Acts the eighth chapter. Acts chapter eight, verse four. But the believers who were scattered preached the gospel of Jesus Christ wherever they went. Say that with me. Say the believers. It doesn't say the pastors. It says the believers. Jesus didn't tell ministers to tell everybody that he's alive. Believers are ordered to what did Jesus say? Jesus came back from the dead. He goes and meets with the disciples who refuse to believe the women that said he was alive. And he told them, now go tell everybody what you saw that I'm alive. This is not a private faith. This isn't a collection of people that believe in Christianity trying to survive the horrors of the world. Christianity is what did Jesus say? Who takes a light and puts it under a bushel? You take the light on the highest hill so that it goes out to everybody. When the woman ran into the tomb after Jesus was raised and his body wasn't there, and she began to cry, a man came in and said, Woman, why weepest thou? Why are you crying? She said, They've taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they've laid him. And that man was not a gardener, it was an angel. And he said to the woman, Why seek ye the living among the dead? For the Jesus that you're looking for is not here. He is alive and he lives forevermore. Period. Now go tell everyone. Exclamation point. Why can't you Christians keep your religion to yourself? It's against our religion to keep our religion to ourselves. The first thing we were told after Jesus was alive was to let people know that he's alive. Tell them that I didn't die so that necklaces could be made with me on them, or statues could be made. I died to shed my blood to break the power of the devil over people, over families. What's a city or a town? Just a collection of families. So if you get it in enough, it blows the devil's power out of that region. That's why you have the type and shadow in Deuteronomy chapter 28 that if you'll fully obey me, your towns and your fields will be blessed. And then if enough towns start moving in cities, it starts to have an effect on the whole nation. So I'm going to preach a little differently tonight in this week than normal because we are in the middle of a national revival in the United States. If you get your news from MSNBC or Fox, you're going to miss it because they don't really cover it. They'll cover it a little bit. You actually have Christians that are concerned. I'm very concerned about the economy. There literally, even in the natural, is nothing to be concerned about. Let alone if you're a child of God, where you have promises and a covenant. Sorry, I had an unfiltered cigarette before the service. I won't do that anymore. You not only have have the promises of God, you have that covenant over you and your family. Can you say amen? I want you to say something so the devil can hear you. Say, I'm I might look like everybody else, but I'm not like everybody else. I'm a child of the Most High God. What happens to others doesn't happen to me. So Acts chapter 8, how does it work? You can't believe. How can they call on him whom they've never heard? How can they hear unless there be a preacher? How can they believe in somebody they don't know? Most people grow up in a home, they're just told how hard life is, your your ants all had kidney disease, that runs in our family. Until somebody gets the word of God, they're doomed. But when the word of God comes in, it starts telling you different things. It tells you you didn't come from monkeys, you came from God. So instead of acting like an animal, you start acting like God. Can you say amen? It doesn't tell you you're gonna die, it says you're gonna live and not die. With long life will I satisfy you and show you my salvation. And then the order, if you would grab on the Houston Crusade, and then and then with it's ready? So just give me, just wave me when you have it ready. So Christianity is an interesting thing. You go and start telling people. All you've got to do is tell it because that's what God said to do. You know, when you hear people, we need to pray for Mexico. I mean, you can, but it's not a substitute for going and preaching. Why is Mexico in bad shape? Because there's low gospel infiltration there. Study it if you want. No nation ever receives the gospel and goes backwards. There's nothing in history like a very strong nation that then these Christians came and built churches and it ruined. The gospel brings people up, families up, nations up, states up, even in America. You know, you have states that are more blessed and less blessed, and that's traceable to the impact of Christianity. I was talking to Pastor Russell Johnson. I said, look how, since you took that stand against that devil there, that the focus, Seattle used to be the hotbed of the Minnesota type problems, and now it's moved over to Minnesota. Where you can't find a strong church, that place goes down. Look at New York City. How do you have uh eight and a half million people? And you can't name one church that's a full gospel church that has over a thousand in one service or two thousand in a city that big. Then you go to Texas and they're everywhere. I was so happy. I'm from the Northeast. We started a church in Texas and we broke 500. A guy, a Texan waited after for me. He went, Don't worry, Reverend, it's gonna grow. This is growing. Where I'm from. So where the gospel goes, by the way, who has the top economy by far in the United States? Texas. Where the gospel goes, prosperity goes, I'll bless your cattle, I'll bless your animals, I'll bless your harvest, I'll bless your bodies, I'll bless your fruit baskets and breadboards. When you come into alignment with God, that blessing gets on everything you do and everything you touch. Anything that's not listed as a blessing in that Bible, during these meetings, it's gonna start dropping off your life for free in Jesus' name. This is the hour of the blessing of the people of God. If you believe it, can you say amen? So, what the early church do, sit and hide, pray. You know, and I I I sometimes I wish I wasn't on YouTube and TV because I could talk more freely, but I end up doing it anyway. You know, if you pastor in Mexico, I'm not knocking you. But I've been around them. You can't preach like that there, the cartel gets mad. Anybody you duck, you don't you don't understand authority. The devil will manifest differently in different places. If you're in North Africa, it's Al-Qaeda. If you're in the Middle East, it's ISIS or an ISIS-like group. If you go to um Mexico, it's the cartels. So you have to make up your mind as a Christian, whatever the manifestation is of the gates of hell, I'm not altering one thing I say to appease that devil. I'm gonna, I'm not here to coexist with demonic power. I am here to tear down principalities and power and see revival come to our nation. Can you say amen? Because you get that everywhere. You can't, you know, here. I don't know if you've ever preached here or not, but I want to talk about idol worship if I were you. That's that you go to India, that's what all the pastors say. Don't mention idols. Well, that's why, that's why you're struggling. Because you're allowing, if you want to know who's in charge, just find out what you're allowed to say and not allowed to say. Any pastor in 23 years that pulled me aside before service and said, Don't preach on this, instantly regretted it when I got the mic. Because I didn't have to pray about what to preach about. You say, now I don't I don't know if there's I'm sure there's a few pastors here in a meeting this size. But you know, what I found is when the pastor says, like, I'd be careful talking about healing here, because a lot of the people don't believe it, it's actually that's called projection. It's him that has a problem with it. And he's nourished. People, the Bible calls them sheep, no offense. I'm also one of them. And sheep, sheep don't have opinions, they just go, bah. They do, they they do what they're instructed, but the leadership you're gonna find, if you want to know what holds the move of God back in a region, it's leadership that is embarrassed or timid about things that you don't have the option to be timid about. If you're a minister and you catch yourself saying stuff like, I believe in healing, but our people don't, you know, in this region of South Carolina, you know, the people aren't really cool with that, so we don't talk about it, you're a problem. You're acquiescing the same way a pastor in India won't talk about an idol because it can cause a problem with the crowd. The gospel by its nature is confrontational. You don't do it with meanness or anger, but in preaching it, the preaching confronts that power. And as you won't relent, the boldness and power of the gospel begins to break down those powers. Before we read whatever, wherever I told you to go, Acts chapter 8, go to um 1 Samuel 5, verse 1. 1 Samuel 5, the first verse. You can do NLT. After the Philistines captured the ark of God, they took it from the battleground at 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. But when the citizens of Ashdod went to see it the next morning, Dagon had fallen with his face to the ground in front of the Ark of the Lord. Philistines weren't bright. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place again. Now picture this. All the Ark of the Covenant was was a wooden box. But it had in it the presence of God. That box wasn't fasting, that box wasn't praying, that box wasn't singing prophetic worship, it's a wooden box, but it carried God's power. When they set it by the top idol in that land, the top principality, that box knocked it down. They put it back up. What happened? Four. But the next morning, the same thing happened. Dagon had fallen face down before the ark of the Lord again, but this time it fell so violently that its head had broken off and its hands were broken off, lying in the doorway. Only the trunk of the body was left intact. Can you say amen? Can you say a better amen? This is a picture. Now, where the is that power? I pray they never find the Ark of the Covenant because every Christian television station is gonna be there saying, Man, we're within a hundred feet of it. If you could be here right now, the presence of God's so strong, and it'll all be a lie. Because God, the Bible says it was never God's presence to dwell in human hands or in temples made by human hands. Know ye not who is the temple of the Holy Ghost? I'll give you a second chance. Who is the temple of the Holy Ghost? So when you see God's power in the temple or in the Ark of the Covenant, it's a picture of who the New Testament believer is. Because now God's presence doesn't reside in building. Now it will reside in a building if you get enough believers in there doing what said God's power will come. But God's power isn't out there somewhere. And you can tell a lot of Christians don't know that. They waste time in church. Oh Lord, fill this place with your presence. God's put your hand on your belly and say this. Say, God's presence dwells in me. That's what the Bible says. You're not wrong to quote God. You know, they treated it. I don't know what your background is. Mine's assemblies of God. And in the assemblies of God, they treated it like you as a minister. You were Clark Kent, and when it was time to preach, you became superman. So you begin to pray, Lord, anoint me. And then you get anointed and you go preach, and then the anointing wears off, and you go back to working at the daily planet, and you become a regular person. Then next night, Lord, anoint our brother. So to them, the anointing was something that came from the outside and rested on you for a task and then left. That's Old Testament. Once the new covenant was ratified by the blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit doesn't come and go. The Bible says you have an anointing from the Holy One that abides or dwells with you always. We had a discipleship at our uh class at our church yesterday, and um I opened it up for questions and answers. And they it was amazing. We had as many people at discipleship as I expected the church to be at by by this time, four years in. It blew up. And so a lot of these people don't come from Christian backgrounds, they've only been coming to church six months, a year and a half. And they asked, What do you do when you don't feel like the Holy Spirit's with you, or you don't feel the presence of God, or you don't feel the power of God? I said, That's easy. Quit paying any attention to how you feel. The Bible says the key to Christian living is we walk by and not by sight. So they'll teach you that fear is the opposite of faith, which is true. But there's also another opposite of faith, because it doesn't say we walk by faith and not by fear. It says we walk by faith and not by sight, which means you don't allow what you see, what you hear, what how your body feels to make you alter what you believe out of the Bible. If the Bible says I have an anointing from the Holy One, I'm anointed when I feel it, I'm anointed when I don't feel it. I came to tell everybody on this Monday night, if the devil's trying to beat you down, make you feel like you're not gonna make it, I have news for you. The battle is not yours, it's the Lord's. I came to tell you I'm gonna make it. I came to tell you you're anointed with fresh oil. God's opening new doors for your ministry. God's change