  1. Grab your bibles.

  2. I want to give you the Word of God today.

  3. Let's wave our bibles around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad, or you can tell he's really mad, can't you?

  4. You listen to his crowd?

  5. They just, you know, they seem to have won.

  6. I say seem to, and, but they're not satisfied.

  7. I mean they want to deprogram us.

  8. Well, that's going to be pretty hard to do.

  9. I tell you, I've got, I've got his word down on the inside.

  10. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a trumpet, I'm not a Trump.

  11. I don't have a Trump called.

  12. I believe in Jesus.

  13. You know I love, I love Trump, but I mean I love Jesus more.

  14. So let's see this together.

  15. This is heavenly Father.

  16. I'm glad to be here today.

  17. It feels good to receive new members, new life, and, lord, you have new life for me, abundant life, super abundant in quantity, superior in quality, and I tap in to that life that gives me overcoming power.

  18. I'm overcoming those things that are set against me and I give you the glory for it in Jesus name, amen.

  19. Let's look at a second Timothy chapter three, please.

  20. And I started this message last week and I broke it off.

  21. I do that from time to time.

  22. It's okay.

  23. That's the wonder about being a pastor, I don't have to give you the whole load at one time.

  24. Second Timothy three and the second Timothy is an end time book because it refers, and really this chapter is all prophetic word, just equal to the book of Revelation, and it reiterates things that Jesus said when he warned the disciples about the signs of his return, but it added some things to it.

  25. I think it makes it more clear about the day that we're living in.

  26. Now helps us understand the day we live in.

  27. First one this also this know also that in the last days everybody shout that's now.

  28. In the last days, perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous boasters, proud blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good.

  29. Traitors, whoo traitors, heady, all about the head, all about the brain tissue, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.

  30. From such turn away For of this sort of a which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts, ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

  31. Now, as Janese and Jambres was stood Moses, so do these also resist the truth.

  32. Men of corrupt minds reprobate or of no judgment.

  33. My margin says, concerning the faith.

  34. Then verse 13,.

  35. But evil men and seducers will instantly disappear and they will vanish and we will have flowers of ease cherries dropping off the trees.

  36. No, they're gonna increase.

  37. More and more.

  38. Evil men and seducers shall wax or increase more and more, deceiving and being deceived.

  39. And so we talked about these verses last week.

  40. Dangerous when I like to amplify, but also when you look it up in other translations.

  41. You just do a word search and your concordance.

  42. The word dangerous there of course means what it means, but it also means hard to take, difficult to bear.

  43. I think that describes where we're at right now.

  44. It's difficult to see these people take over and start instantly undoing all the good things that have happened.

  45. And if you're not careful, you start looking at yourself on the losing time, a team.

  46. Well, we haven't lost anything because we're the church.

  47. Let's not get so identified with America that we forget that we have a higher purpose here.

  48. We're soldiers, sojourners and pilgrims in the earth that mean we don't love America.

  49. Of course we love America and we have a duty, we have a responsibility to watch over our citizenship here.

  50. But then we have another citizenship that's higher.

  51. We have another covenant that's higher and a better covenant with God than America has a covenant.

  52. America has a covenant with God and because of that covenant they have with God, america is under judgment and has been for quite some time.

  53. We're not in final judgment, but judgment is happening.

  54. One of the major keys of judgment is when you begin to fail at conflict, conflicts turn against you.

  55. I mean China has won something here.

  56. I mean they interfered in our election, got away with it.

  57. All these, you know they sent a virus and they got away with it.

  58. And so you know that's always a mark that, hey, judgment is God sent it.

  59. No, god didn't send it.

  60. But God cannot protect.

  61. We can't protect ourselves.

  62. We depend on God to protect us and he can't protect any nation when they drift away from him.

  63. And so America has been drifting away from God for a long time and we have.

  64. America has done things that displease God.

  65. Let me tell you, abortion displeases God.

  66. Mistreating Israel displeases God.

  67. I mean, did you know that Roosevelt turned Jews away 500 Jews in World War II and turned them away and most of them died in concentration camps.

  68. They were fleeing Nazi Germany and he wouldn't let them come into our country.

  69. And yet you take all these other people from everywhere else that don't worship the same gods we do.

  70. This country's got a lot to account for folks, and so I hear people that just kind of own one ditch and see there's two ditches, one on either side of the road.

