SPEAKER_02 0:13

Take your Bible if you would turn it into the book of Acts with me. Angels capital fortune single. Then once you get the five back up to four, I'm gonna read part of that. So Peter and John get beaten and sent back, and they they return to their own company and they start to pray as a unit. The Bible says in verse 27. This is their prayer. In fact, this has happened here in this very city. For Herod, Antipas, Pontius Pilate, the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed. But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will. And now, O Lord, hear their threats and give us your servants great boldness in preaching your word. It was say great boldness in preaching your word. Stretch out your hand with healing power. May miraculous signs and wonders be done in the name of your holy child Jesus. After this prayer, the meeting place shook. So there's a release. Let me see Ephesians 3 20. Ephesians 3 20. You can do King James. Now all glory to God who is able. Now unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us. So that's one of those scriptures usually hear half-quoted. How many know God's able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we'd ask or think? But they leave out how he's able to do it. By the power that works within you. So it's not God just doing his thing and you watch and clap. He fills you with his power, and then the Bible shows you ways to release that power. Prayer is one way to release that power. Let me see James chapter 5, verse 13. James 5, 13. You can do the living translation. Are any among you afflicted? Are any of you suffering hardships, he should pray. Now notice in the King James it said, Are any among you afflicted? NLT says suffering. People get into bad doctrine on healing because they say, well, the Bible says that many are the afflictions of the righteous and that we're to suffer, and these guys teach healing. But notice that in the Bible, though we use suffering with sickness, there's two different instructions. Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Because you can't have somebody lay hands on you and say, Father, let them never be persecuted again at work. Jesus said, In this world you'll have trouble. There'll be people that rise up against you, and you have to learn to pray. Is any merry? Let him sing. Then are any among you sick? Different. You should call on the elders of the church to come and pray over you. If you have amplified classic, switch to that for this part. You should call on the elders of the church, the spiritual guides, and they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And this prayer that is of faith, not might, I'd ease up if it said might save those that are sick or can save those that are sick. It doesn't say that. It says the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will restore him, and if he's committed sins, he'll be forgiven. 16 is about confession of sin, which I'm not dealing with right now, so go to 17 because I'm dealing with prayer. Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have. NLT, keep Amplified Classic up. You don't have to switch translation every time I mention it. Hopefully the people will believe that I'm not lying. But uh, New Living Translation, it says Elijah was as human as we are, King James Version. Elijah was a man subject to like passions. What the Bible's trying to tell you is these people weren't special. They were just like you. The difference is they developed their faith in God and learned that you can wield that power and change your reality in life. Can you say amen? Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have, with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours. And he prayed earnestly for it not to rain. And no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months. 18. And then he prayed again, and the heaven supplied rain, and the land produced its crops as usual. Where does it say the prayer of a righteous man has great power and produces wonderful results? 16. Back it up, back it in. Let me begin. Confess to one another your faults, your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins. I'd be careful who you do that to. And pray also for one another that you may be healed. Pray for one another that you may be healed and restored to a spiritual tone of mind and heart. The earnest, heartfelt, continued prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available, dynamic in its working. Let me read that last part again. The earnest, heartfelt, continued prayer of a righteous man has great, makes great, tremendous power available, dynamic in its working. Now, when you have people that have a problem with people falling out under the power, and to be honest with you, I don't give two hoots if anybody ever falls over in one of my meetings again. But when people see it and go, I don't, I don't understand what that is. Why do you not understand it? Where's that in the Bible? People falling down. Put uh Psalm 23, 2 up. Psalm 23, 2. Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down. So it's right there in the Bible. But then, you know, as if it's nowhere. What happened when Saul, before he became Paul, saw Jesus? What happened to him? They shook hands and had a chat? No. I fell to the ground. Let me see Acts chapter 9. I'll turn there. Turn to Acts 9. I want to talk to you about power tonight. Spiritual power. Acts chapter 9. Saul's conversion. Verse 3. As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying, Saul, no, uh uh, let me not breeze through that. As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. And he did what? I don't see anywhere in the Bible where anyone ever fell down because they had an encounter with God. Sorry you're illiterate. Sorry you bought a Bible at 31% off because it was missing pages. It's right there. It's all through the Bible because there's spiritual power. And until people realize that, and I'm I made a little joking uh Instagram. I'm probably gonna do more of them depending on what kind of mood I'm in tomorrow. I'm tired. I I mentioned the alien thing and taught about it. I said in the beginning, I said, I don't care if this video gets 12 million views. I'm done talking about it. I'm not gonna be the alien guy. I'm a preacher of the gospel. But all these people are looking at leave it to Christians, always looking at what the devil's doing when the devil should be having prayer meetings in hell about what we're getting ready to do. My friend, this is not the devil's time. This is the time of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The last days, the last days are not a seeding of power from the church back to the devil. That's why if you don't have rapture theology correct, you're always gonna be afraid. Because if you think we're gonna go through the tribulation, then at some point the devil has to be able to take dominion back over the church. One question I always have for people that think there's not gonna be a rapture: at what point does the Antichrist have power over me? No, but you don't understand, Jonathan. See, watch, it doesn't deal with end-time Bible prophecy, it's a misunderstanding of your dominion in Christ. Everybody say, My dominion in Christ. Let me see Romans 16.20. Could be wrong, but I feel like it's right. Romans 16, 20. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord everybody say the devil's under my feet. Where else is that in the Bible? Let me see Ephesians 1.3. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Not who will bless us, not who is blessing us, who has blessed us with what? I need a blessing. You need to read. I was with my Uncle Ted one time, and a guy said, Brother Ted, do you have a word for me? And he took a he said, Can I see your Bible? And he took it and flipped it back to him. There's a whole book full. Can you say amen? Always waiting for God to do things that He's already done. I have been blessed with every spiritual blessing. You know, I believe in breakthrough. I got sermons on breakthrough, but I want to ask you something. I need a breakthrough tonight. What do you need done that hasn't already been done? Basically, when people hit a breakthrough, it's a revelation of something that was there all the oh. I'll tell you one, I was bedridden with a major problem in my body. You say, what was the problem? I don't know. Because I don't go to the hospital. I'll die in my own bed. Yeah. I feel like I owe it to the people. If you're in the hospital and they wheel me in next to you, you think, son of a gun, everybody's dying now. Oh summon. But I couldn't get out of bed. And then I was listening to Bishop David Oyadepo preach, and he said, out of Matthew 15, that the Syrophenician woman that was saying, Please heal my daughter, and Jesus answered her not a word. And then uh the disciples said, Send her away, she's bothering us. And Jesus said, Is it right to take the bread which was healing? Everybody say, Healing is the children's bread. Is it right to take the bread that belongs to the children and throw it to dogs? And she replied, Yea, Lord, but even the dogs get the crumbs that fall from the master's table. And he said, Good answer in the New Living. And because you've answered so well, I've healed your daughter, and her daughter was healed that selfsame hour. Two things that he preached that hit my spirit and jerked me out of that bed. Number one, one crumb from that bread healed her daughter of that affliction. We don't have a crumb, we have the whole loaf. Number two, bread. Now he I mean, I'll tell you three things. Um we don't feel healing is always God's will. No, the Bible calls it bread. And sometimes God teaches us through sickness or whatever. No parent, unless you want to go to jail, and rightfully so, punishes their child with food by saying, you're not eating until you get your grades up. That's called child abuse. No parent, I don't care how bad your kid is, especially if you're Italian, you don't withhold food or Mexican. Holy moly. I saw Jim Baker on TV selling a seven-year supply of rice for the tribulation. I thought, I got a Puerto Rican mother-in-law, she's already got it in her kitchen. I'm keeping my offering. Can you say amen? Yeah, everybody feeds everybody. I mean, your mom, I was listening to a comedian that I shouldn't be listening to, and uh he said, My mom's Italian. He said one time she was even yelling at me, Oh, you do stay out all night? You don't have a job, go eat those meatballs. So even when a parent is mad at their child, they don't take food away. And the Bible says that bread healing is the children's bread. An evil father doesn't take food away from his children, and God's not an evil father, he's a good father, and he's got healing for you and your family tonight. I said he has healing for you and your family tonight. If you believe it, shout amen in California. And then number three, he said, um, bread when you study it in the Bible, is daily necessary. Hallelujah. Getting refreshed just preaching on it. Daily, necessary, say with me, daily, necessary provision. Tessa, can I have my notes that I wasn't gonna that I tried to preach on the last few nights and wasn't gonna preach on tonight? Might might do it. Anyone mind hearing a little bit about healing and miracles? I don't think she wants to hear it, but as long as everybody else is cool with it, it's good. Amen. She's cool, she's going to the back. Everybody say daily, necessary, provision. See, because I was like, you know, in the future, God heal me, and whenever it's your will, and maybe sometime, maybe I'm gonna get healed in a meeting and it's gonna be a great testimony. No, there's no future plan for God to heal you. There's no plan for God to heal you today. Jesus, 2,000 years ago, before your great grandfather was alive, took your sickness and removed all your disease. And you can have it right now in Jesus' name. If you believe it, can you say amen? That's right. And then how does it come? I was in bed another time, in rough shape. It's like the only two times I've been in bad shape in the last uh how many years? 20 years, 20 going on 25 years. I went on a fast to start the year, broke the fast, and I got food poisoned with like my first meal. And so I was already down. I had done a 30-day fast, which I'm not recommending. I'm just telling you what I did. I did 21, just felt like going longer, and me and me and my pastor friend just went longer. He got a building during that time. We were feeling great. Then I broke it with a little meal, and it had uh poorly refrigerated. Yeah, I didn't know what I was doing. I should have should have eaten something else. Or not eating at all. I was in freaking central Pennsylvania. Not really the best place to order seafood when there's not an ocean within a thousand miles of you. Getting the seafood from the local creek or whatever. So I'm really gonna miss preaching to you. You're very nice people to preach to. Praise God. So I ate it, and you got that like rock feeling in your stomach when you get food poisoning. When I was in bad shape because I couldn't hold water down and I was already weak, I'm sure it's the devil's trying to kill me. But uh I finished that meeting barely, and then I went home and in my suit and tie with my dress shoes in on, went in bed and went under the covers. I didn't take anything off. I looked like Ward Cleaver. How old is this crowd? How did you get that reference? The dad from Leave It the Beaver, there's like always fully clothed because I wouldn't let him sleep in the same bed, even though they were married on TV. I was laying like that, and then a dollas came in. She's like, Can I get you something? I was like, No, I'm good. And then I just kept getting weaker, and you know, God never sends evil, but then sometimes when you go through something bad, it'll give you it's like God, it's not God's will for you to go to prison, but if you went to prison, you won't be so harsh towards people that are felons because you can kind of see yourself in them. And then so I I kind of understood. Um I didn't have the energy to read, like I didn't have the energy to pray. So I'm just laying there, getting ready to go to heaven, and uh you guys like me dying? Okay. Probably gonna be a poor offering tonight. So uh we're receiving the offering. So I get a phone call from my mom. She was in Maine, and my dad was preaching in Toronto, and they hadn't talked. My mom said, Jonathan, I'm not trying to interfere. You know I've never given you a word before, but I had the Lord wake me up and I felt like you're gonna die. And she said, I if it's okay with you, I wanted to pray for you. Well, it wasn't like I was like enjoying the day, and someone said, The Lord told me you're gonna die. I was like, Sounds about right. Is that you, Lord? No, it's your mom. So she prayed. Say the effectual, fervent prayer. Say with me, prayer is from the heart. Hannah was praying for a son in such a manner that Eli, that ran the temple, had never seen a woman pray like that in her whole life. He thought she was drunk. Woman, put away your wine. You come to the temple like that? Because she was praying from such a depth that no sound was coming out, even though she was moving her out. Hey, what are you doing? And everybody else. She's on the ground, and he's never seen anybody pray like that before. And she said, Oh, sir, 1 Samuel chapter 1, I think, or might be chapter 2. Um, don't think I've been drinking wine or anything stronger. I was merely pouring out my heart to God. Can you find a scripture for me, Tessa? When Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. There's a pressure in prayer. I don't mean the flesh. You can do it like her. Hannah wasn't making any sound, but there has to be something of you in that prayer. Okay, sometimes the best way to understand what something is is to understand what it isn't. Father God, we thank you that we're here today. Father God, we just ask you to bless everybody today. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's all coming from here and here. But then from the heart, there's a different kind of prayer. Like um, I I was talking to a guy that's that's a decently known minister, and I didn't know any of this about him. We were talking, I, you know, he's got a nice suit. I never knew he had any problems. He said, about 20 years ago, I came home from preaching, and my wife was gone. All the furniture was gone, she had enough. And uh he said, I I lost all my money. I quit preaching. He said it hit me so hard, I was just like in a shell. I had no money, all my credit cards were maxed out, and he said it messed my nerves up so bad that I he said someone would have to salt my food for me because if I want to get the salt shaker, I'd knock it down, and if I want to do it like I'd drop it, shake it. He said, I had like the shakes from a nervous breakdown. So he said, My father is a Pentecostal pastor, and I said, Dad, can I come stay with you for a while? See, that's what David did. I'm not trying to get you all to move back in with your parents. A lot of you young people are here believing for a breakthrough to move out from your parents. I'm not trying to set you back, but uh I like that, you know, it's funny when people get in trouble, they know who's anointed. And they think they think you they'll come find you. There's people that mock your faith now, but when they're in trouble, they're gonna know exactly what coworker, and that's why I'm preaching this tonight. We will do major damage to the kingdom of hell if we release 300 plus people tonight that aren't just churchgoers, they carry God's power and know how to release God's power. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. Yeah, remember what it said. It's trying to take you out of seeing Elijah as a prophet, though he was a prophet. You remember, see all the prayers Elijah prayed? He was as human as you are. It didn't come because he was a prophet, it came because he had faith in God and knew how to pray. And you're leaving tonight with great faith in God and knowing how to pray in Jesus' name. Can you say amen? Can you say a better amen? All the men say I'm a righteous man. All the women say I'm a righteous woman. All the people that aren't sure will cast the devil out of you before the service is over. All the men say I'm a righteous man. All the women say I'm a righteous woman. That should be how you identify. You know, not white, black, master's degree. I'm righteous. I'm holy. I live for God. I love the Bible. I'm a church man. If you're a woman, I'm a church woman. Whatever goes on in this world, I don't care if 900 aliens are in the parking lot. I'm getting in my car and flying to my plane and flying home. And if they get in my way, an angel knock them on their bum. In Jesus' name. Can you say amen? Yeah, everybody say amen. There's a lot of stuff that's gonna get thrown to this new virus can kiss my gospel grits. I've already gone through this in 2020. You should at least wait it a little time before we before the PTSD wore off. That virus comes here, I will strangle it to death with like this. I'll find it. I'm done. The devil took his shot 2020, 2023, and he failed. We were never supposed to have meetings like this again, but the devil did what he does best.

