Evangelist Maria Gardner Preaching In 1996 A Powerful Message For Today! "Tell Us"

my god a Handclap let me tell you wait a minute I don't want you to have give it to him god is awesome God is smart god is good so much is going on in the land I looked at the theme getting to a generation now is a big risk because we're living in a generation now that folk are not afraid of anything I have a tragedy at my church one of our young people was murdered just a few days ago the mother's only Son and she has one daughter this young man is 27 years old mother not knowing that he was mixed up in being a Muslim disowned mothers the body cannot be moved the people have called her house yesterday I was over and they said to this mother you're next for the simple reason is that they want that body because the Muslims take the body and wash it down then they wrap it in claws they said that the young man has signed a statement that he would not be in mom he would not have enough Topsy that he would have a Muslim funeral and that he would be taken to Atlantic City not knowing he was so big and involved they call what they have that he made and then he's the second in command this mother did not know they had one of our faithful members now that son she had would not allow their Muslims to take that body so we have the body moved to the funeral parlor making funeral arrangements I said to Pastor let's back off because they were coming to tear their church up so they embalmed them they ran in the top C so they called the churches the funeral parlor and said they would destroy that funeral parlor if they don't give them that body I said to the mother I'm gonna fight over sin but I'm not fighting over dead body I said to her I have two grown sons myself but if they ever live in my house and disrespect me Ida called him last night and told him to go get a box and just drop him anyway because you got your life to live they didn't gone and if that hadn't been you he'd have been crying two minutes and ready to do his thing oh it sound cold but it's right this generation don't care nothing about their parents did you hear what I said and so now we cannot even have a funeral because the son is laying in the funeral parlor and the mother has to go to court Monday with the Muslims to see who's gonna win we're living in a sad day we're living in a day in time now that we need to pray as never before not a day of fighting each other or being jealous or backbiting against each other but we live in a perilous times we live in in Bible times now and then when I got ready to leave my plane left at 6:40 this morning I had to get up very early and I didn't hardly go to bed because I've been speaking on the streets every night this week God's a drug addicts prostitutes god save them [Music] [Applause] [Music] I love speaking on the streets people

of Jonah chapter 1 verse 8 then said they unto Him tell us we pray thee for whose cause this evil is upon us what is thine occupation and whence cometh thou what is that country and of what people are thou then said they unto him tell us look at your neighbor and say tell me what you really are look over NASA's another one say tell me what you really are and I mean I want to know what we really are what really are we we say we're Church of God in Christ we say that we are holy ghost feel five baptized believers my text tonight is everybody say tell us just said again tell us the captains and the marina's aboard the ship was found to tortious and they wanted some straight answers they wanted to know the answer to those questions they wanted to know who was the preachers God they wanted to know who had called and commissioned the preacher they wanted to know what people the preacher belonged to they even asked him honestly tell us we pray thee for whose calls this evil is upon us what is your occupation where did you come from where's your country what people are you from a storm had came up it was not just a sign but it was a furious storm it's a on and against the sea the captain and all the experienced boltzman didn't know what to do but one thing they knew they knew that their lives were extreme danger their lives were in what we call grave danger the boat had already been lightning all of no avail the mighty waves was about to carry the big ship under and the sellers were emptying the ship thinking if they empty the ship the ship would not go under sold to their surprise they have a look there was a man hitting over behind a lot of barriers and the man wasn't just here but he was fast asleep and here was something that made them inquisitive is the fact that this man had paid his fare he was not a bomb he did the slip on the ship most of the time when you see people laying and hiding somewhere on a ship or on the bus a lot of times people say it's a bomb and they didn't pay they are slipping on but this man had paid his man but his presence suggested that there was some strange behavior concerning this man no one that has paid his fare to ride wants to go on second-class way when you pay your fare the ride you want to be treated first-class oh come on now I have a problem dealing with airlines now all of the hot tickets that we pay they give you peanuts and soda there was a time when you got an airline ticket when they first came out you got a four-course meal only the ones in first-class get a four-course meal I've got a problem I have a problem with airlines when they have the sign up there that say first-class and you don't have to get in the regular line when you get in the first-class slide you gotta wait as long as a regular line because they allow the regular line to get in front of the first-class passengers Oh y'all don't hear me but this man was not a second-class man no one who is privileged to ride in the upper deck wants to go down and live in a hole like a common criminal the men who they was not just another seller but he was one of the had certain privileges because this man paid his fare the trained eye of the captain realized something that this person was no ordinary man therefore the captain spoke up and said to the man tell us tell us tell us we pray thee tell us about the evils that we are facing right now all over the world today that same cry can be heard tell us tell us is the crack of poor people into depression and social conditions often without jobs and sometimes without hope tell us is the cry of many sick amendment lives in our world today so many are not just physically sick but I'm here to tell you we've got a lot of mentally sick people walking around you think everybody that's mental it's behind the institution I Got News for you we got