of things in your family. The devil doesn't have the power to write the final chapter of your life. Jesus has the power. I'm gonna battle my church and the case of hell, women against you. I'll tell you one more time. Everything that I'm gonna present of an infringement of the case of hell against your life. It comes crashing down today. In Jesus' name, if you receive it, go ahead and do what you already do it. Take 15 good seconds. Clap your hands, all ye people. Shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Can you say amen? So you have to have that mentality as a believer. Say, I am filled with the Holy Ghost. If you've not received the baptism of the Holy Ghost yet, you're in the right place. And then when you leave tonight, you should have a mentality. I'm not checking under my bed for the devil. The devil should check under his bed for you. The greater one lives in you. I said the greater one lives on the inside of you. And so that's Ephesians 1 and Ephesians 2. Say something with me. Say, I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principalities, all powers. So I'm showing you something here that there's a confrontation aspect to Christianity. Not yelling at your coworker. Not yelling, I you know, I have family on Adolysis' side, I have family on my side that didn't know the Lord. And a bunch of them moved to Pittsburgh and uh, I think Pittsburgh has like a 2.1% Hispanic population, and I'm responsible for like 1.3 of that. Adolysis cousins that all thought she was nuts for marrying a white preacher and moving to Maine, capital of white people. Nobody had ever left Boston. Although all her Puerto Rican family stayed right there and she left. Then they thought she's nuts. Then 15 years later, they're all coming. You ask any one of them. I never gave them a hard time. I got my mom's side of the family here. Ask them who the most fun cousin was to be around or nephew. I never came in. How could any of you drink beer? No. The goal of Crochet is not to get people to clean their behavior up and come to Christ. They'll just go to hell sober. Before you change, you don't change your life and come to Christ. You come to Christ as you are. And when you come to Him, His blood and His resurrection power make you a new creature and take the taste for sin out of your mouth. Can you say amen? You battle against spiritual powers, and the Bible says they're all under your feet. Say something else with me. Say the devil is not over my head. What do you uh what language do you speak? What's your first language? Russian. How do you say devil in Russian? Diablo. I can remember that. So I got Privyyat, Bakah, and Diablo. I'm gonna keep learning. The devil, the head. You don't deal with him like he's in charge of you and you're trying to get through an enemy. What do I mean by not over your head? Um I was the first speaker of three speakers at an event. And the guy they had go before me, he got up and said, you know, this was right when they had legalized gay marriage in the United States. Most Christians you around, you'd have thought Jesus passed away when they did that. And so he's saying, you know, it's a shame what's happening in this country, and um, you know, Satan is taking over. We're down by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter with two minutes left, and God's waiting to see who will win the fight. I don't know what so when they gave me the mic while he was still on the stage, I said, I don't know what God that guy's serving. He he spun around like this. I said, My God's not down by two touchdowns with two minutes left trying to win the fight. My God won the battle 2,000 years ago, and he gave that victory to the church, which is his body. I came to tell every lying devil that makes you feel like you're going down, like he has a say. He know he lost his say 2,000 years ago. There's nothing the devil has done to you that one blast of the name of Jesus won't kick its legs out from under it and put you back on your feet. Get ready for the best week that you've ever had in Jesus' name. If you believe it, shout out loud, hallelujah. Say the devil's not over my head, and then the slightly better view is people, and this would be most people, most Christians don't feel the devil's over their head, but they do feel the devil's eye to eye. We're in a battle, we need to pray. There's a real demonic stronghold in South Carolina. There's real, we need to pray. No, we don't need to pray. The witches should pray. The demons should have a prayer meeting to Satan. I'm not trying to get the victory, I have the victory. Let me see Joshua 1, 2 through 9. It was an easy place to preach. You guys came ready, huh? Would you mind if I prayed for everybody tonight before I go? I know you're supposed to wait until Friday, but I feel like doing it now. Joshua 1, 2. This is God's instruction. And notice God didn't tell, you know, I had a guy tell me one time, well, you can't preach this because this is what God said to Joshua. Yeah, but notice he didn't say, now, Joshua, don't write this down. This is just a private agreement between you and I. Say another thing with me. Say all scripture is inspired by God. Moses, my servant, is dead. And you know, in other words, quit mourning for what used to be. That's that's your average church. How many of you remember back in the 70s when brother Smith was alive? How many of you remember? Oh, no, I'll I'll make it more pertinent here. How many remember when Brother Federov was alive? Founded this church, and we would have great meetings. Great, we celebrate what God did in the past. But you know what? If you're not careful, look what they do in America. They hold like a memorial to Azusa Street. As much fighting as there is between Catholics and Protestants, Protestants are basically Catholics with neckties on and a wife. They memorialize things. This is where God moved in 1906. Okay, great. Did he die? Do I have to go to the grave of Smith Wigglesworth to find the Holy Ghost? Do I have to go to Azusa Street and find where he moved? Or is the Holy Spirit alive on the inside of me? Then you then read. Read what happened at Azusa Street. Read what happened. Do you have the Azusa Street video? I might actually play one that I asked for. What caused, what made God move in those meetings? He just sovereignly chose to know. Or did they discover something? Did they discover that you can go and begin to preach God's word? And whatever word you preach, God is bound to confirm his word. Let me tell you something. For all the ministries in the last 40 years that you hear fall into sin of whatever kind, stealing money, cheating on their wives with other women or whatever, people say, How did God still move in those meetings? Because God is loyal to his word. You know what? You can be a donkey declaring the word of God, and God will back up his word. The Bible carries. That's why you should be a fearless Christian. Hold your Bible up. If you have your phone, your Bible on your phone, you can hold your phone up. I got analog. Everybody say this. This is God's word. It is the sword of the spirit. It decapitates every snake that's against me, against my family, and against my generation. For all the people that teach on demonic warfare, I don't think you can be up against a greater spiritual entity than Satan himself. And that's who came to Jesus. Jesus didn't have a demon come to him, Jesus had Satan come to him. And depending on how you study the Bible, there's only at most five, six people, at most, maybe less, that dealt personally with Satan. Satan came to Jesus, and what did he do? Start thrashing around and praying in tongues. What? Who said it? Say it again? It is written. One scripture, devil changed the subject. It is written, devil changed the subject. It is written, devil runs away. Shoot, those are my three best. Bible says Satan left him alone for this. Jesus never moved an arm. In fact, the Bible says Jesus was in a weakened condition, having eaten or drink, hadn't had nothing to drink and nothing to eat for 40 days and 40 nights, and with barely any strength, quoted the word. It's written. It is written. It is written. Say again, the devil's not eye to eye. Jonathan, I brought my friend. He needs a lot of prayer. No, he doesn't. He needs a better friend. He needs a friend that understands the power of God. Can you say amen? Because we have power. It's the only reason people are enslaved is because they don't know. I had somebody at our church that happens from time to time. Hey, my friend came to the altar and got saved. But can you pray for him again? He needs a lot of prayer. No, actually, you're the problem. Because we just prayed the sinner's prayer, and the Bible says, if any man be in Christ, what is he? A new creature. Then what's the next sentence? The old life is passed away. So why are you drudging it back up? He battles addiction. Is he battling it right now? I don't see any needles hanging out of his arm. I don't see any lines of cocaine on the front row. So why are you still believing as his Christian friend that he needs more help? What if you just lifted your hands and said, Thank you, God, that you began a good work in my friend. You're bringing it to completion in Jesus' name. Well, last time that happened, somebody brought one of their friends up, but it wasn't that long ago. Can you pray again for my friend? He needs a lot of prayer. And I didn't rebuke him, I was in a good mood. I said, You want more prayer? He said, Yeah. I said, Give me your hands. I said, In Jesus' name. Everybody say, in the name of Jesus. That name carries power. Put on, put Acts 3, 12 to 16 up. NLT. Peter, Peter healed, Peter healed a crippled man. Peter saw his opportunity and addressed the crowd. People of Israel said, What's so surprising about this? And why stare at us as though we made this man walk by our own power or godliness? You hear that? That's the apostle Peter. Jonathan, you know, he's no, nothing. All Jonathan, me, all I am, all your pastors are that do this, they're people. What separated Peter? He didn't think it was a big deal. Why are you so amazed about this? This is what the name of Jesus does. You shouldn't be amazed when there is a miracle, you should be amazed when there isn't one. Can you say amen? You know, you hear full gospel preachers. We prayed for um, we prayed for brother Anderson, and his cancer is gone. Like seriously, I couldn't believe it. Well, we know it wasn't your faith that made it happen. I can't believe it. Okay, it worked, it actually worked. Peter didn't talk like that. Why do you look at us? Let me see, verse 12. Why do you look at us as though our own power or our own godliness did this? Why stare at us like we made him walk by our own power of godless? So, how did he walk? 13. For it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of all our ancestors, who has brought glory to his servant Jesus by doing this. This is the same Jesus that you handed over and rejected before Pilate, despite Pilate's decision to release him. You rejected this holy righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead, and we are witnesses of this fact. Through faith in the name of Jesus. You know how you know when somebody doesn't have faith in the name of Jesus? When they pray in your name we pray. Why are you censoring yourself like we're in the Soviet Union in 1963? And you can't say the name of Jesus. Did you know the literal name of Jesus has power? Peter said it. You want to know how this man got well? Faith in the name of Jesus has made this well man well, and you all know how crippled he was before. Yes, faith in Jesus' name has healed him before your very eyes. Why do you think you can go on the view and talk about karma? The television show, the view. You can talk about karma, you can talk about God. God means a million different things to a million different people. You can talk about a higher power, you can talk about is he with the church? Oh, you leave the towel alone. It's a lost cause. I sweat, I'm comfortable with it. We're just gonna have to get past it. Can you say amen? How do you say sweaty mess in Russian? Potny. Mipotny. Through faith in the name of Jesus, this man was healed, and you know how crippled he was. You go on television, CNN, MSNBC, you can talk God, you can talk karma, you can talk higher power, you can talk supernatural. No one cares. But if you I could show clips on this screen of somebody talking about when they say the name of Jesus, it knocks all the Botox out of the women's faces. They don't like it. Three of them get up in storm offset. One if one NFL player was talking about Jesus, and they cut to the technical difficulty screen and pulled them off. Because there's no power in the name of Muhammad, there's no power in the name of Shiva. They're all dead. But Jesus is alive, and he gave us use of his name. That when you use that name, cancer has to die. Tumors have to come out, blind eyes come open, deaf ears come unstopped. It is the wonderful, powerful, majestic name of Jesus. If you know that name, can you say it out loud? What's Jesus in Russian? Jesus, same in Spanish. You know, it's basically the same name in every religion: Italian, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, onda. It's the same because it's a name. It's a Mary and Joseph didn't get to go to a bridal or a uh OBGYN and pick out the name of their baby. The angel said, You don't get to pick the name, you will call him Jesus. Hallelujah. For he will save the people from their sins. Now, if you were nervous about anything as a preacher, or you know what's going on in America, now I'm starting to give you things that say this out loud. I'm too loaded to fail. Well, what have we talked about so far? Say I have the Holy Spirit. Say the Holy Spirit has me. Say, I have the word of God. Which say this, which is the two-edged sword of the Spirit. Say with me. Say the Word of God is a weapon. People don't like you quoting scriptures. Scriptures have power when they're said in faith. And then, so you've got the Holy Ghost, you've got the name of Jesus, and say this, uh uh, or the word of God, and say, I have the name of Jesus. Say it like you didn't pass away. Say, I have the name of Jesus. Let me see Philippians chapter 2, verse 5. Was that just something Peter could do and nobody else can do? You must have the same attitude, Jesus. Let me see King James at first. Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in the fashion of a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. You know, God will never ask you to sacrifice something that he doesn't have a reward on the other side of it. Thanks for six amens. God will never ask you to sacrifice something that there's not a reward on the other side. Did God have uh uh Abraham plunge a knife through Isaac's chest for fun? No. Once he went to do it, he said, Stop! Now that I see that you would not even withhold your only son from me. Stretch out your eyes, for as far as you can see, you're on land that I've given to you. That's why there's trouble in the Middle East, because people think they're messing with land, but they're messing with ancient covenants backed by God. Therefore, God also hath highly exalted him. So he humbled himself, and God the Father said, Because you agreed to do that, I'm gonna give you a reward. God has highly exalted him and given him a name which is above that at the mention of the name of Jesus. You know the Bible says, You shall call his name wonderful. What does that mean? Full of wonders. Like a mosquito that carries malaria is full of malaria, and if it bites you, you get malaria. The name of Jesus is full of wonders. Billy Graham was preaching in South Korea. I must have said Carolina, but it was South Korea. Two very different places. And uh he gave an altar call. You know, just preached like a simple Baptist salvation message. People come to the altar, he let them in the sinner's prayer. Jesus, come into my heart. Jesus, make me new. And a 68-year-old South Korean woman lifted up her hands and started yelling. So the ushers came to quiet her down. But she wasn't yelling to disrupt, she was yelling in Korean. I can see, I can see. 68-year-old woman born blind. When she said the name of Jesus, her eyes came open. Hallelujah. Billy Graham wrote in his newsletter because he's Southern Baptist, you know, they they believe they believe that stuff stopped, so he had to be careful what he wrote so he didn't lose his credentials. But he wrote, I think there might be more to Isaiah 53 than what many of us have been taught. Isaiah 53, by his stripes you were healed. So when he said Jesus, no teaching on healing, the name of Jesus knocked the blindness out of that lady's eyes. As we're talking about, that's why I'm I'm not like nitpicking. When I hear a minister pray, in your name we pray. Why why say that? First of all, it doesn't even make any sense because you're praying to the Father and his name isn't Jesus. So to say in your name, it's like people just think they're like praying to like a blob or something. They have like no understanding that there's a father, a son, and a Holy Ghost. And you go to the Father in Jesus' name. And the name of Jesus is not a religious article to include at the end of a prayer. The name of Jesus carries power to heal crippled limbs, to dry up cancer, to butt deafness out of ears, to make them mute to speak. There's nothing the devil's done to you that the name of Jesus will drive out of your life today. If you can testify to that, one more time. Clap your hands, all ye people. Shout unto God. Come on, make a little noise in South Carolina. Let the devil know that you know he's defeated. Somebody shout power. Power in the name of Jesus. And the Bible's telling you where it came from. There's a reason it has power. Every time you say that name, the devil's reminded that 2,000 years ago his greatest plan was brought to nothing. He's reminded that before Jesus died on the cross, he breathed his last, but before he did, he said, It is. That was a declaration to the devil that his reign of terror over mankind came to an end. So what's our job? I don't have to pray anything off anybody. All we are doing is enforcing what was done 2,000 years ago. People are in bondage. What does Hosea 4 6 say? My people are destroyed for a lack of. I already have told them to get too many clips ready. But if I got the one from Santa Ana, California, from recently, this this old Mexican guy was in the bleachers. We're doing an outdoor crusade in Santa Ana, California. And he had a hat on, like a Panama jack hat, flannel shirt, and he was listening intently as I preached. Came and got saved, took his hat off and put it over his heart and lifted his hand. And he came up to me after, and in broken English, he went, I see it now. Now it makes sense. I see what Jesus did for me. That's what preaching is. You're not trying to get something to someone, you're trying to get them to understand that the person that's tormenting you got his power stripped from him two thousand years ago. And when you say the name of Jesus, that prison door has to come open, and every chain of the devil has to fall flat. Let me see Philippians again. Let me see nine, because I forgot what nine said. Therefore, God hath highly exalted him. So say this with me. I'm getting a little more doctrinal than I'd like to be, but that's not a bad thing. Say this Jesus received his name by confirmation. Heaven picked the name. Then say this Jesus received his name by conquest. When he won, he was given a name that at the mention of that name, almost anybody, even in South Carolina, even in Florida, even in the South, they wouldn't call you if your kid was saying Jesus too much. Your son's causing quite a disturbance at school. What curse words do you say? No, he just says he's been talking about Jesus. Sounds like you're the one with the problem, ma'am. I had a guy when we started the church, our children's ministry is called Mighty Kids. My wife wrote the curriculum for it, and it's different. It's the only kids' books that have blood in it. Like Goliath actually getting his head cut off and stuff. And uh the kids got on fire for God. So one of the kids, and I'm I'm making this for a point, because I'm gonna tell you the devil is not the problem. Somebody that's been defeated and stripped of his power is too small to be blamed for anything. So, what's the problem? I was gonna tell you what the problem is. So, this kid, I think he was 10 in our church, he goes to his home computer and prints off 31 invitations to invite his friends to church. And passes them out, and the vice principal called home. Hey, we had uh uh you're we we had a little bit of a problem with your son today. What happened? He's never gotten in trouble before. Well, you know, he he he caused a problem. He brought invitations for all his friends that he printed out and invited them to church on Sunday, and we can't have him doing that. Now, here's the problem. Number one, the problem is that most Christians don't know anything about American law. That if it's illegal for him to do that, then no one can ever invite anybody to anything. You cannot discriminate. Don't ever let we're not being jerks, we're not overrunning Starbucks and preaching and stuff, but don't let them tell you, because this happens all the time. Let me take a side story off of this story. There was a girl that came to the altar when I was preaching in Georgia. The power of God hit her, she spoke in tongues, she was on the ground a long time, which is fine with me. And then when she went to get up and I was leaving, the Lord told me to tell her something. Today, when you got filled with the Holy Ghost, God gave you a burden or a desire to see your classmates know Jesus Christ. And when you were laying there speaking in tongues, God was speaking to you about starting a Bible study. She went, That's true. I said, Yes, this is confirmation. I said, now I'm gonna tell you another thing. When you go to tell your principal that you would like to start a Bible club at your school, he's going to tell you, we don't allow that. To which you are to tell him that the preacher at my church told me you would say that, and that if you won't let me do it, he's gonna get me a lawyer, and when I'm done, the school will be named after me. The next day, the next day she comes, he she comes back smiling like a butcher's dog. You're never gonna believe what happened. No, I believe I'm the one that said it. You're never gonna believe what happened. Um, I I asked the principal if I could start a club. He said, no, that that would cause problems, and I told her, I told her more things to say. You cannot have an LGBTQIA plus club, a gardening club, home ec, whatever, and then tell one group they can't do it, just like you can't allow a Christian club and tell the gays they can't have a club. You can't do it. It's called in Jamaican discrimination, and it works both ways. And so she said, he said, I can't allow that. And I told him, the preacher at my church said that you would say that, and to tell you that he's gonna get me a lawyer and sue you personally and sue the school until the school's named after me. I said, What happened? She said, It starts Monday. Yeah, we're not trying to be problems, but I can show you in the Bible. Anytime it's the difference between Canada and the United States. It's the difference between Europe and the United States. If you pull a European preacher and say you're making too much noise, you can't have that meeting, now it's changing now. I know there's I know there's uh uh uh people that are changing up, but this is what has happened for 35 years. You know, hey, you're making too much noise, you can't have church, um we're not gonna allow you to say that. You're making too much noise, you can't use that park, your music's too loud. Sorry, no, okay, we'll keep it down. They don't get it, that it's not the loudness of the sound, it's what you're making sound about. And so they acquiesce, and what happens? The enemy rolls in. The enemy, now you have churches in the United Kingdom that sent the gospel all over the world that are 1,400 seat churches that have nine people in them, 11 people in them, and are selling the property to become mosques. You're only one generation away from a nation losing everything it had. One of the so what did we start with? Why are we doing a week of meetings? Because it's time, if the devil didn't want us meeting on Sunday, it's time to take a week and meet all week and preach Jesus and get people saved and filled with the Holy Ghost and healed and kneecap every power of hell. If you receive it, shout aloud, hallelujah. Therefore, God hath highly exalted him and given so the other story, Pittsburgh. So this vice principal calls the mother in our church. I'm gonna tell you what the problem is. The problem's not the devil. That's why everybody likes to blame the devil, because then it takes the onus off you. The problem, you want to know how you know the problem was in the devil? Who put Jesus on the cross? Was it a collection of uh drug cartel members and prostitutes and casino owners? No, religious people that have a form of godliness and deny the power. So, this is the problem in Pittsburgh. Vice principal calls. Um, so he can't do that. Number one, you're not even correct legally. This isn't uh uh Islamabad. This is Pittsburgh. You can't even legally tell someone they can't do that. The Bible says not to sue. It says not to sue a brother. I could show you, in fact, let me show you some scriptures. Since I'm getting blank stares. Let me see Acts 16. Let me see Acts 16, verse 30. This is when the jail gets shaken. Sirs, what must I do to be saved? Go to go to keep going. You believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved in the house. 32, wash their wounds. He was saved and baptized, 33. 34. You can do NLT for this. 35 penalty. The next morning. So you think all they want you to think that as a Christian you're just a you know turn the other cheek. The Bible does say turn the other cheek, but you only have four cheeks. And after those have been turned, you can stand up. The next morning, the city officials sent the police to tell the jailer, let those men go. You know why they were telling them that? Because it was illegal to put them in jail for what they did. You were not allowed, even in the Roman Empire, you could not jail a Roman citizen without a trial. So when they found out they were Roman citizens, they said, Hey, um, we messed up, so just tell them they can go. Look what Paul says. So the jailer told Paul, hey, the city officials have said you and Silas are free to leave, go in peace. Paul replied, Oh, they've publicly beaten us without a trial and put us in prison, and we're Roman citizens. So now they want us to leave secretly? Certainly not.

