33:34a distinct honor to have Pastor Mark
33:37Copeland from Sebastopol Mississippi and
33:40pastors an incredible Church in fact I
33:42was informed now I might have my
33:44information wrong but I was informed
33:46this weekend that he pastors as of now
33:50the largest Oneness Pentecostal Church
33:52in the state of Mississippi and I think
33:55that's incredible
33:57foreign
33:59I want to be connected to men who are
34:02growing without compromise
34:04ma'am I want to be connected to men who
34:07are moving the kingdom forward that that
34:09are doing it without compromise and um
34:11and he's doing just that
34:14I believe it would have been
34:18[Music]
34:192011.
34:21or possibly 2012.
34:25Pastor Copeland came to Memphis when my
34:28wife and I had just gotten married
34:29sometime before that and he began to
34:33preach about things and during that
34:35service God gave my wife and I a
34:37revelation of giving that we have never
34:40had before and then a few years after
34:44that was at a meeting in Jacks Creek
34:47Tennessee
34:48and um Pastor Copeland was preaching and
34:52he told a story at the end of his
34:54message
34:55and and at the end of his the story he
34:59said there's a couple in the building
35:01that was a word from God for you
35:04and um
35:06said you need to respond and if I my
35:09memory serves me correct nobody
35:10responded and uh
35:13then finally he gave an altar call and
35:15so my wife and I had slipped out and
35:17kind of started coming up the aisle and
35:20he made a beeline for my wife and I
35:23and he said you're the couple I was
35:24talking about
35:26and they began to prophesy to us
35:29and we're standing
35:31and part of that prophecy today
35:34I I believe
35:37[Applause]
35:40I believe that God has orchestrated this
35:43moment
35:45he had a funeral that he
35:48I don't know if he's going to get to
35:50make it tomorrow or not probably not but
35:52he chose to be here instead and um
35:56man I just feel the Holy Ghost so strong
35:59as he's coming I wonder if you can lift
36:02your hands and let's just ask God to
36:03move can you do that God we're asking
36:05you to move in this place tonight God
36:07we're asking you to work in this house
36:09speak to us tonight give us Direction

37:17why don't you be seated just a few
37:19moments
37:21while we
37:23get acquainted here what a
37:26what a powerful season of worship that I
37:30walked into when I walked in this
37:31Auditorium
37:33I um I came into the building and heard
37:37a prayer room
37:40man I like it when I hear a prayer room
37:45and I was very familiar with that sound
37:48in that feeling
37:50and then I got a
37:53very important phone call and so I
37:55stepped in the pastor's office to take
37:57the phone call
37:59when I came out
38:01I walked into
38:03powerful worship
38:06and I'm just telling you
38:09that's what makes the difference
38:11a powerful prayer room
38:13and Powerful worship
38:15makes the difference
38:17and there is a freedom and a liberty
38:20that's in this place tonight
38:23that is going to make the difference in
38:25the remainder of the service aren't you
38:27glad you're at church tonight

38:46been doing I've been doing this for
38:48almost 35 years I can't believe that I'm
38:51not even supposed to be 35 years old

38:58somewhere there about

39:05over 30 years anyway
39:07and
39:09you you learn some things in that amount
39:11of time
39:13and what stood out to me was his passion
39:16tonight
39:18his passion
39:19uh for what he's doing I'm just going to
39:22tell you it was a good day
39:23for Nashville Tennessee when this couple
39:26decided
39:28to build an Apostolic Church
39:31City
39:37[Applause]
39:38it was one of the greatest things that
39:40ever happened to this city
39:42for this family to decide we're going to
39:45start a church right here in Nashville I
39:49I'm going to tell you I'm I'm just going
39:51to tell you this the the powers that be
39:55recognize the authority that stepped
39:57into this city
40:00I
40:02I I got to say that again because I some
40:04of y'all missed
40:07I want to I want to tell you something
40:09just a moment
40:11I'm not here going through platitudes
40:14right now
40:15this isn't something just to say to
40:17introduce my message
40:20I'm talking to you in the Holy Ghost
40:23when I tell you that the powers that be
40:27in this city
40:28recognized the authority
40:31that walked into this city
40:34when these people came to this place
40:38[Applause]
40:40something changed in the very chemistry
40:43of the spirit
40:45and all the forces of the enemy made up
40:48in their mind we're not going to let
40:51this thing be successful here

43:23and that that's important that's
43:25important in the house when it was in
43:28building
43:29was built of stone made ready before it
43:33was brought thither
43:35so that there was neither Hammer nor ax
43:38nor any tool of iron
43:41heard in the house wow
43:44it was in building
43:46God bless you you could be seated
43:49and while you're seated there would you

43:56through 20. Ephesians chapter 2.
44:00verses 18 through
44:0220.
