LIVE SABBATH SERVICE 8 5 22 Isaiah Chapter 9 - FUEL FOR THE FIRE mp4 360 Back home from Tampa, Florida, amen. Amen. Sister Courtney, would you come and get ready to sing tonight? Sister, amen. Sister Pat. And Brother Johnny was with him all the time and no COVID. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. That's the Melaleuca vitamins, the immune system. God bless you. Amen. Amen. I want to make a quick announcement. Sunday night during church, someone busted my windshield out of my vehicle outside and I don't know who it was. We have no idea, but somebody took their fist and hit it three times and it's, they tried to bust it. It's cracked from top to bottom. And so we're going to get a camera system for the church. Amen. But you brothers, when y'all go out to go to the restroom, just do a little perimeter walk every once in a while. Let people know we are looking outside. Just, we got a lot of enemies, amen. So I'm not sure who it was or what it was about, but the Lord knows. Amen. Sister Courtney Holmes presently is going to sing for us tonight. Amen. Praise the Lord. Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart feel lonely? And long for heaven and home when Yahweh is my portion. And His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches. He watches me. I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free. His eye is on the sparrow and I know, oh I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy. Yes, I sing because I am free. His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. Oh, I sing, come on, because I'm happy. Everybody say I sing because I'm free. His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. Give the Lord a handclap of praise in this house tonight. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, everybody. Tonight we're picking back up in the ninth chapter of the book of Isaiah, where we have been for some months now studying this great book. And tonight we're going to go verse by verse and study more. Remember when you're reading the book, I greet all of our online viewers on Fakebook and FHTV and Roku and Rumble. Good evening to all of you. Our Roku channel, I looked today and I was blown away with the new subscriptions and the new viewers that we have on Roku. For a while we would have about 2,000 that would watch it every day. And I looked this morning and we are getting about 7,000 views a day on Roku. Amen? So people watching the sermons all across the nation. And so I want to thank our Roku viewers and all of our viewers that are with us tonight. We love every single one of you. If you're watching and you don't know how to find us on Roku, just go search for First Harvest Ministries and download our channel. And then in the morning at 10 o'clock central, I'll be continuing part two of the Mazaroth, which is the gospel in the stars. If you missed it last week, you need to go watch it. It's on FHTV. Amen? Isaiah chapter 9 verse 1. A little monitor for me please, Brother Jonathan. Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as it was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterwards did more grievously afflict her, thank you, by the way of the sea beyond the Jordan in the Galilee of the nations. How many remember where we stopped at verse 1 through 3 last time? And we talked about how among the Gentile nations at the end of time there would be a great light that would shine. Does everybody forgetting that already? You've already forgotten that? Well, remember in verse number 2, the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. They that dwell in the land of death, upon them has a light shined. Hallelujah! How many seen that light? Amen! And here's what's happening. We're living in the time now of Isaiah's prophecy. Remember, Isaiah's prophecy was to the lost tribes of the house of Israel. He said that in the end time that the Gentiles would see a great light. I'm here to announce to you tonight that that light is shining more and more. Now before you're seated, there was a scripture that just came to my mind that I'd like to add to this reading. And I want us to look at it together because I need you to understand what's going on in this ministry. And I believe it's Ecclesiastes, Proverbs chapter 4, verse 18. Keep your hand on Isaiah 9. We're coming back. Let's run over to Proverbs chapter 4, verse 18. Proverbs 4 and 18. When you get there, say amen. Now the rest of you, when you get there, say amen. But the path of the just is like the shining light that shineth more and more until it gets to a perfect day. Do you know what a perfect day is? High noon. High noon is when the sun is in its strength. High noon is the perfect day. But when you wake up in the morning time, Sister Patricia, Pat, when you wake up early at 5 or 6, you've got a little light. But you don't have a perfect day yet. I need you to hear me now. I need you to wake up and listen. When the sun comes up in the morning, you've got enough light to get where you're going. But you don't have enough light to charge up the solar panels yet. That comes from a perfect day. Hallelujah. And the Bible said that when you begin walking on this path that you've been called to, that it's like the same thing. You start off with a little Baptist light. And then you get a little Methodist light. And then you get some Pentecostal light. Until you come to the perfect day. Every one of you have been called to walk in the perfect day. Another scripture. The Lord's just downloading them. Hang tight. Go with me to the book of Acts. Go with me to the book of Acts. Acts chapter 18, verse 26. Hang tight and I'll let you be seated when I'm able to sit down. I want to show y'all something tonight. I tell you what, let's start at verse 25. Acts 18, 25. Now let's go to verse 24. And there was a certain Jew named Apollos. He was born at Alexandria. Do you know what that means if you were born in Alexandria? You had access to the greatest knowledge library in the known world. This was one of the most learned men. He had been to Bible college because he was born at Alexandria, you see. And he was an eloquent man. What does that mean? He was like one of these great preachers that's been to Alexandria. They've been to Bible college. They know the Bible. And he was mighty in the scriptures. He knew the Bible. You ever heard somebody say, well they know the Bible from cover to cover. So did Apollos. So what's the three things? Number one, he went to Bible college. Number two, he was the best preacher you ever heard. Number three, he knew that Bible from kiver to kiver. He was walking in a measure of light. He had light. He knew John 3.16. He knew Acts 2.38. He had light. But let me show you what happened, shall I? Verse number 25. