 that we brought in the heaviness of the week, what you may be facing this upcoming week and just put on a garment of praise for a spirit you'll find it does wonders for you. You'll find as you turn your attention to the Lord and the things that all around you as the old Psalm said it goes strangely down as we look upon the Lord. Father we come today into your house Lord. I tell you we're a people that need God and we're here because we're seeking God and so Lord we come with a praise in our lips with thanksgiving in our heart and with a song and a shout of praise we're gonna lift you up today for there's nobody like our God there's nobody that I'm gonna give glory to but the King of Kings and the Lord I won't give my worship to any person I'm not gonna give my praise to anybody but you Lord I made up my mind I'm gonna glorify you in the good times in the bad times in the bad times in the lean times it doesn't matter what's going on in me and around me I'm gonna praise the Lord. David said I purposed in the heart that I'm gonna praise you. Has anybody made up their mind because I tell you if you haven't made it up now in the times that are coming it's gonna be harder so I recommend you make up your mind that no matter what our face I'm gonna praise the Lord. Come on let's put our hands together. A shout of praise today. He is worthy this morning. Let's give him the glory. Hallelujah. Lord we praise you today. You are worthy. There is nobody like our God. Oh we've come to bless you and honor you today. Be praised today. You reign Lord you are the King of. Blesses your name today. Say hallelujah. Witnesses that we see. The presence of the Lord. To wait sometimes you don't have the habit of wearing that garment of presence. It's just gonna hover over you. You're gonna be blessed to the Lord. Evert and protected and come. For your blessing. For long for your presence. His face shine. Be gracious to you. Shine upon. Be gracious to you. Lord is blessing over you today. Be gracious to you. Generations and your family and your children and their children and their children. May his favor be upon you and a thousand generations and your family and your children and their children and their children. May his favor be upon. Who could be against you? I don't know who God's doing it for. Plotty is getting a breakthrough today. I don't know if it's behind me on this platform. I don't know if it's in that Sunday school classroom. It may be someone out in the park. It may be someone driving by the street and the Holy Ghost has jumped on them. I don't know. For this service today. We got an order. We got songs. We got all this. God don't care about any of that. I feel right now the water's troubled. Everybody would get him in. For two generations. For a generation he laid there. Couldn't get his healing. Nobody would step out, step up for it. Oh, but you ain't gotta do that. I want you to shoot both hands in the air right now. The healer is in this house. Oh, the healer is in this house. You've had people praying for you around the clock. You've been praying for years. You've been in the middle of tears on your pillow and nobody else has seen him but God. And today is the day you meet you in the Spirit. I know God is saying if you will reach out. Answer has come. This is the day. Lord, help me. The presence of God is so strong in here. But I'm not a. You know me. I'm not a preacher. I'm not a prophet. I'm not the son of a prophet. But I feel the Holy Ghost so strongly in here today. If you're just in a little with a little bit of faith. Reach out. Step out for you. It may be here. It may be sitting in your seat. I don't know. I don't. I don't see that. But I know God is in this house today. He's taken over this service. If you're sitting at home today. Traveling in a car. You may be in a hotel room. I don't know where you are. You may not tune into this for a week, a month, a year. My God, I pray the Holy Ghost come to you. Right now, first needs to be full of God's Spirit. Signs and miracles and wonders gets the attention of this lost and evil world when they see the power of God moving and breaking chains and healing the lives of his people. The testifies of his goodness. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out. This is called tearing in the Spirit. It's called waiting. Wait on the Lord. Be of good sure courage and he will strengthen your heart. Wait. I say on the Lord. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heat and I will be glorified. Be still and know. God, I'm praying right now. I don't. I don't know what spiritual battles are occurring right now. Battles of faith, doubts and fears and worries that are trying to creep in right now. I feel we're doing battle in the heavenlies right now. I feel that there's a spiritual warfare going on. We can't see it. God, I pray you let us know that it's there and we pierce through that veil in faith trusting in God in the finished work of Christ than what you've got for me. It's done. I know it's here today. Reach over and pray for somebody beside you. I'm not going to ask anybody to come to the altar to move down here for prayer that doesn't want to. If you want to my god, you come down here. The river's flowing wherever you can find the river you get in it. If it's down here, if it's back there, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not that guy. I'm not that problem. But wherever the river's flowing, you get in it. You'll be made whole. If you thirst, you'll never thirst again. He is the thirst quencher. Oh my god. He is the healer. Maybe you knew God a long time ago as you go old in your walk. If there's ever been a day that you loved God more than you love him today, get in his altar. My god, it is time. It is time. If there's ever a day you felt closer to God than you feel today, renew your faith today. Come in, drop near to him. He is the lover of your soul. He is compassionate and gracious and kind. He's full of love and mercy. Pray church, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray through, pray through. That's what the old folks said. That's what the old timer said. I'm gonna pray through. I'm not gonna say a few lines of a prayer I've learned before. I'm gonna pray until I feel the heaven shaking and the foundations trembling and the walls crumbling. I'm gonna pray until I pray through and God comes down and touches me. Touches me anew for us, Lord. Stir us right now. Stir us as you've taken over this service, as your spirit's moving. You do what you want right now. Do your work right now. Prepare our hearts, Lord. Move in our hearts, God. Oh, Lord, draw us closer to you. I pray, God, let me be closer to you today than I've ever been. This is not the time to grow cold. It's not the time to be distracted. It's the time to draw near to God. And you draw near to us. I pray you touch my brother, my sister, wherever they may be in this building. Lord, who's got a need in their life. Right now, you're a great big God and you can do big things, Lord. I believe it. I believe it and I join my faith with them to heal that impossible sickness, to deliver, to set free. You move, Lord. We tarry in your presence. We wait in your presence. We your people are hungry for you today, God. We're hungry for you, God. We're hungry for you. We can't live without you, God. We can't live without you. Meet us here today, God. Meet us here. Don't let us leave. Don't let us leave the same way we came in. Cuddle him and leave today with a fresh anointing, with fresh oil, with fresh fire. Reach out to him, brother, sister. These honors are filling. People are praying all over this house. They can change here today. I believe God's doing something personal and special and unique. Something that you've been piling prayer. God hears it. The word of God tells us he keeps your tears in the bottom. He writes it down. He knows. He sees and he knows. I don't know. Pastor doesn't know. Nobody needs to know God knows him today. