-
Oh come on, give that to the Lord, Thank
-
you Jesus. You can be seated for a while if
-
you want to. Amen.
-
Hallelujah. I want to make an apology to
-
this church. I usually am the one that calls
-
when people is absent. Well this week got so busy and
-
I've been I've been studying at church and I thought I put my
-
absentee list right in this and closed it up and left it on my
-
desk. Lo and behold I evidently I
-
didn't lost out on the way and it's gone.
-
So nobody got a call because I didn't remember all those names.
-
So y'all forgive me, I'll try to do better this week, OK, I'll
-
try to catch up and, and, and be the Bishop that I need to be.
-
All right. I mean, he's going to help me
-
preach like y'all did last Sunday night.
-
Man, if you'll help me preach, then we're going to have church
-
tonight. Praise the Lord, feel the Holy
-
Ghost and felt the Holy Ghost in this service.
-
Amen. And and what I'm going to preach
-
to you I've been working on for some time.
-
It's been like little notes and little notes and kind of like
-
last week's was and kind of then LED up to this.
-
Amen. But I'm going to preach a very
-
serious sermon that I felt like God that just spoke to me and
-
wanted it tonight. Praise the Lord.
-
So if you'll stay with me tonight in this and don't get
-
lost right at the beginning, give me some time to build the
-
foundation and, and we're going to have church.
-
OK, You stand for the reading of the word.
-
Hey man, I'm going to be turning to second Peter, second Peter
2 Peter 3 chapter mention
-
chapter 3 and we'll be starting at verse #10.
-
I thank God for my wife. I'm thankful for her song Amen,
-
that she was able to sing tonight.
-
She was a little bit worried about that, but I told her, I
-
said, dear, it's going to be all right.
-
God's going to help you. And I know he had me.
-
He's he's, I said last week, I apologize y'all last week
-
because I didn't feel like I'd been giving it my all.
-
So I'm telling you from camp on, I'm planning on giving them my
-
all. Amen.
-
I'm I'm going to preach just like I'm always preached.
-
And I want to encourage and strengthen this church.
-
That's what I'm supposed to be a, a strength to this church as
-
Bishop. Amen.
-
Chapter #3 verse #10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief
-
in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with
-
great noise. Everybody said great noise, and
-
the elements shall melt with fervent heat.
-
I feel him right now, and the earth also, and the works that
-
are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these
-
things shall be dissolved. Glory, what manner of Oh glory,
-
what manner of person ought ye to be in all holy conversation
-
and godliness? That's that's a verse that we
-
need to take a look and underline looking for that
-
hasting until the coming of the day of God, where in the heavens
-
being on fire shall be dissolved, and the ultimates
-
shall melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless, we, according to
-
His promise, look for a new heavens and a new earth, wherein
-
dwelleth righteousness, glory. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that
-
you look for such things, be diligent.
-
Everybody said diligent, that we may be found of Him in peace,
-
without spot or blemish. I want to turn to Revelations
Revelation 21 chapter mention
-
chapter 21 and verse one and read there.
-
Amen. 21 and one, and I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for
-
the 1st heaven and the first earth were passed away, and
-
there was no more sea. Heavenly Father, we thank you
-
for your word tonight. Lord, we know it's forever
-
settled in heaven. We know it's already anointed
-
God. But I'm asking you your help
-
tonight. Lord, You promised if I'd humble
-
myself under the mighty hand of God, that in due time you would
-
exalt me, Lord, I'm not looking for the exaltation, Lord, but
-
I'm looking, God, to humble myself under the mighty hand of
-
God, to give myself away tonight that you can use me, Lord, that
-
you can direct my paths, Lord and God, work upstream in this
-
message, God, and help me through it.
-
I pray in Jesus name, Amen. You can be seated.
-
Amen. I want to preach tonight on this
-
subject. And you have heard this on TV,
-
radio, and hard to tell how many years I want to preach on
-
climate change, climate change. Now I'm going to build a little
-
format if you allow me to because I want you to understand
-
some things before I really get into the message.
-
See, it's it's called global warming and it was first raised
-
as an issue in 1972 at United Nations Scientific Conference,
-
which was the first Earth summit.
