God can reach you and meet your need - Bro Jeremy Howell 5-8-2024

Numbers, chapter number eleven, verses number twenty three through twenty five, thirty

one, and thirty two. Brother Nathaniel, Philippians, Chapter number four and

verse number nineteen. Brother Jesse, Amos, chapter number eight, verses number

eleven and twelve. While you're turning there, look at your neighbor somebody and

say, hey, neighbor, have you been complaining? Say no, I

have not, have you. I don't really know why God gave me this

message to preach to this people on this Wednesday night, but I do know

that the Lord dealt with my heart concerning this particular verse of scripture numbers chapter

number eleven and verse number twenty three. Brother Nathaniel, Philippians, Chapter number

four and verse number nineteen. My God shall supply all your needs according to

His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Wow. But my God shall supply

all your needs. The reason why his God would supply their needs is because

he was their God too, Brother Jesse. When you read Amos chapter number

eight, verses number eleven and twelve, behold the days come, saith the

Lord God that I will send a famine in the land, not a femine

of bread nor a thirst for order. But of hearing the words of the

Lord, they shall wander from sea to sea, from north even to the

east. They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord,

and shall not find it. My Ma, Ma, our dear brother

brother justin rope Cap says often during Sunday school, we are well fed here

at Bethel. All right, let's stand for the reading of our Golden text

numbers chapter number eleven. Let's look at Versus number twenty three through twenty five.

The Bible says that the Lord's siding to Moses is the Lord's hand waxed

short. Thou shalt see now whether my words shall come to pass unto thee

or not. And Moses went out and told the people the words of the

Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and

set them round about the Tiber now called. And the Lord came down in

a cloud and spake unto him, and took the spirit that was upon him

and gave it unto the seventy elders. And it came to pass that when

the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied and did not cease. Now I

want to remind this people in February of twenty twenty three, and this is

May of twenty twenty four. In February of twenty twenty three, one night

in my office I asked the Lord to do this very thing. Just a

few days later, God sat divide and filled with a hole it ghosts several

of the men in this church, and called them to preach that very week.

Now I want to draw your attention to verse number thirty one, the

Bible said. And there went forth the wind from the Lord and brought quails

from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were

a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on

the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubans

high upon the face of the earth. And the people stood up all that

day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they

gathered the quails. He that gathered least gathered ten homers, and they spread

them all abroad for themselves round about the camp our Golden Texas Verse number twenty

three. And the Lord sat under Moses. Is the Lord's hand waxed short.

Thou shalt see now my words shall come to pass unto thee or not

with to stretch your hand toward Heaven. Ask the Lord to help us in

this place. Tony, Heavenly Father, we love it, We praise you,

We thank you for the opportunity to be in your house. We pray

God that you would anoint this thy servants and a guard in my mouth and

help me to say the things that you would have it to say, nothing

more less. Anoint the ears of this thy people, that they might hear

what the Spirit of God saith under the Church through your blessed word, through

the preaching of your words. I prayed God that we would not be hearers

only, but that we would heed these words. We know the Spirit of

God has been speaking to us, Tony, through these that have testified,

these that have exhorbited, these that have admonished. We thank you for what

you're doing in this house, for this thy people. We pray God that

these people would depart this place joyfully and not sorrowly. In the name of

Jesus and the Church says hey man, drawing your attention again. Our Golden

Text numbers chapter number eleven and verse number twenty three. The Bible says,

and the Lord said of the Moses is the Lord's handwax short, thou shalt

see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. I

want to preach a message the Holy Ghost title God can reach you and your

need. God can reach you and your need. Our text is found in

an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible, the Book of Numbers. This

book is the fourth book of the Old Testament and also the fourth book of

the Bible. While reading through this book of the Bible again last month,

I noticed that God let his people, the Israelies, to Mount Sinai.

In fact, in recent weeks I have preached from this Book of Numbers.

Now I want to preach from this Book of Numbers again tonight, and I

want to draw your attention to the contents of the Context of Numbers Chapter eleven.

I noticed that God led his people whom he had chosen, whom he

had specially selected to be his chosen people, these Israelites, to a special

meeting place, naming the mountain called Sinai. He wanted to meet with him

there. How many of you feel like God has met with us in this

service tonight? Truly, we have detected and enjoyed the presence of the Lord.

I'm glad that the name of the Lord has declared and proclaimed here.

I'm glad that the name of the Lord is lifted up here, and that

because you all are lifted up the name of the Lord, he is drawing

mankind within this area unto himself. I want to encourage you to keep lifting

up the name of the Lord. The Bible said, the name of the

Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run into it. And our saying,

we as the righteous people, the children of God, have come to

this meeting place. We have refused to forsake the assembling of ourselves together.

