palmer jr along with our minister music mr earl one love vernon amen acts chapter 16 if you found it say glory we're going to begin reading that verse 23 through verse 35. now this is a very familiar story amen throughout the gospel throughout the bible dumb amen but we are going to focus on these scriptures today we're going to talk about the others but our primary focus are these 20 through 23 through 35. let's read them together ready and let's read and when they had laid many stripes upon them they cast them into prison charging the jailer to keep them safely if you will look at your neighbor and say the jello had a job to do amen that's very important please continue 24 who having received such a charge thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast in the stocks and at midnight paul and silas prayed and sing praises unto god and the prisoners heard them look at your neighbor and say sometimes you got to get loud amen tell that person behind you because they might like the whisper tell them sometimes you got to get loud amen i'm talking about in church sometimes you got to get loud in your praise and your witness and what you're doing amen it's all right to follow along sometime but sometimes you got to get in there and get your praise on tell your neighbor it's all right to get loud sometimes sometimes amen i think we are at 26 ready let's read and suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken and immediately all the doors were open and every one bands were losed and the keeper of the prison awakened out of his sleep and seeing the prison doors open he drew out his saw and would have killed himself supposing that the prisoners had been fled look at your neighbor and say don't kill yourself somebody else need to hear that you look at them and tell them what your mask on you you talk out loud you tell them don't kill yourself don't do that amen amen somebody out there watching in facetube and youtube can y'all say it out loud don't kill yourself don't do that that's what this verse is talking about continue with verse 28 but paul cried with a loud voice saying do thyself no harm for we are all here then he called for a light and sprang in and came trembling and fell down before paul and silas and brought them out and said says what must i do to be saved ain't that serious he was going to kill himself knowing that he wasn't saved oh we're talking some serious stuff in here today tell your neighbor this is serious this is serious verse 31 loud as you can and they said believe on the lord jesus christ and thou shalt be saved in the house and they spake unto him the word of the law and to all that were in his house and he took them the same hour of the night let somebody say at night took him that same night didn't wait till the morning please continue with unwashed and washed their stripes and was baptized he and all his straight way hmm that's serious 34 and when he had brought them into his house he set meat before them and rejoice believing in god with all his house and verse 35 loud as you can and when it was day the magistrates sent the serger sergeants saying let those men go good daughter look at your neighbor and say don't hurt yourself that's all i'm gonna talk about today don't hurt yourself amen i'm hoping this helping somebody already and don't hurt yourself amen amen can you say that don't hurt yourself amen because this particular scripture is uh so important because i do believe amen that even on last year may have been the most funerals i ever attended amen amen i've had some years where hey man i had uh two or three a week but this last year and going on into this year sometimes it's been four and five a week hey man look at your neighbor and say somebody leaving here hey man we're all are born to live and then we all live to die i'm going to say that one more time i said we are all born to live and then we all live tonight can i get a witness and then i'll come to tell you that we die to live again i hope that cheers somebody up amen i'm talking about eternal life yeah if you die to the world amen you can live for the law amen if you die and give up the world's way of living and pick up your cross and follow him you have eternal life and i told somebody this a while back eternal life starts on this side it starts on this side but but it ends up on the other side amen if you don't begin your eternal life on this side there's no need of worrying about the other side amen because the other side if you don't get saved on this side you're going to have eternal damnation in other words you're going to be forever a man with the devil in his foot amen i don't think nobody really wants to go there amen the bible said that that that it is god's desire that no man should perish his desires that no woman should perish his desire is that no child should perish without giving their life to him oh yesterday i want you to know that if thou shalt confess with your mouth amen in other words you got to say something amen i'm trying to help somebody now you you don't like to talk you don't like your voice but you better get get used to that strange voice you got you better learn to talk with it you better learn how to use it because the bible said death and life is in the power of the tongue and if you're not saying anything death can