SPEAKER_01 21:40

He failed, and now it's time for the church to get anointed with the Holy Ghost and fire.

SPEAKER_02 21:47

Somebody say it's our turn now. Hallelujah. Praise God. I'm not getting sick. Aliens. Your big ugly eyes. I'll kick you in your alien no-nose how's that? I'll get Chat GPT to figure out how to say it to you, an alien. Yeah. I'm not putting up with the devil's crap. Can you say amen? Praise God. So you gotta learn how to release the power in prayer. There should be some force in it. My dad used to say when he preached, I'm sure he still does, but I remember it from youth camp and stuff. You'll never get delivered from a sin you're not disgusted with. And you won't get healed of a disease you're not disgusted with. If you kind of like being sick and have your little support group, enjoy yourself. I read a story of Smith Wigglesworth. They took him to go see a rich lady in England that wanted healed. When he walked in, she was in like her nice four-post bed with nice, you know, English jammies on, pajamas. You call them jammies. And they said he walked in and went, My, you look comfortable, and turned around and walked out. And the pastors came around and told him how offended she was. She's a big giver. He said, I don't care. Tell her when she's ready to be healed, I'll come back. Can you say amen? Hey, go pray for people in their homes. They got slow music playing and the blinds drawn and the lights low. They've made an atmosphere for sickness. Your house can be an atmosphere for sickness. Your house can be an atmosphere for depression. You've lost somebody that died prematurely, me too. I don't have their picture up to snap me out of a good mood every morning when I wake up. Make your house a sanctuary, make it a place of the anointing, make it a place of faith. Can you say amen? I'll tell you, I used to tell, like somebody would bring their 17-year-old or 19-year-old, you know, 23-year-old, my son, my daughter's battling depression. Can you pray for him? It's not that I won't pray for him, but now I just tell him something that I, you know, every night in my room I get tormented about the same time, about two in the morning, I'll wake up out of a dead sleep in a panic. Can you pray? I said I could, but I'll give you something better. Do you have a smart TV that can play YouTube in your TV, in your in your bedroom? Yes. Put me on. Put me on preaching. Not check the news. Put me on preaching. And there's no chance a demon is gonna be in that room with the preaching of the word under the unction of the Holy Ghost. You can make an atmosphere that's not conducive for devils. Can you say amen? You know, all these, my grandfather called them granola Christians, fruits, flakes, and nuts. All these nuts that are on talking about like um there's monitoring spirits. Tell me how a demon's gonna stay in the room with me. When you yo, I'm getting got about 18% response. I'm gonna ruin your whole Christianity. You won't even know what to do if you're not fighting demons. But you know what? You can get them under your feet permanently and go on and take ground from him instead of defending your ground from him. That's where you're going tonight in Jesus' name. Can you say amen? So I I don't I don't see that. There's there's spirits that are monitoring us. Well, not true. How's a demon gonna stay in a room with me when I have angels of the Lord ordered to encamp round about me? Hallelujah! Sorry, my Verizon bill just where did David go to live with Samuel at Ramah? And then um the anointing came on the men and they began to prophesy as they came to attack him, and then Saul tore off his clothes.

SPEAKER_08 25:56

David fled to a place called Naoth in Ramah, and that's where he stayed with Samuel. I know when Saul's men came to capture David, the Spirit of God came on them and they stood.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

Yes, where?

SPEAKER_02 26:11

Naoth was a part of. No, where in the Bible?

SPEAKER_08 26:16

I'm not going there. You'll find that story in 1 Samuel chapter 19.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

