All right, let's turn in our
Bibles tonight to the book of Numbers chapter number 10. Numbers
chapter number 10 in your Bible, amen. And I am, we had to step
out for just a little while this morning, didn't wanna have to
leave, but we did go and see our grandbaby, amen. Had another
grandbaby, all five pounds of him. Amen, five pounds of him,
amen. But I appreciate y'all understanding,
amen. We stepped out and got to see
our grandbaby. We're real busy here lately. And so we wanted
to get a chance to see him, amen. All right, let's stand together.
Numbers chapter number 10 in your Bible, Numbers chapter number
10. in the scriptures tonight. We're gonna look at verse number
29 and read just a little bit, and then we'll do our best to
be as brief as we possibly can in the message tonight so that
Brother Raines can come. It's my understanding he's preaching
next, and so we'll give him as much time as we possibly can.
Numbers chapter number 10 in your Bible, verse number 29.
If you found your place, say, I am there. I am there. Now look
what our Bible says. And Moses said unto Hobab, how'd
you like for your name to be, Hobab? Makes you feel better
about Joe, don't it, Brother Bryant? Amen, amen, or Larry,
amen, amen. That's exactly right, amen, Hobab. Moses said unto Hobab, the son
of Raguel, Amen, and I can't help but think about, I know
I've said this before, but I think about spaghetti every time I
say raguel. Amen, maybe some of that real, you know, Parmesan
cheese on top, big meatballs about that big around, amen.
Maybe some garlic bread, salad on the side, ranch dressing,
maybe, amen, have a little bit of iced tea, amen. Amen, amen. Moses said unto Hobab, the son
of spaghetti, I mean raguel, the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law. We are journeying unto the place
of which the Lord said, I will give it you. Come thou with us
and we will do thee good. For the Lord hath spoken good
concerning Israel. And he said unto him, I will
not go. But I will depart to mine own
land and to my kindred. I wanna preach tonight concerning
this man named Hobab. I wanna preach on Hobab's great
decision. Hobab's great decision. Let's
pray tonight and then you can be seated. Father, we sure do
thank you again for letting us be in the house of God tonight.
Lord, the preaching this morning was tremendous. God, we're looking
forward to what you're gonna do with Brother Raines, God,
and the message you'll have with him. But God, for this allotted
time, I pray, God, that you would anoint me afresh and fill me,
God, with your spirit. God, I'm praying, Lord, that
you would give me unction and power, God, that only you can
give. For Lord, without you tonight, God, it'd be a waste of time,
Lord. It'll be a bunch of words that
doesn't change anything. It'll be a matter of time, and
Lord, it may just be something, Lord, that no one gets any help
from. But God, if you'll touch it tonight,
God, there could be some great things happen tonight. God, we
realize, Lord, without you, God, it's all in vain. So God, we're
asking, Lord, that you'd touch the message tonight. God, take
my body, a living sacrifice. Fill me, God, and use me tonight.
And God, may there be power on the message for your glory and
not mine. God, we'll tell everybody what you've done in Jesus' name.
Amen and amen, you can be seated. I'm dealing tonight with this
man named Hobab and his great decision. Hobab's great decision
that he made. I looked up the word, the name
Hobab, it means beloved. Moses loved Hobab. Now, Brother Brian, I looked,
And I've tried to find out some things about Hobab and there's
not a lot in our Bible about it. Brother Price, it kind of
tells us and makes it look like that perhaps maybe this is Moses'
brother-in-law and that he may be the son of Jethro. Amen. Then there's another thought
that it may be Jethro. You know, you can have more than
one name. This word Raguel, and then over there in another place
in the scripture, that word Raguel seems to be spelled differently.
But Brother Jones, that's not really what I'm concerned about
tonight, whether he was his father-in-law or whether he was his brother-in-law.
