We got in. We got in last night at about 1 a.m. from DC. I'm still on West Coast time, but I am high on espresso and the Holy Ghost. So we're going to have a good time this morning. I um, man, I love Pennsylvania. What a privilege to be with you today. I know Pastor is not here, and I love him and his family. Um, but I, you know, I am I have such a history. For those that may not know, um, I lived in Pennsylvania almost seven years. And um I said this in the first service. We showed up, me and my wife, um, we were married a couple years when we moved here, and uh we showed up with zero kids and we left with three. This is the state where there's some in the water, and uh just just kids, just babies, just fertile, fertile ground. I don't know what it is, but it's here. And so three of my kids, there's a couple here on the front row, were born in Pennsylvania, and uh they're very proud of that. And they rock their Eagles slash Steelers gear with pride. Um so I was so I was so honored to get the chance to speak here the very Sunday after um, you know, the the the celebration of our 250th birthday, and I I there's no better place. And tonight we're gonna be in Gettysburg, and it's gonna be wild. Uh, we were in Philadelphia a couple nights ago. Really awesome story I gotta tell you guys about being in Philly. Uh what a wild city. And we've had some some some crazy worship events there. But however, on July 3rd, we had a permit to worship in Philadelphia, and because of the heat and because of all the the crazy stuff that was happening, everything was canceled in downtown Philly except one worship service. That was ours. And so as our team was unloading our gear for soundcheck, it was like 104 degrees or something crazy. Um, of course, the New York Times was there, who we love so much. And so they were documenting everything, you know, and they were like to telling our team, as our team was unloading all of our gear, how come everything in the city is canceled, but you guys don't have your event canceled? And you know, we try we I train up our team really well to deal with the liberal psychotic press. So I said, We we kill them with kindness, we kill them with joy. So they looked at them and they just smiled and they said, We don't cancel worship. This is America, you know. So, but check this out God is funny like this, He just does full circle moments all the time. So we're getting there, we're setting up, it's crazy hot. I'm like, I don't know if anyone's gonna show up, but we're not here for people, we're here for God. We're gonna dedicate this city, we're gonna ring the liberty bell. You know, we we just go hard. I don't know if you know much about let us worship. We don't stop for nothing. Antifa, governors, restrictions. We were the number one COVID violators in 39 states, including this state. And actually, when the pandemic happened, I had spent so much time worshiping across Pennsylvania. I mean, back and forth and back and forth in every county, every major city, years and years, 24-hour worship things, college campuses. I have done so I have poured my guts out in worship across the state. And so when the pandemic happened and, you know, things were shut down, obviously where I live in California, but then I looked to Pennsylvania and I just was like, what are y'all doing? We don't shut down worship in Pennsylvania. And I remember calling my friends, some of my pastors, and I was just like, listen, man, you better open your church. You know, you got to open your church. So we were fighting. We ended up coming to Pennsylvania several times in that season. But the irony of all of this is that July 3rd, the eve before the 250th birthday of America, we're standing in Independence Mall where literally the Declaration of Independence was signed. Okay, this is getting this story, gets really good. Everything's canceled, the parade's canceled, it's all canceled except for our worship service. This guy comes up to me during sound check. We're about to start at 3 p.m. Because the city moved our time back. Whatever. We had a permit for 6 p.m. and they double booked us, and even though they canceled everything, they still made us go at 3 p.m. So it's 105 degrees. Literally, the only people that show up at an event like that are gangsters for Jesus. Right? Just the remnant. We're doing sound check, and all of a sudden, this guy walks up to me. You guys will love this story, and he says, uh, sir, um the governor is requesting if you would just hold off your sound check for a minute. I said, hmm, funny you would say that. The governor of what? They said Pennsylvania. Said he's right there. They pointed to the governor, they were all looking at us. So the governor of Pennsylvania was up there giving a press conference, and he said, Do you think that you can hold off the start of your event and your sound check for the governor to give an address? And I said, Funny you should say that. Is this the same governor that wanted to shut down the church? Are we talking about the same guy? I said, Here, I'll make a deal with you. Tell the governor that he needs to cut his speech really short because at 3 p.m., that liberty bell behind us is gonna go off and ring, and we're