of further ado he men our kids churches staying upstairs we're gonna be in revival service tonight and with brother he-men bass and that's what the without any further ado was we have a man here evangelist and former pastor and from Ocala Florida evangelizing he was here a few years ago and we've got some new faces since then and I know some of you do not know him Amen but this is a great man of God and his family my family have been entwined before I was even born he's just an amazing man I've seen him probably just the beginning of August he didn't see me but I've seen him at the Arkansas camp meeting and I know I see my dad I think and we just were I was hoping he'd be able to swing back by here soon and this just happened to work out this date just happened to work out in his calendar and I said he gave me a heads up I said let's do it come on and I told him I said man mom and dad I hate it that she's out celebrating her birthday she turned 75 today I know they wanted to see brother/sister pass and just happened to fall on that I know you ain't supposed to tell ladies AIDS but when you get to a certain level it just is it's powerful instead of bad hey man she's 75 she still looks that that great but we're so glad the brother/sister bass is here hey man we're just thankful to god they're with us I know we're in for a treat tonight I've been praying and asking God to send somebody to our church with a divine word from the Lord and I believe we're gonna hear it just tonight I believe God's gonna speak a man without any hesitancy I can say that because I know this is a great man of God I want you to greet him this pulpit with an a man man let's back up preacher [Music] thank you pastor praise the Lord everybody amen ain't nobody happy to be in the house of worship tonight my wife and I are so delighted to be here it is great to see your good pastor and his wife and family again tonight we love them dearly and they're just so happy that this opportunity presented itself and of course we missed the bishop tonight and his wife wish that we could see them but we're so glad to see all these smiling faces that are full of the Holy Ghost here tonight and we're glad to see the rest of you too amen and of course all of these new faces praise God all these young folks teenagers and young singles all you old folks some of y'all getting old around there every time I come you just look older and so I'm telling you and so anyway I told somebody to the dance all my friends were getting old and but we're so happy to be here and I was thinking tonight while they praise singers were doing such a marvelous job leading us in worship some of the songs that they were singing I thought about the English language and how that the English language of course gives those of us who know it an opportunity to express ourselves but not just in words but we have what is called punctuation in our language we make a statement of fact it is typically followed by a period and of course if it's one that is of question there's a question mark at the end but if you want to put emphasis on what you're saying you use an exclamation mark amen and when I go to church I want to use some punctuation in my worship unto the Lord and it's gonna go hey men now then there's some things I put a period behind there's only one god period his name is Jesus period neither is there salvation in any other period you got to be filled with the Holy Ghost baptized in Jesus name period but when it comes to praising him I like to exclaim a few things I am going to shout hallo I'm gonna put an exclamation point on some of my praise to God because he's worthy and the body believe he's worthy tonight hallelujah hallelujah hey man I love the atmosphere that I feel in this place and I do want to try to obey the Holy Ghost so I want to read tonight from the book of the Song of Solomon chapter number five and I want to read verse one two and three and your pastor mentioned about being an Arkansas they can't meeting I did from the platform after speaking to his father on one occasion we met by chance in the in the lobby but I did spy your pastor from the platform I did see him we didn't get a chance to speak and that was my only disappointment I love your pastor man about here lovely pastor today and so I read tonight from Song of Solomon 5 and 1 I am come into my garden my sister my spouse I have gathered my myrrh with my spice I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey I have drunk my wine with my milk eat o friends drink the a drink abundantly o beloved I sleep but my heart wakes it's the voice of my beloved that knocks saying open to me my sister my love my dove my undefiled for my head is filled with new and my locks with the drops of the night I have put off my coat how shall I put it on I have washed my feet how shall I defile them verse number 2 the speaker made this statement I sleep but my heart wakes and I want to preach a few minutes here tonight on this subject my heart wakes amen my heart wakes clap your hands one more time into the Lord giving praise [Music] god bless you you can be seated amen the Song of Solomon is a very beautiful love story if you have read that book you have discovered that there is a great deal of expression in that book where love is concerned and oftentimes when people are reading that passage of Scripture or the entire book of the Song of Solomon now they find it hard to follow they find it hard to understand because the narration moves so quickly between the two main characters and I understand that there are more characters