10/05/25 "Shift Change" Part 8

(UPBEAT MUSIC) -

GOOD MORNING, CHURCH. COME ON, LET'S GIVE HIM PRAISE THIS

MORNING. WE SERVE OUR GREAT GOD.

♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪

- LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU. - YES, LORD JESUS.

- AND WHAT AN HONOR IT IS TO BE IN YOUR HOUSE.

AND AS ALWAYS, YOU'RE THE MOST WELCOME GUEST.

- YES, LORD. - WE LOVE YOU.

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID--

- THAT'S A GOOD AMEN. I THINK THAT'S REALLY SHARP.

ALL RIGHT, WAS THAT-- SO LET ME ASK THE SOUND BOOTH.

DID YOU GUYS-- WAS THAT CANNED AMEN?

NO, IT WAS ACTUALLY YOU. YOU GUYS DID GREAT.

SO GIVE YOUR HAND-- SOMETHING, HAND CLAP.

LOOK AT THAT. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

IT MUST BE BECAUSE-- I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE REASON.

BECAUSE THANKSGIVING IS NEXT MONTH.

I DON'T KNOW. AND YOU'RE THANKFUL? SO ANYWAY.

- WE'RE THANKFUL ANYWAY. WE DON'T NEED A SPECIAL DAY TO BE

THANKFUL. - YEAH, WELL, THAT'S TRUE.

WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL ALL THE TIME.

-THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

- WELL, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE OUR SON MATT HERE TODAY.

YOU HAVE BEEN ON-- HE USES HIS VACATION TO

GO TO FOOTBALL GAMES. - THEY KNOW THAT.

THEY KNOW THAT.

- SO MATT, WHERE WERE YOU LAST WEEK?

- I WATCHED A VERY ABYSMAL PERFORMANCE WITH THAT, A TIE.

LIKE, WHY WOULD I SEE THAT? I DON'T KNOW.

- CHERYL'S DOWN THERE, SHE WAS THERE.

- WERE YOU DISAPPOINTED? - SOMEBODY WAS THERE?

WHO WAS THERE? - CHERYL, SHE'S RIGHT HERE.

- YOU WERE AT JURY WORLD TOO? - YES, SHE WAS.

-YEAH, IT WAS A HECK OF A GAME. I JUST, I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN GREEN BAY'S WON 10 OF THE LAST 11 AGAINST THE COWBOYS

AND TO PUT ON A PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT IN TIE,

- WELL, YOU HAVE SOME PICTURES TOO, RIGHT?

- WELL, IT WAS FUN TO HANG OUT WITH SUNIL, AND HE SENT HIS

GREETINGS. - HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER

SUNIL ISAAC? ACTUALLY, YOU OWE HIM A LOT, 'CAUSE HE LET YOU

STAY IN HIS HOUSE. - YES, I STAYED IN THEIR HOUSE,

BUT HE IS A COWBOYS FAN, BUT I SAID, "DUDE," I SAID, "JUST SO

YOU KNOW, "I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU." AND HE GOES, "WHAT IS

THAT?" I SAID, "WELL, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET A HALL OF

FAMER?" AND HE GOES, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

I SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, FAVRE'S GONNA BE THERE,

"AND HE'S A GOOD FRIEND OF OURS, AND YOU KNOW, HE'S GONNA BE

OUT THERE, HE'S FLYING IN, AND I SAID, JUST WATCH. AND HE

GOES, NO, YOU'RE KIDDING ME. AND I WAS LIKE, I'M SERIOUS.

SO HE SHOWS UP AND WE WALK IN AND THEY COULD START PUTTING

SOME OF THE PICTURES UP AND VIDEOS AND THINGS LIKE THAT,

BUT THEY'LL ROLL THROUGH SOME OF THESE.

BUT YEAH, THAT'S BRETT AND I RIGHT THERE.

AND IT WAS REALLY COOL TO SEE HIM AND JUST

BE ABLE TO CATCH UP AND KIND OF MESS WITH HIM AND STUFF.

YEAH, I HAD HIM LAUGH AND WE WERE DEFINITELY

CRACKING JOKES BACK AND FORTH, BUT YEAH.

OKAY, SO THIS, PASTOR MIKE, ACTUALLY, THAT CANVAS,

THAT WAS FROM TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO

WHEN WE HAD MY BIRTHDAY DINNER WITH BRETT

OUT IN MISSISSIPPI AND OFFICER HERRICK WAS WITH US.

AND PASTOR MIKE, YOU MADE THAT FOR ME IN A CANVAS.

WELL, I BROUGHT THAT AND BRETT GOES,

"HERE, LET ME SIGN THAT FOR YOU."

AND HE PUT, "LOVE YOU," TOO, MATT, "LOVE YOU, BRETT FAVRE."

BUT THEN SUNIL ACTUALLY GOT TO TALK WITH HIM.

NOW, BRETT AND DEANNA, HIS WIFE, WERE BIG FANS OF KIM

CLEMENT, PROPHET KIM CLEMENT, AND THAT'S HOW THEY

ALSO GOT INTO, YEAH, THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY, AND THEY

LOVE OUR MINISTRY WITH THAT. AND SO SUNIL WAS LIKE, "WELL, I

USED TO DRUM FOR KIM CLEMENT." AND HE GOES, "THEN I WENT AND

DRUMMED "FOR PASTOR HANK KUNNEMAN."

BRETT'S LIKE, "OH MY GOSH, I LOVE THE KUNNEMANS,"

AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

SO IT WAS REALLY COOL. THAT'S US OUTSIDE

OF JERRY WORLD AND HANGING OUT. AND SO ALL

OF THAT WAS WAY BETTER THAN THE END RESULT OF A TIE.

SO THERE'S, IT LITERALLY FELT LIKE WALKING OUT OF THAT

SERVICE. - LOOK AT THAT ONE. LOOK AT

THAT. - I THINK IT'S GREAT.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU-- - I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THESE.

THIS IS MY FIRST. - YEAH, THESE ARE REALLY FUN.

WE WERE CRACKING JOKES. -LET ME JUST DO THIS BECAUSE

WE HAVE A SERVICE. SO THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NOT FOOTBALL FANS--

- I FELT LIKE I WAS WALKING OUT OF CHURCH LIKE SUNDAY AT THE END

OF THAT GAME. - HERE'S WHY I WANTED

MATT TO SHARE, BECAUSE THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

NOT FOOTBALL FANS, AND I WANNA DO THIS,

I WANNA GREET THOSE OF YOU ALSO

THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD.

AGAIN, PUT IN THE COMMENTS WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING. HERE'S WHY.

DON'T EVER THINK THAT YOUR PRAYERS AREN'T BEING HEARD BY

GOD. - YES.

- AND GOD SAID SOMETHING, JESUS, UNLESS YOU

BECOME LIKE A CHILD, WHEN MATTHEW WAS FIVE YEARS OLD,

WE WOULD PRAY FOR THE FAMILY, AND HE WOULD SAY,

"I WANNA PRAY FOR BRETT FAVRE." LORD, BLESS BRETT FAVRE. I

WANT TO MEET BRETT FAVRE. I'M GOING TO MEET BRETT FAVRE, GOD.

LOOK AT WHAT GOD DID. SO NEVER, NEVER, EVER LIMIT WHAT

GOD CAN DO. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LISTEN--

- THAT WAS AN AWESOME TIME. WE LOVED IT. CAN I ASK ONE MORE

QUESTION? WHY DID YOU FEEL LIKE IT WAS YET A CHURCH MOMENT?

BECAUSE YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MINISTER,

AND THERE WAS JUST NEAT THINGS TO--

- WELL, IT WAS REALLY COOL TO JUST EVEN WATCH

HOW THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE.

BUT IN THAT MOMENT, WATCHING HOW BRETT ALSO

INTERACTED WITH THE FANS, AND THEN IN THAT MOMENT,

IT WAS JUST REALLY COOL, THOUGH, THAT I COULD MAKE THAT HAPPEN

FOR SUNIL, WHERE HE COULD BE ABLE TO MEET BRETT FAVRE.

- AND IT MEANT A LOT TO HIM. - IT DID. IT REALLY DID. AND

BRETT WAS LIKE, HEY, YOU GOT A TROY AIKMAN JERSEY ON. THAT'S

ONE OF MY BUDDIES. AND SO IT WAS JUST KIND OF A COOL THING.

- SO NEIL, YOU GOTTA COME BACK UP AND PLAY THE DRUMS

SOON. BUT THAT GAME, LEAVING, REALLY FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW,

WE'RE IN CHURCH, IT FELT LIKE, I WAS LIKE, WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S SO QUIET, NO ONE'S TALKING, NO ONE'S TRASH TALKING.

IT'S LIKE COWBOY FANS AND PACKER FANS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

- IT'S BECAUSE ALL OF US UNDERSTAND,

YOU GO TO A GAME, DECLARED WINNER, NOT A TIE.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S MOVE THIS UP.

NOW, HERE'S THE THING, I'VE GOT A GREAT WORD

IN MY MOUTH TODAY, AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT.

WE'RE GONNA TALK SOME MORE ABOUT THE FOUNDATION OF LOVE

AND HONOR AND HOW THEY'RE PART OF THE SHIFT CHANGE.

AND GOD IS DOING THIS, SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU STAY

CONNECTED. AND THE OTHER THING IS WE HAVE HOLY COMMUNION

THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HELP TO ADMINISTER TODAY.

- YES, I GOT SOMETHING TO SHARE ABOUT THAT.

- AND SO YOU HAVE TIME, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

TO GATHER THE COMMUNION ELEMENTS TOGETHER

SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A GREAT TIME AS THE BODY OF CHRIST.

ALRIGHT WELL I AM READY TO WORSHIP THE LORD.

- I THINK WE SHOULD. - I THOUGHT I SAW HOLLY OUT.

FROM FLORIDA, ARE YOU GUYS BACK FROM FLORIDA?

- VISITING. - MAN! THANK YOU.

YOU MISS NEBRASKA FALL. THAT IS WHAT IT IS.

SO USHERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT PUT THEM IN CUFFS. THEY ARE NOT

GOING BACK. YOU ARE GOING TO NOT LET THEM GO BACK.

WE DO MISS YOU, BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK. WE LOVE YOU.

- AMEN, AMEN. ALL RIGHT. WELL, PASTOR MATT, WOULD YOU PRAY

OVER THE PEOPLE AND PRAY OVER THE SERVICE?

- WELL, DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU,

LORD, FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON IN THIS ROOM AND WATCHING

ACROSS THE WORLD, LORD. AND WE JUST THANK YOU, LORD, THAT

YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR HAND OF BLESSING UPON EACH AND EVERY

PERSON. LORD, GIVE THEM FAVOR. GIVE THEM TREMENDOUS, LORD.

JUST ANSWER PRAYER, LORD, THAT THE SEASON

OF CYCLES, LORD, ARE BREAKING IN THEIR LIFE, LORD, THAT

THEY ARE STEPPING INTO THE NEW AND A NEW SEASON, LORD, OVER

THEIR LIVES. IN JESUS' NAME, BLESS THE SERVICE WE DECLARE

AN ANOINTING AND A SUPERNATURAL GRACE COMES INTO THIS ROOM

AND INTO THOSE SCREENS AS WELL. IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN.

- AMEN. ALL RIGHT, THROW THOSE HANDS UP.

SAY THIS, SAY, "LORD, I'M GOING TO WORSHIP LOUD. I'M GOING TO

WORSHIP STRONG. I'M GOING TO BE RAZOR FOCUSED ON EVERYTHING YOU

HAVE FOR ME." COME ON, SHOUT LIKE YOU'RE EXCITED AND

LET'S PRAISE THE LORD. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

COME ON, IF YOU NEED PRAYER, COME ON, KEEP PRAYING IN

TONGUES. IF YOU NEED PRAYER, LIFT YOUR HANDS UP.

I PRAY FOR THOSE ONLINE. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WE MAKE INTERCESSION TODAY WITH GROANINGS

THAT CANNOT BE UTTERED. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY, OR PRAY AND WHAT TO PRAY

FOR, PRAY IN TONGUES. [PRAYING IN TONGUES]

NOW TELL THEM, BE BLESSED IN THE NAME OF JESUS. HALLELUJAH.

ALL RIGHT, IF YOU'RE NOT FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST,

AND YOU'RE IN HERE AND YOU SAID, I'VE NEVER PRAYED IN

TONGUES LIKE THAT, I'VE NEVER PRAYED IN TONGUES.

WELL, DON'T BE SHY, RUN TO THE FRONT. COME ON, DON'T DELAY.

DON'T DELAY, IF THAT'S YOU AND YOU SAY,

I WANNA BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST

AND PRAY IN TONGUES LIKE THAT, I NEVER HAVE. WELL

THEN, DON'T BE BASHFUL, RUN DOWN HERE. JUST RUN RIGHT ON

DOWN, AND LET'S GET SOME PEOPLE FILLED WITH THE HOLY

GHOST TODAY. COME ON, LET'S GET THEM FILLED WITH THE

HOLY, COME ON, ON A SUNDAY MORNING WITH THE WORLD

WATCHING. COME ON, DON'T BE BASHFUL. DON'T BE SHY. I

PROMISE YOU YOUR LIFE. COME ON, GIVE THESE PEOPLE A

GREAT BIG HAND THAT CAME DOWN. I BELIEVE THERE MIGHT

BE SOME MORE. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE? YOU'RE JUST

STILL A LITTLE NERVOUS. DON'T BE NERVOUS. THIS IS

THE BEST PLACE TO BE. COME ON, HERE COMES ANOTHER.

HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. ANY OTHERS? DON'T MISS YOUR

MOMENT. DON'T MISS YOUR MOMENT. COME ON, LET'S GET

SOME FOLKS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. HALLELUJAH. OH,

I'M GOING TO GET SOME OF OUR INTERCESSORS AND PRAYER

PEOPLE UP HERE. NOW YOU THAT CAME UP, JUST CHECK AND MAKE

SURE THEY'RE A NERVOUS, NOBODY ELSE THAT I MISSED. I

DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO MISS OUT. DO WE HAVE SOME OTHERS

COMING? ALL RIGHT. GIVE THESE PEOPLE A HAND. BLESS

YOU. BLESS YOU. GOT ONE MORE. COME ON. WHERE'S MY

PRAYER PEOPLE? I NEED ALL OF MY, OUR MINISTERS UP HERE.

IT'LL COME AND MINISTER IN THIS CROWD. YOU KNOW, I

THINK MORE PASTORS SHOULD GET PEOPLE FILLED WITH THE

HOLY SPIRIT ON A SUNDAY. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S AN

ANOINTING FOR IT. GOD DIDN'T WAIT TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE SOME

SECRET MEETING TO POUR OUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. YOU KNOW

THAT ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST, HE DID IT IN

PUBLIC BECAUSE EVERYBODY OUTSIDE HEARD IT. AMEN. SO

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE AT THE FRONT, I'M GOING TO

TELL YOU THIS, YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE TODAY.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO CHANGE. YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE

FOREVER. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. TOUCH

YOURSELF AND SAY, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

NOW, THE ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR BEING FILLED WITH THE

HOLY SPIRIT IS YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS.

AMEN. AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU, YOU

KNOW, I DON'T WANT THE DEVIL TO TRY ANYTHING THAT WOULD

KEEP YOU FROM RECEIVING TODAY, LIKE TELLING YOU,

WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A BAD SINNER, YOU'VE DONE ALL

THIS, YOU KNOW, YOUR LIFE IS MESSED UP, YOU MADE SO MANY

MISTAKES. WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK GOD FOR THE

BLOOD OF JESUS. WE'RE ALL SINNERS, RIGHT? WE'VE ALL

MESSED UP. BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS 3.10, THERE'S NOT ONE

RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE. WE ALL NEED SALVATION THROUGH

THE BLOOD OF JESUS, EVERY ONE OF US. SO DON'T LET THE

DEVIL TELL YOU TODAY YOU'RE NOT WORTHY TO RECEIVE. OKAY,

YOU DON'T BASE IT ON A FEELING, YOU BASE IT ON

FAITH. YOU MAKE DECISIONS. HOW MANY OF YOU UP IN THE

LINE AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE OUT HERE AND THOSE OF

YOU WATCHING, HOW MANY OF YOU MADE THE DECISION TO GET

UP AND COME TO CHURCH TODAY? NOW I WOULD BE FAILING IF I

DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT NOT EVERYBODY PROBABLY FELT LIKE

THEY WANTED TO GET UP AND BE HERE AT NINE O'CLOCK AND BE

DRESSED, RIGHT? BUT WE CHOSE. THIS IS HOW WE GET

FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THIS IS HOW WE'RE SAVED.

NOW FEELINGS FOLLOW, OKAY? SO YOU DON'T BASE YOUR

SALVATION ON HOW YOU FEEL. YOU BASE IT ON A DECISION

AND YOU ACT BY FAITH AND YOU MAKE THE STEP FORWARD. YOU

KNOW WHAT I'VE LEARNED IN 40 YEARS, OVER 40 YEARS OF

SERVING GOD, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT GOD WILL MEET YOU

EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A FAITH STEP. AMEN. AND YOU ALREADY

LOOK AT YOU. YOU ALREADY MADE FAITH STEPS TODAY.