1 Samuel 19. Turn there. 1 Samuel 19, 1. And Saul spake to Jonathan, his son, and to all his servants that they should kill David, too. Told him what his father was planning. Tomorrow morning he warned him, you must find a hiding place out in the fields. Keep it rolling. I'll ask my father to go out there with me and I'll talk to him about you, then I'll tell you everything I can find out. The next morning Jonathan spoke with his father David, saying many good things about him. The king must not sin against his servant David, Jonathan said. He's never done anything to harm you. He's always helped you in any way he could. You should read these stories. You know, because you it's clear many people have never read these stories because they're making the same complaint. I've never done anything to hurt this person. All I've ever done is help them, and they're still trying to kill me. Read the Bible. Happened to everybody. What do you think Jesus did to get put on the cross? He like did some things he shouldn't have done? All I've ever done is been nice to them. And still, they turned on me. Have you ever heard of that? Have you ever heard of the story of the cross? Have you? So then the Bible tells you how to deal with those situations. What did David do? Have you forgotten about the time he risked his life to kill the Philistine giant? How the Lord brought a great victory? So he's like making his dad madder, because this is why his dad hates him in the first place. And the great victory to Israel's result as a result? You were certainly happy about it then. Why should you murder an innocent man like David? There's no reason for it at all. So Saul listened to Jonathan and vowed, As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be killed. Afterward, Jonathan called David and told him what had happened. Then he brought David to Saul. And David served him in the court as before. War broke out after that, and David led his troops against the Philistines. He attacked them with such fury, David was like a psychopath. Then he'd like kill everybody and then write a song. With a harp, like kill a bunch of people. You know, one time, this really happened. I'm not trying to be anything. I'm telling you, I found this funny. Probably no one else will find it funny. I'm minding my own business, sitting in my living room, and Camila comes in and goes, hey Pa. I said, What? She went, can I ask you a question? She seemed like really troubled. I said, Yeah, yeah, whatever. What do you want? She went, why did David, why was David so obsessed with men's wieners? I said, What? She said, It says that whoever brings him a thousand Philistine foreskins can be my captain. And I said, I said, she said, that's men's wieners. So I went to ex-I was gonna explain. I'm not explaining this. I went, yeah, I don't know. He he is, it's odd. I'll tell you that snapped me out. Why was David, why did David want men's wieners? That's a great question. Go ask your mom. War broke out again after that. David's up in heaven right now, going, it was a different time. And David led his troops against the Philistines, and he attacked them with such fury. So he's not only killing people, he's attacking them with such fury that they just took off. Keep going. But one day, when Saul was sitting at home with spear in hand, the tormenting spirit from the Lord suddenly came upon him. And as David played his heart, Saul hurled his spear at David, but David dodged out of the way. And leaving the spear stuck in the wall, he fled and escaped into the night. Then Saul sent troops to watch David's house. They were told to kill David when he came out the next morning. But Michael, David's wife, warned him if you don't escape tonight, you'll be dead in the morning. That's a nice thing to hear from your wife before bed. So she helped him climb out through a window and he fled and escaped. Then she took an idol. See, this is why she was always, remember when he came back dancing before the Lord and she got mad? It's because she was still hooked up with idols. Then she took an idol and put it in his bed, covered it with blankets, put a cushion of goat's hair at its head. Keep going. When the troops came to arrest David, she told them he was sick, couldn't get out of bed. But Saul sent the troops back to get David. He ordered, bring him to me in his bed so I can kill him. But when they came to carry David out, they discovered it was only an idol in his bed with a cushion of goat's hair at its head. Grab the Paul and Nietzsche testimonies. Why have you betrayed me like this and let my enemy escape? Saul demanded of Michael. I had to, Michael replied. He threatened to kill me if I didn't help him. It's like a country song. So David escaped and went to Ramah to see Samuel. And he told him all that Saul had done to him. Now, this guy doesn't have a lawsuit pending. See, when you read the Bible, you're not only gonna find people that are dealing with things similar to you, they're dealing with it at a much worse level. He's got the U.S. Army coming after him. So, David, now where are you gonna go? Shouldn't you go to the woods? Shouldn't you go find the men? How come he didn't go with his military guys to protect them? They'd have done it. But David escaped. See, David, one thing you should know about David, he had an extreme value for something that many don't value now. And that's not a rebuke. They don't value it because no one's ever told them about the power of God that that that the manifest power of God that in English is called the anointing, and in Spanish is uncion. I like that one better because it's unction, it jumps on you. You feel like doing something, and then God, it's like God's might taking over your body, it's like God's power stepping into you and giving you strength to do what you couldn't do at all. That's coming into you right now. You're receiving strength tonight in Jesus' name. If you believe it, shout aloud, Amen. So David escaped and went to Ramah to see Samuel and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then Samuel took David with him to live at Naoth. So now that's that's crazy. But see, I'm like that. If I have, I told you I hadn't been to the hospital. If I had had a problem, I'm not saying I never battled sickness to heaven in a long time. But when I did, I'd go find a preacher. One time I drove down, my my back was jacked up, my leg would give out on me. I was like in bad shape. I went to go see my uncle Ted in West Virginia. He was watching the Three Stooges when I came in. I like the Three Stooges. One time Camila came home from Christian school and I said, What'd you learn today? She said, My teacher said violence um doesn't solve problems. I said, Come here. And I played a couple episodes of The Three Stooges. And sometimes it does. That's called um James Dobson shaking his head in heaven right now. I walked into Ted's house. He got right up out of the chair before he even had a chance to go in. Walked over to me, grabbed me under the armpits. I never told him what was wrong, and he didn't know. Picked me up and slammed me down on my feet, and when my feet hit the ground, the I felt something jerk into place. I went, thanks. And it was my birthday. He went, Happy birthday from Jesus. And he went back to watching the three students. See, most people go to the anointing last, but if you go to it first, you're not gonna have to go anywhere else. Everything you need is in the anointing of the Holy Ghost. All the problems you're trying to solve are like branches on a tree. But when you blow the root out of that tree by the power of God and then stay in that power, you're gonna see what happens here. When the report reached Saul that David was at Noah and Ramah, he sent troops, the army, not a not two cops, to capture him. But when they arrived and saw Samuel leading a group of prophets who were prophesying, the Spirit of God came on Saul's men, army men. Shabra Kore Potya. And they began to what? Prophesy. When Saul heard what had happened, he sent other troops, but they too prophesied. And the same thing happened a third time. The anointing immobilized three battalions of people. Then Saul himself went to Ramah. See, this spirit is in politicians in America, some of them. And it's not a new thing. How many of you were here when I played that story from Brother Shambok of them trying to uh shut his tent meeting down? You know, imagine hearing that happening, and instead of your response being, son of a gun, you know, I've made a mistake. I'm sorry, God. Look, I'll go do it myself. I'll shut this church down myself. By the way, where are all the politicians that shut churches down? Probably the last one left is Newsom to lose office. The guy in Nevada's gone. Jay Insley in Washington's gone. Uh, yeah, who was the guy? Uh uh Cuomo. Either shut the churches down or I'll shut them down permanently. He said that word for word. When he said that, I thought, you are dumb. Even if you don't like church, you should keep your mouth shut. If you make God's church your enemy, it's a bad move. That's not a threat. That's a kindness of a warning. Read history. You're a governor. The USSR. Nikita Khrushchev said, I have made it my business to shut the church down in the USSR. No, to bury the church. That was what he said in Russian. But they buried him, and the church in Russia is doing just fine. Can you say amen? I want you to know something tonight. You're not running your own thing. You are a part, you are hooked up with Jesus. Even that scripture I read, Acts chapter 9, verse 4. What did Jesus say? Saul was going to arrest Christians. Jesus didn't say, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting my believers? Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting my church? Saul, Saul, why do you persecute who? Me. See, everybody say I live in Him. I move in Him. I have my being in Him. Say, I'm hooked up with Jesus. I'm gonna tell you something right now. I know it's strong language, but you should receive it because it's biblical. Whatever can't take God out, can't take you out. Because you're hooked up with God. Whatever the devil has planned, the wickedness in this world can never be greater than the Christ that lives in you. If you believe it, shout amen like thunder. So I'll take care of it myself. Saul himself went to Ramah and arrived at the gate, the great well in Seku. Where are Samuel and David? He demanded. They're at Naoth and Ramah. But on the way to Naoth and Ramah, the Spirit of God came even upon Saul. And he too began to prophesy all the way to Naoth. Now notice there, what happened to all four groups of people when the Spirit of God came on them? They prophesied. When the Holy Ghost comes on you, you speak. That's not the Holy Ghost. That's just you going like this. But I'm talking about the power of the Holy Ghost. And even that first scripture I read in Acts 4. Lord, the Bible said the building was shaken. And what did they pray? Give us your servants great boldness. How many of you were at the crusade we did in Santa Ana at that stadium? I'll never forget it. There was an old uh Mexican-American guy with like a Panama jack hat on. And he told me after he was Catholic his whole life. That was the first time he ever heard what I preached on the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost. And I watched as halfway through the sermon, he took his hat off and put it over his heart out of respect. And then came forward and asked, like with his hands up, if I'd pray for him. And then he waited for me after and said in broken English, I understand everything now. I get it now. That there's power. It's not coming to just go to a building and feel a little better, then go outside to get your butt kicked by the devil. That has nothing to do with Catholicism. That was the whole time I grew up in Pentecostal church. I mean, now there's gonna be there's a devil out there. Yeah, tell him I'm coming. Because he's not over me, he's under my feet, he is not in charge of where I go. He not only can't stop you, he can't even slow you down. But on the way to Naath and Rama, he began to prophesy all the way to Naath. Keep going. He tore off his clothes and lay naked. So you got a problem with the falling down part, at least it's stopping before this. This is in the Bible. I'm not trying to build a doctrine outfit at all. Quick, get more modesty clause. What we've been training for our whole lives, we need. And lay naked on the ground all day and night. He's the king. God's got a way to humble people. Prophesying in the presence of Samuel. You know, yeah, I've had people that you preach on this. What does that mean? It means he laid naked on the ground day and night and prophesied day and night. It's not a lifetime movie. Just read it. Prophesying in the presence of Samuel. The people who are watching exclaimed, what is even Saul a prophet? Can you say amen? Everybody say there's power to immobilize the attack of the devil. And so when I see Satan try to flare up now, I don't tell, oh, we need to pray. No, we don't. I actually know that something's breaking loose, and it's his feeble attempt to get you nervous, but I this isn't my first rodeo. Even literally, I've been to a couple rodeos. I remember um when I got arrested, or not didn't get arrested, they shut our I almost did. They shut our meeting down in Newark. We had the permits, and I didn't know that stuff about Brother Shambhok and all that. That he went through the same thing. I go to the meeting on Wednesday night. We had permits for the whole week. How many appreciate Pastor Michael? Opening the doors of the church, dressed like an Albanian gangster. It's like he runs a Persian nightclub. How many know God's got a great year in store for you? Can you say amen? Hallelujah. He looks like the guy that comes to see you at a at a at a nightclub in East LA when you've been too loud. Excuse me. Praise God. God has power for you to immobilize every attack that's against your life. Can you say amen? So, Newark, I go to the thing, we had permits for the whole week. I go to the field, and they have the big highway signs that say Festival of Life is canceled. And all the cops are saying like 20 some of them. You give me a thumbs up. I don't want to watch the whole video. Do you have that, the part where it gets canceled and the and the cops ask me to pray for them? I tell you, it's pretty powerful. Because when we preached that night, that was our last night. I preached strong, way stronger than this. I actually had made up my mind before I went to the pulpit. I'm not even gonna mention this, I'm just gonna like pretend like nothing's happening. And my I must have been ticked off in my spirit because it came out strong and it rattled those cops. 21 of them came up to me at the end and said, We didn't plan this. We if it was up to us, you could stay. This is the mayor's order. Would you please pray for us? There's like like they were nervous from what I preached that someone was gonna hit them. Big New Jersey cops. Then when I prayed for them, which was funny, because I said, without thinking, you know, they're all on duty and in uniform. I said, um, they said, Will you please pray for us? I said, All you lift your hands. So they all, the cops are all sitting like this, 21 of them. And then I started praying, and it looks like I'm like robbing them. There's 21 cops standing still like this, and one guy like this. This guy in a sideways Yankee hat with a cigarette walked by. I'll never forget the rest of my like this. I can't even do that with a gun. He's doing it with his finger. I finished praying for them, and two of the women cops tapped me and said, Can you pray for us? We're not able to have children. Think of that. They were there to shut the meeting down and heard what was said, and got so stirred by that they realized that God could give them a miracle. Can you say amen? So I finished that meeting, not feeling too great, got the thing shut down. We were almost out of money. You know, I think we were down to like eight grand in the whole ministry with a payroll. I was like, and so I go to get something to eat, and uh, it's the only way you can deal with anything is a born-again, the only thing we're allowed to do for fun is to eat. So most people would drink alcohol or smoke. I have it a sandwich. And then uh as I'm sitting there, my Uncle Ted called me and I answered the phone. I said, Hey, Uncle Ted. And I thought maybe he watched me preaching, you're a little strong, or you're something like that. He went, Congratulations. I said, on what? He said, I heard the city shutting your meeting down. I said, Yeah. What's with the congratul? He said, Congratulations. On yeah, on what? He said, if you're having citywide problems, it's a sign that you have an anointing. To reach the whole city. He said, Satan devotes resources based on the level of the threat that you are. So, congratulations. He said, You've never had this happen before, have you? I said, No. He said, That's because you never carried what you're carrying right now. You're stepping into a new level in Jesus' name. I want to tell everybody in the sound of my voice that came here, and you think you're under attack, you're not under attack. The devil has his shorts and a knot because he knows you're going to another level and there's nothing he can do about it. The devil might not like you, but it can't do anything to stop you. In Jesus' name, I tell you, you're going to another level. If you believe it, shout out receive it. Praise God. It must say power. You got you got that part, Tessa? Yeah. So just in case you think I'm lying, here's it.

