FOR EVEN AS IT WAS, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SAYS
THAT I DEALT, WHEN I DEALT WITH THE KING OF BABYLON, I SAID
THAT HIS KINGDOM WOULD BECOME EXTINCT.
AND SO THE LORD SAYS THERE SHALL BE A SERIES OF
DIVINE EXTINCTIONS WHERE THINGS THAT PEOPLE THINK WOULD BE
FOREVER SHALL BE DONE AWAY AND NEITHER SHALL THOSE THINGS BE
DONE ANYMORE. FOR THE LORD SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN THINGS
THAT HAVE BEEN ENACTED IN THIS NATION, EVEN IN THE CHURCH
AMONG MY PEOPLE. AND THE LORD SAYS I WILL CAUSE SOME THINGS
TO BECOME EXTINCT AND IT WON'T BE VISITED AGAIN. IT WON'T BE
LOOKED AT AGAIN. SO THE LORD SAID THIS IS A TIME
IN YOUR LIFE TO KNOW THAT CYCLES AND CIRCLES AND THINGS
THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU. AND THE LORD SAYS I AM DECLARING
UPON IT A DIVINE EXTINCTION AND I WILL CAUSE THAT FLAME OF THE
ENEMY TO BE PUT OUT PERMANENTLY SAYS THE LORD. AND SO KNOW THIS
THAT MY DIVINE HAND CAN RAISE UP KINGS. IT CAN PUT OTHERS DOWN.
I'M THE ONE THAT OPENS THE DOORS. I'M THE
ONE THAT SETS MEN UP AND I'M THE ONE THAT PUTS THEM DOWN.
AND SO THE LORD SAYS KNOW THIS THAT I AM CAUSING A DIVINE
EXTINCTION TO SOME OF THE VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY.
I'M CAUSING A DIVINE EXTINCTION TO SOME THINGS OF THOSE
THAT THOUGHT THEY COULD SIT ON SEATS OF HAUGHTY PRIDE.
AND THEY WILL BE BROUGHT LOW SAYS THE LORD FOR
THEY HAVE PUFFED OUT THEIR CHEST AGAINST ME.
THEY HAVE COME AGAINST MY PLAN AND THEY HAVE COME AGAINST MY
PEOPLE. THEY HAVE COME AGAINST THAT WHICH I AM DOING.
AND SO THE LORD SAID THEY HAVE BIT OFF MORE THAN THEY CAN CHEW.
THEY WILL BE BROUGHT TO A PLACE OF HUMBLING SAYS THE HOLY ONE.
AND KNOW THIS, THAT THERE ARE THOSE THINGS THAT MEN HAVE TRIED
TO LEGISLATE AND DO, BUT THE LORD SAID IT WON'T GO THROUGH.
IT WILL NOT PROSPER, FOR A DIVINE EXTINCTION
IS BEING ENACTED FROM THE THRONE OF HEAVEN.
AND AS THE KING OF BABYLON WAS BROUGHT DOWN LOW, AND
HIS WORKS WERE MADE EXTINCT. KNOW THIS, WHEN I SAY
SOMETHING IS TO BE EXTINGUISHED SAYS THE LORD,
IT SHALL BE EXTINGUISHED. SO KNOW THIS, THAT THE LORD GOD
OF HOSTS HAS VISITED YOU THIS DAY, AND I AM DECLARING
AN EXTINCTION UPON THE ENEMY, SAYS THE SPIRIT OF
THE LORD. HALLELUJAH! COME ON, HALLELUJAH! I THINK YOU
OUGHT TO THANK GOD FOR THAT, AND DECLARE A DIVINE
EXTINCTION AGAINST THE DEVIL'S WORK. HALLELUJAH! IN
YOUR LIFE, IN YOUR FAMILY, IN YOUR CHILDREN. NOW LET'S
DO THIS. WE GOT A LOT TO DO TODAY, SO I DON'T WANT TO
BELABOR TOO LONG. BUT, TURN THE LIGHTS UP A LITTLE BIT.
WE'RE GONNA GREET ONE ANOTHER IN A MOMENT, BUT I
WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD BE GOOD. YOU
KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO AT THIS CONFERENCE IS WE
LIKE TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GETS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
PRAYER AND MINISTRY. YOU KNOW WE CAN'T OBVIOUSLY
MINISTER INDIVIDUALLY TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU GUYS? YOU
MINISTER TO EACH OTHER. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY
HAS MINISTERED TO YOU ALREADY JUST BEING HERE?
ISN'T THAT GOOD? WE'RE THE BODY OF CHRIST. SO I I
PROMISE YOU LAST NIGHT WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR PROPHETIC
EXERCISE. ARE YOU READY? I'M GOING TO BE EXCITED FOR IT
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY THAT'S HERE
IN PERSON RECEIVES A PROPHETIC WORD. WELL, CAN
YOU DO THAT PASTOR BRENDA? WELL, YEAH, BECAUSE
PROPHECY, THE BIBLE SAYS IN FIRST CORINTHIANS IS IN ITS
SIMPLEST FORM IS FOR EDIFICATION. SOMEBODY SAY
EDIFICATION. TO EXHORT AND TO COMFORT. SO PROPHECY
OUGHT TO DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO DO. YOU'VE GOT TO FIND A PRAYER PARTNER NEXT
TO YOU. IT CAN BE ANYBODY. I MEAN, I GUESS YOU COULD BE
IN GROUPS OF THREE, BUT THIS IS IDEAL IF YOU DO TWO
PEOPLE. OKAY. OKAY. NOW GUYS LIKE BREAKOUT, HUSBANDS AND
WIVES. DON'T JUST TURN TO EACH OTHER. BREAKOUT. FIND
SOMEONE YOU HARDLY KNOW. OKAY. I SAW Y'ALL HUSBANDS
AND WIVES GRAB HANDS. WE'RE GOING TO BREAK OUT. WE'RE
GOING TO TRY THIS LITTLE THING HERE. I'M GOING TO
TEACH YOU. WHAT I'M DOING IS TEACHING YOU ALL HOW TO
PROPHESY. ALL RIGHT. NOW, EVERYBODY GOT EVERY, ANYBODY
WITHOUT SOMEBODY? I MEAN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
PARTICIPATE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO, BUT I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE
LIKE ROARING LIONS IN HERE. SO I THINK YOU GUYS ARE ALL
THE ONES THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF IT. ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY, ANYBODY WITHOUT SOMEBODY AND YOU STILL WANT
A PRAYER PARTNER? ALL RIGHT, LOOKS LIKE, OKAY, SO HERE'S
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. NOW TRY TO DO THIS IN GROUPS OF TWO
BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS REALLY IMPORTANT. ALL
RIGHT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF YOUR PRAYER PERSON,
THEN SHARE YOUR NAME WITH THEM. ALL RIGHT, SHARE YOUR
NAME WITH THEM. EVERYBODY GOT SOMEBODY? I'M JUST
MAKING SURE I'VE GIVEN EVERYBODY ENOUGH TIME. ALL
RIGHT, SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. ARE YOU READY? NOW
EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME. I'M GONNA GIVE YOU SOME
DIRECTION. LOOK AT ME. LOOK UP HERE. DON'T BE PRAYING
ALREADY, PASTOR TONY. HE'S ALREADY OVER THERE. HE'S
ALREADY GOT PEOPLE FELL UNDER THE POWER. OKAY, SO
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. ALL RIGHT, YOU READY? WE'RE
GONNA LOOK AT THAT PERSON IN THE EYE, JUST LOOK AT 'EM,
IF YOU DIDN'T MEET 'EM, YOU KNOW, SHAKE HANDS, SAY THEIR
NAME. AND THEN WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR A MINUTE WITH THAT
PERSON IN THE HOLY GHOST. NOW I SEE A FEW PEOPLE OUT
THERE IN GROUPS OF FOUR OR FIVE. FOLKS, THIS ISN'T
GONNA WORK IF YOU'RE IN A GROUP OF FOUR, UNLESS
SOMEBODY JUST DOESN'T, THERE'S A THIRD PERSON
DOESN'T HAVE SOMEBODY, BUT IT'S BEST IF YOU REALLY HAVE
TWO. SO IF YOU CAN DIVIDE UP INTO GROUPS OF TWO, THIS IS
MUCH MORE EFFICIENT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. CAUSE MAYBE
SOMEBODY IS ALL BY THEMSELVES AND I UNDERSTAND
THAT. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
DO. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST?
SO PRAY. WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS PRAY IN THE SPIRIT FOR
A MOMENT, JUST PRAY IN TONGUES AND I WANT YOU TO
LISTEN TO YOUR SPIRIT. YOU LISTEN TO GOD IN YOUR HEART
FOR THAT PERSON. AND IN A FEW MOMENTS, YOU'RE GOING TO
GIVE THEM WHATEVER IT IS AFTER PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT
YOU FELT IN YOUR HEART. NOW, WE'RE NOT PROPHESYING
LIFE-ALTERING DECISIONS TO PEOPLE, OKAY? THIS ISN'T
GOING TO BE QUIT YOUR JOB, MOVE TO SINGAPORE, NOTHING
LIKE THAT. THESE ARE JUST ENCOURAGING WORDS. YOU KNOW,
I FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY YOU'VE BEEN DOWN AND
OUT, AND MAYBE YOU'RE NEEDING SOME FINANCES OR
SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SIMPLE WORDS OF EXHORTATION. ALL
RIGHT, SO LET'S ALL PRAY IN THE SPIRIT. I'M GONNA GIVE
YOU ABOUT 40 SECONDS TO JUST LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
FOR THAT PERSON. COME ON. (SPEAKING IN TONGUES) COME
ON, JUST PRAY. LISTEN TO THAT. LISTEN. (SPEAKING IN
TONGUES) ALL RIGHT. NOW, YOU GUYS TAKE TURNS, AND I WANT
YOU TO TAKE JUST ABOUT 30 OR 45 SECONDS, MAYBE I'LL GIVE
YOU A MINUTE. AND ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO START FIRST, AND
YOU'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH THAT PERSON AND JUST SAY, "I
FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY." AND THEN TELL THEM WHAT YOU
FEEL THE LORD WOULD SAY, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO SWITCH,
OKAY? ALL RIGHT, SO WHOEVER HAS CHOSEN TO BE THE FIRST ONE, YOU
GO. TELL THEM. LOOK THEM IN THE EYE AND SAY, "I FEEL LIKE
THE LORD WOULD SAY." I FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
THOSE OF YOU ONLINE CAN JOIN IN AND JUST PRAY FOR THIS
GROUP. PROPHESY IN GENERAL TO PEOPLE THAT MAYBE
ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER IN THE COMMENTS, UPLIFT ONE
ANOTHER. PRAY FOR THIS GROUP. PRAY SOME GENERAL
THINGS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NEED. THAT PROPHETIC HAND AS
WELL. ALRIGHT, NOW SWITCH. OKAY, WHATEVER, WHOEVER'S TALKING,
JUST STOP. STOP. OKAY, THE SPIRIT OF THE PROPHET IS SUBJECT
TO THE PROPHET. SO YOU CAN STOP. COLD TURKEY. AND THEN I
WANT THE NEXT PERSON TO GO. GIVE THEM AMPLE OPPORTUNITY.
SOME OF YOU LONG-WINDED PROPHESIERS. NOW THE OTHER
PERSON, THE LORD, I FEEL LIKE THE LORD WOULD SAY.
(MUSIC)
OKAY, START WRAPPING UP. GET OUT THOSE LAST FEW PROPHETIC
UTTERANCES AS WE LAND THIS PLANE. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY TURN AROUND AND LOOK UP AT ME. PRAISE GOD, TURN
AROUND AND LOOK UP AT ME. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE TROUBLE TURNING
OFF THE RIVER. I GET IT. LOOK AT ALL THESE PROPHETIC
PEOPLE IN HERE. NOW, I'M GOING TO ASK EVERYBODY A
QUESTION. OKAY, I'M GOING TO LOOK AROUND THE ROOM. HOW
MANY OF YOU, SOME OF YOU STILL PROPHESYING. THREE,
TWO, ONE, STOP. ALL RIGHT. COME ON, YOU'RE A GOOD
GROUP. ALL RIGHT. SO, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. HOW MANY
OF YOU, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T THINK THEY CAN
HEAR FROM GOD FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. THEY DON'T THINK THEY
SECOND GUESS THEIR ABILITY OR THEY DON'T THINK THAT
THEY CAN OFFER A PROPHETIC ENCOURAGEMENT, A WORD, AND
IT BE ACCURATE. HOW MANY OF YOU IN THIS ROOM, WHAT THE
PERSON'S, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME ASK THIS, HOW MANY OF YOU
REALLY DIDN'T KNOW THE PERSON YOU PRAYED WITH?
OKAY, THAT'S A TON OF YOU. OKAY, SO THAT EVEN HEIGHTENS
THE ACCURACY OF WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY. SO, HOW MANY
OF YOU, WHEN THAT PERSON SPOKE OVER YOU, THEY SPOKE
SOMETHING THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY TIMELY FOR WHAT
YOU NEEDED RIGHT NOW? COME ON, SEE YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO
HEAR FROM THE LORD. AMEN. GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE
BACK AND A HAND. THIS IS A GOOD PROPHETIC EXERCISE.
PEOPLE USED TO ASK PASTOR HANK AND I, HOW DID WE LEARN
TO PROPHESY? SO, WELL, WE START PRACTICE ON EACH
OTHER. OKAY. WELL, YOU MEAN YOU COULD PROPHESY TO
SOMEBODY YOU KNOW? WELL, YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM WELL, BUT
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW WHAT THEY THOUGHT ALL DAY.
OKAY. YOU DON'T KNOW THINGS. I'VE HAD THINGS THAT WE
PROPHESIED OVER EACH OTHER AND IT WAS JUST TIMELY FOR
THE MOMENT, OR MAYBE IT JUST LIFTED THEIR SPIRIT, RIGHT?
IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, BUT IT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN A WORD OF WISDOM OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT THAT
PERSON NEEDED. AMEN? AMEN. AND SO YOU CAN HEAR FROM GOD
IN A SIMPLE WAY AND LEARN HOW TO PROPHESY. SO THESE
ARE SIMPLE EXERCISES YOU CAN DO. NOW, HUSBANDS AND WIVES,
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO IT. NOW, HERE'S SOMETHING WE
DISCOURAGE IN THE PROPHETIC. YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO A
LOCAL CHURCH, WHEREVER YOU ARE IN YOUR CHURCH, YOU
KNOW, WHAT WE DO HERE AT THE CONFERENCE IS FOR THE
CONFERENCE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN, BUT YOU NEED TO BE
SUBMITTED TO YOUR PASTOR. YOU KNOW, WE DISCOURAGE
PEOPLE GOING OUT AND TRYING TO PROVE THEIR PROPHETIC
GIFTING IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CHURCH WHERE THE
PASTOR WON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, SO DON'T DO THAT. DON'T DO
THAT. I MEAN, YOU CAN ENCOURAGE PEOPLE, BUT I'M
KNOWING PEOPLE THAT THINK, WELL, I'VE GOT A PROPHETIC
CALLING, PASTOR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT, SO I'M JUST
GOING TO GO AROUND AND CORNER PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH.
FIRST OF ALL, USUALLY WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT, THEY TALK
WAY TOO CLOSE TO SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, AND YOU'RE JUST
STANDING IN THE CORNER BY THE BOOK RACK, KIND OF LIKE,
DON'T DO THAT, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. PASTORS DO NOT
LIKE THAT, BECAUSE REMEMBER, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE
THE GOVERNANCE OF THE SHEEP. SO WE GOT TO BE VERY
TASTEFUL AND GRACEFUL. I THINK THE BIBLE SAYS WE
OUGHT TO KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE OURSELVES IN THE HOUSE OF
GOD. SO WE HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED, BUT THEN THE
PASTORS AND THE LEADERS ALSO NEED TO RELEASE THE PEOPLE
AND GIVE THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO MINISTER IN THE RIGHT
SETTINGS. HERE AT LORD OF HOSTS WE HAVE SMALL GROUPS.
