As soon as you get it, congregation, as soon as you see it on the screen, say amen. >> Amen. >> Listen to Israel. Israel's pray. >> Israel's pray. They backslid. God has punished them. Oh Lord, why hast thou made us to heir from thy ways and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants sake the tribes of thine inheritance. In other words, God God led them down some wrong roads because they were going the wrong way. Then he says this in verse 18. He's still praying now. Israel's praying. The people of thy holiness have possessed it. That's inheritance. >> But a little while our adversaries, everybody say our adversaries. >> Our adversaries >> have trotten down thy sanctuary. Our enemies have come in and torn down the sanctuary. Look at verse 19. We are >> thine. Thou never bearest rule over them. Who's the Who's the them? The enemy's tearing down the sanctuary. >> Why did he never bear rule over them? >> They were not called by my name. >> I'm glad God looks out over this church here. I'm glad God looks out over us. >> I'm I'm glad I'm glad God I'm glad God looks out over us. And I'll tell you, I want to end it. Our city is not necessarily have the prince and the power of drug addiction like some cities. Some cities the prince of the power is meth. The prince of the power is is all kind of drugs. I'm going to tell you what the prince of this city is. >> Man-made religion. false religion, >> incomplete religion, >> twisted gospel, >> and in the name of Jesus tonight, >> I come against that principle of power of the air. >> You hear me, devil? We have the truth and nothing but the truth. So help us, God. And we're going to come against you. We're going to come against your partial gospel. We're going to come against your twisted gospel. We're going to come against you telling people they're saved when they're not saved. We're going to come against you. We cast you out. We cast you out of our city. We We want this city to be filled with the glory of God. We want this city to be filled with the truth. >> By the name of Jesus, >> I said by the name of Jesus, >> we take authority over this city. This is Jesus city. This is Jesus name city. If Jesus had a mother named Mary, this town is named after a woman named Mary. >> Mary blunt. It was named after her. This is the name of G. Do you believe what we're here saying tonight? Are you >> boy? The devil hopes you don't believe it. The devil just hopes that you you you set idle while he just twists the minds of your children and he just scars them up and binds them up. He hopes you never buy into what was preached tonight to where you get some boldness to step out and say, "Not in this house right here. Not over my baby right here." I don't care how far our children go from God. We ought to step out and say, "Devil, I send an angel to them right now." That angel might have to stand beside a bar stool. That angel may have to be in a drug house, but God keep them keep them from dying lost. God, keep them from dying lost. You You know, you you just hear all kinds of things. You you really hear all I sat down. I won't tell you the I won't tell you the pastor's name, but he pastors a very large church in this city. And I sat down to lunch with him and we began to talk about what you he he he told me he said my wife told me said I can tell by the way you preach on Sunday you've been listening to that apostolic church down there >> cuz he got up and preached in his church. He said, "If water baptism is important, why is our baptistry storing paper towels and toilet paper and mops?" >> She told him, she said, "You you've been listening to apostolic people then." >> But we started talking and he started telling me, he said, he said, he said, "Bu Carpenter," he said, "what happened." He said, "When they were baptized in Jesus' name on the day of Pentecost," he said, "that was a punishment to them. It was a shameful stigma that God made them wear that they had crucified Messiah and and he said he said they had to wear said that was a stigma to the Jewish people and we sat in a Cracker Barrel. I'll tell you where was eating it. Set in the Cracker Barrel. And I said, "Well, okay. If we if we bought that, what do you what do you say about Acts chapter 10 when Cornelius got it?" And he had an explanation. He said, "Well, after that," he said, "After Acts 10 said, "Nobody was baptized in Jesus name after Acts 10." I just flipped over. I took his Bible, turned it around, flipped over to Acts 19. Paul having passed through the upper coast of Ephesus came and found certain John's disciples >> and said unto them, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believe?" >> They said, "We have not even heard whether there be any Holy Ghost." He said, "Well, how were you baptized?" They said, "Unto John." He said, "Well, that's the reason John barely baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him which should come after him." When they heard this, >> they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus >> and he laid his hands on them and the Holy Ghost came on them. Brother Nolan, Brother Nolan, so help me, my righteous God. That man put his glasses on, slid his own Bible back around, and he said, "Bo Carpenter, since I bapt since I graduated from Bible seminary, I mean seminary." Since I b since I graduated from Bible seminary, he said, "I have read the Bible through once a year." And I think it's about I think he said, "Uh uh, Sister Sullivan, I think he said it' been 20 years." He said, "I I've read my Bible through 20." And he said, "I'm telling you, I've never seen that. I've never I've never seen that before. Well, he you're right. He's seen it now. Folks, God has raised us up >> for the name of Jesus. Do what Brother Eric has said. Get a hold of somebody on your job. Get don't don't let just don't just don't let people just tell you they're suicidal. Don't let people just tell you, "I got a brother or a sister or a cousin." Just say, "Would you care if I just pray with you right now?" And and just pray. You don't have to make a scene. You don't have to kick the restaurant table over. You don't have to do anything. Just reach out and get their hand and pray. And I'm going to tell you, when God starts answering them prayers, they'll start coming to church with you >> and and they'll start getting the Holy Ghost and their lives will start being changed. >> And we've got one to baptize right now. Let's let's just erupt in praise right now. God, by the authority of the name of Jesus, by the authority of the word, the name of Jesus, we heard tonight, God, this person is being baptized in your name. There is sins are going to be washed away and there is a new vessel that's going to come forth with the promise of the gift of the Holy Ghost. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen.