in the book of the Song of Solomon but there are two main characters and sometimes it's hard to keep up with who is saying what however when you read it you do find that it is a story about the beloved and the one that he loves and so I believe without a doubt that we could we could conclude that this book is in reality a love story that typifies the love of Jesus Christ for his church amen and while I know that there are many kinds of descriptions and types that are used to describe the intense love that Jesus Christ as for his church there is a none greater than that you will find than that of the husband toward his life and a wife toward her husband amen and so it is that whenever we read these passages of Scripture you go back to verse number one you find where the beloved or as it would be the Lord since I come into my garden and my sister my spouse and I have gathered my myrrh with my spice and I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey and I have drink I have drunk my wine with my milk and then he says eat old friends drink yay drink abundantly Oh beloved and so what we have in verse number one is a description of a time of banqueting the beloved has provided an opportunity a fellowship an opportunity of communion an opportunity of feasting and everyone enjoy and not just the abundance that has been provided but also the fellowship one with another and I am convinced that every time and that you and I walk through the doors of the house of God that God has the table spread I am convinced that every single thing that you have need of when you come to church the Lord already has provided that that which you have need of our God it's not slack concerning his promises our God has everything that you and I need or ever have needed and all we need to do is walk in the house and avail ourselves of whatever it is that we need in our lives if I come and I'm not worried so much about who's sitting on the right or who's sitting on the left who's before me or behind me I'm only concerned with one thing what have you got from me here tonight Jesus said hey man I've come to praise you I've come to worship you I've come to fellowship with you but I want you to know that God has the table spread where the saints of God are faileth and he invites his chosen people to come and dine somebody praise him right now hallelujah [Applause] Manny Manny man and so I'm convinced that when we come we have the privilege we have the opportunity I believe the Apostle Paul said and my God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory and the last time I checked the bank account of heaven that has not been depleted the last time I checked him a man the storehouse of the Lord that was still overflowing God is not hurting tonight for blessings and God is not hurting tonight for healings and God is not reading tonight for miracle set your pink account may be slim but his is fat to overflowing hallelujah your storehouse set may not have much in it but my god storehouse that's got everything that you need in that storehouse Oh hallelujah and so it is that whenever he offers that opportunity when he brings about that time that he that they could come and that they could enjoy the banquet verse number two she says I sleep but my heart wakes and so verse two switches from the beloved or from the Lord to the one that he loves or as we could say it tonight the church the church speaks and says I sleep but my heart waits em and so I have to tell you tonight that I understand that that sleep for the natural human body is vital and important we know that it's a time of restoration of the physical body and the mind and however when you read the word of the Lord that we find that that sleep in Scripture is often described and as a condition that robbed or a woman of some very important things in life and the reason being is that it's used to describe a man and who has ceased from being productive to one who was lazy and called a sluggard and so verse number nine of Proverbs six he says this how long will you sleep o lugger when will you arise out of your sleep verse 10 yet a little sleep a little slumber a little folding of the hands to sleep verse eleven so shall thy poverty come as one that travela them and I want as an armed man chapter 19 and 15 of Proverbs he said slothfulness cast into a deep sleep and an idle soul shall suffer hunger and last but certainly not least proverbs 20 and 13 and love not sleep let's now come to poverty less open than I said and thou shalt be satisfied with bread and so what we see tonight here said a man one that has fallen asleep at the time of banqueting one that has somehow failed to show up when the Lord was making everything available can I say tonight a man that if we fail to enjoy the banquet of our bridegroom's love it's because there's a debt that stealing over us and we're not as alive as we once were we're not as to wake as we have been in days go by I've come to challenge us tonight in the Holy Ghost that God's got some things for us in 2016 God's got revival God's got glory God's got the miraculous God's got the power and what you and I not allow ourselves to do is to sleep in the hour of Holy Ghost banquet time hallelujah it's time to rise up it's time to be awake it's time to move forward and see the work of God accomplished in these last days he man hey man so he says come drink my beloved I've got everything ready and she says I sleep but in the heart wakes and she says I put off my coat and how shall I put it on I have washed my feet and how shall I defile him what she is saying