One of the signs of the end times is ethnic rivalry and can you not see people of God
-
that that's what they're trying to stir up? They want to break us apart and it will not happen
-
in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are Christians first, then we are Americans second
-
and we embrace that and we are united and we're not going to be divided. Amen.
-
Welcome to the City Light Church podcast. Thanks for joining us today as we look into God's
-
Word and discover the hope and truth that he has for us. If you want to connect with City Light
-
Church feel free to visit us at citylightnyc.com that's citylightnyc.com. Pastor Boyan Jansik and his
-
team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds.
-
As you listen to today's teaching remember that you are deeply loved by God that you are surrounded
-
by His grace and that He has a real hope and a future for you.
-
So I've been trying to preach this message for several weeks when I'm going to preach this
-
morning. I finally got it out today on the Sons of Issaqar which really has nothing to do with
-
the Sons of Issaqar but they're a good intro. So let me rephrase it my intro is on the Sons of Issaqar.
-
Look at that face I'm making. It's almost like the face like it's not really on the Sons of Issaqar.
-
I got you but this has been on my heart to preach ever since I was in Guatemala and we were all
-
on a mission strip in Guatemala right about a month ago and I didn't feel the full release from
-
the Lord and then last week I preached a message on 10 things to do if you're in a hard place or
-
having a hard time or experiencing a crisis. And if you're a guest I want you to know that 99%
-
of what's preached from this pulpit is about Jesus. It's about the power of the Holy Spirit. It's
-
on how to live a victorious Christian life and how to receive everything that Jesus Christ
-
died for you to have and we magnify Jesus all the time but there are times where I have to touch
-
on other things. Do you know why? Because we don't live in heaven yet. We live on earth and we're
-
facing some earthly issues and problems and we need to be aware of what's going on. So let's turn
-
to first Chronicles 1232 that talks about these wise sons. It says of the sons of Issaqar
-
who had understanding of the times. They were wise. They were discerning. They had an understanding of
-
what was happening around them. By the way here's what was happening. I didn't mention this in the
-
first service. Here's what was happening. It was a time of national transition. Saul's kingdom
-
was collapsing. David's kingdom was emerging. Many tribes hesitated but the sons of Issaqar understood
-
the moment. You got to understand the moment. You own it. You better never let it go.
-
Sorry, sorry. Just sometimes that sin nature, that carnal nature that was crucified with Christ.
-
Now I'm hearing spaghetti on my sweater already. It's important to know the moment.
-
Seize the moment. They recognize all seasons was over. David was God's anointed king. Israel needed
-
to align with God's new move. Discernment always leads to action. The verse says that they knew what
-
was happening and they knew what Israel ought to do. They operated in discernment. They were
-
aware of what was happening and they knew the cultural. This is important. The cultural shifts
-
that were taking place and shaping the national ideology. I find that right now most people
-
are blind to the psychological operation that is happening in America. That there is an intentional
-
shift in our ideologies, our mentality, our culture and it's for a reason. It's to destabilize and
-
destroy what really is an exceptional nation. Is it not an exceptional nation? Listen, y'all.
-
If you don't think it's an exceptional nation, you got a 191 others to choose from.
-
I'm an immigrant. You know why I came here? Because it's an exceptional nation. I left a far
-
less exceptional nation. And here at City Light, you know we have, we took a survey years ago.
-
It could be more now. 50 different countries represented at City Light. That is beautiful.
-
And we need to love our country and defend our country. Why? Because we're trying to build a
-
church that glorifies Jesus in this country. And if this country is shaken, if this country goes
-
down, the church goes down with it. The church of Jesus Christ and this local church that we're
-
pouring our hearts and lives into building. Hallelujah. They had wisdom. Intelligence is great.
-
When you're intelligent, you can look at that. It's raining. Oh, look, it's raining outside.
-
Well, that's because evaporation happened. And then condensation. And then came precipitation.
-
That's nice. But wisdom tells you to take out the umbrella. Amen. Wisdom is knowledge applied.
-
So they had this understanding. And Jesus rebuked people who didn't have an understanding of
-
the times of what was happening around them. Go to that verse. I believe it's in Matthew 16 verse
-
2 to 3. Jesus, he rebukes the people of his day, especially the religious leaders. When it is
-
evening, you look at the evening and you say it's going to be a good day. It's going to be fair
-
weather because the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today for the sky
-
is red and threatening hypocrites. You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot
-
discern the signs of the times. Now Jesus is so awesome. He is the fulfillment of all the
-
prophecies that they've been studying all their lives. He is God in the flesh. He is the Messiah that
-
come. And they right there, seeing the one that they've been reading about all their lives,
-
couldn't recognize him. And he says, you are dull. You are asleep. You're a bunch of hypocrites.
-
Have you ever gone out of your house and it's not raining yet, but you just take one good
-
whiff and you're like, it's going to rain today. Or you see a certain night sky and you're like,
-
it's going to be a great day tomorrow. You don't even have to check the weather app. He's saying,
-
you guys know how to do that, but you can't discern the age that you're living in.
-
So Jesus is rebuking people who are dull and who aren't discerning of the times. And the sons of
-
Issachar are lifted up as a group of related men who had an understanding of the times. And
-
too many Christians are absolutely asleep. They've been lulled to sleep and they get their news
-
and they get their understanding of the world as it is right now through memes. That's it.
