SPEAKER_02: Psalms 95 and 2 Chronicles 20.
SPEAKER_02: Thanks for being in church tonight.
SPEAKER_02: I uh I really do appreciate you being here rather than watching the Olympics tonight.
SPEAKER_02: Now, uh, you know, I'm not against that as far as watching them or anything like that.
SPEAKER_02: Uh if you're taping it, I'm gonna watch it later or something like that.
SPEAKER_02: But I appreciate you being in church tonight.
SPEAKER_02: Psalms 95 and 2 Chronicles chapter 20.
SPEAKER_02: We're gonna go through a few scriptures tonight that deals with one specific topic.
SPEAKER_02: Every scripture in this Bible that we hold in our hands, God set the words in there just the way he wanted them.
SPEAKER_02: And we believe that.
SPEAKER_02: And you say, well, do you believe in uh divine inspiration?
SPEAKER_02: Yes, and in divine preservation also.
SPEAKER_02: And the idea is the words are set in this book, and and uh for my part, I believe that if you read uh uh the words and then look them up in an English dictionary, you can get everything you could handle for a lifetime.
SPEAKER_02: And the idea, though, is every word in here is written by God.
SPEAKER_02: So as we study God's Bible, we are studying God.
SPEAKER_02: When God puts something in here, it shows his character in that he wanted it put forth.
SPEAKER_02: So I I I don't want you to think that this is just sometimes you you hear some preaching and you go, well, yeah, that was nice.
SPEAKER_02: He must have looked up in concordance and found that word and just ran some scriptures.
SPEAKER_02: Uh that's not what I've tried to do.
SPEAKER_02: In fact, I wrote this message uh a couple of Monday nights ago at a camp meeting, and I didn't look up any of the scriptures.
SPEAKER_02: They just started coming.
SPEAKER_02: I just started writing them down and everything, and then we started cording, I started correlating a little bit later.
SPEAKER_02: So with that in mind, look at Psalms 95 as we start, and let me introduce this to you tonight, and we'll just quickly run through some scriptures, and we'll be out of here in good order tonight so you can have some fellowship still in the summertime.
SPEAKER_02: Psalms 95, it says this in verse 1.
SPEAKER_02: Oh, come, let us sing unto the Lord, and let us make a joyful what?
SPEAKER_02: Say it.
SPEAKER_02: Noise to the rock of our salvation.
SPEAKER_02: Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and make a joyful what?
SPEAKER_02: Noise unto him with Psalms.
SPEAKER_02: Not every noise is what we think about.
SPEAKER_02: Oh, don't be so noisy.
SPEAKER_02: Not every noise in God's ear is a negative.
SPEAKER_02: As you study this Bible, God uses and created sound, if you would, for a reason.
SPEAKER_02: Psalms 100 re-emphasizes again.
SPEAKER_02: If you're right there, it says, make a joyful noise in the Lord, all ye lands.
SPEAKER_02: Now with that in mind, look at 2 Chronicles chapter 20.
SPEAKER_02: 2 Chronicles chapter 20.
SPEAKER_02: Remember, these are his words.
SPEAKER_02: 2 Chronicles chapter 20.
SPEAKER_02: And notice what happens here because there are a lot of different noises out there, and I just want to talk to you a little bit about that tonight.
SPEAKER_02: 2 Chronicles chapter 20.
SPEAKER_02: Look if you would in verse 13.
SPEAKER_02: And if you'll read that scripture down a little bit in verse, I'm sorry, 15.
SPEAKER_02: In verse 15, if you'll read down that scripture, Jehoshaphat is facing a battle.
SPEAKER_02: And the end of verse 15 of 2 Chronicles 20 says, For the battle is not yours, but God's.
SPEAKER_02: And then he goes on down to verse 17 and says this, ye shall not need to fight in this battle.
SPEAKER_02: Again, if you're just getting to the scripture, it says, The battle is not yours, Jehoshaphat, it's God's.
SPEAKER_02: And then he says that tomorrow when you go out, uh, and inferring that, you'll not need to fight this battle.
SPEAKER_02: But look what they did in verse 21.
SPEAKER_02: And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed what?
SPEAKER_02: Singers unto the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: What were they going to do?
SPEAKER_02: They're going to make a joyful noise.
SPEAKER_02: And that sh that that and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and to say, Praise the Lord, for his mercy endureth forever.
SPEAKER_02: So all God was doing was listening to their singing, if you would, that joyful noise.
SPEAKER_02: And look at verse 22.
SPEAKER_02: And when they began to do what?
SPEAKER_02: Sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes among the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, which were come against Judah, and they were what?
SPEAKER_02: Smitten.
SPEAKER_02: When they began to sing and to praise and to give uh glory to God in that joyful noise, God heard that noise.
SPEAKER_02: It was sweetness in his ears, and he fought for them.
SPEAKER_02: Brother, now all the noises of this Bible have a purpose and a reason.
SPEAKER_02: Look at what at 2 Samuel chapter 5.
SPEAKER_02: 2 Samuel chapter 5 and 1 Kings 19.
SPEAKER_02: We'll go quickly.
SPEAKER_02: 2 Samuel 5 and 1 Kings 19.
SPEAKER_02: Now, I I have a reason to get down to, but I want to have you study your Bible a little bit along the way.
SPEAKER_02: 2 Samuel 5.
SPEAKER_02: You see, for me, laying a foundation means you study your scriptures.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: And then we get down to the message, the text verse, and that way you get a little bit on the front side of a message and get to study your book a little bit more.
SPEAKER_02: And along the way, you might underline something and say, Well, I want to go back and study that a little bit later on.
SPEAKER_02: Look at 2 Samuel chapter 5.
SPEAKER_02: Joyful noise.
SPEAKER_02: 2 Samuel 5.
SPEAKER_02: And if you notice in verse 19, David asks God what he should do concerning the Philistines.
SPEAKER_02: And in that verse, the Lord says to David, Go up.
SPEAKER_02: And you ought to circle that, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines unto thine hand.
SPEAKER_02: So he tells him, Go on up, David.
