(Forging the Vessel of Recovery) 3- a New Beginning — B.H. Clendennen

The Vessel of Recovery and God’s Reaction to Spiritual Decline

Now We're dealing with the forging of the vessel of recovery In every situation when God's people with the Old Testament New Testament in New Testament times Whenever that church has moved away From the thought of God God has always reacted to bring it back into line.

God has never failed. To react when the church moves away or his people move away from that which represents his mind then God always reacts to recover those spiritual grounds and In every case it has been a vessel formed Through which God could react.

We must understand and understand well. That God's Spirit from heaven is poured out on the church. Never out on the world it flows through the church to the world from the throne to the church. From the church to the world there has to be a vehicle prepared for that outpouring.

In every Situation in all times there has to be a people formed a vessel raised up. That God can put into that vessel what is needed. That he may recover his testimony in the earth. Now as we've dealt with this we asked the question on a Monday.

Can we once more see? Repetition of the first century of the church. Can we Achieve the success spiritually that they achieved. And the answer is a resounding yes. Not only can we but somebody is going to because the Bible said what has been is going to be.

There is going to be a revival in the end of this age equivalent to what we read in the book of Acts as We brought it down then that for this to be that there had to be a vessel raised up. That vessel we demonstrated yesterday are in less than last as we dealt with the new crews.

In the property Elisha at Jericho. When problems have come with the water He said bring me a new cruise and put salt there in. Not just throw a handful of salt into the river. But a new cruise a vessel that could contain that now in the further consideration of the vessel I want to talk to you today about a new beginning it always Represents a new beginning.

God always brings about a crises where everything else seems to be as nothing that there has to be brought back to zero and the basics recovered in that vessel all the Hodgepodge the mixture and the confusion must be dealt with and that vessel brought back to zero.

Hannah, Samuel, and a New Beginning

So that God can once more move back to the fundamental basis of Christianity. I want to read to you in the first chapter of the book of 1st Samuel the first chapter of the first book of Samuel reading verses 15 Through 20 then we're going to turn to the third chapter of the same book verses 15 of the first chapter of 1st Samuel.

And Hannah answered and said No, my lord I'm a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have not drunk neither wine nor strong drink. But have poured out my soul before the Lord. Count not thy hat made for a daughter of Elial for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

Then Eli answered and said go in peace and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition That thou has asked of him and she said Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way and did eat and her countenance was no more sad and there rose up in the morning early worshiped before the Lord and returned and came to the house in Rama and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife and the Lord remembered her.

Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about After Hannah had conceived That she bear a son and called his name Samuel saying because I had asked him of the Lord. Now in the third chapter of 1st Samuel, I want to read verses 1 through 4 and the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli and The Word of the Lord was precious in those days.

There was no open vision. And it came to pass at that time when Eli was laid down in his place and his eyes began to wax dim that he could not see an ear. The lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord where the ark of the God was and Samuel was laid down to sleep that the Lord calls Samuel and he answered Here am I?

Now there are many features which makes Samuel's day very much like our time when you read back and see the spiritual conditions of Samuel's time and if you have any spiritual perception about you at all to be able to see The spiritual conditions of the 20th century you'll recognize that there's a lot of familiar features between the two of them.

Here's Samuels was a time when the people of God and the work of God was not upon God's essential basis. It wasn't moving According to the mind of God it was not upon that essential basis. There was a secondary line and basis, which was only Accepted by divine sovereignty it was being governed ruled and blessed as far as possible By God's divine sovereignty.

But it was not the thought of God. It was not the thought of God now I'm going to say to you without fear of apology our Contradiction that what we have today in religion in this 20th century Outpouring as we call it we have a secondary line.

We do not have the essential thought of God. God is doing the best he can with what he's got, but it does not Represent the mind of God. It calls for a prophet stand in the midst of the stream. Saying that it's moving in the wrong direction.

It does not represent the basic thought of God. You cannot read the book of Acts and Then look at what's happening today without Recognizing that this is not the mind of God. Some Constituent is missing.

Some things are added that need to be eliminated. Well, it was that way in Samuel's day taking Saul as an example. It is very obvious that Saul was not the thought of God. He was not the right King. He's in the wrong place.