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. We tarry in your presence, God. A fresh oil, a fresh fire, a fresh touch of heaven. Holy Ghost, baptized. There's people in this house that are carrying grief. You're burdened with grief. It could be a spirit of heaviness. You've lost a loved one. You've lost a spouse. You've lost a child. You lost a friend. You're carrying a heavy load today. Don't carry it another day. Cast your burden upon the Lord and he will sustain you. If that's you, I want you to lift your hand. I'm not looking at you. I'm praying for you right now. I have a brother and sister in this house. Maybe someone watching today has been carrying a heavy load of grief, Lord. You are the God of all comfort. I pray that you will restore joy and peace and happiness and contentment from the Lord. That where there's an empty place in their life from the loss of that loved one, that it would be filled in a double portion by the presence of God. That the Holy Spirit would come and fill them and let them know our Savior, He that sticks closer than a brother. And that that love would abound in their heart today. Jesus, I pray for them. I pray for them today. Would you honor God? Jesus. Would you honor the Lord today and just slip your hands right up into heaven? Jesus. Jesus. Forget about everything else that's going on around your life and just worship him all around this room. I'm asking all of you in this building and I'm asking all of you that are online right now to just lift your hands where you are and begin to surrender your heart to God. I wish everybody would but but I'm going to tell you God is preparing a vessel for the life-giving power of God to flow through you. Open up your heart to God and worship him in your own way. Lord, we glorify you in this place today. Right now we pray for those that are in Pakistan that are watching online right now. We sin the word of God. We can be there physically but the spirit of God can be right there right now touching and healing every heart, binding up every wounded spirit, pouring in the oil of joy. We believe you God right now to touch every need. Lord, we pray for the McCourts today who are watching faithfully from Fletcher, Ohio that you would sin the word and we rebuke the cancerous cells inside of the body right now on the authority of God's power in his word. We believe right now God that you're healing and touching their lives right now. Your power is enough. Your word is enough. Come on somebody lift your voice and begin to worship him all around this room. I want them to make sure that that the ambience of this room can be felt all around the world right now in Kenya in Washington state in Arkansas in Louisiana and in Mississippi where they're watching in Georgia where they're watching right now in Alabama where they're watching right now all around this globe all around this room. Let your spirit be getting to move all over this place. Have your way God. The spirit of God is moving. Would you reach over and take somebody by the hand that's standing next to you? I'm going to ask you not to pray for yourself but I'm going to ask you to release, to release what's in you to flow from person to person. A church in agreement will see the anointing of God poured out. A church that's in alignment will see the anointing of God poured out. But you pray right now right out loud and don't worry about what it sounds like. Bring words to God right now for a father for my friend for my family member for whoever it is it's I've got a hold of their hand right now. I don't have to know what they're going through. All I need to know is God they're going through and I'm prophesied into their life right now that no weapon formed against them will be able to prosper. That the powerful anointing of God that's flowing in this place right now is enough to destroy every yoke of bondage. Loose them today God in the freedom of your presence. Let a new song come forth out of them from broken places. Let a new song come from broken places. They haven't walked through that trial through that valley whatever that it may mean that you don't bring a new song into their life. The song of the redeemed the song of the redeemed hallelujah. It's the song of the redeemed angels can't sing and say what you care. Now just lift those hands one more time. Let's give him everything we got all of my heart all of my soul come on choir all that is within me all that is within me. I will bless his holy name. I will bless his holy name. I will bless his holy name his holy name. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. The people watching in Atlanta today and in Texas in Wisconsin in Washington and Pennsylvania and Ohio and Arkansas and Illinois all around this globe. If we ever needed you we need you now. If America ever needed you we need you now. We don't just need some God. We need be God the Almighty God. Be glorified Lord. Be glorified. Be glorified. Thank you Jesus. We've come to worship him. That's why you're here. I said we've come to worship him. That's why we're here. We don't come to be seen. We came to worship him. I honorable worship. We came to worship him. I promise you in the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy. I promise you in the presence of the Lord there is the healer of mind soul body and spirit. He's walking by his presence in this room. The Lord is my shepherd goes before he's about to heal masses of people right now. I said he's about to heal the masses of people that are watching online and in this building. Somebody get an agreement. Somebody get an agreement. I'm feeling I'm over. Let it be Jesus. No weapon can harm this moment of time right now as people have been worshiping you and spirit and in truth and it can ever be done in a thousand words and I'm praying God that you'll just let it overflow. We need more than we think we do. We need more of your spirit than we think we do. We need more of the fellowship of the saints than we think we do. Lord don't let us leave this place having had an encounter with church. I want an encounter with you. Let your glory fill the place. We thank you Jesus for what you're doing right now. What you're going to do. There's a great intense spiritual warfare that's going on in our land and you know that to be true, don't you? How many of you know it to be true? Let me see you. I'm going to just tell you saint of God, child of God, Christian believer. You could have been born at any time at any place anywhere in history but God allowed you to be born and be alive as he prophesied to Queen Esther, you've been brought to the kingdom for such a time as this. I want you to turn to your neighbor and tell them right in their face you've been brought to the kingdom for such a time as this. You're not alive for no reason. You're not alive without a purpose. You're not alive just to go to church, mark it off of the box. You're alive because God has kept you alive. Some power here guys. God has kept you alive for such a time as this and everything, hear me church, everything that you walk through, everything you've had to deal with has brought you to this place not so that you could wallow in a bitter place but so that what God has healed and touched in your life can heal and touch to comfort those wherewith I have been comforted. God wants you to be the healer of his hands to others. He's calling you to be prophets and evangelists and ministers and let me tell you you don't need credentials just need the anointing of God. That's the credential to open up your mouth and speak the word in season and let it be. Have I got anybody in my church here today that knows what's going on? So this coming weekend is going to be unleashed. Everything that Sodom and Gomorrah could put on the beaches of Pensacola but right in the middle of that there's going to be the gospel of Jesus Christ that's going to have the power to set people free. You don't have to just have light in a light in a room that's already got light where the light is needed is in dark places. Kirby I want you and Tara to come here.