  71. So if you go down the road for one mile, there's two miles of ditches.

  72. My job is to keep you out of the ditch.

  73. Let's stay in the middle of the road.

  74. That's what our brother Osteen taught me how to get in the middle of the road.

  75. Let's not get in the ditch and the ditch of the love.

  76. America, positive America, america, america, america.

  77. Well, we've got to recognize when America sins and we've got to repent on behalf of America.

  78. And so far, you know, the church hadn't done much of a job on that.

  79. I was around on 9-11, no churches were preaching repentance.

  80. Instead they were saying we're going to build greater and bigger without really going to and finding out.

  81. Why did those twin towers fall?

  82. How is it that God lifted his hand of protection and we had uneducated men flying 737s into a building, 737s into a building.

  83. I mean, you talk about supernatural.

  84. That was supernatural power working against us.

  85. Nobody said much.

  86. I you know one lone pastor over here talking about it Said it on TBN on that morning, channel 14.

  87. Gladys and I were scheduled to be on Channel 14, hosting the program, and I called in on the way in I said we're not having a regular program.

  88. Tell the guests there's no Praise the Lord program.

  89. Today we're having a prayer meeting.

  90. Oh, we were thinking about that.

  91. Well, I'm not thinking about that.

  92. I'm calling you to tell you what we're going to do.

  93. See, I was not in a mood to be told anything by them.

  94. I was always subject to them.

  95. I always did what they told me to do.

  96. I always, you know, tried to be.

  97. But that morning I took over and we knelt on our knees and we repented for the sins of anti-Semitism and abortion and all of these things, racial disharmony and all the things that this country's guilty of.

  98. And God holds us accountable.

  99. He holds every nation accountable, even if they're not Christian nation.

  100. We're supposed to be a Christian nation.

  101. You know, in the Middle East they call us, they call Israel the Saturday people, because they worship God on Saturday and they call us the Sunday people.

  102. In the Middle East we're the Sunday people.

  103. They call Israel Satan and they call us the Great Satan.

  104. They hate.

  105. They hate Jews.

  106. Everybody knows that they hate Jews, but they hate us.

  107. Because?

  108. Why?

  109. Because we're Christians.

  110. I wonder who?

  111. Why don't the Senate and the Congress know that we're a Christian nation?

  112. Why doesn't the Supreme Court know that we're a Christian nation?

  113. Why is it that none of our elected officials know that we are a Christian nation?

  114. Because the church quit telling them, church quit holding them accountable.

  115. Well, we hold them accountable.

  116. Around here.

  117. There's going to be some sad singing, slow digging here for long, because we're going to we're fixing to let some, some people that we voted for.

  118. We're going to let them know that we're ready to primary them in the very next election.

  119. The sad singing and slow digging is about to commence and we'll let you know when it starts.

  120. But we're going to hold them accountable.

  121. We don't have them come in this church and pray over them and and boost them and come out on on line and we add our and then they go up there and turn their back.

  122. They're going to be sorry, they turned their back.

  123. That's what's necessary.

  124. That's why the church has got to wake up.

  125. Amen, all right.

  126. So so the Bible gives us these, these, it's like the headlines.

  127. These are dangerous times and, yes, it's dangerous from the sense of physical safety, but it's dangerous from the sense of spiritual deception.

  128. People are being led astray left and right and people are turning from church and they're intimidated and they're not going to church and so forth and so on, and then the next thing you know they're, they're, they're agreeing with these government leaders that are Godless and they've got an agenda and the agenda is to get rid of Christians.

  129. They want to get rid of us.

  130. So so, charles Caps I mentioned this last week and I want to mention it again because I got a lot out of sitting under Charles Caps's ministry, listen to him on radio for years and read his books.

  131. He taught me so much about my mouth and word of faith.

  132. I mean, he just he's amazing If you can catch him on YouTube.

  133. He's still got stuff on the YouTube.

  134. You can listen to him England, arkansas.

  135. He's a country sounding guy, very to the point.

  136. He hardly ever smiles, he's serious about the Word of God and but anyway, he said we're living in the compression of the ages, and by that I mean we're time is accelerating, the pressure is accelerating, and he said this 15, 20 years ago boy, this got nothing but work.

  137. Nothing, nothing but more acceleration and more pressure.

  138. I mean, things are happening very quickly and Jesus has come in.

  139. I'm telling you he's coming soon, and so I told you last week about the tsunami dream.

  140. I'm not going to go all the way back through it, but if I were you, I'd make sure I got last week's message If you weren't here.

  141. It's still on Facebook, I think, or you can get it out at the media center CD if you want to, or you can.

  142. You know you can subscribe to podcasts.

  143. I have a lot of people.

  144. Just go, they have a, their podcasts and they just download all my messages and that way they can listen to it in their car.

