Brooks will be favoring us with God's Word on this evening now we have about an hour allotted to us on this telecast today and we want to call your attention to the word of the Lord I struggled in my mind what to minister sort of a preacher quandary and preaching may look easy to non preachers but I assure you it is not doesn't matter how many times you preach every every time you get up it's a new assignment and we need the help of God and you know some folk our preacher critics but that's cause they're not preachers today man when you have to preach you take on a whole nother perspective when I started preaching a man everybody became a good preacher y'all get that after a while a man because I knew my turn was coming and so I learned not to be such a critic but I learned to be a prayer a man that God would bless and send his word but I was in a quandary today so much so I called man I called pastor and I just needed a word of affirmation from him today and he told me to stick with what the Lord had put in my heart and what I've been working with the last several days and so I'm gonna I'm gonna obey those that have the rule of the mean and I'm gonna ask you to go with me to the book of First Samuel chapter 30 and verse number eight and I solicit the prayers of those who are in this room and and even those who are watching this telecast I solicit your prayers on today and I'm gonna stay right where I was right in the middle of this verse there is a question in verse eight and it says shall I pursue right in the middle of that verse says in David inquired at the Lord saying then I just want to click those three words shall I pursue I'd like us to read those three words together this time aloud in unison shall I pursued and let's just say it one more time that let it radiate in this room and radiates throughout the world everybody few decibels higher in your voice box this shout out cell I pursue the Lord bless you and you may be seated in the presence of the Lord we are reading today from a very powerful text and as you can see sometimes technology is good it lets you down and I pulled out my iPad and it locked up on me and so I had to pull out the trusty Apostolic phone man when it came to my rescue today but um there's something here today that I'm very concerned about and I'll confess to you that I've been on a mandate about the last week and a half even as I've tried to pivot elsewhere I continually I'm drawn back to this text to these words and and I've been sort of sprinkling it along the way and sprinkled it one Sunday morning in Detroit another Sunday evening in Indianapolis then I started salting it along the way here to our holy convocation and it looked like the more I stayed in it a little bit more the Lord seemed to be saying to me from this text these words I think have gradients a great inspiration for the body of Christ they're informational even though they're words that we've read countless times and I'm sure in countless convocations somewhere somebody has read these words in our churches in our very Bibles these words have been rehearsed in our ear time upon time and time again but I've also found out that no matter matter how many times we have God's Word rehearsed in our hearing it's important some time that we are called back to those things which we have already heard sometimes it's the things that we have heard that we have not really heard things that we have listened to and they become so commonplace that the freshness of them is lost upon us and sometimes the implication of those things are lost upon us and I think some time that this text is is maybe one of those texts because it talks to us in in the spectrum of our walk with God and I think it informs us as to how we are to walk with God I'll suggest to you this afternoon that at the outset of reading this text that what is implied here is not a one-time event it really is something that should inform the continuity of our existence it's a mindset it's not just an action it's not just one single activity but it's something that children of God and if we're really truthful it's something that the entire human race should be doing as they are planted here in the earth God didn't put us here just to be automatons and robots God put us here with specificity there's a word that's roaming around in in various corridors today in the business spectrum and yes even in the church spectrum and you're hearing it more and more the word is intentionality and that's a very important word because it means that we don't do things just to do things but that we do things with a purpose there's something behind what we do there's something behind our endless Massa Nations because all of us know you can live life robotically and not only can you live life robotically you can do Church robotically hey man but what I mean by that we're just doing it because we're doing it and we've been doing it so long until we do it pretty good but we do it mindlessly there's nothing at the end there's no obvious goal people live like that they get up they eat they go to bed to get up they eat they go to bed they go to work they go play to come home they go to bed and they just live their life and sort of a monotonous out working but sometimes there really is no intentionality and there really is no goal but may I submit to you early on that God put us in this earth for purpose none of us are here to live aimlessly and while I suggest to you that we're not here to live aimless they also want to remind you that you and I are not here to live for ourselves and you here people often times talk about I'm gonna do my thing well it would be alright for you to do your thing if it was your thing but but it's not your thing the psalmist put it on this wise and and he asked arrogant mankind he said know ye not that it is the Lord that have made us and not we ourselves the only way we get to beat our own drum and do our own thing is is that we would have had to have created ourselves but we didn't make ourselves God made us God spoke us into existence God is the one that caused us to be here in the earth I've been telling the Saints that I pastor that nobody is