SOMEBODY OVER THERE THAT DROWNED YOU ALL OUT. NO, THEY DID GOOD.

I MEAN, LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS IN HERE. IT'S GORGEOUS,

WOW, I LOVE IT. NOW, LET ME ASK YOU ANOTHER QUESTION.

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE FINISHED WITH YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING?

MOSTLY. MAN, THERE'S ONLY LIKE A FEW HANDS.

I KNOW, MOSTLY. HOW MANY ACTUALLY GO OUT TO

THE SHOPPING MALLS AND STORES? YOU STILL DO?

NOPE. NO, WE DON'T, DO WE, BRENDA? NOT MOSTLY, NO.

NO, HOW MANY OF YOU SHOP ONLINE? OR MAYBE YOU DO BOTH.

YOU COULD GO LIKE THIS. A LITTLE OF BOTH. YEAH.

THAT'S AMAZING. I DO MISS THOSE OLD SEARS CATALOGS. HOW MANY OF

YOU REMEMBER THE WASN'T THAT FUN? YES, WE DO.

AND DID ANYBODY GO AND CIRCLE STUFF?

THAT WAS SORT OF ONLINE SHOPPING WHEN THERE WASN'T THE INTERNET.

WE USED TO FILL OUT THOSE LITTLE ORDER FORMS BACK THEN.

OH MY GOODNESS. DID YOU CIRCLE THE THINGS TOO? YES, I DID.

YEP. OKAY. WELL, LET US KNOW. WE WANT TO GREET THOSE OF YOU

ALSO THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD. IF YOU REMEMBER THE

OLD SEARS CATALOG, AND I THINK THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE.

JCPENNIES. JCPENNIES, THAT'S RIGHT. YOU CAN PUT THAT IN THE

COMMENTS, SAY, "YES, I REMEMBER JCPENNIES," OR WHATEVER.

SOME OF YOU MILLENNIALS, YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE'RE SO HONORED THAT

YOU JOINED US TODAY. AND AGAIN, I'M EXCITED.

WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION TODAY, AND

YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE PART OF ADMINISTERING THAT. SO YOU HAVE

TIME TO GATHER YOUR ELEMENTS AND AS THE BODY

OF CHRIST PARTAKE TOGETHER. SO LET US KNOW ALSO IF

YOU GOT YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING DONE, RIGHT?

AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I JUST, I BUY SOMETHING, THEN I SAY IT'S FROM HER.

THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN DO. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP

YOU WITH SOME MARRIAGE TIPS HERE. WE DO THAT, WE DO THAT.

I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF FUNNY NOW BECAUSE YOU LIKE, I DON'T KNOW

HOW TO SHOP FOR TRAIN STUFF. AND YOU LIKE TO PICK IT OUT.

SO THEN, AND I LIKE TO PICK STUFF OUT.

NOW, IT'S NOT THAT WE NEVER BUY EACH OTHER

ANYTHING, BUT IT IS MORE FUN TO BUY IT AND THEN SAY,

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GOT ME. BECAUSE HERE'S THE THING,

WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HOBBIES?

MY HOBBY IS MUSEUM QUALITY. YEAH, YEAH. SO I'M VERY

PARTICULAR AND IT'S VERY, WELL, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU TOO

MUCH OF THIS INFORMATION, BUT IT COSTS MORE THAN YOU WANT TO

KNOW. WELL, LISTEN, WE'RE VERY EXCITED THAT YOU JOINED US

TODAY AND ALSO YOU THAT ARE HERE. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE A

MESSAGE. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HONOR AND DISHONOR, AND

WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO TALK ABOUT STEWARDING OVER OUR GARDEN

OR OUR VINEYARD. AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE VINEYARD

OF NABOTH. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT AT

HISTORY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DISHONOR IS SOWED

INTO A CULTURE, INTO A NATION? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HONOR IS

SOWED? YOU KNOW, IT'S A REASON WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF THINGS

TODAY IN SOCIETY. IT'S A RESULT OF DISHONOR AND HONOR.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU JOIN US FOR THAT.

TELL SOMEBODY, IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT MESSAGE. ALSO, FOR THOSE

OF YOU, I KNOW WE'VE GOT SOME OF OUR FAMILY, CHURCH FAMILY DOWN

THAT WENT TO THE FLASHPOINT GALA YESTERDAY IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

AND YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING ON YOUR

WAY BACK HERE. I WASN'T ABLE TO GO, YOU KNOW, AND I WANT

YOU ALL TO KNOW THIS, YOU KNOW, AND I TOLD GENE I WAS GOING

TO GET HIM IN A HEADLOCK WHEN HE'S SCHEDULING ON A SATURDAY

NIGHT. I MISS VERY FEW SUNDAYS ON PURPOSE.

I DON'T PREACH VERY, THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE,

THIS IS WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE.

WE TAKE A COUPLE WEEKS OF VACATION AND EVERY ONCE IN A

WHILE I'LL SAY YES TO A SUNDAY OF SOMEBODY THAT MAYBE I KNOW

OR IF I FEEL LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO DO IT, BUT I JUST FELT

LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, I NEEDED TO KIND OF KEEP THE SUNDAYS,

YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO HERE. AND SO THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T GO.

I LOVE GENE, I LOVE FLASHPOINT, SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE MENTION

OF THAT. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO SAY IT

SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T, YOU KNOW, MISUNDERSTAND SOMETHING NOT

NECESSARILY THEY WOULD. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LISTEN, ON A

DIFFERENT NOTE, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE FRENCH FRIES?

I MEAN, COME ON, I MEAN, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER SINNED

EATING A FRENCH FRY? OKAY, AND I PERSONALLY AND ORDER THE LARGE

INSTEAD OF THE MEDIUM. I MEAN, LIKE WHO WANTS A SMALL FRY?

THEY NEVER FILL IT. SO, I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF STUDYING

THEY ALL FALL OUT IN THE BAG. YES, WELL, AND I LIKE, YOU KNOW,

I LIKE RUNS OF FRENCH FRIES. BUT I WILL SAY THIS,

I'VE BEEN STUDYING HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF THINGS.

DO YOU KNOW THE MISNOMER IS THAT FRENCH

FRIES ORIGINATED IN FRANCE AND WAS COOKED IN FRANCE? THEY

REALLY WEREN'T. THEY WERE ACTUALLY STARTED AND COOKED IN

GREECE. SO I JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW THAT.

SO, ALL RIGHT. I SET YOU UP REALLY GOOD. DOUG, THANKS FOR

THE AFFIRMATION AND LET'S GET THE SERVICE STARTED.

WE GOTTA GO SPIRITUAL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

BUT DID YOU GET A GOOD LAUGH OUT OF THAT? WAIT A MINUTE.

CHURCH, BUT I THINK WE OUGHT TO GIVE GOD OUR BEST PRAISE TODAY.

SO LIFT THOSE HANDS UP HIGH TO HEAVEN. DON'T BE A SPECTATOR,

BE A PARTICIPANT. PRESS INTO GOD, FOCUS ON HIM.

MAYBE YOU GOT TO TURN A FEW THINGS OFF

FROM YOUR WEEK, RIGHT? THAT HAPPENS, THAT'S REAL.

SO THROW THOSE HANDS UP AND SAY THIS, SAY, LORD JESUS, I'M

PRESSED INTO YOU. I'M LEANING IN TO THE ANOINTING.

HEART AND MIND, BOTH HERE AND ONLINE. AND I ASK YOU, LORD,

THIS MORNING.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

OTHERS, YOU NEED TO LIFT YOUR HANDS. LET GOD BE THE FOCUS

RIGHT NOW OF YOUR HEART. LET YOUR ATTENTION BE GIVEN TO HIM

AND TO THE HONOR OF HIS NAME. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. OH,

HOW WE HONOR GOD. WE WORSHIP YOU. THERE'LL BE NO END. WE

WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

OH, HOW WE WORSHIP YOU GOD. HOW WE HONOR YOU, WE

LOVE YOU, WE REVERENCE YOU. WE'RE SO HUNGRY, THIRSTY FOR

YOU. OUR HEART LONGS, OUR HEART LONGS TO GO DEEPER. GAZE INTO

YOUR EYES TO SEE THE SMILE UPON YOUR FACE AND TO FEEL THE BREATH

OF YOUR VOICE AND OF YOUR WHISPER AND TO SENSE YOUR

PRESENCE THAT PERMEATES OUR BEING. WE CANNOT LIVE OUR LIFE

WITHOUT YOU. AND WE'RE SO HONORED THAT YOU'RE PART OF OUR

LIFE, THAT YOU ARE OUR LIFE, GOD. AND WE WORSHIP YOU AND

BLESS YOU. AND JUST THE POWER IN THE MENTION OF YOUR NAME,

YESHUA. YOU ARE GOD. YOU ARE GOD. KING OF KINGS AND YOU'RE

THE LORD OF LORDS. YOU ARE LORD SABIO, THE WARRIOR, THE

TRIUMPHANT ONE. AND YOU HOLD THE KEYS TO DEATH, HELL, AND THE

GRAVE. AND GOD, WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU.

WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. OH, HOW WE WORSHIP YOU.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

OH, HALLELUJAH.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

SOME OF YOU HAD NEEDS TODAY. YOU HAVE NEEDS

TODAY. JUST TELL THEM. YOU'VE ALREADY OBTAINED GRACE. YOU'VE

ALREADY OBTAINED MERCY. YOU'VE ALREADY OBTAINED HELP. YOU JUST

NEED TO COME TO THE THRONE OF GRACE. PRESENT YOUR NEEDS BEFORE

HIM AND THANK HIM. THANK HIM FOR HEALING YOUR BODY. THANK HIM FOR

SOUNDNESS OF MIND AND A BLESSED MEMORY. THANK HIM FOR FREEDOM TO

LIVE FREE FROM SIN. THANK HIM FOR PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION,

LOVE AND FORGIVENESS. THANK HIM FOR JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND HIS

PRESENCE FULL OF GLORY. THANK HIM FOR PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL

YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT GUARDS YOUR HEART AND YOUR MIND. THANK

HIM FOR NO GREATER LOVE THAN THE LOVE THAT HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE

FOR US, HIS FRIENDS. WE THANK YOU. AND NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US

FROM THAT LOVE. NOT DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR

THINGS TO COME. NO PRINCIPALITIES, NO POWERS, NOR

THINGS PRESENT. YOU CAN'T SEPARATE US FROM YOUR LOVE, GOD

AND HOW WE HONOR YOU AND WORSHIP YOU. I WANT US TO STAY

IN THE ATTITUDE OF WORSHIP FOR JUST A MOMENT. WE'RE GOING TO

RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION. I WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED.

THE USHERS ARE GOING TO SERVE YOU, BUT AS THEY DO THIS, I WANT

YOU TO KNOW THIS AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, THERE'S

SOMETHING VERY HOLY ABOUT COMING TO THE TABLE OF THE LORD, COMING

TO THE TABLE OF YOUR KING, BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED

HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY HIS BODY AND BY HIS BLOOD. AND SO MAYBE

YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY OR YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM, YOU'RE LIKE, YOU

KNOW WHAT, I REALLY HAVE SOME NEEDS. AND I FELT AS WE WERE

JUST IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD HERE, YOU NEED TO PRESENT THESE

THINGS BEFORE GOD. AND THEN AS YOU PARTAKE OF HIS BODY AND

BLOOD, YOU NEED TO CLAIM WHAT IS LEGALLY AND RIGHTFULLY YOURS

THROUGH WHAT JESUS PAID FOR. AMEN. LET'S WORSHIP

THE LORD. USHER'S BEGIN TO SERVE THE PEOPLE AND THEN

WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION TOGETHER.

(WORSHIP MUSIC)

YOU CAN BE SEATED. I WAS THINKING OF THE SCRIPTURE THIS

MORNING. APOSTLE PAUL, WE READ 1 CORINTHIANS 11 SO

OFTEN WHEN WE RECEIVE THE LORD'S SUPPER. AND I WAS JUST

HONED IN ON THE PHRASE, EVERY TIME YOU DO THIS, YOU DO SHOW

THE LORD'S DEATH UNTIL HE COMES. NOW THIS GOES ALONG WITH WHAT

PASTOR WAS SAYING, AND WE DO THAT SEVERAL WAYS. YOU KNOW, GOD

ALWAYS PUT PLACEHOLDERS, I LIKE TO CALL IT THAT. HE ALWAYS PUT

PLACEHOLDERS FOR US TO BRING REMEMBRANCE TO CERTAIN THINGS.

IT'S WHY WE HAVE FEAST OFFERINGS AND THE COMMUNION MEAL, IT WAS

TO BE A PLACEHOLDER TO REMIND US ON A REGULAR BASIS THAT WE'RE

CONSCIOUS OF THE LORD'S DEATH AND EVERYTHING HE'S DONE FOR US.

NOW THAT'S TWOFOLD. FIRST OF ALL, YOU KNOW, GOD KNEW THAT

HUMAN HEARTS TEND TO STRAY AWAY, RIGHT? THERE'S A SCRIPTURE IN

THE BIBLE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT SAID, "TURN, O BACKSLIDING

CHILDREN," IT'S IN THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH, BECAUSE HUMAN HEARTS

WILL, AND IT'S NOT THAT, BACKSLIDING ISN'T JUST, HEY, YOU

GO OUT AND GO BACK TO THE WORLD. SOMETIMES IT'S JUST SLIPPING

AWAY FROM REMEMBERING WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US SO THAT WE STAY

CONSCIOUS TO SERVE HIM, RIGHT? IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERY SINGLE

DAY WE ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR GOD AND NOT JUST SERVING OUR

FLESH. AND IT'S EASY, COME ON, WE'RE BUSY. IT'S EASY TO GET

CAUGHT UP IN DOING ALL OF THE THINGS IN THE NATURAL AND

FORGETTING THE SPIRITUAL. SO WE SHOW HIS DEATH IN THAT WAY, THAT

WE'RE CONSCIOUSLY THANKFUL, WE'RE ALWAYS REMINDED THAT WE

NEED TO, WE GET ONE LIFE, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THAT A LOT LATELY,

WE GET ONE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE GOD ON THIS EARTH WHILE WE'RE

ALIVE. AND SO THE COMMUNION MEAL REPRESENTS THAT. AND THEN THE

OTHER WAY WE SHOW THE LORD'S DEATH IS REMEMBER ALL OF THE

BENEFITS HE'S GIVEN US. EVERY TIME PASTOR AND I RECEIVE THE

COMMUNION MEAL, WE'VE DONE IT EVERY DAY NOW. WE'RE DOING IT

EVERY DAY FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO

JOIN US. WE'RE ALSO READING TOGETHER, AND WE'VE DONE THIS IN

THE PAST, BUT WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE BOOK OF PROVERBS. WE

FIGURED, WELL, PROVERBS IS A GREAT WAY TO START THE YEAR OFF

RIGHT. SO WE, ALL OF THE WISDOM THAT'S IN THERE. SO WE'VE BEEN

DOING THAT EVERY DAY. AND YESTERDAY WAS THE SIXTH PROVERB.

