your blessings grant us your peace in Jesus name we pray amen can these dry bones live pastor is he killed the executive members of the committee have asked me to discuss with you a vote that they have taken that's how the conversation could have started yet it was not a conference president who was on the other end of the line in fact there was no line it was the chairman of all boards who was calling it was God himself consequently my brothers and sisters the preacher did not have the luxury of saying that the Brethren had not been in touch with God the preacher could not pass it off as a mistake made by people motivated by political intentions it was God himself who spoke directly to the preacher God lifted the preacher from where he was and transported him to a site that was full of dead bones and to add insult to injury God asked the preacher can these dry bones live was fear any possibility the preacher was in a predicament he had been in a problem you see friends if he had said yes it would have meant that he was very very straightforward it would have meant that he was full of presumption if he said no it would have meant that he lacked faith so turning the question back to God and displaying much wisdom he said only you alone know my god I want you to understand brothers and sisters to go back for a historical background the people of God the children of Israel had been in Egyptian bondage for over 400 years God had delivered them through Moses but as they were delivered they went back into their past mistakes I want you to understand my brothers and sisters that when God has called you out of your sins you need to go forward by the grace of God there are too many of us who hold on to our past mistakes we hold on to the sins of the past and there are some individuals who remind you of how sinful you once were but if anybody should tell you that you are still sinful tell them we have heard a joyful sound Jesus Saves Jesus Saves tell to sinners far and wide Jesus Saves for a heard the song writers say there is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins and sinners can plunge beneath that flood and lose all their guilty stains I have come here this morning to let somebody know that even though you are deep your sins there is still a God who can pick you up and brush you off and set you on your way rejoicing and want somebody to understand you are not too deep in sin that the blood of Jesus cannot cleanse your for the blood of Jesus it reaches to the highest mountain and it flows to the lowest Valley it will never ever lose its power and that is why we are here today because the blood of Jesus is still relevant for us today my brothers and sisters the people of God had died in their trespasses that is why passive Albert Walker in Psalm 137 we are told by the rivers of Babylon L the wind where we sat down and there we went when we remembered Zion and the tormentors asked them the question how can you sing the Lord's song in a strange land I want somebody in may pen to understand this afternoon you might be tormented at the workplace somebody might be giving you a hard time evening the Church of the Living God you may be going through difficult moments somebody might be saying to you can you sing us one of the songs of Zion but I've stopped by to let you know you can sing the Lord's song so we have heard a joyful sound Jesus Saves Jesus Saves you can sing onward Christian soldiers marching as to war with the cross of Jesus going on before you see when you're a child of God victory will be yours because jesus is alive today my mountains are movable my rivers are possible my problems are solvable hypocrites are manageable we serve a powerful God so I want somebody to know if you feel down if you feel discouraged just look up to Jesus for the songwriter Caesar look on Jesus sinless is here father impute gives life unto me my life of scarlet my sin and woe covered with his blood whiter than snow there is hope in Jesus they were going through difficult times their hope was lost and so God God a preacher he sent him to a seemingly home hopeless situation it was a district that was full of dead people I want you to understand friends that some churches are filled with dead people some churches not here in my pen the people are just feet for the cemetery they come to church on sabbath and instead of being happy their faces are long like they want to use the toilet instead of singing and being grateful to god they murmur and complain but if there's anyone who must be happy it must be the child of god so when you come to church on a sabbath you must be happy in Jesus but there is something deep inside of me telling me to go on when I come into the presence of God I come with Thanksgiving because Jesus is worthy to be praised for when we get over yonder angels will fold their wings for angels do not know the blessings that my salvation brings her angels don't know what it means to be hungry angels don't know what it means to be tempted angels don't know what it means to be broke so when we get over yonder we shall sing and shout but guess what brothers and sisters we need to practice right here right now some of our churches Eldo sharp all of some people like to do its to sleep on the premises of God instead of standing on God's promises they sleep elder Bailey on his premises and there are some people who are fast asleep in church the preachers preaching pastor Walker somebody's singing when you come into the house of God you must be vibrant because your God it's not a dead God your God is alive if you should check the grave of Shinto his bones are still there if you should check the grave of Selassie his bones are still there