(MUSIC)

COME ON, CHURCH!

GET UP ON YOUR FEET. LET'S GIVE HIM SOME GLORY THIS MORNING.

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

WE WORSHIP YOU, OUR GOD. WE HONOR YOU TODAY. WE WELCOME

YOU INTO YOUR HOUSE, AND WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD BE GLORIFIED IN

ALL THAT WE DO AND ALL THAT WE SAY, WOULD NOT ONLY BE THE

SPIRIT OF TRUTH BUT WOULD BE THE SPIRIT OF GOD. AND WE WELCOME

YOUR PRESENCE TODAY. LORD, WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS.

AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GOD SAID—

AMEN.

THAT'S NOT TOO BAD.

ALL RIGHT.

NOT TOO BAD, FIGURING IT'S BEEN SO CLOUDY AND RAINY FOR DAYS.

BUT WE'RE FINALLY GETTING SOME FALL WEATHER.

YEAH.

WE LIKE THAT.

AMEN.

I KNOW. WE'RE TIRED OF THE HEAT.

YEP. THE HOUSE NOW IS DECORATED LOOKING LIKE FALL. SO IT'S TIME

FOR THE OUTSIDE TO MATCH THE INSIDE NOW.

YES.

TO MATCH THE INSIDE.

THAT IS THE TRUTH.

ANYBODY STAY UP LAST NIGHT AND WATCH THE LSU/OLE MISS GAME?

ANYBODY STAY UP? YEP, I DID. I STAYED UP AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE

BECAUSE I KEPT DOZING OFF THINKING THERE WAS GOING TO BE

SOME GREAT FINISH.

BUT ANYWAY, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT SIDE YOU'RE ON IF THERE WAS

A GREAT FINISH OR NOT.

BUT ANYWAY, YEAH, OH WELL. WELL, I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY PACKER DAY

TODAY. WELL, IT'S PACKER DAY. AND IT'S GOD'S DAY. I DON'T KNOW

WHAT ANYONE'S SAYING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. BUT

ANYWAY, WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. HOW MANY OF

YOU ARE NOW FULLY RESTED AFTER A GREAT

OPENING THE HEAVENS CONFERENCE?

OH, WOW.

YES. WASN'T THAT AN AMAZING CONFERENCE?

IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

AND HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO BE BACK HERE NEXT YEAR?

OH, PERFECT.

WE'RE EXCITED.

AND HOW MANY OF YOU ARE OKAY WITH AFTERNOON MEETINGS?

MORNING MEETINGS, EVENING MEETINGS, MEETINGS.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

YOU KNOW, IT TOOK ME TILL LIKE PROBABLY, I DON'T KNOW, I DID

SOME INTERVIEWS ON THURSDAY, AND I WAS DRAGGING. AND I SAID,

BRENDA, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG WEEK. BUT

ANYWAY, I FINALLY FEEL LIKE I GOT MY STRENGTH BACK.

HOW MANY OF YOU REALLY SLEEP GOOD DURING THE CONFERENCE?

YOU'RE LIKE, I THINK YOU GET 9 HOURS THE WHOLE WEEKEND. I DON'T

KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT I GET HOME AND I THINK I'LL BE SO TIRED,

I'LL BE SO EXCITED FROM WHATEVER GOD DID IN THE SERVICE THAT

NIGHT, AND I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP.

SO LET ME ASK YOU GUYS, YOU'RE UP HERE PLAYING ALL THE TIME,

RIGHT? SO LIKE, DO YOU REST YOUR ARMS FROM DRUMMING? LIKE ALL

WEEK, DO YOU JUST LAY ON THE BED AND JUST PUT YOUR ARMS LIKE

THIS? NO, YOU GOT 2 LITTLE KIDS. ARE YOU KIDDING? EDDIE, WHAT

ABOUT YOU? DO YOU JUST— LIKE HAVE YOUR WIFE DO YOUR STUFF? DO

YOU HAVE FINGER REST?

YEAH.

HE'S NOT GOING TO ADMIT IT. ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE WANT TO DO THIS.

WE WANT TO GREET ALL OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AROUND THE WORLD.

LISTEN, IF YOU WERE ABLE TO COME TO THE CONFERENCE, WE THANK YOU

FOR TAKING THE TIME TO OMAHA, NEBRASKA. AND IF YOU WERE ABLE

TO WATCH, LET US KNOW. AND WE WANT TO HONOR YOU TODAY AS WELL.

WELL, BRENDA, I'VE GOT A GREAT WORD TODAY. I'M GOING TO

CONTINUE KIND OF OUR SERIES THAT WE'VE BEEN ON FOR A LITTLE

WHILE. I TRIED TO GO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. I FELT LIKE THE LORD

KEPT SAYING SOMETHING VERY, VERY IMPORTANT, AND I THINK IT'S

CRUCIAL FOR NOT ONLY LIFE, BUT I THINK AS WE CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE

INTO THE FUTURE HERE, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. YES,

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SPEAKING RIGHT THINGS.

YES.

HOW MANY OF YOU, YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I COULD PROBABLY

BRUSH UP ON THAT? NOBODY WANTS TO ADMIT. OKAY, I MUST HAVE THE

WRONG MESSAGE.

ALWAYS, EVERY WEEK I CAN BRUSH UP ON THAT. IT'S GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M READY TO WORSHIP THE LORD, BUT I DID ALSO

WANT TO MENTION ONE OF OUR OFFICERS MENTIONED THAT SOMEONE

NAMED DAVID, YOU LOST YOUR ID, SO THEY DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD

CALL YOU DAV NOW OR WHAT, SO. I SET YOU UP ON THAT ONE. I GOT

YOU. I GOT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

WATCHING. EVEN OUR OFFICERS WERE LIKE, "HUH?" I GOT EVERY, I WOKE

YOU UP, BRENDA. I WORKED HARD ON THAT ONE THIS WEEK.

OKAY.

THE DAD JOKES ARE MY SPECIALTY. YOU DIDN'T GET IT.

HOW MANY VISITORS? YOU GOT IT. YOU'RE SMARTER

THAN THE REGULAR PEOPLE.

OH MY WORD.

SOME OF YOU ARE STILL GOING, HUH? POOR DAVID, I HOPE HE GETS

HIS ID BACK. DID YOU GET IT, OFFICER HARRY? NO, YOU DIDN'T.

OKAY, HE DID. HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT IT. ALL RIGHT, WELL,

LET'S MOVE ON.

ALL RIGHT.

I MEAN, WHEN I SAID IT, YOU'RE ALL LIKE— OKAY, OKAY, I'M

RETIRING FROM DAD JOKES.

NO, PLEASE DON'T. I WANT TO GUESS THEM EVERY WEEK.

I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I'M 88.

OH, OKAY, WHATEVER. ALL RIGHT, WELL, YOU DECIDED TO BE HOW MANY

ARE HAPPY TO BE IN GOD'S HOUSE TODAY? ALL RIGHT, WELL, THERE'S

FREEDOM IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY. I

THINK WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO IS JUST STRETCH YOUR HANDS OUT LIKE

THIS. SAY, LORD, I'M GOING TO SHAKE OFF MY WEEK A LITTLE BIT.

KIND OF SET ASIDE ANYTHING THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO GO RIGHT,

ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE. YOU KNOW, IN THE

BIBLE THEY CALLED— THERE WERE WAVE OFFERINGS. THEY WOULD WAVE.

AND THERE'S JUST SOMETHING SOMETIMES ABOUT JUST THAT ACT OF

SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST SET ALL THAT ASIDE. FOR A MOMENT

TO FOCUS ON JESUS. AMEN. AND I PROMISE, IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT

ATTITUDE, LIKE PASTOR SAID, YOU'LL GET MINISTERED TO TODAY.

YOU'LL RECEIVE SOMETHING THAT IS LIFE-CHANGING. AMEN. HOW MANY OF

YOU WANT TO WALK OUT OF HERE BETTER THAN WHEN YOU CAME IN?

AMEN. AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT. SO THROW THOSE HANDS UP

AND SAY, LORD, I'M IN RECEIVING MODE. MINISTER TO ME TODAY. HELP

ME GROW. HELP ME BECOME A BETTER PERSON. AND MOST OF ALL, HELP ME

FOLLOW JESUS. AND LORD, TODAY I PROMISE— YOU READY?— TO GIVE YOU

MY VERY BEST PRAISE. COME ON, SHOUT LIKE YOU BELIEVE THAT, AND

LET'S PRAISE THE LORD.

HOW MANY IN HERE HAVE A TESTIMONY?

ANYTHING GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU?

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

(MUSIC)

WE ADORE YOU. COME ON, JUST WORSHIP HIM.

THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ALL OVER THE WORLD, JUST EXTEND

YOUR HEART, LIFT UP YOUR VOICE, AND WORSHIP HIM. WORSHIP HIM. WE

WORSHIP YOU, JESUS. WE WORSHIP YOU AND EXALT YOU, THE LIVING

GOD, OUR KING, THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF ALL LORDS. OH,

HOW WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU, LORD. WE

KNOW THE ANGELS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, THEY CONTINUE TO DECLARE

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY ARE YOU, OUR GOD. WE

WORSHIP YOU. WE HONOR YOU. I WANT YOU JUST TO GIVE HIM

THANKS. GIVE HIM THANKS. JUST GIVE HIM THANKS. YOU KNOW,

BRENDA AND I WERE PRAYING THIS MORNING AND WE JUST OPENED UP

OUR PRAYER TIME JUST GIVING HIM THANKS. WE THANK YOU FOR ALL THE

BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR US. AND THE GREATEST

THING THAT YOU DID FOR US, FATHER, IS YOU SENT JESUS CHRIST

BECAUSE YOU SO LOVED US. AND WE THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR COMING AND

SHEDDING YOUR INNOCENT BLOOD UPON THE CROSS SO THAT WE ARE

NOW FORGIVEN. WE HAVE A BENEFITS PACKAGE, A COVENANT PACKAGE, AND

WE HONOR YOU, OUR LORD AND OUR GOD. I WANT THEM TO PUT A

SCRIPTURE UP REAL QUICK BECAUSE SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED TO BE

DOWN THERE THAT I WANT TO EXPLAIN TO YOU AND THEN PRAY FOR

YOU. SO PUT UP HEBREWS CHAPTER 13, VERSE 2, IF YOU WOULD BE

Hebrews 13:2

SO KIND. IT SAYS, BE NOT FORGETFUL TO ENTERTAIN

STRANGERS, FOR THEREBY SOME HAVE ENTERTAINED ANGELS UNAWARE. HOW

MANY OF YOU THAT ARE HERE TODAY, MAYBE YOU'RE ONE OF OUR VISITORS

THAT CAME IN, AND MAYBE YOU'RE WATCHING, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER

HAD SOMETHING HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE TO WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, THAT

I WAS AN ANGEL. YOU EVER HAD THAT HAPPEN? I'VE HAD THAT

HAPPEN TO ME SEVERAL TIMES. BE AWARE ANGELS ARE IN YOUR

PRESENCE. I REMEMBER ONE OF THE MOST VIVID THINGS, AND I'LL TELL

YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, THEN WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU. I

REMEMBER THIS WAS BEFORE I WAS EVER PASTORING THIS CHURCH. I

WAS LITERALLY A MILE AND A HALF OVER ON 132ND AND L STREET,

RIGHT OVER THERE. AND I WAS UP THE HILL A LITTLE BIT. AND FOR

WHATEVER REASON, I NEVER PICK ANYBODY UP, RIGHT? I JUST DON'T.

MAYBE YOU DO, YOU KNOW, BUT I JUST— I DON'T UNLESS I FEEL

DIRECTED TO DO SO. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, I FELT

DIRECTED. AND THERE'S THIS LITTLE OLD GUY STANDING OUT

THERE, AND I SAID TO HIM, HEY.

I PULLED OVER.

I SAID, YOU OKAY? DO YOU NEED SOMETHING? HE JUST SMILED, AND

HE SAID, HOW ARE YOU TODAY? I SAID, NO, I'M ASKING YOU HOW

YOU'RE DOING. HE SAID, CAN YOU GIVE ME JUST A QUICK RIDE? AND I

SAID, SURE, I'D BE GLAD TO. WHERE ARE YOU GOING? AND HE

REALLY DIDN'T SAY. HE SAT, AND HE SAID, REVIVAL IS COMING. I

SAID, WHAT DID YOU SAY? HE SAID, REVIVAL IS COMING, AND IT'S

SOONER THAN YOU THINK. AND HE SAID, THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS

GOING TO BE REVEALED. AND I THOUGHT, WHO ARE YOU? AND THEN

HE LOOKED AT ME, AND AGAIN, I HAD NOT YET PASTORED. AND HE

SAID TO ME, HE SAID, PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU'RE PART OF

THAT GLORY. AND I SAID, OKAY. AND HE SAID, HEY, PULL OVER. AND

IT WAS RIGHT AS YOU GET READY TO TURN TO COME DOWN TOWARDS OUR

CHURCH. HE ASKED TO BE LET OUT. AND I WENT AND I SAID, HEY,

THANK YOU. IMMEDIATELY HE WAS GONE.

I PULLED OVER.

I SAID, NO WAY, NO WAY. YAHWEH, YAHWEH. HE WAS GONE. I WAS

STANDING RIGHT THERE, AND I OPENED MY EYES AND AN ANGEL

JUST WALKED RIGHT PAST ME. I'M SERIOUS. NOW, YOU— SOME OF YOU

IN THIS ROOM, YOU MIGHT BE FREAKING OUT. OH, THAT'S WEIRD.

I JUST SHOWED YOU WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. YOU BETTER BE AWARE

THERE'S ANGELS AROUND YOU. AND, AND HIS, HIS WING, I KNOW IT

BRUSHED UP AGAINST ME. HE WALKED RIGHT BY. I'M LIKE, WELL, MAYBE

HIS WINGS WERE TOO BIG AND HE COULDN'T CONTAIN IT. I DON'T

KNOW. OR, YOU KNOW, OR MAYBE IT WAS THE SIZE OF MY SHOULDER YOU

KNOW, I'M GIVING CREDIT TO THE ANGEL. MAYBE IT WAS ME, YOU

KNOW, AND HE PRESSED RIGHT PAST ME. AND THE LORD SAID, HANK,

TELL THE PEOPLE, BE AWARE, ANGELS ARE AMONG THEM. WELL,

WHAT DO YOU DO IF AN ANGEL'S AMONG YOU? WELL, YOU PUT THEM TO

WORK, AND THEY DON'T MIND BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN SENT FOR

YOU TO MINISTER FOR YOU WHO HAVE A RIGHT. YOU'RE AN HEIR OF

SALVATION. YOU ARE A BENEFICIARY. WHAT'S THE WORD?

BENEFICIARY. WHATEVER THE BENEFICIARY TO— YOU HAVE A— THEY

SERVE YOU ON BEHALF OF A COVENANT. AND YOU KNOW THAT THE

BIBLE TALKS ABOUT HOW THEY MINISTER IN HEALING, THEY

MINISTER IN PROTECTION. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THEY DO. THEY

OPEN THE WAY FOR YOU. THEY GATHER FOR YOU. AND GOD HAD THAT

HAPPEN. I MEAN, IT WAS SO QUICK, BUT I KNEW WHAT I SAW AND I KNEW

WHAT I FELT. HE SAID— AND THEN I WAITED FOR THE VOICE OF THE

LORD. HE SAID, TELL THE PEOPLE TO BE AWARE, MORE AWARE. THERE'S

ANGELS AMONG YOU. WOW, THAT ONLY GETS ONE HAND CLAP, YOU KNOW.

