UNDERSTANDING & ACCESSING JESUS’ UNDENIABLE HEALING POWER

Welcome to the Jonathan Shuttlesworth Podcast. To stay connected, go to revivaltoday.com. And now here is Evangelist Jonathan. I want you if you have your Bibles, open it with me to Exodus chapter 15. I want to talk about divine healing tonight out of the Bible. Let me see. Um let me see that pastor that I sent you. This is an assemblies of God church, and I'm not picking on the assemblies of God. If you stick around all week, I'll peek pick on everybody. I'm an equal opportunity offender. That's why California had me in. Everybody gets gets hit. So uh I do this because no one preached divine healing uh in America and in the church in Europe or anything. Uh there was a lot of stuff that got lost when you went from the book of Acts, where the Christians, the Bible says, studied the word themselves to make sure that the things that the apostles were preaching was true. Then it went to a point where the Bible was kept behind the pulpit only for the preacher to read. And uh you were told to stay out of it, actually. William Tyndale that tried to translate the Bible so other people could read it, they burned him at the stake. I I think they strangled him, then burned him at the stake, something like that. Something to extra make sure he knew they didn't like him. And so you see how God doesn't or how the devil knows he's in trouble if the word of God gets to the people. I shared something the other night that my mother attended Polish Catholic Church, and um her and her and her sisters, my cousin was here last night, uh, his mom, they went twice a week or twice a month, and nobody was born again. They did the masses in Polish, which my my grandfather spoke Polish, but they didn't even do it in the speakable Polish. They did it in like antiquated, like a Latin type of Polish. No one understood. You just heard heard what they said. There was zero understanding of the word of God. Put a scripture up on the screen. 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 19. 2 Peter 1, 19. I'll do new living and then I'll do King James. Because of that experience, we we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place until the day dawns, and Christ, the morning star, shines in your hearts. Let me see, King James. We have also a more sure word of prophecy. It's talking about your Bible there. Where until you whereunto you do well to take heed and listen to it, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the daydone and the day star arise in your heart. Now, the what say with me, God's word carries God's power. I feel sorry for people that have been in church, and especially ministers, you know. I actually, it was I think it hurt the guy's feelings, but I wasn't saying it to be hurtful, it just was the correct response. He said, Um, I don't believe in healing. I said, if I had your ministry, I wouldn't believe in healing either. You know, because you you know, see, you guys like meanness. I I'm like you, I don't think it was that big a deal. His face kind of he looked hurt, so hopefully things are going well in therapy. I'll tell you what, if you're a therapist, we could hook up. I could send you some business. But I mean, I think of stuff like this. Let me see Ephesians 3.16. Ephesians 3.16. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man. Let me see verse 20. So when you have that might in your spirit, Ephesians 3.20. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power, where is it? In heaven? Where? In us. So again, if you believe that, or you're even if you're just finding out tonight, then you should change how you speak around. There shouldn't be any Lord be with me today. You do a lot better putting your hand on your belly and going, thank you, Jesus, that you're I live in you and you live in me. In him, in you I live and move and have my being. Can you say amen? So that power, the Bible says God's able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Um, let me see Acts 4. Uh no, I'll do another one. Do Acts 16 around verse 20. NLT. Uh go to 26. 25. Around midnight, Paul and Silas were what? Praying. Why are we getting like 9% participation? Paul and Silas were doing what? And singing hymns to God or praises unto God, and the other prisoners heard them. So it was loud. They weren't let's just sing, you know, it's it's close to midnight, and we're in prison. Let's be, let's use wisdom. They didn't use any wisdom. They were singing and giving pray uh uh praying and saying praises unto God. So when the Bible talks about that power that's released, the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man carries great power and produces wonderful results. And other prisoners heard them. 26. And suddenly there was a massive earthquake. What produced that earthquake? The power coming off of their prayer and praise. And so if it if it can rock a prison where the prison was shaken to its foundations, all the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner were knocked off. Now you're telling me that that prayer that they had, and by the way, when Paul taught on prayer uh in Ephesians, was he talking about, now listen, I know when I pray, stuff like that happens, but that's gonna die out as I die, so don't expect it. No, he was always trying to get across to you, just like Jesus. The same work that you see me do, you shall do in greater, for I go to the Father on your behalf. Ask anything you want in my name, and I will give it to you, that your joy may be full. So if that power can knock iron chains off of prisoners' wrists and open a door, how is it controversial that when someone prays for an 89-year-old woman that weighs 103 pounds, she falls over? So you feel like it can have an effect on iron, but not a tiny lady with osteoporosis? See? So then if people don't see something, they think it's strange. That must be of the devil. Anything that has power is of the devil, because God has no power and the devil has all the power. Because people get their belief from Hollywood instead of from the Bible. They go and watch movies that glorify the devil, haunted house, priest coming in holding a crucifix, scared out of his mind. Get out. And the priest is blasted out the door, and you think, oh, the devil's mighty. But when you read the Bible, you don't find out the devil's mighty, you find out the devil is defeated, and Jesus carries the power. And he gave that power to the church, which is his body. Now I was texted something that I was told not to please not share. But so if we could keep this here, and then if the national television audience, if everyone watching on Dish Network could just keep it to yourself, you can't tell me this and tell me not to tell anyone. I won't say what state. We got four churches right now in four different states, and we have prison ministry in all of them. And so uh I won't narrow down more than that. But I was preaching to the violent offenders, about 11 of them, and they told you you can't touch the prisoners. And I preached different that day. Um, I think almost everybody had already made a decision for Christ in that pod. So I preached out of Ephesians, and then I told about being seated with Christ. I basically preached like I'm preaching now. I talked to them like they were uh fourth-year Bible college students, and then had them ask questions. And I said, I want every one of you. I said, I can't, I'm not allowed to lay hands on you, so I want every one of you in your spare time, which you have a lot of. Thankfully, they laughed. I said, uh, I want you to take the book of Ephesians and read the whole thing this week. Well, I got contacted by a high up in the prison that they took their study time and sat at a table. And you need to spank that child or it's gonna keep acting up. Paddle that child. It needs discipline. Give it a time out. You're grounded. That child is grounded. So they took their time to study and read, and they told me as they were reading Ephesians, one of the guys fell out backwards out of his chair and hit the ground and started speaking in tongues. And they said it's the talk of the whole prison because the guards were there, nobody, and they know, you know, they know these guys aren't faking, there's no cameras. They pay these people to do that. Why would you pay? Hey, listen, after I'm gone. And they said they want to know when when the ministry's coming back, the guards have questions. Let me tell you something. This book carries power. We have a more sure word of prophecy that's like a light in a dark place. When you fill your life, now think of it, you can read it, but if you consume it and hide it into your heart, that what's the Old Testament equivalent of 2 Peter 19? Thy word have I hid in my heart that I uh might not sin against you. Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. It's like a light in the darkness. You go into a dark prison and you don't become more prisony, the prisony becomes more like you. The light breaks out. Part of what is resident in that light. What else is in the word? Uh Psalm 107, let me see, 17 to 20. NLT. Psalm 107, 17 to 20. Some were fools, they rebelled and suffered for their sins. That's another church. They couldn't stand the thought of food, and they were knocking on death's door. Lord helped, they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent his word and healed them. One translation says he sent his word and it healed them. The word carries healing. Let me uh uh and snatch them from the door of death. Let me see Proverbs 4, 20 to 22. God's word, the light that's in that word. You know, if you we're not doing a study on light, but remember when President Trump got made fun of heavily during COVID because he said they're gonna they have a way to like use light to cure to kill the virus? They said, what's this guy talking about? Then it came out like a year and a half later that light carries a purity and a disinfectant quality to it, and they're learning through technology how to clean things at an even greater level with light. Well, God is light, Jesus is the light, and the word is light. And so when you let it loose, it starts to clean up people's bodies, starts to clean up people's minds. You're getting cleaned from the inside out right now as you listen to the Bible in Jesus' name. My child, pay attention. Let me see, King James. Attend unto my words, for incline thine ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep them in the midst of thine heart. For what? And it's talking about the words, incline to the word, for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep that up. They are life, God's word is life to everyone that finds it, and health to