  1. If you have your Bibles with you, will you turn with me to the

  2. Book of Lamentations. May I direct your attention to the fifth chapter in the

  3. twenty first verse, Brother Nathaniel second Chronicles, chapter number seven and verse number

  4. fourteen. Brother Jesse second King's Chapter number two in verse number eleven. How

  5. many of you are still feasting on those services that we had this past Sunday.

  6. I want to say thank you to Brother Jeremiah Howell. We've seldom acknowledged

  7. the fact that he has a sermon podcast where he faithfully, almost religiously broadcast

  8. and posts the sermons from the Bethel Hole in his church. So many preachers

  9. have contributed to that, and he has been so faithful in that calling and

  10. that mission of service to provide a sermon library and audio sermon library for listeners.

  11. From what he says, having seen statistics and received praise, reports and

  12. testimonies both in the United States of America and some abroad. According to that,

  13. we have worldwide of listeners and to listening audience is just tremendous. We

  14. thank God for that. Some countries are listening deliberately and intentionally repeatedly. You

  15. can tell they are feeding off of what Brother Jeremiah is serving them on the

  16. line. I do appreciate that ministry. I appreciate Brother Jeremiah, appreciate all

  17. of the preachers that have contributed and preach their hearts to this people. And

  18. I'm just so thankful that the bethelho in his church has men and women with

  19. a burden to share with others. How many of you like to share?

  20. You're eating that bold in real mid Longhorn, how many of you want to

  21. share? Anybody? Every time we go? There sins to how ask a

  22. question? Are we shared just about every time? The answer to that is

  23. yes. So I appreciate Brother Jeremiah is sharing here again tonight. I guess

  24. you are, Brother Jeremiah. You're nodding your head up and down, but

  25. thank you, Brother Jeremiah. Also, it's good to see Sister Pambertulio here

  26. tonight. Praise the Lord. Brother Gabriel and Sister Candice, and Brother Luther.

  27. Y'all were sorely missed, and it's so good to see y'all back in

  28. the house of the Lord. I too, am familiar with a longing that

  29. develops in one's heart when they have been away from something they love. Or

  30. someone they love so much. But I'm thankful, brother Gabriel, that you're

  31. not trying to get away, but trying to get back into the house of

  32. the Lord. But we pray that you had a wonderful vacation you and your

  33. family. I preached a sermon years ago. Come apart or fall apart,

  34. It's very important that we spend quality time with our family, and I can

  35. think of no better place to spend quality time with them than in the House

  36. of God. Could the church say he may well, Brother Nathaniel, if

  37. you have found it, when you turn with us the Second Chronicles, chapter

  38. number seven and verse number fourteen, and read it to this people, our

  39. brother. If by people which are called by my name shall humble themselves,

  40. then pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, Then

  41. will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their

  42. land. How many of you believe that this is God's word, both the

  43. Old Testament and the New Testament. Did it not say that they must turn

  44. from their wicked ways? Remember that word turn, Turn, Hold your hand

  45. up, face the palm of your hand towards me. Bend your fingers slightly

  46. and turn that dial. Turn to rotate something in a direction, one direction

  47. or another. Turn. Brother Thomas Sterrett has in his possession a sign that

  48. I've seen members of the Bethel Hole in his church holding. While doing street

  49. ministry every Saturday, a lot of times somebody is holding a sign that says

  50. turn or burn. So remember that word a turn. Also the commandment there

  51. is turn from your wicked ways. Notice it's conditional that that person must make

  52. a break, turn from something unto something else. Brother Jesse's Second King's chapter

  53. number two and verse number eleven. And it came to pass as they still

  54. went on and talked that Behold there appeared to chariot of fire and horses of

  55. fire, and part of the emotussunder, and Elijah went up by a whirling

  56. into heaven. Hold the palm of the hand up facing me again. And

  57. Elijah went up by a world wind rotate. We whirldwin, a whirldwin.

  58. Let's see how the whole it goes ties all of this in together. Let's

  59. stand for the reading of our Golden text Lamentations, chapter number five and verse

  60. number twenty one. The Bible said, turn out us unto thee old Lord

  61. and we shall be turned. Butter, be careful what you ask for.

  62. How many mammas in here have ever turned their children's heads? Oh? Yes,

  63. I used to be so excited on Sunday morning about going to church.

  64. I'm still very excited about going to church. But when I was a little

  65. boy, I get so excited to go to go out the door. And

  66. I feel this really petit small hand. They say, my hands look a

  67. lot like my mother's hands. I'd feel this a little hen get under my

  68. chin, and brother eja. She would turn my head around and she'd look

  69. at the part on my hair. And sometimes she'd wet her old thomb with

  70. her tongue and fix a cow lick on my head. And man, I'm

  71. telling you why I love you. If you hear this. But I would

  72. smell her breath. I knew she had busted her teeth. She was a

  73. clean woman, but i'd smell that. I thought. I wish she'd quit

  74. turning my head. She'd make me look at her. She'd turned my head

  75. towards her. So let's read this again. Turn thou us unto thee old

  76. Lord, and we shall be turned. She would turn my head for an

  77. inspection. Turn thou us unto thee old Lord, and we shall be turned

  78. renew our day's ass of old. Can we pray, Heavenly Father, we

  79. love and we praise you. We thank you for the opportunity to be in

  80. the house of the Lord. I'm thankful for the testimonies that we heard,

  81. exhortations, admonishments. Oh, God, has been food for our soul.

