But I'm saying today, man, I am so thankful to be here. I'll tell you what, I just assumed this and that a little bit longer. I can imagine those leopards running through that. Amen, don't you know that's, hey, that stirred him up, didn't it? I guarantee it stirred him up. Man, the high priest and all the rest of them wonder what's going on, amen. I remember the day, hey, it's been many times, but I remember the day I got saved. Man, it was wonderful. But there's been a lot of days that I've gotten away from the Lord, and there's been times when my whole heart got discouraged, and I felt that dirt and sin, and I went to the old altar to pray, The blood of Jesus cleansed me. Amen. It just feels good. It just feels good to pray. It just feels good to shout. It just feels good to be in the house of God. It just feels good all over again. Amen. Amen. Hey, I just want to tell you I know who God is. I preach this here. I just, I don't know. I probably shouldn't, but I just, I like this amen. But I preached on this. I know who God is. I'm going to change the title. I still know who God is. Amen. He's the same yesterday, he's the same forever. You remember the Bible said when Jesus came into Jerusalem, everybody looked around and said, who is this? Amen. Hey, I'm still, I'm gonna tell you again, he's the creation's blesser, amen. He blessed the stars in the sky. He created the heavens and the earth. What a blessing to look about what God has done. I got up this morning and looked out the window and the sun is shining bright and I said, oh it's a pretty day, amen. Only God can make a day like that. Only God can make a day like that. Look at what he's done for us, amen. Oh, thank God, he's the creator. I worship him today, amen. I'll tell you what, he was the Christ, baby. Oh, he see me and said, I'm not gonna die until the Lord lets me see him. And when he saw him, he said, that's him right there. That's the one I've been looking for, amen. I'm thankful today that he was born. He was born virgin, amen. He was born supernaturally. That's not all. He was Calvary's boy. He ascended the doctors and the lawyers. They said, who are you? He said, well, I'm a mama's side. Hey, listen, I'm just a lonely little boy here, amen. I'm just 12-year-old. But on my father's side, Well, how old are you? Anyway, well, you see, on my mama's side, I'm 12 years old. Amen. But on my father's side, I'm the everlasting Father. In the beginning and the end, amen. I thank God for this. Not only that, but he's the church builder, amen. Jesus said on this rock, I'll build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against him. I'm glad I'm part of the blood-bought church. I'm glad I've been purchased by the blood, cleansed by the blood. He built the church, thank God. When he comes back, he's calling the church, amen. I like this one, he's the chain breaker. You remember those times you had chains on you? And I remember where you went, you ran, and there's no chains there. A ball and chain, you broke down, they left. I don't see them hung up there. They was on the road to hell. You had no hope of getting there. He broke those chains! He put that ass down on the way! He's on the loose! He's shot! He's shot! Let me drink! That's why we ought to praise Him. That's why we ought to just give Him honor and glory. You ask me why I'm happy? I'll tell you why. My sins are gone. Amen. They're underneath the blood of the cross of Calvary. It's gone. It's from darkness. It's from God. Amen. G-O-N-E. Gone. Amen. He's the chain breaker, but that ain't all. He's the crowd breaker. The Bible says over in Mark chapter number two. Now, y'all, hey, I preached this before. He's still the crowd bringer, isn't he? The Bible said it was no Easter broad, that he was in the house. I'm going to tell you what would be good. Not that Brother Charlie's in the house. But it would be brand new for us if we could hear him say around this community, Jesus is there! Jesus is there! Jesus is there! He's a-moving! He's a-blessing! They're shouting! They're weeping! They're crying! They're getting blessed! And they're singing songs about thank you! It got so good that the time is preaching debris started falling in like snow Amen. Insulation that kind of itches you, amen. And they began to look down. And the Pharisees out there saying, well, I'll declare. You'd think people would have more respect than to have something like that. About that time, they were Italian. And they're coming down, speaking down a fellow in the bed, amen. He couldn't move. He couldn't budge. And about that time, he hit the ground. And the Lord looked at him, and there was eight sets of eyes looking over down there. And Jesus touched that old boy and raised him up. And the Bible says, we ain't never seen it in this country. I tell you, Jesus was in the house. We heard it this morning. He's the cross bearer. The Bible said he endured the cross. I hear this and it was so well preached this morning. And I thank God that he went to Calvary. I thank God that he carried my sins. I thank God that he forgave me. I thank God that he washed my sins away. He wrote my name in the last book of life. He made me one of his own. You're looking at a child of the King. Amen. Shake hands with the poor boy. He's a cross bearer. That's not all. He's a cane buster. Amen. Brother... Cane buster! On the third day, he got him. And I got there a little bit early and man is a big old family and And they were all gathered as a graveside thing. And it was right next to the graveyard. And I remember listening to Dr. Rotman teach. And he was talking something like this. And God brought that to my mind. And I kind of followed his steps. I stepped out there. I looked at all those tombs and all those tombstones. And I thought what he had said, bless my heart, many times, he said, talking to those old braves, there are a lot of them out there you ain't gonna keep down. Hey, there are a lot of them out there you just ain't gonna get forever, amen. There's gonna come a glorious morning, amen. When Jesus comes back, the Bible says that dead in Christ shall rise first. Oh, what a day that's gonna be. One of these glorious mornings I'm gonna look over yonder Highland Cemetery and I'll see dead rising up, I say. And then we'll see y'all on the other side. I'll see her upwards. I'll see Brother Lemons. I'll see Miss Carol. And others in my church that I've pastored. I'll look over yonder with a smile on their face and a brand new body. We're going to have a baby. Why? Because he lives. And that brings me to this. He's the cloud breaker. Ain't gonna hold him down. Amen. That ain't what I had planned. But I tell you, I thank God for it. I tell you, I just can't get over that thought that runs through my mind. As they sang that song, I was one of those lepers. Amen. I looked down, I looked down, my hands was clean. Amen. I looked at my face and it was all clean. The Bible says if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. Only God can do that. Only Jesus can do that. Oh, I love him this morning. I know, I know we're at the last days. I know our feet get heavy. I know our hearts grow weary. I know that the journey gets hard. Oh, but children, we're not home yet. Amen. Let's just keep on going and keep on praising and keep on looking to the Lord. The Bible says, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our The Bible says, looking for that blessed hope of the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Even so come, Lord Jesus. God bless us today in Jesus' name. Amen.
