message tonight seduced by silence seduced by silence and then the lord gave me this simple subtitle and it's simply this that it's time to get serious with God that's right amen oh it's time to get serious with God turn with me The Book of Psalms chapter 50 the Mighty God you can if you would just stand for this one portion and then I'll let you be seated even Yahweh which when you see Lord that's the proper the name was removed hath spoken and called the Earth from the rising of the sun until the going down (00:54) of the same out of Zion the Perfection of beauty God has shined Our God shall come I wish somebody would say our God our God shall come shall come and shall not keep silence the Lord spoke to me today and he said a lot of people have been sedused by my silence a fire shall shall devour before him and it shall be very stormy round about him God's coming with a storm yes he is he shall call to the heavens from above and to the Earth that he may love on his people that he may W you in his arms and just doodle over you yes he is (02:01) coming to judge his people gather my Saints together see Satan hates togethering sister Ruthie was preaching on my message tonight do you know the verse that we often quote where two or three are gathered together listen to me that was not given to us to use as an excuse for a small Church well there's only two or three no what he was saying was I'm in the Gathering there is something about the Gathering that produces mysteries in God he works in the Gathering and Satan desires to stop the Gathering now we have a large following (02:57) on the internet but I tell them all the time you can't have an internet Pastor you can't have an internet preacher or an Internet Church that's right you must find the Gathering of the Believers why because when they begin to shout hallelujah in one Accord there's a mystery that begins to walk in the spirit and it shatters the king kingdom of darkness over Waveland Mississippi it does but if he put you in that corner me in that corner somebody else in the other Corner then we become a disjointed building that's right that's right I (03:44) heard somebody say brother V I am the church you're a liar the Bible said that you are one stone fitly joined together with all the other stones that makes up the church God said Gather my Saints I want them together that's right I want my Saints together right unto me those that have made a covenant now listen he's going to tell you what a saint is a saint is not somebody that says I'm saved it's somebody that's made a covenant with God right that's right now in the Old Testament they did it by sacrifice but we do it today by water (04:26) baptism he said Gather my Saints together that's coming to come Covenant through Mikvah or what a baptism in my name gather them together read verse 6 and the heavens shall declare his righteousness for God is Judge himself read praise God here oh my people and I will speak oh Israel if you're in this room tonight you're Israel he said oh Israel and I will testify against thee I am God even your God I'm not their god notice who he said to together around the Saints that's judgment begins where in the house of God he said Gather (05:21) them together and you tell them that when they come they must prepare for judgment that's to have been cont he said I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings to have been continually before me listen read I don't want any Bullocks out of your house listen what he said I don't want you to bring me no fake worship oh now feel my preaching he said I don't want you to bring me no shout and dancing that don't have a life behind it that's right I don't I want you to bring me your tithe that you didn't want to give that's I (06:04) don't want anything from you next verse for every beast of the forest is mine that's right you talking about you going to bring me something he said it's all mine and the cattle of a Thousand Hills read I know all the fouls of the mountains I know every one of them by name and the wild beast of the field are mine yeah if I was hungry I wouldn't tell you that's what your God said I don't need nothing from you that's right for the world is mine and the fullness thereof read will I eat the flesh are you going to I going eat your animals what do you (06:56) what do you want to try to impress me for with your buildings you want to build me a bigger Church you want to he said do you really believe that's what I'm looking for right oh if we could just build God a bigger church he said keep it I've got a big place called the earth I feel it all read the next verse but offer unto God Thanksgiving hallu I don't want nothing from you but a grateful heart that's right that's right oh thank you Lord and one more thing I want you to keep your promises to me that's right yes yes that's all I (07:38) want from you I just want you to keep your promise what promise brother Von you made it in the waters of baptism remember the Covenant God said if you will obey me I will be your God you will be my people keep your promise that's all I want you to do I just want you to keep your promise I want you to keep your promise tonight I want to preach to you seduced by silence God bless you you can be