But what I am concerned tonight about is whether Hobab, amen,
got saved. Hobab got, amen, to be in the
family of God. That's my concern. Tonight, my
concern is not what your name is. My concern is not who you
belong to, who your daddy is, or who you're akin to, but my
concern is is whether you're gonna go to heaven. when it's
all said and done. My concern tonight is what decision
that you've made. Now, I've been in this for a
long time, Brother Jimbo, a man knows this, that there was a
time when we got concerned about, Brother Raines, people using
the word decision. There was a time, Brother Young,
years and years ago, amen, when we encouraged people to make
a decision for Christ. But then it got into, Brother
Lockard, you remember, it got into where it was just a bunch
of decisions, but it wasn't life-changing. They preached about that this
morning, amen. That fruit wasn't there, Brother Jones. And they
were just rededicating their rededication from their rededication. And the decision word kind of
got to the place to where we kind of wanted to back away from
it. Even someone used the word profession.
I believe it was Brother Jones talking about a profession. And
we kind of got a little bit cringy around the word profession because
people were doing it and Brother Wales, it wasn't changing anything.
There wasn't any fruit coming out of it. It was a decision,
but it wasn't a salvation. Amen, it was a profession, but
it wasn't a possession. Amen, it just didn't get the
job done. And so Brother Turner, I'm concerned
here though about his decision. You'll make a decision in your
life. Amen. You'll make a lot of decisions.
Even throughout the day, you'll make decisions. What time you
gonna get up in the morning? Are you gonna eat breakfast?
What you gonna have? Cereal? Oatmeal? Amen. Eggs? Bacon? Amen. You make decisions throughout
the day. Are you gonna go this direction?
Are you gonna go that? Are you gonna go in your car? Are you
gonna go in another way? Hey, and you got all these decisions
to make. But the most important decision
is when the invitation comes from God, amen, are you going
to come, amen, and make a decision to follow God? Now, some people
will say words, but we know words are not enough. Amen. It is a
tremendous change in your life. Therefore, if any man be in Christ,
he's a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold,
all things are become new. Amen. It will be like you're
born again. a redeemed, amen. You will be
a completely and entirely a new creature according to our Bible. And so we're looking here in
the scripture. I've got to get busy. Hey man, I want to start off
first of all, number one tonight. Hey man, I want to start off
with the grand pilgrimage. Hey man, Moses begins to talk
to Hobab and I'm going to use him here as his brother-in-law.
Amen, I'm gonna use it here. He says, we're journeying unto
the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you. We're journeying,
amen, to the place that's flowing with milk and honey. He says,
we're not there yet, but we're on our way. Hey, you know what?
If you can picture it in your mind, hey man, they're still
in the barren places, they're still in the little tents, amen,
and he's trying to get him to see not where they're at right
now, Brother Raines, but where they're gonna be, amen, not the
promises that they had at the very moment, but the Canaan land,
amen, on the other side. Amen, that's what we gotta get
them to say. Amen, a lot of people, they don't want what we got.
My, my, you gotta do this, you can't do that. And my, my, they
gotta, and they say, why would I want what you got? Amen, it
ain't what we got right now. Amen, it's what we're gonna have
later. Now, if you can see that, amen, if you can believe that,
if you can trust that, then you already got a vision of that,
amen, and you know that it's coming, amen, and it's as good
as there. But for those that can't see
it, and they're only going off of what we're showing them, Brother
Joe, amen, then we have to tell them about what it's gonna be.
Amen. I thought Brother Jones kind
of got a little excited there, amen, this morning. Amen. I like
it when the pastor gets up, amen, gets to crying. You know what
he's doing? He's getting a glimpse, a fresh glimpse, amen, of what
he's seeing in the future. Brother Billy, that's easy to
get excited when you know, amen, that you're gonna be in heaven
someday. Now, what we're trying to get them to see is not what
we got right here. Why would I want what you got?
Your house ain't as nice as their house. Your car ain't nice. Hey,
your truck ain't as nice. You ain't got this and you ain't
got that. And you're giving tithes and missions and going to church
all the time. They're over here partying and
they got this and that. Why would I want what you got?
It ain't what you see right now. This is not our heaven, amen.
