And I feel like tonight, I don't 38 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,080 know, I'm, I'm going to read a, a story that we're used to 39 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,280 reading also mark the 14th chapter and I'm going to start 40 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:45,000 it verse #32 and I'm going to read down and then I'll jump a 41 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,560 little bit. And they came to a place which 42 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,280 was called Disseminate. And he said to his disciples, 43 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:03,200 Sit here while I shall pray. And he taketh with him. 44 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:11,400 Everybody say, taketh with him, Peter, and James and John, and 45 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,480 began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy, and saith unto 46 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,320 them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death. 47 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:32,640 Tarry ye here and watch. Everybody sayeth, watch, drop 48 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:42,160 down to verse #37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and 49 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,600 saith unto Peter, Simon, Sleepest thou, couldest not thou 50 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:54,360 watch? One hour glory. 51 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,040 I want to turn now to First Corinthians. 52 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:09,080 First Corinthians chapter #12 and read a few verses of 53 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:17,720 Scripture here. 12 and 17. If the whole body were an eye, 54 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,640 where were the hearing? And if the whole we're hearing 55 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,960 where were the smelling? But now have God set the 56 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:39,800 members, every one of them in the body that it has pleased him 57 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:52,560 have to help me now one drop down to verse #25 He says about 58 00:04:52,560 --> 00:05:00,520 the body that there should be no schism in the body, but that the 59 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:07,240 members should have the same care one of another. 60 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,280 God help us tonight. Lord, I need you. 61 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:16,680 I feel your presence in this house. 62 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,720 I'm asking Lord for the Holy Ghost to move in here. 63 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240 Oh shut up. Oh my God. 64 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:29,160 Oh my God. No. 65 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:37,400 You're the most have your way. Lord Jesus, I pray touch lives 66 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,040 tonight. Change us God, change us through 67 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,600 this message. I pray in your holy name. 68 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,320 Amen. Amen. 69 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:54,960 You can be seated in Jesus name. I want to preach on this 70 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,280 subject. Just one hour and alone. 71 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:10,960 Just one hour and alone to me as this has been moving and working 72 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,640 on in my mind for some time. The saddest scripture that was 73 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,160 ever read is the one about Gethsemane. 74 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:32,480 Because if you'll notice in scripture that the Lord tells he 75 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,960 takes three with him leaves the first bunch back here. 76 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,720 But he said, Peter, James and John, I want you to go with me. 77 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:47,720 And he took them up to a certain spot, and he said for them to 78 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,880 stay there. He said, I, I want you to stay 79 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,720 here, tarry here. I want you to tarry here. 80 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560 Amen. I want you to tarry here and 81 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,040 watch. And the Bible said he went a 82 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200 little farther and he began to pray and be sorrowful. 83 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,680 The saddest story in the Bible is that Jesus took three men 84 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:20,840 that were his disciples and you know as well as I do that the 85 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,800 reason he took them is because these are the ones that stood 86 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,040 out. That was always by side even 87 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,920 later, but he took three with him. 88 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,360 But there was nobody else to help him in so much so that the 89 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Bible teaches that there was angels come that ministered to 90 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,280 him, but yet his own disciples would not pray and watch. 91 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:58,040 What a sad thing. Hallelujah, praise the Lord and 92 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,440 I I want to I want to just kind of bring this to life tonight. 93 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,400 He said I want you in verse 34. He said I want you to tarry here 94 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,760 and watch. He told the three, I want you to 95 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,000 Terry here and watch that word. Terry there in the Greek means 96 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,840 to endure. Everybody said endure. 97 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,360 Now sometimes enduring is not easy. 98 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,880 Hallelujah. Then it says to persevere is 99 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,559 another meaning or to be alive, not to sleep, to be an 100 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,799 expectancy. I don't know about you, but when 101 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,520 I think of the three that He took with them, this is what He 102 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,160 wanted them to do. He wanted them to stay alive. 103 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,600 He wanted them to be an expectancy. 