seated for just a moment I'm not going to keep you very long this evening but I have not preached in two months so I don't (08:15) know how that's going to work Hallelujah do you take god seriously and this is something now when I preach tonight I'm preaching to the cameras these messages go to Africa all over the world so if I say something I'm not picking on nobody here I'm preaching to the world tonight do you take god seriously now most Christians today do not take god seriously because they've been told that God is no longer serious um they have moved into a place in their walk with God where they want you to make them laugh I've had people (09:01) tell me brother v i don't come Hear You Preach because it's always gloom and doom I want somebody to motivate me I want somebody to make me feel better about myself I want to make you feel so bad about yourself that you'll die yeah that's oh do you know the job of the preacher is to teach you the difference between the clean and the unclean it is not it is not the man of God's job to make you feel good about yourself but rather to feel good about your God because the worse you feel about yourself the more you feel about your (09:48) god oh your righteousness is filthy as R but his righteousness oh is life Everlasting oh we've got to get serious about God I grew up in an age where the saints were serious that's right I'm telling you y'all may not remember those Services where we had what was called a holy hush do y'all remember those Services where all of a sudden the church would go dead quiet because that Holy hush would come into the room the saints were serious serious about God we're living in a church age where there is no more seriousness about the things of God we (10:42) are looking to be plated pacified lied to anything but to get serious about God listen we need men of God that'll roll up their sleeves one more time and get serious about the coming of the Lord and the things of God we need to get serious about God I want to read to you in verse 17 verse 14 of that or 17 of the same chapter he said I'm going to break my silence yeah I'm going to break my silence here's the reason we don't take god seriously because we have mistaken his silence as his approval on our sin and on our ways of doing things but (11:43) he said when I come I'm going to break my silence because the church has been seduced that's right by silence his silence is misinterpreted as approval we really think that we can dance and not pay the piper we really believe that we really believe we can sin in God's church we really believe that God we believe it's nobody's business how we live we really sister hope believe that we believe that God's love has negated God's law We Believe believe that Holiness is a word of a bygone eror honey Holiness is not a word Holiness is (12:38) the character of the god that we claim to serve it's time to get serious about God I wonder tonight how many people under the sound of my voice remember the days in your walk with God when you were serious about God when Church meant everything to you when prayer meant everything to you when the tithe came out of your purse before your light bill everything about God was serious to you right I remember the church I grew up in if a child came on the platform that whip is behind that's right why they were serious that's right we've lost the (13:22) seriousness of God that's right oh yes but God said I sent this pandemic up on the earth to give you the warning shot that's it yes you're fixing to get serious about God one way or the other that's right how many of you two months ago would have ever believed if I would have got up here and preached to you that there would come a day that we we couldn't have church because of a plague you would say no we've got the best medicine in the world the best doctors in the world we were proven in one day how serious things can get in one moment (14:00) that's right while you're playing with God God's Got A Plan that's bringing us to the end of the race it's time to get serious about God you make a mistake when you presume on God's patience in your life that's right you make a great mistake when you presume upon his patience in your life when you mistake see God is patient God is loving and God is kind and God is sometimes silent that's right but he said I'm going to break that silence why because you've mistook that silence as approval just like a child whenever you don't whip him after (14:48) so long when you let him by with it so long what will they begin to think you're over it that's right yeah I remember at church when I was a child and the back then if the Sunday school teacher if we got in trouble in Sunday school we got in trouble at home it's not like that anymore now the Sunday school teacher gets in trouble I'm telling you what I know but when I was a child if they March you out of that Sunday school class and embarrassed your mom and daddy in front of the whole church you knew it was coming when you (15:27) got home you already knew it it wasn't going to sister so and so getting in trouble it was going to be you that's right so all the way home you would fake like you were sleeping oh y'all never fell asleep like that after church in the car