And so we got a place, Brother Philip, later, and we're trying
to get them to see it. Moses is trying to tell Hobab
about, amen, the promises. We're just journeying now. Amen,
kind of reminds me of a few songs, amen. Like page number six. ♪
While traveling through this world of sorrow ♪ I'm on my way
to glory land ♪ I'll not turn back for some tomorrow ♪ My triangle's
here I'll understand You know what, I think about that. Won't
it be wonderful here, no not here, amen, there, amen. Won't it be one walking and talking
with Christ the supernal one. Won't it be wonderful there,
there, amen. Hey man, I think about will you
meet me over yonder Amen, or I'm a glad pilgrim on my way. Amen, I'm going to a better country.
Or some of these days I'm going home. There's a city of gold
across the river. Amen, or when the redeemed are
gathering in. Amen, this is not it. This is not it, this is the journey. Some of you young people need
to hear me tonight. Amen, this is not it. Amen, this is wonderful. Amen, I'm sure that Moses and
them, hey, they had theirselves a time. Amen, there was times
when they had meetings, I'm sure. Amen, and it got out of the banks. Probably Moses stood up and started
testifying about how God saved him. Amen, and it probably got
on. Maybe some of the others stood
up. Joshua or Caleb said, let me
say something right here. Amen, I'm sure it got on. But
this is not it. Amen, they're just journeying
to where God's promised them to be. Amen, Hebrews 13, 14 says,
for here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come. We're looking to a city, amen,
that we're gonna live in. Amen? So I see the grand pilgrimage. In other words, he gives him
an offer, listen to this now, an offer of salvation. An offer of salvation. Amen,
number two tonight, amen, I not only see the grand pilgrimage,
but I see the glorious promise. Amen, in verse number 29, he
tells him, we're journeying unto the place which the Lord said,
I'll give it you. He said, come thou. Come thou
with us and we will do thee good. For the Lord hath spoken good
concerning Israel. And so then he begins to tell
him, amen, some promises of some things. Amen, one of the things
is safety. Not only is he promising here
an offer of salvation, but he's giving him an offer of safety. Come with us and we'll do you
good. Amen, we'll take care of you, we'll provide for you. Amen,
we'll keep you safe. But then I hate to say this,
but I see the great problem. In verse number 30, Hobab said
unto them, I will not go. He said unto him, I will not
go, but I will depart to my own land and to my kindred. I'm not gonna go with you, Moses.
Moses, I'm sure, amen, him knowing what's in the future, Brother
Steve, him knowing the great promises of God, Brother Young,
him knowing, amen, he could see it, amen, he's trying to get,
ain't it hard, amen, to get a lost person to see it, amen, and he's
trying to help him, he's trying to love him, and so you need
to come with us. Hope said, I'm not gonna go with
you. I'm going back. I'm going back to my land and
I'm going back to my people. I jotted it down here, amen. He said, I will not go, but I
will depart. What caused him to want to go
back? Maybe it was his farm. He said,
I'm going back to my land. Maybe he had some land. Maybe
he had a farm. I don't know, we don't know.
We're gonna have to just use some imagination. Something was
drawing him back, amen. Maybe he liked the land where
he was at, amen. Then he said he wanted to go
back to his kindred, amen. Maybe he had family or friends
that he was gonna go back to. Now, Brother Young, here's the
problem we've got today, amen. Sometimes and many times, especially
in the beginning, if you're gonna go with God, You're gonna have
to go on without your friends. Now, you can go back and try
to get them, but you're gonna have to make a decision, a decision,
amen, to go on with God. Amen, you may have to leave your
family, amen, to be the first one to go to God, amen, so that
the rest will come. Amen, I might have even preached
it here, Noah went in, hey, you remember, hey, Noah went in,
amen, and because Noah went in the ark, amen, Noah's wife went
in the ark. And because Noah and his wife
were in the ark, amen, Noah's sons went in the ark. And because
Noah and his wife and his sons went in the ark, amen, Noah's
sons' wives went in the ark. He got his family in because
he went in. Wonder what would have happened
if Noah never would have went in. And his family wouldn't have
went in. That's following somebody, but
he had to make a choice. He went in. Amen. You got to
make a choice. You got to make a decision. Moses
is saying, Hey, come go with us. We'll do you good. He said,
I'm not going to go, but I'm going to go back to my land.
