1 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Hello. My name is Dimitri Bonder, and I got a 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: testimony about God's power. I bought a book of Jonathan's 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: and it's called How God Heals. I was reading the 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: book every single day right at front the back. 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: My father in. 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: Law got hurt on the farm and he hurt his 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: finger real bad, and that turned into infection. Sure enough, 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: he had steps to send his blood. The infection went 9 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: to his blood. He went to the hospital and they 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: realized that the infection was in his heart, and so 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: they flew him to Spokane. He needed emergency procedures done. 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: The doctors were saying that the infection got so bad 13 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: that they were going to cut his fingers off. And 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: my wife tells me, hey, call my dad and pray 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: for him. I'm like, you know, the power of God 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: lives inside of us as born again Christians and believers 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: in Jesus Christ, and the same period that raised Christ 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: from the dead lives inside of me. There's a page 19 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: in that book that talks about believing in your heart, 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: confessing with your mouth, and receiving in my left hand. 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm gripping this book on that page and I called 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: my father in law. My heart is pounding and I'm like, Dad, 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: do you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ will 24 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: heal you? 25 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: Right now? 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: Do you confess with your mouth that Christ is Lord 27 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: and he's your healer, that by his stripes you were 28 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: a heal You're gonna receive her now? Are you going 29 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: to receive her now? He's like, yes, yes, I will. 30 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: And so we started praying, started attacking it. I was 31 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: praying in English, he was praying to Russian, and that 32 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit started giving me words, you know, speak 33 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: death to the infections, speak life to his body, speak 34 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: life to his immune system. It was about, you know, 35 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: three to five minute prayer and that was it. You know, 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: I said, you know, God bless you and I'll talk 37 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: to you later. They said he was going to be 38 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: in the hospital for like a month, it's going to 39 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: be weeks. And the very next blood test they do, 40 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: it comes back clear. That's the power that God gave 41 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: us through the name of Jesus, that we are able 42 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: to attack anything that's attacking us. We're able to attack 43 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: it in Jesus' name, in prevail and have victory. My 44 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: wife was like, man, you're just a completely changed guy. 45 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, you know, nobody in my family 46 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: will ever be sick. Like my kids get sick. I 47 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: attack it. Anybody else like we rejected, we were returned 48 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: to sender. The victory is in the blood of Jesus. 49 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: We are raising up a family in this church. We're 50 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: raising up a family in Pittsburgh. We're raising up a 51 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: family in Texas that don't just. 52 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: Know about God. They know God. 53 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: They've handled his power, They've seen his power flow through it. 54 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: You're coming out of here today carrying fresh fire, fresh 55 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: unknowing take never to take another backwards stamp sick and 56 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: Samuel the sixth chapter, verse nine, The Bible says David 57 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 3: was now afraid of the Lord because they had they 58 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: were moving the Ark of the Covenant. It stumbled on 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: an ox cart, and then a man went to brace 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: it so didn't fall off the back, and when he 61 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: touched it, you want to touch it, and he died. 62 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: So David was now afraid of the Lord, and he asked, 63 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: how can I ever bring the Ark of the Lord 64 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: back into my care? So David decided not to move 65 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: the Ark of the Lord into the city of David. Instead, 66 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: he took it into the house of obed Edom of Gath. 67 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 3: The Ark of the Lord remained there in obed Edam's 68 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: house for three months, and the Lord blessed obed Edom 69 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: and his entire household. Say it with me, the Lord 70 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: blessed obed Edom and his entire household. Then King David 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: was told, the Lord has blessed obed Edam's household. So 72 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: it wasn't a little blessing. It wasn't like they could 73 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: feel they felt happier. It was a blessing that was 74 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: discernible from the outside. That word actually traveled from Gath 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: to Jerusalem to the rest of the country, that this 76 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: guy that we put the ark of the Covenant in 77 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: his house, everything in his house is going up. His 78 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: animals put a mark. They go to Deuteronomy twenty eight. 79 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: Eudonomy twenty eight. Deuteronomy twenty eight, Verse one. If you 80 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep on 81 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: his commands that I'm giving you today, the Lord will 82 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: set you high above all the nations of the world. 83 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: You will experience, it must say, I'll experience not some 84 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: of these blessings, all these blessings. If you obey the 85 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: Lord your God, your towns in your fields will be blessed. 