WE DO OUR 242 HOME GROUPS AND THEY TRAIN AND WORK WITH
ONE ANOTHER TO PROPHESY AND LEARN HOW TO BE USED OF GOD
EFFECTIVELY. BUT I MEAN, ALL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, THIS
WILL BE THE LAST THING I'LL SAY ON THIS, ALL GIFTS OF
THE SPIRIT CAN BE USED BY ALL BELIEVERS IF WE DO IT
WITH THE RIGHT MANNERS. THAT'S WHY THE APOSTLE PAUL
HAD TO SPEND ALL THOSE CHAPTERS IN 1 CORINTHIANS
TALKING ABOUT THE MANNER OF HOW WE MINISTER. SO IF WE
COULD ALL DO IT RIGHT, IMAGINE HOW MUCH GOOD
MINISTRY WOULD GO FORTH FROM YOU, THE PEOPLE, AND IT
DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO COME FROM THE PLATFORM. AMEN?
AMEN. DID YOU GET SOMETHING OUT OF THAT? NOW, LAST THING
I'LL SAY IS THOSE OF YOU THAT FELT LIKE, "WELL, I'M
NOT SURE WHAT THAT PERSON HAD SAID TO ME MADE SENSE."
OKAY, CAN I TELL YOU HOW MANY PROPHECIES AT THE TIME
DID NOT MAKE SENSE IN OUR LIFE? HAD A PROPHET ONE TIME
TOLD US, "YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO PIONEER AND PASTOR A
LARGE CHURCH." AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE TRAVELING THE
MINISTRY, I THOUGHT, "THIS MAN'S A FALSE PROPHET. HE IS
NOT HEARING FROM GOD." THAT WAS SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE WE
BIRTHED LORD OF HOSTS, AND WE DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD
EVER BE PASTORS. SO I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU THAT HOLD
ON TO THAT WORD TODAY. WHATEVER THAT PERSON SAID,
IF IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE, JUST GO HOME WITH IT. WE
CALL IT PUTTING IT ON THE SHELF, BECAUSE SOMETIMES
WHAT YOU PUT ON A SHELF HAS TO COME OFF AND BE DUSTED A
LITTLE BIT AND PUT BACK. AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU TAKE IT
OFF THE SHELF AND THAT MEANS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO
SOMETHING ELSE WITH IT. SO PUTTING IT ON THE SHELF
DOESN'T MEAN IT GOES AWAY. IT JUST MEANS THAT RIGHT NOW
YOU'VE GOT TO LET GOD MASSAGE IT AND WORK IT.
AMEN? ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU GOT SOMETHING OUT OF
THAT LITTLE PROPHETIC INSTRUCTION? ALL RIGHT, WHY
DON'T WE DO THIS, BECAUSE I WANT TO GET ON, BECAUSE WE
GOT A LOT TO DO AND I WANT TO PRAY FOR THE SICK TODAY,
AND I'M GOING TO PREACH A LITTLE BIT TO YOU. SO TURN
AROUND, LET'S GREET ONE ANOTHER IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. LOVE
ON SOMEBODY. TELL THEM YOU ARE SO EXCITED THAT THEY ARE
HERE. AND ALL OF YOU ONLINE, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY.
GOD BLESS YOU. AND I BELIEVE EVEN IF WE'RE NOT THERE TO LAY
HANDS ON YOU, WE ARE CERTAINLY GOING TO SPEAK THROUGH THAT
CAMERA FOR YOU TO BE HEALED TODAY IN JESUS NAME.
[MUSIC]
- ALL RIGHT, GOOD MORNING. [APPLAUSE] I'M GOING TO CHECK ON
THIS SECTION OVER THERE. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LIKE THE LOUD
ONES. HOW YOU DOING? DID YOU SLEEP? I'M GOING TO CHECK ON
THIS SECTION. YESTERDAY THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T GET MUCH SLEEP.
HOW YOU DOING? DID YOU SLEEP GOOD? YOU DID GOOD. NOW THIS
SECTION OVER HERE, I ASKED YOU YESTERDAY AND I DIDN'T
HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU. NO, I'M TEASING. OKAY, HOW YOU
DOING? ALRIGHT, LET ME HEAR THAT SECTION. HOW'D YOU
SLEEP? OH, LOOK AT THAT. ALRIGHT. JUST A MINUTE, BACK
SECTION. CAN WE HEAR THE BACK SECTION? GENE, THAT'S
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. YEAH, THAT'S WHERE I WOULD BE.
THAT'S WHERE I'D BE. BUT I'D BE THERE WITH SOME ICE CREAM
AND SOME POPCORN. THAT'S WHAT I'D DO. BY THE WAY,
THEY DO HAVE ICE CREAM UPSTAIRS. NO WAY. REALLY? IS
IT TRUE? HOW MANY OF YOU HAD ICE CREAM UPSTAIRS ALREADY?
GENE, I'M GETTING SOME AT THE PARTY OR LUNCHEON. WELL,
ANYWAY, IT'S GOOD TO STAND HERE WITH MY GREAT FRIEND
GENE BAILEY. DON'T YOU LOVE GENE BAILEY AND TERRY? AND
HOW MANY OF YOU LOVE FLASHPOINT? (AUDIENCE
CHEERING) ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA ASK ONE OTHER
QUESTION. I'M GONNA PUT HIM ON THE SPOT. HOW MANY THINK
GENE NEEDS A VACATION? (AUDIENCE CHEERING) I THINK
HE ONLY TOOK LIKE TWO DAYS AND FIVE YEARS. BUT I GOT
BIG PLANS, GENE. AFTER THIS EVENT TOMORROW, GUESS WHAT
BRENDA AND I ARE GOING TO DO? WE GOT THREE GERMAN
SHEPHERDS AND A LITTLE SHIH TZU, SO I BOUGHT THIS, I
BOUGHT THIS PET DEVICE THAT DOGS FETCH, AND IT SAYS IT
SHOOTS UP TO A MILE. DOES THAT SEEM KIND OF
FAR-FETCHED? [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT, I GOT, OH, STOP, STOP,
STOP, STOP. ALL RIGHT. -IT'S TOO EARLY.
- IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT. I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU. HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD THE SPIRIT OF GOD COME ON
YOU, AND YOUR BODY JUST IS LIKE, "DAH, WHAT'S GOING
ON?" I DID NOT SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT. I JUST COULD NOT
SHUT DOWN. SO IF YOU SEE ME NODDING, I'M AGREEING. I'M
NOT SLEEPING ON THE FRONT ROW. ALL RIGHT, BUT HEY, I
WANT TO SAY THIS. WE HAVE SOME EXCITING EVENTS AND I
WANTED GENE TO STAND UP HERE IN A MOMENT BECAUSE WE'RE
GOING TO RECEIVE THE OFFERING. AND I GOT TO TELL
YOU, WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE. I WANT TO KNOCK THIS YEAR'S
BUDGET OUT. LAST YEAR I HAD TO KIND OF GO BACK TO YOU
AND TO YOU THAT ARE WATCHING SAY, "GUYS, WE GOT TO PAY
FOR THIS THING." SO, YOU KNOW, I TRUST THAT IT'S
GOING TO BE COMPLETED, TAKEN CARE OF. BUT ON A DIFFERENT
NOTE, BEFORE GENE COMES, WE HAVE AN EVENT COMING IN
NOVEMBER. AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS MAN THAT I'M ABOUT
TO TALK TO, IF THEY COULD PUT THE EVENT UP, IT'S
OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AT OUR CHURCH, BROTHER COPELAND IS
GOING TO COME AND WE'VE OPENED OUR BUILDING FOR HIM
TO DO A VICTORY CAMPAIGN. AND IF IT WASN'T FOR BROTHER
COPELAND, FIRST OF ALL, HE IMPARTED THINGS WHEN I
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM INTO MY LIFE ON THE COVENANT OF GOD.
BUT LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY WITH
FLASHPOINT. GENE, WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE IF IT
WASN'T FOR THAT. CAN THEY PUT IT UP
ON THE BACK SCREEN? IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO SAY ON THAT? MARK YOUR CALENDARS, THOSE
OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING OMAHA, NEBRASKA AT OUR
TABERNACLE. I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE DATES. IS THAT NOVEMBER?
I WISH THEY HAD IT BACK HERE, BUT MAYBE THEY CAN'T.
YOU GUYS HAVE TO PUT IT BIGGER. THERE IT IS. THANK
YOU. LET'S GIVE A HAND CLAP FOR OUR GUYS. YOU DID GREAT.
THANKS. ALL RIGHT. NOVEMBER 6TH THROUGH THE 8TH, LORD OF
HOST CHURCH, KENNETH COPELAND, JONATHAN
SHUTTLESWORTH, AND KEITH BUTLER. IT'S GOING TO BE A
GREAT TIME. IT IS FREE, CORRECT? CORRECT. SO YOU CAN
REGISTER AND I ENCOURAGE YOU. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE
PLANNING ON COMING TO THAT? WOW. YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S
HONOR GOD AND LET'S HONOR BROTHER COPELAND, BUT LET'S
HONOR WHAT GOD HAS DONE TO RAISE UP A FLASHPOINT
MOMENT. THAT'S RIGHT. AMEN. I AGREE. AMEN. ALL RIGHT,
NOW THE SECOND ONE IS THIS. COMING THIS APRIL, MY WIFE
IS HOSTING ANOTHER WOMEN'S CONFERENCE. HOW MANY OF YOU
WOMEN HAVE BEEN TO ONE? OPENING THE HEAVENS. NOT
OPENING THE HEAVENS. WHAT'S IT CALLED? WOMEN, YOU ARE ANOINTED.
- YOU NEED TO TAKE A NAP. - I KNOW. LAST YEAR I
RENAMED IT. I CALLED IT WOMEN, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
CAUSE LAST YEAR'S CONFERENCE OR THIS YEAR I WENT TO THE
NFL DRAFT, GENE, UP IN GREEN BAY. BUT HERE ARE THE
THINGS. BRENDA, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY ON
THAT? I'M GOING TO HURRY FOR GENE, BUT SAVE THE DATE,
APRIL 17TH THROUGH THE 18TH, 2026, THAT WILL BE ALSO AT
THE TABERNACLE. AND DO THEY JUST NEED TO SAVE THE DATE?
NOW, LET ME JUST SAY THIS, AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
THE LAST ONE REAL QUICK. ARE YOU READY? O-T-H 2026. THERE
IT IS. SEPTEMBER 10TH THROUGH THE 13TH. AND THE
REASON WE ALWAYS DO THE 10TH THROUGH THE 13TH IS BECAUSE
OF TERRY'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 11TH, RIGHT? SO, BUT WE ARE
LINING THAT UP. SAVE THE DATE. NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU,
IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, YOU CAME THROUGH THE LINE AND
FOR THE BOOK SIGNING AND MAN, MANY OF YOU WERE SAYING
THIS IS OUR FIFTH ONE, WHICH MEANS YOU'VE BEEN TO EVERY
ONE OF OPENING THE HEAVENS HERE. IF THAT'S YOU, RAISE
YOUR HAND. WE WANT TO HONOR YOU. WOW! HOW MANY HAVE BEEN
TO FOUR OF THEM? WOW! HOW MANY HAVE BEEN TO THREE?
TWO? ONE? WOW. WOW, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO
ONE? IF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND, I WOULD HAVE PRAYED
FOR YOU AND ON THAT MOMENT RIGHT THERE. ALL RIGHT,
GENE, YOUR BOOK. ANYWAY, IT'S BLANK, GENE. JUST LIKE
MY HOMEWORK FOLDER USED TO ALWAYS BE BLANK. OKAY.
WHERE'S YOUR HOMEWORK? OH, THE DOG ATE IT. ANYWAY.
- WHY AM I UP HERE? [ LAUGHTER ] HE SAYS, "COME ON UP HERE
WITH ME," AND I'M LIKE, "OKAY."
- BECAUSE I'M SO SLEEPY, I JUST NEED SOME HELP TO GET BAILED OUT
HERE IN A MOMENT. ALL RIGHT. SO HERE'S THE LAST POINT. THE
LAST POINT IS THIS, OTH, MANY OF YOU AND YOU THAT ARE
ONLINE YOU OFTEN SAY, "HEY, I WANT TO BE THERE." I'M
GONNA PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR, THESE EVENTS, AND
HERE'S WHY. THE REASON GOD HAS DONE MANY THINGS WITH
BRENDA AND I IS IN THE EARLY YEARS WE WOULD GET THE WORLD
MAP OUT AND THE UNITED STATES MAP EVEN BEFORE WE
HAD MEETINGS AND WE WOULD POINT OUR FINGER AND SAY
MISSOURI WE'RE COMING TO YOU, PENNSYLVANIA WE'RE
COMING TO YOU, THEN WE'D SPEAK THE NATIONS AND SAY
WE'RE COMING TO YOU. YOU NEED TO DO THAT WITH YOUR
CALENDAR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING THAT YOU'RE
DESIRING TO BE HERE. PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR AND SAY I'M
COMING NEXT YEAR AND GOD YOU'RE GONNA PROVIDE THE
WAY. AMEN. ALL RIGHT GENE, THE REASON YOU'RE HERE IS
LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR GENE BAILEY AS HE MINISTERS TO YOU.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) - I... WHAT WAS THAT HANK? I
HAVE A NEW NEW APPRECIATION PASTOR BRENDA FOR YOU
BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WAS YOU. LIKE WHERE IS HE GOING?
WHAT IS HE DOING? NO, THANK YOU. HOW
MANY OF YOU SLEPT LAST NIGHT? WELL I'M GLAD YOU
DID. HOW MANY OF YOU... HOW MANY OF YOU CAME... I MEAN
WELL LET ME ASK YOU THIS WAY. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE
MORNING PEOPLE? YEAH. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS. HOW MANY OF
YOU ARE NOT MORNING PEOPLE BUT YOUR SPOUSE BROUGHT YOU
OR YOU JUST GOT HERE ANYWAY? YEAH. WELL GOD BLESS YOU.
YOU'RE MY PEOPLE. LIKE I SAID I WOULD BE IN THE BACK
RIGHT NOW DOING THIS WITH A CUP OF COFFEE. BUT ANYWAY,
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR
SUPPORTING MY FRIENDS HANK AND BRENDA AND OPENING THE
HEAVENS. BUT YOU KNOW, I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH THE BODY.
