Summary
Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.
If these held their peace, the stones would cry out
- At the descent of the Mount of Olives the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen.
- Some of the Pharisees told Jesus to rebuke his disciples, and he answered that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
- He announces his subject, No Stone Zone, and leads the congregation in prayer before he begins.
Scriptures: Luke 19:37-40
The woman taken in adultery: lay down the stone of judgment
- The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery and set her in the midst, tempting Jesus: Moses in the law commanded such to be stoned, but what would he say?
- Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground, then said that the one without sin among them should cast the first stone; convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one until Jesus was left alone with the woman.
- They had already picked up their stones and chosen their targets before they ever asked him; a judgmental spirit nails the judger to the wall, not the judged.
- You do not know what the young person beside you walked through just to get to church, so mind your own business, be a friend instead of an enemy, and never carry stones around the altar of repentance.
- Racism is not welcome in the apostolic assembly: do not look at the color of skin, the car, or the background before you love somebody.
Scriptures: John 8:1-10
His own household: a no-stone home
- A parent with a child in their Christian school accused him of being a racist over a discipline matter, and he answered by telling her what she did not know about his family.
- He and his wife have three biological children, and for 14 years they served as foster parents in their county, fostering children of every background placed with them.
- They have also adopted three children: a daughter whose father on his deathbed asked them to take her and raise her to be apostolic, and two brothers.
- The church is a mingled people, so young people should stand up when that spirit tries to come among them and declare this a no stone zone.
Praise is public: let the redeemed of the Lord say so
- He reads David's psalm entire: praise the Lord while I live; put not your trust in princes, for his breath goes forth and his thoughts perish, but happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, who made heaven and earth and keeps truth forever.
- The Lord in that psalm executes judgment for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry, looses the prisoners, opens the eyes of the blind, raises those bowed down, and preserves the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.
- From the second psalm: let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy; he satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness.
- Praise is a public and vocal act of boasting about God; if this generation will not praise him, he has rocks waiting in the wings that will take their place.
- He was baptized in Jesus name in 1987 and filled with the Holy Ghost in 1988, and nobody is going to tell him to be quiet about it.
Scriptures: Psalm 146; Psalm 107:1-9
Unto us a child is born: the mighty God in Christ
- He reads from Isaiah: the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light, and on those in the land of the shadow of death the light has shined.
- For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
- He is the mighty God in Christ, coming in the name of the Lord; blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
- In a rolling acclamation he magnifies Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life, the one mediator between God and man, and the stone set at nought by the builders become the head of the corner, declaring there is salvation in no other name.
Scriptures: Isaiah 9:1-6
Who shall roll away the stone: testimony and altar ministry
- His youngest son was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome and a doctor doubted he would ever talk; his wife taught the boy sign language, and a speech therapist now has him learning a new word almost every week.
- His daughter came home from church and showed him how she had praised the Lord in the altar on her own, without anybody telling her to speak.
- Three years ago his mother died of cancer; his father, his grandparents, and other family went before her, and he once did CPR on his grandfather for 45 minutes until the paramedics came.
- At 47 years old, anxiety and fear gripped him while he was preaching and the devil threatened him over the word cancer, but something rose in his spirit: the stone was removed, and that settles it.
- He retells the women coming to the sepulchre early on the first day of the week asking who would roll away the stone, and when they looked they saw the stone was already rolled away, for it was very great; do not worry about the stone, because God never leaves the plan undone.
- In the altar ministry he speaks against the spirit of suicide over young people in the name of Jesus, calls them to lay hands on the sick and pray with one another, and reports three receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost during the ministry.
- The capture ends during the altar ministry, with Garnett still leading it; there is no dismissal on the capture.