unknown 45:01

Okay, thank you.

SPEAKER_02 45:04

No, let them come themselves to release us. 38. When the police reported this, the city officials were alarmed to learn that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, 39. So they came to the jail and apologized to them. Then they brought them out and begged them to leave the city. Is there a 40 or a 171? When Paul and Silas left the prison, they returned to the home of Lydia where they met with the believers. I mean, I love this. It just shows you what you're to be as a Christian. You just keep preaching. I preached yesterday morning. You guys did too. We're preaching tonight. They put Paul in prison, he leads the jailer to the Lord and preached. The Bible says, and then after he led him to the Lord, he shared the word of God with all that were in his house after midnight. Then he then he yells at the city officials in the morning, goes to his friend Lydia's house, they bring the believers over, and he cracks his Bible open and starts preaching again. Preachers are meant to preach. Do you know why I was never at one of Puff Daddy's parties? Because I'm preaching. I'm not hanging around Dallas looking to get invited to parties. When you quit preaching, you die. When you keep preaching, you can't get taken out. You blaze and blaze and blaze for God. Can I tell you something? In this section around this auditorium, God is raising up tonight a new generation of preachers that are gonna take the Bible and declare the wonderful things that God has done. How many Russian or Islamic background people are here? Let me see your hands. I didn't say I'm happy about it. Don't lose your Russian-ness. Don't lose, don't lose your strength when you become a Christian. You just change, you don't stop fighting, you just change partners. You stop fighting people and you start confronting powers of darkness. Did you know that the what's behind all sin? The powers of darkness. I could pull up clips. How many of you have watched me preach for at least two or three years? So you know I'm not saying, okay, so that must be my mother. You know that I'm not saying this off the cuff. In the midst of the fentanyl crisis, when we started that church in Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh was getting decimated by fentanyl. I stood up one Sunday and said, enough is enough. Because when I was praying about, the Lord said, Do you want to get people delivered one by one of fentanyl? Or do you want to just shut the faucet off at its root? I said that way. He said, Stand up today and declare Pittsburgh a fentanyl-free zone. Take authority over the powers that are bringing that. In fact, we did it in prayer one time. You have it? Dang, good job, Tessa. This was at a prayer meeting. I didn't have this in my notes. Somebody say these words with me. Say the Holy Ghost. Bible says the key to success in Christian life is walk in the Spirit, live in the Spirit, walk and live in the Spirit, be sensitive to the Holy Ghost. I got notes and I haven't even got the title because I'm being sensitive to the Holy Ghost. We're having a prayer meeting in the day, and it rose up in me. Enough is enough. Curse. Curse. Say with me. There are things to pray for. And there are things to pray against. Jesus taught you don't pray for mountains. You speak to them and tell them to move. Jesus said, Whatever you bind on earth, I'll back you from heaven and whatever you permit on earth. So why? Why do some places get run roughshod by the devil? The preachers don't stand up against the thing. You don't yell at homosexuals, you don't yell at drunks, you don't pick it outside of barns. You preach Christ. You take authority over the powers of sin. And it doesn't take long before one brick after another brick gets disploded from the fortress of the devil and the laws come crumbling down. I prophesy in the name of Jesus. Every stronghold of the devil in Woods, South Carolina, in Northern South Carolina, in Southern North Carolina, I command it to crumble this week in Jesus' name.

SPEAKER_01 49:24

In Jesus' name.

SPEAKER_02 49:41

Watch it. Go ahead. I cursed the cyanide of fentanyl into this city. And Jesus has a curse. I don't want to know. Okay, I'll pray. Then after the third one, Lord said, You want to keep doing this one at a time? Or do you want to fumigate? You want to kill one spider at a time, or just put a tent over the thing and chemical bomb it? Cut off the pipeline. Stop praying for each individual victim and curse the supply coming into the city. Continue. I curse the supply line of heroin and fentanyl to this city. There will be arrests in the next seven days. That came right out of my spirit because you know I want to know? As soon as it came out, Jesus said, out of your belly. Your spirit's in your belly. That's why you get gut feelings. And the problem is your head's up here and your mouth's here, so your head doesn't get a chance to veto what pops up. When I said in the next six days, my head was like, you should have said like 60 days. 600 days. Six days is tight. But it didn't even take that long. Everybody say it won't take long. It doesn't take long. Faith works now. Now faith is. If you're trying to get set up for some long recovery, I'm telling you, Jesus is gonna set you free tonight, whether the devil likes it or not. Continue. In Jesus' name. Let a curse come upon everybody that has a hand in the supply of the fruit. You never ever heard anybody talk like that in church? Curse? We don't curse. Oh, yeah. What did Jesus do when he went to the fig tree to eat figs and there was only leaves? Cursed it. He didn't want salad. He wanted figs. He said, My father made you to produce figs, and you don't have any. May nobody ever eat figs from you again. And the disciples marveled because it had withered from the root. Continue. Keep going. So then I'm not stupid. I watched the movie Sicario. That guy's not at the top. So what do you do? Where do Christians miss it too? They celebrate a small victory and quit. We prayed the next day. Whoever's pumping it to him, that guy's not top of the food chain. There's DA involved, there's CIA involved, on down the line. I wish I hadn't read as much as I've read. I wish I was stupid enough to think one drug dealer got caught. So then we kept cursing. And you know what came out at the beginning of this year? Fentanyl overdose deaths in the United States have fallen off a cliff. 23% down here over a year. And we're just in the beginning of the year. Now, you saw that cartel leader got taken out in uh Mexico yesterday?

SPEAKER_03 53:45

I'm just making sure nobody's armed.

