Troubles and trials. These things that seemingly devastate our lives. Worrying up emotions. Have days. You don't know what to do. You just cry, whatever. Can I tell you, that's okay. That's okay. Amen doesn't mean you're weak, doesn't mean you don't trust God. What that means is you're human. Is everybody okay? You're human. Amen, and you're gonna have struggles, and you're gonna have trials, and you're gonna have things that'll come your way, and answers you ain't gonna know. Is everybody all right? You won't know the answer, you won't be able to figure it out, amen? You'll question why, amen, not necessarily questioning God's authority or His wisdom, but you just wonder why. And he prayed so hard it didn't go away. Is everybody all right? And in those times, amen, when you just feel like falling apart, how can I say that's okay? And in those times, he's still God. He is still God. I'd rather go through it with him. Is everybody all right? In the center of his wheel, is everybody okay? I couldn't imagine going through something like that out of his wheel. And then you have to wonder, is everybody all right? I say, then you have to wonder, but boy, just trust him, keep walking with him, amen? Amen, every day, every day. And I say this, I say this, amen, there's things you'll never forget. And you might not, and I don't know why I'm going there, and you might not never ever get over it. But every day, brother Kevin, what I have learned. It doesn't necessarily go away and I don't get over it, but it gets a little bit better. And a little bit better, and a little bit better, amen? And it's okay to remember, it's okay, amen, to hurt, amen, but don't forget God, amen? And just trust Him, hold on to Him. Amen. Why? Because He's a good God. Amen. Can I tell you He's a good God. He's never left me. He's never forsaken me. Those things happened around me all my life. Amen. Since I've been saved, born again, washed in the blood. Amen. I don't have all the answers and I don't understand. Amen. I'll be telling you a lie if I said I understood everything. Amen. That's went on and understood why people done what they've done and why this happened to that family or this happened to that family. But I don't have all the answers. I just know the answer to all the problems. His name is Jesus. And no matter what it is, He'll hold your hand all the way through it. He'll bring you through it. I'm telling you, He'll bring you to it. He'll bring you to it. to his unchanging hands. I'm coming through his everlasting arms. I'll reach down and pick you up, and I'll carry you. I say, you'll find the glory of God. Amen. When you take care of yourself, ain't you glad we got a God that'll carry you? Amen. That's good. He's never failed me. All those big times I failed him. Those big times I failed him. Those big times I failed my family. Come on, man. Y'all say it. You better start saying it. I'm gonna come and I'm gonna get right up in your lap. Y'all know good and well you have failed your family. You ain't Superman. I tell you, we're just flesh and blood. Ain't it? We've all made mistakes. Ain't it? Somewhere along the way. Ain't you glad we serve a forgiving God? Ain't you glad we serve a God? Ain't it? That'll still love us. I tell you, I've had folks walk away from me, but God ain't never walked away from me. That's right. Not since December the 17th, 1989. but I got acquainted with Him. Is everybody all right? Over there, when the Holy Ghost come back and introduced me to my Father. I tell you, the Savior came by that night and He changed my life forever. He changed my destination. He changed my eternity. He changed me on the inside. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Glory to God. I tell you what, He's a good God. Amen. And I study and read. And I don't know if we've been here long, it's real simple today. It's real simple. I found out God knows more than I do. Amen, that's right. I'm gonna tell you right now, love. My church, gotta love the church. The church of the living, I love it, amen? I love everything about the church. Hey, I'm telling you, I love how God designed the church. I love how the word of God explains the church and how God set up the church. I mean, Lord, I gotta, hey, when I come to the church, I got saved in the church. Is everybody alright? Jesus came down sitting on a church pew, lost, amen. I didn't just thought I was going to make fun of church, but when God came to where I was at that night, in the church, he saved me. In the church, in the altar, that was in the church. Is everybody alright? Hey, I know I met my wife in the church. Is everybody okay? Is everybody alright? Amen, that's right, I swear my wife and I met was in the church. Amen, I didn't run down to the bar and find one. Is everybody okay? I was the same kind of guy, amen? Hey, me and my wife got married in the church. Is everybody alright? They're not okay with me getting married at the horse stable. No man, we didn't get married jumping out of an airplane. No man, we got