We're anticipating his revival. We're anticipating his arrival. We have promised a revival

in the end of time, and we are also promised his arrival, and

that is the reason for our gathering. These people were commanded together around Mount

Sinai. God met with them there. Any time God promises to meet you

somewhere, he will meet you right there. If it's in a den of

lions or a burning turness, God will meet you there. And I'm thankful

tonight that we're not out in this world, which could be a den of

lions. At this moment, and I'm thankful that we are in a burning

furnace where the spirit of God is burning within the bosom of those that have

gathered together. I know that many did not feel the need together together to

not in the house of the Lord, but every child of God ought to

feel the need together together. The same way, all the members of the

twelve tribes of Israel were commanded together around SINAI. We are no exception.

We are together in his house. The son said, I was glad when

they said into me, let us go into the house of the Lord.

You see, it was there right there when God chose to enter into a

covenant with him. How do you know that this very night is not the

knight when you will enter a covenant between you and God. These Israel,

as a nation, twelve tribes of people, thousands upon thousands of human beings

had gathered together, and the Lord had entered a convenant with them. At

that moment. The Lord did not hesitate for a second to assume the role

and responsibility of being their God. He would have no problem holding up to

his end of the deal. They would choose not to uphold their end of

this deal. Their punishment would be this, they would not be permitted to

enter into the promised Lamb in the immediate future. Even though the majority of

these children of Israel did not follow through on their promises to God, unknowingly,

they knew firsthand from their numerous experiences that God was able to take care

of their physical and spiritual needs. Having interview in this building, to not

fear like God is able to meet your need. God is able to reach

you and your need. There is nothing whatsoever out of the reach of God.

On this poolk at tonight, I've got a measuring tank by the brand

named Milwaukee that belongs to brother Nathaniel Howell. On this measuring tank that I

believe I bought for this brother are his initials three letters in lh abbreviating Nathanna

Leave Howell. We have pulled this tape measure out to twenty five inches.

If you'll notice with me the lead to my arm, you will see that

my arm is twenty five inches long. That happens to be the average lead

of most males of their arm. And I want you to know here to

night that God's arm is not twenty five inches long. I remember being a

young boy. I remember being a lad and even an infant and a top

ri. And there were many times during those times of my life that things

were out of my reach. I was saying able to get a hold of

things that I wanted to get a hold out the family cookie jar was out

of my reach on purpose because Mother knew if I ain't too many sweep cookies

that I would have a problem with my health. There's certain things in certain

stars that have cut out of the reach of her little hands and little arms

because the store older does not want it certain little people to be able to

reach it or they get their hands hold it. I want you to know

that God knew whenever he called his people out of Egypt, took what they

would have need of on their journey. He need to just call a handful.

He camped thousands upon thousands, and he knew that he was able to

supply their needs. In fact, the Bible teaches us that they had no

clothe in needs because not one thread when with her over around. They had

no needs to have shoes and upon their feet because the rever on somebody's sandal

would never wear around. God was the permissioner, and God was that protector

and wants you to know if you're a child of God, He's reliable in

the positions and the rolls of protector her and provided her. I feel like

a somebody in this feld and you do not have a proper understanding God through

he is. Do you realize who the creator of the world is? Do

you realize who's got the university in the powerment of us hell? Who's moving

the university from the Citic position? There's no God that thees is Reliza.

After that, been to the rech sea on Trigram, after that, seek

God's supply need after need that he was able to reach her. They knew

they were serving the right God from their numerous expirens. And they knew that

God was able to take care of the physical the spiritual needs. The promised

he would do so that he did so he upheld. He's in mena deal.

Hey, how about you when the trials they're testing, the tributations and

turblesses, they are you going to hold up or you're gonna deal? How

many of you understand the notts of God saved. He made a confidant with

you. He made a deal that was irresistible. The turns and the conditions

were there. In fact, it was unfair on his part because we could

not do nothing for he who can do everything. God tell me, is

there anything too hard for God? The rich man, seemingly in an impossible

situation to maintain his salvation. Jesus lett me, non, rich man,

I am able to help you. The young person is overtaken by the cares

of this life. Jesus has let him know. I can help you.

With the weight of this world is upon your shoulders. Jesus had promised these

people and my son that he would help them. The creator of the universal

has no problem at all needing the physical needs of every one of his creatures.

If it's a human being, a remember of the animal kingdom, and

a fist in the sea, he has no problem at all he needing the

needs of every one of them. There's not one cricket and one blue well,

or one baby boy or one grandmother. This outtack of eyesight, man

complide, there's no one out of this reason. There's nobody that's kind of

need that he does not left to me. I come to note to test

somebody he hears you can understands he knows what I need of He knew before

you ask for what you're needed. It's still okay to ask, even though

he knows how many present tonight are thankful for his protection and his provision.