-
Global warming appeared for the first time in print August the
-
8th in 1975 with the publication of Wallace Wallace Smith
-
Bozacker in his newspaper. Anybody remember climate
-
control? Anybody heard that on TV or any
-
place? It's, it's, it's everyday
-
almost. You hear it.
-
Amen. And I might add, all of this is
-
built on 16 theories. Everybody said theories by 155
-
people of NASA. Let me tell you, a theory is
-
nothing more than a idea, just like The Big Bang theory.
-
Amen. So it's what they think.
-
It's what they think. Well, it's no better than what I
-
think. The truth is, on May 22 or 2020,
-
two 2100 governments, 2100 governments in 39 countries
-
declared a climate emergency. And guess who was behind it?
-
NASA. Let me insert something here to
-
stir your mind. Climate change began the moment
-
that man was placed in the garden.
-
You stay with me, I said. It began when man was first
-
placed in the garden. This thing isn't new, but
-
they're making it new. Let me give you a little of
-
information, maybe to make you aware of The space sector has
-
been granted a lot of exemptions.
-
I found out during the study. Essentially being able to do
-
anything they want to do. Yet they blame all the problems
-
of our environment on the cars and the factories and the fossil
-
fuels, the fuels and anything else they can think of, Amen.
-
While blaming the pollution on everything else.
-
They are polluting more than anyone or anything else.
-
In fact, 1 space rocket produces 76,000 metric tons of pollution
-
into our environment. Think about that a little bit.
-
And then they blame it on us. And they can do whatever they
-
want to. And they can do away with our
-
country if you please and shut down factories and do away with
-
jobs. But I'm telling you something.
-
God is in control. Some fuels that are used in
-
rockets converted to carbon dioxide and water, contributing
-
to the warming greenhouse effect that humankind is currently
-
working hard to stop. They say it's called earth
-
warming. Earth warming.
-
That's they want the earth is warming up.
-
Everybody said Amen. I want the church to warm up
-
too. Hallelujah, Naples is but one of
-
the many great fires burning inside the bowels of the earth.
-
300 or more burning mountains have already vomited flames out.
-
According to many genealogists, the whole center of the earth is
-
a mass of molten matter in their belief.
-
There we go. There's a theory again, Amen in
-
their belief. And they set up on a thin crust
-
which is cooled down. And the probabilities are that
-
the whole mass is in a liquid form and perhaps in the gases
-
state. How many times has the earth
-
opened up? Tell me that.
-
Think about that, They're saying, and I'm I'm not
-
disagreeing. I'm not saying I'm going to let
-
you draw conclusions, but if the center of the earth is a mass of
-
fire, and think about how many times it's opened up even in
-
Bible times and swallowed people up, Come on.
-
It's even happened in our day that houses have fell in and
-
this and that, holes in the earth.
-
God has swallowed people up and swallowed them up.
-
Amen. And we are living in a
-
generation right now that thinks that God needs their help to
-
control this world. But I want to tell you it's not
-
so because I'm here to tell you that God has his hand on the
-
knob of nature. Come on.
-
And he has everything under control right now.
-
He knows what's going on, Church.
-
He's he's, he's a God that made this earth.
-
And I'm telling you, I believe he can take care of it.
-
And he don't need anybody's help.
-
Oh, glory, Hallelujah, praise the Lord, Hallelujah.
-
I want to turn to Matthew chapter 24.
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
Matthew chapter 24, Amen. I want to read one verse there.
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not
-
pass away. So I'm going to tell you
-
something. Everything can burn up.
-
And I'm going to tell you the word of God won't burn up.
-
God said it's going to stand forever.
-
It's going to still be here. I've heard of people having
-
large fires and went in and picked their Bible up and it
-
didn't burn. Come on, Hallelujah.
-
You can't do away with this word, church.
-
It's going to stand. I don't care what scientists
-
say, I don't care what they believe.
-
I don't care what their theories are.
-
I'm going to tell you right now, it's going to stand in the midst
-
of the fire. The word is still going to be
-
going forward. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Jesus.
-
He's got his hand on my knob of nature.
-
Can somebody shout Amen, glory, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
-
The earth is polluted only because the people that are on
-
it. I'm going to let that sink in a
-
little bit. If it started in the garden and
-
it did, and guess what? Sin made its way into the
-
garden. So God took man out of the
-
garden and he placed him on the outside and he made this all
-
off. This is all off limits thing.
