- 1:11- Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We worship you.
- 1:15We honor you, our God. And Lord, we are so grateful
- 1:20today. Yeshua, for the sacrifice that you gave.
- 1:25And with that, we love you and we honor you, we serve you.
- 1:29- Worship you, Lord. - And God, today, I pray that we
- 1:34would touch your heart in such a way that would cause your
- 1:38presence to be so among us that we will know that God Himself is
- 1:44here to bless the people. And we love you and all the
- 1:47people that love God said, - "Yes, yes."
- 1:50- Man, okay. So you want to know how you did? You guys did great.
- 1:57These two sections, I didn't even hear you. No, honestly,
- 2:02I didn't even hear you. - Must be the room.
- 2:04- Must be the room. So I'm going to try it again. All the people
- 2:06that love God said, - "Amen.."
- 2:09- Wow, okay. - Now I heard it, but I didn't
- 2:11hear it over there. And all the people that love God said,
- 2:14- "Amen." - I heard a little bit.
- 2:18All right, no, you guys are good. How's everybody doing?
- 2:21Are you ready for the nice change of weather? Notice
- 2:25the leaves are turning colors. Isn't that
- 2:27incredible? The leaves are turning colors now and it's
- 2:30fall. Brenda, it's fall. - I know, I know. I like it. I
- 2:34do like four seasons. I was talking with Tracy in the
- 2:38back and she's about their trips to the beach and all
- 2:41these things and she said, but I do like four seasons.
- 2:45- Well, how many of you are already starting to gather
- 2:47the leaves that are falling? - No, not enough yet.
- 2:50- then you got time to get a book. So I got this new book
- 2:54on how to collect leaves by a great, great author, Ray King.
- 3:02He's a great guy there. So you can go ahead and get.
- 3:08Oh, stop, stop. I haven't even got going yet. Brenda, you.
- 3:12- That was bad. - Never mind, sorry.
- 3:16- Okay, that was pretty brilliant. I have to give you
- 3:19credit. - Okay, well, we think about
- 3:21that stuff up here, Brenda.
- 3:22- Ray King, I'll never forget it.
- 3:24- I want to do this. I want to greet those of you that are
- 3:27watching. You can get that book too, but we're so honored that
- 3:30you're joining us today. I can't stop laughing. We're so
- 3:34honored that you're joining us today. Put in the
- 3:36comments, not the joke, but where you're watching from.
- 3:41I like to always know kind of the cities, or maybe if
- 3:44you're from a different nation, that is always
- 3:45really awesome. Many of you Canadian people, we
- 3:49love to hear from you, even South Africa. And
- 3:53so we're glad you're here today. We also have
- 3:56a very special guest, John Amachuka is here. I
- 4:00hope I pronounced his name right. He'll be stepping in in
- 4:02just a moment. He's been really tearing it up with the schools.
- 4:07- Yes. He's helped us as a church to be engaged in so many
- 4:12things that are so important that are happening in our nation
- 4:14right now where the church has kind of been AWOL. And
- 4:17don't you love seeing that the church is
- 4:19taking its place in the culture, the
- 4:22public square. It's amazing. - It's amazing. Well, yesterday
- 4:25I had fun. How many of you, you had fun yesterday? I did.
- 4:29All right, eight people had fun. OK. A few over here.
- 4:34- It was a fun Saturday. - So Matthew and I,
- 4:36we went to the Nebraska game. So can they show a
- 4:39pic? Look at this. We went to Nebraska. We had fun.
- 4:43Look at that. And so this next one, we get this. We
- 4:48met Tom Osborne. Man, he was stone cold. He didn't even
- 4:52say a word. But we were able to at least meet him there.
- 4:56But we had a great time. And I'll tell you what, man,
- 4:58there was a couple times I was going to go down and
- 5:00help coach. And one time I was going to see if I could
- 5:03suit up, you know, because the game was kind of going a
- 5:06different direction. Not that I could come up with a plan.
- 5:08- Hey, we won though. That mattered. It mattered.
- 5:11- I did hear some big changes though are coming to football
- 5:16as far as their pants. Have you guys heard about that?
- 5:22You know, they wear the tights.
- 5:24They're gonna start changing from wearing tights to like
- 5:29jeans because too many players are getting
- 5:32titanitis. And so they're gonna change that. That's
- 5:36kind of an interesting thing, so.
- 5:38- Oh boy, it's gonna be a fun day.
- 5:41- Is it over too? Tyrone, I see you laughing. Your
- 5:44stomach is moving. I see it, it's going like this. All
- 5:47right, well let's worship God. Okay, right. Doug, Keeler, I
- 5:52saw you laughing too. It was, it was, yep, it was moving. I
- 5:55saw it. I saw it. You laugh, that's hunger and pains, but
- 5:58I saw it. I could see it. - All right, well good. All
- 6:02right, well you, are you excited to be in God's house today?
- 6:10I like to say it this way, there's no place
- 6:13I'd rather be on a Sunday morning than with the
- 6:15family of God, the people of God. So how many of you are
- 6:18ready to give God your very best praise today? Not a
- 6:23spectator, a participator. All right, well throw those
- 6:27hands up to heaven and say, say, Lord, it's going to be
- 6:31a great day. The Holy Ghost is going to move in this
- 6:36house, touch my life, speak to me, and whatever you ask
- 6:41me to do, I'll be obedient to it. And Lord, I promise
- 6:46to give you my very best praise. Come on, shout like
- 6:53you're excited and let's praise the lord.
- 7:02- Come on, church. Let's give Him some praise this morning.

- 31:10- Come on, just prophesy on the instruments. Lord, we
- 31:12worship you, we honor you. And we declare that you are
- 31:17the Holy God, the fairest of them all, the most
- 31:24beautiful, honorable, righteous. You are the
- 31:31magnificent one. You are exalted above all other
- 31:39things, both invisible and visible. You are exceedingly
- 31:46above, for you are the greatest. You are the most
- 31:52high, and there is no one that can match the honor of
- 32:00your majesty, of you, the king of glory, the king of
- 32:07nations, our king, our God, our Lord, Elohim, God,
- 32:15Yahweh, Adonai, the Eternal One, the Living God. You
- 32:22are, you are, you are, you are, you are, you are God.
- 32:30And you are exalted on high. And we forever come to honor
- 32:38the greatness of you, God, and of your blood sacrifice,
- 32:44Yeshua. Your own blood, not the blood of bulls or goats
- 32:52or calves, but your own blood you sacrifice. And you
- 32:59carry me into that holy place. And you put that
- 33:06blood upon the royal mercy seat. And now we have grace
- 33:13and mercy in hell. Oh how we honor you God. Thou art
- 33:20holy. Thou art holy. [speaking in tongues] The
- 33:48words cannot describe the honor of the mention of your
- 33:55name, Yeshua. [speaking in tongues] Oh my, holy, holy,
- 34:10[speaking in tongues] We worship you. Holy is thy
- 34:15name. Holy is thy name. We worship you. We worship you.
- 34:25We worship you. We worship you. Oh God, we fear thy
- 34:31name. We fear you. The beautiful one, the exalted
- 34:41God and King, whom we fear with reverence and honor
- 34:49unto you. Oh, there's no one that was found worthy to
- 35:02open the books or the seals thereof, but the one is like
- 35:11a burning fire, a brazing fire. God, even the sun is
- 35:23considered dim compared to the brightness of your
- 35:30rising. We worship you. Come on, all over the world,
- 35:37worship God. We love you. We honor you. We worship you.
- 35:49Oh, how we worship you. And we surrender to you, God.
- 35:57Our hearts, our will, our lives for your honor. For
- 36:06your honor. How many of you honor God? How many of you
- 36:11honor God? Thank you, Lord. We worship you. We worship
- 36:22you. We worship you. We worship you. Pastor Brenda,
- 36:33I want you to come for a moment, please. And the
- 36:36reason I do is I want you to proclaim. I wanna pray for
- 36:41people today. We were discussing this. She's
- 36:43writing a tremendous book, by the way, on commanding
- 36:47peace. And I was reading today, this morning, where
- 36:54Jesus went to the disciples and those of you that are
- 36:56watching, where he had risen from the dead, and they kept
- 37:01forgetting what Jesus said. Then finally, there's like
- 37:06one verse, it says, "And they remembered his words."
- 37:11And I got to thinking to myself, I wonder why is it,
- 37:15Hank, that sometimes in this guy's life right here, that
- 37:19you get troubled, you get concerned, you start letting
- 37:25your mind wander, you try to figure out how things are
- 37:29going to work out and should work out and why they're not
- 37:31working out. It's because we forget God's Word. We don't
- 37:39remember what he said in his word to fear not, let not
- 37:42your heart be troubled, let it not be afraid, right? Or
- 37:45we forget what God has said to us prophetically, how the
- 37:49promises have been revealed to us. Well, then they went
- 37:54back to the 11 and they said, "Hey, Jesus is alive."
- 38:01And then Jesus walks in and the first thing he
- 38:05announces, for those of you that are watching today as
- 38:07well, he goes, peace be unto you. Because peace isn't a
- 38:11feeling, peace is God, Prince of Peace, right? And
- 38:16you know what the disciples, Jesus looks at them and he
- 38:17says, why are you troubled? And then he said this, this
- 38:21really hit me, he said, and why are you letting your
- 38:24heart, so your mind be filled with all these
- 38:26thoughts? See what happens when you start getting your
- 38:31peace stolen, you start getting troubled, all of a
- 38:34sudden your mind gets attacked and it steals your
- 38:38peace. So I want to pray for anybody today, whether
- 38:41you're in this room or you are watching online, where
- 38:45you just feel like there is something that is attacking
- 38:48your peace, your life. Maybe you're battling with a
- 38:52symptom in your body and you're like, man, I just
- 38:53can't come to peace. I'm just frustrated. I feel like
- 38:56I've been believing and I'm not seeing anything. Maybe
- 38:59it's a financial situation. Maybe it's a relationship
- 39:02issue. Maybe it's a marriage that you're wanting to see
- 39:07peace come to it. Or maybe it's just you wanna come to
- 39:09peace, say, "Hey, you know, I can find somebody. "I
- 39:12don't have to be by myself." And you're troubled, and
- 39:16then thoughts hit you. Well, you're not pretty, you're
- 39:17not handsome, you're not this, you're not that. Am I
- 39:21the only one that ever has that happen? Where you
- 39:23disqualify yourself by your own mind and thoughts? Why
- 39:27you can't do something, why you're not good enough, why
- 39:30you're not qualified. Listen, I lived in that
- 39:32world for a long time. When it came to this this church,
- 39:35I kept saying, "God, how come? How come I have to
- 39:38have the ugliest building in all of Omaha?" You all
- 39:43remember that ugly building? And God said to me, but I
- 39:46forgot his word. He said to me, he said, "Buy the
- 39:50building." I said, "I don't want this ugly building." He
- 39:53said, "I want you to buy it." He told me three times
- 39:55and finally I said, "Yes." And then I said, "I don't
- 39:57know if you're supposed to do this." I said, "I'll make
- 39:58a deal. "If you do two things, you pay for it "and
- 40:02make it look better." He said, "It will be known as
- 40:05LOH the beautiful." And God has kept to his word. So
- 40:09here I was disqualifying something that God was
- 40:12saying. So, all right, so Mama, I'm gonna turn over to
- 40:14you 'cause I feel like we really need to pray for some
- 40:17people, but I feel like you're carrying this anointing in what
- 40:19you're writing, but in the revelation of it.
