Rev David Shatwell | The Calling of God | 2_7_14Fri

camp-meeting my wife can attest to that every year when came time to find a speaker I said I got we got to have brother shot well it just never did we never connected till this year at General Conference we just kind of ran into each other and it worked out I know that he's in the will of God being here tonight and I believe tonight's gonna be a night when we're gonna hear from heaven you believe it Oh hallelujah hallelujah for the David shat well come take this service praise the Lord everyone let's clap our hands unto the Lord shout into God with the voice of triumph to God thank you Jesus I give honor to all of the men of God leadership of this church brother Foster Foster for allowing me to come and I don't come to you today with a sermon I come to you today with a word from God with a word from God I've got some things that I'm going to say at the beginning just to kind of to set the stage for me telling you what God told me was gonna happen in the city of Houston Texas by his hand by his power and by his sovereign will I hope to god that every person in this building will reach up higher than they are tonight and get ahold of what God is gonna do in this city reading from 1st Samuel Chapter number 3 for Samuel chapter number 3 verse number 1 give honor once again to all the men of God that are in this place this great Church first samuel chapter 3 verse number 1 and the child samuel ministered unto the lord before he lying and the word of the lord was precious in those days there was no open vision and it came to pass at that time when Eli was laid down in his place and his eyes began to wax dim that he could not see and air the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord where the Ark of God was and Samuel was laid down to sleep that the Lord called Samuel someone say called the bow says the Lord called Samuel and he answered here am i and he ran into Eli and said here am I for thou call us me and he said I called not lie down again and he went and lay down and the Lord called yet again somebody say the Lord called and the Lord called yet again Samuel and Samuel arose and went to Elias said here am I for thou didst call me and the answered I called not my son lie down again now Samuel did not yet know the Lord neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him and the Lord called Samuel Sam I said the Lord called Lord called Samuel again the third time and he rose and went to Eli and said here am I for thou didst call me and Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child can I just say to Bethel tonight you better thank God that you've got leadership and a man of God that it don't take three times of God telling him to talk to you or to preach something to you before he gets it you need to be thankful for that but after the third time he told him he said you go and you lay down and here's what I want you to do he said go lay down lie down and it shall be if he called thee that thou shalt say speak Lord for thy servant heareth so samuel went and laid down in his place and the lord came and stood and called as at other times samuel samuel then samuel answered speak for thy servant heareth and the Lord said to Samuel behold I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle I want to talk to you tonight for a little bit on the subject of the calling of God the calling of God I purposely after this encounter on Wednesday at home and me hurriedly scribbling down what the Lord told me to tell you I purposely all day long today I would look at it and ponder and think about but I thought I'm not touching it I'm not gonna mess with it I'm gonna leave it just like Jesus gave it to me because there was a day that I was praying about what to preach in a service and the Lord wasn't giving me what straightforward so I started going through the notes and I started telling the Lord that right there work Lord that and that dog a hunt right there and I did that several time the Lord just kept saying no finally I named one and I've mentioned it to the Lord and he said here's what he said to me he said no he said you've had that one too long there's too much of you in it so my goal is not to make this smooth my goal has not been to try to make it flow well my goal has been to bring it untainted from heaven to you would you clap your hands under the Lord one more time and shout to God with the voice of triumph you may be seated the calling of gala the calling of God you can barely get your Bible open and flip just just read just a little ways in the Word of God and you find this God that we're serving and talking about and loving and having relationship with starting the process of calling to man it begins very very early on as he begins to say where are you and we know the ensuing the following conversation as Adam says I was naked and I was afraid and I hid from you it's always kind of amazed me a little bit to think that God who knows the end from the beginning a god who's described as the eyes of the Lord are in all the earth beholding the evil and the good that he would say to one man in one garden in one local place where are you and I think of course that all of us realize God had not lost Adam God knew exactly where Adam was and exactly what Adam had done I think God wanted Adam to realize where he was and what God wanted from him I'm telling you tonight that the call of God is going forth in this city and in this church tonight the God of heaven has come to this house and he's calling people in this building tonight if you're one is sitting in this house and you want your spirit to be open to the call of God one more time would you open your mouth and raise