through the internet god i praise you this morning lord you have sent your word you have put a word in my mouth today and it would bring light to our pathway in the name of jesus we pray would you clap your hands in advance the book of exodus the book of exodus chapter 15 and verse 10 moses is giving a description of what god did at the red sea moses says in exodus 15 and 10 thou did blow with thy wind the sea covered them they sank as lead in the mighty waters who is like unto thee oh lord among the gods who is like thee glorious in holiness fearful in praises doing wonders thou stretched out thy right hand the earth swallowed them today in keeping a continuity of what we have been studying on midweek service i want to minister today on the holiness of god the holiness of god there are some christian circles where that word holiness is not a welcomed word but unto us we love holiness you may be seated in the name of the lord go ahead i heard a handclap offering starting you may be seated god bless you because god is holy god is unique and separate from all others let me say this from all other so called gods all of the so-called gods i read this the other day in one of my study books and for the life of me i cannot remember which book it is to give credit but it simply said holy is the way god is holy is the way god is to be holy he does not conform to a standard god is that standard god doesn't conform to a standard god is that standard god is absolutely holy with no limits incomprehensible fullness of purity that is incapable of being other than it is because god is holy his attributes are holy that is whatever we think of as belonging to god we must think of it through the thought of holy god is holy moses was trying to describe the miraculous splitting of the red sea moses is trying to put it in human words so that we can comprehend he said you blew with your wind and the sea covered them referring to pharaoh they sank as lead in the mighty waters then in verse 11 exodus 15 and 11. he stops for a moment and gives credit praise and glory to the one that caused it but he says who is like unto thee in other words who else could do this among the gods and again the so-called gods who is like thee moses says now follow this pattern because it is a pattern when he was going to describe the miraculous splitting of the red sea follow this pattern with me he says glorious in holiness in other words in other words you are separate and unique and there is not another like you you are glorious in holiness your holiness is unique it is separate there's none there is not there's not another like you glorious that word glorious means to call attention to we call attention to your holiness that's the first part but then he not only said glorious in holiness fearful in praises because when a man or a woman discovers the unique separate holiness of god it should inspire praises there should be when we understand there is no god like our god and what is his name there is no god like our god there is no other god and when you understand his uniqueness the separate god praise fearful and praises in other words praise ought to erupt do you know that adversary has done such a job at causing the word holiness that first thing people think of when they think of holiness they think of what they can't do that's fun they think of the word holy and they think of some some rule that they have to obey to be in the choir they think of some kind of some kind of of regulation that that restricts them can i tell you i'm going to turn the tables on old slew foot for a little bit today and cause you to see that when you really comprehend the holiness the separate the uniqueness none like him you won't help it just happen you won't help but to say praise god there'll be a praise but watch watch how it goes you first understand the holiness of god you break out in praise and then god does wonders you understand the holiness of god you break out in praise and then god begins to exercise his power in your life moses is trying to describe this he put it in human terms you stretched out thy right hand the earth swallowed them up it would be some time later when a woman by the name of hannah lived a barren life and lived a life of reproach she could never give her husband children but after prayer to this holy god in first samuel two and one hannah prayed and the bible says in first samuel two and one after she had produced a child by the hand of a holy god the bible said and hannah prayed and said my heart rejoiceth in the lord my horn is exalted in the lord that horn there means my power my power is exalted in the lord my mouth is enlarged over my enemies i want god to give me a mouth bigger than the devil i i won't i want i want god to give us a mouth you don't know what the devil's saying well you need to have a mouth bigger than his she said you have enlarged my mouth over my enemies because i rejoice in thy salvation watch what hannah does there is none holy as the lord now watch her she's just had god answer a prayer for her and she like moses wants to thank god for the deliverance and one of the first words she goes to is there is none holy as the lord there is none beside thee neither is there any rock like our god so she immediately begins to praise god for his uniqueness she begins to praise god because he's separate god has done for hannah and moses what no one else can do and they begin to praise his holiness you got to understand that god is holy and everything god uses and touches becomes holy isaiah 57 verse 15 look at this verse isaiah 57 15 for thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth eternity whose name is holy you know why jesus that name is holy because jesus is god that's why the bible referred to his holy name can i tell you there's not another name like the name of jesus when you walk on streets of gold you got there because neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name given among men under heaven whereby we must be saved i think we ought to just praise the name of jesus right now what a name whose name is holy psalms 99 verse number 9 psalms 99 verse 9. exalt the lord our god and worship at his holy heel it was just to heal until god showed up when god created the earth and created jerusalem the mountains of jerusalem they were just heels until god showed up and then it's not just the hill anymore it's a holy heal second chronicles chapter 30 verse number 27 let's kind of want to lay some verses out before i get to the meat of this thing ii chronicles 30 and verse number 27 then the priests the levites arose and blessed the people and their voice was heard and their prayer came up into his holy dwelling place even unto heaven why is heaven holy not because of streets of gold why is heaven holy not because of mansions heaven is holy and you know heaven is holy because that's where god is that's where god is just a few more verses psalms 5 and psalms 5 and verse 7 but as for me i will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy and in thy fear will i worship toward thy holy temple um we were recently in florida and uh we preached for a a a great church there um brother brother uh rowley and um it was amazing that just almost with within i shot of his church there's a buddhist temple there's a buddhist temple there and uh we we we it's a different looking building it's a different it doesn't look doesn't have a steep wall obviously it's it's a different looking building and uh it is a buddhist temple but it is not a buddhist holiness temple it's not a holy temple now they may call it holy but it's not a holy temple because god's not there because in order for god would be there there would have to be a a book there that happens to be called the huh it's not just a bible not just a bible it's a which means it's it's unique there's not another word like this there there's not another book like this i listened to i i listened to uh two ladies discussing the bible and the quran and and i pray for those that embrace the quran the quran i i pray for those to come to the revelation of jesus christ but they basically told the difference between the bible and the koran and that is they said the koran is a book of jihad of which they call holy war it's a book about war it's a book about taking over through war but the difference and they said it not me they said the difference between the bible and the quran is the bible is a book of peace taking over the world through peace because there's not another word like this word this word has created power in it just like in the very beginning when the spirit of god moved upon the face of the waters and too many people today become satisfied with god with god moving and not god speaking some people want god like an aspirin they want to come into the church and let god move on them and soothe their headache so that they can go back out and cope another week but god wants to do more in the beginning the spirit of god moved upon the face of the waters and god said let there be god's spirit moving is important to us here but as equally important is god speaking because it took more than just god's presence to create the earth it took god's spoken word there's not another book i just think somebody ought to praise him right now there's just not another book it's a holy temple isaiah 56 7 it's a holy mountain isaiah 66 and verse number 20. again it's a holy mountain psalms 24 verse number three it's again a holy heel john the revelator in revelation chapter 21 verse number 10 and he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city the holy jerusalem descending out of heaven from god revelation revelation 22 verse number 9 and if any man shall take away of the words of the book of this prophecy god shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city so we see whatever god touches god is holy in and of himself he is unique he is separate there is not another like him whatever god does becomes holy when god wants to give himself a name when god wants to give himself a name so that we can have redemption that name becomes holy when god so moves upon the prophets that they record and we have a book called the holy bible it's called the holy bible because god moved upon holy men so whatever god whatever god touches or whatever god uses becomes unique it becomes separate it becomes separate whatever god uses whatever god creates and whatever god uses and whatever god is allowed to use it becomes separate there's not another like it it becomes unique now i come to a turning point we understand nobody had a problem believing that god had a holy heal god told moses take off your shoes moses for the ground that you stand on is what holy holy grail why was it holy because god was there before that day was just another shrub bush out in the middle of the desert but when god showed up it became holy it became holy ground because god was there the book of ephesians chapter 2 and verse 15 excuse me chapter 2 verse 19 ephesians chapter 2 verse 19. listen to paul talking to the church now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of god he's talking to these gentiles and he's saying hey you're no more a foreigner you're no more a stranger through the gospel