44:04for through him we have both accessed by
44:07one Spirit unto the father
44:12now therefore ye are no more strangers
44:15and foreigners but fellow citizens were
44:18the Saints and the household of God
44:22and are built upon the foundation of the
44:27Apostles and Prophets Jesus Christ
44:29himself being the Chief Cornerstone
44:34one more passage in First Peter chapter
44:372 and verse 5 First Peter chapter 2 and
44:41verse 5 and then I'm going to do my best
44:43to talk to you
44:45for a few minutes here with what the
44:47Holy Ghost says in this service ye also
44:50as Lively stones are built up
44:53as a spiritual house
44:58both of these New Testament verses are
45:01talking about you as stones
45:04being built
45:08put together
45:11stones that are alive
45:15stones that are living nothing seems
45:19more dead than a stone
45:22yes
45:23nothing seems more lifeless and
45:27unmovable
45:30than a stone
45:32but he says you're not the kind of
45:35stones you're used to
45:38you are a Lively Stone
45:42and are built up
45:45that means stacked one upon the other
45:48to create a habitation
45:52a place for God to dwell
45:56you're a spiritual house
45:59a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual
46:02sacrifice is acceptable to God
46:05by or through Jesus Christ
46:09Ephesians 18 says you're no more
46:11strangers and foreigners but your fellow
46:15citizens in the household of God
46:20and are built
46:22upon the apostles and the prophets
46:26I want to preach to you for a few
46:28minutes from this subject no sound
46:31of the tools
46:33no sound
46:35of the tools
46:38I want to start by saying to you that
46:41salvation is a continual process
46:46all of these passages that I read in
46:49your hearing are talking about a house a
46:52habitation for God being built
46:57they're in the process of being built
47:01so salvation is a continual building
47:04process
47:06the Holy Ghost is not a graduation
47:09diploma
47:11it's a birth certificate
47:16your relationship with God is in a
47:19building up process
47:21every day changes should happen to you
47:26today you became more spiritual
47:30or more carnal
47:33but there was no static motion
47:38you became something today
47:44well it's quite but it's all right you
47:46you were in a process of becoming today
47:51moving toward God or moving away from
47:55God
47:57and every day there are changes that
48:00takes place and every individual in this
48:03place me included
48:07no matter how young or no matter how old
48:10must have a pastor
48:14in order to be saved
48:16[Applause]
48:22in fact there's a question in the Bible
48:24that's never been answered
48:26that question was asked by Paul 2
48:30000 years ago and no one's ever answered
48:33the question
48:35and here was the question that he asked
48:36how shall they hear
48:39without a preacher
48:45how can they hear the gospel without a
48:47preacher come on
48:49and in 2000 years no one has brought
48:53back an answer to that question
48:57because there is no answer
49:00the only way you can hear the gospel
49:05is you got to have a man of God you got
49:07to have a pastor you got to have a
49:08preacher
49:14now
49:15I'm just creating the foundation right
49:19now so don't get nervous
49:23you know
49:25there's an interesting story in Acts
49:27chapter 10. in Acts chapter 10 there's
49:30an interesting story about a man by the
49:32name of Cornelius
49:35it is it is one of the most unique and
49:38interesting stories in your Bible and
49:40the reason that it is is he was a man
49:43that the house of Israel did not believe
49:46could be saved
49:50right
49:51they they if you think Prejudice is an
49:55American problem
49:59it started all the way back
50:03in the beginning they did not think
50:05because he was not of the household of
50:08Israel
50:09that he could be saved he was an Italian
50:11the Bible says that he was an Italian of
50:16of the Italian band
50:21he might have owned a pizza restaurant
50:22or something
50:27anyway he he
50:29wants
50:31to know about this gospel
50:35that these Jews are preaching about
50:37he wants to know about Jesus
50:40and the Bible says he gets down on his
50:42knees and he starts praying fervently
50:46he starts giving money
50:49to the poor see anybody with any sense
50:53that wants to be blessed
50:56is going to understand the first step in
50:58being blessed is giving
51:01and that's not just of money that is of
51:03time that is of energy that is of effort
51:06that is of worship that is a if you're
51:09liberal in giving your worship
51:12if you're liberal in giving your Finance
51:15if you're liberal with your time
51:22see it's got to be a balanced approach
51:25it can't just be in one area I have
51:27people that don't want to give of their
51:29time they're too busy they don't want to
51:30come up at the church and work so they
51:32just throw 100 bills in the offering
51:33plate come on
51:36yeah
51:38well it it you know a a cake has got to
51:42have equal parts
51:45to to believe that you can just be
51:48liberal in one area while being stingy
51:50in others
51:52and it turned out all right is the same
51:53thing as saying well you know I I don't
51:56I don't have any eggs so I'll just
51:58double up on the shortening
52:03and then wonder why the cake don't turn
52:05out right
52:09well I I don't have any sugar so I'll
52:12just put two cups of salt
52:15and then wonder why the cake don't turn
52:17out right
52:19well the reason why is because you got
52:22to have equal parts of all you got to
52:24have proper balance if your cake is
52:26going to be baked properly
52:29somebody said why are you talking about
52:31cakes because the Bible does the Bible
52:33says the problem with Ephraim is he was
52:35a cake Unturned
52:38you got to have balance
52:42Hallelujah and so you can't decide well
52:44I I don't want to give an offering and I
52:46don't believe in paying tithes so I'll
52:48just go up and mow the grass at the
52:49church and everything will be all right
52:51no no no no no no no no you've got to be