all their flesh. Lift your hands all over this place. Receive health for your flesh today in Jesus' name. Can you say amen? This is from Louisiana. I want you to watch this, and I want you to watch my little girl. Um, this is what four years ago or three years ago? I think three. So she'd be ten. Yeah, she'd have been ten when this happened. So watch her, watch her face. As she's on the platform and listens to this testimony, I'm gonna tell you why I'm playing it in a second. Go ahead. Tell everybody your name, where you're from, and what transpired. My name is Bo Johnson. I'm from I live in Calvaluity, and I I'm a pastor in a church. Me and another brother, we take turns preaching on Sundays. But I had actually had been suffering an attack in my ministry because I believe what he believes, that God can heal. God can do anything. If you want to believe that God's heal heals, you're gonna you're gonna have, if you want to call it an attack. Now, what I consider an attack, I would consider like if the 82nd Airborne made it their mission to take me out. That's an attack. Some guy that doesn't believe what I believe that states it on Facebook. That's that guy can kiss off. I mean, we want to pray for we love everyone here at Truth and Triumph Christian Assembly. But I I don't care, you know, people people disagree. That's not that's not an attack, but for some people it is because they care about the person's opinion. And I'm sure in Bo's case, they had an unscriptural arrangement. They had two pastors in charge of the church. Well, that's not gonna work any more than having two fathers in a house or oh, sorry, I feel like it was in California. Let me use a different having one wheel on a car. Yeah, it doesn't offend anybody. Even the auto workers union's cool with it. So that doesn't work. And so the one guy didn't believe in healing, he made the mistake of starting to listen to me, and it stirred up. And I'll I'll tell you this, as somebody that went to Bible school, I don't think anybody, I don't care what denomination they're in, I would think it'd be very few people that feel a call to give their life in the ministry and don't have a stirring in them that God's gonna use them in a supernatural way, because he did that to everybody used in the Bible. And then people talk you out of it. God gets you surrounded with people in life that no, no, I know it says that. Let me tell you something. Anytime somebody's talking about the Bible and they say, I know it says that, um, Tessa, can you get the video from Check the News today? If you can't, NBD. But if if if you can find it, the lady say, preaching out of John 14, 6, saying that it doesn't mean Jesus is the only way to heaven. I'm telling you, if you take the Bible and you start cutting away at no, that's symbolic, and you give yourself permission to make whatever part symbolic that you want symbolic, you'll probably end up in hell because you're chipping away at the foundation. What have you noticed that as Pentecostal denominations got weak on prosperity? Let me see uh 2 Corinthians 8, 9. 2 Corinthians 8-9. You know the grace of our Lord Jesus, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that by his poverty he could make you rich. In context, is 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 about it it's about money. It's two offering chapters where Paul's writing to the church in Corinth and saying, listen, you guys live in a prosperous seacoast, and your offering was terrible. And these Macedonians are in a very poor place, and they gave great. You need a revelation on giving. And he tells them, you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that by his poverty he might make you rich. Meaning that among other things, not the only thing, but among other things, it's a blood doctrine. That's why I'm strong on it. That's not no, I believe God can bless you, but no, poverty is a curse. The Garden of Eden was abundant, the new Jerusalem will be abundant. When sin came, poverty came. When the blood of Jesus and when sin came, sickness came. When the blood of Jesus was shed, it didn't alleviate some of the curse, it broke all the power of the devil and broke all the branches off the tree in the lives of those that are in Christ. Can you say amen? Well, you start jerking with prosperity, next thing you know, you're jerking with healing. You know, no, not for today. And yes, God can heal, but you can't tell people that God will heal them. And then you start jerking. You can't get most churches now to even tell you that you can live free from sin. No, we how many we all sin every day. Every day we come up short. Really? Every day? Can't you at least just take a Saturday and sit home and watch TV? And lock the bad channels or whatever? Every day? So this athlete posted that. You know, that was his testimony. I'm a Christian, and I serve the Lord, and though I miss it every day. You do? Now I'm gonna tell you, people rate that kind of stuff. To me, that was code for. I like to sleep around on the road a little bit and drink with the buddies. And then if somebody tells you it's impossible to live holy, then you're not even gonna shoot to live holy. But if you see the target, it's in it's difficult to hit a small target, but it's impossible to hit a target you don't have. So if someone tells you you can't be blessed, you can't be healed, and you can't live in victory over sin, then you won't even try. And that's why most churches, how many of you are are are battling sin? How many of you need a break? Because no one's told them that you can live a different life. But I'm telling you in California this week, you can live different than the rest of the world. You can be the head and not the tail above and not beneath, blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. If you believe it, can you say amen? So they start messing with doctrine. You know, they mess with the blood. So that first it's prosperity, then it's healing, then it's victory over sin. Because the same blood, the same way I can have victory over sin, I can have victory over poverty. And thanks for four amenities. You bet let me tell you something, you better get on the pop, you better get on that revelation in California. You got people running for office, they're gonna jack the taxes up to 70%. I'd start searching around the scripture about how God can open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that's so great you won't have room enough to take it all in. That's what God's doing in this last hour of time. Revival is a reviving of God's people. To return to the word and know it's true, you can call it true, and you can have what the Bible says belongs to you. So you see from Bo's testimony, the devil can't stop the um the power of God's word. He can only get you to doubt it. Because faith mixed with unbelief is wrecked, believing and doubting nothing. Let me see, James 1:5. KJV. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given to him, just like with every other prayer scripture. It's not might or can. It shall be given. But now there's a caveat. It's like if you were reading this as a lawyer, this would be like the part of the contract you'd want to pay attention to because this voids five. But let him ask in faith. Nothing wavering. You can do NLT for this part, because nobody knows what wavering means. Even me, and I have a degree in theology. When you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone and don't waver. For a person with okay, go back to King James, because then it goosed that second part up. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed. Only it must be in faith that he asks, with no wavering, no hesitating, no doubting. This is the same verse in Amplified Classic. He must say, no hesitating. He must say, no doubting. When I drove to pray for that woman an hour away last night after service, if I go in and lay my hands on her and say, Lord, I we know you can heal, and we ask you to, but if it be your will, that was a waste of gasoline. If anything, she's gonna die quicker because it's unbelief. Faith begins where the will of God, I want you to say something with me. Trust me on this. Say, faith begins where the will of God is known. So once you settle that God wants you saved, I think maybe he can say, no, as long as it's maybe, you ain't getting saved. Let me ask you a question. This is one of the first discussions I ever had with Adolus back before we were even dating. She was on a missions trip that I was on, and uh we were seated by each other on the flight from, I think, Hawaii to Dallas. So we had a long time to talk. And she asked me questions about the Bible because I'd been preaching all week, and she had heard a slop, you know, just what most people hear about the Bible. It's like nothing. It's like 35 minutes on nothing. Half the time the guy's having like a one-man debate with himself. Jesus healed the man. Now, I'm not saying everybody can get healed, and some of you, it's like, hey, figure it out, would you? So she said, um, she said, I believe everything you preach about healing. She said, but why is it I had a friend, she said, this is coming back to me. And my friend really loved God and really believed that God was gonna heal her and kept saying, I know God's gonna heal me. I know, and the youth group had prayed for him and everything, and this is what gets people to back off of healing. They had one person that they prayed for that didn't get healed, so then they reinvent their whole theology to accommodate that failure instead of going by the Bible. And that's what she now she wasn't, but she said, So I I why wasn't she healed? And the Lord, the Holy Ghost, gave me the answer. You know how I knew? Because when I gave her the answer, I thought, man, that's a great answer. It's like I was listening to somebody else talk. And I said, and I'm gonna ask you this. What because people think, you know, my aunt kept saying, God's gonna heal me, God's gonna heal me. Let me ask you a question. If somebody If you, who make it me, I'll be the beggar. If I was out on the street, you were telling me about Jesus, and I said, No, I believe you. I believe one day God's gonna save me. I believe God's gonna save me. And I died, and that was the furthest I ever got in my confession. Where would I spend my eternity? Hell. Why? Because I popped it into the future, but I never took a time where I repented of sin now and said, Lord, the Bible says, I believe in my heart. You raise Jesus from the dead, I confess with my mouth. Jesus says, Lord, and I am saved. There has to come a time where you stop saying he's going to save you, and you say, Today I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior. Well, you know it works like that with everything else? It works like that with healing. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:1, now faith is. You can't pop it into the future. You have to take it. And I pray this Tuesday will be like that for you. Enough is enough. Today I'm taking what the Bible says belongs to me. Can you say amen? Yeah, and that that clicked for a doll, since she must have liked the answer so much, she married me. Um, where was my scripture ahead up? John James 1, 6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering, for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven in the wind and tossed. Let not that man think that he shall receive anything. So there's a way to conduct yourself that guarantees that none of your prayers will get answered. Which is why the average church has been praying for the sick every Sunday and can't point to one thing that's ever happened. Because their prayer is not settled in the word of God. Lord, if it be your will. If means I'm not sure. You know, if I say uh um I'm having a party for Camila, and if if Michael comes, Pastor Michael comes, I'm gonna sit him here. That means I'm not sure he's coming. But then what Pastor Michael told me, I'm coming to Camila's birthday party. I'll be there. And I still said, if he comes, what now at this point? What am I saying? I don't believe him for whatever reason. He's unreliable, and so you can't trust that guy. And so I want to talk that way about Pastor Michael, but I definitely want to talk that way about Jesus. If Jesus told you something in the word, brother, you can take that, not take it to the bank, you can bank your eternal soul on that word. The grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever. Let not that man expect to receive anything from the Lord. Verse 8: a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Double-mindedness, talking about that you've not made up your mind on salvation, victory over sin. No, I think there's a lot of truth in what he says. That's called double-minded. Because you also think there's not. So you have to pick a side. I'm talking to people that watch me on YouTube, preachers that watch me all the time. You're like Nicodemus at night coming to Jesus. You never would tell anyone you watch me, but you watch because you won't pick a side. You won't show up at the meeting, but you watch every night. I'd come over on the winning side. I'd come over on the healing side. I'd come over on the miracle side. I'd come over on the blessing side. The life is in faith in God's word. Let me see, uh, let me see the John 14, 6 lady. Now, when you hear this, I'm showing you that if you start taking peace out of the Bible before it's done, you will be one screwed-up individual, like this lady is. And and you think about it. Likely, there was a time where she was very called into the ministry, and then I don't know what happened. And this isn't one church. You could hear this in a zillion churches on Sunday in America. Go ahead. I am the way and the truth and the life. And here's the kicker no one comes to the Father except through me. Now, for centuries, for millennia, Christians have used those words as a proof text to be do kind of all kinds of awful things in the world, to punish people for not being Christian or not being their version of Christian, to punish or condemn people for all kinds of beautiful diversity that we see in the world. I just want to point out there's not a shred of diversity in that church. Keep going. Well, not to bless the world, but to bless all kinds of awful things have come and just little. Now, here's the thing: before we even dive in, we have to get one thing straight. Jesus did not come into this world to preach and to teach a my way or the highway kind of religion. Absolutely not. And in every other one of the gospels, people come to Jesus and they ask him point blank, teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? And in the gospel of Mark, Jesus' answer is this follow the Ten Commandments, love God, be an ethical person, do the right thing. Where the person who's asking, How do I inherit eternal life? follows up and says, Well, who is my neighbor? And he says, the person who is on the way to eternal life, the person who has got it, who loves God and loves their neighbor, it can even be a Samaritan, somebody who is not of our religion, not of our tribe, not of our ethnicity, and worships God in a completely different way. That person can inherit eternal life. So again, to make a claim that Jesus in the Gospel of John is now preaching and teaching this radically different message that you have to follow God in a certain way, you have to say the Jesus prayer just like this. You have to be part of our tribe, or you have to be part of our faith, or you have to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior, or you won't get into the kingdom of heaven. Makes no sense when you look at it in light of this consistent character of Jesus. Jump into my hands, Jesus is saying, look into my eyes. I am the way into this pool. And we as Christians get to jump, get to leap, not because it is an exclusive experience, but because it's authentic, because it is true alongside other truths in the world. And so this is my my heart and my hope for you. That when you encounter this scripture, and maybe you'll encounter some Christians. I just want to say, not that it's important. I don't know if this lady's running a sweatshop at that church during the week. That's a lot of knitwear in the back. Oh, you gotta like chain you to the radiator and make you make blankets. I was just wondering. I'm also curious how many subaros there are on the parking lot. Keep going. Christians who think very differently about it. You'll be able to explain to them and help them understand that anytime you're talking about the Gospel of John, and especially anytime you're talking about a conversation with Thomas, Jesus is not to be taken literally, but metaphysically. There you go. Now, there's the and I'm not a I'm I'm playing that as an example. I'm not again, I don't even know who she is or where she, yeah. No, I do know where she pastors. It's in Walpole, Massachusetts, because it said on the thing. I'm not again, I've known about this stuff for a long time. It doesn't bother me. That's how it is. But then now it creeps in. This is an assemblies of God church, and what she said about Christ as Messiah is no different what she did than what this guy's gonna do with healing. And notice there's no Bible. How many verses have we read already? And I I know you probably think I'm halfway done, but I'm just I'm not I'm in the hello part. How many scriptures do you do you think we've read? Seven? Timothy, until I get there, focus on reading the scriptures to the people. You, if you go to a church where they read one scripture and then just give their thoughts like that, I would plug in to this church. I'd come to truth and triumph where you have a pastor that's committed not to preaching his own thoughts, not to make the Bible load up with what happened to him. You should thank God for a pastor that obeys what Timothy said. Preach the word. Can you find me in the Amplified? A time is coming where people will no longer um listen to right teaching. But we'll will gather on Amplified Classic. 2 Timothy, it's either chapter 3 or 4. It could be wrong. Might be 1 Timothy. People will gather unto themselves teachers who will tell them what their itching ears want to hear. I want you to see it. And I want you to see it in the Amplified Classic. Because it literally describes our generation. Second Timothy 4, 3. Let me see two. Two's preach the word, I think. Timothy. Herald and preach the word. Keep your sense of urgency. Can you do me a favor, Tessa? Can you find an old me preaching on faith? I'm wearing a gray suit that's like one size too big at Adolis' home church back then, preaching on faith. It's an old, one of our oldest YouTube videos. And I just want to show you how little's changed, except I weigh 35 more pounds, probably now. And it was 45, and then Adolis started injecting some stuff in my belly. I don't ask questions, I just lift my shirt and eat less. Yeah, I was about three pounds away from needing a whole new wardrobe. So I thought we gotta do something. So um I want you to see how I don't know how many years ago that is, 2011, 15 years ago. There's no change. I preach, if you heard me preach four years ago, or you heard me preach 20 years ago, or you hear me preach tonight. I'm not preaching anything different. I don't have an encounter with uh the devil or an angel before every service to give me something new to preach. I've stayed on preaching and telling my generation to believe the Bible, and in believing the Bible, receive the power that comes from the Bible. And God blesses that. Just like Billy Graham. If you heard him preach in the 50s, he was telling you to come to the altar tonight and give your life to Jesus Christ. And if you heard him preach at 95, he was calling people to come to Christ. When I say Billy Graham, you think Salvation. When I say Oral Roberts, you think when I say Kenneth Hagin, you think faith. So there should be a message attached to you as a preacher that's your main message. I didn't get right. I think he meant it as an insult, but I was like, mission accomplished. He said, there's no use going to hear Jonathan preach. All he does is preach on uh healing and blessing and faith and wraps it in a different skin every night. Well, if that was an insult, that's actually my what I mission accomplished. Because healing matters and blessing matters, and faith matters, and I'm not getting on a new message every night. I'm telling my generation, you can believe God's word. When you believe God's word, it'll give you victory over sin, it'll heal your body, and it'll give you an overflowing cup to be a blessing to your world. Harold and preach the word. Not take a verse and give thoughts. It would say, preach the word. Harold and preach the word. Keep your sense of urgency. That's another. If you don't preach the word, you don't have what this. I'll tell you, man, when you preach with urgency, like this is how I was talking in prison, just no microphone. My one of the people that was with me told me there's three guys that are, it was all violent offenders, but these guys were like extra violent. The person said they come and we don't even know why they come, because they want to participate, they just look down. And then when I was preaching, they were nervous because you look nuts. Why is this man not afraid of us? And I'm starting to become afraid of him. Like how