as far as I know and if they're out there then this is one more thing I'll backpedal on but we're not supposed to have any share of assistance in getting you out on highway 90 today unfortunately we're not able to secure two of the deputies to be here so I'm just saying be very very careful as you're exiting out there's a lot of traffic going on and the roads are currently wet out there all that kind of stuff but the Lord is my shepherd he'll help me drive out of here if he don't I'll just stay here have church all day how about that I just wrote that I've copyrighted it too so don't steal it come on amen so please be noting that I want two very special people to stand up I know this is like hometown kind of church going on but I can't get past this this these two individuals yesterday said I do to one another and they're only 18 years old they're so giddy about getting married Joe you and Nellie would y'all stand up back there right now would you do that there is the shadow ones right there mr and mrs shadowing and before y'all I know y'all got seated but I want all the families because there's Joe's family that's here today and Nellie's family's here and and all would y'all all stand up that are with them today some of them had to go back home but they're here would you let all this precious family and there's mom come on mom come on let them know how much you love and appreciate them amen I there they are faithful watching online from around the country and we're so glad that they're able to be in person here today and I had the privilege of performing that ceremony yesterday I tell you it was it was a very special presence of the Lord that was in that room and we're so thankful for this beautiful couple I don't suggest this for everyone but it worked out well for them they found each other online and so Isaac got on his camel and rode all the way down to Florida and found his Rebecca amen and when I pronounced them husband and wife and said you can kiss the bride I had to tell them they're just some things you can't do online so there you are amen are you happy and you know it this morning you know that our world is certainly spinning faster and faster and things are changing day by day I don't know if I will this week this coming Wednesday night or perhaps the next Wednesday night but I will be bringing you a Bible prophecy update in the days or head very quickly there's a lot of things that are changing even this weekend we understand that Israel perhaps is going to be part of this that perhaps the United States will be as well in literally handing over to the world health organization leadership and the ability to basically giving our sovereignty of health over and other issues over to the world health organization now with all due respect to that group of highly esteemed individuals they've missed the call completely on COVID and you know if I go to a doctor or to someone and they misdiagnosed me they're probably not going to get a second chance you understand what I'm saying I you know I'm kind of particular about my own health they all out there with me right there I'm kind of particular about you know my family and all those kind of things so when people start missing it and and and it's you know I can give grace and mercy but uh you know when you're about to say I'm about to open up your heart and we're going to do some work in there a you better not have gotten your diploma from the holiday and express that you stayed at last night but they missed it completely to hand over the sovereignty of the health and it's much more than that it's literally being able to call the shots for the united states of america and israel said there'll be no debate we're going to do it well i'm just going to tell you my friends we are in the perilous times that the apostle paul spoke of and today I believe that god has put a message on my heart for this time we're living in and so I want you to take your bibles and turn with me to the book of Ezekiel chapter number nine and the book of Ephesians chapter number one and if you will reverence god's word and stand with me I would appreciate that Ezekiel chapter number nine Ephesians chapter number one now father I pray that you would give me the anointing that makes it easy to preach and that you would open the ears of every here to hear what the word of god and the spirit says and for the outcome we give you glory and praise in Jesus mighty name and everybody said a good amen I need you please to stay with me through the altar service at the end of the service I have a very important announcement that I need to bring to you today so please be patient and stay with us and we appreciate you doing that in Ezekiel chapter number nine one passage of scripture as Ezekiel is having this vision that takes place multiple visions but this is one in chapter number nine he sees six angels stepping out of the temple of god and he sees an additional angel but that angel is a very special one who actually has what the bible calls an inkhorn by his side and it is that angel that begins to make the commands and to take action upon what god is saying to Ezekiel and what happens at this point just I'll bring you the update or the background I should say on this but verse number four is my text for today that I want you to underline in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel it says in verse four and the Lord said unto him the man with the inkhorn by his side which scholars believe and certainly as you study it we'll find out that this is a theophany of Jesus Christ an Old Testament image of Jesus Christ in person the Lord said unto him go through the midst of the city through the midst of Jerusalem and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof I want you to flip over to the book of Ephesians chapter number one Ephesians chapter number one verse number two we began there by saying what the apostle Paul says to the church at Ephesus grace be to you and peace from god our father and from the Lord Jesus Christ bless the god and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ who himself according to the good pleasure of his will to the praise of the glory of his grace wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved in whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence having made known unto us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself that in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ that's a direct reference to the rapture both which are in heaven and which are in the earth even in him in whom also we have obtained an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will that we should be to the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ in whom you have also trusted after that you heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation in whom also after that you believe you were sealed with the holy spirit of promise which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession unto the praise of his glory that my friends is a mouthful my english teachers in here would call that a run-on sentence the holy ghost would call it inspired red i call it life because it's the word of god if you believe that today i want you to turn to somebody right now and tell them my title here it is tell them i'm signed thank you for that enthusiasm preach now tell them i'm signed sealed and delivered oh my god where's my keyboardist i'm signed sealed and delivered now you've got to be of certain age to say here i am jesus signed sealed delivered oh you know that song you and you hadn't been saved all your life have you pastor i i find my steve wonder albums every once in a while and i just have to but today my message is signed sealed and delivered i'm excited to bring this message it's been on ice now for quite some time and this past week as i started meditating upon the things of god and what he wanted to say here today i believe that this is the word in season for us ezekiel is not a book that people go to to read for just great pleasure the prophet ezekiel is one who is a major prophet as they call him when we call a major and minor prophets we're not talking about that they are better than the other it just has to do with the content of how much that they wrote but ezekiel is a major prophet he prophesies from the time of the captivity of the nation of israel or southern portion of israel in juda when they go into babelonian captivity and in ezekiel one verse number one he gives us insight into when this all began to take place i want you to get this now it came to pass in the 13th year in the fourth month in the fifth day of the month as i was among the captives by the river of qibar that the heavens were open and i saw visions of god at this young age he is in his teenage years having been one of the captives that came some decade after the babelonians invaded juda and took daniel and as you would know them by their babelonian names shadrach mishach and abendigo into captivity and took them into babelon about a decade after that there is another group of about a hundred uh or more individuals teenagers what the bible calls in daniel the prime of juda that are taken captive and brought to approximately a hundred miles south of the capital of babelon by the river qibar it's a town that is identified as telebib in ezekiel chapter three verse number 15 so here is ezekiel that's about the same age as daniel and they are exiled as contemporaries it is daniel it is ezekiel it is jeremiah and multiple other prophets are prophesying to the nation of israel as i