52:53liberal in all areas of your
52:57s
52:58you got to be liberal and all that
53:00liberal with your time liberal with your
53:02worship liberal with your Finance it is
53:04a balanced approach
53:07to living for God and so this man all
53:09the way back in the Bible who was not
53:11even of the household of faith man I
53:14better turn my phone over where I can
53:16see that clock
53:19oh this man understood I got to have a
53:23balanced approach so here's what your
53:25Bible says and I won't take time to go
53:26there but in Acts chapter 10 he's the
53:28Bible tells us that he he prayed always
53:34and gave a lot of money away
53:38to the poor and to the needy
53:41and he prayed because he wanted to know
53:44about Jesus Christ
53:47and the Bible says he prayed so much
53:51that he prayed down a glittering angel
53:56how many of y'all ever prayed that much
54:00come on anybody anybody ever prayed an
54:01angel down
54:04I thought I saw an angel one time and
54:06married her and it turned out it what
54:08she just looked like one
54:13she she's gotten pretty close over the
54:15years but
54:17it wasn't one of them angels that came
54:19from heaven
54:22he prayed an angel down
54:27and that angel
54:30looked at him and said I know
54:32what you want
54:35you want the Plan of Salvation you want
54:38to be saved
54:41and do you think that angel gave
54:43Cornelius The Plan of Salvation
54:47absolutely not
54:50he said the same thing Paul said
54:53there's only one way
54:56for you to find out how to be saved
55:00go find a preacher
55:05[Applause]
55:09how can they hear without a preacher
55:11there is no other way
55:14there is no other aren't you glad God
55:17sent you a man of God to preach the
55:19truth
55:21aren't you glad that God cared enough
55:23about Nashville to send a man of God to
55:27preach the word
55:28[Applause]
55:32now I've got to go all the way back
55:36to the beginning
55:38you know I each Terry Ike Terry said
55:41this he said it takes a lifetime to make
55:44a saint
55:48it takes a few minutes to make a convert
55:52but it takes a lifetime to make a a
55:56saint of God
55:59because we all
56:02are in a building process somebody say
56:04I'm being built
56:07come on say it one more time I'm being
56:09built
56:11every time the preacher preaches I'm
56:14being built
56:16every time I come to the altar there's a
56:18building process that's taking place
56:22I want to tell you there's tools
56:25of iron in these altars
56:28you can't see them because they're
56:29spiritual
56:30but in these altars or Hammers and axes
56:33and and and sanding equipment and
56:37shipping equipment
56:39[Music]
56:40yeah they're in this this altar
56:45so let's go back to the scripture that I
56:47read in your hearing in First Kings
56:49because I don't want to run out of time
56:51David walks out on his Veranda one day
56:55in what the Bible return refers to is a
56:59chiseled in a sealed house
57:02it meant it means it was a nice place
57:05it took him 14 years to build his house
57:10and he walks out on the veranda and he
57:13looks down through the countryside and
57:15he sees a tent flout waving in the
57:17breeze
57:19and when he does conviction Stripes his
57:22strikes his heart
57:25because that tent
57:27that he saw flapping in the breeze was
57:30God's house
57:33it was the tabernacle
57:35and he said to himself what am I doing
57:39living in this nice palace
57:42and God dwells in a tent
57:46and he said God
57:49he owed you a house
57:54Hilton God immediately gave him the
57:57plans for that house and everything was
58:00already figured for him I'm going to
58:02tell you something God was just waiting
58:05on him
58:08God already had everything put together
58:11he knew how long he wanted the altar
58:14yes sir he knew how tall he wanted the
58:16walls he knew what kind of fabric he
58:18wanted in the house all the plans were
58:21already prepared he was just waiting on
58:23David to ask him
58:28you know I just kind of believe he might
58:29be waiting on y'all to build him a house
58:31right here
58:35he might already have the plans together
58:39he might already have the blueprints
58:41ready
58:41[Laughter]
58:44oh I'm feeling the Holy Ghost in This
58:46Place right now
58:50and so God gives the plans to David
58:54and then
58:56there's a caveat he said but
58:59you can't build it
59:03he said I'm not going to let you build
59:06my house
59:08but I'll let your son build it
59:10I'll let Solomon build it
59:13now I'm telling you I've been pastoring
59:15long enough that I am shocked at David's
59:17response
59:19because God tells David you can't be
59:22over the project
59:25I'm going to put your son over the
59:27project
59:28but David still says well if I can't
59:31build it if I can't be over it that'll
59:33be all right
59:34I'll still do everything I can
59:38together all the stuff and make it work
59:44and David went to work
59:46Gathering all the gold and the silver
59:49and The Cedars and the stone and
59:51everything that was needed so that when
59:53Solomon got ready to build the temple
59:56everything he needed to build it would
59:58be there
1:00:02I'm telling you they you date must not
1:00:04have been a Pentecostal
1:00:08he can't have been Apostolic
1:00:12the reason I say this I've been
1:00:13pastoring long enough that you tell
1:00:15somebody comes up with an idea for a
1:00:17project and you say okay but you can't
1:00:18be over it I'm gonna put her over it
1:00:20just so well if she's going to be over
1:00:21it I don't have anything to do with it
1:00:27oh come on somebody
1:00:28I'll be over the ladies department if I
1:00:30can be the leader
1:00:33come on
1:00:35I'll teach you Sunday school class as
1:00:37long as I'm a head teacher
1:00:40I'll be over the bus Minister as long as
1:00:42I'm the captain
1:00:44oh come on somebody
1:00:46oh if you're gonna put him over it well
1:00:48I I'll go fishing Saturday
1:00:52that was not David's attitude
1:00:54David said I may be the king of Israel
1:00:57but if I'm not over the building I'll
