Good to be here this evening. Good to see you here. Appreciate everybody coming out this way. Thank the Lord for life tonight. Good word of God, I need it. Somebody told me that it was good and I said, yeah, I need it. We all need it. If we ever get to the place where we feel like we don't, we're in trouble. I hope that we pray much today for the service tonight. God's will be done. May the Lord help us all to just come together. Amen. Just have church. This could be it. This could be the last time, the last opportunity. Amen. I just want to be that displeasing. We'll pray tonight before we do anything else. Let's pray for the service. Let's pray for our laws. I ask you to pray for my sister. She needs the Lord. We pray for her. If there's any lost here tonight, we're tickled to death to have you. Amen. You don't have to leave that way. Amen. We may have come in lost, but we don't have to leave like that. We might have come in discouraged. We might have come in looking for help, but I believe that the Lord has everything that we need. Anybody else tonight? God bless you. I thought always free. I once was so broken and battered by sin. The stories that I tell you, Such a marvelous thing, how love brought together Becker and the King. I've traded for riches the rags of my soul. I gave Him the field. And he made me whole. I offered him nothing, yet he made me everything. Yes, he found a beggar, and I found a king. You say it's so hard for you to believe. Well, all I can say is that I believe. Of all the love stories this world has ever seen, There will never be a greater than how my Jesus loves me. I traded for riches the rest of my soul. I gave Him the pieces. and he made me whole. I offered him nothing, yet he gave me everything. Yes, he found a beggar, and I found him. That calls for love, that pained my heart. My sins were gone. My sins were gone. There is a pain that tried to hide this precious blood that gave me life. So I come to tell you he's alive, to tell you that he trusts every tear that falls. to tell you that he stays, to shout and to proclaim that he's coming back for you. There is a fire, and it sparks the fire. It heals the sick. ♪ He has the power to free the bad ♪ ♪ As chains they fall upon the ground ♪ ♪ So help me, Lord, and cleanse my soul ♪ I own my own.

So I've come to tell you that He stays, to shout and to proclaim that He's coming back for you. If I had the one word, Jesus would be heard. If I had the one breath, I'd use it to praise Him. For he is willing, all that matters, when this thing is over, across death's cold waters, we'll see more clearly, and see that If this were my last day, I'd shout Jesus all the way. If this were my last time, I'd spend it praising Him a while. If I had but one breath, I'd use it to praise Him with. For he is willing, all that matters, when this thing is over, across festival waters. ♪ We'll see more clearly ♪ And see that really He did ♪ And if He hadn't loved me ♪ Like He did I wouldn't leave ♪ If He hadn't saved me ♪ I'd suffer through eternity ♪ If I have but one prayer ♪ I'd use it to praise Him with For he is really all that matters when this thing is over. Across this cold waters, we'll see more clearly. We'll see that really. We is really all that matters when this thing is over. Across this cold waters, we'll see more clearly and see that really he's in. Hey, I've been looking back along this blinding road. To the old familiar markers of the verses I have known. Though it may sound simple, it's more than a cliche. There's no better way to tell you than to say, God's been good in my life. I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams as I go to sleep each night. Though I've had my share of hard times, I wouldn't trade them if I could. I've cried some weary tears, but I've felt the sun shine through me as I face my greatest fear. Oh, yeah. I feel blessed beyond my wildest dreams as I go to sleep each night. Though I've had my share of hard times, I wouldn't trade them if I could. There's a day just out in front of us I know it will surely come That eastern sky will open wide for me And I know from here to heaven it's but a twinkling of an eye. And in the midst of all his glory comes the sweetest cry. Welcome home. I knew you'd come Welcome home You're here for us Look around Was it worth the wait? Welcome home ♪ Stepped through the gate alone ♪ I believe it please for me ♪ I'll see my mom and dad ♪ My brothers and my sisters ♪ Everywhere you look are friends Oh, the greetings will be precious from the ones we love so dear. But a mortal man has never heard the likes of what we'll hear. Welcome home. I knew you'd come. Welcome home. You're here for good. Look around. What you've learned the way. Welcome home. I don't need silver. And I don't need gold. I don't need the things of this world. But I need Him more than all He can give. He's my salvation. ♪ The year is done ♪ ♪ And our foes are battled ♪ ♪ Victory's been won ♪ ♪ He's all I need ♪ ♪ I don't need fortune ♪ ♪ And I don't need love ♪ really care. He is the master and is my everything. He's all I need when trials come. He's all I need when that time shall