SPEAKER_06Put up 1 Samuel chapter 5, verse 1. I want to show you something out of the Bible. After the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant, they took it from the battleground of Ebenezer to the town of Ashdod. They carried the Ark of God into the temple of Dagon and placed it beside an idol of Dagon. So this is their main satanic temple with their main satanic idol. That Ark of the Covenant wasn't doing any praying, any fasting. It was wood. But it carried the power of God. And the Bible says, Know ye not, it was never the will of God to dwell in vessels made of human hands. Know ye not who's the temple of the Holy Ghost? You. So picture what it's given you here is a picture. But when the citizens of Ashd went to see it the next morning, Dagon had fallen with his face to the ground in front of the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon, they were too stupid to realize what happened. They took the idol and put it back in its place. You know, the janitor came in. That never happened before. Puts it back up. Then they come in the next day, verse 4. Then the next morning, the same thing happened. Dagon had fallen face down before the Ark of the Lord. This time his head and hands had broken off and were lying in the doorway, and only the trunk of his body was left intact. This has given me, you give me seated. This has given me a major. I remember I was teaching on this. I woke up in the morning to do um, I was on uh whatever that Christian network is out of Florida. I can't think of it at the moment. Christian Television Network. So I was going to Christian television network to go on live, and I was going to teach on 1 Samuel chapter 5. And when I woke up, a lot of times God will have you demonstrate what he's having you teach, or he's putting something on your heart because you're going to need it. Can you say amen? Like one morning in Dallas, Texas, or trophy club where my house was that we leased, I was meditating on the scripture, um, how Jesus gave them authority to cast out devils and to tread on serpents and scorpions. And I opened my shower and there was a scorpion. I thought, well, I guess this is gonna be an illustrated sermon for for me this morning. And uh that's what happened this morning. So I'm meditating on that, and I got a text from my friend who quit texting me. He had gone silent for about three months, quit going to church, and he had been a drug addict and gone to jail for drugs, so I figured he relapsed, but I didn't have any way to get a hold of him. So um then I got a text when I woke up in the morning. It just said help. So I wrote, Where are you? He told me the address. I said, I'm gonna go do uh television and then I'm gonna go see you. So I uh I finished television and then I was gonna change into like normal clothes because if I'm going to a drug flop house, I felt a little overdressed in a three-piece suit. But then I thought, if the place gets raided, uh it'd probably be good for me to look like a pastor and say, I'm here to pray for somebody. So I went in, and because this verse was fresh on my spirit, I decided to do what the Ark of the Covenant did. I just sat down next to him on the couch. He's shaking and sweating, and uh I'm so sorry I messed up, but I didn't say anything. Just kept talking. And then after about eight minutes, which seemed like an eternity, he goes, You know, I'm actually starting to feel better just with you sitting by me. I said, Good. You know, it's better than saying I'm actually feel worse with you by me than I was on drugs. So that's a start. And then uh sat a little while, and then he he he said, Would you pray with me? I said I will. And I prayed. And then I said, Um, what do you what's the next step? You know, I grew up in a preacher's house. I don't know what you do when you get on drugs. So I said, can I put you into rehab? He said, Before rehab, you have to go to detox. So we set that up. But when he asked me to pray, I said, I just felt if I'm gonna pray for him, might as well clear this whole place out. So I yelled real loud, everybody, and I won't demonstrate it because I don't feel like it, but I have a mic, slamming my hands together. Everybody come now. Jesus sent me here to deliver you. Say that with me as practice. Say, Jesus sent me to help you. That makes people receive you a little different than just saying whatever else uh you're gonna say. You have to, everybody say, embrace the supernatural. Now that now that you're saved, you should see yourself as an ambassador of the kingdom of heaven that's saying you don't gotta walk into Starbucks and say it, but if you want, you can. It'll freak some people out. A lot of times you'll get your coffee quicker because they want you out of there. Everybody say, I I've been sent for I've been sent by Jesus to help you. Get the video if you can find it, uh, Tessa, of when I went to the tent cities just before COVID just to try this out. This is when it was all fresh in my spirit. So um, because this scripture shows you that you should be able to walk in anywhere. Now, most Christians, where we're going, is very demonic, and there's a principality over that place. You'd have a hard time going to a place that's more demonic than a demonic temple. And then the ark couldn't move, couldn't ask for prayer, and couldn't have other arcs come and pray with it for encouragement. It's sitting there, cleared out. There was a force coming from that that knocked down a physical idol. And so I want you to see tonight that that's what you are. Before you even now, God gives you ways to release the anointing. You can spit in people's eyes. I'm not teaching that as a doctrine, but Jesus did do that. You can you can you can uh Jesus breathed on them to receive the Holy Ghost, the garments that came from Paul, you can go down a whole list of ways that you release the anointing, but you should see yourself as like there's no windows in this room. If we shut all the lights off, then it gets dark without anybody inviting the darkness in. But if we turn one light on, no one has to pray in tongues and the light quickly advances. Say with me, light drives out darkness. And then Jesus said, While I'm in the world, I am the light of the world. But after I leave, who's the light of the world? You. Very good. You are the ye are the light, not of the church. Some people, A, they reject the supernatural, B, if they get into it, it's just like to get it out of their system for an hour and 45 minutes on a Sunday and then go back to normal. But I'm telling you, this works in a drug house in the bad part of Pittsburgh. Well, that and all I was doing was sitting there. When I said everybody come, uh everybody came. The door started opening, the meth addicts came very fast, heroin addicts came slower, but they all came. And I said, Jesus sent me here to help you. Everybody put your hands in the middle, and I grabbed their hands and I began to pray for them. And then I said, Now say this prayer with me. And they they prayed the sinner's prayer. And uh I gave them some counsel, but I left with the guy that I came to leave with. And um, he got free and then started going to church and got right with God. I'll give you another one. After he got free, because of what I did for him, he told me, anytime you need a haircut, let me know and I'll open my barber shop and cut your hair. So he probably regretted telling me that because he would get texts at like 1 45 a.m. Friday night when I'd flown back from a meeting, and I took him up on that. Well, Sunday his barbershop was closed. In fact, I think Tesla have the picture of this. I hadn't seen a dollas in a while, and I took her to the barbershop with me. And I said, I'm just going real quick, then we'll go out to eat. So I went, I had gone to church, I didn't preach, and then I went to his barbershop. There was another guy in there that was a friend of his that I guess he knew from the drug world. As I sat down to get my hair cut, I said hi. And then I sat down, and that guy stands up and says this to me. I mean, no, nobody told him I'm a preacher or anything. You might believe demons are fake, but I can tell you they're real. I said, Oh God. I guess I'm not off the clock today. He he said, Um, you you can you can call me crazy or whatever you want to call me, but there's a demon that won't leave me alone until I've smoked crack. So I said, he was approaching me, and he was basically uh about on the line of full-out manifestation mode. And Adolis looked like she immediately regretted. Like, why can't you just go to a salon? This doesn't happen here. And so uh she actually took pictures of what happened and videoed it. So first I told him, sit down and shut up, which is a great first thing to say to somebody that's demon-possessed, especially if they're coming towards you. You don't have to wait till someone it's good to stay out of arm's length of people that you get the feeling don't like you. Can you say amen? Can you believe he hit me? Yes, I can believe it. People do that. So he sat back down and then I started preaching from my seat. It's like I didn't even think what to do. I just started talking to him about I said, when I finish my haircut, because I um everybody said I'm gonna get what I came for. Don't let the devil interrupt your business. So I said, Well, as soon as my haircut's done, I'm gonna come over and pray for you, and Jesus is gonna set you free. And so I went over. He was a big, strong guy, so I told him, stay seated. And uh, you know, it's a good wrestling position. If he started to manifest, you have the upper ground. So then I laid hands on him and I prayed for him, and I cast the devils out, and then he got up and hugged me, and I prayed the sinner's prayer with him. And he said, Um, when I was 12 years old, I was in foster care. The family that adopted me had me diagnosed with a disease, a mental disease, so that they could get an extra check from the government. And he said, That drug they put me on messed my brain up. He said, Every year from the time I was 12 till now, I've spent all or part of each year in a psychiatric ward or in prison. And he said, I felt that go when you prayed for me, and today's my 50th birthday. I said, Well, happy birthday from Jesus. He gave me a hug. If if Tessa can find that one, you get a gold star because that one that one would be buried a long time ago. So that's another place. So you have the drug house, then you have an out the whole time I was preaching to him from my seat, the barber, because I administered him, was going, that's what I was telling you about, bro. That was like his amen. I I experienced it too. So that guy got set free. He started coming to church at the church we went to back then. I want to show you that if you'll embrace the supernatural, you become a light that clears out darkness and anything that's related to darkness. What does the Bible relate? Everybody say darkness. When I say darkness, I'm referring to the work of the devil. Somebody give me something that in scripture, there it is, that in scripture is a hundred. Oh, it's the video. I believe in my heart. I confess with my mouth. Jesus Christ is my king. My Lord and Savior. Thank you for coming into my heart. Thank you for restoring my life. In Jesus' name. And let me pray for you. Father, as I bring my friend on his 56th, maybe the eve of his 56th birthday, into your kingdom and into your family. I thank you that your word is clear that when he's in your kingdom and your family, the enemy cannot touch it. So whatever happened up until today, I thank you. Yeah, so then I guess she quit she quit filming there. But then they sent me a picture. You know, at the secret sensitive churches, they have people that hold signs. You look beautiful today. Welcome to church, whatever, whatever. He was one of the guys standing outside the church when I was on the road doing that, and they said, You're that guy you told the story about is in church. Can you say amen? So say with me light drives out darkness. According to the Bible, what's something that a hundred percent of the time is a work of darkness? Demon power, sickness and disease. It's quiet. Sickness and disease is not a part of the change of seasons, it's not a part of bird watching in Chile and getting hantavirus. Sickness and disease is the offspring of Satan and sin. I'm gonna show it to you in the Bible because I'm getting about 11% amen. Job 2-7. Job 2-7. Who's the author of sickness and disease? So Satan left the Lord's presence and struck Job with terrible boils from head to foot, which is interesting because people use Job as like, well, I know they preach healing, but what about Job? Sometimes God makes people sick. God didn't make Job sick. Satan went forth from the presence of God and smote Job with boils. It says so in all caps right there. Luke chapter 13, verse 10. Luke 13, 10. One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue. He saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for 18 years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness. Then he touched her and instantly she could stand up straight. Oh, how she praised God. But the leader in charge of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath day. I want you to see this. That from Jesus' day till now, there's been a fight that religion wants to have services that don't have the power of God. And when you bring it, people get upset. They don't want that. That's not for Sundays. There's a lot of people in our church that aren't ready for that. I know I seem impolite, and I am a lot of times, but also people should be glad I do have some polite. I was talking to a pastor in uh Canada, and he said, um, someone said you should bring he said this to me. I don't know what's what do you think I'm supposed to take this as? Our people, uh one of our people said, You should bring Jonathan in. I said, I don't think our people are ready for him. I felt like saying, you've been pastoring there for 20 years. Why aren't they ready for me yet? What are you waiting for? Why do you send people on a retreat to get healed or summer camp to get the baptism of the Holy Ghost? Jesus showed that church should be a place where the power of God moves when the people come there. Can you say amen? The leader in charge of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had angry, that his own congregant got healed. There's six days of the week to come for healing. Come on those days, but not the Sabbath. But Jesus said, Thou idiota, hypocrite, you fraud. You know, hypocrites not something anybody says now outside of church, so it doesn't carry any weight. But it'd be like calling somebody a fraud. You fraud. Called the leader that in his own church. You fraud. That's why, why do you think Jesus was always preaching out in the desert? Because he wasn't organized enough to secure a venue? He was banned from every temple in Israel, and anyone claiming he was the Messiah was also banned from every temple. So this is how he got banned. This will get you thrown out of church. You fraud. You work on the Sabbath. Don't you untie your ox or your donkey from its stall on the Sabbath and leave it out for water? And what? This dear woman, a daughter of Abraham, has been held in bondage by who? Jesus sought as a work of Satan for 18 years. Isn't it right that she be released even on the Sabbath? This shamed his enemies. But all the people rejoiced at the wonderful things he did. You guys are a great crowd. I want to thank you for coming out all week. This has been enjoyable. Acts 10.38. Here's a third one. In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let a thing be established. And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power. It was say embrace the supernatural. Even Jesus, before he began his ministry, went into a period of fasting and prayer and came back endued in the power of the Holy Spirit. You can't, I mean, you can. I was gonna say you can't do ministry without the Holy Spirit, but you're gonna end up on a stool in a t-shirt drinking a strawberry refresher, wondering if you believe in Noah's Ark. You need to, you need to embrace for the visitors, just a quick snippet of the video. This is a pastor.
