CCOG: 8-10-25 Sunday Morning Service. Hosting the Glory: When God's Presence Changes Everything

Moses' desperate plea, "Show me thy glory," frames this powerful message about our desperate need for God's authentic presence rather than manufactured religious experiences. In a time when churches increasingly rely on technology and performance to create spiritual atmosphere, we're reminded that without God's glory, our efforts are empty and powerless.

The contrast between Kings Saul and David reveals two approaches to spiritual leadership. Saul, though anointed king, gradually relied on his own judgment rather than divine guidance. His partial obedience in the battle against the Amalekites—sparing King Agag and the best livestock when commanded to destroy everything—demonstrated how we often substitute sacrifice for obedience. Samuel's rebuke still challenges us today: "It is better to obey than to sacrifice."

David, meanwhile, understood that his identity as a worshiper with a harp preceded his role as king with a crown. When he finally ascended to leadership, his first priority wasn't policy or military strength but recovering the Ark of the Covenant—the physical representation of God's presence that had been neglected throughout Saul's reign. Yet even David's story contains a warning when his enthusiasm to bring back the Ark led him to transport it incorrectly, resulting in Uzzah's death when he touched the sacred object.

The narrative takes a remarkable turn when the Ark is temporarily housed in Obed-Edom's home. For three months, this family hosted God's presence with reverence, resulting in overwhelming blessing. This teaches us that when we make intentional space for God's presence and honor it appropriately, transformation naturally follows in every area of life.

As our church approaches its centennial celebration, we're called to commit just 100 seconds daily to focused, intercessory prayer for God's continued presence in our congregation. The revival we've recently experienced—our "Mother's Day miracle"—is just a foretaste of what can happen when God's people genuinely seek His glory above all else.

I'll ask Sister Georgina to put my text up on the screen. There is a reason that I sang I want to know more about my Jesus and I want to know more about my Jesus and I want to know more about my Lord. If you would, real quick, just stand to your feet out of respect for the reading of the word of God. Let's read these words of Moses. And he said I beseech thee, show me thy glory. Moses speaking to God, saying God, show me your glory. Now there's a reason Moses asked God this question. Before you're seated, I want to share this with you. Moses wanted to deepen his understanding of God's nature and God's presence, and he wanted to experience a more profound connection with God. It wasn't for personal gratification, but for reassurance and guidance as he led the Israelites. He was saying, god, if I'm going to do this the way you want it done, I've got to have your glory. If I'm going to serve the way you want me to serve, I got to do it with your glory. If I'm going to preach the way you want me to preach, I got to do it with your glory. If I'm going to preach the way you want me to preach, I got to do it with your glory. If I'm going to sing the way you want me to sing, I can't do it without your glory. If I'm going to worship the way you want me to worship, I can't do it without your glory. If I'm going to feed the hungry the way you want me to feed the hungry, I can't do it without your glory. I came to tell everybody in this room there's nothing we can do without the glory of God. So, having said that, oh God, show us your glory. Show us your glory. Thank you, lord, for your glory. Show us your glory. Thank you, lord, for your word. It is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. It is not a crystal ball into our future. And, lord, let us forever abide by your word and we'll never fail to thank you and praise you and honor you. It's in Jesus' name we pray, and everybody said amen and amen. Show me thy glory, the glory of God, man, isn't it good to experience his glory? Anybody ever experience the glory of God? Oh, y'all sick today I'll preach till three. I'm teasing, you know me by now. I don't need your help to preach, I'm going to preach. Show me your glory. I want a deeper understanding. I want to know more about the Lord. I want to know Lord. I want to know you in a way that I will never leave your presence. I want to know you in a way that your glory is with me when I go to bed at night, when I wake up in the morning, when I go to work, when I go to the store, wherever I go, your glory goes with me. I want my.

Speaker 3: 4:53

We used to sing a song let my life be a light shining out through the night. May I help struggling ones to the fold, spreading cheer everywhere to the sad and the lone. Let my life be a light to some soul. I want to be a light to somebody, whether it be on the workplace. I want to shine my light. Amen. If I'm out in the marketplace and in the culture, I want to shine my light. If I'm at church, I want to shine my light.

