Deception

pray with me right now lord jesus we love you we are so thankful lord for truth today thankful lord for your word that changes us thank you for the power of your spirit lord for truth that works in us oh god we love you today lord one more time jesus we call on your name i make myself available to you again jesus i need you let your glory lord touch our hearts and our lives today jesus we desire truth and revival within us oh god be magnified jesus be exalted savior we love you now can you just lift your voice to him one more time before we get into the word come on lift your voice loud and clear i love you jesus i believe in you jesus i honor you savior i trust in you in the name of jesus hallelujah you may be seated today thank you again good to see you all in the house of the lord to the singers and musicians i thank you to all of you hard workers teachers video audio lights parking lot greeter all the things that go on and how many just thankful for water with strawberries in it that's good ain't it see those things you may not think mean a lot but it does if you're thirsty for strawberry water and i am amen amen just the little things really matter as we sit today in this room we have just sat through an incredible worship time did anybody feel the lord over the last 30 minutes come on thank him for that come on thank him for that lord i thank you that i can still feel your spirit move thankful lord that i can still feel your power amen we are reminded as we sit through participate in become part of a worship service we are reminded that the power and the presence of god is the greatest and most desirable place where we can find ourselves you can say we on the shadow of any doubt every one of us i love the presence of jesus when i come into this room i know i mention it often but when i get to church the fact of the matter is i can feel the hand of the master working in my life i can see it on your face and on your countenance and there is no greater thrill for a pastor for a worker in the kingdom to know that they can evidently see god doing something in the lives of those around them i can see it on your face as your hands are lifted to heaven come on throw your hands to heaven look around don't that look good don't that look good on people when they lift their hands to the lord i can see men and women alike in a worshiping pros a position loving god kids young people just their hands up just thankful to be in the house of the lord i believe that the simplicity of worship allows us every opportunity to fall in love with jesus day in and day out listen when you come to worship jesus you got to know that he is without limits in fact some of you sitting here right now your week was a terrible week or your phone call this morning or what transpired last month or whatever's happening with somebody in your family and it's just messed you up i want you to know you can worship the lord and everything everything feels different oh what a desire that we need to have to be real to be in the presence of the lord now the fact is is there's not a whole lot of humans that enjoy it when somebody lies to them do they anybody thankful for that i just love that lie that's a good one or was it a lie i'm not sure but if but i don't know because what happens with a lie is you got nowhere to grab a hold of subject to change but when it comes to being in the presence of the lord he never changes therefore at whatever position place wherever you are you can throw your arms around him and he's there aren't you thankful for the reality come on he's not a fake god he's not something that's been fabricated by humanity but in the beginning god he is in charge and in control of all things thankful today that when we gather to worship we can see his very power and presence on the faces and in the lives of those around us now i don't mind telling you again i mentioned a moment ago of going to camp meeting it's one of the coolest things to go in a district event and as i mentioned to a couple of you guys going into that service you watch within a few moments that whole altar area is going to be full of teenagers and kids down there worshiping the lord now that might not mean anything to anybody but it means a lot to this preacher why because i see the next generation down there loving the lord worshiping and blessing his name now hang on to me for a moment yeah i'm from old school i know and i'm thankful to live long enough to tell it but i remember brother gibson as a child that there was always this fear that people had yeah here hang on to me that we get to the house of the lord and somebody said a little old lady or that guy or that person or that young person would just kind of show out in the spirit and we had a lot of elders in the church or older folk in the church that that would get greatly offended oh they just said this in the flesh yeah they just up there showing out knowing that last week they were there or i saw them a month ago here or there but oh now they're in look at them up there worshiping the lord now as a child in church i wasn't really sure justin what that meant and so a lot of times i was afraid i just worshiped this way because i didn't want to be one of those that was out of salt out of sorts and then when they said to lift your hands that's rain it's okay it's coming inside too well like it or not but i i was that kind of child growing up where where i wasn't sure where i belong in that because i would feel the anointing of the lord and the glory of god blow into a room but i didn't want to show out i didn't want to just just be in the flesh and and i didn't want everybody to think