And now here is Evangelist Jonathan.
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.399
Speaking of Toronto, this is uh so let me tell you what happened.
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.559
I was kind of like with all these churches.
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.000
None of them were planned.
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:23.359
And uh th thanks for you.
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:24.160
You guys don't have to stand.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:28.399
I don't have to pray for people's varicose veins for having to stand through a two-hour sermon.
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:39.920
Um you you uh I started in Pittsburgh, never at never wanted to have a church and uh never thought I'd have a church.
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.880
I'm gonna I've been an evangelist since I got out of Bible college, May 10th, 2002.
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.039
This is year 25 for me.
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:48.719
And uh that was all I was gonna do.
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.320
That's all my dad's ever done.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:58.719
Evangelism's full-time work, and anytime I saw an evangelist trying to take a church, it failed.
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.320
And then the evangelistic ministry had failed, because you can't do both.
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:10.879
And then I had the Lord speak to me on December 31st, 2020 to uh build a strong, build me a strong church in this city, which was Pittsburgh.
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.280
And uh we went to it, and when we started to do that, we needed a building and we had one.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:25.599
It was gonna cost 1.6 million to renovate it, but then the price of steel tripled during COVID and it went from 1.6 to 6.1.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.079
I had 1.6, I didn't have 6.1.
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.400
And I didn't, and then the building was too small anyway.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.840
I thought we'd have 60 to 80 people register like a normal church plant.
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.239
And instead we started to have hundreds sign up because churches kept reclosing and it got all weird, if you remember.
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:52.640
So uh then we had this most supernatural thing happen, which was uh my wife and her twin sister were praying in the spirit and drove by a building by the airport.
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.359
It's a$5.3 million office building, and they got like a feeling in their spirit about it.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:05.599
So they asked them, they asked our pastor Sammy Valez to go write the number down on the for sale site and uh call and inquire.
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.080
So he went to go write the number down at the property, and a lady came out and said, Are you interested in buying this building?
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:17.280
Well, you know, he's he's the associate pastor, he didn't have the ability to commit, and you don't want to do that anyway.
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.120
So he just kind of stammered.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.080
And then she said, Uh, what do you people do?
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:23.599
He said, We're a church.
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.960
Normally that makes the conversation end abruptly.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:32.000
And she folded her hands like this and looked up and said, This is an answer to prayer.
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:33.680
Don't get banks involved.
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.159
Meet with me and my husband, and let's just talk.
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.759
And uh I I I feel like I just prayed that God would help me unload this building today.
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.919
So then they met with them on Monday, and the husband asked a bunch of questions.
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.879
Then he said, How much does it say you would owe for a down payment today?
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.879
They said, 550,000.
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.520
He said, Keep it and just send me, give me 10,000 a month for three years.
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.560
That's 360,000 on a$5.3 million building right next to the airport.
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:01.599
And then it got better.
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.039
It would say it gets better.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:14.479
December, uh uh at Christmas time, the own the husband walked in with all three of our checks on cash and the deed to the property and handed it to us and said, I like what you people are doing.
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:16.800
The church belongs, the building belongs to you.
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.680
So it was it was free, uh, 5.3 million.
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:20.639
That's God.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:32.960
Well, I grew up, I don't know how you grew up, but the way I grew up, whatever church you attended, they're likely still in that same building that from when you were a kid.
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.199
Anybody anybody in the church you went to before this is in the same building they were in when you were a kid attending?
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.319
Now, I you know, it which I'm not criticizing, but that's all I expected to do.
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.800
I had a big office on the top floor.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.039
I was gonna stay there and have like lunch with my family, like normal people.
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.199
I was looking forward to having like somewhat of a normal life.
00:03:53.439 --> 00:04:00.240
And then I was down here to be interviewed on Daystar with the Dallas in 2023.
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:07.120
And I just got um, there's a scripture, as many as are led by the Spirit, they are the sons and daughters of God.
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:12.560
So the Holy Spirit leads you differently than your mind leads you.
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.360
So I was gonna take my wife out for dinner and go shopping and just enjoy Dallas.
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:30.160
And then something on the inside of me, I just thought, to kind of go against the celebrity Christianity incorporated type of preacher, I thought, no, I'm not gonna record TV and then just hang out.
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.000
If I flew down here and I'm here, let's put something out on Instagram.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.839
And if anybody wants to come and uh let's have a meeting.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:38.879
People need prayer.
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.360
Jesus would minister to people, I'm gonna do that instead.
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.079
So I went, that's where I met Russell Johnson.
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.360
He came to the meeting that night.
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.720
I'd never met him before.
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.920
And then when people left, how many of you were in that first meeting in March 2023, whenever it was?
00:04:52.399 --> 00:05:05.040
When people started to leave out the back door, I just I don't know how to describe it, and I know I'm not looking to sound kooky or weird, uh, but that's probably only gonna last about 20 minutes.
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.240
So then I just started to feel a feeling on the inside of me for the people like something more should be done.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:18.079
And uh I didn't know what to do because I I didn't feel like I could do anymore.
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:26.959
And um I I flew home and my uncle Ted called me, who's a prophet, and he said, What did you think about your Fort Worth meeting?
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.480
I said, What do you think about it?
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.759
Anytime people like that ask me a question, I just ask them because you're gonna end up saying something stupid and get corrected.
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.000
So I said, I said, What did you think about it?
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.480
He said, I I think you should keep it going.
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.240
He said, I feel like God wants something done permanently down there.
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:45.839
I said, I felt the same thing, but I don't, I can't do it.
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.600
I live in Pittsburgh, I don't feel to move and shut the church down, so I I don't know what to do.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:06:08.399
He said, Well, what I would do is I would keep doing a monthly meeting, and if nothing comes out of it out of a year, then you can tell the Lord, you gave me a burden, I did what I could, and nothing came out of it, and so I've alleviated myself from the building or from the burden.
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:09.199
We hung up.
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:15.040
Literally, Bob Nichols, who went home to be with the Lord last year, he called me next and said the exact same thing.
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:16.319
They hadn't talked.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.959
What did you think about that Fort Worth meeting?
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.360
I said, What did you what do you think about it?
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.120
He said, You should keep coming.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.160
He said, God wants to do something here, and so uh I told him, I told him the same thing.
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.800
He said, he said, just go right, just see what comes out of it.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:40.319
So I started coming every month, and then I think it was July that when I woke up in Florida on that Friday to fly here to go to that, what was the name of that theater we used to go to?
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:41.120
Ridgeley.
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:42.560
The Ridgeley Theater.
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:55.920
I got ready to fly, and I'm telling you, when I woke up in the morning, I felt so strongly that the time was now to to to announce a church that I just messaged our media team and said, get a video together.
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.959
I'm announcing that we're starting a church on whatever date.
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.360
I picked a Sunday, like like, what was it, 90 days out, something like that?
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.600
My wife literally found out watching the broadcast that night.
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:11.199
And so I had about 13 missed calls by the time I went back to my car.
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.120
And then she wanted to know, are we moving to pitch, are we moving to Texas or what's going on?
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.199
I said, No, I don't think we are moving to Texas, which I have people ask me that sometimes.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:20.160
Are you moving to Arizona?
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.360
Are you gonna move to California?
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.759
At this point, what difference would it make where I live?
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.680
I'm there about 30 hours a week, so it just doesn't matter.
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:34.160
So uh anyway, then this is isn't the worst building to be meeting in for a church plant.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:44.800
We broke a thousand in October, uh uh the one-year anniversary, and then I was more than happy to have two churches, Pittsburgh, there's two more than I wanted.
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.720
Then prayer and fasting.
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:47.680
Prayer and fasting.
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.079
If you want a normal life, don't pray and fast.
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:51.920
It messes things up.
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.519
And uh we were coming to the end of that time of prayer and fasting.
00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:02.160
And you remember I said that was when the West Coast was still messed up, coming out of COVID, and churches were messed up.
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.720
And I felt, which I don't feel that way.
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.639
I don't feel like I'm the solution to life's problems at all.
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.600
I more felt like I'm glad I don't live on the West Coast.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.199
That's what you that's what you people get.
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.240
I'm not getting involved.
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.360
I'm glad I'm in Pennsylvania and Texas, where people have sense.
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.079
Please edit this out after the service is over.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:30.000
So at the end of that prayer and fasting with nine days left, the Lord said, I want you to go and do a West Coast tour and uh and do four or five cities, whatever we did.
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.759
Well, we did the LA one.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.240
I booked the Sheraton at the airport and uh never had really preached out there.
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.720
And I went there and uh that place was jammed.
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.080
510 people in a 450-seater, I think.
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.120
I don't know where they came from because nobody's been getting prayer or anything.
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.679
People brought their parents that had cancer and stuff.
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:58.480
And the same, I was happy, went out on a high, and then as the people are going through the door, I felt the exact same thing I felt in Fort Worth.
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.519
There's something more that needs done for these people.
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.120
And I thought, I yeah, yeah, I don't know what you want me to do.
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.840
There's a scripture that I sh I had memorized, but I should have known it better.
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:16.240
To he who uses well what he's been given, he'll be given even more and have an abundance.
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:22.240
Bishop Doug Haywood Mills said, in the kingdom the reward for good work is more work.
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:29.440
Then it as God opens more doors, he increases your capacity to do the bigger things that he gives you to do.
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:30.720
Can you say amen?
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.039
So I was obedient to that.
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.559
Can you find a scripture for me?
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:43.200
It's in the book of Acts when Paul's on trial for preaching, and every time they put him on trial for preaching, he preached at the trial and did the exact thing they were arresting him for.
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:44.559
Find the scripture.
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.919
I was not disobedient, oh Agrippa, to the heavenly vision.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.159
I think it's in Acts 20, but I could be wrong.
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.200
I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:58.879
So when I felt that California thing, uh, then you get more confirmation.
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.159
The man is Everett that gave us our plane here.
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:03.519
This will be the third time.
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.879
Can you stick if you ever heard me the man that gave us our jets?
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.639
Him and his wife are sitting in the front row.
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.919
Stand up so everybody can see you, because they have done a great thing for the Lord.
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.519
Appreciate you.
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.240
I want to say thank you.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:25.039
My own dad gave me a 1990 Chevy Lumina.
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:27.840
So I want to say thanks.
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.759
So he he called me about that time, not knowing any of that.
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:36.960
This is the second, third time we've ever met in person, and the first time since 2023, correct?
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:38.639
So we didn't talk.
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.720
I don't, I don't share what I'm doing with anybody except God.
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:49.120
I refuse to be, I made a covenant with God when I was 21 that I'm not gonna call anybody to preach.
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.279
I'm gonna have a conversation with you, and you called me, and you opened the doors.
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.559
I'm not gonna be a well-dressed beggar that travels around asking people for money and buildings and help.
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.720
I despise that type of ministry.
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.080
Jesus never did it.
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:09.440
And when Jesus sent the disciples out, he said, Don't take purse or script or shoes and greet no man along the way.
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.759
Everybody say, Greet no man along the way.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.320
What that was is don't tell anybody I sent you out without purse or script or shoes.
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.000
Just go do what I tell you to do.
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:25.279
Then in Luke 22, 35, he said, When I sent you out without purse or script or shoes, did you lack anything?
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.559
And they said no.
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:32.480
And then he said, From now on, you can take take it take a coat, take, take a sword, take a traveler's bag.
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:39.120
But I want to show you that when you go out on a mission for me, it's not, you're not sent by people to people.
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:47.200
As a minister, you're sent by God to the people, and God is the one responsible to supply all your needs according to his riches and glory.
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.799
Can you say amen?
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.639
And so uh uh my friend Jeff's sitting in the front row.
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.519
He raises millions of dollars for multiple ministries.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.639
We talk all the time.
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.720
He always will say, out of habit, with the other people he talked to, anything I can do for you.
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:07.600
Ask him if I've ever asked one time if there's anything he can do for me, or uh, you know, I could really use uh some money.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.720
God will test you.
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:09.759
Let me see Jeremiah.
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.200
First, what the I might as well read the first scripture I had you look up.
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.039
Acts, Acts, uh, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:20.480
Okay?
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.879
Go to Jeremiah 17, 5 then.
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:25.919
There it is.
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.440
And so King Agrippa, do King James.
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:32.320
Do about three verses back.
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:33.759
Acts 26, 16.
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:38.799
It's amazing how Paul's on trial with a pagan king and talking to him like he's a fellow preacher.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:54.879
I saw a vision, but rise, stand upon thy feet, for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness, both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in which I will appear unto thee.
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.279
Go back, go back to the line before.
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:02.559
This is a concept that older preachers like that's why me and Bob Nichols got along.
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.039
Because most people don't understand this now.
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.960
They think they're sent by the Southern Baptist Church or the assemblies of God.
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.600
Ministry is a divine call.
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.960
And if God is not backing you, you're finished.
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:22.159
But if God backs you, then you start to see the fulfillment of I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.519
Can you say amen?
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:38.480
But the voice said to me, But rise, stand upon thy feet, for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness, both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things which I will appear unto thee.
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.120
17.
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:51.840
Delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan.
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.639
Everybody say from the power of Satan to the power of God.
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.519
Don't short sell salvation.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.679
Salvation's not your name's in the book of life, and you and Jesus are going to do life together.
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.759
People without Christ are under the power of darkness.
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:14.720
However, it manifests cocaine, alcohol addiction, crippling depression, it Satan is their master.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:27.600
And when you get saved, the blood of Jesus shatters the control of the devil and transfers you out of the power of Satan and into the power of God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins.
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.320
19.
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.039
Whereupon, O King Agrippa, I mean that's a powerful verse.
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:44.399
At a Bible college instructor who was an evangelist and he was in his 80s, and that's what he wrote in my yearbook.
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:51.519
He said, When you're when you stand before God, make sure you're able to say, like Paul did, I was not unfaithful to the heavenly vision.
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.279
I did what you told me to do.
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.240
And so that that verse is always in my mind.
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.360
Paul said, I was not disobedient to what the Lord showed me.
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:06.320
So it's not my job to figure out how Pittsburgh's gonna work, uh Texas gonna work, California's gonna work.
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:12.720
If I feel it, it's my job to say yes, and then it's God's problem to make every crooked way straight.
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:14.000
Can you say amen?
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:20.320
You know, when we play miracles on the screen, everything I'm trying to get people to understand there's a God.
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.879
You don't have to beg on Facebook, you don't have to get mad that your mom didn't help you with college like she said she was gonna do.
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.320
You can call on God.
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.039
God said, Call on me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not.
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:36.320
Can you say amen?
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.519
Let me see Jeremiah 17, 5.
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.600
Jeremiah 17, 5.
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:57.200
Thus saith the Lord, cursed is the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:08.559
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit a parched place in the wilderness in a dry and salty land.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.960
Seven, but blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord.
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:21.679
Hallelujah! But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:37.360
Eight, for he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green, and shall not be careful in the year of drought.
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:38.159
I like that.
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:48.080
Shall not be careful in the year of drought, which means when other people are taking precautionary measures.
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:57.679
I was in Toronto and the the gas station looked like the gas stations like in Congo or different places in Africa that I've been, where it's lines down the street.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.679
I said, Is there some kind of impending meteor attack or something that I missed while I've been preaching?
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.160
They said, no, because of the oil getting kind of situated in the Middle East.
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:09.119
It's dropped.
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:14.319
And you know, in Canada they're paying like$8 a gallon and it now dropped to like uh$580.
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.000
So everybody's getting, see, they feel it.
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:16.559
They're careful.
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.240
Gas drop, better fill up now.
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.559
You know, it's not gonna last you a week anyway.
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:26.880
But the Bible says when your trust is in the Lord, you don't feel drought, you don't feel famine.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.720
When other people are shutting down, you're making plans to multiply.
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.319
That's gonna be the story of you in this church today.
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.480
You won't feel what goes on in the world.
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.599
You live in this world, but you're not of this world.
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:44.319
You're a child of the Most High God, and your confidence is in him.
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:51.119
Shall not be careful in the year of drought.
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.759
Neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.880
Is there more?
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:55.920
Yeah, no.
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.440
Nine starts to get depressing.
00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.480
Go back to eight.
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:01.599
Neither shall cease.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.599
Everybody say I'll never cease.
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.680
Yielding fruit.
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:08.400
I don't know if I have the right reference here, but let me try it.
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:10.079
Go to Luke 13, 6.
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.240
You can do NLT if you want.
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:13.039
If you have it.
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:14.319
Luke 13, 6.
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:15.759
If I have the right place.
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.000
He also spoke this parable.
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:35.279
A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.559
Now think of that.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.640
The man is God the Father.
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:40.480
He had a tree, the tree's us.
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.559
And he came seeing what fruit it bore, but never found any.
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.359
So what do he said?
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.200
Well, we all bear fruit differently.
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.559
Oh, look at seven.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:51.359
He was always disappointed.
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:52.559
Oh, go back to six.
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.160
I kind of broke that one up weird.
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:55.039
Disappointed.
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:56.480
Luke 13, 6.
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:58.240
Go back one.
