Shane Vaughn ——— First Harvest Ministries International
1 See, the rain goes up and it comes down. Hallelujah. And that's how we as God's people present ourselves to Him. Hallelujah. The more we give, the more we get. The more we believe, the more He can do. The more we can, how big we believe He is, that's as big as He can get in our lives. Is that right? Hallelujah. When I began serving the Lord, I wanted to believe Him in the fullness. Hallelujah. If somebody else did it, I want to do it. Amen. We'll get into that in a minute. So glad to have everybody here tonight. Amen. How many are glad to be in the house of the Lord? Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
2 Hallelujah. Even though our pastor had to be up in Columbia, we're still here worshiping our Father. And we're praying for a dear saint of God. And we're praying for all of that family. And she's built a big constituency. Amen. She's left a mighty heritage. She will leave. She's still breathing. But she will leave. And all of us are going to go that way. And all of us are going to go that way. Every one of us. And the main thing, I want to leave a good heritage. Amen. Hallelujah. I want Him to say, well done. Not half-baked. That's right. But well done, my good and faithful servant.

4 And consolation is the biggest thing that we can have at this time. Is that right? Yes, sir. Is that right? Amen. We're comforted. Amen. We're comforted. Amen. We're comforted with consolation. We're comforted with consolation. Amen. One of the hardest things that there is is losing a loved one. But it's not as hard when you have a consolation. When you're comforted. Even though it hurts. We know we're heading that way. Let somebody say, we're heading that way. Don't think we're exempt from it. Don't think we're exempt from it if we stay around this old world very long.
5 Don't think we're exempt from it if we stay around this old world very long. You don't have to stay very long. You don't have to stay very long. Wasn't long ago, I was like 20 years old. Well, I was an exhilarating young man. Now, I'm old. But David said, what did he say about it? Never saw the righteous forsaken. Never saw the righteous forsaken. Or received begging for bread. Always, he's taken care of me. Always, he's taken care of me. Amen. I'm thankful for that. Yes, he's taken care of me. Thank the Lord. And that should be the attic of each and every one of our lives.
6 He's taken care of me. He's my Lord. He's my healer. He's my salvation. He's my salvation. My all in all. How many believe it? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise God. Anybody else have any needs? Let's pray for Sister Tiffany. She's still having problems with her jaws. Amen. You know that's miserable there. To have one little toothache. But she's been, I mean, dealing with that. Amen. So let's pray for her. Let us talk any other needs. Let's pray for our country. America needs God. Amen. Hallelujah.
7 And whoever we want to be the president or whatever, pray for them, pray for them, pray for them, pray for them. Pray for how God is going to deal in all these situations. Pray for how God is going to deal in all these situations. No matter what we do, it's God's will be done. Is that right? That's in everything that you do. Hallelujah. It looks like an extreme deal that we're facing. But God's will be done. He knows more than we know. He knows over here. And all we know is over here. Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right?

That's right.
15 It wasn't going to be just to be a tax collector, but he wanted to see somebody that could change his life. Hallelujah. He had no idea that the master would go home with him. He had no idea that he would ask to tell him, hey, I'm going home with you. Out of all those people around there, he said, I'm going home with Zacchaeus. Hallelujah. Why? Because Zacchaeus was the one that had a determination to see him. He sees the heart. He sees the determination. He sees the sacrifice that we have. Amen. You might be seated. Hallelujah.

We have to be aligned with that.
27 That's why you have to be sensitive to the voice of God. It's not just going to be an audible voice. It's going to be a regulation. It's going to be a regulation. It's going to be something that he's already put together. It's going to be something that he's already put together. And you're going to follow that attribute. Do you have a desire?

I know thy works that thou art neither cold or you're not hot. I would that whether you either way. Cold or hot. You know, some people think, well, I'm, oh, I'm burning up with the Lord. I'm just so hot with the Lord.
35 And there's the people will confess and say, well, I don't have the Lord in my life. He would rather you be either one way or the other. But if you're a little warm, you're going to be right. and there's an open door and no man can shut it. So I'm going to tell you. So I'm going to tell you, if you try to shut that door, he's going to spew you out of his mouth. But as Brother Kendrick spoke tonight, there's an open door. And look, we got to listen to that knock. And he's knocking and he's knocking and he's knocking and he's knocking and he's knocking. But we got to heed to that knock.
36 And if we do not do it, we're in trouble, church. We can come here. We can come here. We can come here. We can come here at the Friday night and we can keep the Sabbath. But I want to tell you, if you're not living up to par with him, it's not going to count. No, it's not. We got to be holy or we're not holy. Either you're in or you're out. You cannot straddle the fence. A lot of people say, oh, I know the Lord through the power of the Holy Ghost. I'm living for the Holy Ghost. I'm living for the Holy Ghost. I'm living for him the best way that I know how. Are you really?
37 Why would he still be knocking on your door? Honey, it's time to get up and pray. It's time to fast today. It's time to do the things that God wants us to do. I say you're a little warm if you're talking about your neighbor, man. If you can't make right, you're not with him. That's not with him. That's not with him. That's lukewarm. That is very lukewarm. It's not hot and it's not cold, but it's lukewarm. He does not like that. We got to make it right with everybody. I don't care who they are. Yellow, black, white, no matter what color they are.
38 You know, we all live in the kingdom of the Lord. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. We got to do the will of him. That's a child of God. That's one of mine. He's not going to shut that door. Because he's not going to shut that door. Because he's not going to shut that door. Because he's not going to shut that door. Because he's not going to shut that door.
39 Because he's not going to shut that door. Because he's already walked into it. And it's an open door. It's an open door. And Lord, every time that you knock, I want to say, here I am, Lord. Use me. Use me. Use me. Use me. Use me. Use me. And oh Lord, Lord, don't refuse me. I am, Lord. I am. I am. I am, Lord. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am.