-
You're not welcome back in here. And ever since then we've had
-
trouble. We've had trouble ever since the
-
sin in the garden. It's it's been heating up.
-
This earth has been heating up since then.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
-
See what that what the world don't understand today that they
-
don't understand God is the one who turned up the earth's
-
furnace. They mad I said he he's the one
-
that turned it up. He's the one that turned up the
-
fire and if God turned it up, it's going to be all right.
-
I don't care. All of the presidents will want
-
to run and put this in in Bigfoot letters.
-
You know that we need climate control.
-
How you going to control it? News for him, they can't control
-
anything. I've got a God that's got his
-
hand on The Hobbit of nature and he's going to turn the
-
temperature up or down. Amen.
-
And I believe even according to the church and the prayer, come
-
on, I really believe that we got everything to do with how quick
-
the Lord's going to come. It's our prayers right now.
-
I believe that's held off his coming.
-
You know why? Because summers, we're we're
-
still singing the song. Wait a little longer, please.
-
Jesus, there's so many. He's still wandering out and
-
saying, come on. It's because of the prayers of
-
the people that he already hadn't destroyed a part of this
-
earth. Hallelujah.
-
I'm telling you, climate change is real in the inside and the
-
outside. Hallelujah.
-
Yes, it's heating up and it's going to get worse.
-
He's getting ready to burn up this earth and all the elements
-
they're in so he can make a room for a new heaven and a new earth
-
because he said it's coming. Revelation states that he's
-
going, he's going to bring a new heaven and a new earth.
-
Hallelujah. Praise God, praise God.
-
The earth is polluted because of the people that's in it.
-
And God's getting ready, I believe right now to clean
-
house. I believe he's getting ready a
-
man to come and get the church, Hallelujah.
-
I believe he's getting us ready for that great day.
-
The climate change that we are dealing with is not factories
-
and fossil fuels and et cetera. But I'm here to tell you, and
-
I'm here to preach to you tonight.
-
Today, our experts think they can change the climate by
-
themselves. But I want to tell you what's
-
really wrong. It's the climate in this Earth.
-
It's, it's the sin that has polluted this earth as we're
-
dealing with the reason we've got so many problems, the reason
-
that we've got troubles, Amen, is because of sin and the earth.
-
Every time that that the Hebrew people, the Jews got in trouble,
-
there was trouble that came to them because of their sin.
-
They had to pay for it. I'm going to tell you when the
-
sin gets grossly worse in the United States of America and the
-
world, I'm going to tell you, look at it.
-
There's problems on every hand, but there a God in the midst of
-
those problems to help you through the problem, to deliver
-
you out of those problems. Hallelujah.
-
He's taking care of her climate. He's got it in his control.
-
Hallelujah, Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.
-
Sin is polluted. It's hey, man, Hallelujah.
-
I'm just just a reference. I ain't going there.
-
But Second Timothy 3 and 13 teaches us something that it's
-
going to, it's going to draw worse and worse.
-
It's not going to get any better.
-
It's going to get worse. You might as well just, you
-
might as well just hunker down, say, OK, God, I'm going to need
-
you in these troublesome times because it's going to get worse.
-
It's not going to get any better.
-
Don't look for it to get any better.
-
It'll get, hey, I believe it's going to get better in the
-
church, but better. Can I say you, can I use bad
-
language? I think it's going to get better
-
in the world. It's going to grow worse and
-
worse in the world, but it's going to get better in the
-
church. Somebody say better in the
-
church. Somebody shout, it's going to be
-
better in the church. Come on.
-
I'm looking forward to greater things in this church.
-
I'm looking forward to healings and miracles and signs and
-
wonders that God has promised this church and he don't go back
-
on his word. Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
-
Hallelujah. In the Bible, when God had a
-
problem with the climate in the world, you know what he done?
-
He done away with the people that polluted it.
-
Yes, he did. How many times you seen Moses or
-
Aaron step in and stop the fire and intercede for the people
-
because the Lord was taking them until somebody stepped in the
-
come on, somebody stepped in the gate.
-
Hey man, to stop the fire from burning, to stop the earth from
-
swallowing them up. He he cleansed it by taking the
-
people. It was a causing the trouble.