you have been brought in to the family the household the family of god which are built this household of god which are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets jesus christ himself being the chief cornerstone in whom all the buildings fitly framed together groweth now now he's he's using he's using the analogy of a building two befores flooring he's using it as putting a structure of a building together but it's really the members of the church coming in it's really people coming in and being converted through the gospel and he's liking it here's another board going in here's another here's another light being hung he says in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the lord no wonder we preach the baptism of the what kind of ghost it's a holy ghost it means it's separate it's unique there's not another one like it people trying to explain away tongues have said stuff like it's of the devil you know that's speaking in tongues of the devil and you you know if that would even be true and we know it's not it's the only thing that the devil ever gave me that made me want to go to church it's the only thing the devil ever gave me that made me want to love my enemies it was the only thing the devil ever made me that wanted me to change crowds or who i was running with well i'm being facetious this morning we know the devil didn't give you the holy ghost we know that god gives us the holy ghost and because god gives us something that is holy guess what the church becomes unique it becomes separate it becomes separate i heard yesterday just a little small clip of a is another denomination but they were discussing ways to win the world when ways to win the world and a young man said you know uh i just believe that in order to win the world we got to look like the world we got to be like the world and it was a panel discussion and i think it was an old white-headed bishop got up he cleared his throat three or four times and it got quiet in that room he said my good brethren he said the problem with the church is we went to preaching to the world accommodation and not transformation we're trying to accommodate a world you'll never save a world for being like the world because when god filled us with the holy ghost we became unique and separate and not another thing like it we are a city set on a hill there is a distinction there is something that makes the church different can i tell you today that the greatest goal for a child of god is holiness the top of your prayer list is god allow me help me in all my ways to be holy help me god in all my ways to be holy look at first peter chapter 1 verse number 13. first peter chapter 1 verse 13. i want to tell you something there's no way you can become holy until you can control your thoughts you got to have holy thoughts you want to be holy you got to have holy thoughts now watch what peter does because it has to do with the mind first peter 1 and 13. wherefore gird up the loins of your mind now now the loins of the loins in the imagery here is some a man who wanted to run and he didn't want to be encumbered he didn't want to trip over his garment he would take his garment up and tuck it in a sash or known as a girdle he gathered up loose ends he gathered up loose ends can i tell you one thing we need to do to understand holiness we need to gird up the loins of our mind we when we start talking about god and how to please him one thing we need to dismiss is i think well i'll tell you what i think it don't matter like at barber one time i want to discuss the bible and the preacher kept telling him you know well the bible says this and the bible said and he said no no no i don't hear what the bible says i want to hear what you got to say well it don't matter what i got to say it you know so so you got to understand when you when you go to perceive the holiness of god you got to you got to cut that word out of your vocabulary well i think because it don't matter what you think don't matter what i think matters what this you can think you can make a cake using sheetrock mud for frosting may look good i ain't eating it you can think whatever you want to think but it doesn't make it true gird up the loins of your mind see that gird up the loins of your mind be sober that means be serious about it i think something is i think something as important as holiness ought to be viewed through a serious mind be sober hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of jesus christ possess a spirit of expectancy have a spirit of of expectancy they sang a song years ago they sing a song years ago that that that i i really love this song it's an old fash it's an old time something good is going to happen today because jesus of nazareth is passing your way do you know that when you embrace holiness something good is going to happen to you you know when you gather up the loins of your mind and stop listening to what everybody says and what you even think and you start getting under the preaching and the teaching of the word of god do you know the spirit of expectancy i'm telling you something good is going to happen to my life i'm on the road to recovery i'm on the road to improvement i'm on the road to restoration i'm on the road to a blessing because something good now i'll tell you i'm gonna probably just be stuck in a teaching gear and and please come back tonight brother garnett's gonna be here and and i'm gonna tell you he'll suck that microphone down his left lung and we'll have church all right we'll we'll just have good church gird up the loins of your mind have a spirit of expectancy look at verse 14 as obedient