But we are so glad to have you [music]

in the house tonight. We want to welcome

if you're watching streaming, wherever

you're watching from, drop us a line

right now. Just say, "Hey, I'm watching

from." Let us know where you're watching

from. But welcome. We're glad you're

joining us. So before you're seated,

turn around, shake hands with the people

around you. If you don't know their

name, introduce yourself and you may be

seated.

Well, this is the last night of prayer

con 26, but it's not the last night to

pray. [music]

You know, the Bible uh has a lot to say

about prayer. In the mornings, pastor

was sharing a little bit and teaching

and then we would pray. Um prayer can be

taught but there's a spirit of prayer

that has to be caught. And I believe

that uh in these evening meetings, these

morning meetings when we've been praying

[music] that we're all going home a

different way and that we've caught some

more of that spirit of prayer, how to

pray, when to pray, how to know like

this morning him uh pastor sharing on

the prayer of intercession and how to

know when the spirit of God is taking

hold together with you against

something.

Wow, it was amazing. So, um I want to

encourage you, pray, pray, pray. If

you're part of this church family, we've

got prayer groups that are going all

through the week. You are welcome to

join a prayer group. In fact, this is

open enrollment month uh the month of

January. Uh was just talking with uh

someone re right before service and we

may be starting another prayer group uh

that will start next uh 1 of February on

the persecuted church. A prayer group

for the persecuted church. We have a

responsibility to pray.

There are many many countries that do

not have the freedom we have. They would

give anything to be able to come and to

pray openly but they do so much hiding.

So much so much. We prayed uh on one

morning for Israel

much uncction not knowing what the week

was going to unfold. Things are are uh

steer they're uh they're what are they

doing? They're they're getting hot over

there. Things are starting to boil over

there. Then we prayed for the Middle

East yesterday and we we took on prayer

assignments this week. It was just an

interesting an interesting prayer con

where we were intentionally praying

about different situations and I just

believe that our prayers availed much

and we did business with God and the

fervent prayer of a righteous man,

righteous woman makes tremendous power

available, dynamic in its working. So,

so it's been a good week. I want to

thank again those who came in from um

out of town. I know people came in from

out of over the overseas. They came in

from all over the states. Thank you for

putting forth the effort to come. It

means a lot and I believe it'll make a

difference in the rest of your year. We

were praying out one service uh the

future. Praying out the future. Praying

out what's coming. And so again, we are

so thankful that you took the time to be

here. You took the time to join. And

those of you watching online, I believe

that same spirit of prayer you'll catch

right wherever you are, whatever country

you're in, whatever city you're in. So

continue with it. Don't stop now. Don't

stop now. Take it home with you. If

you're a pastor, take it home with you.

Impart it to your people. Um God is

looking for a church that prays. The

church went to fervent and earnest

prayer. And that's us. That's us. So I

just wanted to make mention of a couple

things. Um, we last night took up a

special offering. the whole offering

went to a a an ambassador in a closed

country that we were not we did not

mention in a situation that we did not

go into a lot of details about

um but but this individual uh is there

now and um there's no internet there's

no um cell phone so we've not had in any

communication with her but we're

believing wherever she is that their

angels encamped round about her, but she

ministers to orphans and to uh widows

whose husbands have vanished,

quote unquote.

And so um what an what an amazing

ministry. So there was a need that came

up to get them out of particular city.

And so how many of you would like to

know what came in the offering last

night?

>> Are you ready? She was needing 25,000.

We did a simple presentation. and give

you an opportunity to give. We had,

drum roll

31,000

500. Woohoo!

[music] Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Yay!

Ha!

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Glory to God.

supernatural supernatural offering. So,

I I just kind of danced a little jig

when we got that report this morning and

I knew y'all would be excited, too. And

there's more still coming in. It's just

So, as it comes in, we will continue. We

will get it to her. We know where to

send it. Uh she has no clue, but when

she will have a clue and so I believe

that that money will go to uh is going

to help her with this need that has came

up out of nowhere. So, um praise the

Lord. Thank you. Thank you for being

faithful to give and I believe that what

you planted will come back to you

multiplied over many times over because

that's just the nature of God. We give

and he gives back. Multi, he multiplies

it, remember? So, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Uh, couple more things. We

mentioned a book bundle on Sunday

morning. How many of you had got the

book bundle?

How many? Oh, well, that mean they were

gone like that after service. Literally,

there was a line a mile long. So, we did

our best to track down some more. They

arrived this afternoon. And so, um, we

had 25 more book bundles. And just now I

went back out to just check on the table

and there's four left. I'm like, "Wait,

where'd the 25 go?" And he said,

"They're gone." I'm like, "Gone where?"

He [laughter] said, "They're already

gone." So, four people you four people

want it. It's out there. It's the

passion for prayer which are excerpts

from some of the most amazing teachers

of prayer through the through the

through the years. Uh that's what that

book is. And then uh the imbounds it's a

it's a one minute devotional

leatherbound um on the subject of

prayer. So there's four left. So y'all

just fight over it or something.

[laughter]

Don't go get it now because there's no

one out there. But um and then one other

thing, we're going to be right back in

here um for another conference uh in

August is Fire for the Nations. I know

some of you come back for that. Yeah.

And that's going to be August 2 through

five. So put it on your radar. Get it on

your calendar. Don't go on vacation

during Fire for the Nations. Uh we have

a lot of ambassadors that come in for

that. And it just ignites them to go and

do another year or whatever on the

mission field. And it invites it ignites

us. It lights the fire in us. The why

why is mission so big. That's what Fire

for the Nations is all about. So, um

you're going to enjoy it. But that's

going to be here before we know it. This

is fe January. So, I don't even know

what month it's January, but the months

pass by so quickly. So, that's going to

be August 2 through 5 and hope to see

some of you back

>> [music]

>> um at that point. So, but again, thanks

for being here. We'll uh after service

get to tell as many of you as we can

goodbye. But just wanted to say we love

you. We appreciate you. We appreciate

you praying and loving to pray and

desiring to pray. [music] Continue to

pray. You're making a difference.

This is Robert, our uh pastoral care

captain.

>> Thank you, pastor. Wow.

I think we should just stand up for a

second and give God some praise for that

offering last night.

Hey, [music] thank you, Lord.

Thank you.

[music] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Wow. Ain't he good?

>> Yeah. Well, it's offering time.

>> Yeah. Keep that excitement going. We

ain't done reaching the world yet.

Here's the different ways to give up on

the screens there. There's also uh

offering envelopes in the seatbacks in

front of you. Um if you would prefer to

use that. Um

the Bible says over in 1 Samuel, God

says, "He who honors me, I will honor."

