9/28/25 9AM - "Shift Change" Part 7

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- COME ON CHURCH, LET'S LIFT UP A SHOUT OF PRAISE TO THE KING.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- HALLELUJAH! - LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU.

- THANK YOU, LORD! - YOU'RE JESUS.

THAT WE ARE SEEING IN THE STADIUMS, THE ARENAS.

LORD, WE ARE SEEING AN AWAKENING OF YOUR GREATNESS

AND WE HONOR YOU IN THE EARTH, WE HONOR YOU IN OUR HEARTS.

AND GOD, WE INVITE YOU TODAY TO COME AND BE PART OF THIS

SERVICE, THAT YOU WILL BE GLORIFIED AND HONORED.

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THE LORD SAID.

- AMEN!

- ALL RIGHT, THIS SIDE TOOK IT TODAY FROM HERE OVER.

I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING IN HERE IN THE MIDDLE,

I HEARD NOTHING. AND I HEARD A SQUEAL OVER HERE.

SO DO YOU GUYS WANT TO TRY IT AGAIN?

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID, "AMEN!"

NOW I FELT THAT. MY GOODNESS, BRENDA, DID YOU FEEL THAT?

THAT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE TEENAGE KID OR SOME ADULTS THAT PULL UP

NEXT TO YOU AT THE STOPLIGHT AND THEY HAVE THAT LOUD BASS.

- YEAH, RIGHT. - I WANNA TALK TO THOSE PEOPLE

WHEN THEY'RE LIKE 70. YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU SAY, "HOW

YOU DOING?" "HUH?"

- 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, THAT'S PRETTY BAD.

- ACTUALLY, THAT'S TRUE. I WAS, I DON'T

KNOW, I WAS DRIVING OFF THE CAMPUS ONE DAY AND I

HAD GOOD PRAISE MUSIC ON. AND I THOUGHT, MAN, THAT'S A WEIRD,

SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS A GUY BEHIND ME IN HIS BASE THAT OUT BLEW MY

OWN MUSIC. - OH, YOU THOUGHT IT WAS YOU,

OKAY. - IT DID. I THOUGHT THERE

WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR STEREO IN THE CAR.

- ALL RIGHT, WELL, HEY. - IT'S TERRIBLE.

- BUT YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M ALWAYS LISTENING TO MY MUSIC

VERY QUIET. - YEAH, SURE YOU DO.

- NO, NOT REALLY.

HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE OLDEN DAYS WHEN YOU HAD A CAR?

MOM, YOU WOULD REMEMBER MY '77 FIREBIRD.

MY DAD HELPED ME PUT A STEREO UNIT IN THE TRUNK THAT, YOU

REMEMBER THAT? AND IT HAD THE EQUALIZERS AND EVERYTHING.

IT WAS A MOVING STEREO. HOW MANY HAD ONE OF THOSE WHEN

YOU WERE A KID? YEAH, LET ME HEAR YOU GRIND.

IF YOU'RE A MAN OR A WOMAN, YOU CAN, I MEAN, THAT WAS

POWERFUL. WELL, ANYWAY, I WANT TO GREET THOSE OF YOU

WITH A POWERFUL STEREO AROUND THE WORLD.

IF YOU REMEMBER THOSE DAYS, YOU CAN PUT IT IN THE

COMMENTS, PASTOR HANK. I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS.

AND MAN, I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS. BRENDA MIGHT HAVE TO DO THAT

AGAIN. - I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

- ANYWAY, BUT IT'S SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU JOIN US WHEREVER

YOU'RE WATCHING. YOU CAN JUST PUT RIGHT

THERE IN THE COMMENTS WHERE YOU'RE WATCHING.

WE ALWAYS LIKE TO GO BACK AND KIND OF KNOW,

YOU KNOW, WHAT CITY, WHAT STATE, YOU KNOW,

IF YOU'RE WRITING A CITY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE PUT THE

STATE DOWN. 'CAUSE SOMETIMES WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE CITY

THAT YOU'RE FROM. AND YEAH, SO IT DOES HELP.

AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY,

LET US KNOW THE CITY AND WHAT GREAT COUNTRY.

YEAH, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING.

WELL, LISTEN, PASTOR MATT IS DOWN IN DALLAS.

- LET HIM GUESS, YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT.

- WHERE DO YOU THINK PASTOR MATT IS?

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

SO, YEAH. - WHY WOULD HE BE THERE?

HOW MANY DALLAS COWBOY FANS? OH MY GOODNESS.

- SO HE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, HE'S--

- GREEN BAY PACKERS PLAY THE DALLAS COWBOYS THING.

- YEAH, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT FOLLOW IT ALL,

HE'S DOWN THERE FOR THE BIG REAPPEARANCE OF MICAH PARSONS.

- YOU KNOW, HE GETS VACATION DAYS

AND THAT'S WHAT HE DOES-- - HE USES THEM ALL IN FOOTBALL.

- I MEAN, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

- HE WOULD NOT TAKE A VACATION IN APRIL.

- YEAH, BUT HE ACTUALLY IS DOWN THERE.

AND BRETT FAVRE, IF YOU'RE WATCHING,

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS, SO ACT SURPRISED.

HE'S GONNA WALK IN ON YOUR SIGNING.

SO, AND BRETT WILL BE REALLY EXCITED.

- HE'S WITH SUNIL TOO. - OH, HE'S WITH SUNIL.

HOW MANY REMEMBER SUNIL? - HOW MANY REMEMBER SUNIL?

- HE MOVED DOWN FROM OUR MINISTRY TO BE CLOSER TO HIS

PARENTS. - THEY OPENED THE HOME FOR HIM.

HE JUST HELD UP A SIGN AND SAID, "SUNIL, TAKE ME IN."

SO. - YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

WELL, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GONNA JUST RELAX THIS AFTERNOON

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO BEFORE WE WORSHIP HERE? I'M

GONNA LET YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO. I'M GONNA TAKE A NAP

AND THEN GUESS WHAT I'M GONNA DO. I'VE BEEN CRAVING SOMETHING.

NOW SOME OF YOU LADIES, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND CRAVINGS.

- THAT'S A GOOD GUESS.

- NO, NO, AND I DON'T WANNA DRAG THIS OUT,

BUT BRENDA, I'VE BEEN CRAVING FOR FIVE MONTHS

GODFATHER'S PIZZA. SO I'M GONNA HAVE GODFATHER'S PIZZA.

- YOU'RE GONNA, OKAY.

- SHE IS GONNA ORDER-- - MIXED REVIEW OUT THERE.

- AND SHE'S GONNA ORDER A DIFFERENT PIZZA LOCATION.

- I WANNA FIND A GOURMET PIZZA, I MEAN LIKE PIZZA, MAN.

- ALL RIGHT. - SO THERE'S SOME GOOD ONES

OUT THERE. - I JUST NEED YOUR HELP COOKING.

- WE'LL HAVE TO GET DOUBLE DASH.

- ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS,

BEFORE WE WORSHIP, I'VE GOT A GREAT WORD TODAY. I WAS IN

THE SAME CONTEXT OF SHIFT CHANGE. HOW MANY HAVE BEEN

FEELING THIS? AND I WENT BACK AND I LOOKED AT THE TWO

GREATEST COMMANDMENTS THAT JESUS SAID, AND THEN I LOOKED AT

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, AND I SAW TWO WORDS THAT POPPED OUT TO ME.

AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IF WE DON'T GRASP THESE TWO WORDS,

WE WON'T SHIFT AND WE WON'T CHANGE LIKE GOD WANTS. SO

WAIT TILL YOU HEAR WHAT THEY ARE, AND

I HOPE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE. SO WE'LL TALK.

- YEAH, IT'S GOOD. WELL, I'M EXCITED.

AND HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE REALLY ENJOYED

THIS PROPHETIC WORD ABOUT SHIFTING AND CHANGING?

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

- AND WHAT I'VE REALLY LIKED, I'VE LIKED IT BECAUSE NOT ONLY

HAS IT BEEN ABOUT THE NATION, BUT IT'S ALSO US SHIFTING

ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. I THINK THAT'S SO KEY

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T CHANGE INTERNALLY, WE CAN'T GO

WHERE GOD WANTS US TO AND BE VESSELS FOR HIM. SO I'M

EXCITED ABOUT IT. WELL, I THINK SINCE IT'S GONNA BE A

BEAUTIFUL DAY, IT'S WONDERFUL, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY

TO FOCUS IN, PUT ON YOUR BEST PRAISE GARMENTS.

COME ON, HOW MANY OF YOU GOT PRAISE GARMENTS ON?

ALL RIGHT, SO THROW THOSE HANDS UP AS HIGH AS YOU

CAN RAISE THEM. WAVE THEM JUST A LITTLE BIT.

SAY THESE WORDS, SAY, "LORD, THE BEST PLACE TO BE

ON A SUNDAY MORNING IS IN THE HOUSE OF GOD. SO

LORD, I'M HERE WITH EXCITEMENT. I'M EXCITED TO PRAISE YOU.

AND LORD, MOVING THIS PLACE TOUCHED MY LIFE.

AND I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE.

COME ON, LET'S SHOUT TO THE LORD AS WE WORSHIP HIM.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪

♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪

♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪

COME ON, LET'S JUST KEEP WORSHIPPING HIM.

YOU ARE EVERYTHING, MY LORD. WE WORSHIP YOU.

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD,

JUST LIFT YOUR HEART TO HIM. OH GOD, WE HONOR YOU TODAY.

WE WORSHIP YOU. YOU ARE. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE

WORSHIP YOU, O GOD. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP

YOU. WE WORSHIP. SOME OF YOU JUST NEED TO OPEN YOUR

HEART AND TELL HIM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM.

SOME OF YOU ARE IN A PLACE OF NEED.

YOU JUST NEED TO TELL HIM, SAY, "LORD, I NEED YOU.

GOD, I NEED YOU. AND I LOVE YOU AND I TRUST YOU.

LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU, WE WORSHIP

YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU. JUST OPEN YOUR HEART. WE WORSHIP YOU.

OUR GREATEST DESIRE, GOD, THE DEEPEST LONGING OF OUR HEART

IS YOU. THERE'S NOTHING THAT THIS EARTH HAS TO OFFER

AS WONDERFUL AS THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS ARE THAT CREATED

THE THINGS THAT WE SEE.

NONE OF THOSE THINGS COMPARE

TO THE WONDER OF YOU. THE CREATOR

IS FAR GREATER THAN THE CREATION. AND MERE WORDS CAN

NEVER DESCRIBE THE GREATNESS OF WHO YOU ARE.

THE ONE THING WE DO LOVE ABOUT YOU, AS GREAT AS YOU ARE, WE

LOVE YOU IN YOUR SIMPLICITY TOO.

THAT YOU CAN COME AND MAKE YOURSELF SO REAL TO US, AND

THAT YOU WOULD INTERACT WITH US MANKIND.

YOU TRULY ARE, EMMANUEL.

YOU ARE GOD WITH US.

AND I TELL YOU, GOD, THERE IS NOTHING

THAT I WANT MORE

THAN TO KNOW YOU GREATER.

IS THAT YOUR CRY TODAY? YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD GREATER?

HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD GREATER? THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT THAT'S MY HEART, MAN.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW GOD, AND I DON'T WANT A SURFACE

UNDERSTANDING OF HIM.

I WANT TO GO DEEPER WITH GOD. HOW ABOUT YOU?

HOW ABOUT YOU? YOU SAY, WELL, HOW DO I GET THERE?

PASSION. PASSION.

YOU'RE LIKE, GOD, THERE'S NOTHING GREATER IN MY HEART

THAT I WANT MORE THAN YOU. AND THEN YOU TELL THEM, SAY,

I'M HUNGRY FOR YOU. I WANT YOU.

AND IT'S LIKE A MAGNET, IT JUST DRAWS THEM

TO WHATEVER YOUR NEED IS. I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME PEOPLE HERE

TODAY AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AND THAT YOU'RE JUST GOING

THROUGH SOME THINGS.

YOU'RE GOING THROUGH SOME CHALLENGES AND SOME STRUGGLES.

AND YOU JUST NEED GOD, MAN, TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU.

AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING.

THERE'S A REASON THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD,

WE SHALL NOT WANT." DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T WANT HIM, IT MEANS

WHEN YOU GOT GOD GUIDING AND LEADING AND DIRECTING,

HE TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING. SAY EVERYTHING.

- EVERYTHING.

- YOU CAN SAY IT WITH SOME JIVE, EVERYTHING.

BUT IF THAT'S YOU TODAY, I WANT YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU

SAY, OKAY, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING BOLD.

I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO COME ON DOWN FRONT

'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME PRAYER WARRIORS GATHER

AROUND YOU AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING AND WE'RE GONNA BELIEVE GOD FOR A BREAKTHROUGH.

YOU SAY, "WELL, WHAT'S A BREAKTHROUGH?"

IT MEANS YOU GET RESULTS, RIGHT?

THINGS BEGIN TO SHIFT AND TO CHANGE.

CAN GOD MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF A MESS? ABSOLUTELY.

HE MADE US OUT OF DIRT, RIGHT?

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LINE UP IN A STRAIGHT LINE, JUST

COME ON DOWN. I JUST, I REALLY FEEL LIKE, AND THEN

NOW I JUST SENSE THAT SOME OF YOU ARE REALLY GOING

THROUGH A REAL STRUGGLING TIME.

MAYBE YOU HAVE SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE.

MAYBE YOU'RE JUST TIRED OF THE WAY THINGS ARE.

YOU WAKE UP AND YOU'RE LIKE, MAN, ANOTHER DAY.

I WANT YOU JUST TO COME ON DOWN.

NOW I'M GOING TO ASK THE CONGREGATION TO DO SOMETHING

BOLD. WE'RE GOING TO PRAY FOR THESE

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, BUT SOMETIMES, HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT

THIS? I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT ME, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE DOWN

HERE AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. Y'ALL REMEMBER THE

STORY WHERE JESUS, HE WALKED ON WATER AND PETER SAID,

"JESUS, IF IT'S REALLY, REALLY YOU, "THEN I NEED YOU

TO SHOW ME A SIGN." YOU EVER BEEN TO THAT PLACE WHERE

YOU'RE LIKE, "GOD, I JUST NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING

VISIBLE, OKAY? "I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING OBVIOUS."

RIGHT, YOU EVER BEEN THERE BEFORE? AND JESUS DIDN'T

REBUKE HIM AND SAY, "OH, COME ON, PETER." HE SAID,

"STEP OUT OF THE BOAT." AND PETER STOOD, STARTED WALKING

ON WATER, AND HE WAS DOING REALLY GOOD AS LONG AS HE

WAS LOOKING AT JESUS. BUT THEN THE MINUTE HE STARTED

LOOKING AT THE WAVES, FEELING THE CIRCUMSTANCE

RIGHT, THE WIND THAT WAS CONTRARY, HE BEGAN TO SINK.

AND I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING IN MY LIFE. KEEP YOUR BIBLE

BEFORE YOU. THAT'S GOD'S WORD IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

SOMETHING. SECOND, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO

DO, DON'T GET YOUR EYES ON THE SITUATION, THE STORM,

THE TROUBLE. DON'T GET INTO QUESTIONING, GOD, WHERE ARE

YOU? WHAT I DO IS I WORSHIP. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

SOMETIMES I PUT ON PRAISE AND WORSHIP MUSIC. I MEAN,

IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. YOU CAN GET SOME GOOD PRAISE

AND WORSHIP, RIGHT? YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, BUT HERE'S THE

THING. SOMETIMES I EVEN TURN ALL THAT OFF, AND I'M LIKE,

YOU KNOW WHAT, GOD, I'M GONNA MAKE UP A SONG. AND

SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC, YOU KNOW?

EVERYTHING IS BAD, RIGHT? BUT THEN I GET SHIFTING OVER

INTO WHERE I FOCUS ON HIM. BUT LET ME TELL YOU

SOMETHING, AND I WANT SOME BELIEVERS NOW, I WANT YOU TO

COME OUT OF YOUR CHAIRS, COME OUT, SOME OF YOU DOWN

HERE, AND I WANT YOU TO FIND SOMEBODY, PUT YOUR HAND ON

'EM. WHY AM I ASKING YOU TO PUT YOUR HAND ON SOMEBODY?

HERE'S WHY, ON THEIR SHOULDER. BECAUSE WHEN PETER

STARTED SINKING, YOU KNOW WHAT JESUS DID? HE COULD

HAVE SAID, "ARISE, PETER." AND SUPERNATURALLY, PETER

COULD HAVE JUST COME RIGHT OUT OF THAT WATER WITHOUT

ANYTHING, RIGHT? DID JESUS GO, "ARISE, PETER." THIS

YOUNG PEOPLE RIGHT HERE, THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO PUT

THEIR HAND ON THEM. COME ON, COME ON, COME CLOSER, IT'S

OKAY, COME CLOSER. COME CLOSER, I WANT SOME PEOPLE.

COME ON MATT, COME ON DOWN HERE, GET CLOSER TO THESE

PEOPLE. JESUS COULD HAVE SAID, HEY, PETER, ARISE,

WHEN HE STARTED SINKING, AND PETER COULD HAVE JUST, SHH.