TODAY IS THE SEVENTH. BUT YOU SHOW THE LORD'S BENEFITS EVERY

TIME YOU RECEIVE IT. AND I'M REMINDED WHEN THE PROPHETS, THE

SONS OF THE PROPHETS MADE THE SOUP, YOU REMEMBER THAT? AND

THEY THREW A POISONOUS GOURD IN THERE BY ACCIDENT, THEY DIDN'T

KNOW. WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE, FIRST OF ALL, OF THE

FACT THAT JESUS SAID, "IF YOU EAT AND DRINK ANY DEADLY THING,

"IT WILL NOT HURT YOU." AND SO WHEN THE MEAL CAKE WAS THROWN

INTO THE SOUP, THAT POISON WAS NEUTRALIZED. WELL, WHAT DID THAT

REPRESENT? THAT REPRESENTED THE BENEFIT OF JESUS' BROKEN BODY,

THAT WHEN THE MEAL CAKE GOES INTO WHEREVER THERE'S AN ATTACK,

COME ON, ANY POISONS OF THE ENEMY, ANY VENOM OF SATAN, ANY

PLACE THAT GOES IN, THAT NEUTRALIZES THAT. AND SO WE

CLAIM THAT EVERY TIME WE RECEIVE. FIRST OF ALL, WE

REDEDICATE EVERY TIME OUR HEARTS TO THE LORD, GOD HELP KEEP US ON

TRACK, FOLLOWING YOUR WISDOM, LET US SHOW YOUR DEATH VALUE AND

BENEFIT EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR US, JESUS. BE THANKFUL, HOW MANY

OF YOU KNOW THAT'S IMPORTANT? AND THEN WE CLAIM THAT ANYTHING

THAT THE ENEMY WOULD SOW AGAINST OUR LIVES, AGAINST OUR FAMILY,

OUR CHILDREN, OUR CHURCH FAMILY, OUR EMEMBERS, OUR ONLINE FAMILY,

ANYTHING THE DEVIL WOULD TRY TO SOW, WHEN THE MEAL CAKE OF

JESUS' BODY GOES IN, THAT POISON AND THAT VENOM, COME ON, IN

JESUS' NAME IS NEUTRALIZED BY THE POWER OF GOD. SO I WANT YOU

TO TAKE THE BREAD THAT REPRESENTS THE BODY OF JESUS AND

SAY THIS, SAY, NOW I RECEIVE JESUS' BODY AND I DECLARE IN THE

NAME OF THE LORD, ANY VENOM OF THE DEVIL, ANYTHING THAT SATAN

WOULD TRY, THIS BODY OF JESUS NEUTRALIZES ALL POISON. AND NOW

LORD, I THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID FOR ME. I HONOR YOUR DEATH

AS I RECEIVE IT NOW. LET'S RECEIVE TOGETHER. NOW HIS BLOOD,

THIS IS, IF ANYTHING THE ENEMY HAS EVER TRIED TO DO TO YOU TO

CONDEMN YOU, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PERFECT IN THE ROOM?

RAISE YOUR HAND. ANY PERFECT PEOPLE? NONE OF US ARE PERFECT.

THANK GOD WE HAD A SAVIOR THAT SHED HIS BLOOD AND GIVES US

GRACE. THIS IS WHY YOU GIVE GRACE TO OTHER PEOPLE. CAN I

TELL YOU THIS? I BELIEVE ONE OF THE WORST SINS OF THE BODY OF

CHRIST IS STRIFE AND DIVISION. I BELIEVE IT ACCOUNTS FOR MORE

LOSSES. COME ON, LOST FAMILY MEMBERS? YOU THINK ABOUT ANYBODY

THAT YOU LOVE AND KNOW, IF IT WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TALKED TO

THEM, WOULD YOU WANT IT TO BE NASTY, MEAN, AND MEANSPIRITED?

YOU WOULDN'T. AND SO JESUS' BLOOD WAS THE UNIFIER FOR US IN

FAITH. IT REMINDS US THAT WE WERE GIVEN GREAT GRACE. AND SO

WE ARE TO BE, I'M WRITING, I'M FINISHING MY BOOK ON COMMANDING

PEACE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I TALK ABOUT IN THERE IS BEING A

PEACEMAKER. THAT GOD WAS THE FIRST COMMANDER OF PEACE WHEN HE

DECLARED AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR THAT WE CELEBRATE IT. PEACE

ON EARTH, GOODWILL TOWARD MEN. GOD WAS EXTENDING A PEACE TREATY

TO HUMANITY. HE WAS GIVING US A PEACE OFFERING. HE WAS EXTENDING

HIS GRACE. AND SO THEN HE TURNS AROUND AND SAYS, NOW I'M GONNA

GIVE THAT TO YOU, YOU GIVE THAT TO OTHER PEOPLE. SO I WANT YOU

TO HOLD UP WHAT JESUS' BLOOD AND SAY THESE, SAY, SAY LORD.

ANYBODY THAT I'VE HAD OUGHT AGAINST, I FORGIVE THEM. YOU

SHED YOUR BLOOD FOR ME. YOU FORGAVE ME OF GREAT THINGS THAT

I DID AGAINST YOU. AND NOW LORD, I GIVE GRACE TO OTHERS. I

FORGIVE ALL MEN, ALL WOMEN, ANYONE THAT'S HURT ME OR

MISHANDLED ME. I RELEASE THEIR SINS. AND I THANK YOU, LORD.

THAT MEANS I'M FORGIVEN. NOW LET'S PRAY THIS. I FATHER, I ASK

YOU, UNIFY THE BODY OF CHRIST. LET US BE ONE AS JESUS PRAYED,

AS YOU ARE ONE. AND WE THANK YOU FOR THE BLOOD YOU SHED IN JESUS'

NAME. LET'S RECEIVE IT TOGETHER. WELL, I THINK YOU OUGHT TO STAND

THEN. IF YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU PRAYED, AND WE OUGHT TO GIVE

GOD A GREAT BIG HONOR. COME ON, TELL HIM YOU ARE THANKFUL. COME

ON, GIVE HIM A PRAISE HALLELUJAH! GLORY BE TO THE

LORD! NOW, HERE'S WHAT WE'LL DO AS A UNIFIED BODY. LET'S TURN

AROUND AND LOVE ON ONE ANOTHER, HUG SOMEBODY. INTERNET, YOU CAN

GIVE EACH OTHER HUG EMOJIS IN THERE IN THE

COMMENTS. LET'S LOVE ON EACH OTHER AND WE GIVE YOU A GREAT

BIG HUG. IN JESUS' NAME, AS THE BODY OF CHRIST, LET'S

LOVE ON EACH OTHER IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.

AND THEN SOME PEOPLE SAY, "WHY DON'T YOU DO SERVICE ON

CHRISTMAS EVE?" WELL, YES, NEVER SAY NEVER, NEVER SAY NEVER. BUT

A LOT OF CHURCHES DON'T DO THE NEXT THING THAT WE DO, AND THAT,

BECAUSE WE'RE A PROPHETIC HOUSE, NEW YEAR'S EVE IS RIGHT AROUND

THE CORNER. AND I'M TELLING YOU, IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO NEW

YEAR'S EVE, IN FACT, OKAY, I TOLD THE CHURCH ON WEDNESDAY

NIGHT THAT ONE OF MY NEW PASTIMES IS WATCHING PEOPLE WHO

LIVE IN REMOTE VILLAGES. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THINGS ON YOUTUBE.

WATCHING PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN REMOTE VILLAGES IN THE COLDEST

PLACES OF SIBERIA, LIKE OUT THERE WHERE THERE'S NO PLUMBING.

AND THAT FINISHED ME RIGHT THERE. BUT JUST SEEING HOW THEY

COOK AND DO THINGS AND GET ALONG AND ALL OF THAT CRAZY STUFF. BUT

I FOUND IT IN THOSE AREAS, A LOT OF THEM CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AND

NEW YEAR'S ALL AT ONCE BECAUSE IT'S SO COLD THAT TO GET

EVERYBODY TOGETHER, THEY CAN'T DO IT TWICE. SO I THOUGHT, WELL,

YOU KNOW WHAT, BUT HERE'S THE THING. AT LORD OF HOSTS, WE DO

SEPARATE THEM, BUT WE LOVE TO PROPHESY, NOT JUST SEE THE NEW

YEAR COME. WE LOVE TO SPEAK TO IT. WE LOVE TO START IT RIGHT.

WE PRAY OVER EVERYBODY, ANOINTING EVERYBODY WITH OIL.

YOU'LL WALK THIS RED CARPET ALONG HERE AND IT'S GONNA BE

POWERFUL. PASTOR HANK PRAYS EACH TIME, BELIEVE IN GOD, FOR THE

WORD OF THE LORD TO BE SHARED. HE'LL PREACH A LITTLE BIT. AND

WE WILL PRAY OVER ALL THE PRAYER REQUESTS FOR THE BEGINNING OF

THE YEAR. AND IF YOU'VE NOT YET SUBMITTED ONE, GO OUT TO

HANKANDBRENDA.ORG AND HAVE THOSE IN HERE. DON'T DELAY. IF YOU'RE

MAILING 'EM, I'M TELLING YOU, THAT POSTAL SERVICE TAKES

FOREVER. SO YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT IN THE MAIL TOMORROW.

THEY'RE TAKING A LONG TIME. SO IF YOU WANNA MAIL A PRAYER

REQUEST, AND THAT GOES FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE MAILING

OFFERINGS AS WELL, GET THOSE IN QUICKLY, GET THEM OUT, BECAUSE,

MAN, THAT POSTAL SERVICE, WE NEED TO PRAY THAT THEY HAVE A

ZAP OR SOMETHING. BUT ANYWAY, THAT'S ANOTHER TOPIC. TRUTH OF

THE MATTER IS, GET OUT THERE, GET THE PRAYER REQUESTS IN FOR

THAT NIGHT, AND LET'S JUST BELIEVE GOD TOGETHER. HOW MANY

OF YOU ARE GONNA COME TO NEW YEAR'S EVE FULL OF FAITH FOR

SOMETHING FRESH, AMEN? AND SO MANY AMAZING THINGS ARE BEING

PROPHESIED ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR 2026, AND SO BE PART

OF THAT. SEVEN O'CLOCK, WE DO HAVE HOTEL ROOM BLOCKS FOR THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE COMING FROM OUT OF STATE OR OUT OF TOWN. SO YOU

CAN GO OUT TO OUR WEBSITE AT LOHCHURCH.ORG, FIND THE ROOM

BLOCKS THERE AND GET REGISTERED. WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO REGISTER

TO COME TO THE SERVICE, BUT YOU DO NEED TO RESERVE YOUR HOTEL

AND BE PART OF IT. AMEN? ALL RIGHT, CAN WE GET INTO THE

OFFERING THIS MORNING? I'M GONNA PREACH THE FASTEST SUMMARY OF

THE STORY OF THE RICH YOUNG RULER. LET'S LOOK AT LUKE 18, I

WANNA READ THIS TO YOU. SO SEVERAL THINGS I FOUND IN MY

STUDY TIME ABOUT THIS THIS WEEK. VERSE 18 OF LUKE 18, IT SAYS,

"AND A CERTAIN RULER ASKED HIM, SAYING, "'GOOD MASTER, WHAT

SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?' "AND JESUS SAID TO HIM,

'WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD? "'NONE IS GOOD SAVE ONE, THAT IS GOD.

"'YOU KNOW THE COMMANDMENTS. "'DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT

KILL, DO NOT STEAL, "'DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR YOUR

FATHER AND MOTHER.'" PASTOR'S BEEN PREACHING ON ALL OF THESE.

AND HE SAID, "ALL THESE," THIS WAS HIS RESPONSE, "I'VE KEPT

THESE SINCE I WAS A CHILD." NOW, WHEN JESUS HEARD THESE THINGS,

HE SAID TO HIM, "BUT YOU LACK ONE THING. SELL WHAT YOU HAVE

AND DISTRIBUTE TO THE POOR, AND YOU SHALL HAVE TREASURE IN

HEAVEN, AND COME AND FOLLOW ME." AND I HEARD BROTHER COPELAND SAY

AT ONE POINT THAT WHEN HE SAID, "COME FOLLOW ME," HE SAID THAT

TO 12 MEN, "COME FOLLOW ME." AND THERE IS SOME SPECULATION THAT

HE WAS OFFERING HIM A PLACE OF APOSTLESHIP, AND IT WAS THE

REASON HE ASKED HIM TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS

IS THIS MAN WAS SO COMMITTED TO HIS MATERIAL THINGS, HE SAID

WHEN HE HEARD THIS, HE WAS VERY SORROWFUL FOR HE WAS VERY RICH.

NOW WHAT JESUS WAS SAYING, HE WASN'T, THIS IS NOT A TEACHING,

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU THIS. THIS IS NOT A TEACHING THAT GOD DOES NOT

WANT YOU TO HAVE ANY WEALTH AT ALL, OKAY? IF YOU BELIEVE THAT

AND YOU'RE A BUSINESS OWNER, ANY BUSINESS OWNERS IN HERE, ANY

BUSINESS OWNER, WE GOT A LOT OF BUSINESS OWNERS, PEOPLE ONLINE.

IF YOU BELIEVE GOD WANTS YOU POOR AND HE JUST WANTS YOU TO

LIVE WITH A LIMITED AMOUNT, THEN YOU NEED TO BELIEVE FOR YOUR

BUSINESS TO GO BANKRUPT. DON'T TELL THE LORD THAT YOU WANT YOUR

BUSINESS BLESSED AND YOU WANT IT TO PROSPER AND THEN BELIEVE THAT

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE IMPOVERISHED. OKAY, THERE'S NOT

ANY SCRIPTURE THAT TEACHES THAT GOD WANTS US TO BE POOR AND

WITHOUT ANYTHING. OKAY, GOD PROMISED THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE

THAT HE WOULD GIVE PROVISION AND THE PROVISION OF THE LORD, THE

BIBLE SAID HE WILL SUPPLY ALL MY NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN

GLORY. COME ON, NOT WHAT IS STRUGGLING TO GET BY HERE ON

EARTH. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHURCH IS WE'VE SPENT

TOO MUCH TIME THINKING THAT GOD DOESN'T WANT US TO HAVE

ANYTHING. AND SO THEREFORE, GUESS WHAT? WE GET WHAT WE

BELIEVE. OKAY, WHILE THE WORLD IS OUT THERE USING ALL THE MONEY

THEY HAVE FOR THE PURPOSES OF DARKNESS, AND YET WE HAVE THE

LIGHT. AND BELIEVE ME, I LEARNED AFTER WE BUILT THIS TABERNACLE,

IT TAKES MONEY TO DO STUFF, RIGHT? IT TAKES MONEY TO PREACH

THE GOSPEL. I LIKE WHAT PASTOR HANK SAID FOR MANY YEARS. HE

SAID, "YES, THE GOSPEL'S FREE, "BUT IT'LL COST YOU EVERYTHING,

"AND IT COSTS MONEY TO PREACH IT." FACTS, RIGHT? SO THIS MAN,

THE PROBLEM WITH THE RICH YOUNG RULER IS HE HADN'T PRIORITIZED

HIS GIVING. THAT WAS THE ONE AREA OF HIS LIFE. AND I'LL BE

HONEST WITH YOU, I THINK IT'S IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE HUMAN NATURE,

I LOVE WHAT R.T. KENDALL SAID IN HIS BOOK ON TITHING, IT'S ONE OF

MY FAVORITE LINES IN THERE. HE SAID, "THE HUMAN PERSON, THE

CHRISTIAN, "IS LARGELY ALLERGIC TO TITHING." WELL, I'M TELLING

YOU, GOD GIVE YOU AN ANTIHISTAMINE FROM THE BIBLE.

THIS, AMEN, THIS MAN, THIS MAN HAD NOT PRIORITIZED GIVING. HE

HAD DONE ALL THE OTHER THINGS RIGHT, BUT HE LEFT OUT THIS ONE

AREA. AND SO LOOK WHAT JESUS SAID. WELL, PASTOR BRENDA, WAS

HE SUPPOSED TO JUST GIVE IT ALL UP BECAUSE GOD WANTED HIM POOR?

NO, GOD WAS TRYING TO GET AT HIS HEART. OKAY, JESUS KNEW THE

SCRIPTURE. THINK ABOUT THAT, JESUS KNEW. OKAY, WHY DIDN'T HE

STOP THAT WOMAN WITH THE TWO LITTLE MITES THAT GAVE HER LAST

LITTLE BIT INTO THE TREASURY? HE SHOULD HAVE SAID, "OH, YOU POOR

THING, "KEEP THOSE LAST TWO LITTLE COINS "AND GO DOWN TO THE

CONVENIENCE STORE AND GET WHATEVER." HE NEVER SAID THAT.

