Twenty fourth chapter in the eleventh verse, Brother Nathaniel, Jeremiah
-
chapter number twenty nine and verse number thirteen. Brother Jesse,
-
John Chapter number twenty and verses number twenty.
-
Four through twenty nine.
-
Brother Jesse, you have several verses of scripture there to read.
-
We miss all of the home folks that were unable
-
to make it tonight due to circumstances.
-
That were just unavoidable.
-
Brother Jeremiah's so good to see you walk in and
-
a meeting and also had a delivery to make that
-
never happens that I know of on a Wednesday night.
-
But nonetheless you've made it in time for the preaching
-
praise the Lord.
-
So I'm glad you're in.
-
The house of the Lord again. We miss those that
-
are not here tonight. We miss each and every one
-
of them. How many of you missed them?
-
Do you miss them? Still? A great crowd, a great
-
group of people.
-
We love you tonight, Brother Nathaniel, you're in my chapter
-
number twenty nine and verse number thirteen. Please, my brother,
-
ye shall seek me and find me when ye shall
-
search for me with.
-
All your hearts.
-
Brother Nathaniel, you mean I have to do something to
-
find the Lord.
-
So the Lord is a god of action. But I
-
have to take action in.
-
Order to locate the God of action and get him
-
to take action and be involved in my life. That
-
is correct. We cannot be slothful soldiers. Sister Iwill told
-
me today she's been listening to.
-
The sermonslothful soldiers. How many of you know? We cannot
-
sit on the sideline and do nothing.
-
The child of God always welcomes an opportunity to do something. Also,
-
that verse of scripture says, you can't do it half heartedly.
-
There's a song that has a lyric that goes like this,
-
ninety nine and a half.
-
Just won't do? You have to search for him with
-
all of your.
-
Being, Brother Jesse John, chapter number twenty, verses number twenty
-
four through twenty nine.
-
But Thomas, one of the twelve called Didimus, was not
-
with them when Jesus came.
-
The other disciples therefore set unto him.
-
We have seen the Lord that he said unto them,
-
except th see in his hands the print of the nails,
-
and put my finger into the front.
-
Of the nail, and thrust my hand into his side.
-
I will not believe now after eight days, after eight days,
-
again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Then
-
came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the
-
midst and said, peace be unto you. Then said he
-
to Thomas, reach hither thy finger and behold my hands.
-
And reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side,
-
and be not faithless but believing. And Thomas answered and said,
-
unto him, my Lord and my God, Jesus, saith under him, Thomas,
-
because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed.
-
Blessed are they have not seen and yet believe? Amen?
-
How many of you appreciate all of the examples that
-
we find in the Bible.
-
That's about ten of you, ten out of seventy.
-
How many of you appreciate all of the living examples
-
that we find in the Word of God. They're still
-
living because they received eternal life.
-
So this is not a fairy tale.
-
And in sight of this divine library between these two
-
leather binders are not idle tales.
-
Woke up early this morning with this verse of scripture
-
on my heart.
-
Let's stand to read Luke, chapter number twenty four, Verse
-
number eleven. I want to preach a sermon the Holy Ghost.
-
Title ignoring the evidence. Ignoring the evidence Luke chapter number
-
twenty four and verse number eleven, and the Bible said,
-
and their words seemed to them as idle tales, and
-
they believed them not. Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we love
-
and we praise you. We thank you for the opportunity
-
to be in the house of the Lord tonight. I
-
prayed God that you would anoint this thy servant. I
-
desperately need you. Would you help me.
-
To say the things that you would happy to say?
-
Nothing more less? Without you, we can do nothing. Lord.
-
Without your words, we will be ineffective in purpose and ministry. Tonight,
-
I pray that you would annot the ears of this
-
my people, that they might hear what the spirit of
-
God says unto the churches.
-
God, let them give the more earnest heed to the
-
things that they're here. I pray God, they.
-
Would not live in one ear and out the other.
-
I pray they would descend into that spirit.
-
Man.
-
Lord, let them saturate the spirit and the heart. God,
-
don't let them just go in one ear and out
-
to other world.
-
Turle in that mind, God, I pray, and get a
-
hold of this.
-
Maybe we depart this place joyfully and not sorrowfully in
-
Jesus's name, and the church sin Amen, as you're being seen.
-
And we'll read our text again.
-
Luke, chapter number twenty four, verse number eleven, the Bible said,
-
and their words seemed to them.
-
As idle tells, and they believe them not.
-
And I want you to remember that the ones that
-
were speaking these words that were almost impossible to believe
-
were Christians, people that fully believed that Jesus was the Christ,
-
the son of the Living God, and people that had
-
fully witnessed that he had rose from the dead. And
-
the people that were questioning the words that were being
-
spoken were also likewise professor and Christians. So that is
-
not a good situation when one professor Christian doubts another
-
professor and Christian's experience.
-
And I want to.
-
Preach a message the Holy Ghost titled Ignoring the Evidence.
-
Our text is found in a New Testament book of
-
the Holy Bible, the Gospel of Saint Luke.
-
The title bears the name of its author. Luke was
-
a doctor.
-
There is no doubt in my mind that he was
-
diligent in his medical practice business. According to the Sacred
-
writ he was beloved by his patients and by those
-
whom he crossed path with, Luke would have desired to
-
see everyone in great health physically and spiritually.
-
The Apostle Paul shared these sentiments.
-
You will remember that the Great Apostle Paul said in
-
one particular verse and passage of scripture that it was
-
his will to see everybody prospering and being in good health,
-
even as their soul prospering. So there's no doubt that
-
by trade, Luke and by occupation the position, would have
-
wanted to see everybody in great health physically. But because
-
of his conversion and him joining himself to the Great
-
Apostle Paul, and after interviewing the other Apostles, there's no
-
doubt that Luke desired to see people prospering spiritually as well.
-
And so, Brother Jeremiah, we know that this child of
-
God was not one to do anything haphazardly.
-
Otherwise he would not have received a five star review
-
in rating from his patients.