come. And I cross that river when my fear is done. And I fought the battle, victory's been won. Well the scorners and the mockers Have so much to say Defying love only And the miracle way They play their only strings It's in the human realm I might have believed them Had I not felt His hand It's too late to tell me God is not real It's too late to tell me He has no power to heal. Much too late to tell me there's no power divine when He's already saved. I know that God has parties for the great mighty sea. For many times my God has parted waters for me. I know that God can raise the dead. I know about His love. For He raised me from the grave of sin to the power of ♪ Now it's too late to tell me ♪ God is not real ♪ It's too late to tell me ♪ He has no power to heal ♪ But it's too late to tell me ♪ There's no power divine When He's already saved the poor lost sinner's heart like mine When He's already saved the poor lost sinner's heart Is there a mountain in front of you that outstands what never moved? Tell me Tell me a day he was less than almighty, when he could not roll back the choice. When you look back, you're gonna find there was never a time when I was so strong in the Lord and remembered. Take all the faith and stand firm. Oh, since you have given your heart to Him, the Lord keeps His promises. He's not been faithful. Tell me a morning his mercies were new. Tell me a moment he wasn't able to carry you through. Tell me a day he was less than almighty When he did not roll back the tide Child, when you look back, you're born of God We lost all of our resources looking for a time when God wasn't there. We would run out of time to try to look for a day when he didn't bless us. We'd just be wasting our time to look for any moment when he wasn't a God that was making your heart beat. It's been God that put an air in and out of your body your whole life. God had brought you down to this place tonight. But most of all, what thrills my soul, it was God when I was lost on my way to him. Now nobody else could do what he does. Nobody else could reach down in the field that I was in or on the hill. He's a good God, ain't he? I'm glad he's faithful. There was one time the Lord said, Who do men say that I am? He said, will some say that you're Isaiah or Jeremiah or one of the prophets? And he looked at little old Simon and said, who do you say that I am? He said, I say, the Lord, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. He asked him, if you may know, he said, amen. Now will you also go away? He said, Lord, to whom shall we go? There's nobody else that can do what he can. Good to be saved. I ain't no preacher anyway. I do appreciate the Lord. I saw some people making the right choice today. Amen, making the right choice. I guess it's Jonathan, that's your name. I pat him on the shoulder, I said, you made the right choice. Then I seen a lot of these young folk making the right choice. Amen, when we make the right choice, we'll be blessed. Love you tonight over the book of Chronicles tonight First Chronicles chapter number four. Amen. Good to be here. What wonderful preaching we heard Kind of dreaded following that I appreciate the Lord He's faithful, and I am who I am. What you see before you, if you see me at Walmart, it's who you'll be. Amen. You see me down at the drugstore, this is what I look like. I'm just who I am, in other words. So, we just appreciate another opportunity to be in the house of the Lord. I won't be before you, I don't reckon, too long tonight. Just however long the Lord, I could listen to what I heard last night all night. Amen, I really mean that, amen. But the Bible said here in verse number nine, in chapter four of First Chronicles, verse number nine, when you're there, say amen. You do pray for me tonight. You're not looking at a man that's capable tonight. No, you're not. You're not looking at a man that can stir it up on himself, no. It takes the Holy Ghost. It takes the Spirit of God. It takes unction tonight. But the Bible said, and Jabez was more honorable than his brethren. And his mother called his name Jabez, saying, because I bear him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, O that thou wouldst bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that that thine hand might be up with me, and that thou wouldst keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me. And God granted him that which he requested. Amen. And so that's where we'll stop tonight. And I was thinking tonight of prayer. and thinking of prayer tonight, and I was thinking about it there on my way home last night, going to the house, and when I got in there, I told my wife, I said, I'm gonna go back here and read, but I got to continue to lay there. This is what God gave birth to me. Amen, so you pray for us here just a few minutes tonight. Now, I'm glad to see so many come to the altar and I thought about as those children were praying tonight and the great example that they've seen in this church. Amen, truly tonight, we need more examples and more heroes. in the house of God than we do on a ball field. Or down in Hollywood, my friend. We need heroes right