WELL, GOD, I GAVE HIM THE MESSAGE.

ONLY ONE PERSON WAS EXCITED, OKAY.

SO I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,

MAYBE YOU NEED A BREAKTHROUGH TODAY. MAYBE YOU NEED AN ANGEL,

AND ANGELS TO GO AND MAKE THE WAY.

HOW MANY NEED SOMETHING TO OPEN

UP FOR YOU? HOW MANY NEED HEALING? HOW MANY OF YOU

SOMETIMES GET A LITTLE AFRAID? MAYBE YOU'RE WATCHING, GET A

LITTLE AFRAID. ANGELS PROTECT. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU

FOR WHAT YOU REMINDED US IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 13. PAY

Hebrews 13 · chapter mention

ATTENTION, BE AWARE, ANGELS ARE AROUND. LORD, I THANK YOU FOR

EVERY TIME, WHETHER IT BE IN MY LIFE OR THOSE THAT RAISE THEIR

HANDS, THAT GOD, WE HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES LIKE THIS. AND I

EVEN PRAY THAT IF SOME THAT ARE HERE, LORD, THEY'RE SINCERE IN

THEIR HEART, THEY'RE WANTING TO EXPERIENCE, GOD, THE PRESENCE OF

ANGELS. WE DON'T WORSHIP THEM, BUT FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR

THEM, AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR PRESENCE TO COME AND TO SERVE US

WHO ARE HEIRS OF SALVATION. AND LORD, THEY DO IT WITH DELIGHT,

AND THEY LISTEN. THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF PSALMS,

DILIGENTLY WAITING FOR WORDS, THE WORD OF THE LORD, GOD'S

WORD, YOUR HOLY COMMANDS, YOUR HOLY SCRIPTURE TO COME FROM OUR

LIPS SO THAT, LORD, THEY CAN HONOR YOU AS THE SERVANTS OF THE

MOST HIGH GOD. AND SO, LORD, TODAY WE COMMISSION, WE

ASSIGN THE ANGELS TO GO FORTH, TO EXCEL IN STRENGTH, TO BRING

DIVINE PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION AROUND OUR VEHICLES,

OUR HOMES, OUR PROPERTIES, OUR POSSESSIONS, LORD, OUR FAMILIES,

OUR PETS, OUR BELONGINGS, LORD, OUR COMING IN AND OUR GOING OUT.

LORD, WE DECLARE THAT THERE IS AN ANGELIC PROTECTION AND IT

BRINGS PRESERVATION. IT'S AN ANGEL LOCK AROUND US THAT THE

ENEMY OF DARKNESS OR WICKED AND UNREASONABLE MEN CANNOT AND WILL

NOT BE ALLOWED TO TOUCH US, OUR FAMILIES, OUR HOMES, OUR

PROPERTY, OUR POSSESSIONS, OUR LIVES, OUR VEHICLES. LORD, WE

ARE BLESSED AND WE RELEASE THE HOST NOW. FATHER, SEND THE HOST

NOW TO GATHER FOR THE PEOPLE. LORD, THERE'S HARVESTING ANGELS

AND THEY'VE BEEN SENT TOGETHER TO BRING IN, LORD, THE THINGS

THAT, LORD, WE HAVE CRIED OUT FOR. AND WE CRY CRIED OUT TO

YOU, THE ALMIGHTY GOD. AND MAY THOSE ANGELS NOW EXCEL IN

STRENGTH AND BREAK THROUGH ANY DEMONIC RESISTANCE OR DEMON

SPIRITS OR BARRIERS. GO, HOSTS, AND BRING IN THE BREAKTHROUGHS.

BRING IN THE MANIFESTATION OF ANSWERED PRAYER. AND HOSTS, GO

AND MINISTER TO THOSE THAT NEED HEALING NOW, AS THE SPIRIT OF

GOD IN HIS ANOINTING IS RELEASED AS THE HOSTS GO. LORD, WE THANK

YOU. FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD, WE'RE NEVER GOING TO EVER AGAIN

BE UNAWARE. WE'RE AWARE, FOR THERE'S MORE FOR US. IN FACT,

LORD, THERE'S MORE IN THIS ROOM. THEY'RE HERE, AND WE THANK YOU

THAT YOU ARE CALLED LORD OF HOSTS, LORD OF THE ANGELIC

ARMIES OF HEAVEN THAT YOU CREATED, AND WE HONOR YOU TODAY,

GOD. WE WELCOME THEM. WOW, THANK YOU, GOD. THANK YOU, GOD.

THANK YOU, LORD.

AMEN.

AMEN.

WE WORSHIP YOU.

THANK YOU, LORD.

THANK YOU, LORD. MAN, I'LL TELL YOU, I WAS JUST THINKING, I WANT

TO GIVE YOU THANKS, GOD. I REMEMBER ANOTHER TIME I WENT TO

ARGENTINA FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I WAS WITH PASTOR TOM, WHO'S

IN HEAVEN. HOW MANY REMEMBER PASTOR TOM THAT USED TO SERVE

HERE? AND WE GOT OFF OF THE AIRPLANE, WE WENT OUT, AND THEY

SAID, HEY, I'LL NEVER FORGET IT, WE'RE LIKE LOOKING FOR OUR BAGS,

AND THEY SAID, OH, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER TO THE OTHER

TERMINAL. THE OTHER TERMINAL? YET THEY SAID THIS IS THE

INTERNATIONAL ONE. YOU NEED TO GO TO THE DOMESTIC ONE. WE SAID,

WELL, HOW DO WE GET THERE? AND THEY COULDN'T SPEAK GOOD

ENGLISH. AND I SAID, TOM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

DO. HE GOES, WELL, HMM. HE GOES, LET'S JUST PRAY. SO WE STARTED

PRAYING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A MAN TAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER,

AND HE SAID, YOU'VE BEEN SENT HERE FROM THE LORD MOST HIGH.

AND I'M LOOKING AT HIM. HE'S REALLY TALL, LOOKING DUDE. AND

HE SAID, YOU'VE BEEN SENT FROM THE LORD MOST HIGH. SPOKE

PERFECT ENGLISH, YET HE LOOKED ARGENTINIAN, OR WHATEVER. AND HE

SAID, YOU'VE BEEN SENT HERE FROM THE LORD MOST HIGH. I SAID,

YEAH, I HAVE. HE SAID, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE AIRPORT AND

WHERE YOU NEED TO GO? HE SAID, COME. HE SAID, FOLLOW CLOSE. HE

GOES, I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU WAY THAT IS A DIFFERENT WAY. AND I'M

LOOKING AND I'M SEEING SIGNS— NO ADMITTANCE. I'M THINKING, I

DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RIGHT. NOW, WOULD AN ANGEL BREAK THE

LAW? I DON'T KNOW. DON'T ASK ME. I DON'T THINK SO, BUT I DON'T

KNOW. THAT'S A THEOLOGICAL QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW. THEY'RE

SUBJECT TO A HIGHER LAW. GOD NEEDED ME TO GET TO WHERE I WAS

AT. AND WE MANEUVERED IT AROUND AND WE GOT THERE, AND IT WAS A

LONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE GOES, YOUR BAGS ARE OVER THERE.

AND I'M LIKE, HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD HE KNOW WHERE MY BAGS ARE?

SO I GRABBED THE BAGS AND SAID, WELL, HEY, THANK YOU, SIR. CAN I

GIVE YOU SOMETHING? AND THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND. IT WAS LIKE

RIGHT HERE. AND IMMEDIATELY HE DISAPPEARED. THERE WAS NOWHERE

FOR HIM TO GO. SO YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S START PAYING MORE

ATTENTION. BECAUSE I THINK WHAT IT DOES IS IT BRINGS NOT ONLY

THE HONOR TO GOD, BUT I THINK IT CAUSES MORE THINGS TO HAPPEN FOR

GOOD IN OUR LIVES.

AMEN.

AMEN. AND THE OTHER THING YOU NEED TO BE GRATEFUL FOR IS THE

ANGEL THAT GOD GIVES YOU. I GOT A GREAT WIFE. SHE'S MY LITTLE

ANGEL. SO WHY DON'T YOU GREET SOMEBODY AROUND YOU? AND DON'T

ACT LIKE THE DEVIL. ACT LIKE A CHRISTIAN. GREET THEM AND SAY,

"I'M SO GLAD." AND THEN SAY THIS, "I BET I KNOW. I BET I

KNOW YOU'VE SEEN AN ANGEL." BEFORE. ALL RIGHT, GREET THEM.

WE GREET YOU, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AS WELL, IN THE

NAME OF JESUS.

AMEN AND AMEN. PRAISE THE LORD. WELL, ARE YOU GLAD TO BE IN

GOD'S HOUSE TODAY? HALLELUJAH. ALL RIGHT, WELL, JUST A COUPLE

QUICK THINGS. WE'RE GONNA GET INTO THIS MORNING'S OFFERING AND

GET PASTOR HANK UP HERE TO PREACH. AND I KNOW HE'S GOT A

GREAT WORD, SO I'M EXCITED TO HEAR. WASN'T THAT POWERFUL ABOUT

ANGELS? OH MY GOODNESS. HOW MANY OF YOU, I KNOW YOU'VE HAD

EXPERIENCES WITH ANGELS AND ANGELIC ACTIVITY IN YOUR LIFE.

AND YOU KNOW, WHETHER YOU SEE IT OR NOT, IT'S OUT THERE. AND IT'S

OPERATING FOR US. AND I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL. WE HAVE TO

REMEMBER THAT. SO, BY THE WAY, SUCH A GREAT OPENING THE

HEAVENS THIS PAST WEEK. AND OH MY GOODNESS, I WAS PERSONALLY SO

MINISTERED TO BY SO MANY THINGS THAT THE DIFFERENT SPEAKERS

SHARED. AND WHAT AN UPLIFTING TIME. AND YOU JUST NEVER WANT TO

MISS A MOMENT. IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE. BUT I DO HAVE THE

DATES FOR NEXT YEAR IF YOU'RE READY TO KNOW THAT. OKAY, ARE

YOU READY? SEPTEMBER 16TH THROUGH THE 18TH ARE THE DATES

OF OPENING THE HEAVENS 2027. SO, FOR YOU THAT ARE WATCHING

ONLINE, YOU WANT TO MARK THAT DOWN AND BE BACK HERE AT THE

TABERNACLE. HOW MANY OF YOU ENJOYED IT BEING HERE IN THE

CHURCH THIS YEAR? JUST LIFE-CHANGING. IT WAS SO

POWERFUL. AND BY THE WAY, I'LL JUST LET EVERYBODY KNOW, I DON'T

HAVE THE EXACT PINPOINT MARGIN YET, BUT WE DID MAKE THE BUDGET

WITH A SMALL—

ALL RIGHT.

AND WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A SURPLUS. SO WE'RE IN— THIS IS

AMAZING. SO I DO WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT, AND ALL OF YOU

THAT SACRIFICIALLY HELPED WITH THAT, BECAUSE THESE EVENTS

AREN'T CHEAP TO PUT OFF. SO, BUT I JUST KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WERE

CHANGED, AND THEIR LIVES WERE CHANGED, AND PEOPLE WERE SAVED

AND BORN AGAIN AND SPIRIT-FILLED DURING THIS WHOLE THING. SO IT

WAS JUST A WONDERFUL TIME. SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY

EVERYBODY THAT WORKED SO HARD. EVERYBODY GOT RESTED UP, I

THINK, HOPEFULLY. MAYBE YOU CAUGHT UP ON ALL YOUR SLEEP, SO

IT'S GOOD. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S SO WORTH IT WHEN THE ANOINTING IS

MOVING IN A PLACE. SO IT'S JUST AWESOME. ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'LL

SAVE ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS. IF YOU WANT TO GET TO THE

ANNOUNCEMENTS, WE GOT NEW YEAR'S EVE COMING, LOTS OF THINGS

HAPPENING, BUT YOU CAN GET OUT THERE, CHECK IT OUT ON THE

CHURCH'S WEBSITE. AND OF COURSE, WE'RE ALWAYS POSTING TO SOCIAL

AS WELL. ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPT SCRIPTURE UP

FOR TODAY. LET'S ROCK AND ROLL IT. NOW, THIS IS A VERY FAMILIAR

SCRIPTURE TO SOME OF YOU. YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO AT

OFFERING TIME SHARE A LITTLE GOLDEN NUGGET ABOUT GIVING.

JESUS HAD SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT FINANCES. THE BIBLE TALKS A LOT

ABOUT MONEY, HOW TO MANAGE IT, RIGHT? IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO

BUDGET OR MANAGE YOUR MONEY, THE BIBLE WILL GIVE YOU CLUES ABOUT

THOSE THINGS. IT JUST TALKS ABOUT HOW TO COUNT THE COST,

THINK ABOUT YOUR SPENDING, AND IT TALKS A LOT ABOUT GIVING INTO

THE KINGDOM OF GOD. BUT HERE'S WHAT JESUS TAUGHT, AND WE KNOW

THIS. I LIKE TO— I DON'T KNOW, I'VE BEEN ON THIS LITTLE ROLL

LATELY OF PULLING OUT LITTLE PIECES OF THESE SCRIPTURES THAT

ARE FAMILIAR TO SO MANY OF US. GIVE. THAT'S THE FIRST PART. IF

YOU WANT TO GET IN GOD'S SYSTEM OF BLESSING, YOU'VE GOT TO BE A

GIVER, RIGHT? YOU JUST GOT TO DECIDE WITHIN YOURSELF, YOU

KNOW, I'M GOING TO GIVE INTO THE PURPOSES OF THE GOSPEL. I'M

GOING TO GIVE TO THE CHURCH. I'M GOING TO GIVE TO THE THINGS OF

THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT ARE PERTINENT. AND BY THE WAY,

THAT'S ALSO SEPARATE FROM JUST CHARITABLE GIVING. THEY CAN BE

INTERTWINED, BUT THERE'S GIVING TO THE PURPOSES OF THE SPREADING

OF THE GOSPEL. AND ISN'T THAT A GOOD THING? YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE

CHURCH, OR THE BODY OF CHRIST, OR THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE

CHURCH HOUSE, OR THE INSTITUTION CALLED THE CHURCH. LORD OF HOSTS

CHURCH IS OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A WORLD RIGHT NOW WHERE

THERE IS SO MUCH NEGATIVITY. THERE'S SO MUCH— I MEAN, THE

INTERNET IS JUST FILLED WITH ALL KINDS OF GARBAGE THAT, YOU KNOW,

I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'D PROBABLY BE FAIR TO SAY THAT

MORE THAN HALF OF IT'S NOT EVEN TRUE. IT'S JUST SKEWED OPINIONS

THAT PEOPLE MAKE UP TO JUST DESTROY SOMEBODY ELSE. AND SO,

THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH THESE THINGS. AND WE SEE IT EVERY DAY.

WE LOOK ON THE NEWS, WE SEE EVERY WAR. I MEAN, IN REAL TIME,

YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING OF THAT— I THINK OF IT OFTEN. I

THINK OF THAT SCRIPTURE IN LUKE 21 AND VERSE 26. IT SAYS, IN THE

LAST DAYS, MEN'S HEARTS WILL FAIL THEM FOR FEAR, BECAUSE WHY?