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.359
He always came to see if there was fruit on it, but he was always disappointed.
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:06.319
Seven.
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:13.839
Finally, he said to his gardener, I've waited three years and there hasn't been a single fig.
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:15.440
Cut it down.
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.079
It's just taking up space in my garden.
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:19.839
Then Jesus kind of intervenes.
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:23.039
The gardener answered, sir, give it one more chance.
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.240
Leave it another year.
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:29.200
In the King James, it says, I'll dig around it and give extra dung or fertilizer to it.
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:32.319
I'll give special attention and plenty of fertilizer.
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.599
And then I think it goes to another one.
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.240
If we get figs next year, fine.
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.400
But if not, cut it down.
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.759
Fruitlessness is a risk as a Christian.
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:47.279
Now you should be able to read that as an adult without putting pressure or getting into condemnation.
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.759
You don't get to heaven because you bear fruit.
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.839
I'm not trying to get Jesus to love me more by having more churches.
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:58.480
But because he died for me and I can't do anything to pay him back.
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.759
And the only thing he asked in return, what do you say to Peter?
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.440
Peter, do you love me?
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:04.000
Yes.
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.200
Then do what?
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:06.799
Feed my sheep.
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.799
What I'm doing today is an expression of love for God.
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.319
I can't buy him gifts.
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.480
I can't take him to North Neiman Marcus.
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.400
I can't take him to the North Park Mall.
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:17.119
I can't take him.
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:18.400
Where's that other nice place?
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:20.000
Highland, Highland Park?
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:20.480
Yeah.
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:21.599
Highland Park.
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:22.799
If I could, I would.
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:28.000
I would take Jesus to the Etro store in Highland Park and say, knock yourself out till I'm out of money.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.319
I'd get him every but I can't do any of those things.
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:31.680
But that's not what he wants.
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:38.079
You you love me, then go go, A, go get the freshest fruit of the earth.
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.759
I didn't die for Christians, I died for everybody.
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:43.920
But Satan has them under his power.
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:50.240
Preach the gospel, break the hold on them, and deliver men and women out of his grip and lay them at my feet.
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.599
And then once they're broken out, feed them.
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.200
Minister the word to them, strengthen them.
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.599
Paul said, I long to the church in Rome.
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:07.039
I long to be with you that I may share some spiritual gift impartation to you, that the end you may be established.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.240
Paul didn't sit in one place, he had awesome meetings.
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.519
He could have camped out in Ephesus for the rest of his life.
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:15.680
He blew the city up with the gospel.
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:20.160
The second it got moving, he put men in charge and went to the next place.
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:23.039
The Bible, and I want to throw this in while I'm at it.
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.440
What separates Canada and America?
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.200
Why is Canada struggling?
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:30.960
Where they're going to outlaw public prayer, outlaw scripture reading.
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:36.079
And then here, America's having an all-time revival in the 1980s.
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:41.279
In the 1980s, 45% of Canadians went to church at least once a month.
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.039
It's down to 8% now.
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:46.799
And now in America, it's at the highest level it's ever been.
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:50.880
17% of people went to church during the Revolutionary War.
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.920
It's at 47% right now.
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:54.799
Why?
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.079
Why?
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:57.359
Same continent?
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:58.960
Basically, same people.
00:21:59.119 --> 00:21:59.759
One group.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:01.279
Went soft.
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.319
No planning of churches, no movement.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.279
One denominational leader that's 80 years old.
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:14.880
I said, when's the last time there's been a stadium-wide or arena evangelistic event to reach the lost?
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.200
He said it's been at least since the 70s.
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.400
The church that stops aggressively punching Satan in the mouth.
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.400
You don't just lose your church, you begin to lose the country.
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.039
You are the salt of the earth.
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:31.279
You are the light of the world.
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:35.920
But Jesus said, What good is salt if it loses its savor?
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:37.680
How can you make it salty again?
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.200
So the devil's plan is to make you a normal pastor.
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.680
A normal, you don't say anything that offends anybody.
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:47.680
Most preachers go through live stream today before anything they say.
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.200
I'm gonna say something.
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:51.200
It might offend some people.
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:52.160
So what?
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:54.640
Might step on some toes.
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:59.119
Many people need their toes broken, not stepped on.
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:00.240
They're comfortable.
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:15.440
Preaching is supposed to like arouse something in people, awaken their spirit that there's more, that there's a God who's holy, who loves you, who carries power, and you can reach up and touch his hand, and your life will never be the same.
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:28.960
So, Ray, one of the time I went to California was when uh uh Brother Everett said, I I want to upgrade you from a Falcon 50, which has shorter range and wouldn't be able to get to California without refueling.
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.000
Maybe it could.
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:36.640
But I want to I want to upgrade you to a Falcon 900, and uh that can do that can do over there and back much better.
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:38.799
He didn't even know I was like going over there.
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:40.079
I said, All right.
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:48.400
And then we went over and I did a Saturday night, and I announced that we're gonna start Revival Today Church, California, and I didn't know how.
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:54.160
And then when I flew from California to here to do church in the morning, we landed at 4 40 in the morning.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:58.240
I woke up when the wheels hit the ground and I felt fresh as a daisy.
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.279
And the Lord spoke to me, can you do that every night?
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.720
Every weekend?
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.920
I said, Yeah.
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.839
You know, preach Saturday night, sleep on the plane, and then preach in the morning.
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.839
And people said, Man, I don't know how you do it.
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.519
I don't have to make it till 10 p.m.
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.039
I have to make it till 1 p.m.
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:17.920
And then I can collapse like Rambo at the end of Rambo one on a sidewalk somewhere.
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.160
So, can you do that?
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:21.279
Yes, I can.
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:22.319
Just do that.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:32.319
That's when we started Saturday nights in California, and then Sunday here in Pittsburgh, and then I'd fly over Arizona every week and wake and it's all black.
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:38.240
And then you see all these diamonds, like somebody dropped a bunch of diamonds on a velvet couch and it was Phoenix.
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:39.759
And I felt the Lord speak to me.
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:40.880
There's people there waiting for you.
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:42.000
So I thought, yeah, okay.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.319
In another two or three years, we'll look into doing something.
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:46.480
Next week, there's people there waiting for you.
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:48.559
Third week, there's people there waiting for you.
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:50.160
Fourth week, so strong.
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:53.920
I didn't want to, I didn't want to know what it would feel like to wait another week.
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:58.240
And so that Saturday night with Pastor Kofi on the front row.
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.599
I said, Revival Today Church Arizona starts next Saturday morning.
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:06.160
I thought about Spanish Catholics and uh our Jewish friends that meet Saturday morning.
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:11.599
I thought, well, I'm already on the West Coast for Saturday night for Texas, why not just stop over and do Saturday morning?
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:18.319
When I said it starts next week, you know, everybody claps, but they don't have to do the the details, and neither do I.
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.079
I saw Pastor Kofi go like this, like Kevin from Home Alone.
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:29.519
No soft launch, no interest meeting, and I hadn't preached there.
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:31.680
I preached there one time in 2012.
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:32.400
That's it.
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:33.200
Nobody.
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:35.680
So we go the next week, got a venue.
00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:36.480
Check this out.
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:38.480
It was a supernatural.
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:42.000
We had 183 people on the opening service.
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:46.480
We had six ushers that were from there, we had a media team from there.
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:54.000
I mean, it was insane that God see, the more you do this, the more you realize how holy this is.
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.359
That Jesus didn't say, try to build me a church.
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:01.279
Jesus said, I will build my church.
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:17.759
And so one old preacher that has started nine uh 19,000 churches in 190 uh countries, Pastor Enoch Adaboy, he said, if you do what the Holy Spirit tells you to do, you will never build anything for God, you'll watch God build for you.
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.839
And so I'm telling you a little bit.
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:22.240
This church is what, two years old now?
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:23.279
Is it two?
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:25.200
Two years old.
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:27.599
I'm showing you what you're a part of.
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:29.119
I wanted to take a Sunday.
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:32.079
I'm not just rambling, I'm telling you what we're doing.
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.400
Because we're now four and a half years in.
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:38.559
We have a strong church in Pittsburgh, we have a very strong church in Fort Worth.
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:47.279
Kofi's cracking 400 now in a year and two months in California, and TJ had more people than I had in Phoenix, 224.
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:54.799
Actually, the church that we're running in in Phoenix had to knock out their back wall to accommodate our crowd in less than a year.
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:59.119
And so then, Toronto, that'll be five churches in four and a half years.
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.720
I'm gonna tell you something, like you've experienced if you've been coming here.
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.000
Anyone can get up on Sunday and say we need to win the world for Christ.
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:14.960
America needs God, this world needs God, but there's a different power when you allow God to give you a plan to actually take the world for God.
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:22.559
We are gonna we have done great things by the grace of God, but together the best is not behind us, the best is yet to come.
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:32.720
I believe today God is pouring a fresh anointing in Pittsburgh and in Texas to make the devil sorry, he didn't take you out when he had the chance.
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:37.119
Can you say amen?
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:39.279
So there was four.
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:44.079
Then I had two ladies, uh, one's named Rose and one's named Drea.
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:47.359
They're always on the broadcast we do in the week.
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:51.200
So they wrote, um, any plans on coming to Toronto?
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.599
Then the second one, any plans on coming to Toronto?
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.319
And I got ready to tell them what I'm happy to tell anybody.
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.319
I don't have any invitations there, so pray that God speaks to some pastor's heart.
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.440
I have no desire.
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:13.519
That's why I know Canada is completely spirit-led because I have no desire to get involved in the I get up, excuse your words carefully, people tell me.
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:21.519
The complete mess that is the Canadian church situation that's gone from 45% to 8%.
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.720
And there's a bill called Bill C9 right now to criminalize public prayer.
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:39.519
You go to jail, and if you read Romans chapter 1 or any scripture that the LGBTQIA 2S plus community finds offensive, it's automatic 20 years in prison to start.
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:42.240
When I heard that on the news, you know what my thought was?
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:43.440
Not well, I'm gonna go.
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:46.000
Thank God I'm in the good old US of A.
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:48.720
You people blew it, figure it out yourself.
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:55.599
And so when I when those two women wrote that and I got ready to tell them, I'm not coming to Canada, and the one said, Go, go to Toronto.
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:57.039
Now, think of this.
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:05.839
When I went to Phoenix on that first Sunday, the hotel manager, we rented a ballroom, the hotel manager was standing at the back, a lady with her name tag.
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:09.759
So I went back to say hi at the end of the service just to kind of keep the peace.
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.240
You know, I've seen like other pastors shake hands with people and stuff.
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.599
I said, why not?
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.640
Why not why not let her know I'm thankful to use the ballroom and everything?
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:19.680
And I said, Hey, I wanted to say thanks for letting us use your ballroom.
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.519
She said, You don't have to thank me.
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.119
I came in here to thank you.
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.839
I said, uh, explain.
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:28.799
She said, during COVID, I got COVID.
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.319
My lungs locked up.
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.000
I was in the ICU, and they told me I probably wasn't gonna make it.
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:40.400
So I went on YouTube and searched faith miracles healing, because I knew that's what I needed.
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:41.599
And you popped up.
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:43.279
And I started watching you.
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:47.119
And she said, I brought a copy of the email from 2022.
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:48.880
Would Jonathan, I got healed.
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:51.839
She said, Would Jonathan ever start a church in Phoenix?
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.519
Back then, I didn't even have one in Pittsburgh.
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.400
They said, No, he's not a pastor, he's an evangelist.
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:03.039
And so she said, I kept praying that you would start a church here because I needed to be in meetings like that.
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:11.279
And she said, I got my sheet to set up last night, and it told who was using the ballroom, and I was setting up for the very church that I prayed.
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.640
God didn't just bring it to her city, he brought it to her ballroom.
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:21.039
I'm telling you, God doesn't move randomly, he moves in desire with your hunger and thirst.
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:24.799
And I pray a hunger and a thirst begins to grow in you today.
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.839
Where you are now is not where you're gonna stay.
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:31.039
God has greater for you, God has more for you.
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.599
So there was number four, and then Toronto.
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:42.079
Uh, I called a meeting on eight days' notice for a 300-seat venue.
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.640
You know, Canada has hardly anybody left that goes to church.
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.279
You're like starting a church in Belgium or England.
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:49.200
There's there's it's gone.
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:51.279
You basically have to start from scratch.
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.880
Northern Ireland has less than 2% of the population that goes to church.
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:58.160
United Arab Emirates has 14% go to church.
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:07.519
The nations that sent the gospel all over the world, the churches are empty, and to look politically correct, they're giving them to mosques to be mosques.
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:12.720
You got the Pope on a tour going to mosque saying, I've never felt the presence of God like this.
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:16.960
The Bible says there's gonna be a two-lane highway in the last days.
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:21.759
There's gonna be many that used to be on fire for God that depart from the faith.
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:28.079
But there's gonna be another highway of people that catch the fire and are gonna do more in one lifetime.
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:33.359
Jesus is not coming back for a weak, defeated, broken down church.
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:39.599
He's coming back for a glorious, victorious, multiplying church.
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:46.079
Can you say amen?
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:52.640
Tessa, can you get um the lady that's got the spikes on her hat from the Philadelphia Crusade?
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:54.559
I want to shoot, you know why.
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:58.559
What's behind the passion to multiply?
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.079
What's the first command God gave man?
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:10.559
Don't commit adultery, don't smoke weed, don't get drunk, and this is not a pro-adultery, pro-weed, pro-alcohol service.
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.680
But his first command was not a negative command.
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:28.400
He he blessed them and told them, be and be fruitful, bear people getting saved are fruit.
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:33.440
People getting healed are fruit because the miracles testify to the resurrection of Christ.
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:39.279
You are ordained when you do when you don't know the Lord, the Bible says it's like you have a basket with holes in it.
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:42.559
You not only don't bear fruit, you can't retain anything you have.
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.640
Watch Judge Judah, you'll be suing your mom for a couch or whatever.
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:50.319
But when you get saved, God doesn't only write your name in heaven.
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:51.599
We read it in Jeremiah.
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:59.440
With the blessed is the man, blessed in the amplified, fortunate, happy to be envied.
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:03.119
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord.
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.039
Everybody say so the devil can hear you.
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:05.920
That's me.
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.319
He will bear fruit, he won't have to be careful.
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:11.680
I don't give.
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:13.920
There was somebody complaining about the price of gas.
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:22.799
Where I was, I mean, I you know, I I don't it was over a hundred dollars to fill my car, but he had brought it up like three times, so I went, just you know, it's$31,000 to fill the plane up one time.
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:24.079
Last me one trip.
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:26.240
So oh yeah, just wanted to tell you.
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:27.839
So you zip your lips.
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:33.440
Because if you're complaining about 200 bucks, you you can't be that type of person if God's gonna.
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:35.920
It would say, God is my source.
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:53.039
I don't care if oil goes to 1,100 gallons of dollars a barrel, it will not affect any plan I have because my source is not the World Economic Forum or the Democrat Party or the Republican Party or the World Banks or the Federal Treasury.
00:33:53.200 --> 00:34:02.079
There are windows in heaven that when you do what God tells you to do, see if I won't open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing.
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.199
Today is a day of God blessing his people.
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:10.719
Can you say amen?
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:17.760
So, why what's behind the call to multiply the church?
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:20.880
How big do they think we want their church to get?
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.280
And Gang just wants to get his name out there.
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:29.519
You know, when we were building in Pittsburgh, of course, nobody would say anything in Texas because there's huge churches all over the place here, and I'm happy about it.
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:32.400
All these guys criticize it's American Christianity.
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:34.480
I mean, a church isn't about buildings.
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.920
You can't take this many people and go meet at a Starbucks.
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.000
Come on, we're here for Bible study.
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:48.079
You you'd you'd be you'd be asked, even in Texas, the sheriffs would reluctantly make you leave.
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.239
Let alone Ed Young Jr.
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:54.960
at Fellowship can't take 12,000 people to the back of a Dunkin' Donuts.
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:58.559
So the building keeps bugs out, rain out.
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:02.320
It's a place to gather, and they gathered in big buildings in the early church.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:08.559
The Bible says there was 3,120 that got that were a part of the church by Acts chapter 2.
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.119
And daily they met at Solomon's Temple and all heard the apostles teach.
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.199
They were just meeting in homes.
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.039
How come every place is allowed to have a big building except the church?
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:26.000
If Jerry Jones decided to demolish the Dallas Cowboy Stadium and build an even bigger one, people would celebrate it.
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:33.039
They'd talk on the news about how many jobs it's creating, how it's gonna inject a hundred billion per month into the economy.
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:39.199
But if a church goes to build, coming up at 11, a new church has come.
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:41.039
Then they'd get a picture of me like this.
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:43.280
No, with the Rolex.
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:48.960
Coming up at 11.
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:53.119
A new church has come to Wataga, promising miracles.
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.920
But we talked to Mary Johnson from Wataga.
00:35:56.159 --> 00:36:00.960
I never got in here because I went three times and I was 20,000, yeah.
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:01.920
I never really said.
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:08.880
Same freaking story they've been running since Oral Roberts was in the ministry.