is hey man I'm sorry but I'm comfortable where I am and I'm happy in the place that I am in and really it's just too much trouble to get up and open the door it's too much trouble to get up and go to respond to the one that that is calling from the doorway a man says she's saying I sleep but my heart wake said I'm sorry but I just don't know if I've got the wherewithal to get up and try again can I tell you Church that it wasn't always that way with that girl it wasn't always that way with that young lady but when you go back to chapter number three and verse number one she says these words said by night on my bed I saw him whom my soul said I saw him but I found him not she said I will arise now and go about the city in the streets and in the broad way said and I will seek him who must soul loveth that I sought him but I found him Potter the watchman that goes about the city found me to whom I said sauly him whom my soul loveth that it was but a little while that i passed from bill man but I found him who my soul I would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house and in the chamber of her that conceived me there was a time she wasn't asleep there was a time when she wasn't comfortable but there was a time when she said I don't care what it takes said I gotta get to the lover I've gotta get to my beloved I've gotta reach for the one that my soul hungers for he-man he-man hope you let me preach here tonight I can only priests what the Holy Ghost sends me to the pulpit to preach come on church hey man hey man I don't choose the message him I said I don't choose the message the Holy Ghost chooses said and I feel the Holy Ghost in this here tonight I feel the touch of God in this place right now come on he praise Him somebody clap your hands come on let's glorify him man the writer of Hebrews in 10 and 32 said the call to remembrance the former days in which after you were illuminated you endured a great fight of afflictions partly while you were made of gazing stock both by reproaches and afflictions and partly while you became companions and of Dillman that were so used to the writer of Hebrews is saying them remember when a man remember when remember when you first got in this remember when you were first illuminated remember when you first got the revelation remember when you first came to the understanding of truth don't you remember that you endured a great fight of afflictions you didn't run Oh hallelujah you didn't back up you didn't you didn't play Oh help me Jesus hallelujah you didn't play games with this set you decided I found what I was looking for I found that this is better than the world this is better than alcohol this is better than drugs this is better than the sand of the world of my life he man he said remember when that you were made a gazing stock both by reproaches and the frictions and partly while you became companions of their man that were so used he said don't you remember when everybody laughed at you because of what you had become whenever your family made fun of you and they mocked you your co-workers on the job your friends your neighbors they smirked and mocked and last but you didn't care hallelujah the only thing you could say was I found him whom I so loved that I found him whom I so loved I come tonight to ask somebody a question but you're still in love with Jesus tonight I said are you still in love with Jesus do you still have a hunger for the Lord of your salvation [Applause] hey man hey man remember when anybody remember when remember when you couldn't wait to get the church well hallelujah remember when you couldn't wait to get to the prayer room remember when you couldn't hide to wait for the next revival service oh come on now remember well that it didn't matter to you how long search lasted how long the prayer service lasted the only thing you care about is you were in church and you were feeling the one that you're so loud that you were happy you were happy about being a church anybody remember when I said remember when man now you're the last one in service and the first one to leave Oh hallelujah priests over the maps hallelujah I've come to tell you tonight we gotta we gotta fall in love with him all over again oh come on church hear me tonight hey man don't you remember you remember when the Holy Ghost got ahold of you and you changed your style of living you change your style of dress you changed where you went you change the places you do it and the places you didn't go there was a change of everything and when folks made fun of you you didn't care that they made fun of you [Applause] I am preach an apostolic holy ghost feel people here tonight I might not I said I am preaching the Holy Ghost filled up past Alex here tonight am I not don't you remember when you first got the Holy Ghost don't you

