  7. The Holy Ghost in this house tonight Amen, I wonder if we could just talk to

  13. Come on, let's just feel after God for just a moment. Hallelujah,

  14. Jesus.

  15. Come on, I feel like telling somebody he knows right where you're at tonight.

  16. Come on, he knows exactly what you're walking through in this house tonight.

  17. You're not here by accident and God is not here by accident tonight.

  18. But God has shown up in this place to help you.

  19. Amen, God has shown up here to strengthen your spirit in this house.

  20. Oh, in the name of Jesus, come on, let's just talk to him for just a moment longer right now.

  21. Oh, Jesus, God, you're worthy, Lord.

  22. Oh,

  23. you're worthy, Jesus.

  25. He has the answers tonight. Amen. He has the answers to your need, to your situation.

  26. Amen. He knows and he cares tonight.

  27. Hallelujah. Amen. man, there's a sweet touch of the Holy Ghost in this house.

  28. And one thing that I have learned is that God never shows up anywhere on accident.

  29. God never shows up anywhere by mistake, but God has come here tonight for a purpose.

  30. And I believe he wants to touch someone in this house tonight.

  31. Hallelujah. And if you'll just submit to what the Holy Ghost wants to do,

  32. I mean, I believe that healing can take place.

  33. Amen. I believe that deliverance can take place. Amen. There is no telling what

  34. God can do when we yield to him as a body.

  35. Amen. And surrender. Amen. And let God have his way in this service, in this place.

  36. Amen. I'm so grateful to be in his presence. Amen. And to be with God's people.

  37. Amen. The greatest people on earth. Hallelujah. I was glad when they said unto

  38. me, David said, Amen, let us go to Southwest Apostolic Church Amen,

  39. is anybody thankful to be in the house of the Lord tonight?

  40. Hallelujah, Jesus. Amen. It is so good to be here. Amen. So thankful for the

  41. God's presence. I want to give honor to Pastor Young and his wife.

  42. Amen. I so greatly appreciate them.

  43. My dad has told us many stories of their friendship in the younger days,

  44. and they have all been good.

  45. Amen. In Jesus' name, I appreciate Brother Young. He has come to Freetown,

  46. where my home church is, many, many times, especially back in the day,

  47. he would come and preach often.

  48. And it was always a treat whenever Brother Young would come and preach for us.

  49. I love to hear your pastor preach. He's an incredible preacher.

  50. And I'm thankful for his voice. Sister Matthews, I give honor to you.

  51. I remember we came several years ago when your husband was the pastor.

  52. I don't really remember what the occasion was or why we were here,

  53. but I remember being here and seeing you all. What a beautiful sanctuary.

  54. Amen. What a beautiful place, a beautiful building. Amen. But all that is vain

  55. if the Lord doesn't show up. But he's here tonight.

  56. Amen. And he's here to help somebody. Amen. We're going to go to the word of

  57. the Lord. I do feel like the Lord has placed something on my heart tonight.

  58. The book of Isaiah chapter 28.

    Isaiah 28 chapter mention

  59. Isaiah chapter 28. And we'll start reading at verse number nine.

    Isaiah 28 chapter mention

  60. Isaiah chapter 28. We'll start reading at verse number nine.

    Isaiah 28 chapter mention

  61. We'll read just a few scriptures here in this chapter.

  62. Very familiar portion of scripture here It says in Isaiah chapter 28 and verse

    Isaiah 28 chapter mention

  63. number 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge?

  64. And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the

  65. milk and drawn from the breast For precept must be upon precept,

  66. Precept upon precept Line upon line, line upon line Here a little and there

  67. a little For with stammering lips and another tongue.

  68. Will he speak to this people.

  69. To whom he said, this is the rest.

  70. This, amen, this stammering lips, amen, in another tongue, this is the rest,

  71. wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest,

  72. and this is the refreshing, yet they would not hear.

  73. Amen, for with stammering lips in another tongue, I mean, this is a prophecy,

  74. amen, of the new covenant that God was going to have with his people.

  75. And he said, for with stammering lips and another tongue, am I going to speak?

  76. Am I going to communicate to this people?

  77. Amen. And then he said, this is the rest.

  78. Amen. What I feel in the Holy Ghost tonight, amen, to preach is simply those

  79. four words right there. This is the rest.