BUT NOTICE WHAT JESUS DID, REMEMBER THE STORY, WHAT DID

JESUS DO? HE LET HIM FEEL HIS TOUCH. JESUS REACHED OUT

AND LET HIM FEEL HIS TOUCH. AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE

GOING THROUGH SOMETHING, YOU NEED THE TOUCH OF GOD, BUT

SOMETIMES YOU NEED THE TOUCH OF SOMEBODY ELSE THAT'S

SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, I'M

GONNA STAND WITH GOD WITH YOU. 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN, I'VE

GONE THROUGH THINGS WHEN I FELT LIKE, GOD, THERE IS

NOBODY THAT UNDERSTANDS WHAT I'M FEELING. NOBODY

UNDERSTANDS. EVEN IF I TALKED TO THEM, THEY

WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND. BUT SOMETIMES IT'S JUST THAT

TOUCH, JUST THAT TOUCH. HEAVENLY FATHER, TODAY I

PRAY FOR EVERY PERSON IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE AND THOSE

THAT ARE WATCHING. IN FACT, I'M TOUCHING MY PHONE AS A

POINT OF CONTACT THAT GOD NOT ONLY IS THIS PASTOR

REACHING OUT TO THOSE THAT ARE ON THE STREAM, TOUCHING

THEM WITH MY PRAYER AND MY HEART, MY LOVE FOR THEM AS

WELL. BUT GOD, WE'RE EXPECTING THE SAME ARM, THE

SAME HAND THAT REACHED OUT TO PETER. IN HIS MOMENT,

LORD, WHERE IT FELT LIKE THE STORM WAS GREAT AND IT

LOOKED AS THOUGH THAT HIS LIFE WAS SINKING AND HE

NEEDED INTERVENTION, LORD, YOU REACHED OUT AND YOU

TOUCHED HIM AND YOU RAISED HIM UP WITH A DIVINE LIFT

AND THIS IS WHAT WE PRAY TODAY. OH GOD OF THE

HEAVENS, THE LORD OF THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL

THINGS CREATED, BOTH VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE. I AM ASKING

YOU, REACH YOUR HAND THAT IS NOT SO SHORT, THAT IT CANNOT

SHIFT, THAT IT CANNOT CHANGE, THAT IT CANNOT BRING

A BREAKTHROUGH, GOD. I AM ASKING YOU TO REACH YOUR

HAND OUT TO EVERY PERSON IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE AND

BEGIN TO BRING THEM INTO A DIVINE LIFTING. FATHER, I

BREAK EVERY ASSIGNMENT AGAINST THEM. I REBUKE

DISCOURAGEMENT, DEPRESSION, LORD GOD, ANXIETY,

CONFUSION, ANY OPPRESSION, DEPRESSION, LORD GOD THAT

THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO BRING. THROUGH THE POWER OF

YOUR TOUCH, I'M ASKING YOU TO LIFT THAT YOKE OFF OF

THEM. LIFT THAT BURDEN FROM THEM, OH GOD, AND RESET

THEIR PATH. ORDER THEIR DAY THAT THE JOY OF THE LORD

SHALL BEGIN TO ARISE, AND HEAVENLY RAINS AND FRUITFUL

SEASONS. LET IT BE ESTABLISHED OVER THEM. LET

IT BE ESTABLISHED UPON THEM. FATHER, WE ARE ASKING FOR

YOUR INTERVENTION. WE ARE CALLING UPON GREAT GRACE. WE

ARE CALLING ON YOUR MERCY. WE ARE CALLING UPON YOUR

HELP IN THE TIME OF THEIR NEED. WE ARE CALLING UPON

THE GOD WHO DOES EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY

BEYOND ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK. NOW LORD, DIVINE

INTERVENTIONS, DIVINE INTERVENTIONS. NO MORE

DELAY, NO FRUSTRATION. FATHER, IMMEDIATELY YESHUA

LIFTED PETER OUT OF THAT PLACE. HE DIDN'T MAKE HIM

WAIT. HE DIDN'T MAKE HIM WAIT UNTIL HE WAS UNDERWATER

COMPLETELY. JUST IN GOD TIME, JUST IN THE PERFECT

GOD INTERVENTION MOMENT, THE HAND REACHED OUT AND PETER

WAS LIFTED AND HIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS RESET. GOD,

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING. NOW

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE BELIEVING GOD, JUST TAKE A

DEEP BREATH AND AS YOU INHALE, JUST INHALE THE

BREATH OF GOD, HIS PEACE, HIS JOY, HIS COMFORT, HIS

STRENGTH. AND THEN JUST LET IT OUT. LORD, I JUST RELEASE

FROM MY SOUL ANYTHING THAT THE ENEMY IS TRYING TO GET

IN MY HEAD AND MY EMOTIONS ABOUT. ALIGN MY WILL AND MY

PATH. TO BE ACCORDING TO YOUR PERFECT WILL. IN JESUS

NAME. SEE SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT TO DO THAT. AMEN. ALL

RIGHT. NOW, LET ME GIVE YOU A WORD OF CAUTION ON

SOMETHING. NOW DON'T GO, DON'T GO OUT AND SAY, "WELL,

I DON'T FEEL ANY DIFFERENT." OR START SPEAKING, "WELL, I

SURE HOPE SO." I WANT YOU WHEN YOU WALK BACK TO YOUR

CHAIRS, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I WANT

YOU TO SAY, "GOD, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GOD.

THANK YOU, GOD." BECAUSE REMEMBER, THERE ARE HOW MANY

LEPERS IN THE STORY OF THE BIBLE? 10. BUT WHO GOT THE

HIGHER LEVEL OF BLESSING? THE ONE, BECAUSE HE WAS

THANKFUL. SO I WANT YOU TO PRACTICE, SAY, "THANK YOU,

GOD." THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, "THANK YOU, GOD,

THAT MY NEEDS ARE MET. THIS THING HAS TURNED AROUND. AND

FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD, I GIVE YOU THANKS, I HAVE

EXPECTANCY, I REJOICE. MARK MY WORDS, GOD, I WILL GIVE

YOU THE GLORY, I WILL TESTIFY OF THE GREAT THINGS

THAT YOU HAVE DONE. AMEN, NOW TURN AROUND, GIVE THAT

PERSON A HIGH FIVE, SHARE YOUR NAME, AND THEN SAY,

"HEY, HERE'S WHAT I'M HAVING FOR THANKSGIVING." "I

ALREADY SHARE YOUR THANKSGIVING MEAL." GOD

BLESS YOU NOW. YOU DO THE SAME THAT ARE WATCHING.

DON'T YOU DARE REVERT BACK. YOU STAY STRONG IN THE LORD.

- GOOD MORNING. SO HOW MANY OF YOU ENJOYED BACK TO

CHURCH SUNDAY LAST WEEK? OKAY. HOW WAS THE FOOD?

OKAY. WELL, THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT DOWN, BUT MAYBE

NEXT YEAR WE'LL DO A LITTLE BETTER WITH MORE FOOD

TRUCKS. BUT, HEY, THANK YOU, CONGREGATION, FOR YOUR HELP.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE UPDATE ON THAT,

BECAUSE YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW SUCCESSFUL IT WAS. WE HAD 96

FIRST-TIME GUESTS COME IN. I'M SURE WE HAD SOME TUNE-ON

ONLINE. IN ADDITION, WE HAD ONLINE GUESTS FOR THE FIRST

TIME. I DON'T HAVE A COUNT OF THOSE. WE HAD SIX PEOPLE

BORN AGAIN AT THE SERVICE, SO THAT'S WORTH A SHOUT.

HALLELUJAH. AND I WANT TO THANK, TO ECHO PASTOR SHANE,

IF YOU'RE HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, WE WANT TO

WELCOME YOU AND MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME, AND WE HOPE

THAT YOU'RE BLESSED AND ENCOURAGED TODAY. I ALSO

WANT TO THANK THOSE THAT ARE BACK AGAIN FOR THEIR SECOND

SUNDAY. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE BACK AGAIN FROM BACK TO

CHURCH SUNDAY, LAST WEEK WAS YOUR FIRST WEEK HERE. WE

HAVE RESERVED A SPOT FOR YOU AT A LUNCHEON WHERE YOU'LL

GET TO MEET THE PASTORS. AND WE WON'T MAKE IT LONG, IT'LL

BE ABOUT 30 MINUTES, VERY BRIEF, BUT WE WANT TO HAVE A

TIME THAT YOU CAN MEET THE PASTORAL STAFF, HAVE LUNCH

WITH US, AND GET TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE

CHURCH. SO, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SERVICE, IF

YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, YOU GO OUT TO YOUR LEFT AS YOU

LEAVE THE AUDITORIUM AND GO TO THE CHAPEL, AND THAT'S

WHERE THAT LUNCHEON WILL BE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE

CHAPEL IS, ASK ANYONE IN THE HALLWAY AND THEY CAN DIRECT

YOU TO THAT PLACE. JUST WATCH THAT THEY DON'T FOLLOW

YOU IN FOR LUNCH BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE SO MANY RESERVED

SEATS. SO, OH, SHE WANTS TO KNOW THE MENU. IT'S GOING TO

BE BETTER THAN HAMBURGERS, SO I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

ALTHOUGH HAMBURGERS ARE GOOD. IT'S WHAT? YEAH. SO IT

IS A RESERVED LUNCHEON, BUT WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU

HERE TODAY. AND I WANTED TO ASK IF EVERYONE THAT CAME IN

TODAY RECEIVED A LITTLE CARD, A LITTLE

BUSINESS-SIZED CARD. DID YOU GET ONE OF THOSE? IF YOU

DIDN'T, RAISE YOUR HAND RIGHT NOW. IF YOU DIDN'T GET

ONE, RAISE YOUR HAND. THE USHERS WILL MAKE SURE YOU

GET ONE. I HAVE A LITTLE ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU. EVERY

PERSON SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE. IN FACT, HOW MANY OF

YOU MEN HAVE A WALLET THAT YOU NORMALLY CARRY? RAISE

YOUR HAND. OKAY. HOW MANY OF YOU LADIES HAVE A PURSE?

OKAY. I HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU. EVERY MAN SHOULD

HAVE TWO OF THESE IN THEIR WALLET. EVERY LADY SHOULD

HAVE TWO OF THESE IN THEIR PURSE. BECAUSE DO YOU KNOW

THAT BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY SHOULD REALLY HAPPEN EVERY

WEEK? AMEN? THAT'S OUR JOB AS CHRISTIANS, TO SHARE THE

GOSPEL. AND PART OF THE WAY THAT YOU CAN DO THAT IS TO

INVITE PEOPLE TO CHURCH. SO THIS IS A WONDERFUL TOOL FOR

YOU TO HAVE, JUST LIKE YOU USED YOUR BACK TO CHURCH

SUNDAY INVITATIONS. THIS IS ACTUALLY BETTER IN SOME

WAYS, BECAUSE IT'LL FIT IN YOUR WALLET. IT'S BUSINESS

SIZE CARD. IT SAYS YOU'RE INVITED TO BE OUR SPECIAL

GUEST. JOIN US SUNDAYS AT 9 AM, IN PERSON 9 AM, AND

ONLINE AT 11:30. AND IT GIVES THE ADDRESS. THERE'S EVEN A

QR CODE ON THE BACK FOR THE YOUNGER PEOPLE THAT YOU

ENCOUNTER. THEY CAN USE THAT. AND SO I THINK IT'LL

BE GREAT. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THESE. NOW, YOU SAY, WELL,

HOW COME I'M ONLY GETTING ONE? I WANTED TO SHOW YOU

WHAT THEY WERE. THE INFORMATION CENTER HAS

PLENTY AVAILABLE, SO GO HELP YOURSELF. MAKE SURE THAT YOU

HAVE THEM EVERY WEEK IN YOUR WALLET, YOUR PURSE, AND

INVITE PEOPLE. AND IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO

THAT. YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN REVIVAL. OUR COUNTRY IS RIPE

FOR REVIVAL, AMEN? AND WHENEVER YOU GET INVOLVED IN

A CONVERSATION, WHETHER IT'S SOMEONE AT A CAR WASH OR

GETTING YOUR HAIR CUT OR AT A RESTAURANT OR SOMEONE YOU

MEET AT WORK, YOU HAVE THESE HANDY TO PULL OUT AND INVITE

THEM TO CHURCH. AND IT'S EASY TO SAY, "DO YOU HAPPEN

TO HAVE A CHURCH THAT YOU ATTEND?" AND IF THEY SAY NO,

YOU'VE GOT THE GREEN LIGHT TO GIVE THEM AN INVITATION.

WE HAVE TO DO OUR PART AS DISCIPLES TO FAN THE FLAMES

OF REVIVAL AS IT'S HAPPENING IN THIS EARTH, AMEN? WE DO

OUR PART TO SHARE. AND ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF OUR

CORPORATE ASSEMBLY HERE TODAY IS TO EMPOWER US TO BE

STRONGER WHEN WE GO OUT AND DO WHAT WE'RE CALLED TO DO

IN OUR CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE. THIS IS THE TIME WE GET

EMPOWERED TO GO OUT AND DO THIS. AND IT'S EXCITING TO

DO THAT. HOW MANY OF YOU WILL HELP ME WITH THIS?

YOU'LL CONTINUE INVITING, YOU'LL GET SOME CARDS AND

PUT THEM IN YOUR WALLET. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I

APPRECIATE IT. GOD BLESS YOU AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD FOR

CONTINUED GROWTH, AMEN, IN THE KINGDOM. OKAY, PASTOR BRENDA.

- THANK YOU FOR THAT, PASTOR DOUG. I REALLY APPRECIATE

IT. AND JUST TO UNDERSCORE THE POINT OF WHAT YOU SAID,

AND I THINK THIS IS SO GOOD, PASTOR CHELSEA WAS TELLING

ME ON THE WAY OUT HERE THAT SOMEONE HAD SAID TO HER THAT

THEY WERE INVITED TO CHURCH, I THINK IT WAS LAST SUNDAY,

AND HAD NEVER, NOBODY ALL THEIR LIFE HAD EVER INVITED

THEM TO CHURCH. NOW THINK ABOUT THAT, AND IF YOU

REMEMBER PASTOR DOUG SHARING THE STATISTICS LAST WEEK, IS

THE REASON SOME PEOPLE NEVER GO TO A CHURCH IS BECAUSE

NOBODY ASKED THEM. AND SO I THOUGHT, WELL, WHAT AN EASY

WITNESSING TOOL. YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST ONE WITNESSING

TOOL ON BEING ABLE TO JUST SAY TO SOMEBODY, HEY, MY

CHURCH, AND COME AND VISIT. AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW

MANY PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS THINK WE'D GET TURNED

DOWN OR SOMEBODY WILL SAY NO, BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA

GET MORE YESES. PEOPLE ARE RIPE RIGHT NOW TO HAVE

SOMEBODY REACH OUT TO THEM AND SHOW THEM THE WAY TO

GOD. SO AMEN, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THAT, PASTOR DOUG.

THAT WAS AMAZING. JUST A COUPLE QUICK THINGS, WANNA

REMIND EVERYBODY, IF YOU HAVE NOT, PASTOR SHANE WAS

TALKING ABOUT OVTV, IF YOU MISSED ANY OF THE SERVICES

FROM OPENING THE HEAVENS, GO BACK OUT TO OVTV, THOSE ARE

AVAILABLE OUT THERE, AND CHECK 'EM OUT. I ALWAYS LIKE

TO THINK OF THESE EVENTS NEVER AS ONE AND DONE. KEEP

FEEDING OFF OF THAT GOOD WORD THAT CAME FORTH. I

MEAN, THERE WAS SOME PREACHING. I THOUGHT WHEN

LORENZO STUHL WAS, I WAS GONNA RUN THAT AUDITORIUM. I'M TELLING

YOU RIGHT NOW, THAT MAN IS A PREACHING MACHINE. I'M LIKE,

AT ONE POINT HE'S SCREAMING, SO I THOUGHT, BROTHER, I DON'T

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT THIS IS AWESOME.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

BUT IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE, AND I JUST LOVED IT. AND SO

GO BACK OUT AND CHECK THOSE OUT. BUT I DO HAVE ONE GOOD

ANNOUNCEMENT, AND I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS TO MEDIA. I

DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE A GRAPHIC FOR IT. BUT JOHN

AMACHUKWU IS GONNA BE WITH US OCTOBER THE 26TH, SUNDAY

MORNING. SO THAT'S COMING UP QUICKLY. AND HOW MANY OF YOU

KNOW THAT MAN HAS BEEN A TERROR TO WOKE SCHOOL BOARDS

AND PEOPLE THAT ARE PUTTING OUT JUST OBSCENE MATERIAL IN

OUR SCHOOLS. AND HE HAS STOOD BEFORE THESE BOARDS

FEARLESSLY AND WE'RE SO THANKFUL. BUT THE MAN HAS

GOT A PREACHING ANOINTING AND HE'S GONNA BE HERE. SO

BE HERE FOR THAT SUNDAY AS WELL. AND I THINK YOU WILL

BE TOTALLY BLESSED. AND I DON'T KNOW, I FEEL LIKE

RIGHT IN ADVANCE OF ONE OF THE MOST EVIL DAYS OF THE

YEAR, I DON'T EVEN LIKE TO CALL IT HALLOWEEN 'CAUSE

IT'S NOT, THE DEVIL DOESN'T GET THAT DAY. BUT ONE OF THE

MOST DAYS OF THE YEAR THAT THE OCCULT USES FOR WICKED

AND EVIL THINGS, HE'S GOING TO BE HERE DEFENDING CHILDREN. AND

YEAH GIVE GOD A HANDCLAP FOR THAT. AND THEN THAT FOLLOWING

WEDNESDAY THE 29TH, WE'RE DOING A SPECIAL EVENT. NOW GUYS IT

ONLINE ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY A PITCH

OUT TO THE WORLD, AND WE WANNA FOCUS ON

THAT. WE'RE GONNA DO A NIGHT OF PRAYER, ANOTHER RESCUING

A GENERATION EVENT, AND WE'RE GONNA BE LITERALLY,

AND THE REASON WE'RE DOING IT ONLINE ONLY IS WE ARE

GONNA OPEN PHONE LINES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE CHURCH

THAT NIGHT TO TAKE PRAYER REQUESTS, PEOPLE CALLING IN

FOR THEIR KIDS, THEIR GRANDCHILDREN, JUST

BELIEVING GOD AGAIN IN ADVANCE OF ONE OF THE MOST

EVIL DAYS OF THE YEAR. SO THIS IS THE 29TH AND

RESCUING A GENERATION. WE'RE GONNA DO PRAYER REQUESTS

INSTEAD OF THE PICTURES THIS YEAR. SO IT'S A CALL-IN

EVENT, AND WE WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO CALL IN. WE'RE GONNA

TAKE, PRAY FOR US. HOW MANY OF YOU WILL PRAY FOR US?

THIS WILL BE LIKE THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE OUR OWN

CALL-IN CENTER, RIGHT HERE ON THE CAMPUS. AND SO WE ARE

THANKFUL FOR OUR CURRENT CALL CENTER THAT HELP US AND

THEY TAKE DIRECTION FROM US FOR PRAYER. AND I'M TELLING

YOU, I AM BELIEVING THAT WE ARE GONNA HAVE THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE THAT REALLY RECEIVE MINISTRY. PASTOR'S ALSO

GONNA TALK ABOUT THE NEW THINGS. HOW MANY OF YOU WERE

AT THE PARTNER LUNCHEON AT OPENING THE HEAVENS? ANYBODY

THAT WAS AT THAT? I KNOW THAT WAS A TICKETED EVENT

FOR THAT CONFERENCE, BUT PASTOR'S GONNA BE TALKING

ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HE KIND OF UNVEILED A

LITTLE BIT AT THE PARTNER LUNCHEON REGARDING THE

CHILDREN'S BOOKS. AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY RIGHT

NOW, YOU'RE GONNA BE HEARING A LOT ABOUT THIS. YOU KNOW,

YOU HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT AI AND HOW AI IS BAD, RIGHT?

