Lord Mark, chapter 6.
Mark 6.
Verse 45 said and straightwayhe constrained his disciples to
get into the ship and to go tothe other side before unto
(02:59):
Bethesda.
While he sent away the people,and when he had sent them away,
he departed to the mountain topray, and when evening was come,
the ship was in the midst ofthe sea and he alone on the land
(03:20):
, and he saw them toiling androwinging, for the wind was
contrary unto them.
And about the fourth watch ofthe night.
He cometh unto them walkingupon the sea and would have
passed by them and he would havepassed by them.
But when they saw him walkingupon the sea, they supposed it
(03:44):
to be a spirit and cried out,for they, they all saw him and
were troubled and immediately hetalked with them and saith unto
them be of good cheer, it is, Ibe not afraid.
And he went up unto them intothe ship and the wind ceased and
they were sore, amazed andthemselves beyond measure and
(04:07):
wondered With the tornado thathit yesterday.
The Lord yesterday at somepoint began to deal with me with
this and they said it startedin Somerset.
(04:32):
Probably most of you have seenthe pictures of the path that it
had, that it landed in Somersetand come all the way up to 80
and made a path and went throughLondon with just the awful
destruction 1006 in the airportand then it went on to
(04:56):
Manchester.
You know, you all know,probably all, and it took
probably the lives of 20 peoplein the state.
People were caught unaware,mostly sleeping, and they ended
up in destruction because theywere asleep.
(05:18):
I feel the burden this morningupon me.
I feel like the Lord waswanting to lift up someone and
you may have wished you obey theLord, but I feel like I'm on
assignment this morning, that Ihave about 30 minutes.
I have about 30 minutes to getyour attention.
(05:41):
I have 30 minutes to wake youup out of sleep.
I feel like that the storm haslanded and is coming.
That's what I want to preachabout this morning.
The storm is coming.
The storm is coming.
It's on its way.
It's landed.
(06:01):
There is a message ofdestruction and you will be lost
.
The storm is on its way.
Oh, help me, holy Ghost.
These men experienced one of thegreatest miracles that any man
could witness, and just hadexperienced it in the feeding of
(06:26):
5,000 people with just a fewloaves and fishes.
And Christ, seeing that it'sgetting late, he tells these men
I'll disperse the crowd and you, fellows, go on ahead.
To sum it up, you all go ahead.
(06:47):
It's getting late and so youall get in the boat and go
across.
So they get into the boat and Ifeel like that it was a sunny
day when they got in the shipand they begin to row across the
lake or the sea, the Sea ofGalilee, which was known for
(07:09):
sudden storms, and so Mark saidhe saw them toiling and rowing,
for the wind was contrary untothem.
And Matthew said but the shipwas now in the midst of the sea
tossed with waves, for the windwas contrary, and it was the
(07:31):
fourth watch of the night, whichwas from three to six in the
morning.
So the disciples had beenrowing all night long.
You ever been there?
You feel like you've been there.
Oh, help me, holy Ghost.
The one thing that they did notexpect this storm at.
(07:55):
Mark said that their heart washardened for the miracle of the
loaves.
How unbelievable is that.
That Christ done all this andthat fast they forgot it, that
fast they didn't count it worthanything in the situation that
(08:16):
they were in.
Oh God, help me, holy Ghost.
The miracle, all that God haddone and all that God is doing
and all that God has wanted todo.
We stand like that this morning,all the miracles that God has
done and all the wonders thatGod has worked, and we stand not
(08:37):
alert, and we stand not knowingand not loving and not on our
toes of what God has done.
All we can see is the currentplace we are.
There's a storm coming.
(08:58):
The force of the storm is great.
The force of the storm is great.
The force of the storm willdiscourage.
The force of the storm willdetermine your fate.
Oh, help me, lord.
The force of the storm willbring fear.
It ain't no accident you'rehere this morning.
(09:18):
The force of the storm willbring unbelief.
