Success Guaranteed - Bro Jeremy Howell 9-26-2023

Will you turn with me to the Book of Zachariah. May I direct your

attention to the fourth chapter and the sixth verse. Brother Nathaniel, would you

turn the second Peter, chapter number three and read to us verse number nine

momentarily, Brother jesse John, chapter number fifteen and verse number five. Okay,

Brother Nathaniel, would you read that Second Peter three and nine. The

Lord is not slack concerning his promises, as some men count slackness, but

is long suffering to us. Were not willing that any should perish, but

that all should come to repentance. Say, man, I believe that.

Don't you believe that, Brother jesse John, Chapter number fifteen and verse number

five. I am the vine. He are the branches. He that abideth

in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit.

For without me ye can be nothing. Amen. Let's stand for the reading

of our golden texts for tonight's message that the Lord has put upon my heart

for this people of the Lord. Zechariah chapter number four and verse number six.

The Bible said, then he answered and spake unto me, saying this

is the word of the Lord, unto Zerubbable, saying not by might nor

by power, but by my spirit saith, the Lord of Hosts, would

you pray with me tonight, Heavenly Palter, we think and we praise you

for the opportunity to be in the house of the Lord when people of lie

precious faith. I thank you Lord, right precious visitors. I thank you

Lord for those home folk that were unable to make it tonight do to work,

and I pray that you would help them and be with them and bless

them right where they are at. I pray God that you would annoint this

thy servants, set a guard at my mouth, and 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 spirit

saith unto the church. We pray through this word of God, not by

my own words, Lord Lord, but through Thy word. I pray that

these sayings would go below the shoulder. Lord, don't let it just be

in the head or going through one ear and out the other. Let it

go below the shoulder. Let these words get into heart in the spirit,

even in the mind. We pray we would be not only hears, but

that we would be doers. Help us to hear and heed, and may

we depart this place joyful and not sorrow ply in Jesus name. Hey ma'am

amen. Reading our text again, Zichariah, chapter number four and verse number

six, the Bible says, then he answered and speaking to me, saying

this is the word of the Lord, unto the rebable, saying, not

by might nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of

Hosts. Our text is found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible,

the Book of Zechariah. Pray for me tonight as I endeavor to please

the Lord through preaching from a verse of scripture located in this small book of

the Bible. The brevity of this writing is quite significant because it appears this

grandson of a prophet had a powerful connection with the Lord and had so much

to say to God's precious people. It seemed to me, like brother Nathaniel,

that hearing a serve and preach from this book of the Bible is almost

as rare as the signing of an Albano peacock or an Albao crocodile. You

just do not hear preachers preach out of this book of the Bible. Anymore.

In fact, it is true that a lot of preachers are overlooking a

lot of critical scriptures that are found in this book of the Bible that are

very pertinent to the person that professes to be a Christian, including the scripture

that said, let everyone that nameth the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

So, even though a sermon being preached out of this Book of Zechari

is as rare as a ball of lightning, like some sea pairing men have

seen appear just a few feet above the level of the sea, or like

some farmers have seen hover over their field at times, a physical, literal

ball of lightning, even though a servant preached out of this Book of Zechari

is almost as rare as that nature is full of surprises, and God is

full of surprises. I was not surprised, though, when the Law began

to deal with me regarded this book of the Bible. In the early morning

hours this morning, God pulled this particular book out of the divine library of

sixty six books. That he pointed my attention to it and said, studying

this book until something stands out to you. And of course, this verse

is very familiar to the Bible student, or the Bible reader, that one

that desires to study, to show themselves approved under God, workman that needeth

not to be ashamed. Rightly dividing the word of truth, those dividers among

us, not the dividers of the House of God, not the dividers those

that so discord from the brethren, but those that rightly divide the word of

truth. Those preachers among us, the pastors, the evangelists, the mission

there is, and the teachers, even the fathers that are the head of

their old household, have noticed at times this particular scripture we have heard and

often recited during our service. As we've heard Sunday school teachers mentioned it at

times that they've encouraged the people of God with the words of our golden text.

But you know what, as you read this book of the Bible,

you see this book it's just charkful of powerful words that would encourage any child

of God. Is a powerful writing. I'm not sure why it is so

often overlooked by so many ministers. Zachar Right might have been a young man,

But as I studied his writing, say, I saw proof pousingtive that

this young man was In fact, it touched with the Lord. Just like

the early leaders of the Christian Church. The early Christian Church was led by

young men. Some scholars have said that these men were in their mid twenties

and in their early thirties when they begin the preacher to the world Jesus Christ

crucified, buried, and resurrected, and a Lord and savior to every person

within humanity, both pastor present and future. I wrote this young generation.

If I could borrow the number fifty to nine and say that every person at

the age of fifty and younger is a young person. You know why I

put that number, Because if I got it high enough, why I'm preaching

to you. I could feel as young as Secondariy was. I can feel

as young men as these apostles were that were preaching the word of God.