you who made fun of you you didn't care who was looking and you didn't care who wasn't looking it didn't matter to you hallelujah come on now let me preach I remember I remember growing up in church where we decided how great of a service we had base don't have any bobby pins were in the floor oh yeah hallelujah based on how many bobby pins that we could collect out the service we don't go we we kids that go around collecting them and compare I mean that you get how many did you get that was a sign we had had good church Oh hallelujah anybody remember we're anybody remember well now it didn't matter to you because you love Jesus Christ you were in love with him you loved his word in the band tonight remember the first night you got the Holy Ghost anybody remember how good it felt anybody remember how you went home that night feeling like you were skipping on the clouds in the matter remember when you went home that night he meant it wouldn't matter what anybody said to you it couldn't deter you it wouldn't cause you to back up no matter what they said you were ready to live for God remember when he meant remember when when it all started when it all began it was because you loved him she said my night on my bed I saw him and she said when I couldn't find him there I got up and I went out in the streets to look for him I walked up and down the streets asking folks have you seen the one that must sold us and she said I even found the watchman of the city and I asked the watchman have you seen he said and not very far from then she said I found him whom I so loved and I got a hold of him and I said I'm not letting here go come on we're we're we're not good this thing is just getting started I found you I found you I found you you hear me tonight I don't want to get to a point where that my relationship with him has become stale and stop that and I'm just so used to Jesus Christ that I don't held that same excitement that same enthusiasm I've come to tell you tonight I still love him I still wanna praise Him I still wanna worship Him ha ha hallelujah hallelujah when it all began he's because you loved him you came to church because you loved him you worship him because you loved him amen he changed the lifestyle because you loved him and you want to please him huh but now but now I have to ask you a question amen and then it was because you loved him but has it become now just a situation where you go to church because you don't want to go to hell Jesus hallelujah hallelujah he said are you only here because you don't want to go to hell you know it's right so you're in church because you don't want to miss the rapture lujah now I want to tell you not going to hell it's a pretty good reason for living for God but it's not a good enough reason to live for God because you hear this preacher it can come to a point in your life to where that just going not going to hell might become something quite not so conscious in your thought process it might be something you don't think about so much and the enemy move it on you and destroy your relationship with God I've come to preach to somebody in this house tonight you can't just live for him because you don't want to go to hell you can't just come to church because you know where they go to hell you gotta get in love with him all over again you gotta let Jesus more than life you gotta love Jesus more than the world you gotta let Jesus above everything lujah and the warning I don't want to live for God just to escape hell that's a miserable lifestyle Oh hallelujah you're gonna struggle with everything you're gonna struggle with life you're gonna struggle with sin you're gonna struggle with the problems of life it's all because you're just trying to force your way through but there's something about being in love that there's no price too great and there isn't oh hallelujah there's no effort that's cost too much chef because something inside of you says it's because of him it's the cause of it all man it's because of him I'm where I am tonight asleep but my heart wakes hey man remember when but it all started it was because you loved him but now you just don't want to go to hell you man I hope I hope I can wake somebody up here tonight I may only be preaching on one person in this house but if I'm only preaching on one person I can get you awake one more time and get you enthused about living for God get you excited about a walk with God get you happy about serving the Lord if I can just get that one person I will consider that this service have been a success tonight that this message would have been a success man because I just have a feeling the Holy Ghost tonight that God is trying to reach somebody in this house I believe God listen Church I understand I've been in this all of my life and I have been preaching for over 46 years now and I know how easy it is for people to fall into a state of slumber fall into a place of comfort and just comfortable where you are and not wanting to press all not willing to rise up and move forward I hope tonight I can help you understand that Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever he's not changed he has it aged hey man I know you heard the story but let me tell it tonight lujah old couple driving down the road and she's over in the passenger seat and he's in the driver's seat she looks at him and she says honey remember when I hadn't thought about this story I don't even know when he man it's been years since I thought about this she said remember when he said what's that baby he said remember when I used to sit right there beside you remember when we were young hey man remember when I put my arm around you while you was driving remember when I I'd whisper those sweet nothings in your ear and he said yeah baby I remember how sure do I remember all of that and she goes on and on talking about remember when and after a while he finally looks over at her he says I hadn't moved in man I'm in the same spot I'm right where I always wash what happened to you and I just come to tell you tonight it ain't God I said it ain't God thank God now listen to me priest we're talking to one another over here I know what you're doing you're over there saying I told you so yep I told you the preacher was going to get you tonight you hear me tonight God hasn't changed I said the goddess