BUT WITH EVERY BAD, THERE'S GOOD. AND SO SAME WAY WITH

SOCIAL MEDIA. I THINK SOCIAL MEDIA HAS GOT A LOT OF BAD,

BUT RIGHT NOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS BEING USED FOR AMAZING

THINGS. AND SO I THINK AI CAN BE CAPTURED FOR THE

KINGDOM OF GOD. AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE CHILDREN'S

MATERIAL, WE ARE CAPTURING A GENERATION. WE HAVE

DISCOVERED NOW WITH PAUL CROUCH AND THE ANIMATION

COMPANY, THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO TAKE PASTORS, AND WE'VE

GOT TO WORK OUT A FEW BUGS, BUT THEY ARE ABLE TO TAKE

ALL OF PASTORS' CHILDREN'S ANIMATION, WHICH WE'RE

FOCUSING ON THE ZEPTO SERIES RIGHT NOW. HOW MANY OF YOU

SAW THE FIRST VIDEO OF THAT? PASTOR, HOW MANY OF YOU

LOVED IT? IT'S JUST AWESOME. BUT WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT

WE CAN, WHAT USED TO BE, I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS 300,

350,000 TO DO A SINGLE ANIMATED VIDEO, 30 MINUTES.

I MEAN, THIS IS THE COST OF WHAT IT TAKES. AND PAUL WILL

TELL YOU, I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO SAY

THIS, PAUL CROUCH JR. WILL TELL YOU THAT FOR EVERY

SINGLE FRAME THAT YOU SEE IN ANIMATION, IT'S LIKE 20 OR

30 DRAWINGS. ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THIS IS, IT TAKES

SO LONG TO PUT THESE TOGETHER, AND THAT'S WHY,

PART OF THE REASON WHY IT'S SO EXPENSIVE. NOW, SOME OF

THE COST IS YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR VOICEOVERS AND MUSIC,

IT'S SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN PRINTING AND PUBLISHING. BUT

WE FOUND OUT WITH THE USE OF AI THAT WE CAN DO ONE

30-MINUTE VIDEO FOR THE PRICE, FOR ONE 30-MINUTE,

FOR A THIRD OF THE COST. SO WHAT USED TO BE 350,000 IS

JUST OVER THE $100,000 MARK. FOLKS, THIS IS, WE HAVE GOT

TO SEIZE THIS MOMENT. I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, AND

PASTOR'S HEART AND HIS PLAN, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS

THAT NIGHT, THAT WE'RE PRAYING FOR THE KIDS.

PASTOR'S HEART AND HIS PASSION IS TO GET THESE ON

NETWORKS, COME ON, MEDIA OUTLETS, AND COME ON, LET'S

GIVE GOD A PRAISE FOR THAT. WE ARE DETERMINED. WE ARE

COMMITTED TO IT, AND WE'VE NEVER LET FINANCES HOLD US

BACK BEFORE. AND SO WE ARE JUST GONNA KEEP GOING

FORWARD AND GETTING IT DONE. AND I MEAN, OUR GOAL IS

MAYBE RIGHT AFTER JANUARY, WE'RE GONNA GET STARTED

RIGHT AWAY. THE FUNDS THAT WE RAISED AT THE LUNCHEON,

WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO GET A WHOLE VIDEO

DONE. WE'RE GONNA GET STARTED ON THAT RIGHT AWAY.

MOST OF THE OUTLETS NEED PROBABLY MINIMALLY FOUR, SO

THAT WE CAN, THEY'RE NEVER GONNA TAKE A ONE AND DONE.

COMPANIES LIKE PUREFLEX AND THESE OTHER OUTLETS, TO GET

THEM TO TAKE THESE, THEY'LL NEVER TAKE ON THE

INVESTMENT. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, AND THEN WE SUBMIT

THOSE TO THEM AND GET THOSE OUT THERE ON THE NETWORKS.

HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU COULD TURN ON A

YOUTUBE TV OR SOME OTHER OUTLET, PURE FLEX, AND COME

ON, GRANDPARENTS, WHERE ARE YOU? AND YOU COULD LET YOUR

KIDS SIT DOWN AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY THAT THEY

SLIPPED IN HOW TO DO WITCHCRAFT SPELLS, RIGHT?

AND SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL IS NOT SNUCK IN

THERE IN THE PICTURE SOMEWHERE. NO, IT'S

GONNA BE AWESOME, IT'S GONNA BE FUNNY,

AND WE NEED THIS STUFF ALL OVER TELEVISION.

COME ON! (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) IT'S TIME! SO,

THAT'S WHAT THAT NIGHT'S GONNA BE ABOUT. SO PRAY FOR

US, BUT MARK YOUR CALENDARS, ONLINE ONLY, AND IT'LL BE

THE 29TH OF OCTOBER. LET'S TAKE THE AIRWAYS THAT NIGHT

BY STORM. WILL YOU ALL HELP US DO THAT? COME ON,

INTERNET, ALL OF US TOGETHER, LET'S GET IT DONE.

AMEN, ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPTURE

UP. ENOUGH OF ALL THAT. SO MANY THINGS GOING ON HERE AT

THE MINISTRY. OFFERING SCRIPTURE, MALACHI 3:10, AND

Malachi 3:10

I TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK. BRINGING ALL THE

TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE THAT THERE MAY BE, WHAT?

MEAT IN MY HOUSE. NOW, THIS IS WHAT THE LORD JUST

REMINDED ME OF, THAT WE SHOULD, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF

US, CHRISTIANS, ALL OF US THAT ARE CHURCHGOERS, WE

CALL OURSELVES CHURCHGOERS, SHOULD WANT THERE TO BE

MEAT. A BETTER WAY OF SAYING THAT IS SUBSTANCE IN GOD'S

HOUSE. NOW, OF COURSE THAT'S FINANCIAL, 'CAUSE THIS IS

OFFERING TIME, AND SO WE WANT THERE TO BE SUBSTANCE

IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, SO THE MINISTRY CAN DO WHAT IT

DOES. THINGS LIKE OVTV THAT ARE REACHING THE WORLD, AND

OF COURSE STREAMING, QUALITY STREAMING. IT TAKES A LOT OF

MONEY TO DO THOSE THINGS, AND THAT'S JUST THAT ONE

PIECE OF IT. NOTHING HAPPENS FOR FREE, RIGHT? YOU CAN'T

EVEN HAVE A LANDLINE PHONE WITH A CORD FOR FREE. YOU

KNOW, WE HAVE TO PAY. YOU PAY FOR YOUR INTERNET IN

YOUR HOUSE. SO THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT ELEMENTS. BUT ME

IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD OR SUBSTANCE IS YES, FINANCIAL,

BUT IT'S EVERYTHING. THINK ABOUT, YOU ARE ADDING, JUST

BY BEING HERE TODAY, YOU ARE ADDING, LOOK AROUND YOU,

LOOK AT A COUPLE PEOPLE, GIVE THEM A GREAT BIG SMILE.

WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEM, TELL THEM, "I'M SO

GLAD YOU CAME THIS MORNING." I'M GLAD YOU'RE IN HERE,

INTERNET. WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE IN HERE. BUT YOU KNOW, ALL

THOSE PEOPLE AROUND YOU ARE SUBSTANCE IN GOD'S HOUSE, BY

ATTENDING, BY SERVING, BY WORSHIPING. THINK ABOUT

THAT. YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS THINK OF IT LIKE THIS. WE

WERE WATCHING FOOTBALL YESTERDAY. I LOVE SATURDAY

GAME DAY. AND PASTOR AND I GET UP AND WE ALWAYS PUT OUT

OUR FOOTBALL CUPS IN THE MORNING. I MEAN, WE'RE A

FOOTBALL FAMILY. DID YOU FIGURE THAT OUT ALREADY? AND

SO ANYWAY, WE GET OUR FOOTBALL CUPS AND WHATEVER

THE TEAM IS, NEBRASKA WAS ON A BUY WEEK YESTERDAY, SO

PASTOR'S LIKE, SHOULD WE PUT OUR NEBRASKA CUPS OUT? I GO,

LET'S JUST, SO THEN WE GOT ONLINE, I'M TELLING YOU, WE,

GOD HELP US. SO THEN WE GOT ONLINE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE

BAD PART ABOUT THE INTERNET. YOU CAN JUST ABOUT BUY

ANYTHING YOUR MIND CAN DREAM UP. YOU KNOW, IF WALMART

DOESN'T HAVE IT, AMAZON WILL. SO THEN WE GET ONLINE

AND HE SAID, WELL, LET'S JUST FIND SOME, THOSE OF YOU

THAT DON'T WATCH FOOTBALL WOULDN'T GET THIS, BUT LET'S

FIND SOME COLLEGE GAME DAY CUPS, LIKE ACTUAL THE

PROGRAM, ESPN COLLEGE GAME DAY. SO IF NEBRASKA'S ON A

BYE WEEK, WE HAVE LEGAL CUPS. SO, (LAUGHS) SO THE

POINT IS, AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I DID ORDER THEM, BUT

THE POINT IS, IS I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD JUST BE

NO FUN TO WATCH FOOTBALL IF THE CROWD WASN'T THERE.

THERE'D BE NO SUBSTANCE IN THE STADIUM. SO HAVE YOU

THOUGHT ABOUT THAT? YOU KNOW, PART OF WHAT MAKES THE

GAME IS THE PEOPLE SCREAMING AND YELLING AND WAVING STUFF

AND ALL OF THIS. NOW CHURCH IS DIFFERENT. I GET IT. IT'S

NOT LIKE A FOOTBALL GAME, BUT PART OF IT IS WE ADD

SUBSTANCE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. WE NEED MEAT IN

HIS HOUSE. LOOK AT THE GROUP THAT WAS UP HERE TODAY,

EVERYBODY PRAYING. IT WAS THE MEAT OF THE HOUSE, THE

SUBSTANCE OF THE HOUSE THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. SO

I JUST WANNA SAY EVERY ONE OF US, ESPECIALLY IN OUR

FINANCES, OUR TITHES, OUR OFFERINGS, 'CAUSE THE

CONTEXT IN THE SCRIPTURE WAS TITHES AND OFFERINGS, BUT

EVERY ONE OF US SHOULD MAKE IT OUR GOAL TO PUT MEAT IN

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. I THOUGHT, LORD, IT'S

DISCOURAGING WHEN YOU SEE, YOU KNOW, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

GOING THROUGH DISNEY EVERY YEAR AND THE STUFF THAT THEY

PROMOTE AND PEOPLE JUST GO THERE AND GO THERE AND GO

THERE AND GO THERE. AND YET CHURCH IS A LITTLE BIT OF A

STRUGGLE FOR SOME PEOPLE. AND I THOUGHT, NO, LORD,

THAT'S CHANGING. LIKE PASTOR DOUG SAID, WE'RE IN A

REVIVAL AND THERE IS GOING TO BE SUBSTANCE. COME ON,

I'M BELIEVING FOR THE DAY THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A

SMALL CHURCH. COME ON, SOMEBODY. EVERY CHURCH OUGHT

TO BE PACKED, EVERY CHAIR FILLED, SUBSTANCE IN THE

HOUSE OF THE LORD. YOU HEAR PEOPLE USE THE PHRASE, MAKE

HEAVEN CROWDED. WELL, I THINK CHURCH OUGHT TO BE

CROWDED BEFORE WE GET THERE. OKAY, THERE'S NOT A CHAIR,

AN EXTRA CHAIR FOR YOUR BIBLE. YOUR BIBLE'S GOT TO

BE ON YOUR LAP BECAUSE WE NEED THAT SEAT FOR SOMEBODY.

COME ON, SOMEBODY. WE ARE COMING INTO A TIME. THERE IS

MEAT AND SUBSTANCE INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD LIKE WE'VE

NEVER SEEN BEFORE. PASTORS AREN'T GONNA KNOW WHAT TO

DO. THEY'LL LOOK OUT THERE AND GO, WHERE'D ALL THESE

PEOPLE COME FROM? 'CAUSE WE ARE SHIFTING INTO A BRAND

NEW THING. SO TOUCH YOURSELVES, SAY, LORD, I

MAKE IT MY GOAL TO BRING MEAT THROUGH MY FINANCES, MY

GIVING, AND TO BRING SUBSTANCE TO THE HOUSE OF

THE LORD. SO FATHER, THAT THE HARVEST MAY BE WON. COME

ON IN JESUS' NAME. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT?

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)

ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT OUR GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE

SCREEN. THEY'LL PUT IT UP THERE, ALL THE DIFFERENT

WAYS TO GIVE. AND BY THE WAY, THIS WEEK WE'RE COMING

INTO THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. I'LL BE TALKING

ABOUT THAT A LITTLE NEXT SUNDAY. OCTOBER THE 1ST,

OCTOBER THE 1ST IS WHAT WE CALL YOM KIPPUR OR THE DAY

OF ATONEMENT. AND THERE'S A SPECIAL GIVING SEASON, AND

SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE TO THAT, AND THAT IS AVAILABLE

ALREADY ON OUR DROPDOWN. SO THOSE OF YOU THAT WANT TO

JUMP IN ON YOUR FEAST OF TABERNACLE GIVING, I'LL GIVE

YOU AN UPDATE IN PROBABLY A WEEK OR TWO ON HOW WE DID ON

THE CONFERENCE. YOU KNOW, THOSE BILLS ARE STILL

ACCUMULATING, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL OF THOSE ARE

YET. WE GET KIND OF A FINAL BILL FROM THE ARENA IN

OCTOBER. SO THEN I'LL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. HOW MANY OF

YOU'D LIKE AN UPDATE ON HOW WE DID FOR OPENING THE

HEAVENS? THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AND ON OUR BUILDING

PROJECT, I'D NEED TO STILL CHECK THAT. I DIDN'T HAVE AN

OPPORTUNITY, SO I WILL. I'VE BEEN ON A BOOK DEADLINE,

FOLKS, AND MAN, I'M TELLING YOU, THERE'S A COUPLE DAYS

I'M LIKE, "LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?" AND OTHER

DAYS MY FINGERS ARE LIKE FIRE. AND WE'RE GOING, WE'RE

GONNA GET THIS BOOK DONE IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME VERY,

VERY SOON. SO TEXT TO GIVE INFORMATION, THE MOBILE APP,

WEBSITE, QR CODE. AND BY THE WAY, PASTOR DOUG, QR CODES

ARE ALSO FOR US OLD PEOPLE TOO. WE ALL LEARNED HOW TO

USE THEM DURING COVID. YOU WALK INTO A RESTAURANT AND

THEY'D SAY, "THERE'S A QR CODE." I'M LIKE, "HUH?" YOU

COULDN'T EVEN HAVE A MENU. I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO USE A QR

CODE TO EAT. SO THERE YOU GO, BUT WE ALL MADE IT

THROUGH, PRAISE THE LORD. ALL RIGHT, ENVELOPE, THANK

YOU FOR ALL OF YOU ON THE INTERNET THAT SEND IN YOUR

GIVING BY MAIL. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL. INTERNET, YOU MAKE

SUCH A DIFFERENCE. AND THANK YOU FOR NOT JUST WATCHING,

BUT PARTICIPATING IN THE GIVING, THE OPPORTUNITY TO

PUT MEAT IN GOD'S HOUSE WHERE YOU'RE RECEIVING

FEEDING TODAY. YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING TO PASTOR AND I.

WE PRAYED FOR YOU THIS MORNING. WE PRAYED FOR ALL

OF OUR MEMBERS, EVERYBODY. AND ONE THING WE DECLARE IS

THAT ANYBODY, WHILE THEY'RE ON THIS CAMPUS, THERE'LL BE

NO ACCIDENT, NO INJURY, NO TRAGEDY, NO CALAMITY. WE

DECLARE AGAINST IT. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU ALL CAN PRAY.

BUT INTERNET, IF YOU'RE CONNECTING, WE DO THE SAME

THING FOR YOU AS WELL, THAT GOD IS GONNA BLESS EVERYBODY

THAT CONNECTS. AMEN? ALL RIGHT, WELL, IF YOU'VE GOT

YOUR GIVING READY, LET'S STAND UP, HOLD IT UP AS HIGH

AS YOU CAN. HOLD UP YOUR ENVELOPE, OR IF YOU'RE

GIVING THROUGH AN ENVELOPE, OR IF YOU'RE GIVING

ELECTRONICALLY, HOLD UP YOUR PHONE OR YOUR DEVICE, AND

LET'S ALL JUST AGREE TOGETHER. HEAVENLY FATHER, I

JUST THANK YOU FOR EVERY GIVER UNDER THE SOUND OF MY

VOICE. FATHER, THEY ARE THE SUBSTANCE. THEY ARE THE

PEOPLE THAT BRING AN ANOINTING. THEY BRING

SERVICE TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. FATHER, THEY BRING AN

INCREASE TO THE HOUSE. THEY BRING A TOUCH TO SOMEBODY IN

THE ROOM TODAY. AND FATHER, I THANK YOU THEY BRING

SUBSTANCE THROUGH THEIR TITHES AND THEIR OFFERINGS.

WE HONOR YOU FOR IT, FATHER, AND WE THANK YOU THAT,

FATHER, WHERE WE BRING SUBSTANCE TO YOUR HOUSE. YOU

SAID YOU'D OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN. FATHER, WE

BELIEVE IT. WE DON'T DOUBT IT. WE DON'T GO ON WHAT WE

SEE. WE WAIT AND WE TRUST, FATHER, THAT YOU WILL BLESS

US FOR OUR OBEDIENCE AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT. COME ON,

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN AND AMEN. ALL RIGHT, YOU READY

TO DO OUR DECREE? PASTOR MATT'S IN DALLAS, SO HERE WE

GO. 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. ALL 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, AND THAT WE WILL

QUADRUPLE AGAIN. WE DECLARE NEW THINGS NOW. WE DECREE MINISTRY

AND CAMPUS BE EXPANDED NOW IN JESUS NAME. GIVE GOD A GREAT

BIG SHOUT AND SAY YES TO SERVE YOU. LET'S WELCOME PASTOR HANK.

- ALL RIGHT. SO LET PASTOR BRENDA KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH

WE'RE GONNA HAVE SEPARATE PIZZA TONIGHT, THAT

GODFATHERS IS REALLY WHERE SHE NEEDS TO GO. HAVE YOU

EVER HAD A CRAVING FOR SOMETHING AND YOU JUST, I'M THE ONLY ONE?

- YES.

