1
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Hi.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: My name is Laura SANDIFERD and I'm from Johnsborough, Louisiana.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: For the longest time that I can remember, I struggled

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: with depression and anxiety and fear, and I really just

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 2: struggled in sin. I didn't feel like.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: There was.

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: A victory over sin. I felt like I was trying,

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 2: but I wasn't actually succeeding in overcoming sin. And so

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 2: last year I came to the revival meetings here and

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: I'd never even heard of Pastor Jonathan. The first night

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: I recommitted my life to Christ on June fifth of

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: last year, twenty twenty three, Pastor Jonathan lined everyone up

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: to pray for them. So when he came down the

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: line and he touched my forehead, I fell to the

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: ground and God spoke to me. I heard him say,

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: never again, shall you. I freaked out a little bit,

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: and I didn't really hear anything after that, but I

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: felt God lift all of the darkness off of me.

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: So every bit of anxiety, depression, fear, the need to

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: people please, and the desire for sin all left me

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: in that moment. And so it was really awesome just

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: to see God do that in my life. And so

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 2: in this past year, I've had so much joy. Another

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: thing that happened in that moment is God gave me joy.

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: I've never heard of the joy of the spirit, and

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: so I was cackling like a mad woman. Didn't understand it,

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: but it was just really truly awesome to experience the

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: freedom that only comes through Christ. And so I just

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: I'm so thankful. I praise God. It's all glory to Him.

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: And I'm here because I know that God is doing

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: more for my family. I've been standing in faith and

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: seeing God and move in my family, and so I'm

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: just thankful. God's awesome. He continues to move, and He's trustworthy.

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: So if you're struggling with sin, God can take it.

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: And if you're struggling with depression or anxiety, God can

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: take it. I have so much joy, and I'm just

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: so thankful. I serving my church now, and I was

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: struggling so much to even be in church this time

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: last year. So I came to the meetings. Haven't missed

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: church since God is awesome.

41
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: We are raising up a family in this church. We're

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: raising up a family in Pittsburgh, We're raising up a

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: family in Texas.

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: That don't just know about God.

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: They know God, They've handled his power, they've seen his

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: power flow through. You're coming out of here today carrying

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: fresh fire, fresh unknowing. Take never to take another backward stamp.

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: If you're waiting so people have time to be saved.

49
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Right now, I can't travel to Iran. I mean I could,

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: but I couldn't hold more than like a thirty minute

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: meeting before I go to Heaven myself. But with VPNs

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: and what's that. Now I can get the gospel in Iran.

53
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: Now I can get the gospel into North Korea. Now

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: I can get the gospel in the Palestine. So I'm

55
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna use everything at my disposal. If the only reason

56
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: you're waiting is so people have time to be saved,

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: then the more I plug my life into getting people saved,

58
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: the more of the wind of Heaven will come behind me.

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: That's why, if you haven't noticed the last five weeks,

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: I think a dollars tell on it last week.

61
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: For the last five weeks.

62
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: We haven't had any offering time other than take the

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: envelopes and give no teaching on it, no teaching on tithes.

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: And the offering's been up between one point five and

65
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: two times what it normally is. Because I actually am

66
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: getting so committed to this, I just don't care anymore.

67
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: I can't see any money drying up for any reason

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: as long as my heart is to go after God's

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: heart and reach the lost and the hurting and the broken.

70
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not criticizing anybody that has churches in Malibu

71
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: or Orange County or Anaheim. But when I announced we're

72
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna have revival today church LA, all the consultants immediately said,

73
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: LA is a mess. Think about MalibuIn think about Anaheim.

74
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: Think about somewhere in.

75
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Orange County that say, you know, people aren't gonna want

76
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: to go to a church where they have to keep

77
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: their head on a swivel as they're walking to church.

78
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: But you know what those places have churches. Thirty percent

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: of churches in Los Angeles shut down during COVID permanently

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: never came back because they met at schools and other

81
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: rented buildings and the government shut them down.

82
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: For three years. They're gone.

83
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: We're going one block from skid row because we're not

84
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: there to get more income or to give people another

85
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: option for church. We're there to remind the devil that

86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: the church is still here.

87
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: And as long as.

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: The church is still here, the church is in charge.