1:01:00gather the stuff
1:01:02you know what he basically said I'll be
1:01:04the Gopher if that's all he you know he
1:01:06had that attitude all the way from the
1:01:08beginning let me tell you what he said
1:01:10he said I'd rather be a doorkeeper I'd
1:01:13rather be an usher in the house of God
1:01:15than the dwell in the tents of the
1:01:17wicked
1:01:21Hallelujah
1:01:22Hallelujah I've spilled my water praise
1:01:25the Lord I've baptized this in Jesus
1:01:28name
1:01:32God bless you you can be seated he said
1:01:34if all you're going if all you're going
1:01:35to do is let me hold the door if all
1:01:37you're going to do is let me be an usher
1:01:39that'll be all right as long as I can be
1:01:42part of the household of God
1:01:44[Applause]
1:01:50and so the Bible says that
1:01:52that David
1:01:54just did just that he gathered
1:01:56everything up and so Solomon comes along
1:01:58and it's time to build the house of the
1:02:01Lord It's Time to build uh God's house
1:02:04man I can't believe it's 8 28. where did
1:02:06the time go
1:02:07I got to hurry up I gotta I I gotta I
1:02:10gotta keep my reputation of not being a
1:02:12long-winded preacher
1:02:14so
1:02:16so Solomon gets the plans and he says
1:02:19it's time to build the house now this is
1:02:21an amazing thing the Bible says of the
1:02:24Tabernacle
1:02:25that God just gave them the wisdom
1:02:30to build the Tabernacle Exodus 31 says
1:02:35and God gave them can you imagine what
1:02:38that means
1:02:39you see knowledge and wisdom are two
1:02:42different things
1:02:44knowledge knowledge comes piecemeal over
1:02:49a lifetime
1:02:50you have a lot of knowledge if you've
1:02:53lived a lot of life
1:02:55but wisdom on the other hand is the gift
1:02:58of God
1:03:00and when wisdom comes it erases all the
1:03:04questions
1:03:05in other words knowledge is like this
1:03:07you plant a seed in the ground and you
1:03:10water the seed and the seed comes up and
1:03:13it turns into a little sprig and then
1:03:15the sprig turns into a sapling and ten
1:03:17years later uh the sapling is a tree and
1:03:2130 years later it offers shade and 40
1:03:23years later it puts on fruit and in a
1:03:27lifetime you have a beautiful
1:03:31tree that gives fruit and all for shade
1:03:33that's the way knowledge works the
1:03:36wisdom of God works like this
1:03:39there wasn't a tree and now there's a
1:03:43full oak tree giving fruit and bearing
1:03:45shade
1:03:50wisdom gives you the entire
1:03:52understanding about a situation
1:03:54immediately
1:03:56and any of you that's had the Holy Ghost
1:03:58for any length of time knows what I'm
1:03:59talking about
1:04:00you know exactly you know that God has
1:04:03give you a new wisdom it's called the
1:04:05word of wisdom and when it comes it
1:04:06erases all the questions what does that
1:04:08mean it means a mother can be worried
1:04:10about her daughter and what's going on
1:04:12with her what's her problem why is she
1:04:14responding going and she starts praying
1:04:16and she pushes back the plate and says
1:04:17I'm not going to eat again God until you
1:04:20give me an answer about these problems
1:04:22in my family and at two o'clock in the
1:04:24morning she wakes up out of a dead sleep
1:04:26and she knows immediately what's going
1:04:28on and how to fix it that's wisdom
1:04:32a pastor stealing with a situation in
1:04:35his church and he don't know what to do
1:04:37and he can't get anybody to talk he's
1:04:38threatening over it and he's worried
1:04:40over it and but he pushes back the plate
1:04:42for two or three days and he starts
1:04:43praying and then all of a sudden he's up
1:04:45here walking at the church and praying
1:04:47and God speaks and when God speaks he
1:04:50has no more questions about that
1:04:52situation he knows who what where when
1:04:56and how to remedy the situation because
1:04:59that's how wisdom works and what it
1:05:01means when the Bible says in God gave
1:05:03them the wisdom to build the temple what
1:05:06it means is is that there was people
1:05:08that had never cut stone before but they
1:05:11woke up the next morning churnum and
1:05:13stone cutters
1:05:15it means they went to bed and they had
1:05:18no idea how to cut the Cedars of Lebanon
1:05:21and they woke up the next day journeyman
1:05:23Cedar cutters
1:05:25they went to bed one night and never
1:05:28refined gold and they woke up the next
1:05:30day and they were chernerman glorifiers
1:05:35[Applause]
1:05:37it's them the wisdom
1:05:41my God have mercy and so so Solomon
1:05:45calls them together
1:05:48he calls together the skilled men to
1:05:52build the Architects and the Craftsmen
1:05:55to build the temple and he has a meeting
1:05:57with them and he rolls out the plans
1:06:00that God gave David
1:06:03and David gave him
1:06:05now this is an interesting fact to me
1:06:08David received the plans a former
1:06:11generation
1:06:13passed the plans down to his son a
1:06:16younger generation
1:06:18and Solomon gave the exact plans
1:06:23that came from God through David to
1:06:27Solomon
1:06:28gave those exact plans to the Craftsman
1:06:34can you believe that
1:06:38Solomon didn't attempt to make one
1:06:41change
1:06:44why is it that we have a generation now
1:06:47that God gave us this Apostolic truth
1:06:49gave it to our forefathers they pass it
1:06:52down to us and we think we got to change
1:06:55it all up we think we got to modernize
1:06:57it and streamline it
1:06:59[Applause]
1:07:00we act like it ain't good enough like it
1:07:02is
1:07:04I'm telling you Solomon didn't make one
1:07:07change
1:07:09and I'm here to preach to you that this
1:07:12old-fashioned one God Jesus name
1:07:14tongue-talking gospel it don't need to
1:07:17be streamlined it don't need to be
1:07:19adapted it doesn't need any changes made
1:07:22to it it's all right just like God gave
1:07:25it to our forefathers
1:07:27[Applause]
1:07:31my God have mercy
1:07:35I I gotta hurry up BC man you're
1:07:37preaching me to death tonight I might
