Transcript
-
Hereby, and the book rack on the back of the pew, would you
-
turned lead to the Book of Isaiah. The Book of Isaiah, the preacher,
-
prophet, seer, mighty Man of God. Isaiah was known to be
-
a prophet among prophets, a preacher among preachers. He was really in tune
-
with the Lord. He had a mind for the things of God. He
-
was able to hear from God and relay it properly to God's people, whether
-
they received it or not. The words that he spoke to them were accurate
-
and precise. They were the words of God. And he is known as
-
a major prophet because the length of his writings. He had so much to
-
say. I don't know how much I'll have to say tonight, but I
-
guess we had minor preachers and major preachers. I don't know, you know,
-
they say the guys that didn't have a whole lot to say, like
-
aimless some of the other ones, they were minor prophets. I don't really
-
believe that or have backing. That's what they say. They're major because of
-
the length of their right and save that. Huh, y'all get that?
-
So may God just bless us tonight to preach for two hours a d.
-
Thirty years from now, when they're looking through the sermon archives, they can
-
say that guy was so boring or he was a major teacher. All right,
-
the Book of Isaiah, Man, direct your attention to the first chapter
-
in the eighth verse, Brother Nathaniel, Isaiah Chapter number five and verse number
-
twenty, Please, sir, Brother Jesse's Psalm Champion number two, Versus number
-
two and three. Isaiah Chapter number one and verse number eight. Brother Nathaniel,
-
Isaiah, Champion number five, Verse number twenty, Brother jes see Psalm
-
Chapter number two and verses two and three, Brother Nathaniel, would you read
-
that tonight woe to them that call evil good and good evil, that put
-
darkness for light, in life for darkness, that put bitter for sweet and
-
sweet forbid. Sounds to me like Isaiah's preaching to the folks of this generation.
-
But it wasn't. But because we have our copy of the King James
-
Version Bible, we're able to see how relevant his preaching to that former generation
-
is to this present generation. So we can conclude that the Word of God
-
is absolute truth and relevant to all generations. Aren't you amazed at how centuries
-
go by century after century after century, and the Word of God is still
-
applicable of that generation. All of this makes sense to every generation, sure
-
does. The words of this writing never gets old. It never changes.
-
It never will change. That's gonna be what I emphasize to my Truth never
-
changes. My wife's been playing a song as we drive on the highway right
-
in our vehicle, and there's one sentence that I remember. I do not
-
remember anything else about that song, and I don't even remember who the senor
-
is, but they say, truth it never changes. Does anybody know the
-
song I'm talking about? Truth never changes. I don't know who it is
-
that sings it, but I can hear it right now in my mind so
-
perfectly. Truth never changes. The Word of God will never change. These
-
words will never change. There will never be a revision. I told customer
-
yesterday. I said, you guys have changed this five times since December.
-
I said, I've changed it for my last time. I've mailed them the
-
cow the cad falls said I've done change it. Y'all can't make up your
-
mind. I've done change it it. This word of God will never be
-
revised. I had to extend the drawing template border, the revision part of
-
that border, because we matched it out. Revision A, revision, B
-
revisioncy revision, deed, revision one, revision two. I haven't had to
-
do that in many years, many years. That's what they're wanting to do
-
to this blessed book. They're wanting to revise it. They want it to
-
be relevant truth. They don't want absolute truth. It's absolute truth. This
-
Word of God is absolute truth. It has written Jesus said, that's enough.
-
Jesus told Lucifer. Somebody twisted something I preached recently. I preached a
-
message titled Lucifer and his Leash. They said in preaching that I made the
-
statement that Lucifer is Jesus christ brother. So, as far as I know,
-
I've never said that. And if I said that, it was certainly
-
unintentional, or maybe the recording device malfunction or maybe my brain malfunction. But
-
the whole jesture that message was that the devil is not even on the same
-
plane with the Holy Triune Godhead. So I'm not really sure what's going on
-
there, but words got out that I've said that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.
-
I have not said that and the truth is they are not brothers.
-
They are not. I'm doing something right now, Bettels to be patient with
-
me. Jesus and Lucifer are not brothers. Jesus is the son of God.
-
The second part of the triale, Godhead of the Holy Ghost is the
-
third part try Godhead, and all of the angelic beings, both heavenly and
-
demonic, are all underneath their feet. It seemed like that message was about
-
that, that's why we whole fear of the devil, because the devils on
-
God's leash. I don't know. I'm gonna sign Brother Wood to listen to
-
that and find out where I said that. I'm a little bit confused.
-
You have a transcript on that, Brother, pull it. Brother Jeremy,
-
make sure you posted. If I did say it, I was wrong.
-
How many of you know the word of God is never wrong? And if
-
I misspoke, hey, I apologize. I'm the first to say I'm capable
-
of miss speaking, never intentionally, and I sure don't think that's what I
-
was saying. And the messages, seeing like the whole thing was about the
-
devil being under the authority of Jesus. I don't know. I don't know.
-
Maybe they've twisted it. And that's what people will do. They will
-
twist the words of God. They'll twist the words of men, twist the
-
words of women, or twist the words of Sunday school teachers. They sure
-
will. Lawyers do it every day they do. Brother Nathania, would you
-
read that again if you're able Isaiah chapter number five and verse number twenty one,
-
you're getting ready. Brother jesse saw chapter number two, versus number two
-
and three. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
-
counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, let us break
-
their bands asunder and cast away their courts from us. It doesn't matter how
-
much they get together. It does not matter how much they declare the words
-
of God or untrue, how many times they attempt to revise the word of
-
God. They are going to find out that because they have done such things
-
as that, that their house will be left unto them desolate. Jesus did
-
promise concerning the church, that upon this rock he would build his church,
-
and that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. And it never
-
has. But I've seen a lot of beautiful edifices so they call them sanctuaries,
-
cathedrals, tabranacles, houses of worship that were beautiful places at some point
-
in history where people came to worship. So they said the God of this
-
book, and now those houses are left unto them, desolate Brother Nathaniel,
-
Isaiah, chapter number five, Verse number twenty. Woe to them that call
-
evil good and good evil, that put darkness for light and like for darkness,
-
that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe unto them that
-
call boys girls and girls boys. We're going somewhere right here to night.
-
My brother likes to eat ice cream really slow. I don't, but man,
-
he sure seems to be enjoyed it when he eats. It's so slow.
-
And so I'm gonna move just a little bit slow right here because I
-
want that one that's trying to listen to find fault. So no, I
-
have never believed that. And they can twist some things, and of course
-
we can miss speak, but I'm so glad the word of God has never
-
miss folck Praise the Lord. Truth never changes. May we stand for the
-
reading of the Word of God. The Bible says in the Book of the
-
Prophet Isaiah chapter number one, in verse number eight, and the Daughter of
-
Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard as a lodge, and a
-
garden of cucumbers as a besieged city. May we pray, Heavenly Father,
-
we love it, We praise you, We thank you for the opportunity to
-
come into your house. We pray that you would anoint this thy servants,
-
set in guard at my mouth, and help me to say the things that
-
you would have me to say, nothing more or less. Anoint the ears
-
of this thy people, that they might hear what the spirit saith under the
-
church, this Bethel Holiness Church. God, may we receive these sayings.
