The noble brethren of Berea - Bro Jeremy Howell 11-8-2023

I appreciate the way the Holy Ghost has moved in this service. Again,

thank you, elder brothers and sisters for your obedience to the Lord in your

testimonies tonight, greatly appreciate them. If you have your bibles, will you

turn with me to the Book of Acts. May I direct your attention to

the seventeenth chapter and the eleventh verse of the Book of Acts, Brother Nathaniel,

Second Corinthians, chapter number eight and verse number twelve. Please, sir,

brother jesse John, chapter number six and verse number sixty seven. If

you're saved and you know it, say amen, oh, yes, so

good to see everybody in the house of the Lord. Brother Nathaniel, would

you read this tonight's Second Corinthians, chapter number eight and verse number twelve.

Or if there be first a willing mind is accepted according to that a man

not according to that he hath not. So if there first be a willing

mind, look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, do you

have a willing mind? What did they say? How did they respond?

Brother Samuel said, his neighbors said yes, sir, Brother jesse John,

chapter number six, Versus number sixty seven and sixty eight. Then said Jesus

onto the twelve, will ye go away? Also, then, Simon Peter

Arohim, Lord to whom shall we go now, has the words of eternal

life. Amen. Let's stand for the reading of our text tonight again.

Our golden text is Acts, chapter number seventeen and verse number eleven. The

Bible said, these were more noble than those in Thessalonaika in that they received

the Word with all readiness of mind and search the scriptures daily. Whether these

things were so with all readiness of mind, say that with me with all

readiness of mind. Let's pray, Heavenly Father, I thank you for the

opportunity to be in the house of the Lord. I thank you for the

precious people of like precious faith. The brother said, there's some sixty something

here tonight, people that are thirsting and hungering for righteousness, people that are

putting you first and seeking you while you may be found. We pray that

you would anoint this thy servants, that of guard at my mouth, help

me to say the things that you would have me to say, nothing more

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

what the spirits saith unto the Church, through this blessed word of God,

this preach word of God. I pray that these sayings would go below the

shoulders, that they would be in our heart, hearts, in our minds,

and our souls our spirits. May we not be hearers only, but

doers of the words of God. We pray, and may we depart this

place joyfully and not sorrowfully. In Jesus' name in the church said Amen,

I want to preach to you a message the Holy Ghost titled the Noble Brethren

of Berea, the Noble Brethren of Berea. And of course there were some

noble believers that were sisters as well in this little town of Berea, again

the Noble Brethren of Berea. Our text is found in a New Testament book

of the Holy Bible, the Book of Acts. Not only does this book

of the Bible tell the story of the Act of Apostles, it tells us

a lot about the actions of the sweet Holy Ghost. How many of you

must admit that ever since you see the Holy Ghost into your person, it

has made you very active in prayer and praise to God. I must admit

and say that after the Holy Ghost took up residence in my life. It

made me a person of action concerning the things of God. It is truly

a book of acts. If you'll study this book of the Bible, you

will see that the disciples and the followers of Jesus Christ were busy doing those

things that He had mandated or commanded for them to do. You see,

these believers were not in active people. They were active people. They wouldn't

be pleased with it inactivity of most professing Christians who are living today. The

people of the early Church were proactive, even though they were a persecuted people.

They'd done their very best to seek to it that the Kingdom of God

would be advanced despite opposition by the opposers. They also done their very best

to see that churches were established and constructed. They were trying to enlarge the

Kingdom and the family of God here upon planet Earth. While they had breath

in their body, and while the Spirit of God was enabling and equipping their

mortal bodies to be able to do great and wonderful things. Were an immortal

God and eternal Heaven. In the face of opposition, they served the Lord,

and they served their fellow men. These people who walked out of the

upper room. They were people that could say I had experienced the indwelling of

the Holy ghosts for myself, and they had a mind to work. In

fact, Brother stere immediately when we find them in the streets of Jerusalem doing

what most people would not have done until they had received the Holy Ghost.

Actor that they had received the Holy Ghost, they were able to stand up

for Jesus and his teachings. They had witnessed his ministry. They knew that

it was an impeccable ministry. But now they are willing to promote it and

to proclaim it from the rooftop or in the street or on the street corner.

These people are active. They're wanting to do something for the Lord.

I saw this past week where Brother Jesse and his bride and some others went

into the nursing home attempting to do something for the Lord. Ever since Brother

Jesse received the Holy Ghost, he has been seeking out an opportunity to do

something for his Master. He has not been seeking an opportunity in the pulpit

of his pastor or another preacher, but he has sought an opportunity to work

in the parish off the Lord which is the great world in which we live

in. Every street corner offers a platform for a preacher to preach upon.

Every nurse at home offers a platform for a preacher to minister there. I

feel like the Holy Ghost has blessed us with people that are willing the workers.