AMEN. SO WE'RE GOING TO PRAY AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE

FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND I'M GOING TO SAY THIS TO

YOU AND YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK IN TONGUES TODAY.

AMEN. AND YOU GOT MINISTERS BEHIND YOU. THEY'RE GOING TO

HELP YOU. AND ALL OF THESE PEOPLE OUT HERE ARE GOING TO

HELP YOU. AND WE'RE GOING TO PRAY. AND IF YOU'RE ONLINE

AND YOU'RE RECEIVING TODAY AND YOU'VE NEVER PRAYED IN

TONGUES, I WANT YOU TO JUST JOIN THESE PEOPLE AS IF YOU

WERE STANDING DOWN HERE ON THE FLOOR. THEY'LL GET A

GOOD CAMERA SHOT DOWN HERE AND YOU JUST PRETEND LIKE

YOU'RE JUST STANDING RIGHT HERE AND YOU'RE GONNA

RECEIVE. AND WE'RE GONNA HELP YOU, HELP YOU GET IN A

POSITION WHERE YOU ARE CONFIDENT TO PRAY IN OTHER

TONGUES. SO LET'S PRAY A PRAYER. WE'RE GONNA PRAY THE

PRAYER OF SALVATION. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU KNOW

YOU'RE RIGHT WITH GOD, AMEN. SO THOSE OF YOU IN THE LINE,

I WANT YOU TO REPEAT, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND REPEAT THIS

PRAYER AFTER ME. MEAN IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART. THE

REST OUT THERE ARE GONNA PRAY IT WITH YOU. SAY, "DEAR

HEAVENLY FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR JESUS, "THAT HE DIED FOR

MY SINS, AND HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD. "HE IS SEATED IN

HEAVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. "JESUS, COME IN MY

HEART, FORGIVE ME OF EVERY SIN, FORGIVE ME OF ALL PAST

WRONGDOINGS, WASH ME IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS. AND JESUS, I

PUT YOU ON THE THRONE OF MY LIFE, I PLACE YOU IN

CONTROL, AND I AM ASKING YOU TO HELP ME FOLLOW YOU. I

COMMIT MY LIFE TO YOU, JESUS, AND I THANK YOU,

LORD, THAT I'M NOW A CHRISTIAN. I'M A CHILD OF

GOD. AMEN AND AMEN. NOW, IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER AND

YOU MEANT IT, ALL WRONGDOING AND SINS ARE PASSED AWAY AND

THERE IS NOTHING TO DISQUALIFY YOU FROM

RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A REAL

QUICK STORY. THE DISCIPLES, YOU KNOW, THEY DID A LOT OF

WRONG WHEN JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED. THEY RAN AND HID

AND WENT IN A ROOM AND LOCKED THE DOOR BECAUSE THEY

THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET ARRESTED. PETER EVEN

DENIED JESUS. AND JESUS CAME IN THROUGH A WALL AND FOUND

THEM. THINK ABOUT THAT. HE HAD TO COME IN THROUGH THE

WALL AND FIND THEM. AND THERE THEY WERE HUDDLED. YOU

KNOW, NOT ONE TIME DID HE SAY, WHY DID YOU DENY ME AND

DO ALL THAT? HE NEVER SAID THAT. THE ONLY THING THAT

CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH WAS PEACE TO YOU. AND HE

BREATHED ON THEM, GIVING THEM A NEW BIRTH EXPERIENCE.

SO I WANNA TELL YOU THAT'S TODAY. YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN

HIDING IN A ROOM, BUT GOD HAS WIPED ALL THAT AWAY

TODAY. HALLELUJAH. ISN'T THAT SO WONDERFUL? SO NOW

WE'RE GONNA RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. I WANT YOU TO CLOSE

YOUR EYES. NOW, AFTER WE PRAY THIS PRAYER, I DON'T

WANT YOU TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE IN YOUR NATURAL

LANGUAGE, ENGLISH, SPANISH, WHATEVER YOU SPEAK. I DON'T

WANT YOU TO SAY ANY OF THAT ANYMORE. YOU'RE GONNA MOVE

YOUR MOUTH AND YOUR TONGUE AND YOU'RE GONNA PRAY IN

TONGUES, OKAY? BUT WE'RE GONNA PRAY AND YOU'RE GONNA

ASK WITH ALL YOUR HEART FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BAPTIZE

YOU. ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THAT? ALRIGHT, SO PRAY,

CLOSE YOUR EYES, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE PERSON BESIDE YOU

OR ANY OF THESE PEOPLE OUT HERE. SAY THIS, SAY, "HOLY

SPIRIT, I'M A CHILD OF GOD. I ASK YOU TO FILL ME TODAY.

BAPTIZE ME IN THE HOLY GHOST JUST LIKE THE BOOK OF ACTS."

AND I FULLY EXPECT LIKE THEY DID THAT I WILL SPEAK WITH

OTHER TONGUES. BECAUSE YOUR SPIRIT IS GONNA REST ON ME

AND GIVE ME THAT UTTERANCE. AND I'LL STEP OUT, LORD, IN

FAITH, AND I KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL FILL MY MOUTH.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO BEGIN TO JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES. SOME

OF YOU, IF YOU WANT TO LIFT YOUR HANDS, JUST BEGIN TO

MOVE YOUR MOUTH AND TONGUES. DON'T UTTER ANYTHING IN

ENGLISH OR A NATURAL LANGUAGE. (PRAYING IN TONGUES) IF

YOUR LIPS JUST WANT TO MAKE SYLLABLES, MAKE SYLLABLES.

(PRAYING IN TONGUES) DO IT AS BOLD AS YOU

CAN. DON'T BE SHY TO HEAR YOURSELF. NOBODY'S

LISTENING, BUT GOD. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES) REMEMBER,

YOU CAN'T PRAY IN TONGUES WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED. YOU

CAN PRAY IN TONGUES WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN. (PRAYING IN

TONGUES) SO JUST MOVE THAT TONGUE AND MOVE THAT MOUTH A

LITTLE BIT. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES) COME ON, YOU'RE DOING IT. (SPEAKING

IN TONGUES) DON'T STOP. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

MOVE THAT MOUTH A LITTLE BIT. PASTOR'S COMING DOWN TO

LAY HANDS ON SOME OF YOU. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES) YEAH, YOU'RE DOING IT, GUYS. KEEP

DOING IT. COME ON, RAISE IT A LITTLE BIT. THOSE OF YOU ONLINE,

JUST BEGIN TO MOVE YOUR MOUTH AND MOVE YOUR TONGUE.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES) IF YOUR LIPS JUST WANNA HAVE

ONE SYLLABLE, THAT'S ALL. YOU NEED TO SPEAK OUT BY

FAITH. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES) LET GOD ADD TO IT. (SPEAKING

IN TONGUES) COME ON, EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM,

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT OUT LOUD. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

MAN, YOU GUYS ARE DOING IT, YOU'RE BEING BOLD.

(SPEAKING IN TONGUES) YOU'RE DOING GOOD.

YOU GUYS ARE DOING GOOD. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

HALLELUJAH. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH, COME ON, GIVE THESE GUYS A GREAT

BIG HAND. NOW THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE DOWN FRONT, THE

PRAYER MINISTERS ARE THERE, AND THEY CAN GET YOUR NAME,

AND THEY'LL BE THERE TO WORK WITH YOU AND HELP YOU. AND

BY THE WAY, YOU CAN PRAY IN TONGUES AS OFTEN AS YOU

WANT. SAY, "PASTOR BRENDA, WHAT IF I MADE ALL THOSE

LITTLE SOUNDS UP?" WELL, YOU MIGHT IN THE NATURAL THINK

THAT, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, YOU KEEP DOING THAT AND

THERE'LL COME A MOMENT, YOU'LL KNOW THAT IS STRAIGHT

FROM THE SPIRIT OF GOD. AMEN? ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE

GAVE YOU A LITTLE BOOKLET THERE AND THAT'LL HELP YOU

AND EXCHANGE THE NAME, MEET SOMEBODY, THEY'LL BE THERE

TO HELP YOU. IF YOU NEED MORE HELP OR MORE

INFORMATION OR YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW

BIRTH EXPERIENCE OR THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST,

WE'VE GOT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE. AND THOSE OF YOU

ONLINE, YOU CAN WRITE US, JUST GO TO THE WEBSITE AND

THERE'LL BE INFORMATION THERE AND WE CAN GET YOU

SOME HELP IN PRAYING IN TONGUES. ALL RIGHT, DO IT

ONE MORE TIME. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)

HALLELUJAH! YOU GUYS DID GOOD. ALL RIGHT, GIVE 'EM A

HAND AS THEY'RE SEATED. I WANT EVERYBODY NOW TO JUST

BE SEATED IN AN ATTITUDE OF WORSHIP, AND WE'RE GONNA

RECEIVE THE LORD'S SUPPER TOGETHER, AMEN. (SOFT MUSIC)

♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪

YOU SEATED. I WANT TO READ A SCRIPTURE TO YOU FOR

COMMUNION TODAY. I FEEL LIKE IT WAS SO IMPORTANT THE HOLY

SPIRIT DIRECTED ME. AND THIS IS THE COMMON SCRIPTURE THAT

IS USED DURING COMMUNION MEAL, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S

JUST SO APPROPRIATE FOR WHERE THE WORLD IS AND WHERE

OUR CULTURE IS RIGHT NOW. AND AS YOU'RE HOLDING THE

ELEMENTS IN YOUR HAND, LET ME READ THIS TO YOU. IT

SAYS, THIS IS 1 CORINTHIANS 11:26-31, IT

1 Corinthians 11:26–31

SAYS, "FOR OFTEN AS YOU EAT THIS BREAD AND DRINK THIS

CUP, YOU DO SHOW OR YOU'RE HONORING THE LORD'S DEATH

UNTIL HE COMES. VERSE 27, WHEREFORE, WHOSOEVER SHALL

EAT THIS BREAD AND DRINK THIS CUP OF THE LORD

UNWORTHILY, THAT SCRIPTURE JUST USED TO TERRIFY ME. I'D

READ THAT AND I'D THINK, LORD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT

MEANS, BUT HELP ME NOT DO IT. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER

THOUGHT THAT SAME THING? YOU THOUGHT, I JUST, I DON'T

KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT JUST HELP ME NOT DO IT, LORD. I

WAS ABOUT 15 WHEN I FIRST READ THAT SCRIPTURE. BUT IT

MEANS WITH DISRESPECT. YOU SHOULDN'T BE DISTRACTED. YOU

SHOULDN'T BE CHATTING WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR OR, YOU KNOW,

SCROLLING ON SOCIAL AND BEING, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO

BE RAZOR FOCUSED. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S TALKING ABOUT.

UNWORTHILY OR DISRESPECTFULLY SHALL BE

GUILTY OF THE BODY AND THE BLOOD OF THE LORD. HERE'S

THE PART I WANT YOU TO SEE. BUT LET A MAN OR A WOMAN

EXAMINE HIMSELF. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, THE

BIBLE SAYS IN 2 CORINTHIANS 13:5, IT SAYS THAT WE

2 Corinthians 13:5

SHOULD EXAMINE OURSELVES TO DECIDE OR DETERMINE IF WE'RE

REALLY IN THE FAITH OR NOT. AND IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT

BECAUSE WE'RE NOT IN A SELF-EXAMINING CULTURE, ARE

WE? IN FACT, IF YOU LOOK OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET

ANYWHERE, AND I'M NOT TALKING JUST SOCIAL, I'M

TALKING NEWS OR ANY PLACE, WEBSITES OF ALL KINDS,

PEOPLE LOVE TO EXAMINE THEIR FELLOW MAN. IT SAYS THAT

WE'RE TO EXAMINE OURSELVES BEFORE WE RECEIVE THE

COMMUNION MEAL. GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE CULTURE THAT'S ALL

... REALLY, IT'S EXAMINING OTHER PEOPLE WITH A CRITICAL

EYE AND ALWAYS HAVING SOME WAY TO POINT A FINGER OR

PLAY THE BLAME GAME. IT'S ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT.

THIS IS KIND OF HOW THE CULTURE'S GONE. AND YOU

KNOW, AS CHRISTIANS, YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT THE FACT

THAT WE HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL THAT WE DON'T GET

SWEPT UP IN THAT. COME IN, IT'S A TOP OF THE WAVE OUT

THERE. HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD AGREE WITH THAT? AND YET THE

SCRIPTURE WARNS HIGHLY THAT WE ARE TO EXAMINE OURSELVES.

AND YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT, I SAW SOME THINGS OUT

THERE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE. HOW MANY OF YOU JUST

HAVE FOLLOWED A LITTLE BIT OF ERICA KIRK SINCE CHARLIE

WENT ON TO HEAVEN? AND PEOPLE ARE JUST SO

MEAN-SPIRITED. I MEAN, EVERY CRITICISM HAS COME AGAINST

THAT WOMAN. EVERYTHING FROM CRITICIZING HER TO BE SOME

SECRET SATANIST. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE? I MEAN, ALL IN

THE NAME OF CHRIST. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN IT? I THINK

YOU'RE SEEING THE SAME THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN.

TELLING HER THAT THERE SHOULD BE A CERTAIN WAY

SHE'S SUPPOSED TO GRIEVE AND SHE'S NOT DOING IT RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I'M LIKE, WELL, WHO MADE YOU THE GRIEVING

POLICE? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU KNOW, I JUST

DON'T. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RULE BOOK ON HOW

TO MOURN OTHER THAN WHAT GOD SAID IN THE BIBLE. YOU KNOW,

THAT IF YOU WEAR MAKEUP OR DON'T WEAR MAKEUP, THAT IT

SIGNIFIES WHETHER YOU MOURNED RIGHT OR NOT. THAT'S

JUST FOOLISHNESS, FOLKS. THAT STUFF OUGHT TO NOT,

DON'T YOU AGREE THAT SHOULDN'T BE EVEN NAMED IN

THE CHURCH. BUT IT'S OUT THERE, AND YOU KNOW IT'S

JUST GOTTEN CRAZY HOW PEOPLE ARE JUST EXAMINING, YOU

KNOW, THEIR BROTHER AND NITPICK AND FUSS. YOU KNOW,

IN FACT, PASTOR HANK, I'LL TELL THIS STORY, PASTOR HANK

LIKES TO FOLLOW, HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER JIM FLOWERS

WHEN HE DID THE WEATHER? WELL, PASTOR SAYS HE'S STILL

THE BEST WEATHERMAN ON HIS WEBSITE. YOU KNOW, ALL OF

THE, I'M NOT CRITICIZING ALL OF THE GUYS ON TV, BUT JIM

GETS IT RIGHT. AND SO, ANYWAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, HE

HAD A POST OUT THERE, PASTOR SAW, BECAUSE WE ALWAYS CHECK

JIM'S WEATHER. AND STILL TO THIS DAY, HE'S BEEN RETIRED

FOR YEARS, BUT HE STILL DOES IT ONLINE HIMSELF. AND SO,

YOU KNOW, HE HAD PUT OUT THIS POST, IT JUST BROKE MY

HEART. PEOPLE HAD CRITICIZED HIM FOR GAINING A LOT OF

WEIGHT. AND I GUESS HE WAS PUTTING OUT A, PASTOR TOLD

ME ABOUT IT, HE WAS PUTTING OUT, HE LIKES TO GO FISHING,

AND I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO SHOW A FISHY COD OR

SOMETHING. BUT ANYWAY, HE HAD GAINED A LOT OF WEIGHT,

AND PEOPLE WERE JUST CRITICAL, I MEAN, JUST

TERRIBLE. AND HE SAID, WELL, HE PUT A POST OUT, AND HE

SAID, YOU KNOW, IF YOU KNEW WHAT I'D BEEN THROUGH, YOU

KNOW, AND HE SHARED HIS HEALTH. GO OUT AND LOOK AT

IT AT SOME POINTS, JIM FLOWERS, METEOROLOGIST OR

WHATEVER. BUT, AND MAN, WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT HE WENT

THROUGH IN HIS BODY, HOW MANY OF YOU SAW IT? DID

ANYBODY SEE THE POST? KAREN, YOU'RE WAVING. AND YOU'VE

WALKED THROUGH THINGS. SO YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE

COMPASSION WHEN SOMEBODY'S GONE. I HAD TO WALK THROUGH

THE SITUATION WITH MY FOOT. AND I'LL BE HONEST, THERE'S

TIMES IT HURTS TO STAND UP AND PREACH. I'VE HAD TO WALK

THAT OUT. AND SO THE POINT OF THAT IS NOT ABOUT ME, BUT

THE POINT IS, IS HE FINALLY WENT IN AND SAID, YOU KNOW,

IF YOU ALL KNEW WHAT I HAD WENT THROUGH, BUT WHAT IT

BOTHERED ME WAS, IS PEOPLE GO OUT AND EXAMINE SOMEBODY

ELSE. AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THAT MAN HAD BEEN

THROUGH. AND I FELT, MY HEART BROKE. HE'S ON THERE,

SAYS, "WELL, I'VE LOST 22 POUNDS," AND HE'S TRYING

EVERYTHING, AND ALL OF THE THINGS IN HIS HEALTH. AND I

THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE HAVE GOT

TO DO BETTER. AND THE CHURCH HAS TO LEAD THE WAY. AND THE

WAY WE DO THAT IS WE DON'T POINT THE FINGER AT OTHER

PEOPLE, RIGHT? OKAY, IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE

SUPPOSED TO DO. AMEN. YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID IT LIKE

THIS, DON'T POINT THE FINGER, YOU'VE STILL GOT

FOUR POINTING BACK AT YOU IF YOU DO THAT. BUT HE SAID,

LET A MAN, THIS IS COMMUNION NOW. LET US EXAMINE

OURSELVES. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THAT IS THE

HARDEST THING TO DO, IS TO LOOK YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR

AND SAY YOUR NAME AND SAY, YOU NEED TO CHANGE. IF YOU

GET IN YOUR MIND, EVERYBODY AROUND YOU NEEDS TO CHANGE,

YOU ARE ALREADY ON THE WRONG PATH, RIGHT? "LET A MAN

EXAMINE HIMSELF, AND AFTER YOU'VE DONE THAT, "LET HIM

EAT OF THAT BREAD AND DRINK OF THAT CUP. "FOR HE THAT

EATS AND DRINKS UNWORTHILY "EATS AND DRINKS DAMNATION

TO HIMSELF." AND IT HIT ME. HOW DO WE DO IT UNWORTHILY?