Brother Jesse, get your brother's take measure and pull it out to twenty five

inches. I want you to pull measurement own, brother Richard Jacob's arm.

Go from the top of the shoulder out to his fingertips and kind of tell

me what you're measuring. It doesn't have that doesn't have to be perpect.

Tell me what you're measured twenty seven and a half inches. Go over there,

measure brother Ethan road caps are. Then tell me what's your measuring?

What is the distance my brother Ethan road caps are from the top of the

shoulder to the fingertip twenty five Go over there to better Micah and measure the

distance of betther micas are arm and tell me what's your getting, Brother Jesse.

You remember the Bible they said that those men would sometimes besser things with

a cubit. A cubit which was from the end of the middle finger to

the elbow, which is a distance of eighteen inches. How long was for

the maca's arm sixteen inches having emb you have noticed her. Then when a

baby is born, their arms are so short they do not even extend down

to their waist. But a step bell against the developer, his arms begin

to get longer because he's gonna have to have her a longer rich or come

on now, hurry and get me a suck out Heaven their father, but

he's stopped the longest to richa, God's riche. It's not twenty five inches,

so God's richa. It's not sixteen inches, it's not the average riza

a twenty five How watching to know? God can reach you, He can

reach your more need sight. You might be secret, but to reach her

chees sir, I tell us somebody that we go seek her dead? Were

still we then to reach her? God sister daughter was testifying and not so

well about how God brought her from the bottom. And as she was testifying,

I couldn't help but think, and God brought some of us from below

the bottom. You know who's living below the bottom. That child that was

raised in a good family, That child that was raised in a God fearing

home, That child that did so much for God and then turned and walked

away from God. That child had God been so much for her, and

yet they turned and walked away from God. That's somebody living, beloved.

That person is taped to you. They square heat of their body. That's

somebody in living. But no, the bottom where the trump out of tears,

that's somebody in living. But lo the bodle where that person of ill

reputation he is. I'm so taithful that God can reach you. The loan

the bottom, I tell us somebody, Toby, mother, God can reach

you. Hey, come on now we can ride. But t no,

he will still be able to reach you. Lo are his people and the

sheep of his pastor. He's able to take care of us because he's our

protected and he's our provider. If you look at our gold and text again

number chapter number eleven or twenty three, you will see in the lord set

of the Moses is the Lord's hen white shirt. He didn't save my head.

He's trying to make Moses understand I am your Lord, and don't forget

that boy. It'd be like a daddy telling a son. Is Daddy's hand

short? Is his arm? Short? Is his hand? Tiny? Is

the Lord's hand? Right short? And now you shall see right now whether

my world shall come to pass her unto thee or not. When I was

reading through this eleven chapter of the Book of Numbers to get the context him,

I found the reason for the Lord making this statement to Moses. He

was telling Moses, I speak through you. You are the oracle and the

mouth peace of God. And Moses, I have heard people complaining. That's

what I was saying. Where a road captain, not knowing what I was

gonna preach on them to night. God was upset because people were complaining about

that bread. It be a rod. Gop was saying. They were complaining

about and they were asking for me, and they were wondering, why are

we going without? Why do we have her this need? And come on,

why would God have to speak to God's man and tell God's man to

tell God's people that I'm cocked there, sir, that I'm taught you that

I know what you need before you even have. You know, before you

got that blessing that you got tonight, God knew you needed that. You

know, before you got that beautiful family that you got tonight, God knew

what you needed. Sister Hall told me something years ago that I have never

forgot. She said, if something ever happens to me, she said,

don't ever forget that you were what I needed. She said, at a

critical time in her life. I appeared seemingly from out of nowhere, she

said, singing like an angel from heaven. What are you doing here?

Why did you show up at this high school at this time, just when

I was at my WIT's end, Just when I wondered was come hearing me?

All the knots a praid on the nuts when I read my Bible,

and nobody else at the public house there seen and arrested and buy an emotion

the Bible study, and everybody else was throwing up here in the away.

I was refusing to turn n away. I was refusing to drink alcohol.

I was refused betrayal her. In the tower they give out the Troy because

her seeing me, I could not beat them, but did for that of

no less seeming you appear that you know what I needed. I telling somebody

in this theater of the night, Doc knows watching me. We all be

committed to the covenant. We all be faithful to the covenant. Tell you

made of best council sid that knight, when you and destinate need, then

you said, God, be my God, then I'll be more pleasing.