86 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 3: Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring 87 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,559 Speaker 3: of your herds and flocks will be blessed. Your fruit, 88 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: baskets and bread boards will be blessed. Wherever you go, 89 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: and whatever you do, you will be blessed. The Lord 90 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They'll attack 91 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: you from one direction, but they'll scatter from you. In seven, 92 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: the Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do, 93 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: and will fill your storehouses with grain. Now, if you 94 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: were here last week we talked about breaking generational curses. 95 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 3: Look at seven. The Lord will conquer your enemies when 96 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: they attack you. Would you consider a demon a friend 97 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: or an enemy? 98 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 2: Okay? 99 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 3: So how can anybody walk with God in obedience and 100 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: be under the curse of a demon spirit? When the 101 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: Bible says, if you obey me, no further prayer required. 102 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: If you obey me, your enemy that looks to attack you, 103 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: I will make him. 104 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: Now, you'll pray him away. 105 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: I will shield you from your enemy and make him 106 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 3: run from you in seven directions. Can you say, amen, 107 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: say it one more time. I'm blessed and not cursed. 108 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 3: If you obey the commands of the Lord your God 109 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: and walk in his ways. The Lord will establish you 110 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: as his holy people, as he swore he would do. 111 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: Then all the nations of the world will see that 112 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: you're a people claimed by God, and they'll stand in 113 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: of you. The Lord will give you prosperity, and the 114 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: landy swarthy your ancestors to give you, blessing you with 115 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: many children. Let me know on the screen, do you 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 3: guys have the recap from this weekend or at least 117 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: the other church, And I'd like to show what everybody's 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 3: a part of here. 119 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: If you don't have it, no big deal. 120 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 3: The Lord will send rain, blessing you with many children, 121 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: numerous livestock, and abundant crops. The Lord will send rain 122 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 3: at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens, 123 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 3: and will bless all the work you do. You will 124 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: lend to many, but you will never borrow. They must say, 125 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: I'll lend to many, but I'll never borrow. If you 126 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: listen to these commands of the Lord your God that 127 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 3: I'm giving you today, and be careful to obey them, 128 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: the Lord will make you always the head and never 129 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: the tale. That's not one victory, that's constant victory, always 130 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: the head and never the tail, always on top and 131 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: never at the bottom. The last defeat you saw is 132 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: the last one you ever see. You must not turn 133 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: away from any of the commands I'm giving you today, 134 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 3: nor follow after other gods, and worship him. So that blessing, 135 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: because it's the same blessing all through the Bible. That 136 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: blessing started to manifest in that guy's house. And the 137 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: thing I like about that scripture, it didn't say after 138 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: nine years that oh Beedidam's home was blessed. 139 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: It said after three months. Everybody say ninety days. 140 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: So they take this wooden box that holds the presence 141 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: of God, set it in this guy's house, and all 142 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: these things start happening in ninety days. His crops start growing, 143 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: his animals are healthy. Cows are having healthy cows, goats 144 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: are having healthy goats, his children are healthy. All the 145 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 3: things the Bible said started to materialize in that house. 146 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 3: Put a scripture up Hebrews chapter eight, verse six. Hebrews 147 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: chapter eight, verse six. The Devin, if you give me 148 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: a little more in the monitors would be great. 149 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: Hebrews eight six. 150 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: But now hath he being Jesus obtained a more excellent ministry. 151 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: By how much. 152 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: Also, he is the mediator of a better covenant, which 153 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 3: was established on better promises. So what happens is when 154 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: people don't believe in the blessing of God, what they 155 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 3: make it out is that God blessed the Jewish people 156 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: in the Old Testament. But he doesn't do that anymore. Well, 157 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: you got a couple of scriptural problems if you believe that. 158 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: Number One, the Bible says, I am the Lord God, 159 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: and I change. 160 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: Not say that with me. 161 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 3: I am the Lord God, and I change not. So 162 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: God never changes. That's why you know, if people have 163 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: a problem with healing, we don't believe that healings for today, 164 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: then God would have changed because God did it. 165 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: Heal is a hobby. 166 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: In the Old Testament, he said, I am Jehovah Rapha, 167 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: I am the Lord your healer. I am Jehovah Jirah, 168 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 3: the God who provides all your needs. I am el 169 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: should die, the God of more than enough. Those are 170 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: not like things God does. That's God's name in nature, 171 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: and the Bible says he never changes. It was say 172 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: he never changes. Then Secondly, not only does he not change, 173 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: the Bible says, our access to the things that He 174 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: gave us is now not worse. 