-
The sacred Word of God certainly would not record alive.
-
Without a doubt this man was of a loved physician.
-
He would have had good bedside manners. After my son
-
Jeremiah was delivered some thirty years ago, the nurses rushed
-
in and told Sister Howell and I that they felt
-
like they were in a meat market, not a hospital
-
because of the poor bedside manners of the physition that
-
was tending to Sister Howell and Brother Jeremiah. They encouraged
-
us to launch a lawsuit, one that we never launched.
-
But if you'll look at.
-
Brother Jeremiah's cheek, you will notice that in their haste
-
they cut him as they were trying to deliver him
-
from the stronghold of death and try to rescue him
-
as he was stuck there in the wound. They made
-
a mistake. Sister Howell knows it to be true. They blundered.
-
After some time, I believe it was about fifteen years later,
-
I ran into that doctor and I treated him very
-
kindly and I thanked him for his time, although I
-
was impressed at all with his service. And back then
-
people weren't rating things, they weren't giving reviews online.
-
But if I was to give him a review tonight, I.
-
Would give him a zero out of five review and rating.
-
There might be other people that would give him a
-
five star review in rating because he perhaps didn't act
-
in the same manner with them that he did that night.
-
I remember he.
-
Asked the question that I believed had a lot to
-
do with him going from a natural birth to a
-
Sceirian section. He said, you have good insurance, don't you?
-
And I remember thinking that was a wonderful thing. And
-
I answered that question with the biggest smile on my
-
face that I said I do. And suddenly, Brother Jeremiah,
-
things took a turn for the worst. And back then
-
a natural birth was about half the price, half the
-
cost of a Sinceyrian birth, and it was evident to
-
the nurses that he knew he had to operate quickly
-
in order to keep that child from being born or
-
delivered naturally. And so the consequences of his accident and
-
his mistakes are upon Brother Jeremiah's face today. I would
-
say his parents and his wife only know of such
-
a scar. But doctor Luke would not have been one
-
to leave a blood trail behind him, Brother Nathaniel, Doctor
-
Luke would not have been one to leave blood behind him.
-
He would have wanted his record to be clean.
-
He would not have wanted it to be tarnished as
-
stained by the tears of his patience because of medical practice.
-
Malpractice is a serious offense, and it can lead to death.
-
How man if he woke up this morning to a
-
horrible headline? I woke up this morning to an outstanding
-
outlandish headline. It read like this Florida surgeon accused of
-
removing man's liver instead of his sleen. I remember wiping
-
the sleep out of my eyes, and I said, what now?
-
What happened? How could that happen?
-
How does something like that happen in a field of excellence,
-
among those who vow to put others' health and safety first.
-
How could such a responsible man be so irresponsible even.
-
Though he's blessing blood.
-
How could such a highly educated man make such a
-
dumb mistake?
-
You see, the man the patient.
-
Died on the operating table while the surgeon was prison
-
Let me ask us a question. How many people have
-
died under the seemingly watchful.
-
Eye of dad, mama and a pastor.
-
I must admit that I've witnessed some died on the
-
operating table, Some have died while faithfully attending church services.
-
Some have died right in their own parents' house.
-
I've heard parents say before I ignored the warning signs
-
of impending damnation and doom. I had no idea that
-
destruction was just around the corner. The evidence was there.
-
Just a couple of days ago, a Norththorpe Myers young woman.
-
She walked out of her house without her shoes. She
-
was last seen approaching the Edison Bridge, and they put
-
out the red alert and the alarm saying she is missing,
-
something has went wrong, something is amiss, and sister moot
-
and I knew then is not going going to end well.
-
After three or four days, they found her corpse, her
-
lifeless body floating in the Calusa hatching over there, not
-
too far from the Edison Bridge. Upon further research, they
-
said the girl had been hearing deep bonding voices in
-
her head, and they said she just couldn't take it.
-
Anymore and apparently had ended her life.
-
The law enforcement officer said, we do not suspect bouth playing.
-
A lot of times when we feel like foul.
-
Play must certainly be involved, they have emvidence that says otherwise.
-
Perhaps they've found a letter and they do not want
-
to disclose the contents and the writings on such a letter.
-
Perhaps as to how they found some post on her
-
social media page that they wanted to remove and make
-
sure nobody saw it. But there's people that even though
-
the emvidence is there, they choose to ignore it. Just
-
like the pastor this morning, I knew that such a
-
learned man should not be capable of committing such a mistake.
-
How could that happen?
-
I want you to know here tonight that there are
-
people pointing fingers right now. There's some people saying, certainly
-
one of them surgical nurses distracted him, while others are
-
saying somebody plagged the wrong organ. But how can a
-
man that has literally majored in the anatomy of the
-
human body not differentiate between the liver and the spleet?
-
How could he do that?
-
And so when you hear reports such as this that
-
a man right here in Naples, Florida, had liver removed
-
instead of a spleen and a doctor cut a vital artery,
-
you shake your head and say, no head.
-
As Donald Trump would say, this is the faith of news.
-
And I'm not going to turn sideways right there and
-
go on a ten minute rampage about faith news.
-
I had determined I wouldn't even mention that term.
-
The idle tales out of tales. I would say, that's
-
empty talk. There's nothing to that at all.
-
Somebody has not done the research.
-
This might be an error by artificial intelligence that has
-
wrote such an article.
-
I thought, truly, on the heels of such an article,
-
there would be a lawyer picking up a phone that's
-
written in some editor or some journalists for this kind
-
of falsity. But brother Nathaniel, know they're saying now that
-
somehow that man.
-
Made a mistake. It was not an out of tail.
-
I want you to remember our text here tonight.
-
The Bible said, and the words seem to them as
-
out of tales, and they believed them.
-
No, I did not want to believe the words of
-
such an article because I could not believe it possible
-
that a man of such caliper and capacity would do
-
such a horrible thing to a human being, No doubt accidentally,
-
but nevertheless, for sure, I'm gonna read that article about
-
that Holly Trade miracle professional to be outlander, sir, I thought,
-
sure that someone.
