1 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Hi. 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: My name is Laura Sandifer and I'm from Johnsborough, Louisiana. 3 00:00:11,480 --> 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 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: struggled in sin. I didn't feel like there was a 6 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 2: victory over sin. I felt like I was trying, but 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: I wasn't actually succeeding in overcoming sin. And so last 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: year I came to the revival meetings here and I'd 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: never even heard of Pastor Jonathan. The first night I 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 2: recommitted my life to Christ on June fifth of last year, 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, Pastor Jonathan lined everyone up to pray 12 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 2: for them. So when he came down the line and 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 2: he touched my forehead, I fell to the ground and 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: God spoke to me. I heard him say, never again, 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: shall you. I freaked out a little bit, and I 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: didn't really hear anything after that, but I felt God 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: lift all of the darkness off of me. So every 18 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: bit of anxiety, depression, fear, the need to people please, 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: and the desire for sin all left me in that moment. 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: And so it was really awesome just to see God 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: do that in my life. And so in this past year, 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: I've had so much joy. Another thing that happened in 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: that moment is God gave me joy. I've never heard 24 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: of the joy of the spirit, and so I was 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: cackling like a mad woman. Didn't understand it, but it 26 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: was just really truly awesome to experience the freedom that 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: only comes through Christ. And so I just I'm so thankful. 28 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: I praise God. It's all glory to Him. And I'm 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: here because I know that God is doing more for 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: my family. I've been standing in faith and seeing God 31 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: and moving my family, and so I'm just thankful. God's awesome. 32 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: He continues to move, and He's trustworthy. So if you're 33 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: struggling with sin, God can take it. And if you're 34 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: struggling with depression or anxiety, God can take it. I 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: have so much joy, and I'm just so thankful. I 36 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: serving my church now, and I was struggling so much 37 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 2: to even be in church this time last year. So 38 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: I came to the meetings. Haven't missed church since. God 39 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: is awesome. 40 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 3: We are raising up a family in this church. We're 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: raising up a family in Pittsburgh, We're raising up a 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 3: family in Texas that don't just know about God. They 43 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: know God, they've handled his power, they've seen his power 44 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: flow through it. You're coming out of here today carrying 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 3: fresh fire, fresh unknowing. Take never to take another backward stamp. 46 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 3: If you're waiting so people have time to be saved. 47 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: Right now, I can't travel to Iran. I mean I could, 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: but I couldn't hold more than like a thirty minute 49 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: meeting before I go to Heaven myself. But with VPNs 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: and what's that. Now I can get the gospel in Iran. 51 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: Now I can get the gospel into North Korea. Now 52 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: I can get the gospel in the Palestine. So I'm 53 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: gonna use everything at my disposal. If the only reason 54 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: you're waiting is so people have time to be saved, 55 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: then the more I plug my life into getting people saved, 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: the more of the wind of Heaven will. 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: Come behind me. 58 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: That's why, if you haven't noticed the last five weeks, 59 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: I think a dollars ton on it last week. For 60 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 3: the last five weeks, we haven't had any offering time 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: other than take the envelopes and give no teaching on it, 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: no teaching on tithes. And the offering's been up between 63 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: one point five and two times what it normally is, 64 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: because I actually am getting so committed to this, I 65 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: just don't care anymore. I can't see any money drying 66 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: up for any reason as long as my heart is 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: to go after God's heart and reach the lost and 68 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: the hurting and the broken. And I'm not criticizing anybody 69 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: that has churches in Malibu, Orange County, or Anaheim. 70 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: But when I. 71 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: Announced We're gonna have revival today church La, all the 72 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: consultants immediately said, LA is a mess. Think about Malibu, 73 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: Think about Anaheim. Think about somewhere in Orange County that say, 74 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: you know, people are gonna want to go to a 75 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 3: church where they have to keep their head on a 76 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 3: swivel as they're walking to church. 77 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: But you know what those places have churches. 78 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: Thirty percent of churches in Los Angeles shut down during 79 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: COVID permanently never came back because they met at schools 80 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: and other rented buildings and the government shut them down 81 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: for three years. 