SPEAKER_04 44:56

The anointing during the crusade was so strong that even the police asked Evangelist Jonathan for prayer. Yeah? No, in the mount of a couple of things.

SPEAKER_02 45:08

Can you back it up to the part where the night I'm getting kicked out? Yeah, she was the last one in line, so I just used all the oil. Are you gonna just save it for the next crusade? I still remember, too, a lady came up to me with the answer. What what was the prophet literally, what was the prophetic significance of you pouring the whole oil on her? I said she was last in line. It signified I was done. Go ahead, Tess. If you're a little off, it's no big deal.

SPEAKER_01 45:45

He doesn't have permission to take out my hand before that.

SPEAKER_02 45:50

Yep, there it is.

SPEAKER_04 45:52

The Islamic city government of Newark, however, had done it.

SPEAKER_02 45:55

It was the Islamic, it was Corey Booker and those guys, because we were having so many Muslims get saved. Muslims get saved easy, especially in summertime. I was preaching in Philadelphia. You want to know how I got a bunch of Muslim women saved in Philadelphia? There are black Muslims in Philadelphia. I said, I said, imagine coming to Jesus and not having to wear that black thing over your head in 97-degree heat. Three women went like this. They didn't imagine it, they did it. Imagine getting to have prosciutto again. Hallelujah. I'm telling you, the devil's not gonna know what hit him. The devil's not gonna know what hit him in 2026. Look at that. I think the first name uh 1700 said. I was believing for a thousand. So the devil, see, the that's what all this alien crap is, and sorry. And uh forgive me, it's not the best political climate for a white guy to be spitting on a sorry about that. Trying to spit on somebody of every race before the night's over to even it out. You know what all this alien stuff and huntavirus is? You think that this resurgence of young people coming back to church? You think the devil's just gonna? There's always an attempt to stop up the well. Go back to American history and watch how during every great awakening there was a rise of that's where uh Christian uh science came out, not Scientology, Christian science. Then um, there was always like a new age thing that would come up alongside it. People were hungry for the supernatural, so then the devil would give them a counterfeit. The devil looks to stop up wells, but I'm telling you something. He's not gonna stop up this well. Because right now, there is the best educated group of believers that have ever been on the planet. We have what Finney didn't have in those. I was listening. You know, I said, well, I'll tell you, I'll finish a sentence before the night's over, I'll tell you that. Ten words or less. What was the largest estimated crowd that Charles Finney had in the height of the Rochester revival?

SPEAKER_08 48:31

About 1,000 people at a single gathering during Rochester.

SPEAKER_02 48:36

Great. We got five, we got 400 here tonight. You know? So these meetings, oh, to be back in Wigglesworth's day. Wigglesworth had 300 people, 400, 600. They didn't have the sound system for it. There were bigger meetings. I'm not saying there were no big meetings, but all these great revivals. There's actually a strong. If the devil can get you longing for the past or longing for the future, you'll never do anything right now. If it's, oh, I can I wish I could have been in Azusa Street. This isn't gonna make me any friends, but it'll be a cold day in hell that I go back to the Azusa plaque. Did the Holy Ghost die under that plaque?

unknown 49:15

No.

SPEAKER_02 49:16

Did the Holy Ghost die with uh Amy Simple McPherson? No. Do I have to go lay on her grave to get what she had? Or is the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead that was in her available to any man or woman who desires him right now? Can you say amen? Praise the Lord. A hundred and twenty years ago, God shook America from this place. Great. Oh, how many of you know we need another Pentecost? No, actually, the first one's just fine. Holy Spirit wasn't sent and then vacuumed back up to heaven. Can you say amen? If you open your eyes, the biggest moves of God by far that have ever hit the planet are happening right now. Can you say amen? Here was one of the new, that's that's 1,700, and then Christian Television Network put it on for free and it crashed their phone bank. How many people called to be saved from TV? So the devil, so then there's a flare-up. See, back then in 2018, I didn't know that stuff. Oh man, I don't know what I'm gonna do. Now I get happy. I almost get nervous if you have if there's too many meetings. Now in your flesh, you want every meeting to be like a cool meeting, but if there's too many meetings that go by that something doesn't, a demon-possessed person doesn't flare up, a group of people, where's Jeff at? You know, Jeff's back there, we started bringing them on the road. There were seven guys that came in a meeting to disrupt it one time, and I and uh I was at a uh Hispanic church in New Mexico. It was mostly Hispanic oil field workers, and these seven white guys stand up that are reformed. What you're speaking is not of God. I said, you know what they're doing this, but you know what the real problem is? I said, notice all seven of them are white, they don't like Spanish people meeting in a mixed-race church. And then, I don't know if that was true or not, but 40 guys immediately stood up and showed them to the door. Can you say amen? Everybody say say this with me. Before Satan makes a plan to take me out. God already has a plan to take him out. Every person that came in here today battling something, that battle comes to an end tonight. I said that battle, whether it's sickness, whether it's something with your children, whatever the enemy used to attack you, you're coming out of it strong tonight in Jesus' name. If you receive it, do what you're already doing. Take 15 seconds, clap your hands, shout a little bit, and I'm gonna say, I'm on the whimming side. I'm on the whimming side. I'm not waiting for a breakthrough. A carry breakthrough. Now clap your hands and rejoice one more time. This is a level changing night.

SPEAKER_01 52:07

Hey! The devil is defeated! Jesus Christ is King of Kings.

SPEAKER_02 52:18

Can you say amen? So if you think I'm wound up now, this is me. Back then, roll it.

SPEAKER_04 52:26

The expectation was certainly set for the week ahead, and we were determined only to see victory upon victory.

SPEAKER_02 52:36

Paz! This is like two churches helping us. That crowd of 9,600 people was like 90% plus unchurched unsaved. It was great. Keep going.

SPEAKER_04 52:51

The Islamic city government of Newark, however, had different plans, making every effort to shut us down completely. On night three, the city placed a sign in the park announcing that it was the conclusion of Festival Twice. They thought they had brought the crusade to an end, but to their defeat, evangelist Jonathan certainly had something to say.

SPEAKER_01 53:11

I see the push up there! This is the final festival. I have one question there. Do you think you are to get it? Copy into the ministry! Copy into the ministry! When God sends you, no devil can send you a pina, ninguém sacar! If you think I'm some spineless pub preacher, you got the wrong gun! I came to get this message to the people! Jumping at the me sale! And no devil in hell's gonna stop it!

SPEAKER_04 53:53

Word spread fast that Festival of Life would be meeting indoors, and once again the people of Newark lined up early with anticipation, wrapping around the building.

SPEAKER_01 54:09

I feel the Holy Ghost! Siendo la Spiritu Santo! I feel the Holy Siena Spiritu Santo! Your best days are not behind you.

SPEAKER_02 54:20

If you're a preacher and you don't get filled with the Holy Ghost, you have zero to offer people. What are you gonna do with people on heroin that are HIV positive? We have a home group that meets Tuesdays. All you'll be able to do is collect other Christians that have been impacted by somebody else and teach them a little more about the word. But you won't be able to deliver captives. Can you say amen? Keep going.

SPEAKER_01 54:50

Who does the devil think he is? He doesn't have permission to take out my people. I stand tonight. Speak this way. Jesus by the name. In the number of cases, if you wish me takes 30 good seconds. Shit that baby before me, put those angels and hands together. Applaud me! Announce the defeat to the devil. Your hands up is announcing that his reign of terror is over!

SPEAKER_02 55:33

Pause it. You know, you know, I wasn't gonna pray for anybody. I thought that was enough yelling. People got saved. You know, you don't want to overstay your welcome. I went to leave, only in New Jersey. I go to leave, and a guy blocks the exit. Goes like this. Alright, I prayed for him. Other people, when I finished with him, there are more people in line, then everybody got in the eye and wanted prayer. This that that meeting changed me because I realized I'm not forcing something on people they don't want. They've never had anybody pray for them. You saw people jumping up and down, just hearing for the first time, you're not gonna die. You're not gonna get overdose and die. Whatever plan the devil had for you ends tonight and it's hitting them in their spirit. So you're not trying to, hey, I'm gonna share some things. I mean, you got people, the verse that we started with give your servants great boldness in their preaching. What are you apologizing to your own church for? I'm gonna make one more point. Is that okay? It's your building. I can't imagine being in my house. Hey, Camille and Dose, I'm gonna go get some Mountain Dew. Is that okay? It's my house. I'll walk around on my boxer shorts. Do whatever I want. Apologize to the people. That's why God told Jeremiah, don't be afraid of their faces. See, on YouTube right now, people are leaving mean comments. You can't leave mean comments in the service, so they just do it with their fate, not here. You guys have been I haven't been treated better anywhere. But others, you know. I've started rebuking people for their faces. I was preaching, and this lady was staring at me, and I knew she was doing it on purpose. And I took it personally, because I take everything personally. I said something, and she went like this. I went, lower your eyebrows. It's very funny because it's hard to do that, and she went like this. I walked up to her about two minutes later. I said, I've been having people look disapprovingly at me since I was four years old. Ain't gonna bother me. I know what I'm sent to do. I know, Paul said, I know what my mission and my purpose in life is. And you love people, but you don't let people's faces deter you. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. There's a strength coming into your spirit right now. And I I'll tell you something that probably will shock you. God's filling you with strength, but all this junk that's taking place in the world, I have a very, very, very mucho, mocho, mocho. How do you say very good feeling in Spanish? Mucho bueno, what? What's feeling? Why's everyone pretending not to speak Spanish? There's no ice here. I don't know. I I've never spoken Spanish in my life. You don't say, I mean, I don't know. No one's getting deported. Stop laughing and tell me. I have a very strong, strong feeling. Very strong feeling. I have a very strong sense.

SPEAKER_05 58:54

Tango un buen sentir.