-
Memes that either are going to make you laugh or make you angry. There isn't that much middle ground.
-
You haven't gotten to the angry one son yet. He goes, no, I have. You've graduated to the
-
anger ones because when you were a kid, you just knew the funny ones. They just want to get kids to
-
because those are the ones that will stir up emotion in you. And so people will base their whole
-
worldview, their whole life doctrine off of memes, not understanding that we actually are a nation
-
under threat right now. And I don't say, you guys know, if you're a guest, you're probably,
-
I don't know, is that kind of a church? I was going through this morning.
-
This is not normally me. But we are a nation under threat right now. Satan hates America. He said,
-
why does Satan hate America? Because the gospel is free in America. You don't know how Christian
-
America is until you leave America where I go, I go into stores and they're playing Christian music.
-
I go into a Chick-fil-A in the bathroom and there's instrumental worship songs being played.
-
I can preach the gospel on any street corner. You can't do that in most countries. We were just
-
in Guatemala for the umpteenth time and we started talking about the walls around the houses.
-
Most of the houses are not houses, they're huts made with sheets of metal. And an outside bathroom
-
which the toilet is a bucket. But if it's a bit of a nicer house, there's 12 to 15 foot high
-
walls built around each one. How many of you, you're not going to raise your hand. But many of you
-
come from a country where every house has a wall around it. Nathaniel St. Lloyd from Haiti,
-
I've been to Haiti. I spent a week in Port-au-Prince. I saw not only is their wall around every house
-
but broken bottle stuck on the ends of all those walls because they can't get barbed wire so break
-
about stick it on the wall. Why? Because that's how it is out there. So many of us Americans have
-
been low to sleep and we just take it for granted that I can live in the suburbs and have a house
-
without walls because I'm not thinking my neighbor at 3am might be creeping to slip my throat and
-
take my stuff. But that's the reality and the majority of the world. Satan doesn't like prosperity,
-
Satan doesn't like progress and especially doesn't like the gospel being preached and at its height
-
listen to this 91% of global, man, three people come in and every head gets distracted. What's going
-
on? I'm right here. I'm giving out stats. How could I lose you during stats? 91% at the height,
-
we were responsible for 91% of all global missionaries. That's not nothing. That's huge. Hallelujah.
-
Sending missionaries, building hospitals, building orphanages. We support since 2009,
-
that's going to be nearly 20 years. Orphanage through Marcy and the Grace Center in Bajair Dari
-
Ethiopia. Oh, hallelujah. So every generation faces cultural shifts, spiritual confusion,
-
scripture repeatedly shows societies drifting from God. Isaiah 5, 20 says,
-
those who call evil good, there's a lot of that now. And good evil who put darkness for light and
-
light for darkness. When a culture becomes confused about good and evil, it is a sign of spiritual
-
blindness. And Romans describes, in the book of Romans chapter 1 verse 21, describes a similar
-
condition. This is what it says, because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God,
-
professing to be wise, they became fools. A society can become very intellectually confident,
-
but morally disoriented. All right, let's get to number one. I want to give you three things.
-
And based on the response from the first service, I'm going to do a sequel next week. Amen.
-
I want to give you three things that are happening in our country right now that threaten our country.
-
And it's real. And it shouldn't be belittled. And really, it's happening all around us.
-
Everybody knows that it is impossible to take America over from the outside. Just by virtue of
-
our military might. And then do you know what Emperor Hirohedo in the Second World War,
-
when he was asked why all the battles were taking place in the air and in the Pacific and why he
-
would never invade America, he said, behind every blade of grass that would be an American with a gun.
-
And I thought that was like only down in the south. I moved to Long Island. I mean, every man has
-
not a gun. Guns. Guns. Lots of guns. I'm like, oh, you have guns. Oh, it takes out his phone.
-
Every single, oh, look, I'm like, you got guns for 20 people. Yeah, I know. And each of them like that.
-
So in other words, Americans have a lot of guns. In case there was ever boots on the ground here,
-
every male would be armed. Amen. Geographically, we're separated from a lot of the world.
-
And we have military supremacy. And it would take a whole lot of work and a whole lot of aircrafts
-
and water crafts to bring a whole army here. So America cannot be invaded from the outside.
-
So the enemy wants to invade America from the inside by changing the way we think and changing how
-
we feel about things. And the battle is mainly online and social media. And yes, mama, mama,
-
memes. And people can be so silly. They forget their Christian worldview, their Christian foundation.
-
And they just see one meme. And if you like it, or forward it to a friend, the algo kicks in
-
and out wants to feed you more of this stuff. And that's why you can get people that are so convinced
-
of something, even though it has nothing to do with logic. It's intellectually dishonest,
-
but they will argue until they're blue in the face because they got convinced by a meme.
-
So in no particular order, number one, what threatens our country is something known as critical
-
race theory. Thank you for all the amends. What is critical theory of any kind?
-
Hear me out. Because some of you immediately went into white guy preaching. He said critical race
-
there. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, triggered, triggered, triggered. Just chill. Don't get triggered.
-
I have not yet begun to trigger you. Hang on. This is going to be fun. Way forward.
