This is “Noisy Exits”. To hear more inspiring messages from Jentezen Franklin

I want to go to part of the story in

Acts chapter 16 that maybe you’ve never

heard Acts chapter 16 is a very famous

chapter in the Bible it’s the the

original story that you probably if

you’ve been around church long heard

preachers preach it’s an exciting story

is kind of an up story asjuan that when

you hear you know you know it’s going to

be one of those kind of fiery kind of

upbeat messages because it’s about Paul

and Silas being in jail at midnight and

may know that story and they had been

beaten and they had been falsely accused

and imprisoned and at midnight they sang

praises unto God and this is where

everybody gets you know you know that’s

that’s going to be the good part and and

and when they begin to sing praises at

midnight

God sent an earthquake and shook the

jails that they were in and the chains

fell off the prison doors open and they

were set free and that a great story you

like that story

just checking but here’s a part of the

story that a lot of people may have

never noticed before several things I’m

going to sum it up but the jailer who

beat them the jailer was the one who

beat their backs with many stripes well

when they got when this earthquake

happens and all the prisoners are set

free

the jailer fears for his life because

he’s responsible for these prisoners and

they’re all just walking out and so Paul

turns to him and says don’t be afraid

believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you

shall be saved and your house and right

there that the man who just beat him

we’re not talking about just slapped him

or something we’re talking about his

back the Bible’s clear was was tore to

pieces both of them

and the man who be

now is on his knees receiving Jesus

Christ and then he says will you come

home with me and he takes those same men

that he beat to his house this Jail this

jail

jailer the man over the that we would

call him the the warden of the jail

takes them to this house and there’s

something that I was reading this again

today that verse 31 believe on the Lord

Jesus Christ you’ll be saved you and

your household they spoke the word of

the Lord to him and all that were in the

house verse 33 and he took them the same

hour of that night listen to this and he

washed their stripes that’s pretty

powerful I’ve never noticed that before

for summary he sometimes before God

would do his greatest miracles in your

life you have to wash the stripes of the

person you wounded and I don’t know how

I preached this so many times I have

kind of a little bit of a little famous

sermon out of this chapter on the spirit

of Python and somehow I’ve really

studied this chapter a lot preached out

of it a lot through the years I’ve never

seen that part that he washed the

stripes how would that feel because they

you know they were all infected or

potentially and and and and he’s washing

the stripes you know you’ve got real

salvation when instantly the people that

you’ve hurt you turn around and want to

wash their stripes

that’s not mouth service that’s not just

walking down and saying what the

preacher said saying going back but the

proof of this man’s salvation the

previous verse before said he received

Jesus the next verse he washes the

stripes all of the people that he had

heard it’s pretty powerful so this is

this is the part of the story you might

have missed so now so there’s family was

there and they were all baptized verse

33 says verse 34 and when he brought

them into the house he said food before

them now he’s feeding feeding them and

rejoicing having believed in God with

all

all his household everybody say all my

house shall be saved my house will

rejoice my house would be glad Jesus is

going to save me and my household give

God a praise right there if you believe

that it’s a beautiful family picture and

then verse 35 and when it was day the

magistrate sent officers say they heard

what happened let these men go

so the keeper of the prison reported the

words the Paul’s saying the magistrates

have sent to you to let you go now

therefore depart and go in peace now

this is a strangest part of the story

that I that you might read right over

and Paul said to them they have beat us

openly and we were innocent and thrown

us into prison and now they want us out

secretly the King James says quietly no

indeed let them come themselves and

escort us out of town like that and the

Bible said the only way they would leave

was with a noisy exit because if you

keep reading if you keep reading the

whole town is like a parade and and all

the magistrates are officials bigshots

leaders they had to call set there and

said I’m not going nowhere quietly and

secretly I am a Christian I am the head

and not the tail above only and not

beneath and when you humility