-
May we receive them below the shoulders. Let us receive them at our hearts,
-
mind souls. Here. I pray God that we would not be hearers
-
only, but that we would be doers. Help us to hear and heed
-
annoying us. I pray, God, we need it so desperately. I
-
pray that you would help us to depart this place joyfully and non sorrowfully in
-
Jesus name. Amen Isaiah. Chapter number one, verse number eight, and
-
the Daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard as a lodge
-
in a garden of cucumbers as a besieged city. Our text is found in
-
an Old Testament book of the Holy Bible. The Book of Isaiah is quite
-
lengthy. You will finish a few cups of coffee before you finish reading this
-
book of the Bible. This book of the Bible bears the name of its
-
author. The title of this book of the Bible bears the name of its
-
author. The first verse of this first chapter drops no subtle hit as to
-
what the author's inspiration is. He is a holy man of God that has
-
heard from God. This man will speak as the oracle of God. He
-
will speak without respect the person. He will preach without approval, affirmation,
-
and applause of men. He will preach no matter how his peers preach.
-
He will stand for things that his peers refuse to stand against. He will
-
stand against things that his peers will refuse to stand forward. This man,
-
Isaiah, is a prince of preachers. He's one us, a very special
-
He's a special man of God. In fact, he's one that can hear
-
from God's seemingly when no one else can, while others ears are dull of
-
hearing. This man's ears are tuned in listening to the spoken word of God.
-
God is speaking to him, and he is speaking as the Lord's oracle.
-
The Holy Spirit of God is moving inside of him as a will within
-
a will. And he mounts the pulpit and he begins to preach the people
-
that do not want to hear the words that he has to say, all
-
though the words that he are preaching is the word of God. We believe
-
that this man right here understands that it's very serious to put your finger in
-
your ears and refuse to hear what the Spirit of God saith under God's people.
-
This holy Man of God spend some time pinning the words of God.
-
Would you imagine with me as he puts pen department puts forth so much effort
-
in trying to document for the people of God the things that God is trying
-
to say to them, because he knows the importance of these words. These
-
words will keep them from transgressing against God. The Psalmist would later understand the
-
importance of keeping the word of God and also heartbring or hiding it in your
-
heart. He said, I will hide thy word in my heart that I
-
might not sin against God. I'm sure this preacher was protective of the sacred
-
writings that God had given him. There is no doubt he was more protective
-
of the scroll that contained these writings that had been given to him by the
-
very breath of God. He protected it, preserved it more than you do
-
your very own copy of this King James version of Bible. There's no doubt
-
he respected it. And I feel like there's a lot of people today if
-
you could just watch them and look at the way they handle this precious word
-
of life, you can tell that they have no respect whatsoever for this book
-
and the authors of this book, and also for the author of the authors,
-
the one that is speaking into the hearts and finds of the people that
-
pinned into these blessed words of God. We believe that this man was one
-
that would obey the most High God even when nobody else would. I believe,
-
like the apostles of the New Day Church, of the Early Testament Church,
-
these men would obey God rather than obey men. They felt like it
-
was more beneficial for them and more profitable for them to keep the commandments of
-
God. They did not consider them to be overbearing or grievous They weren't trying
-
to get out of keeping the words of God. They felt like it keeping
-
these commandments, they would be benefited, their nation would be benefited, and
-
their family would be benefited. In fact, they felt like every word that
-
was written was profitable for doctrine. They felt like you could build an entire
-
faith system on this principle. You could build an entire faith system on every
-
single word of God that is written right here. I believe that this man
-
Isaiah protected this. I believe that he preserved this. I remember whenever the
-
Lord tried his best to convince me to preach the Gospel, he would whisper
-
repeatedly into my soul, preserve old time holiness for the next generation. And
-
I would say, Lord, I believe there's plenty of people still living old
-
time holdiness. Why would you select me or call me for such an undertaking
-
as this? And continuously repeatedly day and night, I would hear echo in
-
the corners of my soul, preserve old time holiness for this next generation.
-
I had no idea that in my lifetime there would arise people that had been
-
my peers that would do everything they could do to tear down the Holy standards
-
of living that had been a signed to God's people. I had no idea
-
that people that I had preached shoulder to shoulder with, people that I had
-
rough shoulders with, that they would begin to tear pages out of the sacred
-
real. If they lived in the time of Isaiah, they would have turned
-
towards chapters out of the scroll of his writings, because they simply would not
-
have approved of these writings. I feel like this maut Isaiah knew that God
-
had breathed into him these very words, And I feel like this generation has
-
no idea that these words of God breathe They have no idea that these are
-
the words of God. If you study the Bible, and you read it
-
as for what it is, you will find that this word of God can
-
be conceived in your mind as Jesus Christ. For in the beginning was the
-
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
-
So if we are to put on the mind of Christ, as we've been
-
instructed by the apostles, that surely we go through that process by putting these
-
words in our heart, and in doing so we become more like Jesus Christ.
-
You see Isaiah as a special person. I've already emphasized that in anybody
-
that protects and preserves the word of God must be a special person, because
-
anybody that does that, they're going to be blessed. In fact, the
-
Bible said that anybody that abandons or abhors the word of God, they themselves,
-
their nation, and their family shall be turned into hell. The nation
-
that for saints or forgets God shall be turned into hell. And that's what
-
we see right here. Isaiah is dealing with watching the unraveling of a nation.
-
And as this nation is unraveling before his very eyes, he receives the
-
call to preach, and he picks up on the other line and he answers,
-
and immediately he has a asion. If you look at the first chapter
-
and look at the second verse, we see that this man he begins to
-
tell that he has had of asion. He begins to tell earth inhabitants what
-
the Lord has spoken unto his children. There's a lot of people nowadays,
-
they're saying, who are you to tell me what to do? Who are
-
you to instruct me in the ways of Christ. I don't need a pastor,
-
I don't need a preacher. I don't need a teacher, I don't
-
need a bishop, I don't need an e vangelist. We don't need to
-
be perfective in the name of the Lord. But when find, nevertheless,
-
this man begins to preach it, and we find that he is writing here
-
about this time that he felt that God had revealed some things to him.