  82. I pray that you would anoint this thy servant set of God in my mouth

  83. and help me to say the things that you would have me to say,

  84. nothing more or less. Anoint tears of this not people, that they might

  85. hear what the spirits say at the church and through this word of God,

  86. this preach word of God. I pray God, let these sails go below

  87. the shoulders, help of God to receive it in their heart and mind and

  88. spirits. I pray that we would love you with everything that is within us,

  89. including to love your word. Help us to not be here as only

  90. but doers. And may we depart this place joyfully and none sorrowfully. In

  91. Jesus name. Amen. As you're being seated, ask your neighbor, Hey,

  92. neighbor, are you going by worldpool or world wind? I want to

  93. preach a message that the Holy ghost. Title Rural Pools and Whirlwinds our text

  94. has found in an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible. The title this

  95. book of the Bible is Lamentations. As anyone present to not ever heard the

  96. loud cries of those who are lamenting. Unfortunately, as a pastor, and

  97. even as a preacher, before I became a pastor, I had the responsibility

  98. of officiating funeral services. And I know what it is to experience people lamenting,

  99. and to be green and so sorrowful, to have my spirit grown because

  100. I watch children and parents and kin people more in the laws of someone that

  101. was so special to them. Brother Tyler, it is an awesome thing to

  102. be in the presence of somebody that is truly lamenting, somebody that loves somebody

  103. greatly and they love that person, and because of the separates of the love

  104. between those twain people, we find that person lamenting. And all how it

  105. stirs our hearts and it causes us great pain. If we have a heart,

  106. that is, if we have a gizzard, we probably are insincsative and

  107. we don't feel that. But the author of this book of Lamentations is Jeremiah,

  108. and Jeremiah is known as the weep and prophet, and undoubtedly this man

  109. was full of sorrow, a man of constant sorrow. If you study the

  110. life and the ministerial years of this prophet Jeremiah, you will see this as

  111. a man that even at times felt overwhelmed because of the sinful condition of this

  112. city of Jerusalem and of the nation of Israel. He would be disturbed about

  113. what was going on within the land of Judah. We find that this man,

  114. Jeremiah would see stop day nor night to pray, asking God to sit

  115. a revival amongst his people and for God to turn them from their wicked ways.

  116. If you would, he would request of God to turn their heads from

  117. the focus of this world and make them focus again on the things that really

  118. mattered, such as serving Jehovah, God or Yah. Way, you could

  119. tell that Jeremiah is a man that is very passionate and further and spirit This

  120. is a man that's going to use the voice that God has given him to

  121. proclaim and preach the truth that God has put in his heart. In fact,

  122. there would be times that Jeremiah would become discouraged because of the lack of

  123. reception of what he had to say. People simply did not want to hear

  124. what Jeremiah said God had given him to say unto them. And there were

  125. times that Jeremiah said that shit, I'm folding up the note book, I've

  126. put the part eachment away and throwing the pin away. I'm not gonna speak

  127. anymore in the Lord's name, because every time that I speak in the Lord's

  128. name, they have this feeling that I have put myself above them. They

  129. have this feeling that who does he think he is? Who lifted him up

  130. and who elevated him and put him at such a position that he could preach

  131. to me and look down upon me and point me in the direction of my

  132. sin and tell me that I'm on a spiraling, spiraling slope. I'm just

  133. going downward. Who is this man to preach to me? He was the

  134. prophet, the preacher, the one that had been specially specifically chosen by God

  135. to preach to God's people. These are supposed to be God's people. They're

  136. supposed to be willing to hear what thus saith the Lord. They're supposed to

  137. have an appetite to hear from God. They're supposed to be crave mean to

  138. hear somebody speak unto them what God desires to say unto them. But instead

  139. we find this propt saying I would speak in the name of the Lord,

  140. and I would get discouraged because nobody wanted to hear what I had to say.

  141. And I would decide if gainst preaching anymore. But his way would be

  142. in my heart like a power shut up in my balls. And I'm too

  143. weary but not preaching. I can't hold back. There's no way I cannot

  144. preaching us. The same thing that Apostle Paul declared wanted to me. If

  145. I preach not to Gospel and preach it, I want to encourage you to

  146. preach without regards, without fear or faith for her. Do not look for

  147. the applause, the approval, and the affirmation of humanity and mankind. Just

  148. be inst to end season and out of season, preaching the Word, whether

  149. they like it or not. Even a hair left's grandma. If you're preaching

  150. what thus said the Word of God, you have nothing to feel condemned about.

  151. There's nothing to be ashamed about. But you might find yourself weeping over

  152. the fact that they would not receive it. If we find that this property

  153. of Minah here pins five chapters that take this book of limitations and comprise this

  154. book of limitation. And whether Nathaniel he's speaking after having wept, and he's

  155. lamented about the box sliding people, people that would watch a group of believers,

  156. people that believe in Jehovah, people that sawt childra as their provider,

  157. people that salt rapper as their healer. And this is a body of believers,

  158. if you would. It's not a group of infidels. It's not supposed

  159. to be a nation that is forsaken God and being turned into hell. This

  160. is supposed to be that people of God. And we see that this propert

  161. is weeping because these people that are named by the name of God, they

  162. call themselves believes. They call themselves the OUs three, the descendants of Abraham,

  163. Isaac and Jacob and children are the most type of God. And those

  164. of you that know the national history of Israel, you will know that there

  165. would come times that they would have to repent in order to be restored into

  166. a good functional relationship with Jehovah or yard Way. And we find here that

  167. these people had backslid various times throughout the nation of Israel's history, they would

  168. backslide, they would repent them and come back to God. Those of you

  169. that know the history of the bethl Holiness Church knows that we have never experienced

  170. losing the entire church family to the world or to the ever or the sin.