me you did it publicly and now you want

me to quietly be delivered and quietly

be a Christian and secretly tiptoe

around in this city as though God has

not miraculously set me free and caused

me to triumph and over everything the

enemy tried to do to me so so I want to

preach for a few minutes about we’re not

supposed to leave quietly a subtitle

would be noisy exits make noisy exits

we’re not supposed to leave quietly this

is an analogy I believe of the church

and how how we’re supposed to act right

before the rapture right before the end

of the world right before as we know it

the rapture is going to take place

instantly the world will go into seven

years of tribulation three years in the

first three years instantly the

Antichrist will come on the scene

circumstances will change dramatically

when the rapture takes place the

Antichrist will bring this new form of

government to the world because when the

rapture takes place economies will

collapse things will happen the world

will be in an uproar and only one man

will be able to bring peace and safety

and he will be the Antichrist but before

all of that happens in three and a half

years its peace and then the last three

and a half years all hell breaks loose

war breaks loose the nations gather to

attack the nation of Israel they go down

to the valley of Megiddo the valley of

Armageddon as Revelation calls it and it

looks like that finally the nation of

Israel who is so hated Isis and all of

their teams and all the spirit of

Antichrist that motivates such terrorist

organizations will have finally unified

and we’ll have Israel in the death grill

and just when it looks like that is over

now remember the rapture will have

already taken place and will be in

heaven and the Bible said the Lord will

come back with ten thousands of

thousands of thousands of saints with

him that’ll be you and I and he’ll be

riding on a white horse and we’ll be

with him and he will touch down through

the sky will come flying and he’ll come

you say I don’t believe this stuff this

is the Bible doesn’t matter if you

believe it’s happening and I’m not going

to keep going

because I’ll talk about that nothing

that is not my sermon my sermon is right

before the church is raptured I believe

there’s an enemy a spiritual force that

says the church ought to be quiet

that the church needs to shut up and get

in its place and stay in it’s four walls

and don’t share Jesus with anybody and

stay out of government while you’re at

it and stay out of everything else just

shut up and be quiet and be the church

but do it secretly do it quietly don’t

affect your cities don’t affect your

nation don’t affect the world

don’t-don’t-don’t b-b-b high maintenance

low impact Christians instead of high

impact low maintenance Christians just

be secret about it but when I read this

story felt like the Lord said to me this

is the kind of posture I want in my

church the worst things get I don’t want

my church quieter and quieter and

quieter see Paul could have Mis applied

the fruits of the spirit

he could have said well the Bible does

say that this that the fruits of the

spirit are peace kindness gentleness but

notice he knew when to roar like a lion

and he knew when to be calm like a lamb

there’s got to be a lamb in the lion in

the body of Christ and there’s a time to

be meek and mild and there’s a time when

we’re to say we’re not gonna leave

quietly you want us to shut up we’re

gonna preach louder you want us to get

out of government we’re gonna get in it

even more you want us to back up we’re

not backing up we’re here to proclaim

the answer and Jesus is still the answer

for America and we won’t leave quietly

we won’t leave the school system we

won’t leave the government we won’t

leave our cities we won’t leave our

nation we will not leave quietly we when

we leave the devil’s gonna be glad we’re

goin hallelujah and the world’s gonna

know we’re gone

alright sit down I want to link this now

to a verse in the Bible but remember the

devil says Shh I know you guys are gonna

get raptured so just be quiet about it

let the rest of the world go to hell

don’t you witness on your job don’t you

talk about Jesus don’t you be bold don’t

you be honest Ain don’t you get full of

the Holy Spirit be salt and light in a

lost dark world but you just be quiet

and I’m gonna let you exit but exit

silently

don’t you feel that on the church don’t

you see that happening in the pulpits

political correctness don’t preach don’t

don’t really preach anything that that’s

controversial you know don’t don’t

preach about abortion don’t preach about

these things don’t talk about that stuff

Shh we all know it’s true but I might

offend somebody we’re not suppose to

leave quietly we’re not and when I think

about how rowdy this church gets in

praise it made me want to rejoice