89
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 3: Can you say amen? So go back to Matthew twenty.

90
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 1: Five on the verse where said as the bridegroom delayed

91
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: his coming. So the Bible tells you there's problematic things

92
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: in the fact that Jesus has waited. Because let's put

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: the hands up again. How many of you if Jesus

94
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: would have come back eight years ago, you'd have missed heaven.

95
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: But now and obviously the people aren't here.

96
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: There's people that were saved eight years ago that knew

97
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: the Lord whose names were written in the Lamb's Book

98
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: of Life, that as Jesus waited as pastors, they started

99
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: attending Pete did He's parties and going to Hollywood parties,

100
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: and as the master tarried his coming instead of working.

101
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: Now, I'm gonna tell you this. I would live in LA.

102
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: And I wanted backslided, but I'm glad I'm going there

103
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: just to preach. I'm glad I can't that city swallows

104
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: people up. You know, you turn into an LA socialite

105
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: as a pastor. You're at dinner parties and it all

106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: sounds good. You know, this director wants to is having

107
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: a dinner and I could have a chance to let

108
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: my light shine. I feel like it's going to be

109
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: a major protection for everything to do with revival today,

110
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: for a dollars for myself, for Camilla, to.

111
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: Stay on the move for God.

112
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: At this church, we stay on the move for God

113
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna be in the middle. If you're

114
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: hot or cold, if you're lukewarm, A vomitch out of

115
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: my mouth. So I if I were you, I would

116
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: make up my mind that seeing that the coming of

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: the Lord is near, Seeing that the coming of the

118
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Lord is near, if there's gonna be a drifting away

119
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: and there's going to be a drawing too, then every

120
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: day I'm gonna make up my mind like you did.

121
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Nobody felt like getting out of bed today. I mean

122
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: to go to church. Even if you woke up early. Well,

123
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: I can take the morning off. You know how many

124
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: of you by show hands. This is genuinely your only

125
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: day off in the weeks. Rans So I mean, I

126
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: want to be that difficult to say. You know, I

127
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: need a day and I love God and stay home,

128
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: But what made you decide to come here? Because it's

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: a desire. I'm not going to allow myself to be

130
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: one of the people that started strong and finished poorly.

131
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay strong now, I'm gonna finish strong, and

132
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hear well done, my good and faithful servant.

133
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: And here now and to the joy of the Lord.

134
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: If that sounds like you in Texas, if that sounds

135
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: like you and Pittsburgh, give the Lord a mighty, mighty

136
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: handcloud when the bridegroom was delayed.

137
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: This is an interesting scripture.

138
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: I wish I could have my cousin Teddy come here

139
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: and talk about it with me a little. I'd like

140
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: to hear his take on it, because it doesn't say

141
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: some of them became drowsy and slept. It says they

142
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: all became drowsy and slip. So say this with me.

143
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: There is a natural push for me to become drowsy

144
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: and spiritually sleepy. Some of you invited people here this

145
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: this Sunday. You know you should come. Yeah, I'm thinking

146
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: about guy, and you're drowsy.

147
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: You know.

148
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't say they all they all gave God the

149
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: bridegroom the middle finger and stormed off.

150
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 3: They became drowsy and slept.

151
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: Well, what happens if you build a fire and go

152
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: to sleep, and nobody tends it.

153
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: What happens, Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't get better, it.

154
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Gets worse if it's in a fireplace or house. Basically

155
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: anywhere outside of southern California, fires go out somehow they

156
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: do get stronger unattended out there. So say this with me.

157
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: A fire has to be kept burning. Pull Levitiicus six

158
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: thirteen up. Remember the fire must be kept burning on

159
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: the altar at all times. The fire must never go out.

160
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: I want you to close both eyes, lift your right hand.

161
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: That's my title and my message today. Say the fire

162
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: must never go out. And today God's gonna light a

163
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: fire in you that you're gonna be able to point

164
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: back to February whatever today is, the twenty third.

165
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: February twenty twenty twenty five.

166
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: That's the day I cease being an American nor Christian,

167
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: and I got on fire for God. I got filled

168
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: with a supernatural passion to put God first and to

169
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: make an impact on my generation. That's gonna be you.

170
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: I prophesy in the name of Jesus. You're gonna make heaven.