BY POINTING THE FINGER AT OTHER PEOPLE. ISN'T THAT

POWERFUL? 'CAUSE THAT'S THE CONTEXT. NOT DISCERNING THE

LORD'S BODY. WELL, IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST THE

ELEMENTS. THAT'S PART OF IT. BUT WHO'S THE LORD'S BODY?

LOOK IN THE CHAIR TO YOUR RIGHT AND LEFT AND YOU'RE

GONNA SEE A NICE, BEAUTIFUL, SMILING, WARM BODY SITTING

THERE. THIS IS YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. WHEN YOU'RE

ONLINE, THOSE OF YOU ONLINE, WHETHER IT'S ON THIS WEBSITE

OR ANOTHER AND SOMEBODY'S PREACHING, THAT'S YOUR

BROTHER AND SISTER. YOU MAY NOT LIKE THEIR MESSAGE. IN

FACT, THEY MAY BE PREACHING SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE,

(HUMMING) RIGHT? 'CAUSE DOES ANYBODY GET IT RIGHT 100% OF

THE TIME? I MEAN, WE'RE LIVING IN A CULTURE YOU

CAN'T EVEN MISSPEAK, SAY A WORD, AND SOMEBODY'S OUT

WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA DESTRUCTION GUN.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) WELL, WE GOTTA LAUGH ABOUT

IT. BUT THE POINT IS, IS WE'RE THE BODY OF CHRIST. BE

CAREFUL WHO YOU JUST FRIVOLOUSLY CRITICIZE. THE

LORD'S REALLY BEEN TALKING TO ME ABOUT THIS LATELY. NOT

DISCERNING THE LORD'S BODY, BUT HERE'S WHY THIS IS SO

IMPORTANT. FOR THIS REASON, VERSE 30, MANY ARE WEAK.

MAN, THERE'S A LOT OF WEAK CHRISTIANS. MANY ARE SICKLY

AMONG YOU, AND MANY SLEEP OR HAVE DIED PREMATURELY. FOR

IF WE WOULD JUDGE OURSELVES, WOW, THEN WE OURSELVES WOULD

NOT BE JUDGED. THERE'S A WHOLE TEACHING IN THAT. SO,

YOU KNOW, THE THING THAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT

WE HAVE TO LOOK INSIDE AND THAT'S WHAT COMMUNION'S ALL

ABOUT. SO LET'S TAKE A MOMENT, AND IF THERE'S

ANYTHING YOU NEED TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD, MAYBE YOU'VE

JUST BEEN A LITTLE TOO CRITICAL OF SOMEBODY. MAYBE

YOU'VE JUST HAD SOME ATTITUDES AND YOU THINK, YOU

KNOW, LORD, I'M TOO BUSY LOOKING AT OTHERS AND NOT

LOOKING AT ME. AND JUST ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU. HE WILL.

HE'LL FORGIVE YOU RIGHT NOW. SO LORD, WE JUST PRAY AND WE

ASK THAT YOU'D FORGIVE US IF WE HAVE POINTED THE FINGER

UNNECESSARILY. FATHER, WE KNOW WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT

CALLING OUT EVIL. BUT IF WE HAVE POINTED THE FINGER AT

OUR FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN AN UNFAIR WAY,

FORGIVE US. WE ASK YOU, WE EXAMINE OUR HEARTS. HELP US

TO DO BETTER. HELP US TO CHANGE THE THINGS WE NEED TO

CHANGE. AND WE ASK YOU IN JESUS' NAME. NOW LET'S HOLD

UP THAT BREAD TOGETHER. IT'S NOW THAT WE CAN DO IT

WORTHILY, RIGHT? SO LORD, WE HOLD UP THIS BODY OF THE

LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND WE THANK YOU THAT THAT BODY WAS

GIVEN FOR US. WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND TODAY

AFRESH, WE HONOR OUR FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN A

NEW WAY. AND WE THANK YOU THAT THAT BODY IS GIVEN, AND

WE'RE PART OF THAT BODY AS WE RECEIVE THIS TOGETHER.

LET'S RECEIVE TOGETHER THE BODY OF THE LORD. AND LORD,

WE THANK YOU FOR THAT BLOOD THAT WASHES US. BUT NOT ONLY

DOES IT WASH US OF OUR SINS, IT WASHES THE SINS OF OUR

BROTHERS AND SISTERS. AND LORD, WE PRAY FOR THOSE

AROUND US. FATHER, IN THE STRUGGLES AND THE AREAS

THEY'RE WALKING THROUGH, HELP US TO BE AN ARM

UPLIFTED, NOT A CRITIC. AND WE ASK YOU, LORD, TO SHOW

THEM THE WAY. TEACH THEM AS YOU'RE TEACHING US. IN

JESUS' NAME, WE RECEIVE THE BLOOD TOGETHER. AMEN AND

AMEN. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I THINK YOU OUGHT TO STAND UP

FOR A MOMENT AND BE THE BODY OF CHRIST TO SOMEBODY. HUG

THEM, LOVE ON THEM, TELL THEM, I AM SO GLAD. AND

INTERNET, YOU DO THE SAME. I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE MY

BROTHER AND MY SISTER IN THE LORD. HALLELUJAH. WHY DON'T

WE TAKE A MOMENT AND GREET ONE ANOTHER IN JESUS' NAME.

GOING ON THIS WEEK DOWN AT UNO. JUST TELL EVERYBODY, I

MEAN, WE'RE BACK OUT THERE. - PASTOR ANTHONY'S ON VACATION

RIGHT NOW, BUT THIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, WE'RE

REALLY EXCITED. 7 P.M. IN THE COLLEGE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS

BUILDING ON THE UNO CAMPUS, WE ARE GOING TO BE THERE DOING

KIND OF A DEBATE-STYLE CONVERSATION NIGHT WITH

STUDENTS, KIND OF LIKE WHAT CHARLIE KIRK DID. AND WE FELT

REALLY STRONGLY LIKE WE NEED TO GO ON THE CAMPUS. YEAH, AND

- YES, COME ON, GIVE GOD A HAND.

- YES, ANSWER QUESTIONS, AMEN. (CONGREGATION CHEERING)

AMEN, AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THIS FOR

SURE, BUT PASTOR ANTHONY AND I WERE HAVING A DISCUSSION

THAT WE MIGHT BE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE

THIS SINCE THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED WITH CHARLIE ON A

CAMPUS. WE'RE CARRYING THE TORCH. I MEAN, YOU KNOW,

WE'VE DONE THE VISUALS AND ALL THAT STUFF AND THE

CELEBRATIONS. NOW WE NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK AND REALLY

SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE DISCUSSIONS

THAT NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE, BUT THEY NEED TO BE HAVE.

AND TO BE HONEST, HERE'S THE THING. WE REALLY FEEL LIKE

IN THIS MOMENT, AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS ALSO OPEN FOR

THE COMMUNITY. IT'S NOT JUST STUDENTS.

- SO TELL PEOPLE. - THIS IS WITH TPUSA OMAHA.

- THEY CAN TAKE A PICTURE UP THERE AND GET THE INFO.

- YEAH, WE REALLY FEEL LIKE THESE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT

MUST BE HAD AND REALLY, IT COULD BE POLITICAL, IT COULD

BE RELIGION, IT COULD BE ABOUT ANYTHING, AND WE'RE

GOING ON THAT CAMPUS TO HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS. AND ME

AND PASTOR ANTHONY ARE LIKE, WE ARE READY FOR THIS.

- LET'S DO THIS. - YES, THIS IS JUST

IMPORTANT. SO, YOU KNOW, I HOPE THIS

GETS REALLY ADVERTISED AND NOT JUST FOR, YOU

KNOW, THE NAME AND FOR GAME CHANGERS, BUT TO CARRY

THE LEGACY OF CHARLIE KIRK AND TO REALLY INFLUENCE

PEOPLE TO VOTE CORRECTLY, TO BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.

- AMEN. - AND TO ALSO, MOST

IMPORTANTLY, STRENGTHEN OR GET A NEW RELATIONSHIP

WITH JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR. AND

SO WE'RE COMING IN THERE WITH ALL THE DISCUSSIONS.

- WELL, WE'RE GONNA BE PRAYING FOR YOU, AMEN. WE'LL

GIVE HIM A HAND. THANK YOU PASTOR MATT FOR DOING THAT.

VERY QUICKLY, BEFORE WE GET INTO THE OFFERING, JUST A

COUPLE OF QUICK REMINDERS. GOT A LOT GOING ON HERE AT

LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH. JUST MARK YOUR CALENDAR, THE

26TH, SUNDAY THE 26TH OF THIS MONTH, JOHN AMANTWUKU,

I ALWAYS TRY TO SAY, IS GONNA BE HERE IN THE HOUSE

PREACHING, SO IF YOU LIKE BOLD VOICES, THAT IS THE ONE

FOR YOU. SO COME AND LEAVE ALL YOUR SENSITIVE FEELINGS

AT HOME. I'LL JUST LEAVE IT LIKE THAT. BUT HOW MANY OF

YOU LIKE REAL TRUTH? YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE DOESN'T

MINCE WORDS, IT'S VERY BOLD. AND THEN ALSO THAT SAME

WEEK, THE 29TH, PASTOR AND ALL OF THE STAFF HERE ARE

GONNA BE CONDUCTING AN ONLINE-ONLY EVENT, SO IT'S

NOT IN PERSON, BECAUSE WE'RE DOING A PRAYER AND CALL-IN

NIGHT, AND SO WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING THE PHONES RIGHT

HERE ON CAMPUS, AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO CALL IN. PASTOR'S

GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN'S MATERIAL COMING

OUT, IT'S TIME TO RESCUE A GENERATION FROM THE EVILS OF

WICKED ENTERTAINMENT, AND SO WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT

THAT, BUT WE'RE GONNA BE PRAYING FOR KIDS, AND WE'RE

GONNA HAVE PRAYER REQUESTS UP HERE, SO GET PRAYER

REQUESTS IN, YOU CAN GO OUT THERE, THERE IS A QR CODE AS

WELL, AND YOU CAN JUMP OUT THERE, SUBMIT A PRAYER

REQUEST, ALL OF YOU ONLINE. THIS YEAR WE JUST DIDN'T

HAVE THE TIME TO DO THE PICTURES LIKE WE DID BEFORE

WHEN WE DID AN EVENT LIKE THIS, BUT WE ARE GONNA DO

SOME LIVE CALL-IN, AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO CALL, AND

WE'RE JUST GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT'S BEFORE US, AND WE

NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND BEGIN TO SUPPLY THINGS TO

THIS GENERATION THAT ARE AWESOME, AND YOU CAN JOIN

RIGHT ON OVTV. AND I'M EXCITED, I SAW SAMSUNG UP

THERE, I HAVE A SAMSUNG TV AND I DON'T KNOW, IT'S NEVER

WORKED RIGHT. SO I'M GOING BACK OUT AND GETTING ME SOME

OVTV ON MY BIG SCREEN, HALLELUJAH, THAT WAS

AWESOME. SO ANYWAY, THERE IS THE INFORMATION AND GET OUT

THERE. AND BY THE WAY, WE HAVE THE RESCUING A

GENERATION PRAYER GUIDE, AND WE'LL BE GIVING THAT AWAY

FOR FREE TO ANYBODY THAT NIGHT WHO REQUESTS IT. SO IF

YOU DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THAT, THAT'LL BE JUST

ABSOLUTELY FREE. WE'LL BE TALKING ALL NIGHT LONG HOW

TO WRITE IN AND GET A HOLD OF THAT. AND THEN I ALSO

WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY, OMAHA VICTORY CAMPAIGN IS

COMING NOVEMBER 6TH THROUGH THE 9TH WITH KENNETH

COPELAND AND KATE BUTLER. I THINK JONATHAN SHUTTLESWORTH

IS GONNA BE HERE AND YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THAT. AND

I KNOW BROTHER COPELAND ISN'T DOING AS MANY OF

THESE, SO LET'S GET IN ON IT WHILE WE HAVE AN

OPPORTUNITY. BUT I MOSTLY ESPECIALLY WANT TO DO THAT

BECAUSE HE WAS THE VOICE AND THE PLATFORM THAT STARTED

THE VISION FOR FLASHPOINT. AND HOW MANY OF YOU THINK WE

NEED TO HONOR, GIVE HONOR WHERE HONORS DO? AND THEY'RE

HANDLING ALL THE REGISTRATIONS FOR THAT, SO

THERE'S THE INFORMATION. GET OUT THERE ON THEIRS WHERE

YOU CAN REGISTER AND BE PART OF THAT AS WELL. AND THEN

BISHOP KEITH BUTLER, PASTOR WAS JUST THERE PREACHING FOR

HIM ON FRIDAY NIGHT. HE'S GOING TO STAY OVER AND

PREACH FOR US ON SUNDAY. SO IT'S JUST GOING TO BE

AMAZING. SO BE A PART OF ALL THOSE THINGS. AMEN. WELL,

LET'S TALK ABOUT OFFERING TODAY. WE ARE ENTERING THE

FEAST OF TABERNACLES AND THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME.

LAST WEDNESDAY WAS WHAT WE CALL YOM KIPPUR. IT IS THE

DAY OF ATONEMENT. NOW LET ME JUST GIVE YOU A BRIEF

UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT TABERNACLES IS. HOW MANY OF

YOU KNOW THE THREE FEAST SEASONS? IF YOU GO TO THIS

CHURCH, YOU SHOULD KNOW IT BY NOW. IT'S PASSOVER,

SOMEBODY SAY PASSOVER, PENTECOST, AND TABERNACLES.

THESE ARE THE THREE FEAST SEASONS OF SCRIPTURE. JESUS

HAS ALREADY FULFILLED OR MEMORIALIZED PASSOVER

THROUGH HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION. HE ALREADY

FULFILLED AND MEMORIALIZED THE SPRING FEAST SEASON, OR

THE SUMMER FEAST SEASON. PASSOVER IS SPRING,

PENTECOST IS SUMMER, AND HE ALREADY MEMORIALIZED

PENTECOST BY SENDING THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND WE WERE

FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE LAW OF GOD IS NO LONGER

ON TABLES OF STONE. IT IS WRITTEN WHERE? ON OUR

HEARTS. AND SO, THEN THERE'S TABERNACLES, WHICH IS THE

FALL FEAST SEASON. I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE

AND WHAT THAT MEANS. BUT GOD SAID DURING THE FEAST

SEASONS, I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THEM WELL. I WANT

YOU TO NOTE THESE TIMES BECAUSE THEY'RE THE VERY

FOUNDATION OF YOUR FAITH THAT YOU NEVER TAKE IT

LIGHTLY, YOU ALWAYS VALUE IT. AND HE SAID THAT WOULD

BE A SEASON THAT NO ONE IS TO APPEAR BEFORE GOD EMPTY.

GOD TOLD THEM DEUTERONOMY 16, 16, LET EVERY PERSON

BRING A GIFT AT THAT TIME SO THEY WOULD REMEMBER THOSE

THREE SEASONS ARE SOMETHING TO BE MARKED IN OUR SOUL.

THAT IF WE'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE, WE WILL STAY

ON THE RIGHT PATH WITH GOD. IF YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER AND

YOU VALUE WHAT JESUS DID DURING THE PASSOVER, THEN

YOU'LL STAY CONNECTED TO THAT. IF YOU VALUE THE

COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT, AND THE WORD OF GOD BEING WRITTEN IN YOUR HEART,

COME ON, NOT THE WORD OF MAN, NOT THE WORD OF THE

NEWS, NOT THE WORD OF CNN, BUT THE WORD WRITTEN IN YOUR

HEART, THEN YOU WILL VALUE THAT. AND SO BY GIVING AN

OFFERING, IT'S CALLED PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH

IS, A LITTLE BIT AS A MODERN SAYING TO GO WITH THAT. SO

GOD TOLD ISRAEL TO PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH WAS

AND TO BE CONNECTED. NOW, WHAT IS TABERNACLES?