82 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: They're gone. 83 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 3: We're going one block from skid row because we're not 84 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 3: there to get more income or to give people another 85 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 3: option for church. We're there to remind the devil that 86 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: the church is still here. And as long as the 87 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 3: church is still here, the church is in charge. 88 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: Can you say amen? 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: So go back to Matthew twenty five on the verse 90 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: whe it said, as the bridegroom delayed his coming. So 91 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: the Bible tells you there's problematic things in the fact 92 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 3: that Jesus has waited. Because let's put the hands up again. 93 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: How many of you if Jesus would have come back 94 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: eight years ago, you'd have missed heaven. 95 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: But now, and obviously the people aren't here. 96 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 3: There's people that were saved eight years ago that knew 97 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: the Lord, whose names were written in the Lamb's Book 98 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: of Life, that as Jesus waited as pastors, they started 99 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 3: attending Pete did He's parties and going to Hollywood parties, 100 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: and as the master tarried his coming instead of working. Now, 101 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you this. I would live in la 102 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: and I want it backslided. But I'm glad I'm going 103 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: there just to preach. I'm glad I can't. 104 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: That city swallows people up. 105 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: You know, you turn into an La social aite as 106 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 3: a pastor, you're at dinner parties and it all sounds good. 107 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: You know, this director wants to is having a dinner 108 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: and I could have a chance to let my light shine. 109 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: I feel like it's going to be a major protection 110 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: for everything to do with revival today, for a dollars 111 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 3: for myself, for Camilla, to stay. 112 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 1: On the move for God. 113 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: At this church, we stay on the move for God 114 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: because you're not gonna be in the middle if you're 115 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: hot or cold, if you're luqwarm, A vamach out of 116 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: my mouth.

Nobody 122 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 3: felt like getting out of bed today. I mean to 123 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 3: go to church even if you woke up early. Well, 124 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 3: I can take the morning off. You know how many 125 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 3: of you by show hands. This is genuinely your only 126 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 3: day off in the week, your hens. 127 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: So I mean, I want to be that difficult to say. 128 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: You know I need to today and I love God 129 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: and stay home, But what made you decide to come here? 130 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: Because it's a desire, I'm not going to allow myself 131 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: to be one of the people well that started strong 132 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 3: and finished poorly.

If that sounds like you in Texas, 136 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: If that sounds like you and Pittsburgh. 137 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: Give the Lord a mighty, mighty handcloud when the bridegroom 138 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: was delayed. This is an interesting scripture. 139 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: I wish I could have my cousin Teddy come here 140 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: and talk about it with me a little. I'd like 141 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: to hear his take on it, because it doesn't say 142 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 3: some of them became drowsy and slept. It says they 143 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: all became drowsy and slipt. So say this with me. 144 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: There is a natural push for me to become drowsy 145 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: and spiritually sleepy. Some of you invited people here this 146 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: this Sunday. You know you should come. Yeah, I'm thinking 147 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: about guy, and you're drowsy. 148 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: You know. 149 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: It doesn't say they all they all gave God the 150 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: bridegroom the middle finger and stormed off. They became drowsy 151 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: and slept. Well, what happens if you build a fire 152 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: and go to sleep and nobody tends it. 153 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: What happens, Yeah, it doesn't get it doesn't get better, 154 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: it gets worse. 155 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 3: If it's in a fireplace or house, basically any anywhere 156 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: outside of southern California, fires go out somehow they do 157 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: get stronger unattended out there. So say this with me. 158 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: A fire has to be kept burning. Pulling Leviticus six 159 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: thirteen up. Remember the fire must be kept burning on 160 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: the altar at all times. The fire must never go out. 161 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: I want you to close both eyes, lift your right hand. 162 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: That's my title and my message today. Say the fire 163 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 3: must never go out. And today God's gonna light a 164 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 3: fire in you that you're gonna be able to point 165 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 3: back to February whatever today is, the twenty third February 166 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 3: twenty third, twenty twenty five. That's the day I cease 167 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: being an American Nornimal Christian, and I got on fire 168 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: for God. I got filled with a supernatural passion to 169 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: put God first and to make an impact on my generation. 170 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: That's gonna be you. I prophesy in the name of Jesus. 