(UPBEAT MUSIC)
- COME ON CHURCH, GET UP ON YOUR FEET.
I WANNA HEAR SOMEBODY LIFT UP A SOUND IN THIS PLACE.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
COME ON.
- COME ON, SOMEBODY LIFT UP A SHOUT.
WE LIFT UP A SHOUT TO YOU, YESHUA.
WE BLESS YOU. WE HONOR YOU TODAY.
AND WE INVITE YOU TO YOUR HOUSE THAT YOU WOULD BE HONORED AND
GLORIFIED TODAY. AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY LOVE GOD
SAID. - AMEN.
- NOT BAD, I HEARD IT WAY, WAY UP THERE.
IS THAT THE AMEN SECTION WAY UP THERE?
- SOUNDS LIKE IT, OH MY GOODNESS.
- LET ME HEAR EVERYBODY UP THERE SAID.
- AMEN.
- AND EVERYBODY OVER HERE SAID.
- AMEN.
- AND OVER HERE.
- AMEN.
- NO, YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SAY IT,
I WAS GONNA TELL YOU WHAT TO SAY.
NO, YOU DID GOOD. HOW ABOUT HERE?
- AMEN.
- OH, YOU DID GOOD. WE DO, WE HAVE THE WAVE HERE, RIGHT?
BUT WE'VE DONE THAT, SO THAT'S GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY READY FOR THE NICE, COOL FALL TEMPERATURES
THAT ARE MOVING IN? - EXCEPT IT'S GOING TO BE
83 TODAY. - OH, IT'S GOING TO BE 83 TODAY.
BUT HEY. SORT OF NOT FALL. YEAH, NOT REALLY FALL.
BUT I MEAN, IT'S GOING TO START COOLING DOWN.
IT'S IN THE AIR. HOW MANY THINK IT'S IN THE AIR? I THINK IT'S
IN THE AIR. SO, BUT ANYWAY, WE WERE GOING TO ACTUALLY SHOW YOU
YESTERDAY, WE HAD OUR COLLEGE GAME DAY COFFEE CUPS. AND I
DON'T KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW WHERE RYAN'S AT. I TRIED TO
LOOK. I TOOK-- WE TOOK A PICTURE OF IT.
- WE DID. BUT... - WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU.
WE HAD A GREAT COFFEE.
- SO WE HAVE, YOU KNOW HOW THEY SAY WHEN YOU'VE
BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME, YOU START TO DRESS ALIKE?
LIKE SOME PEOPLE DO. - NO, WE DON'T.
WE DON'T LOOK ANYTHING ALIKE.
NO, WE DON'T. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.
I MEAN, BUT-- OR THEY SAY YOU START TO LOOK ALIKE.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS.
BUT WE DO DO KIND OF THIS CHEESY THING
WHERE WE GET UP AND HAVE WHATEVER THE SPORTS IS OF
THE DAY, WE HAVE THE COFFEE CUPS TO MATCH. SO COLLEGE GAME DAY.
- NOT JUST SPORTS, I MEAN WHATEVER.
- WELL PRETTY MUCH, BUT IT IS SPORTS ON THE WEEKEND.
SO IT'S GREEN BAY ON SUNDAY. SATURDAY IT'S EITHER NEBRASKA
OR THE COLLEGE. WE FOUND COLLEGE GAME DAY CUPS.
ANY DEDICATED COLLEGE GAME DAY WATCHERS?
LIKE A TO, OH YOU GUYS ARE MISSING OUT.
YOU SPORTS PEOPLE AREN'T REAL AT ALL. BUT ANYWAY, WE GET...
- WE ALSO HAVE THE DECORATED ONES THAT A GUY PROBABLY WOULD
NOT USE, BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOW HONOR TO THE WIFE.
- YEAH, THEY'RE SEASONAL. - AND THE DECORATING.
- YOU KNOW, THAT'S TRUE, CHRISTMAS ONES. BUT ANYWAY,
SO... - AND DOG ONES.
- YESTERDAY WAS THE COLLEGE GAME DAY CUPS.
- WELL, I'M EXCITED FOR TODAY. HOW MANY ARE GLAD YOU'RE IN
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD? ARE YOU GLAD? ALL RIGHT.
WELL, WE WELCOME THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ALSO WATCHING AROUND
THE WORLD. MAYBE YOU COULD TELL US WHAT COFFEE CUP YOU'RE USING
TODAY. MAYBE YOU HAVE FOR SUNDAYS, I DON'T KNOW,
MAYBE A SPIRITUAL ONE. MAYBE YOU HAVE A PRACTICAL
ONE, OR MAYBE YOU JUST HAVE, I DON'T KNOW, REGULAR COFFEE CUP.
MAYBE YOU HAVE A COFFEE MUG, RIGHT?
YOU'RE DOWN TO DECREASING YOUR COFFEE INTAKE SO
YOU HAVE A MUG. THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
BUT LISTEN, I'VE GOT A GREAT WORD TODAY,
AND I WANT YOU THAT ARE IN THIS ROOM,
I'M VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS WORD.
AND IT REALLY CAME FROM A TALK WITH APOSTLE MIKE.
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHO HE IS? HE'S BEEN TO OUR CHURCH.
AND WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT JUST WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THE CULTURE, AND I SAID, "WHAT DO YOU PREACH ON?"
HE SAID, "I'M PREACHING ON HATE."
AND I SAID, "YOU KNOW, APOSTLE MIKE," I SAID,
"I'VE BEEN CARRYING KIND OF A WORD IN MY HEART
THAT I THINK I NEED TO TACKLE A TOUGH, TOUGH TOPIC," I SAID.
SO THANK YOU FOR KIND OF LETTING ME KNOW THAT.
NOW I'VE NOT LISTENED TO HIS MESSAGE YET. HE
DID SEND ME A LINK. I GUESS YOU CAN GO OUT TO HIS MINISTRY
AND LOOK AT IT. BUT WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS THE 10
COMMANDMENTS. AGAIN, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT LOVE AND HONOR,
BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT LOVE AND HATE, ANGER.
THERE'S SOCIETY, IF YOU STAND FOR ANYTHING TODAY,
THEY SAY, WELL, YOU'RE HATING, RIGHT?
IF YOU STAND FOR ANYTHING, OH, YOU'RE JUST AN ANGRY PEOPLE.
BUT THEN THERE'S THE REVERSE SIDE.
WE ARE SEEING ANGER. WE ARE SEEING HATRED, RIGHT?
AND SO WE WANNA TALK ABOUT, THERE ARE THINGS THAT GOD LOVES
AND THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT HE HATES.
AND GOD ISN'T ALWAYS HAPPY SKIPPITY-DO.
SOMETIMES HE GETS ANGRY, EVEN THOUGH HE'S SLOW TO ANGER.
SO WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS. I WANNA DO IT IN A TASTEFUL WAY.
I WANNA PRESENT SOME THINGS TO YOU,
AND WE'LL SEE IF THAT'S THE ROAD WE GO DOWN.
SO I THINK YOU'RE REALLY GONNA LIKE IT.
- I THINK IT'S EXCITING. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT.
- I'M EXCITED. WELL, HOW MANY OF YOU CAT LOVERS ARE IN HERE
AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING?
- I LIKE CATS. JUST FOR THE RECORD.
- OKAY, ONLY LIKE TWO PEOPLE. HOW MANY DOG LOVERS?
WATCH, LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE. OH, LOOK AT THAT, LOOK AT THAT.
- OKAY, CAN I SAY SOMETHING? PASTOR SHANE AND CHRISTY HAVE
TWO OF THE NICEST CATS IN THE WORLD.
- I ALMOST THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING ONE,
BUT THEN I CHANGED MY MIND. GOD CAME ON ME
AND SAID, "DON'T DO IT." SO, BUT...
- OH, THAT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE PETS.
- BUT I GOT A POINT. YOU KNOW HOW WE ALWAYS
SAY, "DOGS GO TO HEAVEN." WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF
CATS UP THERE EXCEPT LIONS. I DISCOVERED WHY. GOD IS GIVING
CATS THEIR DAY. DO YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD MAP...
[SIGHS]
LOOK AT THIS. IT IS A CAT. SEE AUSTRALIA DOWN THERE, THAT'S
A... - THAT'S TRUE.
- THAT IS A CAT. - THE WORLD IS A CAT.
- SEE, THAT'S... - ALL RIGHT.
- ALL YOU CAT LOVERS, THAT'S WHY. THEY'RE TRYING TO RULE THE
WORLD, YOUR HOUSE, YOUR LIFE, AND THAT IS PROOF.
HOW MANY OF YOU SEE THAT CAT? YOU SEE THAT CAT, AND
HE'S PLAYING WITH AUSTRALIA RIGHT THERE.
- THAT'S KIND OF CUTE, ACTUALLY. THAT'S CUTE.
- THAT WAS A CATASTROPHE JOKE, BUT LET'S MOVE ON.
HERE WE GO. LET'S MOVE ON.
- OKAY, WELL, ARE YOU EXCITED TO BE IN THE LORD'S HOUSE TODAY?
YOU HAVE TO HAVE, I'LL SAY THIS, THE ATTITUDE THAT EVERY TIME
YOU WALK INTO CHURCH, DON'T EVER EXPECT STATUS QUO.
EXPECT SOMETHING AMAZING TO HAPPEN. EXPECT TO RECEIVE
SOMETHING. EXPECT TO CONNECT WITH GOD, RIGHT? AND EXPECT
A MIRACLE. SO SAY THAT. SAY, "LORD,
TODAY I EXPECT SOMETHING DIVINE TO MOVE IN THIS PLACE, TOUCH MY
LIFE, SPEAK TO ME, AND I THANK YOU THAT YOUR WORD IS GOING TO
CHANGE ME. IT'S GOING TO IMPACT ME, AND I
THINK YOU ALL NEVER BE THE SAME. SO LORD JESUS,
I PLAN TODAY TO GIVE YOU MY VERY BEST PRAISE. COME
ON, SHOUT LIKE YOU BELIEVE THAT AND LET'S PRAISE THE LORD.
(MUSIC)
- COME ON, CHURCH.
- LET'S PRAISE HIM THIS MORNING.
(MUSIC)
♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WE STILL SERVE A GOD OF THE MIRACULOUS?
(MUSIC)
♪ WORSHIP MUSIC ♪
- WE WORSHIP YOU. JUST WORSHIP HIM. WE WORSHIP YOU, YESHUA.
WE WORSHIP YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER. WE BRING THE ADORATION AND THE
HONOR FROM OUR HEART TO YOU, AND WE WORSHIP YOU. OH GOD, WE OPEN
OUR HEARTS. WE EXTOL THY NAME AND THY GREATNESS.
WE WORSHIP YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. PRAISE YOU, JESUS.
THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU, LORD.
YOU KNOW, I'M CONVINCED OF SOMETHING IN MY HEART.
HOW MANY REMEMBER WHEN THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT BELIEVERS
WOULD LAY HANDS ON THE SICK? AND WHAT DID THE BIBLE SAY
WOULD BE THE RESULT? THEY WOULD WHAT? THEY WOULD RECOVER.
AND THEN MARK 16, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,
VERSE 20 SAID THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS WORKING WITH THEM,
CONFIRMING THE WORD WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING. I BELIEVE
THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT GOD WANTS HERE IN JUST THIS
MOMENT. NUMBER ONE IS IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF SYMPTOM,
INFIRMITY, DISEASE THAT IS TRYING TO TOUCH YOUR BODY. I
WANT SOMEBODY AROUND YOU A BELIEVER AND MAYBE YOU'RE A
BELIEVER WHO I'M DESCRIBING THIS BUT I WANT YOU TO RAISE
YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED
HEALING IN YOUR BODY, RAISE YOUR HAND AND THOSE OF YOU
THAT ARE WATCHING YOU COULD PUT THE HAND SYMBOL THERE
AND WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU AS WELL. ALL
RIGHT, I WANT PEOPLE NOW, KEEP YOUR HAND UP JUST FOR
UNTIL YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WHO CAN STEP OUT, COME ON, STEP
OUT OF THE AISLE BELIEVERS, AND AND YOU SAY, "WELL, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO." JUST LAY YOUR HANDS ON THEM AND
AND AND AND TELL THEM, "BE HEALED IN THE AUTHORITY OF
YESHUA'S NAME." COMMAND THAT SICKNESS AND DISEASE TO GO
FROM THEM. I WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY, YOU CAN PUT YOUR
HAND DOWN ONCE YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S PRAYING FOR
YOU. PUT YOUR HAND DOWN SO THAT WE KNOW THAT EVERYBODY,
GO AHEAD AND PUT YOUR HAND DOWN IF YOU'VE ALREADY GOT
SOMEBODY PRAYING FOR YOU. THERE'S STILL SOMEBODY RIGHT
OVER HERE THAT NEEDS SOMEBODY RIGHT HERE TO PRAY.
THERE'S SOMEBODY OVER THERE. AGAIN, PUT YOUR HAND DOWN IF
YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY. DO YOU NEED SOMEBODY? OKAY, YOU'RE
GOOD, YOU'RE GOOD. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE NOBODY
LEFT OUT. ALL RIGHT, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,
KEEP PRAYING. I'M GOING TO USE MY PHONE AS IF I'M
LAYING HANDS UPON YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW. HEAVENLY FATHER,
WE THANK YOU, FIRST AND FOREMOST, THAT WE HAVE A
HEALING COVENANT. WE THANK YOU THAT THAT BLOOD, THE
BLOOD OF YESHUA, THE BLOOD OF OUR COVENANT THAT'S BEEN
SEALED AND RATIFIED THROUGH AND BY YESHUA'S BLOOD IS
UPON THE MERCY OF THE MERCY SEAT. AND WITH THAT BLOOD,
HE IS AND WAS THE PROPITIATION, THE SUBSTITUTE
FOR US, INCLUDING INIQUITY, TRESPASS, TRANSGRESSION,
SIN, BUT ALSO SICKNESS AND DISEASE. AND WE KNOW IN THE
BOOK OF ISAIAH, HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR
TRANSGRESSIONS. HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES.
HE TOOK THE PUNISHMENT, THE CHASTISEMENT OF IT, THAT BY,
BY, BY THOSE STRIPES, AS THE PLOWMAN PLOWED HIS BACK,
MAKING DEEP LONG DEFERRALS BY THOSE STRIPES, WE ARE,
AND WE WERE HEALED. WE SPEAK THE WORD AND WE TAKE
AUTHORITY OVER ALL SYMPTOMS, ALL SICKNESS, ALL DISEASE,
ALL MANIFESTATION, ALL GENERATIONAL INFIRMITY AND
INIQUITY. WE COMMANDED TO COME OUT AND COME OFF OF OUR
LIVES IN THE AUTHORITY OF THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY
DISEASE AND EVERY NAME, EVERY DEMON. WE COMMAND
SICKNESS, DISEASE, COME OUT! AND BE HEALED, BE HEALED, BE
HEALED, BE HEALED. NOW LORD, WE DISPATCH THE HEAVENLY
HOSTS TO GO AND MINISTER, MINISTER TO THE PEOPLE,
MINISTER TO THEM NOW. WE THANK YOU THAT THERE'S NO
MORE SYMPTOMS, NO MORE DISEASE. LORD, THEY'RE
HEALED BY THE STRIPES OF YESHUA RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW.
NOW I WANT YOU THAT JUST GOT PRAYED FOR TO SAY, I RECEIVE
MY HEALING. IT IS WELL AND SHALL BE WELL IN MY BODY.
AMEN. NOW HERE'S THE SECOND THING THAT VERY QUICKLY THAT
I FEEL, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S ANGELS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT
TO THIS ROOM, NOT ONLY TO MINISTER WHAT WE JUST
MINISTERED, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOME OF YOU
THAT YOU NEED SOME THINGS TO OPEN. YOU NEED SOME
BREAKTHROUGHS, YOU NEED SOME THINGS TO OPEN. AND IN ORDER
FOR GOD TO DO THAT, HE MAY NEED TO CLOSE SOME THINGS,
RIGHT? THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT GOD OPENS DOORS, RIGHT?
THAT NOTHING AND NO MAN CAN CLOSE. AND HE CLOSES THINGS
THAT NO MAN OR NO DEMON CAN OPEN. THE ANGELS WENT AND
CLOSED THE MOUTH OF THE LIONS, BUT ALSO OPENED UP
PRISON DOORS. AND SO I BELIEVE TODAY THAT THERE ARE
ANGELIC HOSTS, SERVANTS, AND THEY ARE SENT TO MINISTER
FOR US WHO ARE HEIRS OF SALVATION. THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO CLOSE SOME THINGS AND OPEN SOME THINGS. SO
LORD, IF THERE'S ANY ASSIGNMENTS, ATTACKS,
INFIRMITY, LORD, ANYTHING THAT'S TRYING TO COME
AGAINST THE PEOPLE OR THEIR LOVED ONES, WE COMMAND AND
WE COMMISSION THE HOST. GO AND CLOSE THOSE THINGS NOW.
RESTRAIN AND BREAK THE POWER OF EVERY CURSE, INCANTATION,
AND ASSIGNMENT. CLOSE IT. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT IS
TRYING TO CAUSE OUR LIVES TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT OR OUT
OF THE WILL OF GOD, CLOSE IT. HOSTS, GO, CLOSE IT.
STOP THE ENEMY. RESTRAIN EVEN US AND THE FORCES OF
DARKNESS. NOW, GOD, THINGS THAT NEED TO OPEN, THINGS
THAT NEED TO MANIFEST,
THINGS THAT NEED TO COME IN AN ACCELERATED WAY, WE
RELEASE THE HOST. GO, GO, GO, GO. OPEN THOSE DOORS.
CAUSE OUR BLESSING, OUR HARVEST AND OUR SHIFT AND
OUR CHANGE TO COME. IT'LL COME SWIFTLY. IT'LL OPEN.
NOW, IN JESUS' NAME. NOW, THANK THE LORD. JUST SAY,
"THANK YOU, LORD." YOU'RE CLOSING DOORS. YOU'RE
RESTRAINING THE HAND OF THE ENEMY. IT'S CLOSED. BUT NOW
YOU'RE OPENING A HEALING STREAM. BLESSINGS, GRACE,
BREAKTHROUGH, PROVISION, NEW DOORS, NEW THINGS, NOW,
AMEN. AMEN. PRAISE GOD. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I WANT YOU TO
DO WHAT JESUS SAID. HERE'S HOW THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT
YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES. IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER, I WANT YOU
TO SHARE YOUR NAME, BUT THEN I WANT YOU TO SAY THIS. IF
YOU HAD A CHOICE, YOU HAVE A CHOICE, OF WHICH ANGEL,
GABRIEL OR MICHAEL, THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET. GABRIEL
WAS THE MESSENGER ANGEL. MICHAEL IS THE WARRING
ANGEL. YOU KNOW, RIGHT? WHICH ONE WOULD YOU WANT TO
MEET? WELL, DON'T TELL ME, TELL EACH OTHER. AND THEN
THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WRITE IT IN THE
COMMENTS. MICHAEL OR GABRIEL OR BOTH?
[MUSIC]
WELL, GOOD MORNING, LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH. YOU GUYS ARE A
CHATTY BUNCH THIS MORNING. I LOVE IT. IT'S GOOD TO BE IN

THE AISLE THAT HAVE A BLUE GIFT BAG FOR YOU. IF YOU DID

AS WELL AS THE VARIOUS MINISTRIES THAT WE HAVE

FRONT OF LAMBEAU FIELD, SO SHOUT, EVERYONE WAVE TO
PASTOR MATT, SAY HELLO. ALSO TELL PASTOR MATT, CHIEFS.
(CONGREGATION CHEERING) RIGHT, RIGHT, OKAY, OKAY.
