Salvation At My House | Senior Pastor Kenneth Carpenter

turn with me in your Bibles to the Book of Luke Chapter 19 Verse number one we're going to read 10 verses and I believe that God has given me a special word for this morning and I believe it's not only going to impact this service but I believe it's going to impact I believe it's going to impact our lives for for some time to come Luke chap 19 and verse number one one and Jesus entered and passed through Jericho and behold there was a man named zachus which was the chief among the publicans and he was rich he sought to see Jesus who he was and could not for the Press because he was little of stature he ran before and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him for Jesus was to pass that way when Jesus came to the place he looked up and saw him and said unto him zachus make haste come down for today I must abide at thy house he made haste and came down and received him joyfully and when they saw it they all murmured saying that he was gone to be a guest with a man that is a sinner and zakus stood and said unto the Lord behold Lord the half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation I restore him fourfold and Jesus said unto him this day is salvation come to this house for as much as he also is a son of Abraham and listen to verse number 10 it's the whole reason for the season verse 10 I want you to glue if you have your Bibles glue your eyes on it if you if you're looking at the screen I want you to look at the screen this is the whole reing season for the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost for a few moments today I want to minister on this subject salvation at my house salvation was a lot of things you want at your house but you better pray to God salvation at my house father I love you this morning thank you God for your word I thank you God for these worshipers that have gathered together today to Worship You Lord Jesus I know that you're going to move through this crowd you're going to touch today there are Hearts here today that need to be encouraged there are Hearts here today God that need to be healed God there are people Lord and the sound of my voice whether in this Auditorium or watching on the worldwide web that God you want to move and you want to minister to God anoint my mind God help me to articulate Lord this word today I'll give you praise and I'll give you honor in Jesus name I pray amen and amen if you want salvation at your house give the Lord a hand clap of Praise right now hallelujah hallelujah salvation salvation at my house salvation at my house it's an interesting story here of this man called zachus this tax collector this wealthy Publican this wealthy tax collector this man whom the Bible says was rich this man that probably had every modern convenience that a rich man in that day would ever want for he probably wore the finest he probably ate at the finest places he probably lived in the finest of neighborhoods he absolutely zakus wanted for nothing he wanted for nothing but yet scripture reveals to us that zachus although he was wealthy zachus was still in empty there was still that hole in the heart of zachus regardless of how rich he was there was still that hole inside of his heart regardless of where he lived was still that hole of emptiness on the inside of this man called zachus that always haunted him he was never quite satisfied it didn't matter how much more money he made didn't matter how many uh more cattle or whatever is accumulation of wealth none of that mattered for zachus most likely was awake at night saying to himself there's got to be more to life than just money there's got to be more you see church this morning the way people live is a testimony that they are not satisfied you see the way people act is a testimony and it ought to encourage every preacher it ought to encourage every person that witnesses that this world is hungry and they are not satisfied zachus no doubt deep down in his Humanity he was yearning there's got to be something more to life then someday somebody told zachus about This Man Called Jesus somebody told zachus whether it was his miracles his teaching we don't know but they told Z zius about Jesus and the Bible simply says that zachus sought to see Jesus he sought to see who Jesus was but there's one problem with zachus he was born and his height was impeded the Bible say says he was short or small of stature well what he liked in his stature he made up with his brains for he did not allow his stature to Dear him of becoming a wealthy man although he may have been small in stature he overcame his hindrances he overcame his hindrance of being of small of stature he used his brain he became not just a tax collector but he C became the chief of the tax collectors he became a wealthy man and now he hears of this one called Jesus the Bible says that Z zakus in verse three sought to see Jesus who he was but he could not for the Press that's in verse three he could not for the crowd because he was of little stature he he couldn't see Jesus because every time that Jesus came by the press or the crowd was in front of him and there they would block his view of Jesus but oh what a desire zakus had to want to see Jesus you see if you don't know him you have never truly had your desire fulfilled if you don't know Jesus Christ you have truly never embraced your desire because once you meet him and once you know him and once you are filled