SPEAKER_02: And David does go up.
SPEAKER_02: But he comes to a second place shortly thereafter, where in verse 23 David inquires of the Lord in 2 Samuel chapter 5.
SPEAKER_02: And look what he says.
SPEAKER_02: David inquired of the Lord, and he said, Thou shalt what?
SPEAKER_02: Not go up.
SPEAKER_02: So he says, Go up, and then he says, Now don't go up, but here's what I want you to do.
SPEAKER_02: Fetch a compass behind them.
SPEAKER_02: He says, Go around them.
SPEAKER_02: And come upon them over against the what?
SPEAKER_02: The mulberry trees.
SPEAKER_02: And you'll hear this cliche once in a while.
SPEAKER_02: And let it be when thou does what?
SPEAKER_02: Hearest the sound, it's a noise, of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself.
SPEAKER_02: You know what he's saying?
SPEAKER_02: Wait for the noise.
SPEAKER_02: Don't do anything.
SPEAKER_02: Don't go up, go around them and listen to the noise in the trees.
SPEAKER_02: And when you hear the noise, get yourself up, for then shall the Lord go out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
SPEAKER_02: Obviously, if they would have gone before they heard the noise, they would have gone ahead of God's will and God's timing.
SPEAKER_02: They were supposed to go out and wait until they heard the sound in those mulberry trees, and that was the sound that God was ready to go in his timing.
SPEAKER_02: Doesn't matter what he was doing, he's going to do whatever he's going to do, anyways.
SPEAKER_02: They were just supposed to wait, and when they heard that sound, they were obedient, and they went out, and God delivered a great victory that day.
SPEAKER_02: It was the right noise at the right time.
SPEAKER_02: Look at 1 Kings 19.
SPEAKER_02: Stay with me.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Kings chapter 19.
SPEAKER_02: This is the story where the prophet Elijah is out, and he's just had a rough go of it and been threatened by Jezebel.
SPEAKER_02: And look what he says in verse 11 of 1 Kings 19.
SPEAKER_02: And he said, Go forth and stand upon the mountain before the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: That's Elijah going out there.
SPEAKER_02: And here he is standing up on that mountain.
SPEAKER_02: And behold, the Lord passed by.
SPEAKER_02: And a great and strong what?
SPEAKER_02: Wind.
SPEAKER_02: Now I don't know if you ever heard a great and strong wind, a tornado or a hurricane.
SPEAKER_02: It just howls.
SPEAKER_02: There's a noise with it.
SPEAKER_02: Rent the mountains and break the pieces in pieces the rocks before the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: Can't you just hear the sound of these rocks breaking?
SPEAKER_02: And I mean, uh, when you ever if you ever heard rocks break or crack, there's a great sound that goes with it.
SPEAKER_02: And the Lord was not in the wind.
SPEAKER_02: And after the wind and what?
SPEAKER_02: An earthquake.
SPEAKER_02: Now listen, you can't tell me when the ground cracks, there's not a noise.
SPEAKER_02: But the Lord was not in the what?
SPEAKER_02: In the earthquake.
SPEAKER_02: And after the earthquake, a what?
SPEAKER_02: A fire.
SPEAKER_02: And a fire has a great noise to it, but the Lord was not in the fire.
SPEAKER_02: And after the fire, a still small voice.
SPEAKER_02: Sometimes, brethren, it doesn't have to be a loud noise, but it has to be a noise from God.
SPEAKER_02: And it was so when Elijah heard it, what?
SPEAKER_02: The still small voice that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entering end of the cave.
SPEAKER_02: And behold, there came a voice unto him and said, What doest thou hear, Elijah?
SPEAKER_02: The idea, brethren, please look up here, is that God uses noises in a lot of different ways, shapes, and forms.
SPEAKER_02: Let me show you a little bit further.
SPEAKER_02: Look at 1 Samuel chapter 4 and Ezra chapter 3.
SPEAKER_02: Now we're going to get to something in just a minute.
SPEAKER_02: Stay with me.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Samuel 4 and Ezra chapter 3.
SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't want to just have a message that was just informational or Bible institute style of teaching is something from the Bible.
SPEAKER_02: I want you to get something very practical.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Samuel 4 and Ezra chapter 3.
SPEAKER_02: In 1 Samuel chapter 4, I'd like you to see verse number 5.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Samuel 4, verse number 5.
SPEAKER_02: Are you guys with me still back here?
SPEAKER_02: All right, good.
SPEAKER_02: And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel did what?
SPEAKER_02: They what?
SPEAKER_02: They shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
SPEAKER_02: And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout?
SPEAKER_02: And see, we think about that, but you know what?
SPEAKER_02: You go to a stadium today, uh, go down to that Atlanta stadium, where I don't know how many they fit in one stadium, maybe a hundred thousand people, and and one of the people uh that's from the United States wins, and there grows up a great roar.
SPEAKER_02: That's only a hundred thousand people.
SPEAKER_02: Hey, you studied out there was many more Israelites shouting that day in that camp.
SPEAKER_02: I know way back when they were out in the wilderness, there were six hundred thousand going to war.
SPEAKER_02: You get six, seven hundred thousand people that are men shouting at once, and the earth will rattle a little bit, amen.
SPEAKER_02: And the Philistines heard that.
SPEAKER_02: What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?
SPEAKER_02: And they understood that the ark of the Lord was coming to the camp.
SPEAKER_02: Now watch verse 7.
SPEAKER_02: And the Philistines were what?
SPEAKER_02: That that shout put fear in them.
SPEAKER_02: Now, please look up here.
SPEAKER_02: If you know anything about uh uh in the Civil War, they had what was called the rebel yell.
SPEAKER_02: And they would start yelling like uh like they were getting ready to charge.
SPEAKER_02: And I mean that had a demoralizing effect.
SPEAKER_02: And then the Union began to have their yell.
SPEAKER_02: Uh, if you read the uh the the wars, uh the Pacific Wars, the Japanese had the bonsai charge.
SPEAKER_02: And they just knew it was going to come wave after wave after wave, and they blew that trumpet and began to shout.