- 40:22- Well, you didn't know this because in the manuscript
- 40:26right now, right from the beginning chapter, I talk
- 40:30about how Jesus walked in. And one of the things in
- 40:35there, and this is so important, I know this is
- 40:37for somebody who maybe you're feeling like, well,
- 40:40God, you know, I'm not experiencing peace 'cause I
- 40:43messed up or I didn't have enough faith or something
- 40:47happened. And Jesus, when he came into the room, where
- 40:51the disciples, you know, keep in mind, they were
- 40:53huddled up in hiding because, you know, Jesus was
- 40:56arrested and they thought maybe they were gonna get
- 40:58rounded up by the Jews for being insurrectionists. And
- 41:00so here they were locked away in fear. And Jesus,
- 41:06when he came in, and this just hit me so hard, he
- 41:08never once addressed their fears or their issues. First
- 41:15thing out of his mouth was, "Peace be unto you." And
- 41:20then Thomas comes in a little bit after that. And
- 41:23Thomas, who the Bible even said had more doubt and more
- 41:27fear, the very first words to Thomas were, "Peace be
- 41:30unto you." So that's the word of the Lord today for
- 41:33you. Jesus is prophesying peace to your life.
- 41:36- You know what, you just taught me something. So
- 41:38here's the thing, we're not gonna focus on what isn't right.
- 41:42- That's right. - What needs to be fixed.
- 41:44We're gonna focus on receiving peace. That is powerful.
- 41:48- Yes, so right now I just prophesied peace. I want you
- 41:51to receive it. Those of you in this room and all of
- 41:54those watching around the world, we prophesy peace to
- 41:57your life. We break the power of anxiety and fear
- 42:01and stress and trauma and anguish. We break the power
- 42:05of all PTSD. We take authority over all
- 42:09post-trauma stress disorder. We bind the powers of every
- 42:13mental disorder, all mental oppression. We take
- 42:16authority in the name of Jesus of Nazareth over
- 42:20everything that would assail you. We pray that your faith
- 42:23will not fail. We break the power of that evil spirit
- 42:27that would try to come against your mind, come
- 42:30against your thoughts. Get out of God's people in the
- 42:34authority of Jesus' name. And now I prophesy over your
- 42:38life peace. I prophesy tranquility. I prophesy a
- 42:42calming effect. I prophesy that the peace of the Lord
- 42:46envelops you and it surpasses all understanding,
- 42:51all thoughts, all things that you were trying to
- 42:54bring up in your mind to try to fix this or fix that. No,
- 42:58the peace of the Lord surpasses all of it and it
- 43:01comes upon you right now in Jesus' name. Now say this
- 43:06word, say, I receive divine peace. I say grace and peace
- 43:12are being multiplied in my life. Peace be still to
- 43:18every storm. Say it again, say peace be still to every
- 43:24storm. And I am now at peace in Jesus' name.
- 43:29- Lord, in that declaration. - Yes, amen, amen.
- 43:31- The declaration of peace. - Yes, Lord.
- 43:33- Peace is also nothing missing.
- 43:35And nothing broken. So everything that's been paid
- 43:38for, Yeshua, in our covenant of peace, we declare as being
- 43:42provided, ministered, not only by the power of your might and
- 43:46your spirit, but of the hosts who are ministering servants,
- 43:50sent for those that are heirs of salvation.
- 43:53- Thank you, Jesus.
- 43:54- Now let those things be released in accordance to our
- 43:56covenant, in Jesus' name. - In Jesus' name.
- 44:00- Amen. - Amen.
- 44:01- So I gotta tell you, this is really powerful. So I
- 44:03went over there, and John Amachukwa was over there,
- 44:06and he had his laptop pulled up. Guess what his sermon is
- 44:11about. And the first thing he showed me was, he's gonna
- 44:16open up with Jesus walking in the room and declaring
- 44:20peace. So God, 'cause I'm carrying a prophetic word, I
- 44:25guess I'll just have to deliver it. I don't feel to
- 44:27give it now, but I was feeling it as I was walking
- 44:30out. I was hearing something. It ain't the
- 44:32time, evidently. And yet I felt this is what God
- 44:36wanted, so that's what we do. But anyway, well, are
- 44:39you excited that you're here in the house of the Lord?
- 44:41All right, so Pastor Brenda, I don't know if you knew
- 44:44this or not, but we are 60 days away from Christmas. So
- 44:49I'm gonna start sending you, you know, stuff.
- 44:52- Sing, please don't sing.
- 44:53- I won't sing. So here's what I want you to do. I
- 44:54want you to greet one another, and then I wanna
- 44:56see, and you online, if you can recite the 12 days of
- 45:02Christmas. Might take you a little bit. All I remember
- 45:05is the partridge in the pear tree.
- 45:07- Do it after church, they'll miss Pastor John's message.
- 45:09- All right, do it after church. See if you can remember one
- 45:12thing of the days of 12 days. Anyway, greet one another in
- 45:15the name of the Lord. - Love on each other in God's
- 45:16house. Amen.
- 45:18(gentle music)

- 48:45Just a couple things, just wanna remind everybody, this
- 48:48Wednesday, our Rescuing a Generation Online Only
- 48:52event, we're going to be here praying and prophesying
- 48:56over prayer requests for your children, your family,
- 48:59the next generation, and so go to hankandbrenda.org, get
- 49:03those prayer requests in. We're gonna have them here in the
- 49:05tabernacle and Pastor and I are gonna literally,
- 49:08the reason we're doing it online only is because we're
- 49:12gonna move about the building a lot, and we have
- 49:16a call station set up, and we should've had a picture
- 49:19of that, Bob. I didn't even think about that. But we
- 49:23have people that are gonna be in the building taking calls
- 49:26from everybody all around the world, and we're gonna
- 49:31be praying for your kiddos. We're gonna pray for your
- 49:33family. What's that? And we are also gonna
- 49:37get on the phones and answer a few calls with the help of all
- 49:42of our operators. But that night, we are giving away
- 49:46completely free, you don't have to sow for this, this is just
- 49:49free, the Rescuing a Generation Prayer Guide, how to pray and
- 49:54preserve your children from evil. And Pastor and I put
- 49:58this together a few years ago and we want to make it
- 50:00available to all of you so that you can pray for your
- 50:03kids and protect them. There's just evil at every
- 50:07corner in the culture currently. And so that's
- 50:10what we're here to pray about. And then that night,
- 50:12we're gonna be talking about the children's material. How
- 50:15many of you were here last week when I just talked
- 50:17about how we have this new opportunity with the use of
- 50:20AI? You know, we hear so much evil about AI right
- 50:23now, but you know, never see technology as fully evil if
- 50:27you can take and use it for good. And so what we found
- 50:31out is that to get all of Pastor Hank's animation onto
- 50:37some of these groups like, you know, we have some
- 50:40bigger ones looking, but places like Pureflex and
- 50:43different ones of these outlets and these companies
- 50:47that put out all this entertainment material, we
- 50:50can't just have like one video, we need four, five,
- 50:53even six would be better. And so we have three that
- 50:57are ready to go. But the cost factor comes in when it
- 51:01comes to the actual animation side. And I found
- 51:04out there's so much involved in that, like 32 frames or
- 51:09pictures or something in every one second of
- 51:12animation. It's an incredible number. And so,
- 51:15but now with the use of AI, and Pastor's gonna show you
- 51:17in a little bit kind of how that looks. And we need to
- 51:21tweak a few things with it, but it's coming together in
- 51:23an amazing way. And so I think you're gonna be very,
- 51:26very blessed. We're gonna talk about it that night.
- 51:28But we also have a whole bunch of kids bundles we've
- 51:31put together that we're gonna talk about that night.
- 51:33And as you help support the project, we'll send those
- 51:36out. And it's just in time for Christmas. So you'll be
- 51:39able to give them out to your kids and grandkids. And
- 51:42in fact, Pastor John said that his son is eight, and
- 51:46he's like a budding cartoonist. So he and Pastor
- 51:48Hank need to meet pretty quick. And wouldn't that be
- 51:51awesome? And just see what he is putting out. So we're
- 51:55super excited just to see. It is just time to take
- 51:59children's entertainment out of the hands of the evil
- 52:03one. (congregation applauding) And the thing
- 52:06about Pastor Hank's stuff, and by the way, just so you
- 52:09know, he won't tell you this part, maybe he will, but he
- 52:12like painstakingly watches over every word, every
- 52:17concept, every picture, so nothing is ever
- 52:20misconstrued. Nobody uses it in the wrong way. And
- 52:24Rachel, you know this, he'll be like, well, how should
- 52:27that sound? Any little phrase, everything he uses,
- 52:32but it's funny, it's not just retold Bible stories,
- 52:34it's humor. How many of you have read the Zepto comics?
- 52:36Many of you in here, and there's more to come. And
- 52:40it's just, I mean, he really takes his time on that. So
- 52:46be calling in that night, those of you, we're gonna
- 52:48have a phone number available, seven o'clock
- 52:50central. Do they have a copy of the, I think they have a
- 52:52picture of the call center that's set up, I just got a
- 52:55note from the back. Do you have that, do you have a
- 52:57little video? There we go. That's in the chapel. So we
- 53:02have a whole group of people that are gonna be taking
- 53:05calls that night and praying with you on the phone. And
- 53:09then I believe it's out in the foyer. We're gonna set
- 53:12the whole foyer up as a prayer center where people
- 53:15will be praying. Pastor Hank and I will be running over
- 53:18there. We'll be talking. We're gonna have the worship
- 53:20team do some worship that night. And so this is why
- 53:22it's kind of just this crazy mix around. We're turning
- 53:25this into one big TV studio. And then you're gonna have
- 53:29an opportunity to help us get these three things into
- 53:32animation. And we're gonna send you a bunch of stuff
- 53:34out, but this is completely free. So seven o'clock
- 53:37central, Wednesday night, the 29th, right in advance
- 53:40of what the devil has tried to make the most evil day of
- 53:43the year. Folks, let's use this moment, amen? All
- 53:48right, enough said about that. I'll let pastor do the
- 53:49rest. And then very quickly, Omaha Victory Campaign is
- 53:53coming up November 6th through the 9th. And so be
- 53:56here. I know many of you are already registered, but
- 53:59there's information there. You can go to
- 54:00lohchurch.org/events and be involved. Let's be here that
- 54:06weekend. Just learn the word from one of the most
- 54:09long-lasting, incredible generals of the faith,
- 54:12Brother Kenneth Copeland, who was the one who was
- 54:16responsible for allowing Flashpoint to be birthed and
- 54:20launched. And so we want to show him honor. How many of
- 54:24you will honestly say Flashpoint carried you after
- 54:282020? I am so thankful to all of the Flashpoint team.