if you should check the grave of Mohammed his bones are still there but bless my heart if you go down to where Jesus was buried if you open that sobotka you will see an empty grave for an empty grave is there to prove my save the liver because on that resurrection morning Jesus got up a conqueror over death and the grave oh my god is not dinner for he woke me up this morning and started me on my way huh when I think of the goodness of Jesus ER and all he has done for me my soul cries out hallelujah hallelujah thank God for saving my soul so when we come into church we must be on fire for Jesus er we need the power of the Holy Ghost God told him to talk to the dead the Bible say in Ecclesiastes 9 and verse 5 that the living know that they shall die but they know nothing I can hear somebody else and the Fenton saying in Psalm 146 and verse 3 that the day the person dies his thoughts perish I can hear somebody brother love 14 but who can it be that God was instructing the man of God to speak but did people I wanna let you know that God defies all logic God defies all human reasoning God defies all human comprehension what is impossible with man is possible with God so if God tells you to do something do it by the power of God if God says jumpa just ask how high my god when God gives you an instruction when God gives you a little differ follow it by the grace of Jesus and so brothers and sisters he was told to speak to these bones but I want you to understand something very quickly before I shut my big mouth you need to understand that bones may seem inanimate but if you just look at that aspect you will miss the whole point you see the fact is bones are not supposed to be try and I came upon a preacher and he found out that bones are not just structural creatures they are not just inert objects as a matter of fact one scientist discovered that blood vessels ran through bones in 1756 another scientists discovered not only one but many blood vessels run through bones in the 19th century it was generally accepted that bones are growing mechanisms of producing blood bones are not just dry objects bones have the potential to produce blood and so brothers and sisters in the Church of God we are not to be try bones we are to be living bones for Jesus God wanted Ezekiel to understand the intricacies of bones he also wanted him to talk to these bones God admonished his aquiline to speak the Word of God to these dry bones so that they should live I want to tell you something friends the Word of God still stands today it was last year a former pastor in the sun--the day Adventist Church Ella went came on religious hard talk and he began to talk about the Sabbath saying that the Sabbath was not a day but it was a person he said that Jesus is the Sabbath but today I'm here to mash down that lie for Jesus declared in Genesis chapter 2 and God rested on the seventh day in Luke 4:16 the Bible tells us that Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read in Isaiah 66 and verse 23 we're told that from one moon to another from one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come and worship before me I want somebody to understand the Bible is still the word of Jesus give me the Bible holy message shining thy light shall guide me in the narrow way precept and promise law and love combining till night shall guide me in the narrow way many scholars and philosophers are saying the Word of God is no longer binding but I'm here to mash down that lie the Word of God is still relevant today for Jesus said of thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path the Bible says the entrance of thy word giveth light it giveth understanding unto the simple give me the word of Jesus there was a man by the name of volunteer 40 was an agnostic he was an atheist and he predicted that within a few years the Bible would have become obsolete and so sister Hales there were a number of persons who believed him guess what bulk to your diet and on top of his grave today there's a Bible house you don't understand what I'm saying the man who said the Bible would have become extinct he died on his grave a Bible House is producing the Word of God you can't fight Jesus you might as well join him for Jesus is a powerful God don't fight against God you better join him so God told is he killing to prophesy how could he have prophesied to dead bones how could he have prophesied to people who had no hope but the message is my brothers and sisters it wasn't what Ezekiel wanted it was what God wanted him to do and there are times God gives us assignments and we don't want to go there are places God sends us and we refuse to go it's not about us it's about Jesus it's not what we like it's not what we want is what God says if God says it we must do it so here was a church a church that was filled with people who did not say Amen at the end of the sermon a church when the pastor was preaching they looked at him as if he were stupid a church we're spiritual things and godly things meant nothing to them but here the man of God was told not to watch any face can I talk to the church today can I talk to me been today maybe in church there are some members not messages they want the preacher to tell them what they want to hear brother Bennett they wanted the preacher to tell them that all things are bright and beautiful they want the preacher to tell them that it's okay to hog up their sins but Isaiah 58 and verse 1 declare the clears cry aloud spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins when I look around and see what is happening in my country to make a land that I love and realize that church man is on the land God's people must get up and give the trumpet