- YOU KNOW, THE WORST ONES ARE, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE

EVER DONE ANY FASTING? YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN, I FAST FOR

THE LAST 10 YEARS. I THINK I'VE TOLD YOU, I'VE BEEN

FASTING EVERY DAY FOR ABOUT THE LAST 10 YEARS. USUALLY

MY FAST STARTS ABOUT 10 OR 11 AT NIGHT AND GOES TO

ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE, SIX. IT VARIES EVERY DAY, BUT I'VE

BEEN FASTING. SO YEAH, YOU COULD, ER, IF YOU WANT. BUT

ANYWAY, I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS WEIRD CRAVING. I DON'T

KNOW WHAT, I'M LIKE, WHY AM I CRAVING? SO EVERY TIME I

GO BY, BUT HAVE YOU EVER HAD IT WHERE YOU FAST AND YOU'RE

LIKE, OKAY, GOD, I CAN DO THIS. I CAN DO THIS ONE HOUR

OF FASTING, RIGHT? AND YOU DRIVE BY A FAST FOOD

RESTAURANT THAT YOU NEVER GO TO, YOU NEVER WANT TO GO TO.

YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING TO, BUT YET YOU WANNA

GO THERE. YOU EVER HAD THAT? YOU ARE, OKAY, I'M GONNA,

I'M SAYING GREAT STUFF HERE, HAVEN'T EVEN GOT TO MY

MESSAGE, AND NOBODY'S SAYING ANYTHING. YEAH, I DO WANNA

MENTION JUST A COUPLE THINGS. BRENDA, YOU WERE

MENTIONING ABOUT THE CHILDREN'S. DO THEY HAVE MY

CAPTAIN ZEPTO COMIC BOOK GRAPHICS WITH ALL THE

DIFFERENT COMIC BOOKS THAT WE'VE DONE? I JUST, FOR

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD

AND YOU THAT MIGHT BE VISITING, I WANT YOU TO SEE

HOW MUCH WE HAVE, HOW MUCH WE'VE COMPLETED. SO I'VE

CREATED THESE CHARACTERS, I'VE GOT A GREAT

ILLUSTRATOR, THANK GOD, 'CAUSE I CAN'T DRAW ALL OF

THIS STUFF, I WOULDN'T HAVE TIME ANYMORE. BUT THIS CAME

OUT OF MY BRAIN, BY GOD, I THINK THERE'S SEVEN OF 'EM

NOW. AND WE'RE PUTTING 'EM ALL IN ANIMATION. THE ONE ON

THE FAR LEFT, CAPTAIN ZEPTO THERE, ON THE FAR LEFT, THAT

ONE'S ALREADY IN VIDEO. I BELIEVE THAT ONE IS. AND

THEN THE OTHER THREE, FOUR ON TOP, THOSE ARE THE ONES

THAT ARE BEING WORKED ON NOW. AND ALL WE NEED TO DO

IS COLOR 'EM. THE VOICES ARE ALL DONE, THE ANIMATION,

PENCIL WORK IS ALL DONE, WE JUST NEED TO COLOR 'EM IN.

AND THEN THE COMPUTERS HELP BRINGING 'EM TO LIFE. AND SO

THAT'S THAT SERIES. AND THEN MUTZVI AND MILO, I WANNA

SHOW 'EM, THIS WAS MY OTHER SERIES, SO THEY'RE

INTERESTED IN PUTTING THAT IN ANIMATION TOO. THAT'S FOR

THE YOUNGER KIDS. AND I ACTUALLY HAVE SIX, THERE'S

EIGHT BOOKS THERE, ACTUALLY NINE 'CAUSE I JUST GOT DONE

WRITING A DAVID AND GOLIATH STORY WITH MUTZVI AND MILO,

AND IT'S HILARIOUS. I WROTE A CHRISTMAS ONE CALLED PEACE

ON EARTH COULD WILT TOWARDS MUD RATS. THAT IS HILARIOUS.

IT IS REALLY, REALLY HILARIOUS. I INVENT THE ZORB

SLIME BALL, 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, BAD PEOPLE CAN BE SLIME

BALLS. AND THEN PUT P.I. GUS UP. THEY'VE ALREADY PUT THIS

IN 3D ANIMATION, AND WE'RE GETTING READY. SO THAT ONE

IS, THEY'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW FOR 3D ANIMATION. SO

ONCE I GET THESE FOUR ZEPTOS, I'M COMING FOR YOU

GUYS. WE GOTTA GET HIM IN ANIMATION. SO THAT ONE IS

REALLY, YOU'RE GONNA SQUEAL WITH LAUGHTER ON THAT ONE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A GREAT ONE. ALL RIGHT, LASTLY, IT

SEEMS LIKE IT'S ANNOUNCEMENT SUNDAY, SO I'M GONNA JUST

MAKE A COUPLE MORE. I'M SORRY. HEY, I WILL BE

FLASHPOINT LIVE, CROWN POINT, INDIANA ON THURSDAY.

AND THEN JEAN BAILEY TALKED ME INTO STAYING OVER AND

DOING FRIDAY MORNING TECH TALK. AND THEN I AM HEADING

OUT, AND I'M HEADING TO DETROIT FRIDAY NIGHT TO

PREACH FOR KEITH BUTLER. AND IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT, GREAT

TIME. BUT I ALSO HAVE AN EVENT. IF THEY COULD PUT UP

THE EVENT, WE'RE LETTING THEM USE OUR CHURCH. HOW

MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF FLASHPOINT? RAISE YOUR

HAND. I WANNA SEE HOW MANY OF YOU HEARD OF FLASHPOINT.

WE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE FLASHPOINT IF IT WASN'T FOR

KENNETH COPELAND WHO HELPED LAUNCH IT. (AUDIENCE

APPLAUDING) AND JONATHAN SHUTTLESWORTH. BUT LISTEN,

IF YOU ATTEND CHURCH HERE, I WANT EVERYBODY TO COME AND

SHOW OUR HONOR. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST HAVE A FEELING

THAT THIS COULD BE MAYBE THE LAST TIME THAT THEY ALL COME

BACK TO, I DON'T KNOW, I JUST KINDA SENSE, I JUST

SENSE THERE'S SOMETHING SHIFTING AND I THINK WE

SHOULD SHOW HONOR. WE'VE OPENED UP OUR AUDITORIUM AND

EVERY ONE OF THOSE SPEAKERS MOVE IN SIGNS AND WONDERS

AND I JUST BELIEVE WE'RE GONNA SEE SOME POWERFUL

BREAKTHROUGHS. BUT BROTHER COPELAND, I JUST WANNA HONOR

HIM BECAUSE I REMEMBER IN 2018 AND '19, HE CALLED ME,

HE SAID, "I WANT YOU TO COME PRAY WITH ME." HE SAID, "I

WANT YOU TO GIVE ME TWO DAYS." AND I SAID, "WELL,

HOW LONG DO YOU WANT TO PRAY?" HE GOES, "OH, WE'RE

GONNA PRAY LIKE, YOU KNOW, "EIGHT TO 12 HOURS. "WE'RE

GONNA MEET AND PRAY." AND HE GOES, "AND BRING A WORD FROM

GOD." LIKE, OKAY, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A WORD. AND

FINALLY ON THE AIRPLANE, THE LORD SPOKE TO ME AND SAID,

"THERE'S A PLAGUE COMING. "IT'S A WORLDWIDE PLAGUE."

AND HE SAID THAT THE DECADE WOULD BE KNOWN AS THE DECADE

OF DIFFERENCE, ONE THAT WE'RE COMING INTO. AND HE

SAID IT WOULD START OFF HARSH, BUT THEN WE WOULD

COME UP INTO REST. AND THEN OF COURSE I HAD PROPHESIED

THAT IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND DIFFERENT OTHER PLACES

BEFORE ALL OF THAT HAPPENED WITH COVID AND EVERYTHING.

BUT WHEN I WAS WITH HIM IN 2019, I SAID TO HIM, I SAID,

"BROTHER COPELAND, "THERE IS COMING A MOMENT IN OUR

COUNTRY "WHERE YOU'RE GONNA BE ASKED TO DO SOMETHING.

"YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LAUNCH SOMETHING "THAT IS GOING TO

BE A SPARK. "AND IT'S GOING TO BE A SPARK "THAT YOU'RE

GONNA HAND TO SOMEBODY." AND SO THEN I PROPHESIED TO GENE

BAILEY. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING. I SAID, GENE,

BROTHER COPELAND, GOD SAID THERE'S A SPARK. WELL, THAT

SPARK IS GONNA LAND ON YOUR HEAD AND YOU'RE THE ONE THAT

IS GONNA CARRY SOMETHING THAT IS VERY UNUSUAL. IT'S

SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE. AND WHEN THE CALL

COMES FROM BROTHER COPELAND, YOU NEED TO SAY YES. I HAD

NO CLUE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. BUT HELLO,

FLASHPOINT. SO LET'S, HOW MANY OF YOU, LET'S SHOW UP

IN HONOR TO GOD AND IT'LL BE A WONDERFUL TIME WITH THE

LORD. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO ISAIAH 42. I WANNA TALK TO

YOU ABOUT A SHIFT CHANGE. HOW MANY HAVE EVER BEEN PART

OF A JOB? HOPEFULLY YOU'VE WORKED BEFORE. YOU ARE A

TOUGH CROWD. I MEAN, I'M ASKING QUESTIONS AND PEOPLE

ARE LIKE, NOPE, NOPE, NEVER WORKED BEFORE IN MY LIFE. I

DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. YOU KNOW, I'M ASKING ABOUT FAST

FOOD. OH, NO, I'M A VEGETARIAN. I DON'T EAT

THAT, YOU KNOW. TALK ABOUT FOOD, NO, I SKIP FOOD. YOU

GOTTA WORK WITH ME, SAY WORK WITH HIM.

- WORK WITH HIM.

- ALL RIGHT, OTHERWISE I'M JUST GONNA TALK TO YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING IN YOUR HOMES, 'CAUSE AT LEAST YOU'RE

AMENING MORE. I KNOW IT, I'LL EVEN PULL UP MY PHONE

AND SEE THE SCROLL. ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY ARE GONNA

WORK WITH ME? ALL RIGHT, SO WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A

SHIFT CHANGE. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER BEEN TO A PLACE

WHERE THERE WAS A SHIFT CHANGE ON A JOB? AND WHAT IT

WAS IS ONE TIME CLOCKED OUT AND ANOTHER ONE WAS

BEGINNING. WELL, HELLO, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT

NOW IN THE EARTH. AND IT'S WHY YOU CAN LOOK, I DON'T

KNOW IF YOU'VE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET, YOU SCROLL,

WHATEVER, OR YOU GO AND YOU WATCH TV IF THEY DO SHOW IT,

BUT WHOLE STADIUMS AND ARENAS ARE BEING FILLED WITH

PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD. AND

GUESS WHAT, THEY'RE NOT CHEERING FOR GREEN BAY

PACKERS ARE GONNA BEAT DALLAS TODAY. THEY'RE

ACTUALLY, SEE THAT'S THE MOST I EVER GOT OUT OF YOU

TODAY. THAT'S IT. I MEAN, NO RESPONSE EXCEPT THAT ONE.

OKAY, BUT LISTEN, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN

THE STADIUMS AND THE ARENAS? THEY'RE SHOUTING JESUS.

THEY'RE SHOUTING YESHUA. WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW

THAT? SOMETHING HAS SHIFTED. SOMETHING HAS CHANGED. AND

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. AND IT'S ONLY GONNA GET

READY, ENGLISH TEACHERS. IT'S ONLY GONNA GET GOODER.

(CONGREGATION CHEERING) AND IF THAT'S NOT A WORD, I MADE

IT A WORD AGAIN. BUT LOOK AT ISAIAH 42, VERSE NINE. PAY

ATTENTION, BEHOLD, FORMER THINGS ARE COME TO PASS.

AREN'T YOU GLAD THAT SOME THINGS IS IN THE PAST? SOME

THINGS IS LIKE, WE AIN'T MESSING WITH THAT NO MORE.

WE ARE NOT GOING BACK, JACK. IT'S TIME TO MAKE A NEW

PLAN, STAN. DON'T MEAN TO BE COY, ROY. YOU BETTER LISTEN

TO ME. BOY, IF I HAD A MOMENT, I'D WRITE IT IN A

SONG. ALL THE MILLENNIALS GOING, "NEVER MIND, LET'S

JUST KEEP MOVING." BEHOLD, THE FORMER THINGS ARE COME

TO PASS, THEY'RE LIKE GONE. BUT GET THIS, OH MY

GOODNESS, NEW THINGS. SOMEONE SAY NEW THINGS. LOOK

AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY NEW THINGS. NEW THINGS, NEW

THINGS. IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S A NEW SEASON, WE ARE IN A

SHIFT CHANGE. AND I GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETHING, IF YOU

WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE NEW, QUIT LOOKING FOR THE BAD.

KEEP, QUIT LOOKING AT WHAT WAS. QUIT REHEARSING THE

PAST. QUIT REMINDING YOURSELF OF THE PAST. 'CAUSE

WE'RE ON A NEW SHIFT. TIME IS CHANGING. AND I, BEFORE

THEY EVEN COME, I'M GONNA DECLARE THEM. NOW WHAT DOES

THAT HAVE TO DO WITH US? 5786, SEPTEMBER 22ND, WAS

THE BEGINNING OF THE JEWISH NEW YEAR. AND YOU HAVE TO

UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS A GOD OF EVENTS, BUT HE DOES DO

THINGS WITH THE CALENDARS OF THE EARTH. HE DOES IT WITH

THE JEWISH CALENDAR, AND HE DOES IT WITH WHAT THEY CALL

THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR, WHICH IN JUST A FEW MONTHS,

2026, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I MEAN, WE JUST HAD THE NEW

YEAR'S EVE SERVICE HERE, DIDN'T WE? YOU ALL REMEMBER

THAT? TIME IS GOING BY FAST. EXCEPT WHEN YOU'RE A KID AND

YOU HAD MOM, THE SEARS CATALOG AND THE JC PENNEY

CATALOG, AND SHE'D GIVE IT TO US AND SAY, "MARK, WHAT

YOU WANT?" AND I'D PUT LIKE 400 ITEMS DOWN, RIGHT? AND

IT TOOK FOREVER, EVER. AND MOM, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW

YOU AFFORDED ALL THE STUFF THAT I CIRCLED. I

PRACTICALLY GOT ALL OF IT. NO, I DIDN'T. OH, I HAD

BROTHERS AND SISTERS. WELL, MOM, THAT'S OKAY. I'M GONNA

GET A SEARS CATALOG AND CIRCLES AND STUFF AND SEE IF

YOU CAN MAKE IT UP NOW. SO WE'LL JUST KINDA. NEW

THINGS, MOM, NEW THINGS I DECLARE. THEY'RE COMING MY

WAY. AMEN. I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT GI JOES ANYMORE, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW WHAT I DID ONE TIME WITH GI JOES, THOUGH? OH,

YOU'RE GONNA THINK THIS IS BAD. SO ONE TIME WE WERE

HAVING A WAR. BACK IN THOSE DAYS, EVERYTHING THAT YOU

DID WHEN YOU WERE A KID, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WANTED TO

OUTLAW GUNS, MAN, WE'D PICK UP STICKS, MAN. IT'D ALWAYS

BE THE UNITED STATES AGAINST, SORRY, YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING IN RUSSIA, BUT IT'D ALWAYS BE UNITED STATES

VERSUS RUSSIA UNTIL ROCKY BALBOA CAME OUT, REMEMBER?

AND HE WON AGAINST THE RUSSIAN. "I DON'T KNOW ABOUT

YOU, BUT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE." AND THEN I WAS LIKE, "OKAY,

WE GOTTA GET ALONG "WITH THE RUSSIANS, THANK GOD." BUT WE

WOULD TAKE BARBIE DOLLS. WE'D CUT THEIR HAIR AND

PRETEND LIKE THEY WERE RUSSIANS. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

AND THERE WOULD BE EXPLOSIONS FROM THE 4TH OF

JULY FIREWORKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND NO, I DIDN'T

PLAY WITH BARBIES, I BORROWED THEM FROM MY

SISTERS. SORRY, MOM. THAT'S WHY THEY GOT 300 NEW ONES

EVERY CHRISTMAS, BECAUSE THE OLD ONES WERE BEING USED AS

RUSSIANS. ALL RIGHT, I BETTER GET BACK TO

PREACHING. I'M LIKE MAKING NO SENSE UP HERE. ALL RIGHT,

LET'S JUST GO ON. ALL RIGHT, I GOT SOME POWERFUL STUFF TO

SAY. ALL RIGHT, 5786, CHRISTMAS IS COMING, NEW

YEAR'S IS COMING, THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR, 2026,

SEPTEMBER 22ND, THE JEWISH IS WHAT, 5786. WHAT DOES IT

MEAN? IT LITERALLY MEANS A SHIFT CHANGE. IT MEANS A

CONVERGENCE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH. IT LITERALLY ALSO

MEANS TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND. IT LITERALLY MEANS GOD

IS DIVIDING. YOU MIGHT SAY, "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,

WAIT A MINUTE. "GOD IS DIVIDING, PASTOR HANK?" YES,

I WANT YOU TO GO REAL QUICK, LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAID IN

LUKE CHAPTER 12, VERSE 51. AND REALLY WHAT THIS

Luke 12:51

DIVISION IS, LIGHT AND DARKNESS, GOOD VERSUS EVIL.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE A REMAKE OF, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER

WATCHED THE 10 COMMANDMENTS? WHERE IT'S LIKE, YOU HAD

GOD'S PEOPLE AND THEN YOU HAD EGYPT, RIGHT? AND GOD'S

PEOPLE, THERE WAS A FAVOR, THERE WAS A BLESSING, BUT

PHARAOH AND EGYPT, YOU COULD SEE THAT GOD HIMSELF PUT A

DIFFERENCE. WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT. NOW, JESUS IS

SPEAKING. AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW

IN YOUR LIVING ROOM, LISTEN TO ME. LOOK AT WHAT JESUS

SAID, "SUPPOSE YE THAT "I'VE COME TO GIVE PEACE ON THE

EARTH." NOW, SOME PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION OF JESUS IS THAT

HE'S ALWAYS THIS LIMP-WRISTED, WEAK-KNEED,

WHO NEVER HAD A BACKBONE, AND HE WENT TO THE CROSS.

IT'S AMAZING HIS LIMBS DIDN'T BREAK BECAUSE HE WAS

THIS FRAIL LITTLE REPRESENTATION OF GOD TO

HUMANITY. NO, JESUS, I'VE SEEN HIM. HE'S A MAN'S MAN.