- 54:33And I can say this, and you guys have heard me say it
- 54:35before, throughout all of the 2020 election nonsense
- 54:39and all the Trump haters and everybody that was just, and
- 54:42the news media that just absolutely twisted
- 54:45everything and lied through their teeth about
- 54:49everything. Pastor Hank never once, never once did
- 54:54he falter. He said, "I know what God told me about
- 54:56Trump, that he will be in office and he is going to be
- 55:00back." And never once did I ever see him falter. And I
- 55:04don't know if he ever had any thoughts in the middle
- 55:07of the night. At least he never told me about it. He
- 55:09never uttered one word negative out of his mouth.
- 55:12And so I was so thankful for that. Thank you, Pastor
- 55:15Hank, for being steadfast in that time. And then that
- 55:19Sunday on the 9th, Bishop Keith Butler will be here, a
- 55:22longtime friend. John Shuttlesworth will be at the
- 55:24event as well. So be a part of that. And then just last
- 55:27but not least, guys, I know I'm moving right past
- 55:30Christmas, New Year's Eve at Lord of Hosts Church is
- 55:33right around the corner. And I'm telling you, if you've
- 55:37never been to a Holy Ghost party until you've been to
- 55:40New Year's Eve at LOH. So you need to be here. And we
- 55:44don't usually go till midnight, but I don't know.
- 55:46We knocked on the door of it last year, I think. I don't
- 55:48remember, but man, it was so fun. It's just a breakout
- 55:51night. So be part of that. And Janet, we have hotel
- 55:54blocks. Is that true? Are they available yet? Not
- 55:56quite. So those are open. So you can go out to the church
- 55:59website, find information about that and be part of
- 56:03it. If you're coming in from out of town, we do have room
- 56:05rates. So be involved in that. Amen. All right, well,
- 56:08let's get quickly to the offering. They're gonna put
- 56:11up our scripture. We will receive a special offering
- 56:13for Pastor John. I wanna give you an opportunity to
- 56:16sow into his ministry at the end of the service. But
- 56:19here, let's go back to what we did. How many of you were
- 56:22here last week? What was our scripture last week? Mark
- 56:2511:22, this works for everything. Somebody say
- 56:28everything. Mark 11:22, Jesus said to them, this is
- 56:32the four words, say it with me, have faith in God.
- 56:40That's it, have faith in God. And you know that works
- 56:43for every circumstance. You ever think about what Jesus
- 56:46prayed for Peter? He said to Peter, you know, Peter, the
- 56:49devil has come to sift you like wheat. But I prayed for
- 56:52you that your faith, you can say it this way, your faith
- 56:57in God will not fail. Say it again. Say have faith in
- 57:04God. So when you're facing a financial situation, when
- 57:09you're facing a difficult challenge, you're going
- 57:12through something. Anybody ever been through something?
- 57:16You've been through a hard time when you don't know
- 57:19what to do? Have faith in God. I would encourage you
- 57:24to say that phrase every day. In fact, do it right now.
- 57:28Say your name. Say, Brenda, or say your name. I'll say Brenda.
- 57:35Brenda, have faith. Now say your name and say, "Have faith."
- 57:41- Have faith. - In God.
- 57:43- In God. - Now every time you're
- 57:45tempted to do something else, right? You're tempted
- 57:49to worry. You're tempted to be fearful. You're tempted
- 57:54to be frustrated or in anguish about something.
- 57:58Have faith in God. You know that'll work if you're going
- 58:01through something in your family. You're
- 58:03going through something in your business. Maybe
- 58:05it's taken a little turn downward. Have faith in
- 58:09God. You know, I have faith that I tithe. Pastor and I
- 58:14prayed that prayer the other day. We said, Lord, we're
- 58:16tithers. And I, you know, I went back to my accounting
- 58:19records and I just double checked it. I want to make
- 58:21sure I didn't miss a dollar. 'Cause I, you know, if you
- 58:25did it unintentionally, God understands that. But my
- 58:28point is, is I want to be on target with it because I
- 58:32know the promise connected to it. The promise connected
- 58:34to the tither is, A, God will rebuke the devourer.
- 58:37Man, if that's not just enough, my goodness. Had
- 58:41somebody, people tell me over the years, well, you
- 58:43know, tithing is Old Testament. I said, well, if
- 58:46it's Old Testament and I do it, do I still get the
- 58:48promise? God will rebuke the devourer for my sake. I
- 58:55mean, if you just get rid of the devil, the lock gets
- 58:58fixed. But then he said, he doesn't just stop there. He
- 59:06said, I'll open the windows of heaven and pour you out a
- 59:09blessing that you won't have room to receive it. Come on,
- 59:13how many of you could use some big old fat blessings
- 59:17straight from the throne room of God? It's like open
- 59:21the window and pfft. I'll take that. So I have faith
- 59:28in that. I have faith when God says something. But you
- 59:32know, God didn't just stop there. He said, have, Jesus
- 59:35said, have faith in God. Because if you will then say
- 59:40to this mountain, you have a mountain you're fighting.
- 59:45You know the thing about mountains, you can't see
- 59:46past them to the other side. That's what the devil, he
- 59:49likes to put up these roadblocks that make you
- 59:51think, you know, you'll never get through this one.
- 59:53I mean, yeah, you may have got through a few things
- 59:55before, but you ain't never going to get through this
- 59:59one. This is it. Mountain. Jesus said, don't worry, you
- 1:00:04don't have to stare at the mountain forever. For verily
- 1:00:07I say to you, if you shall say to this mountain, get up
- 1:00:11and get out of here, be removed, it'll have to obey
- 1:00:14you. And don't doubt it in your heart. I'll say, see
- 1:00:18Pastor Brenda, that's a problem. Sometimes I say,
- 1:00:20I'm not doubting in my heart. Have faith in God.
- 1:00:24When you doubt, say that phrase, I have faith in God.
- 1:00:28When that thought tries to hit you in the middle of the
- 1:00:30night, I have faith in God. When the enemy comes after
- 1:00:34you regarding your health, I have faith in God. And Jesus
- 1:00:38said, if you won't doubt and you'll have faith in God,
- 1:00:40you'll say to it, get up and get on out of here and
- 1:00:43you'll have whatever you say. (congregation applauding)
- 1:00:51Jesus didn't stop preaching, He said,
- 1:00:54"And whatsoever you ask, believe you receive it."
- 1:00:59Believe you receive it. Well, how do I do that,
- 1:01:01Pastor? Say it, say, "I have faith in God." Look at your
- 1:01:04neighbor, say, "Do you got any faith in God?" If they
- 1:01:09looked at you not sure, say, "Well, you better get with
- 1:01:11it." Time for some faith in God. "But I don't feel it."
- 1:01:16Nobody said you have to feel it. You don't have to feel
- 1:01:19it, you say it. "I have faith in God." All right,
- 1:01:27let's put the giving information up on the
- 1:01:28screen. God bless all of you that are giving from around
- 1:01:32the world. And as we come into the last two months of
- 1:01:35our giving, this is a good time to make sure your tithe
- 1:01:38is on point. It's a good time to make sure your
- 1:01:42building, in fact, people have asked, you know, where
- 1:01:44should I give through the end of this year, give into
- 1:01:46the building fund. We want to push that up a little
- 1:01:49bit. We're still working on that $400,000 goal. So let's
- 1:01:53get that wiped out today. Let's do that and take care
- 1:01:57of that. And let's, you know, what are we, almost in
- 1:02:00November now. Wow, where did 2025 go? So give into the
- 1:02:05building project and then your tithes should be the
- 1:02:07general fund. So all of those different ways to
- 1:02:10give. So there's the mobile app, text to give, website,
- 1:02:13envelope and a QR code. And let's just make this last
- 1:02:18little bit of our giving amazing. I wanna end 2025 on
- 1:02:24that high note in my own personal giving. You should
- 1:02:27have that same goal so we start 2026 correctly, amen? All right,
- 1:02:32when you have your giving ready, stand up on your feet as quickly
- 1:02:35as possible. Some of you might still be writing. If you've got
- 1:02:38your phone, your device, all of you online. We're gonna do our
- 1:02:42declaration together but Imma pray for you first. Because I
- 1:02:46have faith in God that when we pray right now, come on, right
- 1:02:50now, we're gonna get an answer. So hold that device out there,
- 1:02:55do it with an attitude, act like its a sword in the face of
- 1:03:00Satan. Yeah somebody over there is shaking theirs. I mean just
- 1:03:05shaking their phone. I don't know what that does to your
- 1:03:07phone, 911 might think its an emergency. You just tell them
- 1:03:12it is an emergency I'm destroying the devil, all is
- 1:03:15well. Heavenly father, I pray for these people under the
- 1:03:20sound of my voice and everybody that's on the internet and
- 1:03:23around the world and those watching by OVTV, we thank you
- 1:03:26Lord, for your anointing that is upon these tithes and these
- 1:03:30offerings. And father these are our prophetic acts that
- 1:03:36we have faith in God. We believe you. We say to every
- 1:03:40mountain, "Be removed and cast into the sea." We don't
- 1:03:44doubt that what we get, what we say is what we get. And
- 1:03:48Lord, we lift up our prayer requests before you. And we
- 1:03:51believe whatever things we desire when we pray, we
- 1:03:54believe we receive it in Jesus' name. Shout amen to
- 1:03:57add your agreement. All right, let's do our decree
- 1:04:00together. Say it with me. We declare the campus and
- 1:04:03ministry of Lord of Hosts Church shall be increased,
- 1:04:06expanded, and debt free. We decree it shall happen
- 1:04:11without delay. We say to every heavenly assignment,
- 1:04:14be built up and finish. We say that we have all the
- 1:04:18finances needed for the Lord is building this house. we
- 1:04:22have more than enough excess and overflow. Lord, you are
- 1:04:26providing seed to the sower. We call upon you, Lord of
- 1:04:30hosts, to bring forth heavenly assistance and
- 1:04:33raise up multitudes of people that shall give
- 1:04:36abundantly to this work. We prophesy that we shall
- 1:04:40quadruple, quadruple, and then we will quadruple
- 1:04:43again. We declare new things now. We decree ministry and
- 1:04:49campus be expanded now. Come on, shout like you believe
- 1:04:52it as the ushers begin to serve you.
- 1:04:58- All right, ushers, you can go ahead and ush the people
- 1:05:03and you can make a friendly smile 'cause God loves that
- 1:05:07you're a forgiver, right? And those of you online.
- 1:05:10Well, before I bring up our guest speaker, I'm very
- 1:05:14excited about the events of this week. And by the way, I
- 1:05:17was not able to be on Flashpoint last week, but I
- 1:05:19will be on tomorrow and Tuesday. So I get to kind of
- 1:05:24get back to my Monday slot tomorrow. So we'll have fun
- 1:05:27with that and then again on Tuesday. And just, you know,
- 1:05:31write Gene long letters and tell him to give me more
- 1:05:33than, what does he say, 20 seconds or whatever. So,
- 1:05:37well, hey, real quick, I don't want to take too much
- 1:05:40time away from our guest speaker because the reason
- 1:05:42we have guest speaker come in so that you hear from
- 1:05:45them, right? And, but I just felt like this would be
- 1:05:48fitting. Pastor Brenda had mentioned this Wednesday,
- 1:05:50we're going to be doing a recapturing a generation night,
- 1:05:54really just a few days before Halloween. And of course
- 1:05:58our guest, John Amachukwu. Am I pronouncing it right, Amachukwu?