HE KNOWS THE PRINCIPLE WILL WORK. SHE GAVE HER LAST, COME

ON, JUST LIKE THE WIDOW IN THE OLD TESTAMENT GAVE THE LAST BIT,

SHE TOOK THE LAST BREAD AND CAKE AND GAVE IT TO THE PROPHET.

OKAY, 'CAUSE GOD KNOWS, JESUS KNEW RIGHT HERE THAT THE

PRINCIPLE OF SCRIPTURE WORKS. GOD SAID, IF YOU GIVE, IT'LL BE

GIVEN BACK TO YOU. GOD SAID, IF YOU PRIORITIZE ME, I'LL

PRIORITIZE YOU. OKAY, COME ON, WHATSOEVER A MAN OR WOMAN SOWS,

THEY WILL REAP. IF YOU SOW STINGY, YOU REAP STINGY. IF YOU,

COME ON, 2 CORINTHIANS SAYS IT, CHAPTER 9, WE'VE READ IT A

100,000 TIMES. IT SAYS THAT GOD WILL MAKE YOU THROUGH YOUR

GIVING TO HAVE ALL SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS. AND THEN GOD

SAYS, NOW PROVE ME IF I'LL DO IT. THAT'S A PROBLEM, PEOPLE

HAVE TROUBLE WITH THAT. THEY DON'T WANNA PROVE GOD AND PUT

HIM TO THE TEST WHEN IT SEEMS HARD TO DO IT. CAN I TELL YOU OF

ALL THE TITHES WE'VE EVER TITHED IN 40 YEARS OF SERVING GOD, I

PROMISE YOU A LOT OF THEM WEREN'T CONVENIENT. AM I THE

ONLY ONE? NO, NO, BUT GOD SAID IT WASN'T CONVENIENT FOR THIS

MAN. HE DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP HIS MANSION AND HIS MERCEDES AND

HIS NEW DONKEY AND HIS STUFF. HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT. BUT THEN

LOOK WHAT HAPPENS HERE. I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING. VERSE 24,

"WHEN JESUS SAW THAT HE WAS SORROWFUL, HE SAID, 'HOW HARD IS

IT THAT THEY HAVE RICHES TO ENTER THE KINGDOM?'" OKAY, NOW

THAT WASN'T A COMMAND FOR POVERTY. HE WAS JUST SAYING THAT

PEOPLE GET CAUGHT UP IN MATERIALISM. LOOK HOW MANY

PEOPLE WON THE LOTTERY AND DESTROYED THEMSELVES. GOD'S JUST

SAYING, GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT. IT'S OKAY TO HAVE

FINANCES, YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE THE RIGHT PRIORITY, RIGHT? "FOR

IT'S EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN

A RICH MAN TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD." AND THERE'S A

LOT OF TEACHING ON WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT ALL I KNOW IS I HAVE

A NEEDLE'S LITTLE AND A CAMEL'S BIG. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT

WORKS, BUT HE'S JUST SAYING IT'S DIFFICULT IF YOU'VE ALLOWED THE

LOVE OF MONEY TO HOLD YOU. WHEN THEY HEARD IT, NOW WATCH THIS,

THIS IS THE RESPONSE OF HIS DISCIPLES. WELL, LORD, IF YOU'RE

SAYING RICH PEOPLE CAN'T ENTER THE KINGDOM, HOW THEN CAN

ANYBODY BE SAVED? AND I THOUGHT, THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN

FINANCES. THEY MUST'VE HAD SOME MONEY. AT ONE POINT IN JESUS'

MINISTRY, THEY OFFERED TO GO BUY FOOD FOR THE THOUSANDS. NOW, I

DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD COST TO FEED 5,000 BACK THEN, PLUS WOMEN

AND CHILDREN, BUT 15,000 PEOPLE AT $10 A POP MAYBE TODAY. IN

TODAY'S ECONOMY, I MEAN, YOU COULD GET SOMEBODY A MEAL FOR

MAYBE $5, MAYBE, LET'S JUST SAY $10. I MEAN, YOU GO TO STARBUCKS

AND SPEND 10 BUCKS ON A COFFEE NOW. I WENT THERE AND GOT MYSELF

A PEPPERMINT MOCHA THE OTHER DAY. I WAS EARLY GETTING TO AN

APPOINTMENT 'CAUSE I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE I WAS

GONNA HAVE TO DO AND I DIDN'T. AND I THOUGHT, WELL, I'VE GOT A

MINUTE. I'M GONNA GO GET A PEPPERMINT MOCHA, MY FAVORITE.

AND THAT LADY SAID, "THAT'LL BE $10.34." I'M LIKE, THAT WASN'T

EVEN A VENTI. THAT WAS A MEDIUM. I THOUGHT, DEAR LORD, I

MEAN, COFFEE'S GONE UP. LET'S JUST GET THE OLD KEURIG OUT AND

PULL THE POT. I'M LIKE, AM I GONNA, YOU COULD GO BROKE DOING

THAT STUFF. BUT, OH, LORD JESUS. WELL, HE SAID, "BUT THEN WHO CAN

BE SAVED, LORD? "CAN ANYBODY BE SAVED?" AND HE SAID, "THE THINGS

THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN "ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD." IN

OTHER WORDS, GOD IS SAYING, "IF YOU HAVE FINANCES, IT IS

POSSIBLE. "IF YOU PRIORITIZE THE KINGDOM FIRST, "THEN IT'S

POSSIBLE THAT YOU CAN LIVE IN THE BLESSING WITHOUT MONEY

HAVING YOU." THEN PETER GOES ON TO SAY, "BUT LORD, WE'VE LEFT

EVERYTHING TO FOLLOW YOU." BUT JESUS ENDS IT AND HE SAYS,

"WELL, IF YOU'VE DONE THAT, COME ON, IF YOU DID BETTER THAN THE

RICH YOUNG RULER TO GIVE OF YOUR FINANCES AND PRIORITIZE YOUR

GIVING," HE SAID, "THERE'S NO PERSON ON THIS EARTH THAT GIVES

UP HOUSES AND LANDS AND FATHERS AND MOTHERS FOR MY SAKE, THAT I

WILL NOT WATCH THIS, GIVE IT BACK, NOT ONLY IN HEAVEN," AND

WE ALWAYS THINK WE'RE GONNA GET IT BACK IN HEAVEN ONE DAY. NO,

HE SAID, "I'LL DO IT NOW AND IN THIS LIFETIME."

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

THANKS, PASTOR. ALL RIGHT, WHO WANTS THIS NEW HELP-WANTED BOOK?

WHO WANTS IT? WAIT, WHY ARE YOU POINTING AT HIM? DO YOU WANT

THIS BOOK? YOU'RE FROM TEXAS, I'M NOT GONNA MESS WITH TEXAS.

DO YOU NEED A JOB? YOU NEED A JOB? YOU KNOW SOMEBODY THAT

NEEDS A JOB? DO YOU NEED TO LAUGH? HAND IT TO HIM. ARE YOU A

GREEN BAY PACKERS FAN OR A DALLAS COWBOY?

MY FATHER HAD A PERSONAL FRIEND THAT PLAYED FOR

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS, NAMED LEROY CAFFEY, WHO

PLAYED RIGHT BY RAY NITSCHKE. WOW, RIGHT BY RAY, YEAH. MY DAD

WENT TO TEXAS A&M, AND LEROY CAFFEY PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL

AT TEXAS A&M, AND THEY WERE BUDDIES. WOW. AND HE WENT TO THE

GREEN BAY PACKERS, AND HE AND RAY NITSCHKE. SO YOU HAVE

CONNECTIONS TO GREEN BAY, I FELT THAT WE, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW I WAS,

SO HERE, GIVE THIS TO HIM. SO YOU KNOW I WAS LOOKING AT

SHAPES, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HEXAGONS? HOW

MANY SEEN OCTAGONS? AND THEN I LOOKED AT THE DALLAS COWBOYS

STAR AND I SAW WHAT WAS CALLED A SEASON GONE. SO YOU KNOW, SO

THEY'RE KINDA, THEY'RE ALL KINDA. CHERYL, I'M SO SORRY, I

KNOW. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN,

LISTEN, YOU CAN PICK ON WHATEVER TEAM YOU WANT, INCLUDING THE

PACKERS. I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS KIND OF FUNNY. I SAW THAT. I

KNOW YOU'RE NOT LAUGHING, AND I KNOW YOU'RE NOT, DON'T TURN OFF

THE STREAM BECAUSE I INSULTED YOUR TEAM. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE

GO. THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD. YOU DID? CHERYL, PLEASE, I'M ONLY

TEASING. IT'S ALL GOOD, I MADE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS HERE,

OKAY. ALL RIGHT, OPEN YOUR BIBLES TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 22.

Matthew 22 · chapter mention

AND GOTTA HAVE FUN IN LIFE, RIGHT? GOTTA HAVE FUN IN LIFE.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE FUN. SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO

LAUGH ANYMORE. HOW MANY KNOW SOMEBODY THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW

TO LAUGH? LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR. ASK HIM, SAY, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO

LAUGH? ALL RIGHT. SO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PREACH THIS MESSAGE

FOR A FEW WEEKS, SO WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN GET THERE. ALL RIGHT,

OPEN YOUR BIBLES TO MATTHEW 22, AND I WANT US TO LOOK AT VERSE

35. THIS HAS BEEN KIND OF OUR TEXT, AND WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT

NABOTH'S VINEYARD, BUT REALLY WHAT I'M GONNA TRY TO DO IS

BRING IT DOWN, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, TO WHERE THIS

ISN'T JUST A STORY. THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL OF US. IT'S A

WARNING TO AMERICA, IT'S A WARNING TO OUR CITIES, TO OUR

SCHOOLS, IT'S A WARNING TO OUR PERSONAL LIVES. IT'S LITERALLY

SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT I'M GONNA SHARE WITH YOU

TODAY AND REALIZE THAT THERE IS POWER IN HONOR AND THERE IS

CONSEQUENCES IN DISHONOR. AND THERE ARE EVIL FORCES THAT ARE

TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS INTO YOUR GARDEN, INTO YOUR VINEYARD,

RIGHT? WE'RE GONNA GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF

TIME. WHAT DID THE ENEMY DO? HE WENT INTO A GARDEN, RIGHT? AND

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NABOTH, WE'RE GONNA SEE THAT THAT DEVIL USED A

WOMAN NAMED JEZEBEL TO TRY TO DO THE SAME. SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND

PICK THIS UP. MATTHEW 22:35, "THEN ONE OF THEM, WHICH WAS A

Matthew 22:35

LAWYER, "ASKED JESUS A QUESTION AND TRIED TO TEMPT HIM, "SAYING,

'MASTER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT "'IN THE LAW?'

"JESUS SAID, 'YOU SHOULD LOVE OR HONOR THE LORD YOUR GOD "WITH

ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, "AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'"

AND THEN HE SAYS, "THIS IS THE FIRST "AND IT'S THE GREATEST OF

THE COMMANDMENT "THAT YOU SHOULD LOVE AND YOU SHOULD HONOR GOD."

AND WE TALKED ABOUT THAT LAST WEEK. I'D ENCOURAGE YOU IF YOU

HAVEN'T HEARD IT, GO BACK. IT'LL MAKE YOU HUNGRY, I BELIEVE, FOR

THE LORD. AND THEN HE GOES ON, HE SAYS, NOW HERE'S THE OTHER

COMMANDMENT. "THE SECOND IS LIKE, THOU SHALL LOVE THY

NEIGHBOR "AS THYSELF," AND THEN HE CONTINUES, HE SAYS, "ON THESE

TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." NOW LET'S

SHOW THE GRAPHIC OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT YOU'LL SEE IS YOU CAN DIVIDE THEM INTO TWO PARTS.

SO HE WAS TRYING TO TRAP JESUS, THE LAWYER, BUT JESUS KNEW THAT

IF YOU TAKE THESE 10 COMMANDMENTS, THAT YOU COULD

DIVIDE THEM UP INTO TWO PARTS, LOVING AND HONORING GOD, AND

LOVING AND HONORING OTHERS. AND WHAT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE,

THE LOVING OF GOD IS REALLY, IT MAKES THE CROSS, LOVING GOD,

LOVING OTHERS, BECAUSE LOVING GOD IS YOUR VERTICAL, RIGHT?

THAT BEAM OF THE CROSS THAT IS EXTENDED UNTO GOD. LOVING OTHERS

IS THE EXTENSION OF THAT LOVE. THAT'S THE LOVE OF GOD. IT'S

SHED ABROAD IN YOUR HEART, YOU LOVE GOD. IT SHOULD SPILL OUT IN

EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE TELLS US IN THE

NEW TESTAMENT TO PUT ON CHRIST AND TO PUT OFF THE OLD MAN. IN

OTHER WORDS, WE HAVE A NEW NATURE. AND PART OF THAT NEW

NATURE NEEDS TO BE CHRISTLIKE. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER MET A

CHRISTIAN THAT WASN'T CHRISTLIKE? AND THEN YOU COULD

LOOK AT YOU AND SAY, NOT ME, NOT ME. NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU, LET'S

BE HONEST, AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING WOULD HAVE TO SAY, HEY,

I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM CHRISTLIKE, RIGHT? IN MY

ACTIONS, THE FRUIT, RIGHT? THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT STARTS WITH

LOVE, THEN IT HAS JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS,

SELF-CONTROL. THAT IS THE FRUIT OF OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE. THAT IS

WHAT WE ARE TO PUT ON, EMULATES, WHAT WE'RE TO GROW IN, RIGHT?

THAT'S WHY IT'S THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT. NOW, I WANT YOU TO SEE

THIS BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE COMMANDMENTS MENTION IS

LOVE OR HONOR. MATTHEW 15, VERSE EIGHT, WE'RE GONNA DO JUST A

LITTLE REVIEW IN THIS SENSE. MATTHEW 15, EIGHT IS YOU CAN

HAVE LIP SERVICE ALL DAY LONG. YOU COULD SAY THAT YOU LOVE GOD.

YOU COULD SAY THAT YOU HONOR GOD. YOU MAY THINK YOU HONOR

GOD, BUT IF THERE ISN'T ACTIONS, CORRESPONDING ACTIONS OF YOUR

LIP SERVICE OR YOUR INTENTIONS, RIGHT? I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE

THAT SAY, "WELL, I'M GONNA GET RIGHT WITH GOD." WELL, WHY DON'T

YOU GET RIGHT WITH GOD? "WELL, I'M GONNA GET BACK TO CHURCH."

WELL, GET YOUR BOOTY BACK. IT ISN'T HARD, RIGHT? DON'T LIVE A

LIFE OF LIP SERVICE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE CORRESPONDING ACTION THAT

HAS TO GO DEEP ON THE INSIDE OF YOU. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

NEEDS TO BE DEEP IN YOU. I LOVE YOU, GOD, AND IT IS SETTLED IN

MY HEART, AND IT IS DEEP IN MY HEART, AND I HONOR YOU.

THEREFORE, I HAVE CORRESPONDING ACTION, "BECAUSE IT'S IN MY

HEART." IT'S A BADGE OF HONOR, IT'S A CODE OF CONDUCT. AND THAT

IS MY HONOR TO GOD, AND MY HONOR THAT I TRY TO BRING TO OTHER

PEOPLE. SO JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 15, HE SAID, "LOOK, DON'T GIVE

ME LIP SERVICE. "PEOPLE DRAW NIGH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH.

"THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF TALKING." HOW MANY OF YOU,

AGAIN, ANSWERING MY EARLIER QUESTION, HAVE MET PEOPLE WHO

SAY, "WELL, I'M A CHRISTIAN, "AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT 'EM

GOING, 'REALLY? "THAT'S WHAT A CHRISTIAN LOOKS LIKE?'" HE SAID,

"DON'T DRAW NIGH UNTO ME WITH YOUR MOUTH. "DON'T JUST GIVE ME

LIP SERVICE AND ON WITH YOUR LIPS, "BUT YOUR HEART IS FAR

AWAY." AND ONE OF THE GREATEST WAYS TO CONNECT TO GOD HEART TO

HEART IS THROUGH A LIFE OF HONOR. HONOR WAS THE FIRST SIN

THAT EVER, EVER EXISTED IN THE FORM OF INIQUITY. IT WAS

LUCIFER, WE'VE SAID IT, WHO LITERALLY DISHONORED GOD AND

SAID, "I'M GONNA EXALT MYSELF ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD. "I'M

GONNA EXALT MYSELF EVEN ABOVE GOD. "I'M GONNA DO A COUP DE TA,

"I'M GONNA TAKE OVER THE THRONE." GOD DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO

DO ANYTHING, JUST KIND OF GO, "REALLY?" AND SATAN FELL LIKE

LIGHTNING. YEAH, BUT IT WAS DISHONOR. SO WE HAVE TO WEAR A

BADGE OF HONOR. THAT'S WHY WE LOOKED LAST WEEK WHERE IT SAYS,

"LET MERCY AND TRUTH BE BOUND ABOUT YOUR NECK." IN OTHER

WORDS, HONOR, TRUTH, INTEGRITY. LET IT BE ABOUT YOUR NECK. IN

OTHER WORDS, IT'S YOUR MOVEMENTS, IT'S YOUR DECISIONS,

IT'S YOUR CHOICES. HEY, I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHERS DO. I WANNA

MAKE SURE I DO IT IN HONOR TO GOD, AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT

I'M DOING IT IN INTEGRITY. HOW MANY OF YOU SAY THAT'S WHAT

YOU'RE GONNA DO? NOW, LET'S GO ON, BECAUSE I WANNA SHOW YOU,

LET'S GO BACK INTO THE BOOK OF GENESIS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 15. SO

Genesis 2:15

ONCE THIS SIN OF DISHONOR WAS REALLY IN LUCIFER'S HEART, HE

GOT KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN, HE HAD A VENDETTA AGAINST GOD, HE HAD

AN AGENDA AGAINST GOD, AND THAT WAS HE WAS GOING TO COME AND

LITERALLY UPSET THE APPLE CART. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST FRUIT WAS

SUPPOSED TO BE AN APPLE, SO I WOULD KIND OF USE THAT ANALOGY

THERE AND INCREDIBLE INSIGHT. BUT NO, HE WANTED TO COME AFTER

MAN WHO WAS CREATED IN GOD'S IMAGE. YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING TO

ME AS I'M WRITING THIS BOOK, "BECOMING A FRIEND OF GOD"

NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE DOES IT SAY THAT GOD CALLED AN ANGEL

HIS FRIEND. BUT HE DID CALL HIS PEOPLE HIS FRIENDS. AND WE ARE

THE ONES WHO ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, RIGHT?

NOT ANGELS, WE ARE. SO LUCIFER WAS VERY UPSET. SATAN WAS MAD.

SO NOW HE GOES TO THE GARDEN AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU

THOUGH, BEFORE HE SHOWS UP, LOOK AT WHAT GOD SAYS TO

ADAM. AND IT WAS HIS INSTRUCTION AND IT HAD TO DO WITH HONOR. IN

GENESIS 2, VERSE 15, NOTICE WHAT GOD SAYS. AND THE LORD GOD TOOK

Genesis 2:15

THE MAN AND PUT HIM INTO THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO DRESS IT AND

TO KEEP IT. NOW THAT WORD DRESS MEANS TO TOIL, MEANS YOU GOTTA

WORK, RIGHT? HE THAT DOESN'T WORK DOESN'T EAT, RIGHT? AND IT

MEANS TO LABOR, AND TO KEEP IT MEANS TO BEWARE OF AN ENEMY. SO

GOD WAS ALREADY SAYING, ADAM, LISTEN, I'VE PUT YOU AS A

STEWARD OVER THIS GARDEN. I'VE PUT YOU AS A STEWARD, AND AS

LONG AS YOU DRESS IT, YOU WORSHIP, YOU WORK AND YOU'RE

AWARE OF AN ENEMY AND YOU DON'T LET DISHONOR COME IN, IT'S GONNA

BE OKAY WITH YOU. NOW LET'S LOOK AT THAT VERSE AGAIN AS THEY PUT

IT UP ON THE SCREEN AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. NOW LET'S

PUT YOUR NAME THERE. AND THE LORD GOD TOOK BOB, HI BOB, BOB

AND PUT HIM IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA. THE LORD GOD PUT WALLY AND MARY

AND PUT THEM TOGETHER IN MARRIAGE. THE LORD GOD PUT YOU

IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA. WHEREVER YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY, GOD PUT

YOU IN THAT NATION, IN THAT CITY. YOU WERE PLACED IN A

GARDEN. YOU WERE PLACED IN A PLACE SO THAT YOU DON'T JUST

ALLOW THE ENEMY TO HAVE ACCESS. THE PROBLEM WITH OUR COUNTRY,

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IS GOD PUT THE NAME AND THE HONOR

OF HIS SON HERE BECAUSE MEN WHO CAME HERE AND FOUNDED THIS

NATION HAD A COVENANT WITH GOD, DEDICATED THIS NATION, DEDICATED

THIS LAND TO HIM. AND THEY WROTE MUCH OF OUR CONSTITUTION BASED

ON SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES AND SCRIPTURES. BUT THE ENEMY HAS

BEEN TRYING TO COME INTO OUR NATION. WE ARE LIKE ADAM, WE ARE

STEWARDS OVER IT. AND WE HAVE TO START WATCHING WHAT THE ENEMY IS

TRYING TO DO TO GAIN ACCESS. WE SAW IT THROUGH WOKE. WE SAW IT

THROUGH TRANSGENDER, MUTILATION AGENDA. WE SAW IT WHEN THEY WERE

PERVERTING THE RAINBOW. WE SAW IT WITH BLM. WE SAW IT WITH

COVID. WE SAW THINGS COMING AND INFILTRATING ITSELF IN OUR

NATION. MARXISM, SOCIALISM, EVEN ISLAM IS ON THE RISE. I MEAN,

IT'S AMAZING TO ME THAT CHRISTIANS ARE IGNORANT OVER

ISLAM. THAT THEY SOMEHOW ALL, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? FIRST OF

ALL, I'VE HEARD CHRISTIANS SAY THAT. IN FACT, THERE ARE

PREACHERS THAT BELIEVE IN CHRISLAM, WHICH MEANS IT'S ALL

THE SAME GOD. NO, GOD MADE IT VERY CLEAR. HE IS THE FATHER,

SON, AND HOLY GHOST. ISLAM DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY

OF GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF JOHN THAT IF YOU DENY

THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD THEN YOU'RE

IN ERROR, YOU'RE FALSE. ISLAM DOESN'T BELIEVE

THAT JESUS CHRIST IS PART OF THE TRINITY, THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN

THAT. AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE ONE TRUE LIVING

GOD, THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF GOD, THE SACRIFICE LAMB OF GOD.

GALATIANS 1 VERSE 8 SAYS, "IF AN ANGEL COMES AND PREACHES TO YOU

Galatians 1:8

ANOTHER GOSPEL THAN WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD AND WHAT I'VE TAUGHT,

LET THEM BE A CURSE." YOU WONDER WHY ISLAM HAS BROUGHT SUCH A

CURSE TO THE EARTH. BECAUSE WHEN MUHAMMAD IN 610 AD WAS IN A

CAVE, AN ANGEL CALLED GABRIEL, WHICH WAS AN ANGEL MASQUERADING

LIKE AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. IT WAS NOT GABRIEL, IT WAS A DEMON

ENTERED INTO THE CAVE. AND IT'S WRITTEN IN THE QURAN, AND IT'S

WRITTEN IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE

REVELATIONS OF MUHAMMAD, THAT HE HAD CONVULSIONS. FOAMED AT THE

MOUTH WHEN HE WAS RECEIVING THESE REVELATIONS. IT'S AMAZING,

IF YOU GO TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION, AND YOU LOOK AT

THOSE WHO WOULD NOT TAKE THE MARK, WHO WOULD NOT BOW TO ANY

OTHER ENTITY, BUT WOULD MAINTAIN THEIR HONOR TO JESUS CHRIST, THE

LAMB OF GOD. THOSE, IT SAYS IN THE LAST DAYS, WILL BE BEHEADED.

WHAT ENTITY ON THE EARTH IS BEHEADING PEOPLE OVER THEIR

FAITH, ESPECIALLY THEIR CHRISTIAN FAITH? WE HAVE VERY

POWERFUL EVIL SPIRITS MASQUERADING AS REPUBLICANS, AS

LIBERALS, BUT SOCIALISTS, AND WE HAVE VERY POWERFUL EVIL SPIRITS

THROUGH FALSE RELIGION. THIS IS WHY I GET CONCERNED IN AMERICA

WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT CANDIDATES THAT DO NOT HAVE THE

JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES OF OUR NATION. AND THEY SAY, "WELL,

I'M GONNA VOTE FOR THEM. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT."

SOLOMON LOST HIS KINGDOM OVER FALSE GODS. GOD ALLOWED HIS

PRESENCE IN A BOX, THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, TO GO INTO THE

HOUSE OF DAGON, WHICH WAS THE PHILISTINE FISH GOD. AND WHEN

THEY BROUGHT THE GLORY OF GOD INTO THEIR TEMPLE NEXT TO THEIR

IDOL, IT ISN'T THIS COEXISTING. WELL, LET'S PUT A MOSQUE NEXT TO

A SYNAGOGUE NEXT TO AN EVANGELICAL CHURCH NEXT TO,

LISTEN, IN THE NAME OF HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS, BUT NOT IN

THE NAME OF EQUALITY, NOT IN THE NAME OF THE SAME GOD. AND THE

PHILISTINE GOD, FISH HEAD, WHICH LITTLE CATHOLIC LITTLE HELMET,

THAT'S WHERE THEY GET IT, OR IT ORIGINATED FROM NIMROD IN

BABYLON, ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. DAGON FELL.

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

AND HIS ARMS AND HIS LEGS WERE CHOPPED OFF, JUST

LIKE JEZEBEL. SAME SPIRIT. AND WE'VE GOT PEOPLE

TODAY, WELL, CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG AS THE SAME GOD? YEAH,

WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE. YOU CAN WORSHIP WHOEVER YOU WANT BEHIND

CLOSED DOORS, BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM WHEN YOUR BOOK, YOUR

QURAN, WE SAY, "WELL, IT'S RADICAL ISLAM." OH, THAT'S THE

PROBLEM. NO, NO, NO. IF YOU FOLLOW THE QURAN, IF YOU'RE A

JEW OR YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE AN INFIDEL. AND THEY'RE

INSTRUCTED TO TAKE YOU OUT. WE'VE GOT THIS CREEPING INTO OUR

COUNTRY. IT'S CREEPING IN THE EARTH. OH, YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?

LOOK AT EUROPE. LOOK AT AUSTRALIA. IN FACT, JANUARY

25TH, WE HAVE ANDREW SEDGWICK COMING, WHO CAN TELL YOU HE GREW

UP CONVERTED FROM ISLAM. WE ARE SEEING VERY POWERFUL FORCES

COMING IN TO OUR SACRED GARDEN, OUR SACRED COMMUNITIES. WE SAW

THE INFILTRATION OF THINGS COMING INTO OUR SCHOOLS. AND

YET, WHERE WAS PARENTS? THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS BEING

PRESENTED, SEWED LIKE SNAKES, SLITHERING LIKE SNAKES, AND THEN

THEY'RE HAVING TO WATCH SNAKES GET UP WITH SOME DUDE IN A WIG,

WITH A BEARD, WITH HAIRY LEGS AND A DRESS, READ TO THE KIDS.

HI, MY NAME'S MARSHA, AND I WANNA READ TO YOU A STORY. AND

PARENTS WERE SITTING HERE WATCHING THIS SNAKE INFILTRATE

THE GARDEN OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR CHILDREN, AND THEY SAID

NOTHING. WE WATCHED OPEN BORDERS. WE WATCHED IN THE LAST

ELECTION, THE LIBERAL LOONY LEFTISTS YELLING AND SCREAMING

AT THEIR CONVENTION, EVEN PERFORMING ABORTIONS OUTSIDE OF

THE CONVENTION. AND PEOPLE, CHRISTIANS, VOTED FOR THEM.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, GOD HAS PLACED YOU IN THE

GREATEST NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. AND YOU ARE TO

STEWARD OVER THIS COUNTRY. TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL, I'M NOT

HERE TO GET ON ANYBODY, BUT I GOT A REAL PROBLEM. KANSAS CITY

CHIEFS, THEY HAVE CHRISTIAN OWNERS. AND OH, IT WAS

PROPHESIED, WHEN THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WIN THE SUPER BOWL,

AMERICA'S IN REVIVAL. WELL, YOU BETTER LOOK AT KANSAS CITY

CHIEFS. THEY'RE NOT HAVING A WINNING SEASON BECAUSE YOU KNOW

WHAT? THEY PARADE TAYLOR SWIFT AND WHAT SHE STANDS FOR, THEY

WERE KNEELING AT THE FLAG AND DISHONORING IT, SINGING OTHER

NATIONAL ANTHEMS, AND CHRISTIANS STOOD BACK AND DID NOTHING, SAY

NOTHING. AND THE SNAKE COMES THROUGH. HALFTIME AT THE NFL,

SUPER BOWL, A SNAKE IS GONNA HAVE THE HALFTIME SHOW.

SOMEWHERE WE BETTER SPEAK UP, WAKE UP, AND START STEWARDING

OVER WHAT IS GOD GIVEN TO US OR IT WILL BE TAKEN FROM US.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

NEW YORK CITY, PREACHERS, PREACHERS. LETTING THE ISLAMIC

MAYOR BEFORE HE WAS MAYOR COME AND LITERALLY HAVE A PLACE

BEHIND THEIR PULPIT. EVANGELICALS, LETTING CANDIDATES

WHO SUPPORT ABORTION THAT VIOLATE THESE

COMMANDMENTS AND LET THEM HAVE A VOICE. HADES, NO,

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED BEHIND MY PULPIT.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

I'M NOT LETTING SNAKES IN THE CHURCH. I'M

NOT LETTING THEM IN MY COMMUNITY. WHEN THIS MAYOR

WHO SAID HE WAS GONNA BE THE MOST INCLUSIVE

MAYOR, HE'S BEEN BEHAVING HIMSELF. I WROTE HIM A NICE,

VERY PROFESSIONAL LETTER AND LET HIM KNOW THAT I'LL KEEP IT

BETWEEN ME AND HIM. BUT I'M WATCHING AND I WON'T BE QUIET.

AND NEITHER ARE YOU TO BE QUIET. NEITHER ARE YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING. WE ARE IN A BATTLE OVER THE VINEYARD AND THE GARDEN

OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR UNIVERSITIES, OUR CHILDREN, OUR

ENTERTAINMENT. THAT'S WHY I DON'T GO RUNNING DOWN TO DISNEY.

I'M SICK OF THEIR PEDOPHILIA. I'M SICK OF THEIR PERVERSION.

