Fire Shutup in my Bones

so once again let's stand and let's give a warm welcome once again talk to brother Torrance Nash Columbus Mississippi praise the Lord come on and give the Lord praise tonight praise the Lord you may be seated in the presence of the Lord god bless you thank the Lord for everything and I'm not in a hurry but I feel that the Lord has given me a word for the service tonight so if you have your Bibles could you go ahead and turn to Jeremiah chapter 20 Jeremiah chapter 20 and we'll begin the reading at verse 7 I just want to encourage your hearts tonight as we leave here you leaders and pastors and youth pastors young people who feel the call of God to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ whatever the case may be whatever you do do not quit do not quit there's going to be some tough times there's gonna be some hardship it's going to be some hot persecution but no matter what you can't quit Jeremiah chapter 20 and verse 7 says O Lord thou has to deceive me and I was deceived thou art stronger than I and has prevailed I am in derision daily every one mocking me for since I spake I cried out I cried violence and spoil because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me and a derision daily then I said I will not make mention of him nor speak any more in his name for his word was in my heart but his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus I've been here and if you're called by God you know what I'm talking about I wanted to stop but the word was like a fire shut up in my bones and I could not stay for I heard the defaming of many fear on every side report say they and we will report it all my familiars my friends watched for my halting saying peradventure he will be enticed and we will prevail against him and we shall take our revenge on him and I want to just read one phrase I never do this but I'm going to read one phrase in this eleventh verse but the Lord is with me come on somebody tonight but the Lord is with me the Lord is with me and I want to minister tonight just a few moments on this subject the Word of God is like fire shut up in my bones the Word of God is like fire shut up in my bones let's for Heavenly Father we thank you tonight for the privilege an opportunity once again to preach to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ Lord I asked tonight for your help acts that you would anoint us and anoint for people to hear what I believe that you've given us for the service and we give you the praise and the glory and we ask it all in Jesus name and everyone said and amen again as I said in the beginning I'm not in a hurry tonight that's not my intent and I know we kind of joke about that but you know Sunday nights I don't know we've been here all week long and many of you are tired brother done is ready to go to bed but I felt the Lord dealing with me just a couple of days ago concerning this message probably Thursday and and I've been praying about it and praying about it and this morning I felt the Lord literally just begin to deal with me even more about this message and I believe tonight as Jeremiah and I won't go into all of the history of whatever the case may be tonight but as we look at his life of course we know that the Lord called him and the Lord told him when you read the first part of the Book of Jeremiah that he even before he was formed in his mother's belly the Bible says that God knew him and that he had sanctified him set him apart called him to be a prophet to the nation's before he was even born and God called him as a young man and Jeremiah in response to the call told the Lord he said I'm only a child I'm only a youth not so much as a young child but he was young in age but how many of you know tonight age doesn't matter with God it's not about how old you are it's not about all of that it's about you surrendering to the Lord and I'm surrendering to his way and his will and the Lord's response to Jeremiah in him saying that he was a young man was this and this is the response of all of us tonight I know you're young but I am with you that matter how flawed we are that matter what background you come from and all of us come from different walks of life but at the end of the day if you are called by God to preach or whatever the case concerning the work of God all of us have one and that is to preach to support to pray and to I mean for the work of God and the furtherance of the gospel of Jesus Christ that's our calling that's our responsibility as Christians tonight but here's the thing that I want you to hear me say tonight behind every preacher who is called by God is a story behind every one who mounts this pulpit in other words there's no preacher who's called by God who just so happens to show up behind the sacred desk there has been a tall there has been some pain there has been some failure there have been some tears that happen sometimes I use throw your hand up inside just can't or don't want to do this anymore because Jeremiah was being persecuted and as we get even to the 20th chapter I mean he had been talked about yes but now we get to a place in his life what he is now having to endure bodily harm what do you do when you're being persecuted and you're hurting and then the persecution gets worse the heat kind of gets turned up a little bit as though you weren't suffering enough already and now you begin to go through more well now Jeremiah is taken because of his preaching he is beaten with the lictors lash he is putting stops standing outside saints of God humiliated in front of everyone beaten and he got to a place of just saying you know and I'm gonna be practical here I wonder if it's worth all of this I mean do I just keep going I mean do I keep prophesying and I want to make this point I was reading today then brother Swaggart made a statement think about something I mean he prophesied in a day and jam I really didn't get great results because some forty years have passed and you think about it Judas still went into Babylonian captivity they still refused to surrender to God but he kept preaching he kept prophesied and as he was every God called Minister in this day will be persecuted and the hard part is this passion the man in the text tonight was chief governor not in Egypt not in the surrounding nations but he was chief governor in the house of the Lord the hottest persecution came from right within the church think about that tonight the people who named the same God that you do the people who called the same Jesus that you do that's where the heat of the battle if you read Jesus it was the Church of that day was not the whoremongers it was not the homosexual community it was the church that crucified him the religious leaders and I know we've talked about that a lot I've heard religion religion all we long because that is the greatest narcotic the greatest