A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

Why Call Me, Lord, Lord

JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM, SAID THESE WORDS.

Lk:6:46: And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (KJV)

WHEN YOU READ IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES THAT GOD, THROUGH THE APOSTLES, COMMANDS YOU TO DO A CERTAIN THING, DO IT. IF GOD COMMANDS YOU NOT TO DO SOMETHING, DON'T DO IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. IF A MAN DOES WHAT GOD COMMANDS HE IS LIKE A MAN THAT HAS BUILT HIS HOUSE ON A SOLID ROCK. WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE COME HIS HOUSE WILL STAND.

Mt:7:24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Mt:7:25: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Mt:7:26: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Mt:7:27: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

A MAN'S HOUSE CAN BE THE DWELLING THAT HE LIVES IN. AND IF A MAN BUILDS HIS HOME STRONG, UPON A SOLID FOUNDATION, UPON A ROCK, WHEN THE HURRICANES COME HIS HOUSE WILL STAND, BUT IF HE BUILDS UPON SAND, THE WINDS WILL CAUSE HIS HOME TO PERISH. THINK ON THIS, SAINTS OF GOD, A MAN'S HOUSE CAN BE DEFINED AS HIS FAMILY, HIS FATHER, MOTHER, SISTERS, AND BROTHERS, HIS AUNTS AND UNCLES, AND ALL OF HIS KIN. THERE IS A MOST PRECIOUS PROMISE THAT GOD HAS MADE TO YOU, THE ELECT OF GOD, AND THAT IS IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL BE SAVED, AND YOUR HOUSE. WHEN PAUL, AND SILAS WERE IN PRISON IN MACEDONIA, THE PRISON GUARD ASKED THEM THIS QUESTION, "WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

Acts:16:31: And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

THERE WAS A KING IN THE DAYS OF ESTHER, WITH GREAT POWER, AND TREMENDOUS WEALTH. HE RULED OVER A HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN PROVINCES FROM INDIA, TO ETHIOPIA. AND HE MADE A FEAST TO THE PEOPLE IN HIS PALACE, SHUSAN. AND HE COMMANDED SEVEN OF HIS CHAMBERLAINS TO BRING VASHI, HIS WIFE, TO THE FEAST. BUT, SHE REFUSED TO COME AT THE KINGS COMMAND. THOUGH THE KING HAD THIS GREAT POWER, AND GREAT WEALTH; HIS WIFE WOULD NOT COME AT HIS COMMAND. BECAUSE OF HER DECISION NOT TO COME AT HIS COMMAND, SHE LOST HER ROYAL ESTATE. JESUS CHRIST IS KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORD'S. AND JESUS CHRIST HAS COMMANDED MEN WHEN THEY PRAY TO UNCOVER THEIR HEAD'S. YET, MILLIONS OF MEN DO NOT UNCOVER THEIR HEAD'S WHEN THEY PRAY. JESUS CHRIST, CREATOR OF ALL MANKIND, COMMANDS WOMEN TO COVER THEIR HEAD'S WHEN THEY PRAY, YET MILLIONS OF WOMEN WILL NOT COVER THEIR HEAD'S WHEN THEY PRAY. THESE PEOPLE REFUSE TO LET CHRIST RULE OVER THEIR LIVES.

1Cor:11:1: Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1Cor:11:2: Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

1Cor:11:3: But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1Cor:11:4: Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

1Cor:11:5: But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

1Cor:11:6: For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

1Cor:11:7: For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

1Cor:11:8: For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

1Cor:11:9: Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

1Cor:11:10: For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT MEN WILL HAVE A BETTER RESURRECTION IF THEY WILL UNCOVER THEIR HEAD'S WHEN THEY PRAY. AND THE WOMEN WILL HAVE A BETTER RESURRECTION IF THEY WILL COVER THEIR HEAD'S WHEN THEY PRAY. WHEN WE COME TOGETHER, AND ASSEMBLE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THERE IS A CERTAIN PROCEDURE, OR PROGRAM, THAT IS TO BE FOLLOWED. THE PROGRAM SHOULD INCLUDE A PSALM, THERE IS TO BE SINGING, THERE IS TO BE DOCTRINE. MEN PREACHING, OR TEACHING EXPOUNDING UPON THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT SUCH AS TONGUES, INTERPRETATION, AND REVELATION SHOULD BE PART OF THE SERVICE. AND, THE WOMEN IN THE SERVICE ARE COMMANDED TO BE IN SILENCE. WHAT I READ TO YOU NOW IS NOT A SUGGESTION BUT A COMMAND OF GOD.

1Cor:14:26: How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

1Cor:14:27: If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

1Cor:14:28: But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

1Cor:14:29: Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

1Cor:14:30: If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

1Cor:14:31: For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

1Cor:14:32: And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

1Cor:14:33: For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

1Cor:14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

1Cor:14:35: And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1Cor:14:36: What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

1Cor:14:37: If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

1Cor:14:38: But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

1Cor:14:39: Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

1Cor:14:40: Let all things be done decently and in order. (KJV)

THERE ARE PROBABLY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT ATTEND CHRISTIAN CHURCH SERVICES REGULARLY, THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD A MESSAGE IN TONGUES, OR INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES. FOR MANY MEN IN AUTHORITY IN THESE CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS HAVE FORBIDDEN THE SPEAKING IN TONGUES IN CHURCH SERVICE. WHEN A MAN GIVES A MESSAGE IN TONGUES, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL TALKS TO GOD. NO MAN UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE SOUL OF MAN HAS SAID TO THE LORD. FOR THIS REASON IT IS KNOWN AS THE UNKNOWN TONGUE. BUT GOD KNOWS, AND UNDERSTANDS THIS HEAVENLY LANGUAGE.