-
We see that God is speaking to his children. And so immediately, brother
-
Tyler, after he has identified himself as the author of this writing and he's
-
made it known that he has heard from God, immediately he begins to reveal
-
to his people exactly what it is God has to say to them. Versus
-
number two, Versus number three through six. You can see the words of
-
Almighty God. The Bible is in the students present tonight. Know that some
-
of the verses in this first chapter are lyrics to a song that might be
-
only one or two of us in this spirity that know that this verse chapter
-
is supposed to be a song. Whenever you start reading this and you think
-
about it as being a song, you really expect this to be a song
-
that would be palatable to the reader. It would be something that everybody would
-
like to taste of it for take up and declare that it is good.
-
But as you read this chapter, you quickly realize that this is a song
-
that warns of pending judgment. And if these people do not humble themselves,
-
then they are going to fall. If they do not repent for their wickedness
-
and turn from their wicked ways and their pother then this nation will utter ravel,
-
It will bust apart. At the scenes of a nation that it's been
-
so glorious to the glory of cod shall be something. And everybody just looks
-
upon and says, look at such desolation, all what a pitiful sight you
-
see. These people are supposed to be people of God, and they've got
-
a preacher that is preaching to them. Because they are the people of God.
-
They're blessed because they have a preacher. The one that is bearing this
-
news feels us though he is bringing forth good news. But even though this
-
is good news that will protect and preserve these people and their family from great
-
hardship and harm and danger, these people perceive it as a problematic message.
-
They perceive it as something that they simply just don't want to hear. Is
-
something like to be considered as wanted off the duck's back. We just should
-
not bringing us in and digest it and growify it. We just need to
-
push it home down the road to somebody else. You see, these people
-
do not believe that such preaching of this calibert and this matter is a blessing.
-
But you'll notice in this chapter that there is a time of great harvest
-
that's supposed to be a wonderful thing done at all, Brother Samuel continued,
-
is supposed to be yielding much fruit that we find right here that it is
-
not this finures should be producing that much crut. This should be many cucumbers.
-
The wine, thoughts should be flolling overflowing with liquid blessing. Everybody said,
-
have a sexual of cucumbers for themselves and their entire family. Of course,
-
that's what the Lord wanted to do. He wanted to bless each and
-
airport walk up his childing that the heavens have been shut up, and the
-
spiritual rain and the natural rain is not flowing out of the glory world down
-
under these people. What in the world has happened? Why does such a
-
lovely soul that turns sour? Why does such a sweet song between that the
-
beloved and those that he loved, it turned from being such a sweet miracle
-
prose a to something that is soul untasteful, and something that's not it the
-
lightful at all. You see todd sits out to bless you. When you
-
come to this altar and you pray through the old top salvation and he washes
-
you in his green red blood. There is no doubt at about it at
-
all that he plans to bus you. But if you turn back and go
-
in an opposite direction, if you water the writings of the world of Comment
-
and tossed them over your shoulder, as it's a piece of treasure, you
-
will find out that you too will experience her. Let these people had experienced
-
her, you seem cold had caused them to be opinion in the world Israel
-
and to the wire considered to be the especial people that would plus up the
-
world, that people that would connected the world and yourhold. But now God
-
looks and the wind betcha they have no wine and the cucumbers that God in
-
the mind, something uploy has taken place. When the King time for something
-
sweet, only something siur can be found. I want to preach to us,
-
to Gonte, that the holy guests will hit me on the cottage of
-
colored in cucumbers. If you look at person number seven and looking over the
-
first number rage, you will see that these people they have come into apparent
-
tent where they are spiritual leading. That's said that I said, they are
-
not on the spiritually desolate, they are also naturally desperate. You know what
-
desolation bars people that are disobedient because the fire declared it to be sold.
-
Look at disobedient, the unruly, and the transgressor will pine that there's a
-
tough word a home. That you might be working in. The neighbor are
-
telling you that you might be working in the field, but it will be
-
unfruitful. There is no way at all that God can bless you. There
-
is no way at all. And the showers of blessing there will far from
-
this time. The kid heaven will be on the camp in the morning,
-
God can said the tints of heaven and bring desolation man to somebody that they're
-
like, truly, I am God true? And what cost people? Truly?
-
What God's nason that now you're looked at the world, that all you
-
see is a pinion that used to be preachers, that used to be the
-
church. There used to be her place for a pirate God used to be
-
so crevi, I said, promising things. What in the world happened?
-
Why we expected sweetness? How did we find bitterness when we expected sweet things?
-
How did we end up with sour things? Whenever the lawd came into
-
that vineyard, and he began to look amongst it, and searched the vine
-
as little small foxes scurried away. He said, Hey, that small divine,
-
that little deviation of doctrine, that little discord among the brethren, those
-
little things that seemingly so small, things that people no longer feel like,
-
are immaported. You know the den ruck be preaching her this tonight. I
-
can tell that already. I've seen it come to passer in the Pentecostalm movementure
-
and the holiness Chanches said across the Militan in the last thirty five years,
-
you can see the solution. The sitting in the tranchic compte flows another tragic.
-
It doesn't matter how beautiful the cathedrals are, it doesn't matter how master
-
edefaces are. You cantal and realize it. A little livinghood really did loving
-
your hair up. It's what's a chancer When the persons of corn are all
-
over. It is what's a chancher for the spirit of garment, move chervice
-
after service. But now the local realtor has got a side the church not
-
where you can. They cannot afford it. They have serday night services.
-
And then we serve us wider because there's a blighting in the pot. I
-
said, there's a blight in the pot. We can build be your watch.
-
But the man that's over that been your head, it's not coming to
-
take care of it. There will not be hit into you. On Divine
-
Press's number seven and eight speaks of total desolation, tragic event on the hill
-
of tragic event. And now this little cottage is beginning to be overtaken.
-
You can let them spirits come in any church, and I'm telling you it
-
ain't but very long. You'll see, but one devil brings in another devil.
-
They can come into that church and they can look at altars where the
-
blood of Jesus has watched a many centner clean, and they can look around
-
and say, well, it's fully furnished, that's swept. The church cleaners
-
have done a good job cleaning, and every instrument is in its proper place.
-
The pastor's opposite still has a sign on the door or come home now,
-
And they're still a side in the churchyard. But when you're looking around,
-
you realize it ain't rain. A while you look around it and you
-
realize they ain't the fruit on the vinement that all you see there's something that
-
used to be. I see church camp grounds, I see church houses,
-
just like this little cottage that's indepeniard places where people used to labor for the
-
Lord, temple, dwelling places on this earth. That's what this is.
-
If you'll study it, it's just a little ships shocking. It's just a
-
shed like the rabers with toe in when they got hot during the heat of
-
the day. They would see contact times are refreshment. They choose the a
-
shefter from the heat for the chess either. But whatever the devil gets turned
-
me doing what the divil dis it cannot even be the truth a comics anymore.
-
The Bible teaches us that it would be avertaking it over by the very
-
thing it was trying to grow. Man I said, it's trying to grow.
