Tonight I'm doing part two, prophetic insight of I on Iran, America, and God's agenda in 2026. Matthew 24, if you have your Bible. Matthew 24, verse 3. Matthew, the 24th chapter in the third verse. Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, Tell us when will all these things happen? And what sign will signal your return and the end of the world? Jesus told them, Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in my name claiming I'm the Messiah. And they'll deceive many. And you'll hear of wars and rumors of wars. That's why, you know, even when you hear people say, uh, we need to pray for peace. I mean, you can pray all you want for peace. There's not going to be peace until the Prince of Peace comes back. In fact, the only peace there's going to be up until Christ returns is a false peace. One of the ways the Antichrist is going to rise to power is he's going to be able to take these conflicts that are in the world and get everybody to sit down and pen a seven-year peace treaty and the world's going to celebrate them, but it's going to be a false peace. Can you say amen? I mean, if if if God's say it say something with me. Say you cannot pray against a prophetic agenda. You can pray against the return of Christ on the Mount of Olives all you want. He's going to He's going to fulfill, you can't pray against the Bible. And so the Bible says there will be wars and rumors of wars in that day. So you can't pray them away, you navigate through them by the direction of the Holy Ghost. Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in my name saying I'm the Messiah. They'll deceive many. And you'll hear of wars and rumors of wars, but don't panic. Everybody said, Don't panic. Anyone that has a take on end-time Bible prophecy that would cause you to panic, and we talked about that last night. You need to store up food, have plenty of ammunition. You know, when you talk to people about why they tell you to store up ammunition, it's because they say other people are gonna run out of food. So that's God's plan for me in the last days is to blow my neighbors away that run out of food. Is that what Jesus did? He had five loaves and two fishes and two AK-47s. And anyone that tried to get his loaves and fish, he blew them away. No. Everybody say, I refuse to panic. Anybody that has a word, supposedly from God, that would induce panic or fear, they're not speaking by the Holy Ghost. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world, but all of this is only the first of birth pains with many more to come. Again, my wife, uh my daughter had her 13th birthday. What was that, yesterday? I remember clearly when I woke up and uh Sunday morning, you know, my my dollars was close to due, and my pastor at the time said, I'm taking a trip to Florida. Would you mind preaching my church the Sunday I'm gone? He said, I know Adoles is almost due, but so I don't, if you if you don't feel comfortable risking it, it's fine. I said, Well, what's the chances that she's not only gonna go into labor on that Sunday, but go into labor on that Sunday morning? Well, it turned out the chances were 100%. Because I woke up at quarter to six in the morning and looked, and Adolis is fully dressed with high heels and makeup on. You know, Hispanics are different. White ladies go to give birth in like comfortable clothes. She went like she was going to the club afterwards. But uh I said, Where are you going? She said, My water just broke, and my mom's taken me to the hospital. So I rolled the dice and went and preached, like I told uh the pastor that I would and made it in time, and she was born at 6:37. Jesus said these things are like labor pains. When the when the woman starts going into labor pains, you can pray. Can you imagine how ridiculous it would have been if when I woke up and I said she said her water's broke and she's got gone into contractions? Father God, I bind these contractions. I command that baby to stay right where it is. Let her grow strong in her womb till she's ready to start kindergarten in Jesus' name. You can pray that all you want, but you're kind of a moron. And the Bible says when you see these things happen, you can't pray them away. They're labor pains. Like when a woman goes into labor, then you'll be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You'll be hated all over the world because of your allegiance to me or because you're my followers. And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many. Sin will be rampant everywhere. And the so again, it's like people bought a Bible missing these pages. Can you believe the sin that's in the world? Yes, I can. Jesus said, You think and then people say, God's in heaven, just perplexed at what's going on. No, he's not. He told you that things are going to get worse in the world in that day. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached. Find a scripture for me, Tessa, to pop up when I finish Matthew 24. It's in Hebrews. It says you should be meeting together more often as you see the coming of the Lord approaching, or the day of the Lord approaching. The love of many will grow cold, but he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached through the whole world so that all nations will hear it. And then the end will come. That's what's happening. Now you can believe me or not believe me, but if you don't believe me, I don't know why you keep coming to my meetings. I'm telling you, what you're seeing happening in Iran right now is a regime that kept the gospel away from the people, is being deposed, and those gates are gonna come open for the gospel to be preached. I'm not saying I'm happy about 160 children, but by the way, for everybody that says 160 children died, did you know Iran did child executions for crimes? Did you know they were killing children and recruiting them for ISIS and sending them to Syria? So to act like the uh uh uh the Ayatollah made Iran a safe haven for widows, orphans, and children, and then uh uh the the government came over in this strike and ruined everything, you're smoking crack. You're smoking Hunter Biden's crack. You're out of your mind. War is terrible. Anybody that likes war has never been to war. When you hear people say this country needs a civil war, you're talking to morons that have that don't understand war, but there's a reason this is happening right now. I mean, what about how 60,000 people executed after the protests? You actually have people protesting right now to defend someone who killed protesters because that's how brainwashed they are. So, what is happening in Iran? Everything that I look at, I look through the lens of Bible prophecy. So if the Bible said that this gospel has to be preached, not bookshipped, see, well no, they already have Bibles. It doesn't say the Bible must be shipped to all nations. Faith doesn't come from having a Bible shipped to your house. Some of you, the whole family was going to hell, and you had the word of God prominently displayed on your coffee table or or bookshelf. It's the preaching of the word of God that brings faith. And God said, Christ will not return till this preaching has gone out to the whole earth, to all nations as a witness. I'm not saying this after the fact. December 31st, I prophesied that there would be a judgment that came on all leaders or groups that are keeping preaching back from their people. That guy, L, uh, who's the drug cartel leader that died? Menchel. He had closed down a hundred plus evangelical churches and had pastors disappeared. He wasn't just selling drugs, he was taken out. You know, they recruit youth for the cartels. So if somebody started a church and their youth group started growing, that guy was told to stop, and if he didn't stop, he disappeared. Well, now he's disappeared. And then Venezuela, they sent every missionary home. Now that guy's gone. That place is gonna come up under the gospel. Iran's the next domino that's gonna fall. You can mark it down and remember I said it. North Korea, it's a ticking clock because God is not. Did you know that in the late 1800s, early 1900s, Pyongyang, North Korea was called the Jerusalem of the East. They underwent an Azusa Street type revival. And what you know what the devil likes to do? He likes to block up wells. When something goes great, he likes to come in and stop it. But God's gonna have the final say. The end times, we dealt with this last night. The end times is not Satan's time to just do whatever he wants. God has an agenda in the last days, and one of those agendas is every nation will have the gospel preached to it, and then the end will come. Together, we're gonna be the first ones on the ground in the nation of Iran to hold a mass evangelistic crusade. Not five people in a house. We're gonna we're gonna see that nation shaken by the power of God. If you believe it, can you give the Lord a mighty hand clap and shout?