I'm going to go back to my, to my family, to my friends, to
my farm, maybe even his fame. See, if he is Moses' brother-in-law,
or even if not, amen, there's a priesthood. Amen, Jethro was
what? A priest of Midian. Amen, he was religious. Are y'all
listening? Amen, he was a religious. And so, not with the God of Moses. He has no claim in the family
of God, but he's got religion. Maybe, just maybe, Hobab says,
hey, if I go back, someday I'm gonna be the priest. Someday
I'm gonna ride in the chariot, or I'm gonna be the one, hey,
in the fancy royal garment. I'm gonna be the one they come
to, amen, and they ask me for things. So why do I need to go
with you, Moses? He probably looked around in
the camp. Bunch of old tents been put up and down, up and
down, up and down. Are y'all listening? Y'all okay
with me? He's probably looking around
saying, why would I want to go with you when I can go back and I
can be the priest someday? I can go back and I can have
the royal garments. I can go back and have my friends
and my family and my farm. I can have fame. Why do I want
to go with you? I ain't going. Brother Wells,
hey, Brother Wells gonna say amen right here. It seems like
it's a lot harder to get people to come, amen, in this generation
than it was 25 years ago, 35 years ago, why? Because they
got so much more, so much more, amen, pulling and tugging on
them now. My, my, my, their minds are consumed with the things
of this world. So then sure enough, Hobab's
decision, his decision is no, I'm not going. But thank God,
now I wanna say this, thank God Moses didn't give up too easy.
Verse number 31, amen, I see his general pleading or persuading,
and he said, leave us not, I pray thee, for as much as thou knowest
how we are in camp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead
of eyes, And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall
be that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, how the same
will we do unto thee. He's saying as we go out, amen,
and God blesses us, amen, God'll do the same thing to you. He
gives him an invitation of salvation. He gives him an invitation of
safety. He gives him an invitation to serve. He said if you come
with us, you'll have a real purpose, a real reason for life. And I
don't know that Hobab listened. I wish I could say, Brother Philip,
that Hobab went with him, praise God, and lived happily ever after,
but I can't find it in the scriptures. You know, it's interesting, Brother
Bryant, but he kind of leaves this just for us to answer the
question. Perhaps God left it blank for us so that we could
say he either went on with Moses or he went back. You say, well,
the next verse says, Brother Frazier, and they departed from
the mount of the Lord three days journey. But it doesn't make
it clear whether Hobab went with him. Yeah, they all departed,
but did Hobab go? So I see the gentle pleading,
the begging, if you would. I pray thee, don't leave us. Don't leave us, come with us.
Come and go with us. We're going on for God. This
is not it. It's coming up. There's a lamb
flowing, there's a paradise on the other side. There's blessings
of God. Amen. There's safety. Amen. There's service. God will bless
you for it if you'll come and go with us. But we don't know
that he did. So, Brother Williams, we see
here, amen, that not only the grand pilgrimage, the glorious
promise, the great problem, amen, the gentle pleading and persuading,
but then we see, amen, God's punishment. I want you to turn
with me over to chapter number 31 for just a moment. And I don't
know if Hobab went with him or not. I would hope and think that
he did. I wish that he did. I mean, it
would be great if he did. But, Brother Young, I can't promise
you that he did. I can only say that Moses, I
pleaded with him. Why? Because Moses knew that
there would be a day when the judgment of God would come. In
chapter number 31, we see the judgment of God. And the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying, Avenge the children of Israel of the
Midianites. Afterwards shalt thou be gathered
unto thy people. Moses spake unto the people,
told them to arm theirselves unto war, amen, and go against
the Midianites. Every tribe, a thousand throughout
the tribes of Israel. And they came together, look
at verse number seven, and they warred against the Midianites.
Hey, who was Hobab? He was a Midianite. Hobab said,
I'm not going with you, I'm going back to Midia. And if he did,
brother Wales, he's right here. And verse number seven says,
they warred against the Midianites as the Lord commanded Moses.