Do you realize what a benefit it is to us to be called the sons

of God, to be the chunn of God, to all equal shares of

heaven with Jesus, for Jesus to give himself the title of a man.

You will God with us, our big brother old wings with us, Thomas,

and to never leave us promising and never let us out from under his

arm. And Thomas will go with us every stepping away from every Situasai.

He stop telling God watching me, and to do it without and go ahead

and thank God for what He's already done and what he's doing right now.

Loo. Why would God have to speak through the mouth is of God moss

under the people? Why would the Lord need to make such a bold statement

as this to anyone? Why would a preacher ever have to take a test

and tell somebody is there anything too hard for God? You saw the latter

part of urse number twenty three, didn't it? He said, thou shalt

see now whether my word shall come to pass her unto thee or not.

It sounds similar to what's to find they're concerning tithing, He said, prove

me now here liveing the pie will not open the windows of heaven and pour

out a blessing upon me, one of so great I'm paraphrasing right there,

because who said they were their God? That's why they can have competent and

trust in their provider, in their protector, because God, Jehovah, God,

their provider, said, will do it? Now? What is all

this fussing about? I said, what is all this fussing and talking about?

Come on now head? If God prods that do right, you're gonna

get it. They were displeased with their diet. Well, that's what happens.

When you're wondering in the wilderness. You will start to wonder. You

will wonder what happened? Where am I at? What's going on? Has

God forsaken me again? They were displeased with their diet. Read between the

lives. Why are people getting miserable because of it? To a pressure?

Maybe? Why are people feeling uncertainly about their situation because they should be moving

over in a different direction. You know what, they're eating things that they

don't like her. Do you know why they're eating things that they do not

like her? It's because they're disobedience their disobedience, asserted their disappointment. Sir,

if you're disappointed right now about your situation, it's because of your disobedience.

And God told you that calling this direct and it will be okay.

Oh yes, sir, you will be disappointed when you're disobedient. But I

don't like this doet of manner. I'm disappointed with it. If the Israelites

had not a disobeyed God's commandments, and if they had a trust in His

directors and his Gouda's, the journey from Egypt to the parts land should have

taken a much shorter time weeks instead of forty years. Now. I've mentioned

that several times over the last few weeks. It was supposed to be attorney

that lasted maybe four weeks plus or minus. Some scholars have said that it

just got on with it. They would have made it in days, and

they could have made it in days, but God sent them along the route

because he was concerned that they were not ready to fight the battles. The

Bible said that enemies would have overtaken them, But even though they took the

round God chose for them, it still would have been about a four week

attorney rather than a forty year attorney. No, just tells me you could

be right. There come a sensuay but not developing the spiritual and a jurney

and the lack of spirits of development are not believeless. Today is a polo.

They are in the pressions of God. They professed to be in a

comment the relationship with God thesile in the midst of the movers of God the

stealer and a spiritual payment hadn't completed up about the bird? They why why?

For the year they were thinking about Egypt. They were thinking about Egyptian

entrees that they seldom partook of, when they should have been thanking God for

what he had provided. They were thinking about Egyptian entrees, those melons,

the onions, and the garlics that they saw the Egyptians eaten. They were

thinking on the things of their past, rather than thinking God for the things

of their present. They should have been thinking about lie ahead of them.

They should have been thanking God for what lies ahead of them, and they

should have been thinking about what lie ahead. If you properly think about our

promised land home, this celestial city Heaven, you do I have no problem

whatsoever thinking about Asia behind you that used to be a home, but that's

no longer from home. I thank God for where I'm in the parers.

I thank God for our church family. They'll cut the hole in the church

up up the bell. They also thank God. And I've been thinking all

her the future. I've been thinking now for that heavenly home. After the

Lord spoke to Moses from out of the midst of the burning bush, he

called Moses by name. He told Moses to put off your shoes from your

feet, boy a paraphrase, because at that moment farm ground had become holy

ground. At that moment, farm land had become a holy land. The

Lord did not hesitate to identify himself as to God with Abraham Isaac from Jacob

the lad to Roses that he had witnessed the appreach of the Hebrews, not

how good they had a to tomorrow. You get what I'm saying here.

They're worried about the chips in our trains, meeting them by knowlans, leeks,

onions, cornage. And God said, I didn't see where you had

it you had that. I don't see where you were eating up and were

lost there. I see where we were eating. The Lord would state castle,

I didn't see where you were pressed by that prince's preacher. I don't

see where pod was open out, and who must have had another I saw

you in your cant I saw you when you and your family was sun that

That's what God said, Moses. I see, it's not like your renimberhood.

