contact with let me tell you we've got a miraculous visitation you see when that net was thrown into the deep and the great big water out there there's a lot of territory out there there was a lot of things out there that probably wished it hadn't dropped but there was some things out there that was a swimming alone minding their own business and all at once something come down on them and it began to drop around them and without even knowing what was happening they started heading toward the shore they started heading toward the bank they started heading toward a prayer meeting they started heading toward a church they started heading toward God W hey do you remember when you were sailing around in the sea of sin and all of a sudden the old gospel net dropped down on you and some preacher somewhere started pulling the rope and began to tug you in and draw you out of sin into the church and that's why it's still in style of seeing something got a hold of me something got a hold of me a miraculous visitation but wait a minute you may be seated then the Bible said that when they got to the shore the miracle wasn't over because he began to separate and to go through and to weed out and a bunch got thrown back reject reject wrong stuff for this Bunch can't cut it here reject and I was laying over there flopping saying God I hope I got what it

takes cuz I don't want to go back I want to stay on the shore W I want to tell you tonight we have a miraculous preservation a miraculous preservation it was a miraculous visitation that brought us in but it's a miraculous preservation that has kept us in there's been Temptations but we're still here there's been trials but we're still here there's been tests but we're still here we fought the devil but we're still here we fought the flesh but we're still here and it's by the miraculous power of God don't lose the miracle of it all Hallelujah the fact that you're here tonight you're still walking in a miracle folks are looking all over the world said I want to see a miracle if you still got the Holy Ghost and you're still living holy you're living in a miracle you're living in a miracle Matthew chapter 18 tells an unusual story it's one I could not understand for some time it tells about a man that was in debt I mean he was in debt if he gave his whole check for the rest of his life he'd have never paid out he's like a lot of folks he's just always hoping that when the bill collector came he wouldn't be home cuz I don't care how big and bad his wife was she couldn't handle that debt but King said it's Reckoning time son I'm calling you in about this debt that you owe oh yes sir yes sir I knew I owed you a little something there sir I realized you know I was a little short I ain't been getting the hours I need lately kind of being cut back you understand that some but you don't understand this debt is $20 million from what I've read in comparison of our monetary values it was equal to $20 million pretty good debt so the king said take him sell him sell his wife and his children his land everything he's got and we're going to hold him in jail and the Bible said this man flung himself at the king's feet and said sir have compassion on me have patience I will pay thee all and the Bible said his Lord his King looked at him and said I for forgive I for forgive now here's what I don't understand the fellow left the the presence of the king and he was walking down the street and as he walked by he saw a guy and he of registered on him that that that Rascal owes me some money you mind if I rough you up a little bit you're seem to have a good spirit and you're not too big the Bible said he grabbed him by the throat said you pray you will pay me or I will kill you he grabbed him by the throat and began to squeeze the life out of him said I'm not going to let you go until you pay me what you owe me what that fellow owed him was an equivalent of $20 $20 now here's the way I see the story when the king had forgiven him he should have left that place like this

forgiv forgiv forgiv forgiv forg forgive he should have ran down the streets like this sir sir I I know you don't you don't even know my name sir but let me tell you the king said for given have a good day sir you don't even know me but let me tell you I just come from somewhere and I owe a debt no way I could pay it but he said forgiven I love you I like you what a day this is what a day this is forgiv now may I remind you tonight amen or has it been too long since the king said about that debt you owe I was hopeless I was helpless I couldn't pay out no way off doomed and he said I forgive and we must never never lose the miracle of forgiveness I'm preaching tonight to some folks that perhaps have been in the church so long you have forgotten what a debt you owed that's why sometimes we get a little grouchy with God we get a little demanding with God if you don't do this I quit if you don't meet this I'm giving up if you don't do this for me I'm throwing a towel in and we forget we were hopeless we were helpless he forgave us and recently I came across this some of you said but brother Huntley I wasn't a drink not everybody in Pentecost was a der do what it's pretty near it pretty near it right but not everybody the dercks pretty well show that they remember they were hopeless they were helpless but let me say this to you if by any chance you came out of false Doctrine if by any chance you came out of deception of the religious World Now you listen I get through and then if you want to say something about it all right but listen if what I read in my Bible is right you that came out of a religious world of false Doctrine ought to be more excited and more thrilled and more in love with the Lord than the dery here's why because he said I have not come to call the righteous how did you even get here without him calling you when he came to seek and to save the lost but the self-righteous somehow another he said I'll let you come too if you'll just realize it's a miracle hey it's a miracle to be delivered from a trinity Theory it's a miracle to be delivered from religious confusion it's a miracle it's a miracle you think we shout too much not on your life you think we're too excited not on your life we're walking in a miracle we're living in a miracle we're experiencing a miracle here we are a little drama please if you will Sunday night John Doe comes in he repents he gets the Holy Ghost he's baptized in the name of the Lord Wednesday night bible study he comes to church here he comes everybody say Wednesday night

bible study not because of the time not camp meeting just Bible study and here he come here he comes he don't park in the back oh he's respectful excuse me sir pardon me sir I love you brother ain't Jesus good how you sister would would it offend you if I sit right there are you sure I don't want offend anybody not any of God's precious little children I wouldn't hurt you for the world is it all right now if it's going to offend you I'll go back Yonder I mean if you think I might use a little bit too much of your oxygen in here I'll go back over y cuz you see this old boy don't care where he sits he is just glad to be here he is just glad to be here he's glad to be out of the devil's dens he's glad to be out of The Honky tones he's glad to be out of booze he's glad to be out of alcohol he's glad to be in the house of ah you may be seated so can I have your seat for a few minutes church starts praise God praise God the pastor says Jesus Is God did you hear me did you hear me Jesus Is God Jesus Is God Jesus is God the pastor says then Peter said unto them repent excuse me fellas what a message have you ever heard that before you ever heard that is that the greatest preacher or is that the greatest preacher be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus never heard such never heard such but you know the sad State of Affairs has been up to this point everybody say up to this point up to this point but I'm telling you something's changing up to this point you could almost always tell who had been in the church the longest you say is it a spirit of discernment no it's two eyes then how do you know they're the saddest and the sest but the Holy Ghost is sending a Revival and it's going to be hard to tell the new convert from the season sake it's going to be hard to tell who's who woo because we're going to catch the spirit of the miracle of it all it's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle oh