hoping and praying that by the mama and them had such a good time in the Holy Ghost they'd forgotten it see now let's say that they did forget it what did that just tell me they're over it whenever you think that God is over sin you make a grave mistake in your life that's the Church of the Living God (16:09) has been living in sin what is sin the transgression of the law of God the church has so long taught that God has no more requirements for people the church has so long taught that God makes no demands on you you fallen for that bunch of bull and now the church can don't get serious about a God that's not serious about Sin that's right that's right we've got a different God now it I said we've got a different God we've got Santa Claus and we call him God we've got a different god daddy we've got a God that has decided he's okay with (16:52) shacking up he's okay with homosexuality he's okay with running your brother and sister down he's okay with all of that now you listen to me just because he's been merciful just because he's had Grace just because he's been patient don't ever believe for one second that he's okay that's right it's time to get serious about God go back to that chapter brother Ken I want to keep reading Jesus thank you I want to show you now oh thank go back to Psalms 50 wherever we left off there's more there I want to dig in feel the Holy Ghost tonight God said (17:37) for me to tell the world it's time to get serious about God it's time to get serious about God it's time to hate sin again it's time to hate complacency oh it's time to get a passion in your soul about the church the house of God see this is the house this is where the church gathered that's right oh he loves these places where his people come Psalms 50 brother Kent wherever we left off and call upon me in the day of trouble but here's what he said here's what I love about the Lord he said I'm coming on a storm but if you'll just (18:17) call on me my God God if you'll just bow down if you'll just turn from your sin here's what he said I'll deliver you and then you'll give me the glory that's right next verse but unto the wicked God said now this was to the one that would call on him that was not the wicked but there's another group of people that's never going to get serious about God he said to them what has you to do you don't want nothing to do with my law oh oh you want something to do with my church but you don't want nothing to do with my law (18:57) my Commandments you don't want nothing to do with Holiness sanctification he said that makes you Wicked or that you should take my Covenant in your mouth you don't want nothing to do with the promises you don't want to promise me nothing I'm preaching to somebody you don't want to promise me nothing you want to take you want to be a in the store you want to be on the candy shell taking but you don't want to make any promises I'm preaching now you the god this church serves is a God that requires nothing that's right (19:40) he said you don't want to make no promises to me read sin that you hate virin my you like motivation wow you like smiling preachers you hate for somebody to plow your field you hate for somebody to rip you open and expose your Rebellion you hate that preacher you call him a legalist you call him a a bondage you you hate instruction that makes you Wicked but notice they're sitting in the church with the Saints and you cashed my word oh my God yes behind you behind you you'll take my (20:44) presence my healings my Miracles you'll you you you want it all but you don't want a promise you don't want to give one you don't want to make a covenant you wow that's it you want a one night stand with God on Sunday night it's time oh thank you to get serious about God it is hallu hallu I'm going to church tonight to get a word you can't handle a word not a real one because a real one word will cause you to open your heart and say God if I've run my brother down my sister down if there's anything I want to get (21:39) serious with you oh godall I heard the Lord say it's time to get serious with God don't be seduced by my silence read he listen he said when you saw a thief you saw a thief and you was just fine with him being a thief and then you saw somebody committing adultery in the church and you said we can't judge them the biggest lie you ever believe was judge not it's the biggest Li Satan's ever fed the church do you know the Bible does not tell you to judge not it says quite the opposite it says that we're going to judge angels that the (22:28) Saints are going to Jud judge the whole world how are we going to judge the world if we can't judge one another see that's kind of preaching that's instruction you don't want to hear that you want to believe don't judge me if I don't the Bible told me to know them that labor among the house of God and to know you I got to judge you how you going to know a false prophet if you don't judge him oh brother Von Jesus said don't go there cuz that's not what Jesus said Jesus said judge not unless unless you yourself are (23:09) ready to be judged by the same judgment that's right that's it right in the next few verses he tells them to judge every tree by the fruit it Bears the problem in the church