-
I'm going to knock those memes right out of you.
-
Critical theory is not a new thing. Critical theory is a spawn of Marxism.
-
Critical theory has been used to destabilize nations in one sentence to just define critical theory.
-
It is a worldview. It is seeing everything through the lens of oppressor versus oppressed.
-
You can only either be an oppressor or you can only either be oppressed.
-
And it's been used. It caused the collapse of Russia, cause the collapse of those what we now
-
refer to as the Eastern European nations because it comes in and produces class warfare.
-
It gets people from one nation fighting against the same people that are in their nation.
-
It gets them riled up in angry. It's viewing everything through that lens of
-
I'm either an oppressor or I'm being oppressed. So then what's the gold if you're being oppressed
-
to rise up and be an oppressor of your own?
-
Yeah. So play this clip. By the way, I was in Guatemala.
-
My own business. But in the morning, I like to check the news.
-
So I wake up and I see this guy. David Wu. Let me announce. Let me announce first. Let me
-
read you his credentials. Unless you think he's just some random guy. He's not random.
-
He is a Democratic Texas State representative for District 37. So this is somebody who's in
-
the House of Representatives. A former prosecutor and attorney, he serves as minority leader,
-
chair of the Texas House Democratic Caucus. And he said this on February 7th of this year.
-
Let's play that tape. I always tell people that day, the Latino, African-American, Asian and
-
other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning.
-
Because we are the majority in this country now. We have the ability to take over this country
-
and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair. But the problem is our communities
-
are divided. They're completely divided. I always tell people the day, hang on. We're going to play
-
that again. I always tell people the day, the Latino, African-American, Asian,
-
other communities realize that they are that they share the same oppressor. Pause it.
-
The day we start winning. That they share the same oppressor. Who's that oppressor?
-
Who, what sweet person said the government? You are so, what? You think he's talking about the
-
government? You're a sweetie pie. And that's what it is. See, the Bible says to the pure,
-
all things are pure. A lot of Christians don't get it because they go around and they see everything
-
through a lens of, well, I love people. I love all people. Everybody must just love. And I'm not
-
used to Satan. Could anybody ever really be used to Satan? Why people? This is, I've never met a
-
Chinese guy like this in my life. Ever. I ask why? I've never, I grew up in Queens. All right,
-
I was saved in an Asian ministry. I have never, ever heard a Chinese guy say this. You know, because
-
he's now operating under critical theory. And by the way, he came here to America. He was adopted
-
by two loving white parents. And here's what he's saying. He's saying, we're now the majority.
-
Asians and Latinos. And we have to get whitey. And he says, now we can take the oppressor back.
-
Yeah. Now, let me just tell you something. America is responsible for over 50% of immigrants coming
-
to America. In other words, of all immigration that happens on planet earth, over 50% is to America.
-
If America is so oppressive, why does over 50% of all immigrants come to America?
-
Oh, because it's an economic opportunity. Really, if it was that oppressive, you wouldn't care
-
about that. If 1938 Nazi Germany was a great economic opportunity, would you go there? I wouldn't.
-
That's real oppression. That's real racism. And by the way, man, facts don't care about your
-
feelings. So I'm going to just give you facts. 90% of all global immigration is to majority white
-
countries. Why? Because whitey's so oppressive? I got all these non-white people here agreeing with
-
me in the second row. And then you get past and people are like, frozen, I'm sorry that you're
-
finding this awkward. That's called a non-apology. I'm sorry that you're feeling this way.
-
In fact, I'm going to slow down so we can marinate more in the awkwardness.
-
Some of you are just like, oh, here's a white man saying he's just upset because
-
he said they're going to get white people. Yeah, I like white people. I moved here.
-
Let me tell you something about where I'm from. Thank you. My daughter said, okay.
-
I moved here. I immigrated here from former Yugoslavia. All right.
-
I moved here because my country was crap. Okay. I would have never said that in my first 15
-
years in this country. Some of you still not willing to say that, but you got to be honest.
-
I moved here because my country was crap. Do I still love my people? Yeah. Do I love the
-
food? Yeah. People said, you love the culture? Yeah. Love the music. Love the food.
-
No upward mobility there. Couldn't raise a family like I'm raising a family over there. Would
-
have probably never ever heard the gospel over there. I heard the gospel here. I got saved here.
-
I got called into ministry here. I like what they built here. I don't want to bring what I left
-
here. All right. When we moved here, we didn't say, all right, where's all the Serbians in New
-
York City? Let's hang out with them. Yeah. You know why? Because I saw what they built. I didn't
-
like that. I like what they built here better. Oh man. If you're agreeing with me, could you be
-
a little bit louder? Because the faces, the faces, the faces of the people who are not agreeing
-
with me are, I'm getting some daggers thrown at me. Let me tell you something. If you immigrated
-
here, you also came from, I mean, you just provoked me more. You came from a crap country.
-
Yeah. Yeah. If you don't think so, go back. You picked a country. Pick one and then say,
-
buy to the other one. All right. When I became a citizen, I had to say, I am renouncing. I had
-
to swear an oath. That means something. That means something to God. And I had to read something
-
that was a paragraph long that went something like I renounce all other rulers, dictators,
-
kings, princes, governors, potentates, principal. This whole list of other leaders I renounce.
