We serve a 82 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: living God. Told I've told that story before. Many of 83 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 3: you have heard it. That I was in a taxi 84 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 3: in New York City. And you don't want to assume 85 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 3: what religion someone is, but when their names Mohammed Muhammad, 86 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: you can take a guess. And so it was a 87 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: seventeen minute drive. I wasn't going to try to convert 88 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: a guy in his mid fifties to Christianity in fifteen minutes, 89 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: but I thought, well, I'll just use this trip to 90 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: learn about these Islamic faith from somebody that practices. So 91 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 3: I said, I said, now that you're in America, do 92 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 3: you still pray five times a day? 93 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: He said, I do. 94 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: I said, what are the times? Because I didn't know 95 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 3: he told me the times. So then I said, have 96 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 3: you been in the Islamic faith your whole life? He 97 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: said I have, I said, very nicely, not combatively. I 98 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: wasn't like setting up so I could tell him. 99 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 4: I just wanted to hear. 100 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: I said, now you think five times a day from 101 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 3: the time year four or five, that's a lot of praying. 102 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 4: Let's say he's lying and he only did three hundred 103 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 4: days a year. 104 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: That's fifteen hundred prayers a year times ten years is 105 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: fifteen thousand prayers times five is seventy five thousand prayers. 106 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: You know, one should hit. 107 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: If you buy seventy five thousand powerball tickets. This kind 108 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: of disappointing if you lose have arthritis by the time 109 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: you scratch them all off. So I said, I didn't say, 110 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 3: has God ever answered your prayer? I said, I said, 111 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 3: in all that time, what's the greatest answer to prayer 112 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: that you've ever seen? I'llah give you And he whipped 113 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: his head around. We were at a red lady. He went, 114 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: you're a Christian, aren't you. I said, what does that 115 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: have to do with anything? He said, I can tell 116 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: by the way you phrase the question that you're a 117 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: Christian because when we pray, we don't expect answers. 118 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: I feel like saying, you'd be right at home. 119 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: At most churches because when they pray, they don't expect 120 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: an answer. 121 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: But I'm telling you that. 122 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 3: I mean I see people's eyes not here when I 123 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 3: travel on the road and we play those testimony videos, 124 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: the ladies that were barren going up to fifty years old, 125 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 3: having children, and people just like Christians like that can happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 126 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 3: There's this book. You can crack it over. You read 127 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: all kinds of stories in here. These were not written 128 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: to help your children go to sleep at night. These 129 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: are record that we serve a supernatural God. 130 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 4: And then God say this out loud. 131 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: I serve a living God who's a supernatural god. 132 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 4: I told a business man this was her. 133 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: I don't get too many questions like this anymore. People 134 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: kind of leave me alone. Most people realize you're certifiably insane. 135 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: They just kind of give you some space. But you 136 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: know we. 137 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: Outgrow this building. Reverend, what are you going to do 138 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: about another building? I said, I didn't do anything about 139 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: the first building. If you've heard the story how we 140 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 3: got this one, it was a miracle. And I said, 141 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: God is the head of Jesus is the head of 142 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: this church. Jesus said, I will build my church and 143 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. He 144 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: No one's more aware that we're out of space than Jesus, 145 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: I said, And just like he opened this one up, 146 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: he'll open another one. He said, Well, if you get 147 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: a building bigger than this, you're looking at minimum twelve 148 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: million dollars in Pittsburgh. I said, yeah, and you'd be 149 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: looking at what's this five point through? It doesn't work 150 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: that there's another way to live life, and that way 151 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: is engaging prayer and fasting, because what you're going to 152 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: hear at most churches is that God has given us 153 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: all the same grace, and God has all the same blessings. 