mental people in the church what's the matter I know we got mental people in the church ask me why we know who God is we have heard about God we read about God you pray you fast we still walk around with nasty attitude can I be free in here we stand walking around fighting folk over position I've never sit in my seat and get out of the street and witness if a position got to change me up we rather kill somebody when I told to get somewhere in the church so I'll tell fold every day a lot of folk you don't know nothing about them all you do you heard something so you take your head and you go to telling everybody stuff you don't even know to know a person is to live with them so no a person is the world closest to them am i talking good in here I tell folks every day I'm a very hard person to know when I asked me why ask me why don't think you know me because you see me around but I'm a very private person I don't have do drop-ins I don't let folk just come to my house you don't ring my doorbell less I know you coming cuz I don't drink coffee so I want to know why you come in so early I don't take nobody shopping with me and I asked me why because it's my business what I pay for my clothes Oh y'all don't hear me I don't tell folks my business ask me why because when folk get your business then you don't have no business I don't owe you no explanation coz when folk get too close to you they wanna know your history they wanna know who you are where you are come on now what your mama name is what your daddy name is what your husband's name is do you have one how many children you got or where they ain't your business am i doing all right in here young people wrapped up in this generation of instant gratification tell us its what they're saying how can I find the hash thrill in life how can we move off the dead sinner and find life where action is that's what they're saying tell us and whole nation is collectively crying out to the Democrats ran out to the Republicans ran out to the independents saying tell us look at your neighbor and say tell us what is your program for tomorrow tell us what kind of leadership do you have to offer a line then two in a world of so many gods and various religions too often the church's crap and his pulpit seem insane tell us witches is anywhere from the Lord my young sons my young sons and young sons are looking at the pulpit I know y'all don't want to hear my word got a wonderful church tonight confess the night I stop bothering him as long as he's saved sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost I'm not bothering him no more cuz I'm tired of your master me tell us the dying world is out there young women that don't want to be on jobs why we in here fighting like cats and dogs young-min that I'm going to prison why are we in here fighting like cats and dogs then when they walked in the church and they see us in God calls a preacher one may run but one cannot hide there's always a mark of God that he leaves upon those that are called God does this sort of the people might be able to relate better to their Shepherds he is a certain look there is a certain sound in divorce there is a certain personality there is a certain trait that sets the callout apart to do the will of God so that calls the captain of the crew of the boat said to Jonah tell us who is your God y'all don't believe it but your next-door neighbor saying tell us what church we go to why you out there fighting tell us what church you go to cuz I saw you in the grocery store and you weren't acting so nice to the meat man tell us tell us who is your bishop cuz I saw you at the school fighting with the teacher over something you're young Wendy tell us tell us where do you go cuz I saw you on your job telling off the boss man getting me luckily on the job I wanna hear you say tell us look at your neighbor and say tell me who you are there was indeed a Pacific request to Jonah what was a request the request was Todd why this evil Jonah has come upon us the very meaning of that statement implies the fact of divinity ancient men always knew that God was creator of heaven and earth ancient men always knew that behind all the stars was the admissible power and control of God therefore they wanted to know what God what God do you sir I want to know Jonah who do you say what God do you serve where you come from that sure might be a storm that may blow up so much so and tell all of us in here we're in danger of losing our lives storms and troubles and pestilence that means hard times have you ever noticed their ways of making men and women want to know about God when storms come and I'm not just talking about stormy rain and clouds but when storms come I'm told my show those storms how many and some show those storms in your life when folks get shown those storms and they life that's when they want to know about God I was telling folk I was driving the church this week at 6 a.m. the Lord said get up Maria Gardner and you go to church at 6 o'clock a.m. see it's more to it women they've been an evangelist with a licen some folk don't need no license it's more to it than saying what you are and you go out and give big sermons and travel all over the country this year I'd be an evangelist 34 years I've traveled across this country but one thing about when I come home I don't look at myself as no evangelist I roll my sleeves off and clean the toilets in the church and for the six o'clock plane need and all the sunday school ever every Tuesday night we claim we can pay our bills we pay thousands of dollars spend hundred to fly to the different meetings just to grin and speak to somebody if y'all help me I'm gonna talk about it tuna I had a long flight that's a long ride here and I didn't plan it alone to come to make you like me god help me home come storms and troubles have a way of making all of us wanna know more about God people may go along during the times of II and so everything is alright but when furious winds and opposition's begin to blow people realize they need to know more about the will of God hard times in the leg make people wonder is there anywhere from the Lord the rumbling of the earth the flood the fires make us aware that God is not sleep God is very much alive the troubles and the gifts discontent in the lane can no longer be ignored that than somebody say we can't ignore this look over the side and say we cannot ignore it [Applause] they're men and women coming to church crying out tell us tell us [Applause] [Applause] standard semester line we've gotten so man we might as well be honest there was no such thing as a praise team this is noon you don't wanna get race teams
