If you have your Bibles with you, will you turn with me to the
-
Book of Lamentations. May I direct your attention to the fifth chapter in the
-
twenty first verse, Brother Nathaniel second Chronicles, chapter number seven and verse number
-
fourteen. Brother Jesse second King's Chapter number two in verse number eleven. How
-
many of you are still feasting on those services that we had this past Sunday.
-
I want to say thank you to Brother Jeremiah Howell. We've seldom acknowledged
-
the fact that he has a sermon podcast where he faithfully, almost religiously broadcast
-
and posts the sermons from the Bethel Hole in his church. So many preachers
-
have contributed to that, and he has been so faithful in that calling and
-
that mission of service to provide a sermon library and audio sermon library for listeners.
-
From what he says, having seen statistics and received praise, reports and
-
testimonies both in the United States of America and some abroad. According to that,
-
we have worldwide of listeners and to listening audience is just tremendous. We
-
thank God for that. Some countries are listening deliberately and intentionally repeatedly. You
-
can tell they are feeding off of what Brother Jeremiah is serving them on the
-
line. I do appreciate that ministry. I appreciate Brother Jeremiah, appreciate all
-
of the preachers that have contributed and preach their hearts to this people. And
-
I'm just so thankful that the bethelho in his church has men and women with
-
a burden to share with others. How many of you like to share?
-
You're eating that bold in real mid Longhorn, how many of you want to
-
share? Anybody? Every time we go? There sins to how ask a
-
question? Are we shared just about every time? The answer to that is
-
yes. So I appreciate Brother Jeremiah is sharing here again tonight. I guess
-
you are, Brother Jeremiah. You're nodding your head up and down, but
-
thank you, Brother Jeremiah. Also, it's good to see Sister Pambertulio here
-
tonight. Praise the Lord. Brother Gabriel and Sister Candice, and Brother Luther.
-
Y'all were sorely missed, and it's so good to see y'all back in
-
the house of the Lord. I too, am familiar with a longing that
-
develops in one's heart when they have been away from something they love. Or
-
someone they love so much. But I'm thankful, brother Gabriel, that you're
-
not trying to get away, but trying to get back into the house of
-
the Lord. But we pray that you had a wonderful vacation you and your
-
family. I preached a sermon years ago. Come apart or fall apart,
-
It's very important that we spend quality time with our family, and I can
-
think of no better place to spend quality time with them than in the House
-
of God. Could the church say he may well, Brother Nathaniel, if
-
you have found it, when you turn with us the Second Chronicles, chapter
-
number seven and verse number fourteen, and read it to this people, our
-
brother. If by people which are called by my name shall humble themselves,
-
then pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, Then
-
will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their
-
land. How many of you believe that this is God's word, both the
-
Old Testament and the New Testament. Did it not say that they must turn
-
from their wicked ways? Remember that word turn, Turn, Hold your hand
-
up, face the palm of your hand towards me. Bend your fingers slightly
-
and turn that dial. Turn to rotate something in a direction, one direction
-
or another. Turn. Brother Thomas Sterrett has in his possession a sign that
-
I've seen members of the Bethel Hole in his church holding. While doing street
-
ministry every Saturday, a lot of times somebody is holding a sign that says
-
turn or burn. So remember that word a turn. Also the commandment there
-
is turn from your wicked ways. Notice it's conditional that that person must make
-
a break, turn from something unto something else. Brother Jesse's Second King's chapter
-
number two and verse number eleven. And it came to pass as they still
-
went on and talked that Behold there appeared to chariot of fire and horses of
-
fire, and part of the emotussunder, and Elijah went up by a whirling
-
into heaven. Hold the palm of the hand up facing me again. And
-
Elijah went up by a world wind rotate. We whirldwin, a whirldwin.
-
Let's see how the whole it goes ties all of this in together. Let's
-
stand for the reading of our Golden text Lamentations, chapter number five and verse
-
number twenty one. The Bible said, turn out us unto thee old Lord
-
and we shall be turned. Butter, be careful what you ask for.
-
How many mammas in here have ever turned their children's heads? Oh? Yes,
-
I used to be so excited on Sunday morning about going to church.
-
I'm still very excited about going to church. But when I was a little
-
boy, I get so excited to go to go out the door. And
-
I feel this really petit small hand. They say, my hands look a
-
lot like my mother's hands. I'd feel this a little hen get under my
-
chin, and brother eja. She would turn my head around and she'd look
-
at the part on my hair. And sometimes she'd wet her old thomb with
-
her tongue and fix a cow lick on my head. And man, I'm
-
telling you why I love you. If you hear this. But I would
-
smell her breath. I knew she had busted her teeth. She was a
-
clean woman, but i'd smell that. I thought. I wish she'd quit
-
turning my head. She'd make me look at her. She'd turned my head
-
towards her. So let's read this again. Turn thou us unto thee old
-
Lord, and we shall be turned. She would turn my head for an
-
inspection. Turn thou us unto thee old Lord, and we shall be turned
-
renew our day's ass of old. Can we pray, Heavenly Father, we
-
love and we praise you. We thank you for the opportunity to be in
-
the house of the Lord. I'm thankful for the testimonies that we heard,
-
exhortations, admonishments. Oh, God, has been food for our soul.