gonna start worship. And so literally, our little worship event caused the governor to shorten his speech, and then we kicked into worship, and at the end of his speech on national TV, you can hear us worshiping Jesus. Pretty epic. Um but I just I love I love the season that we're in. I love what God's doing. I want to share with you a message about the viral prayer that changed America. And for all the haters and the doubters and the cynics, America wasn't founded, and God, we we didn't care about God. Let me just, I'm gonna erase all of that here in one minute. And I want to read to you a prayer. And by the way, I'm actually uh coming off a life highlight because yesterday on July 4th, I was on the National Mall leading worship while F-16s were flying over me. I was living a boyhood dream. Only in America, you know, I was like, this is the best birthday of America I've ever experienced. And we were singing, we were worshiping on S-16s and B-52s, and then at the end of the night, I got to show you this picture. Because this to me was so powerful. At the end of the night, during the fireworks, all of those veterans, 102, 104, 107 years old, that the president had brought up there. They said, Mr. President, we don't want to watch the fireworks show from the Washington Monument. We want to watch it from the World War II memorial. And so they wheeled them out and they just stood there and watched the fireworks show. Isn't that incredible? And I want you to look at that picture because there's something about the passing of the baton to the next generation. There's something about the freedom that those men fought for, the faith that those men had that I believe God is provoking us today to grab on to. The viral prayer that changed America. I want to read this to you. I'm gonna read you this whole prayer because it's so good. This is the first Continental Congress. September 7th, 1774. America was not yet a nation. America did not yet have a constitution, America did not have a flag, and America did not have a president. But you know what America had? A prayer meeting. America had a prayer meeting. This was the opening prayer of the first continental Congress. I'm gonna read it to you because it's so powerful. Oh Lord, our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings and Lord of Lords, who dost from thy throne behold all dwellers on earth and reignest with power and supreme, uncontrolled over all kingdoms, empires, and governments. Look down in mercy. We beseech thee on these American states who have fled to thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only to thee. Take that, King George. To thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause, to thee do they now look up for that countenance and support which thou alone canst give. Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under thy nurturing care, give them wisdom and counsel and valor and field, defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries, and convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause. And if they persist in their sanguinary purposes of our own unering justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle. This is intense. Be thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the counsels of this honorable assembly, enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation, that the scene of blood may be speedily closed, that order, harmony, and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety prevail and flourish amongst the people. Preserve the health of their bodies, the vigor of their minds, shower down on them and the millions. They here represent such temporal blessings as thou seest expedient for them in this world, and crown them. Get this, listen to this part. Crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, thy Son and our Savior. This was the opening prayer. Not a prayer prayed at a church conference or a revival meeting or a Christian concert. This was a prayer that opened the first continental congress before America had a constitution. Or a president, or was recognized with their flag around the world, America prayed. And I believe the same thing that America did 250 years ago is what we need to do today. Turn to Psalm 33. I want to read this. They were taking a stand for just whatever they were calling it, and bowing to BLM, and now instead they bow to Jesus. Now instead they're singing country roads. Now instead they're praying intensely at the end of each game to Jesus Christ, and the media is portraying it to the entire world. I want to just say this very clearly. America is a Christian nation. I got a few amens there. Am I in Pennsylvania or where am I right now? America is a Christian nation. And we just gotta start saying it. We just gotta start singing it. We just gotta be radical about it. We gotta be boastful, not in ourselves, but in God. It's his story he's writing. We get to be a part of it. Yesterday, to kick off July 4th, we were radical because this is the only thing that we know. And I got a couple crazy members of Congress. Trust me, I know all the crazy ones now. Those that aren't afraid of the smoke. And I said, let's do something radical. Let's find 50 pastors. And