-
Oh Jesus, Hallelujah. He done away to the people that
-
polluted it. He took care of the climate, if
-
you please. That's that's the God that we
-
serve. He he's going to take care of
-
our climate. He's going to take care of our
-
climate on the outside and, and it's going to get hot.
-
It's getting hotter every year. You know, you, you, you can't
-
track that. You can't track all of this
-
anymore because what used to be cold is now hot.
-
What was cold? What's hot now cold?
-
The weather is all over the place.
-
You know why? But God, because God's going to
-
prove to him that you can't help me.
-
You can't change me. I've got it in control.
-
Yeah. Come on.
-
I've got climate control. I'm sorry, Biden, you don't have
-
it. I've got the climate in control.
-
It's all right. I've got it.
-
It's going to be all right. Amen.
-
Hallelujah. He done away with the people.
-
Oh, glory Hallelujah. And it took care of the climate.
-
You know what? We need to change the climate.
-
We need to change people. Everybody shout people.
-
Everybody shout people, I want to preach there a while.
-
Come on, we're working on the wrong environment.
-
Come on, I said. We're working on the wrong
-
environment. If we could get the church
-
environment in order, it would take care of a lot of our
-
problems. If we could get everybody
-
worshipping like we should, come on.
-
If we start giving the Lord our all, come on.
-
If we would start worshipping with everything that's got in
-
US, come on. In fact, if we stop worshipping,
-
you know, like we really ought to be, it wouldn't be a one of
-
us sitting on our seat because we'd all be up worshipping.
-
Come on. They didn't have seats in the
-
Tabernacle. You had to stand.
-
You was going to worship. If you were standing somebody's
-
worship and you wouldn't. But now don't bother.
-
We can sit right beside somebody and they can be shut up and we
-
can be doing it. And they're said, what's got a
-
hold of him? Well, I'm telling you, I just
-
had a climate change glory. I started feeling heaven pulling
-
on me and he pulled me off of my seat and said it's time to
-
worship the God that you serve. Come on, I've turned the knob
-
not only of nature, but I've turned the knob of your
-
spiritual being. And I expect you to praise me.
-
I expect you to worship me. Hallelujah.
-
You're commanded to worship me. That's why you were made to
-
worship me. Oh Jesus, Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, take care of a lot of our problems.
-
We just worship Hallelujah, glory.
-
I want to tell you something and we have what it takes to do it.
-
How I was studying over here today and some things began to
-
roll through my mind and I began to think, you know, we got some
-
things that we have kind of let slack and it's called dominion.
-
We're not taking the dominion. We've got dominion.
-
When God placed Adam and Eve in the real world and out of the
-
garden, he said, I'll give you dominion.
-
Now I don't know if you understand that, but that means
-
you got control. You got dominion over this.
-
I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you dominion over what
-
you're taking care of now. Now we got, we got not only
-
Dominion, but we've got power. Everybody said power because
-
when we receive the Holy Ghost, he said ye shall receive power.
-
Acts one and eight, come on. And if you've got the power and
-
you've got Dominion, devil move out of the way because I'm
-
coming through. Come on, I'm going to change the
-
climate around here. Come on, church, you've got the
-
power and you've got the dominion to change.
-
Amen. The climate around the church.
-
Ohio glory. Hallelujah.
-
Well, let's put another scripture with that.
-
Hallelujah. And I'm Matthew 18.
-
I want to read this. Matthew 18.
-
Glory 18 through 20 Verily, I verily I say unto you,
-
Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, come on.
-
Everybody said, Whatsoever I bind on earth shall be bound in
-
heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed
-
in heaven. So now you've given dominion,
-
you've given power, and now you have the authority to bind and
-
to lose. What more do we need to change
-
to change the climate of our church?
-
What whole glory? What more do we need to change
-
the climate in our home? I've noticed the difference,
-
Sister McGee. Then I know y'all laugh because
-
it's old songs, but I'm going to tell you something.
-
Lately, we've been plugging in the old Bill Gaither tapes from
-
way back when. When y'all never wasn't born for
-
long. It's way past your date.
-
Way on back. And I'm going to tell you
-
something. I've noticed the climate has
-
changed in our house. So.
-
Well, yeah, but, Brother McGee, a lot of those people don't even
-
have the Holy Ghost. They didn't.