TABERNACLES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, THIS IS THE SHORT

VERSION, I'LL SAY IT QUICK, IS WAS A TIME WHEN THEY

WERE, THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE TO BUILD THESE LITTLE

TENTS OR THESE LITTLE HUTS, AND THEY WERE TO TABERNACLE

IN THEM. AND THEY WERE A TIME WHEN THEY WERE TO BE

PREPARED FOR THE COMING OF THEIR MESSIAH. NOW THINK

ABOUT THAT. THEY WERE ANTICIPATING, SOMEONE SAY

ANTICIPATING. THEY WERE EXPECTING IN FAITH FOR THEIR

MESSIAH TO COME. NOW THEY DIDN'T REALIZE IT, BUT GOD

WAS POINTING THEM TO JESUS. NOW WHAT WE UNDERSTAND

TABERNACLES TO BE IN SHORT, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

TABERNACLES IS THAT WE ARE IN ANTICIPATION FOR JESUS'

SOON RETURN. THAT IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, THAT WE ARE

TO LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE WE ARE ALWAYS READY FOR THE

LORD TO COME BACK. NOW WE KNOW BIBLICALLY, I'LL JUST

SAY A COUPLE THINGS, BECAUSE HOW MANY OF YOU HEARD ALL

THE RAPTURE HYPE THAT CAME AND WE'RE STILL HERE. AND SO

I'M ALWAYS APPREHENSIVE WHEN PEOPLE SET THESE DATES,

BECAUSE USUALLY THEY ARE NEVER, SOME OF YOU ARE OLD

ENOUGH TO REMEMBER 88 REASONS WHY JESUS WAS COMING

IN 88. AND THEN WHEN HE DIDN'T COME IN 88, IT WAS,

THEY MOVED IT TO 89. AND ANYWAY, IT WAS A WHOLE CRAZY

THING. AND THAT HAPPENED AND THE WORLD WAS JUST WORKED UP

OVER THAT. AND WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA TO

GET ALL EXCITED WITH IT. IMAGINE WHAT THAT HAPPENED

NOW. BUT ANYWAY, SO THERE ARE THINGS, BUT HERE'S THE

THING, WHEN IT COMES TO JESUS RETURNING, THE BIBLE

KIND OF GIVES IT TO US IN TWO WAYS. FIRST OF ALL,

JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 24, YOU GUYS KNOW IT, JESUS LAID

OUT ALL OF THE SIGNS, RIGHT, OF WHAT WE'RE TO LOOK FOR. I

THINK WE'RE SEEING ALL THOSE SIGNS. THEY'RE THERE, WARS,

RUMORS. IN FACT, ONE OF THEM IS THE LOVE OF MANY WILL WAX

COLD. WE'RE DEFINITELY SEEING THAT. PEOPLE ARE JUST

COLD AND HARD-HEARTED. AND SO WE'RE SEEING THE SIGNS.

BUT THEN 2 THESSALONIANS 2:2, I'VE READ THIS TO

2 Thessalonians 2:2

YOU. PAUL, IF YOU READ THOSE FIRST HANDFUL OF VERSES, HE

SAID, "NOW I BESEECH YOU, BRETHREN, "REGARDING THE

COMING OF OUR LORD AND OUR GATHERING UNTO HIM, THAT YOU

BE NOT SOON SHAKEN IN MIND, THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE

TROUBLED, EVEN IF YOU RECEIVE A WORD FROM US, OR

SOMEBODY WRITES A LETTER AND PUTS OUR NAME AT THE BOTTOM,

OR YOU'RE NOT SHAKEN IN SPIRIT BECAUSE SOMETHING

CAME TO YOU AND SAID THIS OR SAID THAT." HE SAID, "DON'T

BE SHAKEN REGARDING THOSE THINGS FOR THE DAY OF THE

LORD IS AT HAND." SO IT REMINDS AGAIN, THIS IS

TABERNACLES NOW, IT'S REMINDING US THAT THE DAY OF

GOD IS AT HAND. AND THEN IT GOES, BUT HE GOES ON TO SAY,

HE SAID, "BUT SO THAT YOU DON'T BE WORRIED," IN VERSE

THREE, HE SAID, "THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HAVE TO

LINE UP TO THE COMING OF THE LORD. DON'T LET ANY MAN

DECEIVE YOU. THAT DAY IS NOT GOING TO COME, EXCEPT FIRST

THERE'S GOING TO BE A MASS EXODUS FROM THE FAITH."

OKAY? AND I THINK WE'RE SEEING SOME TRICKLES OF

THAT, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT ANYTHING CALCULATES TO A

MASS EXODUS YET. BUT IT SAID ALSO THAT THE MAN OF SIN HAS

TO BE REVEALED AND THAT HE WILL STAND UP AND OPPOSE

EVERYTHING AND ALL THINGS THAT ARE GOD. OKAY, WE

HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET, RIGHT? HAVE YOU SEEN THAT

YET? I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET. AND OPPOSING EVERYTHING

AND ALL GOD, THAT IS ALL THINGS THAT ARE GOD, OKAY,

I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU FOR ALL OF YOU THAT CAN'T

STAND THE MAN, DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE ANTICHRIST. OKAY,

HE'S NOT OPPOSING EVERYTHING THAT IS GOD. OKAY, WHOEVER

THAT MAN OR THAT PERSON IS THAT WILL BECOME THAT AGENT

OF THE DEVIL WILL SAY THAT CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIANITY

IS A FARCE AND WILL SET HIMSELF AND THEN IT SAYS AND

HE'LL HAVE TO SIT IN THE TEMPLE. THAT'S TALKING ABOUT

IN ISRAEL IN THE HOLY PLACE, EXALTING HIMSELF AS GOD. NOW

THAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET. WE NEED TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

THESE ARE SCRIPTURES. THAT'S WHY DON'T PAUL SAID DON'T

GET HYPED UP ABOUT THESE RAPTURE PREDICTORS. BUT IN A

FLIP SIDE, THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US TO BE SPIRITUALLY

READY. THIS IS WHAT TABERNACLES IS. I'M GOING TO

BE BRIEF WITH THIS. AND IN FACT, I WANT TO PREACH ON

THIS SOMETIME. BUT THREE TIMES IN REVELATION 22,

JESUS SAID THESE WORDS, I THINK IT'S VERSE 7, VERSE

12, VERSE 20, YOU CAN WRITE IT DOWN. JESUS SAID, "BE

PREPARED, I'M COMING QUICKLY." OKAY? THROUGHOUT

THE BIBLE IT SAID HE IS COMING QUICKLY, THE DAY OF

THE LORD IS AT HAND. SO, YES, THERE'S THINGS THAT

HAVE TO HAPPEN, BUT WE'RE TO LIVE IN A PLACE OF

EXPECTATION AND SPIRITUAL READINESS AT ALL TIMES. AND

THE BIBLE'S VERY CLEAR. AND THEN JOHN THE REVELATOR IN

VERSE 20 SAYS, "AND EVEN SO, LORD JESUS, COME QUICKLY."

AND THAT SHOULD BE OUR PRAYER, "COME QUICKLY, LORD

JESUS, THAT WE ARE LIVING." THIS IS WHAT TABERNACLES IS

ABOUT. IT'S BEING PREPARED EVERY DAY AND WE'RE TO BRING

AN OFFERING SHOWING THAT PREPAREDNESS. THAT'S

BIBLICAL. THE BIBLE ALSO SAID IN REVELATION 21:8,

Revelation 21:8

THESE, I CALL THEM THE BIG EIGHT, THE THINGS THAT'LL

KEEP YOU FROM BEING GATHERED UNTO THE LORD. THE BIBLE

LISTS THEM OUT. THE FEARFUL, IT SAYS THE UNBELIEVING, NOW

FEARFUL DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET SCARED SOMETIMES. IT'S

TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT CAN NEVER STAND FOR TRUTH

AND WILL SIDE WITH THE CULTURE. I NEED TO TEACH ON

THAT AT SOME POINT, THOSE ONES RIGHT THERE. PEOPLE

THAT ARE GOING TO ALWAYS BEND. YOU HEARD PASTOR TALK

ON IT, THEY BEND TO THE CULTURE, RIGHT? AND IT SAYS

THE UNBELIEVING, IT'S THOSE THAT ARE NOT OF THE

CHRISTIAN FAITH. SO THIS IS TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE THAT

OPPOSE GOD, ALL LIARS, COME ON, LIARS, DECEIVERS. THAT'S

WHY I DON'T LIE AS A CHRISTIAN. BE HONEST, RIGHT?

DON'T SHIRK AROUND AND DECEIVE PEOPLE. LIVE A

SECRET LIFE. DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT. THOSE ARE THINGS

YOU DON'T DO. BUT I CALL THEM THE BIG EIGHT. THERE

USED TO BE A CONFERENCE IN THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL CALLED

THE BIG EIGHT. THEY'VE DONE AWAY WITH THAT NOW. THERE'S

A NEW BIG EIGHT IN THE BIBLE. BUT THIS IS WHAT

TABERNACLES IS, AND I'LL CLOSE WITH THIS. TABERNACLES

IS ABOUT WE READY OURSELF AND SAY, "GOD, WHAT DO I

NEED TO DO TO PREPARE FOR YOUR COMING?" I WANT TO BE

READY EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND THAT OFFERING IS MEANT TO

SHOW THAT WITH YOUR HEART, THAT YOU ARE PREPARED, THAT

YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THAT JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON.

AMEN AND AMEN. HALLELUJAH. ALRIGHT, WELL LET US PUT THE

GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. WE HAVE, BY THE WAY,

IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE MAILING LIST, WE DID SEND

OUT THE EIGHT BLESSINGS FOR FEASTGIVING. WE SHARE THESE

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ALL OF THESE ARE FROM EXODUS 23,

WHILE YOU ARE PREPARING YOUR OFFERING, GOD SAID HE WILL

BLESS YOU. GOD DOESN'T JUST ASK US TO GIVE AND HE

DOESN'T BLESS. HE SAID HE'LL RELEASE ANGELS, HE'LL BRING

YOU INTO THE PLACE THAT HE'S PREPARED, YOUR PURPOSE,

HE'LL DELIVER YOU FROM THE ENEMY'S PLANS, RIGHT, HE'LL

PROVIDE FOR YOU FINANCIALLY, ALL OF THIS IS EXODUS 23

UNDER FEAST GIVING. GOD WILL HEAL YOU, COME ON, THESE ARE

ALL STUFF WE WANT, FOLKS, GOD WILL MAKE YOU FRUITFUL,

YOU'LL LIVE A LONG LIFE, COME ON, OFFERINGS ARE

CONNECTED TO LONG LIFE, I'M WRITING ABOUT THAT RIGHT

NOW, AND YOU WILL HAVE INFLUENCE AND FAVOR. ALL OF

THESE ARE THE THINGS GOD SAID, IF YOU'LL GIVE DURING

THE FEAST SEASONS THAT I ASK YOU TO MARK, I WILL DO THESE

THINGS FOR YOU. SO THERE'S OFFERING ENVELOPES. THOSE OF

YOU UP IN THE STADIUM SEATS, THERE ARE ENVELOPES UP THERE

IN THE BACK, AND THOSE OF YOU DOWN ON THE FLOOR HAVE

IT IN YOUR CHAIR, OR YOU CAN DO IT ONLINE WHERE IT SAYS

TABERNACLES AND DAY OF ATONEMENT, YOU CAN GIVE IT

THERE. THERE ARE ALL THE WAYS TO GIVE, TEXT TO GIVE,

MOBILE APP WEBSITE, THE QR CODE, AND SO YOU CAN USE ALL

OF THOSE WAYS TO DO YOUR GIVING. IF YOU HAVE YOUR

GIVING READY, LET'S KEEP THAT UP THERE FOR A MOMENT

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE ONLINE. YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND STAND

AND HOLD YOUR ENVELOPE UP. THAT WAS GOOD TEACHING ABOUT

TABERNACLES. I THINK THAT IS, AND I FEEL LIKE THERE

DOES NEED TO BE AN AWARENESS AND A PREPAREDNESS FOR

JESUS' SOON RETURN. AMEN, HOLD YOUR OFFERING UP HIGH.

THOSE OF YOU ONLINE, JOIN US TOO. IF YOU'RE GIVING

TABERNACLES, COME ON, BELIEVE FOR THOSE EIGHT

BLESSINGS TO COME IN YOUR LIFE. FATHER, WE THANK YOU

FOR EVERY GIVER UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE TODAY. I

THANK YOU, LORD, THAT THEY ARE BEING BLESSED AND THOSE

THAT ARE SOWING AND GIVING THEIR TITHES. FATHER, EVERY

SINGLE SCRIPTURE THAT IS IN THE WORD OF GOD THAT

PROMISES US BLESSING, WE TAKE IT AND WE RECEIVE IT.

AND LORD JESUS, HELP US, SHOW US HOW TO BE PREPARED,

HOW TO TABERNACLE AND BE READY FOR YOUR SOON RETURN.

WE EXPECT IT AND GOD, WE JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WE'RE

EXCITED FOR IT. WE'RE EXCITED WHEN THE TIME COMES

FOR US TO BE IN HEAVEN. WE'LL GET TO SEE CHARLIE TOO. AND

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT WHEN WE'RE ALL GATHERED UP TO HEAVEN

IN LONG LIFE AND OLD AGE. AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS

NAME, AMEN. ALL RIGHT, PASTOR MATT, LET'S DO OUR DECREE.

- AMEN. REAL QUICK, I JUST HAD MENTIONED THAT IT WAS

THE COLLEGE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE

AT. IF THEY COULD PUT, THE CONTROL ROOM WAS MENTIONING

THAT THEY HAVE THAT UPDATED GRAPHIC FOR ONLINE AND

WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ONLINE PEOPLE HAD SAW THAT

AND GOT THAT. SO AGAIN, THAT IS THE COLLEGE OF PUBLIC

AFFAIRS, 7 P.M. THIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, AND

THIS IS OPEN TO EVERYBODY. SO LOHERS, YOU ARE WELCOME

TO BE AT THIS AS WELL. AND I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT

THAT WE SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT AS A CHURCH BECAUSE THESE

STUDENTS AND REALLY THE COMMUNITY IS HUNGRY RIGHT

NOW FOR SOME SORT OF CHANGE, SOMETHING TO, YOU KNOW, BE

INVOLVED IN, COMMUNITY. AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT,

GUYS, THAT WE GET THERE. AND THAT'S WHY PASTOR ANTHONY

AND I FELT REALLY LED TO DO THIS BECAUSE THERE IS A

MOVEMENT THAT IS HAPPENING. AND I JUST THINK IT'S

IMPORTANT THAT YOU GUYS ARE A PART OF THIS ONLINE

CHURCH, YOU'RE A PART OF THIS, AND WE GET BEHIND THIS

AND START SAYING, WE'RE GONNA CARRY THAT TORCH THAT

WAS JUST PASSED, AMEN? AMEN, WELL, LET'S DECREE TOGETHER,

NOW. WE DECREE MINISTRY AND CAMPUS BE EXPANDED NOW. NOW

SAY THIS, I AM A PERSON THAT WALKS IN FAVOR. COME ON, I

AM A PERSON THAT WALKS IN FAVOR, AMEN. AND LET'S WELCOME

PASTOR HANK. I KNOW HE'S READY FOR A GREAT WORD TODAY, AMEN.

- GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU, PASTOR MATT. MAKE SURE YOU

SMILE IN A AISLE, BE FRIENDLY. GOD BLESS YOU FOR

YOUR GIVING. THANK YOU FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE GIVING

ALSO ONLINE. DON'T STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE AT ANYBODY, YOU

KNOW, RIGHT? WE WANNA BE NICE PEOPLE. SO, ALL RIGHT,

WELL, AS THE USHERS ARE SERVING YOU, I'M EXCITED FOR

THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT BECAUSE I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M

SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AND I'M GONNA MINISTER. I DON'T KNOW

WHAT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA PREACH, I DON'T KNOW

WHAT I'M GONNA SAY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M SUPPOSED

TO DO, I JUST KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. SO I'M

GONNA BE HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SO JOIN ME AND WE'LL

JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS. AND IF I, I DON'T KNOW, WE PRAY,

MAYBE WE ALL LAY BEFORE THE LORD, DEPENDS IF I EAT CARBS

BEFORE I COME OUT OR NOT, SO, OR SUGAR, BUT WE'LL HAVE

A GREAT TIME. SO, PRAISE THE LORD. ALL RIGHT, USHERS, ARE

YOU STILL SERVING THE PEOPLE? ALL RIGHT, WHILE

THEY'RE SERVING THE PEOPLE, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW I WAS

AT FLASHPOINT, INDIANA, AND THEN OF COURSE DETROIT, WE

WENT UP TO DETROIT ON FRIDAY. BUT YOU KNOW I WENT

TO A RESTAURANT RIGHT NEXT, ACTUALLY AT THE AIRPORT, AND

I TELL YOU WHAT, I ASKED THEM FOR JUST SOME PLAIN

RICE AT THE AIRPORT, AND HERE'S WHAT THEY GAVE ME.