You're afraid of the possibledanger and the possible
destruction.
Oh, can you get it fresh inyour mind of all the destruction
and tragedy that we've readabout just across town?
(09:41):
Oh, I wish someone this morning.
Oh, god, help us, lord.
I wish someone this morningwould take me serious.
There's a storm coming.
It's landed and it's on its way.
I said there's a storm coming.
Is anybody listening?
There's a storm coming.
(10:05):
Hurricane Sandy become one ofthe largest hurricanes in
history.
It was first predicted to hitFlorida and then it turned and
it went to the East Coast.
And the television, the articleI was reading that said Good
morning America, the news show,or whatever it, interviewed
multiple New Yorkers that saidthey didn't believe the hype.
(10:29):
The wind may be strong, thenoise, the sound, but I really
don't think it's going to be asbad as they said it will.
So many people from New York toAtlantic City chose to ignore
the warnings and ride it out?
Oh, are you ignoring thewarnings this morning that
(10:52):
there's a storm coming?
Oh, help me Lord, there's astorm coming.
Sandy came and the New Yorkerswoke up.
Submerged neighborhoods andwater soaked electrical
everywhere and the high tideswiped out chunks of the whole
(11:14):
city of Atlantic City.
The shelters they ran to wereflooded.
It rushed salt water into thesubways and other tunnel systems
of lower Manhattan.
The skyline was flashing withtransformers exploding, leaving
millions without electric andhundreds and hundreds and
(11:35):
hundreds, oh God, lost theirlives because they ignored a
four word sentence A storm iscoming, a storm is coming, a
storm is coming.
Are you ignoring it thismorning?
Have you ignored it?
There's a storm coming.
Oh, the faith.
There's a storm, it's on itsway.
(11:57):
Oh, I wonder how much damagehas to happen in the lives of
the people of this church.
I wonder how much damage has tohappen till somebody gets
serious, till somebody gets aburden, till somebody gets an
(12:20):
urgency that a storm is on itsway.
Oh, is there anybody thismorning that wants to get with
me?
and get in an urgency that astorm is on its way.
Oh, is there anybody thismorning that wants to get with
me and get in an urgency thatthere's a storm coming?
Oh, warn somebody, tellsomebody it's on its way.
Oh, help us, holy Ghost, wakeus up, lord, god, wake us, holy
(12:46):
Ghost, wake us up, lord, god,wake us up, lord.
Galveston, texas, was on thecoastline of Texas and it was
rapidly growing from in 1890,29,000 people and it jumped to
(13:07):
38,000 in 1900.
It was the fourth largest cityin Texas and among the highest
in per capita income rates inthe US.
This is in 1900.
It was considered the WallStreet of the Southwest.
(13:30):
The position on the bay made itthe biggest trade hubs in the
nation.
But with this prosperity, ohGod, came a sense of complacency
.
You hear me, are you listening?
They had got complacent.
(13:52):
The residents believed anyfuture storms would be no worse
than the previous storms thatthey'd already withstood.
And it even went as far as aman named Isaac Klein.
He was over the weather bureaufor the city, the area of
(14:16):
Galveston, and he wrote anarticle in the paper that it
would be impossible for ahurricane of significant
strength to strike GalvestonIsland.
So no seawall was built, nosand dunes was put in place to
(14:37):
fight off the weather that wouldcome in from the ocean.
So the weather forecasters hadseen a storm in September of
1900, and they were following it.
It was a major storm.
They said it would hit Floridaand Louisiana.
(15:00):
They didn't do it like we dotoday, but they were following
it.
The Weather Bureau had justbeen in business for about 10
years and so they wasn't namingstorms and all this stuff that
they're doing now.
They wasn't naming storms andall this stuff that they're
doing now.
(15:20):
And so they were saying that itwould hit Louisiana and Florida
.
And there was a Cuban WeatherBureau fellow that said that
it's going to continue.
What I'm seeing into centralTexas, that what I'm seeing into
central Texas.