I'M GONNA GET HOOKED OFF THE STAGE. HERE HE COMES, I CAN
SEE IT, I CAN SEE IT. I CAN FEEL IT PROPHETICALLY. I
PLEAD THE BLOOD. THIS IS A PACKER CHURCH. LET'S JUST
SAY THE CHIEFS PACKED IT IN, RIGHT? [CHEERING] [LAUGHING]
OKAY, WELL, BEFORE I GET DISBARRED FROM THE CHURCH, I
JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF OUR GAME
CHANGERS AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY
OF NEBRASKA, OMAHA, THIS PAST THURSDAY FOR OUR
TURNING POINT USA STYLE EVENT THAT TOOK PLACE. GUYS,
IT WAS A POWERFUL TIME. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO
OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT HELPED MAKE IT HAPPEN. YOU
GUYS WERE AMAZING AND REALLY IT WAS JUST AN AWESOME TIME
TO BE ABLE TO ENGAGE WITH STUDENTS THAT ARE THE NEXT
GENERATION AND TO HAVE SO MANY VARIOUS QUESTIONS,
WHETHER IT WAS LEFT, RIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE, IT WAS A
POWERFUL TIME. I BELIEVE THE LORD PLANTED A SEED AND WE
ARE GONNA SEE THE HARVEST IN THIS COMING SEASON.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) AMEN. WELL, WE'RE NOT GONNA
BELABOR ON THAT, BUT CHECK IT OUT. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS
ON OUR GAME CHANGERS PODCAST THIS PAST FRIDAY. PASTOR
MATT WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING IN HIS TRUCK AND I JUST WANNA
MAKE A DISCLAIMER, PLEASE DO NOT PODCAST AND DRIVE. WE'RE
NOT ENDORSING THAT. WE'RE NOT ENDORSING THAT, DON'T DO
THAT. SO IT WAS JUST FOR THE MOMENT, IT WAS A REALLY COOL
TIME. BUT IF YOU WANNA CHECK OUT THE DEBATE THAT WE HAD
IN ITS FULL LENGTH, WE'LL ACTUALLY BE AIRING IT ON THE
NEXT GAME CHANGERS PODCAST THIS UPCOMING FRIDAY AT
11.30 A.M. CENTRAL TIME. YOU CAN CHECK US OUT ON
FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, YOU CAN CHECK US OUT AS WELL ON
YOUTUBE. WE'LL HAVE THAT STREAMING FOR YOU GUYS. BUT
ALSO, WE JUST WANNA SHOW YOU A QUICK RECAP. SO IF YOU
COULD PLEASE TURN YOUR ATTENTIONS TO THE SCREEN,
AND WE'LL TALK TO YOU SOON.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
- HAVING CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES, WE HAVE A
SPECIAL LIGHT IN US TO NOT ONLY BEAR TRUTH, BUT ALSO TO
INFILTRATE THIS WORLD WITH LOVE. - IT DOES FIRST AND FOREMOST
START WITH US, THE PERSON, WHICH IS WHY YOU ALL ARE HERE TONIGHT,
BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SEE CHANGED.
(MUSIC)
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MOTHERHOOD AND
FATHERHOOD IN OUR SCHOOLS INSTEAD OF BRINGING DRAG
QUEENS IN AND TEACHING PEOPLE TO BE A TREE OR BE
SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT. - THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN
DO FROM A POSITIVE STANDPOINT THAT CAN START
MAKING CHANGES AND MAKING WAVES. I MEAN, CHARLIE KIRK
SHOWED THAT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT, HOW YOUNG YOU ARE.
(CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
- AMEN. I AM SO PROUD OF OUR TEAM DOING THAT BECAUSE OUR
CHURCH IS INVOLVED WITH THAT OUTREACH. WHAT A WONDERFUL
THING. AND IT'S PART OF THE HARVEST SEASON THAT WE'RE IN
AND SO TIMELY. SO HEY, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, PASTOR
SHANE AND CHRISTY ARE HEADED OUT ALREADY ON ASSIGNMENT.
THEY'RE HEADING TO CANADA RIGHT NOW. AND THEY'RE GOING
TO BE FILMING CURTIS AND JACKIE WHO ARE PART OF OUR
E-MEMBERS IN CANADA. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY LIVE UP BY
ONTARIO OR SOMEWHERE LIKE, IS IT ONTARIO? SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. OTTAWA, OKAY. SO THEY'RE UP IN CANADA, THEY
COME TO OTH EVERY YEAR, THEY'RE VERY FAITHFUL. BUT
WE'RE GONNA DO A LIVE INTERVIEW REGARDING OUR
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY AND WHAT PASTOR HANK'S DOING WITH THE
CHILDREN. AND SO IT'S KIND OF EXCITING THAT WE'VE GOT A
TEAM OUT ON THE ROAD DOING LIVE INTERVIEWS NOW. AND SO
WE'RE TAKING IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. AND SO BE PRAYING FOR
PASTOR SHANE AND CHRISTIE AS THEY MAKE THIS TRIP AND DO
THIS FILMING AND IT'LL BE AMAZING. AND IT'LL BE
INTERESTING TO SEE THE RESULTS WHEN THEY GET BACK.
AND PASTOR MATT IS ON VACATION. BUT AT THIS POINT,
I WANT TO BRING UP PASTORS HANK AND BRENDA. GIVE THEM A
HAND. BECAUSE HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER, HOW MANY OF
YOU REMEMBER THIS IS NATIONAL PASTOR APPRECIATION
SUNDAY? AND YEAH, I THINK WE COULD STAND AND GIVE THEM A
HAND. YOU GUYS JUST COME UP IN FRONT OF ME.
WE ALSO APPRECIATE PASTOR DOUG, PASTOR ANTHONY,
PASTOR MATT, PASTOR KEITH, PASTOR MARK, AND PASTOR MIKE.
I THINK HE'S ON VACATION. AND PASTOR SHANE AND KRISTI. WE
APPRECIATE THEM. SO I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THIS
FOR US, BUT I WANT TO HONOR THEM AS WELL.
- WE APPRECIATE THAT. BUT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND THE CONGREGATION, THE STAFF OF LORD OF HOSTS AND THE
ASSOCIATE PASTORS, WE JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME TO
JUST REALLY HONOR YOU BECAUSE IT IS A SPECIAL
THING. IT'S A ONCE-A-YEAR OPPORTUNITY THAT WE CAN DO
THIS. 1 TIMOTHY 5:17, MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT. IT SAYS,
"LET THE ELDERS THAT RULE WELL BE COUNTED WORTHY OF
DOUBLE HONOR." AND SO WE NEED TO TAKE TIME EVERY
YEAR. ONCE A YEAR REALLY ISN'T ENOUGH TO HONOR.
PASTORING IS A CHALLENGING JOB, AND YOU'VE GIVEN YOUR
LIVES TO SERVE PEOPLE, AND YOU'VE DONE IT FOR NOW 28
YEARS. AND I WAS TELLING OUR GROUP ON WEDNESDAY, I THINK
THE AVERAGE TENURE FOR A PASTOR IS LIKE SIX OR SEVEN
YEARS IN THE NATION. SO THEY'VE WELL DONE THAT, AND
THEY'VE STUCK HERE THROUGH TOUGH TIMES, THROUGH THE
GOOD TIMES, THROUGH EVERYTHING THE DEVIL'S
THROWN AT THEM. THEY'VE BEEN FAITHFUL TO STAND HERE, AND
WE ARE REAPING THE BLESSINGS OF THAT BECAUSE OF THEIR
FAITHFULNESS. WHEN GOD TOLD THEM TO COME PASTOR IN
OMAHA, THEY COULD HAVE SAID NO. AND MANY TIMES DURING
THAT JOURNEY OVER 28 YEARS, I'M SURE THERE WERE TIMES
THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY TO JUST CLOSE THE DOORS AND
QUIT AND DO SOMETHING ELSE. THEY HAD OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
- WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. BUT YEAH.
- BUT THEY STOOD FAITHFUL. AND SO WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT
THAT. WILLIE, OH, YOU'RE HERE ALREADY. OKAY. SO WE
CAN'T, YOU KNOW, SAYING THANK YOU REALLY ISN'T A
LOT. GIVING HIM A GIFT BASKET REALLY ISN'T ENOUGH.
- IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S WEIGHTLIFTING OVER THERE.
- YEAH, THIS IS HEAVY BY THE WAY. IT'S LIKE 300 POUNDS.
(LAUGHING) - THAT LOOKS LIKE A MASSIVE NOTEBOOK.
- LET'S SEE HOW MANY TIMES YOU CAN, LIKE...
- MY ARMS ARE TIRED. - YOU CAN SET IT DOWN.
- ANYWAY, THERE'S A LOT OF GOODIES IN HERE. THERE'S SOME
GIFT CARDS. AND OUR CHURCH, BY THE WAY, HAS PUT TOGETHER
HANDWRITTEN CARDS AND NOTES. YOU'RE GOING TO BE GETTING
THOSE. - WE READ THEM ALL AND PRAY OVER
THEM. - I'M NOT SURE WHERE IT'S AT,
BUT... OH, HERE IT IS. - WELL, THIS LOOKS LIKE SOME
KIND OF STUDY MATERIAL. I DON'T KNOW.
- SO THIS IS KIND OF NEAT. OUR E-MEMBERS SENT THEIR LOVE.
- OH MY, THAT IS AWESOME. - AND SO WE'VE GOT E-MEMBERS
FROM ACROSS THE NATION AND AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE SENT
PERSONAL NOTES TO US. - THAT IS REALLY SPECIAL. THANK
YOU GUYS. - LET ME SHOW IT TO EVERYBODY.
- I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. - LOOK AT THIS.
WHAT IS THIS? THIS IS... - IS THAT FOR A PICNIC OR
SOMETHING? -CAN GET A CLOSE-UP OF THAT.
- OH, OKAY, SO THIS IS... - IT'S A TABLECLOTH. IT'S WHAT?
- IT'S FOR GLAMPING? - OH, IT'S A GLAMPING PAD, I
GUESS. - OH, WE LOVE THAT.
- IT'S YOUR SPOIL YOUR HUSBAND BLANKET.
- IT IS. WE LIKE TO GLAMP. - WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO
BRENDA'S GONNA GIVE THE SPEECH.
- YEAH, YEAH, I'LL LET YOU.
- WELL, I'LL JUST SAY THIS, WE'LL BOTH SAY IT.
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO HOLD THAT.
- YEAH, OH, HERE, PUT THIS IN THERE.
LET'S MAKE IT HEAVIER FOR YOU.
- WELL, WE HONOR YOU, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE YOU. AND OF
COURSE, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT GOD OR YOU AND ALSO
THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. SO YOU GET TO SAY THE SPEECH.
- WELL, I WILL JUST SAY, IF I COULD ONLY FIND THE RIGHT
WORDS TO SAY HOW MUCH WE VALUE, YOU KNOW, I COME OUT
ON A SUNDAY AND I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE WALK OUT HERE
AND WE WALK OFF THE PLATFORM, BUT EVERY TIME WE
SEE A FACE AND WE SEE YOU, THERE'S TIMES WHEN WE'RE AT
A BOOK TABLE OR WE'RE GREETING PEOPLE. I CAN'T
TELL YOU FROM PASTOR AND MYSELF HOW MUCH WE VALUE AND
APPRECIATE EVERY PERSON THAT IS IN HERE ON A SUNDAY. AND
PASTOR HANK HAS THIS INNATE GIFT, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
HE DOES IT, BUT WE CAN HAVE A HUGE CROWD OF PEOPLE. WE
CAN BE AT OPENING THE HEAVENS. WE CAN BE IN A
PACKED OUT CHURCH SERVICE LIKE THIS. AND HE'LL SAY,
"YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T SEEN SO-AND-SO IN TWO WEEKS." AND
HOW HE DOES THAT, I DON'T KNOW. I'M LIKE, I'M JUST
TRYING TO LOOK PAST THE LIGHTS. I CAN SEE. I CAN
SEE, BUT HE CAN SCAN THE CROWD, AND HE'LL GO, AND
HE'LL CHECK WITH ONE OF THE STAFF AND GO, "HOW'S
SO-AND-SO DOING?" AND IF YOU JUST ONLY KNEW HOW MUCH WE
VALUE YOU, ALL OF YOU ONLINE, THERE'S SOME OF OUR
REGULAR E-MEMBERS. PASTOR DOES THE SAME. HE'LL GO OUT
IN THE COMMENTS AND GO, "WELL, THERE'S SO-AND-SO
AGAIN. THEY'RE COMMENTING AGAIN." SO WE VALUE YOU, AND
WHEN WE SIT AND READ YOUR CARDS, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW
MANY TIMES WE HAVE SAT TOGETHER IN TEARS RUNNING AT
THE KIND WORDS, BUT MORE THAN THAT, THE TESTIMONIES.
AND IT'S NOT ONLY EVEN ABOUT US. SOMETIMES IT'S, "HEY, I
CAME TO CHURCH AND MET SO-AND-SO, AND WE PRAYED
TOGETHER AND BECAME FRIENDS AND GOT HEALED, AND I GOT
HEALED." IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON. SO ALL I WANT TO DO
IS SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.
- WE LOVE YOU. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
AND I DON'T THINK YOU CAN HAVE PASTOR APPRECIATION
WITHOUT APPRECIATING YOU. AND IT REALLY MEANS A LOT.
AND BRENDA, YOU KNOW, WE PRAY FOR YOU AND WE PRAY FOR
YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND IT'S KIND OF OUR WAY OF JUST
SAYING, GOD, NOT ONLY IS THAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY, BUT
IT'S OUR WAY OF BEING ABLE TO GIVE BACK. AND WHEN WE DO
READ THOSE CARDS, WE PRAY OVER EVERY ONE OF THEM. AND
THE REASON WE DO THAT IS BECAUSE WE WANNA GIVE BACK.
AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR MINISTRY OUTGROWS YOUR
ABILITY TO TOUCH EVERYBODY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, LIKE
YOU USED TO WHEN MAYBE YOU FIRST STARTED, IT'S JUST OUR
WAY OF TRYING TO SAY, "GOD, WE VALUE YOU, THE PEOPLE."
AND SO WE HONOR YOU. THANK YOU FOR HONORING US AND
LOVING US. AND LISTEN, YOU MAKE IT EASY. YOU MAKE IT
EASY. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT, GREAT SHEEP. SO, ALL RIGHT.
- ALL RIGHT. GIVE YOURSELVES A HAND. THANK YOU.
AND AMEN, PRAISE THE LORD. ALL RIGHT, WELL, YOU
CAN BE SEATED. THANK YOU AGAIN. I'M ANTICIPATING
READING ALL OF THOSE NOTES AND LETTERS AND KIND THINGS,
AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL, AND JUST ENOUGH CANNOT BE SAID.
BUT BEFORE WE GET INTO THE OFFERING, I WANNA GO FAIRLY
QUICKLY. I WANT PASTOR TO HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. HE, I'M
JUST EXCITED TO SINK MY TEETH INTO THIS TOPIC THAT
HE'S GONNA BE SHARING. SO I WANNA JUST REALLY GET INTO
IT. JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS. SUNDAY, THE
26TH OF OCTOBER, JOHN AMACHUKWU IS GONNA BE HERE
SUNDAY MORNING, SHARING AND PREACHING. AND AREN'T YOU
THANKFUL FOR THIS MAN'S BOLDNESS TO GO AND SPEAK UP
FOR THE CHILDREN, GO INTO THE SCHOOLS. I MEAN, THAT
MAN JUST LITERALLY GOES INTO THE DEVIL'S CAMP AND
CONFRONTS THE ENEMY. AND SO HE'S GONNA BE HERE. AND THEN
JUST THAT VERY NEXT WEDNESDAY, WE'RE HOSTING A
VERY SPECIAL ONLINE ONLY WEDNESDAY. SO THAT WILL NOT
BE IN PERSON BECAUSE WE NEED THE WHOLE BUILDING TO DO
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING, IT'S
ANOTHER RESCUING A GENERATION EVENT, WHICH
WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME RESOURCES AVAILABLE THAT
NIGHT. I BROUGHT OUT WITH ME THIS RESCUING A GENERATION.
SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THIS LAST TIME WE DID
THIS, I THINK IT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND
2023 WAS IT, I THINK. AND WE DID THE RESCUING A
GENERATION WHERE WE SENT IN ALL THE CHILDREN'S PICTURES.
AND PASTOR AND I PUT TOGETHER A PRAYER GUIDE FOR
PRAYING FOR YOUR KIDS, RAISING YOUR KIDS IN AN EVIL
CULTURE. AND WE ARE MAKING THAT AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE
THAT WANT ONE THAT NIGHT COMPLETELY. LIKE WHEN I SAY
COMPLETELY FREE, I MEAN FREE, FREE. YOU DON'T HAVE
TO SEND A DONATION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.
WE JUST WANNA MAKE THAT AVAILABLE FOR EVERYBODY
THAT'LL BE TUNING IN. SO ALL THE INFORMATION IS UP THERE
ON THE QR CODE. AND THIS IS JUST AN ABSOLUTE FREE GIFT
THAT WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER THAT NIGHT FOR ANYBODY THAT
WANTS ONE. AND I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO PRAY FOR THE
KIDS. I DO. AND THE ENEMY HAS PULLED OUT EVERY STOP TO
ATTACK THE CHILDREN ON MULTIPLE WAYS. I COULD STAND
UP HERE AND PREACH A WHOLE SERMON ON THE THINGS THE
ENEMY IS DOING TO ATTACK CHILDREN. OBVIOUSLY, WE
BEGIN WITH THE TOPIC OF ABORTION, BUT ON AND ON IT
GOES. AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS PASTOR HAS BEEN SO
PASSIONATE IS TO USE HIS TALENT, WHICH BY THE WAY,
PASTOR HANK IS A VERY TALENTED COMIC AND
CARTOONIST. AS YOU'RE SITTING OVER THERE, HONEY,
I'M LOOKING AT YOU, AND I AM GOING TO JUST SAY THAT YOU
ARE FUNNY. I DO LAUGH. I LAUGH AT YOUR PUNS AND YOUR
JOKES, AND EVEN IF THEY ARE CORNY, IT'S OKAY. ANYWAY,
BUT SOME OF THE STUFF HE COMES UP WITH IN THE
CHILDREN'S MATERIAL IS, AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, THE
THINGS THAT YOU READ IN THOSE COMICS, IT IS REALLY
ALL YOUR PASTOR. HE COMES UP WITH THE MOST AMAZING, I'M
LIKE, HOW DO YOU EVEN THINK OF THOSE THINGS? AND HE
SAID, BUT I HAVE TO USE MY TALENT AS A COMIC AND A
CARTOONIST. BY THE WAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T
KNOW, HE WAS GONNA ACTUALLY BE A STAND-UP COMIC BEFORE
HE WENT INTO THE MINISTRY. HE WANTED TO BE A COMEDIAN.
GO FIGURE THAT. I'M LIKE, "WELL, OKAY." I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S SUCH A HIGH-RISK JOB. EITHER PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING
OR THEY'RE THROWING TOMATOES. I DON'T KNOW. I
COULDN'T HANDLE THAT PRESSURE, BUT ANYHOW, IT'S
ALL GOOD. I'M JUST SO THANKFUL THAT HE HAS CHOSEN
TO DO THAT. ONE OF THE KEY AREAS, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE
HEARD LANCE TALK ABOUT THE SEVEN MOUNTAINS? ONE OF
THOSE IS THE ENTERTAINMENT ARENA. WHY NOT IMPACT
CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT? WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
THAT NIGHT ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO WORK TO GET THESE
NEXT THREE VIDEOS DONE. YOU HEAR A LOT OF NEGATIVE
THINGS ABOUT AI RIGHT NOW. THERE IS SO MUCH EVIL WITH
IT. BUT EVERYTHING THAT'S TECHNOLOGICAL, EITHER WE CAN
JUST LET THE DEVIL HAVE IT OR WE CAN TAKE AND USE IT.
AND THERE MAY BE, WE'RE LOOKING AND WE'RE STILL
WORKING OUT SOME OF THE DETAILS, BUT WORKING ON A
WAY WITH AI WHERE WE CAN GET THREE MORE CHILDREN'S
FULL-LENGTH ANIMATION VIDEOS COMPLETED FOR A FRACTION,
LITERALLY LIKE, I MEAN, TWO-THIRDS OFF THE COST.
