THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF PSALMS, 38:56.895 --> 39:01.465 DILIGENTLY WAITING FOR WORDS, THE WORD OF THE LORD, GOD'S 39:01.465 --> 39:05.811 WORD, YOUR HOLY COMMANDS, YOUR HOLY SCRIPTURE TO COME FROM OUR 39:05.811 --> 39:10.317 LIPS SO THAT, LORD, THEY CAN HONOR YOU AS THE SERVANTS OF THE 39:10.317 --> 39:14.217 MOST HIGH GOD. AND SO, LORD, TODAY WE COMMISSION, WE 39:14.217 --> 39:19.113 ASSIGN THE ANGELS TO GO FORTH, TO EXCEL IN STRENGTH, TO BRING 39:19.113 --> 39:22.596 DIVINE PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION AROUND OUR VEHICLES, 39:22.596 --> 39:26.737 OUR HOMES, OUR PROPERTIES, OUR POSSESSIONS, LORD, OUR FAMILIES, 39:26.737 --> 39:31.311 OUR PETS, OUR BELONGINGS, LORD, OUR COMING IN AND OUR GOING OUT. 39:31.311 --> 39:35.019 LORD, WE DECLARE THAT THERE IS AN ANGELIC PROTECTION AND IT 39:35.019 --> 39:38.711 BRINGS PRESERVATION. IT'S AN ANGEL LOCK AROUND US THAT THE 39:38.711 --> 39:43.142 ENEMY OF DARKNESS OR WICKED AND UNREASONABLE MEN CANNOT AND WILL 39:43.142 --> 39:46.964 NOT BE ALLOWED TO TOUCH US, OUR FAMILIES, OUR HOMES, OUR 39:46.964 --> 39:50.512 PROPERTY, OUR POSSESSIONS, OUR LIVES, OUR VEHICLES. LORD, WE 39:50.512 --> 39:54.928 ARE BLESSED AND WE RELEASE THE HOST NOW. FATHER, SEND THE HOST 39:54.928 --> 39:58.380 NOW TO GATHER FOR THE PEOPLE. LORD, THERE'S HARVESTING ANGELS 39:58.380 --> 40:01.816 AND THEY'VE BEEN SENT TOGETHER TO BRING IN, LORD, THE THINGS 40:01.816 --> 40:05.590 THAT, LORD, WE HAVE CRIED OUT FOR. AND WE CRY CRIED OUT TO 40:05.590 --> 40:09.286 YOU, THE ALMIGHTY GOD. AND MAY THOSE ANGELS NOW EXCEL IN 40:09.286 --> 40:13.383 STRENGTH AND BREAK THROUGH ANY DEMONIC RESISTANCE OR DEMON 40:13.383 --> 40:18.141 SPIRITS OR BARRIERS. GO, HOSTS, AND BRING IN THE BREAKTHROUGHS. 40:18.141 --> 40:24.967 BRING IN THE MANIFESTATION OF ANSWERED PRAYER. AND HOSTS, GO 40:24.967 --> 40:29.618 AND MINISTER TO THOSE THAT NEED HEALING NOW, AS THE SPIRIT OF 40:29.618 --> 40:36.278 GOD IN HIS ANOINTING IS RELEASED AS THE HOSTS GO. LORD, WE THANK 40:36.278 --> 40:40.780 YOU. FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD, WE'RE NEVER GOING TO EVER AGAIN 40:42.591 --> 40:49.350 BE UNAWARE. WE'RE AWARE, FOR THERE'S MORE FOR US. IN FACT, 40:49.350 --> 40:55.755 LORD, THERE'S MORE IN THIS ROOM. THEY'RE HERE, AND WE THANK YOU 40:55.755 --> 41:00.345 THAT YOU ARE CALLED LORD OF HOSTS, LORD OF THE ANGELIC 41:00.345 --> 41:04.784 ARMIES OF HEAVEN THAT YOU CREATED, AND WE HONOR YOU TODAY, 41:06.670 --> 41:15.507 GOD. WE WELCOME THEM. WOW, THANK YOU, GOD. THANK YOU, GOD. 41:15.507 --> 41:17.943 THANK YOU, LORD. 41:17.943 --> 41:19.215 AMEN. 41:19.215 --> 41:20.664 AMEN. 41:20.664 --> 41:22.113 WE WORSHIP YOU. 41:22.113 --> 41:22.885 THANK YOU, LORD. 41:23.400 --> 41:28.608 THANK YOU, LORD. MAN, I'LL TELL YOU, I WAS JUST THINKING, I WANT 41:28.608 --> 41:30.855 TO GIVE YOU THANKS, GOD. I REMEMBER ANOTHER TIME I WENT TO 41:30.855 --> 41:34.331 ARGENTINA FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I WAS WITH PASTOR TOM, WHO'S 41:34.331 --> 41:36.656 IN HEAVEN. HOW MANY REMEMBER PASTOR TOM THAT USED TO SERVE 41:36.656 --> 41:44.980 HERE? AND WE GOT OFF OF THE AIRPLANE, WE WENT OUT, AND THEY 41:44.980 --> 41:51.116 SAID, HEY, I'LL NEVER FORGET IT, WE'RE LIKE LOOKING FOR OUR BAGS, 41:51.116 --> 41:53.444 AND THEY SAID, OH, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER TO THE OTHER 41:53.444 --> 41:56.546 TERMINAL. THE OTHER TERMINAL? YET THEY SAID THIS IS THE 41:56.546 --> 42:00.740 INTERNATIONAL ONE. YOU NEED TO GO TO THE DOMESTIC ONE. WE SAID, 42:00.740 --> 42:02.668 WELL, HOW DO WE GET THERE? AND THEY COULDN'T SPEAK GOOD 42:02.668 --> 42:06.335 ENGLISH. AND I SAID, TOM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO 42:06.335 --> 42:11.035 DO. HE GOES, WELL, HMM. HE GOES, LET'S JUST PRAY. SO WE STARTED 42:11.035 --> 42:13.304 PRAYING, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A MAN TAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER, 42:13.304 --> 42:17.860 AND HE SAID, YOU'VE BEEN SENT HERE FROM THE LORD MOST HIGH. 42:19.120 --> 42:22.867 AND I'M LOOKING AT HIM. HE'S REALLY TALL, LOOKING DUDE. AND 42:22.867 --> 42:26.234 HE SAID, YOU'VE BEEN SENT FROM THE LORD MOST HIGH. SPOKE 42:26.234 --> 42:33.227 PERFECT ENGLISH, YET HE LOOKED ARGENTINIAN, OR WHATEVER. AND HE 42:33.227 --> 42:35.199 SAID, YOU'VE BEEN SENT HERE FROM THE LORD MOST HIGH. I SAID, 42:35.199 --> 42:40.732 YEAH, I HAVE. HE SAID, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE AIRPORT AND 42:40.732 --> 42:45.960 WHERE YOU NEED TO GO? HE SAID, COME. HE SAID, FOLLOW CLOSE. HE 42:45.960 --> 42:51.195 GOES, I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU WAY THAT IS A DIFFERENT WAY. AND I'M 42:51.195 --> 42:54.851 LOOKING AND I'M SEEING SIGNS— NO ADMITTANCE. I'M THINKING, I 42:54.851 --> 42:57.602 DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RIGHT. NOW, WOULD AN ANGEL BREAK THE 42:57.602 --> 43:02.034 LAW? I DON'T KNOW. DON'T ASK ME. I DON'T THINK SO, BUT I DON'T 43:02.034 --> 43:05.343 KNOW. THAT'S A THEOLOGICAL QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW. THEY'RE 43:05.343 --> 43:08.149 SUBJECT TO A HIGHER LAW. GOD NEEDED ME TO GET TO WHERE I WAS 43:08.149 --> 43:12.359 AT. AND WE MANEUVERED IT AROUND AND WE GOT THERE, AND IT WAS A 43:12.359 --> 43:16.374 LONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE GOES, YOUR BAGS ARE OVER THERE. 43:16.374 --> 43:18.395 AND I'M LIKE, HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD HE KNOW WHERE MY BAGS ARE? 43:18.395 --> 43:20.880 SO I GRABBED THE BAGS AND SAID, WELL, HEY, THANK YOU, SIR. CAN I 43:20.880 --> 43:23.510 GIVE YOU SOMETHING? AND THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND. IT WAS LIKE 43:23.510 --> 43:26.974 RIGHT HERE. AND IMMEDIATELY HE DISAPPEARED. THERE WAS NOWHERE 43:26.974 --> 43:29.460 FOR HIM TO GO. SO YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S START PAYING MORE 43:29.460 --> 43:34.993 ATTENTION. BECAUSE I THINK WHAT IT DOES IS IT BRINGS NOT ONLY 43:34.993 --> 43:39.953 THE HONOR TO GOD, BUT I THINK IT CAUSES MORE THINGS TO HAPPEN FOR 43:39.953 --> 43:41.885 GOOD IN OUR LIVES. 43:41.885 --> 43:42.190 AMEN. 43:43.269 --> 43:45.587 AMEN. AND THE OTHER THING YOU NEED TO BE GRATEFUL FOR IS THE 43:45.587 --> 43:48.819 ANGEL THAT GOD GIVES YOU. I GOT A GREAT WIFE. SHE'S MY LITTLE 43:48.819 --> 43:55.441 ANGEL. SO WHY DON'T YOU GREET SOMEBODY AROUND YOU? AND DON'T 43:55.441 --> 43:59.254 ACT LIKE THE DEVIL. ACT LIKE A CHRISTIAN. GREET THEM AND SAY, 43:59.254 --> 44:02.969 "I'M SO GLAD." AND THEN SAY THIS, "I BET I KNOW. I BET I 44:02.969 --> 44:06.379 KNOW YOU'VE SEEN AN ANGEL." BEFORE. ALL RIGHT, GREET THEM. 44:06.379 --> 44:08.948 WE GREET YOU, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AS WELL, IN THE 44:08.948 --> 44:09.946 NAME OF JESUS. 44:09.946 --> 44:58.478 (MUSIC) 44:58.478 --> 45:02.910 WELL, GOOD MORNING.

WASN'T THAT POWERFUL ABOUT 46:50.936 --> 46:54.101 ANGELS? OH MY GOODNESS. HOW MANY OF YOU, I KNOW YOU'VE HAD 46:54.101 --> 46:58.247 EXPERIENCES WITH ANGELS AND ANGELIC ACTIVITY IN YOUR LIFE. 46:58.247 --> 47:01.380 AND YOU KNOW, WHETHER YOU SEE IT OR NOT, IT'S OUT THERE. AND IT'S 47:01.380 --> 47:03.871 OPERATING FOR US. AND I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL. WE HAVE TO 47:03.871 --> 47:08.716 REMEMBER THAT. SO, BY THE WAY, SUCH A GREAT OPENING THE 47:08.716 --> 47:15.405 HEAVENS THIS PAST WEEK. AND OH MY GOODNESS, I WAS PERSONALLY SO 47:15.405 --> 47:18.620 MINISTERED TO BY SO MANY THINGS THAT THE DIFFERENT SPEAKERS 47:18.620 --> 47:22.922 SHARED. AND WHAT AN UPLIFTING TIME. AND YOU JUST NEVER WANT TO 47:22.922 --> 47:26.954 MISS A MOMENT. IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE. BUT I DO HAVE THE 47:26.954 --> 47:31.153 DATES FOR NEXT YEAR IF YOU'RE READY TO KNOW THAT. OKAY, ARE 47:31.153 --> 47:35.565 YOU READY? SEPTEMBER 16TH THROUGH THE 18TH ARE THE DATES 47:35.565 --> 47:39.994 OF OPENING THE HEAVENS 2027.

HOW MANY OF YOU ENJOYED IT BEING HERE IN THE 47:46.021 --> 47:50.510 CHURCH THIS YEAR? JUST LIFE-CHANGING. IT WAS SO 47:50.510 --> 47:53.620 POWERFUL. AND BY THE WAY, I'LL JUST LET EVERYBODY KNOW, I DON'T 47:53.620 --> 47:57.724 HAVE THE EXACT PINPOINT MARGIN YET, BUT WE DID MAKE THE BUDGET 47:57.724 --> 47:58.493 WITH A SMALL— 47:59.792 --> 48:01.234 ALL RIGHT. 48:02.277 --> 48:06.131 AND WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A SURPLUS.