that i was all that in a box of cracker jacks i was a little nervous about it but then i begin to realize brother herb something about humanity i am very very good at being in my flesh but ain't one of you out there can see my spirit therefore if i'm simply as a human gonna wait on my spirit to get at an altar and shout and worship you're not gonna see nothing and i figured out very very early in life that it i was going to be in the flesh when i was worshiping and loving the lord and i was drawn as a young person to the life of a king named david who decided i don't care who's watching it don't bother me everybody's looking i believe in worshiping and dancing before the lord with my whole heart i didn't come to do it in front of you anyhow i came to do it before the lord therefore when i love him in the midnight hour i don't care if you like it or not god's been good to me god has anointed me god has put his hand in my life i've got the favor of the lord god upon me therefore if you so want to you can watch me a minute shout to the lord in the flesh why because my god is great and greatly to be praised come on somebody you need to realize there is something about the presence of the lord god that drives you to a place of worship oh somebody try it right now come on somebody reach out and just love him right now oh the simplicity of heartfelt worship loving serving and blessing the lord now because we don't like to be lied to and because we want to have truth working sometimes we come into the presence of god but we don't stop long enough to connect with him you hear me in fact right now in this room if i want to take a snapshot of where you are and what's on going on in your life at this second and then i will begin to upload those pictures to the computer so that everybody could see exactly what was on your mind what would everybody see i'll hold you like now like oh lord oh lord some of y'all just closed your eyes because the eyes are the window of the soul lord don't let him look because something happens when you get into the church house into the presence of the lord and you forget about who you are or who they are or what's going on with that or how bad your life or situation is but instead you begin to simply love the lord something begins to transpire i know that if we don't believe in the lie and we don't want to be lied to then friend of mine i've come to tell you all we really want and desire is to be loved and we really want to just love other folk it is what makes us feel blessed it is what makes us want to bless others so hear me the more that you follow the good things and the truth of god the more that you realize the power and the anointing of the lord god then you need to understand if you're going to receive good things you're going to have to spend good things to get good things hear me see they're going to be times in your life when everything's fell apart and you don't have a whole lot of good to give to god therefore if you're basing hear this preacher your relationship on what god's doing in you or to you or for you you've missed the whole point because in the midnight in the darkest point god's still worthy of all of the praise when life's going good when everything's turning your way when your boat is moving fast down the river you need to know god's in control but when it's tipped over and you're scrambling just to stand up and there's no strength in your mind or body god is still a god and he's still in control i don't want to believe a lie i want to love truth and the truth of the matter is in the midnight hour he's worthy to be praised early in the morning he's worthy to be praised because god will always be god so every week if you want to receive the good things of god my advice to you is invest wisely invest your time invest your treasure invest your talent invest your efforts and energies invest in the things of god let god be god let him move in your life we know that the greatest return we'll ever have is when the good things of god begin to show themselves come on that baby's being a baby don't be a baby too be an adult watch what's going on let god move in your life that child ain't bothering nobody but his mama right now understand something if we want to have the good investment something coming back then what we can demonstrate to a child that appeared just says thank you for doing that just as a child that blows up in church and then we get sideways and we all believe in that my child i better do that child and and then he used to forget all about what god's doing and it could very well be that god was one step from touching you but something distracted you and turned you hmm if you love truth and you do not love a lie then you better know something friend if you want to have a better life and you want to sleep better at night then you need to teach your children that an honest day's work deserves an honest day's pay that if you'll do right at all times that the right thing will happen even in the midst of what's falling apart there are little lessons that you're learning and that you're teaching to your children therefore mom and dad if i may young people listen carefully if you'll do the right thing all the time you don't have to worry about the wrong overshadowing you because even if somebody else has a desire to want to take you out or disrupt your life or distract you you can stand firm and say you know what i'm not distracted by that the lord god's on my side he said he'd make a way i believe he's making a way he said he'd open doors therefore i believe in an open door he said that he'd never leave me nor forsake me therefore i trust that he's