-
I pray that you would anoint this thy servant set of God in my mouth
-
and help me to say the things that you would have me to say,
-
nothing more or less. Anoint tears of this not people, that they might
-
hear what the spirits say at the church and through this word of God,
-
this preach word of God. I pray God, let these sails go below
-
the shoulders, help of God to receive it in their heart and mind and
-
spirits. I pray that we would love you with everything that is within us,
-
including to love your word. Help us to not be here as only
-
but doers. And may we depart this place joyfully and none sorrowfully. In
-
Jesus name. Amen. As you're being seated, ask your neighbor, Hey,
-
neighbor, are you going by worldpool or world wind? I want to
-
preach a message that the Holy ghost. Title Rural Pools and Whirlwinds our text
-
has found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible. The title this
-
book of the Bible is Lamentations. As anyone present to not ever heard the
-
loud cries of those who are lamenting. Unfortunately, as a pastor, and
-
even as a preacher, before I became a pastor, I had the responsibility
-
of officiating funeral services. And I know what it is to experience people lamenting,
-
and to be green and so sorrowful, to have my spirit grown because
-
I watch children and parents and kin people more in the laws of someone that
-
was so special to them. Brother Tyler, it is an awesome thing to
-
be in the presence of somebody that is truly lamenting, somebody that loves somebody
-
greatly and they love that person, and because of the separates of the love
-
between those twain people, we find that person lamenting. And all how it
-
stirs our hearts and it causes us great pain. If we have a heart,
-
that is, if we have a gizzard, we probably are insincsative and
-
we don't feel that. But the author of this book of Lamentations is Jeremiah,
-
and Jeremiah is known as the weep and prophet, and undoubtedly this man
-
was full of sorrow, a man of constant sorrow. If you study the
-
life and the ministerial years of this prophet Jeremiah, you will see this as
-
a man that even at times felt overwhelmed because of the sinful condition of this
-
city of Jerusalem and of the nation of Israel. He would be disturbed about
-
what was going on within the land of Judah. We find that this man,
-
Jeremiah would see stop day nor night to pray, asking God to sit
-
a revival amongst his people and for God to turn them from their wicked ways.
-
If you would, he would request of God to turn their heads from
-
the focus of this world and make them focus again on the things that really
-
mattered, such as serving Jehovah, God or Yah. Way, you could
-
tell that Jeremiah is a man that is very passionate and further and spirit This
-
is a man that's going to use the voice that God has given him to
-
proclaim and preach the truth that God has put in his heart. In fact,
-
there would be times that Jeremiah would become discouraged because of the lack of
-
reception of what he had to say. People simply did not want to hear
-
what Jeremiah said God had given him to say unto them. And there were
-
times that Jeremiah said that shit, I'm folding up the note book, I've
-
put the part eachment away and throwing the pin away. I'm not gonna speak
-
anymore in the Lord's name, because every time that I speak in the Lord's
-
name, they have this feeling that I have put myself above them. They
-
have this feeling that who does he think he is? Who lifted him up
-
and who elevated him and put him at such a position that he could preach
-
to me and look down upon me and point me in the direction of my
-
sin and tell me that I'm on a spiraling, spiraling slope. I'm just
-
going downward. Who is this man to preach to me? He was the
-
prophet, the preacher, the one that had been specially specifically chosen by God
-
to preach to God's people. These are supposed to be God's people. They're
-
supposed to be willing to hear what thus saith the Lord. They're supposed to
-
have an appetite to hear from God. They're supposed to be crave mean to
-
hear somebody speak unto them what God desires to say unto them. But instead
-
we find this propt saying I would speak in the name of the Lord,
-
and I would get discouraged because nobody wanted to hear what I had to say.
-
And I would decide if gainst preaching anymore. But his way would be
-
in my heart like a power shut up in my balls. And I'm too
-
weary but not preaching. I can't hold back. There's no way I cannot
-
preaching us. The same thing that Apostle Paul declared wanted to me. If
-
I preach not to Gospel and preach it, I want to encourage you to
-
preach without regards, without fear or faith for her. Do not look for
-
the applause, the approval, and the affirmation of humanity and mankind. Just
-
be inst to end season and out of season, preaching the Word, whether
-
they like it or not. Even a hair left's grandma. If you're preaching
-
what thus said the Word of God, you have nothing to feel condemned about.
-
There's nothing to be ashamed about. But you might find yourself weeping over
-
the fact that they would not receive it. If we find that this property
-
of Minah here pins five chapters that take this book of limitations and comprise this
-
book of limitation. And whether Nathaniel he's speaking after having wept, and he's
-
lamented about the box sliding people, people that would watch a group of believers,
-
people that believe in Jehovah, people that sawt childra as their provider,
-
people that salt rapper as their healer. And this is a body of believers,
-
if you would. It's not a group of infidels. It's not supposed
-
to be a nation that is forsaken God and being turned into hell. This
-
is supposed to be that people of God. And we see that this propert
-
is weeping because these people that are named by the name of God, they
-
call themselves believes. They call themselves the OUs three, the descendants of Abraham,
-
Isaac and Jacob and children are the most type of God. And those
-
of you that know the national history of Israel, you will know that there
-
would come times that they would have to repent in order to be restored into
-
a good functional relationship with Jehovah or yard Way. And we find here that
-
these people had backslid various times throughout the nation of Israel's history, they would
-
backslide, they would repent them and come back to God. Those of you
-
that know the history of the bethl Holiness Church knows that we have never experienced
-
losing the entire church family to the world or to the ever or the sin.
-
I am so thankful that I've never had to walk into my office and
-
collapse in the floor and say, God, I lost every member on the
-
Bethel Holiness Church since we because they loved the world where they obeyed the lust
-
of the pleasure and they fell for the prod of life. Other have stidn't
-
be or jealousy or not as a bitterness. Catil Oh. No, I've
-
never had to weep over the total annihilation and destruction of the Bethel Holiness Church.