i'm gonna start off slow but i won't be slow very long tonight so just give me about three minutes to be slow all right john the eighth chapter in verse verses 1 through 7 is where i want to begin tonight concerning a stone jesus went to the mount of olives and early in the morning he came again to the temple and all the people that came unto him he sat down and taught them and the scribes and the pharisees brought him a woman taken in adultery one version of this in the new testament adds and says they called her in the very act when they had set her in the midst they say unto him master this woman was taken in adultery in the very act of adultery now moses in the law commands us that such should be stoned but what sayeth thou thus they said tempting him that they might have to accuse him but jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not so when they continued asking him he lifted up himself and said unto them he that is without sin among you let him cast a stone in her and again he stooped down and wrote on the ground and they which heard it being convicted by their own conscience went out one by one beginning at the eldest even unto the last and jesus was left alone and the woman standing in the midst he looked at those that had brought the woman scripture tells us pharisees and sadducees and they took the woman and said her in the midst of jesus when they said in the midst of jesus they were already packing and it wasn't nine millimeters it wasn't 38 specials they already had picked up a stone because moses law says we're going to stone this woman they brought it to jesus tempting him and they said master what what would you say we do well number one scripture defines the pharisees and sadducees bringing her and saying we caught her in the very act that automatically lets us know young people that these men were nothing more than a bunch of peeping toms they had their eyes where they should not have been they were looking for something on someone when they should have been mined in their own business you'd be a whole lot better off as a youth group if you would start minding your own business and scream as loud as amen when the preacher preaches about their sin as he does your sin your youth group would be a whole lot better off if you stop focusing on the flaws of that young girl that you don't know her home life you don't know the hell she walked through just to get to church on sunday morning you don't know the foster families that she's been placed in and moved over and over and over and over and over again you don't know her past life you don't know who molested her and how they molested her and father molested her and all the details you don't know what she walked through you just ought to be thankful that she walked through the house of god to your assembly on a sunday morning she may be messed up in your opinion but you just mind your own business and stop carrying around your own stone man he really did preach this morning i'm going to tell you pastor talked about everything that he was doing i mean he just nailed him to the wall yeah you nailed yourself to the wall because you have a judgmental spirit when you should be more of a friend to them than you are an enemy by trying to pull out everything in their life so jesus said i tell you how we're going to solve this all of you that are without sin they were looking for they were looking they already had their target one said i'm hitting her right square in the forehead i mean one said i'll take off her right ear one said i'll hit her in the shins i mean they just already had targeted they were just ready for jesus to give the word but he looked at him and he said you that are without sin you cast the first stone and one by one they laid their stone down and they walked away we should never have stones in our hands around the altar of repentance we should never have stones in our hands when we're sitting in church pews magnifying the lord young people i know this is a youth conference this weekend and i'm trying to preach to you i don't want to get too far over ahead but i'm trying to preach to some young people and the and the young adults that are in this place tonight don't ever think you're better than somebody just because god has elevated you just be thankful that god elevated you but don't you ever think that you're better than somebody else who may not have arrived like you think they should arrive you let your man of god preach you let the holy ghost mix with the word of god and they'll be what god has called them to be you love them you honor them you pray for them racism is not welcome in the apostolic assembly there's a slang name for every color shouldn't be mentioned amongst the youth youth of our apostolic movement you should look at the color of skin before you invite them out to a restaurant with you if you you shouldn't worry about what kind of car they're driving or what the background is or or do they have money or not you shouldn't worry about all that you should love one another as christ has loved you if you can't lay your hand on the back of a young white lady then you're a racist if you can't lay your hand on the back of a young black woman you are racist you don't need to worry about that you need to lay down the stone because stones are not permitted in the altar and in the house of the lord now nobody asked me to say this and we're going somewhere but just give me about five more minutes right here i don't want to hurt anybody's feelings but i want to tell you young people you're going to leave this weekend changed thank god that brother perez spoke this morning did you hear what he said one of the things i heard a lot of what he said and it was