  80. I believe somebody is going to leave this house, amen, with rest in your spirit tonight.

  81. Amen. Could we bind together for just a moment? And could we all across this

  82. house, could we all just lift our voice and pray right now? Lord,

  83. in the name of Jesus, we thank you, Lord, for visiting us with your presence already in this house.

  84. And we pray right now, God, that your perfect will would be accomplished in

  85. the remainder of this service.

  86. I pray, God, that you would strengthen, Lord, every individual that is under

  87. the sound of my voice, God.

  88. You know, Lord, every weary saint that has walked into this place tonight.

  89. And I pray, Lord, that you would give somebody rest that they need in the Holy Ghost, Lord.

  90. We thank you for what we feel in this house. We thank you, God,

  91. for what you're going to continue to do in this place, Lord.

  92. We put this service in your hands right now. God, have your way.

  93. We're going to give you the praise, honor, and glory for it.

  94. Amen. Let's clap our hands to the Lord before we're seated in Jesus' name.

  95. Oh, you're worthy, God. Hallelujah, Jesus.

  96. Amen. If you're going to preach with me, you can be seated in Jesus' name.

  97. If you're not going to preach with me, just shout amen throughout the service. We'll be all right.

  98. Amen. I'm so grateful to be in God's house tonight.

  99. I mean, as I was praying for this message, amen, I began to think about how

  100. important rest is for our bodies.

  101. Hallelujah. I began to do a little research on why rest is so important for us.

  102. Without rest, the body literally is unable to recover.

  103. Doctors say that lack of rest can lead to fatigue, it can lead to irritability,

  104. anxiety, weakened immunity, poor memory, and even heart problems over time.

  105. When people go too long without sleep, their judgment becomes impaired,

  106. they become emotional, frustrated, overwhelmed, and unable to think clearly.

  107. Rest restores strength. Even athletes especially understand this.

  108. You can train every day, but if you never recover, if you never take time to

  109. rest your body, eventually your body will break down.

  110. Amen. Rest affects every part of us. Without rest, physically,

  111. our bodies will begin to weaken. And without rest, mentally, our minds become foggy.

  112. And without rest emotionally, small things suddenly begin to feel very heavy.

  113. Some people may think that rest is laziness, but that is not true at all.

  114. As a matter of fact, God designed the body to need rest.

  115. And God established rest from the very beginning of creation.

  116. A person can survive a while without food.

  117. But prolonged lack of sleep will eventually begin shutting the body down. Amen.

  118. Exhaustion changes how you see life. When you don't have any rest,

  119. problems suddenly feel bigger and pressures feel heavier and fear feels stronger.

  120. Amen. Rest is something that is extremely important for our physical bodies.

  121. Amen. Some of you men know what I'm talking about. We know how dangerous it

  122. is when our wives don't get sleep.

  123. Amen. Can I get a witness in the house of the Lord tonight?

  124. Amen. We understand tonight that rest is very important for our physical bodies,

  125. but I've not come to preach to you tonight simply about a physical rest,

  126. but I believe that there is a rest from God.

  127. I believe there is a spiritual rest that God wants to give some people in this place tonight.

  128. Amen. There have been people that have walked into these doors that have been

  129. burdened down by some problems that are going on in your life tonight. Amen.

  130. Burdened down maybe by some financial struggles or family problems or turmoils in your mind.

  131. But I've come to tell somebody, God wants to give you rest in your spirit tonight.

  132. Hallelujah, Jesus. God does not want you to leave the same way that you came. Amen.

  133. God does not want you to walk out of these doors the same way that you walked in.

  134. But God wants to lift some burdens. I feel that in the Holy Ghost.

  135. God wants to lift some burdens off of some people's shoulders here in this house tonight.

  136. Hallelujah, Jesus. And man, the scripture that we read in Isaiah chapter 29,

    Isaiah 29 chapter mention

  137. it said, For precept must be upon precept, line upon line.

  138. Hallelujah. Here a little and there a little. For with stammering lips and another

  139. tongue is God going to speak to this people,

  140. to whom he said, This is the rest, wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest,

  141. and this is the refreshing, yet they would not hear.

  142. And then this portion of Scripture in Isaiah chapter 28 says.

    Isaiah 28 chapter mention

  143. Is a prophecy of what was to come, amen. It is a prophecy of the Holy Ghost,

  144. the Spirit of God that God was going to pour out upon his people, amen.

  145. He said with stammering lips and another tongue, will he speak to this people,

  146. amen. He said, this is how I am going to speak to my people.