104 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,680 He wasn't after them to sleep, He was after them to pray with 105 00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:00,200 Him. Glory, Hallelujah, glory. 106 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,440 Let us break it down a little farther yet. 107 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,320 The word endure means this is not going to be an easy task. 108 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,240 So he called them because he had faith in them. 109 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,920 Yet he had already told Peter before the cock crows. 110 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,760 You're going to deny me three times glory Hallelujah. 111 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,520 So he is already using the wording that he used. 112 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,440 He is already letting them know that this is not going to be 113 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,360 easy tasks. This is this is not everyday 114 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,920 thing, but this is going to be hard. 115 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,640 Oh, Jesus, Hallelujah. Then he said to persevere, which 116 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,200 means to continue in spite of difficulty. 117 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,760 Come on, church. Ha, Oh my Lord, I'm about to. 118 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,080 I feel the Holy Ghost in here. I'm going to tell you, church, 119 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,320 it's not easy to praise God. There's going to be times when 120 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,600 we'll come through the church doors that we don't feel no more 121 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280 like worshiping and nothing. It's not going to be a easy 122 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,960 task, but God has called us to worship him. 123 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,000 He's called us to lift up the name of Jesus. 124 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,240 He's called us to be alive. He's called us to persevere. 125 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:27,680 Thank you Jesus. Verse 38 kind of pinpoints it 126 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,200 and tells exactly you know it. You'd think that they'd get the 127 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,120 picture. You know, if I say I want you to 128 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:40,560 tarry here and watch verse 38, he kind of spills the beans. 129 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,320 He said watch it and pray lest you enter into temptation. 130 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,480 The Spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 131 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,920 I'm going to tell you this is where we have most of our 132 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,680 problems. It's with our flesh. 133 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,560 I don't know about you, but I battle this flesh every day. 134 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,840 Come on and and I'm going to tell you it's hard to preserve 135 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,240 in that it's not a easy task to keep the flesh under control. 136 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,400 The only one that can do it is the Spirit of God that dwells on 137 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,400 the inside of me. But I got to learn to listen to 138 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:25,400 it. Glory, Jesus says Peter verse 139 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:32,040 #37 Jesus says Peter, could us not thou watch one hour think 140 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,480 about hey, how come he called Peter out? 141 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,240 Pick on Peter's day, right? Yeah, pick on Peter day. 142 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:50,080 Jesus already knew who was going to be the leader on the day of 143 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,080 Pentagon. Jesus knew ahead of time what 144 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,520 was going to happen. So what he's doing, he's calling 145 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,800 his leader out. He said if you're going to lead 146 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,840 by church, you're going to have to learn to be well. 147 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,280 You're going to have to learn to be awake. 148 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360 You're going to have to learn to worship. 149 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:10,120 You're going to have to learn to pray. 150 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,440 An hour. Come on. 151 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,680 Nothing's going to happen in the church, Peter, unless you pray. 152 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,120 And it's not a 5 minute prayer, but it may take an hour or two 153 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:35,160 to get the thing done. Glory, glory, whoo Jesus, oh 154 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,480 glory. On the day of Pentecost, they 155 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,800 came together with one mind and one purpose to receive the 156 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,760 promise. And the whole crowd of 120 was 157 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,360 there. You know what? 158 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,160 They was all there for the same purpose. 159 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,240 And they didn't meander around. They wouldn't, they wouldn't 160 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,120 just visiting. You know what they was doing? 161 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,200 They was watching and praying, you know what? 162 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Because they had already had the promise that there was something 163 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,600 going to show up on that day. So they was there. 164 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,200 You know what? The real reason we come to 165 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,680 church, I hope, is we come expecting something with 166 00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:19,320 expectancy, knowing that I'm going to go home with something. 