SPEAKER_10So, why do we still go to church? Besides the fact that we started one, and I guess we should show it. Um for me, uh, as I may have just given away, uh, I'm a little bit uncomfortable with spirituality, uh with miracles, with um God supernaturally intervening in our world. Um and when I say I'm a little bit uncomfortable, I might not even believe that it happens at all.
SPEAKER_06Alright, bring it back to me. That's what happens when you're a man and you drink strawberry refreshers. It messes your doctrine up. To which you might reply, you're taking your awful bone to take a shot at his drink wearing that jacket, to which I would reply. Mind your own business. I was in Hillcrest all day yesterday, and I don't know. I just started shopping differently. And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. You know, you got I got a problem with God intervening supernaturally in the affairs of life. Does the devil intervene? Sure he does. Isn't it interesting when they busted uh the Matamoros drug cartel and they they killed that leader and raided his place, that they found altars set up to the devil with saints and blood sacrifice? I'm gonna tell you something. I know this might be a little heavy for Southern California, but you got three choices in life. You can be an NPC that goes to work, pays your bills, and exists under yourself. But if you want to do something, uh you got two choices if you're gonna make impact in life. You can either get the power of the devil, and Satan said in Luke chapter 4, the wealth and kingdoms of this world are mine to give to whomever I choose, for they've been delivered unto me. So if you're gonna do whether it's drug cartels, everything they find out. People that are in leadership, building why do they have a temple at Epstein's Island? There's demonic power when people go into power. Or I would recommend choice three, which I'm not just gonna go to church. I'm not just gonna read the Bible. I'm gonna let the Bible come alive on the inside of me. I'm not gonna shut the supernatural power of God. I'm gonna let God fill me with the Holy Ghost and power and do what He's called me to do and trample the devil under my feet. I know you've made that decision tonight. Let God hear that you're ready for it. Clap your hands and give the Lord a mighty shout. And no doubt you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. Um anybody here speak Spanish as their first language? All right, good. Uh give me the word anointed in Spanish. I thought it's uncione. Unciom. There's division in the crowd. Unción, tell me, uh Ileana, what does Uncione mean if you're gonna explain it to a gringo? Gringo, in gringo. In gringo, for you repeating. Yeah, but what is anointing? What's unction? What is it? I don't know what anointing is. What is it in English? What's unction in English? Unction. Unction. I like that word, and that's why you never read a scripture like um the spirit of the Lord came upon Elijah and he laid down and took a rest. You always read the spirit of the Lord came upon Elijah and he outran the king's chariot, or like there, just pop out of your barber chair and pray for that guy. There's an unction or a strength where you feel to say or feel to do something. It's God's supernatural empowerment on your body, causing flesh to do godlike things. Can you say amen? And when Jesus got anointed with the Holy Ghost and power, he didn't just shake or pray or dance. He went about doing and healing how many? I mean, no, it's not always God's will. Though God can heal, it's not always his will. No, he healed how many? Does Jesus change? Will Jesus ever change? Hebrews 13:8. Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever. So he healed all then, he heals all now. Who were oppressed? God was the healer. Who's the oppressor? They were oppressed by who? The devil, for God was with them. Sickness and disease, John Alexander Dowie said, is the foul offspring of its father Satan and its mother sin. How many children's hospitals were there in the Garden of Eden? How many pediatric cancer centers are going to be in the New Jerusalem? Zero. When the devil's off the scene, sickness clears out. And now that Christ is in your life and the devil's cleared out, I expect every one of you to walk out of here healthy and strong because the devil has no right on your life. Can you say amen? So if light clears out darkness, it clears out, you know, the more tangible you make it, the more ethereal you make it, the less impact. You know, we're just clearing out. We're taking authority over darkness and say, No, don't take authority over it generally. Find people who are bound, that are open, that engage you in, you know, when somebody starts talking to you. I wouldn't have gone and prayed for that guy in the barbershop that's 56 years old. He started talking to me. And that lets you know if the devil's talking, that means you are carrying something that unsettles him where it where he can't remain hidden. Can you say amen? Put Acts 28, verse 1. Looks like I'm not gonna get to any of the points tonight either. Once we were safe on shore, we learned that we were. The island of Malta. The people of the island were very kind to us. It was cold and rainy, so they built a fire on the shore to welcome us. As Paul gathered an armful of sticks and was laying them on the fire, a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, bit him on the hand. The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other, a murderer, no doubt, though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live. But Paul shook off the snake. Remember, I said there's a way to make the devil a non-factor in your life. He didn't pray about the snake, he didn't curse the poison. It would say, Shake it off. He shook the snake into the fire and was unharmed. This is an illustration. The same fire that exposes the snake destroys the snake. That's how if a demon-possessed person manifests, you know, you shouldn't get nervous. You should think, hey, we got enough fire in this meeting that that devil can't stay hidden in the wood pile. He's popping up. And the same fire that reveals the snake destroys the snake. I'm going to tell you, if you're a minister, you should light fires in your church. You should have special services. Because if you don't, people that are carrying snakes, child molesters, whoever, they can stay in that church untroubled. But when you let the fire fall, every snake gets driven out and destroyed by the power of God. I tell you again today, every snake that's in and around your life and family, it's coming out whether it wants to or not. In Jesus' name. So sickness is of the devil. Let me see 1 John 3.8. If you treat sickness as normal, you're going to be sick a lot. If you treat it as an enemy to your redemption, then you'll have the proper violence in your spirit to throw it out. You can always tell when somebody's praying for somebody, whether they see it as a demonic intrusion or whether, oh God, she battles this depression. He's not a thief. You'll see it as an attack. I don't accept. I don't accept this snake. Paul and say, Well, figures, there's snakes on this island. Just let it hang from his arm. It would say, shake it off. So you learn what to shake off from the Bible. I'm not having divorce. I'm not having children that don't serve the Lord. I'm not having bankruptcy. I'm not having inadequacy of funds. Anything that Bible tells me I don't have to have, I shake it off in Jesus' name. One more time. Every snake that's trying to attach itself to you, the power of God fills you tonight, and you shake that sucker off back into the fire in Jesus' name. If you receive that, go ahead and do what you're already doing. In Jesus' name. When people keep on sinning, here's a verse they probably haven't read in uh church in a while in America. When people keep on sinning, I mean we all sin. No. When people keep on sinning, it shows they belong to the devil who has been sinning since the beginning. But for this reason was the Son of God made manifest that he might what? Destroy what? So say this with me. God has a destroying side to him. He doesn't comfort people that are being attacked from the devil, he destroys the work of the devil. When he saw a man that had been crippled for 38 years and knew how long he had been that way, he didn't say, Sorry, buddy, but one day you're gonna get new legs up in heaven. No. He said, Would you like to get better? That guy was just minding his own business. Jesus attacked sickness because sickness is a work of the devil and he came to destroy the work of the devil. That lady was minding her own business. Jesus, saw her, knew she had been that way for 18 years, bent double, and touched her, and she stood straight up. When he saw sickness, he slapped it. When he saw problems, he went after him. You've been trained in Christianity to just like accept it, wonder how long the snake. If Paul was an American Christian, he would have gone to church the next Sunday with a snake hanging from his arm and said, Can you pray that this snake gets off my arm? But you don't have to pray for things that you can throw down yourself. You can take authority over the power of the devil. You can tell the devil enough is enough. You can say, I'm done putting up with this attack. I take my victory in Jesus Christ today. Can you say amen? So I want to show you this because this was interesting to me. I said it jokingly. How many of you were here last night? I said it jokingly last night. But I said I went to that, I didn't realize it, but I went uh on Yelp and just found a good barber, and it was in Hillcrest, which when I went there, I found out is uh what they call a gay burhood. Saves time from saying gay neighborhood, just combine it. So I was already committed to getting the hair cut. So I thought, again, for me, I don't care. Because you're not gonna overwhelm me, but I have something that can overwhelm you. So I'm sitting there minding my own business. We get to talking. The guy that's cutting my hair is from, he's got a mom from Turkey and a dad from United Arab Emirates. So he's Middle Eastern. And then he asked me what I do. I said, I'm a pastor. He goes, Oh, I've converted to Christianity and told me about how he ran a contract for a company in Nigeria, and the building next door was a redeemed Christian Church of God. And the pastor, he said, was so friendly and would invite me to his things, I ended up receiving Jesus, and he's going to church here in San Diego. Then the other barber walks in. The owner wasn't there, the lady that sent me the text message. She's the one I called to make the appointment. And so he comes in and uh we start talking. And I start talking to him, you know, in this place with a rainbow flag over. He started talking about health. And I said, Well, if you're into health, I said, regardless of who you voted for, that's one of the good things about the Trump administration, which I thought some people were going to get whiplashed from how quick they whip their head around when I said Trump. I don't think that word had been said in that room much. I said, because whether you like Trump or not, he put a guy in charge named R.F.K. Jr., who's who's starting to get legal uh things to make you healthy. They don't, otherwise, you're a slave to sickness and disease. And so uh they're empowering people to make choices and to eat better and stuff like that. So we get to talking, then he asked me what I do. I'm a pastor. I've been thinking about going back to church. I said, you should. You're a nice guy, and any church you go to, you're gonna make it a better church because there'd be one more friendly person there. Then I just started talking faith to him. I said, you know, it's no small thing at 47 to have a building and be a co-owner of the barbershop. I said, You're this is some of the highest real estate in the country and one of the in in a high real estate neighborhood or a gay hood. I meant I meant to say gay hood, but I forgot. And I want to be respectful. So I he I said, uh I said, this is a big deal. I said, I'm gonna tell you something. Because he said something about the economy. I said, there's more to the economy than fuel prices. I said, if you get in the stock market, the stock market is the best it's been since 1990. It's ripping. I said, you could tell he was just hadn't heard anybody come in and tell him that the economy's good, your health's gonna improve. Great job doing what you're doing. I said stuff like, I don't know if your family appreciates all you've done, but you've done a great thing. Look, there's people that are