  1. Uh, the Saint du Saint Luke to twenty fourth chapter. Kay, I

  2. don't know if I'm for best for may h, I know that, Uh

  3. there's a picture of revival. Look around white and they go to James's severe

  4. suburbs. Uh, this is such a great, great, great man and

  5. just such a great spirit. And we just appreciate your doing anyway, Luke,

  6. Chapter twenty four, Now, Paul, the first day of the week,

  7. early in the morning, they came over the sept for bringing the spices.

  8. Would they had prepared, and certain others been them. They found a

  9. stone rolled away from the sephard. They entered in and found out the body

  10. of the Lord Jesus. We came to passes. They were much perplexed thereabout

  11. the old Two men stood by them in shining garments. Now they were afraid

  12. about. Down their faces to the earth. They said, under their white

  13. seek either living among the dead. He is not here, but he is

  14. risening. Remember how his estate under you, when he was yetting down,

  15. the saying the son of man must be delivered into the hats, and simple

  16. men be crucified. The third day rise again they remembered his words. The

  17. return told all these things under the eleven to all the rest was married Magdalene

  18. and Joanna, and marry the mother of James. The other women were with

  19. them, which told these things under the ass Their words seemed to them as

  20. idle tales, and they believed them not. The rose peering around into the

  21. second, and stooping down, he held the linen clothes laid by themselves,

  22. and the parted, wondering in himself that which was the past. The two

  23. of them went that same day, the whole two of them with that same

  24. day to a village calling Maus, which was from Jerusalem, about three score

  25. furlongs, and they talked together all these things which had happened. They came

  26. to pass that. While they commuted together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near

  27. and went with them. But their eyes were holding that they should not know

  28. him. And he said under them one manner of communications, of these that

  29. you have one to another as you walk in, or said, And one

  30. of them, whose name was Kleopus, answer, he said, unto him,

  31. art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, that's not know the things which

  32. have come to pass there in these days? He said, unto them want

  33. things they said undo him concerning Jesus of Nazath, which was a prophet mighty

  34. indeed, and were before God and all the people. Now the chief priests

  35. and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him. But

  36. we trusted that it happened he which should have redeemed Israel. And beside all

  37. this, today's the third day. These things were done. Yet certain women

  38. also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the separacum,

  39. and they found not his finding. They came saying that they had also seen

  40. a vision of angels, which it said that he was alive. And certain

  41. of them which were with us, went to the sepulcher, found it even

  42. so as the women had said, but him they saw not. Then he

  43. sat under them ol'pools, and slow of hard to believe all that the prophets

  44. have spoken, ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into

  45. His Grd, beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded under them,

  46. and all the scriptures things concerning himself. They drew nigh under the village.

  47. Whether they went, he made us way, wouldn't have gone further. But

  48. they constrained him, saying, abide with us where it is toward Eden the

  49. day as far as spin and he went in to charry with them and came

  50. to pass. As he sat and meet with them, he took bread and

  51. blessed, and breaking came to them. The rise were opened, and they

  52. knew him. He managed out of their son, and they said, one

  53. to another, did not our I remember within us? Well? They talked

  54. to us by the way, while he opened to us the scriptures, and

  55. they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem. Right for years,

  56. by the how I read these scriptures over and over again, I have heard

  57. it preached Amen about the two men on the Ambas road. I got to

  58. prayle one day, and I said, Lord, we know very well that

  59. one of them name was Cleoles. I said, Lord, what was the

  60. other man's name? And it just to hope the ghost just seemingly deal with

  61. my soucal, Why do you say it was? So? I started searching

  62. through the scriptures, and I found a group of women standing at the cross,

  63. looking up at the Savior as he was crucified. They were named,

  64. and he told about Mary Naklin who stood there. Don't not marry the mother

  65. of the Lord and stood there, and then he said, marry the wife

  66. of Cleophus was standing there now. So now we have Cleophus, and may

  67. I say his plot are going home. They're not staying no longer. They

  68. went as far as they could go. They trusted, they believed. But

  69. yet somehow another, they now feel like it's over. I don't have any

  70. reason to go on. I don't have any reason to trust anymore. I

  71. don't have any reason to believe anymore. And they're walking away from Jerusalem.

  72. Amen. And while they're walking away from Jerusalem, somebody starts walking with them.

  73. Whoa not only walks with him, but he starts asking them about their

  74. conversation, not condemning their conversation, but asking him about their conversation. Then,

  75. and as they tell him about these things, brother Philip, he starts

  76. telling them, amen, things Amen, that the scriptures had already promised them

  77. a man. They still don't know who he is. Is he now?

  78. But they say, we're getting ready to turn into our house. Would you

  79. please come in with us? Would you come in with us? And as

  80. he sat at the table and broke bread with them, their eyes were opened.