SPEAKER_02 53:48

You saw that cartel leader got taken out in Mexico yesterday? Yes or no? Yeah, this isn't detention. You're not gonna get asked to leave if you speak. You know what that is? Did anybody watch our New Year's service? I prophesied that 2026 would be a year, and I don't like saying something that sounds kooky, but it's what the Lord told me. Everybody say, throw down. When Elijah came and said, enough's enough, we're gonna confront Baal, we're gonna confront Ashtera, and we're gonna see whose God is God, and we're gonna throw down those idols. The Lord spoke to me that every idol, everything that is hindering this last day move of God, because when you get into last day Bible prophecy, everybody thinks it's just a free-for-all where the devil can do whatever he wants. But did you know that God also has an agenda for the last days? Nine of you do? Are you nervous because I'm standing where I should be sitting? Did you know that God also has an agenda for the last days? And he said what it is in the last days saith God, not I'll try. I will pour out my spirit on how much flesh. That's Slavic flesh, that's Ukrainian flesh, that's Russian flesh, that's Slovak flesh, that's Czech Republic flesh, that's Polish flesh, Irish flesh, Italian flesh, West African flesh, Asian flesh, all flesh. Do you know why there's a blessing on this week? Because we're not trying to do our own thing. We're getting right in line with the wind of God that's blowing one last time from New York City to Maui, Hawaii, from Wasilla, Alaska to Laredo, Texas. America shall not be lost. America shall be shaken one last time by the power of God, and what yourself, Carolina won't be left out. If you believe it, let's celebrate it ahead of time. Take 60 seconds, clap your hands, all ye people. Shout unto God with the voice of triumph. The devil is defeated, the devil is defeated, Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You mean see that? Somebody shout amen like thunder. Somebody shout aloud amen. So fentanyl dropping. They say that the amount of university students identifying as transgender has fallen off a cliff. It's not in style anymore, it just got its legs kicked out from under it because the battles of life are spiritual. Abortion, uh uh, Planned Parenthood announcing they're gonna file for bankruptcy and probably fold up, closing more than one abortion center per week in the United States. The six largest ones in California closed. Everyone in Pittsburgh is now closed. That's right. I could pull up video on that that I said, do you think Planned Parenthood will be able to stay in this city with our church here? It won't happen. Darkness can't drive out light, darkness can't wrestle with light, light drives out darkness. That's why there's such a fight over churches like this getting built. That's why people malign, Pastor, and they've never even met him, have stuff to say that's not even true. Because the devil knows if he can't shut the mouth of the children of God, then we have the power to march him straight out of this country. And that's exactly what you're gonna see happen in 2026. The devil is getting his sorry rear end, blown right back out of this country. The church is triumphant, the church is victorious, there's a revival in the land, there's a revival in the schools, there's a revival in the churches.

SPEAKER_01 57:35

This is God's hour.

SPEAKER_02 58:06

Same is defeat! Depression's getting burnt out tonight! The devil is getting run out of your life tonight, whether he likes it or not. If you believe in a shout, yes. So I started talking about that uh principle. So listen to this. This is the irritating thing. He called that mother from our church. Your son passed out those invitations, he can't do that. But he said, I'm a Christian too, so I'll make sure he doesn't get in any trouble. You're not a Christian, you're a chump. You're you're the problem. The devil's not the problem, you're the problem. Christians like you ruin this country. A Christian telling a boy, you don't even know the Constitution, you've got no business teaching school. You can't be passing those invitations out. Want to bet? Wanna go to court and find out? I already got three court cases open. I don't mind going a fourth. This is my court suit. Hallelujah. Got a fellow outlaw in the crowd. Oh, hell, he can pass out invitations. So who stopped him? The LGBT teacher? No. Atheist teacher? No. What's up, brother? I knew you'd like me. He's got a t-shirt that says stay wild. Apparently, instead of getting him riddled, and his parents just said, you know what? Keep him wild. You watch me? Where do you watch me? Where? I don't come around here. I tried once and they threw me out. But now I'm back and stronger than ever. Hallelujah. We're gonna have revival. I say we're gonna have revival. What do you do when the devil tries to stop you? Go back a second time. Keep going. Walk on his head. Hallelujah. This thing's out of control. This is a wild Holy Ghost meeting. It's gonna get more Holy Ghosts. It's gonna be a home of signs and wonders here for a week. Hallelujah! The devil's gonna have the worst week that he's ever had in South Carolina. And you're gonna have the best week that you've ever had in Jesus' name. So, for 35 years, that type of Christian that became vice principal, that guy's my age. So he went the other route. He went the route that they tried to train me to go. You know, be careful, don't pray for the sick. Don't cast out devils, they'll think you're weird. Don't yell too loud. Just sit on a stool, speak nicely while you hold the latte, bore everyone to tears. But promise them you won't be too long. That's how you know you're one crappy preacher when the first words out of your mouth are I won't be long. You know, you know how to know you're at a bad party is when you walk through the door, you go, it's not gonna be that long, so don't worry. No. Was that how the early church was? They were rejoicing coming in the doors. Stay there and enjoy the blessing of God. Can you say amen? I don't know what happened. I kind of know what happened to me. Two things major happened to me. The first thing I was gonna tell you was when I was eight, my parents sent me up to change for bed. My aunt and uncle are here, you can ask them, I had a severe speech impediment. Eight sounds in the alphabet I couldn't say right, and there's only 26 letters in the U.S. alphabet, so that's not a good percentage. How many letters in the Russian alphabet? 33. So I was in worse shape than if I spoke Russian. Because six out of out of 26 is bad. I had to miss recess twice a week to get speech therapy, and they never were able to fix one sound. And my parents sent me up to change for bed, and I bent over and picked my pajamas up, and when I looked up, there was an angel on the other side of the room. And I just stood still and was quiet. Because he looked, people said, What do you look like? He looked like he he you know he was not to be messed with. Very bright. Jonathan, God has reserved you for this last period of time. So if it was the last period of time in 1988, we're in the end of the last period of time now. God has reserved you for this last period of time to be an evangelist, to call men and women that are now in darkness into the light. For soon it will be eternally too late. Do you understand? You say, I don't believe that. I don't blame you. But it happened, and it's the only angel I've ever seen before since then. I know some people on Christian TV say they go to heaven up to nine times a day. That one lady said that I go to heaven sometimes nine times a day. I was watching it with my dad, and he went, and they keep sending her backmarked wrong address. Jonathan, God has reserved you for this last period of time to be an evangelist, to call men and women who are now in darkness into the light. For soon it will be eternally too late. Do you understand? And I said, yes. And the angel disappeared. And I felt different. And you can ask my aunt and uncle here, if you'd have met me when I was seven or nine, I'd have told you I was gonna be doing exactly what I'm doing right. I knew. I knew what my mission was in life. That's why when Dr. Fauci told all the churches to shut down, I was with my wife. I said, if we're to stop preaching during this time, then God can send that angel back and tell me. But I'm not taking orders from that three-foot doctor. Because I don't care. I'm in two different court cases in Pittsburgh for our church being too big. We're actually banned. This isn't even legal. I just can only sue so many things at a time. They they sent a letter to our church that our church people are not welcome to park in Pittsburgh Public Parking. I don't think you can do that. But I gotta finish the other lawsuits first. So if you end up hearing that it's been changed to Jonathan Town, you'll know I want all my lawsuits. Do you want to know where the boldness came from? It's not because I'm macho or I'm on testosterone replacement or whatever. It comes from that angel. I son to that realm. I know one day I'm gonna go back into that realm and give an account for what I've done in this body. And I don't care about lawsuits. I don't care about prison. When COVID hit, and they told me they were gonna arrest me several times, almost every week, because we kept traveling and preaching. The Department of Health would say, if you hold a meeting here, we're gonna arrest you. They never did. Somebody said to me, What are you gonna do if you get arrested? What do you think I'm gonna do? Exactly what I'm doing right now, just in different clothes. And you know, one person, one one, by the way, it wasn't sinners much who called and said, What are you gonna do? You need to, you know who was calling? Christian leaders. You're gonna make us look bad. You already look bad. Do you not own a mirror? You look awful. And I had nothing to do with it. You're gonna make us look bad. Since when? Listen, if you want to look good to this earth, then just quit the faith right now. There is no version of Christianity that that messes with the world. The Bible says the The Bible says there is a spirit of the world and a spirit of Christ. Those two never have mixed, those two never will mix, and every Christian will never be anything of note until you make up your mind. I am dead to the spirit of this world, and I am alive under the spirit of God, and I give my life to be a vessel of honor fit for the master's use. A party party planner. Whatever you want at that party, he'll get you. Drugs, alcohol, girls, whatever you're looking for. That's what he did. I asked him when I was preaching in California. I said, when you were doing that in the Bronx, how many times did you have to go to court? Zero. Then he's been in court with me however many times. No court as that guy, preacher, has to go to court. We're not there for punching people or assault or drunk driving. We're there because, in fact, while I'm on the subject and my blood pressure's getting up, I'll tell you more. Did you know we actually, do you know why we won our case? That the average church loses 97% of the time and there's no court case. It's a 10-minute phone call with the judge, and you're out. We put that 10 up. We outgrew our one building, went to another building. The mayor sued that no churches are allowed to meet in that building and won, and it's not my building, so I can't sue back. So I just left. We got that property in Baywood, started holding services there. People went ballistic. So we go to court. Did you know when the city came in there? Do you know why they lost their case? Our attorney said to the guy that's the city council. They said, Did you know there's a tent that's the exact same size as this church's tent at um Moon Township Country Club? He said, No, I didn't know. And our attorney said, How could you not know? You're a member at that club. You've never seen it? It's a huge tent. Oh, yeah, no, yeah. I guess I have seen it. He said, You want to know how how long it's been up? Would you be how attorneys talk the good ones? Would you be surprised if I told you it's been up more than five years? No, I'd believe that. Would you be surprised if I told you it's been up more than 10 years? No. Would you be surprised if I told you it's been up 15 years? And how many times in that 15 years has it been cited or inspected? Zero. Guy's face is beat red. And then this church puts a 10 up, and within five days, you've got all the people there inspecting it and finding them and taking them to court to shut it down. Well, this guy was so dumb. He literally said, Well, that's because it's a church and it's not zoned for religious use. So that our attorney goes, So you're telling me if it was the Jonathan Shuttlesworth drinking party that was going to be taking place for eight days, we want to be in court today? And he went, That's right. And his attorney went like this. Right in front of the judge. Like it's over. Because he actually spoke like a fool and told that this doesn't have anything to do with tens. It's we don't want this kind of church. What kind of church? Because it's not me. If Pastor Slov, uh say Slavik was here, it'd be the same thing. It's a different skin. If it was my father, it'd be him. If it was whoever. It's not the person, it's the power. I know how to make all the court cases go away. Don't pray for the sick, don't curse the supply of fentanyl to the city. You're taking away people's money, not gangsters' money, everybody's money. You're taking away the money. What are we finding out right now in Minnesota? That there's a ton of money to be made off of your kids being called uh uh disabled, mentally disabled. And the money never, eight billion dollars never got to one kid. It's a money-making racket. And when you start to preach and set people free, a shockwave goes through and cuts down the money supply of the wicked. But I have news for the devil. The money supply of the wicked is drying up because the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. Can you say amen? Go ahead and clap for come to pass, beginning right now. That's why we're packed out on a Monday night, and it's gonna grow from here. This is time for the devil to get thrown down and the church to explode. If you believe it, can you say amen? Hallelujah, hallelujah. Just lift your hands if you're filled with the spirit. Begin to pray in the spirit. Jesus is here right now. Jesus is putting fresh strength in people right now. Come on, pray. You can go above six decibels. Presto re kata. Indiana mondo re kandiana bosta, pando re kandiana moste, bindiono more katia. Thank you for fresh fire. Thank you for fresh oil. In Jesus' name we've prayed and worshiped, and everybody said, Acts 8. But the believers who were scattered preached the gospel of Jesus Christ wherever they went. Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto them. Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miracles that he did. Say that with me. Say, hear the message and see the miracles. So what produces the miracles? Everybody say the message. Yeah, you can't get up and preach some divided, double-minded message. Now, we believe God can heal, but then at the same time, we have to remember my Aunt Bertha had a corn on her foot and we prayed and it got bigger until she had to wear only sandals. You can't preach a split stream and have God confirm it. And most preachers, when you hear them, you can tell they went to seminary because they can't preach anything without having a one-man debate. Now, on one hand we know, but then it's like you can tell they've not settled it for themselves. But then if you preach healing, I'm gonna show it to you in Houston, Texas. It's the first time we ever broke, and that's what I'll close with tonight, and then we'll come back and just pick up where we left off after I pray for everybody. I was playing video games in my house, and I wasn't praying, I was just chilling. And there was a break in between the two games. I had my head set on playing with my friends, and all of a sudden I felt the Lord speak to me out of the blue. Find a place with high childhood poverty and give them toys and tell them this is from Jesus. Because Satan likes to take what's meant to be a happy time and turn it into a sad time. That's why a lot of people, the biggest tragedy they ever had is around Christmas. But then Jesus brings joy back where the devil brought sorrow. There's people here that are full of sorrow, but you're gonna leave full of joy. If I'd have finished reading Acts chapter 8, it says that many that were paralyzed, many evil spirits came out, and many, there it is, many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims, like that thing on the top of the airplane hanger over Epstein's plane. And many who had been paralyzed were healed. Eight. So there was great. What? So then if that's what you see in the book of Acts, why do most churches look like they're having Jesus' funeral every Sunday? Welcome to church today. Are you excited to be here? Are you excited to be here? Tell your faith. I mean, no, it's such a wondrous thing to know God. Do you know him? Because you look like you died last year. I mean, no. I mean, there's many trials, but God gives us joy in the trials. Amen. Uh, you sound like you're on every antidepressant that's on advertised during the price is right. God is putting joy back in the church. Christians should be the happiest people on the face of the earth. Supernatural joy. Someone shout, joy, unspeakable and full of glory. Clap your hands one more time under that God. Rejoice! Rejoice in the Lord always. The joy of the Lord is your shriek. The joy of the Lord is your shriek. Hallelujah! Say the love, the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. One more time, the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. Hallelujah! What a wonderful Jesus! What a mighty Jesus! What a holy Jesus! What a powerful Jesus! King of kings, Lord of Lords, Lion of the Travel!

