-
- Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We worship you.
-
We honor you, our God. And Lord, we are so grateful
-
today. Yeshua, for the sacrifice that you gave.
-
And with that, we love you and we honor you, we serve you.
-
- Worship you, Lord. - And God, today, I pray that we
-
would touch your heart in such a way that would cause your
-
presence to be so among us that we will know that God Himself is
-
here to bless the people. And we love you and all the
-
people that love God said, - "Yes, yes."
-
- Man, okay. So you want to know how you did? You guys did great.
-
These two sections, I didn't even hear you. No, honestly,
-
I didn't even hear you. - Must be the room.
-
- Must be the room. So I'm going to try it again. All the people
-
that love God said, - "Amen.."
-
- Wow, okay. - Now I heard it, but I didn't
-
hear it over there. And all the people that love God said,
-
- "Amen." - I heard a little bit.
-
All right, no, you guys are good. How's everybody doing?
-
Are you ready for the nice change of weather? Notice
-
the leaves are turning colors. Isn't that
-
incredible? The leaves are turning colors now and it's
-
fall. Brenda, it's fall. - I know, I know. I like it. I
-
do like four seasons. I was talking with Tracy in the
-
back and she's about their trips to the beach and all
-
these things and she said, but I do like four seasons.
-
- Well, how many of you are already starting to gather
-
the leaves that are falling? - No, not enough yet.
-
- then you got time to get a book. So I got this new book
-
on how to collect leaves by a great, great author, Ray King.
-
He's a great guy there. So you can go ahead and get.
-
Oh, stop, stop. I haven't even got going yet. Brenda, you.
-
- That was bad. - Never mind, sorry.
-
- Okay, that was pretty brilliant. I have to give you
-
credit. - Okay, well, we think about
-
that stuff up here, Brenda.
-
- Ray King, I'll never forget it.
-
- I want to do this. I want to greet those of you that are
-
watching. You can get that book too, but we're so honored that
-
you're joining us today. I can't stop laughing. We're so
-
honored that you're joining us today. Put in the
-
comments, not the joke, but where you're watching from.
-
I like to always know kind of the cities, or maybe if
-
you're from a different nation, that is always
-
really awesome. Many of you Canadian people, we
-
love to hear from you, even South Africa. And
-
so we're glad you're here today. We also have
-
a very special guest, John Amachuka is here. I
-
hope I pronounced his name right. He'll be stepping in in
-
just a moment. He's been really tearing it up with the schools.
-
- Yes. He's helped us as a church to be engaged in so many
-
things that are so important that are happening in our nation
-
right now where the church has kind of been AWOL. And
-
don't you love seeing that the church is
-
taking its place in the culture, the
-
public square. It's amazing. - It's amazing. Well, yesterday
-
I had fun. How many of you, you had fun yesterday? I did.
-
All right, eight people had fun. OK. A few over here.
-
- It was a fun Saturday. - So Matthew and I,
-
we went to the Nebraska game. So can they show a
-
pic? Look at this. We went to Nebraska. We had fun.
-
Look at that. And so this next one, we get this. We
-
met Tom Osborne. Man, he was stone cold. He didn't even
-
say a word. But we were able to at least meet him there.
-
But we had a great time. And I'll tell you what, man,
-
there was a couple times I was going to go down and
-
help coach. And one time I was going to see if I could
-
suit up, you know, because the game was kind of going a
-
different direction. Not that I could come up with a plan.
-
- Hey, we won though. That mattered. It mattered.
-
- I did hear some big changes though are coming to football
-
as far as their pants. Have you guys heard about that?
-
You know, they wear the tights.
-
They're gonna start changing from wearing tights to like
-
jeans because too many players are getting
-
titanitis. And so they're gonna change that. That's
-
kind of an interesting thing, so.
-
- Oh boy, it's gonna be a fun day.
-
- Is it over too? Tyrone, I see you laughing. Your
-
stomach is moving. I see it, it's going like this. All
-
right, well let's worship God. Okay, right. Doug, Keeler, I
-
saw you laughing too. It was, it was, yep, it was moving. I
-
saw it. I saw it. You laugh, that's hunger and pains, but
-
I saw it. I could see it. - All right, well good. All
-
right, well you, are you excited to be in God's house today?
-
I like to say it this way, there's no place
-
I'd rather be on a Sunday morning than with the
-
family of God, the people of God. So how many of you are
-
ready to give God your very best praise today? Not a
-
spectator, a participator. All right, well throw those
-
hands up to heaven and say, say, Lord, it's going to be
-
a great day. The Holy Ghost is going to move in this
-
house, touch my life, speak to me, and whatever you ask
-
me to do, I'll be obedient to it. And Lord, I promise
-
to give you my very best praise. Come on, shout like
-
you're excited and let's praise the lord.
-
- Come on, church. Let's give Him some praise this morning.

- Come on, just prophesy on the instruments. Lord, we
-
worship you, we honor you. And we declare that you are
-
the Holy God, the fairest of them all, the most
-
beautiful, honorable, righteous. You are the
-
magnificent one. You are exalted above all other
-
things, both invisible and visible. You are exceedingly
-
above, for you are the greatest. You are the most
-
high, and there is no one that can match the honor of
-
your majesty, of you, the king of glory, the king of
-
nations, our king, our God, our Lord, Elohim, God,
-
Yahweh, Adonai, the Eternal One, the Living God. You
-
are, you are, you are, you are, you are, you are God.
-
And you are exalted on high. And we forever come to honor
-
the greatness of you, God, and of your blood sacrifice,
-
Yeshua. Your own blood, not the blood of bulls or goats
-
or calves, but your own blood you sacrifice. And you
-
carry me into that holy place. And you put that
-
blood upon the royal mercy seat. And now we have grace
-
and mercy in hell. Oh how we honor you God. Thou art
-
holy. Thou art holy. [speaking in tongues] The
-
words cannot describe the honor of the mention of your
-
name, Yeshua. [speaking in tongues] Oh my, holy, holy,
-
[speaking in tongues] We worship you. Holy is thy
-
name. Holy is thy name. We worship you. We worship you.
-
We worship you. We worship you. Oh God, we fear thy
-
name. We fear you. The beautiful one, the exalted
-
God and King, whom we fear with reverence and honor
-
unto you. Oh, there's no one that was found worthy to
-
open the books or the seals thereof, but the one is like
-
a burning fire, a brazing fire. God, even the sun is
-
considered dim compared to the brightness of your
-
rising. We worship you. Come on, all over the world,
-
worship God. We love you. We honor you. We worship you.
-
Oh, how we worship you. And we surrender to you, God.
-
Our hearts, our will, our lives for your honor. For
-
your honor. How many of you honor God? How many of you
-
honor God? Thank you, Lord. We worship you. We worship
-
you. We worship you. We worship you. Pastor Brenda,
-
I want you to come for a moment, please. And the
-
reason I do is I want you to proclaim. I wanna pray for
-
people today. We were discussing this. She's
-
writing a tremendous book, by the way, on commanding
-
peace. And I was reading today, this morning, where
-
Jesus went to the disciples and those of you that are
-
watching, where he had risen from the dead, and they kept
-
forgetting what Jesus said. Then finally, there's like
-
one verse, it says, "And they remembered his words."
-
And I got to thinking to myself, I wonder why is it,
-
Hank, that sometimes in this guy's life right here, that
-
you get troubled, you get concerned, you start letting
-
your mind wander, you try to figure out how things are
-
going to work out and should work out and why they're not
-
working out. It's because we forget God's Word. We don't
-
remember what he said in his word to fear not, let not
-
your heart be troubled, let it not be afraid, right? Or
-
we forget what God has said to us prophetically, how the
-
promises have been revealed to us. Well, then they went
-
back to the 11 and they said, "Hey, Jesus is alive."
-
And then Jesus walks in and the first thing he
-
announces, for those of you that are watching today as
-
well, he goes, peace be unto you. Because peace isn't a
-
feeling, peace is God, Prince of Peace, right? And
-
you know what the disciples, Jesus looks at them and he
-
says, why are you troubled? And then he said this, this
-
really hit me, he said, and why are you letting your
-
heart, so your mind be filled with all these
-
thoughts? See what happens when you start getting your
-
peace stolen, you start getting troubled, all of a
-
sudden your mind gets attacked and it steals your
-
peace. So I want to pray for anybody today, whether
-
you're in this room or you are watching online, where
-
you just feel like there is something that is attacking
-
your peace, your life. Maybe you're battling with a
-
symptom in your body and you're like, man, I just
-
can't come to peace. I'm just frustrated. I feel like
-
I've been believing and I'm not seeing anything. Maybe
-
it's a financial situation. Maybe it's a relationship
-
issue. Maybe it's a marriage that you're wanting to see
-
peace come to it. Or maybe it's just you wanna come to
-
peace, say, "Hey, you know, I can find somebody. "I
-
don't have to be by myself." And you're troubled, and
-
then thoughts hit you. Well, you're not pretty, you're
-
not handsome, you're not this, you're not that. Am I
-
the only one that ever has that happen? Where you
-
disqualify yourself by your own mind and thoughts? Why
-
you can't do something, why you're not good enough, why
-
you're not qualified. Listen, I lived in that
-
world for a long time. When it came to this this church,
-
I kept saying, "God, how come? How come I have to
-
have the ugliest building in all of Omaha?" You all
-
remember that ugly building? And God said to me, but I
-
forgot his word. He said to me, he said, "Buy the
-
building." I said, "I don't want this ugly building." He
-
said, "I want you to buy it." He told me three times
-
and finally I said, "Yes." And then I said, "I don't
-
know if you're supposed to do this." I said, "I'll make
-
a deal. "If you do two things, you pay for it "and
-
make it look better." He said, "It will be known as
-
LOH the beautiful." And God has kept to his word. So
-
here I was disqualifying something that God was
-
saying. So, all right, so Mama, I'm gonna turn over to
-
you 'cause I feel like we really need to pray for some
-
people, but I feel like you're carrying this anointing in what
-
you're writing, but in the revelation of it.
-
- Well, you didn't know this because in the manuscript
-
right now, right from the beginning chapter, I talk
-
about how Jesus walked in. And one of the things in
-
there, and this is so important, I know this is
-
for somebody who maybe you're feeling like, well,
-
God, you know, I'm not experiencing peace 'cause I
-
messed up or I didn't have enough faith or something
-
happened. And Jesus, when he came into the room, where
-
the disciples, you know, keep in mind, they were
-
huddled up in hiding because, you know, Jesus was
-
arrested and they thought maybe they were gonna get
-
rounded up by the Jews for being insurrectionists. And
-
so here they were locked away in fear. And Jesus,
-
when he came in, and this just hit me so hard, he
-
never once addressed their fears or their issues. First
-
thing out of his mouth was, "Peace be unto you." And
-
then Thomas comes in a little bit after that. And
-
Thomas, who the Bible even said had more doubt and more
-
fear, the very first words to Thomas were, "Peace be
-
unto you." So that's the word of the Lord today for
-
you. Jesus is prophesying peace to your life.
