-
I want to preach a message the Holy Goos titled low Down Own the Show.
-
Now let's pray, Heavenly Father, we love and we praise you.
-
We thank you for the opportunity to be at your house. Lord. We
-
do believe this to be a place that you occupied, for we have felt
-
your presence so many times. I thank you for the way we felt your
-
presence. And Sister how let the congregational singing a Sister Hannah sing that special

I pray that you would have known this, thy servant, and set it
-
guard at my mouth, and help me to say the things that you would
-
have me to say, nothing more or less, and nought the years of
-
this thy people, that they might hear what it is the spirits saith unto
-
the church through this preach word, Lord, I pray that we would not
-
be hearers only but doers of this world. God, we give you the
-
praise of the honor and glory Jesus amail. While you're being seated, look
-
at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, do you know the lowdown
-
on the Showdow say I don't know, but I have a sneaky suspicion.
-
Pastor is about to let us know. And you got that ride. The
-
Holy Ghost put this upon my heart to preach to you all, bringing special
-
attention to Matthew chapter number twelve and verses number thirty three through thirty five.
-
Our text has found in a New Testament book of the Holy Bible, the
-
Book of Matthew. Anyone who has attended or visited our church family here and
-
has participated in our services, get heard me preach about the author of this
-
book of the Bible. I heard Brother Jesse recently telling some that he has
-
heard his pastor often speak fondly of Matthew. I don't know that he used
-
those exact words, but I remember him saying something about you all have heard
-
a lot about Matthew, and you have. He was the former tax collector
-
turned disciple, an apostle of Jesus Christ. And this man had much to
-
say about the life and ministry of the person he loved the most. That
-
man whom he loved dearly and deeply was Jesus Christ, the son of the
-
Living God. When he received his conversion, because of Jesus christ petition in
-
him for salvation and a change of heart and lifestyle, this man gave everything
-
to the Lord. It is evident that this man held nothing back. It
-
is evident to us because he left his occupation, the place of his employment,
-
and followed Jesus wholeheartedly. It is evident because he was willing to risk
-
it all for a small return and being an eye and an ear witness to
-
the wonderful things that our Lord's Savior, Jesus Christ would do within humanity during
-
that period of time. We know that this man, after his conversion,
-
he gave his personal testimony in his gospel. Other gospel writers have mentioned him.
-
He was a very special disciple and follower of our Savior. This man
-
wrote a book about his Savior. This man had a story to tell.
-
Even though countless millions would have no desire whatsoever to read the writings of this
-
story or to hear the stories that have been told in this man's gospel,
-
he did not feel like his labor was in vain. In fact, he
-
knew that because of the unctioning of the Holy Ghost of the way the Holy
-
Ghost moved upon him, that his labor was not in vain. Many of
-
you in this building tonight know that your labor is not in vain if you're
-
doing something for the Lord. Now, if you're doing something for yourself,
-
it could be that it will be said one day that their labor was in
-
vain. But we know that this man's labor in putting pen to parchment and
-
giving us this first book of the New Testament, that his labor was not
-
in vain. I appreciate what I feel in this service tonight. I know
-
that the spirit of God is recognizable to every person in this building. There
-
is no doubt that this man will recognized something. When Jesus approached him and
-
Jesus commanded him to follow him, he immediately got up from that tax collector's
-
desk and he followed Jesus. And nowhere in the sacred writings do we pine
-
where he ever stopped following Jesus. I want to point out to you there
-
is no doubt this man had a good heart, no matter what people felt
-
he looked like, no matter the position or the occupation that he had within
-
the Roman government as a tax collector. He had a good heart. We
-
read in our texts something about a good tree with good fruit, a corrupt
-
tree with corrupt fruit. And this man, I would say, by perception
-
of most would have been one that people would have said, this man is
-
corrupt to his core. Mother, Nathaniel, I know that there are people
-
in our community, people that you rubbed shoulders with on a daily basis.
-
You assume that they are corrupt to their core, and you assume that there
-
is no way in this world, in this life, or in the act
-
of life, that they would be of any use to Jesus or in the
-
ministry. You would assume, because of what you have seen, and because
-
of your perception, that this person has no desire whatsoever for change in their
-
life, that they are just content and complacent in their lifestyle. But as
-
you read this testimony, you see that this man had a change to heart.
-
This man had a desire for change. As to how I've heard of
-
a lot of people speaking to ministers throughout the years and throughout the ages.
-
They have spoke to people of authority, and they have said, I really
-
desire to change. But I want to tell us here tonight that before someone
-
can change someone's situation, someone must change themselves. Before someone can change their
-
situation, someone must be willing to change the themselves. I'm not saying that
-
they are the ones that bring change into their own life, but I am
-
saying that they must want change to take place in their life. And so
-
I want to say one month time, may I say, before someone's situation
-
can change, self must change. If self doesn't change in their situation will
-
not change. In this chapter we find the record of the one sin that
-
the Bible says will not be forgiven. And this type of sin is committed
-
by people that do not want to change. Now, before I go too
-
far into this, I want to point out to you that the religious leaders
-
of Jesus's day they had no plans and no desire to change. They did
-
not want to change at all, life just as it was at that time.
-
They liked their occupations, they liked their position, they like everything in
-
as placer as it was. They were not open to change. It sounds
-
like some people in this building tonight, doesn't it. They have not changed.
-
They've had ample time to change. The holiness has dealt with the emor
-
the Spirit of God has moved upon the ends of the church, and and
-
God, through his great infer the wisdom and his plans, have loved to
-
watch him individuals. He has unrolled blueprints of change for people in this building,
-
but they, like her, the Pharisees seemed bent to watch damnation.