HE REALLY IS. HIS BUILD, HIS PHYSIQUE. IF I HAD A BEARD,

YOU COULD SEE IT KIND OF. NOW, JESUS, YEAH. SO, OKAY,

JUST USE YOUR IMAGINATION. BUT JESUS SAID THESE WORDS.

"SUPPOSE THAT I'VE COME TO GIVE PEACE." THAT'S SOME

PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION OF JESUS IS THAT HE NEVER DID

ANYTHING TO RUFFLE ANYONE'S FEATHERS. HE WAS ALL ABOUT

LOVE, BUT YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE COMMANDS US TO SPEAK

THE TRUTH IN LOVE. AND DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES

JESUS WAS VERY, VERY, VERY CONFRONTATIONAL? AND SO HE'S

SAYING TO HIS DISCIPLES, YOU HAVE A PERCEPTION, JUST LIKE

PEOPLE DO TODAY, THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT MY KINGDOM,

EVERYTHING ABOUT MY NATURE IS JUST SKIPPITY-DOO-DA-DAY.

EVERYTHING IS JUST SO PEACEFUL. I DON'T WANNA

OFFEND ANYONE. I DON'T WANNA, YOU KNOW, LISTEN, IF

YOUR PARENTS DON'T LIKE ME, YOU KNOW, BOY, I DON'T WANNA

COME BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR PARENTS, RIGHT? I DON'T

WANNA SAY ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA BRING DIVISION, RIGHT?

I'M GONNA MAKE THE PHARISEES HAPPY. I'M GONNA MAKE THE

DOCTORS OF THE LAW HAPPY. I'M GONNA MAKE CAIAPHAS

HAPPY. OH, AND BY THE WAY, I'M REALLY GONNA MAKE HEROD,

OH, I'M GONNA MAKE SURE THAT I'M AT PEACE AND I'M NOT

GONNA SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT. NO, THAT'S NOT

JESUS. HE EVEN SAID IT. YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID? HE SAID,

YOU GO TELL THAT FOX HEROD, AND HE WASN'T USING FOX

LIKE, YOU GO TELL THAT SLY PRESIDENT OR POLITICIAN. NO,

HE USED THE WORD FOX, WHICH MEANT THIS. YOU GO TELL THAT

IMMORAL, BISEXUAL, YES, ABSOLUTELY PERVERT, THAT'S

WHAT JESUS WAS SAYING, THAT I AIN'T CHANGING.

(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) TODAY, I DO MIRACLES,

TOMORROW I'M GONNA DO THE SAME. JESUS SAID, "DON'T

THINK AND GET IN YOUR HEAD "THAT EVERYTHING THAT I'VE

COME TO DO "IS ALWAYS GONNA BE HAPPITY, SKIPPITY, DOODAH

DAY." HOW MANY OF YOU, SINCE YOU REALLY, NOW I'M NOT

SAYING SINCE YOU BECAME A CHRISTIAN, 'CAUSE THERE'S

PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE BECOME A CHRISTIAN AND THEY

AIN'T RUFFLED ANYONE'S FEATHERS. HALF THE TIME

PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY'RE A CHRISTIAN, RIGHT?

THEY'RE SUCH A PEACEMAKER, THEY BLEND IN LIKE BOBBY

BLENDON. AND THERE'S NO SEPARATION. NOBODY CAN TELL

WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU ARE, RIGHT? AS FAR AS YOUR

CHRISTIANITY. AND JESUS SAID, NO, DON'T THINK THAT

REALLY WHAT I'M ASKING YOU ALL TO DO HAS TO DO WITH

JUST EVERYBODY GET ALONG. NOW I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT

HATE, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PATHETIC VIOLENCE THAT

WE'RE SEEING TODAY. BUT HE'S SAYING, LISTEN, IF YOU

REALLY WANT TO BE A FOLLOWER OF ME, NOT EVERYBODY IS

GONNA AGREE WITH YOU OR LIKE YOU. SO YOU DON'T CHANGE

YOUR MESSAGE, YOU DON'T COMPROMISE, YOU DON'T COME

DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BECOME WOKE AND CHANGE YOUR

PRONOUNS AND BE APOLOGETIC LIKE THE PREACHERS THAT HAD

TO GET UP AND TALK ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK. OH, YOU KNOW,

SOME OF YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH CHARLIE KIRK. SHUT UP,

PREACHER! (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) WE DON'T NEED

YOU TO GIVE APOLOGETICS. DO YOU HAVE A BACKBONE? IT'S

TIME THAT YOUR CHURCH GETS DIVIDED WITH TRUTH,

ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS HAVE APOLOGETICS. YOU

KNOW, I REMEMBER ONE TIME I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT OUR CHURCH IS PREACHING IN OUR CITY AND I WENT OUT

AND I HEARD ONE PREACHER HE'S NOT EVEN PREACHING

ANYMORE, BUT HE TEACHES THAT MUCH. AND I THOUGHT, "WELL,

WHAT'S HIS SERMON?" SO I CLICKED ON "SERMON OF THE

DAY" AND HE GETS ON, HE'S LIKE, "OH, OH." AND WE

WONDER WHY TODAY THAT PEOPLE HAVE A MENTALITY OF JESUS

BEING THIS WEAK VESSEL. BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE GUYS

GO OFF TO CEMETERY AND THEY LEARN HOMILETICS AND THEY

ALL COME BACK. I MEAN, NORMALLY THEY TALK LIKE

THIS, BUT WHEN THEY GET BEHIND THE PULPIT, IT NOW

HAS TO BECOME LIKE THIS. AND EVERYBODY HAS TO, WE DON'T

WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY, AND WE HAVE TO BE VERY NICE TO

EVERYBODY. TODAY WE'RE HAVING A POTLUCK BLESSING.

AND WE NEED TO TELL YOU NOW, YOU REALLY, REALLY SHOULD

THINK ABOUT, NOW THE JACK TALKS NORMALLY LIKE THIS TO

HIS KIDS, "CLEAR UP YOUR ROOM." BUT WHEN HE GETS

AROUND THE PULPIT, I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING VERY BOLD.

I MEAN, WOULD YOU WANNA, I WOULD NOT WANNA FOLLOW

SOMEBODY LIKE THAT. I'D BE LIKE, "DUDE, ARE YOU A MAN?

DO YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF LEADERSHIP ABOUT YOU?" NO,

IT TAUGHT THEM TO BE SISSIES. THAT'S WHY THEY

WERE ALL COWARDS DURING COVID. (CONGREGATION MURMURS)

WHAT'S MY POINT? (CONGREGATION LAUGHS) OH, SO

ANYWAY, THANK YOU, HONEY, FOR ACTUALLY LISTENING TO

ME. SO ANYWAY, I CLICKED ON. HAD TO DO THE VOICE SO YOU'D

HEAR HOW THEY DID IT. I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT

WILL PROBABLY FRIGHTEN ALL OF YOU. AND AS YOUR PASTOR,

I WOULD NEVER WANT TO MAKE YOU AFRAID OR OFFEND YOU. SO

JUST BEAR WITH ME. WHAT I'M GOING TO SHARE IS OUT OF THE

WORD OF GOD. I'M LIKE, WHAT IS IT, MAN? I'M WAITING FOR

THIS SCARY THING. I'M GOING TO TALK TODAY ABOUT THE

SUBJECT OF TITHING. I MEAN, MY WALLY CLEAVER KICKED IN.

SHE PREACHER. WHAT ARE YOU BEING SO GOOFY FOR? OK, I

GOT TO MOVE ON. THIS IS NOT EVEN MY MESSAGE. SO SUPPOSE

THAT I'VE COME TO GIVE PEACE ON EARTH. JESUS SAID, "AH,

NAY, NAY." EVERYONE GO, "NAY!" RIGHT? 'CAUSE JESUS

WAS TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE THE HORSES

BETOOT. "NAY!" I'VE COME TO GIVE, I'M PREACHING IT THE

WAY I WANT TO PREACH IT, OK? SO, OK. IT'S MY MOM AND

DAD'S FAULT THEY RAISED ME THIS WAY. BUT RATHER, ALL

RIGHT. HE SAID, "I DIDN'T COME TO BRING PEACE, BUT

RATHER I HAVE COME TO BRING DIVISION." HE SAID IT, "I'VE

COME TO BRING DIVISION." NOW, RIGHT NOW IN THE EARTH,

THERE ARE FOUR DIVISIONS THAT I THINK ARE HAPPENING.

NUMBER ONE, WRITE THIS DOWN, THERE IS GENESIS 1:14 GOING

Genesis 1:14

ON. THIS IS THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THIS. IN

GENESIS 1, VERSE 14, AND THIS IS IN CONTEXT OF 57,

Genesis 1:14

86, THE JEWISH NEW YEAR, AND ALSO 2026 THAT WE'RE GETTING

READY. NUMBER ONE DIVISION IS BETWEEN LIGHT AND

DARKNESS, GOOD AND EVIL. I THINK GOD ON PURPOSE IS

MAKING IT SO PLAIN. WHO IS ON THE LORD'S SIDE? ARE YOU

ON THE SIDE OF GOOD? BECAUSE TODAY WE'VE GOT A GENERATION

WHERE PEOPLE ARE CALLING, THEY'RE SO JACKED UP,

THEY'RE CALLING EVIL GOOD. AND THEN IF ANYBODY DOES

ANYTHING GOOD, THEY'RE CALLING THAT EVIL. AND IN

GENESIS 1, GOD SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHTS IN THE

FIRMAMENT." NOW, HOW MANY KNOW YOU'RE THE LIGHTS NOW

IN THE FIRMAMENT? YOU'RE THE LIGHTS THAT REPRESENT THE

KINGDOM OF GOD. YOU REPRESENT HEAVEN. AND NOTICE

IT SAID, "TO DIVIDE THE DAY FROM NIGHT." IN OTHER WORDS,

RATHER THAN THE CHURCH BECOMING SUBCULTURAL IN THE

CULTURE, RIGHT? WHATEVER THE CULTURE SAYS, HOWEVER THE

CULTURE ACTS, WHATEVER THE CULTURE WANTS, WHATEVER THE

CULTURE PUSHES IN ITS COMPROMISE, IN ITS WOKE,

RIGHT? MANY CHURCHES WOULD JUST BECOME SUBCULTURAL. AND

GOD SAYS, "WAIT A MINUTE, YOU'RE LIKE THE FIRMAMENT.

"YOU'RE LIKE THE LIGHTS. "YOU ARE BORN FROM ABOVE,

AND YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, "AND YOU ARE NOT

SUPPOSED TO BLEND IN "AND PUT YOUR LIGHT UNDERNEATH

THE BUSHEL. "YOU ARE TO BE ACTUALLY PART OF THE

DIVISION." NOW I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BEING RUDE,

OBNOXIOUS, MEAN-SPIRITED. YOUR STANDARD, RIGHT, YOUR

MORAL STANDARD, YOUR STAND FOR GOD, HOW YOU WALK AS A

CHRISTIAN, HOW YOU ACT AS A CHRISTIAN, YOUR BELIEF

SYSTEM, ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD, IS GOING TO

BRING DIVISION. BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO LIKE

YOU OR AGREE WITH YOU IF YOU GO THE GOD FACTOR WAY.

THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, "NAY, I SAID TO YOU, "IF YOU

REALLY STAND FOR ME IN THIS DAY." LISTEN, I'VE HAD

PEOPLE SAY TO ME, "PASTOR, YOU'RE JUST TOO

NARROW-MINDED. I CAN'T GO TO YOUR CHURCH." I'M LIKE,

"REALLY? WELL, THERE'S THE DOOR THEN." BUT I'M SUPPOSED

TO BE NARROW-MINDED. JESUS TAUGHT A WHOLE PRINCIPLE IN

MATTHEW 7. NARROW IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO LIFE. WIDE IS

THE WAY THAT THINKS OPEN BORDERS AND GIVING PEOPLE

MORE RIGHTS WHO COME ILLEGALLY OVER YOUR BORDER

THAN YOUR OWN CITIZENS. THAT'S A WIDE ROAD. I'M

SUPPOSED TO BE NARROW-MINDED. 'CAUSE I'M ON

THE NARROW ROAD. WELL, I THINK, AND I'VE HAD THIS

SAID TO, PASTOR, I THINK THAT YOU ARE TOO RADICAL FOR

JESUS, ESPECIALLY IN TODAY'S CULTURE. SO WHAT YOU JUST

TOLD ME IS THAT YOU ARE PART OF THE FIRMAMENT OF HEAVEN

AND YOU ARE HIDING YOUR LIGHT. JESUS SAID, WAIT A

MINUTE, I'VE COME TO DIVIDE AND YOUR LIGHT OUGHT TO

DIVIDE. GET OUT AT THE, LIKE PASTOR BRENDA OFTEN SAYS,

WHEN SHE WOULD GO TO, WHEN SHE WAS AT WORK AND SHE

WORKED IN A BANK, SHE WOULD GO INTO THE BREAK ROOM AND

BRING HER BIBLE AND EVERYBODY WOULD CLEAR OUT

LIKE COCKROACHES. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

RIGHT, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY. PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW

THAT YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, THAT THEY THINK TWICE ABOUT

ASKING YOU TO GO OUT AND DANCE TO THE COUNTRY MUSIC

SONG AND DO THE LINE DANCE. NO, YOU SHOULD GO UP TO

CHURCH WHEN PASTOR BRENDA'S UP HERE DOING PRAISE AND

WORSHIP AND THEY DO THAT. HAS YOUR LIGHT AND YOUR LIFE

CREATED ENOUGH DIVISION WHERE PEOPLE SEPARATE

THEMSELVES, NOT WHERE THEY DON'T WANNA TALK TO YOU OR

YOU'RE MEAN-SPIRITED, BUT YOU HAVE SUCH A STANDARD.

THEY KNOW WHERE YOU STAND. YOU KNOW WHAT, I PUT DONALD

TRUMP HAIR THING WITH THE RED DOT IN MY YARD, AND I

HAD NEIGHBORS THAT TALKED TO ME PRE-TOMATO-HEAD DONALD

TRUMP SIGN. AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN MY YARD, THEY DON'T

TALK TO ME NO MORE, 'CAUSE THEY KNOW WHERE I STAND. WE

GOTTA BE THAT WAY ABOUT GOD. I AIN'T CHANGING. I'M A

LIGHT. I'M PART OF THE FIRMAMENT OF HEAVEN. AND I'M

NOT ASHAMED. AND I'M NOT GONNA BE TOLD THAT I'M A

BIGOT AND FULL OF HATE BECAUSE I SPEAK TRUTH IN

LOVE. THAT I SUPPORT GOD'S WAY OF DOING THINGS. ANYWAY,

OKAY, THIS IS ONLY MY FIRST POINT, OKAY. THE SECOND

DIVISION IS GOD IS DIVIDING HIMSELF FROM THE ENEMY. YOU

KNOW ONE THING THAT IF I WAS GOD, I DON'T KNOW HOW HE CAN

KEEP HIMSELF HAPPY. BUT YOU KNOW, A TORNADO OR A

HURRICANE HAPPENS, AND PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY SAY,

OH, THAT WAS AN ACT OF GOD. AND SOMEWHERE WE ALWAYS

FORGET, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS THINK THAT THERE'S SOME KIND

OF SPIRITUAL ENTITY WHEN IT COMES TO A DESTRUCTIVE ACT.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN GOD. GOD TOOK THAT PERSON OUT. BUT

BOY, NOBODY EVER SAYS THE DEVIL. THEY'RE HALF AFRAID

TO SAY THE COWARD'S NAME. NO, THE DEVIL DID IT. THE

DEVIL'S DOING THIS. SO GOD, IN THE SECOND DIVISION

THAT'S HAPPENING, THE FIRST ONE IS HE'S TRYING TO GET

HIS CHURCH TO BE THE LIGHT, RIGHT, THAT'S GONNA CREATE A

STANDARD. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE CAME TO THE MEMORIAL SERVICE

AT CHARLIE KIRK'S LAST SUNDAY. THEY'RE COMING TO

THE LIGHT, THEY'RE COMING TO THE STANDARD. THE SECOND ONE

IS GOD IS SEPARATING HIMSELF FROM THE DEVIL. WELL, I

DON'T BELIEVE THAT, NO. NO, GOD HAS NO FEELINGS FOR THE

DEVIL EXCEPT DISREGARD. JOHN CHAPTER 10, JESUS PUT A

John 10 · chapter mention

DIFFERENCE. HE SAID, "HEY, THE DEVIL IS THE THIEF, "AND

HE COMES TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY." NOW I'M GONNA SHOW

YOU THE DIVISION. "BUT I, YOUR LORD, HAS COME TO GIVE

YOU LIFE "AND LIFE ABUNDANTLY." SO JESUS AND

JOHN 10, 10, HE GAVE A DIVIDING LINE AND A DIVISION

BETWEEN HIM AND THE DEVIL. NOW LOOK AT EXODUS 8, LOOK

AT VERSE 18. "AND WHEN THE MAGICIANS DID SO WITH THEIR

ENCHANTMENTS "TO BRING FORTH LICE, THEY COULD NOT." NOW,

THIS IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES, I HEAR PEOPLE

ALWAYS TALK ABOUT WHAT THE DEVIL'S DOING. I EVEN HEAR

IT IN THE EARTH. WELL, YOU KNOW, THE DEVIL'S DOING THIS

AND THE DEVIL'S DOING THAT, OR THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE

THE DEVIL. OH, THIS IS HAPPENING, THIS IS

HAPPENING. AND THEY ALL THINK IT IS ESCHATOLOGY

RATHER THAN A DEVIL ON THE LOOSE, RIGHT? IT'S ALL END

TIME STUFF, YEAH, CALLED END TIME DEVIL. STIRRING UP

STUFF. AND I'VE HEARD PEOPLE LITERALLY THINK SOMEHOW THAT

GOD AND THE DEVIL ARE SOMEHOW EQUAL IN POWER. NO,

DON'T YOU EVER FORGET BIG GOD, LITTLE DEVIL. BIG GOD,

LITTLE DEVIL. GOD AND THE DEVIL ARE NOT EQUAL. AND

GOD'S GONNA SHOW YOU THAT. AND SO THE LORD ALLOWED THE

FIRST TWO PLAGUES OF EGYPT TO ALLOW THE DEVIL AND THE

MAGICIANS TO THINK THAT THEY WERE EQUAL WITH GOD, RIGHT?

