sound and a word from god we need a clear word from god anybody came to have the word speak to you this morning come on anybody ready for the word of the lord in the house amen so without delay i want to turn your attention to the book of jeremiah chapter 8 and verse 21. jeremiah chapter 8 and verse 21 and while you're turning there i i've sought the lord earnestly i've sought the lord earnestly and what i feel in my spirit cannot be expressed in mere words all all that i can say is that there is an aroma of the spirit of god that's lingering in this house right now and if i can convince any person in this room today i want to convince you that god can heal every situation in your world if i can convince anyone of anything in this house this morning i want to convince you that it doesn't matter what your world has and do the calamity of your life the complexions of your situations i've come to tell you and the devil that god can do anything [Music] i wish i had somebody that believed what i'm telling you right now i'm telling you even in the midst of darkness there's a god that is full of light that will step into the darkness in your world and change the fabrics of your situation and you will not leave the house of god the same i've come to tell you that jesus is in the midst of the house and if you just reach out and grab it oh i feel the holy ghost right now hey if you just reach out and grab the lord as he passes by i've come to tell somebody that there's a spirit flowing in the house and i want that spirit to get all over me hallelujah jesus hallelujah jesus amen amen i i want to do my best to feel after the lord and preach a declaration into this house amen all the visitors that are here we are we are one and the same this morning i'm visiting amen so that means

home church praise god amen let's give the visitors a hand clap in the house amen i've given you time to get there jeremiah 8 and 21 when you have it shout a man jeremiah the weeping prophet begin to lament over the people of god beginning to lament and weep and cry over people people that he saw something he saw he saw something that lied beneath the surface and i want to preach to the souls of people this morning is all right if i just preach a little while and jeremiah began to exclaim and lift up his voice and said for the hurt of the daughter of my people am i hurt he said i i am black and astonishment had taken hold on me now you may not understand what he's saying so in another transliteration what jeremiah's trying to convey here he's saying since my people are crushed anybody ever been crushed by life before come on anybody ever had some hurts before he said since my people are crushed he said i i feel that pain when he says i am black what he's saying is and it causes me to mourn it gets all in my spirit i want to tell you that we have to be sensitive to the people that are around us he said i mourn and i'm grieved and horror grips me and then he asks the golden question for the gold air he asks the question is there no bomb in gilead he said is there no physician there is there no bomb in gilead is there no physician there why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered i want to tell you right now that in the midst of world full of questions i'm glad that we have the answers come on on a sunday morning i wish somebody in the house would know that every question you have in your world does jesus love me does he care does he see my heart does he know my pain does he understand where i am and i've come to tell somebody yes he does is there a bomb in gilead he is there a bomb in gilead and i've come to declare a spirit in this house and preacher the hearts the mind the souls of the people and the sanctuary and declare a voice and tell you there is a bomb [Music] oh i'll say it again i pray somebody hear me right now and let it get all in your spirit there is a bomb and gilead oh i wish you would lift up your hands and let the spirit of the aroma of god get a hold of your family right now come on somebody pray in the spirit right now feel half of the spirit let the holy god of heaven let the ointment of god the aroma of the power of god come on let it touch your heart right now come on let it get a hold of your mind right now i i know you have questions i know you have hurt but there is a bomb in killian [Music] [Applause] [Music] come on anybody feel the spirit of god flowing right now come on from the floor to the balcony lift up your hands oh there is a bomb there's a bomb there's a fragrance there's an aroma of the spirit of god that's flowing in the house amen amen somebody turn to your neighbor and say there is a bomb in gilead amen god bless you in the fear of the lord clap your hands as you being seated in jesus name there is a bomb in gilead i think it would be proper this morning that if we're going if we're going to diagnose our own worlds we must take consideration the world around us my show of hands has there been anybody in this room that's within the last two years the last few months the last week or even yesterday know what it feels like to have hurt in your world is there anybody in the house that knows what it feels like for darkness to encroach into your life to have pain that you don't understand to have situations you can't extrapolate understanding from anybody know what i'm talking about in the house i think i think if you've been human for any amount of time you know what it feels like to have pain you know what it feels like to hurt and we in the sanctuary are not exempt from the same pain the same hurts the same struggles as those outside of the doors we live in a world that is cascaded and full of hurt somebody shout amen we're in a world that people from the exterior of their