-
Does not have all of the person in details. Surely
-
he walked out and done.
-
Like that other surgeon done two weeks ago, allowed his
-
child to cut into the skull of the patient have
-
y'all heard about that.
-
They said, that's coming to be true, that that surgeon
-
allowed his little child to come in here and get
-
a hold of that grind there and it take part.
-
It's splitting that patient skull. I'm telling you you better
-
put your trust in God. I'm not preaching against doctor.
-
So Luke was one.
-
And I know that every doctor in the world, especially
-
in South Florida, is not a careless doctor.
-
That I want you to know.
-
There's some person that details it that people ignore. I'm
-
sure I felt this morning that they should.
-
Have looked him and closely for a reporting something like this.
-
And that's how Lad's leaving the.
-
Remaining disciples, and a few others felt her when married Magdalene.
-
And Johanna and married the mother.
-
Of James, and the Bible said again, some mothers came
-
with such good news, and man, Jesse, they said her,
-
you've got to present me with something else.
-
This seems to us as out of tails her. Get
-
the image room for me. Right now.
-
Would you picture the expression of Peter as Peter folds
-
his arms, he puts his in nuts, finger in his
-
lipp and shakes his head, and he says, just like
-
Thomas say, I'll have to see it in.
-
Order to believe it. I meet. These men had been
-
in the very peas and say of God. In one
-
time Peter had.
-
Been told by Jesus so that he was getting divide
-
assistance and a divide help her. Jesus cuts ole Peter
-
with these words and that that you're here, and that's
-
not demonded persons. So for our heavenly Father, he's revealed
-
danger to you.
-
That you should not know.
-
These were men that gave up occupatience and materialistic claims her,
-
even profitable family businesses, and.
-
In order to voca where Jesus walked her. He's staring
-
heard of there like the heels her.
-
Oh Jesus, they were not doubt hers, and they were
-
not skeptic.
-
So but for some reason, when the very thing took
-
place that Jesus had proclaimed that would take place, they
-
were not ready to receive it. And that's what I've
-
seen him, Sister Woods, so many times.
-
The Holy just is there. He's passent prepared, preacher. Ministry
-
has happened.
-
The elders of its arted, the saints are testify it,
-
and people's been told it.
-
Something great is a not to happen something wonderful. It
-
is to take place up he you like, But somehow
-
we don't really get to the whole up.
-
I've never believed. Thomas said to be a dolt, not
-
one bit. We'll find out her here in a minute.
-
He wanted all the paps of yes, see Tina toller
-
that for a moment after something like this.
-
But brother Jesse, you'll find another place in this stitture
-
where Thomas said.
-
It will go with him.
-
We'll go all the way to death. Thomas diving. That's
-
a Martyn. We're worsing her in India. He was not
-
to the unbeliever. There's so many people taking him.
-
Out to me, but in a loud himself to get
-
into place where he wondered that he's just an idle
-
tale that they're talking about.
-
Then I went to the world, Peter and trying. They
-
knew very well what Jesus said.
-
That, and they ignoring the evident, they ignored the evidence.
-
I fell the holy ghosts in this place.
-
Tonight, whether all of you do or not, I'm preaching somebody.
-
Hey, I'm looking around and I.
-
See testimonies, and I see empty tools.
-
Not empty tales.
-
I want you to remember that I've got two points
-
I'm following mentally tonight.
-
It's empty tails and empty tools. They said, these are
-
out tales. These women have gone mad. They did not
-
get all the tear drops.
-
Out between them.
-
Two eye lids. The eye lysis must be stuck together
-
the light gloom because they're not seeing things clearly. Surely
-
they miss her some important details and evidence.
-
You ain't with me now.
-
These are not unstable men. These are men that were
-
chosen by daughter to follow him.
-
These a young man in your mid twenties, So they
-
won't evangeliza the world the great commission we'll be putting
-
on there through these men and then apollo them here
-
through my every generation. These are not being there that
-
are unstable. That's water that sister, how Peter said, I'm
-
not so sure. I've got to go have her and
-
look for myself.
-
Like let Peter taking, It's been different. There wants some
-
of you are.
-
Think, God said her. I want to feel you with
-
a holy gm stuff.
-
God said her. I want to save him. Come I
-
get to see you, DoD said her. I want to
-
deliver you. Then I want to bless her.
-
If you ignore the evidence of somebody else's experience.
-
They've talked better for them. He can go to you
-
shopping down the aad. So this morning I woke up
-
with that thought just rolling over and over in my mind.
-
And their words seemed under them as idle tales, and they.
-
Believe them not.
-
And Mary Magdalene, out of whom seven devils had been
-
cast it out is the courier. Hey, come on now,
-
the male lady delivering the male is question why so?
-
Why wouldn't they question Mary Magdalene?
-
It doesn't stop.
-
There a dignitary with Inherit's Tamas Jill Annah.
-
That's some others are there, there's some moments there. There's
-
some other women, the Bible said, and Mary the mother
-
of change.
-
I remember Mary writing the Mother of change, and John
-
married to Semite, the sons.
-
Of Thunder outspoken, opinionated. Now I'm praying to speak to
-
mind people.
-
And Mary's standing there shaking her head at the words
-
of the other Mary.
-
And Mary's more than two her free witnesses. The Bible
-
had said, let every word he is staper son out
-
of the mouth.
-
Of two their free witnesses. When we have a revival.
-
In a move of Todd, the godcess of.
-
I've done it before.
-
I'm talking about ety true truth, not try fifty tall,
-
I said fifty tunes. I'm not yty tell. I cried
-
today as I thought about the radical transformed changed life
-
of Samuel Howe.
-
I cried today as I thought about the radically not.
-
To incrementally own me radically transform life of Philippowable. I've
-
talked today other radically transform, warm transform life.
-
Of Jesse Howell.
-
And the list goes on and own and own of
-
examples of empty tubes with sid what's lam of empty two?