James chapter 4 says, "Draw near to me

James 4 · chapter mention

and I will draw near to you." Over in

Peter, it says something to the effect

of uh humble yourself under the mighty

hand of God and he will exalt you. You

know, there's just this principle of of

reciprocosity

with God.

It's reciprocal. It's not one of those,

you know, if you scratch my back, I'll

scratch your back. You know, it's one of

those things when you seek him with your

heart,

his goodness has an automatic flow to

your life. Amen. And it just kind of

reminded me as I was thinking about

this, I started thinking about Monday

night

as we came to honor him,

as we came to bless his name and to

praise him and to worship him with our

heart. Amen. That word honor there means

weight. And I don't know about you, but

I was sitting in my seat and I felt like

there was some weight of glory sitting

on me most of the night. And like Pastor

Mark said, these things, we may not know

what all happened on the inside of us

for a week or two or a month, but guess

what? Something happened.

>> Just like every other service in this

conference, something happened.

>> And God's so faithful to honor us when

we honor him. The Bible says this in

Proverbs chapter 3, very familiar. He

Proverbs 3 · chapter mention

says, "Honor the Lord with your wealth

and with the first and best part of all

your income.

Then here's that uh uh that reciprocal

principle. Then your barns will be full

and your vats will overflow with fresh

wine." You know, it's almost like God

says, you know, when you honor me, I

just want to honor you more. [laughter]

I just want to honor you. So tonight and

every time we give, we should always

come with that heart, and I know we do,

to honor him, to bless his name, to put

him above all things. Amen. And watch

and see lives be changed just like what

happened last night. Hallelujah.

Father, we thank you for the

opportunities to [music] give to you and

to honor you with our finances. Lord, be

blessed and be [music] glorified

in Jesus' name. Amen.

Amen. When you guys are done giving, you

can stand as we continue in worship.

We lift [music and singing] our hands to

you, Lord.

We lift [music and singing] our voice to

you, Lord.

And you spoke those words, [singing]

"Let there [music] be light." And it

was.

And in that same breath, the

[music and singing] stars fell in line.

With one voice creation cries, [music]

you [singing] do all things well.

Oh [music] yes, you do.

And you do all things well.

So be praised. [music]

Be praised

forever

[music] and always

be praised.

We glorify you with praise. Be

glorified. [music and singing]

Redeemed from the dark now [music] into

the light. transformed from [singing]

death to life. I heard your voice

calling my name. Now I'm [music]

well.

things well.

Only you are worthy. Only you are

worthy. Only you could redeem us with

your own precious blood. Only you could

pay the price. Only you go could go

where we deserve to go. Take our place.

Hallelujah. You went where we belong so

we can go where you are. You became what

we were so we can be as you are. We're

thankful, dear Father. Thank you for the

great plan of redemption. Jesus came and

completed for us.

We weren't even here to ask for it. He

came and did it for us.

He was called the lamb slain from the

foundation of the world. We're thankful.

>> Hallelujah.

We're thankful, dear Father.

We're grateful. We're grateful. We're

grateful. And we're going to remind you

of that all through eternity. How

thankful we are. We're a chosen

generation, a royal priesthood, a holy

nation. We can show forth the praises of

him. Called us out of darkness into his

glorious light. Father, we're just

thankful. We're just [music] thankful.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

when we were in places where we didn't

know what we were going to do. We were

in places in uh in life, we didn't know

what we were going to do. Didn't know

where we're going to go. Didn't know

what was going to take place. Didn't

know if there was any kind of an answer

for us. Didn't know if that was going to

work [music] for us. But you reached

out. You reached out. Hallelujah. You

brought somebody to us with good news.

And we're thankful.

>> We're just thankful, dear Father.

Somebody brought us the good news.

Somebody brought us the gospel. Somebody

came and talked to us with a love of God

that takes away the sins of the world.

Somebody paid the price. Somebody took

time out of their schedule

to come and talk to us. Not condemning,

not demeaning, just came to tell us how

good life is. That you got a plan for

our life. Hallelujah. We didn't know

that. How would we know that? We didn't

know it. We hadn't read the Bible. We

didn't know it. But you sent somebody to

tell us. Almighty God has a plan for our

life and we're thankful for it, dear

Father, in the wonderful name of Jesus

Christ of Nazareth. Hallelujah. The one

that's high and lifted up and his train

fills the temple.

[music] Glory to God. We're we're

grateful and we're thankful. We thank

you in Jesus' name, Father. Hallelujah.

And we thank you for the service

tonight. Father, we we uh we take time

to thank you for this this week for a

prayer con.

There's some things we know you did, but

there's a lot we don't know you did.

There's some things that are beyond our

knowledge. They go way down on the

inside. There's some things you've done

for us, some things you've done in us,

some things you've done to us, some

things you're going to do through us.

And we're thankful for that, dear

Father. What a privilege to be in the

family of Almighty God. So, thank you

for this week that we've been able to

spend time together. Hallelujah. And I

thank you for everybody that's come,

those that haven't been able to come,

but they watched online. I pray over

every one of them, dear Father.

Everybody that's come to take part, come

to get something, to receive something,

to go do something. And I thank you for

each and every one. I thank you, Father.

I declare they'll never be the same.

Never, never, never, never, never,

never, never be the same in Jesus name.

And we're thankful for him, dear Father.

Thank you, Father, for meeting all their

needs, taking care of everything.

Hallelujah. And we thank you now for the

service tonight. And we just trust you

to um bring to pass what your will and

plan [music] is. As uh Jesus said in

what we call the Lord's Prayer, Father,

um thy will be done on earth the same as

it is in heaven. Your will's always done

in heaven, but we can pray and have it

done here on earth. So we pray for that

tonight. Thy will be done, oh Lord, in

this place tonight in Jesus name.

Whatever it may be, wherever it may go,

we thank you for it, dear Father. And

when it's all come to pass, then we'll

surely know. Hallelujah. We've been in

your presence. We thank you for it in

Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise

God. Glory to God. Well, you can go

ahead and be seated. Good to see

everybody here.

[clears throat] Glad you made it. Um, I

want to take a minute. Uh, I'm we're not

really, of course, never really exactly

sure where the end of a service is going

to go. So, Pastor Jan and I want to take

just a minute. And, uh, number one,

thank everybody for coming. Those of you

that have come from, you know, anywhere

from uh the next uh, subdivision down

the block or to another from another

city, state, or another nation. Thank

you. Thank you for taking the time,

those uh, watching online and uh, and to

go beyond that. Uh we're so thankful for

our staff and all the work they've put

in. Yeah,

[applause]

they worked hard

for our our core, our helps minister,

our core department worked hard.

[applause]

We're grateful for that. And uh for

everybody that's gotten involved, we're

just thankful for that. Amen. Did I miss

anybody? Don't think so. Good.