And what does that next part of that verse say? And they slew
all the males. They slew the kings of Midian
beside the rest of them that were slain. Namely, he begins
to name off those Midianites and the children of Israel. Verse
number nine, took all the women of the Midian captives and their
little ones and took the spoil of their cattle and their flocks,
all their goods, and they burnt all their cities wherein they
dwelt and all their good castles with fire. And they took all
the spoil and all the prey of both the men and the beast. And
we're going farther, Brother Wales, and found out that Moses
wouldn't even let them keep the women. Take them out and kill
them. And Brother Turner, if Hobab
was in media, Moses led his people to slaughter them and burn everything
they got. When the people of Israel walked
out of that camp, there was nothing left. You say, but they was dwelling
in tents. It looks like they had fine castles, is what it
said right here, fine castles. Man, that's some nice castles.
You know what they done to them nice castles? They burn them
to the ground. All their goodly castles, verse
number 10. They burn all their cities wherein
they dwelt and all their goodly castles with fire. You wanna
know what happened? If Hobab said, no, I'm not gonna
go with you, Moses. And Moses, you know what I believe?
Hey, y'all hang with me for just another minute. I believe Moses
was crying. Hey, Brother Raines, wasn't Moses
known as the meekest? Wasn't he known as a meek man? Didn't he have a heart of compassion?
Didn't he care about people? Surely he did. I know they murmured
against him. I know he struck the rock, Brother
Jimbo, I know that. Hey, man, but he was known for
being meek. I believe here with Hobab, whom
he loved, he was begging him, Brother Philip, begging him not
to leave. Don't leave us. I pray thee,
don't leave us. I believe, hey, his lip began
to quiver. I believe, hey, tears began to
weld up in his eyes. And he said, Hobab, don't leave
us. Don't leave us. Don't go. Come with us. Hey, come with
us. Hobab may have turned around
and said, no, no, I'm not gonna go with you, Moses. Please, don't
leave us. He said, no, I'm going on. Probably
as he walked out of his tent, Moses screamed and hollered,
don't leave, don't leave! It may have been your tent. It
may have been your tent, brother. I believe it was. You had set
up at the old-fashioned Goliath Baptist Church many years ago.
And Brother Donnie Harvey asked me if I'd come up and preach
one time in it. I don't know Jimbo, you might've been there,
I don't know. I came up to the meeting, been a long time ago.
I mean, 20 plus years probably. I remember going up there to
preach. I got up and as I preached, man, there was a pile of people
under that old tent set up by that little church. Man, I got
up there and I preached hard as I could. It was hot, I sweated. The invitation time come. And
pastor, I began to beg and plead with people to come. And there
was some that came down. Matter of fact, I think a family
member, a brother Harvey, someone close to him was getting saved
over here. A young teenage girl was getting saved over here.
But there was a man in the back. In the back, he raised up his
hand saying he was lost. And he had a smile on his face.
And I said, don't leave the tent! He turned around and started
walking out of the tent. Brother Raines, I said, no! Don't leave
the tent, don't leave the tent! Oh God got all over me. Hey man,
don't let him leave, don't let him leave. I begged and pleaded
with him. Hey man, he started out towards
his car. I screamed and hollered with
everything I had. Don't leave the tent, don't leave
the tent! But he went out and got in his
car. He looked back at me and waved, Brother Turner. He had
to pull up to the side right here. The road was right between
the tent and the church. Had to stop at the stop sign.
And I remember running to the edge of the tent, and even out
the back of it, screaming while he went by, don't leave the tent!