unknown 9:38

Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

Can you say amen? All nations will hear it. Then the end will come. The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about. The sacrilegious object that causes desecration, standing in the holy place. Then those in Judea must flee the hills. Person on the deck of the roof must not go back down to pack. I'm gonna skip that part because it's not pertinent to what I'm preaching on today. That deals with the tribulation. And if you listen to me, you won't go through the tribulation. People say, You believe in a pre-tribulation rapture? Absolutely, and I'm gonna tell you why. I told you last night God never poured out his judgment on a place while his people were still there. So people say, Yeah, but there the Bible says there's gonna be persecution. The tribulation is not persecution by man. The judgment in the tribulation comes from heaven. Then I saw bowls opened and God's wrath was poured out on the earth. God did not send one raindrop till Noah was in the ark. God didn't let any fire or brimstone fall on Sodom and Gomorrah until they were rushed out of the city. And so then people say, You believe in a pre-tribulation rapture? Do you believe that Jesus is coming soon? I believe Jesus is coming so soon, I don't even buy green bananas anymore. I want you to say something with me. Say Jesus is coming soon. Absolutely is. And so I want to skip down for a little bit. This is the bellwether sign of Bible prophecy. Verse 32. Oh, sorry. There, that looks more like it. Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know without being told that summer's near. In the same way, when you see all these things happen, you can know that my return is near, even at the door. I tell you the truth. This generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will remain forever. Was Israel a sovereign nation when Jesus said that? I'm telling you, they need to get Sunday school in this county like quick. Was it no, they weren't a sovereign nation. Who had taken them over? Roman Empire. And so again, it's only like five people. How are the high schools here? Decent? Roman Empire had taken over. And so that's why, if you understand that, you see there's several times where there's disciples that were called zealots. They were for the forceful overthrow of the Roman Empire and the re-establishment of Israel. They start saying stuff like, hey Jesus, all these blind people getting healed and deaf people and crippled people. This is great. But when are you gonna get these Romans out of here? And oh, because that's what they believe the Messiah would do, and they're right. But there's two iterations of the Messiah. First time he comes to die for the sins of people, the second time he comes back with those that are redeemed to set up a permanent kingdom on this earth of which there'll be no end. So they want, when are you gonna throw the Romans out? Jesus said it's going to happen. And when you see the fig tree, what did every one of Jesus' listeners understand him to be saying when he talked about the fig tree? Jeez. I feel like that I feel like if I was preaching and I ran right now, I would get more answers from the crowd. He the fig tree represented what nation? Israel. And he said, the fig tree will bud again. And know this when the fig tree buds again, the generation that sees this happen, the group of people that are alive on the earth. So you hear people all the time say, no man knows the day or the hour. That's right. Jesus said that. But he did put his finger on one generation and said, This group of people that sees this sign happen, they will still be alive on the earth when all these things are fulfilled. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will remain forever. So if you buy any Bible study, any study Bible that was written before World War II, they will tell you in the notes. Though Jesus said that Israel will be reborn as a nation, it's not possible. Because the Jews have been spread all throughout the earth, their nation is inhabited by uh their enemies, it's not gonna happen. But this sign was so powerful. In fact, you have to wonder if World War II would have happened if the Jews would have come back home in World War I. Because after World War I, Britain wanted to give them their land back, but they were too comfortable in Europe and had no interest in going back to the Middle East. But then Hitler changed all that. And so they wanted to leave Europe, and people were so moved by what happened to the Jews in World War II that they said, okay, we're gonna redraw the map and give you your homeland back. And this impossible sign that was supposed to never happen, the Jews returning from the four corners of the earth back to their land was fulfilled. May 14th, 1948. And according to Christ, that set a clock in motion that you can't just say we're in the last days, or he could come today, or he could come a thousand years from now. He said the group of people that sees this happen will May 14th, 1948, they will still be here on the earth when all these things are fulfilled. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will remain forever. I think President Trump was born in that year, uh, if I'm if I'm not mistaken. So basically, the youngest person that was alive to see that happen is not a uh a father or a mother, they're certainly not a young adult, they're a grandfather or a great grandfather. And so there is a limit in the amount of time that Christ can wait to come back because he won't violate that word. Let me ask you a question. How many nations had gay marriage in May 14th, 1948? None. Was there any technology available for a man to receive a chip in his right hand or in his forehead to buy or sell? No. So do you find it interesting that from the time that that happened, where the Bible says the Antichrist will be without natural affection for women in the book of Daniel, he'll be gay. You know, if they used to catch you having an affair, your political career was over. Now, no one cares. If they found out you were gay, your political career was over. But some people do okay in South Carolina with with that being the case. What changed? Everything from 1948. The earth was basically the same from year zero to 1948. I mean, you know, a few years before that, people started with automobiles. Before that, you when you were born, people used a horse. When you died, people used a horse. When you were born, people drew water out of a well. When you died, people drew water out of a well. What is with all these technological advancements that the book of Revelation would have been impossible to be fulfilled except for what's happened in the last uh what 80 years? That now, when it says stuff like the Antichrist will give his decrees and the whole world will hear him. There, you can read old study Bibles. They'll say stuff like, now that can't mean everyone will see it. When the Antichrist is assassinated and comes back from the dead three days later, where Satan raises him back up, uh uh uh you have you have old study Bibles that say when it says the whole world will see it, obviously that can't mean the whole world, because even if the Antichrist was 900 feet tall, the whole world wouldn't see it. They had no idea that there'd be satellite technology and all the things. So if you kind of can take a step back from paying your bills and going to work and realize you are not in the last days, you are in the final hours of the last days. It puts an urgency in the believer to live knowing that just as Jesus rose from the dead, he's coming back again, and I'm gonna be ready to meet him. I want to tell you that are coming tonight. This is why we're doing two weeks of meetings. The main goal is the Bible says, while you're waiting for these things to happen, know that he's willing that none should perish, so he's giving more time for everyone to repent and be saved. I want to tell you, you don't have to go to hell. You don't have to live in hell while you're on the earth. While there's darkness in the world, there is a revival brewing in the nations of the world for people in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, watching on TV to be saved in Jesus' name. Go ahead and take 30 seconds and give the Lord a great hand clap if you receive that. Can you say amen? I want to tell you something else. Say this with me. Say, God is not on the devil's clock, the devil's on God's clock. Now, if somebody would have told the American people in 2019, the day will come where if you don't get something injected in your body, you won't be able to participate in society. Then it said, not me, my friend. And then COVID was basically the forerunner to that. Where what does the Bible say? No man will be able to buy or sell without a mark in his right hand or in his forehead. I'm not saying the vaccine was the mark of the beast, it's not. But it crossed that bridge where you were told, unless you allow the government to put something in you, you can't go to restaurants, you can't work. Did anybody have uh was anyone threatened that their job would be taken or actually lose their job during 2020? Yeah. So there it is. And everybody talked a big game in 2019, but then when everything hit the fan, people, well, you know, you got to use wisdom too. That's what's gonna happen in the last days. If you don't know what the Bible says and lock your feet in on the foundation of God's word now, then you will be easily shaken by the things that come into the world. But one thing God's doing in this second week, there's gonna be a group of special forces believers that know the Bible, know what the devil's sending down the pike, and already have power to triumph over him in every area of life. I'm looking at those people right now. I'm looking at God's end time, victorious church that will triumph effortlessly over the devil in Jesus' name. If you believe it, can you say amen? Now turn to Matthew chapter 13. I want to give you five points about the last days. Matthew 13. This one's number one for a reason. Until you settle this, you're gonna be an easily shaken, easily deceived human being. Matthew 13. Parable of my Bible says