-
What did them? What's lef of fifty two?
-
So?
-
What shop does them? And used to go to church
-
fifty pos? He calls the men they used to lay.
-
They are in solid It's not on the free place
-
of the road.
-
I'm telling you that fruit is not there time for
-
too many time.
-
It is a place for you temporarily sit until it
-
comes time.
-
To pray God.
-
The church my benefit if we remove the peace and
-
can't the autis. But the church is doing different, not
-
this one. I'm talking about the church at March. They're
-
removing the altar and they're keeping the fears.
-
Oh, on the contrary, we should not do that I'm
-
killing somebody in this there's too many preachers and too
-
many parishioners ignoring the everden so the death mission of
-
a sanity. He's doing the same thing, repeating the expecting
-
a different end result. They're going to church religiously. They're
-
rustling the same way they're doing the everdens.
-
And what the Bible said, fear fruit.
-
They'll clap your hands shouting a coffee.
-
We have lost the tile wepping.
-
Let me think that one of his neighbors, the folding neighbor.
-
Rather a no, the evidence of what one back there?
-
It'll work.
-
Now, why do we have no the evidence? Well, I'm
-
gonna stay in this rut. They'll learn everglades. Years ago.
-
My granddaddy told me to be so, he said, and
-
he was from this area.
-
He was here before a lot of this even was here.
-
He said.
-
When we go up there, hog hunting and dear hunting
-
and dodging dangerous in the other blades. He said, you
-
come up to a certain na where the big swamp buddies.
-
Went through there.
-
And he said they had made the ruts. And he
-
said there was a sign, they said, a ton intersection.
-
You better choose your ruts wisely.
-
Because you're gonna be in them through all, because there's
-
gonna be somebody coming behind you.
-
There was no backing up, and there was no turning around.
-
Because Winn knows men sending them swamp budgies down her
-
in the ruts. Sister whom you know what I'm talking about.
-
They saw up six brother, Dwayne, you know what I'm
-
talking about. They saw up six or seven feet before
-
they hit a hard bottom. They was saying that you
-
didn't turn little wheedels in that kind of ruddage, or.
-
Are you listening to me?
-
And I'm telling you.
-
They said some of them Northerners would come down and
-
they would.
-
Look at the sign and they would look at the.
-
Rut, and they would ignore the ever nets and they krona,
-
they're away.
-
You would know what, it didn't matter where do they
-
believe that time we're not. If my soul and my
-
slip tell this islands.
-
In a rat they don't want to be advertiser, then be.
-
Out of that.
-
Then the oven that.
-
Stunt people the Book of Vices are talking. I'll stuck people.
-
If they spoke their tongues.
-
You got oven. Do they know the evidence just generation.
-
You're talk talking generation.
-
If they are scared, hell, if they're chilling a God, they.
-
Gotta talking people have.
-
The evidence shall be what are the evidences shall be
-
most likely? The first evidence shall be they shall speak
-
with tongues as the spirit gives the utterance. That unction
-
comes from heaven. That utterance comes from hinting. And it
-
doesn't matter what the critic where. The skeptic says, I
-
know him, brother Thomas Damington's talking to me, and I
-
know him when the Holy Ghost who overshadows him then
-
even against the witnesses to me.
-
Of what God's done to him, and then I see it.
-
Then I see it when the Holy ursle takes over
-
and against the speaker, and even against the praise God.
-
How could you ignore such against there's I stopped her.
-
I'm telling you people that see God doing something for
-
our people, they can see God doing something for a
-
parently they're ignored the there people are.
-
Doing what they're knowing.
-
Ignore the evidence, we truly, but truly the rou cat
-
just got lucky.
-
No, don't ignore the evidence. Well truly, we truly.
-
All them hamlboys just got lucky, got the Holy Ghost
-
got good wives.
-
You can ignore the evidence all that you want to
-
You can be a critic and a skeptic all you
-
want to be. But I'm telling you the problem is yours.
-
It is not those who have been blessed I'm talking about.
-
I see empty tubes and I hear empty tails. You
-
are the one telling the empty tails that the holy
-
ghosts stock for us, that the miracles.
-
Are not for us. You're the one's idle talking.
-
And I want you to know We're gonna give account
-
for every idol Lord that you've spoken.
-
Will are you very minutes? Are not you shutting? The said?
-
Peter?
-
You in there?
-
I talked to the tube, try apollowed you? Why becauseful
-
he knew it was possible all that?
-
What don't I like her? It's impossible that when.
-
You're playing that to go look at the empty two
-
honey weapon, I sell it empty two Jesse.
-
He's no longer the same child as they love me
-
the same, Aaron. They love me to say justice not.
-
Over the same.
-
Why are you ignoring the evidence? He said? And their
-
words seem to them.
-
As idle tells, and they believe them. Not does this
-
spect Peter and unbelieving, certainly, his faith wavering yet again.
-
Certainly he's swinging yet again. The Bible said, the fearful
-
and the unbelieving will not be spending much time with Jesus.
-
I fair a phrase. Now, come on, now, where are
-
you at tonight? Concerning the promises that God had given you?
-
Does it seem to good to be true? Does it
-
seem like this for everybody but you? I'm sure they're
-
living and.
-
The others, the Bible said, we're thinking themselves risen from
-
the dead. Come on, that's what Jesus has said. That's
-
what this whole thing's about. That's why we're selling in
-
Easter o Resurrection sing for those that.
-
You that hate to work Easter.
-
That is in the Bible.
-
You're talking your something about. There's too many people ignore it.
-
They'll never be so the empty tomb, you know what,
-
mother Jesse, we do time.
-
To written record up to that left that encounter. We
-
married not doing it and said there must be something
-
to it. I'm gonna go see it for myself.
-
And the Bible said, they read.
-
To the empty tabor, Hawaii is I'm not going to
-
get here or cancer? Why is the talk they're trying
-
to get for you? Left with the whole post and
-
the house of God. He is not for you to go, said,
-
because people aren't loring.