-
God car that be CREATI two coumbers that mother calear by, He let
-
make shi such let's being turned down. But the truth cumber by how many
-
people look in this buildings ever ground two cumbers anybody besides myself. I'm gonna
-
tell you something. They don't crave my great schol. We don't need a
-
hot tower to protect her tooth cover CLIs my growth at all. Because the
-
clusters might be being in large, But when it comes to cucumbers, they're
-
working at the foundation. They spread like wild pop they I'm telling you you
-
could be in the cottage that a cucumber pot. You like to work,
-
God ain't minutes it will overtake you. That's what's happening today. Sinners are
-
overtaking the house of God. What Apostle Paul said, grievous wolf shall come
-
in amongst you after my departure, not despairing the flock, they come in.
-
The little foxes scurry away little. The little foxes have done their damage.
-
But just fine continues to grow. And the labors and the workers they
-
used to labor. The preachers they used to get so unity and preach,
-
they're no longer frequently the little shack. The teachers are no longer frequenting the
-
lord's house and sending them strangler vines begin to roll, and Brother ej they
-
become so strong, and there's so many of these veins of vines that they
-
begin to break down this little cottage and they besiege it. And Brother Nathaniel,
-
you've been in thorough countries with me, and you know that our gardens
-
and our farms here are so much more well protected than they are in most
-
parts of the world. And I can get a proper imagery of what we're
-
dealing with the right here. And Brother Nathaniel, you walk into a place
-
where you can tell they used to be a worker. There was somebody Interveneard
-
a master of the vineyard, was keeping control of the vines. He was
-
keeping the vines and bounds. He was watching, he was laboring. He
-
was prouding when it needed to be proud. If you go by my house,
-
you'll see it's sister how I's finally got the landscape and the way she
-
wants it after all these years, and she's got a vine that is the
-
inspiration for tonight's serving. And that vine is taken over the sidewalk and is
-
going into the driveway. It's creeping into the yard, and just see it,
-
Brother Dialing, and nobody who wants to deal with it because it is
-
so beautiful. But you know what, brother Air, the bit has continued
-
because it was allowed to continue. It will continue to spread until it takes
-
over that entire frontyard. It will not be a frontyard full of lush grass
-
now, but it will be a place with a vine eels, and anything
-
within the reach of that vine, and anything under the shadow of shade of
-
that vine will die. And that's what's happened here. There's nobody with a
-
burden, there's nobody with a vision, and they come to the beatior that
-
they survey, the situation wouldn't be who was the preachers would do a better
-
job a certain thing, and the situation they realize real where the problem lies.
-
The problems not always the folias you see on the surface. A lot
-
of times it's that the reading, the peak of finding the read you could
-
cut the lifeline. Come on, loud, I'm telling you that needed to
-
be somebody come into this situation and seem more the desolation. And yes,
-
it's true that God let them no woman be a reman, and that this
-
little cottage would not be totally torn down. But I want you to know
-
it was not a beautiful situation to see this land a selfle besieged by such
-
a strange ain't you find but a testing? You know what happens when a
-
que cover is not consumed, you find it it becomes a lord. Just
-
something to attractive flies, just something that attracts the ravens, just something that
-
attracts Lord trouble and makes stands worse. Oh, come on now, preaching
-
to you rock here. That's true that the Lord k and the finure,
-
and it's true that the Beloved is the master of the vinure. And it's
-
true that it planted the figured on the heel. And it's true that it
-
provided protection when it places or watch tower in the center of the piinure,
-
with the intentions of it being blest. But where are we at now?
-
Do you know why we left the charismatic churches that we were once a part
-
of. I know the word to Rispond, that's not necessarily about worst back
-
word. I know the people have accused me of being a man that Scott
-
killed Chris Charisma. There's people accused bur Nathaniel of being a band of possession.
-
Said, come, charrispa. Most people like that, But you know
-
why we loved it. There's charismatic churches. It's because what was calling are
-
under the surface, but that people would just look at what was on the
-
center. So you received that every pinder was trying especial to tear out her
-
a doctrine. You think with me, as that color that from there,
-
you think with me, asked this put another vibe and it wrapped around makeshift
-
struct her and turned down another panly poll do we might have a problem and
-
a teacher and exchange chimp and he chrosis. Train your vine at your child.
-
You have a problem, but that teacher doesn't know a vine. That's
-
your children. That you to know that the spiritual same to Rason, that's
-
tolling over for this generation. The second anything I've ever seen. Isaiah can
-
tell you the same words I'll tell you tonight. It's not gonna be dead,
-
Thank you, expected to be sweet, I'm gonna be sire. A
-
worship land will be called a waste land. It's going to be besieged.
-
It's not gonna get better without strong, pure doctrine. It's going to be
-
ruined. Thank you, Holy goes. If I remember correctly, Isaiah three
-
and eight, there it is for Jerusalem is ruined and Judah is following.
-
That's the people of God. Wait a minute, that's my home land.
-
You're seeing my home land can become a waste land, or you seeing my
-
denomination can be come a dinner devils? Where you saying my lordship plan can
-
be covered wasteling. I'm talking about gods land, his specialties of real estate.
-
He's saying it's run. We'll wait a minute. I thought is in
-
control of it. How can it be ruin? God gives us the free
-
will, and God expects usself to keep the guarded. That's what he turned
-
out of. I'll give you paradise, but you better keep it. Think
-
you better o pay me and my lordship in the process, this thought's gonna
-
give us a beautiful things. But in the process, we gotta keep the
-
doctor right there in the processing. We're gonna keep them preaching right in the
-
processor. We gotta teach it right, preaching to me right, free,
-
tr rolling. Well, I feel delivered in preach. Now, why they're
-
ruined all because the Lord's words were not heard. Nobody's got time for his
-
words. Nobody wants to hear that. Nobody wants to hear what that preachers
-
saying. Nobody wants to tune into that podcast. Nobody wants to replay that
-
CD. In fact, they didn't even finish that CD. Nobody wants to
-
hear it, much less heed it. The Bible said we need to be
-
very careful hearing the word of God and not doing of the word of God.
-
I can agree with us tonight that the words of God are the answer
-
to the world's problems. I really believe that if people would just simply read
-
the sins of this book and keep the sayings of this book, we would
-
have world peace. There would be no need for peace treaties. There would
-
be no need for war between nations. There would be no fussing in fight
-
between brothers and sisters. There would be no more fuss than in fight between
-
spiritual brother Now, hey, come on, now, I want you to
-
look at your neighbors, say, hey, neighbor, Hey, neighboring.
-
The word of God is the answer for the world's problems, And do you
-
know that it's also the answer for your problems. Let's the answer for your
-
child's problems. The should asker for breakers problems, Let's the answer for all
-
of us. If we're just preached the word of called it. We won't
-
have to worry about it. Our child coming home and saying, my teacher
-
told me it's unkay to feel like I'm a girl. But I taught to
-
I wasn't knowing if you keep the word of caught it in the school,
-
answer Lord, problems became the find check and the laws in the court house.