THEY SEE ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING ON THE EARTH. NOW, YOU

KNOW, IN JESUS' DAY, WHEN HE SAID HE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW,

NOW, YOU KNOW, THE LORD KNEW WHAT WAS COMING, BUT YOU THINK

ABOUT THAT WAS ALMOST PREDICTIVE OF THE DAY THAT WE'RE LIVING IN,

THE DAY OF SO MUCH THAT WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING IN REAL TIME. AND

THERE'S A LOT OF NEGATIVE, MORE NEGATIVE, I THINK, THAN POSITIVE

OUT THERE. YET THE CHURCH IS THAT LIGHT IN A DARK PLACE.

WE'RE HERE TO SPREAD— WATCH THIS— THE GOOD NEWS. COME ON,

SOMEBODY. THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. JESUS

CAME INTO GALILEE, MATTHEW 4, AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THOSE

THAT SAT IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT. WELL, WHO'S GOING TO BE

THE GREAT LIGHT TODAY? THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND

SO WE GIVE INTO THAT TO SHARE THE LIGHT IN A DARK PLACE. GO

BACK TO LUKE. IT SAYS, "SO GIVE," BUT THEN HERE'S THE

BENEFIT OF IT, "AND IT'LL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU." RIGHT? THIS

IS A PROMISE OF SCRIPTURE THAT WE HAVE TO BELIEVE AND HOLD DEAR

AND CLAIM IN OUR LIFE. "GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU."

THAT SAYS TO ME, IF I'M A GIVER, THAT GOD'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF

ME. AND HERE'S HOW GOD WILL DO IT. GOOD MEASURE. I DON'T KNOW

WHAT THAT MEANS. IT JUST MEANS A LOT. PRESS DOWN. I REMEMBER WHEN

PASTOR HANK— I'LL SHARE THIS REALLY QUICKLY— PASTOR HANK,

WHEN, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, HE STARTED HIS

MINISTRY IN THE PROJECTS, PICKING UP GANG KIDS AND TAKING

THEM TO CHURCH RIGHT HERE IN OMAHA. AND SOME OF THOSE

PROJECTS AREN'T THERE ANYMORE, THEY'VE TAKEN THEM DOWN. BUT SO

HE ASKED ME, HE SAID, NOW HOW CAN I HOW CAN I TEACH THESE GANG

KIDS? HE ASKED ME ONE DAY. WE WERE STILL DATING AT THAT TIME.

AND YOU KNOW, THIS GIRL WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HOOD WAS.

I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU HEARD LORENZO SEWELL LAST WEEK SAID,

"MY CHURCH IS NOT ONLY IN THE HOOD, IT'S IN THE HOOD."

YOU KNOW, I GREW UP IN A MILITARY FAMILY. WE TRAVELED

AROUND THE WORLD. AND SO, HE SAID, "TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU

THINK? HOW CAN I DESCRIBE TO THESE GANG KIDS?" WHAT "PRESS

DOWN" MEANS. I SAID, "WELL, I JUST THINK OF IT LIKE BROWN

SUGAR. YOU PUT BROWN SUGAR IN A MEASURING CUP AND YOU—" COME ON,

YOU LADIES ARE NODDING. YOU PRESS IT DOWN. YOU PACK IT DOWN

SO YOU COULD GET MORE SUGAR IN THE CUP, RIGHT? HE SAID, "THAT'S

NOT GONNA WORK WITH THE GANG KIDS. THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET

THAT." BUT THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT IS BROWN

SUGAR PRESSED PRESS DOWN. SO IT MEANS GOD JUST PACKS IN AS MUCH

AS YOU CAN RECEIVE. ISN'T THAT GOOD? BECAUSE GOD'S GOOD. HE

LOVES TO BLESS. AND IT'S SHAKEN TOGETHER, RUNNING OVER. NOW

WATCH THIS PART. SHALL MEN— COME ON, THAT'S PEOPLE— WILL GIVE

BACK TO YOU. COME ON, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD JUST A SURPRISE

CHECK IN THE MAIL, OR YOU GOT A REFUND THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE

COMING. COME ON, YOU EVER HAD ONE YOU'RE LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW,

THAT WAS A SHOCK. YOU KNOW, BUT GOD MAY BE THE ONE THAT OPENED

THE EYES OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE SO THAT THEY GO, WELL, THEY— WE

OWE THEM MONEY. YOU DON'T KNOW. COME ON, THAT'S THE THING. GOD'S

WORKING FOR YOU. HE LOVES YOU. GOD'S NOT UP THERE IN HEAVEN

TRYING TO KEEP YOU SO THAT YOU'RE DOWN AND BROKE AND

DEFEATED. THAT'S NOT WHAT GOD'S ABOUT. THERE'S NOTHING IN THE

SCRIPTURE THAT SUPPORTS THE BIBLE SUPPORTS THAT, BY THE WAY.

IT SAYS, "SHALL MEN GIVE BACK INTO YOUR BOSOM." THAT MEANS TO

YOU. "FOR WITH THE SAME MEASURE THAT YOU GIVE," OR THAT WORD

"MEET" IS THE KING JAMES WORD FOR IF THE SAME MEASURE OR THE

SAME SCOOP THAT YOU MIGHT DISH IT OUT IS THE WAY IT COMES BACK

TO YOU. YOU CAN'T OUTGIVE GOD. AND WHEN YOU GIVE TO GOD'S

PURPOSES, TO THE GOSPEL GOING FORTH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THERE

ARE TODAY THOUSANDS THAT WILL JOIN US ONLINE LIVE AND BY

ARCHIVE THAT WILL WATCH THIS SERVICE LATER. AND WE HAVE HAD

TESTIMONY UPON TESTIMONY OF PEOPLE SAY, "YOU KNOW, I WATCHED

THE SERVICE. I DON'T KNOW HOW I STUMBLED ON IT, BUT I WATCHED

AND I GAVE MY HEART TO JESUS CHRIST." OR, "I GOT HEALED," OR,

"GOD DELIVERED ME FROM DEPRESSION. GOD CHANGED ME. GOD

TOUCHED ME. HE PULLED ME OUT OF A DARK PLACE." AND YOU KNOW

IT WAS SO GREAT TO SEE SO MANY OF YOU AT THE CONFERENCE THIS

LAST WEEK, E-MEMBERS THAT HELPED TO BUILD— LIKE PASTOR BRENDA

MENTIONED, YOU HELPED BUILD THIS HOUSE FOR THE LORD AND FOR US,

THE PEOPLE. SO WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR

GIVING. THANK YOU AGAIN ALSO, MAN, WE MADE THE BUDGET AND A

LITTLE BIT OVER, SO I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I DID

NOT WANT TO CARRY ANY KIND OF— INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO THANK

YOU. THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT. AND ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY KNOW IT

IS BRING YOUR BIBLE TO CHURCH SUNDAY AS WELL? HOW MANY OF YOU

GOT YOUR BIBLES? LET ME SEE IT. YOU'RE DOING GOOD. DOESN'T IT

FEEL GOOD TO CARRY YOUR BIBLE TO CHURCH? OKAY, NOW I SHOULD

PROBABLY ASK THE USHER TEAM, HOW MANY— IS THERE MORE BIBLES IN ON

THE LOST AND FOUND SINCE WE'VE BEEN BRINGING OUR BIBLES. THERE

WAS ONE GUY THAT WE KEPT ON TELLING HIM, "HEY, YOU LEFT YOUR

BIBLE HERE." "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, I'LL GET IT, I'LL GET IT."

AND THEN WE FINALLY GAVE IT TO HIM AFTER LIKE 6 MONTHS. HE

GOES, "OH, I'M SO GLAD." HE GOES, "THIS IS LIKE MY ONLY

BIBLE." I'M LIKE, "YOU JUST TOLD ON YOURSELF LIKE YOU DIDN'T READ

YOUR BIBLE FOR—" AND THIS IS BACK BEFORE THE APPS. SO I'M

LIKE, THAT IS REALLY BAD WHEN YOU HAD NO ALTERNATIVES SOURCE

LIKE A PHONE. SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT AS WELL, AND THAT YOU

BROUGHT YOUR BIBLES. YOU'RE BRINGING YOUR BIBLES. LET'S KEEP

DOING IT THIS MONTH, AND THEN LET'S JUST KEEP BUILDING A

HABIT. YOU KNOW, THEY SAY IF YOU DO SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH. AND

THEN ALSO, THOSE OF YOU TODAY ACROSS THE NATION, IT'S BACK TO

CHURCH SUNDAY, AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL ACROSS AMERICA THERE'S

GOING TO BE A NEW MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE WHO REALLY JUST COME TO

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, OR MAYBE YOU'RE JUST JOINING US AS A

PERSON VISITING, AND YOU'RE GOING, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN'T

FIND A GOOD CHURCH IN MY CITY." I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND THAT'S

WHY I'M REALLY, REALLY GLAD THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO HAVE THROUGH

TECHNOLOGY WHERE MANY PEOPLE IDENTIFY AND SAY, "YOU KNOW,

PASTOR HANK, YOU'RE MY PASTOR. THIS IS MY CHURCH." AND IF YOU

READ THE BOOK OF ISAIAH CHAPTER 2, IT SAYS IN THE LAST DAYS THAT

Isaiah 2 · chapter mention

MANY SHALL, IN FACT, ALL ETHNOS, ALL DIFFERENT CULTURES, OF SKIN

ARE GOING TO GO TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. AND IT SAYS THAT

THEY'LL STREAM UNTO IT EVEN. SO THERE YOU ARE. YOU'RE STREAMING

WITH US, AND WE WELCOME YOU AS WELL. NOW THOSE OF YOU THAT

MAYBE YOU'RE LIKE, "WHOA, THIS IS KIND OF STRANGE. THIS IS KIND

OF DIFFERENT." YOU KNOW WHAT? HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT GELATO IS

AS GREAT AS IT IS UNTIL YOU CAME AND YOU TRIED IT? GIVE IT A TRY

AND THEN GO BACK FOR A SECOND HELPING AND A THIRD AND A

FOURTH. AS YOU CAN TELL, I LIKE LIKE GELATO. BUT WE WELCOME YOU

HERE TODAY. YOU KNOW, I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO PREACH A

MESSAGE ABOUT THE CHURCH, AND I KIND OF GOT THROUGH IT, AND I

THOUGHT, "WELL, I'LL JUST—" IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. BUT AS I WAS

PREPARING THAT MESSAGE, I JUST FELT TO STAY ON WHAT I'VE BEEN

TALKING ABOUT. I DID LOOK UP MANY, MANY DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF

THE POWER OF THE CHURCH, OF WHY GOING TO A CHURCH, BEING PART OF

A CHURCH IS IMPORTANT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I CONCLUDED,

BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL SAY THINGS LIKE, "WELL, THE

CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING. I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A PHYSICAL

PLACE." AND WHAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THEY'LL

OFTEN SAY, "WE ARE THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS A PEOPLE." WELL,

IT'S BOTH. IT REALLY IS US. WE ARE THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING

GOD, BUT ALSO MANY, MANY TIMES IN SCRIPTURE, IT WAS

AN ASSEMBLING PLACE, A PLACE THAT WAS PURPOSEFUL. THAT'S WHY

GOD INSTRUCTED MOSES TO BUILD A TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS,

WHICH WAS ACTS 7:38 SAID IT WAS THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS.

Acts 7:38

GOD LITERALLY HAD THE PEOPLE, THE CHURCH, COME TOGETHER UNDER

PASTOR MOSES AND LITERALLY GO TO A PHYSICAL TABERNACLE. THEN IF

THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, SOLOMON BUILT A TEMPLE, A PLACE WHERE

THE PEOPLE COULD COME TOGETHER TO BE WITH GOD AND GOD COULD BE

WITH THEM. AND THEN THE SCRIPTURE KEPT TELLING OVER AND

OVER AND OVER ABOUT DON'T FORGET ASSEMBLING TOGETHER. DON'T

FORGET THE GATHERING TOGETHER. AND IF YOU ALL REMEMBER— HOW

MANY REMEMBER THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? THIS ISN'T MY

MESSAGE, BUT I JUST WANT TO REMIND US OF THIS. THE TEN

COMMANDMENTS. HOW MANY EVER WATCHED THAT AROUND? USED TO BE

THEY PLAYED JESUS JESUS OF NAZARETH. NOW THEY DON'T PLAY

THAT AS MUCH. THEY PLAY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. BUT YOU REMEMBER

IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, IT'S OUT OF THE BIBLE. YOU COULD SEE

IT AS PART OF THE LITERAL MOVIE AND STUFF WHERE THEY LITERALLY

CAME AND GOD GAVE THEM INSTRUCTIONS TO MEET HIM AT A

MOUNTAIN. SO IT WAS MOUNT SINAI. AND GOD TOLD THEM, SAID, "I WANT

YOU TO MEET WITH ME, AND I WANT TO MEET WITH YOU." AND GOD WOULD

REGULARLY COME DOWN AND THEY WOULD HAVE CHURCH. AND IT WAS

ALL ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF GOD. IT WAS ABOUT GOD WITH MAN AND

MAN WITH GOD, BUT IT WAS ALSO ABOUT GOD WITH THE PEOPLE. AND

THEY CAME TO A PHYSICAL PLACE, RIGHT? THEY CAME TO A MOUNTAIN.

THEY GATHERED THERE TO GO TO CHURCH. AND GOD EVEN TOLD THEM,

SAID, "HEY, DRESS UP. LOOK NICE, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA COME DOWN. I'M

GONNA BE WITH YOU, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH EACH OTHER, AND

YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH ME." HOW MANY REMEMBER THAT? CLEAN UP,

DRESS UP, AND GET TO CHURCH. MEET ME AT THE MOUNTAIN. AND SO

I APPRECIATE YOU FOR HONORING THAT TODAY AND THOSE OF YOU THAT

ARE WATCHING, TAKING TIME TO MAKE GOD'S CHURCH, YOU THE

CHURCH, AS AN IMPORTANT THING. AND ESPECIALLY IN A SOCIETY AND

A CULTURE THAT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY AND CHALLENGE OUR RELIGIOUS

LIBERTIES, IF THERE'S ANY MESSAGE THAT WE CAN SAY TO A

CULTURE AND TO A PEOPLE THAT SOMEHOW WANT TO PUSH GOD OUT OF

THE REMEMBRANCE OF OUR COUNTRY. THIS COUNTRY IS A CHRISTIAN

NATION. IT WAS FOUNDED UPON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES. AND WE'VE

GOT A GENERATION OF PEOPLE WHO WANT US TO FORGET GOD AND WANT

US TO IGNORE GOING TO CHURCH. AND IF THEY HAD EVERY WAY THAT

THEY COULD, THEY WOULD LOVE TO TAKE AWAY CHURCHES. AND THEY

DON'T MIND IF YOU BUILD A MOSQUE. SO THANK YOU FOR COMING

TO CHURCH. AND MY PRAYER IS THAT YOU DON'T JUST GO BACK TO

CHURCH, YOU STAY IN CHURCH. AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE HEART

OF THE FATHER. SO I APPRECIATE YOU 20 AMENS AND HAND CLAPS ON

THAT ONE. SO, ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S OPEN OUR BIBLES TO LUKE

Luke 18 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 18, AND I WANT US TO LOOK AT A STORY THAT JESUS

TALKED ABOUT THAT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATCHING OUR ATTITUDES. AND BY THE WAY, MY

MOM GAVE ME THIS. MOM, THANK YOU. SHE TAPPED ME ON MY

SHOULDER. AND NO, THAT WASN'T THE— I MEAN, MY MOM'S AN ANGEL,

BUT IT WAS ANOTHER ANGEL THAT TOUCHED ME. BUT THIS, SHE GAVE

ME ONE OF THE LITTLE FLAGS, AND SHE SAID YOU COULD WIPE YOUR

GLASSES WITH THAT. SO THANK YOU, MOM. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD

SEE THAT AROUND THE WORLD. AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I

WIPE MY GLASSES, MY EYES WILL SEE THE COMING OF THE GLORY OF

THE LORD. SO THANK YOU FOR THESE. I LIKE THAT, MOM. I KNOW

YOU'RE HANDING ME A HAND. HANDKERCHIEF. BUT THIS IS NICE.