children not fashioning not fashioning yourselves according to the former lust in your ignorance in other words you're now the church you're now the church stop acting like you did when you were ignorant better translation you know better now there's a lot of things i did in the world i didn't know any better and you too come on you too right as things i did in the world i just didn't know any better but thank god when the light of god's holy word and god's holy spirit and i got in a holy place with other holy people the light came on and i began to see how i ought to behave don't fashion yourself like the world don't fashion yourself like the world verse 15 but as he which hath called you is what he which have called you is holy so be ye holy in all manner of conversation because it is written be ye holy for i am holy if everything god touches becomes holy and we receive the holy ghost then holiness should not just be 25 of my life oh to have a holy talk i need to have holy thoughts my marriage should be holy my children should be holy my speech should be holy the entertainment should be holy everything about our lives should be looked at now you may not get there overnight it's going to take some work and let me say this again you know what the church really is it's an assembly line it's an assembly line and there's those that have been on this assembly line longer than others and then there's some precious people that just got on it last week to those of you that just got on last week please don't ever be discouraged when you look on the other side of the assembly line and see somebody they've just been on the potter's wheel longer than you they're not better than you you're not less than them we've just all on the same come on now you glad to be on the potter's wheel today everything about our life everything about our life becomes holy romans 12 and 2. excuse me romans 12 and 1 romans 12 and 1 somebody say praise the lord well i'm i've got to get to isaiah 6. i can't let you i i'm not going to scare you but i can't let you go till we get to isaiah 6. all right romans 12 1 i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of god that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service be not conformed to this world but be you transformed by the renewing of your watch where it starts by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of god please when you come to church and you see people acting different you see people talking different you see people dressing different don't listen to the devil he will try to tell you there think they're better than you and they're trying to earn their salvation by doing these works i'm not trying to earn my salvation no i'm living my salvation out what i'm doing i'm in love with god and god's in love with me and when i find out what god wants i'm going to give god what it wants why because it brings glory and honor to his name so whatever the holy book tells me to do i'm not going to take it before a board or a committee or the culture or the fashion i'm going to stand before god because listen to this now listen to this it is holiness somebody finish it for me it is holiness unto who it is separation it is uniqueness the church is holy it is separate it is unique not another one like it and it is holy say it with me now it is holy so instead of looking and letting the devil fill in the blanks that we do certain things to try to earn our salvation nonsense nonsense if we live a holy life in speech it's not to impress you it's holiness unto the lord i want my speech to talk about that i'm a child of god if it's something i wear or i don't wear i'm not doing it to condemn or try to be saved i am doing it as unto the lord my body is not mine i have been filled with the holy ghost my thoughts should be holy my actions should be holy can you say amen let me see if you listen to me holiness holiness is un say it again it sounds good unto the lord it's holiness un unto the lord so you you all really believe y'all you mean people really marched down here this morning and put ten percent of what they made last week man i don't understand that well you don't understand it until you study tithing and the bible says the tenth is uh no no no there's a word before the lord the tenth is holy unto the lord so when i was bringing my tenth this morning i wasn't doing it for you to see me out i wasn't i wasn't doing a phariseecal mindset it doesn't belong to me i breathe air all week long that i don't own i'm in a body that i didn't create there's a pump been going on for 61 years never stopped slowed down a little bit a few months ago but but it's never stopped i breathe air that doesn't belong to me i live in a house i grew by i live on an earth that don't belong to me oh thank you god unto the lord you couldn't have worked that job if your heart wasn't beaten and both times when both peter and paul tell us to be holy they put a caution paul says don't you fashion yourself after the world sounds like to me that the world is an enemy of holiness because the world has no tolerance for anything that's not like it now i'm gonna tell you something the world can tolerate a lot of things as long as you're not exclusively fixed on one thing that's why christians are facing and will face greater persecution until jesus comes because we don't preach jesus a way we preach jesus the way buddha can't save you muhammad can't save you no other no other so-called messiah can save you as a matter of fact do you know during the do you know during the tribulation what will run rampant on this earth false messiahs many will come in my name