will identify them during this time of ezekiel rising in a place of rejected prophecy i should say even though there were some that listened to him the majority of israel did not it's during the time of ezekiel and most of these most all of these prophets i should say in the word of god find themselves in a place of discouragement Jeremiah spent time in jail and years he prophesied without one convert here is ezekiel who he is married uh when he is arriving into babelon babelonian captivity but his wife dies during his time of prophetic ministry but in a sign god uses ezekiel even his life as a sign to the nation of israel of their utter rejection of god and that the sin that they've taken hold of rebellion and idol worship that god is about to pass judgment and ezekiel after the death of his wife this seems cruel but it's a sign that he was prevented from mourning her death in public as a sign to the nation of israel to Judah of their lack of concern for the things of god so he lives among the exiles and we read where the bible says that in order for ezekiel to get an understanding of of the depths of what's taking place remember there's already been years prior the first captives that were taken into babelonian captivity and give you a picture of the awfulness of babelon and its leader nebuchadnezzar and it's uh it's horror upon the nation of israel and the southern kingdom of juda they took the newborn babies and bashed their heads against the wall and raped the jewish women and slaughtered them and demeaned them and you'll find in the psalm where they mocked their god by saying hey now that you're in captivity sing us one of the songs of zion sing us songs about jerusalem like you used to sing us some songs out of that hymn book that talk about your god sing us some of those courses that you've been singing you're so happy about and they mocked them and the bible says they hang their hearts on the willow tree because their heart is so sad over the captivity of babelon that that they're so rejected and dejected that that they don't even themselves understand why they're in this situation but ezekiel makes it very clear and and they say to themselves if we forget zion if we forget jerusalem let our tongue cleave to the roof of our mouth don't let us be able to say anything at all if we forget our homeland but for 70 plus years they would be in captivity and ezekiel prophesies to the nation of israel as a whole as to why they're in babelonian captivity and he later goes on in his book to tell them that there's going to be a hope and a future for you that's going to span throughout eternity but right now he's prophesying jeremiah is prophesying isai is prophesying and others about why that they're in captivity what brought this about some of them are scratching their head they have no idea and in order for ezekiel this is just a little side note here in order for ezekiel to really understand what these jewish captives are going through he commands ezekiel to sit down with them for seven days and don't open your mouth sometimes we feel like that we need to rush into a crisis or into a situation and start babbling our mouth about what we think we know about the situation or how to heal somebody or how to fix something when in fact you don't know what you don't know and the best thing to do is just sit down among them and shut your mouth because god said before you open your mouth and start telling them what i want you to tell them i want you to sit with them and feel what they feel now if he would have allowed the prophet the preacher ezekiel to just get up and start telling how he felt it would come out in anger because here's ezekiel who's been living for the lord but now he himself is a captive embalon along with all these people that have rebelled and now god is commanding him to prophesy to this group of rebellious people that caused him to get in the shape that they're in so he wouldn't allow him to say anything for seven days so that he could feel what they felt so when he did preach and prophesy he wouldn't come across in anger and in a hateful spirit but it would come across in love and in compassion but it would also come as a direct word from the lord. Babylon brought some 10 000 plus jews into this village where ezekiel is living in fact they get the last king of Judah and bring him along Jehoachin who comes in in second kings chapter 24 and ezekiel it begins prophesying about five years after he arrived in Tel Aviv he prophesies his his time of ministry prophesying for about 22 years according to the scripture and he preaches repentance while he's telling the children of Israel about why they're there and what got them in this shape there are false prophets in the land who are saying everything's going to be all right you don't have to worry about it everything's going to be just fine you don't have to worry about coming to church or praying or going to synagogue or anything like that that's all religious stuff they say god's going to take care of us because of who we are we're the chosen we're the jewish people and this is god's town of Jerusalem nobody would ever think about coming into Babylon this was prior to Nebuchadnezzar arriving and yet the prophets told them listen to me church the prophets warned that if you continue to do the sinful things you're doing that judgment was sure to come because god will not wink at your sin and your idolatry just say that amen it'll get worse before it gets better Ezekiel witnessed the judgment of god and he was with the visions and dreams that he was having he was so stricken and overwhelmed with fear that he fell on his face before god and he said god please tell me because what i'm seeing is an utter wipeout of the jewish people my people are you going to slaughter them because of their sin and start are you going to leave any kind of remnant at all god said i'll always have a remnant and while i don't have time to preach on it today he uses the prophet Ezekiel to literally give an illustrated sermon in another portion of this book where he commands him to cut all of his hair off which is a sign of uh the judgment that is to come and mourning and sackcloth and ashes it's put on and he says take all of your hair and part it into three parts and he said i want you to burn this portion and that's what's going to happen to the first phase of him in the second phase i want you to hit it with a sword and it's going to be split that's what's going to happen to the second and there's another that's utterly going to be destroyed but he said i want you to take a piece of your hair and bind it together and put it away in a secret place because i'm always going to have a remnant of people that are going to be serving me and so the lord gave three reasons why the judgment of god through the prophet Ezekiel and others was coming upon the nation of israel and was justified and here they are on the screen first people were exceedingly wicked he says in the scripture you're exceedingly wicked i don't have time to be able to go into the depths of it but i'm just going to tell you early this morning as i was reading even more in the book of Ezekiel i want to say to you that everything you're seeing right now in america and around the world is exactly what juda was taken captive for and slaughtered by the babilonians for the judgment of god was falling upon the nation because they were exceedingly wicked immoral activity happening at the door let me give you a little bit more of an intro here for this because this is so important he says uh not only were they wicked but they were filled they filled the land with violence and injustice nobody cared about justice the courts didn't care about justice this is just Ezekiel's time not now the courts didn't care about justice people didn't care about justice and i'm not talking about social justice or equity i'm talking about right and wrong in your face how many of you understand there's still a right and wrong there's still a truth and there's still a lie it said that the judgments that nobody cared about anything being right it was it was what the book of judges says that there was no king in israel and every man did what was right in their own eyes i hope you're thinking about the time we're living and thirdly he says the people thought and this is where the false prophets came in they said hey you don't see god around here and we know and believe there's a god somewhere but don't worry about it because god is so far away and this is where we are today with sins