I APPRECIATE THAT, SO I WANTED TO GIVE HER A SHOUT-OUT. ALL

RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE LUKE 18? LET'S LOOK AT VERSE 1, AND I

WANT YOU TO SEE AS WE FOLLOW ALONG WHAT IS IMPORTANT. AND

JESUS SPOKE A PARABLE UNTO THEM TO THIS END, THAT MEN OUGHT

ALWAYS TO PRAY AND NOT FAINT. NOW STOP RIGHT THERE. NOW I

DON'T THINK HE'S JUST SAYING MEN LIKE LOCK IN THE MALE GENDER.

NO, THERE'S NO GENDER CONFUSION WITH THAT, RIGHT? HE'S TALKING

ABOUT MANKIND, PEOPLE. NOW NOTICE WHAT HE TELLS US TO DO IN

TIMES WHERE YOU WANT TO FAINT. YOU WANT TO GIVE UP. YOU FEEL

HOPELESS. YOU FEEL LIKE LIFE IS SO MUCH FULL OF CHALLENGES. I

SHARED AT OUR CONFERENCE LAST WEEK, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE

VISITING OR TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY ABOUT HOW IN THE

BOOK OF SAMUEL DAVID, WHO WAS KING AT THAT TIME, AND HIS

KINGDOM AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE KINGDOM KEPT GETTING FROM

THE PHILISTINES. THEY WERE THE BAD GUYS, AND THE PHILISTINES

KEPT ATTACKING THEM. THEY KEPT HAVING CONTINUOUS WARS, WAR

AFTER WAR AFTER WAR, BATTLE AFTER BATTLE AFTER BATTLE. AND

MAYBE THAT'S WHERE SOME OF YOU IN THIS ROOM ARE. MAYBE SOME OF

YOU THAT ARE VISITING TODAY, YOU FEEL LIKE THAT WHERE IT'S BEEN

LIKE BATTLE AFTER BATTLE. MAYBE YOU IN YOUR LIVING ROOM,

YOU'RE WATCHING, YOU'RE LIKE, "YEAH, IT'S BEEN CHALLENGE AFTER

CHALLENGE AFTER CHALLENGE." JESUS GIVES US THE WAY TO

NAVIGATE THROUGH CHALLENGING TIMES. HE JUST TELLS US IN ONE

LITTLE STATEMENT, IN ONE VERSE RIGHT THERE, HOW TO GET THROUGH

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO GIVE UP, YOU FEEL HOPELESS, YOU

DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. OR HOW

ABOUT THIS? YOU FEEL LIKE THROWING YOUR HANDS UP. MAYBE

SOME OF YOU, YOU QUIT GOING TO CHURCH BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE,

"WELL, GOD, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE SO BUSY WITH EVERYTHING ELSE BUT

ME." NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAID. MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO DO WHAT? TO

PRAY. NEVER STOP TALKING TO GOD. NEVER STOP LIFTING UP YOUR VOICE

TO THE LORD MOST HIGH. HE CARES FOR US. "WELL, I DON'T THINK HE

DOES." WELL, HE CARED ENOUGH TO SEND JESUS JESUS CHRIST. NOT

ONLY DOES THE BIBLE SAY IT, BUT HISTORY WILL CONFIRM IT. SCIENCE

CONFIRMS IT, THAT THERE WAS THIS MAN NAMED JESUS OF NAZARETH WHO

CAME AND DIED AND BLED ON A CROSS AND THE THIRD DAY ROSE

AGAIN. EVEN THOUGH THEY TRIED TO DENY IT, THE GOVERNMENT TRIED TO

COVER IT UP, THEY COULD NOT BECAUSE OVER 500 SAW HIM ALIVE

AFTER THE RESURRECTION. AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, I'M ONE OF

THOSE THAT CONTINUE TO KNOW AND HAVE SEEN THAT OUR SAVIOR AND

OUR KING, OUR GOD JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE. AMEN. SO HE SAID, "MEN

OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY." YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO? AND I DON'T KNOW

ABOUT YOU, I'VE HAD TIMES WHERE I DON'T FEEL LIKE PRAYING. I

DON'T WANT TO READ MY BIBLE, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH. I

DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING SPIRITUAL. THERE'S TIMES IN MY

LIFE WHERE I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH I WANT TO DO IS GO

BIBLICAL. NOW, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BEING A SINNER, BUT

SOMETIMES I DON'T WANT TO READ MY BIBLE. I DON'T WANT TO PRAY.

OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE A PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL. YES, I KNOW. I'M A

HUMAN BEING TOO. AND I'M JUST LIKE YOU WHERE THERE'S TIMES

WHERE I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT. I WANT MY WIFE TO RUB MY FEET,

FAN ME, GIVE ME CHOCOLATE M&MS, AND CALL ME KING. HANK. BUT I'VE

HAD TIMES IN MY LIFE WHERE, LET'S FACE IT, IT'S BEEN TOUGH,

AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THE SPIRITUAL THINGS. I WAS TELLING

BRENDA THE OTHER DAY, MAN, WHERE I HAVE TO REALLY DISCIPLINE

MYSELF IS I STUDY THE WORD A LOT, AND I HAVE TO DISCIPLINE

MYSELF NOT TO STUDY THE BIBLE FOR A SERMON. AND THE OTHER DAY

I WAS OPENING MY BIBLE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED GETTING A

GREAT SERMON OUT OF PSALM 84. 1989, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE

TO ME, SAID, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M PREPARING A SERMON. HE SAID,

I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU THE WORD. I WANT TO TEACH YOU SOME

THINGS, HANK, FOR YOU. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU. AND I THOUGHT,

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL GET OUT OF THAT ONE. AND I WENT TO A NICE

LITTLE OTHER LITTLE PASSAGE AND LET IT MINISTER TO ME. BUT HAVE

YOU EVER BEEN IN THAT PLACE WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THE

SPIRITUAL THING? AND I THINK WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER TIME,

THERE'S BEEN SUCH A WAR IN OUR CULTURE. AND IT'S COME THROUGH

MEAN-SPIRITED POLITICIANS AND POLITICS. IT'S COME THROUGH THE

BATTLES THAT WE FACE ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS THAT WE STOP

WANTING TO BE SPIRITUAL. AND YOU KNOW WHY I KNOW? BECAUSE LISTEN,

THERE WAS A GENERATION BEFORE US THAT STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH,

AND THEY PASSED THAT DOWN ONTO THEIR KIDS. Y'ALL LOOK AT ME

LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, BUT THERE WAS A

GENERATION BEFORE THAT GENERATION THAT, BOY, THEY'D

WHIP YOUR BUTT IF YOU WEREN'T IN CHURCH. ONE THING YOU KNEW, YOU

COULD LIVE LIKE THE DEVIL MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, BUT YOU BETTER

GET YOUR BACKSIDE TO CHURCH. I'LL SPANK YOU ALL THE WAY

THERE. HOW MANY COME FROM THAT GENERATION? ALL RIGHT, YOU JUST

TOLD I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE. NOW HERE'S THE THING, BUT I

MEAN, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW OF THAT GENERATION? TODAY WE GOT

PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE SPIRITUAL. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO

THE GOD THING. AND JESUS SAID, LOOK, IF YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE

IMPORTANCE OF THE GOD FACTOR IN YOUR LIFE, PRAYING, READING YOUR

BIBLE, INCLUDING GOD ON A PERSONAL BASIS EVERY DAY.

HE SAID, "YOU WON'T FAINT. YOU WON'T QUIT. YOU WON'T GIVE UP.

YOU WON'T CAVE. AND YOU WON'T BE DECEIVED WHEN ALL KINDS OF

INFORMATION IS BEING THROWN AT YOU." BY THE WAY, THERE'S THIS

BIG ARGUMENT NOW, YOU KNOW, THAT DON'T MESS WITH MY FIRST

AMENDMENT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT IS GETTING TIRED OF

THE FAKE LYING NEWS THAT KEEPS LYING. I MEAN, I WATCH. I MEAN,

IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT, LEFT, OR IN BETWEEN.

I'M LIKE, HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND YOU ARE

TREATING HIM WRONG. YOU ARE INTERRUPTING HIM. YOU ARE ASKING

LOADED QUESTIONS. YOU'RE NOT EVEN REPORTING THE NEWS. YOU'RE

NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THINGS. YOU'RE CREATING THE NEWS. LET ME

SAY THIS, THE FIRST AMENDMENT, IT WASN'T ABOUT SO THAT YOU

COULD ARGUE, CREATE STRIFE, BICKER, AND FIGHT FOR YOUR

WHATEVER. AND LIE ABOUT IT WHILE YOU FIGHT FOR IT. NO, THE FIRST

AMENDMENT WAS FIRST OF ALL TO PROTECT ALSO RELIGIOUS

LIBERTIES. THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF SPEECH TO TALK ABOUT

JESUS CHRIST. TO SHARE JESUS CHRIST. TO LET OTHERS KNOW ABOUT

JESUS CHRIST. TO HAVE THE EXPRESSION OF WHAT WE CALL THE

CHURCH. BUT IT REALLY WAS SO THAT YOU COULD SPEAK ABOUT YOUR

LIBERTY. LIBERTY. YOU COULD TELL THE TRUTH, STAND FOR THE TRUTH,

REPRESENT THE TRUTH, NOT HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH SO THAT YOU

CAN PREY ON A GENERATION THROUGH IMMORAL ACTIVITIES, THROUGH LIES

AND DECEPTION AND CORRUPTION. THAT ISN'T WHAT THE FIRST

AMENDMENT IS ABOUT. AND Y'ALL OUGHT TO ALL BE BANNED. I WILL.

WELL, PASTOR HANK, NOBODY'S GOING TO COME BACK TO YOUR

CHURCH. I'D RATHER YOU KNOW HOW I AM NOW.

BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I AM.

AND THE REASON WHY WE GOT A JACKED-UP PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WE

GOT JACKED-UP PASTORS AND JACKED-UP CHURCHES THAT DON'T

TELL YOU NOTHING. THEY LIE TO YOU TOO. OKAY, THEY ACT LIKE,

"WELL, MY SERMON TODAY IS ABOUT IT'S BEEN RAINY AND I HAVEN'T

BEEN ABLE TO WASH MY CAR. AND SOMETIMES LIFE IS FULL OF

DISRUPTIONS." INTERRUPTIONS. BOY, YOU'RE DEEP. WHILE Y'ALL

GETTING ATTACKED AT THE SCHOOL, YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING

CONVINCED THAT THEY'RE A LITTLE BOY, THAT THEY ARE A GIRL, AND

THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY NOTHING. THEN YOU TURN ON YOUR

TELEVISION SET AND YOU'RE GETTING KNOCKED UP AND BEAT UP

OVER YOUR HEAD BECAUSE THEY'RE LYING TO YOU, MAKING YOU SCARED.

MAKING YOU BELIEVE A LIE. HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE REALLY DOING.

ROMANS CHAPTER 1. THEY'RE TAKING THE TRUTH AND THEY'RE TURNING IT

Romans 1 · chapter mention

INTO A LIE. AND YOU ARE GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO SWALLOW IT. I CAN HEAR

SOMEONE GETTING BACK TO CHURCH. THEY AIN'T EVER COMING BACK

HERE. IT'S AMAZING THAT GUY'S EVEN GOT A CHURCH. YOU DIDN'T

CALL ME. JESUS DID, AND I HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH ON HIS BEHALF.

BUT HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE WHEN YOU WANT TO GIVE UP? HE SPOKE A

PARABLE UNTO THEM, SAID, MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY AND NOT

FAINT. NOW HE GIVES US AN EXAMPLE. LET'S KEEP READING.

LOOK AT VERSE 2, SAYING, THERE WAS IN A CITY A JUDGE. HOW MANY

KNOW WE GOT JUDGES IN OUR CITIES? WE GOT JUDGES IN THE

SUPREME COURT, AND MOST OF THEM ARE STUPID. I'M LIKE, YOU'RE ALL

SUPPOSED TO BE SMART. MY COMMON SENSE TELLS ME THAT SHOULD

HAVE BEEN A COMMON-SENSE RULING. BUT SEE, NOW WHEN YOU'RE A JUDGE

AND YOU MAKE UP THE RULES AND YOU LEGISLATE FROM THE BENCH,

YOU THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND AND YOU THROW COMMON SENSE OUT

THE WINDOW. BUT HERE'S WHAT YOU ALSO DO. YOU BYPASS THE UNITED

STATES CONSTITUTION TO SUPPORT YOUR OWN AGENDA. SO THERE WAS IN

A DAY A JUDGE WHO DIDN'T EVEN FEAR GOD. BOY, WE GOT A FEW OF

THOSE, DON'T WE? AND DIDN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT MAN. YEAH, WE HAD A

JUDGE RULE IT'S A MISTRIAL, AND 3 LITTLE KIDS HAD TO HANG

BECAUSE A STUPID JUDGE DIDN'T REGARD THE LITTLE, 3 LITTLE KIDS

THAT DIED BECAUSE OF POSTPARTUM HORMONAL WOMAN. AND THEN, WELL,

HOW MANY JURORS WERE THERE THAT THOUGHT SHE WAS INNOCENT? 11

GOOFBALLS. AND 1 MAN, THANK YOU FOR THAT 1 MAN. SOMETIMES ALL IT

TAKES IS 1 MAN TO STAND UP AND SAY, "EXCUSE ME, BUT THERE'S

3 LITTLE KIDS THAT ARE DEAD!" ONE MAN. ONE MAN. JUST LIKE THIS

ONLY ONE WOMAN. SO THE JUDGE DIDN'T FEAR GOD. DIDN'T REGARD

MAN. LOOK AT VERSE 3. AND THERE WAS A WIDOW. ONE MAN. ONE WOMAN

IN THAT CITY, AND SHE CAME UNTO HIM SAYING, HEY, AVENGE ME OF MY

ADVERSARIES. IN OTHER WORDS, COME ON, MAN, I AM GETTING

MESSED WITH. I AM GETTING CHALLENGED. I AM TIRED OF THE

WARFARE. I'M TIRED OF THE MISTREATMENT. I WANT JUSTICE.