167 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,600 Brother Aiden, come on, I may not have what I want right now, 168 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,760 but honey, when I get to church, I'm planning on getting it no 169 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:38,880 matter what. Just like the Lord knew what 170 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:45,400 Peter's assignment was going to be for the church pastor, Paul 171 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:56,920 Poole, some of you know him. I guess he was maybe the first 172 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,040 one. Well, maybe not. 173 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,440 Maybe it's been Sue's grandmother. 174 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,320 I don't know. But he was one of the first, I 175 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:10,040 guess that that noticed that maybe God had worked and done 176 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,840 something in me and I was going to be a leader and I didn't know 177 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,800 it. But I will never forget Brother 178 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,720 Mason, what he told me one day. He told me, he said, Brother 179 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,680 McGee, you've got leadership in you. 180 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,800 Watch where you take your people. 181 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,240 I will never forget that as long as I live. 182 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,240 He spoke into my life before Brother Sizemore ever did. 183 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,440 You know what? There is times that God gives 184 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,480 men of God where you're headed even before you get there. 185 00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:02,080 Brother Steve Wilson I'll never forget a man that was Brother 186 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,280 Meredith's church. Well, it was actually, it was in 187 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,400 the gymnasium, I think it was, or something. 188 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,240 But I'd been asked to preach and it was their anniversary 189 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,560 service. I don't remember what 190 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:18,440 anniversary it was, but of the church and I, I still don't know 191 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,240 how I done it, But you know, they, they give me the first 192 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,320 night I had to preach the first night. 193 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,480 Brother Steve Wilson preaching after me. 194 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,880 Lord help you talk about pressure. 195 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,760 We all know Brother Wilson. He is a preacher, extraordinary. 196 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,680 And he preached a sermon that night that stayed with me 197 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,840 forever, and they brought me back to this scripture and he 198 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,680 preached on this subject. God always works upstream. 199 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,120 If we'd only realized church that every place we go He's done 200 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,920 been there. Come on, it's not He's not a 201 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,200 stranger to where you're at. He's done been there. 202 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,360 He's hopefully he's walking ahead of me. 203 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,040 Come on, He's paving the way for me. 204 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,240 Come on. If it wasn't for him, I'd still 205 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,720 be back there. But he's paving the way. 206 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,920 Come on. Peter, couldn't you pray Just 207 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,400 one hour yet you're leaving me alone to pray. 208 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,120 I just all going to tie together before I quit. 209 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,160 Glory. Hallelujah. 210 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,640 Hallelujah. Oh, that we could all get on the 211 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,400 same page. Come on, I said. 212 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:58,600 Oh, that we could all get on the same page if we could all just 213 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,720 come to church and get on the same page for a change instead 214 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,920 of scattered minds here, you know, at work tomorrow what I've 215 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,240 done today. Come on, the week's worth of 216 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,800 work that's ahead of you. If I could just get on the same 217 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,720 page with the Lord, and if you could get on there with me, you 218 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,480 know what? It's hard telling what God would 219 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,640 even do in this house tonight. If we could all in this house 220 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:37,640 get on the same page. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, glory, 221 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,480 glory, glory, Hallelujah. I feel though, I like, like the 222 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,320 church, no one should have to pray alone. 223 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,800 I'm going to drill this hard because I'm a brother Freddie. 224 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,960 I remember second church. I remember first church, but it 225 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,880 really stands out in the second church. 226 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,640 But that's because that's when God really began to move. 227 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,200 He moved in the first one don't get me wrong, but the first the 228 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:14,600 the very first of church number another 128 brand new souls in 229 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:20,760 1996 and I've got names written down. 28 brand new souls that we 230 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,840 baptized in Jesus name and they were filled with the Holy Ghost. 231 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,360 Hallelujah first church God started. 232 00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:33,440 He let 6 get filled with Holy Ghost without me ever preaching 233 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,840 or else or even singing a song. Come on, I'm telling you, if we 234 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,360 can all get on the same page, there's nothing to keep that 235 00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:51,480 from happening right here. Hallelujah. 