SO I DO WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT, AND ALL OF YOU 48:11.929 --> 48:14.803 THAT SACRIFICIALLY HELPED WITH THAT, BECAUSE THESE EVENTS 48:14.803 --> 48:18.818 AREN'T CHEAP TO PUT OFF. SO, BUT I JUST KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE WERE 48:18.818 --> 48:23.106 CHANGED, AND THEIR LIVES WERE CHANGED, AND PEOPLE WERE SAVED 48:23.106 --> 48:25.884 AND BORN AGAIN AND SPIRIT-FILLED DURING THIS WHOLE THING. SO IT 48:25.884 --> 48:28.952 WAS JUST A WONDERFUL TIME. SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY 48:28.952 --> 48:31.757 EVERYBODY THAT WORKED SO HARD. EVERYBODY GOT RESTED UP, I 48:31.757 --> 48:35.171 THINK, HOPEFULLY. MAYBE YOU CAUGHT UP ON ALL YOUR SLEEP, SO 48:35.171 --> 48:38.329 IT'S GOOD. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S SO WORTH IT WHEN THE ANOINTING IS 48:38.329 --> 48:42.978 MOVING IN A PLACE. SO IT'S JUST AWESOME. ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'LL 48:42.978 --> 48:45.195 SAVE ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS. IF YOU WANT TO GET TO THE 48:45.195 --> 48:47.690 ANNOUNCEMENTS, WE GOT NEW YEAR'S EVE COMING, LOTS OF THINGS 48:47.690 --> 48:49.871 HAPPENING, BUT YOU CAN GET OUT THERE, CHECK IT OUT ON THE 48:49.871 --> 48:53.157 CHURCH'S WEBSITE. AND OF COURSE, WE'RE ALWAYS POSTING TO SOCIAL 48:53.157 --> 48:56.364 AS WELL. ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT OUR OFFERING SCRIPT SCRIPTURE UP 48:56.364 --> 49:00.779 FOR TODAY. LET'S ROCK AND ROLL IT. NOW, THIS IS A VERY FAMILIAR 49:00.779 --> 49:04.215 SCRIPTURE TO SOME OF YOU. YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO AT 49:04.215 --> 49:08.004 OFFERING TIME SHARE A LITTLE GOLDEN NUGGET ABOUT GIVING. 49:08.004 --> 49:11.842 JESUS HAD SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT FINANCES. THE BIBLE TALKS A LOT 49:11.842 --> 49:14.347 ABOUT MONEY, HOW TO MANAGE IT, RIGHT? IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO 49:14.347 --> 49:17.622 BUDGET OR MANAGE YOUR MONEY, THE BIBLE WILL GIVE YOU CLUES ABOUT 49:17.622 --> 49:21.171 THOSE THINGS. IT JUST TALKS ABOUT HOW TO COUNT THE COST, 49:21.171 --> 49:23.916 THINK ABOUT YOUR SPENDING, AND IT TALKS A LOT ABOUT GIVING INTO 49:23.916 --> 49:27.513 THE KINGDOM OF GOD. BUT HERE'S WHAT JESUS TAUGHT, AND WE KNOW 49:27.513 --> 49:30.789 THIS. I LIKE TO— I DON'T KNOW, I'VE BEEN ON THIS LITTLE ROLL 49:30.789 --> 49:34.724 LATELY OF PULLING OUT LITTLE PIECES OF THESE SCRIPTURES THAT 49:34.724 --> 49:39.220 ARE FAMILIAR TO SO MANY OF US. GIVE. THAT'S THE FIRST PART. IF 49:39.220 --> 49:43.813 YOU WANT TO GET IN GOD'S SYSTEM OF BLESSING, YOU'VE GOT TO BE A 49:43.813 --> 49:47.041 GIVER, RIGHT? YOU JUST GOT TO DECIDE WITHIN YOURSELF, YOU 49:47.041 --> 49:50.237 KNOW, I'M GOING TO GIVE INTO THE PURPOSES OF THE GOSPEL. I'M 49:50.237 --> 49:53.044 GOING TO GIVE TO THE CHURCH. I'M GOING TO GIVE TO THE THINGS OF 49:53.044 --> 49:55.930 THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT ARE PERTINENT. AND BY THE WAY, 49:55.930 --> 50:00.018 THAT'S ALSO SEPARATE FROM JUST CHARITABLE GIVING. THEY CAN BE 50:00.018 --> 50:04.427 INTERTWINED, BUT THERE'S GIVING TO THE PURPOSES OF THE SPREADING 50:04.427 --> 50:08.739 OF THE GOSPEL. AND ISN'T THAT A GOOD THING? YOU KNOW, WE'RE THE 50:08.739 --> 50:13.548 CHURCH, OR THE BODY OF CHRIST, OR THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE 50:13.548 --> 50:17.573 CHURCH HOUSE, OR THE INSTITUTION CALLED THE CHURCH. LORD OF HOSTS 50:17.573 --> 50:21.767 CHURCH IS OUT THERE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A WORLD RIGHT NOW WHERE 50:21.767 --> 50:25.848 THERE IS SO MUCH NEGATIVITY. THERE'S SO MUCH— I MEAN, THE 50:25.848 --> 50:30.910 INTERNET IS JUST FILLED WITH ALL KINDS OF GARBAGE THAT, YOU KNOW, 50:30.910 --> 50:33.497 I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'D PROBABLY BE FAIR TO SAY THAT 50:33.497 --> 50:37.498 MORE THAN HALF OF IT'S NOT EVEN TRUE. IT'S JUST SKEWED OPINIONS 50:37.498 --> 50:42.078 THAT PEOPLE MAKE UP TO JUST DESTROY SOMEBODY ELSE. AND SO, 50:42.078 --> 50:45.814 THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH THESE THINGS. AND WE SEE IT EVERY DAY. 50:45.814 --> 50:50.470 WE LOOK ON THE NEWS, WE SEE EVERY WAR. I MEAN, IN REAL TIME, 50:50.470 --> 50:52.542 YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING OF THAT— I THINK OF IT OFTEN. I 50:52.542 --> 50:56.265 THINK OF THAT SCRIPTURE IN LUKE 21 AND VERSE 26. IT SAYS, IN THE 50:56.265 --> 51:02.648 LAST DAYS, MEN'S HEARTS WILL FAIL THEM FOR FEAR, BECAUSE WHY? 51:02.648 --> 51:08.199 THEY SEE ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING ON THE EARTH. NOW, YOU 51:08.199 --> 51:12.587 KNOW, IN JESUS' DAY, WHEN HE SAID HE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, 51:12.587 --> 51:16.516 NOW, YOU KNOW, THE LORD KNEW WHAT WAS COMING, BUT YOU THINK 51:16.516 --> 51:20.910 ABOUT THAT WAS ALMOST PREDICTIVE OF THE DAY THAT WE'RE LIVING IN, 51:20.910 --> 51:26.523 THE DAY OF SO MUCH THAT WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING IN REAL TIME. AND 51:26.523 --> 51:30.131 THERE'S A LOT OF NEGATIVE, MORE NEGATIVE, I THINK, THAN POSITIVE 51:30.131 --> 51:34.124 OUT THERE. YET THE CHURCH IS THAT LIGHT IN A DARK PLACE. 51:35.183 --> 51:41.050 WE'RE HERE TO SPREAD— WATCH THIS— THE GOOD NEWS. COME ON, 51:41.050 --> 51:46.901 SOMEBODY. THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. JESUS 51:46.901 --> 51:52.272 CAME INTO GALILEE, MATTHEW 4, AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THOSE 51:52.272 --> 51:56.375 THAT SAT IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT. WELL, WHO'S GOING TO BE 51:56.375 --> 52:00.431 THE GREAT LIGHT TODAY? THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND 52:00.431 --> 52:04.311 SO WE GIVE INTO THAT TO SHARE THE LIGHT IN A DARK PLACE. GO 52:04.311 --> 52:08.201 BACK TO LUKE. IT SAYS, "SO GIVE," BUT THEN HERE'S THE 52:08.201 --> 52:12.888 BENEFIT OF IT, "AND IT'LL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU." RIGHT? THIS 52:12.888 --> 52:17.481 IS A PROMISE OF SCRIPTURE THAT WE HAVE TO BELIEVE AND HOLD DEAR 52:17.481 --> 52:21.996 AND CLAIM IN OUR LIFE. "GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU." 52:21.996 --> 52:25.237 THAT SAYS TO ME, IF I'M A GIVER, THAT GOD'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF 52:25.237 --> 52:30.317 ME. AND HERE'S HOW GOD WILL DO IT. GOOD MEASURE. I DON'T KNOW 52:30.317 --> 52:36.912 WHAT THAT MEANS. IT JUST MEANS A LOT. PRESS DOWN. I REMEMBER WHEN 52:36.912 --> 52:40.298 PASTOR HANK— I'LL SHARE THIS REALLY QUICKLY— PASTOR HANK, 52:40.298 --> 52:43.343 WHEN, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, HE STARTED HIS 52:43.343 --> 52:46.249 MINISTRY IN THE PROJECTS, PICKING UP GANG KIDS AND TAKING 52:46.249 --> 52:50.270 THEM TO CHURCH RIGHT HERE IN OMAHA. AND SOME OF THOSE 52:50.270 --> 52:53.384 PROJECTS AREN'T THERE ANYMORE, THEY'VE TAKEN THEM DOWN. BUT SO 52:53.384 --> 52:56.164 HE ASKED ME, HE SAID, NOW HOW CAN I HOW CAN I TEACH THESE GANG 52:56.164 --> 53:00.430 KIDS? HE ASKED ME ONE DAY. WE WERE STILL DATING AT THAT TIME. 53:00.430 --> 53:03.969 AND YOU KNOW, THIS GIRL WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HOOD WAS. 53:05.092 --> 53:07.991 I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU HEARD LORENZO SEWELL LAST WEEK SAID, 53:07.991 --> 53:10.519 "MY CHURCH IS NOT ONLY IN THE HOOD, IT'S IN THE HOOD." 53:12.806 --> 53:15.828 YOU KNOW, I GREW UP IN A MILITARY FAMILY. WE TRAVELED 53:15.828 --> 53:18.485 AROUND THE WORLD. AND SO, HE SAID, "TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU 53:18.485 --> 53:21.895 THINK? HOW CAN I DESCRIBE TO THESE GANG KIDS?" WHAT "PRESS 53:21.895 --> 53:25.407 DOWN" MEANS. I SAID, "WELL, I JUST THINK OF IT LIKE BROWN 53:25.407 --> 53:31.276 SUGAR. YOU PUT BROWN SUGAR IN A MEASURING CUP AND YOU—" COME ON, 53:31.276 --> 53:35.302 YOU LADIES ARE NODDING. YOU PRESS IT DOWN. YOU PACK IT DOWN 53:35.302 --> 53:39.199 SO YOU COULD GET MORE SUGAR IN THE CUP, RIGHT? HE SAID, "THAT'S 53:39.199 --> 53:41.605 NOT GONNA WORK WITH THE GANG KIDS. THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET 53:41.605 --> 53:45.710 THAT." BUT THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT IS BROWN 53:45.710 --> 53:50.037 SUGAR PRESSED PRESS DOWN. SO IT MEANS GOD JUST PACKS IN AS MUCH 53:50.037 --> 53:53.546 AS YOU CAN RECEIVE. ISN'T THAT GOOD? BECAUSE GOD'S GOOD. HE 53:53.546 --> 54:00.357 LOVES TO BLESS. AND IT'S SHAKEN TOGETHER, RUNNING OVER. NOW 54:00.357 --> 54:05.645 WATCH THIS PART. SHALL MEN— COME ON, THAT'S PEOPLE— WILL GIVE 54:05.645 --> 54:08.866 BACK TO YOU. COME ON, HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD JUST A SURPRISE 54:08.866 --> 54:12.952 CHECK IN THE MAIL, OR YOU GOT A REFUND THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE 54:12.952 --> 54:16.079 COMING. COME ON, YOU EVER HAD ONE YOU'RE LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW, 54:16.079 --> 54:20.489 THAT WAS A SHOCK. YOU KNOW, BUT GOD MAY BE THE ONE THAT OPENED 54:20.489 --> 54:24.098 THE EYES OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE SO THAT THEY GO, WELL, THEY— WE 54:24.098 --> 54:28.492 OWE THEM MONEY. YOU DON'T KNOW. COME ON, THAT'S THE THING. GOD'S 54:28.492 --> 54:31.859 WORKING FOR YOU. HE LOVES YOU. GOD'S NOT UP THERE IN HEAVEN 54:31.859 --> 54:34.425 TRYING TO KEEP YOU SO THAT YOU'RE DOWN AND BROKE AND 54:34.425 --> 54:37.905 DEFEATED. THAT'S NOT WHAT GOD'S ABOUT. THERE'S NOTHING IN THE 54:37.905 --> 54:40.256 SCRIPTURE THAT SUPPORTS THE BIBLE SUPPORTS THAT, BY THE WAY. 54:40.256 --> 54:43.748 IT SAYS, "SHALL MEN GIVE BACK INTO YOUR BOSOM." THAT MEANS TO 54:43.748 --> 54:49.107 YOU. "FOR WITH THE SAME MEASURE THAT YOU GIVE," OR THAT WORD 54:49.107 --> 54:55.100 "MEET" IS THE KING JAMES WORD FOR IF THE SAME MEASURE OR THE 54:55.100 --> 54:59.165 SAME SCOOP THAT YOU MIGHT DISH IT OUT IS THE WAY IT COMES BACK 54:59.165 --> 55:03.826 TO YOU.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I STUMBLED ON IT, BUT I WATCHED 55:21.653 --> 55:25.091 AND I GAVE MY HEART TO JESUS CHRIST." OR, "I GOT HEALED," OR, 55:25.091 --> 55:28.867 "GOD DELIVERED ME FROM DEPRESSION. GOD CHANGED ME. GOD 55:28.867 --> 55:32.563 TOUCHED ME. HE PULLED ME OUT OF A DARK PLACE." AND YOU KNOW 55:32.563 --> 55:36.891 WHAT?