WHAT WAS GOING TO BE $1.2 MILLION WE MAY BE DOING FOR
LESS THAN $400,000. I MEAN, FOLKS, AND WE'LL TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT THAT NIGHT, BUT TONY SUAREZ IS
GOING TO BE HERE WITH US IN PERSON THAT NIGHT. HE'S
GOING TO BE MINISTERING. WE'RE GOING TO BE PRAYING
OVER THE KIDS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, SO IT'S A BIG NIGHT
TO SEND IN PRAYER REQUESTS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUNCH
OF BUNDLES TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU AS WELL. SO JUST BE
PART OF IT. AND WE'RE GONNA, SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO,
WE'RE GONNA GO ALL AROUND THE BUILDING AND WE'RE GONNA
HAVE LIVE PHONE LINES OPEN RIGHT HERE. I THINK THEY'RE
IN THE CHAPEL. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THEY'RE PUTTING ALL
THAT YET, BUT WE'RE FIGURING IT OUT. ARE WE FIGURING IT
OUT, BOB? BOB'S GOT THIS. GIVE A HAND, CLAP TO BOB
EDIGREW. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) SO BE PART OF
IT. SEVEN O'CLOCK CENTRAL TIME, E-MEMBERS, ALL OF YOU,
LET'S CONNECT AND LET'S DO THIS FOR THE KIDS. SO THAT'S
OCTOBER THE 29TH. AND THEN NOVEMBER THE 6TH THROUGH THE
9TH, OMAHA VICTORY CAMPAIGN WITH KENNETH COPELAND AND
HIS WHOLE GROUP, JONATHAN SHUTTLESWORTH, KEITH BUTLER
ARE GONNA BE HERE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FELT,
IN FACT, BROTHER COPELAND, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE
WATCHING TODAY, BUT HE SENT US THE MOST ADORABLE PICTURE
FROM HIS HOUSE. YESTERDAY, HE TEXTED PASTOR HANK, AND
IT WAS A PICTURE OF HIM WATCHING NEW LEVEL WITH HANK
AND BRENDA. AND WE WERE SO BLESSED BY THAT, BUT I SAID,
YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, BROTHER COPELAND, AND
I'LL SAY THIS PUBLICLY, ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, I WAS IN
HIGH SCHOOL, YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO BRENDA AND HANK
WERE THEN. I MEAN, I THOUGHT I'D NEVER EVEN MEET YOU
SOMEDAY, THAT YOU WOULD BE HERE IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA AT
THE CHURCH WE PASTOR. AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY MORE YEARS PAST BROTHER COPELAND WILL BE DOING WHAT
HE'S DOING. I THINK HE TURNS 90 THIS YEAR. I MEAN, THINK
ABOUT THAT. AND BUT HE'S HERE. AND SO, FOLKS, LET'S
COME OUT AND HONOR THAT. LET'S HONOR WHAT THE MAN HAS
DONE FOR FLASHPOINT, AMERICA FOR STANDING. SO I DON'T
KNOW IF WE HAVE REGISTRATION INFORMATION OUT THERE.
THEY'RE HANDLING THAT, BOB, THROUGH. DOES IT HAVE? ARE
WE DOING IT THROUGH OUR PAGE? IS THAT CORRECT?
THEY'RE DOING IT THROUGH THEIRS. SO IS THE
INFORMATION OUT THERE WHERE THEY CAN REGISTER AT THAT?
OKAY, SO, UH-HUH? OUR EVENTS PAGE. OUR EVENTS PAGE, IT'LL
DIRECT THEM TO THEIR LINK. SO GET OUT THERE, GET
REGISTERED. IT'S COMPLETELY FREE, BUT WE JUST NEED TO
HAVE KIND OF A HEAD COUNT SO WE KNOW HOW TO DO SET UP IN
HERE. AMEN? ALL RIGHT, WELL, IT IS OFFERING TIME, AND SO
THEY'RE GONNA GET OUR SCRIPTURE READY. LET ME JUST
SAY A COUPLE THINGS. WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF FEAST
OF TABERNACLES. IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, I TALKED
ABOUT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES AND WHY THESE
GIVING SEASONS ARE SO IMPORTANT. GOD DIRECTED
ISRAEL TO THREE TIMES A YEAR, DEUTERONOMY 16:16, HE
SAID, "THOSE ARE TIMES THAT YOU ARE NOT TO COME BEFORE
GOD EMPTY, "THAT YOU ARE TO BRING HIM AN OFFERING." AND
IT ISN'T BECAUSE GOD IS SAYING, YOU KNOW, I JUST
WANT YOUR MONEY. GOD WAS SAYING, GIVE A SPECIAL
OFFERING TO MARK THAT MOMENT. SO IF ANYBODY EVER
TELLS YOU, WELL, CAN YOU GIVE AN OFFERING FOR
SOMETHING SPECIFIC, OR CAN YOU NAME YOUR HARVEST?
THERE'S MANY EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE WHERE WE CAN DO THAT.
BUT THESE WERE TIMES WHEN GOD TOLD ISRAEL, MARK THESE
MOMENTS BECAUSE THEY WERE POINTING TO WHAT JESUS WOULD
DO, RIGHT? PASSOVER, SOMEBODY SAY PASSOVER.
THAT'S THE SPRING FEAST SEASON. AND THAT JESUS
ALREADY FULFILLED THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE SUMMER FEAST, WHICH IS PENTECOST.
SOMEBODY SAY PENTECOST. PENTECOST IS THE TIME WHEN
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO LIVE IN US, RIGHT? THAT THE WORD
OF GOD IS NO LONGER WRITTEN ON TABLES OF STONE, BUT IT'S
WRITTEN UPON OUR HEART. AND SO AREN'T YOU THANKFUL FOR
THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIFE? AND HE LIVES AND
RESIDES IN YOU AND TELLS YOU, STOP TALKING LIKE THAT.
DON'T DO THAT OR DO THIS OR GO THERE. THANK GOD WE HAVE
THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN US. SO THAT IS THE SUMMER FEAST
OF PENTECOST. GOD SAID TO MARK THAT. AND THEN THE FALL
FEAST, WHICH IS THE DAY OF ATONEMENT AND TABERNACLES,
WHICH IS RUNNING ALL THIS PAST WEEK, ACCORDING TO THE
HEBREW CALENDAR. AND THE REASON THAT TABERNACLES IS
IMPORTANT AND REALLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEASTS IS
BECAUSE IT IS THE ONE FEAST JESUS HAS YET TO
MEMORIALIZE, HE'S YET TO FULFILL BECAUSE IT POINTS TO
HIS SECOND COMING. WE ARE TO REMEMBER HIS DEATH AND
RESURRECTION, WE ARE TO REMEMBER THE COMING OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND WE ARE TO PREPARE OR LIVE IN A PLACE
OF SPIRITUAL READINESS FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS
CHRIST. NOW WE KNOW THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS ON THE
TIMELINE OF THE BIBLICAL CALENDAR THAT HAVE TO TAKE
PLACE, BUT THE BIBLE STILL TEACHES THAT IN EVERY SINGLE
DAY OF OUR LIFE WE ARE TO LIVE READY. THAT'S WHAT
TABERNACLES WERE. ISRAEL WAS TO BUILD THESE LITTLE HUTS,
BUILD THESE LITTLE HOUSES AND GO OUT AND BE IN A PLACE
WHERE THEY WERE READY TO MEET OR RECEIVE THEIR
MESSIAH. OF COURSE WE KNOW BIBLICALLY THAT ISRAEL WAS
BLINDED IN PART SO THAT THE GENTILES COULD COME IN. AND
BY THE WAY, ANYBODY, THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT
REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY RIGHT NOW REGARDING ISRAEL, THAT
THE CHURCH REPLACED OLD TESTAMENT. ALL YOU HAVE TO
DO, IF YOU WANT TO FIX THAT, GO BACK AND READ ROMANS 9
THROUGH 10 AND 11, ALL THOSE CHAPTERS IN ROMANS. THE
BIBLE SAYS, "DON'T GET COCKY, YOU'RE JUST THE
BRANCH, OR YOU ARE THE BRANCH THAT'S BEEN ENGRAFTED
INTO THE VINE." IF GOD CAN CUT OFF THE VINE, HE CAN CUT
YOU OFF, SO YOU ARE JUST PART OF THE ORIGINAL, AND IF
GOD CAN CAUSE THE ORIGINAL TO BE BLINDED SO YOU COULD
COME IN, HE CAN BRING THE ORIGINAL BACK IN. AND GOD
SAID THAT HE WILL DO THAT. THERE WILL BE A TIME OF THE
AWAKENING OF ISRAEL TO THEIR MESSIAH, JESUS CHRIST. AND
SO THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY. WE ARE PART OF THE
ONE TREE THAT IS ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN JESUS CHRIST.
COME ON, SOMEBODY SHOUT AMEN TO THAT. AND SO, BUT
TABERNACLES IS OUR PLACE OF SPIRITUAL READINESS. I THINK
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEASTS THAT WE SOW
AND GIVE INTO, AND GOD SAID GIVE AN OFFERING AT THAT
TIME SO THAT YOU WOULD BE REMINDING YOURSELF. AND I
WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR LIFE
AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, LORD, ARE THERE THINGS I
NEED TO PREPARE MY HOUSE BETTER THAT I NEED TO
TABERNACLE? AND AS I GIVE MY SEED TODAY, I'M ASKING YOU
TO SHOW ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO PREPARE MYSELF FOR JESUS'
SOON RETURN. AND THAT'S THE COMMAND OF SCRIPTURE. YEAH,
THERE'S THINGS THAT NEED TO LINE UP FOR HIS COMING, BUT
ALL OF REVELATION, THE VERY LAST CHAPTER, THREE TIMES
JESUS SAID, "BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY." SO WE NEED TO BE
IN A PLACE WHERE WE ARE PREPARED. SO I WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY, LET THAT BE YOUR MINDSET ON YOUR
SEED AS YOU GIVE YOUR TABERNACLES OFFERING THIS
WEEK. THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE YET TO DO IT OR MAYBE YOU
WANT TO ADD TO IT OR WHATEVER, AND OF COURSE
THERE'S OFFERING ENVELOPES ON THE CHAIRS FOR ALL OF YOU
THAT NEED THOSE OR UP IN THE SEATS. AND LET ME JUST DRAW
ATTENTION BEFORE, THIS IS THE THING I LOVE ABOUT GOD.
WHENEVER HE TELLS US TO GIVE, IF HE TELLS US TO
TITHE, HE TELLS US TO GIVE AN OFFERING, HE SAYS MARK
THESE THREE TIMES A YEAR AND ADD AN OFFERING TO IT.
ANYTIME GOD DOES THAT, YOU KNOW, GOD NEVER DOES IT TO
PUT HARDSHIP ON YOU. SEE, THE WORLD WILL TELL YOU, OH,
BUT IF YOU GIVE TO THAT CHURCH AGAIN, OR YOU SOW
AGAIN, WELL, WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT TO GIVE TO GOD AGAIN,
RIGHT? WE ALWAYS SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO
BE GIVERS, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT JUST A ONE AND DONE OR
ONCE IN A WHILE. GOD TEACHES US TO HAVE A REGULAR
LIFESTYLE AND HABIT OF GIVING. BUT HERE'S WHAT I
LOVE ABOUT GOD. GOD ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAS A PROMISE
CONNECTED TO IT. NOW THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ON THE
MAILING LIST WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THESE EIGHT BLESSINGS
OF FEAST GIVING. ANYBODY GET THIS IN THE MAIL? DID YOU
GET IT IN THE MAIL ALREADY? I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, KEEP
A COPY OF IT IN YOUR BIBLE, AND DURING THESE FEAST
TIMES, CLAIM THOSE THINGS. THIS IS EXODUS 23. I'M GONNA
READ IT TO YOU REAL FAST. ARE YOU READY? USHERS, WHY
DON'T YOU BEGIN TO GIVE OUT OFFERING ENVELOPES FOR
PEOPLE? THEY CAN PUT THIS, THE GIVING INFORMATION ON
THE SCREEN. BUT THIS IS WHAT GOD SAID HE'LL DO DURING
FEAST GIVING SPECIFICALLY. PASSOVER, PENTECOST,
TABERNACLES. TABERNACLES IS WHERE WE ARE NOW. EXODUS
23:20, GOD SAID HE'LL RELEASE ANGELS. HOW MANY OF
YOU WANT ANGELIC ACTIVITY IN YOUR LIFE? THE SECOND HE
SAID, I'LL BRING YOU TO THE PLACE I PREPARED. IN OTHER
WORDS, HE'LL GUIDE YOU TO YOUR PURPOSE. I LOVE THAT
PART. AMEN, YOU KNOW WHY I DON'T, 28 YEARS WE'RE STILL
PASTORING LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH 'CAUSE IT WAS OUR
PURPOSE. AND GOD GUIDES YOU TO YOUR PURPOSE. BEFORE WE
STARTED THE CHURCH, WE WANDERED, WE DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. BUT WHEN GOD PLANTS YOU IN
YOUR PURPOSE, THAT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THAT. THAT IS A
GREAT PLACE TO BE. EXODUS 23:22, HE SAID, GOD WILL
DELIVER YOU FROM THE ENEMY'S PLANS. HE SAID, I'LL BE AN
ENEMY TO YOUR ENEMIES. WOO, THAT MEANS GOD WILL DEFEND
YOU. PSALM 20 SAYS THAT, THAT GOD WILL BE YOUR
DEFENSE. GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU FINANCIALLY. COME
ON, EVERYBODY SHOULD SAY AMEN TO THAT. 'CAUSE HE SAID
IN VERSE 25, "I'LL BLESS YOUR BREAD AND YOUR WATER."
HE ALSO SAID, "AS ONE OF THE RESULTS OF FEAST BLESSING,
"I'LL HEAL YOU, I'LL TAKE SICKNESS AWAY FROM YOU." HE
ALSO SAID THAT, "NONE SHALL BE BARREN," EXODUS 23:26.
THAT YOU WILL BE FRUITFUL, WHETHER THAT BE THE NATURAL,
YOU'RE GIVING BIRTH TO CHILDREN, OR YOU'RE
BELIEVING TO HAVE CHILDREN, OR FRUITFUL IN YOUR
SPIRITUAL LIFE. HE SAID ALSO, AND THIS IS A HUGE
ONE, IT SAYS, VERSE 26, "THE NUMBER OF YOUR DAYS I WILL
FULFILL." IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WILL HAVE LONG LIFE. AND
THE LAST ONE HE SAID, "YOU WILL HAVE INFLUENCE AND
FAVOR. "I'LL SEND MY FEAR BEFORE YOU." EXODUS 23 AND
27. THESE ARE THESE EIGHT BLESSINGS. SO I ENCOURAGE
YOU, CLAIM THOSE, KEEP A COPY. I HOLD THAT UP
WHENEVER I GIVE MY FEAST GIVING AND I CLAIM IT AND I
SAY, "GOD, I'M BELIEVING." AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I AM
CONVINCED OF SOMETHING. I'M CONVINCED THAT THERE ARE
THINGS IN OUR LIVES THAT JUST PASSES US BY. I'VE TOLD
GOD MANY, MANY TIMES, I SAID, "LORD, I BELIEVE I'M
GOING TO GET TO HEAVEN ONE DAY, AND I'M GOING TO SEE
THINGS THAT NEVER EVEN CAME IN MY SPACE, THAT THE DEVIL
WANTED TO DO BUT COULDN'T." COME ON, THINK ABOUT IT.
PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME OR THAT
HAPPEN TO ME?" THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT DIDN'T
HAPPEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. AND YOU MIGHT BE UP
IN HEAVEN ONE DAY GOING, "WOW, THAT, I AVOIDED THAT.
GOD, THE ANGEL DID THAT AND AVOIDED THAT ACCIDENT. AND
THIS HAPPENED OVER HERE AND THAT COULDN'T COME IN AND
THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN. THE DEVIL WANTED TO ASSIGN IT,
BUT IT COULD NOT PROSPER BECAUSE THERE WAS A BARRIER
BY GOD." HALLELUJAH! I THINK ABOUT, AND GIVING
INFORMATION, YOU CAN PUT THAT BACK UP AND KEEP IT UP
ON THE SCREEN, I'LL SAY THIS LAST THING. I THINK ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE RAISING YOUNG CHILDREN
RIGHT NOW? AND YOU KNOW, YOUR CHILDREN, PASTOR
ANTHONY, YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS, YOU'VE GOT A HOUSE
FULL OF KIDS. YOUR CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE ONES,
HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE PROBABLY PROTECTED
THEM FROM HARM. THEY DON'T GET UP EVERY DAY AND GO,
"DAD, HOW'D YOU PROTECT ME TODAY?" THEY JUST KNOW, YOU
JUST DO IT. AND THEY MAY NEVER KNOW ALL THEIR LIFE
HOW MANY THINGS, DANGERS THAT WERE AVOIDED BECAUSE
THE PARENTS STEPPED IN. THAT IS OUR GOOD FATHER.
HALLELUJAH. AMEN. ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET ME JUST SAY THIS,
TEXT2GIVE MOBILE APP, WEBSITE, ENVELOPE. AND OF
COURSE, THERE'S A SPOT ON THERE FOR DAY OF ATONEMENT,
FEAST OF TABERNACLES GIVING. SO INTO THAT TODAY. IF
YOU'VE NOT DONE THAT YET, LET'S DO THAT. LET'S MARK
THIS MOMENT. I THINK WITH ALL THE RAPTURE TALK AND THE
THINGS OUT THERE, WE NEED TO SOW A SEED AND MARK THE
FEAST OF TABERNACLES. AMEN. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WHEN YOU
HAVE YOUR GIVING READY, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE IN THE
BUILDING CAN STAND. ALL OF YOU ONLINE CAN JOIN WITH US.
HOLD UP YOUR PHONE AND HOLD YOUR ENVELOPE, YOUR FEAST
ENVELOPE OR YOUR REGULAR ENVELOPE UP. HOLD UP YOUR
ELECTRONIC DEVICE IF YOU'RE GIVING THAT WAY AND WE'RE
GOING TO MAKE OUR DECLARATION IN JUST A
MOMENT. BUT LET ME PRAY THIS OVER YOU. FATHER, WE JUST
THANK YOU THAT ALL OF THE BLESSINGS OF FEAST GIVING
BELONG TO YOUR PEOPLE. WE CLAIM THEM. WE CLAIM THE
ANGELS. WE THANK YOU YOU'RE OUR DEFENSE. WE CLAIM
HEALING. WE CLAIM LONG LIFE. WE CLAIM FRUITFULNESS. WE
THANK YOU LORD THAT ALL OF THE BLESSINGS TO US AND WE
CLAIM THEM. AND FATHER, WE STAND ON THEM AND WE WILL
NOT DECLARE ANYTHING OPPOSITE FROM OUR MOUTH. SO
FATHER, AS YOU SEE THESE SEEDS IN OUR HAND TODAY,
COME ON, HOLD YOUR SEAT UP. MARK IT IN YOUR MIND FOR A
MOMENT. MARK IT IN YOUR MIND FOR A MOMENT. IN FACT, SAY
THIS, SAY, LORD, YOU SEE THIS SEED, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M
BELIEVING FOR. YOU KNOW, I NEED ANGELS. YOU KNOW, I
NEED HEALING. YOU KNOW, I NEED PROVISION, LONG LIFE,
DIRECTION, FRUITFULNESS. I NEED YOU TO BE MY DEFENSE.
GOD, THIS SEED REPRESENTS ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND I
CLAIM THOSE BLESSINGS AS MINE IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME.
COME ON, SHOUT AMEN. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, I BELIEVE IT.
PRAISE THE LORD, ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU READY TO DO OUR
DECREE TOGETHER? HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE THE DECREE
MEMORIZED? YOU GOT IT MEMORIZED? ALL RIGHT, DON'T
JUST RECITE IT, RIGHT? IN FACT, KATIE, RUN UP HERE,
HELP ME DO THIS TODAY. GIVE A HAND TO CADEN'S HAIR. HER
PARENTS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO CANADA. RUN, CADENCE, RUN.