-
You will remember that Judas are the apostle, the disciple, Oh Jesus Christ
-
him this unwilling to change some of his views and his theology. He said
-
in this chapter again we find that the sin is supposedly according to the Word
-
of Come, and it is said the eye forgive noble sin, the unpardonable
-
sin that a cheerma. I could not imagine somebody coming to that place where
-
they did not care at all whether or not forgiveness was obtainable for them.
-
I cannot imagine him reaching that such a place and a hardness of heart condition
-
where they said, he, I am not interested at all in the change
-
that the Lord has for me. Oh, come on now, it's in
-
must them at thirty ward at thirty two. I remember here today I read
-
that in the third chapter of Saint Mark's Gospel, and that I've bring some
-
more context of regarding this sin, and those who committed had a real cap
-
of her menial pastor preacher, app inst missionary. For nearly fifty years now
-
I've heard it, they have debated all what he is this sin that a
-
man can commit there? And God have no unshider, and so that makes
-
you forge there for a such a sin apparentness. Some of these people who
-
were religious, they had their long flowing roads. They stood in the public
-
market place, and they preached so pretty. They had Abraham and David and
-
so many great men of God as their ancestors, and they had so much
-
to you because of of their position and poster of goody. But brother,
-
then they committed the unpart of our sin. What were they doing? What
-
were these religious readers doing? It was the most office of faine head to
-
the Lord. Why would God say, did you ask me for forgiveness?
-
Let me think about it. No, I'm not telling to forgive you for
-
what you did. You see these religious people he had stayed here, got
-
the Son of God. The second part of the training God here was possessed
-
by Satan. Do you know what that means? I'm telling submimey in this
-
feeling to my for youve to act like it's not God speaking to you through
-
his word, through the errors, through the teacher, through the preacher,
-
through the pastor you do not realize. Say what kind of sin man you
-
are committing? Man, ho come on now, they look to Jesus,
-
say, and they said, that's not a God. That right there was
-
not for God. God was not in it. And they said that.
-
Jesus said, Christ himself and is possessed by Satan. Do you know who
-
in their being possessed by Satan? Here somebody that was close to Jesus,
-
said, somebody that walked up with the other, a lady, somebody that
-
was not here no money to tell, somebody that was condition and send our
-
class to himself to do a coome work. He found himself. He possessed
-
her by Lucifer himself. I'm telling somebody, honey, the sound of my
-
voice say, you don't know what you're playing wall. You're not playing with
-
pie, You're playing with hellp We do walk and the way God is gleanchul
-
for you. And you say, I'm not so sure that's the worst of
-
God. I'm not so sure that's the sphear of God. What do you
-
think it is? Do you think the same thing. Care for the soul
-
that is the worst of the devil? What do you think it is?
-
Don't forget to pray for me. Remember, I'm sick, but I'm gonna
-
preach this fat the sickness that is upon me. Religious people, religious people
-
that could say, did he not walk up and down inside of our church?
-
Did he not pass by us? Did we not census presence? Did
-
we not know that he was there? Did we not feel that there was
-
something about this man that was different? But some how Judas ended up possessed.
-
The Antichrist himself will be possessed by Satan himself as well. How many
-
people in this building have ever a witness the absence of someone possessed by an
-
evil spirit? It is not a beautiful cipher, I want to say,
-
it is not a pretty sight. It is unlikely that any of us are
-
or anyone that we know, has ever witnessed to someone under the direct control
-
of Satan himself. The Lord was not possessed by a devil. The Lord
-
was not possessed by bells of God needs. My defoinition is the Lord of
-
the flier. And you realize these are Hebrew men that are holding religious officers
-
and doing ceremonial things to Jehovah. They're worshiping, they're raising their heads,
-
they glorify their God. Okay, don't want anything you do in the spirit
-
to teach them. So I text gave us the reason for that, because
-
they like to the better good good. What's in it for me, I'll
-
tell you what's in it for you? Absolutely nothing. We're in this world,
-
in this life for him. That's what it's all about. You,
-
about you, It's about here. Jesus said, what about means I need
-
some attention in this life, describes, And the Pharisees and the Sagacenes will
-
say, I need some attention in this life. And Jesus is telling you,
-
I am not possessed by the spirit of belves above. I am not
-
doing the wonderful miracles by the power of Belzebah. We all know it was
-
not in the spirit a best above or by the spirit of one of the
-
Stevens. When I read my Bible tells me that when Christ encountered evil and
-
unclean spirits, they threw their host to the ground, and they stayed and
-
plain there thou art Jesus Christ, the son of the living God when Belsavib
-
and his Hitchman were manifesting themselves through leads It up to the era when the
-
Son of God came to the Nember leads It. They whipped him. They're
-
trusting down and they said, what are you doing here? Have you come
-
and telling us up before our time? They who he was? That you
-
may look how that creature. You may look her that walk her what a
-
teacher and say, talk's not in it. And you may not pad in
-
your teaching her or any mind you may put up to disregard it. But
-
I want you to know you better be careful reaching that parture for that plfl
-
who you say it's not for me. They've missed at her. Oh no,
-
we have not missed at her, You miss parsel. She cannot presents
-
your and committed the unborgilling myself. Your mother can cry and pray for your
-
day or night, and it will be to know a hell shangle. The
-
prophet could cry and pray for your soul taken night. Then the spirit of
-
God is saying you don't need to have a spirit of broken the ship and
-
a spirit of meeting the sup and beat yourself up over anymore Samuel, I
-
haven't left her soul that our proved, not Martin from the upper and I
-
tell somebody better. Oh, come on now. There was a Sunday going
-
on this day, and in this checking they're going nothing. He found at
-
least three compretations with Jesus. The religious leaders, they are immediately living in
-
the saying, that's not a God, that's not in there, that's not
-
for me. I tell you to Beta, they're unforgivable for that part of
-
a seal. Huh wow, heaven they find you. Stand by and help
-
the sword feeble sit there for body tonight. The Lord was not possessed by
-
bills above. And there were religious people that were saying he was. There
-
were religious leaders that were proclaiming he was. There were people that would say,
-
I just washed deaf from my hands the blood of an atoning sacrifice.