on July 4th, the morning where we celebrate our independence of 250 years, let's go into the Capitol Rotunda and have a holy insurrection. Couple people laughing there. So we walked in yesterday. There's tours everywhere, there's people everywhere, there's massive amounts of people. And we walked in there into the middle of the rotunda. We held hands in a giant circle, and we sang at the top of our lungs, Amazing Grace. Yesterday morning. And of course, the Capitol Police got all stirred up. You're not supposed to sing in there, you're not supposed to worship. And I just looked at him, I'm like, bro, you ain't gonna be able to stop this. And not only was it the 50 pastors that we brought in and the crazy members of Congress, but as we started to sing, all of the tour groups stopped. A lot of them took their earpieces down and they started to sing with us. It went viral yesterday. You can you can look at it on our social media. The song went viral. And I believe that more of those moments are gonna start happening. Our nation was birthed through viral prayers, through viral songs. And it's time for us now more than ever to shout this from the rooftop. So, Psalm 33, verse 10. I want to read this. The Lord foils the plans of nations, he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. The people he chose for his inheritance. The strength of America has never been on the ingenuity of our people, or the power of our military, or our economy, or even how great our Constitution is. I believe that's the greatest document that's ever been created by a government is the U.S. Constitution. But our strength has always been found when we humble ourselves and recognize our dependence upon God. America is not God. America is not even the kingdom of God. But America has been uniquely blessed when our nation has remembered blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. And there's something about that statement. There's something about the leaders of our nation speaking and declaring that truth. In September of 1774, all the colonies were divided. There were different colonies, different backgrounds, different denominations, different opinions. They could not even agree on how to pray. Do you want to know how wild this prayer was? This prayer almost didn't happen. You want to know why? Because they were all divided. Sound familiar? This is like one of the most beautiful times, I believe, in the revival history of America. And I don't think there's been another ministry in our nation that's held more outdoor worship revival meetings than we have over the last six years. Hundreds of them in cities all across America. So I have a really good sense spiritually on what God's been doing. It's been amazing. However, this is also an hour of great division. And in this moment in 1774, the colonies were so divided, so distracted, uh, so uh uh uh, you know, they were fighting, not even just over America and the colonies and the division, all that. They were fighting on if they were gonna allow this guy to pray because, well, he's not from this denomination. We don't know about him, and we don't know his background, and we don't know, we don't like these guys. And it was just like all of this back and forth, whining, conspiracy, suspicion. You know, thank God back then they didn't have YouTube videos. There would have been 20 YouTube videos made about that guy, and should he be the one? And do we trust him? And is his theology sound? And and John Adams gets up there and he goes, guys, shut up. True story. He says, everybody, shut up. He says, We're talking about prayer. If we can't come into unity on having a guy open in prayer, we're cooked. That's what my kids say. We're cooked as a nation. It says, contemporary, it says Samuel Adams shifted the debate, rising during the discussion. He insisted that he could hear a prayer from any gentleman of piety and virtue who is a friend of his country. An argument that reframed the issue of one in unity. So, John Adams, they were all fighting. I don't know if we should let him pray, I don't know if we should have him pray. So John Adams said, Listen, guys, I want to tell you something. We may not agree on all of our theological points or on the way in which we preach or minister or pray or the different colonies, but anybody that's praying to God with a sincere heart, we should listen to him. Thank God that he took a stand because in that moment, as that prayer went forth, I want you to tell to tell you what happened from this prayer that I read. Maybe you have never heard it before, maybe this is the first time that it's ever been spoken in your ears, but I want you to understand that this prayer went absolutely viral across America. This is before TikTok, before Instagram, before X, before social media, before trending. Contemporary letters describe the entire hall as visibly moved. Some delegates wept. Others knelt, and nearly all later wrote home about the extraordinary emotional intensity of the moment. What happened? The presence of God came on that prayer. People were moved. People were arrested with conviction and purpose and power. The prayer was rapidly reprinted across the colonies and became one of the earliest