THEY'VE ALLOWED SNAKES TO ENTERTAIN YOUR CHILDREN. AND YOU

GO TO THEIR RESORTS, AND YOU SPEND MONEY BECAUSE YOU WANT TO

BE ENTERTAINED, BUT YOU WON'T STEWARD OVER THE GARDEN. IN

HONOR. AND THE REASON WE ARE WHERE WE'RE AT IN OUR COUNTRY,

IN OUR SCHOOLS, IN OUR POLITICS, IS BECAUSE WE KEEP VOTING THESE

PEOPLE IN. OR THEY STEAL IT AS SNAKES. AND THEN IF WE SAY

SOMETHING, THEY CENSOR US, THEY PUT OUR FACES LIKE THEY DID MINE

ALL OVER THE NEWS. I COULD GIVE A ROYAL RATS RUMP. I AM NOT

GONNA BE QUIET AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU. IF YOU DON'T STEWARD

OVER YOUR GARDEN AND KEEP THE SNAKE OUT, THINK ABOUT ONE ACT,

GENESIS CHAPTER 3, LOOK AT THIS. GOD BEGINS TO SPEAK AND I WANT

Genesis 3 · chapter mention

US TO LOOK AT, LET'S LOOK AT GENESIS 3:16-17. AND THE LORD

Genesis 3:16–17

COMMANDED THE MAN. THIS WASN'T A SUGGESTION. THIS WAS A COMMAND

OF EVERY TREE IN THIS GARDEN. YOU CAN FREELY EAT. YOU CAN HAVE

LIBERTY, RIGHT? AMERICA, YOU CAN HAVE LIBERTY. YOU CAN ENJOY

LIBERTY. BUT THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT YOU CANNOT DISOBEY

GOD. PEOPLE ARE TALKING RED WAVE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, AND I

HEARD GOD. I WAS IN WALNUT, IOWA, WHERE GOD GAVE ME THAT

WATER PUMP. YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT YOU, THE HANDLE? AND HE

SAID, "I WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE MIDTERMS." HE'S SPOKEN SOME

THINGS. ONE OF THE THINGS HE SAID, HANK, PEOPLE WANT A RED

WAVE. BUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THOSE WHO VOTE CONSERVATIVE

NEED TO START DRAWING A RED LINE. OKAY, QUIT TRYING TO

ENTERTAIN THE PROGRESSIVES, REPUBLICANS, SO THAT NOW YOU

BECOME MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. YOU DRIVE DOWN, YOU ASK THIS MAN IN

TEXAS, YOU DRIVE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TEXAS, AND GUESS

WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE? YOU'RE GONNA SEE ROADKILL. THE MIDDLE

OF THE ROAD IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE. THAT'S

WHY JESUS SAID IF YOU'RE LUKEWARM, I'M GONNA VOMIT. WE

GOTTA QUIT THIS, WELL, LET'S JUST TRY TO ENTERTAIN SO, YOU

KNOW, WE'LL JUST KINDA REDEFINE THINGS. WE'LL GET LOOSE WHEN IT

COMES TO ABORTION ISSUES. WE'LL GET LOOSE WHEN IT COMES TO

TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE. WE'LL GET LOOSE WHEN IT COMES TO THE

BORDERS. YOU KNOW WHY THE BORDERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHUT?

BECAUSE IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ACCESS OF THE ENEMY INTO THE

GARDENS OR THE VINEYARDS OF OUR LIFE JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 7,

"WIDE IS THE ROAD OR THE BORDERS THAT ARE OPEN." IT'LL ALWAYS

LEAD TO DESTRUCTION. BUT NARROW IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO LIFE.

AND WHEN YOU JUST OPEN UP EVERYTHING, YOU'RE GONNA BRING A

BUNCH OF SNAKES IN AND THEY'RE GONNA START DESTROYING YOUR

COUNTRY. OKAY, LOOK AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN DC. TWO OF OUR

SERVICE PEOPLE, ONE MURDERED BECAUSE WE LET SNAKES IN. OUR

JOB IS TO PUT OUR FOOT ON THE SNAKES AND CAST THEM OUT. AND

CHRISTIANS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO START GETTING BOLDER. YOU'RE

GONNA START HAVING TO HAVE A VOICE, BE A VOICE. YOU'RE GONNA

START HAVING TO BE MORE INVOLVED. WE WANT A RED WAVE, WE

WANT GOD'S BLESSING. BLESSED IS THE NATION, WHO THE LORD IS

THEIR GOD. THAT'S ALL ABOUT HONOR. YOU HONOR GOD, HE'LL

BRING AN HONORABLE NATION. BUT IF YOU START COMPROMISING, WE

START COMPROMISING, AND LET THE ENEMY IN, WELL, YOU CAN ALREADY

SEE WHAT THE FRUIT OF IT IS. JESUS SAID DESTRUCTION. HE SAID

OF EVERY TREE IN THE GARDEN, YOU CAN FREELY EAT. BUT OF THE FRUIT

OF THE TREE, WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, GOD SAID

THERE'S ONE TREE, THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

THOU SHALL NOT, SEE, THAT'S THE COMMANDMENTS. THOU SHALL NOT,

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT THE THOU SHALL NOTS, THEY ARE THOU

SHALL HONOR GOD. THEREFORE, I DON'T WANT TO STEAL. I DON'T

WANT TO MURDER. I WANT TO HONOR GOD AND HAVE NO IDOLS, NO

SUBSTITUTES. I WOULD NEVER, EVER THINK ABOUT TAKING THE MAJESTIC,

MIGHTY NAME OF GOD IN VAIN. I HAVE A MARRIAGE COVENANT. I WILL

NOT VIOLATE IT. I HONOR GOD. I HONOR MY WIFE. I HONOR MY

MARRIAGE COVENANT. IT'S NOT THAT THOU NOT, IT'S THAT THOU SHALL.

I'M A MAN OF HONOR. YOU'RE A WOMAN OF HONOR. YOU'RE A PERSON

OF HONOR. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S ABOUT. BUT NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS.

SO GOD GIVES HIM THIS COMMAND, RIGHT? BUT GO BACK UP TO VERSE

ONE OF GENESIS THREE AND WATCH HOW SNAKES, RIGHT, OPEN BORDERS.

OKAY, WE'RE ALL FOR IMMIGRATION. JUST DON'T COME IN THE SNAKE

WAY. DON'T COME IN THE SLIMY WAY. AND DON'T RELEASE YOUR

VENOM. THANK YOU, I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY

LEAVE YET, SO THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S A RECORD, MAN. THOSE OF

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, USUALLY I HAVE PEOPLE THAT LEAVE ABOUT

THIS TIME AT THE MESSAGE. THANK YOU. BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT

YOU'VE HEARD DO REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THIS CHURCH, THIS

PULPIT, AND THIS VESSEL. ALL RIGHT, NOW, NOW, THE SERPENT WAS

MORE SUBTLE THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD. THAT'S WHAT CHUCK

SCHUMER IS. HE'S SUBTLE. SHIFTY SHIFT. AND NANCY PELOSI. I MEAN,

THESE PEOPLE, THEY'RE JUST SO EVIL. THEY'RE JUST SO EVIL. I'VE

NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE SO EVIL. THEY'RE EVIL.

THEY'RE EVIL PEOPLE. THEY'RE NASTY. AND HE SAID IT

TO THE WOMAN. AND HE SAID IT TO THE WOMAN.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

GO BACK AND READ, I'M JUST PICKING ON THE LADIES.

OH, MY WIFE SAID, WATCH IT. GO BACK TO VERSE ONE,

I BETTER WATCH IT. OKAY, AND HE SAID TO THE

WOMAN, NOT MANY OF YOU IN HERE, ANYBODY THAT WAS A

WOMAN THAT WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN, OKAY, ANYWAY.

GOD SAID, "YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN." DID

GOD REALLY SAY? SO THE ENEMY ALWAYS GETS YOU TO, RIGHT, ALTER

YOUR STANDARD OF HONOR. DID GOD REALLY SAY THAT, IS THERE LITTLE

KIDS IN HERE? INTERCOURSE IS ONLY FOR MARRIAGE. DID GOD

REALLY SAY THAT? I LOVE THIS PERSON, AND SO WE'RE LIVING

TOGETHER TO TEST IT. IT'S CALLED FOR AN OCCASION. AND IT'S SIN.

AND IF YOU'RE IN MARRIAGE AND YOU DECIDE TO INTERCOURSE WITH

SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT YOUR, IT'S CALLED ADULT 'CAUSE YOU'RE

SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE ADULT, THINK LIKE AN ADULT. IN FACT,

THE BOOK OF PROVERBS, I WAS READING IT YESTERDAY, SAID WHEN

IT COMES TO ADULTERY, "A PERSON WHO COMMITS ADULTERY LACKS

UNDERSTANDING "AND LITERALLY WILL REAP DESTRUCTION TO THEIR

SOUL." YOUR SOUL IS YOUR MIND, WILL, AND YOUR EMOTIONS. I KNOW

PEOPLE THAT NEVER RECOVER. DON'T EVER THINK ABOUT IT, DON'T EVER

DO IT. AND IF YOU HAVE, REPENT, MOVE ON, AND DON'T EVER DO IT

AGAIN. AND GOD SAID, SEE, HE ALWAYS CHALLENGES. DID JESUS

REALLY SAY THAT IN THE PICTURE? SO HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO ALTER

GOD'S WORD, BUT HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO ALTER THE WORD JESUS,

RIGHT? THAT'S LIKE THESE, YOU KNOW, HE GETS IT COMMERCIALS.

YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE BECAUSE I'M YOUR LORD AND I

GET YOU. I GET YOU, I GET YOU, I GET YOU. YOU SILLY BOY LOVING

ANOTHER MAN, I GET YOU. YOU WHO ARE INSTRUCTING LITTLE KIDS THAT

ARE 8 AND 9 YEARS OLD TO MUTILATE THEMSELVES AND CHANGE

THEIR GENDER, I GET YOU, I GET YOU, I GET YOU. I'VE MET JESUS,

AND THAT AIN'T IT. LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "THAT AIN'T

IT." THAT AIN'T IT. THAT AIN'T IT. JESUS, I'VE MET YOU AND THAT

AIN'T IT. OKAY, NOW, SHALL WE GO ON?

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

LOOK AT VERSE 2. AND THE WOMAN SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, WE

CAN EAT OF EVERY FRUIT OF THE TREES OF THE GARDEN. QUIT

TALKING TO THE DEVIL. QUIT TALKING TO THE DEMON-CRATS.

THE RHINOS, PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU KNOW A LOT

OF THEM ARE FULL OF THE DEVIL. SHE SAID, "WE MAY EAT OF THE

FRUIT OF THE TREES "OF THE GARDEN," VERSE 3, "BUT OF THE

FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS IN THE MIDST "OF THE GARDEN," GOD

SAID, "YOU SHALL NOT EAT IT, "'CAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU'RE GONNA

DIE." LOOK AT THE DEVIL. VERSE 4, COMES ALONG AND THE DEVIL

SAYS, "AH, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH

MIKE WALTZ AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND KACKEL AND

HAMAS, HARRIS. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. YOU NEED A

BLACK WOMAN PRESIDENT. NOT HER. THAT AIN'T IT EITHER. SAY THAT

AIN'T IT EITHER. SHE MIGHT RUN AGAIN. REALLY? THAT AIN'T IT.

PEOPLE GO CHASING RIGHT AFTER THAT SERPENT AGENDA AND THEY PUT

A LITTLE CHECK MARK NEXT TO THE BOX. I WON'T VOTE FOR THIS GUY.

THERE'S 41 INDICTMENTS AGAINST HIM AND I CAN'T VOTE FOR HIM. HE

NEEDS TO BE IN A JUMPSUIT. AND ALL THOSE 41 INDICTMENTS, YOU'VE

NOTICED, THEY'RE ALL GETTING THROWN OUT. NOW

ALL THIS ELECTION FRAUD STUFF IS COMING OUT. AND

MIKE LINDELL, BY THE WAY, IS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.

(CONGREGATION CHEERING)

WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I DON'T KNOW, HOW MANY

REMEMBER ONE OF THE FLASHPOINTS, GOD CALLED HIM

OUT IN PROPHESY AND SAID, "THERE'S A HIGHER SEAT

OF AUTHORITY "THAT THE LORD WAS GONNA DEAL WITH HIM

ABOUT." SO I'M NOT PREDICTING, I'M NOT PROPHESYING. IF I HAVE

SOMETHING TO SAY, I'LL CALL HIM. BUT I'M JUST SAYING, I THOUGHT

IT WAS VERY INTERESTING THAT THE LORD PROPHESIED, THAT'S MY POINT

OF THAT POINT OF MY POINT OF MY POINT, ALL RIGHT.

DON'T LET THE DEVIL IN YOUR HOME, THROUGH YOUR TV,

THROUGH YOUR CONVERSATIONS. DON'T ALLOW STRIFE TO COME INTO

YOUR HOME, YOUR MARRIAGE. DON'T ALLOW REBELLION WITH YOUR KIDS.

DON'T ALLOW, YOU KNOW, PARENTS TO JUST SHOVE YOUR KIDS IN FRONT

OF YOUTUBE AND XBOX AND LIVESTREAM AND LET THAT BE

WHAT'S ENTERTAINING THEM. NO, YOU NEED TO SET STANDARDS OVER

YOUR CHILDREN. WELL, WHAT IF THEY REBEL? HMM, IT'S CALLED

DISCIPLINE. WELL, I'VE TRIED. KEEP DOING IT. THE PROBLEM IS WE

DON'T HAVE STANDARDS ANYMORE. YOU GO TO GROCERY STORES,

ANOTHER KID IS KNOCKING DOWN ALL THE STUFF IN THE CANDY AISLE. I

WANT THIS, I WANT THAT. OKAY. YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID? YOU AIN'T

GETTING THAT, YOU BETTER PUT THAT BACK OR I'M GOING TO PICK

YOU RIGHT UP OUT OF THAT CART. I SAID IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, I'M

GOING TO PICK YOUR BUTT RIGHT OUT OF THIS CART AND I'M GOING

TO HAUL YOU TO THE CAR AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE DAD

SPANKING. NOT THE DAD SPANKING. THAT'S WHAT I SAID, NOW PUT THAT

THING BACK. YES, DADDY. ANYWAY, LET'S JUST MOVE ON, ALL RIGHT.

LOOK AT DEUTERONOMY 30, VERSE 19. SEE, SOMETIMES, I GOTTA GET

Deuteronomy 30:19

GOING, MAN. I'M NEVER GONNA GET TO NABOTH'S VINEYARD. I CALL

HEAVEN AND EARTH TO RECORD THIS DAY AGAINST YOU THAT I'VE SET

BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING. NOW, WE

OFTEN THINK ABOUT THIS, LIFE AND DEATH. DO YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY

HONOR OR DISHONOR? AMEN. WHICH LIFE? A LIFE OF HONOR IS LIFE.

DISHONOR ALWAYS LEADS TO DESTRUCTION, CHAOS, DEATH. YES.

AND GOD SAYS, I'VE GIVEN YOU A CHOICE, LIFE OR DEATH, BLESSING

OR HONOR. SO HERE'S THE THING, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU THE ANSWER,

CHOOSE HONOR, CHOOSE A LIFE OF HONOR. LOOK AT 1 THESSALONIANS

CHAPTER FOUR, VERSE FOUR. "FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW

TO POSSESS YOUR VESSEL IN SANCTIFICATION AND HONOR." THIS

SHOULDN'T BE HARD TO FIGURE OUT. SHOULDN'T BE HARD TO KNOW WHO TO

VOTE FOR. SHOULDN'T BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DIFFERENT

RELIGIONS ARE AND HOW THEY'RE TRYING TO INFILTRATE OUR

COUNTRY. RIGHT? SHOULDN'T BE HARD. THE BIBLE IS FULL OF

EXAMPLES OF THOSE WHO HAD A CHOICE TO HONOR OR DISHONOR.