In fact the King wasn't the thought of God. God eased the conscience of Samuel by saying they have not rejected you, but me. That wasn't God's thought it was God's thought that they live under a theocracy God to be the head the prophet to be the guide.

But they had chosen a king and God was blessed in that secondary deal as the best that he could. Now it does not take a lot of spiritual enlightenment to see that that's the picture of our time. You travel this country you see what's taking place.

All the mechanical Pretending that's going on today never haven't seen the goal. They shout over the brass and we're seeing today God having to do the best he can with a secondary situation. The church as a whole does not reprim Zip the mind of God and this in itself imposes a limit upon God.

God is limited. Because the church is not the vehicle that it should be now. We are the vehicle of expression and whether we like it or not that world perceives God to be what they see in us. They look at us.

We're the epistle. It's known and read with a vessel of the Lord and the only knowledge they have of God is what they see in the church and When you look at the church with all of its selfishness two thousand seven hundred million people live on this earth that never heard the name of Jesus and 90 of the church is not even interested in missions.

They perceive that this is what God is. This imposes a limitation upon God himself. Now God has his own thought but the church as a whole is not in the good of that thought. Now if we are at all you and I the church if we are at all Concerned about the situation that exists in the world today.

Spiritually that is about the effectiveness the fruitfulness the permanence the purity of the church then. Then the power of what's related to God on this earth if we're concerned about this. Then we should look into it from the standpoint that God is having to operate with a secondary situation.

That the church does not represent him in its totality. That's the reason for the loss. A river doesn't have any trouble flowing. All it has to do is be released. You see the church has come a dead end street.

It takes in doesn't put out. You have a little outpouring of the Holy Ghost in the church and it's drank up by the half-empty Vessels before it ever reaches out to the community. All we are doing is like an emergency room or intensive care.

Sustaining a little light life. We're pumping into saints that are about dead a little live sustaining life and not giving life. Because we do not represent that healthy body that the River of God can flow through.

Now the Bible said whatever that river touches it will heal. You don't have to beg the Holy Ghost to heal. It'll heal whatever it touches. Now we we act like we've got to persuade him to heal that in the trouble at all.

The problem is getting him to flow giving him something to flow through. Most of the time is a little trickle you take it's pretty dry around here. You get a half-inch of rain. It won't touch anything this earth will just drink it up and that right.

But you get a 16 18 inch rain and they'll have boats down there in Greensboro. It'll touch everything in the city while the church got a little trickle coming out. It touches one here and it's healed one there and it's saved.

But it touches very little because there's not much flowing out and the reason is the vessel Needs those spiritual arteries opened up from that spiritual cholesterol. So that it represents God and then we'll heal our communities and If we're concerned then we have to look at it on this line that God is having to work with a secondary Situation that it does not represent his mind now.

Samuel’s Stand Against Compromise

Look at this. Samuel came in at a time like that to stand in the midst of it on the one hand Samuel came in to stand against that which is secondary and to stand for that which is primary. Now that's not a very popular place to stand.

Everything's affluent. Everybody's happy. Israel gets all mixed up with Baal. So the Philistines will leave them alone and they're mad that they're mad at Samson because he won't cooperate with him. We have this we look it looks like everything is wonderful people are flocking into religion.

But when you look at them, they're still flocking to Las Vegas Hollywood and everywhere else. They're sipping science theater going all kinds of situation. They haven't changed nothing about their lives and then people get angry when you say that does not represent the mind of God.

Listen faith doesn't change you. It doesn't mean nothing to God either. It's always that way. They want to kill Samson because he won't join in with their compromise. I want to tell you some folks mixing Judaism with Baalism.

Destroyed both of them. It didn't lift Baalism up. It just destroyed Judaism and to mix the pure gospel of Christ. With a lot of the tripe and nonsense that we see today doesn't do anything to either one of them, but destroy them.

Destroy them when that church is that pure vessel of God? Representing God it'll be effective in this world. And once more the theologians who are the politicians rather will look over their shoulder won't know what that pulpit has to say.

Oh Lord I'll tell you what there ain't nobody on this earth wants a prayer in the school anymore and I want it in school. But I don't believe we'll ever get it back in the school till we get it back in the church.

We're trying to get unsaved people to do what we won't do. You call you call a prayer meeting in the church. You won't have 10 of your congregation there. I. You're gonna be the loneliest preacher in town brother Williams you mark that down.