- 1:06:03Oh man, thanks. He is so big, he'd get me in a
- 1:06:05headlock. So, but anyway. Right? (laughing) Anyway.
- 1:06:12But he has been fighting for the children. I have been
- 1:06:15fighting for the children. And we want to stand in a
- 1:06:19place of victory for your child. And so a lot of
- 1:06:23people don't realize something, you know, just a
- 1:06:25few days with Halloween, you know, they always like to do
- 1:06:27the Halloween alternatives. And I wanna say, well, you
- 1:06:31know, the Devil's crowd never does that with our
- 1:06:32resurrection services and things like that, right? And
- 1:06:36we gotta understand that they think we're fools,
- 1:06:41those that are involved in the occult, witchcraft, and
- 1:06:44sacrifice babies on Halloween night while your
- 1:06:48kids are trick or treating and playing, they ain't
- 1:06:51playing. They're trying to gain more power, more
- 1:06:54access, right? People don't realize that there is
- 1:06:59certain demons, obviously, that's connected to blood.
- 1:07:02It's why Jesus, after he shed his blood, the Holy
- 1:07:05Spirit came, 'cause there's a connection between blood
- 1:07:07and spirit. And so, you know, we as Christians are
- 1:07:12playing our evangelical games. The enemy are
- 1:07:15sacrificing humans, children, right? Ask our law
- 1:07:19enforcement. They get the connection between the
- 1:07:22occult and much of homicides and things that go on this
- 1:07:28week, and kids missing, and things like that. We gotta
- 1:07:31get serious. And so we're gonna pray, and we're gonna
- 1:07:34break the assignment of the enemy that is trying to come
- 1:07:37not only against this generation, but your
- 1:07:39children. The other thing is, it's no secret that we
- 1:07:43have been fighting for a generation of children with
- 1:07:46all the sexual exploitation of the mutilation of
- 1:07:49transgender children, you know, being without parental
- 1:07:53consent, that they can change, right, their
- 1:07:56supposed gender, and mutilate themselves, and the
- 1:07:59parents don't have a say, and we know that those in
- 1:08:03our loony liberal government were pushing for that, and
- 1:08:06then it's no secret, we're seeing liberalism and all
- 1:08:10kinds of humanism and indoctrination of our kids,
- 1:08:14even on the college level, right? Thank God for people
- 1:08:17like Charlie Kirk, who gave so much of his time to help
- 1:08:22to recapture a generation. So we're gonna take that
- 1:08:24night and we are really going to pray and we're
- 1:08:28gonna minister, we'll see what God says. But the other
- 1:08:31thing I felt instructed from the Lord, and this is me
- 1:08:34talking from my heart and that's this, we often say we
- 1:08:37wanna recapture a generation. But here's what
- 1:08:39we do, we do at Genesis 19, what Lot did. He was willing
- 1:08:44to shove his pure virgin daughters out to the
- 1:08:47perverted culture, send them out to school and have no
- 1:08:50idea what they're being taught or what they're
- 1:08:53reading in the libraries. We just shove our kids out
- 1:08:56there, out the door, right? Or we walk out the door and
- 1:09:00we shove our kids out in the living room and let them
- 1:09:02just have all access to YouTube or, you know,
- 1:09:06whatever, gaming, and we have no idea the perverted
- 1:09:09stuff that is coming back. Most parents would be
- 1:09:15horrified if they knew how much pornography their
- 1:09:17children probably watch, have been exposed to. And
- 1:09:22the parents have been clueless. And so there had
- 1:09:27to be angelic intervention that had to come down to
- 1:09:31literally pull Lot back inside and close the door
- 1:09:35from him, throwing the next generation out to the
- 1:09:39perverted evil of what was happening in the day. And so
- 1:09:42I wanna encourage you to help me, and here's why. On
- 1:09:46this night on Wednesday, I want them to put up a few of
- 1:09:48the children's series. It won't be long, I'm gonna
- 1:09:51make it very quick, but these are some of the things
- 1:09:53that we're offering. I hear people say all the time,
- 1:09:55well, we want alternatives for our children. Well, here
- 1:09:59it is, but then people won't buy that. They'll go and
- 1:10:01spend money on Disney to put more and more perversion in
- 1:10:05the cartoons, right? Hide it, but now they're not
- 1:10:09hiding it anymore. It used to be in the old cartoons,
- 1:10:11you could find the hidden things. Now they're being so
- 1:10:14blatant with it. It's nothing to see, you know,
- 1:10:17homosexuals parading as cartoon characters and
- 1:10:20transgenders. Now they've got Vampirina that's coming
- 1:10:23out, Disney, right? To do what? Teach your kids how to
- 1:10:27be vampires. Okay, show Captain Zepto. We've got,
- 1:10:31you know, these alternatives. This is great
- 1:10:34stuff. And now the Lord instructed me, said, "I want
- 1:10:36you to put in an animation." Because we're trying to
- 1:10:38recapture generation and these are not, listen, these
- 1:10:41have been tested on three markets. They've been tested
- 1:10:44among the Jews because the king is called Elion and I
- 1:10:49had the Jewish community of Omaha, I handed it to a few
- 1:10:52of the Jewish people, I didn't know and they all
- 1:10:55came back and said, "Oh, thank you for honoring the
- 1:10:57Jewish people." I said, "Oh, yes, my honor, my honor."
- 1:10:59I'm thinking, what in the world is this? And they
- 1:11:01said, "King Elion, Almighty God." I'm like, "Yeah, I
- 1:11:04knew that." So then, and I tested it out on some
- 1:11:07Christians. They're like, "Oh, these are such
- 1:11:09biblically themed, "but they're not over
- 1:11:12Christianese, but good morals." And then I thought,
- 1:11:15"All right, God, "that's the second test market. "I'm
- 1:11:17gonna try on the heathens up the street." So I gave these
- 1:11:21to the heathens up the street. They came back and
- 1:11:23said, "Oh, man, thank you so much "for keeping that stuff
- 1:11:27out of there." I said, "What stuff?" You know, that
- 1:11:30churchinese or whatever. He didn't say church, I think
- 1:11:33he said church beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
- 1:11:35but I can't say that beyond the pulpit, but
- 1:11:37anyway. I said, "Oh, yeah, yeah." He said, "Oh, these
- 1:11:40are so funny, these are so funny." So we're really
- 1:11:42trying to recapture a generation. Now here's the
- 1:11:44thing, it was gonna cost me $1.2 million to get three
- 1:11:48more out, but now it's only gonna cost me $300,000, and
- 1:11:50I believe by the time we are done, we are going to get
- 1:11:54all of that and more. So, with that, before I bring up
- 1:11:58our guests, how many of you ever watched Carol Burnett?
- 1:12:00Remember that? Misha Shuegans? Remember that?
- 1:12:05Well, the old ones. Well, anyway, there's a lady,
- 1:12:07Louise D'Art. You ever seen? She'd been on Carol Burnett
- 1:12:10a few times. She does the voice of Granny Z. Louise,
- 1:12:15you might be watching. She loves our ministry. We love
- 1:12:17you, Louise. Thank you for doing this. And I want to
- 1:12:20show you how incredible the animation is that we're
- 1:12:24doing. So can I show you a 30-second clip? And then are
- 1:12:27you going to help us to recapture a generation? Are
- 1:12:30you going to help us? We're going to knock out that
- 1:12:31300,000 like this. I'm going to get on the phone. We're
- 1:12:34going to talk to you. And I'm going to ask you to go
- 1:12:36to your granny and ask her for some help for Pastor
- 1:12:39Hank. OK, so without further ado, here is a 30-second
- 1:12:42clip, and then we're going to bring up our guest
- 1:12:44speaker. Here we go. - Darlings, I can reverse
- 1:12:47everything. - I think that would be best.
- 1:12:51- To do this properly, I'll need total privacy. When I get done,
- 1:12:56your captain won't have any hair problem at all. Trust me.
- 1:13:01- Well, she said she'd fix it. - guess we could work the
- 1:13:08room for a bit. - Fine. One lap and we're back,
- 1:13:11though. Kenneby, monitor this very spot.
- 1:13:15- Affirmative. - Now let's get to work.
- 1:13:23You don't need to worry. I'll fix you right up.
- 1:13:28- Coming in loud and clear. - Rocking you with another hour
- 1:13:33of... - dimwit!
- 1:13:35- Buckle up for the galactic quest of Captain Zepto.
- 1:13:40- Wait, how's my hair? - Well, buckle up for the next
- 1:13:48adventure of Captain Zepto. You know who the narrator is?
- 1:13:54(congregation applauding)
- 1:13:56So anyway, thank you for your help on that.
- 1:13:58And I'm really, really excited. We are gonna get
- 1:14:01that done. Did you like that? That's just a short
- 1:14:04clip. So we'll have a lot of fun with that. All right,
- 1:14:07well, it's my honor, and those of you that are
- 1:14:09watching, to introduce our guest speaker today. And I
- 1:14:13first heard about him, I think it was Gene Bailey.
- 1:14:15Gene, if you're watching, he had sent years ago a clip of
- 1:14:19this gentleman that was going into schools and
- 1:14:22standing down these demonic, and I say demonic, school
- 1:14:27board superintendents, mixed up people, man, and just
- 1:14:33presenting the books that they're allowing in the
- 1:14:35schools, and he was reading certain things, and they're
- 1:14:37saying, "Get these filthy things out of here," and I'm
- 1:14:40thinking, "Well, you're the one "that put 'em in there."
- 1:14:43And I started liking this guy, and then all of a
- 1:14:45sudden, I believe it was Gene sent me a video of John
- 1:14:50getting arrested at one of the schools, and I said, I
- 1:14:53really like this guy. And he got arrested, and these big
- 1:14:57cops, now John's huge, but these big cops came and they
- 1:15:02handcuffed him, and he just so, you know, John's just so
- 1:15:05gentle, he puts the handcuffs on, and I'm
- 1:15:07sitting there prophesying to him that song, break every
- 1:15:09chain, break every chain, He breaks every chain. I'm
- 1:15:13like, John, just break that chain. You know, I'm sure
- 1:15:17you could have. But anyway, I said, I like this guy. And
- 1:15:21I knew in my heart that we needed to have him come to
- 1:15:24Lord of Hosts Church. We've done a few Flashpoint events
- 1:15:26together. Of course, he's been a major voice for God
- 1:15:30in this nation, really around the world. And so it
- 1:15:32is our honor. I want you to stand to your feet and I
- 1:15:36want you that are watching, and I want you to put the
- 1:15:37hand clap mojos, or whatever they call it, and let's
- 1:15:40welcome John Amachukwu to Lord of Hosts Church,
- 1:15:44Stonewall, Nebraska, to tear it up, John! I love you,
- 1:15:48man. All right, God bless you. Thank you. Have fun.
- 1:15:51(audience applauding)
- 1:15:58- Now let's turn our adoration this morning
- 1:16:01towards the God of the Bible, and let's worship His
- 1:16:04Holy Name. I want you to clap your hands louder for
- 1:16:09Him than you did for me. I want you to celebrate Him
- 1:16:14more than you did for me. He is the reason why we exist.