-
And Jeremiah couldnot say this, and he is weeping over an entire loss
-
of what was the people of God, and the people of God was his
-
people, God, Nathaniel, we find that in the Bethel Church history there's
-
been times that we have lost one or two or maybe even a family,
-
and we have mourned over that loss. Better, Chase did not know what
-
I was going to preach old tonight, but he said what can be done
-
in order to get the box slider to turn around? I sit over there
-
quietly and thank my God for the confirmation up tonight's message through Bena ri Chacob.
-
And how many of you know that God can put to hook in the
-
child and those box sliders and they're going to tell your relatives are not to
-
and come on by Elisaically they were your relatives because they were part of the
-
family of God. Oh yes, I miss them, and I know that
-
if we can get gone to put a hook in their child, God can
-
turn them around. That's what our text us saying. The author of this
-
writing is saying, God, our nation needs somebody to turn lay ahead and
-
there somebody's gotta be you, God. I know that we live in a
-
time with most Americans say that the United States of America is no longer a
-
Christian nation. Why is this? Because the Bible propheside that never come times
-
and in every nation, dominion, and kingdom, when there would be great
-
to falling away, we find a chair of our witness to a great falling
-
away, a great removal of people that lived in the Promised Land, the
-
great destruction of the literal house of Cod and do it away within the city
-
and other peace and sister, we'd buy a grace of Cod the BeCl Holiness
-
Church and is still here, powerfuls and steal across the street. The building
-
is air condition and the us are padded. The musicians are still players.
-
Stimpili has annointed by the Lord A. Teachers are still teaching, and the
-
preachers are still preaching. We still gotta play something to come to church out.
-
We still got a place something to worship. Cad here that I still
-
got my brother on my right and my sister on my left. I have
-
not had to let me take the way to Toby Indead and asked the question
-
why that we can ware that what happened. I'll tell you what happened is
-
when the people that refused to hear the word of God ms America that they
-
longer rested here. Let this says the word of Cod and if he could
-
just get the people to pray that the people will puss us again that all
-
revival. That then I believe that that God to turn this country around.
-
I don't play of a service we preach in and every message that we deliver
-
in order to encourage people to pursue and pray for revival. There's gonna be
-
that person with ampathy and lethargic person, brother Jesse, that just says,
-
what's the use. It's been proposide that this would happen. It's been proclaimed
-
that before Jesus comes back, this will happen. Everybody's gonna backslide. The
-
rights should scarcely be saved, which others the sinner and uncodly appear, and
-
pretty soon it's just doom and gloom, and nobody believes anybody can be turned
-
around. Nobody believes the backslider's got anything to come home to. Everybody feels
-
like the backslide in their heart. And come on, the great commission was
-
given to us. Come on to be active and actively pursuing the sinner until
-
the return of Christ. I see this in Jeremiah. I see this in
-
Noah. I see this and most of these feeders, these men were pushing
-
for the deliverance of the people up until the last my minute before the turret
-
close. So there's a cernity to be preacher, there's a sinner to be
-
reached for. What are you talking about, Preacher, You just hain't tight.
-
We'll get there in a minute, but I'll take for the night.
-
And about five or six months ago God reached her into this building to put
-
his hand, put some young mind, and your woden had turned ahead,
-
and he turned the heart. He put their focus back up on the Bible.
-
O. Yes, sir, in the midst of a great fall in
-
any cat said he saved the body. He filled them with the Holy Ghost.
-
They walked on down at the rail point. They don't hope they're got
-
in there along with jentermis weeping up to the last minute. He's praying up
-
to the last minute. He's proclaimed, y'all think about this, How did
-
you here in my field? After seeing the destruction and the desolation of such
-
a beautiful place? I cannot relate? Thank God for his mercy. Thank
-
God that I didn't pull up tonight and see that Russia or China had bombed
-
our church and we had no place together. Thank God that I did not
-
pull up tonight and see that the devil had laid waste to this place or
-
house or worship because the people's disobedience. No, they were obedient together,
-
and not for sake of the assuming of themselves together. They were obedient and
-
keeping God the commandments of God. They were obedient and turning away from the
-
world and turning unto God. Or come on, now, these people had
-
been warned bout you to Maiah. You know how long he had warned them
-
of what was coming? For forty years since the hell. He had warned
-
them that they would be carried away in the captivity under city destroyed. That's
-
a long time to preacher to include. Oh yes, after that, many
-
decades of preaching, four decades of preaching and team and gloom and every now
-
and then killing somebody's liver. But Hope had l flight of mercy. He's
-
preached like this, and let you know what, with the road cap it.
-
He was not the only messenger to preacher to gods people. The very
-
thing that cheered my let's preaching. His contemporary say, we're preaching the same
-
time. They were speaking as the oracles of God. They were speaking as
-
the mouthpieces said of God. But those old preachers me and would not the
-
older warncher they had preached it. I want you to know that Jeremiah was
-
simply echoing the words of a man of cordment that was there when they found
-
fulfillment with the promised land. His name was Joshua. Joshua had warned them
-
eight hundred years fire, and they're down. Came with deed when they begin
-
to result to rely upon their own feelings, and when they would rely on
-
that on their own way, when there were two days as right in their
-
own lives. To this case, that is fucked. The result to but
-
just a bad decision. Only in this case it's the judgment of God.
-
Listen. With God knocks the domino's over, you can rest ashore. There
-
won't be one dominare still standing. They ever conticides the deed, and when
-
he goes to do it, he will do it perfect judgment. Every disobedient
-
person will not be left standing. Every goat will not be left unturned.