  171. I am so thankful that I've never had to walk into my office and

  172. collapse in the floor and say, God, I lost every member on the

  173. Bethel Holiness Church since we because they loved the world where they obeyed the lust

  174. of the pleasure and they fell for the prod of life. Other have stidn't

  175. be or jealousy or not as a bitterness. Catil Oh. No, I've

  176. never had to weep over the total annihilation and destruction of the Bethel Holiness Church.

  177. And Jeremiah couldnot say this, and he is weeping over an entire loss

  178. of what was the people of God, and the people of God was his

  179. people, God, Nathaniel, we find that in the Bethel Church history there's

  180. been times that we have lost one or two or maybe even a family,

  181. and we have mourned over that loss. Better, Chase did not know what

  182. I was going to preach old tonight, but he said what can be done

  183. in order to get the box slider to turn around? I sit over there

  184. quietly and thank my God for the confirmation up tonight's message through Bena ri Chacob.

  185. And how many of you know that God can put to hook in the

  186. child and those box sliders and they're going to tell your relatives are not to

  187. and come on by Elisaically they were your relatives because they were part of the

  188. family of God. Oh yes, I miss them, and I know that

  189. if we can get gone to put a hook in their child, God can

  190. turn them around. That's what our text us saying. The author of this

  191. writing is saying, God, our nation needs somebody to turn lay ahead and

  192. there somebody's gotta be you, God. I know that we live in a

  193. time with most Americans say that the United States of America is no longer a

  194. Christian nation. Why is this? Because the Bible propheside that never come times

  195. and in every nation, dominion, and kingdom, when there would be great

  196. to falling away, we find a chair of our witness to a great falling

  197. away, a great removal of people that lived in the Promised Land, the

  198. great destruction of the literal house of Cod and do it away within the city

  199. and other peace and sister, we'd buy a grace of Cod the BeCl Holiness

  200. Church and is still here, powerfuls and steal across the street. The building

  201. is air condition and the us are padded. The musicians are still players.

  202. Stimpili has annointed by the Lord A. Teachers are still teaching, and the

  203. preachers are still preaching. We still gotta play something to come to church out.

  204. We still got a place something to worship. Cad here that I still

  205. got my brother on my right and my sister on my left. I have

  206. not had to let me take the way to Toby Indead and asked the question

  207. why that we can ware that what happened. I'll tell you what happened is

  208. when the people that refused to hear the word of God ms America that they

  209. longer rested here. Let this says the word of Cod and if he could

  210. just get the people to pray that the people will puss us again that all

  211. revival. That then I believe that that God to turn this country around.

  212. I don't play of a service we preach in and every message that we deliver

  213. in order to encourage people to pursue and pray for revival. There's gonna be

  214. that person with ampathy and lethargic person, brother Jesse, that just says,

  215. what's the use. It's been proposide that this would happen. It's been proclaimed

  216. that before Jesus comes back, this will happen. Everybody's gonna backslide. The

  217. rights should scarcely be saved, which others the sinner and uncodly appear, and

  218. pretty soon it's just doom and gloom, and nobody believes anybody can be turned

  219. around. Nobody believes the backslider's got anything to come home to. Everybody feels

  220. like the backslide in their heart. And come on, the great commission was

  221. given to us. Come on to be active and actively pursuing the sinner until

  222. the return of Christ. I see this in Jeremiah. I see this in

  223. Noah. I see this and most of these feeders, these men were pushing

  224. for the deliverance of the people up until the last my minute before the turret

  225. close. So there's a cernity to be preacher, there's a sinner to be

  226. reached for. What are you talking about, Preacher, You just hain't tight.

  227. We'll get there in a minute, but I'll take for the night.

  228. And about five or six months ago God reached her into this building to put

  229. his hand, put some young mind, and your woden had turned ahead,

  230. and he turned the heart. He put their focus back up on the Bible.

  231. O. Yes, sir, in the midst of a great fall in

  232. any cat said he saved the body. He filled them with the Holy Ghost.

  233. They walked on down at the rail point. They don't hope they're got

  234. in there along with jentermis weeping up to the last minute. He's praying up

  235. to the last minute. He's proclaimed, y'all think about this, How did

  236. you here in my field? After seeing the destruction and the desolation of such

  237. a beautiful place? I cannot relate? Thank God for his mercy. Thank

  238. God that I didn't pull up tonight and see that Russia or China had bombed

  239. our church and we had no place together. Thank God that I did not

  240. pull up tonight and see that the devil had laid waste to this place or

  241. house or worship because the people's disobedience. No, they were obedient together,

  242. and not for sake of the assuming of themselves together. They were obedient and

  243. keeping God the commandments of God. They were obedient and turning away from the

  244. world and turning unto God. Or come on, now, these people had

  245. been warned bout you to Maiah. You know how long he had warned them

  246. of what was coming? For forty years since the hell. He had warned

  247. them that they would be carried away in the captivity under city destroyed. That's

  248. a long time to preacher to include. Oh yes, after that, many

  249. decades of preaching, four decades of preaching and team and gloom and every now

  250. and then killing somebody's liver. But Hope had l flight of mercy. He's

  251. preached like this, and let you know what, with the road cap it.