171
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: You're gonna overcome every obstacle on the way. You're gonna

172
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: be strong in the Lord and the power of his mate,

173
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: and he that began a good work in you, we'll

174
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: bring it to completion in Jesus' name. If you receive

175
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: that one more time, clap your hands and give the

176
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Lord a mighty shall.

177
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: Matthew twenty five seven. Sorry.

178
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: At six at midnight, they were roused by the shell.

179
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: Look the bridegroom is coming. Come out and meet him.

180
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then

181
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: the five foolish ones asked the others, please give us

182
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.

183
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: But the others replied, we don't have enough oil for

184
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: all of us. Go to a shop and buy some

185
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: for yourselves. But while they were gone to buy oil,

186
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: some people are just continually trying to get better, and

187
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: they never get better. You know, life's a continual improvement. Yeah,

188
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm working on a few things. I need to work

189
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: on this. You know, Christianity is not working on a

190
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: few things. Christianity is surrendering your life at an altar.

191
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: And if you'll do that today, you know the altar

192
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: in Leviticus was an actual wood altar, or they laid animals,

193
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: but we don't lay animals in the New Covenant. You

194
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: are the sacrifice on the altar, and the fire that

195
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: consume those animals is to consume you. I want to

196
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: implore every mother, every father like me, every mother like

197
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: a dollars, every teenager, every child, every grandparent to make

198
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: up your mind today. I'm gonna get on fire for God.

199
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay on fire for God. I'm gonna move

200
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: closer to God, not further away. And it's not one

201
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: of my sermon points, but I'm gonna tell you. You say,

202
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: how do you know you're on fire for God when

203
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: other Christians have an intervention to tell you that you

204
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: need to calm down? How many you experienced that in

205
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: some form of another during twenty one days of prind fasting?

206
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: And I don't really think you need to fast. Okay,

207
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: what book of the Bible did you write? Since you're

208
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: countermanding Jesus, you should have some serious credentials. People that

209
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: never had a problem with you drinking yourself blackout drunk

210
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: would laugh when you told them stories of what happened

211
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: on the weekend, of things that were destroying you and

212
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: sending you to hell. Now you go to a church,

213
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they never had a problem

214
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: with what bar you attended. In this family, we go

215
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: to mckinski's bar. No, didn't let you go to whatever

216
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: bar you want, never raise a concern. But now that

217
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: you started coming here, your family all turned into theologians.

218
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe in that. Yeah, you

219
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: don't even read the Bible, and so what is that.

220
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Once the devil realizes he's lost you, he then focuses

221
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: his attention to turn you into an Americanized, westernized nothing

222
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: of a Christian who never tells anybody about Jesus. Now,

223
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: let me tell you what fire does. If I don't

224
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: have fire. You are not trained in ministry school to

225
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: pray for that lady whose baby has a heart on

226
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: the wrong side of a chest and one lung and

227
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: ten percent chance of living, and they're telling her you

228
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: need to relax and just accept what's going to happen.

229
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: You're tald, you know those people are You know they're delusional.

230
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: That's the step called denial where people don't want that

231
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: to happen. And so you know what I should have

232
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: done in my training, put my hand on the lady's

233
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: shoulder and says and go into that stupid voice. It's

234
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: like if Xanax was a voice. We sometimes we need

235
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: to accept, you know, or sneak it into your prayer.

236
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll pray with you, Father. Let her accept your will.

237
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: And those many times we want something, it's your will.

238
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: Where do you get that from? Now?

239
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: Show me somebody in the Bible that came to Jesus

240
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: for healing and he tried to talk him out of it,

241
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: or told him one day, you'll get it in heaven

242
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: or Humans always want carnal things, but you should be

243
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: interested in spiritual things. When blind people came to Jesus,

244
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: he opened their eyes. When death people came to Jesus,

245
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: he unstopped their ears. When the cripple came to Christ,

246
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: he made them walk. When the tormented came, he left them.

247
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: They were naked and tormented, and they left them clothing.

248
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: In their right mind, Jesus was a situation changer. He

249
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: didn't teach faith, listen. He didn't teach faith as a

250
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: coping mechanism. He taught faith as something that moves mountains,

251
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: that you can speak to that man. No, not faith

252
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: helps us understand that that mountain will never move. Faith

253
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: will cause you to speak to that mountain and tell

254
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: that heart to.