236 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,440 He can do it right in the midst of our service. 237 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,440 There ain't nothing wrong with the Lord taking over and 238 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,960 preaching a while. I told him. 239 00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:03,160 I laid up here on my face this afternoon on this carpet. 240 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,160 I said, Lord, I don't have to preach. 241 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:09,040 You do the preaching, You do something. 242 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,560 It's not about me, Lord. It's all about you. 243 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:21,760 It's all about your Kingdom. I don't need no accolades. 244 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,520 The Lord needs the accolades. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 245 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,680 Hallelujah. No one should have to pray 246 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,680 alone. Now I'm going to, I'm going to 247 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,200 be just as nice as I can, reach just as straight as I can. 248 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,080 It bothers me when I see people come to the altar and there's 249 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:55,720 nobody praying with them. Nobody should have to go in a 250 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,960 March alone. Hey, I remember second church. 251 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,600 People began to March. Before you know it, the whole 252 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,880 church was marching. Come on, stay with me tonight. 253 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,920 We're going to bring this around. 254 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,280 It's a, it may be a complete circle, but we're going to bring 255 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,320 it around. Hallelujah. 256 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,480 When somebody run. Next thing you know, I've seen 257 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,040 somebody run. Brother Ethan. 258 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,440 I thank you. Brother Ethan got up and run. 259 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,720 As soon as I seen that, I got up and run with him. 260 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,560 Nobody should have to run alone. When somebody stands up and 261 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,080 shouts Hallelujah, there ought to be somebody else standing up 262 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,920 and say Hallelujah, you should have to do it alone. 263 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,600 Man, I feel the Holy Ghost in here. 264 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:50,280 Whoosh, Hallelujah. We shouldn't have to be alone. 265 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,880 If Jesus didn't need to be alone and he didn't want to be alone, 266 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,280 why you think he called the other three with him? 267 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,760 I need a backup. I need somebody to pray with me. 268 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,480 Come on, Church, Did you slap? What you doing, Peter? 269 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:16,720 Sleep us now, Peter, could you not watch one hour and then the 270 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:23,920 next time he makes it very plain, watch and pray that you 271 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,360 won't enter into temptation. You know what Temptation comes 272 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:28,720 when we ain't got our mind on God. 273 00:21:36,050 --> 00:21:38,690 Thank God. When we're tempted, if we go to 274 00:21:38,690 --> 00:21:41,730 the Holy Ghost, it's on the inside that's bigger than the 275 00:21:41,730 --> 00:21:45,170 temptation on the outside. And we have trouble with that. 276 00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:47,250 I have trouble with that. You have trouble. 277 00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:49,250 It's something we fight all the time. 278 00:21:49,250 --> 00:21:52,690 But I'm going to tell you we've got power over it in Jesus. 279 00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:58,010 That's why we all want to praise God together. 280 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,520 We ought to worship him together. 281 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,960 We ought to shout Hallelujah together. 282 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:12,760 We ought to say Amen together. Oh Jesus, just one hour, but 283 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,520 alone. I've got to pray alone. 284 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,320 I'm going to pray an hour and I've got to pray alone. 285 00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:27,960 Oh, Jesus. We probably wouldn't have been 286 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,520 so nice to Peter, James and John. 287 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,320 We not might not have spoke that nice. 288 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:46,480 He treated them as these kids. Thank you Jesus, let me, let me, 289 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,320 let me, let me bring this together. 290 00:22:51,520 --> 00:23:03,800 Genesis 218 and the Lord said it is not good that man should be 291 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,360 alone. If if he said that in the 292 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:15,400 beginning, it's still good. Come on, it's not good. 293 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:23,880 I will make him a help meet for him. 294 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,520 You look it up and it says aid or assistant. 295 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,600 God is looking for assistance from His church. 296 00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:36,840 He's made us all into one body and He's brought us together for 297 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:42,120 such a time as this that He'll have assistance in winning Mount 298 00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,320 Carmel. He's brought us together so we 299 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,360 can have prayer together so our families would come in, so the 300 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:56,160 prodigal that went out the door would come back in so we can 301 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,000 have a revival of restoration. Can it happen, Bishop? 