AND AS I WAS DRIVING OVER HERE THIS MORNING, I WAS
THINKING ABOUT CHARLIE AND, AND HOW, AND THE FACT PASTOR
HANK AND I WERE SITTING OVER THERE AND HE MENTIONED IT TO
ME, HOW CHARLIE KIRK WOULD SEND YOU TEXT MESSAGES. AND
CHARLIE WAS A BIT ADD, I THINK. AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT
OF TIMES YOU'RE LIKE, OKAY, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND HE
WOULD, HE WOULD SEND ME MESSAGES AND HE WOULD SEND
SCRIPTURES. SO I THOUGHT, WONDER WHAT THE LAST ONE
THAT HE SENT ME WAS. HERE IT IS, COLOSSIANS 3,2, "SET
YOUR MIND ON THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE AND NOT ON THINGS THAT
ARE ON THE EARTH." YEAH. AND, AND LISTEN, WHEN IT
COMES TO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, THERE WAS A CROSSING, YOU
KNOW, PASTOR HANK LAST NIGHT TALKED ABOUT THE LINE IN THE
SAND AND WE'RE CROSSING THAT LINE AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE A
DECISION WHERE YOU'RE GOING FROM HERE AND WHERE WE'RE
GOING TO, WHAT LINE IS IT THAT YOU WON'T CROSS? WHERE
IS YOUR SPIRITUALITY? WHERE IS YOUR CHRISTIANITY? WHERE
IS YOUR CONVICTION? AND I THINK WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING
OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS IS A CONTINUAL REVELATION,
CONTINUAL REVELATION OF WHERE PEOPLE REALLY ARE. AND
WHAT WE WHAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS IF WE ARE
REALLY SETTING OUR MIND ON THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE LIKE
IT WAS IN COLOSSIANS 3 2, THEN IT HAS TO COME OUT IN
YOUR BODY, IN YOUR PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION. AND THEN THE
REASON WE'LL I WON'T ASK THIS QUESTION, BUT I'LL TALK
ABOUT MY WIFE. LIKE I SAID, I WOULD SIT IN THE BACK,
TERRY WOULD BE ON THE FRONT ROW. SO IT'S AMAZING WE EVEN
GOT TOGETHER. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CALL THE
TERRY SPLASH ZONE. DURING PRAISE AND WORSHIP, I MEAN,
TERRY WILL BE PRAISING WORSHIP AND YOU'LL SEE ME
GOING. BUT SHE SETS HER MIND ON THINGS ABOVE. AND IT
MANIFESTS THROUGH HER WORSHIP WHEN SHE'S PRAISING
GOD AND WORSHIPING GOD. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, I WISH,
SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS MORE LIKE THAT. AND I FEEL LIKE,
YOU KNOW, WHY, WHAT IS IT THAT I'M MISSING? BECAUSE I
WANT TO SEE, AND WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME, AND I'M NOT
ASKING YOU DON'T HAVE TO ALL BE LIKE THAT. BUT WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS WHEN WE SET OUR MIND ON
THINGS ABOVE, WE HAVE TO EXECUTE HERE IN THE EARTH.
WHAT HAPPENS ABOVE HAS TO BE EXECUTED BELOW. AND THIS IS
WHY, YOU KNOW, THE OFFERING IS SO IMPORTANT. IT'S NOT
JUST PAYING THE BILL. UNDERSTANDING, YEAH, THERE'S
COST INVOLVED. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. THERE'S
COST INVOLVED IN PUTTING ON AN EVENT LIKE THIS AND
MAKING IT FREE AND MAKING YOU TO BE ABLE TO COME AND
ALL THAT. SO YOU GET THAT. I KNOW YOU DO. BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING SPIRITUAL THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE OF
YOUR OWN SUSTENANCE, WHEN YOU GIVE OF YOUR OWN
FINANCES BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE SETTING YOUR
MIND. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WHAT IS SPIRITUALLY MORE
IMPORTANT, WHAT IS DIVINELY MORE IMPORTANT IS WHERE I'M
GOING TO SET MY MIND. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR
FAMILY THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU TITHE OR THEY THINK
YOU GIVE WAY TOO MUCH? THEY BELIEVE YOU OUGHT TO TIP GOD
INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, GIVE THEM YOUR COINS, YOUR LOOSE
CHANGE. YOU KNOW, THIS IS YOUR YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF
WHO JESUS IS AND WHO GOD IS IN YOUR LIFE MANIFESTS IN
EVERY WAY, WHETHER YOU WANT TO BELIEVE IT OR NOT. SHOW
ME SOMEONE'S CHECKING ACCOUNT REGISTER AND I CAN
TELL YOU WHAT THEIR, WHERE THEIR MOTIVES ARE, WHERE
THEIR HEART IS. AND YOU KNOW THE SCRIPTURE, WHERE YOUR
TREASURE IS, YOUR HEART WILL BE. LISTEN, WE, WE HAVE
CROSSED A LINE AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WE DEIFY CHARLIE
KIRK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING
SPIRITUAL THAT HAPPENED. SOMETHING HAS CHANGED AND I
KNOW WE AND PASTOR HANK'S MESSAGE ON THE SHIFT CHANGE
IS NEVER BEEN MORE, NEVER BEEN MORE ACCURATE, MORE
MORE IMPORTANT THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE COMING, WE
ARE IN A SEASON. I USED TO SAY COMING INTO A SEASON. WE
ARE IN A SEASON WHERE YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE WHICH SIDE OF
THE LINE YOU'RE GOING TO OPERATE ON. YOU CAN NO
LONGER JUST OPERATE ON THE FENCE, 'CAUSE THE DEVIL OWNS
THE FENCE, RIGHT? WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO
OPERATE AND WE HAVE TO SET OUR MIND ON THAT. WHEN YOU
SET YOUR MIND, YOU SET YOUR WALLET. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF
ANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN MATT KUNNEMAN'S TRUCK. AND SO
MATT HAS SET HIS MIND ON THE GREEN BAY PACKERS. I DIDN'T
SAY I DID, I SAID MATT DID. BUT I THOUGHT OF IT AND I
WALK OUT AND IT'S GREEN AND GOLD AND ALL THAT THAT GOES
WITH BEING A PACKER FAN. I'M REALLY TRYING TO NOT GO TOO
FAR. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S
DONE WITH THAT, HIS MIND IS SET, AND YOU SEE IT, IT
MANIFESTS ITSELF IN HIS TRUCK, AND IN HIS LIFE, AND
IN HIS CLOTHING. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) AND
I, NO, THAT'S NOT A BAD COMMENT. Y'ALL TRYING TO GET
ME IN TROUBLE. (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) SO LET'S SET OUR
MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE AND LET'S SET OUR WALLETS ON
THINGS BELOW. BECAUSE WHEN WE SET IT ON ABOVE, THAT
MEANS IT'S GONNA COME OUT BELOW, AMEN?
OKAY, WAIT A MINUTE, AMEN? - AMEN.
- OKAY, THANK YOU, THERE YOU ARE, THERE YOU ARE. ALL
RIGHT, THESE ARE THE WAYS TO GIVE THIS MORNING FOR LORD

THOSE OF YOU WATCHING ON TELEVISION LIKE TO CALL,
855-777-7907. NOW THANK YOU FOR SETTING YOUR MINDS AND
YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR WALLETS ON THINGS ABOVE. AMEN.
YOU'RE READY TO GET AFTER THIS? ALL RIGHT. USHERS, YOU
CAN RECEIVE THE OFFERING IF YOU'RE NOT DOING IT ALREADY.
AND AT THIS TIME, LET ME BRING OUT — WOULD YOU
WELCOME MR. GREEN BAY HIMSELF, MATT KUNNEMAN? COME
ON OUT HERE, MATT. AND HIS BODYGUARD, JONATHAN.
- WE LOVE YOU, PASTOR GENE. EVEN THOUGH I THINK ALL OF
WHAT YOU JUST SAID SOUNDS LIKE A SPIRIT OF BITTERNESS
NEEDS TO BE CAST OUT OF YOU, THAT MICAH PARSONS IS NOT A
DALLAS COWBOY ANYMORE. - NO, HE'S NOT.
- I'M SORRY THAT YOUR TEAM HAS JUST BEEN IRRELEVANT FOR
ALMOST THREE DECADES NOW. [AUDIENCE BOOING] SO, I'M
SORRY THAT YOUR OWNER TRADED MICAH PARSONS TO THE TEAM
THAT HAS BROKEN YOUR CITY'S HEARTS.
- THAT'S RIGHT, IT HAS. - HOW MANY TIMES NOW?
- THAT'S TRUE. IN FACT, PART OF THE TRADE IS YOU GET
JERRY JONES. - YEAH, YEAH, APPARENTLY.
- BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE YOU'RE WEARING SILVER, BLUE,
AND BLACK TODAY. THIS IS, UH, THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY.
- GO BRONCOS. - JOHN, A BRONCO FAN, YEAH,
THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT, TAKE CARE OF HIM.
-THANK YOU, PASTOR GENE. SO, AND ON THAT RECORD OF
THE TRUCK, IT HAS PACKER STICKERS. IT'S MORE OF A
GAME CHANGERS TRUCK, ACTUALLY. I DON'T KNOW IF
THEY HAVE A PICTURE, BUT WE CAN SHOW THIS. I DON'T KNOW
IF, RYAN, IF YOU GUYS PULLED IT UP, BUT IT HAS LIKE
UNDERGLOW. SO, I CAN MAKE IT GREEN, I CAN MAKE IT YELLOW,
I CAN MESS AROUND WITH IT. BUT I WAS LIKE, I GOT TO GO
WITH THE GAME CHANGERS THEME ON THIS AND DO A BLACK AND
GOLD TRUCK. BUT I HAVE PUT GREEN BAY PACKERS STICKERS
ON IT, OF COURSE, WHEN I GO UP TO LAMBEAU. IT'S ONE OF
MY FAVORITE THINGS. SHOW THE WHITE VERSION OF IT TOO.
YEAH, SO YOU CAN DO LIKE A — I LOVE THAT IN THE BACK
ROADS, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WAY WE'RE ANOINTED WHEN DEER TRY
TO RUN ACROSS THE ROAD, RIGHT? SO WE CAN SPOT THEM
FROM MILES AWAY, BUT I LOVE IT. YOU KNOW, I'M A TRUCKER,
AND YOU KNOW, GOD BLESSES YOU WHEN YOU BLESS THE
CHURCH, AMEN? AND WHEN YOU GIVE FIRST, IT'LL BE GIVEN
BACK TO YOU, AND DOUBLE BLESSING, TRIPLE BLESSING,
AND I BELIEVE THAT FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IN THIS
ROOM AND WATCHING ONLINE, AMEN? AMEN. WELL, AS PASTOR
GENE SAID, I HAVE MY BROTHER, THE BODYGUARD, NEXT
TO ME HERE. WE'RE STILL NOT GOING AT IT OR FIGHTING, SO
JUST LETTING YOU GUYS KNOW. ALTHOUGH WE GREW UP MULTIPLE
TIMES IN THE YARD, MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE
WAS, LIKE DAD SAID LAST NIGHT, A HOLE IN THE WALL.
HOW DID WE SETTLE IT? YOU JUST SAID, "GO OUTSIDE AND
SETTLE IT," RIGHT? AND THEN WE HAD TO COME IN, AND SO
THIS IS A MOM THING HERE. SHE USED TO MAKE US NOW, IF
THERE WAS EVER A DISAGREEMENT OR GROWING UP.
WE HAD TO COME IN, JOHN, DO YOU REMEMBER THIS? AND STAND
IN THE LIVING ROOM AND HUG FOR A MINUTE STRAIGHT IN
FRONT OF MOM AND DAD LIKE THIS. LITERALLY JUST LIKE
THIS. COULDN'T SAY A WORD. NOW YOU TWO ARE GOING TO
STAND HERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO HUG. WE'RE COMING IN WITH
BLOODY NOSES. SO, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE LOVE
THAT WE HAVE FOR EACH OTHER REALLY STARTED. I MEAN, WE
WOULD, YOU KNOW, REALLY JUST COME IN AND MOM AND DAD
REALLY TRAINED US ON HOW TO BE BROTHERS IN THE SPIRIT
AND HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACK. AND YOU KNOW, THAT CARRIED
OVER TO HAVING MOM AND DAD'S BACK WITH, LIKE WE SAID LAST
NIGHT, WATCHING THEM TAKE THE HITS, WATCHING THEM
STAND STRONG FOR THIS NATION, STAND STRONG FOR YOU
GUYS, STAND STRONG FOR REALLY WHAT THEY'VE TRIED TO
DO IN SILENCING THE CHURCH. AND I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT
NOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SILENCED. AMEN? JOHN, DO YOU
HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT OUR AMAZING MOTHER BEFORE
SHE COMES UP AND SPEAKS TODAY? YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF
HAVE A JOKE FOR MOM. WE CALL IT MOM'S PERFECT SERVICE.
AND WE JOKE BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW MUCH MOM PUTS IN TO MAKE
THIS SHIP RUN. YOU KNOW, LIKE GROWING UP SEEING THE
BLUE CARPET, THE FOLDABLE CHAIRS, TO NOW BEING HERE IN
A BIG ARENA AND HOW MUCH WORK THEY'VE PUT INTO
GROWING THE MINISTRY. IT TAKES A LOT. IT TAKES A LOT.
YOU KNOW, JUST SEEING LIKE, I WAS EVEN TALKING TO RYAN.
HE RUNS ALL THE CAMERA WORK AND EVERYTHING. AND TO SEE
HOW MUCH IT'S GROWN FROM, I REMEMBER WHEN THE CHURCH GOT
THE FIRST CAMERA LIKE 20 YEARS AGO. AND THAT WAS LIKE
A HUGE DEAL. TO LOOK AT NOW AND HOW MUCH THIS HAS BECOME
LIKE SUCH A BIG PIECE OF PROVIDING MINISTRY TO THE
WORLD AND MY MOM HAS BEEN SUCH A BIG PIECE OF THAT.
AND SO WE'RE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR HER. YES. AND WE'RE
EXCITED TO HEAR HER SPEAK THIS MORNING. DON'T, HEY,
DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF A MOTHER IN SERVICE NOW. I'M
TELLING YOU, DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF MAMA SERVICE. AND
THAT WAS THE THING WE USED TO SAY. WE WOULD BE SITTING
TOGETHER ON THE FRONT ROW. OKAY, WE GOT TO KEEP QUIET
BECAUSE WE CAN'T TICK OFF MOM IN A SERVICE. IT'S ONE
THING TO TICK OFF MOM AT HOME, BUT YOU TICK HER OFF
IN THE CHURCH. OH, NO. THAT'S A MONTH OF HEALING
RIGHT THERE. THAT'S A MONTH OF SPANKINGS RIGHT THERE. SO
DON'T DO THAT. DON'T TAKE A MAMA UP IN SERVICE, AMEN.
BUT WE LOVE OUR MAMA, AND IF WE COULD WELCOME HER TO THE
FRONT AFTER THIS VIDEO. GUYS, GET READY TO HEAR MY
MAMA, OUR MAMA, PASTOR BRENDA KUNNEMAN NEXT. AMEN.
- I DON'T BELIEVE THE LIE THAT THE CHURCH IS THE MOST
DIVIDED PLACE ON A SUNDAY. I BELIEVE THE DEVIL HAS USED
THAT LINE. COME ON, WHEREVER THE HOLY GHOST IS, PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO GATHER. WHEREVER THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS MOVING,
PEOPLE WILL COME. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE BLACK OR BROWN OR
WHITE, AS WHITE AS WHITE, AS WHITE AS PASTOR HANK. I DON'T
CARE HOW WHITE YOU ARE. GOD, IF GOD IS MOVING, PEOPLE WILL COME
FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (APPLAUSE)
WHAT WAS THAT? WHITE, AS WHITE AS THEY COME? IS THAT WHAT IT
IS? WHAT DID I SAY RIGHT THERE? I DON'T KNOW. I'M
LIKE, WOW. GOOD LORD. WELL, YOU KNOW I AM HALF BLACK.
ALL MY CHURCH KNOWS THIS. THEY CHECK MY BIRTH
CERTIFICATE ON A REGULAR BASIS. WELL, PRAISE THE
LORD. BE SEATED AND LET'S GET INTO THE WORD. THANK
YOU, BOYS, AGAIN FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL, THOSE BEAUTIFUL
WORDS. THEY JUST MEAN SO MUCH TO THE HEART OF THIS
MOTHER. AND I LOVE MY KIDS, AND THEY'RE GOOD BOYS. GOD
BLESS YOU GUYS. AMEN. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE
WORD TODAY. I WANT TO TRY TO BE QUICK. I KNOW, TYPICALLY
I'M THE LONG -WINDED PREACHER, BUT I THINK I CAN DO THIS IN
RECORD TIMING, BECAUSE WE WANT TO PRAY FOR EVERYBODY
TODAY. BUT LET'S OPEN OUR BIBLES TO 2 TIMOTHY CHAPTER
3, AND CAN I JUST KIND OF SETTLE INTO THE BENCH AND
TEACH YOU A LITTLE BIT THIS MORNING? I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT RESPONDING IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION, AND I KIND OF
SHIFTED MY MESSAGE A LITTLE BIT IN LIGHT OF WHAT
HAPPENED ON WEDNESDAY. JUST TIMES OF PERSECUTION, NOT
ONLY HOW WE SHOULD RESPOND, BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW
GOD RESPONDS. SO I HAVE, YOU KNOW, FIVE RESPONSES FROM
US, AT LEAST WHAT THEY OUGHT TO BE, AND THEN FIVE
RESPONSES FROM GOD, AND WE SEE THESE THROUGH THE BOOK
OF ACTS. BUT I WANT TO LOOK AT, LET'S START IN 2 TIMOTHY
CHAPTER 3 AND JUST GET A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF BASICALLY
THE TIME AND THE CULTURE THAT WE'RE IN. I MEAN, THIS
WOULD BE A PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE YOU COULD REALLY
READ EVERY DAY AND PROBABLY GLEAN SOMETHING NEW FROM IT,
AMEN? 2 TIMOTHY, I'M READING FROM THE KING JAMES, I'M A
LITTLE OLD SCHOOL, SO YOU ALL CAN JUST FILL IN THE
BLANKS. 2 TIMOTHY 3, VERSE 1, "THIS KNOW ALSO THAT IN
THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS OR DANGEROUS TIMES SHALL COME."