-
Maybe. But you know what I read in the
-
Old Testament where people, the the Holy Ghost set up on people
-
at certain times? Let me tell you, when those
-
tapes is going, Sister McGee and I sit there and we watched that
-
and tears began to roll down faces.
-
People began to get happy. And some of them was out doing
-
little jigs and, and, and what they felt, I felt in my living
-
room. Come on church, I'm telling you,
-
all we need is a climate change. All we need is for people to get
-
together and say I'm going to worship.
-
I don't care what you're going to do.
-
You could sit on your seat if you want to, but you're not
-
going to catch me sitting on my seat.
-
I'm going to get up and worship. I'm going to use the power of
-
the authority. I'm going to do use the dominion
-
that God has given me, and I'm going to have church.
-
The further we went back, Sister McGee, the more power you felt.
-
The old tapes are better than the new DVDs, if you please.
-
You know what? Because they've got all pious.
-
I know it's getting quiet, but you know what?
-
I've preached to a quiet crowd. I've preached 11.
-
I've preached to 10. Hey, there was 15 people that
-
voted me in the first church and half of them weren't members.
-
They just hung around. They wasn't living godly, they
-
was just getting by. I'm going to tell you something
-
though. When real Christians get
-
together, filled with the Holy Ghost and the power of God,
-
things began to happen. The climate changes.
-
Come on. I'm here to tell somebody that
-
if we get enough people bound together with the Holy Ghost, I
-
don't care how many people come through the doors of this church
-
that are unsaved, we'll change the climate because you can't
-
stick around and not worship. You can't stick around forever
-
and not feel nothing. You know why?
-
The knob is nature. God's got his hand on this
-
service. It's him that's in control.
-
It's not me, it's not pastor, it's not you, but it's a God
-
thing. Thank you, Jesus.
-
Hallelujah. Well, glory Hallelujah.
-
Feel the Holy Ghost in here. Thank you, Jesus.
-
Hallelujah. See what what the problem is is
-
we're worshiping everything but what we ought to be worshiping.
-
You hear me? I said, well, brother Freddy,
-
we're worshiping everything but what we ought to be worshiping
-
things. We got things on our mind.
-
It's money, it's property. It's I know, I know, I love it.
-
It hit some it's sports, it's it's motorcycles, it's see, I'm
-
preaching to me. It's campers, it's all of these
-
things. And there's nothing wrong with
-
that, that in the place when you need to get away just for a
-
break. That's all right.
-
But as sure as you come back in town, it's time to go to church.
-
Come on, it's time to start. Come on.
-
If you've got out and seen the beauty when you come back home,
-
it's time to worship the beauty of holiness.
-
It's time to worship our God, for He's holy, He's righteous.
-
One of you that want to serve a God that wasn't righteous and
-
holy, you can find enough wrong with your neighbor.
-
Oh, I heard that from. I heard that.
-
Go down. Come on, church.
-
It's time for us to worship. Come on.
-
We need to quit dropping the bomb on everybody else and start
-
looking ourself in the mirror. I don't know about you, but
-
every time I point my finger at somebody, there's four more
-
pointing back at me. Come on.
-
I don't have time to work on them.
-
I got to work on myself. When I preach to you, I'm
-
preaching to me. I'm not perfect, just forgiven.
-
I haven't yet arrived, but I'm on my way.
-
I said I'm on my way. Glory, Hallelujah, glory.
-
Our priorities are messed up. I want to read, I want to read
-
a, a verse and they'll all remember this.
-
And it's, it's, it's just, it's there.
-
It's been there a long time. Matthew 6 verse #33 I want to
-
tell you how good God is. He gives you a verse when you
-
don't know whether you want to worship him or not.
-
He gives you a verse but seek you first.
-
Everybody said first, the Kingdom of God, OK, He said,
-
well I want things, OK, I'll tell you how to get them.
-
Put you first, the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.
-
Now you're going to get right living and all.
-
Everybody said all, all these things shall be added unto you.
-
All of these things that I want to want, I want got to have, got
-
to have, got to have. I'll work overtime whatever it
-
takes out. Why don't you work overtime for
-
Jesus? So what?
-
I don't get paid. Yes, you do.