here in the house of God, my friend, tonight. I'm thankful, Brother Charlie, for the heroes that I grew up with. Amen, but I want to tell you something tonight. I want you to see standing before you, I've not always been. Hey, God, I'm telling you tonight, There was a time in 1989, I needed a savior, my friend. I want you to know he come to where I'm at. Thank God it rose me up. Amen, it made me who I am today. I didn't get here by accident. where I'm at tonight. It'll take you as long as your life. Amen, to get to where you are. Whether you make the right choice or not. Amen, you'll reap at the end of the way. Amen, now listen. Our brother, oh, our brother J-Beth. A man from the tribe of Judah. Thank God, what a messed up man. There was something about J-Ben. He was born in green. Amen. But he looked at his forefather. He looked my friend. I buried his brother. And he just said, you know what? I don't want nothing either. I love that mess. Thank God I want to dedicate myself to God. I look at the world today and I've said in my heart, I don't want to be like the world. I want to be different. Thank God tonight. Don't you want to be different? Thank God. It'll show on our life. It'll show in our daily walk. We want to be different tonight. You pray for me a minute. Thank God I'm not Gordon tonight. Praise God. I bet you hear me tonight. Over in the book of Genesis chapter 29, old Jacob set out. He's looking for a wife. And he finds himself down there at Laban's house. And he finds himself in love with a woman. Amen. And he desired for Rebecca to be his wife. Amen, and it worked seven years. And the Bible said in Laman, I give him Leah, who was tender-eyed. Amen, she witnessed fire to look upon. Amen, pray for me tonight. Hey God listen, that ain't what he desired. But God had a plan. Thank God less any word. Amen for seven years. And brother here he stood by old Leah and her. Thank God and Leah began to have sons. Amen to the Rebekah. Amen was wedded to Jacob. And she began to have sons. and the fortune of being Judah. And so we read about Judah. But you also, amen, gotta understand where this tribe was. Thank God it was a mixed up bunch. Thank God it was half-baked bread. And shame, in one day and out the other. Thank God, you know what J-Bear said? I don't wanna be like him. And I won't be cold one day, and hot the next. And the Lord told the church of the land of Zion, he said, I'd rather you be hot than cold. Forgive and forgive, I'll spare you. Oh, listen to me tonight. Oh, listen to me tonight. He decides I'm not gonna be like my brothers. Hey, and the Bible said he was more honorable. You don't hear a lot about J-Bells. I've been all these years, I've heard it. God heard his prayer. Thank God. Some people think they need their name in their lives. We think we need to be on the deacon board. Or we think we need to lead the choir. And be some respected elder in the church. But all we really gotta be is a child of God. Oh God, you might not sing the best. You might not praise the Lord. You might not be that preacher man. But in his eyes, you're a child of a king. Let's praise the Lord. Amen. I left down there today. I got me a cup of coffee and come over to my house. I said, Lord, I want you to know I ain't nothing. I ain't nothing. I can't do nothing. Won't you go ahead and not let me have to preach. Amen. I ain't much. I know I ain't. But you can't love God no more than I do. Thank God he's been good to me. He's been God to me. Thank God he's been there when no one else has. He's been my healer. Thank God he's my savior. He's my Jehovah-Jireh. He's my all and all. Ain't you glad, sir, that you got that man on your side? Begin to look up there. Begin to see the important things. He looks up there and he sees old David. He backslid. Amen. Come back to God. Wrecked his life. Sword laying in his door. Oh, he lied. He was a killer. Stole a man's wife. Killed that man. Amen. He was trying to cover up the truth. But he realized in the long run, you can't hide the truth. It'll come up. And the thing that you sow, that's what you'll reap. The very thing you've done in secret will be showered on the house. That very thing you've done in the dark, it'll be brought to light. And he looked down on the little father, and he seen Solomon in all his wisdom. and riding in the mud, yet he went away from God. And he built orders to Baal and all these other gods. He was carried away with women in his heart. He liked the wild women. Thank God you listened to me today. Judah looks up, he says, you know what? I don't want to be that way. I want to be in the good grace of God. I need him to lead my life. I need him. Praise the Lord. So you begin to ask some things. It's written right in your book. Hey man, I can't add nothing to this. The Bible said, and J-Baz made the right choice. Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother. He made the right choice. What did he do? He called upon the name of God. Amen. The one that can answer by fire. The one that he saw work and brought men back that went astray, who fixed their mess. Thank God today they ain't nobody today. They ain't no drug, they ain't no psychiatry, they ain't no program that can fix you. Finish him! You have to go to the bar! He lifted up fire and he called on God. Have you called on God? Well, I'm gonna tell you something. I'd hate to be so stubborn. Come to the house of God. I had so much pride in my life. I couldn't get up out of my seat, get myself down to the altar. You ain't got medical reasons. You need to get yourself on the altar. Hey, God's doing it because he loves you. Preachers have been accused of being mean. There are a lot of them not being mean today. There's a lot of them not being mean. Thank God we've got a house full of mixed breeds. Goats and sheep. Are you hearing me? You're running off the cliff to hell. And that hireling's leading the way. When the plug goes over, they'll all follow. I want you to know, sir, you grab ahold of the truth. You buy the truth. You sell it now. If it cuts you to pieces, you say, Lord, put me back together. That's good. That's good. Ain't that right? You know who Samaritans was, don't you? They was half-Jews, but they didn't have a whole Jew in them. And so the Jews looked at her and said, you ain't got a God, you're a dog! And even one little old girl looked at Jesus one day, she said, even the dog desires the crowns that fall from the highest of heaven. I need the crowns. I need what falls from the highest of heaven. Little Samaritan woman. She had enough sense to know she needed what was on His table. There's a lot of folks sitting in the house of God today. They munched on the world all week. They're weighted down with the world. You can't get an amen. I love them. The devil's rocking them to sleep. Hey, listen, they're a little sleepy, a little slumber. They're caught in their hands and they're dying on the church pew and going to hell. No Jacob approached, there was three flocks by the well laying by that well. Sheep laying by that well. There's a lot of people laying by the well. Amen, but that well won't do you no good. Nick, if you don't drink out of that well, you're thirsty. You ain't got what's in that well. There's a little girl went down from Saqqara one day, and that was her last trip in sin. Hey man, she met the Lamb down there. She met the Lamb down there. She met the Lamb! and she drunk from the well. Brother, there wasn't a bad well she could draw from, but she drunk of Jesus. He gave her that water and she wasn't thirsty no more. She'd been married five times, sacked with one. She finally met the man she needed. Ain't that right? Ain't that right? Me listen tonight. My preacher is being mean to me. Good. Good. I want you mad. I want to stir it up. Hey, man, I want to stir you up tonight. I want to renew your mind. I want to remind you tonight where we come from. Lord, J-Bel, I'll get back to that. Lord, them flocks are laying around, waiting on a drink. Waiting on somebody to come move the rock. Lord, have mercy. There's somebody here tonight to move the rock. We've seen some pray, but not everybody's prayed. I believe there's still somebody here tonight that needs a drink from the well. They need to make a right choice. They need to pray. They need to ask for the right things in their lives. Pray at the bank, give me a favor, go down there and get in debt for five years. I want a new car, please. We all gotta do it. We all have done it. I ain't ready to kill you. What I'm saying is, why not ask God for the good stuff? The free things. The free things. He'll let you move up. Nicky, he'll let you eat from the table. You get tired of milk, he'll feed you meat. Ain't that right? Hey, listen, he's got milk and honey. Amen for dessert. If we just eat to me, he'll cut the sugar tree. And we can shout it out. Ain't that right? I ain't no real second to win, I hope, tonight. He called on the God of Israel, saying, O that Thou wouldst bless me indeed. He desired to be blessed. It's in the book. Charlie didn't write that. No, turn it in right there. He desired to be blessed. He had kings in that lineage. He didn't say, let me be like David. He didn't say, let me be like Solomon. He didn't say, let me be like this and like that and like this. Let me be like Jacob. Let me be Isaac. Let me be like Moses. No! He said, bless me! Somewhere, hey man listen, somewhere you're going to have to ask for yourself. Do you want to be blessed? He ain't going to bless you in the state you're in. He ain't going to bless over sin. He ain't going to start now. He can't even look on sin. We need some mean pastors. I preach like this in my church. And I know I can't hear it, but listen. Listen tonight. We need somebody that loves us enough. A man to hurt us every day. Them sheep went down out by the well and that's all the place they know they couldn't get in. They depend on some man to come and push that stone off that well. There's a man that laid 38 years by the pool of Bethesda. He couldn't get in. but the rock came to him, and the rock moved him. Thank God, if you'll be faithful tonight, God'll bring what you need. For 38 years, he never got what he looked for, and there's always somebody getting in the way. Ain't it about time you get what you need? Ain't that