Hallelujah. He's worthy podcast.

He's worthy.

I don't care what anybody tells you.

He's worthy.

Hallelujah. The people have been trying to run from him.

You've been trying to run from him. But you don't

know he's right there. He's right there. Others may have

rejected you.

But God accepts you. I don't know.

Who this is for.

But you're battling rejection.

You're battling abandonment. But God loves you. He said, I

have never left you nor forsook you. Even though you

have came far away from me, I am still near

to you, says God.

Whoever's on the podcast, you need to listen. God has

never left.

Even though you tried to leave him, he's still.

There with you.

And he loves you. Hallelujah. Oh, what a wonderful father

we have.

Oh, what a wonderful God that we serve. Aren't you

glad that you serve him? Aren't you glad that you

serve him? I don't care what's going on.

You are still alive today. When the devil meant to

take you out, God said, no, their soul belongs to me.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I see a cloud of glory in this place.

There's a cloud of glory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Jesus. There is no other. There is no other.

Hallelujah.

God, I thank you.

My God. My God. Hallelujah.

Jesus.

My God.

Jesus.

Jesus. Oh dear Jesus.

Thank you Jesus.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

Some of you on podcast.

Have to stop being afraid of letting go.

When it's time to worship.

Some of you need to stop being afraid of what

people are going to think when you worship him. Oh

my God, if I started worshiping him, my neighbors would

get upset. But you don't understand we're headed for times

like that. You don't know where we're heading, people. See,

you've been casual about your worship.

And praise, your prayer life.

You think God's always going to be there at the

place that you meet him. But see, Elijah had to

realize something. That when he went to search out God,

he didn't find him in the normal place. He said

that I'm a still small voice. He wanted him to

come to the revelation.

That he's in him.

That you don't have to go looking in the physical

things to find God. Everybody's looking for a sign. Everybody's

looking for a wonder. Everyone's looking for a manifestation. But

the manifestation that you get is when you're able to

pour out your heart to your God in worship.

Nobody wants to talk about that.

Nobody talks about intimacy. People don't understand what is about

to happen. They think that Jesus is coming back. Maybe

for them. But Jesus already came back for me. If

he put his word in me. If he put his.

Power in me.

Then he's already come back for me. If he put

the Holy Spirit of promise in me. He said after

you receive that you will receive power. He didn't put

power in me just to sit on it. He said

that it must be executed first.

In my life.

It must be life changing in my life first. That

when I begin to speak out of your belly would

flow rivers of living water.

Jesus my god thank you father.

What is wrong with the people of god what are

wrong with the people of god i was before the

lord last night and i said god why aren't people

up this late at night why are people sleep he

said because they're distracted I'm going to talk about it.

I'm going to do part two of retraction from your

own distractions. I was torn about what to say, what

to talk about. Well, you know, the spirit of God

just moved in there and the anointing was high.

Amen.

And you could have just went home. Yes, I could have.

I could have very well did that. But see, some

of you are distracted. See, you wait till you get

in the room and want to show off and worship.

But when you go home, why doesn't worship take you over?

Because worship is not just what you say and do.

It's a lifestyle that you live. Worship's not going to

bring you to places without his signet.

What are you talking about?

God's spirit is not going to bring you to places

where his light isn't. Well, somebody's listening. There's a thin

line that we're about to cross in these next couple

of months. And I want to say this. God was

speaking to me today. And he said some of them

are going to miss this because they are so distracted

that they cannot see the enemy is already approaching this nation.

He said that people are going to be off guard

because it's already here.

Mm-hmm. Yes, everybody wants us to hear their conversation.

I don't.

Some of you are about to be caught off guard.

Because the enemy is already here. God said this to

the people of God. We are about to face the

enemy from within. Yes, sir. See, there are seeds that

have been sown. I don't care who you voted for.

Because once you profess that you know Jesus, God's.

Going to test your profession.

Once you say that you're an intercessor and that you're

praying for the well-being of a nation, God is going

to test you. God is about to test this nation.

Because there are open doors that were left unshut. He

said distractions bring attractions that lead us off into distractions.