of glory hasn't changed he's the same he's still God he's changed not he still got the power he still got the glory and I'm gonna tell you something else he still loves you whether you love him or not he still loves you whether you really have that same white-hot love that you had the night you got the Holy Ghost [Applause] [Applause] hallelujah I love coming to Danville you folks love preaching that's just what is why I like to come here hey man I don't know why I've been so lumba since I've been back around here hey man but I just know I like what I feel in this place I like what I feel in this house and I know the Holy Ghost is in this house and I know that the Holy Ghost is on your pastor and I know the anointing of God is on your pastor come on now hey man some of us need to quit looking at the past and look at the future some of us going to quit looking at things that have already long gone and we can start falling in love with Jesus all over again fall in love with Jesus when you get in love with Jesus you'll have eyes for him and not everything else surrounds you [Music] [Applause] he meant she said I sleep but my heart wakes sleep at my heart wakes sleeps the state of danger because you are more vulnerable during a time of sleep than you are at any other time you're not as conscious of what's going on around you you're not as aware of what's happening amen most home invasions take place in the midnight hour it takes place in the darkness of the night that's when home invasions take place when they know that the inhabitants of the house are vulnerable that they are not as aware I've read stories about people that awoke in the night because something just something wasn't right and they awakened to see someone standing beside their bed they are waiting to see so at the foot of their bed that a man and then they knew that danger lurked in the room where they were are you hearing me tonight I'm telling you it's not a time to sleep it's not a time you're to fold or go in your sleep I can't afford to sleep in 2016 I'm 63 years old preaching over 46 years I'm not stopping now I'm gonna stay awake I can't take come on now I can't take it easy I can't find a place to sleep I gotta stay awake sleeps the state of danger Jesus said Matthew 13 and 24 another parable he put forth saying the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field listen and while men slept he meant while being slept his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way and when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit then appeared the tares also it's dangerous to sleep spiritually because that's the time the enemy takes advantage of you amen it doesn't matter how much good seed you have sold into the soil of your life it doesn't matter how much good seed has been planted in your heart when you're asleep the enemy comes along and he starts planting some seeds the tares a man not the wheat not that which is productive not that which is beneficial but that was just destructive he plants that in your spirit whenever you're spiritually asleep a man and the reality is this and this is the danger of it all and that is when you awaken when you awaken you don't even realize sometime what the enemy has planted in your spirit what he's planted in your heart because the tears don't come up overnight and the tears don't even reveal themselves until the harvest time they grow up with the wheat and they look like the wheat everything is the same till it's time to harvest and then your real house I got stuff in my field that I didn't plant there it happened while I was asleep come on there'll be a day when you wake up and you're ask yourself the question where did that bitterness come from where did that anger come from where did these grudges come from [Applause] I tell you where comes from it comes when you're asleep spiritually whenever you're not as awake as you ought to be but my mom might help me Jesus right now hallelujah whatever you're not aware of what's going on the enemy comes in and when you awake and you try to move forward if you start harvesting the good things that you planted you realize I got some stuff growing I got some stuff growing I got to get rid of I said I got stuff growing the guy to get rid of I don't mind telling you tonight I found myself in that condition I have found myself at times in that state that I awakened and when I awakened I realized I got stuff growing in my field that I can't keep letting it grow there I'm gonna happen I'm gonna have to do something I've got to change that a man that I've got to change the character of my feel that I can't live with this bitterness in my heart I can't live with this anger in my spirit I can't live with all of this down in my soul I gotta cleanse my heart I got to get rid of that stuff that the enemy came along and planted while I was asleep asleep but my heart wakes he meant when we sleep spiritually the enemy comes and sews things into our life that might not be evident right away amen he will you know when King Solomon came to the throne scripture tells us his first case that came to his attention that needed his wisdom was to women amen one had a dead baby in her arms and one had a live baby are you here in my church and they came to present their case because what had happened was that these ladies lived in the same home and very likely slept in the same room and they both had a baby and during the night one of them rolls over on her child and suffocates it it dies in her bed and she realizes her baby's asleep and she says what shall I do and she