Tri State District Campmeeting

when we open our bibles we should say to ourselves here and now god is about to speak to us and that's not because this is the preacher who's preaching tonight whether it's your pastor on a wednesday night or in your private devotion time on monday morning or thursday afternoon or whether it's at a camp meeting or a conference when we open this book we should say to ourselves god is about to speak to us in the book of haggai chapter 2 haggai chapter 2 verse number 9 haggai chapter 2 verse number 9 [Music] the glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former saith the lord of hosts and in this place will i give peace saith the lord of hosts the glory of this latter house shall be greater then we could say the glory of the former house i want you to look at your neighbor and say to them your best days are ahead of you not behind you hallelujah set your bible down one more time would you lift your hands and your voices lord jesus speak to us from your word as we open this book this holy word there is power that is released from its pages as we open our hearts and minds to receive it there is a power to transform us let it be so in this place tonight in the name of jesus in the name of jesus in the name of jesus the glory of the latter house god bless you you may be seated biblical prophecy often speaks many messages to many different audiences but we must keep in mind that while prophecy has many layers of truth its first message is the message that it was spoken to on the day it was first spoken and to the audience that it was first delivered that is the case with this undoubtedly most famous prophecy of haggai it has great significance to many people it has great significance to the church especially the last days church of which we are apart and we will get to that in a few moments but keep in mind that first of all it meant something to the people that haggai spoke to around 515 bc as he stood in the newly rebuilt temple of zerubbabel he declared this house shall be greater than the glory of the first house haggai was speaking to a small group of exiles led by a man named zerubbabel who had recently been released by the new persian king cyrus and allowed to return to jerusalem to rebuild the temple that the babylonians had utterly destroyed 70 years prior after the persians conquered the babylonians the new king cyrus of persia allowed zerubbabel to take a group of jews back to jerusalem to rebuild the temple and so zerubbabel and his workers they lay a new foundation with a new floor with new walls because the temple of solomon had been utterly destroyed by the babylonians nothing was left of it and they complete the construction of this second or rebuilt temple and dedicate it to the lord at the dedication of this second temple or zerubbabel's temple there were some mixed feelings among the people about what was taking place in fact some ezra tells us were rejoicing while others were weeping there were older jews present at the dedication that were weeping why because they were old enough to remember the former house they were old enough they were alive before the captivity of babylon and they had seen with their own eyes the glory and the splendor of solomon's temple and so they are weeping why because solomon's temple was the most glorious extravagant and magnificent structure that had ever been created it was built with great stones and cedar beams and boards that were overlaid with pure gold to build it solomon employed 30 000 israelites 150 000 canaanites and renowned artists and masons goldsmiths skilled craftsmen from phoenicia entire the cost of solomon's temple in present-day dollars is estimated to be as much as six billion dollars it was so magnificent that when the queen of sheba traveled from ethiopia to see it for herself she remarked the half has not been told when she saw the glory of solomon's temple she fainted she said i have never seen anything like this before solomon's temple was unlike anything the world had ever seen and when the jews at the dedication of zerubbabel's second house rebuilt temple when they looked around they began to weep because they had seen the glory of solomon's temple and when they see zerubbabel's temple there is disappointment among them when they see zerubbabel's temple they remark i'm grateful zerubbable for what you have done uh but this temple is nothing like the first temple it's nothing as glorious as solomon's temple we were there and we appreciate what you and these men are doing solomon's temple had housed the ark of the covenant but it was no longer in israel's possession at the dedication of solomon's temple the altar had been lit with a fire and power of god from heaven the shekinah glory had filled the temple but the attendees at zerubbabel's dedication they witnessed no such miracles and it is in this setting that haggai stands in that rebuilt temple with the prophecy from god he says i want to declare something to you those that are weeping and those that are rejoicing i want to tell you i have heard from god and here is what the lord says the glory of this latter house will surpass the glory of the former house what exactly did god mean for no queen of ethiopia would ever come to zerubbabel's temple see its splendor and faint at its beauty zerubbabel's temple did