-
You lie, Joe chapter two Versus twelve.
-
It should be familiar.
-
It is where we left off last Sunday, even now
-
declares the Lord, return to me with your whole heart,
-
with fasting and weeping and morning rein your hearts and
-
not your garments.
-
Return to the Lord, your God, for he.
-
Is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in love.
-
And he relents from sending calamity, who knows he may
-
turn and relent, and leave behind the blessing, grain offerings,
-
drink offerings for the Lord your God. Blow the trumpet
-
in Zion, and declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.
-
Gather the people, consecrate the assembly, bring together the elders,
-
and gather the children, those nursing at the breast.
-
And let the brag room leave his room and the
-
bride her chamber.
-
And let the priests who minister before the Lord week
-
between the porch and the altar.
-
You can take your seats.
-
I want to say to you, I didn't finish this
-
last Sunday, and I did not expect to come back
-
to it.
-
But you only have to have that four point forty
-
four in the morning call that tells you there's something
-
I need you to say.
-
We live in an apostolic and prophetic times, and most
-
of us are missing it because a Satanic agenda has
-
been loose in the earth.
-
Satan has determined that this is the.
-
Time that he wants to destroy us and to get
-
us to a place where most of us are so
-
captivated by that which we feel that we automatically become
-
physically minded instead of being spiritually minded. But Paul reminds
-
us to be carnally minded is death, but to be
-
spiritually minded is life. Ever More, while there may be
-
things happening around us, some of which we understand and
-
some that we don't understand, we must understand that God
-
is simply a mystery.
-
He is not easily revealed.
-
To those who do not know him, but to them
-
that know him and receive him, he gives power to become.
-
Look at the person beside you, tell him, I have
-
the power to become. Some may even ask you, what
-
are you going to become? I've come to tell you.
-
In the midst of chaos, and in the midst of turmoil,
-
God is releasing the people of God to come to
-
a new platitude. These are not ordinary times. Neither can
-
we become comfortable, for the Bible decrees that in the
-
last days before Jesus returns, that many will be like
-
they were during the days of Noah.
-
Noah was simply.
-
Building and busy at obeying God, but everybody thought that
-
he was foolish. Folks laughed at him because what he
-
was doing sing superfluous.
-
What he was doing seemed crazy, and most folks.
-
Thought that Noah was out of his mind.
-
But those of us who named the name of Christ
-
must understand the spiritual platitude that we live in now.
-
These are not normal times.
-
We cannot become comfortable with what's happening around us. But
-
the Scripture declares in Second Chronicle, chapter seven and verse fourteen,
-
if I allow the case worms, and if I allow
-
the caterpillars to be loose in the earth, the sace
-
of God only have to seek his face up and
-
turn from their wicked ways. I've come this morning as
-
a reminder to help you to remember God is already
-
working behind the scenes. Two flags stand in God's presence
-
because God never gets caught off base. He is not
-
moved by confusion. He is not moved by what any
-
man could do. Because God understands the season in which
-
we live. These are trying times when you wake up
-
and cannot even desern the time in which you live.
-
One day is hot, another day is cold. One day
-
they're saying yes to this, and one day they're saying
-
no to this. One day we're happy, why another day
-
we are saying. One day we're moving into advantages sut
-
while the next day there are cuts shut. But I
-
come to tell you, in the midst of everything that's
-
happening around us, that you must understand that God is
-
not the author of confusion. He is in the middle
-
of everything that's going on, but He is not the
-
controller of things that are happening.
-
I know the earth is the.
-
Lord's and the fullness thereof.
-
But you must understand that at the middle of everything
-
that's happening, there can never be placed an explanation point,
-
because God is at work behind the scenes, and he
-
declares we cannot be moved. Behold, he that keepeth Israel,
-
neither slumpers nor sleep, nor is he moved by the trouble,
-
because He has always promised.
-
Us that trouble that cane lays all ways.
