FOR EVEN AS IT WAS, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SAYS

THAT I DEALT, WHEN I DEALT WITH THE KING OF BABYLON, I SAID

THAT HIS KINGDOM WOULD BECOME EXTINCT.

AND SO THE LORD SAYS THERE SHALL BE A SERIES OF

DIVINE EXTINCTIONS WHERE THINGS THAT PEOPLE THINK WOULD BE

FOREVER SHALL BE DONE AWAY AND NEITHER SHALL THOSE THINGS BE

DONE ANYMORE. FOR THE LORD SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN THINGS

THAT HAVE BEEN ENACTED IN THIS NATION, EVEN IN THE CHURCH

AMONG MY PEOPLE. AND THE LORD SAYS I WILL CAUSE SOME THINGS

TO BECOME EXTINCT AND IT WON'T BE VISITED AGAIN. IT WON'T BE

LOOKED AT AGAIN. SO THE LORD SAID THIS IS A TIME

IN YOUR LIFE TO KNOW THAT CYCLES AND CIRCLES AND THINGS

THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU. AND THE LORD SAYS I AM DECLARING

UPON IT A DIVINE EXTINCTION AND I WILL CAUSE THAT FLAME OF THE

ENEMY TO BE PUT OUT PERMANENTLY SAYS THE LORD. AND SO KNOW THIS

THAT MY DIVINE HAND CAN RAISE UP KINGS. IT CAN PUT OTHERS DOWN.

I'M THE ONE THAT OPENS THE DOORS. I'M THE

ONE THAT SETS MEN UP AND I'M THE ONE THAT PUTS THEM DOWN.

AND SO THE LORD SAYS KNOW THIS THAT I AM CAUSING A DIVINE

EXTINCTION TO SOME OF THE VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY.

I'M CAUSING A DIVINE EXTINCTION TO SOME THINGS OF THOSE

THAT THOUGHT THEY COULD SIT ON SEATS OF HAUGHTY PRIDE.

AND THEY WILL BE BROUGHT LOW SAYS THE LORD FOR

THEY HAVE PUFFED OUT THEIR CHEST AGAINST ME.

THEY HAVE COME AGAINST MY PLAN AND THEY HAVE COME AGAINST MY

PEOPLE. THEY HAVE COME AGAINST THAT WHICH I AM DOING.

AND SO THE LORD SAID THEY HAVE BIT OFF MORE THAN THEY CAN CHEW.

THEY WILL BE BROUGHT TO A PLACE OF HUMBLING SAYS THE HOLY ONE.

AND KNOW THIS, THAT THERE ARE THOSE THINGS THAT MEN HAVE TRIED

TO LEGISLATE AND DO, BUT THE LORD SAID IT WON'T GO THROUGH.

IT WILL NOT PROSPER, FOR A DIVINE EXTINCTION

IS BEING ENACTED FROM THE THRONE OF HEAVEN.

AND AS THE KING OF BABYLON WAS BROUGHT DOWN LOW, AND

HIS WORKS WERE MADE EXTINCT. KNOW THIS, WHEN I SAY

SOMETHING IS TO BE EXTINGUISHED SAYS THE LORD,

IT SHALL BE EXTINGUISHED. SO KNOW THIS, THAT THE LORD GOD

OF HOSTS HAS VISITED YOU THIS DAY, AND I AM DECLARING

AN EXTINCTION UPON THE ENEMY, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF

THE LORD. HALLELUJAH! COME ON, HALLELUJAH! I THINK YOU

OUGHT TO THANK GOD FOR THAT, AND DECLARE A DIVINE

EXTINCTION AGAINST THE DEVIL'S WORK. HALLELUJAH! IN

YOUR LIFE, IN YOUR FAMILY, IN YOUR CHILDREN. NOW LET'S

DO THIS. WE GOT A LOT TO DO TODAY, SO I DON'T WANT TO

BELABOR TOO LONG. BUT, TURN THE LIGHTS UP A LITTLE BIT.

WE'RE GONNA GREET ONE ANOTHER IN A MOMENT, BUT I

WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD BE GOOD. YOU

KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO AT THIS CONFERENCE IS WE

LIKE TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GETS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR

PRAYER AND MINISTRY. YOU KNOW WE CAN'T OBVIOUSLY

MINISTER INDIVIDUALLY TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU GUYS? YOU

MINISTER TO EACH OTHER. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY

HAS MINISTERED TO YOU ALREADY JUST BEING HERE?

ISN'T THAT GOOD? WE'RE THE BODY OF CHRIST. SO I I

PROMISE YOU LAST NIGHT WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR PROPHETIC

EXERCISE. ARE YOU READY? I'M GOING TO BE EXCITED FOR IT

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY THAT'S HERE

IN PERSON RECEIVES A PROPHETIC WORD. WELL, CAN

YOU DO THAT PASTOR BRENDA? WELL, YEAH, BECAUSE

PROPHECY, THE BIBLE SAYS IN FIRST CORINTHIANS IS IN ITS

SIMPLEST FORM IS FOR EDIFICATION. SOMEBODY SAY

EDIFICATION. TO EXHORT AND TO COMFORT. SO PROPHECY

OUGHT TO DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE

GOING TO DO. YOU'VE GOT TO FIND A PRAYER PARTNER NEXT

TO YOU. IT CAN BE ANYBODY. I MEAN, I GUESS YOU COULD BE

IN GROUPS OF THREE, BUT THIS IS IDEAL IF YOU DO TWO

PEOPLE. OKAY. OKAY. NOW GUYS LIKE BREAKOUT, HUSBANDS AND

WIVES. DON'T JUST TURN TO EACH OTHER. BREAKOUT. FIND

SOMEONE YOU HARDLY KNOW. OKAY. I SAW Y'ALL HUSBANDS

AND WIVES GRAB HANDS. WE'RE GOING TO BREAK OUT. WE'RE

GOING TO TRY THIS LITTLE THING HERE. I'M GOING TO

TEACH YOU. WHAT I'M DOING IS TEACHING YOU ALL HOW TO

PROPHESY. ALL RIGHT. NOW, EVERYBODY GOT EVERY, ANYBODY

WITHOUT SOMEBODY? I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

PARTICIPATE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO, BUT I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE

LIKE ROARING LIONS IN HERE. SO I THINK YOU GUYS ARE ALL

THE ONES THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF IT. ALL RIGHT,

EVERYBODY, ANYBODY WITHOUT SOMEBODY AND YOU STILL WANT

A PRAYER PARTNER? ALL RIGHT, LOOKS LIKE, OKAY, SO HERE'S

WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. NOW TRY TO DO THIS IN GROUPS OF TWO

BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS REALLY IMPORTANT. ALL

RIGHT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF YOUR PRAYER PERSON,

THEN SHARE YOUR NAME WITH THEM. ALL RIGHT, SHARE YOUR

NAME WITH THEM. EVERYBODY GOT SOMEBODY? I'M JUST

MAKING SURE I'VE GIVEN EVERYBODY ENOUGH TIME. ALL

RIGHT, SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. ARE YOU READY? NOW

EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU SOME

DIRECTION. LOOK AT ME. LOOK UP HERE. DON'T BE PRAYING

ALREADY, PASTOR TONY. HE'S ALREADY OVER THERE. HE'S

ALREADY GOT PEOPLE FELL UNDER THE POWER. OKAY, SO

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. ALL RIGHT, YOU READY? WE'RE

GONNA LOOK AT THAT PERSON IN THE EYE, JUST LOOK AT 'EM,

IF YOU DIDN'T MEET 'EM, YOU KNOW, SHAKE HANDS, SAY THEIR

NAME. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR A MINUTE WITH THAT

PERSON IN THE HOLY GHOST. NOW I SEE A FEW PEOPLE OUT

THERE IN GROUPS OF FOUR OR FIVE. FOLKS, THIS ISN'T

GONNA WORK IF YOU'RE IN A GROUP OF FOUR, UNLESS

SOMEBODY JUST DOESN'T, THERE'S A THIRD PERSON

DOESN'T HAVE SOMEBODY, BUT IT'S BEST IF YOU REALLY HAVE

TWO. SO IF YOU CAN DIVIDE UP INTO GROUPS OF TWO, THIS IS

MUCH MORE EFFICIENT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. CAUSE MAYBE

SOMEBODY IS ALL BY THEMSELVES AND I UNDERSTAND

THAT. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

DO. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST?

SO PRAY. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS PRAY IN THE SPIRIT FOR

A MOMENT, JUST PRAY IN TONGUES AND I WANT YOU TO

LISTEN TO YOUR SPIRIT. YOU LISTEN TO GOD IN YOUR HEART

FOR THAT PERSON. AND IN A FEW MOMENTS, YOU'RE GOING TO

GIVE THEM WHATEVER IT IS AFTER PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

YOU FELT IN YOUR HEART. NOW, WE'RE NOT PROPHESYING

LIFE-ALTERING DECISIONS TO PEOPLE, OKAY? THIS ISN'T

GOING TO BE QUIT YOUR JOB, MOVE TO SINGAPORE, NOTHING

LIKE THAT. THESE ARE JUST ENCOURAGING WORDS. YOU KNOW,

I FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY YOU'VE BEEN DOWN AND

OUT, AND MAYBE YOU'RE NEEDING SOME FINANCES OR

SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SIMPLE WORDS OF EXHORTATION. ALL

RIGHT, SO LET'S ALL PRAY IN THE SPIRIT. I'M GONNA GIVE

YOU ABOUT 40 SECONDS TO JUST LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

FOR THAT PERSON. COME ON. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES) COME

ON, JUST PRAY. LISTEN TO THAT. LISTEN. (SPEAKING IN

TONGUES) ALL RIGHT. NOW, YOU GUYS TAKE TURNS, AND I WANT

YOU TO TAKE JUST ABOUT 30 OR 45 SECONDS, MAYBE I'LL GIVE

YOU A MINUTE. AND ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO START FIRST, AND

YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH THAT PERSON AND JUST SAY, "I

FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY." AND THEN TELL THEM WHAT YOU

FEEL THE LORD WOULD SAY, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO SWITCH,

OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SO WHOEVER HAS CHOSEN TO BE THE FIRST ONE, YOU

GO. TELL THEM. LOOK THEM IN THE EYE AND SAY, "I FEEL LIKE

THE LORD WOULD SAY." I FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

THOSE OF YOU ONLINE CAN JOIN IN AND JUST PRAY FOR THIS

GROUP. PROPHESY IN GENERAL TO PEOPLE THAT MAYBE

ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER IN THE COMMENTS, UPLIFT ONE

ANOTHER. PRAY FOR THIS GROUP. PRAY SOME GENERAL

THINGS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NEED. THAT PROPHETIC HAND AS

WELL. ALRIGHT, NOW SWITCH. OKAY, WHATEVER, WHOEVER'S TALKING,

JUST STOP. STOP. OKAY, THE SPIRIT OF THE PROPHET IS SUBJECT

TO THE PROPHET. SO YOU CAN STOP. COLD TURKEY. AND THEN I

WANT THE NEXT PERSON TO GO. GIVE THEM AMPLE OPPORTUNITY.

SOME OF YOU LONG-WINDED PROPHESIERS. NOW THE OTHER

PERSON, THE LORD, I FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY.

(MUSIC)

OKAY, START WRAPPING UP. GET OUT THOSE LAST FEW PROPHETIC

UTTERANCES AS WE LAND THIS PLANE. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT,

EVERYBODY TURN AROUND AND LOOK UP AT ME. PRAISE GOD, TURN

AROUND AND LOOK UP AT ME. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE TROUBLE TURNING

OFF THE RIVER. I GET IT. LOOK AT ALL THESE PROPHETIC

PEOPLE IN HERE. NOW, I'M GOING TO ASK EVERYBODY A

QUESTION. OKAY, I'M GOING TO LOOK AROUND THE ROOM. HOW

MANY OF YOU, SOME OF YOU STILL PROPHESYING. THREE,

TWO, ONE, STOP. ALL RIGHT. COME ON, YOU'RE A GOOD

GROUP. ALL RIGHT. SO, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. HOW MANY

OF YOU, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T THINK THEY CAN

HEAR FROM GOD FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. THEY DON'T THINK THEY

SECOND GUESS THEIR ABILITY OR THEY DON'T THINK THAT

THEY CAN OFFER A PROPHETIC ENCOURAGEMENT, A WORD, AND

IT BE ACCURATE. HOW MANY OF YOU IN THIS ROOM, WHAT THE

PERSON'S, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME ASK THIS, HOW MANY OF YOU

REALLY DIDN'T KNOW THE PERSON YOU PRAYED WITH?

OKAY, THAT'S A TON OF YOU. OKAY, SO THAT EVEN HEIGHTENS

THE ACCURACY OF WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY. SO, HOW MANY

OF YOU, WHEN THAT PERSON SPOKE OVER YOU, THEY SPOKE

SOMETHING THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY TIMELY FOR WHAT

YOU NEEDED RIGHT NOW? COME ON, SEE YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO

HEAR FROM THE LORD. AMEN. GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE

BACK AND A HAND. THIS IS A GOOD PROPHETIC EXERCISE.

PEOPLE USED TO ASK PASTOR HANK AND I, HOW DID WE LEARN

TO PROPHESY? SO, WELL, WE START PRACTICE ON EACH

OTHER. OKAY. WELL, YOU MEAN YOU COULD PROPHESY TO

SOMEBODY YOU KNOW? WELL, YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM WELL, BUT

THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW WHAT THEY THOUGHT ALL DAY.

OKAY. YOU DON'T KNOW THINGS. I'VE HAD THINGS THAT WE

PROPHESIED OVER EACH OTHER AND IT WAS JUST TIMELY FOR

THE MOMENT, OR MAYBE IT JUST LIFTED THEIR SPIRIT, RIGHT?

IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, BUT IT MIGHT

HAVE BEEN A WORD OF WISDOM OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT THAT

PERSON NEEDED. AMEN? AMEN. AND SO YOU CAN HEAR FROM GOD

IN A SIMPLE WAY AND LEARN HOW TO PROPHESY. SO THESE

ARE SIMPLE EXERCISES YOU CAN DO. NOW, HUSBANDS AND WIVES,

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO IT. NOW, HERE'S SOMETHING WE

DISCOURAGE IN THE PROPHETIC. YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO A

LOCAL CHURCH, WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR CHURCH, YOU

KNOW, WHAT WE DO HERE AT THE CONFERENCE IS FOR THE

CONFERENCE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN, BUT YOU NEED TO BE

SUBMITTED TO YOUR PASTOR. YOU KNOW, WE DISCOURAGE

PEOPLE GOING OUT AND TRYING TO PROVE THEIR PROPHETIC

GIFTING IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CHURCH WHERE THE

PASTOR WON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, SO DON'T DO THAT. DON'T DO

THAT. I MEAN, YOU CAN ENCOURAGE PEOPLE, BUT I'M

KNOWING PEOPLE THAT THINK, WELL, I'VE GOT A PROPHETIC

CALLING, PASTOR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT, SO I'M JUST

GOING TO GO AROUND AND CORNER PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH.

FIRST OF ALL, USUALLY WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT, THEY TALK

WAY TOO CLOSE TO SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, AND YOU'RE JUST

STANDING IN THE CORNER BY THE BOOK RACK, KIND OF LIKE,

DON'T DO THAT, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. PASTORS DO NOT

LIKE THAT, BECAUSE REMEMBER, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE

THE GOVERNANCE OF THE SHEEP. SO WE GOT TO BE VERY

TASTEFUL AND GRACEFUL. I THINK THE BIBLE SAYS WE

OUGHT TO KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE OURSELVES IN THE HOUSE OF

GOD. SO WE HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED, BUT THEN THE

PASTORS AND THE LEADERS ALSO NEED TO RELEASE THE PEOPLE

AND GIVE THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO MINISTER IN THE RIGHT

SETTINGS. HERE AT LORD OF HOSTS WE HAVE SMALL GROUPS.