not take six billion dollars to build it was constructed by poor exiles with whatever materials they could round up so just how exactly would the glory of this latter temple of zerubbabel ever eclipse or surpass the glory of solomon's temple now you might think being the bible scholar and historian that you are well pastor in 37 bc you know that herod rebuilt zerubbabel's temple maybe that's how the prophecy of haggai is fulfilled but no that cannot be herod did not fulfill haggai's prophecy god never honored herod nor his temple herod was to god an illegitimate king according to the law he was illegitimate read numbers 3 read genesis where jacob declared the scepter shall not depart from judah you know that herod was a descendant of levi and according to the law levites were not permitted to be kings neither kings to be levites the law hallelujah did not permit a royal priest do you know why because god was reserving the royal priesthood for only one group of people the church of the living god who would be both kings and priests herod may have given the second temple a face lift but he never rebuilt the foundation and he never laid new floors and even with herod's overhaul of the temple those improvements never caused that house to exceed the glory of the first house so how exactly was the prophecy of haggai fulfilled how did this meager temple of zerubbabel exceed the first glory of solomon's temple when tell me tonight when did the glory of the latter house exceed the glory of the former house it happened five centuries after haggai spoke this prophecy haggai's word was fulfilled 515 years later when a young couple from nazareth brought their six-week old baby to the temple to present him to the lord at the very moment that their child was carried across the threshold of the temple the glory of the latter house exceeded the glory of the former house when mary and joseph brought the christ child into the temple the glory of that temple at that very moment exceeded the glory and the splendor of the former house of solomon's temple all the gold all the splendor all the grander of solomon's temple it paled in comparison when jesus entered the temple hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah you see christ was the glory of the temple and when mary and joseph brought jesus to the temple in that instant the glory of the latter house was greater than the glory of the former house in solomon's temple in the former house there was wood overlaid with gold but in the latter house in zerubbabel's temple that day it was not wood overlaid with gold rather it was humanity overlaid with divinity god manifest in the flesh the glory of this latter house will be greater than the glory of the former in solomon's temple there was an ark of the covenant the very symbol of the power and presence of god but in zerubbabel's temple there was something greater than the ark of the covenant god himself stepped into that house and the glory of the latter house became greater than the glory of the former in solomon's temple in solomon's temple in the former house there were 220 000 oxen 120 000 sheep offered as a sacrifice at solomon's dedication oh but in the latter house the lamb of god who had come to save the sins of mankind the lamb the lamb slain from the foundation of the world stepped in to zerubbabel's temple and in that very moment the glory of the second house exceeded the glory of the first at solomon's temple god sent his presence has fire on the altar but in the latter house god didn't send his presence he sent his person god himself robed in flesh stepped out of eternity and into this world and walked into that temple jesus jesus jesus he is the glory of the temple that day when mary's sendled feet touched the floor of the temple carrying the christ child at that moment the prophecy of haggai was fulfilled and the glory of the latter house exceeded the glory of the former when mary and joseph took their 12 year old boy at passover up to the temple and he walks in and sits down among the pharisees and the doctors of the law and the scribes and they are confounded and his wisdom and they are confounded and amazed at the questions he asked and the answers he gives the glory of the second temple exceeded the glory of the first temple when jesus walked into the house and he kicked over the tables and he drove the money changers out and said my house shall be called a house of prayer the glory of the latter house exceeded the glory of the former because jesus is the glory of the house because the glory of a house is not what is in it but who the glory of the house is not what is in it the glory of a house is who who solomon's temple was a magnificent edifice but john said this and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory kind of sheds new light on what jesus said when he said a greater than solomon is here [Applause] i think we ought to just worship jesus in this place a moment today [Applause] the glory of the latter house hallelujah the glory it's not about what's in it it's about who's in it [Applause] you may say well this is all interesting pastor but uh what does this have to do with me i'm glad you asked i'm glad you asked because you see the glory of any house is jesus the glory oh we're going somewhere tonight i promise you the glory of any house is