-
The Lord will turn some goats and some unruly and disobedient people, some transgressors
-
that are looking to go where the lambs are going, and he will turn
-
their heaven and say you got to go over there. How many of you
-
remember there was a time in American history when the schools and public facilities audited
-
segregation. The black people would in one direction and the white people would in
-
another. The blacks and rights did not cohabitate. But the Jesse they did
-
not mix some mingle in the secular school system. They didn't mix some mingle
-
in the church. They just simply were segregated. They didn't drink out of
-
the same water fountain. I met a World War two better in midday.
-
He said the same thing my grand daddy said. The black person drink out
-
of the water parla designated with the black person, and the white person drink
-
out of a water pount designated designated for a white person to drink out of.
-
What are you talking about right here, pastor? I'm telling you this
-
nation has come to the truth in a lot of ways. This nation has
-
improved in a lot of ways. But even though there's been some improvement,
-
we have also lost some critical ground that people fought for. Not only this
-
sort of that we thank God for that we tread under foot, sometimes thatefully
-
and sometimes unthankfully. We don't realize that America was founding, our founding fathers,
-
that love of people, that loved God, that loves liberty, that
-
loves sing the freedoms and liberty, so all that we take that for granted,
-
that we disregard the treat that being lack. Josh will and cheer in
-
my own that come on. A media preacher and the founding fathers said,
-
until now has told that America that whatever happened to jerusman, that he can
-
happen to America. Whatever happened to China can happen to America. We come
-
deceived that we believe that that we cannot fall old. Yes, America,
-
that light cap calap said in a moment, it's a proper said from common
-
that it will collapsa. I said it will collaps so that they said it
-
prosaves Cora. That Protista's Marta shall be turned into hell, shall be turned
-
into a third world country, shall be turned into a country where nobody owns
-
property, shall be turned into a third world country where there are no crops,
-
the harvest shall be carried away into captivity by invaders from foreign saw.
-
Now, let's don't beat bloom and gloom only here, y'all bear with me.
-
I'm hoping to preach the flips out of this here in a minute.
-
These people were worn. There's holiness of Pentecostal churches all throughout the world,
-
in every state of these United States that I know of There are proclaimers of
-
the truth, and there are members and seekers of the truth, and they
-
speak as the mouthpiece of God, and they live as examples of this living
-
word of God. I am not the only voice that has been heralding the
-
truth. Jeremiah was simply echoing what Joshua had said. And Joshua was repeating
-
what Jehovah had said. And I want to tell our young preachers something.
-
You will preach other the same message of repentance that's trying to Baptist's message.
-
You will preach other the same message repent that child, the Baptist preacher that
-
was the greatest preacher of all, that when you will not be preaching at
-
all, you can give a treach tich. You can preach it from only
-
sermon that you can give it this sermon title. But if you do not
-
preacher, if people's not to turn it, but they won't turn, that
-
you are not preaching at all. How feel the Holy custup in this house?
-
How go it's time to be glass. I go, It's time to
-
receive the promise Chousa was said. He but you better remember if there ever
-
comes a time of the day when you weren't fearful I the living God.
-
It's such a way that you carelessly great because because I'm not taking you want
-
to lose it. I don't want to be dourny going old here. But
-
in this case, this is judgment, perfect judgment. Not one stone left
-
unturn, not one name for, not one person that hasn't been expected and
-
evaluated, not one person that hasn't been scrutinis, not one person that hasn't
-
been analyzed. I feel the Holy Ghost Joshua was said in Joshua twenty three
-
sixteen. When ye have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, your god,
-
which he commanded you, and have gone has served other gods and boulge herself
-
to them. Then the anger of the lords I be killing on against you,
-
and ye parents quickly from off the good land which he has killn you.
-
Now we preached this past Sunday night, and we shouted about the inheritance
-
on the eleven tribes and how the lines of their boundaries failed in pleasant places.
-
So we talked about them, the other tribe that had the Lord as
-
their inheritance. But here Joshua was warning them. After the prior verse,
-
I promise see them wonderful things. He said, God can remove you from
-
that killing land, that land and for a time when milk and honey got
-
to remove you, pull out place something little preacher, preachers who do the
-
annoyance, that God can remove you from the place something to him, remove
-
you to a land when you were spirits family for the first time. Can
-
you pine away for something to eat? I'm telling you what. God can
-
turn you from the plassic in a moment. Tell Joshua was said, he
-
could do it quickly, quickly. He shall perish quickly from off of the
-
land which he has given you. He's given it to us. It's our
-
inheritance. We should not take it lightly. In that verse, Joshua was
-
concerned, is these people know what has been given to them. He knows
-
these people's potential potential in order to be blessed of God and to receive of
-
God. But also he knows something called original sin. He knows the aandemic
-
and nature of a man kind or humanity. He knows that man can get
-
quickly deceived. He knows that because of what happened to Mother Eve. He
-
knows that man can be manipulated. He knows that man can be outcunned and
-
outwitted if they do not rely upon the Lord. And soon after this,
-
brother Nathaniel, he knows that when they have been turned away from the Lord,
-
they will be turned unto other gods, and they will begin to do
-
a soloman none. They will bow o be sins to other gods, and
-
then they will tread on a slippery swamp. Will come on, now,
-
it's what I felt like, Doctor on me. Then they will tread on
-
a slippery slope, and then they will tumble, and as they fall,
-
the fault itself will be perpetual. It will never be wherever they say I
-
fell until I hit rock bottom. That's what God spoken in my heart.
