(upbeat music)
- Good morning, Lord of Hosts Church. Come on, stand
up and give Him some praise. Hallelujah.
♪ worship music ♪
- Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We worship you.
We honor you, our God. And Lord, we are so grateful
today. Yeshua, for the sacrifice that you gave.
And with that, we love you and we honor you, we serve you.
- Worship you, Lord. - And God, today, I pray that we
would touch your heart in such a way that would cause your
presence to be so among us that we will know that God Himself is
here to bless the people. And we love you and all the
people that love God said, - "Yes, yes."
- Man, okay. So you want to know how you did? You guys did great.
These two sections, I didn't even hear you. No, honestly,
I didn't even hear you. - Must be the room.
- Must be the room. So I'm going to try it again. All the people
that love God said, - "Amen.."
- Wow, okay. - Now I heard it, but I didn't
hear it over there. And all the people that love God said,
- "Amen." - I heard a little bit.
All right, no, you guys are good. How's everybody doing?
Are you ready for the nice change of weather? Notice
the leaves are turning colors. Isn't that
incredible? The leaves are turning colors now and it's
fall. Brenda, it's fall. - I know, I know. I like it. I
do like four seasons. I was talking with Tracy in the
back and she's about their trips to the beach and all
these things and she said, but I do like four seasons.
- Well, how many of you are already starting to gather
the leaves that are falling? - No, not enough yet.
- then you got time to get a book. So I got this new book
on how to collect leaves by a great, great author, Ray King.
He's a great guy there. So you can go ahead and get.
Oh, stop, stop. I haven't even got going yet. Brenda, you.
- That was bad. - Never mind, sorry.
- Okay, that was pretty brilliant. I have to give you
credit. - Okay, well, we think about
that stuff up here, Brenda.
- Ray King, I'll never forget it.
- I want to do this. I want to greet those of you that are
watching. You can get that book too, but we're so honored that
you're joining us today. I can't stop laughing. We're so
honored that you're joining us today. Put in the
comments, not the joke, but where you're watching from.
I like to always know kind of the cities, or maybe if
you're from a different nation, that is always
really awesome. Many of you Canadian people, we
love to hear from you, even South Africa. And
so we're glad you're here today. We also have
a very special guest, John Amachuka is here. I
hope I pronounced his name right. He'll be stepping in in
just a moment. He's been really tearing it up with the schools.
- Yes. He's helped us as a church to be engaged in so many
things that are so important that are happening in our nation
right now where the church has kind of been AWOL. And
don't you love seeing that the church is
taking its place in the culture, the
public square. It's amazing. - It's amazing. Well, yesterday
I had fun. How many of you, you had fun yesterday? I did.
All right, eight people had fun. OK. A few over here.
- It was a fun Saturday. - So Matthew and I,
we went to the Nebraska game. So can they show a
pic? Look at this. We went to Nebraska. We had fun.
Look at that. And so this next one, we get this. We
met Tom Osborne. Man, he was stone cold. He didn't even
say a word. But we were able to at least meet him there.
But we had a great time. And I'll tell you what, man,
there was a couple times I was going to go down and
help coach. And one time I was going to see if I could
suit up, you know, because the game was kind of going a
different direction. Not that I could come up with a plan.
- Hey, we won though. That mattered. It mattered.
- I did hear some big changes though are coming to football
as far as their pants. Have you guys heard about that?
You know, they wear the tights.
They're gonna start changing from wearing tights to like
jeans because too many players are getting
titanitis. And so they're gonna change that. That's
kind of an interesting thing, so.
- Oh boy, it's gonna be a fun day.
- Is it over too? Tyrone, I see you laughing. Your
stomach is moving. I see it, it's going like this. All
right, well let's worship God. Okay, right. Doug, Keeler, I
saw you laughing too. It was, it was, yep, it was moving. I
saw it. I saw it. You laugh, that's hunger and pains, but
I saw it. I could see it. - All right, well good. All
right, well you, are you excited to be in God's house today?
I like to say it this way, there's no place
I'd rather be on a Sunday morning than with the
family of God, the people of God. So how many of you are
ready to give God your very best praise today? Not a
spectator, a participator. All right, well throw those
hands up to heaven and say, say, Lord, it's going to be
a great day. The Holy Ghost is going to move in this
house, touch my life, speak to me, and whatever you ask
me to do, I'll be obedient to it. And Lord, I promise
to give you my very best praise. Come on, shout like
you're excited and let's praise the lord.
- Come on, church. Let's give Him some praise this morning.
♪ worship music ♪
- Come on, just prophesy on the instruments. Lord, we
worship you, we honor you. And we declare that you are
the Holy God, the fairest of them all, the most
beautiful, honorable, righteous. You are the
magnificent one. You are exalted above all other
things, both invisible and visible. You are exceedingly
above, for you are the greatest. You are the most
high, and there is no one that can match the honor of
your majesty, of you, the king of glory, the king of
nations, our king, our God, our Lord, Elohim, God,
Yahweh, Adonai, the Eternal One, the Living God. You
are, you are, you are, you are, you are, you are God.
And you are exalted on high. And we forever come to honor
the greatness of you, God, and of your blood sacrifice,
Yeshua. Your own blood, not the blood of bulls or goats
or calves, but your own blood you sacrifice. And you
carry me into that holy place. And you put that
blood upon the royal mercy seat. And now we have grace
and mercy in hell. Oh how we honor you God. Thou art
holy. Thou art holy. [speaking in tongues] The
words cannot describe the honor of the mention of your
name, Yeshua. [speaking in tongues] Oh my, holy, holy,
[speaking in tongues] We worship you. Holy is thy
name. Holy is thy name. We worship you. We worship you.
We worship you. We worship you. Oh God, we fear thy
name. We fear you. The beautiful one, the exalted
God and King, whom we fear with reverence and honor
unto you. Oh, there's no one that was found worthy to
open the books or the seals thereof, but the one is like
a burning fire, a brazing fire. God, even the sun is
considered dim compared to the brightness of your
rising. We worship you. Come on, all over the world,
worship God. We love you. We honor you. We worship you.
Oh, how we worship you. And we surrender to you, God.
Our hearts, our will, our lives for your honor. For
your honor. How many of you honor God? How many of you
honor God? Thank you, Lord. We worship you. We worship
you. We worship you. We worship you. Pastor Brenda,
I want you to come for a moment, please. And the
reason I do is I want you to proclaim. I wanna pray for
people today. We were discussing this. She's
writing a tremendous book, by the way, on commanding
peace. And I was reading today, this morning, where
Jesus went to the disciples and those of you that are
watching, where he had risen from the dead, and they kept
forgetting what Jesus said. Then finally, there's like
one verse, it says, "And they remembered his words."
And I got to thinking to myself, I wonder why is it,
Hank, that sometimes in this guy's life right here, that
you get troubled, you get concerned, you start letting
your mind wander, you try to figure out how things are
going to work out and should work out and why they're not
working out. It's because we forget God's Word. We don't
remember what he said in his word to fear not, let not
your heart be troubled, let it not be afraid, right? Or
we forget what God has said to us prophetically, how the
promises have been revealed to us. Well, then they went
back to the 11 and they said, "Hey, Jesus is alive."
And then Jesus walks in and the first thing he
announces, for those of you that are watching today as
well, he goes, peace be unto you. Because peace isn't a
feeling, peace is God, Prince of Peace, right? And
you know what the disciples, Jesus looks at them and he
says, why are you troubled? And then he said this, this
really hit me, he said, and why are you letting your
heart, so your mind be filled with all these
thoughts? See what happens when you start getting your
peace stolen, you start getting troubled, all of a
sudden your mind gets attacked and it steals your
peace. So I want to pray for anybody today, whether
you're in this room or you are watching online, where
you just feel like there is something that is attacking
your peace, your life. Maybe you're battling with a
symptom in your body and you're like, man, I just
can't come to peace. I'm just frustrated. I feel like
I've been believing and I'm not seeing anything. Maybe
it's a financial situation. Maybe it's a relationship
issue. Maybe it's a marriage that you're wanting to see
peace come to it. Or maybe it's just you wanna come to
peace, say, "Hey, you know, I can find somebody. "I
don't have to be by myself." And you're troubled, and
then thoughts hit you. Well, you're not pretty, you're
not handsome, you're not this, you're not that. Am I
the only one that ever has that happen? Where you
disqualify yourself by your own mind and thoughts? Why
you can't do something, why you're not good enough, why
you're not qualified. Listen, I lived in that
world for a long time. When it came to this this church,
I kept saying, "God, how come? How come I have to
have the ugliest building in all of Omaha?" You all
remember that ugly building? And God said to me, but I
forgot his word. He said to me, he said, "Buy the
building." I said, "I don't want this ugly building." He
said, "I want you to buy it." He told me three times
and finally I said, "Yes." And then I said, "I don't
know if you're supposed to do this." I said, "I'll make
a deal. "If you do two things, you pay for it "and
make it look better." He said, "It will be known as
LOH the beautiful." And God has kept to his word. So
here I was disqualifying something that God was
saying. So, all right, so Mama, I'm gonna turn over to
you 'cause I feel like we really need to pray for some
people, but I feel like you're carrying this anointing in what
you're writing, but in the revelation of it.
- Well, you didn't know this because in the manuscript
right now, right from the beginning chapter, I talk
about how Jesus walked in. And one of the things in
there, and this is so important, I know this is
for somebody who maybe you're feeling like, well,
God, you know, I'm not experiencing peace 'cause I
messed up or I didn't have enough faith or something
happened. And Jesus, when he came into the room, where
the disciples, you know, keep in mind, they were
huddled up in hiding because, you know, Jesus was
arrested and they thought maybe they were gonna get
rounded up by the Jews for being insurrectionists. And
so here they were locked away in fear. And Jesus,
when he came in, and this just hit me so hard, he
never once addressed their fears or their issues. First
thing out of his mouth was, "Peace be unto you." And
then Thomas comes in a little bit after that. And
Thomas, who the Bible even said had more doubt and more
fear, the very first words to Thomas were, "Peace be
unto you." So that's the word of the Lord today for
you. Jesus is prophesying peace to your life.