-
There were priests, there were Pharisees, there were Sadducees that was telling everybody,
-
there's no way that's the spirit of God. There's no way that's the
-
goodness and the grace of God. But when I read my Bible, you
-
could ask the covernor, and you could ask the way fair man, and
-
the stranger, and they would say things like brother LaRue has told me,
-
there is no way the devil would be that good to anybody. I'm telling
-
you. The devil does have confit and conflicting spirits. But anybody that is
-
normal, anybody that is God feared, whether they're serving him or not,
-
they can tell the difference between light and darkness. They can tell the difference
-
between a clean and an unclean spirit. They can tell the difference between that
-
is of cod and that that is of the devil. Should I keep preaching
-
it or should I let study a house? I must play a little after
-
nine point thirty. We've had a couple of great testimonies to night, and
-
the spirit God is blessed her that I feel like preaching is somebody to night,
-
so that you have a proper understanding. They could say you are demonically
-
possessed. They can declare it. They can proclaim it to and they do
-
that. I want you to know the Terrivil. He may not have known
-
the Son of sunset a scheme, but he knew the God of Paul.
-
And you're doing the servant of the Lord named Paul, and I know you,
-
and you're in a god you are the servant of the NFL and you're
-
not possessed the if you're living that and you want the propector and it sing
-
and so that is not or that. I'll tell you what's of the devil.
-
That's compromising. Amen. They're devils that witness Jesus while he was upon
-
the earth as God incarnate, God in the flesh. They said, we
-
know your identity, we know who you are. These wicked men were saying
-
that it wasn't the Father doing the wonderful things through his son Jesus Christ.
-
I don't believe that's of God. They'll say, that's speaking in tones,
-
that worshiping the Lord in the heavenly language. I don't believe all of that
-
is necessary. That's shouting, getting lost in the presence of the holy ghosts.
-
They'll say, I'm not so sure that's of God. And before you
-
know it, because it's lacking in their life before you, before the end
-
of the day, you'll know they are saying, that is of the devil.
-
It's unnecessary, it's not of God. God women here to answer.
-
You see, the religious leaders, the scribes particularly, we're not giving God
-
the glory to his name. And they were were busying himself with the task
-
of making others do the same as them. They were not content to just
-
say, I'm the pastor of this church, for example, and I know
-
I've lost the narty I love to possessed by devil. But no, they
-
want to preach to their children. They want to preach to their grand children.
-
They want to preach to the members of that congregation until everybody discredits her
-
that God is doing until everybody says he that is not Oh God, you
-
know what they're doing when they do that, They're pulling away from God's glory.
-
Oh yes, I'm gonna do that way down and the sun down tone.
-
That is the unpardonable, unforgivable sin. It's worth somebody turn us a
-
learning from God's glory to bring glory to their sapper. That's what these policies
-
were doing. Because they know there's clitting us and there's pressive they were of
-
Almighty God. They want to clue down what Jesus is doing. They they're
-
doing so they remove its glory. That is, to commit the unpardonable sin.
-
I've had people ask me for nearly eighteen years, what is the unforgivenment
-
of unpardonable sin. What is it? People have committed it more than you
-
recognize, people are about to commit it. People are closer to commitment than
-
they realize. You wonder, while we're living in the age of Apostas,
-
while we're living at the time of the great falling away because they downplayed the
-
spirit of God. The same thing happened old Mount Carnle when Elijah got enough
-
of it, and they went up to face off with the prophets of bel
-
and the prophets of the Growth and with a haven Jesselbel whether Nathaniel, you
-
remember the total of the sun of having of their prophets were there, and
-
they were trying to distract the people from the true worship of Jehovah. And
-
Elijah said, how long will you halt between two opinions? I want to
-
show you how easy these people were trying to steal away from the glory of
-
God and bring attention to themself. They created pre eminence, they created a
-
position, and they posted them up next to an altar, and people looked
-
up to them. People out of lives them and put themself in the stand.
-
God, do you know one of the first connervatives of God, the
-
old Huberty was there, sir, now shot put to no other concept before
-
me. You better be careful arecting that im. It's a semper in the
-
case of time, doing cansel no way, because you want to feel good
-
about your semper. I feel good about your the seasons. You realize here
-
in this twelfth chapter of Saint Matthew's gustav there's several confrontations or showdowns between christ
-
and religious people. Oh no, oh, no, preacher, are you
-
implied that in this day and alpha, there could be people that appear to
-
be holding us and Pentecostal and righteousness that are accusing good, clean, living,
-
pure, righteous holy saints are doing things of themself and of doing things
-
in their own name. They're doing things of their own power and essence.
-
They're saying God ain't in it. Do you all remember what I preached Sunday
-
night? They didn't make it and they can't take it. Oh, but
-
the gabble. They're not hesitating at all to say, I'm not so sure
-
about that man of people. I'm not so sure about what God is doing
-
over there in this country, or what God's doing in this statement. It's
-
just a how long they don't realize how closer they are when they speak as
-
the fields of God, the pinions of God, the work of God's hand.