SPEAKER_02: You see, there's something to this thing about noise, if it's the right kind of noise.
SPEAKER_02: Look, if you went a little bit farther, look at Ezra chapter 3.
SPEAKER_02: Ezra chapter 3.
SPEAKER_02: Now, God wouldn't put this in here just to, well, that's that's a nice study.
SPEAKER_02: Stay with me.
SPEAKER_02: You know, when the Israelites came to Jericho, what were they told to do?
SPEAKER_02: They were told to walk around that city just with the trumpet blowing and keep quiet.
SPEAKER_02: And they were to do that for a seven-day period.
SPEAKER_02: And on that seventh day, when they walked around seven times, when the trumpet blew long, they were supposed to all shout.
SPEAKER_02: And God heard that noise, and please look up here, it was a noise of obedience.
SPEAKER_02: And when they shouted according to obedience, the walls did what?
SPEAKER_02: Talk to me.
SPEAKER_02: They fell down.
SPEAKER_02: I think if they would have not shouted, God wouldn't have had the walls fall down because he was waiting for their obedience.
SPEAKER_02: Now I'm not saying tonight that the place has to be a chaotic shout, and I'm not advocating that you're missing the point.
SPEAKER_02: Look, if you would at Ezra 3, look at verse 10.
SPEAKER_02: And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they set the priest in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the son of Asaph, with symbol to praise the Lord after the ordinance of David, king of Israel.
SPEAKER_02: And they sang together by court in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord, because he is good.
SPEAKER_02: For his mercy endureth forever towards Israel.
SPEAKER_02: They were just happy after their destruction and their captivity.
SPEAKER_02: Remember, they were carried away by Nebuchadnezzar and served in hard bondage.
SPEAKER_02: They were happy to be free out there and have the liberty to go lay the foundation of that new temple.
SPEAKER_02: And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.
SPEAKER_02: But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers who were ancient men that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house, that was Solomon's temple, was laid before their eyes, they wept with a loud voice.
SPEAKER_02: And many shouted aloud for joy, so that the people could not discern the what?
SPEAKER_02: The what?
SPEAKER_02: The noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people.
SPEAKER_02: For the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
SPEAKER_02: And brethren, in a church, sir, as there may be the noise of shouting, but there almost also may be the noise of weeping.
SPEAKER_02: Nothing wrong with any one of those noises, because God hears them all and he's able to discern the noises.
SPEAKER_02: And he's able to see the heart from which the noises rise up.
SPEAKER_02: You think of old Gideon.
SPEAKER_02: Gideon goes out and he says to those 300 who are facing a multitude.
SPEAKER_02: He says, Here's what you do.
SPEAKER_02: We're dividing off into three companies.
SPEAKER_02: You stand up there, you break the pictures and hold up the light.
SPEAKER_02: The trumpet's going to sound, and when it sounds, you say, The sword of the Lord and Gideon.
SPEAKER_02: The sword of the Lord and Gideon.
SPEAKER_02: That was obedience.
SPEAKER_02: Simple obedience.
SPEAKER_02: Look at Luke chapter 1 and Ezekiel 37.
SPEAKER_02: Stay with me.
SPEAKER_02: And we're coming into the context of the message.
SPEAKER_02: Luke 1, Ezekiel 37.
SPEAKER_02: You don't have to worry about being in a long message.
SPEAKER_02: Luke chapter 1, it will be.
SPEAKER_02: And Ezekiel 37.
SPEAKER_02: I just don't want you to worry about it.
SPEAKER_02: Luke chapter 1 and Ezekiel 37.
SPEAKER_02: Isn't it wonderful to have a Bible we can study?
SPEAKER_02: Now remember, these are the words of God.
SPEAKER_02: We get to know the character of God by studying his word, old and new.
SPEAKER_02: Luke 1 and Ezekiel 37.
SPEAKER_02: Ladies, I want you to look at this very carefully.
SPEAKER_02: In Luke chapter 1, and look at verse 39.
SPEAKER_02: And Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste in the city of Judah and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted who?
SPEAKER_02: Elizabeth.
SPEAKER_02: Now remember, Elizabeth was with child with who?
SPEAKER_02: John the Baptist.
SPEAKER_02: Mary was with child with Mary.
SPEAKER_02: And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb.
SPEAKER_02: Huh.
SPEAKER_02: Mary comes in and salutes Elizabeth, and when Elizabeth is saluted by Mary, the baby's jumping around.
SPEAKER_02: And Elizabeth was what?
SPEAKER_02: Say it.
SPEAKER_02: Filled with the Holy Ghost.
SPEAKER_02: Now, brother, when we get filled, something happens.
SPEAKER_02: It's consistent.
SPEAKER_02: And it's not speaking in tongues.
SPEAKER_02: Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.
SPEAKER_02: And look, she spake out with a what?
SPEAKER_02: Say it, a loud voice.
SPEAKER_02: And said, Blessed art thou among women.
SPEAKER_02: And blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
SPEAKER_02: Who's she talking about?
SPEAKER_02: Mary.
SPEAKER_02: It didn't say fall out and worship her.
SPEAKER_02: She's just blessing the fact that Mary has been chosen.
SPEAKER_02: And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
SPEAKER_02: For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded that noise, in mine ears the babe what?
SPEAKER_02: Leaped in my womb for joy.
SPEAKER_02: And blessed is she that believeth.
SPEAKER_02: For there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: When there was a filling of the Holy Spirit, even this woman with a loud voice gave this description about Mary and God's choice of her.
SPEAKER_02: In the book of Acts, chapter 2.
SPEAKER_02: If you remember when the Holy Spirit comes, he comes with the sound of a rushing mighty say it, wind.
SPEAKER_02: And there's a rushing mighty wind that comes in, and they're filled with the Holy Spirit of God.
SPEAKER_02: Wait a minute.
SPEAKER_02: And they begin to speak with tongues that are languages that are easy to be understood by everybody there.
SPEAKER_02: Yes or no?
SPEAKER_02: Talk to me.