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord. Isn't that something? He loved our Lord. He was taught the measure of light that was given to him at that time. I'm going to teach you something if you'll listen. Notice what else it says. And being fervent in the spirit. Nobody prayed more than Apollos. Apollos was fervent in the spirit. He could work in the spirit. He had the Holy Ghost. And he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord. But the problem was he only knew the baptism of John. He had light. Somebody say, he had light. But he didn't have the perfect day. But the story is about to change. And so he got up to preach in the church. And verse 26 says when he got up to preach in the church. Well, my phone just went out for me. Read me the rest of it. Now he was preaching like Brother Vaughn, honey. Bold as a lion. He's preaching. Fervent. Anointed. Nobody denies he loves God and he prays. And he's got truth. But there was some folks that walked in to listen to him preach. Listen. But here came some people that was walking in the perfect day. They had the revelation of more truth than even this sincere preacher had. And listen, they came and they listened to him. They didn't mock him. They didn't walk out on him. They didn't act like they knew more than him. They didn't say, I'm not going to listen to that little bit of light when we've got all this light. No. They sit down. They honored the man of God. They honored the service. They listened. But tell me what happened when he got through preaching. They said, Brother Apollos, could we have a little word with you? Now he evidently was the pastor. I'm not sure. But he was up preaching. He was the man of the hour. And here come a little old lady by the name of Priscilla and her husband Aquila. And they said, would you mind just coming to our house for a little tea? Tell us what happened. Somebody say, more perfectly. It's not that he didn't have the way of Yahweh. The Bible said he had been instructed in the ways of God. But there was another group of people, the remnant, that had seen more light. And they wanted to show it to him more perfectly. Not that what you have is bad. Not that what you have is wrong. But it's not all that God wants to give to the end time church. Don't you? Somebody say, more perfectly. It doesn't mean what you got was wrong. It means it wasn't all of it. And that's the day we're living in, beloved. Now let's go back to Isaiah chapter 9. Remember the prophecy in the last day. Remember the prophecy that the Gentiles would see not just any kind of light, but a great light. Hallelujah. And it will multiply the nation of Israel and increase the joy. The joy before thee according to the joy in the harvest. And as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. This light is going to put so much rejoicing in you. That it's going to be like they rejoice when the harvest comes in. I want to tell you something. The reason this ministry can never fall by the attack of our enemy. There's too much joy in the camp. When you walk through them doors and you know what the hell we've been through. You know all the trouble we've had. And you see our people dancing and rejoicing. The enemy can never penetrate your joy. And darling we're not just dancing to move our feet. We're dancing because we've seen a great light of the millennial reign. Of the coming kingdom of God. It fills our heart with joy. We got too much joy to entertain your lies. Too much joy to entertain your distraction. The light has given us great joy. If you're in this church and you don't have joy. You may be in the wrong church. Because honey this message that I preach. Will give you joy in the midst of your trouble. This light will give you joy. Joy unspeakable. Full of glory. Hallelujah. Woo. God bless you. You may be seated tonight. And that's going to start our little lesson this evening. There's a great light shining. And Sister Denisha. The purpose of this great light. Is to bring you into perfection. Now that I have a garden. I have come to understand. How light works. You and I. We run from the sun. But not plants. Plants that sun may be burning you. But do you know that plants are basically solar panels. They pull in the energy. Of the sun. And what does that sun do? Let me tell you what the sun of truth does. Let me explain this to you. I bought some elephant ears a few weeks ago. From the nursery. And when I brought them home. They had already fallen over. They were limp and they looked horrible. Dark, dark elephant ears. They looked like they were dead. They looked like they could never return. But I walked out yesterday. And I looked at those plants. That have been basking in the sun. And all of a sudden. Their weak legs have been made strong. Because they exposed themselves to the sun. God is trying to bring a level of truth. To the end time church. That will strengthen our legs. In the battle against hell. You listen to me. And please hear me well. We are in a day. Let me ask you this. And I might as well. I'm live. I might as well. Just go ahead and do it anyway. Listen to me. One day. What if you cannot get to a deliverance service? How are you going to be delivered? What's going to happen one day. If you can't get somebody to lay hands on you. How are you going to be delivered? What's going to happen one day. When you're alone. And you can't find no big name preacher to deliver you. How are you going to strengthen those legs? You better get under the sunshine. Of modern day truth. Present day truth. You better walk in the sunlight of truth. It's the only thing that will strengthen your legs. But some reason we think that when truth comes. That somehow it's an attack on former truth. We get insulted. Because we thought we had the truth. Darling what you had was 9 o'clock. We're trying to get you to noon day. What you had was 10 o'clock truth. You had 11 o'clock truth. But we're at 12 o'clock truth. It's not against where you are. It's bringing you further. Oh yes. My good Baptist friends are at 6 o'clock. My Mormon friends are at 7 o'clock. My Pentecostal friends are 10 and 11. But there is a last day bride. That's leaving every level of truth. And following it all the way. Now one thing that this truth is going to do. When that sun starts beaming down on you. It starts baking you don't it. It starts baking out what shouldn't be in there. All your religion truth will bake it out. Truth will bake religion out of you. Do you know why? Because religion sister Katrina is a safety zone for all of us. Now I must tell you I grew up apostolic. Now there was nobody