saying i'm christ do not follow them i'm glad today to be living on this side and to know the name that is above every other name it's a holy name paul said don't be conformed to the world peter said don't fashion yourselves after the world as a matter of fact they haven't got speaking in tongues off their breath until peter says oh yeah i know i told you to repent and i told you to be baptized and i told you the promise of the holy ghost is for you oh yeah by the way save yourselves from this untoward generation what does that mean untoward this means they're not going toward god i'm glad to be in a holy church today not holy based on our works but holy based on the one who dwells here he is a mighty god and some of you are thinking right now it's 20 after 11 get on to isaiah 6. isaiah 6 and 1 isaiah 6 and 1. in the year that king uzziah died i saw also the lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled the temple isaiah has went to the temple at a sad time isaiah has went to the temple at a very sad time you know sometimes joy brings us to the temple and sometimes heartache brings us to the temple i don't care why you're here today i don't care how your life's falling apart the devil will say well you just come to church because your life's falling apart can i tell you wonderful to have you today this is a good place to run to when your life falls apart it's a good place it's a good place in the year that king uzziah died i saw also the lord sitting up on the throne high and lifted up and his train filled the temple it's a sad way that uzziah's life ended usaiah had been brother hammond he had been a king for 52 years in israel 52 years in israel as a matter of fact all but 16 of those 52 years was extremely prosperous for uzziah he was an extremely prosperous bright brilliant mind but the last 16 years of his life second chronicles 26 15 just shares with us and uzziah made him engines invented by cunning men to be on the towers and on the boards to shoot arrows and great stones with all and his name spread far abroad he was marvelously marvelously and that word there means miraculously he was marvelously helped but look at the sad ending till he was strong but when he was strong his heart was lifted up to his destruction for he transgressed against the lord his god and went into the temple of the lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense you know what his problem was he got out of his place he's a king not a priest he got out of his place he got out of his place first john 2 and 15 says this love not the world love not the world neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the father but is of the world the world passeth away and the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of god abideth forever can i tell you you don't belong in the world you church are out of your place in the world we're out of our place being driven by the lust of our eyes the lust of our flesh and the pride of life we want to be recognized we want to be acknowledged for our accomplishments we we i i we we want to do this can i tell you you're out of your place the one that needs to be praised is god the one that needs to be applauded is god your your flesh your desire the living god young people that's the only thing that's lasting that's the only thing that's going to bring you joy you are out of your place in the world isaiah 16 years down the drain because you got out of church stay in your place stay in the church love the things that go on here love the singing love the preaching love the fellowship raise your family here get married here meet your mate here live the golden years of your life here have your funeral preached here you don't belong in the world second timothy 4 10 second timothy 4 10. for demas had forsaken me having loved this present world why did he forsake paul think about a mentorship brother brother hammond you think about somebody you would have loved to train under i don't know about you but i would have loved to have been trained with paul wouldn't have been awesome to have been trained with paul but you know something demons forsook paul what could have such a pull on demas that he would forsake paul what would forsake and i've often said this no one in their right mind leaves god after you have tasted of the wonderful plan of salvation and had your life so enlightened and been blessed had prayers answered been the recipients of healing and god making a way no one's in their right mind when they leave what could have such a pull on on demons what in the world could come along well i just said it didn't i demons have forsaken me having loved this what i mean talk about a miracle worker you're talking about you talk about paul but demas said he let the pool of the world get on him only luke is with me the next verse only luke is with me take mark and bring him with me for he is profitable to me for the ministry just real quick because i failed a check from the lord when i'm studying this that maybe a pastor friend may be watching this but it's amazing that we get our minds fixed on the demons that are leaving and not the john marks that are coming home we just want to see demas has left me people are going in the world but what about john mark that represents a prodigal that had work beside paul but got scared and left paul but somewhere gets restored somebody restores him and paul says yeah demas has left me but would you go ahead and bring john mark i'm ready to use him again in the ministry i'm going to tell you something i'm going to get my eyes off the demonses that are leaving and get them on the john marks