175 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: It's not that he healed people in the Old Testament. 176 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: Some on one oh five thirty seven, he brought them 177 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: out of Egypt loaded with silver and gold, and there 178 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 3: was not one feeble or sickly among their tribe. Well, 179 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: he didn't do that in the Old Testament, and then 180 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 3: he lost his ability to do it with the New 181 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: Covenant saints, the Bible says the exact opposite. 182 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: He is now the mediator Jesus. 183 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,119 Speaker 3: Of a better covenant, which is built on better promises. 184 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: So when you see that that arc of the covenant 185 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: that was placed in that house caused the whole house 186 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: to get blessed in ninety days, you should have an 187 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: expectation that that's going to happen less. You should have 188 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 3: an expectation that, as you serve God that it happens 189 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: more because we have a better covenant built on better promises. 190 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 2: Can you say, amen, I. 191 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: Want to ask you a question, and I'd like if 192 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: you answer. My voice sounds kind of like rough, sounds 193 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: like I gargled with cement in the morning. So I'm 194 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 3: saying that because it's going to sound like I'm angry, 195 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: but I'm not. Sometimes when I get done preaching, somebody 196 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: will call and I'll say hello, I'll go, hey, what's everything. 197 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: Okay, It's like, no, that's just my voice. 198 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: So I said that because I don't want this to 199 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: sound like I'm like barking orders. 200 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 2: But I want you to respond to the question. 201 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 3: I'm asking, what was the catalyst from what we read 202 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 3: in Second Samuel eight, Second Samuel six, What was the 203 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: catalyst that caused his household to become blessed? What was 204 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 3: the thing that was introduced to it? The Ark of 205 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 3: the Covenant? Now, I told I told three of the 206 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 3: four churches what I'm going to tell you right now. 207 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 3: I hope they never find the Ark of the Covenant. 208 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: From what I heard, it was kept in Ethiopia and 209 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: then they've moved it now and it's back in Israel. 210 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: I hope they don't find it because if they do, 211 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: I know Christian television, they're gonna have every Christian TV 212 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 3: station there with a remote satellite truck and they're gonna say, man, 213 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: we're standing next to this well number one, I'm not 214 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: gonna assume everybody knows what the Ark of the Covenant 215 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: was the ark of the Covenant was a wooden box 216 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: that carried the presence of God. And so if they 217 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: find it, everybody's gonna stand by it and say, we're 218 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: here right now, and. 219 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: We want you to know. I wish you could be here. 220 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 3: You could feel the presence of God so strong I 221 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: can barely stand on my feet. Meanwhile, I'm gonna ask 222 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 3: you a question. One hundred percent of you're gonna get 223 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: it right. Is the presence of God still in that box? No, 224 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 3: So I hope they don't find it, because they're gonna 225 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 3: be chipping pieces of it off and selling it for 226 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: your best gift if they ever find it. That's Christians. 227 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 3: You know, we're here at the whaling wall. Now, I'm 228 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 3: not I'm not only am I not against Jerusalem. I'm 229 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 3: for Jerusalem. Sent Israel an ambulance when they got attacked. 230 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: October seventh, twenty twenty three. Bible says, I'll bless those 231 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 3: that bless Israel, and I'll curse those that curse Israel. 232 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: In fact, you see a curse. 233 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 3: Kanye started talking nuts about Israel and the Jewish people, 234 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: and he went nuts in about thirty days. 235 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: So you bless Israel. 236 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: I'm not against it, but I'm gonna tell you right now, 237 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 3: I don't have to touch the whaling wall to have 238 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: access to the presence of God. I can have just 239 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 3: as much access to the presence of God with my 240 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: hand on the brick wall it sheets as I do 241 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 3: if I put my hand or at Bucky's for our 242 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 3: Texas Congregation. 243 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: As I do on the whaling wall. 244 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: Because my access to God is based on me standing 245 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 3: in Jerusalem or. 246 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: Being on the Mount of Olives. 247 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: If you get baptized in the Allegheny River, it carries 248 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 3: the same weight as if you get baptized in. 249 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: The River Jordan. 250 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 3: Because our relationship with God is not based on geography. 251 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: It's based on the blood of Jesus Christ. I said, 252 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: it's based on the blood of gi Jesus Christ. That 253 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: the Bible says opened up to us a better covenant. 254 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: They must say, better covenant build on better promises. Everybus 255 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 3: say better promises. So when you see what God did 256 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: for Abraham, what God did for Isaac, what God did 257 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: for Jacob, what God did for David, what God did 258 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: for Solomon, the Bible says, you now have a better 259 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: covenant than they had based on better promises. So saying 260 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: all that, how can you have an anti blessing mentality 261 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 3: as a church. 