NOW WOULD YOU NOT AGREE THAT WE ARE IN VERY DANGEROUS
TIMES? THE FACT THAT WE HAD TO WALK IN HERE TODAY AND
THIS WEEK WITH METAL DETECTORS, COME ON, TO COME
TO A CHURCH MEETING MEANS THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME KIND
OF DIFFERENCE IN THE DAY THAT WE'RE LIVING IN. AND
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE WEREN'T DANGEROUS TIMES
BEFORE. WE'VE SEEN DANGEROUS TIMES ALL THROUGH HISTORY.
NOW DON'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE WORST OF
ALL TIMES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES IN AMERICA'S HISTORY,
IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, BUT WHAT WE ARE SEEING NOW
THAT IS DIFFERENT IS A CULMINATION IN MASS, IF THAT
MAKES SENSE, OF THE EVIL THAT'S IN THE WORLD. SO
PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME FOR MEN, AND THIS INCLUDES
WOMEN. MEN SHALL BE LOVERS, AND LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY,
SHALL BE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES. NOW, THIS
CULTURE IS VERY SELF
-FOCUSED, AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT SELFIES ON
SOCIAL MEDIA. I'M TALKING ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE LITERALLY
LIVE EVERY DAY THINKING ABOUT NUMBER ONE. THEY'RE
FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS TO THEM. THEY'RE FOCUSED ON HOW
THEY CAN GET AHEAD. THEY'RE FOCUSED ON THE HARDSHIP AND
THE TRAUMA OF THEIR LIFE. THEY'RE AND THEY GO THROUGH
EVERY DAY, NEVER THINKING ABOUT HOW THEIR ACTIONS AND
THEIR MOUTH COME ON SOMEBODY, THEIR MOUTH, WHAT
THEY SAY, WHAT THEY DO, HOW IT IMPACTS ANYONE ELSE.
PEOPLE LIVE ON THE JOBS MANY TIMES FOCUSED ON SELF.
PEOPLE POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA BASED ON SELF. PEOPLE TREAT
THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, THE REASON THAT
DIVORCE RATES ARE SO HIGH IS NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE COULDN'T
LEARN, IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SELFISH. WELL, YOU HURT
MY FEELINGS. AND EVERYTHING HAS BECOME THIS CESSPOOL OF
SELF. AND THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THIS WHOLE PASSAGE
BEGINS WITH THIS. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE OUGHT
TO NOT THINK ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US, BUT WE
OUGHT TO FOCUS ON WHAT ARE THE NEEDS OF OTHERS. AND I
BELIEVE THAT'S MORE THAN JUST FOCUSING ON THE NEEDS
OF OTHERS, MEANING THAT WE, YOU KNOW, GO AND HELP WITH
HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS AND WORK IN A SOUP LINE AND HELP
WITH THE UNDERPRIVILEGED AND IN A VISIBLE WAY SO
EVERYBODY SEES HOW NICE AND CARING WE ARE FOR THE
HOMELESS. AND I MEAN, THOSE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS. I THINK
SOMETIMES IT'S DONE IN SUCH A WAY NOW THAT IT ALMOST
BENDS ON WOKE. LIKE THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU CAN BE A GOOD
CHRISTIAN IS TO GO HELP THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET. NOW
THAT'S IMPORTANT. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT IMPORTANT,
BUT SOMETIMES NOW IN THIS CULTURE, IT'S ALMOST AS A
WAY TO GIVE A PASS TO CERTAIN BEHAVIORS. WE HAVE
TO BE CAREFUL WE DON'T CROSS THE LINE, AND I DON'T WANT
TO GET IN TROUBLE SAYING THAT, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE HE
GETS US MOVEMENT HAS BEEN ALL ABOUT. YOU KNOW, IT'S
LET'S GIVE A PASS TO HOWEVER PEOPLE ARE. WE'RE NOT THERE
TO HEAL THEM AND HELP THEM. WE'RE JUST THERE TO PAT THEM
ON THE BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MISERY, AND I'M NOT
SAYING THAT DOESN'T HAVE ITS PLACE. IT HAS ITS PLACE, BUT
WE'RE ALSO PEOPLE THAT CONDONE THAT THERE ARE
CERTAIN WAYS OF DOING THINGS THAT NEVER COMMAND CHANGE. I
FOUND OUT WHEN I WAS FIRST SAVED THAT THE BIBLE IS A
BOOK THAT CONSTANTLY COMMANDS US TO CHANGE. IT'S
A CONSTANT CHANGING EVERY DAY, AND IT CAN'T BE THE
POINTING OF THE FINGER. IT HAS TO BE RIGHT WITHIN
OURSELVES. SO MEN ARE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES, COVETOUS.
COME ON, ALWAYS NEVER CONTENT. BOASTERS, ALWAYS
GOT TO TALK ABOUT OURSELVES, YOU KNOW. I'LL BE HONEST
WITH YOU, I TOLD SOMEBODY GOING OUT THE ARENA THE
OTHER DAY, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FAMILY PICTURES.
SOMEBODY REMINDED ME ABOUT A FRIEND OF OURS YEARS AND
YEARS AGO WHO DID SOME SELF-PORTRAITS OF OUR
FAMILY. LIKE SHE WAS AN ARTIST AND SHE DREW THESE
PORTRAITS. I'M LIKE, NO. THEY JUST, I DIDN'T LIKE
THEM. I NEVER HUNG THEM. I DIDN'T THINK THEY LOOKED
GOOD, YOU KNOW. AND THEY DID ONE OF MATT. WE DIDN'T HAVE
JOHN THEN, BUT MATT WAS JUST A LITTLE GUY. DO YOU GUYS
REMEMBER THOSE? THEY WERE SELF-PORTRAITS. WELL, THEY
NEVER MADE THE WALL. BUT I SAID, YOU KNOW, IN MY HOUSE,
I'M NOT ONE THAT'S BIG ON SELF-PORTRAITS, BECAUSE WE
SEE OURSELVES ALL THE TIME ONLINE. AND I'M LIKE, YOU
KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT LIKE, HERE'S ME IN THIS
ANGLE. NOW I'M OVER HERE. AND HERE'S ME, AND I, YOU
KNOW, I'M NOT INTO THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIKE TO-
AND IT'S OKAY. FAMILY MEMORIES, I GET ALL THOSE
THINGS. THEY'RE IMPORTANT. BUT BOASTERS, PEOPLE THAT
ALWAYS HAVE TO HERALD THEMSELVES. COME ON, THAT'S
PUFFED UP. IT'S AN ATTITUDE. BLASPHEMERS. MAN, WE'VE SEEN
A LOT OF THAT BLASPHEMY, THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAY
AGAINST JESUS. I CAN'T EVEN PUT WORDS TO IT. YOU CAN'T
EVEN SPEAK OF IT. IT'S SO VILE. DISOBEDIENT TO
PARENTS. COME ON, IF YOU'D IMAGINE IF MORE PEOPLE WOULD
HAVE AN OBEDIENCE TO THEIR PARENTS, HOW MUCH BETTER
SOCIETY WOULD BE. UNTHANKFUL. WE'VE SEEN A LOT
OF THAT, ESPECIALLY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
PEOPLE ARE UNHOLY WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION. WHAT THAT
MEANS IS THEY DON'T HAVE THE NORMAL CAPACITY FOR HUMAN
KINDNESS. THEY'RE CALLOUS. WE SAW THAT WITH THE
ASSASSINATION OF CHARLIE KIRK THIS WEEK. IT'S JUST A
COLD-HEARTED CALLOUSNESS WITHOUT ANY REAL
UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT OF WHAT IT MEANS TO TAKE A
HUMAN LIFE. SO NO NATURAL AFFECTION, WITHOUT NATURAL
AFFECTION OR THE NORMAL CAPACITY THAT GOD PUT IN ALL
OF US TO BE CONSIDERATE OR THOUGHTFUL OR CARING FOR OUR
FELLOW MAN. TRUCE BREAKERS, IN OTHER WORDS, CAN NEVER
KEEP THEIR WORD. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE. FALSE
ACCUSERS, ALWAYS POINTING THE FINGER AT SOMEBODY,
ALWAYS HAVING TO HAVE AN OPINION AND NEVER, NOTHING
IS EVER MY FAULT. CULTURE, OR I CAN'T TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING. I JUST HAVE TO POINT THE
FINGER AT SOMEBODY AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE
ALWAYS AT FAULT. YOU KNOW, CAN I TELL YOU THE MOST
IMPORTANT PRAYER WE COULD ALL PRAY ON ANY GIVEN DAY IS
TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND GO, "GOD, CHANGE ME. HELP ME
TO TALK BETTER. HELP ME TO BEHAVE DIFFERENT. HELP ME TO
ACT BETTER. I'M IN UNBELIEF. HELP MY WORDS, GOD, RATHER
THAN ALWAYS ACCUSE SOMEBODY OR BLAME SOMEBODY FOR WHY
THINGS ARE A CERTAIN WAY. INCONTINENT. NOW, THAT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE WEAR THE PINS. AGAIN, THESE KING
JAMES WORDS ARE KIND OF INTERESTING IN MODERN
CULTURE. IT MEANS TO HAVE A LACK OF SELF -CONTROL.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN
OUTBURST. IF YOU'RE MAD AND YOU'RE ON THE ROAD AND
SOMEBODY CUTS YOU OFF IN TRAFFIC, MAN, YOU'RE JUST
GOING TO LIGHT. AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS
THE POINT OF ROAD RAGE? YOU COULD BE- HAVE YOU
EVER FOUND YOURSELF YELLING IN THE CAR,
"COME ON, LADIES, SPEED UP! IF YOU GO ANY SLOWER, YOU
COULD WALK THE THING." [ LAUGHTER ] EVER FOUND
YOURSELF SAYING THOSE THINGS, AND THEN YOU'RE
LIKE, "BUT THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU. THE ONLY ONE THAT'S
HEARING YOU IS YOU. AND MAYBE THE DEVIL AND GOD,
BUT, YOU KNOW, AND GOD'S LIKE, 'OH, WHATEVER,
PLEASE.'" AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE POINT OF EVEN
GETTING UPSET? THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW. YOU KNOW, THAT
LITTLE OLD LADY IS DRIVING ALONG ON THE ROAD. SHE CAN'T
EVEN SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE HAS NO CLUE THAT
SHE MADE YOU MAD. YOU KNOW, BUT IT'S THIS CULTURE OF CRAZY.
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS - AND SEE, YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST TOLD MYSELF.
I'M LIKE, WHY RAISE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE OVER A FOOL? OKAY?
I MEAN, YEAH, I'VE SAT THERE AND THOUGHT I MUMBLED UNDER
MY BREATH. I DON'T KNOW HOW SOME PEOPLE GET A DRIVER'S
LICENSE, BUT, BUT, BUT YOU KNOW, WHY GET UPSET OVER
THOSE THINGS? SELF-CONTROL. SELF-CONTROL IS A BIG ONE.
IN OTHER WORDS, HUSBANDS AND WIVES, THAT'S A BIG ONE IN
MARRIAGE. LEARNING SOME SELF-CONTROL. THERE'S A LOT
OF POWER TO SHUTTING UP, RIGHT? YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE
TO HAVE THE LAST SAY. NOW, BELIEVE ME, THIS IS A BIG
DEAL. THE KUNNEMANS ARE TALKERS, MAN. PASTOR AND I,
YOU KNOW, I WOULD CALL THEM EPIC ARGUMENTS AT THE
BEGINNING OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. AND THEN WE
REALIZED AS WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OLDER, THIS IS A LOT OF
TROUBLE. I MEAN, BY THE TIME IT'S DONE, YOU'RE UPSET,
YOU'RE CRYING, YOU'RE SWEATING. EVERYBODY MAD. THE
HOUSE IS TENSE. AND THEN WE BEGAN TO REALIZE, YOU KNOW,
IT'S SO MUCH BETTER TO GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. THAT'S
WHY THE BIBLE SAYS, "DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR
WRATH." YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU, AFTER YOU TURN 50, YOU
REALIZE SLEEP IS VALUABLE. IT'S VALUABLE. YOU KNOW,
WHEN WE WERE FIRST MARRIED, WE'D STAY UP UNTIL 2:33 IN
THE MORNING. WE, I MEAN, HAD ALL THIS ENERGY. IN FACT, WE
WERE TALKING LAST NIGHT GOING HOME IN THE CAR BACK
TO THE HOTEL. I SAID, "HONEY, YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE
WERE YOUNG?" I MEAN, WE'RE NOT THAT OLD, BUT YOUNG, 22,
23. I SAID, "REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, WE WOULD GO
TO CHURCH ALL NIGHT. CHURCH WOULD GET OUT AT 10 O'CLOCK,
AND WE'D GO DOWN INTO THE RESTAURANT, AND WE'D BE AT
THAT RESTAURANT TILL 12:30, JUST TALKING. AND THEN WE
WOULD GET BACK UP AT 6 IN THE MORNING AND GO TO THE 8
O'CLOCK PRAYER AT THE CONVENTION, AND WE'D BE
OUT." AND NOW WE'RE ALL LIKE, "WHAT TIME IS
SERVICE?" AND SO, YOU KNOW, SLEEP'S VALUABLE. SO YOU
REALIZE, YOU KNOW, WE COULD STAND UP AND ARGUE THIS OUT,
AND USUALLY 90% OF THE TIME NOBODY'S POINT REALLY GETS
MADE WELL. IN FACT, OKAY, CAN I TELL..
I'M TRYING NOT TO GET OFF TOPIC. BRENDA, STOP. BUT I
HAVE TO TELL, THIS IS A FUNNY ONE. SO I AM AT THE
NAIL SHOP. PASTOR CHRISSY TALKED ME INTO THIS NEW NAIL
PLACE TO GO GET OUR NAILS DONE. AND I'M SITTING IN
THERE AND THIS NEW SHOP HAS THESE SOAP OPERAS GOING.
NOW, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T HEAR EVERYTHING THAT'S
GETTING SAID. AND I NEVER WATCH SOAP OPERAS. I MEAN, I
THINK THEY'RE JUST TERRIBLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M SITTING
THERE WATCHING THIS. YOU KNOW, THEY HAD ONE WHODUNIT
ON DATELINE. I'M LIKE, "I'M LIKE HOPING THE LADY WON'T
GET MY NAIL DONE QUICK ENOUGH BEFORE I FIND OUT
WHO'S THE GUILTY, THE MURDERER WAS." BUT ANYWAY,
THESE SOAPS ARE GOING AND THIS SHOWS THIS MAN AND THIS
WOMAN GETTING IN AN ARGUMENT. I THINK THEY WERE
MARRIED OR SOMETHING. AND THEY GET IN AN ARGUMENT. AND
YOU EVER NOTICE ON TV THAT EVERYBODY THAT ARGUES, THEY
ALL GET TO FINISH THEIR SENTENCE. AND YOU WANT TO,
AND YOU WANT TO, AND YOU ARE, AND YOU SHOULDN'T,
YOU'RE SO SELFISH, AND THE HUSBAND'S JUST STANDING
THERE. AND THEN SHE GETS DONE AND THEN HE GOES. I'M
LIKE, AIN'T NO FIGHT GO ON LIKE THAT. EVERYBODY BE
TALKING OVER EVERYBODY. NOBODY LISTENS, RIGHT?
