for me got my notes right here so I'm looking down it's at the notes I'm just going to pray and hope that you guys would buy your heads and pray with me push yourself and the father thank you for everything Lord thank you for life and every good and perfect gift thank you for your message that you brought to us Lord please leave me in the way you want me to go speak yourself Lord my voice is insufficient but what I do have I give unto you I Surrender myself completely over to your father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ may we hear from you amen all right hello everybody thanks for coming I wanted to go through a few things little study that I've been doing on why we are preacher and also about how you know conversations with a girl should go and stuff like that you know I think you know I wonder how our brothers and sisters in Haiti or Ukraine who would look at us I would want them to view us as Sons and Daughters of God because life is very real for them Russia is literally bombing Ukraine so life is very real very reality and if I'm not able to make this edifying I most certainly will stop it my goal is to be edif edifying to help that is my intention and my motive for the Branham said in God's only provided place of worship is the softer of this book I can't think of it now made so much fun of me and said of all the Devils it's William Branham see that's what the devil tries to say he said visions and things said that's of the devil he said or he's some kind of a hypnotist or working in some super sensory perception the intellectual World always trying to figure it out that's where they tried to figure out Jesus how do you do these things what done it he said ask you a question was the ministry of John the Baptist was it of God or was it of man see said we can't say so neither do I tell you that's right they went on from henceforth no man asked him anything see he just cut them off he didn't tell them nothing about it none of their business he had work to do and he finished it God helped us to do the same thing we don't we don't have to answer the devil's questions that's right if thou be do so and so you're responsible for that gospel a preacher is and that's all not how it's written it's just responsible for saying it and as a servant if you're a prophet you're responsible to God and if the visions that comes it lightens the scripture and shows what it is you're responsible for every word that's in that Bible because it was all wrote by the same kind of people you are God of old moved by the prophets and wrote the the Holy Bible see and no genuine prophet of God could deny one word of it but believe every word and preach the same and then God's obligated out of that channel to make that word come to pass just exactly the way it's promised the seed will grow ministers aren't Supermen we aren't given some simple special superhuman ability for The Brownstone perfect strength but perfect weakness I've often said the greatest enemy I got is William Graham he's the one that gets in God's way he's the one that gets lazy he's the one that gets to a place sometimes where he thinks that he can do something about it and when he does that shoves God right out of the picture but when I can get rid of that guy when I can get to a place that he is out of the way then God can come over and do things that William Branham knows nothing about that's when God can use you that's when he can use any of you he can use anybody when we get out of the way but as long as we get ourselves in the way then we cannot all right so whenever I would portray or show that I'm a preacher it's not about myself I'm just want to do what God has led me to do I'm not anybody special the only thing I can do is get myself out of the way so that God can speak that's my intention brother Brenham said and the rejected King the Holy Spirit wants you to live Godly every day in the week and every night separating yourselves from the things of the world but the church don't want that they want some man who can who can interpret the Bible the way they want to hear it they won't listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking through the Bible many of them want to say the days of Miracles past and that's what tickles the people they want to say there's no baptism of the Holy Spirit the people don't want to act any different than what the rest of the world acts they don't want to get on the street and to have their face washed and and men with clean countenance and not cigarettes in their mouth and cigars and pipes and the things that men do and women wants their hair cut up real short and little dresses on and of showing their forms and things that they want they they want men who will tell them that's all right then the other night here come a man to tell me that because that I had preached against such that a great denomination about five of them said we'll drop brother random have nothing else to do with him you'll either call those shapes back and apologize for them or we'll drop you I said I'll stand with God's word if it takes everything that's in my life I'll remain with the word and I so well should you not call not shouldn't you call back such and such a tape I said I have never preached anything in my life that I was ashamed of I call back no tapes or no records I remain with what the holy spirit says that I live by and die by not trying to say about myself now but I'm just trying to give you an illustration of what's going on so you will see and understand it's people wants to be led by men so guys when I say I'm a preacher I am saying that I am doing what God called me to do it's the hardest thing in my life I have talked people out of suicide I have physically stopped people from killing themselves I have convinced people not to kill other people and to kill themselves many times I have stayed up for five days straight I've almost died of drowning I've been through surgeries while I was awake the hardest thing in my life is preaching we're