  147. This is going to be my way of communication with my people. It is going to be by the Holy Ghost.

  148. And when we enter into that place where God begins to speak through us in a

  149. language that we do not understand, amen, by stammering lips and another tongue.

  150. Hallelujah. When we enter into that place where God is speaking through us, what are we doing?

  151. We are entering into a place of rest. We are entering into a place of refreshment.

  152. Hallelujah. Entering into a place, hallelujah, where our spirits can be renewed

  153. and restored in the Holy Ghost.

  154. Hear me tonight. Just as important as physical rest is for our bodies,

  155. spiritual rest is for your soul.

  156. You can only go so long without physical rest before your body begins to shut down.

  157. Likewise, you can only go so long in your walk with God.

  158. Hallelujah, without connecting to God's Spirit, without connecting to the Holy

  159. Ghost, without entering into that place of rest before your spiritual soul will

  160. begin to weaken and shut it.

  161. But God wants to give somebody that rest tonight.

  162. God wants to give somebody that rest, that refreshment in this house tonight.

  163. Isaiah chapter 59,

    Isaiah 59 chapter mention

  164. in verse 20 and 21, is another prophecy of the new covenant that God was going to have with his people.

  165. It says in Isaiah chapter 59 and verse 20 and 21, listen to these words,

    Isaiah 59 chapter mention

  166. and the Redeemer shall come to Zion and unto them that turn from transgression

  167. in Jacob, saith the Lord.

  168. Then he says, as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord,

  169. my spirit that is upon thee and my words which I have put in thy mouth.

  170. Hallelujah. Shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor the mouth of thy seed,

  171. nor out of the mouth of thy seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever.

  172. Here we see a prophecy of the new covenant that God was going to have with his people.

  173. He said, And this is going to be my covenant that I have with them.

  174. My spirit that I have put upon them,

  175. and my words which I have put in their mouth shall not depart out of their mouth,

  176. nor out of the mouth of their seed, nor out of the mouth of their seed,

  177. saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever." Notice

  178. there is a correlation between God placing his spirit upon us and God putting his words in our mouths.

  179. Hallelujah john chapter 3 verses 5 through 8 says jesus answered verily verily

    John 3:5–8

  180. i say unto thee except a man be born of water,

  181. and of the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of god,

  182. that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit

  183. is spirit then he says marvel not or question not that i've said unto you you

  184. must be born again hallelujah.

  185. Then verse 8 goes on and begins to describe what happens to every individual

  186. that is born of the Spirit.

  187. It says, Because the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound

  188. thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth. Hallelujah.

  189. That is born of the Spirit.

  190. Hallelujah. Notice, hallelujah, in verse 8, he describes what happens to every

  191. individual that is born of the Spirit. It says the wind, which is pneuma in

  192. the Greek, it literally means the Spirit of God.

  193. It's the Holy Ghost. It's God's Spirit. The Spirit of God blows where it lists it.

  194. And then it says, and you hear the sound thereof.

  195. That word sound is phone in the Greek. It is only translated as sound eight

  196. times in the Bible, but it is translated as voice 131 times in the Bible.

  197. And so the Spirit of God blows where it listeth. And whenever the Spirit of

  198. God blows, you hear a voice.

  199. Hallelujah. Thereof, you cannot tell where it's coming from or where it's going.

  200. And so is everyone that is born of the Spirit. And may I tell somebody tonight,

  201. this is what happens to every individual that is born of the Spirit.

  202. You do not receive the Holy Ghost by simply saying a sinner's prayer or simply

  203. believing on him or calling on his name.

  204. No, my friend, whenever God fills you with the Holy Ghost, God will begin to

  205. speak through your voice in a language that you do not understand with stammering

  206. lips and another tongue.

  207. Is he going to speak to this people?

  208. Hallelujah. Notice it's all about being born again.

  209. Whenever a baby is born, the first thing that baby does when it comes out of

  210. that womb is it begins to make some type of noise.

  211. It does not know the noise that it is making. It doesn't understand the noise

  212. that it is making, but it is the natural birthing process that that baby will

  213. begin to cry out with its voice whenever it is born.

  214. Likewise, whenever the Spirit of God is born on the inside of us,

  215. you know what happens? The Spirit of God will begin to speak through us.

  216. A noise will begin to be uttered through us, and it is the Holy Ghost.

  217. Hallelujah, Jesus. He that believes on me, the Bible says, as the Scripture

  218. has said, out of his belly is going to flow what?