WE DO OUR 242 HOME GROUPS AND THEY TRAIN AND WORK WITH

ONE ANOTHER TO PROPHESY AND LEARN HOW TO BE USED OF GOD

EFFECTIVELY. BUT I MEAN, ALL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, THIS

WILL BE THE LAST THING I'LL SAY ON THIS, ALL GIFTS OF

THE SPIRIT CAN BE USED BY ALL BELIEVERS IF WE DO IT

WITH THE RIGHT MANNERS. THAT'S WHY THE APOSTLE PAUL

HAD TO SPEND ALL THOSE CHAPTERS IN 1 CORINTHIANS

TALKING ABOUT THE MANNER OF HOW WE MINISTER. SO IF WE

COULD ALL DO IT RIGHT, IMAGINE HOW MUCH GOOD

MINISTRY WOULD GO FORTH FROM YOU, THE PEOPLE, AND IT

DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO COME FROM THE PLATFORM. AMEN?

AMEN. DID YOU GET SOMETHING OUT OF THAT? NOW, LAST THING

I'LL SAY IS THOSE OF YOU THAT FELT LIKE, "WELL, I'M

NOT SURE WHAT THAT PERSON HAD SAID TO ME MADE SENSE."

OKAY, CAN I TELL YOU HOW MANY PROPHECIES AT THE TIME

DID NOT MAKE SENSE IN OUR LIFE? HAD A PROPHET ONE TIME

TOLD US, "YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO PIONEER AND PASTOR A

LARGE CHURCH." AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE TRAVELING THE

MINISTRY, I THOUGHT, "THIS MAN'S A FALSE PROPHET. HE IS

NOT HEARING FROM GOD." THAT WAS SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE WE

BIRTHED LORD OF HOSTS, AND WE DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD

EVER BE PASTORS. SO I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU THAT HOLD

ON TO THAT WORD TODAY. WHATEVER THAT PERSON SAID,

IF IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE, JUST GO HOME WITH IT. WE

CALL IT PUTTING IT ON THE SHELF, BECAUSE SOMETIMES

WHAT YOU PUT ON A SHELF HAS TO COME OFF AND BE DUSTED A

LITTLE BIT AND PUT BACK. AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU TAKE IT

OFF THE SHELF AND THAT MEANS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO

SOMETHING ELSE WITH IT. SO PUTTING IT ON THE SHELF

DOESN'T MEAN IT GOES AWAY. IT JUST MEANS THAT RIGHT NOW

YOU'VE GOT TO LET GOD MASSAGE IT AND WORK IT.

AMEN? ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU GOT SOMETHING OUT OF

THAT LITTLE PROPHETIC INSTRUCTION? ALL RIGHT, WHY

DON'T WE DO THIS, BECAUSE I WANT TO GET ON, BECAUSE WE

GOT A LOT TO DO AND I WANT TO PRAY FOR THE SICK TODAY,

AND I'M GOING TO PREACH A LITTLE BIT TO YOU. SO TURN

AROUND, LET'S GREET ONE ANOTHER IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. LOVE

ON SOMEBODY. TELL THEM YOU ARE SO EXCITED THAT THEY ARE

HERE. AND ALL OF YOU ONLINE, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY.

GOD BLESS YOU. AND I BELIEVE EVEN IF WE'RE NOT THERE TO LAY

HANDS ON YOU, WE ARE CERTAINLY GOING TO SPEAK THROUGH THAT

CAMERA FOR YOU TO BE HEALED TODAY IN JESUS NAME.

[MUSIC]

- ALL RIGHT, GOOD MORNING. [APPLAUSE] I'M GOING TO CHECK ON

THIS SECTION OVER THERE. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LIKE THE LOUD

ONES. HOW YOU DOING? DID YOU SLEEP? I'M GOING TO CHECK ON

THIS SECTION. YESTERDAY THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T GET MUCH SLEEP.

HOW YOU DOING? DID YOU SLEEP GOOD? YOU DID GOOD. NOW THIS

SECTION OVER HERE, I ASKED YOU YESTERDAY AND I DIDN'T

HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU. NO, I'M TEASING. OKAY, HOW YOU

DOING? ALRIGHT, LET ME HEAR THAT SECTION. HOW'D YOU

SLEEP? OH, LOOK AT THAT. ALRIGHT. JUST A MINUTE, BACK

SECTION. CAN WE HEAR THE BACK SECTION? GENE, THAT'S

PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. YEAH, THAT'S WHERE I WOULD BE.

THAT'S WHERE I'D BE. BUT I'D BE THERE WITH SOME ICE CREAM

AND SOME POPCORN. THAT'S WHAT I'D DO. BY THE WAY,

THEY DO HAVE ICE CREAM UPSTAIRS. NO WAY. REALLY? IS

IT TRUE? HOW MANY OF YOU HAD ICE CREAM UPSTAIRS ALREADY?

GENE, I'M GETTING SOME AT THE PARTY OR LUNCHEON. WELL,

ANYWAY, IT'S GOOD TO STAND HERE WITH MY GREAT FRIEND

GENE BAILEY. DON'T YOU LOVE GENE BAILEY AND TERRY? AND

HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE FLASHPOINT? (AUDIENCE

CHEERING) ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA ASK ONE OTHER

QUESTION. I'M GONNA PUT HIM ON THE SPOT. HOW MANY THINK

GENE NEEDS A VACATION? (AUDIENCE CHEERING) I THINK

HE ONLY TOOK LIKE TWO DAYS AND FIVE YEARS. BUT I GOT

BIG PLANS, GENE. AFTER THIS EVENT TOMORROW, GUESS WHAT

BRENDA AND I ARE GOING TO DO? WE GOT THREE GERMAN

SHEPHERDS AND A LITTLE SHIH TZU, SO I BOUGHT THIS, I

BOUGHT THIS PET DEVICE THAT DOGS FETCH, AND IT SAYS IT

SHOOTS UP TO A MILE. DOES THAT SEEM KIND OF

FAR-FETCHED? [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT, I GOT, OH, STOP, STOP,

STOP, STOP. ALL RIGHT. -IT'S TOO EARLY.

- IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT. I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. HOW

MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD THE SPIRIT OF GOD COME ON

YOU, AND YOUR BODY JUST IS LIKE, "DAH, WHAT'S GOING

ON?" I DID NOT SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT. I JUST COULD NOT

SHUT DOWN. SO IF YOU SEE ME NODDING, I'M AGREEING. I'M

NOT SLEEPING ON THE FRONT ROW. ALL RIGHT, BUT HEY, I

WANT TO SAY THIS. WE HAVE SOME EXCITING EVENTS AND I

WANTED GENE TO STAND UP HERE IN A MOMENT BECAUSE WE'RE

GOING TO RECEIVE THE OFFERING. AND I GOT TO TELL

YOU, WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE. I WANT TO KNOCK THIS YEAR'S

BUDGET OUT. LAST YEAR I HAD TO KIND OF GO BACK TO YOU

AND TO YOU THAT ARE WATCHING SAY, "GUYS, WE GOT TO PAY

FOR THIS THING." SO, YOU KNOW, I TRUST THAT IT'S

GOING TO BE COMPLETED, TAKEN CARE OF. BUT ON A DIFFERENT

NOTE, BEFORE GENE COMES, WE HAVE AN EVENT COMING IN

NOVEMBER. AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS MAN THAT I'M ABOUT

TO TALK TO, IF THEY COULD PUT THE EVENT UP, IT'S

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AT OUR CHURCH, BROTHER COPELAND IS

GOING TO COME AND WE'VE OPENED OUR BUILDING FOR HIM

TO DO A VICTORY CAMPAIGN. AND IF IT WASN'T FOR BROTHER

COPELAND, FIRST OF ALL, HE IMPARTED THINGS WHEN I

DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM INTO MY LIFE ON THE COVENANT OF GOD.

BUT LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY WITH

FLASHPOINT. GENE, WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE IF IT

WASN'T FOR THAT. CAN THEY PUT IT UP

ON THE BACK SCREEN? IS THERE ANYTHING

YOU WANT TO SAY ON THAT? MARK YOUR CALENDARS, THOSE

OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING OMAHA, NEBRASKA AT OUR

TABERNACLE. I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE DATES. IS THAT NOVEMBER?

I WISH THEY HAD IT BACK HERE, BUT MAYBE THEY CAN'T.

YOU GUYS HAVE TO PUT IT BIGGER. THERE IT IS. THANK

YOU. LET'S GIVE A HAND CLAP FOR OUR GUYS. YOU DID GREAT.

THANKS. ALL RIGHT. NOVEMBER 6TH THROUGH THE 8TH, LORD OF

HOST CHURCH, KENNETH COPELAND, JONATHAN

SHUTTLESWORTH, AND KEITH BUTLER. IT'S GOING TO BE A

GREAT TIME. IT IS FREE, CORRECT? CORRECT. SO YOU CAN

REGISTER AND I ENCOURAGE YOU. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE

PLANNING ON COMING TO THAT? WOW. YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S

HONOR GOD AND LET'S HONOR BROTHER COPELAND, BUT LET'S

HONOR WHAT GOD HAS DONE TO RAISE UP A FLASHPOINT

MOMENT. THAT'S RIGHT. AMEN. I AGREE. AMEN. ALL RIGHT,

NOW THE SECOND ONE IS THIS. COMING THIS APRIL, MY WIFE

IS HOSTING ANOTHER WOMEN'S CONFERENCE. HOW MANY OF YOU

WOMEN HAVE BEEN TO ONE? OPENING THE HEAVENS. NOT

OPENING THE HEAVENS. WHAT'S IT CALLED? WOMEN, YOU ARE ANOINTED.

- YOU NEED TO TAKE A NAP. - I KNOW. LAST YEAR I

RENAMED IT. I CALLED IT WOMEN, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

CAUSE LAST YEAR'S CONFERENCE OR THIS YEAR I WENT TO THE

NFL DRAFT, GENE, UP IN GREEN BAY. BUT HERE ARE THE

THINGS. BRENDA, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY ON

THAT? I'M GOING TO HURRY FOR GENE, BUT SAVE THE DATE,

APRIL 17TH THROUGH THE 18TH, 2026, THAT WILL BE ALSO AT

THE TABERNACLE. AND DO THEY JUST NEED TO SAVE THE DATE?

NOW, LET ME JUST SAY THIS, AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU

THE LAST ONE REAL QUICK. ARE YOU READY? O-T-H 2026. THERE

IT IS. SEPTEMBER 10TH THROUGH THE 13TH. AND THE

REASON WE ALWAYS DO THE 10TH THROUGH THE 13TH IS BECAUSE

OF TERRY'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 11TH, RIGHT? SO, BUT WE ARE

LINING THAT UP. SAVE THE DATE. NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU,

IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, YOU CAME THROUGH THE LINE AND

FOR THE BOOK SIGNING AND MAN, MANY OF YOU WERE SAYING

THIS IS OUR FIFTH ONE, WHICH MEANS YOU'VE BEEN TO EVERY

ONE OF OPENING THE HEAVENS HERE. IF THAT'S YOU, RAISE

YOUR HAND. WE WANT TO HONOR YOU. WOW! HOW MANY HAVE BEEN

TO FOUR OF THEM? WOW! HOW MANY HAVE BEEN TO THREE?

TWO? ONE? WOW. WOW, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO

ONE? IF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND, I WOULD HAVE PRAYED

FOR YOU AND ON THAT MOMENT RIGHT THERE. ALL RIGHT,

GENE, YOUR BOOK. ANYWAY, IT'S BLANK, GENE. JUST LIKE

MY HOMEWORK FOLDER USED TO ALWAYS BE BLANK. OKAY.

WHERE'S YOUR HOMEWORK? OH, THE DOG ATE IT. ANYWAY.

- WHY AM I UP HERE? [ LAUGHTER ] HE SAYS, "COME ON UP HERE

WITH ME," AND I'M LIKE, "OKAY."

- BECAUSE I'M SO SLEEPY, I JUST NEED SOME HELP TO GET BAILED OUT

HERE IN A MOMENT. ALL RIGHT. SO HERE'S THE LAST POINT. THE

LAST POINT IS THIS, OTH, MANY OF YOU AND YOU THAT ARE

ONLINE YOU OFTEN SAY, "HEY, I WANT TO BE THERE." I'M

GONNA PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR, THESE EVENTS, AND

HERE'S WHY. THE REASON GOD HAS DONE MANY THINGS WITH

BRENDA AND I IS IN THE EARLY YEARS WE WOULD GET THE WORLD

MAP OUT AND THE UNITED STATES MAP EVEN BEFORE WE

HAD MEETINGS AND WE WOULD POINT OUR FINGER AND SAY

MISSOURI WE'RE COMING TO YOU, PENNSYLVANIA WE'RE

COMING TO YOU, THEN WE'D SPEAK THE NATIONS AND SAY

WE'RE COMING TO YOU. YOU NEED TO DO THAT WITH YOUR

CALENDAR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING THAT YOU'RE

DESIRING TO BE HERE. PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR AND SAY I'M

COMING NEXT YEAR AND GOD YOU'RE GONNA PROVIDE THE

WAY. AMEN. ALL RIGHT GENE, THE REASON YOU'RE HERE IS

LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR GENE BAILEY AS HE MINISTERS TO YOU.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING) - I... WHAT WAS THAT HANK? I

HAVE A NEW NEW APPRECIATION PASTOR BRENDA FOR YOU

BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WAS YOU. LIKE WHERE IS HE GOING?

WHAT IS HE DOING? NO, THANK YOU. HOW

MANY OF YOU SLEPT LAST NIGHT? WELL I'M GLAD YOU

DID. HOW MANY OF YOU... HOW MANY OF YOU CAME... I MEAN

WELL LET ME ASK YOU THIS WAY. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE

MORNING PEOPLE? YEAH. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS. HOW MANY OF

YOU ARE NOT MORNING PEOPLE BUT YOUR SPOUSE BROUGHT YOU

OR YOU JUST GOT HERE ANYWAY? YEAH. WELL GOD BLESS YOU.

YOU'RE MY PEOPLE. LIKE I SAID I WOULD BE IN THE BACK

RIGHT NOW DOING THIS WITH A CUP OF COFFEE. BUT ANYWAY,

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR

SUPPORTING MY FRIENDS HANK AND BRENDA AND OPENING THE

HEAVENS. BUT YOU KNOW, I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH THE BODY.

AND AS I WAS DRIVING OVER HERE THIS MORNING, I WAS

THINKING ABOUT CHARLIE AND, AND HOW, AND THE FACT PASTOR

HANK AND I WERE SITTING OVER THERE AND HE MENTIONED IT TO

ME, HOW CHARLIE KIRK WOULD SEND YOU TEXT MESSAGES. AND

CHARLIE WAS A BIT ADD, I THINK. AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT

OF TIMES YOU'RE LIKE, OKAY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND HE

WOULD, HE WOULD SEND ME MESSAGES AND HE WOULD SEND

SCRIPTURES. SO I THOUGHT, WONDER WHAT THE LAST ONE

THAT HE SENT ME WAS. HERE IT IS, COLOSSIANS 3,2, "SET

YOUR MIND ON THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE AND NOT ON THINGS THAT

ARE ON THE EARTH." YEAH. AND, AND LISTEN, WHEN IT

COMES TO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, THERE WAS A CROSSING, YOU

KNOW, PASTOR HANK LAST NIGHT TALKED ABOUT THE LINE IN THE

SAND AND WE'RE CROSSING THAT LINE AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE A

DECISION WHERE YOU'RE GOING FROM HERE AND WHERE WE'RE

GOING TO, WHAT LINE IS IT THAT YOU WON'T CROSS? WHERE

IS YOUR SPIRITUALITY? WHERE IS YOUR CHRISTIANITY? WHERE

IS YOUR CONVICTION? AND I THINK WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING

OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS IS A CONTINUAL REVELATION,

CONTINUAL REVELATION OF WHERE PEOPLE REALLY ARE. AND

WHAT WE WHAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS IF WE ARE

REALLY SETTING OUR MIND ON THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE LIKE

IT WAS IN COLOSSIANS 3 2, THEN IT HAS TO COME OUT IN

YOUR BODY, IN YOUR PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION. AND THEN THE

REASON WE'LL I WON'T ASK THIS QUESTION, BUT I'LL TALK

ABOUT MY WIFE. LIKE I SAID, I WOULD SIT IN THE BACK,

TERRY WOULD BE ON THE FRONT ROW. SO IT'S AMAZING WE EVEN

GOT TOGETHER. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CALL THE

TERRY SPLASH ZONE. DURING PRAISE AND WORSHIP, I MEAN,

TERRY WILL BE PRAISING WORSHIP AND YOU'LL SEE ME

GOING. BUT SHE SETS HER MIND ON THINGS ABOVE. AND IT

MANIFESTS THROUGH HER WORSHIP WHEN SHE'S PRAISING

GOD AND WORSHIPING GOD. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, I WISH,

SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS MORE LIKE THAT. AND I FEEL LIKE,

YOU KNOW, WHY, WHAT IS IT THAT I'M MISSING? BECAUSE I

WANT TO SEE, AND WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME, AND I'M NOT

ASKING YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALL BE LIKE THAT. BUT WE NEED TO

UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS WHEN WE SET OUR MIND ON

THINGS ABOVE, WE HAVE TO EXECUTE HERE IN THE EARTH.