right? Ain't that right? It's about time you get what you need. Walk through the mess. Hey man, God ain't gonna walk through your mess. The shepherd leads ahead of the flock. He ain't walking behind them in a mess. But he's ahead of them, he's trying to lead them. He's trying to lead them in the green pasture. He's trying to lead them beside still water. He's trying to feed them tonight. But we need some people that will follow. I desire to be blessed. Again, it's right here in your book. King James, you think King James will give you mine? You give a little, the devil will take it all. The devil take it all. Ain't that right? You give a little to the devil, he'll take it all. Ain't that right? Make the right choice. Listen tonight, folks. The devil take your family, he'll take your wife, he'll take your husband, he'll take your children, he'll take the one you love the most if you let him in. By time we desire to be blessed. Not only desire, but do what it takes to be blessed. I don't believe in salvation by works, but I believe works by salvation. Somebody say, what are you talking about? I don't go to church to be saved, I go because I am! You couldn't buy salvation if you tried. He ain't looking for rich people to buy it. He wants to give it to all the people that need it. It's a free gift. He'll set you free. He'll make you free. If you're about time you want to be blessed, you got to come get it. Remember, they had the right man. He went up there and moved the rock. Here comes Rebecca. He make that right? Yeah. Come here, come Rebecca, we're leaving. Leaving flock. Come on, brother. Came down here and look out. Hey, look out, Jacob. Old Jacob fell in love. Went over and moved a stone, watered a flock, they put it back. He went down there to Laban's house. Hey man, he desired something, didn't he? And I never seen a beat in my life. We don't have to go to church. And we don't have to go to church. A lot of people's ripped Hebrews 10, 25 clear out of their Bible. He said, I fell in love to a senior. You don't know where it started. You're a tribal star when you get lazy on God. When you're not faithful to God. When you quit praying and you depend on everybody else to do it. Saul went down there to the witch of Endor. He sought somebody else to do his job. He done blew it a long time ago. The sentence had done been passed. Amen. I'm gonna tell you, we're living in a sad world where a lot of people's sentences has already been passed. That's for another time. Dinner and the flocks are laying there. Jeb has looked up there and he's seen all the men. He's more honorable than all of them. That's what the Bible said. David, Jesse, Boaz. The only one, he wasn't better than, that was the line of the tribe of Jesus. Jesus and who he came out of the tribe of Judah He said right there was a promise made to David he said David does not fail man said Guess where Judy is Huh? It's still a mixed up bunch. So Jesus had to come. He'd take that mixed up bunch. Hey listen, they'd backslide and get away. He'd send somebody to get them. Good news is tonight, God sent somebody to get you. You don't have to lay by the well. You can participate in it. You can drink from it. You can eat from it. Hey, listen to me. The only thing holding you back is you. You. Ain't I right? Oh, Lord, have mercy. You might go home tonight, say, and get a thing out of them. Come back tomorrow night, will you? Amen. The Bible said, although thou wilt bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast. He wanted to grow. I didn't write that down, he wanted to grow. Enlarge my coast. He wants God to make him rich, maybe so. But God hurt him is all I know. How many people get saved and never grow? I believe there's people sitting right in the house of God and they're born again. But they're still in the same shape they was 20 years ago. Except that excitement wore off. And now we're coming because that's just what we do. Their well has a cap on it. They ain't drunk so long. They ain't shouted so long. They ain't cried so long. Now, brother, they call it emotion. We didn't find that in the Bible, but he told us we had an option. Then over in Acts, the Holy Ghost come. We got the Holy Ghost. You hear me? We got the Holy Ghost. Somebody said, when'd you get it? 1989. God delivered a package deal down there in Valdez, North Carolina. He delivered the package deal. Thank you, Lord. He delivered a package deal. Came at it, come here to fight about doctrine. My fellow is free to say that. More people's lost, they're still looking for it. Some are, some are, some are. They're still sitting by the well, thirsting to death. Die! Right in the house of God. Can't be penetrated. They're hard-shelled. Everything you preach is for somebody else, man. If you'd been here, you'd got them. Well, Charlie, you preached good today, so-and-so. Been here, you sure got them. And what happened is you raked them, they're trying to rake you that way. Some of you preachers know what I'm saying. I ain't picking on laymen. If it wasn't for the people sitting here tonight, we'd have nobody to preach to this night. So it takes faithfulness to be at the house