your hand and say God talk to me tonight talk to me tonight the calling the calling of God the calling of God do you know it didn't stop in a garden there was even an encounter of God calling at a burning bush and that wasn't enough there was even times that God voice could be heard in palaces and in sheepfolds and in earth the calories Abram heard the call of God that said come out from where you are and go to a place that you've never seen and the Bible said he picked up everything and started moving what I'm wondering tonight is hearing their body in Bethel Tabernacle tonight let us say God I don't have to know every step between here in heaven but I'm willing to start out tonight with you just call me I'm willing to start in that direction so the call of God has went forth for many many many days he's called strangers he's called patriarchs he's called kings and he's called peasants he's called friends of the kingdom and work of God and he's called enemies of the same it was on a Damascus Road that a man hell-bent to do what he thought was the will of God encountered the call of gallaudet can I tell you that the call of God does not always leave you as it found you Elijah had to burn ploughs and kill oxen Saul had to find someone to lead him Abram had to walk away from everything he had known as family custom and past and I'm telling you tonight that there's gonna be some things that you're gonna have to be willing to step away from to get closer to him and to respond to the calling of God the calling the calling of God you know I wish I could tell you that God only calls at church but you know it's not just in this holy convocation that we're involved in tonight that the call of God can be heard in fact if you had watched angels walk into the city of Sodom that perverted place you'd have heard the call of God that night to a man that it started the direction that left him in a place like that can I just stop and say right there if Abraham's words up on the side of a mountain to the Lord saying it's not like you to destroy the righteous with the wicked you're the judge of all the earth surely the judge of all the earth will do right and it's that's not like you got to destroy the righteous with the wicked Jews him all the way down to ten when there's only one in the city that's righteous but because of an old man's attitude and words toward God upon the side of a mountain you believe what you want to I believe that lot was there by choice in the city of Sodom and can I just stop long enough to tell her mom and dad or grandma or grandpa there's some of your babies that are where they are in a crack house and a broken relationship in some kind of an alcoholic situation or whatever and they chose to go there but cannot tell you the very same God that responded to Abraham's cry and his plea with God and send angels of the Lord to drag Lord out of that place then walk in a barroom then won't get a crack house then walk into an immoral situation and bring your babies out if he did it for him he's gotta be willing and able to do it for me somebody clap your hands and tell him you believe it in the calling of God happens more than in the church house I was raised in the United Pentecostal church all of my life I was in a United Pentecostal Church nine months before I was born I knew I know what it is to sleep on a Pentecostal pew I know what it is to sleep on the front row of a Pentecostal church and I also know what it is to have somebody get to hooking and bucking on the second row and hit the back of that Pew that wasn't bolted down and roll me off in the floor my mama said baby you didn't even wake up until you went on all fours until you hit the wall on the side with your head so you didn't wake up till then it just don't pay to sleep at church all right that's the guy that fell out of the wind that just don't pay to sleep at church but I knew what it was to be in an atmosphere like this time and time and time and time and time and time again but you know what I found myself in a pretty traditional church that kind of had a glass ceiling on the things of the Spirit I'm not throwing stones at anybody but I just don't think it's the will of God for you to have maybe one shout down on a Sunday night in a year's time and say man we had Church and because you had one shout down on a Sunday night I'm just not sure it's the will of God I'm just not sure it's the will of God for us to have one tongues and interpretation ever eight or ten months and and my god that's the ceiling of things I believe if God gave them to the church he must have meant that we were needing them but I was raised in the church that kind of had a glass ceiling like that well I'm telling you I had Drive inside of me and I'd curiosity burning in me and I thought what dear God if this is all there is to it I'm gonna look somewhere else I often wonder if I would have even looked somewhere else if I could have been raised in an Apostolic Church where they were telling me we're not the ones that decide how high you were going god we're gonna keep your feet on the ground we're gonna keep your nose pointed in the right direction your head screwed on but go for it man I'm telling you God will speak to kids he'll speak to old folks here speak to women here speak to anybody and so because of that sealing I began to look somewhere else and I remember in the summer between the sixth and seventh grade I started doing drugs sniffing paint thinner gasoline anything I could get my hands on to get high my mom and dad still made me go to church and and I'd come to church and I'd go home and go do this some more of the same and all the way through my junior high and all the way through high school