SPEAKER_02 58:56

Thank you. Get him. Say what? Tango what? Un buen sentir. I got a strong feeling. I heard now, whether you like Kenneth Copeland or not, you gotta give him credit. 2026 is the big fix. That's what he prophesied. You've been having everything wicked get knocked down. And then he said, after the big fix, 2027, a year like it came straight out of heaven. And I can see it leading up to that. Aliens ain't stopping it, alien narratives ain't stopping it. This virus is gonna come to nothing. It's not time for that. It's time to travel and preach and build strong churches. Your business is gonna have the best second half of a year that it's ever had, whether the devil likes it or not. Can you say amen? Everybody say the world is hungry for Jesus Christ and for his power. Tion Osborne told a group of Bible college students, I heard it on YouTube, he said, in order for you to have success in ministry, you have to be convinced of two things. I have what everyone wants, and everyone wants what I have. I'm not trying to force anything on anybody. I was trying to get away from those people, and they wouldn't let me leave till I prayed. Then you watch that 90-pound woman with everything she owns in a plastic sack, clearly full of HIV and AIDS and addicted to heroin, and she needs prayer, wraps her arms around me, and she feels the power of God. That's not that's not for set times. That's why I told you that that story the other night about going to the hot dog place in Phoenix at one in the morning and praying for all the people. If you carry the power of God, it becomes like a magnet where people can tell something's different about you. And they want something, they're not gonna say like you feel anointed, or I feel the presence of God. They'll say new agey stuff, they'll say whatever their background is. There's like a real light on you. Or like, I feel more peaceful when you're around. What is it about you? And you tell them, I'll tell you what it is. I gave my life to Jesus Christ, and he filled me with the Holy Ghost, and he gave me power. What do you need help for? They'll start crying, hold their hands, pray the prayer of faith, and God will set them free, and God will begin to use you to shake your generation. I see a room full of generation shakers. Only New Jersey. She came the night before her friend pushed her in a wheelchair and said, I'm in this wheelchair. Can you pray for me to get healed at the service tomorrow night? I said, sure. Before the service, she came to me, pushing the wheelchair, and said, When I walked on the field, I could feel my legs and feet, and I just got up out of the wheelchair. I thought, thanks for making it easy on me. At that point, Jesus was like, He can't do that. I'll take care of it. But you know what I did though? I've been doing crazy stuff. I'm gonna start doing crazier stuff. I started all the stuff the old guys did that, all the deconstruction. I was a preacher's kid and I'd been hurt in church. Oh, you're 51. Get over it. I was hurt. By who? Who hurt you in church? Ethel? There was an older woman. She smashed a communion cup over your head. What happened? Big baby. Morete huevos. That means dead eggs. I took the oil before the crusade started and went on the field and drizzled the field. And I suited and die at one in the morning. Looked like a sweaty detective. There were people dealing drugs in that park. They looked confused. A whole bottle of Goya. Praying, Lord, anybody comes on this field, let no demon spirit and no sickness or disease be able to stay on. And some people didn't look happy that I was there, but I've learned a lesson in life. If you speak in tongues, everybody leaves you alone. So when I got close to my turn the volume up. Whatever you're doing, do it over there. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I have such an excitement from May 10th through December 31st. I see everything the enemy's planning failing prematurely. I don't even feel like we're going to have to wait till 2027 for it to be a year from now. I feel like like now, like I can feel everything lifting now. I can, I can, I can feel a door opening up. Praise God. You're going to have the best year as a minister that you've ever had. There are churches present here that will be double in size, not double in the spirit. I'm talking about count times two. And offering times two by the end of this year. Because this is it. This is our last blaze out. Jesus is not coming back for a week hiding dehydrated milk, aka 47 and AR-15 toting, hiding out in the woods, church. He's coming back for a glorious church, taking dominion, taking ground. The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. Continue.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:10

What it does is it kills all your tissues. I woke up one day, I couldn't walk. I couldn't walk, I couldn't feel the earth under my feet. When he was ministering, it kind of like resonated with me. Really, what happened was when I got here. When I got here, I put the wheelchair. I told somebody else to put the wheelchair. And I just and I just got up. That was just it. I just got up, I got in front, and I just enjoyed myself. And you know, um, I I don't hurt. And that and that's strange to me. That's strange. I don't hurt. Um, I think I'm doing pretty good. I think I'm doing pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:56

You know, in North Jersey, even the testimonies sound like a threat. Like the way they're delivered. It's like she's like hoping, I don't believe that, huh? Boom! Keep going.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:08

And my legs was hurt. That went away. She knew that I had a messed up disks in my back. And I had this cane when I came in here walking with this cane. And you see where I had this cane at.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:30

Well, I would like to go find that lady and fly Justin Peterson to tell her she's faking. And him have a cane-shaped mark. You were actually taken advantage of and emotionally. Well, that'd be good money. That'd be like an entertainment expense. I'd rather have that than two tickets to a Dodgers game. Praise gun. Probably things better thought than said, but it's Friday night. Keep going.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:57

I've been battling a lot of dicks lately.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:02

See that lady? Her uh the Hispanic one, her name's Fior Hernandez. She's a reporter on Victory Channel now, I think, or Victory News. And you know where I met her? 2014. Um, I was preaching in Camden, New Jersey. That's south of Newark. Camden had the highest murder rate of any city in the United States at that point, if you counted cities with less than 100,000 people. And you know, if the church doesn't have power, the government has no answers for this stuff. They did have an answer. They did a study. This is a true story. They did a study that aquatic life has a calming effect on people. So they opened a um an aquarium. The government paid $3.00 million to open an aquarium so that people could go and view the aquatic life to lower the murder rate. Do you think it worked? Even the octopus stabbed the stingray to death. The spirit of the city got in the aquarium. So this was my first crusade that I ever did in Camden. It was with the church. Pastor Israel Lugu, my interpreter, it was his church in Camden, and I paid to put a stage up, and starting Sunday night, we didn't have, I mean, it wasn't big. It was like, it's the first time we ever did, maybe we had like a hundred and forty people, but they were like prostitutes and like people from the streets of Camden, like rail sinners. So a bunch got saved. Well, she came, she was working for um, as my family would say, Univision, and as my wife's family would say, Univision. So she comes because it's you know it's a Hispanic area, and so you're you're doing an evangelistic meeting here. Wow, can I interview? Interviewed me, interviewed, liked what she saw. She texted me after she went, that's amazing that you're doing that. I haven't seen anybody do that outside. I said, Thanks for the encouragement. Well, two days later, we were gonna be there the whole week. Two days later, the permit, I had never dealt with anything like this before. I was a small church preacher, you know, no no problems like this. So I don't know how to deal with it. So this this I'm staying in Philadelphia, having a nice coffee, and then I get a call from Patrick, and he sounds nervous. I said, What's the problem? They're like out of money or something. He's like, No, I just got a call from the head of permits in Camden, New Jersey. He said, You have till 6 p.m. tonight to take your stage down, or he's gonna arrest you. I went to Christian school. I was president of my class in seventh grade. Tell him I'm a good guy. Because back then I was like, I had like the stupid form of Christianity of like, if you're good to everyone, nice to everyone, nothing'll go wrong. So I thought, yeah, he can't do that. I said, Well, we have the permit. He said he went and inspected your stage, and it needs to be rated for 103 miles an hour of wind. And it's only rated for 80 miles. I mean, it was a professional stage company. I didn't have like the Royal Rangers build it. It was a professional company, it's rated for 80 miles an hour of wind that needs to be rated for 103. You know how much wind was expected that day? Three miles an hour. So, you know, you don't realize it back then, but I realized it now. That's why I will not, when somebody has that spirit, I'll comply. Our new church is all permitted and everything. I'm not looking for trouble. But if I get a if I get a Fauci scent from you that you've got it in for the church and you don't want a church there and you don't like preachers, and that's what's behind it, then me and you, you want to fight. What did Brother Shambok say? You do what you gotta do, and I'm gonna do what I gotta do. Can you say amen? But I didn't know that back then. I was 33. And I thought, what am I gonna do? So I go back to my hotel room, and I'm just thinking, and I feel like I got punched in the stomach. And then I thought, you know what? I just, it's like the Lord must have brought it. I said, I'm gonna call that reporter. I didn't know she was spirit-filled and stuff. I said, um, so she called. She'd give me, if you need anything, call me. I said, she said, hey, you're the preacher. How's how are the meetings going? I said, well, that's what I was calling you about. I said, the head of uh the part the the permit in Camden said, I have till 6 p.m. to take my stage down, or he's gonna arrest me. I said, and since you're a reporter, I wanted to call you. I said, if there's no cameras there, then I'll just go quietly. But if you're there, I'll I'll start yelling and stuff and give you like good footage. Discrimination. But if there's no cameras, then I'll just go. So when I said that, she laughed like you guys laughed. But I wasn't laughing. So she went, You're serious? I said, I'm serious. They they're gonna, it's 2:30, they're gonna arrest me at 6 o'clock. She said, Let me call the mayor and find out that this is really going down. I know him. And then she said, uh, and and then we'll then we'll get going. If it's true, will I get a call back in like 10 minutes? She said, I called the mayor. He had no idea any of that was happening. And the mayor wanted me to tell you tell that young evangelist, I heard what's going on down there. Tell him, I'll deal with that permit guy, and you keep preaching, and you'll never hear from us the rest of the week. Now, somebody that's here tonight, there's something hanging over your head, you will never hear from that person again in Jesus' name. You're being threatened by a lawsuit, you'll never hear from that again in Jesus' name. Go ahead. I feel victory in here. Tonight is a night where God's pulling you out of every pit the enemy dug for you. The enemy digs a pit for someone else, but he falls into it instead. That is your story tonight. In the name of Jesus. Somebody shout, Hallelujah. Say one more time. The Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. Give me seated. That's exactly what happened. And then um, to make it better, the mayor made the permit man call me and apologize. You know, I made him repeat it. I'm not joking. I said, I think my signal's cutting out. I don't speaker there. I said, Can you say it one more time? I'm very sorry for what I said. I was out of line, and I, you know, I just hope you'll forgive me. Cut out one, just say it the thing one more time. My friends are like laughing in the room. Beat it. Take a hike. I'm still ticked off about him. It's 12 years later, and I won. Freaking devil. Who drives by? See, I can't. 10, 9, 8, 7. How do you drive by a parking lot with a young guy preaching, pay the whole thing with my own money and praying for people, and you drive by that as a city official in Camden, as if I'm the thing that needs fixed in that city. People just dying and getting shot everywhere. We gotta shut him down. That's a devil. You might think I'm overreacting, but I'm not. I'm underreacting. People should be thankful we're in the new covenant. I done showed up with honey dripping out of my beard. Knock some heads. But you know what? That force that was in Elijah and Elisha where they killed all the prophets of Baylor, we don't do our warfare like that now. But that same intensity should be. Let me see 2 Timothy 4 2 in the Amplified Classic. Timothy, preach and herald the word of God. Keep your sense of urgency. Herald and preach the word. That's what I was doing in Camden. I was obeying that. And I'll just tell you how I feel. I was eight years old and minded my own business, and an angel came to my bedroom and called me into the ministry on behalf of God, and I agreed. And so you got me into this mess and you told me to preach. You know what I think sometimes, Brother Kofi? Sometimes I get a real confidence because I think when that angel came to my room at eight when I had a speech impediment, God knew all this was going to happen. And apparently it was so insignificant that it wasn't even worth mentioning. Just keep going.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:29

Hallelujah!