slip upon you and pull you down and snatch you out of here before you get a chance to say oh you ever seen wildly coyote before he hit the rock he said man sometimes life is so quick we don't even have time to look and to say what happened amen just end up tweaking out of an eye we all can be gone what do you mean preacher i'm talking about we just uh acknowledged the uh 20 year anniversary of of the incident that happened with the twin towers they were just in their work and then all of a sudden plane i don't know what i think about that did they pray that morning huh did they did they leave the house mad slamming those that don't sound familiar does it do you leave cussing and fussing holland i'll put some syria on the table fix your own breath did any of them leave that way that morning how many you know that when you leave you don't know really if you're making it back but if you have faith that you can come back that's good but but if the lord come if you're saved that's even better so to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord but lord i want to stay around here a little while longer anybody else want to stay around here a little while longer hey man if you want to stay around here a little while longer look toward heaven and say god i want to stay around here a little while longer i just said death in life is in the power of the tongue sometimes when you tell god what you want he'll give it to you hey man you better learn how to talk to god hey man look at that person beside you and say you better learn how to talk to god amen tell them you might not talk to me you might not even like me talking to you now but you better learn how to talk to god learn how to talk to god it's easy to talk to god hey man you just talk to him like you're talking to your best friend hey man when you talk to your best friend if you got a real good friend amen they've seen you at your best and they probably seen you at your worst amen i want you to know a man god amen specializes in helping us at our worst i'm gonna say that one more time because somebody thought you were by yourself i said god specializes in helping us at our worst hmm i'm so glad about this text today we're talking about uh death we're talking about leaving here uh the bible says amen that it is born it is appointed unto man wants to die amen that that's the outward part of us that's the physical part of us amen uh when that died that's your once but your soul lives forever amen and if you save you're going up there going over yonder going up beyond going over yonder to be with my lord come on oh oh i'm going open yonder i'm going up yonder y'all can help me growing up younger to be with my love that's what i say folks if you say stand up and stay with me going over yonder [Music] y'all sound good y'all sound good y'all sound good now if you're not saved i i i can't even use that same melody with going down yonder i don't want y'all to get confused with the melody but you're going down there to be with your lord [Music] the lord of the flies the elizabeth satan the deceiver the tempter you're going down there to be with your lord so my question to you is which way are you going the pastor don't know i got a good idea about your fruit i got a good idea about your life i got a good idea about your service but but but for those who ain't doing nothing and saying nothing don't nobody know about you i'm just trying to i'm trying to make this thing real because again in spanberg the highest number of hospitalizations with covenant in the united states is just 20 miles away i got to get out of here hey man now we want to look at a few words before we get out of here look at your neighbors side amen that's s-i-d-e side amen and that is a homophone which is means that it's another word that's side but it's spelled different that means something totally different now the word side amen means to be a man uh to one's left or right amen that's the side i didn't say the front or the back but i did say the side tend to get a witness and and and and and joshua said as for me and my house amen we're going to choose the law so my question again i'm asking you this because you come to church you enjoyed the singing you enjoyed the preach you even paid pretty good but you're not paying your ties yet but but you're paying pretty good but my question is where will you go when you breathe your last breath my job is to make sure that you know that there is a good place and a bad place now it's your mind to make up where you want to go amen i hope you want to go with me to my father's house amen i pray amen that you come along my friends come along heaven knows i've been changed nothing on this train you lose everything you gain i pray that that's your decision now as we look outside a man's side also means a man a a part of a meal you know you get the chicken but what's the size huh it's a sign and i want you to know amen after you get christ your side should be prayer huh your side should be meditation and study amen you got to have more than just christ amen you should have a church family and a pastor if you're going to make it and need help along the way amen you're gonna need somebody to pray with and to listen to that's the size you ought to have you're gonna have some side you ought to have some worship and