  145. More and more cars don't have any CD players, so you can play your podcast from your iPhone right through your.

  146. If you've got a more, a newer car, you can't do that if you've got a 48 Chevrolet, but you can do that.

  147. Amen, all right.

  148. So, but I mentioned this last Sunday night in our in our meeting.

  149. That is not live streamed, but I'm going to talk about it this morning Because I kept thinking about this in the last, you know, since the inauguration, actually really it started.

  150. It started really with the Supreme Court failing to hear the Texas lawsuit and telling everybody I knew, I knew the country was slipping away and I'm sorry.

  151. I mean, there's other people prophesying all kinds of things and I, you know, I can't give you anything like that unless God gives it to me.

  152. I have to be guided by what the word says and the season that we're in, the season that we're in, is, is, is, is.

  153. It's not hopeless at all.

  154. The church is always we've got the hope of glory.

  155. I'm not, I'm not prophesying that that Trump is coming back.

  156. I'm not going to do that.

  157. I don't have that information.

  158. It's out there.

  159. People are believing that.

  160. People are saying that.

  161. People have got all kinds of wild scenarios.

  162. I'd be careful believing everything you read.

  163. Just stay in the middle of the road.

  164. It's what my advice is.

  165. Would I like to see him serve four more years?

  166. Well, yeah, but it I don't see a way forward now.

  167. I don't.

  168. I'd like to see it, but I don't say I see, I see some wild looking stuff out there and I'd like I on.

  169. One part of me would like to believe it, but I, I want to stay in the middle of the road.

  170. I still say that it's irrelevant.

  171. He's one man.

  172. He did a lot of good in four years, but in that four years what he did was drain the swamp for us to all see the swamp creatures, and there are a lot more of them than we ever knew, isn't that right?

  173. And there are a whole lot of them that we voted for just the other day.

  174. Huh, I mean, I never saw so many turn coats and and I call them traders, because they had a chance to preserve the union and preserve the, the republic, and they did nothing, they caved.

  175. Some people are saying that Trump caved.

  176. I don't go that far.

  177. I don't go that far.

  178. I know he had some decisions, hard decisions, to make after January the sixth, with that complete lie that happened about.

  179. You know, an insurrection, for God's sake.

  180. They take words and they, they, they gin them up to the over the moon and they use them against us.

  181. And if we just use regular words against them, well then they go crazy.

  182. So, anyway, I'm being as gentle as I can, but I, I, this, this, this testimony came into my spirit and then I started looking for it in my books.

  183. I couldn't find it, but then I find after the.

  184. I did rehearse it pretty right down the line Sunday night.

  185. I didn't miss it so but I reread it.

  186. And I'm talking about I believe in visions Kenneth E Hagan, and he tells the stories.

  187. He was a young preacher and he'd been in the ministry I think 15 years, 12 years as a pastor, three years on the on the field, and he was doing a meeting in Farmersville, texas, north Central Texas, blacklands, and he had a tent and it had been raining all day, september, the end of August and early September of 1950.

  188. So that's 70 plus years ago.

  189. And he said it was raining all day.

  190. And he said you know, they have a saying up there If you'll stick with a black land when it's dry, it'll stick to you when it's wet.

  191. And so a lot of people couldn't come to the meeting because of the rain and the mud and they couldn't get there.

  192. It's out in the middle of a cornfield or something, and so he had about 40 people there.

  193. So he brought a little Bible lesson and then had them come up to the front and kneeled down and had a little prayer meeting.

  194. So he knelt by his folding metal chair up on the platform, you know behind the pulpit, and he knelt down.

  195. And he said as soon as I knelt down, started to pray, I heard this voice come up hither and he thought everybody heard it and he didn't know what was talking to him.

  196. He heard it again come up hither and he looked up and there's Jesus standing at the top of the tent and he said the tent disappeared, the tent poles disappeared, everything disappeared, just Jesus.

  197. And he went up to see him and Jesus was holding this beautiful crown.

  198. He said it was indescribably beautiful.

  199. He couldn't English words.

  200. You couldn't describe the beauty of this crown that Jesus was holding in his hand.

  201. And he said this is a soul winners crown.

  202. But my people he started talking about us.

  203. My people, that's the church, my people are soul winners.

  204. And I forgot the two words he used distracted, disobedient.

  205. I don't think those were the exact words, but something like that.

  206. He said this is available to every believer, not just to preachers.

  207. This is available to every believer, but my people are just so busy that when I talk to them to go talk to someone about me, or when I ask them to go and pray for someone.