302 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,000 Yes, it can happen. I believe it's going to happen. 303 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,440 But we all got to get on the same page right now on page #1 304 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,160 Stay with me, Lori. Your residue's in the bottom, 305 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,680 Lori. Hallelujah. 306 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,160 Thank you, Jesus. Numbers 11. 307 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,240 It's a reference only. You don't have to turn there. 308 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,800 Allow me to paraphrase. Moses tells God, he said I'm not 309 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,640 able to bear all this people alone. 310 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,880 He talked to God about it. He said, Lord, I can't do this. 311 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,080 What you're wanting me to do, I can't do it. 312 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,960 I can't bear him alone. So guess what, God sends 70 313 00:24:54,280 --> 00:25:01,200 elders out of Israel and he said, Moses, we're going to 314 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:06,520 bring them down by you and I'm going to take off your spirit 315 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,800 and I'm going to put it up on them. 316 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,480 Now, I'm going to tell you, if the church ain't together, we 317 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,280 need to get together because the same thing that pastor preaches 318 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,400 here and all the minister of this church, all of us need to 319 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,600 get in that spirit that they're in. 320 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,400 You need to feel the burden the pastor feels. 321 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,480 You need to feel the burden that your youth leader is having. 322 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,960 You need to feel the burden of the next Gen. 323 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,320 Come on. God wants to do something, but 324 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,080 we've all got to work together and be obedient before it's 325 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:54,000 going to get done. Hallelujah, praise the Lord, 326 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,480 Hallelujah. So God gives him 70 elders to 327 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:04,240 bring together and he puts the Spirit upon all of the helpers. 328 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,000 Can I tell you I can't preach alone? 329 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,400 I need you. I can get up here and shout my 330 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,120 guts out, but if you ain't helping me, I can't preach. 331 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,440 The preacher gets gets his encouragement. 332 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:28,520 It's when you're out there saying Amen, Hallelujah. 333 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,640 It's so when he's preaching, he can feel like coming back. 334 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,000 And when it hits the preacher, you're going to make him preach 335 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,840 harder even yet, and he's going to preach with more meaning 336 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,800 because somebody is accepting it and sending it back. 337 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:52,240 Oh, Jesus, Hallelujah. Stay with me. 338 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,520 Hallelujah. See, pastor says that all the 339 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,720 time. Many hands make light work. 340 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,600 Come on, you know what? Wouldn't have to stand up here 341 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,680 and scream his head off if we'd all get on the same page, 342 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,480 Brother Mason wouldn't have to sing his heart out and beat his 343 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,000 fingers to death if everybody just get on the same page. 344 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:27,600 But Ethan, if we could all get on the same page. 345 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:36,440 And my Lord, hey, I can remember those days that nobody ever done 346 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,800 nothing alone. Nobody prayed alone. 347 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,640 Because if somebody hit the altar, somebody's going to be 348 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,920 there by their side praying for them. 349 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:58,520 All right, I know Brother Reese told me I could do use him for 350 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,920 anything, but I'm more surprising. 351 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,720 Brother Dakota's going to be my helper. 352 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:19,720 Brother Dakota, I want you. I want you to come up and sit 353 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,360 down my chair. Good helper. 354 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,240 Now I'm going to show you what we do in our churches. 355 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,680 Peter, James and John, they're back there. 356 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,040 You know, they're not doing anything. 357 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,960 They're sleeping. Who's praying? 358 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,640 Jesus, He's the only one. He's alone and he's praying. 359 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,520 He's got three right there. And the other bunch back there. 360 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,160 They've been asleep already forever. 361 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,880 Got all his disciples with him. There ain't none of them. 362 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,600 What if we're not careful? We come to church and our 363 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400 disciples are all sleeping while the preachers preaching. 