THINK ABOUT ADAM AND EVE, THEY HAD A CHOICE. CAIN AND ABEL,

CAIN CHOSE DISHONOR, MURDERED HIS BROTHER. ISAAC AND ISHMAEL,

THAT WHOLE SCENARIO, RIGHT? WE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE THE PROBLEM

THAT WE'RE HAVING IF ABRAHAM WOULDN'T HAVE DISHONORED AND

WENT AND DECIDED TO HELP GOD OUT BY SLEEPING WITH HAGAR, HIS

SERVANT. YOU LOOK AT NOAH, HE WAS A MAN OF HONOR AND HE WAS

AGAINST THE WHOLE WORLD. EVERYBODY'S AGAINST ME. YEAH,

YOU NEVER HAD THE WHOLE WORLD AGAINST YOU. AND HE MAINTAINED

HONOR, SO COULD YOU. EVERYBODY'S DOING IT, SO THEY MISSED THE

BOAT, EVERYBODY THAT WAS DOING IT. SO, I DON'T CARE, I'M NOT

MISSING THE BOAT. I'M GONNA LIVE AN ARK, A LIFE OF HONOR. LET'S

GO ON, LET'S TALK ABOUT NABOTH'S VINEYARD. WE'RE FINALLY GONNA

GET THERE. THIS IS A LONG ONE. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT 1 KINGS

1 Kings 21 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 21. NOW, I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS STORY. THINK ABOUT IT,

WE JUST SHOWED YOU THE SERPENT GETTING INTO THE GARDEN. I JUST

SHOWED YOU HOW HE GAINED ACCESS. LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR

COUNTRY. LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR COUNTRY. OKAY, EVERY

TIME WE VOTE, WHETHER IT'S REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT OR IN

BETWEEN, A LUNKHEAD, AN IDIOT, A SNAKE, INTO OUR SEATS OF

GOVERNMENT, NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL IT IS, WE ARE GIVING THEM

ACCESS. WE NEED TO BE SMARTER. THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO GET OUT

AND VOTE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THEY HAD THIS SPECIAL ELECTION

DOWN IN TENNESSEE AND THIS LADY WAS, I ONLY KNEW THIS FROM

FLASHPOINT, WAS SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS

THAT SHE HATED ABOUT TENNESSEE AND SHE WAS GONNA DO TO REFORM.

AND THE REPUBLICAN VOTER TURNOUT WAS STILL LOWER THAN WHAT IT

SHOULD HAVE BEEN. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT PEOPLE KNOWING WHAT SHE

STOOD FOR AND WHAT SHE WAS SAYING AND WHAT SHE WAS

CAMPAIGNING, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD RECORD NUMBERS. OKAY, OUR LAST

MAYOR ELECTION, PEOPLE STAYED HOME BECAUSE OF THE POTHOLES.

YOU WERE STEWARDING MORE OVER THE ROADS THAN YOU WERE THE ROAD

THAT EITHER LEADS TO HONOR OR DISHONOR IN THE CULTURE, IN THE

GOVERNING, IN LEGISLATION, THE FUNCTIONING OF YOUR CITY, OMAHA,

AND YOU CHOSE THE ROADS. YOU PICKED THE WRONG ONE. LET'S

READ. NOW THERE WAS A MAN NAMED NABOTH FROM JEZREEL WHO OWNED A

VINEYARD IN JEZREEL. COME ON, EVERY ONE OF YOU OWN A VINEYARD.

EVERY ONE OF YOU, YOU'RE MARRIED, YOU HAVE A FAMILY, YOU

HAVE KIDS, THAT'S YOUR VINEYARD. IF YOU'RE SINGLE, THAT'S YOUR

VINEYARD, YOUR LIFE, RIGHT? YOU LIVE IN A CERTAIN CITY, THAT'S

YOUR VINEYARD. YOU LIVE IN A CERTAIN COMMUNITY, THAT'S YOUR

VINEYARD. YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER THERE WAS SOME PEOPLE THAT LIVED

RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THEY

WERE, OH MAN, THEY WERE FILTHY. I MEAN, JUST NASTY. AND JUST

MORALLY, AND THEY WERE NOT SHY ABOUT IT. AND I WOULD WALK MY

GERMAN SHEPHERDS BY THEM AND THEY WERE NASTY. AND I WAS JUST

GETTING TIRED OF IT. AND I SAID TO MYSELF, HANK, WHY HAVE YOU

NOT PRAYED ABOUT THIS? THIS IS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU SHOULD

NOT HAVE TO WALK YOUR SHEPS BY THIS HOUSE AND PUT UP WITH THAT

GARBAGE. AND I THOUGHT, HMM. SO ONE DAY I DECIDED TO PRAY AND I

REBUKED IT. AND I SAID, I COMMAND THAT PERVERTED DEVIL AND

THOSE DEMONS TO GET OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I TAKE AUTHORITY

OVER IT. AND I SAY, GOD, GET THEM OUT OF HERE. SOON AS I SAID

THAT, I HEARD, SCREAMS AND I LOOKED UP, AND I'M TELLING YOU,

GOD IS MY WITNESS. THERE WAS THIS DEMONIC WINGED CREATURE

THAT FLEW OFF OF THEIR ROOF AND LANDED IN A PINE TREE, RIGHT

WHERE I WAS STANDING, AND ONE OF MY DOGS LOOKED UP AT IT. AND I

LOOKED AT IT AND I SAID, HELL NO. YOU GET OUT OF MY FACE. I

CAST YOU OUT. I COMMAND THAT HOUSE TO SELL. I CAST YOU OUT

NOW IN THE NAME OF YESHUA. AND THAT THING WENT, AH, OR HOWEVER

IT DID, AND IT LEFT. I WENT AND TOLD BRENDA, I SAID, MAN, I JUST

HAD A DEVIL UP HERE. BUT I SAID, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT HOUSE IS

GONNA SELL. WHAT WAS IT, WITHIN 30 DAYS? THAT HOUSE WAS UP FOR

SALE. YOU ARE IN A GARDEN. NABOTH WAS IN A GARDEN. HE WAS

IN A VINEYARD, AND HE WAS BESIDE THE PLACE OF A KING, AHAB OF

SAMARIA. I'M JUST GONNA READ IT OUT OF MY OWN. OKAY, NOW LET'S

GO ON. AND AHAB SAID TO NABOTH, "GIVE ME YOUR GRAPE FIELD. "I

WANT IT FOR A VEGETABLE GARDEN BECAUSE IT'S NEAR MY HOUSE."

OKAY, WHAT'S NEAR YOUR HOUSE THAT THE ENEMY'S WANTING? WHAT

DOES HE WANT OF YOUR HOUSE? HE SAYS, "I'LL GIVE YOU A BETTER

FIELD, "OR I'LL PAY FOR IT WITH MONEY IF YOU LIKE." BUT NABOTH

SAID UNTO AHAB, "MAY THE LORD KEEP ME "FROM GIVING YOU WHAT

I'VE RECEIVED FROM MY FATHERS." COME ON, THERE'S AN INHERITANCE.

THERE'S AN INHERITANCE IN OUR COUNTRY. SOME OF YOU, YOU MAY

NOT KNOW IT, BUT SOMEBODY IN YOUR BLOODLINE MAY HAVE SERVED

THE LORD. AND IT'S THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO

CARRY THE RIGHTEOUS SEED ON. DON'T SAY YOU'RE THE BLACK SHEEP

OF THE FAMILY. NO, YOU'RE THE LOYAL SHEEP OF THE FAMILY.

YOU'RE THE RIGHTEOUS SEED OF THE FAMILY. BUT NABOTH SAID TO AHAB

MAY THE LORD KEEP ME FROM GIVING YOU WHAT I'VE

RECEIVED FROM MY FATHER. SOME OF US NEED TO SAY, NO, YOU CAN'T

HAVE IT. YOU CAN'T HAVE AMERICA. YOU CAN'T HAVE OUR CHURCHES. YOU

CAN'T HAVE OUR KIDS. OKAY, FIVE CLAPS, THANK YOU. I'M REALLY

INFLUENCING YOU. AHAB WENT INTO HIS HOUSE SAD AND ANGRY. WHAT A

WUSS. BECAUSE OF NABOTH, THE JEZREELITE SAYING, I WILL NOT

GIVE YOU WHAT I RECEIVED FROM MY FATHERS. COME ON, WHAT HAS GOD

ENTRUSTED TO US? WHAT HAS GOD ENTRUSTED TO YOU? DON'T LET THE

DEVIL IN YOUR MARRIAGE. GOD GAVE ME MY WIFE. GOD GAVE HER ME.

WE'RE NOT LETTING THE ENEMY COME IN. AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU. AND

AHAB LAID DOWN ON HIS BED, TURNED HIS FACE AWAY AND HE

COULDN'T EAT. OH, POOR THING. AND HIS WIFE JEZEBEL CAME TO HIM

AND SAID, "WHY IS YOUR SPIRIT SO TROUBLED THAT YOU'RE NOT EATING

FOOD?" AND HILLARY SAID TO BILL, BILL SAID, "WELL, BECAUSE I

SPOKE TO NABAL, THE JESSUP LOT, "GIVE ME YOUR GRAPES FOR MONEY.

"I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER FIELD IF YOU LIKE." AND HILLARY SAID,

"BILL, DON'T YOU RULE OVER AMERICA?" OH, SORRY, I WAS

READING OUT A NEW AMERICAN VERSION.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

GET UP, EAT FOOD, LET YOUR HEART BE FILLED WITH JOY BECAUSE I,

JEZEBEL, WILL GIVE YOU THE GREAT FIELD OF NABOTH THE JEZREELITE.

SO HERE'S WHAT SHE DID. SOMETHING LIKE THAT ME TOO

MOVEMENT THAT WAS COMING OUT. AND WROTE LETTERS IN AHAB'S NAME

AND PUT A MARK ON 'EM. AND SHE SENT LETTERS TO THE LEADERS.

REMEMBER ALL THOSE LETTERS THAT WERE APPEARING? AND THE KING'S

SON WHO WAS LIVING IN NABOTH IN THE CITY, SHE WROTE IN THE

LETTER SAYING, "TELL THE PEOPLE THAT IT'S TIME THAT THEY SHOULD

NOT EAT "AND PUT NABOTH IN FRONT OF THE PEOPLE." SAID, "TWO MEN,

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF TWO, THREE WITNESSES, "LET EVERY WORD BE

ESTABLISHED AND HAVE THEM LIE, "HAVE THEM SPEAK, MAKE UP

ACCUSATIONS, "SO THEY'LL TAKE THEM OUT AND KILL STONES."

THAT'S WHY WHEN THEY WERE PUTTING PRESIDENT TRUMP THROUGH

ALL OF THAT, SOME CHRISTIANS AND AMERICANS COULDN'T SEE THAT IT

WAS THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL TRYING TO GO AFTER THE VINEYARD OF OUR

NATION AND PEOPLE BID ON IT. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM. HE'S AN

ADULTERER. BUT THEY VOTED FOR CLINTON. WHEN HE SAID, "IT ALL

DEPENDS ON WHAT THE DEFINITION OF IS IS. I DID NOT HAVE

RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN. JUST EVERYTHING ELSE." TWO MEN OF NO

WORTH. SEE, THEY ALWAYS PICK THESE PEOPLE OF NO WORTH. WHERE

DO THEY GET SOME OF THESE ELECTED OFFICIALS? THEY DON'T

WASH THEIR HAIR. "OKAY, QUIT MAKING FUN OF ME. WE'RE GOING TO

TALK ABOUT SOCIALISM, OKAY?" WHERE DID YOU COME FROM? "I

COULD BE A GREAT PRESIDENT AND NONE OF US WILL BATHE, OKAY?

LOOK AT ME. WE SAVED THE WATER." TWO MEN OF NO WORTH CAME IN AND

SAT BESIDE, "ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS?"

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

"HAVEN'T HAD ANYBODY LEAVE YET. THIS IS A RECORD." WHERE WAS I?

OH, THESE MEN SPOKE AGAINST NABOTH IN FRONT OF THE PEOPLE

SAYING, "NABOTH SPOKE AGAINST GOD AND THE KING." SO THEY TOOK

HIM OUT AND KILLED HIM WITH STONES AND SENT THE NEWS TO

HILLARY AND JEZEBEL, NABOTH HAS BEEN KILLED WITH STONES, HE'S

DEAD. WHEN JEZEBEL HEARD THAT NABOTH HAD BEEN KILLED WITH

STONES, SHE SAID, "BILLY, GET UP, TAKE AMERICA." AND WHEN AHAB

HEARD THAT NABOTH WAS DEAD, HE WENT DOWN AND TOOK FOR HIS OWN

GREAT FIELD. NOW, LET'S KEEP READING. BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED

TO NABOTH? SO THE PROPHET GETS A WORD FROM GOD. GOD SEES WHAT'S

GOING ON. THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO GROW. WHEN IS SOMETHING GONNA

HAPPEN? EXCUSE ME, THE PROPHETS HAVE BEEN PROPHESYING WHAT GOD

HAS SAID. BELIEVE THE PROPHETS AND YOU'LL PROSPER. SO THE WORD

OF THE LORD COMES TO THE PROPHET, ELIJAH, THE TISHBITE,

AND SAYS, "GO DOWN TO SAMARIA, "MEET AHAB, KING OF ISRAEL. HE'S

IN NABOTH'S FIELD. HE'S GONE DOWN TO TAKE IT FOR HIS OWN AND

YOU WILL SPEAK TO HIM AND SAY THESE WORDS. YOU HAVE KILLED AND

TAKEN AWAY AND YOU WILL SPEAK TO HIM SAYING, THIS IS WHAT THE

LORD SAYS. THE DOGS, BECAUSE YOU DISHONOR, WILL DRINK YOUR BLOOD

IN THE PLACE WHERE THE DOGS DRANK THE BLOOD OF NABOTH." WOW.

AND HE TELLS THEM WHY. AND AHAB SAID TO ELIJAH, "HAVE YOU FOUND

ME? "OH, YOU WHO HATE ME." AND ELIJAH, THE PROPHET SAID, "YEAH,

I FOUND YOU. "BECAUSE YOU'VE SOLD YOURSELF TO DO WHAT IS

DISHONORABLE "OR SINFUL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD." NOW LOOK AT

WHAT AHAB DOES. "THERE WAS NO ONE WHO SOLD HIMSELF," VERSE 25,

"TO DO WHAT WAS SINFUL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD "LIKE AHAB DID.

"HIS WIFE JEZEBEL MOVED HIM TO DO IT. "HE DID WHAT WAS HATED BY

FOLLOWING FALSE GODS." COME ON, AMERICA, LISTEN. "HE DID ALL

THAT THE AMORITES HAD DONE, "WHOM THE LORD DROVE OUT IN

FRONT OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. "WHEN AHAB HEARD THESE WORDS, HE

TORE HIS CLOTHES, "AND HE DRESSED IN CLOTH MADE FROM HAIR

AND WOULD NOT EAT, "AND HE LAY DRESSED IN A CLOTH FROM HAIR

"AND WENT ABOUT EVERY DAY SAD. "AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME

TO ELIJAH. "DO YOU SEE HOW AHAB HAS GOTTEN RID OF HIS PRIDE

BEFORE ME? "BECAUSE HE'S GOTTEN RID OF HIS PRIDE, "I WILL NOT

BRING TROUBLE TO HIM WHILE HE'S ALIVE, "BUT I'LL BRING TROUBLE

UPON HIS HOUSE IN HIS SON'S DAY." NOW STOP, SOME PEOPLE

THINK THAT, LET'S LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM THOUGH. WHAT

HAPPENED TO HIM? LOOK AT FIRST, YOU GOTTA GO OVER TO THE NEXT

CHAPTER. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S A FALSE PROPHECY. NO, IT MEANS HIS

REPENTANCE WAS SHALLOW. RIGHT, WHY DID GOD HAVE TO SEND PROPHET

JONAH TO NINEVEH A SECOND TIME? AND YOU KNOW, SO WELL, YOU

CALLED OUT THE KANSAS CITY, NO, I CALLED OUT THE FACT THAT I'M

CONCERNED IF THEM WINNING THE SUPER BOWL WAS CONNECTED TO

REVIVAL, AND NOW I'M WATCHING THEM WITH A LOSING RECORD, AND

I'M WATCHING SOME OF THE COMPROMISES OF SIN AND THINGS

THAT THEY'VE ALLOWED INTO THEIR GARDEN THAT HAS AFFECTED THIS

COUNTRY AND ITS MINDSET. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN AMERICA. WE ARE

GIVING A WINDOW OF GRACE HERE. I BELIEVE THAT HE MIGHT HAVE

STARTED OFF REPENTANT, BUT IT'S THE SAME THING THAT PEOPLE DO.