many of you feel right now? I have the only minister where people argue over who gets to sit in the back. I don't, I don't, I'll take the seat of honor at the back. Yeah, urgency. They can tell you're not goofing off. Then the next group comes in from whatever church, hello guys, we can just share the word. When I used to go to prison on the thumb, the one guy said, Why is your church different than the other churches that come in? So, what do you mean? I don't know. They're using the Bible, you guys are saying the same thing, but in another way, it doesn't even feel like it's the same religion. I'll tell you what it is: it's the word and the Holy Ghost. It puts an urgency in you. Can you say amen? Harold and preach the word. Hallelujah. Keep your sense of urgency. How are you doing back there, Tess? Still looking? You want another few seconds? I'll just check him. I'm just playing to show you. I'm the same. I haven't changed and I won't change. Same wife. Praise God forever and ever. Popping ahead. Life is not built on his word. Every priest, the Pope, everybody in the Vatican, everybody in the Pentecostal church, everybody in the Baptist church could lift you up in prayer for a solid week, but when that storm comes, your house is gonna crash. Some of you young people that are here, you have mothers and fathers like that. Nothing ever works right. They're under a curse, they are out from under the protection of God. And that enemy, the devil, that comes to steal, kill, and destroy, there is nothing to rebuff his attack. That is why, in this day and age, more than ever before, it is important to have a covenant household that's under the protection of God because you know the Lord is your protector in this wicked world. See what I got in my hand besides the microphone. For the scriptures say, cursed is everyone who doesn't observe and obey all the commands that are written in God's book of the law. So it is clear. No one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the scriptures say the just shall live by faith. This way of faith is very different from the way of the law, which says it is by obeying the law that a person has life. Now, please key in on these scriptures. What did Paul preach? Not say I think I'm gonna get saved and join the church, but say I don't have to be crippled anymore. Verse 13. But Christ has redeemed us. It has redeemed us. But I know God, Jesus is gonna make a way for me. No, he's not. He already made a way for you. Before the foundations of the earth, before you were ever born, God sent his son Jesus Christ to redeem. If you have a King James, hath redeemed us, has rescued us from all the curse of the law. For it is written, Cursed is everyone that is hung on a tree. Verse 14. That's the blessing. That's the blessing of Abraham. Through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. You will miss the entirety of its power. If it's in your Bible, it's the right answer. Christ has redeemed us from what? The curse of what? The law. If it says we've been redeemed from the curse of the law, but you don't know what the curse of the law is, then it does you no good. I've been redeemed from the curse of the law. What is the curse of the law? I'm not sure. Well, then you have no basis, no ground to stand on of what you've been redeemed from. But when you know what Jesus rescued you from. You know what you can take a stand against in life, on the authority of God's word and the active redemption of Jesus Christ. I mean, I want you to think of this before we even read what the curse of the law is. When Jesus died. And I'm telling that that's in Massachusetts. That's in Whalen, Massachusetts, near where that lady, a couple exits from where that lady that was preaching, pastors. That's New England people. And back then, I would preach two and a half or three hours. I'd wear them down. I'd wear them down until people were like, all right, I believe in healing. Just please be quiet. I just keep going one scripture after another scripture till I win and you lose. So I felt like I made it. And you know what? I was listening to that message one time, and the way I talked, because I had found that including it in that, included in that redemption from the curse of the law was not just sickness. The majority of the curse of the law was poverty, scarcity, and lack. You should have heard the stuff I said. If you think I sound bragging about the blessing of God now, you should have heard me when I was broke. I sounded richer then than I sound now. Because once I saw it in the Bible, I saw not I'm gonna be rich. The blessing of the Lord has made me rich, and that's no sorrow. We should find it one. Tessa, if you can find it anywhere, as far back as you can, not for tonight, but I mean just go on a hunt. I I found that scripture where it said, you'll inhabit homes that you did not build, furnished with goods that you did not buy. And I said several times, years ago, living in a tiny apartment, somebody's building a house right now, and they think it's for them, but it's actually for me. And that's exactly what happened. We live in a house, not that's debt-free. We never had any debt to be free from. The builder gave us the house and gave us money for furniture. Just what the Bible says. Because if you'll endure the stares and the spirks and the whatever they do in this world to try to make you feel like an idiot for believing the Bible, let me tell you something. One day that lady and her church will be gone. One day every Republican and Democrat will be gone. But the word of God is forever. The grass withers and the flower fades. But you can put your life on this book. Can you say amen? And then when you preach it, there's a demonstration of it. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. Never waver. That's what got me on that. James 1. Don't be double-minded. Settle it and stay with it. I didn't do that. That was 15 years ago. The house came two years ago. The plane came a year before that. I haven't preached this long time. I don't have anything that Jesse New Planet has. Yeah, I guess it doesn't work. Yep. That's how the enemy. If it would have worked, it would have worked by now. Why is it taking so long? Brother Jonathan, we've been tithing and sewing, um, and we haven't seen the breakthrough. Stop timing God. You're not his boss. Do what the word says, and his word is sure to come to pass in your life. Hallelujah. Man, I feel faith in this room. I feel power in this room. I feel a room full of overcomers. 2 Timothy 4, 3. Preach, everybody say, preach the word. For the time is coming, that's now. 3. Oh yeah, no, you know what? Two's good. Keep your sense of urgency. Stand by, be at hand, and ready. Whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether you're welcome or unwelcome. I wasn't welcome at that church. They were dead quiet, wouldn't answer any of my questions. And I listen to people on live stream, they'll start off their message on fire, and the crowd beats them by like 15 or 20 minutes. And by the end, it's and so as we as we close tonight in. They won. They like you look like a guy in the eighth, you look like um uh uh who fought who fought Floyd Mayweather that was a UFC fighter? McGregor. And remember Floyd let him punch himself out, and he was wailing away, and then like round seven or whatever, he just didn't have it anymore, and then Floyd took him out. That's what a lot of preachers are like. They come out swinging, and the crowd takes all their blows and doesn't go down, and then they give up. Keep punching, preach the word, keep preaching, and Peter can and Paul continued preaching for a long time, and Peter continued preaching for a long time. He knew. Let the crowd back him down. Crack the thing open. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. Here on them, preach the word. Do it whether the people like you or don't like you. Like last night and tonight, they're easy meetings for whatever reason. You guys are like super easy to preach to. But then you go other places, they don't. I mean, those three guys in that back row at that prison, they're letting me know. I don't like I understood why they said we don't know why these guys come. But I've been looking at people like you that are deader than you. People in Vermont that go to church were way more spiritually dead than those three murders. And I broke them, and I'll break you. And they got broken. I'm not backing down. Hallelujah. I pray tonight you get an impartation of a spirit that'll never be deferred. Never back down. Somebody shout, never back down. Never bow to the bales. Never give into this world. Never let the world uh uh set for you what's an acceptable level of Christianity. Can you say amen? People gave up on me now, but I used to hear that the first 15 years all the time. And here it's gonna be different here. It's different here. It's different in the south, different in the north, different in Canada, different in Arizona, it's different in LA, different in California, different in Africa, different in Europe. I think, no, it's not different. They wore you down. You came out swinging like Conor McGregor, but now it's round eight and your punches didn't land, and you and you ran out. But that's why Paul said, keep your sense of urgency. Don't let the people wear you down. Preach to them. Come in fresh to the pulpit every day, and you'll attract eagles. Eagles won't eat dead food. Eagles eat fresh kills. And when you have the fresh word of God, you draw different types of people into the crowd. We got a room full of them on this Tuesday night. We have people that the devil's giving them every reason to give up and quit to back up. But here you are, still coming, still gonna win the church, still gonna win your defeat. You have the victory, and the devil is defeated. And if you're gonna see it, take 70 seconds up your head. I'll never be defeated. I'll never give up and quit. Jesus is on the inside of me. I have his strength. I have his faith. I have his anointing. I have his power. Be seated. Herald and preach the word. Keep your sense of urgency. Stand by. Be at hand and be ready. Whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether it's convenient or inconvenient, whether it's welcome or unwelcome. You as a preacher of the word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong. I'm not saying you're wrong. I am. I had somebody message me at another place, or they waited after us for me. Hey, when you were preaching on this, were you talking about me? I said I wasn't, but so what if I was? What are you too too rich now to be corrected? You're too big for the the Lord to tell you something in your sermon? That's why I