This country is being distracted with a problem. But we'll

soon realize that the problem will become their distraction from

the real enemy. There's a distraction that's got us all

looking in a different direction. But because this nation is

so divided in its thinking, there is something about to

creep in that is going to take our thinking.

Y'all are not listening.

See, whenever you give something over, and I'm prophesying right now,

when you give something over that didn't cost you anything,

when Esau or when Jacob or when Esau, I believe

it was Esau, sold.

His birthright for a piece of wonder bread. Oh, wait,

it wasn't. I don't think it was wonder bread.

Yeah. He didn't understand the full totality of what that

birthright cost. Esau was inherited to receive that inheritance. but

see he did not consider it as being important that

it spoke to lineage there are some things about to

happen in this country that are going to affect our

very lineage when it comes to who possesses generational wealth.

I'm getting ready to tell you some things that are

about to happen in our housing market.

That are going to determine who is going to be.

A carrier of generational wealth. There is a dividing line

between the haves and the have-nots that's about to get

even thicker.

Yes, it is.

As I said a couple of weeks ago, we are

about to count the cost. Don't let them fool you

and tell you that gas prices are coming down because

they're going to get a lot worse before they get better.

And so at this point, we start asking ourselves, who

do we really trust in when there's food that should

be on the shelf that won't be there? Mm-hmm.

When businesses that depend on certain.

Livestock cannot receive livestock, when God sends unhidden diseases to.

Our meat products. Oh, see, some of you don't know

where we're going. Well, why is he doing this?

Because once you say that you are of something, but

you do not manifest that you are of that something,

the Bible says when you know the truth and you

do not do it, it means that you are sinning.

We have come into a position of blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

When we say we're manifesting something that God is in,

but we are not allowing God to manifest in it.

That is blasphemy.

And so people have thought that because I can say

I'm a Christian, that that just solves the whole problem.

But see, the beginning of Christian means Christ. That means

that you exhibit Christ. But see, when you say you

exhibit Christ, but are of the devil. I'll just say

it like this. There's a thin line between love and hate.

And we're about to see that line in our streets.

But I'll see it as this. I'll see it more

like Islam and Christianity. There is an undercurrent that is

brewing in our nation. There are certain groups that are

planning rallies in our cities that aren't.

Going to be peaceful, but are going to take lives

of its citizens.

You see, the only way that God can manifest that

there is an enemy is by bringing it to the

forefront using physical, demonstrative things. Things from the unseen realm

cannot manifest without a tangible instrument. That's right. We have

a body, but the spirit of God cannot manifest without

a physical, tangible instrument called a person.

Let's go to Nehemiah chapter six. We are not going

to be here very long.

I just want to finish out this second part of

retraction from the distraction.

This is part two. Y'all give me a few minutes.

Thank you, Jesus.

Excuse me as we take a break. Praise him.

I'm sorry, you guys.

If you'd like to get in contact with the ministry,

telephone number.

Is 860-500-8837.

And you can email us at eternalfireministries at gmail.com. Sorry,

we got a little excited earlier and we didn't get

to greet you and meet. My name is Jonathan Hardwick,

the one and only. You may have my name, but

you don't have my father's DNA. Well, some of you

may have it. You don't have my height. Well, maybe

some of you might have it. But anyway, Nehemiah chapter 6.

Nehemiah 6 · chapter mention

If I could get there, that'd be nice. We got

minister flipping in the house. She brought her fire feet.

We got ladles of love.

In the house.

She's out there selling her jelly and making profit. We

got keeping your hearts aflame. April Cornelius in the house.

Amen.

All ministers of the gospel. Oh, start in your own

trouble in different ways. Front line of prayer.

Amen.

I can't wait till.

I get back because we're going to have a little

shut in when I get back.

We're going to have a shut in. Amen.

Oh, we don't have shut ins. Yeah, because you're too

busy shutting out. Got a few little activities planned when

I get back.

So where are you going?

Oh, you know what?

I'll tell you where I'm going. You see, I thought

I was going south. And God wants me to go north.

Amen.

I'll be another state over. I'll be starting some trouble

in Massachusetts. Yeah, because I think they need it. Where

are you going to be at?