right here right now and if i make my bed in hell he'll be there if i'm up in the mountain and he'll be there if i'm in the lowest valley he'll be there come on hey hear what i'm saying today either you believe he's god or he's not he is a healer or he's not he can do it or he can't i want to know do you believe it when everything is looking bad but still to say i still believe in jesus there are lessons that we learn every day about how good god is now please understand i'm not telling you that all the time you'll be sleeping on rose petals i'm not telling you that there won't be times of challenge and difficulties come on the bible is chock full of stories of truth see a lot of us really are glad that god provided for the children of israel and kept them through a drought but during the soul alive that says i wish that i could have done what joseph did and go down into a pit and be lied on by my brothers and and it'd be just all this happened then get sold into slavery and then get thrown into prison and then get lied about ain't no one not one of us want that story but we'll look at the outside of it and say man then take good god took care of his people all the while joseph's saying no you better back up i was the one in that pit i was the one that came out i was the one that went through all of this but in the midst of it all i had no idea what was happening but one thing i held on to is i trusted in the power of a god that could see me through i have no doubt that a joseph that a daniel that a shadrach that when they were in their lowest moments they were just like you and i every opportunity to doubt that god was truly going to show up and be god but we know the other side of the story i've come to tell you right now in whatever circumstance you're going through and whatever consecration you're having to make it's going to be worth it all some beautiful happy day all the lessons you're learning in life every one of those are to help us to grow and to mature why because we need to be found faithful in what god is doing in us i'm here today at this podium to simply draw our attention towards jesus christ his presence is here now he was invited into this place today by your prayers and because he inhabits praise of his people you have praised him and he is here as you worshipped and called on his name he's there as you came close to him as you sing the songs as you lifted your voice the lord god began to move in your circumstance allow me a moment if you will to go to the psalmist in chapter 34 verse number 15. get this today in your heart the eyes of the lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open unto their cry the face of the lord is against them that do evil to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth the righteous cry and the lord heareth and delivereth them out of all their troubles the lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit this psalm this particular set of words was david writing because abimelech was trying to kill him but david had to establish within himself a few things that god is on my side and no matter what anyone's trying to do against me a truth will stand and the righteous will be triumphant because of the price of an almighty god working come here today to tell you friend truth always prevails god is very close to us right now god is very near to you right now if you can somehow some way decide within yourself to open your heart and to call on him you will find his word to take wings and become true in you on this sunday i want you to know the presence of the god is here that you serve allow me a moment to pause and stand here and wait on him i love you jesus i know that you're moving in this room i know your glory lord has filled this place i know your voice is speaking to the hearts of your people and i love you i love you now all of you know if i'm your pastor you understand my things that the things that i do and the way that i see things or the way i present things i want you to know that my demeanor and yelling and jumping and so forth that is just because i fear that i'll explode if i don't somehow react to him respond to him and interact with him and i know there's a lot of folk that are nervous that pastor's gonna pass out because he's sweating to death don't worry if i don't sweat i'll pop and i know that i was got a watch that sometimes rattles on my arm and says hey you okay do we need to call the emergency yeah i'm in line at walmart and it's taking too long here hear me now here let me hear me please there was something about the beauty and the blessing of knowing god knowing that he is in control and that he loves you in spite of you and the reason that this drives me many times to a place of of trying my best to vocalize what the lord is doing is because every day we stand in a place where we make a decision come on when you come to church on a sunday what are you hoping is going to happen lord i i hope that my coupon's still good after so i can use it oh lord well i hope that that she wears that outfit lord because it it really makes her look bad and i want to lord i i'm really hopeful today that so-and-so doesn't show up because they sure do distract me is that what you think well lord no pastor that's silly but i could lord help me not to meddle but there are some things you don't even have to say but the enemy is very very good at just sowing distraction they didn't get up to come here today for this or that but what watch it they're getting close they're healing huh oh yeah oh i need to check that don't i um yeah i need to make sure sorry i got a text hold on i need to respond all right they all think