of america and the world that are being flaunted in the face of god in his word and he's so far away that he's not even watching so you can live and do what you please now if you were looking for a tickly sermon here today you came to the wrong church because i'm going to tell you what the word says and then you can work it out your own salvation with fear and trembling here's what took place let me break it down a little bit for you this in no way exhaust the subject here but they allowed the people of god allowed idol worship in the temple it was so bad that a moral acts were happening at the front door between the priests and the people and temple prostitutes homosexuality was set aside in a tent beside the temple where they would perform their what they call religious rituals with sexual immorality and worship the pagan gods of the day that was happening in the temple in jerusalem let me stop and say right here that we've witnessed things happening in the church right now from leaders all the way through the rank and file that suddenly is being the cover is being pulled off that whole denominations are denouncing the word of god and walking away from it literally ordaining what god calls an abomination are y'all with me here this morning and so as a result of that we're seeing the same things happen right now and in the temple no less in fact at one point there was a whole group of people that believe that we should worship here in Ezekiel's time in the temple that we should worship the sun god instead of the true and living god and so the leadership of the church got all caught up in climate change and whenever Ezekiel sees this vision he sees the leaders of the church at the door of the temple turning their back on god and his altar and bowing down to the sun god and offering up their worship to the creation more than the creator romans one has something to say about that a moral acts with idols idols of war they loved going to war this is Babylon and it had seeped into the lives of the children of israel to the degree that they had rejected god outright i want to stop right here and say this to you because some people want to write off the 10 commandments because it's the old testament the old covenant and we don't go by that anymore well you can fool yourself if you want to and you can fool people around you but you're not going to put that in the face of god i want to make sure you understand what god starts out with and he maintains this to this day thou shall have no other gods before me pastor what what makes an idol an idol anything that gets between you and god almighty is an idol and god said you better not have any other gods between me and you don't make me run them down so god is warning us from the old testament pages of ezekiel today that judgment is coming that you can't have parents suing their children because they did not give them a grandchild in court you can't have children being suspended from school because they did not use the proper worldly pronoun for the other kids in the class you can't have congress stepping up and applauding abortion out loud you can't have justice when the intimidation is upon supreme court justices from those that are in the streets calling for their demise i want you to know that the righteous are still going to be righteous and the ungodly are still beyond godly but god will always have a remnant of people i want to know are you part of that remnant you better you better count the cost before you raise your hand because i tell you today i'm not a prophet but i will tell you today this that between now and the coming of the lord jesus christ it's not going to be any easier for you to serve the lord but i got news for you i'm about to give you something that you're not going to have to worry about it god is going to walk with you through the fire and when you come out on the other side they'll be you will you will be signed sealed and delivered by the power of almighty god the day of judgment is coming i say to you in america from little old pace a day of judgment is coming i don't care what the modern preachers and prophets say all you got to do is read the book of ezekiel the book of Jeremiah and god said they're saying things about me that they're making up in their own mind y'all better hear me preach this morning the current sins of humanity are no different than in ezekiel's day and here is perhaps for me the most horrible thing that came out of this before ezekiel sees these six angels and the one special angel come and the judgment is pronounced upon the nation of israel god shows up in his own temple that's within that where he's supposed to be it is and he's been in that holy of holies in that temple but when he comes down the picture is he steps away from the mercy scene you read it for yourself he comes off of the mercy where everybody's supposed to meet him in the place of mercy he comes off of the mercy seat and steps out into the most holy place the outer court and then you see him come the bible says ezekiel tells us to the threshold why if god gets up off that seat of mercy judgment is about to fall and i'm just going to tell you right now that there are many places that are having church you should thank god for the presence of god in this room today because when god exits his own house judgment is about to fall upon a generation you better not take it for granted both here and at your own home you better be sure that god is feeling welcome at your house and that there's a seat of mercy that you can always go to because you don't want the law ladies and gentlemen you want mercy i cried for mercy for this congregation this morning and a world that is on its fast track the hell and i got news for you god is the only answer today so god's presence is literally removed from the temple and then he removes the people of god from their land by absolute restraint of the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar what was the wickedness the whole the whole land was filled with blood bloodshed everywhere the cities were full of injustice people didn't believe in god anymore something came along that challenged their faith called covid and now they don't know if god is near or far and if he is who cares i saw it today i pulled away from my house and a man is mowing the lawn as if it's just another day and i said out loud to my wife two will be mowing one will be taken and another left somebody was jogging down the road as if it was another day i said two will be jogging one will be taken and another left i want you to know how close we are it's even at the door it is the imminent return of Jesus christ and only those who have been signed sealed and delivered will pass judgment that's coming upon this earth this is the end result that i'm telling you right now of a people who have fallen into false worship and idol worship and i can tell you the bible says whenever he tells the man with the incorn by his side he said start in my sanctuary with judgment let judgment begin at the house of god let us get right oh i wish that world would get right i wish it overturned a rovee wait i wish they'd do that let me tell you somebody friends if my people which are called by my name are y'all listening to me this morning some of you stayed out too late last night i can tell you're fogged over you need to shake yourself this morning and realize we're closer today to the coming of the lord but right behind it is a judgment that you don't want you your children or your children's children to suffer and the only answer is in this house by the presence of god and ladies and gentlemen it's time that we make a move closer to god than we ever let me make it clear for you today from the book of first Corinthians chapter number six no you're not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of god be not deceived be not deceived don't listen to everybody preaching and everybody talking on television and online that god is a merciful god oh he is a merciful god but he's justice too are y'all with me here this morning neither fornicators or idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor abusers of themselves with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor revilers nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of god the word of the lord but there is a way of escape in this same chapter in same verse he's calling us now in person he's calling this nation to get on its face because god always gives hope he never shuts it down without there being a remnant without