- 1:16:20Come on, come on, come on. Open up your mouth and shout
- 1:16:27with a voice of triumph in this place. We need his
- 1:16:31presence the more. Come on, come on. Everybody,
- 1:16:40everybody ought to praise his name. He's worthy of the
- 1:16:46glory. He's worthy of the honor. He's worthy of the
- 1:16:56praise. Just about 30 more seconds. Come on, come on.
- 1:17:00We ravish your name, Jesus. We ravish your name, Jesus.
- 1:17:10You're the soon-coming king. Without you we can do
- 1:17:14nothing. And so we lift our hands in the sanctuary. And
- 1:17:24we thank you for being God. You are the Lord of Hosts.
- 1:17:41You are the God that sits between the cherubims. You
- 1:17:46are the God high and seated upon the throne. Your train
- 1:17:51fills the temple. Less of us, more of you. Lord, as we
- 1:18:02go into this time of preaching, let your spirit,
- 1:18:06[SPEAKING in tongues] strengthen me for the work.
- 1:18:18We rebuke the evil one. We destroy the cords of Satan.
- 1:18:28We bring down every high thought and imagination,
- 1:18:33every spirit of disturbance, every suppressing spirit,
- 1:18:42every mental attack. We destroy you right now. And
- 1:18:50we ask that the name of Jesus would get the glory
- 1:18:57and live big in this moment. If you believe that, clap
- 1:19:02your hands right now and give God some praise in this
- 1:19:05place. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I
- 1:19:15give honor to your pastor on this morning. Come on, help
- 1:19:18me celebrate this man of God. The one and only Pastor
- 1:19:22Hank Kunneman. Come on. He's a man that stands for truth,
- 1:19:29that stands for righteousness, and stands
- 1:19:31for holiness. And before you take your seat, let's
- 1:19:33celebrate his beautiful bride, Pastor Brenda. Come
- 1:19:36on, come on, come on. Let's honor her as well. We thank
- 1:19:39you so much. You may be seated in the presence of
- 1:19:42the Lord. You don't know how much you all have blessed me
- 1:19:45thus far this morning. While Pastor Brenda was up, she
- 1:19:50was all in my message. And I'm sitting back there now,
- 1:19:54Lord, I'm glad I was obedient to you as I
- 1:19:57wrestled with what you would give me to preach. This is a
- 1:20:01sermon that the Lord has used me to minister before.
- 1:20:04I first preached it about maybe four or five years
- 1:20:06ago, and the Lord gave it to me to bring it forth before
- 1:20:11you all today. And while she's up there talking about
- 1:20:13peace being to you, I'm like, shabbat. Yes, Lord.
- 1:20:18Lord, you are speaking and you are talking, and I feel
- 1:20:22good because you only want to get it right. You know,
- 1:20:25it's not my message, it's his. And so we honor the
- 1:20:30Lord for that. We thank God for your leadership here at
- 1:20:33this church. It's an honor for me to be here. I also
- 1:20:36want to thank God for my beautiful bride, my wife,
- 1:20:38Crystal Amanchukwu, who I have been married to now for
- 1:20:4217 years. (audience applauding) She's back home
- 1:20:48doing ministry work at the church. We had a women's
- 1:20:51weekend this weekend and God is using her mightily for
- 1:20:54this weekend along with my mother-in-law for those
- 1:20:57services. But I do want to honor my wife. She gave
- 1:21:00birth to all three of our children. Now you're
- 1:21:05probably wondering why I said it that way because we
- 1:21:08live in a time and a day where people believe that
- 1:21:10men can get pregnant. There is a method to my madness.
- 1:21:14Just hold on till you see. We live in a day where they
- 1:21:18believe men can get pregnant. We are starting to
- 1:21:20confuse a man's beer gut with his ability to carry a
- 1:21:25baby. And it takes a demon for a person to do as I have
- 1:21:36done. And every man, if you were in the delivery room
- 1:21:39when your wife gave birth to your child, raise your hand.
- 1:21:43Amen. Now it takes an insane man to sit there and witness
- 1:21:54the miraculous and divine miracle of bringing a child
- 1:21:58into the world and say at the end of that that you
- 1:22:02want to compete with your wife and mimic that and want
- 1:22:09to do the same thing. No, when I left out of the
- 1:22:12delivery room all three times I was there, I was
- 1:22:15present, I was present when we made the babies and I was
- 1:22:21present when they came into the world. A big hand clap
- 1:22:24goes right there. That's a message. I'll come back for
- 1:22:28that one. Look at your neighbor and shall be
- 1:22:31present. Hey, that's right. But yeah, um, I left out
- 1:22:37saying to myself, what manner of woman is this?
- 1:22:40Even the seas obey, thinking that she could walk on water
- 1:22:43because it's, it's a, it's a divine thing. It's a holy
- 1:22:48thing. You know, there's a sanctity that comes along
- 1:22:52with femininity, but we live in a day where men are
- 1:22:56trying to rob women of that. But I put things in his
- 1:22:59proper place. We honor the women of God. Come on. We
- 1:23:04celebrate them and we seek to protect femininity
- 1:23:09because men are the direct, direct recipients of it. We
- 1:23:13should protect it. Amen. I'm going to the word of the
- 1:23:18Lord on this, on this morning. I honor my children
- 1:23:22as well. I have three, John Patrick. He's the oldest.
- 1:23:25He's 16, middle child, Pamela, and Jewel. She's 14,
- 1:23:29my daughter, and my youngest is John Jr. who Pastor Hank
- 1:23:33talked about earlier. He drew a picture of me not too
- 1:23:36long ago. He was elated and excited to do it. He was so
- 1:23:40celebratory, he was in the office and said, "Daddy, I
- 1:23:43have something to show you, but you can't come in right
- 1:23:46now until I finish it." And so when he finishes his
- 1:23:49drawing, he walks out and he brings it to me. He said,
- 1:23:52"Are you ready?" I said, "All right, I'm ready." And
- 1:23:56he shows me this picture and he draws a beautiful
- 1:24:00American flag. You know, I teach my children to be
- 1:24:03patriotic. I believe that America is the greatest
- 1:24:07nation on the face of the planet. Blacks and
- 1:24:10minorities do better here than in any place or country
- 1:24:14on the face of the planet, including Africa. I'm
- 1:24:20blessed to be in the United States of America. I'm not
- 1:24:23gonna be walking around with a BLM spirit. Mad at
- 1:24:28America. The devil is a liar. So he drew a beautiful
- 1:24:35flag, and then he drew an image of me, and he put me
- 1:24:37in a blue suit with a red tie. And then at the top of
- 1:24:42it, he put President John Amanchukwu. (audience laughing)
- 1:24:50Now, in the mind of my eight year old son, he
- 1:24:57believes that his daddy is worthy enough who also bears
- 1:25:03the same name. He's a junior. He believes that his
- 1:25:07daddy is worthy enough to be the next president or so of
- 1:25:13the United States of America. And so maybe one
- 1:25:15day I'll become the first black president that America
- 1:25:19has ever had. (audience cheering) What do y'all
- 1:25:22think about that? Come on. (audience cheering) All
- 1:25:33right, let me go ahead and preach. I'm meddling. I'm
- 1:25:40messing too much. John 20:19-23. John 20:19-23.
- 1:25:56I'll be reading from the King James Version. And it reads,
- 1:25:59"Then the same day at evening." The text there is
- 1:26:05alluding to some things that happened prior to, and we
- 1:26:10know what happened. That very thing that Jesus spoke
- 1:26:15of and prophesied of came into manifestation and into
- 1:26:20fruition. He tore down his temple and was able to
- 1:26:27rebuild it in three days. Verse 19 says, "Then the
- 1:26:31same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
- 1:26:35when the doors were shut, where the disciples were
- 1:26:38assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood
- 1:26:44in the mist and saith unto them, "Peace be unto you."
- 1:26:51And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands
- 1:26:56and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw
- 1:27:02the Lord. Verse 21, then said Jesus to them again,
- 1:27:07"Peace be unto you, as my Father hath sent me, even so
- 1:27:12I send you." Verse 22, "And when he had said this, he
- 1:27:18breathed on them and saith unto them, receive ye the
- 1:27:25Holy Ghost, whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted
- 1:27:30unto them, and whosoever sins you retain, they are
- 1:27:36retained. Verse 19 shows us that God came forth and
- 1:27:47proclaimed peace. Everybody shout peace. Verse 20
- 1:27:54displays before us that God displayed proof by showing
- 1:27:59his hands and his side. Everybody shout proof. And
- 1:28:06then when we get to verse 22, we see where Jesus
- 1:28:11breathes on his disciples and he gives them a down
- 1:28:15payment, a little something something if you're from the
- 1:28:19south, a little something something. To tie them over
- 1:28:25until the fullness of the spirit would come. Everybody
- 1:28:29shout power. And that's my message this morning. Peace,
- 1:28:34proof, and power. In the early 1900s, Alice Bailey,
- 1:28:43who was known as the prophetess of the New Age
- 1:28:47movement, she concocted a ten-point plan on how she
- 1:28:53would deconstruct Western civilization. Keep in mind
- 1:28:58that Alice Bailey received her esoteric knowledge from
- 1:29:04a demonic medium by the name of Dwal Kul. Now this spirit
- 1:29:13that used her came forth through satanic power. And
- 1:29:22this satanic power that she used was given to her
- 1:29:28through demonology. She was not a righteous woman. She
- 1:29:34was not a holy woman. She was diabolical. Even within
- 1:29:39that, she is one of the original writers for the
- 1:29:42Luciferian Trust, which is a print organization that was
- 1:29:49steeped in satanology that was used to bring about
- 1:29:56demonic renewal in America. The first point that she
- 1:30:02highlights as it relates to her plan to deconstruct
- 1:30:08Western civilization, first and foremost, she sought to
- 1:30:11take God and prayer out of the education system. And we
- 1:30:16saw that this came into fruition in 1962 with the
- 1:30:20Ingle V. Vattel court case. During that time frame, a
- 1:30:25wicked woman by the name of Madeline Murray O'Hare used
- 1:30:30her son William to push her communist, atheist, and
- 1:30:36Marxist viewpoints. She projected her belief system
- 1:30:40on her child and then used her child as a pawn. I'm
- 1:30:47glad to report that her son William is now saved,
- 1:30:50sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost. But sadly,
- 1:30:56his mother is probably in the hottest part of hell.
- 1:31:03And through this quest to remove God from the public
- 1:31:08education system during that time frame, zero Christian
- 1:31:11organizations came forward to raise a brief to stop
- 1:31:15this from happening. The Christian Church was silent
- 1:31:19then and the church is silent today. According to
- 1:31:25former Secretary of Education William Bennett,
- 1:31:29he revealed in his cultural indexes that between 1960
- 1:31:34and 1990, as a result of prayer, school-sponsored
- 1:31:41prayer being removed from the public school system,
- 1:31:44divorce doubled, teenage pregnancy went up 200%.