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:12.719
The devil celebrates worldly growth and vilifies.
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.519
You never hear one person say they're building a super Walnut.
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:16.960
What do they need a super Walmart for?
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:18.159
They already have Walmart.
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:20.159
What do they need a giant Home Depot for?
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:20.719
They already have it.
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:24.559
No, they always celebrate casinos, wind star, everything.
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.000
But then, which is fine.
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:27.119
I'm a capitalist.
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.639
Do what you want to do.
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:30.719
Spend your money any way you want.
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.320
I am not in charge of your life.
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:36.880
But don't tell me that Jeffrey Epstein can have a jet and I can't.
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:47.679
Don't tell me that Jeffrey Epstein can buy a private island for Chadmill Station and we should feel bad for buying land for families to get changed and children to get blessed.
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:48.800
I don't feel bad.
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.400
I don't have that part of me.
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:56.719
I believe the biggest thing on planet earth in the last days should be the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:01.039
If you receive that today in Texas and a pitch for it, go ahead and do what you already do.
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:03.360
Clap your hands and shout.
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:10.320
Can you shout amen?
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:14.719
So you're you're you're commanded to grow the church.
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:16.400
Think of what Jesus said.
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:23.760
He didn't say the devil's gonna attack in the last days, but I will give the church power to survive.
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:28.400
He said, I will not all try.
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.519
I do what?
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:35.360
Build, multiply.
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:38.880
Everything with God is anointed to grow.
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:42.719
The kingdom of God is built on increase.
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:47.119
First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn on the ear.
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:49.199
Do you have the picture of me at the beach in Hawaii?
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.039
This is my first year out of Bible college.
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:52.719
This is the blade part.
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:58.960
Gathering 30 some youth up on a beach and preaching until my skin blistered off under the Hawaiian sun.
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:01.519
No money for a building, nothing.
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:05.360
But I wasn't doing anything different then than I'm doing now.
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:08.239
And I didn't have any less of a passion for God than or anything.
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:09.920
But you understand a principle.
00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:12.320
Despise not the day of small beginnings.
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:16.000
For though your beginning is small, your latter end will greatly increase.
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:17.440
Start where you're at now.
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:19.039
Don't wish you could be bigger.
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:25.920
Put your hands to what God gives you to do now, and whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:37.599
And by the way, as I look at that, almost I would say two-thirds of the people there are not only in church serving the Lord, they're leaders in church.
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:39.519
Mongales and Adallas are there.
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:40.800
We weren't dating at that.
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:41.920
They were like 18.
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:43.199
I wasn't dating anybody.
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:44.320
I was just yelling.
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:48.960
You think I'm wild at 45?
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.320
You should have seen me when I had no assets to be sued for.
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.079
One pastor has told me, if you keep behaving like that, someone's gonna sue you.
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:56.800
I said, For what?
00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:58.559
I live on my parents' couch.
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:02.559
Serving the Lord.
00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:04.400
Worship leader.
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.639
Those two Italian uh twins on the side, the two more twins, Sarah and Mary.
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.079
They're in church in Massachusetts, and leaders in church.
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:13.280
I gave it my all.
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:15.679
If that's all God ever had me to do.
00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:21.679
One of the reasons I hear from the Lord so clearly and easily is because I have no goals.
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:24.320
I have no plans.
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.679
Even on prayer and fasting, people say, What are you believing for?
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:29.039
I'm not nothing.
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:33.280
I'm gonna pray in tongues and get my orders from the Lord.
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:37.119
And whatever He tells me to do, I'm gonna do it the best I can.
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:40.000
I don't have anything I'm trying to get God to bless.
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:41.519
I'm very happy.
00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:44.159
I was happy there, I'm happy now.
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:50.239
So anytime I hear, I know it's not my ambition because I don't got any ambition.
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:57.599
My only thing I desire to do is like Paul said, what you tell me to do, I was not unfaithful.
00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:59.760
You didn't tell me to start a second church in Fort Worth.
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.559
Lord, inflation's through the roof.
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:04.159
And I live in Pennsylvania.
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:13.440
You know, if you get a revelation that God's not stupid, you actually don't have to tell him how much gas costs, you don't have to tell him how much buildings are.
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:17.519
He knows everything, and he knows everything that's going to happen.
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:19.519
You know what's been helping me a lot?
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:21.760
Nobody asked, but I'm gonna tell you anyway.
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.599
I've been listening to John Osteen, Joel's father.
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:38.480
Uh I've been listening to old recordings of him preaching when he was in the smaller building, which I think was still like a 5,500 seater, and they were getting ready to take the Omni Center to build the largest church in the history of the United States.
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:45.039
And back then in the 80s, everything you that people are worried about now, they were worried about then.
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:46.639
What about Iran?
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.320
It's like, okay, so the apparently this is not a problem that's gonna go away this weekend.
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:57.920
In fact, if you know the Bible, I don't know if it's tomorrow, I don't know if it's next week.
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:02.000
There is a 0% chance of that peace deal holding up.
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:05.280
Yeah, you can take it to the bank.
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:10.880
Those nations are gonna get in a little bit of a rumble called uh Armageddon.
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:12.239
It's going to happen.
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:18.000
And actually, the Bible says when everyone's saying peace and safety, then sudden destruction.
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:25.920
So if you want to get worried about Iran and gas prices and building prices and steel prices, you're never gonna do anything.
00:41:26.079 --> 00:41:34.000
Because part of that verse is including it, included in your blessing, is that you won't have to be careful in times of famine.
00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:41.119
When other people are running out, God will give you a plan to multiply in the midst of economic famine.
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:43.679
Can you say amen?
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:48.320
Toronto is one of the highest real estate places there are in North America.
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:51.199
Toronto and Vancouver, through the roof.
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:52.800
Toronto's massive.
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.079
6.7 million people in the Greater Toronto area.
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:58.800
One out of every six people in Canada live in that area.
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:01.039
Yeah, it's a huge place.
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:08.079
And then thanks to the thanks to Jesus Christ and his brother there, brother Ever giving me that plane.
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:11.440
It's a five-hour drive, but in a plane you can fly over the lake.
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:13.760
It's a 26-minute flight.
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:19.039
I was home with Adulus at quarter after midnight after laying hands on people until 11 p.m.
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:20.800
One country to the other.
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:24.719
You get cleared by customs before you land, because it's your own plane.
00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:29.440
And then actually, the customs agent, when she got on the plane, she said, What do you do?
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:30.320
I said, I'm a pastor.
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.639
She said, Oh, I'm safe, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost.
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:33.679
Where's your church?
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:34.719
I live in Aliquippa.
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:36.239
I said, It's the next town over in Hopewell.
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.480
She said, I'm gonna mind if I come check it out on Sunday.
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:43.679
That's called the Lord building this church, is when you're just trying to get your suitcases and people are coming to the Lord.
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:44.960
Can you say amen?
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.199
Everybody say multiplication.
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:56.320
So the Bible teaches multiplication, but it's not like the world does it.
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:58.800
Put Proverbs 10 22 up on the screen.
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:02.559
The blessing of the Lord makes a man rich.
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:04.880
But you can get rich without the Lord.
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.280
But you can't get this second part.
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:11.119
The blessing of the Lord makes a man rich.
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:14.159
And he added how much sorrow.
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:25.840
I sleep, I sleep better now needing about a million dollars to come in every 10 days than I did when I needed$3,500 to come in a month when I first got married.
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:26.880
You know why?
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:29.039
You can make a plan to get$3,500.
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:36.159
You can't get no plan to get a million in 10 days unless you're gonna reenact what Denzel Washington did in training day once every 10 days.
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:38.239
Just go rob drug dealers and stuff.
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:39.039
You can't do it.
00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:42.320
So sometimes when the devil tries to get me a word and goes, How are you gonna get the money for that?
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:44.320
I go, beats me, going to sleep.
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:47.280
It's not up to everybody say it's not up to me.
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:54.159
My job is to follow instructions because I'm gonna tell you if you get out of this flow, the day could come.
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:59.760
I've seen it wreck a million people, even in the ministry, because they're so conscious of what needs to be.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.079
Come in that God does a miracle.
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:03.039
Oh, you can hear?
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:03.840
Praise the Lord.
00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:05.360
You know, there's a hearing anointing here.
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:09.199
Everybody that sold a thousand dollars, I believe everything goes back to an offering.
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:10.960
Everything drives to an offering.
00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:12.239
That's not God's plan.
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.960
God's plan is not just blessing, it's sorrow-free blessing.
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:20.159
I brought this up enough that I shouldn't bring it up anymore.
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:35.760
But the conversation I had with my daughter's Christian school, when they when they taught that prosperity makes people focused on money, I said to the principal, how come I have an email from you to me asking if I can give$10,000, but you don't have any emails from me asking if you can give to my building?
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:37.119
I'm not worried about money.
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:41.280
When you understand the blessing of God, it takes your focus completely off money.
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:44.960
You're not out trying to get blessing, blessing's running after you.
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:51.920
You're not out trying to get money, money's chasing you down because God's hand is on your life.
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:53.920
Can you shout amen?
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:06.480
I don't know if I said this the last time I was here, but uh I landed coming back from Toronto, the first meeting, and we just went to a different airport.
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:11.199
We moved to one closer to my house because the other people were being jerks, so I left.
00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:19.840
And uh this guy, he's probably 22, he's in good shape, he's super friendly, he works hard, he's always there early.
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:25.440
And so he, I think they're instructed not to talk to us because rich people can be jerks, but I'm not.
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:32.480
So uh I got off the plane and he goes, Hey, real quick, I'm not trying to bother you.
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:34.800
Can I ask you your morning routine?
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:48.800
I said, Oh, you saw that plane in my SUV, and you want to you think I like get up at 5 30 in the morning and drink a wheatgrass smoothie and then do an hour and 30-minute workout, and then I listen to two podcasts and read a book every day?
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:50.480
He said, Yeah, like something like that.
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:51.440
I said, Yeah.
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.000
You'd be super disappointed.
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:58.480
My morning routine would be very similar to a heroin addict's morning routine.
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:03.280
I try to swing my feet over the side of the bed and then scavenge for food.
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:07.119
I'm not against working out or reading your podcast or taking care of yourself or any of that.
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:08.800
But what I told him was this.
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:10.719
I said, I'm gonna tell you something.
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:13.440
There's a scripture, Proverbs 10, 22.
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:19.119
The blessing of the Lord makes a man rich, and he adds no sorrow.
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:34.239
I said, If if you came on the road with me for two weeks, you would become extremely unimpressed with me, and extremely impressed that there's a real God who is supernaturally taking care of me and ordering my steps.
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:38.880
And I said to him, I said, uh, I took quoted Deuteronomy 28, 1 to 14.
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:44.320
I said, What God did for me, he'll do for anybody because he's doing more for others than he is for me.
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:48.559
This is just a little, I'm on my way to fulfill what God's called me to do.
00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:55.760
I said, You want to know properly the only thing that's out of whack in your life is putting God first.
00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:58.239
I said, You're you're in great shape.
00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:02.320
You already have the working out part, you're intelligent to talk to it, you got that.
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:08.960
But I said, if you don't get God first, you have to keep everything going.
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:12.480
That's why people are drinking problems.
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:15.440
Pill to go to sleep, pill to wake up.
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.039
One guy told me if he he one time left his mind medication home.
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:20.480
This is like a high-level guy.
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:24.800
He left his mind medication home, and at two o'clock he had forgot about it.
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:32.320
He said it felt like the walls were closing in, and he had to drive home having a full-out panic attack to get to his pills.
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:33.920
Who wants that?
00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:42.000
And so when people start hearing about blessing and increase, they think, well, no, I'd actually rather just have less and get to like live a normal life than do all that.
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:43.920
Brother Jonathan, you have other preachers there.
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:46.639
Brother Jonathan, I can't imagine keeping all that going.
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:47.679
Me either.
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:50.079
I'm not keeping anything going.
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.400
Jesus is the head of the church.
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:56.800
All I am is a servant of the Lord, and all I do is do what I say.
00:47:56.880 --> 00:48:05.360
And then God, Apollo said, or Paul said, I planted, Apollo slaughtered, but what?
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:09.360
God gave the increase.
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:11.360
God is an increaser.
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:13.280
Put Psalm 127.1 up.
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:16.480
Psalm 127.1.
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:23.519
127th Psalm in the first verse.
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:27.840
Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted.
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:30.400
You know, five churches now.
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:33.360
But I can't just go, you know what?
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:35.920
Chicago needs a good church.
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:39.599
There could be a need there, but I'm not necessarily the one God sent.
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:43.679
Bishop David Oyadepo that built a church of 520,000 people.
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:45.760
They just finished meeting in Nigeria today.
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:48.320
520,000 individual worshipers.
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:53.599
He said, when he went to Japan in the late 80s, there was no sign of Christianity.
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:57.760
Less than 0.2% of the population goes to church, and almost all that's military.
00:48:57.920 --> 00:48:58.400
Uh U.S.
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:00.880
military that's over there are people that are working with them.
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:07.039
And he said, I became so burdened that I started a church in Japan and I was gonna stay there the rest of my life.
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:11.280
And God spoke to me and said, get back to Africa.
00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:15.199
Though there's a need here, you're not the one I've sent.
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:25.360
When you get led by the Spirit, it solves so many problems because you can do good things that are not the thing God told you to do.
00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:41.360
But when you get in the flow, and that's what today is, today God is gonna line you up in the dead center of His will, and the things you struggle for, you're just gonna watch the Lord build the house, and none of your labor will be in vain.
00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:43.840
Receive that today.
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:48.239
If you receive it, shout a loud amen.
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:52.400
So, what's behind multiplication?
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:53.199
Let me see.
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:55.440
This is the first crusade I ever did in Philadelphia.
00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:59.039
This lady, by her own testimony, was a daily drug addict.
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.239
And you see her two sons behind her, two or three.
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:04.960
You know, these sons get a new mom.
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:06.639
This is what Jesus does.
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:07.760
Where's my Aunt Kathy?
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:09.679
My mom's a second older sister.
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:11.280
Is my Aunt Kathy here?
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:12.159
I thought I'm sorry.
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:13.199
She's here.
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:14.400
I thought I'm sorry.
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:16.239
Oh yeah.
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:18.000
I don't only have one.
00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:20.239
Stand up so everybody can see you.
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:22.480
Stand up so people can see it.
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:24.400
That's my mom's sister.
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:31.920
Who knew the Lord on that side of the family when my mom got saved?
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:35.280
She was the first.
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:36.320
Nobody knew the Lord.
00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:39.039
They went to Polish Catholic Church about once every two weeks.
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:47.920
It was led in an antiquated Polish language that no one that's what, you know, that's why the first guy that translated the Bible, they burn him at the stake.
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:59.119
The last thing the devil wants is for this to get in your hands, and the really last thing he wants is for it to get in your heart, and the really, really last thing he wants is for it to start coming out of your mouth.
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:01.840
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:04.960
I'm the head and not the tail, I'm above and not beneath.
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:10.000
Blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:17.519
And my mom got saved, and then it went through the whole family.
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:18.800
That's why you've heard me preach it.
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:22.719
If you've been hearing me preach on the road, salvation will come to you and your house.
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.639
I come to Texas, my mom's sister's there with her family.
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:28.719
I go to California, my cousins are there.
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:30.800
I go to Pittsburgh, my mom's sister's there.
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:33.360
Everywhere I go, my mom's families.
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:37.199
I got as many preachers on their side as I do on the Shuttlesworth side.
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:38.480
And nobody knew the Lord.
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:43.199
Dad died of cancer when my mom was 15, smoking and working in a glass factory.
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:48.480
And there's all kinds of families in Texas and Arizona and California.
00:51:48.639 --> 00:51:52.559
They're great people, but they don't know Jesus Christ.
00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:54.639
And somebody's got to get it to them.
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:57.679
And you're the people that are gonna do it.
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:06.800
If all this is is reciting speeches, then there's no point in having more than one church.
00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:08.800
Get bored with your own ministry.
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:13.519
Just go get you know, go out to eat, join a country club, sit around.
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:24.480
But when you see, and maybe this is what impacted me too, going to countries like Canada, like England, where I'll be this Sunday, where they let it collapse.
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:28.719
If light goes out, darkness moves in.
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:33.039
If they kill all these lights, we don't have to pray that darkness comes.
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:39.119
There will never be a secular nation with no religion.
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:42.639
If one moves out, the other moves in.
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.400
It's a spiritual law.
00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:46.079
Deuteronomy 28.
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:55.840
It because you would not serve me with joy and gladness of heart, another nation will come to rule over you whose gods your ancestors did not worship.
00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:11.440
That's why Islam flooded UK, flooded Canada, flooded Australia, and they tried it here, but it can't set up shut up because there's a church in Texas, in America, that has not bowed to bail or kissed his face.
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:18.400
Say my life matters.
00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:24.480
You know, just you going to church today, just you getting up and driving to church, people saw you do it.
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:28.159
Your neighbors saw you pull out of the driveway and could tell by how you were dressed.