-
You remember last Sunday night? It's double to nothing, you
-
know, give and it the same, the same that you give.
-
It's going to be measured to you.
-
But notice. Yeah, measured to you again.
-
Press down. Yeah.
-
Shaken together. You know how corn is.
-
You can fill your bucket up and then you sit there and shake it
-
a while and it's not full anymore.
-
Is it shaken together? And then he said, I'm going to
-
run your bucket over. You want blessings?
-
Get your mind off of things. Come on, get it on the Kingdom
-
of God. And he said, I'll give you back
-
what you give, and I'll run your bucket over.
-
Come on, I'm going to press you together.
-
Come on, I'm going to shake you up and you're going to run over.
-
Glory. Here we go.
-
Glory. Hallelujah.
-
You know what we're doing? We're spending thousands of
-
dollars. Yeah, I know I'm going to get on
-
some of you animal lovers now, but you just going to have to
-
hold on till I get done. I'm not against animals.
-
I had I had dogs for my kids when they were little.
-
It's just from again, I don't need one to take care.
-
We got rid of our kids. We don't need any more kids to
-
take care of. If I wanted one, I'd I'd pray
-
for one, but I don't need one. So we're spending thousands of
-
dollars on animals that ought to been put to sleep.
-
I've watched Sister McGee and I was watching the show 1 night
-
and they was talking about this, this dog.
-
And they had the crazy thing on wheels behind because it didn't
-
have no hind legs. And people spent thousands of
-
stinking dollars sending in to take care of that dog.
-
But yet it's all right. Take care of it to kill babies.
-
You tell me. That's right.
-
They'd rather save an animal than to save a baby.
-
I don't know, but there's something wrong with that.
-
Come on. We can't euthanize animals.
-
Oh, no, we all go kill them. Well, if nobody's taking care of
-
them, why not? They're doing it to babies.
-
And there's. Come on, there's people that
-
want them, but nobody will put them up for adoption.
-
They kill them before they ever get a chance.
-
Now tell me that's all right. Abortion isn't all right.
-
That's killing. That's murder.
-
Sorry. It's murder.
-
First degree. All right, I know.
-
That's all right. Just go ahead.
-
I hear I'm going to preach it anyway.
-
You lock me up. You got to feed me, Laurie.
-
Hallelujah. There's something badly wrong
-
with our country today. The most important things.
-
I'm going to say this because I've preached this all my life,
-
My son, be a witness to me and everybody in this church that's
-
been with us very long. We'll we'll tell you, I say
-
this, I have decided in my heart that the most important thing is
-
this in this life is people, because it's the only thing that
-
you can take with you, the only impression.
-
You ain't going to take your dog.
-
I'm sorry. He's going to be back earthly,
-
you know, But I can take people with me.
-
So I don't know about you, but I want to load my bus right now or
-
my train. I want to raise.
-
I want to, I want to train. Come on.
-
Everybody's boy got quiet in here.
-
I feel doggies in the house and Kitty cats and whatever else.
-
I I know because I live in a trailer court and a lot of
-
them's got four dogs and most of them's got 2 and the Lord knows
-
how many cats because I see them running all over my yard and I
-
can't get a rid of them else I catch them and take them out to
-
the animal place and they won't even take them.
-
Come on, church. But oh Lord, let's don't
-
euthanize them. Can't have horse racing no more
-
because it kills horses. You know, how long has that been
-
in effect? Oh, glory, come on church, don't
-
get quiet on me. I'll say, OK, I'll just start
-
preaching again. The longer you're quieter, the
-
longer I'm going to preach. There's something badly wrong.
-
The most important thing is people.
-
That's all we can take with us. I want to see climate change in
-
our church. I'm getting close.
-
I'm see I'm doing pretty good. I've done good.
-
I may not be in the red tonight or I could be I was last Sunday
-
night. See, let me tell you, in the
-
Garden of Eden. It started climate change.
-
God moved them out and put them in the earth.
-
He thought that'll that'll help. Guess what, Noah come along and
-
it was in a mess again. Everybody was married and given
-
to marriage and they was frolicking and have their own
-
little parties and junk. And God got tired of it again.
-
So he said, I thought, I'll just claim change the climate.
-
So he brought the flood. No, I preached to him 120 years
-
and they still didn't change. So he saved eight people out of
-
the whole world. Think about that.
