Praise his holy name. Praise his holy name. We're going to read in two different places and not that we need to preach anything after for that wonderful message, but the Lord's called us to preach, and we gotta do our little part, right, with the Lord's help. And the Bible says in John, the 12th chapter and the 38th verse, it says, that the saying of Isaiah is, the prophet might be fulfilled, of which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed. Therefore they could not believe because that Isaiah said again, He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, and be converted, and I should heal them. These things saith Esaias when he saw his glory and spake of him. So we're going to read that first verse again. Esaias said, Lord, who hath believed our report, and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? And he said these things when he seen his glory. And so he was thinking about that very thing that who can believe the unbelievable? Glory to God and I'm thankful that the Lord comes back. I'm thankful. I was 12 years old. We were trying to get this priest held up. But I was 12 years old when the Lord spoke my name. It was unbelievable how righteous and holy He was. I was raised in a Christian home. I had a sheltered life, but hallelujah, I seen the wickedness of this world. When a man of God called me priest, it was almost as if I heard, Darryl, how can you believe the unbelievable? I'll tell you how. Jesus Christ said, I must go away, but I'm going to send a companion. Glory be to God. He sent that companion my way. When I was little, I knew how I ought to try. Let her please my God. But he weren't my God. He was the God of my parents and my grandparents. Oh, but I see that they believed in one. Even though all that he's done is entirely unbelievable. And by the world and all of its ways of thinking and what it measures success Oh, I see. When I was a kid, there'd be people there. Well, they didn't have much money. If they did, I don't guess they had much skill. I don't know what to do with them. Oh, but they had gained by exchanging them. They gained the world. No, they gained eternal life. Each and every one of us. If we would just put our faith and trust in Him and wait on the Lord. I say again, wait on the Lord. Now what does that look like? If you're waiting on the bus, you can wait and be asleep. But God's coming back for eternity. That's gonna be awake and looking for him. So I'll ask you, can you wait and be asleep? Yes, you can. But you'll be waiting on your destruction. I encourage you to wait on the Lord. When times get hard, God's children begin to pray. When troubles come, God's children look to the Lord and say, Lord, who would believe the report? God said, look at my glory. He'll prove himself over and over and over again. The Bible says there in the 18th chapter of Luke, in the first verse, and he spake a parable unto them to this end, that man ought always to pray and not to fade. Are you weary? Are you tired? I just put my head on my pillow and pray until I drifted off to sleep. I tell you ain't it good that the Lord ever woke you up and you can't get back to sleep. He puts somebody's name on your mind and you don't know what to do. But I tell you what, the Lord would have us pray. I don't know what sometimes our people are facing and the troubles we're having. Oh, but ain't it good to intercede on behalf of a brother or sister in Christ. Whoops, glad when troubles come. If they're out of control, you can pray to God, and God will send the barbagillion to your brother or your sister, though they be miles away, though they be behind locked door. The Bible tells me there's spiders in king's houses, and the Holy Ghost. and there ain't no hidin' from the power of God. That's why it's a scary thing, is it not? When we see these, that'll turn their back on the Lord. Think they can steal our church? I'm tellin' ya, you better pray. You better wait on the Lord, because if you think The Bible tells me that you can't let the Holy Ghost won't dwell in an unclean temple. If you're walking through try times, if you're being tested, pray and the Lord will deliver you and reveal himself to you. And how do I know that? Because I believe the report of my forefathers. You ain't the first one to be in trouble. You ain't the first one to walk this straight and narrow road. Oh, the lettuce truss in the God above, that is delivered. My father delivered my grandfather, our forefathers. Aren't you glad? Hard times are coming, but this is where the Lord likes Pray and then pray some more. I believe that the door of mercy is swiftly closing for the Gentile race. But hallelujah, just like there's a remnant of our time for the Jew. Till the Lord comes back, aren't you glad? He's made a way. The Bible says, it says here, and shall not God avenge his own elect? Oh, it's cry day and night unto them, though he bear long with them. I tell you, he will avenge them speedily, nevertheless. When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? I ask you, sound my sweet Jesus, find faith on the earth in this generation. Will you answer the call? Will you press on, press forward and trust in the Lord and believe? in the unbelievable, I believe the one that holds the keys of death, hell, and the grave, that made a way, that narrow head sleigh, that can walk on the highway of holiness. Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this will troubleth me, I will avenge her less. at least by her continual coming. She worries me. Do you see the picture there? A poor little widow woman. I reckon maybe, I don't know where her son was or her daughter. She might have been a widow indeed that never had a child all alone. Or maybe she'd be like some of these godly women that trained up a child. Oh, they stood that way. Oh, God, don't take your free will from you. Just because. Oh, I'd force everybody. I'd get them in a headlock. I'd take advantage of those sons. All I have to do is train them up. Yeah, and the Bible says train them up. Don't beat them up. The Bible says train them up. There ain't no better teacher. Who will believe our report? I tell you what, I believed it. Because there was some men, some godly men, men I wanted to be like, that believed it. And I knew. and the demonstration of the gospel. That's why there's so many counterfeits out there. Say all you gotta do is believe, and they don't live by it. Because that right there, that kind of belief, that kind of faith, if