that's silly there's several of you right now sitting here dying to get on your phone because the hand of the lord is right here doing and the enemy is trying his best to push it listen if you'll ever touch the hand of the man from galilee and get a hold of it he'll pull you places he'll do things in your life he'll pull you to a place of prayer he may even pull you to a cross die there now and watch what happens tomorrow there's some of you you are so close to the miraculous but you're not sure of the callouses of the nail scars in his hands and so you you've loosened it and you it's easier to deal with the distractions than to try to figure out what god's thinking because not one of us will come out of bondage after 400 years and get to the sea edge and say god i know you're about to split the water let me walk over on dry ground we can sing about it but when the enemy's hot on your trail first thing out of your mouth is just like them did you bring us out here to kill us no i could have killed you there the first thing the voice of god said moses tell them to stand still and they're all going whoa this ain't gonna be good we are ducks about to get shot out of the water and while they're standing still and they hear the roaring of the chariots behind them the wind begins to blow the water begins to push i have no doubt in my mind that the children of egypt as they're run those soldiers are looking and they're just freaking out look at that storm up ahead are you sure we need to go into that are you certain it looks like a storm cloud to me i don't know look at all there there's moisture in the area come on we we like charlton heston's version of it but the fact of the matter is this none of us were there but i can only imagine because we're humans it was not a pretty sight as that wind began to blow and as those children of god stood there and watched and that path began to open up in the red sea and a wall of water here and a wall of water there i i don't know maybe i'm silly maybe i don't understand but i can imagine that whale sitting there on the side going i don't know what's happening here i've never seen this obstacle before and you having to drag your kids by looking up going through i don't believe that the god of glory was confusing them i believe that as moses said was going across and as the people of god were moving across i gotta believe beyond the shadow of any doubt that what had happened when they left egypt y'all stay with me a minute is when they said gird up your loins be ready to leave as they walked out and begin to walk across that desert place that they were going to a promise and the more they believed in it the more they desired it every step they took but when they got to the sea's edge understand all these carts are rattling everybody's pulling them carrying what they got i gotta believe that the timbrel of miriam was strapped to the side of a cart and every bump that cart was going over it was rattling in her back of her mind she's thinking i know and identify with the rattle of the tambourine that it's to praise but i'm not really sure what's happening here come on keep moving keep moving it was on the other side when they stopped on the other side of the impossibility that then the waters began to fall down over their enemy and it was at that point that dear miriam got all of her consciousness together and picked up the tambourine and began to say look what the lord has done we are dancing right now on god's victory i wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but i know now if we will follow the voice of god we'll be dancing when it's over somebody remember god's goodness and giving praise right now i want to be in the presence of the lord god turn to somebody close to you and say you want to be with jesus why is that why does that need to be the most important thing i'll tell you why because this world of uncertainty and questions this world full of lies and deceit the things going on in our world every day you better know my friend you can't run away from all of that and not go someplace but the only way you can get away from that is get in his presence it might be your prayer closet it might be your car running down the road it might be on your job site it might be in this sanctuary at an altar it could be on the back side of your property it don't matter where what is important and what is so vitally important is that you understand it is because of his mercies that we are not consumed but his mercies are new every morning therefore i'm gonna search for your promises oh god i'm going to run after your passion mighty god i'm going to stay hungry for your plan for my life i'm going to believe that you know what is best for me i'm going to look to you in the midnight and in the early morning and at midday i'm going to come to you lord i hold in your hand i'm not going to live one day without you in my life we can get so caught up in our lives that we live we can almost get lost in the blessings of god hear what i'm saying just for a moment please there is a chance that because of god's goodness we can simply always assume that they'll be there right and we call it taking it for granted and that attitude if i may it can also come into your life and you can simply feel as if you are exempt from all of the repercussions of bad choices you make because you are trusting more on the mercy of god than on the judgment of god hear what i'm saying the truth is this world is so full of lies and deceit can you say amen why would we even want to consider allowing that to come into our lives come on if you want truth you run to jesus if you want to understand the