- You know what, you just taught me something. So
here's the thing, we're not gonna focus on what isn't right.
- That's right. - What needs to be fixed.
We're gonna focus on receiving peace. That is powerful.
- Yes, so right now I just prophesied peace. I want you
to receive it. Those of you in this room and all of
those watching around the world, we prophesy peace to
your life. We break the power of anxiety and fear
and stress and trauma and anguish. We break the power
of all PTSD. We take authority over all
post-trauma stress disorder. We bind the powers of every
mental disorder, all mental oppression. We take
authority in the name of Jesus of Nazareth over
everything that would assail you. We pray that your faith
will not fail. We break the power of that evil spirit
that would try to come against your mind, come
against your thoughts. Get out of God's people in the
authority of Jesus' name. And now I prophesy over your
life peace. I prophesy tranquility. I prophesy a
calming effect. I prophesy that the peace of the Lord
envelops you and it surpasses all understanding,
all thoughts, all things that you were trying to
bring up in your mind to try to fix this or fix that. No,
the peace of the Lord surpasses all of it and it
comes upon you right now in Jesus' name. Now say this
word, say, I receive divine peace. I say grace and peace
are being multiplied in my life. Peace be still to
every storm. Say it again, say peace be still to every
storm. And I am now at peace in Jesus' name.
- Lord, in that declaration. - Yes, amen, amen.
- The declaration of peace. - Yes, Lord.
- Peace is also nothing missing.
And nothing broken. So everything that's been paid
for, Yeshua, in our covenant of peace, we declare as being
provided, ministered, not only by the power of your might and
your spirit, but of the hosts who are ministering servants,
sent for those that are heirs of salvation.
- Thank you, Jesus.
- Now let those things be released in accordance to our
covenant, in Jesus' name. - In Jesus' name.
- Amen. - Amen.
- So I gotta tell you, this is really powerful. So I
went over there, and John Amachukwa was over there,
and he had his laptop pulled up. Guess what his sermon is
about. And the first thing he showed me was, he's gonna
open up with Jesus walking in the room and declaring
peace. So God, 'cause I'm carrying a prophetic word, I
guess I'll just have to deliver it. I don't feel to
give it now, but I was feeling it as I was walking
out. I was hearing something. It ain't the
time, evidently. And yet I felt this is what God
wanted, so that's what we do. But anyway, well, are
you excited that you're here in the house of the Lord?
All right, so Pastor Brenda, I don't know if you knew
this or not, but we are 60 days away from Christmas. So
I'm gonna start sending you, you know, stuff.
- Sing, please don't sing.
- I won't sing. So here's what I want you to do. I
want you to greet one another, and then I wanna
see, and you online, if you can recite the 12 days of
Christmas. Might take you a little bit. All I remember
is the partridge in the pear tree.
- Do it after church, they'll miss Pastor John's message.
- All right, do it after church. See if you can remember one
thing of the days of 12 days. Anyway, greet one another in
the name of the Lord. - Love on each other in God's
house. Amen.
(gentle music)
- Well, good morning, church. This is your first
time in the building with us. We wanna make you feel
welcome. I also wanna make sure you received a Baloo
gift bag when you came inside the door. If you did
not, please wave your hand at an USHER. They have those
available for you. Inside the Baloo gift bag, there's
lots of goodies we've tucked in there for you, as well as
a guest registry packet. So please pull that out at this
time. I wanna point out a couple things in there. It
has a picture of the stage on the front of it, so you
can find it in the bag. On the left-hand side, if you
flip it open, there is a bright orange
state-connected card. I'd like you to tear that off,
fill it out, drop it in the offering basket when it
comes by. In just a few moments, we just wanted to
send you a thank you for coming to see us this
morning, and make sure you stay connected with
everything we have going on here at the church. If
you're watching my livestream, Facebook Live,
Roku, YouTube, One Voice TV, or any of the other digital
platforms we have out there, Rumble, I'll mention that,
'cause they always give me a hard time about not
mentoring Rumble. We have lots of people out there
that love Rumble, so please get out there, watch, you
can watch on Rumble, but get to onevoicetv.net, 'cause
that is our streaming platform, and you can get
access to lots of other great programming, just like
all those right there. Get Real with Hank, Day of the
Decree, Game Changers, Flashpoint is out there as
well, so please, and many, many more. You can watch all
of the great programming live or also archived for
you as well, so please get out there, watch all that
great content. And we have some great changes that
we've just made to One Voice TV. So we've gotten expanded
platforms for you, got lots of different, I can't see
right there, I didn't see it there. Anyway, so we've got
LG, Samsung, Android TV, Vizio, you can watch on all
those platforms as well as our normal ones, Roku and
all the rest. So please get out there, be blessed by One
Voice TV. We created it just for you to be able to get
access to all the content that this ministry and
ministries that we're connected to put out. So
please get out there and avail yourself of that
great, great wisdom that's out there for you to
consume. So if you would, just give all of our guests
here and online a hand. Ask Pastor Brenda Kunn.
- Amen. Well, we wanna get our guest up here as quickly
as possible, so I'll be trying to be fairly brief.
Just a couple things, just wanna remind everybody, this
Wednesday, our Rescuing a Generation Online Only
event, we're going to be here praying and prophesying
over prayer requests for your children, your family,
the next generation, and so go to hankandbrenda.org, get
those prayer requests in. We're gonna have them here in the
tabernacle and Pastor and I are gonna literally,
the reason we're doing it online only is because we're
gonna move about the building a lot, and we have
a call station set up, and we should've had a picture
of that, Bob. I didn't even think about that. But we
have people that are gonna be in the building taking calls
from everybody all around the world, and we're gonna
be praying for your kiddos. We're gonna pray for your
family. What's that? And we are also gonna
get on the phones and answer a few calls with the help of all
of our operators. But that night, we are giving away
completely free, you don't have to sow for this, this is just
free, the Rescuing a Generation Prayer Guide, how to pray and
preserve your children from evil. And Pastor and I put
this together a few years ago and we want to make it
available to all of you so that you can pray for your
kids and protect them. There's just evil at every
corner in the culture currently. And so that's
what we're here to pray about. And then that night,
we're gonna be talking about the children's material. How
many of you were here last week when I just talked
about how we have this new opportunity with the use of
AI? You know, we hear so much evil about AI right
now, but you know, never see technology as fully evil if
you can take and use it for good. And so what we found
out is that to get all of Pastor Hank's animation onto
some of these groups like, you know, we have some
bigger ones looking, but places like Pureflex and
different ones of these outlets and these companies
that put out all this entertainment material, we
can't just have like one video, we need four, five,
even six would be better. And so we have three that
are ready to go. But the cost factor comes in when it
comes to the actual animation side. And I found
out there's so much involved in that, like 32 frames or
pictures or something in every one second of
animation. It's an incredible number. And so,
but now with the use of AI, and Pastor's gonna show you
in a little bit kind of how that looks. And we need to
tweak a few things with it, but it's coming together in
an amazing way. And so I think you're gonna be very,
very blessed. We're gonna talk about it that night.
But we also have a whole bunch of kids bundles we've
put together that we're gonna talk about that night.
And as you help support the project, we'll send those
out. And it's just in time for Christmas. So you'll be
able to give them out to your kids and grandkids. And
in fact, Pastor John said that his son is eight, and
he's like a budding cartoonist. So he and Pastor
Hank need to meet pretty quick. And wouldn't that be
awesome? And just see what he is putting out. So we're
super excited just to see. It is just time to take
children's entertainment out of the hands of the evil
one. (congregation applauding) And the thing
about Pastor Hank's stuff, and by the way, just so you
know, he won't tell you this part, maybe he will, but he
like painstakingly watches over every word, every
concept, every picture, so nothing is ever
misconstrued. Nobody uses it in the wrong way. And
Rachel, you know this, he'll be like, well, how should
that sound? Any little phrase, everything he uses,
but it's funny, it's not just retold Bible stories,
it's humor. How many of you have read the Zepto comics?
Many of you in here, and there's more to come. And
it's just, I mean, he really takes his time on that. So
be calling in that night, those of you, we're gonna
have a phone number available, seven o'clock
central. Do they have a copy of the, I think they have a
picture of the call center that's set up, I just got a
note from the back. Do you have that, do you have a
little video? There we go. That's in the chapel. So we
have a whole group of people that are gonna be taking
calls that night and praying with you on the phone. And
then I believe it's out in the foyer. We're gonna set
the whole foyer up as a prayer center where people
will be praying. Pastor Hank and I will be running over
there. We'll be talking. We're gonna have the worship
team do some worship that night. And so this is why
it's kind of just this crazy mix around. We're turning
this into one big TV studio. And then you're gonna have
an opportunity to help us get these three things into
animation. And we're gonna send you a bunch of stuff
out, but this is completely free. So seven o'clock
central, Wednesday night, the 29th, right in advance
of what the devil has tried to make the most evil day of
the year. Folks, let's use this moment, amen? All
right, enough said about that. I'll let pastor do the
rest. And then very quickly, Omaha Victory Campaign is
coming up November 6th through the 9th. And so be
here. I know many of you are already registered, but
there's information there. You can go to
lohchurch.org/events and be involved. Let's be here that
weekend. Just learn the word from one of the most
long-lasting, incredible generals of the faith,
Brother Kenneth Copeland, who was the one who was
responsible for allowing Flashpoint to be birthed and
launched. And so we want to show him honor. How many of
you will honestly say Flashpoint carried you after
2020? I am so thankful to all of the Flashpoint team.
And I can say this, and you guys have heard me say it
before, throughout all of the 2020 election nonsense
and all the Trump haters and everybody that was just, and
the news media that just absolutely twisted
everything and lied through their teeth about
everything. Pastor Hank never once, never once did
he falter. He said, "I know what God told me about
Trump, that he will be in office and he is going to be
back." And never once did I ever see him falter. And I
don't know if he ever had any thoughts in the middle
of the night. At least he never told me about it. He
never uttered one word negative out of his mouth.