How many of you know that if you speak to your child concerning getting

a job, they must first have a readiness of mind or a willing mind

in order to take that job and to keep it, to have a handle

on it. Now, I want to preach to you here tonight. Hit

the Lord to help me. And so these people had a strong desire to

do something for the Lord. In fact, their actions parodied or mimicked the

actions of the Apostle Paul. One time Apostle Paul expressing himself, he said,

he said, woe unto me if I preach not the Gospel. Whether

he was preaching the gospel or being persecuted for the gospel, the Apostle Paul

was always busy doing something for the Lord. We believe that the Holy Ghost

will equip those that have a desire to work for him. Do y'all believe

that? And I feel like the Lord enabled and equip people for their individual

and corporate assignments. He's done this since the Church was formed in the Upper

Room, and he's still doing this today. If God has called you to

be a pastor, he will enable and equip you to feed the flock as

necessary, and it is indeed necessary to feed the flock of God on a

continual basis, and to be consistent in your labors of love for the people

of God. If God has called you to open air evangelism, and he

has sent you into the highways and the byways, and as you're out there

you're compelling the lost, I can assure you that if you have been divinely

called and divine except you will be divining equipped and enabled to do that,

then God has a sign for you to do. We're finding the word of

God that if the apostles were asigned to watch over the tables during dinner on

the ground, they were able to do so. After that they received the

Holy ghost men like Steve, and was willing to serve a widow's food if

it was making or erecting a tempt. The apostle Paul was willing to supplement

his income not to be a burden to the people of God. If it

was teaching, come son out to sundown, and then to continue teaching and

preaching to somebody whose mind was not in the service, that person's name would

be Uniquus. The apostle Paul will continue preaching to those that were Michael of

what was preaching in the those that were mindless concerning the things that God had

for them. You see, these men and women felt like as the children

of God, it was the taily assignments and duties to do something for the

Lord Jesus and his kingdom. The believer should never be discouraged and his labor

for the Master. If you see it as your work, and you see

it as your field, and you see it as your harvest, that you

can be discourage and you will be discourage. But when you see it that

it's his field and it's his harvest, it does not matter if you are

sowing the seed or worrying de sede, or bringing up basket, say of

fruits, into the storehouse, you will say that I thank God that He

considered me, Paul, putting me into this ministry of service. How many

of you know that the church of today, they no longer see that it's

necessary to serve our brother. They no longer know the necessity of servit too.

They don't understand that all are tauch. You are busy bees when it

comes to doing things for God. Gonna stare touched on this tonight. He

did not know what I would be preaching about. I want to tell this

church that if you study the Book of Proverbs, that's just how I've been

doing for about six weeks now, you will see a Solomon despise a slothful

soul. Can I tell you that the Holy Coaster has never hired a slopful

servant. He's calling them look for somebody has got a dog and determination to

do something for the Lord. If you're sitting on that to tone and you're

sitting on your hands at the same time, you are a failure. I

don't get talk to look at me a say, Lord, done, thou

failure. You've got a perfect job at failing me. No, I want

to hear that word failure. I want to hear well done, thoucome and

thankful servant. You see when I come into a church service, that's exactly

what I'm doing. I'm serving the Lord. Oh, come on, now,

you're the pastor denner is served. If you're the praise worshiper, the

prase should be calling up. This is not some place that we come in

just to sit down. How would you feel like how would you feel at

the waiter when you went into the restaurant, went over and sit down at

the table next to you and refuse to just her. You would not like

data to be a You get on your phone, you get a Google reviews

that you kill that institution, that establisment of that restaurant, of what star,

and you would say that was terrible service. You know what acts you

go on to say, I will never go there again. I want there

for an angel peering into the service tonight. Look to to look at your

wilson, to look at your praise. There's somewhere that's nothing going on in

act in the painter, I don't think I lolled her. Take her going

there a dem after dead church. I don't want it to be a dead

church. I wanted to be an actor church. An actor church, active

in prayer, active and Bible reading, active and Bible study, active in

evangelism, active in outreach, active in searching the scriptures. You see these

people of Berea will want to search the scriptures. The Bible said in another

place, search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life.

Isn't it a frightening thing to think that there can be people having the Bibles

on every end table in their house and own every bookshelfa in every bedroom and

have not searched the scriptures and founder eternal life. But they've been ever learning

and they're unable to come to the knowledge of the truth. You see,

these noble believers of Maria, they were people that will search the scriptures.

How about you here tonight? Have you heard what kind of holy ghost has

sin? As we search the scriptsers, we realize that God's people, both

men and women, they are actual. This very brooker, his name actions

depicting the actions of the apostles of our family ghost. We can find that

these noble Prethia of Maria, along with some sisters both Gitars and Jews,

Greeks and Jews, they wanted to do something to further their knowledge to Vans

in the cruel in grace and in the knowledge of the latter save her to

Jesus Christ. How many of you know that these people, they would seek

out an opportunity to do something for God. The apostles would serve the power

and the lonely before they would seek the richer and the high minded. Or

come on, you only want to do something for God if it benefits you,

if you get some kind of praise. I'm not preaching them, not

for the prove with a man. I'm not preaching poor. I'm probason our

a pause. I am preaching my God, because God said, moved to

the bill that pioneer a church there and preached them out, people that are

ly. If God sends you there, he'll send the secret. If God

tells you to feed the secret, he will sin the sheed. If you

feed, the seed will come. If the sermons have subsidence that they have

good material and the best material, you can feed them. It is the

word of God. It does depth. You search it out. These Brean

brethren, they would so search it out. It wasn't okay the compass and

Intonatis had said you do this, and you do that. These Greek people

and the Jewish believers, these Barians would search it out for themselves. They

would take the word that's Paul preached, and they would take the words of

God, and they would dig into it theirselves. They were not looking for

a way out and being rochester because they powered her when they searched it out

there that the Bible said, and nussal rocheousness has seen out to the scribes

and the paricees. You're not gonna measure up. I am parapleging some here

tonight, but I want you to know you have been given her an opportunity

to search this out for yourself. Oh yes, sir, you take their

leader just because preacher says it, who got to rot? I just get

her, pull yourself. It's a point for rest and known as the believers,

that we need to preach without fear and favor, and that we need

to preach without respect to person. These people served the paupers, the poor

and the needy, those that were destitute, those that weren't in despair,

the lonely outcasts of society. Jesus demonstrated this in his public ministry. He