-
Then I said, Lord, the one I said the problems. And
-
that's why I said. Thing that's like he teas these six chambers that he
-
telling gods people, Oh my God, who is turned back? He left
-
her n that he must have seen something in the shader. I tell us
-
somebody that he got cross. The seed is still in the say my preaching,
-
and not have but con truth cover with truth, covers the trus Truthcome
-
us, But God he didn't help us. And do away with all the
-
unruliness, all the ill mannerisms, all the illicit behaviors. The word of
-
God is the answer to the world's problems. Why do these people love the
-
things they love because they are people of the world. Love not the world,
-
neither of the things that are of the world. For all that is
-
of the world, right, all of this is in the world's other world.
-
The love of the Father is in us. And if the love of
-
the Father is in us, we should not have no problem at all loving
-
the things of the world or the spirit of this world. So how did
-
these people lose this vineyard and this tower that protected the new watchman stood in
-
and protected the vineage. How did they lose this shit in the cucumber field?
-
Because, Brother Jonathan, they simply disregarded the word of God. So
-
when it came time for harvests, and I heard it today, it's his
-
harvest. It's his harvest. Trade to the Lord of the harvest, that
-
he will sent forth the labors into whose harvest isn't it's his harvest. I
-
tell you why God got upset, because when you thought you were gonna belly
-
up to some grapes of cucumbers, and you were going to just enjoy the
-
blessings of God so carelessly and so freely, but disregard what He has said.
-
No, godschence, you know what, They're gonna be ablied in it.
-
You know what, I'm just going to let the enemy overrun it.
-
You know what, I'm just gonna cause you to lose disinterest in the laboring.
-
Oh yes, come on now, why didn't they lose so much so
-
fast? What were they thinking? Where can they go wrong? If you
-
look at the words of our texture, I said a chapter number five,
-
our co text center. Because they started calling evil killing and good evil about
-
sister we number trying to preach it a little bit of holiness here to night
-
and come on now live? Can they lose it? What happened? Look
-
with wrong I'm gonna say it again for stargar. So they started calling evil
-
goodness and glad evil. They called Dame darker, and they called nights live.
-
They so sour candy and called it sweeter, and they so sweet candy
-
that they called it sour. I'll preach it to y'all here to No,
-
No, sir, don't expect me to send a few. And here's somebody,
-
Preacher Charny said that for me to che on it, they send that
-
sweet. They ain't got a sweeter at all about puff coping. But that
-
I can tell the saving us, Why then I can tell me sour glet
-
us salad cucumbers and come off the mind too late, there's Paul. The
-
grapes are salard. That wild. Now. In fact, there's no grafting
-
going on. There's no cruing, there's no sharing, there's no grafting.
-
I was looking for sweet grapes, but now I've got salur. You think
-
about the disappointment of the center when they go into these houses of worship that
-
on the marquis say, the house of God, the house of worship,
-
Jesus is here. Come in as your are, And they come in as
-
they were, And they come in as they are, and they leave as
-
they came. And they say, you know what, there was nothing there
-
but sour grapes. Who wild fire? Who wild grapes? And find there
-
was straight with me? And they said there was no victory, there was
-
nothing sweet. There are coming now happy. If you know the Bible shared
-
the bitter and sweet cannot throw out of the same fountain. You won't find
-
salt fresh coming out of the same fountain. I'm trying to preach to you
-
here tonight. For yes, don't have me a sour chauny richer, un
-
tell me it's a sweet. Talk to me. I'm telling you right here,
-
I'm trying to preach to you here tonight. These people would try their
-
very best to confuse the generation. They would tell people to learn the talk
-
doesn't don't really say that talk doesn't really mean what he says, Yes he
-
does. I believe it feeling. I believe, come learn. I'm target
-
for what it says. A few flu go away, fairy man, will
-
my heir been at work. A child can read the Bible and find the
-
pleasant way a salvation. A child to find that supposed a preceptul the holy
-
doctrine. Yeah, so let's I can tell. But the words in this
-
book they're a sweet time. That's the honey. They're hotey call. They
-
ain't nothing at all sour, but this taste about the word. When they
-
turn to me and they say, oh, I don't like that. I
-
just think there's super wrong. But your spiritual taste buds. So God went
-
to the vineyard and he looked for grapes because he loved the vineyard. But
-
it's bringing forth, wow, sour, nasty grapes. I want to preach
-
to you. Then of the holness will happen to you just a little longer.
-
If they can get everyone confused. I heard a song about ten years
-
ago. He said something about blurring the lives. I am not at all
-
interested in the blurring the lives. I am not interested in seeing the Protestants
-
and the Catholics agree to disagree. I am not going to sign on the
-
dotted line of a commitment to the Ecumenical Church that I am not going to
-
state that I approve of Chris law, which is the murder of Christianity and
-
the religion of Islam. There is no way. Jesus was very bold when
-
he said I am the way. I know it's not all inclusive. When
-
Jesus done that, he'd separated us from father and mother, and that's what
-
he said, he would bring bariance between mothers and daughters. And oh yes
-
he did. You don't believe that he should? Did he let us know
-
the peacemaker himself, the Prince of Peace, would bring a sword. Would
-
it come to the vision because of doctor Oh yes, I'm killing you,
-
the scared of Batre Christ. It's gonna try to murds this word and the
-
one religion. And you know what they say. They will arrest us one
-
day for saying I'm about to say that. You know what, you could
-
bring homosexual son into the pool pit. Cobbril never a pre sucking he abhore
-
us. I said, Cob, you'll never a pre sucking he aphole ups.
-
I better see abomination for mayor, then with a mayor and a still
-
accommination. But wom to mine? Hell, Yes, I'm telling you Tol
-
will not approve of or something he ahorse. God will never allow or approve
-
of something he disapproves of. You see these people on a border the lines,
-
Brother Gabriel, I've got to think ten grandchildren now. All of those
-
children are under the age of four, four and under, ten grandchildren four
-
and under. When I buried one of my grandsons, my second grandson at
-
a young age, I stood out and said, I've never one time thought
-
about being anything other than a holiness righteous man that preaches the truth as mandated
-
to any preacher, including myself. But when I stood there and put him
-
six feet under below the surface of the ground, I said, never.
-
I hate you now more than I've ever hated you, and I still promise
-
to my God I will be a preacher of righteousness. I didn't start this
-
thing, Noah. He was a preacher of righteousness. Isaiah was a preacher
-
of righteousness. Child with a preacher of righteousness and Peter was a preacher of
-
righteousness. You can hang us upside down, deposit terpetide, turn us ever
-
hts away but lose. You can banish us to an I'll call pack myself.