364 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,080 Now, what I'm trying to get across is what I think we do 365 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,040 sometimes. And I'm not saying that anybody 366 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,240 is trying to do this. I'm saying it's something that 367 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,240 we got to check out. And God, I'm going to tell you 368 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,920 this wasn't in my sermon, but I'm going to tell you I'm going 369 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:46,040 to preach it or told me go get that fence I had back there, he 370 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,440 said. Because what we're doing in 371 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,920 church is we're fencing somebody in that's come for prayer. 372 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,160 Nobody can get to them. Come on. 373 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,600 We, Oh my Lord, help me preach. We've tied God's hands. 374 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,640 He can't do nothing. We're the church. 375 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,040 We're the body of Christ. If the body of Christ isn't 376 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,880 going to do nothing, Jesus can't do nothing. 377 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,640 I've got to go farther. And 378 00:30:27,370 --> 00:30:38,840 if I take it on farther. Truth is, we don't even seem. 379 00:30:48,010 --> 00:30:52,650 We're gazing down. Oh, my phone just went off. 380 00:30:52,650 --> 00:30:59,210 Let me see who that was. You'll remember in this church, 381 00:30:59,210 --> 00:31:02,410 a lot of years ago when we first moved in here, I preached a 382 00:31:02,410 --> 00:31:04,330 sermon. Loving God more than you love 383 00:31:04,330 --> 00:31:08,160 your cell phone made everybody come up and lay their phones on 384 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,520 the table. You remember that? 385 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,720 You know what I still stand on? That we ought to love God more 386 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,040 than the cell phone. That cell phone ought to take 387 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,040 all of our time in the day. We need to watch and pray part 388 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:33,680 of it. Hallelujah. 389 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:41,040 Thank you, Jesus. See what, what? 390 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,120 What God began to he began to burden me down this afternoon. 391 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:52,160 But we need to get together. We shouldn't be alone. 392 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,720 Not alone in our trial, not alone in our testing, not alone 393 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:04,480 in our sickness, not alone in our pain, not alone in our 394 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,920 broken heartedness and our depression. 395 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,560 It ought not be in the church. If that's happening in the 396 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,520 church, the church ain't where it ought to be, because this is 397 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:20,920 the Church of the living God. We are the bride. 398 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:30,440 Oh yes, Jesus, we need each other. 399 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:44,280 See, truth is, I need you. I'm still here after 30. 400 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,120 Lost track now. Been a long time. 401 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:52,040 I started helping this church in 1988. 402 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:58,160 That's been a while, and I've been around here and I've 403 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,640 watched us come up through the revival, and that's good and it 404 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,880 ought to be. But now we've slowed down in the 405 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,760 slump. You know why? 406 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,560 Because we can't get on the same page. 407 00:33:16,910 --> 00:33:19,190 I don't know how many was up here at the altar this morning 408 00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:23,950 that was praying, but I didn't see 1-2 people or three people 409 00:33:23,950 --> 00:33:27,110 around them all. We're not on the same page. 410 00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:31,150 Come on. God does not lose our vision. 411 00:33:31,950 --> 00:33:36,000 Let us not lose. Let us not lose our sympathy. 412 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,920 Let us not lose our compassion. Church, we can't live for God 413 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,440 without compassion. We can't live with God without 414 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,200 love. We got to love one another as He 415 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,560 loved us. Oh, oh, oh, I said we got to 416 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,680 love each other as he loved us. Oh boy, that puts a different 417 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:06,440 twist on the story. He who, glory man, He thought 418 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,560 enough of us that He took our sins and nailed them to the 419 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:16,440 cross. And if it wouldn't been for him, 420 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,840 you and I wouldn't be here tonight. 421 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:26,840 Glory Hallelujah. Glory Ecclesiastes verse chapter 422 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,679 4 and verse 9. I'm trying to hurry. 423 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,120 Help me. Two are better than one. 424 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,400 Everybody can say that. You could. 425 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,719 You could testify that 2 are better than one because they 426 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,679 have a good reward for the labor. 2 can do more than one 427 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,400 and else one is sitting on their prat doing nothing. 428 00:34:49,730 --> 00:34:53,170 Hey, everybody can do something in this church and you've been 429 00:34:53,170 --> 00:34:55,449 called to do. If you're a part of this body, 430 00:34:55,929 --> 00:35:05,970 you're not a loafer. The truth comes out. 431 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:16,520 Come on, We all got to do our part, brother. 432 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,240 Even if we want to have church, we'll have to jump a little bit. 433 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,720 Come on, we'll have to run a little bit, go have to shout a 434 00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:31,480 little bit, maybe a whole lot. Because some things you got to 435 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,400 shout your way through, some things you got to pray your way 436 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:43,800 through. Just one and you fell asleep. 