1 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Hello everyone. My name in Sergio Romos. 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: I'm for Carlsbad, New Mexico, and I wanted to share 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: testimony with about fasting and praying. For the last few 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 2: years we've been following Jonathan's ministry. I was exposed to 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: fasting about two years ago. I was fasting, but it 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: was just more I wasn't eating, I wasn't even praying. 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: And God delivered us both from alcohol addiction, but there 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: was still other things going on that, you know, I 9 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 2: really wanted to see God moving. And one of the 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: bigger ones is that I served in the military for 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: a couple of years. I came back, I you know, 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 2: was dealing with things from Iraq and things like that. 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: And I was not a good husband. I was a 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: worse father. I was ugly to my kids. One of 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: my kids actually pushed him away. 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: So when you turned eighteen, he left the stroke of midnight, 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: he left our house. I resented myself, my family, my wife, 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: my other two kids, and I just had to get 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: to a place. 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: I was like, God, you know, do something. 21 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: So this past year, actually before we wanted to, we 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: gave up drinking. 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: I felt like drinking kept us like war. 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 2: Modern Christians you know, just sitting on the fence, couldn't 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: make a choice. So the other thing is that I 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: knew God was calling me to fast, and the enemy 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: kept coming. 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: Hey, just drink. Your son's not going to come back. 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: Don't worry about him. He'll come back when God brings him. 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: I was discouraging every single way. And so this past year, 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: after we completed our first year fasting, I had told 32 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: my wife, I don't know about you, but I got 33 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: to do this fast for my youngest. I want him home, That's. 34 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: What I want. 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: And so my wife said, yeah, you know, I'll do 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: it with you. And so we started fasting and praying. 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: We're watching the services this past year. Pastor Jonathan was 38 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: showing the whole time. You know, it was the middle 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: of the month. I was like, Lord, and get serious 40 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: with you. And I'm sorry, you know, for doubting you 41 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: and for this unbelief, but I know you can deliver. 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: There was actually another brother, and you probably heard his testimony, 43 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: Anthony's for Carlsbad as well. His family actually pioneered for 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: us several things, and one of them was they had 45 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: a daughter that kind of left was doing her own 46 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: thing when we were just living in the world, whatever 47 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: she was doing. They fasted and prayed for their child 48 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: and they came back. 49 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: So I was to a point where like, God, hey, 50 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: I want what they want. 51 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: But God was telling me, you want what they want, 52 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: but you don't want to put in the work that 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: they did. And I was like, okay, you know, like 54 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: if you're a Jim person, you want the results, but 55 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: you don't want the work. 56 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: And that's what God was telling me. 57 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: So okay, all right, well God, you know I'm calling 58 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: you out on that. I want what you did for them, 59 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: and you're the god of more than enough. 60 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: I want what you did for them. 61 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: So me and my wife started doing two days of 62 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: fasting and praying. We were still praying throughout the week, 63 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: so we kept going the I was like, you know, Lord, I. 64 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: Don't know when you're gonna do it, but you're gonna 65 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: do it. I'm believing you. 66 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: Sometime this year you're gonna bring You're gonna bring him back. 67 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: So it was in February of this year, was on 68 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: our daughter's birthday, and I kept believing God, hopefully my 69 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: son will come by because at first he was Hey 70 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: I'm coming by. Hey I'm not, And so I was like, 71 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: all right, well, you know, I was a little heartbroken, 72 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: but I was trying to remain strong for my family. 73 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: He walks in and I just loved. 