-
He's got to be so careful touching God, so knowing. And whether
-
the city or a king or preaching how they poo, you want to be
-
careful saying no, it's not a God, it's the Pharisees. It's not
-
the demonically possessed people as of yet, it's the scribes, the addresses is
-
having a showdown with Jesus. What about Elijah and their false prophets of bell,
-
what about the prophets of the grove. They were trying to fashion an
-
altar and trying to make things happen for themselves. And you know what,
-
there was a showdown, And I want you to know the lowdown on that
-
showdown is this God revealed himself as to whose side he was on. And
-
Elijah said, when you see the God that answers by fire, react or
-
respond to whatever sacrifice is being offered, then you will know the lowdown on
-
the showdown. You don't have the results. You don't have the important facts
-
and the details as to really who was a prophet of God, as to
-
really who was operating as an oracle of God, as the really who really
-
was a true ruin, really nay prophet of God. I think that we
-
were the name prophets of God in the Bible. They were the greatest.
-
I believe. We've find the name of Elijah at the top of the list,
-
and there's meaning over eight hundred that was safe. He ain't tod he
-
ain't nothing. When the power starts the power, who don't don't no more
-
truth? No parly, look where to start the constep the sysm what the
-
criticis live God, mister parises. It's the scribes, It's the ateses,
-
It's the leaders within Judaism. It's the words taking the sacrificial does it's the
-
words taking the sacrificial lamps from the people that's supposedly offering them up for the
-
sins of the people. They're the words that's got a problem with Jesus.
-
They've got a problem with Jesus. These two different sects of Jews. They
-
call them up the children of God, the believers of Jehovah, Brother Gabriel.
-
They're pooling God's glory away from God. Every time the Holy Ghost Hijacks's
-
services. I throw my hands up and I say, it's all yours.
-
It was never mind to start with, it will never be behind her.
-
I almost still like I see a cloud in here right now as I say
-
this. It's all to God's glory. It's all because of common in.
-
These Pharisees were upset because of an asservant leadership of Jesus practice. They were
-
upset that because of what Jesus was doing, they would jell Us say,
-
because of his popularity, They would tell usself, because of his tile,
-
come on, now he have more the a fam of codliness say behind the
-
power, and the same thing goes say for the lights of her, and
-
the same thing upon her to apostle Paul. They had time, not only
-
tennis Trae said he through excellent, well spunken words, or they have tendistrate
-
said a power. Oh God, listen, sir, listen. Look,
-
you've gotta be careful what he speaking. Look just not holding us people.
-
It does not go to housetaf tea. I'm jealous about what God's doing for
-
them, so I will speak against them. You gotta be careful. You've
-
got to commit the uncarnable sin when you start taking mad actions through jealous spirits.
-
And to the spirit of Indi through ulterior motives. So you who wants
-
prover sided with the prophets. Now you're looking through the green eye of India
-
a David and you're jealous. Then you're raging, and you set a trap
-
for David. And then this trunk checker saying no to he's goughful. We
-
find several traps of being laid for Thy Lord Taesus. The Pharisees set the
-
trap for the Son of God. The all see and I help God saw
-
them behind closed doors, heard them over their dinner table as they manipulated and
-
deceived. Their friend had stretched the truth concerned their things, and so discord
-
among the brethren. The Pharisees had set a trap for the Son of God.
-
And it appears that the Lord did not flinch when they came at him.
-
When they attracted to our Lord healing the man's withered hand on the Sabbath
-
day, our Lord did not flinch, nor did he bat that eye.
-
Oh come on, now, I'm telling you God is not intimidated in the
-
least unattactants of Jesus on discoun I'm gonna say, of God's expense, could
-
you imagine that brother Jesse, a man came to church simply to get help,
-
holiness of and Acostom preachers, and people listen to me as I preach.
-
The man came to church to get help in the church, and the
-
ministry teams and the ministry programs were failing him. And while Jesus sit there,
-
he said, sir, we're to stand up, and went to stretch
-
out with a head and when to put it out there? And the Pharisees
-
are standing over there. They have set a trap for him, and they're
-
gonna find fault for him. Who is the Lord of the Sabbath healing on
-
the Sabbath day. A handful of times in that chapter we find Christ being
-
confronted by the hypocrital, hypocritical Pharisees. And I called them hypocritical Pharisees here
-
in my notes, But when I read our golden text tonight, we find
-
out what Jesus called it. He wasn't nearly so choice in his selection of
-
words, so he called him generation have vicers. Why did the Pharisees reject
-
to the fact that Jesus Christ was the son of God? Why did he
-
come into his own there and his own refusal to receive him. What is
-
the answer. Why are people today refuse him to accept Jesus? Why are
-
they rejected him? Why are they not con saved by the message when you
-
come to get the answer there Christy, Oh, come on, I'll be
-
pleased with him. I tell you one reason why I feel like that they
-
rejected him. The Pharisees rejected him because they could not stand her his approved
-
to They could not stand he his authority. They did not like that the
-
way people had approved of him, because they have not approved of it.
-
Does not matter whether you grandsual we talk from sitting here or not. Tell
-
there's some doctor signs their name and the bottom the men play. If God
-
tells you you don't need the approval, time there's somebody else I sent this
-
los me we need approvement. We sing, I'm telling you what God sent
-
you want to you don't need the approval in affirmation? What a positive no
-
one? If you want to get a hold of that tonight, Amen,
-
you just say, I know I don't God, I don't God sitting here.