Wherever my father says to go. I tried to be

nice and start my palace, and he said, I don't

want that right now.

That's a whole other story, y'all. A whole other story.

I'm trying to figure this out.

Nehemiah chapter 6 verse 1.

Nehemiah 6:1

Now it happened.

Now I just got this scripture while I was outside,

so y'all forgive me. If I shout and preach and

we don't get anywhere else, this is it.

Because y'all know me. Holy Ghost get going, that's it.

Now, it happened when Sanballat, oh, I think we're in

the right place. Tobiah, Gershom, and Erev, and the rest

of our enemies heard that EFM had finished building the wall.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Did I put something? You know, it's funny.

News travels very quickly.

Yes, they do.

See, what you shouldn't do, I'm going to try to

stay on topic, but you know, the Holy Ghost is

moving already. See, sometimes when you minimize something, you don't

realize how great it really is. You should never look

at the space that somebody is in temporarily because you

really don't see anything functioning. Just because you don't see

something functioning.

Does not mean that that not building.

Oh, I think now I know what I think God

meant when I was in the living room and he said,

don't get it all cute and beautiful because I'm going

to change a few things. Don't underestimate somebody when they're

in the building process. You're in some little room somewhere. Oh,

and the paint is chipping. And I don't think nothing

is really going on anyway because I don't think they

really need me right now. So I'll come back when

they have the children's center.

Right. Well, I hate to tell you, we ain't having

no children's center.

See, one thing about God, and when you're building things, oh,

I'm getting in somebody's business.

See, some of you think just because you've got the blueprint,

you've got the building.

Well, let me get through the scripture, and then we'll

go back and we'll go to work. Oh, I can

see we're going in a different direction already. Maybe I

should have changed the title to what's being built.

But I better not.

The rest of their enemies heard that I had rebuilt

the wall and that there were no breaks left in it. See,

people underestimate you.

Oh, yes, they do.

When you think that, well, you know, the last time

he didn't have things in order. He put some little

piece of plastic, a little vision statement up there. And

they thought they got something building and think they got

it going on. See, you should never underestimate where somebody is. See,

because you don't know what God is building. But we're

about to find out.

Through at that time, I had not hung the doors

in the gates.

See, the structure wasn't in place yet in totality. See,

what you were doing was there was a time at

one point when you were with me when it started

to be built. But then you decided to take a

side exit. It's going to get tight now. But see,

you don't understand that when you took that side exit,

you only saw part of the blueprints.

But watch this.

That Sam Ballett and Gershom sent to me saying, come

let us meet together among the villages in the plain

of Ono.

Well, Ono must have got a revelation.

They thought to do me harm see one thing about

nehemiah oh see oh lord don't get me started i

can see it already see one thing about nehemiah i

believe he was a prophet That he was a seer

and he could see things that were occurring before they

could happen.

One thing about a builder.

Oh, I don't know how we got into here, but

I guess we'll just keep going. See, one thing about

a builder. A builder is a visionary. Oh, here we go. See,

the problem is some of you are building things without

the vision. Well, who's the vision? I got the blueprint here.

I got everything put together the way I want it.

I am in control. But see, the problem is, is

your vision is being obstructed by something that may look

like it's built. But in reality, it doesn't have all

of the checks and requirements from the master builder.

Right, right, right, right, right.

Mm hmm.

Let's keep reading because I'm trying to I'm Lord, I'm

trying to stay on the distraction and you got me.

Talking about building. That's all right.

Come let us meet together amongst the villages in the

plain of.

Oh, no.

But I see Nehemiah said, oh, no, he said, but

they thought to do me harm. So I sent messengers

saying I am doing a great work.

So that I cannot come down. Uh-oh, y'all missed it.

I hope somebody caught it. See, some of you don't realize. See,

I don't have time.

To deal with the peasants. I don't have time to.

Deal with the village workers. I ain't got time to

deal with... Wait a minute, what village could I put....

Mayberry Village.

I ain't got time to be dealing in the mall.

I ain't got time to be hanging out with the

religious folk. I ain't got time to be meeting and

greeting and kissing with the Pope.

I ain't got time to be with all the paparazzi.

Of Christianity.