an accident and I know some of y'all been told that regrettably some of y'all your momma told you that daddy told you that you were an accident but I wanna I wanna correct that in your mind you were an accident for them but you won't purpose with God there's something something something about the awesomeness of God something about the power of God and one day we're gonna get that figured out we're gonna understand that God is truly omnipotent that God is truly in control and and he's so much in control that his omnipotence see is intertwined with his omnipresence and his omnipotence he and omnipresence is intertwined with his omniscience he's over everything and he's everywhere at the same time and I don't have time to go in all of that but if God is everywhere at the same time that's what it means he's everywhere at the same time and somebody wants to know well when is he everywhere at the same time right now hey man right now he's in the past present and future I wish I had a pray in church right now right now he's everywhere he's got everything covered because not only is he in it he is around it he surrounds time can I get a witness he comes out of eternity he lives in eternity and because he comes out of eternity and lives in eternity it means he controls time matter of fact he said I'm so much in charge until I declare the end from the beginning amen I spoke it before it ever happened I put it in place I said it's boundaries I said its limitations and I told time how to operate and I and I want the devil to know God God don't just put it in my mind he says he wants the devil to be reminded that I'm in control of you you can't do no more than what I let you do and sometimes Satan thinks he's doing this thing working a trick and I'm coming back to that point because you know people make mistakes and people make the fuddle medicine and Satan and his crafty self because he's the father of lies and a master of deception has transformed himself into an angel of light sometimes he thinks he's doing more than what it really is and and sometimes people get all gummed up because we don't understand how great God is but I just want to remind you that God is so great until he even calculates your mistakes into his flash a man a man he knows he knew when you was gonna mess up and I know we don't like to talk about less up and dropping the ball and and when we're saying that we're not endorsing people messing up and dropping the ball but but everybody somewhere has messed up and dropped that ball and some people get a little self-righteous just because you didn't drop the same ball you drop something never something everybody everybody help me preach for a moment wake yourself righteous neighbor up and tell them something wrong with you somewhere something out something been twisted no matter how holy and pious you look today hey man you may be holy in pass the day but it's because Jesus cleaned you up yesterday got sure together hello somebody put your life in order put you on the light spectrum but so so but we make mistakes and and the Lord overruled Satan and and he is in control of the mistake and it takes that mistake and transforms it into a source of our elevation he takes our mistaken and he lets us learn from it and when Satan sent it to take us out God uses it to make us a better set there's something something about God and his power in His Majesty and and so he's there he's embedded in our life and I want everybody just help your neighbor real quick and tell him God created you with a purpose God now now just take it another way since your neighbor may be saved tell him he saved you with a purpose save you with a plan I've put you in this earth with a plan and I want you to know that's true even in the scripture because you got to understand that God is working in the scripture we don't get to this question happy acid we don't Mandor to this text haphazardly God set this text up at the end of 1st Samuel God you know he's in control of all of his word and and he's really embedded in everything in Scripture that I've been learning over the years that there's no scripture that should be dismissed there's no scripture that we can take for granted everything in God's Word is important Jesus referenced it he let us know it because when he talked about the word and he talked about Amen how strong God's Word he did how enduring the word of the Lord is jesus said heaven and earth shall pass away said but my words shall not pass the wind he broke the word down he said every job in every tittle and and when he talked about the job until he was talking about the smallest itching Amen that describe can make on the popper it's a man before you get the words a little actions that make up the syllable God said I'm in control of everything and everything in my word is important everything and my word is potent everything in my word has behind it purpose and so everything we need to pay attention to and and so there's purpose here Israel we're talking about but you can't talk about Israel without collecting all of the other books that bring Israel together we don't have time to to rehearse all of that but but the Israel that's in this text is is a Israel that has evolved it's an Israel that has developed they didn't get here overnight there was no snapping of the finger and sometime you know again I struggle with church folk as a whole because we pretend as if there is no developmental process kid like nobody has to bro nobody a man goes from point A to point B you know nobody comes in the church amen spiritually mature they have to be mature then and they have to grow and help the process and and down through the years we've lost a lot of folk cuz we don't give God time we want to we want people to to flow like we want them to flow and do like we want them to do but I've learned I've learned even as a pastor sometime the best thing to do for your members is to get out of God's way you're trying hello somebody you don't go for God grows folk you don't develop people God develops people sometimes we get in there and truncate the process but if we look at the scripture people grew people came together Israel