jesus what made the latter house greater was jesus stepped into it and jesus is the glory of any house what that means is you can build what you think is an impressive house you can build an impressive life you can have money in the bank a prestigious job or power or position in this world but it is not until jesus steps into your household it is not until jesus steps into your house that it is truly a glorious house there is something far more glorious than silver and gold and precious stone there is something far more glorious all than fame and fortune and power and that is the lord jesus christ when he comes into your house when he comes into your life the glory of your life with him exceeds the glory of your life before you had him i'm not impressed by what you have i'm impressed by who you are i'm not impressed by what you have i'm impressed by who you have [Music] hallelujah when jesus steps into it when jesus comes in to the house [Applause] that's what makes a life glorious do you feel him in this place tonight do you feel the lord let me tell you when he walks into the room everything changes when he walks into the room sickness is healed when he walks into the room darkness flees when he walks into the room jesus is the glory of the house the beauty of biblical prophecy is that it has many layers of truth or of meaning it was in that day in 515 bc it was a messianic prophecy to the people that were there at that dedication telling them one day one day the glory of this house is going to be greater than the glory of solomon's house one day that was speaking of jesus because jesus is what makes a house glorious but what does that speak to the church what makes a church glorious it is not the physical building it is not the architecture it is not the gold and the silver and the tapestries and impressive spires it is jesus in the place that makes it glorious it is the presence of jesus that makes a church glorious it's not what is in it it is who is in it i recently stood in st peter's basilica in rome at the vatican to the natural eye to the natural man it was incredibly impressive massive glorious resplendent its architecture surpasses most buildings throughout the world its sheer size is overwhelming what you may not know having just as you're flipping through the stations on christmas eve and see christmas eve mass at st peter's basilica and you pause there just long enough to see what's going on and you look and you see that that wooden structure in the middle and on the television said it looks like it might be 10 or 15 feet tall did you know that that that that wooden structure in the middle of that atrium of saint peter's basilica is over three stories tall the intricate detail of the masonry of the woodwork the sculptures the tapestries the paintings it is truly breathtaking the nearby smaller yet no less impressive sistine chapel is a testament to the skill and to the artistry of man it is considered one of the major artistic accomplishments of human civilization michelangelo spent four years with a team of artists painting the ceiling of the sistine chapel we walked into the sistine chapel and there were signs everywhere that said no pictures allowed let me tell you i broke the vatican law that day i said i'm not flying all the way to rome and waiting in line to get into this place and not taking pictures and so i stealthily took my uh my iphone and i held it down low and i turned the video on and i held it like this and i walked through the sistine chapel with my iphone pointed at the ceiling so i could get some video footage of the top of that impressive cathedral from a human perspective these temples are glorious but let me tell you what else tonight i have stood i have stood inside of our meager aljc sanctuary brother erickson in papua new guinea with a dirt floor and straw placed on the ground to minimize the dust and the mud from getting on your feet a sanctuary with a frame made of crooked wooden poles covered on the top with banana leaves woven together i think now it's been upgraded to a roof of sheets of kin metal it didn't even have chairs and i've sat and i've stood and i've shouted with a thousand barefoot aboriginal natives of papua new guinea who was set on the floor hour after hour listen for a light for a light there used to be a single strand of wire running from the front to the back and every 15 or 20 feet there was a socket with a 75 watt light bulb screwed into it i think the barnetts and marshalls now have upgraded to some fluorescent light but i can testify to you that the glory of a house is not what is in it but the glory the glory missionary name is not what's in the house but it's who is in the house i can testify to you that in that meager building oh in that in that remote region of papua new guinea i can tell you that the glory of that place exceeded the glory of the sistine chapel it exceeded the glory of the vatican it exceeded the glory hallelujah because the glory of the church is not determined by its gold by its silver by its architecture by its stunning natural beauty the glory of the house is determined by who is in it i want to tell you jesus christ himself walked into that brush arbor in papua new guinea that night [Applause] in the name of jesus in the name of jesus you can't hear it but there's about a thousand