same thing same thing when I finally barely turned 17 I moved out from home and left and and just cranked up the partying even hiring but you know there was a momma that just kept praying I said there was a momma that just kept calling to God can I stop long enough to tell a mom or dad is somewhere you better get you a response prepared when the devil comes along telling you it ain't gonna happen for your babies people in the church looked at the way I was living they told my momma they said listen Louise your boys headed to prison she looked them straight in their eyes and said no sir that's not what's gonna happen my boys gonna be a preacher I wish some of you would refute the devil's evidence I wish somebody would defy what hell has to say about the future of your babies so so I'm telling you that God calls outside of just this thing we call church so even while I was out there partying in the world my momma kept hammering hammering heaven and even in the world out of my mind on drugs and alcohol and and everything you could do God kept calling me before you look ask you or a little sideways as somebody that you know is not living right when they tell you God spoke to them listen to what I'm telling you right now at the height of the drug use when I was shooting dope smoking dope drinking dope snortin dope any way I could get it in my system God came to me and gave me a vision from heaven he came to me and I wasn't high on drugs when I had it but I'd been partying and the Lord gave me a vision and in this vision I saw a human hand like this and in the middle of that human hand there were eight or ten tendons maybe the size of a pencil or maybe the size of my thing and I watched as that hand there was no sound but I just watched as that hand begin to come open and then I watched his one tendon after another pop to loose under tension across the pop top of those fingers and came loose from that hand until there was one tendon left and it was right across the tips of those fingers and as I looked at that picture in that vision God was giving me away from him the Lord spoke to me and said David those were the strings of your heart and when that last one comes loose you will never be able to come back to me again I was this hardcore just about as you can get but that day and after that happened I turned to a friend of mine I had good bit of dope left in the bag and I said hey I I got it I got to do some stuff and I handed that was they really looked at me like something was wrong we shot well it really went off the edge here a giving dope boy and I gave it to him I got my old car and I drove to that little Pentecostal church stepped up on that side walking up on that porch and looked in the little window at the superior United Pentecostal Church just on the edge of Tulsa and I looked in that little window I stood right there on that on that porch I smoked the last Marlboro ever smoked in my life threw it down smashed it and walked in and set out on the back pew can I tell you I am thankful that somebody came to church to have church that night I'm glad that somebody decided I'm gonna get beyond my pleasure I want to step beyond my feelings and the weariness of my day I believe I hear God calling the preacher the preacher preached and there I was sitting on that back pew he got through preaching had everybody stand and I realized it's time for me to go I had marijuana growing in the field had marijuana at home in the house and I was standing there in that back pew and I turned stepped out and started toward the back door a sinner and I physically felt the hand of God go through the skin through the bones and down to my physical heart and literally it felt as though that thing jerked my heart arteries connected out in front of me and literally physically turned me around and began to drag me toward that altar I gotta stop and tell somebody God is no respecter of persons Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever he did it for me I'll do it for you and your babies I went to that altar God gloriously baptized me again in the Holy Ghost and allowed me to come back to him and I'm telling you I am thankful to this day I don't take for granted one service I don't take for granted one instance of being able to be in the presence of God I don't take for granted one chance that I've got to stand in his presence honey because I shouldn't even be here maybe you'll blue blood Pentecost forever never Bible one time but you're looking at a man that don't deserve to be here the calling the calling of God the calling of God when he allowed me to come back and he refilled me with the Holy Ghost I made up my mind I'm gonna give myself to him the way I gave myself to the world I'll never forget the next Sunday night and the Sunday night after that when church was over and all the good brothers and sisters said hey David come out to eat with us at the restaurant I said no I can't they thought it's cuz I didn't have money I said no I can't they finally pinned me down and questioned me and I said they said we'll behind us it's not that what are you gonna do I said listen there's some old buddies that are sitting down in front of their TV they don't smoke the last joint a weed and if their lights on when I Drive by I'm gonna go knock on their door and I'm gonna tell them what Jesus has done in my life can I tell you that I got prayed through on a Sunday night and my best friend hare plumb down to his waist I told him I saw him found him on Tuesday and I said I want you in church on Friday we're in revival and you're gonna come he said David I can't come I've got to go to Kansas I gotta buy a pound of dope I've already got the deal made I said I'll see