And so I was so thankful for that. Thank you, Pastor
Hank, for being steadfast in that time. And then that
Sunday on the 9th, Bishop Keith Butler will be here, a
longtime friend. John Shuttlesworth will be at the
event as well. So be a part of that. And then just last
but not least, guys, I know I'm moving right past
Christmas, New Year's Eve at Lord of Hosts Church is
right around the corner. And I'm telling you, if you've
never been to a Holy Ghost party until you've been to
New Year's Eve at LOH. So you need to be here. And we
don't usually go till midnight, but I don't know.
We knocked on the door of it last year, I think. I don't
remember, but man, it was so fun. It's just a breakout
night. So be part of that. And Janet, we have hotel
blocks. Is that true? Are they available yet? Not
quite. So those are open. So you can go out to the church
website, find information about that and be part of
it. If you're coming in from out of town, we do have room
rates. So be involved in that. Amen. All right, well,
let's get quickly to the offering. They're gonna put
up our scripture. We will receive a special offering
for Pastor John. I wanna give you an opportunity to
sow into his ministry at the end of the service. But
here, let's go back to what we did. How many of you were
here last week? What was our scripture last week? Mark
11:22, this works for everything. Somebody say
everything. Mark 11:22, Jesus said to them, this is
the four words, say it with me, have faith in God.
That's it, have faith in God. And you know that works
for every circumstance. You ever think about what Jesus
prayed for Peter? He said to Peter, you know, Peter, the
devil has come to sift you like wheat. But I prayed for
you that your faith, you can say it this way, your faith
in God will not fail. Say it again. Say have faith in
God. So when you're facing a financial situation, when
you're facing a difficult challenge, you're going
through something. Anybody ever been through something?
You've been through a hard time when you don't know
what to do? Have faith in God. I would encourage you
to say that phrase every day. In fact, do it right now.
Say your name. Say, Brenda, or say your name. I'll say Brenda.
Brenda, have faith. Now say your name and say, "Have faith."
- Have faith. - In God.
- Now every time you're
tempted to do something else, right? You're tempted
to worry. You're tempted to be fearful. You're tempted
to be frustrated or in anguish about something.
Have faith in God. You know that'll work if you're going
through something in your family. You're
going through something in your business. Maybe
it's taken a little turn downward. Have faith in
God. You know, I have faith that I tithe. Pastor and I
prayed that prayer the other day. We said, Lord, we're
tithers. And I, you know, I went back to my accounting
records and I just double checked it. I want to make
sure I didn't miss a dollar. 'Cause I, you know, if you
did it unintentionally, God understands that. But my
point is, is I want to be on target with it because I
know the promise connected to it. The promise connected
to the tither is, A, God will rebuke the devourer.
Man, if that's not just enough, my goodness. Had
somebody, people tell me over the years, well, you
know, tithing is Old Testament. I said, well, if
it's Old Testament and I do it, do I still get the
promise? God will rebuke the devourer for my sake. I
mean, if you just get rid of the devil, the lock gets
fixed. But then he said, he doesn't just stop there. He
said, I'll open the windows of heaven and pour you out a
blessing that you won't have room to receive it. Come on,
how many of you could use some big old fat blessings
straight from the throne room of God? It's like open
the window and pfft. I'll take that. So I have faith
in that. I have faith when God says something. But you
know, God didn't just stop there. He said, have, Jesus
said, have faith in God. Because if you will then say
to this mountain, you have a mountain you're fighting.
You know the thing about mountains, you can't see
past them to the other side. That's what the devil, he
likes to put up these roadblocks that make you
think, you know, you'll never get through this one.
I mean, yeah, you may have got through a few things
before, but you ain't never going to get through this
one. This is it. Mountain. Jesus said, don't worry, you
don't have to stare at the mountain forever. For verily
I say to you, if you shall say to this mountain, get up
and get out of here, be removed, it'll have to obey
you. And don't doubt it in your heart. I'll say, see
Pastor Brenda, that's a problem. Sometimes I say,
I'm not doubting in my heart. Have faith in God.
When you doubt, say that phrase, I have faith in God.
When that thought tries to hit you in the middle of the
night, I have faith in God. When the enemy comes after
you regarding your health, I have faith in God. And Jesus
said, if you won't doubt and you'll have faith in God,
you'll say to it, get up and get on out of here and
you'll have whatever you say. (congregation applauding)
Jesus didn't stop preaching, He said,
"And whatsoever you ask, believe you receive it."
Believe you receive it. Well, how do I do that,
Pastor? Say it, say, "I have faith in God." Look at your
neighbor, say, "Do you got any faith in God?" If they
looked at you not sure, say, "Well, you better get with
it." Time for some faith in God. "But I don't feel it."
Nobody said you have to feel it. You don't have to feel
it, you say it. "I have faith in God." All right,
let's put the giving information up on the
screen. God bless all of you that are giving from around
the world. And as we come into the last two months of
our giving, this is a good time to make sure your tithe
is on point. It's a good time to make sure your
building, in fact, people have asked, you know, where
should I give through the end of this year, give into
the building fund. We want to push that up a little
bit. We're still working on that $400,000 goal. So let's
get that wiped out today. Let's do that and take care
of that. And let's, you know, what are we, almost in
November now. Wow, where did 2025 go? So give into the
building project and then your tithes should be the
general fund. So all of those different ways to
give. So there's the mobile app, text to give, website,
envelope and a QR code. And let's just make this last
little bit of our giving amazing. I wanna end 2025 on
that high note in my own personal giving. You should
have that same goal so we start 2026 correctly, amen? All right,
when you have your giving ready, stand up on your feet as quickly
as possible. Some of you might still be writing. If you've got
your phone, your device, all of you online. We're gonna do our
declaration together but Imma pray for you first. Because I
have faith in God that when we pray right now, come on, right
now, we're gonna get an answer. So hold that device out there,
do it with an attitude, act like its a sword in the face of
Satan. Yeah somebody over there is shaking theirs. I mean just
shaking their phone. I don't know what that does to your
phone, 911 might think its an emergency. You just tell them
it is an emergency I'm destroying the devil, all is
well. Heavenly father, I pray for these people under the
sound of my voice and everybody that's on the internet and
around the world and those watching by OVTV, we thank you
Lord, for your anointing that is upon these tithes and these
offerings. And father these are our prophetic acts that
we have faith in God. We believe you. We say to every
mountain, "Be removed and cast into the sea." We don't
doubt that what we get, what we say is what we get. And
Lord, we lift up our prayer requests before you. And we
believe whatever things we desire when we pray, we
believe we receive it in Jesus' name. Shout amen to
add your agreement. All right, let's do our decree
together. Say it with me. We declare the campus and
ministry of Lord of Hosts Church shall be increased,
expanded, and debt free. We decree it shall happen
without delay. We say to every heavenly assignment,
be built up and finish. We say that we have all the
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 prophesy 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, shout like you believe
it as the ushers begin to serve you.
- All right, ushers, you can go ahead and ush the people
and you can make a friendly smile 'cause God loves that
you're a forgiver, right? And those of you online.
Well, before I bring up our guest speaker, I'm very
excited about the events of this week. And by the way, I
was not able to be on Flashpoint last week, but I
will be on tomorrow and Tuesday. So I get to kind of
get back to my Monday slot tomorrow. So we'll have fun
with that and then again on Tuesday. And just, you know,
write Gene long letters and tell him to give me more
than, what does he say, 20 seconds or whatever. So,
well, hey, real quick, I don't want to take too much
time away from our guest speaker because the reason
we have guest speaker come in so that you hear from
them, right? And, but I just felt like this would be
fitting. Pastor Brenda had mentioned this Wednesday,
we're going to be doing a recapturing a generation night,
really just a few days before Halloween. And of course
our guest, John Amachukwu. Am I pronouncing it right, Amachukwu?
Oh man, thanks. He is so big, he'd get me in a
headlock. So, but anyway. Right? (laughing) Anyway.
But he has been fighting for the children. I have been
fighting for the children. And we want to stand in a
place of victory for your child. And so a lot of
people don't realize something, you know, just a
few days with Halloween, you know, they always like to do
the Halloween alternatives. And I wanna say, well, you
know, the Devil's crowd never does that with our
resurrection services and things like that, right? And
we gotta understand that they think we're fools,
those that are involved in the occult, witchcraft, and
sacrifice babies on Halloween night while your
kids are trick or treating and playing, they ain't
playing. They're trying to gain more power, more
access, right? People don't realize that there is
certain demons, obviously, that's connected to blood.