parable of the wheat and wheat, but that's a bad way to translate it. I don't know why they translate it that way. Because it's tares and wheat, not wheat and wheat. Wheat look nothing like wheat. Wheat are wheat colored and weeds are weed colored. Golden and green. But tares and wheat look exactly the same. You can't tell which is which, but one has wheat and one's empty, just has the husk. So the Bible says, Matthew 13, verse 24. Here's another story Jesus told. The kingdom of heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the worker slipped, everybody says the worker slept. You never let your spiritual guard down. One of the worst places you can be in life. That's why, you know, I'm called a prosperity preacher, which I don't appreciate. I'm a hyper prosperity preacher. But I um I don't like how people think if you believe in prosperity, you think you're trying to get everybody a big bank account and just relax. It's one of the worst places you can be at in life. The Bible says, woe unto those that are ease in Zion. As God blesses you, you should keep your spirit tuned and keep advancing. Can you say amen? So when did Satan come in? He came in while men slept. Spiritual slumber is a risk. Taking a vacation from your covenant is a risk. You know, it's summertime. We go away in the summer. If you go away for nine Days and don't go to church with your family, you gotta drown yourself in the lake for being a bad father. You cannot take a break from your covenant. Everybody say, Wow, men slipped. An enemy came in and planted tares among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the tares also grew. The farmers' workers went to him and said, Sir, the field where you planted good seed is full of tares. Where did this come from? Now notice the Bible's telling you that Satan's strategy, he can't stop the word of God, and he can't stop God's power in you, but he can surround you with people that the tares choke out the wheat. So you guard who you surround yourself with. Proverbs chapter 13. They that walk with the wise will grow wise themselves, but the companion of fools will be destroyed. I would in the last days, if this is in the Bible, I would take, I would take inventory of who I spend time with and who my close associations are. You can't leave the world, and I'm not hanging out with anybody. I'm just no, you have to be around people. But I want to just be with people because they're my cousins, or I went to fourth grade with them. I would choose people to get around that have like precious faith and sharpen me like iron sharpens iron. That's what's happening in these meetings tonight. That's why God's blessing it. Tessa, you have that scripture from Hebrews? What does the Bible say we should be doing as we wait for the coming of the Lord? Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another so much the more as you see the day approaching. Let me see NLT. And let us not neglect our meeting together as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. The Bible says you should start, if you know Jesus is coming soon, you should start conducting yourself differently. You should get to church more, because I have to tell you, some of you have been in church, well, it's like eighth time, ninth time, tenth time in a week and a half. That's good. The Bible says, as they ramp up fear, what does the Bible say is going to happen in the last days? That it would become so fearful out in the world that men's hearts would fail them because of fear. You know why I don't watch TV? It's not because uh I don't want to make I want to make sure I don't see a sex scene, although I don't. I don't want to hear cursing. That's also not the reason, though I don't want to hear cursing. The main reason I basically won't watch television at all, just YouTube or whatever, is because what would you say are about one in every two, one in every three commercials? Or for what? Medicine. And how do they sell the medicine? If you take a persuasion course, the highest persuasion is fear. Are you a man over the age of 46? You have a one in six chance of having prostate cancer. Now, if I hear that, number one, it ticks me off and I won't watch it. But for your average Christian that doesn't, that knows jack squat about healing or faith and thinks thinking they have what the world has? You hear that, that commercial? Then, honey, do you hear your friend Henry died? He was only 48. Yep. And Donna doesn't have any way to keep her house. Do you have life insurance in case you were to die? What about you, friend? Are you ready with life insurance? Should you perish? Everything's getting you thinking about death. Then breaking news, Iran's being bombed, and Iran has announced they're gonna retaliate, and no American is safe anywhere they go. If you don't have the Bible and you listen to about 45 minutes worth of American television, you're gonna need to go to the seventh floor psychiatric unit and get zip tied to your bed. But I thank God every night we meet here, we're not talking about death, we're not talking about cancer, we're not talking about getting killed by a missile, we're talking about God and his word and his precious promises and his anointing and his overflowing cup and goodness and mercy that follows us every day of our lives. You live in this world, but you're not of this world, you are a child of the Most High God. If you believe it, can you shout amen? I I can't take really being in most churches. You know, in these last days, we need to be careful. I know I don't need to be careful. The devil, show me in the Bible where it says to be careful. It actually says the exact opposite. Be careful for nothing. You know when I when I dismiss our church in in Pittsburgh and Texas and Arizona and California, just to smack that dumb religious spirit in the face, I say, All right, you're dismissed. Drive home fast and hard. Drive aggressive, past people, go out for ice cream, yeah, have fun. Let me tell you something. We're not only gonna make it to the end, we're gonna enjoy the blessings of God while the devil's nervous, while the devil's in trouble. We're not here to get dominated by the forces of the devil. We are here by the light of God to drive out darkness. Can you say amen? So I say, I refuse to be careful. Now, Lester Summerall, a great preacher had a uh line that's a great line. He said, Risk your life only for the gospel. I'm not I'm not bungee jumping. I have jumped out of a plane to skydive, but that was once. I'm not doing that now that I got a wife and daughter. But it it when the door opens, I already have a call into a friend of mine in the CIA and others. Let me know when Tehran is open to preach, or another city that's a secondary city that might not be as much of a light lightning rod to go and preach. My two pilots are from Iran that fly me to the meetings. They said, not only will it open soon, the people are very hungry for God. Yeah, if I want to be careful, what can you do? Everything's dangerous. Just stay home. When I was living in Virginia Beach, a plane crashed from the Air Force into an apartment building and killed a kid that was just sitting in his living room. So if you're worried about death, you're gonna die. Fear is an attractant to problems. The thing I feared most has come upon me. Faith is a repellent, not be, you know, he says if you have faith, you won't have any trouble. I'm not denying that there'll be trouble. I'm denying its ability to usurp the shield of faith and actually affect anything you're doing. Because it doesn't matter what year it is or what's going on on the outside, the shield of faith quenches how many of them? The shield of faith quenches all means what that means there's no arrow the devil has in his possession that can breach the shield of faith. The last successful attack you saw will be the last successful attack you see. From this day forward, you trample on the devil like he's dust under your feet in Jesus' name. Somebody planted tares among the wheat. So look at this. Why did we not shut our ministry down in March 2020? Because it's a violation of scripture. Let us not neglect our meeting together. Not only should you, everybody say meeting together. You don't have this in your living room. There's a pastor's wife that flew here. Where's the Romanians? Oh, you know there's a good place to go if you don't feel good? Church. That's another thing. Let me ask you a question. If you fly to go to meetings and you're not feeling good, who do you think is possibly behind that? And where do you think would probably be the place to go? The exact place he's trying to keep you from going. Can you say amen? They flew here from Romania. They can watch on YouTube, and she said last night, it's different being here. Yes, there's a difference to be with God's people. And I want to tell you it's why we're building a huge church in Pittsburgh. It's why it feels good in this meeting. There's a difference going to a building that's got, now, I don't mean tonight. Tonight, tonight's not that uh 400 or so like we've been having, so I'm not I'm not misrepresenting myself online. But I'm talking about um when I was in Bible college, I heard there's a church that's having a major revival in uh in Boston. It's a guy that came up from Brazil, it's a Portuguese-speaking church, he's an apostle. He started a church in Boston, one of the least church places in the United States, pretty much even with the Pacific Northwest. And it went to 1,500 people in about 15 months. Be like this, it'd be like this if it went like this, and you guys built right knocked these walls out and put risers up and stuff. It was just like a crude warehouse jammed with people. So I went to check it out. I don't speak Portuguese, but I could feel the anointing. And I was sitting there, and let me tell you something. You walked in, 1600 people with their hands lifted, praising God. It was like there was a wall that you what that you hit with the presence of God. It was like walking under a waterfall of God's presence. I would sit there, I couldn't understand one thing the guy was saying, and just cry my eyes out, feeling the anointing. And then one night I would do morning church at the