WHAT HAPPENS ABOVE HAS TO BE EXECUTED BELOW. AND THIS IS

WHY, YOU KNOW, THE OFFERING IS SO IMPORTANT. IT'S NOT

JUST PAYING THE BILL. UNDERSTANDING, YEAH, THERE'S

COST INVOLVED. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. THERE'S

COST INVOLVED IN PUTTING ON AN EVENT LIKE THIS AND

MAKING IT FREE AND MAKING YOU TO BE ABLE TO COME AND

ALL THAT. SO YOU GET THAT. I KNOW YOU DO. BUT THERE'S

SOMETHING SPIRITUAL THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE OF

YOUR OWN SUSTENANCE, WHEN YOU GIVE OF YOUR OWN

FINANCES BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE SETTING YOUR

MIND. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WHAT IS SPIRITUALLY MORE

IMPORTANT, WHAT IS DIVINELY MORE IMPORTANT IS WHERE I'M

GOING TO SET MY MIND. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR

FAMILY THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU TITHE OR THEY THINK

YOU GIVE WAY TOO MUCH? THEY BELIEVE YOU OUGHT TO TIP GOD

INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, GIVE THEM YOUR COINS, YOUR LOOSE

CHANGE. YOU KNOW, THIS IS YOUR YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF

WHO JESUS IS AND WHO GOD IS IN YOUR LIFE MANIFESTS IN

EVERY WAY, WHETHER YOU WANT TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. SHOW

ME SOMEONE'S CHECKING ACCOUNT REGISTER AND I CAN

TELL YOU WHAT THEIR, WHERE THEIR MOTIVES ARE, WHERE

THEIR HEART IS. AND YOU KNOW THE SCRIPTURE, WHERE YOUR

TREASURE IS, YOUR HEART WILL BE. LISTEN, WE, WE HAVE

CROSSED A LINE AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WE DEIFY CHARLIE

KIRK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING

SPIRITUAL THAT HAPPENED. SOMETHING HAS CHANGED AND I

KNOW WE AND PASTOR HANK'S MESSAGE ON THE SHIFT CHANGE

IS NEVER BEEN MORE, NEVER BEEN MORE ACCURATE, MORE

MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE COMING, WE

ARE IN A SEASON. I USED TO SAY COMING INTO A SEASON. WE

ARE IN A SEASON WHERE YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE WHICH SIDE OF

THE LINE YOU'RE GOING TO OPERATE ON. YOU CAN NO

LONGER JUST OPERATE ON THE FENCE, 'CAUSE THE DEVIL OWNS

THE FENCE, RIGHT? WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO

OPERATE AND WE HAVE TO SET OUR MIND ON THAT. WHEN YOU

SET YOUR MIND, YOU SET YOUR WALLET. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF

ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN MATT KUNNEMAN'S TRUCK. AND SO

MATT HAS SET HIS MIND ON THE GREEN BAY PACKERS. I DIDN'T

SAY I DID, I SAID MATT DID. BUT I THOUGHT OF IT AND I

WALK OUT AND IT'S GREEN AND GOLD AND ALL THAT THAT GOES

WITH BEING A PACKER FAN. I'M REALLY TRYING TO NOT GO TOO

FAR. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S

DONE WITH THAT, HIS MIND IS SET, AND YOU SEE IT, IT

MANIFESTS ITSELF IN HIS TRUCK, AND IN HIS LIFE, AND

IN HIS CLOTHING. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) AND

I, NO, THAT'S NOT A BAD COMMENT. Y'ALL TRYING TO GET

ME IN TROUBLE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) SO LET'S SET OUR

MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE AND LET'S SET OUR WALLETS ON

THINGS BELOW. BECAUSE WHEN WE SET IT ON ABOVE, THAT

MEANS IT'S GONNA COME OUT BELOW, AMEN?

OKAY, WAIT A MINUTE, AMEN? - AMEN.

- OKAY, THANK YOU, THERE YOU ARE, THERE YOU ARE. ALL

RIGHT, THESE ARE THE WAYS TO GIVE THIS MORNING FOR LORD

OF HOSTS. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THE USHERS, IF YOU'VE

GOT ENVELOPES, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND GIVE THEM, PASS

THEM OUT. IF YOU RAISE YOUR HAND, IF YOU NEED AN

ENVELOPE, THERE'S THE WAYS TO GIVE ON THE SCREEN. IF

WELCOME MR. GREEN BAY HIMSELF, MATT KUNNEMAN? COME

ON OUT HERE, MATT. AND HIS BODYGUARD, JONATHAN.

- WE LOVE YOU, PASTOR GENE. EVEN THOUGH I THINK ALL OF

WHAT YOU JUST SAID SOUNDS LIKE A SPIRIT OF BITTERNESS

NEEDS TO BE CAST OUT OF YOU, THAT MICAH PARSONS IS NOT A

DALLAS COWBOY ANYMORE. - NO, HE'S NOT.

- I'M SORRY THAT YOUR TEAM HAS JUST BEEN IRRELEVANT FOR

ALMOST THREE DECADES NOW. [AUDIENCE BOOING] SO, I'M

SORRY THAT YOUR OWNER TRADED MICAH PARSONS TO THE TEAM

THAT HAS BROKEN YOUR CITY'S HEARTS.

- THAT'S RIGHT, IT HAS. - HOW MANY TIMES NOW?

- THAT'S TRUE. IN FACT, PART OF THE TRADE IS YOU GET

JERRY JONES. - YEAH, YEAH, APPARENTLY.

- BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE YOU'RE WEARING SILVER, BLUE,

AND BLACK TODAY. THIS IS, UH, THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.

- GO BRONCOS. - JOHN, A BRONCO FAN, YEAH,

THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT, TAKE CARE OF HIM.

-THANK YOU, PASTOR GENE. SO, AND ON THAT RECORD OF

THE TRUCK, IT HAS PACKER STICKERS. IT'S MORE OF A

GAME CHANGERS TRUCK, ACTUALLY. I DON'T KNOW IF

THEY HAVE A PICTURE, BUT WE CAN SHOW THIS. I DON'T KNOW

IF, RYAN, IF YOU GUYS PULLED IT UP, BUT IT HAS LIKE

UNDERGLOW. SO, I CAN MAKE IT GREEN, I CAN MAKE IT YELLOW,

I CAN MESS AROUND WITH IT. BUT I WAS LIKE, I GOT TO GO

WITH THE GAME CHANGERS THEME ON THIS AND DO A BLACK AND

GOLD TRUCK. BUT I HAVE PUT GREEN BAY PACKERS STICKERS

ON IT, OF COURSE, WHEN I GO UP TO LAMBEAU. IT'S ONE OF

MY FAVORITE THINGS. SHOW THE WHITE VERSION OF IT TOO.

YEAH, SO YOU CAN DO LIKE A — I LOVE THAT IN THE BACK

ROADS, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WAY WE'RE ANOINTED WHEN DEER TRY

TO RUN ACROSS THE ROAD, RIGHT? SO WE CAN SPOT THEM

FROM MILES AWAY, BUT I LOVE IT. YOU KNOW, I'M A TRUCKER,

AND YOU KNOW, GOD BLESSES YOU WHEN YOU BLESS THE

CHURCH, AMEN? AND WHEN YOU GIVE FIRST, IT'LL BE GIVEN

BACK TO YOU, AND DOUBLE BLESSING, TRIPLE BLESSING,

AND I BELIEVE THAT FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IN THIS

ROOM AND WATCHING ONLINE, AMEN? AMEN. WELL, AS PASTOR

GENE SAID, I HAVE MY BROTHER, THE BODYGUARD, NEXT

TO ME HERE. WE'RE STILL NOT GOING AT IT OR FIGHTING, SO

JUST LETTING YOU GUYS KNOW. ALTHOUGH WE GREW UP MULTIPLE

TIMES IN THE YARD, MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE

WAS, LIKE DAD SAID LAST NIGHT, A HOLE IN THE WALL.

HOW DID WE SETTLE IT? YOU JUST SAID, "GO OUTSIDE AND

SETTLE IT," RIGHT? AND THEN WE HAD TO COME IN, AND SO

THIS IS A MOM THING HERE. SHE USED TO MAKE US NOW, IF

THERE WAS EVER A DISAGREEMENT OR GROWING UP.

WE HAD TO COME IN, JOHN, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS? AND STAND

IN THE LIVING ROOM AND HUG FOR A MINUTE STRAIGHT IN

FRONT OF MOM AND DAD LIKE THIS. LITERALLY JUST LIKE

THIS. COULDN'T SAY A WORD. NOW YOU TWO ARE GOING TO

STAND HERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO HUG. WE'RE COMING IN WITH

BLOODY NOSES. SO, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE LOVE

THAT WE HAVE FOR EACH OTHER REALLY STARTED. I MEAN, WE

WOULD, YOU KNOW, REALLY JUST COME IN AND MOM AND DAD

REALLY TRAINED US ON HOW TO BE BROTHERS IN THE SPIRIT

AND HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACK. AND YOU KNOW, THAT CARRIED

OVER TO HAVING MOM AND DAD'S BACK WITH, LIKE WE SAID LAST

NIGHT, WATCHING THEM TAKE THE HITS, WATCHING THEM

STAND STRONG FOR THIS NATION, STAND STRONG FOR YOU

GUYS, STAND STRONG FOR REALLY WHAT THEY'VE TRIED TO

DO IN SILENCING THE CHURCH. AND I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT

NOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SILENCED. AMEN? JOHN, DO YOU

HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT OUR AMAZING MOTHER BEFORE

SHE COMES UP AND SPEAKS TODAY? YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF

HAVE A JOKE FOR MOM. WE CALL IT MOM'S PERFECT SERVICE.

AND WE JOKE BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW MUCH MOM PUTS IN TO MAKE

THIS SHIP RUN. YOU KNOW, LIKE GROWING UP SEEING THE

BLUE CARPET, THE FOLDABLE CHAIRS, TO NOW BEING HERE IN

A BIG ARENA AND HOW MUCH WORK THEY'VE PUT INTO

GROWING THE MINISTRY. IT TAKES A LOT. IT TAKES A LOT.

YOU KNOW, JUST SEEING LIKE, I WAS EVEN TALKING TO RYAN.

HE RUNS ALL THE CAMERA WORK AND EVERYTHING. AND TO SEE

HOW MUCH IT'S GROWN FROM, I REMEMBER WHEN THE CHURCH GOT

THE FIRST CAMERA LIKE 20 YEARS AGO. AND THAT WAS LIKE

A HUGE DEAL. TO LOOK AT NOW AND HOW MUCH THIS HAS BECOME

LIKE SUCH A BIG PIECE OF PROVIDING MINISTRY TO THE

WORLD AND MY MOM HAS BEEN SUCH A BIG PIECE OF THAT.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR HER. YES. AND WE'RE

EXCITED TO HEAR HER SPEAK THIS MORNING. DON'T, HEY,

DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF A MOTHER IN SERVICE NOW. I'M

TELLING YOU, DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF MAMA SERVICE. AND

THAT WAS THE THING WE USED TO SAY. WE WOULD BE SITTING

TOGETHER ON THE FRONT ROW. OKAY, WE GOT TO KEEP QUIET

BECAUSE WE CAN'T TICK OFF MOM IN A SERVICE. IT'S ONE

THING TO TICK OFF MOM AT HOME, BUT YOU TICK HER OFF

IN THE CHURCH. OH, NO. THAT'S A MONTH OF HEALING

RIGHT THERE. THAT'S A MONTH OF SPANKINGS RIGHT THERE. SO

DON'T DO THAT. DON'T TAKE A MAMA UP IN SERVICE, AMEN.

BUT WE LOVE OUR MAMA, AND IF WE COULD WELCOME HER TO THE

FRONT AFTER THIS VIDEO. GUYS, GET READY TO HEAR MY

MAMA, OUR MAMA, PASTOR BRENDA KUNNEMAN NEXT. AMEN.

- I DON'T BELIEVE THE LIE THAT THE CHURCH IS THE MOST

DIVIDED PLACE ON A SUNDAY. I BELIEVE THE DEVIL HAS USED

THAT LINE. COME ON, WHEREVER THE HOLY GHOST IS, PEOPLE

ARE GOING TO GATHER. WHEREVER THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS MOVING,

PEOPLE WILL COME. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE BLACK OR BROWN OR

WHITE, AS WHITE AS WHITE, AS WHITE AS PASTOR HANK. I DON'T

CARE HOW WHITE YOU ARE. GOD, IF GOD IS MOVING, PEOPLE WILL COME

FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (APPLAUSE)

WHAT WAS THAT? WHITE, AS WHITE AS THEY COME? IS THAT WHAT IT

IS? WHAT DID I SAY RIGHT THERE? I DON'T KNOW. I'M

LIKE, WOW. GOOD LORD. WELL, YOU KNOW I AM HALF BLACK.

ALL MY CHURCH KNOWS THIS. THEY CHECK MY BIRTH

CERTIFICATE ON A REGULAR BASIS. WELL, PRAISE THE

LORD. BE SEATED AND LET'S GET INTO THE WORD. THANK

YOU, BOYS, AGAIN FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL, THOSE BEAUTIFUL

WORDS. THEY JUST MEAN SO MUCH TO THE HEART OF THIS

MOTHER. AND I LOVE MY KIDS, AND THEY'RE GOOD BOYS. GOD

BLESS YOU GUYS. AMEN. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE

WORD TODAY. I WANT TO TRY TO BE QUICK. I KNOW, TYPICALLY

I'M THE LONG -WINDED PREACHER, BUT I THINK I CAN DO THIS IN

RECORD TIMING, BECAUSE WE WANT TO PRAY FOR EVERYBODY

TODAY. BUT LET'S OPEN OUR BIBLES TO 2 TIMOTHY CHAPTER

2 Timothy 3 · chapter mention

3, AND CAN I JUST KIND OF SETTLE INTO THE BENCH AND

TEACH YOU A LITTLE BIT THIS MORNING? I WANT TO TALK

ABOUT RESPONDING IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION, AND I KIND OF

SHIFTED MY MESSAGE A LITTLE BIT IN LIGHT OF WHAT

HAPPENED ON WEDNESDAY. JUST TIMES OF PERSECUTION, NOT

ONLY HOW WE SHOULD RESPOND, BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW

GOD RESPONDS. SO I HAVE, YOU KNOW, FIVE RESPONSES FROM

US, AT LEAST WHAT THEY OUGHT TO BE, AND THEN FIVE

RESPONSES FROM GOD, AND WE SEE THESE THROUGH THE BOOK

OF ACTS. BUT I WANT TO LOOK AT, LET'S START IN 2 TIMOTHY

2 Timothy 3 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 3 AND JUST GET A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF BASICALLY

THE TIME AND THE CULTURE THAT WE'RE IN. I MEAN, THIS

WOULD BE A PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE YOU COULD REALLY

READ EVERY DAY AND PROBABLY GLEAN SOMETHING NEW FROM IT,

AMEN? 2 TIMOTHY, I'M READING FROM THE KING JAMES, I'M A

LITTLE OLD SCHOOL, SO YOU ALL CAN JUST FILL IN THE

BLANKS. 2 TIMOTHY 3, VERSE 1, "THIS KNOW ALSO THAT IN

2 Timothy 3:1

THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS OR DANGEROUS TIMES SHALL COME."