You see, the spear of God had come into their life, and it

was like a sparkle thrown to a powder kid. The revival was born,

a sick revival was born right care of wherever they were at the spirit of

revival it took home faster than achieve of running to repel, faster than a

lion in pursuit of his prey. The spirit of the revival had been unleashu

and loosed within humanity can in the heart of one creature, a cad in

the heart of one church, can in one room called the upper room.

And second riot had something to say that prior to that, he went to

the people of his generation. He said, it won't come by mine,

it won't come by power, but it will come by the spirit of the

Lord of Host. This young man, Zechariah, was a man that was

very familiar with hardship. In fact, his grandpa that was a priest and

a prophet, had brought his family, including Zechariah, back into the land

of Israel. This young man would have experienced a radical change during his childhood.

He was allowed to return to the whole land that his grandpa and his

daddy had spoke so fondly. Uh Jesse, I wrote to tell brother this

generation that revival has not been shut out from you. This revival that I

preached up tonight has not been shut out from the old wife and your children.

It seemed not the generation of for use. Accidentally, I'm intentionally close

the door on revival to this generation. The like sicker Raya. I want

to check up the door open and tell Hackey and other people that they're at

the church in the Israel, that we're coming home for reply that every protical

side have a prodical daughter that comes home does not have to fight the empty

house. They did not have to fight when there's the bread. I said,

this bread, but not as fair for every person. Every person we

come back from Babylon, Sister, how and I did so to speak some

of you can say would come back from Egypt these says where lots had been

in exile for about seventy years. The people professed that they along to the

Lord, but they had been in captivity and in bondage. Brother Nathaniel,

no doubt there was some that had attempted to escape the hands of their capture.

But during the days of Moses they would have been unsuccessful in their attempt

to escape Pharaoh. And is a gypsum hits man, because on one side

is the crocodile invested the Nile River, while on the other side is the

Red Sea. What in the world is the user in trying to make up

an escape? I would only be unsuccessful in that attempt. The mother chairman

preaching the knither or successor guaranteed when the spirit of God comes here enough to

the equation a crocodile Charles means nothing to a baby Moses. Fuck that in

also up for Russia, the spirit of God when they find a Sunday and

Mighty received. I'm telling you we need the spirit of revival. We need

the spirit of a tized in this generation. That's what we need. The

spirit of God began to move on Cyrus and on his ert Ses, and

then men in this time of captivity for the people of God, and they

actually receive release papers. And not only do they really receive release papers,

but it's just at some point men like Neahmiah and the Etra, the prophet

contemporaries somewhat to have the eye and Zachariz they say, I've got papers in

my hand, and not only repair the wall, but I've got a promise

of prosperity. I could be on the wall and we could finish building the

temple. Do you think with me that the excitement of Sacchariah when he comes

home and he expects everybody to make a goal that building the temple, oh

in to find her that hey, God is discouraged because the men have got

discouraged building the temple. Know why they got discouraged building the temple because they

let to the unleven come into the house bread. I said, what part

to that he that does not get cast to have anything to do with him?

What part hath belah la Christ? Can salt and fresh waterfow out of

the same fountain? What about sweet and bitter? What about he that believes

in Jehovah and he that believeth not in Jehovah? Can they have conversation?

Can they reach agreement for conversation? Can they have concord and discord that comes

into the perfect unified experienced brother just said no. You see, these israel

lights had begun to lead the foundation, but Mother roadkap because they allowed pagan

participation. They became a decision among the people, and their king ordered them

to see some construction on the temple because on the confusion within the kingdom.

I want to tell our young men enough that our young preachers something. Don't

worry about bringing in the world to have revival. Don't worry about compromising in

order to have revival. You don't after that if unclean, imployer, I'm

holder, people helped you build your journey. So if I whatever they permit

in it these unholy construction workers to help them in their building. If I

am a preacher, I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd work h work

on the building and keep on preaching to If I was a drunkard, I'll

tell you what I do. I quit all my drinking and to work on

the building too. Goather Nathaniel, what I think about these people had allowed

Pagans to participate in the reconstruction of the temple. I know very well.

Rock construction or the reconstruction of the temple came to a swift it. Oh

come on now, oh y'all get what I'm saying. They're right here.

Even those second Riot was hopeful about the reconstruction or the rebuilding of the temple.

He knows that it's gonna take holy people. You know what you've got

to high When you have holy people, you gotta have spiritual feel people.

Because it they are not spirit feel and holding us lad, they will never

be holding us people. Huh. Oh, God, I'll feel the holy

guds in this place. God is trying to send revival to his people.

God did send revival to his people in this generation. I see it.

I saw it happened in my life. It's sister Hales's life. I've seen

it happening, Brother Gabriels, and Sister Canvas's life. There was some of

you that raise your hand and said, I was not raised holding us,

But I got here as quick as I could. I will tell you that

success is guaranteed when you align yourself with the commandments of God, and you

keep his commandments of and you allow the spirit of God, the genuine spirit

of God, to move in. Are the live this young proper and propert

knows we're gonna do it different. I believe that we can have a nation

that has been a restored. We can be successful guaranteed if we do what

Carta set the dude, there will be a total complete restoration of the temple.