  252. He was not the only messenger to preacher to gods people. The very

  253. thing that cheered my let's preaching. His contemporary say, we're preaching the same

  254. time. They were speaking as the oracles of God. They were speaking as

  255. the mouthpieces said of God. But those old preachers me and would not the

  256. older warncher they had preached it. I want you to know that Jeremiah was

  257. simply echoing the words of a man of cordment that was there when they found

  258. fulfillment with the promised land. His name was Joshua. Joshua had warned them

  259. eight hundred years fire, and they're down. Came with deed when they begin

  260. to result to rely upon their own feelings, and when they would rely on

  261. that on their own way, when there were two days as right in their

  262. own lives. To this case, that is fucked. The result to but

  263. just a bad decision. Only in this case it's the judgment of God.

  264. Listen. With God knocks the domino's over, you can rest ashore. There

  265. won't be one dominare still standing. They ever conticides the deed, and when

  266. he goes to do it, he will do it perfect judgment. Every disobedient

  267. person will not be left standing. Every goat will not be left unturned.

  268. The Lord will turn some goats and some unruly and disobedient people, some transgressors

  269. that are looking to go where the lambs are going, and he will turn

  270. their heaven and say you got to go over there. How many of you

  271. remember there was a time in American history when the schools and public facilities audited

  272. segregation. The black people would in one direction and the white people would in

  273. another. The blacks and rights did not cohabitate. But the Jesse they did

  274. not mix some mingle in the secular school system. They didn't mix some mingle

  275. in the church. They just simply were segregated. They didn't drink out of

  276. the same water fountain. I met a World War two better in midday.

  277. He said the same thing my grand daddy said. The black person drink out

  278. of the water parla designated with the black person, and the white person drink

  279. out of a water pount designated designated for a white person to drink out of.

  280. What are you talking about right here, pastor? I'm telling you this

  281. nation has come to the truth in a lot of ways. This nation has

  282. improved in a lot of ways. But even though there's been some improvement,

  283. we have also lost some critical ground that people fought for. Not only this

  284. sort of that we thank God for that we tread under foot, sometimes thatefully

  285. and sometimes unthankfully. We don't realize that America was founding, our founding fathers,

  286. that love of people, that loved God, that loves liberty, that

  287. loves sing the freedoms and liberty, so all that we take that for granted,

  288. that we disregard the treat that being lack. Josh will and cheer in

  289. my own that come on. A media preacher and the founding fathers said,

  290. until now has told that America that whatever happened to jerusman, that he can

  291. happen to America. Whatever happened to China can happen to America. We come

  292. deceived that we believe that that we cannot fall old. Yes, America,

  293. that light cap calap said in a moment, it's a proper said from common

  294. that it will collapsa. I said it will collaps so that they said it

  295. prosaves Cora. That Protista's Marta shall be turned into hell, shall be turned

  296. into a third world country, shall be turned into a country where nobody owns

  297. property, shall be turned into a third world country where there are no crops,

  298. the harvest shall be carried away into captivity by invaders from foreign saw.

  299. Now, let's don't beat bloom and gloom only here, y'all bear with me.

  300. I'm hoping to preach the flips out of this here in a minute.

  301. These people were worn. There's holiness of Pentecostal churches all throughout the world,

  302. in every state of these United States that I know of There are proclaimers of

  303. the truth, and there are members and seekers of the truth, and they

  304. speak as the mouthpiece of God, and they live as examples of this living

  305. word of God. I am not the only voice that has been heralding the

  306. truth. Jeremiah was simply echoing what Joshua had said. And Joshua was repeating

  307. what Jehovah had said. And I want to tell our young preachers something.

  308. You will preach other the same message of repentance that's trying to Baptist's message.

  309. You will preach other the same message repent that child, the Baptist preacher that

  310. was the greatest preacher of all, that when you will not be preaching at

  311. all, you can give a treach tich. You can preach it from only

  312. sermon that you can give it this sermon title. But if you do not

  313. preacher, if people's not to turn it, but they won't turn, that

  314. you are not preaching at all. How feel the Holy custup in this house?

  315. How go it's time to be glass. I go, It's time to

  316. receive the promise Chousa was said. He but you better remember if there ever

  317. comes a time of the day when you weren't fearful I the living God.

  318. It's such a way that you carelessly great because because I'm not taking you want

  319. to lose it. I don't want to be dourny going old here. But

  320. in this case, this is judgment, perfect judgment. Not one stone left

  321. unturn, not one name for, not one person that hasn't been expected and

  322. evaluated, not one person that hasn't been scrutinis, not one person that hasn't

  323. been analyzed. I feel the Holy Ghost Joshua was said in Joshua twenty three

  324. sixteen. When ye have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, your god,

  325. which he commanded you, and have gone has served other gods and boulge herself

  326. to them. Then the anger of the lords I be killing on against you,

  327. and ye parents quickly from off the good land which he has killn you.

  328. Now we preached this past Sunday night, and we shouted about the inheritance

  329. on the eleven tribes and how the lines of their boundaries failed in pleasant places.