BECAUSE LOOK HERE AT EXODUS 8 AGAIN, AND THE MAGICIANS

DID SO. NO, NO, IT LOOKS LIKE THE LIBERAL MEDIA'S ON

THE SAME LEVEL OF WHAT GOD'S DOING. IT LOOKS LIKE ALL OF

THESE PEOPLE THAT MADE UP RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA,

RIGHT? FAKE DOXIE, EH? I TRIED TO TELL YOU THAT THAT

DUDE WON IN 2020. THE GUY WHO LISTENS MORE INTENTLY

WITH HIS EYES THAN ANYBODY. YEAH, MM-HMM, RIGHT. BUT

THEY COULD NOT, THEY COULD NOT. THERE CAME A SHIFT.

IT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING TODAY, WHERE WE'RE SEEING

ALL KINDS OF ABSOLUTE CALLING OUT AND EXPOSING OF

THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SHOVED AT PEOPLE'S FACE.

LIES AFTER LIES, CENSORSHIP AFTER CENSORSHIP. GOD ON

PURPOSE IS BRINGING A DIVISION AND SAYING, "LOOK,

I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE. "I WANNA SHOW

YOU A DIVIDING LINE. I WANNA SHOW YOU WHAT THE DEVIL DID

AND HAD A CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHT TO DO BECAUSE THE

CHURCH WAS DIVIDED AND ASLEEP. NOW I'M SHOWING YOU

WHAT I'M DOING. I AM A GOD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE

AND I'M DRAWING A DIVIDING LINE." NOW NOTICE WHAT

HAPPENS, EXODUS 8, VERSE 23. "I WILL PUT A DIVISION

Exodus 8:23

BETWEEN MY PEOPLE AND THY PEOPLE. TOMORROW THIS WILL

BE A SIGN." NOW GO BACK UP TO VERSE 18. IT SAYS, "THE

MAGICIANS DID SO WITH THEIR ENCHANTMENTS "TO BRING FORTH

LICE, BUT THEY COULD NOT. "SO THERE WERE LICE UPON MAN

AND UPON BEASTS. "THEN THE MAGICIAN SAID UNTO PHARAOH,

"WE CAN'T TOUCH THIS. "THIS HAS BECOME THE FINGER OF

GOD." AND I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, PART OF THIS

DIVIDING LINE, HOW MANY REMEMBER WHEN JESUS DREW A

LINE IN THE SAND? REMEMBER THE WOMAN THAT WAS CAUGHT IN

THE MIDST OF ADULTERY AND THEY BROUGHT HER TO JESUS,

CAUGHT IN THE VERY ACT. AND JESUS DOESN'T EVEN SAY A

WORD. HE JUST KNEELS DOWN AND HE WRITES IN THE SAND.

AND EVERYONE DROPPED THEIR STONE AND SAID, SEE YOU

DUDE. 'CAUSE GOD DIVIDES. HE ESTABLISHES A STANDARD. AND

THEN HE LOOKED AT THE WOMAN, HE SAID, NOW I'M GONNA TELL

YOU SOMETHING, DON'T YOU DO THIS AGAIN. SIN NO MORE. BUT

HE WAS THE ONE IN THE SAND. PEOPLE SAY, WELL, WHAT WAS

HE WRITING IN THE SAND? I THINK HE WAS ESTABLISHING A

STANDARD. HE WAS BRINGING A DIVIDE. ARE YOU ON THE

LORD'S SIDE? AND THIS IS WHAT I EXPECT. IT'S EASY FOR

YOU TO CALL OUT OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I'M POINTING MY

FINGER AT YOU NOW. AND SO WE DON'T WANNA BE ON THE SIDE

OF GOD RIGHT NOW IN THIS TIME WHERE WE AREN'T DOING

WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, RIGHT? NUMBER THREE,

WHAT'S THE OTHER DIVISION? GOD IS DIVIDING. ARE YOU

BENDING TOWARDS EVIL, TOWARDS WRONG, OR DO YOU

HAVE A BACKBONE? LOOK AT ACTS 2, VERSE 40, I SHARED

Acts 2:40

THIS AT OTH. IT SAYS, "SAVE YOURSELF FROM THIS UNTOWARD

GENERATION." NOW THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE, IN THE

GREEK, IT'S WHERE YOU GET THE WORD SCOLIOSIS, RIGHT?

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, IT'S LIKE

CURVATURE OF THE SPINE. AND THERE'S A DIVIDING GOING ON

IN 57, 86, 20, 26, WHERE GOD IS SAYING, "LISTEN, I AM

DIVIDING, "AND I AM LOOKING, WHAT ARE YOU BENDING

TOWARDS? "ARE YOU BENDING TOWARDS COMPROMISE? "ARE YOU

BENDING TOWARDS JUST CAVING IN AND GIVING IN?" I MEAN,

THERE WAS A DAY THAT YOU WOULD SPEAK BOLDLY AND SAY,

"NO, THE TRUE EXAMPLE OF MARRIAGE "IS ACCORDING TO

WHAT GOD SAID AND WHAT JESUS QUOTED, "AND THAT IS BETWEEN

ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN." THAT IS TRUE MARRIAGE, ACCORDING

TO GOD. OR DO WE JUST BEND? WELL, I SUPPOSE IF, YOU

KNOW, TWO PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW, RIGHT, AND

IF HE LOVES HIS DOG, MARRY HIS DOG AND, YOU KNOW, IF HE

LIKES HIS CAT TOO, THEN WE CAN MARRY BOTH THE DOG AND

THE CAT WITH HIM AND THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN HAVE A

MARRIAGE. RIGHT? WE'RE JUST GONNA GO ALONG WITH THINGS?

ARE YOU BENDING AND BECOMING TWISTED AND PERVERSE? ONE OF

THE TRANSLATIONS THERE IN THE UNTOLD WORD IS CROOKED,

PERVERSE. ARE WE BENDING? I MEAN, I KNOW PEOPLE TODAY

THAT ARE SO AFRAID TO MAKE SOMEBODY DISAGREE WITH THEM.

NOW, I'M NOT SAYING BE RUDE ABOUT IT, BUT I KNOW PEOPLE

THAT WON'T EVEN BRING UP SUBJECTS. I MEAN, I MEET

PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, AND THEY SAY, "SO, HEY, I'VE

SEEN YOU ON TV." OKAY, THAT'S GREAT, AND SHAKE

THEIR HAND. AH, AND THEN THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME THEIR

APOLOGETIC. ONE THING I ALWAYS MAKE MY RULE, I DON'T

TALK ABOUT RELIGION OR POLITICS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT

I SAY TO THEM ANYMORE? I SAY, "WELL, YOU'RE THE

PROBLEM "AND WHY WE HAD PROBLEMS IN AMERICA. "THANK

YOU FOR YOUR TIME." AND THEN THEY'RE LIKE, "OH, BUT, BUT,

BUT, BUT, BUT, "OH, OH, OH, OH, OH, OH." I DON'T CARE

ANYMORE. DON'T COME TO ME AND SAY NONSENSE STUFF LIKE

THAT. I'M NICE, BUT I'M TRUTHFUL. AND I SPEAK THE

TRUTH IN LOVE. RIGHT? I DON'T COWER. SO ARE YOU

BENDING OR ARE YOU STANDING? HERE'S THE FOURTH ONE. HOW

ARE YOU LIVING? THE FOURTH ONE IS JESUS BETWEEN TWO

THIEVES. ONE OF THEM WAS SO BENT ON THEIR LIFE THAT THEY

SAT THERE, THE ROBBER, AND CRITICIZED AND RAILED ON

JESUS. RATHER THAN YOU WOULD THINK AFTER ALL THAT HE DID,

'CAUSE HISTORY WILL TELL YOU THAT OTHER ROBBER, BOTH

ROBBERS, MAN, THEY WERE REALLY BAD, INCLUDING

BARABBAS. THESE GUYS HAD DONE A LOT OF WRONG. YOU

WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IN HIS MOMENT OF HIS LAST BREATH OR

BREATHS THAT HE WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN SMART. BUT

THAT GUY'S IN HELL. BECAUSE HE'S LIVING HIS LIFE, STILL

TRYING TO SUPPORT HIS WAY OF LIVING. AND QUESTIONING

EVERYTHING ELSE. THAT'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE, LIKE THE

OBVIOUS IS STARING HIM IN THE FACE, RIGHT? AND WHAT DO

THEY CHOOSE TO DO? STILL BE BENT ON EVIL, BENT ON

COMPROMISE. BUT THE ONE GUY SAID, "NO, I WANNA LIVE FOR

YOU, JESUS. "REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME INTO

PARADISE." AND HERE'S WHAT I WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU. IF

WE'VE LEARNED ANYTHING, WE'VE LEARNED THAT WE ARE IN

A VERY EVIL DAY. WE'RE IN A DAY WHERE IT'S TIME FOR TRUE

CHRISTIANS TO BE JUST THAT. IT'S TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO

REALLY LIVE IT. YOU GOTTA MAKE IT AS, WHAT IS MY

CHRISTIANITY? WHAT IS THE MEASURE OF MY CHRISTIANITY?

AM I REALLY A STRONG, CONSISTENT, ON FIRE,

PASSIONATE? AND YEAH, RADICAL CHRISTIAN. OKAY,

SOME PEOPLE COULD LOOK AT ME IN MY FOOTBALL HOBBY AND

SAY, WELL, YOU'RE A RADICAL FOOTBALL GUY. YEAH, I AM,

BUT I'M MORE RADICAL FOR GOD. WOW, YOU'RE A RADICAL

TRAIN HOBBYIST. YES, I AM. I'M VERY COMMITTED. I'VE

BEEN DOING IT FOR 40 YEARS, AND I'M VERY PASSIONATE

ABOUT IT, BUT I'M MORE COMMITTED ABOUT GOD. BUT

THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHERE IT'S LIKE, ARE YOU REALLY

THAT RADICAL? RADICAL CHRISTIANITY IS YOU ARE BOLD

ABOUT YOUR FAITH. YOU'RE NOT ASHAMED ABOUT YOUR FAITH.

YOU'RE BOLD ABOUT COMING TO CHURCH OR EVEN ONLINE, YOU

KNOW, MAKING GOD A PRIORITY, COMING TOGETHER AS THE BODY

OF CHRIST A PRIORITY. YOU READ YOUR BIBLE, YOU PRAY,

YOU TRY VERY HARD TO HAVE YOUR LIFE SHAPED ACCORDING

TO WHAT IS CALLED THE FRUIT OF GOD'S SPIRIT. LOVE, JOY,

PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, MERCY, GENTLENESS,

SELF-CONTROL. A TRUE RADICAL CHRISTIAN IS ONE WHO SAYS,

YOU KNOW WHAT, I WANT TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. I MAY NOT BE

PERFECT, BUT I'M GONNA STRIVE EVERY DAY TO DO WHAT

IS RIGHTEOUS AND HONORABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. AND HOW

ABOUT THIS, IN MY OWN SIGHT AND THE SIGHT OF OTHERS.

THAT'S WHAT IT REALLY MEANS. SO YOU GOTTA MAKE A DECISION

WITH THESE DIVISIONS. NOW I WANNA SHOW YOU SOMETHING. I

WANT YOU TO GO TO MATTHEW 22, AND I WANT YOU TO SEE,

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK AS I JUST WANNA SHARE

JUST A COUPLE THINGS. AND I NOTICED WHEN I WAS LOOKING

AT THIS AND THEN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THAT THERE

WERE TWO WORDS THAT STUCK OUT TO ME THAT I FEEL LIKE

ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT IF WE'RE GONNA SHIFT AND WE'RE

GONNA CHANGE TOWARDS WHAT GOD IS DOING. HE'S DRAWING A

LINE IN THE SAND, AND HE'S SAYING, "WHO IS ON MY SIDE?"

AND WE HAVE A CHOICE TODAY. WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN ARE

WE GONNA BE? WHAT KIND OF BELIEVER ARE WE GONNA BE?

HOW ARE WE GONNA LIVE IN THE MIDST OF A CROOKED,

PERVERSE, AND DARK GENERATION? WE'RE GONNA

BLEND IN? ARE WE GONNA STEP OVER THE LINE AND GET OVER

ON THE LINE OF COMPROMISE? OR ARE WE GONNA STAY STRONG

IN OUR STANDARDS, IN OUR FAITH, IN OUR BOLDNESS,

RIGHT? IN OUR STANCE, IN OUR STANDARDS, IN OUR SPEECH, IN

OUR CONDUCT. LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 22. I WANNA SEE IF

Matthew 22 · chapter mention

YOU SEE IT. THEN ONE OF THEM, WHICH WAS A LAWYER,

ASKED HIM A QUESTION, TEMPTING HIM, SAYING, NOTICE

HE WAS TEMPTING HIM, TRYING TO TRAP HIM. MASTER, WHAT IS

THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? AND JESUS DIDN'T

EVEN HESITATE. HE SAID, THOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD

WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR

MIND. AND THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREATEST COMMANDMENT.

NOW WATCH THE SECOND ONE, SEE IF YOU SEE IT. AND THE

SECOND IS LIKE, "THOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS OR

SOMEBODY ELSE "AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF." MAN, IF PEOPLE

WOULD TAKE CARE OF OTHERS AS THEY DO THEMSELVES, WE'D

HAVE A WHOLE BETTER WORLD, WOULDN'T WE? AND ON THESE

TWO COMMANDMENTS, HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.

NOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS HE WAS

DIVIDING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN TWO PARTS. 'CAUSE IF YOU,

WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, IF THEY'LL PUT

THE GRAPHIC OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS UP FROM LAST

WEEK, I WANNA SHOW YOU. THESE ARE THE 10

COMMANDMENTS. NOW, THESE CAN BE DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS, HOW

YOU TREAT GOD AND HOW YOU TREAT YOUR FELLOW MAN. AND

THAT'S WHY JESUS, HE WASN'T GIVING IN TO THE TEMPTATION,

THE ENTRAPMENT OF THAT LAWYER. HE WAS BASICALLY

SAYING, LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE. SO NOTICE THIS NEXT

ONE. WHAT IS THE OTHER WORD OR CONCEPT THAT WE GET OUT

OF THE COMMANDMENTS? AND I THINK IT'S WHAT IS MISSING,

IS SOCIETY'S MISSING ELEMENTS. THERE'S TWO OF

THEM. YOU'RE GONNA SEE IT. NUMBER ONE, THOU SHALL HAVE

NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. NUMBER TWO, YOU SHALL NOT

MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE OR IDOLS. THOU SHALL NOT TAKE

THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN. REMEMBER THE

SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. NUMBER FIVE, HONOR THY

FATHER AND MOTHER. THOU SHALL NOT KILL, THOU SHALL

NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. THOU SHALL NOT STEAL, AND THOU

SHALL NOT MAKE UP THINGS AND BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST

THY NEIGHBOR. AND THOU SHALL NOT COVET. NOW, NOTICE THE

TWO COMMANDMENTS. THE FIRST ONE WAS, REMEMBER WHAT JESUS

SAID? THOU ART TO WHAT? WHAT WAS THE WORD THAT HE SAID?

THOU ART TO WHAT? - LOVE.

- LOVE. NOTICE YOU CANNOT LOVE GOD, YOU HAVE TO HAVE

LOVE. YOU CANNOT JUST APPROACH GOD WITH YOUR

HEART, SOUL, MIND. NO, THERE HAS TO BE THE LOVE

CONNECTION. YOU CAN'T JUST BE ABOUT YOUR FELLOW MAN IF

THERE ISN'T THE LOVE CONNECTION. NOW LOVE IS NOT

AGREEING WITH PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. LOVE IS NOT BEING

NICE. NICE IS CONFORMITY, RIGHT? LOVE IS HAVING A

STANDARD. LOVE IS BEING TRUTHFUL, RIGHT? OKAY, IF I

SAY TO SOMEBODY IN SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, HEY, THAT'S NOT

ACCORDING TO GOD'S STANDARD. GOD SAID MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN

ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN. IF GOD SAID THAT THERE ARE ONLY

TWO GENDERS, HE CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE, RIGHT?

THERE WAS NO CONFUSION WITH NOAH AND THE ARK. HE DIDN'T

QUIZ HIM AND SAY, "NOW, WHICH ONE ARE YOU?" OKAY,

THAT'S NOT HATE WHEN YOU SAY, "NO, I'M STANDING ON

THE SIDE OF WHAT GOD SAID." I DON'T HATE YOU, IN FACT, I

CAN HELP YOU, I CAN TALK WITH YOU, I CAN SHOW YOU

SOME EXAMPLES IN SCRIPTURE, I CAN LOVE YOUR WAY TO

REALLY COMING TO KNOW GOD IN A DEEPER LEVEL. BUT THAT'S

LOVE, BEING ABLE TO SPEAK TRUTHFUL AND HONEST. BUT

NOTICE THE SECOND PRINCIPLE, PUT THE 10 COMMANDMENTS UP.

THESE ARE THE TWO SOCIETY'S MISSING ELEMENTS. NUMBER ONE

IS LOVE. I JUST AM NOW STARTING TO SEE A RESURGENT

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AGAIN. HOW MANY OF YOU COULD

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT? I AM, I'M SEEING PEOPLE REALLY WANTING

TO KNOW GOD. BUT SECOND IS HONOR. NOTICE HOW ALL THIS

HAS TO DO WITH HONOR. IF YOU HONOR GOD, YOU WON'T HAVE

ANY OTHER GODS. IF YOU HONOR GOD, YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE

HIS NAME IN VAIN. IF YOU HONOR GOD, YOU'RE GONNA GO

TO CHURCH OR SET A DAY APART. IF YOU HONOR YOUR

MOTHER AND FATHER, YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO WHAT THEY

SAY AND NOT ARGUE WITH THEM. IF YOU HONOR SOMEBODY, YOU

WON'T KILL 'EM, LIKE WE SAW WITH CHARLIE KIRK. THERE WAS

NO HONOR THERE. NOW, THAT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE OF

YOU GREAT VETERANS AND OUR SOLDIERS WHO SIGN UP, RIGHT,

TO DEFEND YOUR COUNTRY, RIGHT, AND ITS CITIZENS.

THAT'S DIFFERENT. THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. IF YOU

LOVE YOUR WIFE AND HONOR HER, OR HONOR YOUR HUSBAND

OR YOUR SPOUSE, YOUR HUSBAND, RIGHT, YOU'RE NOT

GONNA COMMIT ADULTERY ON HIM. YOU'RE NOT GONNA STEAL.

IF YOU HAVE LOVE AND HONOR, YOU'RE NOT GONNA TALK

AGAINST PEOPLE. AND IF YOU REALLY LOVE AND HONOR,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA COVET WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAS. SO THE

TWO WORDS THAT ARE MISSING IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY IS LOVE

AND HONOR. AND IT REALLY ISN'T THAT HARD. NOW, LET'S

TALK ABOUT HONOR. WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THESE TWO

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO

BRENDA TO PREACH FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. WOULDN'T YOU

LIKE TO HEAR HER PREACH? YEAH, SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE,

"MAN, I'D RATHER HAVE HER." THAT'S OKAY, SHE'S COMING.