-
And I now become a citizen of the United States of America. And I had to do that. And I did it with
-
joy. Amen. Hallelujah. Oh, Matthew 24, seven. Why is this important? Because Jesus said, for
-
nation, that's the Greek ethnos. For ethnos will rise against ethnos and kingdom against kingdom.
-
And there will be famines, pestilence and earthquakes in various places. One of the signs of the
-
end times is ethnic rivalry, ethnic tensions. And can you not see people of God that that's what they're
-
trying to stir up? They want to break us apart. And it will not happen in the church of the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. We hear. We are Christians first. Then we are Americans second. And we embrace that.
-
And we are united. And we're not going to be divided. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Thank you, Lord. I remember the early 2000s how I remember it. There was so, you know, it was so
-
little racial awareness. Sit it. There was only one pastor back in the day. Me. And every wedding I
-
did. Never talked about race, never ever. I was raised in the IDs. People now say you're not
-
supposed to be colorblind. Just sorry. I was trained for 20 years to be colorblind. When I got saved
-
in that church in bedside, you know what the street vendors were selling hats that said colorblind
-
on them. Now you said colorblind, you offend somebody. Back then we were taught to be colorblind.
-
And so, grew up in the 80s, the 90s, post civil rights, learned to appreciate what happened and grew
-
up in like what we considered a post racial country. And if all the weddings I did from 2002 going
-
into 2007, they were all multiracial weddings, interracial weddings. But no, we didn't even go,
-
hey, isn't this cool? A white guy is marrying a black woman. It was just like, it just happened.
-
It was just normal life. And then something started to happen around 09, 10, and then get to 11,
-
12. And it's like this pot is getting stirred. The pot is getting stirred. And ethnos is rising up
-
against ethnos that didn't happen by accident. And you know what, if you don't believe me, you know,
-
we just vacationed in Belize. Did I share about Belize with you at all? Belize has a German
-
population. It's funny. They were the men and knights. They came, they're all the farmers in
-
Belize. So you got white, cream cheese white, blue eyes, like white white people. You have
-
AF from Africa, Afro black. You have the local pot. You have, it's very, very diverse.
-
There is, I'm on the boat, right? We're on the boat. And we're seeing somebody who looks like a
-
German, like looks like a Nazi propaganda poster, right? And he's there paling around and they're all
-
different. They don't even like recognize that they're different ethnicities. So that intrigued me
-
and I started talking to him about it. It doesn't even enter their psyche. You know why? Because they
-
weren't taught to care about it via the memes and the media and the constant rage, and the atrocities
-
being thrown in their face, wanting to destabilize the nation. Do you understand what that guy just
-
said? He's actually calling for a race war. That's what he's calling for. This is somebody in the
-
House of Representatives. You think this is going to decrease? This is where it's all headed.
-
They want to, why? Because you cannot take over a unified nation, but you can take over a
-
D state. That's how my nation fell apart, by the way. Where I come from, Yugoslavia no longer
-
exists. It's seven different countries now. Slovenia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia,
-
Croatia. It's been, why? When I grew up, we didn't even know who was white, but it was what's
-
known as a color revolution, not color, look the same color wise. It's when an outside entity comes
-
in and infiltrates through whatever media is available and basically stokes the fire and gets
-
people with even the slightest difference fighting to destabilize in recognition. That's what they're
-
trying to do right now. And it's our job as Christians to never let that happen and love the
-
people who you see it happening to and call them back to the truth. Come on now. Hallelujah.
-
Who is your tribe anyway? Who is your tribe? You know, you go to prison, people, when you're
-
backs against the world, people immediately show how tribalistic they are. You go to prison
-
immediately, people go according to their skin color ethnicity, they break up, they break apart.
-
That's a fact. If we were invaded by a foreign nation and there were boots on the ground of a
-
foreign enemy right now, who would you run to? I know who I'd run to? You. Christians are my tribe.
-
Christians should be your tribe. What are you then going to go, where are you from?
-
DR, Puerto Rico, because you know, because I'm, you know, oh, that's your tribe. Christians, we
-
are united by the blood of Jesus. We have the same worldview. We have the same mentality,
-
the same ideology. We have the same value system. Where are the ones who would be banding together? Amen.
-
Oh, hallelujah. I rebuked the spirit of memes out of you right now. I break the devil's power.
-
All right, so number one is critical theory. That was representative Jean Wu.
-
Number two, as far as threats against our way of life in our country right now, that's a real
-
thing is globalism. What is globalism? Globalism is the idea that countries should become
-
interconnected. Sounds nice, right? That also means borderless, which erodes national sovereignty.
-
Now let's define country right now. I think that's helpful. Let's put that definition of
-
what a country is because some people have forgotten. And it really shouldn't be that complex.
-
A country is when a group of people have a territory and they do stuff for themselves inside of
-
it. This is written on the third grade level. So nobody's missed. Right? You're in a country you do
-
stuff for yourself within that country. The blue people would live in the blue country and they
-
would do stuff for the good of blue people. And if the red people go to the blue country and say,
-
you're not doing enough for red people, it's like, well, of course not, you're not us.