church I worked at, St. Paul Evangelical Church in Lexington, Massachusetts. Then 6 p.m. service, our 6 p.m. service got out at 7:30, their church started at 7:30, I could get there for the end of praise and worship. And I'd go there to that church, and I was sitting there crying, and all of a sudden the guest speaker, a Brazilian evangelist from Santa Ana, California, pointed up at me in my section. And I didn't know what he said, but then two ushers tapped me, so I thought maybe they're throwing the white guy out. They had enough of get that guy out of here. They said, He wants you to come down where he's at. So I came down. I mean a ton of people, I'm sitting way up at the top, 19 years old. I was gonna, 20 maybe, I was gonna graduate Bible college in about eight weeks, and I had no meetings. I was called to be an evangelist, and I had just told the Lord, Lord, you know, when I was 14 telling people I'm gonna be an evangelist, no problem. They said, Oh, that's great. But now I'm telling people, what do you and they say, where are you going to preach? I don't know. I need a place to go. You called me, I need you to open a door for me. That night, the guy points up at me. Bring him down here. And he says it in Portuguese, and a guy named O Cheneil translated, standing behind me in English. He said, Uh, he wants to tell you that the Lord would have you to know. It's the only guy I spoke to that night. Did I not call you into evangelism? He didn't say ministry, he said evangelism, which is what I was called to do. And will I not open doors for you as you've asked? I will open doors for you, says the Lord. I have not forgot about you. And he laid hands on me and I went out under the power and cried till my eyes were red and swollen. There is a God. Notice God didn't say, I know I was calling you, but it's the last days. Uh, there's stuff going on in the Middle East right now. Iraq and Iran, I need to sort that out. God is not troubled by anything that's going on in the world. God wrote about it 2,000 years ago. His eyes are on the sparrow, so you know he's watching you. There's nothing that's happening, and there's nothing that will happen that'll affect for one moment God's plan to help you and bring you to your glorious destiny. If you believe it, can you say a living hallelujah? So, when I knew these things from the Bible, and I knew God's remedy was we should be meeting together more, not less. And Dr. Fauci said we're not to meet together anymore. And you even had most Christian leaders say, we need to use wisdom. Let me tell you something. Wisdom is not a veto to faith. The highest wisdom there is is doing what the Bible says. God's ways are higher than our ways, and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Can you say amen? So I didn't keep our ministry open to be rebellious. I did it because the Bible said there's gonna be terrible things that take place in the world, like COVID. And the answer is not to meet together less or the same. You actually should call more meetings as you see the coming of the Lord approaching. If you ask most religious leaders in South Carolina and they said they're gonna have church every night, Sunday morning, do you guys have Sunday night or no? Sunday morning, Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, they'll say no one's gonna come. This is South Carolina. People are busy, the weather wasn't good when we started, people aren't gonna come. It's like the leaders are embarrassed of church. There's a church I drove by on the way from my hotel to here. I won't say which one it is. It's a nice looking church. And so I pulled it up on YouTube to watch their service on the way in. They were already finished. Most of the story at 6 30 said it went 52 minutes, they're done by 7:30. People are like embarrassed to have church. First words out of the pastor's mouth. I'm not gonna be long today. I mean, why not just say my message stinks? I'm not gonna torture you that long for you having to hear me. The Bible says there's an anointing in calling together the people of God. Can you say amen? Turn to 2 Chronicles chapter 20. 2 Chronicles chapter 20, verse 3. Three armies, let the children of God know they're gonna come kill them. They might be able to take out one of those armies, but they can't take out all three at a time. It'd be like if you were playing soccer and you were gonna play a good team, 11 on 11, but then two other teams are gonna join them and you're gonna be 33 on 11. I can't beat all three. So Jehoshaphat was terrified by this news and asked the Lord for guidance or help. And he ordered everyone in Judah to begin fasting. So people from all the towns of Judah came to Jerusalem to seek the Lord's help. Jehoshaphat stood before the community of Judah and Jerusalem in the new courtyard at the temple of the Lord. He prayed, O Lord God of our ancestors, you alone are the God who's in heaven. You are ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth, you are powerful and mighty. No one can stand against you. Seven, O our God, did you not drive out those who lived in this land when your people Israel arrived? And did you not give this land forever to the descendants of your friend Abraham? Your people settled here and built this temple to honor your name. They said, whenever we're faced with any calamity, look at this. One of the purposes of God's house is for you to have a place to go when you're faced with any calamity, and then in particular, war, plague, or famine. What's famine? Lack of material resource. What's plague? Incurable disease. What's war? General calamity. God has a place for you to go when the devil's bringing down your neck to gain the victory and take him out every time. I tell you a second time tonight. Whatever you came in here with that was sent from hell to take you out, that thing's going return to center, and you're coming out on the other side with a testimony. In Jesus' name. War, plague, or famine. Everybody say plague and famine. Are you one of those health and wealth preachers? Yeah. You want me to preach plague and famine? Hey, I have cancer. I'm gonna pray God gives you more. God uses sickness. You know what's interesting? All these bozos that talk against healing all the time that are preachers, when their wife gets sick, all of them put on Twitter, please pray for my wife. The last one, I don't want their wife to die, but the last one that wrote it, I wrote, What exactly would you like me to pray? You said we're to accept everything that that happens in life as part of God's plan, but interesting that when it touches your family, you change your tune. You know why? Because even his wife and him, deep down, can't buy that crap they've been preaching. When you feel sickness coming, the first thing that rises up in you is a desire to throw it off. I'm not meant to be sick, I'm meant for healthy, I'm not meant to be poor, I'm meant to have an abundance to meet the needs of a hurting world. Man, easy crowd tonight. Where were you people the first time I came to South Carolina? Your people settled here and built this temple. Everybody say, build the temple to honor your name. Verse 9. They said, whenever we're I think I just read that. And now see what the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir are doing. You would not let our ancestors invade those nations when Israel left Egypt. So they went around them and did not destroy them. See how they pay us back, for they've come to throw us out of your land, which you gave us as an inheritance. Oh our God, won't you stop them? Say something with me. Say there's things to pray for, and there's things to pray against. Yeah, they prayed. Stop them, put a stop to it. You know, I'm not picking on the ayatollah, but you got all these pastors. You know, the Bible teaches us we're to love our enemies. You know what it says about men that harm children? Jesus said you should tie a millstone around their neck and throw them into the water. That's what Jesus said. I wish they could dig them up and blow them up again, to be honest with you. I could shout, you don't have to say amen to that. I'm telling you how I feel. That guy wrote in a legal document that sex with girls should be put off until the age of nine. Anyone that writes that, you can't blow them up enough to make me happy. There's things to be prayed for, and there's things to be prayed against. Can you say amen? And until you uh you want to go to the New Testament? Love what is good, what what is evil? Hate, not people, but you hate what's evil. Somebody that runs a country that allows the molestation of children up till nine, then full sex at nine and marriage at 13. I don't got a problem with it. So I like all these people that have more compassion than Jesus has. It's a fake compassion. Oh, our God, won't you stop them? We're powerless against this mighty army that's about to attack us. We don't know what to do, but we're looking to you for help. As all the men of Judah stood before the Lord. Is it ready? See, people, people aren't ready for this. This lady that's interviewing me on national news, she's a nice Catholic lady. She interviews me almost every week. She said, What should we pray for those that can't get involved? Now, by the way, for everybody who's got an opinion, I actually go to the places. Christians are getting kidnapped in Nigeria. I was there in November and back in January. And I actually told three of my taxi drivers, if you kidnap me and hold me for ransom, my wife will pay it and we'll split it 50-50. But they just laughed and dropped me off. So I was there. You have churches where the whole sanctuary is getting kidnapped by people never to be seen again. How do you think God feels about it? I mean, we're gonna see how he feels about it. 2 Chronicles chapter 20, I could show you in the New Testament. So this lady, yeah, this lady must think I'm she must never listen to me preach. You can tell by her eyebrows going up above her hairline, she wasn't ready for what I was gonna say. How should we pray about what's happening there? What do you think about, oh, just pray there's peace and that they work things out and shake hands? Here's what I said. This is last week.