74 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: Him unconditionally, with the love that I knew God loves 75 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 2: each and every one of his children. And one of 76 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: my kids asked, so, don't you care what he did? 77 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: I said, I honestly, I don't care what he did. 78 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: I'm just glad he's here. And God reminded me of 79 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: the story about the prodigal son when the son left, 80 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: he came back and the father accepted him. The whole 81 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: time I was wrestling with God, like, God, when are 82 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: you going to bring him back? 83 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: When are you going to bring him back? 84 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: Why don't you change him? And the whole time God 85 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: was saying, I'm waiting on you to change, not him. 86 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: And so he came back. We had and we had, 87 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: you know, reconciled a couple of things, but he still 88 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: working in Texas and I was like, man, Lord, I 89 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: really want for my birthday, nothing else, just for my 90 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: son to come home. 91 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: That's all I want. 92 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: I've lost four and a half years. I don't want 93 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: to live like this no more. I just want my 94 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: family made whole. 95 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,119 Speaker 1: I want the void filled. 96 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: Lord, you're not a liar. 97 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: I know you can come through, and we're believing it. 98 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 2: So we went up to Pittsburgh just to you know, 99 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: see the church campuses up there for one of our kids. 100 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: We went up there to a service.

We're raising up 129 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 4: a family in Texas that don't just know about God. 130 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: They know God. 131 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: They've handled his power, they've seen his power flow through it. 132 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 4: You're coming out of here to that caring, fresh fire, 133 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 4: fresh unknowing take, never to take another backwards stamp. Take 134 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 4: your Bibles if you would go to Matthew chapter twenty four, 135 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 4: Bed four hundred and eleven in the eight am service, 136 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 4: which is a record for eight am, and obviously I 137 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 4: don't have the numbers yet for this service. Book should 138 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 4: be a record record Sunday at Revival today. Think how 139 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: much bigger the church would have got if Katik and 140 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 4: WTA wouldn't have stopped running those stories Matthew twenty four. 141 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 4: In verse three, they asked Jesus put up on the 142 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 4: screen Matthew twenty four to three, will there be any 143 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 4: signs ahead of time to signal your return and the 144 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 4: end of the world. So just not to assume everybody 145 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 4: knows everything about the Bible. Jesus died on the cross, 146 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 4: he was dead three days, he was raised from the dead. 147 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: That's a historical fact. 148 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 4: That if anybody questions you on the resurrection, you never 149 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: have to say, well, that's just something I believe in 150 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: my faith. 151 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: It's not something you believe in your faith anymore you. 152 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 4: Believe that George Washington was the first president of the 153 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: United States. 154 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: It's a historical fact. 155 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: If you threw all the Bibles away, there's ten times 156 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 4: more evidence to prove that Jesus rose from the dead, 157 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 4: not lived, rose from the dead than there is that 158 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: Julius Caesar ever existed. One professor at McMasters University said, 159 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 4: if it wasn't Jesus, the resurrection would be the greatest attested. 160 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: To fact of ancient history. 161 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 4: Actually, if you type it into it's either groc or 162 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 4: chat GPT. What's the most reliable document of antiquity, it's 163 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 4: the Bible. Is just that's why that Wesley Huff when 164 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: he was on Joe Rogan and he was with that 165 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 4: other guy. You know, Joe Rogan had him on because 166 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: they were taking shots at the Bible. You know, this 167 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: is just you know, people believe it, but if you 168 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 4: actually knew what was really written in ancient Egypt. And 169 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 4: he dismantled that guy so much so that the guy 170 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: stormed out of his own podcast because he said he 171 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 4: felt like he was set up. It was his podcast, 172 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: and so you know, he said, the original documents don't 173 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: actually say that. And the guy turns around and grabs 174 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 4: the original document and goes, I actually have the original 175 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 4: document here. Would you like me to send the PDF 176 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 4: to you? And the guy was just made a full 177 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: out of Well. Then he went on Joe Rogan and 178 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 4: was explaining the text to Joe Rogan as well. Great 179 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 4: to be at Petco today with all the squeaky toys. 180 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: If anyone needs