NOW, WATCH THIS, THOUGH. I WANNA TALK ABOUT HONOR.

HONOR IS A CODE OF CONDUCT. HONOR IS LITERALLY ABOUT

MORAL RIGHTNESS. IT'S ABOUT TO RESPECT, DOING WHAT'S

RIGHT. IT'S ABOUT RESPECT, IT'S ABOUT HONESTY, RIGHT?

IT'S TO TREAT OTHERS WITH DIGNITY. IT'S THE HIGHEST

ETHICAL CONDUCT THERE IS. YOU KNOW, AND I'VE PREACHED

ON HONOR BEFORE, AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WORTH

SAYING AGAIN. DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE

WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY, YOU REMEMBER THAT BIG FAT BOOK?

I DON'T KNOW HOW FAT IT IS ONLINE NOW. BUT FROM 1850,

WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, TO THE YEAR 2000, THE

DEFINITION OF HONOR WAS LIKE THIS. BUT NOWADAYS, YOU LOOK

UP THE DEFINITION OF HONOR, AND IT'S LIKE BARELY A

SENTENCE. BECAUSE NOT ONLY HAS THE DEFINITION OF HONOR

DWINDLED, BUT SO HAS THE PRINCIPLE AND THE SPIRIT OF

IT. WHEN I GREW UP, I'M TELLING YOU, IF I WAS

SITTING IN A CHURCH SERVICE, AND I DIDN'T LIKE THE

PREACHER, MOM, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO GET UP

AND WALK OUT. I HAVE PEOPLE DO THAT EVERY SERVICE,

INCLUDING THIS ONE TODAY. 'CAUSE WE'VE BECOME SUCH AN

HONOR, OH, I DON'T AGREE. THAT'S WHY A MAN GOT

ASSASSINATED. 'CAUSE WE CAN'T JUST LISTEN TO WHAT

PEOPLE ARE SAYING IN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE AND TRUTH. WE

HAVE TO SHOW OUR DISAGREEMENT. WE CAN'T JUST

GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND SAY, HEY, I'M NOT ABLE TO HEAR

THE SERVICE. IT'S TURN IT UP! OR PEOPLE COMING AND

BLAMING ME FOR YOUTUBE VIDEOS OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE

ARE PIRATING OUR STUFF. LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO

DO SOMETHING. I MEAN, PEOPLE ARE SO MEAN-SPIRITED.

ARGUING, FIGHTING. I MEAN, IT'S HARD. IF THEY DON'T

LIKE THE SERVICE, WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY HAVE TO PUT

THEIR SERMON OVER MY SERMON ONLINE. IT'S NO DIFFERENT

THAN WHEN I USED TO GREET PEOPLE AT THE DOOR, USED TO.

BECAUSE I WOULD JUST GET DONE WITH PREACHING AND

THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD. YOU

KNOW, PASTOR, I HEARD YOUR SERMON, I AGREED WITH

(MUMBLES) I AGREED WITH SOME OF IT, BUT I'M GONNA TELL

YOU, THIS IS THE PARTS I DIDN'T AGREE WITH. AND

THEY'D HAVE THEIR TABLET. AND I'D LOOK AT 'EM AND SAY,

WELL, I DON'T CARE. I PREACHED IT. GO HOME AND

STUDY IT. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) IT'S LIKE, CAN

WE JUST EVER SHUT UP? I MEAN, WE WOULD NEVER BE

ALLOWED TO GET UP AND WALK OUT. WE WOULD HAVE TO SIT

THERE AND SWEAT AND GET MAD AND DISAGREE UNTIL THE

SERVICE WAS OVER. MY MOM AND DAD, THEY DIDN'T LET ME

ARGUE BACK. I HAD TO SIT THERE AND I HAD TO SHUT UP

WHILE THEY TALKED TO ME AND TOLD ME THE WHAT FOR. I

WASN'T ALLOWED TO JUSTIFY IT. I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GIVE

AN EXCUSE. THEY WOULD SPEAK AND THEN THEY WOULD ASK ME

TO GIVE MY ACCOUNT. IT'S WHY IT TURNED OUT THE WAY I DID.

INDIGNANT AND ORNERY AS EVER, BUT I HAVE A MORAL

STANDARD IN MY LIFE. WE DIDN'T GO AROUND CALLING

PEOPLE BY THEIR FIRST NAMES IF THEY WERE ADULTS. WE

DIDN'T DISRESPECT LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CALL THEM,

YOU KNOW, DEFUNDING. (CONGREGATION MURMURS) NO.

WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PREQUALIFY THAT. LAW

ENFORCEMENT'S GOOD FOR SOCIETY. RIGHT? WE DIDN'T

CALL PEOPLE THE N WORD, THE H WORD. RIGHT? WE DIDN'T SIT

THERE AND GET OVER INTO, YOU KNOW, RACIAL VICTIMHOOD. I

REMEMBER ONE OF MY GREAT FRIENDS AT MY PARENTS'

SERVICE STATION WAS A MAN NAMED LARRY. AND LARRY WOULD

COME IN WITH HIS JERRY CURL AND HIS CAP, AND HE SMELLED

LIKE WHATEVER THAT CHEMICAL WAS ON HIS HEAD. AND HE'D

PULL UP, AND HE HAD HIS BIG, HUGE CADILLAC. AND HE WOULD

LET ME GET UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF HIS CAR, AND TRUST

ME, AND I WAS NOT IN HIS MIND A WHITE SUPREMACIST.

AND IN MY MIND, HE WASN'T AN N. HE WAS A HUMAN BEING, AND

HE WAS MY FRIEND. AND I KNEW THAT MOST OF THE GAS GOING

IN HIS BIG GUZZLER, CADILLAC, HE COULD NOT

AFFORD IT. HE WORKED AT A BUTCHER SHOP. HE WORKED

HARD, AND MY DAD LOVED THAT GUY, AND WOULD LITERALLY LET

HIM CHARGE HIS GAS AND MAKE PAYMENTS TO HIM. AND WHEN

HIS CAR BROKE DOWN, MY DAD DIDN'T, WHAT COLOR SKIN HE

HAD, HE TOLD HIM, "PULL YOUR CAR IN, I'LL TAKE CARE OF

YOU, LARRY." AND I REMEMBER THE ONE DAY WHERE MY HONOR

WAS TESTED. LARRY PULLS UP, CAN I IMITATE HIS VOICE?

"PASTOR HANK, I GOTS ME A GIRL TONIGHT, SO I'M GONNA

PULL UP TO THE FULL SERVICE ISLAND, AND YOU ARE GONNA

GIVE ME FULL SERVICE, ALL RIGHT, MAN?" I SAID, "OKAY,

LARRY." SO I GO OUT THERE, AND LARRY WOULD ONLY USUALLY

GET $4, 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL HE COULD AFFORD, A FIVE, RIGHT?

HE PULLS UP, AND HE WINKS AT ME. HE SAID, "FILL IT UP

WITH THE USUAL." I'M THINKING, "IS THAT FOUR

BUCKS OR FIVE BUCKS?" (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) SO I

FILLED HIS CAR UP ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. HE'S LOOKING

OVER AND HE'S LIKE, HE'S LIKE, "HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY,

HEY, HEY, HEY." 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, IT WAS LIKE 20 BUCKS.

"HEY, HEY." I SAID, "YEAH, I GAVE YOU THE USUAL, LARRY.

"YOU COULD JUST SEE, I NEVER SAW A BLACK MAN TURN WHITE."

I MEAN, HE WAS LIKE, "HOW IN THE WORLD "AM I GONNA PAY

FOR 20 BUCKS?" BUT I DID IT 'CAUSE I KNEW HE HAD A GIRL.

AND THEN HE GOES, "AND CHECK MY TIRES. "AND DO THAT

MECHANICAL STUFF UNDERNEATH MY HOOD." NOW, HE WAS TRYING

TO IMPRESS HIS GIRL. AND I STARTED GETTING A LITTLE

FRUSTRATED 'CAUSE THEN HE WAS ASKING ME TO SCRUB HIS

WHITE WALLS. THEN HE TOLD ME HE HEARD A RATTLE UNDERNEATH

THE THING AND COULD I CHECK IT OUT FOR HIS DATE? RIGHT

WHEN HIS DATE, AND I'M STARTING TO GO, OKAY LARRY,

I JUST GAVE YOU 15 BUCKS AND YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY MAKING ME

CRAWL UNDERNEATH YOUR CAR. AND THEN IT DAWNED ON ME,

WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE, THIS

IS MY FRIEND. AND SO I DID EVERYTHING, HE COMES BACK IN

AND A COUPLE DAYS LATER HE PULLS UP, (MIMICS CAR ENGINE)

HE GOES, MAN, THANK YOU HANK FOR COVERING FOR

ME, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THAT 15 BUCKS. I SAID, I GOT YOU,

IT'S ALL GOOD. I SAID, BUT DON'T YOU EVER PULL UP TO

THE FULL SERVE AISLE AND MAKE ME DO ALL THAT STUFF

AGAIN. BUT THAT WAS JUST HONOR. HE HONORED ME AND I

HONORED HIM. AND LIFE WAS A LOT HAPPIER. I DIDN'T GET

MAD AT HIM. HE DIDN'T GET MAD AT ME, RIGHT? WE LIVE IN

SUCH A SOCIETY WHERE PEOPLE CAN'T SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE.

THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG. IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST GET BACK

TO WHAT LOVE IS, WHAT HONOR IS, I THINK THE WORLD WOULD

BE A WHOLE LOT HAPPIER. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA

BE DONE HERE IN JUST A SECOND. I WANTED TO PREACH

YOU SOMETHING, BUT MAYBE I'LL LEAVE THAT PART OUT

UNTIL NEXT WEEK. BUT LET ME SHOW YOU, WHERE DOES THE

PROBLEM WITH HONOR COME FROM? WHY IS THERE SUCH A

DISHONORABLE SOCIETY? LOOK AT ISAIAH 14:13. NOW,

Isaiah 14:13

HOW MANY OF YOU, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, AS

PASTOR DOUG COMES, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT FOR

A MOMENT, WHAT REALLY CAUSED SATAN TO GET KICKED OUT OF

HEAVEN? (CONGREGATION MURMURS) IT'S DISHONOR. THE

BIBLE SAYS INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN HIM. NOW SOME

PEOPLE SAY, WELL, THAT WAS PRIDE. YEAH, HE HAD PRIDE,

THAT WAS THE FRUIT OF IT, RIGHT? HE HAD SELFISH

AMBITION, THAT WAS THE FRUIT OF IT. HE HAD, GOLLY, A LOT

OF THINGS. JEALOUSY, THAT'S GOOD. COVETOUSNESS, BUT WHAT

WAS THE FRUIT OF WHAT CAUSED HIS ACTIONS? IT WAS

DISHONOR. WHEN THEY WERE THROWING ROCKS THROUGH

PEOPLE'S BUSINESSES, THAT'S CALLED DISHONOR. STEALING AN

ELECTION IS CALLED DISHONOR. AND THEN CALLING OUT PEOPLE

WHO HAVE A BRAIN COULD SEE LIKE A LOTTERY MACHINE, THE

NUMBERS CHANGING 300,000 IN 20 SECONDS. WHAT WE'VE SEEN

IN OUR COUNTRY OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS IS A LACK OF LOVE

AND A LACK OF HONOR. AND I'M NOT CALLING OUT THE MEDIA

AND THE HEATHEN, I'M CALLING OUT US, THE CHURCH. I'VE

NEVER SEEN SO MUCH FIGHTING OVER PEOPLE, WITH PEOPLE.

CHRISTIANS, JESUS SAID, "MAN, HERE'S HOW THE WORLD

"WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, "IF YOU LOVE ONE

ANOTHER." AND I THINK US CHRISTIANS, SOME OF US HAVE

BEEN SOME OF THE WORST EXAMPLES EVER. HONOR,

WHERE'S HONOR ANYMORE? WHERE'S DOING WHAT'S RIGHT?

WHERE'S HAVING THE HIGHEST CODE OF CONDUCT? YOU KNOW,

AS I WAS PREPARING THIS MESSAGE, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T

SAY THIS, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A CONVERSATION I

HAD WITH SOMEBODY A WHILE BACK THAT I PROBABLY COULD

HAVE SAID, IT WASN'T WHAT I SAID, BUT IT WAS HOW I SAID

THINGS THAT IT BUGS ME BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT, I

WANNA GO AND I WANNA MAKE IT RIGHT. BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE

HONOR'S IN MY HEART AND I DON'T WANT THAT PERSON TO

THINK THAT I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

I GOT SOMETHING IN MY CRAWL. I WANNA REPRESENT MYSELF AS

AN HONORABLE MAN, AS AN HONORABLE PREACHER, AS AN

HONORABLE PERSON. AND I'VE BEEN ASKING GOD TO SEARCH MY

HEART AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, THAT JUST KEEPS

COMING UP WHEN I'M PRAYING. YOU NEED TO MAKE THAT RIGHT.

YOU NEED TO MAKE THAT RIGHT. NOW, THEY MAY NOT THINK THAT

I FELT THAT WAY, BUT I DID. AND I DO, AND I WISH I COULD

GO BACK, AND I'M GONNA DO IT. I'M GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT,

IN THE RIGHT TIMING AS I KEEP PRAYING ABOUT IT. BUT

THINK ABOUT IT IN YOUR LIFE, IN YOUR HEART FOR A MOMENT.

COME ON, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK THAT, YOU

KNOW WHAT, I GOTTA MAINTAIN HONOR HERE. MAYBE YOU'RE A

PERSON THAT SHOWS UP LATE, EVERY SINGLE DAY OR ONCE A

WEEK TO YOUR JOB. WHY NOT DO THE HONORABLE THING? MAKE IT

RIGHT, SHOW UP WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO, SHOW UP EARLY.

RATHER THAN AVOID THE BILL COLLECTORS, WHY DON'T YOU DO

THE HONORABLE THING AND CALL 'EM? I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS,

BEFORE I MARRIED BRENDA, I MADE 50 BUCKS A WEEK AS AN

INTERN. AND I HAD GOTTEN, I HAD A CAR PAYMENT AT THAT

TIME. I THINK THE CAR PAYMENT WAS LIKE 100 BUCKS A

MONTH FOR A BIG OLD BOAT. AND I GOT BEHIND ON ONE

PAYMENT. AND IN THOSE DAYS, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CELL

PHONE. SO THEY CALLED MY HOME LINE AND I JUST

HAPPENED TO ANSWER IT. AND IT WAS THEM, THEY SAID,

"HEY, YOU HAVE A FEW DAYS LATE ON YOUR PAYMENT." I

SAID, "MAN, I AM SO SORRY." AND THEN I SAID, "YOU KNOW

WHAT? "I ACTUALLY GOTTA BE HONEST WITH YOU. "I WAS

TRYING TO AVOID YOU." HE SAID, "WHY?" I SAID, "'CAUSE

I CAN'T AFFORD THOSE PAYMENTS." "WELL, WHY DON'T

YOU COME DOWN TO MY OFFICE "AND LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN

DO TO FIX THAT." AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID? THEY

FIXED IT AND LOWERED MY RATE BECAUSE I HONORED. COME ON,

SOME OF YOU KIDS, THE BIBLE SAYS, "IT'LL BE WELL WITH

YOU." DO YOU WANT A GOOD FUTURE? HOW MANY KIDS ARE

UNDER THE AGE OF 25? RAISE YOUR HAND. YOU WANT IT TO BE

GOOD WITH YOU? THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'RE TO HONOR YOUR

MOM AND DAD SO THAT IT'LL BE WELL WITH YOU AND THAT IT'LL

EVEN BE ATTACHED TO HOW LONG YOU LIVE. IT SAID THAT YOU

MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH RATHER THAN JUST GET MAD AT

MOM AND DAD WHEN THEY TRY TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, CLEAN

YOUR ROOM, PICK UP YOUR CLOTHES RIGHT, TREAT YOUR

CAR RIGHT, TALK TO THEM RESPECTFUL, AND BY THE WAY,

THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT. IT DOESN'T SAY CHILDREN OBEY

YOUR PARENTS EXCEPT AFTER YOU TURN 35. AND I COULD DO

BETTER WITH MY MOM. I THINK WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO A

HIGH ETHICAL CODE OF CONDUCT CALLED HONOR. TELLING THE

TRUTH, BEING TRUTHFUL, BEING STATESPEOPLE. YOU KNOW HOW

MANY TIMES I REALLY WANNA SAY THINGS ON FLASHPOINT?

BUT YOU DO. NOT LIKE I REALLY WANNA SOMETIMES SAY

IT. BECAUSE I REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT MY SHOW. I HAVE TO

HONOR WHOEVER'S SHOW IT IS. AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME,

EVEN THOUGH I SAY, AND I KNOW MEDIA, I CALL YOU OUT,

AND I CALL DIFFERENT ONES OUT. BUT I ALWAYS WANNA BE A

STATESMAN. I WANNA BE TRUTHFUL, I WANNA BE HONEST,

I WANNA BE HONORABLE. AND I WANNA BE BOLD. BUT DO IT

WITH THE SPIRIT OF HONOR. YOU KNOW WHAT MADE ME SO MAD

IN MY COUNTRY IS I GREW UP IN A MILITARY FAMILY. AND I

USED TO SIT AND TALK WITH SOLDIERS THAT LOST LOVED

ONES IN WORLD WAR I, WORLD WAR II, VIETNAM, DESERT

STORM. WHEN I SAW THEM BURNING DOWN OUR FLAGS AND

TRAMPLING ON THEM, AND RAISING UP PALESTINIAN FLAGS

AND PRIDE FLAKES, AND I SAT THERE AND WATCHED CHRISTIANS

LITERALLY BE SILENT. I'M LIKE, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

HONOR. AND I APPRECIATE, CAN I BE HONEST WITH YOU AS AN

AMERICAN? I APPRECIATE THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM,

THE SPANISH NATIONAL ANTHEM, THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM,

BUT I'M SORRY, THERE AIN'T THE TIME FOR IT. WE NEED TO

UNITE IN AMERICA OVER OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM THAT UNITES

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, NO MATTER THE COLOR OF OUR

SKIN. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) AND QUIT ALLOWING

SEGREGATION AND DIVISION THAT IS CREATED NOT BY GOD,

BUT BY PEOPLE WHO GET OUT OF LOVE AND GET INTO DISHONOR.