-
I know I'm here because God told me to be here, and I
-
don't need approval for nobody. There's some of the struggling at times because you
-
need affirmation or approval Jesus soon is you don't have to have. They're truthful.
-
You remember it was said it's better for us to obey God instead of
-
over and men. If you were given a chance to pluck all of these
-
Pharisees and Sadducees and scribes and Judas and so many others that were jealous and
-
envious of Jesus, and you could pull them out of hell and ask him
-
question this question, why couldn't you stand it? Sister? And I don't
-
know why they couldn't stand in fact, at the Son of God, the
-
one that held their very breath in his hand, the one that breathed it
-
to them, the very breath of life, the one that could heal their
-
spirit, the one that could heal their body, and he was doing it
-
for people, and all the while he was doing it for people, for
-
others, and we're rejecting him. If you could pluck them out of hell
-
and ask him this question, why couldn't you stand it? What would they
-
say? I felt out the spirit of God dealt with me today to tell
-
you. This might be an answer. They would say, I couldn't stand
-
it. I was unable to tolerate him. I disliked him extremely. I
-
didn't like how we act with the crowd and the congregations. I just simply
-
did not want to be around himself familiar. That's it. To listen to
-
what Child of the Leather wrote down. These are the words of child of
-
blood. The lower is this child eleventh and forty eight is said, if
-
we let him this alone, all men were believe on him, and the
-
Romans shall come and take away our placer. And they said, that's the
-
real reason why they were check to him and wanted his ministry to Caesar,
-
and wanted to inter his life up, because they said, if he remains
-
at least all alive, we're gonna come believe it. So it's because he's
-
such a wonderful person. He's such ah. But the passing a sword be
-
such a wonderful god. Then the high priest. But there, you know,
-
the world was special privileges. The one that could go into our place,
-
the one that could go to the holy place, none other than the
-
infamous victorious Compass. Compash said, you don't know anything about the situation.
-
You just said that everybody will end up believing in him, and compass Is
-
said, you don't know anything. Boys. He begins to prophesy concerning the
-
death of Jesus, and he said he must die for the nation. When
-
he's really saying, Jeremiah, he is, we must kill the meek holy
-
who lamb, so that we could steal, have a poopit to preach him.
-
We must steal have all respective persistence and places or on the spirited.
-
All the skeletape say that's not must. In the hell with our calls,
-
I said, they indi hella without all there was the rais a port.
-
Why was setting the trap for the son of God? Why you said the
-
trap for gain? And so on? Because of indigoing you end the woman
-
preachings with into the custom churches. The pool pics on throughout America. Pastors
-
of homeless, churches, of Angelis, of all movements and affiliations. You
-
better be careful speaking against the work of God. You can backslide in your
-
heart and can look over to a familiar spirit and all you're gonna be.
-
He's trying to disturb other God fearing me in it. She used to call
-
brother and saw Wing in the wonder told him. Brother. You can say
-
it's because gameel he's trying to take the talk, but the real reason is,
-
you know, you get somebody, God, you know what you had
-
new foolhead talking today. I'm a feeling that Prinson. I a'm fenna sit
-
right now. They can't stand it. They can't stand it. Whenever Jesus
-
begins to reveal the secrets and the sins, the High Priest spoke of a
-
sent you all don't know anything. He must die for the nation, and
-
he must be done away with from that day forth. They said, they
-
took counsel together for to put him to death, not putting him away proudly,
-
not putting him away in a prison house, but to execute him.
-
You know why they had to execute him because they know he's gonna walk out
-
of that prison, because there's gonna be people break him out of jail,
-
because there's gonna be people protested after while. Oh, come on, the
-
best thing for him to do, it's just die. The best thing for
-
that pastor and his ministry to do, it's just die. It's the best
-
that we just fellowship them. It's best that we have nothing to do with
-
them. It's just that they just do away. Don't come on now,
-
Wait a minute, mister Pharisee, you coundnot stand the Son of God have
-
been here in your misty? Why do you perceive him as a threat and
-
not a help? Why do you see Jesus, mister Pharisee and mister Sadducee
-
as a threat and not a help? You see his presence as a curse
-
and not a blissen you ever seen that before? That's what Saul felt towards
-
David. I've got David right here, but his presence is a threat,
-
but it was actually meant to be a help. Paranoid is a serious thing,
-
and most of the time paranoia comes upon somebody because of a devil.
-
Now I heard think it's right there. Neither the Pharisee or King Saw had
-
said to the help they were being offered. Now, I'll tell you if
-
we're talking again about the unforgivable sin and the unpardonable sin, the lowdown on
-
the showdown God and you. We've read about the Pharisees and Jesus multiple confrontations.
-
In this chapter. We talked about Elijah and the false prophets, the
-
lowdown, hold a showdown. Now what about you, sir, What about
-
you, ma'am. Those of you that are listening right now, those of
-
you that are here right now, what about it? Divide assistance and divine
-
presence is here to help you, and you're saying, Hey, that's not
-
for me. Listen. Anytime God speaks, he's speaking for right now.
-
If you ask, whether it's your pastor or not, tells you. You
-
tell him when you're coming and going. When your employer says you clock in
-
and you clocked out, you send a textas you don't send a text.