brother Morgan. That could do apostolic better than I could do apostolic. I was comfortable. I knew exactly when the preacher was about to hit the high note. And the organ was about to scream. And we were going to have to run. I knew how to do apostolic. Y'all can laugh if you want to. But I knew nobody was more comfortable with it than me. I knew exactly. Sister Peggy Richards taught me how to give an altar call. You tell everybody to close their eyes. And you ask does anybody want prayer. When they lift their hands up. Then you count to three and tell them. I knew how to do apostolic. I knew how to do what I had grown up knowing. But when this sun began to shine on me. That I wasn't doing enough. I got uncomfortable. I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know where to go. I didn't know what to do. I didn't even know my name anymore. What do you mean the Sabbath day? What do you mean the holy days? I don't know how to do that. It's uncomfortable for me. What do you mean Yahweh? I call him God. What do you mean he's got a name? What do you mean? And it began to bake out of me. My old self. Bake it out. Nobody could do it better than me. But God had to bake it out. And said when I get through with you. But the problem was he couldn't teach me nothing. So he had to send me away for three years. So he could get it out of me. And he said when you get out of here. I'm going to lead you into a revival. You're going to lead people into the full message. You're going to lead them across the nation. And the world into the full truth. The sun is shining. The sun is shining. The prophet Isaiah. The prophet Isaiah said. That in the end time. Those that were walking in darkness. Are going to see a great light. Beloved. He was talking about you. And sadly there are some of you sitting in this congregation. That do not understand that you're part of Bible prophecy. You are part of a remnant of people. And yes. I know that brother so and so said there was only 22 of us. But what he don't understand. 22 is the eagle number honey. I'll take it. I'll take it. Because God can do more with an eagle than he can a chicken. Make me a 22. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Now let's read it and see what else we can dig out of it. Now let me ask you a question before we go forward. Who is the light of the world? Besides politics. Who is the light of the world? All right. Somebody said Yahshua. But let's see what Yahshua said. Matthew 5 and 13. Matthew 5 and 13. You. Not me. You. Are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its taste. Wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing. But to be cast out. Verse 14. You. Are the light of the world. Not me. Not me. Jesus said. Not me. You. You. Are the light of the world. A city set on a hill. Cannot be hid. I'm preaching to you tonight a sermon entitled fuel for the fire. And I want you to listen to me carefully. Yahshua said you're the light. You're the light. But here's the problem. Can't nobody see it. Because it's hidden. What's it hidden under brother Vaughn? I'm going to show you in a minute. You are the light of the world. But you cannot be a hidden light. Verse 15. Neither do men light a candle. And put it under a bushel. But on a candlestick. And it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men. How do I do it brother Vaughn? Well just tell them you believe in Jesus. Ain't what the Bible said. Let your light shine. Somebody said brother Vaughn. I only want to please God. I'm not worried about men. That's not what Yahshua said. You ain't got to convince Yahweh that you're the light. He don't need you to be the light to him. He said you are the light of men. And here's what he said. Let them see your light. How? By saying I believe Christ is my savior. No. What did he say? How do you let people see your light? Read it. Through your what? Now the church I came out of said that works was no longer involved. Somebody say a more perfect way. I'm teaching you now works is your light. And if you don't have works which are the commandments of God. If you don't keep them. You are a light hidden under a bushel. The light. What is the light? Thy word is a lamp under my feet. And a. Actually it should say thy Torah. Thy commandments is a light. And when I received the Holy Ghost. The light moved in. But if I don't work out my salvation. Then that light is hidden in a bushel. It's hidden in a mess. If I have any other gods before me. I'm not letting that light out. If I take his name in vain. I'm not shining forth the light. If I'm not in the house of Yahweh. On the Sabbath day. I am not showing forth the light. Which is the commandments of God. When your friends invite you to dinner on Friday night. And you say I'd love to go. But it's Yahweh's Holy Sabbath. A little light just spilled out. A little light in a dark world just spilled out. When you sit down to eat. And they offer you their unclean food. And you say I'd love to. But I better not. A little light just slipped out. While they put up their Christmas trees. But you put up your sukkah. A little light just slipped out. While they're lying cussing and fussing. And you won't say a curse word out of your mouth. A little light has just slipped out. You are the light. But the light is hidden. Read that verse. Joshua said let your light be seen. How? What did you say? Yeah. But how did he say to do it? With thy good works. What you always taught that works. No works. Absolutely. Because their works is not the works of the word. It's the works of the church. Now in that regard they're correct. We don't do the works of a man made system. Because this is the works he's talking about. Thy word is light. And he said you have the light. But nobody can see it. You go into the same Mardi Gras parades. They go too. Mm-hmm. Who do you think Bacchus is? Who do you think Rex is? Who do you think Endymion is? Pagan gods. You're throwing your hands up to them. Give me something, sir. Worshipping demons. So therefore the world don't see the light. Because your light looks like their light. Your light, look, you eat what they eat. You dance to the music they dance to. You go to the clubs they go to. You're just like them. There's no light. You dress like them. You got your stuff hanging out like they do. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Modesty is light. Modesty is light. In a dark world. Daddy, you ought to put a belt on that girl's butt and send her back and make her put more clothes on. Modesty is a light. It wouldn't do for me to have a daughter. She'd have a padlock on her door. Why? We need light. And the problem is you've got it but nobody sees it. They hear you running everybody down like they do. I want to tell you something that's sad. I have two telegram groups. One is political. And one is for our followers that study the scriptures with us. I have more drama in the scripture group than I have in the political group. But they train in foraining. When you're just like the world you are a bushel with no light in it. When you start skipping church you're just like them. Light is truth. And according to the word of God He said in Matthew 5 and I believe we're at verse number 16 Let your light shine Well God knows my heart but man doesn't. Well he don't care how I dress he knows my heart, I know but man doesn't. So how's the only way they know your heart is through your good works. We're not trying to bring God to salvation we're trying to bring men to salvation. It don't matter what God knows about you what do men know about you? How's your business dealings in town? What creditors do you owe in town? Why you talking about you the light of the world? Pay your bills. Oh yeah. You always know when you hit something when it goes quiet. We don't owe men. If we can't pay them we gonna face them. That's good baby. Yeah look at that. Well there you go son. Well that's a good thing. That's the light shining. Hallelujah. Their light shines. All right. Yeah go make it a book. Go back there and make me a book of them. Go make a book. Okay I'll do it later. All right. Let your light so shine before men that it drives the evil right out of them. Amen. Let's read the next verse. Thank you son. Now listen to what it says. And it giveth, verse 15 Neither do men light a candle. Let them see your good works. Verse 16 And glorify your Father which is in heaven. Now. Brother Von I wanna give God the glory tonight. There's only one way to do it. Good works. Can I show y'all something? That's not glorifying God. That's helping you, giving you a little fix. That's good. Get you a little fix. That ain't glorifying God. He said when you show men my commandments through you you have glorified your Father in heaven. Hallelujah. Let's keep reading. Now in case you thought I was making that up about what the light is. Let's see what Yahshua says. Verse number 17 Uh huh. Think not that I've come to destroy the law. I didn't come to destroy the light. The law is the light. I'm telling you that if you want your light to shine it's the law of God. He tells you what the light is. Let's read the next verse. For verily I say unto you till heaven and earth pass away not one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from the law till all be fulfilled. Now when will it all be fulfilled? On the seventh day. Verse 18, 19. Whosoever shall break the commandments Now this is a real problem folks. Because according to every church I ever sit in there were no more law. It was nailed to the cross. Jesus did away with the law. We're free from the law. Well then he's talking out of both sides of his mouth. Because he said right here whoever breaks the commandments and whatever preacher gets up and teaches men that it's okay to break my commandments will be the least in the kingdom of God. But I say unto you that the same that teaches men to obey these commandments the same will be called greater in the kingdom of God. I've always told you we're not going to be equal in the kingdom of God. I've always said we're not going to be equal. If you taught men to break the commandments you will be in the kingdom but you will be the least 30 fold. You will be 30. Amen. Amen. Now what is the light? Something that comes out of you. What good is a light hidden under a bushel in a life of sin in a life of rebellion in a life of hypocrisy. Let me tell you all something. We got commandment keepers in this church. You're here on the Sabbath but I want to tell all of you something. There's some folks in this church that don't love nobody. There's some folks in this church you are anti-social you are anti connected to this body you have no love for the ministry you have no love for these people. Honey you need to quit keeping the Sabbath. You need to quit even keeping the Sabbath because you wasted your time because the greatest of all of these commandments is that you love one another. I don't know where my church is tonight. I come to tell you something. When you don't like people you don't love God. He didn't say let your light shine before me because I love people. God said those are my creation and if your commandments have made you too holy to get involved with people you've got what's called a fool's gold. It's not real. You can never keep the commandments enough to override just loving folk. Loving your enemies. If you're involved in this ministry if you don't get a hold of some of these tongues around here that's suspicious of one another judging one another running one another down let me tell you what you need to do next Sabbath. You need to forget about it. It's going to do you no good. Until these people in this church is your brothers and your sisters closer than your own flesh and blood these commandments have done you no good. You become Pharisees, Sadducees. When you are more occupied by looking on somebody's plate at what they're eating than you are looking to make sure they're okay and don't need anything you've become a Pharisee. I'm going to say it all over again. If you hadn't called and worried about if they needed any help this week but you're worried about what's on their plate you have become a Pharisee. You have become a Sadducee. Learn to love one another. You don't worry if they're eating something that might have pork somewhere way down the food chain that nobody knows about. Make sure they don't need a helping hand. Make sure they don't need a phone call. Make sure they don't need a hug. Make sure they don't need to know that you care and you love them. Now am I taking away from the commandments? No darling, I'm telling you what the commandments do. They create a light in you. They create a light in you. Sister Denisha moved here two weeks ago. She has had nothing but trouble since she moved here. Now I don't know and I'm not going to ask and I'm not going to embarrass but everything in her camper has gone wrong and I want to know if one of our men don't tell me now has been there to see if she was okay. If not, don't keep another Sabbath day. Your light is when you're worn out from working and you're tired and you just want to go home but then the Holy Spirit lays somebody on your heart and you say let me go make sure they don't need something. Are you okay? God wants your light to shine My greatest fear in my calling is teaching these commandments to someone that doesn't