there being a people that have been set aside for this cause and he says this in that same chapter in that same verse but such were some of you but you are washed but you are sanctified but you are justified in the name of the lord jesus and by the spirit of our god let me take you on this journey this morning as ezekiel saw this vision with all of these that step out in verse number four there's a there's a passionate cry that comes god says to the man with the inkhorn in his hand he said i want you to go through the whole city watch this now i'm about to show you something are you awake he said i want you to go through the whole city and i want you to mark them with a special mark in their forehands remember i'm talking about old testament here in other words there would be a group that would be exempt from god's judgment because they were marked in a special way what does this mark do the mark parts the mark separates the righteous from the wicked that's god's way i'm telling you right now as i speak god is separating this thing don't you try to separate them because we look on the outward but god looks on the inward part come on somebody don't you try to tell somebody they're saved they're not they're this they're that oh no no keep your hands off of it you just keep your face toward god pray for them no matter what because the thing and the person that we look at that seems like they are in such bad shape that's the person god is after after with fire and he's reaching into that place to pull them out so whatever you do keep on praying keep on walking keep on serving keep on worshiping god's going to have himself a remnant but it's becoming more clear every day that god is separating the righteous from the wicked i'm going to tell you the wicked and the righteous according to the parable and matthew will grow up as weed and tears together and they can abide by each other for a period of time i mean you you're going to work and there's centers there and and you're going to this your kids are going to school and now they're bombarded with all kind of nonsense that you can't even do your arithmetic and your science and anything else because it's all about pushing an agenda we can live by that side by side for a while but eventually ladies and gentlemen the time will come when god is going to separate the righteous from the wicked and god knows who is wicked and god knows who is righteous and he will not make any mistakes when he separates the two he says i want you to mark the people this is not just some entity or building he said i want you to mark the people he said set a mark in their forehead and there's two qualifiers here he said i want you to mark those who are sighing and those that are crying over the abominations that are happening in the midst they're up hear this those that were sighing and those that were crying because of the sin that was taking over is there a sigh and a cry out of your heart today are you ignoring what's taking place as if it doesn't matter he says sighing right here is speaking of an inward concern of people a heart that is grieved with sin crying is an outward complaint of people about the sins of the land and to do something about it it's important that sighing and crying comes before god because people may cry outwardly and show outward tears over sin but inwardly they don't sigh about it they're not really concerned from their heart i want you to know those who cry but do not sigh are hypocrites they're hard as far from god they cry over it but they don't want to do anything about it and then those who sigh and do not cry are cowards in other words they don't want to get involved in this situation they hate that it's happening they hate that this is going on they don't want it to happen but i'm not willing to get up and do something about it those who sigh need to cry out against the evil and take a stand against evil and for right now let me tell you what this seal was this mark because this is where we're zero and down to what is the purpose of this mark it's on the screen it guarantees the safety of those who are marked with this special mark it's the protection against judgment he said i don't want you to do anything remember this the judgment was when you get through sealing these people the rest of them every man woman boy and girl are to be slaughtered because god said i'm on purify my house pastor that's a little bit extreme right there he's trying to tell us today you cannot caught a little sin middle sin big sin whatever you want to call it everything that's sinful and wicked has got to die for a pure and a righteous people i wish i had a few folks who knew something about righteousness today he said those that when you mark them it's going to be a guarantee that my judgment is going to pass they're not going to die secondly he said it's a mark of ownership a mark of ownership i know those who have the mark in their forehead thirdly it certifies that something is actually real and authentic hear me believers may feel out of place right now in the world we're in and you're going to get more uncomfortable as we go down the line despised by the world but god thinks differently about the believer he said i favor the righteous and i will protect them because those that have come to me i have marked them for the day of deliverance so people that are marked today are signed come on help me preach i'm racing to the end so what is the provision pastor of this mark this seal of god there's got to be something about it from the book of ezekiel you're about to have your mind blown here first of all we jump over to the book of Ephesians and Ephesians one tells us exactly what this mark is going to do for us first of all it is the provision of inclusion somebody say inclusion come on shout inclusion now you're not listen we could all been out of shape because somebody didn't like our post and we could all been out of shape because somebody didn't invite us to their party and somebody didn't do this and somebody do that i feel left out pastor i want to let you know according to the scripture you are marked if you've come to christ you're included in the beloved you belong to him he said you've been adopted you've been accepted in the beloved you're not being pushed out you're in the group that's going to be delivered you're in the group that has been sealed grace and mercy has covered your life and you're in the beloved and the devil can't do a thing about it oh somebody may not like you go into their church somebody may not like you showing up at their parade but i got news for you i'm marked and i'm included i've been adopted hallelujah oh nobody adopts anything they don't want he said i chose you joey rogers and you're on my side from this day forward i am included in the beloved look at your neighbor and tell him i've been adopted in the beloved some of you can't say you've been adopted in the beloved i love the fact that i've been accepted by him so many people run around trying to be accepted will you accept me will you accept me and they find rejection on every hand can i tell you if nobody tells you your love god said i love you with a everlasting love if nobody tells us that you've got something in store for you god has already given you the full book to let you know there's more in store up ahead than there ever has been behind you help me preach somebody and the holy ghost spoke to my heart and said why is adoption not an option for the lawmakers and the activists of today because it is the answer to abortion aborting excluding the child from being able to have a life adopted me means he wanted me i got news you might not want me but god wants me i'm gonna try that on this deadwood side over here i said you may not want me but god wants me somebody ought to give god praise this morning because out of all the people that may have come by god said i wanted you i want somebody to give him about 30 seconds of praise for being included adopted and accepted is that all you got i bet you praise him more when you step across the golden threshold into heaven and you'll thank god a million years that he got me in the beloved thank god look at your neighbor and tell him i'm accepted in the beloved you may not like me but god loves me he adores me come on somebody he loved me so much he made me in his likeness and in his image big ears big nose and ball spot and all i got news for you i'm going in with a shout because i already know that i know that i know i'm accepted by the lamb of god this would be a good