you have believed that lie of Hell judge not let me tell you something the Bible tells you judgment begins right here what did Paul say he said why are y'all taking one another to court what he say shouldn't you be able to judge these matters among your well we can't judge Paul it's a mess children the church is a mess because they beli these lies the (23:53) sestry of Satan the cumulous lies of of Hell God is commanding you to judge yourself and to judge those in the house of God you got to judge this message tonight that's right yes you got to judge if I'm a false prophet but if Satan can convince you not to judge me see you'll believe everything I tell you Satan has messed it all up listen what he said you saw adultery in the church and you were fine with it yeah next verse thou givest your mouth to evil and your tongue is deceitful read you sit and talk about sister (24:45) hope you sit in church and you talk about sister Justina and you get by with it because you don't think you're supposed to be judged but when a real man of God Gets behind the pulpit you're judged already because the word of God that he's going to preach is going to judge you from the top of your head to the soulle of your foot because it's time to get serious about God that's right the Bible said come into the congregation and lift up what kind of hands holy hands that's right read no go back go back read that (25:28) last you sit and speak against your brother in the house of God you talk about one another he said let me tell you something I'm going to break my silence on it I've let it go but I'm I'm going to break my silence and your mother's son you run everybody down you know why you do it there's no fear left in the pull pit there's no fear you don't have a preacher you got a talker that's right Jesus God restore to the poor pit men who can preach men who can preach without fear they need backbones instead of spaghetti (26:05) spines somebody that can preach to me change my life and get me right with God read these things have you done and I what I kept silent I Let You by with it I let you believe that you was getting by with it I'll let you run your preacher down I'll let you run one another I'll let it go I'm going to teach you why just a moment you thought that I was like a human that I would forget that's what he said you thought that I was just like y'all he said you thought I was going to go to sleep but he that keepeth Israel (26:54) neither Slumbers nor sleeps he said you thought you could fake me out till you got home you thought oh the church thinks that because his presence is still filling the room with sin in the camp that God has I'm telling you I feel the Holy Ghost hallu it's time for the church to get serious about the things of God I'm telling you I miss the days when the altars were bottles of water right God now the only time they'll come to the altar is if you'll slay them out the spirit and give them another lie about some kind of blessing they going to (27:38) get you don't need a blessing you need a beaten in the altar where God takes you and kills you and makes you a Living Sacrifice that's right listen what he said but I will listen what he said I'm going to set things in order I hear the Lord said I'm going to set things in order in your life that's right now I'm preaching to somebody now cuz I know when I get a check in the Holy Ghost somebody's got some secret sin and God said to tell you I'm going to set things in order read now consider this you that forget God (28:31) that's what I going to do to you I'm going to tear you to pieces nobody's going to recognize you that's right that's right now this is the god that nobody wants to hear about I understand this is the Old Testament God you better drop that bunch of you've been deceived right and there won't be nobody to deliver you when I tear you to pieces my I'm going to tear I'm going to tear you to pieces why because you forgot that I was watching be careful little eyes what you see be careful little ears what you hear there's a father up above looking down (29:25) with tender love and he's letting you by with it but be careful he said but I'm coming to tear you to pieces turn with me to Matthew 7 verse 12 now I say that to you tonight but I want to say this do you know how you can stop the tearing do you know how hard it is to stop that the bend of a knee that's right the bend of a knee thank you that's right we stop it all amen faster than judgment comes God will take it back at the bend of a knee if God's people would humble themselves and call on heaven and look to Heaven (30:15) expecting as they pray God would take judgment off of America I said God would take judgment off of America but because the church is full of sin God not worried about the world but he's about to tear his church to pieces you ain't seen preachers in handcuffs enough you ain't see what God's about to expose the weakness of the church that's why it all starts here you don't see no doctors getting arrested for you know you see preachers because judgment begins in the house of God therefore all things what whatever you would that men should do to (31:00) you do you unto them for this is the law and the prophets quickly enter you in at the Straight