THANK YOU AGAIN ALSO, MAN, WE MADE THE BUDGET AND A 59:27.469 --> 59:31.657 LITTLE BIT OVER, SO I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I DID 59:31.657 --> 59:37.504 NOT WANT TO CARRY ANY KIND OF— INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO THANK 59:37.504 --> 59:41.840 YOU. THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT. AND ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY KNOW IT 59:41.840 --> 59:44.908 IS BRING YOUR BIBLE TO CHURCH SUNDAY AS WELL? HOW MANY OF YOU 59:44.908 --> 59:48.425 GOT YOUR BIBLES? LET ME SEE IT. YOU'RE DOING GOOD. DOESN'T IT 59:48.425 --> 59:52.296 FEEL GOOD TO CARRY YOUR BIBLE TO CHURCH? OKAY, NOW I SHOULD 59:52.296 --> 59:56.340 PROBABLY ASK THE USHER TEAM, HOW MANY— IS THERE MORE BIBLES IN ON 59:56.340 --> 59:59.920 THE LOST AND FOUND SINCE WE'VE BEEN BRINGING OUR BIBLES. THERE 59:59.920 --> 01:00:05.080 WAS ONE GUY THAT WE KEPT ON TELLING HIM, "HEY, YOU LEFT YOUR 01:00:05.080 --> 01:00:07.580 BIBLE HERE." "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, I'LL GET IT, I'LL GET IT." 01:00:07.580 --> 01:00:11.560 AND THEN WE FINALLY GAVE IT TO HIM AFTER LIKE 6 MONTHS. HE 01:00:11.560 --> 01:00:13.900 GOES, "OH, I'M SO GLAD." HE GOES, "THIS IS LIKE MY ONLY 01:00:13.900 --> 01:00:17.980 BIBLE." I'M LIKE, "YOU JUST TOLD ON YOURSELF LIKE YOU DIDN'T READ 01:00:17.980 --> 01:00:22.820 YOUR BIBLE FOR—" AND THIS IS BACK BEFORE THE APPS. SO I'M 01:00:22.820 --> 01:00:26.368 LIKE, THAT IS REALLY BAD WHEN YOU HAD NO ALTERNATIVES SOURCE 01:00:26.368 --> 01:00:32.464 LIKE A PHONE. SO I DO APPRECIATE THAT AS WELL, AND THAT YOU 01:00:32.464 --> 01:00:34.229 BROUGHT YOUR BIBLES. YOU'RE BRINGING YOUR BIBLES. LET'S KEEP 01:00:34.229 --> 01:00:36.315 DOING IT THIS MONTH, AND THEN LET'S JUST KEEP BUILDING A 01:00:36.315 --> 01:00:38.657 HABIT. YOU KNOW, THEY SAY IF YOU DO SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH. AND 01:00:38.657 --> 01:00:43.374 THEN ALSO, THOSE OF YOU TODAY ACROSS THE NATION, IT'S BACK TO 01:00:43.374 --> 01:00:46.182 CHURCH SUNDAY, AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL ACROSS AMERICA THERE'S 01:00:46.182 --> 01:00:49.872 GOING TO BE A NEW MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE WHO REALLY JUST COME TO 01:00:49.872 --> 01:00:53.656 THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, OR MAYBE YOU'RE JUST JOINING US AS A 01:00:53.656 --> 01:00:56.767 PERSON VISITING, AND YOU'RE GOING, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN'T 01:00:56.767 --> 01:01:01.352 FIND A GOOD CHURCH IN MY CITY." I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND THAT'S 01:01:01.352 --> 01:01:04.800 WHY I'M REALLY, REALLY GLAD THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO HAVE THROUGH 01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:08.247 TECHNOLOGY WHERE MANY PEOPLE IDENTIFY AND SAY, "YOU KNOW, 01:01:08.247 --> 01:01:10.972 PASTOR HANK, YOU'RE MY PASTOR. THIS IS MY CHURCH." AND IF YOU 01:01:10.972 --> 01:01:14.804 READ THE BOOK OF ISAIAH CHAPTER 2, IT SAYS IN THE LAST DAYS THAT 01:01:14.804 --> 01:01:21.607 MANY SHALL, IN FACT, ALL ETHNOS, ALL DIFFERENT CULTURES, OF SKIN 01:01:21.607 --> 01:01:24.975 ARE GOING TO GO TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. AND IT SAYS THAT 01:01:24.975 --> 01:01:29.391 THEY'LL STREAM UNTO IT EVEN. SO THERE YOU ARE. YOU'RE STREAMING 01:01:29.391 --> 01:01:32.306 WITH US, AND WE WELCOME YOU AS WELL. NOW THOSE OF YOU THAT 01:01:32.306 --> 01:01:34.817 MAYBE YOU'RE LIKE, "WHOA, THIS IS KIND OF STRANGE. THIS IS KIND 01:01:34.817 --> 01:01:38.424 OF DIFFERENT." YOU KNOW WHAT? HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT GELATO IS 01:01:38.424 --> 01:01:45.039 AS GREAT AS IT IS UNTIL YOU CAME AND YOU TRIED IT? GIVE IT A TRY 01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:47.386 AND THEN GO BACK FOR A SECOND HELPING AND A THIRD AND A 01:01:47.386 --> 01:01:50.072 FOURTH. AS YOU CAN TELL, I LIKE LIKE GELATO. BUT WE WELCOME YOU 01:01:50.072 --> 01:01:52.432 HERE TODAY. YOU KNOW, I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO PREACH A 01:01:52.432 --> 01:01:56.752 MESSAGE ABOUT THE CHURCH, AND I KIND OF GOT THROUGH IT, AND I 01:01:56.752 --> 01:02:00.445 THOUGHT, "WELL, I'LL JUST—" IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. BUT AS I WAS 01:02:00.445 --> 01:02:04.041 PREPARING THAT MESSAGE, I JUST FELT TO STAY ON WHAT I'VE BEEN 01:02:04.041 --> 01:02:09.195 TALKING ABOUT. I DID LOOK UP MANY, MANY DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF 01:02:09.195 --> 01:02:13.145 THE POWER OF THE CHURCH, OF WHY GOING TO A CHURCH, BEING PART OF 01:02:13.145 --> 01:02:16.800 A CHURCH IS IMPORTANT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I CONCLUDED, 01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:20.245 BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL SAY THINGS LIKE, "WELL, THE 01:02:20.245 --> 01:02:25.372 CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING. I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A PHYSICAL 01:02:25.372 --> 01:02:28.977 PLACE." AND WHAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THEY'LL 01:02:28.977 --> 01:02:32.022 OFTEN SAY, "WE ARE THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS A PEOPLE." WELL, 01:02:32.022 --> 01:02:38.351 IT'S BOTH. IT REALLY IS US. WE ARE THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING 01:02:38.351 --> 01:02:43.816 GOD, BUT ALSO MANY, MANY TIMES IN SCRIPTURE, IT WAS 01:02:43.816 --> 01:02:48.852 AN ASSEMBLING PLACE, A PLACE THAT WAS PURPOSEFUL. THAT'S WHY 01:02:48.852 --> 01:02:54.480 GOD INSTRUCTED MOSES TO BUILD A TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS, 01:02:54.480 --> 01:02:58.874 WHICH WAS ACTS 7:38 SAID IT WAS THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS. 01:02:58.874 --> 01:03:02.659 GOD LITERALLY HAD THE PEOPLE, THE CHURCH, COME TOGETHER UNDER 01:03:02.659 --> 01:03:07.229 PASTOR MOSES AND LITERALLY GO TO A PHYSICAL TABERNACLE. THEN IF 01:03:07.229 --> 01:03:12.154 THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, SOLOMON BUILT A TEMPLE, A PLACE WHERE 01:03:12.154 --> 01:03:16.213 THE PEOPLE COULD COME TOGETHER TO BE WITH GOD AND GOD COULD BE 01:03:16.213 --> 01:03:19.085 WITH THEM. AND THEN THE SCRIPTURE KEPT TELLING OVER AND 01:03:19.085 --> 01:03:25.118 OVER AND OVER ABOUT DON'T FORGET ASSEMBLING TOGETHER. DON'T 01:03:25.118 --> 01:03:27.942 FORGET THE GATHERING TOGETHER. AND IF YOU ALL REMEMBER— HOW 01:03:27.942 --> 01:03:29.707 MANY REMEMBER THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? THIS ISN'T MY 01:03:29.707 --> 01:03:33.767 MESSAGE, BUT I JUST WANT TO REMIND US OF THIS. THE TEN 01:03:33.767 --> 01:03:36.270 COMMANDMENTS. HOW MANY EVER WATCHED THAT AROUND? USED TO BE 01:03:36.270 --> 01:03:39.755 THEY PLAYED JESUS JESUS OF NAZARETH. NOW THEY DON'T PLAY 01:03:39.755 --> 01:03:42.989 THAT AS MUCH. THEY PLAY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. BUT YOU REMEMBER 01:03:42.989 --> 01:03:45.956 IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, IT'S OUT OF THE BIBLE. YOU COULD SEE 01:03:45.956 --> 01:03:54.139 IT AS PART OF THE LITERAL MOVIE AND STUFF WHERE THEY LITERALLY 01:03:54.139 --> 01:03:58.440 CAME AND GOD GAVE THEM INSTRUCTIONS TO MEET HIM AT A 01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:04.428 MOUNTAIN. SO IT WAS MOUNT SINAI. AND GOD TOLD THEM, SAID, "I WANT 01:04:04.428 --> 01:04:06.316 YOU TO MEET WITH ME, AND I WANT TO MEET WITH YOU." AND GOD WOULD 01:04:06.316 --> 01:04:09.610 REGULARLY COME DOWN AND THEY WOULD HAVE CHURCH. AND IT WAS 01:04:09.610 --> 01:04:12.916 ALL ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF GOD. IT WAS ABOUT GOD WITH MAN AND 01:04:12.916 --> 01:04:17.875 MAN WITH GOD, BUT IT WAS ALSO ABOUT GOD WITH THE PEOPLE. AND 01:04:17.875 --> 01:04:22.626 THEY CAME TO A PHYSICAL PLACE, RIGHT? THEY CAME TO A MOUNTAIN. 01:04:22.626 --> 01:04:26.221 THEY GATHERED THERE TO GO TO CHURCH. AND GOD EVEN TOLD THEM, 01:04:26.221 --> 01:04:29.912 SAID, "HEY, DRESS UP. LOOK NICE, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA COME DOWN. I'M 01:04:29.912 --> 01:04:32.158 GONNA BE WITH YOU, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH EACH OTHER, AND 01:04:32.158 --> 01:04:35.294 YOU'RE GONNA BE WITH ME." HOW MANY REMEMBER THAT? CLEAN UP, 01:04:35.294 --> 01:04:38.932 DRESS UP, AND GET TO CHURCH. MEET ME AT THE MOUNTAIN. AND SO 01:04:38.932 --> 01:04:42.521 I APPRECIATE YOU FOR HONORING THAT TODAY AND THOSE OF YOU THAT 01:04:42.521 --> 01:04:47.987 ARE WATCHING, TAKING TIME TO MAKE GOD'S CHURCH, YOU THE 01:04:47.987 --> 01:04:52.451 CHURCH, AS AN IMPORTANT THING. AND ESPECIALLY IN A SOCIETY AND 01:04:52.451 --> 01:04:56.264 A CULTURE THAT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY AND CHALLENGE OUR RELIGIOUS 01:04:56.264 --> 01:04:59.511 LIBERTIES, IF THERE'S ANY MESSAGE THAT WE CAN SAY TO A 01:04:59.511 --> 01:05:04.443 CULTURE AND TO A PEOPLE THAT SOMEHOW WANT TO PUSH GOD OUT OF 01:05:04.443 --> 01:05:09.452 THE REMEMBRANCE OF OUR COUNTRY. THIS COUNTRY IS A CHRISTIAN 01:05:09.452 --> 01:05:15.175 NATION. IT WAS FOUNDED UPON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES. AND WE'VE 01:05:15.175 --> 01:05:18.247 GOT A GENERATION OF PEOPLE WHO WANT US TO FORGET GOD AND WANT 01:05:18.247 --> 01:05:21.894 US TO IGNORE GOING TO CHURCH. AND IF THEY HAD EVERY WAY THAT 01:05:21.894 --> 01:05:25.657 THEY COULD, THEY WOULD LOVE TO TAKE AWAY CHURCHES. AND THEY 01:05:25.657 --> 01:05:31.108 DON'T MIND IF YOU BUILD A MOSQUE. SO THANK YOU FOR COMING 01:05:31.108 --> 01:05:33.512 TO CHURCH. AND MY PRAYER IS THAT YOU DON'T JUST GO BACK TO 01:05:33.512 --> 01:05:36.717 CHURCH, YOU STAY IN CHURCH.

SO, ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S OPEN OUR BIBLES TO LUKE 01:05:44.007 --> 01:05:47.693 CHAPTER 18, AND I WANT US TO LOOK AT A STORY THAT JESUS 01:05:47.693 --> 01:05:51.122 TALKED ABOUT THAT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT 01:05:51.122 --> 01:05:54.681 THE IMPORTANCE OF WATCHING OUR ATTITUDES. AND BY THE WAY, MY 01:05:54.681 --> 01:05:57.637 MOM GAVE ME THIS. MOM, THANK YOU. SHE TAPPED ME ON MY 01:05:57.637 --> 01:06:02.231 SHOULDER. AND NO, THAT WASN'T THE— I MEAN, MY MOM'S AN ANGEL, 01:06:02.231 --> 01:06:05.009 BUT IT WAS ANOTHER ANGEL THAT TOUCHED ME. BUT THIS, SHE GAVE 01:06:05.009 --> 01:06:07.499 ME ONE OF THE LITTLE FLAGS, AND SHE SAID YOU COULD WIPE YOUR 01:06:07.499 --> 01:06:09.346 GLASSES WITH THAT. SO THANK YOU, MOM. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD 01:06:09.346 --> 01:06:11.996 SEE THAT AROUND THE WORLD. AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I 01:06:11.996 --> 01:06:15.145 WIPE MY GLASSES, MY EYES WILL SEE THE COMING OF THE GLORY OF 01:06:15.145 --> 01:06:18.983 THE LORD. SO THANK YOU FOR THESE.

AND 01:06:34.222 --> 01:06:39.438 JESUS SPOKE A PARABLE UNTO THEM TO THIS END, THAT MEN OUGHT 01:06:39.438 --> 01:06:43.672 ALWAYS TO PRAY AND NOT FAINT. NOW STOP RIGHT THERE. NOW I 01:06:43.672 --> 01:06:48.492 DON'T THINK HE'S JUST SAYING MEN LIKE LOCK IN THE MALE GENDER. 01:06:48.492 --> 01:06:52.041 NO, THERE'S NO GENDER CONFUSION WITH THAT, RIGHT? HE'S TALKING 01:06:52.041 --> 01:06:58.031 ABOUT MANKIND, PEOPLE. NOW NOTICE WHAT HE TELLS US TO DO IN 01:06:58.031 --> 01:07:03.412 TIMES WHERE YOU WANT TO FAINT. YOU WANT TO GIVE UP. YOU FEEL 01:07:03.412 --> 01:07:08.487 HOPELESS. YOU FEEL LIKE LIFE IS SO MUCH FULL OF CHALLENGES. I 01:07:08.487 --> 01:07:11.362 SHARED AT OUR CONFERENCE LAST WEEK, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE 01:07:11.362 --> 01:07:14.266 VISITING OR TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY ABOUT HOW IN THE 01:07:14.266 --> 01:07:18.980 BOOK OF SAMUEL DAVID, WHO WAS KING AT THAT TIME, AND HIS 01:07:18.980 --> 01:07:22.347 KINGDOM AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THE KINGDOM KEPT GETTING FROM 01:07:22.347 --> 01:07:25.795 THE PHILISTINES.

THEY KEPT HAVING CONTINUOUS WARS, WAR 01:07:30.124 --> 01:07:34.309 AFTER WAR AFTER WAR, BATTLE AFTER BATTLE AFTER BATTLE.