SPEAKER_02: And everybody hears in their own language about the Lord and the gospel.
SPEAKER_02: And Peter stands up and begins to speak and begins to preach, and all these hear in their own ears what's going on and what's being said.
SPEAKER_02: And the end result of that feeling, there was a loud noise that happened, and 3,000 people got saved.
SPEAKER_02: When God fills someone, it's there's weeping sometimes, but don't be surprised when there's a feeling if you just kind of well up and want to shout or say something.
SPEAKER_02: Look, if you would at Ezekiel 37.
SPEAKER_02: Ezekiel 37.
SPEAKER_02: In Ezekiel 37, you know it, it's the valley of dry bones, but I want to point something out to you.
SPEAKER_02: This is an army, if you would, that's going to be raised back to its feet.
SPEAKER_02: And the bones begin to shake.
SPEAKER_02: Verse 5, thus saith the Lord God unto these bones, behold, I will cause breath to enter to you, and ye shall live.
SPEAKER_02: I will lay sinners upon you and will bring up flesh upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you, and ye shall live.
SPEAKER_02: And ye shall know that I am the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: So I prophesied, as I was commanded.
SPEAKER_02: And as I prophesied, he says, as I was speaking, as I was preaching, I was telling, there was a what?
SPEAKER_02: Noise.
SPEAKER_02: What did he hear?
SPEAKER_02: He's heard bones rattling, amen.
SPEAKER_02: And behold, a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
SPEAKER_02: And the Bible says later that he breathed in the breath, and they stood up.
SPEAKER_02: But there was a noise, and please look up here, just like uh when there was a filling of that Holy Spirit and that babe leap, when these when this army was given life, there was a noise, and and please look up here, it was God's plan, and God put it in a baby that when a new baby is born, that when that baby comes out and it's alive and it's healthy, if you would, God put it in that baby.
SPEAKER_02: When they slapped that baby, the first thing you hear is a noise.
SPEAKER_02: Now, God chose that evolution, didn't God chose that to happen.
SPEAKER_02: If a healthy child comes out, that mother waits to hear that sound.
SPEAKER_02: And I'm not trying to uh make anybody feel bad if something like that didn't happen with one of your births, but may I say there's nothing like a woman, and I'm not a woman, but I've seen my wife so many times.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: And that child comes out 7.5 times, and when that baby is slapped, or maybe that baby doesn't even need to be slapped, and that baby begins to cry.
SPEAKER_02: I tell you what, there's a relief to that mom.
SPEAKER_02: And when there's new birth going on, there's some noise involved.
SPEAKER_02: Look, if you would at 1 Kings chapter 6 and 1 Chronicles 20, stay with me.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Kings chapter 6, and let me get to where I'm going.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Kings 6 and 2 Chronicles chapter 20.
SPEAKER_02: Now watch this carefully.
SPEAKER_02: And 2 Chronicles chapter 20.
SPEAKER_02: In 1 Kings chapter 6, look at it, brethren, real carefully.
SPEAKER_02: We're three-quarters of the way through the message.
SPEAKER_02: Verse 6 talks about how Solomon began to build the temple.
SPEAKER_02: And how were they they were constructing it?
SPEAKER_02: And notice if you would verse 7, watch it carefully.
SPEAKER_02: And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither.
SPEAKER_02: So that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron.
SPEAKER_02: What's the next word?
SPEAKER_02: Heard in the house.
SPEAKER_02: So they kept that noise down to a minimum in the house while it was in a building.
SPEAKER_02: So in the temple itself, they wanted it to be something, if you would, something special.
SPEAKER_02: And so they they did everything they could on the outside of the temple and preparing the stones and fitting them just perfectly and the wood and everything so the hammer wasn't needed, and the axe wasn't needed, and the iron tool wasn't needed.
SPEAKER_02: And I was sure there was a little noise, but not like you would hear the can the hammering of a construction site.
SPEAKER_02: But look if you would with that in mind in 1 Chronicles 22.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Chronicles 22.
SPEAKER_02: In 1 Chronicles 22, verse 3.
SPEAKER_02: And David prepared verse 3.
SPEAKER_02: 1 Chronicles 22.
SPEAKER_02: And David prepared iron in abundance.
SPEAKER_02: For the nails, for the doors of the gates, for the joinings, and brass in abundance without weight.
SPEAKER_02: Also cedar trees in abundance.
SPEAKER_02: If you look down a little bit further, and you'll notice in verse 5, or 15, look at verse 15.
SPEAKER_02: Moreover, there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men of every manner of work, gold and silver.
SPEAKER_02: Please look up here.
SPEAKER_02: Even though there was a minimal amount of sound going on inside the with the building that was happening, there was a great deal of sound and noise going on in preparations for that.
SPEAKER_02: On the outside, they were where they were hewing the stone.
SPEAKER_02: And I don't know if you've ever been around a rock quarry and heard them uh uh blasting away, if you would, and cutting the stone.
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you ever heard a big tree fall.
SPEAKER_02: But there's a great deal of noise going on outside of the workplace, so inside of the workplace maybe there's a minimal, but please look up here and listen to me.
SPEAKER_02: It's sort of like a church, should be.
SPEAKER_02: Shouting and running around and all kinds of stuff, and I'm not against that.
SPEAKER_02: As long as there's work going on outside of the building, as long as somebody during the week is hewing the wood and and and and cutting out the stone.
SPEAKER_02: Because if all of the services we have in here, and all that we have is where you gotta come to church to get charged up to shout a little bit, and understand services where there wasn't much noise at all going on in there, and there wasn't a great deal of shouting going on, but a lot of people getting running on the orbiter, and then they went out the next week and witnessed to somebody, and woman somebody to Christ and witnessed to somebody else, and all they came in, and they people get baptized, and that brings in the noise.
SPEAKER_02: You see what goes on outside of the building prepares us for our services here.
SPEAKER_02: Somebody asked me one time, how do you uh what's the secret of your spirit in your church?
SPEAKER_02: I said, Well, I I I I guess a lot of it it says uh if you bring your sheaves with you, there'll be joy.