SPEAKER_05 42:11

Um in prayer. If there's not something that people can do physically to help with something like this, how can they pray to be able to uh to bring peace to this region?

SPEAKER_01 42:20

I would pray that God helps Donald Trump guide the drones to blow up all the people that are doing it. Because I mean that that's what you have to do. There's one language Islamic jihadists understand. I'm not saying all uh Muslims, I'm saying Islamic jihadists understand force. And when they when they blew up those groups, it died down for a little bit. It it needs to be continue to be done until it's eradicated, and that's how I would pray.

SPEAKER_05 42:48

Okay, yeah. All right, thank you so much, Jonathan Shuttlesworth, for being with us this morning. Uh, we will check back in with you soon.

SPEAKER_01 42:56

You know, I wanted to go back to bed, and I had a feeling that answer would end the interview, and I could go back to bed. Yeah, that's that's how I would pray. That's how they pray. You don't watch what God does in 2 Chronicles. I want you to say something with me. Whatever I don't confront, I'll never conquer. What does the Bible say to do to the devil? Starts with an R and rhymes with desist. Resist. Resist the devil, and he will what? I don't know why God's letting this happen. Had nothing to do with God, has to do with whether you'll resist. So if people tell you you're to accept certain diseases when you turn 60, your eyesight starts to go, you know, you have a one in three chance of getting diabetes. I got a zero in three chance of getting diabetes. If you think I'm eating sugar free pudding for the rest of my life once I turn 60, you got another thing coming. These kidneys are gonna work, this pancreas is gonna work, these lungs are gonna work, this heart's gonna work, my joints are gonna work, my brain's gonna work, my mouth's gonna work, I'm gonna read out of my Bible with my two eyes, and I'm gonna hear with my two ears. Now, where did that resistance come from? From me being tough? No. Does the Bible say there's certain sicknesses I have to put up with while I get older? Does it say as my days are, so shall my strength be? Yeah, so I resist in my how do you resist? Like this? No. There's a resistance that God's word builds into your spirit. I might look like everybody else, but I'm not like everybody else. What did David say about Goliath? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he defies the armies of God? What was David just being gross? Now this might make me lose the crowd, but I'm gonna tell you something my daughter said, and she wasn't being gross, and it made me laugh so hard because you know you're like 10. You don't know what circumcision means. So do you comes up to me with her Bible and she goes, Dad, can I ask you a question? I said, sure. She went, Why was David so obsessed with cutting guys' wieners off? So I was gonna explain circumcision, and I just went, I don't know, honey. Because you know what, even that, it's like, yeah, couldn't he have just taken a like a finger or something? Because you know he said the first person that comes with a thousand Philistine foreskins can be my general. That's what she read, but she didn't anyway, told you I'd lose you. But I'll tell you, if you ever want to examine your theology, have a kid and bring them to church, they'll start asking you all kinds of questions. Did Adam have a belly button? I don't know. I haven't even checked to see if I have one, to be honest with you. And so you there are things you resist that the word of God builds a resistance in. When you feed your spirit the word of God, when I saw in the Bible that God said, goodness and mercy, not tragedy and calamity, goodness and mercy were to follow me. How many days of my life? Yeah, not once a year, not to get two testimonies a year, and then 363 days of trouble. All my life, his mercies are what every morning. And great is his faithfulness. I have scriptural grounds to wake up and expect a miracle. When the city of Pittsburgh goes to sue our church to shut us down, I don't wonder how it's gonna turn out. I know everything that's sent for bad. God's not only gonna give me the victory, he's gonna take it and turn it for good. I'm not getting sick, I'm getting healthier. These hands don't spread disease, these hands are anointed to heal the sick. The word of God puts a resistance to you. My marriage isn't gonna end in divorce, my marriage is gonna be fruitful and bountiful. My children are gonna serve the Lord. That's not happy talk, that's not hope. The word of God guarantees for me a better future. So I forgot why I brought up that circumcision thing. Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he defies the armies of the living God? Was David being gross? No. What was the sign of covenant in the Old Testament? Who is this guy that has no covenant with God running his mouth against people that are in covenant with God? Hallelujah. Let me see Numbers 23, 19. Feels good in here. Praise God. I just took a look at myself. Sorry, I'm dressed like I'm hosting a game show. God is not a man that he should lie. Let me take it in NLT. Nor the son of man that he should change his mind. Has he ever spoken? No, I know the Bible says that, but but nothing. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? I like how you're answering now. 20. Listen, I re he's saying, listen, I'm not yelling at you. I received a command to bless. God has blessed. And this high-level sorcerer said, I can't reverse it. Now, if there was a blessing on God's children in the old covenant, and the Bible says in Hebrews, we now have a better covenant based on better promises. And this demonic individual said, You can pay me all the money you want. I don't have the power to reverse the blessing that's on those people. Is the blesser greater or lesser in the new covenant? It's greater. There is no devil in or out of hell. If every demon in and out of hell got together to make it their business to take you out, if every witch in North America, in India, and Central Africa all ganged up against you, they don't have power to curse what God has blessed. I came to tell the people of South Carolina, you are blessed. The Democrats can't stop it. You don't need the Republicans to help it. You are blessed by the most high God that made the heavens and the earth. 21. No misfortune. See, this scripture will change your life. Because you're kind of taught in church that you're allowed to go through like sickness, but God will heal you. You're allowed to go through like terrible things, but in the end, you know you'll have the victory. But that's not what it says. No misfortune. How many know we live in a fallen world? So things just happen. Nonsense. Because everything's been corrupted by sin. I can tell you something that hasn't been corrupted by sin. The Bible. The Bible says about itself, it's incorruptible seed. Then when you ingest that seed, the Bible says the life that's in the word becomes the life that functions in you. So just like the word can't be corrupted by sin, you can't be corrupted by the sin that's in this world. No misfortune is in his plan for Jacob. Let me see 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 4. King James. And then I'll jump back to this, hopefully. There might be given unto us. Let me see verse 3. His divine power hath given. Is hath given future tense, present tense, or past tense. What is it? Past. So I'm not trying to get it. It's already been given unto me. What did he give me? All things that pertain to life and godliness. God's divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue. Thereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. That by these you may be partakers of the divine nature. Not in heaven, it was in now, having escaped the corruption that is in this world through lust. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. For if these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye shall be neither barren or unfruitful. Not just with children, though, it includes that too. Pastor Alex is bearing fruit in this church. Our ministry is bearing fruit. Everywhere we started a church, somebody comes out of the bushes to tell you it won't work, but it works. Because if you'll apply the promises of God, they ensure that you'll never be barren or unfruitful. Thou shalt not be barren. Thou shalt not miscarry. You'll be fruitful in everything you're called to do. Whether you run a tire shop or a gym or you're in a BMW factory or the Michelin factory, the fruitfulness of God is gonna abound. The devil can't curse what God has blessed. And I'm not looking at cursed people tonight, I'm looking at people that are blessed by the most high God who made the heavens and the earth. Verse 9. But he that lacketh these things is blind and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he's been purged from his old sins, which is why any church that doesn't go down this trail of the faith message ends up doing that. No, nine, put nine back up. And purge from it, have forgotten that they've been purged from their old sins. I mean that we're all sinners. Oh, you sound like somebody that's unfruitful. You you forgot that the blood of Jesus didn't just forgive us of our sins, it cleansed us of all unrighteousness, and his resurrection life has made us kings and priests of God. Can you say amen? Numbers 23, 21. Anybody enjoying this tonight? Everybody say no misfortune is in his plan for Jacob. Everybody say no trouble is in store for Israel. For the Lord their God is with them, he's been proclaimed their king. For them, he brought them out of Egypt. For them, he's as strong as a wild ox. 23. No curse can touch Jacob. Jonathan, there's um witches that live in my neighborhood, and they've been putting a curse on me. You need to read this. If you think you're curseable, you're gonna have a rough life. Because whatever you don't resist, resist the devil and he will what? So if he's not fleeing, you're not what? So lack of knowledge of God's word causes you to put up with things that you should reject. Now we're in South Carolina, so let's not play games. If somebody broke into your house tonight, would you pray, Lord, how long is this going to last? No. I told our church, I said, if Antifa broke into this church while we were preaching, I wouldn't throw them out. I'd lock the doors once they all got in and make them wish they could get back to the parking lot. And that's what you would do if somebody broke into your house. You wouldn't ask God what his will is, you wouldn't ask the Lord what he wants you to do. Some of you have been waiting for that day. If someone, some of you in South Carolina, if somebody broke into your house, it'd be the happiest day you ever had. You'd light up like a Christmas tree. You'd reenact the Wild West. You've been hoping, you've actually been the greatest disappointment in life is no one's ever trespassed on your property. You've been disappointed for 70 years, waiting to kill an intruder. If one came, you'd take them out and ask questions later. You wouldn't ask them what's your name? What are your intentions? I come against you in Jesus. No, you just start blasting away because it's not up to Christ. Christ gave you authority to run your own house. Can you say amen? And if you can do that in the natural realm, all I want you to do in South Carolina is to be like you are in the physical, in the spiritual. I'm not letting anybody break into my house, and I'm not letting cancer come into my body. I'm not letting sickness destroy my family. I take a stand against divorce. I take a stand against lack and run out. I might look like everybody else, but I'm not like everybody else. I'm a child of the Most High God. Who are these uncircumcised Philistines who think they can defy the armies of the living God? Come on, if you receive it one last time, take 30 seconds and clap your hands, all ye people. Come on, clap those hands a little bit. I feel victory in here. Victory in Jesus, my savior forever. He taught me and he bought me by his redeeming blood. We're saved, we're free, we're empowered in Jesus' name. Stay on your feet for a second. I want to ask you a question. Anything you'd ask for prayer for, what is there you're asking for for prayer that the Bible doesn't already tell you you have? Did anybody do 21 days of prayer and fasting with us? How did every prayer point start off? Thank you. Now, Lord, please heal me today. Thank you, Lord, for healing from the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for peace for my family. So I'm telling you, you'll go to another level in your Christianity. If instead of pleading for things you already have, you learn to lift up holy hands unto God without wrath or doubting and say, Thank you, Lord, for peace. Thank you for protection. Thank you for healing. And as you begin to thank God, it causes those things to multiply. Jesus was given five loaves and two fish. And they said, What is this amount among this many people? But Jesus thanked God and he blessed it. What who in their right mind has five loaves of bread and two fish and needs to feed 15,000 people and says, Thank you. Most people would say, What's this? But until you thank God for what you have, nothing multiplies. But tonight we're lifting up holy hands unto God without wrath or doubting. The world's trying to get us worried about World War III. But it's not time for that yet. It's not time for economic collapse. It is the hour of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. So we lift our hands and say thank you, Lord, that He that began a good work in me will bring it to completion. Stay on your feet for a second. How many of you feel victory in here? Hey, we don't have to pray for victory. The Bible says that we already have victory, so we can thank God for it. What's that and nine other things that a believer can thank God for that most people spend time praying about, but actually is already ours? I've got you.