  208. They just are too busy and they don't do it.

  209. And of course Brother Hagin knelt down and he wept and asked and repented and all that.

  210. So it was a big long visitation.

  211. Then he took him and showed him heaven and he said invite people to come to heaven, invite people to come where you are.

  212. You're talking to a preacher that's been in the ministry now for 15 years, but he's talking to us 1950.

  213. Do you know what America?

  214. I know what America was like at 1950, I was three years old, but different than it is now.

  215. Different.

  216. And yet it wasn't very good, according to Jesus.

  217. He said invite people to come to heaven.

  218. Then he took him to hell.

  219. He said oh, I know what this looks like, I've been to hell.

  220. He starts talking to Jesus like Jesus didn't know.

  221. But he died when he was on the bed of sickness and he went to hell because he wasn't saved and he cried out to Jesus in hell and Jesus saved him, brought him out of hell.

  222. So if you ever see that little mini book you know I went to hell you ought to read it.

  223. He said tell people, warn people.

  224. Does anybody ever warn anybody anymore about hell?

  225. We don't even talk about hell.

  226. It's not fashionable, it makes people uncomfortable.

  227. I tell you, we're in the place right now where we have to reap a harvest.

  228. Time is running out.

  229. Compression of the ages the hourglass is just about empty folks, and this vision speaks of that.

  230. I wanna kinda get us where we're not all grieving over our government, as bad as we are.

  231. Let's make sure we're doing our job and being faithful to that right now.

  232. They're not mutually exclusive.

  233. Regardless if Joe Bozo is in the White House or not, the church can still be the church and get a.

  234. You know you're not gonna like it, neither am I, but we don't have to like it.

  235. We can do our job.

  236. But what about?

  237. Well, you know we're still gonna pray for our nation.

  238. We're still gonna pray, and part of judgment is God unveiling evil.

  239. And has he done that?

  240. So that's judgment.

  241. Judgment has begun, not final judgment, but the initial birth pangs that Jesus talked about are started.

  242. We need to know that and we need to start warning people that there's a hell to shun and inviting them to come to the heaven to gain Simple.

  243. So then he comes back and he didn't talk about his ministry a little bit.

  244. He came back and his down on the platform became aware that he was in that meeting then and he, you know, he didn't know how much of everything that everybody else heard.

  245. But before he could even do anything he fell flat on his face up on the platform and he said I was taken to a far place like a high plane, and it wasn't a green thing anywhere, there wasn't anything around, no trees, no people, no cities, no buildings.

  246. And then way off in the distance, a speck and he could identify that it was getting closer.

  247. And then finally he could identify there was a horse.

  248. And then finally he could identify there was a rider.

  249. And then, when it got closer, the rider had the bridle of the horse in his right hand and he had this scroll in his left hand scroll and he pulled up the reins, came up beside Brother Hagin and changed and put the scroll in Brother Hagin's hand and says read.

  250. And he unrolled it, scrolled about 14 inches long, 12 by 14.

  251. And at the top of it it said war and destruction.

  252. So he said that out loud war and destruction.

  253. Then when he said those words, he was taken to a city where it was all burning and then he noticed the buildings were all empty.

  254. They had been burned out hooks.

  255. He saw women of every age, old ladies, middle-aged ladies, young girls with babies in arms, and they were all bowed over at the waist, holding their waist, weeping so hard that tears were running like a river.

  256. And he saw soldiers marching off to war.

  257. You know just bunches and bunches going off to war and war and destruction and all that and the angel, or the man.

  258. He figured it's an angel later.

  259. But the man said America is receiving her last call.

  260. Well, jesus said it to him America is receiving her last call.

  261. Some nations have already received their last call and will never receive another 1950.

  262. Well, pastor, this isn't the word I know it's not the word, but it's a word that God gave the church through one of the greatest prophets we've ever had, and he fulfilled his ministry without going off base.

  263. There was lots of prophets that were good for a season and a lot of them wound up on the scrap heap.

  264. One guy thought he was Elijah.

  265. In fact, two of them thought they were.

  266. I won't mention their names because they did a lot of good, but they wound up on the scrap heap at the end of their ministries because they got so lifted up in pride over the power that they had, that they thought they were Elijah.

  267. Hello, you're not Elijah.

  268. I guess their mama was already in heaven.

  269. Mama could have probably straightened that out.

  270. But anyway, son, I'm here to tell you you're not Elijah, anyway, but he lived straight, he lived honest, he did, he had grazed.