SHE'S GOING TO HELP ME DO THIS. SOMEBODY HAND HER A
MICROPHONE. UNKIE HANK'S GOT THE MIC, BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO WORK IT, BUT THAT'S OKAY. THERE YOU GO. GET
READY TO COME OVER, PASTOR HANK. ARE YOU READY TO DO
THE DECREE WITH ME? CAN YOU DO IT EXTRA LOUD? ALL RIGHT,

FINANCES NEEDED FOR THE LORD IS BUILDING THIS HOUSE. WE
HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EXCESS AND OVERFLOW. LORD, YOU ARE
PROVIDING SEED TO THE SOWER. WE CALL UPON YOU, LORD OF
HOSTS, TO BRING FORTH HEAVENLY ASSISTANCE AND
RAISE UP MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE THAT SHALL GIVE
ABUNDANTLY TO THIS WORK. WE PROPHESIED THAT WE SHALL
QUADRUPLE, QUADRUPLE, AND THEN WE WILL QUADRUPLE
AGAIN. WE DECLARE NEW THINGS NOW. WE DECREE MINISTRY AND
CAMPUS BE EXPANDED NOW. COME ON, GIVE GOD A GREAT BIG
SHOUT AS HE HAS SERVED YOU. - WAIT A MINUTE. SO, CADENCE,
THE WHOLE WORLD OUT THERE, THEY'RE WATCHING. WHO IS YOUR
FAVORITE UNCLE? - YOU.
- THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I'M HER FAVORITE UNCLE.
- AND HE'S YOUR ONLY UNCLE. - NO, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY
THAT. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT. ALL RIGHT, SO DID YOU HEAR
THE THING I SAID ABOUT ANGEL? WHICH ONE WOULD YOU WANT
TO MEET, GABRIEL OR MICHAEL? - GABRIEL.
GABRIEL. YOU KNOW WHAT PASTOR BRENDA SAID? SHE SAID, "HANK,
I THINK I HAVE... YOU ARE BOTH. YOU ARE GABRIEL AND MICHAEL.
I'D LIKE TO MEET BOTH OF THEM." - I SAID, WELL, HOW AM I BOTH?
SHE SAID, "WELL, YOU BRING A LOT OF ANNOUNCEMENTS TO ME LIKE
GABRIEL, RIGHT?" RIGHT, A LOT OF ANNOUNCEMENTS. AND SHE SAYS,
"BUT YOU HAVE THE PHYSIQUE AND THE MUSCLES OF MICHAEL
THE ANGEL." - I DON'T EXACTLY REMEMBER IT
EXACTLY LIKE THAT. - YOU DON'T REMEMBER SAYING IT
LIKE THAT? WELL, IT'LL COME BACK TO YOU AT SOME POINT THERE. SO
ANYWAY, LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR CADENCE. CADENCE, I LOVE YOU.
DIDN'T SHE DO A GREAT JOB? ALL RIGHT, ARE THE USHERS USHING?
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED. DID YOU ALL FIGURE OUT WHICH
ONE? HOW MANY OF YOU SAID MICHAEL? THOSE OF YOU THAT
ARE WATCHING, DID YOU SAY MICHAEL OR RAISE YOUR HAND,
LIFT YOUR, HOW MANY OF YOU SAID GABRIEL? REALLY? OKAY,
WHY GABRIEL? I MEAN, GABRIEL, LISTEN, WE DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU LIKE
THE GABRIEL, YOU LIKE, 'CAUSE OF WHY?
OH, YOU LIKE BOTH. OKAY, WELL, THERE YOU GO. WE'LL
JUST SAY BOTH, ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'RE GONNA
GET INTO THE WORD HERE, AND THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD
SUBJECT HERE. I WANT YOU TO OPEN YOUR BIBLES TO LUKE
CHAPTER 12. AND I WANNA JUST START, AS YOU'RE OPENING
YOUR BIBLES, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AS WELL,
FOR YOU, JESUS SAID OVER 15 TIMES IN THE SCRIPTURE
SOMETHING THAT HE WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE WITH
NATURAL EARS. SO EVERYBODY, TOUCH YOUR EAR. HOW MANY OF
YOU DID YOUR GRANDPARENTS USED TO PULL YOU BY YOUR
EAR? MOM, GRANDPA USED TO DO THAT, HE'D PULL BY THE EAR.
SO, NOT YOUR DAD, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, HE WAS, MAN,
HE'D PULL ME BY THE EAR, I'D BE LIKE, OH MY GOSH, SO IF I
HAVE A LARGE EAR ON THIS SIDE, IT'S BECAUSE HE PULLED
ON MY EAR TOO MUCH. BUT ANYWAY, JESUS WAS TALKING TO
PEOPLE THAT HAD NATURAL EARS. SO I'M NOT ASKING YOU
TO HEAR WRONG TODAY. I'M ASKING YOU TO HEAR RIGHT,
ACCURATELY. JESUS SPOKE
THESE WORDS, THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR, HEAR, LET THEM
HEAR, HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SAYING. SO YOU
GOTTA HEAR WITH THE SPIRITUAL EAR. NOW, I WANNA
SAY THIS BEFORE I START. I AM NOT SAYING THAT WE ARE TO
HATE ON PEOPLE. I AM GIVING NO LICENSE TO HATE
ACCOMPANIED WITH VIOLENCE, RIGHT, MISTREATMENT. I'M NOT
SAYING THAT WE, WITH OUR HATE, NOW MISTREAT PEOPLE,
ACT UGLY, BE RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, RIGHT? SO
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT HATING PEOPLE. NOW, DO YOU
KNOW THAT GOD LOVES EVERYBODY? FOR GOD SO LOVED
THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, BUT HE
DOES HATE THE WICKED. THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS. HE HATES THEIR
ACTIONS. HE HATES CERTAIN THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE
DOING, THEY STAND FOR. NOW YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE
DEFINITION OF HATE. WHEN THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT HATE IN
THE HEBREW ESPECIALLY, IT USES A WORD IN THE HEBREW
PRETTY CONSISTENTLY, WHICH IS THE WORD S-A-N-E, SANE.
AND IT LITERALLY IS A SEED, IT MEANS A SEED, BUT WITH A
THORN ON IT, OKAY? AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT HURTS. SO
WHEN GOD HATES SOMETHING, IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS
PRICKED HIS HEART. SOMETHING THAT HE, AND THE DEFINITION
OF IT IS, THERE'S DISPLEASURE, HE'LL TURN
AWAY. HE FINDS IT REPULSIVE. OTHER TRANSLATION IS
ABOMINATION. IT'S A STENCH. HE DOESN'T LIKE IT, IT
DOESN'T SMELL GOOD. HE'S NOT GOING TO, NO MATTER HOW MUCH
YOU TRY TO CONVINCE HIM, HE IS NOT GONNA GO AND ACCEPT
IT. IF HE SAYS, THIS IS ABOMINATION, I HATE IT, IT'S
A STENCH. SO WHEN GOD SAYS SOMETHING AND HE HATES
SOMETHING, IT LITERALLY MEANS HE TURNS AWAY FROM IT,
IT'S REPULSIVE, HE REJECTS IT, RIGHT? AND IF A PERSON
GETS CAUGHT UP IN SUCH INIQUITY LIKE HITLER, GOD
HATES THAT WICKEDNESS, AND HE HATES THE INDIVIDUAL
THAT'S DOING THIS. TO THE POINT WHERE, NOW, IF THEY
REPENTED, THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. BUT WHEN THEY'RE
BENT ON EVIL, HE SAID THERE'S A PLACE FOR THOSE
KIND OF PEOPLE, THE WICKED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. SO I
WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING TODAY. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT A SHIFT CHANGE IN THE EARTH. AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO, IF WE'RE GONNA SHIFT WITH
GOD, AND WE'RE GOING TO REALLY COME INTO WHAT HE
WANTS, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WE HAVE TO BE
PEOPLE THEN THAT ARE WILLING TO CHANGE. AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT GOD'S THRONE IS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE,
IT'S HIS FOUNDATION. BUT IN THE EARTH, I CAN'T EVEN
PREACH THIS MESSAGE TO YOU AND TO YOU THAT ARE
WATCHING, UNLESS YOU HAVE A BIBLICAL FOUNDATION OF
SOMETHING. IT'S CALLED LOVE AND HONOR. NOW LOVE IS NOT
TOLERANCE. LOVE IS NOT ACCEPTING ANYTHING AND
EVERYTHING. LOVE IS ALSO TO BE DISCERNING. YOU'RE TO BE
JEALOUS FOR GOD. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IF GOD LOVES
SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS. IF HE HATES
SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT IS, AND SIDE WITH
GOD. IF GOD SAYS, "THIS IS WHAT HONOR IS," THEN WE NEED
TO NOT DISHONOR IT. FOR EXAMPLE, GOD HONORED
MANKIND, AND HE MADE THEM INTO GENDERS, MALE, FEMALE.
BUT GOD HATES WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH HIS IMAGE. AND THE
REASON HE HATES IT, HE DOESN'T HATE THOSE PEOPLE,
HE HATES THE DISHONOR OF CALLING SOMETHING DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT HE CREATED. IT IS THE LUCIFERIAN SPIRIT. YOU
SAY, WELL, HOW IS THAT? WHEN LUCIFER WAS IN HEAVEN,
SATAN, HE WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL, THE BIBLE
SAYS. HE WAS DECKED OUT IN RUBIES. HE WAS DECKED OUT IN
ORNAMENTS. BUT WHEN HE FELL, ALL OF THAT WAS STRIPPED AND
EVEN HIS OWN NATURE WAS CHANGED. SO THE DEVIL IS
MAD. HE DOESN'T LIKE MANKIND. HE DOESN'T LIKE
ANYTHING MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE. SO WHAT DOES HE DO?
HE COMES DOWN AND HE LITERALLY CAUSES PEOPLE TO
CHOOSE TO TRANSFORM OR CHANGE HOW THEY ARE, THEIR
GENDER, RIGHT? THEY'RE MALE, CHANGE IT TO FEMALE. OKAY,
WELL, THAT'S DISHONOR. GOD DOESN'T LIKE THAT, OKAY?
JESUS ONLY DESCRIBED WHAT MARRIAGE LOOKS LIKE. IT'S
THE ONLY THING HE SAID. HE NEVER SAID IT WAS, MARRIAGE
IS DEFINED BETWEEN TWO MEN. HE NEVER SAID MARRIAGE IN
THE BOOK OF MATTHEW IS DEFINED BY TWO WOMEN. HE
SAID GOD CREATED MALE AND FEMALE. THAT'S HONOR AND
THAT'S WHAT GOD LOVES. AND HE SAYS, AND IT'S TO BE
BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PROCREATING. TWO MEN CAN'T PROCREATE, TWO WOMEN CAN'T
PROCREATE. RIGHT, IT'S A NO-BRAINER. SO TO SAY THAT
YOU DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT I JUST SAID, IF SOMEONE
CHOOSES TO NOT SIDE WITH WHAT GOD HONORS, IS TO BE
HATEFUL OR TO BE ANGRY, A BIGOT. NO, WHAT YOU'RE DOING
IS YOU'RE SIDING WITH GOD. AND REALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING
IS YOU'RE LOVING WHAT GOD LOVES, YOU'RE HATING WHAT HE
HATES. NOW, TODAY, IF YOU OPPOSE ANYTHING, GOD SAID
BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN IN THE MOTHER'S WOMB, I FORMED YOU,
I KNEW YOU. SO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO MURDER A BABY AND
GIVE NO CHOICE TO THE CHILD IN THE WOMB, BUT IT'S ALL
ABOUT THE WOMAN'S CHOICE, IS NOT LOVING WHAT GOD LOVES
AND HATING WHAT HE HATES. SO IT'S NOT HATING THAT PERSON,
IT'S HATING THE ACT AND THE CHOICE TO TAKE A LIFE,
ESPECIALLY WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CHOICE. IT
WAS YOUR CHOICE TO GET IN BED WITH SOMEBODY AND TO
HAVE THAT BABY. AND IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DO THAT,
YOU NEED TO OWN YOUR DECISION. ARE YOU LISTENING?
SO IF YOU OPPOSE THINGS, OKAY, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
BORDER. WELL, PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO COME ACROSS.
THAT'S WHAT AMERICA IS. WELL, THE REASON WHY AMERICA
IS THE MELTING POT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE IMMIGRATED
HERE. MANY OF YOUR RELATIVES DID, RIGHT? AND, BUT THE
PROBLEM IS BECAUSE IT'S NOT DONE HONORABLY AND IT'S DONE
WITH DISHONOR, IT'S CALLED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, RIGHT?
ILLEGAL MEANS ILLEGAL. IF SOMETHING IS ILLEGAL, IT
MEANS IT'S NOT PERMITTED, IT'S NOT ALLOWED. THERE'S A
LAW. THERE'S AN ORDER TO THE BORDER, RIGHT? COME THE
RIGHT WAY, COME LEGALLY. THERE'S NO ISSUE IN
IMMIGRATION. THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 7,
"WIDE IS THE ROAD." IF YOU JUST HAVE AN OPEN BORDER,
OPEN MIND, ANYTHING GOES BECAUSE HE GETS US. JESUS
TOLD US, "DON'T BE DUMB." HE SAID, "IF YOU HAVE THAT OPEN
MINDED ANYTHING GOES MENTALITY, OR YOU JUST OPEN
YOUR HOUSE, OPEN YOUR BORDERS, OPEN IT UP TO
ANYTHING, IT'S GOING TO LEAD TO DESTRUCTION." WE'RE
SEEING THAT IN OUR COUNTRY. BUT IT'S NOT HATING PEOPLE.
YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING OVER, BUT YOU'RE NOT
LOVING THE FACT OF HOW IT'S BEING DONE. BECAUSE WHAT'S
HAPPENED IS IT'S SHIFTED OUR COUNTRY FROM AMERICA FIRST
TO NOW, HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF 20, 30 MILLION PEOPLE WHO
DIDN'T COME HERE LEGALLY, THAT HUMANITARIAN COMPASSION
THAT AMERICA HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR HAS TO FIND A WAY TO
HELP THEM. BUT YOU CAN'T AT THE EXPENSE OF DISHONOR AND
IGNORING THE PEOPLE WHO PAY TAXES AND HAVE EARNED THE
RIGHT LEGALLY TO BE HERE. SO IF YOU OPPOSE ANY OF THESE
THINGS, THERE'S PEOPLE WHO THINK, WELL, YOU'RE HATING.
YOU'RE JUST SO ANGRY, RIGHT? AND HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURE. IT SAYS YOU
CAN BE ANGRY. EPHESIANS 4:20, BUT YOU'RE NOT TO SIN
WITH ANGER. WHEN PEOPLE ARE RUDE, OBNOXIOUS, ON SOCIAL
MEDIA, ARGUE, FIGHT, CALL EACH OTHER NAMES, MISBEHAVE,
THEN GO TO THE ACT OF CRIME OR SIN, THEN IT CROSSES THE
LINE. IT'S NO LONGER THAT YOU DETEST SOMETHING, LIKE
THE DEFINITION OF HATE IS, YOU REJECT SOMETHING OR YOU
TURN AWAY FROM SOMETHING. NOW YOU'VE TAKEN IT TO THE
NEXT STEP. YOU ARE DOING WHAT JESUS SAID WHEN IT
COMES TO A PERSON. YOU ARE NOT TO HAVE EYE FOR AN EYE,
A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A
DISCUSSION WITH A TRANSGENDER, A HOMOSEXUAL,
THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE ONE WITH US, WITHOUT IT
CROSSING THE LINE OF SIN, CRIME, MURDER, MISTREATMENT,
VIOLENCE. THAT'S WHEN IT CROSSES THE LINE. BUT WHAT
THEY WANT TO DO IS NOT NECESSARILY THEM, BUT JUST
PEOPLE, AND THE CULTURE IS MAKE EVERYTHING TOLERANT,
YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING, OR YOU'RE
NOT IN LOVE. OKAY, LET'S BREAK THIS DOWN. IS THAT A
GOOD WAY TO OPEN IT UP? ALL RIGHT, NOW LOOK AT LUKE
CHAPTER 12. JESUS IS TALKING TO HIS DISCIPLES AND SAYS,
"DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT I'VE ONLY COME TO THIS EARTH "TO
MAKE EVERYTHING SKIPPITY-DOO-DA-DAY, "THE
BARE NECESSITIES, RIGHT? "THAT I'VE COME JUST TO GIVE
PEACE ON THE EARTH? "I TELL YOU, NO, I HAVE NOT. "I'VE
COME TO BRING DIVISION." LET'S KEEP TALKING. "FROM
HERE ON, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE "THAT THERE'S GONNA BE FIVE
IN ONE HOUSE, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE DIVIDED. THREE
AGAINST TWO, TWO AGAINST THREE, AND IT CONTINUES. AND
THE FATHER SHALL BE DIVIDED AGAINST THE SON, THE SON
AGAINST THE FATHER, THE MOTHER AGAINST THE DAUGHTER,
THE DAUGHTER AGAINST THE MOTHER, THE MOTHER-IN-LAW
AGAINST THE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, AND THE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW. HE SAID TO THE PEOPLE, WHY
IS IT THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT A CLOUD AND IT RISES UP OUT
OF THE WEST, YOU SAY, HEY MAN, IT'S GONNA RAIN. HOW IS
IT THAT YOU CAN DISCERN THESE THINGS, VERSE 55, BUT
YOU SAY THE WIND BLOWS AND THERE'S GONNA BE HEAT AND IT
COMES TO PASS, BUT YOU CAN DISCERN THESE THINGS, BUT
YOU CANNOT DISCERN, YOU HYPOCRITES, THE TIME. THIS
IS THE TIME OF DIVISION RIGHT NOW. SOME OF IT HAS
BEEN BY THE ENEMY. HE'S TRYING TO CREATE DIVISION.
HE'S TRYING TO CREATE HATE, ANGER WITH CRIME, CHAOS,
VIOLENCE, MURDER, RIGHT? AND TOLERANCE. GOD IS TRYING TO
DIVIDE SAYING IT'S A TIME WHERE I'M DIVIDING LIGHT
FROM DARKNESS, GOOD FROM EVIL. THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE
PEOPLE TODAY, AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, THAT CAN'T
DISCERN WHAT'S GOOD ANYMORE. (CONGREGATION MURMURS)
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN LIED TO. THEY CAN'T DISCERN
ANYMORE WHAT'S EVIL. THEY CALL EVIL GOOD, AND THEY
CALL GOOD EVIL. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HOLY ANYMORE,
AND WHAT'S PROFANE. I AM AMAZED OF CONVERSATIONS WITH
CHRISTIANS, OR WATCHING PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
CHRISTIANS, WHAT THEY ENDORSE. AND I'M LIKE, DON'T
YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF MORAL FIBER? DON'T YOU HAVE ANY
DISCERNMENT? WELL, THE REASON THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
MORAL FIBER AND DISCERNMENT IS BECAUSE HEBREWS 5 SAYS
THAT PEOPLE ARE UNSKILLFUL. THEY'RE UNDISCERNING IF ALL
THEY'RE DOING IS GETTING MILK. AND WHEN THE
USER-FRIENDLY MOVEMENT CAME TO THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, WHERE PREACHERS BECAME WUSSES, AND BEGAN TO
BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT VISITORS AND PEOPLE, EVEN
THOUGH WE SHOULD, AND HOW YOU FEEL AND YOUR FEELINGS,
AND I GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT YOU LIKE ME, AND I GOTTA
MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU LIKE ME, THAT YOU KEEP TITHING SO
THAT WE CAN PAY FOR THE BUILDING, THE LIGHTS, THE
TOILET PAPER. SO I'M BASICALLY GONNA GIVE YOU A
MILK MUSTACHE AND A DIAPER EVERY TIME YOU COME TO
CHURCH, 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO OFFEND YOU. AND WHAT
HAPPENED IS IT BROUGHT A SOFTNESS AND A TOLERANCE AND
A DECEPTION IN THE CHURCH SO THAT WHEN COVID HIT IN 2020,
PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT A MASK WOULD ACTUALLY WORK AND THAT
YOU COULD GO SIT BY SOMEBODY ON A PLANE AND TAKE IT OFF
TO EAT A PRETZEL AND COVID IS NEUTRALIZED. I MEAN, ARE
WE THIS DUMB? ARE WE THIS STUPID? SIX FEET APART AND
YET YOU'RE ON THE PLANE? I MEAN, COME ON. WE HAD
EXACTLY BECAUSE OF THIS TOLERANCE, WE GOTTA LIKE
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY'S GOTTA LIKE US, RIGHT, CAN'T WE
JUST GET ALONG? I GET IT. I'M NOT HERE TO CREATE
DIVISION AND BRING HOSTILITY, BUT I'M HERE TO
BRING ORDER. I'M HERE TO BRING TRUTH. SO JESUS SAID,
HOW CAN YOU DISCERN? LET'S LOOK AT VERSE 57. HE SAID,
LOOK, MAN, HERE'S THE PROBLEM. IN VERSE 57, HE
SAID, IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE, WHY EVEN OF
YOURSELVES, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO JUDGE WHAT'S
RIGHT. THAT IS WHERE OUR SOCIETY IS TODAY AND
CHRISTIANS, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO JUDGE ANYMORE
WHAT'S RIGHT. AND SO THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW
TO JUDGE WHAT'S RIGHT WHEN SOMEBODY COMES WHO ARE IN
SIN OR DECEPTION OR CONFUSION OR POSSESSION OR
THEY'RE CONTROLLED BY A DEMON SPIRIT, WE DO NOT HAVE
AN ANSWER ACCORDING TO 1 PETER 3:15. THE BIBLE SAYS
IN 1 PETER 3, WE SHOULD ALWAYS KNOW HOW TO GIVE AN
ANSWER FOR THE HOPE WITHIN US, BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN
ANSWER. SO WE GET INTO ARGUMENTS, WE GET INTO
STRIFE, WE GET INTO DIVISION, FINGER POINTING,
FIST PUNCHING, CALLING NAMES, RIGHT? SOCIAL MEDIA
KEYBOARD WARRIORS. (CONGREGATION CHEERING) NOW
LET'S GO TO JOHN CHAPTER THREE. LOOK AT WHAT JESUS
SAID. I GOTTA MOVE QUICKLY. JESUS SAID SOMETHING
REGARDING THIS DIVISION. AND HE TALKED TO US, "FOR GOD SO
LOVED THE WORLD." SO HE LOVES EVERYBODY. AND HE GAVE
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, "THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM
SHOULD NOT GO TO HELL, "BUT WILL HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
IN HEAVEN." LOOK AT, KEEP GOING. WE'RE GONNA READ ALL
THE WAY TO VERSE 21. "FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO
THE WORLD "TO CONDEMN THE WORLD." SO GOD'S NOT OUT
CONDEMNING ANYONE. "BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT
BE SAVED." HE'S THE ANSWER. "AND HE THAT BELIEVES ON HIM
IS NOT CONDEMNED." BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO REJECT AND TO
HATE WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE,
GENDER, LIFE IN THE WOMB, THE NARROW ROAD THAT HAS
ORDER TO A BORDER, AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. ALL
RIGHT, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION
THAT LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD AND MEN LOVE DARKNESS
RATHER THAN LIGHT. IF YOU REJECT IT, THE BIBLE SAYS
YOU'RE ALREADY CONDEMNED BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS ARE
EVIL. FOR EVERYONE THAT DOES EVIL, YOU HATE THE LIGHT.
