bethel has weathered many many trials as well as many triumphant victories because of the solid foundation that was laid with much sacrifice you have come this far by faith i'm reminded of the old

friends in the name of the lord jesus christ i am your friend uh brother clark pastor of the uh all nations united pentecostal church grand cayman islands it is my pleasure as a superintendent of the work here in the cayman islands to celebrate with uh the leadership of jamaica the 70th anniversary of the early bishop nj huslin and first lady huslin his dear wife i want to also greet the the board the church board of the united pentecostal church upc j it is my pleasure to be with you all today may we stand tall as we have had a foundation laid for us all by our father an iconic apostolic uh uh example for the entire apostolic world not only jamaica but all across the globe i can recall when bishop huslin and evangelist urshan one of the father of pentecost uh when they receive that eagle award as too strong uh hero of the apostolic faith if we should do a bible for the past a couple of years since bishop husband came on the scene he would have been in certain like james like paul like the apostle peter we want to at this time stand with the saints of ochres and the leadership of the united pentecostal church of jamaica by the international body upci yes we want to stand with you all to celebrate at this moment sister clark and myself surfing clark the daughter of mother and bishop huslin she's with me at this time and want to share uh strong uh regret of losing such a father but knowing that he had left with a very powerful and strong testimony we have no doubt that we can stand and celebrate with the body of christ the apostle paul dying in rome when his head was hacked off a few minutes before they get the head off this brave apostle opens his mouth and said let me testify before you get my head off he said i've fought a good fight i've finished my course i've kept the faith and henceforth is laid up from your crown of righteousness i believe ladies and gentlemen that bishop nj hoslin a humble powerful apostolic iconic could share the same testimony we're not celebrating right now with sorrow because he has is lost we are celebrating because a hero like this could be in the place of the apostle paul john peter yes my friend that's how i see this bishop may we all at this time celebrate an open trust that we'll meet him on the other side not too long from now may soul rest in peace may god richly bless you brother clark today the 15th september 2021

praise the lord everyone betel is anointed glory hallelujah family inspirational thank you very much and at this time we'll be having moments in church history and we'll be having brother omar brown and sister amanda crawford they will be coming at this time to share with us moments in our church history the history of bethel tabernacle is chronicled over the past 70 years beginning on september 15 1951. we learned that the church started at point st james avenue with just seven faithful members who were so timid that they would hide when the members of a more prominent church were passing by but there are some facets of our history that i am sure many of us will find surprising and interesting for example did you know that our founding pastor the late bishop norman james emmanuel huds huslin was baptized in water in jesus's name on july 2 1942 and received the gift of the holy ghost less than two years later on january 18 1944 i bet you didn't know that he was also a student of the caribbean bible institute at wildman street in kingston jamaica did you know that when he met and fell in love with the person who would become his wife she was a young vibrant christian known then as lelitha titus on fire for the lord at pentecostal tabernacle walman street love certainly has no boundaries because one loving heart had set another on fire and sister lolita gracefully gave her a hand in marriage on august 26 1953 and relocated to sent and to labor alongside her husband in in what would become a sweet sterling relationship that all the dead could sever i concur as jamaicans would say lady huslin was the a key to bishop hustling salt fish i know that you are aware that bishop huslin served as national superintendent of the upcg but did you know that he was the first native of jamaica to be appointed to this office and that to date he is the longest serving national superintendent of the united pentecostal church of jamaica and this was immediately following his service as assistant national superintendent he served a combined 35 years in these two offices 35 years whoa talking about dedication and commitment to service well here is another one for you did you know that where the chair sits today was acquired shortly after battle inception during the rapid growth of the membership yes bishop hudson was certainly a man of vision he saw what the lord was doing and made room to accommodate the throne of souls that would help build the fellowship that we have today today our assembly is blessed to have leaders of various departments and ministries helping to carry out the vision of our pastor but did you know that the first two individuals to serve as deacon were brother oscar williams and eustace hey the first youth president was brother matt doyle did you know that the first local licensed minister in battle was the late evangelist beryl clementine affectionately called me and b was an evangelist yes she was wow every day i learned something new about bethel well here is a little history for you did you know that the first baptism took place by the sea in those