had a ministry of a servant. He practiced servant ministry. Come on now,

Jesus had a mind to work. At the age of twelve, he

went to work for his father. Young men, it's okay when you tell

Mama around this same age, I'm going to reach out the pastor and find

out if this something I could do pastor's business. That's what Jesus was trying

to do at the age of twelve. Oh yes, he could have been

playing legouncer, he could have been playing with the military figureines. But no,

he said, I got to be about her my father's fierceness. This

is indicative to every child for the age of twelve with up there is no

excuser and all for you be Carding reminded her. This is not excu said

all when you come out time to get out a serving God to get out

or seeking a holy gooster to get out her reading your bble, No,

Jesus to a shat what it wants to have readiness of mine, even though

it's about a sin. You cannot yet, preacher the bober said. He

said, must I not be about her my father's business? That preacher and

teachers and holy guests put believers said we not to have a testimony, so

we'll not have a lesson. The teacher and a servant a pretexts the actor

in you and local assembly know that's one of these people of action, all

of God's being and women have always been action figures. Look at Sampson,

look at David. Read the eleven twelfth, eleventh chapter of the Book of

Hebrews. It is something that informs us, as in the writing, that

informs us of the wonderful things that people of faith did. They took action.

Very few people have been inactive most of the time. Those that have

been inactive that call themselves Christians are paraplegic and come on now. But even

them, whenever they got a hold of the Lord, he didn't matter it

was a warm dear flowing down their face or something, or the twitch of

a finger. They were trying to express their extreme gratitude and doing what they

could and servitude to God and their fellow men. He said, what in

the world can I do? I tell you the best when it gets started

is have a mind to work, to have a readiness of mind when it

comes to their preaching, when it comes to instruction, when it comes to

coming to CLASSA. Be you got CLASSA or come on now, do you

remember their students that you went to school with. You could tell when they

got there they had come to play, They had come to do anything but

school. But then there were those people they called nerds, and they called

pizza, and they were the ones that were successful. They were once said

I to waited there. They're talk to us and they don't know yourself,

and they're the notts that you beg to help you, because they came to

close with a readiness. From what I can tell, when our preacher comes

to the pool here and I not here reade to work, I can tell

when they're not ready to preach. I can tell when they're not ready to

teach. I can tell when they're not ready to testify. I didn't come

here to not ready to sit out the noble brethren of Maria, they had

to buying the work. Our brother read to us tonight from the Book of

Nehemiah the fourth chapter in the sixth verse, and the Bible said concerning those

that helped Nehemiah in the work, that God had told him to do a

divine assignment. In other words, the Bible says, so built we the

wall, and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof, for

the people had a mine to work. It is true that the Israelites who

helped Niamh built the wall, they built it on a daily basis, and

as they built that wall, they had every reason an opportunity to be distructed.

Some can have said, my wife is at homesick, while others said,

I'm gonna go check her on the peace in my field. I gotta

go check her on the cattle on those hills in my field. Oh,

come on, how many of you know we can be so easily destructed from

the barn assignments. He appears for a time they worked together and had a

mind to work for the Lord. Letter cheer him by the same thing,

because for these Burian people, they had just heard a reporter from the church

at Desalinaika and the people that were God was trying to save the safe divile

that holy guess feel through the ministry an apostle Paul. It's a newly established

church. But in this tumulta at Desilinika, God's trying to work on them.

God's trying to help them. If you look at the first few verses

of the chapter that contains our texture, you will see this tumulta at Desolanaika.

They should not have been. But the Bible said that there was a

certain group, a jeoser, that turned to people against the apostle Paul,

and you know there are people there trying to turn near Midels helpers against him

sun Blotta and to body. They trying to turn the people away from there

lead. And that's what the church of that thistle Nika did early old.

They must their opportunity for the Bible, because certain religious people said, it

ain't gotta be this way. You ain't gonna in Christ, Jesus, you

know how to accept the new trevenad its Brian brother that would not be fooled

by people that mocked what was going on. In fact, the Bible says

that while Paul is ministering to these Breading people, that there were certain Jews

that came down from thelon Nika and they began to speak against Paul and Silas

and by that Jeremy the Bible said, when they got done, they started

up the people so great me that the brethren didn't love Paul and didn't want

to seem lose his life. They told him, you need to get out

there by night. But what Paul left in his wake was some men and

some women. According to our texture, they were Berean believers, and they

believed in Jesus Son. They studied his life, and they studied his work,

and they studied his ministry, and they had a mind to work concerning

the scripts are until you fall in love with the Word of God and fall

in love with the House of condact. A sister I was leave to said,

I can't imagine missing what service? I can't imagine not leaning in uphill?