NOW WOULD YOU NOT AGREE THAT WE ARE IN VERY DANGEROUS

TIMES? THE FACT THAT WE HAD TO WALK IN HERE TODAY AND

THIS WEEK WITH METAL DETECTORS, COME ON, TO COME

TO A CHURCH MEETING MEANS THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME KIND

OF DIFFERENCE IN THE DAY THAT WE'RE LIVING IN. AND

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE WEREN'T DANGEROUS TIMES

BEFORE. WE'VE SEEN DANGEROUS TIMES ALL THROUGH HISTORY.

NOW DON'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE WORST OF

ALL TIMES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES IN AMERICA'S HISTORY,

IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, BUT WHAT WE ARE SEEING NOW

THAT IS DIFFERENT IS A CULMINATION IN MASS, IF THAT

MAKES SENSE, OF THE EVIL THAT'S IN THE WORLD. SO

PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME FOR MEN, AND THIS INCLUDES

WOMEN. MEN SHALL BE LOVERS, AND LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY,

SHALL BE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES. NOW, THIS

CULTURE IS VERY SELF

-FOCUSED, AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT SELFIES ON

SOCIAL MEDIA. I'M TALKING ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE LITERALLY

LIVE EVERY DAY THINKING ABOUT NUMBER ONE. THEY'RE

FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS TO THEM. THEY'RE FOCUSED ON HOW

THEY CAN GET AHEAD. THEY'RE FOCUSED ON THE HARDSHIP AND

THE TRAUMA OF THEIR LIFE. THEY'RE AND THEY GO THROUGH

EVERY DAY, NEVER THINKING ABOUT HOW THEIR ACTIONS AND

THEIR MOUTH COME ON SOMEBODY, THEIR MOUTH, WHAT

THEY SAY, WHAT THEY DO, HOW IT IMPACTS ANYONE ELSE.

PEOPLE LIVE ON THE JOBS MANY TIMES FOCUSED ON SELF.

PEOPLE POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA BASED ON SELF. PEOPLE TREAT

THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, THE REASON THAT

DIVORCE RATES ARE SO HIGH IS NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE COULDN'T

LEARN, IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SELFISH. WELL, YOU HURT

MY FEELINGS. AND EVERYTHING HAS BECOME THIS CESSPOOL OF

SELF. AND THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THIS WHOLE PASSAGE

BEGINS WITH THIS. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE OUGHT

TO NOT THINK ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US, BUT WE

OUGHT TO FOCUS ON WHAT ARE THE NEEDS OF OTHERS. AND I

BELIEVE THAT'S MORE THAN JUST FOCUSING ON THE NEEDS

OF OTHERS, MEANING THAT WE, YOU KNOW, GO AND HELP WITH

HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS AND WORK IN A SOUP LINE AND HELP

WITH THE UNDERPRIVILEGED AND IN A VISIBLE WAY SO

EVERYBODY SEES HOW NICE AND CARING WE ARE FOR THE

HOMELESS. AND I MEAN, THOSE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS. I THINK

SOMETIMES IT'S DONE IN SUCH A WAY NOW THAT IT ALMOST

BENDS ON WOKE. LIKE THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN BE A GOOD

CHRISTIAN IS TO GO HELP THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET. NOW

THAT'S IMPORTANT. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT IMPORTANT,

BUT SOMETIMES NOW IN THIS CULTURE, IT'S ALMOST AS A

WAY TO GIVE A PASS TO CERTAIN BEHAVIORS. WE HAVE

TO BE CAREFUL WE DON'T CROSS THE LINE, AND I DON'T WANT

TO GET IN TROUBLE SAYING THAT, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE HE

GETS US MOVEMENT HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT. YOU KNOW, IT'S

LET'S GIVE A PASS TO HOWEVER PEOPLE ARE. WE'RE NOT THERE

TO HEAL THEM AND HELP THEM. WE'RE JUST THERE TO PAT THEM

ON THE BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MISERY, AND I'M NOT

SAYING THAT DOESN'T HAVE ITS PLACE. IT HAS ITS PLACE, BUT

WE'RE ALSO PEOPLE THAT CONDONE THAT THERE ARE

CERTAIN WAYS OF DOING THINGS THAT NEVER COMMAND CHANGE. I

FOUND OUT WHEN I WAS FIRST SAVED THAT THE BIBLE IS A

BOOK THAT CONSTANTLY COMMANDS US TO CHANGE. IT'S

A CONSTANT CHANGING EVERY DAY, AND IT CAN'T BE THE

POINTING OF THE FINGER. IT HAS TO BE RIGHT WITHIN

OURSELVES. SO MEN ARE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES, COVETOUS.

COME ON, ALWAYS NEVER CONTENT. BOASTERS, ALWAYS

GOT TO TALK ABOUT OURSELVES, YOU KNOW. I'LL BE HONEST

WITH YOU, I TOLD SOMEBODY GOING OUT THE ARENA THE

OTHER DAY, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FAMILY PICTURES.

SOMEBODY REMINDED ME ABOUT A FRIEND OF OURS YEARS AND

YEARS AGO WHO DID SOME SELF-PORTRAITS OF OUR

FAMILY. LIKE SHE WAS AN ARTIST AND SHE DREW THESE

PORTRAITS. I'M LIKE, NO. THEY JUST, I DIDN'T LIKE

THEM. I NEVER HUNG THEM. I DIDN'T THINK THEY LOOKED

GOOD, YOU KNOW. AND THEY DID ONE OF MATT. WE DIDN'T HAVE

JOHN THEN, BUT MATT WAS JUST A LITTLE GUY. DO YOU GUYS

REMEMBER THOSE? THEY WERE SELF-PORTRAITS. WELL, THEY

NEVER MADE THE WALL. BUT I SAID, YOU KNOW, IN MY HOUSE,

I'M NOT ONE THAT'S BIG ON SELF-PORTRAITS, BECAUSE WE

SEE OURSELVES ALL THE TIME ONLINE. AND I'M LIKE, YOU

KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT LIKE, HERE'S ME IN THIS

ANGLE. NOW I'M OVER HERE. AND HERE'S ME, AND I, YOU

KNOW, I'M NOT INTO THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIKE TO-

AND IT'S OKAY. FAMILY MEMORIES, I GET ALL THOSE

THINGS. THEY'RE IMPORTANT. BUT BOASTERS, PEOPLE THAT

ALWAYS HAVE TO HERALD THEMSELVES. COME ON, THAT'S

PUFFED UP. IT'S AN ATTITUDE. BLASPHEMERS. MAN, WE'VE SEEN

A LOT OF THAT BLASPHEMY, THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAY

AGAINST JESUS. I CAN'T EVEN PUT WORDS TO IT. YOU CAN'T

EVEN SPEAK OF IT. IT'S SO VILE. DISOBEDIENT TO

PARENTS. COME ON, IF YOU'D IMAGINE IF MORE PEOPLE WOULD

HAVE AN OBEDIENCE TO THEIR PARENTS, HOW MUCH BETTER

SOCIETY WOULD BE. UNTHANKFUL. WE'VE SEEN A LOT

OF THAT, ESPECIALLY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

PEOPLE ARE UNHOLY WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION. WHAT THAT

MEANS IS THEY DON'T HAVE THE NORMAL CAPACITY FOR HUMAN

KINDNESS. THEY'RE CALLOUS. WE SAW THAT WITH THE

ASSASSINATION OF CHARLIE KIRK THIS WEEK. IT'S JUST A

COLD-HEARTED CALLOUSNESS WITHOUT ANY REAL

UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT OF WHAT IT MEANS TO TAKE A

HUMAN LIFE. SO NO NATURAL AFFECTION, WITHOUT NATURAL

AFFECTION OR THE NORMAL CAPACITY THAT GOD PUT IN ALL

OF US TO BE CONSIDERATE OR THOUGHTFUL OR CARING FOR OUR

FELLOW MAN. TRUCE BREAKERS, IN OTHER WORDS, CAN NEVER

KEEP THEIR WORD. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE. FALSE

ACCUSERS, ALWAYS POINTING THE FINGER AT SOMEBODY,

ALWAYS HAVING TO HAVE AN OPINION AND NEVER, NOTHING

IS EVER MY FAULT. CULTURE, OR I CAN'T TAKE

RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. I JUST HAVE TO POINT THE

FINGER AT SOMEBODY AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE

ALWAYS AT FAULT. YOU KNOW, CAN I TELL YOU THE MOST

IMPORTANT PRAYER WE COULD ALL PRAY ON ANY GIVEN DAY IS

TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND GO, "GOD, CHANGE ME. HELP ME

TO TALK BETTER. HELP ME TO BEHAVE DIFFERENT. HELP ME TO

ACT BETTER. I'M IN UNBELIEF. HELP MY WORDS, GOD, RATHER

THAN ALWAYS ACCUSE SOMEBODY OR BLAME SOMEBODY FOR WHY

THINGS ARE A CERTAIN WAY. INCONTINENT. NOW, THAT

DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE WEAR THE PINS. AGAIN, THESE KING

JAMES WORDS ARE KIND OF INTERESTING IN MODERN

CULTURE. IT MEANS TO HAVE A LACK OF SELF -CONTROL.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN

OUTBURST. IF YOU'RE MAD AND YOU'RE ON THE ROAD AND

SOMEBODY CUTS YOU OFF IN TRAFFIC, MAN, YOU'RE JUST

GOING TO LIGHT. AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS

THE POINT OF ROAD RAGE? YOU COULD BE- HAVE YOU

EVER FOUND YOURSELF YELLING IN THE CAR,

"COME ON, LADIES, SPEED UP! IF YOU GO ANY SLOWER, YOU

COULD WALK THE THING." [ LAUGHTER ] EVER FOUND

YOURSELF SAYING THOSE THINGS, AND THEN YOU'RE

LIKE, "BUT THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU. THE ONLY ONE THAT'S

HEARING YOU IS YOU. AND MAYBE THE DEVIL AND GOD,

BUT, YOU KNOW, AND GOD'S LIKE, 'OH, WHATEVER,

PLEASE.'" AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE POINT OF EVEN

GETTING UPSET? THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW. YOU KNOW, THAT

LITTLE OLD LADY IS DRIVING ALONG ON THE ROAD. SHE CAN'T

EVEN SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE HAS NO CLUE THAT

SHE MADE YOU MAD. YOU KNOW, BUT IT'S THIS CULTURE OF CRAZY.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS - AND SEE, YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST TOLD MYSELF.

I'M LIKE, WHY RAISE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE OVER A FOOL? OKAY?

I MEAN, YEAH, I'VE SAT THERE AND THOUGHT I MUMBLED UNDER

MY BREATH. I DON'T KNOW HOW SOME PEOPLE GET A DRIVER'S

LICENSE, BUT, BUT, BUT YOU KNOW, WHY GET UPSET OVER

THOSE THINGS? SELF-CONTROL. SELF-CONTROL IS A BIG ONE.

IN OTHER WORDS, HUSBANDS AND WIVES, THAT'S A BIG ONE IN

MARRIAGE. LEARNING SOME SELF-CONTROL. THERE'S A LOT

OF POWER TO SHUTTING UP, RIGHT? YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE

TO HAVE THE LAST SAY. NOW, BELIEVE ME, THIS IS A BIG

DEAL. THE KUNNEMANS ARE TALKERS, MAN. PASTOR AND I,

YOU KNOW, I WOULD CALL THEM EPIC ARGUMENTS AT THE

BEGINNING OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. AND THEN WE

REALIZED AS WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OLDER, THIS IS A LOT OF

TROUBLE. I MEAN, BY THE TIME IT'S DONE, YOU'RE UPSET,

YOU'RE CRYING, YOU'RE SWEATING. EVERYBODY MAD. THE

HOUSE IS TENSE. AND THEN WE BEGAN TO REALIZE, YOU KNOW,

IT'S SO MUCH BETTER TO GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. THAT'S

WHY THE BIBLE SAYS, "DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR

WRATH." YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU, AFTER YOU TURN 50, YOU

REALIZE SLEEP IS VALUABLE. IT'S VALUABLE. YOU KNOW,

WHEN WE WERE FIRST MARRIED, WE'D STAY UP UNTIL 2:33 IN

THE MORNING. WE, I MEAN, HAD ALL THIS ENERGY. IN FACT, WE

WERE TALKING LAST NIGHT GOING HOME IN THE CAR BACK

TO THE HOTEL. I SAID, "HONEY, YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE

WERE YOUNG?" I MEAN, WE'RE NOT THAT OLD, BUT YOUNG, 22,

23. I SAID, "REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, WE WOULD GO

TO CHURCH ALL NIGHT. CHURCH WOULD GET OUT AT 10 O'CLOCK,

AND WE'D GO DOWN INTO THE RESTAURANT, AND WE'D BE AT

THAT RESTAURANT TILL 12:30, JUST TALKING. AND THEN WE

WOULD GET BACK UP AT 6 IN THE MORNING AND GO TO THE 8

O'CLOCK PRAYER AT THE CONVENTION, AND WE'D BE

OUT." AND NOW WE'RE ALL LIKE, "WHAT TIME IS

SERVICE?" AND SO, YOU KNOW, SLEEP'S VALUABLE. SO YOU

REALIZE, YOU KNOW, WE COULD STAND UP AND ARGUE THIS OUT,

AND USUALLY 90% OF THE TIME NOBODY'S POINT REALLY GETS

MADE WELL. IN FACT, OKAY, CAN I TELL..

I'M TRYING NOT TO GET OFF TOPIC. BRENDA, STOP. BUT I

HAVE TO TELL, THIS IS A FUNNY ONE. SO I AM AT THE

NAIL SHOP. PASTOR CHRISSY TALKED ME INTO THIS NEW NAIL

PLACE TO GO GET OUR NAILS DONE. AND I'M SITTING IN

THERE AND THIS NEW SHOP HAS THESE SOAP OPERAS GOING.

NOW, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T HEAR EVERYTHING THAT'S

GETTING SAID. AND I NEVER WATCH SOAP OPERAS. I MEAN, I

THINK THEY'RE JUST TERRIBLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M SITTING

THERE WATCHING THIS. YOU KNOW, THEY HAD ONE WHODUNIT

ON DATELINE. I'M LIKE, "I'M LIKE HOPING THE LADY WON'T

GET MY NAIL DONE QUICK ENOUGH BEFORE I FIND OUT

WHO'S THE GUILTY, THE MURDERER WAS." BUT ANYWAY,

THESE SOAPS ARE GOING AND THIS SHOWS THIS MAN AND THIS

WOMAN GETTING IN AN ARGUMENT. I THINK THEY WERE

MARRIED OR SOMETHING. AND THEY GET IN AN ARGUMENT. AND

YOU EVER NOTICE ON TV THAT EVERYBODY THAT ARGUES, THEY

ALL GET TO FINISH THEIR SENTENCE. AND YOU WANT TO,

AND YOU WANT TO, AND YOU ARE, AND YOU SHOULDN'T,

YOU'RE SO SELFISH, AND THE HUSBAND'S JUST STANDING

THERE. AND THEN SHE GETS DONE AND THEN HE GOES. I'M

LIKE, AIN'T NO FIGHT GO ON LIKE THAT. EVERYBODY BE

TALKING OVER EVERYBODY. NOBODY LISTENS, RIGHT?