We'll go to hear the Goodman sing and we'll go to dinner on the ground and we'll go if you've got a big enough name. That offers them a personal prophecy, but you just call a prayer meeting saying no God's body gonna be there.

But God and you'll be lonesome. Oh Listen folks. I'm telling you that there's got to be something sad in this hour. A lot of people get awfully upset with it, but get upset or whatever you want. That vessel must be brought back into line.

Samuel stood there in the midst of that fast rushing stream. Against that secondary situation and standing up for that which was primary. Samuel did not wholly accept Saul, you know, he didn't he didn't accept Saul.

He was inclined to regret the idea of a king. So God came to the man of God and said Samuel go ahead and sleep son because it isn't you they've rejected. It is me. It is me. This is what's rejected all along man has decided.

He knows more about it than God does. We've reduced salvation to a little set up bolt upright like a post. Repeat a little phrase after me put a little literature in their hand and send them home. Tell them they're saved.

You have no right on this earth. Tell anybody they're saved. That's a mark of a false prophet to give assurance to salvation to somebody hadn't been saved. This Bible says if you belong to God you have the witness within yourself.

And if you don't have the witness and get back in the altar and stay there till you do have the witness. Fellas said to me sir. Touch it said I'm taking it by faith. I said well, when you gonna get it.

Amen, I took it by faith, but I got it. I know I'm saved this morning. The Bible said hereby we know that he dwells in us by the spirit that he's given us. I'm a totally changed man in my attitudes after I've come to know God.

We've sold a secondary situation and God is not happy with it. Samuel wasn't wasn't going along with Saul. Samuel was there to hold things for God's Primary thought among his people. That's what Samuel represents.

He was God's vessel of recovery. It's always had to be that. Somebody a Jeremiah has to live. The most unpopular life. His own family kicked him out his mother and dad threw him out. Oh, he had no success at all.

If you wrote him up in the religious annals today I promise you he wouldn't be invited to any of the meetings to discover what's wrong. You know. We had had a meeting in Dallas and they invited only the preachers that had a thousand in Sunday school.

Amen just only the preachers that had a thousand in Sunday school. Jeremiah wouldn't got in on that folks. No, no, he wouldn't invite it, but I'm gonna tell you one thing. He is the only man living that knew what is wrong.

He may not have had a thousand people in Sunday school, but he knew what was wrong. He never had much success on this earth, but I can promise you he is successful this morning. He's having a lot of success this morning.

When neb when old nebs crew got to Jerusalem and Sacked it they put everybody else in jail kill slaughtered took him captive. But when old never charred and came around the sergeant of the guard to the man of God.

He said do if you want to go to Babylon, we'll treat you nice. Do you want to stay here. The devil knew better than the fool with him. Religion didn't but hell knew what to do with him. We've come to judge everything to the size of it.

I'll tell you one thing you can get caught in the call to bigness. Jesus wound up with a hundred and twenty out of all of the thousand and it is a known fact ladies and gentlemen. You can't read this Bible without recognizing one truth the closer you get to Calvary the less they are hanging around it.

Yes, sir. The closer you get to Calvary it becomes less and less popular. They followed him. They watched him break the bread feet the thousands. They watched him raise the dead open the eyes of the blind and stop the deaf ears cause the lame to walk shout and run.

But when it came the time and he said to him you'll either eat my flesh and drink my blood or have no part of it. They said we didn't come for that. We come for the show and they went over the hill. When it comes to deal with the heart of a man I said when it comes to deal with the heart of the human we don't want to be dealt with.

We don't want to be dealt with but Samuel was there for that. I want to break that up here this morning with you a little just what I've said when there's a lot of history and tradition in the background the people of God have become mixed and Confused if God is true to himself.

He must react against that. He must react against that if God is true to himself now. Listen, how will God react in such a day as ours? I'll tell you what he'll do. He'll do exactly what he did in Samuel's day he will raise up a Vessel a new cruise.

He will take something back to zero and let him see where they come from. Let him see that they're not saved because they're Baptists of Pentecostal. Amen, they're not saved because his baptized face down in the name of Jesus the Father Son and the Holy Ghost.