one, we're handing him out the first 181 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 4: time visitors Matthew twenty twenty four. So everybody said, Jesus 182 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: rose from the dead, and then he, unlike Lazarus, he 183 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 4: never died again. Then the Bible says in Acts chapter one, 184 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 4: while he was blessing the disciples, he ascended up into 185 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 4: heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 186 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 4: And one day the Angel said, just as you saw 187 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 4: him go, he will return. So the disciples said, will 188 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 4: there be any sign? Say with me, Jesus is coming soon. 189 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 4: And the disciples said, will we know ahead of time? 190 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: Will there be any signs? Jesus started at verse three 191 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 4: and went through the whole rest of chapter twenty four, 192 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 4: at least to verse thirty five. Anyway telling signs that 193 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 4: when you see these things happen, you'll know my return 194 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 4: is near. Even at the door earthquakes and diverse places. 195 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 3: That means earthquakes where you've never seen him before. 196 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 4: Men will be perplexed because of the strange tides and 197 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 4: roaring seas. 198 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: That's tidal ways. 199 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: When you hear about that, when you hear stuff like 200 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 4: there's never been a tidal waven five hundred years now, 201 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 4: there's been two in the last two years, that signs 202 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 4: because yeah, there's always been those things, but Jesus said 203 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 4: they would speed up. Then you have the main sign 204 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 4: Matthew twenty four to thirty two. Jesus said, no, this 205 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 4: the generation that sees the fig tree. But again, when 206 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 4: that generation will not pass from the scene till all 207 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 4: these things are fulfilled. Heaven and Earth will pass away, 208 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: but my word will remain forever. Every one of Jesus's 209 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: hears knew the fig tree being blossoming again was which 210 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: nation Israel the fig tree. Israel had lost its national sovereignty. 211 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 4: They were under Roman rule, and Jesus said, one day 212 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: Israel will become a nation again. And when that happens, 213 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 4: the generation that sees this happen. That means the group 214 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: of people. That's why I'm forty four. Anybody that's my age, 215 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 4: I don't think you could be younger than me. And 216 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 4: remember this because I was. I was in like second 217 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: or third grade, third grade. Anybody remember the book eighty 218 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 4: eight Reasons why Jesus will come back in nineteen eighty eight. 219 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 4: The reason they base that was because Israel was reborn 220 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 4: May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight, and a biblical generation is 221 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 4: forty years, so that was the main reason. But a 222 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 4: generation refers to a group of people that are alive 223 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: on the earth at one time, So as long as 224 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: there are people alive from May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight, 225 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 4: Jesus said that group of people will still be on 226 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 4: the earth. When all these things are fulfilled, heaven and 227 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 4: earth will pass away, But my word will remain forever. 228 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 4: When you see them ship ten red heifers from Texas 229 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: to Israel that are the first red heifers that have 230 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: been born, they can't have one white hair on them 231 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: to be a blemishless heffer to be sacrificed. And then 232 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 4: you have the announcement that they're going to rebuild the 233 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 4: Third Temple, and now you have a president. 234 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: They couldn't do it under Biden. They wuld' have had support. 235 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 4: Now you're gonna get the enemies cleared out of the 236 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: west This is all prophetic. That's the reason why the 237 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 4: Palestinians are getting cleared out of the West Bank, because 238 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 4: everything has to line up with Bible prophecy. So they're 239 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 4: going to rebuild that temple. The cattle are already there 240 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 4: to resacrifice. You say, yeah, but the Dome of the 241 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 4: Rock is where the Third Temple is. Without going into 242 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 4: a big thing on that, how hard would it be 243 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: for the IDF to allow one of the missiles that's 244 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: randomly fired when they fire a thousand let one throw 245 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: on purpose to destroy the Dome of the Rock. 246 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 3: And then there you have it cleared. 247 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 4: Everything's gonna line up just like the Bible said, can 248 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 4: you say amen? So when you see like that video 249 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 4: I showed, why not if I'm gonna go to Washington, 250 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 4: d C. Why not stay and have dinner with the dollars. 