OH, I REPENTED. WELL, REPENTANCE ISN'T A ONETIME THING. THE BIBLE

SAYS SOW TO YOURSELVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS. IT'S A DAILY

DECISION. TAKE UP YOUR CROSS. I BELIEVE THAT SOMEWHERE HE MIGHT

HAVE REPENTED OF PRIDE, BUT SOMEWHERE IT WAS SHALLOW. HE

DIDN'T FULLY INTEND IT, 'CAUSE LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

VERSES 34 THROUGH 35, 1 KINGS 22, "AND A CERTAIN MAN DREW A

BOW OF VENTURE, "SMOTE THE KING BETWEEN THE JOINTS OF THE

HARNESS, "AND THE DRIVER OF THE CHARIOT TURNED HIS HAND, "AND HE

SAID, 'CARRY ME OUT OF THE HOST, FOR I'M WOUNDED.' "THE KING

DID." HE SAID THAT, "AND THE BATTLE INCREASED THAT DAY, "AND

THE KING WAS STAYED UP AGAINST THE CHARIOT, "AGAINST THE

SYRIANS, AND HE DIED, "AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF THE WOUND." LOOK AT

VERSE 37, "THE KING DIED AND WAS BROUGHT TO SAMARIA." AND THERE'S

A WHOLE THEOLOGICAL THING THERE. "AND ONE WASHED THE CHARIOT IN

THE POOL OF SAMARIA, "AND THE DOGS LICKED UP HIS BLOOD, "JUST

AS IT WAS PROPHESIED." NOW, WHAT ABOUT HIS WIFE? "HIS WIFE,

BECAUSE YOU'VE MADE ME ANGRY." THIS IS GOD SPEAKING. "AND YOU

MADE ISRAEL SIN." SEE, I WOULD NOT MESS WITH A LIFE OF DISHONOR

AGAINST GOD. "THE DOGS WILL EAT JEZEBEL IN THE LAND OF JEZREEL,

AND THE DOGS WILL EAT ANYONE BELONGING TO AHAB WHO DIES IN

THE CITY. THE BIRDS OF THE AIR WILL EAT ANYTHING BELONGING TO

AHAB WHO DIES IN THE FIELD." WELL, WE KNOW THAT'S EXACTLY

WHAT HAPPENED. BUT WHY? WHY? BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID IS, THEY

OPERATED IN THE SPIRIT OF THE SERPENT OF THE GARDEN. AND THIS

IS WHY I GET SO MAD AT POLITICS. THEY CALL ME RIGHT WING, BUT

REALLY WHAT I AM IS I'M RIGHT KINGDOM. IF A REPUBLICAN, A

DEMOCRAT, A MODERATE, IF YOU VIOLATE OR YOU'RE GONNA ALLOW

THINGS IN OUR COUNTRY, IN OUR VINEYARD, THAT VIOLATE THIS OR

HURTS THE CULTURE, HURTS THE KIDS, IS IMMORAL, I'M GONNA

SPEAK UP. AND GOD WILL SIDE WITH YOU. BUT WHEN WE HAVE PEOPLE

THAT COOPERATE LIKE JEZEBEL WITH DEMONS, IT BEGINS TO AFFECT

OTHERS. BUT GOD SENT A PROPHET AND SAID, I'M NOT DOING, THIS

ISN'T GONNA HAPPEN ANYMORE. NOW LET'S GO TO GENESIS 19. I WANNA

WRAP THIS UP. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN AT LEAST START HEADING THAT

WAY, BUT IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT. GENESIS 19, I JUST WANNA

SHIFT. I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO RE-PREACH THIS, 'CAUSE I FEEL

THE ANOINTING ON ME, AND I WANNA GET THROUGH IT. AND IF YOU HAVE

TO GO, NOBODY WILL THINK THAT YOU'RE LEAVING, 'CAUSE I, YOU

CAN LEAVE NOW IF YOU WANNA LEAVE, IF YOU HAVE TO LEAVE. SO

IF YOU'RE UPSET AT MY MESSAGE, YOU CAN LEAVE NOW AND ACT LIKE

IT'S THAT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. ALL

RIGHT, GENESIS 19, WATCH THIS. "BEHOLD NOW," THIS IS LOT, HOW

MANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE LAST DAYS THAT JESUS

SAID, "THE DAYS OF LOT, THE DAYS OF NOAH." LOOK AT LOT, HE WAS

WILLING TO NOT BE A STEWARD OVER HIS GARDEN OR HIS VINEYARD, AND

HE WAS WILLING TO SHOVE HIS DAUGHTERS OUT TO THE GAY MEN OF

THE CITY. COME ON, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DOING THE SAME THING?

THEY SHOVE THEIR KIDS OFF TO SCHOOL, THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S

BEING TAUGHT, NO CLUE WHO THAT LIBERAL TEACHER IS THAT'S

INDOCTRINATING THEM, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE BOOK CLUB READING

THAT THEY HAVE TO WRITE, RIGHT? WHAT THEY'RE CELEBRATING AROUND

HALLOWEEN. NO, THAT'S ANOTHER THING. OH, LET'S JUST HAVE A

HARVEST PARTY. LET'S DO A REPLACEMENT FOR HALLOWEEN SO

THAT WE CAN GIVE OUR KIDS CANDY. WE CAN GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY

TO DRESS UP. NO, NO, NO, NO, YOU'RE LETTING SATAN COME INTO

YOUR GARDEN. THERE'S PLENTY OF THINGS AND TIMES THROUGHOUT THE

YEAR WHERE YOU CAN SATURATE YOUR KIDS WITH CANDY. RIGHT? NOW I

HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, THIS IS LOT, WHICH ARE VIRGINS. AND I PRAY

YOU, BRING THEM OUT UNTO YOU, AND HE SAYS, I PRAY YOU, I'LL

BRING THEM OUT TO YOU. AND I WAS, I WON'T STEWARD OVER MY

GARDEN. I WON'T STEWARD OVER MY KIDS. I'LL JUST LET MY KIDS DO

ANYTHING, LIKE ANYTHING, WATCH ANYTHING, RIGHT? GET ANY KIND OF

TOY THEY WANT, HAVE ANY KIND OF FRIEND THEY WANT, BE WHATEVER

THEY WANT. ONLY UNTO THESE MEN DO NOTHING, FOR THEREFORE CAME

THEY UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ROOF. NOW LOOK AT VERSE NINE,

THIS IS INTERESTING. AND THEY SAID, "STAND BACK," AND THEY

SAID AGAIN, "THE ONE FELLOW CAME IN TO SOJOURN "AND HE WILL NEEDS

TO BE JUDGED." BUT HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. AS SOON AS HE STARTS

SHOVING HIS DAUGHTERS OUT THE DOOR, I'LL JUST PARAPHRASE IT,

THE ANGELS THAT SHOWED UP, THE MEN, THE BIBLE CALLS THEM MEN,

BUT THEY'RE ANGELS, GRABBED LOT AND KEPT HIM FROM LETTING THE

SNAKES INTO HIS HOME. COME ON, WHEN YOU ARGUE IN MARRIAGE, WHEN

WE DON'T HANDLE OUR FINANCES RIGHT, WE DON'T STEWARD OVER OUR

MOUTHS, OUR ATTITUDES, OUR RELATIONSHIPS, IT'S ALL ACCESS

FOR THE ENEMY. NOW LOOK AT WHAT GOD SAID ABOUT ABRAHAM, GENESIS

18. YOU JUST SAW WHAT LOT WAS GETTING READY TO DO WITH

DISHONOR. AND LOT SAID UNTO THEM, "OH, NOT SO MY LORD." IN

GENESIS 18:19. "BEHOLD NOW, MY SERVANT HAS FOUND GRACE IN MY

Genesis 18:19

SIGHT." SO GOD'S SPEAKING ABOUT ABRAHAM. "MAGNIFIED THY MERCY,

"WHICH THOU HAS SHOWED ME IN THE SAVING." "I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S

THE RIGHT ONE. GENESIS 18. 18:19. YEAH, YOU GOT GENESIS 19.

GENESIS 18:19. SORRY ABOUT THAT. GENESIS 18:19.

Genesis 18:19 Genesis 18:19

HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS. IN GENESIS 18:19. NOTICE WHAT QUALIFIED

Genesis 18:19

ABRAHAM TO LITERALLY, HE LIVED A LIFE OF HONOR WHERE GOD

LITERALLY PROTECTED HIM. GENESIS 18:19, FOR I KNOW ABRAHAM THAT

Genesis 18:19

HE WILL COMMAND HIS CHILDREN OH, THAT'S STEWARDING OVER HIS

GARDEN. "AND HE WILL EVEN STEWARD OVER HIS HOUSE." THAT'S

HIS GARDEN, THAT'S HIS VINEYARD. "AFTER HIM, AND HE SHALL ALSO

HONOR MOST OF ALL GOD." COME ON, HOW MUCH OF GOD DO YOU HAVE IN

YOUR HOME? JOSHUA 24:15 IS A STATEMENT, IT WAS A BANNER. "AS

Joshua 24:15

FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE'RE GONNA SERVE THE LORD." "THE JEWS WOULD

PUT A MITZVAH OUTSIDE THEIR DOOR "THAT HAD SCRIPTURES WRITTEN

OVER IT "THAT THEY WERE TO LIVE BY "WAS THE STANDARD OVER THEIR

HOME." THAT'S WHY EVERY DAY, BREN AND I WERE TAKING COMMUNION

IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. WE'RE DECLARING A STANDARD OVER OUR

HOME. YOU NEED TO DO THE SAME. THE ENEMY CANNOT AND IS NOT

ALLOWED TO ACCESS YOUR HOME. NOT YOUR CHILDREN, NOT YOUR

MARRIAGE, NOT YOUR BODY, NOT YOUR VEHICLES, NOTHING. SO

NOTICE IS BECAUSE HE HAD A STANDARD, HE HAD HONOR THAT GOD

BLESSED HIM. NOW I WANNA SHOW YOU IN CLOSING, GENESIS 9. I

WANT YOU TO SEE THIS, HOW HONOR AND DISHONOR CAN AFFECT NATIONS

FOR YEARS TO COME. IN GENESIS 9, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT VERSE 20.

AND NOAH BEGAN TO BE A FARMER AND HE PLANTED A WHAT? A

VINEYARD, HE PLANTED A GARDEN, OKAY? SO NOW LET'S GO BACK UP TO

VERSE 18. "AND THE SONS OF NOAH WENT FORTH OUT OF THE ARK." NOW

NOTICE WHO WAS WITH NOAH, HIS SONS, SHEM, HAM, AND JAPHETH.

HAM IS THE FATHER OF CANAAN. SO HAM IS THE FATHER OF THE

CANAANITES, WHO WAS ISRAEL'S ENEMIES, THE CANAANITES. AND

THESE ARE THE 3 SONS OF NOAH. AND THEM WAS THE WHOLE EARTH'S

OVERSPREAD. AND NOAH BEGAN TO BE A FARMER. HE BEGAN TO PLANT A

GARDEN, A VINEYARD. AND HE DRANK OF THE WINE AND WAS DRUNK, AND

HE WAS UNCOVERED WITHIN HIS TENT. SO HE WAS COMPLETELY

NAKED. AND HAM, THE FATHER OF CANAAN, THE CANAANITES, SAW THE

NAKEDNESS OF HIS FATHER. NOW, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS

WAS NOT JUST A GLIMPSE. THIS WAS NOT JUST A GAZE, OKAY? AND HE

SAW THE NAKEDNESS. HE SAW, KEEP READING, VERSE 23. IT SAYS, "AND

HE TOLD HIS TWO BRETHREN, "AND SHEM AND JAPHETH TOOK A GARMENT

"AND LAID IT UPON THEIR SHOULDERS "AND WENT BACKWARDS

AND COVERED THE NAKEDNESS." NOW, WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS

THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS WORD IN THE HEBREW, SAW THE

NAKEDNESS, IT'S NOT JUST TO, OH, HE'S NAKED, DON'T LOOK, ETHEL.

IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE. IT LITERALLY MEANS TO SEE WITH

SEXUAL ENTICEMENT. IT ALSO MEANS THE WORD UNCOVER, IT RELATES TO

A SEXUAL VIOLATION. MANY THEOLOGIANS SAY THIS WAS THE

FIRST HOMOSEXUAL ACT THAT TOOK PLACE. SO HE LOOKED AT HIM, HIS

NAKEDNESS, AND THERE WAS AN ENGAGEMENT OF A HOMOSEXUAL ACT.

IT WASN'T JUST, HEY, I SAW HIM, AND I WENT AND TOLD HIM. NO, YOU

WENT, YOU PARTICIPATED, BECAUSE LOOK, IT SAYS, "WHEN NOAH

AWOKE," VERSE 24, "HE KNEW WHAT HAM, HIS YOUNGER SON, "OR HIS

YOUNGEST SON HAD DONE TO HIM, "AND SAID, 'CURSED BE YOUR KID,

CANAAN.'" WHO DID ISRAEL CONTEND WITH THE WHOLE TIME? IF HE, HOW

WOULD HE WAKE UP AND KNOW THAT IT WAS JUST A LOOK AND SAW HIM

NAKED? NO, THERE WAS SOME KIND OF POSSIBLY PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OR

SOMETHING THAT BORE WITNESS THAT HE WAS VIOLATED. I DON'T THINK

IF IT WAS JUST A, OH, I SAW HIM NAKED, THAT THERE WOULD BE THIS

SEVERITY OF WHAT I'M GONNA SHOW YOU. IT WAS, AND I'M GONNA SHOW

YOU WHAT WAS CONNECTED TO THAT SIN OF DISHONOR OF

HOMOSEXUALITY. AND SOME THEOLOGIANS SAY IT WASN'T JUST

HAM THAT PARTICIPATED, BUT ALSO HIS GRANDSON. THEY WERE PART OF

THE ACT. OR, HAM DID IT, BUT HIS KIDS PAID FOR IT. LET'S GO ON, I

WANNA SHOW YOU NOW, LOOK HERE. ONE SIN, LOOK AT GENESIS 10.

OKAY, WAIT A MINUTE, LET'S LOOK AT GENESIS 9, GO BACK UP. VERSE

23, OKAY, NO, LET'S GO BACK TO VERSE 21. I GOTTA GET DONE. AND

HE DRANK THE WINE, NOAH, AND WAS DRUNK, AND HE WAS UNCOVERED

WITHIN HIS TENT. AND HAM, THE FATHER OF CANAAN, SAW IT WAS

SEXUAL ENTICEMENT, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS. THERE WAS A SEXUAL

VIOLATION THAT TOOK PLACE. AND TOLD HIS TWO BRETHREN. AND SHEM

AND JAPHETH TOOK A GARMENT AND LAID IT UPON THEIR SHOULDERS.