-
I mean, I'm just telling you when you get to the place where divine
-
assistance cannot help you, the divine presence and the grace of God cannot assist
-
you. Emptying this soul begin to lose is not for God even gonna lose
-
his love for David. The very Roman streak between him and the chapel of
-
the Inny, his old armors there her soul. Wat's call in your heart,
-
it's heart trouble. We run it here tonight. A man out of
-
the good treasures on his heart being a co contains and an evil man,
-
and the evil treasure being apart for evil things. I'm trying to tell you
-
something. When they try to tell know what God is through it, and
-
when they try to act like God, it's not in the marker they I
-
pretend luck God's man is distant. They are closer to stealing the glory of
-
work for God, and they're close to committing the unforgiveable sin. I mean,
-
think about it. I'm just trying to preach what God should be in
-
a scription. I have an idea how you can get yourself in a situation
-
where you reprobate. I ain't Saul. Why didn't he repent? We've all
-
heard him say he saw he repented, carefully, sought God with tears,
-
but he could fire repentance. Saul, he just went to a witch's house
-
instead of going to the preacher's house. I don't want to hear from the
-
preacher, but I don't want to go through proper channels and try for authority.
-
There's some of you in this building. You don't want to go through
-
proper channels and proper authority. Somebody ringing that bell real loud for me right
-
here? Huh? Should I keep preaching or should I go to the house.
-
Saul had lost his love for God. He lost his love for God's
-
House and lost his love for God's Man, all because he wanted the kingdom
-
for himself. He wanted power for himself, he wanted to pray for himself,
-
glory for himself. Thank on this so God man, human man.
-
When they said David has slammed his tens of thousands and solved only his thousands,
-
I've told him how the boys before this is not a competition. But
-
I hope you guys with more souls for Jesus than I do. I've told
-
him how a boys before this to what is supposed to be. You're supposed
-
to build on the foundation, and you're supposed to grow. You're not supposed
-
to deteriorate. You're supposed to material lies. You're supposed to get bigger and
-
bigger and ultimo. David didn't have a problem with soliv and building with Tavern
-
Decker Damon didn't have a problem with Solivon doing wonderful. Thanks David laid up
-
in store for Solivon. What is your problem? Why, o, liar?
-
You won't praise? Why oh why you won't grow? You want to
-
be hunker down over there after you've walked along kind of stop and saying,
-
God, the reason why live, my son, the reason I bring is
-
because you. It's all for you. That's why them listen here we live
-
and move and have I been. Both parties had major of heart issues.
-
Song and the Pharisees had lost their love for God. Soul was concerned about
-
his kingdom. Judas was concerned about his kingdom. You don't have to have
-
the riches of Elon Mousker, some wealthy business man. You don't have to
-
have the position of some dictator world leader. All you have to do is
-
just have your little self and the little more pitiful thrown room of your little
-
old pitiful heart. And that the offensive to God, because all souls beloved
-
to God. You don't have to have billions of dollars in the bank that
-
you defrauded from people of God. You can have peanuts and have a gallon
-
of gas in your tank and still be an idol of your shelf. In
-
between you and God. I feel the Holy ghost through this place. He
-
was so worried about what others is all of him? What do others think
-
of me? Said Confas, What are others thinking of us? We're standing
-
outside and we're praying. That's what Jesus said. You know, they standing
-
over there on the corner and they praying. They put forth this good show.
-
I've told Bethel for years. I said, when the Holy ghosts gets
-
you to move it, now, don't you get louder in the flesh,
-
just so you can be heard. If somebody pulls out their video camera and
-
get just a little clip, I know, being on videos here, but
-
they get a little clip and you see them pull out, and all of
-
a sudden, you start going, Hey, that's the other devil, because
-
God is the one that should be getting glory. You know whether or not
-
you're tongue talking in the spirit or not. You know whether or not the
-
Spirit of God has given an unction. I can say and manual will Hey,
-
I know what that means, but I'm not faiding to be speaking in
-
tongue. I can say Messiah because he is Messiah, but I'm not saying
-
it to make somebody think I'd speaking in tough I don't know where all of
-
this is coming from. I'm just telling you we need to forget about our
-
little old self and we need to concentrate on God. Hey, I'm not
-
on the devil right now because I'm testising somebody the spirit. This ain't not
-
the spirit of battles of God. They looked at Jesus Christ, they said,
-
he's possessed with the spirit of battles of God. Who posessed thin'tsucked out
-
if they did that to Jesus. Let's say the pastor's got the spirit of
-
the dead, and he'll not stay with the rock up. This ain't up
-
with the devil. You would lean up the struckle with that right. The
-
Pharisees prayed outside so that others could hear them. They enjoyed others seeing them.
-
They're hearing them. Jesus condemned them because of the corruption of their heart.
-
Now, John chapter number eight, verse number forty two, Jesus said
-
into them, if God were your father, you would love me for our
-
proceeding forth. And came from God. Neither came out of myself, but
-
He sent me. Listen, you didn't send yourself. You didn't save yourself,
-
you didn't call yourself. I'm gonna say the same thing about myself.
-
I didn't send myself to LaBelle, Florida. There was a mighty man.
-
That's the station and evidence that it was the will of God. Did I
-
be here, because there was some that did not feel like I was to
-
be here. They felt like I was to be somewhere else. And there's
-
some that still feel like I'm not supposed to be here. I was supposed
-
to be somewhere else. Jesus said, I did not come to myself,
-
but he sent me if he'd got a problem with me preaching the pastor and
-
label learned and some my leafs. Why don't you call my bass? And
-
I asked him why he sent me here? In the forty fourth verse of
-
Matthew chapter number twelve, which is our host chapter tonight, that host our
-
golden text, Jesus labeled people. How many as you know preachers more they
-
won't label sin, but Jesus labeled them. I found seven labels right there,
-
just a few verses. He said, you're the devil's children. He
-
said you're as lustful as he is. He said you're as murderous as he
-
is. He said you don't like the truth, you speak lies, you're
-
ownbelievers. And again he said I'm a god, you're not a god.