as a corporate entity they had to come together you know you know the Bible if we can quickly reference and frame the first five books of the Bible that we know as the pentacle their God God was bringing Israel together he was giving them structure he was giving them impetus he was giving them purpose and and even when he called them he called them out with a purpose you go to Genesis the first book of the Pentateuch and there you find Israel called visuals called out we're in the loins of Abraham God called Israel out you remember he went down in the land of County Earl of the counties told Abraham come out from the kids but get out from your mother's house to a land that I will show thee and then back behind that back behind that God had a purpose God had a purpose and he told Abraham in so many words I'm gonna shine through you but this is how I'm gonna do it he said if you obey me he said I'm gonna make your name great I'm gonna take your hello somebody I'm gonna make your grade you ain't gonna have to make yourself great I'm gonna make your grade you're not gonna have to beat your chest and parade your self around the convocation dancing and swinging and telling everybody how important you are you won't need no swag all you don't have to do is obey me if you obeyed me and honor me he said I'm gonna make your name great but I'm not making your name great for you for y'all in hearing what I'm saying see some people miss it cuz everything is about them but this ain't about us is all about him this is God's church he'll owe somebody this is God's kingdom and let me just remind everybody we are all onstage for God til I get a witness we're all in this play and in this act for God God is the director he tells us hello somebody you can't get on this stage and ad-lib and do your pardon all the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord he's directing us everybody tell somebody the Lord is directing he's showing us the way we need to go the path we need to try then and so that was for Abraham he said I'm gonna make your name Greg he said and then and then I'm gonna make a great nation out of them I'm not doing this just for you I'm doing it for posterity I'm putting you on assignment don't but don't get the big head I didn't raise you up so you could poke out your chest but I raised you up so you could pull somebody else up not just for you too many for me too many for living for themselves too many for one all the glory hello somebody some people that you think I want so much glory you can't hardly sit next to because they take all the room in a chair y'all they said that arms all over in your space hello amen but God said God said in my kingdom there's room for everybody give my kingdom in my kingdom hello somebody tell your neighbor give me some room up in here so we could I'll tell your neighbor give me some room don't get all we got to work this thing together we got the flow for God to get I'm blessing you Abraham because out of you is gonna come forth a great nation and that nation is gonna bless all the nations of the earth I don't know why you don't know why I told you but I told you because I want to design from you Israel is gonna be my priest nation and and now I'm going to develop you you're gonna grow you're gonna grow it starts with a seed and and then when the time is right the seed is gonna come forth and sometimes we we abort the promise because we don't want to wait on the progress set and that messes a lot of people up there are a lot of people that serve God impatiently and because they're impatient their frustration they're frustrated because the promise has not come to pass but but it ain't God frustrating you it's you frustrating yourself hey man you got to learn how to trust God enough to wait on God if he said it how many know if he said it he gonna do it if he said it he's gonna bring I bless others in a faith church how many know if the Lord said it it must has got to come it's got to come God God said whatever I say hey man it has to happen now he said not only do I expect you to be obedient he said my word got to be obedient hey man my word I control my word I'm in charge of my word and he said I send my word out on missions I send my word men I need to stop everybody need to tell somebody there's a word still out on you right now there's a word oh yeah there's a word the world there's a word y'all don't believe that there's a word out on you flowing around in the ethos it's in the atmosphere hello sematic a word God when did God said I know you got a neighbor they've been messing with your wind did he say I'm gonna tell you when he says he said it in eternity he spoke it before he made the world he called out your name and and sent out a word and and and and then the word the word the word he sent out he told it what to do about you and for you and then he told the word he said I don't want you to come back he said you got to stay out til it's done if you come back without it's done you gonna make me a lot but I told it when I sent it out my word can't come back to me boy [Applause] got to happen then they move on in a hurry you maybe see it but I need you to tell your neighbor on either side and you tell them softly but strongly it's got to happen it's got to happen AHA say it say it be a little redundant with be a little repetitive with it it's got to happen it's got to happen don't give up it's got to happen don't get down and stuff to happen don't get that let's just gotta hold it I spoke to it about you in a I said don't come back take a hill then I spoke there I said don't come back until you save the whole family I spoke [Applause] Abraham had to learn that he he tried to press God and force God and push God but it didn't happen that way he you know he got big on the situation I don't want to get lost there but but but but but when the time was right Abraham and Sarah came together the head Isaac Isaac had Jacob all of this is important it sets up what's going on in 1st Samuel and the pillars of God is fading the ground now you got you got Jacob Jacob who will be renamed Israel and renamed Israel it makes him the father the 12 tribes and and then