THERE YOU GO, I JUST WANTED SOME PLAIN RICE, AND YOU

KNOW YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL FOR AIRPORT FOOD. OH, STOP.

KIND OF A HERCULES DINNER RIGHT THERE, CAPTAIN. HE WAS

WITH ME. SO ANYWAY, YOU SAW THE PLANE RISE, DIDN'T YOU

THERE? OKAY, ANYWAY. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S GET INTO

THE WORD. IT'S BEEN, I WANNA TALK ABOUT THIS SHIP CHANGE

THAT WE'RE IN AND I WANNA TALK ABOUT REALLY TWO KEY

ELEMENTS AND WE'RE GONNA KINDA PICK UP FROM WHERE WE

WERE LAST WEEK. AND IT'S IMPORTANT WHAT I'M GONNA

SHARE WITH YOU AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE FOUNDATION OF GOD'S

THRONE IS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT

OUR FOUNDATION IS? I'M GONNA TELL YOU, IT'S TWO WORDS.

YOU'RE GONNA DISCOVER WHAT IT IS. CAN I TELL YOU WHAT

IT IS? A WILFORD GELATO. ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT IT IS.

IT'S LOVE AND HONOR. WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT. LOVE

AND HONOR, HAVING THOSE AS THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR

CHRISTIAN WALK WILL DETERMINE IF YOU'RE GONNA

WALK BLESSED OR NOT. IT REALLY IS THE TRUTH. I WANT

YOU TO LOOK AT ISAIAH 42. WE'VE BEEN TALKING IN VERSE

NINE. PAY ATTENTION, BEHOLD, LOOK, FORMER THINGS ARE

COMING TO PASS. NOW, UNDERLINE THAT. THEN MY

QUESTION TO ALL OF US IS, WHY DO WE HOLD ON TO OUR

PAST? PAST RELATIONSHIPS, PAST FEELINGS, PAST HURTS,

RIGHT? PAST MEMORIES THAT HURT US, WOUND US,

DISAPPOINT US, MAKE US ANGRY, OR LIKE WHAT PASTOR

BRENDA SAID, DURING COMMUNION, IT KEEPS US FROM

EXAMINING OURSELVES. THE FORMER THINGS ARE COME TO

PASS. NOW, NOTICE THERE'S A SHIFT NOW, AND NEW THINGS. I

WANT YOU TO LOOK AT YOURSELF, RIGHT? HOW CAN YOU

LOOK AT YOURSELF? LOOK AT YOURSELF. PUT YOUR HAND UP

IN YOUR, LOOK AT YOURSELF. THERE'S YOURSELF. ALL RIGHT.

I WANT YOU TO JUST LOOK AT YOURSELF. I GUESS YOUR HANDS

WILL WORK, RIGHT? AND SAY, I RECEIVE NEW THINGS. PUT YOUR

HAND ON YOUR HEAD. WE'LL DO IT THAT WAY. I RECEIVE NEW

THINGS. THIS IS THE HOUR, THIS IS THE SEASON, THAT

THERE IS A SHIFT AND THERE IS GREAT CHANGE THAT GOD IS

DOING AND BRINGING IN THE EARTH. THEREFORE, OVER MY

LIFE, MY LIFE SHIFTS INTO THE DIVINE PURPOSE AND WILL

OF ALMIGHTY GOD. AND I WILL CHANGE, AND I WILL MOVE, AND

I WILL OBEY, AND I'LL DO WHAT GOD WANTS. AND I

RECEIVE A NEW SEASON OF BLESSING, ANSWERED PRAYER,

HEARTS DESIRE NOW IN JESUS' NAME. PRAISE GOD. WELL, THIS

IS THE SEASON THAT YOU'RE IN. YOU'RE IN THE SEASON OF

THE NEW. YOU'RE IN THE SEASON WHERE WE NEED TO GET

UP IN THE MORNING WITH GREAT EXPECTATION AND START

SAYING, OKAY, WHERE IS IT, WHERE'S THOSE ANSWERS? I'M

LOOKING FOR IT, RIGHT? RATHER THAN JUST REHEARSING,

COMPLAINING, BEING NEGATIVE ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE,

WHAT YOU WISH YOU HAD, AND HOW MUCH LONGER, START

REJOICING IN THE THINGS THAT GOD IS BRINGING TO YOU

BECAUSE YOU PRAYED, BECAUSE YOU'VE DESIRED, BECAUSE

YOU'VE ASKED. AND THAT'S WHAT GOD IS TRYING TO TELL

US. NOW, I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING

ABOUT HOW WE'RE IN A NEW SEASON. AND PART OF THIS NEW

SEASON IS, FOR THOSE OF YOU, MANY OF YOU, YOU FOLLOW WHAT

IS THE JEWISH NEW YEAR, OR WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO

INTO 2026. HOW MANY CAN BELIEVE THAT WE'RE ALREADY

GETTING READY TO GO INTO A NEW YEAR? HAS 2025 FOR THE

MOST PART BEEN PRETTY GOOD TO YOU? ARE YOU READY FOR A

NEW YEAR? WELL, I BELIEVE THIS IN ALL MY HEART, THINGS

ARE SHIFTING, THINGS ARE CHANGING. BUT WHETHER IT'S

5786, ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH CALENDAR, WHICH WAS

SEPTEMBER 26TH, THE NEW YEAR, 5786 HAPPENED, OR 2026

IN JUST A FEW MONTHS, IT LITERALLY MEANS, WHEN YOU

LOOK AT IT IN THE HEBREW, IT LITERALLY MEANS A

CONVERGENCE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH. BUT IT ALSO MEANS

THIS, A DIVIDING LINE. NOW I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THAT

BECAUSE IN LUKE CHAPTER 12 IN VERSE 51, WE HAVE TO SEE

Luke 12 · chapter mention

SOMETHING THAT JESUS SAID. NOW, JESUS IS NOT A STRIFE

BEARER. HE'S NOT ONE THAT SOWS DISCORD. THAT'S NOT

WHAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IN THIS VERSE. BUT WHAT HE'S

TALKING ABOUT IS A PRICE THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO

PAY IF YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO SERVE JESUS. IF YOU

REALLY, REALLY WANT TO PLEASE HIM AND DO WHAT HE

SAYS. THE BIBLE SAYS IN LUKE 6, VERSE 46, JESUS, THIS WAS

Luke 6:46

HIS WORDS. HE SAID, "WHY DO YOU CALL YOURSELF A

CHRISTIAN?" MODERN TRANSLATION. "OR WHY DO YOU

CALL ME LORD, "BUT YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT I SAY?"

IT'S AMAZING TO ME, I'VE BEEN PASTORING FOR 28 YEARS,

I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR 40, AND I'M AMAZED AT HOW

MANY PEOPLE TRY TO CONVINCE THEMSELVES, LET ALONE ME AND

GOD, THAT THEIR WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY. I MEAN, I'VE HAD

PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS, I JUST LIKE, MAN, IF YOU WOULD

JUST DO WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, LIKE FORGIVE, YOU

WOULDN'T BE TORMENTED, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS IF

YOU DON'T FORGIVE, YOU'RE GONNA BE TORMENTED. I KNOW

CHRISTIANS THAT HAVE FINANCIAL ISSUES. I'M LIKE,

IF YOU WOULD JUST TITHE AND GIVE OFFERINGS, YOU WOULDN'T

HAVE THIS PROBLEM. GOD SAID HE WOULD REBUKE THE

DEVOURER. WELL, THE REASON YOU'RE HAVING ALL THIS

DEVOURING AND THINGS KEEP BREAKING DOWN, BECAUSE YOU

DON'T BELIEVE GOD. IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST, HUSBANDS, YOU

KNOW, LOVE YOUR WIVES AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH, IF

THEY WOULD JUST DO THAT, RIGHT, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR

IT. IF HUSBANDS WOULD BE JUST MORE LOVING AND GIVING,

AND IF WIVES WOULD BE SUBMISSIVE, AND NOT ALWAYS

HAVE A TEMPERAMENT AND AN ATTITUDE, AND HAVE TO HAVE A

SAY AND BE IN CONTROL. IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST DO WHAT

JESUS SAID, WHAT GOD SAID IN THE WORD, LIFE WOULD NOT BE

SO DIFFICULT. SOCIETY WOULD NOT BE SO GOOFED UP IF

PEOPLE WOULD JUST DO WHAT GOD SAID. THERE WOULDN'T BE

GENDER MUTILATION OF CHILDREN IF PEOPLE WOULD

BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAID. THERE'S ONLY TWO GENDERS,

MALE, FEMALE. THERE WOULDN'T BE PROBLEMS IN SOCIETY IF

PEOPLE WOULD DO WHAT JESUS SAID. LOVE GOD AND LOVE

OTHER PEOPLE. NOW LOVE IS NOT CONFORMITY. I LOVE THEM

SO I HAVE TO JUST, YOU KNOW, DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, AGREE

WITH WHATEVER THEY WANT. NO, NO, NO. LOVE HAS STANDARDS.

LOVE HAS MORALS. LOVE HAS TRUTH. LOVE HAS DIVISION,

RIGHT? WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG, WHAT IS GOOD

AND WHAT IS EVIL. SO LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAYS IN LUKE 12,

Luke 12:51

VERSE 51. HE SAYS, "I WANNA SET SOMETHING STRAIGHT." AND

HE'S TALKING TO HIS DISCIPLES AND HE'S PREACHING

A SERMON, HE SAYS THESE WORDS. "DO YOU SUPPOSE," AND

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU GUYS HAVE THIS PRESUPPOSED

SUPPOSITION THAT I'VE ONLY COME TO THE EARTH FOR

EVERYTHING TO BE PEACEFUL. THAT YOU THINK THAT THAT IS

THE ONLY WAY THAT I AM, THAT I AM JUST COME SO THAT I

DON'T RUFFLE ANY FEATHERS. IN FACT, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT

GOOFED UP COMMERCIAL THAT HE GETS US, THEY WANT YOU TO

BELIEVE THAT. BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY IS WE

CAN LIVE ALTERNATE FROM THE BIBLE. WE CAN LIVE CONTRARY

TO WHAT GOD SAYS. WE CAN ABSOLUTELY REBEL, MOCK,

RIGHT? WE CAN LIVE IN SIN AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO

ENDORSE SIN. WE CAN MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF MARRIAGE

BETWEEN ONE MAN AND A WOMAN. WE CAN MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF

GENDER. WE CAN MAKE A MOCKERY, RIGHT, OUT OF WHAT

GOD SAYS BECAUSE WE ARE DETERMINED TO BE OUR OWN

LORD BECAUSE AFTER ALL, HE GETS US. DON'T YOU EVER

FORGET, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, HE

ALREADY GOT YOU. GOD IN HEAVEN CAME DOWN IN HUMAN

FLESH AND DIED AN INNOCENT, HORRIBLE DEATH SO THAT HE

COULD GET YOU. HE BECAME AS ONE OF US. NOW WE NEED TO

GET HIM. IT AIN'T YOUR RULES, IT'S HIS RULES. IT'S

NOT YOUR TERMS, IT'S HIS TERMS. AND THAT IS TRUE

CHRISTIANITY, MY FRIENDS. IT ISN'T WHAT THE LIMP-WRISTED

PREACHER TRIES TO TELL YOU WHO'S A WUSS THAT BENDS TO

EVERY TREND. IT'S WHAT JESUS SAID. SO JESUS SAID, "HEY,

GET THIS OUT OF YOUR HEAD "THAT YOU THINK THAT

EVERYTHING IF YOU SERVE ME "IS ALWAYS GONNA BE CUPCAKES

AND ICE CREAM. IF YOU THINK SERVING ME IS GONNA COME

WITHOUT A PRICE, OR EVEN MARTYRDOM, YOU'RE WRONG. IF

YOU THINK EVERYBODY'S GONNA LIKE YOU, AGREE WITH YOU,

WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND, YOU'RE WRONG. YOU MAY LOSE

RELATIVES, YOU MAY LOSE FRIENDS, YOU MAY HAVE

NEIGHBORS THAT DON'T LIKE YOU ANYMORE, HIGH SCHOOL

FRIENDS, YOU MAY NOT WANNA GO TO YOUR 40TH REUNION WHEN

YOU WENT TO THE 30TH BECAUSE THEY AIN'T GONNA LIKE YOU

ANYMORE. 'CAUSE JESUS SAID, DON'T THINK THAT I'VE ONLY

COME TO BRING PEACE TO THE EARTH. HE SAID, BUT I TELL

YOU, NO, NO, I'VE COME TO BRING DIVISION. AND IF YOU

KEEP READING IN VERSE 52, HE BREAKS IT DOWN AND HE

LITERALLY SAYS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN. AND I KNOW THIS FOR

A TIME IN MY OWN FAMILY, EVEN TO THIS DAY, I'VE GOT

CERTAIN SIBLINGS THAT DON'T WANT MUCH TO DO WITH ME, AND

THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM. AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING, THAT'S YOUR

PROBLEM, 'CAUSE I'M NOT CHANGING. I'VE BEEN SERVING

GOD 40 YEARS, AND IF YOU WOULD ADJUST YOUR LIFE, YOU

MIGHT BE BETTER. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS, "FROM HENCEFORTH, "THERE'LL BE

FIVE IN ONE HOUSE DIVIDED." COME ON, YOU KNOW

THANKSGIVING DINNER. YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GO

THERE. BEFORE THEY DRIVE UP, YOU'RE OUT THERE, MAN, DOING

EXORCISM AROUND YOUR HOUSE. I BIND EVERY DEVIL, I BIND

THAT ARGUMENTATIVE SPIRIT, I BIND THAT GOOFBALL SPIRIT, I

BIND THAT SPIRIT OF PERVERSION, I REBUKE THAT

UNCLEAN SPIRIT, I REBUKE UNCLE WALLY FROM TRYING TO

FLIRT WITH AUNT SUSIE. BECAUSE UNCLE WALLY AIN'T

MARRIED TO AUNT SUSIE, BUT THEY'RE KISSING, THEY'RE

KISSING, WHAT ARE THEY, KISSING COUSINS? YOU

SHOULDN'T BE KISSING ON YOUR COUSIN! THAT'S JACKED UP. AM

I BREAKING IT DOWN? ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER

WATCHED THAT MOVIE CHRISTMAS VACATION AND THAT UNCLE,

WHAT'S HIS NAME? UNCLE BUCK OR WHATEVER, WHAT'S HIS

NAME? UNCLE EDDIE SHOWS UP, THAT'S SOME OF YOUR HOUSE.

IT'S THANKSGIVING DINNER, YOU GOT THE HOUSE CLEAN, AND

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAMPER, YOU KNOW, THE RV SHOWS UP,

(IMITATES ENGINE REVVING) AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH GOD, AND

YOU'RE OUT THERE PRAYING, I PLEAD THE BLOOD, AND IN FACT

I REBUKE THAT GOAT. RIGHT? HOW MANY EVER DID THAT? AND

THEY GET OUT OF THEIR CAR AND THEY START MANIFESTING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M HERE. BUT THEN WHEN THEY START

GOING TO THE DOOR, THEY'RE LIKE, (IMITATES CAR ENGINE)

'CAUSE YOU PRAYED AHEAD OF TIME, RIGHT? BUT JESUS IS

RIGHT. MOM, AM I DESCRIBING OUR THANKSGIVING? OKAY,

SHE'S SHAKING HER HEAD. I'M JUST KINDA JUST CHECKING

OVER THERE, ALL RIGHT. FROM HENCEFORTH, THERE'LL BE FIVE

IN ONE HOUSE AND THEY'RE GONNA BE DIVIDED. THREE

AGAINST TWO, TWO AGAINST THREE. YEP, YEP. THAT'S THE

WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW BETWEEN BRENDA AND I AND THE FOUR

DOGS. THE THREE GERMAN SHEPHERDS AND THE SHIH TZU

AND ME ARE ON ONE SIDE, BRENDA IS ON THE OTHER.

RIGHT? YEP, YEP, YEP, YEP. WE ALL GO OUTDOORS AND TAKE

CARE OF THE DOG WASTE, BUT SHE DOESN'T. IT'S DIVIDED.

WE ALL LOVE HERBIE, BUT BRENDA, WHEN I GOT BACK, SHE

FOUND MORE BIRD FEATHERS IN HIS KENNEL FROM A NEW BIRD.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW, SHIH TZUS HAVE THE WOLF GENE IN THEM.

AND HE'S OUT THERE WOLFING AROUND. SO I CALL HIM WOOFIE

NOW. I'M LIKE, WOOFIE, WOULD YOU STOP THIS STUFF? SHE

TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY, SHE SAID, I THINK WE NEED TO

GIVE HIM TO THE ZOO. AND I SAID, BRENDA, LUKE 12:52,

Luke 12:52

FROM HENCEFORTH, THERE'S GONNA BE ONE AGAINST FIVE.