and most influential expressions of American civil religion during the revolutionary era. Within a week, the prayer appeared in more than a dozen colonial newspapers, including the Pennsylvania Gazette, hello, the Connecticut Current, the New England Chronicle, and the Newport Mercury, a Philadelphia broadside titled A Prayer for the Congress circulated widely, and several early pamphlet editions were printed for household devotions. Ministers in New England and the Middle Colonies read the prayer aloud in Sunday services, treating it as a model of patriotic piety. By late 1774, the prayer had become one of the most frequently reprinted devotional texts of the entire year, symbolizing inner colonial unity amid religious diversity. The modern U.S. House of Representatives later identified the prayer as the founding precedent for congressional traditional of opening legislative sessions with public prayer. Isn't this amazing? A prayer that was so fought over it didn't almost happen. And yet when it happened, it went like wildfire. Now I'm so grateful for the history of Pennsylvania. I'm so grateful for the films that are being created. My friend Josh, I was with him the other day, you know, the producer and director of A Great Awakening that was produced right here in Pennsylvania. Come on, you guys seen A Great Awakening? These are the things that we need to remind our children. God has written the story of this nation. We cannot allow secular progressives to redefine what God's already defined. Come on, somebody. We cannot allow the media, the institutions, the secular humanists, the really the demonic, perverted professors to try to re-indoctrinate a generation because I'm telling you, at the first Continental Congress, before any law was signed, before any constitution was made, before any president was elected, they prayed. And how can we, and how should we think that we can move forward as a nation 250 years later in our own strength without prayer? No, this really means a lot to me. I grew up when I was 17 years old. We had a youth group revival on the East Coast. I'm so passionate right now about seeing youth groups and high school set on fire for Jesus. This is the only hope for America. And as a 16, 17-year-old, God lit a fire in my heart for revival to see America turn back to God. We began mobilizing prayer meetings and worship services. It was the other day I was I was with my kids and my family, and we were looking at old high school pictures and old year books, and I found this newspaper article of my first ever newspaper interview as a 17-year-old. I want you to throw it up here. Hampton Roads, the Virginia Pilot, Saturday, September 2nd, 2000. And this is talking about the prayer rally in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall that happened in 2000 called the Call, where over 400,000 people gathered. And I mobilized the whole East Coast of youth groups to attend. So I got interviewed. So they said, right down here, Sean Foyt, 17, a senior in Chesapeake, Virginia, believes the call DC will teach his peers the importance of putting their faith into action. This is what I said, and I quote: the whole vision is to turn people's hearts back to God. The hearts of the fathers back to their sons, and sons to the hearts of their fathers, he said. This is not going to be a big church service. This is going to be the start of a revolution. That's me as a 17-year-old. So there I am yesterday at the mall on the 250th anniversary of our nation. The same ground where the president's going to speak, and I have my guitar and I'm singing, and F-16s are flying over me. And I look down at my kids who are right there taking this all in. And reminding myself that the prayers that I prayed as a 17-year-old are now coming to pass in the next generation. Here's a little throwback pick. This is me and my wife in high school. My wife's on the front row here. We're high school sweethearts, 15 and 16. I was a football player, played quarterback, you know, that kind of thing. But I share that with you because we were marked at that age, and God is now raising up an entirely new generation. Do you know what happened two nights ago in Baltimore? We're in Baltimore. I just want to share with you one story. I have millions of testimonies. But we go into the cities that a lot of y'all don't even want to touch. We go into the bluest of the blue, the darkest of the dark. We go into LA, we go into Antifa zone in Seattle. They know me well. They know one thing about me. I don't back down for nothing. My keyboard player, you know the guy who's going to play with me tonight in Gettysburg at our big event that we're having tonight, which all of you should come to because it's going to be amazing and it'll be inside. Praise Jesus. It's going to be in the big convention center. My keyboard player used to protest me. True story. He used to protest me. He showed up in my events because he was so angry because I wouldn't wear a mask. And I was getting everybody sick, and then he kept coming back, and he kept coming back. And then one day he's like down at the altar. And then a couple weeks later, he's up playing with me. We go into the cities and the hell holes of