-
I don't know whether you're scared or not, but you ought to
-
be. It's time for us to start
-
preaching. It's time for us to start
-
gaining souls. It's time for us to get somebody
-
to go in the ark. Come on.
-
I don't know. But hey, Brother Aiden, I don't
-
want just 8 saved. I want my family.
-
I want you in there with me. I want Brother Trevor in there.
-
I want this whole front row in there.
-
And and I'm not going to stop until you hear the truth around
-
here. And Brother Mcgee's not going to
-
stop till he preaches the truth. And Brother Mason's not going to
-
stop till they hear the truth. Come on.
-
Truth's got to be. Come on.
-
It's got to be spread abroad. Brother Alex is not going to
-
quit. Come on.
-
Yeah. Brother Zach's not going to
-
quit. Hallelujah.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.
-
Then Noah. After Noah, then we come along.
-
And Sodom, somebody sent up some bad word on them.
-
And so God come down and check it out himself, see if it was
-
just as bad as they said. And I think it was even worse
-
because he said, better get out of here.
-
You better if you if you want to live lot, you better take your
-
family and you better get out of here.
-
And Lot lingered. His wife really lingered because
-
they started out and he said, don't look back.
-
You know what, here's the problem in the day and age we
-
live in, we give people exciting if we're not careful, they look
-
back and when they look back and take somebody with them, it's
-
not one or two. I've always prayed and I if if
-
I've been the cause of anybody failing or falling, forgive me.
-
I'm here to lead you to a place called heaven.
-
He warned him, said don't look back.
-
Lot's wife look back of a city I think that she had some love for
-
and when she did, she turned into a pillow of salt.
-
My wife could have used that right now the salt she's not the
-
salt of the earth. Maybe well, maybe she is
-
Hallelujah. So we're talking about climate
-
change. Everybody said climate change.
-
Now I want to say this and I'm, I'm, I'm not too far close.
-
I want I want to get this. The church is cooling off while
-
the earth, yes, heating up. It's harder right now to get
-
people to church. When I started minister Minister
-
Stern in Kingsburg Pentecostal Church in 1988, helping that
-
church, it grew while we was helping it, another another
-
minister would come and every other Sunday night we'd we'd
-
take the place and we'd preach and and God began to build the
-
church even before I came past her.
-
Come on, you know why we've changed in the climate because
-
when we walked in that church, my wife is a witness When you
-
all when we first walked in that church, you could almost heard a
-
pin drop on the carpet. I had AI had a man.
-
I will never forget it as long as I live.
-
I had a man after the first message that I preached in that
-
church and come to me and said where did you get such
-
anointing? I said it's God-given it's God,
-
it's not me, it's God. Come on, Church, if we would
-
take Dominion, if we would take the authority, if we would take
-
the power that we've got wrapped up in this body right now, we
-
can change Mount Carmel. I want, I want to go here.
-
We cannot allow Mount Carmel to keep on being Mount Carmel
-
because since we have been here, I want you to see what has
-
changed. We've now got booze joints open
-
on Sunday. We didn't used to have that.
-
We've got gambling joints almost on every corner taking food off
-
the tables. It's people, it's addicted, that
-
junk. And now they can't even pay
-
their bills or can't buy food for their family.
-
Now that's what's it's turned in the wrong direction and we can't
-
allow that to happen. Somehow there's got to be a
-
climate change in the church and we got to say we got to get down
-
to business and win Mount Carmel.
-
Else if we don't, this city's going to be destroyed.
-
Come on, church. We've got a lot of religious
-
people in this city. We've got people, most of this,
-
most of this city probably goes to church on Sunday.
-
Come on church, somebody help me preach.
-
I said we've got a lot of people that go to church, but they
-
don't have the full truth. Where are we at?
-
Where are we at in the mix? How many are we witnessing?
-
To how many souls have we won? Glory?
-
Hallelujah, We need a climate change.
-
I'm going to tell you we need a climate change in our heart.
-
We need a climate change in our mind.
-
Our upper story needs to get higher.
-
Come on. We need to get closer to God.
-
Our mind needs to be thinking on those things.