1:07:39have to pull my socks up if y'all keep
1:07:41this going
1:07:42so
1:07:44so he rolls out the plans and they look
1:07:48at the plans and they say man it's tough
1:07:51but it could be done it's so specific
1:07:53but it can be done
1:07:55and then
1:07:57Solomon throws out the caveat
1:08:01he says but here's the thing
1:08:04he said the stones
1:08:07and The Cedars
1:08:10that make up the temple
1:08:13have got to be made ready
1:08:17they've got to be made of stone made
1:08:18ready
1:08:19before
1:08:21they're shipped to location
1:08:27when you cut
1:08:29the stones for this Temple out of the
1:08:31Quarry
1:08:33you got to take the blueprints
1:08:36you've got to take the plans and you've
1:08:39got to make sure that stone is cut
1:08:41exactly
1:08:43like the plan says
1:08:45or it don't even leave the Quarry
1:08:51because there's going to be no tools
1:08:55at the final location
1:08:58to do final adjustments
1:09:03they've got to be exact when they get
1:09:05there
1:09:07now a few years ago my wife and I stood
1:09:10at the Western Wall of Heritage Temple
1:09:15I was I I'm just telling you I was
1:09:18amazed
1:09:20my grandfather
1:09:22did building his in my entire life and
1:09:25most of his life
1:09:27I know
1:09:28what building looks like
1:09:31and I stood at the Western Wall of
1:09:33herod's Temple and could not believe
1:09:36what I saw
1:09:40because while the outer edges of the
1:09:43stones had where
1:09:45from 2000 years of standing there
1:09:51once you get Beyond
1:09:53an inch or two deep
1:09:56and I know some of you are sitting there
1:09:57thinking well people roll up prayers and
1:10:00stick prayers in the crevices of the of
1:10:02the wall you don't understand that's
1:10:04just a few inches in these stones are 12
1:10:08feet deep
1:10:11and once you get beyond what wind and
1:10:15rain and weather have done to those
1:10:17stones
1:10:18they are fitted together so tightly
1:10:22that you can't get a sheet of paper
1:10:24between them on the sides underneath or
1:10:26on the top
1:10:29I stepped off some of those stones to
1:10:31see how big they were this is an amazing
1:10:34thing to me I stepped off some of those
1:10:36stones to see how big they are and
1:10:39they are some of them are 50 feet long
1:10:4512 feet deep
1:10:48and 10 feet tall
1:10:51that means that the size of an
1:10:5318-wheeler trailer
1:10:57and you look up
1:10:59and they're 30 40 50 feet 60 feet in the
1:11:03air
1:11:05right now today
1:11:08in today's
1:11:10advancement
1:11:13we have no ability to lift one of those
1:11:16stones
1:11:19with our biggest equipment hydraulic
1:11:22equipment
1:11:23they say we may be able to turn one over
1:11:28we may be able to turn it from one side
1:11:31to the other side
1:11:33but we have no ability to lift it
1:11:36off of the ground
1:11:39it is one of the mystery
1:11:41of the world
1:11:43how it is done
1:11:45and to understand that God's people did
1:11:48greater feats
1:11:50than
1:11:51anyone else
1:11:53in the Egyptian pyramids they have
1:11:55stones
1:11:57way up there to 200 feet in the air but
1:12:00these stones are 12 to 20 tons
1:12:04some of the stones that was in herod's
1:12:07Temple was 80 tons
1:12:14and it is uh it is a mystery of our
1:12:17world
1:12:19how they accomplished putting those
1:12:21stones one on top of the other fit so
1:12:24tightly
1:12:25that there's no need of mortar
1:12:29there's no need of any concrete filling
1:12:32in between
1:12:33they are fit so tightly
1:12:36that nothing can get between the cracks
1:12:39of the stones
1:12:42a few years ago
1:12:44they had all kinds of different ID ideas
1:12:46and ideologies but today
1:12:49they have come up with what they believe
1:12:52is the real way they move the stones
1:12:55they believe they finally accomplished
1:12:57the understanding of how they did it
1:13:01and they have invented
1:13:03an apparatus called a tractor rail
1:13:07now this tractor rail right now is
1:13:09handheld
1:13:10so then calling it a tractor rail is a
1:13:14future prophecy of where they feel that
1:13:17they can go with this technology
1:13:20but with a tractor rail they already
1:13:22have the ability to pick up a ping-pong
1:13:25ball and move it around the room
1:13:27using frequency
1:13:31it's the same idea is a is a tenor
1:13:34hitting a note that shatters a wine
1:13:37glass
1:13:39it is the power of sound
1:13:43it is the power of sound
1:13:45when they discovered this
1:13:47they decided then that stones
1:13:51were no longer dead
1:13:57they have always thought that everything
1:14:00on our Earth was a living thing but one
1:14:03of the exceptions was a stone
1:14:06my God have mercy
1:14:08they did not believe it was a living
1:14:10organism until they discovered frequency
1:14:13and when they discovered frequency they
1:14:16found out something very unique and that
1:14:18is that the planets
1:14:22the planets have a song
1:14:27they now have recorded
1:14:30Jupiter
1:14:32and Venus
1:14:34and different planets in our universe
1:14:37Mars they have recorded the sounds that
1:14:40have been that are being emitted
1:14:42from the stars and the planets
1:14:46every one of our stars and our planets
1:14:49are singing a different song in a
1:14:52different frequency
1:14:53um
1:14:55my Lord have mercy
1:14:58and they found out with this tractor
1:15:01rail
1:15:02that they can completely control a
1:15:04ping-pong ball and they've moved up till
1:15:05now they're moving a tennis ball around
1:15:08the room and setting it on shelves and
1:15:12and they're saying that's how they
1:15:14that's how they built stone hands that
1:15:16that's how they built the pyramids
1:15:18that's how they built the temple they
1:15:20got the frequency just right and somehow
1:15:22they've so harnessed the power of it
1:15:24that they're able to move these Mighty
1:15:27stones
1:15:28if they are right now God have mercy if
1:15:32they're right about this do you
1:15:34understand it gives a whole new meaning
1:15:36to some of our scripture because Jesus