  219. River of living water.

  220. Hallelujah. Speaking of rivers, I went to that water fountain.

  221. I didn't know how strong that water fountain was before church.

  222. And I felt like I was swimming whenever I hit that. It went all over me.

  223. Felt like I was in a river. Hallelujah.

  224. But out of his belly, the Bible says, it's going to flow rivers of living water.

  225. This spake he of the Holy Ghost, of the Spirit of God, that they which believe

  226. on me, as the Scripture has said, should receive.

  227. Acts chapter 2 verses 1 through 4 says, when the day of Pentecost was fully.

    Acts 2:1–4

  228. They were all gathered together in one accord and in one place.

  229. And when the Holy Ghost showed up, it said, Suddenly there came a sound from

  230. heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

  231. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as a fire, and it sat upon

  232. each of them. And they were all filled.

  233. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost. And what happened when they were filled

  234. with the Holy Ghost? They began to speak.

  235. Hallelujah. the Holy Ghost began to speak through them, through their voice.

  236. They began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit of God gave them the utterance.

  237. Whenever the wind, whenever the Spirit of God blew into that place,

  238. hallelujah, where they were gathered together, 120 of them in the upper room,

  239. there began to be a sound that filled the room, and they began to speak with

  240. other tongues as God gave them utterance.

  241. The wind began to blow in that place, and there began to be a voice.

  242. Hallelujah. The wind blows where it listeth, and you hear the voice there of

  243. what was it? It was the voice of the Holy Ghost.

  244. They were being born of the Spirit.

  245. Just like Isaiah chapter 59 verse 20 said,

    Isaiah 59:20

  246. my spirit is going to be placed upon them, and whenever I place my spirit upon

  247. them, I'm going to put my words in their mouth." It was a fulfillment, amen, of a prophecy

  248. of the new covenant that God was going to have with His people.

  249. He's going to put His Spirit upon them, and He's going to put His words in their mouth.

  250. Verse 37, Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said

  251. unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do?

  252. Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you,

  253. in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins,

  254. and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

  255. Then he said, For this promise is unto you and to your children and to all that

  256. are far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

  257. Notice the correlation between Isaiah 59, 21 and Acts 2, 39.

  258. Isaiah 59, 21 says, As for me, this is my covenant with them,

  259. saith the Lord, my spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in your mouth.

  260. Then it says, Shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy

  261. seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever.

  262. Amen. We have to understand tonight, Peter, the apostle of Jesus Christ,

  263. knew and understood and studied the Old Testament Bible.

  264. And I believe that whenever Peter saw that God's Spirit was placed upon these

  265. people and God's words were put in their mouth, he began to understand,

  266. hallelujah, that this promise, this covenant was not just for them.

  267. Hallelujah. But it was for the generations after them.

  268. Amen. It was not going to depart out of their mouth, nor out of the mouth of

  269. their seed, nor out of the mouth of their seed seed.

  270. So Peter could boldly declare, my friend.

  271. Even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

  272. Amen. I'm thankful on this Sunday evening in 2026 that God is still pouring out His Spirit.

  273. God has not stopped pouring out His Spirit. God is still filling people with

  274. the gift of the Holy Ghost, fulfilling His new covenant, placing His Spirit upon them, and putting

  275. His words in our mouth.

  276. Hallelujah. May I say, if you haven't been filled with the Holy Ghost,

  277. you can be filled tonight.

  278. Amen. God is still pouring it out, and the Holy Ghost is for you.

  279. But everything that has been said up to this point has been laying a foundation

  280. for what I feel to talk to us on for just a few more moments. Hallelujah.

  281. In Titus chapter 3, verses 3 through 5, says, For we ourselves,

    Titus 3:3–5

  282. who also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lusts

  283. and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

  284. But after that in Titus 3, 4, that the kindness and love of God,

  285. our Savior, toward man appeared.