What service to a been that don't what service? Hell? For me?

Exactly what I needed to until the end. I tell these gab were

brethren, how real your survistor was such the Spencer side pastor was sick God,

no side pasco we walk God, just be call for you said good

God, because we love God. That's what sister Rupe said tonight. The

pastor shouldn't have to break you praise God. The pastor shouldn't have to rebuke

because of your lack of interest and praising the Lord. These Brean brethren didn't

have to be berated. I preach it till you here tonight. It's a

little bit deep, but I want you to know you will never get out

of service as long as you live. If you're gonna make Heaven your home

and be a child of God, you will be unable to coast if you're

going to make it. If you choose to coast, you chosen to roast,

and you chosen to be toasting the devil's hell. And I'm telling you

your height is gonna be burned. I do not want to end up in

hell. It is time to work. It is time to pray like we've

never prayed. The failer. It is time to read the bide like we've

never met it, the tailor. It is time to have or red tyble

that's even grain than the one that we had. And don't be worry of

this year. Oh yes we can have a thousand times. Yes, say

we can. People will have or readiness of mind. You see concerning the

work of me Amiah, that that God had given him permission to do that,

that God had granted unto him to do that, that God had given

him passports for prosperity, passports of promise. He said, Hey, you're

gonna go and do a wonderful thing for me. But the Bible said there

were those who accused them of being feeble and unable to work. Did y'all

know that as they saw the Israelites began to pull the stones out of the

rubbish they said, look at them feeble folks. Oh they can't do nothing.

In other words, they were being mocked. But a Thomas sterret.

When you're standing on the street corner and somebody bocks you, it doesn't matter

if it's Thomas Stared in the year twenty twenty three, or Noah when he

was preaching her in his time, or Neil Ba trying to build a wall.

The scoppers are gonna scopper, and the mockers are little mocker with that.

Stop matter if they stalk at his head or mockers. Uncome, old

ladies. If you're trying to be Rochester and you're trying to be holiness,

who cares her? If they roll their eyes? You know what the legions

saw her. They saw that rich man roll his eyes in hell. The

Bible said, in hell he lived to hump your eyes. He told me.

Not only did he open meal, he roll deal. They come on

now, they can roll their answer. And what they see us do up

the car that's hitting her pail, they can roll their answer. I have

to construction of the art, but I must be something for God. We

must do something pro family. Somebody's gonna testify, somebody's gonna show him the

crater is he there's one ls, but he is in the world. Somebody's

gonna show her. Baby, I don't have to come down to the spirit

of fear. I been long ago. See in this house. There were

those who accused him the being feeble weak. That's what they said about the

apostles. Wait a minute, they're supposed to be ignorant and unlearned. Mere,

Well, you're not gonna be ignorant or learned when you've been with Jesus

for three and a half years. Hey, all you got to do is

get in that Bible, and you'd be surprised what an awesome student you would

become in three and a half years of being with Jesus. Why don't you

just put on the mind of Christ, which is a mind to work.

How many of you have seen the black catboy in town. I don't mean

that disrespectful. He's just darker in color. How many of you have seen

it? He walks from store to store with a Bible under his arm.

As a lot of times I go by him and I salute him, whether

he sees me or not. I say that's right to hear you. The

passport of heaven in the face of Emperor Heathen and Emperor hard and my brother

Carol for a place to place open the Secrets Killer and read it because it

might be somebody of I come by and ask you. You will understand what's

a go my brother? Then just say yes, sir, I'm not like

that. Easy up here, year, I know what I'm reading up the

stand. What I'm reading, I couldn't do these noble brother or not we

read they knew the strit Sir. After hearing the preacher preach for fifteen minutes,

I can tell whether or not he's a student of the word. I

can tell whether or not he studies to show himself approved unto God, a

workman that needed nothing to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth, or

if he studying just enough to know more than the next God. Huh,

Well, I'm trying to preach to you, samble out Tobiah who lived in

the days of me Amiah. As Neamiah was trying to do something for God,

they hurled insults at you. Ah, look at that. That's just

brother Rodcap trying to teach Sunday's good. Who does he think he is?

The core a stretched door manager slash teacher. Oh look at that, that's

just brother Jesse going into the nursing home a minister to a handful of people.

Do you think that people can really hear and understand what brother Jesse's doing?

I do because I serve a god of a miracle. I serve a

god that can make all things move, including the minder of somebody that has

between email, including the minder and somebody is lost it or come on now?

Some mocked him for their desire and their efforts, for attempting her to

revive and repealing a glorious worker. What did they say? They said,

who can revive the stone? Say? From this rubbish? Why bother with

the pebbles? The walls have been torn down, the mockers continued. Come

on now, they went on to say it for boxer, go up,

he'll break the word. I don't care if it's the big bat whoop the

temple, the old little fox. I cop told you to feel that ball

who couldn't hoper and he can Papa sneaking out of the cover, and that

law will off of out built all of ghost. Now they'll tell us how

can it stand? It'll stand Sister Hannah, if we build it upon a

rock with wisdom, but the fullest man that builds a house upon the sand,

that's right, when the rains come down and the storms come up,

it will not stand. Sister Hannah taught her first Sunday school lesson and she's

the new teacher of that primary class on the wise Man and the foolish Man.