Speaker 3: 5:23

Now, it's easy to shine a light at church. Can you turn me up just a little bit? Amen, in both sets if you don't care. Amen, it's easy to shine your light in church, where we come in and we shake hands and we hug necks and we smile and we sing a few songs and we go through the motions and we manufacture a church service. It's easy to shine a light, amen, when you got your Bible tucked up under your arm saying amen, preacher, glory to God, preacher. It's easy to shine a light when the worship team's up here giving you a pep rally and making you feel all kinds of good. But it's not as easy to shine your light, amen, when somebody out in the marketplace cuts you off in traffic, or if somebody takes something that's yours, or somebody says something about you or somebody you love, all of a sudden Amen. Shining that light's not as easy, but we've got to strive to shine our light and, as Moses said, lord, show me thy glory.

Speaker 3: 6:32

Then we come to a place in first Samuel chapter eight, verses 19 and 20. Amen, where Israel has demanded to no longer be ruled by judges. You can go ahead and put those verses up there if you will. I think I sent them to you anyway. 1 Samuel chapter 8, verses 19 and 20. Amen, they no longer wanted to be ruled by judges. They said everybody around us, they are ruled by kings. So go with me. I promise you I'm going somewhere. Just go with me. They said so.

Speaker 3: 7:08

Now we want to be ruled by a king. We want to be like everybody else. We want to look like everybody else, we want to act like everybody. Let me tell you something, church it was never meant for the church to be like everybody else. It was never meant for the church to act like everybody else. You see, we are a royal priesthood and we're a holy nation.

Speaker 3: 7:33

Nevertheless, the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel and they said, nay, but we will have a king over us. In other words, we don't care what God says, we're going to do this our way. We don't care what God says, we're going to do this our way. We will have a king over us. The next verse, verse 20, says that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles. So now, after they've gone against the directions of Samuel, a man who was working through the directions of God, and they said, amen, who was working through the directions of God, and they said we don't care what God says, we're going to have a king because we want to be like everybody else. Amen, we're going to have laser shows because we want to be like everybody else. We're going to have fog machines because we want to be like everybody else. I'm afraid everybody else amen has a manufactured move of the Spirit. I don't want a manufactured, something that's conjured up by man's efforts.

Speaker 3: 8:52

Oh, no I don't need a laser show, I don't need a fog machine, I need the glory of God. Lord, show me your glory. God, lord, show me your glory. I'm not against it if you want to do it, but I'm not going to do it because everybody else does it. Amen. I don't care what the church down the road does, we're just after the glory of God. I don't care what the church up the road does, we just want the glory of God, amen. So they demanded a king. So guess what? They got A. What A king. Amen. They demanded a king, so they got a king. 1 Samuel, chapter 9, saul is appointed Israel's first king. So here now, god gave them what they wanted.

Speaker 3: 9:45

Let me tell you something God will give you what you want. Sometimes you think you know best, sometimes you think you know better than God, and sometimes God will give you what you ask for. Amen. Anybody ever got something you asked for and you didn't want it. After you got it, I got two people in the room and a little one back there Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings. Hath thou perfected praise, amen. So we got a young'un back there that all the adults need to learn a lesson from. I'm gonna ask you one more time have you ever got something you asked for and you regretted getting it? I didn't say your spouse when she nudges you, I didn't say that you took that upon yourself. Sometimes we ask for things because we think we know better than God and we get it. And it doesn't take very long to realize that once we get it. And it doesn't take very long to realize that once we get it, we regret asking for it. Oh, praise God, I'm going somewhere here in just a minute.

Speaker 3: 10:50

So now Saul is the king. He's large and in charge. Amen, he's the king. He's wearing the crown, brother Tim, he's wearing the robe, he's got the title, he's got the crown, he's got it all. But then he runs well at first. Oh God, help me, jesus man, he runs well at first, but something got in there and started hindering him.

Speaker 3: 11:15

I'm going to ask you today, amen, have you ever ran well and something got in there? Come on, be honest, be truthful. Amen. You were on fire for God, you had the fire of God, you had the power of God, but something weaseled its way into your life, amen. And the oil leaked out.

Speaker 3: 11:32

Oh, let me tell you, I preached in some great churches Amen. That over time, the oil started leaking out Amen. There's been times at this place in the last 100 years, amen. There's been times at this place in the last 100 years, amen. That the enemy's tried to come and make the oil leak out. Amen. Be careful that the oil don't leak out. Be careful that, if you're running well, that you keep running well and you keep running well and you keep running well. Don't let the devil come and steal your joy. Don't let the devil come and steal your power. Don't let the devil come and steal your oil. You keep running the race, amen. Keep running the race.

