  3. Is so good to be among people of like precious faith,

  4. people that have the same common denominator.

  5. A love for our Lord Jesus Christ, making him the

  6. number one priority of their lives.

  7. Again, Man, direct her attention to Luke chapter number two,

  8. Verses number four through seven, and Brother Nathaniel Luke chapter

  9. number nine, verse number fifty eight, and Brother Jesse Second Christians,

  10. Chapter number six and verse number two. Brother Nathaniel, would

  11. you read that Luke Chapter number nine, verse number fifty eight,

  12. And Jesus said, unto him, foxes have holes and birds

  13. of the air have nests, but the son.

  14. Of Man had not where to lay his head.

  15. How many of you believe that was very disappointing when

  16. the disciples of Jesus heard him speak that I want

  17. to preach a man is the Holy Ghost titled Heavenly Hospitality.

  18. Heavenly Hospitality, Brother Jesse seca Corinthians, Chapter number six and

  19. verse number two.

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

  21. accepted and in the day of salvation, how I suffered THEE.

  22. Behold now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the

  23. day of salvation.

  24. Ay Man, I believe now is the accepted time for somebody.

  25. There is an appointed time, God's appointed time, and there

  26. is an accepted time, God's accepted time. All right, let's

  27. stand for the reading of our golden text, Luke, chapter

  28. number two, verses number four through seven. The Bible says

  29. that Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the

  30. city of Nazareth into Judea, into the city of David,

  31. which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house

  32. and lineage of David, to be taxed with Mary his.

  33. Espouse, wife, being great with child, and so it.

  34. Was that while they were there, the days were accomplished

  35. that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her

  36. first born son and wrapped him in swaddenly closed and

  37. laid him in a manger, because there was no room

  38. for them in the end. Will you read the latter

  39. part of verse number seven with to be because there

  40. was no room for them in the end.

  41. Again, I want to preach a.

  42. Message the Holy Ghost titled Heavenly Hospitality, which to stretch

  43. your hand towards Heaven.

  44. And asked the Lord to help us in this place.

  45. Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for the opportunity

  46. to be in the house of the Lord tonight.

  47. I did not ask for this station.

  48. You put me here, and I prayed that I would

  49. be able to do what you have asked me to do,

  50. that I would accept this also responsibility as pastor of

  51. this church, and feet your sheep. They are your people

  52. and the sheep of your pastor. I pray that you

  53. would annoy it me, said a guard in my mouth,

  54. and help me to say the things you would have

  55. me to say, nothing more or less, and bought the

  56. ears of this not people, that they might hear what

  57. the Spirit of God says or to the church through.

  58. The preach word, through your written word.

  59. May these sayings go below the shoulders, going to the

  60. soul and the spirit of the man, not just in

  61. one ear and out the other. I pray that we

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

  63. name in the church said amen again. Reading Luke chapter

  64. number two and verse number seven, the Bible said, and

  65. she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him

  66. in swaddened and closed and laid him in a manger

  67. because there was no room for them in the end.

  68. Our text is found in a New Testament book of

  69. the Holy Bible Book. The members of Bethel Holiness Church.

  70. Are no strangers to the author of this wonderful book

  71. or the other writing of Luke, the great Man of

  72. God that.

  73. Traveled with the Great Apostle Paul.

  74. Most of the people in this building understand that he

  75. was a well beloved physician. Luke knew the Disciples of

  76. Jesus personally, and he accompanied the Apostle Paul on his

  77. missionary journey and during his last trip to Jerusalem, and

  78. also after Apostle Paul set.

  79. Forth to go to Rome.

  80. Luke was found to be a faithful travel companion. He

  81. would have been most familiar with the burden and stress

  82. of traveling. How many of you are familiar with the

  83. stress and the burden of traveling. There's a lot of

  84. people in this building tonight that do not travel very often,

  85. and because of your lack of familiarity with traveling, you

  86. find to be a very stressful situation. The process of

  87. packing and getting ready for a trip, the preparation is

  88. very bird and some too many people in this building,

  89. while amongst you, there are people that are very familiar

  90. with traveling. Brother Nathaniel and I travel quite frequently. Sister

  91. Howell and I travel quite often, and you could say

  92. that Sister Howell is an expert concerning preparing for a trip.

  93. I have been.

  94. Amazed at times the careful planning that goes into one

  95. of our trips by Sister Howell. She is truly a

  96. wonderful travel companion.

  97. And I'm sure that Apostle Paul.

  98. Knew exactly what he was doing when he allowed to

  99. Loop the beloved Position to travel alongside of him.

  100. You will find that.

  101. Apostle Paul was not one to allow somebody to just

  102. work through through the process haphazardly. He was not one

  103. to permit a laxaday'sical attitude.