  81. Had they realized who it was when the Bible said, then he disappeared

  82. out of their sight, and they accepted not our heartburn than us. He

  83. talked with us in the way when he opened none of us the scriptures.

  84. I want to preach to night for just a little while. If the Lord

  85. had helped me on the right God when you're on the wrong road again,

  86. the right God when you're on the wrong road. And and something that really

  87. caught my attention, brother, how the Angel had told the window that he

  88. meant to go and tell the disciples that Jesus was going to meet with him

  89. down in Jerusalem. He was going to meet with him in that out of

  90. the room. He was gonna meet with them. He was gonna with him.

  91. He was gonna show them his glove. He met. But before he

  92. went down to Jerusalem, before he went to wear, all those apostles were

  93. waiting on him. Before he went to wear, all those were waiting to

  94. shout. There were two they were on the wrong road. And he said,

  95. I've got to go meet with them first. I've got to go talk

  96. with them first. I've got to go deal with them first. He meant

  97. some man, and there may have been some brother how he membver would have

  98. said, if they're gonna walk away, let them walk away. If they're

  99. gonna leave them, if they're gonna go away, who cares? He mem

  100. But there was one that cared. There was one of care that they were

  101. on the wrong road. There was one that cared that they were walking away.

  102. There was one of the cares that they had given up. There was

  103. one of care that they had lost their faith. There was one of the

  104. care he met that their hearts were broken. And may I tell you tonight,

  105. I'm plan. He's God. When we're shouting, I'm Pranny's com when

  106. we're on the mountain talking, I'm cut his talk with things are going right.

  107. But pre can I tell you a bunch of us would not be here

  108. tonight had he not been the right talk. But we were all the right

  109. way as worse again he now, And then I want you to notice.

  110. These were not he then the town Gronkx that were on the wrong road.

  111. These were not the reprobates of the city. These were two that had went

  112. all the way to the cross. These were two that had seen the blood

  113. pouring down over rock across. These were two he men that had heard his

  114. words that had set with him, that had seen his miracles. I'm gonna

  115. tell you were in the wrong road is not something that we can be immune

  116. to and that we can be doing the best we can do. And all

  117. of a sudden, brother, Cheremiah, it seems like we're just not where

  118. we need to be. We're just not doing what we ought to be doing.

  119. We're just not feeling what we ought to be feeling. And it is

  120. in those times at the adversary of our soul, well jump in, I'd

  121. say you must be lost, you must have done something wrong. Jokes comforters

  122. will run in a debitation and put a finger and saying, what if you've

  123. done wrong that you're not feeling Tod, Boy, you should be feeling Tod.

  124. And there are some that we'll kill up. And there are some they'll

  125. say, there's no use to go wrong. But may I tell you,

  126. for he hears the right God. When you're on the wrong road, he's

  127. the right Tod. When you're not doing in the right direction, he then

  128. he then amen, may I say this tonight, He men the right on

  129. the highway of holding us, right on that road of redemtion, where the

  130. history we can find ourselves walking in the wrong direction. I've done it,

  131. he man, I've done it. If you haven't, God bless your soul.

  132. Amen, But I have done it. I have reached that place where

  133. I felt like I'm not headed in the direction I need to be going in.

  134. And Brother hal he meant he didn't give up on me. And I

  135. don't know. I'm probably not preaching to everybody tonight, but I'm richer to

  136. somebody tonight. The wonders, can't God help me, or I'm out right

  137. now, can't God move for me? Or I'm not right now? Can't

  138. God touch me? Or I'm at right now? He Now, notice when

  139. they said to him, they said, we trusted. That's what I am.

  140. We trusted. We trusted. I'm gonna tell you trust, he man,

  141. can become a trial. And then we we live in a world of

  142. broken hearts and trusted. We were looking at a world of tear drump stained

  143. pillows where somebody trusted. A world of broken hearted. Mama so trusted,

  144. broken hearted, that is trusted, broken hearted children that trusted. Amen,

  145. Amen, I'll had something not longo than in our nation. There's an absolute

  146. lack of trust. And I'm wondering, Saints of God, A man and

  147. some the men that are on that road to the off feel the holy ghost

  148. of God right here. He then, I want to preach this. And

  149. I know you may not shout and you may not worship, but I feel

  150. like shouting right now. He then, because I am one that was not

  151. left in my own devices on the wrong road, I have won that brother,

  152. when are down on the wrong road, there was one walk with me.

  153. There was one did not give up on me. I wish you'd help

  154. me tonight, Saints of God, I wish you'd pray for this poor penomal

  155. preacher. A lot play pop less him tonight. But I feel like somebody

  156. needs to hear this tonight. He is still the right God. When you're

  157. on the wrong road, a man and man you're being on the wrong road

  158. does not make him not the right dog. He's still the right dog.