Speaker 3: 12:19

Over time, samuel was doing good, but then we come to chapter 15, where Samuel came to Saul the king and said Saul, god appointed you king because Saul needed a reminder of who put him in the place where he was. Because if we're not careful, amen, we'll get to the place where we think it's from our own efforts and our own hard work. No, no, no, no, we got to work hard, don't get me wrong, we got to operate in excellence. Amen, I'm just no. No, we got to work hard. No, no, don't get me wrong, we got to operate in excellence, amen. I'm just here to tell you I don't know if people just don't see things like some of us see things Amen. You're going to know what I'm talking about. It's almost open house. This was a few years ago. It's almost open house, opening day of school. My front yard looks like a jungle.

Speaker 3: 13:25

I think those things matter. I think appearance of things matters, amen. When you come into a church and the carpet's ripped, or you come into a church and the pews are torn, or you come into a church, amen, and everything is in disarray. I think those things matter, you see, because a lot of times we get so busy beautifying our own homes that we leave the house of God lying in ruin. That's why I think it is very important that our chairs are straight and they're not crooked. That's why I think it's very important that our offering plates are symmetrical. That's why I think it is very important, amen, that we operate in excellence, because we host the presence of God. I'm going Just go with me.

Speaker 3: 14:10

So Saul got to where he thought he could do this on his own. Then Samuel enters the room and says I'm going to paraphrase the whole chapter and says this God made you who you are. God made you what you are. So the next time you think it's because of your looks or your last name or your talent or your ability, let me remind you today it was God who put you where you are. Amen, preacher, I'm just this, or I'm just that. You can call it just whatever you want to, but God placed you where you are, and you do it as unto God and not as unto man, because it's God who put you where you are and you do it as unto God and not as unto man, because it's God who puts you where you are.

Speaker 3: 15:11

So the Amalekites, saul, have been running their mouths way too long. We're tired of listening to the Amalekites. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to get an army. And here's what God said to do.

Speaker 3: 15:30

Samuel, talking to Saul, god said take your army and wipe them out. Men, women, boys, girls, donkeys, camels, pigeons, cows you name it. Annihilate all of it, wipe it all out. That's what God says to do. So King Saul adjusts his crown because he lost the authority long before he lost the crown. I don't care what your nameplate says, I don't care what your title says. You can't do this without the anointing.

Speaker 3: 16:20

I'm tired of manufactured church services, manufactured preachers and manufactured worship teams. I'm tired of manufactured church services, manufactured preachers and manufactured worship teams. I'm tired of us doing it by talent and pay grade. Amen. We need men and women back in our pulpits and behind our musical instruments and I thank God that we've got that here, but I'm telling you, not everywhere has that there. Amen. And it's time that we get the fire of God back in the pulpit and back on the platform. Amen. I said we need the fire back in the pulpit and back. Tell you what, if y'all don't start helping me, I'm going to Macedonia and staying them. People preached me to where I about died three times and then offered me collard greens and ham. When it's over, y'all got any collard greens and ham to offer a brother. Then you better give me an amen somewhere. Amen, thank God, amen.

Speaker 3: 17:11

So Saul gets his army together About 200, give or take about 200,000 men and they go get ready to attack Amalek. And in the middle, mixed in Amalek. So we're going to pretend like this side is Amalek, but intertwined within Amalek are some Kenites that Samuel and Saul had been good to them. So they gave them fair warning get out before we destroy Amalek. So the Kenites got out and they scattered and they ran and all that was left now was the Amalekites. So Saul goes with his army. Oh, I can't wait to get where I'm going.

Speaker 3: 17:55

Saul goes with his army and he does a decent job. He kills the men, the women, the boys and the girls, all of the cattle, all of the animals, all of the livestock. He kills, except he gets Agag, the king of Amalek, and brings him with him and says I'm going to spare you because you're a strong, wise, purposeful leader and I think we can use you later. So he pulled him out I'm not going to use any of you for cattle. But he also took the best cattle that he could use for his own good and he spared the best cattle and he brought it to the side. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Saul. Samuel shows up, amen.