America that people want to leave because I'm not giving the enemy an inch of territory. The devil doesn't get New York City. The devil doesn't get Los Angeles. The devil doesn't get Chicago. The devil doesn't get Philadelphia. The devil doesn't get DC. He doesn't get Baltimore. And so we're in Baltimore a couple nights ago. And uh, you know, my kids who have grown up in California now forgot what humidity's like. So they got off the plane in Dulles, and they were like, ugh, dad, I can't breathe. I can't breathe. And so we show up in Baltimore. It's a million thousand degrees, 104 degrees. We're downtown Baltimore in the hood. I'm like, on a Thursday night, I'm like, no one's gonna come. This is crazy. But all right, Lord, you called us to do this. Roots of revival. We're rebuilt, redigging the wells. We're gonna worship. So we set up, all of a sudden, massive amounts of young people show up. And you know what? The young people, when they show up, they don't give a rip about the heat. They're not, they're not, you know, I get it, you know, some of the boomers, they got to get into the trees. I get all that, you know. But these young people there out there, like, let me get a sunburn for Jesus, you know. And we're out there worshiping, and the power of God moves so strong, and people want to get baptized. We don't have any water. We don't have our baptismals. We didn't have them on Thursday night, and so we're looking around. There's a fountain across the street. We walk over to the fountain, and I want you to see this video because this is a fresh testimony of what God's doing in America. Go ahead and roll it.
SPEAKER_00Celebrate this moment right now. This is a powerful moment for those that are here. He'll never forget this guy in the fountain.
SPEAKER_01Can we give God some praise? And this is happening in every city. This is happening across America. This is a season of historic revival, but it takes us willing to push in a little bit past uncomfortability, past suspicion, past division, and say, God, we truly want your heart for this hour. I want you to open up to Acts chapter two. I want to read this. The viral prayer that changed America. Twelve years old with piranhas swimming around me. It takes a lot of prayer to get baptized there. This year I've had the privilege to be with the persecuted church in Nigeria, which is the number one persecuted nation in the world. I was with them on a good Friday, I was with them in Easter, Sunday. Over a hundred thousand Christians have been massacred in 2026 in Nigeria. We have a team, our missions team over there right now. They just landed yesterday. I've been in Iraq. I've been in Egypt earlier this year. I've been in nations where it's You're risking your life to go to church, you're risking your life to worship. We've been persecuted, we've been hunted down. We've had leaders that have been killed for their faith. You know what? All of the Christians in those nations they have no hope in their own governments. The Christians in Nigeria, they were begging me, Sean, tell America what is happening. Do not forget us. See, the thing that that makes me so frustrated in the in the pandemic, I was calling on my friends in Pennsylvania because I had so much history here in other states. I'm like, we don't understand what we have. And we're so laissez fair, we're so blah about it. We're so, you know, we're we're we're sometimes fair weather Christians. We're we just kind of we go when it feels good and the the circumstances are right. We're kind of on fire when we like the song. We kind of, you know, in church and the whole spiritual experience becomes all about us, and it's like we've forgotten that the the history of our nation was forged in the fires of revival. Jonathan Wesley and George Whitfield were too radical for England, and they got kicked out of every church in England. That's the only reason they came here. This has always been the nation of the radical Jesus lovers. The whole reason the Great Awakening started was because there were renegades in their own nation. They were kicked out of every denomination, and they came over to America. And God met them. Where? Not in the church, on the streets. George Whitfield, one of the largest uh gatherings of humans in the history of America at that time, was over 15,000 people in downtown Boston. And he preached the word of God. And they weren't concerned about being cool or relevant or politically correct, they were just preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. And in these nations, when I go to, it reminds me that there is no place like America, and I say that not understanding God's full plan because I don't see America in the book of Revelation. So I don't know what happens to us, but I know right now God has given us a gift of freedom and a responsibility to preach the word across the earth. And that fire is not yet extinguished. Can I get an amen? In Acts chapter 2, Peter, and if I get the band out here to play some, the preaching gets better if there's a little bit of you know music behind. So Acts chapter 2, tongues of fire are falling, people are speaking in tongues, it everyone's freaking out, nobody knows what's happening. It's like