sees the mother across the way with her life baby she takes her dead baby in the blackness of night in the darkness of the midnight hour she comes over there and in a very sneaky manner and she lays the dead baby in that other woman's arms and she takes the laid live baby out of that woman's arms and the next morning the woman wakes up and she looks a man and she's holding a baby she's holding a child and I trust that I'm not in any way tonight creating any kind of undue hardship on somebody's emotions or minds and I'm because of an experience that you might have had but I got to preach this tonight a man bare with me and be patient with me if you've been under that kind of a situation I'm sure there's nothing like waking up and having a dead baby in your hands but be that as it may she wakes up and here she is looking in the eyes of a lifeless child a man she says she says this is not my child this is not what I went to sleep with this is not what I hailed whenever I lay down last night somebody has changed my life baby for this dead baby and so the conflict became so great that they brought it before Solomon and as they're standing before Solomon the mother whose baby had been stolen from her she's given her testimony listen to what her testimony is and she says she arose at midnight talking about the other woman and she took my son from beside me while thy handmaid slept and she laid it in her bosom and laid her dead child in my bosom a man in the midnight hour she took my baby and she gave me her dead baby but it happened while I was asleep if I had been awake it would have never happened if I'd have been awake she never got my baby if I'd have been awake out of thought her I don't let her know you're not stealing my baby from me are you hear me tonight search hey man I want to tell you if we're not careful we'll go to sleep spiritually and the enemy will come here in the darkness of that hour and he will switch out hey man that thing that we precious said in our sight that was sweet love that that was we held so close to our heart he'll slip in and you'll take your lie baby from you and you'll put a dead baby that's the place he'll put a bait my mom might help me Jesus he'll put a baby there that looks like what you used to have that he'll have eyes they'll have hands and I'll have feet he'll have a mouth and a nose but it won't have any life to it you'll have everything but life it will have everything but life so were you talking about preacher let me give you another example real quick to tie the two together the Bible tells us this all goes down to the Witch of Endor and there he of course I don't want to get into all the details of that but you know enough of the story I'm sure whatever be the case he said he's there working with a spiritual a demonic pipe for said and and the Bible tells us that when he leaves the Witch of Endor and he's going down the road that the Bible said that that he prophesied as before and when you go study that very carefully what it's saying is this while some would say that's they heard him prophesied and the reason they said he prophesied us before is because it looked like what he did the first time when he was anointed as Samuel to be the king over Israel and when he left Sam of the Spirit of God came upon him and he began to prophesy that was his first experience and so when he left the Witch of Endor they said that he prophesied as before in other words it looked like what he did the first time it sounded like what he did the first time but when you study that phrase said what it's really saying in Seth that it looked like it and it sounded like it but it wasn't the real thing he was prophesying by a familiar spirit he-man he prophesied and it sounded like it it looked like it but it wasn't the real thing what he now was doing man it had been switched out the enemy had made a switch on him and what God had let him do before now the enemy's letting him do it again and it's nothing more than a spirit of deception I Got News for you tonight I refuse to come to the house that was shot I refuse to say I'm a scene of God but all I've caught there it's something that used to look like what I had I still dressed the way I used to dress said I still lift my hand and said but I got no life I got no life you hear me tonight the enemy will switch babies with you the devil will give you and will allow you to have what appears to me a relationship with God but he knows that it's not real and you know that it's not real especially when you wake up especially when you wake up when you wake up you realize I don't have the life I used to have I don't have the joy I used to have I don't have the enthusiasm I used to have I sleep hey man I got a hurry and I know that I don't want to preach all night but this thing's in my spirit this thing's in my heart tonight I I know I know what I feel I know what I feeling the Holy Ghost somebody shout praise the Lord a man here here we find another example in Scripture and we find a man by the name of Samson who his who is at the seer if you please that looked like his friend are you hearing me it looked like his friend you hear me tonight the enemy is not your friend he comes as an angel of light oh yes he does hallelujah he comes as an angel of light he comes pretending he's your friend but he's our adversary he is your enemy he is a wolf in sheep's clothing and Delilah says Samson do you love me but I she said then tell me where your strength lies tell me where your strength lies so well you know what they tied me with seven green wits that have