  271. His fruit is still remained and I'm grateful for Brother Hagin and what his impact has been on my ministry.

  272. So you know, we've got to obey not only the Bible and the letter of the Bible, we've got to obey the men and women that God has planted in our midst, that we know of that are right and when they bring a word like this and he brought that word when he was in his 30s, I'm sure if it wasn't God he would have killed over dead at some point.

  273. He died when he was 83.

  274. He lived a full life.

  275. His last 10 years of ministry was spent in Ramah churches, making sure that they were not only word churches but spirit churches.

  276. He brought a demonstration.

  277. A lot of them had just gotten over it, what I call word of faith Baptist.

  278. You know, they preached the word, but there's no demonstration, there's no spirit, there's no Holy Ghost.

  279. The Holy Ghost can't even get a word in edgewise.

  280. They've got this program and that program, they've got this thing to do and that thing to do.

  281. And the Holy see, I'm just interrupting the service this morning.

  282. I'm not even got notes.

  283. Why?

  284. Because God brought this in my spirit now and I need to share it with you.

  285. I don't care if I get all my notes done or not.

  286. This is the Holy Ghost doing.

  287. And what we did earlier here, that was the Holy Ghost.

  288. I didn't plan on doing that, see, we let the Holy Ghost do what he wants to do.

  289. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  290. America's receiving her last call.

  291. Many nations have received their call and they won't receive another.

  292. Tell them to repent.

  293. Many of my people.

  294. And it was a long.

  295. I won't go through the whole visitation, but it was very detailed, it was hours long.

  296. He read from that scroll, for I don't know how long people heard him read, but they didn't see what he saw.

  297. He would read and then he would see.

  298. He would read and he would see.

  299. Later on in the 60s, when they had the race riots and the hippie dope fiends protesting, the.

  300. I call them that.

  301. I'm sorry, it's just an old habit I have.

  302. Maybe one of you were, maybe some of you were hippie dope fiends.

  303. I went to A&M, and A&M that's what we called the war protesters.

  304. We had no war protesters at A&M.

  305. They threw rocks at them and they left.

  306. They went back to Austin, they went back to Texas I'm joking y'all don't kinda kinda joking, all right.

  307. So and so he saw, you know those war protesters, you know, and he felt, and they do what they did then, what they're doing now.

  308. They burn, they loot.

  309. You know what does that mean?

  310. And so, and now those people are in charge of the government, people that did all that stuff in the 60s are nuts.

  311. They're still nuts, hillary Clinton, all the rest of them.

  312. So so they.

  313. He thought that that was a partial fulfillment.

  314. But see, I believe what we saw last summer and what we've been seeing for the last number of years, I mean cities burning for no good reason and governors and mayors and all of that doing nothing and letting peoples and many of them are black owned businesses burned out.

  315. And you think black lives matter and you burn somebody's business out.

  316. I mean, it's so logical, so easy to understand who the enemy is, and yet people are walking around like they're, you know, completely taken.

  317. They've been brainwashed.

  318. This is a psych ops, a psychological operation, which is what communism does, and that's what we're in right now.

  319. That's what we're seeing A bunch of troops in Washington protecting what, making sure we don't come again.

  320. Oh, they're coming again.

  321. Oh, my God, gotta protect us.

  322. It's all a sham.

  323. We're not the ones that do that, they're the ones that do that.

  324. Are you with me now?

  325. So he saw all these things and he warned Brother Hagin and warned the church.

  326. He said in the last days there'll be a great revival.

  327. All the gifts of the spirit will be in manifestation.

  328. There will be greater miracles than there were in the book of Acts.

  329. And then in the book, which is written a long time ago, it's probably 15, 20 years old, he talked about some of these big, huge crusades that have been held.

  330. Brian Hart-Monkey had a million Africans and then somebody else preached like five million.

  331. I don't even know how you preached to five million people, but there have been such massive campaigns for people to get saved that I, you know, I believe there's one more left in America.

  332. I'm sorry, I'm just believing that.

  333. Am I prophesying it?

  334. Well, others have prophesied it, but I believe it.

  335. Well, it doesn't look like well, no revival ever looked like there's going to be one before.

  336. That's why it has to come.

  337. And I believe, when there's pressure, like there's been, and lack of justice just think of all the shenanigans that people have seemingly gotten away with, and there's been really no.

