Go to Malachi chapter three. Malachi the third chapter. Malachi chapter three. Now, if you don't like tithing, you don't have to run out of the building because there's a second half to the chapter, and that's the part I'm gonna read. The Bible says in verse 16. Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to what they said. In his presence, a scroll of remembrance was kept to record the names of those who feared him and always thought about the honor of his name. They will be my people. Everybody say that's me. So God does not have everybody on equal footing that's on the earth. You know, if you go to some Baxlin church, they talk about uh we're all God's children. Jesus looked at a whole group of people and said, You're of your father, the devil. The Bible talks about how the Lord's angry with the wicked every day. Then there you have what's called sinners that are different than wicked. Somebody that human traffics children would be wicked. Somebody that makes their money off of oppressing people goes into a category in the Bible called wicked. Then you have sinners that God has a very vested interest in saving, but they're not in covenant with God, so they don't enjoy the same blessings that a child of God has. Then you have children of God. Everybody say that's me. And the Bible says, in this group on earth, there'll be a special group. These will be my people, says the Lord of hosts. On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I'll spare them as a father spares an obedient and dutiful child. Then you will again see the difference. Everybody say visible difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who serve him not. The Bible tells you that as we come to the end of time, did we also lose the scriptures on the upper monitor? All right. I feel like the Amish are sabotaging us. Um the Bible tells us that in the last period of time, there's going to be a major distinction between people that serve God and people that don't serve God, to the point that the Bible says you won't have to tell people that you serve the Lord. You will be able to see the difference between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. I'm not getting into it specifically tonight, but the Bible shows you in several different places the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. You have Fortune 500 companies selling jets and Christians buying jets to use for the work of the Lord. There's gonna be a divine reversal in 2026 where you're, you know, I think it's happened for so long, people think it's normal, and then if someone reverses it, they think they're unscriptural. They think it's nor that uh the Carolina Panthers should have their own plane, the Carolina Hurricane should have their own plane, anybody secular, Johnson and Johnson, Eli Lilly, any Fortune 500 company should be able to enjoy the best, and then Christians are to scrounge by. But the Bible says when Jesus comes back, he's not coming back for a weak and defeated church, he's coming back for the best church that's ever been on the face of the earth. He saves the best for last. You're alive for such a time as this. Jesus is coming back for a glorious church without spot or wrinkle, and I'm a part of that church. I want to I want to tell you this. Can you grab me a scripture course? You're not gonna be able to flash me now, but can you get where Jesus said in that day they'll be buying and selling, farming and building, people being married and given in marriage? There's guardrails in end time Bible prophecy. What I mean by that is people think when you get in the end times, the devil can just do whatever he wants. The devil's not the only one with an agenda in the last days. God has an agenda in the last days. So I had a uh a minister messaging me when I was driving from the airport in South Carolina over here to the church. Somebody published our financials for our ministry. And I think they meant it as an insult, but I retweeted it because I'm happy. They said Revival Today took in uh however many millions of dollars and operate operates at a plus 10, 10 million um profit in their ministry. Well, if I'm supposed to be sad about that, I'm not sad because I know what it's like to be poor and not have enough, and God brought me out. And then somebody commented underneath, you know, people that have a problem with prosperity or money, it's not that they don't understand the Bible, it's just that they have like a child's understanding of the economy. They don't understand. You're either gonna run it a surplus or you're gonna run it a deficit, and the Bible says, to he who uses well, this is a Bible law, to he who uses well what he's been given, he'll be he'll have that taken away from him and given to those that have less. No. To he who uses well what he's been given, he'll be given even and have well I mean, you did your best, and you pretty much got it. To he who uses well what he's been given, he'll be given even more and have an abundance. One servant was given five bags of gold, talents. One was given two bags of gold, one was given one bag of gold in proportion to their abilities. The one that was given five went out and quickly doubled it. Jesus didn't say, Shame on you. You think it's so important to multiply things, you should have given it away and lived in the dirt. No. The Bible says the master was full of praise. Well done, my good and faithful servant. So he gets ten. The other guy with two doubles it to four. Well done. The guy with one did what? Buried it in the ground, and Jesus said, You fool, you wicked, lazy, useless servant. One translation, why didn't you at least put it in the bank where I could have got some interest off of it? And he said, I was afraid that I would lose it. Fear paralyzes uh uh uh people's productivity. So God rewards multiplication. The first command that God gave men was not don't do drugs or don't get drunk or don't commit adultery. And I'm this is not pro-drug, pro-adultery, pro-drinking. But the first command God gave man was not negative, it was positive. Be fruitful and multiply. You know, that's what when you get in the Holy Ghost, that's how God's spirit works. At one point, this was just a building empty, and then somebody got it in their spirit. I believe if we work to make this a church, God will help us fill it with people, and people will get touched here. Dogs can't think like that, whales can't think like that, monkeys can't think like that. But people are created in the image of God, and when you let that God part of you, your spirit get turned on, you start to see better things than where you're at right now. Can you say amen? So God rewards productivity. Well, so you know, somebody wrote in the comments, what does he do with all that money? Well, all you gotta do is look. We have four churches. One time when we only had one church, we had a person like that come to our church. They said, I see you taking offerings every Sunday. What do you buy with that? I said, Do you see those? Those are called chairs. See those? Those are called lights. See, I talk like this to an adult. See this? He walked away after about the sixth thing. I'd have never seen him since. But you're what's called a moron. You're like you're six years old. You just think the chairs appeared, the parking lot appears, the church bus appears. Everything's free to morons. But to intelligent people, you understand that somebody has to get faith to pave the parking lot. Somebody has to have faith to put this building up, somebody has to have faith to put the chairs on, to make a space for God to move. Can you say amen? And then as you get in the flow with God, God rewards what uh uh uh uh God rewards your activity in line with his agenda. What's God's agenda in the last days? So this guy's rating me on the way here. He said, I've watched, I've watched your ministry grow from the time I've I started following you till right now. He said, What's the secret? Well, I didn't have time to talk to him, and it's not a secret. All I do is talk. I mean, we did questions and answers till 11 o'clock last night. I'm not looking to have any secrets. I want there to be an army of pastors and evangelists and young people that are called into the ministry that come out of this revival, that burn the devil's kingdom to the ground in Jesus' name. I believe I'm looking at the people that God's gonna anoint to shake their countries for God in the name of Jesus. If you're one of them, can you say amen? I can tell you what the secret is. The secret is instead of asking God to bless what you would like to do. Find in the Bible what God is looking to do and make yourself somebody that carries out God's dream for him. Second Peter chapter 3, verse 9. The Bible says the Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return, as some people think. No, he's being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so he's giving more time for people to repent and be saved. Ever say repent and be saved? And we know from Romans chapter 10, they can't just repent and be saved. That's why you never see a great blessing on churches that say stuff like, just uh pray for Venezuela, pray for Iran. Because God didn't say pray for all the world. He said, Go into all the world and preach the gospel. If you study war, no matter how great your air force is, there has to be boots on the ground at some point that accomplish the objective. America uh supposedly has gained full air uh superiority in Iran. They won't be able to keep it just at that. At some point, some men are gonna have to go on the ground. In fact, they already have. Did you know the reason they were able to kill every one of Iran's leaders is Mossad from Israel had infiltrated Iran 20 years ago as dentists and surgeons, and every leader from Iran that went to the dentist, they implanted tracking devices in their teeth. So when it came time to do war, they got every one of them. You have to have boots on the ground to get the job done. You can't just do the ministry by Twitter and television and radio. There has to be building of churches and roofing the building and discipling people and laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover. So if God is willing that none should perish, and the only reason, 2 Peter chapter 3, 9, look at that now. The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return, like some people think. No, he's being patient for whose sake? How many of you, if Jesus would have came back 10 years ago, you'd have gone to hell? Okay. Well, there's a bunch of people like you still out there that they're great people. Once you get them born again, they're gonna be pillars in the kingdom of God. But right now, they're in darkness. And the Bible says God doesn't want any of them to perish, so he's giving more time for everyone to repent. Well, if you know that that's God's will, that the only reason Christ hasn't come back yet. Because look at 2 Peter 3.8. Go to 3.7. 2 Peter 3.7. By the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They're being kept for the day of judgment when ungodly people will perish. But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends. A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return, like some people think. People think Jesus just wasted his time. He hasn't returned for only one reason. If you'll catch this, your life will be the easiest thing to navigate in the last days of anything. The only reason Christ hasn't called us up out of the earth to go to heaven and get the show on the road with the tribulation and the finality of end-time Bible prophecy is so for what reason? One reason. Okay, let's read it. The Lord isn't being really being slow about his promises, some people think. No, he's being patient for your sake. Why hasn't he come back? What's the next part? Why is it quiet? I feel like we we left the last church revival. Now I'm at an episcopal church starting from scratch. Did everyone have a goldfish die before church started? Does everyone need like chocolate or something to cheer up? Why hasn't Christ come back yet? He doesn't want anyone to perish, so he's giving more time for everyone to repent and be saved. Let me see 2 Peter 3, 14 and 15. 14 and 15. And so, dear friends, while you're waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight. And remember, the Lord is being patient so that people have time to be saved. Let me ask you a question. If the only reason Christ is waiting is so people have time to be saved, and then obviously, people, not everybody knows how people get saved because you hear people, they they just pray, Lord, help save people overseas. Lord, we ask you to be with the Muslim people overseas. That's not how it works. There's only one way people can get saved. Romans chapter 10, verse 8. Romans chapter 10, verse 8. And if you would grab um, grab the Texas crusade so I can show like an example of what I'm talking about from last year. The message is close at hand. It's on your lips and in your heart. That is the word nine. That is the word of faith that we preach. Verse 9. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, now check that. How can you know you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead? You will be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. As the scriptures say, anyone who believes in him will never be disappointed. 12. Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord who generously, uh who gives generously to all who call on him. 13. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. If it stopped right there, then all we'd have to do is say, Lord, help people to believe in you. Help people in Iran as this regime change is happening. Let people know you, let them find a way. But God won't bless that because that's not the way God gave for people to be saved. When people say, Lord, let people see angels. The Bible says it's not given unto angels to preach the gospel, it's entrusted to men to preach the gospel. Can you say amen? So how how? So if they have to call on the name of the Lord, what has to happen for them to call on the name of the Lord? 14. How can they call on him to save them unless they believe? And how can they believe if they've never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? As the scriptures, uh, and how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is what the scriptures mean when they say how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. Why do you have Bible colleges being closed down from major denominations and getting ready to get closed down even more? Why in a time where the fields are white under harvest, do you have the least young people pursuing a call uh into ministry? You know, most Christian parents don't want their kids going into ministry. If they send one, they send the dumb one. But they've got big plans for the one that gets straight A's to be a doctor or a lawyer or a contractor or something that can earn a lot of money. There has been a loss of understanding, and in a loss of understanding, a loss of value. To understand the mission of the church is not to be endlessly discipled for 40 years. You're to get saved, baptized in the Holy Ghost, and then figure out what is my part to play in sending the gospel into the whole world. Jesus said, if you'll seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all the other things that people are dying, trying to get, I'll add them unto you. I just flew here. I was at my daughter's birthday party at 5 30 p.m. in Pittsburgh and flew here on a Falcon 900 to get here for service. What job could I have done where at 45 years old I'd have my own three-engine jet? There isn't one. Jesus said, if you'll put the building of churches, evangelistic crusades, healing the sick, casting out devils, if you'll put my thing first, all the other things that you could be out trying to get, I will add them unto you. I see two things happening tonight. God is gonna put a fire in you to be a part of the Great Commission. And in being a part of the Great Commission, you're gonna experience the joy of delighting yourself in the Lord and Him giving you the desires of your heart. There's our South Carolina people back again. If you receive that today, give the Lord a mighty hand clap and a great shout. Somebody shout hallelujah. Let me see my scripture again. Romans 10, 14. How can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him if they've never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless somebody tells them? Somebody says somebody has to tell them. If you went to Ukraine and passed out food during the Russia-Ukraine problem, nobody had a problem. Water, nobody had a problem, clothes, shelter. But any Christian group that started passing out Bibles and telling them about Jesus, CNN did a whole story on it. Why are these Christian groups? The effort of the devil is to shut people up from preaching the gospel. But since we know the devil wants us to shut up, that's why God's putting a blessing on taking 14 nights in a row to preach the gospel and sow the word. There is an anointing and a power that comes behind anybody that says, I'm gonna, not only do I believe the Bible, I'm gonna get anointed of the Holy Ghost, and I'm gonna preach God's word to my generation in Jesus' name. How will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the scriptures say how beautiful are the feet of those that bring good news. 16. But not everyone welcomes the gospel. So remember this if you're a preacher, it's nothing new. We tried to preach and there were people that got upset. Yeah, whoopdy too. It's been happening for like 8,000 years. There's people that don't like it, but don't focus on who doesn't like it, focus on the people that are getting it. Don't focus on the stony soil, focus on the good soil. Can you say amen? Yeah. For not everyone welcomes the gospel. Isaiah the prophet said, Lord, who has believed our message? But faith comes from hearing, hearing the good news of Jesus Christ. Let me see, King James. For faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. When you preach the word of God under an anointing, there's a substance called faith that starts to come alive on the inside of people that have gone through cancer and abusive marriages and were abused as children. Something from the word gets in them and God begins to call to them. You can make it. I'll pull you out of the pit that you're in and put you on the rock to stay. So a preacher is called. I'm gonna tell you, you know, maybe I should change my title of my message because when that evangelist asked me that, what's the secret to your blessing? My secret is I'm a preacher and I preach. I don't preach Sunday and take six days off and go to Puff Daddy parties and the Grammys and different places. Preach the word of God. Be instant in season and out of season. Every day, the word of God goes forth out of this ministry. Even like now, look as that's happened. We're on TV right now. Do you know how? An executive from West Palm Beach that runs a news network. He said, I have I own another channel that I forgot about. You know you're you're rich. I've owned socks that I forgot about. I've never owned a TV channel I forgot about. He said, What do you think about making that a gospel channel that preaches the word? Now, almost every Christian network is in free fall right now. Do you know who's in charge of developing this network that we launched on January 5th? When I went down to meet with him, it was him as the CEO, and he made me a percentage owner. He said, I want to put you on live for four hours every night and two hours in the day, I've been watching you, and I feel like America needs this message. Then he introduced me. This is the man that took Sephora from a one makeup store to a nationwide makeup chain. He's gonna develop the app to get it out. See what happens if you get it in your heart to do what God wants done, the resources of heaven come open to back you and what you're doing. Most people get it reversed. They're trying to get God to back their dream and their vision board. And Lord, help me do this. I'll pray that tonight the Holy Ghost, even as I'm preaching. Will start to speak to you about where you belong, what he's anointed you to do. And as you get in the flow of the river, God will command all of heaven's resources to get the job done. If you believe it, go ahead. Take another 15 seconds. Clap your hands. Shout a little bit. Faith comes by doesn't come by praying, doesn't come by singing, doesn't come by fasting. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Let me see the Luke 17 that you put up. Here's another thing to understand about the last days that'll keep you from getting depressed. Luke 17, 26. Jesus, speaking of the last days, said, as it was in the days of Noah, so it'll be in the days of the Son of Man. They ate and drank, married wives, and were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all. Let me see in the NLT. In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up until the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all. Let me see the verse before. The world will be as it was in the days of Noah. 20 keep going? In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up until the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all. Keep going. And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business: eating and drinking. Everybody say food. So if you got this idea that before Jesus comes back, you're gonna be up in the woods with dehydrated milk and rations and a bomb shelter. You know, I'm all for my dad, my father, that's a preacher, has a side project that he does on YouTube where he likes survival. He has a survival YouTube channel. My dad can start a fire when it's minus 20 out. My dad can hunt with a bow and arrow that he personally makes the bow and arrow. He likes that stuff. But if you think, if you're one of those Christians that says, let me tell you something, when everything goes bad, I've got a bomb shelter and food and 1,100 guns. Let me ask you, how'd that work out for Khomeini? How'd that work out for Maduro? Maduro had a palace guard of 2,500 soldiers, and when they wanted to get him, they got him in 90 minutes, less than a movie. The Bible says, in that day, there'll be no escape. So one thing you need to settle tonight is God's will in the last days for you to hide in the forest till Jesus comes back? Or is God's will in the last days for us to get anointed with the Holy Ghost and power and bust the devil's head from now till the rapture? I'm telling you something. When that trumpet sounds, it's not gonna be us that says, Whoo, glad we made it. It's gonna be the devil that says, Whoo, I'm glad those people are gone. They were wrecking on my plans. This is not the hour of the devil, this is the hour of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, the world will be as it was. The Bible's telling you what the world's gonna be like before we leave the earth. People went about their daily business, eating and drinking. There's not gonna be a mass famine. That's in the tribulation. That happens after the church leaves the earth. Do you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture? You want to know one reason I do among many? Is because it says, as it was in the days of Lot and as it was in the days of Noah. Did Noah have to tread water for 40 days and 40 nights? Did one drop of rain fall before Moses before Noah was sealed in the boat? I'm asking you, why is everybody staring at me down like I'm the enemy? Did Noah, was Noah rained on before he got in the boat? Was his family sealed in the ark before the first drop of rain fell? Okay, what about Lot? Did he have to dodge fire and brimstone? Or did angels hurry him and his family out of the city and then the judgment came? Which is it? Which is it? We need to reinstitute Sunday school in Spartanburg County. Angels hurried his family out and then judgment came. Listen to me now. God never poured out his judgment anywhere in the Bible on a place where his children were. Can you say amen? If you were the most wicked drug cartel leader and you, some neighborhood ticked you off and said they weren't gonna pay you, and you said, you know what? I'm gonna kill everybody in that neighborhood. And your right-hand man told you, your daughter is dating one of the guys there and lives there. You want to say tough luck for her? Even an evil man would make sure his daughter was taken care of before he rained judgment down. And God is not evil, God is good. So think of this. When you hear people, because I don't know where everybody's from, but some of you in a crowd this size would come from churches where people get that mixed up. God's so angry with this world, with all the homosexuality and drugs, there's judgment coming. Not on me, there is it, and not on you, there is it. Because I read in Malachi 3, there's gonna be a difference. You will see the difference between those that serve God and those that serve Him not. Can you say amen? Now look at that scripture. People went about their daily business eating and drinking, buying and selling. What does buying and selling mean? Everybody say functional economy. Now, how many of you started watching me during COVID? What gave me the strength in March of 2020 when the stock market was having record losses one day after day after day, and people were predicting it was gonna go, the Dow was gonna go down to 6,000. I mean, it fell off a cliff. This is it, man. And you had Christians, we're in the tribulation. You know, it's over. People were selling dehydrated milk and water bottles and AK-47s. And I went on television and said, this is not the end. The Bible says before Christ comes back, there will be plagues, which means incurable sickness and disease. But you know what? Whatever the devil does has guardrails to it. There will never come a time before Christ comes back where there's a complete collapse of the economy worldwide. The Bible, do you see it? Because the Bible says in that day, people won't know the rapture's coming. They'll be buying and selling, farming and building, planning weddings and getting ready to get married, and then that that that like a thief in the night. We're gonna get caught up out of the earth. So any prediction, I was reading them today. You