because I know there’s always in the

church – two – two things going on and

there are those who say just calm down

and then there’s those of us who

understand well this this is the truth –

where the word of a king is there’s

power and he’s preaching the truth so

why should I be quiet we’re not supposed

to leave some pitiful little weak church

with a spooky organ and a band and some

seeing some old song that you don’t even

know what language is in in a corner

we’re supposed to leave shouting we’re

supposed to leave healing the sick

casting out Devils

we’re supposed to leave with signs and

wonders and miracles Jesus Christ the

same yesterday today and forever and

we’re not going to leave quietly we’re

gonna leave speaking in tongues we’re

gonna leave prophesied we’re gonna leave

interceding we’re gonna leave shouting

we’re gonna leave rejoicing we’re not

gonna leave quietly come on take a

praise break

but listen to what Jesus said

but this gospel will be preached in all

the world for a witness and then the end

will come we can’t back up from

preaching that’s what the enemy wants is

calm down with that gospel stuff it’s

not that important anyhow hell’s not

real Heaven’s not real you poor ignorant

people clinging to your Bibles and your

guns you stupid people are you crazy

you actually believe a dead man got out

of the grave and rose again you poor

ignorant imbeciles believe in the virgin

birth really then be quiet about it

here’s here’s here’s three blessings

that need to come on the endtime Church

number one the endtime Church needs to

get this revelation the end times are

not happening to the people of God the

people of God are happening to the end

times we’re not supposed to leave

quietly we’re not supposed to lose our

freedom of speech our freedom of Liberty

of religion of free religious freedom we

cannot leave quietly

number two the endtime Church is not

supposed to leave weak we’re supposed to

leave strong the people that know their

God will be strong and do exploits the

devil is going to look forward to the

rapture as much

as we on because we are his purgatory

we are tormenting him too he goes to

hell he’s in torment every time the

church assembles and begins to glorify

and magnify the name of Jesus number

three I like it the ways you know we we

used to sing songs in the Church of you

know mild and meet Jesus now we sing

devil we’re going to rip your lips off

you feel that you feel the change how

many of you feel the change I like that

a man we’re not a bunch of victims I

don’t want to hear about the answer to a

bad past is a holy ghost future quit

whining about your past nobody cares

it’s over nothing you can do about it I

wish it didn’t happen but it is what it

is now get up and leave Jesus said the

old things have passed away you’re a new

creation receive a new anointing and

walk into a new destiny hallelujah

we’re not supposed thirdly we’re not

supposed to live in this time

overwhelmed by predictions I think about

this the other day there are some

Christians who are so into endtime

prophecy that they want the wrath of God

poured out

I want the vials give me the vials

where’s the curses how many of you met a

Christian like that you know if it’s

gloom and doom it’s pitiful that’s no

way to live

hey guys come judge that America’s curse

hands you ask them why some of the

preachers why and they say cause I just

wrote a book that’s about to come out on

how bad things are gonna get well I’m

out write one on how good things are

gonna get I read that book and I don’t

think God’s through I don’t think the

church is going to go out quietly with a

little whimper pitiful little poor

Church God’s last rescue effort before

there’s nothing left of the body of

Christ that’s not what I read she’s

gonna be a glorious bride fully decked

out full of glory full of God’s power

and when we leave we’re not gonna leave

cloud

so the question is this has the gospel

of Jesus Christ been insulted openly has

it been ridiculed openly has it been

kicked out of our schools prayer

reverence for God’s Word us think about

it Sunday when we did the Pledge of

Allegiance who would have ever dreamed

that the Pledge of Allegiance would

become a controversy in America but I

remember when I was a child they used to

do two things in public school bow your

heads we’re going to have a word of

silent prayer and we’d bow our little

heads and all that said to all those

little child children was there’s a God

in heaven I’m not a piece of cosmic

accident from the big boom and then they

said now let’s turn and put your hand on

your heart and salute the flags and we

would stand there and our and our little

cut off little little outfits my mommy

you send me school Lent and I pledge

allegiance to the flag of the United

States of America in that a great well

not a great world to grow up in then you