Gate for wide is the gate and Broad is the way that leads to destruction and many go in that way because straight is the gate narrow is the way which leadth to life few there be that find it beware of false prophets which come to you with a beautiful message the one that everybody likes the one that has bestselling books the one that everybody wants to hear what he's got to say beware of him but inwardly they're ravenous wolves (31:47) you shall know them by their fruit read on the next verse even so every good tree bringeth forth fruit let's keep going I'm going to show you what fruit he's talking about let's go to the next one next one next one not everyone that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter in the Kingdom of Heaven but only he that obeyed the Covenant that kept his promises to me what did we start off with remember where we started I don't want your burnt offering I want you to keep your promise right he said those that do the will of (32:31) my father next verse many will say to me in that day Lord I'm Prophet so and so I was filled with the Holy Ghost I prophesied in your name you know this is the scariest verse in the Bible to me because that could be me on that day listen he said in your name we cast out Devils now wait a minute Jesus said you came cast The Devil out if you got devils in you right so these have got to be holy ghost filled people that's right oh yes they made a covenant in the water they made a promise in the water listen what he said in thy name (33:18) I've done wonderful works next verse and then I will profess unto them I never knew you depart from me you that break the law of God now before you think I added to the word Look up the meaning of the word iniquity lawlessness you that wanted my love but despise my law yes yes you yeah you proph you did all that but you Wen serious about God I'm preaching to somebody tonight it's time to get serious about God turn to First John 5 and verse 16 what happens to these fools that don't obey God 1 John 5:116 If any man see his (34:07) brother sin a sin now this is an interesting verse of scripture which is not unto death he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death but there is a sin unto death and listen to what God Said don't pray for that person now you know that's a strange scripture is it not God says that there's some people ain't no need of praying for them who are those people are you one of those people that God has put you off limits for prayer that's a folks if that don't make you get serious with God right here (34:53) that's right I don't know what will he said in my church there's a group of people don't pray for them because they're on the third stage of of they're on the third stage of divine discipline I'll pay y'all tomorrow they on the third stage of divine discipline third stage God has three stages of divine discipline I'm going to teach this to you and I'm done go to Hebrews chapter 12 verse 5 brother Kent look at the screen with me and you have forgotten the ex ation which speaketh unto you as children my son despise not thou the beatings of the (35:37) Lord nor faint when you are rebuked not by the devil but when you're rebuked by God I want to talk to somebody tonight that's drifting too far from God God has devised a plan to save you God has devised a plan not for the world but for those that came through the water for those that made a covenant with God this scripture only applies to my son everybody ain't the Son of God but you are Brother David this verse only applies to my sons see for those in the house of God I got a different way of dealing with y'all than (36:36) I do with your neighbors that's right he said don't make the mistake of [Music] despising the discipline of God and don't make the mistake of figing or giving up while he's beating you what's the difference in a fool and a wise son the fool despises it but the sun Embraces what God's doing in their lives the fool says I didn't sign up for this I signed up for salvation the fool says I came to get the blood not to get the beating you're a fool the wise son says here's my (37:43) cup fill it up Lord change me break me rearrange me take that tongue out of my mouth change me oh God don't despise that side of God but that's the very side we run from the greatest sign that your mother loved you was when you was being beat to a bloody pulp listen children oh God child molesters don't whip children parent God's not a child molester he don't care if you like him or not Daddy God don't care if if you like him or not he's got one job to prepare you for the coming kingdom of God through the power of the Holy (38:50) Ghost he is working in your life my son don't despise that if you can still he has called you to be chastised yes search 2 Timothy 2 25- 26 let's read it in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves if God will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth verse 26 that they may recover themselves this is stage [Music] one before God breaks his silence in your life he's going to let you try to recover yourself watch this watch stay with me now I'm going to preach to you when God when you begin to (39:48) backslide when you begin to drift and no longer take the things