  330. So we talked about them, the other tribe that had the Lord as

  331. their inheritance. But here Joshua was warning them. After the prior verse,

  332. I promise see them wonderful things. He said, God can remove you from

  333. that killing land, that land and for a time when milk and honey got

  334. to remove you, pull out place something little preacher, preachers who do the

  335. annoyance, that God can remove you from the place something to him, remove

  336. you to a land when you were spirits family for the first time. Can

  337. you pine away for something to eat? I'm telling you what. God can

  338. turn you from the plassic in a moment. Tell Joshua was said, he

  339. could do it quickly, quickly. He shall perish quickly from off of the

  340. land which he has given you. He's given it to us. It's our

  341. inheritance. We should not take it lightly. In that verse, Joshua was

  342. concerned, is these people know what has been given to them. He knows

  343. these people's potential potential in order to be blessed of God and to receive of

  344. God. But also he knows something called original sin. He knows the aandemic

  345. and nature of a man kind or humanity. He knows that man can get

  346. quickly deceived. He knows that because of what happened to Mother Eve. He

  347. knows that man can be manipulated. He knows that man can be outcunned and

  348. outwitted if they do not rely upon the Lord. And soon after this,

  349. brother Nathaniel, he knows that when they have been turned away from the Lord,

  350. they will be turned unto other gods, and they will begin to do

  351. a soloman none. They will bow o be sins to other gods, and

  352. then they will tread on a slippery swamp. Will come on, now,

  353. it's what I felt like, Doctor on me. Then they will tread on

  354. a slippery slope, and then they will tumble, and as they fall,

  355. the fault itself will be perpetual. It will never be wherever they say I

  356. fell until I hit rock bottom. That's what God spoken in my heart.

  357. It will be a perpetual tumbling. It will be a perpetual down with spiral,

  358. a downra spiral that leads up to destruction. If you take that,

  359. you want to write that down a person before you turned that, or wry

  360. from the house and cod before you turn that way from the person book and

  361. the people are tired, remember that personal hod will say it that tout said.

  362. It will be a countless spiral that leads up to eternal downation and destruction.

  363. Is anybody here tonight knowing example within nature of an airless spiral. If

  364. you listen to my child on that, you know what it is. It's

  365. a world pool, Sister rudeness. Seemed like God told me to creature to

  366. put a coastal people, the Holiness Goodment, the Brockleholist Church up and let

  367. him know. You don't want that part of the world pool. You don't

  368. want to be stirling downward. Call that pot, get a word poor.

  369. It has been said it is something or someone gets called in a world pool.

  370. There is no escape for that thing, whether object or person. There

  371. is no hope of escape for that object or that person that gets called in

  372. the world pool, whether the rule. It makes me think of the New

  373. Testament scriptures that God will send strong delusion. You know why they can't know

  374. the truth and be set free and liberate it because they believe the lie and

  375. they work down. You better be careful who's turning your head. You better

  376. be careful what all you're turning. You better be careful what freturn you turn

  377. it to. You better be careful what the fing you visited? Or come

  378. on now slid it? He looked out because you know and he's sorrow,

  379. young man, a simple man turning into a place, and he should watch

  380. it and visited that. I feel the hole it goes to get in this

  381. house. I'm talking about that world pull. Better time to stare at You

  382. know what happens when somebody else, something gets caught to in the world pull.

  383. They need somebody on an out and sucking it is outside it for the

  384. world pulls to rescue there. That is their only handfu about there. He

  385. gon be a swallow. That's the only handfuck rescue in this station. When

  386. I turn to God that is America, you'll humble hers so out and turned

  387. from our waking days. If our children, if our mobs and touch,

  388. we'll reach up out of the whirlpool, asked Peter. You might be going

  389. down, hey, but if you'll reach up, if you reach up,

  390. you can't reach down. You gotta reach up to that reaching down hand.

  391. The whirlpools. In that world pool, there's all sorts of debris. There's

  392. all kinds of filth. We took brother Philip out on the boat and visited

  393. some private beaches and some really cool islands, and we got out there and

  394. where nobody else was, and it was though as though we own our own

  395. private beaches, our own private land, and brother gave it. There was

  396. one place where we got in we could tell the current was really strong,

  397. and I told him, I said, riptide is a real thing. And

  398. I looked at one of my sons and I said, you probably just about

  399. to the point of where that current is, and if you go any further,

  400. you can be called up in that in a moment. And Brother Nathaniel,

  401. we wouldn't have had time to get to the boat. We would have

  402. tried, and maybe he would have known him the proper way of going with

  403. the riptide and swimming towards the shore. But Brother Jesse, I'm not preaching

  404. on a riptide here tonight. I'm not talking about somebody kind of moving outward

  405. but get parallel with the shore. I'm talking about somebody that's already got called

  406. up and you're spinning and spiraling out of control. Oh come on now,

  407. I don't want to preach dum and gloom, but I come on, Mama,

  408. you know that Veglan, when you saw your son get caught up in

  409. bad you were making his bed. I have happened here. But if your

  410. parents don't get a hold of God, we could be dead in Golden y'all

  411. could be dealing with this. It's a very difficult thing for a mother to

  412. go in a room and find some sort of surren rap and see some green

  413. leafy substance and residue on that surrend wrapper, and they're realize, my son

  414. is trucking. Now you talk about going from being rock steady that mother,

  415. I guess stuff you knock, her head is swimming. Okay. Oh,

  416. now you can see that look in a young person's eyes when you visit the

  417. can't eat it and you can tell they're not in this service. So they're

  418. prom dizzy like dizzy demas they do so be asy focus on. Oh hold

  419. no, lad, they can't see straight. They're so truck hold the wall,

  420. they can't make straight. Hey, I'm preaching to somebody here in the

  421. knock. Hey, you're not in a riptide, you're in a lawyer with

  422. you're in a laypool. Then I want you to go. They won't get

  423. it live down and they're everlasting. Told me you'll feel it. You know

  424. you're there the cross up and you're saying, hell, I cut out hello.