employed because of the decision you made. So I get a text. I've never had this happen in my life. I'm anointed for barbershops. I'm realizing all these things happen in barbershops. I get a text from the owner, the main owner of the company who I didn't meet. She's a lady. Here it is, I had them blur the names out because we're on TV. Um I'll be arriving with a big cash dip up front. Thank you for the wait. They opened the store for me. Let's go to persuasion. We're closed today. For how much money can someone open it? So we appre so we appreciate you and the review you did for a business. Because he said it'd mean a lot for me if you did a Google review. So I did I did one. Um thanks for waiting for me. To be honest, so-and-so sincerely felt as if you were an angel blessing the shop, which I know may sound yeah, I tipped him 200 bucks. That makes people interested in your religion. What are you again? I can't see Jesus shortchanging people and stuff. See, all those stories I read about Jesus had something in common. Everywhere he left, people were rejoicing. This made me happy because I'm acting like my brother. When I came in, people were sad. When I left, they were wondering whether I was a person or an angel. So-and-so sincerely felt as this is an unprovoked text. To be honest, so-and-so sincerely felt as if you were an angel blessing the shop, which I know may sound bizarre, but he, this is the owner talking. What she noticed. He had a different mindset after you were there, and so-and-so, the one who cut you, agreed. So I like that when I walked in there, both guys had agreed to go to church, and were when I left, they were wondering, was that a real man or what? I'm gonna tell you so. I'm not saying that to pat myself on the back. I'm telling you, as things get more demonic in the world, there's a spiritual law that where darkness, where wickedness abounds, there the grace of God that much more abounds. I want to ask you something. If a guy got into your Uber with you and started to talk to you about Jesus and how he was the Messiah and showed you in your Bible the things you were wondering about. It's to the point that you said, There's some water. Why can't I get baptized right now? And then took you and baptized you. And then when you came up out of the water, that guy that shared the Uber with you disappeared. Would you start to wonder? I don't know if that was a man or an angel. That's what happened with Philip. When Philip pulled him up out of the water, the Bible says he was caught away and found himself at the city of Azotis. Mark my words, just like they're talking about aliens and devils are starting to cross the line in manifestation, there will be an increased manifestation of the supernatural power of God to aid believers. Hallelujah. You're not like everybody else, you're not gonna be like everybody else. You're in covenant with the supernatural God, and that God's gonna take you to where he's called you to be. I said that God is taking you to where he's called you to be. You shall not be defeated, you will not give up and quit. He that began a good work in you. Well, bring it to completion. Go ahead, take 15 good seconds. Do what the Bible says. Clap your hands, oh ye people. That made my day. I mean, how much would they have had to be talking for the owner to text me 28 hours after I left? That's not even like a thing. That was the number to make an appointment. You know, you're not supposed to text back privately. Can you say amen? They wonder, I know, and she's apologizing for it because she doesn't know I'm a pastor. I know it sound might sound bizarre, but they wonder, that's better than them typing, they were wondering if you were a demon. We noticed things were missing from the shop, and we were wondering if you took them. Everybody say, I'm a blessing. Say this, I'm not going to be a blessing. I am a blessing. Say, when I show up on the scene, things begin to improve. Want to hear another barbershop miracle? During COVID, there was one barbershop open in Pittsburgh, so I gave them my my business because I just liked that they were open. So I went one time, it's like 40 minutes from my house. This sounds fake, but that's why I'm glad I got the text message, so you know I'm not overblown it. These are other people talking. I sat there, and this lady had two sons, and one of them was getting a haircut. He was eight. And so the barber said, How do you want your hair cut? And she goes, she had an an unbl that fake um impression I do of like a religious unbelieving voice. She actually talked like that. She went, There's no use talking to him, he can't talk. And so when she said that, I don't know. I just took it personally because I take everything personally. So I thought, uh, uh, if Jesus was sitting here, I bet you that kid would be talking by the end. I'm gonna do something about this. And so I uh, hallelujah! And I I feel the presence of God in this auditorium, I really do. Thank God for the Holy Ghost. Praise the Lord. I will not leave you comfortless, I will send another who is with you now, but later will be in you. Says and oh, please come, Holy Spirit. You should put your hand on your belly and say, Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you live on the inside of me, that you're anointing me to do. You're giving unction for my mind, an unction for my body to do what I can't do. Hallelujah! Praise God. Hallelujah. So that lady kept talking like that. You know, he can't. Every time the guy would forget and ask him a question, just ask me. He can't talk. But like I say, he's never gonna talk with a moron like you is his mother, but I didn't say that part. Kids not the problem, the parents are the problem. Now think of this. I had a speech impediment. If you watch the Victory channel today, I was home with Jesse DuPlanis, and they they said, What's the greatest miracle that you've ever seen? And we both gave the same answer. Me. Jesse said, I'm the greatest miracle I've ever seen. Because if you knew me before I knew Jesus, I was a gangster on the streets of New Orleans. He said, People that knew me from back then that know I preach still can't believe it. And I'm in my mid-70s. And then when they asked me, I said, I mean I said, I am a miracle. I had eight sounds in the alphabet that I couldn't say right when God called me to preach. There's only 26 sound uh letters in the English alphabet. You're in trouble if you can't say eight of them right. And I said, uh the speech therapist quit after five years because they couldn't get me to fix any letters. And then Jesus healed my mouth. I said, so every night when I preach, you're listening to a miracle. Uh you've heard me tell you, Sister Clarita. Did you enjoy her worship leading? Did you know at the time she was the lightest baby ever to make it out of the NICU in Detroit, two pounds, three ounces, and her one lung never developed? And they said, though she survived, she'll never be able to speak above a whisper. But the devil can eat a bowl of crits. The devil doesn't get to determine your future. Hallelujah. Bowl of grits. Amen. Glad I saved my ministry. Bowl of crits. Devil doesn't get to learn to tell the devil to shut up. And I think maybe the God part of me, because I was just there to get a haircut. I'm not like praying. And you should. I should do better. I'm not praying. I didn't pray in tongues before I went there to get my hair cut. I didn't pray. I wasn't like, Lord, use me today. I literally was going there to get a haircut. And literally, that's my my whole goal was to get haircut and leave. But then I I feel uh what the old timers would say, a quickening. When that lady said, Don't, oh, don't, no use talking to him, he'll never talk. I think it was the Jesus. But what do I care whether he talks or not? It's not my kid, I'm never gonna see him again. In the natural, there's no reason for me to care. But I feel like it was the Holy. Oh. Who says who? And who's gonna help that kid anyway? So might as well, worst you can do is get thrown out of the shop. I've been thrown out of plenty of places, including churches. Looking at you, South Carolina. And so I uh I thought I'm gonna do something about this kid. So I started mumbling under my breath and tongues, and just I just was meditating on that 1 Samuel 5 thing that I really like. I'm sitting here. The Dagan is his inability to speak. He is mine. They said he hasn't got anything, he's non-verbal. So anyway, I said that thing because what would have happened to me? See, this is why it's so important for you to catch this tonight. Because it's not just about you. When you catch faith, everybody in your family now has a believing member of that household. Instead of saying, I want to get my helps up if I were you, they have somebody saying, I want to believe God with you. Let me see uh uh Mark 16, 14. Come and join tonight. Still later, Jesus appeared. This after he rose from the dead, to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them. Let me see King James. Here it combines it as stubborn unbelief. I like what it says in the King James. He uh upbraided means rebuke. He upbraided them with for their unbelief and their what? Every family member you have, you're gonna notice if they have unbelief, unbelief and hardness of heart are twins, just like faith and compassion are twins. So if somebody said, hey, you should come tonight on Friday night to those meetings. I don't believe in that. And I and also I think they just they're gonna say something demeaning to you. Jesus said, Don't throw your pearls before swine because they'll trample the pearls and then turn on you. That's why they're never contending, just say, No, I don't go to church. I don't go to church. I think you're wasting your money, they're just getting your hopes up, nothing's gonna happen. Unbelief. How can a mother have a heart? You know, I don't know. I I've never not really known, not knowing the Lord. But I can't I can't imagine. However messed up Camila was, and whatever diagnosed there were, I can't imagine as a father just repeating as well. Why not? But I guess that's because I got the Bible. I guess the Bible gives you a different heart. That God can make a way where there is no way, that God makes every crooked path straight. Hallelujah. Say with me, the supernatural power of God travels on faith-filled words. Yeah, like you are gonna. That's all I was doing in that thing. I didn't pray. Of course, my barber was already saved yesterday, but I didn't pray, but I talked positive in this economy. I said, this economy is actually great. I said, There's different sectors. He said, Well, gas is so high. I said, you know, if you're worried about gas prices, you think you're gonna magically become rich if it goes down $1.50 a gallon? That's a very small part of money. There's things you could be doing right now. I made a move today, which I'm not saying because then if I'm wrong, I don't have like a word from the Lord, then if you lose money, you'll be mad at me. I'm I'm gonna make money. I prospered under Obama, I prospered under boy uh uh uh uh Trump, I prospered under Biden, I'm prospering under Trump again. If Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy win the election in 2028, I'm gonna prosper under them. If Lucifer becomes president in 2032, I'll prosper with him in charge. Daniel prospered in Babylon. Babylon was the most wicked place there ever was. You cannot stop. Not only did he prosper, the high-ranking sorcerers said if we don't stop that guy from praying, we can't do what we're trying to do. One old man praying three times a day was putting a stop to every wicked plan of the devil. We don't have one old man here today. We got a room of people that have not bound to fail. Can you say amen? Unbelief and hardness of heart. That's what that lady had. Hard heart. Why are you why why are you talking about? You know, if anything, it should be the mom saying that, but I'm believing he's gonna talk in the bargain. Yeah, he'll never talk. Should be an outsider. So I think of what would have happened if when I saw that angel that called me to preach, I went down and told my mom, there is an angel called me to preach. She went, how are you gonna preach when you can't even talk? Quit being crazy. There's no angel. I could have easily had that as a mom. But instead, I told him, my dad's uh coming to LA Saturday, and I'm gonna take him out already to text him the store I'm taking him to. Because, you know, 45 years old, I'm starting to like have a lot of value that I had a speech impediment, and when I told you I was called to preach, it was never mentioned