that are coming through the door oh i'm not going to call any names today but in the last last year i've seen some wonderful prodigal men and women come back to the house of god and i'm watching them mature yes our demonses have left but our john marks are coming back to the house don't ever give up on anybody let me go on uzziah goes into the temple uzziah gets out of his place he tries to burn incense in the altar as a matter of fact follow this with me where isaiah is getting his vision is where usia got his leprosy at they're both in the temple why does one man get a commission and a call to be a prophet while the other man has the pronouncement of leprosy it's easy one's in his place and one's out of his place in your place you become a part of an eternal plan of god out of your place you're doomed with leprosy to die i wouldn't take a rocket scientist just to make the decision today i want to be in the right place usia stands there and the priests go in and try to talk him to come out he will not come out he bucks up on them he rebels at the word of god he has a bad he has a bad spirit toward the word of god as he stands there as he stands there leprosy pops out in his forehead we know that for the next 16 years of his life for the next 16 years of his life he lives within i eyeshot of the city that he built towers and bulwarks no one can come visit him because he is a leper it's amazing that in the temple sister carpenter in the temple isaiah hears these words holy holy holy while in the same temple priests say this to usiah leviticus 13 and verse 45 and the leper in whom is the plague his clothes shall be rent his head bare he shall put a covering upon his lip upper lip and shall cry unclean unclean look at the parallel here one man in his place has a revelation of a powerful god as a matter of fact isaiah said i saw the lord in the year that king uzziah died it was a bad thing it led me to the house of god i saw the lord seated on his throne notice god never sits in a chair you'll never find one place in the bible god's god where god sits is called a chair because a chair can be just a common chair but anytime god sets god sets it's a throne it's authority it's power he said i saw the lord sitting upon his throne you'll know how powerful he is his train filled the temple the temple was 30 wide by 90 feet long kings in the bible days every time they won a battle somebody sowed a little bit more material to the robe of their garment how the longer the robe was the longer the robe was the more powerful the king was you see you see a king coming down the road and his his robe is dragging the ground 10 feet you look and say man that's a powerful king right there but when isaiah got in the temple he got in the temple he said i got in a place i was in my right place and said let me tell you how powerful my god is his train filled the temple it was full of his power let me tell you something about my god today he is more powerful than your largest foe is he is more mighty than the thing that has you bound oh i love him oh i love him how great is our god how great is our god how great is our god you'll spend the rest of your life crying out unclean unclean he dies a leper he dies all he can say is two words unclean and clean but isaiah 6 and 2 a man is in his place he sees the lord high and lifted up and his train filled the temple and above it stood verse two the seraphims these are angelic beings each had had six wings with twain he covered his face with twain he covered his feet and with twain he did fly and one cried unto another and said holy holy holy is the lord of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory let me stop here for just a moment and tell you that the catholic definition of trinity that came from the trinity from the catholic church of god being through persons many books are written and they say the reason the angels the serpents cried holy holy holy was one holy for each person in the godhead but not so listen to scholars with me for a moment on this subject holy holy holy is the lord of hosts why do they repeat holy three times wasn't it simply enough to say holy the lord was holy once it wasn't enough in the hebrew language listen to this in the hebrew language intensity is communicated by just repeating over and over the more you repeat something the more it grows in intensity the more repetitive that you say it the more you repeat it means it grows within you in intensity to the scoffer may say how come you all say jesus jesus jesus so much don't you know he heard you the first time you you don't understand once is not enough the more i say that's why listen listen to people that have a walk with god when they say they just don't say glory they say glory glory glory we just don't say hallelujah we say hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah we don't just say jesus we say jesus jesus jesus why because the more we say it the more intense we become about our god holy holy holy oh oh praise the name of jesus holy holy holy i believe god would catch you today if you would say it with me holy holy holy glory to god glory to god glory to god jesus jesus jesus brother hammond work with this would you would you work with this when you get out of your place all you can say is unclean unclean twice but when you get in your place it's not a holy forever unclean it's a holy that caps it all off as a sinner just think about it think about it use i spent the rest of his life anybody get close to him oh you're coming close to me unclean unclean he told people he's a leper get away but oh if you'll stay in your place it's