  104. Concerning the ministry.

  105. You will find that one time when he was working,

  106. he was building tents according to the Word of God,

  107. working as a tent maker, and I have no doubt

  108. whatsoever that he had a good work ethic.

  109. I've got so much I want to pour into you

  110. all tonight.

  111. I ask you to.

  112. Pray for me that I will not hold you too long.

  113. Having not preached for a little while. Now I've got

  114. some things that I need to take, God take care

  115. of concerning you.

  116. But when you.

  117. Think about Luke, you think about somebody that understood what

  118. good hospitality would mean. This was a man that had

  119. a medical practice. If he lived today, if you were

  120. to look at the reviews online, he would be a

  121. five star rated position because in the Word of God,

  122. there are no lie and it was recorded in the

  123. Word of God that Luke was of a loved position,

  124. and so he had wonderful bedside manners.

  125. I feel like he was a man that was well

  126. spoken when he spoke to those that would come into

  127. his medical practice.

  128. He was somebody that was very sensitive to their needs.

  129. And one that would follow through.

  130. And I know that that's very important to a lot

  131. of people in this building tonight.

  132. You've heard from sister Starrett.

  133. She was hospitalized recently and she sat over there at

  134. the Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers.

  135. She was treated so well.

  136. What she was saying is everybody was so hospitable, and

  137. everybody was so considerate, and they took such good care

  138. of me, and so Apostle Paul was blessed to have

  139. a man like Luke traveling with him. And I wonder

  140. just how all involved was Luke concerning their lodging and

  141. other arrangements. Brother Nathaniel, I feel like concerning maybe some

  142. of the physical.

  143. Ailments of the Apostle Paul and.

  144. The other fellow laborers, there's no doubt that Luke was

  145. the one that would tend to those needs.

  146. He would be the one that would mend the wounds,

  147. one that would tend.

  148. To the bruises, one that would treat the infection. So

  149. this man, by nature, he would have been a very

  150. hospitable man.

  151. And I believe that he.

  152. Was heaven sent, and I want to preach a message

  153. the Holy Ghost title to heavenly hospitality. I believe the

  154. Lord grace the ministry of the great Apostle Paul with

  155. this beautiful personality, the beloved position Loot. Not only did

  156. he grace the beautiful ministry of the Apostle Paul, but

  157. he graced the sacred written by allowing the Doctor to

  158. write these wonderful treaties that we find in this wonderful

  159. Divide librariy, specifically Luke's Gospel and also the Book of Acts. Sister,

  160. how when I think of your proper planning and preparation,

  161. I find you to be a wonderful travel partner. So

  162. this man would have been a wonderful travel partner. I'm

  163. sure that he had treated many people of different nationalities

  164. that he would not have been a racist or bigot.

  165. He would have been.

  166. Somebody that was very mindful of those that were in need,

  167. regardless of their financial status or their political situation.

  168. This was a man that put the needs of others

  169. ahead of himself. So what a blessing he was to

  170. the great apostle.

  171. Paul. Let me ask you something right here, right now,

  172. as you're sitting in that pew. Are you a bless

  173. to those brothers and sisters sitting in that view next

  174. to you?

  175. Are you a beautiful personality in your local home church?

  176. Are you a beautiful person.

  177. And personality within the family of God? I remember one time,

  178. Sister Howling, I set out to go on a trip,

  179. and it was just on a moment's notice of God

  180. had put it in my heart to travel a great distance.

  181. I gave her little time to prepare properly, but within

  182. an hour and a half she had got prepared for

  183. eight people to sit out on a journey, and we

  184. embarked on that journey, not knowing.

  185. Exactly where we were to go. But thank God, we

  186. were appointed.

  187. We had a divide appointment to meet somebody.

  188. And you know what, God honored Sister Howl's obedience.

  189. She did not fight or fuss with me because of

  190. the life I can notice. Not immediately she responded, some

  191. of you aren't getting this.

  192. I said at the beginning of this message, it is

  193. an accepted time, and it was an appointed time. Sister

  194. Hall and I knew right then that God had spoken

  195. to us that we needed to move out and to

  196. go into unfamiliar territory. And we met up with somebody

  197. that was in dire need spiritually.

  198. And I remember as we were.

  199. Traveling, we ran into this situation where we were unable

  200. to find properate lodging. I remember speaking to one hotel

  201. clerk after another. I remember driving from one hotel to

  202. the next and asking this question, do.

  203. You have somewhere for me and my family to.

  204. Stay through the night? Do you have any beds available

  205. for a family of age? And for a period of

  206. about two to three hours, we were.