  425. That's what happened to those the fall against Moses. The Bible said the

  426. ground opened up and swallowed them alive. Brother Philip. When they speak of

  427. opening up, it almost seemed to me like to open something, it had

  428. to generate it, like when you see it an hour glass flipped over.

  429. You had to have seen sand and trees and grass and shrubbery and people disappeared.

  430. Are y'all listening to me? I see it going on as spiritual whirlpools

  431. taking place. People no longer want to believe the Bible literally, people no

  432. longer want to keep his commandments. They wonder what's happening in this country while

  433. we have all of these mass shootings. Why is all of this going on

  434. in the school system? They're being swallowed alive. Can somebody hear their cries?

  435. Can somebody reach the hand to them and rescue them? Cause somebody thrown

  436. them alive? Like can somebody throw them a scripture verse? Cause somebody preach

  437. to them? Come on now, Jesus and his word will always be outside

  438. other downward spiral. I'm preaching on the whirlpool or a whirlwind? What is

  439. it? You're caught up here? Now? About five months ago we had

  440. a revival, and I can tell you I who looked at the heels of

  441. people that were once up. They come on standing on the earth, so

  442. to speaker and motionless, expressionless, but now you can tell they've been lifted

  443. up and swept up off their pizza in the high places. The Bible said

  444. that Elijah had told Elisha, if you'll just keep watching me, if you'll

  445. keep doing what I'm doing, keep living the way you I'm telling you,

  446. when God comes to get me, you're gonna see the spear of God that

  447. come down upon me. And the Bible said it and came to pie.

  448. So as they still went on and talked to the whole, that they appeared

  449. the chair in the pire, and horses apire and part of them both a

  450. Sunday, and Elijah went up by word, we went in the heaven.

  451. Alisa had been concerned about the whole going an Elijah. And you know what,

  452. there were other young preachers. They were just like Jones couplers, so

  453. they are not comple at all. But Alosa kept up his eyes on Elijo.

  454. And I'm telling you we better keep up our eyes on the book the

  455. whole Amboda. We're gonna keep our eyes up on the peachures against of you.

  456. We gotta keep our eyes out on the law of the prophet. So

  457. we gotta keep our eyes were talking to practising, and it's word say,

  458. we gotta keep our eyes out Jesus this. Anybody feel this, because there's

  459. gonna be a catching a lay the church tell I said, there's gonna be

  460. a catching a layer. Let the trump trump, the taches dot com and

  461. God on that that what's final. The chach will be called up and gon

  462. with the law that in the air. Which direction are you going? In?

  463. Which direction are you going? In Lemertations three and one, Jeremiah saying,

  464. I am the man that has witnessed his words are seen affliction by the

  465. rod of his wrath. Jeremiah saying concerning the people of God and God,

  466. he said, I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of

  467. his wrath. He said, I saw God warned him out like nobody else

  468. can wear them out. I saw them get caught up in a whirlpool and

  469. be diminished and dissolved in a moment. But second kings too, when ten

  470. says, and he said, thou hast asked a hard thing. Elisha Elijah

  471. speaking Nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from THEE, it

  472. shall be so unto THEE. But if not, it shall not be so.

  473. I want you to notice two things. It's the same word that stood

  474. up to me in both verses. See and right here, if you see,

  475. Oh, come on, we're blessed that we know the truth. We're

  476. blessed that we can see it. They saw that preacher, preacher, they

  477. heard the words of that preacher, and they also saw the chastening God of

  478. God as he begin to chastise these people. Oh come on, now,

  479. Elijah, you better listen to me. There is an Elishah behind you that

  480. is following you, and Elishah listen to me. If you are not going

  481. in the right direction, you are not going to end up in the same

  482. place that Elijah ended up here, because if Elishah had a said, you

  483. know what, Elijah, I'm not gonna across the river because I don't know

  484. how I'll get back. We'll come on. Now. My Bibles were for

  485. the early Church, and miracles were for the early Church. And I don't

  486. need that same experience. I don't need that same mincor But I likes something.

  487. You gotta follow me all the way and had an unexpected moment. There

  488. will be an unexpected turn on. You can't I gonna talk on yell about

  489. head. I'll tell my dream come preacher. Sometimes you gotta be that it's

  490. poor water that on the hand of the preacher. Sometimes I gotta do stand

  491. up and you ain't marry corner and follow the man of time. We'll come

  492. on now the duck creature, and you decide to go in a different direction

  493. that you will never experience her a man being taken away, I'll run me.

  494. Akay, you wore there, spiencent to yourself being taken away. I'll

  495. run me the rest the shirt that's a little cool. He'll open up be

  496. one day I'm saying, don't go about work alone. What's it? Gonnaday?

  497. What's going You're going about one of the other h I feel the Holy

  498. ghosts in this place. Jeremiah's lamenting because of the condition of God's people,

  499. and it is a terrible situation. When I think about just thirty years ago,

  500. I could go just about anywhere within a Pentecostal or a holiness movement or

  501. church and be safe. Not within nominal churches. For the most part,

  502. but amongst independent, autonomous people, you could feel safe. But now Jeremiah's

  503. realizing this store is closed. This store is closed. This store is closes.