days we had no music except for the tambourine and this was not by the person who got to it first our first choir consisted of sister thompson sister taylor sister clark sister pearson and sister maki was our first choir director speaking of firsts did you know that the first sunday school class started in december 1952 with connie bob's ivany neros eddie brenda and michael these were the children of some of our faithful members in those days on the school were small but powerful as there were reports of children who were playing in church at home who received the gift of the holy ghost some of these children include sister prilly sister roof the first three couples to be married by bishop hussein was mr and mrs ricky mcdonald mr and mrs vitero mr and mrs s johnson i know you have heard how in 1953 a then 19 year old sister janet trout on fire for the lord came to a point to preach at a week of services this one week became three weeks of dynamic soul stirring holy ghost-filled revival services which saw the saving of many souls but did you know since that it was during these three weeks of service that brethren such as deacon parkinson brother s johnson brother v taylor and the late brother james were safe i bet you did let me put down my mind take off my glasses just to ask you wipe your face brother wipe your face that's right i did you no question sister amanda and the virgin and saints of peter did you know that the late evangelist marie spike was the longest her venture secretary wow a politician she held for 37 years and did you know that today deacon armando parkinson is the longest servant deacon my god my god oh yes sister spike what a powerful woman of god she was in those days brethren would tremble when sister spike put on her purple gun that's all because you know that something extra ordinary was going to happen oh deacon parkinson fearful brother p i remember him always ensuring that the tabernacle was locked up and well secured bishop could always depend on him brother lattimore malcolm was one of the first musicians in battle musicians i said brother latimer malcolm was one of the first musicians in bethel in those days there were no fancy keyboards [Music] guitars electric guitars and this come on where are they the fancy ones the good old town marine the one that our present past i love to be where is it there is something on it something like that yes but when these anointed vessels started to play the shocking presence would just step in the sanctuary and think of residents hallelujah so you're telling me that bethel has a rich musical history a history of anointed playing by god give tell musicians yes that is exactly what i'm telling you speaking of which did you know that the very first hundredth time this was born out of the vision of our dead music director minister marlon williams to the room showcase better musical ministry all one glorifying god and we have seen over the years that andre sam has taken on a life of his own that of course was the gospel explosion the

again because of the growing membership the last expansion was dedicated to the lord in the year 2001 the word of the lord declares where there is no vision the people perish and bethel has been blessed with visionaries as leaders first in the person of the late bishop huslin and in our present leader bishop ogarth mccoy did you know saints that under the leadership of bishop mccoy the

success of better tabernacle united pentecostal church 29 champs avenue ocho rios st and jamaica over the past 70 years it is interesting to note that this period of 70 years could not have been possible without incredible sacrifices and perseverance yes brothers and sisters ladies and gentlemen we pause to highlight our former pastor and wife bishop and sister norman james emanuel hussley who pioneered this work and also the many star wars to help him to blaze the trail and made such an impact on this terrain this atmosphere and all the accomplishments that we have achieved and it is as a result of these sacrifices is on the shoulders of these renowned giants that we now stand as we embrace and herald our godly heritage and of course we need to understand that we have a great legacy one important aspect of understanding who we are as a people is the ability to recognize and cherish where and how we first began september 15 1951 approximately 70 years ago gave birth to this assembly as a part of the united pentecostal church of jamaica family and hope how we have grown to love and appreciate our church this assembly has produced many visionaries leaders creatures pastors

global pandemic and with so many thousands of souls plummeting every hour into the very fires of hell god has provided us with an open door to territories ready to conquer as we salvage these lost souls for eternity as we embrace the theme celebrate in the past embracing the future i therefore encourage us to remain steadfast unmovable always abounding in the work of the lord for as much as he