EVERYBODY'S MAD. SELF-CONTROL. YOU GET THE
PICTURE, RIGHT? SO WE NEED THAT. WE NEED NOT TO BE
INCONTINENT. SO NEXT TIME, REMEMBER, WHEN YOU'RE
FIGHTING, YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR TEMPER. PICTURE A BOX
OF DEPENDS. AND THEN YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT YOU NEED
TO HAVE SOME SELF-CONTROL. HALLELUJAH. FIERCE,
DESPISERS OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD. THE REASON THAT
CHARLIE KIRK WAS GUNNED DOWN WAS NOT JUST BECAUSE HE HAD
SOME POLITICAL BELIEFS, BECAUSE HE WAS A MAN THAT
LOVED JESUS CHRIST AND DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT HE WAS
A CHRISTIAN. COME ON, PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY'RE CHRISTIANS,
BUT HE BOLDLY STOOD FOR THE MORAL VALUE OF GOD'S WORD.
HE STOOD UP FOR THE MORAL PARAMETERS OF THE SCRIPTURE,
AND THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM AROSE. PEOPLE DON'T
WANT TO HEAR THAT. IT'S THE SAME WAY IN THE BIBLE. THE
REASON THAT THE DEMONS WOULD COME BEFORE JESUS WHEN JESUS
SPOKE BOLDLY AND AS A MAN WITH AUTHORITY, HE CAME
BEFORE THE CULTURE TALKING AND SAYING THINGS THE
CULTURE DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR, AND THE BIBLE SAID THEY
WOULD GNASH AT THEIR TEETH. THE BIBLE SAID THEY GNASHED
UPON STEPHEN WHEN THEY MARTYRED HIM BECAUSE THEY
COULD NOT LISTEN. THEY WERE SCREAMING WITH THEIR FINGERS
IN THEIR EARS BECAUSE HE SPOKE MORAL TRUTH. AND SO,
THIS IS THE CONDITION OF OUR CULTURES. , WHICH MEANS
RASH. THAT MEANS RASH DECISIONS, PEOPLE THAT DON'T
THINK AND PRAY BEFORE THEY ACT. HIGH-MINDED, LOVERS OF
PLEASURES. COME ON, SOMEBODY, MORE THAN LOVERS
OF GOD. THAT MEANS THAT THEY LOVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL LIFE
MORE THAN GOD'S. THE REASON A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T TITHE,
TO PASTOR GENE'S POINT EARLIER, IS THEY WOULD
RATHER INVEST IN NATURAL, TEMPORAL THINGS. YOU KNOW,
DON'T GET TO HEAVEN ONE DAY AND BE SORRY FOR WHAT YOU
DIDN'T DO HERE ON THE EARTH. WE GET ONE SHOT AT THIS,
OKAY? CHARLIE KIRK DID NOT KNOW THAT HE WOULD GO TO
HEAVEN ON SEPTEMBER THE 10TH. HE DID NOT KNOW THAT.
AND OF COURSE, WE BELIEVE AND STAND IN FAITH FOR LONG
LIFE, AND WE CAN'T ANSWER ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN
IN THE WORLD. I'LL TALK ABOUT TODAY, BUT THE REALITY
IS, IS HE DID NOT KNOW HIS LIFE WAS GOING TO END. WHAT
HE HAD DONE ON THIS EARTH IS ALL THAT MATTERED ON
WEDNESDAY. WE DON'T GET A ROUND TWO. WHEN WE GET TO
HEAVEN, WE CAN'T SAY, "WELL, YOU KNOW, GOD, I'M SORRY
ABOUT THAT. I SHOULD HAVE, I SHOULD HAVE, I WISH I WOULD
HAVE." WE GET ONE OPPORTUNITY, RIGHT? SO, THIS
IS SO IMPORTANT. HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS BUT
DENYING THE POWER THEREOF, WATCH THIS, FROM THESE TYPES
OF PEOPLE TURN AWAY. IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T BEND WITH
THEM. PASTOR TALKED ABOUT THAT SO MUCH LAST NIGHT. FOR
OF THIS SORT ARE THEY WHICH CREEP INTO HOUSES. NOW I
THOUGHT ABOUT OUR PHONES. YOU KNOW, BACK THEN WHEN YOU
WOULD THINK OF PEOPLE CREEPING INTO HOUSES BY WAY
OF SOMEBODY'S WINDOW, YOU KNOW, MEETING UP WITH THEM
SOMEWHERE. BUT IT SAYS "CREEP INTO HOUSES." I
THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE WAYS THE DEVIL GETS IN
OUR HOUSE IS THROUGH THESE DEVICES. OK, YOU KNOW GOOD
AND WELL YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE READ THAT FEED. YOU
SHOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED AT THAT STORY. YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE SEEN ALL THOSE THINGS ON X. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
TAKEN A CALL FROM THAT PERSON. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
CALLED THAT PERSON. AND SO, IT SAYS, "FOR THESE ARE THE
TYPES THAT CREEP INTO HOMES." COME ON, WE GOT TO
PUT A GUARD AROUND THE PERIMETER OF OUR HOMES BY
WAY OF WHAT COMES IN ON OUR DEVICES, WHETHER IT BE THE
NEWS OR SOCIAL MEDIA. COME ON, THE DEVIL IS ENTERING
OUR HOUSES THROUGH THINGS CALLED SOCIAL MEDIA AND CELL
PHONES, AND MANY OF US ARE NOT RECOGNIZING — COME ON —
THAT THE ENEMY HAS GAINED ACCESS. IT'S LIKE GIVING HIM
THE KEYS TO YOUR HOUSE. OKAY, THERE IS THESE THINGS,
WE TALK ABOUT TELEVISION, BUT IT'S NOT TV ANYMORE.
IT'S THE JUNK THAT COMES THROUGH HERE. OKAY, I MEAN,
IT'S RIDICULOUS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS OPEN. NOW,
FACEBOOK HAS IT WHERE, YOU KNOW, THEY PUT THINGS IN
YOUR FEED YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR. AND SOME OF IT IS VILE
STUFF. YOU WANT MORE OF THIS? AND IF YOU DON'T CATCH
IT SOON ENOUGH, YOUR PAGE WILL BE FLOODED WITH SEWAGE.
AND SO, WE HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL. YOU KNOW, I'M
STARTING TO DO A CHECK ON MYSELF. I'M NOT LOOKING AS
MUCH AT SOCIAL. YOU KNOW, WHEN I'VE CHECKED ON THE
CHARLIE KIRK STUFF, I WOULD TAKE ONE LITTLE QUICK LOOK
AT THE FOX NEWS AND JUST SEE IF THERE WAS ANY KEY UPDATES
ON THE ASSASSIN. BUT I'M TRYING TO BE MORE AND MORE
CAREFUL NOT TO BE SCROLLING DOWN THINGS THAT REALLY
DON'T MATTER. I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO GET TO HEAVEN ONE
DAY. AND HOW MUCH TIME ON SOCIAL? WELL, GOD, YOU KNOW,
I SPENT ALL THIS TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO, I KNOW
THAT'S SOMBER, BUT IT'S TRUE. I MEAN, CREEPING INTO
HOUSES AND LEAD CAPTIVE SILLY WOMEN. I THOUGHT,
"LORD, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?" SILLY WOMEN, PROBABLY
BECAUSE MORE WOMEN ARE ON SOCIAL THAN MEN. LADIES,
LET'S JUST WEAR THAT SHOE. LAYTON WAS SIN, LED AWAY
WITH DIVERSE LUSTS, EVER LEARNING. NOW THIS IS
TALKING TO ME ABOUT, IN MY MIND, ABOUT THE LIBERAL LEFT
AND ALL OF THESE HUMANISTIC INSTITUTIONS, EVER LEARNING
AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.
FOR NOW AS JANICE AND JAMBRES, THESE WERE THE
MAGICIANS IN THE DAYS OF PHARAOH, WITHSTOOD MOSES, SO
DO THESE ALSO RESIST THE TRUTH. OK, THAT'S WHY
CHARLIE KIRK WAS KILLED, BECAUSE THERE WERE PEOPLE
RESISTING THE TRUTH. FROM A MAN THAT JUST SAID, "I WANT
TO HAVE A CONVERSATION. CAN WE HAVE DIALOGUE?" NO, WHEN
BLM WAS MARCHING OUR STREETS IN 2020, THERE WAS NOT GOING
TO BE ANY DIALOGUE. WE WEREN'T GOING TO FIND OUT
WHAT THE COURTS WERE GOING TO SAY ABOUT GEORGE FLOYD'S
DEATH. WE WEREN'T GOING TO WAIT FOR ANY REAL FACTS. NO,
WE WERE JUST GOING TO GET OUT THERE, BE HEADY, HAVE NO
SELF-CONTROL, HAVE NO RASH ABILITY TO THINK THROUGH
ANYTHING, AND JUST TAKE PEOPLE'S WORDS FOR IT, AND
THROW BRICKS THROUGH BUILDINGS, BURN DOWN
PEOPLE'S BUSINESSES. COME ON, DESTROY PEOPLE'S LIVES.
AND THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE MURDERED IN THE STREETS IN
THE NAME OF BLACK LIVES MATTER. THEY RESIST THE
TRUTH. PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION
ABOUT RACISM, AND REALLY BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK
AS, COME ON, CIVILIZED ADULTS, PEOPLE. WHERE DID
THAT GO? REASONABLE SPEAKING. THIS IS THE
CULTURE WE'RE LIVING IN. AM I HELPING YOU THIS MORNING?
THIS IS THE ROOM, THE ATMOSPHERE. REPROBATE
CONCERNING THE FAITH. WE SAW THAT WEDNESDAY. BUT HERE'S
THE GOOD NEWS, THEY'LL PROCEED NO FURTHER. DIVINE
EXTINCTIONS ARE ON THE WAY. AND THEIR FOLLY, THIS IS
WHAT WE'RE SEEING THAT THE PASTOR'S BEEN PROPHESYING,
THEIR FOLLY SHALL BE SEEN OR MANIFEST TO ALL MEN EVEN AS
IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF EGYPT. AND THAT'S THE NARRATIVE
THAT PASTOR HANK HAS BEEN PREACHING, THAT IS IN THE
DAYS OF EGYPT THE WAY IT WAS, SO WE'LL SEE IT AGAIN.
SO ALL OF IT, COME ON SOMEBODY, IS ABOUT TO BE
EXPOSED AND THEY'LL BE LAID BARE BEFORE THE WORLD TO SEE
THE REAL MOTIVE OF THEIR HEART. SO IN THE MIDDLE OF
DANGEROUS TIMES, THERE'S GOOD THINGS. BUT WATCH THIS
NOW, DOWN TO VERSE 10, BUT PAUL GOES ON TO SAY TO YOUNG
PASTOR TIMOTHY, YOU SHOULD HAVE FULLY KNOWN MY
DOCTRINE, MY MANNER OF LIFE, MY PURPOSE, MY FAITH, MY
LONG-SUFFERING CHARITY, PATIENCE, PERSECUTIONS,
SOMEBODY SAY PERSECUTIONS, AFFLICTIONS WHICH CAME UNTO
ME AT ANTIOCH AND ICONIUM AND LYSTRA, WHAT
PERSECUTIONS I ENDURED, BUT OUT OF THEM ALL THE LORD
DELIVERED ME. NOW WE SEE HOW MANY TIMES PAUL WAS
DELIVERED FROM THE HAND, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A
LITTLE BIT MORE TOO, BUT HERE'S THE REAL VERSE I WANT
TO GET TO. "YEA OR YES, ALL," SOMEBODY SAY ALL. "ALL
THAT WILL LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS," AND GODLY
ISN'T JUST PERSONAL HOLINESS, IT'S A GODLY
TESTIMONY, IT'S A GODLY POSITION, IT'S A GODLY STAND
FOR WHAT YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN. OK, IT'S GODLINESS AT
THE JOB, RIGHT? IT'S GODLINESS AMONG YOUR FAMILY
THAT SPEAKS TRUTH, EVEN THOUGH YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS
AND RELATIVES MIGHT HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. ALL THAT
LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION.
AND THIS IS THE PART I WANT TO HONE IN ON. I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT FIVE RESPONSES WE ARE TO HAVE IN TIMES OF
PERSECUTION AND HOW GOD RESPONDS TO THOSE. BUT ALL
THAT LIVE GODLY — NOW THIS IS A NEW TOPIC IN MANY
RESPECTS IN THE UNITED STATES. WE'VE FINALLY BEGUN
OVER THE LAST MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW, FIVE, SIX, EIGHT YEARS
BEGAN TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT THE TOPIC OF PERSECUTION.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES WE'VE BEEN IN SORT OF IN THE
UNITED STATES WHAT I WOULD CALL THE GREEN ZONE OF
PERSECUTION. PERSECUTION IS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY
DISAGREED WITH US AT WORK ON WHETHER THE BIBLE IS TRULY
THE WORD OF GOD. AND WE SEE PERSECUTION IN SUCH A WAY
WHERE THIS HAS NOT BEEN FOR REALLY MOST OF AMERICA'S
HISTORY HAS NOT BEEN A RED ZONE COUNTRY FOR HEAVY
PERSECUTION. BUT I BELIEVE IN THE CHURCH IN THIS
NATION. I BELIEVE WE HAVE RISEN TO THE OCCASION AS
PERSECUTION HAS GROWN. I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY, "OH,
AMERICAN CHRISTIANS, THEY'LL BE THE FIRST TO COWER IF
PERSECUTION COMES ON." I THOUGHT, "NO, THAT'S NOT
TRUE. THEY JUST HAVEN'T SEEN THE SLEEPING GIANT HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO STAND UP BEFORE PERSECUTION." AND I
AM WATCHING THE CHURCH ARISE IN THIS COUNTRY IN WAYS
WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. SO PERSECUTION COMES TO
EVERYONE, AND IT'S SORT OF A NEWER TOPIC, BUT I BELIEVE
WE'VE KIND OF GONE FROM THE GREEN ZONE TO KIND OF THE
YELLOW ZONE OF WHAT I WOULD CALL THE PERSECUTION
TEMPERATURE CHECK IN THIS NATION. THINGS ARE BEGINNING
TO GET HEIGHTENED AND HEATED. THEY'RE ATTACKING
BAKE SHOPS AND FLOWER SHOPS, PEOPLE THAT WON'T MAKE, YOU
KNOW, DECORATIONS FOR A GAY WEDDING. THEY'RE COMING
AGAINST CHURCHES IF THEY DARE SPEAK AGAINST
TRANSGENDERISM. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ORDINANCES IN THIS
VERY CITY THAT YOU CAN'T TELL PEOPLE WHAT BATHROOM TO
USE IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT. SO WE ARE IN A YELLOW ZONE
NOW. SO NOW IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT HOW DID THE EARLY
CHURCH RESPOND IN PERSECUTION. AND BY THE WAY,
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND SOME TIME IN YOUR
BIBLE STUDY TIME STUDYING THE FIRST HALF AND THEN EVEN
THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK OF ACTS. THE PATTERN FOR THE
NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH IS STILL IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
SO LET'S LOOK AT A FEW OF THESE THINGS. THIS IS ALL
FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS, THE EARLY APOSTLES, THEY ARE MY
HEROES. AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU FIVE OF THESE
THINGS ON HOW TO REACT AND RESPOND IN TIMES OF
PERSECUTION. NUMBER ONE, BE RESOLUTE IN KNOWING AND
STANDING FOR THE TRUTH. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW THE
TRUTH, WE HAVE TO STAND FOR THE TRUTH. LET ME READ A
SCRIPTURE TO YOU. THIS IS FROM ACTS 4 WHEN THE
APOSTLES WERE PERSECUTED OVER THE MAN AT THE GATE,
BEAUTIFUL. SAID ACTS 4, 18 THROUGH 20, "AND THEY CALLED
THEM AND COMMANDED THEM." THESE ARE THE GOVERNMENTS OF
THE DAY. "THEY CALLED AND COMMANDED THEM," OR GAVE
THEM A MANDATE YOU COULD SAY, "NOT TO SPEAK AT ALL,
NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT, NOR TEACH IN THE NAME OF JESUS."