-
This is not yours. If you don't like it, go back to red land. This should not be that hard to
-
understand. Not be that hard to agree with either, but you could drop a pin in here for whatever
-
reason. But we are four generations deep in social engineering, causing fatal brain damage.
-
Acts 1726, you know who had the idea of different borders in different countries? God did. God
-
is not for globalism. Globalism, and I'll get to Revelation in just a bit, is what ushers in the
-
Antichrist. God is not for everybody. He's not for just the one world. You see all of this stuff
-
sounds nice on paper, right? Oh, we are saying. It's a gift of peace of chance, no more boundaries,
-
no more borders, no password. We're all just one. No. And he has made from one blood every nation
-
of men to dwell on all the face of the earth and has determined their pre-appointed times and the
-
boundaries of their dwelling. Do you know what would happen if when I came here from Yugoslavia
-
in 1981, there were 18 million people in Yugoslavia? What if I transported 18 million Yugoslavians
-
into, couldn't do it just New York, say the Eastern seaboard? What would happen? What if I was like,
-
I really love, man, my countrymen, Yugoslavians. And then just it was just 18 million Yugoslavians
-
all along the United States seaboard. You know what would happen? I wouldn't want to live in
-
America anymore. That's what would happen. You have to be honest and be willing to say, I don't,
-
you know why? They're mentality. Do I, do you say, you're talking about your cousins,
-
you're talking about your family? I know, and I told them all this. And you know what? Each of them
-
agreed. I came to America and I was like, these Americans are different. Like where all about,
-
I can, I can't, I can't, I can't. They're all about, I can, I can't. Maybe that's the way
-
they're called American. They're so positive. They take risks. They see possibility in everything.
-
They're fiercely independent. They have a prosperity mindset. We wear negative, we're whiny,
-
we're complaining. If there's like 10 reasons to do it and one reason not to do it, we pick the 11th
-
reason not to do it. And I don't, I don't want to be around that. I came here. I like what those
-
Americans did. I want to get some of that American on me. Amen. Revelation 13 11 through 12.
-
Here's the warning against globalism. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
By the way, if you think I'm white, I found out recently I'm not. I didn't know. I should have known
-
Montenegro. It's in the name. I'm from Montenegro. But I was actually talking to a white supremacist,
-
which when Biden came into office, he said the number one threat to America right now is white
-
supremacy. I've never ever met a white supremacist in my life. But recently did. And first thing you
-
told me is I'm not white. Because I'm from South Slavia. You go is South. You go Slavia. We're right
-
down there, boarded just North of Greece. And we were under Turkish occupation for 600 years. He said
-
you're all mixed up in your genetics and blood anyway. And he reminded me, and most people don't
-
know, you know, when it comes to slavery, so many, there's been so much ignorance revealed in the
-
last five, six years. There's people actually convinced that slavery started with America.
-
Slavery was global since there was man. They were beating and enslaving one another. But the term
-
slave actually comes from Slav. You go Slav. The more starting in the 800s, they'll come in and
-
say pick up a few of those slavs over there, we need work. And then the Turks came and occupied
-
us for 600 years. And that evolved from the old English to the modern English slave from Slav.
-
Maybe that's why I feel so emboldened to preach this. Because I'm white, but not white.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth and he
-
had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all authority of the first beast
-
in his presence and causes the white, the earth, the globe, the entire planet. When this was written
-
2,000 years ago, they couldn't even conceive how that would work. They couldn't conceive that
-
there would be one figure, the antichrist, who would have global control. How do you even do that?
-
How do you even do that when nations are separated? How do you even do that from a communications
-
perspective? How do you do that from a currency perspective? That's all doable now. Because of
-
globalization, this is why historically Christians have resisted globalization. We can walk in
-
Chugam at the same time, right? Which means we can hold two thoughts in our head at the same time.
-
I can say all this and be an immigrant and have a church full of immigrants and still say this,
-
amen. Hallelujah. You're an immigrant? Praise God. Welcome to the U.S.
-
Let's go to Revelation 13 12 or 17. He causes all now talking about the antichrist, the beast. He
-
causes all both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right
-
hand or on their foreheads and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark of the name
-
of the beast or the number of his name. 2,000 years ago, they couldn't conceive how one person
-
could have global authority that no one would be able to buy or sell on the whole globe, on the whole
-
earth. But that's possible today. I'm just making the case against globalism. Are you tracking
-
with me? Why Christians have always resisted globalism? Hallelujah. Their concern is less about
-
international cooperation and more about concentrated authority. You don't want concentrated
-
authority over the entire earth. Otherwise, when it hits the fan, where do you go to?
-
Concentrated authority and could pressure, conformity and restrict the church's ability to live and
-
preach biblical convictions freely. So, when we were in Guatemala, I'm going to say this way,
-
when we were in Guatemala, which we've been going to since 2009 and have spent over $6,700,000
-
over the last X number of years, held built 50 churches. The bad bunny thing came out because we
-
were there for the Super Bowl. And I know you guys have been wondering. I know you're in your beds
-
at night going, what does pastor think about bad bunny? You know, everybody, remember? I mean,
-
not we forgot about it, but remember how like that Sunday in the next day was like, it was
-
about bad bunny. And the arguments, what they made, the central thing, is not at all the central
-
thing. Like, oh, he did the whole thing in Spanish. First of all, let me say this, as a surb, I couldn't
-
imagine going to the Super Bowl and doing the whole thing in Serbian. But that's not even the important
-
part. Then they go, oh, they were so, they were so raunchy and it was so sexualized. Yes,
-
so was every other Super Bowl halftime show. And there were all these arguments online.