-
So I come this morning to declare what the prophet
-
Joel declares. Here in the second chapter of Joel, God
-
calls us to a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
-
He wants us to understand.
-
That despite what's happening around us, I'm getting ready to
-
get in trouble, that we must live right and.
-
We must leave holy.
-
He wants us to understand that in order to receive
-
the promises of God, We've got to understand nothing that
-
his promises come with conditions. He wants us to understand nothing,
-
that no matter what's happening around us.
-
Something he that keep it the Israel will not allow
-
it to come.
-
Ny thy dwelling, I need you to look at a
-
neighbor and help me preach and say, neighbor, that God
-
wants you to know you have nothing to be nervous about.
-
Happy. God wants you to know that He's a God
-
of comfort.
-
He's a God that does not cause the confusion, but
-
he sees the confusion. He's a God that does not
-
create the confusion. But he's the God that's going to
-
take care of you. So I come this morning to
-
say to this August body that God is saying to us.
-
He's willing and ready to help you.
-
He is, according to the Psalms, a very pressing help
-
in the time of trouble. So this is the time
-
of the Church of God must not just be normal.
-
But this is a prophetic hour. What do you mean
-
creature about a prophetic hour?
-
You need to pray prophetic, You need to sout pathetic,
-
you need to live profetic, you need to speak out
-
of your mouth prophetic.
-
It's not a crazy thing. It's not a spooky thing,
-
it's not a pathetic thing. But I've come this morning
-
to declare in this house. What you say out of
-
your mouth, you're getting ready.
-
To see it.
-
So now I've got to be careful even who I say,
-
bless you behind when you sneeze, baby, I can't say
-
bless you to everybody because what's coming out of my
-
mouth is going to create life in your mouth.
-
What I say is going to cannot pull you to
-
the next place.
-
And I've come this morning to.
-
Tell this house of Zion, and I'm halfway finished. I
-
promise you must understand nothing the power that you could
-
say sucking.
-
You must understand the hour in what you leave.
-
Not only is this a prophetic hour, but this is
-
an apostolic hour.
-
This is the hour of God walks you, honey, to
-
understand who you are and who you belong to.
-
I've come to tell you happy, God wants you to
-
understand that he's not making in it, but you're living
-
in this hour because God's about to show you something.
-
I need you to reach over to a neighbor hat
-
unsame name.
-
God wants you to know.
-
Ah, Happy He's getting ready to call some stuff to
-
come in your life. I know that's a lot to say,
-
but say, nave, God's getting ready to cause some.
-
Blessings to fall in your life.
-
He sees your struggle, that he sees your pain, not
-
he sees your tears shat.
-
But this is a prophetic hour.
-
It's an apostolic hour where the folks that know their
-
God shall do great exploits.
-
Lord have mercy. And I came. I came.
-
I came to tail somebody who's in this house Hut.
-
Get ready because the blessing are getting ready to find you.
-
Ain't looking at look around you because you don't know
-
who your next blessingty is coming through.
-
You don't know who God it's going to you the blessing.
-
But you better look around you and be careful now
-
how you treat the folks around you.
-
I think I said that there Sunday hat.
-
Be careful how you treat the folks Hut that you
-
think don't have nothing.
-
I need you to look at a naghor and same neighbor.
-
I've been through enough stuff. Fuck, I got the power
-
to bless you now. I don't had too many diagnoses
-
that wasn't in my favor, and I know he's a healer.
-
Tell that neighbor, same neighbors, our neighbor, I got the
-
power to bless you. I've been through too many trials
-
not to know that the Lord will make away somehow.
-
Tell your neighbor, say neighbor, I got the power to
-
bless you. So now here this pathetic hour, it means
-
there happy. I'm not luky at my present situation because
-
my presence and situation may not look good.
-
But have a neighbor.
-
Sake that neighbor by the hay, sake that head, your goal,
-
sake it all. Tell your name, said neighbor. God told
-
me to tell you. It'll be all right in the morning.