-
But come on, you can lock us upper in the Hendrick counter a
-
leak out at prison for preaching horliness, truth and righteousness. That it will
-
never change a true preacher. It will never change the murder God because that
-
I kill somebody to die. That never change us, They say, God,
-
if you've got to talk to theology and the plackle the log your officer,
-
it doesn't know if you've got a bachelor's degree and theology and deependity,
-
never change it. So they want to blur the lines. Hey, they
-
want us to let a little world and us in. They wanted to bring
-
in a little liven They wanted to live and the whole love. They know
-
what they're doing. They take a kick us in the back of the knee.
-
They know the giant will fall if they can slip in and just take
-
a little nibble at our heel, or a stumble will fall. The little
-
foxes just have an ability to come in there and nip away at the vine.
-
Y'all are y'all with me right here? I'm telling you who they've wanted
-
us to blur the lines they want us to say. Preach your ease up
-
just a little bit. I've had a lions spirit come to me twice that
-
I know of in my ministry. For one time, we were watching a
-
Scrooge play and when I in the building, the lion spirit said, if
-
you want this, I will give it to you. And I believe that
-
lion devil would have made sure that it could have become a possibility, and
-
sign at to sign At to sign began to fall into place that the devil
-
was rolling out not a crimson red by the blood of Jesus royal red carpet,
-
but a red carpet of deceit, paving a way for me to become
-
a lion preacher, a lion prompt to tell people that you don't have to
-
believe the Word of God from what it says and how I'm telling you you
-
have to believe this word of God. You can't take a highlighter and highlight
-
one verse and then take a sharpie and color out another paragraph and then highlight
-
another. You can't pick and choose what you want to believe this a buffet,
-
am my preacher to us right here, And he said, the lion
-
spirits they get into preachers. You remember that one preacher. He came and
-
he was prophesied to the king, and great wonderful things are going to have.
-
But and even that old king, he said, get me a real
-
preacher, somebody that will tell me the truth of preaching me the truth.
-
Preacher. I'm telling you now, they're a diamond dozen when it comes to
-
not preaching the truth. And there's no way I'm going to sacrifice my share.
-
They're my children. So for the souls of the recohol in his church.
-
And just so we compelled a little bit better about making an offenditive man
-
or the homosexual one will kill better. I could goco hold his church.
-
And absolutely they're welcome to come to church. Oh yes, we welcome the
-
people to be on reputation. Oh yes, we welcome the homosexual We love
-
them, but we don't have to love to see it. And we don't
-
cocker right out on that cracket trying to see And I don't reckon designature Marca
-
that we accepted their see it. Oh yes, I do not accepted anything.
-
Get cold ohrd and get everyone to believe that, just agree to disagree.
-
These people would go beyond confusing one another, Brother Jonathan, they would
-
go beyond blurring the lines. They would go beyond all of that and go
-
so far out and left field that they just do away with God's words altogether.
-
In fact, now there's sermon nets have maybe one or two verses in
-
it. They're twenty minutes. Sermonets maybe have one or two verses in it.
-
And that goes on year after year after year. There's stories and illustrations.
-
They come on now, their self help groups, there's classes for assistance.
-
There's all kinds of things, but anything but preach to me the word
-
of God, preacher. And when they get people to abandon the Lord's standard
-
of holy living, and when they get people to do away with more value,
-
I said, when they get people to do away with more values.
-
I remember thirty years ago when an unwitt mother was ashamed of herself and everybody
-
Elswer was ashamed of her because of her teenage pregnancy. And now it's like
-
a byge of honor. The woman finds out that a daughter has conceived out
-
of holy matrimony, out of wind lock, as he grows putting into the
-
office and tells all the other unholy women, did you hear my dad got
-
cringing last night after the rodeo that come on, value ain't in this house
-
with you here tonight. It's true of them that were tending Chris Flint did
-
chapter number six. There are still ten cents and many others that are found
-
it in a word of cord that God will not allow. I said card
-
that we are not allow it. First Cristian's ten number fourteen and verse number
-
thirty three. The apostle Paul was dealing with spiritual gift. I mentioned that
-
Sunday morning's serving twelve. Chapter number twelve, he's dealing with spiritual gifts.
-
Chapter number thirteen, so you love chapter chapter number fourteen, he's dealing again
-
with spiritual gifts, and he's talking about some people just get so spiritual that
-
there's nothing going on. What what's happening right now? There's still rightly dividing
-
the word of truth. There's nobody carrying around a pot of manner. There's
-
no laws being regarded, there's no law being commanded, there's no spoken word
-
of God being preached. It's just everybody's spiritual. Everybody's speaking in tongues,
-
and they're shouting, and they're glorifying God. Everybody is praising and worshiping the
-
Lord. There's a time for that in a worship service. Then you move
-
on into the preaching service, and the preacher begins to preach. And that's
-
why Apostle Paul said at First Crintians, chapter number fourteen and verse number thirty
-
three, he said, hey, settled out now, for God is the
-
author of confusion but of peace. And this is what stood out to me
-
today. As in all churches of the Saints, and as in all churches
-
of the Saints, look at your neighbors, say hey, neighbor, did
-
you hear that all churches our churches. So there's no way I will ever
-
believe that God's got one set of rules and standards from one church, because
-
it's got another set of rules of standards with another church. He let everything
-
be done, decent, little hand, in order I want you to know,
-
our worship is to be an order, Our clue talking is to be
-
an honor, our praise is to be an order, and our preacher is
-
to be an order. We are to go me defie the words of truth.
-
When you decide to cherry picker once you want to preacher. Come on
-
now, no little pere begins to die. Don't wonder he loves out to
-
the church at ten. Don't wonder you can't kind of a Sunday nay and
-
a mid week's SUSA and cost people can tell we're saying sorrow. Rod c
-
ands tell us something sweet, for God's about the author of confusion. If
-
they're preaching something up the road that they're not preaching down here, they're preaching
-
something down here, they're not preaching up there. And let God be true,
-
and let every man be a liar. If any man come to you
-
preaching any other doctrine and that which we will preached us as the words of
-
the apostle, let him be a curse to peas in Angel or everybody they
-
preach anything but God's not the author of confusion. But peace, there is
-
no peace. Saith my God to the wicked. As long as they're transgressor
-
the word of God, there we will be no peace. Saith my God
-
to the wicked. As long as they're not preaching the truth, there will
-
be no peace in their church. There will be no prosperity, there will
-
be no proof of the vine, there will be no true Come on now,
-
oh, come on now, put us writing too the church, and
-
he wanted to know. I wanted them to know that God is not the
-
author of confusion. I'm not gonna allow my child to go to the elementary
-
school of boy and come home think that he's a girl. I try to
-
prete a message and can one they give me thrown in jail. You could
-
at least say that as in all churches other saints. So what if the
-
Methodists approve of something God ahorse, Well, it's just gonna be in cottage
-
covered in cucumbers. What if the pentecost the church has approved of something God
-
ahorse, it's just gonna be a besieged city, a cottage covered in cucumbers.