171 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 3: You're gonna make heaven. You're gonna overcome every obstacle on 172 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: the way. You're gonna be strong in the Lord and 173 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: the power of his mate, and he that began a 174 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: good work in you, we'll bring it to completion in Jesus' name. 175 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: If you receive that one more time, clap your hands 176 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: and give the Lord a mighty shall. 177 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five seven. Sorry. 178 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: At six at midnight, they were roused by the shell. Look, 179 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 3: the bridegroom is coming. Come out and meet him. All 180 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 3: the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then the 181 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: five foolish ones asked the others, please give us some 182 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: of your oil, because our lamps are going out. But 183 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 3: the others replied, we don't have enough oil for all 184 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 3: of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves. 185 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: But while they were gone to buy oil, some people 186 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: are just continually trying to get better, and they never 187 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: get better. You know, life's a continual improvement. Yeah, I'm 188 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: working on a few things. I need to work on this. 189 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,119 Speaker 3: You know, Christianity's not working on a few things. Christianity 190 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: is surrendering your life at an altar. And if you'll 191 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: do that today, you know the altar in Leviticus was 192 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 3: an actual wood altar where they laid animals, but we 193 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 3: don't lay animals in the New Covenant. 194 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: You are the. 195 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 3: Sacrifice on the altar, and the fire that consume those 196 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 3: animals is to consume you. I wanna implore every mother, 197 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: every father like me, every mother like a dollars, every teenager, 198 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: every child, every grandparent to make up your mind today. 199 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get on fire for God. I'm gonna stay 200 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 3: on fire for God. I'm gonna move closer to God, 201 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: not further away. And it's not one of my sermon points, 202 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna tell you. You say, how do you 203 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: know you're on fire for God when other Christians have 204 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: an intervention to tell you that you need to calm down? 205 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: How many you experienced that in some form of another 206 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: during twenty one days of prin fasting And I don't 207 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: really think you need to fast. Okay, what book of 208 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 3: the Bible did you write? Since you're countermanding Jesus, you 209 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: should have some serious credentials. People that never had a 210 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 3: problem with you drinking yourself blackout drunk would laugh when 211 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 3: you told them stories of what happened on the weekend 212 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 3: of things that were destroying you and sending you to hell. 213 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: Now you go to a church and all of a sudden, 214 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: they never had a problem with what bar you attended. 215 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 3: In this family, we go to mckinski's bar. No, didn't 216 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: let you go to whatever bar you want, never raise 217 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: a concern. But now that you started coming here, your 218 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: family all turned into theologian. I don't know if I 219 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: believe in that. Yeah, you don't even read the Bible, 220 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: and so what is that. Once the devil realizes he's 221 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: lost you, he then focuses his attention to turn you 222 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: into an americanized, westernized nothing of a Christian who never 223 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: tells anybody about Jesus. 224 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you what fire does. If I 225 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: didn't have fire. 226 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 4: You are not trained in ministry school to pray for 227 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 4: that lady whose baby has a heart on the wrong 228 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 4: side of a chest and one long and ten percent 229 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 4: chance of living, and they're telling her you need to 230 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 4: relax and just accept what's going to happen. 231 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 3: You're tald, you know those people are You know they're delusional. 232 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 3: That's the step called denial where people don't want that 233 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: to happen. And so you know what I should have 234 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: done in my training, put my hand on the lady's 235 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 3: shoulder and says and go into that stupid voice. It's 236 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: like if Xanax was a voice. We sometimes we need 237 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: to accept, you know, or sneak it into your prayer. 238 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: Okay, I'll pray with you. Father. Let her accept your will. 239 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: And those many times we want something, it's your will. 240 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: Where do you get that from? Now? 241 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: Show me somebody in the Bible that came to Jesus 242 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: for healing and he tried to talk him out of it, 243 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 3: or told him one day, you'll get it in heaven 244 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: or Humans always want carnal things, but you should be 245 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: interested in spiritual things. When blind people came to Jesus, 246 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: he opened their eyes. When death people came to Jesus, 247 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: he unstopped their ears. When the cripple came to Christ, 248 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 3: he made them walk. When the tormented came, he left 249 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: them they were naked and tormented, and left them clothing 250 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 3: in their right mind, Jesus was a situation changer. He 251 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: didn't teach faith. 