Speaker 3: 18:58

Saul no doubt saw Samuel coming and he sent Agag, the king of Amalek, back. He said now go and hide somewhere. Here comes Samuel, and Saul says hey, I've done everything God said do. Samuel said well, it's funny, you mention it because you might fool me, but I heard from God, because you might fool me, but I heard from God. And God said you spared the king and he should have been the first one you killed. You spared the king, and you not only spared the king. And Saul said hold on a minute, I've done exactly what I was told to do. Samuel said shut your mouth and listen. You spared the king and you spared the best cattle, amen. And you were specifically told to take out all of it.

Speaker 3: 19:55

So Saul got this idea he could do this with his own intelligence. So before you leave today, I want you to remember you can't do this on your own. Well, I think if I do it, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If God said yes, it's a yes. If God said no, it's a no, it's not a maybe. There's not a gray area, there's not a fence straddling, there's not a lukewarm. You either hot or you either cold, but when you lukewarm, you're either cold, but when you lukewarm, you're lost. We had a bunch of people that was too hot to be cold, too cold to be hot. So the next time you go, try to. So Saul still wore the crown, but he lost the authority. You might still have the title, but do you still possess the anointing?

Speaker 3: 20:52

I believe people can overstay their limits and I believe people can do things that try to negotiate with God. You cannot negotiate with God, but I felt like it would be better. Nobody asked you how you felt about it. What did God say about it? And I'm afraid that's what we're doing with the Word of God. We've compromised it, we've watered it down to where the old matriarchs and patriarchs in the old church yes, they might have lived by a lot of tradition, but they did it from a heart of sincerity. They did it from a heart of wanting to please God. They did it from a heart of wanting to see the church do well, amen. And over time we've compromised. We've allowed the church to get worldly and the world to get churchy.

Speaker 3: 21:34

And it's happened right under our noses. So King Saul is given the boot. You ain't king no more. 1 Samuel 16,. I'm not going to go there. I've been there and I'm not going to go there again. God tells Samuel to go to Jesse's house because we need a new king. Go to Jesse's house, saul, or Samuel goes to Jesse's house. He tries out six of his sons. He's not the one. Hey, let me go back and a very important point. I got to give you real quick Pause. Go back, rewind.

Speaker 3: 22:14

First Samuel 15. Here's what Saul said to Samuel I spared the good cattle so we could sacrifice the good cattle to your God. You with me, remember he spared the good cattle. He said but Samuel, I spared the good cattle so we could sacrifice. Somebody say sacrifice, somebody say sacrifice One more time. Somebody say sacrifice so we can sacrifice them to your God. He didn't say our God, he said to your God. Samuel said but that's not what you were told to do. You've disobeyed.

Speaker 3: 22:50

Have you ever quoted this scripture? That's when Samuel said to Saul boy, it is better to obey than to. That's where you get it. That's where it's at. It's in 1 Samuel 15. That's where that verse of Scripture is. It sounds good, it looks good and that's probably good cattle to offer for a sacrifice. But your sacrifice is worthless. It's no good. You might as well forget it, because you disobeyed so a lot of times. We try to override disobedience with being good by offering a sacrifice. Let me tell you something. It's better to obey. It's better for the ones in the back that can't hear me. It is better to obey. It's better for the ones in the back that can't hear me. It is better to obey than to just do what he says. Just do what he says.

Speaker 3: 23:49

1 Samuel 16. It's none of the first six. His own dad didn't even have confidence in him. Samuel says is this all? No, I got one more. Tendon to the sheep. Woo, woo, woo. Tendon to the sheep. We've shouted about that for a month.

Speaker 3: 24:06

We all know David comes in. That's the one he anoints him. And the Bible says and the spirit of the Lord was on David from that day forward. Little did David know the spirit of the Lord was upon him long before he came into his father's house. Let me tell you something. The favor of God is on your life. The favor of God is on your life and some of you don't even know it. You're walking in favor because what the enemy wanted to do was take you out. But because the favor of God was upon your life when the community counted you out, when your parents counted you out, when your parents counted you out, when everybody else counted you out, the favor of God was upon your. I'm telling you, it may be years before you even see it and know it. And I came to prophesy to you and you and all of you and all of the favor of God is on your life. Hey, I'll even take it a step further. I'm not even saved preacher, I don't care. The favor of God is on your life. Hallelujah, hallelujah. So David anoints him with oil. The Spirit of God gets on him.