- 1:31:51Listen to me. Teen suicide increased by 300%. Violent
- 1:31:59crime went up by 500%. And he maintains that there is a
- 1:32:04strong correlation between the expulsion of
- 1:32:09school-sponsored prayer and what he was able to see in
- 1:32:14his cultural indexes in 1960 and in 1990. Fast forward to
- 1:32:202025, we have transgender teachers who now have access
- 1:32:28to our school systems. And in the name of Drag Queen
- 1:32:32Story Hour, they have been given carte blanche, access
- 1:32:37to libraries and to our children. And men walk in in
- 1:32:43dresses with cosmetic femininity. Being a woman is
- 1:32:50more than a wig. Being a woman is more than some
- 1:32:54makeup. Being a woman is more than some fishnet
- 1:32:59stockings and some high heels and some stilettos.
- 1:33:04Being a woman is more than some lingerie. I can't get
- 1:33:08no help in here. But we have men who have now gained
- 1:33:14access to our children. And through this same agenda,
- 1:33:19they're projecting onto children and now allowing
- 1:33:23these same men who are boys at times to gain access to
- 1:33:27bathrooms. And now our daughters and our wives have
- 1:33:32to consider whether or not there's a man over there
- 1:33:36imitating them as they go to the stall. We also have the
- 1:33:44same travesty in sports, where boys and men are
- 1:33:49trying to compete against women. And every time I see
- 1:33:53this take place, I'm baffled because we're witnessing
- 1:33:57fathers sitting in the bleachers. Eat Mike and
- 1:34:04Ikes. Eat M&M's, plain and/or with peanut. Eat
- 1:34:13their Twizzlers, eat their Trollies, eat their Sugar
- 1:34:19Daddies, eat their popcorn, and you know you gotta have
- 1:34:24it all with a Diet Coke, right? It tastes better with
- 1:34:28a Diet Coke. And sit in the bleachers as their daughters
- 1:34:32are being defrauded. Hear me today, something is wrong
- 1:34:39with you, dad. Something's wrong with you, dad. You
- 1:34:44have a punk spirit. That's a punk spirit. If you can sit
- 1:34:50in the bleacher and watch your daughter be defrauded
- 1:34:54by a man and say nothing, just sit back and say, hey,
- 1:34:57well, I don't want to cause a disruption. The devil is a
- 1:35:01liar. At some point, Lord have mercy, testosterone
- 1:35:08rises up. And if you lost yours, you can get some
- 1:35:11more. They sell it. But something in you ought to
- 1:35:18make you say, I can't let my baby girl be treated that
- 1:35:23way. I got to move on. Point number two, I'm taking too
- 1:35:28much time there. Number two, she wanted to reduce
- 1:35:33parental authority over the children. And we see this
- 1:35:36take place today all around our nation. You have some
- 1:35:40school systems where kids can go and transition at
- 1:35:43school. They leave home as Jonna. Go to school and
- 1:35:49become John. Parents go to plays and programs and
- 1:35:54wonder why they never heard their son's name be
- 1:35:56mentioned. Solely because they have a different alias
- 1:36:00and identity when they get to school. God forbid. We
- 1:36:05have school systems today where children can go and
- 1:36:07receive information about how to get an abortion. You
- 1:36:12know, Planned Parenthood provides the majority of sex
- 1:36:16ed curriculum to kids in America. And our kids go to
- 1:36:21school and they receive this content and information, and
- 1:36:26they are duped. They are deluded. They're confused.
- 1:36:32Because at school, they're taught that you can murder a
- 1:36:36baby at any stage of gestation. But then when you
- 1:36:41get to the average church in America, the preacher
- 1:36:47leadership gets weak. And they preach a gospel where
- 1:36:58you can't discern whether or not where the pastor stands
- 1:37:03on the sanctity of life. And so they're confused at
- 1:37:09school. And then they're confused at church. Let me
- 1:37:15help you out. Every time I turn in this book from
- 1:37:18Genesis to Revelations, we see nothing but God's clear
- 1:37:23expression towards life. We have this thing called the
- 1:37:2710 Commandments. Number six says that thou shall not
- 1:37:31murder. That's enough to tell the preacher where you
- 1:37:35should stand on the sanctity of life. I've never seen a
- 1:37:40heartbeat bill in the book, in the Bible. I've never
- 1:37:45seen a place where it said you can practice
- 1:37:47infanticide. Never seen a place where we should lobby
- 1:37:52to see if we can get 20 weeks. The devil is a liar.
- 1:37:57I'm not lobbying for infanticide for 20 weeks or
- 1:38:01for a heartbeat bill. I am lobbying for thus saith the
- 1:38:06Lord. And the Bible says, Proverbs 6:16-19
- 1:38:14that God has hands that shed innocent
- 1:38:18blood. Now you may not like me saying that, but you
- 1:38:22know, that's your business. You have a right to disagree
- 1:38:26with me, but you don't have a right to disagree with
- 1:38:29God. The Bible says, "Let God be true, and every man a
- 1:38:35liar." We have liars in the Democrat Party who are lying
- 1:38:42to us about the sanctity of life. And we have liars in
- 1:38:45the Republican Party. I've dealt with lying liberals as
- 1:38:53I've traveled this country. And I've also dealt with
- 1:38:56some ratchet rhinos. The pendulum swings both ways,
- 1:39:02but there's only one political party, and we know
- 1:39:04who it is. It's the Democrat Party that's trying to make
- 1:39:07this commonplace. Republicans have to figure
- 1:39:11out how to message it to win over Christian
- 1:39:13conservatives. But it's the Democrat Party that wants to
- 1:39:16kill babies all the way up to 40 weeks, and if the baby
- 1:39:21survives the botched abortion, they say kill it.
- 1:39:26The devil is a liar. Number three, she wanted to destroy
- 1:39:31the Judeo-Christian family structure. And we see that
- 1:39:34taking place today. The church is confused. We don't
- 1:39:37know who we are. Reformed, unformed, deformed,
- 1:39:41conformed. All of these different statements and
- 1:39:45sayings on what on what on what we believe. I'm of this
- 1:39:51sect and I'm of that sect. Some believe in
- 1:39:54continuationism. Some believe that the gifts have
- 1:39:57ceased. But when you read the Word of God, you see
- 1:40:00that there is continuationism. Hello,
- 1:40:03somebody in this place. I want everything that this
- 1:40:09book promises me. We need the Father. We need the Son.
- 1:40:15But we also need the third part of the Trinity. Where
- 1:40:18would I be? Lord, have mercy. If it wasn't for the
- 1:40:23fourth man in the fire, y'all ain't gonna help me in
- 1:40:26here. Where would, hey, I feel like running in this
- 1:40:30place. I feel a run in the Holy Ghost. Where would I
- 1:40:36be? If it wasn't for the fourth man in the fire. See,
- 1:40:45we need the Holy Ghost. We need the Holy Spirit each
- 1:40:49and every day of our lives. Know it continues. I believe
- 1:40:53that you can lay hands on someone that's sick and
- 1:40:56according to a Shabbat, the power of God, if it is his
- 1:41:01will, that person will get up and that sickness will
- 1:41:06vanish. According to God's will. I believe that. I
- 1:41:12believe it. Number four. Help me, Holy Ghost. Number
- 1:41:20four. Alice Bailey said, "If sex is free, then make
- 1:41:24abortion legal and make it easy." We know what that has
- 1:41:28done. 70 plus million babies have been aborted since the
- 1:41:34inception of Roe v. Wade. A travesty. Amongst black
- 1:41:39people, 20 million of black people are missing because
- 1:41:44of abortion. And then the NAACP, an organization
- 1:41:49that's supposed to be for the advancement of colored
- 1:41:51people, they bowed to the LGBTQ agenda a long time
- 1:41:58ago. They're no longer trying to advance colored
- 1:42:02people, they're trying to advance queer people. And
- 1:42:06recently the NAACP showed their face. Instead of
- 1:42:11endorsing Lieutenant Governor Winston Sears, a
- 1:42:16black woman, and intelligent and articulate, all of it.
- 1:42:25She got the whole package. Instead of them endorsing
- 1:42:30the black candidate, they endorsed Abigail Spanberger,
- 1:42:36a baby killer, a modern day Margaret Sanger. That's who
- 1:42:41they supported. Now when the so-called organization is
- 1:42:46supposed to, you know, advance the cause of colored
- 1:42:49people, can't support the black candidate because
- 1:42:52they're Republican? That means that that organization
- 1:42:57has become defunct. I despise the NAACP with the
- 1:43:04perfect hatred. You have lost your mission and you've
- 1:43:08lost your agenda and the hand of God is against you
- 1:43:14because of your error and your wrongdoing. My name is
- 1:43:19John Amanchukwu and I approve that message. That's
- 1:43:22the way I feel about that. That's the way that I feel
- 1:43:27about that. Number five, Alice Bailey said, "Make
- 1:43:31divorce easy and legal, free people from the concept of
- 1:43:34marriage for life." We live in a day where you get
- 1:43:37divorced simply because you're not happy. Because
- 1:43:40marriage is about being happy. Right? Gotta be happy
- 1:43:45every day. Well, I'm not happy, or... Or you become
- 1:43:50Aisha Curry, married to a four-time NBA
- 1:43:54champion. He purports to be a decent and
- 1:43:58clean man. Now, I don't like his politics, but he seems
- 1:44:01like he's a very much so involved dad who supports a
- 1:44:04nuclear family. But she goes on a campaign to demonize
- 1:44:08him and show that she didn't want to have children,
- 1:44:10didn't want to get married, didn't want to do this,
- 1:44:12didn't want to do that, and she's sitting there as a
- 1:44:14multi-millionaire. I mean, how awful can you be? She's
- 1:44:20not happy, so therefore she's gonna tear down her
- 1:44:23home in the name of getting back at him because she
- 1:44:27never just wanted to be a wife or a homemaker or
- 1:44:32support the work that God has given him. Hear me
- 1:44:36today. There are many people today who want to get
- 1:44:38married, but they don't want the function that comes
- 1:44:47along with it. They want 20 bridesmaids, up some
- 1:44:53beautiful pictures, a wonderful moment. They want
- 1:45:00to post it for the world to see. But when when the band
- 1:45:04goes away, and when people go home, and you have to
- 1:45:10conform as one flesh and adhere to what God has set
- 1:45:16in place, trouble ensues. Let me move on. I'm losing
- 1:45:21my amen corner. Number six, Alice Bailey said make
- 1:45:27homosexuality an alternative lifestyle. Y'all already
- 1:45:32know what happens when you do that. Genesis 1:26, 27,
- 1:45:3528. We see there we're made in the image of God. We see
- 1:45:43there where if you do it God's way with the male and
- 1:45:45female construct, you can replenish the earth, be
- 1:45:49fruitful and multiply. Anything that keeps you from
- 1:45:53doing so is not a lifestyle, it's a death style. Life
- 1:45:59comes about when you do it God's way. You're gonna need
- 1:46:02a seed, and you're gonna need some eggs. Too much
- 1:46:11seeds, you won't have any babies. Too many eggs, you
- 1:46:17won't have any babies. It's only when you do it God's
- 1:46:21way (audience applauding) that the opportunity for a
- 1:46:27life coming forward can take place. Number seven, she
- 1:46:32said, "Debase art and make it run mad." In other words,
- 1:46:35she said, "Use things, even the theaters, even theater
- 1:46:39and arts to push your agenda." Number eight, she
- 1:46:42said, "Use the media to promote "and change
- 1:46:47mindsets." We call it the fake news. The media
- 1:46:52typically reports what they want you to know about a
- 1:46:55story. They always have their narrative. And there's
- 1:47:01a media strategy called jamming. They know how to
- 1:47:05put something in front of you long enough until you
- 1:47:09become desensitized towards it. How do we convince
- 1:47:14people to support new age abortion laws? Jam them up,
- 1:47:19put it before them. Talk about a woman's right to
- 1:47:23choose. How do we convince people to embrace
- 1:47:26transgenderism? Convince people that, you know, we
- 1:47:29should, we should be tolerant. We should be
- 1:47:32accepting. We should allow people to belong and we
- 1:47:37shouldn't judge. Don't judge. God didn't call us to
- 1:47:42judge. Don't, don't, don't judge. No, no, no, that's
- 1:47:49not what it says. Judge not lest you be judged. Which is
- 1:47:55the same measure you meet out. So I can't be out here,
- 1:47:59and I'm secretly a trans gender Preaching against
- 1:48:05transgenders. How you gonna do that if you're one?