wonderful celebration we know that god's getting ready to do something mighty in the church we certainly want to greet bishop mccoy and lady mccoy and congratulate them and congratulate the wonderful saints that are there amen ebenezer god has brought you this far and he didn't bring you this far to let you go now so you know amen that you're getting ready to enter into a brand new season of blessing and victory i won't be long with you today it is a great honor to be asked to be involved in any way shape or form but to be asked to bring a word to this assembly on this 70th anniversary uh we are deeply deeply honored jeremiah chapter 29 and verse 10. i'm going to begin reading there the bible says for thus saith the lord that after 70 years be accomplished at babylon i will visit you and perform my good word toward you in causing you to return to this place for i know the thoughts that i think toward you saith the lord thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected in then shall you call upon me and you shall go and pray unto me and i will hearken unto you and you shall seek me and find me when you shall search for me with all your heart let's pray together father we thank you for your grace and for your mercy thank you for this anniversary celebration lord god thank thank you that you've brought us this far lord jesus christ i pray for this assembly that your hand will be upon them that you will bless them and keep them that you'll make your face to shine upon them and be gracious unto them that you lift up your countenance upon them and give them peace as we share your word today i pray every heart will receive with meekness lord god the engrafted word which is able to make them wise unto salvation bless your people today lord god save heal and deliver and give us wisdom knowledge and understanding we bind satan in the name of jesus we forbid him to operate and loose the power of the holy ghost to take full control of the atmosphere now have your way in this service will be careful to give you all the honor all the glory and all of the praise in jesus name somebody say amen this particular text that we're going to deal with here is quite fitting for the celebration of this 70th anniversary i want to talk to you on this subject today leaving babylon behind leaving babylon behind i want you to understand that the context here jeremiah the prophet is speaking to the captives and these captives of course the house of judah the people of judah that have been in babylon and babylon of course is representative of evil i want you to know that babylon has its uh genesis with nimrod genesis chapter 10 nimrod the descendant of ham founds babylon he is the founder of babylon and it is a type of the antichrist system by the time we get to genesis chapter 11 verse 1 you see that they're getting ready to build a city and a tower that can reach to heaven and this was because they had emerged from the flood their ancestors had emerged from the flood and they were going to do something to counteract god they wanted to do something that god could not overcome they were going to build a tower to go up to heaven so that the judgment of god could never find them again and of course we know the story god came down to see the tower that they were building him he confounded their language he confused them and scattered them this is how we come to have the nations amen in the world but can i tell you that that babylonian system that was founded then persists to this day amen babylon became a nation state and israel had to deal with babylon in their time king nebuchadnezzar came down to judah and took the people of judah captive and destroyed the temple looted the temple and destroyed the temple and god allowed this to happen he allowed this to happen because of the idolatry of the people he allowed this to happen because of the sin that was prevalent amongst them this babylonian system amen it's a political and economic and social and religious system that manifested itself as a nation-state dealing with the nation of judah and nebuchadnezzar even had a dream where he saw this great statue of successive empires babylon which was then replaced by mido persia then replaced by greece then replaced by the romans and we're dealing with the remnants of the roman empire even now it's all the system of babylon and so in the context here uh jeremiah uh dealing with judah had told them that this babylonian captivity was a necessity because god had brought judgment to judah there was punishment that needed to take place there was atonement that needed to take place because of the sin of the people and so god determined that judah would be in captivity in babylon for 70 years 70 years would have to be accomplished because the land had to get rest from the idolatry from the wickedness from the sin that was there the 70 years represented amen a sabbath if you will a rest that had to take place god said i'm going to keep judah down there in babylon for 70 years and jeremiah warned them don't let any prophet tell you that you can get out of this until the 70 years be accomplished if they try to tell you that they are false prophets they have not been sent by god they had to deal with the 70 years of captivity and god told them go ahead and relax in your captivity in other words uh live your life get married have children build houses and then when you look at those 70 years you can be fruitful god was telling them while you're in babylon but rest assured you've got to deal with the captivity but then god said there is there is some some finite action that has to take place this doesn't go on forever there is a termination point because at the end of 70 years i'm going to visit you and i'm going to take you out of babylon and i'm going to perform the word that i already spoke over your life i don't know who's listening on this service today amen but i feel to just say prophetically to bethel to the saints in osha rios amen that you are at a prophetic crossroad you are act amen a place where something is about to shift there is a shifting taking place amen prophetically in that assembly because god told the children of israel that after 70 years i'm getting ready to bring you out and i'm going to do some things in your life because he said i know the thoughts that i