Speaker 3: 25:24

But before David had a crown and a robe, he had a harp and a song. Oh, I said, before David wore the crown and the robe, he had a song and a harp. My God, I'm afraid some people get so big for their britches or their denim skirts or whatever you wear. Amen, I'm not splitting hairs on that today. Amen. But don't you ever forget Before the favor of God was upon your life. You were a worshiper, you were a server, you were one who trusted him and depended upon him. Don't let the crown and the robe Make you forget about the harp and the song Amen. So before David ever wore the king's crown, he had a worshiping harp and he went. When the spirit of the Lord came upon him, sister Reba, he went everywhere singing little David, play on your harp, hallelujah, hallelujah. He was a worshiper and a harp player. Sometimes we get the crown and we discard the harp and we forget that it's the harp that brought us to the crown, amen. So the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. They put a crown on his head and a robe around his shoulders, but that didn't change the fact that he played on his harp and he sang songs of Zion when David became king. Finally, years later, david finally becomes king because there's a period of time where he's still under Saul's reign.

Speaker 3: 27:31

When David finally becomes king, he makes an executive order. You know what an executive order is. For some reason, boone is the only one Mayor Boone. I have a feeling Mayor Boone has signed some executive orders and an executive order usually when the president whoever it is I'm not getting into that either. I don't care if you're a donkey or an elephant. I identify with the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. You can stay with your donkey, you can stay with your elephant. You can stay with your red, you can stay with your blue. I'm going to identify with the lamb which is white as snow. Amen, so, so, so, so, whatever. I'm not even talking. Talking about that. But anytime a president is sworn in, the first thing he does is sign executive orders, usually overriding what the other guy did. And we wonder why everybody else can't get along when the head, when the head, people sitting behind that desk can't get along anyway. So they signed executive orders, which means I've got the power to do this. David signed an executive order, brother Steve, just one.

Speaker 3: 28:51

Because the whole time, during Saul's reign, nobody asked you ready, nobody asked you ready, nobody asked when is the glory. Because during Saul's reign, the Ark of the Covenant. Do you care to put a picture of the Ark of the Covenant JC? Can I borrow your box drum here? So, the Ark of the Covenant, a very smaller replica here that we're going to use today, if you don't mind, is a wooden box, somebody say wooden, wooden. That describes God's humanity. It's overlaid with gold. Somebody say gold. Gold. That signifies God's deity. So in this box is God's humanity, wrapped in God's deity.

Speaker 3: 29:48

Inside that box are three items Aaron's rod that budded. It budded a flower at the end of it. That signifies life. There was life in Aaron's rod. There was a golden jar of manna inside that box. Do you know what that manna? That golden jar of manna, represented God's provision. So inside the box, so far we've got life and provision. But there was another thing inside that box. It was called the Ten Commandments. So Aaron's rod, which budded, signified life, is in that box, a golden jar of manna that he fed them out in the wilderness. They got a jar of it. Put it in that box. That signified God's provision. And then a copy of the Ten Commandments was in box. That signified God's provision. And then a copy of the Ten Commandments was in that box, which signifies God's Word. So in order to make it, we've got to have life, provision and the Word. And that box was the earthly representation of the presence or the glory of God. See those poles going through those golden rings.

Speaker 3: 31:04

It was said in the Old Testament, early in the Old Testament, that the only way somebody say, the only way Somebody say the only way. Only way you can transport this is the Levite priests would get on the end of it and transport it wherever it went. So the Levite priests had to take it everywhere it went. That was the only way that God said it could be transported was on the shoulders of holy praising people. Remember that. Remember that the only way the presence of God could move was on the shoulders of holy praising people.

Speaker 3: 31:53

Sometime during Saul's reign, the Philistines came and stole it. They came and stole it and they and stole it and they took it and they hid it away. And, brother Steve, the whole time the Philistines had it, bad things happened. Because, let me tell you something, this world and sinner people were not and are not equipped to steal the presence of God. Amen. And for the entire reign of King Saul, nobody asked the question where is the glory? Because they became so used to living without it. Amen, god, help me. Jesus. Oh, church of God, church of God, church of God. We cannot make it one day without the glory of, we can't have church without the glory, and we've got too many churches and people trying to do this without the presence of God.