what you end up in genesis is you have a group of tribal nomads drifting from place to place but in the land of promise they in the place of promise and the Lord just told me to tell everybody you're in the right place yeah yeah I feel that such somebody somebody came to this convocation with some questions in your mind see everybody didn't come to the convocation to play everybody didn't come to the convocation to to parade around everybody doesn't have a need to be upfront somebody came forward somebody somebody [Applause] somebody came cuz cuz I just need somebody to remind me that God said you're still on my mind somebody somebody came hell out somebody I'm telling I'm talking to somebody talking to the dejected I'm talking to the lonely I'm talking to those that feel isolated I'm talking to preachers that are struggling with your ministry I'm talking to Saint that feel like you're all by yourself God told me I brought you to the convocation because I wanted you to know that I still love you still holdin on [Applause] how dare you let your hand on your chest and tell somebody they still love me and still you may be seated you're in you're in the right place if nothing is happening but you're in the right place nothing's going on right now but you're in the right place you you're moving around in a circular fashion but but God says I'm the one I got you in a whole pattern but but I'm holding you cause I'm clearing the runway Friday in your place when the time is right I'm gonna blame you and make everything work together in your life so so that's what's going on they're nomads in Genesis and and then God wants to work things out for them he's bringing them together they're their tribe of nomads tribe of nomads but God says that's not who have destined you to be I've called you to be a people I told your daddy Abraham that you're gonna be a nation but but I gotta make you a nation I gotta develop you and so what happens there's a time where a chasm is created a chasm where a chasm between the place of promise and and they are transported down into Egypt God let him go to Egypt Egypt you know about Egypt don't you Pharaoh in Egypt and went there often when I talk about him I say they went there on most favored nation status and it was not they were most favored because of Joseph and went down in Egypt and and stayed down there about 400 plus years there they ate and they got strength and they got strong and in Egypt in Egypt ain't that amazing you can get strong in hello somebody these are might be unnecessary place wrong wrong wrong in the desert strong in in arable land strong thank God among enemies in hostile forces strong and you know what happened me labor there for hundred years and then when when the time was right because their numbers increase their numbers increased and when the numbers got to about the place God wanted them to be he promoted an extrication from Israel and and and that's what their roles that Pharaoh that knew not Joseph and and that Pharaoh began to treat them harshly and and then you ought to be happy you that are getting done in it means that God is working out your expectation working out working out working out a pathway for you charting out a way and and I couldn't get you to move unless I made a loss I stopped I couldn't get you to take a step unless I made you a little bit uncomfortable and he told me to tell all uncomfortable people get glad about your discomfort [Applause] because I'm getting ready I'm getting ready to take you back to the place of promise and and so they come up out of Egypt and and every deliverance they didn't work none of their delivery she brought him up out of Egypt but they didn't bring themselves up we can't tell that story we can't talk about all them plagues but what I can tell you when God brought him out he reminded them he said with a strong and mighty I brought you out you know what I love about God all of his deliverance it's a wonderful Oh here's the little huh let me just see your hand how many just raise your hand if you've had a guard delivery sir I'm not talking about what you worked out yourself if you worked it out yourself it wasn't a god delivers if you could fix it it wasn't a god delivered it if you can make it happen and what no God delivers but I need to know if there's anybody in this room that has head of God deliverance I thought it was over but God brought me out [Applause] you may be seated but everybody tell your neighbor God did that thank God God then I look back at them you didn't gotta be a saint tell him I got time to tell you my business tell tell him the story is too long say but like all I can say to you is had it not been for the law [Applause] rock me rock me out here so they got out and then now as they go through the wilderness you know that fixation they get through the Red Sea we're going somewhere we get to the Red Sea we in the penet Oh Exodus they get to the Red Sea Moses brings them out and all of the grandeur of that deliverance and and they were praising God and we just want to tell people Pentecostal people have precedent for praising God we have precedent for making noise because sometimes the world thinks we're ignorant and unlearned no no no we're not ignorant and unlearn but we have learned from Moses that every time God does something for us we owe him a praise heaven every time there's a time every time that's that's why we're Holland that's why we make noise when the Lord has made a way we can't hold our peace matter of fact we are obliged to praise Him we're obligated to praise Him can I get a witness can get sometimes we can't help but praise Him when I think of the goodness of gee look at your neighbor look at your neighbor look at your neighbor so the world can hear you see it till your neighbors say sometimes I can't help I can't help it I plan to be dignified I plan to sit still and hold my peach I plan to be quiet but then my mind starts having flashbacks and I have to say look where he brought me truck [Applause] you may be seated we gotta move we gotta move on gotta move on take your seat till somebody out while you're sitting down tell somebody I have two braised