SPEAKER_01 1:16:07

Hallelujah!

SPEAKER_02 1:16:16

There's great joy in the city. Great joy, not joy, great joy. Hallelujah. They tried to paddle that joy out of me from the time I was about four. People, if they could, would still paddle me. But I'm too slippery, I get away. They can't, if the devil can't take your joy, he can't take your strength. And if he can't take your strength, he can't steal your goods. So he tries to have one problem after another, body blow after body blow, till you lose your joy. But then you know what revival is? Revival means revive. You can't revive something that hasn't been vibed at least once. I know you thought you were safe sitting back here, but I'm a traveling evangelist. And so God will take you in a service like this, and in one breath from heaven, all the joy that got sucked out of life through divorce and tragedy and drunk driving accident, loss of a child. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will take joy from heaven and put an overflow of that joy down in your heart. He's doing it right now. You're gonna you're gonna sail through 2026 on waves of joy, waves of healing, waves of peace. Joy is coming back to the children of God tonight. I close with this. So here's the pattern. You go, preach, minister. The Lord speaks to me. Find a place you can be seated with high childhood poverty and uh have a Christmas meeting and give them all toys from me. And so, because he said from him, I probably should have been nervous, but I never realized how big of a mess I got myself in until after it was all over. Because I had it's the gift of faith. You just don't realize why you're going through it. You know, why did Daniel go to sleep in a lions then? Because you just when the gift of faith is on you, you just don't notice anything. So 17 days out, we picked Houston, Texas, a bad part of Houston, Texas, and announced everybody's gonna get toys. Well, we've done this before, we have 800 to 1,200 people show up. This is this December. And um, this time we had 10,000 people register in the first 36 hours, and we had 52,000 people register. Now, not everybody shows up, just like everybody doesn't show up for their restaurant reservations, vote. I had budgeted a thousand toys. Now, if you go to Section 8 housing in Houston, Texas, and you tell everybody they're gonna get a toy and you run out of toys, you're gonna run out of blood. They're gonna find you in a ditch missing your sneakers. You can't, that'll go south quick. It's hard to keep it organized when there is enough for everybody. Well, the budget went from whatever we were gonna do to$1.2 million worth of toys were needed to keep our promise. Now think of this. If I was a normal person, which you've ascertained by now, I am not, I would have done one of two things. I would have either shut the registrations down so it didn't get bigger or cancel the event, or say only the first thousand can come. But I thought, you know what? If we're gonna go down, let's go down swinging. I've been believing for 10,000 people to come. I've never had 10,000 people show up at a crusade in the United States ever. I got 9,600 in Newark, New Jersey, and that was the closest I ever came. So let's go. Let's just see what happens. Let's just, I'm not gonna, I'm I'm gonna just leave it to the Lord. So I'm upstairs watching hockey on uh in my upstairs room chilling. One of the days I had off, it was near Christmas time, you know. So I I was off. And um, a guy calls me that's connected to the White House, and he's my friend. So he goes, hey, I saw that that uh thing you're doing in Houston, Texas. He said, That's pretty cool. How many people have signed up? I said, a ton. It's getting close to 50,000. He said, Do you have enough toys? That was the first I ever thought about. I said, uh no, I don't. He said, Well, what are you gonna do? And he was nervous. If you study the Bible, when you operate in the gift of faith, God will make other people nervous on your behalf, they'll do your worrying for you. Because when Daniel slipped in the lions, then what was Nebuchadnezzar doing? He's pacing back and forth. He's actually praying, oh God of Daniel, be with him. So that's what happened. He said, He said, Well, that's gonna be a lot of money. I said, Yeah, it'll probably be about 1.2 million. He said, Do you have it? I said, I'll have it when it's time. You know, but Jesus said, Jesus said, Take no thought upon tomorrow. I think if he could talk to me, he'd go, take a little thought upon tomorrow. I'm not worried about it. So uh it wasn't my idea anyway. So he go, so he he gets nervous. He goes, I'm gonna make a couple phone calls. He said, I know the White House wants to do stuff uh like this, so let me call. I get a call back in a few hours that three companies, this is all within 17 days, three companies have decided to give toys for 70% off. Three 18 wheelers full of toys for 70% off. So whatever it was, I now owed like$400 and some thousand dollars. Oh, fine, I have that's a big miracle. They must say it keeps getting better. See, if you'll stay on the path of faith, it keeps getting brighter and brighter. That's why the devil wants you to just uh like after like two minutes. Well, I'm a little better. Let the thing cook, let it work. He that began a good work and you will bring it to completion. God's never done with you, he's keeping taking you higher and higher and higher. So I keep getting better news. Hey Jonathan, you're never gonna believe this. I didn't call them. Those guys that said they'd sell it for 70%, they looked you up. I was thinking I was gonna say they looked you up and they're gonna charge you a full price. They looked you up and they said they like what you're doing. They're gonna give you the toys.$1.2 million worth of toys. All you have to do is pay for the 18-wheeler drivers, three of them. One from Washington State, one from California, and I can't remember where the other one was from. Uh DC, I think. Which was 18,000, 6,000 a driver. NBD to go from 1.2 million to 18,000, that's no problem. Then they call back again the next day. The drivers found out what they're doing and where they're driving to, and they said, as a Christmas gesture, they want to just do it for free. None of these people are Christians. Okay. Everybody say the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. Now, if the toy companies are watching, I'm not calling you, I'm making a point later. You're great. I'm not calling them wicked, but I'm gonna make a point here. So we get, and they're nice toys, like go-karts, uh, not game boys. Switch. I felt so old today, right before I left. My daughter left her switch in my car. I said, Camilla, you left your Game Boy in my car.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:14

I thought, good Lord, how old am I?