That there was a Calvary. There was a juncture in history. There's a watershed where everything moved in one direction bring them back to the bases wiping out. Their traditions of men and the creeds of men bringing them back to a new beginning where it's Christ and Christ alone.

And always he'll react listen with a new vessel now God must raise up a new cruise a vessel of recovery and Samuel was that I've used in him this morning to show you now the first thing we saw in Samuel is Samuel was a new beginning in himself.

His mama can't have no babies, that's the reason she's over that crime. She's not a part of the religious system of that day. No, no, and I had no part. In fact, she's in revolt against it. God took great care that Samuel wasn't a part of that mess.

Yes, sir. He is a new beginning and God took care of the very fact of the miracle of his birth. Amen brought him into being by a miracle. So Samuel was not a child of tradition. He didn't come from a long line of priests.

God pulled him up out of travail of a mother to be a vessel that could stand for something. That's God that doesn't have to look over his shoulders and to see what headquarters is saying about it. What's the Pope gonna think about what I'm saying?

He come in as a brand new beginning. Let me tell you something folks I sense in my spirit God is talking in this hour and there's some folks rising up that can say thus saith the Lord. Not an echo. They're a voice in this awful wilderness.

We live in and they're saying thus saith the Lord. There's a lot of people don't like it because it cuts across the grain of what we have today. The big problem is the church is no longer dedicated to Christ.

It's dedicated to success. Whatever whatever will it succeed we'll put in that pulpit if you've got a new idea if you dreamed up a new game. Amen, just bring her on in bring her on in if that'll do the job.

That'll raise the money our battle cause people to come in and so we've moved into the same thing. The world has image advertising, you know, you know the world learned how to sell things. They don't ever tell you the product.

You know would sell geritol. But just sit in a bottle of geritol up on the counter and say you women ought to take this. What do they do? They put a woman out there look like she could throw a bale of hay 20 feet.

I Mean you just never saw anything such a beautiful woman. I mean, she may be middle-aged, but everything about her is perfect and the implication is I got this way taking geritol. Oh. So they sell it by the barrels may not do you any good, but they buy it.

Well, the same thing is true. Amen, we don't we don't present Christ and Calvary. I want to tell you something what I believe you can believe it. What do you want? But the only attraction of that church is a cross of Calvary.

Amen. They should be no other. They shouldn't be induced in with some toe-tapping quartet. Whatever that singing is brothers and sisters ought to be there to worship God. Amen, we have no right to attract people like the world does to the church if they come on any other grounds.

But Calvary they'll destroy that church. Talk to me and with all of this all this stuff you see on the TV you see those young ladies in beautiful evening clothes and men and young men in Tuxedos and the orchestras are playing and they've been properly Choreographed.

Amen. They're jumping and dancing and I pan a smile. Everything is beautiful. They look rich and wealthy and the implication is if you want to sing like this Dance like this be on TV like this then get Jesus.

That's the attraction I'm telling you that in the attraction of that church. The attraction is Calvary. He said in the book of Deuteronomy. He said don't you plant no groves? You know what? He was saying.

Don't you perfume the path to Calvary mister? Don't you go planting any lilacs the heathen planted their groves to hide the severity of that altar. Amen that altar you could smell it. You could smell it old Jewish altar a long time before you saw it.

You know why it is a place of death. God is saying if you want in here you are gonna have to die if any man be in Christ. There is a new creation. There is no place in here for Adam. No place for Ishmael.

No place for human reason. This is God's house. It starts at zero. Oh. That's not a popular message. That's the reason it's always been a remnant. You know what the word remnant means? Survivors of a crisis.

When six hundred thousand men left Sukkot heading for the promised land when they got there only two of them made it the rest of them Of that generation died in that wilderness. The only ones survived were two to Joshua and Caleb.

They were survivors of a crisis. I'll tell you one thing. It's it's remarkable To see the survivors today that has survived the deluge of religion the terrible Dilute is a word. I want the deluding of the gospel just to make it successful and appealing.

But there's been those that have survived that said thank God. That's not the way it may look right. It may be attractive to the carnal you can make an instant appeal to the flesh. But that's not the way this is the way said the Prophet walk in it.

Oh. Listen listen the church the church of this hour Must be brought back like Samuel. He were not a child of tradition. A miracle from heaven had to be worked to bring him into the world. This is not then a succession not a succession.