WE ALL WANNA KEEP HERBIE. AND SHE'S ONLY JOKING. BUT

ANYWAY, ARE YOU HERE? ALL RIGHT, NOW LET'S GO ON. LOOK

AT WHAT HE SAID, VERSE 53. THIS ISN'T EVEN MY MESSAGE,

BUT I JUST THOUGHT, SURE. LOOK AT VERSE 53, 'CAUSE

THANKSGIVING'S COMING, WE GOTTA GET PREPARED, RIGHT?

"THE FATHER SHALL BE DIVIDED AGAINST THE SON, "AND THE

SON AGAINST THE FATHER, "AND THE MOTHER AGAINST THE

DAUGHTER, "AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST THE MOTHER, "THE

MOTHER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, "AND THE

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW, "AND THE

SON-IN-LAW HAS TO DEAL WITH THE MOTHER-IN-LAW." AND MOM,

OH, HOW YOU DOING? I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING TODAY. I

JUST DID THAT 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING. NOW, HERE'S

THE POINT. YOU CAN SEE THAT JESUS WAS SERIOUS. THERE'S A

PRICE TO PAY. SO WHAT DO WE DO? DO WE JUST BECOME, YOU

KNOW, A COMPROMISED GROUP OF PEOPLE BECAUSE WE ALWAYS

JUST WANNA FIT IN? WE GOTTA MAKE EVERYBODY LIKE US. NO,

WE NEED TO PLEASE JESUS. NOW, I WANNA SHOW YOU WHAT

JESUS SAID. LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 22. SO HE'S GETTING

Matthew 22 · chapter mention

INTERVIEWED BY A LAWYER. AND THE LAWYER WAS TRYING TO

TRAP HIM. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER BEEN IN A LAWYER'S

OFFICE? OKAY, ONE THAT'S NOT FOR YOU. YOU EVER BEEN?

THEY'RE VERY GOOD WITH THEIR WORDS, RIGHT? KIND OF LIKE

THE SLIME BALL MEDIA. THEY KNOW HOW TO TRY TO INTERVIEW

YOU AND THEY WON'T LET YOU ANSWER LIKE HOW YOU REALLY

ARE ANSWERING. THEY WANNA CHANGE IT, RIGHT? SO MASTER,

THEY SAID, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE

LAW? AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, YOU SHOULD LOVE THE

LORD YOUR GOD. STOP RIGHT THERE. MOST OF THE WORLD'S

PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED IF PEOPLE REALLY, REALLY HAD A

LOVE FOR GOD. 'CAUSE IF YOU LOVE GOD, HE'S NUMBER ONE.

YOU LOVE GOD, HIS HEART MEANS MORE TO YOU THAN YOUR

OWN LIFE, IMAGE, FEELINGS, REPUTATION. YOUR LIFESTYLE

BECOMES CONDUCIVE TO WHAT HE WANTS, NOT WHAT YOU WANT. IF

YOU LOVE GOD, WELL, WHERE DOES IT START? HEART TO

HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, YOUR FEELINGS, YOUR MIND,

YOUR WILL. AND THEN NOTICE HE SAID THIS, "AND THE

SECOND GREATEST COMMANDMENT IS THIS, "THAT YOU SHOULD

LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD," AND THE NEXT VERSE, "YOUR

NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." THAT'S THE FIRST

COMMANDMENT. HE SAID THE SECOND ONE IS YOU SHOULD

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. NOW WHY, SEE HE

WAS TRYING TO, IN THE PREVIOUS VERSE, I DIDN'T

SHOW YOU THIS, BUT IN MATTHEW 22, IT SAYS THE

LAWYER WAS TRYING TO TRAP HIM. BECAUSE THE LAWYER KNEW

THE LAW, KNEW WHAT THE COMMANDMENTS SAID. AND HE

WAS GONNA SEE IF JESUS WAS GONNA RECITE THE 10

COMMANDMENTS AND THEN GET, YOU KNOW, OUT OF ALL OF THE

LAW, HE WAS GONNA, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO

FULFILL ALL THE LAW, RIGHT? SO THEY WERE TRYING TO TRAP

JESUS. BUT WHAT HE DID, JESUS IS SMART, PUT THE 10

COMMANDMENTS UP. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

LOOK AT WHAT JESUS DOES. HE DIVIDES THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

INTO TWO PARTS. THERE'S 10 COMMANDMENTS. THEY CAN BE

DIVIDED UP INTO TWO PARTS, LOVING GOD AND LOVING

PEOPLE. NOW WATCH THIS. HERE'S THE LOVING GOD. THOU

SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM. OKAY, THAT MEANS

FOOTBALL. COME ON, NO. NO, NO, NO. SOMETIMES I DO GET

TIRED OF FOOTBALL. I GET TIRED OF FOOTBALL IN

AMERICA. NOW TONIGHT I'M GONNA WATCH SUNDAY NIGHT IN

AMERICA BECAUSE I HAVE GOD BEFORE FOOTBALL. BUT THERE'S

SOME FOLK THAT GOT IT WRONG. THEY GOT FOOTBALL BEFORE

GOD. THEY GOT DECORATING BEFORE GOD, RIGHT? THEY GOT

THEIR PHONE BEFORE GOD. THEY GOT THEIR FRIENDS BEFORE

GOD. THEY GOT THE GYM IN THE MORNING BEFORE THEIR TIME

WITH GOD. RIGHT? IF THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS, IS

GOD NUMBER ONE? ONLY YOU AND HIM KNOW. BUT THEN ACCORDING

TO YOUR LIFESTYLE, JESUS SAID YOU COULD, SEE PEOPLE

SAY THIS ALL THE TIME, DON'T JUDGE, DON'T JUDGE ME. YOU KNOW

THAT'S UNBIBLICAL. WELL, PASTOR HANK, THAT IS HERESY. THE BIBLE

SAYS JUDGE NOT. CAN I GIVE YOU A CLUE? IT DIDN'T SAY

YOU CAN'T JUDGE. SAID JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED. WHAT

IT MEANS IS IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CANNOT JUDGE SOMEONE OR

JUDGE SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEONE OR JUDGE WHAT THAT

PERSON IS DOING, WHAT THEY STAND FOR, AND EVEN WHO THEY

ARE. WHAT JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 7, HE SAID, "LISTEN,

YOU KNOW A TREE BY ITS FRUIT. "SO IF YOUR FRUIT IS

BAD, "THEN I JUDGE YOU ACCORDING TO JESUS AS A

CORRUPT TREE." YOU'RE A CORRUPT PERSON. I DON'T

WANNA BE AROUND YOU BECAUSE IF I HANG AROUND YOU, YOU

HAVE BAD FRUIT AND I AIN'T GONNA EAT FROM YOUR TREE. SO

I JUDGE YOU AS AN IMMORAL PERSON BECAUSE WHEN YOU OPEN

YOUR MOUTH, YOU TALK DIRTY. I'M GONNA JUDGE YOU AS A

COMPROMISED CHRISTIAN BECAUSE YOU REALLY DON'T ACT

LIKE YOU ARE THAT ON FIRE FOR GOD. I'M JUDGING YOU

BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU LOVE GOD BUT YET YOU DON'T ASSEMBLE

WITH OTHER BELIEVERS. (CONGREGATION CHEERING) I'M

JUDGING YOU AND I'M SAYING YOU'RE A LIAR BECAUSE YOU

HAVE CONSTANTLY COMING FROM YOUR MOUTH LIES AND

EXAGGERATION. I'M JUDGING YOU AS A PERSON I'M NOT

DATING. JESUS SAID, "JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED." IN

OTHER WORDS, DON'T JUDGE, DON'T POINT SOMETHING OUT ON

SOMEBODY. LOOK AT THE FINGERS POINTING BACK IF

YOU'RE GUILTY. THAT'S WHAT THAT VERSE MEANS. AND SO

WHAT WE HAVE, PUT THE COMMANDMENTS UP. THOU SHALL

HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. HOW HARD IS THIS? THOU

SHALL NOT MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGES. CAN I TELL YOU,

SOCIAL MEDIA. SELFIES EVERY SINGLE DAY. WHY DO YOU HAVE

TO POST EVERY SINGLE DAY A PICTURE OF YOURSELF? YOU

HAVE BECOME YOUR OWN IDOL. AND THE BIBLE SAYS NO MAN

HAS EVER HATED HIS OWN FLESH, AND IT'S PROVEN BY

ALL THE PICTURES THAT ARE OUT THERE ON YOUR SOCIAL

MEDIA PAGE OF YOURSELF. AND I CAN'T FIND AS MANY

SCRIPTURES OR MORE SCRIPTURES THAN YOURSELF.

THEN WHO IS GOD? YOU ARE GOD. OH, I'M PREACHING SO

GOOD, I'M ABOUT READY TO LEAVE. I'M PREACHING SO

GOOD, I'M ABOUT READY TO GO GET ME SOME HASH BROWNS AND

SOME EGGS. 'CAUSE Y'ALL AIN'T READY FOR THIS. THOU

SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS. YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY GRAVEN

IMAGE. YOU CAN DRESS UP FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS, BUT YOU

CAN'T DRESS UP FOR CHURCH. PREACHERS TODAY, THEY ALL

GOTTA LOOK TRENDY WITH THEIR UGLY, HAIRY LEGS AND SHORTS

AND THEIR, WHAT DO THEY CALL THOSE THINGS, THE THONGS ON

THEIR FEET? OR FLIP FLOPS, WHAT DID I SAY THONGS FOR,

WHAT THE HECK? I MEAN, I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST SOME

PREACHERS THAT SHOW UP WITH HAIRY LEGS AND A THONG

NOWADAYS. A SPEEDO, LORD, HELP ME, JESUS. I MEAN, THE

CULTURE'S GOING THE WAY OF THE SPEEDO, WE'RE ALL GONNA

GO THE WAY OF SPEEDO, RIGHT? MY LORD, GET NO VISIONS OF

THAT. AND YET I READ IN MY BIBLE WHERE GOD WANTED TO

MAKE IT SO CLEAR THAT HE DRESSED JOHN THE BAPTIST

WITH CAMEL SKIN. HE DRESSED THE PRIEST IN THE OLD

TESTAMENT DOWN TO THEIR UNDERWEAR, HOW THEY WERE

SUPPOSED TO BE DRESSED TO SERVE IN THE MINISTRY. LOOK

SHARP. LET PEOPLE LOOK UP TO YOU AND SEE AUTHORITY, FEEL

AUTHORITY. NOT THIS, YEAH MAN, JUST WANNA BE LIKE ALL

OF YOU. AND WHATEVER IT IS THAT IT IS. PASTOR POPULAR,

WITH HIS MUSCLE SHIRT. YOU KNOW, WITH A LITTLE TIGHT

T-SHIRT SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE HIS MUSCLES. WELL, PASTOR

HANK, YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS. LISTEN, I GOT A ONE AND A

HALF PACK AB. I'M OKAY, I'M VERY SECURE. (CONGREGATION

CHEERING) IN FACT, I GOTTA TELL YOU THIS. YOU WANNA

TALK ABOUT LOVE AND HONOR? I WAS LISTENING TO A PREACHER.

HE WAS CALLING OUT, NO, SOMEBODY WAS CALLING OUT

SOMEBODY BEING FAT. I KNOW ONE WAS JIM FLOWERS. BUT NO,

I CAME ACROSS, I DON'T EVEN SEARCH SOCIAL MEDIA, I'M

SICK OF IT. BUT I CAME ACROSS THIS GUY'S COMMENT

ABOUT SOME PREACHER. AND HE SAID, "OH, WELL NOBODY COULD

RECEIVE FROM YOU PREACHER BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS YOUR

BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND YOU

SHOULDN'T BE FAT IF YOU ARE HONORING THE TEMPLE." AND I

STARTED LOOKING AROUND AND SOMETHING LANDED ON MY

SHOULDER. REMEMBER OLD FRIEND FLINTSTONE? "HEY,

MAKE A FAKE NAME, HANK." THE OTHER ONE, "DON'T DO IT."

[LAUGHTER] "MAKE A FAKE NAME AND COMMENT." (AUDIENCE

LAUGHING) I AM, AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, I AM SO

BOLD, I WILL JUST PUT MY NAME OUT THERE. DON'T DO IT

FOR THE SAKE OF GOD HIMSELF AND YOUR MINISTRY. I'M LIKE,

NO, I WANT THEM TO HEAR WHAT HANK KUNNEMAN'S GONNA SAY.

SO THEY'RE CALLING THIS PREACH OUT, YOU SHOULDN'T BE

FAT. YOUR BODY'S THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND I

ALMOST PUT, ONE VOICE MINISTRIES, THIS IS HANK

KUNNEMAN. DUDE, DO IT, HANK! DO IT. (LAUGHING) MY FINGERS

STARTED BURNING. (GROWLING) 'CAUSE WHAT I HEARD, I DON'T

THINK THEY WERE GONNA LIKE, 'CAUSE I WAS GONNA WRITE

THIS. YOU ARE CALLING OUT THIS PREACHER FOR BEING FAT

OR HEAVY, AND YOU DON'T KNOW MAYBE THEIR STORY, BUT YOU

TALK ABOUT THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT

OF GOD SAYS TO YOU, (IMITATES EXPLOSION) DON'T

DO IT. YOU AND YOUR TEMPLE HAVE A SEXUAL PERVERTED

LUSTFUL EYE AND YOUR FINGERS IS THE TEMPLE THAT IS

WATCHING AND SEARCHING PORNOGRAPHY. AND YOUR TONGUE

IS ALSO PART OF YOUR TEMPLE. AND YOU AIN'T USING IT

RIGHT, YOU IDIOT. HANK KUNNEMAN, THUS SAITH THE

LORD. BUT NOBODY SEES HIS LUSTFUL EYE. NOBODY SEES HIS

DIRTY, ROTTEN, FILTHY, SMELLY TEMPLE WITH HIS

FINGERS LOOKING AT PORNOGRAPHY. 'CAUSE THERE

WAS NO HONOR IN THAT PERSON'S HEART. BUT BECAUSE

THERE'S HONOR IN MY HEART, I BACKED MY FINGERS AWAY. COME

HERE AGAIN, PLEASE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) YOU

GOTTA WATCH IT. LEBANON, PUT THE COMMANDMENTS UP. MAN, I

AM NOT EVEN PREACHING ANYTHING I'M SUPPOSED TO

PREACH. ALL RIGHT, THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS

BEFORE ME. THOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY GRAVE AMISSES. THOU

SHALL NOT TAKE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN. NOW, DON'T USE

THE WORDS JIMINY CHRISTMASES. THAT MIGHT'VE

JUST OFFENDED YOU RIGHT THERE, BUT I'M SAYING IT SO

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. DON'T SAY GD. DON'T USE, WHAT DO

YOU CALL IT, SUBSTITUTION. STOP IT. IF GOD SAID, "DON'T

CUSS LIKE A SAILOR, "ESPECIALLY WITH HIS NAME,"

THEN QUIT DOING IT. NO EXCUSES, NO EXCUSES.

REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, NOW IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,

THEY WOULD HONOR THE SABBATH DAY, A DAY OF REST. TODAY,

WE'RE TO HONOR A DAY. THAT'S WHY WE ASSEMBLED THE EARLY

CHURCH. IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, RIGHT? WELL,

THEN IF YOU'RE A LIVE STREAM E-MEMBER, DON'T SKIP JUST

BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM AND THE LIBERTY IN YOUR OWN

HOME TO WATCH WHEN YOU WANT. NO, CHURCH STARTS AT NINE,

AND THIS IS YOUR CHURCH. AS YOUR PASTOR, GET THERE. IF

THIS IS YOUR CHURCH, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING ONLINE AND YOU'RE A MEMBER, GET HERE. DON'T JUST

BE AN ONLINE PERSON. NOW, I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU'RE NOT

ABLE TO MAKE IT, OR WHATEVER, I GET IT. WE HAVE

2,000 MEMBERS HERE. YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IF I LOOKED

OUT HERE THIS MORNING. 'CAUSE WE AIN'T HONORING.

THE BIBLE SAYS IN HEBREWS 10:25, "DON'T FORSAKE THE

Hebrews 10:25

ASSEMBLING TOGETHER, "THERE'S POWER IN IT."