And you know what, when you get a building and its cots are

cleaned, if their phone and no he not, that's your body is the

temple of the Holy gusta hispirit listing you. And when a spiritual is there,

whatever spirit comes in a contact with it revives, it renews, it

restorers, it retubernates, and it satisfies. This young proper knows that if

this nation is going to be successful in a sleep restoration of all things,

then their person must be a revival, a national revival, and that there

is going to be a national reply blah. Then before that experience such as

an earth or a press shaking, the life changing revival, there must be

repentant. So if it's gonna be a national revival, there must be national

repentance. If it's gonna be a personal revival, and we can guarantee success

of the dock, then you can control that. You can't control what jos

A. Biden does with this country for the most part, but you can't

control what the devil does with you and your family. So Zechari says,

you know what you guys, they raiding on my parade. I may be

a young preacher, but I'm going to have and spirits second tonight. Honey.

We weren't raised this, honey. We're newly back into this, honey.

But we're going there, honey. Just trust me. We're going there

and it's gonna be worth it. I remember when I told sister Howl,

just go with me and let's make or go out of town and see what

God does with a howl man that I want you to know it was stop

by our by. It was stopped by our power. It was stopped by

the strength of impermental through family. It was not by the authority of an

overseer. It was stopped by the authority on the zert Sees or Cyrus.

But it was because of the spirit of God. I said, it was

because or the spirit of God. Thank you Cyrus, Thank God the zer

Sees for your power, Thank you for your authority. Thank with me.

On the text, remember it recited with me running or not by might nor

by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord. And it doesn't

stop there, the Lord of Host, this is what sacarize, sayth we

have left the land of Babylon, where the emperor that ruled the world had

lived, where the ones that took his place, where those that over through

him took his place. We have left that place where there was might,

where there was power, where there was strength, and where there was authority,

and where there still is power, and where there still is strength.

But God is saying, you cannot look at what they got. You cannot

rely upon what they got to help you. You don't need to construct some

materials that come out of Babylon. You don't need the construction materials that come

out of the worldly church. I don't need a prop machine. I don't

need some trauma queens and trauma kings having a trauma's shoulder on the platform.

We come on. Now tell you getting this up. I only need.

Here's the power of God. I don't need the ATHI takes that TV takes

something that's old, old Steve the cook himself. That's all I need.

Is he authoriti come alby to God, tells a riverb. Not by not

by the power of the authority of or of Cyrus or his ear Cheeson.

Tell Moses, not by Pharaoh. You've been Pharaoh's grandson, Moses, not

by that power, not by the name of Hey, Pharaoh of socially such

was my grandpa Hey. I used to eat at the table of unrew Pharaoh's

daughter. I refused to call her mama. Somebody out of putting their finger

in the face of the devil and say you ain't my mama. Now I'm

telling you, Moses told Barrow's daughter, you ain't my mama. And that's

what I told the world without nothing, almost thirty years ago, seek and

tired to see and seek and tired to being a prodigal son and daughter.

I said, this world is not my home, and the devil's not my

mama. I have no a teacher. I'm going back to bah bah Lad.

I have no a teacher. I'm going back to the Egypt. And

something arise letting her know. He and kurts that we can have a temple

here. He at curch her we could have a church here. There's nothing

to go back to those clubs. There's nothing to go back to lyon dancing.

There's nothing to go back to the showy big belt buckles. There's nothing

to go back to my wish many skirts. There's nothing in this world worth

going back to. Success is not guaranteed. In this world. The prodigal

son found out there was no guaranteed success. And that's what Secrediz is saying.

We've got guaranteed success if we have the spirit of God, Oh God,

We're gonna be in this house in a night. They're a true genuine

revival takes place in a manner was a woman's bussom. We're in the church's

bussom. There is going to be an expulsive revival in that community. It's

only a matter a time. But to it spreads a lot of fire.

Oh, it can't happen. It's been sixty years since we've heard of something

like that happened. It's already happened. Jonathan Win that you get the Holy

Ghost February twenty twenty three. I saw it again in your life. When

you get married, that farm begin to spread. Huh when did you get

the Holy ghost? Brother Samuel, February what fifth, twenty twenty three.

He went from being unstable, was one or spiritually or come on? Some

of you went from being up and down. He headed out walking into spirit,

not obeying the lust of the pleasure. And then some of you get

out of the spiritual and obey them pleas when lost time. But now that

he lives in you, I see such a rubble transportation. The cause of

the power of God and the mighty on the church was not un God but

the tarte a one of the tier, and said he lived on his spirit

upon old pleasure. Isn't enough one to let me know my kids can have

him and suk at yours suk at nors. The church can be built,

the church can grow, box slaughters can come home and they don't have to

be pushed in. They come running. Is I know what happened to you,

brother Gabriel. About fifteen months ago, somebody said do you know him?

I said, no, I don't know him at the church. I

said, who are you and where do you come from? He said,

I was raised in an Hispanic holding this Pentecostal church, and I've been looking

for what I had found here at Bethel, and I'm glad I found it.

He said, I'm looking for what I remember as a wee lad.

