  34. I want to preach a message the Holy Goos titled low Down Own the Show.

  35. Now let's pray, Heavenly Father, we love and we praise you.

  36. We thank you for the opportunity to be at your house. Lord. We

  38. your presence so many times. I thank you for the way we felt your

  46. the church through this preach word, Lord, I pray that we would not

  47. be hearers only but doers of this world. God, we give you the

  48. praise of the honor and glory Jesus amail. While you're being seated, look

  49. at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, do you know the lowdown

  50. on the Showdow say I don't know, but I have a sneaky suspicion.

  51. Pastor is about to let us know. And you got that ride. The

  52. Holy Ghost put this upon my heart to preach to you all, bringing special

  53. attention to Matthew chapter number twelve and verses number thirty three through thirty five.

  54. Our text has found in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible, the

  55. Book of Matthew. Anyone who has attended or visited our church family here and

  56. has participated in our services, get heard me preach about the author of this

  57. book of the Bible. I heard Brother Jesse recently telling some that he has

  58. heard his pastor often speak fondly of Matthew. I don't know that he used

  59. those exact words, but I remember him saying something about you all have heard

  60. a lot about Matthew, and you have. He was the former tax collector

  61. turned disciple, an apostle of Jesus Christ. And this man had much to

  62. say about the life and ministry of the person he loved the most. That

  63. man whom he loved dearly and deeply was Jesus Christ, the son of the

  64. Living God. When he received his conversion, because of Jesus christ petition in

  65. him for salvation and a change of heart and lifestyle, this man gave everything

  66. to the Lord. It is evident that this man held nothing back. It

  67. is evident to us because he left his occupation, the place of his employment,

  68. and followed Jesus wholeheartedly. It is evident because he was willing to risk

  69. it all for a small return and being an eye and an ear witness to

  70. the wonderful things that our Lord's Savior, Jesus Christ would do within humanity during

  71. that period of time. We know that this man, after his conversion,

  72. he gave his personal testimony in his gospel. Other gospel writers have mentioned him.

  73. He was a very special disciple and follower of our Savior. This man

  74. wrote a book about his Savior. This man had a story to tell.

  75. Even though countless millions would have no desire whatsoever to read the writings of this

  76. story or to hear the stories that have been told in this man's gospel,

  77. he did not feel like his labor was in vain. In fact, he

  78. knew that because of the unctioning of the Holy Ghost of the way the Holy

  79. Ghost moved upon him, that his labor was not in vain. Many of

  80. you in this building tonight know that your labor is not in vain if you're

  81. doing something for the Lord. Now, if you're doing something for yourself,

  82. it could be that it will be said one day that their labor was in

  83. vain. But we know that this man's labor in putting pen to parchment and

  84. giving us this first book of the New Testament, that his labor was not

  85. in vain. I appreciate what I feel in this service tonight. I know

  86. that the spirit of God is recognizable to every person in this building. There

  87. is no doubt that this man will recognized something. When Jesus approached him and

  88. Jesus commanded him to follow him, he immediately got up from that tax collector's

  89. desk and he followed Jesus. And nowhere in the sacred writings do we pine

  90. where he ever stopped following Jesus. I want to point out to you there

  91. is no doubt this man had a good heart, no matter what people felt

  92. he looked like, no matter the position or the occupation that he had within

  93. the Roman government as a tax collector. He had a good heart. We

  94. read in our texts something about a good tree with good fruit, a corrupt

  95. tree with corrupt fruit. And this man, I would say, by perception

  96. of most would have been one that people would have said, this man is

  97. corrupt to his core. Mother, Nathaniel, I know that there are people

  98. in our community, people that you rubbed shoulders with on a daily basis.

  99. You assume that they are corrupt to their core, and you assume that there

  100. is no way in this world, in this life, or in the act

  101. of life, that they would be of any use to Jesus or in the

  102. ministry. You would assume, because of what you have seen, and because

  103. of your perception, that this person has no desire whatsoever for change in their

  104. life, that they are just content and complacent in their lifestyle. But as

  105. you read this testimony, you see that this man had a change to heart.

  106. This man had a desire for change. As to how I've heard of

  107. a lot of people speaking to ministers throughout the years and throughout the ages.

  108. They have spoke to people of authority, and they have said, I really

  109. desire to change. But I want to tell us here tonight that before someone

  110. can change someone's situation, someone must change themselves. Before someone can change their

  111. situation, someone must be willing to change the themselves. I'm not saying that

  112. they are the ones that bring change into their own life, but I am

  113. saying that they must want change to take place in their life. And so

  114. I want to say one month time, may I say, before someone's situation

  115. can change, self must change. If self doesn't change in their situation will

  116. not change. In this chapter we find the record of the one sin that

  117. the Bible says will not be forgiven. And this type of sin is committed

  118. by people that do not want to change. Now, before I go too

  119. far into this, I want to point out to you that the religious leaders

  120. of Jesus's day they had no plans and no desire to change. They did

  121. not want to change at all, life just as it was at that time.

  122. They liked their occupations, they liked their position, they like everything in

  123. as placer as it was. They were not open to change. It sounds

  124. like some people in this building tonight, doesn't it. They have not changed.

  125. They've had ample time to change. The holiness has dealt with the emor

  126. the Spirit of God has moved upon the ends of the church, and and

  127. God, through his great infer the wisdom and his plans, have loved to

  128. watch him individuals. He has unrolled blueprints of change for people in this building,

  129. but they, like her, the Pharisees seemed bent to watch damnation.

  130. You will remember that Judas are the apostle, the disciple, Oh Jesus Christ

  131. him this unwilling to change some of his views and his theology. He said

  132. in this chapter again we find that the sin is supposedly according to the Word

  133. of Come, and it is said the eye forgive noble sin, the unpardonable

  134. sin that a cheerma. I could not imagine somebody coming to that place where

  135. they did not care at all whether or not forgiveness was obtainable for them.