  286. Not by works of righteousness, which we have done. Listen to this.

  287. But according to his mercy, he saved us. Then it says how he saves us.

  288. By the washing of regeneration, which literally is translated new birth baptism.

  289. And renewing of the Holy Ghost.

  290. Notice it does not say infill. Hallelujah.

  291. But it says that we are saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

  292. Amen. I am thankful tonight that I was filled with the Holy Ghost at an age of nine years old.

  293. Amen. I'm thankful for everybody in here that was filled with the Holy Ghost.

  294. I don't know how long it was ago. Maybe you were a child.

  295. Amen. Maybe it was many years ago or maybe it's been recent. Hallelujah.

  296. But if we are going to be saved, it's going to be because there is a continuous

  297. renewal of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

  298. It has to go beyond a one-time infill of God's Spirit.

  299. And we have to begin to be renewed in the Spirit of God.

  300. I am preaching to individuals under the sound of my voice that have walked into

  301. this house tonight who are in need of a fresh touch of the Holy Ghost.

  302. I'm preaching to people here who have walked into this place in need of entering

  303. into a place of rest, spiritually, in your mind and in your heart.

  304. Maybe you have walked here tonight. Maybe you've walked into this place and

  305. everything is perfectly fine in your life.

  306. Amen that is okay but there are some people amen who are weary in their walk

  307. with god in this house amen there are some people who have walked into this place

  308. burdened down by the cares of life burdened down by family problems burdened down by

  309. financial problems burdened down by stress

  310. and worry and fear amen burdened down by shame burdened down by guilt burdened

  311. down by depression Burdened by your addictions.

  312. Burdened by your struggles that maybe nobody else knows about.

  313. Burdened down by sicknesses and health issues. Burdened down by the battles

  314. that are taking place in your mind. But I believe that tonight God wants to

  315. give somebody rest in the Holy Ghost.

  316. Hallelujah, Jesus. Amen. I believe God is going to give you the strength that

  317. you are needing in this house tonight.

  318. Hallelujah, Jesus. Amen. It

  319. is not the will of God that you leave here the same place that you came.

  320. I said it is not the will of God that you leave here the same way that you came.

  321. Hallelujah. But it is the will of God that you walk out of this place.

  322. Amen. Change. It is the will of God that you walk out of this place.

  323. Amen. empowered by the Holy Ghost with rest in your spirit, being refreshed by the Spirit of God.

  324. Hallelujah. Can we talk to the Lord right now for just a moment?

  325. Oh, in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus.

  326. Come on, that's it. God wants to give you rest tonight. God knows the weariness in your mind.

  327. God knows the struggles, come on, that you are facing right now.

  328. And God wants to give you rest in this place tonight.

  329. Come on, when was the last time you prayed until you entered into a place of

  330. rest in the Holy Ghost where it wasn't your words coming out anymore,

  331. but the Holy Ghost was speaking through you and you no longer cared about the time.

  332. And you no longer cared about what was going on around you.

  333. You no longer cared about where you were going to eat after service,

  334. but all you were focused on, what was happening in that moment.

  335. Amen. God wants to take somebody to that place tonight where you're praying in the Holy Ghost.

  336. Amen. And you've forgotten about your surroundings, and he takes you to that

  337. secret place where he begins to change you.

  338. He begins to heal you. He begins to transform and renew your mind tonight.

  339. Oh, come on. He wants to give you rest for your soul. He wants to give you rest

  340. for your weariness tonight.

  341. Hallelujah, Jesus. Be not weary, my friend, in well-doing.

  342. Be not weary, my friend, in well-doing. For in due season, you're going to reap.

  343. Come on. There might be a weariness that has settled upon you,

  344. but God wants to lift that weariness off of you tonight.

  345. God wants to give you strength to keep fighting, to keep pushing,

  346. to keep pressing on so that you can endure unto the end.

  347. Hallelujah. Romans chapter 12, verses 1 and 2 says, I beseech you therefore, brethren.

    Romans 12:1

  348. By the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,

  349. holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

  367. For we know not what we should pray for as we help, but the Spirit maketh intercession

  368. for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

  369. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what he is, the mind of the Spirit,

  370. because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

  371. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and

  377. It knows the burdens, hallelujah, that you have walked into this place carrying.

  382. here in this house and he wants to renew your weary spirit.

  384. weariness in your mind, but God wants to take you to a place of rest where he

  385. begins to speak through you and he begins to edify you.

  386. He begins to strengthen your weary soul.

  387. The Holy Ghost knows you're in first. The Holy Ghost knows your struggles.

  388. And when you begin to pray in the Holy Ghost, it will begin to make intercession on your behalf.

  389. It will begin to make intercession for you. You don't need the right words.

  390. You don't have to have, amen, the exact words. But if you will just begin to

  391. worship God until the Holy Ghost is praying through you, God will begin to help

  392. you, and God will begin to strengthen you tonight.