married in the church. Hey, did God call me to preach in the church? Hey man, I stood up and confessed my calling to preach in the church. Hey man, I preached the first time I ever preached was in a church. Is everybody all right? Boy, I've preached some other places since then. I've preached on the street. I've preached at houses, amen, in backyards, everybody alright? I've got dedicated houses, but I'll tell you right now, the best place I know to go, amen, whenever I'm struggling in life, is to throw everything at it that you can, is just go to church. Let church be a part of your lives, Lord God. I mean, incorporate church into your life. Don't ever miss church. Don't ever walk away. You'll be blessed if you got your Bible second Chronicles. Amen. I got it. I tell you, I spent some troubles and some trials. I ain't got no complaints. Everybody okay? God's been too good to us. I said, God's been too good to us. When I said that, everyone of you should have jumped up and said, amen, preacher. Because if you're here, you're able to be here. Amen. I tell you, God's been good to you. That's right. Preacher, you don't know my past. Amen. You don't know mine either. Everybody's got one, ain't that right? Amen. But I'm going to tell you right now, December the 17th, 1989, guess what? God forgot my past. Amen. Ain't that good? He said he'd never bring it up, he'd forget it. He can't even remember it. That was the day the old man died and I was born again. Amen. He'd give me a brand new life. Everybody's testifying a little bit, is that all right? Hey, folks don't like to testify no more. I wonder why that is. I wonder why you used to jump to your feet and testify about the goodness of God, and now you can't. Or you don't. Is everybody alright? I wonder why you used to raise your hand, and tears would trickle down your face, and you'd shout, Amen, Hallelujah, when they were singing, and now you don't. Or you can't. Everybody okay? Something's wrong. Something's wrong. It ain't God. God don't change. He's the same yesterday and today. Amen. I mean, you used to throw both hands up. Hey, somebody used to shout and now you don't. Or you can't. I don't know. You weigh it down in your life. I'm just telling you, God's the same. Same God we got in on. Same God we're going to hold on to. I'm not changing my doctrine. I'm not changing my belief. I'm not changing my preaching. I'm not changing my denomination. I'm not changing my power. Hey, you hear me? I'm not changing one thing about what God got me in on. I ain't trying to go finish. I just want to be a little bit closer to Him. Is everybody all right? I don't want to hear the devil come in and steal nothing that God's giving me. Amen, I'll tell you what. I've been downstairs. I've been to the wall. I've been to the theater. I said, devil, you ain't welcome. Devil, you got to go. I think I've got my mind on the Lord, devil, and I'm going to be ashamed on the outside. I'm trying to put things in my life. I'm trying to change who I am. I'm trying to bring me down. He's robbing them of their happiness. That's right. They're destroying their families. Is everybody okay? Amen. They're trying to blame everybody else and I'll be blaming the devil. Amen. That's right. He's real. Amen. He's wicked, ungodly. Amen. What's your name? My name is Legion because we're men. And it was filled with unclean spirits. Everybody okay? I said he was filled with unclean spirit. Bad attitude. Right. Maybe filthy mouth spirit. Right. Everybody all right? Nasty, nasty, nasty mind spirit. Right. Amen. Anger spirit. Right. Fighting spirit, drinking spirit, cussing spirit. I mean just filled with unclean spirits. Right. Amen. That's right. Amen. Amen. One trip to Jesus. Yep. Amen. Guess where they found him? The town come out. That's the old grower. That's the drunk. That's the one nobody can stand. That's the one nobody likes. That's the one that's dangerous to get around. That's the one that's filthy and vulgar. Guess where they found him? The Bible said at the feet of Jesus, clothed in his right hand. Amen. Yes. Something y'all just ain't got in your right mind yet. If you don't get it in your right mind, you won't worry about that world out there. Amen. Amen. You just get up close to the feet of Jesus as you can and worship Him and let Him help you in your life. Amen. Amen. Just cause you've already saved again don't mean you don't need to get closer to the Lord. Right. Just cause you're going to heaven don't mean you ain't got room to improve your relationship with God. Right. Amen. Amen. 2 Chronicles chapter number 32. I was reading this, and something the Lord began to deal with me about. It's just gonna be the Lord, amen, today. Ain't got no ropes. Got a little chalkboard I might have to use, probably. Gotta show y'all something that's deep. Hope I can draw it out and let the Lord show it to me. If I can, it'll grab your mind. It'll blow your mind. Is everybody all right? Pretty deep. We're dealing with Hezekiah here and his kingdom. And God's a