  160. He's still the old adel. He's stilling getting He's still the amen.

  161. He then he them, we live in time. The man with that couple

  162. would have been disparaged by many. Many would have said, why reach for

  163. them. Amazes me that all the disciples, all of those that had been

  164. to the cross, all of those that had been to that company, that

  165. had been fed that company, that had been the multitude that we're with him,

  166. Why did not one of them? He then, why did not one

  167. of them wonder about Kleopus? Why did not one of them wonder about his

  168. wife? He then, why why didn't not one of them say, maybe

  169. we ought to talk to Kleopas and his wife? He then, amen,

  170. Oh, I always help me that I saint to God. He then he

  171. men, how mean we we hear scriptures that ain't scriptures pre shotting the book

  172. of Isaias. He never the first ideas? He man, whatever tubs,

  184. dark. They went incause he's getting night. They went incas me weighing down.

  186. headed back to Jerusalem. And when I came to heaven, brother Jacobs,

  187. I want to ask somebody, what were they hollered when they ran through the

  188. door. What were they telling everybody? Ain't you the two that walked away?

  189. Yeah, so while we were walking away, somebody started walking away about

  304. the little sheep that wandered away? There was a hundred in that flock,

  305. pretty good flock of sheep. I was driving through Aspen, Colorado one year.

  306. Had been hunting out in the Rocky mountains, and as I come through

  307. Aspen, I looked up on the hillside, multi million dollar nations built in

  308. the sides of the mountains there, and I it's a big ski community,

  309. big wealthy community. I looked at it looked like an avalanche coming down the

  310. mountain, the big white curtain coming down the mountain. I stopped the truck

  311. on the side of the road, Brother Jesse and I watched it. There

  312. were men on horses guiding the whole big herd of sheep right through those multi

  313. million dollar yards, right through all of those he now mansions he'll come a

  314. big flock of sheep. And then I asked somebody at a gas station.

  315. I said, what were they doing? Said? The sheep were in a

  316. place where they couldn't exist because it's sticks and it told up there where they

  317. were, he sticks in it again, he been hungry up there where they

  318. were, so they were leaving them down. He then, or didn't it

  319. bother the people who they there? Yeah? He then he men, but

  320. the shepherd, the shepherd didn't care. How let you put in your walk.

  321. The shepherd become what you caught him? That? I said, the

  322. shepherd, people, tell you what you thought wrong? The shepherd had said,

  323. sheep, you didn't have to get the apple, because if I don't

  324. get him, care who they are, they're not gonna take you. They're

  325. not going to say. God saw there this shepherd had a hundred and one

  326. of them? What with? What still got done? The god? But

  327. Jesus said, what mad of you? Did not say hardly a wolf?

  328. He said, what mad of you? Whoa Now? I preach him over

  329. here? Well, yeah, what mad of you? Have a hundred sheep?

  330. And one of them let us went astray? Would not leave then?

  331. And then and go after that let's go on a straight and then we miss

  332. it so much sometimes, brother, start when the Bible said, when he

  333. finds it, and then what does he do? Kick him aside the head

  334. and say, get my hold? What does he do say? You stupid

  335. sheep, you're sadne, you're doing a hog And then you you, you

  336. left you, you walked away? Amen. He may no those sheep like

  337. you know, she'd cared about you. He may see where you're stupid.

  338. Hey, man, you're a stupid sheep. Amen. No, a man

  339. who man, He picks it up and puts it up on his shoulder.

  340. There is nothing in the scripture that tells us that the sheep could not walk

  341. on its own. It could. It was not injured, it was not

  342. crippled, it was not bending up. He then, Jesus said, the

  343. good shepherd who laying in upon his shoulder and comes home rejoiceing you talk about

  344. the right God along the wrong road. He now he know I'm going about

  345. somebody or to rushing him right now, somebody order plays him right now.

  346. He now, I ain't a order up here. Just don't be revival here.

  348. in buston. There's a long roads in border, but there's a right dog.

  349. Let me on the long room. There's roads to lead to the beer

  350. joints, there's roads to lead to the front houses. There's roads to lead

  351. to the damn damns. But there's a right God. There's a roight goddamn

  352. r B. How you mentioned it? You already preached it. Man.

  353. At the start of the service, we reached the place where we preached more

  354. on the wrong road than we did on the right dog. Our message was

  355. just about the wrong road. We had a perfect description of the wrong road.