-
Never, why would.
-
Jesus himself have to t a plan go to the
-
other room, to twelve disciple, and they spread the word.
-
And only one hundred and twenty took there invitations and went, oh,
-
come on now, why they only one hundred and twenty
-
about show up?
-
Brother Jesse, I believe it was a lack of invitation.
-
I don't believe it was a lack of medical station.
-
I don't believe it was a like of miracles.
-
I believe there was so many he knows towns that
-
were welcoming the miracles.
-
And when it come time for them to.
-
Get it themself, when it come time for them to
-
get the holy ghosts themself, listen, Jesus invite them to
-
a personal awaking, a personal experience, and.
-
A personal encounter.
-
That where were they? Y'all? Let that sink in. The
-
miracle worker the Bible said, the books.
-
Cannot contain all the miracles that he does. The miracle
-
Worker said, he's coming, The Holy.
-
Ghost is coming.
-
You tear together and ten days after ten days, brother Wood,
-
I don't having you there within m day one. I
-
don't know how any enough O day too. But after
-
ten days about had twenty had I agree those hundred
-
and twenty had been the watch tear in. So Peter
-
and John ran.
-
To the tube.
-
And the Bible tells you who got there first? Tell me, uh,
-
John's the one that got there first. You know why
-
John got there first, because Peter was dealing with shit,
-
game and guilt and shame. He was dealing with guilt
-
and shame. Let that resonate. He had just portrayed the lord.
-
He had disappointed the Lord. But brother Philip, he said,
-
I got to see this evidence for myself.
-
And John looked in ahead of you and said, it's true.
-
It's true, It's true. It takes a very fooloss person
-
to argue with it, Edittorney of gs and the fights
-
and Man Horseman, and to say, there's no way that
-
doctor cut the liver out instead of a spleet. And
-
it takes something eta listen out to argue with Peter
-
and Jahna as they said, miss Mary, miss marry, miss marry,
-
she was rocked her, I said.
-
Someone, Sarah, I do she was rocked her? Well? Wride alone?
-
Did you take that?
-
Say?
-
But you, Sarah.
-
He is alive.
-
The tube is empty.
-
To no no longer.
-
Struggles for sin, and no more struggles the cutching moves.
-
He no longer struggles the pet He no longer sun
-
and goddamn.
-
It that.
-
They said they shall have a forum of gubdliness, a structure.
-
They'll have a church somewhere on the hillside. They'll have
-
a church somewhere in the slap Oh my, don't right
-
with your silly heel and he's stinking.
-
Slop her and stop. I'm a church and a power.
-
God have a thought of comings structure. But the now,
-
the power them. I need a prayer at church. He
-
needs you to pray for me. It doesn't tell us
-
in the narrative what.
-
Peter said, but it does tell us in the narrative
-
what some others were thinking and what he was thinking.
-
And their words seem to them as idle tales, and
-
they believe them not the word of.
-
God said, praise him all. You people. Ain't no way
-
that works.
-
You think, just seems that to me is empty talking.
-
But you've seen an empty tube. Or what happens when
-
last year comes forth? When Jesus says come forth, that's
-
an idle tale.
-
I've heard this, and I've heard that. I've heard this one,
-
and I've heard that one. The point here is they
-
knew he was to raise from the dead.
-
And better the thing.
-
If somebody's asked and in this moment risen from the dead,
-
how can that be?
-
The point here I'd like to make is God never died.
-
The earthly god Man the colonel side of God.
-
He's one hundred percent God, one hundred percent man, and
-
one hundred.
-
Percent God, God in the flesh, God incarnate. The earthly
-
Man is dead.
-
The god Man was on a rampage. The earthly Man
-
was buried and lay lifeless. But the God Man the
-
city into the depths of the earth, after ripping apart
-
of the earth cruster.
-
Some thought it was an earthquaker.
-
Some thought to the earth shooker. Some thought the universe nothing.
-
It was the God of Him and the earth ripping
-
up to that the crust of the earth. He went
-
down Abraham's bissl.
-
He had the conn the second time. Then he went
-
with God. They can't sup he that's taking a cred
-
got call. I'll talk, he say, telling.
-
You believe, and there's no way it's an hour town.
-
Do you believe that thou want the Christ, the son
-
of the liver dog. Do you believe that he will
-
feel you with the Holy girls?
-
Good your mind? He will do it. Do you believe
-
or that he will feel you were the Holy girls?
-
When you believe, you will have a promise.
-
Ten hours for you too.
-
Forget about the effigance and the mysteries of nature and
-
embrace her the mysteries of.
-
The Creator himself. I'm gonna start there.
-
Forget about the mysteries and the conflicts of politics and
-
talk radio and the evidences thereof, and start investigating this mystery.
-
And he wants to fill you with holy ghosts, and he.
-
Wants you to shout unconditionally, and he wants to give
-
you a joy that is abundant. You see, brother Jesse,
-
Jesus took the keys of death, hell and the grave
-
from Lucifer, and he still holds him in his hand.
-
They're still on his key ring. For the first time
-
in probably fifteen years, I locked myself out of my vehicle.
-
I'm not an absent by the person. I laid the
-
key fop down took the call, and then Brother Jesse
-
got out quickly because I was hungry.
-
It was one point fifteen.
-
If we get out of the Migos and immediately my
-
vehicle screams and hollers, You've done wrong, bad boy, and
-
it's just an O. And those guys working over there
-
building new Coopers, they all stopped what they were doing
-
and looked to me. I'm telling you I was already
-
embarrassed and humiliate it. Now I'm interrupting their job. I
-
mean they can hear that over the heavy what do
-
you call that stuff?
-
Equipment and all that. They stop what they're doing to
-
watch me.
-
I get inside of a Migos and my friend, he
-
Sus Jesus, goes to Mengozie, he works.
-
There by the way. He come over and he said,
-
Pastor Howl.