worlds the fabrics of their clothing you can't see what's going on beneath the surface but i've come to tell you that people are hurting but i've not come to be a bearer of bad news this morning i've not come to be a psalmist of sad songs i've come to remind somebody and even inform a soul in this room that even in the world where life is dark and worlds are bruised and hearts are hurting i've come to remind somebody that there is a physician in the house oh yeah i've come to remind somebody that there is a bomb that's lingering in the house there is a god in gilead there is healing and hope for a hurting world i don't know why you've come to church this morning but i've come to tell you i know where my my healing comes from i don't know why you stepped in the sanctuary on a sunday morning but i know why and i know where my help comes from anybody know where your help comes from anybody know that in the midnight hour when tears are saturating your pillow i know i can wake up and get to the house of god there is a bomb in gilead hold somebody clap your hands if you know there's a bomb there's a bomb there he is a bomb in gilead somebody shout bomb and gilead there is a bomb and gilead and i want to be sensitive this morning is it all right if i just preach a little while i want to be sensitive jeremiah was sensitive to the hurts of the people around him and he understood that unless there was an intervention that took place that some people were not going to make it he understood that unless there was an intervention that took place that somebody was going to go to bed another night with a sleepless night but i've come to help somebody in the sanctuary and let you know that there is a god that is well acquainted with everything that's going on in your world there is a god that is well understanding of all the darkness that i wish somebody would help me preach right now of all the darkness and the chaos that's going on in your world he sees he knows and there he is about talk talking about old songs anybody like those old songs there there was an old hymnal that was seen in the in the days of the the hammond arguing in the days where people just sung choruses unto the lord and there was an old song that they pulled out of those songbooks and it was a song that was singing there is a bomb in gilead and i i want to tell you that that's more than just a hymn it's more than just a psalm what is a bomb in gilead what what does that even mean i want to unpack this this morning because when you understand that there's a bomb in gilead you'll stand up straighter and you'll walk into work and you won't have your head hanging down because you'll understand that the spirit that's slinging in this sanctuary you can take it home with you oh i'ma say it again i said you don't have to leave the spirit of god lingering in the altars and lingering in the balcony and flowing into sanctuary no sir no ma'am you can take the bomb the fragrance of god in but but to diagnose you may be seated but to diagnose the bomb and gilead i think it's proper to understand what gilead is somebody shout gilead gilead is a region that is on the eastern side of the jordan river a well-known region and this region is known for several things firstly it's known for its unique topography the landscape of the land because gilead is known as a land of many hills somebody shout heels and in this hilly region out of these hills comes the production of a very rare perfume a very rare fragrance a bomb if you will and this bomb this fragrance in this day was known to have great medicinal qualities anybody ever needed healing in the house this bomb was known to have great medicinal qualities and if you lived anywhere within the surrounding regions of gilead you understood in this land of hills that if you needed healing you needed to go to gilead if you wanted to be healed of infirmity you must know that in this land this region of physicians that if you went to gilead there would be a prescription there i feel my help in the house right now can i just tell you that when you show up to the house of god we're not filling out prescriptions for prozac for tylenol or forbidden drill but there's this prescription that's filled in the house of god that can heal your family that can save your soul that can deliver your chil i wish i had somebody in the house right now that know that there's a god in gilead that there's a prescription from the god of heaven there's healing in the house of god it's all right if i just take my time a little bit i'm unpacking this we're gonna we're gonna let the spirit move but i want you to hear me first and then gilead in gilead they knew that if you were going to be healed everything that you tried everything that you've tried to remedy yourself from there's some things that you could not have solved unless you found gilead cannot tell you that education is good but education will not heal your soul can i tell you that money everybody loves a good good bank account but it won't deliver your soul can i tell you a good house a good job a good family a good 401k all those things are good but if you really want to have good in your life you need to find the god of gilead you need to find the god of anybody hear me preach to you right now and when when listen when when you find gilead there's more and gilead there than the bomb they knew that there was a bomb of fragrance of medicinal help but the jews and their custom when you begin to translate the word gilead we begin to translate the word gilead the word gilead literally means the hills of testimony oh i wish i had three people that just felt that right there anybody got a testimony in the house i said anybody gotta tell i see you in the back anybody got a testimony