251 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 4: I haven't seen her in a week anyway, Why not 252 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 4: kind of chill? Why start a third church in Los Angeles? 253 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 4: Because the Bible says, as you see the day approaching, 254 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 4: you should conduct yourself in a certain way. How well 255 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 4: you watch a lot of Christian TV, you know, buy, 256 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: get a bomb shelter, seven year supply of food, wait 257 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 4: for the Antichrist, That's not what the Bible says to do. 258 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 4: The Bible says, while you're waiting for these things to happen, 259 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 4: what you We have a mission, the Great Commission. Go ye. 260 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: And yeah, don't just travel now. If it's said go. 261 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 4: Into all the world and paint houses, then a lot 262 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: of churches would get an A plus. Go to a 263 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 4: church and put roofs on poor people's homes. Go into 264 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 4: all the world, and uh, deliver food to people that 265 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 4: don't have food. That's part of what we're to do. 266 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: But the Great Commission is not going to all the 267 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 4: world and supply people's human needs. Only it's going to 268 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: all the world. And in a crowd this size, both 269 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 4: in Texas and Pittsburgh, people grew up. There's no chance 270 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 4: that there's no one here that didn't grow up in 271 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 4: an abusive home with an abusive father. If a church 272 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 4: comes and drops food off, great, but that doesn't solve 273 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 4: the main proble that your family's going through. And so 274 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 4: Jesus came and shed his blood, not just so people 275 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 4: could have food and drinks while their life is miserable. 276 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 4: He came and shed his blood to wipe sin and 277 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 4: the curse of sin out of homes and out of families. 278 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 4: Because until something changes inside, nothing ever changes outside. 279 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: Can you say amen? 280 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 4: And then when he ascended, he said, the same work 281 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 4: that you see me do, you shall do in greater 282 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 4: go into all world what you saw me do. Matthew, 283 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: Mark Luke and John do that carry that same work out? 284 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: Now. 285 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: I'm not trying to pump our church up, but when 286 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 4: you have to answer questions to people like we're doing 287 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: some kind of weird thing in laying hands on people 288 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 4: and praying for people that are sick, all we do 289 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: at this church is we took Matthew, Mark Luke and 290 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 4: John and the Book of Acts. And if we're supposed 291 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 4: to carry out the work of Christ, then it would 292 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 4: be helpful to read what did Jesus do? Did Jesus 293 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 4: speak for twenty eight minutes and pray a prayer of 294 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 4: dismissal and have the next group come in? 295 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: No, he taught, preached and healed all the sick. 296 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 4: They brought him people that were tormented, and he delivered 297 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 4: them by the power of God. 298 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 3: Then he gave us the mission to carry. 299 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 4: That out by the Holy Spirit. Can you say amen? 300 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 4: And that's that's what we're endeavoring to do. So you 301 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 4: know that we are in. 302 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 3: This final period of time. 303 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 4: That's why why start an outreach at the University of Pittsburgh, 304 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 4: Because we are tasked with let the whole world know 305 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 4: that Jesus is coming soon. Everywhere you go, tell them 306 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 4: that the Kingdom of God is near, heal their sick. 307 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 4: Those University of Pittsburgh students, many are struggling, many have 308 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 4: already become alcoholics at a young age, are on drugs. 309 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 4: They're not going to get help unless they get it 310 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 4: from the hand of God and from the power of 311 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 4: the Bible. And it's not just going to happen to him. 312 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 4: Somebody has to take it upon themselves to make it happen. 