I'm feeling the Holy Ghost now, y'all feeling him in here tonight.

You can never get people to shout when you're talking about work. Radiness of

mine willing to work about the only one that I know of been shouting about

that since he's twelve, of Jeremiah, I mean, they just always did

love work, his sister lead. That's good news for you. He's always

been a workaholics where you men, I know that. But these balkers are

gonna come. They're gonna come, and they're gonna go. But what you

need to remember, if God has assigned you to something, when they come

and when they go, we're still gonna be here. God not bring them

in. We'll try to win them, convert them. But if they decide

they don't light the way you're living. If they decid like the church of

this or not Gome. We don't want this. You wanna try to run

a church out there or the pastor out You just let him go on and

live however they want to live. Come on around. It does not matter.

He made part of these people because or they desire to do something for

the Lord. They did something. You can't just sit there and do nothing

and we try to talk. Has to do something. The brother we are

belay this. They couldn't preach like the Apostle Paul. They didn't have the

knowledge, but they could read the Bible. They could search the scriptures.

You don't feel the Holy ghost in this place. Let's read our Golden Text

again, Acts seventeen and eleven. These were more noble than those in this

a naika in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind and search

the scriptures daily. Whether these things were so so because they had got it

for themselves. After Apostle Paul had been ran out of town. There was

nobody on earth that could tell them differently. There was not a demon,

There was not a preacher full of charisma, there was not any type of

angelic being. There was nobody that could separate them from the love of God,

and there was nobody that could separate them from their doctrine, because they

begin to compare the things that Apostle Paul told them, this same sacred writings

that Apostle Paul had referred to. Because Apostle Paul himself had been a Pharisee,

and so they knew that the teachings of the Apostle Paul were both biblically

a scripturally sound. An come on, now, you see these people were

doing their diligence in staying the word of God. The great servant of the

Lord, the missionary of the Apostle Paul, had gone into Tessalon Naika,

and he had encountered some sort of opposition there again, I want you to

know, But when it came to these brethren and sisters of Maria, he

noticed how interested the Marias were, and hearing from him and hearing from the

word of the Lord, they wanted to receive it. Who hear me right

now? They wanted to receive it. They wanted everything that they received.

Preach to me, preacher, tell me, don't lie to me. If

it's in there. You showed me chapter and verse, you pointed out you

proved to me that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, and that we did wrong

and crucified him. You see, the Grecians, the Greeks, which were

gentiles, those that were not Jews, the Jews, brothers, Jeremiah,

they are all getting preached to by the Apostle Paul. The poor, the

rich, they're all getting preached to you. If you'll notice this, it

said they received the word, and they received it gladly. I said that

they received it gladly. It wasn't familiar to them. It would have been

something very different from what they had been hearing. It would have been something

different from the normal teaching they had heard. It would have been different preaching

than what they had heard. Are y'all with me? It would have been

different. It would not have been the normal mundane running the mill sermon as

that they were used to hearing. They could tell these men had been with

Jesus. They could tell Apostle Paul had been come on that street, and

butther Jerli, and they could tell that these men had something in their preaching

that they needed. They had the holding ghosts. So this was knocked as

one of the meal servants. They had heard on a weekly basis out the

synagogue. Oh, come on, Paul went to the synagogue, and he

begin to turn into upside down. What would happened the con the rogue caps

started visiting that some of the churches in the state of Plorida, and they

listened to him preacher, they would say, this is not the same old,

same old we've been happening. That is not the same spiritual manner that

we've been peace and over it. I could tell this man has been with

God. John chapter number eight, verse number thirty two had said, and

ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free again.

Those who believed in the Lord and those who abode in him. It was

his word that they found freedom through, and by this word that we find

liberty. Spiritual captives. Come on, now, these people were being committed

and faithful to the truth because they found the truth to be liberating. In

spite of the tumult and dessalon Nikah, these people were gonna make sure they

held on to their revival. Jesus was not speaking to them the same things

their ancestors had been speaking. And Jesus told them that your ancestors, even

though they're religious, the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the scribes. They are

enslaved to sin the y'all listen right now, are y'all listener? They won't

get this. Jesus wasn't speaking to them of their ancestors being enslaved in Egypt.

Oh. No, he wasn't speaking of their ancestors being enslaved in Babylon

for seventy years. No, he was speaking about a different kind of bondage.

He was saying, you'll know the truth. Boys, you need to

listen to me. To you to speaking of himself. You need to listen

to me, and you'll know the truth, and the truth will liberate you.

And that's what these noble brethren of Maria. They realize there is one

man here, yes, and his message is different or come on that?

JUSTI beant because the majority's preaching in one manner and they're telling one side of

the story and not the whole story, does not make them right. There

can be a time that God uses one voice in the wilderness name Elijah,

of one voice in the wilderness named John the Baptist, or on one preacher

named the apostle Paul, to come to thissaline naikra, or to come to

Maria and go on down to Athens and have a problem with what's going on?

Are you believers of the New Testament or not? When they read the

Apostle Paul not a thislin knocka He went to Maria when they had escape of

a knight for Maria, he went to Athens. The Bible said that Silace

had stayed behind, and Apostle Paul stood there in Athens, and he wondered,

he is a silence. He thought silence would have followed him down there.