It's why Jesus, after he shed his blood, the Holy
Spirit came, 'cause there's a connection between blood
and spirit. And so, you know, we as Christians are
playing our evangelical games. The enemy are
sacrificing humans, children, right? Ask our law
enforcement. They get the connection between the
occult and much of homicides and things that go on this
week, and kids missing, and things like that. We gotta
get serious. And so we're gonna pray, and we're gonna
break the assignment of the enemy that is trying to come
not only against this generation, but your
children. The other thing is, it's no secret that we
have been fighting for a generation of children with
all the sexual exploitation of the mutilation of
transgender children, you know, being without parental
consent, that they can change, right, their
supposed gender, and mutilate themselves, and the
parents don't have a say, and we know that those in
our loony liberal government were pushing for that, and
then it's no secret, we're seeing liberalism and all
kinds of humanism and indoctrination of our kids,
even on the college level, right? Thank God for people
like Charlie Kirk, who gave so much of his time to help
to recapture a generation. So we're gonna take that
night and we are really going to pray and we're
gonna minister, we'll see what God says. But the other
thing I felt instructed from the Lord, and this is me
talking from my heart and that's this, we often say we
wanna recapture a generation. But here's what
we do, we do at Genesis 19, what Lot did. He was willing
to shove his pure virgin daughters out to the
perverted culture, send them out to school and have no
idea what they're being taught or what they're
reading in the libraries. We just shove our kids out
there, out the door, right? Or we walk out the door and
we shove our kids out in the living room and let them
just have all access to YouTube or, you know,
whatever, gaming, and we have no idea the perverted
stuff that is coming back. Most parents would be
horrified if they knew how much pornography their
children probably watch, have been exposed to. And
the parents have been clueless. And so there had
to be angelic intervention that had to come down to
literally pull Lot back inside and close the door
from him, throwing the next generation out to the
perverted evil of what was happening in the day. And so
I wanna encourage you to help me, and here's why. On
this night on Wednesday, I want them to put up a few of
the children's series. It won't be long, I'm gonna
make it very quick, but these are some of the things
that we're offering. I hear people say all the time,
well, we want alternatives for our children. Well, here
it is, but then people won't buy that. They'll go and
spend money on Disney to put more and more perversion in
the cartoons, right? Hide it, but now they're not
hiding it anymore. It used to be in the old cartoons,
you could find the hidden things. Now they're being so
blatant with it. It's nothing to see, you know,
homosexuals parading as cartoon characters and
transgenders. Now they've got Vampirina that's coming
out, Disney, right? To do what? Teach your kids how to
be vampires. Okay, show Captain Zepto. We've got,
you know, these alternatives. This is great
stuff. And now the Lord instructed me, said, "I want
you to put in an animation." Because we're trying to
recapture generation and these are not, listen, these
have been tested on three markets. They've been tested
among the Jews because the king is called Elion and I
had the Jewish community of Omaha, I handed it to a few
of the Jewish people, I didn't know and they all
came back and said, "Oh, thank you for honoring the
Jewish people." I said, "Oh, yes, my honor, my honor."
I'm thinking, what in the world is this? And they
said, "King Elion, Almighty God." I'm like, "Yeah, I
knew that." So then, and I tested it out on some
Christians. They're like, "Oh, these are such
biblically themed, "but they're not over
Christianese, but good morals." And then I thought,
"All right, God, "that's the second test market. "I'm
gonna try on the heathens up the street." So I gave these
to the heathens up the street. They came back and
said, "Oh, man, thank you so much "for keeping that stuff
out of there." I said, "What stuff?" You know, that
churchinese or whatever. He didn't say church, I think
he said church beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
but I can't say that beyond the pulpit, but
anyway. I said, "Oh, yeah, yeah." He said, "Oh, these
are so funny, these are so funny." So we're really
trying to recapture a generation. Now here's the
thing, it was gonna cost me $1.2 million to get three
more out, but now it's only gonna cost me $300,000, and
I believe by the time we are done, we are going to get
all of that and more. So, with that, before I bring up
our guests, how many of you ever watched Carol Burnett?
Remember that? Misha Shuegans? Remember that?
Well, the old ones. Well, anyway, there's a lady,
Louise D'Art. You ever seen? She'd been on Carol Burnett
a few times. She does the voice of Granny Z. Louise,
you might be watching. She loves our ministry. We love
you, Louise. Thank you for doing this. And I want to
show you how incredible the animation is that we're
doing. So can I show you a 30-second clip? And then are
you going to help us to recapture a generation? Are
you going to help us? We're going to knock out that
300,000 like this. I'm going to get on the phone. We're
going to talk to you. And I'm going to ask you to go
to your granny and ask her for some help for Pastor
Hank. OK, so without further ado, here is a 30-second
clip, and then we're going to bring up our guest
speaker. Here we go. - Darlings, I can reverse
everything. - I think that would be best.
- To do this properly, I'll need total privacy. When I get done,
your captain won't have any hair problem at all. Trust me.
- Well, she said she'd fix it. - guess we could work the
room for a bit. - Fine. One lap and we're back,
though. Kenneby, monitor this very spot.
- Affirmative. - Now let's get to work.
You don't need to worry. I'll fix you right up.
- Coming in loud and clear. - Rocking you with another hour
of... - dimwit!
- Buckle up for the galactic quest of Captain Zepto.
- Wait, how's my hair? - Well, buckle up for the next
adventure of Captain Zepto. You know who the narrator is?
(congregation applauding)
So anyway, thank you for your help on that.
And I'm really, really excited. We are gonna get
that done. Did you like that? That's just a short
clip. So we'll have a lot of fun with that. All right,
well, it's my honor, and those of you that are
watching, to introduce our guest speaker today. And I
first heard about him, I think it was Gene Bailey.
Gene, if you're watching, he had sent years ago a clip of
this gentleman that was going into schools and
standing down these demonic, and I say demonic, school
board superintendents, mixed up people, man, and just
presenting the books that they're allowing in the
schools, and he was reading certain things, and they're
saying, "Get these filthy things out of here," and I'm
thinking, "Well, you're the one "that put 'em in there."
And I started liking this guy, and then all of a
sudden, I believe it was Gene sent me a video of John
getting arrested at one of the schools, and I said, I
really like this guy. And he got arrested, and these big
cops, now John's huge, but these big cops came and they
handcuffed him, and he just so, you know, John's just so
gentle, he puts the handcuffs on, and I'm
sitting there prophesying to him that song, break every
chain, break every chain, He breaks every chain. I'm
like, John, just break that chain. You know, I'm sure
you could have. But anyway, I said, I like this guy. And
I knew in my heart that we needed to have him come to
Lord of Hosts Church. We've done a few Flashpoint events
together. Of course, he's been a major voice for God
in this nation, really around the world. And so it
is our honor. I want you to stand to your feet and I
want you that are watching, and I want you to put the
hand clap mojos, or whatever they call it, and let's
welcome John Amachukwu to Lord of Hosts Church,
Stonewall, Nebraska, to tear it up, John! I love you,
man. All right, God bless you. Thank you. Have fun.
(audience applauding)
- Now let's turn our adoration this morning
towards the God of the Bible, and let's worship His
Holy Name. I want you to clap your hands louder for
Him than you did for me. I want you to celebrate Him
more than you did for me. He is the reason why we exist.
Come on, come on, come on. Open up your mouth and shout
with a voice of triumph in this place. We need his
presence the more. Come on, come on. Everybody,
everybody ought to praise his name. He's worthy of the
glory. He's worthy of the honor. He's worthy of the
praise. Just about 30 more seconds. Come on, come on.
We ravish your name, Jesus. We ravish your name, Jesus.
You're the soon-coming king. Without you we can do
nothing. And so we lift our hands in the sanctuary. And
we thank you for being God. You are the Lord of Hosts.
You are the God that sits between the cherubims. You
are the God high and seated upon the throne. Your train
fills the temple. Less of us, more of you. Lord, as we
go into this time of preaching, let your spirit,
[SPEAKING in tongues] strengthen me for the work.
We rebuke the evil one. We destroy the cords of Satan.
We bring down every high thought and imagination,
every spirit of disturbance, every suppressing spirit,
every mental attack. We destroy you right now. And
we ask that the name of Jesus would get the glory
and live big in this moment. If you believe that, clap
your hands right now and give God some praise in this
place. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I
give honor to your pastor on this morning. Come on, help
me celebrate this man of God. The one and only Pastor
Hank Kunneman. Come on. He's a man that stands for truth,
that stands for righteousness, and stands
for holiness. And before you take your seat, let's
celebrate his beautiful bride, Pastor Brenda. Come
on, come on, come on. Let's honor her as well. We thank
you so much. You may be seated in the presence of
the Lord. You don't know how much you all have blessed me
thus far this morning. While Pastor Brenda was up, she
was all in my message. And I'm sitting back there now,
Lord, I'm glad I was obedient to you as I
wrestled with what you would give me to preach. This is a
sermon that the Lord has used me to minister before.
I first preached it about maybe four or five years
ago, and the Lord gave it to me to bring it forth before
you all today. And while she's up there talking about
peace being to you, I'm like, shabbat. Yes, Lord.
Lord, you are speaking and you are talking, and I feel
good because you only want to get it right. You know,
it's not my message, it's his. And so we honor the
Lord for that. We thank God for your leadership here at
this church. It's an honor for me to be here. I also
want to thank God for my beautiful bride, my wife,
Crystal Amanchukwu, who I have been married to now for
17 years. (audience applauding) She's back home
doing ministry work at the church. We had a women's
weekend this weekend and God is using her mightily for
this weekend along with my mother-in-law for those
services. But I do want to honor my wife. She gave
birth to all three of our children. Now you're
probably wondering why I said it that way because we
live in a time and a day where people believe that
men can get pregnant. There is a method to my madness.
Just hold on till you see. We live in a day where they
believe men can get pregnant. We are starting to
confuse a man's beer gut with his ability to carry a
baby. And it takes a demon for a person to do as I have
done. And every man, if you were in the delivery room
when your wife gave birth to your child, raise your hand.
Amen. Now it takes an insane man to sit there and witness
the miraculous and divine miracle of bringing a child
into the world and say at the end of that that you
want to compete with your wife and mimic that and want
to do the same thing. No, when I left out of the
delivery room all three times I was there, I was
present, I was present when we made the babies and I was
present when they came into the world. A big hand clap
goes right there. That's a message. I'll come back for
that one. Look at your neighbor and shall be
present. Hey, that's right. But yeah, um, I left out
saying to myself, what manner of woman is this?
Even the seas obey, thinking that she could walk on water
because it's, it's a, it's a divine thing. It's a holy
thing. You know, there's a sanctity that comes along
with femininity, but we live in a day where men are
trying to rob women of that. But I put things in his
proper place. We honor the women of God. Come on. We
celebrate them and we seek to protect femininity
because men are the direct, direct recipients of it. We
should protect it. Amen. I'm going to the word of the
Lord on this, on this morning. I honor my children
as well. I have three, John Patrick. He's the oldest.