-
Wants you to know your vehicles out there doing crazy
-
things and it's acting up the hazards or flashing that
-
the windows are lockage it's doing. I said, yeah, I know, man,
-
I locked my keys in and my Keypob's in there
-
and I can't get it released. But I've got an idea.
-
I'm fixing a downloading app. It's sister, howld at Bill
-
was important when I bought that expedition for her, by
-
the way, that's why he's got that pink rim around
-
the tag. And so I said, when I bought it
-
for I downloaded that app and I'm going to see
-
if I can get that back on her phone.
-
They asked me for the email. I put it in.
-
They asked us for the password, and it has something
-
to do with how much he lost me and the
-
year that I was born. All right, gods, and so
-
that's her password, and I put it in and suddenly,
-
right there on her phone.
-
The first thing I saw was do you want it
-
locked or unlocked? Do you want to.
-
Slide this bar and turn the engine on or do
-
you want to turn it off? I thought, the first
-
thing I saw is what I'm looking for. Could it
-
be that all I've got to do?
-
Sitting right here with chip dip and chips and sauce
-
in front of them, it's just hip we little button
-
light they touch the unlocked button.
-
We looked to him that for about ten seconds and
-
saw them side mirrors.
-
The ears of my car opened up, and I said,
-
look at that. It worked.
-
I didn't need a locked Spif I didn't need anybody,
-
there could be somebody saying, hey, there coming from heaven,
-
their open troo will be hip and unlocked it for it.
-
But I saw the evidence, and I'm putting you it
-
takes a very floss person took us knew.
-
Him, and I worked out on the hole the gust
-
we will see the eye to knock up for the
-
t earthly power cannot manipulate a Locke like that. It
-
came from the atmosphere.
-
Our own power and our teaching and our admnishent and
-
our exorbitations cannot change a man.
-
But you know what the power God can. And so
-
when I go into a building and I see outward manto.
-
Stations and demonstration to the spirit, I can't help but say,
-
you know what that's for them?
-
Yes, but it's.
-
Also for me because the Bible said it's for your sons.
-
And it's for your daughters. Should I keep teaching herself and.
-
Go to the house.
-
You see, I had a hard time believe in that
-
author's story today, But you know it's true. From what
-
I'm hearing, it's true, and you can't ig nor the evidence.
-
I've never had a problem believe in doctor Luke's story.
-
Not only did doctor Luke give us.
-
Easter story of the burial and the resurrection that Jesus
-
had to the crucifixion. But doctor Luke also gave us
-
his second treatise that he sent to Theophilus, that he said, I'm.
-
Gonna tell you that holy good power that poured out
-
up the room also at Cordias's house like a tornado.
-
And I'll say this, that's at the Jesse Howell's house
-
like a tornado. All right, you get more of them
-
evidence all you want, But they can doubt that Erma
-
and Ian came through little Bell than fort miners all
-
they want to.
-
They can say, there ain't no way a storm of
-
that capacity to come in and do that kind of damage.
-
I'd say, just like the man pulled Nathaniel, you just
-
come and see.
-
Was the found Nathaniel and said come see after Nathaniel
-
said can any good.
-
Thing come out of where Nazros? And what did Philip say?
-
Come and see? Why? After you've seen do you question why?
-
After you've had an encounter? Do you want to why?
-
After you see the spirits do you question it? There's
-
been no evolution here. There's been an experience. There's been
-
no gradual progress here. A radical, a radical change is
-
taking place in people's life, and so why aren't you
-
willing to do what it takes to have the same experience.
-
I believe you are, and I'm encouraging.
-
You here to not to let you know this is
-
for you.
-
It's for you. It's for you.
-
You see, these women were not delirious as they supposed
-
and that's what we're running into suphysicians and assumptions. Brother Caleb,
-
Peter come for room, tongue talking. He come out staggered.
-
I guess the grace of God let him collapt himself
-
enough to preach. Brother Beautif.
-
That's because the Bible said the spirit is subject to
-
the prophets, and so he decided to do as Apostle
-
Paul said, you know what, it's time to stop tongue
-
talking and start preaching to these people. And they started preaching.
-
Are y'all with me right here? I'm telling you some
-
of you are still with me?
-
And so Peter he began to preach, and he said,
-
you suppose men are trunking.
-
We have not been up there in that up to
-
room on a ten day trunk.
-
We have not been down there in label Florida on
-
a ten year or seventeen year trunk.
-
We've been down here experiencing eighty two, after eighty two,
-
after emty two.
-
I'm telling you this is falk out of tails that
-
you're hearing about. It is well, honey. People are getting healed.
-
People want to be a safe people want to be
-
a second part. People on be a field with a
-
hall and passed away.
-
When you suthing and there's something, they say, take you.
-
But that's a layer of character down there. They try
-
to make you feel like you're delirious. Them guys are
-
trying to make these women feel like they're delirious. These
-
ain't silly women running from house to house. These are
-
godly women rather than the sat I feel like pizza
-
in another thirty minutes. I don't know if we're just
-
so saturated. The words they spoke were having sent Mary
-
Magdalene was anointed. She was speaking the truth to those
-
she loved. Nearly the Bible says speaking the truth in love.
-
This is good news. I'm telling you. You can receive
-
power after that. The Holy Ghost has come upon you.
-
Men and women can receive it at their house. If
-
you're not in a church where they promote it, you
-
can get it at the house. John Westening the family
-
of their Methodism and the Methodist Church. He said his
-
heart was strange and warmed as he played it over
-
there in the building on Aldersgate Street, two angelic beings
-
reminded these holy women of God what their Lord had
-
said to them whenever marry them got there, Aunt Joanna,
-
and marry the mother of James, And the Bible said,
-
other women.
-
I don't know how many other is. But when they
-
all got.
-
There, them two angelic beings were reminding them on what
-
Jesus said, And I'm trying to remind you tonight, or.
-
What the Word of God said.
-
You shall be filled with power after that the holy
-
ghost has come upon you.
-
But when they shared the news of their experience and their.
-
Encounter with angelic bens, some felt as though, I'm not
-
so sure.