  136. I cannot imagine him reaching that such a place and a hardness of heart condition

  137. where they said, he, I am not interested at all in the change

  138. that the Lord has for me. Oh, come on now, it's in

  139. must them at thirty ward at thirty two. I remember here today I read

  140. that in the third chapter of Saint Mark's Gospel, and that I've bring some

  141. more context of regarding this sin, and those who committed had a real cap

  142. of her menial pastor preacher, app inst missionary. For nearly fifty years now

  143. I've heard it, they have debated all what he is this sin that a

  144. man can commit there? And God have no unshider, and so that makes

  145. you forge there for a such a sin apparentness. Some of these people who

  146. were religious, they had their long flowing roads. They stood in the public

  147. market place, and they preached so pretty. They had Abraham and David and

  148. so many great men of God as their ancestors, and they had so much

  149. to you because of of their position and poster of goody. But brother,

  150. then they committed the unpart of our sin. What were they doing? What

  151. were these religious readers doing? It was the most office of faine head to

  152. the Lord. Why would God say, did you ask me for forgiveness?

  153. Let me think about it. No, I'm not telling to forgive you for

  154. what you did. You see these religious people he had stayed here, got

  155. the Son of God. The second part of the training God here was possessed

  156. by Satan. Do you know what that means? I'm telling submimey in this

  157. feeling to my for youve to act like it's not God speaking to you through

  158. his word, through the errors, through the teacher, through the preacher,

  159. through the pastor you do not realize. Say what kind of sin man you

  160. are committing? Man, ho come on now, they look to Jesus,

  161. say, and they said, that's not a God. That right there was

  162. not for God. God was not in it. And they said that.

  163. Jesus said, Christ himself and is possessed by Satan. Do you know who

  164. in their being possessed by Satan? Here somebody that was close to Jesus,

  165. said, somebody that walked up with the other, a lady, somebody that

  166. was not here no money to tell, somebody that was condition and send our

  167. class to himself to do a coome work. He found himself. He possessed

  168. her by Lucifer himself. I'm telling somebody, honey, the sound of my

  169. voice say, you don't know what you're playing wall. You're not playing with

  170. pie, You're playing with hellp We do walk and the way God is gleanchul

  171. for you. And you say, I'm not so sure that's the worst of

  172. God. I'm not so sure that's the sphear of God. What do you

  173. think it is? Do you think the same thing. Care for the soul

  174. that is the worst of the devil? What do you think it is?

  175. Don't forget to pray for me. Remember, I'm sick, but I'm gonna

  176. preach this fat the sickness that is upon me. Religious people, religious people

  177. that could say, did he not walk up and down inside of our church?

  178. Did he not pass by us? Did we not census presence? Did

  179. we not know that he was there? Did we not feel that there was

  180. something about this man that was different? But some how Judas ended up possessed.

  181. The Antichrist himself will be possessed by Satan himself as well. How many

  182. people in this building have ever a witness the absence of someone possessed by an

  183. evil spirit? It is not a beautiful cipher, I want to say,

  184. it is not a pretty sight. It is unlikely that any of us are

  185. or anyone that we know, has ever witnessed to someone under the direct control

  186. of Satan himself. The Lord was not possessed by a devil. The Lord

  187. was not possessed by bells of God needs. My defoinition is the Lord of

  188. the flier. And you realize these are Hebrew men that are holding religious officers

  189. and doing ceremonial things to Jehovah. They're worshiping, they're raising their heads,

  190. they glorify their God. Okay, don't want anything you do in the spirit

  191. to teach them. So I text gave us the reason for that, because

  192. they like to the better good good. What's in it for me, I'll

  193. tell you what's in it for you? Absolutely nothing. We're in this world,

  194. in this life for him. That's what it's all about. You,

  195. about you, It's about here. Jesus said, what about means I need

  196. some attention in this life, describes, And the Pharisees and the Sagacenes will

  197. say, I need some attention in this life. And Jesus is telling you,

  198. I am not possessed by the spirit of belves above. I am not

  199. doing the wonderful miracles by the power of Belzebah. We all know it was

  200. not in the spirit a best above or by the spirit of one of the

  201. Stevens. When I read my Bible tells me that when Christ encountered evil and

  202. unclean spirits, they threw their host to the ground, and they stayed and

  203. plain there thou art Jesus Christ, the son of the living God when Belsavib

  204. and his Hitchman were manifesting themselves through leads It up to the era when the

  205. Son of God came to the Nember leads It. They whipped him. They're

  206. trusting down and they said, what are you doing here? Have you come

  207. and telling us up before our time? They who he was? That you

  208. may look how that creature. You may look her that walk her what a

  209. teacher and say, talk's not in it. And you may not pad in

  210. your teaching her or any mind you may put up to disregard it. But

  211. I want you to know you better be careful reaching that parture for that plfl

  212. who you say it's not for me. They've missed at her. Oh no,

  213. we have not missed at her, You miss parsel. She cannot presents

  214. your and committed the unborgilling myself. Your mother can cry and pray for your

  215. day or night, and it will be to know a hell shangle. The

  216. prophet could cry and pray for your soul taken night. Then the spirit of

  217. God is saying you don't need to have a spirit of broken the ship and

  218. a spirit of meeting the sup and beat yourself up over anymore Samuel, I

  219. haven't left her soul that our proved, not Martin from the upper and I

  220. tell somebody better. Oh, come on now. There was a Sunday going

  221. on this day, and in this checking they're going nothing. He found at

  222. least three compretations with Jesus. The religious leaders, they are immediately living in