of God. But shouldn't we desire something when we come? Have you grown to your limit? Ain't nobody busting out scenes tonight. Spiritually speaking. Is that right? We've heard some shouting tonight. Nick, we've heard some shouting tonight, eh? Amen! I ain't seen everybody that's shouted, but my goodness! We ought to enjoy being in the house of God! Ain't anybody clapping? Children on the altar, young babies on the altar. Amen, they're being impregnated. And somebody saw them there. They're in parts of prayer. I don't know if they're even praying, but brother, they know where they're going. Could some of us adults tonight, as religious crowd, amen, fall behind the years? Who did Jesus want around him? Forbid not who? Children. But guess what, honey? You don't have to be five year old to be a child of God. You're children, too. My children, too. You know what stops an old time revival? When you go home tonight, you look in the mirror. You'll find what? Hey, don't look at your neighbor. You go home tonight, look in the mirror. You'll find out what will stop a revival. Because at the end of the day, it's your rematch. It's your rematch. It's your rematch. It's not about the same two or three shouting. I mean, that's fine. They need to shout if they got it. But what I'm talking about, don't put it off on somebody else. Don't you want to grow? Don't you want to be blessed indeed? Don't you want to emerge in the Lord? Praise God. Don't you want to be enlarged? Hey, my nursing people wants to be enlarged tonight. God, I'm tired of sitting here. God, I'm tired of the same old saying, I want to be a hill. I don't want to be a hill. It's going to take prior realizing you don't want to be where that bunch is being. Some people like him, folks, is there that day when Jesus died. People say today, say, well, if I'd been right there, we know you wouldn't. You'd been just like them. Them that he opened their eyes, them that he healed, them powerful angels running down there, and they were scared to death. And my dad's just saying, you don't tell less words than you act. We're preaching the Bible, don't say, oh, but listen, it was announced, it was very announced what they were gonna do to the king of kings. Now, where's all them people he helped? Has God helped you tonight? Be careful now. Where's his, he said, he said, you call me father? Where's my fear? Oh, where's my honor? He said, you call me Lord, but where's the fear? We call him Lord and Savior, where's the fear? He don't bother us. Down there, tell a dirty joke. When we in and around the church and old Charlie can't hear me, well, I got news for you, honey. You'd be better off him hearing it than God hearing it. One thing I've learned is to be honest to me. I've had to be honest in my life. Even as pastoring, even as being a priest. Listen, I've had to be honest. God, it ain't them down there, it's me. I ain't praying hard enough to move that rock. See, this gospel's for everybody. I feel like they're picking on me. Maybe God is picking on you. He cares for you. Listen. He said, listen. I won't grow. What are you saying? I won't grow. Bless me indeed enlarge my coast and that thine hand might be upon me. Ezekiel said the hand of the Lord. upon me, carried me away in the Spirit, set me down in the valley of your high place. You want to experience the power of God, his hand's got to be on you. You can't be a Sunday morning only. You can shout all you want to coming down the road, but if you ain't faithful, it ain't God. You can work your emotions up all you want. It ain't God. I've seen emotions. I've seen the Holy Ghost. Amen. Amen. I've seen fog machines, but I've seen the fog moving. It's too late to tell me, brother. Hey, I know what the real thing is. We don't need a smoke machine and a fog machine, but what we need is the post to move. In the house of God. Ain't that right? We need the pulse to move it. There was something that had to happen. Isaiah said, it was in the year the king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord, how I lifted up. He saw also. There had to be somebody else. Think about this a minute. Uzziah's dead. Uzziah's done a lot for them. But see Uzziah died. He was man. Hey, after God takes all the options away, we open the eyes. You know what old Isaiah did? He opened the eyes. He said, oh Lord, what was my I've been in the house of God, I've seen his glory. And I listen, I want to be enlarged. I want your hand upon me. And that angel took the tongue, went over and got the hot coal, put it in our lady on his lap. Then guess what? And I saw, he said, I saw the poster, that poster. And the smoke filled, and the cloud came in. Thank God we can still see it tonight. Maybe it's in your marriage. Maybe it's in this and that. Don't only limit the church. Listen, if your marriage ain't what it used to be, somebody fell out of love. And it ain't God. He's still in love with us. For God so loved. For God so put emphasis on it. He so loved the world. How can we say it and not want? I'm trying to be done. How can we say it and not want? How can we sit and not desire? These sisters shouting, Lord have mercy. Sisters, you