don't counsel people anymore. When people wanted counseling, I want to say anymore, I did it like twice. They basically want wiggle room out of the word of God. I heard you say that you're supposed to tithe from your business, but our business- Okay, so you want a reason why you can't. The devil doesn't have to get you to doubt the word of God, he just has to get you to carve out a reason why your case is different. But our case is not different. And if you'll line your life up and say, whatever happened to me, whatever excuses I have in the natural, I'm gonna follow the instructions of that book. Then God's power will lift you out of every obstacle and every pit that you're in. I see that happening tonight in the name of Jesus Christ. And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging, and then you should have a positive side to it too. Encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible. That's what Jesse DuPlanus is a master at. People are laughing through his whole message, not realizing they got paddled in the spirit and laughed through the whole thing. Encouraging them. Being unflagging. Unflagging. I like that. I like it, but I don't know what it means. Where's my phone? There it is. Hey, when the Bible says in 2 Timothy 4 2 to be unflagging in the Amplified Classic, I like that, but I have no clue what it means. Can you help me? Absolutely. When the Amplified Classic says unflagging in that verse, it's essentially saying you should be tireless, unwavering, and persistent. In other words, don't get worn out or give up. I like that. And if you if you make a choice to not get tired, people will try to make you tired and let you know you should be tired. I had um Rachel, no, Rachel doesn't do that, but Rachel messaged me today. I'm going to Slovakia right after what no I has seen. It ends on Sunday, and uh uh I was supposed to be there for Tuesday because that gave me a day where I wouldn't have to leave like directly after the service. She said, the pastor's been watching you, and he wants to know if you can come Monday night instead of Tuesday night. I said, Is it physically possible to make it? She said, Yes. I said, then let's do it. And he wants to know if you'll stay through Sunday and do day services too. I said, let's do it. She said, Are you sure? You're gonna be preaching at that point four straight weeks, and I don't want you to be tired. I said, last uh last night, Sunday night, I went to bed at 12:30 a.m. and I got up at 11:30 a.m. I slept for 11 straight hours. I said, I'm well rested, I'm ready to go. You know, just sleep. God will give you the Bible says he gives rest. It's not abusing yourself. Everybody's gonna take one day. Jesus did, God did, you you rest. But then those six days, you work. Can you say amen? This country was not changed spiritually by men that preached once a week. They were they were people that held Oral Roberts' original tent meetings were 30 days long. Morning and night. Sometimes morning, afternoon, and night. Then they shortened them to 21 days all over the the country. The Cane Ridge, Kentucky camp meeting speakers preached all day. They were tireless. My my my my airplane pilot from Iran. He messaged me the other day. I'm not patting myself on the back, but he's from Iran. He never went to church until he started being around me. And what's happened is everybody said God's word is powerful. Hallelujah. So they don't know. You know, my service could end anywhere between 9 o'clock and 1.09. So they don't want to turn the um, it's not gonna end at 109 so you can relax. They don't want to turn the engines on and leave them running for 90 minutes. So they would start watching me on YouTube to know when I was gonna wind down. It's funny, you know. You start watching, they started to learn the order of service, then they'd start saying odd stuff to me to hear from an unsafe person, like, it's a good crowd tonight. A lot of people came forward, you know, they're they start like rooting for you. And then um, so they'd start watching. So then they start asking questions about what I preach, then they'd start coming. He messaged me, he's in London, and he wrote, um, he wrote, how come all the other preachers only preach like once? Like, because he thought what I did was normal. And then and then he's like, Why don't they, yeah, yeah. I said, I don't know, they have a different calling. I was like trying to be nice. But but why don't they? You know, I woke up the one morning at eight in the morning, and Adulus is in four-inch heels with a nice outfit on. I said, Everything all right. You know, it's our day off. She said, I'm going to prison. It's about time. Say hi to your cousins for me. So I said, Well, what are you talking about? She said, I got I felt the paperwork out uh a couple months ago. I got cleared and I can start today. She said, I was reading my devotions to go preach, and um, and then if you don't visit the prisoners, you won't get to heaven, so I want to make sure my bases are covered. I'm going in. She said, We're going every week. She said, What do we get out of her going to prison? It's people that are in there long term. They get transferred. No one's coming out of there and coming to our church. She's doing it to stay active. She starts that women's conference tomorrow night. She's there working right now in overalls that I bought her, decorating the whole thing. She's been working there from 9 a.m. She'll probably go home at one in the morning. It's called tireless in the work of the Lord. I got an impartation of that when I went to India for the first time. And guys would have like five little churches in different slums and ride their motorcycle and go preach to the people. And I came back from that trip thinking, what are we doing over here? No wonder the things are starting to dissipate. But you know what? People are catching a fire now. I saw him start that church in Yuma, Arizona. I see other pastors, Dean Strapshire, that pastors in New Mexico, that's 80 years old, just went up to Kansas City to buy land to start a second church in Kansas City that he's gonna do at 80. That's gonna be your story. When other people are winding down, you're gonna be catching fire. Today's the smallest you'll ever be. I said, today is the smallest that you'll ever be. God's plan is gonna go into overdrive in your life. In Jesus' name. Can you say amen? Show the people in what way their lives are wrong and convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning, urging, and encouraging them. Being unflagging, inexhaustible. Now, what if if God told you to be like that in the Bible? Then are you wrong to confess that you? Now I'm not talking to tell people, you know, when the Bible says don't cast your pearls before swine, I feel like I'm at Seaworld. Every time you do that, I feel like throwing you a fish. So, yes, there you go. Give her a hand, everybody, all the way from wherever. So, praise God. You enjoying this tonight? Yeah, God's lighting you up. God's gonna lighten everybody up tonight. Tonight's a night of victory. I'm telling you, something broke in the spirit, like I said, leading up to Easter. I said, something's gonna break on Resurrection Sunday, and boy, the stock market's been like otherworldly. You could throw, you could throw darts at a dartboard picking stocks and make a million bucks this year. The devil has tried to take this country out, but he didn't account for Pastor Michael, and he didn't account for some of you going to Skid Row, preaching ladies' Bible studies. People are active in California. Let me tell you something. They can elect whoever they want in this state. The devil doesn't have any amount of politicians that can stop the power that's in God's people tonight in Jesus' name. Go ahead and clap your hands and give the Lord a shout. Hallelujah. Lift both hands to the Lord and let's say what the Bible says. Say, thank you, Jesus. That I'm unflagging and inexhaustible. Yeah. So start confessing. I'm telling you, like I told those prisoners to read the book of Ephesians before I before next week, and they read it all that day and got knocked out of their seat and spoke in tongues. I'm telling you, every time you get ready to say, I'm tired, I want you to say that instead. Thank you, Jesus, that I'm unflagging and inexhaustible. Hallelujah. See, see how there's no anointing on saying I'm tired? You get more tired. But there's an anointing on saying what the Bible says. Lift your hands one more time. Say, thank you, Jesus. I'm not tired. I'm unflagging. Inexhaustible. Praise God. You know the old generation that's pretty much past now? Like if you're a grandparent and you're in your 70s or 80s, or if you're a grandparent and you're like my wife's people Puerto Rican, you're a grandparent and you're in your 40s. Um you remember that older generation that my my grandma Irene was a part of. If you caught them sleeping, they'd like deny they were sleeping. It was just like a sin to sleep. My grandma, she was like in her 80s. We'd be watching TV, her eyes would close. And I'd go, hey grandma, you want to go up to bed? I was sleeping, I was just resting my eyes. It's like it's one in the morning, it's not on your 80. It's not you're it's not you're guarding the president. But those guys, if you're watching, should stay awake. Holy moly. Got better security at in and out. They must say unflagging, inexhaustible. That generation wouldn't rest, and the the one the people now is like they won't. I don't mean young people, I mean like all people. Not California. You have to work here, or you won't live. Even the people in the tent cities that are homeless are hustling stuff, selling broken violins and stuff. You gotta hustle, even if you're homeless in California, you gotta pay the rent on those tents. Amen. And so we you gotta get back to that. Everybody say there's a work for me to do. Say God's not finished with me yet. If God was finished with you, we would have already had a memorial service and some potato casserole and some triangular cut sandwiches in your honor. But you're here. It's not because God forgot to take you to heaven, it's because he's got a plan for your life. There are people, it makes me happy. I don't know what will ever happen to that guy. But that guy that got knocked out of his chair and spoke in tongues, I guarantee you God didn't do that just to put on a little display that day. I bet you that guy's gonna get out of there one day and have a story about what God did for him in prison and some preacher that came and did that, and he's gonna do a work for the Lord. Every night I come to the pulpit, I try to think there's people there, there's women there and men