have the fruits of the Spirit or the Holy Spirit because then those commandments become your death rather than your life. I hope you hear what I'm trying to tell you tonight. Love one another. When they get on your nerves, get over it. You don't think y'all don't get on my nerves? You don't think I see some of your inbox messages and go oh my God. But you know what? I love you. You are my family. You can get on my nerves and I can get on yours but because of the Holy Ghost we are connected by the light of the Word of God. We are a family. We are one. We are not divided. We are not separated. It's not you and your world. Me and my world. We are one world. You watch out for people that don't want to get involved with the church. There's something wrong with them. When they don't show up for anything the church is doing, the work is doing, watch them. There's a reason. They don't want to get found out because once you start getting around one another, I start seeing your ugly and you start seeing mine and we still love each other after that, that's when we're becoming the church of God. That's when we're moving into the light, the light of God. Hallelujah. There's not one of you in this room. There's nobody here that don't need somebody. You're not an island. You're the body of Christ connected together. At first commandment, thou shalt have no other gods before me. The first thing he's talking about is yourself. You can be your own God where your feelings is all that matters. I really need you to listen now. I have no other gods besides Yahweh. Maybe your feelings is your God. Somebody hurt your feelings so you ain't coming back. That's because you've got another God besides Yahweh. It's your feelings. Let me go rub on him too so you'll feel like. They hurt my feelings and they gonna do it again. And they gonna do it again. Brother Vaughn didn't speak to me and I'm probably not going to next time either. Get over your feelings. Be the light of love that all I'm here to do is serve. All I'm here to do is be the light of Yahweh in a dark, dark, dark world. Hallelujah. Let's move along quickly. I want to say this as we go back to Isaiah 9. Isaiah chapter 9. Get involved with your church. We have a watchman's meeting here every week. Where are you at? Man, woman that's been bound, some kind of addiction. Support the work. Support the work. If you live local, daddy teaches a Bible study here every Wednesday night. Support the work. Support the work that's happening here. Be the light of God. Prayer. Become part of the work. Don't just drift in when it's your time to sing or your time to shine. Come on in and be part of what God is doing. Now notice what this light is going to do. Now, this is going to bring you to my subject. This light is going to break the yoke of the burden and the staff off of your shoulder and the rod of your oppressor. He's talking about demons. He said if you'll get under this sunlight, it will deliver you from demon powers. This sunlight will deliver you from the burden on your shoulders. True deliverance. Oh God. I'm telling you this new form of deliverance is a cop out. You can't go by and get a wham. It ain't a stop, drop and roll. It's an everyday in the sunlight of truth delivering you from who you were to who God wants you to be. He said in the last day this sunlight's going to set you free. And I believe every word of it. That's the purpose of the great light. Somebody say that's the purpose of this great light is to set you free from every bondage whether it's religious, demonic, whatever it is. There's going to be a light shining on you. It's going to shine in the end times and that truth, that perfect truth every day I watched my plants get delivered from death under the sun. I watched them every day little by little they started to rise. They were, you know how limped over those black ones were by my pond. That's limped over, dying. And every day I would see their stalks getting straighter and straighter because they were receiving from the light. If you'll sit under this ministry, if you'll sit under this message for more than a day, if you'll listen to it for more than a year, I'll look at you one day and you won't be leaning over. You won't be bound down. You won't be who you were. You will rise to the sunlight of truth. You will rise to the light of truth in this our day. The light is shining right now. That light is shining right now. More and more and more unto the perfect day. Hallelujah. Come here Matthew. Come here brother. I want you to hold this. Now watch this. We're going to say that this represents your bondage or your sin or your demons or your strongholds. Watch this. So I come and I deliver you from it. Okay. You've not been delivered. You've been set free momentarily. Deliverance is when it gets delivered to the next destination. Listen to me now. Until you've been delivered to the truth you've only been set free. You've not been delivered. Until you're walking in the light of the truth you're not delivered. You're set free for a moment. The woman that had the adulterous spirit she had the spirit of adultery. Yahshua did not cash that devil out. He said I want you to go and keep them commandments. Don't ever do it again and you'll never commit adultery if you'll do that. Go and sin no more. He didn't spit on her. He said if you walk free go and sin no more and you'll be set free. But not only will you be set free ma'am you will have been delivered to the light. You were in the darkness and when you got set free all your little demon powers are marching around. They own their phones calling their cousins seven times worse. Oh they just left you. But darling you're in their earth. They ain't going nowhere. Don't you understand? They have a right to this earth. You're in their land. Don't you get it? So unless unless we don't need to get demons out of you we just need to get you away from the demons and the way we do that we deliver you to the light. We deliver you to the commandments. We deliver you to truth. We deliver you to obedience. We deliver you to the light. I don't know of one deliverance ministry that's getting people out of a chair and putting them in the light of truth. This light is the only deliverance you'll ever have. Let me show you what Yahshua did. What commandment is it? What commandment is it? Number seven. Go and obey these and I'll never see you again. Just go and sin no more. Get delivered to obedience from rebellion and then you'll be delivered. Okay? But you gotta make up in your mind that you're ready to be delivered. That you're ready to walk in obedience. That's nothing my hand can do for you. That's nothing I can do for