not people that'll run from you but if you'll stay in your place and cry holy holy holy they'll see a change in your life holy holy holy but to those that want to say that holy one holy is for each person separate then the bible has to interpret itself consistently if saying holy three times would mean there's a person forever holy then what was jeremiah talking about in jeremiah 22 and 29 because jeremiah cried out in jeremiah 22 29 o earth earth earth hear the word of the lord was there three earth he was talking to no he was just trying to tell them you need to listen to what is being said there is a power of holiness isaiah six and four our musicians would come i'm not trying to tell you what to sing but if you could sing how great is our god that would be my choice pray for brother cade this morning i said there's a power of holiness there's a power of holiness no wonder the devil fights it so much there's a power in holiness isaiah six and four they cried holy holy holy and the post of the door moved at the voice of him that cried watch this now why did the post move the post or the door why were they moved my fault my thought today is something bigger was coming in than the door allowed god wants to come in your life today to be bigger greater is he that is within but you got to have that door open and the only thing can open that door is being in your place and when they cried out holy holy holy says and the post of the door i'm not adding to this moved at the of the voice of them that cried what are they crying help me out why are they crying at the voice of holiness being cried out god said i'm going to enter but your door is not big enough for me but that's all right i'll i'll i'll push it back a little bit i'll push the door back the bible said the smoke smoke was filled with smoke why does it feel smoke because smoke is the byproduct of fire and our god is a consuming fire it's an amazing today i told somebody this my wife or somebody i told the other day we were talking about prayer it seems like the more i pray the more i pray the more i see how god's got a mighty work to do in my life the more i pray the more i see how far i really am from god it's amazing we never embrace our sin until we embrace his holiness that's why a lot of times there's not a lot of repentant going on because there's not a lot of holiness going on you see a picture of god's holiness reveals just how unholy we are the post of the door removed at the voice of him that cried and the house was full of smoke then said i woe is me for i am undone because i am a man of unclean lips and i dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips for my eyes have seen the king the lord of hosts can i tell you today if we would work on one thing in our lives i honestly believe about everything else would work itself out if we could just work on our mouths honey start the car i may need an escort out of here today all right security team take care of pastor you know it's the god's truth our tongues get us in more trouble our tongues talk us into more than we can talk ourself out of and when isaiah saw the lord he didn't say god you know this act i've done you know this is not no he got to the core issue he said woe is me i'm a man of unclean lips i dwell in a group of people of unclean lips mine eyes have seen the lord listen to this today the holiness of god causes me to see my sinfulness peter and i close with this peter let the lord use his boat he let the lord use his boat when the lord used peter's boat at the end the lord said peter launch out into the deep let down your nets for a draw to catch a fish peter said lord we have fished all night long and we have caught nothing nevertheless it's your word i will let down the net in luke 5 6 it says and when they had done this they enclosed a great multitude of fishes luke 5 6 and their net break they beckoned into the other partners which were with were in the other ship that they should come and help them and they came and filled both the ships so that they begin to sink man you talk about a wonderful work of god i have fished all night long some of you have been fishing all night long you've caught nothing but it's time to obey the word this morning he said lord you don't know i've tried this i've tried that bait i've tried minnows i've tried crawdads i've tried everything and they're not biting he said but nevertheless at your word i'll let down these nets and he threw them down and all of a sudden fish started swimming into the nets fish from all over started swimming in they pulled him in until their boat began to sink they called for another boat and another boat came and that boat began to see can i tell you today that god has got something that he can send your way wait a minute this miracle's not about the fish look at verse 8 when peter saw it he fell down at jesus knees saying depart from me for i am a sinful man o lord for he was astonished and all that were with him at the draught that was taken guess what peter said when peter saw there's no god like our god when peter saw the holiness of god a unique god a god that's able to call the fish peter backed up and said when i look at you when i look at you in light of me i want you to leave me because i am a sinful man but god is not in showing you how holy he is to condemn you he is showing you how holy he is so that you can see the error of your way and begin to follow him and let him change your life stand with me this morning hey ladies the coal up on the altar and on it goes how about it this morning you want to see god work today you don't see god work today are you