with him the only thing you desire more brother Weidner is more and more and more and more of him can I get a witness today somebody say desire desire say it again please desire is it any wonder is it any wonder that one of the Old Testament scripture that describes the coming of Jesus Christ in hegi 27 says it this way and I will shake All Nations and the desire of all Nations shall come and I will fill this house with Glory sayeth the Lord of hosts that desire of all Nations was Jesus Christ you see we live in a world today that that's being torn apart by War we live in a world today we're living in a society today that's being torn apart by culture and it's all a testimony they are wanting that desire but it will never be found in just equality so to speak the only way man will ever be satisfied is when they open up and their hearts are filled with Jesus that that full desire that the hegi found that I found that interesting that HEI uses the word the desire of all Nations shall come speaking of Jesus zachus had a desire to see Jesus but he also had a hindrance or he also had an obstacle his hindrance was his height or lack thereof his desire was to see Jesus but his hindrance was in his lack of stature to look over the crowd let me tell you today just let me just tell you today everybody in this room has hindrances oh I wish I was brother Carpenter oh well listen you just have a different hindrance is all you'd have but you would have hindrances and so what we can do we can either let our hindrances handicap us and we sit around and say well I got money but I'm not tall enough to see Jesus well I've got this but this hindrance right here I'll never get that hindrances have never been have never or should ever be a roadblock they should be something that we use to get to our desired place there was a king many hundreds of years ago it's written as a true story but he placed a large Stone in front of the city gate and he only left enough room that you could squeeze a wagon around or you could squeeze through to get in the gate and he placed that stone there that stone was a hindrance of all the people that was entering the city the king stood by and watched as several people come by and they got tired of squeezing around the stone to get into the gate and some begin to rock begin to push the stone but the stone was very heavy and they would sweat for a while and and then they would give up then one day he noticed a poor farmer came by and that farmer looked at the Rock and left and went to the woods the farmer came back from the woods with with a large pole there he used the pole as leverage and there he leveraged and rolled the stone away but when he rolled the stone away the king had purposely placed a Pur Pur full of gold a purse full of wealth with a note to he that removes the hindrance receives the wealth today whatever your hindrance is I say in the name of Jesus let's remove every hindrance that we have and let's get to our desire there's not a mountain Too Tall that can keep you from him there's not a valley too low that can keep you from him there's not a river so wide that can keep you from him if you want to come to Jesus today there is nothing that can stand in your way would you give him a verbal praise a verbal praise right now I want to give us all I want to give us all a reality check today come on are you ready for a reality check reality all right I know we get to singing and the choir takes us into the third heavens and I know we talk in tongues and run the aisles I know all of that but can I give you a reality check you want a reality check here it is and I'd like to quote the prophet is Candace Owens here she goes l life is tough put on a helmet life is full of obstacles go to the woods and cut you a pole and remove that obstacle from your life don't allow yourself to be a victim if you want to see Jesus now pardon me pardon me for the personal EX for the personal um reference here today I'm 63 I want to enjoy life from here on out not that I haven't enjoyed it from here on out from from up to this point but time takes his toil on our bodies boy that was a loud amen from the youth group I I know that just came but there'll come a day when you can sit straight up out of a chair and then as time goes on you'll find yourself elbowing yourself up from the chair and then as time goes on you will find yourself and and my neighbor Wes is here today or or Trey is here today

don't believe that stuff written on the on on cards a marriage is like two wonderful Brooks from a mountain stream two different Brooks that form and make one wonderful stream boney more like it's more like two garbage trucks that have a head on collision come on now come on that's the truth no no no no it's F anything worth having is full of hindrances oh I wish I was like some of them business owners down there First Apostolic church I I I wish I was like some of these around here the company names on the side of them I wish I'd like some of these business owners you do if you only knew the hindrances that they go through you will never get anything in life without going through some hindrances but if you'll get strong in Jesus if you'll get strong in Jesus you hear me today if you get strong in Jesus I want to see Jesus I want want to see him I want to live for God I want to make it all the way home if that is your desire if that is your desire follow along in the message with me follow along in the message