313 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: Can you say amen? 314 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 5: Hi? 315 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: So my name was Cassandra. I live in New York. 316 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 5: I'm from Calias, and I have a great testimony from 317 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 5: when I was at Jonathan's conference in Redlands. So I 318 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 5: had gone through breast cancer a year before or so 319 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 5: and gone through chemo, radiation and surgery, the whole gamut, 320 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 5: and they had been telling me that there was now 321 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 5: possibly a problem on the other side. And after I 322 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 5: did an MRI well, I shun conventional medicine. I decided 323 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 5: to believe in God for my healing. I canceled multiple 324 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 5: bioxies and had been handling it through faith in God 325 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 5: that he would heal me. And I exercised the practical 326 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 5: ways as well well. When I went to Redlands the 327 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 5: first night, Jonathan called me out of the crowd and 328 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 5: he said, you look like the healthiest person in the room, 329 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 5: but a healing comes over your body right now. And 330 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 5: I believe that that was the ceiling on my healing, 331 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 5: and just completely from God. What's great is that I 332 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 5: happened to have a doctor's appointment scheduled with my holistic 333 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 5: provider the next morning, and I went there and he said, 334 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: I don't think you have cancer. All the levels that 335 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 5: we look for that show people have cancer, you don't 336 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 5: have any of them. So thank the Lord and thank 337 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 5: Revival today Ministry for being a conduit of his yealing 338 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 5: in love. 339 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 4: Another thing I think we've decided to do, whether we 340 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 4: ever consciously decided to do it or not. There's a 341 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 4: thing I learned in psychology class in tenth grade. 342 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: I never forgot it. 343 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 4: That class was so interesting to me that I never 344 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 4: took notes, and I got an A plus. I could 345 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 4: remember most of what the guy taught now because it was. 346 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: Very interesting to me. 347 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 4: One of the things we learned was a thing called 348 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 4: bystander apathy. If you got in a car accident on 349 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 4: the way home from this church, you won't, but for 350 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 4: the sake of this this example, if you did, if 351 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 4: a thousand people saw you get in the car accident 352 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 4: and you were bleeding, you have much much less of 353 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 4: a chance to get help than if one person saw you. 354 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 4: Because there's instances recorded all through history, Like there was 355 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 4: a lady in New York that there's either New York Chicago. 356 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 4: She was stabbed to death outside of an apartment building 357 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 4: in the sixties. Sixties, some people witnessed it and no 358 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 4: one called nine to one one. Why everybody thought somebody 359 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 4: else was going to do it. Whereas if one person 360 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 4: sees it, then you think, if I don't do something, 361 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 4: this person's going to bleed out and die. I have 362 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 4: a responsibility to take this upon my shoulders, like I'm 363 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 4: the only one that can do something about it. And 364 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 4: I think one of the down parts of there being 365 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty thousand churches in the United States 366 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 4: is everyone assumes that because we have a ton of 367 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 4: Christians that it's taken care of, but really very few 368 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 4: people are doing anything about it. But this church, God 369 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: has blessed it because we not only have large attendance, 370 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 4: somehow it has attracted people that don't just want entertained 371 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 4: in a message. They want to get filled with God's 372 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 4: power and go out and do something to rescue their generation. 373 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 4: This Sunday is going to be a major aid that 374 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 4: God's gonna put a fresh annoyting on you to be 375 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 4: a major problem to the kingdom of Hell. 376 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 3: If you believe that, can you shout aloud? Amen? 377 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 4: So? Matthew twenty four go to verse thirty six. You 378 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 4: can put up on the screen new living translation. However, 379 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: no one knows the day or the hour when these 380 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or 381 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 4: the Sun himself. Only the Father knows. When the Son 382 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 4: of Man returns, it will be like it was in 383 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 4: Noah's day. 384 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 3: In those days. 385 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 4: Before the flood, people were enjoying banquets and parties and 386 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: weddings right up until the time Noah entered his boat. 387 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 4: So how many you started following me around the COVID 388 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 4: lockdowns somewhere around there? You remember, one of the reasons 389 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 4: that I gave you hope is I said, there's not 390 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 4: gonna be some kind of collapse before the tribulation. 391 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 3: It's actually the opposite. 392 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: When everybody's saying peace and safety, then there'll be sudden destruction, 393 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 4: because Jesus. 