437 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,920 Why aren't you praying, buddy? You're going to have a job when 438 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,480 I come up out of that grave. You're going to have a job on 439 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:59,280 your hands. Oh, yes, Lord Hallelujah. 440 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,400 Who's better than one? Because they have a good reward 441 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,040 for their labor. I'd like now notice and take 442 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:16,400 hold of this. For if they fall, the one will 443 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:27,680 lift up his fellow. Oh God, if Brother Reese gets 444 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,440 down, I'm going to have to help pick him up. 445 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,640 Brother God still loves you. It's going to be all right. 446 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,920 He's going to thank you through the hard times. 447 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,400 He's never going to leave you. He's never going to forsake you. 448 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,800 He's able to do exceeding and abundantly. 449 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:52,400 Above all, we ask or think, Come on, we got to lift one another 450 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,000 up.

We got to get on the same page. 501 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,040 We've been on the same page for 59 years plus time. 502 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,920 We went together and was engaged and all that. 503 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,200 In fact, we kind of been on the same page ever since I was about 504 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,600 7 years old and then about 11 years old when I was playing 505 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,320 guitar on the platform at Kingsburg Pentecostal Church. 506 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:55,800 She began to smile at me and I said well that's see what you 507 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,000 don't knows. Sister Mcgee's mom and dad was 508 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:09,480 going there when she was born. This church, come on. 509 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,080 But we've been on the same page. When we come to church we need 510 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,640 to get on the same page. Sure. 511 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,200 The brother Reese we ought to have somebody at the door may 512 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,480 come in. So what page you on? 513 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,240 Well, I'm on page one. OK, good. 514 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,960 I'll write you down. Come on, come on. 515 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:35,960 We need to stay on first page through the singing, through the 516 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,520 worship. We don't come to page 2 until 517 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:45,800 the message starts and Oh yeah, I'm going to say it. 518 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,200 I'm going ahead. And what we need to understand 519 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,680 that in that first page, it needs to be built. 520 00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:00,040 There ought to be a crescendo by the time the pastor gets up that 521 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:05,320 he don't have to just get up and and shout his braids out. 522 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,600 He'd get up to say Hallelujah and the church goes wild. 523 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:21,720 If I remember those days, both Freddy, I will never forget 524 00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:23,160 this. I don't you was probably there 525 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,160 that night was first church. I will never forget it. 526 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,920 I'll tell you why, because I had never seen Brother Homer Madden 527 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,400 move. I was preaching one night. 528 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,040 The Lord was moving in that place and all at once Brother 529 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,040 Homer Madden got up and got out of his spook. 530 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,200 He said, huh. He he the only place we had to 531 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:49,400 walk is up around the pulpit and around and he he got the pulpit. 532 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,000 He said I just had to take a walk. 533 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,520 It shouldn't have been him alone. 534 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:55,440 Come on. I don't remember. 535 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:56,920 There was probably other people did. 536 00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,480 It happens. It happened. 537 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,440 It still ought to happen. When somebody's walking, 538 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,400 somebody's running. Come on. 539 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,200 Be the first stuff for your peer then. 540 00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:09,440 I'm going to not let him do it alone. 541 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:16,760 I've been up here too long already. 542 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,840 Thank you, Jesus.

When that happens, no matter 730 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,920 where I'm at, no matter where Sister McGee is, I we meet in 731 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:31,280 the middle. We pray earnestly. 732 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,840 God, take care of it. This is a brother. 733 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,840 This is a sister. It's part of the body. 734 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,400 Lord, if they're hurting, I'm hurting. 735 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,600 Lord, heal them right now. Bring deliverance right now. 736 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,880 Because why 2 are better than one. 737 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,520 Thank you, Jesus, the altar is open. 738 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,960 I don't want anybody to be fenced in tonight. 739 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,840 Go ahead, bring the Mace. You're my brother. 740 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:08,760 You're my sister.