You know today's ministers raise up the successor. God call one, but after that we just put them in place. That's what happens to organizations. I Know you have to have organization. But the organization must be kept in place if you're not careful the organization exists only for itself.

Whether it be a corporation or whatever religion and it's not interested in producing men and women of God. It's only interested in producing little cogs when some of them wear out to keep the machinery rolling.

That's all that's all. It isn't interesting. Let me tell you something ladies and gentlemen if God calls a man he can call another one. There's not a thing of succession. Samuel hadn't been handed this down by his daddy.

He didn't come from a long line of priests. It's not a thing of succession. This is God reaching down among the people and picking up the most unlikely one and Set them in a place to become one of the greatest prophets of history.

It's not a thing of tradition and it's not carrying on what has been. You know the most difficult thing for you. The most difficult thing for any human being me you all of us is to think. Outside of that bracket we've been raised in.

Hardest thing in the world for Catholic think anything but Catholicism. Terrible thing for a Baptist to be forced to think anything but Baptist doctrine. Horrible Pentecost. Try to think out of the vein that they've been set in.

Well. It's 29 or 30 different kinds of Pentecost. Is a man. Some of them will sanctify you instantly some of them will take a while. Some are baptized in Jesus name. Some of them are baptized you backwards some forward.

They've got all kinds of situations involved in it. And there's just about that many kind of Baptists. And if you've been raised in it the hardest thing on this earth is to break that bracketed thinking Amen, so that you just carry on with the form of things.

That's what I'm saying. A vessel has to be brought up brought back to zero behind all that tradition. Behind all that succession that sees the Lord Jesus for what he is and is not afraid to stand up and to break the mold.

Let the church out and let it be the church. Let it be the church. Samuel represents a brand new beginning. Whoever heard here this young lad being raised up is not a carrying on. This is a new beginning right from zero right from death.

He's a new beginning in himself. Now God takes great precaution against Samuel taking things up with a background of inheritance. The impossibility of Hannah having a child was God's sovereignty and all of this.

Now it's not going to be something influenced by past traditions of religion. There is no carryover from the past no link at all. It is a clean-cut new beginning. Holy to God clean cut. Right back down to the basics.

No bickering around and this is not what John said. This is what God said. And when he rose up and began to speak. Listen in this dispensation the vessel That is going to bring God's full thought into view and recover it must be taken back behind tradition.

Behind a lot of history behind much that has become common and acceptable in the church. It's it frightens people to death when you talk about Some of the things that they've made the golden calf. Happen to go.

But you know. When you realize how quickly the church can be turned aside. When the truth is not held before them when they're not held by strong Preaching of the gospel. Do you know it took Aaron less than 40 days to get God's people naked?

Dancing around a golden calf when Moses was out of sight. Less than 40 days. That is the terrible situation we face. Yes, sir. That is exactly and that vessel that will be the vessel recovery is going to have to be carried back.

Beyond a lot of tradition a lot of things that's become acceptable are not going to be acceptable. Lot of these things. Listen, I've watched the gimmick ring. Amen. I've watched I made mention I don't want to go through all that again.

But there's a lot of things that borders right on witchcraft coming into your home. Amen, you'll get pink prayer claws and you're ordered to get one these magic billfolds. Amen that you're never going to be poor again.

Got red strings to make you lose weight. Green ones to make you gain it. Amen to send you their hand imprinted on a piece of paper and you just lay this on you and something gonna happen to you. All ladies and gentlemen.

Christ, Calvary, and the True Way

The whole thing is that today's religion is no longer preaching Jesus Christ as the way. They're preaching a set of principles and belief. They've made him a Buddha. That's only telling them how to get there.

He didn't come and say I want to show you the way he came and said I am the way much of today's just ideas and principles and belief. That they say come from him. It's a tragedy. You know what? I used to think I'm born again at 27 years old heathen.

We didn't go to church good folks didn't know anything about God. Papa was a good man. I'd give a thousand dollars to talk with him this morning. Amen, he he as far as a man was concerned without God.

He raised us in this world and what he believed you have to do. He believed the survival of the fittest. He taught me nobody owed me anything. Do you make it you're gonna make it? His whole line was you know used to say to me don't start trouble, but don't let trouble run over you.