252 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: Listen. 253 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: He didn't teach faith as a coping mechanism. He taught 254 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 3: faith as something that moves mountains, that you can speak 255 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: to that man. No, not faith helps us understand that 256 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: that mountain will never move. Faith will cause you to 257 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: speak to that mountain and tell that heart to get 258 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: on the right. 259 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: Side of the chest. Tell the lung to. 260 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 3: Grow her second love, Tell the eyes to see, tell 261 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: the kidneys to work. Faith in God, We'll move some 262 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 3: mighty mountain. Face in God, We'll call my trouble. Say faith, 263 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: We'll turn all your situations around. 264 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: Hi. We are Terry and Joey from New Orleans, Louisiana. 265 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 5: We are in Fort Worth Church and Revival today. We 266 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 5: came this morning and there was a healing prayer line 267 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 5: that went forth. Jonathan and Adallas prayed for everybody. And 268 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 5: I had a psiatic pain that I had been dealing 269 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 5: with for years that I just learned to deal with 270 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: and I even stopped complaining about it. And I've been 271 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 5: believing God. But this morning, I said, Lord, this has 272 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 5: to be my day. And even while they were praying 273 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 5: on the platform, I could feel the pain going away, 274 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 5: and I just started praising God, and thank God, ain't 275 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 5: actually crying because it's just that big of a deal 276 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 5: to turn at night in the bed. Even I take 277 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 5: care of my grandchild to pick her up, and it 278 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 5: hurts so badly, but I just learned to deal with it. 279 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 5: But I thank God I don't have to deal with 280 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 5: it anymore. Is gone, It is never coming back. I'm 281 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 5: just walking and dancing, and I just praise God for that, 282 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 5: so thank you so much. 283 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: When death people came to Jesus, he unstopped their ears. 284 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: When the cripple came to Christ, he made them walk. 285 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 3: When the tormented came, he left them. They were naked 286 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: and tormented, and they left them clothing. In their right mind, 287 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: Jesus was a situation changer. He didn't teach faith listen. 288 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: He didn't teach faith as a coping mechanism. He taught 289 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: faith as something that moves mountains, that you can speak 290 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: to that man. 291 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: No not. 292 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: Faith helps us understand that that mountain will never move. 293 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 3: Faith will cause you to speak to that mountain and 294 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 3: tell that heart to get on the right side of 295 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: the chest, Tell the lung to grow a second love, 296 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: tell the eyes to see, tell the kidneys to work. 297 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: Faith in God will move a mighty mountain. Faith in God, 298 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: we'll call a trouble to see. Faith will turn all 299 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: your situations around. Hallelujah. That's fire, that's faith on fire. 300 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: Passion for God, believe in God, believing His word, having 301 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 3: it overflow out of you. Just to compliment Texas and 302 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh like I did last week. One of the church 303 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 3: consultants that we have, they said, churches that have an 304 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: average attendance of forty five hundred people in a service 305 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: on Sundays have about one sixth the income that your 306 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: church has and the same amount of volunteers. Well, you 307 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 3: want to know why, because if you have forty five 308 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 3: hundred lukewarm people, they'll do less than whatever we have. 309 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 3: What twelve hundred maybe today between both places will outproduce 310 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: five times the amount of people. 311 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Because when you. 312 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: Start getting real Bible, God doesn't have to outnumber the Canaanites. 313 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 3: Joshua and Caleb can take it all by themselves. One 314 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: will put a thousand to flight, two will put ten thousand. 315 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: That's called exponential increase. When you start linking up with 316 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 3: the people of faith. And I don't know about you, 317 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 3: but I kind of do know about you. I made 318 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: up my mind. Let the mockers mock, let the doubters dout. 319 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go find people that have made up their mind. 320 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: I'm serving Jesus I'm gonna advancee. I'm gonna preach the gospel. 321 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: I'm gonna pray for the city. I'm gonna cast out devils. 322 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: That's what revival today is. It's like become like a 323 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: magnet where everybody that's had enough of dead religion. 324 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't wanna be a pharisee. 325 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 3: I don't wanna have a YouTube channel where I talk 326 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 3: about other people that pray and preach and how their 327 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: sermons are wrong.