REALLY WHAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
DEMONS THAT ARE USING PEOPLE TO HATE THE LIGHT. BUT IF
YOU, LIKE JESUS SAID, AS CHRISTIANS, PUT YOUR LIGHT
UNDERNEATH THE BUSHEL AND YOU HIDE IT SO THAT YOU
DON'T OFFEND ANYBODY AND YOU DON'T SPEAK UP TO YOUR
RELATIVES AND SHOW THEM, BECAUSE AFTER ALL, JESUS SAT
WITH SINNERS. THERE'S A WHOLE SERMON ON THAT. FIRST
OF ALL, YOU'RE NOT JESUS. AND YOU AREN'T CARRYING THE
SAME POSITIONAL AUTHORITY AND ASSIGNMENT IN THE EARTH
AS HE DID. AND WHEN HE DID SIT WITH SINNERS, HE DIDN'T
BECOME LIKE 'EM. HE DIDN'T HIDE HIS LIGHT. HE DIDN'T
CONDONE THEIR SIN. HE TOLD THEM MANY TIMES, QUIT DOING
WHAT YOU'RE DOING. STOP IT. HE DIDN'T COMPLY. EVERYBODY
KNEW WHERE HE STOOD ON ISSUES. OKAY, YOU NEVER SAY
HE SAT WITH SINNERS, BUT THEY NEVER SAID HE BECAME
LIKE THEM. THE PROBLEM IS TOO MANY PEOPLE BECOME LIKE
THEM. YOU DON'T HAVE LIGHT ANYMORE, YOU HAVE SHADOW.
YOU HAVE GRAY. NEITHER DO THEY COME TO THE LIGHT LEST
HIS DEEDS BE APPROVED. NOW LOOK AT VERSE 21, BUT HE
THAT DOES TRUTH COMES TO THE LIGHT. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT, TRUTH. THAT HIS DEEDS MIGHT BE MADE
MANIFEST THAT THEY ARE WROUGHT IN GOD. NOW, I WANNA
SHOW YOU THIS. LET'S GO TO MATTHEW 22. LET'S GO TO WHAT
JESUS SAID OF THE TWO COMMANDMENTS. JESUS SAID, IN
VERSE 36, A LAWYER COMES AND THEY'RE TRYING TO TRAP HIM.
THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY, JESUS, YOU KNOW, DON'T YOU
ALWAYS JUST LOVE HOW THEY ALWAYS TRAP YOU, YOU KNOW,
TRY TO, YOU KNOW, GET YOU TO TRIP UP, RIGHT? MAKE YOU SAY
SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T SAY. AND THIS LAWYER COMES AND
SAYS, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? AND
NOTICE JESUS'S ANSWER. WE'RE GONNA READ ALL THE WAY TO
VERSE 40. JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, THOU SHALL LOVE THE
LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. SO YOU GOTTA HAVE THE
RIGHT HEART. WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND. HE
SAID, THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREATEST COMMANDMENT. NOW
LOOK AT VERSE 39. AND THE SECOND COMMANDMENT IS, YOU
SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. AND THEN HE SAID
THIS IN VERSE 40, THESE ARE THE TWO COMMANDMENTS THAT
ALL THE LAW ON THE PROPHETS, LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE, HONOR
GOD, HONOR PEOPLE. NOW LET'S PUT THE GRAPHIC OF THE 10
COMMANDMENTS UP THAT WE'VE BEEN SHOWING. NOW NOTICE
THIS, NUMBER ONE COMMANDMENT, THOU SHALL HAVE
NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. OKAY, IF YOU LOVE GOD,
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY ELSE
MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR GOD, CORRECT? THAT'S LOVE
AND THAT'S HONOR. THOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE,
OKAY? YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE, YOUR IMAGE, YOUR
SELFISH, RIGHT, IS NOT GONNA BECOME YOUR IDOL. YOU'RE NOT
GONNA LOVE THAT, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE MORE POSTS ABOUT
YOURSELF, AND CAN I TELL YOU, NOT EVERYTHING IN YOUR
LIFE HAS TO BE A SOCIAL MEDIA POST. CAN WE EVER HAVE
SOMETIMES JUST A PRIVACY ABOUT OUR LIVES? I'VE HAD
PEOPLE COME TO ME, "WELL, PASTOR HANK, "CAN YOU JUST
POST MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR LIFE?" I'M LIKE, "MY
LIFE IS ALREADY OUT THERE, "AND DEPENDING UPON WHO YOU
READ AND WHAT YOU READ, "EITHER YOU LIKE ME OR YOU
DON'T." I'M ALWAYS IN THE PUBLIC IMAGE. I HAVE TO LIVE
A PRIVATE LIFE. BELIEVE ME, THERE WAS A DAY I PRAYED, OH
GOD, USE ME, USE ME. YOU SAID THAT MY MINISTRY'S
GONNA GO ALL OVER THE WORLD. NOW I'M LIKE, CAN I JUST
PASTOR A SMALL LITTLE, NICE LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH WHERE
NOBODY KNOWS WHO I AM AND I'VE GOT JOHN BOY WALTON AND
LEAVE IT TO BEAVER WALLY. AND NO, I DON'T MEAN THAT,
I'M JUST SAYING. I REMEMBER BEING WITH JOEL OSTEEN, MAN,
I WOULD NOT WANNA HAVE, I REMEMBER JOEL TOLD ME, HE
SAID, HANK, HE GOES, I GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETHING. HE SAID,
AS GOD IS CONTINUING TO USE YOU AND BRENDA, THIS IS JOEL
OSTEEN, HE SAYS, MAN, THEY'VE LIED ABOUT THAT GUY.
THEY HAVE. THEY'VE LIED ABOUT KENNETH COPELAND.
WELL, I WOULD NEVER GO TO COPELAND'S MEETING 'CAUSE I
DON'T LIKE HIM. YOU JUST READ STUFF, YOU DON'T EVEN
KNOW HIM. I'VE SAT HOURS WITH HIM. I'M NOT DUMB.
WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
WHAT HE PREACHED? PEOPLE, AND I'VE ASKED PEOPLE, I
DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT HE PREACHED. YOU EVER HEARD
HIM? NO, I CAN'T, HE'S A HERETIC. AND YOU HAVEN'T
EVEN HEARD WHAT HE'S REALLY SAID AND DEVOURED HIS TAPES?
WHEN HE COMES HERE, BY THE WAY, I AM SHOWING HIGH
HONOR, AND I WANT EVERYBODY HERE, IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, WE
WOULDN'T HAVE FLASHPOINT TODAY. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
SO I EXPECT YOU TO BE HERE TO SHOW HONOR.
BUT HERE'S THE POINT, PEOPLE, JOEL SAID, HANK, HE
SAID, "ONE THING THAT YOU'RE GONNA FIND "IS YOU'RE GONNA
FIND ONE THING "THAT YOU'VE GOTTA PROTECT IN YOUR LIFE
IS YOUR PRIVACY." OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO TRAVEL WITH
ME CAN TELL YOU, AND I LOVE MEETING PEOPLE, BUT I CAN'T
GO ANYWHERE. AND THAT'S OKAY, I LOVE MEETING YOU,
AND I LOVE MEETING PEOPLE. I'M JUST SAYING, YOU DON'T
NEED TO PUT EVERYTHING OUT THERE IN WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
SOMETIMES THINGS JUST NEED TO BE KEPT OFF THE SOCIAL
MEDIA PAGE. NOT EVERYTHING IS A SERMON, NOT EVERYTHING
IS A MESSAGE, NOT EVERYTHING IS YOUR POST WITH YOUR GREAT
WISDOM. OKAY, LET'S JUST GET BACK TO THIS. ALL RIGHT, SO
LET'S GO OVER THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. I GOTTA GET
THIS DONE, I REALLY DO, I CAN'T RABBIT TRAIL. THOU
SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD IN VAIN. WATCH
YOUR MOUTH. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY. IN OTHER WORDS,
IN THOSE DAYS, IT WAS A DAY OF REST. TODAY, WE COME AND
IT'S A DAY OF WORSHIP THAT WE NEED TO HONOR, RIGHT?
HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER. THOU SHALL NOT KILL,
THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THOU SHALL NOT
STEAL, THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY
NEIGHBORS, THOU SHALL NOT COVET. NOW, THOSE ARE THE 10
COMMANDMENTS SHORT VERSION. LET'S GO TO EXODUS CHAPTER
20 AND LET'S LOOK AT WHAT IT REALLY WAS. I WANNA SHOW YOU
THIS, IT'S KINDA LONG, BUT I WANNA SHOW YOU THIS. YOU
SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. THIS IS WHEN GOD
IS SPEAKING TO MOSES. YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF
AN IMAGE IN THE FORM OF ANYTHING IN HEAVEN, ABOVE
THE EARTH, BENEATH, OR IN THE WATERS BELOW. LET'S KEEP
READING. YOU SHALL NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM, WORSHIP THEM,
FOR I, THE LORD, YOU'RE GOD. NOW UNDERLINE THIS. WHEN IT
COMES TO LOVE AND HONOR, AND LOVE, AND HATING WHAT GOD
HATES, LOVING WHAT HE LOVES, RIGHT? BEING ANGRY ABOUT
WHAT GOD'S ANGRY ABOUT, IS IT HAS TO DO WITH JEALOUSY.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A JEALOUSY FOR
GOD. IF YOU'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR
REPUTATION AND YOUR FEELINGS, THEN YOU'RE NOT
GONNA SIDE WITH GOD. IF YOU'RE AFRAID OF PEOPLE
TALKING BAD ABOUT YOU AND NOT LIKING YOU AND
MISUNDERSTANDING YOU, THEN YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A
JEALOUS HEART FOR GOD. BECAUSE JESUS SHOWED THAT
WHEN PHILIPPIANS, HE CAME AND MADE HIMSELF OF NO
REPUTATION. IF IT'S ABOUT YOUR REPUTATION, AND IF YOUR
FAMILY MEMBERS ARE GONNA LIKE YOU AND INVITE YOU ALL
THE TIME TO THANKSGIVING, I'M NOT TRYING TO DIVIDE
YOUR FAMILY, BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS IF YOU REALLY HAVE
A JEALOUSY FOR GOD, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A
BACKBONE. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A STANDARD. YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A PRINCIPLE. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO HAVE THE MORAL FIBER TO STAND UP AND SAY, YOU KNOW
WHAT, I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT. I LOVE YOU, BUT JUST
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL. I'M NOT GONNA CONDONE
YOUR SIN. I'M NOT GONNA AGREE WITH IT. I'M GONNA
AGREE WITH GOD. I'M JEALOUS FOR HIM. AND IT'S NOT THAT I
HATE YOU. IT'S NOT THAT I'M BEING MEAN, NOT TRYING TO
INCITE RIOTS OR VIOLENCE. I'M JEALOUS FOR GOD. SO I'M
JEALOUS, GOD, AND I PUNISH THE CHILDREN FOR THE SIN OF
THE PARENTS. SO PARENTS, DON'T EVER SAY, "WELL, I'M
NOT HURTING ANYBODY WITH WHAT I DO." YEAH, YOU ARE.
YOU'RE HURTING YOUR KIDS. AND NOTICE THEN, "TO THE
PARENTS OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS "OF THOSE
WHO," WHAT? "HATE ME." BUT NOTICE WHAT HE SAYS. SO YOU
SEE IN THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, YOU SEE THE WORD HATE, AND
YOU ALSO SEE, "BUT I SHOW LOVE, THOUGH, "TO A THOUSAND
GENERATIONS OF THOSE WHO LOVE ME." SO EVEN IN THE
LOVE AND HONOR OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, THERE IS LOVE
AND HATE. AMEN. OKAY, ARE YOU READY? NOW, LOOK AT
HEBREWS CHAPTER 13, THE REST OF THE COMMANDMENTS, YOU CAN
READ THEM. WE ALREADY WENT OVER THE SHORT VERSION. BUT
LOOK AT HEBREWS 13:8. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THIS.
NOW, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, SOMETHING WAS INJECTED INTO
THE EARTH. IT WAS CALLED JESUS. BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE
HOW GOD FEELS, WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT THINGS. JUST
BECAUSE IT'S THE NEW TESTAMENT, NOW GOD ACCEPTS
IT. NO, IT JUST MEANS THAT HE'S MORE MERCIFUL, LOVING
KINDNESS, PATIENT, BECAUSE HE HAS TO DEAL WITH THINGS
AND SEE THINGS THROUGH MERCY OF THE BLOOD. DOESN'T MEAN
THAT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, HOMOSEXUALITY WAS AN
ABOMINATION, BUT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, WELL, THEN YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT 1 CORINTHIANS 6 SAYS. NO,
HOMOSEXUALITY, IF IT'S UNREPENTED, WILL INHERIT THE
KINGDOM OF GOD, OR SEXUAL IMMORALITY, THAT'S THE NEW
TESTAMENT. IT'S NOT HANK KUNNEMAN, IT'S PAUL WRITING
TO THE CORINTHIAN CHURCH. HERE'S THE POINT. THE POINT
IS JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME TODAY, YESTERDAY, AND
FOREVER. JESUS GOT ANGRY. NOW HE WASN'T RUDE AND
OBNOXIOUS. SO IF YOU GO TO THESE UNO EVENTS, YOU DON'T
ACT IN HATE, YOU DON'T ACT IN VIOLENCE, YOU DON'T ACT
IN CHAOS, YOU DON'T ACT IN UPROAR, YOU DON'T DISRUPT,
INTERRUPT, YOU DON'T MISBEHAVE, YOU DON'T ACT
RUDE. OR IF YOU GO TO A CITY COUNCIL MEETING, RIGHT? OR
TOWN HALL MEETING. OR IF YOU'RE INTERVIEWING THE
PRESIDENT, YOU'RE TO HAVE LOVE AND HONOR. EVEN THOUGH
YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING. JESUS CHRIST
IS THE SAME. HE HATED, I'M GONNA SHOW YOU, HE GOT MAD,
HE HAD INDIGNATION. THIS WAS ALSO THE CHARACTERISTIC OF
JESUS. THAT'S WHY HE SAID, "HEY, DON'T JUST GET IN YOUR
MIND "THAT I'M THIS PEACEFUL JESUS THAT'S JUST COMING IN
"AND CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG AND AGREE ON
EVERYTHING." HE SAID, "WHAT I'VE COME TO BRING IN MY
KINGDOM "IS GOING TO CREATE OPPOSITION, "IT'S GOING TO
CREATE DIVISION, "IT'S GOING TO CREATE THOSE THAT HATE
YOU, "THOSE THAT DO NOT LIKE YOU, "THEY'RE GONNA WANNA
PUT YOU BEFORE GOVERNORS "AND RULERS OF YOUR DAY.
"THEY'RE GONNA WANNA THROW YOU IN PRISON "BECAUSE
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A STANDARD OF TRUTH "AND YOU'RE GONNA
LOVE WHAT I LOVE "AND YOU'RE GONNA HATE WHAT I HATE."
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. NOW LET'S GO ON. LOOK AT WHAT, 1
JOHN 4, WE NEED TO COVER THIS ONE BEFORE WE GO ANY
FURTHER BECAUSE HERE'S THE THING, I'M NOT TELLING YOU
TO HATE PEOPLE. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING. YOU CAN
HATE SOMEONE'S LIFESTYLE. YOU CAN HATE THEIR CHOICES.
YOU CAN HATE THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM. YOU CAN EVEN HATE
THEIR POLITICAL PARTY, LEFT OR RIGHT. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
A LICENSE TO HATE THEM. NOW, WHAT'S THE DEFINITION OF
HATE? HATE IS TO REJECT, CONSIDER SOMETHING
REPULSIVE, TO TURN AWAY. BUT TO HATE THE PERSON, JESUS
EVEN SAID, I DIDN'T COME TO SAY THAT YOU CAN HAVE EYE
FOR AN EYE, A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. I SAID LOVE YOUR
ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE THAT DESPISE AND ABUSE YOU.
HE DIDN'T SAY AGREE WITH YOUR ENEMIES, PRAY FOR THEM.