people from papua new guinea that are crying out to god 95 people in a matter of moments we're baptized in the holy ghost the glory of that house was greater than the glory of the sistine chapel the glory of that house was greater than in a structure of man because jesus is the glory of any house i felt no presence of god in saint peter's basilica i felt no presence of i felt no holy ghost in the sistine chapel oh but when jesus walked into that room [Music] [Applause] i have stood in haiti underneath trees with a tarp tied at one end on a tree branch and stretched across this way on a pole and tied over here somewhere on the side of a block wall to give us just a little bit of shelter brother mamie from from the rain and from the oppressive heat but i tell you what i've stood under those trees and felt jesus walk into that place and in that moment that makeshift shelter was more glorious than the taj mahal oh hallelujah because the glory of a house is not about what is in it but who is in it if it were about gold if it were about silver if it were about impressive architecture then nothing would have surpassed the glory of solomon's temple but haggai declared as hard as it is for you to see it the glory of this meager temple of zerubbabel is going to exceed the glory of the first house because jesus is going to step into this place what does that tell us tonight if jesus if jesus is not in this place then what are we doing if jesus is not in this place tell me what are we even doing here it's not about what's in the house it's about who is in the house if jesus doesn't walk in this room we might as well well go home because when he comes into the room everything changes it's all about jesus it's not about pastor paul it's all about jesus it's not even and i say this with the utmost respect it's not even about bishop mccool it's about jesus it's not about mark mccool or kenneth carpenter it's about jesus oh jesus is the glory of the house that's what makes the church glorious is that jesus is among us that's what makes a church glorious his presence feels what difference does the decor make if jesus isn't here [Applause] i thank god for this beautiful building that we are blessed to have campaigned in this week comfortable pews lights musical instruments air conditioning in summer and heat in the winter but what makes this place glorious is jesus what makes your church glorious is jesus we are standing on holy ground and i know i know brother atkins there are angels all around let us praise jesus now what makes ground holy is jesus is there listen if our churches don't have a reverence and a hunger for and a desire for the presence of jesus that church is going to become an empty cathedral powerless to change anybody's life it is all about him this is his house and if he is not here pardon my bad english it ain't glorious i thank god for great music i thank god oh you ought to thank god for all that if you don't appreciate what you have in your church you need to come with me a few places you'll thank god you'll thank god for all of that i thank god for great music my lord have we heard singing this week i thank god for great talent but none of that is a substitute for the power of god none of that is a substitute for the presence of god i don't care how good you can sing i don't care what kind of note you can hit i don't care how good you are on that instrument i don't care if you can make that guitar whine and sing if jesus is not in the house what difference does it make none of that is a substitute for the presence of god if i had to choose i had to choose between the world's greatest musicians and singers without jesus or an out of tune piano tone deaf song leader and singers who can't carry a tune in the bucket with jesus that is a no-brainer without hesitation i'll tell you my choice now i believe brother mccool we can have skilled musicians and beautiful singers and articulate gifted preachers those who understand that all of my human talent and all of my human ability it means nothing if jesus is not in the house the lights mean nothing if jesus isn't in the house the music means nothing if jesus isn't in the house it's all about him all my human talent all my human ability is no substitute would you lift your hands and shout jesus come in this place jesus it's all about you jesus we've got to have you i wonder if every pastor in this room right now would throw your hands up in the air and say oh god my church has got to be a place of your presence god we've got to have your power and your spirit and your glory moving in our congregation our church buildings mean nothing without you our talent and ability means nothing without you we must have you jesus don't stop yet our little our little routine and our schedule how we got it all figured out who's going to say what and when that's all good to be organized but it means nothing if jesus is not in the house so if jesus walks in this place and says matthew sit down and shut up i'm about to do somehow set the mic down because it's not about me and it's not about you that's not what makes this glorious that's not what makes this camp meeting glorious it's not about which choir is saying it's not about who did the preaching it's not about who's on the drums it's not about any of that it's about his jesus in this place