  504. And while everybody continued being, they just to said where God's people,

  505. and then being divided in heart spirit, and paying obessance and worshiping your Mother

  506. of Gods, and saying, I'll take a little bit of the world and

  507. a little bit of God. I have a little carnality in me and a

  508. little righteous spirituality in me. Hey, come on a little eleven eleven as

  509. a whole love. Jeremiahs sorrogn begin to gradually pull away from God until they

  510. got to the place they were walking away from God. Then they're running from

  511. God. But then came the fall, Then came the stumble. The man

  512. wrote a song one time. You may run home for a long time,

  513. but God Almighty is gonna cut you down. I want you to know you

  514. cannot outrun the world. Poor, I said, you could not outrun the

  515. world. Pull the ground will begin to move under your feet. The Bible

  516. said that held itself has enlarged herself right there under your feet. Come on

  517. our picture to somebody, and here that not you might be listening to north

  518. speaker. They're a live god casting you might be right here in this building.

  519. I don't know who you are, but I know that even though I've

  520. got so much on my mind, it's so much better than me right now,

  521. regardless of people's health condition. I want you to know I got a

  522. burden to preach to you. You're gonna come in about a right up here

  523. where we are, I said, God, let me keep her, come

  524. out and let her live holy. Let me turn to the water, Let

  525. me turn into youth pot he likes to be. Let to step past it

  526. in the heaven, Let me be not the light shap Let me step fast,

  527. say in my heaven, and the mister, this world that's busting a

  528. part of the scene, and say and told about the wayside, Lift up

  529. the head, hundred the difference on the ass making the blue top uting little

  530. peach. But lift up little head. Jesus is coming from all high,

  531. preacher. What about this? What about this? Should we be nervous about

  532. this? Should we be concerned about this? Let's just pray about it.

  533. But I'm seeing these things come to pass, and I'm saying, thank you,

  534. Lord, thank you. Those two war veterans befriended me. Today.

  535. Some people despise it when I say this. I can't lie. It's the

  536. God's honest truth. My wife and my daughter watched it happen. I fasted

  537. and prayed for ten years for this gift. I didn't ask God to speak

  538. to me in this manner, and I'm just sharing it with you. Just

  539. let brother l didn't want to share things. I'm not trying to put myself

  540. on the plane with him. I'm a nobody. But we walked in there

  541. for my wife to go undergo serious testing. She was very concerned, to

  542. put it loudly, head I knew when she opened that door a couple of

  543. times to see if I was out there, I knew her. She's very

  544. concerned. That's not like you, mother. And I finally just went in

  545. there with her and sat in there with her and prayed, and I said,

  546. You're gonna be fine. But Brothers Jessee, when we walked in that

  547. reading all that year clinic, there was these old men there. One of

  548. 'em was older than the other. When I walked in, I might have

  549. been twenty thirty people. There's that right, Hannah. As soon as I

  550. walked in the Holy go sit that old man over there to watching, And

  551. so I walked in. To be honest with you, I went to the

  552. farthest corner because I didn't know what that meant. And I tried to talk

  553. back under the TV in the corner to Hannah, and he immediately got up.

  554. Am I telling a lie or nothing? And I had told him and

  555. said, he's watching, and it's all happened in less than two seconds.

  556. We walked right in the door went down. As soon as I sat down,

  557. he popped up, hobbled over there. Brother Jesse, he humbled right

  558. over there, and he was cutting up with Hannah Coles. Sister hanwell goes

  559. one way. I go one way, trying to hide, and Sister Hannah,

  560. she's right there. You can't hide in front of thirty people. She

  561. knew better. I just got the NC and he says, well, I

  562. tell your marriages on the rocks. He's laughing. He said, no,

  563. I'm a minister of the gospel. And then while he was talking, he

  564. said you're a Christian, aren't you? And uh, I said yeah,

  565. I'm a Christian. He says, so am I I'm a preacher. But

  566. what caught my attention was World War two vett. I jumped up out of

  567. my seat. He had sit down on one chair away from it, got

  568. right beside him. I went to shape down on ninety six year old gentleman's

  569. hand, and he gave me the fist bump instead, and I said,

  570. well, that's all right. And then across from him was this man paralyzed

  571. on his left side. And when he heard me say you're a World War

  572. two vet, that man jumped up. Im I tell it right, Hannah,

  573. and humbled over there to that World War two vet, and he said,

  574. man, I'm honored just to be able to meet a World War two

  575. veteran. I mean the atmosphere was electrified and charged immediately, and that World

  576. War two veteran, he said, pretty much he knew I was a soldier

  577. of the Cross, Brother Samuel, now that you've got the holy ghost.

  578. He went into Arby's over there just a couple weeks ago for jury duty.

  579. He went in there to eat breakfast. He said, this old gentleman jumped

  580. up and walked over there and said, you're a preacher, hl Brother sam

  581. I said, I had never heard that life only been preaching four or five

  582. months. People knew a soldier, wouldn't they see one? And sister Hammon,

  583. there was one coming like us at another soldier. We didn't know it.

  584. And he said, sir, it's so good to meet you. I

  585. am honored. And then he returned to his seat. Sit down, and

  586. the old World War two better than myself. We knew a soldier when we

  587. saw one, and he and he said what war did you serve him?