you Friday night and then I went back to the church and I got in a fetal position in the front of that pulpit and began to intercede and travail can I tell you something somebody that's willing to pray and somebody that's willing to give themselves to intercession and travail there is nothing that can withstand them because prayer can do anything that God Friday night I stood in that service and I kept watching looking at the back door finally about 7:30 mo long-haired buddy came walking in and came down and sat down beside me you know what I decided if I want him to get the Holy Ghost it might be good if I got it you won't folks you bring to get something why don't you get something I believe what's on me can get on somebody beside me if I'll get enough on me where it flows over splashes out a little bit seem like I read somewhere that it's supposed to be like a river see what I started doing I'll start praising God whatever thing that I had honey when the preacher got up to preach and finally gave the altar call I turned to him and he said I want to go and we went to the altar in that night I watched him gloriously baptized with the impure the Holy Ghost and watched him baptized in Jesus name don't tell me God don't do that anymore I'm telling you that he does and it wasn't for David shat was goodness but it was because I understood if I'm willing to seek Him and respond to the calling of God and it wasn't too many days until his twin brother got the Holy Ghost baptized in Jesus name one too many days after that till his brother's girlfriend got the Holy Ghost baptized in Jesus name wasn't too long until his older brother got baptized and got the Holy Ghost wasn't too long until his brother says oldest brother's kids got the Holy Ghost and got baptized in Jesus name wasn't too long after that took Billy and his wife got the Holy Ghost wasn't too long after that and to Mike and David it wasn't too long after that to Morris and one either went too long after that to Wayne I'm telling somebody right now if you respond to the calling of God you will find opportunity to reach the law somebody clap to the Lord I was praying one day right after I'd gotten the church and the Lord spoke to me is just a young Christian starting all over and he said to me David if you don't reach them who will so I began to give everything I had to it I'll never forget within just months of after getting in the church I decided to fly to Denver to brother Billy Hills my sister was going to church up there I remember walking through the airport the International Airport of Tulsa with my family around me walking toward the gate and all of a sudden I just I was overcome and began to sob in that Airport my sisters looked at me and my mom looked at me mr. David what's wrong with you I couldn't even hardly talk and I finally took my hand and waved it like that at the multitudes of people walking by and I said hey but you know what brother awesome I can't tell you the last time I went out after a Sunday night and look for somebody to talk to about God I can't remember the last time I walked through an airport and was so overcame with a burden for the lost that had to stop believe against against the wall I know what a windier she was talking about when he said he was walking home from his late evening job and the overwhelming burn the Lord came upon him and he literally fell off into rose bushes and begin to call to God in intercession and travail in a fetal position you know what this kind of stuff ain't near about popular talking about nowadays but you hear me there's things that will never happen in our world until somebody does some intercession until somebody does a little bit of travail enough honey we want them to be born but we don't like that pain we want to be born and we want to have them on the Pew but we're not so good about that intercession anymore birth father I can remember I remember the first time I got called to come and preach somewhere but Smith I prayed three or four hours without just trying to find some little sermon I could cobble together I remember walking out of that room I went to my mama I said mama I just got to pray over three hours without stopping she never said it was branded in my brain I need to be expecting God to talk to me when I spend time with him hear me I can't stand the pulpit in the last month that I spent three hours seeking for a sermon sometimes it's hurry up after the busy day I've had so something together put a different title on something I've already preached we're the people oh now what in the name of God ever happened to that freshness can I tell somebody in this house that place still exists and God still calling for somebody to come back Oh God and I don't want to be offensive to anybody please I don't I'm gonna do everything in my don't want to be offensive in any way I want to bear the truth in love but listen to me listen Jim it was it was just a teenage boy that looked at daddy and said daddy I see the wood and we've got the fire but where's the sacrifice I see the wood I felt the fire but I need s David shet well where's the sacrifice in your life sir the missing ingredient the missing ingredient the missing ingredient and God provided the sacrifice for them because of what they were willing to sacrifice but hear me I'm not sure God's gonna provide the sacrifice for me until I'm willing to sacrifice for him now I have absolutely no idea how you're gonna receive what I'm fixing to say you haven't no idea and honestly I cannot burden myself with that concern I just can't I cannot be an arrogant please don't take it that way it's just that dear God look here look here folks look here I've got I got this many sermons