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:31.599
You weren't going to get orange mimosas or whatever.
00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:38.559
And so, with all the advertising and shots that comedians take about Christianity, no one goes.
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:43.039
People in your high-income neighborhoods have to see people getting ready to go to church.
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:49.039
People in low-income neighborhoods had to see a mother get her kids ready and say, Well, I guess everybody's not going to hell.
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:50.800
Some people are still serving the Lord.
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:52.559
Your life is an example.
00:53:52.639 --> 00:54:04.320
And when you let your little light shine, this collection of little lights becomes a burning blowtorch that drives the devil out of Dallas Fort Worth, drives him out of Pittsburgh.
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:06.000
You matter.
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:11.840
Can you say amen?
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:23.599
Yeah, this is called a place called Nice Town, which is the second poorest, second most violent place in the United States back when we did the crusade.
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:25.280
Because that's where Jesus told you to preach.
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:31.360
He didn't tell you to charge$200 a person and preach to people that have money about how they can do a little better in life.
00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:42.079
He said, Go where there's blind and crippled and hurting and lame, the people nobody likes, and go if you'll go after the people nobody wants, God will give you what everybody wants.
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:48.639
2,564 people saved in five nights, which is a great number.
00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:52.719
But then when you realize it's individuals like this that are asking if they can testify.
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:56.800
In Philadelphia, which if you know anything about Philadelphia, nobody's lying.
00:54:57.199 --> 00:54:58.480
Listen to this testimony.
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:00.239
This is why we're called to multiply.
00:55:51.519 --> 00:55:54.800
That's a small, slim-cut dress shirt.
00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:56.079
And it's baggy on me.
00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:59.920
If I tried to put that thing on now, three people would have active bullet wounds from buttons.
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:01.199
Keep going.
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:03.360
Nobody talks like that anymore.
00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:07.840
Severely tormented by an evil spirit.
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:20.480
Whether it's crack, whether it's heroin, whether it's percocet and alcohol, whether it's whatever drug it is, it starts out fun, but the fun doesn't last long.
00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:23.119
The first day I came, it was Sunday.
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:24.960
I didn't stay for half a day.
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:26.239
But I was on drugs.
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:27.280
I was on crack.
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:28.719
I was smoking cigarettes.
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:29.760
I was drinking alcohol.
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:30.880
I was depressed.
00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:32.480
I was, you know what I mean?
00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:33.440
I was depressed.
00:56:33.599 --> 00:56:34.159
Everything.
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:42.559
Sin is pleasurable for a season.
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:52.960
But the wages thereof, the end thereof, is when I left here that first that Sunday, the next day, I didn't want to drink.
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:55.760
My sister she went to the to the deli.
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:56.400
She bought a beer.
00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:57.920
And I was like, I just didn't want any drugs.
00:56:58.000 --> 00:56:58.800
I didn't want any beer.
00:56:58.880 --> 00:56:59.519
I didn't want anything.
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:00.400
I bought a perhaps.
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:04.159
Then I came in here and I stayed for the whole thing the second day.
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:06.159
It's sin that's behind death.
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:08.559
That's why no mayor can stop it.
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:11.440
That's why no new city councilman can stop it.
00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:15.920
The only hope for America is to turn their back on sin.
00:57:16.719 --> 00:57:23.280
Give their burden of sin to Jesus and allow him to give you his new life.
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:25.360
And that I went to the altar that day.
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:27.760
And I was still smoking the cigarettes.
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:31.119
But after the altar, I didn't want any more cigarettes.
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:33.519
And since then, I haven't had a taste for drugs.
00:57:33.599 --> 00:57:34.960
I haven't had a taste for alcohol.
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:37.440
I haven't had a taste for a cigarette all day.
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:38.239
I mean, not me.
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:39.840
I had every day I smoke cigarettes.
00:57:40.480 --> 00:57:44.719
Every day I go delivered from the power of Satan.
00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:47.440
I was not unfaithful to the heavenly vision.
00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:54.559
I preached that people would have their sins forgiven and delivered from the power of Satan.
00:57:55.760 --> 00:58:01.599
Anything that represents the power of Satan in your life, it is not leaving this sanctuary with you today.
00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:02.880
Continue.
00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:09.440
Still smoking the cigarettes, but after the altar, I didn't want any more cigarettes.
00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:11.840
And since then, I haven't had a taste for drugs.
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:13.280
I haven't had a taste for alcohol.
00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:15.760
I haven't had a taste for a cigarette all day.
00:58:15.840 --> 00:58:16.639
I mean, not me.
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:18.079
Every day I smoke cigarettes.
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:18.800
You know what I'm saying?
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:20.079
Every day I go out and I use.
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:02.480
No addicts are leaving this field.
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.119
Hold me free, men and women of God.
00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:06.719
Shout them free.
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:08.800
Shout I'm free!
00:59:10.239 --> 00:59:14.880
Because I was the one who kept on walking around God, doing my thing.
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:18.320
You know, so I said I wasn't gonna go back to I got myself together.
00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:19.360
You know what I mean?
00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:25.199
So it was like he brought this to me, you know, and and I came and and I was delivered.
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:26.320
Addiction.
00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:30.000
My daughter's tormented, but Jesus spoke the word.
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:31.760
Ever say speak the word.
00:59:32.320 --> 00:59:34.079
Lift your hands one more time.
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:36.400
I speak the word as deserving.
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:43.199
Every spirit that torments men and women with addiction, I serve notice on you now.
00:59:43.440 --> 00:59:54.960
Your grip on any person on this field ends tonight, and they are set free now by the precious blood of the burden bearer, Jesus Christ.
00:59:55.119 --> 01:00:01.599
If you're thankful for that and believe it, one more time, clap those hands under God and let them know you believe.
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:05.920
Can you say amen?
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:14.559
You want to know one reason I pray that is is because uh people think you're you're full of crap and like what's the point of it?
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:15.760
Oh, come on, Jonathan.
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:21.119
You know, you have pastors tell you, but you know, I know you prayed, but like, you know, people need real help from addiction.
01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:22.960
I said, Oh, what's prayer?
01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:28.239
See, one of the problems in a nation is when the ministers lose confidence in the power of God, the thing's over.
01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:29.840
They think you're not really helping anybody.
01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:32.559
We'll say a little prayer, but really we need to get you like real help.
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:37.840
But Jesus didn't refer anybody to any kind of sinner or counseling.
01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:48.960
They brought unto him all the sick, and no matter what their sickness or what their disease or if they were possessed by evil spirits, one touch from his hand healed them all.
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:52.000
Has Jesus has Jesus changed?
01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:54.159
Has Jesus changed?
01:00:54.480 --> 01:00:56.480
Will Jesus ever change?
01:00:56.880 --> 01:00:58.000
Hebrews 13.
01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:00.320
Jesus Christ the same.
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:06.639
Yesterday, today, and forever, and we talk about the same work that you see me do.
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:15.519
You shall do it's time to rise up in the power of God and set generation free.
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:20.079
Hallelujah! Hallelujah.
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:26.000
Power in prayer, power in faith.
01:01:26.639 --> 01:01:28.000
Can you say amen?
01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:35.119
I know you guys watch me on the screen when I'm in Pittsburgh, so you probably already heard me say this, but it almost overwhelmed me however many Sundays ago it was.
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:36.880
Two, two, one or two.
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.079
When uh I was talking about the day of small beginnings.
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:41.519
I mean, I never thought of this.
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:46.559
My sister was born with a heart defect and was not supposed to make it.
01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:50.480
My mom was in the hospital with her for 31 days and we didn't have insurance.
01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:52.800
My dad made, I think,$7,000 that year.
01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:56.639
Preacher, they give you a$100 bill at the end of the week, a ham.
01:01:59.679 --> 01:02:00.800
You can't pay bills for that.
01:02:00.880 --> 01:02:02.000
It's not the 1800s.
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:03.360
Hello, landlord.
01:02:03.440 --> 01:02:04.480
This is a ham.
01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:12.960
So then she's in the hospital, they owe$52,000, which would be like half a million dollars in today's money.
01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:14.559
Unpayable.
01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:16.480
Unpayable debt.
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:21.440
My dad had a small apartment in Houston, Pennsylvania, a strummel brothers apartment.
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:23.039
Very small apartment.
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:26.159
I had braces on my legs and a speech impediment.
01:02:26.480 --> 01:02:36.960
My sister had a messed up heart, and we owed so much debt you we would never get, it was mathematically impossible for us to ever get out of debt with what my dad was making.
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:40.639
And then a deer kicked my mom's window out.
01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:42.880
In Pennsylvania, there's deer everywhere.
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:44.480
And they like attack cars.
01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:46.639
They're like jihadist whitetails.
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:52.400
This deer ran out of the forest and kicked our windshield out or the side window.
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:58.239
And so my mom's driving a Volvo station wagon with black electrical tape over the window.
01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:09.519
And if you'd have seen my dad, Tim Shuttlesworth, your trusted voice for Bible prophecy, in 1985, you'd have had every reason to say, what's this idiot doing?
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:14.000
Why doesn't he quit the ministry and get a job so he can properly provide for his family?
01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:15.280
Look at their car.
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:25.119
Their kids don't have clothes to go back to school with their sons uh got a speech impaired with braces on my legs because my legs were so crooked I can still turn this leg almost all the way around.
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:28.079
So just you could have mocked them to death.
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:31.119
And the devil will mock you to death when you look, what are you doing?
01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:32.400
You're not gonna make it.
01:03:32.639 --> 01:03:39.199
My dad said he used to have to pray in tongues the whole drive back from a church because the devil would be like, look at the size of that check.
01:03:39.280 --> 01:03:40.079
It's$200.
01:03:40.559 --> 01:03:44.559
You owe$52,000 and a bunch of other stuff.
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:45.920
How are you ever gonna make it?
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:51.440
My dad said it was like Satan was in the front seat with him, he just had to like pray, but he didn't quit.
01:03:53.039 --> 01:04:02.480
When the devil the devil has say something with me say Satan has limited resources, he can't create a third of the angels, followed him out of heaven.
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:07.199
He has a set number of demons and he has he has limited ability.
01:04:07.440 --> 01:04:21.599
So if he's spending time trying to discourage you from going forward and telling you what's the point, and you're not gonna make it, you can ascertain that since the devil's a liar, you are gonna make it if you don't give up and quit.
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:27.440
And maybe the only reason God send me is to tell you you're not gonna quit.
01:04:28.239 --> 01:04:33.679
It's not yours, it's the yours on the other side.
01:04:33.840 --> 01:04:38.639
If you receive that, take 70 seconds, clap your hands, shut up a little bit.
01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:43.280
Let the devil know you're not backing up.
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:51.280
Somebody shout hallelujah.
01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:54.079
It would say increase.
01:04:54.800 --> 01:05:01.039
Say with me, how things are now is not how it's gonna finish.
01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:04.320
Let me see Philippians 1-6, King James.
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:05.519
Philippians 1-6.
01:05:14.559 --> 01:05:19.280
And I am certain being confident, it was it being confident.
01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:21.199
Yeah, faith has confidence.
01:05:25.199 --> 01:05:26.480
Being confident.
01:05:26.960 --> 01:05:28.880
Faith has confidence.
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:33.119
I know, I know, I know the Bible says, I say, No, you don't know anything.
01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:35.440
Your tone of voice makes me sad.
01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:39.840
Being able to say confident.
01:05:40.320 --> 01:05:40.639
Yeah.
01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:42.480
The Bible says about Abraham.
01:05:42.719 --> 01:05:45.039
He was fully persuaded.
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:51.119
My dad didn't think anything differently today than he thought back then.
01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:52.639
He knew where he was going.
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:54.719
I know where I'm going.
01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:58.559
I pray by the time you hit those double doors at the back, you know where you're going.
01:05:58.800 --> 01:05:59.760
I'm going up and down.
01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:03.280
I'm going higher and not lower.
01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:05.199
I am the head and not the tail.
01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:06.880
The bank can't change that.
01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:08.239
The government can't change that.
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:09.760
I'm the head and not the tail.
01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:12.400
I'm the brother not to be blessed in the city.
01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:13.599
Blessed in the field.
01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:14.960
Blessed when I come in.
01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:16.159
Blessed when I come out.
01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:18.400
I am the sea of neighborhood.
01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:21.920
Everything God promises here belongs to me.
01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:24.320
It's not honey.
01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:26.400
It's the word of God.
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:44.079
Being confident of this very thing that he which began a good work in you will continue to perform it until the day you go to heaven.
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:46.320
I'm not finished yet.
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:49.119
Thank God he opened up that door on the beach.
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:51.119
But beach turns into little church.
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:55.599
Little church turns into slightly less little church, then medium-sized church.
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:59.119
Then doors turn open up where people want you to preach in other countries and stuff.
01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:01.039
Then one church, then two churches.
01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:01.679
Like Dr.
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:02.239
Seuss.
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:08.480
One church, two church, red church, blue church, then three church, then four church, then five church.
01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:12.719
Bishop Dak said last November, what if God were to give you a hundred churches?
01:07:12.960 --> 01:07:16.559
Whatever he wants to do, I'm open for the one thing I'm not doing.
01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:17.760
I'm not sticking one.
01:07:18.559 --> 01:07:22.480
I am not going to increase and multiply.
01:07:32.800 --> 01:07:34.079
Hallelujah.
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:38.000
Increase and multiply.
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:41.760
It's not an ambition, it's God's command over you.
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:46.400
And if you follow that command, you don't have to worry much about the other commands.
01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:50.719
Who am I gonna have an affair with?
01:07:51.119 --> 01:07:53.360
I'm not anywhere long enough.
01:07:53.679 --> 01:07:55.760
We'd have to have the affair running.
01:08:02.480 --> 01:08:12.480
I was walking to go preach in Uganda through the hotel uh lobby, and a lady, you know, anytime a lady starts talking to me, I just assume she's a prostitute because I've looked in the mirror before.
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:16.239
So I don't get this feeling that like I'm like attractive.
01:08:16.399 --> 01:08:22.239
So this lady, she goes, sir, I was walking, I said, Whatever you need to say to me, you're gonna have to keep up.
01:08:22.560 --> 01:08:23.760
She just let me go.
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:25.039
I'm on my way to church.
01:08:25.119 --> 01:08:26.319
I don't have time to linger.
01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:30.960
I'm not a part of a club in Texas, I'm not a part of a club in Pittsburgh, I'm not a part of one in California.
01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:33.520
I'm in the air or on the ground preaching or back in the air.
01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:38.000
Because when you multiply, there's no time to goof off and get yourself into trouble.
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:39.680
You're on a mission for God.
01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:41.520
That's when David got messed up.
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:45.199
In the season when kings went to war, David stayed home.
01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:51.680
But if you don't stay home and you keep going to war and you keep digging another well and you keep increasing.
01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:03.199
So say the word one more time.
01:09:03.359 --> 01:09:04.319
Say increase.
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:08.720
You remember that lady that got healed in Kentucky that had lung cancer?
01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:14.880
She was so weak from lung cancer and the cancer treatments that they wheeled her in on oxygen because she didn't have the strength to stand up.
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:20.479
And I noticed her standing up, and so I just decided to start ministering right then.
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:24.640
Because you could tell, I mean, she went from not being able to move to standing up, crying, lifted her hands.
01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:26.399
And so I worked with her.
01:09:26.800 --> 01:09:27.680
And then she came.
01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:30.479
I want to play in case you haven't seen the first part of the testimony.
01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:33.359
And then I went to another church in Kentucky and she's there.
01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:40.640
Her voice, when you hear the testimony, is still bad from the oxygen, from the feeding tubes, and everything she was on on cancer.
01:09:40.880 --> 01:09:45.439
And then a month later, her voice was like perfect.
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:49.359
So even the good things that God's done in your life, He's not finished.
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:50.720
They're gonna keep growing.
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:51.760
Can you say amen?
01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:53.680
They're gonna keep multiplying.
01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:58.399
You know, today's attendance here, we're at we're just under 600, 594.
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:03.920
That's the that's the attendance we had on opening Sunday of what Noah has seen last year.
01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:06.880
So what used to be a high water mark is now normal.
01:10:07.039 --> 01:10:09.600
What used to be an abarition is now normal.
01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:16.079
I'm telling you, the testimonies you're celebrating, they're gonna start to become normal because God's taking you higher.
01:10:16.239 --> 01:10:19.359
The devil will take you lower, but you're not serving the devil.
01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:25.199
You're in God's house, and God has an interest in taking you higher.
01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:28.960
Watch your name's Cindy.
01:10:29.039 --> 01:10:29.760
Go ahead.
01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:36.640
Hi, my name is Cindy, and I am testifying what all the good things God has done for me.
01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:41.439
I came to Marion, Kentucky to a revival that Brother Jonathan was preaching at.
01:10:41.600 --> 01:10:43.920
I had been diagnosed a year ago with lung cancer.
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:45.359
I was put on oxygen.
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:48.319
And when I came in, I had my oxygen on.
01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:50.640
Brother Jonathan took my hands.
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:53.840
It was like fire hit me in my chest.