one time. The Lord told you that? Or an angel told you that? Yeah. All right, God will use you. He didn't tell me what about your speech. He said, make sure you live holy. And God will use you. Stay pure and you'll do great things. I'll talk like that. And see, many of you never had that, but your children are gonna live a different life because after tonight, they're gonna have a man in that house or a woman in that house that says, God's hands on your life. You're going higher, you're going from glory to glory, victory to victory, and strength to strength. Come on, if you receive that tonight, shout a living amen! So I'm praying in tongues. I'm not taking credit for it, but I'm telling you what happened. I don't think anybody else was contending in the waiting area for the kid to talk. And then the guy accidentally asked him a question again about 20 minutes later, and he he answered. Yes. And so the barber even went like this to the mom. It was almost like everybody in the waiting area was like, because the mom made it so emphatic that he can't talk. So the guy looks around and goes, Oh, he's done that before. He goes say yes. I said, and then I had enough. Then I stood up and I said, He'll never talk with you as his mom. I said, He's fine. You're the problem. Which at that point, you guys are clapping because you like me or that. Nobody was clapping for me. I said, if you'd quit talking, he'd probably start talking. And then I said, I said to the kid, keep talking. And uh he said more while he was there. Said a couple phrases, and then I said another thing. I said, uh, I'm starting to wonder if you're getting a check for his disability and you'd rather him remain mute. I think I stumbled into a word of knowledge. Let me tell you, when my haircut was over, no one said, Hope you come back. They were happy I was out of there. But I don't care. I'm nothing will get me fighting mad more than a spirit of unbelief. I hate it. It's an evil spirit called unbelief that tells people, who do you think you are? It's the same spirit that mocks miracles, mocks tongues, mocks the supernatural, because the devil can easily defeat organized religion, but he can't take out one believer who makes up their mind. I'm gonna get full of the Holy Ghost, I'm gonna get on fire for God, I'm gonna do what God called me to do, and I'm gonna be. Somebody shout hallelujah. You mean seated? They must embrace the supernatural. I'm glad that that Puerto Rican evangelist, GJ Avala, when my father-in-law busted back to his green room, my father-in-law is not even a Christian. And his son was on life support at three years old, and they said they're gonna pull the plug in the morning. And he said, GJ, you have to come pray for my son. He's on life support. I'm glad he said, Well, sometimes we have to accept that heaven might be where God heals them. How many know whether we're healed here or ultimately healed in heaven? We're all healed. That's that is diabolical. Never said by Jesus one time to anybody. You freaking sell out. Yeah, that's what Jesus, that's a hypocrite means freaking sell out. Now, hypocrite. There's six days of the week to come for healing. Actually, there's not with you. I don't believe that belongs on Sunday. Yeah, but your office is closed Monday and Tuesday through Friday. There's no prayer meetings or anything. So when do you want people to get healed? We have over a thousand people on in Pittsburgh on Sundays in four and a half years, and we hit 600 last Sunday in Texas in two years because we pray for the sick. I'm gonna tell you something. Hey, what say embrace the supernatural? On that snow and ice storm in uh Texas, we were the only church open in Dallas Fort Worth. We were open and the Dallas Mavericks were open. Yeah, I read that the Dallas Cowboys have never canceled a game for snow or ice in their history. It's funny when you read it when it's about football. Fans even braved the weather. It's always braving the weather if it's for football, and it's unwise if it's church. So I'm gonna tell people they have to go. I actually did a video telling people don't feel any pressure to go. But as long as I made up my mind during COVID, the first time our church closes will be for the rapture. That's it. If there's a mushroom cloud in the distance, I'm gonna zip up a hazmat suit and go to the pulpit. You need more church when there's trouble, not less church. And my lunatic wife Adallis was in Pittsburgh. We were the only church open in Pittsburgh. It was the same storm. Obviously, you guys don't have to deal with that because you picked, you're in what's called the will of God. You live in a climate that's similar to the Garden of Eden. But Jeff and I live in a post-industrial apocalyptic wasteland with tough winners called Pittsburgh. That's why none of your teams ever won tournaments, because people come here to San Diego and go, you know what? I got a signing bonus in palm trees. I think I'm good. But if you live in Chicago or Pittsburgh, there's nothing to do but work out and be angry. Amen. So Adallis, Adoles never said the ushers have to come help or anything. But she started just to be funny, starts posting on Instagram that her and her crazy Puerto Rican sisters and a couple other ladies had stayed overnight at the church. They were in like sitka hunting gear and were shoveling the church out and stuff. And guys saw it, and before you knew it, there was a small army there. You started to realize I don't think we need state taxes and stuff. Because they never shoveled the roads or cleared uh plowed the roads out, but guys came with their plow trucks and plowed the streets out and uh all that stuff, and we had church. And then in Texas, crowd was down. Back then we had about 400 on a Sunday. It was at about 220, which you know, the roads were completely impassable. Abraham and I had two Uber drivers because both of them crashed. Our first one was from Kazakhstan. I said, Have you ever been in the snow before? He said, This is the first time I went. This is not gonna be good. And it wasn't good. He spun out on Interstate 35 and our car was facing oncoming traffic. He was nervous and cursing, and I it was so funny to me watching how nervous he was to die. I was laughing in the back seat. I was a little nervous too. I even did this just to cover all my bases. But we made it. You know when I went to church that Sunday? There was a guy there. He said, I drove five and a half hours from Oklahoma because I have stage four cancer. And he said, the cancer I have where the typey head, it flares up in the cold and it's very painful. But I came because I need prayer. Should someone have to drive five and a half hours to get prayer in America? No. But people, why do they drive? Why do they drive to Pittsburgh? Why do they drive eight hours and all that stuff? Because they will not get ministered to at most churches. But when you develop, whether you're a pastor, an evangelist, or a Christian, when you develop a reputation, then if you go to her, she'll pray and her prayers get answered. If you see him, he's gonna pray and you're gonna get better. You're gonna have that reputation in Jesus' name. You're not gonna have 30 disinterested family members at your funeral. You're gonna have hundreds of people saying, That guy led me to Jesus. That guy showed me that God is alive, that his resurrection power is real. If you believe that, let your hand crap and shout be the loudest.
SPEAKER_07Embrace the supernatural.
SPEAKER_06My son's dying. They're gonna pull the plug on Lazo hats. Little late. He said, I can't leave. There's 5,000 people here that need to hear me preach. Got some Goya olive oil, poured it on his pocket handkerchief, and said, Rub this on your son's body and he'll live. You want to know how the story ended? He rubbed it on his son's body. And the next morning when they went to come pull the plug and the family came to say goodbye, he was sitting up eating cereal. He was on feeding tube, breathing tube, everything tube. And he said, Hi, Mom. And he works in our ministry revival today. If you call and answer the phone, he's older than I am because the devil doesn't have permission to write the final chapter of your life. The devil may have written chapter number one, but you and Jesus tonight are gonna write a different chapter, and it's gonna be a glorious chapter.
SPEAKER_07Hallelujah!
SPEAKER_06Man, I feel this tonight. Let me see John 2.23. John 2.23. Now, when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast day, many believed in his name when what happened? Miracles help faith. Many believed in his name when they saw the miracles that he did. Hallelujah. I saw my friend from Fiji up there. I didn't notice you at first. How many members of your family have been saved since your grandma? Is that your grandma whose eye came up? Since her eye came open in uh at Pastor Michael's church. How many family members have come to the Lord in your family? About 65 in America? Go ahead. No, you gotta say that in the mic. I didn't know it was that many. Can you grab the uh her grandma getting her eye open? Was that her first time in church or first week? First time in church, and her blind eye came open. And many believed on him when they saw the miracles that he did. And since that, grandmother's eye came open.
SPEAKER_05About 65 here in America and about 200 in PG.
SPEAKER_06What was the religion before? Um they were all Hindu believers from three generations, three generations of Hindu shattered by one miracle. Just one. Everybody say just one. You don't need a lot of miracles, you just need one miracle. If you can contend for one miracle, see, miracles, my uncle would say, are like throwing a rock out on the pond. The ripples go out. So it doesn't just open the blind eye, some type of shockwave goes out and starts to rip the devil's chains off everywhere they are. I have an announcement to make, and I hope the devil can hear me. Tonight is a night of supernatural miracles for you and your family, where many generations of trouble are getting destroyed and lifted tonight by the anointing.
SPEAKER_07And lift the heavy brother. Receive that tonight.
SPEAKER_06Somebody say the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. I wasn't planning on talking to any of this. I just saw her and it jogged my memory, and it turned out it's like a perfect sermon illustration. Let me see your grandma.
unknownHi, grandma.
SPEAKER_06You're gonna love it better with sound.
SPEAKER_12I'm a real Phoebe.
SPEAKER_06Start from the beginning.
SPEAKER_04And today we want to share, my name is Ashley, and this is my grandma.
SPEAKER_12My name is Joyce. I am a real feet.
SPEAKER_04And today we want to share a testimony that the Lord Jesus did an American Migrant Fight. She recently came from Fiji, and we had invited her to come to Evangelists, Evangelist Jonathan's meeting in LA. And she came with an open heart, and um, she heard the word the gospel for the very first time, and there was free feel in her. And by the end of the service on Friday night, which was the first day she had come to the service, um, she said that she felt somebody tell her go to the front to answer the altar call, but nobody was with her. And she went to the front, and evangelist Jonathan, um, after he did the salvation prayer with her, um, he didn't know that through her left eye she was completely blind, and he grabbed her hand and he prayed, and that was her first time falling out under the power of God, and she got up from the floor and she shared with us that she felt a tear come down her left eye, and she never had a tear come down to that eye before. She had no feel in that eye. And she shared with us that she feels something is moving in her eye, and we told her that Jesus is healing you. So she kept saying, Jesus, you're healing me.
SPEAKER_06So notice even that miracle takes somebody being close to you to encourage you to keep it and have it more. What she could have just as easily had a what are you, a granddaughter? She could have just as easily had a granddaughter go, come on, you know, yeah, it's just a tear, but it's you know, I want to get my hopes up. You'd be amazed. John chapter 5. Stand up, pick up your mat and walk. And immediately stood up and walked. And then the Pharisee said, It's wrong for you to walk on the Sabbath. Sit back down. Most people have people like that idiot mother in the barbershop that are trying to get them to lose their miracle, but not in your house, because after tonight, they're gonna have somebody that encourages that he that began a good work in you will bring it to completion.
SPEAKER_07Continue.