-
What if all churches transgress the law and they lose their peace, Well
-
they won't be a church of saints anymore, because if they are a church
-
of the Saints, there must have been a church of the devils. There
-
must have been a church to pretended to be a church of the Saints.
-
And apostle Paul differentiates between the two. He's here, he says, God's
-
gonna be orderly, and you're gonna be orderly if you're a church where the
-
Saints attending, and we need to go to us. And I preach in
-
context Apostle Paul's telling the church and all the churches of the Saints, including
-
us today, that at any time and in any place where the Saints are
-
gathered together, everyone present should hear the word of God and leave that place
-
having received righteous instruction. But somebody said name, nobody telling me what to
-
do. God'll tell you what to do with his word. And if you
-
refuse to read it, it doesn't matter whether you want to read it or
-
accept it or not. God still said it. And truth never changes.
-
And you can run from the truth your entire life. You can come out
-
of the roomb and hit the ground like a kazor and antelope does overseas,
-
and you can run from the truth to all the days of your life.
-
And you'll run straight, headlong to the gate of Him, and it'll sweet
-
load preach all these hints and welcome you to the place where the damned or
-
does it ran from the truth? Come on now, I'm telling you every
-
preacher to preach the truth if he doesn't preach the truth. He has not
-
a preacher. You're gonna settle out and in your heart, and he doesn't
-
want him to stand point, he is not a preacher. If he needs
-
to be stood against her, and he doesn't stand against that, he is
-
not a preacher. I'll say it is a preacher even when truths falling apart
-
here, I'll say it's a preacher, even when truth up is losing out
-
the God he preacher hold on of men. And they're not a preacher like
-
that. Only a few of you guys were preaching like that anymore. Listen,
-
let everything be done, D C. L And in order. How
-
confused would Brother Luther Griffin be if there were five preachers standing up here right
-
now, they were all preaching from different texts, and they were all preaching
-
a different topic, and they were shouting at the same time and preaching at
-
the same time. Just about at confusion for that center that come in that
-
church service that never calmed down and preach to them across salvation to the siphlet
-
of Jesus, repairance, remission to sin. Right, that's pretty confusing for
-
center. Those of you that know it to be true, you know it
-
to be true. Sister want remember going to the back room and hiding out
-
while the Saints shouted because it was terrified. And you know what a jesse.
-
But when I heard that preacher preach the truth and he pointed to me
-
the words of this word of cause, I realized every time I opened it
-
to it sis the same time I told Sister Howard a day I was listening
-
to the Bible here in that time when I just got called away for the
-
jesse, with just every preceding your word that the apostle Paula had written a
-
brother stand you could tell that man failed it. And I believe this man,
-
Isaiah failed it. That's why they wrote it. And preacher, if
-
you can't feel it, then don't bother to preach. If you couldn't live
-
there, don't bother telling it. I see new preachers that could preach it
-
them but not live it. That you gotta live it. That cold be
-
preaching that you gotta walk the walk and talk to talk. I feel like
-
preaching about a prea HOI sermon that night, but I won't do to it.
-
Imagine how confused Brother Ethan would be the five preachers right now we're preaching
-
at the same time something different. I know, you can get on YouTube
-
and find some preaching that will preach differently, and they'll preach at the same
-
hour that we're preaching. Preachers all over the world they're preaching on their podcasts,
-
they're producing their sermons, they're producing their manuscripts and transcripts, and they're
-
putting them on the worldwide with for everybody to see. And Brother Nathaniel,
-
there is a difference, and there's a difference, and there are different topics,
-
and there are different texts, and there's a twisting of the Word of
-
God. So much confusion today and all these ministers, messages, the parishioners
-
have been confused or misdirected. And you know what, the Bible said that
-
the blind lead to blind, they shall both fall into ditch. So you
-
know what happens, Brother Jeremiah, they end up. Of course, this
-
generation is so much like Isaiah's generation, Brother Jesse said. These people don't
-
want to stand up for nothing. They don't want to stand against something.
-
Nope, they don't things that people used to stand against, they're no longer
-
stood against. These people used to stand for things now they don't longer stand
-
for them. These people used to stand tall for things they now stand against,
-
and these people used to stand tall against things that they now stand for.
-
They don't only just let it slide now, but they promoted. You
-
know, they left the little homosexual and these feminine boys sit in the pew.
-
Then they slid him up to the pen, and now they slid him
-
to the bullpen. I said, Cucumber Vine, you know what I'm talking
-
about. It's getting over there on that cottage, and before long, it's
-
not gonna look like that cute little bakesheft shed for the worker's gonna look like
-
a perverted dwelling in place. The cottage shall be besieged. I don't believe
-
Bethel's going to be besieged, but I am telling you any church, any
-
denomination, any group of people that forsake the words of God and God shall
-
become besieged. Brother Gabel's brother, brother David's here tonight. Him and I
-
was talking about that Polt's nightclub shooting. My sister in law and my brother
-
in law lived not too far from there, and I think they're pretty familiar
-
with the circumstances in a situation of things that happened one of the reporters that
-
interviewed some of the eyewitnesses to that shooting and that massacre of those homosexual people.
-
That reporter said that those people said there was people are there crying out
-
to God because they knew they were doing wrong. I mean, if there's
-
no worries, why they cried out to God and said it was echoing through
-
that Polts nightclub. Oh, God, have mercy forgive me. Brother David
-
was sharing with me that a lot of those people that were in there that
-
were shot were church people, people that knew one another, that had strayed
-
from the truth. I wonder how they ended up in such a place.
-
I wonder how that cottage got covered with cute costs. There's some preachers that
-
believe it was nothing more than the judgment of God because there was people in
-
there that knew what to do and to do it, and people that knew
-
not to do things. It was doing it anyway. We don't know all
-
the details of the specifics about that, but I tell you I come tonight
-
being very careful with my words, but also being careless with my words because
-
I don't care. The truth is the truth, and the truth never changes.
-
You can paint a rainbow in every exterior wall of the tradition and declare
-
it to be a blessing to those that are hiding inside of their makeshift sheds.
-
And you could declare that rainbow. You can graffiti that shed with a
-
rainbow and say it's a blessing to our death style. It's not a lifestyle,
-
it's a death style. But the rainbow was given to a righteous man
-
and his family as a sign that the Lord would not destroy the earth again
-
with water for mankind's sin. But there is an assurance that he will destroy
-
the world again with fire for mankind's sin. The rainbow flags will not keep
-
the fire of God Almighty from falling out of Heaven upon this wicked eat or
-
and perverse generation. I'm gonna do like the apostle Peter and encourage you to
-
do likewise. We will save ourselves from this untoward generation. You study that,
-
you will see, he would saying, preserve yourself from the perverse generation.