Speaker 3: 33:07

David is crowned king. He signs an executive order, king David, aka worshiper. And here's what we're going to do we're going to find the presence, we're not going to rest, we're not going to sleep, we're not going to sleep, we're not going to eat, we're not going to drink until we find the presence. And when we find the presence, we're going to bring the presence back to where it belongs. So, boys, here's the executive order. Don't you stop until we find the presence. So they found it. They found it and for one time, one time I have you repeat after me because you'll remember it Somebody say one time, one time, for some reason I wanted to dance right there. Just one time, one time. Anyway, for one time, for the first time, david doesn't consult God on how to bring the presence back to Jerusalem. Let me say that again, for the first time, david doesn't consult God, he does it his own way. And he said if the Philistines can steal it on new carts and big wheels, then we can go get it back on new carts and big wheels.

Speaker 3: 35:07

So they loaded the Ark of the Covenant up on a brand new bed trailer, brother Jason. They hitched it to some camels. Brand new trailer, bro Jason. They hitched it to some camels. Brand new trailer. Baby, oh, it had it, no doubt was like them things. You see down yonder at Tractor Supply. How big, how big are we talking? Tell me the biggest one they got. Come on, come on. Six by yeah, that what he said. Six by what? 14. I'm assuming that's 14 feet long, six feet wide. They show up and it's got wheels Brand new Michelin, whitewashed wheels. Baby, y'all like the way I act, like I know what I'm talking about, amen. So I walk over here with the rest of these people don't know what they're talking about. Notice, I ain't talking to Kayla and Jason. I actually should probably do this. Anyway, because the Philistines stole it this way, then we'll just bring it on back this way. I have a funny feeling.

Speaker 3: 36:15

When David and his people arrived, the Philistines were ready to get rid of that thing, because the whole time they had that thing, nothing but cursing was upon them, because you can't mishandle the presence of God. So here they go, they're bringing that thing back to Jerusalem. David's, where's his harp? Did I get rid of my harp? I don't know what I did with my harp. Here comes David, baby leading the charge. He's got his harp. Got his harp. Got his harp, got his harp. Amen, he's dancing. They're willing that thing in.

Speaker 3: 36:57

They hit a bump in the road. They hit a bump in the road. You know it's God when you hit a bump in the road and it keeps going. You know it's not God when you hit a bump in the road and it ends. Everybody's going to hit a bump in the road. They hit a bump in the road. The tambourine quit, the harp quit, the singing quit, the rejoicing quit Because the ark started wobbling. The presence was unsecure. That'll preach right there.

Speaker 3: 37:31

Uzzah comes up, come here, uzzah. Uzzah comes up as it's rocking back and forth. Uzzah comes up, he it's rocking back and forth. Uzzah comes up, he puts his hands on it, bam To the ground, flat down to the ground, dead. Dead Because the bump in the road. Wait a minute.

Speaker 3: 37:56

Uzzah was trying to do a good thing. Yeah, you can intend to do a good thing. Yeah, you can intend to do a good thing. It ain't about your intentions. I said it's not about your intentions. We got a lot of people intending to do this and intending to do that and it never gets done. And even though his intentions were good, it killed him because he mishandled the presence of God. Hold on a minute, brother Brock. Hold on a minute. Why in the world? Why in the world would the Philistines be able to steal it and it not kill them? But Uzzah touches it and it kills him, because sinners are sinners. I've heard Brother Brett say sinners are going to act like sinners. Sinners are going to live like sinners. So don't be surprised when a sinner sins.

Speaker 3: 38:51

It's different when somebody is churchy and claims to have something. Oh, I might be preaching on some of us today. They got to name it, claim it religion. They serve God when it's convenient. They serve God when things are good. They serve God when things are convenient. I don't know what you'd do if Sunday school was on Friday school. I don't know what you'd do if morning worship was on Saturday night. You'd have some hard decisions to make, because when I was growing up we had church Saturday night, sunday morning, sunday night, ype'd on Wednesday, prayer meeting on Thursday. We'd visit a church on Friday. We was everywhere because we wasn't of the world, we were God's people. There's a difference in carrying it off when a sinner and when somebody that says there's something mishandles it.