The Bible said, he said, word to silence, get yourself down

here. In One of his first matters of business. Worse was the challenge

the way of worship in after he come on. Now you can run a

man of call that out of work town, that he'll preach the same thing

that in another town. That you can run him an altar from work chang.

If he's another prophet, he'll preach the same thing that I can know

the church. If it's no longer he'll preach one team of this sign apartment,

then he'll preach the same thing or the other signment or the apartment.

Because of the word of call another changer, the dell change, the little

verbal persecution. Is it gonna change the way I dress? It's not gonna

change the way I believe. Because the world that gives to me, God

gave it to me. Jesus gave it to me, His word gave it

to me, and the devil cannot take it away. I love here preach.

I'm talking about having to work tonight as a little quiet, little more

quiet than normal. You see, Jesus had promised him freedom if they really

wanted it, to their freedom. And second Corinthians eight twelve, except for

if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a

man hath, and not according to that he hath, not as the believers

of Neo Bias day and asked the Bereans, these Corinthium believers who are being

preached to and written to by the apostle Paul. He they understood they had

to remain focused in their spiritual mission and their spiritual assignments. I'll preach it

again. I don't want to say again tonight on the noble brethren of Berea.

Again, I'm preaching tonight on the noble brethren of Bria. What is

your spiritual assignment? Is it to say amen from the pew? Is it

to testify? Is it to win the loss at any cost? What is

your spiritual assignment? Is it to make suit for the homeless tomorrows to wood?

And that's what it is, hope for the homeless team? What is

your spiritual assignment? What is your daily assignment? I feel the Holy ghost

in this place. Paul tells the Corinthians that if they have a willing mind,

they will be able to give in order to help the church in Jerusalem.

Brother Roquemp, I studied that in context that I did not necessarily see

where Apustle Paul commanded them to help their brother and sister, as in I

order you to send a certain dollar amount to the brethren in Jerusalem that are

suffering. But the man of God, the Apostle Paul, was telling them

where this revival originated. Headquarters is in Jerusalem, that is where the apostles

are, that is where the whole church is, And it would be wise

for you to them financially. It would be wise for you to send them

a card of encouragement. It would be wise for you to say, amen,

come on, let us what he's saying right here, y'all can look

at that in context later. But that scripture that must first have a willing

mind. Apostle Paul saying, you gotta have a heart to give. You

gotta have the right mindset. I've been helping some of you for some time.

Now change your mindset, change your outlook on things concerning the ministry,

change your mind concerning reaching the loss of open air evangelism. You see,

believers must first have the right mindset. They must have a willing mind.

They must have the right motives. I've seen people come to church before only

because we had a food banker. I've seen people come to church before only

because we gave an operas to those that we're needing. That's an Apostle Paul

said. But if you got the wrong mindset, you'll give to the church

to Jerusalem. You do it with integrity. Can I tell you the Holy

Gospel people are people on intangrity. The Marias had a genuine desire to the

truth and then listen to the truth. They come on now. They had

a genuine desire to be people off the truth. And that's when I sent

iteen Sa chapter number one in verse number twenty two a payphraseer. But if

you hear the truth, you ought to do the truth. And that's what

I believe in. Noble brethren of Maria were more noble than the burning of

diesilin Knocker, because that when they heard that, they get it. How

about you? Have you been seeking God? How I true? There have

you been feeling after God? How about truth? Have you been a duer?

There ain't no doubt you've heard old her. There ain't no doubt.

Your preachers preach that. There ain't no doubt, they say, God,

Dad, have you done that? The brands were receptive to the Word,

and they were active towards the things of God. Their minds were all the

things of the Lord. And it's gonna be on the Lord if you're pouring

his word in your heart. His word was in my heart like a fire

shut up in my bones. And I was weary with forbearing, and I

could not stay, David said, while I was musing the fire beginning to

burn within me. You know, if you sit in front of a TV,

or sit in front of YouTube and entertaining yourself all a on, it's

garbage in and then this garbage out, this garbage in and as garbage is.

That's probably what happened to these people, and this lunaika is that not

why there was a tumult as a result, because people just were not meditating

on what Paul was trying to preach. Hey, if they reject the words

of Paul, they don't reject the words of Journey. But you've got the

choice as an individual, Tyler, you got the choice as an individual.

Journey. You got the choice as an individual. Jonathan, will you accept

it or will you reject it? I'm talking to somebody here tonight. You

need to be looking for the scriptures, and you need to be looking for

the Lord and not looking for something or somewhere else. If you're unmarried,

Pack, you need to seat the Lord. Will you seek the sconser,

w you need a house. You need to seek the Lord. I said

you need to put cod first, John Jackter number six and verse number sixty

seven. Jesus said to the twelve, will you go away Offso? Will

you go away? Officer? So I understand this. Unless you think too

highly of yourself, understand this. Most rejected the preaching and Noah, most

of what it's called the devout Jews of Thessalonika, those of the synagogue,

the religious sort rejected Paul. People rejected Peter, and Peter could pass by

his shadow cast upon the sick it cause him to rise up. Now,

I have preached a lot of sound doctrine tonight. I've given you a lot

that you want. But this lets me know how vulnerable you are, to

know that you're sitting under my ministry. And then I'm preach the sermons as

led by the Holy Ghost, and to realize, when it gets right down

to it, you will choose. It will be up to your mind and

your mindset whether you choose to do right or choose to do wrong. I

have told the Howell Boys for years. I said, do not talk like

a gay person. Do not act like a gay person, no matter how

excited you get. Do not feign yourself to be gay, because the Bible

said, fools make a market. See. I have fallen out with so

called Christian comedians, and I can name them, but I choose not to

do so tonight on this podcast and in this sermon. But I have shunned

them and refrain from listening to them because their comedic nature is different. And