He's 16, middle child, Pamela, and Jewel. She's 14,
my daughter, and my youngest is John Jr. who Pastor Hank
talked about earlier. He drew a picture of me not too
long ago. He was elated and excited to do it. He was so
celebratory, he was in the office and said, "Daddy, I
have something to show you, but you can't come in right
now until I finish it." And so when he finishes his
drawing, he walks out and he brings it to me. He said,
"Are you ready?" I said, "All right, I'm ready." And
he shows me this picture and he draws a beautiful
American flag. You know, I teach my children to be
patriotic. I believe that America is the greatest
nation on the face of the planet. Blacks and
minorities do better here than in any place or country
on the face of the planet, including Africa. I'm
blessed to be in the United States of America. I'm not
gonna be walking around with a BLM spirit. Mad at
America. The devil is a liar. So he drew a beautiful
flag, and then he drew an image of me, and he put me
in a blue suit with a red tie. And then at the top of
it, he put President John Amanchukwu. (audience laughing)
Now, in the mind of my eight year old son, he
believes that his daddy is worthy enough who also bears
the same name. He's a junior. He believes that his
daddy is worthy enough to be the next president or so of
the United States of America. And so maybe one
day I'll become the first black president that America
has ever had. (audience cheering) What do y'all
think about that? Come on. (audience cheering) All
right, let me go ahead and preach. I'm meddling. I'm
messing too much. John 20:19-23. John 20:19-23.
I'll be reading from the King James Version. And it reads,
"Then the same day at evening." The text there is
alluding to some things that happened prior to, and we
know what happened. That very thing that Jesus spoke
of and prophesied of came into manifestation and into
fruition. He tore down his temple and was able to
rebuild it in three days. Verse 19 says, "Then the
same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
when the doors were shut, where the disciples were
assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood
in the mist and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you."
And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands
and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw
the Lord. Verse 21, then said Jesus to them again,
"Peace be unto you, as my Father hath sent me, even so
I send you." Verse 22, "And when he had said this, he
breathed on them and saith unto them, receive ye the
Holy Ghost, whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted
unto them, and whosoever sins you retain, they are
retained. Verse 19 shows us that God came forth and
proclaimed peace. Everybody shout peace. Verse 20
displays before us that God displayed proof by showing
his hands and his side. Everybody shout proof. And
then when we get to verse 22, we see where Jesus
breathes on his disciples and he gives them a down
payment, a little something something if you're from the
south, a little something something. To tie them over
until the fullness of the spirit would come. Everybody
shout power. And that's my message this morning. Peace,
proof, and power. In the early 1900s, Alice Bailey,
who was known as the prophetess of the New Age
movement, she concocted a ten-point plan on how she
would deconstruct Western civilization. Keep in mind
that Alice Bailey received her esoteric knowledge from
a demonic medium by the name of Dwal Kul. Now this spirit
that used her came forth through satanic power. And
this satanic power that she used was given to her
through demonology. She was not a righteous woman. She
was not a holy woman. She was diabolical. Even within
that, she is one of the original writers for the
Luciferian Trust, which is a print organization that was
steeped in satanology that was used to bring about
demonic renewal in America. The first point that she
highlights as it relates to her plan to deconstruct
Western civilization, first and foremost, she sought to
take God and prayer out of the education system. And we
saw that this came into fruition in 1962 with the
Ingle V. Vattel court case. During that time frame, a
wicked woman by the name of Madeline Murray O'Hare used
her son William to push her communist, atheist, and
Marxist viewpoints. She projected her belief system
on her child and then used her child as a pawn. I'm
glad to report that her son William is now saved,
sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost. But sadly,
his mother is probably in the hottest part of hell.
And through this quest to remove God from the public
education system during that time frame, zero Christian
organizations came forward to raise a brief to stop
this from happening. The Christian Church was silent
then and the church is silent today. According to
former Secretary of Education William Bennett,
he revealed in his cultural indexes that between 1960
and 1990, as a result of prayer, school-sponsored
prayer being removed from the public school system,
divorce doubled, teenage pregnancy went up 200%.
Listen to me. Teen suicide increased by 300%. Violent
crime went up by 500%. And he maintains that there is a
strong correlation between the expulsion of
school-sponsored prayer and what he was able to see in
his cultural indexes in 1960 and in 1990. Fast forward to
2025, we have transgender teachers who now have access
to our school systems. And in the name of Drag Queen
Story Hour, they have been given carte blanche, access
to libraries and to our children. And men walk in in
dresses with cosmetic femininity. Being a woman is
more than a wig. Being a woman is more than some
makeup. Being a woman is more than some fishnet
stockings and some high heels and some stilettos.
Being a woman is more than some lingerie. I can't get
no help in here. But we have men who have now gained
access to our children. And through this same agenda,
they're projecting onto children and now allowing
these same men who are boys at times to gain access to
bathrooms. And now our daughters and our wives have
to consider whether or not there's a man over there
imitating them as they go to the stall. We also have the
same travesty in sports, where boys and men are
trying to compete against women. And every time I see
this take place, I'm baffled because we're witnessing
fathers sitting in the bleachers. Eat Mike and
Ikes. Eat M&M's, plain and/or with peanut. Eat
their Twizzlers, eat their Trollies, eat their Sugar
Daddies, eat their popcorn, and you know you gotta have
it all with a Diet Coke, right? It tastes better with
a Diet Coke. And sit in the bleachers as their daughters
are being defrauded. Hear me today, something is wrong
with you, dad. Something's wrong with you, dad. You
have a punk spirit. That's a punk spirit. If you can sit
in the bleacher and watch your daughter be defrauded
by a man and say nothing, just sit back and say, hey,
well, I don't want to cause a disruption. The devil is a
liar. At some point, Lord have mercy, testosterone
rises up. And if you lost yours, you can get some
more. They sell it. But something in you ought to
make you say, I can't let my baby girl be treated that
way. I got to move on. Point number two, I'm taking too
much time there. Number two, she wanted to reduce
parental authority over the children. And we see this
take place today all around our nation. You have some
school systems where kids can go and transition at
school. They leave home as Jonna. Go to school and
become John. Parents go to plays and programs and
wonder why they never heard their son's name be
mentioned. Solely because they have a different alias
and identity when they get to school. God forbid. We
have school systems today where children can go and
receive information about how to get an abortion. You
know, Planned Parenthood provides the majority of sex
ed curriculum to kids in America. And our kids go to
school and they receive this content and information, and
they are duped. They are deluded. They're confused.
Because at school, they're taught that you can murder a
baby at any stage of gestation. But then when you
get to the average church in America, the preacher
leadership gets weak. And they preach a gospel where
you can't discern whether or not where the pastor stands
on the sanctity of life. And so they're confused at
school. And then they're confused at church. Let me
help you out. Every time I turn in this book from
Genesis to Revelations, we see nothing but God's clear
expression towards life. We have this thing called the
10 Commandments. Number six says that thou shall not
murder. That's enough to tell the preacher where you
should stand on the sanctity of life. I've never seen a
heartbeat bill in the book, in the Bible. I've never
seen a place where it said you can practice
infanticide. Never seen a place where we should lobby
to see if we can get 20 weeks. The devil is a liar.
I'm not lobbying for infanticide for 20 weeks or
for a heartbeat bill. I am lobbying for thus saith the
Lord. And the Bible says, Proverbs 6:16-19
that God has hands that shed innocent
blood. Now you may not like me saying that, but you
know, that's your business. You have a right to disagree
with me, but you don't have a right to disagree with
God. The Bible says, "Let God be true, and every man a
liar." We have liars in the Democrat Party who are lying
to us about the sanctity of life. And we have liars in
the Republican Party. I've dealt with lying liberals as
I've traveled this country. And I've also dealt with
some ratchet rhinos. The pendulum swings both ways,
but there's only one political party, and we know
who it is. It's the Democrat Party that's trying to make
this commonplace. Republicans have to figure
out how to message it to win over Christian
conservatives. But it's the Democrat Party that wants to
kill babies all the way up to 40 weeks, and if the baby
survives the botched abortion, they say kill it.
The devil is a liar. Number three, she wanted to destroy
the Judeo-Christian family structure. And we see that
taking place today. The church is confused. We don't
know who we are. Reformed, unformed, deformed,
conformed. All of these different statements and
sayings on what on what on what we believe. I'm of this
sect and I'm of that sect. Some believe in
continuationism. Some believe that the gifts have
ceased. But when you read the Word of God, you see
that there is continuationism. Hello,
somebody in this place. I want everything that this
book promises me. We need the Father. We need the Son.
But we also need the third part of the Trinity. Where
would I be? Lord, have mercy. If it wasn't for the
fourth man in the fire, y'all ain't gonna help me in
here. Where would, hey, I feel like running in this
place. I feel a run in the Holy Ghost. Where would I
be? If it wasn't for the fourth man in the fire. See,
we need the Holy Ghost. We need the Holy Spirit each
and every day of our lives. Know it continues. I believe
that you can lay hands on someone that's sick and
according to a Shabbat, the power of God, if it is his
will, that person will get up and that sickness will
vanish. According to God's will. I believe that. I
believe it. Number four. Help me, Holy Ghost. Number
four. Alice Bailey said, "If sex is free, then make
abortion legal and make it easy." We know what that has
done. 70 plus million babies have been aborted since the
inception of Roe v. Wade. A travesty. Amongst black
people, 20 million of black people are missing because
of abortion. And then the NAACP, an organization
that's supposed to be for the advancement of colored
people, they bowed to the LGBTQ agenda a long time
ago. They're no longer trying to advance colored
people, they're trying to advance queer people. And
recently the NAACP showed their face. Instead of
endorsing Lieutenant Governor Winston Sears, a
black woman, and intelligent and articulate, all of it.