truly in my I'm trying my best to do what God has called me to do and I just get critiqued and criticized and it's it's very hard on me so whenever I say how I'm a preacher it's not to do with me I just want to help the same with song leading I know people don't like things that are preached or things that I say but if every sermon I ever preach in my entire life only saves one person then it's worth it same with song Living not to work people up or whatever else but I'm trying when I song it I try to pull people into worship with me because you know they follow the song leader preaching and song leading are the greatest honors in my life and there's nothing else that I would rather be doing it's the greatest honor in my life there's just nothing else that's more important than the Lord Jesus Christ in my life he's number one and if you think that I'm going off as like oh David's going on about being a preacher I'm sorry I don't mean to come off that way I just want to talk about what Jesus has done for me and I'm not anybody at all my only thing I do is just yield to the Lord Jesus Christ so you pray for me now on to the second part of this interaction with girls now there's a small note before I get into the meat of it I want to I want to go over this usually we say it was the guy pursuing the girl and I agree with that or that it's the guy that always introduces himself to the girl and there's no circumstance where uh where a guy should ever and or where a girl should ever introduce herself to a guy in the book of First Samuel chapter 25 and verse 23 the Bible says and when Abigail saw David she hasted and landed off the ass and fell before David on her face and battered herself to the ground and fell at his feet and said upon me my Lord upon me let this iniquity be let that handmade I pray thee speak and thine audience and hear the words of thy handmaid and David said to Abigail blessed be the Lord God of Israel which sent thee this day to meet me and when David heard that nabal was dead he said blessed be the Lord that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of nabal and hath kept his servant from evil for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of nabal upon his own head and David sent a commune with Abigail to take her to him to wife so my point is is not always does a guy be the one to say hi I'm so and so to talk to a girl sometimes it's the girl who initiates the initial contact but of course then if you notice here in the last service and David sent and communed with Abigail to take her to him to wife but initially God sent her to him to meet him that's just a thought brother Branham said in communion 1961. we can receive the message as saying if I was a young man and and hunting for a wife and I could find a wife I said she's just perfect she's a Christian she's a lady she's all this and I got confidence no matter how much confidence how much I think she's nice I've got to receive her she's got to receive me see upon these vows well it's the same thing we find it is the message we see it's right we see God vindicates its right it's perfectly right year after year year after year it continues right continues right everything it says happens just exactly the way he said now we know it's right but see don't do it from an intellectual standpoint I'll say the last one again no we know it's right but C don't do it from an intellectual standpoint I don't like to say the r-i-z-z word because it's a worldly word when you look up the definition you can't even you wouldn't read it in church I don't like to say dating because really that's the world's term and really it's courting you can call it recording or pre-cording whatever this message courting isn't a social game or an intellectual game it's a spiritual battle yes be the man God wants you to be strong be diligent be competent and be able to do things have a job have a sense of style and have your life together be out of debt I believe that a guy should be in shape and have a plan for your wife if you want to be a if you want to find a wife become a husband yes have conversations with girls you know someone said oh well yeah you're predestinated to find a wife but you that's wrong to say that since you're predestinated you never have to say hi to girls what I have to say hi to girls of course you do that's part of it and I still completely believe that with all my heart and soul and you do have conversations with a girl portray confidence and be yourself have fun make jokes be humorous have hobbies be fun to be around have a conversation but more than anything else any man looking for a wife should portray the Lord Jesus Christ God has a wife predestinated for every man and a husband predestinated for every woman I got people requesting to follow me they probably want to join the live so I'll let them join mom loved loves dad and my dad loves my mom I ask my mom today mom did you really like dad because he was better at trying to game you up better than any other guy she was like oh my God no I have had boys try to do that to me my entire life I love dad because he was sincere and he loved me when you meet the one I believe that there's a supernatural event and yeah you introduce yourself to each other and you get the conversation flowing and it's a beautiful amazing thing and the thing about if it's to be the guy isn't the only one keeping the conversation flowing I would even say that girls are better at conversations than guys are in some ways once you identify something Mutual or even something you disagree with disagreeing the conversation just flows and it's an amazing and a beautiful thing you know I watch Sarah and Dominique fight and go after each other and also I watch them have amazing conversations I watched Anna and Alex fall in love I watched Amy leave I Fall In Love and one day I'll watch Ruth fall in love with whoever she will marry when you meet the one you're both trying to keep the conversation flowing because you both like each other not only