Winsday: Clint Brown - God, where are You?

these CDs for a second just a second yeah I'm Jack I'm only ten minutes I promise ten minutes what's it one of the greatest fights of the Israelites stay with me stay with me one of the greatest fights of the Israelites came from the land of Edom Edom is the byproduct of Esau and him leaving his father's home and being cursed and being angry at his brother so he produces a nation called Edom everybody say Edom so Israel is in constant warfare with Edom Edom has become three times larger than Israel in the text that I'm going to show you somebody say sometimes the odds are against me are you here ah what's this and so Israel cannot go forward until God gives them a word because oftentimes they went to battle on their own feelings and their own attitudes and they would lose so they had to have a prophetic word from God to move forward so they stood in a hundred and twenty-two pounds of armor in the middle of the noonday Sun at attention waiting on a word from God to go forward and fight against an army three times greater stronger and more powerful and what's this the greatest adversary you will ever face is a wounded one Israel is not fighting from a wounded spirit they were the tricksters they were a product of Jacob Esau is a wounded person and sometimes the most dangerous person you could have a fight is somebody that is already wounded are you hearing me single people be careful whenever you start dating somebody that a over the last person that they were connected to its a dangerous combination are you here and so they're standing there sweat is pouring from their from their brow down their backs they're in the heat of the Middle East I don't know if you're like me but I picture myself standing by two warriors saying I don't know when God's going to say something but I sure hope he says something soon because if the enemy don't kill us this heats gonna get us they were standing there and I read in my Bible it's it's it reads like this in Isaiah 63 the Bible says that the prophet Isaiah steps up on the scene and makes this declaration I don't know if television has Isaiah 63 1 but it makes this declaration it says who is this that covers from Eden with died garments from Basra this that is glorious in his a pair of traveling in the greatness of his strength I that speak in righteousness mighty to save Isaiah is looking down toward the road and the battles and sees a figure coming down the road he says wherefore art thou read in 9 apparel thy garment like him that treadeth in the wine that and he says in verse 3 watch it switches now the figure that it that Isaiah is seeing opens his mouth and says I had trodden the winepress alone and other people that was none with me for I will trap them in mine anger and trample them in my fury first for and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments and I will stain all my raiment for the day of vengeance is in my head and my hand and the year of my reading the I hear me is come tell somebody say vengeance is mine saith the Lord and let me tell you real quick vengeance is not when God finds your adversary and pays them back business is when God finds you and pays you back for everything the enemy's done in your life that's when Vinge's is that it's full work somebody shout hallelujah watch this now watch this now I'm closing right now y'all don't even realize it watch this a miracle has taken place I came to winds-day night Bible study that's what everybody's having across America now because nobody wants to have church no more so they have Bible study a little group of people get together but I like coming to world Harvest Church where we have church on Wednesday night and whoever missed out ms will miss out on it look at your neighbors say neighbor you're in the middle of it but it's Wednesday y'all didn't hear me tell somebody on the other side of you say neighbor you're in the middle of it but it's Wednesday hallelujah what I love about that story is this pastor germane what's this the army is a raid and ready to go to battle against Edom but all of a sudden Isaiah sees this figure coming down the dusty road as randy Phillips wrote there's a promise back in the day coming down your dusty road and all of a sudden sale begin was to describe what he sees he says I see an individual that is coming from Edom and it looks like he's been in a wine that pressing down grapes because his garment is red like grapes and the voice that's in the middle of the road you didn't hear what I said the voice that was in the middle of the road that I've decided to show up today to let you know that it is I may of the Lord and the Bible says that God said this is not wine juice this is blood whipping from my garment and I did it all by myself you're hearing what I'm saying you said have to please break that down I'm glad you asked me to notice the battle is in Edom they're about to go to eat them but all of a sudden they see something coming from Edom in other words if you're wondering tonight where the hell got here touch your neighbors now I know you warned every now and then in the middle of your house where is God have you ever been in the middle of something and said not where are you can I tell all Harvest Church what's the date I don't even know the date to what it's the 18th Wednesday the 18th you can shout it God where are you you only tell you what dogs telling you God said I'm already in Thursday on the 19th fighting the battle that you are going to have to fight all by your step [Music] not two or three people and tell neighbor he's already got the victory and he's brought it back to you to give it to you meeting in the middle of the road stay where you are stay where you are so watch what we do watch this we don't have the promise of tomorrow we only have today this is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad not yet in it some of y'all been waiting a brazen after it but I king the comers to tell you praise him while you're still in it because while you're praising he's in your tomorrow fighting for you where's my crazy praise attack throw your handcuffs and thank