NOW, UNDERSTAND FOR A MOMENT THE NARRATIVE OF THE DAY
HERE. THE NARRATIVE OF THAT TIME WAS THAT JESUS NEVER
WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD. MATTHEW 28, YOU CAN GO BACK
AND READ IT. IT SAYS IN MATTHEW THE 28TH CHAPTER
THAT THEY SAID THEY PAID OFF THE, THEY PAID OFF THE
SOLDIERS, AND THEY TOLD THE SOLDIERS, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
JUST GO AND SAY THAT HIS DISCIPLES STOLE THE BODY AT
NIGHT, AND IF THE GOVERNOR QUESTIONS IT, WE'LL GET
BEHIND IT. WE'LL SPREAD THIS." AND THIS IS THE
NARRATIVE THAT HE WAS NEVER RAISED. THE CONSPIRACY IS
THAT THEY MADE IT TO BE CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT JESUS
WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD. AND SO, THEY SAID, "TELL
EVERYBODY, JUST SPREAD THAT AROUND, THAT JESUS NEVER WAS
RAISED, HIS BODY WAS ONLY EVER STOLEN, AND THAT, YOU
KNOW, THEY MADE THIS WHOLE THING UP." AND THE SCRIPTURE
DECLARES, I BELIEVE IT'S LIKE VERSE 19 OR RIGHT IN
THERE, MATTHEW 28, IT SAYS THAT, "AND IT WAS COMMONLY
REPORTED," IN OTHER WORDS, THE MEDIA NARRATIVE OF THAT
TIME WAS THAT JESUS WAS NEVER RAISED. SO IT MAKES
SENSE NOW WHEN YOU GO INTO THE BOOK OF ACTS THAT THE
BELIEF ON THE STREET WAS, RIGHT, THAT THIS WAS ALL A
MADE-UP FAIRY TALE THAT THIS PROPHET FROM GALILEE THAT
WAS KILLED AND TREATED AS A CRIMINAL. IT WAS MADE THAT
HE WAS A CRIMINAL AND THAT HE NEVER RAISED AND THAT
THIS WAS THE COMMON BELIEF ON THE STREET. SO FOR THE
APOSTLES TO STAND AND PREACH IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND
THEN HEAL A MAN AT THE GAY BEAUTIFUL. THIS MAN GETS
HEALED AND THEY'RE LIKE, "WELL, HOW DO WE EXPLAIN
THAT?" WE'RE GOING TO SEE ONE OF THE SIGNS UNDER
PERSECUTION IS AN INCREASE OF SIGNS AND WONDERS AND
MIRACLES. AND SO, THAT WAS THE BELIEF ON THE STREETS,
SO NOW IT MAKES MORE SENSE WHY THEY SAID, "NO, YOU WILL
NOT BE ALLOWED." SO THEY GO FROM, "WELL, WE CAN'T
CONTROL THEM," TO, "WE'LL ASSASSINATE YOU." "ARE YOU
TRACKING WITH ME?" "IF WE CAN'T DEAL WITH WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING, WE WANT TO TAKE YOU OUT." IT'S WHAT WE SAW ON
WEDNESDAY. AND THEY CALLED THEM AND COMMANDED OR
MANDATED THEM — THERE WAS NO LAW IN PLACE, IT WAS A
MANDATE. OKAY, WE LEARNED A LOT FROM 2020 TO 2022. AND
COMMANDED THEM NOT TO SPEAK AT ALL. YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT
ABOUT THIS THING. YOU HAVE TO WALK IN WITH THOSE MASKS
INTO THE GROCERY STORE. REMEMBER THAT? AND THEY'D
HAVE SOMEBODY AT A TABLE SITTING THERE, RIGHT AT THE
FRONT OF THE GROCERY STORE. AND IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A
MASK, THEY WOULD SEND YOU PACKING BACK OUT. AND THEN
YOU THINK, OKAY, WELL, I GOT TO GET FOOD. I MEAN, I'M
GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE STORE. I MEAN, AND THANK GOD
THEY DID DO A LOT OF ONLINE SHOPPING, WHICH I MEAN, I
DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER GONE BACK. I MEAN, THAT WAS THE
BEST THING THAT EVER CAME OUT OF COVID. I'M LIKE,
GLORY BE TO GOD. YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY DELIVERED THE
GROCERIES TO THE FRONT PORCH. I'M LIKE, WHOO, I'M
GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE. BUT YOU KNOW, I
THOUGHT WE HAD TO WALK IN WITH THOSE THINGS. IMAGINE
WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED, AND THEN THEY HAD THOSE DOTS
ON THE AISLE THAT YOU HAD TO GO ONE WAY. DID Y'ALL
REMEMBER THAT? I MEAN, SOME OF US ARE DIRECTIONALLY
DISABLED. I'D BE LIKE HALFWAY DOWN WITH MY
SHOPPING CART HERE, GOING DOWN THE AISLE, AND SOMEBODY
IS — IT'S ALL SUPPOSED TO BE ONE WAY, AND THEN I REALIZE
I PASSED THE NOODLES. AND I'M LIKE, "THE NOODLES ARE
THREE FEET BEHIND ME." "YOU REALLY THINK I'M GOING TO GO
ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE END, CIRCLE ALL THE WAY BACK
AROUND AND NO, I JUST TURN AROUND AND GO BACK TO THE
NOODLES?" AND THEN PEOPLE BE LOOKING AT YOU LIKE
VULTURES. "HOW DARE YOU?" I'M LIKE, "I'M GETTING SOME
NOODLES." AND IT WAS CRAZY. I WAS MIXED UP IN THOSE %
THE ENTIRE TIME THEY DID IT. AND I FINALLY JUST THOUGHT,
I THOUGHT, "FORGET ALL YOU. I'M GOING TO SHOP FOR
SPAGHETTI SAUCE HOWEVER I WANT TO COME GET IT." BUT
THIS FOOLISHNESS, I MEAN, BUT IMAGINE, MY POINT IS, IF
EVERYBODY WOULD HAVE SAID, "WE'RE NOT DOING IT," OKAY,
THERE CAME A POINT. NOW WHEN WE FIRST PUT THE MASK ON,
EVERYBODY THOUGHT, "OKAY, WELL, MAYBE THERE'S SOME
MEDICAL THING. IT'S GOING TO HELP." YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T
KNOW. YOU KNOW, NONE OF US HAVE MEDICAL DEGREES, MOST
OF US. YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT
THING. WE'RE GOOD, DECENT PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT OUR
FELLOW MAN. SO THEN WE THOUGHT WHEN THEY SAID,
"WELL, MASKS ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP." AND, BUT YOU KNOW, WE
ALL GOT A LITTLE SMARTER. YOU KNOW, YOU WALK INTO THAT
SAME GROCERY STORE, YOU SMELL FRIED CHICKEN AT THE
DELI, AND YOU REALIZE THAT FRIED CHICKEN IS COMING
THROUGH THAT MASK. AND THEN YOU'D SEE SOME GUY — SO YOU
KNOW IF FRIED CHICKEN'S COMING IN, STUFF'S GOING
OUT. AND THEN YOU'D SEE SOME DUDE OVER THERE RUBBING HIS
MASK AND THEN TOUCHING THE TOMATOES, AND YOU'RE LIKE,
"HMM, SOMETHING WRONG HERE." AND THEN WHEN THEY STARTED
PRINTING ON THE MASK, THE MASK BOXES, "NOT MEANT TO
PREVENT ANY DISEASE. NOT ABLE." AND THEY STILL MADE
US WEAR IT! COME ON, AT THAT POINT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A REVOLT! HAD ONE OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS THAT'S HERE
AT THIS ARENA SAID, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE MADE IN THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PUT THE MASK ON RELIGIOUSLY, DO IT
ALL THE RIGHT WAY, AND HE SAID WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK
HE GOT COVID. BECAUSE I WORE THE MASK. SO THESE WERE
MANDATES. MANDATES ARE NOT LAWS, PEOPLE. BUT WHAT
HAPPENS IF WE DON'T STAND UP TO THE MANDATE? THAT IS
WRONG, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S UNBIBLICAL. IF WE DON'T
STAND UP TO THE MANDATE, THEY'LL EVENTUALLY LEGISLATE
IT. AND THEN WE'RE FIGHTING WHAT NOW HAS BECOME THE LAW.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEIR HOPE WAS HERE TODAY. ALL RIGHT,
LET ME GO QUICKLY. BUT PETER AND JOHN ANSWERED AND SAID
UNTO THEM, "IS IT RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD TO HEARKEN
TO YOU OR TO GOD YOU DECIDE?" BUT WE, AS FOR US,
ARE NOT GONNA OBEY THAT. WE CANNOT HELP BUT SPEAK THE
THINGS THAT WE HAVE KNOWN, AND YOU COULD TRANSLATE IT
THIS WAY, THAT WE HAVE KNOWN ARE TRUE. COME ON, WE CAN'T
STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE KNOW IS THE TRUTH. SO LET ME
SAY IT LIKE THIS, FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE TO IN THIS
GENERATION KNOW WHAT'S TRUE. KNOW THE TRUTH. WE'RE LIVING
IN A CULTURE NOW — I WAS TALKING WITH PASTOR MATT
ABOUT THIS A LITTLE WHILE AGO — A CULTURE THAT'S FOR
THE MOST PART BIBLICALLY ILLITERATE. BUT WE CAN
CHANGE THAT. MILLENNIALS, GEN ZERS, YOU CAN CHANGE
THAT. IF PEOPLE KNEW THE TRUTH OF THE SCRIPTURE, AND
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST KNOWING THE PROMISES FOR MY
PERSONAL HARDSHIP. I'M TALKING ABOUT KNOWING THE
SCRIPTURE ON WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT MORALS. COME ON, ON
WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE. I
HAVE A LITTLE SHEET OF PAPER THAT I KEEP IN MY BIBLE WITH
THE BASIC TENETS OF THE FAITH. VARY FROM KNOWING
WHAT THE TRUTH IS. THE REASON PASTORS STARTED
MARRYING HOMOSEXUALS IS THEY GOT AWAY FROM THE BASIC
MORAL STANDARDS OF THE BIBLE AND BEGAN TO BEND TO THE
CULTURE, THINKING THEY WERE BEING HELPFUL. KNOW AND
STAND FOR THE TRUTH, AND THAT'S WHAT I LOVED ABOUT
CHARLIE KIRK, HE WOULD STAND FOR THE TRUTH, OKAY, THEY
SHOWED THIS CLIP OF THIS YOUNG WOMAN THAT CAME UP TO
DEBATE HIM AND THEY HAD TO BLUR IT OUT, HER TOP WAS
HALF DOWN, SHE WAS ARGUING WITH HIM, THEY BLURRED IT, I
MEAN SHE DID THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THIS MAN, AND YOU
KNOW, AND THEY DO THAT TO GET A REACTION, RIGHT,
THINKING WELL YOU'RE GOING TO GET INTIMIDATED, OH MY
GOSH I SAW A WOMAN'S BREASTS I GOTTA GO, AND HE JUST
STOOD THERE LIKE IT WASN'T HAPPENING. HE WAS RESOLUTE
ON STANDING FOR THE TRUTH AND THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE
DIDN'T LIKE. SO IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION WE TAKE OUR
EXAMPLE FROM THE EARLY APOSTLES THAT THEY STOOD FOR
THE TRUTH AND MORAL TRUTH, FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE. I WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU, GET TO KNOW, THAT'S WHY I SAY READ THE BOOK
OF ACTS. GET TO KNOW THE BASIC TENETS OF THE FAITH. SO THAT
WHEN SOMEBODY CHALLENGES WHAT YOU BELIEVE, THE BIBLE SAYS WE
OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE AN ANSWER FOR THE HOPE THAT'S
WITHIN US. SOMEBODY SAID AT PASTOR GENE ON FLASHPOINT
THAT WE NEED, MAYBE IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS LANCE WHO SAID, "WE
NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE A CHART, THAT CAN PRESENT APOLOGETICS."
BY THE WAY, APOLOGETICS DOESN'T MEAN I'M APOLOGIZING. IT
MEANS I'M GIVING A VALUABLE FACTUAL ARGUMENT THAT I CAN
SHOW YOU FACTUAL TRUTH, NOT ONLY FROM SCRIPTURE, BUT
JUST THE BASIC LOGIC OF TRUTH THAT I CAN PRESENT IT.
OK? HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE BIG TEXTBOOK, "EVIDENCE
DEMANDS A VERDICT"? JOSH MCDOWELL WROTE THAT. YOU
OUGHT TO READ THAT. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU. I MEAN,
IT'S A BIG READ, BUT YOU OUGHT TO LOOK INTO IT. IT'LL
GRAB YOU IN FROM THE BEGINNING. THAT WE KNOW WHY
WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE, AND WE'LL NEVER ERR FROM IT.
THE REASON PEOPLE WILL BE DECEIVED IN THE LAST DAYS IS
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR TRUTH.
AMEN. ALL RIGHT, NUMBER TWO, IF YOU WANT TO STAND IN
TIMES OF PERSECUTION, STAY CLOSE TO THE FAMILY OF GOD.
ACTS 4:23, "AND BEING LET GO," SOMEBODY QUOTED THAT
THIS WEEK AS WELL, "BEING LET GO, THEY WENT TO THEIR
OWN COMPANY." SOMEBODY SAY "OWN COMPANY." "AND THEY
REPORTED ALL THAT THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE ELDERS HAD
SAID UNTO THEM." IN OTHER WORDS, THEY HAD TO GET WITH
PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE CONFERENCES LIKE THIS ARE SO
IMPORTANT. AND ALL OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE,
MANY OF OUR E-MEMBERS AROUND THE WORLD, SOME OF YOU EVEN
CAME UP IN THE BOOK TABLE, SAID WE GO TO OUR OWN CHURCH
ON A SUNDAY AND THEN WE TUNE IN TO LORD OF HOSTS, IS
GETTING AROUND PEOPLE OF LIKE-MINDED FAITH. WE NEED
EACH OTHER. OK, WE MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE. PEOPLE MIGHT
IRRITATE YOU, RIGHT? SOMETIMES THAT'S THE WAY
LIFE IS. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS SOME GOOFY THINGS
THAT GO ON IN CHURCHES. THAT'S JUST PART OF BEING
PEOPLE, BUT WE NEED EACH OTHER. AND BEING LET GO,
THEY WENT TO THEIR OWN COMPANY. HEBREWS 10:25, "IN
THE LAST DAYS, DON'T FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES
TOGETHER, AS THE HABIT OF SOME IS, BUT EXHORTING ONE
ANOTHER, AND DO IT EVEN MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY
APPROACHING." COME ON, THAT WHOLE PASSAGE IN HEBREWS 10
IS ABOUT ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER TO FINISH OUR RACE.
YOU KNOW, I HEARD A STORY ONE TIME, I DON'T REMEMBER
IF I READ THIS IN FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS, BUT BY THE WAY,
YOU OUGHT TO READ THAT BOOK TOO. IT WAS SOMEWHERE, AND
ANYWAY, IT WAS A STORY OF THIS LADY WHO HAD BEEN IN
PRISON, IT WAS IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY, SHE'D BEEN IN
PRISON FOR HER FAITH, AND PUT IN THIS PRISON, THEY HAD
THIS OUTDOOR PRISON AREA BEHIND THESE BIG BARBED WIRE
FENCES WHERE THEY LET SOME OF THE PRISONERS OUT. AND IN
OTHER COUNTRIES, THEY DON'T HAVE LIKE CUSHY PRISONS.