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:58.880
In your breasts, in your lungs, in your esophagus, and in your heart.
01:10:59.039 --> 01:11:04.880
The Lord has cleared out everything that's of infirmity and everything that's of disease.
01:11:05.119 --> 01:11:07.279
That's why he kept standing up and lifting your hands.
01:11:07.359 --> 01:11:08.399
You could feel it.
01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:11.840
And then as you lifted your hands, it kept doing more and more.
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:15.279
Your strength is returning to you in full measure.
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:26.000
You're gonna be able to eat what you want when you want, sleep through the night, use the bathroom on your own, wash on your own from the time you now until you go home to be with the Lord in Jesus' name.
01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:29.760
And I fell out under the power, laid there a few minutes.
01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:32.640
When I got up, I just felt wonderful.
01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:34.800
Like I hadn't felt in over a year.
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:40.319
A few minutes later, I noticed that like my chest was rising a little bit more than I had been.
01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:41.359
I took my oxygen out.
01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:45.359
Didn't even realize I had taken it out.
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:49.840
A few minutes later, Brother Jonathan said something, and he looked and he goes, Hey, where's your oxygen?
01:11:50.079 --> 01:11:51.600
Why's your oxygen out?
01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:54.960
I took it down.
01:11:59.039 --> 01:12:03.359
Brother Jonathan prophesied that I would be able to eat, I would be able to sleep.
01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:10.800
My body would when people said Jonathan prophesied, you know, all I did was shout what the Bible says.
01:12:11.760 --> 01:12:13.439
You will live and not die.
01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:15.840
That's a Bible verse, Psalm 118, 17.
01:12:16.079 --> 01:12:18.079
Eat living involves eating.
01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:21.279
You have grandparents that are 97 and they still want food every day.
01:12:21.359 --> 01:12:22.720
You eat to live.
01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:24.399
Can you say amen?
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:27.600
So people act like yo, Jonathan said I could live.
01:12:27.760 --> 01:12:32.479
Jesus said, I took your sickness and I bore your disease.
01:12:32.640 --> 01:12:35.119
But sometimes people just need somebody to shout it at them.
01:12:35.279 --> 01:12:36.000
Continue.
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:39.760
He didn't know that I had a hiatal hernia as well.
01:12:39.920 --> 01:12:42.399
It's like I felt it zip up.
01:12:42.560 --> 01:12:43.680
Glory to God.
01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:45.920
He has been so good to me.
01:12:46.079 --> 01:12:48.079
Every day my strength is strong.
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:48.640
Yes.
01:12:49.039 --> 01:12:53.279
He has blessed me spiritually, physically, financially.
01:12:53.840 --> 01:12:54.560
Hallelujah.
01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:57.920
I just signed on a new house last month by myself.
01:12:58.079 --> 01:12:59.119
Glory to God.
01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:02.159
And I just can't believe all that he's done.
01:13:02.239 --> 01:13:07.680
But he said if you have the faith of a mustard seed, that anything you ask, he'll do it.
01:13:07.760 --> 01:13:09.600
And I'm living proof of that.
01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:12.479
Now watch this.
01:13:13.439 --> 01:13:14.640
Oh yeah, that's her.
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:16.159
So then you heard her voice.
01:13:16.319 --> 01:13:18.399
This is a this is a uh two months later.
01:13:18.479 --> 01:13:18.880
Go ahead.
01:13:19.039 --> 01:13:19.680
Listen, listen now.
01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:21.920
Her voice is sounds like perfect now.
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:27.680
And gain, which not every woman wants this, but she gained uh 15 pounds, I think she said.
01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:29.920
Because she was down to like like death.
01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:32.800
Now she's got her strength back and muscle and eat.
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:35.520
I love this job.
01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:43.359
I mean, I'm sure it must feel good to fix a broken down Ford F-150, but it's better to fix some lady in Kentucky.
01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:44.479
Continue.
01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:46.159
Everybody, how are you doing?
01:13:46.239 --> 01:13:47.600
How to do how listen?
01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:48.880
Oh, the house is great.
01:13:48.960 --> 01:13:50.479
We're getting the pool ready.
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:55.520
I have to tell you this.
01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:58.399
I have my twin grandbabies with me.
01:13:58.560 --> 01:14:01.680
They're 11, 10 and 11, almost 11.
01:14:02.079 --> 01:14:10.399
And um they had fasted and prayed and paid tithing, paid offering for our new house for about five years.
01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:11.760
We prayed for it.
01:14:12.079 --> 01:14:21.199
We would pray it first, we would pray um that God would get us a new house and that it would be miraculously paid for.
01:14:21.760 --> 01:14:22.800
For five years.
01:14:23.039 --> 01:14:25.600
For five years we prayed that in my hand to God.
01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:26.479
All right.
01:14:26.720 --> 01:14:29.760
So after a couple of months, we started praying.
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:32.079
Thank you, God, for our house.
01:14:32.960 --> 01:14:35.920
Thank you that it's miraculously paid for.
01:14:36.399 --> 01:14:38.399
A pool would be nice to.
01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:42.720
I didn't even know it had a pool until I bought it.
01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:44.960
I went to look at it, rather.
01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:47.199
And it's just been so good to me.
01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:51.039
I wish you could have seen that granddaughter's face when I told her, you know what?
01:14:51.279 --> 01:14:52.479
Remember what we prayed for?
01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:54.319
They'd be, oh yeah, nanny.
01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:56.880
God got us a house.
01:14:57.119 --> 01:14:59.600
And I said, Yeah, and he's paying for it too.
01:14:59.760 --> 01:15:02.640
He made arrangements through Brother Jonathan.
01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:04.399
He blessed me with that.
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:06.720
Glory to God.
01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:07.199
Hallelujah.
01:15:07.520 --> 01:15:08.560
You bring it back to me.
01:15:08.800 --> 01:15:10.560
So you hear the voice.
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:12.560
And then with the house, I don't do this all the time.
01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:14.239
I'm trying to build churches.
01:15:14.319 --> 01:15:15.840
The last thing I'm looking for is to spend more money.
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:17.920
And I promise you, I'm getting ready on the Friday night.
01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:19.600
And the Lord said, remember that lady you prayed for?
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:21.279
Tell her you're gonna pay for her house.
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:25.279
So that night I told her I didn't know all that backstory they were praying and believing.
01:15:25.439 --> 01:15:26.560
And then she told me.
01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:29.520
She said, Everybody said he's not gonna send the money.
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:33.920
And you got scammed, which I don't know what the scam would be, even if I didn't send it.
01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:35.359
You still got the lungs and stuff.
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:42.720
And she said, I carry so many people tell me those guys lie that I carry a photocopy of the check to show them that he sent it.
01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:43.680
It's been three months now.
01:15:43.760 --> 01:15:51.680
Now I want to tell my office this because she contacted us and said that I made arrangements to will the house back to revival today after it's paid for.
01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:53.279
Tell her to will it to her family.
01:15:53.359 --> 01:15:54.800
I don't need a house in Kentucky.
01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:58.560
This is not a 20-year plan to acquire widow's property.
01:15:58.720 --> 01:16:03.840
This is a gift from Jesus because when you have faith, that lady didn't say, I think I'm gonna die.
01:16:03.920 --> 01:16:08.079
She said, I want to get healed, and I want a house with a pool, and I want God to pay for it.
01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:09.439
And God said, No problem.
01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:14.960
God is looking for people that are looking to increase, and you're increasing right now.
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:17.760
I said, You're increasing right now.
01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:25.199
Now watch this baby.
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:27.199
This this was last February till now.
01:16:27.279 --> 01:16:28.640
Everybody shout, increase.
01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:31.439
Let me let me see that one with the lady and her babies.
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:34.960
Is that prayer?
01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:39.840
I commend everything to form right in this child right now.
01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:42.479
Quick there's no child, there's a phone.
01:16:42.720 --> 01:16:43.520
Kid's in the NICU.
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:45.279
I can't remember how little the kid was.
01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:50.319
He was like super little, heart formed on the wrong side of the chest, and I can't remember what all he was missing.
01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:51.279
She'll tell.
01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:51.840
Go ahead.
01:16:52.159 --> 01:16:53.920
Complete discharge from the NICU.
01:16:55.279 --> 01:16:59.119
Now, how hard is that to just agree with people in prayer?
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:02.640
Most the way you're trained in the ministry is not to do that.
01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:07.520
You know, I know you would like him to live, but you know, we have to be realistic.
01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:10.560
The Bible, if you want to be realistic, don't read the Bible.
01:17:11.039 --> 01:17:19.920
Some guy built a boat in Iraq and a flood came, and then God parked him on a mountain, and then Jesus was born of a virgin, and then he rose from the dead on the third day.
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:30.560
If you like realism, it's not the book for you, it's a supernatural book written by a supernatural God that wants you to have a supernatural encounter with his power.
01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:34.960
So why I'm saying this is not to pat myself on the back.
01:17:35.039 --> 01:17:41.840
I'm saying you'd be amazed how much you'll see happen if you'll just get in that vein instead of let's be real.
01:17:42.079 --> 01:17:42.560
No, okay.
01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:44.000
You want your son to live?
01:17:44.239 --> 01:17:46.159
Then let's pray for a miracle.
01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:48.399
It would say a miracle, Jonathan.
01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:49.359
It would take a miracle.
01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:50.319
Guess what?
01:17:50.560 --> 01:18:01.680
We're in a place right now called church, worshiping the God who called himself the God of miracles, and said, Is there anything too hard for me?
01:18:01.840 --> 01:18:07.279
When you call on him today, he's gonna answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not.
01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:08.079
Go ahead.
01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:14.560
Do it, oh Lord, to confirm your word in Jesus' name.
01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:17.119
Let that baby be a mighty preacher.
01:18:21.039 --> 01:18:22.000
Did you have your baby?
01:18:22.159 --> 01:18:22.960
Last week.
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:24.560
Thursday of last week.
01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:25.199
One week.
01:18:25.359 --> 01:18:26.319
And just share.
01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:30.880
We found out about 20 weeks gestational age that he had a hole in his diaphragm and his stomach.
01:18:31.039 --> 01:18:33.199
We were told at that time his stomach was in his chest cavity.
01:18:33.520 --> 01:18:36.720
And they sent us to Cincinnati Children's Hospital because they have a team specialist there.
01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:38.319
They want to do an experimental surgery.
01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:41.359
And we said, No, you're not playing with my baby.
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:44.399
We believe in God, but we don't believe in experimental surgery.
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:58.399
So we knew we knew very early on that it was gonna be a battle, but they kept telling us his lungs were gonna be underdeveloped, his heart was shifted to the right side of his chest, which was really weird when he was born to see his heart beat on the wrong side of his chest.
01:18:58.880 --> 01:19:00.319
It was it was really freaky.
01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:04.800
Today we found out that God has moved his heart almost back to the center.
01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:24.000
It's not ready to breathe on its own yet.
01:19:24.159 --> 01:19:28.800
And I finally have a doctor that is telling me he actually has two lungs, which we've stood on all along.
01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:31.359
They're calling it a lung nub on his left side.
01:19:31.439 --> 01:19:33.760
So we're gonna call it his little nub that's gonna grow.
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:35.359
Because that's what it will do.
01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:38.079
He was removed from dialysis yesterday morning.
01:19:42.159 --> 01:19:47.520
They're looking at taking his, he has a stomach drain because they weren't sure if his stomach was gonna work at all.
01:19:47.760 --> 01:20:00.800
So he has a stomach drain that they're gonna let the air into today, and providing that I'm expecting that we're gonna hear the air that's gonna go through his gut that's gonna come out tonight or tomorrow morning, and they're gonna put a feeding tube in so he can start getting my milk in his little body.
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:03.199
Do you have a picture?
01:20:03.439 --> 01:20:03.760
There we go.
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:27.680
You could see his heart on the right side of his chest when he was born.
01:20:27.760 --> 01:20:28.720
You could watch it eat there.
01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:30.720
Two hours after he was born, he coded.
01:20:30.880 --> 01:20:33.760
The doctors came to us and said, Do you want us to stop CPR?
01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:35.199
Or do you want to try ECMO?
01:20:35.359 --> 01:20:36.720
With no guarantee that he would live.
01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:39.279
There was a possibility of brain bleeds.
01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:44.560
There was a possibility of the lack of oxygen to the brain for too long because of how long they had done CPR.
01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:46.239
And we said, Well, we'll try ECMO.
01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:47.119
And we believed God.
01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:48.640
God said he will live and not die.
01:20:48.800 --> 01:20:51.119
Two days later, there was too much pressure on his heart.
01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:51.920
His heart failed.
01:20:52.079 --> 01:20:54.319
We did the surgery to repair his hiring.
01:20:54.800 --> 01:20:57.439
And then we created the space in his chest cavity.
01:20:57.520 --> 01:21:01.600
And I told the kids that when you make room for God, God's gonna move.
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:06.560
God filled his chest with two whole lungs that he will praise the Lord with.
01:21:06.800 --> 01:21:13.520
Just about 10-ish days ago on the 13th, which was his 13-month birthday, we tested him for arrhythmia.
01:21:14.159 --> 01:21:18.319
They believed that he had arrhythmia, and I had proclaimed since his birth he did not.
01:21:18.479 --> 01:21:19.760
And that test was negative.
01:21:19.920 --> 01:21:21.439
He does not have arrhythmia.
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:29.199
Just knowing that God's promises are for David, that he has promised that he will be healed, healthy, whole.
01:21:29.359 --> 01:21:34.000
And we are not stopping until we see it 100% healed, healthy, and whole.
01:21:34.399 --> 01:21:36.159
You got a picture from the meeting?
01:21:37.119 --> 01:21:40.239
If you don't have pictures from the meeting when I was there, then you need to add it in.
01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:42.720
So the week I was there, we shared the testimony.
01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:44.319
He's there with a bunch of tubes.
01:21:44.479 --> 01:21:47.199
All tubes were removed by the Wednesday of that week.
01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:53.520
He is now completely healed in 14 months after being guaranteed he's not gonna make it out of it.
01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:57.840
No love, not a bad luck, no luck, heart on the wrong side of the chest.
01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:01.600
I'm playing this so you know this is not hype.
01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:06.239
This is not some kind of religious crap to give you Pablum to make it through the week.
01:22:06.319 --> 01:22:18.399
You serve the supernatural god, all the other gods are in their tombs, but Jesus is alive, the tomb is empty, and when you come on, you'll multiply and strengthen you.
01:22:18.560 --> 01:22:20.880
And must say, I'm getting stronger today.
01:22:21.520 --> 01:22:23.279
Just lift your hands wherever you're at.
01:22:23.439 --> 01:22:34.800
Now, Father, whatever anybody came in here with, I pray that as that multiplication and increase of your power and your spirit comes into their body and into their life.
01:22:34.960 --> 01:22:40.640
I thank you for lifting them up out of whatever pit they're in and putting their feet on the rock to stay.
01:22:40.880 --> 01:22:44.000
Thank you that no one that came in here stays where they're at.
01:22:44.159 --> 01:22:46.239
Thank you that addictions are burned away.
01:22:46.399 --> 01:22:48.960
Thank you that sickness and disease goes today.
01:22:49.119 --> 01:22:53.279
Thank you for multiplying your people in Jesus' name.
01:22:53.439 --> 01:22:56.479
And if you receive it, take 30 seconds one more time.
01:22:56.640 --> 01:22:58.479
Clap your hands, all ye people.
01:22:58.640 --> 01:23:02.720
Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
01:23:02.880 --> 01:23:06.479
Come on, your hand clap is an announcement to the devil.
01:23:08.880 --> 01:23:10.560
Enough is enough.
01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:13.520
Give me seated.
01:23:14.239 --> 01:23:15.760
Let me have the the third one.
01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:16.960
This is from Fort Worth.
01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:18.000
Ladies here.
01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:22.000
Good morning, Revival Today Church.
01:23:22.159 --> 01:23:25.439
I just want to come to you today and tell you about a little experience at last.
01:23:25.920 --> 01:23:26.640
Is this a month ago?
01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:27.920
Well, let me back it up.
01:23:28.079 --> 01:23:34.000
I went into the hospital with low blood sugar and uh low um blood pressure.
01:23:34.239 --> 01:23:37.600
During I was there, they found a lot of medical things that were wrong with me.
01:23:37.840 --> 01:23:38.239
Positive.
01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:41.359
Only in Texas would they make a necklace out of buckshot.
01:23:41.680 --> 01:23:42.079
Keep going.
01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:48.000
During an endoscopy, they had to um put a stint in.
01:23:48.159 --> 01:23:51.680
And when I came out of that, my left side was paralyzed.
01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:53.199
Basically, I couldn't move it.
01:23:53.279 --> 01:23:54.159
I was just like this.
01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:55.439
I didn't even notice it.
01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:58.720
My daughter said, Hey, mom, you're not moving your left side.
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:00.560
And I went, No, I'm not.
01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:03.760
So from there they took me to a physical rehab therapy.
01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:09.680
And when I got there, I had faith, and I told her, I said, I'm walking out of here without my walker.