154 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: And then it's we don't know why some receive and 155 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: why some don't. You have to look at it like 156 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: money in a bank account. Everybody's got the same inheritance 157 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: laid up, but your ability to work an ATM machine 158 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: and a debit card to turn. You can starve to 159 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: death with three million dollars in the bank if you 160 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: don't know how to make a withdrawal on your account. 161 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: So God gave us actions to take that pull a 162 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: withdraw on the account. And the one of the major 163 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: ones is prayer and then fasting gives an acceleration to 164 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: your prayers. Now, when we started doing this, we used 165 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: to rent. I rented one of the ballrooms at the 166 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: meadow Lands. We'd have forty or sixty people down in 167 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 3: Washington County. This before I had a church. I fasten 168 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 3: and prayed. This isn't to get you to fast and pray. 169 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 4: It's like, I don't know the best way to get 170 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 4: this across. 171 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: I do these things because really, whoever shows up and 172 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: whoever gives, that's for your benefit. I have found a 173 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 3: way since I've been doing this, before we had a 174 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: church congregation, that I know how to engage God by 175 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: my faith Moses. Getting manna for three point one million 176 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: people every day was not a group effort. You couldn't 177 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: have met with twelve board members and said, how are 178 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: we gonna feed all these people every day in the desert. 179 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: Well, Mike has a dairy. Okay, that's gonna take care 180 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: of about one hundred. 181 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: Where do we go from there? There's ways to live life, 182 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: even in Christianity. There's your way and the ways of 183 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 3: the flesh, which are very hard. Fish fried dinners, you know, 184 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: that's that's what. If you don't want to fast and pray, 185 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: then your church can raise money by having fish dinners 186 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 3: every Wednesday. And then your church also owns a piece 187 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: of the fish place and gives the church a cut 188 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: of their sails on Wednesday. Everything's up the flesh. Everything. 189 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 4: There's no supernatural element. 190 00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 3: Most Christians, most ministries, most in America, there's zero trace 191 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: of a supernatural God anywhere in their ministry. There's no miracles, 192 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 3: there's no healings, there's no salvations, there's no supernatural money. 193 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 4: Everybody. 194 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 3: Everybody's living like the opposite of what the Bible said. 195 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: The Bible says, the Lord is your shepherd. You'll never lack. 196 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 3: You go to most churches the whole offerings about lack. 197 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 4: We know as many. 198 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: You know, the roof caved in when it snowed, and 199 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 3: so they said it's going to be about four hundred 200 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 3: thousand dollars to repair. 201 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 4: We told them we're a church, we don't have money 202 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 4: like that. 203 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 3: So people start developing screwy doctrine and belief because they 204 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: listen to no one's actually having what the Bible says 205 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 3: you can have. But I want to tell you you 206 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 3: can not only believe what the Bible says, you can 207 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: have exactly what the Bible says belongs to you. But 208 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: the Bible tells you there's a price to pay. Jesus 209 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 3: taught it like this. He told you three covenant responsibilities. 210 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 3: When you fast, when you pray, and when you give. 211 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: Those are three of the responsibilities a Christian has fasting, 212 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: not if you fast, if you give, if you pray. Now, 213 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: notice that most churches give all the believers a cop 214 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: out on all those giving praying fasting. 215 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: What church expects that of any Christian. 216 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: Now we're gonna have prayer meeting this week. Obviously no one. 217 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: That's not a mandatory service. And we're gonna It's like 218 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: three ladies with flags that their cats needed a break 219 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 3: from them, and their cat gashed up the car and said, 220 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: please go. 221 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 4: To the prayer meeting. 222 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: Prayer meeting anybody ever besides me been to a permitting 223 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: that's a ghost town. 224 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, no one's there. 225 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: Pastor's not there, nobody's praying, nobody I wish. 226 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: Okay. 227 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: Now it's early Sunday morning, so you can't say I'm 228 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: preaching against anyone or mocking anyone in particular. But scroll 229 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 3: through livestream today after you get home at some point 230 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 3: and listen to the churches that do announce a fast. 231 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 4: How many of them? 232 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: Now, many of you know there's people that like to 233 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 3: fast during this time. 234 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you what happened. 