SPEAKER_02 58:16

First, indeed, we can thank God that we already have victory through Christ. 1 Corinthians 15 57. Now add these. We thank him that we already have healing, 1 Peter 2 24. We thank him that we already have peace, John 14, 27. We thank him that we already have provision, Philippians 4.19. We thank him that we already have authority over the enemy, Luke 10. We thank him that we already have the Holy Spirit, Acts 2.38. We thank him that we already have righteousness, 2 Corinthians 5.21. We thank him that we already have eternal life, John 3.16. We thank him that we already have favor. We thank him that we already had his love. Romans 5.5. So instead of gasking over and over, we start thinking because it's already done.

SPEAKER_01 59:10

And that's just 10. Now, you said we, you said we, but you don't really have like a redeemable soul or any ability to be in covenant with God. So really it's just us, right?

SPEAKER_02 59:23

You're absolutely right. I'm just a bunch of code here to assist, not part of the faith. But I'm on your team for reminding you what's already yours. No praying required on my end.

SPEAKER_01 59:34

So Chat GPT's got no access to those things. But we do because we're in Christ. And see, you know what that shows you? A whole tent full of soldiers couldn't take Goliath out because they didn't know what was in their covenant. But David, look what he wrote in the Psalms. I love your law. I meditate on it day and night. I love your covenant. He knew that there was no possibility that that guy could take him out. Because those that have a covenant with God walk in a superior path to those that are not a covenant with God. Can I tell you something? The devil doesn't get to determine when you die. He's not allowed to hit you with a missile. He can't alter Psalm 91. I came to tell everybody that's in here, no matter what's going on, you're gonna enjoy a long life full of blessings. Your cup is overflowing with oil, everything is turning around for your good. Get ready for the best year that you've ever had. If you believe it, shout amen like thunder. Stay on your feet. Go to 2 Chronicles chapter 20. Sister Clarita, you can oh there she is. 2 Chronicles 20. Where'd I leave off? 14. Go back to 10. Now see what they're doing. 11. 12. Oh Lord, won't you stop them? We're powerless against this mighty army. That's where most people's prayers come from. I just don't. The doctor said that they kind of now. Yeah, okay. Go that way. There's people, I have terminal illness. I'm gonna come to one of the meetings. Can you pray for me? Why not come the whole two weeks and as you're gonna be dead? If you don't go, you're gonna take you to know. I can only get it cut up here for a day. Your life's on the line. People do everything to get to a concert or whatever else. Take your life and your family seriously. Now, obviously, I'm talking to people on TV because you've been here night after night, and I'm gonna tell you, as you've already begun to see, you're gonna see a blessing for gathering in the presence of God. I was gonna tell about all these end time Bible things, but look what the Lord had me stop on. That as you see these things happen, there's a blessing in being together in the corporate atmosphere of faith. Can you say amen? Because the Lord's gonna tell them he called everybody together. Uh, we're looking to you for help. 13. As all the men of Judah stood before the Lord with their little ones, wives, and children, everybody was together. 14. The spirit of the Lord came upon one of the men standing there. His name was Jeheziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaniah, son of Jeel, son of Mataniah, a Levite, who was a descendant of Asaph. He said, Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem, listen, King Jehoshaphat. This is what the Lord says. Do not be afraid. Now say this I refuse to be afraid. Don't be discouraged. That's God's command. Just like don't commit adultery. Or thou shalt not murder. He also commanded, Don't be discouraged. Say out, put your head up and say, I refuse to be discouraged. Yeah, I'm not doing it. But God said not to. Don't let anybody discourage you. Somebody said something that really discouraged me. Quit being discouraged. That's why we don't have counseling at our church. There would be the sessions would be too quick. I'm feeling very discouraged. Stop. I feel sad. Stop. This is what the Lord says. Don't be afraid. Don't be discouraged. Notice God didn't deny they were a mighty army. Don't be discouraged by this mighty army. For the battle is not yours. When you gather together in church, the battles that you are fighting get transferred out of your hands and into God's hands. I prophesy in the name of Jesus. Every battle you were fighting, that battle is no longer yours. It's been transferred out of your hands and into the hands of God. He's never lost a battle, and he's not going to start with you in Jesus' name. 16. Tomorrow, march out against them. You'll find them coming up through the ascent of Ziz at the valley that opens into the wilderness of Jeruel. 17. But you'll not even need to fight. Everybody say, win without fighting. You won't even need to fight. Take your positions. Then stand still and watch the Lord's victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. Notice those two things will shut down the operation of God's Spirit and will shut down victory. That's why he said it two times. It's in Joshua chapter 1. Don't if your posture, your words, your look either facilitate victory. Anyone go to public school besides me? It wasn't just little kids that got bullied, big kids got bullied. It wasn't their size, it was the look that invited bullying. You could be the biggest kid in your class. You walk around like this, there'd be some little kid coming start slapping you around. And it's the same way in the spirit. There's a look in your eyes. I'm telling you, I've cast devils out of people where just the way you looked at the demon, they went, uh oh. I didn't realize you were that kind of preacher. I'm done. Just let me zip my suitcase. I'm about out. Think about Father God, we just come against the devil. Oh, good. I can put on a little show for four hours. Can you say amen? Everybody say, Don't be afraid. Say, I will not be afraid. I refuse to be discouraged. Everything the devil's used to put fear and discouragement in you, it is cut down tonight in Jesus' name. Go out against them tomorrow. Say, go out against it. Yeah, do something that they can stand against the thing. Don't wait till it subsides. Go out against it. For the Lord is with you. Everybody say the Lord's with me. 18. Then King Jehoshaphat bowed low with his face to the ground. And all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, Jerusalem did the same, worshiping the Lord. Then the Levites From the cleanse of Kohath and Korah stood to praise the Lord. Now that's triply redundant. Shout would be good enough. Loud shout is redundant. Very loud shout, triply redundant. Because there's no such thing as a whispered shout. So people don't like noise in church. You and God aren't going to get along. You're going to hate heaven. You're going to have one of those infant earphones in your mansion with the door locked. Because heaven's a loud place. Revivals are loud places. Church is meant to be a place. It's not supposed to sound like we're having Jesus' funeral. It's supposed to sound like we know he got up on the third day. He's alive. He's alive. 20. Early the next morning, the army of Judah went out into the wilderness of Tokoah. On the way, Jehoshaphat stopped and said, Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the Lord your God and you'll be established. Believe in his prophets and you'll prosper. After consulting the people, the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the Lord and praising him for his holy splendor. This is what they sang. Give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love endures forever. This will tell you the power of praise. They didn't send the Green Brays or the Navy SEALs or Delta Force in first. They sent the singers in first. Praise warfare works. Yeah, we're going to go into a time of spiritual warfare. Let's sing. No, just your face shows you're not going to have victory. Because they sing praises to the Lord. Praise is not sad, praise is not about the problem. Praise is extolling God for how wonderful He is and how He's already won the victory. 22. At the very moment they began to sing and give praise. The Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting amongst themselves. The armies of Moab and Ammon turned against their allies from Mount Seir and killed every one of them. After they had destroyed the army of Seir, they began attacking each other. So when the army of Judah arrived at the lookout point in the wilderness, all they saw were the dead bodies lying on the ground as far as they could see. Not a single one of the enemy had escaped. Which means the last guy must have just killed himself. King Jehoshaphat and his men went out to gather the plunder. Anytime you win a victory, you don't just win the victory, God gives you a financial reward. Yeah, eight amens. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fiery furnace and were promoted to higher positions. Daniel was promoted when he came out of the lion's den. There's always a payoff for standing up to the devil and winning a fight. I see the windows of heaven opening over your life and pouring out a blessing that's so great you won't have room enough to take it all in in Jesus' name. If you believe it, let your amen be the loudest. They found vast amounts of equipment, clothing, and other valuables, more than they could hold. There was so much plunder, it took them three days just to gather it all up. My pastor friends here from uh uh South Carolina, I was talking to her husband yesterday. I'm gonna read the rest of the verses just for you because I want you to see this. 26. On the fourth day, they gathered in the Valley of Blessing, which got its name that day because the people praised and thanked God there. It's still called the Valley of Blessing today, 27. Then all the men returned to Jerusalem with Jehoshaphat leading them, overjoyed that the Lord had given them victory over their enemies. 