That's why I don't have pastor Appreciation Day. 360 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 3: I can't see throwing a party in the third quarter 361 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 3: of a football game. 362 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: Finish the game. I mean, do you remember back. 363 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 3: When the Steeler had Roethlisberger and everybody is like Penguins too. 364 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 3: They never could just make it easy on you every 365 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 3: game if they were up twenty eight. 366 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: You're like, just way, it's gonna be a three point game. 367 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: If the Penguins were up five to one, it'd be 368 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 3: five to four, and then they let the team tie it, 369 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 3: and then they went down six to five, and then 370 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 3: they won seven to six. You know, and then sometimes 371 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: when you looked over at the sideline, twenty eight you know, 372 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: twenty eight point leads sounds like a lot till the 373 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 3: team gets two more touchdowns and you'd see them up 374 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 3: twenty eight points, high fiving, laughing. I'm not against laughing, 375 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 3: I'm pro laughing, but I'd wait a little bit. Quit 376 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 3: dropping back in the prevent defense and losing the lead. 377 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 3: You have them on the back foot, take them out, 378 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 3: keep the attack mentality. Now, none of these are in 379 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: my notes, but I missed all eight points first service, 380 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 3: and it looks like I'm on the same path. 381 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: Now. I want to tell you something. Fire'll do. 382 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 3: Fire He'll puts you on the attack. Fire will quit 383 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 3: having you sit back and have life happen. 384 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: To you, and it'll put something on you where you 385 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: go out and happen to life. 386 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 3: You'll stop asking for prayer that the devil's attacking you, 387 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 3: and the devil have to have a prayer service at 388 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 3: the Satanic temple because this Christian keeps harassing me and 389 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 3: rebuking me and binding me and casting me out and 390 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 3: shutting down my meth laps and breaking the hold of fentanyl. 391 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: That's the group of Christians that I'm looking at. We're 392 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: not here to get attacked. We're here to do the attacking. 393 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: Come on, take thirty seconds and lift it up. Lift 394 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: it up. 395 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 3: Hallelujah, somebody say, I'm. 396 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: On the attack. 397 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: It's hard to get attacked when you're the attacker. It's 398 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 3: hard to get attacked when you're the attacker. Get something 399 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: in your crosshairs. Target something in the spirit. You drive 400 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: by a psychic shop every day on your way to work, 401 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 3: Try cursing it on the way by, in the name 402 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 3: of Jesus, not f you like a Bible curse. 403 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: I curse that spirit behind that building. 404 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 3: I curse that foul spirit that takes advantage of people 405 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: that are breathing the loss of their loved ones trying 406 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 3: to contact them from the dead, You foul shop.

Turn to next thirteen. Starting to 411 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 3: lose people because they don't think it's in the Bible, 412 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 3: go to Acts thirteen.

Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. 414 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: X thirteen one. 415 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: So rather than tell you about how contact waiting for 416 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 3: the coming of the Lord, let's see some guys that 417 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 3: did it right, like Paul x thirteen one. Among the 418 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 3: prophets and teachers of the Church of Antioch of Syria 419 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 3: were Barnabas, Simeon, you can call them that, Lucius, Manighan, 420 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: and Saul verse two. Definitely not doing that in February. 421 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 3: I mean, show some respect. One day as these men 422 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 3: were worshiping the Lord. 423 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: And what. 424 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 3: Fasting is an acceller and a fire. Because your body 425 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 3: and your flesh comes against your spirit, the Bible says, 426 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: the war isn't between you and the devil. 427 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: The devil's already defeated, but your flesh is strong. The 428 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: younger you are, the stronger your flesh is. That's why 429 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. 430 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 3: Did anybody have a relative that had nothing to do 431 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: with Church or God? And when they turned like sixty, 432 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 3: sixty five or seventy, started like going to church. 433 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: You just found out they were going to church or whatever. Anybody. 434 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I flesh that out, and the s 435 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 3: doesn't that they still have a spirit that longs for God. 436 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 3: So you know, if you have like a great uncle, No, 437 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 3: he was great. I'm talking like your grandfather's brother. And 438 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 3: he was like a known adulter. He ran around with 439 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 3: women all the time. He quit when he was like 440 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 3: sixty five, sony because his flesh got weak. You know, 441 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 3: you ran around with women when you were twenty five. 442 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 3: When you turn seventy, it's hard to get motivated to 443 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 3: go to the refrigerator to get a mountain dew. Just 444 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 3: go thirsty and I'd like one, but it's out of reach. 445 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 3: So fasting crucifies the flesh. That's why even when you 446 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 3: get into fasting, everybody tries to get you to do 447 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 3: anything but not eat. Find the fast that's right for you. 448 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 3: I can help you fast food. Find the fast that's 449 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 3: right for you. Maybe you want to fast television or radio? 450 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 3: And the preacher said fast radio? 451 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: What is it? In nineteen thirty six? 452 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 3: Maybe you want to fast the telegram or morse code, 453 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 3: the phonograph, anything but food. 454 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: Fasting, and worshiping. 455 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 3: The Lord the Holy Spirit said, appoint Barnabas and Saul 456 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 3: for the special work which I've called them. So after 457 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on 458 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 3: them and sent them on their way. So what happened 459 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 3: when they went on their way? First missionary journey. So 460 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 3: Barnabas and Saul were sent out by the Holy Spirit. 461 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 3: They went down to the seaport of Solution, and then 462 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 3: sailed to the island of Cyprus. They're in the town 463 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 3: of Salamis. They went to the Jewish synagogue and preached 464 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 3: the Word of God. John Mark went with them as 465 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 3: their assistant. Afterward, they traveled from town to town across 466 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 3: the entire island, until finally they reached Paphos, where they 467 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 3: were met by a Jewish sorcerer, a false prophet named 468 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 3: bar Jesus. Say this out loud. The greater the anointing, 469 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 3: the greater the opposition. So you may not have written 470 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 3: one third of the New test two thirds of the 471 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 3: New Testament like Paul. So you might not have a 472 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 3: demon possessed sorcerer that's making it his business to stop you. 473 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: But everybody, nobody comes to their promised land with no giants. 474 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 3: There's giants in every man's promised land. So the devil 475 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: can't stop you. He can just put obstacles that'll get 476 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 3: you to turn back. Nobody fought. Think of this with me, David. 477 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: Did it come on the scene And eleven hundred Israelites 478 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 3: had been by Goliath, and that's why nobody would fight him. 479 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: No one had fought him. 480 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 3: No, but no, none of the ten Spies fought any 481 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 3: of the giants in Canaan. All they did was get 482 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 3: discouraged and turned back on their own. So the devil 483 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 3: works by harassment. I mean they told me for two 484 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 3: and a half years, if I didn't stop preaching, they 485 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 3: were gonna they were gonna arrest me, find me, and 486 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 3: they never did, because the devil is great at bluffing. 487 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 3: But if you'd make him pull the trigger, there's no 488 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 3: bullets in the gun. Remember that, they said, if I 489 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 3: go to church on Sunday, they're gonna fire me. Go 490 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 3: make them fire you, Make them throw you in the 491 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 3: fiery furnace, make them throw you in the lions den, 492 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 3: and you'll find out. Even if they do the God 493 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 3: that you're serving, will save you from the lions, will 494 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 3: take you out of the fiery furnace. You can't curse 495 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: what God has blessed. And I see you blessed, I 496 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 3: see you any favor