-
- You know what, you just taught me something. So
-
here's the thing, we're not gonna focus on what isn't right.
-
- That's right. - What needs to be fixed.
-
We're gonna focus on receiving peace. That is powerful.
-
- Yes, so right now I just prophesied peace. I want you
-
to receive it. Those of you in this room and all of
-
those watching around the world, we prophesy peace to
-
your life. We break the power of anxiety and fear
-
and stress and trauma and anguish. We break the power
-
of all PTSD. We take authority over all
-
post-trauma stress disorder. We bind the powers of every
-
mental disorder, all mental oppression. We take
-
authority in the name of Jesus of Nazareth over
-
everything that would assail you. We pray that your faith
-
will not fail. We break the power of that evil spirit
-
that would try to come against your mind, come
-
against your thoughts. Get out of God's people in the
-
authority of Jesus' name. And now I prophesy over your
-
life peace. I prophesy tranquility. I prophesy a
-
calming effect. I prophesy that the peace of the Lord
-
envelops you and it surpasses all understanding,
-
all thoughts, all things that you were trying to
-
bring up in your mind to try to fix this or fix that. No,
-
the peace of the Lord surpasses all of it and it
-
comes upon you right now in Jesus' name. Now say this
-
word, say, I receive divine peace. I say grace and peace
-
are being multiplied in my life. Peace be still to
-
every storm. Say it again, say peace be still to every
-
storm. And I am now at peace in Jesus' name.
-
- Lord, in that declaration. - Yes, amen, amen.
-
- The declaration of peace. - Yes, Lord.
-
- Peace is also nothing missing.
-
And nothing broken. So everything that's been paid
-
for, Yeshua, in our covenant of peace, we declare as being
-
provided, ministered, not only by the power of your might and
-
your spirit, but of the hosts who are ministering servants,
-
sent for those that are heirs of salvation.
-
- Thank you, Jesus.
-
- Now let those things be released in accordance to our
-
covenant, in Jesus' name. - In Jesus' name.
-
- Amen. - Amen.
-
- So I gotta tell you, this is really powerful. So I
-
went over there, and John Amachukwa was over there,
-
and he had his laptop pulled up. Guess what his sermon is
-
about. And the first thing he showed me was, he's gonna
-
open up with Jesus walking in the room and declaring
-
peace. So God, 'cause I'm carrying a prophetic word, I
-
guess I'll just have to deliver it. I don't feel to
-
give it now, but I was feeling it as I was walking
-
out. I was hearing something. It ain't the
-
time, evidently. And yet I felt this is what God
-
wanted, so that's what we do. But anyway, well, are
-
you excited that you're here in the house of the Lord?
-
All right, so Pastor Brenda, I don't know if you knew
-
this or not, but we are 60 days away from Christmas. So
-
I'm gonna start sending you, you know, stuff.
-
- Sing, please don't sing.
-
- I won't sing. So here's what I want you to do. I
-
want you to greet one another, and then I wanna
-
see, and you online, if you can recite the 12 days of
-
Christmas. Might take you a little bit. All I remember
-
is the partridge in the pear tree.
-
- Do it after church, they'll miss Pastor John's message.
-
- All right, do it after church. See if you can remember one
-
thing of the days of 12 days. Anyway, greet one another in
-
the name of the Lord. - Love on each other in God's
-
house. Amen.
-
(gentle music)
-
- Well, good morning, church. This is your first
-
time in the building with us. We wanna make you feel
-
welcome. I also wanna make sure you received a Baloo
-
gift bag when you came inside the door. If you did
-
not, please wave your hand at an USHER. They have those
-
available for you. Inside the Baloo gift bag, there's
-
lots of goodies we've tucked in there for you, as well as
-
a guest registry packet. So please pull that out at this
-
time. I wanna point out a couple things in there. It
-
has a picture of the stage on the front of it, so you
-
can find it in the bag. On the left-hand side, if you
-
flip it open, there is a bright orange
-
state-connected card. I'd like you to tear that off,
-
fill it out, drop it in the offering basket when it
-
comes by. In just a few moments, we just wanted to
-
send you a thank you for coming to see us this
-
morning, and make sure you stay connected with
-
everything we have going on here at the church. If
-
you're watching my livestream, Facebook Live,
-

-

-
'cause they always give me a hard time about not
-
mentoring Rumble. We have lots of people out there
-
that love Rumble, so please get out there, watch, you
-

-
great, great wisdom that's out there for you to
-
consume. So if you would, just give all of our guests
-
here and online a hand. Ask Pastor Brenda Kunn.
-
- Amen. Well, we wanna get our guest up here as quickly
-
as possible, so I'll be trying to be fairly brief.
-
Just a couple things, just wanna remind everybody, this
-
Wednesday, our Rescuing a Generation Online Only
-
event, we're going to be here praying and prophesying
-
over prayer requests for your children, your family,
-
the next generation, and so go to hankandbrenda.org, get
-
those prayer requests in. We're gonna have them here in the
-
tabernacle and Pastor and I are gonna literally,
-
the reason we're doing it online only is because we're
-
gonna move about the building a lot, and we have
-
a call station set up, and we should've had a picture
-
of that, Bob. I didn't even think about that. But we
-
have people that are gonna be in the building taking calls
-
from everybody all around the world, and we're gonna
-
be praying for your kiddos. We're gonna pray for your
-
family. What's that? And we are also gonna
-
get on the phones and answer a few calls with the help of all
-
of our operators. But that night, we are giving away
-
completely free, you don't have to sow for this, this is just
-
free, the Rescuing a Generation Prayer Guide, how to pray and
-
preserve your children from evil. And Pastor and I put
-
this together a few years ago and we want to make it
-
available to all of you so that you can pray for your
-
kids and protect them. There's just evil at every
-
corner in the culture currently. And so that's
-
what we're here to pray about. And then that night,
-
we're gonna be talking about the children's material. How
-
many of you were here last week when I just talked
-
about how we have this new opportunity with the use of
-
AI? You know, we hear so much evil about AI right
-
now, but you know, never see technology as fully evil if
-
you can take and use it for good. And so what we found
-
out is that to get all of Pastor Hank's animation onto
-
some of these groups like, you know, we have some
-
bigger ones looking, but places like Pureflex and
-
different ones of these outlets and these companies
-
that put out all this entertainment material, we
-
can't just have like one video, we need four, five,
-
even six would be better. And so we have three that
-
are ready to go. But the cost factor comes in when it
-
comes to the actual animation side. And I found
-
out there's so much involved in that, like 32 frames or
-
pictures or something in every one second of
-
animation. It's an incredible number. And so,
-
but now with the use of AI, and Pastor's gonna show you
-
in a little bit kind of how that looks. And we need to
-
tweak a few things with it, but it's coming together in
-
an amazing way. And so I think you're gonna be very,
-
very blessed. We're gonna talk about it that night.
-
But we also have a whole bunch of kids bundles we've
-
put together that we're gonna talk about that night.
-
And as you help support the project, we'll send those
-
out. And it's just in time for Christmas. So you'll be
-
able to give them out to your kids and grandkids. And
-
in fact, Pastor John said that his son is eight, and
-
he's like a budding cartoonist. So he and Pastor
-
Hank need to meet pretty quick. And wouldn't that be
-
awesome? And just see what he is putting out. So we're
-
super excited just to see. It is just time to take
-
children's entertainment out of the hands of the evil
-
one. (congregation applauding) And the thing
-
about Pastor Hank's stuff, and by the way, just so you
-
know, he won't tell you this part, maybe he will, but he
-
like painstakingly watches over every word, every
-
concept, every picture, so nothing is ever
-
misconstrued. Nobody uses it in the wrong way. And
-
Rachel, you know this, he'll be like, well, how should
-
that sound? Any little phrase, everything he uses,
-
but it's funny, it's not just retold Bible stories,
-
it's humor. How many of you have read the Zepto comics?
-
Many of you in here, and there's more to come. And
-
it's just, I mean, he really takes his time on that. So
-
be calling in that night, those of you, we're gonna
-
have a phone number available, seven o'clock
-
central. Do they have a copy of the, I think they have a
-
picture of the call center that's set up, I just got a
-
note from the back. Do you have that, do you have a
-
little video? There we go. That's in the chapel. So we
-
have a whole group of people that are gonna be taking
-
calls that night and praying with you on the phone. And
-
then I believe it's out in the foyer. We're gonna set
-
the whole foyer up as a prayer center where people
-
will be praying. Pastor Hank and I will be running over
-
there. We'll be talking. We're gonna have the worship
-
team do some worship that night. And so this is why
-
it's kind of just this crazy mix around. We're turning
-
this into one big TV studio. And then you're gonna have
-
an opportunity to help us get these three things into
-
animation. And we're gonna send you a bunch of stuff
-
out, but this is completely free. So seven o'clock
-
central, Wednesday night, the 29th, right in advance
-
of what the devil has tried to make the most evil day of
-
the year. Folks, let's use this moment, amen? All
-
right, enough said about that. I'll let pastor do the
-
rest. And then very quickly, Omaha Victory Campaign is
-
coming up November 6th through the 9th. And so be
-
here. I know many of you are already registered, but
-
there's information there. You can go to
-
lohchurch.org/events and be involved. Let's be here that
-
weekend. Just learn the word from one of the most
-
long-lasting, incredible generals of the faith,
-
Brother Kenneth Copeland, who was the one who was
-
responsible for allowing Flashpoint to be birthed and
-
launched. And so we want to show him honor. How many of
-
you will honestly say Flashpoint carried you after
-
2020? I am so thankful to all of the Flashpoint team.
-
And I can say this, and you guys have heard me say it
-
before, throughout all of the 2020 election nonsense
-
and all the Trump haters and everybody that was just, and
-
the news media that just absolutely twisted
-
everything and lied through their teeth about
-
everything. Pastor Hank never once, never once did
-
he falter. He said, "I know what God told me about
-
Trump, that he will be in office and he is going to be
-
back." And never once did I ever see him falter. And I
-
don't know if he ever had any thoughts in the middle
-
of the night. At least he never told me about it. He
-
never uttered one word negative out of his mouth.
-
And so I was so thankful for that. Thank you, Pastor
-
Hank, for being steadfast in that time. And then that
-
Sunday on the 9th, Bishop Keith Butler will be here, a
-
longtime friend. John Shuttlesworth will be at the
-
event as well. So be a part of that. And then just last
-
but not least, guys, I know I'm moving right past
-
Christmas, New Year's Eve at Lord of Hosts Church is
-
right around the corner. And I'm telling you, if you've
-
never been to a Holy Ghost party until you've been to
-
New Year's Eve at LOH. So you need to be here. And we
-
don't usually go till midnight, but I don't know.