That's what really was. It's not what you think to remember now why

you thank you. That's how it really was. That's why God raised the

deliverer named Moses. Could God raised a man up to deliver a family,

a nation, a church. Absolutely The Lord Tomoses that he had been an

eye an ear witness to the affliction of the Hebrews, not how good they

had it, not how great did they enjoyed it. The food there was

not pleasant. They didn't enjoy one mouthful of it. They wouldn't have had

enjoyed it even at that moment if they could have had it, because the

Egyptian taskmasters would have been on their backs, making long and deep the furrows.

God to Moses, for I know their sorrow For I know their sorrows.

A direct quote of what God told Moses. For I know their sorrows,

I know why they know that Egypt. Whenever that represents her it,

it's a denomination. It puts an organization. Now, if it's a certain

church, if it's a certain good, if it's a certain talk, it's

an honors community, it's a Hindi community, for I know their sorrows.

Have you forgotten your sorrows? Have you forgot the motivation? Have you forgot

the force of comidantial person that forced you to attend across a urgency? The

Lord told Moses that the land before you is good land at large, and

it flowing with milk and honey. And I was praying in my office today,

brother thea than Law, and I said, God, I love the

thought of that. And I've always thought of it. That's milk coming out

of a coke and out or something. But God brought it to my mind.

Where there is a lot of milk, there is plenty of meat,

there's plenty of cattle, there's plenty of goats, there's plenty of sheep.

And you want what you knew when you got such animals with large lamb.

That's what God said. It's a lady the poet with milk and honey.

There's a large lamb, meaning there's space. There's spacio son for your cattle.

There's spacial soap from a sheep. There's spacial soap for your coats.

That's gonna be cleaning rough. Why the word what are you thinking of?

Hit? What's the height? Said mother? God is just saying the lamb,

what's space? That's a oh yeah. If there's a land of plenty

of milk, there's a land of plenty of meat, their cattle and their

DUTs and the sheep and abundance. Sister, how when God said eighteen years

ago go to La Bel Florida. I know you only see four people there,

but it is a land of plenty. That's the very thing God spoke

to me was get up from among that old people, from that old country,

and go to a land that I shall show you. He didn't give

me a root print, he didn't give me a road matter. He just

gave me a name. Then he wants my mail, Then can I kill

you? It's this threeceless son for the howl will truck they'll be straight slessn

for gonna say up there that time we come from the land was too small.

Every time we thought it was posing out talking and say no, God

open God. God opens up hows an opportunity. God opens up jobs,

God opens up out. God opens it up. Why are you thinking about

what's back there? Nother than thanking God for what's my hand and praising from

what's up ahead. God's players for you are wonderful. He's able, He's

able to reach you in your needs. God's hand has not waxed short.

It's a beautiful, spacious land here. There are plenty of benefits there.

Once you get there, you'll find out. The Only thing is you need

to start stop murmuring and complaining and grumbling and grapping Ash Janus and Jammers and

their family and Cora, Barm and Nathan ask them the ones that grumble and

complain and grapping my moore like there are the ones that don't make it,

as does anybody in this house here. Then you just need to stop complaining

and get to where you're going as soon as possible. Because the marment you

rest in God, the moment you trust God, the moment you want great

God, he will open up for you. It's a beautiful, spaceless land.

There's plenty benefits here. In fact, this land is your land.

This land is by land right. It was made for you and me.

This land that you will possess is so great that the Canaanites are just gonna

want to hand it over without a fight. In fact, you're gonna have

to capass the city walls because they're gonna secure every nook and cranny. They're

gonna secure the walls with archers. They're gonna secure the building. Their brothers

says, they're gonna secure the gates. Are you fights that you've got here?

Oh? Yes, you have, ever sit you got entertaining. You

better keep boxing, You better keep worshiping God. You better keep shuttling the

practiser, because one of these things, the walls and the obstacles and the

hegrets and say I'm gonna be a rain flyer and goes, I'll find down

just Gospra says something. He is. God knows what's in need. I

said, God, mean, what's an eating? Before you realized the canaan

iesed that just opened the door, didn't they and say, oh, what

is ours as yours? Come take it? No, they fall for it,

they've defended it. Yeah, you're gonna have to fight for it.

God's not gonna just hand it to you. You're supposed to learn how to

play something. You better practice. You're supposed to possess the city. You

better keep going out there and fire forest and praying. Hey, come on,

I said at the beginning of this message, God was gonna hold up

his end of the deal. The question is you gonna hold up your end

of the deal. Are you gonna get tired? That's what happened around foolish

virgins. Jesus was coming, and then it got to where the bridegroup was

within their reach, and there came out of call. The bridegroom was here

and there sound asleep, and only a few were properly prepared. And on

repet went in with the bridegroom. How about it to Nove, just because

you're holding into your hair a promise, son, that's not me. You're

gonna see it for me? A what? And you to play back?