just in my note but these are single page sermons and I love to preach but I'm gonna taste that my mother preached a sermon my wife scanned 1500 or 2000 sermons down into my dad into my computer and then on to my iPad that I can punch a button and send there and just go through the notes as they are that I've preached before but instead God says home should do this and so this is Friday night it was Wednesday about twelve in Okemah we were sitting in the breakfast nook and it was my wife and I my son my 19 year old son Jonathan and a girl from the church she was talking about some things that she was struggling with and we were just talking honest to god I had no clue as to what I was gonna do down here no clue what I usually do the tragedy of a wounded spirit is so universal and helpful I'm gonna preach it unless God tells me not to I don't care how many people's hurt if I get a chance to preach I'm gonna preach it I'm gonna preach it here if I get a chance for I leave okay but I'm just sitting on a side and got any direction whatsoever and we're sitting there and we talked this girl in all sudden we begin that we feel a spirit of prayer come in the the deal I am clueless as to what's fixing to happen we began to pray and all of a sudden the spirit of prayer came in over that little breakfast nook my wife and I and my boy and that girl Cristina we began to pray in the spirit deep prayer in the spirit and all of a sudden what I scribbled down on this paper started coming to me from God in the middle of deep deep intercessory prayer at our kitchen table and this is what the Lord said to me when it literally when it began to come it literally felt like something was crammed down into my chest and down into my our stomach and literally there was a feeling of extreme fullness that happened just like that when I got up from the table to head to my office to try to get a pen and a piece of paper I couldn't hardly even walk because of the intensity of the burden that God spoke into my spirit as I said I have no idea what how you will respond and I can't I'm gonna tell you what God told me to say and I'll preach a sermon tomorrow night or Sunday morning alright so here's what the Lord said you see 30 years ago people started asking me to come to Houston Texas to preach I've had six different solid invitations some of them on the calendar to come to Houston Texas with six different people in 30 years every single time something happened and it didn't work out for 30 plus years and I did not understand until Wednesday morning why it was because what God gave me to come here and speak was going to start something that literally will go down in history books I know I know very little I know very little about what happened here a hundred years ago remember General Conference they they did a lot of stuff at General come but personally I've never studied as to what happened here a hundred years ago I do know there was an outpouring of the Holy Ghost I do know that but here's what the Lord said to me and I'm gonna tell you just like he told me he said Houston I will visit you as I have before but in greater measure than before and the Lord said Houston will travail preceding the entrance of my spirit he said they can either bring travail to me or I will bring travail to them but travail will happen please please hear the word of the Lord today please hear the word of the Lord today I doubt if any body in the building even students of the revival a hundred years ago could tell you the songs that were saying but I'll promise you one thing anybody that was there could mighty well remember the outpouring of the Holy Ghost that happened 100 years ago so I'm gonna say it just like this thus saith the Lord I the Lord will now come and visit Houston as I have in days gone by but I the Lord will visit it in greater measure and the things that will come to your city will astound millions for my hand will do it and my spirit will bring it saith the Lord many days ago I turned my face toward this city but now I the Lord of determined to come and I will perform the thing that I determined in my heart to happen I belong I'm coming to Houston would you stand right now come on Houston come on Houston a hundred years ago you know what he found he found empty hungry people I hope to god that he don't find full and satisfied people only but I hope to god something can happen in our spirits and in our hearts tonight that something would turn over in NASA and you would begin to say God whatever it takes draw hunger in me and call me I'd like for him Church God's waiting on somebody to start the process God's waiting on somebody to start the process I have done what the Lord is asking me to do I've done what the Lord is required of me to do please Bethel Tabernacle please somebody allow the Lord because the miracle-working power of God the miraculous of the Holy Ghost will come will come it's coming even now would you please prevail before the Lord would you right now get where you can touch somebody else and pray with somebody 2 3 whatever let's do it let's connect ourselves physically and what you pray right now come on come on let it be an unbroken chain between the connection between you and somebody else right now come on would you do it right now mighty god mighty god bind us together for the purpose of harvest god bind us together that you would help us to be able to be a vessel that could hold the signs wonders and miracles and harvest it's coming to the city of Houston Texas come on battle come