  207. Told time after time, no, there are.

  208. No vacancies here, and sometimes even though the sign was

  209. flashing no vacancies and desperation.

  210. I would go.

  211. There and rittle the door, then.

  212. Ask the question, do you have a room for me

  213. and my family? You see when went from being happy,

  214. go lucky travelers or to becoming weary travelers. And you

  215. know when you get weary you need some better lay ahead.

  216. I want you to look at our golden text here

  217. right now.

  218. The latter part of loop two and.

  219. Seven said because there was no room for them.

  220. In the end, we were on a trip.

  221. We think and feel it's best to put our family

  222. in the very best room in bed that we can afford.

  223. I remember getting to a point where I'd say, just

  224. a room, and we be willing to stay up just

  225. about anywhere. I'm too tired to drive that I'm carrying

  226. precious car there, leave me some rest.

  227. It didn't matter to me if it was fifty.

  228. Dollars to stay there, one hundred and fifty dollars. You

  229. may say, well, I would have slept in the car.

  230. We tried that simple water.

  231. But when you've got a family of acor and they're

  232. trying to sleep in the car and everything, it doesn't

  233. work that way that you think it does. You might

  234. be able to slide out there and you pick up

  235. truck and break.

  236. Time and catch some Caesar and the rest lit over a.

  237. Period for thirty minutes. But when you've got a family

  238. of anker, there is no way that.

  239. Anybody's gonna get any rest.

  240. You see, we.

  241. Don't believe that our family belongs in an optomotive growd.

  242. We don't believe that our family belongs here behind the

  243. dubster and the local the restaurant of some talent.

  244. We don't believe that.

  245. Our family belongs in the busider with a carpetents wort shop.

  246. We don't read that our family belongs to in the

  247. whole style. With that came a time concerning crist with

  248. his dad and Molly had come to Bethlehem after being taxed,

  249. after receiving.

  250. The notification of senses.

  251. And after reporting that with about two to three thousand

  252. other people in they find that there is no room

  253. at all way to the away. It does not matter

  254. how much money they content, it does not.

  255. Matter head how tired they are, how they are, they're.

  256. Simply no ro court.

  257. Jesus, I'm telling you that there's something that Jesus.

  258. He never took up.

  259. That's something that Jesus never forgot when us down and

  260. mom were changing the lamb go to.

  261. There's activity in their own family.

  262. They're all near kidsmen that everybody else in town sending

  263. no man where mess her.

  264. We don't care how come around we are. We don't camp.

  265. Expiritsing there, contractions are not.

  266. There is simply no vacancy.

  267. Jesus dipped along in a stable adjoining to the main house.

  268. We sing the.

  269. Song away and a manger that it sounds so pretty.

  270. We seek the song away and a manger that it

  271. sounds so pretty. Oh you're listening that we sing the

  272. song away in a.

  273. Manger that it sounds so pretty. But really what should

  274. be said is and what should be sung?

  275. Us away in a feeding trauta. I said away in

  276. a feeding trauma. There was no room in the end,

  277. and the baby has found himself in the.

  278. Feed trouper on an animals.

  279. He'd come on now, I want you to know whom tony.

  280. I've seen it over the last monser, Jesus says, done

  281. everything he can to come up in your heart to

  282. change your life, and the set up resident Sena in

  283. your heart. When I've witnessed.

  284. Amaking heart and I have in these pretty.

  285. Spirit as you said, no, you dvakan see no breaks,

  286. no room for.

  287. The Holy Ghost to move in, no room for salvation.

  288. All times that Jesus did not belong in a stable.

  289. He belonged in every room in bethel Ham, I said.

  290. Already the population a bethel Ham was probably between two

  291. thousand to three thousand people around the time of the

  292. birth of Christ. I know that a sister Charity.

  293. Howell had I been living in that day in.

  294. Time, and she had been praying to the Holy Ghost

  295. as to what was going on, she would have had a.

  296. Place prepared, I said, Sister.

  297. Charity Hallow would have had.

  298. A place prepared it.

  299. It does not matter if you're a vision this foolisher

  300. there amerging this wiza. It doesn't matter if you're gave

  301. a pastor hallis churcher, if you're going to the Penecostal church,

  302. the church.

  303. And godda ca Syria Gada, or a.

  304. Holiness churcher or a Baptist churcher.

  305. You have there your sending me a chase version. Oh God,

  307. Let me will prepare your sapper, wouldn't nobody's checking up,

  308. old guy.

  309. We will prepare your sap Nobody says, pray, we'll prepare yourself.

  310. We're gonna preacher says, preach your Bible. The answer that

  311. is no, ten thousand times no. God spoke to me

  312. concerning three or four in this field, and you said.