blessing this man. In chapter number 31, the last two verses I'll read you right quick. And thus did Hezekiah throw out all Judah and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God. Somebody shout right now. Amen. Did y'all get that? He wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God. Listen to this. And in every work that he began, in the service of the house of God. Ain't that something? Talk about the church. Amen. Y'all get involved with the church. You ought to get into service at the church. Is everybody okay? It's good to come to church. It's better to get in church. It's good to come, but it's better to get involved. Is everybody okay? It's good, it's good. It's good to listen to the choir. It's better to sing with the choir. Is everybody all right? Amen, that's right. It's good to listen to folks shout amen. It's better to say amen. Listen to this. and every work that he began in the service of the house of God and in the law and in the commandments. It's good, it's good to read your word, but it's better, amen, to live the word. Everybody okay? If you want the blessings of God poured out on you, don't just read your Bible, live your Bible. Let your Bible change you. Let your Bible become your conscience. Is everybody all right? I mean, just think about it before you act what the Bible says. Well, I wonder what the Bible says about that. Well, I wonder what the scripture has to say about that. Well, I wonder what God's word would tell me to do in this circumstance. Everybody okay? Come on now. It's good to read it. It's real good to know it. It's better to live it. Amen? That's right. To seek his God. Let's just read verse 21 again. And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God and in the law and in the commandments to seek his God. He did it with all his heart. When was the last time all your heart was in it? Come on, man. If you're sitting here right now thinking about something going on out there in this world, amen, you're a million miles away from what God has in store. Amen. We need to serve him with all our heart. We need to take on to do what he wants with all our heart. And this is what Hezekiah did, and listen to what it said, and prosper. Amen. You want your service for the Lord to prosper? Do it with all your heart. Amen. You want God to bless your life? Serve Him with all your heart. Amen. Amen. Don't just let your lips draw near unto it. Amen. There's a sinful generation. Amen. They draw near unto God, nigh unto God with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him. Amen. But we're living in a time, amen, where people have a form and a fashion of goodness, but they deny the power. Amen. Ain't that right? Oh yeah, that's right, Preacher, it goes right there. I'm witnessing it, you're witnessing it, and then I begin to look at this, chapter number 32. Got a good bit of reading to do. After these things, verse number one, after these things and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib, king of Assyria. Boy, there's a proud people right there. Everybody all right? Sennacherib, what a name, amen? He's the king. Everybody all right? He's a proud individual. He's successful. I mean, nobody tells him what to do. Is everybody okay? Nobody, nobody bothers him. And he goes down through all these nations and all these people, conquering them. He brings his army with him, amen? And he's got his buddy, Rip Shackle. Does everybody all ask his name, amen? Snack Rip, Rip Shackle. That little pet. Is everybody all right? Amen goes right there. Hey, Sennacherib the king and Rebshaka his running mate. All right. Amen. Amen. I didn't see that. That's good. That's good preaching right there. Right. Anyway, he come down, amen, to Judah, to Hezekiah, and he encamped his army around him. First time Hezekiah gave him what he wanted, and then the second time Hezekiah went to the Lord. This sack of time, Shemakariah, he won't send down a rich sack of time. Is everybody alright? He thought he had that battle won. And so, go down to verse number 7. Hezekiah begins to talk to his people. He said, Be strong and courageous. Be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria Therefore all the multitude that is with him, for there be more with us than with him. Somebody shout right there. Amen. I say somebody shout right there. It ain't even really about the numbers. There's more with us simply because God is on our side. Is everybody okay? There's more with us, Brother Darrell, because God and the host of heaven is on our side. Amen. That's right. This world, amen, don't let this world trouble you. Don't let this world frighten you. Don't let this world scare you and cause you to back down from God and serve Him. Listen to this. He said there's more with us than there are with them. Verse number eight. With Him is an arm of flesh. But with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles. And the people rescued themselves upon the words of Hezekiah, king of Judah. After this did Shennacherib, king of Assyria, send his servants to Jerusalem. But he himself laid siege against Lachish and all his power with him under Hezekiah, king of Judah. Now to all Judah that were at Jerusalem saying, Thus saith Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, whereunto ye trust that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria? Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places, and his altars, and commanding Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it. Know ye not what I and my fathers have done, listen to this, unto all the people of other lands, where the gods of the nations of those lands, were the gods of those nations of those lands any ways able, to deliver their lands out of my hand? Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my father's utterly destroyed that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand? Now, therefore, let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this matter, neither yet believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand and out of the hand of my father's, how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand? And his servants spake yet more against the Lord God and against his servant Hezekiah. He wrote also letters to Raul, the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand. And you read on, and on, and on, and what he's doing, amen, Areb Shaka, Sennacherib, amen, what they're doing is they're comparing all the other gods against our God. And there's a big difference. between all the other gods and our God. I mean, you can see it in the scripture, there's a difference. I mean, there's such a difference in our God and their gods. First of all, you'll never find an S on the end of our God. When you put an S, that's plural. He said there were other gods. But there's only one God. You'll never find an ass on the end of our God and his name unless it's in possession of something. Like I am God's. That means He possesses me. He's only one, but He possesses. That's the only time you'll find an ass. Those hills belong, they are God's hills. Somebody say amen. That's God's army. Somebody say amen. That means God possesses them. It belongs to Him. And you'll never find an ass on the end of our God, meaning more than one, but on all the other gods. They'll have to put an S on their name when they're talking about them, because everybody's got one. Every nation's got one. And I thought about the difference they be in, in their gods and our gods. And boy, there's a big, big difference in their gods and our gods. I hope I can bring this out, because this is deep. And as I begin to look at the scripture, I begin to realize something about their gods, that they, Ripshack and Shanacharia, went and they conquered. And I hope y'all can see the difference in their God, in our God. And maybe you can see it from there. This is their God. And that big G God, that big G God right there, that's my God. Maybe their God's a little G God. Their God's insignificant. Their God, listen to this, listen to this. The ones they did, the officers, they had to go out into the forest and the trees, and they had to cut down a tree, and they had to bring it in, and they had to sand it down and plane it. They had to carve it, and they had to make their God. They had to make their God out of the face of the earth. And my God made the earth. There's a difference in their God. in my God. See, their God has no breath. Their God does not breathe. Their God has no breath of life in Him, but my God is the giver of life. See, their God can make nothing and create nothing, but yet my God knelt down on the earth that He made, that He spoke into existence, that He created, and He created, and He formed man out of the dust of the earth. And their God has no breath in Him, but my God breathed the breath of life into man's nostrils and made the candle in Himself. There's the difference between their little G-God and my big G-God. I mean, what their God can't do, my God can do. Let me tell you what their God can do. Their God can do absolutely nothing. Their God sits on a shelf. If my God has no power, He can do absolutely nothing. But my God, there's nothing He can't do. Y'all listen there. I'm preaching for y'all to listen. I'm preaching for y'all. I'm telling you, my God is the only God. He's the true and only God. Maybe there's not another one like Him. That's why I'll never be an ass on the end of His name. But there will be a God. has to be carried if he's going to go anywhere. That little G God has to be born of somebody. Is everybody all right? He becomes a burden to them. But my God except cast all your burdens on me. And He'll carry. Is everybody all right? Amen. And when I can't go any farther, when I've got my phone and I just can't make it anymore, amen, I'm glad I don't have to carry my God, but He will carry me. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Their God, the only way to start a fire is if you catch Him on fire. You set Him on fire. The difference, the difference, amen, that is, amen, they have to set their God on fire. My God will start a fire in you, sir. My God will start a fire in you, ma'am, that'll burn, it'll burn for eternity, and that'll burn you up! Hallelujah. Let God start a fire in you. Ask God to build a fire in your being, in your body. Amen, that you might burn for Him and burn for His Word and burn for His soul and His Spirit. Amen. Let God set up a fire in your heart. When was the last time you burned for God? When was the last time you burned for the Word of God? When was the last time you burned, amen, for the house of God? Come on now, when was the last time you burned to see somebody saved? Is everybody alright? There's a difference between what this world's saying out there. Can I tell you today, every other religion out there, I don't care who it is, I don't care if your family's involved in it, that names any other deity other than Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior is a false religion and they're down and going to hell. Sorry. Amen, that's right. I'm telling you they're on their way. They're false. False religions. Maybe my God's not false. Amen. Their God can do nothing. Let me tell you what my God did. My God hung the stars. Amen. That's right. Their God can't even turn on the light switch and my God speaks light. He said let there be light. Is everybody all right? Is everybody okay? Amen. And God went down through a Sennacherib's army and he killed all their maiming. He killed all their princes. He robbed them homes. Everybody outraged him. Amen. He didn't need no help. He didn't need nobody. Amen. My God don't need us. We need Him. Amen. That's right. There's a big difference between my God and their gods. Is everybody alright? You can take all their gods and you can bring them all together from every corner of this world and you can stack them up right down here in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Amen. And I don't know how high they'd get. I don't know how many they'd be. You could grab every wooden card of God out of every household, hang them across the planet. And you could stack them up, stack them high. Amen. They'd be big. They'd be wide. They'd be tall. And they still wouldn't be as big as my God. And still wouldn't be as big as my God. All my God's got to do is just look down from below. Maybe that scatters everybody out there. And yet my God is so big, amen, that they could not be as big as Him, but He's small enough for the living of my heart and the living of my soul and the living of my soul on the planet if I just accept His Son as my Savior. Hallelujah! Amen. That's what my God can do. Amen. Amen. Amen. Their gods have to depend on the people. Amen. Be transported. Is everybody all right? Be created. Ain't you glad we serve the creator? Amen. That's right. I wonder, I wonder, amen, how they explain it. My God ain't never told me to run my children through the fire. and be burned up. My God's run a fire through him. There's a difference. There's a difference. Got a whole fire for him. Everybody okay? Amen. Just a big G God of the King James Bible. Just a big G God of the King James Bible. Not the little G gods. Amen? That's right. Matter of fact, matter of fact, The Ark of the Covenant, which represented the presence of God in the Old Testament. Is everybody all right? When the Philistines captured it, is everybody okay? And they put it in their temple when they got their God, their little G-God. Is everybody okay? Our big God, which is created heaven and earth, amen, and is bigger than anything you can imagine, amen. That ark of the covenant represented him coming down and getting in it, amen, and being with me. That was the presence of God in the Old Testament. When they sent him up in there with Dagon, he slapped Dagon down. Slapped him down, they come down, next one's like, whoo, Argon's falling, what's happening, let's prop him up. Let's prop him up, we got to prop up our guy, we got to fix our guy, we got to prop him up, we set it back up on his pedestal. Next to my God. Next morning they come out, his head was chopped off and the palms of his hands. And wasn't nothing left behind but his stuff. I like that. I like that. And in that year they messed up and made my God lame. They made my God lame. And then they made the gods of the Hebrews lame. My God. The great big God Jehovah, they made him mad. And what he done, after he slapped Gagon down and cut his head off, he smacked him with emeralds. In the prime, preach about it. Amen. I didn't do nothing. Everybody okay? Is everybody all right? Amen. I'm sitting in a blister, swallowed up on them, amen. They said, oh, we got to move. We got to get rid of this guy. We got to get rid of this country that God's in. And we got to send him away out of here, because he's killing us. Yep. Amen. Right. Try to read your Bible. It's in there. Amen. Amen. So they packed him up, put him on a cart with an ox. And they never had a burden. And they sent him away. They said, oh, dear God, they want to pray in