with me let's go to verse number four Luke Chapter Luke Chapter 19 Verse number four well hres in marriage can we say Amen to that again am H I need me one of them jobs oh I tell you I need me one I I brother car I'm going to quit my job I need me one of them jobs down there at the church I got written down here there's hindrances working with people in the church daycare School matter of fact unless you're going to be a Hermit you going to have to rub shoulders with hindrances it's true zakus give it up bud you got a desire to see Jesus but you're small of stature let's see what he does he was no dummy he ran before he ran before now I can add to this verse right here he got ahead of the crowd who was it keeping him from seeing Jesus could you tell me who was it you know sometimes in order for you to see him you got to unplug yourself from some people there's people of of of a negative spirit that that are always draining you you you you get around them you you don't need to have people that drain you you you need to have people that recharge you you you you don't need to be around people that when you leave you feel like you need a shower you need to you need to get around people that when you leave them you feel like you could go well hunting with a with a fork and a and a and a a jar of tartar sauce I mean you you I mean you go bear hunting with a switch I mean you you get around them and they just make you want to do that that's the people you need to run with and you might have to UNR you might have to outrun the crowd that's always telling you you can't do this and that'll never happen and this will never take place I'm sorry you're blocking my view I got to outrun you I got to get way down here now I'm going to show you a spiritual principle here I'm going to show you a spiritual principle here he ran before and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him for he was to pass that way when Jesus came to the place and looked and saw him he said unto him zachus make haste come down for today I must abide at that house now I got to tell you church is always a setup it's always a Divine setup Brother P every church service I've ever had in almost the 40 Years of pastoring have always whether it's Wednesday night Sunday morning Sunday night been a Divine setup what are you talking about I'm wanting the Lord to come through here for he is seeking that which is lost I submit to you that Jesus Christ God in flesh knew zachus had a desire to see him I submit to you that Jesus knew that zachus wanted to see him but that zachus had a hindrance but Jesus comes to where zakus is now just stay with me I want to show you a spiritual a spiritual principle he comes to where he is can I tell you that if you're wanting a life transformed by the power of God you have got to give God something to look at now just hold on to that you got to give God something to look at you can't say you have desire if you don't have the manifestation of that desire don't say you have desire if you don't have the manifestation of that desire it's true so zachus not only had a desire he had a manifestation what is that he ran ahead of the crowd climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see Jesus I submit to you that zakus gave Jesus something to look at now just just just follow me for a moment now I'm I'm going to come out of the Book of Luke I'm coming back there but I'm coming out for a moment I'm going to go to the Book of Mark chapter 6 verse number 48 I'll tell you this the scenery here the scenery is Jesus has sent the disciples across the sea a storm has rolled in and they are rowing they are toiling to keep the boat upright Jesus comes walking follow this Mark 6:48 and he saw them that's Jesus saw them tolling and Rowing for the wind was contrary unto them and about the Fourth Watch of the night Jesus cometh unto them walking on the sea but here's the part that doesn't make any sense and would have what what you your disciples are in a storm they're fighting for their life I get the part you come walking on the sea but that last part and would have passed him by that's exactly right they needed to give Jesus an outward manifestation of their desire to want to be saved and he would have passed them by I want to tell you something today you've already checked a couple boxes the Lord is looking for you in his house and when the Lord came walking through here this morning the Lord said uh-huh there they are I believe they've got a desire to have their life changed you see people don't come to a Pentecostal Church to be entertained people come to a Pentecostal Church to have their lives changed we don't have to ask when brand new guests walk through the back door what would you want with us I'll tell you what they're really saying I want to see Jesus that's why I'm here this morning I'm not here to be entertained I'm here because I'm miserable I'm here because I need a touch I'm here because I need to be delivered I'm here here because of that and would have passed him by but they cried out let me give you another verse of scripture to back this up Exodus chapter 3 verse number four God Appears in a burning bush God Appears in a in a in a bush that's burning but not burning the angel of the Lord appears there for what purpose to give Moses the plan of Deliverance Moses is a Shepherd he's out there keeping his father-in-law's sheep and Moses comes up and sees the bush that's burning but not consumed