  313. I'm prepared, I promise.

  314. I could preach a serm entitled I'm preparing, I promise,

  315. and you conclude with this, that's a lie. That statement

  316. is a lie. It doesn't matter your person, how frequent

  317. you attend services. It doesn't matter how many alter services

  318. you participate, how many altars.

  319. You he go for a narration and lotivity of your.

  320. Stale in the altar, you can tell.

  321. When somebody there has prepared.

  322. Him a room.

  323. The Christmas song goes.

  324. Who like this, let every heart prepare him.

  325. I'm here and not to ask you a question. Have

  326. you been hospitable to the Lord?

  327. And you just like those others?

  328. This said, I've got.

  329. No tie for this that, I've got.

  330. No room for this.

  331. I've got a social media account, apology.

  332. I've got friends that are bad friends. Did I break

  333. God's heart on a daily basis?

  334. As I disregard the scripture?

  335. This send evil communications corrupt good manners.

  336. I break the Scripture on a daily BASI by keeping

  337. that company. And because of that, slowly but surely, my

  338. character is being corrupted. A disregard to preaching of the

  339. Holy Ghost, I disregard.

  340. The rulin and the sphirit of God.

  341. Talks and interpretation comes. It says, throw a messager from heaven.

  342. He's interrupting the service, as he did their Life of

  343. Mary and Joseph. But you seem to miss her the

  344. message of the messenger, and you walk out without your

  345. Christmas card. I said, you don't walk her out without.

  346. Your piece of mail.

  347. An aunt of.

  348. Mine asked me two weeks ago. She said, Rotter, he's

  349. your new her mailing address.

  350. I gave it to her.

  351. I looked for it every day, I.

  352. Pretill two days ago, and she said, did you get

  353. her your Christmas card?

  354. I said no, ma'am, I did not. She said, I

  355. suspect her.

  356. It was not the others. I went into the postopice.

  357. I told the pushmaster I wanted to mail it.

  358. They nailed me.

  359. They charged me, she said, but they forgot her to

  360. stand stampa every letter.

  361. She said, you would have talked.

  362. To her if I went into the.

  363. Post office at the postmaster.

  364. We're not over RETI want Brissa a man that she.

  365. Said, I've been receiving the card a.

  366. To a card, a to a card.

  367. As weturned this sender. We know post this Stampa. Hold it.

  368. I'm here tonight to tell you you got a Christmas card.

  369. In your to you and you're nowhere.

  370. Holloa.

  371. I've seen it before. Good people were given the arts.

  372. Good people were great, hearts, hospital people. We'll sacrifice five

  373. to ten dollars and buy some Christmas cards on sale

  374. the year before so that they can give their fellow Christian.

  375. They're a fellow church member a card the next year.

  376. Yeah, it was at a discount of price, but it

  377. meant so much because they had prepared and they had

  378. provided brother.

  379. The thing that they had the laws, and they had

  380. the prophets.

  381. It should not have been a number of oriental pagan

  382. kings coming to find Jesus. There shouldn't have been a

  383. bunch of shepherds over there in the fiod by night

  384. watching the sheep coming to find Jesus. They should have

  385. been better than Motil six. I said, it should have been.

  386. Better the Motial six. When they got to Bethlehem, every

  387. mama should have been on the porch.

  388. They never got it. It should have been on the roadside.

  389. And say, a co who out here Jesus say.

  390. There's a place for you right here.

  391. I tell the Holy Ghost in this place. Huh, I

  392. tell the Holy.

  393. Ghost in this place.

  394. Let every heart prepare him room. Jesus did belong in

  395. a stable a joined to the main house.

  396. It probably wasn't as filthy.

  397. As a peach stye, but I'm.

  398. Sure the smells and work to appealing for a mother

  399. who was.

  400. Holding a tiny new born.

  401. I said, tonight, you have not prepared a room for

  402. the King of Gay. The Bible said, open up and

  403. never rusting doors.

  404. Well, I've never seen.

  405. A door passing my workman of the stone that was elastic.

  406. That I telling you the those of the the nose

  407. of the God, and that there wasn't.

  408. The people of God.

  409. Got to be open for the King. The there with a.

  410. Coma hard prepare.

  411. No roode, no roode that echo through Bethlehem that night.

  412. The land of David's Nativity, the Land of Joseph and

  413. Mary's lineage.

  414. One gospel writer recorded the lineage of Joseph, Joseph, the

  415. father of Jesus. Not the God was his father, but

  416. the earthly father of Jesus.

  417. Another gospel writer recorded the lineage of Mary brother Jesse.

  418. Why O, why was Bethlehem not await? They knew what time,

  419. they knew what season. They had an idea that he

  420. was coming here to this day is for every year

  421. they dragged a cornerstone and they pretend that they're about

  422. to start building the temple again.