of God serious how do you know when you no longer take the things of God serious did missing Church last time bother you no you're not taking the things of God serious anymore did robbing the tithe not bother you anymore you got a problem daddy you got problems and they're adding up quicker and quicker you're no longer taking these things serious so here's what he said I want you to pray for people that are backsliding here's why that I might Grant to them (40:27) repentance that they might recover themselves out of the snare of not taking things serious anymore now what does this mean that I might give them repentance I want to say this as plain as I can do you know why God tells you to pray for all men do you know why you pray for your children that are lost you're not praying for them to get saved oh no no no because they can't get saved John 6:44 is plain no man can come to me unless I send out a call brother V I remember when I got saved no you don't you remember when he (41:12) saved you you didn't do nothing you didn't even want to get saved you didn't think about salvation Salvation failed you through the preaching of the word of God listen to me carefully now God gives you a space to repent and it's a supernatural act of Grace nothing you can do to earn that it's a gift that comes from God how many remember when he first gave you that space to repent I want to talk to you about repentance real quick sister Justina you're not praying for your son to be saved you are pray praying and (41:58) petitioning God to send him a call as many as the Lord Our God shall what as many as he shall call no man comes to God the Bible said no man seeks after God did you know the Bible say no man seeks after God God seeks after man and you know how he does it through the prayers of the Saints now listen I'm going to get somewhere in just a moment to help you out with this you've got to have a call to repentance come into your life and here's what he said he said that I'm going to give you an opportunity to hear the call to (42:50) repent that you can save yourself from me breaking my silence in your life I know you've gotten by with it how many in this room you ain't got to raise your hand how many in this room are very thankful that God never made you settle some debts you didn't get caught how many thankful you didn't get caught do you know the only difference in you and the man in jail in jail he got caught you didn't oh don't act religious on me now don't act like you something special now if you broke one mile over the speed limit you broke the law and if (43:33) that's the case you ought to be just as guilty as somebody they got caught doing it see that's right that's the only difference they got caught you didn't there's in your life brother sister how many things is God let you buy with and you know he did he didn't he didn't call him the debt why you found a place to repent that's right he said first I'm going to let you repent if that don't work let's go read Romans chap 2 and verse 4 God has three levels of dealing with you when you don't take him serious number (44:08) one he sends you a warning Romans 2 and4 do you despise The Riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering not knowing that the only reason he's been patient with you the only reason he suffered long with you is he's hoping that his goodness will do for you what he don't want to do for you thank the the times he let you by with it it was his hope that you would go to church the next week and the man of God would preach under such anointing that you would find a place to repent and save yourself he said but what happens is you (45:04) went to church and you felt my presence again you felt the Holy Ghost and you said well maybe God don't care that I'm living in sin I know somebody right now I know without a shadow of a doubt they shacked up preaching the gospel I know it shacked up right down shacked up I can take you to their house they sleeping together and they ain't sweeping they sleeping and they are preaching in churches Pentecostal churches all over this country I know it and can I tell you something else the spirit of the Lord is moving oh (45:45) yeah that's the part right that's the part that confuses everybody it's called the goodness of the Lord that's right thank you he's hoping that while they're doing that they would hear that warning shot that's right from heaven and say listen to the word of God and prent stop it don't make me wake break my silence my godes do it yourself recover your own soul don't make me do it service after service week after week God don't care if I don't pay my tith I'm still making good money that's called the goodness of God God don't care what I'm (46:39) doing no that goodness is trying to lead you to this altar right he's hoping that you'll love him so much for his goodness that you'll give it up the first sign that you're backsliding is when you quit taking god seriously when you start disregarding his Commandments when you become nonchalant when holy Things become common Galatians 5 and 4 Galatians 5 and 4 Christ has become no effect to you because why you are fallen from Grace many of you it was God's grace that gave you the call to repent but you're falling from