-
I'm not sure.
-
It's just silly women with empty talk. It's empty tombs,
-
not empty talk. You're moorning evidence. You ought to open
-
your blinded eyes and look and see what God has
-
done for grandchildren, for nieces and nephews, but for dads
-
and homes. If you'll notice the verse number twelve, the
-
Bible said, Then a rose Peter ran into the sepulcher,
-
and he's stooping down. He beheld the linen cloths laid
-
by himself and departed, wondering in himself at that which
-
had come to pass.
-
Okay, so he's still got questions, but now he's definitely
-
a believer because it's come to pass.
-
Just like Jesus said, the tomb is empty. It came
-
to pass, whether you want to believe it or not.
-
Johnathandaver's got the Holy Ghost. It came to pass, whether
-
you really believe it or not.
-
What he had was not enough.
-
Don't let he have now is more than enough.
-
It came to pass that brother jense did put away
-
that old nature and has become a new creature in
-
Christ Jesus. People can say whatever they want to. Oh,
-
I'm not so sure about that. That's for them, that's
-
not for us. That's not what the Bible said. And
-
I must say it again. The skeptic and the critic
-
and the unbeliever, more than likely they're not going to heaven.
-
Amen.
-
Even Apostle Paul said, you don't forbid them speak in tongues.
-
You better be careful that you don't speak against the
-
Holy Ghost and parrot y'all know this.
-
When the Holy Ghost is speaking, and I've said it before,
-
don't you come open in here one service and in
-
the next service getting loud and being used to give
-
a message. That's it for critical and that's confusion. And
-
I'm gonna call you by name soon. Holy Gooes is
-
not helping Jesus as the author of confusion.
-
That's what they said.
-
Though I speak with the tongues of angels now, I
-
don't have love. Love is unconditional. I love him no
-
matter if the bills are paid or not. I love
-
him no matter if I had a flat arm away
-
to church or not. And I've got the spirit. The
-
Spirit's welcome to manifest no matter what crisis I'm dealing with.
-
I had some very troubling dreams last night, and I'm
-
not wanting to tell dreams, but they're very troubling.
-
And there's some of you need to understand that in
-
this near and we are living in the end of time, and.
-
There's some very important things about to happen in this
-
upcoming presidential.
-
Election, and we need America the experience of a bifall.
-
And so Peter knew it's come to pass, and I
-
don't believe there's anybody in this building in denial that God.
-
Has done wonderful things.
-
I don't believe there's anybody in de all that brother
-
Philip has been healed child of God.
-
Listen. They can wonder about what has taking place.
-
In your life and in your family, and they can
-
question the genuineness of your encounter and experience all they
-
want to.
-
But your words aren't idle tales. You know what you know.
-
And Luke, chapter number twenty four and verse number eleven,
-
the Bible said, and their words seemed to them as
-
idle tales, and they believe them not. Unbelief is their problem.
-
It's a big problem too, but it doesn't have to
-
be our problem. Again, Unbelief is their problem.
-
And now what we need to do. We need to
-
pray that the unbelieving and the fearful will get to Jesus.
-
Peter got to the empty tomb, and you know what,
-
it was empty, just as Marian said.
-
And whenever you get the Holy Coast, you're gonna say
-
it was easy, just like sister Woob said. All I
-
had to do was put certain things away and focus
-
on Jesus. And you're gonna say, oh, yes, it was
-
as easy as sister Hallie said.
-
I was getting closed. But you get closed and then
-
you walk away.
-
We won't be parking out there by McDonald's to get
-
cheap by fi for countless hours watching nature shows.
-
You'll be over here on fire forest seeking them. Said,
-
I'm going to tell you you better get the holy ghost. Now.
-
Are you going to die for no reason pretending to
-
be a martyr.
-
There's no doubt there were people that died honoredly as
-
self professed martyrs, but inside they were sinful. Their heads
-
rolled in the same bucket that the god fearing the martyrs,
-
holy goosts filled martyrs rolled into. But they died and
-
went straight to hell pretended the ben Christians remember that sermon.
-
I feel holy ghost in this place. I'm not false
-
accusing anybody. I may not even be talking about you.
-
I don't know who's using the cheap WiFi to watch
-
movies and do this and do that. Why would I
-
do that when I need the holy ghosts.
-
After his personal experience in John Sha after number twenty
-
and verse number twenty eight, we found what Thomas said,
-
my Lord, and by God, you know the Bible said ought.
-
To use the Lord's name in vain. Y'all remember that, right?
-
And if when I'm preaching I say, oh my God, that's.
-
Because I'm literally adoring him and praising him and thanking him.
-
I'm not just winging his name out there on baying.
-
And that's what Thomas did. I need to wind it down,
-
brother Jesse.
-
So many people called him Dalton Thomas, Dalton Thomas what
-
it was.
-
He was definitely having a problem believing.
-
It was a temptful problem because he did say, unless
-
I put my fingers into the kneil, prince dress, my
-
hand in his side, I will not believe.
-
He didn't want to ignore the evidence.
-
What he was saying is present me with the evidence,
-
and upon the presentation of the evidence, I will embrace truth.
-
And this is my point tonight.
-
Thomas is unlike those of you that are ignoring the evidence.
-
Thomas requested the evidence say that he might embrace it.
-
The tomb was empty, the body of Jesus was gone.
-
That few could be empty by the uplifted hands and
-
the praises of a spirit filled believer.
-
Empty tombs not empty tales. There's nothing empty about these
-
people's personal experiences.
-
Thomas may have been uncertain that he wasn't full of
-
unbelief as so many implied. He was holding on with
-
belief with his hesitation, yes, and with uncertainty yes. But
-
once he encountered Christ after that personal experience, he was
-
convinced the problem was he had a problem with people's
-
personal reports. I'm not gonna trust what you're saying. I'm
-
going to experience for myself. And my point is I'm
-
trying to make a hero out of Thomas here. Laterly
-
he's become one of my favorite apostles because what he
-
was saying is, I'm not going to operate on Mama
-
or Daddy's third tail and coattail. I want to get
-
this experience from myself, the one over something of your head.