-
It will be a perpetual tumbling. It will be a perpetual down with spiral,
-
a downra spiral that leads up to destruction. If you take that,
-
you want to write that down a person before you turned that, or wry
-
from the house and cod before you turn that way from the person book and
-
the people are tired, remember that personal hod will say it that tout said.
-
It will be a countless spiral that leads up to eternal downation and destruction.
-
Is anybody here tonight knowing example within nature of an airless spiral. If
-
you listen to my child on that, you know what it is. It's
-
a world pool, Sister rudeness. Seemed like God told me to creature to
-
put a coastal people, the Holiness Goodment, the Brockleholist Church up and let
-
him know. You don't want that part of the world pool. You don't
-
want to be stirling downward. Call that pot, get a word poor.
-
It has been said it is something or someone gets called in a world pool.
-
There is no escape for that thing, whether object or person. There
-
is no hope of escape for that object or that person that gets called in
-
the world pool, whether the rule. It makes me think of the New
-
Testament scriptures that God will send strong delusion. You know why they can't know
-
the truth and be set free and liberate it because they believe the lie and
-
they work down. You better be careful who's turning your head. You better
-
be careful what all you're turning. You better be careful what freturn you turn
-
it to. You better be careful what the fing you visited? Or come
-
on now slid it? He looked out because you know and he's sorrow,
-
young man, a simple man turning into a place, and he should watch
-
it and visited that. I feel the hole it goes to get in this
-
house. I'm talking about that world pull. Better time to stare at You
-
know what happens when somebody else, something gets caught to in the world pull.
-
They need somebody on an out and sucking it is outside it for the
-
world pulls to rescue there. That is their only handfu about there. He
-
gon be a swallow. That's the only handfuck rescue in this station. When
-
I turn to God that is America, you'll humble hers so out and turned
-
from our waking days. If our children, if our mobs and touch,
-
we'll reach up out of the whirlpool, asked Peter. You might be going
-
down, hey, but if you'll reach up, if you reach up,
-
you can't reach down. You gotta reach up to that reaching down hand.
-
The whirlpools. In that world pool, there's all sorts of debris. There's
-
all kinds of filth. We took brother Philip out on the boat and visited
-
some private beaches and some really cool islands, and we got out there and
-
where nobody else was, and it was though as though we own our own
-
private beaches, our own private land, and brother gave it. There was
-
one place where we got in we could tell the current was really strong,
-
and I told him, I said, riptide is a real thing. And
-
I looked at one of my sons and I said, you probably just about
-
to the point of where that current is, and if you go any further,
-
you can be called up in that in a moment. And Brother Nathaniel,
-
we wouldn't have had time to get to the boat. We would have
-
tried, and maybe he would have known him the proper way of going with
-
the riptide and swimming towards the shore. But Brother Jesse, I'm not preaching
-
on a riptide here tonight. I'm not talking about somebody kind of moving outward
-
but get parallel with the shore. I'm talking about somebody that's already got called
-
up and you're spinning and spiraling out of control. Oh come on now,
-
I don't want to preach dum and gloom, but I come on, Mama,
-
you know that Veglan, when you saw your son get caught up in
-
bad you were making his bed. I have happened here. But if your
-
parents don't get a hold of God, we could be dead in Golden y'all
-
could be dealing with this. It's a very difficult thing for a mother to
-
go in a room and find some sort of surren rap and see some green
-
leafy substance and residue on that surrend wrapper, and they're realize, my son
-
is trucking. Now you talk about going from being rock steady that mother,
-
I guess stuff you knock, her head is swimming. Okay. Oh,
-
now you can see that look in a young person's eyes when you visit the
-
can't eat it and you can tell they're not in this service. So they're
-
prom dizzy like dizzy demas they do so be asy focus on. Oh hold
-
no, lad, they can't see straight. They're so truck hold the wall,
-
they can't make straight. Hey, I'm preaching to somebody here in the
-
knock. Hey, you're not in a riptide, you're in a lawyer with
-
you're in a laypool. Then I want you to go. They won't get
-
it live down and they're everlasting. Told me you'll feel it. You know
-
you're there the cross up and you're saying, hell, I cut out hello.
-
That's what happened to those the fall against Moses. The Bible said the
-
ground opened up and swallowed them alive. Brother Philip. When they speak of
-
opening up, it almost seemed to me like to open something, it had
-
to generate it, like when you see it an hour glass flipped over.
-
You had to have seen sand and trees and grass and shrubbery and people disappeared.
-
Are y'all listening to me? I see it going on as spiritual whirlpools
-
taking place. People no longer want to believe the Bible literally, people no
-
longer want to keep his commandments. They wonder what's happening in this country while
-
we have all of these mass shootings. Why is all of this going on
-
in the school system? They're being swallowed alive. Can somebody hear their cries?
-
Can somebody reach the hand to them and rescue them? Cause somebody thrown
-
them alive? Like can somebody throw them a scripture verse? Cause somebody preach
-
to them? Come on now, Jesus and his word will always be outside
-
other downward spiral. I'm preaching on the whirlpool or a whirlwind? What is
-
it? You're caught up here? Now? About five months ago we had
-
a revival, and I can tell you I who looked at the heels of
-
people that were once up. They come on standing on the earth, so
-
to speaker and motionless, expressionless, but now you can tell they've been lifted
-
up and swept up off their pizza in the high places. The Bible said
-
that Elijah had told Elisha, if you'll just keep watching me, if you'll
-
keep doing what I'm doing, keep living the way you I'm telling you,
-
when God comes to get me, you're gonna see the spear of God that
-
come down upon me. And the Bible said it and came to pie.