you. Brother Vaughn, the Bible said that Jesus cast out devils. Well, he also walked on water. Why you ain't trying to do that? Mark 16 and 18, Brother Vaughn. These signs shall follow them that believe. In my name they'll cast out devils. See, Pastor, but you missed the next part, didn't you? They'll take up serpents. Why don't you go grab one of them while you're at it? The next one, you can drink any deadly thing. It won't hurt you. Get you some strychnine while you're casting out devils. You know why? Because that first part of that verse means exactly what the second part means. It didn't say go look for snakes. It said if a snake finds you, it won't hurt you. It didn't say go out and look for him behind every low-down bush. Deliverance is walking in freedom. Not being set free, but walking in freedom. Freedom from sin is deliverance. But do you know what I just said? Everybody would say amen to freedom from sin is deliverance and none of them can tell you what sin is. I challenge you. Call any preacher you know and ask him what is sin. They don't know that. They don't know that. Go call and ask anybody. What is sin, brother? Well, you know, it's just not obeying God. Well, what am I supposed to obey? Well, well, he did away with the law, so we ain't gotta obey that, but you just need to obey him. Well, okay. Well, now, you know, he said to love people, but how do I love them? Well, I'm gonna tell you, smoking them cigarettes, that's what sin is. Show it to me in the Word. That ain't what sin is. I don't believe in smoking cigarettes. I don't want one in my mouth, but that ain't what sin is. No, no. Sin is violating the Torah of God. He wrote it in the book, and he said if you violate the law of God that Jesus supposedly nailed to the cross, you've committed sin. So to be free from sin is to be free from breaking the commandment, including the Sabbath day. I had demons in my life at one time, but I wanna tell y'all something. Nobody ever laid hands on me. I was in a prison cell when I got on my knees and cried out for mercy, and I promised God when I leave here, I'll obey your law the best I can. I'll walk in those commandments and, honey, I've been free for 14 years because I found the commandments. I found the light. I found the light. I found the law. I found the truth and walked in it. Let me tell you what happens to people. Sister Denise, if you come up here tonight and we set you free from a demon and we send you home without truth, we have committed murder. How do we do that? Because what's coming after you when we get done is 10 times worse than what you had. We have done you more damage than we have good. Brother Vaughn, do you not believe in casting out devils all day long? All day long. We've done it. All day long. But I'm not fixing to have a circus for devils. All right? If you want to be free, we'll get you free. And then you sit on that pew and get more free every day and more free and more free and more free. It's not a one-time trip. It is a lifetime commandment. And then you send them home. They've been set free and as soon as they get home, here comes, here comes that spirit. And all of a sudden, what do they believe now? Well, there must not be nothing to it. Ain't nothing to none of that. And now they become 10 times worse. Listen, if you're here tonight and you want deliverance, we'll lay hands on you. But I'm going to tell you what we're going to do after that. We're going to preach so much to you, you're going to hate us for a little while. We're going to make you so mad, you're not going to like us for a while. But if you'll hang tight, if you'll be accountable to this church, if you'll be accountable to one another, God will totally deliver you. Now this light in the end time, according to verse number 4, was to break the yoke and the burden. As in the day of Midian. Now let me preach just a minute about Midian. Oh, what is it? Why did Isaiah refer to Midian right there? He said the yoke is going to fall off of you as it did in the days of Midian. Let me break it down for you. The battle of Midian was what? Where Gideon, Gideon was at Midian. How many remembers Gideon? They broke the power of the Midianites. And according to Isaiah, this end time remnant that the light shines on, they are going to set people free and be set free in the same way that the battle of Midian was won. Now we just need to find out how the battle of Midian was won. Oh, it's so simple. You can read about it in Judges 7, 19 and 20. I'm not going to read it. I'll just tell you what it says. It says that Gideon went down to the battle and God told Gideon to take some firebrands, a little light, and put it in clay jars. Now Isaiah said, our deliverance is going to come the way the Midian deliverance came. God said, Gideon, I'm going to give you an earnest of your inheritance. I'm going to give you a little firebrand, not a lot. You don't need a whole lot. I'm going to give you a little light, and you're going to take clay jars and you're going to drop that little light inside of them human beings represented by clay jars. I need you to listen to me now. And then he said, after you put the light in the clay jars, I want you to blow a shofar. And when you blow the shofar, I want you to take them clay jars and I want you to drop them until the flesh breaks and what's going to come out, it's going to be a bonfire of light. It's going to be a revival of the light. I want to deliver my people by that little bit of light shining forth out of their flesh. He placed a firebrand inside of every one of you. But what did Jesus say? What good is a light hidden in a clay jar? What happened was when they dropped those clay jars, brother, the enemy thought it was a great big fire. And the Bible said the enemies turned on themselves and began to kill one another. All Gideon had was 300 men that had a little bit of Holy Ghost in them. And they finally destroyed their flesh. They finally broke their self, broke their rebellion. And what came out of them was delivering power for every demon. Every enemy was delivered because of what was inside of them. Do you want to make your demons kill themselves? Here's how you do it. You've already got the light. But when you break Thomas open, when you crack him, when you take that rebellious clay jar that that light is hidden in and you break it, there's enough power inside that little bit of light to cause your demons to kill themselves. You've got to walk in the light of truth. God told Isaiah, in the last day, I'm going to put a fire brand in my people. But here's what's going to happen. There's going to be a sound of truth. That's the shaffar. There's going to be an entire