if you will about definition, queer is strange. They are odd and peculiar

and somewhat laughable because of their effeminacy, how feminine they are, and the

way they say things and the way they flick their wrists. And so I

can exhort all I want to, and we can refuse to not assemble.

We can assemble, we can gather together, we can come together, but

if we don't listen, if we don't do what we have heard, That's

what these bareans were doing. They became students of the scripture. They became

devout. That's why they became a noble brethren. My sister Room said tonight,

you won't have to worry about the pastor telling you praise the Lord if

you've read the entire book of Psalms repeatedly, or read the entire book of

Proverbs, or sister how and I have done multiple times in the last six

weeks, and I preached the Lord out of the book of Soalves. If

you study that book of Salve, you feel like a sinner, a hypocrite.

If you go into the house of the Lord without praising the Lord.

It's very troubling of my spirit and causes me to tremble spiritually when I realize

it all hinges on your mind. It all hinges on your choices. Take

that index finger, if you will point it right here at your mind.

You must have the mind to do right. You must have the mind to

do something for God. It needs to originate and shadow you. But if

cop for did it takes a preacher to awaken your understanding. Don't reach up

that counsel and that knowledge. Don't reach up there and pull the string on

that lamp and turn that light off. I'm telling you God is speaking the

son of this building tonight. You only hope is that your mindset changes.

The only hope is that you realize it really is what Holy goot speaking through

the preacher, he really lost, Sister Root, speak about the Holy Ghost

to life, what a red it lost? Sister Holler, speak of all

the Holy girls, horicond that God Jesse, he really did have the mind

of God to tell Even if that preacher, all that teacher, all the

air noddles in your pissness up, You've got that get to your eye tech

within your hall and the roles. You can't start missing church just because somebody

said something. You know, like, fuck, that's what the people.

What tussle. I'm not take you what a distance between me and that preacher?

Then I want to feel guilty about what I'm doing. I was still

that way. I said, I gotta go over, know all that preacher.

I gotta go. Well, no, you're preaching the truth. What

everybody's preaching. Why that boy's preacher and not everybody's preaching the truth? I

heard it, dear brother, say, three or four more years ago.

He said that a man that worked on air conditioners came to his church to

work on air conditioners. I believe it was air conditioners they were working on.

And he said, this man began to say, thirty thirty five years

ago, when preachers preach, they preach, they hold the row. They

put everything they had in it. The Holy Gold spoke through them as the

oracles of God. You could tell God was on them. They got sweaty,

they kicked their heels. They preach. He said, they used to,

They used to, they used to, and that holyness. Pentecostal preacher

said, what do you mean they used to. You're at one of them

churches right now. You know what's interesting to me. God opened the book

and showed him that God has not changed, but there are still people preaching

the way. He remembered it that in his mind, when it come time

for church, he won't gonna drive twenty minutes to be in what he said

he wanted to be in again. He didn't want really, he didn't want

to go. Understand what I'm saying. Since the houseman saying she wants Chinese

food, lord willing to bar, I'm gonna try forty minutes to get her

Chinese food at a sun restaurant if you really wanted you to real get it.

Honey, are you in this house tonight? I'm telling you who should

be up? They'll put this preacher no. When you've closed all. What

are we searching after? Besides the Lord? The search scripture? And I

think I looked at this sign. I've seen some hear the words of truth

turn on their heels and walk away from it because their minds were made up

about what they were going to do and how they were going to live.

I remember when the preachers started preaching to me thirty years ago. I heard

some things that he said that I had not heard before. That's what these

Bereans were saying. Paul saying, some things I have not heard before.

Hey, I'm more interested than the beard patrol is your beard. I'm more

interested in the truth than the beard patrol is and your beard. I'm more

interested in why people are not reaching the loss at any cost. I'm more

interested in why people aren't praying before church anymore, why people are having to

be bagged and praise the Lord, why people are having to be told they

must be soul winners in order to make it to heaven. I'm interested in

figuring out what the world's wrong with the church than assigning a beard patrolling to

go around. They never can't meeting and them every man is wearing a beard

to hem that for the fools out there, I'm said, how I believe

or how I feel about anything tonight, I'm telling you we've got some weightier

matters that we've got to deal with. We've got some gossip goblins, We've

got some gen and there roomless, We've got some troublemakers with destinal life up.

You're causing a tomorrow. Then, the holiness of Penecostal church is not

counseling my God. It staring up people against one or another. We've got

souls to win that we got people of reach. They're peopling up college.

They's suffering college. Hold on pilot, must coat it, popop The idea

or something might go against the grain of your opinion and your ideology and your

mindset. But if it's the grain of the Bible, you must embrace it.