EVERYBODY'S MAD. SELF-CONTROL. YOU GET THE

PICTURE, RIGHT? SO WE NEED THAT. WE NEED NOT TO BE

INCONTINENT. SO NEXT TIME, REMEMBER, WHEN YOU'RE

FIGHTING, YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR TEMPER. PICTURE A BOX

OF DEPENDS. AND THEN YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED

TO HAVE SOME SELF-CONTROL. HALLELUJAH. FIERCE,

DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD. THE REASON THAT

CHARLIE KIRK WAS GUNNED DOWN WAS NOT JUST BECAUSE HE HAD

SOME POLITICAL BELIEFS, BECAUSE HE WAS A MAN THAT

LOVED JESUS CHRIST AND DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT HE WAS

A CHRISTIAN. COME ON, PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY'RE CHRISTIANS,

BUT HE BOLDLY STOOD FOR THE MORAL VALUE OF GOD'S WORD.

HE STOOD UP FOR THE MORAL PARAMETERS OF THE SCRIPTURE,

AND THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM AROSE. PEOPLE DON'T

WANT TO HEAR THAT. IT'S THE SAME WAY IN THE BIBLE. THE

REASON THAT THE DEMONS WOULD COME BEFORE JESUS WHEN JESUS

SPOKE BOLDLY AND AS A MAN WITH AUTHORITY, HE CAME

BEFORE THE CULTURE TALKING AND SAYING THINGS THE

CULTURE DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR, AND THE BIBLE SAID THEY

WOULD GNASH AT THEIR TEETH. THE BIBLE SAID THEY GNASHED

UPON STEPHEN WHEN THEY MARTYRED HIM BECAUSE THEY

COULD NOT LISTEN. THEY WERE SCREAMING WITH THEIR FINGERS

IN THEIR EARS BECAUSE HE SPOKE MORAL TRUTH. AND SO,

THIS IS THE CONDITION OF OUR CULTURES. , WHICH MEANS

RASH. THAT MEANS RASH DECISIONS, PEOPLE THAT DON'T

THINK AND PRAY BEFORE THEY ACT. HIGH-MINDED, LOVERS OF

PLEASURES. COME ON, SOMEBODY, MORE THAN LOVERS

OF GOD. THAT MEANS THAT THEY LOVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL LIFE

MORE THAN GOD'S. THE REASON A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T TITHE,

TO PASTOR GENE'S POINT EARLIER, IS THEY WOULD

RATHER INVEST IN NATURAL, TEMPORAL THINGS. YOU KNOW,

DON'T GET TO HEAVEN ONE DAY AND BE SORRY FOR WHAT YOU

DIDN'T DO HERE ON THE EARTH. WE GET ONE SHOT AT THIS,

OKAY? CHARLIE KIRK DID NOT KNOW THAT HE WOULD GO TO

HEAVEN ON SEPTEMBER THE 10TH. HE DID NOT KNOW THAT.

AND OF COURSE, WE BELIEVE AND STAND IN FAITH FOR LONG

LIFE, AND WE CAN'T ANSWER ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN

IN THE WORLD. I'LL TALK ABOUT TODAY, BUT THE REALITY

IS, IS HE DID NOT KNOW HIS LIFE WAS GOING TO END. WHAT

HE HAD DONE ON THIS EARTH IS ALL THAT MATTERED ON

WEDNESDAY. WE DON'T GET A ROUND TWO. WHEN WE GET TO

HEAVEN, WE CAN'T SAY, "WELL, YOU KNOW, GOD, I'M SORRY

ABOUT THAT. I SHOULD HAVE, I SHOULD HAVE, I WISH I WOULD

HAVE." WE GET ONE OPPORTUNITY, RIGHT? SO, THIS

IS SO IMPORTANT. HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS BUT

DENYING THE POWER THEREOF, WATCH THIS, FROM THESE TYPES

OF PEOPLE TURN AWAY. IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T BEND WITH

THEM. PASTOR TALKED ABOUT THAT SO MUCH LAST NIGHT. FOR

OF THIS SORT ARE THEY WHICH CREEP INTO HOUSES. NOW I

THOUGHT ABOUT OUR PHONES. YOU KNOW, BACK THEN WHEN YOU

WOULD THINK OF PEOPLE CREEPING INTO HOUSES BY WAY

OF SOMEBODY'S WINDOW, YOU KNOW, MEETING UP WITH THEM

SOMEWHERE. BUT IT SAYS "CREEP INTO HOUSES." I

THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE WAYS THE DEVIL GETS IN

OUR HOUSE IS THROUGH THESE DEVICES. OK, YOU KNOW GOOD

AND WELL YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE READ THAT FEED. YOU

SHOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED AT THAT STORY. YOU SHOULDN'T

HAVE SEEN ALL THOSE THINGS ON X. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE

TAKEN A CALL FROM THAT PERSON. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE

CALLED THAT PERSON. AND SO, IT SAYS, "FOR THESE ARE THE

TYPES THAT CREEP INTO HOMES." COME ON, WE GOT TO

PUT A GUARD AROUND THE PERIMETER OF OUR HOMES BY

WAY OF WHAT COMES IN ON OUR DEVICES, WHETHER IT BE THE

NEWS OR SOCIAL MEDIA. COME ON, THE DEVIL IS ENTERING

OUR HOUSES THROUGH THINGS CALLED SOCIAL MEDIA AND CELL

PHONES, AND MANY OF US ARE NOT RECOGNIZING — COME ON —

THAT THE ENEMY HAS GAINED ACCESS. IT'S LIKE GIVING HIM

THE KEYS TO YOUR HOUSE. OKAY, THERE IS THESE THINGS,

WE TALK ABOUT TELEVISION, BUT IT'S NOT TV ANYMORE.

IT'S THE JUNK THAT COMES THROUGH HERE. OKAY, I MEAN,

IT'S RIDICULOUS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OPEN. NOW,

FACEBOOK HAS IT WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY PUT THINGS IN

YOUR FEED YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR. AND SOME OF IT IS VILE

STUFF. YOU WANT MORE OF THIS? AND IF YOU DON'T CATCH

IT SOON ENOUGH, YOUR PAGE WILL BE FLOODED WITH SEWAGE.

AND SO, WE HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL. YOU KNOW, I'M

STARTING TO DO A CHECK ON MYSELF. I'M NOT LOOKING AS

MUCH AT SOCIAL. YOU KNOW, WHEN I'VE CHECKED ON THE

CHARLIE KIRK STUFF, I WOULD TAKE ONE LITTLE QUICK LOOK

AT THE FOX NEWS AND JUST SEE IF THERE WAS ANY KEY UPDATES

ON THE ASSASSIN. BUT I'M TRYING TO BE MORE AND MORE

CAREFUL NOT TO BE SCROLLING DOWN THINGS THAT REALLY

DON'T MATTER. I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO GET TO HEAVEN ONE

DAY. AND HOW MUCH TIME ON SOCIAL? WELL, GOD, YOU KNOW,

I SPENT ALL THIS TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO, I KNOW

THAT'S SOMBER, BUT IT'S TRUE. I MEAN, CREEPING INTO

HOUSES AND LEAD CAPTIVE SILLY WOMEN. I THOUGHT,

"LORD, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?" SILLY WOMEN, PROBABLY

BECAUSE MORE WOMEN ARE ON SOCIAL THAN MEN. LADIES,

LET'S JUST WEAR THAT SHOE. LAYTON WAS SIN, LED AWAY

WITH DIVERSE LUSTS, EVER LEARNING. NOW THIS IS

TALKING TO ME ABOUT, IN MY MIND, ABOUT THE LIBERAL LEFT

AND ALL OF THESE HUMANISTIC INSTITUTIONS, EVER LEARNING

AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.

FOR NOW AS JANICE AND JAMBRES, THESE WERE THE

MAGICIANS IN THE DAYS OF PHARAOH, WITHSTOOD MOSES, SO

DO THESE ALSO RESIST THE TRUTH. OK, THAT'S WHY

CHARLIE KIRK WAS KILLED, BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE

RESISTING THE TRUTH. FROM A MAN THAT JUST SAID, "I WANT

TO HAVE A CONVERSATION. CAN WE HAVE DIALOGUE?" NO, WHEN

BLM WAS MARCHING OUR STREETS IN 2020, THERE WAS NOT GOING

TO BE ANY DIALOGUE. WE WEREN'T GOING TO FIND OUT

WHAT THE COURTS WERE GOING TO SAY ABOUT GEORGE FLOYD'S

DEATH. WE WEREN'T GOING TO WAIT FOR ANY REAL FACTS. NO,

WE WERE JUST GOING TO GET OUT THERE, BE HEADY, HAVE NO

SELF-CONTROL, HAVE NO RASH ABILITY TO THINK THROUGH

ANYTHING, AND JUST TAKE PEOPLE'S WORDS FOR IT, AND

THROW BRICKS THROUGH BUILDINGS, BURN DOWN

PEOPLE'S BUSINESSES. COME ON, DESTROY PEOPLE'S LIVES.

AND THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE MURDERED IN THE STREETS IN

THE NAME OF BLACK LIVES MATTER. THEY RESIST THE

TRUTH. PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION

ABOUT RACISM, AND REALLY BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK

AS, COME ON, CIVILIZED ADULTS, PEOPLE. WHERE DID

THAT GO? REASONABLE SPEAKING. THIS IS THE

CULTURE WE'RE LIVING IN. AM I HELPING YOU THIS MORNING?

THIS IS THE ROOM, THE ATMOSPHERE. REPROBATE

CONCERNING THE FAITH. WE SAW THAT WEDNESDAY. BUT HERE'S

THE GOOD NEWS, THEY'LL PROCEED NO FURTHER. DIVINE

EXTINCTIONS ARE ON THE WAY. AND THEIR FOLLY, THIS IS

WHAT WE'RE SEEING THAT THE PASTOR'S BEEN PROPHESYING,

THEIR FOLLY SHALL BE SEEN OR MANIFEST TO ALL MEN EVEN AS

IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF EGYPT. AND THAT'S THE NARRATIVE

THAT PASTOR HANK HAS BEEN PREACHING, THAT IS IN THE

DAYS OF EGYPT THE WAY IT WAS, SO WE'LL SEE IT AGAIN.

SO ALL OF IT, COME ON SOMEBODY, IS ABOUT TO BE

EXPOSED AND THEY'LL BE LAID BARE BEFORE THE WORLD TO SEE

THE REAL MOTIVE OF THEIR HEART. SO IN THE MIDDLE OF

DANGEROUS TIMES, THERE'S GOOD THINGS. BUT WATCH THIS

NOW, DOWN TO VERSE 10, BUT PAUL GOES ON TO SAY TO YOUNG

PASTOR TIMOTHY, YOU SHOULD HAVE FULLY KNOWN MY

DOCTRINE, MY MANNER OF LIFE, MY PURPOSE, MY FAITH, MY

LONG-SUFFERING CHARITY, PATIENCE, PERSECUTIONS,

SOMEBODY SAY PERSECUTIONS, AFFLICTIONS WHICH CAME UNTO

ME AT ANTIOCH AND ICONIUM AND LYSTRA, WHAT

PERSECUTIONS I ENDURED, BUT OUT OF THEM ALL THE LORD

DELIVERED ME. NOW WE SEE HOW MANY TIMES PAUL WAS

DELIVERED FROM THE HAND, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A

LITTLE BIT MORE TOO, BUT HERE'S THE REAL VERSE I WANT

TO GET TO. "YEA OR YES, ALL," SOMEBODY SAY ALL. "ALL

THAT WILL LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS," AND GODLY

ISN'T JUST PERSONAL HOLINESS, IT'S A GODLY

TESTIMONY, IT'S A GODLY POSITION, IT'S A GODLY STAND

FOR WHAT YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN. OK, IT'S GODLINESS AT

THE JOB, RIGHT? IT'S GODLINESS AMONG YOUR FAMILY

THAT SPEAKS TRUTH, EVEN THOUGH YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS

AND RELATIVES MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. ALL THAT

LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION.

AND THIS IS THE PART I WANT TO HONE IN ON. I WANT TO

TALK ABOUT FIVE RESPONSES WE ARE TO HAVE IN TIMES OF

PERSECUTION AND HOW GOD RESPONDS TO THOSE. BUT ALL

THAT LIVE GODLY — NOW THIS IS A NEW TOPIC IN MANY

RESPECTS IN THE UNITED STATES. WE'VE FINALLY BEGUN

OVER THE LAST MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW, FIVE, SIX, EIGHT YEARS

BEGAN TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT THE TOPIC OF PERSECUTION.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES WE'VE BEEN IN SORT OF IN THE

UNITED STATES WHAT I WOULD CALL THE GREEN ZONE OF

PERSECUTION. PERSECUTION IS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY

DISAGREED WITH US AT WORK ON WHETHER THE BIBLE IS TRULY

THE WORD OF GOD. AND WE SEE PERSECUTION IN SUCH A WAY

WHERE THIS HAS NOT BEEN FOR REALLY MOST OF AMERICA'S

HISTORY HAS NOT BEEN A RED ZONE COUNTRY FOR HEAVY

PERSECUTION. BUT I BELIEVE IN THE CHURCH IN THIS

NATION. I BELIEVE WE HAVE RISEN TO THE OCCASION AS

PERSECUTION HAS GROWN. I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY, "OH,

AMERICAN CHRISTIANS, THEY'LL BE THE FIRST TO COWER IF

PERSECUTION COMES ON." I THOUGHT, "NO, THAT'S NOT

TRUE. THEY JUST HAVEN'T SEEN THE SLEEPING GIANT HAVE THE

OPPORTUNITY TO STAND UP BEFORE PERSECUTION." AND I

AM WATCHING THE CHURCH ARISE IN THIS COUNTRY IN WAYS

WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. SO PERSECUTION COMES TO

EVERYONE, AND IT'S SORT OF A NEWER TOPIC, BUT I BELIEVE

WE'VE KIND OF GONE FROM THE GREEN ZONE TO KIND OF THE

YELLOW ZONE OF WHAT I WOULD CALL THE PERSECUTION

TEMPERATURE CHECK IN THIS NATION. THINGS ARE BEGINNING

TO GET HEIGHTENED AND HEATED. THEY'RE ATTACKING

BAKE SHOPS AND FLOWER SHOPS, PEOPLE THAT WON'T MAKE, YOU

KNOW, DECORATIONS FOR A GAY WEDDING. THEY'RE COMING

AGAINST CHURCHES IF THEY DARE SPEAK AGAINST

TRANSGENDERISM. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ORDINANCES IN THIS

VERY CITY THAT YOU CAN'T TELL PEOPLE WHAT BATHROOM TO

USE IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT. SO WE ARE IN A YELLOW ZONE

NOW. SO NOW IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT HOW DID THE EARLY

CHURCH RESPOND IN PERSECUTION. AND BY THE WAY,

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND SOME TIME IN YOUR

BIBLE STUDY TIME STUDYING THE FIRST HALF AND THEN EVEN

THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK OF ACTS. THE PATTERN FOR THE

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH IS STILL IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

SO LET'S LOOK AT A FEW OF THESE THINGS. THIS IS ALL

FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS, THE EARLY APOSTLES, THEY ARE MY

HEROES. AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE OF THESE

THINGS ON HOW TO REACT AND RESPOND IN TIMES OF

PERSECUTION. NUMBER ONE, BE RESOLUTE IN KNOWING AND

STANDING FOR THE TRUTH. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW THE

TRUTH, WE HAVE TO STAND FOR THE TRUTH. LET ME READ A

SCRIPTURE TO YOU. THIS IS FROM ACTS 4 WHEN THE

APOSTLES WERE PERSECUTED OVER THE MAN AT THE GATE,

BEAUTIFUL. SAID ACTS 4, 18 THROUGH 20, "AND THEY CALLED

THEM AND COMMANDED THEM." THESE ARE THE GOVERNMENTS OF

THE DAY. "THEY CALLED AND COMMANDED THEM," OR GAVE

THEM A MANDATE YOU COULD SAY, "NOT TO SPEAK AT ALL,

NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT, NOR TEACH IN THE NAME OF JESUS."