COME ON, I THINK IF THERE'S EVER SOMETHING THAT IS A CRY IN OUR

COUNTRY IS, CAN WE JUST HAVE SOME LAW AND ORDER? CAN WE JUST

HAVE SOME CAN WE HAVE SOME FOLK WITH SOME COMMON SENSE? CAN WE

HAVE SOME PEOPLE WITH SOME MORAL VALUES? HOW ABOUT CAN WE HAVE

SOME FOLK WITH SOME BIBLICAL VALUES? CAN WE JUST HAVE SOME

JUSTICE? AND WITH OUR JUSTICE, CAN WE JUST HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF

RIGHTEOUSNESS? LOOK AT VERSE 4. AND HE WOULD NOT FOR A WHILE. SO

IN OTHER WORDS, HE WAS AN IDIOT, JUST LIKE THE SUPREME COURT HAVE

BEEN AN IDIOT FOR DECADES. YEAH, YEAH, THAT AIN'T A BABY IN THE

WOMB, SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND KILL IT. AND THEN WE'RE SO—

WE'RE SUCH A DIPSTICK JUDGE. EVEN IF THAT BABY'S CRYING

OUTSIDE THE WOMB, THAT AIN'T NO BABY. IT'S A FETUS WITH

EXPRESSION. IT'S A BLOB MAKING NOISE BECAUSE IT'S OUTSIDE OF

ITS ELEMENT OF WHATEVER IT IS INSIDE OF THAT PLACE YOU CALL A

WOMB. SO GO AHEAD AND KILL IT. AND IT GOES ON FOR A WHILE, THE

INJUSTICE. IT GOES ON FOR A WHILE WHERE I'M LIKE, ARE YOU

KIDDING ME? I MEAN, HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT

YOU, JUDGE, WHILE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RULING THE CITIES,

OUR NATION? BECAUSE YOU GOT IT WRONG, JUDGE. AND THEN WHAT WE

DO IS WE VOTE PEOPLE IN SO THAT THOSE KIND OF JUDGES CAN BE

APPOINTED. AND THOSE JUDGES MAKE DECISIONS WITH THE DEVIL

WHISPERING IN THEIR EARS BECAUSE THEY DON'T REGARD GOD AND THEY

DON'T REGARD MAN. IF THEY REGARDED MAN, THEY WOULD HAVE

LOOKED DOWN AT EVERY WOMAN THAT WANTED TO GET RID OF THEIR CHILD

A CHILD THAT HAS GOTTEN RID OF THEIR CHILD, AND BY THE WAY,

THERE'S FORGIVENESS, THEY WOULD HAVE SAID, "WAIT A MINUTE, DON'T

YOU, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT ABOUT THAT BABY? DOES

THAT BABY HAVE A CHOICE? DOES GOD WHO GAVE THAT BABY IN YOUR

WOMB BECAUSE YOU HAD A SEXUAL ACT, DOES THAT HAVE A CHOICE?"

BUT WHEN YOU GOT THESE JUDGES THAT DON'T REGARD GOD, THEY

DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CHRISTIANITY, YOUR RELIGIOUS

VALUES, YOUR BIBLICAL VALUES, THEY DON'T EVEN REGARD YOU HAVE

INJUSTICE. WHY DOES THIS STUFF HAVE TO EVEN GO TO THE COURTS?

BECAUSE PEOPLE AIN'T GOING TO CHURCH. THE VOICE OF THE CHURCH

IS QUIET, SO THESE JUDGES, THEY BEGIN TO LEGISLATE BY— SAY IT

WITH ME— DEMONS. YOU'RE SCARING ME GOOD. IT'S TIME TO CHANGE

TIME TO WAKE UP. WE GOT A MIDTERM COMING, AND IF WE DON'T

DO WHAT'S RIGHT, WE DON'T DRAW A RED LINE, IT AIN'T GONNA HAVE

MUCH RED IN NOVEMBER. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A DIFFERENT RED—

INDIGNATION. WE GOT TO WAKE UP. WE'RE THE CHURCH. OKAY, 5

PEOPLE. I MUST HAVE PREACHED— I SHOULD HAVE PREACHED THE OTHER

MESSAGE. Y'ALL WOULD HAVE LOVED ME. MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME PEOPLE

'COME BACK.' BUT HERE'S THE POINT. AND HE WOULD NOT FOR A

WHILE, BUT AFTERWARDS HE SAID WITHIN HIMSELF, 'THOUGH I DON'T

FEAR GOD, I DON'T REGARD MAN, YET BECAUSE I'M HAVING THIS

WIDOW KEEP SHOWING UP AT THE VOTING BOOTH, SHE KEEPS SHOWING

UP AT THE CITY COUNCIL, SHE KEEPS CALLING MY PHONE, AND NOW

SHE'S DOING RESEARCH ON ME THAT JUST JUDGE WHETHER I SHOULD

RETAIN MY BENCH OR NOT. HELLO! GET EDUCATED. DON'T JUST SHOW UP

WITHOUT KNOWING WHO IT IS YOU'RE VOTING FOR AND WHAT YOU'RE

VOTING FOR. THEY'RE VERY CREATIVE IN THEIR LANGUAGE. BILL

41793, YES OR NO? WELL, IF YOU DON'T RESEARCH IT, YOU'RE NOT

GOING TO KNOW WHAT. AND THEN YOU PUT A CHECKMARK 'CAUSE YOU FLIP

A COIN, HEADS OR TAILS, AND YOU PUT A CHECKMARK, AND THEN YOU

WONDER WHY OVER TIME HARSHNESS COMES. JUDGES ARE LIKE THEY ARE

BECAUSE OUR LITTLE CHECKMARKS, OR LACK OF IT, DETERMINES JUDGES

THAT GET TO RULE OVER CITIES, STATES, AND NATIONS.

GENERATIONS. BUT WE NEED SOME LITTLE OLD LADIES. SOME LITTLE

OLD MEN. WE NEED SOME YOUNG MEN. SOME YOUNG WOMEN. TO START

SHOWING UP. SAYING, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I AIN'T GONNA SHUT UP. I'M

NOT GONNA LEAVE YOU ALONE." 'CAUSE LOOK AT WHAT THE JUDGE

SAID. "MAN, THIS WIDOW IS TROUBLING ME." COME ON. WHEN'S

THE LAST TIME THAT YOU CAUSED SOME MORAL TROUBLE? WHEN'S THE

LAST TIME THAT YOU SHOWED UP ON BEHALF OF THOSE BABIES? MILLIONS

OF BABIES DEAD, ABORTED. WHEN'S THE LAST TIME THAT YOU TROUBLED

YOURSELF? TO TROUBLE. THAT'S WHAT GOD DID. HE TROUBLED THE

EGYPTIANS, MAN. KNOCKED OFF THEIR CHARIOT WHEELS. BROKE

GENERATIONAL CYCLES OF ABUSE ABUSE, HARDSHIP TO HIS PEOPLE.

WE JUST KEEP TAKING THE ABUSE. WE JUST KEEP LETTING THEM

LEGISLATE. RIGHT? WE KEEP VOTING IN THE GOOFBALL POLITICIANS.

RIGHT, LEFT. YOU KNOW, I LIKE WHAT I HEARD LORENZO SEWELL

SAID. HE SAID MOST OF THE POLITICIANS, DOESN'T MATTER

RIGHT, LEFT, ARE INCOMPETENT. THEY FORGET THAT IT'S WE THE

PEOPLE, NOT WE ARE SUBSERVIENT TO THEM. WE PUT A CHECKMARK BY

YOUR NAME AND NOW WE GOT TO BOW TO YOU. NO, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO

WORK FOR US. YET THEY GET TO TAKE A RECESS WHILE THE REST OF

THE NATION HAS TO FIGURE OUT THEIR PROBLEMS AND WHAT THEY

CREATE. WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU CAUSED SOME TROUBLE? I THINK WE

NEED TO SHOW UP AT THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND WE NEED TO TROUBLE

SOME FOLK. YOU NEED TO BE A HOLY TROUBLEMAKER. I'M NOT TALKING

ABOUT BEING AN IDIOT AND BE RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS. I'M TALKING ABOUT

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW UP IN NUMBERS? WE AIN'T GOING AWAY.

HELLO, WE'RE THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

AND AS YOU PUSH FOR SHARIA LAW THAT ABSOLUTELY IS A

CONTRADICTION TO OUR CONSTITUTION, AND

AS YOU PUSH FOR SHARIA LAW IN OUR COUNTRY THAT THEY SAY IT'S A

RELIGION, BUT MUSLIM AND ISLAM IS IDEOLOGY THAT PUSHES SHARIA

LAW THAT SAYS WE DON'T HAVE TO HONOR YOUR CONSTITUTION, YET

THEY LIVE IN OUR COUNTRY AND IT GIVES THEM UNDER SHARIA LAW THE

RIGHT TO TAKE A WOMAN AND BEAT THE LIVING SNOT OUT OF THEM AND

DRAG THEM AROUND LIKE A DOG, AND WE CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO SHOW UP

AND SAY IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TROUBLE THE SYSTEM. YOU KNOW

WHAT I GOT TIRED OF THE LAST 4 YEARS? A BUNCH OF TROUBLEMAKERS

CAUSING TROUBLE WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT THE CHURCH WAS

SILENT ON. LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND JUST THROW DRAG QUEENS OUT

AND LET THEM DANCE AND PARADE. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,

YEAH. NAKED IN FRONT OF OUR CHILDREN. LET THEM SHOW UP,

TAXPAYERS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND HAVE SOME MAN

WHO THINKS HE'S A WOMAN ON MEDICINE, GENDER CONFUSED AND

DEMONIZED, READ TO MY KIDS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL, AND WE DON'T

CAUSE ANY MORAL TROUBLE? WE JUST LET IT HAPPEN. WE DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH PEOPLE. THEY HAVE MORE VOICE, SO THEY CAUSE MORE

TROUBLE. PROBLEM IS THEY'RE CAUSING THE WRONG THING. WE NEED

TO CAUSE SOME GOOD TROUBLE. GOD CAUSED A GOOD TROUBLE. HE TOOK

CARE OF ENEMIES THAT WANTED TO TAKE OUT HIS PEOPLE, TAKE OUT

HIS NATION, STEAL THEIR FREEDOMS, STEAL THEIR RIGHTS.

COME ON, READ THE TEN COMMANDMENTS STORY, OR MOSES AND

THE RED SEA STORY. SHE SHOWED UP AND SAID— WIDOW SAID, HEY, OR

THE JUDGE, THIS WIDOW IS BOTHERING ME. SHE ACTUALLY KNOWS

THAT SHE HAS THE ABILITY TO KNOCK ME OFF THIS BENCH. SHE HAS

THE ABILITY WITH HER LITTLE "VOTE TO CAUSE MY INJUSTICE TO

STOP." SEE, THAT'S WHY THEY LIE TO YOU AND SAY EVERY CHURCH,

EVERY PASTOR OUGHT TO SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS BECAUSE THEN

YOU'RE LEAVING IT UP TO SOMEBODY ELSE ON THE OUTSIDE TO BE THE

MORAL VOICE, TO BE YOUR MEASURING STICK OF THE STANDARD

OF WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. YET WE NEED SOME WIDOWS.

WE NEED SOME FOLK WHO ARE WILLING TO CAUSE SOME HOLY MORAL

TROUBLE, SOME SANITY TROUBLE, COMMON SENSE TROUBLE. OKAY, YOU

MEAN TO TELL ME THAT— I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT. A DUDE IN

WOMEN'S SPORTS, HOW HARD IS THAT TO FIGURE OUT? YOU WANT TO ARGUE

ABOUT IT? IT'S LIKE I'M NOT WASTING MY VOICE. I'M NOT

WASTING MY BREATH. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT DON'T WORK. HOW COME

WOMEN AIN'T ALL TRYING TO BEAT DOWN THE DOORS OF MEN'S SPORTS?

BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT DON'T WORK. I MEAN, AND WE SIT THERE AND WE

LET THEM CAUSE TROUBLE IN OUR COUNTRY. AGAIN, IT AIN'T HARD TO

FIGURE OUT A DUDE WITH A WIG AND A BEARD AND HAS ANNUAL PROSTATE

EXAMS GOING INTO A WOMEN'S BATHROOM AFTER YOUR

LITTLE 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER DRESSED AS A DUDE, IT AIN'T

COMMON SENSE TO FIGURE OUT THAT THAT AIN'T IT AND THAT AIN'T

RIGHT. TIME FOR US TO CAUSE SOME TROUBLE, SOME GOOD TROUBLE. SEE,

SOME OF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I'M SAYING, BUT YET LESS THAN— WHAT

WAS IT? 5% OF OUR AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THE SOLDIERS THAT

SHED THEIR BLOOD, BEAT THEIR PLOWS INTO SPEARS, THEIR SHOVELS

INTO SWORDS, LESS THAN 5% JOINED THE REVOLUTION TO FIGHT AGAINST

THE INJUSTICE THAT WAS COMING FROM THE BRITISH. THERE WAS

OVERTAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. SOUNDS LIKE

TODAY. THERE WAS ATTACK ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS, AND 5% STOOD

UP. LESS THAN 5%. SOME SAY LESS THAN 10%. AND IS THE REASON

THEIR BLOOD STILL SPEAKS TODAY IN A COUNTRY AFTER 250 YEARS

YEARS. IT'S TRYING TO BE TAKEN FROM US THROUGH LIBERAL

COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM. WE HAVE FREEDOM TODAY. AND BY THE WAY,

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK I'M OUT OF LINE, READ YOUR HISTORY.

YOU KNOW WHO WAS LEADING THE CHARGE OF THE AMERICAN

REVOLUTION? PREACHERS, PASTORS, MEN OF GOD WHO SIGNED OUR

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. THE BLACK-ROBED A REGIMENT OF

PREACHERS. THEY WERE THE FIRST CONCEALED CARRIERS. THEY WOULD

WEAR BLACK ROBES WHILE THEY PREACHED, AND UNDERNEATH THEY

WOULD HAVE THEIR GUNS PACKED AWAY, THEIR GLOCKS. AND THEY

WOULD TELL THEIR CONGREGATION, "FIGHT FOR YOUR FIGHT FOR YOUR

DAUGHTERS. FIGHT FOR THE GENERATION THAT IS HERE NOW AND

IS TO COME. OH NO, WE'LL WATCH BRAVEHEART. GO MEL GIBSON, WE

ARE WITH YOU. AND WE JUMP UP, SPILL OUR POPCORN IN OUR

THEATER, IN OUR HOMES. OH, I JUST LOVE BRAVEHEART AND THAT

SCENE. AND THEN A PREACHER GETS UP. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S MIXING

POLITICS WITH HIS PREACHING. PREACHING. SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO

LET THE MOVIES SAVE OUR GENERATION, HELP OUR CULTURE,

HELP OUR SOCIETY? THIS WAS NOT MY BACK TO SCHOOL— WHAT IS IT?

BACK TO CHURCH. I ALMOST HAD TO SAY BACK TO SCHOOL. WELL, YOU'RE

TROUBLING ME, PREACHER. GOOD. WAKE UP. NOW I LIKE WHAT THIS—

SEE, HERE'S THE THING. THIS IS WHAT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT. CAN I

MEDDLE? WE HAVE A SAVE AMERICA ACT THAT WANTS ELECTION

INTEGRITY. IS THE LANGUAGE RIGHT? THEY ALWAYS THROW

SOMETHING IN, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY IT ISN'T HARD. YOU KNOW, WHY DO

THE BILLS HAVE TO BE THIS HIGH? HOW MANY EVER BOUGHT A HOUSE AND

HAD A MORTGAGE? WHY DO THE PAPERS HAVE TO BE THIS BIG?

BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO SLIP SOMETHING IN FOR YOU TO

SIGN AND AGREE TO, BUT YOU STILL GOT YOUR HOUSE, RIGHT? WE WON'T

HAVE A NATION IF WE DON'T SAVE OUR COUNTRY BY YOU, THE PEOPLE.

NOW HERE'S WHAT'S INTERESTING. LISTEN TO ME. I CAN'T FIGURE IT

OUT. EVERYBODY WANTS TO MAKE IT THE DEMOCRATS' FAULT. YEAH,

THEY'RE STEALING THE ELECTIONS, THOSE SLIMEBALL POLITICIAN

LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, LIBTARDS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM,

DEMON RATS. BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU RHINOS? WHAT ABOUT YOU

REPUBLICAN DO-NOTHINGS? WHAT ABOUT YOU REPUBLICAN RUMPERS?