time for you to make some noise in the room i'm accepted in the beloved not only that but there's only three things here i'm identified with him in whom you also trusted after that you heard the word of truth the gospel of your salvation in whom also after that you believe oh there's the kicker i'm talking about people that are marked that are sealed now you believed and you were sealed with that holy spirit a promise your seal your mark identifies that you've been found by christ so in other words when god sees you he identifies you as his very own because you have the seal the mark the sign of identity yeah that's what i need i need the good housekeeping seal of approval oh come on now i mean jib is so concerned about their peanut butter i'm gonna tell you something you mess with my peanut butter now you're on my side because they sent out the notification and said this certain lot number has the potential of salmonella in it if you have that throw it out why because the company of jiff put their name on it if it's not right they risk losing their own reputation as the good peanut butter because they've sealed how did that salmonella get in there anyway somebody broke the seal can i say the peanut butter backslid i don't know maybe i could do that i'm just gonna tell you there's some stuff in there and i want you to know that if it ain't right you got to get it out because a little 11 11 of the whole lot i feel like preaching right now i said you can't mess around and have a little bit of sin in your jiff peanut butter you got to get it out or it'll kill you make you sick that's the reason why you got to throw that out and get you a new job don't mess with my jiff what's your jiff jesus in the fire that's what it is just made that up right there i'll never eat peanut butter again just saying every time i take a taste of that i'm just probably gonna spend time jesus in the fire yeah yeah yeah yeah uh you know why because when the name of the company has been put on the manufactured product they send you the warranty deed and said if it's ever broken if it's ever messed up send it back to me come on back to the manufacturer don't go to the doctor don't go to the lawyer don't go to your neighbor come on back to the one who made you he'll remake you remode you put you back together and get you back in service for the kingdom that mark is an identification your bible says preach master your bible says nevertheless the foundations of the lord standard sure watch this the lord knoweth them that are his oh my god washington may not know who you are congress may not know who you are hollywood may not know who you are but if you got the mark god knows who i am he knows me by name i'm identified in christ slept in neighbor and tell him i'm identified in christ can i preach a little bit more y'all with me god knows who you are but if you got a mark from god and god knows who you are guess who else who knows the devil the devil knows who he is in fact he's such he's such a horrible copycat that because god has a mark in the forehead he had to get him one too revelation 13 the bible says that there's going to be a whole group of people and i just want to let you know the mark of the lord is an invisible mark and there's some people that's already cultivated a life of the mark of the beast you'll be ready to receive whatever that it is when it comes down the bike because you have identified with the wrong crowd preach pastor but i've identified with the one who's marked me and sealed me i've been signed sealed and delivered the devil knows those are his revelation 13 the mark of the beast you can't buy sell trade you can't do anything unless you receive the name of the beast the number of his name or his mark his signature i got news for you somebody told me the other day i heard your pastor say that if you're getting the tribulation whatever you do don't take the mark of the beast that's the reason why i'm gonna do what i want to do but i won't take the mark of the be limiting some you've already taken it if you've already made up your mind to go on into the tribulation after all this preaching after all this grace after all this mercy after all this love after all this joy and you're gonna jump over that and get that mark you better get the mark that belongs to you that jesus gave you free of charge i'm almost done he said i'm included somebody shout i'm included um identify and i have an inheritance look at your neighbor push him and tell him i got an inheritance this mark tells me i've got an inheritance ephesians said we've been sealed with the holy spirit of promise are you hearing me the seal certifies something is authentic and it guarantees your inheritance pastor why am i having such trouble about all this because it's not all been revealed yet everything god's doing is being peeled back like an onion but on the inside there's a promise so what is the deal why didn't he mark their pinky toe why didn't he mark their shoulder why why didn't he tattoo their leg i'll tell you why notice in the scripture that the mark was to be upon their forehead the holy spirit will keep your mind on jesus all the time not only does it a billboard walking down the street when you've been sealed how many of you know what i'm talking about you can get around the presence of another christian and the next thing you know something is clicking something's going on something's happening right i feel that same kindred spirit and then you can get around somebody who's got the wrong mark come on somebody and the next thing you know you ready to get out of there they don't make no difference just keep my hamburger i'm gone i just keep whatever i'm gone come on somebody my father owns the cattle on a thousand hill jesus purchased everything that i have today i want you to know his mercy he the bible says this that his righteousness came to us by what he did on the cross that means that if he has righteousness i've got righteousness if he's got mercy i got mercy if he's got grace i got grace if he's got joy i got joy whatever he's got it belongs to me i am a son of god i got an inheritance i got an inheritance what does that mean i don't get it i don't get it all at once but i will get it my spirit's been saved my soul's being saved and my body shall be saved come on somebody second Corinthians says this now he would establish you in christ has anointed you who has also sealed you and given you their earnestness of the spirit in your heart now i'm about to race down the road to be in i hope you're here because this is where i want to bring you to what is this mark because if i can get this mark i'll be guaranteed safety don't mean you're not going to go through stuff even those that were marked in jerusalem went through stuff but the devil couldn't touch them their mind was being renewed day by day they enjoyed the close presence of god almighty even though he wasn't in the temple y'all ain't talking to me now i'm talking about took the seal right off of the ark of the covenant and put it right up on my forehead and behold now are you the sons of god and behold now you are the temple of the holy goat i'm not waiting to get to pace assembly building to be in the presence of god i stepped into it when i came up out of the bed this morning i have an inheritance and it's guaranteed so watch this three times only three in the scripture is this hebrew word mark used seal mark what's that all about well i'm glad you asked oh david in first simul 21 are you still with me oh daniel in first simul 21 was having a bad day one day because he and his mighty men had found themselves in the middle of the palestinian those old philistines and they've been fighting with them and then up comes this new bible with sol and they said we got to get that man out of here and david said i can't be here and he started faking like he was mad crazy frothing at the mouth are y'all with you gonna love this david was acting like he was mad and they counseled one another and they said you know what this guy's crazy we got to get him out of here i feel like walking around just a little bit poo because i know what i'm about to say but y'all don't know what i'm about to say so i gotta walk this off just a little bit before i give you the whole loaf in one deal i just want to let you know that there was old david frothing at the mouth acting like he was crazy but david wasn't crazy and i know when the holy ghost started speaking to my heart he said all those christians between now the coming of the lord that world