THESE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE IN THERE WITH RATS
AND, YOU KNOW, FILTH AND GIVING CHICKEN BONES FOR
SCRAPS AND ALL OF THESE THINGS. AND SHE'S IN THIS
PRISON. WELL, THEY HAD A SPACE WHERE FAMILY MEMBERS
COULD COME. THEY DIDN'T LIKE SIT DOWN AND TALK TO THEIR
FAMILY MEMBERS THROUGH SOME JAIL SPEAKER. THEY WERE ABLE
TO COME VIEW THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS OUT IN THE OPEN YARD
FROM A DISTANCE. AND THIS WOMAN'S HUSBAND SEES HER OUT
THERE, AND SHE'S FRAIL, AND HE KNOWS THAT SHE'S BEEN
TREATED POORLY, BUT SHE'S IN THERE FOR HER STAND FOR THE
GOSPEL AND HER STAND FOR JESUS CHRIST, AND HE'S
CRYING, "HONEY, HONEY," AND HE'S CRYING, "I'M SO SORRY."
AND SHE POINTED HER FINGER UP. SHE SAID, "YOU STOP IT
RIGHT NOW. IT IS A PRIVILEGE FOR ME TO BE HERE. I AM HERE
ON THE BEHALF AS AN AMBASSADOR OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST. WE SHOULD BE REJOICING AS THE EARLY
APOSTLES THAT WE GET MADE TO BE MARTYRS AND OUTCASTS FOR
THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. PASTOR SHANE AND CHRISSY
REMINDED ME THEY WERE TALKING TO THEIR TWO
DAUGHTERS ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO PUT YOUR LIFE ON
THE LINE FOR THE GOSPEL. AND YOU KNOW, PASTOR CHRISSY,
SHE'S A LITTLE LIKE ME. SHE'S VERY COMPASSIONATE
WITH HER GIRLS. SHE'S FINALLY LIKE, I DON'T KNOW
IF IT WAS KATIE OR ALI OR WHICH ONE OF THEM SAID IT.
WAS IT KATIE? HELP ME IF I SAID IT WRONG. BUT SHE GOES,
"WELL, KATIE, SOMETIMES THAT'S JUST WHAT IT MEANS.
IF YOU HAVE TO DIE FOR JESUS, IT IS WHAT IT IS. YOU
GO TO HEAVEN. AMEN." [LAUGHTER] OKAY, MOM. I
GUESS THAT'S HOW IT GOES. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S
AN ELEMENT WE GOT TO GET SOME TOUGHNESS. WE GOT TO
GROW A BACKBONE. WE GOT TO REALIZE, COME ON, CHARLIE
KIRK IS NOT SORRY HE'S IN HEAVEN TODAY. HE IS IN
HEAVEN. HE'S IN A BETTER PLACE. YEAH, WE MOURN FOR
PEOPLE HERE ON THE EARTH. BUT COME ON, SOMEBODY, LIFE
IS SHORT. WE LIVE 70, 80, 90 YEARS AND IT'S ALL OVER.
SOME OF US ARE ALREADY HALFWAY OR BETTER THERE AND
WE'RE GOING TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE GOING, "YOU KNOW
WHAT? ALL THE THINGS WE MADE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT ON
THIS EARTH ARE NOT GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL. JESUS IS
GOING TO WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM OUR EYES." THAT'S WHY I
DON'T MESS WITH YOUR SALVATION. NOBODY WANTS TO
WAKE UP IN HELL. WE NEED EACH OTHER. THAT LITTLE LADY
STOOD UP TO HER HUSBAND. SHE SAID, "YOU GO HOME SMILING.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE MASTER." I THOUGHT, "GOD,
MAKE ME LIKE THAT." THREE, PRAY FOR SUPERNATURAL
BOLDNESS, ACTS 4:29-31, IF THEY COULD PUT THAT UP. ACTS
4:29-31. YOU COULD GO BACK TO 29, THANK YOU. "AND NOW,
LORD, BEHOLD THEIR THREATENINGS, AND GRANT,"
YOU CAN PRAY FOR BOLDNESS, "GRANT UNTO THY SERVANTS
THAT WITH ALL BOLDNESS THEY MAY SPEAK THY WORD. BY
STRETCHING FORTH YOUR HAND TO HEAL, THAT SIGNS AND
WONDERS WOULD BE DONE BY THE NAME OF THE HOLY CHILD
JESUS." KEEP GOING. "AND WHEN THEY HAD PRAYED, THE
PLACE WAS SHAKEN WHERE THEY WERE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER, AND
THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST." AND WHAT?
"SPOKE THE WORD WITH BOLDNESS." EVERY DAY IN YOUR
PRAYER TIME YOU OUGHT TO SAY, "GOD, GRANT ME SOME
BOLDNESS. AND BY THE WAY, BOLDNESS DOESN'T JUST MEAN
BE SNARKY AND MEAN AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN WE'RE ALL
DIFFERENT. I GET THAT. BUT WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
SOME CONFIDENCE THAT WHEN WE ARE PRESSED FOR SOMETHING,
COME ON, IF WE ARE HAVING TO SIT THERE ON OUR WORKPLACE
AND HOLD UP DEI AND HOMOSEXUALITY AND GIVE PLACE
IN THE WORKPLACE, THEN MAYBE WE HAVE OUR BOLDNESS MEANS
TO BE, "I CAN'T WORK HERE. WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M
GOING TO PAY MY MORTGAGE. I DON'T EITHER, BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT I BELIEVE? I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU." ONE OF GOD'S
RESPONSES IS IN THE EARLY CHURCH WHEN THEY PUT THEIR
LIFE ON THE LINE FOR THE GOSPEL. THE BIBLE SAID NOT
ONE OF THEM LACKED. AND WHEN WE — COME ON, I'VE SEEN IT
WHERE EVERY TIME WE HAVE HAD TO PUT OUR NOSE OUT THERE,
GOD HAS BLESSED US. SO, PRAY FOR BOLDNESS. IN FACT,
FATHER, I PRAY RIGHT NOW FOR EVERY PERSON UNDER THE SOUND
OF MY VOICE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A NEW SUPERNATURAL HOLY
BOLDNESS TO STAND FOR YOUR WORD AND MORAL TRUTH. THE
CONFIDENCE THAT EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO MAKE SACRIFICES,
THAT FATHER, THEY WILL BE ABLE IN THEIR SPHERE OF
INFLUENCE TO BE BOLD AND TRUST YOU IN JESUS' NAME.
AMEN. SO THE KEY IS THEY ASKED FOR BOLDNESS, THEY
ASKED FOR MIRACLES IN THIS PASSAGE, BUT THEN THEY SPOKE
WITH BOLDNESS. THE PRAYER TO ASK FOR BOLDNESS WAS
ANSWERED. THIS IS IMPORTANT, I'VE ALREADY KIND OF TOUCHED
ON IT, IS STAY RIGHT WITH GOD. YOU KNOW THE FUN THING
ABOUT THE BOOK OF ACTS IS ALL THESE MIRACLES AND
BOLDNESS AND THINGS THAT HAPPEN, AND THEN GOD PLANTS
THE STORY OF ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA IN THERE. AND THEY
LIED TO THE HOLY GHOST. BY THE WAY, LYING IS ONE OF THE
MOST EGREGIOUS SINS OF SCRIPTURE. LISTED IN THE
BOOK OF REVELATION, THAT THOSE WHO HABITUALLY LIE
WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. ALL LIARS WILL
HAVE THEIR PART, REVELATION 8, IN THE LAKE THAT BURNS
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE SO SOBERING
ABOUT IT THIS MORNING, I'M JUST SAYING THESE ARE
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW. ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA, THAT
STORY IS IN THERE FOR A REASON. THE BIBLE SAID AT
THAT POINT GREAT FEAR CAME ON ALL THE CHURCH AFTER IT
HAPPENED AND PEOPLE GOT THEIR LIFE RIGHT. AMEN. IT'S
NOT ABOUT JUST BEING RELIGIOUS, BUT IT'S ABOUT
BEING OBEDIENT TO GOD. HEBREWS 3:13, "BUT EXHORT
ONE ANOTHER." TOUCH YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY, "I'M
EXHORTING YOU RIGHT NOW." DO IT EVERY DAY, COME ON, LEST
ANY OF YOU BECOME HARDENED THROUGH THE DECEITFULNESS OF
SIN. COME ON, SIN IS A DECEIVER. YOU DON'T THINK
YOU'RE DOING ANYTHING WRONG. THAT'S THE WAY SIN IS. YOU
THINK, "OH NO, I'M ALRIGHT." YOU KNOW, THE DEVIL DOESN'T
JUST SHOW UP AND HOLD UP A PITCHFORK, KNOCK ON YOUR
DOORBELL AND YOUR RING DOORBELL AND STAND OUT THERE
WITH POINTY HORNS AND SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT? COMMIT
ADULTERY." MOST OF THEM SAY, "GET OUT OF HERE. HOW DARE
YOU?" NO, HE SNEAKS AND CREEPS AND WORKS, AND WORKS
ANGLES WITH THINGS, AND LOOKS FOR LITTLE WAYS TO
SNEAK IN. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THAT MAY BE THE
TEMPTATION. I'M SAYING, BUT ANYTHING, MOST PEOPLE THAT
FALL INTO THINGS THINK THEY WERE DOING THE RIGHT THING
AT THE TIME. SO EXHORT ONE ANOTHER DAILY. YOU KNOW IF A
FELLOW CHRISTIAN COMES UP TO YOU AND SAYS, "BUCK UP,
BUTTERCUP." DON'T GET MAD AT THEM, WELL THEY WERE JUST
INSENSITIVE. MAYBE THEY WERE, YOU KNOW. I MEAN TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU, THE BOYS TALKING ABOUT MAMA'S
DISCIPLINE AND SAYING, "OH, HUG YOURSELF." YOU KNOW, I
MEAN MY DAD, OKAY, I'VE TOLD THIS STORY, LORD KNOWS IT,
BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVEN'T HEARD IT. SO PASTOR HANK AND
I ARE HAVING ONE OF THESE EPIC EARLY MARITAL FIGHTS.
MATTHEW WAS A LITTLE BABY AT THE TIME. PASTOR CHRIS, YOU
PROBABLY REMEMBER THIS. DID YOU STAY WITH US WHEN THIS
HAPPENED? I MEAN, WE WERE FIGHTING. AND THEN, YOU
KNOW, AND IN THE KUNNEMANS, YOU CANNOT FINISH A
SENTENCE. WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AREA OF OUR LIFE. AND
SO, LIKE, LEARN TO SHUT UP, PEOPLE. SO WE WERE ARGUING.
I THOUGHT, I'M GOING TO DO WHAT ANY GOOD DAUGHTER DOES.
I'M LIKE, I'M CALLING MY DAD. NOW THEY LIVED ABOUT
THREE HOURS AWAY, SO I COULDN'T RUN HOME EASILY. SO
I CALLED HIM. AND I'M LIKE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, AND I DON'T KNOW
IF HANK WAS HOLLERING IN THE BACK OR WHAT. IT WAS CHAOS.
OH, YOU WAS THE PEACEFUL ONE. YEAH, I LISTENED TO HIM
ON THERE IN HIS BLUE SHIRT. MY VOICE IS HOARSE, I'D WOO
WITH YOU. ALL RIGHT, BUT HERE'S THE THING. SO MY DAD
GOES, "GET YOUR BIBLES." I'M LIKE, "I'M NOT GETTING MY,
I'M YOUR DAUGHTER, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS?"
"GET YOUR BIBLES, HANK, GET YOUR BIBLE." AND NOW, WE
DIDN'T HAVE SPEAKERPHONE IN THOSE DAYS, SO HE, WE'RE ON
THE PHONE WITH THE CORD, THE WHOLE THING. WE'RE ON THE
PHONE, HE GETS ME ON FIRST. GET YOUR BIBLE, OPEN TO
EPHESIANS 4, 32, AND READ IT OUT LOUD. OK, CAN I TELL YOU
THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS READ A BIBLE VERSE OUT
LOUD WHEN YOU'RE UPSET. BUT THIS IS HOW MY DAD WAS, AND
THIS IS HOW SOMETIMES WE'VE GOT TO BE. AND IT SAYS IN
THE SCRIPTURE, IT SAYS, HE SAID, "NOW READ IT OUT
LOUD." I SAID, "WELL, I'M READING IT. I'M TRYING TO DO
IT QUIET UNDER MY BREATH." HE SAID, "NO, NO, NO, NO.
READ IT OUT WHERE I CAN HEAR IT." AND IT SAYS, "BE YE
KIND ONE TO ANOTHER, TENDERHEARTED." I MEAN IT'S
LIKE DAGGERS GOING IN. "TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING
ONE ANOTHER." I MEAN THIS IS A VERSE, IF YOU ARE IN A BAD
SPIRIT, THIS VERSE WILL JUST RUB YOUR NOSE LIKE IT'S IN
DOG DOO-DOO. "TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER." AND
I'M READING THIS OUT LOUD AND HANK'S IN THE BACK.
"FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER." AND WATCH THIS, "EVEN AS GOD FOR
CHRIST'S SAKE HAS FORGIVEN YOU." SO I READ IT OUT LOUD.
SILENCE, TEARS START TO DRY. GET HANK ON THE PHONE.
"HANK, TURN TO EPHESIANS 4, VERSE 32." AND THEN I HEAR A
READING, AND WE BOTH READ THAT, AND THE REALITY WAS WE
REALIZED WE WERE IN DISOBEDIENCE TO THE WORD.