255
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: Get on the right side of the chest.

256
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: Tell the lung to grow her second love, Tell the

257
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: eyes to see, tell the kidneys to work. Faith in God,

258
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: We'll move on mighty mountain. Faith in God.

259
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: We'll call my trouble.

260
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Say faith, We'll turn all your situations around. Hi.

261
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: We are Terry and Joey from New Orleans, Louisiana. We

262
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: are in Fort Worth Church and Revival today. We came

263
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: this morning and there was a healing prayer line that

264
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: went forth. Jonathan and Adallas prayed for everybody. And I

265
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: had a psiatic pain that I had been dealing with

266
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: for years that I just learned to deal with and

267
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: I even stopped complaining about it, and I've been believing God.

268
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: But this morning, I said, Lord, this has to be

269
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: my day. And even while they were praying on the platform,

270
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: I could feel the pain going away. And I just

271
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: started praising God and thank God and actually crying because

272
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: it's just that big of a deal to turn at

273
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 4: night in the bed. Even I take care of my

274
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 4: grandchild to pick her up, and it hurts so badly.

275
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: But I just learned to deal with it. But I

276
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: thank God I don't have to deal with it anymore.

277
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 4: Is gone, It is never coming back. I'm just walking

278
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: and dancing, and I just praise God for that. So

279
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: thank you so much.

280
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: When deaf people came to Jesus, he unstopped their ears.

281
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: When the cripple came to Christ, he made them walk.

282
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: When the tormented came, he left them. They were naked

283
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: and tormented, and they left them clothing. In their right mind,

284
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Jesus was a situation changer. He didn't teach faith listen.

285
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: He didn't teach faith as a coping mechanism. He taught

286
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: faith as something that moves mountains, that you can speak

287
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: to that man.

288
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: No not.

289
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Faith helps us understand that that mountain will never move.

290
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: Faith will cause you to speak to that mountain and

291
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: tell that heart to get on.

292
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: The right side of the chest.

293
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: Tell the lung to grow a second love, tell the

294
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: eyes to see, tell the kidneys to work. Faith in

295
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: God will move a mighty mountain. Faith in God, we'll

296
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: call a trouble to see. Faith will turn all your

297
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: situations around.

298
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: Hallelujah.

299
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: That's fire, that's faith on fire, Passion for God, believe

300
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: in God, believing his word, having it overflow out of you.

301
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Just to compliment Texas and Pittsburgh like I did last week.

302
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: One of the church consultants that we have, they said,

303
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: churches that have an average attendance of forty five hundred

304
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: people in a service on Sundays have about one sixth

305
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: the income that your church has and the same amount

306
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: of volunteers. Well, you want to know why, because if

307
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: you have forty five hundred lukewarm people, they'll do less

308
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: than whatever we have. What twelve hundred maybe today between

309
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: both places will outproduce five times the amount of people.

310
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: Because when you start getting real Bible, God doesn't have

311
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: to outnumber the Canaanites. Joshua and Caleb can take it

312
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: off by themselves. One will put a thousand to flight,

313
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: two will put ten thousand. That's called exponential increase. When

314
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: you start linking up with the people of faith. And

315
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I kind of.

316
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: Do know about you. I made up my mind. Let

317
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: the mockers mock, let the doubters down.

318
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go find people that have made up their mind.

319
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm serving Jesus. I'm gonna advance I'm gonna preached the gospel.

320
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pray for the sick. I'm gonna cast out devils.

321
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: That's what revevaled today is. It's like become like a

322
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: magnet where everybody that's had enough of dead religion.

323
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 3: I don't wanna be a pharisee.

324
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't wanna have a YouTube channel where I talk

325
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: about other people that pray and preach and how their

326
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 1: sermons are wrong. I want to have something I produce

327
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: for the Kingdom. I want people. I want when I

328
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: get to Heaven. It take me like nine years to

329
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: get through the front door of my mansion, having the

330
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: way through all the people giving me hugs, telling me

331
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: thank you for telling me the Gospel, thank you for

332
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: wanting me to the Lord. I want to go find

333
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: that evangelist from the early nineteen hundreds that led my.