AND BOY, I WISH I HAD TIME TO TEACH YOU WHAT THAT GARMENT WAS

THROUGHOUT HISTORY. AND WENT BACKWARDS AND COVERED THE

NAKEDNESS OF THEIR FATHER AND THEIR FACES WERE BACKWARDS AND

THEY DIDN'T SEE, THEY DIDN'T LOOK ON, THEY DIDN'T PARTAKE OF

THEIR FATHER'S NAKEDNESS. NOAH AWOKE, VERSE 24, AND KNEW, HE

KNEW, THERE WAS EVIDENCE WHAT HIS YOUNGER SON HAD DONE 'CAUSE

OF DISHONOR AND SAID, "CURSED BE THE CANAANITES. "A SERVANT OF

SERVANTS SHALL HE BE UNTO HIS BRETHREN." BUT NOTICE THE TWO,

THE TWO THAT WALKED IN HONOR. NOTICE HOW IT HAS AFFECTED

GENERATIONS. IT'S AFFECTED CITIES, EVEN JERUSALEM, EVEN

ISRAEL. IT SAYS, "BLESSED BE THE GOD OF SHEM." WHO'S SHEM? DOES

ANYBODY KNOW WHO SHEM IS? ISRAEL. THAT ACT OF HONOR IS WHY

WE CAN PRAY THE BLESSINGS OF GOD UPON JERUSALEM, UPON ISRAEL,

BECAUSE OF WHAT HE SOWED IN HONOR. IT CARRIED A BLESSING FOR

GENERATIONS. THAT'S WHY HOW YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE, HOW YOU CHOOSE

TO BE MARRIED, AND HOW YOU ARE IN YOUR MARRIAGE TO ONE ANOTHER,

HOW YOU RAISE YOUR KIDS, WHO YOU ARE AS A CHRISTIAN DOESN'T JUST

AFFECT YOU. HOW YOU VOTE DOESN'T JUST AFFECT YOU. LOOK AT

JAPHETH, JAPHETH WAS THE OTHER ONE. JAPHETH, I'LL ENLARGE, YOU

KNOW, JAPHETH, THE HISTORY OF THAT IS UP IN THE RUSSIAN, ALL

OF EUROPE. HOW GOD DID THIS, NOW WATCH THIS. GENESIS 10, VERSE 1.

Genesis 10:1

NOW THE SONS OF NOAH ARE SHEM, HAM, AND JAPHETH. NOW LET'S LOOK

AT THE SONS. LOOK AT THIS CURSE THAT WAS FROM DISHONOR. LOOK AT

HOW MUCH DISHONOR OF LUCIFER, HOW THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN

AFFECTED GENERATION AFTER GENERATION, AFTER GENERATION,

AFTER GENERATION. LOOK AT THE DISHONOR IN THE GARDEN. I'M NOT

STEWARDING. HAD TO HAVE GOD HIMSELF COME AS AN INNOCENT MAN

TO SOW A LIFE OF HONOR, TO SAVE MAN AND REDEEM US. LOOK HERE,

VERSE 6, "AND THE SONS OF HAM," LOOK AT WHO THE SONS OF HAM ARE,

"CUSH, MIZRAIM, FOOT, AND CANAAN." NOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO

UNDERSTAND ABOUT THESE GUYS, FIRST OF ALL, LOOK AT THE FIRST

ONE, CUSH. GO DOWN TO VERSE 8. "CUSH BEGAN, BEGAT NIMROD." THIS

IS THE FATHER OF ALL FALSE RELIGIONS. HE'S ALSO STARTED THE

TOWER OF BABEL. HE WAS THE FIRST FREEMASON. COME ON, WHERE DO YOU

GET FREEMASON? MASON, OKAY? FROM THIS MAN, FALSE RELIGION, ISLAM,

ALL OF THIS WAS ROOTED IN NIMROD. AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN

VERSE 9, HE WAS A MIGHTY HUNTER BEFORE THE LORD. REALLY,

THE ORIGINAL HEBREW IS AGAINST THE LORD. HE SET HIMSELF WITH

HIS FALSE WORSHIP, HIS IDOLS, HIS REBELLION AGAINST GOD, HE

SET HIS FACE AGAINST GOD TO HUNT AGAINST THE LORD. ANYTHING THAT

WAS RIGHTEOUS, ANYTHING THAT WAS GOOD, HE WAS THE SNAKE IN THE

EARTH THAT WAS TRYING TO GIVE THESE DEMONS ACCESS. THIS IS

WHY, STEWARD OVER YOUR LIFE, STEWARD OVER YOUR MIND. DON'T

LET JUST THOUGHTS GO IN YOUR HEAD. STEWARD OVER YOUR MOUTH,

STEWARD OVER YOUR EMOTIONS, STEWARD OVER YOUR ACTIONS. OKAY,

LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE. AND VERSE 10, "IN THE BEGINNING OF THE

KINGDOM WAS BABEL." SO THAT WAS CUSH. NOW LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE,

MIZRAIM. AND MIZRAIM, OKAY, LOOK AT WHO HE BEGAT. GO UP TO VERSE

14. AND YOU SEE, "CASALIM, OUT OF WHOM CAME PHILISTINE." OH,

THE PHILISTINES CAME OUT OF MIZRAIM, ANOTHER ONE OF ISRAEL'S

ENEMIES. AND THEY WERE ALSO PART OF EGYPT. WHAT DID ISRAEL HAVE

TO FIGHT AGAINST? PHARAOH AND THE EGYPTIANS. OFF OF ONE SINFUL

ACT THAT WAS ROOTED IN DEEP, DEEP PERVERSION. THAT DISHONOR,

JUST LIKE LUCIFER IN THE GARDEN, PASSED DOWN FOR GENERATIONS. NOW

LOOK AT THIS ONE, WHAT ABOUT CANAAN? I WAS GONNA MENTION

FOOT, BUT I DON'T WANNA PUT MY FOOT THERE YET. BUT LOOK AT

VERSE 15, "AND CANAAN BEGAT SIDON." NOW, IF YOU DON'T

BELIEVE, YOU JUST THINK, OH, WELL, HE JUST LOOKED AT HIM AND

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, PASTOR HANK, AND HE'S JUST MAKING IT UP,

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. LOOK AT VERSE 19. "AND THE

BORDERS OF THE CANAANITES," BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF WHAT

CANAAN BEGAT SIDON. NOW WATCH THIS. "AND THE BORDERS OF THE

CANAANITES FROM SIDON, "AS THOU COMES TO GAAR AND GAZA, "AS THOU

GOES UNTO," WHAT? SODOM. SO CANAAN ALSO WAS PART OF SODOM

AND GOMORRAH. SO WE HAVE A CHOICE TODAY. I WANT YOU TO

STAND YOUR FEET. ARE WE GONNA LET THE ENEMY IN OR WE GONNA

KEEP THE SERPENT OUT? I BELIEVE GOD HAS GIVEN OUR COUNTRY, OUR

NATION, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR CHURCHES A GREAT, GREAT

OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE EARTH. TO TAKE OUR AUTHORITY AND

TAKE BACK GROUND AND KEEP THE ENEMY OUT, BUT IT'S GONNA

REQUIRE US. SEE, A LOT OF US ARE WAITING ON GOD TO DO SOMETHING.

AND HE IS, IT'S GOD'S TURN NOW. BUT HE'S ALSO WAITING ON US TO

TAKE OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE THAT DOESN'T TALK TO THE ENEMY,

DOESN'T GIVE ACCESS TO THE ENEMY, BUT KICKS HIM OUT. JUST

BAM, TAKE HIM OUT. NO, YOU'RE NOT COMING IN. SO FATHER, IN THE

NAME OF YESHUA, AND THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING, WE THANK YOU FOR

YOUR WORD TODAY, WHERE IT SHOWS US THE POWER OF HONOR, THE

BLESSING OF HONOR, BUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF DISHONOR. AND

FATHER, WE PRAY OVER OUR GREAT COUNTRY AND THE NATIONS OF THE

EARTH, FOR THEY ARE IN TURMOIL. BUT YET GOD, YOU HAVE COME AT

THIS TIME TO INTERJECT YOURSELF WITH THE FINGER OF GOD, TO STOP

THE MOVEMENT OF PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS AND RULERS OF

DARKNESS AND THOSE WHO COOPERATE WITH THEM. AND WE, YOUR STEWARDS

IN THIS EARTH AND IN THE GARDEN OF THE EARTH, IN THE GARDEN OF

THE NATION AND THE CITIES AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE LIVE IN.

LORD, WE TAKE AUTHORITY OVER ANY AND ALL OPERATIONS OF ANY

DEMONIC SPIRITS, ANY CURSES AND ASSIGNMENTS OF WITCHCRAFT. WE

BREAK ITS POWER AND WE STAND IN THE HONOR OF YOU, OUR GOD AND

OUR KING. AND WE SAY THAT FATHER, YOU ARE EQUAL TO NO ONE.

YOU ARE THE FATHER, THE SON, YESHUA, AND THE HOLY GHOST.

YESHUA IS GOD. HE IS KING. HE IS LORD. HE IS THE MESSIAH. AND WE

DO NOT SHARE HIS HONOR OR GLORY WITH ANYTHING FALSE. AND SO

LORD, I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD STIR YOUR PEOPLE IN THIS TIME,

WHETHER IT BE FOR THEIR NATIONS, WHETHER IT BE FOR THEIR CITIES,

THEIR COMMUNITIES, THEIR SCHOOLS, LORD, THAT YOU WOULD

STIR THE PEOPLE. AS IT WAS SAID OF PHINEAS IN THE SCRIPTURE,

THEY TOOK THE SPEAR THROUGH THOSE IN THE TENT, THE MAN AND

THE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING AN ACT IN A TENT OF ADULTERY AND OF

SIN, AND HE CAST HIS SPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM, AND IT WAS

ACCOUNTED UNTO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND YOU SAID OF

HIM, PHINEAS, "THAT THE ZEAL OF THE LORD HAD CONSUMED HIM

"BECAUSE HE STOOD UP AND HE DID AN ACT OF HONOR." GOD, I PRAY

THAT THIS WOULD CARRY US INTO OUR MIDTERMS IN AMERICA, THROUGH

OUR MIDTERMS, INTO OUR NEXT ELECTION. HE WOULD CARRY US

THROUGH 2026, THAT YOUR PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY

WILL ARISE AND GIVE NO ACCESS TO THE DEVIL. AND THAT FATHER,

WE'LL SEE NOT OUR VINEYARD STOLEN, BUT PROTECTED BY THE

POWERFUL MIGHT AND RESTRAINT OF YOU, GOD, AS WE HONOR YOU AND WE

HONOR AND STEWARD OVER WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO US. AND I THANK

YOU FOR IT, IN JESUS' NAME. NOW, I JUST WANNA ASK A QUESTION. ONE

OF THE GREATEST THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO STEWARD OVER IN YOUR

LIFE IS WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GO WHEN YOU DIE? SOME PEOPLE JUST

LIVE THEIR LIFE TO LIVE THEIR LIFE. THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT

ETERNITY. I WANNA ASK YOU A QUESTION AND THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, HAVE YOU EVER ASKED JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR HEART

TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE? COME ON,

IT'S TIME TO STEWARD OVER YOUR LIFE. DON'T GIVE THE DEVIL

ACCESS TO DESTROY YOU, TO SEND YOU TO HELL. GOD DOESN'T SEND

ANYBODY TO HELL. WE ALLOW THE ENEMY TO DO IT. SO IS THERE

ANYBODY HERE? I WANT YOU TO BE BOLD. FOR YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

YOU CAN PUT A HAND UP. YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, PREACHER, PRAY

FOR ME. I WANT TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST IN MY HEART. I WANT HIM

TO FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS. IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY, PUT YOUR HAND

UP. PUT YOUR HAND UP. ANYBODY HERE? ANYBODY HERE? I WANNA PRAY

FOR YOU. THERE'S A HAND, I WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD AND BRING THAT

TEXAS MAN, BRING THAT YOUNG MAN. COME ON DOWN. ANYBODY ELSE? I

WANT YOU TO COME DOWN FRONT. ANYBODY ELSE? ANYBODY ELSE?

ANYBODY ELSE? HOW YOU DOING, MAN? GOOD. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? MY

NAME IS ANGEL. NO WAY. IS YOUR REAL NAME ANGEL? YEAH, IT REALLY

IS. I NEVER, WELL, I'VE MET ANGELS, BUT I'VE NEVER MET A

REAL HUMAN ANGEL, BUT I JUST MET. ANGEL KEATE. ANGEL KEATE.

DID I PRONOUNCE IT RIGHT? YOU DID IT, YOU DID IT. HI, ANGEL.

AMEN. I CAN TELL YOU ARE READY FOR SOME CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE.

YEAH, YOU REALLY ARE. I CAN SEE IT. YEAH. MAN, YOU ARE REALLY,

REALLY, LISTEN, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS. YOU DON'T HAVE

ANYTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. YEAH. AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE CAN ACT A

CERTAIN WAY AND THEY CAN SAY CERTAIN THINGS TO TRY TO INFLICT

FEAR AND CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE, I'M NOT IN CONTROL. GOD IS. NOW,

I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME. THERE IS ONE OTHER TIME THAT YOU WERE

READY TO JUST DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY. YOU STARTED GOING

THAT DIRECTION AND THEN YOU GOT DIVERTED. RIGHT? YEAH, I KNOW. I

CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES. THIS TIME IT'S GOT TO STICK. BECAUSE

GOD'S GOT YOU ON A PATH THAT HE REALLY WANTS TO HELP YOU, ANGEL.

AND A LOT OF THE TURMOIL AND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING

AROUND YOU, GOD JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A CLEAN SLATE. AND WE

CAN HELP YOU AS A CHURCH. ARE YOU FROM HERE? YOU'RE FROM

WICHITA, KANSAS? OKAY. WELL, THERE'S SOME GOOD CHURCHES

THERE. PASTOR DOUG WILL HELP YOU, OUR STAFF. BOB, BOB, WHY

DON'T YOU COME OVER HERE, BOB? I WANT YOU TO STAND BY ANGEL.

WELL, LET'S PRAY THIS PRAYER, ANGEL. AND I'LL HELP YOU TOO,

OKAY? YOU DIDN'T WALK OUT, THANK YOU. AMERICA CAN BE SAVED

BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WILLING TO STICK IT OUT, LISTEN

TO SOME BOLD TRUTH, YOU KNOW, RIGHT? LISTEN, WE'RE GETTING

LIED TO A LOT TODAY. WE NEED THE TRUTH, AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE BEEN, YOUR HANDS, YOU'VE

BEEN IN AND OUT OF WORK. YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME GOOD,

CONSISTENT WORK TOO. ISN'T THAT RIGHT? SO WE'RE GONNA PRAY THAT.

ALL RIGHT, I WANT YOU TO REPEAT AFTER ME, ANGEL, AND THOSE OF

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MAYBE YOU PUT YOUR HANDS UP TOO, WITH

ANGEL, AND MAYBE YOU DIDN'T COME FORWARD AND YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM.

I WANT YOU TO REPEAT AFTER ME, SAY HEAVENLY FATHER. I WANT YOU

TO SAY IT. I BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT YOU RAISED JESUS FROM THE

DEAD. THE BIBLE SAYS WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THEIR HEART THAT YOU

RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD SHALL BE SAVED. AND WHOEVER CALLS ON

THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. JESUS, I CALL UPON YOU.

COME INTO MY HEART. FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS. AND BE THE LORD OF

MY LIFE. AND I WILL SERVE YOU TODAY. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD.

AMEN. BOB, I WANT YOU TO GRAB HIS HAND FOR A MINUTE. AND JUST

TALK TO HIM. BOB, YOU CAN GO OVER THERE IN THE SIDE AND JUST

TALK TO ANGEL. SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO FOR

HIM. LISTEN, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, IT'S TIME FOR US

TO GET SERIOUS WITH GOD. IT IS. AND I NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR BEING

A PREACHER THAT DEMANDS THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOD DOES.

AMEN. DOUG, DO YOU HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? LET'S JUST KEEP

THEM SHORT BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY KEPT THE PEOPLE LONG. AND

INTERNET, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DELAY BY ABOUT 15 MINUTES.

WHAT'S THE ANNOUNCEMENTS? CAN WE MAKE THEM REAL QUICK TO THE

POINT? MAKE THEM REAL QUICK. OKAY, CAN YOU GIVE THEM TWO

MINUTES? TWO MINUTES, OKAY. OKAY, TWO MINUTES. ALL RIGHT,

GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU. PRAISE GOD. THANK YOU. YES,