-
So as they still went on and talked to the whole, that they appeared
-
the chair in the pire, and horses apire and part of them both a
-
Sunday, and Elijah went up by word, we went in the heaven.
-
Alisa had been concerned about the whole going an Elijah. And you know what,
-
there were other young preachers. They were just like Jones couplers, so
-
they are not comple at all. But Alosa kept up his eyes on Elijo.
-
And I'm telling you we better keep up our eyes on the book the
-
whole Amboda. We're gonna keep our eyes up on the peachures against of you.
-
We gotta keep our eyes out on the law of the prophet. So
-
we gotta keep our eyes were talking to practising, and it's word say,
-
we gotta keep our eyes out Jesus this. Anybody feel this, because there's
-
gonna be a catching a lay the church tell I said, there's gonna be
-
a catching a layer. Let the trump trump, the taches dot com and
-
God on that that what's final. The chach will be called up and gon
-
with the law that in the air. Which direction are you going? In?
-
Which direction are you going? In Lemertations three and one, Jeremiah saying,
-
I am the man that has witnessed his words are seen affliction by the
-
rod of his wrath. Jeremiah saying concerning the people of God and God,
-
he said, I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of
-
his wrath. He said, I saw God warned him out like nobody else
-
can wear them out. I saw them get caught up in a whirlpool and
-
be diminished and dissolved in a moment. But second kings too, when ten
-
says, and he said, thou hast asked a hard thing. Elisha Elijah
-
speaking Nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from THEE, it
-
shall be so unto THEE. But if not, it shall not be so.
-
I want you to notice two things. It's the same word that stood
-
up to me in both verses. See and right here, if you see,
-
Oh, come on, we're blessed that we know the truth. We're
-
blessed that we can see it. They saw that preacher, preacher, they
-
heard the words of that preacher, and they also saw the chastening God of
-
God as he begin to chastise these people. Oh come on, now,
-
Elijah, you better listen to me. There is an Elishah behind you that
-
is following you, and Elishah listen to me. If you are not going
-
in the right direction, you are not going to end up in the same
-
place that Elijah ended up here, because if Elishah had a said, you
-
know what, Elijah, I'm not gonna across the river because I don't know
-
how I'll get back. We'll come on. Now. My Bibles were for
-
the early Church, and miracles were for the early Church. And I don't
-
need that same experience. I don't need that same mincor But I likes something.
-
You gotta follow me all the way and had an unexpected moment. There
-
will be an unexpected turn on. You can't I gonna talk on yell about
-
head. I'll tell my dream come preacher. Sometimes you gotta be that it's
-
poor water that on the hand of the preacher. Sometimes I gotta do stand
-
up and you ain't marry corner and follow the man of time. We'll come
-
on now the duck creature, and you decide to go in a different direction
-
that you will never experience her a man being taken away, I'll run me.
-
Akay, you wore there, spiencent to yourself being taken away. I'll
-
run me the rest the shirt that's a little cool. He'll open up be
-
one day I'm saying, don't go about work alone. What's it? Gonnaday?
-
What's going You're going about one of the other h I feel the Holy
-
ghosts in this place. Jeremiah's lamenting because of the condition of God's people,
-
and it is a terrible situation. When I think about just thirty years ago,
-
I could go just about anywhere within a Pentecostal or a holiness movement or
-
church and be safe. Not within nominal churches. For the most part,
-
but amongst independent, autonomous people, you could feel safe. But now Jeremiah's
-
realizing this store is closed. This store is closed. This store is closes.
-
And while everybody continued being, they just to said where God's people,
-
and then being divided in heart spirit, and paying obessance and worshiping your Mother
-
of Gods, and saying, I'll take a little bit of the world and
-
a little bit of God. I have a little carnality in me and a
-
little righteous spirituality in me. Hey, come on a little eleven eleven as
-
a whole love. Jeremiahs sorrogn begin to gradually pull away from God until they
-
got to the place they were walking away from God. Then they're running from
-
God. But then came the fall, Then came the stumble. The man
-
wrote a song one time. You may run home for a long time,
-
but God Almighty is gonna cut you down. I want you to know you
-
cannot outrun the world. Poor, I said, you could not outrun the
-
world. Pull the ground will begin to move under your feet. The Bible
-
said that held itself has enlarged herself right there under your feet. Come on
-
our picture to somebody, and here that not you might be listening to north
-
speaker. They're a live god casting you might be right here in this building.
-
I don't know who you are, but I know that even though I've
-
got so much on my mind, it's so much better than me right now,
-
regardless of people's health condition. I want you to know I got a
-
burden to preach to you. You're gonna come in about a right up here
-
where we are, I said, God, let me keep her, come
-
out and let her live holy. Let me turn to the water, Let
-
me turn into youth pot he likes to be. Let to step past it
-
in the heaven, Let me be not the light shap Let me step fast,
-
say in my heaven, and the mister, this world that's busting a
-
part of the scene, and say and told about the wayside, Lift up
-
the head, hundred the difference on the ass making the blue top uting little
-
peach. But lift up little head. Jesus is coming from all high,
-
preacher. What about this? What about this? Should we be nervous about
-
this? Should we be concerned about this? Let's just pray about it.
-
But I'm seeing these things come to pass, and I'm saying, thank you,
-
Lord, thank you. Those two war veterans befriended me. Today.