Hallelujah. Praise God. Well, it's been

a been a good week. Been a good week.

And as you know, we've said before that

a lot of times coming into a meeting

like this, some meetings you come into

and if you're doing a a seminar on a

particular subject, then you kind of

know what you're going to do before you

get there. You're going to going to be

able to take a subject and take it

apart, put it back together, and all

that. But when you come into something

like a prayer conference, um all you

know for sure that you're going to do is

pray.

That's all you know to do. And uh and so

and we said when we started out uh I

think Sunday morning we made the

statement that you know um we we've

we've been I don't mean this you know in

a negative sense sort of but um yeah

we've all been to prayer meetings where

they do everything but pray.

Maybe you haven't been to one of those.

They're definitely a different form of

interesting and uh you know we we've

kind of all been to one of those along

the way somewhere where you go to a

prayer meeting and say what'd you pray

about do what you know and uh so we we

just said what we know for sure after

doing a number of prayer conferences I

have no idea how many we've done so far

but

um in doing that you know one thing we

know for sure is uh we're going to pray

and u and I we started out saying uh my

plan and it's it's uh It's um uh it's

work, but my my plan is to teach a

little shorter and pray a little longer.

Um you know, it's easy for a teacher to

teach and uh and teach and teach and

teach and it's easy to do that, but we

said we're going to do our best

discipline to teach a little shorter.

Now, the word's always good. Don't

misunderstand me. But if you don't take

the word and and apply something to it,

and the best time to apply something to

the word you get is to do it instantly.

Get it working. Get that seed down in

the ground. Get it working. So, so

anyway, but

>> [clears throat]

>> um uh it's been, you know, two, four,

six, what, seven services so far. And um

we've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. U

got a lot of gone a lot of directions we

didn't know for sure. And I made the

statement at one point that uh I I was I

was kind of ex expecting uh the only way

I can describe it. I it just seemed to

me and you know you can I know you've

never done this but you know you can

misinterpret anything. You can

misconstrue what you get by the Holy

Ghost and put your own interpretation on

it. So you know don't want to do that

but it just seemed to me that there were

some areas that God was needing, wanting

whatever. uh us to get involved in and

lock arms with him and help him get

something done. And and we know

searching the scriptures, you have not

because you ask not. Ask and you shall

receive that your joy may be full. We we

know to do that and and um looking back

over the last three days um it just uh

it's there's some particular areas

seemed like to me that we we kind of

landed on some uh Holy Ghost fields out

there where we were able to to tap into

some certain things. And uh you know I

don't know about you but uh Monday night

uh I think was it Monday night my

night's running together but Monday

night we came in here and we had a place

in worship um beyond anything I've been

around in a long time and uh that was

wonderful and praise and worship praise

is the highest kind of prayer. So when

we just start out like that, uh there

are a lot of things I'm sure God did in

the middle of all that. And uh and then

and then another facet is uh we we

talked about how um I I made mention

that I was listening through uh I I

brother Hagen lives in my uh my iPhone.

It goes everywhere with me. I get in my

car, I plug it in and I start listening

and I I listen to him. You know, um

there are a lot of radio stations you

can tap into, but none of them are as

good as brother Hagen. So, I I get him

in there and and uh uh there was a uh um

a couple different sessions that that

I'd been, you know, listening to just

lately. And um I I went back through and

one in particular was I I don't know the

year. I've tried to get it's not on my

phone. It's just it's it's in there, but

I have no idea what year it came in. But

um goodness, I think it was uh after

Pastor Jen, I believe it was after we

got married, we went to a se brother

Hagen did a uh prayer seminar and we

went to that prayer seminar and uh he

was uh teaching of course teaching on

the subject of prayer and and you know

this is repetition. I talked about this

a few days ago, but we he was talking

about that and um

uh and one of the one of the things we

did emphasize in the beginning of the

week is I believe Paul, you know, Paul

wrote to the Romans and he said Romans

Romans 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1 verse uh 10 and 11, he said,

you know, I want I'm praying for a

prosperous journey by the will of God to

come unto you. Verse 11, he says, "For I

long to see you. I long he just wrote

this amazing letter or he's writing this

amazing letter to him the book of

Romans. I don't know about you, I get a

lot of good out of the, you know, he

didn't say, "I'm I'm sending you a

really good letter. Just read it over

and over and over and over and over and

over and over and then start all over

again. You'll get everything you need."

And that you'd think that'd be enough.

If the word only was enough, then that

was all they would have needed. You

know, well, I need the word. That's all

I need. Well, funny thing was Jesus was

called the word.

>> Yeah.

>> In the beginning was the

>> word. The word was with God. The word

was God. The same as in the beginning

with God. all and we we know all these

truths from the scriptures. He's called

the word. But if you'll notice, the word

was on earth from the time he took on

flesh to dwell among us until we see him

at 12 years old. Then we see him again

at 30 years old. We see him when he's uh

baptized in the Jordan by John the

Baptist. He comes out of the water

praying. The heavens open, the spirit of

God descends in bodily form like a dove

remains upon him. He has a spirit

without measure. We see all that. And

then we find Jesus who had not worked a

miracle in the first 30 years of his

existence on planet earth. Okay. But

then all of a sudden when the Holy Ghost

came on him, the spirit of God came on

him. He said the spirit of we Luke 4th

chapter verse 17 I think he said the

spirit of the Lord's upon me because

he's anointed me. He left that anointing

behind when he came down here took on

flesh to dwell among us. He paid the

price stripped himself of his mighty

power and glory. came down here, took on

flesh and blood to dwell among us. And

when he did that, the Holy Ghost came on

him at about 30 years old approximately.

And when that happened, uh, from that

point on, I think it was John's gospel

where he said, "If everything Jesus did

could be written down, I don't suppose

the world itself could contain the

volumes." So there's no miracles for the

first 30 years of his existence on

earth. And then the last three years,

John said, "We couldn't write it all

down." It's when the word and the spirit

came together. And so with that being

the case um

we we made the statement that you know

Paul wrote and he said I long to I long

to see you. Romans chapter 1 vers 11 he

Romans 1 · chapter mention

says for I long to see you. I long to

see you. Why? You got something I need.

We're going to receive big offerings.

We're going to No. What did he say? He

said I long to see you. Why? That I may

>> impart to you. I long to see you that I

may impart to you some spiritual gift.

some supernatural spiritual endowment,

some measure of the Holy Ghost. As we

used to saying, just one dose of the

Holy Ghost is not enough for me. I long

to see you that I may impart to you some

spiritual gift to the end you may be

established, made steady, sturdy, made

uh able to stand. And so I I we started

out earlier this week said, you know, I

really I really believed through the

week that um you know, there were times

uh you know, God with Numbers the 11th

chapter with Moses, God said, you bring

the seven 70 of the elders you have that

you think are the best in the group.