in the house the hills of testimonies i cannot tell you that in a time in a world where you're trying to figure out the answers to your questions and trying to find out god how am i going to get out of my present circumstance can i tell you that sometimes the key to unlock the future that god is trying to bring you to you got to take a glance to the heels of the testimonies that god has brought you from oh i wish i had three people that would help me preach in the house can i tell you that i know you got it rough and life has beaten you to a pope but if you just pulled out a testimony in your back pocket the same god that came over the hill yesterday yeah it's the same i i've come to help somebody in the valley right now i know you're deep down in a low place in the valley of despair but there's a god that will come over the hills of glory and meet you right to where you are i wish i had somebody that knew what it felt like to be in a valley by yourself with no friends with no family with nobody to turn to but there's a shepherd in the valley there is a bomb there's a bomb in kilian this is all right this morning oh i feel the spirit of king david in the house because david understood that there was a god in the god of gilead was the god of hills but he was not only the god of hills he was the god of valleys can i tell you when you're crying yourself to sleep you are not by yourself because if you begin to call upon the name of jesus i say you begin to call upon the i wish somebody knew what it felt like when you didn't have anybody by your side and you begin to whisper jesus jesus and jesus begins to step in your room and the bomb of gilead begins to flow in your room hey it's flowing right now can you feel it i said it's flowing right now can you feel it they even understood david understood the heels of his testimony david david began to write in psalm 121 and 1. he said he said this is what he said watch this this is why you got to understand that the heels the heels the heels of your testimony is where you pull your strength from david lifted up his head he said i will lift up my eyes unto the hills somebody shout hills until the hills from wince cometh my help well i wish i want to tell somebody helps on the way i want to tell your sister helps on away you trying to raise those kids by yourself but the bomb and gilead is going to give you strength i said the bomb of gilead is going to but david david didn't unpack listen david david didn't unpack this testimony out of nowhere david didn't write psalm 121 and one out of thin air because if you back up several hundred verses late before previously in psalm three and four david david began to write and said i began to cry unto the lord he said i cried unto the lord with my voice shaking and trembling crying and weeping and david said in my low place in my valley in my long time by myself i cried anybody cried before he said i cried unto the lord and all of a sudden the god of gilead he peered over his ears and i saw something coming up over the hills of that valley and david said he heard my voice out of his holy heel i said he's hearing your voice from his holy heel your prayers are not deafened in the hears of god he knows [Music] what am i telling somebody right now i know you feel like you're in darkness and in the valley by yourself but when you're in the valley all you need is a testimony because we're made overcomers by the word by the word of our testimony i wish three people would stand up and say i got a testimony in my darkness i got a testimony in the valley i don't think they're hearing what i'm telling them right now i don't think you understand what i'm telling you right now you mean to tell me preacher i'm losing my job i'm losing my mind i'm losing my health i'm losing my strength i don't have much of a testimony but the problem is you have a testimony you're just not thinking hard enough it's all right if i just help some people out right now i'm not to the bomb yet we're just talking about gilead you got to understand that there's a hill of testimony there's testimonies that come from the hills that god has already brought an answer to your house and here it is lamentations 3 and 22 will let you understand why you do have a testimony well i wish lamentations to the lament is to cry i want to preach for some people you've been crying all night long but even in the cry of your house you gotta understand that your cry there's still a testimony that you can dry your eyes with it's still a testimony you can encourage your wife with there's still a testimonial and here's why you have a testimony hear this because the bible says that it is of the lord's mercies somebody shout mercy come on somebody shout mercy come on shout it like you ever had mercy step up and show up on your doorstep it is of the lord's mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not now you might not understand what that means in the vernacular of lamentations but let me break it down in north carolina language for you right now but it's because of the lord's mercies that you're not in a hospital room on a villa nation tank it's because of the lord's mercies that in a global pandemic your business is not bankrupt it's because of the lord's mercies that your kids are in the house of god and not in a jail cell i wish somebody would let mercy get a hold of your soul that's his sister let the bomb and gilead remind you i have a testimony hey somebody ought to lift up your hands and let the aroma flow right now i've got a testimony i'm not dying i'm not going down there's healing for my soul hey you want to worship god for about 10 seconds with a testimony in your hand you ought to let the bomb and gilead come over the hills come with your help anybody