think toward you saith the lord thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end so god wants me to talk to you today about this prophetic shift that's taking place where you're going to leave babylon behind you have been a beacon of light for 70 years in the middle of a babylonian system i want you to know that the jesus name apostolic church the united pentecostal church in ochreas bethel the house of god has been a place of refuge for souls in a babylonian system your church has been the light in the midst of darkness you have been there in that city in the great parish of sinai in the island of jamaica that is governed by spiritual forces wicked spiritual forces that that show themselves from time to time in the nation in one form or the other listen bethel you're not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places every region has a ruling principality and spirit and jamaica is no different the parish of sin and is no different and i said this to you before and i'll say it again that saint anne has a prophetic role to play because the apostolic movement really found its strength and stability in sin and and that is because historically saint anne was a point of entry a man christopher columbus showed up in saint anne when the old world met the new and that was showing or prefiguring what was going to take place in the spirit realm that something new was going to come into the island and it was jesus name baptism it was the infilling of the holy ghost it was the doctrine the monotheistic doctrine of one god whose name is jesus my israel adonai eloheinu adonai econ hero israel the lord our god is one lord somebody ought to thank god for the one god doctrine right now somebody ought to thank god for acts 2 38. somebody ought to thank god for the preaching of the holiness of the word of almighty god separation from the world without which no man shall see the lord and saint anne then holds a pivotal place this is why so many apostolic organizations amen find their strength in sin and bishop huslin used of god to preach the apostolic truth and to usher in the gift of government in that region and in that territory and succeeded now by the very presiding bishop of the united pentecostal church in jamaica bishop mccoy who god has raised up in this end time to continue to do the work of god and to hold up the bloodstained banner so firstly amen bethel i want you to know that after these 70 years that we have to be mindful of the fact that jesus is coming back amen the return of israel to their land was a prophetic signpost for all of us that god is getting ready to inaugurate his kingdom god is getting ready to come back in power amen we used to talk a lot about jesus coming back but people have gotten so complacent now that they don't want to hear about jesus coming back they want to hear about what god is going to bless them with down here but we need to turn our eyes amen to calvary and we need to have a maid of mind that this world is not our home we're just passing through our treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue the angels beckon us from heaven open door and we can't feel at home in this world anymore we need to get back to the reality of the impending return of the lord jesus christ we are coming close to the rapture of the church we're coming close to the great gathering together that jesus prophesied to us amen the angel is going to shout and the trumpet is going to sound and the dead in christ will rise first and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the lord in the air and soul shall we ever be amen with the lord according to corinthians we'll be changing the movement in the twinkling of an eye amen it's going to be so quick the molecules in your body the atoms in your body will be transformed by the sound of the voice of almighty god and you will have a glorified body that is able to transcend the surly bonds of earth and we will walk with jesus amen in heavenly places i wish somebody would get excited now i wish somebody would shout hallelujah i wish somebody would shout thank you jesus that he is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle he told us in john amen if you believe in god believe also in me in my father's house there are many mansions if it were not so i would have told you i go to prepare a place for you that where i am you may be also amen jesus is coming back for the church somebody ought to be excited that you're going to escape this entire babylonian system everything that this world has to offer all this covet all these diseases the pestilence of the world the trials and the tribulation everything that is down here that's trying to steal your joy that's trying to steal your peace god almighty is about to deliver the church up there is a great escape amen that is taking place from babylon can i tell you the only way to get out of this sinful wicked system amen is those that have been baptized in jesus name those that have been filled with the gift of the holy ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues those that hold to the oneness of god those that are living a holy separated life amen god has made a way for you out of nowhere you have nothing to fear but fear itself because we have a promise from god we have a word from god that's telling us that we're on our way to glory somebody ought to shout with a voice of triumph because you know that god is making a way for the church out of no way i feel like praising him and for about five seconds would you lift your hands and just shout hallelujah right where you're standing or right where you're sitting right now secondly i want to speak