I was his whole line of thinking he didn't have no turn your other cheek theology because he didn't know God. But we were heathen. We didn't know anything about God nothing. Then I got saved at 27 years old didn't know John 3 16 and I used to think oh I I just used to think it had been wonderful.

Amen, if I had a long line of godly folk behind me birthwise. Let it be an asset, but you know, I've changed my mind. I'd like to been born again when I six or seven years old, but just have a long line religious folks behind me.

I've changed my mind on it. Listen, I I am finding a lot of folk with a second-hand religion. That's become a straitjacket to them. They're linked to the past and can't hook up with the future. How'd a woman get the baptism of Holy Ghost at home watching our program on television and she had got?

21 other women in that church filled with the Holy Ghost and now the priest clamped down on them said you're not going to talk About that no more here. We don't believe that she's in another church and they didn't believe that and you're not going to talk about it.

And she came to me and said what should I do? I said get out. That's what you should do. Oh. But she said I'm a charter member. Straightjacket all her folks all their life had been there. I mean bound up go to hell hanging on to that.

I preached a message on the television years ago when was on all over and I preached in spirit and in truth. Jesus said that in the in the Gospel of John the fourth chapter of Gospel of John. He said the time is coming now is when they that worship me will not worship me in Jerusalem in the temple on these mountains Of Gerasim, but they that worship me shall worship me in spirit and in truth.

I said he did away with all the molds of religion. Amen, he's saying you don't. He did away with the temple and all of its vestments and priests. He did away with all the Samaritan religion and said you can find me anywhere.

You want to get away with all of their traditions and he invoked the wrath of a nation upon him when he said that I preached that I said today we've moved back into the same rut. I said we've made a God that we dole out the priesthood the preacher and Religion has created a God that they can handle and you'll have to come through them to get saved.

I said the Protestant Church some of them have put him in the baptistry. Amen. You can't get saved unless you're baptized and you must be baptized by that organization. So that means it I control your salvation.

You're gonna get saved you come through me. That's more lucrative than Orwell. But I said the Roman Catholics have put him in the mass. You can't go to heaven unless you take the mass and the priest's got to feed you that and a woman wrote me and said How's the Roman Catholic 42 years before I got saved and said I want to tell you one thing I don't appreciate at all what you said about it.

I said my God held her in bondage send her to hell for 42 years then got mad at me because I said what it was. I'm telling you tradition and Background of religion has become a straitjacket to folks that they can't break out of Jesus can't even break them loose from the former past has got them locked in they can't go on with God.

Amen, because they don't believe in God in that degree and they can't get out because they're bound up with it. There has to get to be a has got to be rather a clean cut between what is merely Traditional and what is experience of God?

Has to be. I want you to notice the truth in the Apostle Paul. Look at the inheritance history tradition packed into that life. He said As touching the law, I'm blameless Pharisee of the Pharisee Circumcised on the eighth day Stock of Benjamin, he's a part of the Sanhedrin.

Religious wise nobody has a richer past than does the man of God, but look at the break I count it all done that I may gain the ecstasy of the knowledge of Christ. When God was going to pick up that vessel He knocked him down on the road to Damascus on his way to persecute those Emptied him turned him against everything that he was Spent all of his life getting to a place religiously and it all went down the drain right to zero.

Purging Falsehood and Returning to God’s Word

Always that way that vessel that he'll use today is going to have to do a lot of rethinking ladies and gentlemen. God will never let that revival come. Until that church purges herself of the false. Till he can find that vessel.

Not enough just to see it. I must reject it. No matter what the cost is. I must reject it when Elijah challenged Israel on the Mount of Carmel challenged Baal rather have Israel to come to witness they all gathered there and the and the Challenge was the God that answers by fire.

Let him be God now that won't allow any compromise. All he's saying is we're gonna quit marking time. You got a mixture of this mess and it's gonna clear it up. If Baal is God if he can answer by fire, we're all gonna walk away from this mountain with Baal.

But if God is God, we're gonna leave Baal here every bit of him. There's none of him going with us. Well, you know the story they went all day long cut themselves chant went through all their little deals.

Sprinkled holy water done everything else. They did no fire fell nothing happened. Finally the old the man of God said to him time for the evening sacrifice. You've had your do get out of the way for it's dark.