message. That's the shaffar. And it's going to break open the clay jar and light. The law is going to come forth. The day is upon us now when the darkness can only be overcome by an army of people that have broken their clay. Clay is hard. You was telling me, Brother Morgan, the firmest foundation we could have built that shed on was clay. Why? Clay's hard. It's got a hard head, hard mind, hard feelings towards people. Hard! But God, Yahweh, is raising up a people, according to Isaiah, that that little fire brand of truth, we're going to hear the shaffar, which is the message, and our clay's going to break. That clay sister, Debbie, that always said, I do it my way instead of Yah's way. Can I show you what a clay jar looks like? You're not going to like it. Those watching's going to turn me off. Some of you may get looked away at, but there ain't no way out. The doors are all closed. And everybody will know you're mad if you leave, so you can't leave. Listen, I'm playing. I want to show you what a clay jar looks like. When you walk in this service, and the Word of God says that you cannot worship Him without dancing. But you say, that's not how I do it. That's a clay jar. Or, when you get paid, and Yah's way said to give 10%, not nine or 11 or 12. But you decide you're just going to give what's from your heart, and you just, that's a clay jar. When the Sabbath day rolls around, and all of a sudden, you felt good all day, every day of the week, but something just, you got a little something going on in your foot. Can't make it. Can't make it this week. He didn't ask you if you could make it. He said, on the seventh day of the week, have a holy convocation. A clay jar. A clay jar, Brother Michael, is a man that does it his way. But if God will ever get you to break, every demon in your life will kill their self because of the light of God's law. I want to read to you one more verse. I love this next verse. God, do I love this next verse. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise and garments rolled in blood, but this shall be with burning and fuel for the fire. You know what He just said? Here's what He just said. Everything that's been fighting against you, the warriors, those demons, those addictions, every warrior from hell that has been out to destroy you, every one of them, He said, the moment your clay breaks, even those demons will just cause your fire to burn brighter. They will be fuel for your fire. Your tester will become your testimony. Your demon will become your deliverance. Your righteousness will become your victory. You will burn brighter than you've ever burned. They're just fuel for the fire. They're just fuel for the fire. Your alcohol is fuel for your fire. Your addiction is fuel for your fire. Burn, baby, burn. I'm broken. You're just fuel in my fire of victory. When the demons come back to a jar that's broken, they'll run straight into a fire. When they come to a man that's broken, they'll run straight into a Holy Ghost fire. They will be fuel for your fire. Your vices will become your victory. And when they come back to tempt you, you will have a fire burning so strong that there'll be one more devil you throw in the fire. Why? Because it's just fuel for the fire. Every time you overcome another devil because you're broken, they can't get you to become clay again. That's why Yahweh said, I'll take out of you that old stony heart, that clay heart, that rebellious heart, and I'm gonna make you instead of a clay pot, you're gonna be a broken pot. But that brokenness is gonna release the fire and everything you've ever battled again, it's gonna be fuel for that fire. Every time you bind what bounds you, your testimony gets brighter. Bonfires from hell. When hell comes against you, throw it in that fire and let it be fuel, fuel for a greater testimony, fuel for a greater victory. Hey! When that gossip and devil comes, if it comes to a clay pot, you know what you'll do? You'll bring it on in. But if you're broken, let me tell you how gossip comes. I'm a little worried about something. No, you're not. You ain't worried about nothing. You need to cover up your gossip with a concern. Oh, I'm a little concerned. Nobody called you to be concerned. You ain't got nothing to be concerned about. It ain't your ministry. If the God you serve can't handle His own ministry, then you need another God. Okay? But that spirit of gossip, when it comes to a clay pot, you'll bring that into your clay pot and put the lid on it, and all of a sudden, that clay pot is your death pot because that little fire brand you had in there, it smothers it out. Do you understand me? I want to give every one of you a challenge right now. From the back window to the side over here to the front. The next time somebody has a concern about Brother Vaughn, would you give him my phone number? Would you say, are you concerned? Here, 903, never mind, I'm live. Here. And you watch what I'm telling you. You watch how quick they're not as concerned as they was. Exactly. So, when somebody's concerned, say, well, I am too, darling, let's go see him right now. Let's go see Pastor right now. And watch when they say, well, no, we better just pray about it. You ain't trying to pray about nothing. You're full of devils and you're looking for devils to join in with you. Well, I'm worried about the money. Then don't give none. If you want to know where it's going, it was given to the man of God. It's not yours anymore. If you give me a gift with strings attached, you know better than a prostitute, darling. If you don't trust us, don't give it to us. But if you do, shut your mouth and let God worry about God's business. And the funny thing is, the ones that's worried about it is the one that gives $5 every three months. No, I'm serious now. The ones that's most worried about it ain't gave nothing. And what little they give, tell everybody I'll refund them. Right now, if you're watching live, I'll refund anybody that wants a refund. I don't need a dime from nobody. From nobody. God's work pays for itself with or without you. But if you want to be blessed, you might want to get involved with what God has blessed. Hallelujah. Why is God breaking clay jars? Why is God breaking clay jars? I'm fixing to show you. Because the fuel, the fleshly boots of these demon powers are going into that fire. But let me show you now in these last two verses, why God's got to break the clay. I thought it was the last two verses. Never mind. Let's read. For unto us a child is born. Why is God getting a people ready? For unto us a child is born. A son is given and the government. It's all about the government. I got to break these clay jars and kill