  338. You know, look at what Comey did.

  339. Look at, look at what Obama did.

  340. Look, they had an attempted coup.

  341. Nobody has nobody has been held accountable for that.

  342. Fbi struck the Department of Justice.

  343. All these people that have violated.

  344. We have proof.

  345. We're not talking about over in the air, we have proof.

  346. Some are saying that in the fake impeachment, see, we had another impeachment.

  347. The first one didn't work, so now they've done another one.

  348. There's no way that that's legal.

  349. There's no way that that's constitutional.

  350. There's no way that they have the authority to not let him run again.

  351. There's nothing to do with whether anybody runs or doesn't run.

  352. They don't have that kind of power, but that doesn't bother them.

  353. They always take power where none exists and they double dog.

  354. Dare anybody to stop them?

  355. I don't know if we can stop them, but I know one day they will be stopped.

  356. Let's keep our eyes on that part.

  357. Let's not identify with losers.

  358. Let's not identify with losing, because we're not losing as long as our eyes are on the one who created everything.

  359. We're not losing, we're overcoming.

  360. Are y'all with me now?

  361. It's a lot of questions.

  362. I don't know whether I should take the vaccination.

  363. Well, let me just say I ain't taking it, okay, but I'm not telling you what to do.

  364. You follow peace in your heart.

  365. If you take it, then believe God.

  366. Believe God that you're not hooked up to the internet.

  367. Believe God that you're not hooked up to the cloud.

  368. Because that's what I've read.

  369. I've read that they're gonna have this thing.

  370. They're implanting inside of you an operating system just like your computer on the inside of your body.

  371. I don't know if it's true, but there's enough smoke in that.

  372. And I mean the person I listen to.

  373. They're not one of these internet wackos.

  374. I mean this person had all of their degrees, everything where they've served, what their status was and, very matter of fact, in fact, her expertise is money, and that's the other thing is it hooks you up to the money system so that they can control.

  375. It's a prelude to the.

  376. It's a prelude to the one world government, a prelude to the anti-Christ system, and so, for that reason.

  377. I'm just gonna trust God.

  378. I've been vaccinated by the word of God.

  379. Now, if you're not there and maybe you work for a place that you've got to quit and you don't have another place to work and you've got to be vaccinated, well, I'm not trying to snare you, I'm not trying to tell you not to do it.

  380. You asked me.

  381. I'm gonna tell all of you at one time.

  382. I'm not taking it, I'm not gonna be vaccinated.

  383. That's my choice, but it doesn't have to be your choice.

  384. And you're still here and we will believe with you, no matter what decision you make.

  385. We're not telling you what to do in any way, shape or form.

  386. I'm not prophesying it or nothing.

  387. Are you with me now?

  388. Treat you like you're an adult.

  389. I figure you can make your own decisions of where your healthcare is concerned and you don't need me to tell you what to do.

  390. Not one bit.

  391. I'll tell you what the word says, and so if you take it, take it with the word Amen.

  392. Just say God.

  393. I just believe this is my way out, this is my.

  394. I'm acting on my faith and God will take you at your word, amen.

  395. So getting back to this, what I call distractions, this was dealt with in 1950.

  396. So how long have we been going here?

  397. See, 70 years.

  398. And so the Lord mentioned, at the last of this visitation with Brother Hagin, september, the 2nd 1950,.

  399. He said it'll be.

  400. The time is short.

  401. It's similar to the seven days that I mentioned to Noah.

  402. And so let's turn back to Genesis, chapter seven.

  403. You remember, god found out that there was violence and he went down to see if it was as bad as he had heard.

  404. And it was.

  405. And he determined to destroy the creation, and he found righteous Noah.

  406. Here's what God tells Noah for, verse four for yet seven days and I will cause it to rain upon the earth, 40 days and 40 nights, and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

  407. And so he had already been working on the ark for a hundred and some odd years.

  408. I mean, he'd been working on the ark, everybody asking him what are you doing?

  409. You're fool, what?

  410. There's no such thing as water.

  411. There's no such thing as rain.

  412. Rain, what's rain?

  413. The earth had been watered by vapor.

  414. There was no flood, and he was doing something out of whack.

  415. People thought he was crazy, and the Bible says that that was a witness to them.

  416. And they didn't turn, they didn't ask, they didn't say what's gonna?

  417. You know, they didn't fear God.

  418. And so, yet seven days.

  419. So in this visitation, jesus told Brother Hagin in 1950, you've got about that much time, yet seven days, it's about like that amount of time that you have left.

  420. Well, it's been 70 years.

  421. Seven days, 70 years.

  422. Was that a prophecy?

  423. No, it's not a prophecy, but it's just a marking of time, mark the time.

  424. And oh, my goodness, we're close to the coming of the Lord.

  425. We're coming close to that day when final judgment comes and I believe the church will be taken and received up into heaven before the worst comes.