She got the whole package. Instead of them endorsing
the black candidate, they endorsed Abigail Spanberger,
a baby killer, a modern day Margaret Sanger. That's who
they supported. Now when the so-called organization is
supposed to, you know, advance the cause of colored
people, can't support the black candidate because
they're Republican? That means that that organization
has become defunct. I despise the NAACP with the
perfect hatred. You have lost your mission and you've
lost your agenda and the hand of God is against you
because of your error and your wrongdoing. My name is
John Amanchukwu and I approve that message. That's
the way I feel about that. That's the way that I feel
about that. Number five, Alice Bailey said, "Make
divorce easy and legal, free people from the concept of
marriage for life." We live in a day where you get
divorced simply because you're not happy. Because
marriage is about being happy. Right? Gotta be happy
every day. Well, I'm not happy, or... Or you become
Aisha Curry, married to a four-time NBA
champion. He purports to be a decent and
clean man. Now, I don't like his politics, but he seems
like he's a very much so involved dad who supports a
nuclear family. But she goes on a campaign to demonize
him and show that she didn't want to have children,
didn't want to get married, didn't want to do this,
didn't want to do that, and she's sitting there as a
multi-millionaire. I mean, how awful can you be? She's
not happy, so therefore she's gonna tear down her
home in the name of getting back at him because she
never just wanted to be a wife or a homemaker or
support the work that God has given him. Hear me
today. There are many people today who want to get
married, but they don't want the function that comes
along with it. They want 20 bridesmaids, up some
beautiful pictures, a wonderful moment. They want
to post it for the world to see. But when when the band
goes away, and when people go home, and you have to
conform as one flesh and adhere to what God has set
in place, trouble ensues. Let me move on. I'm losing
my amen corner. Number six, Alice Bailey said make
homosexuality an alternative lifestyle. Y'all already
know what happens when you do that. Genesis 1:26, 27,
28. We see there we're made in the image of God. We see
there where if you do it God's way with the male and
female construct, you can replenish the earth, be
fruitful and multiply. Anything that keeps you from
doing so is not a lifestyle, it's a death style. Life
comes about when you do it God's way. You're gonna need
a seed, and you're gonna need some eggs. Too much
seeds, you won't have any babies. Too many eggs, you
won't have any babies. It's only when you do it God's
way (audience applauding) that the opportunity for a
life coming forward can take place. Number seven, she
said, "Debase art and make it run mad." In other words,
she said, "Use things, even the theaters, even theater
and arts to push your agenda." Number eight, she
said, "Use the media to promote "and change
mindsets." We call it the fake news. The media
typically reports what they want you to know about a
story. They always have their narrative. And there's
a media strategy called jamming. They know how to
put something in front of you long enough until you
become desensitized towards it. How do we convince
people to support new age abortion laws? Jam them up,
put it before them. Talk about a woman's right to
choose. How do we convince people to embrace
transgenderism? Convince people that, you know, we
should, we should be tolerant. We should be
accepting. We should allow people to belong and we
shouldn't judge. Don't judge. God didn't call us to
judge. Don't, don't, don't judge. No, no, no, that's
not what it says. Judge not lest you be judged. Which is
the same measure you meet out. So I can't be out here,
and I'm secretly a trans gender Preaching against
transgenders. How you gonna do that if you're one?
That's what that text means. It doesn't mean we can't
call out iniquity and sin. The Bible says, "Mark those
who cause divisions contrary to the gospel, to the
doctrine." In other words, point it out. But today,
when you point stuff out, instead of people fighting
the issues, they fight the fighters. They fight the
people who fight. They remind me of David's
brothers. David's brothers would not fight. But when
David showed up to the Valley of Elah ready to
fight, bringing some lunch, they wanted to convince him
not to fight. No, we need to support the fighters. That's
why I support your pastor. What he's doing with this
project with media and the books, the cartoons, the
comics, don't, don't fight the fighter, support the
fighter. I'm going to do everything I possibly can to
support him in his work because we need it as never
before. And number nine, she said create an interfaith
movement. Put Christianity on equal par with all other
faiths. That means that the Christian is going to the
same place as the Buddhist, as the Islamist, as those
who believe in Reverend Sun Yon Moon, and so forth and
so on. But we have this pesky scripture that tells
us that I'm the way, the truth, and the life, and no
man come to the Father but by me. Now what are you
gonna do with that? I'm not going to the same place as
the Islamist, as the Buddhist, as the person who
serves Big Belly Buddha. We're not going to the same
place. I'm on my way to heaven. And I heard a song
say, it said, "None but the righteous shall see God." If
you believe that in this place, give God a hand clap
of praise. Nothing but the righteous shall see God. And
number 10, number 10, number 10. The last thing that
Alice Bailey said is this. She said, "Get governments
to make all these law." Y'all ready for the
clincher? And then get the church, the ecclesia, to
endorse these changes. I just summarized and gave you
a clear viewpoint of why we're in the mess today in
this country, that we are. And the church is constantly
bending over for points one through nine. Bending over,
tuck-tailing and running, won't touch issues with a
10-foot pole, afraid to offend. Let me tell you
something, everybody in this place, you know this to be
the truth, that before you got saved, the preacher
preached and it convicted you. You don't get saved for
any other reason but conviction. When my mind
goes back to that low place that I was in sin, chasing
after youthful lusts, it was the preached Word of God. It
was the preacher stepping on my toes and just, I mean,
just driving his foot upon my toes. It was a prick that
convicted me. The word is a prick, it's sharp. That's
what Saul said on the road to Damascus. The Lord was
speaking to him and told him, "It's hard for you to
kick against a prick." That's what God says to him,
"It's hard for you to kick against a prick." What's the
prick? It's the conviction. It's what he had seen and
heard. Through the martyrdom of Stephen, you can't fight
against it. And if you are not convicted of sin, then
you can't get saved. We have too many people claiming to
know Jesus as Lord and Savior and you experience no
conviction. It takes conviction to make a man
say, "What must I do to be saved?" It takes conviction
to make a man who's strung out on coke and dope and
using all kinds of alcohol to soothe himself, it takes
conviction to make him put that bottle down and say man
I desire more than a pint of liquor. I need to know Jesus
as my personal Savior and when you move from
conviction to a confirmation towards the gospel then God
gives you power to remove that vice and that cord that
has you bound. Anybody ever been bound before him? But
conviction is a thing that would get you out. So this is the
point that John seeks to make, my friends, in John 20:19
that when Jesus is no longer in the midst of
the church, present and visible as he was with his
disciples, it's easy for fear to creep in. That's
what we see the disciples today in our main text.
They're fearful, they're afraid because Jesus is
gone. They don't know what to do. They may be the next
ones to be killed. They may be the next Charlie Kirk.
They may be the next person who the enemy may seek to
take away. On the night that Peter was set free from
prison by the angel of the Lord, according to Acts 12,
verse 13, the Bible says that Peter knocked at the
door of the gate and a damsel came and opened the
door named Rhoda. In Mark chapter 2, four men who were
carrying a paralytic man were hampered from entering
into the front door of the house, so they tore the roof
off in order to get to Jesus. In Luke 13:25,
follow me here. While Jesus was preaching about the
straight gate, he says, "When the master of the
house has locked the door, "it will be too late. "He
will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Lord, open
the door for us.' But he will reply, 'I don't know you, oh,
where you come from?'" In John chapter 10:9,
it says that, "I am the door, by me if any
man enter in, he shall be saved, he shall go in and
out, and he shall also find pasture." But in verse 19 of
John 20, "While it was getting late in the evening,
Jesus doesn't knock on the door, nor does he rip open
the roof, but he defies the laws of physics by divinely
teleporting into the upper room. Without a door being
opened, without a frame being moved, Jesus just
shows up in the midst of their fear. And when Jesus
shows up, he always brings peace. His presence, his
mere presence is peaceful. The text says that they were
assembled for the fear of the Jews. They were together
in that upper room, prepared because they didn't know
what would happen next. Hear me today, church. Fear in
the Greek is the word phobos, which is where we
get the English word phobia. And a phobia is an extreme,
irrational, or unnecessary fear. It's the fear that
people felt during the pandemic. I mean the
pandemic. It's the fear of going into the house of God
and fulfilling God's command that we not forsake the
assembling of ourselves together. It's a fear that's
conjured up in one's mind due to the lack of trust,
belief, and failure to conquer the unknown. As I
speak, there are over 1,000 known phobias. And this list
grows daily. To list a few, you have autophobia, which
is the fear of heights and mountains. I don't tell this
often, but... (audience laughing) I have about, at
times, with autophobia. Isn't that something God
made me six foot four? (audience laughing) And I
don't like driving up mountains, I don't like
riding down mountains, the Bible doesn't tell us to do
that. (audience laughing) The Bible doesn't say drive
up a mountain. Or drive down a mountain. It says speak to
the mountain. See, that's the problem. We driving up
things that we should be speaking to. Y'all bear with
my humor on this morning. Then you have teleophobia,
which is the fear of religious ceremonies. The
fear of going to church. Ladies, if you are dating a
guy who has telephobia, leave him alone. Fellas, she
has a slim waist, it came from the factory and
everything in between. But if she doesn't want to go to
the house of the Lord, leave her, leave her where she is.
Can I get a witness in here? Oh Lord. Let me stop, let me
stop. Then you have a maxophobia, which is the
fear of riding or driving cars. I have an aunt who has
a maxophobia. If you put her in your vehicle, make sure
you have gap insurance. She's gonna tear your car
up. From point A to point B. Then you have aerophobia,
which is the fear of swallowing air. (audience laughing)
Then you have palatophobia, which is the
fear, and don't laugh at this one, of bald people.
(audience laughing) The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh
away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Let me tell you,
this is a Gillette special. Gillette, the best a man can
get. 15 strokes to the back in the shower and I'm good.