a certain sound you hear in current on people are afraid of me pen they say that may pen is not a playpen but thank God for the Adventist Church that lifts of the standard of Jesus we must allow wicked men to know the theories Accord that Judgment Day is coming up the church must get up and let people know that the trumpet of God must be selling there with a certain sound the first 20 days of this year saw 100 people being murdered as a matter of fact this parish have a dubious distinction of being the parish that recorded the very first five murders then Ella Bailey in January the prime minister declared a state of emergency in Saint James and then a few weeks ago he declared another one in st. Catherine north people are saying that Karen Don is next but I want you to understand friends God has given us a message for wicked people the message is simple repent for the kingdom of God is at hand no it's not the time for members to fight with each other we need to unite for we have one enemy that enemy is the devil so he was told to preach my brothers and sisters very quickly there was a fella by the name of Clyde snow who was Clyde snow Clyde snow was a forensic anthropologist and snow declared that bones tell who you are back then you could tell who an individual was his race his gender based on his bones this branch of biology was known as osteo biography your bones tell who you are for example he declared that I'm narrow steep pelvis indicated that the person was a male and a broad shallow pelvis indicated that the person was a female the rich and nasal margins told of the racial makeup of that individual no amount of plastic searches could hide that person's gender or race the cranium told how old the person was when he or she died so your bones tell a story come with me now quickly back to this Valley what was Ezekiel supposed to understand he was to have understood my brothers and sisters that these people had sad stories many people in God's church today have sad stories many of you are here today you seem to be happy but deep down you're hurting I want to let you know God is saying to Ezekiel speak to these sad people your marriages are in trouble your children are giving you problems you have problems at the workplace you have problems in the church you have financial difficulties the Sun refuses to shine I have come today representing Ezekiel to say to me pan your sad stories may overwhelm you but by the grace of God you shall rise again by the grace of God don't feel sorry for yourselves don't stay in the mother don't stay in the Meza get up by the grace of God and I love Jesus to brush you off and allow Jesus to give you the victory tell that devil shaitana you're a liar I'm gonna go back in the enemy's camper and I'm gonna take her what he stole from me but the grace of God you shall rise again because Jesus is gonna lift you up somebody has a sad story somebody has been going through difficult times you feel like giving up today perhaps you're saying my life is not worth living anymore I'm gonna end my life but i banished that thought in the name of Jesus I rebuke that thought in the name of Jesus don't kill yourself but there is hope in God just get down on your knees and talk to Jesus tell him all about your problems and Jesus will pick you up and give you a way where there seemed to have been a no way and so for it's God as he began to prophesy he recognized that's something special what's happening a movement was taking place but before this happened Ezekiel had to have faith Ezekiel had to have the belief that God would have done what he said he would have done you know I've told Raquel several times I said to her one day Iraq if I'm sick I have a list there are some people you must not allow to come through that gate to pray for me lol it sounds harsh but guess let me tell you why their prayers are not gonna make me feel better their prayers are gonna make me get worse you see friends it takes special people to pray for you when you're going through crises don't invite every and everybody to come and pray for you when you're not well they will make things worse for you and there are some individuals when they come to visit you at home when they are kneeling down they are they're brushing the floor to see if your house is well kept their eyes are in the ceiling to see if there is cobweb up there you don't need that when people are going through difficult times when somebody's hurting you need to go to that person if that person open prayer say Jesus have mercy for the prayer of the righteous man availeth much lord have mercy so he began to prophesy then my brothers and sisters the wind was given and my device I have here to tell somebody I'm here to let somebody know the winds will get on my device I'm here to tell somebody that when God's people start to prophesy great things are going to happen I'm here to tell somebody that the movement called the Sunday Adventist Church is gonna move like the power of the Holy Spirit for the song says have you heard of the Advent Church of God how she is moving according to prophecy for the Lord is her leader and by faith she must conquer have you heard of the Advent Church I heard the songwriters say sound the battle cry see the phone I raised the standard high for the Lord gird your armor honor stand firm everyone risk your calls upon his holy word of rose then soldiers rally rung the banner ready steady pass the word along onward forward shout alone Hosanna Christ is kept in a of a mighty strong I want to tell you something when Christ is in your vessel you can smile at the storm I want someone to understand when your storms are raging just write out your storms with Jesus I