  223. the saying, that's not a God, that's not in there, that's not

  224. for me. I tell you to Beta, they're unforgivable for that part of

  225. a seal. Huh wow, heaven they find you. Stand by and help

  226. the sword feeble sit there for body tonight. The Lord was not possessed by

  227. bills above. And there were religious people that were saying he was. There

  228. were religious leaders that were proclaiming he was. There were people that would say,

  229. I just washed deaf from my hands the blood of an atoning sacrifice.

  230. There were priests, there were Pharisees, there were Sadducees that was telling everybody,

  231. there's no way that's the spirit of God. There's no way that's the

  232. goodness and the grace of God. But when I read my Bible, you

  233. could ask the covernor, and you could ask the way fair man, and

  234. the stranger, and they would say things like brother LaRue has told me,

  235. there is no way the devil would be that good to anybody. I'm telling

  236. you. The devil does have confit and conflicting spirits. But anybody that is

  237. normal, anybody that is God feared, whether they're serving him or not,

  238. they can tell the difference between light and darkness. They can tell the difference

  239. between a clean and an unclean spirit. They can tell the difference between that

  240. is of cod and that that is of the devil. Should I keep preaching

  241. it or should I let study a house? I must play a little after

  242. nine point thirty. We've had a couple of great testimonies to night, and

  243. the spirit God is blessed her that I feel like preaching is somebody to night,

  244. so that you have a proper understanding. They could say you are demonically

  245. possessed. They can declare it. They can proclaim it to and they do

  246. that. I want you to know the Terrivil. He may not have known

  247. the Son of sunset a scheme, but he knew the God of Paul.

  248. And you're doing the servant of the Lord named Paul, and I know you,

  249. and you're in a god you are the servant of the NFL and you're

  250. not possessed the if you're living that and you want the propector and it sing

  251. and so that is not or that. I'll tell you what's of the devil.

  252. That's compromising. Amen. They're devils that witness Jesus while he was upon

  253. the earth as God incarnate, God in the flesh. They said, we

  254. know your identity, we know who you are. These wicked men were saying

  255. that it wasn't the Father doing the wonderful things through his son Jesus Christ.

  256. I don't believe that's of God. They'll say, that's speaking in tones,

  257. that worshiping the Lord in the heavenly language. I don't believe all of that

  258. is necessary. That's shouting, getting lost in the presence of the holy ghosts.

  259. They'll say, I'm not so sure that's of God. And before you

  260. know it, because it's lacking in their life before you, before the end

  261. of the day, you'll know they are saying, that is of the devil.

  262. It's unnecessary, it's not of God. God women here to answer.

  263. You see, the religious leaders, the scribes particularly, we're not giving God

  264. the glory to his name. And they were were busying himself with the task

  265. of making others do the same as them. They were not content to just

  266. say, I'm the pastor of this church, for example, and I know

  267. I've lost the narty I love to possessed by devil. But no, they

  268. want to preach to their children. They want to preach to their grand children.

  269. They want to preach to the members of that congregation until everybody discredits her

  270. that God is doing until everybody says he that is not Oh God, you

  271. know what they're doing when they do that, They're pulling away from God's glory.

  272. Oh yes, I'm gonna do that way down and the sun down tone.

  273. That is the unpardonable, unforgivable sin. It's worth somebody turn us a

  274. learning from God's glory to bring glory to their sapper. That's what these policies

  275. were doing. Because they know there's clitting us and there's pressive they were of

  276. Almighty God. They want to clue down what Jesus is doing. They they're

  277. doing so they remove its glory. That is, to commit the unpardonable sin.

  278. I've had people ask me for nearly eighteen years, what is the unforgivenment

  279. of unpardonable sin. What is it? People have committed it more than you

  280. recognize, people are about to commit it. People are closer to commitment than

  281. they realize. You wonder, while we're living in the age of Apostas,

  282. while we're living at the time of the great falling away because they downplayed the

  283. spirit of God. The same thing happened old Mount Carnle when Elijah got enough

  284. of it, and they went up to face off with the prophets of bel

  285. and the prophets of the Growth and with a haven Jesselbel whether Nathaniel, you

  286. remember the total of the sun of having of their prophets were there, and

  287. they were trying to distract the people from the true worship of Jehovah. And

  288. Elijah said, how long will you halt between two opinions? I want to

  289. show you how easy these people were trying to steal away from the glory of

  290. God and bring attention to themself. They created pre eminence, they created a

  291. position, and they posted them up next to an altar, and people looked

  292. up to them. People out of lives them and put themself in the stand.

  293. God, do you know one of the first connervatives of God, the

  294. old Huberty was there, sir, now shot put to no other concept before

  295. me. You better be careful arecting that im. It's a semper in the

  296. case of time, doing cansel no way, because you want to feel good

  297. about your semper. I feel good about your the seasons. You realize here

  298. in this twelfth chapter of Saint Matthew's gustav there's several confrontations or showdowns between christ

  299. and religious people. Oh no, oh, no, preacher, are you

  300. implied that in this day and alpha, there could be people that appear to

  301. be holding us and Pentecostal and righteousness that are accusing good, clean, living,

  302. pure, righteous holy saints are doing things of themself and of doing things

  303. in their own name. They're doing things of their own power and essence.

  304. They're saying God ain't in it. Do you all remember what I preached Sunday

  305. night? They didn't make it and they can't take it. Oh, but

  306. the gabble. They're not hesitating at all to say, I'm not so sure

  307. about that man of people. I'm not so sure about what God is doing

  308. over there in this country, or what God's doing in this statement. It's

  309. just a how long they don't realize how closer they are when they speak as

  310. the fields of God, the pinions of God, the work of God's hand.