the day, God. Right. Amen. Lord. Please take away these immorals because they're killing us! Is everybody alright? Oh yeah. Boy, that's what my God will do. Amen. My God doesn't need an army. He's an army of one. That's right. The biggest army this world's ever seen. Oh yeah, he's defeated more armies. He's defeated more demons. That demon of alcohol. Somebody say you need AA meeting, you know they need to get saved. If they'll get saved, they'll quit drinking liquor. How you nerve? Me? Proof of it. Never stopped and bought another 12 pack of beer. Never drank another bitch drink. December the 17th, 1989. Let me tell y'all something. I was born. to James and Ella Puckett on December the 17th, 1966. That's my birthday. They was begging me and pestering me to come to church. And my niece and me watched a Christmas play. And I said, I'll go as long as ain't nobody gonna be hollering, spitting and slobbering. Ain't no sense in all that. Is everybody all right? Ain't no sense in a man getting up there acting like that. Why in the world you got to act like that? Get up there hollering. Call yourself preaching. Ain't no sense in acting like that. Well that night, December the 17th, 1989, I had a big plan, John. I was going there, I was gonna eat my butts. I was gonna go there, pacify them, and I was gonna go celebrate my birthday my way. Boy, the Holy Ghost of God came by. I said the Holy Ghost of God came by. I was a barroom brawler, I was a pool hall man. I mean, I loved hustling pool. And I love fighting, I mean it's just in me, I tell you, it's just in me. And I'm fighting to drop my hat, I throw my hat in. Well, the Holy Ghost of God came by. Although I tried to resist, he is stronger than me. I pulled. That pull was something, I mean, I couldn't get rid of it, I couldn't pull away from it. But then he got a hold of me, started drawing me down to the altar. And he let me realize I was rotten, I always thought I was pretty cool, amen? But I realized that night I wasn't cool, I was just rotten to the core. Amen, I deserved hell, amen, I was going to hell and I deserved it, but I didn't wanna go. But then he said, you ain't got to, you are rotten, you do deserve it, and you're going but you ain't got to. And I'll put my tears and cry out on Jesus. And he saved me. And he changed me for eternity. Amen. Amen. Amen. Yes. Amen. Can I throw this out there? From that time forward, never miss church unless I'm deathly sick. Amen. Is everybody all right? Amen. Everybody okay? We're on vacation from Monday to Friday. Still do. Well, let me rephrase that. My wife said we could stay just one more night. So now we go from Monday to Saturday. Is everybody okay? Is everybody okay? Yeah, that's what I do. I'm gonna tell you, it's worked for me. He kept me right where he wants me. Is everybody okay? Amen. I ain't let nothing come between me and God. Is everybody all right? He changed me. Why? Because I quit serving that man. And that one right there, I got a hold of him. Amen to only one. And I gave him a life. Amen. Somebody said he'll take this, he'll take that. I'm telling you right now, the only thing he'll take from you, amen, is what you don't need. Amen. He'll give you more than you ever bargained for. He done it for me. He changed my attitude. He changed my mouth. Changed my temper. He took that old hot-headed temper out. That's what it took from me. Amen. That filthy mouth, that cusser. That's what that big G-God do. He'll just reach down in there and just take that cusser out. He'll season your speech with salt. Is everybody alright? Is everybody okay? Come on now. I'm just talking about that big G-God right there. See, there's a difference between that big G-God and that little G-God. All these people tell you they got saved and they can't stay out of the ballroom and nothing changed. It's because they met little G-God. He got no power. He got no power to keep nobody. He got no power to save nobody. Whenever they meet that big G-God right there, everybody in the bathroom will change. That's right. You better believe it. Amen. Hallelujah goes out to them. They'll quit running around with the things of the world. They'll start wanting to run around with the things of God. Amen. They'll quit running around with that worldly crowd. Amen. They'll get involved at the house of God and get around that godly crowd. Is everybody all right? Amen. We're not perfect. Somebody say amen. I said we're not perfect. Amen. I ain't preaching perfection. Amen. But we serve a perfect God. Amen. We serve a God that's able to keep us, able to take care of us, Whatever you stand in need of, you don't need a big bass boat, sir. What you need, amen, is transportation back and forth to work to take care of your family. Amen. Amen. Amen. If you get a bass boat, you'll miss church on Sunday to try it out. Right. Yeah. Go fishing. Is everybody OK? Yeah. Hey. Everybody all right? Amen. Come on now. Come on. Don't need to do hunting right. I just love to hunt. Come on. Hunting so much. Amen. Back in the