And there as a stables room, you're not not see it. You all

remember that promischieous woman that died on the threshold of health. It took took

the mon that just came to me. As I'm preaching, she had went

out played it her way, she had went out done her way, and

then when she got home, the door was locked, it was shut,

it was steadfast. Come on, brother Joshua. And she had played around

and tore it around with seeing and then she fell there at the door,

and she died at the threshold. The next morning her husband opened the door,

and what did he find? Somebody that was with him his reach.

Hey, the Holyness just promise example to me, if she'd had just been

able to knock him a little better, and if she'd have believed in the

promise and had never walked out of that house, either way she would have

been or not with her protect her. She lit up here with a provided

Oh my God, I'll tell her somebody. God has blessed you. God

has promised you the lossing me. But you could die not the threshold.

If God will say it was not that I could not reach you. I

wonder if what he's casting the goats out of his presence? What is sorting

flock? And he's putting the sheep over here and the goats over here.

I wanted the sheep and get a pat on the back. Well done,

thou good and faithful servant. Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

But I wonder that the goat come up short, do part from me the

worker working. Yeah, this is not a message that I conjured up.

This is a message that comes straight out the boards the glory. God has

spoke to my heart and showed me that if you don't possess your promise with

thanksgivin, you will have the pas Because you can't possess it for yourself.

He was handed to you. You ever had it a kid something and they

snatched it out of your hand? And you know, once you think that

moment, I wish you hadn't even offered anything. The thing is, there

ain't nobody gonna snatch nothing out of God's hand. I got some grandkids just

about as quick as I am. The Howard kids know I'm not boasting them,

but I've got fired or a pile of reflexes. And at this age,

at fifty, right at fifty, we could be in the sun as

barbecue restaurant or just about anywhere and something can fall off the table and before

you can blink and eye, I've done reached under the table and call it.

It was that that was with me recently. Brother Justice said I saw

and he said, I can't believe it. Before the brain could even process.

I'd called it just like that, and even hardly wrock my body a

bit, just went to it. And God is a lot quicker than you

are, and God's a lot faster than you are. I think you're gonna

come in at the last minute. That's what them five fool's urgens talk.

Well, now the situation has changed. Now the situation is conducing for me

to sneak in and trick my way in and manipulate my way in and say,

well, is it in time? Now? Is it in time?

Is it everything all right now? And in time? Now to get in

and it's time to get my blessing the time? Oh, come on,

now, be not deceived. God is not marked whatsoever a man. So

if that's shall he also rid? Should I keep preaching us shop we go

to the house. There's a lot of people that are within driving distance and

walking distance and moving distance of being in the center of God's we are,

But they refused to do it. And I want you to know God's hands

tell her God was trying to reach to them. God knew what they had

knew of, but they would not uphold their end the hod the deal.

It's not that God's hand has waxed short this way, and that they were

going to possess was so great that the Canaanites are going to fight for it.

Will the devil's fighting me tooth and k them? What did you expect?

Did you expect anything less than the devil to be the devil? You

see? The Lord was angry with these people who called themselves the children of

God if you would church attending people, faithful people that met him at Sinai

and met him and their covenant. The Lord was angry with him because they

were complaining to Moses. They were showing themselves unhappy, they were showing themselves

disappointed. He gave them meat for a month long period. Meet meet meet,

preaching, preaching, preaching, Shermanman, Sherman, there's permanential pressure,

you know, God with you, what a god boost you ought to nerve.

And they get so much teaching, and they get so much teaching,

so much impodesy so much. It's such short. So he right until I

get sick of it, be gus, I don't want to hear my boy,

I'm not gonna go like God tell me to go, and somehow no,

because Moses has fault that they're misery all right. God gave them so

much meat, six hundred thousand warriors, and the rest of the Israelites would

be fed. God's hand has a white short That's what the Lord told Moses.

But Jeremiah is the Lord's hand, white short. His hand will never

lose its power. Has blood bump born to give chilling to God. We

love to sing that song concerning the blood. It will never lose his power.

Neither will the hand of God. Philippis fort nineteen sept. But my

God shall supply oh your need. According to Him riches in glory by Christ

Jesus, not by your ability, not by your complaining, not by your

murmuring, not by you thinking about your past, but by Christ Jesus.

Our hand may be short and powerless, the sixteen inch long arm of brother

Micah might be limited and powerless to a certain degree. But God is all

powerful. We depend on Him for our existence and our sustenance. It's in

him we have existence. It's in him we live and move and have our

being. If you're in a spiritual famine, that you're all fault. According

to the silence, we're to be as well fed. Calves of the star.