01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:17.199
And the devil came in and said, To me, through the physical therapist, the best you're gonna do is come out on a walker.
01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:20.640
And I I I let that seek get in there, right?
01:24:20.880 --> 01:24:26.960
And the Lord had spoken to me Saturday, and I talked, I texted my son, and I said, Will you come pick me up?
01:24:27.199 --> 01:24:28.399
I need to go to church.
01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:35.199
And I got in the van that day and I professed to him, I said, I'm walking out of church today without that walk.
01:24:35.840 --> 01:24:39.840
And the minute I got into church, guys, I I felt the Holy Spirit.
01:24:39.920 --> 01:24:43.600
I was like trembling like this the whole time in my seat.
01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:48.800
And when uh Pastor Jonathan came up and walked up there, the Lord said, Stand.
01:24:49.039 --> 01:24:52.560
And I'm gonna tell you at that point, I couldn't physically stand on my own.
01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:55.039
I had to grip up and I was shaking.
01:24:55.279 --> 01:24:56.960
And the Lord just told me to stand.
01:24:57.039 --> 01:24:58.560
And out of faith, I stood.
01:24:58.720 --> 01:25:02.479
And I stood, and Jonathan says, and went like this to me.
01:25:02.720 --> 01:25:05.119
The final two thirds of this year.
01:25:14.159 --> 01:25:20.079
Informity come out! Pause it.
01:25:20.720 --> 01:25:22.560
I just want to tell you something about prayer.
01:25:22.800 --> 01:25:23.680
Say this with me.
01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:28.560
There's things to be prayed for, and there's things to be prayed against.
01:25:29.680 --> 01:25:34.399
So when it says speak to the mountain, a mountain is something you can't move in the natural.
01:25:34.640 --> 01:25:35.119
You know what I'm saying?
01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:36.640
Now we just Lord, we ask you.
01:25:36.880 --> 01:25:38.720
There's not the Lord that has her paralyzed.
01:25:39.119 --> 01:25:41.840
Lord, just take your hand of paralysis off her.
01:25:41.920 --> 01:25:43.840
There's no involvement from God.
01:25:44.159 --> 01:25:45.199
God's a healer.
01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:47.279
The afflictor is who?
01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:48.880
Satan.
01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:50.000
Acts 10 38.
01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:57.199
No doubt you know how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power, went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil.
01:25:57.520 --> 01:25:59.039
The devil's the oppressor.
01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:01.920
When he's off the scene, lions will lay down with lambs.
01:26:02.079 --> 01:26:03.279
There won't be car accidents.
01:26:03.520 --> 01:26:08.800
He's the one responsible for death, theft to steal, kill, and destroy.
01:26:08.960 --> 01:26:09.520
So do you know?
01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:15.439
Oh God, it's not God up in heaven picking what five people he's gonna grant a permit to to get healed.
01:26:15.680 --> 01:26:17.119
He already released healing.
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:20.720
And he said, Whatever you bind on earth, I'll back it from heaven.
01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:22.479
Whatever you permit on earth.
01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:24.960
So you speak to a mountain with force.
01:26:25.039 --> 01:26:26.640
I'm gonna say authority.
01:26:29.600 --> 01:26:32.720
Authority can tell an armed man to sit down and put his gun away.
01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:33.439
He'll listen.
01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:38.880
That's what Doc Holiday did tombstone and uh when he was in uh uh Kansas and never fired a shot.
01:26:39.279 --> 01:26:40.319
Just authority.
01:26:40.560 --> 01:26:42.079
That's how you speak to the devil.
01:26:42.720 --> 01:26:46.319
Oh God, we just ask you, Lord, be with Sister Bernice and she can't walk today.
01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:50.239
You're talking to the wrong guy.
01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:51.119
Do you like seeing a guy?
01:26:51.199 --> 01:26:56.319
You're you're a police officer and somebody's robbing a 7-Eleven, and you go, mayor's sure gonna be mad at you when he finds out.
01:26:56.720 --> 01:26:59.680
Mayor, we just can you call the mayor and just let him know we wouldn't like him.
01:26:59.920 --> 01:27:02.720
He gave you a badge and a gun to deal with the problem.
01:27:03.119 --> 01:27:08.720
And so you speak to infirmity with authority, knowing it's a foul thing.
01:27:08.960 --> 01:27:09.920
Now think of this.
01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:13.439
If you allow things to remain unchecked, they get worse.
01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:15.199
So, well, I just hope it goes away.
01:27:15.279 --> 01:27:16.560
Things don't go away by hoping.
01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:19.279
You take authority over addiction.
01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:24.960
You can speak to addiction, you can speak to alcoholism, you can speak to paralysis.
01:27:25.199 --> 01:27:28.079
Jesus spoke, it's in Matthew chapter 8.
01:27:28.560 --> 01:27:34.800
Jesus spoke to the fever in Peter's mother-in-law's blood and told the fever to leave her blood.
01:27:35.039 --> 01:27:36.720
That's how you get results.
01:27:37.439 --> 01:27:38.479
Deacons just come around.
01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:39.840
Lord, we just ask you.
01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:41.760
We don't understand why things happen.
01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:43.039
What are you writing a poem?
01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:46.159
Speak.
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:47.840
Infirmity.
01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:49.680
Go, and it goes.
01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:50.800
It'll listen.
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:52.640
Jesus said it will obey your command.
01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:54.000
Matthew chapter 10.
01:27:54.159 --> 01:27:59.680
And he gave them authority to cat over unclean spirits and to heal all sickness and disease.
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:02.880
Either you believe it or you don't, but if you believe it and act on it, it works.
01:28:02.960 --> 01:28:03.680
Keep going.
01:28:08.800 --> 01:28:09.840
Be healed.
01:28:10.479 --> 01:28:14.800
When you get as quick as this attack came on your body, I plan to leave even quicker.
01:28:15.680 --> 01:28:17.039
Jesus' name.
01:28:18.159 --> 01:28:19.039
Please go.
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.399
And all I could almost tripped over my walker, and from there, I apologized.
01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:24.960
I went.
01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:25.920
I was gone.
01:28:26.159 --> 01:28:29.359
All I remember is him laying a hand, and that was it.
01:28:29.600 --> 01:28:33.359
When I stood up, I walked up and down the alley.
01:28:33.680 --> 01:28:35.199
Praise God, hallelujah.
01:28:35.520 --> 01:28:49.840
One week later, I just look at that, people! Look at that! Look at that! All in the mighty name of God, and all because of faith in standing on the word and the mighty healing of Jesus Christ.
01:28:50.800 --> 01:28:53.359
Stand up, sir, and I saw you jumping around today.
01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:58.399
So yes, drag that's one month.
01:28:59.920 --> 01:29:02.800
Yes, listen, yes.
01:29:03.760 --> 01:29:06.399
Yes, that's old school Texas right there.
01:29:08.000 --> 01:29:09.039
Hallelujah.
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:12.319
Dancing on the grave that you once lived.
01:29:12.880 --> 01:29:13.760
That's gonna be you.
01:29:13.840 --> 01:29:16.079
The thing that had you back, you're free.
01:29:16.239 --> 01:29:19.359
The thing that had you defeated, you have the victory.
01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:22.479
This is the day the Lord has made.
01:29:22.640 --> 01:29:26.239
Today gives you reason to rejoice and be glad in it.
01:29:27.279 --> 01:29:28.560
You be seated.
01:29:30.079 --> 01:29:35.199
I want to read it one last scripture to you, and then I'm gonna leave you alone until what Noah has seen.
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:37.760
By the way, this is the theme of what no eye has seen.
01:29:37.840 --> 01:29:38.560
I announced it this week.
01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:38.960
It came.
01:29:39.279 --> 01:29:41.039
I've just been flowing in this.
01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:45.039
Faith for the impossible.
01:29:45.680 --> 01:29:48.399
You don't need faith for what you can do.
01:29:48.640 --> 01:29:51.600
You need faith for the impossible.
01:29:54.479 --> 01:29:59.359
And I'm gonna, I've never done this before, but all everybody that's speaking this week, I'm gonna tell them that's the thing I want I want to hear.
01:29:59.600 --> 01:30:03.840
I want to hear from Matthew Ashimala how you build a church of 12,000 in London.
01:30:04.800 --> 01:30:06.560
I want to hear from all these guys.
01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:17.119
I want to hear what God put in their spirit about faith that'll make a sea become a desert highway with the ground dried up and then close it back in on your enemies.
01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:18.159
Faith.
01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:19.680
Bible faith.
01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:23.840
It's not a box you check on the census form, Catholic, Protestant, or other.
01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:26.960
It's a mountain-moving force.
01:30:27.199 --> 01:30:33.119
It causes Lazarus to get out of his tomb, it causes a heart to go to the right side of the chest.
01:30:33.279 --> 01:30:39.439
It is a power that God gave the church to effortlessly prevail in every battle of life.
01:30:39.600 --> 01:30:44.800
And I tell you a third time today, every battle you're going through, you're coming out the other side.
01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:45.840
I'm champion.
01:30:46.800 --> 01:30:51.119
Whether the devil likes it or not, you believe in shot, amen like thunder.
01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:55.760
Genesis 26, 12.
01:30:56.079 --> 01:31:03.760
When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more than he planted, for the Lord had blessed him.
01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:05.279
Genesis 26, 1.
01:31:05.359 --> 01:31:07.359
A severe famine now struck the land.
01:31:07.520 --> 01:31:08.319
Verse 12.
01:31:08.560 --> 01:31:14.960
But Isaac sowed in the midst of a famine and reaped a hundredfold, for the Lord had blessed him.
01:31:15.199 --> 01:31:17.359
He became a very rich man.
01:31:17.760 --> 01:31:22.640
These people teach that if you're blessed, it manifests itself in riches, and that's just not in the Bible.
01:31:22.960 --> 01:31:23.840
Right there.
01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:25.119
Right there.
01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:29.199
Became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow.
01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:34.319
But how many know it's more it's not money, it's spiritual things in June.
01:31:34.640 --> 01:31:44.399
No, he acquired so many flocks of sheep, goats, herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines envied him.
01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:48.880
So the Philistines filled up all of Isaac's wells with dirt.
01:31:49.119 --> 01:31:53.119
Can I see the picture of the Friday night in Toronto just to show everybody?
01:31:53.680 --> 01:31:56.079
We had 43 new people saved on the last night.
01:31:56.159 --> 01:31:58.640
We had over a hundred saved in one week, and it's not a crusade.
01:31:58.720 --> 01:32:00.159
I don't know where they came from.
01:32:01.359 --> 01:32:04.720
You know, yes, that's the altar to get saved.
01:32:06.960 --> 01:32:09.520
And yes, I am wearing the exact same outfit.
01:32:12.159 --> 01:32:14.159
I thought I told you to wait in the car.
01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:18.239
So look at that.
01:32:18.560 --> 01:32:19.600
Room jam.
01:32:20.079 --> 01:32:23.199
There was a Punjabi wedding going on in the room behind us.
01:32:23.359 --> 01:32:25.359
They were playing the music and dancing and beating the drum.
01:32:25.439 --> 01:32:26.720
It was like a contest.
01:32:28.319 --> 01:32:29.520
But we won.
01:32:31.119 --> 01:32:35.920
There's the place packed out with young people getting saved, all kinds of people getting saved.
01:32:36.159 --> 01:32:38.079
And so we're gonna launch the church September 6th.
01:32:38.159 --> 01:32:41.119
I think I'm gonna go back once a month or so in between.
01:32:41.279 --> 01:32:43.359
And we already have the Canadian paperwork that went through.
01:32:43.439 --> 01:32:46.640
That's supposed to take 12 to 18 months, but we got it by a miracle.
01:32:46.720 --> 01:32:47.920
I don't have time to share that today.
01:32:48.159 --> 01:32:49.359
So that'll be church number five.
01:32:49.439 --> 01:32:52.800
So now you'll have family in Canada as well as all over the United States.
01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:54.159
Can you say amen?
01:32:55.039 --> 01:32:57.600
So they they plugged up his wells.
01:32:58.000 --> 01:32:59.199
I'm not gonna keep you here all day.
01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:01.039
Oh, we broke 600.
01:33:01.359 --> 01:33:03.439
We're increasing during the service.
01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:05.119
Praise the Lord.
01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:10.720
So um you think Pastor Michael and Sherry are doing a pretty good job?
01:33:11.199 --> 01:33:12.319
I know I do.
01:33:13.359 --> 01:33:14.479
Total blessing.
01:33:14.880 --> 01:33:16.000
Great job.
01:33:17.520 --> 01:33:23.039
So when they got mad that he was prospering, they filled in his wealth.
01:33:23.680 --> 01:33:31.359
Unrighteous people, when they see the righteous prosper, they don't know what to do to prosper on their own, so they want to fill in your wealth.
01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:33.279
That's why we got sued in Pittsburgh.
01:33:33.680 --> 01:33:37.520
They just didn't like other churches turned to sin for having too many people in our building.
01:33:37.600 --> 01:33:39.680
It's called an attempt to stop up your wealth.
01:33:39.920 --> 01:33:41.920
So I'm preaching on this because I'm not gonna keep here all day.
01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:43.039
I'm gonna pray very shortly.
01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:50.239
So when the people see you prosper, they make an attempt to fill in your well.
01:33:50.640 --> 01:33:53.760
Toronto used to be a home of revival.
01:33:53.920 --> 01:33:58.399
Catherine Kuhlman had to went up there to do a nightly healing meeting and had to do two.
01:33:58.640 --> 01:34:01.840
One at seven and one at ten because too many people came.
01:34:02.079 --> 01:34:05.920
And then the devil does a work to fill in the well and stop up the well.
01:34:06.079 --> 01:34:09.520
That's what if you have a business, you deal with permit people and permit boards.
01:34:09.680 --> 01:34:11.279
A lot of them are well stoppers.
01:34:11.680 --> 01:34:12.640
They just don't like you.
01:34:13.199 --> 01:34:14.000
That'll never be.
01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:17.439
As long as I'm on the permit board, that'll never, you'll never build that.
01:34:18.960 --> 01:34:20.239
Scrooge McDuck.
01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:27.119
Why do you wake up in the morning with a desire to just stop and flirt other people's dreams?
01:34:27.279 --> 01:34:28.319
But that's life.
01:34:28.560 --> 01:34:38.560
And so I'm showing this to you because people hear a guy like me preach, they get all cranked up on the inside about increase, and then the first time somebody does something to stop up their well.
01:34:39.920 --> 01:34:48.239
You know, I used to go to Revival Today and they told me I had increase, but then the permit man said that we couldn't buy the parking lot, and then um I just realized sometimes it doesn't work.
01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:49.520
No, you quit.
01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:53.279
You're not gonna find anybody in the Bible that did anything they did without opposition.
01:34:53.520 --> 01:34:59.359
So God's word doesn't give you power, it's not spiritual marijuana where you smoke it up and just ignore what's going on.
01:34:59.520 --> 01:35:07.199
It's power to overcome the obstacles of life, and there's part of your Abrahamic covenant, Genesis 28, 1 to 14.
01:35:07.359 --> 01:35:13.199
The Bible says, Your enemy will attack you from one direction, but I will make him flee from you in seven directions.
01:35:13.439 --> 01:35:19.840
Anybody trying to thwart your progress comes under divine curse today in Jesus' mighty name.
01:35:20.000 --> 01:35:20.239
Bible.
01:35:22.720 --> 01:35:24.000
Can you say amen?
01:35:24.800 --> 01:35:37.359
So they filled up his well, and they also think that if they take what you have, they can have what you have, but they don't realize what the reason they stopped it up with dirt was because when they took Isaac's well, it didn't work anymore.
01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:40.640
It's they think what you have is your blessing.
01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:47.039
They think if they come, if they seized my plane, which is Everett's plane, it's not even mine.
01:35:47.520 --> 01:35:48.800
I don't think you should have it yet.
01:35:48.880 --> 01:35:50.479
Well, good news, I don't.
01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:54.640
They take your building.
01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:56.960
That's what Pittsburgh told me when we were in our first building.
01:35:57.119 --> 01:36:00.319
If you have church on Sunday, we're gonna padlock your building and you'll be arrested.
01:36:00.560 --> 01:36:02.239
Okay, see you Sunday.
01:36:02.560 --> 01:36:04.159
I read Genesis 26.
01:36:04.239 --> 01:36:05.119
You don't stop.
01:36:05.279 --> 01:36:07.920
The last thing you should ever do is quit moving forward.
01:36:08.159 --> 01:36:15.920
When the devil makes an attempt to get you to back up, that's the time to get in a bulldozer and go a hundred percent in the direction that God called you to go.
01:36:16.159 --> 01:36:26.159
Everybody that's here that's facing opposition today, a power from heaven is loosening your spirit to plow through to the other side.
01:36:27.920 --> 01:36:31.199
Does anybody remember 40 days of glory in Pittsburgh?
01:36:31.760 --> 01:36:35.119
The first year of our church in April, I said we're gonna have 40 days of glory.