And if you get a splinter in the process, ask God to help

you remove the moat or the beam out of your eye, because we cannot

go against the grain of the Bible. Their idea went against the grain of

the Bible. Their will went upstream to the current of the Holy Ghost.

But they were going to do it even if they contradict the scripture. And

I have had people before walk kind of services after speaking to me after the

older service and say, Preacher, it was anointed, it was powerful,

and it was the word. But quite frankly, I don't care what the

Bible said. And Brother Nathaniel, when they don't care what the Bible says,

That's what I'm dealing with here tonight. I'm preaching a message titled the

Noble Brethren of Brea. They had a readiness of mind concerning knowing and keeping

the teachings of Jesus Christ and Paul they searched the scriptures daily, and they

believe these things to be true. Every word of God is perfect, Every

word of God is true. It proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Brother jessephter like the Holy Ghost. Just for baby from going any further.

As you come to the piano, Baby stand tonight, young person, young

adult. We can demonstrate to you the word. We can personalize it for

you, we can exemplify it. We could be a living example. Apostle

Paul could even say, following me as I follow Christ. But quite frankly,

not everybody followed Apostle Paul. Some rand him out on the rail.

How about you, sir, How about you, ma'am? It don't make

sense to you. Have you searched the scripture. Well, what I'm gonna

do is I'm just gonna run Apostle Paul off. If I can't run him

off, all round myself shy. Some of these things come natural, That's

what brother Steric, Sister Whoop said tonight. Praising him comes natural for the

believer. If you believe the Word of God, it mandates and commands you

to praise him be praise it. But Brother Gable, the fact that my

soul has been spared from hell is enough for me to praise him. The

fact that he gives me a breath every couple seconds of every single day of

every single year, Brother Jeremi, demands that I praise him. The fact

that he gives me new mercies every morning. That demands that I serve him

and spare that in truth, faithfully, with consistency, regularly. He deserves

nothing but the best. And I want to point out to you and enclose

it. These men were noted by Luke the Beloved Physician, the author of

the Book of Acts. After interviewing so many people, the conclusion of the

investigation was this, the bread brethren are noble. They have a noble cause.

And may our calls always be noble. It may our priority be the

winning of souls, but bre and brethren, and may we never be bitter,

May we be blameless, and next may we be beloved of the Lord,

and may we have Bible holdiness. I believe in holdiness. It's anonymous

with sanctification and separation. I believe in description that said come up from wheer

the world be separated. I believe in there being a difference. There is

a difference between goats and sheep. There is a difference between weed and terms.

I believe the people of God can be picked out of a crowd.

And I also believe that God knows the heart. And I believe not every

religious person, whether they be Hindoo, Pharisees, chrib Benecostal, Baptists,

Holiness, Presbyterian, and what denomination they're affiliated with. I believe Jesus knows

what's on the heart. And Brother Thomas stared out of the butts of the

heart. The mouse spearings, and when that mouse speaks, it's not promoting

Jesus. You know what we should be preaching Jesus and him crucified. Do

you know the primary purpose of these brea and brethren and sisters. They were

trying to make sure Jesus was the Messiah. Jesus is the Messiah. They

concluded that's what they had to accept. Jesus was the Messiah. And so

this synagogue of Judaism is going to be a house of Christianity. How about

it? Tonight? Will this message change your life? Will you change course?

Will you allow your mindset to be changed? Tonight? Can we bow

our heads everybody which you open your hearts and minds, to the truth,

not to my word, but to the words of Jesus, to the Spirit

of God. Not to my spirit, but to the Spirit of God.

If you would say with me by raising that hand, preacher, I see

tonight, how I could improve that my spiritual won't raise your hand hands already

going up one, two, three, four, five, six, seventy

nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,

seventeen, eighteeneteen, twenty, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three,

twenty four, and twenty five out of sixty. I tell you what,

let's do. Let's just find a place to pray with open hearts,

honest hearts, open minds, and just say, Holy ghost is he's noble

brethren of Brena. I want to search my heart, David said, search

me God, search me and try me know my thoughts. You know?

But now said, and you know my UPRISI you know me, Lorna,

you know me better than anybody. Victim the W three the word. I

want to know and keep the tensions of Jesus Christ. Help me to have

a readiness of God. Help me, God, help me Lord, As

Peter said, to whom shall we go as an eel, I expressed,

because of long we must build. There must be a standard for the people

of God, a moral standard, some sort of dress code that's different than

the world's, some sort of standard of truth and righteousness, a biblical standard,

a biblical standard. Let God be true and let every man be on

God. Give me a bond for the Bible. Help me to receive the

world with all readiness of body. Help me to be receptord to the teaching

other preachers, other preacher regarding the word of God. How about it?

Will you be like the little brethren Y gave me? Sing it, sing

it. It's writing Gord evil the man in each beausy I read hell beyonders.

I feel like the Lord would have me tell you. It's up to

you. What will you do? It's up to you. Will have to

change your heart, a change of byes. Will you brace Jesus dootic bush

Cust's call again some further time, some people, and I know it just

came on esday. How you go along and give me an It's hard to

explain. I'm not complayn bay or are strong agad? I follow hoppy Sun.

Just how that w rey Brosted. It's so not go bety I followed

Oh Betty Sun