JESUS GIVES US THE WAY TO 01:07:51.812 --> 01:07:56.771 NAVIGATE THROUGH CHALLENGING TIMES. HE JUST TELLS US IN ONE 01:07:56.771 --> 01:08:01.826 LITTLE STATEMENT, IN ONE VERSE RIGHT THERE, HOW TO GET THROUGH 01:08:01.826 --> 01:08:05.372 WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO GIVE UP, YOU FEEL HOPELESS, YOU 01:08:05.372 --> 01:08:08.147 DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. OR HOW 01:08:08.147 --> 01:08:10.182 ABOUT THIS? YOU FEEL LIKE THROWING YOUR HANDS UP. MAYBE 01:08:10.182 --> 01:08:12.970 SOME OF YOU, YOU QUIT GOING TO CHURCH BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE, 01:08:12.970 --> 01:08:16.479 "WELL, GOD, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE SO BUSY WITH EVERYTHING ELSE BUT 01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:22.584 ME." NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAID. MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO DO WHAT? TO 01:08:22.584 --> 01:08:28.977 PRAY. NEVER STOP TALKING TO GOD. NEVER STOP LIFTING UP YOUR VOICE 01:08:28.977 --> 01:08:33.159 TO THE LORD MOST HIGH. HE CARES FOR US. "WELL, I DON'T THINK HE 01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:36.109 DOES." WELL, HE CARED ENOUGH TO SEND JESUS JESUS CHRIST. NOT 01:08:36.109 --> 01:08:40.523 ONLY DOES THE BIBLE SAY IT, BUT HISTORY WILL CONFIRM IT. SCIENCE 01:08:40.523 --> 01:08:45.741 CONFIRMS IT, THAT THERE WAS THIS MAN NAMED JESUS OF NAZARETH WHO 01:08:45.741 --> 01:08:50.894 CAME AND DIED AND BLED ON A CROSS AND THE THIRD DAY ROSE 01:08:50.894 --> 01:08:54.169 AGAIN. EVEN THOUGH THEY TRIED TO DENY IT, THE GOVERNMENT TRIED TO 01:08:54.169 --> 01:08:59.386 COVER IT UP, THEY COULD NOT BECAUSE OVER 500 SAW HIM ALIVE 01:08:59.386 --> 01:09:02.100 AFTER THE RESURRECTION. AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, I'M ONE OF 01:09:02.100 --> 01:09:06.285 THOSE THAT CONTINUE TO KNOW AND HAVE SEEN THAT OUR SAVIOR AND 01:09:06.285 --> 01:09:12.940 OUR KING, OUR GOD JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE. AMEN. SO HE SAID, "MEN 01:09:12.940 --> 01:09:16.403 OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY." YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO? AND I DON'T KNOW 01:09:16.403 --> 01:09:20.172 ABOUT YOU, I'VE HAD TIMES WHERE I DON'T FEEL LIKE PRAYING. I 01:09:20.172 --> 01:09:23.780 DON'T WANT TO READ MY BIBLE, AND I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH. I 01:09:23.780 --> 01:09:27.628 DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING SPIRITUAL. THERE'S TIMES IN MY 01:09:27.628 --> 01:09:32.591 LIFE WHERE I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH I WANT TO DO IS GO 01:09:32.591 --> 01:09:35.901 BIBLICAL. NOW, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BEING A SINNER, BUT 01:09:35.901 --> 01:09:39.661 SOMETIMES I DON'T WANT TO READ MY BIBLE. I DON'T WANT TO PRAY. 01:09:39.661 --> 01:09:42.489 OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE A PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL. YES, I KNOW. I'M A 01:09:42.489 --> 01:09:46.522 HUMAN BEING TOO. AND I'M JUST LIKE YOU WHERE THERE'S TIMES 01:09:46.522 --> 01:09:51.471 WHERE I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT. I WANT MY WIFE TO RUB MY FEET, 01:09:51.471 --> 01:09:58.777 FAN ME, GIVE ME CHOCOLATE M&MS, AND CALL ME KING. HANK. BUT I'VE 01:09:58.777 --> 01:10:03.025 HAD TIMES IN MY LIFE WHERE, LET'S FACE IT, IT'S BEEN TOUGH, 01:10:04.533 --> 01:10:07.165 AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THE SPIRITUAL THINGS. I WAS TELLING 01:10:07.165 --> 01:10:10.787 BRENDA THE OTHER DAY, MAN, WHERE I HAVE TO REALLY DISCIPLINE 01:10:10.787 --> 01:10:14.587 MYSELF IS I STUDY THE WORD A LOT, AND I HAVE TO DISCIPLINE 01:10:14.587 --> 01:10:19.750 MYSELF NOT TO STUDY THE BIBLE FOR A SERMON. AND THE OTHER DAY 01:10:19.750 --> 01:10:22.022 I WAS OPENING MY BIBLE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED GETTING A 01:10:22.022 --> 01:10:25.401 GREAT SERMON OUT OF PSALM 84. 1989, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE 01:10:25.401 --> 01:10:29.090 TO ME, SAID, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M PREPARING A SERMON. HE SAID, 01:10:29.090 --> 01:10:33.215 I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU THE WORD. I WANT TO TEACH YOU SOME 01:10:33.215 --> 01:10:36.875 THINGS, HANK, FOR YOU. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU. AND I THOUGHT, 01:10:36.875 --> 01:10:38.834 ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL GET OUT OF THAT ONE. AND I WENT TO A NICE 01:10:38.834 --> 01:10:43.255 LITTLE OTHER LITTLE PASSAGE AND LET IT MINISTER TO ME. BUT HAVE 01:10:43.255 --> 01:10:46.082 YOU EVER BEEN IN THAT PLACE WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THE 01:10:46.082 --> 01:10:48.827 SPIRITUAL THING? AND I THINK WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER TIME, 01:10:48.827 --> 01:10:53.982 THERE'S BEEN SUCH A WAR IN OUR CULTURE. AND IT'S COME THROUGH 01:10:53.982 --> 01:10:58.674 MEAN-SPIRITED POLITICIANS AND POLITICS. IT'S COME THROUGH THE 01:10:58.674 --> 01:11:03.655 BATTLES THAT WE FACE ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS THAT WE STOP 01:11:03.655 --> 01:11:07.611 WANTING TO BE SPIRITUAL. AND YOU KNOW WHY I KNOW? BECAUSE LISTEN, 01:11:07.611 --> 01:11:12.427 THERE WAS A GENERATION BEFORE US THAT STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH, 01:11:14.374 --> 01:11:19.493 AND THEY PASSED THAT DOWN ONTO THEIR KIDS. Y'ALL LOOK AT ME 01:11:19.493 --> 01:11:22.566 LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, BUT THERE WAS A 01:11:22.566 --> 01:11:25.493 GENERATION BEFORE THAT GENERATION THAT, BOY, THEY'D 01:11:25.493 --> 01:11:31.675 WHIP YOUR BUTT IF YOU WEREN'T IN CHURCH. ONE THING YOU KNEW, YOU 01:11:31.675 --> 01:11:36.015 COULD LIVE LIKE THE DEVIL MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, BUT YOU BETTER 01:11:36.015 --> 01:11:38.647 GET YOUR BACKSIDE TO CHURCH. I'LL SPANK YOU ALL THE WAY 01:11:38.647 --> 01:11:42.289 THERE. HOW MANY COME FROM THAT GENERATION? ALL RIGHT, YOU JUST 01:11:42.289 --> 01:11:44.693 TOLD I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE. NOW HERE'S THE THING, BUT I 01:11:44.693 --> 01:11:51.236 MEAN, HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW OF THAT GENERATION? TODAY WE GOT 01:11:51.236 --> 01:11:54.872 PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE SPIRITUAL. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO 01:11:54.872 --> 01:12:00.443 THE GOD THING. AND JESUS SAID, LOOK, IF YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE 01:12:00.443 --> 01:12:06.185 IMPORTANCE OF THE GOD FACTOR IN YOUR LIFE, PRAYING, READING YOUR 01:12:06.185 --> 01:12:10.887 BIBLE, INCLUDING GOD ON A PERSONAL BASIS EVERY DAY. 01:12:10.887 --> 01:12:16.416 HE SAID, "YOU WON'T FAINT. YOU WON'T QUIT. YOU WON'T GIVE UP. 01:12:16.416 --> 01:12:22.586 YOU WON'T CAVE. AND YOU WON'T BE DECEIVED WHEN ALL KINDS OF 01:12:22.586 --> 01:12:26.288 INFORMATION IS BEING THROWN AT YOU." BY THE WAY, THERE'S THIS 01:12:26.288 --> 01:12:30.214 BIG ARGUMENT NOW, YOU KNOW, THAT DON'T MESS WITH MY FIRST 01:12:30.214 --> 01:12:33.820 AMENDMENT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT IS GETTING TIRED OF 01:12:33.820 --> 01:12:38.724 THE FAKE LYING NEWS THAT KEEPS LYING. I MEAN, I WATCH. I MEAN, 01:12:38.724 --> 01:12:41.611 IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT, LEFT, OR IN BETWEEN. 01:12:41.611 --> 01:12:44.870 I'M LIKE, HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND YOU ARE 01:12:44.870 --> 01:12:48.258 TREATING HIM WRONG. YOU ARE INTERRUPTING HIM. YOU ARE ASKING 01:12:48.258 --> 01:12:51.598 LOADED QUESTIONS. YOU'RE NOT EVEN REPORTING THE NEWS. YOU'RE 01:12:51.598 --> 01:12:56.463 NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THINGS. YOU'RE CREATING THE NEWS. LET ME 01:12:56.463 --> 01:12:59.803 SAY THIS, THE FIRST AMENDMENT, IT WASN'T ABOUT SO THAT YOU 01:12:59.803 --> 01:13:05.021 COULD ARGUE, CREATE STRIFE, BICKER, AND FIGHT FOR YOUR 01:13:05.021 --> 01:13:14.333 WHATEVER. AND LIE ABOUT IT WHILE YOU FIGHT FOR IT. NO, THE FIRST 01:13:14.333 --> 01:13:17.441 AMENDMENT WAS FIRST OF ALL TO PROTECT ALSO RELIGIOUS 01:13:17.441 --> 01:13:21.062 LIBERTIES. THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF SPEECH TO TALK ABOUT 01:13:21.062 --> 01:13:27.134 JESUS CHRIST. TO SHARE JESUS CHRIST. TO LET OTHERS KNOW ABOUT 01:13:27.134 --> 01:13:31.060 JESUS CHRIST. TO HAVE THE EXPRESSION OF WHAT WE CALL THE 01:13:31.060 --> 01:13:34.921 CHURCH. BUT IT REALLY WAS SO THAT YOU COULD SPEAK ABOUT YOUR 01:13:34.921 --> 01:13:39.201 LIBERTY. LIBERTY. YOU COULD TELL THE TRUTH, STAND FOR THE TRUTH, 01:13:39.201 --> 01:13:42.571 REPRESENT THE TRUTH, NOT HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH SO THAT YOU 01:13:42.571 --> 01:13:48.081 CAN PREY ON A GENERATION THROUGH IMMORAL ACTIVITIES, THROUGH LIES 01:13:48.081 --> 01:13:51.397 AND DECEPTION AND CORRUPTION. THAT ISN'T WHAT THE FIRST 01:13:51.397 --> 01:13:58.113 AMENDMENT IS ABOUT. AND Y'ALL OUGHT TO ALL BE BANNED. I WILL. 01:14:00.641 --> 01:14:02.492 WELL, PASTOR HANK, NOBODY'S GOING TO COME BACK TO YOUR 01:14:02.492 --> 01:14:04.271 CHURCH. I'D RATHER YOU KNOW HOW I AM NOW. 01:14:06.510 --> 01:14:07.311 BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I AM. 01:14:08.410 --> 01:14:11.926 AND THE REASON WHY WE GOT A JACKED-UP PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WE 01:14:11.926 --> 01:14:15.021 GOT JACKED-UP PASTORS AND JACKED-UP CHURCHES THAT DON'T 01:14:15.021 --> 01:14:21.704 TELL YOU NOTHING. THEY LIE TO YOU TOO. OKAY, THEY ACT LIKE, 01:14:21.704 --> 01:14:25.513 "WELL, MY SERMON TODAY IS ABOUT IT'S BEEN RAINY AND I HAVEN'T 01:14:25.513 --> 01:14:28.961 BEEN ABLE TO WASH MY CAR. AND SOMETIMES LIFE IS FULL OF 01:14:28.961 --> 01:14:36.062 DISRUPTIONS." INTERRUPTIONS. BOY, YOU'RE DEEP. WHILE Y'ALL 01:14:36.062 --> 01:14:40.256 GETTING ATTACKED AT THE SCHOOL, YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING 01:14:40.256 --> 01:14:43.886 CONVINCED THAT THEY'RE A LITTLE BOY, THAT THEY ARE A GIRL, AND 01:14:43.886 --> 01:14:47.684 THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY NOTHING. THEN YOU TURN ON YOUR 01:14:47.684 --> 01:14:50.803 TELEVISION SET AND YOU'RE GETTING KNOCKED UP AND BEAT UP 01:14:50.803 --> 01:14:55.914 OVER YOUR HEAD BECAUSE THEY'RE LYING TO YOU, MAKING YOU SCARED. 01:14:57.489 --> 01:15:00.075 MAKING YOU BELIEVE A LIE. HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE REALLY DOING. 01:15:00.075 --> 01:15:05.669 ROMANS CHAPTER 1. THEY'RE TAKING THE TRUTH AND THEY'RE TURNING IT 01:15:05.669 --> 01:15:16.147 INTO A LIE. AND YOU ARE GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO SWALLOW IT. I CAN HEAR 01:15:16.147 --> 01:15:18.488 SOMEONE GETTING BACK TO CHURCH. THEY AIN'T EVER COMING BACK 01:15:18.488 --> 01:15:23.090 HERE. IT'S AMAZING THAT GUY'S EVEN GOT A CHURCH. YOU DIDN'T 01:15:23.090 --> 01:15:30.264 CALL ME. JESUS DID, AND I HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH ON HIS BEHALF. 01:15:30.264 --> 01:15:33.643 BUT HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE WHEN YOU WANT TO GIVE UP? HE SPOKE A 01:15:33.643 --> 01:15:36.364 PARABLE UNTO THEM, SAID, MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY AND NOT 01:15:36.364 --> 01:15:38.377 FAINT. NOW HE GIVES US AN EXAMPLE. LET'S KEEP READING. 01:15:38.377 --> 01:15:42.283 LOOK AT VERSE 2, SAYING, THERE WAS IN A CITY A JUDGE. HOW MANY 01:15:42.283 --> 01:15:45.541 KNOW WE GOT JUDGES IN OUR CITIES? WE GOT JUDGES IN THE 01:15:45.541 --> 01:15:52.072 SUPREME COURT, AND MOST OF THEM ARE STUPID. I'M LIKE, YOU'RE ALL 01:15:52.072 --> 01:15:59.240 SUPPOSED TO BE SMART. MY COMMON SENSE TELLS ME THAT SHOULD 01:15:59.240 --> 01:16:05.107 HAVE BEEN A COMMON-SENSE RULING. BUT SEE, NOW WHEN YOU'RE A JUDGE 01:16:05.107 --> 01:16:08.421 AND YOU MAKE UP THE RULES AND YOU LEGISLATE FROM THE BENCH, 01:16:08.421 --> 01:16:12.205 YOU THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND AND YOU THROW COMMON SENSE OUT 01:16:12.205 --> 01:16:15.308 THE WINDOW. BUT HERE'S WHAT YOU ALSO DO. YOU BYPASS THE UNITED 01:16:15.308 --> 01:16:22.018 STATES CONSTITUTION TO SUPPORT YOUR OWN AGENDA. SO THERE WAS IN 01:16:22.018 --> 01:16:26.426 A DAY A JUDGE WHO DIDN'T EVEN FEAR GOD. BOY, WE GOT A FEW OF 01:16:26.426 --> 01:16:32.359 THOSE, DON'T WE? AND DIDN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT MAN. YEAH, WE HAD A 01:16:32.359 --> 01:16:37.546 JUDGE RULE IT'S A MISTRIAL, AND 3 LITTLE KIDS HAD TO HANG 01:16:37.546 --> 01:16:42.127 BECAUSE A STUPID JUDGE DIDN'T REGARD THE LITTLE, 3 LITTLE KIDS 01:16:42.127 --> 01:16:49.246 THAT DIED BECAUSE OF POSTPARTUM HORMONAL WOMAN. AND THEN, WELL, 01:16:49.246 --> 01:16:55.693 HOW MANY JURORS WERE THERE THAT THOUGHT SHE WAS INNOCENT? 11 01:16:55.693 --> 01:17:04.268 GOOFBALLS. AND 1 MAN, THANK YOU FOR THAT 1 MAN. SOMETIMES ALL IT 01:17:04.268 --> 01:17:08.845 TAKES IS 1 MAN TO STAND UP AND SAY, "EXCUSE ME, BUT THERE'S 01:17:08.845 --> 01:17:23.425 3 LITTLE KIDS THAT ARE DEAD!" ONE MAN. ONE MAN. JUST LIKE THIS 01:17:23.425 --> 01:17:28.486 ONLY ONE WOMAN. SO THE JUDGE DIDN'T FEAR GOD. DIDN'T REGARD 01:17:28.486 --> 01:17:34.868 MAN. LOOK AT VERSE 3. AND THERE WAS A WIDOW. ONE MAN. ONE WOMAN 01:17:34.868 --> 01:17:38.250 IN THAT CITY, AND SHE CAME UNTO HIM SAYING, HEY, AVENGE ME OF MY 01:17:38.250 --> 01:17:41.857 ADVERSARIES. IN OTHER WORDS, COME ON, MAN, I AM GETTING 01:17:41.857 --> 01:17:46.971 MESSED WITH. I AM GETTING CHALLENGED. I AM TIRED OF THE 01:17:46.971 --> 01:17:51.155 WARFARE. I'M TIRED OF THE MISTREATMENT. I WANT JUSTICE. 01:17:51.155 --> 01:17:55.227 COME ON, I THINK IF THERE'S EVER SOMETHING THAT IS A CRY IN OUR 01:17:55.227 --> 01:17:59.395 COUNTRY IS, CAN WE JUST HAVE SOME LAW AND ORDER? CAN WE JUST 01:17:59.395 --> 01:18:02.298 HAVE SOME CAN WE HAVE SOME FOLK WITH SOME COMMON SENSE? CAN WE 01:18:02.298 --> 01:18:05.688 HAVE SOME PEOPLE WITH SOME MORAL VALUES? HOW ABOUT CAN WE HAVE 01:18:05.688 --> 01:18:10.373 SOME FOLK WITH SOME BIBLICAL VALUES? CAN WE JUST HAVE SOME 01:18:10.373 --> 01:18:14.651 JUSTICE? AND WITH OUR JUSTICE, CAN WE JUST HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF 01:18:14.651 --> 01:18:22.710 RIGHTEOUSNESS? LOOK AT VERSE 4. AND HE WOULD NOT FOR A WHILE. SO 01:18:22.710 --> 01:18:26.808 IN OTHER WORDS, HE WAS AN IDIOT, JUST LIKE THE SUPREME COURT HAVE 01:18:26.808 --> 01:18:34.016 BEEN AN IDIOT FOR DECADES. YEAH, YEAH, THAT AIN'T A BABY IN THE 01:18:34.016 --> 01:18:38.926 WOMB, SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND KILL IT. AND THEN WE'RE SO— 01:18:38.926 --> 01:18:42.125 WE'RE SUCH A DIPSTICK JUDGE. EVEN IF THAT BABY'S CRYING 01:18:42.125 --> 01:18:48.090 OUTSIDE THE WOMB, THAT AIN'T NO BABY. IT'S A FETUS WITH 01:18:48.090 --> 01:18:55.157 EXPRESSION. IT'S A BLOB MAKING NOISE BECAUSE IT'S OUTSIDE OF 01:18:55.157 --> 01:18:58.959 ITS ELEMENT OF WHATEVER IT IS INSIDE OF THAT PLACE YOU CALL A 01:18:58.959 --> 01:19:04.762 WOMB. SO GO AHEAD AND KILL IT. AND IT GOES ON FOR A WHILE, THE 01:19:04.762 --> 01:19:08.730 INJUSTICE. IT GOES ON FOR A WHILE WHERE I'M LIKE, ARE YOU 01:19:08.730 --> 01:19:11.386 KIDDING ME? I MEAN, HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT 01:19:11.386 --> 01:19:17.192 YOU, JUDGE, WHILE YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RULING THE CITIES, 01:19:17.192 --> 01:19:24.835 OUR NATION? BECAUSE YOU GOT IT WRONG, JUDGE. AND THEN WHAT WE 01:19:24.835 --> 01:19:32.673 DO IS WE VOTE PEOPLE IN SO THAT THOSE KIND OF JUDGES CAN BE 01:19:32.673 --> 01:19:39.308 APPOINTED. AND THOSE JUDGES MAKE DECISIONS WITH THE DEVIL 01:19:39.308 --> 01:19:43.164 WHISPERING IN THEIR EARS BECAUSE THEY DON'T REGARD GOD AND THEY 01:19:43.164 --> 01:19:46.619 DON'T REGARD MAN. IF THEY REGARDED MAN, THEY WOULD HAVE 01:19:46.619 --> 01:19:50.160 LOOKED DOWN AT EVERY WOMAN THAT WANTED TO GET RID OF THEIR CHILD 01:19:50.160 --> 01:19:52.858 A CHILD THAT HAS GOTTEN RID OF THEIR CHILD, AND BY THE WAY, 01:19:52.858 --> 01:19:55.104 THERE'S FORGIVENESS, THEY WOULD HAVE SAID, "WAIT A MINUTE, DON'T 01:19:55.104 --> 01:19:59.586 YOU, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT ABOUT THAT BABY? DOES 01:19:59.586 --> 01:20:04.412 THAT BABY HAVE A CHOICE?