SPEAKER_04And the next day her eye opened up a little bit where she's like, I can see a little. And we were praising God, and she was praising God. And then a couple days each day she continued to praise God, and her eyesight completely came back where she can completely see from her left eye, and we're praising God, and we're thanking him for the miracle because she was scheduled to do a surgery when she goes back when she has to go back to Jesus, but she no longer has to do a surgery then, but she gets to take this miracle back with her and share this testimony, what our Jesus did in her life, and she's already sharing this good news with all our family, and she completely asserting the Lord not coming.
SPEAKER_06Back then, how many would have been saved in the family? None! Just you. One miracle. Now, if you follow, keep that up, I'm gonna finish. Um now, if you follow me on social media, which I strongly recommend that you don't do. And people take cracks at miracles and stuff, and and you see me go a little strong with them. And by little strong, I mean enough to make a stand-up community go easy. It's because that's what the attacks against. Miracle this Christianity gets one saved here, one saved here. Explosion of miracles will level the devil's hold in a whole town. An evangelist could come to San Diego and have a week of revival meetings and start in week one have one miracle. Week two, then people start coming with faith that they're gonna receive a miracle. It wouldn't take long. You could have in a six-week meeting the whole hold of the devil in San Diego leveled by somebody pressing in for the power of God. I believe God's gonna raise somebody up out of this meeting tonight that the devil's gonna be sorry for the rest of his terrible existence, that he didn't kill you when he had the chance. Because not only are you up drunk, not only are you born again, not only are you free from depression, tonight you're gonna freeze the supernatural, and you're gonna go out the barbershop and restaurant and win the world for Christ.
SPEAKER_04If that sounds like you shot amen, I thought that's to see Evangelist Jonathan and completely surrendered her life to our Lord and Jesus Christ, and we give him all the honor and all the glory and the praise. And in Evangelist Jonathan, I just want to tell you how much we love you, how much we appreciate you, and and thank you so much.
SPEAKER_12And I am saved, my eyes are healed and healed and healed.
SPEAKER_06I'm healed and healed and healed. Hallelujah. Hey, you have Bishop Dag on that island in the middle of nowhere with that Hindu lady that got her eye opened up. You can take a little time. Let me while you're finding that, then I've been hearing crazy testimonies while I'm here. God is a real God. Jesus is alive. Hallelujah. Find Bo. Find Bo and his mom getting healed of cancer. So you're gonna see my daughter at nine years old. And uh let me read something to you. Go to Romans chapter 15. These are great notes, but apparently God doesn't care much more. One time earlier in my ministry, I'd worked real hard on a sermon, and the Lord started leading me like uh like he's doing tonight. And I said, like quietly while I was clipping on my Bible, I said, Lord, I worked hard on that sermon. I felt the Lord speak very clearly. I saw it. I got a better one, I got a better one for you. Romans 15. Praise God. Hallelujah. What a privilege to serve the Lord. Verse 16, Romans 15, 16. I am a special messenger from Christ Jesus to you, Gentiles. I brought you the gospel so that I might present you as an acceptable offering to God, made holy by the Holy Spirit. I have reason to be enthusiastic about all Christ Jesus has done through me in my service to God. Yet I dare not boast about anything except what Christ has done through me, bringing the Gentiles to God. How did he bring them to God? By my message. Everybody said, by my message. Yeah, what you speak, what you say. But that not just that. And by the way I worked among them. How did he work? Pass out wonder bread and socks and bottled water? No. They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders, and by the power of God's Spirit. In this way have I fully presented the gospel of Jesus Christ. You ever see the they've all taken them down. You know, there used to be churches called like um uh San Diego Full Gospel Church or something like that. Now they're all just like Journey Church or uh some uh if I say enough to pretend names, I'm gonna hit one and then they're gonna think I'm preaching against them. Vortex Church. Because without God, there's a vortex, and you're like, okay, well, great. But if you when you used to see, how many of you ever saw or heard the term full gospel before? Well, it's kind of an odd term because you don't drive by churches and it says like 21% gospel church. I wish there was some kind like how you in California you make the restaurants put their health rating. Somebody should do that to the churches. B minus. You're doing good, but you have some improving to do. D, you have cockroaches around the computer. So full gospel, that's what it meant. It meant other places didn't believe in healing, didn't believe in God's power. But here, Paul said, I didn't just preach, I demonstrated the power of signs and wonders. I showed. I really feel, not just for tonight, I feel like I might coming back to preach this. Teo Osborne said, anything you don't demonstrate, you don't have permission to preach. Until you've preached, until you've demonstrated, that this is what he said. Until you've demonstrated the gospel, you've not fully preached the gospel. Do you have uh you have the Bishop Dag one? You can flash me, yes or no? No problem. So that's why when guys like Morris Cirillo or Teal Osborne or Dag Hayward Mills or Reinhardt Bonke, that's why at the end, then they pray for and start having the people tell what Jesus did. I was with Dag Haywood Mills, I don't know anybody in Angola. I do now, but I didn't then. And so this guy gets healed, and I'm I'm I'm so dumb, I feel like embarrassed telling you. But I was too dumb to realize what was happening. This guy's waiting in line to tell what he got healed of, and the whole crowd's on their feet clapping before he gives his testimony. And he's going like this. And I'm like, you know, what's with this guy? He has like mental problems or whatever. And then he was a beggar by the hospital. Everybody goes to the hospital to deliver a baby, to bury their grandma, whatever. And so everybody knew this guy because he sat at the hospital and he was blind. Milky white eyes. And when they prayed, though the things, the blindness melted off his eyes, and he's standing there looking at his hands for the first time, and everybody's cheering. Let me tell you something. That's why when I play that thing of the whole town giving their life to the Lord, by one miracle, Jesus embarrassed every idol, every false God, every philosopher. That's why the Bible says, where does this leave the philosophers, uh, the people that are against God? Miracles blow them out of the water. And I'm telling you, from June through December, there will be an explosion of miracles in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. So this generation is going to be brought to God by signs and wonders.
SPEAKER_07Go ahead, play it.
SPEAKER_02We are in Mauritius, and this lady had cataracts that she could not see.
SPEAKER_06I love the smile. Everybody that gets a miracle looks exactly the same. Big grin. Joy. I think sometimes sickness, God can use it. You're stupid. Because sickness doesn't make people smile, it makes them frown. And sadness is not of God. Joy's of God. I believe God gets glory when we navigate through these sicknesses with grace. I bet Jonathan's in row six. Because I've had enough. Jesus had enough. You fraud. Don't tell me. I can't heal this lady. This is a day for doing good. This is a day for honor. If you untied your donkey, why can't I untie this lady that Satan hath bound? Praise God. The Bible says he touched her and she stood straight up. Next sentence. Oh, how she glorified or praise God. God received no glory from her sickness, but he received great glory. Zero people saved in a family to 260 some saved in a family. That's glorified. Miracles and healing bring God glory. They are a demonstration that we serve a living Jesus who, though he was buried on the third day, he got up never to die again, ascended into heaven.
SPEAKER_07He's alive, seated at the right hand of the Father, and he's coming back again.
SPEAKER_06I'll tell you another thing while my heart rate's up. That's why guys like him, you never see them take sabbaticals, even though they're working 20 times harder than the guys that need a sabbatical. How do you need a sabbatical living in San Diego? You live in a sabbatical. San Diego's gonna be the only people that go to heaven and go like, yeah, it's pretty nice. It's gonna be like a parallel transition. Because when you cut miracles out, like that guy sitting on the stool, he's wondering why he even goes to church anymore. I can't even tell the congregation why we go to church. That's a question I'm asking myself when I crawl under the stage. And plug in the cables. You know, he's he's worn out. When you take the the miracles and the flow of the Holy Ghost out, the ministry is exhausted. Whatever energy I've expended this week preaching to you, it would be a hundred times more taxing to counsel one church person for eight minutes. I feel sad sometimes. I saw a crow fly in my window and I think it might be a demon. And so, yeah, yeah, no, I'm praying. Yeah, that's not what you read them doing in the Bible. They prayed, they preached, they ministered to the sick and afflicted, and then they went back to it. And when you do that and stay in the floor, see, like this lady's smile, that grandma, even just seeing you tonight as the granddaughter, then you tell me that. I feel like I'm back from a vacation. However, refreshed anybody's trying to get on a sabbatical, I feel better than they're trying to feel right now because there's joy in the Jesus kind of ministry. Hallelujah! There's joy in seeing people walk and their families crying. You're gonna experience that joy. What you thought would never happen. God turn it around.
SPEAKER_02Play from the beginning, can I also see you? He's a medical doctor. You can see in the eyes white. There's no cataract, and she has identified me as a bogost, which means I am a handsome guy.
SPEAKER_06There's no party in Hillcrest that has that kind of energy. I've been in this jacket. There's no party that has that kind of energy. What people are trying to get in the world, I feel I feel bad when people come to church on Easter, and basically at most churches, it's a reminder of why they only come once a year. Oh yeah. This boring place with this boring music. Praise and worship isn't supposed to sound like you're having Jesus' funeral. You're supposed to be a party. It's a celebration. Church is a celebration that's joy to the world.
SPEAKER_07The Lord has come. He's alive. He covered death. He has redeemed me out of the step of the body. He's healed my body. He's covered me in his blood. He delivered me and I celebrate in the face of the death. Say it out loud.
SPEAKER_06The Lord is good. And his mercy endures forever. Now lift your hands if you're filled with the spirit. Just begin to pray. In the Holy Ghost. Come on, lift him up. It breaks the supernatural. Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_07That's anointed music. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let everything! Praise the Lord! Praise the breath and equal greatest! You are here! You are Hallelujah!