-
Most of them never ever touching on what the real programming was during the bad bunny performance.
-
And let me just say this, nobody has heard of bad bunny before he went to the surb.
-
I asked in Guatemala, 20 of us, how many of you heard of bad bunny? Frenchy. Frenchy's like,
-
I heard a bad bunny. And then he did, he did say, well, you all don't know who bad bunny is,
-
I must stop that. Fine, you're so hip, you're so cool. Most of us never ever heard of him.
-
He is a puppet and he's a puppet meant to push a particular globalistic agenda.
-
And that, that, that was the main message. What I'm about to show you right now,
-
that's actually what they wanted to enter into the American psyche. Now, look,
-
football is American, uniquely American, so much so that we call it football, even the footballs
-
called soccer internationally. All right, basketball is international, football, soccer is international,
-
but football is American and the Super Bowl is the most American event of this American invented
-
sport. And so then we have this. This is the park. Just pause it. God bless America, right?
-
And then listing every single country in the Western hemisphere. And it sounds so nice, right?
-
You got the music. He's smiling real big. And behind him is the classic sign. Only love can
-
overcome hate. As I'm attacking the very foundation of your country, only love can overcome hate.
-
Here's the message here. It's for pan-Americanism. Pan-Americanism is an ideology that all the
-
Americans are the same and they're all one and forget the borders, forget the outlines of the country
-
and the whole of the Western hemisphere should be one. Guess what? If the whole of the Western
-
hemisphere was one, be honest. I don't want America looking like Guatemala. I don't. I love Guatemala.
-
I spent nearly a million dollars helping Guatemalans. I gave away watches to Guatemalan pastors.
-
We've poured out our hearts in Guatemala. But when I fall down to sleep, I want to sleep here.
-
I want it to be like America and I want Guatemala to become more like America. Amen.
-
That shouldn't be controversial to say yet because of the memes that you've been programmed with
-
you're wondering whether you still like me or not. That is the message. That is what was
-
tried pan-Americanism because God bless America is a uniquely United States of America saying or slogan.
-
So look at the Fugaisi. Look at the whole, look here, left hand right. He says God bless America.
-
Well, you know, what's wrong with that? Because there's North America and South America. No,
-
but there's only one United States of America whose motto, whose saying, whose slogans were God bless
-
America. You're saying God bless America and then play it again. Just play the same thing. He's
-
listing other nations. Just hit the play button. That's it.
-
So what they want is a borderless economic zone. Why do they want a borderless economic zone?
-
Because nobody dies and gives their life for a borderless economic zone. You know what you do?
-
A borderless economic zone. You come in like a parasite and you exploit it and then you leave.
-
And that's what they want our country to become. You say who's they? Them, the globalists, the elites,
-
the ones pulling the strings. Have you ever just looked around and on what is happening to the
-
country? I grew up in. And why does it seem like we're doing things that are directly in our position
-
to what's best for our nation? They don't want you to love America. Why? Because when you don't love
-
America, then you don't try to build America. You don't give your life for America. My son is not
-
learning any real American history. Several years ago, I asked him, hey, and don't be embarrassed
-
by this because it's not your fault. But you know, I asked him, tell me, because I remember, listen,
-
I started kindergarten here. I remember drawing the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. I remember
-
and we made the little things and then I remember about the first things giving. And then they
-
taught me about George Washington and the Boston Tea Party and the Minutemen and they explained to me
-
why the Constitution was so different and so unique and it was the foundation of what would become
-
the greatest nation in history. I grew up with that, so I learned to love America. They're not
-
even teaching it anymore. All right, he's in sixth grade right now and they just glazed over the
-
declaration of independence. Why? Because they want his generation to grow up and really not
-
care that much and not love their country. And there is a lot of propaganda to get you to hate
-
America. Do not hate America. Listen, I say this with love and respect, this can get real emotional,
-
hang on. In 2020, the summer of 2020, wild times, remember that? And racial tensions were so high
-
and I had precious black people in our church say, I can't even look at an American flag because when
-
I look at it, I think racism. I understand that that history has been very, very difficult,
-
very, very awful, but you are an American. And I say this with love, you don't need a separate
-
national anthem. You are an American. I'm now an American. Many of you have become Americans and
-
are on your way to becoming Americans. Do not allow them to slice and dice and slice and dice
-
and divide us up because that's all this kind of stuff is doing. That wasn't by accident and
-
that was incredibly divisive. That's right, kingdom over culture. Have you seen the land
-
acknowledgments? It happened right now at the Grammys. It happens at the Oscars. Most extreme
-
liberals or just liberals whenever they take the American. The first do the landing knowledge man.
-
I should do that before I preach. Before I bring you the word of God, I just want to acknowledge
-
that I'm standing on stolen land and that this land was stolen and that and what am I really saying
-
that it is illegal for us to be here? It is not morally right for us to be here and all of America
-
is just built on this disgusting graveyard of sin and so now I'm getting you to hate America.