Bring them together and when my spirit

comes down on you, I'll take some what's

on you by my presence and I'll put it on

them and they'll help take carry the

load. Because before that, he had a

church of three million unsaved people.

and he said, "God, God, just kill me,

please. I can't I can't do this." So,

anyway, we we look back there and and um

uh the Holy Ghost came on, you know, it

was it was of course came on Moses back

there and then on the 70 and so on. But

Paul wrote and he said, "I long to see

that I may impart to you some spiritual

gift." And uh if he could do it back

there for the Romans, then God could do

it today for in in the church of Tulsa.

And so, he said, "We're just planning.

we're expecting. And if God can do that,

he sure he can do it through the laying

on of hands. Sure, he can do it through

uh association. Okay? Sure, he can do it

through through pieces of cloth like the

ministry of of Paul. But we just kind of

had a great expectation that if we just

get in his presence, we're going to get

something.

>> And and I believe we did. I believe we

did. Most of the things I've ever gotten

from heaven like that, I didn't know I

got them until they were there for quite

a while. And all a sudden, they'd show

up and I'd think, I don't even know

where that came from. And I remember a

meeting I got into where the anointing

of God, the presence of God came in. So

anyway, um we we we talked about that

and and um and then you know going back

through uh in uh this meeting like I

said, Brother Hagen was teaching on

prayer

and and in doing that um he'd been doing

it for I I think maybe three or four

nights I'm guessing. I don't recall. I

don't even know exactly when the meeting

was at this point. But uh in in doing

that he he stops and he says okay now we

uh made a couple comments and he said uh

he said now he said the things we've

been talking about a move of God a

revival an outpouring of the spirit of

God a move of the Holy Ghost things

we've been talking about even here this

is talking in this service he said um in

those those those things we've been

talking about like that um you know uh

we're not we're not going to have those

things until we get the kind of prayer

that's going to give birth to those

things. The Apostle Paul wrote to the

Romans, chapter 4, I think it's verse

Romans 4 · chapter mention

19, he said uh he said uh writing to

them, he said um uh you know, he said uh

talked about how he was going to uh he

wanted to to uh u pray over the minister

there. He said that you know that that

Christ may be formed in you. And so

going down that road, um, Brother Hagen

said in this service, he said, you know,

he said, so he said, there's a there's a

kind of prayer that we're not going to

have the move of God that we've been

looking for, asking for, preaching

about, we're not going to have that

until we get into a place where God can

give birth to that. Uh, again, as Paul

said, my little children of whom I

travail in birth again till Christ be

formed in you. until we get the kind of

praying that's going to do that. And he

said, "So, what I'm going to do now," he

said, "there's a I'm going to call

Brother Halverson up here." Well, I'd

heard his name, but I didn't have a clue

who he was. And he said, "Brother Phil

Halverson, I've known him for many

years." He said, "He's the real deal."

He said, "He's a real among other

things, he's a real intercessor, and I'm

going to have him come up here and he's

going to lead us." He said, "We have

people leading singing. We have people

lead worship. We let He says, "We have

people, we even have people leading some

prayer sometimes. But sometimes just

this little bit of prayer that we do, it

just doesn't do an awful lot of good.

But I'm going to have brother Halverson

come up and lead us in prayer because

until we get to where we're moving in

this kind of prayer, we're not going to

have the kind of move of God that we're

looking for." Well, I thought, well, you

know, Jen and I, we're we're sitting way

up in the nosebleleed section up here.

And I thought, I don't know what this

is, but if this is what's going to bring

it to pass, I want to know about it. And

so, Brother Halverson came up and I'm

expecting the spiritual giant to come up

and this guy comes up and takes the

microphone and away he goes. And the

minute he stepped up there, u you know,

real inter intercession, we talked about

it this morning,

real intercession is defined, best

definition I've ever heard is when the

the Holy Ghost takes hold together with

us against something. It's when the

spirit of God takes hold. It's not

intercession is not just when you pray

for your neighbor. You can do that

without intercession. Intercession is

not just when you pray. Intercession is

when you pray and the spirit of God

connects with you and you lock arms on

that and when he comes on you and the

two of you get together uh you're he

takes hold together with you against

something. And so um uh so anyway uh

brother Halverson began to pray. And I I

don't know about you if you've ever

heard that kind of praying. And uh I'm

going down this road for a purpose here

for just a moment. But uh I'd never

heard, you know, I'd been around Brother

Hagen for uh at that time probably a

couple years and I'd heard him pray. I

heard how he prayed at different times

and services and all that. But when

Brother Halverson got up there, began to

pray. Uh intercession, he he didn't

just, you know, it didn't take him 20

minutes to get there. He stepped up,

opened his mouth, the Holy Ghost fell on

him, and he began to pray by the spirit

of God. Intercession came on him, and he

began to pray in some ways I'd never

heard before. He launched out into in

tongues and then within a few moments

he's in English and then a few moments

later he's back in tongues and then he's

back in English and he's praying about

Monday, Monday, Monday and then he's

praying about America and then he's

praying he's going back and forth um

praying about different things. But it

was as the spirit of God took him into

these locations and he prayed I don't

know brother Hagen only had him up there

maybe five minutes at the most something

like that. But um there was a kind of

prayer that the only way I can describe

it is we're in this meeting. A lot of

friends of ours were in that meeting and

and uh [clears throat] a lot of those

people we'd see over the next I don't

know six months to a year. We'd be

someplace with them and we'd get

together to pray and I noticed that same

kind of prayer. They'd start praying

that same kind of prayer would come on

them. I noticed in my own life didn't

have any clue of any such a thing. They

didn't pray that way in the church where

I grew up. I can tell you that much. But

we'd get to praying and I'm telling you

that same that same

dimension of intercession would just

come on us. I said, ' God, I don't

understand all this, but I mean, I I'll

take this. In fact, just put me into a

into a cave somewhere. I'll do this rest

of my life. This is wonderful. And uh

and I I just say when over the past uh

well, we had Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,

and then this morning. So, we got, you

know, three and a half days and then

tonight. uh as we

uh unitedly prayed, you know, I'm

praying, but while I'm praying, I'm kind

of listening to hear where things are

going. And the only thing I can say is

the as we unitedly were there, one kind

of prayer is united prayer. And you

can't replace that with anything else.