I remember the spirit of God being in the services. I remember the revival.

I remember the sinner's praying that and coming on squeaky clean. I'm not

accepting that. And I refused to accept that what is out there, I'll

travel an if I got to get One time, I said, even with

you, whatever you got to do the kids, whether spirit but God is

out. If you need revivable, oh pillow the ghosts, we can have

it. It's for us. It wasn't just for the apostles. Jesus spoke

correctly. When he looked at Peter. It's recording as Second Peter, chapter

number three, in verse number nine. Evidently, at some point brother Nathaniel

the Lord had told Peter, and Peter preached this to all of the churches.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promises, as some men count slackness,

but is long supper towards us, not willing that any sent parish,

but that all shall come to repentance. What do you them do with the

word? All that lets me know, Brother Jesse, who saw it a

little, let him cough, I's willing to see anybody that parents, sister,

would your grandson? Oh no, it's God, the Holy Ghost Sunday

night. This lets me know that every person in this fielding could have the

Holy Ghost. Why he calls God? It's not swiple cood suny his promises.

The apostle Peter was telling the church of his day and today. Don't

you believe the scripture? All of it is profitable for ductor for correction,

for reproof that all of the commandments of the Word of God are for each

and every one of his children. The apostle peters telling the church of his

day and today that the Lord has not neglected his bride. Peter, The

Lord has not neglected his bride. The apostle Peter was married. You will

rEFInd that in scripture, the apostle Peter did not neglect his right brother Philip

point that you're bride to me. What's her name? Alistath Brother Danny Edwards

wants to make sure that there never comes a time in your life when you

will neglect your bride whether Philip, I don't believe there will ever be a

time in your life when you will neglect your bride. Now you want to

listen to me. Peter was talking to this early church and saying, you

feel like God has delayed his coming. Now you feel like the Lad's not

gonna come anytime soon. And what Peter saying, the Holy Ghost told him

that one day is when the Lad has a thousand. That's in the prior

verse to that with brother Jesse, and he's basically saying that the Father is

verciful. I said, the Father is merciful. He wants to see one

man pray. He wants to see one man just SACTI vine. He wants

to see one more church the spirit Lad, that spirit feel that is why

the Father has had practice di fide delay. It's stop that he's not ready.

It's not that he doesn't want to come now, it's that he wants

to save mother. It's that he wants to save this that he wants the

same. But everybody, he said, it's blood for if you died for

the entire human race, would you want to collect on me? If you

got cattle right say, you've got five hundred cattle, a thousand and they

all belong to you. Are you gonna be okay when the harvester comes and

says, I'm the big bar for when Dixie, I'm buying right now.

I'm buying right now, right now, and all I need is three hundred

and we gotta leave with the mother seven hundred thousand out there. You know

what the rancher's gonna do, Brother Jonathan, He's gon say, hey,

can't we just tearry just a little bit longer? Still wouldn't get the whole

thousand? Oh come on, just one soul? Is it more value over

than the world itself. I don't know what the minerals and the salt minds,

in the diamond minds, in the inner minds of worth. I don't

know what to cut on a thousand, ten thousands in peels or worth,

but I know that one soul is more valuable than all of that if you

were to access the value of the world, including every resource of natural resource,

of natural gas, natural team, natural tool, whatever, the value

would be just one soul sees us what a died for. It is tearing

for water more soul. Why don't we call on the spirit of corn and

as time to see a reply for to us, that we might be able

to be the instrument of repla for a second, Rio was that saying,

I'm gonna make said there's a charch for my daddy to come to. I'm

gonna make sure there's a charch for my act to to. That's what Zachara

I said. We need your church, Mama. Don't you think about going

back. Don't you think about going back. I'll come too far to turn

back. I told the Lord, I said, I will not sacrifice my

boys to Nashville. I was praying one night and I heard the devil say,

I'll send Nashville after your sons. It wasn't but about two years later,

And this is the God's honest truth. I made a connection with a

scout in Nashville, and he wanted us to go fishing with him on Lake

OKACHOWI can I tell you that as an appointment we never kept. You've heard

of the preacher from Kentucky that is compromised in the last twenty five thirty years

and traveling around preaching and seeing it all over the world. I ran into

him and Fort Myers at the Cracker Barrel. He said, pastor, help,

you'll go with me to the big mega church up the road and bring

your musicians, and y'all come and sing and preach and testify and help me

push that revival. I will be very thankful for your time and for the

time of your sons and your musicians. You know what we said, no,

sir, no thank you, no ma'am. And that's what they did

here. They used pagans to help them build a temple. I'm talking about

a true revival, not in a counterfeit revival. I'm talking about a revival

that people come out of. Brother Jonathan's no longer struggling and listen to country