-
We knocked on the door of it last year, I think. I don't
-
remember, but man, it was so fun. It's just a breakout
-
night. So be part of that. And Janet, we have hotel
-
blocks. Is that true? Are they available yet? Not
-
quite. So those are open. So you can go out to the church
-
website, find information about that and be part of
-
it. If you're coming in from out of town, we do have room
-
rates. So be involved in that. Amen. All right, well,
-
let's get quickly to the offering. They're gonna put
-
up our scripture. We will receive a special offering
-
for Pastor John. I wanna give you an opportunity to
-
sow into his ministry at the end of the service. But
-
here, let's go back to what we did. How many of you were
-
here last week? What was our scripture last week? Mark
-
11:22, this works for everything. Somebody say
-
everything. Mark 11:22, Jesus said to them, this is
-
the four words, say it with me, have faith in God.
-
That's it, have faith in God. And you know that works
-
for every circumstance. You ever think about what Jesus
-
prayed for Peter? He said to Peter, you know, Peter, the
-
devil has come to sift you like wheat. But I prayed for
-
you that your faith, you can say it this way, your faith
-
in God will not fail. Say it again. Say have faith in
-
God. So when you're facing a financial situation, when
-
you're facing a difficult challenge, you're going
-
through something. Anybody ever been through something?
-
You've been through a hard time when you don't know
-
what to do? Have faith in God. I would encourage you
-
to say that phrase every day. In fact, do it right now.
-
Say your name. Say, Brenda, or say your name. I'll say Brenda.
-
Brenda, have faith. Now say your name and say, "Have faith."
-
- Have faith. - In God.
-
- In God. - Now every time you're
-
tempted to do something else, right? You're tempted
-
to worry. You're tempted to be fearful. You're tempted
-
to be frustrated or in anguish about something.
-
Have faith in God. You know that'll work if you're going
-
through something in your family. You're
-
going through something in your business. Maybe
-
it's taken a little turn downward. Have faith in
-
God. You know, I have faith that I tithe. Pastor and I
-
prayed that prayer the other day. We said, Lord, we're
-
tithers. And I, you know, I went back to my accounting
-
records and I just double checked it. I want to make
-
sure I didn't miss a dollar. 'Cause I, you know, if you
-
did it unintentionally, God understands that. But my
-
point is, is I want to be on target with it because I
-
know the promise connected to it. The promise connected
-
to the tither is, A, God will rebuke the devourer.
-
Man, if that's not just enough, my goodness. Had
-
somebody, people tell me over the years, well, you
-
know, tithing is Old Testament. I said, well, if
-
it's Old Testament and I do it, do I still get the
-
promise? God will rebuke the devourer for my sake. I
-
mean, if you just get rid of the devil, the lock gets
-
fixed. But then he said, he doesn't just stop there. He
-
said, I'll open the windows of heaven and pour you out a
-
blessing that you won't have room to receive it. Come on,
-
how many of you could use some big old fat blessings
-
straight from the throne room of God? It's like open
-
the window and pfft. I'll take that. So I have faith
-
in that. I have faith when God says something. But you
-
know, God didn't just stop there. He said, have, Jesus
-
said, have faith in God. Because if you will then say
-
to this mountain, you have a mountain you're fighting.
-
You know the thing about mountains, you can't see
-
past them to the other side. That's what the devil, he
-
likes to put up these roadblocks that make you
-
think, you know, you'll never get through this one.
-
I mean, yeah, you may have got through a few things
-
before, but you ain't never going to get through this
-
one. This is it. Mountain. Jesus said, don't worry, you
-
don't have to stare at the mountain forever. For verily
-
I say to you, if you shall say to this mountain, get up
-
and get out of here, be removed, it'll have to obey
-
you. And don't doubt it in your heart. I'll say, see
-
Pastor Brenda, that's a problem. Sometimes I say,
-
I'm not doubting in my heart. Have faith in God.
-
When you doubt, say that phrase, I have faith in God.
-
When that thought tries to hit you in the middle of the
-
night, I have faith in God. When the enemy comes after
-
you regarding your health, I have faith in God. And Jesus
-
said, if you won't doubt and you'll have faith in God,
-
you'll say to it, get up and get on out of here and
-
you'll have whatever you say. (congregation applauding)
-
Jesus didn't stop preaching, He said,
-
"And whatsoever you ask, believe you receive it."
-
Believe you receive it. Well, how do I do that,
-
Pastor? Say it, say, "I have faith in God." Look at your
-
neighbor, say, "Do you got any faith in God?" If they
-
looked at you not sure, say, "Well, you better get with
-
it." Time for some faith in God. "But I don't feel it."
-
Nobody said you have to feel it. You don't have to feel
-
it, you say it. "I have faith in God." All right,
-
let's put the giving information up on the
-
screen. God bless all of you that are giving from around
-
the world. And as we come into the last two months of
-
our giving, this is a good time to make sure your tithe
-
is on point. It's a good time to make sure your
-
building, in fact, people have asked, you know, where
-
should I give through the end of this year, give into
-
the building fund. We want to push that up a little
-
bit. We're still working on that $400,000 goal. So let's
-
get that wiped out today. Let's do that and take care
-
of that. And let's, you know, what are we, almost in
-
November now. Wow, where did 2025 go? So give into the
-
building project and then your tithes should be the
-
general fund. So all of those different ways to
-
give. So there's the mobile app, text to give, website,
-
envelope and a QR code. And let's just make this last
-
little bit of our giving amazing. I wanna end 2025 on
-
that high note in my own personal giving. You should
-
have that same goal so we start 2026 correctly, amen? All right,
-
when you have your giving ready, stand up on your feet as quickly
-
as possible. Some of you might still be writing. If you've got
-
your phone, your device, all of you online. We're gonna do our
-
declaration together but Imma pray for you first. Because I
-
have faith in God that when we pray right now, come on, right
-
now, we're gonna get an answer. So hold that device out there,
-
do it with an attitude, act like its a sword in the face of
-
Satan. Yeah somebody over there is shaking theirs. I mean just
-
shaking their phone. I don't know what that does to your
-
phone, 911 might think its an emergency. You just tell them
-
it is an emergency I'm destroying the devil, all is
-
well. Heavenly father, I pray for these people under the
-
sound of my voice and everybody that's on the internet and
-
around the world and those watching by OVTV, we thank you
-
Lord, for your anointing that is upon these tithes and these
-
offerings. And father these are our prophetic acts that
-
we have faith in God. We believe you. We say to every
-
mountain, "Be removed and cast into the sea." We don't
-
doubt that what we get, what we say is what we get. And
-
Lord, we lift up our prayer requests before you. And we
-
believe whatever things we desire when we pray, we
-
believe we receive it in Jesus' name. Shout amen to
-
add your agreement. All right, let's do our decree
-
together. Say it with me. We declare the campus and
-
ministry of Lord of Hosts Church shall be increased,
-
expanded, and debt free. We decree it shall happen
-
without delay. We say to every heavenly assignment,
-
be built up and finish. We say that we have all the
-
finances needed for the Lord is building this house. we
-
have more than enough excess and overflow. Lord, you are
-
providing seed to the sower. We call upon you, Lord of
-
hosts, to bring forth heavenly assistance and
-
raise up multitudes of people that shall give
-
abundantly to this work. We prophesy that we shall
-
quadruple, quadruple, and then we will quadruple
-
again. We declare new things now. We decree ministry and
-
campus be expanded now. Come on, shout like you believe
-
it as the ushers begin to serve you.
-
- All right, ushers, you can go ahead and ush the people
-
and you can make a friendly smile 'cause God loves that
-
you're a forgiver, right? And those of you online.
-
Well, before I bring up our guest speaker, I'm very
-
excited about the events of this week. And by the way, I
-
was not able to be on Flashpoint last week, but I
-
will be on tomorrow and Tuesday. So I get to kind of
-
get back to my Monday slot tomorrow. So we'll have fun
-
with that and then again on Tuesday. And just, you know,
-
write Gene long letters and tell him to give me more
-
than, what does he say, 20 seconds or whatever. So,
-
well, hey, real quick, I don't want to take too much
-
time away from our guest speaker because the reason
-
we have guest speaker come in so that you hear from
-
them, right? And, but I just felt like this would be
-
fitting. Pastor Brenda had mentioned this Wednesday,
-
we're going to be doing a recapturing a generation night,
-
really just a few days before Halloween. And of course
-
our guest, John Amachukwu. Am I pronouncing it right, Amachukwu?
-
Oh man, thanks. He is so big, he'd get me in a
-
headlock. So, but anyway. Right? (laughing) Anyway.
-
But he has been fighting for the children. I have been
-
fighting for the children. And we want to stand in a
-
place of victory for your child. And so a lot of
-
people don't realize something, you know, just a
-
few days with Halloween, you know, they always like to do
-
the Halloween alternatives. And I wanna say, well, you
-
know, the Devil's crowd never does that with our
-
resurrection services and things like that, right? And
-
we gotta understand that they think we're fools,
-
those that are involved in the occult, witchcraft, and
-
sacrifice babies on Halloween night while your
-
kids are trick or treating and playing, they ain't
-
playing. They're trying to gain more power, more
-
access, right? People don't realize that there is
-
certain demons, obviously, that's connected to blood.
-
It's why Jesus, after he shed his blood, the Holy
-
Spirit came, 'cause there's a connection between blood
-
and spirit. And so, you know, we as Christians are
-
playing our evangelical games. The enemy are
-
sacrificing humans, children, right? Ask our law
-
enforcement. They get the connection between the
-
occult and much of homicides and things that go on this
-
week, and kids missing, and things like that. We gotta
-
get serious. And so we're gonna pray, and we're gonna
-
break the assignment of the enemy that is trying to come
-
not only against this generation, but your
-
children. The other thing is, it's no secret that we
-
have been fighting for a generation of children with
-
all the sexual exploitation of the mutilation of
-
transgender children, you know, being without parental
-
consent, that they can change, right, their
-
supposed gender, and mutilate themselves, and the
-
parents don't have a say, and we know that those in
-
our loony liberal government were pushing for that, and
-
then it's no secret, we're seeing liberalism and all
-
kinds of humanism and indoctrination of our kids,
-
even on the college level, right? Thank God for people
-
like Charlie Kirk, who gave so much of his time to help
-
to recapture a generation. So we're gonna take that
-
night and we are really going to pray and we're
-
gonna minister, we'll see what God says. But the other
-
thing I felt instructed from the Lord, and this is me
-
talking from my heart and that's this, we often say we
-
wanna recapture a generation. But here's what
-
we do, we do at Genesis 19, what Lot did. He was willing
-
to shove his pure virgin daughters out to the
-
perverted culture, send them out to school and have no
-
idea what they're being taught or what they're
-
reading in the libraries. We just shove our kids out
-
there, out the door, right? Or we walk out the door and
-
we shove our kids out in the living room and let them
-
just have all access to YouTube or, you know,
-
whatever, gaming, and we have no idea the perverted
-
stuff that is coming back. Most parents would be
-
horrified if they knew how much pornography their
-
children probably watch, have been exposed to. And
-
the parents have been clueless. And so there had
-
to be angelic intervention that had to come down to
-
literally pull Lot back inside and close the door
-
from him, throwing the next generation out to the
-
perverted evil of what was happening in the day. And so
-
I wanna encourage you to help me, and here's why. On
-
this night on Wednesday, I want them to put up a few of
-
the children's series. It won't be long, I'm gonna
-
make it very quick, but these are some of the things
-
that we're offering. I hear people say all the time,
-
well, we want alternatives for our children. Well, here
-
it is, but then people won't buy that. They'll go and
-
spend money on Disney to put more and more perversion in
-
the cartoons, right? Hide it, but now they're not
-
hiding it anymore. It used to be in the old cartoons,
-
you could find the hidden things. Now they're being so
-
blatant with it. It's nothing to see, you know,
-
homosexuals parading as cartoon characters and
-
transgenders. Now they've got Vampirina that's coming
-
out, Disney, right? To do what? Teach your kids how to
-
be vampires. Okay, show Captain Zepto. We've got,
-
you know, these alternatives. This is great
-
stuff. And now the Lord instructed me, said, "I want
-
you to put in an animation." Because we're trying to
-
recapture generation and these are not, listen, these
-
have been tested on three markets. They've been tested
-
among the Jews because the king is called Elion and I
-
had the Jewish community of Omaha, I handed it to a few
-
of the Jewish people, I didn't know and they all
-
came back and said, "Oh, thank you for honoring the
-
Jewish people." I said, "Oh, yes, my honor, my honor."