And as we prayed like that, the the the

Holy Ghost came on. And there was a

dimension of prayer that we stepped over

into a number of times in the past three

days. And I, you know, the only thing I

could think of is this is what we ran

into with brother Philip Halverson a

number of years ago, but God deposited

that into a whole bunch of people in the

body of Christ. And a lot of us picked

up a measure of that. And when we got

together praying like that, we over the

past three and a half days, we have

covered a lot of territory with that

kind of prayer. That tells me this whole

thing started in in in my thinking that

that whole thing started with we're not

going to have a move of God like we're

talking about praying about desiring a

move of the spirit. We're not going to

have that until we do something to give

birth to that by the Holy Ghost. And to

me, it just felt like we're on the edge

of some of that for the past three days.

I believe God's been uh equipping us for

the days to come. I believe if we step

out, step in and continue to flow with

that. Okay, now we can't get this whole

group together. Some of you are from

other countries. We can't do this all

the time. But I'll tell you what, we can

get into our own prayer closet and tap

into that. Okay, so anyway, I got to get

moving here. All right, let's um let's

go over to um

uh 1 Timothy chapter 2.

1 Timothy 2 · chapter mention

I said [snorts] the other day, I said,

'I really think there's some things that

God really um that he would uh like us

to um he'd like us to get ourselves

involved in. There's some things,

whether you want to call it a mandate,

an assignment,

whatever terminology we want to use. And

and I want to get to that just for a few

minutes this evening. Then we're going

to pray, okay? And you know, you never

you never get to where you're done

praying. You just unhook until you can

reconnect the next time. But that being

the case, um

1 Timothy chapter 2:1,

uh this is this is one of my uh go-to

scriptures. I I go to a lot in the area

of prayer. We do noon hour prayer four

days a week and uh you know online. And

this is one I go to a lot. It's it's

something it's a jumping off place. You

can jump off and find it's hard to find

your way back. But he says here chapter

2 vers1 where Paul writes here and he's

writing to um Timothy 1 Timothy 2:1 he's

1 Timothy 2:1

writing to Timothy Paul is an older

minister and he's writing to Timothy a

young pastor in the church at Ephesus

we've been on we've been we've been

hanging out with Ephesus all week long

okay and uh so he says this chapter 2

verse one he said I exhort therefore

that first of all first of all now you

know I I thought about this we could

have started out Sunday morning with

this because he did say first of all,

but I think he's a little more lax on

that that we could we're still in the

same meeting, so I think we could go

back and do first of all now. But he

said, I exhort therefore that first of

all, first of all, he's going to give

some specific directions here to a young

pastor coming up. He's going to have a

big thriving strong church. He's going

to have a lot of work to do. And Paul's

giving him some some fatherly uh

apostles advice for him. And he said, "I

exhort therefore I encourage I I

admonish you. I exhort therefore that

first of all, first of all, so

apparently this ought to be coming. This

is before you pray for grandma. This

this is before you pray for Aunt Susie.

It doesn't make any difference. First of

all, it's good to pray for everybody."

But he starts here. He says, "I exhort

therefore that first of all

supplications, prayers,

intercessions, and giving of thanks."

See, he didn't just narrow it down to

just pray the prayer of faith over

somebody and they'll get it and you'll

be just fine. No, he said, "I exhort

there therefore that first of all,

supplications, prayers, intercessions,

and giving of thanks." He said, "I want

you to get to where you are so uh in

tune with the spirit of God that he can

lead you into what kind of prayer you

need to go." Sometimes, I mean, think

about it. Sometimes you might just need

to get into the prayer of giving thanks.

>> How many times did you say, "We're going

to have a prayer meeting tonight. We're

going to take all of our political

leaders that we all know and love so

much

and we're going to spend the whole

evening giving thanks for them. Lord,

we're just going to give thanks for all

of our how when was the last time you're

in a meeting like that? It's a kind of

prayer, supplication. Okay.

Supplication, prayers, intercessions.

Now that we talked about that this

morning and there's a lot more to that

than what we had time to cover, but

supplications, prayers, intercession,

and giving of thanks be Now he says for

all men. So everybody qualifies.

Everybody would we if we if we were

alive back in the 30s, whatever, would

we have pray would we have been

comfortable praying for Adolf Hitler?

Are

>> you kidding me? No. No. No. But he

needed it more than anybody.

But anyway, I exhort therefore the first

of all supplications, prayers,

intercession, and giving of thanks be

made for all men. He didn't exclude.

There's nobody that is disqualified.

Doesn't matter who it is. Doesn't matter

how ugly they are. Doesn't matter how

good, bad, indifferent, doesn't make any

difference. If they are a person, then

they do qualify.

>> Now, I don't know about you, I've had

people in my life for over the years

when I first got saved, there were

people I thought I ain't praying for

them, you know. [laughter]

Uh-uh. No, no, not on a good day or a

bad day. Not going to do it. And then

I'd read my Bible and I think I don't

have a choice in this. Start praying. It

is the funniest thing. You start praying

for people, you quit being aggravated at

them.

>> And if you're aggravated at them, you're

not praying for them.

>> Well, I don't know if I like the

political leaders. Well, I I [laughter]

[gasps] I can take a wild guess about

you. You ain't praying for them

>> because once you start praying for

somebody, you lo you lose all the

animosity.

I don't none of you have any animosity.

I get that. I get that. You know, but

I've heard people say things, ugly

things in days gone by. And you know,

and of course, President Trump, he's

such a

>> mildmannered. Yeah.

Yeah. Mildmannered. That's the term I'm

looking for. Easygoing, mildmannered.

You know, just you know, you know, you

know, [laughter]

he's always going to be sweet and kind

walking in. No, like somebody said, we

didn't we didn't get a pope. We got a

president.

But uh and folks have their opinions,

but stop. Bottom line, I'm getting way

off course. I don't know if I'm ever

going to find my way back. Open the

door, let me out, and then we'll lock

it. Anyway, he says, "I exhort therefore

that first of all, supplications,

prayers, intercessions, and giving of

thanks be made for

>> all men."

>> All men, all mankind. Doesn't matter who

doesn't matter how ugly they've been.

Doesn't matter how mean they've been.

Doesn't matter whe you like them or not.

In fact, the worse they are, the

probably the more we ought to be praying

for them.

>> So anyway, that's extra that don't

charge me for I won't charge you for

that one. So anyway, supplications,

prayers, intercessions, and giving of

thanks be made for be made for all men.

But then he gets more specific on this

in this particular context. He says for

kings and those in in authority. So in

other words, don't just pray for your

friends, your neighbors, your relatives,

your loved ones. Bring that back around

because the main purpose of this is to

pray for kings and those that are in

authority. Those in a a place of of u uh

authority.

Somebody's making decisions that affect

your life. For this is good. Pray for

kings and those that are in authority

that we now what'd he say that we might

we pray for them. So apparently them are

not part of we. So apparently they're

not believers. Apparently they're not

Christians. Apparently they're not

church folks. But he said, "Pray for

them anyway so that we might lead a

quiet and peaceable life and all

godliness and honesty." Or one

translation says, "All freedom of

religion and high moral standards."