SPEAKER_06First Corinthians chapter two, verse one. When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, this is Paul again. I didn't use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God's secret plan. For I decided that while I was with you, I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. I came to you in weakness, timid and trembling, and my message and preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would not trust in human wisdom, but in the power of God. Let me see, King James for 2.5. I did this so your faith would not stand in the wisdom of men, but that your faith would stand in the power of God. The reason you can take your kid to church in America for 18 years almost every Sunday, and they spend one semester at San Diego State University or whatever, and come home agnostic is because they've heard it, but they've not seen it and handled it. Their faith rests in things they've been told, even if they're good things. But Paul said, I ran my meetings so your faith would stand that the thing I'm preaching carries power in real life. Everybody say power. I'm gonna tell you an example that'll probably suck the air out of the room, but I'm telling it anyway. You can be seated. My dad's brother, he's got two that pastor. I won't say which one because I don't, you know, I didn't get their permission to tell it, but I was there when it happened. This guy got mad at him that was in leadership at the church and then left the church and started posting stuff on Facebook, which if you want to leave a church, you can leave a church. But if you if you make it your mission to take down a church, the only one that's gonna go down is you. That's not how it works. It's a bad move. Ask the ten spies. When you try to split a church, it doesn't work. So this guy, you know, this pastor says he's a man of God. He's not a real man of God. People say he's a prophet, which that uncle of mine, he is a prophet. One time I was in one of his readings in Bible college, he prophesied seven earthquakes that would take place in the United States and told the order of cities that would happen. And then, oh, it was uh it was 2001. And then he said, and then in the fall, it's not gonna be an earthquake, but New York is gonna be shaken and devastated. That was when the Twin Towers fell. And I kept track of all that. So he's a real he's a real prophet. In fact, I'll tell you how hard people's hearts can get. This idiot couple that did that, the wife was unable to have babies. He prayed for her womb, she got pregnant, and then one service we were in, it was a miracle service. He kept walking by her, and the husband had gone, if the kid's born on my birthday, will you name him after me? And then he'd laugh. And the kid was born on his birthday, and they named him after him. So when they left the church, they took their five-year-old kid to court to have his name changed. Yeah. How dumb can you get and still breathe? Of course, that's in the East Coast. You guys are fine over here. I haven't met one person like that yet. So finally, my my uncle had enough. We were eating, I still remember, we were eating at a um a place that makes she crab soup. It's like a little shack in Tongo, Virginia. And he called that guy, and I in the place in his voice of authority, he said, I saw you post that I'm not a prophet. And this is not real. I'll tell you how real it is. I curse your house. In Jesus' name. And when I heard it, it made me pee myself a little, and I don't even live in that guy's house. Just a little. So we're literally sitting in his living room on Thursday. I think that happened Saturday. This is a true story. Thursday of that week, the lead story on the news is that there's a rare type of bird, a giant bird, that's not native to that part of Virginia or even like anywhere near there. That a nest of them have camped at these people's homes and are pooping on their roof so much that the whole roof and all the windows of the house are covered in huge white bird crap. And when it comes, when the story comes on, even my uncle that said it looked like there's no way it's gonna be them. And sure enough, they put the mic to interview the homeowner, and it's five days later, that guy. Yeah. And they said that these birds don't even live in this part of North America, and they haven't seen them here in 150 years, but they they've built a nest on our property and they're they're they're crapping all over our house. We've had it power washed three times, and as soon as we get it power washed, how much has to happen before you how much crap has to cover your house before you realize you've chucked with the wrong thing? I pray every person here makes up their mind. I'm gonna get in God's supernatural flow, I'm gonna stay in God's supernatural flow, and I'm not getting out of the supernatural flow. Yes, handled that better than I thought. Thessalonians, 1 Thessalonians 1, 3. 1-5, 1 Thessalonians 1-5. For our gospel came not unto you in say it, two words. When I presented you the gospel, this is Paul the third time telling you how he operated. It did not come in word only, and illustrations, and you know the platform covered in foam to represent how many times, whatever, I don't know. New prop every week, canoe next week. Feel bad working at these people's churches. You got to put up 2,000 pounds of props every week. Today we're talking about God being our anchor. So here's a solid iron anchor because our people have an IQ under 60 and need to see an anchor. Paul wasn't preaching with props, he preached with power. His illustrated sermons were blind eyes, deaf ears, crippled limbs, the power of God among the people. Illustrated sermons are supposed to be illustrated with the miracle power of God. And in the Holy Ghost, it was saying the Holy Ghost, I didn't come to you just in word. I came to you in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance. Let me see in the NLT. For when we brought you the gospel, it was not only with words, it would say with it was also with power. Power. For the Holy Ghost gave you full assurance that what we said was true. I'll tell you another one. When I was preaching in central Pennsylvania, I had a five-week revival there. That was uh one of the first meetings like that I ever had. It wasn't it wasn't a big one I had in 2011, but it was a good one. And so this these Mennonites got saved, and uh they said, Do you want to know why we started going towards this kind of Christianity and out of being Mennonites? They said a bunch of us got filled with the Holy Ghost, and so we invited our our like regional person invited Kenneth Hagin to speak at our Mennonite church. And she said, While he was teaching on the Holy Ghost, I fell out of my seat. She said, I got like knocked out of my seat, and when I opened my eyes, there was a ton of smoke on the roof on like the roof or the ceiling. And she didn't know anything about the glory of God or anything. She said, My first thought was because Mennonite smoke, Mennonite and Amish. You know, there's only like two things you can do for fun if you're Mennonite or Amish, smoke and eat. So there's she said, Who's smoking in this church? And why are they smoking so much that it's filled the whole top? Well, she said, I couldn't get up. And I looked and everybody was laying down. Mid-sermon. She said, and everybody was speaking in tongues. The glory of God filled that church. I think I know what I'm preaching on this Sunday. I think I'm gonna start a series on signs and wonders. Praise God. And so she said, um, so the the national Mennonite guy came and shut the meeting down the next week, and on Sunday got in the pulpit to rebuke everything Kenneth Hagin taught and teach why it said, and halfway through grabbed his chest and died. And she said, we kind of realized, like, I think he's wrong. And then I started coming to church here. Anybody see all the Amish people that started coming to our church in Pittsburgh? I asked the main guy, why'd you start coming? You know, they get shunned. Shun's not just people won't talk to you, nobody will do business with you. I said, Why'd you start coming to our church? He said, Because my son was born with deformities in his organs. And uh the Amish church doesn't believe in healing. So um I heard there was an evangelist coming to central Pennsylvania, it wasn't me. And that they prayed for the sick. So we brought our son to get prayed for and he got healed, and then I just decided I want to start coming here to these kinds of churches from now, and brought all the Amish people and I got my hair cut. I told him if they brought more than 20, I'd get my hair cut like them. And then I did. That was the day they all came. Real Amish people. I guess they're all that wear sneakers now. That's me getting my hair cut like them. Like I said, I would. You know, you're getting a bad haircut when your barber can't stop laughing. It's a fun life serving the Lord, my friend. It's fun to flow in the Holy Ghost. It's a miserable life doing life your own way. It's great to flow in the Holy Ghost. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. Lift your hands all over this place. Thank you, Jesus. I did it so your faith would not rest in the wisdom of men, but in the demonstration of the power of God. This guy's name's Bo from Louisiana. I want you to watch my daughter on the platform. Because why is it that when her teacher at Christian school said that God doesn't heal anymore? I picked her up from school and she said, My teacher at Christian school said God doesn't heal anymore. I said, What'd you say? She said, I just laughed. I don't think she hangs around the right people. Didn't even trouble her. You can talk someone out of what they've heard, but you can't talk somebody out of what they've handled. You could talk me out of what Pastor Eli had for lunch. I wasn't there. I'm just taking his word for it. If you said no, I was with him, and I'm telling you, he didn't have that for lunch. All right. Then okay, maybe you're right. I wasn't there. But you can't talk me out of what Brother Greg had for lunch. I had lunch with him. I know what he had. Him and his wife uh split fish tacos. And he had a cup of clam chowder. And so I was there, and you certainly can't talk me out of what I ate for lunch because I ate it. And that's why, think of this. You couldn't get one disciple after Jesus rose from the dead to flip his story. We're gonna saw you in half unless you recant. Do whatever you want. I know I put my fingers in the holes in his hand and I put my hand in the Spirit of Son. I know he's alive. You can get two heroin addicts or two heroin dealers at a police station and get them in separate rooms and get them to flip on each other in ten minutes. Threaten them with probation or three years in prison, not fed to lions, not crucified upside down, not sent outside till they're frozen to death from exposure, and you couldn't get one apostle. One thing you'll learn about cults, they'll let the people die for it, but the leaders won't die for it because they know it's cooked up. But all the leaders of Christianity, except John, and the only reason John didn't die is they tried, and when they boiled him oil and he came back up, he was perfectly fine. It was just like this. So they exiled him to Patmos. Can you say amen? But all the rest of them, including him, they were all facing certain death and gruesome death, and nobody would turn their back because they saw the tomb was empty.
SPEAKER_07I said, the tomb is empty, the stone is rolled away.
SPEAKER_06That grandma's blind eye led more people to Jesus than most people in the ministry, and never even had to talk. Just it seeing my grandma's blind, and Jesus healed her eye. You can't talk. I got a guy that goes to my church in Texas. You would never think this if you met him. He's a business owner, he's like a wealthy man, sharp guy. He said, You want to know how I got saved? He said, I was uh uh uh uh in my early 20s smoking marijuana and I was on disability. I got hurt work in construction, and my shoulder was, and it was I knew I needed to work, and my shoulder's messed up. I can't afford treatment, I don't know what I'm gonna do. So I was just smoking weed, and I turned Benny Hinn on. And he said, I was watching people get healed. I'm thinking, is this real? And Benny Hinn looked at the camera and said, There's a young man sitting at the end of your bed watching this right now, wondering if it's real. You have a problem with your shoulder. He said, Well, yeah, that could be me. But you know, that could be a lot of people. Then he said, Benny Hinn said, Your name's James Allen. And his name's James Allen. And he said, When he said James Allen, now did I know it was real? A wave. See, that's the thing. It's not just pulling words, the Holy Ghost is in those words. The Holy Ghost is in the word of knowledge. When you lose it, he said, something hit me. I was crying on my bed, my shoulder was healed, and I've been serving Jesus Christ ever since. All it takes is one breath from heaven. So, how come they couldn't talk my daughter out of there? Because she saw, it's not in word only, she saw. Watch her, watch her while this guy's telling the testimony. You can see why all she did when they said God doesn't heal is laugh. You need to make better friends, Mrs. Wilson. Go ahead. Tell everybody your name where you're from. In the little dress. Pause. You know why she's on the platform? She's gonna start traveling with me next week. She just called me before service. Today was my last day of school. I'll be with you all summer. Getting her passport to go to Slovakia in England. She's excited. And so she's there. Why was she on the platform? I was coming up out of a pre-service nap and she was fully dressed with her hair fixed. It was just me and her. Her mom's not there. I mean, she's she's alive. She's with us. She just wasn't at that meeting. I said, Where are you going? She said, I joined the worship team. At the week of revival meetings. She asked if she could be on the worship team, and it was, she said, we have practiced an hour. I said, Well, how are you getting there? She went, I got a ride. All right, you're nine. Great job. There she is, getting invested. That's how your kids are going to be. I don't care if your kids are growing out of the house. That's how they're going to end up. They're going to end up not going to church. You're believing if they'll start going to church, they're going to end up on fire for God. They're going to end up the most, the furthest one away from the Lord is going to end up the most on fire for God. In Jesus' name. Go ahead. Tell everybody your name, where you're from, and what transpired.
SPEAKER_01Amen. My name is Bo Johnson. I'm from uh I live in Calvin, Louisiana. I'm a pastor in a church. Me and another brother, we would take turns preaching on Sundays. But I had actually had been suffering an attack in my ministry because I believe what he believes is that God can heal and God can do anything. Well, my mother diagnosed with cancer over a week ago in her kidneys. What was the cancer in her kidneys? And uh, I mean she was bad. She got to where she goes, eat a grape, maybe drink some juice and throw up. That's how bad it was. And brother Jonathan I just appreciate you, brother, because you care. I care, yeah. That's the guy. And as I spoke to him, he he just spoke to me and I said, but the real reason I came here tonight was my mother has cancer, and I'm a I I I don't want to see her die. Pause it.