-
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things that are honest,
-
whatsoever things that are true, whatsoever things that are pure,
-
Come on, glory. Whatsoever things Hallelujah,
-
are good, whatsoever things that are are lovely, and whatsoever
-
things that are good, Report. If there be any virtue and there
-
be any praise, think upon these things.
-
Our thinking process needs to change.
-
We need a climate change in our mind.
-
Oh glory, we need a climate change in our spirit.
-
When we come into the House of God, we ought to hit the prayer
-
rooms. I hadn't been giving it my all,
-
but I have since church camp. I've been giving it my all.
-
We need to give it our all. I don't want to lose any more
-
family. I want to gain family.
-
I thank God that I got all five of my kids usually here on
-
Sunday morning, but I want to more than have them here.
-
I want to have them involved. I want to have my grandchildren
-
involved, brother Freddie. I want to see my nieces and
-
nephews. I want to see them come in and
-
get involved. I want to see them saved.
-
I want your kids to be saved. I want your families to be
-
saved. Where's our heart at?
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah, glory.
-
I need a climate change in my spirit.
-
I need to get the right spirit, create in me a clean heart,
-
renew a right spirit within me. God, If it's if it's not every
-
day on God, then there's something wrong in your spirit.
-
There ought to be a longing in my heart that I can see somebody
-
at McDonald's to witness to that.
-
I could tell somebody a story about Jesus and it'll stir their
-
mind, stir their spirit, make them want to come to this
-
church. Glory Hallelujah, I need AI,
-
need a climate change in my weakness.
-
Come on, I need a climate change in my soul, in the depths of my
-
spirit. I need a change.
-
Oh glory Hallelujah, I need AI, need a change in my weakness.
-
Come on, I said. I need I need a change.
-
I need to change a climate change in my weakness.
-
I need a climate change in my struggle.
-
I need a climate change in my worship.
-
I need a climate change in my praise.
-
I need a climate change in my dance.
-
All right, all right. Hey, I know I've had a few times
-
lately. I know, I know when I run, some
-
others is running. Thank you, Jesus.
-
You know why, Sister Sheila, I can remember.
-
It's the second church. When somebody got up to March.
-
Before you know it, there was empty.
-
Pews were empty. Everybody was following.
-
Now we don't follow quite as well this going Bishop.
-
Bless him. Bless what?
-
Don't you want to get blessed too?
-
Right. My goodness, we think I am well
-
to walk. Hey, if you've got a trot,
-
that's all right, come on. If you've got to go this way,
-
that's all right. If you just got to stand still
-
with worship, that's all right. But please, worship, Come on.
-
I need a climate change. Somebody say I need a climate
-
change. That ain't good enough.
-
Somebody shout, I need a climate change.
-
Climate change. Hallelujah.
-
Thank you. Jesus, I need a climate change
-
in my dance. You know you, you need to dance
-
differently than you ever have. It's all right.
-
So why don't that look stupid? That's all right.
-
It feels good. We need a climate change.
-
Need a climate change in my shout, listener say Hallelujah.
-
We need to say Hallelujah. Come on, give me a Hallelujah.
-
Listen to that. Mount Carmel.
-
I just heard Mount Carmel ring again.
-
Sound like Jerusalem. I'm finished for the Alex.
-
Whoever's playing up here, I like that.
-
Just motion it to that. It's all right now.
-
I'm going to open this altar fact.
-
They're going to sing a song. You might not want to go with
-
the altar yet. You might want you might want to
-
do something else first because I told him to sing me a special
-
song tonight because I believe we sat on the Pew long enough
-
and I think it's time to get up more ship.
-
It's good. I'm I'm not I know.
-
Or sometimes you don't feel like it.
-
There's some, there's been a lot of nights I come in didn't feel
-
like, and I'd done it anyway and I felt better and I went home,
-
man, my legs was hurting and I was feeling weak and all of
-
that. But when, after you know what,
-
when the spirit takes over, it leaves.
-
Come on, you know, you can have climate change take place even
-
while you're worshipping. Things change and say, whoo,
-
something happened. Feels like I just got a a bottle
-
of liquid IV. Maybe we better get some of that
-
and put in here and have everybody, you know, before they
-
go to worship to drink a bottle of IV.
-
And then the first thing I know, can't you see them young people
-
up here doing the two step or the whatever?
-
All right, you can stand, because something's going to
-
happen now.