about uh-huh tell them I don't mean not set you today now I'm sorry if you want to be cute today but but I have to place yep when I remember something happens to it says goose bumps down the spot when I Rebecca it makes my scalp itch when I remember I get a tickle in my feet when I read I said take you see if you will I said that I said that because Deborah uh-uh-uh-uh-uh was that young sister Miriam Miriam got two sisters together and they got their timbrels we we kind of call them tambourines but but they have to make some noise because God took them across the Red Sea I got to leave it alone but everybody just say I got to make some noise I got I got a doctor I'm not gonna leave this convocation till I make some norm I'm not going [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that was their case and now the rest of Exodus they should have went over but faith did make lack of faith made it that burning a little longer they got cut off a whole generation had to stay in the wilderness but even their God was developing them and so you see now God setting up other stuff Exodus Leviticus Exodus Leviticus Exodus and Leviticus Exodus you start seeing God since they got to stay here in the wilderness God say you may as well praise me in the wilderness and so I'm in the wilderness I would have got to immediately to the promised land but you didn't glorify me and so we don't have to do something in the wilderness and I'm not gonna give you a temple in the wilderness I'm gonna give you a tabernacle in the wilderness because the wilderness is not your permanent place it's this list it's just a passing through place but even while you're passing through you got to give me the globe and so he said Moses I want you to set up a temporary temple and we're gonna call it a tabernacle and y'all know what happened we didn't got time to talk about that and all the embroidery and and how the precious metals and stone were overlaid on wanna know we don't have time to talk about amen the outer court the inner court the Holies of Holies and the bail telegin really got time for that but what I can tell you is God set in place ceremonial law and he was showing us how we would worship Him later he said Moses tell the children of Israel when they come to worship me there's some things they got to do their sacrifices they got to me i'ma set some lavas out lobber so they can wash their hands in the because you can't come worship me any old kind of way we got to do doctor your doctor hello somebody we got too many folk worshiping God from an ugly place worshiping God from a bad place can I get a witness put worshiping God you got jealousy and envy and strike in your heart worshiping God mad at one another musicians playing that don't like one another choir members hating on one another y'all ain't gonna say what I'm sayin preachers jealous of one another you can't worship God with stuff in your heart can I get a witness if you say you got to clean yourself up and and everytime I come to church I know some of y'all to save when I go to bed and when I get up in the morning I always ask God to clean me up I always said then I'll get a witness in here some of y'all don't do it I believe in doing that clean me up Jesus forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us cuz I know your holy garden and God I wanna worship you so Lord prepared me a sanctuary somebody clap your hands and praise God anyhow [Applause] [Music] all the intricacy that's there in Exodus into Leviticus the same kind of stuff is going on intricate things all stuff that that seems our cane to us when you read in Leviticus if you like me I know you want to be sanctimonious I get tired when I read the video said when I got my daily reading when they give my daily reading y'all know you know every year we tried to read the Bible through a man but sometimes the bittakers break us down oh it's just telling you that God ain't going set any own kind of thing I wish I had me a right turn I'm a god of specificity let me just put this in the atmosphere we need to quit dimming God raggedy worship we need to do [Music] that anything I do for God we ought to want to give God the best the best musicians the best singers y'all ever talk to me can I get a witness in here timeout timeout for running the gong show in church God God said now they gonna like me I said it anyhow they got two minute for too much flesh I wanna be seen if you can't do it get out the way you let the singer sing specification specification hello somebody and how I give God glory and Leviticus you get numbers and numbers you know that that really is chronicling their sojourn in the wilderness their missteps their miss accent showing how God interacts with them Deuteronomy is the second law given because Moses lost out on going over because he was messing with the people and let the folk get in his spirit and he didn't sink the fire-god at the rock and so he couldn't go over and God said well I won't I'm not gonna let you go over he said but I'm gonna let you give the slaw a second time review it with the elders so they know not to make the same mistakes review it with them and tell them why we stayed out here so long but but now we're gonna go over in Moses passes off the scene he wasn't lost but you know that he went up in the mountaintop if he just didn't get to go to the promised land but he was still close to God because because you remember when he died Satan tried to pick him up but God dispatched the Archangel can I get a witness in here and the angel would stood the devil and he couldn't go at the devil any kind of way cuz he used to be under the devil and and so he said I can't insult him Bible says he brought an out against him a railing accusation he just opened up his mouth and said Santa the Lord rebuke thee the devil the devil backed off for Moses can I get a witness and God corrected him for him took he took a man and we read about Moses later and I also represent a new generation Israel now has ethics Israel now has a cold Israel now as a law because you can't be a nation without laws you can't be a nation without rules I come today to stand against the first Apostolic