SPEAKER_02 1:15:35

I'll throw in a little side note. If you lose your fear of death, bankruptcy, and physical harm, the devil has nothing to get you afraid about. Nothing you're gonna just come to go so that I could go bankrupt. I'm not going bankrupt. I'm not gonna get sick, and I'm not gonna die until I'm an old man that's lived a long, good life and fulfilled my mission on the earth. So, huntavirus, aliens. I don't care, I don't care if they elect the most wicked president in the next election in 2028 that hates the church and has it in for the church. I'm gonna do what God's called me to do. And the devil might not like it, but the devil is powerless to stop it. He is not the restrainer of the church, the church is the restrainer of the devil. Can you say amen? Harold and preach the word. Keep your sense of urgency. This is the only thing I have going on right now, is this meeting. I don't whatever else is of no importance to me. This is my meeting tonight. This is where I'm at. I'm not thinking I don't have dinner plans at 10, clearly. There's no urgency. You know, you I would I've preached for people sometimes. Service starts at 7. You try to be done by 8:30. I got reservations at a place at 8:45, and the restaurant closes at 9. But you're not even, you're checked out of the meeting before it even began. This you you're my whole life tonight. My wife and daughter at home. I'll say, what's the difference if I see them at 5:30 or 6:30 a.m. when I get home? I want to see him, but I'm here with you, and I have no guarantee I'm ever gonna see again. And statistically, I have a guarantee that many of you I won't see again. So I'm giving it all I got. I want my meetings when somebody comes to hear me preach to be a place I came in there and caught something, and I was never the same after that. How many of you know they won't remember what we preach? They'll remember how we live. That sounds like a quote from somebody that doesn't preach very good. When I heard Brother Hagin preach on uh victory over poverty, sickness, disease, and death. It changed my life. I heard that message when I was 19, and I still haven't recovered. That's why I didn't end with food poisoning in bed. It changed me. I've heard other sermons. Fourth man by Oral Roberts. I heard it 17. That'll you're ever feeling down, throw that on. You'll pull your car over to the side of the road and run the rest of the way to work. Teal Osborne's book, Healing the Sick. Something jumped out of that book on me in Bible college at 19. There was a there was a section of books in our Bible college library. It had to be the Lord that led me to it. Because I don't hang out in libraries, but I had to like get a book or something. And then uh they had this row of books. It was like a wheeled cart with three shelves of books. And it said controversial literature. I was raised in the assemblies of God, they hated Brother Hagin, they hated everybody that was like of faith and stuff. They called them hyper-faith. Hyper means too much, and faith is the only thing that pleases God. You can't be hyper-righteous, you can't be hyper-faith, you can't be hyper-holy. You can never have too much of something that comes from God. You don't balance the things of God, you get an overflow. He's El Shaddai, the God of more than enough, and he anoints your head with oil and makes your cup overflow. It must have been the Holy Ghost because I looked at that shelf and I didn't know much about those guys. But when I started reading the titles, I thought, I don't like these professors. Because they were saying stuff like, Don't you kids think you're just gonna come out of here and win the whole world for Christ? Don't go laying hands on people, you're gonna get yourself in trouble. So I started to like not like them. And then I thought, if they're trying to clear all these books out of the library for 10 cents a copy because they don't want them in there anymore, think of it. The lady that founded the school, Sister Christine Gibson and the people after her, they were friends with all those guys. Shambok would come to the school conventions in 1970. All those guys preached there. Amy Simple McPherson, when her husband died on the missions field, came back to that Bible college in Rhode Island to recuperate under Sister Gibson's ministry until she was ready to start preaching again and then came out to California. That's the connection. How do you go from that to a hundred years later not even believing in that stuff? See, that's why you keep a watch on yourself. You ever see me wearing, nothing wrong with it, but have you ever seen me wearing a headset, Mike, like this for the whole night? Just come up and like show me footage of tonight and say, Porquet, what happened? Can you say amen? Everybody say the fire must never go out. How many know the fire is not about noise and shouting? Yeah, it is. You light somebody on fire, they don't go, excuse me. When you get a chance, could someone get a fire extinguisher? Someone's lit me on fire. I would scream, but I was raised Catholic. You're gonna be raised Catholic, Presbyterian, you're gonna scream. Somebody slams your finger in a car door. I don't care if you were raised by Irish Catholics that never said anything above 40 decibels, you're gonna let out a yell. Because when you're deeply touched, when you get the fire, there is gonna be a reaction on the outside. There is a vocal praise, there is a shouting, there is a preaching of the word, there is an urgency in your spirit that's visible on the outside. Receive that fire. Can you say amen? I didn't know God was preparing me, so I got all those books, right? Ten cents a copy and go back to my room. It was actually the 1950-something original copy of uh T.L. Osborne's book, Healing the Sick. It used to be called Healing the Sick and Casting Out Devils. So I got that book. I got John G. Lake's book. The um the title of the book is God Man and Other Sermons about how you and Christ are what. As he is, so are we in this world. And I would take those books and put them inside my textbook at class and just read them. I was getting my own education. I read Teal Osborne's book. If you have never bought Teal Osborne's book, Healing the Sick, you should buy it tonight. I think it's 9.99, and you should read it cover to cover, and then when you finish, read it again. And you will never be the same. I got to chapter two. That book doesn't just give you like understanding. His spirit, his impartation is in that book. I finished chapter two on healing the sick. I shut it, got in my car, drove to downtown Providence, Rhode Island, where all the homeless people were, and just practiced. There's no cameras, you know? And I prayed for people. I'm blind. Can you see? No. Did my best. Who else? They must say, practice. As Alan Iverson said, we're talking about practice. I practice. But some people did get healed. I jumped, I jumped out of that dorm room and went downtown. I could not hold what was coming into my spirit, just keep it in my mind. I had to do it. Real revelation makes you a doer of God's word. You don't believe in healing, you heal. You don't believe in power, you manifest the power of God. Where they take garments from your body and bring it to those that are sick. Can you say amen? The gift of faith comes on your life. People start coming around you that felt like they weren't gonna make it, and they start saying, wait a minute, I'm not finished yet. After they're around you for about 15 more minutes, they go, No, I'm getting something. 15 more minutes, I can run through a troop and leap over a wall. That unction's coming on you tonight. You're not gonna be held down by the things that held your family down. You're going over tonight, you're coming out with a victory tonight. This is your night to have an encounter with the power of God. Can you say amen? Can you say a better amen? You know, you I don't know if you heard me say it or not. My wife's oldest brother. They got bounced out of their family car, hitting a pothole in New York. No car seat back in the early 80s. Hit a pothole, door goes ajar, kid bounces out. Hits the pavement at 20 some miles an hour, life-flighted to whatever hospital in New York, put him on full life support, breathing, feeding, everything. He's gonna die. We're gonna have to pull the plug. He's not responding. My mother-in-law said, Can I wait till the morning time? My sisters are driving in from Boston. Can they say bye to him? We'll give you till 8 a.m. My father-in-law, who wasn't even close to a Christian, but every Puerto Rican knew who GJ Avalo was. Because he shook Puerto Rico by miracles. Miracles, signs, and wonders. And he's preaching in the Bronx that night. It was a setup. And my father-in-law is a he's big now and he's 80. He's a big old mechanic with big old hands. And he'd storm back to the back room past the ushers and said, GJ, my son's dying. I need you to come raise him out of the bed. And GJ took his uh suitcoat pocket scarf and said, I can't. There's people here to preach, they hear me preach, thousands of them. Poured the oil on his uh handkerchief, said, Take this and rub it on your son, and he'll live and not die. And you know, Jesse DuPlantis calls it the unconscious, the unconscious obedience of an unbeliever. Have you never been taught? Well, is that that handkerchief? I don't know if I believe that word of faith. Just do what you're told. Took it, went to the hospital, brushed my mother-in-law out of the way, and started rubbing the cloth all over his three-year-old son's body on full life support. And my mother-in-law thought he was practicing Santa Ria. She said, Don't do that. That's what he held her off with one hand and did what the man of God said, and then went home. Didn't even watch to see whether it worked or not. And my mother-in-law went home, received her sisters at about four in the morning, and then drove to the hospital, got there at six. They're gonna have two hours with the son before they yank the plug. Came around the corner and walked in the room. Jose's up with all his tubes up, eating cereal, went, Hi, mom. That's right. That's a true story. I don't believe in miracles. Come to Pittsburgh, I'll come show you one. I'm one too. This mouth didn't work. Can you say amen? You don't just believe in miracles, you start becoming one. You start, you not only have signs and wonders of follow, you become a sign and a wonder. All of you tonight are entering into that territory. You're not just gonna believe in Jesus, you're gonna show forth the works of Christ wherever you go. Can you say amen? Hallelujah.