music. My son's no longer struggling with Luke cons Oh, come on now,

thank God, and these young men. I'll testify of a power that

was putting us this steal, like the power and the Holy Ghost. Cynicize

till you try that all cases to say that the Lord as good. I

knew what it was to get delivered instantly. For country music. I knew

when the spirit of God came in. Our pastor played cuntry music on his

cassette player, on his stereo. In his automobile. He had country Western

senior CDs in his struck. He wouldn't preach it against country music. But

God got to deal with me as a young man. You know what it

was, sister. The Lord was not slack concerning his promises that he would

pour out his spirit upon all pleasure in the last days. And that's what

Jesus told Peter. He said, you're clear, But upon this frock,

I will build my church, and I can't. Some hell shall not prevail

a kiss. Their shafferad never heard that they'll words, But he can say

the painting people coming to help her cause the work to see so our desert

seasoned cyrus could not help us. So, but when the spirit of God

had got to movement, we were able to build us people out of mind

on her. Listen to the spirit of God that ditson Jonathan, He'll throw

the little colts out. He'll throw it out. I said it. The

real look experience of God is in somebody's heart. He will get delivered the

spirits by this world. If I hadn't got delivered from that spirit it's behind

country music. I know that my five sons would not be sanctified musicians on

this platform tonight. I love. How do you know who Luke Combs is?

Because I was sitting in a restaurant and I heard something I never hear,

Sister, how can tell you when God delivered me from that kind of

music? It had such a hold on me, Brother Jeremiah. A lot

of times when we're in a restaurant, it doesn't matter how loud it is,

I don't hear it. But I heard an announcer talking about Luke Combs

and said, it's just like the world has gotten him up. It's just

like there's a spirit behind him. How did this man seemingly come out of

nowhere and become a house whole name? I told, sister, how who

is this guy? I mean? When we were out of sin it was

Arthur Brooks. I'm telling my ages now, Vince Kill and you know I'm

telling our ages now. It was Travis, Trent, Conway, Kenny and

they even Kenny Rogers man. But I said, who is this guy?

Don't you believe? The spirit gets into some of them celebrities and they get

em a powered ill, a powered to do what they're doing, to make

people do the things that they do. Have the PA they won't mustn't got

in church, but they'll kiss Taylor Smiths people. They'll kiss who calls com

Why the kiss? Not what? People to go? The Lord was not

slackened concerning his promise. He told us to how and I'll go to LaBelle,

Florida and Pioneer Church. I said, Lord, ain't nobody down there.

There's no holiness people anywhere around. I don't know what to do.

He said, take your family of a and go to La Belle, Florida

and Pioneer, a hole iness church, and there's people this building that knows.

We had less than seven or eight people. For a couple of years,

we fasted and we prayed. We were persecuted things as some of our

office were destroyed from people breaking into the church and break it into my office

because they did not like the fact that drug dealers were getting saved and drug

users were no longer buying their merchandise. Come on, now, I'm telling

you. There's a spirit in this world that hates holiness. That's why some

of our relatives and kin people do not understand. Why are you through your

preachers now in the college, they were no longer put him on. But

first of all, it's none of their pasts. I wish they were nearly

as bold with the Muslim women as they are the Holiness women. The indifference

is they know them holding a man won't be heading like the Muslim man will

be head and so they just flapped him jaws. I want to stay sweet

rapping. But whenever the church starts having real revival, the people this world

will not understand it. Friend and foe will not understand it. But I

am not having revival for them. I'm having a revival for me. And

if he gets up on them, wonderful. But Joshua was set, guys,

after everything God's done for you. I know we passed through some pagan

lands. I know you picked up some practices here and there on how they

worshiped their painted deities in them high places. But he said, as for

me and miss Joshua, will give me a kiss, honey, And then

they kissed him. I'm paraphrase said he said, but as for me,

in my house, we will serve the Lord. I don't care if they

bok the hold in this people. I don't care if they bark up the

spirit put people hold it does their power with people. I'm not tearing my

clothes off. I'm drawing them. That Luke calls who looks like a reject

from patrol factory. And Luke, if you hear this, may God save

the soul. And maybe you put that talent to proper use and made the

spirit of revival get a hold of either save your soul because of God's not

willing that any ship pairs. I mean, when I was in Sin,

it was there's a tear in my beer because I'm crying for you. Here's

a corner. Call someone who cares. Now, it's just to how I

can't even hardly get a barber of care cut the barbershop anymore, from just

how absolute filth being pumped into that barbershop through the stereos system, that that

owner has blairing in that barber shop. That's why that God gave the church

a barber brother saying that you cut eleven head, it's a hair yesterday.

God bless you and he must have blessed your pocket. But for that,

wow, So God has blessed you. But I remember, sister, how

when we came down here, it's just a handful of us. I went

to a camp meeting out of state. I came to the front serve at

the church. Brother Nathaniel knelt right on the platform, literally collapsed, and

I said, Lord, I said, I don't know really that very many

people in this building known me. But I gave up a good job to

come down here and try to pioneer a holding his church. We're living holy

to the best of our knowledge. We're trying to do the best we can,

and the church just ain't growing. We're spirit filled, we're spirit led.

That's why we're here. But as of crying my eyes out, I

was not wanted to cry, But I just told the Lord, I said,

should I leave? Should I give up? But I know it was

you, Lord, and brother just yester to quote the scripture God gave me

when I came down here, Justice twelve. The Lord said to Abraham,

get up from among the old people, that old Kindred are going to a

land, and I should show you. Not ten seconds into that, a

preacher from another state come by. He put his hand on my back.