-
It's all to get the land acknowledgments to get you to hate America because you don't build a
-
country you hate and you don't die for a country you hate. Why when I asked them hey what's
-
things giving? He didn't know. I said what are you learning about right now? He said the Algonquin
-
Indians. What? The Algonquin Indian? I'm sure the Algonquins have some history but you know what
-
we're not living in Algonquin land. We're living in the United States and you should know exactly
-
what happened in our history and what is the foundation of this country. Is this controversial?
-
What I'm saying this shouldn't be. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
All right you ready for number three? How many of you think you want to sequel to this or you
-
had enough? Yeah your faces could have fooled me. Somebody came to me from first service and said
-
don't pay attention to their faces. This is just the first time they're hearing something
-
out loud that's contrary to the constant programming that they're under.
-
Try to play a game. Play a game. I play this game with my kids. Play with yourself where you just
-
now want in every commercial and every meme in the humor it points out. Try to fair how are they
-
trying to change my mind? Get me to hate my own country. Get me to hate another person who lives
-
in my country. It's everywhere. Hallelujah. So no particular order but this is something that's
-
destructive and that is a satanic agenda and that's feminism. Show that tweet. This major leader
-
in the feminist movement today tweeted this today. She's got a book out called Good Slut.
-
Good Slut is out today. Run to Barnes and Noble.
-
Some key takeaways. Careerism is good for women, even mothers and their children.
-
Women do not generally belong behind the sink with a brood. I mean hold on, behind the sink with a
-
brood. Look at my wife right now is holding her daughter. Even our daughter is going to be eight
-
years old soon. This is the happiest I see her. Julia who just had a baby was in the first service.
-
Holding her. You should have seen. There was a glow around her holding a baby. Do you understand the
-
SIAP, the brainwashing that had to happen to get moms whose greatest fulfillment in joy is holding
-
a child and bringing up a child. They had to play that down and play that down and destroy the
-
image of that so that women would chase careers over families. If it was up to me, if I became
-
president, which I can't because I'm an immigrant. I would have statues erected all across the
-
land of mothers. We should prize mothers. We should lift up mothers. We should thank mothers.
-
Mothers are the building block of an entire nation. A lot of evolutionary psychology is
-
bunk, regressive sexism. The female of the species is quite often the more promiscuous. This is
-
the whole sex in the city nonsense. This is the whole hate men. They're bad for you. By the way,
-
when I say feminism, I'm not talking about equal pay for equal work. I'm not talking about what they
-
first said feminism was in 1960. Who's going to argue with equal pay for equal work? But what
-
that quickly morphed into, which was brief promiscuous, forget being a mother, forget being a family,
-
go out there and be a girl boss, be a career woman, be oppressed by a corporation so you're not
-
oppressed by some man. And now it's not just the dad that's paying taxes. It's the husband and the
-
wife that are paying taxes. And the government just found the way to double its income.
-
Why is this? Why did I could have talked about a lot of things? I might get to Zionism next Sunday.
-
But why did I put feminism? I'm dealing with this spirit right now. Just in New York City, young people
-
are frustrated. Men are now going, I don't want to be with another woman because they're so different.
-
I mean, they were always obviously different, but like they're angry and they have these weird,
-
weird, like psychological hangups. I'll get to what women think, too. And so what are they doing?
-
A lot of unsafe men in their 20s, they're getting high off a weed, they're playing PS5 Xbox,
-
and they're hanging with their bros, and dating has gone, this is true, dating has gone down the
-
toilet. And you know what else has consequently gone down the toilet? Procreation, making babies,
-
and there is an attack on the patriarchy. Even if you say patriarchy and you go, what do you?
-
What do you think of? You know what I think of when I hear patriarchy? I think how God wants it,
-
holy good men, loving their wives, helping bring up kids, creating stability, creating a protective
-
environment. It's how God initiated it, how he orchestrated it, it's what he's called us to.
-
But then I have to hear about toxic masculinity. And then we get a mayor who puts as the head
-
of the fire department, a woman who's never even been a fireman. You know what to be a fireman,
-
you have to be able to carry your own body weight up six floors. Any woman want to give that a shot
-
with me? No, I'm on the six floor, there's a fire, I want some good ol' faction, toxic masculinity
-
coming up. I need a hero who comes, rescue me. I want five men, six foot two and above, six
-
pack ripped, put me over their shoulder, run down. Man and woman are equal before God. You see that
-
in the scriptures. God took Eve out of Adam's rib from her side, not from his skull so that she
-
should lord it over him, not from his heel that he should lord it over her, but he made them equal,
-
equal in worth, equal in value, but not equal in function, where that shouldn't again be controversial
-
to say, where design with different purposes. And so they're not interchangeable, but this extreme
-
feminism treats men and women like they're interchangeable. Do you know, I don't believe there should
-
be female cops? I don't. Do you know that if you look at the scriptures, that's the woman
-
in the army, woman as police officers, woman as firemen, that's the sign of a curse on a nation.
-
That's the sign of men failing and not doing their jobs in a curse coming upon a nation.
-
So why don't you believe, I think you're a little sexist. No, stop it. Stop your nonsense.