SPEAKER_06And I said, Plenty, I'll dismiss you soon. 9 27. I know that's late if you're in your mid-80s. So uh I recognize when somebody's being quickened by the Spirit of God to come up to me at the end, and that was a late service. Believe it or not, I used to preach much later. It's like 11.05, probably. And he goes, uh, he goes, What does Dolly Dolly mean? Okay. Oh, somebody somebody's written for 11.05, but I feel more of a 10 o'clock anointing tonight. So he comes up to me and goes, Would you pray for my mom? She has cancer, told me all that. Well, the fact that he came up to me at the end, I could just tell he was moved. I said, I'll tell you what, dude, instead of pray for it here, I said, Give me your hands. I said, When you lay these hands on your mom, she's gonna be healed. You want to know where I got that from? Mark 16. But for some reason, people need a human being to confirm the word for them. So that's what you do. Like all I've done tonight, I haven't had one original thought. I've just shouted scripture verses at you and showed you proof of the scripture verse coming true. And they'd be like, ah, Jonathan said that God can heal. No, I didn't say it. The Bible said it. But for some reason, you need someone from Pennsylvania to just scream it at you from 20 feet away. Can you say amen? So let's see, I already knew it. You confirm it. Can you say amen? Go ahead, Bo. Watch Camila.
SPEAKER_01She'll rise and she'll be healed. And listen, I left out of here happy that he said that. And then I got to the car, and my wife is back there, and I called her and told her what she said. And she said, Are you leaving now? I said, I think I will. So at 12:30 Sunday night, I show up at Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria, Louisiana, from here. Which is how far? Oh gosh. Two hours. I went straight there and I drove. And listen, I got there and I said, How am I gonna get in? They're not gonna let me in, because you know how funny they are now. And we had been coming in on the side door. Well, I just happened to look, there's another door, and somebody had put a piece of something and propped that door open. I went right in. I went right in. Went up there, and I'd already called my brother. Pause. In Louisiana, it's not a big deal to break the law.
SPEAKER_06So you wouldn't want to admit to that on video in most places with Louisiana. You can do whatever you want. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_01Look at Camila, listening. The evangelist told me to pray and touch my put my hands on you, and you're gonna be healed. I pulled everything back and I laid my hands on our kidneys just like he said. I prayed and I walked out the door, believing. I didn't stay five minutes. I told Mom, I'll see you tomorrow, I gotta go to work. I left. The next morning, my brother called and said, Hey, mama's eating. Mama's eating. Today, today she ate chicken. Wait, wait, there's more. Today she ate chicken, she ate cake, she drunk milk. I mean, she done everything. They ordered 15 tests today trying to find the cancer. They can't find it.
SPEAKER_06That's how I grew up. I grew up watching that and hearing that and being that in that. And I'm still getting messed up at 45. Just from what I saw by the time I'm five. You can't, you can't get me. You put a loaded gun to my head, I just wink at you. You couldn't get me to recant one thing. I know in whom I have belief. And I'm fully persuaded. Fully persuaded. Hallelujah. When that full persuasion comes, that's the secret to signs and wonders. You preach different when you're fully. See, that guy that was on the stool, he can't even start talking about the Bible before his doubt and unbelief that's wrestling with his faith comes up. Once you settle, tonight you're gonna settle in your spirit that Jesus is alive and has been given a name that's above every name. That at the mention of the name of Jesus, everything above the earth, everything on the earth, and everything under the earth has to bow at the mention of that name. You're not just gonna see signs and wonders, your life is gonna be a sign and a wonder and a giant problem for the forces of darkness. Receive that tonight. Hallelujah. So, here's two major testimonies we had just this week. That either one of these would have been worth the trip to hear that I had no idea about. First is a guy whose deaf ear came open while he heard preaching. Then something happened to his mom, and then a lady told me one last night that just made my year. Watch this.
SPEAKER_09There was a time where I was deaf on this side of uh my hearing, and I was listening to his preaching, and suddenly I was able to hear. I had a customized hearing aid on this side that got customized by a doctor that was born deaf. He was compassionate over me and uh at Beltone in Riverside, California. And so he customized a hearing aid for me and he said, You got lifetime, and he even upgraded, like my insurance only covered a certain amount. He even upgraded it.
SPEAKER_06He says, Get the lady from Seattle, too. Her ears just came up from while the preacher was going good.
SPEAKER_09Hey, it's lifetime as as much as you need, and so I don't need that anymore because I was listening to Jonathan Schillersworth preaching, and as I was listening to his preaching like six years ago, five years ago, all of a sudden I was able to hear, I'm no longer deaf. Praise the Lord. My mom was dying from cancer. She uh was suffering pollen cancer, and she was she was already gonna die. So I started putting scripture. I I called a prayer line, I think it was Maddie Ortiz that answered. She gave me healing scripture. I drove from Riverside, California, and I drove over towards Northern California, almost like San Francisco to Modesto. I arrived, I laid hands on my mother in faith, and my mom's been healed ever since. Uh, she no longer has no cancer, no meds, no chemo, absolutely nothing. She just turned 80, and so that's all for the honor and glory of the Lord.
SPEAKER_11Hi, my name is Corinne. I'm from Las Vegas. I was introduced to Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth a few years back when he came and did a revival at one of the casinos in Las Vegas. So it was my first introduction to Pastor Jonathan, and I started watching him on YouTube, and one Sunday my husband walked in and he's like, Who is this Yahoo you're listening to? What is he doing? Jumping up and down, look at all these saps he has.
SPEAKER_06Where are you from? Where are you? That was my first time. Are they gonna shit time sooner? Let this guy out and keep going.
SPEAKER_11Forward a couple years, my husband was not saved at this time, so I continue to stand for my husband. I know the passionate heart that he has, and he just did not have that um surrender to the Lord. So after just continuing to pray for him and stand for him, my husband did come around about two years after that and gave his heart to the Lord, and now he is the one who actually enjoys watching Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth and has grown into a godly man through his teachings.
SPEAKER_06Deaf ear, husband that doesn't serve the Lord, mom with cancer on her kidneys. Is there anything too hard for the Lord?
SPEAKER_07There's nothing God can't do if thou can't believe all things above. Here's another good one.
SPEAKER_03My name is Caitlin, and I have had uh severe hearing loss since I was five years old. I am almost 42 years old, and I came into this week to serve on altar and to bless others, and I had no intention of trying to receive for myself, but I felt the Lord start to stir in me that what I never thought was possible.
SPEAKER_06I'm not looking to rebuke her, I like her. But you should come expecting to receive for yourself. Because you want to know what you can't receive for other people. That's a frustrating thing. You try to try to get people to come all week, probably. Okay. You can't make the rich young ruler sell everything he wants to come follow you, even if you're Jesus. You can't make Adam and Eve listen to him say in the garden, even if you're God the Father and you walk with him every day. Don't ever let the devil get beat you up because the guy that used to be a leader with you doesn't serve the Lord anymore. Man, if Adam just spent more time with him, you can't fix people. Only the Holy Ghost can fix people. God, God walked with Adam in the cool of the day every day, and he still betrayed him. I don't feel bad. Can you say amen? Stay with who's getting it. Don't worry, don't worry about who's not getting it. You can pray for them, intercede for them, but don't let it consume your whole life because you can't control people. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. See, you should come into a room expecting to receive for you. Because you can't receive for a group, but you can receive for you. And I pray right now, you'd make up your mind at this point in the service as we go into the closing part. Um if no one in this room gets anything, I'm getting everything. And I'll get theirs too. I want everything God has for me and more. And God will do that for you tonight. Your church is going to another level tonight. Your church, there are churches here that will be double the size by December 31st of this year. There's evangelistic ministries here that will have a full calendar in 2027 in Jesus' mighty name. Everybody goes to another level tonight. In the name of Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_07Go ahead.
SPEAKER_03And I sat in service tonight, and Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth was like, Lift your hands all over this place. And the whole message was about Why do I have people lift their hands?
SPEAKER_06Because I'm addicted to seeing people with their hands extended. Why do people shout amen? Because I'm addicted to noise. Lean my head out to the maid, shout amen. No. Amen means so be it unto me. It's participation. I don't know if I'll ever preach on it or if I should preach on it or not, but that stuff I got into a little bit last night. I've watched so many pastors. I was showing Abraham that travels with me. I was showing him how many pastors start off preaching hard in the beginning of their service. And by the end, the crowd got them to their level. So today I'm going to share with you something God laid on my heart. Fast forward 25 minutes. So as we go, because the crowd, they let them glare at them. They don't participate. When they say they say amen, nobody talks. You let them beat you down rather than break through and pick them up. But that'll never be you. You're not going to drop to the level of your environment. You're going to pick your environment up to the level of heaven that lives on the inside of you. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_03And about just believing what the Lord can do and the power of his word and the power of our belief partnering with him. And I just felt hot all over, and I just felt the Lord's presence come upon me. And I just believed that he could heal me, that he wanted to heal me, that he wanted to reward the love that I had for him in my heart. And it was such a beautiful, intimate moment with me and the Lord. And I pulled out my hearing aids, and I could hear every single word of everything that Pastor Jonathan was saying. Everybody whispering around me, sounds that I have never heard in my whole life. I was able to hear clearly, and I just am so thankful for the Lord and his power and the complete healing and restoration. And I can't wait to share this with others.
SPEAKER_06Tomorrow, tomorrow begins the conference here. And this is my last night. I want to say a public thank you to Greg Morrow and his lovely wife, who not only invited me to come here, I found out today they waived all the costs of the rental. I don't know if I was supposed to say that because then other people are going to use that as negotiation, but you're not me. Amen. And that was a very kind thing for him to do. And I want you to show him a nice hand clap and thank you. And I thank you. And then comes to the meetings. He doesn't have to be here. He's been in the ministry longer than I've been alive. That's my friend. Praise the Lord. I want to play one more. I'll let it make it dealer's choice, Tessa, one of the recent great testimonies that we haven't played. But I want you to see what that lady said. That she believed God that He'd reward her. It would say, God is a rewarder. And then it injects joy into you in the ministry. So what I was going to say was, I don't understand how a minister cannot know enough that if they're feeling worn out, the thing to do is not go to the beach because where you're worn out is not in your flesh, it's in your spirit. So how does the Bible say to get unworn out? He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. If I ever felt like my energy was running low, I'd call a week, you know, I would like to announce that night, tonight all week I'm going to lay hands on people that are discouraged and need help. And when you encourage others, I mean think of it. I encouraged those guys at the barbershop, but they're getting that text today. It made me it put life into me. They're still talking about that a day later. You know when people go through a barbershop? It's every 20 minutes. They're wondering if that was an angel or not. That refreshed me. If you want to never run dry, focus on lifting other people, and you'll never be lifted yourself. I'm not saying this to be positive. I'm telling you this as a genuine fact. You will never spend another day of your life discouraged. From today, you are gonna walk in the joy of the Holy Ghost. You're gonna walk in righteousness, you're gonna walk in peace, and you're gonna have the open windows of heaven pour you out of blessing that's so great. You won't have room enough to take it all in. The last down day you ever had will be the last down day you ever had. In Jesus' name, you will be too drunk on the blessing, too drunk on the stance and wonders God's doing. One testimony after another testimony after another testimony, one breakthrough after another breakthrough, after another breakthrough.