feel a charge in your spirit right now come on anybody really feel the charge of the anointing of god right now i told you about the heels of gilead but can i tell you what you're feeling right now can i tell some visitors what you're feeling right now over the hills into the valleys of gilead was a sweet fragrance of a bomb if you're just not sure what it is that you're feeling that's getting a hold of you right now that's making you feel like you know what i can have strength if i just lift up my hands you know what i feel a little bit stronger when i begin to pray can i tell you what that is can i tell you what that is it's the bomb and gillian and god is not only the god that hears you in the valley but some of you think that you've gotten way low lower than the valley is low and i just appreciate you for a little while some of you said dog preacher her valley is fast and i i got places i can run and hide i don't feel like i'm in a valley i feel like i'm in a deep and horrible pit anybody ever felt like you've been in a pit before oh i feel the holy ghost right now oh but can i tell you about the pit because david knew that god the god of gilead was not just a god of the hills in the valleys but david was a product of the prayers from the pit i thought david in psalms 40 and one knew what it felt like to cry out to god from a deep dark lonely low place i want to tell you right now the holy ghost is ministering to people right now you think nobody knows where you are but there is no pit that is deep enough there is no dark place dark enough that god can reach down his hand into the muck of the spirit and pull you out brother andrew there's people in the house they've been praying for prayers for a long time praying for god to do something for a long time and you said god you're not listening to me god you don't understand me why would you leave me here by myself why would you leave me but if you understand the values you got to understand the pits and they even understood the pits he said i waited patiently on the lord anybody been waiting on the lord i want to tell you in the holy ghost right now your answer is coming from gilead this sunday morning i said god is showing up with a bomb in his hand and he's come to let you know i don't have questions i have answers and they're in my hands is there no bomb in gilead there is there is there is about he said with the same god i cried to in the valley i had to learn to cry to him in the pit and he said i i began to incline of the lord and guess what church hey guess what church he heard me again summit some of you right now you're looking at me i'm sweating and i'm all zealous in spirit but i'm not sweating for no reason i've come here on a sunday morning to tell you uh to tell somebody with a sense of soul to tell somebody with a marriage on your own the rights to tell somebody with turmoil in your mind there is a bomb in kilian there is a bomb and killed hey somebody can get the holy ghost will you just lift up your hands and let the bomb get a hold of you here here it is but here here here is where i convinced you that god can show up exactly where you are here is where i convince you that god can reach you no matter how low it is he can reach you wherever you are brother god's talking to you right there in the jean jacket he's talking to you he sees exactly where you are hi todd come on let the bomb get a hold of you no more i want i want to talk to some specific people in the house i want to talk to the people that have more purpose than you think you have i want to talk to the people that have more destiny at stake than you think you have it's alright if i just talk to you because you can't talk about the pit without bringing up this young boy by the name of joseph yeah you can't talk about a low place where you feel lonely and by yourself and you don't understand why you put in the positions you are but i want to talk to you right now because joseph's story in genesis 37 is a story of the bombing gilead what are you talking about preacher yeah joseph knew what it felt like for his family to turn on him anybody know what that feels like anybody anybody know what it feels like to be ridiculed light on and have your name defamed because you choose to live for god i'm preaching to you right now in the holy ghost but i want to tell you you are not by your self there is a bomb and killian and his brothers turn on him his brothers turn on him and they concocted a plan to kill their brother they're going to leave him out to dry hang him out to die and so they decided to throw him the ocean in a deep pit and said we're going to leave him there because the bible tells us in genesis 37 and 24 that the pit that they threw in him in was dark and it didn't have water in it which means that they had the intent to kill him but i've come to tell you that if god has declared a destiny in your life the devil can do everything he can but kill you i wish i had somebody in the balcony i said if god has a promise that is unfulfilled and a prayer that has not been answered how come to tell somebody that the devil cannot kill you if god has not healed you yet when you begin to remember the hills you will begin to remember the healer and why says joseph is in this pit i'm almost done preaching how you like that don't tempt me here it is joseph joseph is in this pit and i can see joseph on his knees saying god why did they do this to me god what about my dream what about what about the plans you have for me what what about the prayers you ain't answered yet i'm preaching to you right now god what about what about my my dreams my plans my prayers and his endless he's in this pit but the bible says in verse 25 here you got to watch this carefully something