Speaker 3: 39:58

So, david, I'm about to close David is tore up from the floor up. He don't know what to do. He is baffled. Here is the Ark of the Covenant, it's killed, a man. We don't know what to do. What do we do next? God help us, god show us what do we do. And he said, while I'm thinking about it, while I'm trying to figure out what to do, there's a house over there. Take it over there. So there's a man that lives over here by the name of Obed Edom. You don't hear a whole lot about Obed-Edom. You don't hear a whole lot about Obed-Edom. Stay there, Uzzah. So one of David's men run over to the house. Obed-edom runs to the door and says Can I help you? He said yes, sir, I'm with King David's people and we need to know.

Speaker 3: 41:06

We need to know Can we house this here for just a little bit. And, obed-edom, I wasn't there, but you wasn't either. Obed-edom looks out the door and he sees a dust pile. He sees dust flying and underneath that dust is laying a six-foot-five man that touched the glory. Sir, is that man out there dead? Yeah, he is Well. Well, exactly, how did he die? Well, you see, he touched, he mishandled. You ain't allowed to mishandled. You ain't allowed to mishandle the glory, you ain't allowed to take the glory for granted. I'm afraid there's a whole lot of people in this room that takes the glory for granted. You see, he touched it in a way it wasn't supposed to be touched and you want me to house that after what happened to him? Oh, but Eddom worshiped God. He was a God worshiper. To make a long story short, obed-edom agreed, he agreed. So, obed-edom, come back in. I need you to change roles. Come here Leanne, come here Leakate, come here Obed-Edom. Lay there, jared, you're Obed-Edom, or, I'm sorry, you're Uzzah. You're Uzzah, you dead boy. Okay.

Speaker 3: 43:23

So Obed Edom called a family meeting and said listen, folks, here's how it is. Everybody knows. Sister Leanne, first Lady, work all day, teach school all day. Matter of fact, she messaged me the other day and said I think I'm having a stroke. I said I'm on my way. She said, no, I'll be fine. Okay, by the way. She said, no, I'll be fine. Okay, but as soon as she gets home it's. We talked about this a little bit last night. It was it's never, hey, we talk later, but it's like sometimes I time it it's a game to see how long between I hear the door shut and the vacuum start, to see how long between I hear the door shut and the vacuum start. She reminds me all the time there's not another woman in the world that I could have like her. She's probably right. So from the time I hear the door close, just enough time to get to the vacuum cleaner. I hear slam all the time dusting and cleaning.

Speaker 3: 44:43

But Obed-Edom had to meet with his family and say Honey, I hope Sister Obed-Edom is not like Sister Carter, because Brother Obed-Edom says to Sister Obed-Edom is not like Sister Carter, because Brother Obed-Edom says to Sister Obed-Edom, you can't vacuum and you can't dust that thing. I hope I'll say again, I hope Sister Obed-Edom is different than Sister Carter, because if there's dust on that thing, she's dusting that thing. If there's dog hair around the bottom of that thing. She's going to vacuum that thing. She's dusting that thing. If there's dog hair around the bottom of that thing, she's going to vacuum that thing. Then he went to Junior Obed-Edom and said now, son, stand over here, you two stand over here. Son, you can't throw your socks. Anybody got teenage boys. You can't throw your dirty clothes and your dirty towels and your dirty socks. You can't throw it on that. Amen, amen.

Speaker 3: 45:49

Sister Sally Obed-Edom, sister Sally Obed-Edom, you can't lay your camera and your Diet Coke can on this thing. You just can't. Had to have a family meeting. Pick it up, jc. Now, mr Obed-Edom, you can't go, sit on it and kick your feet up, because this ain't your recliner boy. Recliner boy, that was prophetic. You don't even know it. You can't touch it. Read it for yourself. It's in 2 Samuel 6. Read it for yourself.

Speaker 3: 46:42

And the whole three, four months that they hosted the presence, praxis tests got passed, started learning to play the drums and the guitar and the piano and everything, put his hands on and doors started opening, got some appointments to take pictures and senior pictures and God has calmed some fears of going into a new school. That revival breaks out. Amen, doors open, ways are made. Why? Because when you host the presence I said, when you host the, I'm not saying bad things won't happen, because they will, but the good will outweigh the bad. When you invite and you host and you house the presence. I'm telling somebody today you need to open your door and welcome the presence of God in your home. Why is God not moving? You're not hosting the presence. Why is God?