AND I THINK WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THIS SHIFT CHANGE

AND TURNING POINT IS I THINK HE'S BRINGING US BACK TO A

PLACE OF HONOR AGAIN. HONORING GOD, BUT HONORING

EACH OTHER. WHAT WE SAW HAPPEN ON SEPTEMBER 10TH WAS

AN ACT OF DISHONOR. LOOK AT ISAIAH 14. FOR THOU HAS SAID

IN THY HEART, THIS IS LUCIFER, I WILL ASCEND INTO

HEAVEN, I'LL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD. HIS,

THE FIRST SIN THAT EVER HAPPENED WAS OVER DISHONOR.

AND DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE DEVIL TODAY, THAT SAME

SPIRIT OF DISHONOR, LUCIFERIAN SPIRIT IS GETTING

INVOLVED IN OUR COUNTRY, IT'S GETTING INVOLVED IN

PEOPLE, AND IT'S WHY WE'RE SEEING SUCH DIVISION. THE

SECOND THING IS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FIRST SIN AMONG MAN

WAS IN CLOSING? WAS EATING OF THE, FROM THE TREE THAT

GOD SAID, OF ALL THE TREES IN THE GARDEN, YOU CAN

FREELY EAT, BUT THERE'S ONE DON'T TOUCH. BECAUSE THE DAY

YOU EAT THAT ONE, IT'S GONNA COST ME, GOD, EVERYTHING.

AND IT'S GONNA COST YOU EVERYTHING TOO. AND ALL YOU

HAVE TO DO IS HONOR WHAT I SAID. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

THAT SAME SPIRIT OF DISHONOR IN LUCIFER SHOWED UP AND

STARTED TALKING. THAT'S WHY I CALL YOU OUT FAKE NEWS.

BECAUSE YOU'RE THE SERPENT THAT'S BEEN TALKING AND

SPREADING DISHONOR AND LIES ACROSS OUR COUNTRY AND

FUELING HATE AND FUELING VIOLENCE. AND SOME OF YOU

POLITICIANS TOO. BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE HONOR IN YOUR

HEART. IF YOU HAD TRUE HONOR FOR THE JOB THAT YOU WENT TO

SCHOOL FOR, TO TELL THE TRUTH AND REPORT THE TRUTH,

YOU WOULDN'T SPEND IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY, NO

MATTER WHAT POSITION THEY GAVE YOU. ELECTED OFFICIAL,

IF YOU WOULD JUST GET THERE TO YOUR ELECTED OFFICE AND

REPRESENT THE PEOPLE IN HONOR, WE'D HAVE A WHOLE

DIFFERENT COUNTRY, RIGHT? BELIEVE ME, THEY WATCH

BECAUSE THEY WRITE ABOUT US. SO ANYWAY, WHAT WAS THE

FIRST SIN? DISHONOR. SO NEXT WEEK WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT

HONOR. I'M GONNA SHARE WITH YOU SOME OTHER THINGS. LET'S

GO AHEAD AND STAND TO OUR FEET REAL QUICK BEFORE

PASTOR DOUG COMES. DID YOU GET SOMETHING OUT OF WHAT I

SAID? (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) I WAS KIND OF

ALL OVER THE PLACE IN MY MESSAGE, BUT HOPEFULLY

EVERYBODY GOT SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, SO. AND I'LL JUST SAY

IT FOR THE RECORD. IF YOU'RE VISITING HERE TODAY OR

YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, I'M NOT HERE TO BECOME PASTOR

POPULAR. I'M NOT HERE TO TRY TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. I

WANT TO MAKE YOU MAD ENOUGH THAT YOU FEEL LIKE LEAVING.

OR MAYBE YOU LEAVE, BUT YOU COME BACK. I WANT TO TELL

THE TRUTH. I WANT TO SPEAK THE TRUTH AND LOVE AND I

WANT TO BRING HONOR BACK. AND THE ONLY WAY YOU DO IT

IS YOU HAVE TO, YOU CAN'T AVOID THE ISSUES THAT ARE

STARING US IN THE FACE, THAT ARE STEALING A GENERATION

FROM US, THAT IS LITERALLY CREATING CONFUSION AND

CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE AND HATRED AND THE MELTING POT

OF AMERICA HAS BECOME SO BOILING. AND I FEEL LIKE GOD

IS SAYING IF THESE TWO ELEMENTS JUST CAME BACK,

BOY, WE WOULD HAVE A LOT TO BUILD ON FOR THE FUTURE.

HEAVENLY FATHER, I SPOKE YOUR WORD, I SPOKE THE TRUTH

TODAY, AND I PRAY THAT EVERYONE IN THE SOUND OF MY

VOICE, THAT IT WOULD GO INTO THEIR HEARTS, AND THAT

FATHER, YOU, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WILL HELP GUIDE THEM

AND LEAD THEM INTO TRUTH. LET THEM TAKE THE WORDS THAT

I SAID, THE WORDS THAT I SPOKE, AND LET THEM SEARCH

IT OUT, EVEN FOR THEMSELVES. THAT LORD, THAT ALL OF US

WOULD RAISE THE STANDARD IN OUR LIFE OF LOVING YOU AND

LOVING OTHERS, BUT BEING PEOPLE OF HONOR, HONORING

YOU, GOD, HONORING YOUR COMMANDS, BUT HONORING ONE

ANOTHER. AND I AM ASKING YOU TO FORGIVE US WHEN WE HAVE

GOTTEN OUT OF THE LOVE WALK. AND I AM ASKING YOU TO

FORGIVE US WHEN WE HAVE NOT MAINTAINED THE SPIRIT OF

HONOR. AND I'M ASKING YOU TO RESTORE THESE THINGS ONCE

AGAIN, NOT ONLY IN OUR LIVES, BUT GOD IN OUR

COMMUNITIES. LORD, WE WOULDN'T HAVE SEXUALLY

EXPLOITED MATERIAL FOR KIDS IF IT WAS ABOUT LOVE AND

HONOR. WE WOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN TODAY AT THE AGE OF

10 AND YOUNGER, GOD, THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY GENDER

MUTILATION. AND WHEN THEY GET OLDER, THEY'RE GONNA

HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEIR DECISION BECAUSE OF THE LACK

OF HONOR. FATHER I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD COME IN YOUR MERCY

NOW AND IN YOUR GRACE AND IN YOUR HELP AND CAUSE THIS

SHIFT IN THIS CHANGE TO BRING OUR COUNTRY AND OUR

PEOPLE INTO A PLACE OF HEALING AND INTO STRENGTH

AND TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE I PRAY. NOW PUT

YOUR HAND ON YOUR HEART AND SAY LORD FROM THIS MOMENT

FORWARD I'M GOING TO INCREASE MY AWARENESS FOR MY

LOVE FOR YOU AND MY LOVE FOR OTHERS AND FROM THIS MOMENT

FORWARD I'M GOING TO RAISE MY AWARENESS AND MY

APPLICATION OF HONOR. I'M GOING TO BE MORE HONORABLE

IN JESUS NAME. AMEN. ALL RIGHT, PASTOR DOUG, COME.

GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU. I'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

- AMEN. THANK YOU, PASTOR HANK. THAT'S A TIMELY

MESSAGE. AT THIS POINT, IF I COULD HAVE OUR ALTAR TEAM

MOVE UP HERE, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE ASSIGNMENTS

SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE BUILDING, YOU CAN BE

DISMISSED RIGHT NOW. THE REST OF YOU, I'M GOING TO

ASK YOU IF YOU'D JUST STAY IN YOUR SEATS FOR A COUPLE

MOMENTS, AND WE WILL CLOSE HERE SHORTLY. THANK YOU SO

MUCH FOR OUR GUESTS COMING AGAIN TODAY. WE LOVE AND

APPRECIATE YOU AND ARE SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE. OUR

ALTAR TEAM IS UP HERE AT THE END OF THE SERVICES, AND IF

YOU NEED PRAYER FOR ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE, THEY'RE HERE

AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU. THEY ARE HONORED TO BE ABLE TO

PRAY WITH YOU. WELL, PASTOR HANK'S BEEN TALKING, AS YOU

KNOW, ABOUT SHIFT CHANGE FOR QUITE A WHILE, AND HE

BROUGHT UP GENESIS 1:14 TODAY. THE QUESTION WAS, WHO

Genesis 1:14

IS ON THE LORD'S SIDE? AND I WANT TO ASK YOU THAT

INDIVIDUALLY RIGHT NOW. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO ASK THAT

AS A NATION, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO SHIFT AS

A NATION AS GOD'S SHIFTING US. BUT LET ME ASK YOU

INDIVIDUALLY, ARE YOU ON THE LORD'S SIDE? BECAUSE THE WAY

THAT GOD DESIGNED HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MANKIND ON

THIS EARTH, HE MADE IT A FREE WILL RELATIONSHIP. YOU

CAN CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO BE ON GOD'S

SIDE. HE NEVER FORCES ANYONE. HE SENT JESUS TO

SAVE US IF WE WOULD JUST ACCEPT AND REPENT OF OUR

SIN. BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. AND MAYBE

YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY AND YOU HAVEN'T MADE THAT

CHOICE, OR MAYBE YOU'RE EVEN HERE TODAY UNDER THE SOUND

OF MY VOICE, AND YOU'VE NEVER REALLY MADE THAT

CHOICE TO SERVE JESUS CHRIST. MAYBE YOU'VE NEVER

BOWED YOUR KNEE TO HIM, OR MAYBE YOU'VE NEVER ASKED HIM

TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND TO SAVE YOU AND MAKE YOU

NEW. AND IT ALL STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER. IT'S THE

WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE. THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU'LL EVER

LIVE A SUCCESSFUL LIFE ON THIS EARTH AND THROUGH

ETERNITY IS WHEN YOU MAKE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF

YOUR LIFE. YOU CAN DO A LOT ON THIS EARTH WITHOUT GOD.

YOU CAN MAKE MONEY, YOU CAN GET INTO PLEASURE AND HAVE

THINGS, BUT IT WON'T GUARANTEE PEACE. GOD WON'T

WORK WITH YOU TO FILL THAT VOID. AND THEN SOMEDAY, HELL

WILL BE YOUR DESTINY. AND NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO HELL. IT

WAS DESIGNED FOR SATAN AND HIS SERVANTS. IT WAS NEVER

DESIGNED FOR HUMAN BEINGS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, SOME

PEOPLE SEND THEMSELVES THERE BECAUSE THEY ARE STUBBORN.

THEY REFUSE TO TURN TO GOD. I WANT TO ASK YOU JUST TO

BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT

THERE'S NO ONE IN THIS PLACE THAT HAS BEEN IN A PLACE IN

THEIR LIFE WHERE THEY HAVE NOT MADE A DECISION FOR

CHRIST. IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION THAT

YOU'LL EVER MAKE. IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHO YOU WILL

MARRY. IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE CAREER YOU'LL HAVE.

IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE DURING

THIS LIFETIME. THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN

YOUR DECISION FOR CHRIST. AND I WANT TO ASK YOU TODAY,

DO YOU NEED JESUS? DO YOU KNOW 100% THAT IF YOU WERE

TO LEAVE THIS EARTH TODAY, SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN TO

YOU, YOU'D LEAVE THIS EARTH AND GO HOME. WOULD IT BE

HOME TO HEAVEN OR WOULD IT BE HOME TO HELL? THAT'S YOUR

DECISION. WHEN I COUNT TO THREE TODAY, I'M GONNA ASK

YOU TO BE VERY BOLD. IF YOU NEED CHRIST, IF YOU WANT TO

MAKE A DECISION FOR HIM, YOU WANT TO MAKE HEAVEN YOUR

ETERNAL HOME, YOU WANT TO SERVE GOD AND MAKE A SHIFT

CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO BE VERY

BOLD AND RAISE YOUR HAND. WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU

TODAY. I'M GONNA COUNT TO THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE. IS

THERE ANYONE HERE? AND YOU SAY, "I NEED JESUS TODAY."

HANDS RAISED HIGH. I HAVE TO SEE YOU IN THESE LIGHTS. IS

THERE ANYONE HERE? YOU NEED JESUS. YOU WANT TO MAKE 100%

SURE THAT JESUS IS THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. YOU WANT

HEAVEN TO BE YOUR HOME. I SEE A COUPLE HANDS UP HERE

IN THE STADIUM. ANY OTHERS? ANYONE ELSE THAT'S BOLD

ENOUGH? SAY, I WANT JESUS IN MY HEART. THOSE THAT RAISED

THEIR HANDS UP THERE IN THE STADIUM SEATS, YOU CAN JUST

GET UP RIGHT NOW, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE, AND BE BOLD.

COME RIGHT DOWN HERE IN FRONT OF ME. AND I'M GOING

TO PRAY FOR YOU TODAY. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE

TIME TO GET DOWN HERE. MAYBE THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE HERE

WHILE THEY'RE COMING, AND YOU SAY, "JESUS HAS BEEN THE

LORD OF MY LIFE. "I MADE HIM MY SAVIOR, BUT I GOT OFF

TRACK. "I WENT THE WRONG WAY, AND I NEED TO REPENT."

MAYBE THAT'S YOU. MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN SOME

THINGS THAT YOU KNOW GOD WOULD NOT HAVE YOU BE

INVOLVED IN IN YOUR LIFE. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO COME

UP HERE WITH THESE TWO, AND WE'RE GOING TO REPENT AND

MAKE IT RIGHT. THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S JOY. THERE'S A

CELEBRATION THAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN THE SINNER COMES

BACK TO GOD. THANK YOU TWO FOR COMING. GOD BLESS YOU.

[APPLAUSE] SIR, JUST STEP UP TO ME HERE. WHAT'S YOUR

NAME, SON? JONAS. HEY, THAT'S A GREAT NAME.

JONAS, GLAD TO MEET YOU. I'M PASTOR DOUG. AND THEN YOUR

NAME IS? MIRACLE? YOU'RE A MIRACLE TODAY.

YOU'RE HERE. OH, JONAS AND MIRACLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR BEING BOLD TO COME UP HERE. THIS IS GOING TO BE A

DAY THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU RECEIVE

JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR. GIVE ME A MOMENT. IS

THERE SOMEONE ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE UP HERE RIGHT

NOW? YOU SAY, I'VE GOTTEN OFF TRACK. I NEED TO GET MY

LIFE BACK IN TRACK WITH THE LORD. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE?

I MADE THAT OFFER, BUT I DIDN'T GIVE YOU TIME TO COME

UP HERE BECAUSE I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT JONAS AND

MIRACLE. THIS IS A MIRACLE SUNDAY, DOUG. THIS IS A

MIRACLE SUNDAY. HEY, MIRACLE, JUST STAND RIGHT

OVER HERE BY JONAS AND LOOK AT ME, OK? BECAUSE I WANT

YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING, BECAUSE THIS IS THE

MOST IMPORTANT DECISION YOU'RE EVER MAKING IN YOUR

LIFE. THIS MEANS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOING TO BECOME

YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. HE'LL CHANGE YOUR SPIRIT. HE'LL

MAKE YOU A NEW PERSON. IT'S WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS BEING

BORN AGAIN. AND YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. AND

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS MOUTH A PRAYER FOR YOU. YOU

CAN JUST REPEAT AFTER ME AS I PRAY. AND JESUS CHRIST

WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. AND THEN YOU'LL BE ON YOUR WAY

TO HEAVEN. AND WHENEVER, 50 YEARS FROM NOW OR 100 YEARS

FROM NOW, WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, YOU'LL GO TO

HEAVEN AND BE WITH JESUS. AMEN. AND THAT'S A BLESSED

THING. AND GOD HAS A GREAT PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. AND YOU

CAN TAKE OTHER PEOPLE WITH YOU AND SHOW THEM THE WAY TO

HEAVEN TOO. SO THAT'S AN EXCITING PATH. SO YOU PRAY

WITH ME. AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY AND

YOU'RE AT HOME OR WHEREVER YOU'RE AT, YOU CAN PRAY THE

SAME PRAYER WITH ME AND GOD WILL COME INTO YOUR HEART

AND SAVE YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT. FATHER IN HEAVEN,

THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS. I BELIEVE HE WENT TO THE

CROSS, HE DIED FOR ME, HE WAS BURIED, AND HE ROSE

AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY. JESUS, FORGIVE ME FOR SIN IN

MY LIFE. I CONFESS I'VE BEEN A SINNER. NOW I WANT TO

SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY

SAVIOR. I PRAY THIS IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN, AMEN.

PRAISE GOD. LET'S GIVE THEM A HAND. MIRACLE AND JONAS,

OUR PEOPLE UP HERE WILL FIND YOU SOMEONE TO CONNECT WITH

AND THEN THEY'LL GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION TO TAKE

HOME WITH YOU, OKAY, AND GET YOUR NAME SO WE CAN SEND YOU

A LETTER. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. WELL, THANK YOU

EVERYONE FOR HOLDING FOR THAT. THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT

PART OF THE SERVICE. I DO WANT TO MENTION TWO MORE

THINGS BEFORE I DISMISS HERE. YOU MIGHT HAVE ALSO

RECEIVED THIS LITTLE FLYER AS YOU COME IN THAT SAYS,

"HOPE AND HEALING." IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT'S

EXPERIENCED GRIEF IN THEIR LIFE, THEY'VE LOST A LOVED

ONE, AND THEY NEED TO GET SOME HEALING, THIS IS A

WONDERFUL CLASS THAT WILL BE TAKING PLACE CALLED, "HOPE

AND HEALING AFTER THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE." RIGHT NOW

WE'RE RUNNING THAT EVERY THURSDAY, ONCE A MONTH,

STARTING OCTOBER 9TH FROM 10 TO 12, AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO

REGISTER FOR THAT AT THE INFORMATION CENTER AS YOU

LEAVE. OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT'S EXPERIENCING

GRIEF AND YOU THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD THING FOR

THEM, YOU CAN PASS THIS ON TO THEM AND HELP THEM WITH

THAT AREA OF THEIR LIFE. DON'T FORGET, WEDNESDAY

MIDWEEK RECHARGE, RIGHT HERE, 7PM. PASTOR KEITH WILL

HAVE A GREAT MESSAGE FOR US, AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT

THAT. GOD BLESS YOU, THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY.

REMEMBER, OUR SECOND-TIME GUESTS, GO OUT HERE TO THE

LEFT AS YOU GO OUT TO THE CHAPEL, AND WE'LL MEET YOU

UP THERE IN A FEW MINUTES FOR A SHORT LUNCHEON TIME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU WATCHING

ONLINE. TUNE IN AGAIN WITH US WEDNESDAY AT 7 P.M.