- 1:48:10That's what that text means. It doesn't mean we can't
- 1:48:13call out iniquity and sin. The Bible says, "Mark those
- 1:48:20who cause divisions contrary to the gospel, to the
- 1:48:27doctrine." In other words, point it out. But today,
- 1:48:33when you point stuff out, instead of people fighting
- 1:48:37the issues, they fight the fighters. They fight the
- 1:48:43people who fight. They remind me of David's
- 1:48:46brothers. David's brothers would not fight. But when
- 1:48:50David showed up to the Valley of Elah ready to
- 1:48:53fight, bringing some lunch, they wanted to convince him
- 1:48:56not to fight. No, we need to support the fighters. That's
- 1:49:01why I support your pastor. What he's doing with this
- 1:49:03project with media and the books, the cartoons, the
- 1:49:09comics, don't, don't fight the fighter, support the
- 1:49:13fighter. I'm going to do everything I possibly can to
- 1:49:17support him in his work because we need it as never
- 1:49:22before. And number nine, she said create an interfaith
- 1:49:26movement. Put Christianity on equal par with all other
- 1:49:31faiths. That means that the Christian is going to the
- 1:49:35same place as the Buddhist, as the Islamist, as those
- 1:49:40who believe in Reverend Sun Yon Moon, and so forth and
- 1:49:44so on. But we have this pesky scripture that tells
- 1:49:50us that I'm the way, the truth, and the life, and no
- 1:49:57man come to the Father but by me. Now what are you
- 1:50:05gonna do with that? I'm not going to the same place as
- 1:50:10the Islamist, as the Buddhist, as the person who
- 1:50:15serves Big Belly Buddha. We're not going to the same
- 1:50:18place. I'm on my way to heaven. And I heard a song
- 1:50:28say, it said, "None but the righteous shall see God." If
- 1:50:35you believe that in this place, give God a hand clap
- 1:50:37of praise. Nothing but the righteous shall see God. And
- 1:50:46number 10, number 10, number 10. The last thing that
- 1:50:51Alice Bailey said is this. She said, "Get governments
- 1:50:56to make all these law." Y'all ready for the
- 1:51:02clincher? And then get the church, the ecclesia, to
- 1:51:11endorse these changes. I just summarized and gave you
- 1:51:18a clear viewpoint of why we're in the mess today in
- 1:51:22this country, that we are. And the church is constantly
- 1:51:28bending over for points one through nine. Bending over,
- 1:51:37tuck-tailing and running, won't touch issues with a
- 1:51:4010-foot pole, afraid to offend. Let me tell you
- 1:51:45something, everybody in this place, you know this to be
- 1:51:48the truth, that before you got saved, the preacher
- 1:51:54preached and it convicted you. You don't get saved for
- 1:51:59any other reason but conviction. When my mind
- 1:52:04goes back to that low place that I was in sin, chasing
- 1:52:10after youthful lusts, it was the preached Word of God. It
- 1:52:16was the preacher stepping on my toes and just, I mean,
- 1:52:23just driving his foot upon my toes. It was a prick that
- 1:52:31convicted me. The word is a prick, it's sharp. That's
- 1:52:37what Saul said on the road to Damascus. The Lord was
- 1:52:41speaking to him and told him, "It's hard for you to
- 1:52:43kick against a prick." That's what God says to him,
- 1:52:46"It's hard for you to kick against a prick." What's the
- 1:52:48prick? It's the conviction. It's what he had seen and
- 1:52:52heard. Through the martyrdom of Stephen, you can't fight
- 1:52:56against it. And if you are not convicted of sin, then
- 1:53:04you can't get saved. We have too many people claiming to
- 1:53:10know Jesus as Lord and Savior and you experience no
- 1:53:14conviction. It takes conviction to make a man
- 1:53:19say, "What must I do to be saved?" It takes conviction
- 1:53:24to make a man who's strung out on coke and dope and
- 1:53:28using all kinds of alcohol to soothe himself, it takes
- 1:53:34conviction to make him put that bottle down and say man
- 1:53:41I desire more than a pint of liquor. I need to know Jesus
- 1:53:47as my personal Savior and when you move from
- 1:53:51conviction to a confirmation towards the gospel then God
- 1:53:56gives you power to remove that vice and that cord that
- 1:54:00has you bound. Anybody ever been bound before him? But
- 1:54:06conviction is a thing that would get you out. So this is the
- 1:54:11point that John seeks to make, my friends, in John 20:19
- 1:54:18that when Jesus is no longer in the midst of
- 1:54:23the church, present and visible as he was with his
- 1:54:28disciples, it's easy for fear to creep in. That's
- 1:54:36what we see the disciples today in our main text.
- 1:54:39They're fearful, they're afraid because Jesus is
- 1:54:42gone. They don't know what to do. They may be the next
- 1:54:46ones to be killed. They may be the next Charlie Kirk.
- 1:54:52They may be the next person who the enemy may seek to
- 1:54:55take away. On the night that Peter was set free from
- 1:54:59prison by the angel of the Lord, according to Acts 12,
- 1:55:04verse 13, the Bible says that Peter knocked at the
- 1:55:09door of the gate and a damsel came and opened the
- 1:55:15door named Rhoda. In Mark chapter 2, four men who were
- 1:55:21carrying a paralytic man were hampered from entering
- 1:55:25into the front door of the house, so they tore the roof
- 1:55:28off in order to get to Jesus. In Luke 13:25,
- 1:55:36follow me here. While Jesus was preaching about the
- 1:55:40straight gate, he says, "When the master of the
- 1:55:42house has locked the door, "it will be too late. "He
- 1:55:46will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Lord, open
- 1:55:49the door for us.' But he will reply, 'I don't know you, oh,
- 1:55:54where you come from?'" In John chapter 10:9,
- 1:55:59it says that, "I am the door, by me if any
- 1:56:05man enter in, he shall be saved, he shall go in and
- 1:56:10out, and he shall also find pasture." But in verse 19 of
- 1:56:16John 20, "While it was getting late in the evening,
- 1:56:21Jesus doesn't knock on the door, nor does he rip open
- 1:56:27the roof, but he defies the laws of physics by divinely
- 1:56:32teleporting into the upper room. Without a door being
- 1:56:39opened, without a frame being moved, Jesus just
- 1:56:45shows up in the midst of their fear. And when Jesus
- 1:56:53shows up, he always brings peace. His presence, his
- 1:57:02mere presence is peaceful. The text says that they were
- 1:57:08assembled for the fear of the Jews. They were together
- 1:57:14in that upper room, prepared because they didn't know
- 1:57:18what would happen next. Hear me today, church. Fear in
- 1:57:22the Greek is the word phobos, which is where we
- 1:57:26get the English word phobia. And a phobia is an extreme,
- 1:57:31irrational, or unnecessary fear. It's the fear that
- 1:57:36people felt during the pandemic. I mean the
- 1:57:40pandemic. It's the fear of going into the house of God
- 1:57:49and fulfilling God's command that we not forsake the
- 1:57:55assembling of ourselves together. It's a fear that's
- 1:58:00conjured up in one's mind due to the lack of trust,
- 1:58:04belief, and failure to conquer the unknown. As I
- 1:58:08speak, there are over 1,000 known phobias. And this list
- 1:58:14grows daily. To list a few, you have autophobia, which
- 1:58:21is the fear of heights and mountains. I don't tell this
- 1:58:25often, but... (audience laughing) I have about, at
- 1:58:32times, with autophobia. Isn't that something God
- 1:58:35made me six foot four? (audience laughing) And I
- 1:58:39don't like driving up mountains, I don't like
- 1:58:42riding down mountains, the Bible doesn't tell us to do
- 1:58:44that. (audience laughing) The Bible doesn't say drive
- 1:58:47up a mountain. Or drive down a mountain. It says speak to
- 1:58:51the mountain. See, that's the problem. We driving up
- 1:58:58things that we should be speaking to. Y'all bear with
- 1:59:02my humor on this morning. Then you have teleophobia,
- 1:59:08which is the fear of religious ceremonies. The
- 1:59:13fear of going to church. Ladies, if you are dating a
- 1:59:17guy who has telephobia, leave him alone. Fellas, she
- 1:59:31has a slim waist, it came from the factory and
- 1:59:39everything in between. But if she doesn't want to go to
- 1:59:46the house of the Lord, leave her, leave her where she is.
- 1:59:52Can I get a witness in here? Oh Lord. Let me stop, let me
- 2:00:01stop. Then you have a maxophobia, which is the
- 2:00:08fear of riding or driving cars. I have an aunt who has
- 2:00:13a maxophobia. If you put her in your vehicle, make sure
- 2:00:19you have gap insurance. She's gonna tear your car
- 2:00:23up. From point A to point B. Then you have aerophobia,
- 2:00:31which is the fear of swallowing air. (audience laughing)
- 2:00:34Then you have palatophobia, which is the
- 2:00:39fear, and don't laugh at this one, of bald people.
- 2:00:43(audience laughing) The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh
- 2:00:50away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Let me tell you,
- 2:00:56this is a Gillette special. Gillette, the best a man can
- 2:01:01get. 15 strokes to the back in the shower and I'm good.