him given appraisal credit give him a brazen credit I'm done listen listen to me I was gonna preach all kind of stuff but god interrupts things god yes where are you he said I I showed up early so that you wouldn't have to go through what you having to go through [Applause] sometimes when he shows up earlier it seems like he's showing up late and I've asked God why you letting me go through this I mean I know I ain't perfect I heard a preacher the other day he pointed his finger at the camera on Christian TV he said I liquor ain't never passed these lips he said smoke ain't never passed these lips he said I never cut they used a cuss word in my life he said I never been to a club I ain't never been to an r-rated movie he said these lips have never kissed anybody but my wife I turned him off I couldn't relate I've done all that since I've been pastoring I'm just trying to be transparent I know y'all holy in all that but there's a few y'all attach some BC days you know that is before Christ come on somebody some of y'all got some DC days during Christ hey God why you let me go through all this turmoil and this trouble and God says because sometimes I need to let you get to a place where you realize it could only be me and nothing else that got you through it they ran out to meet Jesus in the middle of the road while Lazarus was laying in a grave and I didn't know this until I studied deep into the text and studied the culture of the text Jesus Lazarus is sick and the Bible says Jesus stayed where he was while his friend was sick now in in chapter 2 he showed up at somebody's wedding he didn't even know and turn water into wine did y'all hear me before chapter 11 what's this he took five loaves and two fish and fed 5,000 people he never met in his life is anybody here in chapter 4 he said that her well and talked with a woman that had been hoeing around for years five or ex-husbands and the one she's living with you when he married two but he went sat and took time with her who needs friends like that that'll minister to strangers and do miracles for people that don't even know but when I needed he stays where he is and I didn't know it until I studied the generational text of that day and do you know that in that day they did not give any miracles credit for the resurrection of the Dead because they believed that the spirit of a man hovered over his body for 72 hours so jesus said if I come over and raised him from the dead within two days they all say it was the spirit that was hovering over him but if I wait till he starts thinking and I show up late sometimes when he shows up late he shows up early are you here and they took the three Hebrew boys and bound them they made a mistake they shouldn't have bound them together but the scripture says in Daniel chapter 3 they found him and the minute they bound them time had to be race and protocol had to be erased because wherever two or three are gathered together he said there am I in the midst but he said in my name well nobody was say in the name of Jesus but the trouble is is they bound the three and put him in the fire and whenever condesa looked in the nick of the fire he said I see one two three four like they say at my church and he says and the one that's the fourth looks like the son of God wait a minute has to build you're a theologian the son of God will not have a picture taken until Luke chapter one so how do we know what Jesus looks like all the way back in Daniel chapter 3 because God has a way of being pulled out of tomorrow's and brought back into your today to tell you it's going to be alright so I came to tell you the wins day night don't worry about it raise them in the middle of your week because the mint [Music] somebody shout he'll come in the middle and take me over lift your hands in this place and give God a break [Music] you've got to bring Halloween my god is off he can move now keep me high my god kills me when I'm free and weak and forever come on somebody said my god is he can move her mouth [Music] [Music] father we thank you tonight because we understand that you are the man in the middle we are not confused tonight that Cal replaced you in the middle and we are not confused that you were put in the midst on a cross that is shaped like a flood because we have the advantage with you in the middle we thank you tonight for showing up right in the middle of our issues right in the middle of our turmoil and our trouble and bringing to us the victory of tomorrow's battle letting us know it's in the midst of our trouble that you show up to declare who you are what you are and where you are everybody say he is the god of yesterday today and tomorrow I don't have yesterday I'm not in tomorrow but I'll praise him in my today how many will give him the praise right now in your today I'm gonna given the phrase in your kadai [Music] you can be seated in this place right in front of you sitting in this building watch this every person in this building you're in the midst of some type of issue in your life financially and when we talk about these things we rarely we rarely keep our ears open we shout while the word is going but whenever the demand is made we close things off not too long ago I had a pastor appreciation and a young man a line of people came and gave me an offering for being their pastor their head of their life spiritually and I kept seeing this young man drift to the back drift to the back he kept being the last one in the line I watched him he would look back to me there were two or three people he had told at the back go to the back he wanted to be last and I thought oh oh Lord he's gonna tell me his life story but when he finally got to me twenty six-year-old young african-american young men he was holding an orange tie in his hand and he said pastor the reason I wanted to be last is cuz he said I'm embarrassed it was all crimped up rolled up pastor he said this is all I have he said it's the nicest thing I have he said it's my tie I'm the assistant manager at Popeyes and this the tie I had to buy for Popeyes and he says the nicest thing I have but I wanted to give it to you because I