and the Bible says look at Exodus 3 and verse4 and when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see God called unto him out of the midst of the Bush and said Moses Moses and he said here am I now you you you may think today I'm making too much of this but God here's Moses here's his sheep he looks over and sees the bush all right it's burning but it's not burning it's not being consumed he sees it God why didn't you just start right there by saying Moses Moses I got a plan for you you're going down to Egypt why does it have to say that when God saw Moses turned aside oh I'm keeping sheep over here I'm over here grazing with these sheep I see the bush God why don't you go ahead and call me because God wanted to see if Moses would give him something that would say I I am curious about this so much that I'll alter what I'm doing and I'll begin to turn this way and when he turned that way God said you just gave me what I wanted I wanted to see something can I tell you church this morning some of you are in need of a touch from God and all that's between you and that touch from God is for you to give God some kind of worship some kind of Praise some kind of Faith some kind of just reaching out to him you you check the box you're here and that's good but he wants to take you to the next level do you really want to be delivered do you really want to be set free do you really believe that I'm able to do exceedingly abundantly above all do you really believe it come on give him some praise right now I believe it we're going to make it we're we're going to make it God is on our side zachus let's go back to Luke now zakus come on down from that tree for today I'm going to abide at your house verse six and he made haste and came down and received him joyfully and when they saw it you see they they you you you'll always have they catching up with you you're always going to battle listen you're always going to battle people that are doing one of two things one of two things they're either dragging up your past or they're telling you what you can't do in the future one or two people they either want to drag up your past or they just want to tell you you can't do that oh that that you you you couldn't do that you you you can't do that and you know what now it's a whole lot different because I've already embraced the Lord Jesus and when they saw it they all murmured saying this man is gone to be a guest with the man that is a sinner zakus stood and said unto him Lord behold Lord the half of my goods I give to the poor and if I've taken anything from any man by false accusation I'll restore him fourfold now here follow this closely because when God forgives us of our sins that's the first step in a in in in having your life totally changed listen to what he says Jesus said said unto him this day is salvation come to this man this man well it should say this man right uhuh because once God gets the light turned on in you he wants you to claim your house in the name of Jesus every brother every sister every mother every father every cousin every Uncle everybody in your family tree needs to be affected by the god that's on the inside of you come on let's drive out drug addiction come on

seated the preacher the pastor of which I will I will refrain from using his name lest anyone think he was not sensitive but he told about a woman that he pastured she never came to the prayer room she never even much lifted her voice up above a whisper this woman had a son that was lost that son had a terrible accident that took his life that Pastor said at the funeral at the funeral I could could not get through my message for the Wailing of that mother wailing wailing my boy my boy now please this pastor is not being insensitive but he simply said I wonder if she'd have take taken that same cry for years and got in the prayer room God save my boy if things wouldn't be different can I tell you I am not going to wait until my loved one is on life support to get desperate with God God I'm going to show you something this Sunday morning I want my family saved I want my family save God they can't be lost brother Holland they can't be lost by the Hinds I want my family one more time

about the goodness of God there'll be no lady walking in with a difference of her apparel there'll be no man walking in talking about the name of Jesus Christ there'll be nobody there to invite them to a service there'll be nobody there to offer them a home Bible study if you're the only one in your family fight fight fight fight fight fight fight oh I'm preaching to you this morning morning fight fight fight fight fight keep it in keep it going salvation has come to your house turn with me to Acts chapter 16 verse number 14 what a hindrance what a hindrance what is the hindrance here they don't have a church what is the hindrance in Acts 16 verse 14 they don't have a church the Bible says a certain woman named Lydia a seller of purple of the city of fatara which worshiped God heard us one woman everybody say one woman say it again one woman which worshiped God God heard us whose heart the Lord opened that she attended unto the things which were spoken by Paul follow it closely and verse 15 and when she was baptized and her it's just not you when Lydia over ch the obstacle we don't have a church but we can pray we don't have a church but we can pray strange man showed up by the name of Paul be to preach to her the Plan of Salvation she opened her