334
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: Grandfather the Lord.

335
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: I want to go find the kid that told my

336
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: mother about Jesus in New Jersey and God are saved.

337
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Heaven is not a bunch of weak people that dragged

338
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: themselves over the finish line. Heaven is the Heaven is

339
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the home of overcomers, of people that overcame the world.

340
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 3: This is the victory.

341
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: You have things to overcome, you have things the devil

342
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: put against you.

343
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 3: But I got good news. This is the victory that

344
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: overcomes the world. Even our faith. Light that faith on fire.

345
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: Today he that megan a good work.

346
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: Can you I haven't felt like this the last five weeks,

347
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: but today's like the first day. I like wish there

348
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: was seven services. I feel like I feel like I

349
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: can't wait.

350
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: I'm so glad there's a Saturday church. Now.

351
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: Maybe God'll give us some Monday church and at Tuesday

352
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: church Minneapolis or to Chicago. I'm down to clown whatever

353
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: you want, God, whatever you want to do. I'm not

354
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: looking to sit around. When we get to heaven. I'll

355
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: have my first meal with the band. I'll have my

356
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: first meal with some of you. But this does not

357
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: sit around. That's why I don't have pastor Appreciation Day.

358
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: I can't see throwing a party in the third quarter

359
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: of a football game.

360
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 3: Finish the game. I mean, do you remember.

361
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: Back when the Steelers had Roethlisberger and everybody is like

362
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: Penguins too.

363
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 3: They never could just make it easy on you every game.

364
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: If they were up twenty eight, You're like, just way

365
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a three point game.

366
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 3: If the Penguins were up five to one, it'd be.

367
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: Five to four, and then they let the team tie it,

368
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: and then they went down six to five, and then

369
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: they won seven to six. You know, And then sometimes

370
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: when you looked over at the sideline, twenty eight you know,

371
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight point leads sounds like a lot till the

372
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: team gets two more touchdowns and you'd see them up

373
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 1: twenty eight points, high fiving, laughing. I'm not against laughing,

374
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm pro laughing, but I'd wait a little bit. Quit

375
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: dropping back in the prevent defense and losing the lead.

376
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: You have them on the back foot, take them out.

377
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 3: Keep the attack mentality.

378
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: Now, none of these are in my notes, but I

379
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: missed all eight points first service, and it looks like

380
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm on the same path.

381
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: Now. I want to tell you something. Fire he'll do.

382
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: Fire'll put you on the attack, Fire will quit Heaven.

383
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: You sit back and have life happen to you, and

384
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: it'll put something on you where you go out and

385
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 1: happen to life. You'll stop asking for prayer that the

386
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: devil's attacking you, and the devil have to have a

387
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: prayer service at the Satanic temple because this Christian keeps

388
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: harassing me and rebuking me and binding me and casting

389
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: me out and shutting down my meth labs and breaking

390
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: the whole of Fennol.

391
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 3: That's the group of Christians that I'm looking at. We're

392
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: not here to get attacked. We're here to do the attacking.

393
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: Come on, take thirty seconds and lift it up. Lift

394
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 3: it up.

395
00:21:48,720 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Somebody say, I'm on the attack. It's hard to

396
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: get attacked when you're the attacker. It's hard to get

397
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: attacked when you're the attacker. Get something in your crosshairs.

398
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: Target something in the spirit you Try buy a psychic

399
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: shop every day on your way to work. Try cursing

400
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: it on the way by, in the name of Jesus.

401
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Not f you like a Bible curse. I curse that

402
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: spirit behind that building. I curse that foul spirit that

403
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: takes advantage of people that are breathing the loss of

404
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: their loved ones trying to contact them from the dead,

405
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: You foul shop. I curse your pumbing. I curse your

406
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: electric electrical work, curse your finances. I curse everything that

407
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: has to do with you going on the wits. Put

408
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: a curse on me. Try it works both ways. Turn

409
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: to next thirteen. Starting to lose people because they don't

410
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: think it's in the Bible, go to Acts thirteen. Somebody

411
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: say the fire must never go out, and I feel

412
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: too good. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus.

413
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: X thirteen one.