  311. He's got to be so careful touching God, so knowing. And whether

  312. the city or a king or preaching how they poo, you want to be

  313. careful saying no, it's not a God, it's the Pharisees. It's not

  314. the demonically possessed people as of yet, it's the scribes, the addresses is

  315. having a showdown with Jesus. What about Elijah and their false prophets of bell,

  316. what about the prophets of the grove. They were trying to fashion an

  317. altar and trying to make things happen for themselves. And you know what,

  318. there was a showdown, And I want you to know the lowdown on that

  319. showdown is this God revealed himself as to whose side he was on. And

  320. Elijah said, when you see the God that answers by fire, react or

  321. respond to whatever sacrifice is being offered, then you will know the lowdown on

  322. the showdown. You don't have the results. You don't have the important facts

  323. and the details as to really who was a prophet of God, as to

  324. really who was operating as an oracle of God, as the really who really

  325. was a true ruin, really nay prophet of God. I think that we

  326. were the name prophets of God in the Bible. They were the greatest.

  327. I believe. We've find the name of Elijah at the top of the list,

  328. and there's meaning over eight hundred that was safe. He ain't tod he

  329. ain't nothing. When the power starts the power, who don't don't no more

  330. truth? No parly, look where to start the constep the sysm what the

  331. criticis live God, mister parises. It's the scribes, It's the ateses,

  332. It's the leaders within Judaism. It's the words taking the sacrificial does it's the

  333. words taking the sacrificial lamps from the people that's supposedly offering them up for the

  334. sins of the people. They're the words that's got a problem with Jesus.

  335. They've got a problem with Jesus. These two different sects of Jews. They

  336. call them up the children of God, the believers of Jehovah, Brother Gabriel.

  337. They're pooling God's glory away from God. Every time the Holy Ghost Hijacks's

  338. services. I throw my hands up and I say, it's all yours.

  339. It was never mind to start with, it will never be behind her.

  340. I almost still like I see a cloud in here right now as I say

  341. this. It's all to God's glory. It's all because of common in.

  342. These Pharisees were upset because of an asservant leadership of Jesus practice. They were

  343. upset that because of what Jesus was doing, they would jell Us say,

  344. because of his popularity, They would tell usself, because of his tile,

  345. come on, now he have more the a fam of codliness say behind the

  346. power, and the same thing goes say for the lights of her, and

  347. the same thing upon her to apostle Paul. They had time, not only

  348. tennis Trae said he through excellent, well spunken words, or they have tendistrate

  349. said a power. Oh God, listen, sir, listen. Look,

  350. you've gotta be careful what he speaking. Look just not holding us people.

  351. It does not go to housetaf tea. I'm jealous about what God's doing for

  352. them, so I will speak against them. You gotta be careful. You've

  353. got to commit the uncarnable sin when you start taking mad actions through jealous spirits.

  354. And to the spirit of Indi through ulterior motives. So you who wants

  355. prover sided with the prophets. Now you're looking through the green eye of India

  356. a David and you're jealous. Then you're raging, and you set a trap

  357. for David. And then this trunk checker saying no to he's goughful. We

  358. find several traps of being laid for Thy Lord Taesus. The Pharisees set the

  359. trap for the Son of God. The all see and I help God saw

  360. them behind closed doors, heard them over their dinner table as they manipulated and

  361. deceived. Their friend had stretched the truth concerned their things, and so discord

  362. among the brethren. The Pharisees had set a trap for the Son of God.

  363. And it appears that the Lord did not flinch when they came at him.

  364. When they attracted to our Lord healing the man's withered hand on the Sabbath

  365. day, our Lord did not flinch, nor did he bat that eye.

  366. Oh come on, now, I'm telling you God is not intimidated in the

  367. least unattactants of Jesus on discoun I'm gonna say, of God's expense, could

  368. you imagine that brother Jesse, a man came to church simply to get help,

  369. holiness of and Acostom preachers, and people listen to me as I preach.

  370. The man came to church to get help in the church, and the

  371. ministry teams and the ministry programs were failing him. And while Jesus sit there,

  372. he said, sir, we're to stand up, and went to stretch

  373. out with a head and when to put it out there? And the Pharisees

  374. are standing over there. They have set a trap for him, and they're

  375. gonna find fault for him. Who is the Lord of the Sabbath healing on

  376. the Sabbath day. A handful of times in that chapter we find Christ being

  377. confronted by the hypocrital, hypocritical Pharisees. And I called them hypocritical Pharisees here

  378. in my notes, But when I read our golden text tonight, we find

  379. out what Jesus called it. He wasn't nearly so choice in his selection of

  380. words, so he called him generation have vicers. Why did the Pharisees reject

  381. to the fact that Jesus Christ was the son of God? Why did he

  382. come into his own there and his own refusal to receive him. What is

  383. the answer. Why are people today refuse him to accept Jesus? Why are

  384. they rejected him? Why are they not con saved by the message when you

  385. come to get the answer there Christy, Oh, come on, I'll be

  386. pleased with him. I tell you one reason why I feel like that they

  387. rejected him. The Pharisees rejected him because they could not stand her his approved

  388. to They could not stand he his authority. They did not like that the

  389. way people had approved of him, because they have not approved of it.

  390. Does not matter whether you grandsual we talk from sitting here or not. Tell

  391. there's some doctor signs their name and the bottom the men play. If God

  392. tells you you don't need the approval, time there's somebody else I sent this

  393. los me we need approvement. We sing, I'm telling you what God sent

  394. you want to you don't need the approval in affirmation? What a positive no

  395. one? If you want to get a hold of that tonight, Amen,

  396. you just say, I know I don't God, I don't God sitting here.

  397. I know I'm here because God told me to be here, and I

  398. don't need approval for nobody. There's some of the struggling at times because you

  399. need affirmation or approval Jesus soon is you don't have to have. They're truthful.