235 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 3: There's people that when we started doing these fasting in 236 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 3: prayers at the beginning of the year, I watched my 237 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 3: father do it. I didn't know anybody else that did 238 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: it much. I watched my dad do it. I started 239 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 3: doing it. There wasn't really the internet ven it was 240 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 3: in the infancy. Jensen Franklin wrote a book in two 241 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 3: thousand and four or five on fasting in prayer, and 242 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: you could tell a move started in the country where 243 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 3: people got hungry for God and started to fast and pray. Well, 244 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: the pastors weren't the source of it. The pastors almost 245 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 3: like found out their people. It's interesting that in people 246 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year, there's a desire to 247 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: have a different year. 248 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 4: And so if you. 249 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 3: Don't know the Bible, Christian or not Christian, then you 250 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: just make New Year's resolutions or you know, I'm gonna 251 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: do something. I'm gonna start getting up twenty minutes earlier, 252 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 3: stuff like that, do whatever some kind of podcast told 253 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: you to do. But then the Bible, when you read it, 254 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 3: told you fasting in prayer is not. 255 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 4: A punishment, it's a say this out loud. 256 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: Fasting in prayer is not a punishment. It's a platform 257 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 3: for divine change and divine power. 258 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, so Christians started doing it. 259 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: Christians started getting hungry, and so they'd watch Jensen Franklin, 260 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: or they'd watch maybe one maybe just him. I don't 261 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 3: know if any other ministers that would facilitate that. Then 262 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: it's almost like churches didn't want their people having to 263 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 3: watch other people. 264 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 4: So it's like, Okay, we know a lot of you are. 265 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: Going to pray and fast, so we're not saying anybody 266 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 3: has to do it or and everybody find the fast 267 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 3: that's right for you, and we're gonna lazily post a 268 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 3: scripture once every two days on our Instagram from. 269 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 4: Our media team. No prayer. 270 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: What do pastors think their job is? A pastor's job 271 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: is to feed the sheep. If you work in the 272 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 3: oil field, you don't send other people to the oil 273 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 3: field on your behalf. You don't any job you do 274 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 3: you don't like show up here and there. Pastor should 275 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: have a church where people can come. My house shall 276 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 3: be called a house of prayer. It's supposed to be 277 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: placed where people come in pray. It's one of the 278 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: reasons our church has grown. All I did was find 279 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: out what does the boss actually want a church to 280 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: look like? 281 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 4: Does he want it to be full. 282 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 3: For eighty five minutes once a week and sit empty 283 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 3: for six and a half days or is it to 284 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: be a continuion? Should Muslims be coming to a mosque 285 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: five times a day to pray and Christians never come. 286 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: The passion for Christ in the Christian Church of America 287 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: should trounce the passion for any foreign God in every 288 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: other house. That's what revival today church is, and that's 289 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: why God has blessed us and. 290 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: Rewarded us with great things. 291 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: And twenty twenty six is going to be the best 292 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: year that you and your family have ever had in 293 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: Jesus Mighty name. 294 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: If you believe it, can you say amen? 295 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: Hi. 296 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: My name's Carly Johnson.

March third of twenty twenty four, I 301 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: ended up trying to take my life. There was a 302 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: four point six inch blade that went into my chest, 303 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: punctured a hole with my lung, and I was bleeding 304 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: out when I ended up at the hospital. My sister 305 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: actually went to Pastor Jonathan's church that day and he 306 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: was teaching about you'll live and not die.

They told 311 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: my dad and my sister they said if I were 312 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: to hit an artery that I would be dead by now. 313 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: So I was in the ICU for two days and 314 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: I was waiting to get surgery to get the blood 315 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: cloths out.