1:15:39said oh my God
1:15:41speak to that mountain
1:15:44tell it to remove itself and cast itself
1:15:47into the
1:15:48[Applause]
1:15:55he's going through Jerusalem and he says
1:15:57if you don't want to praise me that'll
1:16:00be all right let the stones cry out the
1:16:03stuff
1:16:05let me tell you something faith has a
1:16:08frequency faith has a frequency faith
1:16:11has a sound that moves obstacles and
1:16:15changes your future and change you need
1:16:18to speak to that obstacle you need to
1:16:20speak to the thing that's standing in
1:16:22your way
1:16:24[Applause]
1:16:30of Mercy
1:16:32so we're being built into a habitation
1:16:35for God first Corinthians 3 and 19 calls
1:16:39God's people God's Building First
1:16:42Corinthians 3 and 17 says we're the
1:16:45temple of God first Corinthians 6 and 19
1:16:47says we're the Temple of the Holy Ghost
1:16:49second Corinthians 6 and 16 says where
1:16:52the Temple of the Living God acts 17
1:16:55says we're the Temple of the Lord
1:16:57Ephesians 2 and 22 says well the
1:16:59habitation of God in the glory World in
1:17:02Romans 16 and 5 says were the house of
1:17:05Jesus Christ
1:17:09we're being built into something
1:17:14he said
1:17:16he said here's the caveat
1:17:20when you fail that Cedar of Lebanon
1:17:24you've got to take the blueprints
1:17:28and you've got to make sure
1:17:30that that tree is cut to the exact size
1:17:34that it's supposed to be before you ever
1:17:36ship it
1:17:39foreign
1:17:42bulk and they say we don't think that
1:17:44can be done
1:17:47that that's an impossible situation
1:17:51I don't I don't know how we can do that
1:17:54and Solomon says that's part of the
1:17:57plans
1:17:59that's the way it's got to be done
1:18:01now Solomon sent Craftsman all over the
1:18:05known world to get the things that would
1:18:06make up the temple I don't have time to
1:18:09go there but the Cedars came from
1:18:10Lebanon the gold came from parvan the
1:18:13silver came from the Assyrian mines the
1:18:16the stones of Lebanon came from Lebanon
1:18:22and these big massive stones
1:18:2750 feet long
1:18:3012 feet wide
1:18:3210 feet tall
1:18:34were shipped from Lebanon to Jerusalem
1:18:37to make up the temple and he said here's
1:18:40the the thing and I'm gonna move on
1:18:43when you get to Lebanon or when you get
1:18:46to Jerusalem this Temple is going to
1:18:50come together
1:18:51in total silence
1:18:55there won't be a hammer heard
1:18:58there won't be a chisel heard
1:19:01we won't hear the sound of an ax it is
1:19:03going to come together
1:19:06in complete silence
1:19:08no tools of iron on location
1:19:13can you imagine
1:19:15that we're not building a natural Temple
1:19:18for God
1:19:20we're parts and pieces of a temple
1:19:24that's going to be built for him in the
1:19:26New Jerusalem
1:19:28and God has sent Craftsmen
1:19:32all over the known world
1:19:35to get the pieces
1:19:39the pieces
1:19:41that'll make up God's temple in the
1:19:43heavenlies
1:19:47in fact he sent a Craftsman to Nashville
1:19:50he said I got some pieces for my temple
1:19:53in Nashville
1:19:55God have mercy they're going to be part
1:19:57of the building in the New Jerusalem
1:20:00go get them
1:20:01[Applause]
1:20:03get down in that choir your sin and
1:20:06iniquity and ungodliness and cut out a
1:20:08stone
1:20:10I got have mercy
1:20:12I need you to take the blueprint and I
1:20:15need you to cut on it and trim on it you
1:20:18know what I need you to do come up here
1:20:20brother
1:20:22your stone in the temple I need you
1:20:25Sunday morning to take the blueprint and
1:20:27hold the blueprint up against the stone
1:20:29and if you see an area where they don't
1:20:32fit you gotta cut on him Craftsman
1:20:40because there'll be no tools of iron in
1:20:43the glory world to do final adjustment
1:20:49the pieces to my temple have got to be
1:20:52cut to exact size before they're ever
1:20:55shipped
1:20:57they gotta be perfect or they don't even
1:21:00get on The Old Ship design don't
1:21:07because there'll be no tools
1:21:11thank you son to be fat to do final
1:21:13adjustment
1:21:17somebody's sitting out there thinking
1:21:19well God will understand what I've been
1:21:20through God will understand what's
1:21:23happened to me I know I might have some
1:21:25jealousy I know I may have some anguish
1:21:27I know I may have some things going on I
1:21:30may have some Strife or some Envy I know
1:21:33I might have some hate working but God
1:21:35knows what I've been through God knows
1:21:37the situation and when I get to Glory
1:21:39he's going to understand oh no you got
1:21:42it mixed up let me tell you what Mercy
1:21:44is let me tell you what the mercy of God
1:21:47is that he sent a Craftsman and he put
1:21:50tools in these altars and he said if you
1:21:52have hate there's an author that'll work
1:21:55on you if you have Envy there's an altar
1:21:57well we can get that out but let me tell
1:22:00you this you got to be cut to exact size
1:22:02or you won't be loaded on The Old Ship
1:22:05of Zion because there are no tools
1:22:11there'll be no sound of any tools
1:22:14when the building's in building you can
1:22:16be seated
1:22:18I'm almost done musicians come to the
1:22:20music instruments please
1:22:22I'm preaching to somebody here
1:22:26I took a long time building up this
1:22:28message to tell you that we're being
1:22:29built
1:22:32that's the reason why we got to have two
1:22:34services on Sunday
1:22:36or however y'all do it how many service
1:22:38you have you have one service on Sunday
1:22:41that's right they share the business
1:22:42you've got one service on Sunday you got
1:22:45one service on on Wednesday night
1:22:47there's no doubt you have prayer
1:22:48meetings and you uh you what is all that
1:22:51about what's all that about Craftsman
1:22:52I'm going to tell you why
1:22:55because we're working on a stone but we
1:22:58found out stones are alive
1:23:03and what that means is we can get them
1:23:05shaped and we can get them just right