LISTEN, IF WE LEARN ANYTHING FROM THE FAKE MEDIA AND THE

LIBERAL LUNATICS, THE DEMOCRATS, IT'S AMAZING TO

ME HOW UNITED THEY ARE FOR THE THINGS THAT WE ARE

CONTENDING WITH FOR OUR CHILDREN, OUR HOMES, FOR

GOD, AND THEY'RE UNITED. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE ABOUT

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY? WHEN THEY GET THEIR OPPORTUNITY,

WHEN THEY'RE IN POWER, THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING. THEY

ARGUE OVER EVERYTHING, RIGHT? YOU COULD, AMEN,

'CAUSE THAT'S TRUE. THEY'RE RHINOCEROS SPIRIT. YOU DON'T

WANT ME TO KEEP PREACHING. I'M JUST, BRENDA, GO AHEAD

AND CALL AHEAD TO THE DINER OVER HERE AND JUST ORDER ME

SOME, I WANT CHICKEN, FRIED STEAK, EGGS, SUNNY SIDE UP,

HASH BROWNS, I'M ABOUT TO END MY MESSAGE. PUT THE

OTHER COMMANDMENT UP. OH BOY. HONOR THY FATHER AND

THY MOTHER. NOTICE THE WORD HONOR, TWO FOUNDATIONAL

THINGS, LOVE AND HONOR. NOW, WHAT YOU SEE THERE IN THE

FIRST HALF IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT. IF YOU LOVE

GOD, THAT'S THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT. YOU WOULD DO

ALL OF THOSE THINGS. NOW WATCH, IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY

ELSE OR OTHER PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY YOUR MOM AND DAD,

YOU'RE GONNA HONOR THEM. NOW KIDS, KIDS, KIDS, LOOK AT

ME. I WANT EVERYBODY, I WANT EVERY KID TO LOOK AT ME. DO

YOU WANNA LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH? DO YOU WANT IT TO BE

WELL WITH YOU? NO, I WANT EYEBALLS. IF YOUR KID IS

SITTING NEXT TO YOU, MAKE HIM LOOK AT ME. THIS SECTION

OVER HERE, LOOK AT ME. HI, LOOK AT ME. YOU LOOK AT ME.

LOOK AT ME. I'M GONNA CALL YOU OUT IF YOU DON'T LOOK AT ME.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) I DON'T SEE SOMEBODY LOOKING

AT ME, LOOK AT ME. IS GOD LYING WHEN HE SAYS,

"CHILDREN, OBEY YOUR PARENTS IN THE LORD, "FOR IT IS

RIGHT," NOT WRONG, "THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU." DO

YOU WANT IT TO BE WELL WITH YOU? THEN DON'T BE A

REBELLIOUS KID. AND IT SAYS, "YOU'LL LIVE LONG IN THE

EARTH." NOW, CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING? IT DIDN'T SAY,

"EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT ARE 25 AND UNDER." SO EVERY

CHILD OF GOD, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME. HOW MANY OF YOU,

YOUR PARENTS ARE STILL ALIVE? MOM, I COULD DO

BETTER AND I'M GONNA GET BETTER. I HAVE TO SAY THAT

'CAUSE MY OWN HEART CONVICTS ME. NOW LISTEN TO ME, IT

DIDN'T PUT AN AGE LIMIT. DIDN'T PUT AN AGE LIMIT.

HONOR YOUR MOTHER. SO IS IT RIGHT TO BE NASTY TO YOUR

PARENTS? IS IT RIGHT TO CALL THEM OLD MAN, OLD WOMAN? IS

IT RIGHT TO NOT LISTEN TO THEM? IS IT RIGHT TO ARGUE

AND FIGHT AND SPIT? IS IT RIGHT? NO. HONOR YOUR MOTHER

AND FATHER. LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. NOTICE WHAT IT

SAYS. THOU SHALL NOT KILL. MAN, DID YOU HEAR WHAT POPE

LEO SAID? HE IS AN IDIOT. POPE LEO, I HOPE I MEET YOU,

'CAUSE I WILL NOT SHOW REGARD TO YOU. I AIN'T GONNA

KISS YOUR RING OR YOUR BUTT. HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THE

DEATH PENALTY. AND THEN HE STARTED BACKTRACKING HIS STANCE

ON ABORTION. RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, THIS

AND THAT. I WANNA SAY, FIRST OF ALL, THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN KILLING A BABY IN THE WOMB AND THE DEATH

PENALTY, SOMEBODY THAT'S GUILTY IS THAT BABY DIDN'T

DO ANYTHING. POPE, LEO. IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME, YOU'RE

FROM CHICAGO, RIGHT? NOT THAT PEOPLE, YOU THAT ARE

FROM CHICAGO ARE BAD, BUT LET'S FACE IT, LOOK AT YOUR

MAYOR. LOOK AT WHAT THE PEOPLE VOTE IN. THAT OUGHT

TO BE A CLUE OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE AND WHAT THEY STAND

FOR. OKAY? SORRY, YOU FORMER CATHOLICS. LET ME JUST, HOW

DID MY DAD TEACH ME? HOW DID HE TEACH ME? YOUR GLASSES,

ALL THAT. YEAH, THERE YOU GO, OKAY. NOW HERE'S THE

THING. LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE. THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT

ADULTERY. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) NOW LISTEN TO

ME. PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY, YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, PASTOR

HANK? I'VE HEARD LADIES, I WOULD NEVER COMMIT ADULTERY

ON MY HUSBAND. AND I'VE HAD PEOPLE LEAVE THE CHURCH

BECAUSE ONE DAY I WAS PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT OF

GOD, SAID I WANNA SHOW YOU SOMETHING. SHOWED ME THREE

LADIES. SAID GET 'EM ALL TOGETHER WITH THEIR

HUSBANDS. THIS WAS BACK WHEN I USED TO, I DON'T DO THE

MARRIAGE COUNSELING AND ALL THAT STUFF ANYMORE HERE. I

SCARED TOO MANY PEOPLE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT

IF GOD TELLS ME, I GET INVOLVED. AND SO I CALLED

HIM IN, I TOLD HIM, I SAID, I JUST WANNA TALK TO YOU

ABOUT SOMETHING THE LORD SAID THAT HAS TO DO WITH

SOME CHANGES THAT HE WANTS. AND I SAID, THE LORD TOLD

ME, YOU THREE LADIES ARE COMMITTING ADULTERY. AND

THEY SAID, NO, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE FAITHFUL. I SAID, I'M

NOT TALKING ABOUT SEXUAL ADULTERY. YOU'RE COMMITTING

EMOTIONAL ADULTERY. YOUR HUSBAND'S COME HOME FROM

WORK AND YOU'RE NOT THERE BECAUSE YOU GOT A CHICKY

CLUB. AND Y'ALL HANGING OUT ALL DAY LONG, YOU AND YOUR

KIDS, AND YOUR HOUSE AIN'T CLEAN, FOOD ISN'T THERE FOR

YOUR SPOUSE WHO WORKS TO BRING THE BREAD. THIS IS A

FORM OF ADULTERY. YOU ARE GIVING YOUR EMOTIONS, YOU

TALK ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND AND ALL OF HIS PROBLEMS, EVERY

ONE OF YOU. AND YOU ARE GIVING A PART OF YOUR SOUL

THE INTIMACY OF IT THAT BELONGS IN YOUR MARRIAGE TO

ONE ANOTHER. AND GOD SAYS IT'S OUT OF LINE, AND THEY

GOT MAD AT ME AND LEFT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT

CALLING ANYBODY OUT. I THINK EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE

DIVORCED TODAY. ADULTERY ISN'T JUST THE SEXUAL.

SOMETIMES, WHAT ARE YOU GIVING YOURSELF TO? IF

YOU'RE GIVING YOURSELF MORE TO YOUR BODY AT THE GYM THAN

YOU ARE GOD, YOU'RE COMMITTING A FORM OF

PHYSICAL ADULTERY. I'M NOT OUT OF LINE. THOU, HOW ABOUT

YOUR CELL PHONE? YOU'RE IN LOVE MORE WITH YOUR WIFE,

YOUR CELL PHONE, THAN YOU ARE YOUR OWN WIFE. YOU'RE

MORE IN LOVE WITH THE CELL PHONE OF YOUR HUSBAND THAN

YOUR OWN HUSBAND. YOUR CELL PHONE GETS MORE ATTENTION,

MORE TIME, MORE TOUCH, MORE FEELING. IT GETS TURNED ON

MORE THAN YOU TRY TO TURN YOUR SPOUSE ON. THAT WAS

REALLY REACHING, BUT THAT MIGHT WORK. (CONGREGATION

LAUGHING) TRYING TO MAKE A PHONE CONNECTION HERE.

TRYING TO, OH STOP, I'M TRYING, YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING, BAIL ME OUT. I'M TRYING TO MAKE A PHONE

CONNECTION. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) YOU GOT THAT

DOORDASH ORDER? ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. OKAY, LOOK AT THE

NEXT ONE. LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THOU SHALL NOT

STEAL. THAT'S CALLED CHEATING ON TAXES. THAT'S

LIKE THOSE EXTRA ITEMS THAT YOU GET THAT YOU DON'T EVER

MENTION THAT YOU GOT 'EM. THEY JUST HAPPEN TO APPEAR

IN YOUR BAG BY MISTAKE, RIGHT? AT THE CHECKOUT. MAN,

I HAD THAT HAPPENING ONE DAY. GOT SOME STUFF IN MY

BAG, AND IT WAS A LOT OF STUFF. AND I WAS LIKE, WOW,

MAN, THIS IS A LOT OF STUFF. I'LL CALL 'EM TOMORROW. I

DIDN'T CALL 'EM TOMORROW. AND EVERY TIME I PRAYED, I

KEPT SEEING THAT BAG WITH THOSE EXTRA STUFF FROM THE

HOBBY STORE. I SAID, MAN, I GOTTA CALL. AND IT WASN'T

THAT I WASN'T GONNA CALL, IT'S JUST I GOT BUSY. BUT

YOU KNOW, GOD DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY SCHEDULE. 'CAUSE I

ASKED HIM TO KEEP ME ON A SHORT LEASH. I'M NOT A

THIEF, NOR WOULD I HAVE BEEN. I JUST DIDN'T PRIORITIZE

IT. AND GOD, MY FATHER, WAS GOING LIKE THIS. THREE

DAYS HAVE GONE BY, YOU HAVEN'T DEALT WITH IT. NOW CALL HIM.

- I DIDN'T TAKE IT. OH MY GOD, MY WIFE JUST, GIVE HER

A MICROPHONE. MY WIFE WANTED ME TO CLARIFY. HUH, I DID

NOT STEAL IT, I DID NOT TAKE IT. I DID NOT STEAL IT, I

DID NOT TAKE IT. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) I'VE

NEVER STOLEN ANYTHING BUT A PACK OF GUM WHEN I WAS 10

YEARS OLD, AND I RETURNED IT WITH A QUARTER IN IT. THERE.

THANK YOU, BRENDA. I DIDN'T STEAL IT, THEY PUT IT IN

THERE EXTRA BY ACCIDENT. AND I DIDN'T GET CHARGED FOR IT.

IT WAS BASICALLY ITEMS THAT, NO, I THINK IT WAS ITEMS

THAT I GRABBED AND THEN SOME EXTRAS THAT IT DIDN'T SHOW

ON THE RECEIPT. SO THREE DAYS LATER I CALLED THEM AND

I SAID, I AM SO SORRY, I FEEL HORRIBLE AS A CHRISTIAN

MAN. THEN I'M CALLING YOU THREE DAYS LATER AND I AM

TELLING YOU, I HAVE EXTRA ITEMS IN MY BAG THAT WERE

NOT PAID FOR. AND I JUST, NO, THIS MAY SOUND WEIRD,

BUT EVERY TIME I WOULD PRAY, THE LORD TOLD ME THAT I

NEEDED TO DEAL WITH THIS AND I KEPT PROCRASTINATING

BECAUSE I GOT BUSY AND I'M JUST APOLOGIZING AND I WANNA

GIVE EXTRA FOR YOUR BUSINESS. HE SAID, YOU WANNA

GIVE EXTRA FOR MY BUSINESS? I SAID, ABSOLUTELY, I'M

GONNA COME, I'M GONNA PAY FOR IT AND THEN I WANNA GIVE

YOU A LITTLE EXTRA FOR YOUR BUSINESS. AND I DID, NOW I'M

NOT A HERO, BUT I DIDN'T WANT THAT THING BUGGING ME

ANYMORE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) RIGHT? MY WIFE,

YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HER IN CHARGE OF THE

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT? AND WE HAVE PRIVATE AUDITS FROM

INDEPENDENT FIRMS AND THEY SAY WE HAVE NEVER SEEN

BUSINESSES AND MINISTRIES LIKE THIS. 'CAUSE MY WIFE,

SHE'LL FIND THE PENNY. SHE WILL ACCOUNT FOR EVERY

SINGLE DOLLAR, EVERY SINGLE DIME. AND I'M GONNA ASK YOU,

JUDY, YOU WORK IN THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT, IS

THAT NOT TRUE? YOU HAVE TO BE THAT KIND OF PERSON. YOU

CANNOT BE A THIEF. AND THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING IT,

BECAUSE BOY, THAT COULD HAVE GONE VIRAL. ALL RIGHT, PUT

UP THE NEXT ONE. I'M ALMOST DONE. PASTOR KEITH, YOU CAN

GO AHEAD AND START COMING, 'CAUSE I'M ALMOST DONE. HOW

MANY MORE COMMANDMENTS DO I HAVE? (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

YOU KNOW, THERE WERE THREE TABLETS, BUT HE DROPPED ONE

OF THEM, MOSES, AND SO NOW THERE WAS TWO. I'M JUST

TEASING. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? DO YOU KNOW THE TEN

COMMANDMENTS WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN FIRST TIME BY GOD,

BY HIS FINGER, AND THEN MOSES BROKE 'EM? I DON'T

KNOW. I THINK THAT'S TO ME LIKE NOT TREATING YOUR BIBLE

RIGHT. YOU KNOW, GETTING IT DUSTY, LETTING IT GET

STOMPED ON, RIGHT? AND GOD CALLED HIM BACK UP TO THE

MOUNT AND MADE MOSES HAND WRITE THE WHOLE LAW, NOT

JUST 10 COMMANDMENTS, MAN, THE WHOLE LAW. CAN YOU

IMAGINE THAT? IT'S LIKE EQUIVALENT TO MODERN

TRANSLATION. HE HAD TO WRITE SENTENCES. I THOUGHT THAT

WAS A GREAT ANALOGY. OKAY, YOU WANT ME TO BE DONE?

BRENDA, IS IT READY YET, THE ORDER? GET ORANGE JUICE OR

CRANBERRY JUICE. HERE WE GO, READY? THOU SHALL NOT BEAR

FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR. YOU KNOW HOW MANY

TIMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA, I GET FED UP WITH IT. WHERE I'VE

SEEN THROUGH THE YEARS PEOPLE CALLING OUT

PREACHERS, ACCUSING THEM OF THIS AND ACCUSING THEM OF

THAT, AND I KNOW THE PREACHER. AND I'M LIKE, THEY

HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. THEY JUST

READ SOMETHING THAT SOMEBODY SAID ABOUT THE PREACHER AND

MADE UP A BUNCH OF STORIES, RIGHT? AND THEN EVERYBODY

BELIEVES IT. DEPENDS UPON WHAT STORY YOU READ FIRST,

RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. WHOEVER GETS TO TELL

THE STORY FIRST, PEOPLE BELIEVE. THAT'S WHAT WE SEE

WITH OUR CHOIR. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE LAW FAIR TODAY,

RIGHT? YOU GET THESE ME TOO WOMEN, RIGHT? THEY WERE ALL

COMING IN THERE AND GOT TO TELL THEIR STORY. AND THEN

BY THE TIME THEY TOLD THEIR STORY, AND MAYBE SOME OF

THEM WAS TRUE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT THERE WERE SOME THAT

WERE PROVEN TO BE FAKE. BUT BECAUSE THEY GOT TO SHARE

THEIR STORY AND THEY CRIED AND LIED AND BORE FALSE

WITNESS, PEOPLE BELIEVED IT BECAUSE THEY WERE CRYING AND

THAT POOR PERSON, AND THEY LIED UNDER OATH. BECAUSE

THEY DIDN'T REGARD THAT COMMANDMENT. IT'S NOT RIGHT

TO GET ON AND ACCUSE. IT'S NOT RIGHT TO GET ON AND BEAR

FALSE WITNESS. IT'S NOT RIGHT TO GET ON SOCIAL

MEDIA, RIGHT? TALK ABOUT PEOPLE, CALL PEOPLE OUT. I

MEAN, I JUST WONDER ANYMORE, CAN PEOPLE JUST BE KIND?

IT'S LIKE, IT'S AMAZING TO ME HOW MANY PEOPLE JUMP ON

THE BANDWAGON OF ONCE INFORMATION IS RELEASED

ABOUT SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY, THEY IMMEDIATELY BELIEVE IT.