area Tori at Arabic ayah Jesus a robbery at RFK a robbery at about kya naam oh yeah Jesus Jesus name Jesus name Jesus name could somebody could somebody put Isaiah 40 Isaiah 40 and verses number three up on the screen please Church I want you to look at this don't you guys this is something this is something that I'm asking you to do as individuals as you feel and see need or place that you can do this watch this the voice of him that crieth in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the Lord the purpose is to do something to prepare the way of the Lord do you mean when he came into the city of Jerusalem they took something that covered them and threw it down in the bait when those who didn't have anything got palm branches and late they you know what they were doing they were preparing the way of the king we're talking about preparing the way of the Lord make straight in the desert a highway for our God the next verse is going to tell you what you can do as an individual and as a church even as a city to prepare the way of the Lord because hear me he is coming he is coming he is coming what's this every Valley shall be exalted every mountain and Hill shall be made low the crooked shall be made straight and the rough places plain do you know what this right here is talk how do you how do I do that here's how I do that if I see a brother that is in need and I've actually got a little more than I need and I'm thinking about a way of putting it in a situation for I'll save it for another day and my brother's got need I'm asking you try it if you don't like the way it works go back to however you've done if you've done different than that try it begin to look through this church and if you're part of the city begin to look through the city and begin to do your best to try to make sure that every Valley or low place comes up to the level and then if you see in your own life Mountains are heels that need to be brought down low to where you're not looking down at anybody I don't care what the color of their skin is I don't care the size of their banking account I don't care what their name is I don't care their ethany it does not matter what their sin is we cannot look down on people and the mountain and Hill shall be made low watch this and the crooked shall be made straight if there's wandering in your life in and out of sin I'm pleading with you make it straight paths for your feet that that which is lame does not have to be turned out of the way but rather let it be healed the crooked placed straight and the rough places plain if there's something between you and a brother or sister in this city or in this church I'm pleading with you go humble yourself make it right make it right all the emphasis that has put on worship and rightly so but you know what that Bible said there's one thing more important than worship when you get to the altar with your gift and you remember there's something between you and a brother stop don't worship over the top of it don't say well he should have known better don't say well that's his problem it says go to your brother and do whatever you got to do to make it right then come and offer your gift that's the way I always do it you know right no I don't always do it that way I've worshipped over the top of issues that I had with a brother the rough places plane and what's gonna happen when we do these things look at this next verse do you see what this is let me read it to you and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it I just got a feeling that God is fixing to do something that from the ends of the earth they will look and stand amazed at the glory of the Lord if we will just repair the pathway so it can come now Church I have given you exactly what God has given me I've not taken away from and don't feel like I've added thereto but I will tell you again the Lord will visit Houston now again but in greater measure than he did before why Bethel Tabernacle I have no idea I have no idea I don't know if the Lord saw that you're man of God is open willing and hungry I don't know I don't know if he saw people that we're willing to get on board whatever God was good I don't know I don't know I don't know but I do know that I could not come to Houston until I stood in this pulpit tonight for 30 years for 30 years and then the time that I do finally get looking like within a day or so of coming the Lord drops that I'm telling you for two days I've walked around and it literally felt like something was down inside of my abdomen and I could begin to talk about it and I feel it literally begin to draw like he's having a stomach cramp since Wednesday about 12 o'clock or 1 o'clock so ok ok hopefully the Lord let me I really I'm a fun-loving guy but I'm gonna tell you something this superseded anything and everything and you know what I'm ready to party down baby I got my job done go and listen to this I called brother when this came on me I called her thoughts her thoughts I began to try to talk to her to talk I was just oh God but I told him I said do you know brother James Carney yes y'all know him I said call him if you if you know him ask him what happened there because what I feel now is of greater magnitude than what I felt was gonna happen at Columbia and when I went to Columbia I don't know how many years ago it's been and I stood in that pulpit and I gave them a prophecy with less feeling of magnitude than this 14 days after that one of the biggest construction companies in the state of Mississippi man and that church owned it and had been 2nd 3rd 2nd 3rd 4th in bids for and the company was almost to shut down and in 14 days Hurricane Katrina hit after I stood in that pulpit that Sunday night and they literally came to that man and said we don't have time to even go through the bidding process borrow beg steal every piece of equipment that you can get send us the