AND HE SAID YOU CANNOT TAKE YOUR HATE, WHICH YOU CAN DO,
YOUR DETEST, YOUR REJECTION, YOUR INTOLERANCE, YOUR
STANDARD, YOU CAN DO THAT, BUT IF YOU CROSS THE LINE
AND NOW MOVE OVER INTO CRIME, VIOLENCE, MURDER,
SIN, YOU'RE GONNA BE JUDGED. DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH YOUR
STANDARD IS. THIS IS WHY 1 JOHN 4:20 SAYS, IF A MAN
SAYS I LOVE GOD AND HE HATES HIS BROTHER. NOW, YOU CAN
HATE YOUR BROTHER IN THE SENSE OF YOU CAN DETEST THAT
YOUR BROTHER THINKS IT'S OKAY TO SLEEP WITH HIS
GIRLFRIEND. YOU CAN HATE THAT. YOU CAN HATE THE FACT
THAT MAYBE YOU HAVE A BROTHER THAT THINKS IT'S
OKAY TO LOVE ANOTHER MAN IN HOMOSEXUALITY. YOU CAN HATE
THAT. BUT YOU CANNOT HATE YOUR BROTHER TO WHERE NOW
YOU WANT VENGEANCE. YOU WANT MISTREATMENT. YOU WANT TO DO
LIKE THAT IDIOT WITH CHARLIE KIRK. YOU WANT TO TAKE A GUN
AND TAKE A FATHER OF TWO AND A HUSBAND OF A WIFE AND
MURDER HIM. ALL THAT MAN HAD TO DO IS IT WAS OKAY. HE
COULD HATE WHAT CHARLIE DID, BUT HE'D CROSS THE LINE. AND
THAT'S WHAT JOHN IS TALKING ABOUT. YOU CANNOT CROSS THE
LINE AND BE ANGRY AND HATEFUL AND THEN SIN WITH
THAT. HE SAID IF YOU LOVE GOD AND YOU HATE YOUR
BROTHER, HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU CAN'T DISAGREE,
YOU CAN'T DETEST, YOU CAN'T REJECT. YOU CAN CHOOSE IN A
CHURCH OR YOU CAN CHOOSE IN YOUR LIFE IF THERE IS A
PERSON WHO SAYS THEY'RE A CHRISTIAN BUT THEY'RE FULL
OF WOKE, THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO FELLOWSHIP WITH THEM, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO INVITE THEM FOR DINNER, YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BE THEIR BEST FRIEND. YOU DON'T HATE THEM, YOU HATE
WHAT THEY STAND FOR. YOU HATE THEIR CHOICES, YOU HATE
THE FRUIT OF THEIR LIFE. AND YES, YOU CAN JUDGE THAT
FRUIT BECAUSE MATTHEW 7 SAYS YOU CAN LOOK AT SOMEONE'S
LIFESTYLE, SOMEONE'S STANDARDS, SOMEONE'S
CHOICES, AND YOU CAN DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF TREE
YOUR BROTHER IS. AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T FELLOWSHIP WITH
SOME PREACHERS BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE WHO THEY ARE
OUTSIDE THE PULPIT. AND PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, WILL YOU
INVITE THIS PERSON IN?" NO WAY. WHY? 'CAUSE THEY'RE AN
IDIOT. AND I LIKE HOW THEY TREAT THEIR HELPS PEOPLE,
THEY YELL AT 'EM AND SCREAM AT 'EM. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER
SEEN THAT NONSENSE? I CALLED A GUY ONE TIME, HE SAYS,
"OH, WE'RE HAVING SO MUCH POWERFUL GLORY SERVICES."
HE'S GOT A HUGE CHURCH IN AMERICA. AND HE SAID, "WE'RE
HAVING GLORY SERVICES, "I WANT YOU TO WATCH." SO I
WATCHED HIM AND HE WAS SO MAD, YELLING AND SCREAMING
AT HIS HELPS. I SAID, "TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER DOWN IN
THIS PLACE." HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT? AND THE
CAMERA'S ON THE GUY AND HE'S STANDING IN THE CORNER, YOU
KNOW, AND YELLING AT THE GUY WITH THE CAMERA. AND I'M
LIKE, "DUDE." SO HE CALLED ME. "HEY, WHAT'D YOU THINK?"
I SAID, "I THINK YOU'RE AN IDIOT." (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
"WHAT, YOU DIDN'T FEEL THE GLORY?" I SAID, "I
THINK THE GLORY WAS TRYING TO COME, "BUT I COULDN'T GET
OVER YOUR MANNERISMS." YOU CAN'T TREAT GOD'S PEOPLE
THAT WAY, OR YOURS THAT GOD GAVE YOU. AND I SAID, "THE
WHOLE WORLD SAW YOU YELL AT THAT POOR GUY "WHO'S JUST
TRYING TO SERVE." ANYWAY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT SUBJECT.
IF A MAN SAY I LOVE GOD AND HATES HIS BROTHER, HE'S A
LIAR. FOR IF HE THAT LOVES NOT HIS BROTHER WHOM HE'S
SEEN, HOW CAN HE LOVE GOD WHO HE HASN'T SEEN? VERSE
21, "AND THIS COMMANDMENT WE HAVE OF HIM "THAT HE WHO
LOVES GOD LOVES HIS BROTHER." SO YOU'RE TO LOVE
THEM. YOU'RE NOT TO WANT MALICE ON THEM. YOU'RE NOT
TO WANT BITTERNESS AGAINST THEM. YOU'RE NOT TO WANT
UNFORGIVENESS. YOU'RE NOT TO WANT MISTREATMENT. YOU'RE
NOT TO WANT GOD TO GET THEM, GET THEM. THAT'S NOT LOVING
YOUR BROTHER. BUT YOU CAN HATE THE FRUIT OF THEIR
LIFE, DECISIONS, CHOICES, STANDARDS, BELIEF SYSTEMS,
AND CARNALITY. AND IF MORE CHRISTIANS WOULD DO THAT, I
TELL YOU WHAT, WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS CHAMELEON SPIRIT
THAT COMES INTO THE CHURCH. WE JUST BLEND INTO
EVERYTHING 'CAUSE WE GOT TO BE ACCEPTED. NOW, AM I OKAY?
- JUST WANNA BE A CHRISTIAN IN MY HEART. ALL RIGHT, HERE
WE GO. ALL RIGHT. WHAT DOES HATE MEAN IN THE HEBREW?
SANE, REPULSION, TURNING AWAY, DISTANCING ONESELF,
REJECTING. SO GO TO MALACHI CHAPTER ONE, LOOK AT VERSES
TWO THROUGH THREE. SO GOD NOW, AND THIS IS THE WORD
SANE HERE, TO REJECT, TURN AWAY FROM, TO NOT AGREE
WITH, AND TO BE SANE, TO HAVE A PRICK IN YOUR HEART.
IT HURT YOU AND IT BROUGHT THIS DETESTING REPULSION
THAT YOU FEEL TOWARDS WHAT THIS PERSON'S DOING AND HAS
DONE. SO LET'S READ THAT IN CONTEXT. MALACHI 1, "I HAVE
LOVED YOU, SAITH THE LORD. "YET YOU SAY, WHERE HAVE
THOU LOVED US? "WAS NOT ESAU JACOB'S BROTHER? "SAITH THE
LORD GOD, YET I LOVE JACOB." NOW WATCH WHAT GOD SAYS.
"BUT I HATED, I DETESTED, LIKE A THORN, "HE PRICKED
AND HURT MY HEART, AND I TURNED AWAY. "AND I FIND HIM
REPULSIVE IN WHAT HE'S DOING." HE SOLD HIS
BIRTHRIGHT. HE SOLD OUT TO GOD, OR HE SOLD OUT TO
HIMSELF RATHER THAN TO GOD. AND GOD SAYS, "I HAVE HATE,
I HAVE DETEST FOR HIM. "I'VE REJECTED HIM, I'VE TURNED
AWAY." MAN, COME ON, I DON'T WANT GOD, EVEN IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT WITH THE BLOOD, TO LOOK AT MY LIFE OR YOURS AND
SAY, "YOU HAVE PAINED ME." I'VE TRIED TO TELL YOU
NUMEROUS TIMES, STOP DOING THAT. STOP AGREEING WITH
THAT. AND YOU NEVER WANT GOD TO HAVE TO SAY THAT ABOUT
YOU. MAN, I LOVE BROTHER SO-AND-SO, BUT I HATE WHAT
SO-AND-SO'S DOING. THAT'S SAYING GOD. MAN, I WANNA BE
ON GOD'S. MAN, I TOLD HIM THIS, I SAID, LORD, I JUST,
I WANT TO, AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW YOU DO IT. IT'S
ABOUT YOUR HEART. REMEMBER WHAT THE FIRST COMMANDMENT
IS? YOU SHOULD LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR WHAT? EVERYTHING
COMES DOWN TO YOUR HEART. HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE, HOW
YOU TREAT GOD, HOW YOU RESPOND TO PEOPLE. AND YOU
CAN'T TRULY SAY THAT YOU LOVE SOMEBODY IF YOU ARE
VOID OF SOMETHING ELSE, HONOR. HONOR IS A HIGH CODE
OF CONDUCT. IT'S ETHICS, OKAY. IF I WOULD GO TO THE
UNO MEETING, I'M NOT GONNA BE DISRUPTIVE. IF A LIBERAL
GETS UP, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO SPEAK. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE
THERE. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HEARD, AND THEY HAVE A
RIGHT THEN TO LET SOMEBODY ELSE SPEAK TO THEM. IF I GO
TO A TOWN HALL MEETING, SAME THING. IF I GO TO A SCHOOL
BOARD MEETING, IF I'M ON SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU HAVE TO
HAVE A CODE OF CONDUCT CALLED HONOR. THINKING OF
OTHERS MORE HIGHLY THAN YOU DO YOURSELF. HAVING
SELF-CONTROL, LOVING KINDNESS, MERCY, PATIENCE,
ALL THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, NOT THE FLESH. SEE, THE
PROBLEM IS WHEN PEOPLE GET INTO TRYING TO LOVE WHAT GOD
LOVES AND HATE WHAT HE HATES, IF THEY DON'T HAVE A
GOOD GRIP ON THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, LOVE, JOY,
PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, MERCY, MEEKNESS, GENTLENESS,
SELF-CONTROL, THEN THEY GET OVER INTO THE FLESH, WHICH
IS WRATH, MALICE, RIGHT? MURDER. I MEAN, YOU'RE
HEARING WHAT I'M SAYING. ALL RIGHT, NOW LET'S GO ON. SO
YOU CAN SEE THIS NOW. I WANNA SHOW YOU SOME THINGS
THAT GOD HATES, BECAUSE GOD DOES HATE. LOOK AT, WE'RE
GONNA GO OVER THESE QUICKLY. LOOK AT PSALM 11:5
LOOK AT WHAT PSALM 11:5 SAYS. WE'RE GONNA
HIT THESE VERY QUICKLY. PSALM 11:5, LOOK
AT WHAT GOD HATES. "FOR THE LORD TRIES THE RIGHTEOUS,
"BUT THE WICKED AND HIM THAT LOVES VIOLENCE, HIS SOUL
HATES. "GOD DOES NOT LIKE, HE DETESTS, HE REJECTS, HE
FINDS IT REPULSIVE, PEOPLE WHO ARE BENT ON WICKEDNESS."
AND YES, THERE ARE SOME IN OUR GOVERNMENT ON THE RIGHT
AND LEFT THAT I BELIEVE THAT GOD LOOKS AT THEM AND SAYS,
"I HATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, AND YOU ARE CAUSING ME TO
REJECT YOU, TO HAVE A FORM OF DISTASTE, WHERE I'M
WITHDRAWING MY HAND OF BLESSING OVER YOU. YOU ARE
SO BENT ON EVIL, THINKING IT'S OKAY TO KEEP MURDERING
BABIES." AND I SAID, "DON'T DO IT. YOU THINK IT'S OKAY
TO MUTILATE LITTLE KIDS AND GIVE NO PARENTAL CONSENT?"
WHEN I SAID THAT THERE HAS TO BE HONOR WITH MOTHER AND
FATHER, BUT IF YOU CUT OFF THEIR VOICE, GOD HATES, WHEN
PEOPLE ARE SO BENT ON WICKED, THEY RUN A DANGER
THEN TO GET INTO A PLACE WITH GOD WHERE THEY HAVE TO
BE JUDGED BASED ON THE LEVEL OF THEIR WICKEDNESS AND
GOD'S HATE AND INTOLERANCE FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND
WHO THEY'VE BECOME. AND THAT'S WHY HE HATES IT. AND
NOTICE HE HATES THE VIOLENCE. HE HATES WHAT
THEY'RE DOING IN NEIGHBORHOODS. BUT YET GUESS
WHAT CHRISTIANS DID? CHRISTIANS, PREACHERS, ALL
IN THE NAME OF A BLACK MAN GETS MURDERED. AND BLM, WHO
HAS A MANIFESTO THAT MOST CHRISTIANS DID NOT READ,
THAT WAS ANTI-GOD, ANTI-BIBLE, AND BECAUSE THEY
WERE TRYING TO STAND UP, FALLING RIGHT INTO THE RACE
CARD THAT WAS VERY DIVISIVE, BLACK LIVES MATTER, WHICH IT
DOES, BUT REALLY AT THAT POINT IN AMERICA, SOMEBODY
NEEDED TO SAY, FIRST AND FOREMOST, DOES GOD'S HEART
MATTER? ALL PEOPLE ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD AND SHOULD
BE TREATED FAIRLY, HONORABLY. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
BUT NO, THEY'RE PUTTING A BLACK SQUARE ON
IT, MARCHING, AND THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT THEY WERE
CELEBRATING. THEY HAD NO CLUE THE DIVISIVE, HATEFUL,
VIOLENT, CHAOTIC SPIRIT THAT BLM LINKING WITH ANTIFA WAS
ALL ABOUT. (CONGREGATION CHATTERING) THEY PUT THEIR
LITTLE KAMALA HARRIS AND WALTZ STICKERS UP AND HAVING
NO CLUE WHAT THEY STOOD FOR AND WHAT THEIR VOTE WAS NOT
JUST A VOTE OF A PARTY, IT WAS WHETHER YOU WERE VOTING
FOR GOOD VERSUS EVIL, RIGHT, WRONG, LIFE OR DEATH, HONOR
OR DISHONOR. AND THAT IS NOT TO SAY BECAUSE THE
RHINOCEROSES AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NEED TO GET
WITH IT TOO. BUT VIOLENCE IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE. GOD
DOESN'T LIKE IT, HE HATES IT. LET'S KEEP GOING, HOW
MANY GETTING IT? LOOK AT WHAT PROVERBS 15:9 SAYS. THE
WAY OF THE WICKED IS AN ABOMINATION. WHAT'S THAT
WORD, ABOMINATION? IT'S A STENCH. GOD HATES IT, HE
HATES THE WAYS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BENT ON EVIL. HE'S BENT
ON PEOPLE WHO WANNA TAKE HIM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. HE'S
BENT ON PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION OF
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, GENDER. HE HATES THAT PEOPLE
WANT TO REDUCE A LITTLE BABY, A FETUS TO A PIECE OF
FECES, WASTE. HE HATES IT. HE HATES THE WAY OF THE
WICKED. IT'S A STENCH. BUT HE LOVES HIM THAT FOLLOWS
AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS. LET'S GO ON. LET'S LOOK AT SOME
MORE. HE HATES THEIR ACTIONS. LOOK AT PROVERBS
6:16-19. THERE ARE SIX THINGS THAT GOD HATES. SEVEN
OF THEM ARE OUR STENCH. PROVERBS 6, THESE SIX THINGS
IS THE LORD HATE. HE DETESTS, HE REJECTS IT, IT
HURTS HIS HEART. HE WITHDRAWS, IT'S SHAMED, IT'S
THAT, OR SAYING IT'S THAT PRICKING OF HIS HEART. HE
HATES A PROUD LOOK. HE HATES A LYING TONGUE, WHETHER IT'S
IN THE MEDIA, POLITICS, OR ANYWHERE ELSE. TELL THE
TRUTH, REPUBLICAN DEMOCRATS, MEDIA, JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
HE HATES A LYING TONGUE. HE HATES ABORTION. IT'S
INNOCENT BLOOD. HE HATES IT. KEEP READING. HE HATES A
HEART THAT DEVISES WICKED IMAGINATIONS. HE HATES FEET
THAT ARE CONSTANTLY RUNNING TO MISCHIEF. SO HE HATES
SOME OF THE ACTIONS IN CALIFORNIA. HE HATES A FALSE
WITNESS THAT SPEAKS LIES THROUGH CNN AND FOX EVEN.
AND NOW THESE PODCASTERS. AND HE HATES HOW PEOPLE GET
ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND SO DISCORD. BOY, HE HATED IT
WHEN THEY WERE CALLING OUT, THAT PERSON'S A TRUE
PROPHET, THAT ONE'S A FALSE PROPHET. AND SO IN DISCORD
AND PEOPLE GOT ON THERE LIKE KEYBOARD WARRIORS. I AGREE
WITH YOU, I NEVER AGREED WITH, YOU KNOW, WHETHER A
MOUNTAIN COULD BE JELLO OR NOT. AND DISCORD AND HATE
FOR A PERSON WAS SOWED. IT'S WRONG. BY THE WAY, I HONOR
YOU, CAT KERR. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GO ON. HE HATES PURPOSEFUL, BLATANT, DELIBERATE SIN.
PSALM 5, LOOK AT VERSES FOUR THROUGH SEVEN, FIVE THROUGH
SEVEN, HERE WE GO, LET'S GO FOUR THROUGH SEVEN. PSALM 5,
HE HATES PURPOSEFUL, BLATANT, DELIBERATE SIN. IN
PSALM 5, THE FOOLISH SHALL NOT STAND IN YOUR SIGHT.
THOU HATES ALL WORKERS OF INIQUITY. INIQUITY IS
PURPOSEFUL SIN. GOD HATES LIBERAL AGENDA THAT IS BENT
ON EVIL. HE HATES REPUBLICAN COMPROMISE. HE HATES WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN SCHOOLS THAT ARE BENT ON PUTTING
PORNOGRAPHY AND PEDOPHILIA WITH OUR KIDS, AND NOBODY'S
SPEAKING UP ABOUT IT. PREACHERS THAT WON'T TALK
ABOUT IT IN THEIR SERMONS. HE HATES IT. HE GETS ANGRY.
LOOK AT VERSE FIVE, WE GOTTA MOVE QUICKER. ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO TO VERSE SEVEN, HERE WE GO. THE FOOLISH
SHALL NOT STAND IN YOUR SIGHT. YOU HATE ALL WORKERS
OF INIQUITY. VERSE SIX AND SEVEN, YOU SHALL DESTROY
THEM THAT SPEAK LEASING. THE LORD WILL ABHOR, HE WILL
HATE THE BLOODY AND DECEITFUL MAN. VERSE SEVEN,
"BUT AS FOR ME, I'LL COME INTO YOUR HOUSE "IN THE
MULTITUDE OF YOUR MERCY, "AND IN THY FEAR WILL I
WORSHIP TOWARDS THY HOLY TEMPLE." SO HE'S SAYING,
LOOK GOD, I'M NOT LIKE THEM. SO YOU GOTTA BE ON THE SIDE
OF GOD OR NOT ON THE SIDE OF GOD. NOW, LET'S TALK NEW
TESTAMENT. GO TO REVELATION CHAPTER TWO. GOD DOES HATE.
NEW TESTAMENT, I'M GONNA SHOW YOU. IN REVELATION TWO,
THIS WAS TALKING ABOUT THE NICOLATIONS, RIGHT? I THINK
HE HATES SOME THINGS ON NICKELODEON TOO, AND THAT'S
PROBABLY WHERE THEY GOT IT FROM. BUT THIS THOU HAST
THAT HATES THE DEEDS OF THE NICOLODEANS. AND GOD SAYS,
BY THE WAY, THIS IS JESUS TALKING, I ALSO HATE IT TOO.
WELL, WHAT WERE THE DEEDS? LOOK AT VERSES 14 THROUGH
15. SO HE GOES, I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST THEE BECAUSE
THOU HAST THERE THEM THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM.
BALAAM WAS FALSE MIXTURES. THAT HAS COME INTO THE
CHURCH. YOU KNOW WHAT THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM IS? IT'S
THE DOCTRINE OF COMPROMISE, RIGHT? THE DOCTRINE OF
FALSE, IT'S THE BLENDED THING, THE FALSE MIXTURES.
YOU CAN HAVE BAAL WORSHIP, YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
GOD, A SUNDAY EXPERIENCE, AND THEN THE REST OF THE
WEEK WE CAN JUST BE WHATEVER WE WANT. WE HAVE A CHOICE
AND WE'RE FORGIVEN. IT'S CALLED GRACE. BALAAM WAS
FULL OF COMPROMISE. HE WAS FULL OF FALSE DOCTRINE. HE
WAS A DECEIVER. AND HE SAID, "BUT YOU ALSO TAUGHT BALAK
"TO CAST A STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL, "TO EAT THINGS SACRIFICED UNTO IDOLS "AND
TO COMMIT FORNICATION." IN OTHER WORDS, GOD'S SAYING,
WATCH THIS, FORNICATION IS SEX OUT OF MARRIAGE, SEXUAL
PERVERSION, RIGHT? LOOKING AT PORNOGRAPHY, BEING BOUND
BY SEXUAL IMMORALITY. LOOK AT VERSE 15. HE SAYS, "BUT I
HAVE, BUT IT'S ALSO THEM "THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF
NICOLAITANS." I HATE THIS. I DETEST IT, I REJECT IT, IT
PRICKS MY HEART, I TURN AWAY. AND I DON'T EVER WANT
THAT. AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, IF YOU DON'T LIKE
THE WAY I'M PREACHING, WHETHER YOU'RE ONLINE OR IN
THIS CHURCH TODAY, I'M SORRY. I'M NOT GONNA HAVE
GOD COME TO ME AS THE ANGEL OR THE MESSENGER OF THIS
HOUSE AND SAY, "HERE'S SOME THINGS I HAVE AGAINST YOU
"IN THE WAY THAT YOU'RE PASTORING." 'CAUSE AT THE
END OF THE DAY, I'M GONNA STAND FOR WHAT GOD WANTS.
AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, AND YOU'RE OFFENDED, AND YOU
THINK I SHOULD KEEP THAT OUT OF THE PULPIT, THEN YOU
DON'T KNOW YOUR BIBLE, AND YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR GOD. AND
YOU DON'T KNOW THE CULTURE THAT IS CORRUPT BECAUSE OF
THE PULPITS OF AMERICA, AND PREACHERS THAT WON'T SAY IT
FOR LIKE IT IS. AND YOU CAN GO TO THOSE CHURCHES, AND
GET UNDER THOSE PASTORS, AND YOU'LL JUST BECOME JUST LIKE
THE CULTURE. CONFUSED, CONFLICTED, COMPROMISING,
CARNAL, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO STAND FOR ANYMORE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO ON. LOOK AT JESUS. WELL, LET ME JUST
GIVE YOU THIS ONE. PROVERBS 11:11. GOD HATES INJUSTICE.
THIS IS WHY YOU'RE SEEING THINGS WITH LETITIA. OH,
LETITIA AND OLD FANNY, HER FANNY'S IN TROUBLE. BECAUSE
THEY WERE TRYING TO BRING INDICTMENTS AGAINST
PRESIDENT TRUMP, MAKING FALSE WITNESSES AND STUFF
UP, AND NOW THE BOOMERANG HAS GONE OUT AND GOD SAYS, I
THINK THAT'S THE WRONG ONE, BUT I PUT THE WRONG ONE,
SORRY ABOUT THAT, BUT IT TALKS ABOUT HOW GOD HATES
UNJUST SCALES. HE HATES INJUSTICE, HE HATES THINGS
AND PEOPLE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY, OKAY? SO JUST
BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, MAKE SURE THAT
YOU TREAT PEOPLE HONORABLY, FAIRLY. LOOK AT HEBREWS
CHAPTER ONE, LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAID, I'M ALMOST DONE,
I GOTTA GET MOVING. JESUS, HE GOES INTO THE HOLY PLACE,
CARRIES HIS BLOOD, AND LOOK AT WHAT GOD SAYS, "YOU ARE
MY SON, "AND HERE'S THY THRONE FOREVER AND EVER."
AND HE HANDS HIM THE SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. NOW NOTICE
WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT JESUS. NOW THIS IS WHEN HE WAS IN
THE EARTH. THIS IS WHEN JESUS WAS IN THE EARTH. HE
WASN'T JUST HAPPITY SKIPPITY AGREEING WITH EVERYBODY.
YOU, JESUS, THIS IS THE FATHER SPEAKING, YOU'VE
LOVED DOING WHAT'S RIGHT. YOU'VE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS,
BUT YOU HATED INIQUITY. SO YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN AMONG
THE SINNERS, BUT YOU DIDN'T ACT LIKE THEM, AGREE WITH
THEM, PARTAKE OF IT, AND COMPROMISE. YOU HATED, YOU
ABSOLUTELY WERE PRICKED IN YOUR HEART. YOU TURNED AWAY,
YOU DETESTED IT, YOU REJECTED IT, THAT PURPOSEFUL
SIN. SO HOW MANY OF YOU SEE THAT JESUS EVEN DID? SO IF
WE'RE GONNA BE ON THE SIDE OF GOD, AGAIN, I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT GETTING OVER INTO SIN, GETTING OVER INTO
CRIME, GETTING OVER INTO VIOLENCE, GETTING OVER INTO
MISTREATMENT, GETTING OVER INTO UNFORGIVENESS, GETTING
OVER INTO BITTERNESS, GETTING OVER INTO ARGUING,
GETTING OVER INTO PRIDE TO BE PROVEN RIGHT, RIGHT? YOU
CAN STILL HAVE YOUR STANDARD OF WHAT GOD LOVES AND HATE
WHAT HE HATES AND STILL BE LIKE GOD WHO'S SLOW TO
ANGER, FULL OF LOVING KINDNESS. NOW, THE FACT THAT
HE'S SLOW TO ANGER MEANS HE GETS ANGRY. OTHERWISE HE'D
SAY, HE'S NO ANGER. SAYS HE'S SLOW TO ANGER. BUT
BELIEVE ME, THERE ARE THINGS THAT HE IS MAD ABOUT RIGHT
NOW. HE DOESN'T LIKE IT. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT INIQUITY, PURPOSEFUL SIN, SOMETIMES IS FULL. GOD
WATCHES IT, HE'S TOLERANT, HE'S LOVING, KIND, HE'S
PATIENT, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE LOOKS AT THE
WICKED, HE LOOKS AT WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING, WHAT
THEY'RE STANDING FOR, WHAT THEY'RE BELIEVING FOR,
INCLUDING CHURCHES, PASTORS, CHRISTIANS EVEN AMONG THEM,
MEDIA, POLITICIANS, GOVERNMENTS, AND HE STARTS
GOING, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, YOUR CUP OF PURPOSEFUL SIN
IS GETTING FULL. NOW I HAVE TO STEP IN WITH MY ANGER AND
MY HATRED AND I HAVE TO BRING MY JUDGMENT BECAUSE
I'M A RIGHTEOUS AND A JUST GOD. YOU NEVER WANNA BE AT
THAT PLACE IN YOUR LIFE OR YOUR COUNTRY. THIS IS WHY
GOD SAVED US IN THIS LAST ELECTION. BECAUSE THE CUP OF
INIQUITY WAS GETTING REALLY, REALLY FULL. BECAUSE PEOPLE
WERE PURPOSEFULLY BENT ON INIQUITY AND EVIL. YOU ARE
SEEING IT IN THE STORES, YOU'RE SEEING IT ALL OVER
THE PLACE. AND THEY WERE PROUD OF IT. AND IF YOU
CHALLENGED IT, YOU ARE FULL OF HATE. YOU ARE A BIGOT, A
RACIST, A WHITE SUPREMACIST, RIGHT, CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT JESUS REAL QUICK. MARK 3
LOOK AT VERSES 1-5. LET'S TALK
ABOUT JESUS. WHEN HE WAS HERE ON THE EARTH,
AND JESUS ENTERED INTO THE SYNAGOGUE, WE'RE GONNA READ
TO VERSE FIVE, "AND THERE WAS A MAN WHICH HAD A
WITHERED HAND, "AND THEY WATCHED HIM WHETHER JESUS
WOULD HEAL "ON THE SABBATH DAY." MAN, TOO MANY TIMES,
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? PHARISEEICAL SPIRIT, I'VE
HAD PEOPLE DO THAT. OH, I HEAR THAT THEY PRAY FOR THE
SICK AT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH. THEY WATCH TO WAIT
TO SEE IF YOU HEAL OR DO ANYTHING SUPERNATURAL AT
CHURCH. I HEARD SOME WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN THERE LIKE
THEY SPEAK IN TONGUES. YET THAT SAME PERSON IN A FEW
WEEKS AGO WATCHED FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 666, FRIDAY THE
13TH PART 666, HALLOWEEN PART WHATEVER. AND THAT'S
COOL, THE CHAINSAW. AND BY THE WAY, WE'RE GONNA GO TO
SCARY HOLLOW. BUT GOD HEALING AND DOING SOMETHING
FOR SOMEBODY SUPERNATURAL IN THE CHURCH. LOOK AT HOW FAR
CHRISTIANITY HAS GONE. IT'S THE PREACHER'S FAULT. 'CAUSE
THEY DON'T EVER GIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR GOD TO DO
ANYTHING. THEY WATCH, IS HE GONNA HEAL? THAT THEY MIGHT
WHAT? ACCUSE HIM, LOOK AT VERSE SEVEN. OR VERSE FOUR,
WHATEVER IT IS. HE SAID UNTO THE MAN WHICH HATH A
WITHERED HAND, STAND FORTH. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, IS IT
LAWFUL TO DO GOOD ON THE SABBATH OR TO DO EVIL? IN
OTHER WORDS, THERE'S A CHOICE HERE, TO SAVE A LIFE
OR TO KILL IT, BUT THEY HELD THEIR PEACE. LOOK AT VERSE,
"AND WHEN HE HAD LOOKED AROUND ABOUT ON THEM WITH," WHAT?
JESUS WAS MAD. JESUS WAS ANGRY. AND NOW HERE COMES
THE HATRED PART IN HIS HEART. THERE'S THE HEBREW
SAYING, IT PRICKED HIS HEART. HE DIDN'T LIKE THEIR
ACTIONS. HE DIDN'T LIKE WHAT THEY WERE STANDING FOR. HE
WAS GRIEVED 'CAUSE OF THE HARDNESS OF HIS HEART. AND
HE SAID TO THE MAN, "STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND." HE
STRETCHED IT OUT AND HIS HAND WAS RESTORED. ALL
RIGHT, LET'S LOOK AT THE NEXT ONE. LOOK AT MARK
CHAPTER 10:13-16 IN THE NIV. PEOPLE WERE BRINGING LITTLE
CHILDREN TO JESUS FOR HIM TO PLACE HIS HANDS ON THEM. BUT
THE DISCIPLES SAID, "STOP." WHEN JESUS SAW THIS, HE WAS
WHAT? INDIGNANT, UNDERLINE INDIGNANT. WHAT DOES
INDIGNANT MEAN? IT MEANS TO SHUDDER IN THE GREEK, TO
QUIVER, TO DEEM SOMETHING UNACCEPTABLE. SO JESUS
SHUDDERED. HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMETHING THAT JUST, THAT
SOMEBODY DOES, SOMEBODY STANDS FOR, SOMEBODY
BELIEVES, THAT JUST MAKES YOU SHUDDER? OKAY, RIGHT,
RAISING PALESTINIAN FLAGS, BURNING AMERICAN FLAG MAKES
ME SHUDDER, MAKES ME QUIVER, RIGHT? I'M INDIGNANT.
INDIGNANT ALSO MEANS TO HAVE A STRONG DISPLEASURE TOWARDS
SOMETHING OR TO DEEM SOMETHING UNWORTHY. SO JESUS
WAS THAT. AND HE SAID, "LET THE CHILDREN COME TO ME "AND
DON'T HINDER THEM, FOR THEIRS BELONGS "THE KINGDOM
OF GOD." TRULY I TELL YOU, ANYONE WHO WILL NOT RECEIVE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD LIKE A LITTLE CHILD WILL NEVER
ENTER IN IT. OKAY, ANYWAY, WE CAN GO ON. WE ALSO KNOW
THE STORY OF THE MONEY CHANGERS. JESUS WENT IN
THERE, JOHN 2:13-17, HE TURNED OVER THE TABLES. I'M
NOT SAYING THAT GO IN THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND TURN
OVER TABLES, OKAY, YOU'RE NOT JESUS. BUT WHAT YOU CAN
DO IS YOU CAN DO IT IN A VERY HONORABLE STATESMAN
LIKE WAY, RIGHT? THE SPIRIT IS SUBJECT TO THE PROPHET OR
TO THE MESSENGER. YOU GOTTA LEARN HOW WHEN YOU GO OUT IN
PUBLIC OR WITH YOUR RELATIVES TO LOVE THEM BUT
SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH
THEM. YOU CAN SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T AGREE WITH
YOUR LIFESTYLE. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME
DISCUSSIONS HERE, BUT HEY, CAN WE HAVE A THANKSGIVING
WHERE WE CAN JUST COME TOGETHER AS BROTHER AND
SISTER, UNCLE AND AUNT, WHATEVER, AND KEEP THAT
STUFF OFF THE TABLE. BUT IF YOU CAN'T, THEN YOU KNOW
WHERE I STAND, I'M SORRY, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SKIP THIS
ONE. RIGHT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? NOW, HERE'S WHAT
WE HAVE TO DO. LOOK AT PSALM 139, I'M GONNA CLOSE WITH
THIS. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN COME. I CLOSE WITH JUST A
COUPLE SCRIPTURES, THREE SCRIPTURES HERE, VERY SHORT.
I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS. WHAT IS OUR RESPONSE TO
WICKEDNESS? WE NEED TO LOOK AT SOMETHING. NOW, I WANT
YOU TO LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY THIS, AND THOSE OF YOU
THAT ARE WATCHING, I FEEL LIKE I'M SO SERIOUS TODAY.
BUT I HAD TO TAKE MY TIME. THIS ISN'T TRYING TO BE
FUNNY TODAY. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ON MY
HEART. WHERE PEOPLE SAY, WELL, YOU CAN'T BE ANGRY,
YOU CAN'T SPEAK UP ABOUT THINGS, YOU CAN'T HAVE A
HATE FOR ANYTHING. AGAIN, I'M NOT INCITING VIOLENCE,
I'M NOT ENCOURAGING RIOTING, CHAOS, RIGHT? INJUSTICE, I'M
NOT SAYING THAT. I'M NOT CALLING FOR PREJUDICE, I'M
NOT CALLING FOR, RIGHT? DOWN WITH EVERY OTHER PEOPLE
GROUP. I'M NOT SAYING THAT, NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL. I'M
SAYING YOU CAN HATE IN THE SENSE OF THIS. YOU CAN
REJECT IT, IT CAN BECOME DETESTIVE, REPULSIVE, YOU
CAN TURN AWAY FROM IT, YOU CAN HAVE A STANDARD THAT
OPPOSES IT AND SAYS, NO, IT'S NOT THE WAY GOD SAID,
IT'S NOT THE WAY THAT GOD THINKS, BUT I STILL LOVE
YOU. AND IF YOU'RE WILLING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION, I'LL
TALK TO YOU AND I'LL SHOW YOU FROM MY VIEWPOINT WHY
YOU'RE WRONG. YOU CAN TELL ME FROM YOUR VIEWPOINT. I
REMEMBER LESTER SUMRALL ONE TIME WENT INTO A DEBATE WITH
SOME HOMOSEXUALS AND THEY WERE ARGUING THE BIBLE.
WELL, DAVID AND JONATHAN, THEY WERE HOMOSEXUALS
BECAUSE THEY KISSED ON ONE ANOTHER AND THEY HAD ALL
THEIR LISTS. AND SO THEY FINALLY, HE JUST DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING. HE GOES, "WELL, YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU "AND
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU, "BUT I WANNA ASK YOU GUYS A COMMON
SENSE QUESTION. "IF HOMOSEXUALITY IS BIBLICAL
AND OF GOD AND HE ENDORSES IT, "HOW COME A, THERE'S NO
PROCREATION? "YOU CAN'T BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY FROM
IT. "SECOND, I WANNA ASK YOU A SCIENTIFIC QUESTION "AND A
HEALTH QUESTION. "IF IT'S SO GREAT, HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT
SEXUAL ACT?" AND THEY GOT MAD AT HIM. THEY GOT UP AND
WERE VIOLENT AND ANGRY. "HOW DARE YOU ASK SUCH A
QUESTION?" HE SAID, "WELL, IT'S A SCIENTIFIC FACT "THAT
THAT PARTICULAR PART OF THE BODY IS FOR EXCRETION, "NOT
FOR THINGS TO BE INSERTED." (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) AND
THEY GOT MAD AT HIM. (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
GOT MAD. AND AGAIN, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU SPEAK THE
TRUTH, PEOPLE DON'T WANNA HEAR IT. AND THEY ACCUSED
HIM OF BEING A HATER, A BIGOT, AND THEY NEVER
ANSWERED HIS QUESTION. BUT YET HE LISTENED FOR 45
MINUTES THE WHOLE TIME TO THEIR ARGUMENTS. BUT SOON AS
HE BROUGHT HIS POINT, THEN THEY WENT TO THE ACCUSING
REALM, HATRED. DAVID IS SPEAKING AND HE SAYS, "FOR
THEY SPEAK AGAINST THEE WICKEDLY, "AND YOUR
ENEMIES," MAN, GOD, "THEY'RE TAKING YOUR NAME IN VAIN.
"DO NOT I HATE THEM, O LORD, THAT HATE YOU?" NOW HE'S NOT
TELLING YOU INCITE RIOTS, VIOLENCE. HE'S SAYING,
"LISTEN, I DETEST THEIR ACTIONS. "I DETEST WHAT THEY
STAND FOR. "I DETEST THAT THEY'RE TAKING YOUR NAME IN
VAIN. "THEY'RE MISTREATING YOU, GOD. "THEY'RE BENT ON
EVIL. "AM I NOT GRIEVED?" THERE'S THAT WORD SANE. AM I
NOT GRIEVED? "PRICKED IN MY HEART WITH THIS HATEFUL
FEELING THAT I FEEL "WITH THOSE THAT RISE UP AGAINST
YOU. "AND I HATE THEM WITH PERFECT HATRED." NOW, DAVID
MAY HAVE CROSSED THE LINE A LITTLE BIT, RIGHT? "BUT I
COUNT THEM MY ENEMIES." NOW HERE'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO ADAPT WHAT I'M SAYING, AND YOU'RE
GONNA HEAR WITH SPIRITUAL EARS WHAT I'M SAYING, YOU
BETTER PRAY THIS PRAYER. AND IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE GONNA
BE OUT OF LINE. 'CAUSE THEN YOU WILL MOVE INTO HATING,
RESENTFULNESS, VENGEANCE, MALICE, NAME-CALLING, BEING
MEAN-SPIRITED, UNFORGIVING, GOTTA HAVE MY SAY, AND YOU
DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PERSON YOU'RE SPEAKING WITH, OR
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU. HE SAYS, "SEARCH ME, O GOD,
AND KNOW MY," WHAT? WHAT'S THE FIRST COMMANDMENT? YOUR
HEART, YOU SHOULD LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. WHAT'S
HONOR? JESUS SAID, "YOU CAN SAY YOU HONOR ME WITH YOUR
LIPS, "YOUR LIP SERVICE, BUT IF YOUR HEART'S FAR AWAY,"
HONOR'S OF THE HEART. IF YOU DON'T CONNECT YOUR HEART TO
LOVING WHAT GOD LOVES AND HATING WHAT HE LOVES, YOU'RE
GONNA BE OUT OF LINE. YOU'RE GONNA SLIP INTO SIN. YOU'RE
GONNA SLIP IN THE FLESH. TRY MY HEART. NOW YOU NEED TO
ASK GOD, TRY MY HEART, WATCH THIS, AND SEE GOD IF THERE'S
ANYTHING, IF I'M SLIPPING OVER AND I'M NOW, YOU KNOW,
NOT JUST DETESTING OR HATING HOMOSEXUALITY, BUT NOW I'M
HATING THE HOMOSEXUAL, YOU'RE OUT OF LINE. AND YOU
NEED TO SAY, GOD, SEARCH MY HEART, TRY MY HEART, SEE IF
THERE BE ANY WICKED WAY IN ME. BECAUSE THEN I TRULY
CANNOT BE JEALOUS FOR YOU UNLESS MY HEART IS RIGHT. I
CAN'T BE A VOICE AT THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CAMPUSES, MY
DINNER TABLE, MY THANKSGIVING DINNER. IF MY
HEART'S NOT RIGHT TOWARDS THAT PERSON OR THAT THING,
AND I STILL HAVE SOME THINGS IN ME THAT CAUSES ME TO
CROSS OVER IN THE FLESH, THEN I'LL BECOME OUT OF
LINE. THEN YOU'LL SLIP INTO THIS NEXT ONE. LOOK AT
EPHESIANS 4. YOU'LL SLIP INTO VERSE 20. STAND YOUR FEET.
DID YOU GET ANYTHING OUT OF THIS? (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
ALL RIGHT. VERSE 26, DID I SAY 20? OKAY.
YOU'RE ALL QUIET. DID I STUN YOU? MAN, YOU LOOK LIKE A
GOLFER THERE, BOB. ALL RIGHT. BE YE ANGRY. SO YOU
CAN BE ANGRY, RIGHT? AND WHAT? SIN NOT. DON'T SIN.