know, the economy is gonna, you know, 10:30 this morning, the stock market was through the floor, 1,200 points down, and it popped back up. You know why? Because it can't collapse. There will be a functional economy. Dr. Lester Summerall, that's in heaven now, he said there'll be plenty of oil. They would say plenty of oil. I mean, I'm only 45. I've lived through four different major predictions of oil going to$200 a barrel. During COVID, what'd they say? That it's gonna go to uh$7 a gallon for gas, no one's gonna be able to fly planes. You know, that's when we started getting aircraft because the wicked were in fear of getting rid of their stuff, but the man of faith never gets in fear. So when the world's selling, you're buying because your bottom will never drop out. Can you say amen? Man, I feel a breakthrough beginning here tonight. Everybody say my bottom can never drop out. See, I have a sure foundation. Yeah, that's right. Can I can I ask you a question? Which one of God's promises of protection, provision, health, which one stops working in the last days? None. So I don't care what Iran's planning, I don't care what anybody else in the Middle East is planning. In fact, I'm starting to get bold about it. One of one of the one of the Iran um the IRGC accounts on X said, we're going to activate every jihadist sleeper cell in America. I retweeted and wrote back, start at my house. That's not out of testosterone. I don't even know how to fight. I've got angels of the Lord that protect me wherever I go. You're not taking me out, but I am anointed to take out the powers of the devil. I want to tell you something right now. The last days for America, it's not gonna be America being overrun by Islam. It's gonna be a mighty burning move of the Holy Ghost from South Carolina to Maui, Hawaii, from Wasilla, Alaska to Laredo, Texas. I'm not on the losing side, I'm on the winning side. If you know you are too, can you shout a living amen? I don't know who you are, but I like you. Virginia sounded like it. Praise God. Everybody say buying and selling. So anytime somebody prophesies that I'm telling you right now, now let me tell you another thing while I'm getting wound up. Let me see 1 Corinthians 14, 1 to 5. Let me tell you something about prophecy. To know whether it's the Holy Ghost or not, because the Bible says to try prophecy, to judge prophecy. It's different than the Old Testament. Anytime you hear somebody in the New Covenant say, So you don't believe I'm a prophet? Even if you are, the Bible says that others that are filled with the Holy Ghost can judge what's said. Can you say amen? So here it is. Let love be your highest goal. But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives, especially the ability to prophesy, too. For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you'll be talking only to God, since people won't be able to understand you. You'll be speaking by the power of the Spirit. Keep that up there, but it'll all be mysterious. I'm not preaching on this tonight. But when you have other morons that tell you that in the in the book of Acts, when they spoke in tongues, it was so people could hear the gospel being preached, and that's how you know it's all false today because no one's hearing the gospel. That was the gift of tongues. This is telling you right here. What does it say? The Bible says when you speak in tongues, you'll be talking only to who? And not to who. I'm sorry that people that criticize Pentecost have like a third-grade reading education. It's right there. He that speaks in an unknown tongue that speaks mysteries unto man, but speaks directly to God. You'll be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it'll all be mysterious. Now it's going to tell you about prophecy, three. But one who prophesies, so if someone's claiming to prophesy, it needs to do at least one of these three things. It strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them. Can I see King James? You already knew. Edification, exhortation, and comfort. Let me see NLT again. Strengthens. So prophecy strengthens. Prophecy encourages, and prophecy brings comfort. Now, if someone says, I was praying today, brothers, and the Lord showed me some things that are going to happen this year that have really troubled me. I don't even know if I should share it because I don't know if people are ready. I know automatically you're not speaking by the Holy Ghost. Because you're speaking like a Scooby-Doo character. You're trying to put fear on people, and God doesn't have a bad future. God has a good now. Do you listen? Every person that's in this room, I can't tell you how your future is going to pan out. I can't tell you the specifics. But one thing I can tell you out of Jeremiah 29, 11, God knows the plan that He has for you. It's a plan for prosperity and not for disaster. A plan to give you a hope and a glorious future. God's not looking to take you down, God's looking to bring you up, God's not gonna starve you, God's gonna anoint your head with oil, give you an overflowing cup, and make you a blessing to your hurting world. Hallelujah. Somebody shout, I'm blessed. But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them. So I'll stop there. So anytime somebody has a word that brings fear, it's not God speaking. Show me one place in the Bible that an angel came to someone and said, I know you're very afraid, but if you knew everything we knew in heaven, you'd be a lot more afraid than you are right now. Is there anything like that in the Bible? Almost every time an angel appeared to someone, what were the first two words that came out of their mouth? Everything the devil's used to try to implant fear about the future in you today. Today, the word of God removes it. I came with a word from heaven. Fear not, the battle is not yours, the battle is the Lord's. Fear not, you're not doing it in your own strength, you're not doing it by might, you're not doing it by power, you're doing it by the Holy Spirit. Your victory is guaranteed. Get ready for the best ten months that you've ever had. If you believe it, shout I receive it. 2020. Uh, I knew the economy wasn't gonna bottom out. I knew a lot of what people were saying was anti-scriptural. I'm talking about charismatic people. You know, everybody got afraid. What's gonna happen? Well, I can't tell you the specifics of everything that's gonna happen, but I can tell you one thing that's not gonna happen. I'm not dying. Because the Bible says, with what kind of life will he satisfy me? And according to Psalms, what's the lowest part of that long life? Three score and ten or four score, seventy or eighty by reason of strength. Back then I was 40. I'm not dying. I'm going forward and not backward. Can you say amen? I'm not gonna preach less, I'm gonna preach more. Can you say amen? I came to tell everybody here that's battling something. Whatever's aligned against you for your defeat, it comes under a curse tonight. Because God brought you to this meeting, not to discourage you, but to encourage you. Today's the lowest you're ever gonna be. I said, today is the lowest you're ever gonna be. From this day forward, no more ups and downs, just ups and ups, the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. From glory to glory, victory to victory, and strength to strength. I'm preaching strength into the people of God. The devil picked a fight with the wrong group of people. He's not over your head, he's not eye to eye, the devil is under your feet. Go ahead, take 15 seconds and lift that hand clap up again. Hallelujah! Feel victory in here. The battle is now yours. Every person that's in a battle tonight, that battle's being transferred out of your hands and into the hands of God. And God is your victory, God is your righteousness, God's gonna take care of you and your family. If you believe in shall I receive it. Praise God. So we were in a church in June of 2020. I wasn't pastoring. And uh I just wanted to go to church. You know, I'm a Christian, it was Sunday. So one of the first churches that opened in Pittsburgh, we had been driving two hours to West Virginia to go to a church down there. It's the closest one to our house that was open. And anybody that kept their church open, I wanted to support it. And so uh we go to a church in Pittsburgh that just opened up. Big church, word of faith church. We sat up in the balcony. You think if you go to a word of faith church, they get criticized for being too positive, too much on prosperity. So I I I would rather have too much joy and victory. I've had enough defeat preached to me by the age of 11 to last me a lifetime. So I'm sitting up and the pastor gets up with a long face, sad looking. How do you say long face in Russian? Glena Litsoa. I think I turned French at the end, but you get the drift. He had a long face. He looked sad. Now I'm gonna tell you something from somebody that's been around Christianity for four decades now. Anytime you see somebody that's sad, something's wrong. I'm talking if they're a minister, because spending time in God's presence doesn't make you more like angry or or or like hard to be around. The Bible says in his presence is fullness of at his right hand pleasures forevermore, not pressures forevermore, pleasures forevermore. And so when you spend time with God, you should you should be Billy Graham was a happy man. He spent time with God, he wasn't angry, he didn't fill a stadium with sinners and tell them you're all going to hell. I don't know why you're all sitting up there smiling at me when there's a devil's hell. No. Bible says it's the goodness of God that draws men to repentance. Don't tell them how bad they are, tell them how good God is. Tell them about his forgiving power, tell them about his saving power, tell them about his righteousness power, tell them about his healing power. Can you say amen? So when people look sad, something's wrong. Something's wrong. So this guy gets up and he said, basically, the kind of stuff I'm saying to you. Um, I'm gonna share some things this morning that might trouble you, but uh the Lord has spoken to me when I was praying that by October of this year, October 2020, the whole of the United States will be on fire. Well, I immediately knew that guy hadn't traveled a whole lot. Because just Arizona, I think you'd run out of fire. New Mexico, it's a huge country. You know, you watch, if you watch the news, it'll turn you into a sorry person. You think the whole country is Minneapolis or Seattle. You know, preachers put stuff, all of America has the streets boiling over with hatred. What street do you live on? My street has two squirrels on it, looking for nuts in the snow. Can you say amen? No, I don't see what you see. When somebody writes something like that, I immediately know they don't live in Greenville, South Carolina. I know they don't live in Woodruff. There's no hate boiling over on the streets. There's nothing boiling over on the streets. Streets are closed at 6 p.m. No. Quit getting your eyes on what the devil's doing and get your eyes on what God's doing. Don't focus on the attack, focus on the victory. Can you say amen? Tessa, find another scripture for me and flash me on the screen when you have it. Uh uh, there's more with us than there are with them. That passage in 2 Kings. Everybody say, I'm focused on who's for me. I don't care who's against me. Let me see 1 John 5.4. 1 John 5.4. For uh King James. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory, not that makes heaven. You'll make heaven too. But God gave you victory in this world. I want the pastor and his wife from Romania to stand up. They flew all the way from Romania to be in these meetings. Pastor in there, can you say amen? I honor you. So glad you're here. God bless you. You can be seated. If they were the only two here, I'd preach exactly what I'm preaching. That if you can go back to Romania and whatever the Orthodox Church would do to stop you, Catholic Church would do to stop you, leftovers from the communist government would do to stop you. There is nobody that has the power to stop a child of God who's born of God, believes the word, and speaks the word. Can you say amen? I tell you a third time tonight, whatever you came in here facing, I'm not denying how real the enemies are. I'm telling you there's more on your side than there are against you, and you're going over in Jesus' name. Can you say amen? Somebody say I'm an overcomer. I'm going to be careful about how I say this because I don't want to give any impression we're we're out to hurt people. But one of the places I'm going to preach soon, there's been Antifa attacking Christians at that church, waiting outside and throwing rocks at them and stuff. So what do you think I'm going to do? Go pray? Oh Lord, don't let them hit the people. I contacted a tactical team today that does security. That way it's not on my insurance or the church's insurance, it's on their insurance. Plus, you're not just getting a bunch of people that like to fight and can get carried away. And so what they don't know is there's going to be people positioned outside that the second somebody lifts their hand up to throw a rock or a water balloon filled with urine, like they've been doing it to Christians. There's people waiting with what's called less lethal weapons, which means it usually won't kill you, but it'll drop you in your tracks. Because I've had enough of being, when I watched those Christians in Minneapolis just hoped all the demon-possessed people left. Since when do we do that in America? This whole country was started so that people have a right to worship. The Department of Justice is backing Christians. It's time to show the devil you jerk the chain of the wrong dog. We're not bowing, we're not doing less. We're not gonna see what you let us do. We're here to tell the devil this is our time, and we're gonna see America shake. With God's power. Hey, go ahead and clap your hands and shout. Hallelujah. Not just a tactical team, the number one rated tactical team in the United States. You know why? Because I have more money than Antifa. And you know another reason? I'm smarter than Antifa. You come with your rocks and signs, it's gonna be Israel and the Gaza Strip all over again. Be a cold day in hell. When I asked the is it safe to walk to our cars or are they still out there? This is America. People fought and died, so you didn't have to put up with that crap. And I'm not gonna lose all the freedoms we gained in one generation. I know everybody here is not from Russia, but many of you are from Russia. The reason you came over here, you couldn't practice your faith without people trying to clamp you down. Well, guess what? The devil doesn't live in Russia or Iran. There's one devil, and if you give him his way, he'll turn every nation into a churchless wasteland. But you know who's here to stop him? Not God, the church. Christ is the head, we're the body. We are here to push the devil down, to tell him you can't have South Carolina, you can't have the United States of America. We won't concede one county or one town to the forces of darkness. Can you say amen? Somebody shout wisdom. Yeah, lack of wisdom would be to just get 11 rednecks up there. Someone, you know, then there's gonna be a problem. Train people, they won't even know where they're getting hit from. We're gonna have a perimeter around the church, a camouflage individuals. It'll be a bad move, my friend. I'm done. I've been watching that on the news for three years. I can't speak for the other pastors. You try that in my meeting, there's gonna be a physical consequence to pay. Yeah, you're all quiet because you got your you got neutered in public school. But I didn't. I'm not gonna allow. People say, should they have armed guards at church? No, we should wait till the assailants run out of bullets and then call the police. You know what's interesting? Every Christian that has a problem with the use of force against agitators, anytime there's a problem at the church, what number do they call? Yeah. So so apparently you don't have a problem with it. You just feel like it should be outsourced. Yeah. So quit being dumb. Jesus said so. He said the children of this world are oftentimes smarter than the children of late. And then he gave us a command be as harmless as a dove, but wise as what? American church gets an A plus in the harmless as doves part. But there's also the wise as serpent's part that you get ahead of it. Now let me ask you a question. With all those people I'm bringing up, that there's A going to be people on the outside of the church, then people on the inside of the church, and then there's gonna be hidden people around the perimeter of the church. Don't you think anybody, even somebody with a pea-sized Antifa brain, would say, let's go find another church to cause trouble? Yeah. So you can get be wise and get ahead of what the devil's doing. I remember growing up in Pentecostal church. They were trying to shut down one of the Bible colleges in Maine, where I was living. Maine's the northernmost state, not counting Alaska. And um, you know what the pastor said? We have a court case, they're trying to strip our educational license. We want as many church people to come to the court and pray. That's a dumb strategy. You know what you should get instead? A lawyer, preferably a Jewish one that knows what he's doing, and represents you in court and remind that judge of the law of the separation of church and state. Can you say amen? There's too many times that Christians use prayer when there's other things that need done. When Moses went to pray, put Exodus 14 up. Exodus 14. Oh no, I like that scripture you have up. Put Matthew 10, 16, keep it up there. This is who who's talking here? Come on. Four people know. It's it's Matthew. Come on. Who's talking? Still not enough. Who's talking? Thank you. Don't make her answer for the whole crowd. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Don't go out there and get, you know, you see these street preachers get beat up. Why are you by yourself? If you're gonna go on the devil's territory, bring some people with you. You use some wisdom. Can you say amen? Yeah. You know, I was watching that show, Forensic Files. Girl got abducted out of a church in Minnesota. She left the children's church to go to the bathroom, and there was a guy that was a sex offender that was just roaming around in the hallway. Everybody knew he was a sex offender, but you know, Christians, just let him walk, assume the best. He took that girl, assaulted her, and killed her because people were dumb. You don't treat the church, a shepherd protects the sheep. Can you say amen? A shepherd doesn't just feed the sheep and lead the sheep to water, a shepherd protects the sheep. And the devil's gonna find something out in America. We are not Canada, we are not the UK, and we're not Europe. We haven't been taken down to a place where we feel bad about what we're doing. No, we're gonna arise in the power of God. We're not going to let all the progress that's been done in this nation get washed away in eight years. But instead, in the midst of this, God has sent a mighty revival. It's burning right now in South Carolina, it's gonna burning right now in Kentucky, it's burning right now in Washington, and the devil might not like it, but the devil can't stop it. Can you say amen? So let's go. Uh uh, so the guy says, the whole country's gonna be on fire, right? Lord, show me the whole nation will be on fire by October of 2020. So we finished the meeting. Me, Adolis, and Camila go out to the car. And Adala said to me, What do you think about that prophetic word that guy had? I said, He's wrong. She said, I felt that too. How, why do you feel he's wrong? I quoted her 1 Corinthians 14 3. Prophecy is for edification, exhortation. Everybody say building up. When somebody gives you a word from God, it builds you up. Doesn't knock you down. Edification, exhortation means it lights a fire under your britches to get going. You know, prophecy will cause when you've given up to say, no, wait a minute. I will not be defeated, I will not give up and quit. He that began a good work in me will bring it to completion. There's people that came tonight. You've taken so many body blows that you sort of think, what's the use? I've been doing my best, I've been serving the Lord all I know how, and it seems like nothing's getting better. I have a word from the Lord for you tonight. Tonight, God's gonna touch you, God's gonna light a fire on the inside of you. And the devil thought he had you knocked down for good with your wind out of you, but tonight a fresh wind comes from heaven to carry out what God's called you to do. It must say edification, exhortation, and comfort. Yeah, you know, I've had people tell me before, I think they've given up on me now. All the discouragers have kind of quit. Because I don't, once you stop caring, the devil just goes after other soft targets. But I've had people tell me, now, Jonathan, I know your ministry, this is back when we were taking in like three million a year. I know your ministry's taking in a lot of money, but you know, you need to be careful because there's seven good years and then seven lean years, like in Egypt. Was Pharaoh in covenant with God? No, he wasn't. He served other gods. The Bible doesn't teach for the believer seven good years and seven bad years. Let me see Job 36.11. What does it teach? This is for comfort. Job 36, 11. If they obey and serve God. Everybody say that's me. Yeah, what what night are you in church? Is it Sunday? What what day what day is today? Is it Easter? Is it uh Christmas Eve? Are we lighting candles in a little bit? Somebody will walk a donkey down the center aisle? Double kick some lady in the chest and send her to the hospital. What what day is today? It's a regular old Tuesday in the month of March. And you could be anywhere in the world. And you chose, in fact, there's some people would have told you seven years ago that there'll be a Tuesday night where you're in a revival meeting with some shouting, screaming Yankee. You'd have said, There's no chance, man. I don't even go to church on Sunday, but look what the Lord's done. In fact, many of you during COVID, what the devil meant to destroy the country, actually woke the country up. You had people start saying, Wait a minute, this sounds a little too book of revelation-y for my liking. And people started to dig into the word. You went when Charlie Kirk got shot. My cousin that had never been to church, his family was all here uh uh the the first Monday of the meetings. He he messaged my mother and me. I bought a Bible. I'm going to church this Sunday and giving my life to the Lord. And he brought three of his friends with him to get saved. What the devil means for evil backfires, and God finds a way to turn it for good. I prophesy again, everybody in this section, that the devil's hit you with a shot. The battle's not over. God's not only gonna get you through, God's gonna take what the devil meant for evil, flip it on his head, and you're coming out with a testimony in Jesus' name. Go ahead, take 30 seconds and clap and shout. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Clap your hands, oh ye people. Shout unto God with a voice of triumph. Say it out loud. I will not be defeated, I shall not give up and quit. I'm coming out of this thing with the victory, and the enemy has to pay back seven times everything he stole. Yeah, you're getting paid back. Divine retribution, divine recompense. You're coming out with the victory if they obey and serve God, everybody say that's me. They'll spend their days in what? And their years in what? Everybody say prosperity. Everybody say pleasure. You know, there's a scripture, Paul told the church in Thessalonica, don't scoff at prophecy. And people scoff at prophecy. There's a religious account that I follow on X. They wrote on my way in, making fun of preachers that prophesy there's gonna be a revival every year. And everybody's laughing in the comments. Oh, yeah, I've been hearing people prophesy that there's gonna be a revival since 1996. You know, I don't have time to waste arguing with fools, but uh I'd like to write them. Sorry you missed it. I'm in one right now. In fact, did you know the meeting I was in before this was in Marion, Kentucky? Pastor Tony was there, same exact thing happened. Packed down, and I couldn't come because I I had my board of directors meeting in that Las Vegas meeting. So instead of doing two weeks back to back like we're doing here, I'm coming back there, I think, in two weeks to pick up where the pastor said, please stay. Kentucky's blowing up, here's blowing up. Where I'm going in Spokane, Washington, God spoke to Pastor Russell. There was somebody that reached out to him. They said, We have a church in Spokane, Washington, one of the least church states in America. It's run down to about 12 people. You put a rainbow flag outside of your church and it empties the place out. People don't start coming in, people start leaving. And he said, They said, We've been watching you in Seattle. Would you take the church? The church seat's 300. They went on the first night, there was 550 people in a 300-seater standing along the walls. People are hungry. People are hungry in Washington State. There's people watching me on TV right now. You've been meaning to turn the channel for 40 minutes, but you're sitting here glued because deep down you're hungry. What the devil meant for evil, the devil meant for somebody's cancer in your family to turn you off to God, but instead, you got hungry for God. You're reaching out for God to come in and help you. God's not gonna disappoint you tonight. I said, God's not gonna disappoint you tonight. His presence is coming into that room to take care of you and your family. I was looking over my meetings for this month, and I'm excited. I'm not going back to some old place that I've been for seven years, and they just want to have like a week of special meetings or whatever. America is in revival. Can you say amen? Don't scoff at prophecies. You guys pull it up? Yeah, see? It's the whole verse. If you go to Christian school and they ever make you memorize a verse, that's a pretty easy one. Do not scoff at prophecies. All