YOU SIT ON YOUR RUMP, REPUBLICAN RED RUMPERS. THAT'S YOUR RUMP IS

RED BECAUSE YOU'RE SITTING. YOU AIN'T DOING NOTHING EXCEPT

FIGHTING AMONG YOURSELF AND THEN CAN'T MAKE A DECISION FOR YOUR

PARTY. PARTY THAT I SOMEHOW THINK IT'S OKAY IF WE JUST

EMBRACE SHARIA LAW? WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, REPUBLICAN

PARTY? ARE YOU A PARTY OF THE PEOPLE? ARE YOU ABOUT THE

CONSTITUTION? ANYBODY THAT'S EVER READ THE SHARIA LAW AND OUR

CONSTITUTION UNDERSTANDS THEY DON'T MIX. I MEAN, GO BACK AND

WATCH SESAME STREET. WHICH ONE OF THESE IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER?

CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH ONE IS NOT THE SAME? I MEAN, IF WE'RE NOT

CAREFUL, WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKE GROVER ON SESAME STREET.

REMEMBER THAT GUY? UH, EXCUSE ME, THERE IS A FLY IN MY SOUP.

OH, JUST A MINUTE, SIR, I WILL GO GET IT FOR YOU. A NEW SOUP,

OKAY? HOW MANY MORE FLIES DO WE NEED? THE DEVIL, WHO'S THE LORD

OF THE FLY, BUZZING WHERE HE SHOULDN'T BE, BECAUSE WE AIN'T

TROUBLING, WE AIN'T DOING NOTHING, WE'RE JUST SITTING BY

WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE IS CAUSING CAUSING REAL TROUBLE, BAD

TROUBLE, VIOLENT TROUBLE, CORRUPT TROUBLE. SO WE GOT THIS

SAVE AMERICA ACT, AND I'M SITTING HERE GOING, RIGHT, LEFT,

YOU KNOW WHY Y'ALL CAN'T COME TOGETHER? BECAUSE YOU BOTH ARE

STEALING THESE ELECTIONS. YOU BOTH ARE FILTHY CORRUPT. AND WE

WHO VOTE YOU IN HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE HONEST ELECTIONS. WE DON'T

NEED DEAD PEOPLE WE DON'T NEED ABSENTEE BALLOTS COMING IN.

Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM. AND THEN MULTIPLE TIMES

YOU GET TO VOTE. NO, YOU GET TO VOTE ONCE. WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT

TO HOLD THOSE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEM

ACCOUNTABLE? ACCOUNTABLE. WHY? OH MY GOSH, I KNOW, I CAN'T

BELIEVE I INVITED HIM. I TOLD HIM THAT YOU WERE NICE, PASTOR.

I AM, BUT I'M A VERY TRUTHFUL MAN, AND RIGHT NOW I SEE A NEED

THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. WE GOT A FEW DAYS TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY,

AND THEN THE UNJUST JUDGES STRIKE IT DOWN. WELL, WE JUST

DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S TIME TO MAKE ANY KIND OF MAIL-IN BALLOT

RESTRICTIONS AND ACCOUNTABILITY. IT SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT TIME. IT

SHOULD BE ABOUT PRINCIPLE. WE THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT OUR

ELECTIONS, WHETHER WE'RE ON THE LEFT, RIGHT, IN BETWEEN, WE

DON'T WANT THEM MESSED WITH BY MACHINES, BY DEAD PEOPLE, BY

PEOPLE WHO AREN'T LEGAL IN OUR COUNTRY HAVING MORE RIGHTS THAN

ME WHO EARNED IT, WHO WORKED FOR IT. WITH THE TRUE SPIRIT OF

CAPITALISM. I MEAN, SO WHAT EVERY ONE OF US OUGHT TO DO IS

BE CALLING OUR SENATORS AND OUR CONGRESSMEN AND SAYING, "WHAT

ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING SITTING THIS ONE OUT? WHAT

ARE YOU DOING ARGUING AMONG YOURSELF?" YOU WORK FOR ME. NOW

GET TO WORK AND SAVE AMERICA, YOU POLITICAL PATHETIC PERSON.

OKAY, JUST HAD TO SAY IT BECAUSE I FELT IT. YOU CALLED PEOPLE

NAMES. SO DID JESUS. HE CALLED THEM WHITEWASHED SEPULCHERS FULL

OF DEAD MEN'S BONES. GENERATION OF VIPERS, SNAKES, DONKEYS,

RHINOS. SO I'M BIBLICAL. I'M BIBLICAL. I'M JUST STAYING IN

LINE OF ANIMALS WITH JESUS. LIBERAL DONKEY, YOU RHINO

REPUBLICAN ELEPHANT. SEE, JESUS

WENT AFTER VIPERS. THAT'S SNAKES.

JOHN THE BAPTIST.

I'M ALMOST DONE SO YOU CAN GO AND GET REPRIEVE AT THE

RESTAURANTS. I DID NOT PLAN ON PREACHING THIS, BUT WE'RE HAVING

FUN. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO ON. SO LET'S GO ON. WHERE ARE WE? GO

BACK TO VERSE 5. YET HE— YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW KEEPS BEING

IN MY FACE, CALLING MY PHONE, LEST BY HER CONTINUAL

PERSISTENCE SHE'S WEARING ME OUT. SHE KEPT WITH IT. LOOK AT

VERSE 6, "AND THE LORD SAID, HEAR WHAT THE UNJUST JUDGE

SAYS: SHALL NOT GOD AVENGE HIS OWN ELECT, WHICH CRIES DAY AND

NIGHT UNTO HIM, THOUGH WE BEAR WITH THEM LONG?" IN OTHER WORDS,

IT CAME TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS NIGHT AND DAY, NIGHT AND

DAY. SHE DID NOT STOP. AND GUESS WHAT? WHO BROUGHT CHANGE? WELL,

THE JUDGE DID. NO. THAT WAS JUST A MANIFESTATION. WHO BROUGHT

CHANGE? DON'T SAY GOD DID. IT WAS THE WOMAN THAT CAUSED THE

DEMONIC JUDGE TO CHANGE. IT WAS THE WOMAN THAT BROUGHT THE GOD

FACTOR THAT BROUGHT GOD IN. SOMETIMES WE'RE THINKING, OH,

IT'S JUST GOD. HE'LL DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO. THAT'S NOT THE

WAY JESUS TOLD THE STORY. HE DIDN'T TELL THE STORY THAT HANDS

OFF AND GOD SHOWS UP. HE DIDN'T TEACH BE HANDS OFF AND I'LL JUST

COME IN AND I'LL CHANGE THE POLITICIAN'S HEART AND I'LL GIVE

YOU RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. I'LL GIVE YOU LIBERTIES IN YOUR STATE,

YOUR CITY COUNCIL, OVER YOUR BATHROOMS,

WOMEN, WOMEN'S SPORTS. I'LL GIVE YOU LIBERTY BECAUSE I'M GOD. HE

DIDN'T TELL THE STORY THAT WAY. HE TOLD THE STORY BASED ON

SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING TO TAKE THE ENERGY, THE TIME TO HAVE THE

RIGHT ATTITUDE, THE RIGHT WORDS, AND KEEP HAMMERING IT UNTIL YOU

SAW GOOD CHANGE. THEN IT BROUGHT YOU WANT GOD TO CARRY IT OUT.

OKAY, CAN I HAVE— THANK YOU FOR ONE HAND CLAP. THANK YOU. THANK

YOU. I'M GOING TO DO IT SO— I'VE ALREADY GOT YOU MAD AT ME.

LISTEN, I THINK YOU'RE SO FANTASTIC. I THINK YOU'RE

TERRIFIC. YOU'RE SUCH A GREAT PERSON. SUCH A GREAT PERSON.

ISN'T SHE WONDERFUL? LET'S GIVE HER A HAND CLAP. SHE'S SUCH A

WONDERFUL PERSON. YOU'RE PROBABLY THE BEST YOU'RE THE

BEST CLAPPER OF ALL CHURCHES. YOU'RE THE BEST. YEAH, SHE'S THE

BEST. I CAN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT YOU, BUT SHE'S GREAT.

SHE'S GREAT.

IT'S A GOOD THING I'M A SECURE PREACHER.

IT'S PROBABLY NOT A BACK-TO-CHURCH MESSAGE. IT'S

TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICE UP. LOOK AT LUKE 21:25-28. NOW, SOMETIMES

Luke 21:25–28

WE CAN GET IN A PLACE WHERE IT'S HARDER FOR US TO LIFT UP OUR

VOICE IF WE DON'T HAVE OUR HEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THIS IS WHY

THIS KIND OF PREACHING, IT MESSES WITH YOU. IT'S TO GET YOU

TO BE LIKE THE WIDOW, TO GET UP AND BEGIN TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT

YOUR LIFE MAKES A DIFFERENCE, THAT CAUSES GOOD TROUBLE, CAUSES

TROUBLE TO THE TROUBLE, CAUSES TROUBLE TO THE DEVIL, CAUSES

TROUBLE TO DEMONIC TO DEMONIC ENTITIES AND TO EVIL, RIGHT?

WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING, EVIL PREVAILS. THAT'S NOT HARD. WE

SIT THERE AND QUOTE IT AS LONG AS THE PRESIDENT SAYS IT, BUT IF

A PREACHER SAYS IT, OH, STAY OUT OF POLITICS. WELL, I'M NOT

TALKING POLITICS. I'M TALKING ABOUT A CULTURE, A GENERATION

INFILTRATED WITH EVIL. IF WE DO NOTHING, THEN EVIL PREVAILS. BUT

WE'VE GOT TO TAKE ON THE POSTURE OF, YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S TIME TO

DO SOMETHING. IT'S TIME TO PUSH BACK. IT'S TIME TO STAND UP.

IT'S TIME TO RISK IT ALL BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE WHAT

OTHERS BLED AND DIED FOR AND PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR TO

SERVE AND TO FIGHT ON OUR BEHALF, OUR GREAT

VETERANS AND SOLDIERS.

RIGHT?

BUT HOW ABOUT THIS? WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT OUR GREAT SOLDIERS.

HOW ABOUT THE GREATEST SOLDIER, JESUS CHRIST? DO YOU THINK THAT

HIS CHURCH DOES DESERVES TO HAVE EMPTY CHAIRS EVERY SINGLE

SUNDAY? DO YOU THINK THAT JESUS CHRIST, WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE,

ULTIMATE OF ULTIMATE PRICES OF ANY PRICE EVER PAID, THAT

SPILLED HIS BLOOD GREATER THAN ANY SOLDIER EVER HAS, DO YOU

THINK THAT HE DESERVES FOR US TO JUST SHUT OUR MOUTHS WHILE FALSE

GODS TRY TO TAKE OVER? THE DEVIL RUNS RAMPANT EVIL INCREASES

WHILE GOOD MEN DO NOTHING. HIS CHURCH. OH, STAY OUT OF

POLITICS. REALLY? JESUS NEVER TAUGHT THAT. IN FACT, HE DIDN'T

MIND GOING AND SAYING, "HEY, DISCIPLES, DO ME A FAVOR." I'M

INSERTING MYSELF AS PASTOR JESUS. "GO TELL HEROD THE

FOX." AND WHEN HE SAID HEROD THE FOX, HE

WASN'T SAYING, "GO TELL HEROD, THAT SLY OLD KING HE IS, THAT

SLY OLD BOY." NO, THE WORD FOX, HERE'S THE RIGHT TRANSLATION.

"GO TELL THAT IMMORAL, BISEXUAL, HOMOSEXUAL KING HEROD, I AM

CASTING OUT DEVILS TODAY." I'M PREACHING REPENTANCE TODAY AND

TELLING, BY THE WAY, I AIN'T STOPPING. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE

TO EXPRESS MYSELF AS THE LORD OF THE CHURCH, WHICH IS ABOUT TO

ESTABLISH MY CHURCH. AND I'M GOING TO INSERT MYSELF IN YOUR

FACE, KING HEROD, AND TELL YOU I'M GOING TO KEEP DOING WHAT I'M

DOING, AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. JOHN THE

BAPTIST. JOHN THE BAPTIST. THEY BROUGHT HIS HEAD IN ON A

PLYMOUTH CHARGER. THEY HAD CARS BACK THEN. BECAUSE HE CHOSE NOT

TO PUT HIS HEAD IN THE SAND. HE ABSOLUTELY CONFRONTED WHAT WAS

CONSIDERED THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, BUT HE ALSO INSERTED HIMSELF

IN THE CULTURE. HE WAS NOT AFRAID EVEN TO INSERT HIMSELF

INTO POLITICS TO WHERE HE LITERALLY SAID ABOUT HEROD,

HEROD'S BROTHER, "HEY, YOU SHOULD NOT BE SHACKING UP WITH

THAT. THAT IS IMMORAL. THAT IS WRONG." AND GUESS WHAT? THEY

CALLED FOR HIM. YOU DIDN'T THINK HE KNEW THAT? PHARAOH KNEW THE

IMPORTANT ROLE OF HAVING SOMEONE THAT REPRESENTED THE KINGDOM OF

GOD. HE MADE JOSEPH SECOND IN COMMAND TO HIM. ALL THROUGHOUT

SCRIPTURE, YOU SEE THOSE WHO WENT ON BEHALF OF THE KING AND

THE KINGDOM AND INSERTED THEMSELVES IN THE CULTURE, IN

THE GOVERNMENT, AND THEY SPOKE UP, AND THEY WERE LIKE

THAT WIDOW. THEY TROUBLED THEM UNTIL THEY BROUGHT A RIGHTEOUS

RESOLVE. I'M TELLING YOU, WE ARE AT A PLACE IN OUR COUNTRY WHERE

IT CANNOT JUST BE ABOUT ONE BACK-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY. IT HAS TO

BE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT

PRESIDENT TRUMP. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT THE

DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE SENATE PARTY, THE TEA

PARTY, WHATEVER PARTY YOU WANT, YOUR OWN PARTY. YOU CAN CRY IF

YOU WANT TO. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AND ENTITY IS JESUS CHRIST

AND HIS CHURCH. AND IT IS WORTH STANDING FOR. IT IS WORTH

FIGHTING FOR. IT IS HIS WAY AS YAHWEH AND NOT OUR WAY. AND WE

NEED SOME FOLK THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF ATTITUDE

LIKE THEY I'M LIKE THAT WIDOW. I AIN'T BACKING OFF UNTIL I SEE

CHANGE. SO NOBODY BETTER BE SITTING THIS ONE OUT. WE HAVE AN

EVENT. PUT UP THE GRAPHIC. OCTOBER 5TH. I JUST THOUGHT OF

THIS. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START WALKING. PLEASE, THIS WAY.