Then you have falacrophobia, which is the fear of
becoming bald. Then you have calligraphobia, and this
phobia comes with the demon. It's the fear of beautiful
women. Why a person would be afraid of a beautiful woman
or doesn't make sense to me. Then you have lochiophobia,
which is the fear of childbirth. And then you
have gamophobia, which is the fear of marriage. Some
folk want a date for five and eight and ten years. Let
me tell you something, when a man, when a man loves a
woman. I'm gonna stop. When a man loves a woman... I
don't know the words. I'm teasing. But it doesn't take
him five years to figure out if she's the one. And vice
versa. It's almost like, you know, when you see that
person, you meet them, God gets to speaking. You know,
because as a man, we are called to pursue and to go
find that bride, that woman. But if you're dating for
5 and 8 and 10 years, something is wrong. Doesn't
take a man that long, 'cause matter of fact, if he really
loves you, he's going to want to take you off the
market. And claim you. Have you ever gone to a
dealership before, wanted to get a vehicle, and you maybe
you came too late, and they were getting ready to close
up, but you saw the car that you wanted. They say, "Well
yeah, you can get it, but you have to put a down
payment on it. You have to take it off the market, take
it off the lot, or you can set it aside and no one else
can look at it until you purchase it." When a man
loves a woman affectionately, and she is
the only woman that he desires for the rest of his
days, he claims that woman. Now men who play and toy
with you, they'll date you forever and never consider
marrying you. And so therefore y'all live
together same home. Oh, I'm preaching in the culture.
365 days a year in the same home, 366 in a leap year.
Without getting married. Something's wrong with that.
And ladies should not allow it and neither should men.
In verse 19 of our text, the disciples were contending
with their own unnecessary phobia. They feared that the
Jews would kill them in the same fashion that they
killed Jesus. Nevertheless, their fear was flawed. They
had a flawed sense of fear. In Luke 12, verse five,
Jesus says, "But I will forewarn you whom you shall
fear. Fear him which after he hath killed hath power to
cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, fear him." Charlie
Kirk had the opportunity to write the foreword for my
last book. And initially when I asked him to do it, I
didn't think he would do it because of his busy
schedule, but he did it. And in the foreword, he talks
about the fact that he had to witness so many pastors
cave during the pandemic. And why would you want to
follow a Christian who's afraid of death? Do you not
know what we get where we go in whose presence we are?
When we leave this place, to be absent from the body is
to be present with the Lord. We get streets paved in
gold, 12 gates that lead to the city. We're going to
drink from the crystal fountain. And guess what?
There's a bowl in heaven that the world can't
pervert. See, the rainbow has been perverted by the
culture and God's rainbow, it naturally occurs in
nature. It has seven colors based upon the Roy G. Biv
system. Red, orange, yellow, y'all know it? Indigo
valley. But the woke mob took out the color indigo,
which represents God. So they want our symbols, but
they don't want the Son of God. But when we get to
heaven, there's another bow that will be above the
throne of God. And this bow is an emerald bow. And this
bow will only be seen by those who have confessed and
professed the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
(audience applauding) We should not fear death
because death moves us closer to our redemption.
Psalm 25:14 says, "The secret of the Lord is
with them that fear him, "and he will show him his
covenant." Psalm 27 says, "The Lord is my light and my
salvation. "Whom shall I fear? "The Lord is the
strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid when the
wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat
up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Saints of God, I
know what it's like to feel walls closing in on you,
sensing and wondering if today will be your last day.
I've led a national campaign in 23 states, traveling from
state to state in school boards meeting to school
board meeting, fighting against gender theory and
queer theory and critical race theory and the false
triune idol of diversity, equity and inclusion. Now I
call it a false triune idol because it mimics the
Trinity. In the Trinity you have Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. And DEI is diversity, equity and
inclusion. And if you do not bow to the sacred cow of
DEI, they will cancel you and try to de-platform you.
I have fought against these things. I've even been
handcuffed as Pastor Hank mentioned, solely for
standing up for children and making sure that they do not
become perverted by the culture. I know what it's
like to feel fear, to wonder how people will respond
because now a preacher is now being handcuffed. But
the Holy Spirit tells me to keep going, keep fighting,
keep contending, keep preaching, keep standing,
keep serving, keep leading. I know what it's like to go
to Maryland, speak at a school board meeting there.
And when I show up to speak and put my name on the
paper, everyone starts to tremble. You see, in
biblical times when the prophets showed up, less
people came out. In modern times when the prophet shows
up, more people come out. And the reason is, is
because when the prophet showed up, you wanted to
know if it was well, because the prophet would send forth
the judgment of God. Man, I came to the school board
meeting in Baltimore and keep in mind, Baltimore has
a black governor, a black mayor in Baltimore,
Maryland. The school board is predominantly black, law
enforcement predominantly black, the CEO of schools
makes $479,000 a year, but the kids can't read or
write, which is intentional. They are intentionally
keeping these students suppressed and dumbed down
in many of the urban cities in our country. How do you
keep people as useful tools to your agenda? You make
sure that they are low information thinkers so that
they might become low information voters. It's
intentional. It's intentional. And when I
prepared to speak, the chairman of the board says,
"Hey, we need to call a recess." Then they come back
from the recess and they say, "Hey, we have a
citywide emergency. We have a threat in the room."
Somebody gonna catch that next week. They say, "We
have a citywide emergency. There's a threat in the
room, and we need to evacuate." And who was the
citywide emergency? Who was the threat in the room? Let
me tell you something, every time you go out to the
battlefield, you are a threat. Shabbat. To the plan
of Satan. Every time you contend for the faith, you
are a threat to the plan of the devil. Every time you
lift your voice as a trumpet in Zion, you are a threat to
the plans of the devil. When you open your mouth in this
culture and declare that Jesus is Lord, you are a
threat. Can I get at least 50 people in here this
morning to open up your mouth, give God some glory,
give God some praise, and let the world see that you
are a threat. To Satan's camp, come on in this place,
open up your mouth. You've got a weapon in your mouth.
Come on and praise his holy name. Every time we open up
our mouth and make a divine declaration, a divine
declaration, we serve notice to Satan. They were not
afraid of John in that moment in Baltimore. They
were not afraid of me reading from a pornographic
book. They were not afraid of a black Christian
conservative, even though they are primarily
Democrats. They were afraid that I came into that room
armed and dangerous. Shabbat locked and loaded. Can I get
a witness in here? Can I get somebody to wave your Bible?
Every time I feel the Holy Ghost in this place. Lord,
have mercy. I'm locked and I'm loaded. And I'm ready
for war. Come on. Get the pictures of people holding
up their Bibles. Hold up your weapon. The weapons of
our warfare are not counter, but are mighty. Look at
somebody and shout mighty through God to the pulling
down of strongholds. Y'all want to pull some stuff down
this morning? Anybody want to pull some stuff down this
morning? We pull down fear. Pull it down. Hey, shabbat.
We pull down discouragement. Pull that thing down. We
pull down doubt. Thank you, Jesus. We pull down the
spirit of perversion. We pull down the spirit of
cowardice. We pull down the spirit of rebellion. In the
name of Jesus. We got one more. We pull down the
spirit of apathy. No weapon, formed against you shall
prosper. Ever return, Lord have mercy, ever return,
risen in judgment shall be condemned. You are
dangerous. You better not see yourself as being
defeated because God has made you dangerous. You are
a threat to the enemy's camp. Greater is he that
sinned you than he that sinned the world. Come on
and clap your hands for Jesus in this place. I'm
finished. I'm finished. God gave them peace. He gave
them proof and he gave them power. The Holy Spirit be
upon you. May you go forth this week and be dangerous
knowing that you're locked and loaded by the power of
the Holy Ghost. God God bless you this morning.
- Come on give God a big shout. Come on shout unto God with
the voice of triumph. Come on lift up your voice. Those
of you that are watching around the world lift up
your voice. Come on clap your hands. All you people
and shout, shout, shout, shout, shout, shout. There's
victory. There's victory in the house of the Lord.
There's victory in your house. Come on. Come
on. [speaking in tongues] Oh, Father, we worship and
bless you. We thank you, Father, this is sealed in
the name of Yeshua. And Father, as we go into this
week, even on Wednesday to recapture a generation, we
prophesy over us that no spell, incantation, nothing
of witchcraft, divination, where our names are being
mentioned, it shall not prosper, and we call upon
the fire, the judgment of God against every curse and
every assignment. We break it. We are sealed in our
covenant of blood, the blood of Yeshua. [speaking in tongues]
And I declare over us a permanent covenant
boundary line of the blood of the Lamb of God, Yeshua,
around us, upon us, upon our loved ones, and all that has
been entrusted in our hands. And nothing of evil is
allowed to penetrate it. It's off limits. This is our
heritage. We are healthy, we are whole, and we are
redeemed because of the Lamb's blood. From all
destruction, sickness, disease, tragedy, calamity,
or trauma, we are preserved in our covenant. Thank you,
God. Thank you, Lord. If you agree with that, say amen.
Wasn't that powerful? Pastor Doug, come, wow. All
right, well listen, I'll see you tomorrow on Flashpoint
Tuesday, and then also Wednesday. We're gonna tear
it up. And I hope I can talk to some of you on the phone.
It'd be a lot of fun. But help me believe we're gonna
get it done for God and for the children. Amen, Pastor
Doug. Please, hey, let me just say this. Don't go walk
around unless you have to. It's very disrespectful to
God and to someone whose life might need to be
touched and saved. Unless you absolutely have to
leave, you give Pastor Doug and God just a few more
minutes. He's not going to take long. Amen? Amen. I
want to be a better church at that. Last week I was
grieved. I walked in the back. I said, "Holy Spirit,
that is unacceptable." Can you imagine if this was your
moment to get saved? And God has been running after you
your whole life, and finally you surrender and people
start walking out? Well, answer to God. Let's get
better about that. Now, if you have to leave or
whatever, then do it. But I think we need to honor God
and respect the person who stands behind the pulpit.
Amen? God bless you. Thank you, church, you're great.