those guys say every year they tell you it's gonna be a good year. Supposedly they get a word from the Lord. You should let me tell you something. There are people that just pretend, like that guy saying the whole country's gonna be on fire. So Adol said, How do you know that's not a word from the Lord? I said, I won't say hearing that the whole country's gonna be on fire edifies me. Praise the Lord. I'm gonna burn to death. I wouldn't say it comforts me, and I won't say, what's the other thing? Exhorts. I mean, think about it. If the whole now, if you'll catch this, it'll make a lot of sense to why I'm preaching and sweating. Because prophecy exhorts, it makes you feel like doing more. If someone's telling me the economy's gonna collapse and I have to hold on to what I have, and you need to make sure you have a pantry with at least 30 days of food in it. No thanks. Maybe I will if I want to. I'm not doing it preparing for there to be no food. People are kind of dumb, you know. You hear Americans. What happened to this country? You hear Americans, you know, Walmart only has a one-day supply of food. That Walmart could shut down, there'd be no food. You ever hear a deer? You're gonna have to try to not hit 12 on your way home. There's food all over the place. What do you think? Meat grows on styrofoam in the grocery store. There's meat everywhere. You know those little uh those like watery puddles that are large in size that they call lakes? Do you know they got this stuff in it called fish? You can go get fish up. My wife shot an elk in New Mexico. I still don't think we've eaten all the meat. She got 300 pounds of meat. We had to buy a freezer to store all that meat. I'm gonna tell you something. I once was young and now I'm old. I've never seen the righteous forsaken, and I've never seen a seed begging for bread. God's gonna take care of you. God's gonna take care of your children, God's gonna take care of your house, your property is gonna be taken care of by a supernatural God. Can you say amen? So, if I if I thought the whole country's gonna be on fire, let me ask you a question and try to answer this time. I like response. If I um, I mean, can you imagine if the waitress said, What are you gonna have for dinner? and you just stared at her like you're staring at me, they're gonna call the police after a little while. I'm thinking of calling the police on some of you. You're acting shady. But God's gonna deliver you from shadiness tonight. So, let me ask you a question. If all of America was gonna be on fire by October 2020, and I believe that, how many evangelistic crusades am I gonna plan? None! We're not gonna have people burned to death in mass in a stadium. It's gonna, and it fear paralyzes you. If you believe the economy is gonna run out. And if you think some of you that are in this room and a lot of you that are watching on TV, you've been waiting for the economy to collapse since Jimmy Carter was in office. People blame the president. I had a Christian come up to me and go, man, it's hard to hard to make it with Biden in office. I said, I knew you when Reagan was in office, you were broke then too. You know, if you were broke under Reagan, broke under Bush, broke under Clinton, broke under second Bush, broke under Obama, broke under Trump, broke under Biden, and broke under Trump again. Maybe the eight presidents aren't the problem. Maybe it's your faith that's the problem. But you know what? If that's the problem, that's why you're in the right place. Because all it takes is one word from God to say, stop looking at the economy, stop looking at the stock market, stop looking at the war in Iran, and start making a plan of action with the Holy Ghost to do what God's called the church to do. So I told Adonis. I said, uh, none of those three things that prophecy does were accomplished by telling me the whole country's gonna be on fire. Now that that pastor resigned unexpectedly at the beginning of this year. Am I saying that like because I'm happy? No, I'm telling you, if you get around negative people, you're gonna retire at 58. Maybe you'll make it to 61 or 62. Because you can't go far in life listening to evil reports, unbelief, and bad news. But if you get around faith, if you're Joshua, don't hang out with the 10 spies, hang out with Caleb. Stop trying to get other unbelievable, not unbelievers that are going to hell. Stop trying to force your faith into systems of religion that have rejected faith. Every meeting I go to, Kentucky, it's happened here. You know, some of us have invited other pastors from certain churches, but they don't come. I'm glad they didn't come. We don't need them messing up the atmosphere if they're unbelief. We don't need eleven people sitting here like you want to be a 10-spy that says we can't go in and take the land, there's giants there that enjoy the company of the other spies. I didn't come from South Carolina to try to force Pharisees to become disciples. I came to find oil field workers and factory workers and farmers and young people and old people that put faith in them and say, God is gonna use you to overthrow the camp of the Philistines. If you're one of those people, let God hear your hand clap and shout one more time, hallelujah. I said, Hallelujah. Can you find the interview I did on the news last week? Just in case people think I'm mouthing off, just because I'm in church, I'm mouth off lots of places. So I said to Adolis, I know that's not true because it doesn't follow the rules of prophecy. And so we made plans. See, other ministers believe that God's judging America with COVID because of abortion. No, he's not. Jesus was the judge, Jesus received the full judgment for sin in his body. Put 2 Corinthians 5, 17 in the in the NLT, and I'll read through maybe 6-1. This means that if anyone belongs to Christ, they become a new person. The old life is gone, and a new life has begun. 18. And all this is a gift from God who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. After that, comma, read the next phrase. Now I'm gonna have you read it like you're not on oxygen or life support in the hospital. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. Okay? That's what the Bible says. No longer counting people's sins again, God's judging America. No, Jesus took all of mankind's sin in his body on the cross. The full judgment for sin was paid by Christ. Can you say amen? You say, well, why will anyone go to hell then? Because when you die, there's an expiration, you have to receive that that's been put in your account. Can you say amen? So if you let your life pass and you never receive that sacrifice that was done, then you will go to hell. But God is not looking to judge nations. Now, look, I'll tell you this: there's no question in my mind. You want to talk about prophecy? Look at um, this is October 2024, just so you don't think it's after the fact. Now, before they play it, I paid close to a million dollars to get AI technology that would translate all of my preaching into farsi. Farsi is only spoken in Iraq and Iran. So it doesn't make sense. If you're only going to pay for five languages, you should do Mandarin, English, Spanish, Portuguese, uh uh, French. Not farsi. It's spoken by very few people. Even you should do Arabic. Arabic spoken all around those places, but Iraq and Iran. Do you know one of the reasons why Islam's getting driven out of Iran right now? Iran was not a Muslim nation. The Iranian people were in a thing called Zoroasticism, if I pronounced it right. And the Muslims invaded in 700 and forced them to be Islamic. It's not their route to be Islamic. There were lots of Christians in Iran. There are still lots of Christians in Iran. So God isn't judging nations, but He is judging people that are keeping the gospel from being preached in nations. And in October of 2024, whether you like it or not, the Lord spoke to me about who was going to win the election, about why he was going to win the election. You don't have to approve of everything Donald Trump does to understand that God can use somebody that's going to be a strong arm to take people out of Venezuela and Iran that are keeping those people from hearing the gospel. And that's what's happened. So this is October of 2024, October 16th. Everybody say prophecy. God works through prophecy. He shows his people things that are to come. Roll it. And they've taken out all the Hezbollah elements. And now, as of today, there's an Iranian leader who's exiled to America who said he's going to go back and run for president. I want to ask you a question. I'm not better than anybody. But why do you hear that from me? And you don't, your average pastor about this whole thing, let's pray. Let's pray for what's going on. What's going on? Tell us what's going on. You just want to not take a side or have any opinion on anything. Do you know why I had an interest in that? Because I know God said before Christ returns, this gospel must be preached to all nations as a witness. And so I was thinking, Lord, Africa popped open. How come the Middle East hasn't popped open? And the Lord began to see if you get your mind in what's important to God, you can't get pulled by the Democrats. You can't get pulled by the Republicans. You're an ambassador for heaven looking to accomplish heaven's agenda. That's why I can't. How come these people, how come we can't get the gospel into these people? And the Lord spoke to me. They're, you know, showed me the articles. They're searching in record numbers by VPN. They want to find the gospel. Get your preaching translated into Farsi and get it. We we have a Farsi YouTube channel with Farsi follow-up material so that people get saved there. How many of you were here last night? Remember what I told you? Our two pilots are from Iran. And the guy's eyes were as big as dinner plates when he flew back to pick me up after last night. He said, You're never gonna believe this. I was in Turkey. We went out to dinner, and there were girls at the dinner with us. And then they said, What do you do for a living? I said, I fly a jet. They said, For an airline? He said, No, a private jet. Who? An athlete, a musician, a movie star? He said, No, it's a church. And she said, Can you show me on Instagram what church it is? So he said, I showed her you on Instagram, and her eyes got big, and she said, That's the guy that I've been listening to since winter when I gave my life to Jesus Christ. So God has a plan. I'm not waiting to see what Iran does. I'm not waiting to see what the U.S. government does. I got me a plane, I got me a Bible, I got me some cash from heaven, and we're gonna go and get the gospel into the ends of the earth. One day there's gonna be a revival today, church, in in Tehran. There's gonna be once in Oman, there's gonna be once in the United Arab Emirates. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, and this gospel must be preached to the edge of the earth. You used to not be able to preach in Russia, and then it collapsed. My dad was on a plane, I think the month after the wall came down when it collapsed, and and and uh Gorbachev went out and was replaced by Yeltsin. My dad went to Russia, it's not Russia anymore, it's Belarus, and went to Minsk in the soccer stadium, and it was pouring rain, and not one person left the stadium because they were gonna get to hear about the Bible. You know, Lester Someral preached in Russia under Stalin? He said, as soon as he'd get off the plane, there was a KJB agent assigned to him before World War II. They'd follow him to his hotel room, they'd be waiting outside the hotel when he went, and they followed him everywhere he went. And he said, Every KJB agent, KGB agent, that whole time I was there, before they left, they said, Can I have a Bible? And he said, I want to get my Bible, and they say, Please put it in a brown paper bag because they didn't want anybody to be able to see it. Russia popped open. And the Russian people, my dad said, every person received Jesus Christ that was in the stadium in the ring. Then they said they were gonna give Bibles out to the new believers, and when they were handing out the Bibles, one old Russian lady was yelling with a babushka. And they didn't know my dad's like, Man, is she demon-possessed? She's screaming, yelling real mad. And the Russian translator started crying. He said, No, she's not demon-possessed. She's saying, That's not a Bible. I saw the Bible when I was a little girl, my grandmother had one. They're much thicker than that. Because Christians are cheap. It wasn't, it was a New Testament Psalms and Proverbs. And she said, I she was yelling, I want a real Bible, I want a full Bible. You know, that's the secret to ministry. Stop trying to ramrod where they don't want you. Find the hungry people. If you get called to ministry, think about leaving your county, think about leaving your state. Let God imprint a place on the globe where there's people that are searching. Can you say amen? Russia came open in the 50s and 60s. Africa came open. And then the Lord spoke to me, just like Africa came open and the Soviet Union came open. The Middle East is gonna come open for evangelistic