Church of NRT I come today to stand against the first Apostolic Church of do what you want to do I'm not attacking I'm not attacking anybody I'm not attacking Generation Xers I'm not attacking the Millennials we need you we believe in you but it is our obligation to tell you you can't do your thing up in here [Applause] I'm this after top somebody help me talk today you don't do your thing up in here you don't do your thing up in here you have your way at Burger King it's God's Way at church [Applause] somebody to help me talk today everybody tell two people there's God's Way up in here God some they got to be something that you don't do they got to be something awesome at it got to be something that that you got to put down that you got to lay down let us lay aside every way send enough so easily beset us I don't have time to talk about that's not a scripture for pontification that's a scripture for challenge lay aside every way and then there is a sin y'all they read that right there is a sin that does so ease of it but there's something that are not anybody down if God don't help them but God said if you let my Holy Ghost it in you I'll let you live side the way and you'll stand up with that sin that's you lean toward I'll give you help hello somebody I need somebody that can say the Lord hoped me the Lord excuse the ebonics look at your neighbor and say he hoping me he hoping me that's why I made it that's how I made it there's some stuff in me there's some stuff out there I still like there's some stuff out there that's still calling my name but the reason I'm still here is God won't let me do it [Applause] they take the credit I can't take the printer you name I can't take that credit out okay that's why we got the helper before I take that credit God God just hold on to me I almost did it but he grabbed me before I did almost but it [Applause] got a move but it's not the church I'm calling Millennials back - Sensibility I'm calling Generation Xers back - Sensibility I know we did too much to you we put too much on you but even after you take off our excesses there still are some parameters stay in the yard and walk with God stay in the church peace with all men holiness without which no man shall see the Lord be he holding to that placing and so that's what that's what's happening now the Joshua generation comes on their nation of laws but they gotta settle now in the Promised Land they got the tribes and the stuff can I take my time for about ten whole minutes everything is not to be divided it's got to be divvied up Joshua is about giving up the land of promise it's about handing out what belongs to everybody and this is where we'd have to understand in the church we gotta quit fighting over the same piece of land there's a peace for everybody everybody got something coming hello somebody you ain't got to try to take mine you got yours and then I can I get a witness I don't need to try to take what belong to you I got mine and so it was about them settling into the promised land they go over they go over the first historical book of the Bible and they settled in the promised land and you just get little Inklings of things in in Joshua I think in Joshua there's a there's a place called Jericho little Inklings of stuff that God does pointing forth to Calvary and that's the truth whose name was rehab and somehow when the story gets through Rahab is in the lineage line of Jesus and then that's God that's job just prognosticating that I give hope to the hopeless and and I help funk that that can't help themselves that's God saying I don't care how dirty you are I'm able to clean you up I don't care how ugly you are hello somebody I'm able to get your life together and so he brings rehabing to the tree and and we move out of that book the roots one place you drop a little book a man by the name of Ruth and you got judges judges comes after Joshua judges thank God is is that era in which Israel now has blossomed into a confederacy and what does that mean they're they're different units but they're one nation but they're functioning in pockets functioning sort of by themselves a man sort of a a kind of tribal feudalism or something on that order and they're separated in judges and and they always get in trouble in judges with rather they get in trouble in judges because they always go whoring they did they're never satisfied we're gonna see that more than one time they're never satisfied in and so they keep getting in trouble they keep getting in trouble then God has to rescue them and so he raises up a judge to come and rescue them and men and women were judges and they're all rescued them every time they got in trouble they got rescued every time they got in a dilemma they got rescued in that just like God he keeps coming in that just like God let me see your hand if you know he kept coming out to be kept coming after me matter of fact yesterday how many times did you run away how many times how many time you don't know how many times but what you do know he always came and got me he never never gave up on me never abandoned me never forsook me and so so that's what judges is about their continual deliberate crises and deliberate crises and deliverance crises and deliberate crises and deliberate crises and deliberate crises and I'm gonna say it Christ II think that the story of your life crises and delivered struggle and deliberate heartache and delivers burden and but we go down into moon and pick up some more budgets and and look like it looked like you would think the more abiders would be uncommitted but I find out in route those that God has done the most for appreciate him the boat said and then and then you nobody happened it was Ralph it was loose Naomi told her God ain't got no more children for you a man who's had to tell Naomi this used to be about your boy but now it's about your God [Applause] else to be ghosts to be about your boy but but I don't found out about your god I found out that there's no God like God talking to me first Samuel starts out with Sam we're not gonna talk about how he got here but he was here we won't talk about the miracle of his birth cuz he was here but