you wanna call it that, You can have your whole life and they won't affect you yet your young as it won't affect your neighbor Won't affect your co-workers. Oh, but I'm telling you something when you are March as it were to a different drummer if you read out of a different rule book. Oh, and then when people come and say, won't you come and go with me? I say, no, I can't. I don't know where they're headed. I'd love to go with you, but I ain't willing to pay the cost. I'd love to be your friend, but I'm telling you something. I have a friend that's sticking closer to me than a brother. Didn't have a brother. Had two sisters. Always wanted to have a brother. But my parents, they begrudge me that, sure enough. I ain't got over it yet. I went old red-headed sister of mine. I come home from the hospital. I'm a red-headed sister. But it ain't no brother. I don't want a brother. Oh, but I tell you what. It kind of grew on me like a rash or a sore throat. I knew what I needed, didn't I, honey? I knew that I needed to be on one side of your mama and you be on the other. Well, it's gonna be a sad time, a jubilee sad, a dark day when granddaddy dies. Well, well, more. But I'll tell you what, daddy, I wouldn't wish you back. When you pass, I'll just be wishing a little harder that I could be with you. Oh, mama, there might come a time that I'll brush your hair and you might You offer me anything out there in the world, it ain't worth it. I ain't gonna trade it no how. because I believe what most people figure to be unbelievable. Oh, but I know better because I've seen his work. Listen, you might be all alone like that old widow woman, but hallelujah, the Lord was looking for, looking after, if we'll be persistent, right? The Bible more or less was alluding to the fact Because she was persistent, she got what she needed. And then how much more of God being a good judge, and a righteous judge, and a wonderful savior, and a lovely master, shall he not give us what we need? Although we live in a fallen and a broken world, sometimes, certain generations of the Lord is going to have his children in a community where it's no longer a benefit. There was people a year ago that would join the church because it status within the community, but I see it coming where all the pretenders are going to quit pretending. There's going to be a purification, glory to God, of the church when the persecution comes down, and the farewell of the Christian. we'll walk out the door. I don't want you to. I want you to be born again. I want you to see what the Lord has prepared, that you might believe the report, that your eyes might be blinded and your ears deaf to the callings of the sweet Holy Ghost. So what are you going to do? Are you going to trust in the Lord? Or are you going to wait? The question remains, will there be any faithful? What does it say here? It says, when the son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Can you answer that with an affirmative? Can you answer that with yes, sir? I'm going to tell you, he comes in my generation. I'm going to do everything within my will. and in my power, and here's the beauty of it. It ain't my will, it ain't my power. It's gonna hold me, but it's gonna be the grace and the mercy of Jesus Christ. But I'll declare to you, he comes of my generation, there will be those that are faithful. I gotta go all by myself. I've thought to myself many times that my daddy's my best friend. Sometimes we walk across the yard just to be able to hear my daddy's voice. And there'll come a time, I'll wear up the Lord Terry's. Won't it be wonderful, daddy? Me and you's on the top of this here ground. Oh, when he comes. you to the gates of glory. It'll be all right. Used to worry me sometimes. I thought about what about my wife and all my kids. But I've already been shown over and over again that the Lord's a better father, a better a better pawpaw or mamaw than we all ever could be put together. He will watch after those that are his. He will watch after those that put their faith and trust in him. So what do we need to be doing? Putting our faith and trust in him. And we can answer that question with the affirmative. By the grace of God, I'll be found faithful. We worry and we fret because this life is but a vapor. We were just thinking about that yesterday. And I thought, there my boy, and my nephew. And Ron went down there in the cane field. One year, Jason, and Jubal, you're in the cane. And it just seemed like a little bit later, you'll be needing a cane. This life is but a paper. The only thing that'll stand the test of time is what we do for King Jesus. And it'll be worth it all. It'll be worth it all. It'll be worth it all. Let's get some song to sing. The Lord changed their message there, right there at the end. But we thought, well, we better be. Since Daryl ain't very good at preaching all by himself, we thought we might as well listen to the Lord. I'm glad we did, because guess what? 100, what, 200% of the time, I've never listened to God. I mean it gloriously. Why? Because the Lord is good and he knows what's best. Amen. Amen. Do you trust in him? Have you believed the report? Well, they're always blessed with a godly mother and a godly father. But here's the wonderful thing about it. You don't have to be raised in a Christian home. You just have to come to the altar and be adopted into the family of God. It's not good for man to be alone. That's why He created family. Amen? We might not know who our earthly daddy is. Oh, but if I could introduce you to my heavenly father, I'll tell you, he's good. My daddy is wonderful as he was. He's just a man and he made mistakes. Oh, but I have a heavenly father and he's never He's never made a mistake. He's never let me down. He won't let you down. We was supposed to be singing, weren't we? Go ahead, honey. Oh, God, her heart's heavy. I'm not fit to draw another Holy Ghost like this for some time. Don't wait. Don't wait. He's passing by, maybe. But he'll never pass by again. Don't spurn that sweet Holy Ghost. Oh, it's so sweet. that you'd understand that God is good. And yes, it is unbelievable, because we ain't dealing with man. We're dealing with the creator of the universe who knows your name before your mama even knew it. And I knew that on this day, this day, that he would pass by your way. Don't spurn the leadership of the Lord. Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you Lord. I know God that you are a wonderful son.