it God's got a (47:37) plan for you God's got a plan for you Job chapter 5 verse 17 and we're coming to a close it's time to take God serious job 5 verse 17 and 18 thank you Lord in my own life I've experienced what I'm preaching to you tonight behold happy is the man whom God corrected therefore despise not thou the chastening of the almighty next verse for he maketh sore I love this verse he maketh sore but then he'll bind you up he WTH but then he comes right back around after he's wounded you and he finds you down in the alar thank you Lord after you've lost (48:38) everything you loved thank you after you've been to prison after you've had disease in your body after nobody recognizes you look like an old man he comes right back he did all that oh yes he did why to drive you right to where he drove you to it thank you Lord that your soul might be saved Jesus and after he gets through wounding you he pours in the oil and the wine God and heals every broken [Music] part hallu hallu God's not mad at you but remember what I'm telling you I feel remember what I'm telling you God has no grandchildren all right thank you (49:33) Jesus mama your children got correction from you but your grandchildren not so muchus God's not your grandfather he's your father amen he don't care if you're wearing the finest clothes he don't care he wants you whole to serve him and he is going to do whatever it takes to make you cry Mercy hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah when you get into an arm wrestling match with God somebody's going to cry mercy and it won't be him it's time to get serious with God that's right it's time to let that laxidasical Spirit you're backsliding you don't even (50:36) know it Hall you're backsliding my God you don't even know it you're trying to push away the punishment one or two things sister Ruth is going to happen to the backslider one or two things he's going to realize that this is God dealing with him and he's going to cry Mercy or he's going to get mad at God right at that moment oh God I need you to work with me now remember we talked about the sin unto death when God can't work with his sons he's done with them amen I'll tear you into pieces if you don't submit to the Potter that's (51:29) right that's right and let me form the clay amen Jesus God says when you see somebody that has rejected the chastening of the Lord that's right that's the sin under death next stage number one a warning shot what is that warning shot I want to read it to you David I'm closing I want to talk to you about these three stages what David said Psalms 38 I believe brother CH Ken I can't get to all these scriptures so we're going to skip over to Psalms 38 I'm trying to close I'm telling you God has been dealing with me it's time to get (52:13) serious Psalms 38 read that 1 through three with me now here's David he said oh God rebuke me not in your Wrath don't chasen me in your displeasure for your arrows stick fast in me and your hand is pressing me sore the first thing God does I don't have time to read the scriptures tonight he knocks that still small voice saying you got a problem baby something ain't right in your life you hear it you you hear it like the like the like the seat belt warning in your car that aggravates you to death right what do we all want to do with (53:15) that thing we just want to shut it up so we put the stupid seat belt on don't we why to shut it up we do the same thing with the knocking of the Holy Spirit amen because if you truly are his son he said behold I stand at the door and knock yes knock knock you're drifting you're taking this to LAX thank you Lord you're not serious anymore right amen knock knock you go to sleep and you feel that you try to kick that out of your mind Jesus Jesus you know you shouldn't have smiled at that girl like that or you know you shouldn't have cheated like (54:03) you you know but but the knocking of listen to me my God that knocking is the goodness of the Lord and he'll keep knocking Justina until you drift so far away that the knocking is in a distant and you can't hear it anymore then he goes to stage two David told you what it was he takes out his arrows God takes out his arrows the knocking didn't work he pulls back his Arrow the arrows are not meant to kill you they're meant to stop you thank you Jesus he takes that job away from you took you out of church he takes that bank account that (55:01) you was robbing him with he he takes this he you feel how many of you been walking through life and you you felt it when it hit you oh maybe it was that car wreck maybe it was that sickness something you felt that you said I know what this is about he hit you right there Jacob made him limp that was the AR of the Lord put that limp in Jacob's side the AR will make you limp back to the altar hopefully Daddy the arrows of the Lord will come to your kneecaps try to make you fall down he's not out to kill you he's been (55:50) letting you bow for years but he's got a plan for your life and it's a lot bigger than what you living up to and he's determined that you're going to be who he called you to be I said he's determined you're going to serve him he's determined that you're going to live for him amen right the wise son