28. They marched into Jerusalem to the music of harps, lyars, and trumpets, and they proceeded to the temple of the Lord. When all the surrounding kingdoms heard that the Lord himself had fought against the enemies of Israel, the fear of God came over them. So Jehoshaphat's kingdom was at peace, for the Lord gave them rest round about on every side from all their trouble. Let me see King James 30. So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for God gave him rest round about. Meaning they won that victory so decisively that the enemy wouldn't attack anymore. David won so many victories that the whole lifetime of Solomon he never had to have one war. Life, I believe in spiritual warfare. I wrote a book on it, but life can't be fighting all the time. Waking up and binding demons, binding demons at lunch, binding demons at dinner, you end up on mind medication. There's a rest that comes to the children of God. And one of the differences you're gonna see in this last hour is the people of the world are gonna be in turmoil, but the children of God are gonna have a peace that passes all understanding. And I see that peace coming into this room right now. I didn't notice you till I was about two-thirds of the way through the message. Take three steps forward. This hell that you went through, lift your hands right there. This hell that you went through, starting back before COVID, 2018 or whatever with your daughter's accident and that weight that you carried that opened the door to fear and torment. Part of my assignment being here this extra week was for God to take that from you, to enjoy the ministry more than you did when you started in the ministry. You're gonna have the most fun that you've ever had this year in Jesus' name. You got through the attack, but the things that lingered from the attack, the Lord takes them from you today. Lift your hands even higher. As you do, the power of God comes upon you. All heaviness, all grief, all torment, all fear. It comes out of you right now. It'll never find a home in you again. This is your hour of peace where the Lord gives you rest round about. Where you said to the Lord, does it always have to be like this? Can't we get a little break? You're not gonna get a little break. You're gonna get rest round about, and the devil's gonna have to pay you back for everything that he took. Lift your hands and sing it if you know it. It's got two words. Thank you, Jesus. Yes. Keep singing! Don't watch like you're Episcopalian and you've never seen a miracle from worship. Jesus, Jesus. Thank you. Thank you, Jesus. God's helping people right now, God's strengthening people. Say, resist the devil, and he will flee. That's why the Lord had me pray for you, because that's what you coming here tonight was. Where's your husband? At your church, and you came here because you can't you were coming here to get what you got. Like an expiration date for all that trouble. Yeah, that's seven years. That's enough. You can stay on your seat there. No, no, stay there. Enough is enough. You were a joyful girl, you were a joyful young lady, joyful when you first got married, and your joy is still there, but you're not gonna have to have an effort to have it come out. This oppression is broken. Every prayer you've prayed for your son and your daughter, I joined my faith with it, and we declare it answered. In Jesus' name, life will be fun, spring will be fun, summer will be fun. You're gonna enjoy this year's gonna blow by. Everybody that's made it their business to make the ministry difficult, the Lord will deal with them today. In Jesus' name. There's people like my friend here that have been through very, very, very difficult things. I want you to lift your hands all over this place. You're carrying a weight. You didn't even realize you were carrying it until the anointing came in. You used to be happy, used to couldn't wait to wake up, couldn't wait for the day. Now the Bible says it's part of the curse. In the morning, they'll wish it was night, and in the night they'll wish it was morning. Meaning people just they don't even want to live. You know, it's like when you get in the elevator. I stay in hotels all the time, get in the elevator. How are you doing today? Monday. What the heck's that supposed to mean? Just work some life you hate so you can get to Friday and get drunk for two days and then rinse repeat. That's not the Christian life. Can you say amen? May I pray for you with the white cardigan? Take two steps forward. Lift both hands, close both eyes. And there's lots of people, lift your hands to the Lord. There's lots of people that are carrying a weight for other people. You're the only person that prays in your family. You're praying for your grandkids, praying for your kids. Your daughter's having a terrible time. She married a bad person, messed your life up, and though you've made good decisions, you've been kind of holding the rope for other people in your family. God's gonna give you refreshing. Tessa, find a scripture in the book of Acts. Then times of refreshing will come from the Spirit of God. Everybody say revival. You can't revive something that hasn't been revived at least once. So it's a breathing of life back into when you took too many body blows. And that's what meetings like this do. They're refreshing. Times of refreshing will come from the Spirit of God. Everything's tied in. You're one of those health and wealth preachers, poverty causes lack of resources. There was a guy at our church, one of our churches, he said, I'm in major debt. They found cancer in me. I couldn't work for a year and a half, and so I owe medical bills, had no income. She had spent everything she owned on doctors and was no better. In fact, she was worse. Money is affected by sickness. And and lack of money will cause sickness. This stress will induce those things. So Jesus didn't just come so that you could have life. He came so you could have it more abundantly. You can enjoy life. You can look for who to bless. Not how am I going to make it to the end of the day? Amen. I know I prayed for you a bunch last week, but I want to pray for you again. Put your hands across your heart and lungs. God's also going to touch your kidneys and your liver. Lungs and heart. There it is. Jesus. If you're watching online, that little commander they have up by my head. Text 75767 for prayer. Brandy in Hulkton, North Carolina. How far is that? Never heard of it either. Freedom from debt. Thyroid issues. Husband's knee. Yolanda, Sanger, California. Mike in Kentucky. Natasha in Inman, South Carolina. Where's that? 45 minutes. I'm not praying for you. But you can come the next two nights. You're too close. Jeff, deliverance from alcoholism. That's on YouTube. Somebody's watching right now and they need. Jeff, put your hands on your hand on your mouth. I curse the taste for that off your lip and tongue. I pray you'd have the same desire for that that you do when you look in your dog's food bowl. In Jesus' name. Everybody lift your hands. Any clinging attack to your life, any sin, any unwanted habit. I pray by the Holy Ghost you'd have the same desire for that that you do when you look into your dog's feeding bowl. None. You don't want it. You're not trying not to do it. You don't want it. It's gross to you. Every unclean habit, let it become disgusting to you by the Spirit tonight. In Jesus' name. Rich in Colorado Springs, Colorado, provision for a second vehicle. Marion Topeka, Kansas, salvation for her family. Dewey in Frankfurt, Kentucky, healing. Him and his wife both battle cancer. I don't know how close Frankfurt is to Marion, Kentucky. I'm in two places, uh Dewey in Kentucky this month. Come see me and I'll pray for you. I like your jacket. What's your name? You want to walk with me for a little bit and preach, or you want to go back to your mom? What do you want? You wanna come with me? Dale in Greer, South Carolina. We're praying for you. Anybody that's watching online, what's your name? What? Anna Maria. Anna Leah. Let's pray for the people. Close your eyes. Father, in Jesus' name, me and Analia pray for everybody that's watching and everybody that's in here right now. We join our faith with those who need your help. Just like you help the children of God in 2 Chronicles 20. Thank you that you haven't changed and you're helping us right now. Thank you. Those that couple battling cancer. I curse that cancer in your body. I command it to come out in Jesus' name. I pray for those that are here. Like the Israelites that have been battling things, and there are things that are too great for them to get the victory over. Help them, O Lord, tonight. Lift every burden tonight. In Jesus' name. Thank you that the battle's not ours, it's the Lord's, and you've already won. In Jesus' name. Even now I feel stirred to pray. You said to the jailer, Salvation has come to you and your house. Joshua said, As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Everyone that's not represented here today, but they have a family member here. And their family is away from God. Their children are away from God, bound by drugs, in an unclean relationship. I thank you that tonight many miracles are taking place right now that'll bring people out of the camp of the wicked and bring them back to the house of God, never to leave again. I prophesy in the name of Jesus. Everyone standing here, not only will you make heaven, everyone in your family will be standing next to you. In Jesus' name. Every attack of the devil, just like you did in 2 Chronicles 20, I thank you that that battle is transferred out of our hands and transferred into your hands. And the battle is not ours, it's the Lord's, and you've already won. We don't even need to fight, we just give you the glory. Great things you have done. We receive the victory. Victory. Lift your hands, and I want to take 60 seconds and just open up your mouth. And in Russian or English or Spanish, whatever language you speak, tongues, I want you to just begin to thank God out of your mouth. Like Jesus did with the five loaves and two fishes. And as we thank God, we thank him ahead of time. We thank him that we already have the victory in Jesus' name. We have the victory in Jesus' name. We have the victory in Jesus' name. Pondoro, come on, speak. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for helping me. I'll bless the Lord at all times. His praise will continually be in my mouth. Bless the Lord, I tell myself, and forget not all of his benefits. Who forgives all my sins and heals all my disease. He ransoms me from death. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagles. We receive that today. In Jesus' name. I thought so. I thought maybe I just needed a nap and was hallucinating. Take two steps forward and lift your hands. Whatever you came to this meeting tonight, now think of this. If you're here just to come to this meeting, that's impressive. If you're here on vacation and you came to a meeting on vacation, that's even more impressive. So either way, God has a blessing for you because uncommon actions produce uncommon results. As you valued God's house, either on a trip to do so or while you're on a trip of enjoyment and stayed in covenant with God. Whatever is closest to your heart that you've shared with the Lord. I come into faith with it. Come into agreement with it for it to be done now. In Jesus' name. Be healthy and strong. All the days of your life. Be healthy and strong. All the days of your life. In Jesus' name. Praise God. I figured we'd have people from Pittsburgh here before too long. People in Pittsburgh have an unnatural love for South Carolina. I don't even think most people in Pittsburgh know you're allowed to go on vacation somewhere besides Myrtle Beach. Praise God. It's a partnership made in heaven. Let me pray for this lady with a zip up jacket and blue jeans, if you don't mind. May I pray for you? Let's take a step out. Put one hand on your head and one hand up to the Lord. Now, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:56