go home then you go to church on Sunday

people actually had families actually

had moms and dads raising families

staying together even if they didn’t

like each other they stayed together

till they raised the kids and we’d go to

Sunday school and they teach us Bible

verses we sing songs yes jesus loves me

yes jesus luck would pick her nose and

say yeah

the Bible tells me see the bibl II yes –

and then that my favorite part is when

they would hand out the the band

instruments y’all know I’m Tom how they

had huh Mizzou’s they had little

tambourine little bitty tambourines they

had assembles I loved assemble they know

what I’m talking about

no I’d like y’all don’t even know what

uh that but that was so much better than

kid PAC I’m sorry my god get some get

some get some huh Mizzou’s down there

but we haven’t went went went boom-boom

Shh if I know I’m talking about oh it

was wonderful and in it then we’d get

the glue out get popsicles and make

crosses put some blue in between turn –

popsicle you all know what I’m talking

about and then came the Bible lesson

when they took they hung up

bedsheet up and and it was a illustrated

sermon and and they would take I forget

what that stuff is called and they’d

stick it up there and it’d be the one

lost sheep it’s a little piece of cotton

and there was it and it was the one lot

lost sheep and all these cheaper over

here but the Shepherd here comes the

Shepherd in a bathrobe and he’s gonna

he’s gonna get the one lost sheep it was

wonderful what’s wrong with that

what’s wrong with that what’s wrong with

children growing up honor and honor yes

sir no sir yes ma’am no ma’am

yes yes I did do my homework ma’am yes

ma’am yes ma’am

and and the teacher would call and I

can’t imagine ever getting a call from a

teacher and my parents defending me

never

have miracles of God been put down

publicly Healing been put down publicly

ridiculed preacher’s faith religion

insulted with every movie every sitcom

every night show if it’s been done that

way publicly don’t tell me that God

wants us to leave silently before this

thing is over we’re going to see real

miracles before this thing is over we’re

going to see the gospel go in places we

never dreamed it would go and the Holy

Spirit feel people that we never even

dreamed it could feel we’re going to see

conversions in the highest places in the

world we’re gonna see we’re gonna see

Muslims by the billions born again and

feel with the Holy Spirit we’re gonna

see God put his big old arms around the

gay community and say come on home

there’s a better way there’s a way that

leads to life there’s that there’s a God

in heaven who says I don’t want my

church to lose their voice when things

get tough you’re not going to leave

silently I’ll have the last word not the

devil because I read somewhere where he

said he would prepare a table before us

in the presence of our enemies he told

the Israelites that I’ll make the Giants

that you’re facing bread for you and

they’ll make you strong they’re going to

become fuel your instead of you

stressing out over your problems it’s

actually going to get God is warning a

new animal in the body of Christ that

new a new creature that actually kind of

gets excited about problems and stress

and issues because it’s like fuel in

your tank you

take what is coming at you and you just

eat it up and you get stronger and you

get stronger and you get spread your

praise get stronger and your prayers get

stronger and your desire get stronger

and your passion get stronger it’s a

good sermon for Wednesday night

I usually just I usually just kind of

it’s a good sermon

instead of when problems come you having

a breakdown a meltdown God says I see a

church that when stuff comes out on they

cut it up they bake it so I’ll take it

eat it and come out stronger then what’s

the devil gonna do when he throws this

at you and that at you and you just eat

it up like fuel they’ll be bread for you

like fuel in your tank and I’m talking

to a lot of people right now your

marriage has broken up there’s women

that your husbands have abandoned you

there’s others who have problems at work

there’s others who have bills that are

overwhelming you and you’re scared to

death because you don’t know where

you’re going to get the money for the

rent this month

you got parents that are under the sound

of my voice that are going through hell

on earth trying to raise your children

you’re worried sick who they’re dating

and who they’re running with you’ve got

all kinds of issues and the message of

Christ to the body to the church is

never has it been harder to stay away

from loneliness to stay away from

depression to stay away from feeling

betrayed and hurt and broken by life

but the Lord sent me here tonight to

tell you that those things are not to

dictate your joy and your peace and your