-
I'm thinking, what in the world is this? And they
-
said, "King Elion, Almighty God." I'm like, "Yeah, I
-
knew that." So then, and I tested it out on some
-
Christians. They're like, "Oh, these are such
-
biblically themed, "but they're not over
-
Christianese, but good morals." And then I thought,
-
"All right, God, "that's the second test market. "I'm
-
gonna try on the heathens up the street." So I gave these
-
to the heathens up the street. They came back and
-
said, "Oh, man, thank you so much "for keeping that stuff
-
out of there." I said, "What stuff?" You know, that
-
churchinese or whatever. He didn't say church, I think
-
he said church beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
-
but I can't say that beyond the pulpit, but
-
anyway. I said, "Oh, yeah, yeah." He said, "Oh, these
-
are so funny, these are so funny." So we're really
-
trying to recapture a generation. Now here's the
-
thing, it was gonna cost me $1.2 million to get three
-
more out, but now it's only gonna cost me $300,000, and
-
I believe by the time we are done, we are going to get
-
all of that and more. So, with that, before I bring up
-
our guests, how many of you ever watched Carol Burnett?
-
Remember that? Misha Shuegans? Remember that?
-
Well, the old ones. Well, anyway, there's a lady,
-
Louise D'Art. You ever seen? She'd been on Carol Burnett
-
a few times. She does the voice of Granny Z. Louise,
-
you might be watching. She loves our ministry. We love
-
you, Louise. Thank you for doing this. And I want to
-
show you how incredible the animation is that we're
-
doing. So can I show you a 30-second clip? And then are
-
you going to help us to recapture a generation? Are
-
you going to help us? We're going to knock out that
-
300,000 like this. I'm going to get on the phone. We're
-
going to talk to you. And I'm going to ask you to go
-
to your granny and ask her for some help for Pastor
-
Hank. OK, so without further ado, here is a 30-second
-
clip, and then we're going to bring up our guest
-
speaker. Here we go. - Darlings, I can reverse
-
everything. - I think that would be best.
-
- To do this properly, I'll need total privacy. When I get done,
-
your captain won't have any hair problem at all. Trust me.
-
- Well, she said she'd fix it. - guess we could work the
-
room for a bit. - Fine. One lap and we're back,
-
though. Kenneby, monitor this very spot.
-
- Affirmative. - Now let's get to work.
-
You don't need to worry. I'll fix you right up.
-
- Coming in loud and clear. - Rocking you with another hour
-
of... - dimwit!
-
- Buckle up for the galactic quest of Captain Zepto.
-
- Wait, how's my hair? - Well, buckle up for the next
-
adventure of Captain Zepto. You know who the narrator is?
-
(congregation applauding)
-
So anyway, thank you for your help on that.
-
And I'm really, really excited. We are gonna get
-
that done. Did you like that? That's just a short
-
clip. So we'll have a lot of fun with that. All right,
-
well, it's my honor, and those of you that are
-
watching, to introduce our guest speaker today. And I
-
first heard about him, I think it was Gene Bailey.
-
Gene, if you're watching, he had sent years ago a clip of
-
this gentleman that was going into schools and
-
standing down these demonic, and I say demonic, school
-
board superintendents, mixed up people, man, and just
-
presenting the books that they're allowing in the
-
schools, and he was reading certain things, and they're
-
saying, "Get these filthy things out of here," and I'm
-
thinking, "Well, you're the one "that put 'em in there."
-
And I started liking this guy, and then all of a
-
sudden, I believe it was Gene sent me a video of John
-
getting arrested at one of the schools, and I said, I
-
really like this guy. And he got arrested, and these big
-
cops, now John's huge, but these big cops came and they
-
handcuffed him, and he just so, you know, John's just so
-
gentle, he puts the handcuffs on, and I'm
-
sitting there prophesying to him that song, break every
-
chain, break every chain, He breaks every chain. I'm
-
like, John, just break that chain. You know, I'm sure
-
you could have. But anyway, I said, I like this guy. And
-
I knew in my heart that we needed to have him come to
-
Lord of Hosts Church. We've done a few Flashpoint events
-
together. Of course, he's been a major voice for God
-
in this nation, really around the world. And so it
-
is our honor. I want you to stand to your feet and I
-
want you that are watching, and I want you to put the
-
hand clap mojos, or whatever they call it, and let's
-
welcome John Amachukwu to Lord of Hosts Church,
-
Stonewall, Nebraska, to tear it up, John! I love you,
-
man. All right, God bless you. Thank you. Have fun.
-
(audience applauding)
-
- Now let's turn our adoration this morning
-
towards the God of the Bible, and let's worship His
-
Holy Name. I want you to clap your hands louder for
-
Him than you did for me. I want you to celebrate Him
-
more than you did for me. He is the reason why we exist.
-
Come on, come on, come on. Open up your mouth and shout
-
with a voice of triumph in this place. We need his
-
presence the more. Come on, come on. Everybody,
-
everybody ought to praise his name. He's worthy of the
-
glory. He's worthy of the honor. He's worthy of the
-
praise. Just about 30 more seconds. Come on, come on.
-
We ravish your name, Jesus. We ravish your name, Jesus.
-
You're the soon-coming king. Without you we can do
-
nothing. And so we lift our hands in the sanctuary. And
-
we thank you for being God. You are the Lord of Hosts.
-
You are the God that sits between the cherubims. You
-
are the God high and seated upon the throne. Your train
-
fills the temple. Less of us, more of you. Lord, as we
-
go into this time of preaching, let your spirit,
-
[SPEAKING in tongues] strengthen me for the work.
-
We rebuke the evil one. We destroy the cords of Satan.
-
We bring down every high thought and imagination,
-
every spirit of disturbance, every suppressing spirit,
-
every mental attack. We destroy you right now. And
-
we ask that the name of Jesus would get the glory
-
and live big in this moment. If you believe that, clap
-
your hands right now and give God some praise in this
-
place. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I
-
give honor to your pastor on this morning. Come on, help
-
me celebrate this man of God. The one and only Pastor
-
Hank Kunneman. Come on. He's a man that stands for truth,
-
that stands for righteousness, and stands
-
for holiness. And before you take your seat, let's
-
celebrate his beautiful bride, Pastor Brenda. Come
-
on, come on, come on. Let's honor her as well. We thank
-
you so much. You may be seated in the presence of
-
the Lord. You don't know how much you all have blessed me
-
thus far this morning. While Pastor Brenda was up, she
-
was all in my message. And I'm sitting back there now,
-
Lord, I'm glad I was obedient to you as I
-
wrestled with what you would give me to preach. This is a
-
sermon that the Lord has used me to minister before.
-
I first preached it about maybe four or five years
-
ago, and the Lord gave it to me to bring it forth before
-
you all today. And while she's up there talking about
-
peace being to you, I'm like, shabbat. Yes, Lord.
-
Lord, you are speaking and you are talking, and I feel
-
good because you only want to get it right. You know,
-
it's not my message, it's his. And so we honor the
-
Lord for that. We thank God for your leadership here at
-
this church. It's an honor for me to be here. I also
-
want to thank God for my beautiful bride, my wife,
-
Crystal Amanchukwu, who I have been married to now for
-
17 years. (audience applauding) She's back home
-
doing ministry work at the church. We had a women's
-
weekend this weekend and God is using her mightily for
-
this weekend along with my mother-in-law for those
-
services. But I do want to honor my wife. She gave
-
birth to all three of our children. Now you're
-
probably wondering why I said it that way because we
-
live in a time and a day where people believe that
-
men can get pregnant. There is a method to my madness.
-
Just hold on till you see. We live in a day where they
-
believe men can get pregnant. We are starting to
-
confuse a man's beer gut with his ability to carry a
-
baby. And it takes a demon for a person to do as I have
-
done. And every man, if you were in the delivery room
-
when your wife gave birth to your child, raise your hand.
-
Amen. Now it takes an insane man to sit there and witness
-
the miraculous and divine miracle of bringing a child
-
into the world and say at the end of that that you
-
want to compete with your wife and mimic that and want
-
to do the same thing. No, when I left out of the
-
delivery room all three times I was there, I was
-
present, I was present when we made the babies and I was
-
present when they came into the world. A big hand clap
-
goes right there. That's a message. I'll come back for
-
that one. Look at your neighbor and shall be
-
present. Hey, that's right. But yeah, um, I left out
-
saying to myself, what manner of woman is this?
-
Even the seas obey, thinking that she could walk on water
-
because it's, it's a, it's a divine thing. It's a holy
-
thing. You know, there's a sanctity that comes along
-
with femininity, but we live in a day where men are
-
trying to rob women of that. But I put things in his
-
proper place. We honor the women of God. Come on. We
-
celebrate them and we seek to protect femininity
-
because men are the direct, direct recipients of it. We
-
should protect it. Amen. I'm going to the word of the
-
Lord on this, on this morning. I honor my children
-
as well. I have three, John Patrick. He's the oldest.