01:36:35.279 --> 01:36:36.720
40 straight days of services.
01:36:36.800 --> 01:36:37.760
Do you know what that was?
01:36:37.920 --> 01:36:42.560
That was the week that Pittsburgh said, if you have one more service in that church, we're gonna arrest you.
01:36:42.640 --> 01:36:45.199
So then on Sunday I said, we're gonna have 40 straight days of services.
01:36:45.439 --> 01:36:48.560
If you're gonna go to jail, you might as well really go to jail.
01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:51.680
Did they ever arrest me?
01:36:52.000 --> 01:36:54.000
Did they ever padlock the building?
01:36:54.319 --> 01:36:54.640
No.
01:36:55.119 --> 01:36:58.720
Did somebody hear about it and get ticked off and give us a build bigger building?
01:36:58.960 --> 01:37:01.279
Did they sue us when we were in that building?
01:37:01.600 --> 01:37:04.479
Did somebody hear about that and buy more property for us?
01:37:04.720 --> 01:37:06.479
Did we get kicked out of that one?
01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:11.760
Did somebody hear about that and build us a huge church that seeds 1500 going on 3100?
01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:13.680
Keep going forward.
01:37:13.840 --> 01:37:15.760
Don't let anybody stop up your well.
01:37:16.000 --> 01:37:18.000
Keep digging, keep moving.
01:37:19.680 --> 01:37:21.760
Somebody shout, dig another well.
01:37:26.880 --> 01:37:28.479
So they filled up his wells.
01:37:28.560 --> 01:37:31.199
Finally, Abimelech ordered Isaac to leave the country.
01:37:31.359 --> 01:37:32.319
Deportation.
01:37:32.479 --> 01:37:36.239
Go somewhere else, he said, for you've become too powerful for us.
01:37:36.399 --> 01:37:41.600
So Isaac moved away to the Jurar Valley, where he set up their tents and settled down.
01:37:41.760 --> 01:37:47.119
He reopened the wells his father had dug, which the Philistines had filled in after Abraham's death.
01:37:47.359 --> 01:37:50.079
Isaac also restored the names Abraham had given them.
01:37:50.319 --> 01:37:54.800
Isaac's servants also dug in the Jurar Valley and discovered a well of fresh water.
01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:58.159
But then the shepherds from Jurar came and claimed the spring.
01:37:58.319 --> 01:38:02.079
This is our water, they said, and they argued over it with Isaac's herdsmen.
01:38:02.159 --> 01:38:05.359
So Isaac named the well Esek, which means argument.
01:38:05.520 --> 01:38:09.119
Isaac's men then dug another well, Ibn said, dig another well.
01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:11.760
But again there was a dispute over it.
01:38:11.920 --> 01:38:16.079
So Isaac named it Sidnah, which means hostility, abandoning that one.
01:38:16.239 --> 01:38:19.760
Isaac moved on and dug another well, Ibn said, dig another well.
01:38:20.399 --> 01:38:23.680
But this time there was no dispute over it.
01:38:23.840 --> 01:38:24.880
Say this out loud.
01:38:25.039 --> 01:38:28.720
If I don't quit, the devil will quit.
01:38:29.039 --> 01:38:33.680
That's right, because perseverance is not a fruit of hell, it's a fruit of the spirit.
01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:45.279
If you keep going, the devil's got the use to do to react to a Christian that won't stop, that won't be defeated, that tightens the tape on their glass and keeps swinging.
01:38:47.279 --> 01:38:49.119
Shout out, don't quit.
01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:51.439
Shout out, dig another well.
01:38:55.039 --> 01:38:56.479
Dig another one.
01:38:57.039 --> 01:38:58.800
Then nobody, then they left him alone.
01:38:58.880 --> 01:39:00.800
The devil's like, this guy's nuts.
01:39:02.560 --> 01:39:05.439
The plan in Pittsburgh, let me read the rest.
01:39:06.640 --> 01:39:10.159
So he named it Rehoboth, which means open space.
01:39:10.399 --> 01:39:15.359
For he said, at last the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in the land.
01:39:15.520 --> 01:39:18.560
That's what this new building is for right now in Pittsburgh until we outgrow it.
01:39:18.800 --> 01:39:22.079
From no parking to 990 parking spots.
01:39:23.039 --> 01:39:24.239
Industrial park.
01:39:26.399 --> 01:39:28.319
You know, and then they're still writing in the paper.
01:39:28.640 --> 01:39:30.399
What do you have to say to the neighbors that are complaining?
01:39:30.560 --> 01:39:31.680
I said, there's no neighbors.
01:39:32.560 --> 01:39:33.760
It's in an industrial park.
01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:35.920
There's one house that's within a mile and a half of it.
01:39:36.159 --> 01:39:37.039
And he's not complaining.
01:39:37.359 --> 01:39:39.199
So just tell them to take their medication.
01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:43.039
People always complain.
01:39:43.359 --> 01:39:45.760
Complain, you don't even live near the place, you idiot.
01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:49.520
I D I O T, idiot.
01:39:50.079 --> 01:39:53.119
If you're here for Hispanic brother, idiot.
01:39:55.920 --> 01:39:58.159
I know how to insult in many languages.
01:39:58.399 --> 01:39:59.520
That's the first thing I learned.
01:39:59.600 --> 01:40:01.680
I already have French covered for Canada.
01:40:04.880 --> 01:40:05.199
Yeah.
01:40:05.439 --> 01:40:07.039
Somebody's always complaining.
01:40:07.199 --> 01:40:08.800
Somebody's always griping.
01:40:09.039 --> 01:40:18.319
If you let culture or your family or your friends dictate the level of your prosperity, you're not going to go very high in life.
01:40:18.479 --> 01:40:21.920
There's people that are here that nobody in your family's ever owned a car.
01:40:22.000 --> 01:40:23.039
They all take the bus.
01:40:23.119 --> 01:40:24.640
And you're going to be the first one to get a truck.
01:40:27.279 --> 01:40:29.359
You know how much insurance is for that?
01:40:29.600 --> 01:40:30.239
Do you?
01:40:32.560 --> 01:40:33.600
I'm getting a truck.
01:40:34.319 --> 01:40:36.159
I don't want to get stabbed on a bus.
01:40:37.359 --> 01:40:39.279
I'm done with public transportation.
01:40:39.439 --> 01:40:43.439
I'm not spending two hours more every day away from my family taking the bus.
01:40:43.520 --> 01:40:47.680
I'm going to have faith for a car so I can spend more time with my wife and my child.
01:40:47.840 --> 01:40:49.680
I'm telling you, you're going to increase.
01:40:49.840 --> 01:40:56.399
And every effort to block your well, God's given you a Holy Ghost shuffle today to dig that thing up.
01:40:59.600 --> 01:41:01.119
Let me see the scripture.
01:41:01.359 --> 01:41:04.640
At last the Lord has given us space to prosper in this land.
01:41:07.680 --> 01:41:08.720
23.
01:41:11.279 --> 01:41:14.159
And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:14.800
Keep going.
01:41:14.960 --> 01:41:19.600
And the Lord appeared unto him that night and said, I am the Lord the God of Abraham, thy father.
01:41:19.760 --> 01:41:21.439
Fear not, for I'm with thee.
01:41:21.680 --> 01:41:22.720
And I will bless thee.
01:41:22.800 --> 01:41:23.600
You know what that means?
01:41:23.760 --> 01:41:27.520
You think you're blessed now, and you're already increasing, but I'm going to bless you more.
01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:31.039
There is no limit to the amount that God will bless you.
01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:37.680
And I will multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
01:41:37.920 --> 01:41:39.520
And he built an altar there.
01:41:39.600 --> 01:41:40.880
That's what you're doing today.
01:41:41.039 --> 01:41:52.800
You had plenty of things you could be doing Sunday morning, but you decided to carve out two hours and 29 minutes and 10 seconds as of right now to be in God's house and to hear the word, and you're building an altar for God.
01:41:52.960 --> 01:41:54.880
I'm not worshiping the gods of this world.
01:41:54.960 --> 01:41:58.239
I've come on Sunday to tell God I give you all the glory.
01:41:58.399 --> 01:42:01.920
You are my portion, you are my blessing, you are my strength.
01:42:02.079 --> 01:42:05.520
And as the praises go up, the blessings come back down.
01:42:07.520 --> 01:42:10.800
And called the name of the Lord and pitched his tent there.
01:42:11.119 --> 01:42:15.359
And there Isaac's servants dug another well.
01:42:16.159 --> 01:42:20.079
Once he even had peace and prosperity, he kept digging.
01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:22.720
Let me see in Galatians 4.28.
01:42:23.840 --> 01:42:25.520
Galatians 4.28.
01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:28.239
G-A-L-A-T-I-A-N-S.
01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:32.720
Now we, this is New Testament.
01:42:32.960 --> 01:42:37.600
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of the promise.
01:42:37.840 --> 01:42:38.479
NLT?
01:42:38.880 --> 01:42:39.760
Let me see NLT.
01:42:39.840 --> 01:42:40.960
Galatians 4.28.
01:42:41.359 --> 01:42:42.399
Oh, you caught it up there.
01:42:42.479 --> 01:42:43.199
Who's clapping?
01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:43.760
Chopper?
01:42:44.239 --> 01:42:49.199
And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac was.
01:42:49.279 --> 01:42:50.640
You know why I'm reading that to you?
01:42:50.800 --> 01:42:55.680
Because if you don't understand these scriptures, you think we're just reading Bible stories.
01:42:56.000 --> 01:43:02.640
But when you understand that the Bible says all these things were given to us as examples or examples.
01:43:02.880 --> 01:43:03.760
Say this with me.
01:43:04.000 --> 01:43:06.159
The devil has no new tricks.
01:43:07.439 --> 01:43:11.279
So when you read how he dealt with Isaac, you read what he does to you.
01:43:11.439 --> 01:43:17.279
And when you read how Isaac overcame it, you dear brothers and sisters are children of that same promise.
01:43:17.439 --> 01:43:18.560
Just like Isaac.
01:43:18.640 --> 01:43:22.880
What God did for Abraham, what God did for Isaac, what God did for Jacob.
01:43:23.039 --> 01:43:24.319
What God did for David.
01:43:24.479 --> 01:43:25.840
What God did for Solomon.
01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:27.119
He's doing for you.
01:43:27.279 --> 01:43:28.800
Because you're not one of the better.
01:43:33.119 --> 01:43:38.960
I'm telling you, you're not like you might look like everybody else, but you're not like everybody else.
01:43:45.840 --> 01:43:47.199
Then you say amen.
01:43:48.000 --> 01:43:53.199
And I don't know why I preach this and then get surprised when the Lord speaks to me to dig another well.
01:43:54.479 --> 01:43:56.079
More than happy with four.
01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:58.079
It's four more than I intended to have.
01:43:58.239 --> 01:44:00.000
But now Toronto's another well.
01:44:00.319 --> 01:44:01.520
And you dig another one.
01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:10.720
And then I think back that three years ago we got pulled into court and we're on nightly news every night that the devil was trying to shut down our church in Pittsburgh.
01:44:10.880 --> 01:44:17.119
People in Pittsburgh had to park two miles away and take shuttles, and it was 11 degrees outside.
01:44:17.359 --> 01:44:19.199
17 degrees.
01:44:19.600 --> 01:44:22.640
That should bring the church down to 60 people.
01:44:22.880 --> 01:44:24.880
For that was the devil's plan.
01:44:25.119 --> 01:44:31.279
The devil has a real plan to block your multiplication and your marriage and destroy your family.
01:44:31.439 --> 01:44:33.119
But you're not like everybody else.
01:44:33.279 --> 01:44:36.239
You are children of the promise, just like Isaac.
01:44:36.399 --> 01:44:42.319
Not only are you getting a new well back, you're gonna give another well, and the devil will try to shut you down.
01:44:42.560 --> 01:44:46.159
It's gonna find out you're gonna know what you did to multiply.
01:44:46.239 --> 01:44:48.640
You're not gonna know what you did to multiply.
01:44:48.800 --> 01:44:51.359
You're gonna know what you did to multiply.
01:44:57.680 --> 01:44:59.039
Can you say amen?
01:44:59.840 --> 01:45:05.520
I'm sure whatever devil was assigned to our ministry is under disciplinary review in hell.
01:45:06.000 --> 01:45:10.720
Because not only did the church in Pittsburgh not shrink, it's jammed.
01:45:11.199 --> 01:45:15.680
It's now the largest gathering of any church in a service in Pittsburgh in four years.
01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:20.319
And I'm not, I'm not, I don't, which is great, but I'm not comparing myself to Pittsburgh.
01:45:20.399 --> 01:45:24.800
I'm looking at my my fathers in the Lord, Bishop white up on them, and seeing what's possible.
01:45:24.960 --> 01:45:34.159
That one day the Steelers will reroute their games and the Cowboys will stop having games on Sunday because there's too many people coming to church and they can't get people to come to the stadium.
01:45:34.319 --> 01:45:35.920
We're in revival, my friend.
01:45:36.079 --> 01:45:51.199
We're digging some wells, we're digging the dirt that the devil put in the wells in Texas and Pittsburgh, the dirt that he put on Catherine Coleman's ministry, the dirt that he put on FM Bosworth, we're taking the Holy Ghost shovel and digging that thing out.
01:45:57.439 --> 01:45:59.119
And so I'm preaching today.
01:45:59.279 --> 01:46:02.560
One of the reasons I had almost no notes and didn't use them anyway.
01:46:03.680 --> 01:46:08.560
Is I wanted to tell you out of my spirit, the devil that's trying to shut down your one well.
01:46:08.960 --> 01:46:11.359
In four and a half years, now there's five.
01:46:11.760 --> 01:46:18.319
The devil can't determine your destiny unless you believe what he says and repeat what he says.
01:46:18.560 --> 01:46:23.439
Notice all these testimonies we played, they said at best I'll use a walker for the rest of my life.
01:46:23.600 --> 01:46:25.760
Who are you to tell somebody their future?
01:46:26.079 --> 01:46:29.119
You can tell somebody they had a stroke, you can't tell them they'll never talk again.
01:46:29.199 --> 01:46:30.399
That's called prophecy.
01:46:30.640 --> 01:46:36.720
You can't tell what the future is, but the Bible holds your future, and the Bible doesn't hold a bad future for you.
01:46:36.880 --> 01:46:40.800
It says, if you're mine, I know the plan I have for you, says the Lord.
01:46:41.039 --> 01:46:43.119
I know the plan I have for you.
01:46:43.359 --> 01:46:49.039
Plans to prosper you and never to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:54.319
So check this out.
01:46:54.479 --> 01:46:56.560
And I close, close with this.
01:46:57.920 --> 01:47:00.960
Toronto opens up as I'm trying to finish the Pittsburgh church.
01:47:01.039 --> 01:47:03.119
We still have four million to go on that.
01:47:03.359 --> 01:47:05.199
Where's my other uh pages up there?
01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:06.960
Are there pages on this?
01:47:07.600 --> 01:47:08.960
Can somebody run to me real quick?
01:47:09.199 --> 01:47:12.960
I know it's not part of your job, but God will bless you.
01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:16.079
Thanks, brother.
01:47:16.880 --> 01:47:17.199
So?
01:47:17.840 --> 01:47:20.479
Remember, I said I want to go to Venezuela as soon as you can?
01:47:20.720 --> 01:47:27.760
When I went to rededicate America, 250 leaders from Venezuela and Colombia met me there and said we have a plan to reach 8 million people.
01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:31.680
The president backs it in 300 cities on August 1st.
01:47:31.920 --> 01:47:33.119
And we'd like you to be there.
01:47:33.279 --> 01:47:36.159
We'd like you to do one city and Adonis to do another city.
01:47:36.319 --> 01:47:37.199
And so there's that.
01:47:37.359 --> 01:47:39.520
We're gonna take in shipping containers of food.
01:47:39.680 --> 01:47:41.279
Everybody said, number one.
01:47:41.840 --> 01:47:44.159
Yeah, then you got Toronto, number two.
01:47:44.319 --> 01:47:54.399
And then you got a guy calls me two weekends ago and says, There's a building near where your building meets right now that they're gonna put on the market.
01:47:54.800 --> 01:47:57.039
But the guy likes your church.
01:47:57.279 --> 01:48:04.800
And he said, if Jonathan wants it for the church, he said, if I sell it to developers, I'm gonna sell it for 8.5 million, which is what it appraises for.
01:48:04.880 --> 01:48:10.239
But if Jonathan wants it, I'm gonna work something out with him where we can get it in, which he's not, you know, he's still gotta pay.
01:48:10.479 --> 01:48:22.159
And that's where I got the theme, because the old businessman I was talking to, when he said that to me, I said, Well, I'm still doing phase two in Pittsburgh, and then the Lord just started spoke to me to do this one in Toronto.
01:48:22.239 --> 01:48:25.520
But when that came out of my mouth, I didn't like the tone of voice that came out of it.
01:48:25.760 --> 01:48:27.520
It sounded like the people I don't like.
01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:29.760
I said, but who cares?