WHY DOES THIS STUFF HAVE TO EVEN GO TO THE COURTS? 01:20:30.187 --> 01:20:34.155 BECAUSE PEOPLE AIN'T GOING TO CHURCH. THE VOICE OF THE CHURCH 01:20:34.155 --> 01:20:38.928 IS QUIET, SO THESE JUDGES, THEY BEGIN TO LEGISLATE BY— SAY IT 01:20:38.928 --> 01:20:47.390 WITH ME— DEMONS. YOU'RE SCARING ME GOOD. IT'S TIME TO CHANGE 01:20:49.328 --> 01:20:54.147 TIME TO WAKE UP.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A DIFFERENT RED— 01:20:59.874 --> 01:21:07.066 INDIGNATION. WE GOT TO WAKE UP. WE'RE THE CHURCH. OKAY, 5 01:21:07.066 --> 01:21:10.408 PEOPLE.

BUT HERE'S THE POINT. AND HE WOULD NOT FOR A 01:21:16.008 --> 01:21:18.097 WHILE, BUT AFTERWARDS HE SAID WITHIN HIMSELF, 'THOUGH I DON'T 01:21:18.097 --> 01:21:22.918 FEAR GOD, I DON'T REGARD MAN, YET BECAUSE I'M HAVING THIS 01:21:22.918 --> 01:21:29.345 WIDOW KEEP SHOWING UP AT THE VOTING BOOTH, SHE KEEPS SHOWING 01:21:29.345 --> 01:21:35.950 UP AT THE CITY COUNCIL, SHE KEEPS CALLING MY PHONE, AND NOW 01:21:35.950 --> 01:21:40.609 SHE'S DOING RESEARCH ON ME THAT JUST JUDGE WHETHER I SHOULD 01:21:40.609 --> 01:21:46.313 RETAIN MY BENCH OR NOT.

SO WE GOT THIS 01:34:35.117 --> 01:34:38.422 SAVE AMERICA ACT, AND I'M SITTING HERE GOING, RIGHT, LEFT, 01:34:39.941 --> 01:34:42.704 YOU KNOW WHY Y'ALL CAN'T COME TOGETHER? BECAUSE YOU BOTH ARE 01:34:42.704 --> 01:34:48.970 STEALING THESE ELECTIONS. YOU BOTH ARE FILTHY CORRUPT. AND WE 01:34:48.970 --> 01:34:53.968 WHO VOTE YOU IN HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE HONEST ELECTIONS. WE DON'T 01:34:53.968 --> 01:35:01.512 NEED DEAD PEOPLE WE DON'T NEED ABSENTEE BALLOTS COMING IN. 01:35:01.512 --> 01:35:05.533 Y'ALL DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM. AND THEN MULTIPLE TIMES 01:35:05.533 --> 01:35:13.203 YOU GET TO VOTE. NO, YOU GET TO VOTE ONCE. WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT 01:35:14.605 --> 01:35:20.184 TO HOLD THOSE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEM 01:35:20.184 --> 01:35:27.782 ACCOUNTABLE? ACCOUNTABLE. WHY? OH MY GOSH, I KNOW, I CAN'T 01:35:27.782 --> 01:35:29.989 BELIEVE I INVITED HIM. I TOLD HIM THAT YOU WERE NICE, PASTOR. 01:35:31.667 --> 01:35:35.383 I AM, BUT I'M A VERY TRUTHFUL MAN, AND RIGHT NOW I SEE A NEED 01:35:35.383 --> 01:35:44.770 THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. WE GOT A FEW DAYS TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY, 01:35:45.955 --> 01:35:48.487 AND THEN THE UNJUST JUDGES STRIKE IT DOWN. WELL, WE JUST 01:35:48.487 --> 01:35:52.175 DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S TIME TO MAKE ANY KIND OF MAIL-IN BALLOT 01:35:52.175 --> 01:35:55.724 RESTRICTIONS AND ACCOUNTABILITY. IT SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT TIME. IT 01:35:55.724 --> 01:35:58.759 SHOULD BE ABOUT PRINCIPLE. WE THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT OUR 01:35:58.759 --> 01:36:02.371 ELECTIONS, WHETHER WE'RE ON THE LEFT, RIGHT, IN BETWEEN, WE 01:36:02.371 --> 01:36:07.590 DON'T WANT THEM MESSED WITH BY MACHINES, BY DEAD PEOPLE, BY 01:36:07.590 --> 01:36:12.343 PEOPLE WHO AREN'T LEGAL IN OUR COUNTRY HAVING MORE RIGHTS THAN 01:36:12.343 --> 01:36:16.457 ME WHO EARNED IT, WHO WORKED FOR IT. WITH THE TRUE SPIRIT OF 01:36:16.457 --> 01:36:30.648 CAPITALISM. I MEAN, SO WHAT EVERY ONE OF US OUGHT TO DO IS 01:36:30.648 --> 01:36:34.134 BE CALLING OUR SENATORS AND OUR CONGRESSMEN AND SAYING, "WHAT 01:36:34.134 --> 01:36:38.299 ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING SITTING THIS ONE OUT? WHAT 01:36:38.299 --> 01:36:44.956 ARE YOU DOING ARGUING AMONG YOURSELF?" YOU WORK FOR ME. NOW 01:36:44.956 --> 01:36:59.262 GET TO WORK AND SAVE AMERICA, YOU POLITICAL PATHETIC PERSON. 01:37:00.019 --> 01:37:07.713 OKAY, JUST HAD TO SAY IT BECAUSE I FELT IT. YOU CALLED PEOPLE 01:37:07.713 --> 01:37:12.773 NAMES. SO DID JESUS. HE CALLED THEM WHITEWASHED SEPULCHERS FULL 01:37:12.773 --> 01:37:21.341 OF DEAD MEN'S BONES. GENERATION OF VIPERS, SNAKES, DONKEYS, 01:37:21.341 --> 01:37:25.716 RHINOS. SO I'M BIBLICAL. I'M BIBLICAL. I'M JUST STAYING IN 01:37:25.716 --> 01:37:33.121 LINE OF ANIMALS WITH JESUS. LIBERAL DONKEY, YOU RHINO 01:37:33.121 --> 01:37:35.782 REPUBLICAN ELEPHANT. SEE, JESUS 01:37:35.782 --> 01:37:37.572 WENT AFTER VIPERS. THAT'S SNAKES. 01:37:39.874 --> 01:37:40.933 JOHN THE BAPTIST. 01:37:42.165 --> 01:37:44.727 I'M ALMOST DONE SO YOU CAN GO AND GET REPRIEVE AT THE 01:37:44.727 --> 01:37:53.025 RESTAURANTS. I DID NOT PLAN ON PREACHING THIS, BUT WE'RE HAVING 01:37:53.025 --> 01:38:00.949 FUN. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO ON. SO LET'S GO ON. WHERE ARE WE? GO 01:38:00.949 --> 01:38:07.331 BACK TO VERSE 5. YET HE— YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW KEEPS BEING 01:38:07.331 --> 01:38:12.251 IN MY FACE, CALLING MY PHONE, LEST BY HER CONTINUAL 01:38:12.251 --> 01:38:22.392 PERSISTENCE SHE'S WEARING ME OUT. SHE KEPT WITH IT. LOOK AT 01:38:22.392 --> 01:38:26.433 VERSE 6, "AND THE LORD SAID, HEAR WHAT THE UNJUST JUDGE 01:38:26.433 --> 01:38:33.044 SAYS: SHALL NOT GOD AVENGE HIS OWN ELECT, WHICH CRIES DAY AND 01:38:33.044 --> 01:38:36.589 NIGHT UNTO HIM, THOUGH WE BEAR WITH THEM LONG?" IN OTHER WORDS, 01:38:36.589 --> 01:38:42.063 IT CAME TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS NIGHT AND DAY, NIGHT AND 01:38:42.063 --> 01:38:47.368 DAY. SHE DID NOT STOP. AND GUESS WHAT? WHO BROUGHT CHANGE? WELL, 01:38:47.368 --> 01:38:55.028 THE JUDGE DID. NO. THAT WAS JUST A MANIFESTATION. WHO BROUGHT 01:38:55.028 --> 01:39:05.358 CHANGE? DON'T SAY GOD DID. IT WAS THE WOMAN THAT CAUSED THE 01:39:05.358 --> 01:39:13.541 DEMONIC JUDGE TO CHANGE. IT WAS THE WOMAN THAT BROUGHT THE GOD 01:39:13.541 --> 01:39:17.298 FACTOR THAT BROUGHT GOD IN. SOMETIMES WE'RE THINKING, OH, 01:39:17.298 --> 01:39:21.251 IT'S JUST GOD. HE'LL DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO. THAT'S NOT THE 01:39:21.251 --> 01:39:25.772 WAY JESUS TOLD THE STORY. HE DIDN'T TELL THE STORY THAT HANDS 01:39:25.772 --> 01:39:32.120 OFF AND GOD SHOWS UP. HE DIDN'T TEACH BE HANDS OFF AND I'LL JUST 01:39:32.120 --> 01:39:36.105 COME IN AND I'LL CHANGE THE POLITICIAN'S HEART AND I'LL GIVE 01:39:36.105 --> 01:39:39.695 YOU RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. I'LL GIVE YOU LIBERTIES IN YOUR STATE, 01:39:39.695 --> 01:39:42.061 YOUR CITY COUNCIL, OVER YOUR BATHROOMS, 01:39:42.061 --> 01:39:48.029 WOMEN, WOMEN'S SPORTS. I'LL GIVE YOU LIBERTY BECAUSE I'M GOD. HE 01:39:48.029 --> 01:39:53.050 DIDN'T TELL THE STORY THAT WAY. HE TOLD THE STORY BASED ON 01:39:53.050 --> 01:39:58.986 SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING TO TAKE THE ENERGY, THE TIME TO HAVE THE 01:39:58.986 --> 01:40:03.911 RIGHT ATTITUDE, THE RIGHT WORDS, AND KEEP HAMMERING IT UNTIL YOU 01:40:03.911 --> 01:40:07.888 SAW GOOD CHANGE. THEN IT BROUGHT YOU WANT GOD TO CARRY IT OUT. 01:40:10.510 --> 01:40:15.921 OKAY, CAN I HAVE— THANK YOU FOR ONE HAND CLAP. THANK YOU. THANK 01:40:15.921 --> 01:40:20.111 YOU. I'M GOING TO DO IT SO— I'VE ALREADY GOT YOU MAD AT ME. 01:40:20.111 --> 01:40:23.524 LISTEN, I THINK YOU'RE SO FANTASTIC. I THINK YOU'RE 01:40:23.524 --> 01:40:28.569 TERRIFIC. YOU'RE SUCH A GREAT PERSON. SUCH A GREAT PERSON. 01:40:28.569 --> 01:40:30.826 ISN'T SHE WONDERFUL? LET'S GIVE HER A HAND CLAP. SHE'S SUCH A 01:40:30.826 --> 01:40:33.145 WONDERFUL PERSON. YOU'RE PROBABLY THE BEST YOU'RE THE 01:40:33.145 --> 01:40:36.805 BEST CLAPPER OF ALL CHURCHES. YOU'RE THE BEST. YEAH, SHE'S THE 01:40:36.805 --> 01:40:41.255 BEST. I CAN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT YOU, BUT SHE'S GREAT. 01:40:41.255 --> 01:40:42.220 SHE'S GREAT. 01:40:51.018 --> 01:40:52.827 IT'S A GOOD THING I'M A SECURE PREACHER. 01:40:56.810 --> 01:41:02.427 IT'S PROBABLY NOT A BACK-TO-CHURCH MESSAGE. IT'S 01:41:02.427 --> 01:41:13.235 TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICE UP. LOOK AT LUKE 21:25-28. NOW, SOMETIMES 01:41:13.235 --> 01:41:17.325 WE CAN GET IN A PLACE WHERE IT'S HARDER FOR US TO LIFT UP OUR 01:41:17.325 --> 01:41:26.175 VOICE IF WE DON'T HAVE OUR HEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THIS IS WHY 01:41:26.175 --> 01:41:32.585 THIS KIND OF PREACHING, IT MESSES WITH YOU. IT'S TO GET YOU 01:41:32.585 --> 01:41:40.544 TO BE LIKE THE WIDOW, TO GET UP AND BEGIN TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT 01:41:40.544 --> 01:41:46.046 YOUR LIFE MAKES A DIFFERENCE, THAT CAUSES GOOD TROUBLE, CAUSES 01:41:46.046 --> 01:41:50.049 TROUBLE TO THE TROUBLE, CAUSES TROUBLE TO THE DEVIL, CAUSES 01:41:50.049 --> 01:41:55.803 TROUBLE TO DEMONIC TO DEMONIC ENTITIES AND TO EVIL, RIGHT? 01:41:55.803 --> 01:41:58.952 WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING, EVIL PREVAILS. THAT'S NOT HARD. WE 01:41:58.952 --> 01:42:01.105 SIT THERE AND QUOTE IT AS LONG AS THE PRESIDENT SAYS IT, BUT IF 01:42:01.105 --> 01:42:04.480 A PREACHER SAYS IT, OH, STAY OUT OF POLITICS. WELL, I'M NOT 01:42:04.480 --> 01:42:07.340 TALKING POLITICS. I'M TALKING ABOUT A CULTURE, A GENERATION 01:42:08.400 --> 01:42:12.755 INFILTRATED WITH EVIL. IF WE DO NOTHING, THEN EVIL PREVAILS. BUT 01:42:12.755 --> 01:42:16.694 WE'VE GOT TO TAKE ON THE POSTURE OF, YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S TIME TO 01:42:16.694 --> 01:42:19.965 DO SOMETHING. IT'S TIME TO PUSH BACK. IT'S TIME TO STAND UP. 01:42:19.965 --> 01:42:25.746 IT'S TIME TO RISK IT ALL BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE WHAT 01:42:25.746 --> 01:42:29.882 OTHERS BLED AND DIED FOR AND PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR TO 01:42:29.882 --> 01:42:32.728 SERVE AND TO FIGHT ON OUR BEHALF, OUR GREAT 01:42:32.728 --> 01:42:34.178 VETERANS AND SOLDIERS. 01:42:36.168 --> 01:42:36.960 RIGHT? 