SPEAKER_07I'll tell you from the back, always the head, never the death, the test, always the head, never the tail, always the top, never the time, the last defeat you stop will be the last defeat you ever see. Greater is it who lives in you.
SPEAKER_06In Jesus' name. Here's more signs and wonders. I like these. These are for me.
SPEAKER_13Hi, my name is Cheryl Baland. Back in 2007, I was diagnosed with very rare nerve pain disease. This nerve pain disease is the highest pain known to man. I felt helpless with so much despair because they told me that this would be my whole entire life. So they proceeded to do only what they knew to do, especially back then, was to heavily medicate me.
SPEAKER_06Don't let anybody tell you what your life's gonna be like. Besides me in the Bible. Your whole life will be like that. Shut up. What are you, a fortune teller and a doctor? You got a crystal ball in your office? Comp said he's got plans to prosper me and never to harm me. So no medical degree confers the ability to prophesy a future. You've heard me say this before. If you broke your, it's like that guy Bo. If they do a scan and find a tumor on kidney and they say your mother has cancer in her kidneys, that's not wrong. She does. Jesus didn't die for fake diseases, he died for real ones. But if they say she won't live more than a year, who are you? If you know the future, why don't you tell me what stocks to pick while you're at it? Yeah, don't forecast my future if it's outside of the Bible. I'm gonna tell you, anybody that has declared a future for you that's not found in Deuteronomy 28, 1 to 14, I send that word to the ground today, and I tell you, you're gonna have a glorious and bright future through Jesus Christ your Lord. How many people are here and you're 65 and older? Let me see your hands. If I was you, I'd start making plans to have the most. Don't let some doctor tell you you can't have ice cream. Eat ice cream. Pray before you eat. I'm not trying to do a doctrine to get you to eat yourself into a scooter. But if you think I'm gonna be 65 having a rice cake and a half a slice of salmon every day, I'd rather just go to heaven. I'd have them baptize me and just say, hold me under until the bubbles stop coming up. They try to get you to have a garbage life at 65. What the how old do they start sending AARP now? 50. 50 now they've lowered it. That's four and a half years for me. You're gonna tell me I'm an American associated of retired persons? I'm gonna send that magazine back with a letter that'll escort somebody's ass. I'm not winding down. You'd be amazed if you're at my house how much yelling goes on at the TV. Are you a man close to 50? So what if I am? You have a one in six chance of getting prostate cancer. Screw you. I'm in my living room having an argument with nobody. Don't tell me I'm gonna have prostate. I'm not having cancer. I'll give you another barbershop story. I was in Phoenix. It's all Russians that cut hair in there. Most of them are Muslim. And the lady with that was cutting my hair just kept talking about cancer. Friend died of skin cancer. You're fair skinned. You should keep an eye on it. Well, you know, I was like super calm. I'm not I'm not looking. I know I sound like I'm a bombastic person, but I'm not looking to cut. I just get a haircut. Second time, keep an eye on your, you know, you need to spend time in Arizona, you can get cancer. Third time, you know, third time when she said cancer, I said, Lady, I'm not getting cancer. She went, Well, you can't be sure. I said, let me tell you something. I have as much chance of getting cancer as I do of getting pregnant. She took a step back. It's hard to argue when you realize you're arguing with a lunatic. Am I worried about getting pregnant? Because it violates a natural law. Am I worried about getting cancer? Because it violates a supernatural law. He's not gonna take all my sickness and disease. Two thousand years ago, he took all my sickness and all my disease. If the devil wants to put disease on me, he's gotta go up and rip it out of Jesus' head to get it back.
SPEAKER_07He took all my sickness and removed. You can tell people being healed right now. Right now. Break through in your health, break through in your ministry, break through in your finances, break through in your family. Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_06I probably should leave this part out, but last time when I went back to she normally doesn't cut my hair. But then she doesn't anymore, so I went back and got my haircut by my normal guy, Mike. He's already a good Russian guy. And I gave him a hundred dollar tip. I gave the other guy that didn't cut my hair, who also cuts my hair sometimes. I gave him a hundred dollars. And then she was the third person, and I went like this. You tell me I want to have cancer. Me and you, I'm not saying I'm not saying we can't be friends, but you ain't getting any money. I'm not I'm not paying you to tell me I'm gonna die. Can you say amen?
SPEAKER_08Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I don't like that. I shake snakes off into the fire. I don't, I'm not open to suggestions about my future. I know my future. I'm gonna live a long good life. I'm gonna have an overflowing cup. Hallelujah. When we started, when we started all these churches, and you have every unbelieving knucklehead that's in the ministry come out, you gotta be careful. You can overextend yourself. You don't want to run out of money. I'm not getting cancer. I don't read any verses in the Bible about me running out of money. I read my head is anointed with oil and my cup runneth over. I'm reading about my storehouse is full of grape. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. I would read this book and see what God says about your future, singing, He created you. Your surgeon didn't create you. Your surgeon's not your father. God is your father and God's your creator. And he told you about who you are and where you're going. You're going higher.
SPEAKER_07You don't go up and down, you go up and up from glory to glory, victory to victory, strength to strength, whether the devil likes it or not.
SPEAKER_13Go ahead. I just was going from one kind of treatment to another. And that's where I got introduced to witchcraft. I got into some crystals.
SPEAKER_06I was introduced to You know what I never got into witchcraft? I hate craft. Even like at Bible camp when you had to make pottery, I hate that stuff. One of the things I really enjoy about Christianity is we don't have to like gather leaves before we pray, or stir things, or follow a recipe. You can just say Father in Jesus' name. Never gotta worry about me doing witchcrafts. I don't do any crafts. Can you say amen? Go ahead.
SPEAKER_13Healing, energy healing, meditations, yoga. I was becoming very desperate, and um, the disease is actually nicknaming suicide disease. Um, many people have lost their lives to suicide over it because there's just no hope and there's no way out. I was got to that point. I felt that my life was over and the enemy was really trying to take me out. Jesus says that he will leave the 99 for the one, and that's exactly what he did for me is he just showed himself to me that I have other plans for you.
SPEAKER_06In that time, I had given myself this miracle slapped a permanent smile on her face. It's like it's like glued on her. I guarantee when she had the suicide disease that has the highest pain threshold of any disease, people kill themselves. That's why they call it that. Can't take it anymore. Now, now Jesus took her winced face and turned it into like a cartoon character smile. I pray that you smile so big for the rest of your life. People are asking you on the street what's so funny, what's amusing, what happened to you? You're gonna have reason to tell about the Jesus you serve. Continue.
SPEAKER_13The Lord, but the preaching and the teaching, and again, I still was not leaving my home. I believed I would maybe have a miracle, but I was kind of living uh a double mind. I was believing for it, but at the same time I kept repeating over myself this horrible disease that I had. I ran into Jonathan Shuttlesworth on YouTube.
SPEAKER_06If you don't find me, run into me, it's a full contact ministry.
SPEAKER_13And just the way he was preaching and teaching and showing that miracles do happen today. The doctors had said to me, This is your life, and you will be like this forever. You will always be on these medications, you will never come off, and just get used to it. I started to reset my brain. Like I started to uh there was something that we were um I was showing from my nurse to create new neuropathways in your brain and to get away from the fear because I was living in constant fear, but through the teachings that I was learning through Jonathan and at Adallus, that Jesus does renew our brains, uh, renews our minds, and I started really fully believing that Jesus can still that he will heal me, and my language changed, and my my neuropathways in my brain started to change, and I started to come off medications, and I did it with like there was some withdrawal symptoms in there, but I just persevered it because I knew that at the end of it I was gonna be completely healed. So I did slowly come off the medications, it took a little bit of time. Um, the withdrawals were not as bad as what I thought they were gonna be. Also, in that time, I just was listening every single day on YouTube. I couldn't get enough of hearing the full gospel of Jesus and how he does heal and how he wants us prosperous for the very first time watching in person. Obviously, I left my house and I'm completely off every single medication. I'm completely pain-free. I am completely healed, and again, the doctors were really amazed that this happened. So I actually even got invited to go and speak at the chronic pain conference here in Toronto last year. One year ago today, I was speaking to doctors and nurses and telling them my journey. And although they wanted to know the medical side of it and how that all happened, I was also told them that it was Jesus that healed me. I had to brag about Jesus. In Toronto at the doctor's convention.
SPEAKER_06Come on, give Jesus the biggest hand clap one more time on this Thursday night. Somebody shout now, it's my turn. How many of you will join your faith with me tonight that God's gonna radically touch you, but that miracle is gonna go through your whole family until everybody with your last name has their name written in the Lamb's Book of Life, ready to go to heaven.
SPEAKER_07Let tonight, O Lord, be a night of amazing breakthrough. In Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, one breakthrough after another. Let a wave of healing come through this crowd right now. In Jesus' name, in Jesus' name, every bloodstream, every agent of bloodness, every neurological disease, be healed, be healed. I command turn around, turn around in every life. I pray for you.
SPEAKER_06Stand right there. Lift both hands, close both eyes. The devil tried to take you out not long ago, but God's hand preserved you. And now God's gonna help you. You're gonna live and not die. And anything the enemies tried to wrap around your life, God unwraps it tonight. In Jesus' name. You foul hold of the devil, I commend you to loose now. That's it. Be free. You'll never touch it again. The open door the devil had is now welded shut. In Jesus' name. Things are different now. Things are different now. In Jesus' name. The same way I don't struggle with that stuff, you won't struggle with that stuff. In Jesus' name. You're free. Thanks for coming. Praise the Lord. Oh, for real? This is like your first time in a meeting like this.
SPEAKER_07Come down with me.
SPEAKER_06Now, I know you face me. They're not gonna stone you. I know you weren't on the street that long because you smelled too good. That's a recent attack that came against you. Where it's like the bottom dropped out. But now God's gonna lift you out of that pit. You'll never go back on the street. Even tonight. In Jesus' name. I don't care if angels have to go to a Home Depot and construct you a place to live. You're not going back on the street. In Jesus' name. This short-lived affliction. It seems like it is a living hell, but it in the in the scheme of your life, it wasn't that long. You were headed to the top, so the bottom dropped out, and you felt like you'd never get out. But God used that sweet lady up there to pull you out because his hands on your life. Angels watched over you. You watched other people die, but you didn't die. Somebody was praying for you. And now is the culmination of that prayer. Say this nice and loud. Heavenly Father, I turn my back on sin. I repent. I believe in my heart that 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. My spirit's clean. My mind's clean. My bloodstream is clean. In Jesus' name. Amen.