never been tried I'll be weak like any other man and he lays his head down and he goes to sleep what does she do she brings her cohorts and they start tying him up with seven green Wis amen and they wake him up and he wakes up and when he wakes up he flexes his muscles because the Holy Ghost the Spirit of God is still working with him come on now he's awake he's not yet crossed the border he's not yet crossed the line he's playing come on he's playing games and so he awakens in his he flexes his muscles and he's got the ability to break that's the seven green whisks and she's embarrassed and so again she starts pulling with his emotions and she says to him the second time yes Samson do you love me well yeah I love you said well where does his strenght lie he said time he was seven gross a man time he was seven ropes that had never been huge step and I'll be weak like any other man he goes to sleep again you hear me tonight the worst thing you can do is engage in conversation with the devil and then go to sleep after that hey man that's what he's gonna take advantage of you hallelujah hallelujah I want to wake somebody up tonight in the house the timer and then they wake him up and he's got the strength and he breaks the ropes and then they weave the seven locks of his head again he's sleeping he's sleeping Wheaton root weaving the seven locks of his head and he wakes up and that don't stop him either man how many times does God have to wake us up I said how many times do we have to wake up and realize I've got some things on me I got to get loose' them hey man how many times are we going to go to sleep and then God's gotta wake us up to help us understand the enemy's had work in our life she said Samson you lied to me you said you loved me where does her strengths lie and he says I have been a Nazarite from my mother's womb and said if you will cut my hair I'll be weak like any other man and he goes to sleep and this time when he wakes up and the enemy is upon him no strength because he went to sleep too many times I said he went to sleep too many times he went to sleep one too many times and Samson said if you would do this I would be weak like any other man I'll be weak like any other man did it ever dawn on you that Samson had been toying with the idea of what would it be like to not have to have all this consecration and all this devotion he couldn't go into a banquet without first somebody going in there making sure that there wasn't no grape juice being served there what no no no no fruit of the vine that was being served he couldn't be in the same room with it he couldn't walk into a house without someone going in and making sure everybody was alive in that house that there was no dead body in there the consecrations of an answer right were very strict they were very stringent but look what it did for him it gave him power Oh hallelujah it gave him power and I want to tell someone the Holy Ghost tonight don't get tired of your consecrations don't get tired of your devotions don't get tired of your separation don't get tired that's what makes you what you are the Holy Ghost living inside of you along with your spirit of separation your lifeless separation is what makes you are what you are before God but he toyed with what it would be like to just be like everybody else just just be like everybody else he toyed with that idea and the most dangerous thing you can do is start toying with the idea of what it would be like to just be like everybody else in the world just go out here and do what everybody else is doing here's your problem a meant the worst thing that Simpson thought was this and that was I will be like everybody else he thought that that was the worst thing that could happen to him is that he would be weak like every other man but he didn't realize it could get worse than that because it wasn't long before they had his eyes plucked out it wasn't long they had him bound and he's out there walking around the grist mill grinding hey man they're using him like a beast of labour out there pulling the meal are you hearing me Church a man he's he he is working at the hands of the enemy he thought that the worst thing that could happen and folks think that backsliding the worst thing that could happen to me is I'll just go out and be like the rest of the world you don't understand what you're doing when you go out there the enemy is gonna take you deeper than you've ever been before he's gonna wreck your life he's gonna destroy your virtue he's gonna destroy your conscious self he's gonna take away from you everything you ever got in God Lulu you sleep sleeps the state of inaction it's the time when there's no productivity it's the time when nothing's going on amen it's time when there's no worse sure it's the time there's no prayer it's the time when there's no effort on your part to reach out to anybody else anybody ever saw two-year-old that didn't want to go to sleep huh I raised three of them and helped raise ten others 10 grandkids amen and I've seen the two-year-olds they bounced off the sofa off the wall they're running around the house they're making a race track through the living room the kitchen the dining room all the way to the family room and going around and around and you're somebody look since they just fight and sleep what are they doing fighting sleep how are they fighting sleep they're fighting sleep because they're moving they know that if I can just keep moving I won't go to sleep and that's what I'm doing when I'm living for God and when I come to church folks want to know why