01:42:37.617 --> 01:42:40.493 BUT HOW ABOUT THIS? WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT OUR GREAT SOLDIERS. 01:42:40.493 --> 01:42:44.046 HOW ABOUT THE GREATEST SOLDIER, JESUS CHRIST? DO YOU THINK THAT 01:42:44.046 --> 01:42:48.216 HIS CHURCH DOES DESERVES TO HAVE EMPTY CHAIRS EVERY SINGLE 01:42:48.216 --> 01:42:52.300 SUNDAY? DO YOU THINK THAT JESUS CHRIST, WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE, 01:42:52.300 --> 01:42:56.516 ULTIMATE OF ULTIMATE PRICES OF ANY PRICE EVER PAID, THAT 01:42:56.516 --> 01:43:02.057 SPILLED HIS BLOOD GREATER THAN ANY SOLDIER EVER HAS, DO YOU 01:43:02.057 --> 01:43:07.968 THINK THAT HE DESERVES FOR US TO JUST SHUT OUR MOUTHS WHILE FALSE 01:43:07.968 --> 01:43:16.890 GODS TRY TO TAKE OVER? THE DEVIL RUNS RAMPANT EVIL INCREASES 01:43:19.898 --> 01:43:24.237 WHILE GOOD MEN DO NOTHING. HIS CHURCH. OH, STAY OUT OF 01:43:24.237 --> 01:43:28.531 POLITICS. REALLY? JESUS NEVER TAUGHT THAT. IN FACT, HE DIDN'T 01:43:28.531 --> 01:43:32.393 MIND GOING AND SAYING, "HEY, DISCIPLES, DO ME A FAVOR." I'M 01:43:32.393 --> 01:43:37.420 INSERTING MYSELF AS PASTOR JESUS. "GO TELL HEROD THE 01:43:37.420 --> 01:43:40.082 FOX." AND WHEN HE SAID HEROD THE FOX, HE 01:43:40.082 --> 01:43:44.317 WASN'T SAYING, "GO TELL HEROD, THAT SLY OLD KING HE IS, THAT 01:43:44.317 --> 01:43:51.738 SLY OLD BOY." NO, THE WORD FOX, HERE'S THE RIGHT TRANSLATION. 01:43:51.738 --> 01:44:01.177 "GO TELL THAT IMMORAL, BISEXUAL, HOMOSEXUAL KING HEROD, I AM 01:44:01.177 --> 01:44:08.418 CASTING OUT DEVILS TODAY." I'M PREACHING REPENTANCE TODAY AND 01:44:08.418 --> 01:44:12.670 TELLING, BY THE WAY, I AIN'T STOPPING. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE 01:44:12.670 --> 01:44:19.154 TO EXPRESS MYSELF AS THE LORD OF THE CHURCH, WHICH IS ABOUT TO 01:44:19.154 --> 01:44:23.583 ESTABLISH MY CHURCH. AND I'M GOING TO INSERT MYSELF IN YOUR 01:44:23.583 --> 01:44:27.675 FACE, KING HEROD, AND TELL YOU I'M GOING TO KEEP DOING WHAT I'M 01:44:27.675 --> 01:44:33.244 DOING, AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. JOHN THE 01:44:33.244 --> 01:44:40.166 BAPTIST. JOHN THE BAPTIST. THEY BROUGHT HIS HEAD IN ON A 01:44:40.166 --> 01:44:47.647 PLYMOUTH CHARGER. THEY HAD CARS BACK THEN. BECAUSE HE CHOSE NOT 01:44:47.647 --> 01:44:53.121 TO PUT HIS HEAD IN THE SAND. HE ABSOLUTELY CONFRONTED WHAT WAS 01:44:53.121 --> 01:44:58.276 CONSIDERED THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, BUT HE ALSO INSERTED HIMSELF 01:44:58.276 --> 01:45:02.697 IN THE CULTURE. HE WAS NOT AFRAID EVEN TO INSERT HIMSELF 01:45:02.697 --> 01:45:08.203 INTO POLITICS TO WHERE HE LITERALLY SAID ABOUT HEROD, 01:45:08.203 --> 01:45:12.592 HEROD'S BROTHER, "HEY, YOU SHOULD NOT BE SHACKING UP WITH 01:45:12.592 --> 01:45:16.622 THAT. THAT IS IMMORAL. THAT IS WRONG." AND GUESS WHAT? THEY 01:45:16.622 --> 01:45:26.962 CALLED FOR HIM. YOU DIDN'T THINK HE KNEW THAT? PHARAOH KNEW THE 01:45:26.962 --> 01:45:31.381 IMPORTANT ROLE OF HAVING SOMEONE THAT REPRESENTED THE KINGDOM OF 01:45:31.381 --> 01:45:39.072 GOD. HE MADE JOSEPH SECOND IN COMMAND TO HIM. ALL THROUGHOUT 01:45:39.072 --> 01:45:43.189 SCRIPTURE, YOU SEE THOSE WHO WENT ON BEHALF OF THE KING AND 01:45:43.189 --> 01:45:46.535 THE KINGDOM AND INSERTED THEMSELVES IN THE CULTURE, IN 01:45:46.535 --> 01:45:48.910 THE GOVERNMENT, AND THEY SPOKE UP, AND THEY WERE LIKE 01:45:48.910 --> 01:45:52.761 THAT WIDOW. THEY TROUBLED THEM UNTIL THEY BROUGHT A RIGHTEOUS 01:45:52.761 --> 01:45:57.897 RESOLVE. I'M TELLING YOU, WE ARE AT A PLACE IN OUR COUNTRY WHERE 01:45:57.897 --> 01:46:03.554 IT CANNOT JUST BE ABOUT ONE BACK-TO-CHURCH SUNDAY. IT HAS TO 01:46:03.554 --> 01:46:06.663 BE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT 01:46:06.663 --> 01:46:11.107 PRESIDENT TRUMP. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS NOT THE 01:46:11.107 --> 01:46:15.442 DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE SENATE PARTY, THE TEA 01:46:15.442 --> 01:46:18.647 PARTY, WHATEVER PARTY YOU WANT, YOUR OWN PARTY. YOU CAN CRY IF 01:46:18.647 --> 01:46:24.887 YOU WANT TO. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AND ENTITY IS JESUS CHRIST 01:46:24.887 --> 01:46:30.920 AND HIS CHURCH. AND IT IS WORTH STANDING FOR. IT IS WORTH 01:46:30.920 --> 01:46:38.424 FIGHTING FOR. IT IS HIS WAY AS YAHWEH AND NOT OUR WAY. AND WE 01:46:38.424 --> 01:46:42.450 NEED SOME FOLK THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF ATTITUDE 01:46:42.450 --> 01:46:46.260 LIKE THEY I'M LIKE THAT WIDOW. I AIN'T BACKING OFF UNTIL I SEE 01:46:46.260 --> 01:46:52.952 CHANGE. SO NOBODY BETTER BE SITTING THIS ONE OUT. WE HAVE AN 01:46:52.952 --> 01:46:55.607 EVENT. PUT UP THE GRAPHIC. OCTOBER 5TH. I JUST THOUGHT OF 01:46:55.607 --> 01:46:58.149 THIS. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START WALKING. PLEASE, THIS WAY. 01:46:58.391 --> 01:47:03.208 OCTOBER— THIS IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT. YOU NEED TO INVITE 01:47:03.208 --> 01:47:08.405 SOMEBODY. MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH, WE'VE INVITED A FEW OF THOSE WHO 01:47:08.405 --> 01:47:14.156 WORK FOR US, RIGHT? POLITICAL ENTITIES COME. BUT I 01:47:14.156 --> 01:47:16.470 WANT YOU TO JOIN US. I WANT YOU TO JOIN US ONLINE. WE'RE GOING 01:47:16.470 --> 01:47:19.888 TO BE STREAMING IT AS WELL AT 7 O'CLOCK. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 01:47:19.888 --> 01:47:23.834 RICK GREEN HERE. WE NEED TO VOTE OUR VALUES. NOW HERE'S THE 01:47:23.834 --> 01:47:28.076 THING. YOU KNOW WHY THE CHURCH, EVEN NEBRASKA, DOESN'T HALF KNOW 01:47:28.076 --> 01:47:30.985 WHAT THEIR VALUES ARE ANYMORE? BECAUSE PREACHERS ARE COWARDS 01:47:30.985 --> 01:47:35.350 AND CHURCHES AREN'T TALKING ABOUT IT. AND SO THERE'S NO REAL 01:47:35.350 --> 01:47:41.539 MORAL STANDARD, VOICES, EXPRESSIONS. AND SO EVIL IS THE 01:47:41.539 --> 01:47:45.009 ONE THAT'S EXPRESSING ITSELF. THAT'S WHY THE LAST 4 YEARS, 01:47:45.009 --> 01:47:47.518 WHAT DID YOU SEE? I NEVER SAW EVIL AT THAT LEVEL. BUT THEN 01:47:47.518 --> 01:47:50.594 AGAIN, I NEVER SAW SUCH APATHY FROM CHRISTIANS AND FROM 01:47:50.594 --> 01:47:55.149 PREACHERS THAT WOULDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN FIGHTING FOR 01:47:55.149 --> 01:48:02.368 JESUS AND FOR HIS CHURCH. YEAH, BUT DON'T YOU HOW MANY OF YOU 01:48:02.368 --> 01:48:07.006 KNOW THAT JESUS IS THE DOVE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND IT CAME ON HIM? 01:48:07.006 --> 01:48:11.000 IT ONLY MENTIONS ONE TIME THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME AS A DOVE 01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:13.711 AND SETTLED ON JESUS. THE REST OF THE TIME, MAN, SOMETHING 01:48:13.711 --> 01:48:16.374 HAPPENED TO JESUS. HE BECAME THE LION OF JUDAH, BECAUSE IF YOU 01:48:16.374 --> 01:48:20.667 READ IN HEAVEN, HE'S THE LION OF JUDAH. SOMETHING HAPPENED TO 01:48:20.667 --> 01:48:23.702 HIM. IN REVELATION, HE'S COMING BACK ON A HORSE, AND HE'S CALLED 01:48:23.702 --> 01:48:30.490 KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. BUT I WANT YOU TO COME. I WANT 01:48:30.490 --> 01:48:33.614 YOU TO BE A PART OF THIS. I DON'T WANT ANY OF THOSE OF YOU 01:48:33.614 --> 01:48:38.742 WHO BELIEVE IN ME AND WHAT I'M SAYING AS TRUTH TO SIT THIS ONE 01:48:38.742 --> 01:48:42.042 OUT, BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO 01:48:42.042 --> 01:48:45.711 BE ENGAGED IS GOING TO HELP US SO THAT YOU CAN GET OUT AND GET 01:48:45.711 --> 01:48:49.333 OTHER PEOPLE TO SAY, "YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU LOVE KIDS IN THE 01:48:49.333 --> 01:48:52.361 WOMB, OUTSIDE OF THE WOMB, IF YOU LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN AND 01:48:52.361 --> 01:48:54.556 YOU'RE TIRED OF THEM ALWAYS BECOMING THE PREY AND THE 01:48:54.556 --> 01:48:58.230 VICTIM," JESUS WAS VERY HE SAID IT'D BE BETTER THAT THEY TIE A 01:48:58.230 --> 01:49:02.164 MILLSTONE AROUND THE NECK OF THOSE WHO WANT TO MUTILATE OUR 01:49:02.164 --> 01:49:06.901 CHILDREN IN THE NAME OF TRANSGENDER TRANSITIONING THAN 01:49:06.901 --> 01:49:10.417 TO CAUSE ONE OF THESE TO STUMBLE. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR 01:49:10.417 --> 01:49:14.929 US TO BE A VOICE, TO BE A PEOPLE WHO ARE UNASHAMED. YOU KNOW, WE 01:49:14.929 --> 01:49:17.819 THINK, WELL, AND LET ME JUST SAY THIS, WE ALWAYS PREACH ROMANS 01:49:17.819 --> 01:49:22.766 16. WELL, I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. 01:49:23.833 --> 01:49:28.355 YEAH, YOU ARE, BECAUSE YOU ONLY LOOK AT 01:49:28.355 --> 01:49:31.773 THAT VERSE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FOUR WALLS OF A CHURCH, AND THEN 01:49:31.773 --> 01:49:34.754 MAYBE IF YOU GO OUT OF THE FOUR WALLS AND YOU TELL SOMEBODY 01:49:34.754 --> 01:49:38.678 ABOUT JESUS. BUT ARE YOU ASHAMED ABOUT THE GOSPEL IF YOU'RE 01:49:38.678 --> 01:49:42.266 SITTING NEXT TO SOMEBODY ON THE PLANE AND THEY'RE A MUSLIM? 