  356. We had a perfect amen example of the wrong road. But in that

  357. did we forget about the right God? Did we forget him? Want you

  358. worship that right God? Now? Who? Man, Oh Man, who

  359. Man? There's strong wounds that we get on accidentally. There's wrong roads we

  360. get on out of neglect. There's wrong roads we get on because something happened.

  361. But I want to preach to you tonight that he's steal the right God,

  362. that he's steal the right God. And it is no accident that this

  363. service has taken the turn that he's taken. Right now. We shouted last

  364. night for three hours. He may you an we could worship him right now.

  365. The trust a few moments and man, but brother, it's not like

  366. a tidal wave going through right now. No, maybe not he man,

  367. but he's still the right God. He's steal the right God by the history

  368. he now, he's steal the right God. But I trusted, and I

  369. trust is violated. He's steal the right God. But I've done things I

  370. said. He's still the right God. But I feel like a failure body.

  371. He's still the right God. But I can't go walk. But he's

  372. steal the right dog. I don't know. I can mean to tanger,

  373. but he's still the right God, or to call it go to God,

  374. sisterlia, I do not want he meant to in such a focus on the

  375. wrong road, but I forget the right God. Amen. Amen. He

  376. met him right down here in a little place called the Bell, Florida.

  377. Would you do me a favor and lay your hand over on somebody and ask

  378. God to richly bless them right down, Lord, per spirit out of here.

  379. Right now he met brother howled humpy like somebody aroun all to preach.

  380. If you can believe me, if you can believe this old preacher for just

  381. a little while. Do you believe that he's a lot god? From when

  382. you're at right now? He? Now do you believe he's a right god?

  383. He? Now? He Man, he's not the God that justifies evil.

  384. He's not the God that justifies him. He there the is he the

  385. God that cast him away? They know the fault? Amen, man,

  386. man, this note and woman, this man and woman by the Christian thank

  387. giving up this man and woman who said it's old? Where do I go?

  388. So I'm gonna ask us tonight and this so I hope And you said,

  389. well, very no excuse, numbers are not there? Really isn't.

  390. I mean, do you have a wonderful pastor here, you have a wonderful

  391. church here, and we have a wonderful God. But unfortunately I'm preaching to

  392. humans tonight. Right, But the hest of humans, if given a choice

  393. between two roads, will at least fifty percent of the time takes wrong.

  394. On most likely ninety nine point nine percent of the time. Yeah, man,

  395. we have an adversary news waiting to tell you the truth. We have

  396. an adversary brother of mine that's quick to point out to you there's no use

  397. you're in the third week of revival, shut this thing down. We're tired

  398. and we're we're out. Breacher, did you understand that I've been in revival

  399. basically since June the tenth of nineteen ninety four, Soul, I do understand.

  400. Tired. Well, my body's sore. That was over with me a

  401. long time ago. That amen, that's donee Amen, Amen, Amen.

  402. And I feel like right here in Odel, but there's somebody I'm saying,

  403. n why that right now? Yeah? Right? H Can you help me

  404. out of that? Can you? Can you help me where I am?

  405. And I see a couple walking away? Jesus went to work with him,

  406. and I feel like he stepped in this service tonight, reach out into this

  407. service and ask him, would you really walk with you right? Would you

  408. mean yeah? Would you make this precious savor who cared so much about that

  409. want that he erected the Jerusalem Company go with that one. You love them

  410. on that answer? We we we we we are we are being Pentecostal,

  411. being holders, being Christian. To Damascus Road needs something glorious death. I

  412. mean, if I said Damascus Road, you all would just say yeah.

  413. But that day the Mascus Road was not the road of redemption. There was

  414. a road taking him to destroy There was a road taking him to wreck Havoc.

  415. There was a road taking him to he now to he then annihilate the

  416. church. You talk about the road road cow Rode wasn't Damascus road. For

  417. Saul of Tarsus. Cow Rode was the road he was on. Amen,

  418. this is a man that stood and held the darments of those that stone Stephen

  419. to death. Right now, ain'ten But on that road, whoa a great

  420. lights you? And a voice rang out of heaven and said, Saul,

  421. Saul, why persecutest thou me? Amen? Who art thou Lord? And

  422. he said, I am Jesus, who Lord of God, sinks of God

  423. the Damascus road. A man turned around that day, a man from being

  424. the wrong road to the right road, because the right God had gone on

  425. the wrong road. A man, may I tell you tonight, he and

  426. the roads you're on right now. God can change that into a glorious walk

  427. with him. God can turn that into a glorious Amen. I ain't never

  428. ray shut ship with him? Why God send a prophet how to South Florida,

  429. Because there's a long rooms there and there's a lot of people that need

  430. to know. Because you're right though, if you know that room or worshiping,

  431. worshiping, Yeah, whereas in the Bible, somewhat like this, somewhat