-
And brother here and my brother Jose, Brother Jesse said,
-
I loved that. There's so many people fought accused of
-
dear Thomas, but they.
-
Said when he was being executed in India, there was
-
no doubt his mind who he was dying for.
-
My Dear the Holy first place, when you get it
-
like God wants you to.
-
Have it, Sweet Jesus, I can't serve to the Holy
-
goost inside right now. Listen, if you have to see it, Thomas,
-
then open your eyes and see it.
-
If you need to feel it, Thomas, and open your
-
eyes and start feeling after it. Start feeling after him
-
until you find him. The Bible said he'd be not
-
far from every one of us. Let's stand tonight, brother Jesse,
-
what you to the piano? Mary, Peter and Thomas felt
-
after him until they found him.
-
And they found him because they did not ignore the evidence.
-
Our third cotext tonight was Jeremiah twenty nine and thirteen.
-
He said, and ye shall seek me and find me
-
when you shall search for me with all your heart,
-
with everything that is with him real the Eathan.
-
That night you got the Holy Goost too. You think
-
there was a shadow of doubt in there that he
-
would feel you, no doubt, And there's no doubt in
-
my mind tonight that God woke me up this morning
-
on purpose. You need to forget about politics. You could
-
talk to Sister Howell. I'm not saying to ignore the
-
president's election. I'm saying you know you need to vote
-
for it, and you've decided that already. Now go in
-
November and catch your vote. Otherwise, don't say nothing about it.
-
But right now you don't need to know anything about
-
either side, because you've already hopefully made up your mind.
-
But it's certainly in commonly, So why waste any more
-
time when you need to seek God. You don't need
-
to validate Donald Trump. He's already my sluction. But what
-
we do need to do between now in November is
-
get the holy ghosts. So if we receive news we
-
don't want to hear, we can have a comfort.
-
I feel good right now. Don't y'all feel good?
-
Right now?
-
God can move in this building right now. I'm seeking
-
out to Jesus. I'm searching out to him.
-
Brother Jesse, didn't he know what I was gonna preach
-
you all to night? And he got up an exhorted
-
on searching right, what are you looking for? They searched
-
empty twos, but.
-
They didn't ignore the evidence. This isn't a brow beat
-
you over the head message.
-
This is I'm telling you get your chin and this
-
is your message God gave to your pastor to preach
-
to you.
-
This is no fairy tale, this is no dream, This
-
is a reality. This is not empty talk. This is
-
not somebody beating the air again. This is not empty talk.
-
I'm pointing at empty tubes, and by example, I'm saying,
-
you're gonna be filled with the Holy Ghost and feel
-
stopped weighing yourself down with so many carnal things. I
-
told my imprecious bride, and this is for somebody. I'm
-
still pretty savvy. I'm pretty familiar with politics, but I
-
am safe, sanctified Holy Ghost field, and evidently study the scriptures.
-
And I'll watch very very little clips, maybe one or
-
two a week. I don't listen to talk radio anymore.
-
I raised my kids on it.
-
I remember a time when the Holiness Church will We
-
attended would come to me and ask for them. They
-
would ask me how to fill out the ballot box
-
for the election, the general election, primary election, y'all remember that,
-
Howell kinch But God dealt with me about listening to
-
so much Rush, Limbard, Glenn Beck, Todd Stiff, Sean Hannity,
-
Won't Levin, And I realized, I'm hearing all of that
-
and missing out of so much. And so I told
-
sister how yesterday, I said, you know what, I've pretty
-
much quit all that altogether. I raised a howld children
-
without us driving down the road listening to the radio.
-
After God convicted me of that.
-
But they remember there was a time in our history
-
when every time they got in the car, it was
-
taught radio. Well, now it's just a few songs that
-
play on a trip. Sister Howell turns on Spotify and
-
plays gospel music. That's the extent of what I'm pumping.
-
In his head.
-
Because right now, brother, that you're about, all that matters
-
is that you get the Holy Ghost. Right now, all
-
the matters brother Christians, that you get the Holy because
-
you can forget about everything else. You know you're gonna
-
vote for Donald Trump. Right now, Brother Tyler, all the
-
matters is that you get the Holy Ghost.
-
This message. I wish somebody tricks like this to me
-
thirty something years ago. I know somebody preaches like this.
-
Sister Rachel, she'd got old up there and got the
-
Holy Ghost. She's got the Holy Ghost now, so she
-
can't do it again. She don't want to do it
-
first works again.
-
She don't want to seek it.
-
It's too great to lose, says to what. You don't
-
want to go through that seeking for uss anymore because
-
you don't want to lose it. For a moment, I
-
wouldn't want to lose it for ten seconds. It's not
-
that the seeking wasn't worth it. The Bible did say
-
you seek, you shall fight. But right now there's something
-
just now deciding to seek him right now because here
-
it is on a Wednesday night, and our pastor just
-
happen to preach.
-
Old but knowing that.
-
And he just had to be mentioned to them. It's
-
not an idle tale. It's not empty talk. So now
-
I'm thinking about it. But oh, if you think about
-
Jesus the way I've been thinking about timp double cheeseburgers.
-
Here we got to get over the last few days.
-
I started to say here a week ago, but over
-
the last couple of days. At about ten o'clock, I
-
look at Sister Howell, hands out of the house now,
-
and then I say, man.
-
I could use on a greasy slough your double two
-
burgers right now. And here's what she says. She didn't
-
used to say to this. She said, well, let's go
-
get your one. I don't know if she'd get one bit,
-
I don't know. I just wants me to have what
-
I want right right now. These altars are open.
-
This ain't empty talk. This is an empty talk. It's
-
not an idle tale. It's not just a fairytale, sermon Berger.
-
This is not something that's impossible. This is attainable. It's reaching.
-
We'll go ahead and singing, brothers, hey man, ignore than evidence.
-