Don't leave the tent! But he went on and left the tent. Brother Harvey called me. He
said, you know that guy that you were screaming at, don't
leave the tent? He went home, walked in this little trailer,
sat down on the couch, slumped over and fell over dead on the
couch. You remember that? I can't remember,
seemed like his name was like Denny or something. I can't remember,
he's about 30 years old. I begged and pleaded, don't leave
the tent, don't leave the tent! But Brother Wayne, he left the
tent. Could it have been that Moses was that way? Moses said,
you don't understand. It's not only that we're journeying
to a better place, but those that are in our way, those that don't come with us. Brother Jones, everybody, including
everybody in this room that don't go with us, they're gonna burn. Everybody in this room that don't
go with us, you're gonna burn. Brother Wayne, I don't care how
much you love him. I don't care how many times you
prayed for him and preached to him and pleaded. I don't care
how many times you sung just as I am and begged him and yelled
it over and sung it again. It's not gonna matter when it's
all said and done and it's over. They're gonna burn. They're gonna
burn. Brother Lockard, they're gonna
burn. They're gonna die and they're gonna burn. Why? Because if you
don't come with us, You're gonna burn. You're gonna come with
God or you're gonna burn, you better hear me. You're gonna
come with God or you're gonna burn. So Moses pleaded with him. Don't
leave, don't leave. I pray thee. You know what that
means? It's simple, he's begging him.
I pray they don't leave. Don't leave, I'm leaving, I'm
going back to Midian. Moses may be already in his mind.
Maybe he already knows, I don't know. It's just a few more chapters
here. Maybe Moses, maybe God's already
told him. When we cross over, everybody
in the way! Everybody in the way! Are you
listening? Moses may already know his end.
Brother Wells, if Moses didn't know his end, He noted when God
spoke to him and said, kill everybody in the Midianites. Is that right,
Brother Wayne? Do you think he got it when God
said, hey, I want you, verse number one of chapter 31, I have
the Lord speaking to Moses, avenge the children of Israel, the Midianites.
Maybe when God said that to him, Brother Wales, amen, Moses standing
there and God spoke to him just as clear as I'm speaking and
said, avenge the children of Israel, of the, they cringed
for a moment. God said the Midianites. And
Moses probably, his heart probably skipped a beat, a lump come up
in his throat, Brother Goolsby, and he probably thought, oh no!
I remember when Hobab walked out of my tent! And I said, Hobab,
don't go, don't go! But he did anyway. And now, it's his end. Brother Steve, there's nothing
Moses can do about it. You know what? Hey, Hobab made
his decision. And I went to God, Brother Turner,
I could say that Hobab went with Moses. I wish I could say, and
they, when it said, and they, amen, went three times. I wish
I could say Moses changed his mind. I mean, Moses wept for
him. Moses said, please don't go. And Hobab said, you know
what, Ben, you love me that much that you're willing to weep and
cry, amen, that I'm gonna go with you. But it don't say he
did. And as a matter of fact, it don't give us any more mention
of it. Surely, surely if Hobab would have went with him, there'd
have been somewhere where it said in Moses, I went with his
men and Hobab was there. But Brother Price, there's no
mention of him. I'm gonna tell you why, Brother Jimbo, because
he didn't go with him. But he went back. He probably
went back to his land. Man, when he walked in, everybody
celebrated there so bad. He might have even got his promotion.
They made him give him the royal garment and a big fancy hat and
some rings on his fingers. And he might have gone to go
in to the big priestly section of their worship center. But
then there was a day come. There was a day come when somebody's
come screaming through the camp and said, Hobab, it's terrible.
It's terrible. Hobab said, what is it? The Israelites
are coming. Moses is coming. And it probably
surged through his mind. And he probably said, it's too
late. I wish I'd have stayed with Moses. I wish I'd have heard
him. I wish I'd have listened to him.
I wish I'd have went with him. He invited me. He said, come
with us. Come with us, he said, but he
didn't. When they come running in with the swords, and they
come running in with the fire, Hobab died and went to hell,
and left his eyes and his eternal flame. You know what we do every week
here? You say, Preacher, you're not a member here. You don't
go here every week. I don't have to go here to know what you do
every week. You plead with sinners to come with you. Oh, you may
not say it exactly like that, Brother Young. You may be over
at your church, amen, but you know what you're doing? You're
pleading with them to come with you. Brother Goosby, every time
you get up to preach, you're saying, come with us. Hey, Brother
Wales, every time he goes around to the band, come with us. Amen,
Brother Raines, going place to place, every church he's going
to, amen, come and go with us. Come and go with us. Hey, it's
gonna be great. This is not it. This is wonderful,
but this is not all of it. Someday, Brother Jones, in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, our Lord will come into
the sky with the voice of the archangel, the trump of God,
and the dead in Christ shall rise first, and then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with him.