beautiful begin to unfold because the bible says that while he was in this pit his brothers are hanging around eating their lunch laughing about how they just destroyed the dream killer hey the devil's laughing right now but guess what god always has a last laugh hey you ought to walk around tomorrow morning on monday's work day and say you can't kill me i can't be destroyed i can't be defeated i'm getting out of this pit whether you like it or not i'm getting out of this low place whether you like it or not i wish somebody would have a choice there's a bomb in kilauea it's coming over the hills to the valleys to the pit hey i gotta hurry here it is and and joseph's in his pit joseph's in his pit and he's by himself and all of a sudden in the distance i could see coming over the hills the bible said was a caravan of ishmaelites anybody want to know where they came from anybody who just got a good idea where they came from there was a caravan of ishmaelites and they came from gilead i wish somebody would help me preach right now i said they came over the hills from gilead and the bible says that carrying with them on their camels i like that camel stuff too carrying over the hills with their camels they were bearing spices and bombs anybody curious where those bombs came from bombs from gilead and mers and they were carrying them down to egypt now that that might not make much sense to you but you got to understand that the bombs from gilead were so punched they were so powerful that even the egyptian understood that we got to use this stuff and so if you begin to study you would understand that the bombs in gilead were used in the embalming process and the mummification process they began to spray this bomb all over dead folks and the intentions was they wanted to preserve the body but i wish i had somebody shout with me right now y'all don't even know what that means do you i said the bomb in gilead will preserve the body this truth this heritage this doctrine of when the spirit of god begins to move i want to tell you the church ain't going nowhere there is a bomb in gilead oh you're not hearing what i'm telling you i said that the bomb in gilead will preserve the body the body of christ will be preserved can i tell you mama we got to let the bomb the aroma of the spirit get on our family can i tell you i need the bomb in gilead to get on my children y'all still not hearing what i'm telling you right now you got to let the aroma of the spirit uh don't let this worship stuff don't let it die oh don't let this howl running stuff you better let the bomb of the spirit work in the house let it work i wish somebody will worship god right now and let the bomb flow i wish you would let the aroma of the spirit uh get a hold of your family uh let the aroma of the spirit uh get a hold of your situation not todd here it is i need three minutes and 42 seconds that means come to the music because joseph is in this pit and i can see joseph like david praying god get me out of this horrible pit god pulled me out of this fiery clay david said he established my goings he he set my feet on a rock god come get me out of this pit am i preaching anybody right now hey you ought to be praying god come get me out of this pit oh yeah [Music] and joseph joseph as he praying listen listen i i have i have a child like imagination so please forgive me while i illustrate this is not this is not bible but i'm putting myself in the pit like joseph was there and joseph's in the spirit and he's he's lifting up his eyes to the skies with the lights coming from god get me out and as his eyes are lifted i can i can see myself young joseph i can i can see all of a sudden a westward wind begins to blow and over the hills from gilead strapped to the caravan of camels that might not mean much to you but i can i can see young joseph in that pit trying to figure out like some of you trying to figure out god i'm gonna god how i'm gonna pay my bills god how i'm going to convince my husband to come to church with me and that whisper wind begins to blow and i'm just my imagination i can see joseph i can i can see joseph gets a whiff of a fragrance what's that smell it's a pure fragrance what what is that aroma he doesn't know what it is he he doesn't know why he's there i'm preaching i'm ministering to people right now you have no idea why you're in the situation you're in right now but god but god but god is a god from gilead [Music] and all of a sudden his brothers this caravan and they said minute we don't really we don't really want to kill our brother let's let's sell him yeah that's what we do let's let's betray him so they reach in that pit and they they pulled joseph out and i can see joseph now oh i really got a good whiff of this aroma now [Music] and with his hands tied and his feet tied like a slave his brothers are selling him to these traitors and it's by end she's getting closer to these camels and in the back of his mind i i don't know i'm just i'm just being young joseph right now what was that smell what was that aroma i smelled in that pit i could see them getting a whiff of those camels and no that's definitely not it they don't smell too good [Music] then he smells another another aroma that smells better oh i i recognize that it smells smells like myrrh oh yeah i recognize that but what what is that other smell what is that aroma what is that young joseph that's the bomb from gilead can i tell you what i feel in the house right now there are people that are shackled up hands and feet bound up your mind is in chains your world is in chains feathered and tired you don't have joy you don't have peace you don't have hope you don't feel like you're going to get out of your situation but i've come to tell you that strapped