>> Well, last I checked, the church world

isn't necessarily living in all kinds of

freedom and high moral standards.

>> We won't even go down that road. If

we're not there, it's not God's fault.

If we're not there, he's holding the

church accountable.

Oh, I don't want to hear about that.

Well, we'll stay there for a few minutes

and you can get glad in the same shoes

you got mad. And anyway, anyway, in

going back through there, he's writing

here. He says, I exhort therefore that

first of all, supplication. I'm I'm

heading somewhere with this.

Supplications, prayers, intercession,

giving of thanks be made for all men,

for kings, and for those that are in

authority, that we might lead a quiet

and peaceable life in all godliness and

honesty. For this is good and

acceptable. Wouldn't you want to do

what's good and acceptable in the sight

of God? Who would have all men? He said

that would have all men to be saved and

to come under the knowledge of the

truth. Apparently, our praying for our

leadership has something to do with all

men being saved. It has something to do

with harvest. It has something to do

with re revival. Has something to do

with the move of God. I don't know about

you, but probably there was a time

before November of 1972, there's

probably some situations where I

probably wasn't the nicest guy in the

world.

Maybe I was probably not. Okay, I'm so

I'm glad people didn't judge me on the

account of what I was like at that time

cuz it wasn't always real good. I was so

glad that people went after me. Anyway,

George Fiero, the guy, would not leave

me alone. He was in my dorm. He would

not leave me alone. He's one of the

navigators. I said, "You're one of those

people?" He said, "Yes, I am." I said,

"Well, good. I don't want I I'm not

interested." He said, "Good. You go to

my meeting and then I'll leave you

alone. I'm not going to your meeting."

He said, "You go and I'll leave you

alone." I said, "No, leave me alone." He

said, "I'll leave you alone when you go

to my meeting." Thought, "Who are you?

Who put you on my case?"

So, I finally went to the meeting and it

wasn't bad. So, I went the next meeting,

walked an aisle, prayed to receive

Jesus, and I've been walking with him

ever since. Somebody came after me in

the middle of being ugly to them.

>> You can't judge a book by the cover,

man. You can't tell. You can't tell what

how bad somebody's looking for answers.

You have no idea because usually the

people looking the hardest for the

answers can be just the meanest folks

about the whole thing and and just get

on your case and and want you to leave

them alone, but they don't really want

you to leave them alone. They just

>> Right.

>> Yeah. Anyway, now in going back through

here, got to get moving. In going back

through here, he said, um,

he makes this statement, for this is

good and acceptable in the sight of God,

who would have all men to be saved and

to come under the knowledge of the truth

and so on. This whole chapter is good.

And uh, in talking about that, I uh, I

remember it was um, I I think it was

right. I think it was in this

auditorium. I think it was I think this

was after we expanded the the auditorium

here and it was it would have been um

October of 2008.

It was it you know the the the elections

you know where Barack Obama was elected

president uh which would have been uh

November of 2008. This was October and

uh you know and and really all I I I

told church I said I I don't get this. I

don't have any uncction to come in and

pray about the elections. I just have to

I've got uncction to come pray for the

nation. Don't know why. I don't know. I

can't tell you anything about that.

We're just going to come together and I

think we did that for a week or so. I'm

not real sure. But we we come in here

night after night and one night I'm just

walking along over right over in this

area

and and I heard on the inside, okay? It

wasn't a booming voice. It wasn't an

angelic visitation. I just heard on the

inside. I just heard inside just the

witness of the spirit, the voice of

stillness heard on the inside. There are

three spirits that have been unleashed

upon America again.

Okay, now that'll get your attention.

There are three spirits that have been

unleashed upon America again uh to try

to destroy her and I want you to do

something about it. I'm thinking, um,

you want who to do what? You know, I

don't have a clue what he's talking

about. Okay, this was 2008, October

2008. And I didn't even really know what

that meant. Well, you know, I got to

thinking about that and I think I told

the church, I said, I, you know, we we

just need to do something about this.

There are three spirits that have been

unleashed upon America again to try to

destroy her. And when he said, you're

going to have to do something about it,

I you know, I was smart enough to know

he didn't mean I have going to have to

do something about it. He meant we the

church are going to have to do something

about it. And so that much I knew. Well,

you know, in moving along, we um

a little while later, I was looking

through Brother Hagen's book on uh it

was it was originally the original copy

was called The Art of Intercession. They

re-edited the book and it came out, I

think, the art the art of prayer. Okay.

But I I cut my teeth on the art of

intercession. I've probably got multiple

copies of that and I spent a lot of time

reading that. Well, I dug that back out.

But I hadn't read it in quite a while.

And I got to one of the last chapters

and um in in going back through there,

one of the chapters was interceding for

your nation. And um when I when I got to

looking at that, I I pulled up that

chapter and in looking at that chapter,

uh I all of a sudden it's like uh I got

a good view of what was going going on.

And brother Hagen was talking in this in

this chapter and he said uh use this

verse, you know, where where uh Paul

wrote and he said uh um writing to

Timothy, I exhort therefore that first

of all supplications, prayers,

intercession, giving of thanks be made

for all men, for kings and for those

that are in authority. Used that verse

in there. And then he went on and and

talked about um how uh he was uh they

were doing camp meeting. Camp meeting

1979.

The last night of camp meeting they were

it was at the civic center downtown in

Tulsa. And um you know they had a a

suite up there where all the guest

ministers and other friends could go up

afterward. And they're up there you know

just fellowship and having a good time.

him said the spirit of God came on him

and he said it was about midnight and I

I told the other men he said the Holy

Ghost came on me and he said I stopped

and ministered to every one of them by

the spirit of God and he said I got to

pray I got to pray and he said I've had

the spirit of God come on me at

different times but I've never had it

come I've had it two or three times in

my life to that same degree and he said

uh so he said I got to praying about it

he said I started at midnight and I

finally quit praying when I did I

thought it had been probably an hour or

so it was 4:00 in the morning been

praying the the Holy Ghost came on me.