Amen. The Bible says our bodies will be changed. Amen. We'll
have glorified bodies like unto his body. We'll meet him in the
sky, Brother Jimbo. Amen. And your brother will be
there. Amen. I'll turn around, maybe a poke
on my shoulder. I'll turn around real quick and
it'll be stintin' blue. Amen, with his arms out here like this.
Amen, and he grabs me and hugs me. Amen, I glance over. Amen,
and there's Brother Buster. And he's got Jim in his arms
and he's holding him up tight. Amen, your mama's there. And
your daddy. Amen, it's a glorious day. And
we leave out of here. Amen, stepping through a door,
coming out the other side. Amen, we're in paradise. We're
in God's paradise. Amen, we can see the glory of
God. Amen, and all of its beauty.
Someday to walk down a street of gold. Amen, walls of jasper,
gates of pearl. Amen, the foundation of the city.
Amen, is awesome and tremendous. But the greatest thing is the
Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
♪ When with the Savior we enter
the glory land ♪ Won't it be wonderful there ♪ Praising, adoring
the matchless eternal one ♪ Won't it be wonderful there Will you
come and go with us? Now, here's the thing. If Moses
could have, if God would have given him the ability to have
done it, Moses would not have let him leave the tent. But it's a free will. I got this feeling that Moses
said, now, Hobab, I love you, and I'm begging you to stay with
us. But if you leave and go back, your end's not gonna be good.
Hobat probably smiled and said, now Moses, you've got your thoughts
and we've got ours and we're just a different people and I
know you married my sister, but you know, I'll see you down the
path somewhere. Moses probably said, yeah, you'll
see me down the path somewhere, but it's not gonna be good when
you see me. It's not gonna be good. You say, but preacher,
people love me here. I'll see them on down the path
somewhere. You know what, it won't be good when you see them.
You say, well, I'll see Jesus. At your great white throne, you'll
see him. You know what you're gonna see? You're not gonna see
the loving, wonderful face of Jesus, amen, the one that said,
whosoever will, let him come. The one that said, come down,
let us reason together. The one that said, come unto
me. Oh, you're the laborer, heavy laden. But in this time, you'll
see him with his fearsome face. And you'll run from him and hide
and try. Because you wouldn't go with
him. Come and go with us. Come and go with us. It'll be
the greatest thing you've ever done. Come and go with us. You
say, but preacher, I'm not sure about everything. I'm not sure
about everything either. But what I am sure about, Brother
Sammy Allen says, I don't know everything. But he said, what
I do know, I know it real good, he said. Amen, you know what?
I don't know everything. But you know what, Brother Grisham?
I know what I do know, I know it real good. And you know what
I know? I know we're winning. Amen, at the end of this thing,
those that go with Jesus, amen, those that accept Christ, at
the end of this book, we win! God, we win. And those that do
not come, they lose. Will you come and
go with us? Will you come and go with us?
Preacher, I'm done. Help us, Lord Jesus. Come and go with us. Don't miss
it. Would you come and go with us
tonight? There's probably more than one
person in here that's not saved, Preacher. You could come and
go with us. Pastor would love it if you'd
come and go with us. There's probably somebody in here. Hey,
I'll just be honest with you. On the outside, you look real
good. Hobab probably looked real good. He probably fit in real
good, but he didn't go with them. Would you come and go with us
tonight? If you're here tonight and not saved, would you come
and go with us? This is your night. It'd be a wonderful time.
Why don't you come and go with us? You say, preacher, though,
I just can't see it like you do. Well, this ain't it. Hey, man, get in here. Hey, man,
go with us. Hey, man, I promise you, he'll
do you good. I promise you, you'll be glad you done it. Come go
with us. Come go with us, amen.