(15:40):
And on the morning of September8th, because of the remarkable
weather, very few residents sawthe cause for concern.
They were at ease.
The weather was good.
Don't mess my life up.
I'm good where I'm at.
Don't tell me what's going tohappen.
(16:01):
Don't burden me.
Don't burden me with thischurch stuff.
Don't mess my life up.
I've got everything undercontrol.
I'm at ease.
Anybody listening out there?
Don't mess my life up.
But on that morning they weregoing about their ways, they
(16:25):
were working on the ports, theywere doing everything Because it
was a beautiful sunny day.
Isaac Klein, according to hismemoir, he began to see evidence
and he knew what he wrote andhe knew what he said.
But with all the stuff theywere saying and he began to look
(16:48):
and see, he began to scrap hisidea and he went and got on his
horse and he began to ride.
Glory to God.
The great Galveston hurricanemade landfall September 8, 1900,
with 140-mile-an-hour winds.
Category 4, as we categorize inmodern times, pushed a 15-foot
(17:16):
high, tall wall through the city.
To this day, 125 years later,it is number two on the all-time
cost in today's money $1.25billion and by far it has the
(17:37):
most casualties, with eight totwelve thousand fatalities.
Oh, it was such a tragedy.
They was.
I think it was 3 600 homes andit was 7 000 businesses that was
destroyed and what kept it?
There was a catholic home therethat the nuns tied 10 at a time
(17:59):
of the orphans to them and theyall died.
Oh god, help me.
Oh god, help me.
It was such such a horrendousdamage that it changed the whole
weather bureau that they do itlike they do it today.
That's why they do it becauseof this storm.
It wiped the whole place out.
(18:23):
And Isaac Klein, when he finallyseen it coming, he got up and
he rode down the beach in hishorse and he screamed and he
cried, but nobody would listen,nobody would take heed.
There's a storm coming.
Is anybody listening?
There's a storm coming.
We're at ease, we're incomplacency.
(18:45):
We're not eager, we're notdesiring a move of God.
We've come complacent in ourpews.
And there's a storm coming.
Oh, there's a storm coming andthere's a storm coming.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh, there's a storm
coming.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Oh, god, help us.
Because of prosperity.
God help me and the cares ofthis life and the deceitfulness
of riches.
They would not heed thewarnings.
And 8,000 to 12,000, none ofthem.
(19:23):
There's been hundreds, I think,the ordinate of those 20 maybe,
and that's too many, I know,but 8,000 to 12,000 people, by
far this was the worst tragedy.
How many souls is going to belost from this church?
I could talk about the worldlychurch and all the destruction.
(19:51):
I come on the radio and Imentioned to Melinda this
morning coming over here I'm notgoing to get off my subject,
but he was talking Calvinisticdoctrine and how can you say
that God created all thesepeople to go to hell?
It doesn't even line up withthe love of God.
But how many people from thischurch has to be lost?
(20:24):
How many people from thischurch will backslide?
How many right now is cold I'mon assignment this morning,
pastor how many right nowsitting in your pew?
That you're not what Rodneysaid.
(20:47):
You're not what you was, butyou're not what you ought to be.
Hell hath enlarged itself.
The reason hell hath enlargeditself, reason hell hath
enlarged itself because it wascreated for the devil and his
angels, so it wasn't this big,massive place and it's.
(21:08):
It's a certain size to containthe devil and his angels, but
hell every day has to enlargeitself, for so many souls is
lost and going to hell, and howmany souls does it take out of
this church?
How much of our family has tobe lost?
Oh God, help us.
(21:28):
The storms are coming.
The storms are coming.
Oh, I wish I could get anurgency.
I wish I could get somebody towake up.
Wake up, the storms are coming.
Jake meant Corey Patton out atLowe's or somewhere, stephen
(21:51):
Patton, and he knew somebodythat was in one house and
another soul was in anotherhouse.