  426. That's what he told Brother Hagin.

  427. He said before the worst comes, I will bring my church, I'll receive my church.

  428. But he didn't say all of it.

  429. We're gonna see some things, but in the midst of what we're seeing, we're gonna see what Great harvest.

  430. This message kind of turned a little bit on me, but it's all right.

  431. The other night Claire helped me.

  432. She was talking I think she was receiving the offering, and she was talking about the tares and the wheat and she said Jesus said let them grow until the end you don't wanna get rid of the tares, because you'll uproot the wheat.

  433. You're gonna have to live with the tares until the end.

  434. And the tares look like the wheat.

  435. They have roots that intertwine the wheat's roots.

  436. They have.

  437. They're right next to the wheat.

  438. They had the same water.

  439. They drink the same water as the wheat.

  440. They had the same nutrients.

  441. As she didn't say all that, but I'm saying it.

  442. In other words, they feed and drink of the same sustenance as the wheat.

  443. So we can't uproot the tares because we will uproot the wheat.

  444. When do we get rid of the tares?

  445. After the harvest, after we cut all of that.

  446. And when we cut that wheat, we gather it into the barn.

  447. Before we gather it in the barn, what happens?

  448. We gotta separate the chaff.

  449. Chaff is one thing, tares are another.

  450. Chaff is actually part and parcel of the wheat.

  451. So in a church that's why we're warned on a constant basis, because not everybody that goes to church is ever gonna make heaven oh, pastor, I'm getting nervous.

  452. Well, I'm not telling you to be nervous, I'm telling you we need to make sure that we're born again.

  453. Can't quit preaching that we're not saved by works, we're not saved by our good conduct.

  454. We ought to have it, but we ought to trust Jesus, and we ought to trust Him to the very end.

  455. And coming a day when we're gonna have to pay a price to say the name of Jesus, just like what we saw a few weeks ago, people decided to jump ship off of Trump.

  456. They were glad to go to his rallies, glad to have him come up, come on up and say a word, glad to have all the crowd cheering for him, chanting for them.

  457. But as soon as he needed somebody to stand with him, they hit the exit and they started saying well, he said some things he shouldn't have said.

  458. Really, you didn't even listen to what he said, goofball.

  459. There was nothing wrong with what he said, not one thing.

  460. That's what's gonna happen in the end.

  461. The tears are gonna be gathered and burned and the wheat is gonna go into the garner.

  462. But the wheat has gotta be what threshed to get rid of the chaff.

  463. I wanna be the wheat and we've gotta be strong enough and bold enough to stand our ground right now.

  464. This is not the time to be weak-need.

  465. This is not the time to be afraid and fearful.

  466. Some of you are working for major corporations that are gonna issue edicts.

  467. I mean, they're on purpose.

  468. They're gonna issue unless something changes in the next, and we've got guys that I respect and they're prophesying all kinds of things.

  469. I can't prophesy what God doesn't give me.

  470. I don't know.

  471. I think we're just gonna have to have faith and patience to watch how it all plays out.

  472. I'm not all sticking with one.

  473. As far as America is concerned, I'm not looking at one outcome.

  474. I'd be glad if something happens and Trump gets back in charge and we're able to hold all these people accountable and all of that.

  475. But when I read my word and I listen to what Brother Hagin said in 1950, I just wonder if that's gonna happen or whether we're gonna just have to endure some persecution and reap a tremendous harvest and then get out of here.

  476. And if that's what it is, I'm willing, are you?

  477. I'm not tying myself to political outcome Now.

  478. Should we do everything we can?

  479. Well, yeah, we've gotta be faithful.

  480. You know, james, he's got a platform.

  481. He's gotta be faithful to use the platform God gave him in a positive direction.

  482. We're not gonna withdraw.

  483. We're not gonna quit speaking against things that are going on that we see are not right.

  484. But whether we're listened to, whether anything turns.

  485. We're here.

  486. We're here to speak the truth in love.

  487. Are you all getting this this morning?

  488. Come on, lift your hands right.

  489. I feel a Holy Ghost on me right now.

  490. I had to get off my message and get onto something else, because the need you have, such need, and many are tuned in, they're wondering I mean, we had hundreds of people watching last week.

  491. They're hungry for truth.

  492. They're hungry, and I'm trying to keep you in my heart is to keep you in the middle of the road.

  493. Not one ditch over here, not one ditch over there.

  494. It's the tendency of the church to get in ditches.

  495. We can't afford to get in the ditch.

  496. Let's get in the middle of the road.

  497. Everybody say I'm in the middle of the road.

  498. Now that sounds like a moderate, but it's not a moderate.

  499. It's not a moderate.

  500. It's a person that's committed on being on God's side, whatever God's side is, and you can't have faith for an outcome.