God stays in the position of a generous giver. It's why God loves

a cheerful giver, because God is benevolent. He is a generous and cheerful

giver. He took care of the Israelites into wilderness. He took care of

the believers at Philippi, and he will take care of you. When Apostle

paulpend those words in Philippians four nineteen, but my God shallt apply all your

need, he was letting them know He's not only my God to supply my

need all these years in my ministry, but he's also your God, and

he will supply every need that you have. There's somebody in this building you're

offending God. There's somebody listening to this mess that you're offending God. God

gets you right to the point where he can use you, right to the

point where he can usher you, not push you into the promised Lamb.

God's not going to shove anybody into the blessing. God wants to usher you

into the Promised Lamb, and God can take care of you. This is

applicable to every child of God, including every believer, that is, except

that Jesus Christ as their Lord. In our golden text. The Lord told

Moses this, thou shalt see now whether my word will come to pass unto

thee or not. They needed to believe in Philippi. They needed to believe

when they were in the wilderness. You need to believe right now, and

God is going to supply all your need, whether that be a home,

whether that be a job, provisions, sustenance, whatever, that God's hand

is not too short. Some of you pulled the tape measure back in and

just said, there's no way that God's again could extend to me. God

had rained down the man out of heaven. He had parted the Red Sea

through rock. Was an abundant supply of water. What a source, What

a resource. Everywhere they went, this rock was present, and there was

plenty of water. And He poured down this meat upon them sermon after servant,

annoyed message after annoyed message, soul after soul. He supplied their needs

physically, he supplied their needs spiritually. He gave them an oracle, He

gave them a Moses, He gave them a deliverer, he gave them a

shepherd. How many of you know God gives his people those who really are

his people a shepherd. God gives his church apostles. I'm paraphrase preachers,

pastors, teachers, you say, I don't have any of that. You're

not where they're at, because God's people has them. And Amos Chatter number

eight and verse number eleven and twelve are co text tonight. One of them

said, behold the day's come. Saith the Lord God, that I will

send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor thirst

for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. And they shall

wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east.

They shall run to and fro seeking the word of the Lord, and shall

not find it. Brotheristereic would say, in these United States of America,

that won't come true, because he moved from Indiana to come where he felt

like he was hearing from God. Not that he wasn't hearing from God there,

but to hear his testimony. He did file a place where he could

hear from God. When I read the book of Amos, I see a

parallel between the conditions of Israel then and the condition of our country today.

A famine. A famine caused Abraham to leave Canaan the first time he was

searching for food. A famine brought Jacob to Egypt. A famine has come

in this land for the word of God and the preaching of God. But

God's hand is not right sure for all of those people that want to hear

the truth. Sister Working all them years, Sister Heaven, all them years,

Sister Walker, all the years, Sister plant, all the years.

God, we need a preacher that will preach righteousness and uphold truth, and

I shall give them pastors. God will give pastors according to his heart.

Well, why would I feed somewhere or attempt a pastor somewhere where God has

not assigned somebody to labor. Of course, there's going to be a famine

where there's no real seed being planted. Of course, when that's gonna bar

near week coming up, there's gonna be a famine in Bethlehem. And so

what they want to saying, Brother Gabriel, here's what they say. They

say, can't nobody live it anymore? Nobody lives it anymore. I wish

I could find a church where they still preach it by innis to be preached.

I wish I could find a church where everybody lived in practice what they

preached. What they say is it's out of my reach. I can't find

it. But just because they can't reach it doesn't mean that they couldn't get

in the will of God, and God reach it to them. The Bible

said that Ruth received of the hand of Boaz forged corn. He reached that

blessing to her when he reached below the bottom for this born right here,

who had been raised in church. And I knew to do good, and

I did not do it. And I want you all to know something.

Even though they are ignorant people in this world, is brother. Just he

comes to the piano, their ignorance is no longer in an excuse. God

has given every human being of each and every generation, every human being of

past, present, future generations of conscience. He has given them a measure

of faith. They know when their heart of hearts, even the one that

proclaims to be an atheist, knows in their heart of hearts there is a

God, and they know they are not God. They know that this universe

is under the control of some master mind. And they figure out real quickly

when they can't preach the cookie, drawing that there are some situations out of

their control. There's nobody getting free ride to heaven. You can only come

through Jesus, only through the blood. And I feel like I'm preaching somebody

to I that feels like they're gonna be pushed or shoved into the promise like

you deserve it or something. Right, Listen, just because God met with

you in a sacred time of prayer, he met with you at Sinai,

you entered a covenant with him, and it seems so beautiful and so sweet.