-
Some people despise it when I say this. I can't lie. It's the
-
God's honest truth. My wife and my daughter watched it happen. I fasted
-
and prayed for ten years for this gift. I didn't ask God to speak
-
to me in this manner, and I'm just sharing it with you. Just
-
let brother l didn't want to share things. I'm not trying to put myself
-
on the plane with him. I'm a nobody. But we walked in there
-
for my wife to go undergo serious testing. She was very concerned, to
-
put it loudly, head I knew when she opened that door a couple of
-
times to see if I was out there, I knew her. She's very
-
concerned. That's not like you, mother. And I finally just went in
-
there with her and sat in there with her and prayed, and I said,
-
You're gonna be fine. But Brothers Jessee, when we walked in that
-
reading all that year clinic, there was these old men there. One of
-
'em was older than the other. When I walked in, I might have
-
been twenty thirty people. There's that right, Hannah. As soon as I
-
walked in the Holy go sit that old man over there to watching, And
-
so I walked in. To be honest with you, I went to the
-
farthest corner because I didn't know what that meant. And I tried to talk
-
back under the TV in the corner to Hannah, and he immediately got up.
-
Am I telling a lie or nothing? And I had told him and
-
said, he's watching, and it's all happened in less than two seconds.
-
We walked right in the door went down. As soon as I sat down,
-
he popped up, hobbled over there. Brother Jesse, he humbled right
-
over there, and he was cutting up with Hannah Coles. Sister hanwell goes
-
one way. I go one way, trying to hide, and Sister Hannah,
-
she's right there. You can't hide in front of thirty people. She
-
knew better. I just got the NC and he says, well, I
-
tell your marriages on the rocks. He's laughing. He said, no,
-
I'm a minister of the gospel. And then while he was talking, he
-
said you're a Christian, aren't you? And uh, I said yeah,
-
I'm a Christian. He says, so am I I'm a preacher. But
-
what caught my attention was World War two vett. I jumped up out of
-
my seat. He had sit down on one chair away from it, got
-
right beside him. I went to shape down on ninety six year old gentleman's
-
hand, and he gave me the fist bump instead, and I said,
-
well, that's all right. And then across from him was this man paralyzed
-
on his left side. And when he heard me say you're a World War
-
two vet, that man jumped up. Im I tell it right, Hannah,
-
and humbled over there to that World War two vet, and he said,
-
man, I'm honored just to be able to meet a World War two
-
veteran. I mean the atmosphere was electrified and charged immediately, and that World
-
War two veteran, he said, pretty much he knew I was a soldier
-
of the Cross, Brother Samuel, now that you've got the holy ghost.
-
He went into Arby's over there just a couple weeks ago for jury duty.
-
He went in there to eat breakfast. He said, this old gentleman jumped
-
up and walked over there and said, you're a preacher, hl Brother sam
-
I said, I had never heard that life only been preaching four or five
-
months. People knew a soldier, wouldn't they see one? And sister Hammon,
-
there was one coming like us at another soldier. We didn't know it.
-
And he said, sir, it's so good to meet you. I
-
am honored. And then he returned to his seat. Sit down, and
-
the old World War two better than myself. We knew a soldier when we
-
saw one, and he and he said what war did you serve him?
-
He said, desert storm, sir, And he said where did you serve
-
it? Specifically? He told us he tilted his head down. He had
-
a big head wound right here on this side of his head, didn't he,
-
Sister Hannah, And he said, as as old a fight for this
-
country. He said, I paralyzed to this day on my left side.
-
And brother Jessee, the air got electrified and charged again. And I'll sit
-
thank you for your service, sir. And I'm telling you those guys just
-
talked again and turned out they were both preachers. They both loved the Bible.
-
I told her sister, how, I said, Ben I love to
-
hang out with him guys about once a month and hear them tell their stories.
-
The brother road cap. They were fascinated with me. I was fascinated
-
with him. There was something about these men that fascinated me. And I
-
got confirmation of something I've said over the years and said, it's recently a
-
Sunday, the World War two generation is the best generation. I chopped up
-
out of my seat and I said, could mister Desert Storm, I said,
-
sir, you are rocked. I just told my church now and the
-
old man, he's not a six years old sitting there, look pretty good.
-
He said in a sid boys, we fought to win. Now,
-
we didn't fight to leave our life. Now, come on down. They
-
as people gonna go down there when the ship it'll run a pool that I
-
was talking about, Americ man go down, but there's gonna be some people
-
go up. I said, I'm not going it down. Look put this
-
ship, I'm not going it down. Git along, I said. Those
-
two soldiers spoke, They spoke confidently of what they fought for. Mister Desert
-
Storm said, look right here, look right here, mister world War two,
-
look right here, pastor how he said on this application that I'm feeling
-
out right here. He said there asking for mister and misresss Hey, praise
-
God, he said, it ain't it? It ain't if what it is
-
and hate sister. How there was liberals all around. What the sister had
-
them. I didn't cringe a bit, they didn't clinch a bit. Then
-
he started talking about the liberals trying to destroy our country. Hey, come
-
on, now, nobody did others going down to the world pool assist pool
-
killing up balls and twy us. They're our country, stud storm cort we
-
kip me our soldier. I said about whom gonna go up hobout compared to
-
the over contract. Neither one of them men that had fault throw all glory
-
wanting to believe that he's faded. Neither one of them men wanted to say
-
old glory tattered and ripped. So I thought that that ninety six year old
-
man could just get his strength back. The Jeremiah thought, if I could
-
just preach again, I'd do it all over another forty years. Joshua was
-
a military genius, a great general, and he had said, the nation
-
that begins to forget what God told him to do, you'll lose it all.