1:23:07and then they go on the job one day
1:23:10and somebody on the job does something
1:23:12to them and all of a sudden Envy's
1:23:14sticking out when they come to church at
1:23:15night
1:23:19and the pastor looks out there and he
1:23:20sees that Envy
1:23:22and he says oh Lord
1:23:24oh Lord
1:23:26we're about to Sail On The Old Ship of
1:23:28Zion
1:23:29I got to get that out of her
1:23:32or she won't be loaded on the ship to go
1:23:37because there's going to be no tools of
1:23:39iron
1:23:40in the glory world
1:23:44so I got to work on her right now
1:23:45tonight
1:23:47there's not a service despair
1:23:50because we're too close to the catching
1:23:52way of the church
1:23:53The Old Ship of Zion
1:23:56is already sounding its whistles
1:23:59can you hear her engines cranked
1:24:03can you see the black billowing smoke
1:24:05come out of her Smoke Stacks I'm going
1:24:07to tell you those ship of Zion's about
1:24:08to sail
1:24:11an idios idiosyncrasy or jealousy or
1:24:14hatred
1:24:15strive for Envy or any such thing
1:24:18foreign
1:24:23God said don't even load them on the
1:24:24boat
1:24:25it's got to be built of stone made ready
1:24:28before
1:24:30it's brought thither
1:24:33because here's his warning there's no
1:24:35tools of iron in the glory world
1:24:40it's Mercy now
1:24:42it's judgment then
1:24:46somebody said I thought God was a
1:24:47merciful god that would understand me oh
1:24:49he is
1:24:51that's why I sent you a man of God
1:24:54and he said preach to him preacher
1:24:57you know what he said in the Old
1:24:58Testament he said he said don't pay
1:25:01attention to the look on their face set
1:25:03your face like a flint and preach the
1:25:05word
1:25:09let me tell you the best friend you can
1:25:11have is a preacher that I cut on you
1:25:15let me tell you the best preacher you
1:25:17can have is a preacher that that regards
1:25:19not your feeling but preaches the word
1:25:21and sometimes it hurts and sometimes it
1:25:24wounds and sometimes and sometimes you
1:25:26think of somebody told him something yes
1:25:28they have
1:25:30somebody's been talking to your preacher
1:25:32but it ain't a gossip it's God Almighty
1:25:35it's the Lord Jesus Christ you said
1:25:38somebody been talking to the pastor you
1:25:40better believe they have it's God that's
1:25:42been talking to your man
1:25:44foreign
1:25:48[Applause]
1:25:49last time
1:25:52I don't know who you are I don't know
1:25:54where you sit
1:25:57but the Holy Ghost sent me after
1:25:58somebody tonight
1:26:01because you've been dealing with things
1:26:02and you've been putting off the process
1:26:07you know there's something about things
1:26:08that we deal with on the inside
1:26:12and the closer we get to the coming of
1:26:14God the more sinful and ungodly this
1:26:16world gets
1:26:18the more we're carrying stuff
1:26:22and I'm not trying to be to psycho
1:26:24psycho on the island
1:26:27I'm not trying to get into
1:26:29psychoanalysis tonight
1:26:31I'm not trying to get in some kind of
1:26:33conspiracy theory
1:26:35I'm just telling you it's the world we
1:26:37live in
1:26:38if I took a poll right now
1:26:41of people sitting in this building that
1:26:43was abused as a child
1:26:45it would blow your mind
1:26:48you would be mind blown if you knew the
1:26:51sexual abuse that sits in this building
1:26:55if we knew the hurt and the wounds and
1:26:57the deceit and the pain
1:27:00if we knew children that was misused by
1:27:02natural parents or whoever they grew up
1:27:04with and whoever they lived with
1:27:06School teachers coaches
1:27:09the pain and the hurt
1:27:11there's people sitting here that's
1:27:13clutching onto things
1:27:17just when you think it's gone it shows
1:27:19back up again
1:27:21because I'm going to tell you you can't
1:27:23do
1:27:24a job
1:27:26you can't do a job with Snips that's got
1:27:29to be done with a grubbing hoe
1:27:33you can't come up around the Altar and
1:27:35just just cut the bud off
1:27:38or cut it off at the ground and think
1:27:40it's okay
1:27:42sometimes you got to get the tools of
1:27:44iron in the altar
1:27:46and make up in your mind I'm too close
1:27:48to the coming of God to carry this one
1:27:51service further
1:27:53[Music]
1:27:55I'm talking to tonight but I feel like
1:27:57I've drove six or seven hours for one
1:27:59maybe one individual in this house
1:28:03because what you're dealing with is
1:28:06affecting every area of your life
1:28:08it's not just affecting your victory in
1:28:11God it's affecting family it's affecting
1:28:13attitude it's affecting your
1:28:15relationship with other people
1:28:17and I'm just telling you right now The
1:28:18Old Ship of Zion is about to sail
1:28:21and all these attitudes well when I get
1:28:23up to heaven I'll explain to God God
1:28:25knows how I've been hurt God knows what
1:28:27I've been through God knows the pain
1:28:29I've endured God understands no
1:28:32[Music]
1:28:34it's not that he's going to understand
1:28:36then
1:28:38I'm going to tell you right now
1:28:41God sent you this man
1:28:44to deal with that before the ship of
1:28:47Zion sails
1:28:49not after
1:28:50[Music]
1:28:54this is a shared building
1:28:57but it doesn't take away from these
1:28:58tools of iron
1:29:00let me tell you something I've preached
1:29:03in house churches
1:29:04and I've preached in 20 million dollar
1:29:07facilities
1:29:09I've preached
1:29:17preached with a piece of cloth flew over
1:29:19it threw over it
1:29:21and I preached in 20 million dollar
1:29:23buildings with chiseled and Polished
1:29:25altars
1:29:27let me tell you the tools are just as
1:29:29effective
1:29:33the tools work the same way
1:29:36there's Tools in these altars that'll
1:29:40get that root of bitterness and pull it
1:29:41out of your heart
1:29:43there's Tools in this altar that deal
1:29:45with that envy and that hate
1:29:48that feeling
1:29:49I'm not trying to make you out of be a
1:29:51bad person
1:29:53no we've all dealt with it if we've
1:29:55lived we've dealt with those feelings