SPEAKER_02: And whether people hear testimonies about what's been happening outside of the church walls, in some ministries, or in door knocking, or in in in in when we heard about the prison revival and different things like that, hey, didn't it create some noise in here?
SPEAKER_02: A dead church, a church where there's no sound, except for someone complaining about the color of the carpet, or someone slandering someone else, or someone complaining and murmuring about something, and most of the time, I'll tell you what, those that are out hewing the wood, and those that are out cutting the stone, and those that are out trying to do something for the Lord in the church, they might complain a little bit, but it's of a minimal.
SPEAKER_02: Noise in the church house needs to be preceded by something going on outside the church house.
SPEAKER_02: Let me give you an example, and and nobody knew why I was going to do this or anything.
SPEAKER_02: Mrs.
SPEAKER_02: Schultz, could you come up here and uh we just asked you before the service to give a quick testimony?
SPEAKER_02: Where are you at, Jan?
SPEAKER_02: If you'll come quickly.
SPEAKER_02: Because uh let me just demonstrate or illustrate what I'm what I'm trying to get across to you about this thing about noise.
SPEAKER_02: Uh Jan, just give a give a testimony for half an hour or so.
SPEAKER_00: Last Sunday we went to Las Calinas, and it was set up by excuse me, Charlie Kiterling, and um they invited us to come in to witness to help to hold a service.
SPEAKER_00: We held two services.
SPEAKER_00: Actually, the preacher was um Mike Klein, and we were assisted by um Roger Monette, and I was there to witness to the women.
SPEAKER_00: I usually stand in the back of the room, and if they want to get saved, they come back.
SPEAKER_00: Well, they were ready, they were ripe, and God had them where they should be because we were covered.
SPEAKER_00: I was covered with women.
SPEAKER_00: The chaplain was sitting over there and we she couldn't even see me.
SPEAKER_00: And we tried to figure out, we were so busy, I was so busy writing their names in the little how to be saved books after they accepted Christ.
SPEAKER_00: And the beauty of it was they knew they were sinners.
SPEAKER_00: And and then the second service were people that were going out to CIW, they're they're going, they're going to a different prison.
SPEAKER_00: A lot of people in there are lesbians.
SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of people that didn't even bother coming to a church service.
SPEAKER_00: But three of those women got saved.
SPEAKER_00: And we conservatively estimated there were 23 women saved that day.
SPEAKER_00: And what a blessing it was to us.
SPEAKER_00: And the preaching was wonderful.
SPEAKER_00: It was different, both services.
SPEAKER_00: He had the same message, but God put the right words in his mouth to make it briefer for the one group and longer for the other who needed it.
SPEAKER_00: It was it was magnificent.
SPEAKER_00: And it's a blessing for us to be able to go out and do this.
SPEAKER_00: But you could, if you could have seen their eyes, they were they were rushing to get what it was he was offering.
SPEAKER_00: And what he was offering was peace that passeth all understanding through Christ our Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: So you get my point?
SPEAKER_02: Hewing on the outside of the church brings the right kind of noise inside the church.
SPEAKER_02: Cutting of the stone out there, when you hear about it, what do you say when you hear 23 ladies got saved?
SPEAKER_02: It brings the right kind of noise.
SPEAKER_02: Hey, there ought to be more noise in our church about salvation than about business meetings.
SPEAKER_02: Look, if you would with me and uh go a little bit farther and look at Ezekiel chapter 1.
SPEAKER_02: And would you also pick up Revelations chapter 7?
SPEAKER_02: Ezekiel 1 and Revelations chapter 7.
SPEAKER_02: Let me read you another one.
SPEAKER_02: And we could probably go on and on and on.
SPEAKER_02: Ezekiel 1 and Revelations chapter 7.
SPEAKER_02: I have a letter from the chaplain on the USS, I think I'll pronounce this right, Juno.
SPEAKER_02: It's LPD 10.
SPEAKER_02: Here in Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 7.
SPEAKER_02: Dear Pastor, allow me to introduce myself to you.
SPEAKER_02: My name is Miles Brown.
SPEAKER_02: I'm a United States Navy chaplain stationed aboard the USS Juneau, an amphibious assault ship homeported here in San Diego.
SPEAKER_02: The reason I'm writing you today to ask if you would be willing to send a set of services and Bible studies to us while we're overseas.
SPEAKER_02: Over the past two years, our ship has been underway more than she has been in port.
SPEAKER_02: Your tapes would be a great blessing to many of our young Christians as they strive to grow in Christ.
SPEAKER_02: This would also be a great way to introduce your church to many Navy families that are new to the San Diego area.
SPEAKER_02: He goes on to say thank you for considering the request, and he says how to contact him and everything like that.
SPEAKER_02: But when I got this mess or this letter, I thought, let's see.
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, we've got some men on that ship.
SPEAKER_02: I got another letter from a guy on another ship who said that the ministries have been growing.
SPEAKER_02: It's so good to get letters from people that say, hey, could you give us more?
SPEAKER_02: Could you send some tapes out here?
SPEAKER_02: Could you help us in some way?
SPEAKER_02: Hey, listen, that's hewing the stone, and that's the timber outside of the temple going on.
SPEAKER_02: But I'll tell you what, it ought to cause the temple to shout a little bit.
SPEAKER_02: Somebody sooner or later will wonder about the concept of this noise.
SPEAKER_02: And may I say this?
SPEAKER_02: In this Bible, there's noise that's depicted that's not godly.
SPEAKER_02: For example, uh Elijah says to those prophets of Baal, go on and cry out.
SPEAKER_02: Go on, cry out.
SPEAKER_02: Maybe he's asleep and can't hear you.
SPEAKER_02: And they go out and cut themselves with lances and begin to cry out.
SPEAKER_02: You know what?
SPEAKER_02: That was ungodly noise.
SPEAKER_02: And God didn't hear that in the way that he would hear our singing.
SPEAKER_02: If you uh if you think about the demoniac that had legion in him, the 2,000 devils, he was out there at night wailing away.
SPEAKER_02: Well, there's a lot of noise that's not the right kind of noise.