spectacular what a message but i heard tuesday night where's brother perez at did i say your name right did i say it right praise god i got something right brother perez said this week on tuesday night there were 61 in the hispanic service i don't know if i got that right or not but i'm trying in that service they don't need a back corner you don't put them in a back room somewhere they're not less of a group of people their children are the most high god a few months ago someone in our christian school a parent is not attached to our church but she got upset due to some teachers in our school had to do some discipline actions toward their child after we worked and worked and worked and everybody knows about christian education in here and education the children is not the problem and so after me trying to remove myself from every little detail in our christian school somehow another i got brought into it and the lady told me over a phone conversation she said she didn't know anything about me she didn't know anything about my family for if she did she wouldn't have said this she said i think you're a racist and i said oh really she said yes i said now how do you know why would you say such a thing she said i just think the way your teachers disciplined this child i said so you're going to call me a racist she said yes i feel like that i said well let me give you a little history about the garnetts and the racist have you got a few moments of course i do i said do you know anything about me she said all i know is you're the pastor of the church i said good i'm going to educate you see me and my wife have three biological children luke brianna and olivia i said for the past 14 years six months ago we retired from our county as foster parents and they give us high honor and made us honorary foster parents after 14 years of service we now teach classes at dss they bring us in and we teach classes to our new foster parents in our community and i said over 14 years we fostered many children we fostered white children we fostered hispanic we fostered african-american and she said oh oh oh really i said you want to know a little more of

among you and you need to look at him and say this is a no stone zone no no this is the no stones home look everybody say move on preacher all right thank you i'm gonna move on saint john saint luke rather our scripture takes talks about jesus riding in you know the story he's riding to jerusalem it would be the last time he would ride into jerusalem for then would come the crucifixion and when he wrote unto jerusalem they cried blessed be the king that cometh in the name of the lord he's riding on the donkey and they're laying their coats in in front of him and they lay their coats and then they begin to cut palm leaves and lay in front of him and the scripture says somewhere behind him and some were in front of him and they were they were chanting blessed is he that cometh in the name of the lord blessed is he that cometh in the name of the lord blessed is he that cometh in the name of the lord blessed is he that cometh in the name of the lord and it ruffled the feathers of the religious people and they said master you need to rebuke your disciples but jesus looked at them in these words he said if i should tell them to hold their peace the rocks would cry out immediately david wrote it like this he said praise you the lord in psalms 15 46 praise the lord on my soul while i live i will praise the lord i will sing praises to my god while i have my being but not your trust in princes nor in the son of man in whom there is no help his breath goeth before he return it to his earth and that very day his thoughts perish happy is he that hath the god of jacob for his

he had double knee replacement man if i had double knee replacement i'd probably never get up again i said brother atkins don't worry about it thank you for don't worry about it i mean you're just you're here you don't determine your worship by the person next to you you know one thing that one thing that i'm trying to find the right word i don't want to say anything i shouldn't say cause my wife attacks me but one thing that aggravates me i guess is when young people act like they're more spiritual than the elders well if if she's not going to stand i'm not going to stand are you serious i mean for real she was teaching sunday school 30 years before you were born she'd been attending that church pulling weeds out of the flower beds keeping up the church long planting flowers in the flower beds paying tithe and orphans loving the pastor that you call your pastor now you don't determine your worship over somebody over here that may cannot get up like you can get up you don't know what god's done for them you don't know what god's done for him you don't know what god's done for her but you know what god has done for you let the redeemed of the lord say so let the redeemed of the lord say so let the redeemed of the lord say so whom he hath been redeemed from the hand of the enemy i was an alcoholic but god pulled me out i was molested but god cleared my mind i had a terrible upbringing but god delivered me you may be seated our youngest son mark he turns three on may the 10th he he he and my mom's birthday are just a day a day apart when he was born he was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome and a couple of a diagnosis he's non-verbal well he was you know he was non-verbal to where and one doctor said he wasn't sure if he would ever talk so we started teaching in sign language if you know anything about sister beth garnett you know that when the doctors say this can't happen she says i'm gonna pray about it and we're gonna go in another direction so