-
When folks can learn not to condone what God condemns, they will be
-
blessed. When folks condemn what God condones, they will be cursed. Oh
-
come on now, listen, people can band together. They can interlock fingers,
-
they can water down the commandments of God. They can try to accommodate
-
the liberal agenda in order to be accepted as politicians. But they are destined
-
for failure when they embrace rocism. They are destined for failure when they embrace
-
homosexuality, when they try to pacify it, appease it, or please it.
-
They are distant for failure when they deviate from the absolute truth of the
-
sacred writ the Word of God. Mark it down. Their little cabin is
-
going to be destroying. Mark it down, their little cottage is going to
-
be left unto them. Desolate, our brother, read the coach texts off
-
two, two, and three the keys of this earth. Setting themselves and
-
the rulers, they counsel together against the Lord and against his and naught as
-
say, let us break their bands asunder and cast away their chords from us.
-
Listen, when God against to fertilize that vibe that you planed, and
-
you toyed with those seeds that you planted. The Bible said that a man
-
shall be holden with the cords of us old sin. It said right here,
-
I just read it our coach text. They're gonna say, let us
-
break their bands asunder and cast or weigh their cords from us. You play
-
the fire, you're gonna get burned. But you highlight that little cottage they
-
with the way them cucumbers are, you're gonna call a sleeper desire that the
-
wording virus is gonna rapid second around your ankle and its train your gun.
-
It's gonna pull you. I said, it's gonna pull who you down?
-
And come on now, every time they to see them sinser end up taking.
-
The Lord did not mean what he said that it is Lord. You
-
know what the Bible said. The judgment of the Lord will come upon those
-
that approved of what he apports. How many of y'all know that the sinner
-
will pay for their sin? Do y'all know that you gonna feel like they'll
-
pay the early for the broad kip? You think they're gonna really suffer for
-
their sins? But isn't it pleasurable for a season? I mean, isn't
-
it joyous for a season? Isn't a little fun for a season? Didn't
-
all fun and games? You know? For a little while? It is?
-
But brother, LaRue, they mock us for standing for the truth.
-
They mock us for preaching the truth, but I see them embracing immorality.
-
I see them forsaken moral values. And you know what, no matter what
-
they do, truth never changes. No matter what all they compromise is.
-
Truth never changes. Let's stand to the night. Truth never changes. Truth
-
never changes. So the y'all believe the word of God when it says,
-
to eye of the Lord is an ever place beholding an evil and the goody
-
Wait a minute, you mean good is distinguished from evil, and evil's distinguished
-
from good. But our context said, they'll call good evil and evil good.
-
So they'll look at a holiness preacher that's promoting righteousness, or a holiness
-
person or a righteous person or a Pentecostal person is trying to do his brothers.
-
Start said, allow the word of God to change them and perfect them.
-
And it's a process. There's probably nobody in this building is perfect that
-
I know of. And if you are, go ahead and reveal them wings
-
and take me to heaven. But we should be actively pursuing perfection, and
-
we should be striving against sin, and we should be fighting against these spirits
-
of compromise. I know of a lot of preachers that have been caught in
-
a vacuum in a moment because they got out of position. They got out
-
of their place, and brother Rod caap. They pacified sin and they petted
-
it, and they said it's okay, that homosexual man doesn't mean any harm.
-
And they let that little fox, it knows, small fox. They
-
let that sly fox sit in their church. And then when the breaking news
-
is their son's been molested, when the breaking news is, we had a
-
vineyard where there should be plenty of grapes, We had a field where there
-
should have been plenty of cucumbers. But now the tower is a vandon in.
-
The cottage is overtaken, besiege. It's gone wild. The church has
-
gone wild. Can we bow our heads here tonight? I preach the burden
-
of my heart. I don't even want to acknowledge what they declared this month
-
to be. But I have mounted the poolpit an attempt to say I refuse
-
to acknowledge or accept what they're trying to declare this month to be. I
-
challenge our young preachers tonight to accept the fact that without the preaching of truth,
-
Jerusalem will be bind and jew will fall. I've seen two and three
-
year old boys and girls get angry, Brother Jessee, would you come to
-
the piano. Including my grandchildren. I've seen them get very angry, and
-
I've seen them pick out a victim because the set them off. Something upset
-
them and they got angry. I'm talking about two three year olds, and
-
I've seen them walk up to ten to fifteen feet and select a victim,
-
and I've seen them start vibrating. I've witnessed this with a watchful eye.
-
I've watched this and I've seen them take their little hand and put it on
-
their cousin's hood, and brother Roquet began to squeeze the head until their hands
-
vibrated, thinking nobody would work to squeeze every hand down on that little head.
-
Then when that little cousin didn't squeal or squirm, I've seen him get
-
even more angry. And I've seen two and three year olds getting down on
-
their knees, look at a hand, pick out which one they were going
-
to hurt, and then get down on their belly and slowly but surely,
-
put their little my mouth on that hand and pick a finger and then chomp
-
down over it. And you know what, brother Gabriel, about two seconds
-
after that, there's a scream. This generation, they're so twisted, brother
-
Caleb. They would say, that's the manner isles of an alligator. You
-
identify as an alligator. That's deep. They're so twisted. There's some kind
-
of primal urges there. There's some kind of animalistic behavior there. You must
-
be a hippo or crocodile or something you must identify. That's where we're at.
-
No, I'll tell you what that child is revealing. That child is
-
revealing his ademic nature and that it needs a savior at the while, how
-
a bad it? Friends, Will we be able to stand for truth?
-
Because truth is never going to change. If your wife rejects it, truths
-
won't change. If your children rejected, truth won't change. If your son
-
comes home at the age of twenty and says, I'm a girl, truth
-
won't change. If your daughter walks out of the house and goes to live
-
with a woman, truth doesn't change. Let's just find a place to pray
-
to night. It's a sober message. I want you just ask God to
-
help you to never change. For someone to never change because of difficult circumstances
-
that never change because him. Something about going your way. It's his word.
-
We should never change it. For Jerusalem is ruined and Judah has fallen
-
because they're tongue and they're doings, or it gets the lord going there to
-
live true Ruin Mac bears back to where with the church stand strong, back
-
to where there's a right there is a wrong, back to where it's black.
-
You can see the differences, back to and night, going back to
-
things above. We're going back to our first love. We'll know tree by
-

-

-
love. Whatever happened to death? Do us far? Does the horse still
-
reflect the hart? Parent's faces tell a worried mind what children search, But
-
they can't seem to find. It's time we took closer love. Get back
-
to living by the Holy Book, no compromise without getting slack. You'll see
-
we'll go forward if we'll just go back. We're going back to living dream.
-
We're going back to the absolute, back to where the church stands strong,
-
back to where there's a hurt and they're the wrong, back to where
-
he gets back or wide. You can see the differences like day and die.