Speaker 3: 47:53

not blessing You're not hosting the presence. Why is God not blessing? You're not hosting the presence? You've got to open the door and host the presence. Hallelujah, hallelujah. While he was telling them, hallelujah, hallelujah. While he was telling them all that they looked out the window and saw the dust still flying and they saw Uzzah Laying there.

Speaker 3: 48:28

If you want to learn the drums, the piano and the guitar, don't mishandle the presence. If you want to pass the PLT and the math, don't mishandle the presence. If you want your fears to be calmed and you want doors to open with your hobby of photography, don't you mishandle the presence. If you need a healing in your home, don't you mishandle the presence. If you need a healing in your home, don't you mishandle the presence. If you need favor upon your home, don't you mishandle the presence. Us is a reminder that you don't mishandle the presence. You must be reverent in fear and admonition of the presence of God.

Speaker 3: 49:19

You see, we don't share a lot about our personal lives with you, but there's things he went through that he needed God to move in. There's things that she went through she needed God to move in. There's things she went through. She needed God to move in. There were things.

Speaker 3: 49:49

I was going through that I needed God to move in and we decided, if God's going to move, we got to host. We got to host his presence, we got to welcome his presence. You wonder why. Maybe things are as rough as they are. It might be, and listen, it wasn't that we wasn't saved, it wasn't that we wasn't pastoring you, but sometimes God has to get you to the point where you need his presence more than you need the next air you breathe. You need his presence. More than you need the next meal you eat. You need his presence. More than you need the next thing you drink. You need his presence more.

Speaker 3: 50:27

So I came to tell somebody today you need his presence more than you've ever. If you need anybody in here need God to move, wave your hand in the air like you're just okay. You need God to do. I'm telling you host and house his presence. Thank you we. And the only reason I say we is because I know about us. We are a walking testimony. Thank you, uzzah. We are a walking testimony of what God had to bring us to to get us through. We've never been in the Word like we're in the.

Speaker 3: 51:15

Word. We've never been on our knees like we're on our knees, because even the best of you, if you're not careful, you'll think you can do it without the presence. So, while Tyler, y'all come back. So while nobody ever inquired of the presence during Saul's reign, the first thing David did when he took over was he signed an executive decree that said we're going to get the presents. Kaywood Church of God. Listen to me, in 2026, should the Lord tarry and let me interject this if the Lord returns before then, it would not shock me. But if the Lord tarries August, september, october, november, december, six more months we will celebrate 100 years on this piece of land that God has been working wonders. Oh, if people could tell the stories of how the enemy has tried to shut the doors, tried to shut the doors, tried to create chaos, tried to create scandals, but God always saw this place through, because it was birthed from a place of his presence.

Speaker 3: 52:52

It was birthed from four people praying. Show us your glory, not for our own good, but for the greater good of our community and our county and our state and our country. Show us your glory. I got something I want you to do with me. Will you do it with me? Starting in the morning, starting tomorrow I don't care when To commemorate 100 years. I want you to spend 100 seconds that's a minute and 40 seconds. 100 seconds to focused, targeted intercession and prayer for this church. For 100 seconds to commemorate 100 years. Can you commit to a minute and 40 seconds of focused, targeted, intentional and 40 seconds of focused, targeted, intentional, intercessory prayer for this church? You know why I ask you to do that? Because there are generations sitting in these pews that we're going to be gone one day. Should the Lord tarry, we're going to be gone one day, and it's going to be them. It's going to be gone one day. Should the Lord tarry? We're going to be gone one day, and it's going to be them. It's going to be them.

Speaker 3: 54:18

Can you commit to me one minute and 40 seconds, 100 seconds, of focused prayer every single day for this church? Will you commit that with me? Will you commit that with me. I want to see your hands if. Will you commit that with me. Will you commit that with me? I want to see your hands if you will commit that with me, but don't commit it if you can't do it. Preacher, I don't even go to church there. I don't care where you go to church. I need you to spend 100 seconds with me on this place, right here. 100 seconds. I'm not going to let you forget about it. I promise you that. 100 seconds, I'm not going to let you forget about it. I promise you that. One minute and 40 seconds of intercessory, targeted, purposeful, intentional, focused prayer for the church. You do that and you think this revival we just experienced I call it the Mother's Day miracle you think that was good. If you'll pray 100 seconds with me, starting in the morning, it's no telling what God will do.

Speaker 1: 55:41