There is no way he knew what I was praying in my spirit. And

here's what he quoted. The Lord is not slack concerning his promises as some

men count slackness. Oh my God in heaven he was so sweet to me.

My spirit was in courage. I was revived. I didn't tell anybody

about it. Came back down here and got the hammering around, hammering away.

At a church house tonight, there's about sixty one or sixty two that

regularly called me pastor, then regularly at ten mercy service right here, and

come on, sucker, right, that's right. The stir of God said

it. God's gonna do something with it. I said, at the skirt

of God, who's in it. It's not by Pi, it's not by

Pila, It's by his spirit. There's nothing whatsoever attractive about anything that is

bland. I'll not promote flamboyance or receiving the spirit of an attention devil.

You were in a pink suit for having a drama team in here, flashing

lights, smoke, screen five screen you on this joke. But Brother Nathaniel

and Brother Rode Camp, there's nothing whatsoever drawing about a bland church service.

Now, I made a deal one time with this gentleman that was first battist,

and I have no idea why one is. It's the only time I

ever made that mistake, and I'll never make it again, if God will

please be my helper. But I was trying to witness to him and win

him over to the Lord because of his addictions. They were numerous. But

he told me he was saved, and I felt like if we could get

in a spirit field and it's where the people of God were spirit led,

he could see the air of his ways and come to the knowledge of repentance

and find the truth and be set free. He said, I'll tell you

what. After years of doing this to him, actually he said, you

good church with me, Our good church with you. I said, you

got your something deal. Well, first things first, I got trouble with

my pastor because I had to lay out of church because they were never having

revival. Hello, I couldn't go on it off night like tonight. They

had the same service we had Sunday morning, Sunday night, midweight and Wednesday.

There was no ways I had to miss our church. I got troubled

our pastor and with the Baptist Church, and I've definitely backslid at that point.

They'd let anything worldliness compromise and they just dead had a name, but

was dead. And I said, you know, if I had attended here,

i'd still be dead and backslip. But I remember the night I got

saved. I came to a revival. Oh you ain't getting us to night

revival, revival revival, this piano playing long haired boys said on the back

pew with his fiance decked out to a t. I came looking for something

that I had saw in a little holiness woman for many years as a child.

That night, I came looking for the real, genuine power God.

If it happened to be there, sister, how night is still being the

honky tonks, We'd still be dancing in the clubs. Her brother was the

djatt, we'd still be on roller skates in the rollerskate ring. But I

had seen that little holy roller woman all them years on the second peal of

the right hand side of the church, and I always said, if and

when I get it, I'm gonna get exactly what she has. And I

did that in October of nineteen ninety four, nineteen ninety two. I walked

into a little church house, a country church, and Brother Tyler hadn't have

been dead, My soul hadn't got saved. The old Black Brothers used to

sing, I wish somebody's soul would catch on fire, Catch on fire,

catch on fire. I dare say, had you, as the prodigal,

come to this church that night and knots found what you were looking for,

if you'd still be in search of the truth, I'm saying repliable started here

in the Bell, Florida, with Warren Man and obedience to God. It

doesn't matter if you're in the Ukraine, in India, it doesn't matter if

you're in Guatemala or Dominika. Preacher be in couraged child of God. Being

courage sister, how I got the spirit and we clapped our hands. We

shattered and praised God. When this very building was empty, we set our

children, I gotta be saved if nobody else walks too. We didn't have

any musicians, Hey, I feel a hold of us. We didn't have

anybody say it ain't now. We didn't have a remodel church building. We

had an elpputation there and it needed work up at done to it. But

we had church. You know what was here? Love, the spirit of

God. We didn't have my I didn't have okay, twilight, I didn't

have a beacon God. I didn't have an amn call that. No,

we had never steal the how the spirit of Oh God, not my life,

not by you're preaching ability, not by your antical skills, not policizing

your chance, but by my spirit. You'll never building, sab Lord,

No, never building Sacriah without my spirit. And I real pull out my

spirit, saith the Lord. Upon this rock, Peter, I will build

my church, not the Catholic church, Peter, but upon this rock Jesus

Christ, I real build my church. You won't need right, you won't

need power. How can these guys preach like that? They're eager, not

learned. They build with Jesus the spright. They've got the Holy Ghost.

What do people just saying because the preacher the Holy Ghost? I said,

we repreacher, just the Holy Ghost telling me I'm not the kissing it's the

Troy cli the God. I realized, sister Howell, we need the spirit

of God working in LaBelle Borida. And that's what we got. That's what

most of you have said has brought you here from India, from Kentucky,

from Mississippi, from Alabama. We're not asking people to move here, but

I think there's two more families that I've heard from just listening on the podcast.