  400. You remember it was said it's better for us to obey God instead of

  401. over and men. If you were given a chance to pluck all of these

  402. Pharisees and Sadducees and scribes and Judas and so many others that were jealous and

  403. envious of Jesus, and you could pull them out of hell and ask him

  404. question this question, why couldn't you stand it? Sister? And I don't

  405. know why they couldn't stand in fact, at the Son of God, the

  406. one that held their very breath in his hand, the one that breathed it

  407. to them, the very breath of life, the one that could heal their

  408. spirit, the one that could heal their body, and he was doing it

  409. for people, and all the while he was doing it for people, for

  410. others, and we're rejecting him. If you could pluck them out of hell

  411. and ask him this question, why couldn't you stand it? What would they

  412. say? I felt out the spirit of God dealt with me today to tell

  413. you. This might be an answer. They would say, I couldn't stand

  414. it. I was unable to tolerate him. I disliked him extremely. I

  415. didn't like how we act with the crowd and the congregations. I just simply

  416. did not want to be around himself familiar. That's it. To listen to

  417. what Child of the Leather wrote down. These are the words of child of

  418. blood. The lower is this child eleventh and forty eight is said, if

  419. we let him this alone, all men were believe on him, and the

  420. Romans shall come and take away our placer. And they said, that's the

  421. real reason why they were check to him and wanted his ministry to Caesar,

  422. and wanted to inter his life up, because they said, if he remains

  423. at least all alive, we're gonna come believe it. So it's because he's

  424. such a wonderful person. He's such ah. But the passing a sword be

  425. such a wonderful god. Then the high priest. But there, you know,

  426. the world was special privileges. The one that could go into our place,

  427. the one that could go to the holy place, none other than the

  428. infamous victorious Compass. Compash said, you don't know anything about the situation.

  429. You just said that everybody will end up believing in him, and compass Is

  430. said, you don't know anything. Boys. He begins to prophesy concerning the

  431. death of Jesus, and he said he must die for the nation. When

  432. he's really saying, Jeremiah, he is, we must kill the meek holy

  433. who lamb, so that we could steal, have a poopit to preach him.

  434. We must steal have all respective persistence and places or on the spirited.

  435. All the skeletape say that's not must. In the hell with our calls,

  436. I said, they indi hella without all there was the rais a port.

  437. Why was setting the trap for the son of God? Why you said the

  438. trap for gain? And so on? Because of indigoing you end the woman

  439. preachings with into the custom churches. The pool pics on throughout America. Pastors

  440. of homeless, churches, of Angelis, of all movements and affiliations. You

  441. better be careful speaking against the work of God. You can backslide in your

  442. heart and can look over to a familiar spirit and all you're gonna be.

  443. He's trying to disturb other God fearing me in it. She used to call

  444. brother and saw Wing in the wonder told him. Brother. You can say

  445. it's because gameel he's trying to take the talk, but the real reason is,

  446. you know, you get somebody, God, you know what you had

  447. new foolhead talking today. I'm a feeling that Prinson. I a'm fenna sit

  448. right now. They can't stand it. They can't stand it. Whenever Jesus

  449. begins to reveal the secrets and the sins, the High Priest spoke of a

  450. sent you all don't know anything. He must die for the nation, and

  451. he must be done away with from that day forth. They said, they

  452. took counsel together for to put him to death, not putting him away proudly,

  453. not putting him away in a prison house, but to execute him.

  454. You know why they had to execute him because they know he's gonna walk out

  455. of that prison, because there's gonna be people break him out of jail,

  456. because there's gonna be people protested after while. Oh, come on, the

  457. best thing for him to do, it's just die. The best thing for

  458. that pastor and his ministry to do, it's just die. It's the best

  459. that we just fellowship them. It's best that we have nothing to do with

  460. them. It's just that they just do away. Don't come on now,

  461. Wait a minute, mister Pharisee, you coundnot stand the Son of God have

  462. been here in your misty? Why do you perceive him as a threat and

  463. not a help? Why do you see Jesus, mister Pharisee and mister Sadducee

  464. as a threat and not a help? You see his presence as a curse

  465. and not a blissen you ever seen that before? That's what Saul felt towards

  466. David. I've got David right here, but his presence is a threat,

  467. but it was actually meant to be a help. Paranoid is a serious thing,

  468. and most of the time paranoia comes upon somebody because of a devil.

  469. Now I heard think it's right there. Neither the Pharisee or King Saw had

  470. said to the help they were being offered. Now, I'll tell you if

  471. we're talking again about the unforgivable sin and the unpardonable sin, the lowdown on

  472. the showdown God and you. We've read about the Pharisees and Jesus multiple confrontations.

  473. In this chapter. We talked about Elijah and the false prophets, the

  474. lowdown, hold a showdown. Now what about you, sir, What about

  475. you, ma'am. Those of you that are listening right now, those of

  476. you that are here right now, what about it? Divide assistance and divine

  477. presence is here to help you, and you're saying, Hey, that's not

  478. for me. Listen. Anytime God speaks, he's speaking for right now.

  479. If you ask, whether it's your pastor or not, tells you. You

  480. tell him when you're coming and going. When your employer says you clock in

  481. and you clocked out, you send a textas you don't send a text.

  482. I mean, I'm just telling you when you get to the place where divine

  483. assistance cannot help you, the divine presence and the grace of God cannot assist

  484. you. Emptying this soul begin to lose is not for God even gonna lose

  485. his love for David. The very Roman streak between him and the chapel of

  486. the Inny, his old armors there her soul. Wat's call in your heart,

  487. it's heart trouble. We run it here tonight. A man out of

  488. the good treasures on his heart being a co contains and an evil man,

  489. and the evil treasure being apart for evil things. I'm trying to tell you

  490. something. When they try to tell know what God is through it, and

  491. when they try to act like God, it's not in the marker they I

  492. pretend luck God's man is distant. They are closer to stealing the glory of

  493. work for God, and they're close to committing the unforgiveable sin. I mean,

  494. think about it. I'm just trying to preach what God should be in

  495. a scription. I have an idea how you can get yourself in a situation

  496. where you reprobate. I ain't Saul. Why didn't he repent? We've all

  497. heard him say he saw he repented, carefully, sought God with tears,

  498. but he could fire repentance. Saul, he just went to a witch's house

  499. instead of going to the preacher's house. I don't want to hear from the

  500. preacher, but I don't want to go through proper channels and try for authority.