01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:31.920
And the old guy said, That's right.
01:48:32.239 --> 01:48:36.479
You don't need faith for what you can do, you need faith for the impossible.
01:48:36.960 --> 01:48:38.880
And so I'm at four o'clock today.
01:48:38.960 --> 01:48:40.000
I'm going to look at the properties.
01:48:40.159 --> 01:48:41.279
I can't remember how many acres it is.
01:48:44.000 --> 01:48:44.880
It's right near here.
01:48:45.439 --> 01:48:48.960
So uh five acres, 50,000 square foot building.
01:48:49.039 --> 01:48:51.840
Obviously, we we can use it in tandem with this.
01:48:52.239 --> 01:49:00.319
I'm not saying uh people are watching from here, but it would give us permanence and an owned building for a church that's multiplying rapidly.
01:49:00.640 --> 01:49:04.159
50,000, 50, I think it would build down to 41,000 square feet.
01:49:04.239 --> 01:49:07.119
That's just slightly smaller than the one in Pittsburgh.
01:49:07.359 --> 01:49:11.359
And so I'm looking at that at four while doing Toronto and while doing this.
01:49:11.760 --> 01:49:19.279
And so if the Bible's not true, you'll know, because I'll be on a park bench covered in the newspaper in about 20 days.
01:49:20.239 --> 01:49:27.760
But I that ever since that crusade in Philadelphia, I've been out on a tightrope walking on the water with Jesus bidding me come.
01:49:27.920 --> 01:49:35.039
And the word is holding me up on that water, and the waves that should be drowning us aren't drowning us because we're held up by the word of God.
01:49:35.199 --> 01:49:36.399
Can you say amen?
01:49:37.520 --> 01:49:38.479
So I wrote this down.
01:49:38.640 --> 01:49:40.720
I want everybody in Pittsburgh to hear and everybody here.
01:49:41.199 --> 01:49:42.880
I want you to be the first to know.
01:49:43.439 --> 01:49:46.159
Three major doors just swung open at the same time.
01:49:46.560 --> 01:49:48.479
Number one, a miracle in Canada.
01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:54.000
In early May, I felt strongly to go to Toronto for one night with only nine days' notice.
01:49:54.159 --> 01:49:59.680
The response was so overwhelming that if the venue hadn't stretched to accommodate us, they let our people sit in a lobby.
01:50:00.319 --> 01:50:02.640
We would have had to turn away more than 140 people.
01:50:03.119 --> 01:50:09.600
What was supposed to be one night turned into a full week because there was an unmistakable momentum there.
01:50:09.920 --> 01:50:14.319
The same kind we felt in Fort Worth and Los Angeles before those works launched.
01:50:14.800 --> 01:50:15.920
The challenge was obvious.
01:50:16.079 --> 01:50:19.920
You can't effectively run a Canadian church from an American office.
01:50:20.399 --> 01:50:23.119
Government processing alone would take 12 to 18 months.
01:50:23.600 --> 01:50:26.640
Then something happened that I've honestly never seen before.
01:50:27.199 --> 01:50:37.359
Before we ever arrived to preach, a pastor had already contacted us saying he felt strongly to hand his church completely over to Revival Today.
01:50:37.600 --> 01:50:41.279
That changed everything overnight, all the paperwork and everything.
01:50:41.600 --> 01:50:45.920
Instead of losing momentum, waiting a year and a half, we were able to move immediately.
01:50:46.079 --> 01:50:51.840
And last night we officially announced Revival Today Toronto, launching Sunday, September 8th at 10 a.m.
01:50:52.239 --> 01:50:55.760
Church number five and our first international location.
01:50:56.720 --> 01:51:00.960
Number two, a permanent home in Texas.
01:51:01.279 --> 01:51:20.560
A pastor in a pastor in Fort Worth was preparing to sell his beautiful property to developers for millions.
01:51:20.800 --> 01:51:23.680
Before signing anything, he reached out to us first.
01:51:23.920 --> 01:51:25.119
His words were simple.
01:51:25.279 --> 01:51:27.039
I'd rather see it stay at church.
01:51:27.199 --> 01:51:33.199
Not only did he offer us the opportunity first, he offered to work with us to make it happen at a greatly reduced price.
01:51:33.520 --> 01:51:36.399
This property is exactly where we need to be.
01:51:36.560 --> 01:51:42.159
It gives revival today, Texas, permanence, stability, and room for continued growth.
01:51:42.399 --> 01:51:45.199
These kinds of opportunities do not sit on the table long.
01:51:45.359 --> 01:51:48.000
Number three, an open door into Venezuela.
01:51:48.239 --> 01:51:55.520
For years, Venezuela became one of the hardest places in the world for outspoken churches, evangelists, and ministers who refused political compromise.
01:51:55.920 --> 01:52:04.159
We were told by knowledgeable contacts in Washington, D.C., I call it the White House, that large-scale evangelism there was likely going to be impossible for another 18 months.
01:52:04.560 --> 01:52:06.159
Then suddenly everything changed.
01:52:06.640 --> 01:52:15.199
New national leadership organized a gathering of 10,000 pastors and publicly expressed a desire to see a massive gospel thrust across the nation.
01:52:15.600 --> 01:52:24.159
Adoles and I were personally invited to help in a massive effort to reach 8 million people in 300 locations beginning August 1st.
01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:25.600
Think about that.
01:52:25.840 --> 01:52:31.359
There are millions of people under the age of 35 in Venezuela who have never once heard the gospel.
01:52:32.720 --> 01:52:34.560
And we're not going empty-handed.
01:52:34.800 --> 01:52:41.520
We're making plans to bring shipping containers of food to feed hurting families while bringing the gospel to the nation at the same time.
01:52:41.840 --> 01:52:45.680
Would you help us move quickly while these doors are wide open?
01:52:46.560 --> 01:52:52.239
Adolescent are asking God to speak to the heart of someone to become the seventh person.
01:52:52.880 --> 01:52:56.319
By the way, there's people with a lot of money that go to this church.
01:52:56.479 --> 01:52:57.840
I know who all of you are, I think.
01:52:58.800 --> 01:53:00.159
This is not geared at anyone here.
01:53:00.319 --> 01:53:01.600
We've here, Pittsburgh.
01:53:01.680 --> 01:53:03.520
I'm on Real America's Voice News.
01:53:03.600 --> 01:53:05.920
I'm on Real America's Faith and Family, and I'm on YouTube.
01:53:06.159 --> 01:53:08.479
So this is there's no no one owes me anything.
01:53:08.720 --> 01:53:12.000
No, if nobody ever gave another dollar, you don't have to write me a letter and tell me why.
01:53:12.079 --> 01:53:13.760
You never had to send the dollar in the first place.
01:53:14.319 --> 01:53:16.880
But God, that's six people now that have sown a million.
01:53:17.039 --> 01:53:19.920
Another guy pledged a million that he's gonna give in September.
01:53:20.159 --> 01:53:23.680
And if somebody wants to be number seven before that guy, I'm just throwing it out there.
01:53:23.760 --> 01:53:24.960
Because there are people like me.
01:53:25.119 --> 01:53:27.920
I've given a million before, March 2023.
01:53:28.399 --> 01:53:29.600
I sowed a million at once.
01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:31.520
I'm gonna sew a million at once for my personal account.
01:53:31.600 --> 01:53:35.359
That's why I keep I'm at 550,000 in the last 10 months.
01:53:35.680 --> 01:53:40.000
And I only make uh I make 440,000 a year, and I've given 550 in the last 10 months.
01:53:40.079 --> 01:53:42.079
So I'm expecting an audit.
01:53:45.119 --> 01:53:46.079
It's all legal.
01:53:46.880 --> 01:53:48.159
Will you stand with us?
01:53:48.560 --> 01:53:51.680
As you give today, you're touching three nations at once.
01:53:52.159 --> 01:53:58.000
When you give, please include in the memo what you're believing God to do for you personally.
01:53:58.319 --> 01:54:05.760
And I promise you, and I promise you, you're not gonna find a bunch of shredded envelopes in a dumpster with the checks taken out and nobody got prayed for.
01:54:06.079 --> 01:54:10.960
Adoles and I will take special time to join our faith with you and pray.
01:54:11.359 --> 01:54:13.199
Thank you for moving with us quickly.
01:54:13.520 --> 01:54:14.720
The window's open now.
01:54:14.800 --> 01:54:17.359
I mean, when I say quickly, I'm meaning at four o'clock about Texas.
01:54:17.600 --> 01:54:20.000
And I already met about Venezuela, and Toronto's already announced.
01:54:20.239 --> 01:54:22.159
Love and blessings, Jonathan and Adoles.
01:54:22.239 --> 01:54:23.119
So no pressure.
01:54:23.279 --> 01:54:28.880
But what I wanted to do for the offering today, put um Proverbs 11, 24, and 25 up.
01:54:29.039 --> 01:54:31.199
You can do it in the New Living Translation.
01:54:37.279 --> 01:54:39.760
Proverbs 11, 24, and 25.
01:54:41.039 --> 01:54:44.479
Give freely and become more wealthy.
01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:47.520
Be stingy and lose everything.
01:54:48.079 --> 01:54:48.880
25.
01:54:49.520 --> 01:54:51.680
The generous will prosper.
01:54:52.159 --> 01:54:56.000
And those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
01:54:56.239 --> 01:54:59.520
Do 25 in the King James talks about watering.
01:55:02.399 --> 01:55:06.640
He that watereth shall be watered also himself.
01:55:07.039 --> 01:55:11.359
So I have tried to show, I haven't tried to show, I just showed it.
01:55:12.000 --> 01:55:14.319
How many of you saw when we've been building these churches?
01:55:14.479 --> 01:55:20.319
Almost every church I went to, I found out what they were building, asked how much it cost and paid for it.
01:55:20.640 --> 01:55:23.760
What sense does that make when you need eight million dollars for your church?
01:55:23.920 --> 01:55:33.760
What you're supposed to do is call everybody you're supporting and say you're cutting back until you get your church built, which is why most pastors spend less than six months in the new building they build and then have to retire.
01:55:34.000 --> 01:55:35.520
Because you do it in the flesh.
01:55:35.760 --> 01:55:40.720
But the Bible says if you water others, you yourself will be watered.
01:55:41.039 --> 01:55:43.439
Watered speaks of causing something to grow.
01:55:43.840 --> 01:55:44.640
And I want to say this.
01:55:44.800 --> 01:55:48.720
Maybe I got a little PTSD from the last 25 years that I'm taking out on you.
01:55:49.119 --> 01:55:51.039
So forgive me if it comes out with an edge.
01:55:51.359 --> 01:55:58.079
But these people that teach that it's heresy to tell people that if they give, God will multiply their gift back to them.
01:55:58.399 --> 01:56:01.279
There's a preacher that I like very much who said the opposite.
01:56:01.520 --> 01:56:03.119
Put Luke 6.38 up.
01:56:03.359 --> 01:56:04.960
His name's Jesus.
01:56:07.760 --> 01:56:09.279
Luke 6.38.
01:56:09.760 --> 01:56:11.279
Plain as day.
01:56:11.840 --> 01:56:15.199
Give and it shall be given unto you.
01:56:15.520 --> 01:56:22.079
Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.
01:56:22.319 --> 01:56:22.960
NLT.
01:56:24.319 --> 01:56:27.199
Give and it shall come back to you.
01:56:27.840 --> 01:56:29.359
Give and you will receive.
01:56:29.520 --> 01:56:30.479
Give in what?
01:56:31.680 --> 01:56:36.640
So not only is it not wrong to tell people that if they give, they'll receive, it's wrong not to.
01:56:36.800 --> 01:56:39.359
You're leaving out part of what Jesus said.
01:56:39.600 --> 01:56:43.279
You think Jesus needs our donations to keep his thing going?
01:56:43.520 --> 01:56:49.439
He'll never be in need, he never has been in need, and he'll never have any needs that need fills.
01:56:49.760 --> 01:56:53.920
The reason he instituted the offering is not so you can help him.
01:56:54.319 --> 01:57:00.159
It's because he doesn't want to provide with gold coins and fish's mouths or ravens with bread and meat.
01:57:00.319 --> 01:57:02.560
He's not looking to brush fish and birds.
01:57:02.720 --> 01:57:04.720
He wants to bless his sons and daughters.
01:57:04.880 --> 01:57:07.680
And he said, if you give, you will receive.
01:57:07.840 --> 01:57:13.840
I will open the windows of heaven and put out a blessing that's so great you won't have room enough to take it all in.
01:57:14.000 --> 01:57:15.760
Try it, let me prove it to you.
01:57:16.319 --> 01:57:21.760
So I honestly never gave to any of those churches on the road to help them.
01:57:22.000 --> 01:57:23.600
I did it to help me.
01:57:23.840 --> 01:57:25.920
I thought I can try to save up for this.
01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:32.640
I can have men's pancake breakfasts and car washes and capital campaigns, or I can try it God's supernatural way.
01:57:32.800 --> 01:57:37.920
If it's not enough to meet your need, sow it a seed, believing for the harvest of the thing that you need.
01:57:38.079 --> 01:57:43.439
I didn't have four million dollars for a church, but I had 71,000 for Pastor Michael's children's room.
01:57:43.680 --> 01:57:51.199
I had I did have a million and a half over a year and a half to give to Pastor Dean in New Mexico,$41,000 a month until it's paid off.
01:57:51.359 --> 01:57:52.159
I was doing that.
01:57:52.399 --> 01:57:56.720
What I don't have, what I have is not enough for that, but I'm gonna give what I do have.
01:57:56.880 --> 01:57:59.520
And then in it comes.
01:57:59.760 --> 01:58:01.920
Lady I've never met from California.
01:58:02.079 --> 01:58:04.159
I got saved under Billy Graham's ministry.
01:58:04.319 --> 01:58:08.720
I got healed under Catherine Kuhlman's ministry, and it's delighted me to watch you carry on their work.
01:58:08.880 --> 01:58:09.920
85 years old.
01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:13.760
Here's some money for your mission: 1.26 million in December.
01:58:14.000 --> 01:58:20.560
Then another million from another uh uh uh uh family that asked me if I'd fly out to their house to pick it up.
01:58:20.640 --> 01:58:21.840
That's supernatural.
01:58:22.000 --> 01:58:25.039
No, no, no appeal, no push, no capital campaign.
01:58:25.199 --> 01:58:26.399
And they're listen now.
01:58:26.560 --> 01:58:34.640
In Texas, California, Arizona, Toronto, or Pittsburgh, there's no banker that can say we gave that church that money so they can do what they do.
01:58:34.800 --> 01:58:39.279
When they sit at a steakhouse smoking their cigars and say, Did you give it to them P and C?
01:58:39.439 --> 01:58:41.199
No, I thought you did Wells Fargo.
01:58:41.279 --> 01:58:43.199
Oh, we thought you did Fifth Third Bank.
01:58:43.279 --> 01:58:44.239
No, none of us did.
01:58:44.319 --> 01:58:45.279
Was it a credit union?
01:58:45.439 --> 01:58:45.600
No.
01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:52.079
Not only did the credit union not give us them money, they chained off their parking lot so that nobody could park in their lot.
01:58:52.399 --> 01:58:56.000
But God doesn't need banks, God doesn't need financiers.
01:58:56.239 --> 01:59:02.159
God has all the silver and all the gold, and when you give into his kingdom, he doesn't give you a little bag.
01:59:02.319 --> 01:59:11.039
He says, see if I won't open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that's so great, you won't have room enough to take it all in.
01:59:11.279 --> 01:59:12.640
Can you say amen?
01:59:13.439 --> 01:59:17.039
So I'm gonna do something here at the end, every hand lifted.
01:59:17.279 --> 01:59:28.720
Father, as we get set to make these next seven months by your supernatural power, June through December, to be like 10 years of progress.
01:59:29.039 --> 01:59:31.680
Because we see that you're coming soon.
01:59:32.000 --> 01:59:39.439
We see all the signs of revelation and Ezekiel and Daniel lining up before our eyes.
01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:45.840
And you told us to redeem the time, for the days are evil, to move with speed.
01:59:46.319 --> 01:59:52.239
So, as a ministry, as we take you at your word, I thank you that you fulfill your word.
01:59:52.560 --> 01:59:56.720
You said that no one should ever give under pressure.
01:59:57.039 --> 02:00:00.640
Let every man give as they're directed by the Spirit.
02:00:00.880 --> 02:00:10.079
So I pray maybe for some, for the first time maybe, that they would hear your voice as to what you would have them to sow.
02:00:10.399 --> 02:00:30.479
And as they take what they could use for their thing and use it for the expansion of your kingdom, I pray you would multiply their businesses and their families and their children in such a pronounced supernatural way that even other rich people would have to admit you have help from God.
02:00:30.720 --> 02:00:31.920
Nobody can do that.
02:00:32.159 --> 02:00:42.880
I pray that every blessing that you listen in that Bible when people give would be would pour into the hands of those that take you at your word today.
02:00:43.840 --> 02:00:46.000
In Jesus' name.
02:00:51.439 --> 02:00:54.800