-
He's 16, middle child, Pamela, and Jewel. She's 14,
-
my daughter, and my youngest is John Jr. who Pastor Hank
-
talked about earlier. He drew a picture of me not too
-
long ago. He was elated and excited to do it. He was so
-
celebratory, he was in the office and said, "Daddy, I
-
have something to show you, but you can't come in right
-
now until I finish it." And so when he finishes his
-
drawing, he walks out and he brings it to me. He said,
-
"Are you ready?" I said, "All right, I'm ready." And
-
he shows me this picture and he draws a beautiful
-
American flag. You know, I teach my children to be
-
patriotic. I believe that America is the greatest
-
nation on the face of the planet. Blacks and
-
minorities do better here than in any place or country
-
on the face of the planet, including Africa. I'm
-
blessed to be in the United States of America. I'm not
-
gonna be walking around with a BLM spirit. Mad at
-
America. The devil is a liar. So he drew a beautiful
-
flag, and then he drew an image of me, and he put me
-
in a blue suit with a red tie. And then at the top of
-
it, he put President John Amanchukwu. (audience laughing)
-
Now, in the mind of my eight year old son, he
-
believes that his daddy is worthy enough who also bears
-
the same name. He's a junior. He believes that his
-
daddy is worthy enough to be the next president or so of
-
the United States of America. And so maybe one
-
day I'll become the first black president that America
-
has ever had. (audience cheering) What do y'all
-
think about that? Come on. (audience cheering) All
-
right, let me go ahead and preach. I'm meddling. I'm
-
messing too much. John 20:19-23. John 20:19-23.
-
I'll be reading from the King James Version. And it reads,
-
"Then the same day at evening." The text there is
-
alluding to some things that happened prior to, and we
-
know what happened. That very thing that Jesus spoke
-
of and prophesied of came into manifestation and into
-
fruition. He tore down his temple and was able to
-
rebuild it in three days. Verse 19 says, "Then the
-
same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
-
when the doors were shut, where the disciples were
-
assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood
-
in the mist and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you."
-
And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands
-
and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw
-
the Lord. Verse 21, then said Jesus to them again,
-
"Peace be unto you, as my Father hath sent me, even so
-
I send you." Verse 22, "And when he had said this, he
-
breathed on them and saith unto them, receive ye the
-
Holy Ghost, whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted
-
unto them, and whosoever sins you retain, they are
-
retained. Verse 19 shows us that God came forth and
-
proclaimed peace. Everybody shout peace. Verse 20
-
displays before us that God displayed proof by showing
-
his hands and his side. Everybody shout proof. And
-
then when we get to verse 22, we see where Jesus
-
breathes on his disciples and he gives them a down
-
payment, a little something something if you're from the
-
south, a little something something. To tie them over
-
until the fullness of the spirit would come. Everybody
-
shout power. And that's my message this morning. Peace,
-
proof, and power. In the early 1900s, Alice Bailey,
-
who was known as the prophetess of the New Age
-
movement, she concocted a ten-point plan on how she
-
would deconstruct Western civilization. Keep in mind
-
that Alice Bailey received her esoteric knowledge from
-
a demonic medium by the name of Dwal Kul. Now this spirit
-
that used her came forth through satanic power. And
-
this satanic power that she used was given to her
-
through demonology. She was not a righteous woman. She
-
was not a holy woman. She was diabolical. Even within
-
that, she is one of the original writers for the
-
Luciferian Trust, which is a print organization that was
-
steeped in satanology that was used to bring about
-
demonic renewal in America. The first point that she
-
highlights as it relates to her plan to deconstruct
-
Western civilization, first and foremost, she sought to
-
take God and prayer out of the education system. And we
-
saw that this came into fruition in 1962 with the
-
Ingle V. Vattel court case. During that time frame, a
-
wicked woman by the name of Madeline Murray O'Hare used
-
her son William to push her communist, atheist, and
-
Marxist viewpoints. She projected her belief system
-
on her child and then used her child as a pawn. I'm
-
glad to report that her son William is now saved,
-
sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost. But sadly,
-
his mother is probably in the hottest part of hell.
-
And through this quest to remove God from the public
-
education system during that time frame, zero Christian
-
organizations came forward to raise a brief to stop
-
this from happening. The Christian Church was silent
-
then and the church is silent today. According to
-
former Secretary of Education William Bennett,
-
he revealed in his cultural indexes that between 1960
-
and 1990, as a result of prayer, school-sponsored
-
prayer being removed from the public school system,
-
divorce doubled, teenage pregnancy went up 200%.
-
Listen to me. Teen suicide increased by 300%. Violent
-
crime went up by 500%. And he maintains that there is a
-
strong correlation between the expulsion of
-
school-sponsored prayer and what he was able to see in
-
his cultural indexes in 1960 and in 1990. Fast forward to
-
2025, we have transgender teachers who now have access
-
to our school systems. And in the name of Drag Queen
-
Story Hour, they have been given carte blanche, access
-
to libraries and to our children. And men walk in in
-
dresses with cosmetic femininity. Being a woman is
-
more than a wig. Being a woman is more than some
-
makeup. Being a woman is more than some fishnet
-
stockings and some high heels and some stilettos.
-
Being a woman is more than some lingerie. I can't get
-
no help in here. But we have men who have now gained
-
access to our children. And through this same agenda,
-
they're projecting onto children and now allowing
-
these same men who are boys at times to gain access to
-
bathrooms. And now our daughters and our wives have
-
to consider whether or not there's a man over there
-
imitating them as they go to the stall. We also have the
-
same travesty in sports, where boys and men are
-
trying to compete against women. And every time I see
-
this take place, I'm baffled because we're witnessing
-
fathers sitting in the bleachers. Eat Mike and
-
Ikes. Eat M&M's, plain and/or with peanut. Eat
-
their Twizzlers, eat their Trollies, eat their Sugar
-
Daddies, eat their popcorn, and you know you gotta have
-
it all with a Diet Coke, right? It tastes better with
-
a Diet Coke. And sit in the bleachers as their daughters
-
are being defrauded. Hear me today, something is wrong
-
with you, dad. Something's wrong with you, dad. You
-
have a punk spirit. That's a punk spirit. If you can sit
-
in the bleacher and watch your daughter be defrauded
-
by a man and say nothing, just sit back and say, hey,
-
well, I don't want to cause a disruption. The devil is a
-
liar. At some point, Lord have mercy, testosterone
-
rises up. And if you lost yours, you can get some
-
more. They sell it. But something in you ought to
-
make you say, I can't let my baby girl be treated that
-
way. I got to move on. Point number two, I'm taking too
-
much time there. Number two, she wanted to reduce
-
parental authority over the children. And we see this
-
take place today all around our nation. You have some
-
school systems where kids can go and transition at
-
school. They leave home as Jonna. Go to school and
-
become John. Parents go to plays and programs and
-
wonder why they never heard their son's name be
-
mentioned. Solely because they have a different alias
-
and identity when they get to school. God forbid. We
-
have school systems today where children can go and
-
receive information about how to get an abortion. You
-
know, Planned Parenthood provides the majority of sex
-
ed curriculum to kids in America. And our kids go to
-
school and they receive this content and information, and
-
they are duped. They are deluded. They're confused.
-
Because at school, they're taught that you can murder a
-
baby at any stage of gestation. But then when you
-
get to the average church in America, the preacher
-
leadership gets weak. And they preach a gospel where
-
you can't discern whether or not where the pastor stands
-
on the sanctity of life. And so they're confused at
-
school. And then they're confused at church. Let me
-
help you out. Every time I turn in this book from
-
Genesis to Revelations, we see nothing but God's clear
-
expression towards life. We have this thing called the
-
10 Commandments. Number six says that thou shall not
-
murder. That's enough to tell the preacher where you
-
should stand on the sanctity of life. I've never seen a
-
heartbeat bill in the book, in the Bible. I've never
-
seen a place where it said you can practice
-
infanticide. Never seen a place where we should lobby
-
to see if we can get 20 weeks. The devil is a liar.
-
I'm not lobbying for infanticide for 20 weeks or
-
for a heartbeat bill. I am lobbying for thus saith the
-
Lord. And the Bible says, Proverbs 6:16-19
-
that God has hands that shed innocent
-
blood. Now you may not like me saying that, but you
-
know, that's your business. You have a right to disagree
-
with me, but you don't have a right to disagree with
-
God. The Bible says, "Let God be true, and every man a
-
liar." We have liars in the Democrat Party who are lying
-
to us about the sanctity of life. And we have liars in
-
the Republican Party. I've dealt with lying liberals as
-
I've traveled this country. And I've also dealt with
-
some ratchet rhinos. The pendulum swings both ways,
-
but there's only one political party, and we know
-
who it is. It's the Democrat Party that's trying to make
-
this commonplace. Republicans have to figure
-
out how to message it to win over Christian
-
conservatives. But it's the Democrat Party that wants to
-
kill babies all the way up to 40 weeks, and if the baby
-
survives the botched abortion, they say kill it.
-
The devil is a liar. Number three, she wanted to destroy
-
the Judeo-Christian family structure. And we see that
-
taking place today. The church is confused. We don't
-
know who we are. Reformed, unformed, deformed,
-
conformed. All of these different statements and
-
sayings on what on what on what we believe. I'm of this
-
sect and I'm of that sect. Some believe in
-
continuationism. Some believe that the gifts have
-
ceased. But when you read the Word of God, you see
-
that there is continuationism. Hello,
-
somebody in this place. I want everything that this
-
book promises me. We need the Father. We need the Son.
-
But we also need the third part of the Trinity. Where
-
would I be? Lord, have mercy. If it wasn't for the
-
fourth man in the fire, y'all ain't gonna help me in
-
here. Where would, hey, I feel like running in this
-
place. I feel a run in the Holy Ghost. Where would I
-
be? If it wasn't for the fourth man in the fire. See,
-
we need the Holy Ghost. We need the Holy Spirit each
-
and every day of our lives. Know it continues. I believe
-
that you can lay hands on someone that's sick and
-
according to a Shabbat, the power of God, if it is his
-
will, that person will get up and that sickness will
-
vanish. According to God's will. I believe that. I
-
believe it. Number four. Help me, Holy Ghost. Number
-
four. Alice Bailey said, "If sex is free, then make
-
abortion legal and make it easy." We know what that has
-
done. 70 plus million babies have been aborted since the
-
inception of Roe v. Wade. A travesty. Amongst black
-
people, 20 million of black people are missing because
-
of abortion. And then the NAACP, an organization
-
that's supposed to be for the advancement of colored
-
people, they bowed to the LGBTQ agenda a long time
-
ago. They're no longer trying to advance colored
-
people, they're trying to advance queer people. And
-
recently the NAACP showed their face. Instead of
-
endorsing Lieutenant Governor Winston Sears, a
-
black woman, and intelligent and articulate, all of it.