OCTOBER— THIS IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. YOU NEED TO INVITE

SOMEBODY. MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH, WE'VE INVITED A FEW OF THOSE WHO

WORK FOR US, RIGHT? POLITICAL ENTITIES COME. BUT I

WANT YOU TO JOIN US. I WANT YOU TO JOIN US ONLINE. WE'RE GOING

TO BE STREAMING IT AS WELL AT 7 O'CLOCK. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

RICK GREEN HERE. WE NEED TO VOTE OUR VALUES. NOW HERE'S THE

THING. YOU KNOW WHY THE CHURCH, EVEN NEBRASKA, DOESN'T HALF KNOW

WHAT THEIR VALUES ARE ANYMORE? BECAUSE PREACHERS ARE COWARDS

AND CHURCHES AREN'T TALKING ABOUT IT. AND SO THERE'S NO REAL

MORAL STANDARD, VOICES, EXPRESSIONS. AND SO EVIL IS THE

ONE THAT'S EXPRESSING ITSELF. THAT'S WHY THE LAST 4 YEARS,

WHAT DID YOU SEE? I NEVER SAW EVIL AT THAT LEVEL. BUT THEN

AGAIN, I NEVER SAW SUCH APATHY FROM CHRISTIANS AND FROM

PREACHERS THAT WOULDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN FIGHTING FOR

JESUS AND FOR HIS CHURCH. YEAH, BUT DON'T YOU HOW MANY OF YOU

KNOW THAT JESUS IS THE DOVE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND IT CAME ON HIM?

IT ONLY MENTIONS ONE TIME THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME AS A DOVE

AND SETTLED ON JESUS. THE REST OF THE TIME, MAN, SOMETHING

HAPPENED TO JESUS. HE BECAME THE LION OF JUDAH, BECAUSE IF YOU

READ IN HEAVEN, HE'S THE LION OF JUDAH. SOMETHING HAPPENED TO

HIM. IN REVELATION, HE'S COMING BACK ON A HORSE, AND HE'S CALLED

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. BUT I WANT YOU TO COME. I WANT

YOU TO BE A PART OF THIS. I DON'T WANT ANY OF THOSE OF YOU

WHO BELIEVE IN ME AND WHAT I'M SAYING AS TRUTH TO SIT THIS ONE

OUT, BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

BE ENGAGED IS GOING TO HELP US SO THAT YOU CAN GET OUT AND GET

OTHER PEOPLE TO SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU LOVE KIDS IN THE

WOMB, OUTSIDE OF THE WOMB, IF YOU LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN AND

YOU'RE TIRED OF THEM ALWAYS BECOMING THE PREY AND THE

VICTIM," JESUS WAS VERY HE SAID IT'D BE BETTER THAT THEY TIE A

MILLSTONE AROUND THE NECK OF THOSE WHO WANT TO MUTILATE OUR

CHILDREN IN THE NAME OF TRANSGENDER TRANSITIONING THAN

TO CAUSE ONE OF THESE TO STUMBLE. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR

US TO BE A VOICE, TO BE A PEOPLE WHO ARE UNASHAMED. YOU KNOW, WE

THINK, WELL, AND LET ME JUST SAY THIS, WE ALWAYS PREACH ROMANS

16. WELL, I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

YEAH, YOU ARE, BECAUSE YOU ONLY LOOK AT

THAT VERSE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FOUR WALLS OF A CHURCH, AND THEN

MAYBE IF YOU GO OUT OF THE FOUR WALLS AND YOU TELL SOMEBODY

ABOUT JESUS. BUT ARE YOU ASHAMED ABOUT THE GOSPEL IF YOU'RE

SITTING NEXT TO SOMEBODY ON THE PLANE AND THEY'RE A MUSLIM?

WELL, THEY GOT THEIR RIGHT TO THEIR RELIGION. ARE YOU ASHAMED

OF THE GOSPEL WHEN THEY'RE TELLING YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR

KID BRING A BIBLE, BUT BOY, THEY CAN CHECK OUT A BOOK FROM THE

LIBRARY THAT TEACHES CHILDREN HOW TO INSERT STUFF INTO THEIR

RECTUMS AND HAVE INTERCOURSE IN GRADE SCHOOL. YOU'RE ASHAMED OF

THE GOSPEL IF YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. IF YOU HAVEN'T GONE

AND CHECKED OUT WHAT YOUR KIDS ARE READING AND WHAT THE

SCHOLASTIC CLUB IS SUGGESTING AND WHAT THE TEACHER'S ALLOWING

TO BE READ TO YOUR KIDS. IF YOU THINK I'M HARSH AS A PREACHER

TODAY AND THIS CHURCH IS OFF BASE, THEN YOU'RE ASHAMED OF THE

GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER THAT BRINGS,

LIKE THAT WIDOW, JUDGES, POLITICIANS, CULTURE EVIL TO

HAVE TO ADJUST TO THE HOLY TROUBLEMAKERS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

AND IN HONOR. WE DO THINGS HONORABLY TO HAVE TO CHANGE AND

TO RELENT. THEY BEGIN TO SAY, HEY MAN, THOSE CHRISTIANS ARE

THERE, THEY'RE LOUD. BOY, THERE'S A LOT OF THEM. NO, WE

LOOK TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT PARTIES TO SAVE US. WHAT ABOUT

THE CHURCH? CHURCH. WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE CHURCH? SO YOU MEAN

JESUS, YOU DIED SO THAT THE REPUBLICANS CAN MAKE THE WAY?

JESUS SAID, I'M THE WAY. AND IF YOU ARE PART OF HIS CHURCH, THEN

YOU'RE TO HELP HIM MAKE THAT WAY. YOU'RE TO HELP HIM HAVE

ENTRANCE INTO— AS WHAT JESUS SAID, HEY, YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF

THE WORLD. IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T HIDE UNDER A BUSHEL. GET OUT

THERE, GET OUT THERE AND EXPRESS YOURSELF AS A CONDUIT FOR ME,

THE LORD, WHO IS THE WAY, SO THAT YOU CAN ALLOW ME TO HAVE

ENTRANCE, BECAUSE I AM THE LIGHT IN YOUR DARK WORLD. LET'S STAND

TO OUR FEET. LOOK AT LUKE 21:20-21. 25 THROUGH 28. IT

Luke 21:20–21

SAYS, AND THERE WILL BE SIGNS IN THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE

STARS, AND UPON THE EARTH DISTRESS OF NATIONS WITH

PERPLEXITY. THE SEA AND EVEN THE WAVES ARE GOING TO ROAR. HOW

MANY KNOW THAT'S CRAZY TIMES? BUT THEN LOOK, YOU GOT TO CLEAR

YOUR HEAD. YOU GOT TO GET YOUR HEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACE. BUT

THEN MEN'S HEARTS WILL FAIL THEM FOR FEAR. WHY? BECAUSE THEY LOOK

AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE COMING ON THE EARTH. THEY'RE LOOKING AT

THE TV, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE MEDIA AND ALL THE THINGS THAT

ARE BEING PRESENTED WHICH ARE COMING ON THE EARTH BECAUSE THE

POWERS OF HEAVEN WILL BE SHAKEN. SO YOU GOT TO GET YOUR HEAD IN

THE RIGHT PLACE, GOT TO GET YOUR HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT?

DON'T BE CRITICAL OF WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU. IF YOUR HEART'S

IN THE RIGHT PLACE, YOUR HEAD'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE, YOU'RE GOING

TO GO, WOW, IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY SPEAKS UP AND SPEAKS

OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN TELL YOU, I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO SOME

POLITICIANS LATELY AND THEY SURE AS HECK AREN'T SPEAKING UP AND

SPEAKING OUT. I'M LIKE, COME ON, IS THERE GONNA BE ANYONE? I TEXT

JOHN AMANCHUKWU YESTERDAY BECAUSE I WATCHED ONE OF HIS CLIPS. HE

LAID IT ON THE LINE, WENT DOWN TO FLORIDA TO ONE OF THE

SCHOOLS AND STARTED READING THE BOOKS THAT THEY HAD IN THE

SCHOOL. AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SCHOOL BOARD BEGINS TO INTERRUPT

HIM, HIS TIME THAT LEGALLY HE IS ALLOTTED TO HAVE, AND THEN

BEGINS TO CENSOR HIM, SHUTS HIM DOWN, AND THEN SAYS, OH, EXCUSE

ME, BUT WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO SAY YOU CAN'T SAY THIS, AND

WE'RE STREAMING, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CUT YOU SHORT. SO

THEY CENSOR HIM, DON'T EVEN ALLOW HIM TO READ THE BOOK THAT

THEY ALLOW IN THE— BECAUSE IT COULD BE OFFENSIVE TO PARENTS.

YET THEY IGNORED WHAT OUGHT TO BE OFFENSIVE TO EVERY PERSON

SITTING ON THE SCHOOL BOARD. THEY DON'T REGARD YOUR KIDS.

THEY DON'T REGARD MEN. IT TAKES SOMEONE LIKE THE WIDOW, JOHN

AMANCHUKWU, TO STAND UP AND SAY, "EXCUSE ME. IF YOU CUT THE

STREAM OFF, THERE IS A LAW IN YOUR STATE THAT SAYS YOU

AUTOMATICALLY THEN HAVE TO TAKE THOSE BOOKS OUT." SHE DID IT

ANYWAY, CUT THE STREAM OFF, AND SAT THERE AND ARGUED WITH HIM

AND WOULDN'T EVEN LET HIM HAVE HIS TIME. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE UP

AGAINST. SOME PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE THEY GOT A LITTLE BIT OF

AUTHORITY THAT THEY CAN KICK YOU AROUND, YOUR GOD AROUND, THE

CHURCH AROUND, YOUR KIDS, BECAUSE AIN'T NOBODY BRINGING

HOLY TROUBLE. AIN'T NOBODY SHOWING UP AND SAYING, NO, NOT

ON MY WATCH, NOT IN MY SCHOOL, NOT IN MY BATHROOM, NOT IN MY

SPORTS, NOT IN MY COUNTRY, NOT IN MY CITY, I AIN'T PUTTING

UP WITH THIS. NOT TO MY GOD. HE'S A FATHER. HE AIN'T IGNORING

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH KIDS, AND NEITHER AM I. AND I TEXT HIM AND

I SAID, JOHN, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, I AM DEEPLY STIRRED

IN MY SPIRIT BY WHAT I JUST SAW. AND HE TEXTS ME IMMEDIATELY

BACK, AND I SAID, MAN, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW SOMETHING.

I SAID, IT'S WHY I DO WHAT I DO WITH CHILDREN'S BOOKS. AND YET I

GOTTA FIGHT TO GET PEOPLE TO FINANCE AND HELP ME PUT

WHOLESOME MATERIAL. AND LET'S FACE IT, A LOT OF THE CHRISTIAN

ACTING MOVIES, I WOULDN'T PAY FOR IT EITHER, 'CAUSE IT HASN'T

BEEN THAT GOOD. BUT WHAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT, WHEN I'VE GOT MAJOR

DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES THAT ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING, WE

AIN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, LIKE THIS, AND THEN I GOT TO PAY

FOR IT AND COME UP WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND TRY TO FIGURE IT

OUT WHILE THE CHURCH JUST SITS BACK AND LETS GARBAGE— BECAUSE

AIN'T NOBODY TROUBLING NOTHING. I JUST DON'T WANT TO CAUSE ANY

TROUBLE, SO I HIDE MY AMERICAN FLAG. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO

KNOW WHAT CHURCH I GO IN, THAT YOU'RE MY PASTOR HANK, IT WILL

CAUSE TOO MUCH TROUBLE. LISTEN, WHAT Y'ALL DON'T UNDERSTAND IS

THOSE WHO ARE ON THE FRONT LINES MAKING HOLY TROUBLE AGAINST THE

FORCES OF DARKNESS AND EVIL FORCES, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE

LEVEL OF TROUBLE THAT STIRS UP. YOU KNOW HOW I WISH THAT I COULD

TYPE MY NAME IN? PEOPLE JUST WANTING TO GO TO CHURCH AND

SEEING WHAT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH IS ABOUT AND WHAT THIS PASTOR IS

ABOUT. NO, THEY GOTTA FILTER THROUGH THE LIARS, THE IMMORAL

PERVERTS, THE INJUSTICE, AND THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL

TARNISH YOUR NAME. ALL IN THE NAME OF FALSEHOOD, INJUSTICE,

BECAUSE THIS PREACHER DECIDED TO CAUSE A LITTLE HOLY TROUBLE AND

SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT GOING TO BE PUSHED BACK. I'M NOT

GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO DO THIS TO US AND TO OUR KIDS. OKAY, WHEN

COVID CAME AND I SAID, BOY, I GOT PUSHED BACK ON THAT ONE. YOU

KNOW, THIS WHOLE MASK THING IS A LIE. AND THEN THE GUY WHO TOLD

YOU TO WEAR IT COMES OUT AND SAYS, THIS THAT'S A LIE. YEAH,

HE AIN'T HAD NO TROUBLE YET. HE NEEDS TO GET IN TROUBLE. AND

THEN FORCING YOU TO GET THE JAB OR THEY'LL FIRE YOU. AND THIS

PREACHER STOOD UP AND SAID, NO, DON'T YOU BE INTIMIDATED AT

WORK. DON'T YOU DARE LET THEM STEAL THAT FROM YOU. AND BOY,

THAT COST ME EVERYTHING. PREACHER IS TRYING TO KILL

PEOPLE BECAUSE HE'S TELLING THEM DON'T TAKE THE JOB. WHAT I SAID

IS MAKE SURE YOU INVESTIGATE. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T JUST ALLOW

SOMEBODY TO FORCE SOMETHING ON YOU IN THE NAME OF MANDATES THAT

ISN'T LAW. BUT BOY, THE TROUBLE. I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE THAT GUY.

NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE CAUSED FOR TELLING THE TRUTH FOR

JESUS. YOU WILLING TO DO THAT? ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE? YOU

KNOW, THE BIBLE DOES SAY COWARDS HAVE THEIR PLACE. COME ON, LET'S

BE BIBLICAL. COME ON, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? COWARDS HAVE

THEIR PLACE WHERE? THAT'S WHAT JESUS THINKS OF COWARDNESS.

WE'VE GOT TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE COWARD BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT

LIKE THAT WIDOW. THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEAK UP. THEY DON'T WANT TO

INFRINGE ON THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT THEIR OWN LIFE AT JEOPARDY.

THEN WHAT ARE WE SAYING THAT WE ARE THE CHURCH FOR? I MEAN, WHY

ARE WE EVEN HAVING TO HAVE A SUNDAY IN AMERICA WHEN WE'RE A

CHRISTIAN NATION, GO BACK TO CHURCH? WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER

LEFT IT. AND I'M NOT PUTTING ANYBODY ON BLAST. IF YOU HAVEN'T

BEEN TO CHURCH FOR A WHILE, LISTEN, THERE ARE SOME BENEFITS.

THERE'S SOME BAD PREACHERS. AND THERE'S SOME CHURCHES I WOULDN'T

STEP IN THEIR DOOR EITHER. AND MAYBE IT'S THAT YOU JUST GOT

DISILLUSIONED. YOU GOT HURT. YOU BELIEVED IN THAT PASTOR, BUT

HE'S OFF RUNNING WITH ALL OF HIS ASSISTANTS. ASSISTING THEM IN

THEIR SEXUAL NEEDS.

STEALING.

WELL, THAT AIN'T THIS CHURCH. AND THAT AIN'T THIS PASTOR. AND

IT AIN'T MOST CHURCHES. AND IT AIN'T MOST PASTORS. NO MATTER.

AND BY THE WAY, IT AIN'T ALL MEGACHURCHES. I'VE TRAVELED FOR

40 YEARS, AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU, MOST OF THE MEGACHURCHES I

PREACHED IN HAD THEIR STUFF IN ORDER. IT WAS THE LITTLE ONES

WHERE THE BISHOP WAS THE BISHOP WHO HAD EXTRACURRICULAR RIGHTS

AS BISHOP TO BE MARRIED TO HIS WIFE

BUT TO RUN WITH THE LADIES OF THE HOUSE.