01:49:42.266 --> 01:49:46.404 WELL, THEY GOT THEIR RIGHT TO THEIR RELIGION. ARE YOU ASHAMED 01:49:46.404 --> 01:49:50.298 OF THE GOSPEL WHEN THEY'RE TELLING YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR 01:49:50.298 --> 01:49:53.929 KID BRING A BIBLE, BUT BOY, THEY CAN CHECK OUT A BOOK FROM THE 01:49:53.929 --> 01:49:58.172 LIBRARY THAT TEACHES CHILDREN HOW TO INSERT STUFF INTO THEIR 01:49:58.172 --> 01:50:08.160 RECTUMS AND HAVE INTERCOURSE IN GRADE SCHOOL. YOU'RE ASHAMED OF 01:50:08.160 --> 01:50:10.990 THE GOSPEL IF YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. IF YOU HAVEN'T GONE 01:50:10.990 --> 01:50:13.512 AND CHECKED OUT WHAT YOUR KIDS ARE READING AND WHAT THE 01:50:13.512 --> 01:50:18.774 SCHOLASTIC CLUB IS SUGGESTING AND WHAT THE TEACHER'S ALLOWING 01:50:18.774 --> 01:50:24.439 TO BE READ TO YOUR KIDS. IF YOU THINK I'M HARSH AS A PREACHER 01:50:24.439 --> 01:50:27.411 TODAY AND THIS CHURCH IS OFF BASE, THEN YOU'RE ASHAMED OF THE 01:50:27.411 --> 01:50:34.145 GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER THAT BRINGS, 01:50:34.145 --> 01:50:41.206 LIKE THAT WIDOW, JUDGES, POLITICIANS, CULTURE EVIL TO 01:50:41.206 --> 01:50:47.051 HAVE TO ADJUST TO THE HOLY TROUBLEMAKERS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS 01:50:47.051 --> 01:50:51.467 AND IN HONOR. WE DO THINGS HONORABLY TO HAVE TO CHANGE AND 01:50:51.467 --> 01:50:56.685 TO RELENT. THEY BEGIN TO SAY, HEY MAN, THOSE CHRISTIANS ARE 01:50:56.685 --> 01:51:00.217 THERE, THEY'RE LOUD. BOY, THERE'S A LOT OF THEM. NO, WE 01:51:00.217 --> 01:51:05.147 LOOK TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT PARTIES TO SAVE US. WHAT ABOUT 01:51:05.147 --> 01:51:10.636 THE CHURCH? CHURCH. WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE CHURCH? SO YOU MEAN 01:51:10.636 --> 01:51:15.008 JESUS, YOU DIED SO THAT THE REPUBLICANS CAN MAKE THE WAY? 01:51:19.100 --> 01:51:23.785 JESUS SAID, I'M THE WAY. AND IF YOU ARE PART OF HIS CHURCH, THEN 01:51:23.785 --> 01:51:27.884 YOU'RE TO HELP HIM MAKE THAT WAY. YOU'RE TO HELP HIM HAVE 01:51:27.884 --> 01:51:31.622 ENTRANCE INTO— AS WHAT JESUS SAID, HEY, YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF 01:51:31.622 --> 01:51:36.150 THE WORLD. IN OTHER WORDS, DON'T HIDE UNDER A BUSHEL. GET OUT 01:51:36.150 --> 01:51:43.754 THERE, GET OUT THERE AND EXPRESS YOURSELF AS A CONDUIT FOR ME, 01:51:43.754 --> 01:51:47.327 THE LORD, WHO IS THE WAY, SO THAT YOU CAN ALLOW ME TO HAVE 01:51:47.327 --> 01:51:54.496 ENTRANCE, BECAUSE I AM THE LIGHT IN YOUR DARK WORLD. LET'S STAND 01:51:54.496 --> 01:52:00.222 TO OUR FEET. LOOK AT LUKE 21:20-21. 25 THROUGH 28. IT 01:52:00.222 --> 01:52:03.820 SAYS, AND THERE WILL BE SIGNS IN THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE 01:52:03.820 --> 01:52:07.724 STARS, AND UPON THE EARTH DISTRESS OF NATIONS WITH 01:52:07.724 --> 01:52:11.692 PERPLEXITY. THE SEA AND EVEN THE WAVES ARE GOING TO ROAR. HOW 01:52:11.692 --> 01:52:16.158 MANY KNOW THAT'S CRAZY TIMES? BUT THEN LOOK, YOU GOT TO CLEAR 01:52:16.158 --> 01:52:19.291 YOUR HEAD. YOU GOT TO GET YOUR HEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACE. BUT 01:52:19.291 --> 01:52:23.869 THEN MEN'S HEARTS WILL FAIL THEM FOR FEAR. WHY? BECAUSE THEY LOOK 01:52:23.869 --> 01:52:27.258 AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE COMING ON THE EARTH. THEY'RE LOOKING AT 01:52:27.258 --> 01:52:31.995 THE TV, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE MEDIA AND ALL THE THINGS THAT 01:52:31.995 --> 01:52:35.286 ARE BEING PRESENTED WHICH ARE COMING ON THE EARTH BECAUSE THE 01:52:35.286 --> 01:52:37.599 POWERS OF HEAVEN WILL BE SHAKEN. SO YOU GOT TO GET YOUR HEAD IN 01:52:37.599 --> 01:52:40.665 THE RIGHT PLACE, GOT TO GET YOUR HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT? 01:52:40.665 --> 01:52:43.636 DON'T BE CRITICAL OF WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU. IF YOUR HEART'S 01:52:43.636 --> 01:52:45.547 IN THE RIGHT PLACE, YOUR HEAD'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE, YOU'RE GOING 01:52:45.547 --> 01:52:48.437 TO GO, WOW, IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY SPEAKS UP AND SPEAKS 01:52:48.437 --> 01:52:57.143 OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN TELL YOU, I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO SOME 01:52:57.143 --> 01:53:00.534 POLITICIANS LATELY AND THEY SURE AS HECK AREN'T SPEAKING UP AND 01:53:00.534 --> 01:53:10.973 SPEAKING OUT. I'M LIKE, COME ON, IS THERE GONNA BE ANYONE? I TEXT 01:53:10.973 --> 01:53:14.798 JOHN AMANCHUKWU YESTERDAY BECAUSE I WATCHED ONE OF HIS CLIPS. HE 01:53:14.798 --> 01:53:18.960 LAID IT ON THE LINE, WENT DOWN TO FLORIDA TO ONE OF THE 01:53:18.960 --> 01:53:23.215 SCHOOLS AND STARTED READING THE BOOKS THAT THEY HAD IN THE 01:53:23.215 --> 01:53:30.810 SCHOOL. AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SCHOOL BOARD BEGINS TO INTERRUPT 01:53:30.810 --> 01:53:35.482 HIM, HIS TIME THAT LEGALLY HE IS ALLOTTED TO HAVE, AND THEN 01:53:35.482 --> 01:53:39.737 BEGINS TO CENSOR HIM, SHUTS HIM DOWN, AND THEN SAYS, OH, EXCUSE 01:53:39.737 --> 01:53:43.518 ME, BUT WE CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO SAY YOU CAN'T SAY THIS, AND 01:53:43.518 --> 01:53:47.248 WE'RE STREAMING, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CUT YOU SHORT. SO 01:53:47.248 --> 01:53:51.349 THEY CENSOR HIM, DON'T EVEN ALLOW HIM TO READ THE BOOK THAT 01:53:51.349 --> 01:53:56.190 THEY ALLOW IN THE— BECAUSE IT COULD BE OFFENSIVE TO PARENTS. 01:53:56.190 --> 01:54:02.772 YET THEY IGNORED WHAT OUGHT TO BE OFFENSIVE TO EVERY PERSON 01:54:02.772 --> 01:54:06.001 SITTING ON THE SCHOOL BOARD. THEY DON'T REGARD YOUR KIDS. 01:54:06.001 --> 01:54:10.842 THEY DON'T REGARD MEN. IT TAKES SOMEONE LIKE THE WIDOW, JOHN 01:54:10.842 --> 01:54:14.901 AMANCHUKWU, TO STAND UP AND SAY, "EXCUSE ME. IF YOU CUT THE 01:54:14.901 --> 01:54:18.581 STREAM OFF, THERE IS A LAW IN YOUR STATE THAT SAYS YOU 01:54:18.581 --> 01:54:22.153 AUTOMATICALLY THEN HAVE TO TAKE THOSE BOOKS OUT." SHE DID IT 01:54:22.153 --> 01:54:28.400 ANYWAY, CUT THE STREAM OFF, AND SAT THERE AND ARGUED WITH HIM 01:54:28.400 --> 01:54:32.552 AND WOULDN'T EVEN LET HIM HAVE HIS TIME. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE UP 01:54:32.552 --> 01:54:38.822 AGAINST. SOME PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE THEY GOT A LITTLE BIT OF 01:54:38.822 --> 01:54:44.240 AUTHORITY THAT THEY CAN KICK YOU AROUND, YOUR GOD AROUND, THE 01:54:44.240 --> 01:54:48.810 CHURCH AROUND, YOUR KIDS, BECAUSE AIN'T NOBODY BRINGING 01:54:48.810 --> 01:54:52.271 HOLY TROUBLE. AIN'T NOBODY SHOWING UP AND SAYING, NO, NOT 01:54:52.271 --> 01:54:56.331 ON MY WATCH, NOT IN MY SCHOOL, NOT IN MY BATHROOM, NOT IN MY 01:54:56.331 --> 01:55:02.812 SPORTS, NOT IN MY COUNTRY, NOT IN MY CITY, I AIN'T PUTTING 01:55:02.812 --> 01:55:08.147 UP WITH THIS. NOT TO MY GOD. HE'S A FATHER. HE AIN'T IGNORING 01:55:08.147 --> 01:55:14.095 WHAT'S GOING ON WITH KIDS, AND NEITHER AM I. AND I TEXT HIM AND 01:55:14.095 --> 01:55:18.605 I SAID, JOHN, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, I AM DEEPLY STIRRED 01:55:18.605 --> 01:55:23.371 IN MY SPIRIT BY WHAT I JUST SAW. AND HE TEXTS ME IMMEDIATELY 01:55:23.371 --> 01:55:25.172 BACK, AND I SAID, MAN, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW SOMETHING. 01:55:26.823 --> 01:55:31.210 I SAID, IT'S WHY I DO WHAT I DO WITH CHILDREN'S BOOKS. AND YET I 01:55:31.210 --> 01:55:35.849 GOTTA FIGHT TO GET PEOPLE TO FINANCE AND HELP ME PUT 01:55:35.849 --> 01:55:39.781 WHOLESOME MATERIAL. AND LET'S FACE IT, A LOT OF THE CHRISTIAN 01:55:39.781 --> 01:55:44.051 ACTING MOVIES, I WOULDN'T PAY FOR IT EITHER, 'CAUSE IT HASN'T 01:55:44.051 --> 01:55:48.850 BEEN THAT GOOD. BUT WHAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT, WHEN I'VE GOT MAJOR 01:55:48.850 --> 01:55:52.783 DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES THAT ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING, WE 01:55:52.783 --> 01:55:56.505 AIN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, LIKE THIS, AND THEN I GOT TO PAY 01:55:56.505 --> 01:56:00.121 FOR IT AND COME UP WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND TRY TO FIGURE IT 01:56:00.121 --> 01:56:05.623 OUT WHILE THE CHURCH JUST SITS BACK AND LETS GARBAGE— BECAUSE 01:56:05.623 --> 01:56:10.491 AIN'T NOBODY TROUBLING NOTHING. I JUST DON'T WANT TO CAUSE ANY 01:56:10.491 --> 01:56:18.759 TROUBLE, SO I HIDE MY AMERICAN FLAG. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO 01:56:18.759 --> 01:56:22.586 KNOW WHAT CHURCH I GO IN, THAT YOU'RE MY PASTOR HANK, IT WILL 01:56:22.586 --> 01:56:32.870 CAUSE TOO MUCH TROUBLE. LISTEN, WHAT Y'ALL DON'T UNDERSTAND IS 01:56:32.870 --> 01:56:39.420 THOSE WHO ARE ON THE FRONT LINES MAKING HOLY TROUBLE AGAINST THE 01:56:39.420 --> 01:56:42.908 FORCES OF DARKNESS AND EVIL FORCES, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE 01:56:42.908 --> 01:56:49.390 LEVEL OF TROUBLE THAT STIRS UP. YOU KNOW HOW I WISH THAT I COULD 01:56:49.390 --> 01:56:53.094 TYPE MY NAME IN? PEOPLE JUST WANTING TO GO TO CHURCH AND 01:56:53.094 --> 01:56:56.489 SEEING WHAT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH IS ABOUT AND WHAT THIS PASTOR IS 01:56:56.489 --> 01:57:02.089 ABOUT. NO, THEY GOTTA FILTER THROUGH THE LIARS, THE IMMORAL 01:57:02.089 --> 01:57:09.630 PERVERTS, THE INJUSTICE, AND THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL 01:57:09.630 --> 01:57:15.576 TARNISH YOUR NAME. ALL IN THE NAME OF FALSEHOOD, INJUSTICE, 01:57:18.823 --> 01:57:22.141 BECAUSE THIS PREACHER DECIDED TO CAUSE A LITTLE HOLY TROUBLE AND 01:57:22.141 --> 01:57:24.939 SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT GOING TO BE PUSHED BACK. I'M NOT 01:57:24.939 --> 01:57:29.785 GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO DO THIS TO US AND TO OUR KIDS. OKAY, WHEN 01:57:29.785 --> 01:57:33.553 COVID CAME AND I SAID, BOY, I GOT PUSHED BACK ON THAT ONE. YOU 01:57:33.553 --> 01:57:36.637 KNOW, THIS WHOLE MASK THING IS A LIE. AND THEN THE GUY WHO TOLD 01:57:36.637 --> 01:57:39.606 YOU TO WEAR IT COMES OUT AND SAYS, THIS THAT'S A LIE. YEAH, 01:57:39.606 --> 01:57:43.799 HE AIN'T HAD NO TROUBLE YET. HE NEEDS TO GET IN TROUBLE. AND 01:57:43.799 --> 01:57:47.640 THEN FORCING YOU TO GET THE JAB OR THEY'LL FIRE YOU.

WHAT I SAID 01:58:06.677 --> 01:58:11.291 IS MAKE SURE YOU INVESTIGATE. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T JUST ALLOW 01:58:11.291 --> 01:58:14.703 SOMEBODY TO FORCE SOMETHING ON YOU IN THE NAME OF MANDATES THAT 01:58:14.703 --> 01:58:21.462 ISN'T LAW. BUT BOY, THE TROUBLE.

ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE? YOU 01:58:33.550 --> 01:58:39.326 KNOW, THE BIBLE DOES SAY COWARDS HAVE THEIR PLACE. COME ON, LET'S 01:58:39.326 --> 01:58:45.201 BE BIBLICAL. COME ON, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? COWARDS HAVE 01:58:45.201 --> 01:58:49.056 THEIR PLACE WHERE? THAT'S WHAT JESUS THINKS OF COWARDNESS. 01:58:51.747 --> 01:58:54.021 WE'VE GOT TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE COWARD BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT 01:58:54.021 --> 01:58:56.457 LIKE THAT WIDOW. THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEAK UP. THEY DON'T WANT TO 01:58:56.457 --> 01:58:59.620 INFRINGE ON THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT THEIR OWN LIFE AT JEOPARDY. 01:59:02.631 --> 01:59:07.245 THEN WHAT ARE WE SAYING THAT WE ARE THE CHURCH FOR? I MEAN, WHY 01:59:07.245 --> 01:59:10.373 ARE WE EVEN HAVING TO HAVE A SUNDAY IN AMERICA WHEN WE'RE A 01:59:10.373 --> 01:59:13.856 CHRISTIAN NATION, GO BACK TO CHURCH? WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER 01:59:13.856 --> 01:59:20.304 LEFT IT. AND I'M NOT PUTTING ANYBODY ON BLAST. IF YOU HAVEN'T 01:59:20.304 --> 01:59:22.560 BEEN TO CHURCH FOR A WHILE, LISTEN, THERE ARE SOME BENEFITS. 01:59:22.560 --> 01:59:25.254 THERE'S SOME BAD PREACHERS. AND THERE'S SOME CHURCHES I WOULDN'T 01:59:25.254 --> 01:59:27.899 STEP IN THEIR DOOR EITHER. AND MAYBE IT'S THAT YOU JUST GOT 01:59:27.899 --> 01:59:32.320 DISILLUSIONED. YOU GOT HURT. YOU BELIEVED IN THAT PASTOR, BUT 01:59:32.320 --> 01:59:35.510 HE'S OFF RUNNING WITH ALL OF HIS ASSISTANTS. ASSISTING THEM IN 01:59:35.510 --> 01:59:36.551 THEIR SEXUAL NEEDS. 01:59:38.951 --> 01:59:39.864 STEALING. 01:59:41.431 --> 01:59:44.994 WELL, THAT AIN'T THIS CHURCH. AND THAT AIN'T THIS PASTOR. AND 01:59:44.994 --> 01:59:49.224 IT AIN'T MOST CHURCHES. AND IT AIN'T MOST PASTORS. NO MATTER. 01:59:49.224 --> 01:59:53.319 AND BY THE WAY, IT AIN'T ALL MEGACHURCHES. I'VE TRAVELED FOR 01:59:53.319 --> 01:59:58.056 40 YEARS, AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU, MOST OF THE MEGACHURCHES I 01:59:58.056 --> 02:00:02.134 PREACHED IN HAD THEIR STUFF IN ORDER. IT WAS THE LITTLE ONES 02:00:02.134 --> 02:00:07.352 WHERE THE BISHOP WAS THE BISHOP WHO HAD EXTRACURRICULAR RIGHTS 02:00:07.352 --> 02:00:11.498 AS BISHOP TO BE MARRIED TO HIS WIFE 02:00:11.841 --> 02:00:14.270 BUT TO RUN WITH THE LADIES OF THE HOUSE. 02:00:16.997 --> 02:00:20.854 AND TO SIT THERE WHILE YOU GOT TO WEAR HARD HATS TO COME TO 02:00:20.854 --> 02:00:24.905 CHURCH BECAUSE THE CEILING TILE'S ABOUT READY TO CAVE IN, 02:00:24.905 --> 02:00:32.411 WHILE HE'S RAISING MONEY FOR HIS HOUSE AND HE'S ONLY GOT 50 02:00:32.411 --> 02:00:38.749 PEOPLE, AND YET HE'S TRYING TO BUILD A MULTI-WHATEVER. AND BY 02:00:38.749 --> 02:00:44.310 THE WAY, WE THINK THAT PREACHERS SHOULD NEVER GET BLESSED. I 02:00:44.310 --> 02:00:49.732 NEVER BRING AN INDICTMENT AGAINST A SMALL OR LARGE CHURCH 02:00:51.069 --> 02:00:54.837 IF GOD BLESSES THEIR PASTOR AND BLESSES THEIR CONGREGATIONS. 02:00:54.837 --> 02:01:00.174 IT'S WHEN IT'S DONE WRONG. IT'S WHEN IT'S LIKE ELI STEALING FROM 02:01:00.174 --> 02:01:10.961 THE PEOPLE, MANIPULATING FUNDS, MANIPULATING THE PEOPLE, THAT IT 02:01:10.961 --> 02:01:14.256 BECOMES A PROBLEM. IT'S NEVER A PROBLEM WHEN GOD SAID WHAT HE 02:01:14.256 --> 02:01:16.926 SAID HE WOULD DO, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE COVENANT OF 02:01:16.926 --> 02:01:22.632 ABRAHAM. I'LL BLESS YOU, I'LL MAKE YOU RICH. YOU HAVE A RIGHT 02:01:22.632 --> 02:01:30.608 TO THAT SAME BLESSING. IT'S WRONG WHEN IT'S DONE WRONG, AND 02:01:30.608 --> 02:01:36.310 GOD DEEP WERE MISTREATED IN YOUR PROCESS, WHERE IT WASN'T THE 02:01:36.310 --> 02:01:41.523 BLESSING, IT WAS MANIPULATION. YOU ALL DID WANT ME TO BE YOUR 02:01:41.523 --> 02:01:49.826 PASTOR TODAY. I CAN FEEL IT. SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO PRAY A 02:01:49.826 --> 02:01:51.922 PRAYER. PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN COME UP NEXT TO ME. I WANT 02:01:51.922 --> 02:01:54.469 EVERYBODY TO STAY PUT REAL QUICK. I'M GOING TO END THIS. 02:01:55.487 --> 02:01:59.877 HEAVENLY FATHER, WE HONOR YOU TODAY. WE THANK YOU, FATHER. YOU 02:01:59.877 --> 02:02:03.546 TOOK THIS WORD A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, BUT IT WAS, I 02:02:03.546 --> 02:02:06.110 BELIEVE, RIGHT FROM YOUR HEART, WHAT IS ON YOUR HEART, 02:02:06.110 --> 02:02:09.732 ESPECIALLY FOR THIS TIME AS OUR COUNTRY— WE'RE ONLY JUST A FEW 02:02:09.732 --> 02:02:13.802 DAYS AWAY FROM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS OF US WHO 02:02:13.802 --> 02:02:17.744 REPRESENT WHAT THAT WIDOW REPRESENTED. SOMEONE WHO WAS 02:02:17.744 --> 02:02:22.440 WILLING TO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING 02:02:22.440 --> 02:02:26.003 WERE WILLING TO LIFT UP THEIR VOICE AND CONTINUE TO BE 02:02:26.003 --> 02:02:31.060 PERSISTENT UNTIL THEY SEE AND SAW CHANGE. LORD, I PRAY THAT 02:02:31.060 --> 02:02:36.117 YOUR CHURCH WOULD ARISE ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. I PRAY 02:02:36.117 --> 02:02:40.114 THAT NOT ONLY WOULD IT BE RECORD SUNDAY WITH PEOPLE COMING TO THE 02:02:40.114 --> 02:02:43.822 HOUSE OF THE LORD, BUT I PRAY A MONTH FROM NOW THAT IT'LL STILL 02:02:43.822 --> 02:02:46.953 BE RECORD SUNDAY OF PEOPLE— THEY DIDN'T JUST COME TO CHURCH, THEY 02:02:46.953 --> 02:02:50.083 STAYED IN CHURCH. YES. AND I AM ASKING THAT YOU WOULD RAISE UP 02:02:50.083 --> 02:02:56.092 YOUR CHURCH, LORD, TO HAVE THE SAME KIND OF FIGHTING SPIRIT AND 02:02:56.092 --> 02:03:00.955 HEART THAT OUR SAVIOR DID. WHEN THEY BEAT HIM, LIED ABOUT HIM, 02:03:00.955 --> 02:03:05.547 STRUCK HIM OVER THE HEAD, AND THEN CRUCIFIED HIM, HE NOT ONCE 02:03:05.547 --> 02:03:11.033 CAVED. HE NOT ONCE BLAMED SOMEONE. HE STOOD UP SO THAT, 02:03:11.033 --> 02:03:15.613 LORD, WE CAN BE THE BENEFICIARY OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HE PAID 02:03:15.613 --> 02:03:22.678 FOR. LORD, IN THE SAME WAY OVER OUR COUNTRY, WE DON'T FORGET NOT 02:03:22.678 --> 02:03:26.532 ONLY OUR LORD WHO WENT BEFORE US. GOD, WE REMEMBER ALL OF 02:03:26.532 --> 02:03:30.546 THOSE WHO HAVE STOOD AND HAVE FOUGHT SO THAT WE COULD LIVE IN 02:03:30.546 --> 02:03:34.223 THIS COUNTRY, SO THAT WE COULD HAVE RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES AND 02:03:34.223 --> 02:03:39.361 FREEDOMS, AND THAT WHAT JESUS FOUGHT FOR AND GAVE HIS LIFE 02:03:39.361 --> 02:03:42.927 WILLINGLY FOR, LORD, IS NOT IN NOT IN VAIN. WE CHOOSE AS YOUR 02:03:42.927 --> 02:03:49.077 PEOPLE TO STAND AT THIS TIME IN JESUS' NAME. NOW, PASTOR DOUG, 02:03:49.077 --> 02:03:53.249 THERE'S PEOPLE HERE, AND PERHAPS THEY HAVE NEVER ASKED JESUS TO 02:03:53.249 --> 02:03:56.727 COME INTO THEIR HEART. THIS IS PROBABLY THE— WELL, IT IS THE 02:03:56.727 --> 02:04:00.122 GREATEST DECISION. SO, PASTOR DOUG, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT 02:04:00.122 --> 02:04:03.036 THESE PEOPLE. I'M GOING TO STAND RIGHT HERE WITH PASTOR DOUG 02:04:03.036 --> 02:04:07.474 BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A BOLD GENERATION RIGHT NOW. WE'VE GOT 02:04:07.474 --> 02:04:11.419 PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO RAISE THEIR HANDS AND SAY ALL KINDS OF 02:04:11.419 --> 02:04:17.737 STUFF, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY SUPPORT EVIL. ARE YOU WILLING TO 02:04:17.737 --> 02:04:20.366 RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I WANT TO STAND NOT 02:04:20.366 --> 02:04:21.713 ONLY FOR JESUS CHRIST, BUT I WANT TO 02:04:21.713 --> 02:04:22.766 COMMIT MY WHOLE LIFE TO HIM? 02:04:23.349 --> 02:04:26.556 SO, PASTOR DOUG, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE HERE AND YOU'VE NEVER 02:04:26.556 --> 02:04:30.324 MADE A DECISION TO MAKE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE, 02:04:30.324 --> 02:04:34.077 AND YOU'VE HEARD SO MUCH TODAY, GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT HOW GOD 02:04:34.077 --> 02:04:37.865 WANTS TO BLESS YOU, AND HE HAS AN ABUNDANT PLAN FOR OUR LIVES, 02:04:37.865 --> 02:04:41.397 BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE. YOU KNOW, JESUS DOESN'T SEND 02:04:41.397 --> 02:04:45.330 ANYONE TO HELL. THERE'S ETERNITY. YOU CAN GO TO HEAVEN, 02:04:45.330 --> 02:04:48.862 YOU CAN GO TO HELL. JESUS DOESN'T SEND PEOPLE TO H***. WE 02:04:48.862 --> 02:04:54.304 SEND OURSELVES THERE WHEN WE DO NOT MAKE A CHOICE FOR JESUS. IN 02:04:54.304 --> 02:04:57.611 OTHER WORDS, THE BIBLE TELLS US WE HAVE FREE CHOICE. YOU HAVE TO 02:04:57.611 --> 02:05:02.985 DECIDE, AND YOU CAN DECIDE YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY TODAY. TODAY YOU 02:05:02.985 --> 02:05:06.334 CAN MAKE THAT CHOICE, AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO LEAVE THIS 02:05:06.334 --> 02:05:09.314 PLACE WITHOUT THAT OPPORTUNITY. I KNOW WE HAVE GUESTS HERE 02:05:09.314 --> 02:05:13.385 TODAY, AND MAYBE YOU'VE NEVER MADE A CHOICE FOR JESUS CHRIST. 02:05:13.385 --> 02:05:17.567 YOU CAN DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE JUST BY CHOOSING HIM. IT STARTS 02:05:17.567 --> 02:05:21.734 WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER. THE BIBLE TELLS US IN ROMANS CHAPTER 10 02:05:21.734 --> 02:05:25.724 THAT IF WE BELIEVE AND CONFESS, WE CAN MAKE HIM THE LORD OF OUR 02:05:25.724 --> 02:05:30.376 LIFE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THINGS HAPPEN TO PEOPLE, AND IT 02:05:30.376 --> 02:05:33.120 CAN HAPPEN SUDDENLY. JUST THIS PAST WEEK, THERE WAS A 02:05:33.120 --> 02:05:37.839 46-YEAR-OLD MAN DRIVING IN A VAN UP TOWARDS HIGHWAY 75 TOWARDS 02:05:37.839 --> 02:05:40.487 THE AIRPORT. HE WENT OFF INTO THE DITCH AND IT KILLED HIM. 02:05:41.771 --> 02:05:44.258 WHEN HE GOT UP AND GOT IN THAT VAN THAT DAY, I HAVE A FEELING 02:05:44.258 --> 02:05:47.869 HE HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE HIS LAST DAY ON EARTH. BUT YOU KNOW 02:05:47.869 --> 02:05:51.095 WHAT? YOU CAN MAKE A CHOICE TODAY THAT CAN DETERMINE YOUR 02:05:51.095 --> 02:05:53.968 ETERNAL SALVATION, WHETHER OR NOT WHETHER OR NOT YOU END UP 02:05:53.968 --> 02:05:58.559 WITH HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY OR IN A PLACE THAT THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'LL 02:05:58.559 --> 02:06:02.091 BE SEPARATED FROM GOD FOREVER. IT'S CALLED HELL. NO ONE WANTS 02:06:02.091 --> 02:06:06.104 TO GO THERE. IT'S FOR ETERNITY. IF YOU GO TO HELL, THERE'S NO 02:06:06.104 --> 02:06:09.636 PAROLE BOARD THERE. YOU CAN'T GET OUT. YOU CAN'T ESCAPE. SO 02:06:09.636 --> 02:06:15.319 MAKE A CHOICE FOR JESUS. MAKE A CHOICE TODAY. YOU CAN SECURE 02:06:15.319 --> 02:06:18.947 YOUR SALVATION AND YOU CAN KNOW YOU HAVE A PATH, AND THEN HE HAS 02:06:18.947 --> 02:06:22.239 AN ABUNDANT LIFE PASTOR WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE'LL GUIDE YOU, 02:06:22.239 --> 02:06:26.720 DIRECT YOU, BLESS YOU IF YOU WALK WITH HIM. THAT'S SO 02:06:26.720 --> 02:06:29.226 IMPORTANT. I'M GOING TO ASK EVERYONE IN THIS PLACE JUST TO 02:06:29.226 --> 02:06:32.759 BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME FOR A MOMENT. NO ONE LOOKING AROUND, 02:06:32.759 --> 02:06:36.759 BUT JUST FOCUS AND ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: IF I WAS TO LEAVE 02:06:36.759 --> 02:06:40.164 THIS EARTH TODAY ON AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING HAPPENED— YOU KNOW, 02:06:40.164 --> 02:06:43.922 WE ALL BELIEVE FOR LONG LIFE. GOD OFFERS THAT TO US AS 02:06:43.922 --> 02:06:49.540 CHRISTIANS. BUT SOMETHING CAN TAKE YOU OUT IN A MOMENT'S 02:06:49.540 --> 02:06:52.900 NOTICE, AND YOU NEED TO BE READY. AND IF THAT'S YOU TODAY 02:06:52.900 --> 02:06:56.720 AND YOU WOULD SAY, PASTOR DOUG, THAT'S ME, I WANT YOU TO PRAY 02:06:56.720 --> 02:06:58.920 FOR ME. IT STARTS WITH A PRAYER. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO 02:06:58.920 --> 02:07:01.080 SOMETHING VERY BOLD TODAY. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO RAISE YOUR 02:07:01.080 --> 02:07:03.500 HAND. I'M GOING TO COUNT TO 3. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO RAISE 02:07:03.500 --> 02:07:06.800 YOUR HAND AFTER I COUNT TO 3 AND BE BOLD. AND THEN I'M GOING TO 02:07:06.800 --> 02:07:09.940 PRAY FOR YOU, AND YOU'RE GOING TO SECURE YOUR PLACE IN ETERNITY 02:07:09.940 --> 02:07:13.060 WITH HIM. WHEN I COUNT TO 3, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO RAISE YOUR 02:07:13.060 --> 02:07:17.246 HAND QUICKLY. DON'T BE EMBARRASSED. GOD SEES YOUR HAND. 02:07:17.246 --> 02:07:23.572 I'LL SEE YOUR HAND, BUT NO ONE ELSE IS LOOKING AROUND. 1, 2, 3. 02:07:23.572 --> 02:07:25.900 RAISE YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW. HANDS UP ALL OVER THIS 02:07:25.900 --> 02:07:28.887 AUDITORIUM. IF YOU NEED JESUS, YOU WANT TO MAKE A DECISION FOR 02:07:28.887 --> 02:07:32.483 JESUS TODAY, YOU WANT HIM TO BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE, GET YOUR 02:07:32.483 --> 02:07:35.053 HANDS UP RIGHT NOW SO I CAN SEE THEM. THE LIGHTS ARE KIND OF 02:07:35.053 --> 02:07:38.200 BRIGHT, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SEE. I SEE A HAND OVER HERE. WHO 02:07:38.200 --> 02:07:42.535 ELSE? OTHER HANDS COMING UP. RIGHT OVER HERE THERE'S ONE. 02:07:42.535 --> 02:07:45.602 THERE'S MORE OVER HERE. OKAY, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO 02:07:45.602 --> 02:07:48.781 SOMETHING ELSE VERY BOLD. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO JUST STEP 02:07:48.781 --> 02:07:51.591 OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND COME RIGHT DOWN HERE IN FRONT OF ME NOW. 02:07:51.591 --> 02:07:54.802 EVERY TIME JESUS CALLED SOMEONE, HE CALLED THEM PUBLICLY. JUST 02:07:54.802 --> 02:07:57.066 STAND UP AND COME RIGHT DOWN HERE. WE'RE GOING TO PRAY A 02:07:57.066 --> 02:08:01.385 PRAYER TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A PLACE 02:08:01.385 --> 02:08:04.147 IN ETERNITY WITH JESUS. JUST TURN AROUND, MA'AM, AND LOOK AT 02:08:04.147 --> 02:08:08.707 ME. THANK YOU FOR COMING.