-
I just how many videos have you seen of one man and three or four female police officers trying
-
to arrest that man? And the man still gets away. Men are physically stronger. It's a biological
-
fact and it's very hard to argue with biology. Worship team, that was a great time to come up.
-
Here's what the women say, by the way, and they're right. The women have a trouble because they'll
-
say, hey, we're all the strong men. It's a bunch of girly men, a bunch of pansies. They can't make
-
a decision. They got no guts. They got no courage. They've been feminized. Well, look at the
-
programming they've been under. They show any kind of strength. They're slapped back into play.
-
Oh, toxic masculinity. Don't assert yourself. Don't be aggressive. Let me tell you something, men.
-
Look at the disciples. Look at the men that Jesus wrote in the book of Acts. You know what they
-
were? There were one hair away from being barbarians. We should all be like David, warrior poets.
-
You know what? Meekness is biblical. Meekness is strength under control.
-
Strength under control. Somebody came in here to harm us. What do you think? What do you think I
-
would do? You think I would duck? I promise you I would be leaping over. I would take him. I would
-
race our armed security to get him. And that should be every man in here. Keep it under.
-
Meekness strength under control. But don't let them snip you, man. They're coming. They're coming
-
with their hedge clippers. They want to snip you. They'll let them snip you.
-
And would that strength be fiercely loving? Be fiercely holy?
-
Defend what God entrusted into your care. Amen. Didn't plan for that.
-
But our men need to be emboldened because they've been so confused and so messed up.
-
They don't know what a man is anymore. And the media is responsible for that. Look at Jesus.
-
And don't look at Catholic Jesus. Don't look at blonde hair, blue eye, pretty hoidy toyty. Look at the
-
real biblical Jesus. The one who flipped tables over. Back to the bone. They're looking at him with
-
hate and murder daggers in there as they go to destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it
-
up before Abraham was I am. They come to arrest him. Peter whoops out his sword to defend him.
-
He goes put away your sword. Don't you know if I wanted I could pray the Father and he was sent
-
seven legions of angels come here to defend me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Church, this is a worship team. They're good. This is a hairy subject.
-
It comes out. How it comes out. I pray the Lord make it make sense to you.
-
But since you did so well with this, this was just like the beginning. I'm going to do I'm
-
going to do a sequel next Sunday. And we're going to tear some of these idols down. Amen.
-
Heavenly Father, we pray we have the wisdom of the sons of Issaqar.
-
We pray we have the wisdom of the sons of Issaqar to understand the times.
-
To do as you would have us do. To build as you would have us build. To think about this world
-
and the things around us as you would. I thank you that your blessing rests upon every person
-
and may it be increased and magnified in Jesus name. Amen.
-
Thank you, Jesus. We're going to worship and honor the Lord with our tides and offerings, shall we?
-
Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you so much.
-
Victor, can you jump up and help too? Don't ever let a woman work alone.
-
Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
So the giving information is on the screens to my left and to my right.
-
Give with a glad heart. Give in faith if you have a physical gift there's offering boxes
-
around the sanctuary you can give just by way of QR code. I really I just left my heart and so
-
I preached my guts out. I don't even know how to receive this offering. I'm going to have to
-
believe God that is going to touch you and you'll find a way to give. All my words are gone.
-
Here's the purpose of this. It's at least get you thinking and the more the more you think about
-
this the more you'll realize that the media absolutely hates you and it's the number one enemy to
-
us right now is the media. The media and big tech and big Ed big education.
-
And you know why else this is important because if you have an unbiblical worldview you think how can
-
God bless that? How can God bless that? If you if you if you believe in critical theory and you
-
believe you're oppressed? How can how can prosperity work in your life if you got it in your
-
head that you're oppressed? How are you going to raise your kids? Kids we're here in this country
-
but really they hate you and you're going to grow up in a country that secretly hates you and
-
your your kids are now messed up because you're messed up or you can say you know what I see that I'm
-
free and there's opportunities that abound more so than another it's still the United States is
-
still the most upwardly mobile country there is even with all the damage that's been done
-
you can still come in an immigrant from Yugoslavia plant a church and then hit it in Bitcoin
-
that was opportunity I mean what a weird what a weird weird channel a weird story there's so many
-
somebody there's so many opportunities I talk about mine and the channel I went down and
-
there's channels still being developed do you know in the next five years there's more money
-
that's going to be made because of the AI robotics revolution they say 10 times more than the
-
digital revolution of the info revolution with the internet I pray that you're on the right
-
side of that so in other words what I'm saying is I'm preaching this because error has to be
-
knocked out of us in order for us to be in a place where we can attract blessings if we're
-
thinking wrong if we're seeing the world wrong we're going to be receiving wrong hallelujah
-
ministry team if you would go to the area on my left you're right
-
those altos are still good right three-minute rule if you want prayer for anything anything at all
-
go over there and our ministry team would love to pray with you and for you
-
and I really made did a terrible job receiving that offering I feel like I just gave birth
-
but I just want to say please those of you who are at that place of maturity those of you who aren't
-
at that place of maturity get there get there so you can receive better where you where the tide
-
is holy unto the Lord that's it have a blast in your life groups and we'll see you next Sunday be