There's saying we need to get to where revivals hat you will lose your

children where there is no revival. Now, I'm telling you, brother Jonathan,

I remember that, not even until you've got here, the helms of

Hell were on your heels. And I can tell brother that if you did

not get in the spirit, you would continue to walk in the lust of

the pleasure. And you were on a highway that was taking you to Hell

much faster than you intended to travel there. Oh, I'm telling you,

I'm talking to us here tonight. That's gonna be spiritual reach. But they

said, and we knew roin revival and the horliness touches lf throughout America and

wrong, Why we got to have a con genuine move Mother, Holy goes.

What is the recipe for revival? Repentance, Godly sorrow workers, repentance.

Lord, I've gone and done wrong sins, some I remember and some

I don't remember. I'm ashamed of them. Lord, I'm embarrassed there.

I would never confess them to a priest or the pope himself. I just

had to confess it to you. Lord. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,

but you know what the trend is, brother Jeremiah. Nowadays people sneer at

the working of the Holy Ghost. They sneer at the working of the Holy

Ghost if they were to see that power of God that feels you that night

as you shook and trembled, he shook out count your music addiction. He

saved Samuel, he got blood washed. Samuel said, I went home and

got convicted in the room next door where my wife and children were in bed,

or wherever they were. He said, I cried out to God and

said, I know I'm the preacher's son. I know I'm the pastor's son.

Brother Philip, is that what you told a Sunday night you got born

again truly in February, And you said about six days later you got the

Holy ghost or something like that, right, huh? Three days later?

He said, Really, what happened was I got genuinely born again. Now

I feel like God's talking to somebody in this building tonight. If you get

spirit feeled the way you need to be. You won't be struggling like you

are. You won't be nearly as worried or concerned about your spiritual condition.

That's what Brother Caleb Road Kept said. He said, when I truly got

converted, he said, I knew the snapchat was wrong. He said,

I knew the snapchat was wrong. He said there was something inside of me

whispering and saying nuts are fitsive to me. Lord, there's nothing clean about

it. Oh, come on. But he said, when he got this

holy ghost, he said, I knew right there, and I better to

lead to the alcohol all together. I may not have been opening it at

all. The pity, he said, for when I got the Holy Ghost,

I knew our better. Oh stop him looking at that step check.

Oh my god, And I'm trying to pitch to you. I remember the

doctor I got saved in October nineteen n out of two bah here he was

in the car with me. George. George was in the car. Women,

Cloth Brooks was in the car. Women which kill was in the car.

Women Paula Mill was in the car. Women When all of'em spread

out on side of the highway, Oh, come the road thirty seven.

I threw him out of the car, I said, I threw him out

of the car. Oh, yes, we'll kick sein h hell your life

when revival comes to hermy, when revival comes home. When Revival comes home,

Brother Samuel, they came home and with it Zechara brought people that were

ready for a change. Brother Roadue Cap, you're old pastor William Strickler.

Brother William Strickler. So one time he said, there's really nothing more dangerous

for little children than to be somewhere for the spirit of God ain't moving now.

I'm not talking about karismatic stuff foolishness, but I am telling you that

Sister how and I got looking around and we realized, in the process of

trying to help other people, we're gonna lose our children and lose our own

soul if we don't start having a revival. And so Sister how and I

started having revival right here in LaBelle, Florida. And you know what,

Sister, we realized it's not gonna come from us. I couldn't pray enough,

but that was important that I saw God, Brother Roque Cap. I

couldn't fast enough, but that was important that I fasted and salt the Lord

and sold his face. But when I was relying on was old breath of

God breathe on this little country church. The greatest revivals that we have had

have not been when we've had scheduled preachers come to the piano, Brother Jesse.

The greatest revivals we have had is when they've been spontaneous. Just one

sister over here, somewhere started having a personal revival, caught fire, Brother

Samuel, you got the Holy ghost that night, right after Brother Jesse got

the Holy ghosts, and we entered one of the greatest revivals of our history

because of two young men. Happened in five It's as to how I couldn't

promise you or the people success through a denomination, through an organization, through

dedication. We drove for six years two hours to church, two hours home

during revival. One time we had a several weeks revival two hours here,

two hours home, and had to work during the day as much as I

could, Brother Jonathan, with all of that dedication and determination to build a

church, we were unsuccessful. But when the spirit of God did y'all fill

it tonight when they were singing, you know who taught these musicians how to

play, as the Bible says, skillfully, the homely ghost did. And

I'm telling you knew people that are now part of the beth of Homeless Church

family. There's people just being And remember when the only thing they could do

was pressed the sea and then go to a g And we had church and

we shouted, and we had victory in the camp, and they couldn't even

keep up with us. The spirit of God taught them that. I remember

I was in my office alone between services and said, God, it's on

me to take this church. It's on me. I said, I don't

even have musicians. I don't even have Sunday school teachers. I was praying,

and the Lord said, your children will be raised up to become the

musicians. The Lord said, go buy some cheap instruments and put them in

their bedroom. Sister, I didn't know how to play the guitar. I

got a chord chart from the music store, and I fault till I could

get a sea. I said, see that that's a c cord. Whatever

that means, it's a c cort. And then I found inn f couldn't

even make a soundarus to see that. This book says that's a f court,

put the instrument down, bought a trumpet and said, this book says

this is a g cort. Brother Nathaniel was in the church one night before

his service. I was praying at my office and the Lord spoke to me.