NOW, UNDERSTAND FOR A MOMENT THE NARRATIVE OF THE DAY

HERE. THE NARRATIVE OF THAT TIME WAS THAT JESUS NEVER

WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD. MATTHEW 28, YOU CAN GO BACK

AND READ IT. IT SAYS IN MATTHEW THE 28TH CHAPTER

THAT THEY SAID THEY PAID OFF THE, THEY PAID OFF THE

SOLDIERS, AND THEY TOLD THE SOLDIERS, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

JUST GO AND SAY THAT HIS DISCIPLES STOLE THE BODY AT

NIGHT, AND IF THE GOVERNOR QUESTIONS IT, WE'LL GET

BEHIND IT. WE'LL SPREAD THIS." AND THIS IS THE

NARRATIVE THAT HE WAS NEVER RAISED. THE CONSPIRACY IS

THAT THEY MADE IT TO BE CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT JESUS

WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD. AND SO, THEY SAID, "TELL

EVERYBODY, JUST SPREAD THAT AROUND, THAT JESUS NEVER WAS

RAISED, HIS BODY WAS ONLY EVER STOLEN, AND THAT, YOU

KNOW, THEY MADE THIS WHOLE THING UP." AND THE SCRIPTURE

DECLARES, I BELIEVE IT'S LIKE VERSE 19 OR RIGHT IN

THERE, MATTHEW 28, IT SAYS THAT, "AND IT WAS COMMONLY

REPORTED," IN OTHER WORDS, THE MEDIA NARRATIVE OF THAT

TIME WAS THAT JESUS WAS NEVER RAISED. SO IT MAKES

SENSE NOW WHEN YOU GO INTO THE BOOK OF ACTS THAT THE

BELIEF ON THE STREET WAS, RIGHT, THAT THIS WAS ALL A

MADE-UP FAIRY TALE THAT THIS PROPHET FROM GALILEE THAT

WAS KILLED AND TREATED AS A CRIMINAL. IT WAS MADE THAT

HE WAS A CRIMINAL AND THAT HE NEVER RAISED AND THAT

THIS WAS THE COMMON BELIEF ON THE STREET. SO FOR THE

APOSTLES TO STAND AND PREACH IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND

THEN HEAL A MAN AT THE GAY BEAUTIFUL. THIS MAN GETS

HEALED AND THEY'RE LIKE, "WELL, HOW DO WE EXPLAIN

THAT?" WE'RE GOING TO SEE ONE OF THE SIGNS UNDER

PERSECUTION IS AN INCREASE OF SIGNS AND WONDERS AND

MIRACLES. AND SO, THAT WAS THE BELIEF ON THE STREETS,

SO NOW IT MAKES MORE SENSE WHY THEY SAID, "NO, YOU WILL

NOT BE ALLOWED." SO THEY GO FROM, "WELL, WE CAN'T

CONTROL THEM," TO, "WE'LL ASSASSINATE YOU." "ARE YOU

TRACKING WITH ME?" "IF WE CAN'T DEAL WITH WHAT YOU'RE

SAYING, WE WANT TO TAKE YOU OUT." IT'S WHAT WE SAW ON

WEDNESDAY. AND THEY CALLED THEM AND COMMANDED OR

MANDATED THEM — THERE WAS NO LAW IN PLACE, IT WAS A

MANDATE. OKAY, WE LEARNED A LOT FROM 2020 TO 2022. AND

COMMANDED THEM NOT TO SPEAK AT ALL. YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT

ABOUT THIS THING. YOU HAVE TO WALK IN WITH THOSE MASKS

INTO THE GROCERY STORE. REMEMBER THAT? AND THEY'D

HAVE SOMEBODY AT A TABLE SITTING THERE, RIGHT AT THE

FRONT OF THE GROCERY STORE. AND IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A

MASK, THEY WOULD SEND YOU PACKING BACK OUT. AND THEN

YOU THINK, OKAY, WELL, I GOT TO GET FOOD. I MEAN, I'M

GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE. I MEAN, AND THANK GOD

THEY DID DO A LOT OF ONLINE SHOPPING, WHICH I MEAN, I

DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER GONE BACK. I MEAN, THAT WAS THE

BEST THING THAT EVER CAME OUT OF COVID. I'M LIKE,

GLORY BE TO GOD. YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY DELIVERED THE

GROCERIES TO THE FRONT PORCH. I'M LIKE, WHOO, I'M

GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE. BUT YOU KNOW, I

THOUGHT WE HAD TO WALK IN WITH THOSE THINGS. IMAGINE

WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED, AND THEN THEY HAD THOSE DOTS

ON THE AISLE THAT YOU HAD TO GO ONE WAY. DID Y'ALL

REMEMBER THAT? I MEAN, SOME OF US ARE DIRECTIONALLY

DISABLED. I'D BE LIKE HALFWAY DOWN WITH MY

SHOPPING CART HERE, GOING DOWN THE AISLE, AND SOMEBODY

IS — IT'S ALL SUPPOSED TO BE ONE WAY, AND THEN I REALIZE

I PASSED THE NOODLES. AND I'M LIKE, "THE NOODLES ARE

THREE FEET BEHIND ME." "YOU REALLY THINK I'M GOING TO GO

ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE END, CIRCLE ALL THE WAY BACK

AROUND AND NO, I JUST TURN AROUND AND GO BACK TO THE

NOODLES?" AND THEN PEOPLE BE LOOKING AT YOU LIKE

VULTURES. "HOW DARE YOU?" I'M LIKE, "I'M GETTING SOME

NOODLES." AND IT WAS CRAZY. I WAS MIXED UP IN THOSE %

THE ENTIRE TIME THEY DID IT. AND I FINALLY JUST THOUGHT,

I THOUGHT, "FORGET ALL YOU. I'M GOING TO SHOP FOR

SPAGHETTI SAUCE HOWEVER I WANT TO COME GET IT." BUT

THIS FOOLISHNESS, I MEAN, BUT IMAGINE, MY POINT IS, IF

EVERYBODY WOULD HAVE SAID, "WE'RE NOT DOING IT," OKAY,

THERE CAME A POINT. NOW WHEN WE FIRST PUT THE MASK ON,

EVERYBODY THOUGHT, "OKAY, WELL, MAYBE THERE'S SOME

MEDICAL THING. IT'S GOING TO HELP." YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T

KNOW. YOU KNOW, NONE OF US HAVE MEDICAL DEGREES, MOST

OF US. YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT

THING. WE'RE GOOD, DECENT PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT OUR

FELLOW MAN. SO THEN WE THOUGHT WHEN THEY SAID,

"WELL, MASKS ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP." AND, BUT YOU KNOW, WE

ALL GOT A LITTLE SMARTER. YOU KNOW, YOU WALK INTO THAT

SAME GROCERY STORE, YOU SMELL FRIED CHICKEN AT THE

DELI, AND YOU REALIZE THAT FRIED CHICKEN IS COMING

THROUGH THAT MASK. AND THEN YOU'D SEE SOME GUY — SO YOU

KNOW IF FRIED CHICKEN'S COMING IN, STUFF'S GOING

OUT. AND THEN YOU'D SEE SOME DUDE OVER THERE RUBBING HIS

MASK AND THEN TOUCHING THE TOMATOES, AND YOU'RE LIKE,

"HMM, SOMETHING WRONG HERE." AND THEN WHEN THEY STARTED

PRINTING ON THE MASK, THE MASK BOXES, "NOT MEANT TO

PREVENT ANY DISEASE. NOT ABLE." AND THEY STILL MADE

US WEAR IT! COME ON, AT THAT POINT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN

A REVOLT! HAD ONE OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS THAT'S HERE

AT THIS ARENA SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE MADE IN THE

POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE MASK ON RELIGIOUSLY, DO IT

ALL THE RIGHT WAY, AND HE SAID WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK

HE GOT COVID. BECAUSE I WORE THE MASK. SO THESE WERE

MANDATES. MANDATES ARE NOT LAWS, PEOPLE. BUT WHAT

HAPPENS IF WE DON'T STAND UP TO THE MANDATE? THAT IS

WRONG, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S UNBIBLICAL. IF WE DON'T

STAND UP TO THE MANDATE, THEY'LL EVENTUALLY LEGISLATE

IT. AND THEN WE'RE FIGHTING WHAT NOW HAS BECOME THE LAW.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEIR HOPE WAS HERE TODAY. ALL RIGHT,

LET ME GO QUICKLY. BUT PETER AND JOHN ANSWERED AND SAID

UNTO THEM, "IS IT RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD TO HEARKEN

TO YOU OR TO GOD YOU DECIDE?" BUT WE, AS FOR US,

ARE NOT GONNA OBEY THAT. WE CANNOT HELP BUT SPEAK THE

THINGS THAT WE HAVE KNOWN, AND YOU COULD TRANSLATE IT

THIS WAY, THAT WE HAVE KNOWN ARE TRUE. COME ON, WE CAN'T

STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW IS THE TRUTH. SO LET ME

SAY IT LIKE THIS, FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE TO IN THIS

GENERATION KNOW WHAT'S TRUE. KNOW THE TRUTH. WE'RE LIVING

IN A CULTURE NOW — I WAS TALKING WITH PASTOR MATT

ABOUT THIS A LITTLE WHILE AGO — A CULTURE THAT'S FOR

THE MOST PART BIBLICALLY ILLITERATE. BUT WE CAN

CHANGE THAT. MILLENNIALS, GEN ZERS, YOU CAN CHANGE

THAT. IF PEOPLE KNEW THE TRUTH OF THE SCRIPTURE, AND

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST KNOWING THE PROMISES FOR MY

PERSONAL HARDSHIP. I'M TALKING ABOUT KNOWING THE

SCRIPTURE ON WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT MORALS. COME ON, ON

WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE. I

HAVE A LITTLE SHEET OF PAPER THAT I KEEP IN MY BIBLE WITH

THE BASIC TENETS OF THE FAITH. VARY FROM KNOWING

WHAT THE TRUTH IS. THE REASON PASTORS STARTED

MARRYING HOMOSEXUALS IS THEY GOT AWAY FROM THE BASIC

MORAL STANDARDS OF THE BIBLE AND BEGAN TO BEND TO THE

CULTURE, THINKING THEY WERE BEING HELPFUL. KNOW AND

STAND FOR THE TRUTH, AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVED ABOUT

CHARLIE KIRK, HE WOULD STAND FOR THE TRUTH, OKAY, THEY

SHOWED THIS CLIP OF THIS YOUNG WOMAN THAT CAME UP TO

DEBATE HIM AND THEY HAD TO BLUR IT OUT, HER TOP WAS

HALF DOWN, SHE WAS ARGUING WITH HIM, THEY BLURRED IT, I

MEAN SHE DID THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THIS MAN, AND YOU

KNOW, AND THEY DO THAT TO GET A REACTION, RIGHT,

THINKING WELL YOU'RE GOING TO GET INTIMIDATED, OH MY

GOSH I SAW A WOMAN'S BREASTS I GOTTA GO, AND HE JUST

STOOD THERE LIKE IT WASN'T HAPPENING. HE WAS RESOLUTE

ON STANDING FOR THE TRUTH AND THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE

DIDN'T LIKE. SO IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION WE TAKE OUR

EXAMPLE FROM THE EARLY APOSTLES THAT THEY STOOD FOR

THE TRUTH AND MORAL TRUTH, FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE. I WOULD

ENCOURAGE YOU, GET TO KNOW, THAT'S WHY I SAY READ THE BOOK

OF ACTS. GET TO KNOW THE BASIC TENETS OF THE FAITH. SO THAT

WHEN SOMEBODY CHALLENGES WHAT YOU BELIEVE, THE BIBLE SAYS WE

OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE AN ANSWER FOR THE HOPE THAT'S

WITHIN US. SOMEBODY SAID AT PASTOR GENE ON FLASHPOINT

THAT WE NEED, MAYBE IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS LANCE WHO SAID, "WE

NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE A CHART, THAT CAN PRESENT APOLOGETICS."

BY THE WAY, APOLOGETICS DOESN'T MEAN I'M APOLOGIZING. IT

MEANS I'M GIVING A VALUABLE FACTUAL ARGUMENT THAT I CAN

SHOW YOU FACTUAL TRUTH, NOT ONLY FROM SCRIPTURE, BUT

JUST THE BASIC LOGIC OF TRUTH THAT I CAN PRESENT IT.

OK? HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE BIG TEXTBOOK, "EVIDENCE

DEMANDS A VERDICT"? JOSH MCDOWELL WROTE THAT. YOU

OUGHT TO READ THAT. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU. I MEAN,

IT'S A BIG READ, BUT YOU OUGHT TO LOOK INTO IT. IT'LL

GRAB YOU IN FROM THE BEGINNING. THAT WE KNOW WHY

WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE, AND WE'LL NEVER ERR FROM IT.

THE REASON PEOPLE WILL BE DECEIVED IN THE LAST DAYS IS

BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR TRUTH.

AMEN. ALL RIGHT, NUMBER TWO, IF YOU WANT TO STAND IN

TIMES OF PERSECUTION, STAY CLOSE TO THE FAMILY OF GOD.

ACTS 4:23, "AND BEING LET GO," SOMEBODY QUOTED THAT

Acts 4:23

THIS WEEK AS WELL, "BEING LET GO, THEY WENT TO THEIR

OWN COMPANY." SOMEBODY SAY "OWN COMPANY." "AND THEY

REPORTED ALL THAT THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE ELDERS HAD

SAID UNTO THEM." IN OTHER WORDS, THEY HAD TO GET WITH

PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE CONFERENCES LIKE THIS ARE SO

IMPORTANT. AND ALL OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE,

MANY OF OUR E-MEMBERS AROUND THE WORLD, SOME OF YOU EVEN

CAME UP IN THE BOOK TABLE, SAID WE GO TO OUR OWN CHURCH

ON A SUNDAY AND THEN WE TUNE IN TO LORD OF HOSTS, IS

GETTING AROUND PEOPLE OF LIKE-MINDED FAITH. WE NEED

EACH OTHER. OK, WE MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE. PEOPLE MIGHT

IRRITATE YOU, RIGHT? SOMETIMES THAT'S THE WAY

LIFE IS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS SOME GOOFY THINGS

THAT GO ON IN CHURCHES. THAT'S JUST PART OF BEING

PEOPLE, BUT WE NEED EACH OTHER. AND BEING LET GO,

THEY WENT TO THEIR OWN COMPANY. HEBREWS 10:25, "IN

Hebrews 10:25

THE LAST DAYS, DON'T FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES

TOGETHER, AS THE HABIT OF SOME IS, BUT EXHORTING ONE

ANOTHER, AND DO IT EVEN MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY

APPROACHING." COME ON, THAT WHOLE PASSAGE IN HEBREWS 10

IS ABOUT ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER TO FINISH OUR RACE.

YOU KNOW, I HEARD A STORY ONE TIME, I DON'T REMEMBER

IF I READ THIS IN FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS, BUT BY THE WAY,

YOU OUGHT TO READ THAT BOOK TOO. IT WAS SOMEWHERE, AND

ANYWAY, IT WAS A STORY OF THIS LADY WHO HAD BEEN IN

PRISON, IT WAS IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY, SHE'D BEEN IN

PRISON FOR HER FAITH, AND PUT IN THIS PRISON, THEY HAD

THIS OUTDOOR PRISON AREA BEHIND THESE BIG BARBED WIRE

FENCES WHERE THEY LET SOME OF THE PRISONERS OUT. AND IN

OTHER COUNTRIES, THEY DON'T HAVE LIKE CUSHY PRISONS.