-
You ain't had the right neighbor. You better turn to
-
somebody else. Shake that a head like your goal, seing
-
it off. Say name, did you here what I said?
-
It'll be all over in the morning. We we we weep, weep, weep,
-
weeping me in door. But it's all in one night.
-
Shay got to sew up. Shay got to knock on
-
your nose. Shay got to invade your promise. Shoy has
-
to come with your diagnosis. Ah has got to come
-
in the morning. Wave your hands all the neighbors. Hey, say, neighbor, God.
-
Just heal to y'all, wait to hear and turn me
-
up in the house.
-
Turn me up in the mons, say neighbor. I don't
-
care what the doctor says. Tell him, neighbor. God told
-
me to tell you that he was loaded for your transgressions,
-
proves for your iniquity, chestisement of your peace. What upon
-
the hell, say, neighbor. Watch him heal.
-
Your cancer, Watch him heal your high blood, Watch him
-
heal your sickness.
-
Watch him say not your lips. We serve and our
-
some God.
-
So my present situation, it's not gonna get me help
-
getting me down?
-
Tap three, force that same neighbor.
-
God told me to tell you you might have a
-
present situation, but you have a future future promise.
-
And I've come to tell somebody here. God is God
-
is God is God.
-
Is moving you into your promise. God is moving you
-
into your blessing. God is moving you into your delivery.
-
So I need six minutes.
-
So y'all SI.
-
So if God is moving me into my future promise,
-
he can't move me as long as I'm stagnant. I
-
need you to look at the name and say, neighbor.
-
I don't know if you've ever heard this before, but
-
tell him faith without works, it's dead.
-
Sometimes you gotta praise him on a promise. Sometimes you
-
gotta praise him just because he's said it her. Sometimes
-
you gotta praise him. Cut your watch, what y'all? But
-
now I'm older her, But I ain't never seen the
-
rights or something? God, psychn can't you touch six?
-
Folks.
-
I know there's a whole lot, but such a league
-
six and say name. God told me to remind you
-
he's not slasher concerning his promises. But he's faithful, faithful, her, faithful, sakeful,
-
Her faithful, sakeful, sakeful. Her is our God. And I'm
-
reaping the promises he gave me. I'm taking back what
-
me hit of me, stole for me. I'm gonna see it.
-
I'm gonna see it. I'm gonna see him the blessings
-
of the Lord make him rich and add oh soul.
-
Class.
-
Shall I be in the city, class, sell be in
-
the field, lass, shut up, be on the rooftop. Tell him, neighbor,
-
say neighbor. If you can't stand me, now tell them neighbor.
-
This is where you might won't to get off because
-
God getting.
-
Ready to bless me.
-
God's getting already because to open the door. God's getting already.
-
Because to turn it around, it won't always be like this. God, God, God,
-
God shall perfect.
-
See one more time, see see see see soon or later.
-
It's gonna work in.
-
My table because God's turning again around. Gosh, switch it up,
-
Gosh flipping the switch.
-
Sid said, I'm closing. I'm closing, but you gotta be careful.
-
Because sin separates, Sin divides.
-
M hm, Sin severs, Sin pays a wage, Sin takes
-
babies from their mothers, husbands from their wives. Sin, when
-
it is conceived, has at least one of these elements,
-
the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh.
-
Y'all don't like this kind of preaching and the pride
-
of life. Sin is cold, it's hard, it's callous. Sin
-
breaks up parties, it breaks up families, It wrecks bodies.
-
But God hates sin. He doesn't hate the sinner. He
-
loves the sinner, but he hates sin. I heard somebody
-
in the back say, oh, say, he was preaching good.
-
We've entered.
-
The season called let that's not the stuff you find
-
on your clothes.
-
The season of let is the preparation in order to
-
get ready for Jesus's return.
-
It is where you have to make up in your
-
mind to lay aside every weight and every sin.