The Spirit of God spoke to me, and here's his words. He

said, I'm going to teach Nathaniel the trumpet. If he wants to learn

it, I'll come out by opposite church time, says the walker. Come

running back her and she said, do you hear that? Do you hear

that? Saniel can play the trumpet? From the time God spoke to the

time I got to the platform, God had already taught him and gave him

an understanding how to play the trumpet. All of this because of his spirit.

All of this teaching you here because of his spirit. It's not of

our works. We can't boast of it. I told the Lord in the

office today, I said, God, if you don't preach me, I

will be a failure. Just an hour and a half before church, I

said, I will be a failure. But if the Holy Ghost the preacher

shows up, it's success guaranteed. Can we stand tonight for preaching on success?

Guaranteed. My greatest, greatest battle in my mind as a young minister

with a young family, was I don't want to lose my family. I

don't want to lose my children in the process of saving others. For what

is a man profit if he gained the whole world lose his own soul?

Brother Rick, God spoke to him the words of this verse John fifteen and

five. I am the vine, are the branches he that abideth in me?

And I and him the same bringeth much, for bringeth forth much fruit.

For without me you can do nothing but by my spirit. For without

me you can do nothing. That sounds much similar statement, doesn't it.

Brother Jonathan, Sister Wood and I was talking to some people one time,

and they said, brother, howbell Man, you got great spirit. You

seem so excited about doing something for God and LaBelle Florida. You seem so

encouraged, You seem so confident. But they said, we don't want to

burst your bubble and hurt your feelings. But nobody's been able to do anything

in South Florida ever, notwithholding us. So you go to Kentucky, Tennessee,

Oklahoma, Arkansas as homeless Church is everywhere said, but in South Florida

that where you're at, it's never been done. The last time we've heard

of it was in the sixties. The devil will come in and destroyed it.

We're brother Samuel. That's not a Zechora coming in and saying it's gonna

be okay, Brother Gabriel. I had to pick myself up and had to

shake that off because when they told me you can't do it, that discouraged

me. And I felt the spirit of God speaking to me words that were

contrary to theirs, and I said, you're right, you are absolutely right.

Jeremy Howe will never do it, but God will. And if he's

sent me down here, he's going to do it as long as I leave

him in the equation. And that's why every time when we come to this

pulpit, I say, holy Ghost, you're preaching. I'm just here for

the ride. We need his spirit in that piano right now. We need

his spirit and these altars right now. I need his spirit beside my bed

when I'll be praying it there at three in the morning this morning coming up.

I need his spirit in that bedroom again when I'm praying at seven am

in this morning coming up tomorrow morning, Brother Jeremiah. Sometimes he comes in

like a mighty rushing wind and says, keep on, Son, keep on

preaching. Other LaBelle Florida, I build the church. Other times brother wrote

Gap, I just had to below he is faithful. He is faithful.

Could we bow our heads here tonight? I have had a burden. The

branches are no good when they are detached from the vine. America cannot and

will not experience revival without Christ being in the center that revival. They will

not experience revival without the Holy Ghost being in the center that revival. The

Father, the husbandman wants to help us connect to the vine. Were the

branches the husbandman and the vine wants to help us be fruitful. But Brother

Roadkap, I am so certain a bit. What for the spirit of God.

My five sons would be playing country music and not playing in this church

tonight. Now that doesn't move some of y'all, but it breaks my heart

to think that if the Spirit of God was working here, we would have

lost them. I must have revival, Brother Samuel, Brother Caleb, I

must have revival, whether we have an national revival or not. Brother Tyler,

you must have revival. Church. You must have a personal revival.

Is there anybody in this building tonight that would come forward and just kneel,

not confess to me, but pray with these others that are coming, and

say, Lord, I see what pastors saying. I may not be experiencing

revival, but I need it. I understand what pastors saying. Is that

Aliah, as the apostles do, we must go into the upper room.

And he can't build the church until the Spirit is there. He can't build

that church. There'll stand on that rock until the Holy Ghost comes in,

until the Spirit, by his spirit, by the Holy Ghost, by the

Holy Ghost eddies at Mamma's let's get after it. It won't be by the

strength of others. It won't be by the authority or the approval of others.

Just get after it. We need his spirit as they begin to scene

by the Holy goes quick in our spirits tonight. We need fire in the

poolpit. I won't ppel. We need fire of your spirit in our homes

for the roo. We need spirit, reed, we need life. We

need to hold their relieve Though what would I do, whatever five? What

would I do without his spirit? Oh? There is there a hunger for

revival. Is there a hunger for realiteed success guaranteed if his spirit is there

successful Hollo, you must pray a lot. Let's pray a mote with pray.

Oh, I want the power your see you're a hottish sorrce fro the

host see not of Herod. Not the power refect, the power of the

hoods three, the power of revival revival. Here I must have regarval,

My grandly must have reminded. We must be attached to the body the power