unknown 1:27:03

Thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:05

I'm glad there was a preacher in the Bronx that day that when somebody said, My son's dying, and then say, Lord, help us to understand that we don't always understand your way. No. He said, Oh, you're it's a little, I you know, that's a sometimes we have to accept. Take that and rub it on your son, and everything's gonna be all right. I started telling you about that preacher that was shaking. He said, I went, I went, I went to go see my old Pentecostal dad. He said, Why are your hands shaking? He said, I said, I was sitting across, he said, Dad, I've lost everything. My wife's gone, my money's all gone, I don't have anything, I don't even have furniture. And he said, Uh it's so messed me up, I can't stop shaking. And his old Pentecostal dad went, Well, that's gonna stop now. And he said, as soon as he said it, I quit shaking. It's called what it's called authority, it's called telling the devil to shut up, it's called telling him to back off, quit making things a prayer. Project and say enough is enough tonight. I tell the devil to take his hand off my life. In Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable, whether it's convenient or inconvenient, whether it's welcome or unwelcome. Just keep preaching. They didn't really receive me there. Who cares? Keep preaching. Can you say amen? Don't stop. That's what I'm telling you why. We never should, not only did we not shut our ministry down during COVID, I booked a meeting for the end of March. So I won't just be running my mouth on YouTube saying how we shouldn't shut churches down. Huntington, Texas. Went and preached. Because the Bible says keep preaching. What kind of moron got caught off guard that there was a plague? There's a new incurable disease. Yes. You wanna know what the old English word for that is? Plague. And Jesus said, before I come back, he didn't say there'd be a plague. He said there'd be plagues. Did you hear there's a new verse? Yeah, and there'll be one after that. Because the devil, and you know what? If you listen to preaching, Kenneth Hagin was preaching in California, and every church and every high school was shut down for what they called Asian flu. People were getting sick and dying. And he kept his reading going right in the middle of it. Nothing new. Say with me. The devil has no new tricks. And the Bible will make you aware of his devices. You gotta be careful how you preach this because I'm not saying to be an idiot. At the same time, there is a mandate from God to gather together more often instead of less often as you see the day of the Lord approaching. Amazing. They didn't call in Buddhists and say this might rattle your faith. They didn't call in Muslims and say this might rattle your faith. Or Hindus. Are there no Hindus in America? There are Hindus in America. We're in like Crawfordville, Indiana. How come you only call in one group and say this is gonna rattle your faith? That lets you know right up front the whole point is to shake the faith of the people of God. But you know what? What a stupid plan. You should have done that seven years ago. Because people are in this room in mass, E-N space, M-A-S-S-E. A lot of, not a few. There's a lot of people in this room that seven years ago, if they showed you aliens on the news, it would have rattled your faith because there's barely anything to rattle anyway. But that COVID stuff that was meant to wipe the church out, it backfired in the devil's face. Where instead of getting rattled, people started to plug into the Bible and find an unfired church. And now the devil's gonna find out our faith is too strong to be shaken by anything. Come on, take 30 seconds and clap your hands. Too loaded to fail, too strong to be defeated. Shut Holy Ghost power! Put your hand on your belly, close both eyes, lift your other hand to the Lord, say thank you, Jesus, for the Holy Ghost power, the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, dwells in me, and is quickening my mortal body. Now lift both hands up and just begin to thank God. Thank him in the Holy Ghost, think him in English, think him in Spanish, think him in whatever language is speaking Fiji. But everybody should open up their mouth and say, Thank you, God!

SPEAKER_01 1:31:59

I'm getting stronger.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:44

Anybody that's like my age, 45 and older, 50 and older, there's a fresh wind coming into your body right now from the Holy Ghost. While your contemporaries are gonna be winding down, you're gonna be firing up any fibroid tumor within the sound of my voice in the lower bodies of women. Come out in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Command your eyes to be clear, command your ears to hear, command you to be able to drive at night, command you to be able to read menus and steakhouses. Don't concede one inch to the devil. Command you be able to have babies, young people that are here in the name of Jesus, fresh oil, fresh oil, fresh oil. In Jesus' name. Julia. Lift both hands right there. An even greater. I think I wrote to you on Instagram when you posted that thing of you preaching that you did a great job, but even greater. By impartation, the anointing to preach. Receive it in the name of Jesus. In Jesus' name. I pray for this lady in the green t-shirt. Come around. Power of God's on you. Stupid devil. What a failure. What an absolute failure. Anyone grow up in church and they said, if the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his. You can also remind him of his past because he sucked them too. Everything he planned failed. I like that song. Uh, everything the devil plant planned, God made it fail. You ever heard that? God made it fail. You know what? God, uh maybe I made it up. Face me, lift your hands. Put one hand on your belly, quickening power to your kidneys, quickening power to your pancreas, and quickening power in the same area to another thing that's causing pain. In Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus. Quickening power. Raise that little boy up out of bed by the power of the Holy Ghost. Stay on your feet, I'll wrap up. I got a long drive home. I got a call from a pastor in um Alaska, Text, Daniel Bracken. He was like two weeks out of drug rehab, and because he's tall and muscular, they made him a catcher at the church he started going to, which was a full gospel church, King's Cathedral in Kahalui, Maui, with Dr. Jim Morocco. This is 30 some years ago, close to 40 years ago. He's been saved two weeks, two weeks at Area. And so he goes, uh they ask him, you know, he doesn't even know what catching is. But Brother Shambok's preaching in Hawaii. And he said he's gonna pray for everybody tonight. So they line him up, 3,000 people, and he's got a catch. He said they brought a Filipino grandfather that had like a weird kind of arthritis and was all drawn up, and they had him in a wheelchair. And he said, Brother Shambok said, stand him up. So he said, I helped stand him up, thinking like you know, seems abusive. But they're not yelling at the guy, they're getting ticked off at the disease. And he said, Brother Shamach put both his hands on his face and he said, In the name of Jesus. And he said, when he said Jesus, he said, it was like a flashbang went off. Like that the SWAT team throws. He said, I blew off my feet, and the next thing I knew, a couple seconds later, I opened my eyes and I was underneath a table about eight or nine feet back, and he's a big guy. And he said, I sat up and looked, and that guy's bones were pumping and snapping, and he stood straight up. And Brother Shambok said, Thank God for it, and started going down the line. Say, what's the point of that? That guy has the largest church in the state of Alaska by far. They just built a 1,500-seat church in Alaska, and it's one of the most beautiful churches you'd ever see. Because when you get around that, you don't just watch God work, it changes you on the inside. And something's happening to you right now where you'll never be the same. I've been playing those videos to show you the devil has all kinds of strategies to mess up your life, but he doesn't have any that can mess up somebody that's filled with the Holy Ghost that won't back down. And we'll say, Don't back down. No, you gotta tap into it. When you feel like, you know, when I heard they were gonna arrest me in Camden, New Jersey, I just felt like like laying down on my bed, text, putting on Facebook, a crusade's canceled tonight. That's what my flesh felt like. I said, No. Let's see how real this thing is. I recall at least eight or nine verses for times like these. Let's see if they work or not. Might as well find out at 33 if I'm gonna do this the rest of my life. And sure enough, then you don't realize that as. Where's that scripture? I just looked it up earlier. That your faith would come out as gold refined in the fire, purified by fire. And I will bring. No, that's not it. Where does the Bible say that your that your gold may come out? Uh it's in James. The trials. Yeah. Good job. 1 Peter 1, 7. These trials will show that you're so let me see 6. I don't know what I was talking about. So be truly glad. There's wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. People can't get faith people. He's talking about victory and joy. What about trials? It's right there. There's no, put the verse back. Six. So be truly glad. Oh, he's talking about victory and joy, and this is going to be their year. The Bible talks about trials. I know, right in the same verse. Who cares? You live in the world. There's people that don't like you. There's people that will oppose you, but they don't have power to stop you. Can you say amen? So be truly glad. There's wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. Seven. These trials, God doesn't just bring you through the trial. There's something that happens to you that's positive going through it. You always believe the stuff, but it develops a toughness in you. That's why when you heard Lester Summerall preach, when he was like 75, it wasn't that he was like a great preacher judging it like textbook. It was just you could tell you were listening to a guy that started churches in China and preached in the Soviet Union and preached in Germany when Hitler was in charge. He just was rough. You could tell nobody was taking him down. Now she wants to help. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold, though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. Let me see King James. That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found under praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. So the trials actually will burn the dross out and cause your pure gold faith to shine forth. You don't build faith through trials. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. But you exercise your faith in that time and it causes there to be a trust and a confidence that you have that you didn't have before. I didn't realize when that guy tried to shut me down in 2014 in Camden. It was preparing me for getting shut down in 2020 during COVID. Newark at a bigger level. Now it's just, I've been through this before. No, same devil. Just more true, more cops this time. Instead of one permit guy and a mayor helping me, now the mayor's on the side of the permit guy. No big deal. And every time you go through, you get. I'm telling you right now, if I got a call, like let's say this huntavirus kicked in like COVID, and I got a call, Reverend, you have to shut your church down, I'd probably just hang up the phone. If they sent me a letter from the city, I'd probably trace the outline of my hand with my thumbs down and mail it back. I don't care. You couldn't even get me to pray about it. Do you pray? If you see an ant in your house, do you pray? I hope there's not more. I hope they're not planning an invasion. No. Somehow that insane um analogy got the got the point across. Do ants have strength? Yes. If you watch the science channel, they talk about how strong the ants are and stuff. Do ants have strength compared to you? Even if you're super weak. I would always go back to the gym after fasting and prayer, and my muscles like gone, and I barely had any to begin with. So they'd start off working out with the bar with a five-pound thing on each side. So my my trainer named was Beth. She'd put it on the bar with two five-pound weights. There'd be people around like, let's just wait till the people leave. This is embarrassing. I've told this story before. I was working out in Georgia on the road. That's when I used to work out on the road at an LA fitness, and it was right after fasting. The lady gave me to work out with. I guess they can just tell looking at your arms or whatever. Do you know how if you go too low on the weights, they start being spongy and like fluorescent colors just to humiliate you? So these weights were like lime green. They were like six-pound weights to do curls with. So I'm sitting and doing curls, and I look over, and there's a lady that's like in her late 50s looking at me, shaking her head. She's working out with the same weights, and she's on oxygen. She looked at me and went, I'm dying over here. You're 35. Even if you are physically weak, even if you're weak, you're still there's still no ant that's a match for you. So even if you consider yourself a weak baby, I'm just getting started Christian, there's not a weak baby Jesus living in you. It's like when you get saved, you get baby Jesus. Then if you keep coming to church, you get teenage Jesus. And because he lives, I can live also. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I want to tell you what the devil's about to find out in your life. Just like he tried to shut all the churches down in 2020, 2021. What's happening now? We're in the greatest revival that America's seen since its inception. We're rededicating the nation, which I don't even know if we dedicated it the first time. We're dedicating the nation to God May 17th in Washington, D.C. That's on a Sunday. You know I felt to go down and cover it. Everybody say faith can do anything. We got to call back. The only way you can cover it, you need White House press credentials. So I said to them, get me White House press credentials. And I just got an email yesterday. I got White House press credentials. I can go straight up in the front row with Fox News. How'd you get that? Because I wanted it. Hallelujah. You can write your own ticket with God. You can have what you say. You can call those things that are not.

SPEAKER_01 1:45:12

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:20

What you thinking, Pastor Clarita? What do you got? Dealer's choice. What are you leaning towards? Miracle working, God? What else? It's like karaoke at Buffalo Wild Wings, you get to pick between the three songs. What are you thinking? Miracle working God? You're making me nervous. I'm like, I don't believe you. First time on stage. Miracle working God?