-
She got the whole package. Instead of them endorsing
-
the black candidate, they endorsed Abigail Spanberger,
-
a baby killer, a modern day Margaret Sanger. That's who
-
they supported. Now when the so-called organization is
-
supposed to, you know, advance the cause of colored
-
people, can't support the black candidate because
-
they're Republican? That means that that organization
-
has become defunct. I despise the NAACP with the
-
perfect hatred. You have lost your mission and you've
-
lost your agenda and the hand of God is against you
-
because of your error and your wrongdoing. My name is
-
John Amanchukwu and I approve that message. That's
-
the way I feel about that. That's the way that I feel
-
about that. Number five, Alice Bailey said, "Make
-
divorce easy and legal, free people from the concept of
-
marriage for life." We live in a day where you get
-
divorced simply because you're not happy. Because
-
marriage is about being happy. Right? Gotta be happy
-
every day. Well, I'm not happy, or... Or you become
-
Aisha Curry, married to a four-time NBA
-
champion. He purports to be a decent and
-
clean man. Now, I don't like his politics, but he seems
-
like he's a very much so involved dad who supports a
-
nuclear family. But she goes on a campaign to demonize
-
him and show that she didn't want to have children,
-
didn't want to get married, didn't want to do this,
-
didn't want to do that, and she's sitting there as a
-
multi-millionaire. I mean, how awful can you be? She's
-
not happy, so therefore she's gonna tear down her
-
home in the name of getting back at him because she
-
never just wanted to be a wife or a homemaker or
-
support the work that God has given him. Hear me
-
today. There are many people today who want to get
-
married, but they don't want the function that comes
-
along with it. They want 20 bridesmaids, up some
-
beautiful pictures, a wonderful moment. They want
-
to post it for the world to see. But when when the band
-
goes away, and when people go home, and you have to
-
conform as one flesh and adhere to what God has set
-
in place, trouble ensues. Let me move on. I'm losing
-
my amen corner. Number six, Alice Bailey said make
-
homosexuality an alternative lifestyle. Y'all already
-
know what happens when you do that. Genesis 1:26, 27,
-
28. We see there we're made in the image of God. We see
-
there where if you do it God's way with the male and
-
female construct, you can replenish the earth, be
-
fruitful and multiply. Anything that keeps you from
-
doing so is not a lifestyle, it's a death style. Life
-
comes about when you do it God's way. You're gonna need
-
a seed, and you're gonna need some eggs. Too much
-
seeds, you won't have any babies. Too many eggs, you
-
won't have any babies. It's only when you do it God's
-
way (audience applauding) that the opportunity for a
-
life coming forward can take place. Number seven, she
-
said, "Debase art and make it run mad." In other words,
-
she said, "Use things, even the theaters, even theater
-
and arts to push your agenda." Number eight, she
-
said, "Use the media to promote "and change
-
mindsets." We call it the fake news. The media
-
typically reports what they want you to know about a
-
story. They always have their narrative. And there's
-
a media strategy called jamming. They know how to
-
put something in front of you long enough until you
-
become desensitized towards it. How do we convince
-
people to support new age abortion laws? Jam them up,
-
put it before them. Talk about a woman's right to
-
choose. How do we convince people to embrace
-
transgenderism? Convince people that, you know, we
-
should, we should be tolerant. We should be
-
accepting. We should allow people to belong and we
-
shouldn't judge. Don't judge. God didn't call us to
-
judge. Don't, don't, don't judge. No, no, no, that's
-
not what it says. Judge not lest you be judged. Which is
-
the same measure you meet out. So I can't be out here,
-
and I'm secretly a trans gender Preaching against
-
transgenders. How you gonna do that if you're one?
-
That's what that text means. It doesn't mean we can't
-
call out iniquity and sin. The Bible says, "Mark those
-
who cause divisions contrary to the gospel, to the
-
doctrine." In other words, point it out. But today,
-
when you point stuff out, instead of people fighting
-
the issues, they fight the fighters. They fight the
-
people who fight. They remind me of David's
-
brothers. David's brothers would not fight. But when
-
David showed up to the Valley of Elah ready to
-
fight, bringing some lunch, they wanted to convince him
-
not to fight. No, we need to support the fighters. That's
-
why I support your pastor. What he's doing with this
-
project with media and the books, the cartoons, the
-
comics, don't, don't fight the fighter, support the
-
fighter. I'm going to do everything I possibly can to
-
support him in his work because we need it as never
-
before. And number nine, she said create an interfaith
-
movement. Put Christianity on equal par with all other
-
faiths. That means that the Christian is going to the
-
same place as the Buddhist, as the Islamist, as those
-
who believe in Reverend Sun Yon Moon, and so forth and
-
so on. But we have this pesky scripture that tells
-
us that I'm the way, the truth, and the life, and no
-
man come to the Father but by me. Now what are you
-
gonna do with that? I'm not going to the same place as
-
the Islamist, as the Buddhist, as the person who
-
serves Big Belly Buddha. We're not going to the same
-
place. I'm on my way to heaven. And I heard a song
-
say, it said, "None but the righteous shall see God." If
-
you believe that in this place, give God a hand clap
-
of praise. Nothing but the righteous shall see God. And
-
number 10, number 10, number 10. The last thing that
-
Alice Bailey said is this. She said, "Get governments
-
to make all these law." Y'all ready for the
-
clincher? And then get the church, the ecclesia, to
-
endorse these changes. I just summarized and gave you
-
a clear viewpoint of why we're in the mess today in
-
this country, that we are. And the church is constantly
-
bending over for points one through nine. Bending over,
-
tuck-tailing and running, won't touch issues with a
-
10-foot pole, afraid to offend. Let me tell you
-
something, everybody in this place, you know this to be
-
the truth, that before you got saved, the preacher
-
preached and it convicted you. You don't get saved for
-
any other reason but conviction. When my mind
-
goes back to that low place that I was in sin, chasing
-
after youthful lusts, it was the preached Word of God. It
-
was the preacher stepping on my toes and just, I mean,
-
just driving his foot upon my toes. It was a prick that
-
convicted me. The word is a prick, it's sharp. That's
-
what Saul said on the road to Damascus. The Lord was
-
speaking to him and told him, "It's hard for you to
-
kick against a prick." That's what God says to him,
-
"It's hard for you to kick against a prick." What's the
-
prick? It's the conviction. It's what he had seen and
-
heard. Through the martyrdom of Stephen, you can't fight
-
against it. And if you are not convicted of sin, then
-
you can't get saved. We have too many people claiming to
-
know Jesus as Lord and Savior and you experience no
-
conviction. It takes conviction to make a man
-
say, "What must I do to be saved?" It takes conviction
-
to make a man who's strung out on coke and dope and
-
using all kinds of alcohol to soothe himself, it takes
-
conviction to make him put that bottle down and say man
-
I desire more than a pint of liquor. I need to know Jesus
-
as my personal Savior and when you move from
-
conviction to a confirmation towards the gospel then God
-
gives you power to remove that vice and that cord that
-
has you bound. Anybody ever been bound before him? But
-
conviction is a thing that would get you out. So this is the
-
point that John seeks to make, my friends, in John 20:19
-
that when Jesus is no longer in the midst of
-
the church, present and visible as he was with his
-
disciples, it's easy for fear to creep in. That's
-
what we see the disciples today in our main text.
-
They're fearful, they're afraid because Jesus is
-
gone. They don't know what to do. They may be the next
-
ones to be killed. They may be the next Charlie Kirk.
-
They may be the next person who the enemy may seek to
-
take away. On the night that Peter was set free from
-
prison by the angel of the Lord, according to Acts 12,
-
verse 13, the Bible says that Peter knocked at the
-
door of the gate and a damsel came and opened the
-
door named Rhoda. In Mark chapter 2, four men who were
Mark 2 chapter mention
-
carrying a paralytic man were hampered from entering
-
into the front door of the house, so they tore the roof
-
off in order to get to Jesus. In Luke 13:25,
-
follow me here. While Jesus was preaching about the
-
straight gate, he says, "When the master of the
-
house has locked the door, "it will be too late. "He
-
will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Lord, open
-
the door for us.' But he will reply, 'I don't know you, oh,
-
where you come from?'" In John chapter 10:9,
-
it says that, "I am the door, by me if any
-
man enter in, he shall be saved, he shall go in and
-
out, and he shall also find pasture." But in verse 19 of
-
John 20, "While it was getting late in the evening,
-
Jesus doesn't knock on the door, nor does he rip open
-
the roof, but he defies the laws of physics by divinely
-
teleporting into the upper room. Without a door being
-
opened, without a frame being moved, Jesus just
-
shows up in the midst of their fear. And when Jesus
-
shows up, he always brings peace. His presence, his
-
mere presence is peaceful. The text says that they were
-
assembled for the fear of the Jews. They were together
-
in that upper room, prepared because they didn't know
-
what would happen next. Hear me today, church. Fear in
-
the Greek is the word phobos, which is where we
-
get the English word phobia. And a phobia is an extreme,
-
irrational, or unnecessary fear. It's the fear that
-
people felt during the pandemic. I mean the
-
pandemic. It's the fear of going into the house of God
-
and fulfilling God's command that we not forsake the
-
assembling of ourselves together. It's a fear that's
-
conjured up in one's mind due to the lack of trust,
-
belief, and failure to conquer the unknown. As I
-
speak, there are over 1,000 known phobias. And this list
-
grows daily. To list a few, you have autophobia, which
-
is the fear of heights and mountains. I don't tell this
-
often, but... (audience laughing) I have about, at
-
times, with autophobia. Isn't that something God
-
made me six foot four? (audience laughing) And I
-
don't like driving up mountains, I don't like
-
riding down mountains, the Bible doesn't tell us to do
-
that. (audience laughing) The Bible doesn't say drive
-
up a mountain. Or drive down a mountain. It says speak to
-
the mountain. See, that's the problem. We driving up
-
things that we should be speaking to. Y'all bear with
-
my humor on this morning. Then you have teleophobia,
-
which is the fear of religious ceremonies. The
-
fear of going to church. Ladies, if you are dating a
-
guy who has telephobia, leave him alone. Fellas, she
-
has a slim waist, it came from the factory and
-
everything in between. But if she doesn't want to go to
-
the house of the Lord, leave her, leave her where she is.
-
Can I get a witness in here? Oh Lord. Let me stop, let me
-
stop. Then you have a maxophobia, which is the
-
fear of riding or driving cars. I have an aunt who has
-
a maxophobia. If you put her in your vehicle, make sure
-
you have gap insurance. She's gonna tear your car
-
up. From point A to point B. Then you have aerophobia,
-
which is the fear of swallowing air. (audience laughing)
-
Then you have palatophobia, which is the
-
fear, and don't laugh at this one, of bald people.
-
(audience laughing) The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh
-
away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Let me tell you,
-
this is a Gillette special. Gillette, the best a man can
-
get. 15 strokes to the back in the shower and I'm good.