-
That does so easily beset you, because some things that
-
you may be doing, they're not sins, but they are weights.
-
Every time I try to get close to God and
-
close enough to grab my blessing, I ain't always sinning.
-
Sometimes I'm dealing with the weights. Some of you have
-
found yourself not being able to bench press the weight
-
that the enemy has sent you at this season. But
-
I come to tell you that the only reason why
-
he puts weights down is because he's trying to slow
-
you from receiving.
-
What's getting ready to happen.
-
If I was mc himmer, I have you slap a
-
nape and tell him you can't stop this, because God sent.
-
Me to tell you that you're simply.
-
Got to get rid of the stuff that's been in
-
the way because you're moving in a new direction. So
-
I got to send news. I got to send stuff.
-
If I got to let stuff come your way, I
-
got to save folk from your past to show up.
-
I got to let you find those old numbers I got.
-
I got to let you come across those old pictures.
-
I got to let you smell that perfume that makes
-
you remember side offfects in the back. I got to
-
sin that cologne so that you all most scat to
-
the place where.
-
You feel like.
-
It ain't worth it, God says to remind the church.
-
I don't like this kind of preaching, y'all. Y'all was
-
up a minute ago. You gotta lay a side.
-
Every week. I gotta get rid of.
-
The distractions, because it's dangerous to be attracted.
-
To a distraction.
-
I gotta real eyes that just because it's green don't
-
mean it's better. Sometimes I'm looking for green or grass,
-
but it's artificial turk. Sometimes I got to realize that
-
that what I think I need, I really don't need it.
-
Sometimes I gotta make up in my mind that if
-
I want the blessing of God, I got to pursue
-
him and leave some stuff behind.
-
Come to tell you as I close, God told me
-
to tell you if you pursue him, it's gonna be
-
worth it.
-
All. Y'all, Lord, I know you're tired of talking to
-
your neighbor. But I need you to look at somebody.
-
Tell if you.
-
Pursue him, it's gonna be worth it all.
-
I need you to look at another neighbor.
-
Tell me tell him.
-
You got to run up behind it and grab it
-
like it's your last. Same shut. You got to get
-
ahold of it, and you gotta let him get a
-
hold of you. You got to pull on them.
-
So I heard, show the class, let the priest leave
-
with the new let them stand between the parts and
-
the altar.
-
I come to tell you that the reason why I'm
-
still here is because somebody praying for me.
-
Hand me o them my so the times to pray
-
for me. I'm so glad, tak dear, and I'm.
-
Standing in the knee of a blessing.
-
But I heard, I heard, I heard the diggin's a
-
clas that if you pray, God will as a prayer.
-
The I streights my hands and to thee no other
-
help I know. And now withdrawal thou sup from me.
-
Don't leave me. I've been crazy, but don't leave me.
-
I mess up, what creates in me a clean heart
-
and renew the right spirits?
-
Oh God, I mess up, But I'm here now.
-
Save me, save me, save me, save me, Save me
-
from myself.
-
I'm closing.
-
Save my attitude, save my appetite, save my desire. Teach
-
me how to put back when I need to push back. Lord,
-
give me strength.
-
To deny what I want, but I know it ain't
-
good for me. Lord, give me enough.
-
Sense to know that shipwreck is ahead. And if you
-
don't get ahold of me the sin, it's gonna take
-
me out. Y'all sit, I'm closing.
-
I only got one parano. Sit, so I gotta lay aside.
-
The way.
-
So God says to them, We're in your hearts, not
-
your garments. In other words, I'm tired of an outward
-
display of what needs to happen inwardly. Oh y'all ain't
-
like that, so I gotta sit in the way. In
-
other words, I'm tired of the sonanigans. I'm tired of
-
fooling folk. I'm tired of faking the funk. I can't
-
I don't have my glasses. I can't see if that's
-
right with my young people. I'm tired of acting like
-
I got it when I'm about to fall apart. I'm
-
tired of being strong for everybody when nobody's being strong
-
for me. I'm trying to stand it up in the
-
middle of the gap when I need somebody to stand
-
in the.