she said sean we're gonna teach him sign language i said that's a great idea the only problem is we don't know it hello goodbye you want a french fry i mean i know what do you say i mean i just said we i don't know what are we gonna do so she started getting videos and she started teaching a boy literally sign language he'd come up to me one day and he wanted something he'd bring me something he wanted he's got a little drawer so he can't tell us what he wants to eat so he goes in that big drawer he pulls it out and he gets what he wants he brings it to me and i'll open it for him and he'll say thank you i'm like well thank you that's good well now he's got a speech therapist started coming to the church and the speech therapist after a few weeks you will not tell her he ain't going to talk because she'll look you dead now and she'll say this boy's going to talk now he says mama daddy gaga for olivia bribry from brianna he's learning a word just about every week something different so when you see me about tear one of them no stones on sheets of paper about in half and you say man the preacher's gone wild you don't know what we heard last weekend you don't know what god did for me a few days ago some of you young people in here tonight you've dealt with anxiety and some of you adults are dealing with anxiety dealing with fear and all that kind of business and the devil trying to take you out you don't know where god has brought us from you don't know how good god has been in our lives you can't tell me to be quiet ain't no stone gonna praise god for me you can't tell me to hush my mouth there's no stone gonna take my place you can't tell me to shut it up no stone taking my place you got to go so jesus allowed them to take him you may be seated to a rugged cross he put him on the cross of calvin they nailed his hands and his feet pierced him in his side put a crown of thorns on his head he stood at the whipping post took the stripes on his back for our healing they laughed him made a mockery of him made a sport of him and he said it is finished but it really wasn't it was just beginning the sabbath was passed mary magdalene and mary the mother of james and salman had bought sweet spices and they might come and anoint him very early in the morning the first day of the week they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun and they said among themselves look at your neighbor and say they set them on themselves look at your neighbor and say they said about themselves this is what they said y'all ready i want y'all to tell five people i want y'all to tell five people this who's to roll away the stone i mean we got we we've got all this we brought spices and we're going to anoint him it's very early in the morning and we're going to head down to the tomb and but the only problem is who is going to roll away the stone from the door of the sepulcher have you seen the stone good grief i mean did jesus think about this when he said on the third day i get up jesus did you understand that you might get up but could you get out mary and mary madeline had walked by there just hours every day looking morning and they said we want to dress and anoint the body of jesus and they said but when we get to the sepulcher who among us is going to roll away the stone i i just we we can't fathom it's massive it's it's guarded and it's massive it's got a guard watching the tomb who among us is going to roll away this who's going to roll away the stone from the sepulchre and when they looked they saw the stone was rolled away for it was very great god's not going to leave you he's not he's always going to make a way for you if he said to worship him in spirit and in truth then you worship him and spirit and in truth who's going to roll away the stone we don't know but we got to get there we don't know who's going to roll away the stone but god never leaves the plan undone he said if you'll praise him you won't have to worry about the stone if you worship him that stone will begin to move if you magnify him because jesus don't make dead promises don't worry about the stone i said don't worry about the stone guy's got a plan for the stone you just can't allow your youth group to become a stone song well i wish you praise him like he's alive i wish you'd worship him like you i wish you glorify you by the stone has been rolled away what you think god can't do he can do what you think god can't deliver he can deliver who you think god can't set free he'll set free but he needs a youth group that'll pray that a worship that a magnify god that'll give god what is worthy of i know he's been dead three days four days but jesus said lazarus get it hold up roll come on knoxville youth get on up come

serious he beat miracle signs and wonders a few months after my mother died i had heard about the anxiety and the fear but i never dealt with it brother eriksen i'd heard about it because my brothers had dealt with it and we had prayed and we have fasted and the devil had been defeated but at 47 years old it jumped up on this old boy and i thought it was going to kill me pastor carmen one night when i was preaching the devil challenged me he said you won't mention the word cancer because i'll put it on you fear grip my heart then something rose up in my spirit a few moments later and i said

passed them by but they begin to cry out jesus is walking the aisles of this sanctuary this evening and he is looking for someone who's desperate enough to cry out his name what you're going through is not anything when you begin to cry out when you lift jesus up your problems begin to diminish come on the gift of faith is in this house if you need a healing let someone know around you and a man