don't have any money and I didn't want to leave without giving you something because you've been a blessing to my life I held that orange tie with grease on it and I prayed for him and watched him walk out of that door and I told him don't ever put your head down whenever you've done your best are you here I read a little thing the other day it said I gave you $20 he gave you $100 and you loved him more but what you didn't realize is he gave you $100 and he had thousands I only had 20 are y'all here he walked out that backdoor for months after he walked out that backdoor my head usher in armored bears came to where I am in the greenroom and knocked on the door said there's a man and a woman very very well dressed outside elderly they would like to see you before the service starts I walk out the door and there they stand stately beautiful dressed beautifully dressed gentleman stretched his hand out and said I just wanted to meet you and tell you you've changed my life I said well thank you so much I said are you a part of our church he said no I've never heard you preach I said okay I said you ever heard any of our music he said no I didn't even know you a singer okay he said I don't know anything about you and so why how long have I changed your life he said you probably don't remember a young man four months ago and he named the young man he said he gave you an orange from Popeyes on your pastor appreciation I said yes I do he said that was my nephew he said I was diagnosed with cancer a year and a half ago and I've been going back and forth to Cleveland Ohio to the Mayo Clinic and he said we don't have any kids my wife and I he's my nephew so I called him and I said I won't even come take my business in Jacksonville Florida and my seat so he said my nephew moved to Jackson now he owns the business my wife and I had for 32 years in Jacksonville I looked at him and I said well what type of business is it he said it's a men's clothing store are you here and every every month on the first you would know mean he just sold the business five years ago but he would mail me a brand new pen called eat I on the first of every month and on top of he would say he would say you have changed my life this gentleman looked at me and he said well how did I change your life he said the day I gave my business to that nephew of mine the next week we went back to Cleveland Ohio and they did a scam and the doctor said I don't know how to save it but there is no cancer in your body at all [Music] and he said he looked at his wife and he said well what are we gonna do about Leonard she said are you crazy she said I believe that that was God that the minute we gave that business away God took your situation into his own hands are you here are you listening to me when you get an opportunity to give you need to understand that behind every seed there is a miracle waiting on you I want every person to reach in front of you and get an envelope in your hand get an envelope in your hand right now every one of you I'm not suggesting and I'm telling you to do it this is a commandment amen hold it up right now hold it up so I can see you're being obedient hold it up so you see you're being obedient you want a front-row reach back and grab one on the back of it on the back of it I won't shoot a right he's God in the middle he's God in the middle I see [Music] cannot get to the middle until it leaves your hand it's in your hand it's in the ground then it produces fruit but they can't get to the middle until it's released out of your hand so as long as it's in your hand and I don't care who thinks you can come out I dare anybody to challenge me as long as I've got an apple seed in my hand a tree will never be born but when I put it in the soil and step back now I'm watching it in the middle and I'm telling you that whatever you put in that envelope tonight if you're watching our way of streaming whatever you sow right now you are sowing in the middle you don't see the harvest all you see is the seed but you're about to let it disappear into the middle but here's good news and then I'm going I'm gonna shut up and give it the best appeal here's the good news watch this look down at that feed look down at now I'm telling you if you're looking down at nothing get ready for nothing to come back now watch this look down at that seed you see it you are what's right with the care of gene watch this you see it you do what happens whenever you so uh see it goes into the ground and now you cannot see it here's the good news while we look not at the things which are seen wait a minute as long as you can see it it's temporary but the moment you can no longer see it it's eternal it lasts forever that's why when I go back to Louisiana and my grandfather planted pear trees my kids climb on them and our kids kids are climbing on them and picking pears and my grandfather's been dead since 1969 because watch this if you want to hold on to that seed you hold on to it if you want to but it's temporary in your hand but the minute you release it and you can no longer see it God says it becomes eternal and it will last forever but it will not last until you put it in the middle now raise it high raise it high raise it high in the midst of this sanctuary father we thank you for soars we thank you for give us we thank you for those that are watching live around the world that are not sitting in their homes and doing nothing but their sowing right now in the mists of this season because your god of the middle and we know that this seed will last longer than us it'll be a tree that will produce for generations to come in Jesus name and everybody said amen and amen and amen lift your hands with your hands with that seat one more time one more time and just declare it just say Oh [Music] when I'm [Music] my dog come he can keep me Jaime from nore my naughty dog he'll be when I broke a drink where I did we forever my god worship Him and you're giving Oh Oh [Music] Oh [Music] somebody needs to thank Bishop Clint Brown for sharing that word with us come on now that was a Wims day night message right there that we can take all week long