After I got out 334 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: of the hospital, I went to church the following Sunday, 335 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: I got out of my relationship and I found Jesus. 336 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: Because of that, he saved my life. I've never felt 337 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 2: so loved in my entire life. I never knew this, 338 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: I could be the best version of me and who 339 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 2: he wanted me to be. So I've been sober completely 340 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: from everything, smoking, drinking for eight and a half months now, 341 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: and I think it was possible. I really tried everything 342 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: I could do except for going to Jesus and putting 343 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 2: my everything to him, and I've never been happier in 344 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: my entire life. I didn't go to Jesus because I 345 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: had an easy life. I went to Jesus because he 346 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: showed me that my life was worth living. 347 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 3: That's what Revival Today Church is, and that's why God 348 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 3: has blessed us. 349 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 4: And rewarded us with great things. 350 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: And twenty twenty six is going to be the best 351 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 3: year that you and your family have ever had in Jesus' 352 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 3: mighty name. 353 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 4: If you believe it, can you say amen? So now 354 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 4: you'll hear it. 355 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: I guarantee if you flip through church live streams, there's 356 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: going to be where you know you don't want everybody 357 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: watching somebody else's live stream because then they might give 358 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 3: their offerings to that ministry. So we're gonna if you 359 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: want to if you feel to fast. It doesn't say 360 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 3: if you feel to pray. It doesn't say if you 361 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: feel to give, and it doesn't say if you feel 362 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: to fast. 363 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 4: We read it. I read it. 364 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 3: Yesterday on that broadcast that I did. The disciples of 365 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 3: John the Baptist came to Jesus and said, our disciples, 366 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 3: John the Baptist Disciples, are always fasting. 367 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 4: Yours are always feasting. Peter had like a. 368 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: Big mouthful of fish. You guys are always eating, and 369 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 3: John the Baptist Disciples are always fasting. Jesus said, does 370 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: the bread do the grooms men mourn while they're with 371 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: the groom? No, but one day the groom will be 372 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 3: taken from them, and then they will fast. Then Jesus said, 373 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 3: no student is greater than his teacher, and no servant 374 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 3: is greater than the master. But then the servant will 375 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 3: do what he sees the master do and will become 376 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: like the master. So no one can ever be greater 377 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 3: than Jesus. Though Jesus told us we will do greater 378 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 3: works than him were under Christ. But Christ said, you 379 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 3: can't just claim my promises. You have to follow the 380 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 3: Paul told Timothy, follow the pattern of right living that 381 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 3: you suffer me. Jesus said, you can't be greater than me, 382 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 3: but if you'll live like I role modeled living, then you'll. 383 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 4: Live like I live. 384 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 3: Well, what does the Bible give record of Jesus often 385 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: slept until late in the day, would wake up and 386 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: have an sandwich and check the news call in the 387 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 3: ninety three seven and argue about the Steelers offensive line. 388 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 3: Jesus often woke up win later early and went out 389 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 3: to do what pray. So prayer is not something you 390 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 3: do because you don't have a good grasp on the Bible. 391 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 3: Some of these people think you got to pray. Bible 392 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 3: already says I have these things. That's right, but there's 393 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: an accessing of them through prayer and fasting. 394 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 4: Did Jesus fast or not? So? 395 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 3: If Jesus, with no earthly father and no stain of sin, 396 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 3: often fasted and prayed, he was fasted and praying. In 397 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: Mark nine, he began his ministry with a forty day fast. 398 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone should ever have to fast more 399 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 3: than three days. Well, invent a time machine and go back. 400 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 4: And correct Jesus. 401 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: There's long fast all through the Bible, and so we 402 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 3: do this one here. 403 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 4: Does anyone know the times? 404 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 3: Six am to six pm? Now we took questions yesterday. 405 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 3: This happens every year. 406 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 4: What about what can I do? 407 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 3: After six? You can eat the fast over at six? 408 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 3: Put Judges twenty twenty six up on the screen. Judges 409 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Judges Chapter twenty, verse twenty six. 410 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 4: Then all the children of Israel and the people went up. 411 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 4: Put in the NLT if you would. 412 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 3: All the Israelites went up to Bethel and whipped in 413 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 3: the presence of the Lord and fasted until when they 414 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 3: also brought burna offerings and peace offerings to the Lord 415 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 3: verse thirty five thirty five. So the Lord helped Israel defeat. 