AND TO SIT THERE WHILE YOU GOT TO WEAR HARD HATS TO COME TO

CHURCH BECAUSE THE CEILING TILE'S ABOUT READY TO CAVE IN,

WHILE HE'S RAISING MONEY FOR HIS HOUSE AND HE'S ONLY GOT 50

PEOPLE, AND YET HE'S TRYING TO BUILD A MULTI-WHATEVER. AND BY

THE WAY, WE THINK THAT PREACHERS SHOULD NEVER GET BLESSED. I

NEVER BRING AN INDICTMENT AGAINST A SMALL OR LARGE CHURCH

IF GOD BLESSES THEIR PASTOR AND BLESSES THEIR CONGREGATIONS.

IT'S WHEN IT'S DONE WRONG. IT'S WHEN IT'S LIKE ELI STEALING FROM

THE PEOPLE, MANIPULATING FUNDS, MANIPULATING THE PEOPLE, THAT IT

BECOMES A PROBLEM. IT'S NEVER A PROBLEM WHEN GOD SAID WHAT HE

SAID HE WOULD DO, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE COVENANT OF

ABRAHAM. I'LL BLESS YOU, I'LL MAKE YOU RICH. YOU HAVE A RIGHT

TO THAT SAME BLESSING. IT'S WRONG WHEN IT'S DONE WRONG, AND

GOD DEEP WERE MISTREATED IN YOUR PROCESS, WHERE IT WASN'T THE

BLESSING, IT WAS MANIPULATION. YOU ALL DID WANT ME TO BE YOUR

PASTOR TODAY. I CAN FEEL IT. SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO PRAY A

PRAYER. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN COME UP NEXT TO ME. I WANT

EVERYBODY TO STAY PUT REAL QUICK. I'M GOING TO END THIS.

HEAVENLY FATHER, WE HONOR YOU TODAY. WE THANK YOU, FATHER. YOU

TOOK THIS WORD A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, BUT IT WAS, I

BELIEVE, RIGHT FROM YOUR HEART, WHAT IS ON YOUR HEART,

ESPECIALLY FOR THIS TIME AS OUR COUNTRY— WE'RE ONLY JUST A FEW

DAYS AWAY FROM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS OF US WHO

REPRESENT WHAT THAT WIDOW REPRESENTED. SOMEONE WHO WAS

WILLING TO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING

WERE WILLING TO LIFT UP THEIR VOICE AND CONTINUE TO BE

PERSISTENT UNTIL THEY SEE AND SAW CHANGE. LORD, I PRAY THAT

YOUR CHURCH WOULD ARISE ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. I PRAY

THAT NOT ONLY WOULD IT BE RECORD SUNDAY WITH PEOPLE COMING TO THE

HOUSE OF THE LORD, BUT I PRAY A MONTH FROM NOW THAT IT'LL STILL

BE RECORD SUNDAY OF PEOPLE— THEY DIDN'T JUST COME TO CHURCH, THEY

STAYED IN CHURCH. YES. AND I AM ASKING THAT YOU WOULD RAISE UP

YOUR CHURCH, LORD, TO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF FIGHTING SPIRIT AND

HEART THAT OUR SAVIOR DID. WHEN THEY BEAT HIM, LIED ABOUT HIM,

STRUCK HIM OVER THE HEAD, AND THEN CRUCIFIED HIM, HE NOT ONCE

CAVED. HE NOT ONCE BLAMED SOMEONE. HE STOOD UP SO THAT,

LORD, WE CAN BE THE BENEFICIARY OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HE PAID

FOR. LORD, IN THE SAME WAY OVER OUR COUNTRY, WE DON'T FORGET NOT

ONLY OUR LORD WHO WENT BEFORE US. GOD, WE REMEMBER ALL OF

THOSE WHO HAVE STOOD AND HAVE FOUGHT SO THAT WE COULD LIVE IN

THIS COUNTRY, SO THAT WE COULD HAVE RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES AND

FREEDOMS, AND THAT WHAT JESUS FOUGHT FOR AND GAVE HIS LIFE

WILLINGLY FOR, LORD, IS NOT IN NOT IN VAIN. WE CHOOSE AS YOUR

PEOPLE TO STAND AT THIS TIME IN JESUS' NAME. NOW, PASTOR DOUG,

THERE'S PEOPLE HERE, AND PERHAPS THEY HAVE NEVER ASKED JESUS TO

COME INTO THEIR HEART. THIS IS PROBABLY THE— WELL, IT IS THE

GREATEST DECISION. SO, PASTOR DOUG, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT

THESE PEOPLE. I'M GOING TO STAND RIGHT HERE WITH PASTOR DOUG

BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A BOLD GENERATION RIGHT NOW. WE'VE GOT

PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO RAISE THEIR HANDS AND SAY ALL KINDS OF

STUFF, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY SUPPORT EVIL. ARE YOU WILLING TO

RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I WANT TO STAND NOT

ONLY FOR JESUS CHRIST, BUT I WANT TO

COMMIT MY WHOLE LIFE TO HIM?

SO, PASTOR DOUG, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE HERE AND YOU'VE NEVER

MADE A DECISION TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE,

AND YOU'VE HEARD SO MUCH TODAY, GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT HOW GOD

WANTS TO BLESS YOU, AND HE HAS AN ABUNDANT PLAN FOR OUR LIVES,

BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE. YOU KNOW, JESUS DOESN'T SEND

ANYONE TO HELL. THERE'S ETERNITY. YOU CAN GO TO HEAVEN,

YOU CAN GO TO HELL. JESUS DOESN'T SEND PEOPLE TO H***. WE

SEND OURSELVES THERE WHEN WE DO NOT MAKE A CHOICE FOR JESUS. IN

OTHER WORDS, THE BIBLE TELLS US WE HAVE FREE CHOICE. YOU HAVE TO

DECIDE, AND YOU CAN DECIDE YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY TODAY. TODAY YOU

CAN MAKE THAT CHOICE, AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO LEAVE THIS

PLACE WITHOUT THAT OPPORTUNITY. I KNOW WE HAVE GUESTS HERE

TODAY, AND MAYBE YOU'VE NEVER MADE A CHOICE FOR JESUS CHRIST.

YOU CAN DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE JUST BY CHOOSING HIM. IT STARTS

WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER. THE BIBLE TELLS US IN ROMANS CHAPTER 10

Romans 10 · chapter mention

THAT IF WE BELIEVE AND CONFESS, WE CAN MAKE HIM THE LORD OF OUR

LIFE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THINGS HAPPEN TO PEOPLE, AND IT

CAN HAPPEN SUDDENLY. JUST THIS PAST WEEK, THERE WAS A

46-YEAR-OLD MAN DRIVING IN A VAN UP TOWARDS HIGHWAY 75 TOWARDS

THE AIRPORT. HE WENT OFF INTO THE DITCH AND IT KILLED HIM.

WHEN HE GOT UP AND GOT IN THAT VAN THAT DAY, I HAVE A FEELING

HE HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE HIS LAST DAY ON EARTH. BUT YOU KNOW

WHAT? YOU CAN MAKE A CHOICE TODAY THAT CAN DETERMINE YOUR

ETERNAL SALVATION, WHETHER OR NOT WHETHER OR NOT YOU END UP

WITH HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY OR IN A PLACE THAT THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'LL

BE SEPARATED FROM GOD FOREVER. IT'S CALLED HELL. NO ONE WANTS

TO GO THERE. IT'S FOR ETERNITY. IF YOU GO TO HELL, THERE'S NO

PAROLE BOARD THERE. YOU CAN'T GET OUT. YOU CAN'T ESCAPE. SO

MAKE A CHOICE FOR JESUS. MAKE A CHOICE TODAY. YOU CAN SECURE

YOUR SALVATION AND YOU CAN KNOW YOU HAVE A PATH, AND THEN HE HAS

AN ABUNDANT LIFE PASTOR WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE'LL GUIDE YOU,

DIRECT YOU, BLESS YOU IF YOU WALK WITH HIM. THAT'S SO

IMPORTANT. I'M GOING TO ASK EVERYONE IN THIS PLACE JUST TO

BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME FOR A MOMENT. NO ONE LOOKING AROUND,

BUT JUST FOCUS AND ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: IF I WAS TO LEAVE

THIS EARTH TODAY ON AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING HAPPENED— YOU KNOW,

WE ALL BELIEVE FOR LONG LIFE. GOD OFFERS THAT TO US AS

CHRISTIANS. BUT SOMETHING CAN TAKE YOU OUT IN A MOMENT'S

NOTICE, AND YOU NEED TO BE READY. AND IF THAT'S YOU TODAY

AND YOU WOULD SAY, PASTOR DOUG, THAT'S ME, I WANT YOU TO PRAY

FOR ME. IT STARTS WITH A PRAYER. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO

SOMETHING VERY BOLD TODAY. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO RAISE YOUR

HAND. I'M GOING TO COUNT TO 3. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO RAISE

YOUR HAND AFTER I COUNT TO 3 AND BE BOLD. AND THEN I'M GOING TO

PRAY FOR YOU, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SECURE YOUR PLACE IN ETERNITY

WITH HIM. WHEN I COUNT TO 3, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO RAISE YOUR

HAND QUICKLY. DON'T BE EMBARRASSED. GOD SEES YOUR HAND.

I'LL SEE YOUR HAND, BUT NO ONE ELSE IS LOOKING AROUND. 1, 2, 3.

RAISE YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW. HANDS UP ALL OVER THIS

AUDITORIUM. IF YOU NEED JESUS, YOU WANT TO MAKE A DECISION FOR

JESUS TODAY, YOU WANT HIM TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE, GET YOUR

HANDS UP RIGHT NOW SO I CAN SEE THEM. THE LIGHTS ARE KIND OF

BRIGHT, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SEE. I SEE A HAND OVER HERE. WHO

ELSE? OTHER HANDS COMING UP. RIGHT OVER HERE THERE'S ONE.

THERE'S MORE OVER HERE. OKAY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO

SOMETHING ELSE VERY BOLD. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO JUST STEP

OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND COME RIGHT DOWN HERE IN FRONT OF ME NOW.

EVERY TIME JESUS CALLED SOMEONE, HE CALLED THEM PUBLICLY. JUST

STAND UP AND COME RIGHT DOWN HERE. WE'RE GOING TO PRAY A

PRAYER TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A PLACE

IN ETERNITY WITH JESUS. JUST TURN AROUND, MA'AM, AND LOOK AT

ME. THANK YOU FOR COMING. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? WHAT IS IT? MARLEY.

THANK YOU. I SAW YOU COME IN EARLIER TODAY. THANK YOU FOR

COMING. YOU CAME FROM TEXAS, RIGHT? THANK YOU FOR COMING.

THIS IS YOUR DAY. GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. AND YOUR NAME?

TALIA. OH, THANK YOU FOR COMING. AND YOUR— OH, WHAT IS THE NAME?

JOHN A. OKAY, THANK YOU FOR COMING. AND YOUR NAME, HON? SIR,

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? GEORGE. THANK YOU FOR COMING. I JUST FEEL LIKE

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE HERE. YOU NEED TO BE DOWN HERE. A YOUNG

PERSON, YOU HAVEN'T MADE A DECISION FOR JESUS, YOU WANT TO

SECURE YOUR PLACE IN HEAVEN. JUST FEEL FREE TO COME RIGHT ON

DOWN NOW. GOD'S GIVING YOU AN OPPORTUNITY. DON'T LEAVE THIS

PLACE WITHOUT KNOWING. IT'S GOING TO START WITH A SIMPLE

PRAYER. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO PRAY WITH ME. YOU CAN JUST

REPEAT AFTER ME AS I PRAY. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY,

WHEREVER YOU MAY BE—YOUR HOTEL ROOM, AT WORK—YOU CAN PRAY WITH

ME AND JUST ASK GOD TO COME INTO YOUR HEART, BE YOUR SAVIOR, AND

HE'LL DO IT RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT. THERE'S A PRAYER LINE ON

THERE TOO, A NUMBER YOU CAN CALL FOR AGREEMENT. WE'RE GOING TO

GIVE THESE PEOPLE SOME INFORMATION AFTER THEY PRAY.

WE'LL SEND YOU THAT SAME INFORMATION IF YOU CALL IN

TODAY. WELL, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU GUYS JUST TO REPEAT AFTER ME

AS I PRAY, AND JESUS WILL HEAR HEAR YOU. JUST REPEAT THIS:

FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR SENDING JESUS. I BELIEVE THAT

ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD, JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS AND HE

SUFFERED AND DIED FOR ME. AND TODAY I MAKE A DECISION TO

CHOOSE JESUS. JESUS, COME INTO MY LIFE. BE MY LORD, BE MY

SAVIOR, AND I WILL SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. FORGIVE ME

FOR ANY SIN IN MY LIFE. I WANT TO WALK WITH YOU. THANK YOU,

JESUS, FOR SAVING ME TODAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2026. IT'LL BE

SAY A DAY THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET. AMEN. AMEN. AND I'M

GOING TO ASK OUR ALTAR TEAM TO COME UP HERE NOW. I WANT OUR

ALTAR TEAM JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION. ALTAR TEAM, IF

YOU'D COME UP HERE AND GIVE THESE FOLKS SOME INFORMATION,

HELP THEM ON THEIR WALK. I ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS

COMING THURSDAY NIGHT WE HAVE A NEW LIFE CLASS THAT WE'RE

HOLDING OVER HERE IN ANOTHER BUILDING RIGHT NEXT TO US. IT

WILL HELP YOU WITH YOUR WALK WITH JESUS AND WHAT TO DO WHAT

TO DO NEXT. YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME STEPS. WE NEED TO READ OUR

BIBLE AND PRAY. WE NEED TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRISTIANS AND

HAVE AN ASSOCIATION WITH JESUS. AND THAT'LL HELP YOU IN THAT

WALK BECAUSE IT ISN'T JUST PRAYING A PRAYER, IT'S NOW

STARTING A NEW LIFE WITH HIM. SO I'M GOING TO ASK THESE PEOPLE TO

COME HELP YOU. AND WHILE I DO THAT, BEFORE WE DISMISS

EVERYONE, I WANT TO JUST MAKE A COUPLE LAST ANNOUNCEMENTS HERE.

THERE'S TWO CLASSES YOU GOT. HOW MANY OF YOU GOT ONE OF THESE

FLYERS AS YOU CAME IN? CAME IN TODAY. TWO CLASSES YOU NEED TO

BE AWARE OF. ONE'S CALLED GROWING IN GOD AND TOGETHER.

IT'S A MARRIAGE CLASS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO STRENGTHEN YOUR

MARRIAGE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN TROUBLE IN YOUR MARRIAGE, BUT

YOU JUST WANT TO STRENGTHEN YOUR MARRIAGE, THIS WOULD BE A GREAT

CLASS FOR YOU TO SIGN UP FOR. AND THEN THE OTHER CLASS THAT'S

COMING THIS FALL IS HEALING THE WHOLE MAN, BASED ON A BOOK BY

JOAN HUNTER. AND THIS WILL BE A GREAT CLASS STARTING OCTOBER

6TH. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT HEALING, HOW

TO PROMOTE THE HEALING POWER OF GOD WITH OTHERS AROUND YOU, OR

MAYBE YOU WANT TO GET HEALED YOURSELF, JUST LEARN MORE ABOUT

THAT. SO THOUGH YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR THOSE AT THE INFORMATION