394 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 3: Said before I return put the scripture back up. 395 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 4: Matthew twenty four thirty nine, people, it's thirty six, it's 396 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 4: thirty seven, thirty eight. In those days before the flood, 397 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 4: people were enjoying banquets, parties, and weddings right up until 398 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 4: the time the flood came. 399 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 3: Nobody knew what was happening. You know. 400 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 4: It's like when there was that tsunami in Southeast Asia. 401 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 4: All the animals could tell there was a change in 402 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 4: barometric pressure and went way up on the mountains, and 403 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 4: all the tourists with their martinis and peanut dirty pinacladas 404 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: are sitting there on their phones, completely oblivious because they 405 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 4: weren't watching. They didn't notice that the ocean had receded 406 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 4: miles out into sea. But the animals could tell. And 407 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 4: the Bible says, there was like that Noah's deare. No 408 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 4: one saw it was coming until the door of Noah's 409 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 4: ark was shut. 410 00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: And it'll be just like that. 411 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 4: But in the end times people are gonna be talking 412 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 4: Steelers football who they need to draft, which is fine, 413 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 4: but you have to keep your eyes on the most 414 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 4: important thing. The Bible says, all those who believe that 415 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 4: Jesus is coming back will keep themselves pure. 416 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 3: It causes you to live a different way. Can you say, amen? 417 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 4: Thirty nine people didn't realize what was going to happen 418 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 4: until the flood came and swept them all away. Forty 419 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 4: two men will be working together in the field. One 420 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 4: will be taken the other left. Two women will be 421 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 4: grinding flour at the mill. One taken and the other left. 422 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 3: So you too, it was say me too. 423 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 4: You know when you read the Bible, it's not just 424 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 4: like a theerial or the ancient people. 425 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 3: It's written to you. So you too should learn a 426 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 3: lessen from. 427 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 4: This and keep watch and be prepared for you do 428 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 4: not know what day your lord is coming. 429 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: Forty three. Understand this, If. 430 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 4: A Pennsylvania or Texas homeowner knew exactly when a burglar 431 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: was coming, he'd have a shotgun out and a doctor 432 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 4: pepper cracked and be ready to have some fun. He 433 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 4: would keep watch and not permit his house to be 434 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 4: broken into. That's why thieves usually don't send RSVPs. Forty four. 435 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 4: So you must be ready all the time, everybody say, 436 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 4: I must be ready all the time, for the son 437 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 4: of man will come when least expected. 438 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 3: Forty five. 439 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master 440 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 4: can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants 441 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 4: and feeding them. If the master returns and find that 442 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 4: the servant has done a good job, there'll be a reward. 443 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 4: I tell you the truth, That master will put that 444 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 4: servant in charge of all he owns. But what if 445 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 4: the servant is evil and finx, My master won't be 446 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 4: back for a while, and he begins beating the other servants, 447 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 4: partying and getting drunk. 448 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 3: Watching in Dallas. You think Jesus wrote this to the 449 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 3: Dallas fort or the area. 450 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 4: About twenty five major ministries collapsed for doing that same thing. 451 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 4: That's what I like about what God has me doing. 452 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 4: I don't have time to get into any of that. 453 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 4: I don't even have time. Jonathan, did you hear what 454 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 4: this pastor in Pittsburgh saying about you? No, I'm not here. 455 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 4: They can say what they want. I got work to do. 456 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 4: So when you stay on the go for God, there's 457 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 4: not time to sin, there's not time to gossip. There's 458 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 4: not time to take sides against your brothers. There's a 459 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 4: harvest field that needs reaped, and we're gonna reap. 460 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 3: In Jesus' name. 461 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 4: If I call for fifty one and there's not a 462 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 4: fifty one, just go to twenty five to one. But 463 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 4: if there's a fifty one, go to it and he 464 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 4: will cut the servant to pieces. That doesn't sound very 465 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: christ Like. It's Jesus talking and assign him a place 466 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 4: with the hypocrites in that place, I'll be weeping and 467 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: gnashing of teeth. Then the kingdom of heaven will be 468 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 4: like ten bridesmaids. Now he goes to that story about 469 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 4: the last generation of time and then goes right into 470 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 4: this story. Then the kingdom of heaven will be like 471 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 4: ten brides maids who took their lamp and went to 472 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 4: meet the bridegroom. Five of them were wise and five 473 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 4: were foolish. What separated them The five who were foolish 474 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 4: didn't take enough olive oil for their lamps, and the 475 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 4: five who were wise took extra oil. It was the 476 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 4: extra oil of you. Say another word, say overflow six 477 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 4: or sorry five. When the bridegroom was delayed, thought, g 478 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 4: Jesus hasn't come back. 479 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 3: Where is he? I mean they've been saying he's gonna 480 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 3: come back forever. 