-
Then you have falacrophobia, which is the fear of
-
becoming bald. Then you have calligraphobia, and this
-
phobia comes with the demon. It's the fear of beautiful
-
women. Why a person would be afraid of a beautiful woman
-
or doesn't make sense to me. Then you have lochiophobia,
-
which is the fear of childbirth. And then you
-
have gamophobia, which is the fear of marriage. Some
-
folk want a date for five and eight and ten years. Let
-
me tell you something, when a man, when a man loves a
-
woman. I'm gonna stop. When a man loves a woman... I
-
don't know the words. I'm teasing. But it doesn't take
-
him five years to figure out if she's the one. And vice
-
versa. It's almost like, you know, when you see that
-
person, you meet them, God gets to speaking. You know,
-
because as a man, we are called to pursue and to go
-
find that bride, that woman. But if you're dating for
-
5 and 8 and 10 years, something is wrong. Doesn't
-
take a man that long, 'cause matter of fact, if he really
-
loves you, he's going to want to take you off the
-
market. And claim you. Have you ever gone to a
-
dealership before, wanted to get a vehicle, and you maybe
-
you came too late, and they were getting ready to close
-
up, but you saw the car that you wanted. They say, "Well
-
yeah, you can get it, but you have to put a down
-
payment on it. You have to take it off the market, take
-
it off the lot, or you can set it aside and no one else
-
can look at it until you purchase it." When a man
-
loves a woman affectionately, and she is
-
the only woman that he desires for the rest of his
-
days, he claims that woman. Now men who play and toy
-
with you, they'll date you forever and never consider
-
marrying you. And so therefore y'all live
-
together same home. Oh, I'm preaching in the culture.
-
365 days a year in the same home, 366 in a leap year.
-
Without getting married. Something's wrong with that.
-
And ladies should not allow it and neither should men.
-
In verse 19 of our text, the disciples were contending
-
with their own unnecessary phobia. They feared that the
-
Jews would kill them in the same fashion that they
-
killed Jesus. Nevertheless, their fear was flawed. They
-
had a flawed sense of fear. In Luke 12, verse five,
-
Jesus says, "But I will forewarn you whom you shall
-
fear. Fear him which after he hath killed hath power to
-
cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, fear him." Charlie
-
Kirk had the opportunity to write the foreword for my
-
last book. And initially when I asked him to do it, I
-
didn't think he would do it because of his busy
-
schedule, but he did it. And in the foreword, he talks
-
about the fact that he had to witness so many pastors
-
cave during the pandemic. And why would you want to
-
follow a Christian who's afraid of death? Do you not
-
know what we get where we go in whose presence we are?
-
When we leave this place, to be absent from the body is
-
to be present with the Lord. We get streets paved in
-
gold, 12 gates that lead to the city. We're going to
-
drink from the crystal fountain. And guess what?
-
There's a bowl in heaven that the world can't
-
pervert. See, the rainbow has been perverted by the
-
culture and God's rainbow, it naturally occurs in
-
nature. It has seven colors based upon the Roy G. Biv
-
system. Red, orange, yellow, y'all know it? Indigo
-
valley. But the woke mob took out the color indigo,
-
which represents God. So they want our symbols, but
-
they don't want the Son of God. But when we get to
-
heaven, there's another bow that will be above the
-
throne of God. And this bow is an emerald bow. And this
-
bow will only be seen by those who have confessed and
-
professed the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
-
(audience applauding) We should not fear death
-
because death moves us closer to our redemption.
-
Psalm 25:14 says, "The secret of the Lord is
-
with them that fear him, "and he will show him his
-
covenant." Psalm 27 says, "The Lord is my light and my
-
salvation. "Whom shall I fear? "The Lord is the
-
strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid when the
-
wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat
-
up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Saints of God, I
-
know what it's like to feel walls closing in on you,
-
sensing and wondering if today will be your last day.
-
I've led a national campaign in 23 states, traveling from
-
state to state in school boards meeting to school
-
board meeting, fighting against gender theory and
-
queer theory and critical race theory and the false
-
triune idol of diversity, equity and inclusion. Now I
-
call it a false triune idol because it mimics the
-
Trinity. In the Trinity you have Father, Son and Holy
-
Spirit. And DEI is diversity, equity and
-
inclusion. And if you do not bow to the sacred cow of
-
DEI, they will cancel you and try to de-platform you.
-
I have fought against these things. I've even been
-
handcuffed as Pastor Hank mentioned, solely for
-
standing up for children and making sure that they do not
-
become perverted by the culture. I know what it's
-
like to feel fear, to wonder how people will respond
-
because now a preacher is now being handcuffed. But
-
the Holy Spirit tells me to keep going, keep fighting,
-
keep contending, keep preaching, keep standing,
-
keep serving, keep leading. I know what it's like to go
-
to Maryland, speak at a school board meeting there.
-
And when I show up to speak and put my name on the
-
paper, everyone starts to tremble. You see, in
-
biblical times when the prophets showed up, less
-
people came out. In modern times when the prophet shows
-
up, more people come out. And the reason is, is
-
because when the prophet showed up, you wanted to
-
know if it was well, because the prophet would send forth
-
the judgment of God. Man, I came to the school board
-
meeting in Baltimore and keep in mind, Baltimore has
-
a black governor, a black mayor in Baltimore,
-
Maryland. The school board is predominantly black, law
-
enforcement predominantly black, the CEO of schools
-
makes $479,000 a year, but the kids can't read or
-
write, which is intentional. They are intentionally
-
keeping these students suppressed and dumbed down
-
in many of the urban cities in our country. How do you
-
keep people as useful tools to your agenda? You make
-
sure that they are low information thinkers so that
-
they might become low information voters. It's
-
intentional. It's intentional. And when I
-
prepared to speak, the chairman of the board says,
-
"Hey, we need to call a recess." Then they come back
-
from the recess and they say, "Hey, we have a
-
citywide emergency. We have a threat in the room."
-
Somebody gonna catch that next week. They say, "We
-
have a citywide emergency. There's a threat in the
-
room, and we need to evacuate." And who was the
-
citywide emergency? Who was the threat in the room? Let
-
me tell you something, every time you go out to the
-
battlefield, you are a threat. Shabbat. To the plan
-
of Satan. Every time you contend for the faith, you
-
are a threat to the plan of the devil. Every time you
-
lift your voice as a trumpet in Zion, you are a threat to
-
the plans of the devil. When you open your mouth in this
-
culture and declare that Jesus is Lord, you are a
-
threat. Can I get at least 50 people in here this
-
morning to open up your mouth, give God some glory,
-
give God some praise, and let the world see that you
-
are a threat. To Satan's camp, come on in this place,
-
open up your mouth. You've got a weapon in your mouth.
-
Come on and praise his holy name. Every time we open up
-
our mouth and make a divine declaration, a divine
-
declaration, we serve notice to Satan. They were not
-
afraid of John in that moment in Baltimore. They
-
were not afraid of me reading from a pornographic
-
book. They were not afraid of a black Christian
-
conservative, even though they are primarily
-
Democrats. They were afraid that I came into that room
-
armed and dangerous. Shabbat locked and loaded. Can I get
-
a witness in here? Can I get somebody to wave your Bible?
-
Every time I feel the Holy Ghost in this place. Lord,
-
have mercy. I'm locked and I'm loaded. And I'm ready
-
for war. Come on. Get the pictures of people holding
-
up their Bibles. Hold up your weapon. The weapons of
-
our warfare are not counter, but are mighty. Look at
-
somebody and shout mighty through God to the pulling
-
down of strongholds. Y'all want to pull some stuff down
-
this morning? Anybody want to pull some stuff down this
-
morning? We pull down fear. Pull it down. Hey, shabbat.
-
We pull down discouragement. Pull that thing down. We
-
pull down doubt. Thank you, Jesus. We pull down the
-
spirit of perversion. We pull down the spirit of
-
cowardice. We pull down the spirit of rebellion. In the
-
name of Jesus. We got one more. We pull down the
-
spirit of apathy. No weapon, formed against you shall
-
prosper. Ever return, Lord have mercy, ever return,
-
risen in judgment shall be condemned. You are
-
dangerous. You better not see yourself as being
-
defeated because God has made you dangerous. You are
-
a threat to the enemy's camp. Greater is he that
-
sinned you than he that sinned the world. Come on
-
and clap your hands for Jesus in this place. I'm
-
finished. I'm finished. God gave them peace. He gave
-
them proof and he gave them power. The Holy Spirit be
-
upon you. May you go forth this week and be dangerous
-
knowing that you're locked and loaded by the power of
-
the Holy Ghost. God God bless you this morning.
-
- Come on give God a big shout. Come on shout unto God with
-
the voice of triumph. Come on lift up your voice. Those
-
of you that are watching around the world lift up
-
your voice. Come on clap your hands. All you people
-
and shout, shout, shout, shout, shout, shout. There's
-
victory. There's victory in the house of the Lord.
-
There's victory in your house. Come on. Come
-
on. [speaking in tongues] Oh, Father, we worship and
-
bless you. We thank you, Father, this is sealed in
-
the name of Yeshua. And Father, as we go into this
-
week, even on Wednesday to recapture a generation, we
-
prophesy over us that no spell, incantation, nothing
-
of witchcraft, divination, where our names are being
-
mentioned, it shall not prosper, and we call upon
-
the fire, the judgment of God against every curse and
-
every assignment. We break it. We are sealed in our
-
covenant of blood, the blood of Yeshua. [speaking in tongues]
-
And I declare over us a permanent covenant
-
boundary line of the blood of the Lamb of God, Yeshua,
-
around us, upon us, upon our loved ones, and all that has
-
been entrusted in our hands. And nothing of evil is
-
allowed to penetrate it. It's off limits. This is our
-
heritage. We are healthy, we are whole, and we are
-
redeemed because of the Lamb's blood. From all
-
destruction, sickness, disease, tragedy, calamity,
-
or trauma, we are preserved in our covenant. Thank you,
-
God. Thank you, Lord. If you agree with that, say amen.
-
Wasn't that powerful? Pastor Doug, come, wow. All
-
right, well listen, I'll see you tomorrow on Flashpoint
-
Tuesday, and then also Wednesday. We're gonna tear
-
it up. And I hope I can talk to some of you on the phone.
-
It'd be a lot of fun. But help me believe we're gonna
-
get it done for God and for the children. Amen, Pastor
-
Doug. Please, hey, let me just say this. Don't go walk
-
around unless you have to. It's very disrespectful to
-
God and to someone whose life might need to be
-
touched and saved. Unless you absolutely have to
-
leave, you give Pastor Doug and God just a few more
-
minutes. He's not going to take long. Amen? Amen. I
-
want to be a better church at that. Last week I was
-
grieved. I walked in the back. I said, "Holy Spirit,
-
that is unacceptable." Can you imagine if this was your
-
moment to get saved? And God has been running after you
-
your whole life, and finally you surrender and people
-
start walking out? Well, answer to God. Let's get
-
better about that. Now, if you have to leave or
-
whatever, then do it. But I think we need to honor God
-
and respect the person who stands behind the pulpit.
-
Amen? God bless you. Thank you, church, you're great.