416 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: They were fasting it till evening, and the Lord helped 417 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: Israel defeat Benjamin. They had lost before that time. They 418 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: went back and the Israelites killed twenty five thy one 419 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: hundred of Benjamin's warriors, all of whom were experienced swordsmen. 420 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 3: You know, when you read these Old Testament stories, these 421 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: people were like cousins. 422 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 4: And I said he that they go. 423 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 3: Why are these people going to war against their other 424 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: family members. But now that I'm forty five, I kind 425 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 3: of get it. How many of you have a family 426 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: that's pretty close to arming themselves and going after one 427 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 3: of the other households. So they lost the first time. 428 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 3: The Bible says they fasted until evening and then they 429 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 3: went out, and this time God gave them the victory. 430 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: So I said this yesterday when I was and I 431 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: would encourage you to watch the broadcast I did yesterday 432 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 3: because I took questions on practical questions on fasting. 433 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 4: Okay, so we're doing six am to six pm. What 434 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 4: does fasting mean? It means can you grab my tweet. 435 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 3: From yesterday that I had put up fasting? The reason 436 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: you're not gonna hear me say what you hear a 437 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: lot of churches say on livestream today. Find the fast 438 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 3: that's right for you. Maybe you don't want to fast food. 439 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 3: Maybe you want to fast television unless your deep friend 440 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 3: TVs and eating them. It's not a fast fasting, that's it. 441 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 3: In the Hebrew ts you with a thingy over it 442 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: and m meaning to fast. 443 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: That's what it's called in Hebrew fingy to fast, to 444 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 4: abstain from food, literally carries. 445 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 3: The idea of closing the mouth from eating. That word 446 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 3: tsum and the Hebrew means to close the mouth from food. 447 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 3: So there are no fast in the Bible that didn't 448 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 3: involve not eating. There's nowhere where it says Peter loved 449 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 3: to fish, but decided to fast fishing so you could 450 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: be closer to the master. You can walk away from 451 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 3: other things to consecrate yourself to God. 452 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: You know. 453 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 3: It's like like, say you like to golf, like I 454 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 3: like to play video games. So say somebody liked to golf, 455 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: and they said, you know what, I golf every day 456 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 3: after work, But for this next week, I'm gonna instead 457 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: of golfing those nine holes, I'm gonna go and pray 458 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 3: and read my Bible for an hour and a half. 459 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: That's not a good thing. That's not a bad thing. 460 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 4: That's a good thing. But it's not fasting. 461 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 3: Just like giving to the poor is good, it's not fasting. 462 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 3: Everything has its place, and so fasting literally means to 463 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: close the mouth. 464 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 4: Can I see the tweet again, to close the mouth 465 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 4: from food usage? 466 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 3: In scripture, they fasted that day until evening. Everywhere, everywhere 467 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 3: fasting is used. It's closing the mouth from food. Finnish 468 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 3: dake said, since man lost his original place with God 469 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: through food, wouldn't it make sense that something is only 470 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: gained back when he pushes food away to drop back 471 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: to God. So literally, when you fast, you're reversing what 472 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: Adam did. 473 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 4: Adam and then Esa how did? 474 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 3: It was not supposed to be the god of Abraham, 475 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 3: Isaac and Jacob. 476 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 4: It was supposed to be the god of Abraham, Isaac 477 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 4: and Isa. 478 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 3: But Isa wanted food and his brother said, oh you 479 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: want food? En up from Will you give me your birthright, 480 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 3: your spiritual blessing and I'll make you soup again. It 481 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: feels me it never happen because I don't want soup. 482 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 3: I like chewing food, and so he said, yeah, I 483 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 3: want food. So Esa and the Bible brings it out 484 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 3: other places. Esau lost his birthright for a morsel of 485 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 3: meat or for the stew that Jacob made, And how 486 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: did Jacob get it? Jacob understood there is power. When 487 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: Abraham laid hands on my father, it did something to him, and. 488 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 4: I want him to lay hands on me. 489 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 3: And I want to be the one that's next in 490 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 3: line for the inheritance that God has I'm telling you this. 491 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 4: You can say I'm in like a good mood. 492 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 3: On like yesterday afternoon when I was doing that broadcast. 493 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: But this is not condemning. I'm not even gonna be 494 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 3: here a dollars. We're doing. We're launching our Christian television 495 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 3: network tomorrow, America's Faith and Family, run by the CEO 496 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 3: of Real America's Voice, and the man that's in charge 497 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 3: of developing it is the man that turns Sophora from 498 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: one guy's makeup store to a nationwide makeup store.