They made it on the housebeside and the house beside of
them didn't make it and all theycould conclude is they were
(22:13):
asleep.
They were asleep, they wereasleep.
Oh, I fear in my soul thatcomplacency and the cares of
this life revival has gone outof sight for this church.
(22:36):
Oh God, help me.
I'm preaching to us thismorning.
The cares of this life and theproblems and the troubles and
the struggles that we have, andall the pressure that's on us to
achieve and to do, and all thethings in life that we have to
do, oh God, and then here we are, oh God, souls that we have to
(22:57):
do, oh God.
And then here we are, oh God,souls that's going to hell, and
souls and families here thismorning that's got lost, people.
Oh God, help me.
Oh God, help me.
And where's?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
the urgency.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
And where's the oh
God, where's the?
Scared that we're scared thatsomething's fixing to happen.
Look, is anybody looking?
There's a storm coming.
Wake up, church Wake up, wakeup.
(23:33):
How long?
How long can we come, y'all?
I don't think nobody's gettingthis.
Nobody's listening, nobody'swaking up.
How long will we sleep asothers go to hell?
How long will we be satisfiedwith that revival?
(23:58):
Was that Leonard Ravenhill thatsaid we were content to live
without it?
That's why we don't haverevival.
It's because we're content, andI'll say this much.
It's not that only we'recontent, it's that we're asleep
and the storm.
Say this much.
It's not that only we'recontent, it's that we're asleep
(24:19):
and the storm's upon us.
I've spent enough time thatit's made it from Somerset to
London.
And here we are this morning.
The storm is upon us.
Are you awake?
Are you awake?
Are you awake?
Read it.
(24:53):
And there was found no placefor them and I saw the dead,
small and great, stand beforeGod and the books were opened.
And another book was opened,which is the book of life, and
the dead were judged out ofthose things which were written
(25:17):
in the books according to theirworks, and the sea gave up the
dead which were in it and deathand hell delivered up the dead
which were in them and they werejudged, every man, according to
their works, and death and hellwere cast into the lake of fire
(25:39):
.
This is the second death, andwhosoever was not found written
in the book of life was castinto the lake of fire.
The storm's here, Is it a fairytale?
(26:01):

to get in the tub, as they tellyou do in tornadoes.
Brian was behind him, coming alittle bit behind him, and he
come to the door and it hit andblew him through the wall into
(27:07):
an outside wall in Justin's roomand they went the other way and
they never even made it to thetub.
God was with them, had to beDarkness, no electric rain and a
storm and Brian come to hiscell and he got up to go find
(27:31):
his wife and child and didn'tknow how he was going to in the
darkness and the only thing thatled him to was he heard Justin

I wish there was some youngpeople that would get on the
phones.
Instead of every junky thingthat's going and coming, they
would start telling theirfriends, they would start
telling their family the storm'scoming, the storm's coming.
(30:04):
I wish us middle-aged folks andus older folks would get off
the cares of this life so muchthat it's burdened us down, that
we can't see nothing, that wecan't think and get out from
under the burdens of the houseof God and a move of God, oh God

family.
God save us, god save my family,god save us, god save us.
(30:55):
Are you out there?
Yeah, I ain't preaching goodenough.
All it took.
After the storm In Galveston,they raised the shoreline with
(31:16):
sand in 1,918 feet.
After the storm it was too late.
They built a 10-foot seawalland with the destruction I can't
remember I got all the housesand debris piled up, or it would
(31:41):
have been worse.
It stopped the sea from comingin because of all the
destruction, and all it took wasIsaac Klein before then, say
there's a storm coming, it'sgoing to happen.
The residents was at ease,though, when he said it was
(32:05):
impossible for a hurricane ofthat magnitude to hit the shore.
They've said he's coming foryears.
He don't have to come.
We can walk out of here, thisplace, and get in our car and go
meet the Lord in judgment.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
That's right woe to
them that are me.
Thank God, I feel the HolyGhost.