262 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 2: I'm not saying you. 263 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: I'm saying, if you go to another church, say well, 264 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: we don't believe in that, we don't believe in the blessing. 265 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 3: I know I've looked at your building. You can tell 266 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 3: you don't believe in the blessing. And you think I'm 267 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 3: making a joke. Some of you come from churches. The 268 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 3: roof was always caven in, always a special offering, the 269 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: boilers out, the air conditioners out. As many of you 270 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 3: can see, there's water damage on the ceiling. We need 271 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: money race for that. What you don't believe, you never receive. 272 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: You receive your covenant based on believing it out of 273 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: the word of God. So if people want to make 274 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 3: it a controversial thing that you believe in the blessing, 275 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 3: make it controversial. I don't see any way that you 276 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 3: can read the Bible with any understanding and see that 277 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: the Bible says when God's presence dwelled in that guy's house, 278 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: things didn't get worse. The Bible doesn't say that, Oh, 279 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 3: bed Edith went and knocked on David's door and said, 280 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: please take this thing back. My wife's dead, my children 281 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: are dead, my crops have dried up, my animals have 282 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: all died. I can't take this thing anymore. Nor did 283 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: it remain neutral. It didn't stay there. And they said, 284 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: how's it going. It's okay, We got this box here 285 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: where my couch used to be. 286 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: It's taking a pull lot of room. 287 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: No. 288 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: The Bible says that in ninety days, three months. In 289 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: three months, everything so blossomed in that home that word 290 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: reached the king. This guy's home is extremely blessed, his 291 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: family is blessed, his business is blessed. The Bible says, 292 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 3: everything that pertains to him is blessed. Well, if the 293 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 3: presence of God in that box could cause everything to 294 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 3: open up like that, how much more under this new covenant. 295 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: You say, we don't have the ark of the covenant. 296 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: Though that's right, it was never the will of God. 297 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: The Bible says, to dwell in temples made by human hands. 298 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: Know ye not. 299 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: You are the temple of the Holy Ghost. What was 300 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 3: in that box is in you. And so you're not 301 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 3: waiting for some to get delivered to your house. That's 302 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: why this church we don't pass out trinkets or bracelets, 303 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: or if you give hold this, keep this wrapped around 304 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,359 Speaker 3: your rear view mirror and it'll bring a blessing. We're 305 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 3: not wearing garlic to ward off draculas and silver bullets. 306 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: It's not an outside thing. 307 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 3: People want something to clutch, people want something to wear. 308 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: But the blessings not on your clothes. The blessing's not 309 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: on your jewelry. The blessings on the inside of you, 310 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 3: because you're filled with the same power that filled the 311 00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: ark of the Covenant. 312 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 4: I'm Joel Pulowski. I had lung cancer. So last night 313 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 4: Pastor Jonathan came. He's been coming all week. This has 314 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 4: just been a very powerful week, but last night was different. 315 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 4: I was diagnosed last September. Been dealing with that chemo 316 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 4: and all the stuff that goes along with it. I 317 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: came Monday and I didn't want to come. I came 318 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 4: Tuesday and I wanted to be here even less. I 319 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 4: came last night and I really did not want to 320 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 4: be here. I came here to make my wife happy. 321 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 4: That's really the only reason why I came. I was 322 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 4: upset and tired and hurt, tired of dealing with this 323 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 4: as Jonathan was talking faith last night. I got up 324 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 4: and I had I don't have the machine with me. 325 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 4: I haven't used it since I got up and I 326 00:16:42,240 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 4: walked up front. So yesterday, before I came here, I 327 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 4: was on four liters of air or oxygen a minute. 328 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 4: I'm on nothing right now, as you can see and talking, 329 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 4: lung cancer is gone. My lungs are stretching and growing 330 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 4: and changing, and I can feel it happening right now. 331 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 4: I'm stronger than I was two hours ago. And I'm 332 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 4: stronger than I was yesterday, and I'm going to be 333 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 4: stronger tomorrow, and I'm going to continue to get stronger 334 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 4: until i am as strong as I've ever been. I 335 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 4: have not been able to talk like this in a 336 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 4: very very long time. I'm and I'm talking months, okay. 337 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 4: I run out of air. I couldn't stand.

I mean, walking from one end of 340 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 4: my house to another was exhausting.

The Bible is saying obed Edom said, 375 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 3: take that box if you want to, If you want 376 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 3: it to be in this house, you're gonna have to 377 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 3: fight me for it. He decided to open the door 378 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: and let the ark of the Covenant in. And that's 379 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 3: what I'm That's what today is gonna be.