COME ON, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE HAVING WHAT'S CALLED

SCAMMERS NOW, RIGHT? IS THAT WHAT THAT'S CALLED, WHERE

PEOPLE CALL INTO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, IS THAT RIGHT,

CAPTAIN, AND THEY MAKE UP A BUNCH OF STORIES THAT AREN'T

TRUE? YOU'RE NOT TO BEAR FALSE WITNESS, YOU'RE NOT TO

LIE. THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE TRUTH IN YOUR MOUTH. THAT'S

WHY I CALL OUT THE LYING MEDIA, 'CAUSE I THINK IT'S

ABSOLUTELY WRONG TO MAKE UP LIES. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE

A REPUBLICAN, A DEMOCRAT. I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE PART

OF TRUMP'S PARTY, OR YOU'RE PART OF THE DEMOCRATIC

PARTY, AND YOU WRITE FOR TRUMP, OR YOU DON'T WRITE

FOR TRUMP. YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH, AND YOU CAN'T

BEAR FALSE WITNESS. THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH OUR

COUNTRY, THE REASON WHY IT'S SO DIVISIVE. NOBODY KNOWS

WHAT TO BELIEVE AND WHO TO BELIEVE. AND IN THE HOUR OF

AI, YOU CAN TYPE ANYTHING YOU WANT IN ABOUT SOMEBODY

AND MANIPULATE IT AND FAKE IT. AND WHAT'S EVEN WORSE IS

BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE'RE NOT PEOPLE OF THE

WORD, WE DON'T HAVE OUR SENSES, RIGHT? SHARPENED TO

WHERE WE CAN DISCERN ANYMORE BETWEEN WHAT IS TRUTH AND

WHAT IS WRONG. SO WE'RE JUST GONNA BELIEVE WHATEVER THE

STORY IS 'CAUSE WE READ IT ONLINE. OKAY, LET ME GIVE

YOU AN EXAMPLE. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW OUR OLD TABERNACLE?

RIGHT? I REMEMBER ONE TIME I RAN INTO SOMEBODY IN TOWN

AND THEY SAID, "YEAH, YOU KNOW, "I WAS THINKING ABOUT

COMING TO YOUR CHURCH, BUT I READ IN LINE THAT Y'ALL

SACRIFICE CHICKENS IN YOUR BASEMENT." [LAUGHTER] AND I

LOOKED AT HIM. I WAS IN THE GROCERY STORE. I SAID, WAIT,

WHAT CHURCH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? LORD OF HOSTS. YEAH,

I'LL PASS THAT TO YOU. YEAH, BUT Y'ALL DOING STUFF DOWN

IN THE BASEMENT. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD. AND I SAID TO THE

GUY, I SAID, YOU KNOW, IF I WASN'T A CHRISTIAN, I'D

PROBABLY DEAL WITH YOU A LITTLE DIFFERENT RIGHT NOW.

BUT I'M A CHRISTIAN, AND THAT'S A LIE. AND IT'S

STUPID. AND I SAID, I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT I

THINK YOU'RE AN IDIOT. I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE

THINK. WELL, PASTOR THAT DIDN'T SOUND VERY NICE. NO,

WHAT HE SAID TO ME WASN'T NICE. AND I WANTED TO SET

THE TRUTH. I SAID, FIRST OF ALL, WE DON'T HAVE A

BASEMENT. IT'S A STOREFRONT WITH A CONCRETE SLAB. HE

SAID, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, GO DOWN AND LOOK AT THE

RECORDS. I SAID, SECOND OF ALL, I'M A MAN OF GOD. I

DON'T DO THAT KIND OF IDIOTIC STUFF. AND PEOPLE

BELIEVE THAT. THERE'S PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME TO ME BEFORE.

PASTOR, DO YOU KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE WRITING THAT

USED TO GO TO THIS CHURCH AND THEY'RE SAYING THAT THIS

WAS THIS WAY AND THAT WAS THIS WAY AND THIS IS HOW

THEY WERE TREATED AND THIS IS THAT AND THIS IS THAT. I

SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT IS ALL A BUNCH OF FLUFF. AND

THEN YOU GOT TROLLS OUT THERE LEAVING THEIR TROLL

HOUSE COOKIE DROPS. LITTLE PIECES OF CHOCOLATE CHIP

TROLL DROPPINGS. AND THEY LIE. 'CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE

HONOR IN THEIR HEART. IF YOU DON'T LIKE A CHURCH AND IT

DIDN'T WORK OUT WITH THAT PASTOR AND IT DIDN'T WORK

OUT WITH THAT CHURCH, DON'T YOU DARE GO OUT LYING ABOUT

'EM. 'CAUSE NOW YOU'RE GONNA GET ON THE SIDE OF GOD. AND

GOD WILL DEAL WITH YOU. AND HE WON'T BE NICE. HE'LL BE

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

WHEN YOU AIN'T FEELING WELL ONE DAY AND YOU WONDER WHY

YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT THAT MYSTERIOUS SYMPTOM THAT THE

DOCTORS CAN'T REVEAL. WELL, PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU'RE

DIVIDING THE LORD'S BODY. AND PASTOR BRENDA JUST

SHOWED YOU, THIS IS THE REASON PEOPLE ARE WEAK,

SICK, AND DIE. I DIDN'T WRITE THAT. BECAUSE

SOMEWHERE THEY BORE FALSE WITNESS AGAINST ANOTHER

BELIEVER, AGAINST THE BODY OF CHRIST, OR A CHURCH, A

PREACHER, ANOTHER CHRISTIAN, RIGHT? AND THEY COULDN'T

KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT, THEY LIED TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK

BETTER. AND I ALWAYS SAY THIS, WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE

LIVING RIGHT WITH GOD, LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT,

'CAUSE ULTIMATELY GOD WILL DEFEND YOU, AND SECOND, THEY

WILL PAY FOR IT. ALL RIGHT. HOW MANY MORE OF THESE

COMMANDMENTS ARE THERE? MAN, SOME GUY WENT, ONE. I'M

SORRY, MAN, THAT I TRAUMATIZED YOU, OKAY? HERE

WE GO. THOU SHALL NOT COVET, NOT THY MAID SERVANT, THY

MANSERVANT, THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE, THEIR CAR, THEIR

HOUSE, RIGHT? THEIR WATCH. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HONOR.

I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT HONOR. SO I HAD ONE DAY, SOMEBODY

WAS JUST SO UPSET. HE WANTED TO LET THAT PASTOR KNOW,

THAT PASTOR HANK, THAT THEY WERE SO UPSET BECAUSE OF HIS

EXPENSIVE ROLODEX WATCHES. WAIT, ROLEX WATCHES.

[LAUGHTER] NOT ROLEX. WHICH ONE IS IT? IS IT ROLODEX?

WAIT, WHICH ONE IS THE RIGHT ONE? ROLEX. ROLODEX IS THE

ONE WITH THE CARDS IN IT, RIGHT? I PROBABLY HAVE ONE

OF THOSE TOO, WE DON'T USE THEM. AND SO THEY WERE

CALLING ME OUT FOR THESE BIG WATCHES. RIGHT? THESE BIG

WATCHES. HE'S FLEECING THE SHEEP. HMM. WHAT THEY DIDN'T

KNOW IS A LOT OF WATCHES ARE GIVEN TO ME. I DON'T THINK

I'VE EVER BOUGHT A WATCH. AND THE ONES DOJI BUYS ME,

WHAT ARE THEY, LIKE $90? AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE

$1,000. BUT I HAD A HUMBLING THING. SO I HAD THESE

WATCHES THAT I WAS WEARING. I DON'T WEAR THEM ANYMORE.

WHY? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. SO I HAD THIS BIG OLD WATCH. IT'S

ABOUT THE SIZE OF THIS, AND THEY WERE CALLING OUT MY

ROLEX. IT WASN'T EVEN A ROLEX. IT WAS A BIG OLD

WATCH. IT HAD LIKE A GRANDFATHER-SIZE HEAD ON IT.

I MEAN, I COULD BARELY WALK WITH IT, RIGHT? AND SO, IT

WAS GIVEN, SOME OF THOSE WATCHES WERE GIVEN TO ME IN

SOUTH AMERICA, AND THEY WERE CRYING, "OOOOH!" I'M LIKE,

"OKAY, WE WANT YOU TO HAVE US, THE LORD SENT." I'M

LIKE, "WHOA, THOSE ARE SOME REALLY NICE WATCHES." I

SAID, "NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. "I LIKE WATCHES,

BUT YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT." AND I SAID, "IF YOU

GIVE THEM TO ME, DO I HAVE PERMISSION TO GIVE THEM

AWAY? DO I HAVE PERMISSION TO TAKE THEM AND CASH THEM

IN?" 'CAUSE I'M TRYING TO, AT THAT TIME, WE WERE JUST

TRYING TO, I THINK, TAKE THE ROOF OFF OF THE BUILDING OR

SOMETHING. AND I WAS LIKE, "YOU KNOW, I MAY NEED IT FOR

THE MINISTRY. CAN I USE IT?" "YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU

WANT, BUT THESE ARE YOURS." (MIMICS HIGH-PITCHED VOICE)

AND I HAD LIKE, WHAT, LIKE FIVE OF THEM, RIGHT? THEY'RE

SO EXPENSIVE. AND SO I WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT." I

SHOULDN'T EVEN TELL YOU THIS PART, BUT I'M GONNA TELL YOU

IT BECAUSE IF I CAN USE MY LIFE TO HELP YOU, 'CAUSE IT

HELPED ME, I TOOK THE BIGGEST ONE OUT OF ALL OF

THOSE AND DECIDED TO WEAR IT ON THE AIRPLANE. IT WAS LIKE

THE GRANDFATHER SIZE. YEAH, SO THOSE OF YOU THAT

CRITICIZE ME, OKAY. WELL, YOU PUT YOUR NAME ON YOUR

THING, DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR NAME IS? AGAIN, THAT'S

NOT DISHONOR. WHAT BUSINESS IS IT YOURS? MY SPIRITUAL

SON, DOJI, DID IT AS A WAY OF HONORING ME. WHAT

BUSINESS IS IT OF YOURS? WELL, DO YOU HAVE TO WEAR

HIGH COLLARS? WHAT BUSINESS IS IT IF I LIKE THE HIGH

COLLARS BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN IT USED TO GO LIKE

THIS? AND YOU CALL ME OUT BECAUSE YOU SAY THAT I WAS

SLOPPY. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) WELL, I DON'T

THINK YOU NEED TO WEAR MAKEUP, PASTOR HANK. DO YOU

WANT ME TO, WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE ME? I'M A WHITE GUY.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING) UNDER THE LIGHTS. WHERE'S

PASTOR HANK? IS HE RUPTURED? ALL HE CAN SEE IS CLOTHES

MOVING. IT'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE LITTLE PUPPET THINGS,

YOU KNOW? SO GET BACK TO MY STORY. SO I WORE THIS BIG

OLD WATCH ON THE AIRPLANE. AND THIS WAS, OKAY, GIVE ME

GRACE. I'M ALMOST 60, I WAS ABOUT, JUST ABOUT TO TURN

40. NOT THAT THAT MEANS ANYTHING. BUT IF I HAVE A

TAMTRA, I'M IN MY TERRIBLE 40S, RIGHT? SO HERE'S THE

THING. SO I HAD MY WATCH, AND I PUT MY SUITCASE UP IN

THE OVERHEAD. OH, OH, MADE SURE EVERYBODY SAW MY WATCH.

ASKED THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, WHAT TIME DOES THIS FLIGHT

LAND? DO YOU WANT PRETZELS OR DO YOU WANT WATER OR

CHIPS? (EXHALES) I THINK I WANT PRETZELS. AND I WAS

SHOWING THAT THING OFF AND GOD KEPT SAYING TO ME, HANK,

HANK, HANK, HANK, HANK, HANK, HANK, HANK, HANK,

HANK. STOP IT. LORD, DON'T YOU KNOW MY WATCH? GUY ON

THE PLANE GOES, WHOA, MAN, WHERE'D YOU GET THAT WATCH?

YOU LIKE IT? IT WAS A GIFT. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GET THESE

WATCHES HOME, AND I NOTICE SOMETHING. THEY CAN'T KEEP

TIME. I PULL THE PIN, OR TO TRY TO WIND IT, THE PIN

FALLS OUT. SHOULD HAVE THROWN IT, 'CAUSE AT THAT

POINT, I WAS HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM, I DIDN'T

KNOW IF IT WAS GONNA EXPLODE. WHAT'S A PIN?

YOU'RE LIKE A GRENADE. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING) ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA GET DONE. STAND TO

YOUR FEET, MAN. I'M TRYING TO GET DONE. DO YOU WANT ME

TO FINISH THE STORY? SO, LET ME TELL YOU HOW BAD DISHONOR

AND PRIDE IS. SO I HAD ALL THIS PRIDE TRYING TO SHOW

OFF MY WATCH THAT WERE EXPENSIVE. THEY WEREN'T

WORKING, SO I, I THINK AMY, I THINK I TALKED TO YOU. I

SAID, "AMY, MY WATCHES ARE NOT WORKING." YOU SAID,

"WELL, WE GOT A PLACE OVER HERE YOU CAN TAKE TO." I

SAID, "AMY, THANK YOU, AMY, BY THE WAY, "I'VE BEEN

PRAYING FOR YOU, "AND I'M GONNA SAY THIS WORD TO YOU.

"I PRAYED FOR YOU," 'CAUSE HER BROTHER JUST WENT TO BE

WITH THE LORD, "AND I APOLOGIZE, I GOT BUSY

TRAVELING, "BUT I PRAYED FOR YOU EVERY DAY, "AND I

PRAYED, AND I HEARD THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY, "'THE SEED OF

CHRIST SPROUTED, "'AND THERE WILL BE A REUNION.'"

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) YEAH, JUST ENOUGH, IT

SPROUTED. ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL? ALL RIGHT, SO

ANYWAY, GETTING BACK, WHAT WAS, SO SHE SAID, "WELL,

TAKE THIS TO THIS WATCH PLACE." I SAID, "AMY, THESE

ARE EXPENSIVE WATCHES." SHE'S LIKE, "ARE YOU SURE?"

I SAID, "AMY, I'M GOING TO BORSHEIM'S." NOW, THOSE OF

YOU THAT ARE WATCHING BORSHEIM'S, THEY DEAL IN

LIKE THE ROLEXES, OR ROTODEX? I SAID IT RIGHT,

THEY DEAL IN THE ROLEX, THEY DEAL IN THE GRANDFATHER

CLOCK, THEY DEAL IN THE EXPENSIVE WATCHES, SO I

BRING THEM UP THERE. BROWN PAPER BAG. I GET UP TO THE

COUNTER. CAN I HELP YOU? I HAVE SOME VERY EXPENSIVE

WATCHES. SHH. YOU HAVE WHAT? SHH. I HAVE VERY EXPENSIVE

WATCHES THAT NEED REPAIRED. CAN I SEE THEM? THAT SHOULD

HAVE BEEN THE FIRST CLUE. PULL THEM OUT OF A BROWN

PAPER BAG. THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST CLUE THAT

THEY WEREN'T EXPENSIVE. I PUT THEM DOWN AND I DUMPED

THEM OUT, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER CLUE, RIGHT?

AND THE LADY LOOKS AT YOU, SHE GOES, "THESE WATCHES?

"YEAH, I KNOW THEY'RE EXPENSIVE. "I WANNA TALK TO

THE MAIN JEWELER." SHE GOES, "WELL, I CAN HELP YOU." "NO,

NO, THESE ARE EXPENSIVE WATCHES. "THESE WERE A GIFT.

YOU WANT TO TALK TO THE JEWELER?" "YEAH." "OH, I

CAN'T DO THAT." ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE JEWELER COMES

OUT, AND HE LOOKS LIKE THAT GUY ON HOGAN'S HEROES. "DID

SOMEBODY NEED TO TALK TO ME?" I SAID, "YES." I SAID,

"I HAVE SOME VERY EXPENSIVE WATCHES THAT WERE GIVEN TO

ME." HE GOES, "DID YOU GET THESE IN SOUTH AMERICA?"

"YEAH, I TOLD YOU THEY'RE EXPENSIVE." THESE WATCHES

HERE, THESE ARE TOYS, TOYS, TOYS. AND MY PRIDE, PSH. BUT

HERE'S WHAT I LEARNED. I WAS GETTING CALLED OUT BY PEOPLE

FOR WEARING EXPENSIVE WATCHES AND FLEECING THE

SHEEP. THEY WERE TOYS. SEE HOW QUICK WE ARE TO BEAR

FALSE WITNESS, COVET, LIE, ACCUSE. WE GOTTA HAVE LOVE

AND HONOR. I KNOW I OVERTOLD THAT STORY AND IT WENT WAY

TOO LONG. SORRY ABOUT THAT. ALL RIGHT, FATHER, I PRAY

THAT PEOPLE CAN GET OUT OF HERE NOW AND I'M ASKING YOUR

BLESSING UPON EVERYTHING THAT I SAID. GOD, I REALLY

TRIED HARD AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, I GOT TAKEN A

DIFFERENT DIRECTION, BUT I DO PRAY THAT ALL OF US, ME

INCLUDED, I SHARE THESE STORIES BECAUSE GOD, IT'S

TIME FOR ALL OF US TO DO WHAT JESUS SAID, TO LOVE AND

TO HONOR, FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU AND OUR

NEIGHBORS AS OURSELF. GOD, HELP US TO DO THAT. AND I

START WITH ME, AND I'M ASKING YOU TO CONTINUALLY

KEEP ME ON A SHORT LEASH, GOD, WHERE I LIVE A LIFE OF

LOVE AND HONOR TO YOU AND TO OTHERS IN JESUS' NAME. ALL

RIGHT, KEITH, I KEPT HIM LONG. PASTOR KEITH, COME,

LET'S GIVE HIM A HAND CLAP. DID YOU ENJOY, I MEAN, SOME

OF THAT? ALL RIGHT, I LOVE YOU, I'LL SEE YA.