-
Gap for me.
-
God, I'm tired.
-
Acting like everything is all right.
-
Then when I get home, I'm in my bedroom by myself, crying, Lord,
-
what must I do? So I got to lay side
-
every weight, lay side every cent. I'm closing, but it's
-
not possible unless there is the shedding of blood. I
-
don't know whether you feel Christmas is more important or
-
whether you feel the Resurrection is more important, but I
-
come to tell you both are essentual and necessary for
-
our survival. Come to tell you as I close it.
-
There was a system that was in place priest. The
-
priest had to offer sacrifice. He had to come into
-
the temple, and the priest couldn't stand in his presence
-
until he was right, unless he loses his life.
-
So the priest had to go to the level or
-
and he had to wash.
-
He had to confess before God, God, I'm saying I've
-
come short of your glory. The priest then had to
-
come to the autumn. Before he could go in the
-
holy place, he had to make a sacrifice. Can you
-
imagine the priest pulling with him a two hundred pound heifer.
-
He's got to make sacrifice. And that's a difference.
-
In the heifer that the priest pulled in this heifer,
-
because this heifer right here is dead. But can you
-
imagine wrestling with something that's wrestling with you grabbing something
-
and you trying to grab a hole all of it,
-
and it's trying to grab a hole of Can you
-
imagine having to pull a two hundred pound.
-
Heifer just so.
-
You can get the blood of the heifer to wash
-
away your sinds?
-
What can wash.
-
Away by sins?
-
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can't make behold
-
again the old I'm closing the old system.
-
Was flawed.
-
But he who knew not saying becomes sin for us.
-
It comes to forty and two generations. He passes by Abraham, Isaac,
-
Jay Moses more just to make the sacrifice for us,
-
even though he had done no sin.
-
John declared that for good, so loved the world.
-
Then he gave It's only begotten something whosoever believing in
-
him should not perish. This is your last time looking
-
at your neighbor saying, neighbor, I don't care what the
-
doctor says. I don't care what you say. Tell him
-
I'm not being disrespectful, but I don't care what your
-
mama said. Tell them I'm not worried about what they
-
say and what they think. Tell them the blood.
-
Done sign my name.
-
Tell them the blood got my healing. The blood got
-
my victory. The blood got my deliverers. Because I heard
-
Hebrews the clad without the shutting our blood, there's no
-
remission of saying I wish I had help one more, neighbor.
-
I look at them and tell them I ain't worried
-
about what I did.
-
You got the record, you know.
-
The story, but it's covered in its blood. I've been
-
washed in the blood all the lad There is a
-
fountain field were blood drawn from in now your face, sinners,
-
clothes beneath the flood.
-
Lose all, lose all, lose all.
-
I want to make sure you hear these words.
-
Lose all.
-
Their guilt, their guilt, their guilt, and stand last time.
-
Look at somebody across the room, say neighbor, I did it.
-
I'm sorry for it. But tell him, neighbor, you can't
-
bring it back up again because tell him, neighbor, why
-
I was busy doing it. He was erasing everything in
-
my past because he's about to give me a bright future.
-
You ain't had the right neighbor, say neighbor. God is
-
giving me a bright fuser. The car is coming, the
-
house is coming.
-
The money is coming.
-
Their naughty it's coming.
-
Watch God bless me and a bad economy, Watch God
-
bless me with a crazy president. Watch God bless me
-
when Eli Musky, watch God bless me.
-
He will happen, He will, he will. He's gonna bless
-
me before before this year is out, Before.
-
Before this year is out, before this year is out,
-
You're going to receive some of your greatest blessings.
-
I got one last thing for you, Keith living.
-
Keep living, keep living, keep living.
-
Don't die now, keep living because the best.

In chains