want somebody to know you're rich here might be seen might seem impossible it might seem difficult but when God steps in he will say to you in the winter what do you have in your hand you will say Jesus I have a little staff to you elder it's just a staffer but to Jesus it's an actor it's a symbol of deliverance he will say to you le sharper stand still and see the salvation of the Lord and those who have been pursuing you the Red Sea is gonna come back and destroy them I want somebody to understand her when your waist please Cora when you're tied up and wrapped up and tangled up in Jesus your enemies will have to see you and wish you well as a child of God people will try to hurt you they will try to step on you but a song when I was growing up you lick him down you fling him down and bounce right back up what a hard man federa when you're a child of God people will try to step on you or people who try to hurt you but Jesusa will lift you up ah but there is power in Jesus and praise God as he prophesied the bones began to come together and so dry bones brother Munro because al-kabun was connected to the knee bone and the knee bone was connected to the hip bone and the hip wolf was connected to the and the black bone was connected come on Ella Bailey for the and when is he can looked no longer were they scattered but they were still strong together but when he prophesied a microfiber took place in that funny I want somebody to understand I don't worry about the Sunday after discharge I've heard people say that they're worried about the adventure CH but I'm not worried about the church because Jesus is in charge of his church and when Jesus please this Jesus will shake it up and everything that can be shaken will be shaken by the grace of God there are some people who believe that God has appointed them as his watchdogs there are some groups Shepherds rods and brings me and Branch Davidians who criticized the church who criticized pastors who criticize everything they believe that God has put them there to clean up the church but I have a message for all of you of use you can't do God's work for him let God do his work himself for God knows what he's doing and a day is gonna come when God shake up his church those who are playing church souls were hypocrites those who are not carrying out the will of God they will be shaken out but it's not for me and it's not for you to judge because there are people on the outside who would believe are not worthy God is gonna bring them into the Church of the Living God there are some prostitutes over there there are some dancehall people out there there are some thieves out there there are some criminals out there we turn upon noses of them we scoff at them we say all men are things about them but one day they're gonna get it right one day the power of the Holy Ghost is gonna touch them they're gonna come into the Church of the Living God and the same seal and the same gusto that they had out there they're gonna come into the church turn let's stop Jesus and if I am playing a fool of myself I'm gonna be shaken out and so my friends the bones came together great victory had been won as I closed today somebody preached like John the Baptist preached like John the Revelator you might be thrown in a cauldron of hot oil someone might be waiting to destroy you but when you are thrown in that cauldron of boiling oil instead of being consumed you're going to have a warm bubble bath in Jesus for what people meant for we can't think God will use it to bring honor and glory to his name I say to somebody today prophesy even if it might appear as if you're crazy lift up your voice and the clear thus saith the word of Almighty God you might not be popular but lift up the standard for Jesus Christ preached the three angels messages fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment has come preach Babylon is fallen is fallen because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication preach if any man worship the Beast and His image preach the everlasting gospel of Jesus preached my brothers and sisters that the state of the data is still relevant for when a man dies he is de 80 he is not in Havana nor is he in hell preach the Sabbath message of Jesus preach the central message of God for Jesus Christ is in the most holy interceding on our behalf I want somebody to know today preach the word of Jesus they may not like you but lift up the standard of almighty God's for the tribe owns mostly and those who don't like it I'm sorry for you but a revival is coming into the Church of Jesus I Reviver it's gonna take place God says God is gonna send a revival on this land that is why I say to you don't watch any pastor don't watch any leader keep your eyes on Jesus don't look to the left don't look to the right but keep your eyes on Jesus for on Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground it's sinking sand all other ground is sinking sand prophesy may pan prophesy tell those try bones that they can live tell them that there is power in the blood of Jesus tell them would you be free from your burden of sin there is power in the blood tell them that God has a plan for all of us tell them today that God specializes in taking dry bones and making them live again tell them my pen god has a standard and his people must come up to that standard tell them today Babylon will fall but the kingdom of God will last forever tell them that Thrones and Men will perish but God's church will move on like a mighty Conqueror tell them in the name of Jesus that on Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand if there be any virtue if there be any praise think think think think on these things [Music]