does the guy like the girl the girl likes the guy and this isn't a game when we're married we'll be living with our wife having kids and raising them in the admonition of the Lord I once her brother Howard Carroll preach back when he was still the pastor of his church and he preached that one of the reasons why God created us was to reproduce himself so when you get married and you have kids you are reproducing God so when I get married I've been living with my wife having kids and raising them in the admonition of the Lord that'll be a beautiful time brother Branham said that the greatest weapon God ever gave us is prayer and I believe that the power of Prayer is a more effective than any social technique standard social skill money good looks or anything else there's nothing more valuable or nothing more effective in finding the one God picked for you than prayer you know we're always fighting demons you know the most effective weapon in the battle to find a wife or to find a husband prayer Proverbs chapter 18 whoso findeth the wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth the favor of the Lord proverbs 31 who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far above Ruby's the heart of her husband to safely trust in her so that she he shall have no need spoil she will do him good and not evil all the days of her life verse 25 strengthen honor are her clothing she shall rejoice in time to come she openeth her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness so I would say to any girl that when she's you know rejecting a guy trying to talk to her anything like that remember she openeth her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness she looketh well to the ways of her household and Edith not the bread of idleness her children arise up and color blessed her husband also and he prayseth her many daughters have done virtuously but thou excellus them all favor is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised Giver of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates Proverbs chapter 3. in verse 5. trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lay not unto thine own understanding and all thy ways acknowledge Him and He Shall direct thy paths Psalms chapter 37 fret not thyself because of evildoers neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity for they shall soon be cut down like the grass the Wither is the green herb trust in the Lord and do good so shalt thou dwell in the land and verily Thou shalt be fed Delight thyself also in the Lord and He Shall give Thee the desire desires of thine heart commit thy way unto the Lord trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass brother Branham said in the baptism of the Holy Spirit listen there's one woman sitting there's fine nice looking beautiful women sitting in this church this morning young women middle-aged women old women they're all fine there's somebody's wife Somebody's Daughter somebody's sweetheart so forth there everyone there's one Mrs Branham setting here your everyone women but there's one Mrs William Branham she is the one goes home with me she is the one is my sweetheart she is the one that's raising my children there's many fine churches in the world today but there's one Mrs Jesus that's bringing forth the real true born-again creatures of God brother Branham said the choosing of a bride I go to a man's office and he says he's a Christian pin-ups all around on the walls that old Boogie Woogie music going on I don't care what he says I don't believe his testimony because his spirit is feeding on them things of the world what say if he would marry a course girl or what if he would marry a sex Queen or just a pretty modern Regatta it reflects it shows what he has in his mind or what his future home is going to be because he's took her to raise his children by and whatever she is that's the way she'll raise those children so it reflects what's in the man the man that takes a woman like that shows just what he's thinking of the future could you imagine a Christian doing a thing like that no sir I could not true Christian will not look for such beauty queens and coarse girls and sex Queens he'll look for Christian character and like at the banquet that I was at but the Joe Adams for some reason just out of the blue he said what girl matches David christiane's character that's what I'm looking for and when I meet a girl I will be the man God designed me to be be fun humorous tell jokes be conversational just make it fun of course but Above All Else I want to portray the life of the Lord Jesus Christ and the kind of a girl that values that more than a social game is the kind of girl I want to marry and there's a song when they're saying to end this this is truly my intention I pray for everybody and I hope this is all of our desires on our hearts that's when it's all been said and done there's just one thing that matters did I do my best to live for truth did I live my life for you when it's all been said and done and there is just one thing that man matters did I do my best believe for truth did I live my life for you did I live my life for you when it's all been said and done all my treasures will not theme only what I've done for Love's reward we'll stand in the test of time we'll stand the test of time lord your mercy is so great [Music] that you love look beyond our weakness and find Curious gold in my reclaim making sinners in to say making sinner sail to Saints I will praise you're on Earth and ever [Music] after you've shown me mine Heaven's my true hope when it's all been said and done you're my life when life is gone you're my life when life is gone when it's all been said and done there is just one thing that matters [Music] did I do my best to live for truth did I live my life for you did I live my life for you Lord I live my life for you [Music] thank you and now I'll just pray gracious heavenly father thank you for this day thank you

bless you thank everyone for coming have a great day just