day, my brother owns land down in South Georgia. My oldest brother. Hunt season program, we went hunting. If I had a job, they wouldn't let me off. Me and my brother, boy, we was tight. We was close. Amen, we'd get drunk, we'd drink all night, we'd hunt all day, all morning. That's just what we done. He said the 17th, 1989. All the girls come by. Amen. I ain't against hunting. I'm just against hunting on Sunday. Amen. I ain't against fishing. I'm against fishing on Sunday. Amen. I ain't against boating. I'm against boating on Sunday. Amen. I ain't against motorcycling. I'm just against motorcycling on Sunday. Amen. Ain't that right? Amen. Amen. But since that day, Troy. Amen. I ain't never been back down there to the woods and hunting. And then they were about gone, gone business. My family didn't understand because I didn't run to the things that I used to run to. I didn't want to do those things. And then I wouldn't go in with my brother's wife because they drank and drunk. And then you know what they'll do? They'll sit right on the table in front of me. And you know what'll happen? Ricky Earp will come by and he'll see it and he'll take a picture of it and put it on his Facebook. I told you that brother Tracy was drinking alone, man. Come on. Everybody okay? Come on. That's exactly how the devil would do it. Yep, you're right. Now he probably wouldn't, amen. But ain't no telling how many of you would. Come on. Just waiting for a minute to catch brother Eric sitting at the table. Somewhere in a beer bottle in front of him. Come on. Oh yeah, get a picture of that and put it out there on social media. All that has to scream, hash browns. All that other junk. I know it, I'm the last preacher in the world that preaches against Facebook and social media. It's all out of hell. Is everybody okay? It's all wicked and ungodly. You can't tell me, man, when somebody's been married in church, I can take this show to your families right now. Married in church, raising their children in church, And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, their husband gets a friend request from their high school sweetheart. God help us. Oh, and the neighbor guy just hooked back up. We just need to hook back up. God help us. Oh yeah, I can take you to churches right now. That's going through there. And then the wife, the mama is there with the kid's heart broken. And the boy, and the daddy, that hooked up with his high school sweetheart down in Florida somewhere. And he busted the family apart, six months after she's two years old. And both of them are currently crawling back, begging for forgiveness. Come on. Yep. Everybody all right? Yep. Oh, I've seen you time and time again. Amen. Amen. If you got all that, your wife ain't got your password, you're trying to hide. Amen. Amen. Those right there. Vice versa, ladies. Right. Vice versa. I don't care if Buff was your high school honey. Come on. Amen. Buff ain't that tough anymore. Trust me, he's drinking. He's got a beer belly now. Amen. He ain't the boy you thought he was in high school. Come on. Amen, you don't need to be talking to him either. Amen, if you got all that and your husband ain't got your password, you trying to hide something. Is everybody okay? That's right. Amen, my wife won't see my phone, I just hand it to her. Amen, ain't got all that garbage on her, she's got my password. Is everybody okay? Amen, how you can have it, it's 121789. Wouldn't have took a rocket scientist to figure that out. My wife is my church secretary. Why is that, brother Tracy? Because I like living. Amen. Amen. Amen. And you ladies say, you run around on me, I'll kill her. No, no, no, no, no. You run around on me, sir, I will kill you. Me and my wife had that understanding a long time ago. If you ever run around on me, I will kill you. She'll never have to worry about that. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. I love you. There's a difference between our God And they're God's. Amen. There's a difference between the God of this King James Bible. Amen. And the God's of this King James Bible. Amen. There's a big difference. I love you. I love you. Amen. That's just what the Lord laid on my heart this morning. I want to read one more little verse over here. The Lord won't let me get away without reading it. In the book of Matthew. In the book of Matthew. If you're wondering how you're going to be able to stay faithful to the good God of the Lord. Matthew chapter number 28. We're just going to read the last three verses. St. Matthew chapter 28 verse 18. And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, Wonder what that leaves out. When he says all power. Wonder which power that leaves out. You know Jesus, he's that big G God. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. Don't confuse things. Right. Amen. He wasn't just a good man. Amen. He wasn't just a prophet. That's right. Amen. He was God. Amen. When he stepped out and said, Lazarus, come forth, that was the power of God. Amen. When he stepped out and walked across the water, that was the power of God. Right. When he stepped out and he called the wind and the seas and the lightning, that was God. Amen. Everybody okay? Right. When he hung there. That was the man. All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations. Mark says, go ye and preach. But he says, go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Somebody asked me one time, why did he say that at a baptism? Because that's what he said to Satan. Amen. Is everybody alright? I baptize your name with the blood of the Son of the Holy Christ. Amen. That's what we just read. The letters are red. Amen. Teaching them, this it is, to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always. Ain't you glad we don't have to take this journey by ourselves? Ain't you glad we ain't gotta walk alone? That's the difference between their God, their little g-gods, and our God, our big g-god. They can walk all day. and leave their God somewhere and actually lose it. I forgot to pick my God up today. I left him way back over here, and when I got back, somebody stole my God. See, this morning when I got up, I didn't have to look for God. He was already there. Hey, me, when I was getting ready, and I got ready, and went out and got in the car, I didn't have to go over there, bro, to pick him up. But there he was with them. When they got in the car, they didn't have to ask the wife, hey, honey, did you get God? Did you get our God and pick him up and bring him with us this morning? No, he was with her. He said, I'll go with you all the way, even to the ends of the world. And this thing's going to end sooner or later. I think more sooner than later. But ain't you glad we can't just, and I know people drift away from God, but we can't walk off and leave our God and worry about somebody coming by and stealing him. Ain't that good? So this morning, he's a difference. Well, ain't this deep? He's a difference. He's a difference. In our God, in their God. Billy, can you see it? Can you see the difference? Can you see the difference in their God, in our people? Can y'all see the difference? It's true. There's a difference. There's a difference. There's a difference. There's a difference. There's a difference. There's a difference, even in how it's written there. Amen. That's right. That's good. Everything about it is bigger, better. Amen. Are you hearing everything about it on D.G. God? That's right. Amen. It's different than there on D.G. You know there on D.G. God, they got the feet. Right. Balls should never be there. Amen. And ribs shall be there. Amen. But our big guy never lost a battle. He's never been defeated. Undefeated. All-time champion of the world. He won every category. Are you hearing me? He left them in his dust. Isn't that something? All the magicians over there, they began to create the snake. Our big G God just swallowed him up. Amen. That's something. Right. Amen. What gets me. He was seeing something by there, imitating. But they tried it all they could. They couldn't imitate that lice. Everybody all right? Yeah. Amen. That's right. He put lice all over there. They tried him, and they said, damn, this right here is the hand of God. And when the judgment of God falls, ain't no good night. Ain't no good night. Somebody come over to the piano, I know I love you. Our God, and all the other gods of the world. They are, and this blows my mind, they are created out of the substance of this earth. Amen. And our God made them. Amen. Isn't that something? Isn't that amazing? Amen. He is the creator. He is the giver of life. Amen. He is the bread of life. He is the gift of salvation. They're gods, they're gods. Can't even live for them, and yet my God died for me. And on the third day, and this separates them all. You can find all these other false prophets and false gods that these people are worshiping at their tombs. You go to where my Savior was buried, he's not there. He rose from the dead. Yes. On that third point, is everybody okay? Come up out of the grave. He's no longer there. People will fly all the way across the world, halfway across the world to see him. I don't have to. Through an eye of faith, I know it's him. Amen. I love you this morning. The Lord spoke to your heart. Maybe you just want to come and just rededicate to that big G God. Maybe you just want to come and just get close to that big G-God. Maybe there's some things in your life you need to come and confess to the big G-God. Amen? That'd be a good day for that. Just get everything right. We're fixing to go into communion service here. That'd be a good day to just get it all right before that time hits here. God says we're to examine ourselves. Where do you stand when that means you got it? You might be saved on the way to heaven. Life's pretty good, but you know it could be better. You could have a much greater relationship with the God of glory. The God of this universe. The God that has no beginning. And we'll have no. And then I love you this morning while we're staying away.