but when we pick up on Samuel Samuel is a unique person is what is he Samuel is Israel of Israel but not only is he the last judge he serves in dual capacity he is both judge and judge and he got a prophetic Bantle he has a judgeship calling and and now here comes fickle Israel again here come Israel look to Samuel and you know what they said give us a team that we can be like all the other nations when God said I'm gonna be your king why would you want somebody else but that was Israel's mentality down through the years read it for yourself they was always trying to be like somebody else they were kind of like the Church of today not satisfied they're like some some apostolic they don't appreciate being a pastor I'm not here the best of the churches God deals with other people but but what I do in here to do I'm trying to bust Alex back to an appreciation of who God called us to be we are not just any other people we're not oh I wish I could talk look at your neighbor until your neighbor we're not arrogant and and we're not proud would you help me say that say we're not arrogant and and we're not proud but tell them we have a unique calling oh yeah oh yeah we're we're a peculiar people zealous of good works and I'm sick and tired of you apostolic Pentecostal church pastors you don't like it get out I always have to talk we don't we don't want you to go but we ain't going back to the state you don't want you to go don't take me wrong don't get me twisted we love you but but I'm tired of us being so self loathing and so self hating and when I watch everybody else they embrace who they are our sisters our embrace who they are to hold a witnesses they're proud to be Jehovah Witnesses and and and the Muslims are proud to be Muslim they stand out on the corner and sell they've been a bit being Paterson but it looked like somewhere they've got into our system that that we ain't supposed to like ourselves and and so we watch television and decide we're supposed to be like everybody on television and they define who we are other ministries don't define Jesus we don't even know how to worship you maybe see that yeah I wish I could talk for just a few more men take your seat if you will take your seat we're uncomfortable with ourselves uncomfortable with our function and somehow we got it in our brain cuz they don't like us that we're ignorant I'm sick of all of that and we want you to be this way and we want you to be that way and you ain't you ain't really Minister than this unless you get a high pad and some sticking out your ear and and walk along the floor and and somehow that's gonna make your church grow cuz you walk a certain way and look like another preacher that's prominent on the TV set running it ain't about you Jesus say his words say hello Scylla we gonna get we fall into that trap we don't like the way we worship and we jettison our worship and and we bring alien elements into our worship man and I don't want you to get me twisted out I have appreciation of everything I believe the church should be multi-generational we should hear the songs of every generation every generation are to sing their song but I'm troubled when I can't hear my song but only the other song some wrong with that I'm Travie when you don't like the hymns that brought us the helm the Helms we we could sing in the hymns and so our children don't know the hymns and before we indict our children we must take responsibility because we haven't taught our children we gave them we gave them video games and telephones but we failed to give them Jesus with we took them yes we made sure they made soccer and baseball practice but we didn't take them to Sunday school the devil is a lie and so we got a generation that really don't know God they don't want rules they don't want ethics they don't want boundaries they don't want cold but it's not their fault it's our fault they don't sang the hymns because we let them sing their song but we need to sing back to them we need to tell them all the blood of Jesus we need to tell them thank God for the blood we need to tell them I see a crimson [Applause] I wish I wish I wish week we had started the telecast a little later they slam the right songs but but I don't know that they heard them they sang the right songs they sang Bishop hatred song it was actually written by woman but credited to Bishop Haywood and the songwriter said there shall be light in the evening time the path to glory you were surely fact through the waterway it is the light today barren in his present yeah repent of all your sin and the Holy Ghost will in a the evening time is come I'd only sin and it is a fact that God [Music] [Applause] baptized in the holy baptized in Jesus name are you in the church triumphant now you hit the siders rock climb and be baptized into the body and sweet wonder Wanda [Applause] the suck you may be seated take your seat for moment agency take this take pictures please be seated just a moment it's better give this take your seat saints of God gotta give this in in a system look at somebody say the guy did that man we gotta get that back we gotta embrace a pasta olicity let me make up that word I am apple Stalin one Lord one thing one back hello somebody Jesus kiss [Applause] I fear I'm not trying to stay in the right lane but somebody did say it one time [Applause] take your seat take your seat take your seat up chunky trying to stay in the right lane trying to stay in the right lane Tina but can I just say it this way Jesus is my everything ain't nothing outside of Jesus it's all in Jesus the fullness of the Godhead [Applause] he said I'm alpha then I'm a backup I'm the fast and I'm the life on the b-side me bad nobody like Jesus [Applause] take your seat Saints Oh God I mean about can I have five minutes five got it embrace shoot me out matter of fact everybody just embrace who you are right now embrace oneness pentecostalism the embrace your holy ghost that speaks in another time embrace we are the keepers of the name we that's our Sangha that's our sign man as apostolic that's our assignment we're no better than other folks and I don't even know why God chose us but he chose us to