Prayed till 4:00 in the morning. But he

said um in this in this I want to just

kind of see if I can kind of hurry

through this and we're going to pray. He

said in this um

he said uh now now he said uh the spirit

of God showed up and he said this was

again this was um probably the end of

July 1979 it would have been in this he

said all of a sudden he said I saw uh

God showed me he said I saw

three

he said they would be almost like giant

froglike creatures. Well, sometimes evil

spirits can show up in the spirit

different ways. You look in Genesis or

uh Revelation, I think 15th chapter

talks about these three spirits that

were coming, you know, through the book

of Revelation, and they looked like

froglike creatures. But he said, "I saw

these three creatures coming up

technically coming up, as we'd say, out

of the Atlantic." And he said, one of

them was already out of the water. They

were like the size of a giant whale. One

of them came up out of the water and the

other two were just sticking their heads

up and they're they're about to invade

the nation. This was uh you know he's

seeing this in July of uh 1979

and he said uh they they came out and

they they began to come across the the

na they're heading out to try to destroy

the nation. Okay. Now you know and again

and you can misinterpret anything when

you start seeing things like that. It's

not that there's going to this big big

old ugly creature going to come walking

down the streets and start slapping

people. Um it's creatures like that. Uh

evil spirits have to work through

people. You know, Galatia uh Ephesians

chapter chapter 6 verse 10 11 something

like that. He says uh for we wrestle not

against flesh and blood but against

principalities, powers, rulers of the

darkness of this world, wicked spirits

in heavenly places. you know our you

know the bottom line people are not our

problem but the thing is people yield to

the wrong spirits and then they become a

problem

>> and so really that's what that was all

about was he was showing him he said

there are three spirits and this is 1979

there are three spirits and he's seeing

this these three spirits coming up out

of the Atlantic well doesn't mean

they're coming out of the ocean okay see

is usually a picture of large masses of

people so you know to get a good look at

this what he's saying is there are going

to be evil spirits are going to try to

work through the lives of individ

individuals in our nation and they're

going to try to work through leadership

and if you don't do your job concerning

praying for the leadership they are

going to cause real problems in the

nation. That's my interpretation of it.

So he's he's um

explaining this and then he said the

Holy Ghost the Lord spoke to him in this

visitation. He said I talked to you and

showed you this same thing back in this

is 1979. I showed you this thing back in

1970 and he said I showed you you saw

almost the same thing. There were three

spirits looked a little different, but

they're coming out of the east coast and

they ran clear across the nation. And he

said, "I told you what to do about it,

and you didn't do it." That's to what

you don't want to hear from the head of

the church. He said, "You didn't do what

I told you to do about that. And because

you didn't do that, there are things

that happened in your nation that

shouldn't have and wouldn't have

happened if you'd have done your job."

He said, "A man, I just fell down on the

floor and wept." I said, "Oh, God, I'm

so sorry. I didn't do what you told me

to do." And to kind of put a cap on this

part, he said, uh, there were things

coming into your nation back roughly

around 1970. This visitation came in

1970. He said, ' There are some things

coming across your nation. There were

three spirits that were unleashed upon

your nation to try to destroy and you

didn't do anything about it. And he

said, because of that, he said, you had

Watergate.

Everybody blamed president. He said, I'm

not going to hold him accountable. I'm

holding the church accountable when the

when we all get up before the throne of

God. I'm not I'm not going to hold the

president accountable for what happened

with Watergate. I'm going to hold the

church accountable because they weren't

praying for him.

And he said um he said and and then he

said and then and then he said and I I

remembered you know right after this I

don't know about you but um you know the

uh right at late60s I think it was 1969

was the the uh um uh when you know we

had the the big uh rock festival

>> Woodstock. Some of you know what that

was.

I had friends that went

tried to get me to go. Thought if I did,

my mother would have the US marshals out

looking for me and her right on the

front lines. But anyway,

Woodstock. So, I mean, we're looking

back at the late 60s, early 70s, and

there's Woodstock, there's the the

unrest in America, there's the the the

Kent State shootings, there's the the oh

my goodness, the Woodstock generation,

there's the hippie movement, there's

craziness in the nation. Does anybody

remember that?

>> Yeah, I try not to remember much of it,

but you know, a lot of us were around at

that. I was in college right around that

time, and it was full of crazy people.

My dorm was full of crazy people. Of

course, I wasn't one of them, but

Anyway, so looking back through there,

um

Jesus told him, "If you'd have done if

you would have done what I told you to

do,

then the then the uh the Watergate thing

wouldn't have happened. You could have

stopped that. You could have stopped

that." Uh how many remember when we had

uh goodness, it was uh Detroit, it was

uh Watts, it was Harlem. uh the the the

cities that were on fire, the areas that

were being burned down. He said those

fires would not have taken place, the

the the racial unrest, the financial

mess, the political unrest, all that.

That would not have happened. I I showed

you what was coming and I told you what

to do about it. You didn't do anything

about it. And he said, "I'm telling you

right now, there's some things coming

again." And he said, "It's different,

but it's sort of going to be the same

and you're going to have to do something

about it this time." He said, "Lord,

I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it." and

he said, "It'll be a little bit

different, but there's some things

coming concerning your president." It

wasn't too long after that that Ronald

Reagan had the assassination attempt.

They didn't think he was going to make

it. He's almost dead when they got him

to the hospital. He raised up and

finished his presidency. Okay? They

said, "There's some things concerning

the president. There's some things

concerning the finances. There's he said

there are three spirits and they're

going to try to affect the political

upheaval.

They're going to try to affect the

racial or social system. They're going

to try to affect the financial system in

your nation and you're going to have to

do something. If you'll do what you're

supposed to do and get the church

praying, then it's going to those things

won't come to pass. And so this, you

know, of course, this was 1970 and I I

didn't start walking with God till I was

until 72. So this is all news to me. But

going back through there when this came

in 1970, I remember that we were in

those meetings. We were in the camp

meeting that year. and and um you know

and and Jesus talked to him about this

and said you're going to have to do

something about this and he did and

Ronald Reagan, President Reagan's life

was spared, the financial things turned

around pretty good. We we had a good

season around that time. The church did

its job. Well, okay, I said all that to

say this. I didn't have a visitation. I

did not have a a a vision. I didn't have

an angelic visitation. But walking

across the auditorium, I did hear

there's a uh there are three spirits.

Now, I knew in 70 and I knew in 79 when

I read back through that book, the the

art of intercession that these three

spirits are going to influence people to

do what they do, which would be

financial, it would be econom or uh

financial, it would be social, and it

would be political.

And and so I knew that was, you know, I

knew that was kind of how these three

things WERE GOING. WELL, I'M walking

over here in the auditorium and I hear

on the inside there are three spirits

that have been unleashed upon America

again. When he said again, I thought

apparently this has been here before to

try to destroy her. And you're going to

have to do something about it. I knew he

didn't mean me. He I knew he meant the

church. We didn't do our job in 1970. We

did okay in 1979, but when we hit 2008,

we better get this right or we're going

to have a mess in our nation.

>> Okay? And and uh so I I the church I

believe the church prayed. I believe we

did our job by the Holy Ghost. I believe

we we we nullified some things. I

believe we minimized some things. I

believe we stopped some things. I

believe the church did our job and it

changed the whole it changed things.