- Amen, praise God. Well, hey, I'm
fired up, how about you? (congregation applauding)
Let me just mention, because I'm
thinking of it right now, you can be seated for just a
moment, that if you're interested in doing what
Brother John does and confronting school boards or
learning how to do it, or you would just wanna pray
for those that are going out, we have groups that
we're setting up, it's called the Hammer and Sword
Ministry, and I talked about it a couple Wednesday nights
ago, but if you're involved or want to be involved in
that, go to the information center, just give them your
name, say I want to be involved in Hammer and
Sword, and someone will get in touch with you about
that, and we won't send you out to the school boards
without training, you'll go as a group, but you're gonna
learn to speak up on behalf of the children, so just
another opportunity if you'd like to get involved with
that. I wanted to mention that this morning. Ushers,
if you would be in the aisles now, if what I'd like
to do at this point, we want to bless Brother John. What
a message, what a mission he has. And online also, we'll
put the giving information up. And we're going to
receive an offering for him today. Whatever you can do
to help defray the expenses of having him here. How many
of you would say it was worth bringing him in today
to get a recharge? We need a recharge in this area, in
some of those basics. So let's bless him today. And
you can make your payment, your giving, your offering
to Lord of Hosts, and then we'll make sure that we
bless him and take care of travel expense and
everything to get him in here. And how many of you
would like to see him come back again? So let's bless
him real good today. Thank you for doing that. And
while ushers are finishing up receiving, if you're
online, just go ahead and give however you normally
give. And there will be a drop down in there for guest
speaker. And if you put it in there, guest speaker,
drop down, we'll make sure that that offering is taken
care of and Brother John is blessed. Amen. Well, he
preached the gospel today. I don't really need to go into
too much of that. I mean, when he talked about none
but the righteous shall see God and he talked about
blessed are those that are pure in heart for they shall
see God, that really described salvation and the
fact that every person, I wanted to bring that up
today, every person that's born on this earth, and
every person that's alive today, has to make a
decision one way or another. And if you don't make a
decision for Jesus Christ, you've already made a
decision to follow the devil and his plan. And it might
be under the form of Buddha, it might be under the form
of Allah, maybe it would just be an atheist saying,
"I don't believe in anything." But if you don't
follow Jesus, you've already made a decision. But the
good news is that God gives us the ability to make that
decision, doesn't He? And we can do that. And I want to
give you, everyone here watching and those that are
online today, an opportunity. I wouldn't want
you to leave this place without knowing 100% that
when you depart this earth, you're going to heaven.
Brother Arlie over here told me a sad story. His
43-year-old niece was taken out in a car accident, I
believe. Is that right? It just happened a couple days
ago. 43 years old, she was in a terrible car accident.
Fortunately, she went home to be with the Lord. She was
at a funeral that was held here about probably three
years ago. And she accepted the Lord during that time.
So praise God, she was on her way to heaven. Now she's
rejoicing in heaven. So we have to make that decision
while we're alive. You can't take it for granted. Every
day you have to be thankful that you're alive and can
fulfill what God's called you to do. But then be
ready. Be ready. We need to be ready so that whenever
you leave, every day we're closer to going home with
Him. Whenever that day happens, you can be in
eternity with Him. So bow your heads with me. I think
the ushers have pretty much received the offering now.
If there's anyone here today and you say, Pastor Doug, I
haven't made that decision, I'm not 100% sure that if I
was to leave this earth, if I was to be in a terrible
car accident and just leave this earth this week, I'm
not 100% sure I'd be in heaven. I need to know that.
If you need to know that today, you can know that
today. You can be assured today before you leave here
that you have a place in heaven and you'll be there
for eternity. We should shun hell and look forward to
heaven. That should be what we're doing. And if that's
you today and you say, "I need prayer," that's where
it starts. It's just a simple prayer. I'm going to
pray with you today. It's a simple thing. We're not
going to embarrass you, but I want you to have the
opportunity to pray. And wherever you're at, even at
home, you can pray with us. But here's what I want you
to do. I'm going to count to three. And if you're saying,
"Pastor Doug, I need that prayer you're talking about.
I need to know that I'm going to heaven. I need to
make sure that hell is not in my future. I want to
serve God because He has a wonderful plan for each of
us. He has a destiny, a plan. He'll bless you with
healing, with prosperity, with relationships. He'll
bless you in your life, but you have to learn to make a
decision to follow Him. And that's what we're doing
today. You're making a decision to follow Christ.
And if that's you and you want prayer this morning,
I'm going to ask you when I count to three to raise your
hand. We're going to have you raise your hand quickly,
and I'm going to pray for you. One, two, three. If
that's you, you need prayer. I see a hand down here. I
see another one over here. Is there another? And
someone in the stadium seats. I see another one up
here. You need Jesus this morning. You say, I want
Jesus. I'm going to ask you to even be bolder. I'm going
to ask you to stand up where you're at right now. Stand
up, please. If you raise your hand, stand up. And I'm
going to ask you to get out of your seat, come to the
nearest aisle, and just come right down here to me today.
Give them a hand as they come. Give them a hand.
Thank you. Thank you from the stadium seats. We'll
wait for you. If you're with friends, they'll wait. Come
down here this morning. Just face me. That's great. Thank
you, sir, for doing that. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you,
little one. Thank you for coming today. Thank you for
coming, guys. I want to just make sure...
is there anyone else you need to come? Anyone else?
We're waiting. Do you need to come? OK. OK. God is
proud of you today. The Bible says, when you come to
the Lord, heaven rejoices. Some of you may have
relatives that have went on to heaven already,
aunts, uncles, grandparents, whatever.
They're rejoicing today because they're seeing you
today. They're watching. When you go to heaven, you
witness what goes on in earth. And they're watching,
and they're seeing you today. And I'm so proud of
you. Every age group from - we've got from,
what, 5 years old to, I don't know,
probably 20 or 30, most of you at the oldest. 60? Up to
60. Oh, but what a wonderful thing to make a decision for
Him. And it just starts with a prayer. Starts with a
prayer, a prayer of repentance. The Bible says
we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
And that means we've all made mistakes. Every person
in this room and everyone in the world has fallen short.
None of us could get to heaven on our own. But what
we do is we bow down to Jesus. In other words, we
make Him the Lord. And we say, Jesus, you can take
away my sin. You can forgive me for sin. And you can
believe that. And then you receive it. And you receive
Him as Lord. That's what it amounts to. He went to the
cross of Calvary and died for us. And now you have the
opportunity to receive Him as your Lord. This will
change your life. Is this October 25th? 26th. I'm
always off one day. You know, the calendar goes so
fast. So October 26, 2025 is a day that will live in
infamy in your life. In other words, it's a day that
you'll never forget because it's a day that you received
Jesus. So never forget October 26. That's why I
have you come forward because it's a special
marker in your life. And I want you to follow Him now
as we pray this. But we're going to pray together. You
repeat after me. As I pray, you just repeat after me.
Father in heaven, thank you for sending Jesus. I believe
he went to the cross of Calvary, and I believe he
died for me. And the Bible says he was buried, and he
rose again from the dead on the third day. I believe
that. Jesus, I want to serve you. I ask you, be the Lord
of my life. Forgive me for sin in my life. Make me a
new creation, and I will serve you all the days of my
life. In Jesus' name I pray. Altar team, would you run up
here now? I want you to stand behind them and take
care of them. Our altar team is out here, and I had
forgot to ask them to come forward. They're going to
give you some information today. They're going to have
you fill out a little sheet of paper so that we can send
you a congratulations letter. We want to help you
in your walk today. And thank you again for doing
this. I just want to shake your hands as
congratulations. Thank you, son, for doing that. Thank
you, sir. Thank you, ma'am. I appreciate you making that
decision. Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate that. Thank you
for coming today. God bless you. God bless you, sir. God
bless you. Good to see you. Oh, thank you so much. Well,
I'm just excited about that. Isn't it worth waiting for
that? Yes. Praise God. Well, I have a couple
announcements, and then I'm going to let you go while
these folks are filling out the information and getting
everything taken care of. Also, I guess I forgot to
mention, if online you made that decision - did we put
up the prayer line already? I didn't
notice. Yeah, okay, it was up there. You can call that
prayer line, even if you're watching this archive and
this message touched your heart. You can call the
prayer line 24 hours a day and our prayer counselors
will send the same information that these are
receiving today. They'll pray with you and you'll
know that you're on your way to heaven also. So I just
wanted to mention that. Couple other things, don't
forget, Pastor Hank will be on Flashpoint this week, 7
o'clock Central Time. Don't miss that, Monday and
Tuesday. And then there's two events coming up on
November 13th that I wanted to mention to you. If you're
not a member of this church, and you say, I wanna get
involved in this church, I wanna serve in this church,
I feel like Lord of Hosts should be my church, then
you can sign up for membership seminar, which is
November 13th, and it's a Thursday evening, and then
we'll receive you in the following Sunday as a member
of Lord of Hosts. In order to serve here, in order to
work in the nursery, or greet, or usher, or do
anything like that, you have to be a member. So you can
go to the Information Center, sign up. We'll make
sure you're part of that class on Thursday, November
13th. Also, we have a special movie night that
same night. For those of you that are not in membership
class, the premiere of All is Merry and Bright, a
wonderful Christian family movie is happening, and Lord
of Hosts bought out a theater for that. We have
100 seats that are available at the ACX in Elkhorn, and
you can sign up for that. Information's on the screen.
You can download that QR code, scan it for tickets.
They're $12 a piece, better than what you'd pay if you
walk in and paid your own price, and just sign up and
show up, and that'll be a great time of fellowship and
just supporting. How many of you think we should support
good Christian movies? In fact, this one, this movie
actually has a physical healing in it that they
credit to God, which that doesn't usually happen in
movies anymore. Even in Christian movies, sometimes
they don't get that bold. So this one is worth
supporting. And I think that's pretty much it. Don't
forget, you heard a lot about Rescuing a Generation.
That's this coming Wednesday night, online only. So get
involved with that. A lot of things on the calendar. But
God bless you. Thank you again for waiting patiently.
Have a wonderful weekend. And we'll see you in the
house next Sunday. It'll be a wonderful time to be back
together. God bless you. Thank you, online audience,
for tuning in. Have a wonderful weekend.