There is a curse for sin, but 395 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 3: there is a blessing for serving God. When you let 396 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 3: God's presence in your life, things don't go backwards, things 397 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: go forward. 398 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 2: I mean, I even think of this. We had this 399 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: church and we. 400 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 3: Had two hundred and eighty people that attended on Sunday, 401 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: and now we have two services, eight and ten. I'm 402 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: considering three, but I don't want my staff to die. 403 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 3: We're looking at we're looking at other buildings even right 404 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 3: now now that we can quickly get ready and have 405 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 3: everybody together at once, which oh, as we saw at Easter, 406 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 3: we'll quickly push it to I mean, we're at a 407 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 3: thousand plus with no children's ministry, no parking shuttles, and 408 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 3: so as soon as we get a building with the parking. 409 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 3: What's're working on right now. This thing's going to go 410 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: to fifteen hundred. That's in three years. Let alone the 411 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: fact that there's people watching right now, a room full 412 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: of people in Texas, and then yesterday Arizona, and then 413 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 3: Los Angeles at Angelus Temple. 414 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: Things multiply with God. 415 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 3: When you let God get get on the inside of 416 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 3: what you're doing, it does not stay still, It does 417 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 3: not stagnate. 418 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: It goes from. 419 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 3: Glory to glory, victory to victory, and strength to strength. 420 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: God not only commanded multiplication. 421 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 3: God facilitates the multiplication if you keep His presence. So 422 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 3: I'm not preaching this as something like, you know, a 423 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 3: new door. You know, I got to come up with 424 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 3: fifty two Sunday's worth of sermon, so check you. But 425 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 3: do you give me two words new and door? Okay, 426 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 3: I'll preach on that. No, these seven months, as we 427 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: cross into the June first, this ain't Pride month. This 428 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: is New Door month. God's going to open a new 429 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: door for his people in Jesus' name. Well, there's an 430 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 3: old preacher that's in heaven now. He said, anything that 431 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 3: you preach to people, God will let you taste of 432 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 3: it first, so we declare a new door. 433 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: And then I. 434 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: Get a call that I thought was a prank call 435 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 3: that I'm going to be preaching at the Fort Worth 436 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 3: Convention Center with about three to four thousand people in attendance. 437 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 3: Pop it up on the screen, keep it up there, 438 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: and if you were going to do the Sesame Streets song, 439 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: one of these things is not like the other. 440 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: One of these things just doesn't belong. 441 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 3: I don't belong in that lineup, and by that I 442 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 3: mean I'm the youngest. They don't have any new speakers 443 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 3: at that conference. But God worked out a series of 444 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 3: events that's called a new door. And then to go 445 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: to convent preaching a convention center that's a new level. 446 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 3: Say new level. Say new doors bring new levels. Then 447 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 3: literally two days after that, I wake up this last 448 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 3: Friday with this letter from Nigeria UH invitation to speak 449 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: at the School of Ministry.

We are expecting between 464 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 3: seven thousand and ten thousand pastors. 465 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 2: Everybody say a new door. 466 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 3: We believe your wealth of experience, that's what I've been 467 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 3: pastoring three and a half years. We believe your wealth 468 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 3: of three and a half years of experience and unique 469 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 3: insight in church growth and development will greatly inspire and 470 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 3: enrich our participants.

That 473 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 3: all came in in seventy two hours and so now 474 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 3: I want to ask you a question. 475 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 2: Does God like me better than he likes you? I mean, 476 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: I kind of think so, but. 477 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 3: You can't prove it from scripture, and the Bible actually 478 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: says the opposite. Put Acts ten thirty four up x 479 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 3: ten thirty four. King James, I see clearly that God 480 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: has no resis respector of persons. Everybody say God's no 481 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 3: respector of persons verse thirty five. But in every nation 482 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: he accepts those who fear him and do what is right. 483 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 3: But in every nation he accepts those that fear him 484 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 3: and do what is right. In the NLT it says 485 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 3: it like that, a little easier to read than there, 486 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 3: And he's no respector of persons. In every nation he 487 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 3: receives people that fear him and do what is right. 488 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 3: What God does for one, he'll do for anybody. So 489 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 3: God's not up in heaven and saying, listen, Jonathan, don't 490 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 3: preach this to everybody, because there's only about nine people 491 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 3: in that crowd that I haven't open door for. 492 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: Even in Deuteronomy twenty. 493 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 3: Eight, that's read to everybody, that's printed in the Bible 494 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: for anybody that wants to read it and believe it. 495 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: God is no respector of persons, But in every nation 496 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: he gives to those who who fear Him, who fear 497 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 3: his word.