SPEAKER_02 1:23:18

Nintendo Switch, go-karts, I'm talking great gifts. And then the day of the crusade, 10,300 people showed up. Unchurched, unsaved. And I said, What I always say at these things, I said, a pastor that only tells you about Jesus and doesn't help you with your needs is a bad pastor. Because Jesus said to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. I said, but on the flip side, a pastor that just gives you toys, you know, my my wife, her brother got bounced out of their car. They hit a pothole in New York, it ejected their three-year-old brother out of the car, and he was on life support two days before Christmas. They don't need a flat screen television, they don't need a Nintendo Switch, they need a miracle. So I said, the same way it would be wrong for me to only tell you uh uh give you things or tell you about Jesus and not give you things. I said, there's some people here, if I gave you all three 18 wheelers full of toys, it won't fix what's wrong. There's addiction problems, there's legal problems, there's sickness and disease that's terminal. And I said, so the same way I'd be a bad pastor to only tell you about Jesus and give you toys, if all I did today was give you toys and not tell you about Jesus, I'd be a pathetic excuse for a minister. So let me quickly tell you about Jesus. And I preached a message, not a quick one. I preached on the seven spots Jesus bled from when he made a sacrifice, and how each place he bled redeemed us from something. The sweat of his brow redeemed us, the blood that came through his brow redeemed us from having to worry or have sorrow. The blood that came from his beard, he was beaten and dismembered or disfigured so that we could have glory and not be disfigured by sin. The spikes that went through his hands redeemed our hands, that instead of our hands doing evil, we can lay our hands on the sick and the sick recover. The spike that went through his feet redeemed our feet, that wherever the sole of our foot shall tread, we're on land that he's given to us. The stripes that went on his back purchased our healing. And when the spear went up through his side, it opened up a new and better way. And then I want to show you when we gave the altar call, how many people came, and then I said, Everybody that wants to align up, and I'm gonna pray for you. And it is so powerful because these are, as you'll see, completely unchurched, unsaved people. Hey, you would think people would say, No, thanks, I don't need any of that. I came for the toys, I've received Jesus, I don't need the extra stuff. Everybody lines up. Then the power of God, there's one lady you're gonna see me just like not leaving her alone. When I got to her, I knew, now I'm not gonna make a big scene about it, I knew four things that were wrong with her. One was with addiction, one was with childhood trauma, one was with a sin bondage that she couldn't get free from, and the other was damage to the organs from her body from drinking. I prayed for her, she shot out onto the asphalt. There's people who don't know anything about falling out under the power. And then she's crying. I said, Let me help you back up and prayed again. I felt like Benny Hinn in 1998. Went back down again, prayed again, went back down, prayed again, went back down, and I kept my hand on her head as she was crying and then hugging the altar worker. These are unchurched, unsaved people you're about to see. And I'm showing you this, not so you can think I've got a great ministry or brat. I'm telling you, you're not gonna see this on the news, but soon you are gonna see it on the news because it's gonna be happening so much they won't be able to hide it. This is a year of God running a wrecking bomb over the camp of the devil. People are gonna get saved by the hundreds of thousands. Churches are gonna explode and explode and explode. The devil will rule the day. He didn't take you out when he had the chance. This is your year. In Jesus' name. Go ahead and roll it.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:32

When God speaks, you move quickly. Revival today went into action, and in just 17 days, this event came to the time.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:48

Where'd they go? Literally, I'm asking you, where'd they come from?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:52

How did five advertising caught fire? In one week alone, more than 20,000 people registered. Whites Ministry, the National Faith Advisory Board, Citizer, and others donated two 18 willers filled with over 22,000 toys.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:12

I was gonna tell you this at the end, but I'm gonna tell you now, and then we'll just enjoy the video and pray. So then, once the White House saw that when they donated all that, all of it got to the people the same week. It was well organized, nobody was trampled to death, no money went missing. After this Minnesota stuff broke, I got a call. You know that$8 billion of fraud they found? They want to do something with that money to make sure it gets to the people. And since they saw that you do it and don't steal, they want to have a meeting with you at the White House meet in May to see if we can come together with an agreement for you to be a channel to get that money that was being abused into the hands. I'm getting exactly what I preached. And I know. Now listen, anybody that's here that would say I wouldn't take any money from the government if I were you, I agree. So I'm sure they're gonna have a paper for me to sign, and I'm gonna have about 45 for them to sign. But I feel the wind of heaven on this thing that the devil is going down and the church is going up. And I mean, before we leave the earth, we're gonna have a victory parade on this earth and take souls out of the devil's hand in Jesus' name. Continue.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:33

I came to tell the devil something in Houston. Java is sufficient. It's time for the people of Houston to be free. I tell you in the name of Jesus, from the back, from the front, the tide is turning in your life today. As hard as life used to be.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:08

You don't want to let me cry like that. Like it's the middle of the day. You know, something like it's the end of a long day. People are barely holding it together. When you start telling them, you don't have to hold that anymore. You don't have to take care of the needs of like seven people, and you don't have enough for any of the seven. Jesus is a burden bearer. Any of you that have been alive for any period of time, even if you're in your 30s, you know that when you have trouble, people go missing. My phone was dead quiet during COVID, those two weeks I was preaching when you're supposed to be shut down. I didn't hear from anybody. Just my mom. And then uh Jesus is the exact opposite. John chapter 5, he went to the section of Jerusalem where all the crippled, blind, mame, that means missing hands and stuff. He went there where they're at. Hey, how long has it been since you couldn't walk? Want to walk? Get up. And the man starts walking. He seeks out people that are in trouble. He leaves the 99. I am the good shepherd. I leave the 99 and I go after the one. If you're here today and you feel like the most out-of-place person in the whole building, somebody brought you here, you didn't even know why you were coming here. I'm telling you, Jesus loves you. He loves you so much, he already died for you. You don't have to talk him into forgiving you. He already paid for it. And today he sent me, with no better people available, to yell at you that Jesus loves you. And whatever you're going through, you're only one prayer away from his power, pulling you up out of that pit. And you know what I love before I put the rest of the video? I love, I love that you can just, you know, Buddhists can't do this. Islam can't do it, Scientology can't do it. There's no other religion that can gather just a group of people on the field. They gotta like trick you into joining, or you have to be born in it. You know, Scientology down in Florida, they have like a personality profile thing they'll do on Saturday and kind of get you in. But Christianity, you just get a big crowd, start yelling. Jesus loves you, He has power. You just start bragging. Oh, the old evangelist R. W. Shambok said you just brag about Jesus long enough and he shows up to see what you're talking about. And then you just see people that had their armor. Because it hits them right here. Black people, Indian people, white people, Slavic doesn't matter. Because he's not an Asian God, he's not an African God, he's not an English God, he's not an American God. He's the Lamb that was slain for every tongue, every tribe, every nation, and every race. If you know him, can you clap your hands one more time? Go ahead, finish it.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:45

No more poverty. Jack of my poverty struggling for food. No more struggling for a place to live. I'm gonna introduce you to somebody. Oh, you don't mean it's going to see the eye. His name is El Shut up.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:05

As Pastor Jonathan sitting on the ground, that's just powerful to me. No catchers, very hard eyes, like like nut she's no crier. Jesus is wonderful. Just let all the pain out. Like if you took a knife and opened some of the other blood cup, I can take everything that's inside and just take it out and replace a new heart. I'll give you. Keep going.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:31

More than enough. And you'll get nothing. As Pastor Jonathan preached, tears filled the crowd and bondages were broken. When the altar call was given, hundreds responded. In total, we saw 10,000 three.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:47

You know, there's a couple of gangsters that started coming to our church in Pittsburgh. I won't go into the long story. They were matching redheads. And the one guy that's the head of the gang was a Division I football star uh that was headed to the NFL and he got injured. He's a big guy. So he came back and waited after me for an hour to talk. Hey, Beck, I love it here. I said, I love having you here. Why haven't you signed up to be on security? I said, I could use you. You know, I said, you can spot people that are troublemakers, right? I said, you saw those people storm into that church in Minnesota. I said, I need guys that know how to handle themselves and can spot somebody that's here for the wrong motives. I said, you have those skills, right?

unknown 1:34:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:26

I said, well, just use them for the Lord. He said, how can I, when do I sign up? I walked him over to our head utter Butch, and Butch got him signed up. So now we got him on our side. I'm telling you, if somebody tries to storm our church in Pittsburgh, they're gonna die breadneck ways, Crips ways, cartel ways. It's like this church. I almost hope somebody comes in to disrupt with all these Russian ushers. People come out missing fingers. Amen. What happened to you? I got out of line at that church down there. The devil's in for a bad year. You're in for a good year. In Jesus' name. Keep it going.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:09

This is not the devil's time in America. This is America's time to come to Christ. Our generation will be saved. Say that out loud.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:24

Every hand lifted, every eye closed. Father, I thank you that this job to see the nations of the world lit ablaze with the fire of the Holy Ghost, it's not a one-man job. So I pray, among other things, that you start raising up ministers out of this meeting. I pray that young people, where's that kid that's got the um that greeted me with the black shirt? What's his name? Angel. Let me see you real quick. Your parents named you hoping for the best. Lift both hands, close both eyes. Hey, sometimes when you when you watch me preach, do you ever think that you'd like to do that one day? I thought so. Lift both hands. I know, because I was you. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for this desire you put an angel to preach. Let me see your right hand. That's why you like my preaching. Keep your hand on his life. Anoint him tonight with the Holy Ghost and set him apart. And when he gets old enough, make sure he doesn't marry some psycho woman. In Jesus' name. Amen. Thanks for being here. I'm do great things for God. Every hand lift. Rikoroste. Dindiana mon dore. Thank you, Jesus. So, two things. God will raise up young ministers like he did when I was that age. And then he's gonna, old ministers or people who have been doing it a while, and you got beaten down. You got surrounded by the wrong people. Tell you what, doesn't work here. South's different. There's a church on every corner. No one. God's putting fresh wind into you. This lady in the gray jacket and top. Mind if I pray for you? Take a couple steps forward. Lift both hands, close both eyes. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for fire.