  423. But then they drag that corner stone back and they

  424. put it up, and.

  425. They wait till the right time and the right condition.

  426. To build the temple.

  427. And they're building it for the anti Christ. They take

  428. their building it.

  429. For the Christ.

  430. But the Christ has already come. The class they were

  431. looking for had already come. I'm telling you the Bible

  432. city came or to his own, and his own received him,

  433. not but to his Meny has received him to them,

  434. bringing power to be called.

  435. The sons of God.

  436. I'm telling you, if he is from nowadays to.

  437. Drive a corner stone to a.

  438. Certain place, they could have went out there breed.

  439. Certain season has steal that parture and waited for that

  440. purture that I concede.

  441. They could have laid it without class. Child and they.

  442. Supposedly what expected you tell us, I'm expecting it to happen.

  443. I've got a promise.

  444. I'm expecting it to take place. I got a promise.

  445. I'm gonna get saved, I'm gonna get sanctified.

  446. I'm gonna get holding this fielder.

  447. Oh come on now, they left, and it.

  449. Mother in an animal star.

  450. Right where our Lord.

  451. Spent his first few knots was no place for the

  452. second person of the Godhead to close his eyes, lay

  453. his head.

  454. And sleep through the knight.

  458. also the innkeeper of the town of Bethlehem. O little

  459. town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee live.

  460. That's exactly right.

  482. entire town could have been ready.

  483. They could have been prepared because, according to description, the

  484. daddy of John the Baptist Aaraus, he had a seek

  485. of some suspicion there was something about.

  486. To go home.

  487. We find that there were a man and a woman

  488. in the temple that had an idea that something was

  489. going on. Wires men, it was more than three probably

  490. they had.

  500. Helm, what are you gotta do with it?

  501. I said, You've got one opportunity within the wig off history.

  502. That's the hammer, and what will you do with it?

  503. You talking about wasted and lost opportunity? Wouldn't have been

  504. better that the scriptures had a red lock this and

  505. there was a certain man and a certain woman. It'd

  506. been fasting and praying, and they had all in their lamps.

  507. You know, montell six. They made themselves a lot of

  508. business and they done a lot of business Center because

  509. of this slogan.

  511. the voice of that man.

  512. I can hear it right now, that coinside of my

  513. heart that he has him at the end of that

  514. advertising commercial saying and we'll keep the light on for you,

  515. but we'll leave the light on for you, Brother Jesse,

  516. would have read a lot better.

  517. The scripture would have recorded that there was somebody that

  518. was somewhat in tune.

  519. With the will of God, somebody that had been so

  520. close to God that the heavens that could.

  521. Have come and said, there's a map to be sucking

  522. come to you.

  523. Second to nothing that's gonna happened.

  524. To Bethel head.

  525. You may think them the greatest circle. Get Bethel Hemn's case.

  526. It's David that I'm telling you.

  527. Here, and I tell you in Solomon's.

  528. Here, little Beth of him? Why why are you still,

  529. little Beth of him? Why do you not sung ry?

  530. I know this tight season, I know you being nothing.

  531. I know there's a census that don't miss out on

  532. the opportunity.

  533. I suspect a lot of those people do the season.

  534. They knew it was census time, and everybody had to

  535. be accounted for, everybody had.

  536. To be spoken for.

  537. And I'm sure there were some that had Hebrew airbnbs,

  538. Bethlehem airbnbs. Hey stranger, what you're doing with it? Hey stranger?

  539. How about turning in here. I'll rench your room for

  540. the night. I'll let you stay there.

  541. Brother Nathaniel, I don't believe that God has way of

  542. always showing up late.

  543. I believe he always shows up hometown. I know a

  544. lot of people planning in the minds.

  545. Of our kids that Marry and Joseph come dragging in

  546. the last minute and this was the result of their

  547. poor planet. I don't believe that for one bit. I

  548. believe everybody else was subs in that with other things

  549. that they were not properly mind to of.

  550. Who was really coming and who.

  551. Was coming out of there?

  552. So much to them.

  553. Jesus, Jesus, do you realize who it is just knocking

  554. at your heart's door?

  555. Do you realize who it is just standing on the

  556. other side of that door.

  557. This ain't no tidy newborn, Jesus.

  558. This ain't no crucial park her canvis die. This is

  559. the stalking lion of the tribe of Tula. If you

  560. could see here racking alongside of the devil, I'm telling

  561. you the devil truly, he's a formidable throe, that he truly.