HOW DO YOU KEEP FROM SINNING? SEARCH MY HEART,
GOD. TRY MY HEART. LET ME BE A MOUTH FOR YOU. LET ME BE
BOLD FOR YOU, BUT DON'T LET ME BE RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS.
DON'T LET ME EVER CROSS THE LINE OVER INTO LACK OF
SELF-CONTROL. DON'T LET ME EVER CROSS OVER INTO THE
PLACE OF GETTING OUT OF THE SPIRIT AND OUT OF WHAT TRUE
LOVE IS. I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT TRUE LOVE IS
COMING UP. IT'S COMING. BUT PUT THAT SCRIPTURE BACK UP,
PLEASE, AND WATCH. BE ANGRY, BUT DON'T SIN WITH YOUR
ANGER. DON'T SIN WITH LOVING WHAT GOD LOVES AND HATING
WHAT HE HATES. LET NOT THE SUN GO DOWN UPON YOUR ANGER.
OKAY, DON'T HOLD GRUDGES. DON'T HAVE UNFORGIVENESS.
THEN YOU SLIP OVER INTO SIN. NOW, LAST SCRIPTURE, ARE YOU
READY? LOOK AT JAMES 1:19. HERE'S WHAT WE ALL NEED TO
LEARN AS WE ASK GOD TO SEARCH OUR HEART. WE DEAL
WITH CULTURAL ISSUES AND CULTURAL ARGUMENTS AND WE
DEAL WITH THOSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WILL
REJECT MY MESSAGE AND THEY WILL GO WITH HATE, WITH
VIOLENCE, HATE, WITH CHAOS, HATE, HATE, WITH CORRUPTION,
HATE, WITH EVIL, HATE, WITH A REACTION THAT STILL WILL
CALL YOU NAMES AND DISCREDIT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, RIGHT?
WHEREFORE, MY BELOVED, IF PEOPLE, AND THIS IS WHAT I
LOVED WHAT CHARLIE KIRK WAS DOING. LET EVERY MAN BE
QUICK TO HEAR. JUST LEARN TO LISTEN TO WHERE PEOPLE ARE
AT. I HAD SOMEONE THE OTHER DAY THAT I TALKED TO THAT
HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS THAN ME. AND IT WAS THE FIRST
TIME THAT THEY EVER LISTENED TO ME. AND I WAS LIKE, WELL,
AND BRENDA KEPT SAYING TO ME, JUST, HEY, 'CAUSE I
STARTED GETTING A LITTLE, AND SHE SAID, JUST, AND SHE
WAS MY LITTLE, YOU KNOW, HELPING ME OUT. AND BECAUSE
I LISTENED TO THEM, FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEY WERE ABLE
TO REALLY HEAR WHAT I SAID. AND I FELT THE ANOINTING,
THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS ON WHAT I WAS SAYING. AND I'M
TELLING YOU, IT WENT INTO THAT PERSON. CONCERNING SOME
IMMORAL LIFESTYLES, BEHAVIORS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND THEY LISTENED, OH BOY, THEY HEARD. THEY HEARD. YOU
GOTTA BE QUICK TO HEAR. THEN YOU NEED TO BE SLOW TO
SPEAK. YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO INTERRUPT. YOU DON'T
ALWAYS HAVE TO BE LOUDER THAN YOUR OPPONENT. THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I HATE THAT THE REPUBLICANS AND THE
DEMOCRATS DO. THEY ALWAYS TALK OVER ONE ANOTHER.
THAT'S WHY I DON'T EVEN WATCH THE NEWS. YOU CAN'T
EVEN HAVE A PANEL BECAUSE THEY ALL TALK OVER ONE
ANOTHER. SO YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT GIVING YOU THE TIME
OR DAY. I KNOW WHAT GOD SAYS, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR
ME. BE SLOW TO SPEAK AND BE SLOW TO WHAT? ALL RIGHT,
HEAVENLY FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THIS MESSAGE TODAY, AND
I THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME TO COMMUNICATE IT IN WHAT I
BELIEVE WAS THE RIGHT SPIRIT. I BELIEVE THAT TRUTH
WAS HERE. I BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU HELPED ME
TO RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD TODAY, AND I PRAY THAT THE
PEOPLE WOULD EMBRACE THE SPIRIT OF THE BEREANS IN THE
BIBLE, THAT THEY WOULD RECEIVE THE WORD WITH
GLADNESS NOW, THAT THEY WILL BE CHALLENGED AND SAY, "GOD,
I'M GOING TO GO AND I'M GOING TO STUDY IT OUT. I'M
GOING TO RE-LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE. I'M GOING TO TAKE
NOTES. I'M GOING TO RE-LOOK UP THOSE SCRIPTURES. AND I'M
GOING TO SEARCH IT OUT FOR MYSELF." BUT I DO PRAY THAT
THIS MESSAGE WOULD NOT BE MISINTERPRETED, TAKEN OUT OF
CONTEXT. BUT I PRAY THAT IT WOULD YIELD PEACEABLE FRUITS
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. FOR YOUR NAME. IN AN HOUR, GOD, THAT
WE LIVE, THAT WE'VE GOTTA STAND. WE'VE GOTTA RIGHTLY
BE THOSE WHO ARE ON THE LORD'S SIDE. LOVING WHAT YOU
LOVE AND HATING WHAT YOU HATE, GOD. AND REALLY BEING
ABLE TO DISCERN BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, RIGHT AND WRONG,
LIGHT AND DARKNESS. I DO PRAY SOMETHING IN THE
SINCERITY OF MY HEART. SEARCH OUR HEARTS. TRY OUR
HEARTS AND SEE IF THERE BE ANYTHING INSIDE OF US YOU
NEED TO TAKE OUT SO THAT WE CAN BE MORE LOVING, KIND,
AND SLOW TO ANGER, AND QUICK TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK. BUT
GOD, BOLD, AND SPEAK WITH WISDOM AND UTTERANCE THAT
NAYSAYERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESIST A REFUGE. AND SO I
PRAY THAT, AND I PRAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE A JEALOUS
HEART FOR YOU. EVERY TIME I READ THAT, I FEEL LIKE I
COME SHORT OF THAT, GOD. BUT I WANT THAT. I WANNA LOVE
WHAT YOU LOVE, AND I WANNA HATE WHAT YOU HATE. AND I
WANNA BE A PERSON, AND I PRAY THIS FOR EVERYONE, THAT
ARE EASILY PRICKED IN OUR HEART. IF YOU DON'T LIKE
SOMETHING, OR HOW WE'RE TALKING TO SOMEBODY, OR
TREATING SOMEBODY, OR YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING WE'RE
DOING, PRICK OUR HEARTS, THAT WILL CHANGE, AND WALK
IN AN HONORABLE WAY, BEFORE YOU GOD AND MAN, I PRAY, AS
PASTOR DOUG CUMMINS, AMEN. THANK YOU GOD. ALL RIGHT,
LOVE YOU MAN, THANK YOU. HEY, THANKS FOR THE PASTOR
APPRECIATION, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I LOOK
FORWARD TO READING THE CARDS AND LETTERS AND THOSE OF YOU
ONLINE. I FEEL LIKE I DIDN'T EVEN INCLUDE YOU TODAY, I
WAS SO INTO TRYING TO ARTICULATE WHAT I WAS
SAYING, SO HOPEFULLY YOU FELT LIKE YOU WERE INCLUDED.
OKAY, PASTOR DOUG, THANK YOU.
- AMEN, WELL LET'S GIVE PASTOR ANOTHER HAND, THAT
WAS A GREAT MESSAGE, SO TIMELY. I'M GONNA ASK IF
PEOPLE WOULD JUST REMAIN IN THE AUDITORIUM FOR JUST A
COUPLE MORE MINUTES AND WE'LL CLOSE HERE SHORTLY. IF
YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT THAT YOU NEED TO GET TO IN THE
CONNECT CENTER OR SOMETHING, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
OTHERWISE, IF YOU CAN JUST STICK WITH ME HERE, I WOULD
APPRECIATE THAT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AS WE CLOSE TODAY.
YOU KNOW, PASTOR TALKED ABOUT, AS HE STARTED HIS
MESSAGE, JOHN 3:16, WHICH IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT SCRIPTURE
IN THE BIBLE THAT REALLY SUMS UP GOD'S PLAN OF
SALVATION, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, SO THAT
WHOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD BE SAVED AND NOT
PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. AND I WANT TO SPEAK TO
THAT FOR JUST A MOMENT, BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE
SOMEONE ONLINE, OR THERE COULD BE EVEN SOMEONE HERE,
WHERE YOU'VE NEVER MADE THAT DECISION, BECAUSE THE
SCRIPTURE GOES ON, AND HE SHARED THAT, AND SAYS THAT
HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED, BUT IF WE
DON'T BELIEVE, WE'RE CONDEMNED ALREADY. AND THAT
CAN PUT US IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION IN LIFE. YOU KNOW,
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW MANY PEOPLE MOVE
OFF INTO ETERNITY. I'VE SHARED THIS SEVERAL TIMES,
BUT I'M GONNA SHARE IT AGAIN BECAUSE SOME HAVEN'T HEARD
IT. JUST DURING THE COUPLE MINUTES THAT I'M UP HERE
SPEAKING, THERE'LL BE THREE TO 400 PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH
THAT MOVE OFF INTO ETERNITY. EVERY WEEK, THERE'S OVER A
MILLION PEOPLE THAT MOVE INTO ETERNITY. AT THE END OF
A MONTH, IT'S ALMOST 5 MILLION PEOPLE, FIVE TIMES
THE CITY OF OMAHA THAT MOVE OFF INTO ETERNITY, SOME BY
ACCIDENTS, SOME BY NATURAL DEATH. BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY
MATTER. THEY MOVE OFF INTO ETERNITY, AND THEN THEY
NEVER HAVE A CHANCE IF THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED JESUS ONCE
THEY'VE DONE THAT. ONCE YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, IT'S TOO
LATE TO MAKE A DECISION. GOD'S GIVEN US THE ABILITY
TO USE OUR FREE WILL TO CHOOSE HIM. AND HE SAYS, "IF
YOU BELIEVE, YOU CAN BE ON THE WINNING TEAM. YOU CAN BE
PART OF WHAT WE CALL THE BORN-AGAIN OR CHRISTIANS ON
THIS EARTH. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO BELIEVE, YOU'RE
ALREADY CONDEMNED TO HELL. AND THAT'S A PLACE NO ONE
SHOULD HAVE TO GO TO. AND SO I URGE YOU TODAY TO CONSIDER
WHERE YOU'RE AT. ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU LEFT
THIS EARTH TONIGHT OR TOMORROW, YOU WOULD BE IN
THE ARMS OF JESUS? THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION YOU CAN
EVER ASK YOURSELF. ARE YOU 100% SURE? AND YOU CAN MAKE
THAT DECISION TODAY. BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE OR
BEFORE YOU TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE THAT YOU'RE WATCHING
TODAY, YOU CAN MAKE THAT DECISION TO CHOOSE JESUS
CHRIST. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS HAS DONE ON THE
CROSS OF CALVARY. THERE'S THAT OLD SONG THAT TALKS
ABOUT, "MILLIONS HAVE COME, BUT THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR
ONE. "THERE'S ROOM AT THE CROSS FOR YOU." AND JESUS
HAS ROOM FOR YOU. AND HE'LL TAKE YOUR LIFE AND PUT
MEANING TO IT. HE'LL PUT MEANING INTO YOUR LIFE. HE
HAS A PLAN FOR EVERY ONE OF US. AND THEN YOU CAN FULFILL
THAT PLAN WITH ASSURANCE, KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING YOU
DO ON THIS EARTH IS GOING TO GLORIFY HIM AS YOU MOVE
FORWARD IN WHAT HE'S CALLED YOU TO DO. I'M JUST GOING TO
ASK IF EVERYONE HERE WOULD JUST BOW THEIR HEADS WITH ME
FOR A MOMENT. AND I WANT TO PRAY. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU
TODAY, IS THERE SOMEONE IN THIS PLACE, FIRST OF ALL,
AND YOU SAY, PASTOR DOUG, I'VE NEVER MADE THAT
DECISION, OR I'VE MADE THAT DECISION, BUT I'VE TURNED MY
BACK ON GOD, AND I NEED TO COME BACK INTO THE FOLD. I
NEED TO MAKE HIM THE LORD OF MY LIFE. MAYBE YOU'VE NEVER
MADE THAT DECISION. YOU NEED TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST YOUR
LORD. YOU NEED TO BELIEVE SO THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
I'M GONNA COUNT TO THREE, AND IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE,
AND YOU SAY, PASTOR DOUG, I WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR ME. I
NEED ETERNAL LIFE. I NEED TO HAVE ASSURANCE TO KNOW THAT
HEAVEN WILL BE MY HOME WHEN I LEAVE HERE. IF THAT'S YOU,
I'M GOING TO COUNT TO THREE AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO
RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY. AND THEN THIS CAN BE A TURNING
POINT FOR YOU IN YOUR DAY AND IN YOUR LIFE. ONE, TWO,
THREE. IS THERE ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD RAISE THEIR HAND
QUICKLY AND SAY, "I NEED JESUS. I NEED TO FIND HIM. I
NEED TO MAKE HIM THE LORD OF MY LIFE. I SEE YOU, YOUNG
LADY. LEAVE YOUR HAND UP IF YOU WOULD FOR A MOMENT.
ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE ELSE IN THIS PLACE, YOU NEED JESUS.
MAYBE YOU'VE TURNED YOUR BACK ON JESUS AND YOU'VE
GOTTEN INTO THINGS THAT DO NOT GLORIFY HIM. IF THAT'S
YOU, RAISE YOUR HAND. I WANT TO KNOW THAT SO THAT WE CAN
PRAY TODAY. JESUS CAN FORGIVE YOU AND PUT YOU
RIGHT BACK ON TRACK AGAIN. IS THERE ANYONE YOU NEED TO
COME BACK TO HIM TODAY? YOUNG LADY WITH THE CAP ON
DOWN HERE IN THE GRAY, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO DO
SOMETHING VERY BOLD. EVERY TIME JESUS CALLED SOMEONE
FORTH, HE DID IT PUBLICLY. I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO JUST
STEP OUT OF YOUR SEAT. IF YOUR FRIEND WANTS TO COME
WITH YOU, THAT'S FINE. MOM, THAT'S FINE. COME ON UP
HERE, JUST CLOSE TO ME. DON'T BE EMBARRASSED. YOU'RE
DOING THE RIGHT THING. WHAT'S YOUR NAME, HON?
OLIVIA. GOD BLESS YOU, OLIVIA. YOU'RE MAKING A
DECISION TODAY THAT'S GONNA CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER.
AND EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM HAS DONE IT AT ONE TIME OR
ANOTHER, AND SO IT'S NOTHING THAT WE'RE SINGLING YOU OUT
TODAY, BUT IT'S A DECISION THAT YOU'RE MAKING, SHOWING
JESUS THAT YOU'RE GONNA STAND FOR HIM, AND YOU'RE
NOT GONNA TURN YOUR BACK ON HIM, AND IT'S A DAY THAT
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET. OCTOBER, WHAT IS THIS, THE
13TH? THIS IS THE 12TH. OKAY, I'M A DAY AHEAD.
OCTOBER 12TH, 2025 IS A DAY THAT'S GONNA CHANGE YOUR
LIFE. AND I'M JUST GONNA ASK YOU TO DO THIS. IT ALL
STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER. I JUST GONNA HAVE YOU REPEAT
AFTER ME THE PRAYER THAT I'M PRAYING, AND THEN JESUS WILL
HEAR YOU, AND HE'LL RECEIVE YOU INTO WHAT WE CALL THE
NEW BIRTH EXPERIENCE, AND IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. AND
IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE TODAY, WHEREVER YOU MAY BE,
YOU CAN REPEAT AFTER ME ALSO, AND JESUS WILL SEE YOU
RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT. SO JUST PRAY WITH ME, FATHER IN
HEAVEN, THANK YOU THAT JESUS CHRIST WENT TO THE CROSS AND
DIED FOR ME. I BELIEVE HE DIED, HE WAS BURIED, AND HE
ROSE FROM THE DEAD, JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS, ON THE
THIRD DAY. AND TODAY, I MAKE A DECISION. I CHOOSE YOU,
JESUS. I ASK YOU, COME INTO MY HEART. MAKE ME NEW. I
WILL SERVE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR
DOING THAT. I LOVE YOU, JESUS. AMEN, AMEN. AND
BECAUSE, OLIVIA, YOU PRAYED THAT, YOU'RE IN. YOU'RE ON
YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN, AND YOU HAVE A NEW EXPERIENCE. AND
THE ALDER TEAM, I DIDN'T CALL YOU UP YET, BUT I'M
GOING TO HAVE THE ALDER TEAM JUST RUN UP HERE. EILEEN'S
HERE ALREADY. SHE'LL GIVE YOU A CARD TO FILL OUT AND
REGISTER THAT. AND ALDER TEAM, YOU COME ON UP HERE.
I'M SORRY I FORGOT TO ASK YOU TO COME UP EARLIER, BUT
IF YOU NEED PRAYER TODAY, THE ALDER TEAM WILL BE HERE
FOR YOU AND READY TO PRAY WITH YOU ABOUT ANY NEEDS YOU
MIGHT HAVE. IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER TODAY IN YOUR
HOME, THE PRAYER LINE IS UP THERE. YOU CAN CALL
855-777-7907 AND WE WILL PRAY WITH YOU, SEND YOU
INFORMATION, THE SAME INFORMATION THAT WE'RE
GIVING OLIVIA TODAY HERE WILL COME INTO YOUR HANDS
AND WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD. WE
APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH. JUST A COUPLE THINGS TO
MENTION BEFORE I DISMISS YOU. WHEN YOU CAME IN TODAY,
YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A FLYER LIKE THIS. ONE SIDE IS
TO REMIND YOU OF THE OMAHA VICTORY CAMPAIGN. PUT THAT
UNDER YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND REGISTER SO THAT YOU DON'T
MISS THOSE EVENTS. AS PASTOR SAID, THEY'RE SO IMPORTANT.
AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE TALKS ABOUT KINGDOM WEALTH.
THIS IS A LIFE EMPOWERMENT CLASS THAT'S STARTING
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23RD. YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR IT RIGHT
AWAY AT THE INFORMATION CENTER. IT'LL BE HELD
THURSDAYS FROM 7 TO 8:15 P.M. WE CAN ALL USE HELP AT
TIMES WITH OUR FINANCES. AND THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
ANGELA COLEMAN WILL BE MODERATING THIS CLASS. SHE'S
GOT GREAT BUSINESS EXPERIENCE AND A WEALTH OF
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD'S PLAN FOR KINGDOM FINANCES. SO I
KNOW YOU'LL BE ENCOURAGED AND LEARN FROM THAT IF YOU
HAVE A CHANCE TO SIGN UP, DO THAT, AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THAT. DON'T MISS MIDWEEK RECHARGE THIS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, 7 P.M. DURING THE SUMMER, I HAD A LITTLE
SERMON SERIES GOING ON HOW TO BE STRONG IN THE SPIRIT,
AND I FELT LIKE THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WE'LL DO A
CONCLUSION BASICALLY ON THAT. WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A STRONG SPIRIT MAN? HOW DO
YOU MAINTAIN IT? I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME PRACTICAL
APPLICATION FOR THAT. RIGHT NOW, WITH THE SHIFT CHANGE
THAT WE'RE IN, WITH THE AWAKENING, AND WITH ALL THE
OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE TO MINISTER TO OTHERS, WE HAVE
TO BE STRONG IN OUR SPIRIT MAN INDIVIDUALLY. IT'S
IMPORTANT TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME, BUT RIGHT NOW WE NEED
TO BE ESPECIALLY READY FOR THAT BECAUSE WE'RE MOVING
INTO THE HARVEST, AMEN? AMEN. WELL, GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU
FOR COMING TODAY, AND WE'LL SEE YOU WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
IF YOU NEED PRAYER, DON'T FORGET THE ALDER TEAM IS HERE FOR YOU.