Everybody said, that's a beautiful thing. That's a precious promise. In

recent weeks, I've reminded us only a couple of guys made it after forty

years of God thinning it out. Only two made it because other hundreds of

thousands was constantly thinking about what they used to have. But Caleb and Joshua,

they were thinking about what I'm gonna have. Let's stand tonight. I

have delivered my burden. I feel relieved, and I will feel much better

as somebody tonight puts this grumbling and complaining and gridful behind you once and for

all. If you're going through a famine spiritually, it's not because you're out

of the will of God. Right here, right now. It's because you're

refusing to accept the will of God. And you know what happens if you're

at a church where they're not preaching the truth and they're not upholding righteousness,

You're gonna go through a famine eventually. You've heard Sis the Woop talk about

it. She said, I almost died spiritually just before Brother haw I got

here. She told me not many months ago. She said, I don't

know if I'd have made it, if you had to came spiritually. And

there's going to be somebody that says, no, it's just a whoop.

She'd have made it, she'd have found her way. There's gonna be many

people that thought they did everything they need to do to make it. They're

gonna think they do the right God their provider to protector. I got coveted.

I had a promise. But you know what, when food fails,

life fails eventually. I need to say that again. You just missed that

point. When food fails, life fails eventually, Brother Roup says, and

often we're well fed. Here to day, God stops feeding the pastor and

the teachers, and the pastor and the teachers stop feeding you. We're in

trouble. A spiritual famine does not have to be Diana at the fingertips of

God, doesn't have to be God's able to reach you and reach your need.

This is my last illustration. As long as God is trying to reach

you and you're backing up after while, God's gonna stop backing up. God's

gonna stop preaching. They said, all day long, I've stretch up my

hand onto a gain, say empty, I just felt conviction to reach somebody

right there. It ain't to God didn't reach It's not that God can't reach

it. Upon that cross, all of humanity was served notice by the King

of Glory. You're within my reach. His left hand went out war Zoner,

and his right hand went out, poor Zoner, representing it in that

reach, an infinite reach circle the globe. But Sister Wood there with those

that literally looked and declared him to be the Promise. They declared him to

be the son of God. But they didn't pray through it, They didn't

repent. Executioners had his life blood on their hands, and that blood didn't

change or save them. Just because the children of Visual have been brought out

of Egypt and been placed in the wilderness and we're headed in the right direction.

Didn't mean they would possess their promise. And I come to tell somebody

tonight, as happy as you've been about the promise, you can lose it.

If you're murmured and complaining and grumbling and gripping. I'll go ahead and

tell you this. God showed me you're going to lose it. But it

didn't that God didn't reach one more time tonight and say, my hands not

short, my arms not short. God said, I prove to you,

even though you don't deserve all that meat, I'm gonna prove to you,

you're gonna have met upon mean, upon me, upon me. And that's

what God's been doing. He's gave your message upon message upon message upon message.

I want us to bow our heads tonight. A lot of times we

do in general or a call. Is there somebody that would move into this

altar and say, you know, I realize God has provided for me,

and I want to acknowledge that I realize God has given me a promise.

How about somebody else besides this young man? Is there somebody else? There's

another young man, another young man, a sister too. Moving forward,

I realize what God's trying to do for me, for my family, for

my children, for me. Tonight I feel like it's a personal thing.

I feel God is doing something for somebody, and I want to come forward

and say God, I'm coming tonight to thank you for the present and thank

you for what lies ahead. Forget about what's behind, reach forth unto the

things that are before. Let's have a time of prayer here tonight. God

will reach way down for you. God's arm isn't twenty five inches long.

God can reach you and He can meet your needs. Can God reach my

father Cole? He can prove it to you if you'll be thankful. Can

God reach them where they're at? He con prove it to you if you'll

be thankful. Oh, I feel the hole of Goos turn his eyes.

What will it take for God to get you to move into a position where

God could bless you. You keep cursing the diet, blaming it on the

dot, the diet, the diet. Mm hmmm, Jesus, h m

hmm. In the seven reach down for me? All he had to read

way now for me. I was bod standing of God without God his song

w he rereads, had his name for me. In the scene Styn he

had to die. I was lo stay undown we have God. His son

went the scene and say a black sort as that's the street from He was

as good my savement melty great and his fad the same for me. He

had to read pray for me, and I was lord in love without God.

His son lady read down, he said, m I was need to

to spare when he came to be there, and he showed me that I

couldn't be free. Then he lifted my feet gave me gladness complete when he

reads down his hand for me. When the same he had to read a

way for me, I was lost without God who let me read all his

hands. Oh oh, In the same hen he had to read to play,

I was low without God. In the same restand God