unknown 1:37:20

Thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:22

Thank you for fire. In Jesus' name. Take more. Now, where does the healing come from? How are you gonna preach Sunday morning, Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night? Then I'm flying Friday night to Arizona to do our church there and then back to Pittsburgh. How are you gonna do that at 50%? You can't even do that at 100%. So God gives you strength for your body to use you. Those that produce fruit, I will prune them so they produce even more fruit. That means God will keep God will personally attend to your body so that you can keep producing fruit. Are you? How come I know you? Where do I know you from? Where have I seen you? Oh. Let me pray for you. That's your wife? All right. Step out if you would, both of you. I thank you, Lord, for a fresh anointing. Lift both hands to the Lord. By the way, you saw some people fall down when I pray. I don't care if you fall down or not. So you don't have to like stay when I pray like this, like you'll never knock me down. I'm not looking to. If the goal is to fall down, I'd everybody lay down at 7.45, get up and go home. But when the you asked that lady down in the they tricked those people, nobody tricked her. She didn't even know anything about prayer or anything. But when the Holy Spirit makes contact, something's gonna give. Can you say amen? Lift your hands even higher. Fresh anointing, fresh fire, fresh power. Everything goes to another level this year. Everything goes to another level this year. Everything you're believing for. Command it to be done. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. Is that thine the glory, thine the power? Revive us again. Sing that one time. Every every hand lifted in your seat. It's a good song.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:33

Thy the glory revive us all.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:42

This couple here. Nice sport coat and then the Burberry scarf. Step out of the hell if you want. Shoulder to shoulder. Here's a fresh wind of strength coming on your body to extend your life and your productivity and fruitfulness. This is a word for both of you. As you sowed the strength of your youth into my work when you were younger, now you receive a harvest of my strength in your own. I won't have you go like others go. Put your hand on your lower stomach. Any growth, anything in your body that wasn't planted there by God, come out. In Jesus' name. Your prostate receives a touch, and the rest of your body receives a touch. In Jesus' name.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:41

In the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:49

Everybody say thank you, Jesus. Is that everyone saying thank you, Jesus? You don't like people getting healed? Everybody say thank you, Jesus. We love you, Jesus. Wonderful are you, Lord. And if you don't want prayer, just look straight ahead like this. Then I'll know not to pray for you. Freaking relax. Every hand lifted. Be blessed in Jesus' name. I bless you in the name of Jesus. Hey, hey, Tessa, where's that um scripture? I think it's in Acts chapter 3. I'm pretty sure it's in Acts chapter 3 when Peter's preaching and he said, Jesus came to bless the people. Uh is it Acts 3.26? I could be wrong, but it's 3.26-ish. KJV. Jesus came. Peter's telling the people about Jesus, and he said he came to bless the people. Yep. Unto you first, God having raised up his son Jesus. Why did he send Jesus? To bless you. Remember, said Jesus came to bless me. He wants to bless you. Says that right there. Jesus came to bless you in turning every one of you away from his iniquities. That's what that lady had there. Turn away from your iniquities. She didn't know. People don't know there's another way you can live. Nobody actually lives like that. That's why I could, I you know, no news covered me having 10,000 people and all that happening. But if I wanted to make the news, all I have to do is have an affair tonight. Then the devil makes sure it hits front page. So everybody goes, No, see, nobody actually lives like that. That's all that's all nonsense. But you ever say you can live like that. Now make it personal. Say, I will live like that. Say, I'm gonna live a holy life. I'm gonna walk in the power of the Spirit. I'm gonna do what God tells me to do. I'm gonna be who God tells me to be. Now close your eyes and lift your hands. Just let him touch you. He'll take you at your word. God expects you to take him at his word, and he takes you at your word. Thank you, Jesus. A fresh wave of the Holy Spirit. I thank you, Father, that in this meeting this week, many, like 40 plus young people are gonna get called into the ministry. I pray a new generation of Slavic preachers will be raised up out of this meeting that carry the fire of God all through the United States and abroad. In Jesus' name. I think her jacket right here. White shirt. Yes. Step into the aisle if you would. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Lift your hands right where you're at. As you do, the power of God comes upon you. Everything you came to this meeting, believing for tonight.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:58

In Jesus' name. More. More. And more.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:05

Jesus' name. I got good at doing that during COVID because some of the pastors didn't want you touching people. So just started throwing it. Praise God. Hallelujah. I pray for this guy, first row, second section with your one hand up. Stand up and lift both hands to the Lord. Power of God's on you. I'm not going to lay hands on you because I would need a stepladder. Father, I thank you for your wind that's blowing through this meeting right now. And I thank you for your fire that's dropping on people's lives right now. That from tonight they will never be the same. Never the same. In Jesus' mighty name. I thank you for it. I thank you for it, oh Lord. Thank you for more fire. In Jesus' name. I pray for this lady in the jacket with the hoodie. Hoodie thing? Right here. Just step down to the aisle if you would.

I was praying for a lady at the hospital and I was praying quietly, but when I got to the Jesus part, I said, In Jesus' name. And the nurse came and said, Can you keep it down? I went, No. I don't come when you're doing surgery and go, no, don't do it like that. Leave me alone. But at church, you could you, how many of you glad there's a big old building in Woodruff, South Carolina that's consecrated to let God's power move. I don't know that you guys are together, but let me have all three of you. I know you two are together. All three of you step forward. We'll start praying quicker now. All three. I receive it. Hundredfold return for you. Let's see your hand. In Jesus' name. Amen. Lift your hands to the Lord. Thank you. I wasn't expecting that.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:44

I'm not saying this to be positive. I'm telling you, people are being healed right now in their seats. Many, many people are being healed right now by God's power. I want you to listen to this now. I didn't know this because I'm not a doctor, but a doctor that I know said he was going to do a transfusion in somebody, and the the head of the medical staff said, you can't use that blood because it's expired. He was just coming out of medical school, and he didn't know human blood loses its its its potency after a time. So if it's donated, it has an expiration date. But the blood of Jesus never loses its power. And I want to tell you, when you sin, you don't have to sin, but if you've sinned, you know there's a gross feeling when you leave the bar or the club or wake up the next morning next to the person you're not married to, and that feeling is sin. And you try to drink it away, you try to smoke it away, you try to medicate it away, you try to get in the shower and clean it off, but none of that you can't smoke it off, you can't drink it off, you can't shower it off. But the blood of Jesus that never loses its power will wash that sin out of you and cleanse you of it and make you new. And that's what the altar calls for. It's not to join the Protestant church, it's to have an encounter with Jesus Christ, the head of the church. Jesus is alive. He told Thomas, you believe because you've seen, but blessed are those who, though they've never seen, they believe. But one day you're gonna see him. And the goal is to not meet him as your judge, but to meet him as your Lord, and the one that welcomes you into heaven. You can't decide then, you decide now. So I want to ask you, I'm not asking you if you're religious, I'm not asking you if you own a Bible, I'm not asking you if you believe the Bible, not asking you if you were baptized as an infant. I'm asking you, can you identify a time in your life that you publicly came to an altar like the two people that are over there did without anybody asking them to, and made that day. What's today? February, February 23rd, February 23rd, 2026. That's the day that I told the devil goodbye and opened my heart and said, Jesus, come into my heart. You are the Lord of my life. If you've never done that tonight, I want you to imagine the clean feeling of laying your head on your cool pillow tonight and knowing your sins, though they were many, they're all forgiven. And one day when Christ comes back to the earth, you're gonna meet him as your Lord, not as your judge. Would you give me the privilege to pray with you tonight? One prayer will blow all that other stuff out of your life and open you up to the goodness of heaven. If you're here and you say, Jonathan, I've never publicly received Jesus Christ. Remember I said that guy at that school was the problem. I'm a Christian, but your son can't pass the stuff out. You know, about 35 years ago, they stopped calling people to the altar. Lift your hand where you are. I see that hand. Now you don't even do that. Then you just scan a QR code. It's all private. Everybody in the Bible that God called, he called them publicly. Adam, where art thou? Then the Bible says, Come out from the crowd, be ye separate. How did they know 3,000 were saved and added to the church on the day of Pentecost? They came out of that crowd and came and responded to Peter's message, and that's what I want you to do. There's something about coming out of the crowd and saying, I don't care what a room full of people think, I care what's right that sets the tone for the rest of your life. 35 years of camouflage altar calls produced a camouflage church. But tonight, there's gonna be a new generation that says, I don't care what the world thinks, I care what pleases God. If you're here and you say, Jonathan, that's me. When you pray tonight, I want you to pray with for me and with me. Put your hand up and wave it at me, and I'm gonna pray with you right now. Keep your hand up. I see it. That's a lot. Awesome. Who else? Never too young, never too old. Tell you quit breathing, then it's too late. Now that you're alive, you're one prayer away from a total change. Everyone that lifted a hand, those of you with more boldness, you come first. Your boldness will help those that are a little more shy, but everyone that lifted a hand, come out of your seat and join them at the altar. Right now, you can come with friends, you can come with your spouse, you can come with whoever you came with, but come, don't stay in your seat, come. Keep clapping for them, welcome them. This is your day to get rid of sin, to tell the devil goodbye. Keep coming, keep clapping, welcome them to the family of God. This is your day. This is your day. Who else? Who else? I'm done with the devil. I'm done living the way the world tells me to live. I have decided as for me and my house, we're gonna serve the Lord. Anybody else? In Jesus' name. Nice. Lift your hand, lift your hands all across the front. Say this prayer after me. I'm only saying it because some people have never prayed. So don't recite it. You're talking to a real God, and as you're praying it, He'll change your life. Say this nice and loud. Heavenly Father, I've come forward tonight to give you my life. Forgive me of all my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart. You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth. Jesus is Lord and my Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness. By the blood of Jesus. I am saved. I am forgiven. I am clean. In Jesus' name. Devil, you and me are finished. In Jesus' name. I'm on the winning side. In Jesus' name. Amen.