1Cor:14:2: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (KJV)

WHEN GOD ANSWERS THE INWARD MAN, THE SOUL. THEN THE MAN THAT HAS THE GIFT OF INTERPRETATION WILL INTERPRET WHAT THE LORD HAS SAID. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. IN THE DAYS OF DANIEL, KING BELSHAZZER GIVE A GREAT FEAST FOR THOUSANDS, AND HE COMMANDED THAT HIS SERVANTS BRING THE GOLDEN VESSELS THAT HIS FATHER NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD BROUGHT FROM THE TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM. THAT HIS PRINCES, HIS WIVES, AND HIS CONCUBINES, MIGHT DRINK FROM THEM. THEY DRINK WINE FROM THE VESSELS, AND IN THE SAME HOUR CAME A MAN'S HAND, AND WROTE THESE WORDS UPON THE WALL "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN", THE PROPHET DANIEL HAD THE GIFT OF INTERPRETATION. AND, HERE IS THE INTERPRETATION GIVEN BY DANIEL.

Dn:5:25: And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

Dn:5:26: This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

Dn:5:27: TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

Dn:5:28: PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Dn:5:29: Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Dn:5:30: In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

CHILDREN OF LIGHT FOR A CHURCH TO DO THE WILL OF GOD, FOR MEN, AND WOMEN TO OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. THEY MUST BE A SPIRIT FILLED. THE CHURCH MUST BE FILLED WITH MEN, AND WOMEN, THAT ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST. FOR THE CARNAL MIND, THE MIND OF SENSE, AND REASON WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. GOD BY THE MOUTH OF THE APOSTLE PETER, COMMANDS MEN TO REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND THEY SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.

Acts:2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (KJV)

BUT, MULTITUDES OF MEN REFUSE TO BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. BUT, SAINTS OF GOD, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A SPIRIT FILLED CONGREGATION, BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. FOR I BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE ELECT OF GOD ARE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THE ELECT OF GOD ARE TRANSLATED OUT OF THE WORLD AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST.

Gal:3:27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (KJV)

AND WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL COMES TO LIFE, THAT PART OF A MAN COMES TO LIFE THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY. FOR IT IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY FOR THE SOUL OF MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

AND WHEN THE ELECT OF GOD RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, THEY BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, WHICH IS THE TRUE ETERNAL CHURCH. WHEN SOMEONE TOUCHES THEM, THEY ARE TOUCHING THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND, WHEN THEY TOUCH SOMEONE THE BODY OF CHRIST IS TOUCHING THAT PERSON. FOR THIS CAUSE WE HAVE THE LAYING ON OF HANDS. WHERE IS ETERNAL LIFE? IT IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

1Jn:5:11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (KJV)

WHAT AM I TRYING TO TELL YOU SAINTS OF GOD? BASICALLY THIS, THAT I BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER RESURRECTION IF YOU ARE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AND IF YOU BAPTIZE OTHERS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. WHEN I BAPTIZE, I BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF THE GOD THE FATHER, AND GOD THE SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND IN THE NAME OF GOD THE HOLY GHOST. THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST TO OPEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND LET THE ELECT OF GOD IN. LET ME GIVE YOU AND EXAMPLE.

Acts:19:1: And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, (KJV)

Acts:19:2: He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. (KJV)

Acts:19:3: And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. (KJV)

Acts:19:4: Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. (KJV)

Acts:19:5: When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (KJV)

Acts:19:6: And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. (KJV)

Acts:19:7: And all the men were about twelve. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, THERE ARE MEN THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS THAT FORBID THEIR PRIEST, AND NUNS TO MARRY. THIS IS THE DOCTRINE OF THE DEVIL. I BELIEVE THAT THE MEN IN AUTHORITY IN THIS PHYSICAL CHURCH, WOULD HAVE A BETTER RESURRECTION IF THEY WOULD ABOLISH THIS DOCTRINE.

1Tm:4:1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (KJV)

1Tm:4:2: Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (KJV)

1Tm:4:3: Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (KJV)

1Tm:4:4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (KJV)

1Tm:4:5: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. (KJV)

1Tm:4:6: If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. (KJV)

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, NOT ONLY DO THEY FORBID THEM TO MARRY, BUT THEY REQUIRE THEM TO MAKE VOWS; VOWS OF CELIBACY AND POVERTY. WHEN A PERSON MAKES A VOW TO GOD, THE VOW BINDS THE SOUL. AND THEY CANNOT RETURN LATER, AND SAY THAT THEY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE.

Eccl:5:4: When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

Eccl:5:5: Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

Eccl:5:6: Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