  562. Is an adversary. And I let you and name the devil.

  563. This being start by the lion of the Trima Tuna.

  564. But you got to be a chila and color if.

  565. He were coming her deepens.

  566. They had no idea who that was in that pen trough.

  567. They had no idea who that little baby was that

  568. was wrapped in the swadening clothes with their shepherds.

  569. They came and they looked at that baby wrapped hitting them,

  570. swadling closed the rags they knew wrapped in. This is

  571. the Messagah, This is the of God. This is the

  572. one that the heavens lit up about.

  573. This is the one that the celestial beings and tell

  574. it being celebrated.

  575. This is here. Why because in that teen trove was

  576. a parallel.

  577. Being manifested them. Shepherds knew that sometimes they would take

  578. them little lambs, and they would buy them the rats,

  579. and they would lay them in the feeding trouvea, teaching

  580. them how to lay steel, teaching them how to stay home,

  581. and teaching them to know where home was, teaching them to.

  582. Know that that was their proper place.

  583. It should not be that a preacher would at the

  584. preacher serve us after suddenness, after servin us.

  585. To tell you, do you know where your place? Seels

  586. you a carr titter? You know where your place is?

  587. In the kingdom of tighter Why in a little young

  588. person who you're taking a dollar kicking.

  589. Out of the feed trough. Why he and the herd

  590. drunk person when you're thinking of walking away from the

  591. House of God.

  592. They looked and they saw baby raptors fall. They close

  593. and they knew, here he is.

  594. He is the sacrificial lamb that the prophets have prophesied about.

  595. This is that one.

  596. This is he.

  597. This is that one that we were expecting to come in.

  598. Our cotext that brother Nathaniel read is a scripture that

  599. God put upon my heart today. And I have so

  600. many directions that.

  601. I want to go in.

  602. Because I preferred my brothers and let them preach. We

  603. had spontaneous meeting. We just followed the leading of the Lord,

  604. had some preaching, some exportation of some admonishment, a lot

  605. of worship, and a lot of praise. But Brother Jesse,

  606. I've got so many directions that I wanted to go

  607. in tonight in order to preach the between seventy and

  608. eighty people what they need to hear.

  609. But today I knew that the Holy Ghost had put

  610. me on the right trail when it gave me this

  611. code text.

  612. I said a little while ago that Jesus never forgotten

  613. that nobody made room for him. Jesus never forgot that

  614. nobody prepared him room. Jesus never forgotten that nobody made

  615. it a priority for him to have a good place

  616. to stay. In our cotext you will remember Jesus was

  617. approached by some man. The Bible caught him a.

  618. Certain man, and that certain man said, Jesus, I will

  619. go with you whersoever you go. And Jesus turned on

  620. his heels and he said, sir, foxes have.

  621. Holes and birds have nest, but the sonner man.

  622. Have nowhere to lay his head.

  623. I said, our text in one of our context is

  624. about Jesus having no room prepared, having enough place for

  625. him to lay his head. I said, a little while ago,

  626. what I say it again. Jesus did not forget that's something.

  627. Body didn't make.

  628. Room for him.

  629. And he told us, but pretending that they wanted to

  630. follow him off, you better understand that they don't have

  631. room for me, I said. Jesus knew they would not

  632. have room for him.

  633. Foxes have holes and birds of the air.

  634. Have nessed, but the son of man had not where

  635. to lay his head. When he was a tiny infant,

  636. nowhere to lay his head. When he's a thirty year

  637. old preaching man.

  638. He in the sick, raising the dead, casting out their hors,

  639. still nowhere to raise his head. But when he spoke

  640. to his son disciples, I'm preaching on heaven the hospitality.

  641. One time they were concerned, just like you and I

  642. kids sometimes when we're taking.

  643. An earthly trip. They were burning, and they were worried.

  644. And he said that not.

  645. Your heart be trouble in chodfort.

  646. Do you do her? He said, you will leave God.

  647. Believe our showing me that in my father's house there

  648. are needing mecht if that when I saw that, a

  649. little taught you.

  650. I can't it prepare the place for you. But if

  651. I go to.

  652. Prepare that place for you, you've not got to prepare

  653. that that place for me. That I listen to it,

  654. that you experience that heaven the hospitality my father's house,

  655. everybody we will have.

  656. Their place in this hat. There was their place for me.

  657. But in my father's house they be a place.

  658. For everybody in the holy gusty in this place.

  659. A place where says balk of out the swinging, a

  660. place for pay by Jesus Merseys welcome Jesse David Power

  661. her place prepares by Jesus, who was we checked in,

  662. who was despised, or place prepared by such a one

  663. as this.

  664. There are people such as his earthly parents that prepared

  665. a place for him. Joseph prepared a place for this man.