-
It ain't to this nation doesn't have fighters, and chance is that this
-
nation is refusing to use the voice. But brother Jesse, even though that
-
man had the battle scar, and the battle warner says to how you talked
-
about tonight the scars. There was more fighting him than I wanted them illegal
-
Americans that were around us, and look at at them like they were crazy.
-
And I knew right then, brother Tyler, even right now, if
-
I had to fight the war, I'd take a ninety six year old room
-
and a cripples vetters. I'm a feeling to appreciate our peers can decide to
-
compromise and start preaching the truth, and we might seeing nothing but a hand
-
go down in the whirlpoole. But brother Samuel, we all remember this,
-
young preachers. We don't have to go down with them. We're going up.
-
We're gonna turn from sin. I put a holder goes. Let's stand
-
up here this boss. You get the lobo held teeth, nor get too,
-
Horda bade. Let's find the Lord. Our text said, turned down
-
us into the old Lord, and we shall be turned renew our days as
-
of old. If you could hear that old timer he's saying, if I
-
could just fight again, And I want to ask the question, which way
-
are you turning? Or you turn it to the left, you turn into
-
the right. These people need to turn from their wickedness and the God.
-
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and
-
pray and seek my face, and turn from there with your ways, then
-
will I hear from heaven and will forgive her sin, and will heal their
-
land. Notice what he said, If people which are called by my name,
-
they proclaim and profess to be the people of God. But this is
-
what I want you to know. It takes more than the name of America.
-
It takes more than the name of Christian. It takes more than a
-
name which are called by my name. It's true, whether steriisgeneration must turn
-
or burn. Notice they don't need to turn, only they need to return.
-
According to our scripture, they need to return, and they're asking that
-
they be restored as in the days of olds to how these are people that
-
know the walk, These are people that know the talk. Two points I
-
want to leave with you. They need to return so they can be renewed.
-
It's what it says in our tips. They had a place to go
-
back to the old days, the old ways. I still like the old
-
time, preaching prayer, singing a shot. I still like to listen to
-
Brother Carl and Elis say on the way to church, I still like these
-
songs in the red back temper Or, Elisha, if you're gonna go to
-
the place where Elijah is going, it's gonna take the same walk and the
-
same talk, preacher. If they used to live it that way, we're
-
gonna have to live it this way. If they used to live it that
-
way, we're gonna have to live it that same way. If they used
-
to have to preach it like that, we're gonna have to preach it like
-
that, Elisha. If you want to double anointing in a double portion of
-
what Elijah had, no matter who dislikes it or likes it, you better
-
do it the way Elijah did. If you're gonna go buy the world,
-
will repent and be renewed, repent and be remented. Rether Jesse, would
-
you come to the piano, I thought, Sister. Wouldn't them two veterans,
-
they don't have anything to repent over, but their bodies had failed them.
-
They can no longer fight because they're disabled. Do you know both of
-
them were talking to me about how people and these were men, they didn't
-
need praise. They were just talking about the facts of the soldiers that fought
-
in the Vietnam War being brought to shame by their own people, and how
-
they never really experienced the celebration of their return, and how they were sped
-
on and on, and the old World War two veterans. He said,
-
let me tell you about something, mister, desert storm. He said,
-
there's something called Honor Flight. He said, I think it's based out of
-
Naples. He said, research it. He said, it's a group of
-
people that have organized a celebration team. And he said, if you're crippled
-
and disabled, they will give you guides and guardians that are also soldiers or
-
veterans. And said, if you're disabled a cripple, they will carry you
-
if they have to, they will will you in a wheelchair. And he
-
said they will have a wonderful celebration specifically for you. I saw that one
-
of the veteran, whether jere Mind, he was as tough as nails.
-
I saw a tear rolled out the son of his face and I said,
-
do you know what, there's a soldiers crippled to this day. He's not
-
a shame, he's not embarrassed. And get this, he ain't sorry,
-
But even though they haven't honored him properly, he's still scarred, and he's
-
still fought from people that dishonored him, And that Jesus is scarred forever neil
-
scarred hands. But he's going to celebrate us. Where we go home,
-
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shall the voice of the archangel,
-
the Holy Ghost is in this place here tonight in a mighty way.
-
Sun's gonna go by the whirlpool beyond the earth to booze, to meet defeat.
-
But some of us are gonna go past that blue sky. Brother Philip,
-
he said at some point in that honor flight, he said, they
-
get big hoses, get big fire trunks, takers, and get big hoses,
-
and he said they just start spraying that aircraft or water, showering them
-
with blessings and crippled and disabled old soldiers being properly celebrated and appreciated. There
-
isn't gonna be anybody in Hell celebrated or appreciated. But you talk about a
-
good time, do you know that old song jesting talk about a good time.
-
We're gonna have the time when we meet the Lord up in the air
-
why the air. I'm glad in the air because I don't know what's in
-
the core of the earth, the cord of the Word of God. Talking
-
about a good time, you know that, salt Religi. Let's just gonna
-
come up here. If you need to repent, pitt your knees and repent.
-
If you want to praise the Lord, praise the Lord, you go
-
by a whirlpool or a world. We know what's it gonna be for you?
-
Talking about a good time. We're gonna have a time any man.
-
I'm feel the Holy ghost in this place. There's gonna be preachers, There's
-
gonna be jeremiahed scarred. There's gonna be first ladies patter. There's gonna be
-
holding us, people get lit on, talked about parting the treader going on
-
a good talk. Go ahead. A side gestures, what's it gonna be
-
the world for work? We gon time about time? What about We're gonna
-
time time about it dot her time, time, sime time, little time
-
and time time shot last time and talk time about the time time time A very sensi