I don't have time for that. I've got a work

to do. And my daddy said at an appointed time,

I'm supposed to build this temple and I'm not moving

from my position. See, some of you need to get

like that. Some of you need to get like that.

It's some people that all they want to do is talk.

But by the time you're finished talking to them, you're

out of position.

Oh, I'm talking to somebody.

So I sent messengers to them saying, I'm doing a

great work so that I cannot come down, meaning I

cannot come out of the position that God put me in.

Why should the work cease? While I leave it and

go down to you. Oh, y'all don't even understand.

Oh, my God.

But they sent me this message four times.

Mm-hmm. And I answered them in the same manner. Mm-hmm.

Then Simballot, he got a little bit, he got a little,

you know, technical. He got a little more advanced.

Mm-hmm.

He said, because if I can't get him to respond,

I'm going to get him in a place of fear.

Then Siballot sent his servant to me as before the

fifth time. I think he's kind of determined. With an

open letter in his hand. In it was written. It

is reported among the nations. And Gershon said. Oh, do

you know what I heard? I'm going to put it

in the spirit. I must be Nehemiah then.

Did you hear?

Now they're in Rockville. But now that's not enough for them.

Did you hear he had a ministry? I heard they're

in Springfield. See, y'all don't even know where I'm going. No,

that's not enough. And did you hear they built a

podcast in Vernon and now they got one in Springfield now?

And now all of a sudden, now they act like

they want to take over the whole radio station.

I do.

But see, you don't know what God is building.

See, while they're concerned with AI, artificial intelligence, I'm going

to be artificially intelligence seeing his spirit.

Across New England. Amen. So they got together and they

gossiped and they got together.

They said, we're going to put a little propaganda out here.

And you have also appointed prophets. Oh, I think I

got a couple of prophets in here. to proclaim concerning

you at Jerusalem, saying, where is the king in Judah?

Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore,

and let us consult together. But see, Nehemiah wasn't stupid

like some of y'all. See, let me tell you something.

You know what I've learned?

Mm-hmm.

God, well, let me finish this verse and then I'll

say it.

Then I said to him, say, no such things as

you say are being done. Wait a minute. He wasn't

even at the meeting. He didn't comply with the distraction.

But you invent them in your own heart.

You know what I've learned?

You know, when I started, when this ministry got started,

I asked God a question. I said, Lord, I don't

understand if I'm going in the right place.

You want me to go?

And at that time, I had 50 different distractions. I said, Lord,

I hear this voice that says, I work the greatest.

Miracles in the small things.

That's right.

Very good.

And then he began to tell me some things in

my spirit about the ministry that would be burnt. See,

the building process doesn't start with the ministry.

Oh God, I know somebody about to be messed up.

The building does not start with your blueprint. The building

doesn't start with your education, folks. I don't care how

much educated you are. The building starts with you. And see,

I can understand why some of your churches are a wreck.

I can understand why the love ain't in the place.

Because I don't have to meet you to know what

is going on in this church.

All I have to do Is meet with the people.

That attend this place. To know. What is being built.

In this place. Building starts with you.

It starts with the inside.

And then manifests outwardly.

And so.

In this state. Nehemiah is saying. I don't care what.

You send me. I don't care what you try to.

Create in your emotions. I don't care what you send

in authority against me, but I'm not moving from the

position that God has built in me to stand.

And see what you don't realize is this.

What will be built will be manifested. Let's get to

our distractions, folks. The purpose of distractions is to lead

us to what attracts us until we are totally consumed.

In our distraction.

The enemy doesn't send you something that you hate.

That's right.

He sends you something that you love greatly. Greatly attracted

to this flesh.

God. Well, let me see this. When God distracts, see

big difference.

It's his attention to divert our own will into what

has been purposed using a roadblock. Oh, I know someone

on podcasts is listening. God makes you to believe that

you're in control. He makes you to believe. But see,

there are some obstructions that are outside of our control.

Y'all don't know I'm prophesying in here. Y'all don't even

know what I'm saying.

There are some distractions that seem like an obstruction in

your life, but are only designed to move you in

place where God hath ordained you.

Like some of us with a construction site.