some praise you got to have some science with christ you you ought to have a man you're tired in your offering oh i'm trying to help somebody some of y'all just been eating chicken but you got to have more than just christ because he won't he came to give us life that's what minister mintz read and he came to give it more abundantly so my question is why are you waiting to embrace your abundance why are you waiting somebody put that out there in in the comments while you're waiting on your abundant life it's that but you got to line up with it it don't line up with you oh i know i'm making somebody think hey man i'm supposed to that's my job look at your neighbor and say don't hurt yourself now i'm trying to get there amen that's what side mean but beside amen c-i-d-e can somebody put that out there to come inside c-i-d-e amen side side can y'all say side side means the act of killing crd psy what you mean preacher what i mean by amen have y'all ever heard of a herbicide a herbicide is that fertilizer you put out that kill the weeds but not the grass it's a killing agent hey man and i want you to know if you got the holy ghost god had killed the weeds in your life i'm trying to help somebody yeah if you got the holy spirit he'll kill the weeds in your life he'll kill the briars and what do you mean because the bible said let both go grow together but when god get ready he'll move the enemy out when god gets ready he'll take care of the weed when when god gets ready he'll allow you to grow more amen because don't you know that when the weed is growing next to the plant the weed is taking some of the nutrients hey man some of y'all been feeding weeds that's why you're so weak you've been feeding weeds because you've been putting more time into them and then putting it into yourself i'm trying to help somebody understand here today you need to sprinkle jesus in your life so he can kill the weeds look at your neighbor and say a herbicide how about to get out of here hey man anybody out there hey man this is not lowe's or home depot but you can get it right here you don't have to pull around around to the back of the store you can buy your head and get it right here you don't have to come up here to the altar you can you can bow your head right where you are kind of get a witness you you can lift up your hands where you are and say god i need some herbicide these weeds are choking even in the scripture it talked about sowing on good seed it sprang up but then the weeds began to grow with it and choked it out amen don't let your friends or so-called friends choke out god i'm trying to help somebody here today don't let them squeeze the god out of you can i get a witness look at your neighbor and say put down some herbicide amen not only herbicides but i want you to know there is something called insecticide i'm about to get out here somebody need to hear this because amen you've been trying to hurt yourself insecticide amen insecticide is what we get a man in various forms a man to keep the insects away amen insecticide amen uh and there are other things that kill and repel uh uh insects one amen is that light that you can put outside and they'll come to that night and when they that that light a zap them hey man look at that neighbor and say that light a zapping see some of them bugs in your life you got to

don't talk to people if i talk to him they think i like him if i talk to him they'll think she's my girlfriend if i talk to him they think i'm doing what they doing but how do you know that they won't hear about god unless a godly person talk to them about god look at your neighbor and say during your life trying to get out of here amen somebody got some off see sometime you just need to praise and and when you praise them and that'll get the bugs off of you because cause they don't like praise and and when you begin to shout hallelujah that'll get the bugs off because they don't like church amen when you begin to shout and dance in one place they'll look at you real funny if you're not doing the twerk or rubbing up against somebody but you need to tell them falling in love with jesus was the best thing i ever done and every once in a while i find myself dancing in the corner with it oh yeah he may be a stranger to some of you but i heard a song a few days ago said dancing with a stranger he won't be a stranger if you get to know him he won't be a stranger if you give him your heart he won't be a stranger if you begin to shabbat him he won't be a stranger if you begin to draw nigh unto him get on your mind look at your neighbor and say don't hurt yourself i'm trying to get out of here brother somebody need to know this because they're not going to tell you this at work

are human beings man woman boy and girl homo sapiens i said sapiens don't misquote me can i get a win i'm so glad that god loves us i'm so glad that god loves everybody sinner or saint righteous or unrighteous holy uh unholy saved uh unseen god loves of all but i'll just stop by to tell somebody i was a sinner i was unrighteous i was not fit for the kingdom of god but he looked beyond my faults and heard my cry he saved my soul and set it on holy ghost fire can i get a witness and when god [Music] tells us something we should listen can i get awareness in exodus 20 down in verse he said thou