out there is gonna look at you and say they're all crazy they're they're up in the house jumping and shouting and falling on the floor and and and and and and all of a sudden they're dancing and speaking in a tongue i can't understand at least i hope this holy ghost church was speaking to i just want to say to you they're gonna look at you and say you're crazy that's all right i'm leaving but before i leave before i leave david was so he said i gotta i gotta fake this thing i gotta i gotta do something and he gets over you read in your bible he gets over to the sideboard of the door going in where they are and he starts the bible says he starts scrabbling on the door y'all thought scrabble was a game you made up somewhere david was scrabbling and you know what he scratched in that doorpost he scratched the mark you're gonna love this the bible says that jub in jub 31 and 35 jub says god i know that you're going to listen to me and so i'm telling you now it's my desire that word desire there means mark it literally job is saying i put my mark on it my signature are y'all with me now i know you sign your name and stuff but my daddy tells me about my grandfather who whenever contracts and stuff or whatever it was he needed to sign back in the day he didn't have formal education but they said if you can't sign your name just put your mark in there i got a question for you have you remember what that mark was you think it's an x but when i come to ezekiel chapter nine verse four he said man with the inkhorn in your hand jesus want you to walk through the city with all this wickedness going on and all this debauchery and all this stuff going on and i want you to find my people and i want you to mark them in their forehead are you ready for this the word in hebrew in these three locations put it on the screen is the word taw which is in ezekiel's time the word for mark it is the last letter in the hebrew alphabet but more importantly the mark was not just some kind of sign and any kind of sign it was the mark of the cross in the old testament so when i'm not talking about the pope or the priest putting some ashes on your head that goes away after lint's over i'm talking about the cross applied to the forehead of your i want to know is there anybody in here who's been marked with that kind of a mark get on your feet and giving glory right now in this if you've been marked and sealed come on somebody shout i'm signed i'm sealed and i am delivered everybody's standing everybody's standing i don't have time to preach no more but how do you know this all gonna come to pass bastard because he backs it up with a power seal anything the holy put that sign back up there for me anything the holy ghost births he blesses you get away from the cross and you'll never make it but i'm just gonna tell you hey lord i don't have to fight that devil i've been identified i've been included and i've got the inheritance of the holy ghost seal i've got the good god seal of approval on my life and whenever the devil tries to block me and whenever the devil tries to stop me i don't take him to my church at pace assembly i don't take him to my prayer closet i don't take him to my friend's house or on facebook i take that joker right back to the cross where he was once and all defeated and i got news for you the judgment of god passes over i wish you had somebody say seal me holy ghost lift your hands all over this house and bless him that you've been signed sealed and delivered every head bowed every eye closed hear what i'm about to tell you god's not gonna change his seal i want you to know you're not gonna get saved except through jesus christ at the cross period end those of you that are watching online and in this building today if you don't have that mark of the cross on your life you have no identity you're not included and you have no inheritance to boast of but i can tell you right now there's always hope ezekiel said walk through the city and mark those that are mine i want to see with the showing of hands here this morning how many of you been marked by the cross of jesus christ sealed by the power of the holy ghost come on how many tongue talkers are in this place right here

never been baptized in the holy ghost right now is a good time for you to open your mouth and let the river flow if you haven't been sealed by the cross of jesus christ that's the only way getting in and i promise you it's the only way getting out did you hear me it's the only way getting out he's only gonna come for those who have been marked by the cross that's the promise of god pastor i don't have the cross in my life i haven't given my life to jesus i'm not sealed you're standing in this building right now and you need jesus christ as your lord and savior i'm not going to be labored this i'm going to ask you if you're back slidden if you've tossed out tossed out the warranty on your life i want you to get out from where you are come straight to this altar right now i'm not counting to three i'm not asking you mother may i i'm saying if you're not right with god and you don't have that cross on your life you better come get it right now while you got a chance i promise you things are fast changing so quickly that in 24 hours this entire world could be on fire the leader of the of the military general said to all those dead at west point you should get ready for global war on the horizon my dear friends you're not going to be able to live in this world without the mark of jesus christ and the power of the holy ghost that sealed you come on have i got any sealed saints in here the day let me tell you there's coming a day when jesus returns that whenever he snatches people off of this earth hear me now it's going to be those who have the mark he knows those that are his and i believe today my dear friend that god is getting his church ready how powerful is this it's so powerful that when the antichrist takes over this world there will be 144 000 jews that god said seal him in their forehead and the devil can't kill him nothing can happen until god said it's over i'm telling you the same power of god that's out there in the future is resident right here right now if you don't know the lord and you want to know him today slip that hand up right where you are people are praying all around this room amen i long and look for the day when people flood out of these pews and run to the front because they know how close the judgment of god is now here's a question how many of you know beyond the shut of any doubt there's some people in your family friends of yours who do not have that mark of the cross on their life if that's you lift up your hand right where you are now let me just tell you something the 144 000 jews are marked in the in the book of revelation and the bible says this and then we're gonna pray hear me the bible says that the question is asked when the 144 000 arrive in heaven the question is asked who are these and the answer comes back these are they who have come out of great tribulation and have washed their robe in the blood of the lamb watch this and have given witness now hear what i'm telling you the implication here for the 144 000 because the difference of the operation of the holy spirit in the tribulation period is going to be different than what it is right now we sense and feel the holy goes in that day it's going to be their efforts so there was effort by the 144 000 that will be put into place for them to be able to make it to heaven how much more effort do we need right now toward our loved ones and friends and people that we say we know jesus is coming let me not keep my mouth silent so we're about to pray but you're gonna pray and you're gonna pray for the people that you know who do not know jesus christ and i'm gonna tell you my dear friends it's not how much talking you do to them sometimes you just need to sit where they sat i'm hurting don't tell me about jesus right now i'm hurting just sit down with them feel what they feel a little while before you open your mouth and testify wait for the holy ghost to tell you now because if you sow a seed in the wrong season it will not come to pass but a word in due season the bible says you got somebody you know that you need to bring before the throne let me see your hand one more time with that hand lifted up it represents the people that is on your heart right now now would you quit worrying about what other people think and open your mouth up real loud right now and start praying intercessory prayer for god to make a