these media night demons in my people so that I can raise up a government that's going to rule and reign with this son, with the son is given. Amen. That whole chapter is talking about being delivered from demon powers, media nights. He's talking about the light of truth coming in your life. But why? Because a son's going to be born. A child's going to be given. But, I'm not getting y'all ready for his birth. I'm getting y'all ready for the government to be on his shoulders. That's you, those that have been set free from these media night demons. And his name, now I want you to notice right here, it doesn't say he, it says his name. What is his name? Yahshua. When you take the name Yahshua and break it down, Yah is the mighty God, the eternal Father, Yah, Shua means salvation. So the eternal Father is my salvation. Here's what he says about this son. His name will be called wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, prince of peace. And now we get to verse seven where one more time, of the increase of his government, not of him. I gotta get them pots broken. I gotta get that little fire brand, that touch of the Holy Ghost that you received, I gotta get it out of you. I gotta get good works out of you. I gotta get the light shining because there's going to be no end to the increasing of his government. What does that tell me? Those galaxies out there that that new telescope is showing us? It's for a reason. Because the government's gonna keep increasing. Worlds without end, the Bible says. And there shall be no end upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to order it. Not, not, listen, not Yahshua. It doesn't say Yahshua is sitting on the throne of David. It doesn't say Yahshua. It says the increase of his government. Do you know who that is? It's you. It's those broken pots. It's those broken clay pots that started off with a little fire, but they broke themselves to where the law of God was so prevalent in their lives that it turned into the bonfires of hell. To establish it with judgment and justice even forever. The zeal of Yahweh will perform this. What God is doing in you tonight is the zeal of Yahweh. You know what that means, the zeal of Yahweh? It's gonna get done. He's going to have a government. He started on you tonight. He's going to have a government quickly. Revelations 5 and 10. Let me show you why you must allow this clay pot to be broken. Revelation 5 and 10. And you have made us unto our God kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth. Why? Why? Because we saw a great light. If the musicians would come. We saw a great light. And we allowed ourselves to be broken. Listen to me tonight. I want everyone to hear me before we go home. You are not in a church building. You're in a plan. You are not... I've got to say what I'm fixing to say and I'm just going to say it. You can never just come to this church. We're not that kind of church. This ain't a church where you just say, I think I'll just go. We're not those people. If you're not all in, this ain't the place for you. I'm going to say it again. If you're not 100% in this ministry, they got churches all down the street. We're trying to create a government here. We're trying to break some clay pots. We're trying to teach you how to let the light of God shine. So I'm going to say what I'm fixing to say and I want every... For some reason people don't hear me when I talk. If you're not in 100%, it'd be a good time for this to be your final service. I'm not going to sit on this corner and play church. God didn't call me to get in your drama and involve with your feelings. You're either in or you're out. I've got to build an army for the Lord and there's no room in this army for your feelings. There's no room in this army for your feelings. We've got work to do. We've got a kingdom that's coming and we've got to prepare for this kingdom. Let's stand tonight. Turn to your neighbor. Turn to your neighbor and tell them we're not that church. We are the government. How many wants to be a broken pot? How many wants to be a broken pot? Turn the light on my soul. And if you find anything that should not be, take it out and straighten me. I want to be right. I want to be safe. I want to be whole. Oh, search me Lord. Search me Lord. Oh, search me Lord. Oh, search me Lord. Turn the light from heaven on my soul. And if you find anything that should not be, take it out and straighten me. I want to be right. I want to be safe. I want to be whole. Let's all sing that to the Lord tonight. Search me. Search me Lord. Search me. Search me Lord. Please search me Lord. Search me. Search me Lord. Oh, turn the light from heaven on my soul. And if you find anything that should not be, take it out and straighten me. I want to be right. I want to be safe. I want to be whole. Lord, you know what I want. And you know where I belong. You know all that I do. And you know where I belong. You know all of my thoughts. My heart for you will be. So Lord, search me. Search me. Search me. Through and through. Oh, search me Lord. Please search me Lord. Oh, search me Lord. Please search me Lord. Why don't you just turn the light from heaven on my soul. And if you find anything that should not be, take it out and straighten me. I want to be safe. I want to be whole. Lord, please search me Lord. Please search me Lord. Why don't you just turn the light from heaven on my soul. And if you find anything that should not be, take it out and straighten me. I want to be right. I want to be safe. I want to be whole. Hallelujah. Search for the night time. Search and ride tonight. Search and ride tonight. I'll tell you what I want to do. I want everybody here to. I'm going to say something now. I've been, oh God. I'm really going to make some folks mad now. Listen to me. I want everybody. We don't need nobody on cameras right now. I don't even want nobody in the sound booth. I want all the church. When I call the church up, I want everybody to come. We have got to come into unity. I don't listen. I want everybody. Come on soon. Everybody is the church.

Summary

Pastor Shane Vaughn teaches Isaiah 9 as a prophecy of a great light shining upon the end-time remnant. He identifies that light with progressively restored truth, Yahweh’s Torah, good works, love, holiness, and obedience. The message teaches that lasting deliverance comes by walking in the light rather than through a momentary spiritual experience, and it uses Gideon’s broken clay vessels to illustrate the breaking of human rebellion so the fire within can shine. The ultimate purpose of this transformation is to prepare a people to serve as kings and priests in the government of Yahweh.