fact of the matter you run to him don't misunderstand the facts he loves you yes he does but he wants you to love him too come on every single day we see something that's very interesting allow me for a moment just to kind of paint this picture a child can be the most sweetest and the most precious thing ever everybody say oh yeah we can see a child and we can ooh and we can go and we can hook you and we can and we can act all that way with that baby so much so that when that child does wrong so much so that when that child is very cunning and trying to twist you mom and dad or grandma grandpa that we can begin to defend the actions of that child listen to me carefully he's just tired she don't feel good that's why she shot him yeah am i right i know he poured his drink out on the ground but he don't like that drink lauren hang on to me baby my girl look at it i can use her as an example now she's still here listen to me carefully we can begin to defend that child's actions to try to figure out what they're doing and how they're why they're interacting the way they are and then it becomes normal for them and then we wonder why that they're acting the way they are as they grow up with it and the whole thing they're doing is they're just following suit of what they've been taught the same thing is true with you and i mom and dad grandma grandpa and our actions and our attitudes in the desire to do right and to be found doing good we can justify many times our actions and simply say well the lord will understand why i'm not making it to prayer meeting he'll just have to understand why i didn't pay my tithe this month he'll just well i believe god will still love me even though i don't show up and sign up for the prayer chain i know that i well i don't feel like going and working at the church i know there's a lot to do but it sure is dusty and dirty and we can justify our actions and attitudes and the fact of the matter is simply this we have made choices and those choices we have to live with consequences of it now i don't mind telling you there's been a lot of hard work going on around here and i had no desire whatsoever to get coveted so i didn't get it so far but somebody in my house got it i turned my back to her and so i have to stay quarantined for a few days i'm sorry 10 to 14 days and then i'm mad i'm like there is so much work to be done over there and i feel horrible that those men have picked that up and they're doing and and they're god help my friends today i'd come over early when i could with the bottle of lysol and i'd do little things and then i'd spray it down and go home and so nobody come in and say ah you got covered i'm clean and clean i don't want to get started on that last week brother sam did a fabulous job in his message talking about building a wall and i'm watching this message online and in my mind i'm saying but this young fella where is he going with this what is he doing with this and then he began to talk about how that when they built that wall that they built the one outside their home first if they were going to defend their home they need to make sure their wall was protected and right and it would connect to the next one and the next one y'all hear what i'm saying but listen to this preacher for just a moment i'm going somewhere and in just a minute the light's about to go on in your mind but what i realize and recognize is that doing the work of god here in this place in this building painting sweeping mopping whatever that happens to be sheetrock hanging off your head upside down with hanging a lot whatever that is you're not doing it because you think it's the coolest thing on planet earth you've got a family and you've got a life and you want to spend time with them and you think that you need to and then the wives or the whoever they're struggling lord i want to be home with them but i got this to do and why is it that i feel compelled to show up and and even though i don't know how to do it and i'm trying to figure it out i'm making a mess of it and i'm spilling god why do i feel this draw to do it is it because the pastor's going to make me feel bad if i don't show up or is it because i feel sorry for him because he's limping because he's getting old and grey-handed i don't know but i do know this friend that there is no weapon that is formed against you that will prosper but if you do not learn to understand the power of the weapon in your hand it serves no purpose so what you are doing man woman child whoever you are brother sister when you come and you come in i'm using the church project as an example because it's right here upon us is what you're doing is you are making choices and decisions that say now lord listen to me please i'm in a struggle right now i'm i'm in a bomb i'm this is i don't really understand but i know and i believe god that you're faithful i know and i believe your word doesn't lie i know that you are truth and your truth will prevail therefore god i need you lord and what i'm asking right now is for some confidence and understanding god in my tiredness in my weariness lord i want to know that the investment that i'm making is going to be worth it you hear this preacher you listen carefully saying of god i love you beyond more than you can ever imagine but you need to understand something the investment that you are making it truly does have eternal consequences pro the problem we deal with as humans is simply this well how come so and so ain't there working i don't work 10 hours they ain't worked an hour i've been here every day they ain't been here one time and then we can begin in our minds and in our hearts to draw an