-
- Amen, praise God. Well, hey, I'm
-
fired up, how about you? (congregation applauding)
-
Let me just mention, because I'm
-
thinking of it right now, you can be seated for just a
-
moment, that if you're interested in doing what
-
Brother John does and confronting school boards or
-
learning how to do it, or you would just wanna pray
-
for those that are going out, we have groups that
-
we're setting up, it's called the Hammer and Sword
-
Ministry, and I talked about it a couple Wednesday nights
-
ago, but if you're involved or want to be involved in
-
that, go to the information center, just give them your
-
name, say I want to be involved in Hammer and
-
Sword, and someone will get in touch with you about
-
that, and we won't send you out to the school boards
-
without training, you'll go as a group, but you're gonna
-
learn to speak up on behalf of the children, so just
-
another opportunity if you'd like to get involved with
-
that. I wanted to mention that this morning. Ushers,
-
if you would be in the aisles now, if what I'd like
-
to do at this point, we want to bless Brother John. What
-
a message, what a mission he has. And online also, we'll
-
put the giving information up. And we're going to
-
receive an offering for him today. Whatever you can do
-
to help defray the expenses of having him here. How many
-
of you would say it was worth bringing him in today
-
to get a recharge? We need a recharge in this area, in
-
some of those basics. So let's bless him today. And
-
you can make your payment, your giving, your offering
-
to Lord of Hosts, and then we'll make sure that we
-
bless him and take care of travel expense and
-
everything to get him in here. And how many of you
-
would like to see him come back again? So let's bless
-
him real good today. Thank you for doing that. And
-
while ushers are finishing up receiving, if you're
-
online, just go ahead and give however you normally
-
give. And there will be a drop down in there for guest
-
speaker. And if you put it in there, guest speaker,
-
drop down, we'll make sure that that offering is taken
-
care of and Brother John is blessed. Amen. Well, he
-
preached the gospel today. I don't really need to go into
-
too much of that. I mean, when he talked about none
-
but the righteous shall see God and he talked about
-
blessed are those that are pure in heart for they shall
-
see God, that really described salvation and the
-
fact that every person, I wanted to bring that up
-
today, every person that's born on this earth, and
-
every person that's alive today, has to make a
-
decision one way or another. And if you don't make a
-
decision for Jesus Christ, you've already made a
-
decision to follow the devil and his plan. And it might
-
be under the form of Buddha, it might be under the form
-
of Allah, maybe it would just be an atheist saying,
-
"I don't believe in anything." But if you don't
-
follow Jesus, you've already made a decision. But the
-
good news is that God gives us the ability to make that
-
decision, doesn't He? And we can do that. And I want to
-
give you, everyone here watching and those that are
-
online today, an opportunity. I wouldn't want
-
you to leave this place without knowing 100% that
-
when you depart this earth, you're going to heaven.
-
Brother Arlie over here told me a sad story. His
-
43-year-old niece was taken out in a car accident, I
-
believe. Is that right? It just happened a couple days
-
ago. 43 years old, she was in a terrible car accident.
-
Fortunately, she went home to be with the Lord. She was
-
at a funeral that was held here about probably three
-
years ago. And she accepted the Lord during that time.
-
So praise God, she was on her way to heaven. Now she's
-
rejoicing in heaven. So we have to make that decision
-
while we're alive. You can't take it for granted. Every
-
day you have to be thankful that you're alive and can
-
fulfill what God's called you to do. But then be
-
ready. Be ready. We need to be ready so that whenever
-
you leave, every day we're closer to going home with
-
Him. Whenever that day happens, you can be in
-
eternity with Him. So bow your heads with me. I think
-
the ushers have pretty much received the offering now.
-
If there's anyone here today and you say, Pastor Doug, I
-
haven't made that decision, I'm not 100% sure that if I
-
was to leave this earth, if I was to be in a terrible
-
car accident and just leave this earth this week, I'm
-
not 100% sure I'd be in heaven. I need to know that.
-
If you need to know that today, you can know that
-
today. You can be assured today before you leave here
-
that you have a place in heaven and you'll be there
-
for eternity. We should shun hell and look forward to
-
heaven. That should be what we're doing. And if that's
-
you today and you say, "I need prayer," that's where
-
it starts. It's just a simple prayer. I'm going to
-
pray with you today. It's a simple thing. We're not
-
going to embarrass you, but I want you to have the
-
opportunity to pray. And wherever you're at, even at
-
home, you can pray with us. But here's what I want you
-
to do. I'm going to count to three. And if you're saying,
-
"Pastor Doug, I need that prayer you're talking about.
-
I need to know that I'm going to heaven. I need to
-
make sure that hell is not in my future. I want to
-
serve God because He has a wonderful plan for each of
-
us. He has a destiny, a plan. He'll bless you with
-
healing, with prosperity, with relationships. He'll
-
bless you in your life, but you have to learn to make a
-
decision to follow Him. And that's what we're doing
-
today. You're making a decision to follow Christ.
-
And if that's you and you want prayer this morning,
-
I'm going to ask you when I count to three to raise your
-
hand. We're going to have you raise your hand quickly,
-
and I'm going to pray for you. One, two, three. If
-
that's you, you need prayer. I see a hand down here. I
-
see another one over here. Is there another? And
-
someone in the stadium seats. I see another one up
-
here. You need Jesus this morning. You say, I want
-
Jesus. I'm going to ask you to even be bolder. I'm going
-
to ask you to stand up where you're at right now. Stand
-
up, please. If you raise your hand, stand up. And I'm
-
going to ask you to get out of your seat, come to the
-
nearest aisle, and just come right down here to me today.
-
Give them a hand as they come. Give them a hand.
-
Thank you. Thank you from the stadium seats. We'll
-
wait for you. If you're with friends, they'll wait. Come
-
down here this morning. Just face me. That's great. Thank
-
you, sir, for doing that. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you,
-
little one. Thank you for coming today. Thank you for
-
coming, guys. I want to just make sure...
-
is there anyone else you need to come? Anyone else?
-
We're waiting. Do you need to come? OK. OK. God is
-
proud of you today. The Bible says, when you come to
-
the Lord, heaven rejoices. Some of you may have
-
relatives that have went on to heaven already,
-
aunts, uncles, grandparents, whatever.
-
They're rejoicing today because they're seeing you
-
today. They're watching. When you go to heaven, you
-
witness what goes on in earth. And they're watching,
-
and they're seeing you today. And I'm so proud of
-
you. Every age group from - we've got from,
-
what, 5 years old to, I don't know,
-
probably 20 or 30, most of you at the oldest. 60? Up to
-
60. Oh, but what a wonderful thing to make a decision for
-
Him. And it just starts with a prayer. Starts with a
-
prayer, a prayer of repentance. The Bible says
-
we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
-
And that means we've all made mistakes. Every person
-
in this room and everyone in the world has fallen short.
-
None of us could get to heaven on our own. But what
-
we do is we bow down to Jesus. In other words, we
-
make Him the Lord. And we say, Jesus, you can take
-
away my sin. You can forgive me for sin. And you can
-
believe that. And then you receive it. And you receive
-
Him as Lord. That's what it amounts to. He went to the
-
cross of Calvary and died for us. And now you have the
-
opportunity to receive Him as your Lord. This will
-
change your life. Is this October 25th? 26th. I'm
-
always off one day. You know, the calendar goes so
-
fast. So October 26, 2025 is a day that will live in
-
infamy in your life. In other words, it's a day that
-
you'll never forget because it's a day that you received
-
Jesus. So never forget October 26. That's why I
-
have you come forward because it's a special
-
marker in your life. And I want you to follow Him now
-
as we pray this. But we're going to pray together. You
-
repeat after me. As I pray, you just repeat after me.
-
Father in heaven, thank you for sending Jesus. I believe
-
he went to the cross of Calvary, and I believe he
-
died for me. And the Bible says he was buried, and he
-
rose again from the dead on the third day. I believe
-
that. Jesus, I want to serve you. I ask you, be the Lord
-
of my life. Forgive me for sin in my life. Make me a
-
new creation, and I will serve you all the days of my
-
life. In Jesus' name I pray. Altar team, would you run up
-
here now? I want you to stand behind them and take
-
care of them. Our altar team is out here, and I had
-
forgot to ask them to come forward. They're going to
-
give you some information today. They're going to have
-
you fill out a little sheet of paper so that we can send
-
you a congratulations letter. We want to help you
-
in your walk today. And thank you again for doing
-
this. I just want to shake your hands as
-
congratulations. Thank you, son, for doing that. Thank
-
you, sir. Thank you, ma'am. I appreciate you making that
-
decision. Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate that. Thank you
-
for coming today. God bless you. God bless you, sir. God
-
bless you. Good to see you. Oh, thank you so much. Well,
-
I'm just excited about that. Isn't it worth waiting for
-
that? Yes. Praise God. Well, I have a couple
-
announcements, and then I'm going to let you go while
-
these folks are filling out the information and getting
-
everything taken care of. Also, I guess I forgot to
-
mention, if online you made that decision - did we put
-
up the prayer line already? I didn't
-
notice. Yeah, okay, it was up there. You can call that
-
prayer line, even if you're watching this archive and
-
this message touched your heart. You can call the
-
prayer line 24 hours a day and our prayer counselors
-
will send the same information that these are
-
receiving today. They'll pray with you and you'll
-
know that you're on your way to heaven also. So I just
-
wanted to mention that. Couple other things, don't
-
forget, Pastor Hank will be on Flashpoint this week, 7
-
o'clock Central Time. Don't miss that, Monday and
-
Tuesday. And then there's two events coming up on
-
November 13th that I wanted to mention to you. If you're
-
not a member of this church, and you say, I wanna get
-
involved in this church, I wanna serve in this church,
-
I feel like Lord of Hosts should be my church, then
-
you can sign up for membership seminar, which is
-
November 13th, and it's a Thursday evening, and then
-
we'll receive you in the following Sunday as a member
-
of Lord of Hosts. In order to serve here, in order to
-
work in the nursery, or greet, or usher, or do
-
anything like that, you have to be a member. So you can
-
go to the Information Center, sign up. We'll make
-
sure you're part of that class on Thursday, November
-
13th. Also, we have a special movie night that
-
same night. For those of you that are not in membership
-
class, the premiere of All is Merry and Bright, a
-
wonderful Christian family movie is happening, and Lord
-
of Hosts bought out a theater for that. We have
-
100 seats that are available at the ACX in Elkhorn, and
-
you can sign up for that. Information's on the screen.
-
You can download that QR code, scan it for tickets.
-
They're $12 a piece, better than what you'd pay if you
-
walk in and paid your own price, and just sign up and
-
show up, and that'll be a great time of fellowship and
-
just supporting. How many of you think we should support
-
good Christian movies? In fact, this one, this movie
-
actually has a physical healing in it that they
-
credit to God, which that doesn't usually happen in
-
movies anymore. Even in Christian movies, sometimes
-
they don't get that bold. So this one is worth
-
supporting. And I think that's pretty much it. Don't
-
forget, you heard a lot about Rescuing a Generation.
-
That's this coming Wednesday night, online only. So get
-
involved with that. A lot of things on the calendar. But
-
God bless you. Thank you again for waiting patiently.
-
Have a wonderful weekend. And we'll see you in the
-
house next Sunday. It'll be a wonderful time to be back
-
together. God bless you. Thank you, online audience,
-
for tuning in. Have a wonderful weekend.