because if jesus is not in this place we might as well all go home jesus we worship you jesus we worship you we worship you when you walk in the room everything changes when you walk in the room everything changes [Applause] hallelujah [Applause] but but there is there is yet another message this prophecy speaks it's a pattern this prophecy speaks to us of a heavenly pattern a pattern of heavenly things israel knew the acts of god but moses knew the ways of god god is trying to show us something about his ways and i believe a pattern we find in this story in this prophecy of haggai i believe that pattern is encapsulated in solomon's own words in ecclesiastes 7 when he said better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof you see whatever god touches he improves whatever god puts his hand on it is better than it was before he put his hand it's a pattern it's a principle we see it from the very beginning the first day god saw that it was good the second day he saw that it was good by the time we get to the sixth day and he created man the bible said god saw that it was very good because with god everything just keeps getting better and better with god the first temple was glorious but the second temple is more glorious the first covenant is good but the second covenant is better based on what better promises a better covenant with better promises the first covenant left man with a heart of stone but the second covenant god gives a heart of flesh the first covenant the law was written on tablets of stone but god said i'm going to improve that i'm going to write my law upon their hearts it's a pattern god just keeps improving things the first man adam was of the earth earthy the second man adam was christ the lord of glory of heaven everything with god just goes from glory to glory to glory from better to better to better think about the parables of christ first the blade then the ear then the full corn in the ear god said my kingdom is like a grain of mustard seed it's small but it's not going to stay small because everything i touch it gets better everything i touch it grows oh my god everything i touch it improves everything i touch just gets better that's why in the first covenant there were bulls and goats but it could not eradicate sin but the second covenant the lamb of god so now we can say though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as full though they be red like crimson they shall be white as snow as you progress in god his glory magnifies the glory of the latter house is going to be greater than the glory of the former house see with god we just keep going from glory to glory to glory [Applause] now with the devil it's not that way everything the enemy touches it degrades it descends it deteriorates but with god the glory of a ladder thing is greater than the glory of a former thing better solomon said is the end of the thing than the beginning thereof jesus said fairly verily i say unto you he that believeth on me the works that i do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do because i go unto the father greater works what is he talking about in the first covenant god's presence dwelt in a physical temple but jesus said something greater is coming now i'm with you now but i shall be in you your body is going to become the temple of the holy ghost that's an improvement that's greater glory that's moving from glory to glory at pentecost the spirit dwelt in men and now jesus said greater works are you gonna do because i've ascended and sent back my holy spirit not greater in quality how do you get any better than raising the dead how do you get any better than walking on water he wasn't saying greater quality wise he was saying greater quantity wise because now the power of god was not just working through the man christ jesus limited to the body of god but now his power and his presence is in his church i'm talking about the glory that is greater i'm talking about going from glory to glory it's a pattern it's a pattern everything just keeps getting better with him [Applause] that is why that is why i believe i believe brother naomi i believe that the greatest the greatest revival of the church age is yet to come [Applause] and that's why i believe that the last days church will be the greatest church ever in history because with god the glory of the latter always exceeds the glory of the former if you think that the most glorious days of the kingdom are behind us and not before us then you are failing to observe the heavenly pattern if you think that the glory of the early church was the pinnacle and the last church will be a meager barely surviving church then you are mistaken if you think the strides made at the beginning of the race we're the greatest then you are failing to understand the strides that the church will make as we near the finish line if we think that god started his church in acts as a glorious powerful force that changed the world but somehow in the end the church will be a weak decrepit meager spiritual force we are failing to understand a principle that is established throughout the word of god with god the glory of the latter is always eclipsing the glory of the former jesus said i will build my church and the gates of hell shall not shall not prevail against it if if you think that the bride of christ was