SPEAKER_06 1:45:59

Let's go for it.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:59

Let's do it. We're gonna sing the song. It's very easy. It's got like nine words. He's a miracle-working God. He's the Alpha and Omega. He's a miracle-working God. As you sing this, it's gonna stir your faith. And the Bible says God abides in the praises of his people. Say this with me. God answers my prayers. But God lives in my praise. So as you praise him, don't let people sing for you. Lift your hands and sing it. No one's gonna be able to hear that you can't sing. It's gonna be too loud in here. This isn't an episcopal church where you'll be the only one talking. Let everything that has breath praise ye the Lord. As you sing, the old timer said the praises go up and the blessings come down. Let's take five minutes and sing this together to punch the devil in the head one more time. Go ahead. That was the lightest baby that ever made it out of the NICU in Detroit, Michigan. Two pounds, three ounces. And her lungs never developed, right? And they told her mom she'll never be able to speak above a whisper. But God will take what the devil meant to be your biggest weakness and turn it into your greatest strength. Can you say amen? Say out loud, I don't have any weaknesses. I have God's strength. I went to a ministers' meeting one time when I was 23. I just caught this revelation. And they said uh it was like at one of those type of churches. They said, we're gonna they said it's in groups of 11. Want everybody to write down their greatest weakness, and then we're gonna talk about it. So everybody's going around. I've suffered with insecurity. I'll tell you what, my greatest weakness isn't telling 10 strangers what my weakness is. Did you ever read Samson? So they got to me, what's your greatest weakness? I flipped my car around and went, nothing. And I know because where no, we all have weaknesses. Doesn't the Bible say that where I am weak, that his strength is perfected in your weakness because you have to lean on him. Somebody just I'm still waiting to find one Bible reason why I have to have a bad day. We all battle depressions, and a depression battles me. I'm a walking joy bomb wherever I go. Can you say amen? We all battle sickness. No, I don't battle it. The Bible says you'll lay your hands on the sick and the sick will recover. Camila heard me preaching that all during COVID. Our hands don't spread disease. Our hands are anointed to heal the sick. And then we're right as COVID was lifted in 2023. I was up in my office. She went to use my office bathroom. I heard the toilet flush. Then she just walked straight out. I said, Camila, did you wash your hands? She went, COVID's over. I said, I know, there's still some things we're going to carry with us. Get your little poopy hands under that sink. You say amen. Hey, uh, Tess, can you get can you get Camila op uh closing the service out tonight at a Dallas' women's conference? It touched my heart. That was a real prayer from a praying little girl. Praise God. How many of you can tell God's already strengthened you? Then say it out loud, and I'm getting stronger every day. We're not to be disrespectful to people. You know? But sometimes, you know, like a Camila came home one time like three three three years ago. Teacher said, I have trouble learning. I said, Maybe she has trouble teaching. Camila went like this. I said, You should tell her. She went, I think I'd get in trouble. I said, Yeah, you're probably right. Who said it's your fault? I think you're great. Can you say amen? Yeah. That's why I don't go to the parent teacher conferences anymore. The last time I went was in first grade, and the teacher said, Your daughter's having trouble reading. I said, I noticed. That's why we sent her to school. Sounds like a you problem. Hallelujah. They would say, I refuse to be discouraged. But most of you want to reacted like that. I'm not saying you've got to talk like a knucklehead like me, but you'd have come, Pastor, I need prayer. My daughter's having trouble reading. Who cares? First of all, she's seven. She Henry David Thoreau. Shoulder. Some people take a little longer. They would say, relax. Quit focusing on what's wrong and praise God for what's right. And as you do it, it'll fill in what's wrong. Can you say amen? I would like to pray for my friend here with the Fu Manchu and the nice button-up pattern shirt, blue and white. May I pray for you? You. Yes. However, you want to come up here. Power of God's been on you for a long time tonight. Praise God. I can't say I always feel this way, but I'm I'm sad I'm leaving. I had a great time this week. I really like. Lift both hands. A powerful anointing is coming on your body right now. All through your body. That's right, now you cry happy tears. Praise God. That's more like it. That's the kind of crying I like. Praise God. Any luck, Miss Tessa? No problem. Praise God. Lift your hands one more time. Go and sing that anointing fall on me. Take it now. It's here now. You're doubling now. In Jesus' name. Can I pray for your wife? I've never heard you preach before, so this is definitely not like a backhanded way of saying anything. I just am praying right now because I know the Lord's going to take your preaching ministry to another level where there's going to be a greater power on it. So I've not heard you and felt like it was. That's why I'm saying that, because sometimes you wonder if the person heard you and felt you needed help. I don't. But I'm telling you, the Lord's doubling what's on your preaching. Then I'm going to tell you a second thing. Most women's meetings I noticed are set up to have lousy meetings. It's always a luncheon or you know, it's like it's set up where like nothing can happen. But when they give you the mic, you're going to feel like you're not doing anything different, and it's going to shoot through that place like a wave. Women will start putting their forks and knives down and crying and getting healed. And the anointings that you've been around, you're going to carry and to carry them at an even stronger level. In Jesus' name. You'll replicate the meetings that you loved as a little girl down on the road. Healed in your body and be strengthened. And more strength. And power. In Jesus' name. Do the work of the ministry and stand down. Whatever the enemy sends your way. And discouraging people. And lousy Facebook comments and all that chunk. That extra attack that goes against women to discourage them. I lose strength to laugh in the face of that devil the rest of your life. In Jesus' name. Amen. Thanks for being here tonight. Whatever the greatest desire of your heart is personally, I join my faith with you and loosen to you right now by the anointing. Before the end of this year. A personal gift from God. In Jesus' name. Amen. Praise God. How many more minutes, Miss Tess? You can say, I'm not, I'm not like very happy. Oh, a couple seconds. Everybody say the anointing. Knows no age. I was packing my suitcases and I had my Dallas' women's meeting on. And I I guess I don't guess they swung it to Camila to close out that prayer she prayed over those women. They had a blowout Holy Ghost service tonight. It was powerful. I actually told him, I said, don't cut to me, because they like to cut it off to go to this service. Or keep it, keep it there. And they said, it's it's over. She ended it. I'm telling you, it was a blowout. I'm not saying that I had a bias for my wife. It was it was a powerful, one of the most powerful meetings I've I've ever watched. Especially one of the most powerful meetings I've watched in the last 15 years, anywhere. Take a look. So here's my little girl. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:55

Just so everybody on your feet.

SPEAKER_02 1:59:59

Why don't we welcome my own? What happened to her? I missed that part. I was packing in another room. She's too hot in the building, so she laid out. She's been preaching twice a day. Keep going.

SPEAKER_03 2:00:10

SPEAKER_02 2:00:18

In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen. Thank you so much for coming.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:01

No, no, no, no, no. Is there more? Then she just like made her meeting, talked about the product table. You know how she prayed like that one time? I had her on the road with me last summer, and she was she'd pray like that to open the meeting up. And then we were at this dead church, and when we drove home, she went, she was quiet, and she went, Hey, Pa. I said, Yeah. She went, I don't really want to pray for those people anymore. I said, I know the feeling. Lift your hands one more time. Because I want to pray for these people. I like these people. Uh this is row one, two, three, four. Right in front of me. Row four. Lift your hands up even higher. As you do the power of God that's on you comes on even stronger. Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

It's a fact. Bring it to me. She just thinks I'm making fun of her. I had a black one on just like you. Come on. I know. Brought one too. I pray for you. Father, thank you for healing and for authority over sickness and disease. I'm gonna tell you something.

Thank you for coming tonight. Glad you're here. Can you say praise the Lord? Can I pray for you? Praise the Lord. Thank you, Jesus. That's it. Go right through you. Thank you. In Jesus' name. Amen. You know, I we have a family friend that's in the ministry. He's probably in his 60s now. He was a champion martial artist. He actually developed his own strain of martial arts and would do the demos and all that. So the guys from the martial arts demo, he invited them to come here and preach at night, and people were being slain in the spirit. And um they met with him after and went, when we do the demos tomorrow, you can't do that stuff. They were like serious. But he was like using it as a martial arts to knock people out. We don't know how to defend against that. I want um Pastor Kofi, I want Pastor Michael, Pastor Cal. Anybody that's a senior pastor of a church that would like prayer. You don't have to have prayer. But I want to pray for you right now. A very specific no, it's good. Right there's fine. There's not like a hundred coming. Praise God. Just lift your hands across the front. Now, Father, I thank you for doubling their churches by December 31st. 100 to 200, 200 to 400, 300 to 600. Like tangible doubling, not prophetic doubling, not a feeling of doubling. You already doubled? Double again. Double. In Jesus' name. Thank you for physical, the strength it takes to preach and pastor. I lose it in abundance into your body. Jesus. I want to tell you something. I meant to text you, but I got distracted playing video games. I actually respect that you stayed home with your kids all week and then drop them off with some intern. I was gonna say, you're a you're a good man. I really respect you. Be blessed. Be super blessed. Jesus' name. Everything. Hold her up. Don't let her fall. All of you lift your hands. I command you to double. Promotions. No more unpleasant surprises. Rest of this year it's pleasant surprises. Promotions. Checks in the mail. Daily loaded down with benefits. Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. Receive that tonight in Jesus' name. Receive that tonight in Jesus' name. If you receive it, let your amen be the loudest. Let me pray for this lady with the blue. You have blue on? Blue, blue top. No, her. Yeah, you know what? You too. Both of you. And since we're, yes. Her and you. Yes. No, the other lady too. Lift your hands right there. Hips, knees, feet.

SPEAKER_06 2:13:48

Be healed.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:52

One last thing that remains. The Lord takes it away. One last thing the enemy was using trying to mess your life up. Tonight you're free from it. Be healed in your body. Put this in on your belly. That's it. Go right in here. In Jesus' name. Take it. In the name of Jesus. Every head bowed, every eye closed. If you're here tonight and you've never made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, you must do that tonight. Let Jesus heal you from the inside out. Let deep hurts that you've tried to drink away, therapy away, medicate away, they'll never go away. But the blood of Jesus will wash it away for free tonight when you surrender your life. He'll heal you from the inside out. If you'll turn your back on sin and make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, He does a healing work way down on the inside of you, where a therapist and a surgeon can't reach, but Jesus will reach there tonight. Things you've battled since you were little, they leave you tonight. When you lay yourself at the foot of the cross. If you're here tonight and you say, I want Jesus Christ. I want him to heal me from the inside out. I want to give my life to him. I want him to save me. I want you to say, Jonathan, when you pray, I want to be included in that prayer. I want you to put your hand up and wave it at me right now. I'm going to pray for you in Jesus' name. I see you. Who else? I see you. Awesome. Everyone that lifted a hand, quickly step out of your seat. Join me at the front. Go ahead and encourage them as they come.

SPEAKER_06 2:15:32

Oh I surrender. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:33

Put your hands across the front, pray this prayer with me. And even as you're praying it, God's going to answer that prayer and do a deep work on the inside of you that only he can. Oh awesome. Go ahead. Happy noy. Both hands lifted to the Lord. Say this out loud. Heavenly Father, I've come forward today to give you my life. I turn my back on sin. I give you my heart. 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. I am forgiven. I am clean. In Jesus' name. Amen.