  666. Joseph made a little shop for him in a carpenter workshop.

  667. Mary made a place for him to study the scriptures,

  668. because by the time he was twelve years of age,

  669. there was no priest, no prophet, or no philosopher that

  670. were a match to him. Martha and Mary and Lazarus

  671. preparing the place for him where.

  672. So many did not. In fact, Jesus knew that it

  673. would be so that people would be.

  674. So unhospitable, inhospitable to his followers that Jesus said, you'd

  675. better travel lot. You better travel lot, you better take

  676. one coat, you better just rely on the fact that

  677. I've got a few people here and there that will

  678. open up the house to you. And whenever they come in,

  679. when you come into their presence, you eat whatever is

  680. set before you, and you bless them on the way out.

  681. What he was saying is there are some people that

  682. will recognize you.

  683. Are the messengers of God, and they will treat you

  684. with heaven the hospitality. You all remember the Old Testament,

  685. the prophet to man of God was traveling from one

  686. destination to another by divine appointment at an expointed time,

  687. and it accepted time. You know, my woman who was

  688. married to a very wealthy man, she perceived that a

  689. man of God was passing down their dirt road without

  690. anybody offering him a place to stay.

  691. And she talked to her wealthy husband and she said,

  692. what we need to do is build a room for

  693. the man of God. We need to make a place

  694. for him.

  695. Now, I'm telling you the Hilton, and they probably have

  696. a whole lot more bells and whistles.

  697. In their room than what the prophet had.

  698. The Bible said, she put in that room a table,

  699. a chair, and a lamp.

  700. And I believe it was something else. I believe there

  701. are four things, the three or four things in there.

  702. And brother Jesse, in that day and hour, she was

  703. being quite hospitable, and because of her hospitality, God blessed.

  704. Her in a mighty way.

  705. You will remember the scripture of the said you give.

  706. That prophet a glass of water, God.

  707. Will bless your brother, water lover. I don't know what

  708. happens to the man that brings the pastor smoke.

  709. Bullet and yellow road.

  710. That must be a great blessing to do that.

  711. I'm just telling you, when you prepare a room for

  712. God's people, when you prepare a place, or.

  713. A drink or an issue for God's people, the blessings

  714. of God come down. And I cannot understand life.

  715. There would be three or four people in this building

  716. in him this is.

  717. And after they've seen the medical transformation in the live

  718. privilage you see, after they've seen your modical.

  719. Transformation in a lie for one saying.

  720. Y'all, I don't understand why they're theres.

  721. Aren't open, and all it's one.

  722. That can have allowed her and turn on the vacancy

  723. sider and say, I E picked the devil.

  724. And I am Jesus, say to come here. I got

  725. a room prepared for him.

  726. Brother Nathania, I suspect that a sister Rachel had a

  727. caught win somehow through the spirit or to a prophet

  728. or through her husband, that a preacher.

  729. Such as Jesus, the Key of Glory, the Prophet, the Messiah,

  730. was coming to town She then gave up her own bedroom.

  731. Now gave him her room.

  732. I'm asking you here tonight, what is so precious about

  733. your being?

  734. What is so precious about your place?

  735. What is so so.

  736. So untouchable in your house that would keep Jesus from

  737. coming in?

  738. Why will you not allow him to come in?

  739. Why are you not issuing a perta and saying, come

  740. in Lord? What's going on in there?

  741. Anyway? Going on in there?

  742. Anyway?

  743. Somebody greater than the fence is here. Somebody's coming. They're

  744. gonna rate that room one way or not. They're gonna

  745. grade that room one way or another. They're gonna raid

  746. that house one way or another. They're gonna rate them

  747. hidding quarters one way or another. They're gonna rate that

  748. basement one way or another. Somebody's coming. Somebody's coming greater

  749. than the fence. I'm telling you, the angels of heaven,

  750. which Jesus at the head, they're coming.

  751. They're coming. The Bible said for those that have.

  752. Waited until it's too late, they will cry for the

  753. rocks to fall upon them and to hide them from

  754. the horrible things that are coming. Should I keep preaching

  755. or should we go find something to eat.

  756. It's true. He's in brother Ashley his heart. It's true.

  757. He's in brother Walter's heart. Is true.

  758. He's in brother Aaron Wood's hard is true. He's in

  759. brother Dwayne Harrison's heart. But I want to ask you

  760. a question. Can he come inside of yours? How about

  761. a little sense he's asking you to let him inside.