Some of us would have never known that there was

a grocery store on the other side had not the

construction been in place to rip up the road. We

would have never known that something else was waiting on

the other side. Like this morning, when I woke up

this morning and I said, God, I thank you. Before

I step on the floor, before I even take my

first breath in the morning, I said, God, I thank you.

I don't know what's happening with me. I feel like

I'm pregnant.

But there are certain things in my life that I'm

doing that I normally wouldn't be doing.

Now, all of a sudden, I begin to thank God

even more.

Like the night before, when I was up and I

was going through so much in my mind. How many

people have been beginning to attack in their mind?

Okay.

One, two.

Okay.

And honey, let me tell you something.

Last night I was sitting there washing the dishes and

the enemy began to attack my mind with all sorts

of things and bombard my thinking and bombard my mind

and the thoughts to the point where I've been having headaches.

I've been having pressure, tension, headaches.

And so when I began to sit down on the

couch and began to see all the bills.

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I'm not.

I'll talk about, you know, God, I'll talk about me.

They can sit there and look crazy. When I sat

there and looked at all the bills and said, God, Jesus,

how in the world did I get here? All these

thoughts are in my head talking about how in the

world could you have allowed yourself to charge up that

credit card? And how could you have allowed yourself to

be in that much debt? And how can you say

that you're a man of God and talk about stewardship

and you are the worst?

And all then the other night I had a I

had a thought in.

My mind talking about I'm going to kill you. I'm

going to take you out of here just like your parents.

You're going to be alone and you're not going to

have anybody.

I'm sorry. I guess none of you have those thoughts either.

But in the midst of all of it, I'm sorry

if I could shout in here.

But in the midst of everything that the enemy's trying

to throw in a distraction in my mind, guess what

I said out of all of it? I sat down

on the bed last night. I didn't cry about my bills.

I didn't cry about the thoughts that were in my mind.

I said, God, I thank you. And my flesh said, what?

What is wrong with you? How can you say, God,

thank you? I said, God, I thank you for letting

me go through this process. I'm going to get ready

to preach up in here. I want to thank you, God,

for keeping me in the midst of... I could have

went crazy because some people should have belonged in.

A crazy bin by the time that they were over

with all these thoughts.

And I could feel an undercurrent trying to take.

My mind over... But guess what, honey? God reminded me.

He said, I'm building up something that is in sure

ground through.

The faithfulness, through the faith of entrusting in me.

See, some people don't realize you think by taking one

step that that means something, honey. You may have to

break your mind in order to take that one step

towards faith. And in the midst of all of that.

I said, God, thank you, Lord. Thank you for keeping me. God,

all I want to do, even through all of this process,

all the distraction, all the financial calamity, all the things

going on in my family, all the things going on

in my mind, all the things, the discouragement, the despair,

people walking out.

And don't know why they walked out. And in the

midst of all of.

That, I said, God, thank you for allowing me to

go through this temporary situation. I thank you, God, for

making me have a heart of compassion for your people. God,

I'm willing to do what it is that you have

called me to do. I am willing to be an

example unto righteousness to people that don't know you. God,

I thank you. And by the time I was saying

to my flesh, what the hell is wrong with you?

We are broke. We don't have any money. But guess what?

You don't understand that I'm more richer than some of

you on podcast.

Some of you don't understand what your distraction is ordained.

For.

Distraction only brings you to a place, but not what

you have been destined for. When it comes to our

own distractions, it leads us off course from what God

truly endorsed for our lives. See, God endorsed means he

has publicly approved through the testimony that you live. You

have completed this place. And so now I have to advance.

You to a bigger space.

But see, when you start getting into the bigger space,

when you start getting into a place that is complete,

here comes the distractions. I was sitting here getting my

sermon ready. And I said, God, I was so focused

in my prayer. In my sermon, I was so focused.

I was so focused on my word. And here comes

the family. My sister, she's upset because they took the dog.

I mean does somebody get upset about that but see

I could have I could have entertained that conversation And

I felt.

Really bad for her.

I was like, thank God. I'm glad the dog is gone.

I've been praying the dog would leave. I guess my

prayer got answered.