prophetically amen to bethel glory to god amen it's been 70 years that you have been laboring to preach the gospel to that region but god said i know the thoughts that i'm thinking towards you saith the lord thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end you're going to call upon me god says and you shall go and pray unto me and i will hearken unto you and you will seek me and find me when you search for me with your whole heart i believe prophetically that god is getting ready to move your church into a dimension of prayer and worship and demonstration that has never been experienced in the life of the church i want you to hear what i'm saying that in the next few months and in the next few years in spite of the pandemic in spite of everything that the church is facing in spite of trouble within and without god is taking you to a higher level of consecration to a higher level of prayer to a higher level of praise and worship miracle signs and wonders are getting ready to be released in that congregation it's going to be released in the houses of the families that are a part of that great church it's going to be released in that city it's going to be released in the parish and what takes place in bethel is going to reverberate across amen the island of jamaica god almighty is about to do miraculous things blind eyes are about to be open deaf ears are about to be unstopped amen people are going to get up out of wheelchairs i believe the lame gonna walk i believe that diseases that are terminal amen will be reversed by the power of almighty god i believe that witchcraft amen will be broken off of the lives of the people of god that are in that church i feel amen are refreshing that's coming into that assembly there's a fresh anointing getting ready to be poured out and that anointing is going to destroy every yoke every curse will be reversed in the name of jesus christ generational curses are being broken as i am preaching the word right now somebody is about to bring a man of blessing into that house amen debts are about to be canceled in the mighty name of jesus building programs that have been stalled are getting ready to open up and go forward amen everything that's been trying to block the church from making progress by the power of the holy ghost we're tearing it down now in jesus name i come to tell bethel that the weapons of your warfare are not carnal but mighty through god to the pulling down of strongholds casting down every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of god and brings every thought in captivity to the obedience of christ jesus bethel you might as well shout hallelujah you might as well give god the glory because 70 years have been accomplished and the prophecies that have gone forth on the church you're about to see prophecy come to pass over your church like you have never experienced before listen you're about to enter into the season of fulfillment i'ma say that again you are walking into the season of fulfillment you're about to see the fulfillment of 10 years ago a word came to bethel that 10 year old word is about to come to pass 30 years ago a word came to bethel about things that would happen in the future that 30 year old word is about to come to pass oh i feel in the holy ghost amen that the blessing of the lord is about to be released because an atonement has been made and 70 years have been accomplished this is not a normal number this is a prophetic number this is a season where god's about to bring things to pass hallelujah and you can lift up the name of jesus and glorify the king of kings because it's happening right now and thirdly can i just speak to you individually in the last seven minutes of this message amen every individual member will begin to experience what the body is experiencing collectively i want you to know that if you're a faithful part of that church and you're holding up the hands of the man of god and you're supporting the work of god in your prayer amen and with your time and energy and resources that god has not forgotten your faithfulness god sees amen and knows what you're going through individually he knows what's going on in your house he knows how the devil has tried to steal your children he knows how the enemy has tried to mess with your marriage he knows a man that your ministry has been under attack he knows financially that you've been up against the greatest struggle that you have ever seen but jesus is saying i know the thoughts that i'm thinking to you thoughts of peace i've got a plan for your life your children will be saved your family will be put back together your marriage will reconcile your ministry will be restored your finances will be blessed victory is coming to your life no weapon that is formed against you shall be able to prosper god said that you are more than conqueror amen that you are the head and not the tale i'm getting ready to put you in front am not behind i'm getting ready to put you above and not beneath her and this is why amen on this 70th anniversary you need to worship jesus you need to lift him up you need to clap your hands to all your people and shout unto god with a voice of triumph and a voice of victory because you're not shouting from man this is not for the glory of man but this is for the king of kings and the lord of lords the conquering lion of the tribe of judah the bright and the morning star the lily of the valley the fearest of ten thousand he which was and is and is to come the almighty the wonderful counselor the mighty god the everlasting father the prince of peace his name is jesus and at that name every knee shall bow with the things in heaven