attitude contrary to somebody and all the while the lord god's saying now what's different between that one and that one and so you better settle within yourself there's a reason that i'm doing as unto the lord it's because whether any of you ever come and lift a finger whether any of you ever come and paint a wall whether you ever come and vacuum a floor or clean a toilet i'm gonna be in the house of the lord every chance i got you know why because i know i'm investing in that one and i got grand babies coming and she's going to invest in them i'm investing in that one i'm investing in this one i'm investing in that one i don't know how it's going to turn out but one thing i do know that god is faithful and i will not be deceived by the lie of my flesh nor the enemy that's trying to distract me but i will decide and i will declare great is the lord and he's greatly to be praised come on brother herb help me out please if you have felt the presence of the lord today in this room if you have felt the hand of the lord in your life then i am drawn i am pulling you with me to a place that you have to declare god you really can do anything i believe that you hold it all in your hand and i believe that your word is right and i trust it completely hear what the writer says in red in your bible matthew 24 verse 4 jesus answer said unto them take heed that no man deceive you many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many matthew chapter 5 we understand that as the beatitudes right blessed are blessed are blessed are our blood okay we get that and we rejoice with that that was jesus beginning his ministry that was him that he sat he taught he instructed he blew their mind he was trying to plant something within them but at the end of matthew still words of red instruction from jesus it's very intriguing to me that from his very mouth he says you can be deceived hear it because there are some that are going to come in his name jesus name and they're going to declare some things that are not true but jesus says don't you be deceived well how then will we know how will we really understand if it's truth or not i can tell you that very simply number one you've got to have a made up mind hell or high water good bad or ugly i'm gonna serve the lord i'm gonna love jesus i'ma worship him with my tithe with my offering with my time with my talent with my smile with my hand clap with my praise with my dance with my weariness with my not wearing this i'm almost going to love god i'm just going to serve god i'm going to be found doing the things of god god's going to bless god's going to move it's just who died i serve him because i love him you got to make up your mind secondly you got to honor him in everything that you do stay with me how are you going to know if you're being deceived they're coming in whose name so how are we going to know the difference i can tell you that jesus was very cool and calm when he allowed his spirit to begin to work within humanity it's called the holy ghost and that holy ghost power that you have living within you if you've been baptized in jesus name and you've been filled with the holy ghost evidence of speaking in tongues you already know by the evidence god is there you don't question you don't wonder you don't have to shake a hand you don't have to fill out a paper it is god's spirit because you heard it with your own ears nobody can take it from you and you'll never be able to explain it to anyone but you'll know beyond the shadow of any doubt it was a god thing so you know how jesus was telling them don't let anybody deceive you they're going to try to come in my name and they're going to deceive many and they're going to say they're the christ and they're going to say they're the messiah the deliverer and what's going to happen is as if you know me you're going to know my voice and you're going to hear me when i speak and you're going to know beyond the shadow of a doubt it don't matter the name if you don't understand the power in the name i can stand right here right now and i can tell every one of you that by the name of herb bullard i'm going to do this and poor old herb's going to stand there and say huh but didn't i just use his name now i know brother herb help me he and i look a lot alike he just parks his hair different i can use his name everywhere i want to go but you look at him and look at me and you'll know what any herb and he's going to say well thank you listen to me listen to me you can oh lord help me not to meddle today you can say and do and be all you want to be and you can use church and you can use religion you can use god all you want to but it is going to be the true worshipers that say i love him in spirit and truth and regardless of what kind of day i'm going through regardless of what's happening in my life i will not be deceived i will trust the mouth of the lord god i will talk about the good things of god i will honor the word of god i will look and desire for the things of god i will preach the name of jesus i will exalt the name of jesus i will share with him with others the name of jesus in the midnight i'll talk about him i'll talk about it with my children i'll let everybody else know about him why because he's in me i'm not being deceived i serve the lord god and he is in me there is power and truth in him his name i can take it to any devil and they'll tremble and flee i can take it to any king and they'll look with question on their mind i can take it to anybody poor living under a bridge or in a palace in any place but if i breathe the name of jesus and i'm a representative of the power of the name of jesus that's how