414
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: So rather than tell you about how contact waiting for

415
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: the coming of the Lord, let's see some guys that

416
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: did it right, like Paul x thirteen one. Among the

417
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: prophets and teachers of the Church of Antioch of Syria

418
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: were Barnabas, Simeon, you can call them that, Lucius, Manighan,

419
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: and Saul verse two. Definitely not doing that in February.

420
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, show some respect. One day as these men

421
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: were worshiping the Lord.

422
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: And what.

423
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: Fasting is an acceller and a fire Because your body

424
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: and your flesh comes against your spirit, the Bible says,

425
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: the war isn't between you and the devil.

426
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 3: The devil's already defeated, but your flesh is strong. The

427
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: younger you are, the stronger your flesh is. That's why

428
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 3: let me ask you this.

429
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Did anybody have a relative that had nothing to do

430
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: with church or God? And when they turned like sixty

431
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: sixty five or seventy started like going to church.

432
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: You just found out they were going to church or whatever. Anybody.

433
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I flesh that out, and the s

434
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: doesn't that they still have a spirit that longs for God.

435
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: So you know, if you have like a great uncle Noah,

436
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: he was great. I'm talking like your grandfather's brother. And

437
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: he was like a known adulter. He ran around with

438
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: women all the time. He quit when he was like

439
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: sixty five, sony because his flesh got weak. You know,

440
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: you ran around with women when you were twenty five.

441
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: When you turn seventy, it's hard to get motivated to

442
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: go to the refrigerator to get a mountain dew. Just

443
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: go thirsty and I'd like one, but it's out of reach.

444
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: So fasting crucifies the flesh. That's why even when you

445
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: get into fasting, everybody tries to get you to do

446
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: anything but not eat. Find the fast that's right for you.

447
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: I can help you fast food. Find the fast that's

448
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: right for you. Maybe you want to fast television or radio.

449
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: And the preacher said, fast radio, what a you is it?

450
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: Nineteen thirty six? Maybe you want to fast the telegram

451
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: or Morse Code. The phonograph heard anything but food, fasting,

452
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: and worshiping. The Lord the Holy Spirit said, appoint Barnabas

453
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: and Saul for the special work which I've called them.

454
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their

455
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: hands on them and sent them on their way.

456
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: So what happened when they went on their way? First

457
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: missionary journey.

458
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: So Barnabas and Saul were sent out by the Holy Spirit.

459
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: They went down to the seaport of Solution and then

460
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: sailed to the island of Cyprus. They're in the town

461
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: of Salamis. They went to the Jewish synagogue and preached

462
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: the word of God. John Mark went with them as

463
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: their assistant. Afterward, they traveled from town to town across

464
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 1: the entire island, until finally they reached Paphos, where they

465
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: were met by a Jewish sorcerer, a false prophet named

466
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: bar Jesus. Say this out loud. The greater the anointing,

467
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: the greater the opposition. So you may not have written

468
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: one third of the New Testament two thirds of the

469
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: New Testament like Paul. So you might not have a

470
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: demon possessed sorcerer that's making it his business to stop you.

471
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: But everybody, nobody comes to their promised land with no giants.

472
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: There's giants in every man's promised land. So the devil

473
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: can't stop you. He can just put obstacles that'll get

474
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: you to turn back. Nobody thought think of this with me, David.

475
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: Did it come on the scene and eleven hundred Israelites

476
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: had been killed by Goliath, and that's why nobody would

477
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: fight him.

478
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: No one had fought him.

479
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: No, but none of the ten Spies fought any of

480
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: the giants in Canaan. All they did was get discouraged

481
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: and turned back on their own. So the devil works

482
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: by harassment. I mean they told me for two and

483
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: a half years, if I didn't stop preaching, they were

484
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna they were gonna arrest me, find me, and they

485
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: never did, because the devil is great at bluffing. But

486
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: if you'd make him pull the trigger, there's no bullets

487
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: in the gun. Remember that, they said, if I go

488
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: to church on Sunday, they're gonna fire me. Go make

489
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: them fire you, Make them throw you in the fiery furnace,

490
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: make them throw you in the lions den, and you'll

491
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: find out even if they do, the God that you're serving,

492
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: will save you from the lions, will take you out of.

493
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 3: The fiery furnace.

494
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: You can't curse what God has blessed. And I see

495
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: you blessed, I see you favor