SOMETIMES THE WORD WILL COME AT YOU HARSH. SOME — IT'LL
COME, BUT IT MAY SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM HELL. IT MAY SAVE
YOU FROM THE DIVORCE COURT. IT MAY SAVE YOU FROM CUTTING
YOUR LIFE EARLY. COME ON, YOUNG PEOPLE. YOUR PARENTS
TELL YOU STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING. IT'S BECAUSE THEY
DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE EARLY. OKAY, IF THEY TELL YOU DON'T
SPEED, RACE AROUND CARS. YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW,
THESE PEOPLE DIE I, I, I'VE WATCHED HOW MANY TIMES ON
THE INTERSTATE SOME GUY IN A, IN A MOTORCYCLE WITH NO
HELMET GOES SPEEDING THROUGH TRAFFIC AT 95 MILES AN HOUR
AND I THINK, "MAN, I HOPE THAT GUY MAKES IT WHEREVER
HE'S GOING." SO SOMETIMES THE WORD WILL COME HARSH,
BUT STAY RIGHT WITH GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT "HE THAT
COVERS HIS SIN WILL NOT PROSPER, BUT HE THAT
CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM WILL HAVE MERCY." SO WE'VE
GOT TO ALL WORK ON THAT, RIGHT? LAST ONE, PRAY FOR
SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION. ACTS 12, 5, "PRAYER WITHOUT
CEASING WAS MADE FOR PETER." NOW I DON'T KNOW WHY WHAT
HAPPENED WITH JAMES HAPPENED WITH JAMES. WE DON'T KNOW
WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE TAKEN OUT EARLY. IF YOU DIDN'T GET
A CHANCE TO HEAR MY PREACHING FOR THREE WEEKS ON
THE BOOK OF JOB, THAT THERE ARE THINGS GOD WILL NOT GIVE
US THE ANSWERS TO UNTIL WE GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
ETERNITY. I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE GET A DIVINE
MIRACLE AND OTHER PEOPLE GO ON TO HEAVEN BEFORE THEIR
TIME. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. JOB, GOD
NEVER ONCE EXPLAINED TO JOB WHY HE WENT THROUGH WHAT HE
WENT THROUGH. NOT ONE TIME. HE NEVER SAID IT. NOW JOB
NOW KNOWS IS THE EXAMPLE. BECAUSE PAUL MENTIONS JOB
LATER, REMEMBER JOB? HE WAS THE EXAMPLE OF HOW TO
RESPOND WHEN YOU GO THROUGH PERSONAL TRAGEDY AND HARD
TIMES. HE WAS THAT EXAMPLE. NOW JOB DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS
HUM—MANKIND'S EXAMPLE AT THE TIME. HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
BUT GOD, NOW HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE, HE HAS ALL THE
ANSWERS. HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT HE DIDN'T HEAR. SO JUST
REALIZE, WE HAVE TO TRUST GOD, BUT WE CAN PRAY FOR
SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION. THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID IT LIKE
THIS, "FINALLY, MY BRETHREN," 2 THESSALONIANS
3, 1 THROUGH 3, "FINALLY, MY BRETHREN, PRAY FOR US THAT
THE WORD OF THE LORD WILL HAVE FREE COURSE AND BE
GLORIFIED, EVEN AS IT IS WITH YOU, AND THAT WE MAY BE
DELIVERED FROM UNREASONABLE AND WICKED MEN." I DON'T
KNOW WHY CHARLIE KIRK WAS TAKEN OUT, I DON'T KNOW. NOW
THERE'S SOME PROPHETIC THINGS WE'VE EVEN HEARD AT
THIS CONFERENCE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY HIM, WHY'D THAT
HAPPEN, I DON'T KNOW. BUT ALL I KNOW IS GOD DELIVERED
PAUL FROM MANY THINGS, AND HE SAID WE COULD BE
DELIVERED FROM THINGS. SO WE BELIEVE FOR DELIVERANCE, AND
WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WE PUT IN THE HANDS OF THE
MASTER. WE WEREN'T THERE WHEN HE FORMED THE WORLDS,
AS HE SAID TO JOB. THAT WE WOULD BE DELIVERED FROM
UNREASONABLE AND WICKED MEN, FOR THE LORD IS FAITHFUL,
WHO SHALL ESTABLISH YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM EVIL. NOW LET
ME VERY QUICKLY, AND THEN I'M GOING TO TAKE ABOUT TWO
OR THREE MORE MINUTES, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN TO
PRAY FOR PEOPLE. ARE YOU GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF
THIS TEACHING THIS MORNING? SO, WHAT IS GOD'S RESPONSES
IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION? I'M GOING TO HAVE THE MINISTERS
BE PREPARED. IN A FEW MINUTES, THEY'RE GOING TO
BRING THE PRAYER CLOTHS. SO, JUST GIVE ME ABOUT TWO OR
THREE MORE MINUTES, GUYS. GOD'S RESPONSE IN TIMES OF
PERSECUTION. WE SEE THIS ALL THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS.
NUMBER ONE, GOD BROUGHT A DIVINE UNITY AMONG THE
SAINTS. THE BIBLE SAYS IN EPHESIANS 4:11 THAT GOD
BROUGHT THE GIFTINGS OF APOSTLE, PROPHET,
EVANGELIST, PASTORS AND TEACHERS FOR THE PERFECTING
OF THE SAINTS, FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, TO THE
EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. SO WE ALL COME,
WATCH THIS, TO THE UNITY OF OUR FAITH. IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT THE CHURCH COULD ACTUALLY BE ONE? I BELIEVE
SO. ACTS 4:32, THEY WERE OF ONE HEART AND ONE SOUL. THEY
WERE ALL OF ONE ACCORD. I BELIEVE UPON THE HEELS OF
THE PASSING OF CHARLIE KIRK, WE'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS A
UNITY THAT'S GOING TO COME TO THE BODY OF CHRIST LIKE
WE HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE. COME ON, WHERE PEOPLE CAN
BAND TOGETHER. I JUST WATCHED ON YOUTUBE, I FORGET
HIS NAME, SOME YOUNG MILLENNIAL OR SOMETHING
ABOUT CHARLIE'S AGE WHO THEY SAID WAS ONE OF HIS GREATEST
OPPONENTS ON THERE, JUST FOUGHT CHARLIE, FOUGHT
CHARLIE, ABSOLUTELY LIBERAL LEFTIST YOUNG MAN. HE WAS
LIKE THE CHARLIE KIRK OF THE LEFT. AND ON THERE WEEPING
THAT CHARLIE HAD BEEN KILLED, LIKE IT SHOULDN'T
COME TO THIS. I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE A
UNITING TOGETHER. HALLELUJAH. GOD BROUGHT
SPECIAL GRACE. COME ON, WHEN YOU GO THROUGH SOMETHING,
KNOW THERE'S GRACE. ACTS 4:33, "BUT WITH GREAT POWER
HE GAVE THE APOSTLES WITNESS OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE
LORD JESUS, AND GREAT GRACE WAS UPON THEM ALL." JUST
LIKE THERE WAS A GREAT GRACE FOR THAT WOMAN IN THAT
PRISON YARD. THERE'S PEACE AVAILABLE THAT WE CAN'T
ALWAYS UNDERSTAND. I SAW ERICA KIRK'S — HOW MANY OF
YOU WATCHED HER STATEMENT? AND I THOUGHT I COULD SEE,
AND I KNOW SHE'S GOT SOME DAYS AHEAD OF HER TO FIGURE
OUT HER CHILDREN AND A LOT OF THINGS THAT SHE'S GOING
TO HAVE TO WALK THROUGH IN HER EMOTIONS AND DEALING
WITH GRIEF AND SORROW. BUT I SAW THAT GRACE. THERE WAS A
GRACE THAT WAS ARISING, AND I WAS AMAZED. I THOUGHT, SHE
STOOD UP AND SAID, "WHAT CHARLIE BEGAN SHALL NOT
DIE." AND I THOUGHT, "LORD, IF SHE CAN SAY THAT, WHAT'S
OUR EXCUSE?" NUMBER THREE, NO ONE LACKED. I ALREADY
TALKED ABOUT THAT. OKAY, WHEN YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP
SOMETHING FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM, KNOW THAT GOD
WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. ACTS 4:34, "NEITHER WAS THERE ANY
THAT LACK." GOD ALWAYS MAKES ALL GRACE ABOUND. THAT'S WHY
KEEP YOUR TITHES AND OFFERINGS IN THE GROUND. SOW
FOR THE DAY TO COME. NUMBER FOUR, THERE WAS AN INCREASE
OF SIGNS AND WONDERS. ACTS 5:12, "MANY SIGNS BY THE
APOSTLES' HANDS." ACTS 5:16, I KNOW I'M SAYING THESE
FASTER, THEY COULD PROBABLY PUT THEM UP, BUT YOU CAN
LOOK THEM UP. ACTS 5:16, "THERE CAME MULTITUDES,
BRINGING THE SICK AND THOSE THAT WERE VEXED WITH UNCLEAN
SPIRITS." BY THE WAY, THAT TO ME DESCRIBES HIS CURRENT
GENERATION. VEXED WITH UNCLEAN SPIRITS. COME ON, WE
SEE THOSE PEOPLE, THAT GIRL WITH HER TOP OFF AT THE
CHARLIE KIRK EVENT AND THESE PEOPLE LOOKING ALL CRAZY AND
TRANS AND CUTTING THEMSELVES AND, YOU KNOW, MORE EARRINGS
ON THEIR FACE THAN YOU CAN BUY AT THE JEWELRY STORE.
AND YET, VEXED WITH UNCLEAN SPIRITS, AND IT SAID THEY
WERE HEALED, EVERY ONE. AND THEN THE LAST ONE, THE
CHURCH MULTIPLIED. I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT. WE
ARE SEEING IT. COME ON, IMMEDIATELY COLLEGE CAMPUSES
RIGHT AFTER CHARLIE'S PASSING WERE BEING FLOODED
WITH PEOPLE IN WORSHIP PRAISING GOD. BELIEVERS WERE
MORE ADDED, ACTS 5:14, TO THE LORD. MULTITUDES, BOTH
MEN AND WOMEN. ACTS 6, 1, AND THE NUMBER OF THE
DISCIPLES WERE MULTIPLIED. ACTS 6:7, AND THE WORD OF
GOD INCREASED, AND THE NUMBER OF THE DISCIPLES
MULTIPLIED GREATLY. YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING AFTER
THE DEATH OF STEPHEN, NOW HOW MANY OF YOU, I THINK
THEY TALKED ABOUT THIS AGAIN ON FLASHPOINT, BUT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING THIS DEATH OF STEPHEN WAS LIKE A SEED
PLANTED, AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE PREACHED THIS, HOW THEN
IT RELEASED WHEN HE FORGAVE THOSE AND SAID, "LORD, HOLD
NOT THIS SIN TO THEIR CHARGE." PAUL, SAUL AT THAT
TIME WHO WAS STANDING THERE AND CONSENTING TO STEPHEN'S
DEATH, THAT MANY PEOPLE SAY HIS FORGIVENESS AND HIM
GIVING HIS LIFE WAS WHAT RELEASED SAUL TO BECOME PAUL
AND HELP MAKE THE WAY FOR HIS SALVATION. I'VE HEARD
MANY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT YOU KNOW THE BIBLE GOES
ON AND SAYS, I THINK IT'S ACTS 11, IT SAYS, IF YOU
READ LATER IT SAYS THAT THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE THAT
WERE SCATTERED OVER THE DEATH OF STEPHEN. AND THEY
WERE SCATTERED INTO VARIOUS PLACES AND VARIOUS REGIONS
AND SCATTERED ABROAD. AND IT SAID IN ALL THOSE PLACES
THAT THEY WERE SCATTERED, MANY, MANY PEOPLE,
MULTITUDES CAME TO THE LORD. THEY ALL WENT OUT INTO THOSE
REGIONS. SO YOU KNOW, GOD ALWAYS HAS A WAY. NOW I'M
NOT SAYING, YOU KNOW, GOD KILLS PEOPLE TO, YOU KNOW,
ENACT HIS PURPOSES. GOD'S NOT A KILLING GOD.
HE'S NOT THAT. BUT HE ALSO KNOWS, HE
KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, AND, BUT THE
RESULT OF WHEN THINGS HAPPEN THAT ARE EVIL IS THAT GOD
GETS THE LAST LAUGH. WHEN THE ENEMY PLAYS HIS HAND,
GOD HAS THE WAY AND THE ABILITY TO USE IT AS A MEANS
TO MULTIPLY THE CHURCH AND HIS PURPOSES. AND SO, COME
ON. AND SO, THE ONE THAT REALLY, IT GETS IT IN THE
FACE, THE DEVIL, YOU KNOW THE DEVIL, THE BIBLE SAYS,
HAD HE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH JESUS, HE
WOULD HAVE NEVER CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. BECAUSE
WHEN ONE CHRIST WENT INTO THE GROUND, MANY CHRISTS
CAME UP AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD, AND NOW
CHRIST IN THE EARTH HAS BEEN MULTIPLIED. AND I BELIEVE
WE'RE SEEING THAT, A GREAT, GREAT HARVEST. LET'S STAND
TO OUR FEET FOR A MOMENT. I WANT THEM TO BRING THE
PRAYER CLOTHS. DID I HELP YOU ON THIS TODAY? MY HOPE
WAS TO TEACH YOU THINGS THAT YOU'LL STAND, THAT YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO STAND. AS THEY BRING THOSE, I'LL LET PASTOR...
BEFORE SHE DOES THAT, WE JUST HAVE A FAMILY MOMENT.
HE'S GETTING READY TO GO BACK ON A FLIGHT, AND I JUST
WANTED TO... HE WANTED TO HUG HIS MOM. IS THAT OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, BOYS, COME OVER. HUG FOR ONE MINUTE. ONE...
THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID. MOM MADE THEM, WHENEVER THEY
FIGHT, I MAKE THEM HUG FOR ONE MINUTE. BLOODY NOSES AND
THE WHOLE THING. ALL RIGHT. I LOVE YOU GUYS. WE SPEAK
MERCY. BLESSINGS OVER YOUR FLIGHT, TIGER. ALL RIGHT.
PASTORS AND LEADERS, PASTOR GENE AND TERRY, TONY, WOULD
YOU COME UP? WE'RE JUST GONNA PRAY FOR A MINUTE OVER
THESE PRAYER REQUESTS, AND I'M GONNA HAVE THE USHERS
BEGIN TO PREPARE THE PRAYER LINE. IS IT TOO MUCH TO MAKE
Y'ALL COME UP HERE AND THEN GO BACK DOWN FOR A MINUTE?
DO YOU MIND? I WANNA JUST PRAY OVER THESE PRAYER
CLAWS. NOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS THE USHERS ARE
BEGINNING TO ASSEMBLE THE LINE. LET ME GET A DRINK OF
WATER. AS THE USHERS BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE THE LINE, WE'RE
GONNA PRAY OVER THESE CLAWS. KURT WILL BE TELLING YOU AT
THE END OF SERVICE WE'RE GONNA MAKE THESE AVAILABLE
TO EVERYONE THAT WANTS ONE. SO IF YOU WANT A PRAYER
CLOTH, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET ONE OF THESE SOMEWHERE. KURT
WILL GIVE YOU INFORMATION. BUT I WANT TO GET OUR PASTOR
GENE AND TERRY, PASTOR SHANE AND CHRISSY, YOU'D BE PART
OF THIS, PASTOR MATT. LET'S JUST BEGIN TO PRAY LIKE WE
DO SO MANY TIMES AT LORD OF HOSTS. WE PRAY OVER PRAYER
REQUESTS AND PRAYER CLOTHS AND SPEAK OVER THESE AS
USHERS. THEY'LL BE RELEASING YOU BY, GUYS BEGIN TO PRAY,
I'LL GIVE A LITTLE INSTRUCTION. THEY'LL BE
RELEASING YOU BY SECTION AND KIND OF HOW WE'RE GONNA DO
THIS IS THERE'LL BE A GROUP OF PASTORS FROM LORD OF
HOSTS AS WELL AS OUR PASTOR GINA TERRY AND THEN PASTOR
TONY WHO WILL BE DOWN HERE IN TWO SIDES AND YOU GUYS
WILL THERE'LL BE TWO LINES SO YOU KNOW YOU JUST GET IN
WHATEVER EVERY ONE OF US ARE ANOINTED THE SAME OKAY SO
YOU JUST GET IN WHATEVER LINE THE USHERS DIRECT YOU
IF YOU'RE NOT IN PASTOR HANK'S LINE THAT DOESN'T
MEAN YOU'RE NOT GETTING HEALED OKAY BECAUSE HOW MANY
OF YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE UP HERE KNOW HOW TO PRAY AND
THEY KNOW HOW TO LAY HANDS AND SO THEY'RE GONNA LINE
YOU INTO TWO LINES SINCE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
AND AS YOU JUST WALK PAST EACH PERSON IN YOUR LINE
THEY'LL BRUSH YOU OR TOUCH YOU WITH THE ANOINTING AND
UNLESS YOU JUST ABSOLUTELY FALL, WHAT THE USHERS ARE
INSTRUCTED TO DO IF YOU DO FALL THEY'RE GONNA PICK YOU
UP JUST SO WE CAN KEEP THE LINE GOING SO DON'T FEEL BAD
THEY'RE NOT SAYING WELL YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE FELL DOWN I
UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF GOD HITS PEOPLE BUT THEY'LL JUST
PICK YOU UP GENTLY AND HELP YOU OFF TO THE SIDE BECAUSE
WHAT WE WANT TO DO OUR GOAL HERE TODAY IS GET TO AS MANY
PEOPLE AS WE CAN AND BELIEVE GOD BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE
THAT HAVE SOME REAL NEEDS FOR HEALING TODAY SO AS
THESE ARE ALL BEGINNING TO PRAY I'M GOING TO TAKE A
MOMENT GUYS JUST BEGIN TO PRAY OVER THESE I WANT TO