might say, well, I'm shy, but how can you not want? I can't preach like Charlie. I see stuff in Charlie I want. I see stuff in Gordon Larson that I desire. I'm ashamed to tell people I've been preaching 34 years. When all these other men get up and I'm thinking, I missed it, I missed it, I missed it. But you know what God said, you still earned it. You still earned it. You've got the desire to grow. Ain't no one got it all figured out. If everybody was the same, we'd go to one church. You wouldn't have 10 on the corner. They can't even get along here and they're going to heaven. I don't know about that. Somebody can't go. I'd go to them if they don't preach the doctrine I like. Well, listen, you ain't gonna always hear what you want to hear. Some of us carry camels in our pocket. Strain that and that. Got the camel in our pocket, ready to slaughter it just to prove somebody else wrong. Care less what's over your door. Hey, if the Holy Ghost bear witness, I'll take it. Take it! In all these years, some of you know what I'm talking about. I preached to Pentecostals, I preached to Methodists, I preached to Presbyterians. I've been, I listened where I thought the enemy territory was. And I felt somebody die at the enemy territory, He was there the whole time. It turns out you don't have to be a hoe in the freewheel bag to get along. You just got to be born again. Hey, I wouldn't let you steal his stuff like that and get in our way. Come on down just a little bit and I'm about done. I don't want to dig up what the Lord's put out. He said that thy hand might be with me and thou wilt keep me from evil. We're in a sad, sad time. The church is running to the world, says the world, run to the church. Church is trying to look more like the world. They say they lost people to come in, but actually what it is, they come there and the Holy Ghost don't bother them, so they're comfortable. That's exactly what it is now, it can't be nothing else. Amen. I'm going to go down here where there's a bigger youth program. I didn't see no Iwanos in here, but I saw an altar with youngins on it. Somebody had to be praying in front of it. Nature itself talked to us about imprinting. How you think a mommy eagle gets his eagles to know that they're eagles? She'll get down in her face. Oh, look here, look here. How do you know? How do you think Moses knew? He didn't blow down in Egypt. He was raised by his mama. She said, you ain't no Egyptian, boy. You're a Hebrew. You go far down here. We need somebody, we need somebody, thank God we need somebody to tell people they don't belong in this world. Well, you know about J.B., it's not a whole lot, but I know God heard him. Leah was an ugly woman, I guess, I don't know. But she had the first four sons of Jacob, bless God. before they started fussing back and forth, and God closed their wings, but no wonder the tribes were messed up. They got their hand babies having their sons because they're so ill to one another. Am I right or not? In Revelations, Ephraim didn't make it, didn't he? Unless I read in the wrong book. I don't think I did. This is King James. I don't want no swap. I don't want a little bit of change. You're too old fashioned down there. Really, really too old fashioned. Too old fashioned. Abraham prayed. Moses went up on the mount and talked to God. Prior. In the garden, God makes the first sacrifice. Clothes them with animal skins. So he's now having to destroy what he's created because what he created destroyed what he gave them. Ain't that right? He took the blood then and all up to Malachi. Took the blood of bulls and goats and oaks and doves and all this old stuff. Could you imagine if this world lived by those standards today? Every one of us would be going to hell. Because the law, it condemns you. It kills. But guess who makes a lot of money? Grace of mercy kind. Don't you want? to get above where you're at. God's gonna do things in your life to get you where he needs you. Sometime Jonah, you don't have to be swallowed by that whale. But if you ain't careful, there's something gonna come and engulf you. And God's gonna get your prayer. If you're lost tonight, everything's good at your house, right? If you're here tonight and you're lost, I ain't gonna ask you to raise your hand that everything's good at your house. You can change. Not because I said so, but because I've read it in the book. Oh, if you consider my servant Job. Ain't nothing like him. Ain't nothing like him. Say something, we'll just drop that hedge, we'll see. But God already knew his heart. We ain't none of us faced what he did. Yet he retained God. He did not charge him fools. He told his wife, matter of fact. Yeah. Who's big to focus on? Yeah, that's right. Waltz woman. Yeah. Huh? Somebody come and pee in a wee. I appreciate it. I'm going to make out an outer cow tonight. Bless you, George. At the very best I can. The Lord let me do it. That's good, George. Don't you want to be enlarged? Do you want to be enlarged? Do you want to be protected from this present evil? We're in a fight. I got all kinds of energy. You're in a spiritual fight. This thing ain't in flesh and blood.