1:29:58that arise out of nowhere you're driving
1:30:00down the road not even thinking about it
1:30:02and all of a sudden that memory comes
1:30:04and you think to yourself who did he
1:30:06think he was
1:30:11how did she think she had the authority
1:30:13to treat me that way and you you think
1:30:15to yourself I thought I'd dealt with
1:30:17that well we can't just cut off the bud
1:30:21somewhere those tools of iron have got
1:30:23to dig in there and get that thing by
1:30:25the root and pull it out
1:30:30because
1:30:33it can't even ship
1:30:36until it exactly fits the blueprint
1:30:39he said what are you talking about
1:30:41brother Copeland I'm done with this
1:30:43those stones have got to slide in there
1:30:45so tightly
1:30:48it means
1:30:50that when that Temple is put together
1:30:51two or three of you boys help me
1:30:54that those
1:30:56Cedars of Lebanon and those stones of
1:30:58Lebanon
1:31:00get been cut
1:31:02a slide together so tightly
1:31:06that if there's any jealousy or anger
1:31:08that's why the Bible says sin can't
1:31:10enter there
1:31:11you got to be spotless white without
1:31:13spot or blemish or any such thing
1:31:15because there's going to be no room in
1:31:17heaven for anything
1:31:19it's not like Christ
1:31:21let me just ask you if you can't serve
1:31:23in a Sunday school class with her here
1:31:25how are you going to stand with her
1:31:26there
1:31:29if you can't serve on a team with him
1:31:31down here how in the world are you going
1:31:33to stand tightly with him there
1:31:38it's tools of iron
1:31:41the Bible says
1:31:44the Bible says I'm finished
1:31:49that when we get to heaven there's going
1:31:51to be 30 minutes of silence
1:31:54and brother I believe that's when that
1:31:56Temple is going to come together
1:31:5830 minutes of silence every Stone's
1:32:01gonna slide into place
1:32:04I don't know what I'm gonna be I don't
1:32:05know if I'm gonna be a doorpost
1:32:08I don't know if I'm gonna be the
1:32:09stepping stone to get in the temple I
1:32:11don't know if I'm going to be a piece on
1:32:12the side of the wall somewhere it really
1:32:14don't matter to me I'm like David I'd
1:32:16just soon be a doorkeeper
1:32:19as long as I'm there
1:32:22but this one thing I know I won't even
1:32:25make it on The Old Ship of Zion
1:32:27unless I'm without spot or blemish
1:32:30or any such thing because there'll be no
1:32:32sound of any tools
1:32:35[Music]
1:32:38you know there's songs that say
1:32:41we're used to say my dad saying for
1:32:43years in a singing group and I can hear
1:32:45it right now in my mind I can hear that
1:32:47record that they recorded
1:32:50Ten Thousand Years
1:32:53and I'll just be started
1:32:55Ten Thousand Years
1:32:58and I'll just begun
1:33:01there's people who say they'll spend the
1:33:03first ten thousand years
1:33:05around the around the feet of Jesus
1:33:09praising him they were saved
1:33:12and I've heard people say that after
1:33:13that first ten thousand years after
1:33:15they've worshiped the Lord and they take
1:33:16a little break they're going to go find
1:33:18their mother or their father or the
1:33:19Apostle Paul or whoever I'm going to
1:33:21tell you after over 30 years of being in
1:33:23the ministry I do not believe that's
1:33:25true I believe if you take a break from
1:33:27praising Jesus the first person that's
1:33:30going to be on your mind
1:33:33is that man that cut on you or you
1:33:37wouldn't have been there
1:33:44I believe the first person that's going
1:33:45to come to your mind is you're going to
1:33:47think of that man that so many times
1:33:49made your flesh upset
1:33:52so many times it got to working on your
1:33:54son or your daughter or your teenager
1:33:56and you think what's he doing what's he
1:33:59doing but you realize it Dawns on you
1:34:02if I wouldn't have had a Craftsman
1:34:05that was willing to preach me in an
1:34:07altar and take those tools of iron and
1:34:10cut it in my flesh that's what the Bible
1:34:12says the Bible says circumcision of the
1:34:14heart has got to there's got to be a
1:34:16cutting process
1:34:17there's got to be some tools of iron
1:34:19that's applied to us or we want
1:34:24it it won't be worship
1:34:26it won't be worshiped because we don't
1:34:28worship anybody with Jesus
1:34:30it'll be deep on or come here brother
1:34:32Hilton just a second stand right here
1:34:34it'll be deep honor it won't be
1:34:36worshiped but I believe somewhere
1:34:38somewhere when you realize you've made
1:34:41it
1:34:42and you realize you really are in glory
1:34:44you're going to think of all the hurts
1:34:46and the wounds and the jealousy and the
1:34:48strife and the anger and the sin that so
1:34:51easily besets you that this pastor
1:34:53throughout the years built you and built
1:34:56you and cut on you and shaped you and
1:34:59cut it out one more time and then you
1:35:01grew it back but he had enough Mercy to
1:35:04come after it again and a month later
1:35:06you realize it was back in the but the
1:35:08pastor relentlessly chiseled again and
1:35:11in all kind of Mercy just kept cutting
1:35:13and kept oh my God have mercy I'm gonna
1:35:15tell you you're gonna go to him
1:35:17I really believe this after ten thousand
1:35:20years of being around the feet of Jesus
1:35:22you're going to go to him
1:35:24and you're going to say what the Bible
1:35:27says bless it or the feet of him that
1:35:31carried the gospel of peace to lashfield
1:35:35[Music]
1:35:37and God not sent you to Nashville I
1:35:39wouldn't have made it past
1:35:42but you came and you cut me out of that
1:35:45quarry of sin and iniquity and then you
1:35:47didn't leave me alone oh my God you kept
1:35:51cutting you were so patient Pastor you
1:35:54were so long suffering you kept working
1:35:56with me I would mess up if you'd preach
1:36:00again and you'd preach again the altars
1:36:02worked on me and finally when the ship
1:36:04sailed I was able
1:36:06to be a part
1:36:08of those that made it stand together and