  501. Let's just say you're believing for Trump to get back in office, and I heard one preacher the other night say let's it's time to quit saying how, how is it gonna happen?

  502. We gotta get rid of the how Well, I can understand that in a way, but we do have a constitution.

  503. What are we proposing?

  504. And is that God's will Because I don't know what God's will is for us to depart from the constitution and have some kind of uprising and some kind of opposite coup?

  505. There was a coup attempt.

  506. Are we gonna have one now?

  507. Are we gonna do another coup?

  508. I don't know what God's will is in that matter and until I, unless I know, until I know, I'm not gonna advocate for it because I'd be foolish, I might be fighting against what God's plan is.

  509. You don't come.

  510. Am I coming through cloud and clear?

  511. I mean, you read everything in the world on the internet and I get stuff and people send me stuff and I some of it I just can't read because I never heard of the person and I'm not gonna read something for somebody I never heard of.

  512. It has no standing with me.

  513. I am gonna read things that people say.

  514. Like you know, I won't mention the names right now, but there are people that I've read that and they're disappointed that things went as far as they did.

  515. They had a plan of action they recommended to the president and he didn't take it.

  516. He didn't take it, he went home.

  517. And they're disappointed and they're saying so.

  518. But listen, my eyes are on Jesus, my eyes are not on Donald Trump.

  519. I voted for him, sure did.

  520. I advocated for, prayed for him, and I still pray for him.

  521. But he's out of office, far as I know.

  522. He's out of office.

  523. He's not.

  524. He's not in office.

  525. So what do we do now?

  526. Well, we have to cry against the actions of these people, because they stand for everything.

  527. We're diametrically.

  528. I can't think of one thing they're doing that I'm far.

  529. So what do we do?

  530. We cry.

  531. We know how to do it.

  532. We did it for eight years under Obama.

  533. Remember when Rush Limbaugh said I hope he fails?

  534. Everybody was all.

  535. The Republicans were saying oh, what a wonderful.

  536. We think we can work for this president.

  537. We think he's gonna be just fine.

  538. Yes, we wish him all the success.

  539. And Rush Limbaugh got on his program the very first week and he said well, I just tell everybody, I hope he fails because his agenda is gonna ruin our nation and I hope his agenda fails because his agenda is horrible.

  540. And oh, he got criticized.

  541. He didn't take it back, he stuck with it.

  542. Well, that's kind of the way I am about Biden, and I'm not just hoping, I'm praying.

  543. I'm praying against everything he does.

  544. I mean because I know God's not on his side.

  545. He's not on God's side.

  546. So at least we're way ahead in that way.

  547. At least we know how to pray and you know what.

  548. God hears our prayers and when people in the world resist our prayers, when we're praying according to the spirit, it becomes their judgment.

  549. So no prayer is ever wasted.

  550. Some of you have been tempted.

  551. Well, I guess we prayed for nothing.

  552. I know you did not pray for nothing, but every prayer we've prayed all these years in this church, every prayer we have prayed, has been answered and released.

  553. And when these men?

  554. God's not a puppet master, he's not up there pulling the strings.

  555. We have free will and he lets people disobey him.

  556. Read the Bible.

  557. All those wicked kings of Israel.

  558. And that's why God never wanted them to have a king in the first place.

  559. That was when the wheel started coming off of Israel's wagon and they demanded to have a king like everybody else, and that was the beginning of the end of Israel.

  560. If you read your Bible, I mean it didn't take long for their kings to be a mess.

  561. I mean the very first one was a mess Saul, mess David.

  562. We won't go into all the detail, but you know what?

  563. There was a lot of mess with the kings and it wasn't God's plan.

  564. So it's our listen we gotta have.

  565. How many of you want God's plan, no matter what.

  566. See, we want God's plan, no matter who it identifies us with or separates us from.

  567. Amen.

  568. That's the bottom line, bottom line.

  569. And so the danger that we have in the last days I didn't get my few points, but the danger is being deceived.

  570. That's the bottom line, being deceived.

  571. And so stay in the middle of the road, stay connected, amen.

  572. Come on, lift your hands and receive today Hallelujah.

  573. Thank you, lord.

  574. Last days dangers, but, lord, we don't have to succumb to the danger.

  575. We can be renewed and refreshed all the way down.

  576. There's no point in losing our joy.

  577. There's no point in letting the devil steal our joy.

  578. Come on, let's shout for joy, hallelujah.

  579. Glory to God, go over to God.