-
Right, I feel I preach in another thirty minutes. It's not because I
-
lot being heard it's because of what I feel in my soul now tonight you've
-
got the low down over the showdown. What exactly was going on out Carmel,
-
What exactly was going on here in this confrontation of showdown between Jesus and
-
the Pharisees. And you got all of the truth, facts and the relevant
-
information about something going over between somebody in this building tonight. It's not your
-
parents' faul, it's not your preacher's fault. Come low on the showdown is
-
you're your own God. And I'm tell her you just for that side.
-
We've all heard of how bosses have confronted employees who needed to be confronted.
-
We've heard about how parents have confronted children who needed to be confronted. I'm
-
a parent, I've had to confront my children before, and there have been
-
showdowns before. And you know what, there's two sides to ever story.
-
But when you have four or five eye and ear witnesses to one side of
-
the story and the other side's got one witness, Jesus said, and these
-
are not my words, these are the words of Jesus. When you're in
-
that situation and you've got two or three witnesses that are testified as saying no,
-
this is the way it went. That is the way it went,
-
and that's what the judicial system of America still holds. Two. I want
-
to summon somebody to the witness stand right now, and we can shake our
-
head all we want to and declare the victimization of somebody else. Hey,
-
listen, Jezabel rose up to try to help them prophets of the grove and
-
the prophets of bel But you know a to Elijah had gotten rid of them.
-
What did the Bible said he did to them? Huh? He killed
-
him. Don't you think his arm was hurting from that much of a massacre
-
and that much of a slaughter because there were false witnesses declaring this to be
-
a God, this to be of the Lord. Hey, I'm telling you
-
what. Old Jezabel rose up and she said, no, Elijah, I'm
-
gonna have your head by this time tomorrow. And if God doesn't allow it,
-
I'm telling him as well, just spark me off as dead. I'm
-
paraphraise it. She was some man, she's boud God's man, she's mad
-
at God, just running off at the mouth. Better, just said,
-
but to low down on the Showdown, John opened up to us the reason
-
for why they were doing that. God knows the reason why you don't want
-
that treat, you to go treat for that other brother. God knows the
-
reason why you got on your phone and called all their preachers. You told
-
that liar on your brother. And if they only got to load down on
-
the Showdown, and if they only got the important facts of the details,
-
they'd have no confidence that you would all serve because you've been a busy body
-
calling all of them people across the country this same face. You're just as
-
murderous as your father, the devil. You're just as much a liar as
-
your father the devil. You hate truth as much as your father the devil
-
hates true. And I want you want to know people are a whole lot
-
closer to committing unpardonable sin and unforgivable sin, and they realize and rather just
-
that challenges me. That lets me know when Moses stands up, when my
-
pastor and my preachers, and my teachers and my owners, they stand up
-
and they pull from a soul, and I realize they're just busts that God
-
has use it. And I realize they're not just occupation, occupying space and
-
time, and God's just using them as his oracle. It makes me just
-
want to fall on my face and say, God, I ain't got no
-
time for a self temple right here. I ain't got no time to walk
-
against it, kick against it. The ground opened up and devoured those that
-
came against Moses. There's somebody tonight, hain't in over Hell on a thread.
-
In fact, you're so close today when the emergency responds vehicle about ran
-
me off the road trying to get to somebody. I asked, God,
-
is it do it's? How close you there? Toll? Y'all need to
-
think about what I preached about tonight. In seventeen eighteen years of ministry,
-
I never talked about arguable and I forgive. So I talked to Night about
-
Samuel crying and weaken to a side to her until God had to say,
-
stop waste and time. And there's a self righteous hypocrite here any less.
-
God, training for souls has never wasted time. I love training for souls.
-
I was up this morning in six and trade till seven to be more
-
accurate, five fifty nine to six fifty nine. At the very moment I
-
got down on my knees as lived by the Lord to trade. Brother Thomas
-
Sterre texts me said, Pasture, I'm throwing the presers and the hole of
-
us, I said, so am I, And I was search of my
-
soul? What't mean that? And I've had a message to preach tonight for
-
a while and I will be preaching him. But today y'all got to be
-
the women about to low down on the showdown. If your parents had to
-
have conflict with you, you could contact whatever you want to and you will
-
bind and torment it and leave a web, and you could throw a smoke
-
string out there all you want, But you don't realize how close you wanted
-
to unforgivable and no party will see them. When I came down here,
-
brother Wooton and sister Woton admitted to me, not in a glorifying way,
-
in an embarrassed way. They said, we're not where we need to be.
-
Is you preached us and get us where we need to be. Brother
-
Clatt came to me that he said, I admit I need help. They
-
wanted help. That's why they progressed, That's why they advanced. When sister
-
Cheryl came in here her brother Dwaynan were not even married, they were living
-
together, but they came in and I feared God got a hold of them.
-
Y'all remember how it started off. You want your situation to change,
-
but you must first change yourself. Self has to change before your situation changes.
-
That night, brother Gabbil come slide in through the glass doors and hit
-
the platform, and train said, who is this man? That says?
-
A man God have been working over a couple of years. He's having church
-
at his house. And he realized, and he says these words. I
-
realized I wouldn't get what I needed at home. But there's young men and
-
young women listening tonight, and some baby in this building. Every time God
-
deals with you, you stiff armed God. That's what the Pharisees did.