be the curators of his name we're to hold on to his name hello sir man we ought to call him by his name can I get a witness in him we can't let other folks intimidate us and back us up in a corner we got to keep our worship connection and and I don't want to lose and don't know that they think I'm crazy I'm pretty steam bashing and I'm not I have crazy things I gotta get this out of my system and I won't preach this no more after this if I can I get it out today [Applause] I love praise teams I got to praise teams in both touches fine praise team in Annapolis Detroit oh they can sing and I love them Amen y'all see bands let's echo see one of my spiritual daughters don't like her she can get up here and work that thing and she knew I loved her she know I don't need her but I'm trying to balance the equation because in my church you do what you want to do because there's it's sort of an imbalance where the praise team has put worship from the pews and ain't nobody praising God but to stay [Applause] I'm nervous I I still need to hear the Saint sing I still I still I still look at your neighbor Sal I need to see you clap your hands sometime [Applause] congregational singing and we need the congregational singing to come back us because when we sang those congregational songs that's when the powder swept across the sink so everything drive him way Lord drive him way up I'm a soldier in the Army other look I get dry when I think about we used to saying a lather would work up in the back of our Subin sisters would lose the perm in there but that's when the Holy Ghost started falling said that on down Lord Cindy don't [Applause] come on down but but tell your neighbors you feel like me say I long for a fresh move of God that long I'm wrong I'm wrong tell your neighbor tell your neighbor I long for the day when when I can go to church and and not have a show but but just feel the equipment some time I don't want for this singing I won't ugly singing some time some time I just need to make a joyful noise I want to do my own thing I don't want to do it with finesse I don't want to Bob and Weaver I just want to sing the songs are designed and and let God know that I still appreciate him my my time is gone I've got a hip to my seat take your seat for one more moment I need about gonna have four more minutes look at your neighbors take it in focus you have time to tell everything I don't have time to talk about Sandra tell you about the dilemma Samuel had a Christ season and Samuel Samuel got nervous him told God they don't want me but but but God had to help Samuel and they say Samuel it ain't about you they they haven't rejected you they have rejected me and so you know what they happened they ended up thank God with Saul as their King Saul wasn't the right thing for them you may be seated for a moment now I'm getting ready to close take you see please I didn't read her clothes right now Saul wasn't the right kind of king he was a fleshly king he was a king that they desired you gotta be careful what you pray for gotta make sure that your prayer is God's prayer can I get a witness in here cuz the Bible said gave them their request them but sent leanness to their soul I don't know about you but when I pray I'm always willing to tell God Lord if it ain't for me don't do it for me huh I will be done wish I was in the right Church sir you don't have to get on your feet sup but shake your neighbors hand and say neighbor I don't know about you but I won't his will to be done in my life if it ain't for me I want God to stop it if I don't need it I want God to cut it off they didn't they didn't pray they prayed a crown of Prayer and so they ended up with a carnal King and saw was his name if I had time I'll tell you about Sola I'd run down this pedigree I'll tell you Bobby has been to my heritage I tell you how arrogance granting his family tree areas was in his pride because Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob that he had battle wife he loved Rachel I tell ya how Benjamin was protected covered paint guard from all kind of stuff how arrogant Benjamin was I go to judges and tell you how Benjamin when it should have gave up those bad men they wouldn't give him up because of crime and thousands died that day Sol came from the tribe of Benjamin and did stuff he never should have done he intruded into the office of the priesthood and God could ever straighten him out and say obedience is better than sacrifice I was so caught up in himself that he participated in necromancia somebody shout glory consulted with the Witch of Endor and akanda DUP something that looked like the spirit of Samuel ax and had a seance if you please up but you know the Bible story when God got tired of Salah he went and found himself another king this time he said I don't need a team of the flesh I'm going down to the tribe of Judah enough cuz you can I can always trust the worship of the servants I can always I wish I was in the right shut up look at your neighbor and say hey y'all not gonna help me huh say hey neighbor huh are you one of those that God can trust stop then look for the handsome but don't believe the answer huh if they've been sitting next to your cool off service long don't believe the answer if they haven't clapped their hands yet today don't believe the answer if you ain't seen them rocking a little bit cuz God is a spirit what's up young they got a worship him in spirit and truth look at the name if you're the real thing and say I wanna film that God can trust sir because I praise your map and then ask them how often do you praise Him till you leave I can't tell you how often now because they're always looking for reason I'm always looking for an excuse bless the Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth look at the name and say I don't know what you come to do but I come to praise the Lord I wish I had some praises in here [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] but all I can tell you is he got to be king over Israel but he waited his turn will read this taxi was still waiting he was annoyed but still waiting sick somebody's hand and say I'm just like David [Applause] [Music]