THESE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE IN THERE WITH RATS

AND, YOU KNOW, FILTH AND GIVING CHICKEN BONES FOR

SCRAPS AND ALL OF THESE THINGS. AND SHE'S IN THIS

PRISON. WELL, THEY HAD A SPACE WHERE FAMILY MEMBERS

COULD COME. THEY DIDN'T LIKE SIT DOWN AND TALK TO THEIR

FAMILY MEMBERS THROUGH SOME JAIL SPEAKER. THEY WERE ABLE

TO COME VIEW THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS OUT IN THE OPEN YARD

FROM A DISTANCE. AND THIS WOMAN'S HUSBAND SEES HER OUT

THERE, AND SHE'S FRAIL, AND HE KNOWS THAT SHE'S BEEN

TREATED POORLY, BUT SHE'S IN THERE FOR HER STAND FOR THE

GOSPEL AND HER STAND FOR JESUS CHRIST, AND HE'S

CRYING, "HONEY, HONEY," AND HE'S CRYING, "I'M SO SORRY."

AND SHE POINTED HER FINGER UP. SHE SAID, "YOU STOP IT

RIGHT NOW. IT IS A PRIVILEGE FOR ME TO BE HERE. I AM HERE

ON THE BEHALF AS AN AMBASSADOR OF THE LORD JESUS

CHRIST. WE SHOULD BE REJOICING AS THE EARLY

APOSTLES THAT WE GET MADE TO BE MARTYRS AND OUTCASTS FOR

THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. PASTOR SHANE AND CHRISSY

REMINDED ME THEY WERE TALKING TO THEIR TWO

DAUGHTERS ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO PUT YOUR LIFE ON

THE LINE FOR THE GOSPEL. AND YOU KNOW, PASTOR CHRISSY,

SHE'S A LITTLE LIKE ME. SHE'S VERY COMPASSIONATE

WITH HER GIRLS. SHE'S FINALLY LIKE, I DON'T KNOW

IF IT WAS KATIE OR ALI OR WHICH ONE OF THEM SAID IT.

WAS IT KATIE? HELP ME IF I SAID IT WRONG. BUT SHE GOES,

"WELL, KATIE, SOMETIMES THAT'S JUST WHAT IT MEANS.

IF YOU HAVE TO DIE FOR JESUS, IT IS WHAT IT IS. YOU

GO TO HEAVEN. AMEN." [LAUGHTER] OKAY, MOM. I

GUESS THAT'S HOW IT GOES. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S

AN ELEMENT WE GOT TO GET SOME TOUGHNESS. WE GOT TO

GROW A BACKBONE. WE GOT TO REALIZE, COME ON, CHARLIE

KIRK IS NOT SORRY HE'S IN HEAVEN TODAY. HE IS IN

HEAVEN. HE'S IN A BETTER PLACE. YEAH, WE MOURN FOR

PEOPLE HERE ON THE EARTH. BUT COME ON, SOMEBODY, LIFE

IS SHORT. WE LIVE 70, 80, 90 YEARS AND IT'S ALL OVER.

SOME OF US ARE ALREADY HALFWAY OR BETTER THERE AND

WE'RE GOING TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE GOING, "YOU KNOW

WHAT? ALL THE THINGS WE MADE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT ON

THIS EARTH ARE NOT GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL. JESUS IS

GOING TO WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM OUR EYES." THAT'S WHY I

DON'T MESS WITH YOUR SALVATION. NOBODY WANTS TO

WAKE UP IN HELL. WE NEED EACH OTHER. THAT LITTLE LADY

STOOD UP TO HER HUSBAND. SHE SAID, "YOU GO HOME SMILING.

I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE MASTER." I THOUGHT, "GOD,

MAKE ME LIKE THAT." THREE, PRAY FOR SUPERNATURAL

BOLDNESS, ACTS 4:29-31, IF THEY COULD PUT THAT UP. ACTS

Acts 4:29–31 Acts 4:29–31

4:29-31. YOU COULD GO BACK TO 29, THANK YOU. "AND NOW,

LORD, BEHOLD THEIR THREATENINGS, AND GRANT,"

YOU CAN PRAY FOR BOLDNESS, "GRANT UNTO THY SERVANTS

THAT WITH ALL BOLDNESS THEY MAY SPEAK THY WORD. BY

STRETCHING FORTH YOUR HAND TO HEAL, THAT SIGNS AND

WONDERS WOULD BE DONE BY THE NAME OF THE HOLY CHILD

JESUS." KEEP GOING. "AND WHEN THEY HAD PRAYED, THE

PLACE WAS SHAKEN WHERE THEY WERE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER, AND

THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST." AND WHAT?

"SPOKE THE WORD WITH BOLDNESS." EVERY DAY IN YOUR

PRAYER TIME YOU OUGHT TO SAY, "GOD, GRANT ME SOME

BOLDNESS. AND BY THE WAY, BOLDNESS DOESN'T JUST MEAN

BE SNARKY AND MEAN AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN WE'RE ALL

DIFFERENT. I GET THAT. BUT WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE

SOME CONFIDENCE THAT WHEN WE ARE PRESSED FOR SOMETHING,

COME ON, IF WE ARE HAVING TO SIT THERE ON OUR WORKPLACE

AND HOLD UP DEI AND HOMOSEXUALITY AND GIVE PLACE

IN THE WORKPLACE, THEN MAYBE WE HAVE OUR BOLDNESS MEANS

TO BE, "I CAN'T WORK HERE. WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M

GOING TO PAY MY MORTGAGE. I DON'T EITHER, BUT YOU KNOW

WHAT I BELIEVE? I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU." ONE OF GOD'S

RESPONSES IS IN THE EARLY CHURCH WHEN THEY PUT THEIR

LIFE ON THE LINE FOR THE GOSPEL. THE BIBLE SAID NOT

ONE OF THEM LACKED. AND WHEN WE — COME ON, I'VE SEEN IT

WHERE EVERY TIME WE HAVE HAD TO PUT OUR NOSE OUT THERE,

GOD HAS BLESSED US. SO, PRAY FOR BOLDNESS. IN FACT,

FATHER, I PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR EVERY PERSON UNDER THE SOUND

OF MY VOICE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A NEW SUPERNATURAL HOLY

BOLDNESS TO STAND FOR YOUR WORD AND MORAL TRUTH. THE

CONFIDENCE THAT EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO MAKE SACRIFICES,

THAT FATHER, THEY WILL BE ABLE IN THEIR SPHERE OF

INFLUENCE TO BE BOLD AND TRUST YOU IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN. SO THE KEY IS THEY ASKED FOR BOLDNESS, THEY

ASKED FOR MIRACLES IN THIS PASSAGE, BUT THEN THEY SPOKE

WITH BOLDNESS. THE PRAYER TO ASK FOR BOLDNESS WAS

ANSWERED. THIS IS IMPORTANT, I'VE ALREADY KIND OF TOUCHED

ON IT, IS STAY RIGHT WITH GOD. YOU KNOW THE FUN THING

ABOUT THE BOOK OF ACTS IS ALL THESE MIRACLES AND

BOLDNESS AND THINGS THAT HAPPEN, AND THEN GOD PLANTS

THE STORY OF ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA IN THERE. AND THEY

LIED TO THE HOLY GHOST. BY THE WAY, LYING IS ONE OF THE

MOST EGREGIOUS SINS OF SCRIPTURE. LISTED IN THE

BOOK OF REVELATION, THAT THOSE WHO HABITUALLY LIE

WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. ALL LIARS WILL

HAVE THEIR PART, REVELATION 8, IN THE LAKE THAT BURNS

WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE SO SOBERING

ABOUT IT THIS MORNING, I'M JUST SAYING THESE ARE

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW. ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA, THAT

STORY IS IN THERE FOR A REASON. THE BIBLE SAID AT

THAT POINT GREAT FEAR CAME ON ALL THE CHURCH AFTER IT

HAPPENED AND PEOPLE GOT THEIR LIFE RIGHT. AMEN. IT'S

NOT ABOUT JUST BEING RELIGIOUS, BUT IT'S ABOUT

BEING OBEDIENT TO GOD. HEBREWS 3:13, "BUT EXHORT

Hebrews 3:13

ONE ANOTHER." TOUCH YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "I'M

EXHORTING YOU RIGHT NOW." DO IT EVERY DAY, COME ON, LEST

ANY OF YOU BECOME HARDENED THROUGH THE DECEITFULNESS OF

SIN. COME ON, SIN IS A DECEIVER. YOU DON'T THINK

YOU'RE DOING ANYTHING WRONG. THAT'S THE WAY SIN IS. YOU

THINK, "OH NO, I'M ALRIGHT." YOU KNOW, THE DEVIL DOESN'T

JUST SHOW UP AND HOLD UP A PITCHFORK, KNOCK ON YOUR

DOORBELL AND YOUR RING DOORBELL AND STAND OUT THERE

WITH POINTY HORNS AND SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT? COMMIT

ADULTERY." MOST OF THEM SAY, "GET OUT OF HERE. HOW DARE

YOU?" NO, HE SNEAKS AND CREEPS AND WORKS, AND WORKS

ANGLES WITH THINGS, AND LOOKS FOR LITTLE WAYS TO

SNEAK IN. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THAT MAY BE THE

TEMPTATION. I'M SAYING, BUT ANYTHING, MOST PEOPLE THAT

FALL INTO THINGS THINK THEY WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING

AT THE TIME. SO EXHORT ONE ANOTHER DAILY. YOU KNOW IF A

FELLOW CHRISTIAN COMES UP TO YOU AND SAYS, "BUCK UP,

BUTTERCUP." DON'T GET MAD AT THEM, WELL THEY WERE JUST

INSENSITIVE. MAYBE THEY WERE, YOU KNOW. I MEAN TO BE

HONEST WITH YOU, THE BOYS TALKING ABOUT MAMA'S

DISCIPLINE AND SAYING, "OH, HUG YOURSELF." YOU KNOW, I

MEAN MY DAD, OKAY, I'VE TOLD THIS STORY, LORD KNOWS IT,

BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVEN'T HEARD IT. SO PASTOR HANK AND

I ARE HAVING ONE OF THESE EPIC EARLY MARITAL FIGHTS.

MATTHEW WAS A LITTLE BABY AT THE TIME. PASTOR CHRIS, YOU

PROBABLY REMEMBER THIS. DID YOU STAY WITH US WHEN THIS

HAPPENED? I MEAN, WE WERE FIGHTING. AND THEN, YOU

KNOW, AND IN THE KUNNEMANS, YOU CANNOT FINISH A

SENTENCE. WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AREA OF OUR LIFE. AND

SO, LIKE, LEARN TO SHUT UP, PEOPLE. SO WE WERE ARGUING.

I THOUGHT, I'M GOING TO DO WHAT ANY GOOD DAUGHTER DOES.

I'M LIKE, I'M CALLING MY DAD. NOW THEY LIVED ABOUT

THREE HOURS AWAY, SO I COULDN'T RUN HOME EASILY. SO

I CALLED HIM. AND I'M LIKE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, AND I DON'T KNOW

IF HANK WAS HOLLERING IN THE BACK OR WHAT. IT WAS CHAOS.

OH, YOU WAS THE PEACEFUL ONE. YEAH, I LISTENED TO HIM

ON THERE IN HIS BLUE SHIRT. MY VOICE IS HOARSE, I'D WOO

WITH YOU. ALL RIGHT, BUT HERE'S THE THING. SO MY DAD

GOES, "GET YOUR BIBLES." I'M LIKE, "I'M NOT GETTING MY,

I'M YOUR DAUGHTER, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS?"

"GET YOUR BIBLES, HANK, GET YOUR BIBLE." AND NOW, WE

DIDN'T HAVE SPEAKERPHONE IN THOSE DAYS, SO HE, WE'RE ON

THE PHONE WITH THE CORD, THE WHOLE THING. WE'RE ON THE

PHONE, HE GETS ME ON FIRST. GET YOUR BIBLE, OPEN TO

EPHESIANS 4, 32, AND READ IT OUT LOUD. OK, CAN I TELL YOU

THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS READ A BIBLE VERSE OUT

LOUD WHEN YOU'RE UPSET. BUT THIS IS HOW MY DAD WAS, AND

THIS IS HOW SOMETIMES WE'VE GOT TO BE. AND IT SAYS IN

THE SCRIPTURE, IT SAYS, HE SAID, "NOW READ IT OUT

LOUD." I SAID, "WELL, I'M READING IT. I'M TRYING TO DO

IT QUIET UNDER MY BREATH." HE SAID, "NO, NO, NO, NO.

READ IT OUT WHERE I CAN HEAR IT." AND IT SAYS, "BE YE

KIND ONE TO ANOTHER, TENDERHEARTED." I MEAN IT'S

LIKE DAGGERS GOING IN. "TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING

ONE ANOTHER." I MEAN THIS IS A VERSE, IF YOU ARE IN A BAD

SPIRIT, THIS VERSE WILL JUST RUB YOUR NOSE LIKE IT'S IN

DOG DOO-DOO. "TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER." AND

I'M READING THIS OUT LOUD AND HANK'S IN THE BACK.

"FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER." AND WATCH THIS, "EVEN AS GOD FOR

CHRIST'S SAKE HAS FORGIVEN YOU." SO I READ IT OUT LOUD.

SILENCE, TEARS START TO DRY. GET HANK ON THE PHONE.

"HANK, TURN TO EPHESIANS 4, VERSE 32." AND THEN I HEAR A

Ephesians 4:32

READING, AND WE BOTH READ THAT, AND THE REALITY WAS WE

REALIZED WE WERE IN DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD.