  588. He said, desert storm, sir, And he said where did you serve

  589. it? Specifically? He told us he tilted his head down. He had

  590. a big head wound right here on this side of his head, didn't he,

  591. Sister Hannah, And he said, as as old a fight for this

  592. country. He said, I paralyzed to this day on my left side.

  593. And brother Jessee, the air got electrified and charged again. And I'll sit

  594. thank you for your service, sir. And I'm telling you those guys just

  595. talked again and turned out they were both preachers. They both loved the Bible.

  596. I told her sister, how, I said, Ben I love to

  597. hang out with him guys about once a month and hear them tell their stories.

  598. The brother road cap. They were fascinated with me. I was fascinated

  599. with him. There was something about these men that fascinated me. And I

  600. got confirmation of something I've said over the years and said, it's recently a

  601. Sunday, the World War two generation is the best generation. I chopped up

  602. out of my seat and I said, could mister Desert Storm, I said,

  603. sir, you are rocked. I just told my church now and the

  604. old man, he's not a six years old sitting there, look pretty good.

  605. He said in a sid boys, we fought to win. Now,

  606. we didn't fight to leave our life. Now, come on down. They

  607. as people gonna go down there when the ship it'll run a pool that I

  608. was talking about, Americ man go down, but there's gonna be some people

  609. go up. I said, I'm not going it down. Look put this

  610. ship, I'm not going it down. Git along, I said. Those

  611. two soldiers spoke, They spoke confidently of what they fought for. Mister Desert

  612. Storm said, look right here, look right here, mister world War two,

  613. look right here, pastor how he said on this application that I'm feeling

  614. out right here. He said there asking for mister and misresss Hey, praise

  615. God, he said, it ain't it? It ain't if what it is

  616. and hate sister. How there was liberals all around. What the sister had

  617. them. I didn't cringe a bit, they didn't clinch a bit. Then

  618. he started talking about the liberals trying to destroy our country. Hey, come

  619. on, now, nobody did others going down to the world pool assist pool

  620. killing up balls and twy us. They're our country, stud storm cort we

  621. kip me our soldier. I said about whom gonna go up hobout compared to

  622. the over contract. Neither one of them men that had fault throw all glory

  623. wanting to believe that he's faded. Neither one of them men wanted to say

  624. old glory tattered and ripped. So I thought that that ninety six year old

  625. man could just get his strength back. The Jeremiah thought, if I could

  626. just preach again, I'd do it all over another forty years. Joshua was

  627. a military genius, a great general, and he had said, the nation

  628. that begins to forget what God told him to do, you'll lose it all.

  629. It ain't to this nation doesn't have fighters, and chance is that this

  630. nation is refusing to use the voice. But brother Jesse, even though that

  631. man had the battle scar, and the battle warner says to how you talked

  632. about tonight the scars. There was more fighting him than I wanted them illegal

  633. Americans that were around us, and look at at them like they were crazy.

  634. And I knew right then, brother Tyler, even right now, if

  635. I had to fight the war, I'd take a ninety six year old room

  636. and a cripples vetters. I'm a feeling to appreciate our peers can decide to

  637. compromise and start preaching the truth, and we might seeing nothing but a hand

  638. go down in the whirlpoole. But brother Samuel, we all remember this,

  639. young preachers. We don't have to go down with them. We're going up.

  640. We're gonna turn from sin. I put a holder goes. Let's stand

  641. up here this boss. You get the lobo held teeth, nor get too,

  642. Horda bade. Let's find the Lord. Our text said, turned down

  643. us into the old Lord, and we shall be turned renew our days as

  644. of old. If you could hear that old timer he's saying, if I

  645. could just fight again, And I want to ask the question, which way

  646. are you turning? Or you turn it to the left, you turn into

  647. the right. These people need to turn from their wickedness and the God.

  648. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and

  649. pray and seek my face, and turn from there with your ways, then

  650. will I hear from heaven and will forgive her sin, and will heal their

  651. land. Notice what he said, If people which are called by my name,

  652. they proclaim and profess to be the people of God. But this is

  653. what I want you to know. It takes more than the name of America.

  654. It takes more than the name of Christian. It takes more than a

  655. name which are called by my name. It's true, whether steriisgeneration must turn

  656. or burn. Notice they don't need to turn, only they need to return.

  657. According to our scripture, they need to return, and they're asking that

  658. they be restored as in the days of olds to how these are people that

  659. know the walk, These are people that know the talk. Two points I

  660. want to leave with you. They need to return so they can be renewed.

  661. It's what it says in our tips. They had a place to go

  662. back to the old days, the old ways. I still like the old

  663. time, preaching prayer, singing a shot. I still like to listen to

  664. Brother Carl and Elis say on the way to church, I still like these

  665. songs in the red back temper Or, Elisha, if you're gonna go to

  666. the place where Elijah is going, it's gonna take the same walk and the

  667. same talk, preacher. If they used to live it that way, we're

  668. gonna have to live it this way. If they used to live it that

  669. way, we're gonna have to live it that same way. If they used

  670. to have to preach it like that, we're gonna have to preach it like

  671. that, Elisha. If you want to double anointing in a double portion of

  672. what Elijah had, no matter who dislikes it or likes it, you better

  673. do it the way Elijah did. If you're gonna go buy the world,

  674. will repent and be renewed, repent and be remented. Rether Jesse, would

  675. you come to the piano, I thought, Sister. Wouldn't them two veterans,

  676. they don't have anything to repent over, but their bodies had failed them.