you're raising your hand because I want the enemy to know I'm not asleep I'm not asleep and I'm not going to sleep why are you up there shouting and dancing because I'm not asleep and I'm not going to sleep you're not trading my baby for a dead baby and you're not planting a bunch of garbage in my field I'm gonna stay awake I don't care what it takes I'm gonna stay awake I don't care what it takes I'm gonna live for God [Applause] musicians come let's give them some hope hallelujah Stan what are you doing what do you doing I'm staying awake that's what I'm doing I'm not going to sleep it's too late to go to sleep hey man I'm gonna miss something if I'm gonna miss revival if I go to sleep I'm gonna miss hit somebody get the Holy Ghost if I go to sleep I'm gonna miss hitting the blessings of God upon the church if I go to sleep or hallelujah I'm not going to be as aware of what God is doing if I go to sleep I [Music] can't afford to sleep I can't afford to sleep she said I sleep but my heart wakes and so I submit to you - not the one a believer feels like that they're not what they ought to be and they're not what they want to be they can't be happy you can't be happy coming to church and knowing you're not what you're supposed to be and you can't be happy coming to church knowing that you are not what you want to be you can't rest you can't be content amen but the believer that might be asleep but their heart is awake something inside is being heart palpitates with dire unrest something inside and saying you can't stay where you are and so in the heart is the seat of desire at the heart is the seat of desire if the heart wakes there's hope God can work somebody Herman tonight God can work with the heart that's awake there's hope if your heart wakes [Music] something might you might be saying but-but-but back it's too much trouble I don't want to get out of where I am I don't want to put my clock back on I don't want to put my shoes on but something inside begins to compel you and you say

open the door to Jesus because only he can make the difference in your life [Music] how close tonight but telling you that the Lord doesn't always come to us at convenient times and he always doesn't always come to us at regular times God doesn't always come in convenient times in fact sometime the Lord can show up in your deepest darkest and trial and he wants to know [Music] do you still love me

it a prayer sake in your arms in your [Music] my relationship ooh [Music] hallelujah praise the Lord I remember we invited brother bass to teach us are some of our married young marrieds in a marriage seminar Indianapolis no if he remembers this or not he started it off by using the scripture about mending the nets and he talked about having to work on nets in a relationship mending the nets making sure that they're ready and I got to thinking tonight he said that about being in love with him it's not the same as not wanting to go to hell and I got to thinking about being married it's not the same as just I'm with this person because I don't believe in divorce I'm not this a marriage class I'm just trying to give you an understanding when you love somebody it's a whole lot easier to not argue it's a whole lot easier listen if you love somebody it's it's a whole lot easier to be faithful of that person and when you love Jesus it doesn't seem like you're in a bondage relationship when you're in love with him you want to be what he wants you to be you want to give up some of these things that we call separation hallelujah I told you before you know my wife doesn't have to ask me not to go to Hardee's with a woman he mentioned she it's just reality she is married to me and I'm married to her it requires some faithfulness and I love her I want to show her I love her every day and I think it needs to be the same thing with Jesus we should not be trying to push him to see how far we can go without going to hell we should be trying to figure out what else do you want me to do god I want to renew our relationship I want to love you I love you man I don't want to reap reach a message that's not good etiquette but I want to say what a man of God that just delivered this to us I appreciate his word tonight that got delivered to us I appreciate the word of the Lord hallelujah I feel like that's where our church is I haven't told anybody I said only told one person my vision for next year I feel like the Lord just spoke it to me in prayer and I feel like I have it and it's coincides goes right along with it he meant the vision for next year I feel like the biggest thing for the Church of this hour is it we are falling asleep and the Bible says that when it gets close to that last time when he's telling that parable of the 10 and the five wise and the five foolish he said all of them slept and the wake-up call had to come and I hope we heard the wake-up call tonight the bridegroom is coming back a saint of God sent me something right before church were you meant think men they there was a bulletin came across I guess his phone or whatever and he sent it to me said Fox News it was reporting that Vladimir Putin has called on all of the overseas people home and and he's trying to get them active in and I thought man this world's a mess this is no time to be sleeping in this hour man they meant everything that's going on not only overseas but in our nation this is no time to be asleep come on church it's time to wake up it's time to wake up let our heart wake up God amen thank you brother best sister best for coming I know they Eman it was they give