  762. I did a quick search concerning the global hospitality industry.

  763. It is currently worth.

  764. Five point five trillion dollars. The global hospitality industry. It's

  765. worth five point five trillion dollars. But yet that world

  766. that is welcoming anything, members of the LGBT community, welcoming

  767. anything into their hotels, flying rainbow advertisements on their front doors,

  768. asking any monstrous society to come in. Won't let Jesus say,

  769. but I want you all to know all souls belong

  770. to God, and He's gonna kick some doors in On

  771. that day, a little mighty Mitchief could have jumped out

  772. of that feeding trough and ran to every door in

  773. Bethlehem and kicked every door.

  774. And then that little baby could have set.

  775. Up in that fiend trough, put his arms on the

  776. side of that feeding trough.

  777. And said I am and every door in Bethlehem is

  778. slum d o.

  779. I feel the Holy ghost in this place got to

  780. dinner with somebody. The Son of God hung here on

  781. the cross, feigning to be tied.

  782. There. He said, I could call twelve that house.

  783. Allegiance. What he said, hundreds of thousands of angels beg

  784. of God, let me go get it.

  785. I guarantee you them. Serphilts that sorry was going to

  786. the throne. Let's go get in. Pop. I fell it

  787. up my soul. God was dealing with somebody for the

  788. last time. They n hundreds of thousands, if not me,

  789. as the angels was going to the throne. Let me

  790. go get it. Hey, I'll talk about.

  791. And he hung there, and he went to rooms where

  792. the righteous dead were kept, and he said, you.

  793. Know what he's wearing. Think good or not? Right?

  794. I got half of the hospitality for you, Thank God

  795. for Abraham's bosom. But now to be absent the body

  796. is to be transent with the Lord. I don't understand

  797. what it is about this world that's so fascinate. This

  798. kenfigures from making room for Jesus. But when I read

  799. of that marriage, suffer the lamb. And when I read

  800. of that heavenly hospitality. Then we'll be walking on streets

  801. of gold, I said, We'll be walking on a street

  802. of gold, A continuous, continual street, continuous street, but no sins.

  803. That means something to the construction guys in here, a

  804. seamless street. I'm a feeling there, or y'all freeling it?

  805. It makes me want to say, God, how many keep it?

  806. Just come right on in.

  807. You are the innkeeper of your own soul. You are

  808. the innkeeper of your own life, and you know what

  809. you ought to do. Let your heart door be widely open.

  810. Let's stand tonight, let's sob to a court.

  811. At that time, I don't say that outdoor him.

  812. There may not have been any rooms available in the

  813. hearts of the prominent, of.

  814. The prestigious people of his day, And in this day

  815. there may not be any room in the heart of

  816. the prominent the prestigious.

  817. There were also no room in the end, and today

  818. there may not be any room in the holiday Inn,

  819. or the Marriotte, or even the knights End or the

  820. family Again, was that?

  821. I'm telling you right now?

  822. I've stayed at some pretty rough places as a young

  823. wol just get started, and there's some places I've stayed in.

  824. I never stayed in again. And one of them was

  825. called the Knight's end. But I want to hang a

  826. sign on my heart tonight, brother Jesse, had said.

  827. The King's in, r I wanna hang a side on

  828. my heart's floor tonight.

  829. Desist the King's in to rebow our heads right now,

  830. brother Jesse, we won't hold.

  831. You to the pen and tonight. Just let you rest

  832. and take a break.

  833. Jesus answered that one man, and he said, you know,

  834. foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests.

  835. But the son of Manhattan know where to theay his head.

  836. And then another would come up, and Jesus said, following me,

  837. but he had an excuse. Then another would up, said, Lord,

  838. I follow the thee. And Jesus heard him give his excuse.

  839. And then Jesus basically told.

  840. Them two men they gave those excuses.

  841. This now or never.

  842. Say with Christians six and two is our final code

  843. text is that for he saith, I have heard THEE

  844. in the time accepted, and then the day of salvation

  845. have I suckled thee. Behold now is the except the

  846. time to hope now of the dey of salvation.

  847. And that's Paul's quotation of Isaiah forty nine and eight.

  848. Paul is saying Jesus's arrival was always in perfect time

  849. and brother roducats. I studied the context of both of those.

  850. Written passages, Isaiah's passage and also Paul's passage which was

  851. a quotation of Isaiah's, and basically both of them great

  852. men of God was saying, you better get him, why

  853. you can.

  854. While the spirit draws. I want us to bow our

  855. head and close our eyes.

  856. If you need to pray, even if you're saved and

  857. you're sank to bart Hod, you's stilled that you need

  858. to make him your priority. Let's fill up these altars.

  859. If you're a sinner, then you need to be saved.

  860. Let's pray in this altar. Let every heart prepare him Rumen,

  861. Let every heart prepare him.

  862. Thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Jesus, Thank you Jesus.

  863. Every room in Bethlehem should be available at a time

  864. such as this. Every heart in Bethel should be available

  865. when the king comes to a time such as this.

  866. M