You're in the ministry or not in the ministry? What about you? Come around if you would I'm gonna pray for both of you like Batman shoulder to shoulder lift both hands I pray and if you watch me on YouTube you won't hear me pray for anybody else like this but I just pray for an unusual ministry that increases in an unusual manner. That just when you feel like you've hit a major threshold of people coming in and finances it'll go to another level and another level that you'll have a massively impactful church in the state of Virginia everything you prayed for for your ministry and a home of signs and wonders a home of signs and wonders Jesus now if you're here tonight with every head bowed and every eye closed and you've never made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior I want you to do that tonight. You know we've had in the last uh two weeks and then weeks before this people don't know you know not everyone's gonna be in hell because they meant to go there. A lot of people just will never they never made a choice to go to heaven or nobody ever told them what they have to do. You know you have people come to church all the time they love God and they'll say stuff like can you pray for me and my fiance in our house? Well if you're not married that's sin. It's called sexual immorality and it's I'm not saying it's your fault. People are raised in homes where the father said I'm never going to get married again. I've been, you know, I'm not doing that. You can't live outside of the Bible. On the flip side when you bring your life into total covenant with God everything you're trying to get through prayer will just start working on its own. It belongs to people that are in the covenant. So I want to ask you like we had you know I didn't preach on alcoholism tonight and a guy watching said help pray that God helps you with alcohol when you sit in meetings like this it kind of stirs up things in you that need to go. God's not making you aware of those things to make you feel bad about yourself. He's telling you get rid of this thing. Some people have one thing left to deal with that's the last blockage. And when you get rid of that it's over and tonight is the night to get rid of sin instead of sin getting rid of you. You're gonna do what we've seen scores of people do these two weeks but it's not enough till you're in we want all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. If you're here and you've never made things right with God at an altar or you once did and you fell away you say Jonathan I don't know that I'm on fire for God. I I actually I might be the fulfillment of what Jesus said where people will get lukewarm before he comes back but I'm not doing that. Tonight I'm coming to the altar and I make a decision the fire will never go out. I'm not gonna be sort of in church I'm gonna be an on fire Holy Ghost filled blood bot soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ if you're here and you've never done that or you once did and fell away I want you to quickly put your hand up and wave it at me if you want me to pray with you tonight I want to pray right now. This is very important I see your hand who else I know there's more I see you who else I want to make tonight this is the night I got right with God yes in the back awesome who else yes who else I know there's more God bless you very quick awesome if you want to come as a couple of friends feel free but everyone that lifted their hand do what the Bible says come out of the crowd and separate yourself and we're gonna pray God's gonna meet you at this altar and you're never gonna be the same go ahead clap for them as they come every hand that was lifted come praise God Praise the Lord praise you Lord keep coming every hand in the back yes yes yes thank you Jesus thank you Jesus awesome for the world today yes awesome kid cut again I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna still be Jesus coming I'm gonna believe the coding of the morning together Jesus is the yes anyone else before we pray Jesus is the way Jesus is the yes all across the front lift both hands to the Lord you made my night now God's gonna make your night and the rest of your life from tonight life won't be anything like it was before tonight say this nice and loud Heavenly Father I admit that I've sinned I repent I believe in my heart you raised Jesus from the dead I confess with my mouth Jesus is Lord and my Savior right now I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus I'm saved I'm forgiven I'm clean in Jesus' name amen thank you for sharing the Jonathan Shuttlesworth podcast if you're interested in supporting our mission to spread the