glorious and beautiful when she was born at pentecost but will be weak and ugly and barely alive and hanging on by a thread just before the wedding supper you have failed to discern the ways of god paul said he will present it to himself a glorious church without spot without wrinkle without blemish then it should be holy and without blemish if you think the revivals of azusa street or the revivals of the 50s and 60s were as good as it gets then you are mistaken in your understanding of eschatology haggai's prophecy was not only talking about zerubbabel's temple his prophecy was not only talking about when jesus would step into that place haggai is talking about the church he's talking about the last days church and he's reminding every pastor and reminding every saint of god that our greatest days are ahead of us and not behind us listen to me pastor well now brother ball i hate to rain on your parade but you know last days evil men seducers they're gonna wax worse and worse oh it's bad out there brother ball oh brother paul we're just we're just barely hanging on you know because the bible said no i just tased it and men's hearts are going to fail them and and many are going to deny the faith and if god didn't come back for the elect sacred is there going to be anybody left by the time jesus comes back because friend you have you failed to read your bible from genesis to revelation do you really think in the last days what the devil is doing is going to eclipse what god is doing do you really think that in the la i know there's going to be a falling away but i'm here to declare there will be many who will fall away but simultaneous with a falling away and a deception of many there is going to be a revival of the name of jesus there's going to be a revival of the name of jesus there's going to be a revival listen to me you're the greatest days of your church are not in the past the greatest days of your church are not in the past they are in the future i know i know evil men and seducers are going to wax worse and worse but what hell is doing will not trump what god is doing the angels cried holy holy holy the whole earth is full of his glory the earth will be filled with the glory of the lord the earth will be filled i've come to speak a word of faith to a pastor get your chin up you need to stand up and prophesy revival you need to stand up and say i refuse god didn't die and leave the devil in charge i want to tell you who's in charge of things it is the lord it is not the devil i tell you who was in charge in these last days it is heaven not hell it is god not the united nations it is god not the white house it is god not the cdc it is god not the w.a show it is god not corona virus it is god not an immigration officer god is the one who is in control listen to me pastor if you're not careful if you're not somebody better i'll preach all night if somebody doesn't come up here start playing that lets me know it's time to start winding it down i wish i had somebody on a b3 up there i'd be killing myself right about now but it's not about the instrument it's about who's in the house so b3 our electronic keyboard doesn't matter if geo hallelujah doesn't matter if jesus is in the house doesn't matter let me tell you if you're not careful pastor i say this with utmost respect and i say this from a man that has struggled with maintaining faith in a faithless generation i'm speaking as a man of god who is wrestled with trying to believe god while being surrounded by the spirits of antichrist that have been released in this world but i remind you pastor if you're not careful you will look around at everything that is happening out there instead of focusing on who is in here you'll start looking around at every obstacle every problem every barrier to revival everything the devil has told you is the reason why the glory days are in the past and not the future i'm here to say do not let the enemy water down your faith do not let the condition of this world water down your faith for revival i remind this camp meaning the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the glory of the former house we need an infusion of faith in this room tonight we need a fusion of faith that would cause a man of god to step out of his seat and say i want to come and declare that all hell may hear revival is ahead of us we need the boldness of the holy ghost to rise up within us and to prophesy the greatest revival for our city it has not happened yet the greatest revival of my ministry it has not happened yet the greatest revival for my city it has not happened yet so believe it come on you believe it there's faith in this place right now somebody ought to run somebody ought to run to this altar somebody ought to run to this altar and say i believe i believe i believe the glory of the latter house is going to eclipse [Applause] [Music] come on jesus jesus come on jesus is in this place the lord of glory the lord of glory has stepped into this room the lord of glory has stepped into this room right now in the name of jesus he's walked into this place and when the lord comes in everything changes

his presence come on the lord's gonna speak faith to you he's gonna speak faith to you right now open your spirit to him open your mind to him open your heart to him he wants to speak faith he wants