  501. There's some of you in this building. You don't want to go through

  502. proper channels and proper authority. Somebody ringing that bell real loud for me right

  503. here? Huh? Should I keep preaching or should I go to the house.

  504. Saul had lost his love for God. He lost his love for God's

  505. House and lost his love for God's Man, all because he wanted the kingdom

  506. for himself. He wanted power for himself, he wanted to pray for himself,

  507. glory for himself. Thank on this so God man, human man.

  508. When they said David has slammed his tens of thousands and solved only his thousands,

  509. I've told him how the boys before this is not a competition. But

  510. I hope you guys with more souls for Jesus than I do. I've told

  511. him how a boys before this to what is supposed to be. You're supposed

  512. to build on the foundation, and you're supposed to grow. You're not supposed

  513. to deteriorate. You're supposed to material lies. You're supposed to get bigger and

  514. bigger and ultimo. David didn't have a problem with soliv and building with Tavern

  515. Decker Damon didn't have a problem with Solivon doing wonderful. Thanks David laid up

  516. in store for Solivon. What is your problem? Why, o, liar?

  517. You won't praise? Why oh why you won't grow? You want to

  518. be hunker down over there after you've walked along kind of stop and saying,

  519. God, the reason why live, my son, the reason I bring is

  520. because you. It's all for you. That's why them listen here we live

  521. and move and have I been. Both parties had major of heart issues.

  522. Song and the Pharisees had lost their love for God. Soul was concerned about

  523. his kingdom. Judas was concerned about his kingdom. You don't have to have

  524. the riches of Elon Mousker, some wealthy business man. You don't have to

  525. have the position of some dictator world leader. All you have to do is

  526. just have your little self and the little more pitiful thrown room of your little

  527. old pitiful heart. And that the offensive to God, because all souls beloved

  528. to God. You don't have to have billions of dollars in the bank that

  529. you defrauded from people of God. You can have peanuts and have a gallon

  530. of gas in your tank and still be an idol of your shelf. In

  531. between you and God. I feel the Holy ghost through this place. He

  532. was so worried about what others is all of him? What do others think

  533. of me? Said Confas, What are others thinking of us? We're standing

  534. outside and we're praying. That's what Jesus said. You know, they standing

  535. over there on the corner and they praying. They put forth this good show.

  536. I've told Bethel for years. I said, when the Holy ghosts gets

  537. you to move it, now, don't you get louder in the flesh,

  538. just so you can be heard. If somebody pulls out their video camera and

  539. get just a little clip, I know, being on videos here, but

  540. they get a little clip and you see them pull out, and all of

  541. a sudden, you start going, Hey, that's the other devil, because

  542. God is the one that should be getting glory. You know whether or not

  543. you're tongue talking in the spirit or not. You know whether or not the

  544. Spirit of God has given an unction. I can say and manual will Hey,

  545. I know what that means, but I'm not faiding to be speaking in

  546. tongue. I can say Messiah because he is Messiah, but I'm not saying

  547. it to make somebody think I'd speaking in tough I don't know where all of

  548. this is coming from. I'm just telling you we need to forget about our

  549. little old self and we need to concentrate on God. Hey, I'm not

  550. on the devil right now because I'm testising somebody the spirit. This ain't not

  551. the spirit of battles of God. They looked at Jesus Christ, they said,

  552. he's possessed with the spirit of battles of God. Who posessed thin'tsucked out

  553. if they did that to Jesus. Let's say the pastor's got the spirit of

  554. the dead, and he'll not stay with the rock up. This ain't up

  555. with the devil. You would lean up the struckle with that right. The

  556. Pharisees prayed outside so that others could hear them. They enjoyed others seeing them.

  557. They're hearing them. Jesus condemned them because of the corruption of their heart.

  558. Now, John chapter number eight, verse number forty two, Jesus said

  559. into them, if God were your father, you would love me for our

  560. proceeding forth. And came from God. Neither came out of myself, but

  561. He sent me. Listen, you didn't send yourself. You didn't save yourself,

  562. you didn't call yourself. I'm gonna say the same thing about myself.

  563. I didn't send myself to LaBelle, Florida. There was a mighty man.

  564. That's the station and evidence that it was the will of God. Did I

  565. be here, because there was some that did not feel like I was to

  566. be here. They felt like I was to be somewhere else. And there's

  567. some that still feel like I'm not supposed to be here. I was supposed

  568. to be somewhere else. Jesus said, I did not come to myself,

  569. but he sent me if he'd got a problem with me preaching the pastor and

  570. label learned and some my leafs. Why don't you call my bass? And

  571. I asked him why he sent me here? In the forty fourth verse of

  572. Matthew chapter number twelve, which is our host chapter tonight, that host our

  573. golden text, Jesus labeled people. How many as you know preachers more they

  574. won't label sin, but Jesus labeled them. I found seven labels right there,

  575. just a few verses. He said, you're the devil's children. He

  576. said you're as lustful as he is. He said you're as murderous as he

  577. is. He said you don't like the truth, you speak lies, you're

  578. ownbelievers. And again he said I'm a god, you're not a god.

  579. Right, I feel I preach in another thirty minutes. It's not because I

  580. lot being heard it's because of what I feel in my soul now tonight you've

  581. got the low down over the showdown. What exactly was going on out Carmel,

  582. What exactly was going on here in this confrontation of showdown between Jesus and

  583. the Pharisees. And you got all of the truth, facts and the relevant

  584. information about something going over between somebody in this building tonight. It's not your

  585. parents' faul, it's not your preacher's fault. Come low on the showdown is

  586. you're your own God. And I'm tell her you just for that side.