there, that God has a plan. And I want God to use me like God used preachers in my life. That when I was discouraged, 21, 23, nothing was opening up, wondering what I was gonna do. They came with the word from God. And you came in feeling dejected, but you felt like leaving and punching the devil straight in his face because you were reminded from the Bible that you're unflagging, inexhaustible, ever abounding in the work of the Lord. I came to tell you tonight, you cannot be defeated, and you will not give up and quit. You know, our people don't really listen. Yo, yo, you quit being unflagging and inexhaustible in your teaching. Can you say amen? Three. For the time is coming when people will not tolerate sound and wholesome instruction. But having ears itching for something pleasing and gratifying, they will gather to themselves one teacher after another, to a considerable number. Those are people that can't stay planted in a church. Chosen to satisfy their own liking, they'll choose teachers that will tell them what they want to hear, satisfy their own liking, and foster the airs that they hold. If you like drinking and getting drunk, you don't have to not go to church. You can just find a church where the pastor will do it with you. If you believe there's many ways to heaven, I can recommend a nice church with a bunch of blankets in Walpole, Massachusetts. Where you can go there as a Hindu, Buddhist, pick whoever you want, do whatever you want, pick the parts of the Bible you like, don't take the ones. That's a sign of the last days. Think of this. A sign of the last days will be that people will not hold to the word of God, but instead they'll find other people that will teach them what they want to hear and foster the errors that they hold. So if the Bible says that that's a sign of the last days, wouldn't it be better if to make sure I'm not gonna be one of those people? Do you know why I haven't changed from 15 years ago till now because I've got heavier? Do you know why? Because I made a point not to. I thought if the Bible says that a sign of the last days is people that were once on fire are gonna let their fire go out. People that held to the word are gonna let go of the word, that I'm gonna keep a watch on my life and my teaching, and I'm gonna hold to the word. I'm gonna keep the word ever before me. I'm not gonna make the word line up with my life. I'm gonna line my life up with the word of God. I want to tell you tonight, all the younger people, line your life up with the Bible when everybody's celebrating how many people they sleep with, how many girls they've slept with, be proud that you live a holy, godly life, and there's a reward on the other side of that. Hallelujah. What's for? And we'll turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions. Can you find the scripture for me, Tessa? Um about the great delusion that'll come on the earth that'll deceive, if possible, even the very elect. Turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions. Five? Just out of curiosity. As for you, it would sound different. So thank God Paul talked to Timothy. This is what's gonna happen in the world, but not for you. And most Christians don't have that mentality. I mean, we live in a corrupted world, everything's corrupted by sin, including you. This is what's gonna happen in the world, but not, but for you, there's different instructions. Say this so the devil can hear you. I live in this world, but I'm not of this world. I live for Jesus Christ. Say, I live by his word. I'm gonna have you find another scripture for me, Tessa, since there's no chance I'm ever even gonna get to point one of these nice notes I made. Find an obscure scripture that don't get read anymore, where Jesus said, Those that love me, those that obey my word, are those who love me, and I will love them and manifest myself to them. So, because if you just say I trust Jesus, that means a million things to a million people. Muslims don't have a problem with Jesus, the Jesus that they've been taught. So then you don't want to measure that just give yourself a pass. I'm gonna tell you something. I know that sounds like a rebuke, and you've done nothing to warrant a rebuke. But it's just a general thing for the last days. Have you ever noticed everybody, in their opinion, is the victim? I mean, you could have somebody walk up and slap uh Pastor Mariah in the face and get kicked out of the church, but their Facebook story isn't gonna be I lost my temper, I'm ashamed, it's the devil attacked and something like that. Don't allow yourself to be a victim in your story. I'm like this because this person did this, the devil did this, my uncle did this. Even if it's all true, because you've been given power to overcome, refuse to see yourself as a victim. See yourself as more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ. I see that power coming into you again tonight in greater dimension in Jesus' name. John 14, 21. This is Jesus talking. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. I love Jesus. Well, what's the proof? Those who accept my commandments and obey them. See, that lady in Walpole thinks she loves Jesus, but Jesus is gonna have a different thing to say. I'm not rooting for her to go to, I'm saying as things stand right now. By your words will you be justified, and by your words will you be condemned. I love Jesus. No, you don't, because he said, if you love me, you'll accept. He didn't make suggestions, he made commandments. I mean, it really takes a devil to get you to misunderstand I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father. I mean, literally, even the devil must have listened to that sermon and say, that's pretty good. Even I don't know if I could have warped it that bad. That'll show you the deception that's in the last days that you can take. Let me see John 14, 6. I am the way, the truth, and the life. How many people come to the Father except through him? Nobody. Now, how do you read that scripture and then preach for 20 minutes to your congregation that he's not the only way? It literally says it the other way. And then go to it's the same chapter. Go to 21. Those who accept my commandments and obey them. And I say accept them. It's not enough to accept them. No, I believe that he wants us in church every Sunday. Where are you gonna be this Sunday? Some of you already have plans to be somewhere else. This is California. It's not church day, it's brunch day. Mom wants us to meet with. Then she should pick another day besides Sunday. I'm gonna have you I'm building tonight. Tonight, a toughness is being built in you to stand in the final hour of time. So if you can't say in church, where can you say it? Say this: I'm a full-time Christian and a part-time everything else. My boss uh told me I have to work on Sunday. Pray because he doesn't even know you're a Christian. Don't even pray before your meal, you just squint real quick. People just think you got Tourette's. You have meal-induced Tourette. I bet you most of your bosses, if they knew that you were a Christian, they would respect your Sunday off like they would respect a Muslim on Friday or a Jew on Saturday. You have to legally give somebody a day to worship. I have to work on Sunday. No, you don't. You have to be in church on Sunday. I'm telling you now, and I used to take all kinds of flack from this when I was that little guy in that video. Because the line even pastors would tell me is you can't be that firm on that for people. I know the Bible says that, but you're in your 20s or you're in your 30s. You'll see it's different when you get married and have kids. I made up my mind. Nothing's gonna be different when I'm married, and nothing's gonna be different when I have kids. I am a Bible man. If you want me to deny this book, you better get your sharp sword and hit me right here. And I'll gladly have my smiling head rolled into the ditch before I deny one thing that's in this book. But you know what I want to preach to you tonight? When you cross that bridge, if you stand for God's word, God's word will stand for you. It'll pick you up, it'll give you power where you're weak, it'll heal your body everywhere you're in lack. God will fill it in. Those who accept my commandments and obey them, they're the ones that love me. And because they love me, so if if if you think that everybody gets the same thing, how you know because of grace we all have the same, we have access to the same thing, but the Bible says there's a different group of people. That if you accept my commandments and do them, that proves your love. Somebody can stand with worship music on their living room for nine hours. I love you. And then if they won't obey what the word says, they don't love him, according to Jesus. Those that love me accept what I say. And they do it, they obey them. And because they love me, my father will love them, and I will love them, and reveal myself to each of them. What's 22 out of curiosity? Okay, that gets. See, now who's the first one that bucks up and has a problem with it? Who? Judas. Oh, it's a different one. There were two Judases? I bet you that guy for the rest of his life is like, I'm not, I'm the other one. Oh, Judas. No, it's the other guy, he's dead. Can you say amen? Now, let me let me see the powerful delusion thing. I'm gonna pray for people. Sign of the last days. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones. I want to find another one too. So Jesus said that in Matthew 24. 2 Thessalonians what? 2 Thessalonians 2. 9. Good job. You got a good pastor there. It's like Chad GPT, but handsomer. Let me see verse 1, 2 Thessalonians 2, 1. Don't miss this. Now, dear brothers and sisters, let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him. Don't be so easily shaken or alarmed by those that say the day of the Lord has already begun. Don't believe them, even if they claim to have already had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. Don't be fooled by what they say. Everybody said, Don't be fooled by what people say. Match everything up to the Bible. I don't care what you're in charge of, I don't care how many degrees you have. You know, when Dr. Founci did his first press press conference, March 2020, when he talked, I didn't know anything about him, I didn't know anything about anything. I just thought as he talked, I don't like you. And then as soon as he finished the press conference, my uncle Ted called me, who's a prophet. He said, uh, what'd you think about what that guy had to say? I said, what did you think about it? He knows I can tell you one thing. He's a liar. So that's the first thing I picked up on him. And from that day, I decided anything you say, I'm gonna do the opposite. He canceled churches, the next press conference. I called a guy in Huntingdon, Texas, and booked a week of meetings because anything the devil tells you not to do once, do it ten times, and you'll always go in the right direction. Can you say amen? Don't be fooled by what they say, for that day will not come until there's a great rebellion against God, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one who brings destruction. He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call God and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God claiming that he himself is God. Don't you remember that I told you all about this when I was with you? And you know what's holding him back. Keep going. Six. And you know what's holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way, which is who? Good. You get we're taught right. I don't have time to get into the proof of it, it's the church. Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming. This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those who are on their way to destruction. Because they refuse to love even here. What's the root cause of all the problems? Because they refuse to what? Love and accept. Come, come on, don't get mumbles. I feel like I'm all roberts on stuttering night. Because they refuse to and accept what? Everything comes back to building your life on the Bible. You know how many times I had to hear 2020 through 2021? If you have church this weekend, we're gonna we we might arrest you. Then do it. You think I care? I get a call from Afflack Insurance. If you're still gonna have church, then we're gonna drop, we're gonna drop your ministry as our insurance provider. On speakerphone. Then I said, then drop me. And then I just sometimes when you get yelling, it just feels good. So you say more. I said, it'll be a cold day in hell when I start taking orders from the AfLAC duck. I'm sure that guy was sitting in an office with a suit and tie, but he felt like a duck at that point. Yeah. I said, I said, the only reason I need insurance. When I was in that video in the gray suit, you think I had any insurance? To have insurance, you have to have something to insure. I own nothing. I had a car that hadn't been registered in two years because I couldn't afford to get the brakes fixed. The only reason I have a building and employees and assets to insure is because I refused to back off of that book. And if you think I'm gonna do it now, you're sad they mistake it. Now, let me tell you this. So then what was the threat? I got called from preachers and everybody else. If you do that, you could lose everything. But you know who lost everything? Them. They're still in 2026 saying, it's time to come back to church. No, it actually was time to come back to church March 17th, 2020, and March 24th, 2020. Because you don't, if the Bible says, check this now. If the Bible says that the devil is gonna throw everything and the kitchen sink, knowing it's time short, that on a night like tonight, when the stock market's up and there's no mushroom cloud in the sky, and you got a house, you should settle in peacetime, how you're gonna be in wartime. That the devil can do whatever he wants. I the song they taught me first thing in Sunday school. I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back, though none go with me. Still I will follow. Say it so the devil can hear you. I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back, no turning back. Thank you. Where is Dr. Fauci? I don't see him on TV anymore. But I'm on TV right now. You're gone and I'm here. You're hoping not to get indicted, but I'm not indicted. And if they do indict me, the prison they'll send me to, I got at least 11 friends. They love my preaching. I got protection before I'm even there because God's way is perfect. I'm telling you tonight, God has a plan for you. Not just to survive in the last days, but to thrive in this last hour of time. Don't back up, don't begin exhausted, don't get tired, don't get weary and well doing. Hey. He will use every kind of evil and deception to fool those who are on their way to destruction because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. Eleven? So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe all these lies. Did anybody hear what Perry Stone said yesterday? He said they called high-level ministers into a government meeting and said, We're about to release what we found about the UFOs, and it's gonna rattle your congregations. So you need to prepare them. You need to prepare me. Can you find a Tessa? I mean, I'm gonna give you a bonus after tonight. You did more work than me. Can you find a book? I think the author, I know his first name was David. I can't remember the last name. I read it when I was in fourth grade. I was actually thinking today how the Lord prepared me for all this. In fourth grade, I hate reading. Reading makes me sleepy. I like the idea of reading, but then after a quarter of a page, it's seven in the morning. And I still have my shoes on. And in fourth grade, and I hated reading then more than I do now, I grabbed this book called UFOs, The End Time Delusion, by Dr. David Somebody. He was a theologian, and he talked about how the Lord showed him that Satan was gonna use, and it's funny how the devil has no new tricks. I'm only 45. I've already cycled through this when UFO abductions were a big thing and uh the X-Files was the biggest show on TV about the paranormal? Yeah. God will cause them to be not deceived, greatly deceived. They'll believe all the lies. If possible, even God's very own elect would believe. What if the Catholic Church came forward and said that the shroud of Turin, we've known the whole time that it's a fraud, and we what if the Catholic Church came forward and said, we've had the body of Jesus this whole time and he never rose from the dead? What if they say whatever they're gonna say about aliens tomorrow? Did you hear what they said? I don't give two poos what they say. They could have every government official. I mean, really? You're gonna let the people that won't release the Epstein files tell you about UFOs? You come up with anything you want to come up with. This sucker has lasted 2,000 years. They couldn't put it out in the USSR, they couldn't put it out in the it still can't stop at North Korea, it's about to go through Iran like a raging fire. It's gonna sweep Venezuela, the grass withers, and the flower fades, but the word of our God David Allen Lewis. End time delu UFO end time delusion. Why does NASA spend millions on giant antennas trying to contact extraterrestrials? Who are the deceivers? Bush and Gorbachev discussed UFOs at their summit on Malta. Are we being observed by superior civilizations or are these demonic counterfeits? That'll be a good place to close. Good, play the clip. This is from a day and a half ago. He's not like a meeting, uh a weekend meeting, preaching uh Friday, uh, Saturday, and Sunday morning. And he said, Perry, can you give me a call? I have some information that has come to my attention. Of course, when a friend of yours does that that you know quite well, you're not, you have no idea what information they're talking about. And I'm not gonna go into great detail, but there were uh a large number of pastors that have been invited to go to a certain state to hear some pause real quick. This is uh front page or second page in the Daily Mail in the UK right now. I'm not pulling some some weirdos podcast. This is uh Perry Stone, most of you know who he is, and this is a real thing. These guys were called in, he's not lying, and told, I've been waiting for it. Because what's the only part of Bible prophecy that hasn't been fulfilled yet? The sun will be turned dark, and the moon will turn blood red, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. So there's some space stuff, and that's why when Trump announced, whenever it was, that they're gonna start Space Force and a fifth branch of the moon, I said, here it comes. Something with that. COVID failed, here comes the next thing to argue with your cousins on Facebook about. You need to listen to the aliens. It's a it's a um it's the new normal. Aliens are our masters now. Okay, continue. Men in the United States government and others share with them a concern that they had, and this particular man, and I'll not name him, and then we may end up doing some teachings with him or having an event at his church, at his great church, but he said, Perry, what you're what they're about to release from what we're hearing, is going to be a release concerning aliens and concerning uh unidentified flying objects spacecraft. Say a couple words with me. Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, raging seas. We'll call them tsunamis. Say uh Great Deception. Yeah, so they just go in cycles. Then when that's finished, it'll be back to climate change. And there'll be some massive thing. If everybody could just stop driving so much, we can make the earth cooler. Then when we get off that, it'll cycle back to wars and rumors of wars. Then there'll be a new disease, blah. That's what I feel like when every time the news is on. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't need news from you. I'll pray in the spirit and know exactly what's gonna happen before it happens. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. Continue. Some of the people who were in Where's that kid? Hey, I like you. Give me a mighty book. Give me all the mighty books. Continue. Spacecraft that some of the people who I like, I like a happy kid like that. I've seen kids their age that looked like they did two tours through Afghanistan. They hold their they hold their pacifier like a cigarette. I've seen things. Are you a vice cop? Keep going. In the meeting, we're telling us as pastors, you need to prepare your people and you need to get ready to answer them for what you're about to hear being released. And some of it has to do with crafts that have been discovered that plus, I think his meetings like spacecraft, not like pottery. This was made by an alien. It's on the antics roadshow on PBS. Keep going. And the materials they're made of are not a part of our planet. Uh very strange reptilian-looking creatures. And other things that almost sound I grew up in Pentecostal Holiness Church. I've been looking at strange reptilian-looking creatures my whole life. Ain't gonna bother me, my friend. Keep going. That's the worst timing of any video in the history of the world. That lady, Cindy in Kentucky, is not an alien. She's from Kentucky. So that's the plan. That's the next great wave of deception. Pop that book back up. When they announce that today, how many? Now you know what this is? When the world's in fear, there's gonna be a baptism of joy in the church. The world's gonna be crying, you're gonna be laughing all the way to heaven. The grass withers, the flower fades, but they can't shake the men and women that are plugged into the word of God. That book was not geared for fourth graders. Man, the joy's here today. Stand on your feet, everybody. Hallelujah! Say it out loud. I'm not getting weak. I'm getting strong. The joy of the Lord is my strength. Come on, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Can I tell you something? While there's an increase of demon activity before Jesus comes back, just like the Bible says, where wickedness abounds, there the grace and power of God that much more abounds. There'll be an increase of angelic activity, there'll be an increase of the move of the Holy Ghost. Then we're gonna come under devils, but we're coming under a greater power from heaven that gives us victory over the plans of the devil. Congratulations in advance! You've already won your battle. Come on, take 70 seconds to celebrate. You're on the winning side, you will not be defeated, you will not give up and quit. Either beginning can work in you, is bringing it to completion. Somebody shout hallelujah! Somebody shout hallelujah! They must say the Holy Ghost will prepare me and is preparing me for all the things that are to come. Why did I pick that book up at fourth grade and read it cover to cover? That's why I remembered off the top of my head, I remembered the author's names. As soon as Perry Stone said that, that covered up. Oh you know what he did? It's actually a great book. He uh he did a portion of the book, how every single person that had testified that they'd been abducted by aliens, um, none of them went to church or claim to be a Christian. Not one. And there was like hundreds, and nobody went to church, so statistically it's not even possible. If it was like equal, there should have been a percentage of Christians. But the devil can't deceive you when you have the spirit of truth. Amen. You you try to beam me up into your spaceship, I'll blow it up. I'll do what Elijah and Elisha did when the men came after him, I'll burn. That thing down by command. I don't care what galaxy you came from. I know somebody that made your galaxy. I'm with him. You can't shake me. Now, when you heard those leaders call in and say you guys need to prepare your people because it's going to shake them, it is going to shake a lot of those people's churches because they preach nothing. But you no, Pastor Michael doesn't have to prepare his church. I don't have to prepare mine. Say, I believe the word. Say you can put on any light show you want. Show me anything on TV you want. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our Lord stands forever. Now clap your hands and rejoice one more time. Receive a fresh victory tonight. Hallelujah! Say that loud, the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. One more time, the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. Now lift your hands, and if you're filled with the spirit, begin to pray in the spirit. Stir up your inner man. You're getting too strong tonight. Too strong in the spirit. The devil doesn't have a strategy for people like you. I'm not going down with this world, I'm going up with Christ. Hallelujah! Lift your hands all over this place. Receive an inability to be deceived. Same way Fauci couldn't fool me, couldn't fool a bunch of you because you have the spirit of truth and you can spot a lie. You'll spot a lie, and you'll never be taken down by it. Say this, whatever they say. If it doesn't line up with the Bible, you can't make me believe it. Can't do it. My Uncle Ted has said for a long time, and then he said it publicly so I can say it. He said he's always felt that the Catholic Church is gonna say that they have the body of Jesus and the shout of Toran they made as a forgery to keep the thing going. And Jesus never rose from the dead, and they'll be they're gonna like prove it. Prove it, you know, like from a carnal perspective. What would you say? Would you hear? They found Jesus' body. Oh, dude. That's great to hear. Can I have a ham sandwich, please, with fresh tomatoes? Not gonna alter one thing I'm doing. Can you say amen? That's why the Bible says, as you see the coming of the Lord approaching, you should be meeting together more often instead of less often. That's why when Fauci Fauci said, uh, we're not gonna we're not gonna have churches during this time. That contradicts the Bible. So I had a feeling Jesus wasn't in heaven going, come on, Jonathan, let's check for this time until we get this virus sorted out. Good job. And the the results prove it. We'd had a record year before that, took in three million, took in 5.2 that year in an economy that was not good, then 12 the next year, 20 something the next year, 31, 35, and going up. Can you say amen? Because you can only go up if you stay with the word. And tonight you make a decision to stay with the word. And the devil doesn't have a strategy for somebody like you. Can you say amen? Let me pray for my friend in this Eagles hoodie. I could have prayed for you an hour ago. You came here to receive from the Lord, and you were on fire before I opened my mouth. God's got something for you tonight. Are you from Philly or just an Eagles fan? With both hands, close, both eyes. Thank you, Jesus. For power in the spirit. Too much power. In Jesus' name. Thank you. In Jesus' name. Every hand lifted. Receive your own infilling from heaven tonight. In Jesus' name. Go ahead and sing whatever's in your spirit, such as every hand lifted. Just shut yourself in with God right now. He's preparing you for this final run before we go up to heaven. Go ahead. I will bless thee, O Lord. Great song. I will bless thee all with a heart of thanksgiving. I will bless thee, O Lord. I will bless thee all. With the heart of things kill. With my hands with it with the heart of Thanksgiving. I'm a blessing. With a heart of thanksgiving. I will bless thee, O Lord. Every head bowed, every eye closed. Matthew 25, 1 to 13. The bridegroom was delayed. Ten bridesmaids had lamps. All of them had oil. Five were wise and five were foolish. Five didn't have enough oil, and the fire went out. But five brought extra oil. When the bridegroom came, they all went in. But five couldn't get in. And they shouted to the bridegroom, Let us come in. And he said, Depart from me. I don't even know who you are. Verse 11, 12, and 13. So you too must keep watch and be prepared. For in such an hour as you think not, the Son of Man cometh. So you too must keep watch, for you do not know the day or hour of my return. If a theologian named Dr. Willard Cantalon said, if you take that scripture literally, it means that half the people that once were ready, as time goes on, will lose their fire and not be ready. If you were going to take that literally. You think if the rapture happened right now, every church would clear out? You'd have some churches like that one in Walpole, they won't even know the rapture anything happened until after the service, and they'll be happy it happened. New age religion teaches that the earth will purge itself of those that are holding back its progress. They'll be glad we're gone. All the people that are holding back the progress for abortion and everything else, we finally got rid of them. They'll be glad we're gone. But they're gonna find out in seven years that the only thing that was keeping this planet from rotting was the salt, and the only thing keeping it from darkness was the light of the church. And so if you're here, I want you to, I mean, it's worth asking yourself, not just tonight, like every night before you go to bed. But let's do it tonight. Which group are you in? Are you have you made provision for extra oil? Are you on fire for God? Nobody backslides overnight. It's like a tire leak, not a blowout. The pressure gets less. Church attended spottier, prayer life non-existent, Bible reading, not at all, here and there. But tonight, God brought you to this meeting to hear a lot of words. And I guarantee you, like happened in that prison, the Holy Ghost is dealing with people's hearts. Get rid of sin instead of sin getting rid of you. Go to war against unbelief. In Jesus' name. Hallelujah. I want to pray for you tonight. If you say, Jonathan, I have allowed myself to become an American Christian, a California Christian, an acceptable amount of Christianity, the kind that doesn't trouble the devil. I go to church, I believe in God, I believe those things are good, but you're not on fire. I'm not asking, do you have a church? I'm not asking if you read the Bible. I'm asking, are you on fire for God? Are you living with a passion for God? If not, that's why you're here. The Lord brought you here, not to scold you, but to say, come get oil. Let me relight your fire. And from tonight, that fire will never go out. The fire will never go out. In Jesus' name. If you're here and you say, Jonathan, that's me. When you pray, when you pray tonight, I want to be included in that prayer. I want to make Jesus Christ my Lord and my King and declare my allegiance to his word and stay with it from now till heaven. You'll be amazed, not only what happens in your life, but the lives of people around you. Everyone around you will now have an influence for God. And they might not have any at this point, but they're going to have one after tonight. Your decision is going to affect a lot of people for the good in Jesus' name. Jonathan, when you pray tonight, I want to, I want included in that prayer. I want to settle my account with God. If that's you, put your hand up and wave it at me. I'm going to pray with you tonight. In Jesus' name. Awesome. Very quickly. And if you're if you got to tap people to get out, that's fine. Don't worry about it. Don't let six people keep you from making it to the aisle on the altar. Everyone that lifted a hand, come to the front right now. We're going to pray. In Jesus' name. Keep clapping, keep encouraging them. He will save. Keep coming, keep clapping. He will say. Like he did to that gentleman in the prison not too long ago. Say this out loud. Heavenly Father, I've come forward tonight to give you my life. I love you. I love your word. I commit myself to you. I commit myself to your word. I turn my back on sin. I give you my life. I believe in my heart. You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth, Jesus is Lord and my Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness. By the blood of Jesus, I am saved. In Jesus' name. Amen.