Those three spirits were out to try to

raise people up and get people in

positions uh of some kind of authority

to try to mess with our country and turn

it into a wreck. But they didn't get to

do it. We're alive and well today. And

and u I'm going to stop with this

because we could go on and on, but but

this has been stirring in me for weeks

now. And I didn't have the same

encounter. Okay. Had that uh in 2008.

And then a number of years later, the

same thing kind of rose up on the inside

again. It wasn't as strong. It wasn't as

strong. But I did know there's something

that we the church. I don't know why

this keeps coming. It's it has goes in a

cycle. I don't know why we in the church

have to keep getting back down to

business and running this stuff off, but

we do have to. And I could be totally

wrong if I am. You know, the thing is if

I'm wrong, it doesn't hurt to pray.

>> Look at it that way. But it's been the

past, I don't know, couple weeks here.

Um, and and I don't know, it's not

because of what's on the news. I mean,

you've got you've got the upheaval in

goodness right now. I don't know. And I

don't mean this to throw off on certain

cities, but certain upheaval in Portland

and in uh Minneapolis and in I think in

Chicago. There are certain cities that

seem to have an upheaval. Well, we don't

wrestle against flesh and blood.

>> And we have to understand people are not

the problem. They may look like it and

act like it, but I'll tell you what, if

you if you let spirits get into these

places and find people that'll yield to

them, you'll end up with a technical

mess. And uh and I could be wrong, okay?

Hope I am. You know, you ever hope

you're wrong? I do quite often, but um

it just there's just something it seems

like in my in in my seamer. Okay. It

just seems like there's something

working out there. Something working.

And it says those same three kinds of

spirits that keep getting unleashed upon

America. It's financial, it's political,

and and it's uh social. And it'll get

people at each other's throats. It gets

racial. It gets people trying to kill

their own brothers and sisters and and

and people get ugly about things and

then the financial things get into a

mess and everybody gets in the middle of

that and the whole nation and it's all

about stopping the harvest.

>> It's all about stopping the harvest. I

don't know about you, I'm not willing to

give in that easy.

>> And I'm just going to I just wanted to

go this far and there's no use going any

further. If you want to get Brother

Hagen's book on uh the art of prayer,

something like that, read back through

it, uh it'll be good. You'll be glad you

got it. But I'd like us to pray. It just

seemed to me that one more thing we

needed to do before we finish the week

is to first of all take time to pray for

kings and those that are in authority.

We need I don't know about you. We need

to pray for our president.

>> Is he right, wrong, I don't I don't care

if he's right or wrong. We need to pray

for him,

>> our vice president. We need to pray for

the Supreme Court. How'd you like their

job? No, thank you. How about Congress?

How about And this goes this this

follows the trail. We need to be praying

for our governors. We need to pray for

our mayors.

>> We need to pray for city councils.

Anybody that's making decisions that

affect the church

in one way or another, we can pray for

them. When he says he he didn't tell us

to go chasing demons and try to get

frogs and and whales out of our country.

What he's saying is if we will pray,

that's how it all starts. If we will

pray for kings and those that are in

authority, we can lead a quiet and

peaceable life in all godliness and

honesty. And there's just a stirring a

stirring that's going on right now. And

we I mean sure we can jump over the

pond. We could pray for Israel. We

that's you know pray for the peace of

Jerusalem. We could pray for Iran. Okay,

that you know President Trump has said

you know you mess you mess with the

protesters. I am going to take care of

you. And they are all scared because

they know he's just wild enough he'll do

it. He'll put boots on the ground and

they'll just take care of a lot of

people. And uh so there's all this going

on. But I think if we just start with

our own country, if we just start with

with President Trump, Vice President

Vance, we pray for the Supreme Court for

for Congress, if we'll do our job and

pray for them, I believe we can pray for

them that we have a a quiet and

peaceable life in all godliness and

honesty. And if it comes on us like

that, it's going to start spreading out

to how we influence other nations. Like

somebody said, when America sneezes, the

world catches a cold. If we'll just do

our job, what we have here will spread

its way over to the Middle East. It'll

go over to to southern Europe. It'll go

over into Sudan. It'll go into Africa.

If we do our job, then our leadership

will do things that will cause it to be

peaceful in our own nation. And so, uh,

we've gone long enough, went longer than

I I planned on, but let's let's just

take a some time and let's pray for our

leaders. Let's do what we know to pray

for our leaders. We have the authority.

There's ain't nobody on planet earth

that has any more authority than the

church.

>> Amen.

>> I I'm going to say that again.

>> There's nobody on earth that has any

more authority than the church.

>> Second Thessalonians says we are

restraining force.

>> I don't even I don't even have to just

get ugly about it. If I just walk on

planet Earth, I am a restraining force.

The Antichrist can't even step into

power as long as you and I are alive.

>> And there's nothing he can do about it.

just by the fact we're alive and well.

We're doing good here. We're doing our

job. And the Antichrist says he can't

even get into his place until we check

out of here through the rapture. That's

how much dominion we have. That's

without doing it. Think if we do

something.

>> Think if we pray. Think if we jump into

our spot. I got to quit talking. Let's

pray. If you want to stand, if you want

to kneel, uh if you want to walk, you

find there's not a good and bad posture.

Just find where you're comfortable and

where you can give utterance to what's

on the inside. You've got the authority

on the inside of you to stop this stuff

that would try to mess with humans and

get our nation off course. It's not

going to happen. Not going to happen.

Not on our watch.

>> Thank you, dear Father. We thank you so

much for the privilege to be able to

pray. We don't take that lightly. We

don't take it lightly, dear Father. We

thank you that we are a, as Paul said, a

restraining force on planet Earth.

There's nothing anybody can do if we if

we put a stop to it.

And I believe, dear Father, now I don't

know. I can't really say for sure, but

it just seems to me it seems to me we're

bumping up against another one of those

things where where we're getting there's

we're getting a lot done on a worldwide

scale, but it just seems to me that

there's some things we need to get done

concerning putting a stop to this so

that we don't have to put up with this

mess. the the the deal we got with

Somalia, the deal we've got with uh uh

uh Putin and and Zillinsky and the deal

we've got with uh um with uh uh Israel

and the nations around Israel and so

many places, dear Father. There's so

much on the world scale and here we are

the one force on the planet that has the

power to be able to jump in, lock arms

with you and put a stop to a lot of

this. How much can we stop it all? I

don't know. But we'll stop all we can.

Stop it, minimize it, neutralize it, do

away with it. And so we thank you,

Father, now Holy Ghost, we look to you

to give us utterance.

and

you and you.

So we lift our voices. We lift our

voices. We lift our voices. We lift our