SPEAKER_02: Hey, if you remember Joshua and Moses were coming off the mount, do you remember?
SPEAKER_02: And there was a noise going on in the camp down there, and uh Joshua says, I hear a noise in the camp.
SPEAKER_02: Must be a the noise of war.
SPEAKER_02: And Moses says, It's not the noise of them seeking the mastery, and it's not the noise of them that's overcome.
SPEAKER_02: It's the noise of singing that I hear.
SPEAKER_02: And what he was hearing was a discotheque going on down there, and they were singing and dancing around this calf naked.
SPEAKER_02: And they weren't singing the songs of Zion.
SPEAKER_02: Are you listening to me?
SPEAKER_02: It was Egyptian music.
SPEAKER_02: They got it from the Egyptians because they were worshiping an Egyptian god.
SPEAKER_02: And when he got down there, it wasn't a noise that made Moses happy.
SPEAKER_02: And he took that old golden calf and strew it and made him drink it.
SPEAKER_02: So there's a lot of noises in here that's aren't right.
SPEAKER_02: And there are sometimes noises in the church that need to be muffled.
SPEAKER_02: I'm talking about the noises of uh, you know, the concept of discord.
SPEAKER_02: Or this noise.
SPEAKER_02: Let that be heard in the nurseries.
SPEAKER_02: We all have our times of depression, we all have our times when we feel short changed.
SPEAKER_02: And every one of us suck our thumbs once in a while.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: But it ought to not be a constant thing.
SPEAKER_02: That's good preaching.
SPEAKER_02: I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_02: That's terrible preaching.
SPEAKER_02: Look at you with Ezekiel chapter 1.
SPEAKER_02: Ezekiel chapter 1 and Revelation 7.
SPEAKER_02: Now, you just need to know this before you go to heaven.
SPEAKER_02: If you like it quiet, it's fine.
SPEAKER_02: Quiet home, okay.
SPEAKER_02: I like quietness.
SPEAKER_02: Quiet church, okay.
SPEAKER_02: Times I like it quiet, times there ought to be a little noise.
SPEAKER_02: I'll not be dead.
SPEAKER_02: But if you're going to heaven, you might as well plan on hearing a little noise.
SPEAKER_02: You say, how do you know?
SPEAKER_02: The Bible says so.
SPEAKER_02: You say, Well, I don't think I'm gonna like heaven.
SPEAKER_02: God will change you, so you will.
SPEAKER_02: Ezekiel chapter 1 says in verse 22 about the likeness of the ferment upon the heads of the living creature, and there verse 23, there's a firm, and there's wings.
SPEAKER_02: And these creatures have wings in verse 24.
SPEAKER_02: And these creatures carry around the throne, if you studied it out.
SPEAKER_02: And when they went, I heard the what?
SPEAKER_02: Noise of their wings.
SPEAKER_02: If you've never heard a uh a great deal of wings, that the closest I could get to it, I've heard the sound of uh hundreds of parachutists jumping out of the airplane all in succession, and you can hear the canopy fluttering, and it's a it's a fairly large sound, if you would, at night.
SPEAKER_02: Like the noise of great waters, if you know anything about his voice.
SPEAKER_02: It's the sound of great waters, and it's the sound of thunder, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an what?
SPEAKER_02: Say it, host.
SPEAKER_02: When they stood, they let down their wings.
SPEAKER_02: So in heaven, around that throne, brethren, there's going to be some noise, the wings fluttering, the great waters, the thunders, and that noise of that host.
SPEAKER_02: Look, if you will at Revelations chapter 7.
SPEAKER_02: Revelations chapter 7.
SPEAKER_02: And you know it, but I want you to see it because it's the right kind of noise, the kind of noise that God wants to hear.
SPEAKER_02: Revelation 7, verse 9.
SPEAKER_02: After this I beheld and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and kindred and people and tongues stood before the throne and before the lamb, clothed with white robes and palms in their hand, and all these of all these different nations that you couldn't put a number on.
SPEAKER_02: They were crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the lamb.
SPEAKER_02: And by the way, they must have been all speaking the same language.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: And the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne in their faces and worshiped God, saying, Amen.
SPEAKER_02: Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be unto our God forever and ever.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: That's what heaven's gonna be like.
SPEAKER_02: It's not gonna be chaos, it'll be a noise that's in unison.
SPEAKER_02: But we'll look a little bit further and look at Revelations chapter 19.
SPEAKER_02: Revelations 19, and brethren, our church and what goes on in our church, yes, we have to deal with problems.
SPEAKER_02: Yes, we have to deal with things going on.
SPEAKER_02: There ought to be a unity of noise, though, if you would, in the right way.
SPEAKER_02: Revelations 19.
SPEAKER_02: And look what he says in verse 4.
SPEAKER_02: And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God and sat on the throne saying, Amen.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_02: And a voice came out of the throne saying, Praise the Mother God, all ye servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
SPEAKER_02: Now look up here, there's a voice that comes out of the throne to all these people that says, It's like the applause sign, Praise the Mother God, all ye servants.
SPEAKER_02: And then it says, I heard as an order the voice of a great multitude, as the voice of many waters, as the voice of a mighty thundering setting.
SPEAKER_02: Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
SPEAKER_02: I'm talking about in heaven.
SPEAKER_02: Every once in a while, a throne of the voice out of the throne is going to say, time to praise him again, and we're gonna get a shout and worship him and tell him how good he is.
SPEAKER_02: Nothing wrong with doing a little bit of that in our private lives.
SPEAKER_02: Better than listen to rock music on the radio, turn it off and give God some praise.
SPEAKER_02: Better than listen to Country and Western on the radio, turn it off and give God some praise.
SPEAKER_02: Better to listen to some of those talk shows on the radio, turn it off and give God some praise and get practiced.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: Look if you would at Luke 19, last scripture.
SPEAKER_02: Luke 19.
SPEAKER_02: I want to ask you a question.
SPEAKER_02: What kind of noise are you making?
SPEAKER_02: Ask you again.
SPEAKER_02: What kind of noise are you making?