SOMETIMES THE WORD WILL COME AT YOU HARSH. SOME — IT'LL

COME, BUT IT MAY SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM HELL. IT MAY SAVE

YOU FROM THE DIVORCE COURT. IT MAY SAVE YOU FROM CUTTING

YOUR LIFE EARLY. COME ON, YOUNG PEOPLE. YOUR PARENTS

TELL YOU STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING. IT'S BECAUSE THEY

DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE EARLY. OKAY, IF THEY TELL YOU DON'T

SPEED, RACE AROUND CARS. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW,

THESE PEOPLE DIE I, I, I'VE WATCHED HOW MANY TIMES ON

THE INTERSTATE SOME GUY IN A, IN A MOTORCYCLE WITH NO

HELMET GOES SPEEDING THROUGH TRAFFIC AT 95 MILES AN HOUR

AND I THINK, "MAN, I HOPE THAT GUY MAKES IT WHEREVER

HE'S GOING." SO SOMETIMES THE WORD WILL COME HARSH,

BUT STAY RIGHT WITH GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT "HE THAT

COVERS HIS SIN WILL NOT PROSPER, BUT HE THAT

CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM WILL HAVE MERCY." SO WE'VE

GOT TO ALL WORK ON THAT, RIGHT? LAST ONE, PRAY FOR

SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION. ACTS 12, 5, "PRAYER WITHOUT

CEASING WAS MADE FOR PETER." NOW I DON'T KNOW WHY WHAT

HAPPENED WITH JAMES HAPPENED WITH JAMES. WE DON'T KNOW

WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE TAKEN OUT EARLY. IF YOU DIDN'T GET

A CHANCE TO HEAR MY PREACHING FOR THREE WEEKS ON

THE BOOK OF JOB, THAT THERE ARE THINGS GOD WILL NOT GIVE

US THE ANSWERS TO UNTIL WE GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF

ETERNITY. I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE GET A DIVINE

MIRACLE AND OTHER PEOPLE GO ON TO HEAVEN BEFORE THEIR

TIME. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. JOB, GOD

NEVER ONCE EXPLAINED TO JOB WHY HE WENT THROUGH WHAT HE

WENT THROUGH. NOT ONE TIME. HE NEVER SAID IT. NOW JOB

NOW KNOWS IS THE EXAMPLE. BECAUSE PAUL MENTIONS JOB

LATER, REMEMBER JOB? HE WAS THE EXAMPLE OF HOW TO

RESPOND WHEN YOU GO THROUGH PERSONAL TRAGEDY AND HARD

TIMES. HE WAS THAT EXAMPLE. NOW JOB DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS

HUM—MANKIND'S EXAMPLE AT THE TIME. HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

BUT GOD, NOW HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE, HE HAS ALL THE

ANSWERS. HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT HE DIDN'T HEAR. SO JUST

REALIZE, WE HAVE TO TRUST GOD, BUT WE CAN PRAY FOR

SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION. THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID IT LIKE

THIS, "FINALLY, MY BRETHREN," 2 THESSALONIANS

3, 1 THROUGH 3, "FINALLY, MY BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US THAT

THE WORD OF THE LORD WILL HAVE FREE COURSE AND BE

GLORIFIED, EVEN AS IT IS WITH YOU, AND THAT WE MAY BE

DELIVERED FROM UNREASONABLE AND WICKED MEN." I DON'T

KNOW WHY CHARLIE KIRK WAS TAKEN OUT, I DON'T KNOW. NOW

THERE'S SOME PROPHETIC THINGS WE'VE EVEN HEARD AT

THIS CONFERENCE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY HIM, WHY'D THAT

HAPPEN, I DON'T KNOW. BUT ALL I KNOW IS GOD DELIVERED

PAUL FROM MANY THINGS, AND HE SAID WE COULD BE

DELIVERED FROM THINGS. SO WE BELIEVE FOR DELIVERANCE, AND

WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WE PUT IN THE HANDS OF THE

MASTER. WE WEREN'T THERE WHEN HE FORMED THE WORLDS,

AS HE SAID TO JOB. THAT WE WOULD BE DELIVERED FROM

UNREASONABLE AND WICKED MEN, FOR THE LORD IS FAITHFUL,

WHO SHALL ESTABLISH YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM EVIL. NOW LET

ME VERY QUICKLY, AND THEN I'M GOING TO TAKE ABOUT TWO

OR THREE MORE MINUTES, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN TO

PRAY FOR PEOPLE. ARE YOU GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF

THIS TEACHING THIS MORNING? SO, WHAT IS GOD'S RESPONSES

IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION? I'M GOING TO HAVE THE MINISTERS

BE PREPARED. IN A FEW MINUTES, THEY'RE GOING TO

BRING THE PRAYER CLOTHS. SO, JUST GIVE ME ABOUT TWO OR

THREE MORE MINUTES, GUYS. GOD'S RESPONSE IN TIMES OF

PERSECUTION. WE SEE THIS ALL THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS.

NUMBER ONE, GOD BROUGHT A DIVINE UNITY AMONG THE

SAINTS. THE BIBLE SAYS IN EPHESIANS 4:11 THAT GOD

Ephesians 4:11

BROUGHT THE GIFTINGS OF APOSTLE, PROPHET,

EVANGELIST, PASTORS AND TEACHERS FOR THE PERFECTING

OF THE SAINTS, FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, TO THE

EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. SO WE ALL COME,

WATCH THIS, TO THE UNITY OF OUR FAITH. IS IT POSSIBLE

THAT THE CHURCH COULD ACTUALLY BE ONE? I BELIEVE

SO. ACTS 4:32, THEY WERE OF ONE HEART AND ONE SOUL. THEY

Acts 4:32

WERE ALL OF ONE ACCORD. I BELIEVE UPON THE HEELS OF

THE PASSING OF CHARLIE KIRK, WE'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS A

UNITY THAT'S GOING TO COME TO THE BODY OF CHRIST LIKE

WE HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE. COME ON, WHERE PEOPLE CAN

BAND TOGETHER. I JUST WATCHED ON YOUTUBE, I FORGET

HIS NAME, SOME YOUNG MILLENNIAL OR SOMETHING

ABOUT CHARLIE'S AGE WHO THEY SAID WAS ONE OF HIS GREATEST

OPPONENTS ON THERE, JUST FOUGHT CHARLIE, FOUGHT

CHARLIE, ABSOLUTELY LIBERAL LEFTIST YOUNG MAN. HE WAS

LIKE THE CHARLIE KIRK OF THE LEFT. AND ON THERE WEEPING

THAT CHARLIE HAD BEEN KILLED, LIKE IT SHOULDN'T

COME TO THIS. I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE A

UNITING TOGETHER. HALLELUJAH. GOD BROUGHT

SPECIAL GRACE. COME ON, WHEN YOU GO THROUGH SOMETHING,

KNOW THERE'S GRACE. ACTS 4:33, "BUT WITH GREAT POWER

Acts 4:33

HE GAVE THE APOSTLES WITNESS OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE

LORD JESUS, AND GREAT GRACE WAS UPON THEM ALL." JUST

LIKE THERE WAS A GREAT GRACE FOR THAT WOMAN IN THAT

PRISON YARD. THERE'S PEACE AVAILABLE THAT WE CAN'T

ALWAYS UNDERSTAND. I SAW ERICA KIRK'S — HOW MANY OF

YOU WATCHED HER STATEMENT? AND I THOUGHT I COULD SEE,

AND I KNOW SHE'S GOT SOME DAYS AHEAD OF HER TO FIGURE

OUT HER CHILDREN AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT SHE'S GOING

TO HAVE TO WALK THROUGH IN HER EMOTIONS AND DEALING

WITH GRIEF AND SORROW. BUT I SAW THAT GRACE. THERE WAS A

GRACE THAT WAS ARISING, AND I WAS AMAZED. I THOUGHT, SHE

STOOD UP AND SAID, "WHAT CHARLIE BEGAN SHALL NOT

DIE." AND I THOUGHT, "LORD, IF SHE CAN SAY THAT, WHAT'S

OUR EXCUSE?" NUMBER THREE, NO ONE LACKED. I ALREADY

TALKED ABOUT THAT. OKAY, WHEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP

SOMETHING FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM, KNOW THAT GOD

WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. ACTS 4:34, "NEITHER WAS THERE ANY

Acts 4:34

THAT LACK." GOD ALWAYS MAKES ALL GRACE ABOUND. THAT'S WHY

KEEP YOUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS IN THE GROUND. SOW

FOR THE DAY TO COME. NUMBER FOUR, THERE WAS AN INCREASE

OF SIGNS AND WONDERS. ACTS 5:12, "MANY SIGNS BY THE

Acts 5:12

APOSTLES' HANDS." ACTS 5:16, I KNOW I'M SAYING THESE

Acts 5:16

FASTER, THEY COULD PROBABLY PUT THEM UP, BUT YOU CAN

LOOK THEM UP. ACTS 5:16, "THERE CAME MULTITUDES,

Acts 5:16

BRINGING THE SICK AND THOSE THAT WERE VEXED WITH UNCLEAN

SPIRITS." BY THE WAY, THAT TO ME DESCRIBES HIS CURRENT

GENERATION. VEXED WITH UNCLEAN SPIRITS. COME ON, WE

SEE THOSE PEOPLE, THAT GIRL WITH HER TOP OFF AT THE

CHARLIE KIRK EVENT AND THESE PEOPLE LOOKING ALL CRAZY AND

TRANS AND CUTTING THEMSELVES AND, YOU KNOW, MORE EARRINGS

ON THEIR FACE THAN YOU CAN BUY AT THE JEWELRY STORE.

AND YET, VEXED WITH UNCLEAN SPIRITS, AND IT SAID THEY

WERE HEALED, EVERY ONE. AND THEN THE LAST ONE, THE

CHURCH MULTIPLIED. I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT. WE

ARE SEEING IT. COME ON, IMMEDIATELY COLLEGE CAMPUSES

RIGHT AFTER CHARLIE'S PASSING WERE BEING FLOODED

WITH PEOPLE IN WORSHIP PRAISING GOD. BELIEVERS WERE

MORE ADDED, ACTS 5:14, TO THE LORD. MULTITUDES, BOTH

Acts 5:14

MEN AND WOMEN. ACTS 6, 1, AND THE NUMBER OF THE

DISCIPLES WERE MULTIPLIED. ACTS 6:7, AND THE WORD OF

Acts 6:7

GOD INCREASED, AND THE NUMBER OF THE DISCIPLES

MULTIPLIED GREATLY. YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING AFTER

THE DEATH OF STEPHEN, NOW HOW MANY OF YOU, I THINK

THEY TALKED ABOUT THIS AGAIN ON FLASHPOINT, BUT PEOPLE

ARE SAYING THIS DEATH OF STEPHEN WAS LIKE A SEED

PLANTED, AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE PREACHED THIS, HOW THEN

IT RELEASED WHEN HE FORGAVE THOSE AND SAID, "LORD, HOLD

NOT THIS SIN TO THEIR CHARGE." PAUL, SAUL AT THAT

TIME WHO WAS STANDING THERE AND CONSENTING TO STEPHEN'S

DEATH, THAT MANY PEOPLE SAY HIS FORGIVENESS AND HIM

GIVING HIS LIFE WAS WHAT RELEASED SAUL TO BECOME PAUL

AND HELP MAKE THE WAY FOR HIS SALVATION. I'VE HEARD

MANY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT YOU KNOW THE BIBLE GOES

ON AND SAYS, I THINK IT'S ACTS 11, IT SAYS, IF YOU

READ LATER IT SAYS THAT THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE THAT

WERE SCATTERED OVER THE DEATH OF STEPHEN. AND THEY

WERE SCATTERED INTO VARIOUS PLACES AND VARIOUS REGIONS

AND SCATTERED ABROAD. AND IT SAID IN ALL THOSE PLACES

THAT THEY WERE SCATTERED, MANY, MANY PEOPLE,

MULTITUDES CAME TO THE LORD. THEY ALL WENT OUT INTO THOSE

REGIONS. SO YOU KNOW, GOD ALWAYS HAS A WAY. NOW I'M

NOT SAYING, YOU KNOW, GOD KILLS PEOPLE TO, YOU KNOW,

ENACT HIS PURPOSES. GOD'S NOT A KILLING GOD.

HE'S NOT THAT. BUT HE ALSO KNOWS, HE

KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, AND, BUT THE

RESULT OF WHEN THINGS HAPPEN THAT ARE EVIL IS THAT GOD

GETS THE LAST LAUGH. WHEN THE ENEMY PLAYS HIS HAND,

GOD HAS THE WAY AND THE ABILITY TO USE IT AS A MEANS

TO MULTIPLY THE CHURCH AND HIS PURPOSES. AND SO, COME

ON. AND SO, THE ONE THAT REALLY, IT GETS IT IN THE

FACE, THE DEVIL, YOU KNOW THE DEVIL, THE BIBLE SAYS,

HAD HE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH JESUS, HE

WOULD HAVE NEVER CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. BECAUSE

WHEN ONE CHRIST WENT INTO THE GROUND, MANY CHRISTS

CAME UP AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD, AND NOW

CHRIST IN THE EARTH HAS BEEN MULTIPLIED. AND I BELIEVE

WE'RE SEEING THAT, A GREAT, GREAT HARVEST. LET'S STAND

TO OUR FEET FOR A MOMENT. I WANT THEM TO BRING THE

PRAYER CLOTHS. DID I HELP YOU ON THIS TODAY? MY HOPE

WAS TO TEACH YOU THINGS THAT YOU'LL STAND, THAT YOU'LL BE

ABLE TO STAND. AS THEY BRING THOSE, I'LL LET PASTOR...

BEFORE SHE DOES THAT, WE JUST HAVE A FAMILY MOMENT.

HE'S GETTING READY TO GO BACK ON A FLIGHT, AND I JUST

WANTED TO... HE WANTED TO HUG HIS MOM. IS THAT OKAY?

ALL RIGHT, BOYS, COME OVER. HUG FOR ONE MINUTE. ONE...

THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID. MOM MADE THEM, WHENEVER THEY

FIGHT, I MAKE THEM HUG FOR ONE MINUTE. BLOODY NOSES AND

THE WHOLE THING. ALL RIGHT. I LOVE YOU GUYS. WE SPEAK

MERCY. BLESSINGS OVER YOUR FLIGHT, TIGER. ALL RIGHT.

PASTORS AND LEADERS, PASTOR GENE AND TERRY, TONY, WOULD

YOU COME UP? WE'RE JUST GONNA PRAY FOR A MINUTE OVER

THESE PRAYER REQUESTS, AND I'M GONNA HAVE THE USHERS

BEGIN TO PREPARE THE PRAYER LINE. IS IT TOO MUCH TO MAKE

Y'ALL COME UP HERE AND THEN GO BACK DOWN FOR A MINUTE?

DO YOU MIND? I WANNA JUST PRAY OVER THESE PRAYER

CLAWS. NOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS THE USHERS ARE

BEGINNING TO ASSEMBLE THE LINE. LET ME GET A DRINK OF

WATER. AS THE USHERS BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE THE LINE, WE'RE

GONNA PRAY OVER THESE CLAWS. KURT WILL BE TELLING YOU AT

THE END OF SERVICE WE'RE GONNA MAKE THESE AVAILABLE

TO EVERYONE THAT WANTS ONE. SO IF YOU WANT A PRAYER

CLOTH, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET ONE OF THESE SOMEWHERE. KURT

WILL GIVE YOU INFORMATION. BUT I WANT TO GET OUR PASTOR

GENE AND TERRY, PASTOR SHANE AND CHRISSY, YOU'D BE PART

OF THIS, PASTOR MATT. LET'S JUST BEGIN TO PRAY LIKE WE

DO SO MANY TIMES AT LORD OF HOSTS. WE PRAY OVER PRAYER

REQUESTS AND PRAYER CLOTHS AND SPEAK OVER THESE AS

USHERS. THEY'LL BE RELEASING YOU BY, GUYS BEGIN TO PRAY,

I'LL GIVE A LITTLE INSTRUCTION. THEY'LL BE

RELEASING YOU BY SECTION AND KIND OF HOW WE'RE GONNA DO

THIS IS THERE'LL BE A GROUP OF PASTORS FROM LORD OF

HOSTS AS WELL AS OUR PASTOR GINA TERRY AND THEN PASTOR

TONY WHO WILL BE DOWN HERE IN TWO SIDES AND YOU GUYS

WILL THERE'LL BE TWO LINES SO YOU KNOW YOU JUST GET IN

WHATEVER EVERY ONE OF US ARE ANOINTED THE SAME OKAY SO

YOU JUST GET IN WHATEVER LINE THE USHERS DIRECT YOU

IF YOU'RE NOT IN PASTOR HANK'S LINE THAT DOESN'T

MEAN YOU'RE NOT GETTING HEALED OKAY BECAUSE HOW MANY

OF YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE UP HERE KNOW HOW TO PRAY AND

THEY KNOW HOW TO LAY HANDS AND SO THEY'RE GONNA LINE

YOU INTO TWO LINES SINCE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE

AND AS YOU JUST WALK PAST EACH PERSON IN YOUR LINE

THEY'LL BRUSH YOU OR TOUCH YOU WITH THE ANOINTING AND

UNLESS YOU JUST ABSOLUTELY FALL, WHAT THE USHERS ARE

INSTRUCTED TO DO IF YOU DO FALL THEY'RE GONNA PICK YOU

UP JUST SO WE CAN KEEP THE LINE GOING SO DON'T FEEL BAD

THEY'RE NOT SAYING WELL YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE FELL DOWN I

UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF GOD HITS PEOPLE BUT THEY'LL JUST

PICK YOU UP GENTLY AND HELP YOU OFF TO THE SIDE BECAUSE

WHAT WE WANT TO DO OUR GOAL HERE TODAY IS GET TO AS MANY

PEOPLE AS WE CAN AND BELIEVE GOD BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE

THAT HAVE SOME REAL NEEDS FOR HEALING TODAY SO AS

THESE ARE ALL BEGINNING TO PRAY I'M GOING TO TAKE A

MOMENT GUYS JUST BEGIN TO PRAY OVER THESE I WANT TO