481 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 4: Put up Second Peter, chapter three, verse one, and then 482 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 4: I'll go back to Matthew twenty five. Everybody says them 483 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 4: was delayed. This is my second letter, this to the church. 484 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 4: This is my second letter to you, dear friends. And 485 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 4: in both of them, I've tried to stimulate your wholesome 486 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 4: thinking and refresh your memory. I want you to remember 487 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 4: what the Holy Prophet said long ago, and what our 488 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles. I want to 489 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 4: remind you that in the last days, scoffers will come 490 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 4: mocking the truth and following their own desires. They'll say, 491 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 4: what happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? 492 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 4: I watched you on YouTube a little bit that church 493 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 4: you went to. He's talking about Jesus coming back. My 494 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 4: grandfather was talking about how Jesus was coming soon. I mean, 495 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 4: they've been saying that forever the what happened to the 496 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 4: promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the time 497 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 4: of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the 498 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 4: world was first created. They deliberately forget that God made 499 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 4: the heavens long ago by the word of his command, 500 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 4: and he brought the earth out from the water. 501 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: And surrounded it with water. 502 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 4: Then God used that water to destroy the world with 503 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 4: a mighty flood. And by the same word, the present 504 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 4: heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They're 505 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 4: being kept for the day of judgment when ungodly people 506 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 4: will perish. 507 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 3: How many remember. 508 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 4: God said, never again will I destroy the world with 509 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 4: a flood, but the next destruction is going to be 510 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 4: by fire. And my dad, actually, I won't put words 511 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 4: in his mouth. Many people believe that this is a 512 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 4: foreshadowing of nuclear war, because when you think of writing 513 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 4: this in the first century, there was no way for 514 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 4: this to even be a thing that because it talks 515 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 4: about the heavens will melt and the elements will melt away. Well, 516 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 4: what explosion takes place in the air in the first century. 517 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 4: I mean, in the nineteenth century, nothing took exploded in 518 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 4: the air in the heavens. But you must not forget 519 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 4: this one thing, dear friends. A day is like a 520 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 4: thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years. 521 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 3: Is like a day. 522 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 4: The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return. 523 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 4: Let some people think, no, he's being patient for your sake, 524 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 4: he does. What does that mean? In Texas and here? 525 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're humble enough, how many of you 526 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 4: if Jesus came eight years ago, if the rapture would 527 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 4: have happened, if those that were right with Christ were 528 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 4: called up off the earth, how many of you would 529 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 4: have been left behind if it happened eight years ago. 530 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 4: So they say so when people say, what's taken so long, 531 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 4: that's what's taken so long. He doesn't want any to perish, 532 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 4: so he's giving more time for everyone to repent and 533 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 4: be saved. Now, I caught this scripture in my spirit, 534 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 4: and it has fueled everything I do because I made 535 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 4: a little logical connection. 536 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 3: If the only. 537 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 4: Reason why Jesus hasn't come back is he's waiting for 538 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 4: people to be saved, then instead of asking God to 539 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 4: bless my dreams, I decided God, I'm a vessel. I 540 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 4: present myself to you. Anoint me and empower me to 541 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 4: make your dream come to pass, and I'll go after 542 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 4: the lofe