threat to the work of God is religion the passion and Jeremiah the true church and the religious church and they did everything they could to shut Jeremiah down and to stop him here he is in stocks standing outside humiliated upset it came to this place you know Lord this is your fault before you get deep look at yourself you called me you called me to preach to these people and now look at what but see it's funny that Jeremiah forgot what God told him I want to read this verse 19 of Jeremiah chapter 1 he said they shall fight against you but they shall not prevail against you for I am with you says the Lord to deliver you now that was the promise but when he calls you I'm going to be with you he's with me preach again but he has promised us he will not leave us but he forgot that promise he said Lord you deceived me you didn't tell me all of this my own brother's my close friends are setting traps for me I mean what do you do people who say you're my buddy you're my friend that's why I've always encouraged young people listen we throw the word friend around a little too loosely for me I'm just I think I mean the Bible says the brother is born for adversity I mean propers I mean a friend is there but you'll find out where your friends are when you start going through job you find out who who's really in your corner and that circle gets a little smaller when you're going through especially when you're down and God forbid you fail Jeremiah let me say this thank God for people who don't walk away from you when you're down somebody got here me now thank God for people who say I'm still I'm not ashamed to call you friend I'm not ashamed to support you even though you messed it up I am with you thank God for those people but let me tell you it's only a few of them because most will walk away because they don't want to be associated with your drama you're hurt in your pain and Jeremiah says listen he said they're coming against me then I said I'm not gonna preach about him anymore I'm done with this and every indication is that for a while Jeremiah stopped preaching stop prophesy now won't you think about that but you look at the the great straight that he was in if I preach I hurt if I don't preach I'm hurt I mean if I keep preaching they're going to talk about me they're going to try to kill me they're going to accuse me and if I don't preach there's a burning fire in my heart that just won't let me sit down on the call I'm telling you tonight I'll never forget and I've never shared this here and I won't go in the great details but I'll say this part in 2010 I didn't even know sunlight Broadcasting Network had kicked off but the opening service I believe was April 18 2010 and the reason I remember that is because the Lord changed my life that day I was laying in my bed at night and I was angry and I told Mario listen man I'm done I'm not preaching again I'm through with it this cross and all of this this stuff is not real man I said I'm done with it I'm I won't I won't open my my mouth again I know we've preached and whatever has happened this happened but I cannot keep going I literally lay down in my bed that night angry and would not even open the Bible Saints would not pray and I turn on the TV brother done it was preaching I was mad at you cuz I didn't like what he was preaching because I was wrong it's easy to point out everybody else's error but I was long in the way I was filling it doesn't matter what people do to you Saints it's how we respond to whatever happens in our lives you can blame and blame and blame and blame you won't change until you can have an experience like Joseph and have an EEPROM and Melissa forget it and then you can be fruitful in your life with God and I've never felt this before but before he closes I don't even remember what he preached I was that upset it's funny I got baptized with the Holy Spirit under his ministry and I came back to preaching again under his ministry he walked up to that camera right there in front of me and I'm not lying he said there's a preacher out there right now he said you've hung up your Bible he said you've said you won't preach again I literally upon my bed and he said you keep preaching you keep preaching somebody give God praise my god I feel them shut up sign up below bokya where it's a hard time Isaiah said how long shall abridge you break up to the city to the houses are desolate you keep Britain until the prostitute is saved return until the drunk comes home Bridget saints are gone give it ways tonight [Music] what do I do print it if you don't know but one burst open the John

we've seen drug addicts get saved the same about me I'm not lifting up flesh but when God told you something is going to come out of it st. Joe myself down preach it in your name you're the cause of this but I feel something my lord I feel something in my spirit I feel something in my heart when I hung up the Bible I felt it it was a father I couldn't shake it shut up in my bones see you got Christians who can't speak and then you got Christians who cannot help but speak and say I cannot help but speak I can't help but reach this ain't no perfect preacher bitter night this is a young man that's been down this is a young man that's blown it this is a young man from drugs and alcohol and poverty but look what the Lord [Applause] I don't have a Doctorate degree I'm not interested in driving a bitly I'm not interested in the 50 million dollar house I just won I move the Holy Ghost [Music] singers or musicians come on somebody said don't stop shouting with me come on somebody now my lord y'all know I'm kojic so if he hits that organ I'm not gonna tell them to but I might dance in here I feel something I feel something some of you almost quit some of you almost gave up but you said something my god the old Saint use just say [Applause] somebody give God a prize give him a real place give him prize I think you're their prize what not gonna move out of here bow down we're gonna leave free without leave with the Bible I won't stop preaching I won't stop crying Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus eats us give God praise Allah [Applause] it's like fire [Applause] fire [Applause] fire somebody god [Applause] Hey I feel that it's like fire shut up in my bones come around this front if you can't hear tonight come on pick it up and sing something right now Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] hello somebody order shout tonight somebody oughta shout in this place I can't stop I won't stop I can't stop I won't stop I can't stop towards Ella's a word from God tonight and I believe some of you needed to hear that it's like paya shut up in my bones we want to take up an offering for brother Torrance here he's blessed us here this week and he's blessed us tonight and I want you to do me a favor we've got the offering box