SPEAKER_02: Noise of discord.
SPEAKER_02: Noise of chaos, noise of slander.
SPEAKER_02: And we all do it.
SPEAKER_02: We're all guilty at times, amen.
SPEAKER_02: Noise of thumbsucking.
SPEAKER_02: Noise of a wilderness Christian of murmuring and complaining.
SPEAKER_02: Verse 35 of Luke 19, and we finish.
SPEAKER_02: And they brought him to Jesus, and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
SPEAKER_02: And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
SPEAKER_02: And when it's come nigh, even now at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples came to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that had they had seen, saying, And remember, they said it with a loud voice, all that were assembled.
SPEAKER_02: Blessed be the king that cometh in the name of the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: Peace in heaven, glory in the highest.
SPEAKER_02: And some of the Pharisees, yeah, always got Pharisees.
SPEAKER_02: From among the multitudes said unto him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
SPEAKER_02: Tell them to be quiet.
SPEAKER_02: They shouldn't be saying that about you.
SPEAKER_02: And he answered and said unto them, I tell you, Pharisees, that if these, speaking about his disciples, should hold their peace, the stones would immediately make a noise.
SPEAKER_02: Cry out.
SPEAKER_02: Now, brethren, I don't know about you, but God's given us a way to praise.
SPEAKER_02: And I want to say something here tonight.
SPEAKER_02: Uh those of you up there not deaf ministry.
SPEAKER_02: I know that God right now has not given you the ability, if you would, to hear like some of the rest of us hear with our ears.
SPEAKER_02: But you see with your eyes and you hear with your heart.
SPEAKER_02: As she translates what I've just said.
SPEAKER_02: And I saw some just go like this.
SPEAKER_02: You know what that means?
SPEAKER_02: That's a way of the deaf shouting up there and saying, Amen.
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what this means, but I think that's glory to God or something.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: And they can do just as much in their shouting.
SPEAKER_02: And God receives it.
SPEAKER_02: You say, Glory to God.
SPEAKER_02: Well, here's theirs.
SPEAKER_02: And he hears that noise too.
SPEAKER_02: And I want to tell y'all something up there.
SPEAKER_02: You're going to hear everything the rest of us here around the throne in glory.
SPEAKER_02: You'll hear the wings.
SPEAKER_02: You'll hear the fluttering.
SPEAKER_02: You'll hear the voice of God.
SPEAKER_02: You'll hear and you'll speak.
SPEAKER_02: And you'll shout along with the rest of us.
SPEAKER_02: Amen.
SPEAKER_02: And you better keep doing it, Death.
SPEAKER_02: Because if you don't, God might have to turn to a rock.
SPEAKER_02: To get his praise.
SPEAKER_02: And to those of us who have a voice and have ears.
SPEAKER_02: And by the way, I'm not saying, hey, I communicate with the deaf.
SPEAKER_02: You know what?
SPEAKER_02: God loves them.
SPEAKER_02: I'm glad we're having a deaf revival.
SPEAKER_02: But those of you who have the ability to speak and hear clearly.
SPEAKER_02: What are you doing now with that voice that God's given you?
SPEAKER_02: What are you doing with those ears God's given you to hear?
SPEAKER_02: What goes on in your home after the services?
SPEAKER_02: What goes on in your car after the services?
SPEAKER_02: What's the conversation like about the church in your home?
SPEAKER_02: Is it giving God praise or would God say, you know what?
SPEAKER_02: Turn into the Godhead, you know what, and instead of listening to what's going on in their home, let's just listen to the rocks tonight.
SPEAKER_02: Go out and give the gospel to somebody.
SPEAKER_02: Whether you get the opportunity to win them to Christ or not, give them the gospel presentation.
SPEAKER_02: There will be a joy in your heart just to get the seed out of the barn.
SPEAKER_02: Give a track out when you drive through Jack in a Box, there'll be a joy that rises up.
SPEAKER_02: Get involved in an outreach ministry.
SPEAKER_02: Find one.
SPEAKER_02: You say, Well, you know what?
SPEAKER_02: I'm a Sunday school teacher.
SPEAKER_02: Well, get involved in teaching Sunday school, but also get involved, if you want, outside hewing some stone and cutting down some timber.
SPEAKER_02: Get the gospel to someone.
SPEAKER_02: Find a ministry.
SPEAKER_02: The men go out on Saturday morning.
SPEAKER_02: The ladies go out on Saturday morning.
SPEAKER_02: The ladies go out on Tuesday.
SPEAKER_02: You say, Well, I can't make any of those times.
SPEAKER_02: We've got Thursday night.
SPEAKER_02: Well, I can't make any of those times.
SPEAKER_02: Then put some tracks in your pocket and go as you're walking through your daily life and stick them in an envelope that you're sending out or something.
SPEAKER_02: You say, you know what, preacher, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't feel very noisy.
SPEAKER_02: Then look up here and listen.
SPEAKER_02: Then you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_02: Well, I I you know, I just all I can focus is on what's going on, and and and and and you know, um, I'm just maybe you're hanging around the wrong people.
SPEAKER_02: If the group you're hanging around, all they do is slander and cut and chide.
SPEAKER_02: I tell you what, there's other groups that don't.
SPEAKER_02: Every group, every ministry has a little bit of that going on.
SPEAKER_02: It would be unfair to say we don't.
SPEAKER_02: Because we do have a little bit of that in every ministry.
SPEAKER_02: Because we are human.
SPEAKER_02: But we ought to not start groups up that well, we're the chiding ministry.
SPEAKER_02: We're the murmuring ministry.
SPEAKER_02: We get together over at so-and-so's house, you know, once in a while, and we murmur.
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, our problems need to be corrected, but brethren, you know what?
SPEAKER_02: God got to the place where he's tired of their murmuring and complaining out there in the wilderness and said, I'm done with you.
SPEAKER_02: And our church needs to predominantly be filled with the Spirit and rejoicing over what God's doing and giving him the glory and the praise.
SPEAKER_02: So if you're finding it hard right now to praise or sing or worship or witness, and maybe the noise is not the right kind of noise.