  587. We've all heard of how bosses have confronted employees who needed to be confronted.

  588. We've heard about how parents have confronted children who needed to be confronted. I'm

  589. a parent, I've had to confront my children before, and there have been

  590. showdowns before. And you know what, there's two sides to ever story.

  591. But when you have four or five eye and ear witnesses to one side of

  592. the story and the other side's got one witness, Jesus said, and these

  593. are not my words, these are the words of Jesus. When you're in

  594. that situation and you've got two or three witnesses that are testified as saying no,

  595. this is the way it went. That is the way it went,

  596. and that's what the judicial system of America still holds. Two. I want

  597. to summon somebody to the witness stand right now, and we can shake our

  598. head all we want to and declare the victimization of somebody else. Hey,

  599. listen, Jezabel rose up to try to help them prophets of the grove and

  600. the prophets of bel But you know a to Elijah had gotten rid of them.

  601. What did the Bible said he did to them? Huh? He killed

  602. him. Don't you think his arm was hurting from that much of a massacre

  603. and that much of a slaughter because there were false witnesses declaring this to be

  604. a God, this to be of the Lord. Hey, I'm telling you

  605. what. Old Jezabel rose up and she said, no, Elijah, I'm

  606. gonna have your head by this time tomorrow. And if God doesn't allow it,

  607. I'm telling him as well, just spark me off as dead. I'm

  608. paraphraise it. She was some man, she's boud God's man, she's mad

  609. at God, just running off at the mouth. Better, just said,

  610. but to low down on the Showdown, John opened up to us the reason

  611. for why they were doing that. God knows the reason why you don't want

  612. that treat, you to go treat for that other brother. God knows the

  613. reason why you got on your phone and called all their preachers. You told

  614. that liar on your brother. And if they only got to load down on

  615. the Showdown, and if they only got the important facts of the details,

  616. they'd have no confidence that you would all serve because you've been a busy body

  617. calling all of them people across the country this same face. You're just as

  618. murderous as your father, the devil. You're just as much a liar as

  619. your father the devil. You hate truth as much as your father the devil

  620. hates true. And I want you want to know people are a whole lot

  621. closer to committing unpardonable sin and unforgivable sin, and they realize and rather just

  622. that challenges me. That lets me know when Moses stands up, when my

  623. pastor and my preachers, and my teachers and my owners, they stand up

  624. and they pull from a soul, and I realize they're just busts that God

  625. has use it. And I realize they're not just occupation, occupying space and

  626. time, and God's just using them as his oracle. It makes me just

  627. want to fall on my face and say, God, I ain't got no

  628. time for a self temple right here. I ain't got no time to walk

  629. against it, kick against it. The ground opened up and devoured those that

  630. came against Moses. There's somebody tonight, hain't in over Hell on a thread.

  631. In fact, you're so close today when the emergency responds vehicle about ran

  632. me off the road trying to get to somebody. I asked, God,

  633. is it do it's? How close you there? Toll? Y'all need to

  634. think about what I preached about tonight. In seventeen eighteen years of ministry,

  635. I never talked about arguable and I forgive. So I talked to Night about

  636. Samuel crying and weaken to a side to her until God had to say,

  637. stop waste and time. And there's a self righteous hypocrite here any less.

  638. God, training for souls has never wasted time. I love training for souls.

  639. I was up this morning in six and trade till seven to be more

  640. accurate, five fifty nine to six fifty nine. At the very moment I

  641. got down on my knees as lived by the Lord to trade. Brother Thomas

  642. Sterre texts me said, Pasture, I'm throwing the presers and the hole of

  643. us, I said, so am I, And I was search of my

  644. soul? What't mean that? And I've had a message to preach tonight for

  645. a while and I will be preaching him. But today y'all got to be

  646. the women about to low down on the showdown. If your parents had to

  647. have conflict with you, you could contact whatever you want to and you will

  648. bind and torment it and leave a web, and you could throw a smoke

  649. string out there all you want, But you don't realize how close you wanted

  650. to unforgivable and no party will see them. When I came down here,

  651. brother Wooton and sister Woton admitted to me, not in a glorifying way,

  652. in an embarrassed way. They said, we're not where we need to be.

  653. Is you preached us and get us where we need to be. Brother

  654. Clatt came to me that he said, I admit I need help. They

  655. wanted help. That's why they progressed, That's why they advanced. When sister

  656. Cheryl came in here her brother Dwaynan were not even married, they were living

  657. together, but they came in and I feared God got a hold of them.

  658. Y'all remember how it started off. You want your situation to change,

  659. but you must first change yourself. Self has to change before your situation changes.

  660. That night, brother Gabbil come slide in through the glass doors and hit

  661. the platform, and train said, who is this man? That says?

  662. A man God have been working over a couple of years. He's having church

  663. at his house. And he realized, and he says these words. I

  664. realized I wouldn't get what I needed at home. But there's young men and

  665. young women listening tonight, and some baby in this building. Every time God

  666. deals with you, you stiff armed God. That's what the Pharisees did.

  667. Covin Tyler. Jesus was coming to help them. The Son of God,

  668. Jesus kept making appearances. There's three or four confrontations or showdowns between Jesus and

  669. Pharisees in number one chapter. It is recorded and right now to think that

  670. I have felt in this service that you haven't humbled yourself the low down on

  671. the showdown, No may maintain you really what's going on. You don't have

  672. all of your important facts. We don't have all of your important details.