crusades and churches, just like happened in Africa in the 50s. And if you do what I tell you, you can be on the first wave in. So I'm preparing for it now by the spirit of prophecy. Because God knows the future better than we know the past. The difference between the Bible, a major difference among others, is every other book, the ratings of Buddha, the Quran, they contain no future element to their books because the devil is not all-knowing. The devil doesn't know what's gonna happen five minutes from now, except what he knows from the Bible. But Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. And if you spend time with him, he said, I will show you things that are to come. I prophesy in the name of Jesus. From tonight, you're gonna operate in divine wisdom in Jesus' name. Can you say amen? Say this out loud. I might look like everybody else, but I'm not like everybody else. I have a covenant with God. There's a state north of here called North Carolina. How many of you heard of North Carolina? Some people won't even lift their hands for that. Man, some of you are committed non-responders. Maybe I have, maybe I haven't. You're like Bill Clinton testifying before the Senate judiciary. My uncle Ted was doing a tent meeting in North Carolina, and uh, it was back when Willie Nelson was doing that farm aid thing. How many remember like 1994 when all the farms failed in the United States? So my uncle was preaching under his tent on the anointing, and they were anointing people with oil in the name of the Lord. And a farmer said, Can I have your bottle of anointing oil for my farm? And my uncle said, Sure, they were done with the service. And so my uncle came back about six months later, and the pastor said, Do you remember that farmer that asked you for your anointing oil? He said, Let me drive you to go look at his farm. So they're driving. And every farm there's nothing growing, everything's burnt out. And then they come to one where the fence posts, in inside of that fence post, everything is lush and growing, watermelons, all kinds of crops. And the pastor said, he took that oil and by faith, everybody say, by faith, he anointed each fence post on his property and said, Lord, out of Deuteronomy 28, you said you'd send rain on my land at the proper times. Well, how does God make it rain on one guy's farm and not the surrounding farms? It didn't. But every morning when he woke up, they said there was a thick dew on the ground that stopped at his fence line. And when everybody else was dying and their crops were going down, he said, Reverend, I had the best year on my farm that I've ever had. I'm not saying there's not problems in the world. What I'm saying is the anointing that God gave us as believers causes things to multiply when everybody else is experiencing loss. So don't listen to what the world's saying. Don't say what the world's saying. You look like everybody else, but you're not like everybody else. You're a child of the Most High God. If you receive that one more time, shout a living amen in this place. Go ahead and play that prophetic word from October 16th, 2024. So you know that if he's doing that, the CIA in Israel told him we got your back. So imagine that country comes open to the gospel and we've already been reaching it because I'm preaching now in Farsi, thanks to AI. So God has a plan. Everybody said God has a plan. You know that church that we're moving into in Pittsburgh? The city sued us, sued us again, made it their mission to take us out. And I was getting my hair cut with uh our barber who hadn't been saved that long. And so my uncle called me, the one I played for you last week, and so I took the call and speaker because Matt my barber he doesn't talk, he's been to prison, and he keeps his mouth shut. So my uncle just starts talking to me, and then he said, the Lord showed me in a vision three caskets draped in an American flag in front of the White House. He said, I took that to mean there's gonna be three presidents that leave the earth. And he said, the first one is gonna be Jimmy Carter. That was Saturday night before church. Sunday morning they announced Jimmy Carter died, and uh my barber texted me in all caps, I think it freaked him out because he's only been a Christian like 10 months. He wrote, Bro, your uncle don't miss. Because he was just sitting there, my uncle said he's gonna leave the earth, and he left the earth a few hours after he said it. Well, there is a second part. If you study prophecy in the Bible, a lot of times God would give a two-part prophecy, one that would get fulfilled right then, as a sign that the thing down the line would get fulfilled. So after he said the joke the um uh uh Jimmy Carter thing, he said, the Lord is gonna explode one of your four churches in 2025. Well, I automatically thought, I know it's not gonna be Pittsburgh because we're out of space. I said, which one of the four? I said, has the Lord shown you? He said, Yep, it's Pittsburgh. So I thought to myself, I don't know how that's gonna happen because we're already out of space. He said, and God's not gonna have you kill yourself preaching three or four meetings every Sunday morning to accommodate the growth. And you don't have time to build a building. He said, think of it, even if your mother was the city planner in Pittsburgh, it would still take a minimum of two and a half years to get that built and the roads put in. So my uncle said, What the Lord showed me is gonna happen. Now, this, if we're not careful, this kind of operation of the spirit has been almost lost to this generation. I almost never hear a pastor say that he pastors in a city because I was praying and the Lord showed me that place. It's all we sent out our resume, and three churches contacted us, and one vote, two of them voted in, and my my my my wife's mother lives near that church, and we'd be able to be close to her. If you take God's leading and guiding, the Lord is my the you need to know Christ as your shepherd. He has a plan for you every day. You know, my grandfather that's in heaven, that was in the ministry 62 years, he told me something that gets more powerful to me every week. He said, All you have to do as a minister is figure out from the Holy Ghost what God has to you to do that day. And he said, for a long time, it's gonna feel like God's running you on all these disconnected errands. But when it when you live longer, you're gonna find that it weaves a beautiful tapestry. In other words, that everything works together. I don't know when I came across Pastor Slavic that's here in the front row leading worship. At some point I was preaching and he got impacted. And that, as time went on, as he spread word and other people got interested, led to these meetings. I don't know what I did that impacted these uh how did you find out about me in Romania? YouTube. So obeying God. Don't when you're home, don't just sit home. Uh go go online and broadcast every day. There's people that want to hear the word, and they heard and they're here now. When you follow God's voice, he doesn't run you all over the place for no reason. He has a plan. Even things are gonna come out of this meeting that down the line should Jesus tarry. I realize, shoot, I thought I was just preaching at a church in Woodrow, South Carolina. But there were people in that meeting that got touched by the fire and took it back somewhere else. Get God's plan tonight. God is making his plan very clear for your life. You'll never go your own way again. I said, You'll never go your own way again. You'll hear a voice behind you saying, This is the way, walk ye therein. I see God making every crooked path straight. I see God removing every barrier that would keep you from going forward. You're gonna know from tonight, you're not living your own life. Jesus is your shepherd, and he's leading you in the way you should go. If you receive it again, give the Lord a mighty hand clad and a violent shout. So he said, You're not gonna have time to build it out. So very quickly, a warehouse is gonna open up close to where your church is now, and you'll be able to build it out. And he said, everybody say, Comfort. He didn't say, No, and you need to pray because it's gonna be, you know, in this economy, it's gonna be millions of dollars, and people aren't giving like they used to. No. He said it'll be the easiest thing you ever did. And when you turn the key, it'll you'll be debt-free. So that's why you've heard me say on Sundays, every time I talk about that church, when we turn the key, we'll be debt-free, because that's what the Lord said. And I believe it and speak. I'm not speaking. Now think about it. Think of how much different of an experience I could be having. If every Sunday when I got up, I said, How you know we're building a multi-million dollar church? We don't have the money, bank won't give it to us, city doesn't want us here. I don't know how it's gonna work. No. Then God could have that plan for me, but my own mouth would ruin the whole thing. How many of the 3.1 million Israelites did God want to go into the promised land? All of them. What kept all of them out, but two families? Their mouth. We are not able, for there's giants there, and we're like grasshoppers in their sight. You know, it ultimately it won't matter what God believes about you or what God's will for your life is, it'll matter what you believe from God and what you confess out of your mouth. That's why I'm preaching faith to you. That everybody said, I'm not gonna make it, not anymore. You're gonna shake yourself and say, The Lord is with me. The Lord is with me. Though there's giants in the land, I'm able to drive them out. For the Lord is with me, and the battle is not mine, it's the Lord's. Can you say amen? Well, right after he did that, that was December 30th or something. We get I get notified in February after 21 days of prayer and fasting. There's a builder in Pittsburgh that acquired a warehouse. He goes to another church. He's a Pentecostal. He saw them running you down on the news, and he wants to build that out to be a church for you. Well, that sounds, I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stichious. That seemed on the on the mark. So we took a look at it. That's the only time I've been in that building. And then I knew from other preachers. They said, we're not gonna have problems getting the permits, so you can just sign for it, we'll get to work. I said, it's not a problem until it is a problem. I said, you gotta remember this is not uh an indoor baseball range or driving range. This is a church, and sometimes people have strong feelings about churches. I said, so since it's not gonna be a problem, you secure the permits, and then once you secure the permits, I'll sign the lease. And you know what? It was like a month later. The guy said, Man, you were right, Reverend. For some reason, all of a sudden, they quit being friendly. They wanted to know what church it was and is it that church? And then God helped us. Everybody said, The Lord is my helper. Yeah, they called God in the Bible Ebenezer, which in their language is the Lord's my helper. Everybody said the Lord's my helper. God's not looking to knock you down, He's looking to help you. He's your very present help in time of trouble. Can you say amen? How many can tell God's helping you right now? So he said, Man, I'll tell you, I've never felt so good in all my life. Because as I'm sharing this story, I'm in the middle of a miracle. That church is getting done. We're gonna be in it. They just told me it's been nothing but good news, the exact opposite of how it's been with those other people in the other part of the city. They want us there. They said, We're gonna give you a permit. In fact, the Lord even gave me wisdom. He said, make the opening day, Resurrection Sunday, Easter. Because even sinners have respect for Easter. And he said, even if they're gonna give you a hard time, when you say that you want to open on Easter, they're gonna let you have, and that's exactly what happened. They didn't just say we can use the phase one part, they said they're gonna give us a one-day occupancy to use uh April 5th, 2026 for the whole church. We have no parking spaces in our building right now. People have to take shuttles. It costs me 50,000 a month just for the shuttles. This new place has 900 parking spaces. We won't need the shuttles. The building is 30,000 a month, 0% interest. I'm actually gonna save$20,000 a month, moving into one of the 10 largest full gospel churches on the East Coast in the United States, the Mid-Atlantic up through Maine, because God has a plan. Man might be trying to run you out of town, the devil might be trying to kill you, but God's got a plan in the last days. Doesn't matter what's happening in Iran, doesn't matter what's happening in Iraq, doesn't matter what China's planning or Russia's planning or tariffs. Nobody has a plan that can subvert God's promises over your life. Job 36, 11. Those that know and fear me, they'll spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure. I prophesy in the name of Jesus, you'll never know a better last year. God's going to increase you and multiply you. And when he's done doing that, he's gonna increase and multiply you again because you're not living your own life, you're making yourself a vessel to get the gospel out, to build churches, and win the lost. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. So, I'll tell you more than I've told other people, and then I'll leave you alone for 20 hours. So we're getting close to the the dedication date. And um we're down, you know, in certain world where the big bills are kicking in. Did you know that same builder came to us? I mean, major favor. First of all, he built it for$70 a square foot. It should be$250 a square foot. He made people take a loss that painted the building. He made the carpenters take a loss. He said, if you want to keep building homes for me, then this church you need to do half price of whatever you normally do. I never asked for that. He did that. Then without us asking, he said, I'm gonna front all the money for the building, and then you just pay it back when you want, zero percent. That way he said we don't have to stop working. Well, we had the money, but that takes the pressure off. We don't have to like, you know, we we're not just building the church. Jonathan's ministry has$10 million, what do they spend it on? I can tell you a couple things. We feed 5,000 children every morning. We are the largest giver to that feeding ministry, and 97 cents on every dollar goes to actual food to the people because it stays in the hands of the churches. It's less just somewhere else ministry. I can tell you some other things that we do. We pay widows' homes off, we pay people's medical bills off, not give them a little help, just alleviate their debt. We give out food. And we gave out, I mean, what do you do? Why don't you Google my name and look what we do? We gave away toys to 10,300 people in Houston, Texas, and then did it again in Santa Ana, California with the leftover toys. We build churches, four of them now. That are all two of them. Uh uh one's gonna be a 3,000 cedar and the other one's a 2,000 cedar. And those are our churches. I mean, how could you watch? What an ignorant question. What is it, 1885? What does Jonathan do with the money? Like I rolled through your town on a stagecoach and you have to wonder? Look up my YouTube. I'm on every night live preaching and doing what God's called me to do. It's that stupid devil that wants you to think you should have less because you're a Christian, and people like Epstein and the NFL and every wicked group have billions of dollars. But I read in my Bible the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just, and that God stripped the Egyptians of their silver and their gold and gave it to his people. The world's trying to get you in fear. But I came to tell you on this Tuesday, get ready. The windows of heaven are open over your life. God's pouring it out here. I hear the sound of the armies of the Lord. I hear refreshing in here. While you're clapping, say this thank you, Father, for the spirit of faith. I was talking to my new friend from Russia that's sitting over here, older gentleman, did well with his work. He said, I acquired this property and I wanted it to be a church. See, when you have money, you can acquire property and want it to be a church. Then make it easy on the pastor. That's what that young builder in Pittsburgh did. If he's watching, thank you. I don't take it for granted. See, God doesn't want there to be like four people in the body of Christ that are in a position to do that. He wants everybody. He wants everybody to be kings and priests in this new covenant. Everything that's keeping you from being a king or a priest, it comes under a divine curse today. God is raising you up. You're gonna be a blessing to your generation. In Jesus' mighty name. Can you say amen? Let me see 2 Kings and we'll close with that. This has been my favorite night of the whole week. 2 Kings with the um, there's more force than there. Oh, there it is. Go back to where the story starts. NLT. Verse 8, maybe. 11. The king of Aram became very upset over this. When the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he would confer with his officers and say, we will mobilize our forces at such and such a place. I'm just gonna announce this for no good reason. My goal is to be the first Western ministry to do a public stadium evangelistic crusade in Iran as soon as it's able to be done. I mean the second it's able to be done. Do you know one of the things about having your own jet? I don't have to wait till American Airlines flies there, or Lufanza, or air uh Emirates. I can fly there as soon as they clear the landing space to go. And that Falcon 900 can get me there. I gotta stop on the way in a couple islands in the ocean when I can get there. We're gonna do some things together before we go to heaven. We're gonna make the devil sorry he didn't kill us when he had the chance. The devil, you're gonna realize why the devil, why your mom told you when she was carrying you, she almost lost you. Or you were born premature, you were sick after you were born and almost died, was in the hospital 15 days. You're gonna realize the devil wasn't wasting his time. He knew that little seed that was in your mom was gonna grow up to become a mighty force for God and frustrate all of his plans. I don't feel like there's like three people like that here tonight. I feel like I'm in a room full of men and women that the devil did everything in his power to kill your family and end you. Some of you in the Soviet Union, they tried to kill God, he preserved you. He didn't preserve you for the fun of it, he preserved you for such a time as this. And this meeting is to get anointed with the Holy Ghost and make the devil pay for touching the anointed of God. Can you say amen? Elisha, the man of God, would warn the king of Israel, don't go near that place, for the Arameans are planning to mobilize their troops there. Ten. So the king of Israel would send word. Think of that. That's what's happening now. I'm not gonna hear that Antifa came to one of my meetings. We what are we gonna do? They're gonna find out. I've never done that in 23 years. Got quickened yesterday. Set up a perimeter at that church. Put people on the bushes and the trees. Sounds Old Testament. When thou hear the rustling of the mulberry trees, the Antifaites shall be handed into your possession. So the king of Israel would send word to the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again, Elisha warned the king so that he would be on alert there. Everybody say, I have inside information. That's why you should pray in the Holy Ghost. When you pray in the Spirit, God will quicken things in your mind. Then let me tell you this: don't make the mistake so many Christians make. You know, you know how many times I've heard like um a guy that worked in a youth group, had an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old, and it knocked the church down to nothing. And the pastor said, You know, when they hired that guy, I knew I knew something was wrong. Okay. Knowing is step one, doing something about it, step two. I'm not gonna, after we finish that meeting, say, you know, when Antifa hit a bunch of our women with rocks in the head, I knew that was gonna happen. When the Lord tips you off, everybody says, Do something about it. The king of Aaron became very upset over this. He called his officers together and demanded, which of you is the traitor? Who has been informing the king of Israel of my plans? 12. It's not us, my lord the king, one of the officers replied. Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel, even the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom. That's called the operation of the word of knowledge. Go and find out. Remember when Gehaziah took what he wasn't supposed to take? And Elisha said, Where have you been? He said, Oh, nowhere. He said, Didn't thy spirit not follow you out when you went and asked for that stuff? See, these gifts put a fear of God back in the church. Can you say amen? Go and find out where he is, the king commanded, so I can send troops to seize him. And the report came. I didn't finish. And the report came back, Elisha's at Dothan, 14. So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city. When the servant of the man of God got up earlier the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. Oh, sir, what will we do now? The young man cried to Elisha. I want to give you a secret to walking in faith. Second Corinthians 5. We walk by and not by. Yeah, so when you say that, what's the opposite of faith? People say fear, and that's true. But another opposite of faith is sight. Going by what you see. We don't have enough. You know, we've paid out close to three million dollars on that church, and I've never felt it. In fact, when we started paying on that church that we've built out, that's gonna be a 3,000-seater, we had 700,000 in the bank. And I got the report today, we have 2.1 million in the bank with everything paid up till this point. Because God will increase you as you increase. Can you say amen? Every big step the Lord's speaking to you to take, and you say, I don't have the ability to do that. God's not asking you to do it in your ability, He's asking you to do it in His ability. God never speaks based on your capacity, He speaks on His based on His capacity. He's just looking for a woman that'll believe Him and say, Lord, here I am, send me. A man that'll believe His Word and speak His Word, and you'll have what the Word says. Can you say amen? So go back to my the scripture again. Don't be afraid, Elisha told him. Elisha didn't say, see, this is where people get messed up with the faith message. They think faith is denying reality. You know? Elisha didn't say, No, there's not any troops. He said, Don't worry about that. I know there's a lawsuit, I know they found a growth in your body. I'm not denying that. But Lord, open his eyes and let him see what I see. 17. Then Elisha prayed, oh Lord, open his eyes and let him see. I want everybody to close your eyes and lift your hands. And I want you from your spirit to pray that prayer. And I'm gonna pray it too. Say, Lord, open my eyes and let me see like you see. Now lift your other hand up next to him, begin to thank God. If you're filled with the spirit, begin to thank him in the spirit. If you're not yet filled with the spirit, just thank him in English or whatever language you speak. Thank you, Lord, for opening my eyes to not see the things just in the carnal realm, but to see by the spirit in Jesus' name. Come on, pray a little bit. You sound good? Pindiara bo reshto indiana ondo rekatya. Open our eyes today. That we can see like you see, see possibility, see the parting of the Red Sea, see your plan. In Jesus' name, everybody said, Oh Lord, open his eyes and let him see. The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. So it wasn't denying that the devil had people, it was opening your eyes to what's on your side. That's why you never see me get invited to deliverance conferences. They're focused on demons. I'm focused on what's on my side. And when you get hyper-focused on angels and the word and the Holy Ghost, you start to have a divine disrespect for demon spirits. I don't care how powerful you say you are, I don't care what your name is, I don't care how many of you there are. You're under my feet, and the greater one lives on the inside of me. I pray God opens your eyes right now and sees that though there is an attack, the greater one's with you, not against you, and he's taking you over to the other side. Oh Lord, open his eyes and let him see. The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. This is an interesting verse, 18. As the Aramean army advanced toward him, Elisha. Okay, wait, go back to King James on 16 and 17. Something got skipped. There it is. Fear not, for they that are with us are more than they that are with them. Keep that up. Fear not, for they that are with us are more than they that are with them. He didn't say fear not, for they that are with us are more than them. They that are with us are more than those that are with them. So when his eyes were open to the spirit world, he saw demon hordes that were behind that army, given empowering them to take them out. Bishop David Oyadepo went on a three-day fast for his church to grow, couldn't get it past 200 people. And he said, on the third day of the fast, he looked at the church and there was a black, thick, inky cloud over the church. And he said, What is that, Lord? And the Lord said, That's the the um the uh misinformation campaign of the enemy to disguise what's going on at this church and lie about it. Now speak to it and command it to go, and he did. And the next Sunday, the church was double. People said, I just noticed the church when I was driving by and wanted to know what's going in there. The battles we fight, people try to fight battles in the natural realm, but they're spiritual in nature, and you can cut them out at the spiritual root. This Tuesday night, we're laying a Holy Ghost axe to the spiritual root of every attack of the