position in who you are in Jesus Christ

Jesus gave a little endtime lesson the

Bible talks about noisy exits let me

give you a few and I’m close turn to

somebody say I’m not going leave quietly

the more the enemy attacks me

the more I’m gonna lift my voice to

heaven the more I’m gonna declare he’s

with me he’s with me God is with me God

is with me God is with me I will

overcome I will make it I will conquer I

will triumph I’m not going to leave

quietly now I got hit and then I got hit

again then I got hit again and all the

enemy wants to do is shut you up

so look in the Bible for noisy exits

Noah had a Noah had a big exit

everybody knew when Noah was leaving all

those heathens that laughed at him and

mocked him when the door closed and the

rain started falling and the boat

started floating off everybody turned to

one another and said he’s not leaving

quietly and the waters getting deep

Elijah or Elijah did not leave quietly

he had a big exit God’s into noisy exits

he’s standing at the Jordan River and a

chariot of fire comes down out of heaven

just bones on fire and sweeps down and

picks the Prophet up and horses a fire

go up and up and he takes his mantle and

throws it down to Elijah that’s not a

quiet exit Samson did not have a quiet

exit they took him in the temple of

Dagon and he told the little boy he’s

blind and he said put my hands on the

temple pillars that’s holding the whole

structure up and there were thousands of

of the worshippers of Dagon making sport

of him and his God him and his God

thousands of amok in his religion

faith in one God and he says well this

is I’m about to make my exit but I’m not

gonna leave quietly and when he when he

pushed the temple ceiling fell in and

the Bible said he slew more of the

Philistines in his death in his exit

than he did when he was alive Stephen

did not exit quietly there throwing

rocks and he looks up and sees the Son

of God standing at the right hand Jesus

in heaven looks down and you know every

time you read it Jesus he’s sitting but

when he sees Stephen he stands because

when you stand for God on earth Jesus

stands up for you in heaven and watch

this the Bible said and and while they

were stoning him there was one called

Saul of Tarsus who held their coats ever

in that he was he was part of the gang

that was falling rocks at Stephen but

he’s holding the coats and he’s watching

and the Bible said his face lit up like

an angel as the bricks were hitting him

and it said listen to these words they

could not resist the spirit by which he

spake so he’s lit up and he’s dying but

Paul is holding coats and the seed of

the gospel is is in his heart through

the first martyr of the New Testament

Stephen God is raising up through and

through a noisy exit pop-pop-pop God’s

raising up an apostle paul enoch did not

have a quiet exit he won’t with god and

was not for god took him just started

walking with god one day and everybody

looks and there he goes

Jesus had a big egg see he rose from the

dead went around for 40 days eaten fish

and bread all around the place was seen

by five hundred people plus hung around

for forty days after his death showing

up walking through walls

hello I’m Jesus read it read it and when

it was time to go to heaven the Bible

said that two angels came and stood

beside him and he went up on a cloud and

I like that he’s just like a cloudy

elevator he just hit he hits it and he’s

going up and while he’s going up the

Angels say why stand ye here gazing ye

men of Galilee and Judea this same Jesus

whom you see going up xiaolin like

manner return again and I got one more

point we’re not going to leave quietly

for the Lord himself shall descend from

heaven with a shout with the voice of an

archangel and the trumpet gods shall

sound the dead in Christ shall be raised

and we who are alive and remain watch

this shall be caught up together to meet

the lord in the clouds we’re not going

yeah it’s gonna be a noisy exit planes

are gonna crash we’re Christian pilots

and heathens drinking give me another

coke in Jack

and then then all of a sudden the pilots

got raptured and the preacher sitting

besides you trying to do his sermon I

was on the plane for I got here trying

to do his sermon he’s gone where did he

go they announced this anybody have any

pilot ability on the plane ladies and

gentleman y’all don’t believe this stuff

D it’s gonna be a noisy exit cars are

gonna crash took time tune stones are

gonna topple over graves are gonna

explode mausoleums are going to break

open resurrection power coffins are

going to break open Funeral Homes are

going to get Undertaker’s are going to

be put out of business by the upper

taker Jesus Christ stand up on your feet

if you believe in noisy exits how many

of you ready to come out of your

wilderness you won’t come out quietly