-
Covin Tyler. Jesus was coming to help them. The Son of God,
-
Jesus kept making appearances. There's three or four confrontations or showdowns between Jesus and
-
Pharisees in number one chapter. It is recorded and right now to think that
-
I have felt in this service that you haven't humbled yourself the low down on
-
the showdown, No may maintain you really what's going on. You don't have
-
all of your important facts. We don't have all of your important details.
-
And that's what Beloved John gave us. He said they were afraid if everybody
-
would believe them. You knows it. That's something to think that they didn't
-
want everybody that needed help to get it because they wanted to stay in their
-
positions. Brother Nathaniel, I feel this to know, before your situation changes,
-
you must change yourself. And again I will remind you of our text.
-
It said a good tree, we'll bring forth a good fruit, and
-
an evil tree evil free. It's a heart is shoe, that's what happened
-
to King saw a hearty shoot. I want us to stand. If we
-
can good, we can bow our heads right now, close our eyes,
-
Brother Jesse, no singing and planning, or I used to give care of
-
everybody in the building a chance to search your soul. Work up to old
-
salvation. The feard triveling the spokespring isn't going to work well. Sister Woot
-
and this and Sister howell Is and brother Jacob this and Brother Jacob. That
-
oh really sounds like the finger point that Judas, doesn't it? Don't miss
-
the point. And missing the point, you missed the power. Remember that
-
warning. Remember that message, Brother Nathaniel, in your office. There's a
-
sign that I had made years ago. Could you get it for me?
-
I preached a seven years ago Chile of rowing with Judas. Judas is the
-
one that paying himself in that box. Nobody showed you into that box the
-
lowdown on a showdown. I had a conflict with this one. I had
-
a conflict with these church people. I had a conflict with Jesus. I
-
had to conflict with the pastors. I had a conflict. No what it
-
was. You didn't want to do what you were told to do, and
-
you were rebellious and stubborn, and you resisted authority and refused to go through
-
proper channels. And I want everybody to look ahead, just for a moment
-
and look at this label. If somebody does it, he this message this,
-
you have opened yourself to demonic possession this night, I know how God
-
dealt will. The frightening thing of this is the way the Holygos typically ars
-
up in here and helps people to pray and to intercede. But for over
-
twelve months the Lord has said sleep be honest with me. And what I'm
-
seen is as Samuel was told, we no more. I'm serving notice ton
-
on somebody in this building. That demonic possession is as to that happened to
-
do this, that happened to the Pharisees. They screamed, crucify him.
-
You know how they could do that through demonic Now, I would hit this
-
altar and I would pray, and I would pray as David said, take
-
not your holy spirit from me, and I would submit to the spiritual authority
-
of the Holy ghost. Is there two or three? There's one? Is
-
there somebody else tonight? Somebody else tonight. There's a couple more coming forward.
-
If you just want to submit to the Lord tonight, I would see.
-
Yeah, yeah, the load down on the showdown to be saved.
-
They had a chance. It wasn't that. My spirit wasn't there. Jesus
-
will be the one speaking during that trial. They said, I did everything
-
to to help them. I sent Aliud to the call. I gave Iris
-
a message to give out. I gave the thing your tom bit purple I
-
poured out upon my features, and they preach young and older live. I
-
sent an angels. After anything h from that day, work they took counsel
-
together or to put him to keep dead. Don't crucify Jesus, divide.
-
Assistance is present to him. You know you do good. You can do
-
it. You're listening. You're here, a couple of hours drive, an
-
hour drive, three hour drive system. How I did it for six years,
-
the six little kids. You know what you need. Don't tell God
-
know when God say to it. The true facts are relevant information about something's
-
about the kind of important patents. Jesus so healthier tonight. What happened to
-
him? What happened to him? What happened? What happened? You've been
-
pulling God's glory away from him. He's not pleased with it. You've made
-
love of what the Lord has been doing. The Pharisees accuse Jesus again to
-
this about elzebrad m. What they did was most offensive to the boy.
-
They excused Jesus of being possessed by Satan. You can't accuse the Church of
-
opering and self or three Satan. This is God trying to help him.
-
Until what I think of because Jesus ours there's a whole lot of boys to
-
midy possession God hard I think can realize. That's why the brain falling away
-
has been taken place for years. They don't want to be telling God.
-
In their knowledge, God gives them up, gives them over. It's between
-
you and God right now to he's it's surrender with teachers lived to be a
-
change yourself between you and God. Now that's how you want it. For
-
over a year, he's been pulling for you. If he's used his people,
-
there's been love, there's been compassion. Jesus walked up and down their
-
city streets and they rejected. It's the time of the crucifixion. Now it's
-
Jesus of aratus. You didn't reach out to everybody reached to you, and
-
now it's time for you. This is the low bell on the shoulder.
-
He had rejected him time and again, and now it's time for your help.
-
Understing, it's not that God has given up on you. Who's been
-
pulling for months. Since you've given up on God, I've seen as people
-
coming to go, well, try some helper for six months, twelve months.
-
It's always the church's fault. It's always the pastor's fault because they will
-
be resu it. When he would receive Jesus. They rejected him. Could
-
it have been that God's spirit no longer strove for them? God said,
-
my spirit shall not always struggle. Man. That's what God's servant notice to
-
you to not concern do you your own woman ship and thing like you want?
-
I would do like? They even say, please don't take your spirit,
-
O Lord please. Yes, it is necessary to come back from the
-
name the world to be suffered. Yes, it is necessary to get away
-
from the copers. Yes, it is necessary to go the extra mile.
-
Yes it is h m hmm. Again, I want to say the true
-
facts and the relevant information about this is you have projected God for heights.
-
You have of the truth and the voice of reasoning for months, and now
-
God has continuing with you and no one of the showdown. As you have
-