enemy to obfuscate what God's doing. Can you say amen? Fear not, for they that are with us are more than that. So when he opens, at first he sees from the natural. Oh my god, the whole army's here. It's just me and you, we're in trouble. And Elisha doesn't even pray. Lord, let him see what I see. See, when you operate in the Holy Ghost, it'll keep you calm. Because you're aware that you're not doing your own thing. God is fighting your battles. Let him see what I see. And when he opened, he could see demons in the back of those troops. Why were they so obsessed with killing a prophet? He's not doing anything to them, but it was backed by the devil. Why are people just mad at you? As long as I'm on this permit board, you'll you'll never get a permit to get another bit business. Okay, take it easy, Lucifer. What you're saying is not even legal. He opened his eyes and saw the demons that were back in the enemies. But then he looked, and surrounding him and Elisha were horses and chariots of fire and angels. And he went in one second from being discouraged and ready to lose to speaking faith. Look, those that are with us are more than those that are with them. For all the people that focus on demons, one-third of the angels got kicked out of heaven. They're called demons, but two-thirds stayed. And there's more with us than there are with them. Antifa's real, cancer's real, all these wars and rumors of war are real, but they can't curse what God has blessed. You are blessed. I'm not preaching to nobody, I'm preaching to people that are blessed by the most high God. I tell you, final time tonight, get ready for the best year that you've ever had. The things that are lighting against you come under a curse tonight. They're going down, and Jesus is lifting you up. Take 30 seconds to clap your hands a little bit. Worship a little bit. Come on, make a joyful noise over the earth. Somebody shout hallelujah. Say it out loud: the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. This is not hype, this is a fact. There's nothing the devil has planned against you that can stay five seconds in the blood plot, fire-filled child of the most high God. You the devil wants you to think you're fighting your own battle, but you're not. The battle is not yours, it's the Lord's. And tonight, on this Tuesday night, that battle is transferred out of your hands and into the hands of God. He is not ever indefeatable, he's gonna take care of you and win every victory. In Jesus' name. If you believe it, shout amen like thunder. What do you need God to do for you tonight? If you're watching on TV or YouTube, text prayer to 75767, and we're gonna pray. Let me pray for my friend from Virginia. Step out to the altar if you would. In Jesus' name. Right there is good. Lift both hands. Total healing for your body, total change of levels for your financial situation in Jesus' name. Whatever you came here to receive, receive it. In Jesus' name. Yes. Hallelujah. If you came here tonight, I want to give an altar call. If you're here, and I read 2 Peter 3:9, and if you were honest, you say, Jonathan, there's literally nothing I can point to in my life that's connected to the Great Commission. Jesus is waiting so that people have time to be saved. I don't preach, I don't win souls, and I give next to nothing. T.L. Osborne said every Christian has a responsibility to preach the gospel full time or to send someone as a substitute. How can they go unless they're sent? So if you run a business and you don't win anyone to the Lord, but you're taking money from that business and building churches and taking the gifts God's given you to extract wealth out of the kingdom of darkness and build the kingdom of light. The Bible equates what you're doing the same as the one that preaches, because you're sending it out. But there's a lot of people in America because they haven't been taught. They don't do either of those things. Still arguing about the tithe. You're arguing about 10%? I feel like we should give as we're led. Funny how those people always feel led to give less than 10%. You're just cheap. Because when your life is wrapped up in the Great Commission, you see yourself as a vessel to get the money out to the things of God to give your life. I'll give you an example. I've had this happen twice in Texas. I feel called the Bible College. I see you have a Bible school in Pittsburgh. Have you ever thought of opening one up in Texas? Why? So you don't have to get on a two-hour flight? American Airlines,$300 flight? From Texas, just save yourself the trouble and don't start in the ministry. You're gonna have to leave your county if you're gonna go into all the world. You're gonna have to do something. The disciples said, we have left everything to follow you. And there's people when I preach like this, they think they're off the hook because they're a preacher. No, I am giving everything to them. No, you're not. Be honest, are you? Are you giving everything? Or are you doing whatever's babysitting a couple Christians on Sunday and waiting until next Sunday and doing a Bible study midweek? That's not it. Where was Pastor Alex last week? Is Pastor Alex alive? Okay, as long as he's alive. I don't make sure he wasn't taken out. I want to make sure I didn't run my mouth about Antifa so much they targeted you instead of me. Where were you the week before these meetings started, or two weeks before? Ghana. What does preaching in Ghana, how is that in any way gonna help grow a church in South Carolina? That's what backslidd in church boards would ask. Why are you going down there? God call you to pastor here. Because God also called everybody that's a preacher to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Let me ask you a question. Do you think there's no connection to the fact that he left everything to go to the bush in West Africa and preach to people that in no way can benefit him? And when he came back, God filled his church with people. When you seek the establishment of God's kingdom, God will always take care of your assignment. I was gonna have you bow your head and close your eyes, but I'm not. I want to ask you this. I'm not, I don't mean this condemning, because there's lots of great people here that have given up much. But if you're here and you're young, middle-aged, you say, you know, the truth is, I've never been challenged like this. I've never, I didn't know the point of Christianity was I was supposed to use what I do to build the kingdom of God. But it's resonated in my spirit tonight. And I want to make a commitment at this altar that my life, not 10% of my income, my life belongs to you. Everything I have is yours. I want you to use me to see the devil thrown out of the United States and the greatest churches and biggest evangelistic campaigns that have ever been held in the history of this nation. I don't want to watch them happen. I want to be a part, boots on the ground, and making it happen. And I make a decision tonight, a vow at the altar. I will do what you tell me to do, I'll say what you tell me to say, I'll go where you tell me to go, I'll give what you tell me to give. My life is not my own, I'm yours. If you're here and you've never responded that way, or you once did, and the busyness of life turns you into, you know, a normal American Christian. Where instead of building churches, you're trying to go to church when you can. You imagine being a Christian and the pastor has to call you and ask, if everything's alright, haven't seen you at church. Yeah, I've just sat, been sad. If you don't go build it, you turn into a bum that other people have to care for. But I'm not talking to those people tonight. I'm talking to a room full of champions that something woke up on the inside of you. I'm not waiting to see what happens in the world. I'm gonna be somebody that makes something happen in the world. Can you say amen? If you're here and you say, Jonathan, I need to do that. I want tonight, March 3rd, 2026. That was the night I gave my everything to God. If that's you, I want you to come out of your seat and join me at the altar right now. We're gonna pray in Jesus' name. Everybody that needs to make that commitment. I'm gonna give you about 20 seconds. Go ahead and clap for them as they come. I've been holding back, but tonight I give everything to you. Twenty more seconds. Keep coming. I need to give God everything. All across the front, lift both hands to the Lord. I'm gonna lead you in a prayer that's a prayer of consecration. Very powerful prayer. Say this out loud. Heavenly Father, I give you my life. Everything I am is now yours. Everything I have, I make available to you. The gifts you've given me, the talents you've given me, the property and possessions you've given me. I put them back into your hand. I will do what you tell me to do. I'll say what you tell me to say. I'll Go where you tell me to go. Speak to me. Show me your plan. I'll do what you say. Holding nothing back. In Jesus' name. Amen. Now keep your hands lifted, let me bless you. As you've laid yourself on the altar, the Lord receives this sacrifice. Anytime something was laid on the altar, it was consumed with fire. We don't burn you like an animal sacrifice, but the fire of the Spirit comes upon every person that's come to the altar. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. Everywhere you are weak, the strength of God comes alive on the inside of you. In Jesus' name. No more up and down Christianity. No more one good month, two bad months. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' mighty name. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for new doors coming open. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Now, all over in your seats, those of you at the altar, those of you in your seats, just lift your hands and begin to thank God that a fresh anointing is coming upon your life right now. In Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. You won't wander around. You won't wonder where to go or where to live, what your purpose is. From today, you'll know exactly what it is that God's called you to do. And today you receive power to do it. Let me see this young man in the red hooded sweatshirt. Let me pray for you. Come out if you would. In Jesus' name. Lift both hands, close both eyes. As you do, the power of God comes upon you. Today the Lord opens his good plan up for you. There's a separation that comes. There'll be those who used to enjoy their company that it'll be like an effort to stay with them because you're breaking away from the pack. And God's calling you up higher. In Jesus' name. Thank you for using him mightily. In the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord. Let me pray for this guy in the off-weight hoodie. Lift both hands, close both eyes. As you do, the power of God comes upon you. In Jesus' name. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for new doors coming open. In Jesus' name. Go ahead and sing that, Sister Clarita. Every hand lifted. As the power of God sweeps through this place and God calls people to a divine and eternal purpose. Go ahead. Thank you, Jesus.

I see a friend.

SPEAKER_00 1:53:05

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Let me pray for this couple. Take two steps forward. Lift both hands, close both eyes. As you do the power of God comes upon you. In Jesus. Let me pray for the woman. Nothing or no one. Both of you lift your hands to the Lord as you do the power of God comes upon you. Oh, it's a big name. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. You can stay seated. Thank you for a healing wave coming into your body. In Jesus' name. Thank you, Jesus. Go ahead and sing it, Sister Clarita. You don't bother me. You sing full blessed.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:53

Thank you. Thank you. Sing it all the time.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:04

I see revival. I see revival. I see revival. Flowing across this line.

unknown 1:54:27

For it is a mighty revival from the Lord.

SPEAKER_00 1:54:33

Now keep your right hand lifted to the Lord. Put your left hand on any afflicted part of your body that you want a healing from God. And I'm going to pray. And God's going to touch you right now. Everyone say, God's touching me right now. That was the least convincing thing I've ever heard in my life. Say, God is touching me right now. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for your power flowing underneath every hand, every afflicted area in a body. I thank you for your healing. I thank you for your virtue flowing into them right now. Thank you that the same powerful blood that cleansed us of all sin and all unrighteousness, that blood, when it was shed when you were whipped on your back, it took our sicknesses and removed our diseases. We receive that now in Jesus' name. Then I lose a miracle working power from heaven to recreate what doesn't exist. New knee cartilage, new new whatever, new heart. Hearts that have been damaged by heart attack and are just mostly scar tissue now. I lose a regenerating power from heaven to make you well in Jesus' name. Be healed now. In the name of Jesus.