Excuse me for one second.

She said.

Thank God the dog is dead.

And she was so upset that the dog was gone.

And I'm sitting here, why is she so upset about

the dog gone? See, when God moves your distractions, he

reveals to you how much of a place they really

had in your life. Why am I crying over a dog?

Maybe where you're going, God doesn't need you to have

the dog.

That's right.

And it's amazing how we are. You know, some people

think they can manipulate you.

Oh, I better not go there. Oh, I better not go.

You know, some distractions have manipulation attached to it. But see,

when God is removing. God is removing so he can reposition. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

See, that means that you're going higher.

See, the very thing that bothered me, now it don't

bother me no more.

See, I've had the.

Instances with a couple of people that attend here.

Uh-oh. Oh, I better stop it.

See, what used to bother me about people being here

doesn't bother me anymore because I've got too much terrain

to find people.

Uh-huh.

Amen.

Let me read.

Let me go to this. Let me go to Martha

and Mary, Luke chapter.

10, verse 38. Y'all turn it here. I got to do.

Something real quick.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you, Lord. Let's see. Luke chapter 10 verse 38.

Luke 10:38

Don't worry, we'll be done in 15 minutes.

Luke chapter 10, 38.

Luke 10 · chapter mention

Now it happened as they went. I'm sorry.

Now it happened as they went that he entered a

certain village.

What is up with that village thing? I don't understand

what it is.

And a certain woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

And she had a sister called Mary who also sat

at Jesus' feet and heard the word. So there were

two people sitting there. But Martha was distracted with much serving.

And she approached him and said, Lord, do you not

care that my sister has left me to serve alone?

Therefore, tell her to help me.

And Jesus answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you

are worried and troubled about many things.

But one thing is needed.

And Mary has chosen the good part. Which will not

be taken away from her. Spotify, Heart Radio, it's been

a pleasure. Podcast, it's been a pleasure. I feel impressed

to stop right there. Did you just stop in the

middle of the scripture? Yes, I'll pick it up another day.

Everybody could be in the room. The Bible says one will.

Be caught up.

One will be left. One will be grinding in the field.

One will be left. I'm not talking about the rapture.

Let me help you with, oh, you know what? This

must be one of those nights.

Let me help you with all the false prophets that

are talking about the rapture is coming. We were just

wrapped up, raptured up about.

45 minutes ago.

Beautiful.

And see, my body didn't go anywhere. We were raptured

up in the spirit. When it says being caught up

in the air, it's talking about being caught up in

the spirit.

Air means fuma. It means spirit.

So your rapture is not taking place in the sky.

It's taking place in the spirit. One will be caught up,

one will be left. What it means is one will

receive the word. But one will not. Because one is

distracted on the things of the flesh.

We're headed in those times. There's so much word going forth.

But no one can discern the signs of the times.

And I'm not talking about volcanoes and earthquakes in diverse places,

but nobody can discern what is happening in the spirit.

Spotify, it's been a pleasure. I hope to hear from

you soon. It should be sometime next week.

I'm in preparation for a sermon that I was supposed

to do tonight, but I need some more time on it.

I'm going to give you the title of it because

I am going to talk about it the next time

that I come. And I don't normally give out my sermon,

but I'm going to do it tonight.

Title of the message is I am getting in to

fit in.

I'm going to talk to all the saints that want

to fit in with the world. But you're going to

have to wait till next week. So if I if

I rip up your veil next week. Some of you

don't have to come back. This is a free podcast anyway.

I don't ask for money anyway. But next week, that's

what we'll be talking about. We'll be talking about those

that want to hang out with the world and compromise

the word of God.

So if I end up being in your church, too bad.

But until I hear.

From you again, or you hear from me again, I

pray that you have a blessed rest of your week and.

God bless you. We're going to end out here with this.

He's the rock. Amen.

Put your hand together.

Put your hand.

Together. Put your hand together. Come on now.

I like it so Come on, go with.

Me If you believe in love, yeah Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Everybody move. Everybody move. Come on.

Everybody move.

Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Everybody come on.

Everybody come on. Come on. Hey.

Oh, yeah. Thank you for watching. Thank you.