  673. And that's what Beloved John gave us. He said they were afraid if everybody

  674. would believe them. You knows it. That's something to think that they didn't

  675. want everybody that needed help to get it because they wanted to stay in their

  676. positions. Brother Nathaniel, I feel this to know, before your situation changes,

  677. you must change yourself. And again I will remind you of our text.

  678. It said a good tree, we'll bring forth a good fruit, and

  679. an evil tree evil free. It's a heart is shoe, that's what happened

  680. to King saw a hearty shoot. I want us to stand. If we

  681. can good, we can bow our heads right now, close our eyes,

  682. Brother Jesse, no singing and planning, or I used to give care of

  683. everybody in the building a chance to search your soul. Work up to old

  684. salvation. The feard triveling the spokespring isn't going to work well. Sister Woot

  685. and this and Sister howell Is and brother Jacob this and Brother Jacob. That

  686. oh really sounds like the finger point that Judas, doesn't it? Don't miss

  687. the point. And missing the point, you missed the power. Remember that

  688. warning. Remember that message, Brother Nathaniel, in your office. There's a

  689. sign that I had made years ago. Could you get it for me?

  690. I preached a seven years ago Chile of rowing with Judas. Judas is the

  691. one that paying himself in that box. Nobody showed you into that box the

  692. lowdown on a showdown. I had a conflict with this one. I had

  693. a conflict with these church people. I had a conflict with Jesus. I

  694. had to conflict with the pastors. I had a conflict. No what it

  695. was. You didn't want to do what you were told to do, and

  696. you were rebellious and stubborn, and you resisted authority and refused to go through

  697. proper channels. And I want everybody to look ahead, just for a moment

  698. and look at this label. If somebody does it, he this message this,

  699. you have opened yourself to demonic possession this night, I know how God

  700. dealt will. The frightening thing of this is the way the Holygos typically ars

  701. up in here and helps people to pray and to intercede. But for over

  702. twelve months the Lord has said sleep be honest with me. And what I'm

  703. seen is as Samuel was told, we no more. I'm serving notice ton

  704. on somebody in this building. That demonic possession is as to that happened to

  705. do this, that happened to the Pharisees. They screamed, crucify him.

  706. You know how they could do that through demonic Now, I would hit this

  707. altar and I would pray, and I would pray as David said, take

  708. not your holy spirit from me, and I would submit to the spiritual authority

  709. of the Holy ghost. Is there two or three? There's one? Is

  710. there somebody else tonight? Somebody else tonight. There's a couple more coming forward.

  711. If you just want to submit to the Lord tonight, I would see.

  712. Yeah, yeah, the load down on the showdown to be saved.

  713. They had a chance. It wasn't that. My spirit wasn't there. Jesus

  714. will be the one speaking during that trial. They said, I did everything

  715. to to help them. I sent Aliud to the call. I gave Iris

  716. a message to give out. I gave the thing your tom bit purple I

  717. poured out upon my features, and they preach young and older live. I

  718. sent an angels. After anything h from that day, work they took counsel

  719. together or to put him to keep dead. Don't crucify Jesus, divide.

  720. Assistance is present to him. You know you do good. You can do

  721. it. You're listening. You're here, a couple of hours drive, an

  722. hour drive, three hour drive system. How I did it for six years,

  723. the six little kids. You know what you need. Don't tell God

  724. know when God say to it. The true facts are relevant information about something's

  725. about the kind of important patents. Jesus so healthier tonight. What happened to

  726. him? What happened to him? What happened? What happened? You've been

  727. pulling God's glory away from him. He's not pleased with it. You've made

  728. love of what the Lord has been doing. The Pharisees accuse Jesus again to

  729. this about elzebrad m. What they did was most offensive to the boy.

  730. They excused Jesus of being possessed by Satan. You can't accuse the Church of

  731. opering and self or three Satan. This is God trying to help him.

  732. Until what I think of because Jesus ours there's a whole lot of boys to

  733. midy possession God hard I think can realize. That's why the brain falling away

  734. has been taken place for years. They don't want to be telling God.

  735. In their knowledge, God gives them up, gives them over. It's between

  736. you and God right now to he's it's surrender with teachers lived to be a

  737. change yourself between you and God. Now that's how you want it. For

  738. over a year, he's been pulling for you. If he's used his people,

  739. there's been love, there's been compassion. Jesus walked up and down their

  740. city streets and they rejected. It's the time of the crucifixion. Now it's

  741. Jesus of aratus. You didn't reach out to everybody reached to you, and

  742. now it's time for you. This is the low bell on the shoulder.

  743. He had rejected him time and again, and now it's time for your help.

  744. Understing, it's not that God has given up on you. Who's been

  745. pulling for months. Since you've given up on God, I've seen as people

  746. coming to go, well, try some helper for six months, twelve months.

  747. It's always the church's fault. It's always the pastor's fault because they will

  748. be resu it. When he would receive Jesus. They rejected him. Could

  749. it have been that God's spirit no longer strove for them? God said,

  750. my spirit shall not always struggle. Man. That's what God's servant notice to

  751. you to not concern do you your own woman ship and thing like you want?

  752. I would do like? They even say, please don't take your spirit,

  753. O Lord please. Yes, it is necessary to come back from the

  754. name the world to be suffered. Yes, it is necessary to get away

  755. from the copers. Yes, it is necessary to go the extra mile.

  756. Yes it is h m hmm. Again, I want to say the true

  757. facts and the relevant information about this is you have projected God for heights.

  758. You have of the truth and the voice of reasoning for months, and now

  759. God has continuing with you and no one of the showdown. As you have

  760. kicked against the truths, you have followed against there I know I feel it

  761. up your eyes and a whole first while the Lord is being the one more

  762. time, and I'll go a hundred house crucified, experienced, stubborn and skin

  763. the jealousy strives is crucifi ll the shop I have you bin sorry about the

  764. road, the wall, not that I can not say I am bad Nam