Holy Ghost chaos, and somebody is looking for definition of what God is doing. And Peter stands up and he says, Let me tell you what is taking place right now. And he speaks these words, which I believe I want to speak today. He says, Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, addressed the crowd. Fellow Jews and all who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you. Listen carefully to what I say. These people are not drunk. I love that. First statement ever made about the New Testament church they're not drunk. Sometimes I feel that when we're doing the crazy things in these cities, you know, it's like we look so outrageous. Like you should have seen us in Philly. It's blazing hot. We're just out there worshiping, singing. People think we're out of our mind. The church needs to get a little bit more like that. Like we need to get rid of the cool church thing. Like we need to be Jesus freaks. We need to have our hearts set on fire. We need to be unafraid. What the world thinks or cares about us. And Peter is saying, Listen, you think that they're drunk. They're not drunk. It's nine in the morning. He says, but what what you're seeing is what was prophesied. What you're seeing right now is what was once declared. And then he brings, he pulls in the Old Testament prophecy of Joel chapter 2. This is the first time we see it in the New Testament. He's pulling in this prophetic promise from the Old Testament over into the New Testament. Joel chapter 2. Every Jew knows that. It's the great promise that there's going to be an outpouring. Every Jew, every every person that goes to synagogue, they grow up reading this verse. At some point, maybe in our lifetime, Joel chapter 2 is gonna happen. In the last days, God will pour out his spirit, thinking their Jews are thinking, I wonder if that's gonna be when I'm alive. And Peter goes, News flash, it's today. And then he reads to them, verse 17, in the last days God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams, even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my spirit in those days and they will prophesy. I will show you wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below. Verse 21, then it says, And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. So Peter goes, What you're experiencing right now is what was prophesied. And I'm here to tell you, as a 17-year-old, I was praying and prophesying that a revolution was going to come to America. The prayers of the saints, many of you in here have been praying way longer than I've even been alive. I look at those World War II vets up there in the wheelchairs. How long have they been praying? How long have they been standing? How long have they been sacrificing? There are one guy who was 107 years old. The president goes, I think you're gonna live another 20 years. Me and my family, over the last month, we've been uh in Montana. We take a month off every year and go to our cabin and just recalibrate as a family. Our life is so crazy. So we get a special time, and and one of the perks for my kids is every Sunday, three Sundays in a row, they get a three-part sermon series from me. And this month, we've been away, we've talked about all the things you could talk about. Heaven, hell. You know, we've talked a lot about hell, like hell is hot and you don't want to go there. We've talked about the end times, what God's doing in the earth, and then all kinds of other issues. Just as a side note, I want to encourage you, parents, if you do not disciple your children, the world will. And you can't, and this is a great church, and there's great programs here, and the the kids' church and the vacation Bible schools and the mission trips, I'm sure they're all amazing, but we need to take it seriously on discipling our children at home in the ways of God. But we were talking about this, and ever since we've started to talk about this, like my daughter is having dreams of Jesus. Visions and dreams of Jesus, and I've been hearing this more and more over the last several months that God is revealing himself in dreams and visions to the next generation. You guys with me? Has anybody in here heard of that? Like he's showing up. I mean, there's people on TikTok going viral talking about last night I had a vision of a man in white. It's like that's Jesus. And it promises us that in the last days that your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. What does this mean? Every single person in the generation is activated. Nobody's in retirement mode. Nobody is hiding in the bunker because they're afraid of the end times. Just a quick word to you guys. You think it's crazy right now? It's about to get a whole lot crazier. Well, we're just gonna wait for the COVID thing to pass and this to pass and this to pass. No, those were all just tests. There's another test coming, there's a bigger test coming. The devil has his plans and his schemes, governments have their plans and schemes, the powers of the earth have his plans and schemes, but nothing will stand against the kingdom of God. The people of God will rise up with boldness. We will not back down, we will not be afraid, we will not cower in fear. And you know what? We smile