feels that arrow and he opens them back doors and drags that leg down to that alter and says One More Time Lord one more time here I am just as I am here he comes dragging that leg I need help Lord oh yes you may have done don't you (56:37) understand God don't care how many times you come dragging that leg he just wants you to come dragging it that's right he don't care how many times you messed up I promise you he don't care because as long as you drag in the leg he still believes you're going to be what he called you to be that's right but when he hit you with all the errors and you keep running mad at God don't believe in God yes you do you're a liar you believe in him you got to act like you don't to soothe your conscience you believe you're running (57:21) now you've turned your bitterness to God oh when that happens you enter into the third stage of divine discipline you enter into the third stage of divine discipline Psalms chap 7 verse 12 Psalms chapter 7 verse 12 when the preacher closes his Bible that's pretty safe that he's getting ready to close Psalms chap 7 verse 12 I want to show you what happens when God can't reach you if he turns not then I'll draw out my sword the first stage was what second stage was what (58:29) third stage he breaks his silence he comes cuz if he can't have you he ain't going to let the devil have you that's right he's fixing to destroy your life upside down down the other you won't recognize yourself when it's over he will tear you to pieces there was a man in the church and I'm not going to read it to you you know it's in there I believe 1 Corinthians 5 and 5 there was a man committing adultery in the church now if he would have been to our church we would have put him in the choir let him lead the [Laughter] (59:18) choir tell me I'm lying oh you can play a piano oh please play oh yeah we're in a different church now than God's Church we're in a different we're in a we're in a we're in an entertainment center now if he turns not I'm going to wet my sword he said go to that man that's committing adultery and talk to him what was that right that was God knocking using people be careful lest you entertain angels unaware God will send people to tell you what you don't want to hear in your life yes knock knock and he said now if he won't listen (1:00:08) to you go get a few brothers and youall go talk to him tell him he can't stay up in my house doing that tell him he can't preach he can't do nothing yes living an adultery that's right and if he refuses the ARA here's what I want you to do y'all already know some of you Paul said I want you to kick him out the church now that wouldn't go over in our churches today we believe in loving everybody right y'all can't handle truth I'm telling you it's a lot different than what they Preach Today that's right Paul knew as if you let sin in the (1:00:48) church The Sinner you're s in that Center to hell when you let them feel the presence of the Holy Ghost living in sin yeah that's right right uh-huh huhuh amen uhuh let somebody I've seen lesbians worshiping the Lord right with the Saints and we just think it's beautiful look at they feeling God they're being deceived and it's your fault cuz you won't dare mention lesbianism while they're in the service that's right oh I don't care if you like me or not you're sending them to hell cuz you don't know how to preach listen he said when you let (1:01:26) people sit in the house of God feeling the presence of God service after service they begin to think they're okay with God you're sending them to hell he said I want you to kick that man out of the church and I want you to turn him over to Satan which is my sword y'all know did y'all know your Bible said that okay I'm not making this up matter of fact put it on the screen for him 1 Corinthians 5 and 5 I believe now why would god brother Von that's mean to kick somebody out the church why would you ever want to do (1:02:07) that why wouldn't you want them to stay and let us love on them because that's not love right thank you you're an enabler you're an you're you want to talk about enabling drug addicts you're just as big of an enabler when you enable sin in the house of God somebody said well they won't be conf come and they're not supposed to be right this is the congregation of the righteous amen 1 Corinthians you got it five and five or 5 and 15 it's one of them now here why did God tell him that there's a reason not because he wants to kick the (1:02:43) man out of the church but he said delivering to Satan for the destruction of his flesh that the spirit might be saved God's not destroying you to hurt you he's destroying you to save you but amen and when you realize that then you will offer him the only sacrifice he wants Thanksgiving thank you Lord that you took away everything I had thank you right amen that's right thank you Lord thank you Lord that you took away my job thank you Lord that you took it all thank you Jesus that proves you're a son and not a fool (1:03:27) when you can thank the Lord for whenever you can say like job the lord giveth blessed let's stand tonight Hallelujah somebody shout blessed be the name of the Lord hallelujah it is time Hallelujah to get serious about God [Music] [Music]