SPEAKER_02: Maybe the right thing to do would be to be able to come to an old-fashioned altar or right where you're at and say, Lord, fill me again.
SPEAKER_02: Give me that spirit that would want to worship you and give you praise.
SPEAKER_02: Please look up here and I finish.
SPEAKER_02: When you hear about someone getting saved, or see someone get baptized, have you lost your joy with it?
SPEAKER_02: When you hear someone stand up and say, hey, listen, I just want to give God the glory, so-and-so got saved.
SPEAKER_02: There was a gal that we've been trying to contact for a couple of weeks.
SPEAKER_02: Uh one of the ladies in our church, it was her friend, and she was just here for a short period of time.
SPEAKER_02: We tried to contact her a number of days, and it had just worked out last week, finally, that this gal who was leaving very, very shortly, we were able to get in contact with her, and she set an appointment with one of our associates.
SPEAKER_02: And I heard later that associate pastor had the opportunity to lead that young lady to Christ in his office.
SPEAKER_02: Now that may not mean anything to you, but to some people it does.
SPEAKER_02: And I was trying to get in contact with that gal for a couple weeks, and boy, when I heard that, there was just a little bit of something that rolled up inside of me, and I said, Amen.
SPEAKER_02: That's good.
SPEAKER_02: Thank God he God tracked her down.
SPEAKER_02: God sought her and drew her in.
SPEAKER_02: God used somebody to get the gospel to her.
SPEAKER_02: You say, Well, I don't know what there's to rejoice about.
SPEAKER_02: The angels rejoiced that day.
SPEAKER_02: Bible says there's joy in heaven.
SPEAKER_02: Shouldn't there be joy in the church?
SPEAKER_02: Now wait a minute.
SPEAKER_02: You say, well, somewhere along the line it's just got old.
SPEAKER_02: Then the problem is the filling of the Holy Spirit has leaked out.
SPEAKER_02: We mean leaked out.
SPEAKER_02: That's not theological.
SPEAKER_02: The power is gone.
SPEAKER_02: The salvation's still there.
SPEAKER_02: Still sealed.
SPEAKER_02: But the power of the joy is gone.
SPEAKER_02: He must have been grieved.
SPEAKER_02: Hey, twenty-three ladies got saved! It's hot in here.
SPEAKER_02: I don't like him yelling.
SPEAKER_02: Last Sunday night, Monday morning when I got on an airplane, I rejoiced.
SPEAKER_02: Because the hewers of wood and the cutters of timber were out working.
SPEAKER_02: Last Sunday night we saw eight people get baptized.
SPEAKER_02: I went back to a camp meeting last week.
SPEAKER_02: Last meeting I preached was a message that dealt with door knocking and fruit bearing and witnessing and bringing people to church.
SPEAKER_02: And you know what?
SPEAKER_02: It was a camp meeting.
SPEAKER_02: And it was quiet.
SPEAKER_02: And for an hour it was quiet.
SPEAKER_02: And when I gave the invitation, the noise started.
SPEAKER_02: All around me, and there's nothing like there's I don't know how to explain it.
SPEAKER_02: A paycheck doesn't do anything.
SPEAKER_02: There's nothing like seeing God working.
SPEAKER_02: And I'm not talking about some faking disgenuan.
SPEAKER_02: I'm talking about people coming forward.
SPEAKER_02: And the noise that I heard was God moving on hearts.
SPEAKER_02: And I told him, I'm not the greatest soul winner going, I'm not the greatest door knocker going, but that doesn't make it wrong or right as far as what we should be doing.
SPEAKER_02: The Bible says.
SPEAKER_02: And they came and they wept and they hugged.
SPEAKER_02: And a pastor stood up and said, We're going to get something going.
SPEAKER_02: And it was on that message about putting some rocks in our bag and giving some plans.
SPEAKER_02: Last Sunday morning's message.
SPEAKER_02: And there was another person that stood up and gave a testimony.
SPEAKER_02: And afterwards, some people came up to me and said, We're going to get something going.
SPEAKER_02: And I said, Don't do it for me, do it for the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: See, brethren, there can be noise and it can be, please look up here, empty of the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_02: A rock band could get up here and play tonight and call it church, but that doesn't mean the Holy Spirit's there.
SPEAKER_01: We could be all standing up and somebody says, God's really moving.
SPEAKER_02: And it might be the flesh really moving.
SPEAKER_02: If God's really moving, somebody's going to get saved sooner or later.
SPEAKER_02: If God's really moving, somebody's going to get their life straightened out.
SPEAKER_02: If God's really moving, somebody's going to go to the fields and start working.
SPEAKER_02: If God's really moving, somebody's going to, with a still small voice, under their breath, say, Glory to God, and weep a little bit.
SPEAKER_02: Somebody else is going to shout.
SPEAKER_02: But please look up here and I say this.
SPEAKER_02: But to the Lord it will be a joyful noise.
SPEAKER_02: If it's been a while, don't let it go too long.
SPEAKER_02: If you get in the habit, excuse me, if you get in the habit of the wrong kind of noise coming out, the wrong kind of communication, some of those habits are hard to break because also with it comes pride.
SPEAKER_02: We don't put notches on our belts around here when we win somebody to Christ and then show somebody our belt.
SPEAKER_02: There's nothing wrong with giving a testimony and saying what God's done.
SPEAKER_02: Just don't be lifted up in the wrong way.
SPEAKER_02: Be lifted up in the ways of the Lord.
SPEAKER_02: The Bible says to be that.
SPEAKER_02: But don't be lifted up in the wrong way.
SPEAKER_02: And tonight, if the noise around your house had been the wrong kind of noise, or the noise in your mind has been the wrong kind of noise, maybe tonight what we need is to be filled with the Spirit of God.
SPEAKER_01: In the mountain of his holiness, beautiful for situation.
SPEAKER_02: Some of us need to be filled tonight.
SPEAKER_02: Say excuse me.
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to the altar with your heads bowed and eyes closed.
SPEAKER_02: Why don't you come tonight?