at the New York Times reporter, and we say that's a funny question. We don't cancel worship, we worship anyways. Well, it's 100 million degrees, so well, everything else is canceled, so we don't go along to the rules of the world. We're we're from another dimension. Proverbs 13, 22, says this. The inheritance that we must impart and leave to the next generation is one of revival. I love fireworks, I love F-16s, I love bald eagles. But unless we have another wave of revival in our nation, we will not sustain the next 250 years. Unless we have more viral prayers, unless we have more crazy 17-year-olds, unless we have more junior high students that get caught with fire, unless we have baptisms in the streets, unless we have people that go to the nations, unless we have men and women who refuse the luxuries and the comforts of hiding away and saying, I'm gonna engage in the next generation. And so I'm calling all of you here today that just as our founding came from a viral prayer, I am praying today that what I release over you, I'm praying that it will activate something. I know God sent us here for a reason. I know God sent me here to declare something over you. I know today that God sent me here before we go to Gettysburg. Tonight we're gonna be in Gettysburg, the the city where unity came in a moment after a battle and brought a nation together. We're gonna be worshiping in the same ground where Abe Lincoln, my friend Senator Doug Mastriano, is gonna be there with us, telling us the history, reminding us again that Abe Lincoln was pacing back and forth on the hillside, praying to God, how can you end this conflict and bring a nation into unity? That's the same city that we're gonna be worshiping in tonight, asking for God another dimension of unity on the Church of America in this hour. So I'd love for you guys to come at 6 p.m. Also, one last thing, I have a new book out on spiritual warfare. I'm really bad at like pushing stuff, but I I feel this is a mandate. The Lord told me to write and train up a generation on the understandings and the importance of the spiritual realm. And I think that sometimes it takes a lot to wake us up to where we realize, hey, there is a whole world out here that we're called to engage with. And so I wrote a book on it. I had no idea that I was actually gonna live through it. My wife was like, can you please finish the book so we don't have to live through this spiritual warfare? But I have it in the back. I'd love to sign a copy if you want it and and and equip you. But this is what I want to do. If you're in here, could you just lift your hand up like this? I want to pray. And there's something about us lifting our hand. Before independence ever came from England, dependence came on God. Come on, somebody. We pledged our dependence on God, we pledged our families independence on God, our finances, our work, our churches, our businesses, our homes. We pledge dependence on God. Without Him we are nothing as a nation, without Him we are nothing as a people. So I just want you to sing this with me, and then I want to pray over you. In our God reigns. Forever your kingdom reigns. Come on, just say that. Our God reigns. Come on, declare that. In our God reigns. Yeah, it's beautiful. Our God reigns Forever your kingdom reigns. Come on, just lift it up, come on a little louder, come on, sing it with me. Forever your king of Come on one more time, come on, every voice. Today we just place our dependency on you as a people, as a nation. Lord, I pray today, God, Lord, that you would provoke our hearts to begin to pray dangerous prayers again. I pray today, God, that we wouldn't just celebrate, God, uh a birthday anniversary of a nation, but Lord, today, God, that we would celebrate how you're moving across our nation with revival. Lord, I pray from this moment, God, that something would shift in the hearts of every person here that may be apathetic, Lord, that maybe they've had a hard season, maybe they're coming out of discouragement or depression, or they've been battling difficult circumstances. Lord, today I ask that hope would rise in their heart. I ask for every person here that hasn't fully surrendered to the call of God on their life, God, that this would be the day where they say, Send me, Lord, and I will go. Right now, if you're in here, just want to take a minute. If you're in here and you haven't fully surrendered to the voice of the Lord, I just want you to be really, really bold. I want you just to lift your hand up. Come on, if that's you. Anyone in here? Come on, this is a great day. Come on, this is a great day. Come on, let's let's give a hand clap for those that are lifting their hands. Come on, if that's you, come on, lift it up. And I want every person in here to pray this with me. Come on, keep your hand up if that's you. I want every person in here to pray this together with me. Say, King Jesus, come on louder. Say King Jesus, today I commit my everything to you. I repent, I'm gonna say it again. I repent for my wickedness, for my sin. And I say today, I'm going after you with everything I have. Nothing is gonna hold me back. Say, today I make you the leader over my life. I submit to you, King Jesus. Amen.