heart repented was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost but not just her look at verse 15 again and when she was baptized and say it with me please her household she besought us saying if you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord come into my house and abide there she constrained us it's not just you zachus it's not just you zachus it's your house that salvation has come it's not just you Lydia it's not just you Lydia oh time would fail me to begin to talk about different ones in this congregation that when you started serving God you were the only one but now the church is sprinkled with family members salvation has come to my house let's flip on musicians would you come let's flip on over Acts chapter 16 again in verse 22 is a different reading multitudes talking about hindrances acts 16:22 and the multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates rent off their clothes and commanded to beat them this is Paul and Silas and when they had laid many stripes upon them they cast them into prison charging the Jailer to keep them safely let me stop there for a moment God never promised you nor I that we would not be persecuted well it's a hindrance that it may be that it may be but are we going to allow persecution to stop us or grow us are we going to allow it to stop us are we going to give up on God think about Paul and Silas sister Mr Martin think about him for a moment out there preaching the gospel give up Lifestyles and preaching the gospel the next thing you know they're arrested they're lied on and they ripped their clothes off their backs and they whipped them they cut into their backs with whips and they cast them into the prison the Jailer took them and the Bible uses the word thrust that could possibly mean he took his foot and shoved them into the prison what you going to do Paul and Silas you know Paul if you think if there was really a god that he would have allowed this to happen to us Silas you you you think that maybe God's paying me back you think maybe God's paying me back for some of those people I killed before I got saved you you think God is getting me back I won't preach to somebody today stop allowing the enemy when you go through trials to try to tell you that your holy loving kind gentle merciful god is paying you back where we're in the church not the mafia we're in the body of Christ not some kind of rigid you ought to rebuke that right now you ought to rebuke that right now I'm not getting paid back this is just part of life this is just part of the hindrance but I'm going to make something out of it may be seated just for a moment I'm sorry I'm preaching so long today Paul you think God's getting back at us silence you you think there even is God I mean after all we've been doing for him and here we are no sister McKenzie no no but the Bible says at midnight verse 25 at midnight I wish somebody shout at midnight wish somebody help me this morning I wish you'd shout at midnight at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang Praises unto God and the prisoners heard them God said that's what I've been waiting on I've been waiting on somebody to set me up a stage I've been waiting on somebody in this prison to set me up a stage what in the world is going on down and what in the world's going on and said but I mean you had you had rut I mean rot gut sinner men that were in there what in the world's going on Praise Him Glory Glory Glory Glory Glory Glory Glory Glory Glory Glory hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus thank you what in the world that's him two preachers they thr in here that's them two preacher well listen at them they're not only praying but they're singing praises unto God I'm going to tell you something Elvis Presley was not the first Jailhouse Rock God was because after two men got over the hindrances after two men said we're not going to shut up God said I'm

foundation of the of the of the prison I'm going to I'm going to loose the the hinges on the doors I'm going to go through the walls come out the chains and break the chains on the wrist I I'm going to set them all free the Bible said suddenly there was a great earthquake stay with me in verse 26 now suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken and immediately all the doors were open and everyone's bands were loosed the keeper that's the same guy that kicked them The Keeper of the prison Awakening out of his sleep seeing the prison doors open Drew out his sword and would have killed himself supposing that the prisoners had fled law that day if you're if you're an officer and you let a prisoner go you pay for it with your life the keeper woke up saw the prison doors open got out a sword and was about to kill himself verse 27 supposing the prisoners had fled but listen to this but Paul cried cried with a loud voice saying do thyself no harm for we are all here then the Jailer called for a light and sprang in and came trembling fell down before Paul and Silas and brought them out and said s what must I do to be saved they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and am I done with verse 31 and and thou shalt be saved Jailer believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved am I done with it am am I done with it am I done with it and thy verse 32 and they spake unto him the word of the Lord Brother snitzer that's a midnight Bible study and they spake unto him the word of the Lord and to come