- 2:01:09Then you have falacrophobia, which is the fear of
- 2:01:14becoming bald. Then you have calligraphobia, and this
- 2:01:23phobia comes with the demon. It's the fear of beautiful
- 2:01:27women. Why a person would be afraid of a beautiful woman
- 2:01:31or doesn't make sense to me. Then you have lochiophobia,
- 2:01:37which is the fear of childbirth. And then you
- 2:01:41have gamophobia, which is the fear of marriage. Some
- 2:01:50folk want a date for five and eight and ten years. Let
- 2:01:57me tell you something, when a man, when a man loves a
- 2:02:06woman. I'm gonna stop. When a man loves a woman... I
- 2:02:23don't know the words. I'm teasing. But it doesn't take
- 2:02:28him five years to figure out if she's the one. And vice
- 2:02:40versa. It's almost like, you know, when you see that
- 2:02:48person, you meet them, God gets to speaking. You know,
- 2:02:55because as a man, we are called to pursue and to go
- 2:03:00find that bride, that woman. But if you're dating for
- 2:03:065 and 8 and 10 years, something is wrong. Doesn't
- 2:03:12take a man that long, 'cause matter of fact, if he really
- 2:03:15loves you, he's going to want to take you off the
- 2:03:18market. And claim you. Have you ever gone to a
- 2:03:24dealership before, wanted to get a vehicle, and you maybe
- 2:03:27you came too late, and they were getting ready to close
- 2:03:29up, but you saw the car that you wanted. They say, "Well
- 2:03:32yeah, you can get it, but you have to put a down
- 2:03:34payment on it. You have to take it off the market, take
- 2:03:36it off the lot, or you can set it aside and no one else
- 2:03:39can look at it until you purchase it." When a man
- 2:03:43loves a woman affectionately, and she is
- 2:03:47the only woman that he desires for the rest of his
- 2:03:50days, he claims that woman. Now men who play and toy
- 2:03:56with you, they'll date you forever and never consider
- 2:04:02marrying you. And so therefore y'all live
- 2:04:05together same home. Oh, I'm preaching in the culture.
- 2:04:13365 days a year in the same home, 366 in a leap year.
- 2:04:22Without getting married. Something's wrong with that.
- 2:04:27And ladies should not allow it and neither should men.
- 2:04:30In verse 19 of our text, the disciples were contending
- 2:04:35with their own unnecessary phobia. They feared that the
- 2:04:40Jews would kill them in the same fashion that they
- 2:04:42killed Jesus. Nevertheless, their fear was flawed. They
- 2:04:48had a flawed sense of fear. In Luke 12, verse five,
- 2:04:51Jesus says, "But I will forewarn you whom you shall
- 2:04:55fear. Fear him which after he hath killed hath power to
- 2:05:00cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, fear him." Charlie
- 2:05:09Kirk had the opportunity to write the foreword for my
- 2:05:13last book. And initially when I asked him to do it, I
- 2:05:19didn't think he would do it because of his busy
- 2:05:21schedule, but he did it. And in the foreword, he talks
- 2:05:26about the fact that he had to witness so many pastors
- 2:05:30cave during the pandemic. And why would you want to
- 2:05:35follow a Christian who's afraid of death? Do you not
- 2:05:44know what we get where we go in whose presence we are?
- 2:05:55When we leave this place, to be absent from the body is
- 2:06:03to be present with the Lord. We get streets paved in
- 2:06:10gold, 12 gates that lead to the city. We're going to
- 2:06:13drink from the crystal fountain. And guess what?
- 2:06:16There's a bowl in heaven that the world can't
- 2:06:21pervert. See, the rainbow has been perverted by the
- 2:06:27culture and God's rainbow, it naturally occurs in
- 2:06:33nature. It has seven colors based upon the Roy G. Biv
- 2:06:39system. Red, orange, yellow, y'all know it? Indigo
- 2:06:46valley. But the woke mob took out the color indigo,
- 2:06:54which represents God. So they want our symbols, but
- 2:07:01they don't want the Son of God. But when we get to
- 2:07:08heaven, there's another bow that will be above the
- 2:07:12throne of God. And this bow is an emerald bow. And this
- 2:07:19bow will only be seen by those who have confessed and
- 2:07:24professed the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
- 2:07:29(audience applauding) We should not fear death
- 2:07:37because death moves us closer to our redemption.
- 2:07:42Psalm 25:14 says, "The secret of the Lord is
- 2:07:45with them that fear him, "and he will show him his
- 2:07:49covenant." Psalm 27 says, "The Lord is my light and my
- 2:07:55salvation. "Whom shall I fear? "The Lord is the
- 2:07:59strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid when the
- 2:08:02wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat
- 2:08:06up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Saints of God, I
- 2:08:11know what it's like to feel walls closing in on you,
- 2:08:16sensing and wondering if today will be your last day.
- 2:08:22I've led a national campaign in 23 states, traveling from
- 2:08:27state to state in school boards meeting to school
- 2:08:30board meeting, fighting against gender theory and
- 2:08:33queer theory and critical race theory and the false
- 2:08:37triune idol of diversity, equity and inclusion. Now I
- 2:08:43call it a false triune idol because it mimics the
- 2:08:45Trinity. In the Trinity you have Father, Son and Holy
- 2:08:49Spirit. And DEI is diversity, equity and
- 2:08:53inclusion. And if you do not bow to the sacred cow of
- 2:08:56DEI, they will cancel you and try to de-platform you.
- 2:09:03I have fought against these things. I've even been
- 2:09:06handcuffed as Pastor Hank mentioned, solely for
- 2:09:11standing up for children and making sure that they do not
- 2:09:15become perverted by the culture. I know what it's
- 2:09:21like to feel fear, to wonder how people will respond
- 2:09:27because now a preacher is now being handcuffed. But
- 2:09:32the Holy Spirit tells me to keep going, keep fighting,
- 2:09:37keep contending, keep preaching, keep standing,
- 2:09:42keep serving, keep leading. I know what it's like to go
- 2:09:48to Maryland, speak at a school board meeting there.
- 2:09:55And when I show up to speak and put my name on the
- 2:09:58paper, everyone starts to tremble. You see, in
- 2:10:02biblical times when the prophets showed up, less
- 2:10:06people came out. In modern times when the prophet shows
- 2:10:11up, more people come out. And the reason is, is
- 2:10:16because when the prophet showed up, you wanted to
- 2:10:19know if it was well, because the prophet would send forth
- 2:10:24the judgment of God. Man, I came to the school board
- 2:10:29meeting in Baltimore and keep in mind, Baltimore has
- 2:10:32a black governor, a black mayor in Baltimore,
- 2:10:36Maryland. The school board is predominantly black, law
- 2:10:41enforcement predominantly black, the CEO of schools
- 2:10:45makes $479,000 a year, but the kids can't read or
- 2:10:49write, which is intentional. They are intentionally
- 2:10:57keeping these students suppressed and dumbed down
- 2:11:01in many of the urban cities in our country. How do you
- 2:11:07keep people as useful tools to your agenda? You make
- 2:11:13sure that they are low information thinkers so that
- 2:11:17they might become low information voters. It's
- 2:11:20intentional. It's intentional. And when I
- 2:11:28prepared to speak, the chairman of the board says,
- 2:11:32"Hey, we need to call a recess." Then they come back
- 2:11:37from the recess and they say, "Hey, we have a
- 2:11:40citywide emergency. We have a threat in the room."
- 2:11:48Somebody gonna catch that next week. They say, "We
- 2:11:53have a citywide emergency. There's a threat in the
- 2:11:57room, and we need to evacuate." And who was the
- 2:12:02citywide emergency? Who was the threat in the room? Let
- 2:12:11me tell you something, every time you go out to the
- 2:12:14battlefield, you are a threat. Shabbat. To the plan
- 2:12:21of Satan. Every time you contend for the faith, you
- 2:12:29are a threat to the plan of the devil. Every time you
- 2:12:36lift your voice as a trumpet in Zion, you are a threat to
- 2:12:43the plans of the devil. When you open your mouth in this
- 2:12:49culture and declare that Jesus is Lord, you are a
- 2:12:56threat. Can I get at least 50 people in here this
- 2:12:59morning to open up your mouth, give God some glory,
- 2:13:02give God some praise, and let the world see that you
- 2:13:09are a threat. To Satan's camp, come on in this place,
- 2:13:18open up your mouth. You've got a weapon in your mouth.
- 2:13:23Come on and praise his holy name. Every time we open up
- 2:13:35our mouth and make a divine declaration, a divine
- 2:13:41declaration, we serve notice to Satan. They were not
- 2:13:50afraid of John in that moment in Baltimore. They
- 2:13:55were not afraid of me reading from a pornographic
- 2:13:57book. They were not afraid of a black Christian
- 2:14:02conservative, even though they are primarily
- 2:14:05Democrats. They were afraid that I came into that room
- 2:14:17armed and dangerous. Shabbat locked and loaded. Can I get
- 2:14:26a witness in here? Can I get somebody to wave your Bible?
- 2:14:34Every time I feel the Holy Ghost in this place. Lord,
- 2:14:38have mercy. I'm locked and I'm loaded. And I'm ready
- 2:14:43for war. Come on. Get the pictures of people holding
- 2:14:48up their Bibles. Hold up your weapon. The weapons of
- 2:14:54our warfare are not counter, but are mighty. Look at
- 2:14:59somebody and shout mighty through God to the pulling
- 2:15:07down of strongholds. Y'all want to pull some stuff down
- 2:15:12this morning? Anybody want to pull some stuff down this
- 2:15:16morning? We pull down fear. Pull it down. Hey, shabbat.
- 2:15:24We pull down discouragement. Pull that thing down. We
- 2:15:30pull down doubt. Thank you, Jesus. We pull down the
- 2:15:37spirit of perversion. We pull down the spirit of
- 2:15:43cowardice. We pull down the spirit of rebellion. In the
- 2:15:52name of Jesus. We got one more. We pull down the
- 2:16:01spirit of apathy. No weapon, formed against you shall
- 2:16:11prosper. Ever return, Lord have mercy, ever return,
- 2:16:21risen in judgment shall be condemned. You are
- 2:16:29dangerous. You better not see yourself as being
- 2:16:36defeated because God has made you dangerous. You are
- 2:16:44a threat to the enemy's camp. Greater is he that
- 2:16:53sinned you than he that sinned the world. Come on
- 2:16:59and clap your hands for Jesus in this place. I'm
- 2:17:08finished. I'm finished. God gave them peace. He gave
- 2:17:15them proof and he gave them power. The Holy Spirit be
- 2:17:21upon you. May you go forth this week and be dangerous
- 2:17:28knowing that you're locked and loaded by the power of
- 2:17:36the Holy Ghost. God God bless you this morning.
- 2:17:46- Come on give God a big shout. Come on shout unto God with
- 2:17:50the voice of triumph. Come on lift up your voice. Those
- 2:17:53of you that are watching around the world lift up
- 2:17:56your voice. Come on clap your hands. All you people
- 2:18:01and shout, shout, shout, shout, shout, shout. There's
- 2:18:07victory. There's victory in the house of the Lord.
- 2:18:12There's victory in your house. Come on. Come
- 2:18:15on. [speaking in tongues] Oh, Father, we worship and
- 2:18:25bless you. We thank you, Father, this is sealed in
- 2:18:31the name of Yeshua. And Father, as we go into this
- 2:18:36week, even on Wednesday to recapture a generation, we
- 2:18:42prophesy over us that no spell, incantation, nothing
- 2:18:50of witchcraft, divination, where our names are being
- 2:18:55mentioned, it shall not prosper, and we call upon
- 2:18:59the fire, the judgment of God against every curse and
- 2:19:05every assignment. We break it. We are sealed in our
- 2:19:10covenant of blood, the blood of Yeshua. [speaking in tongues]
- 2:19:21And I declare over us a permanent covenant
- 2:19:28boundary line of the blood of the Lamb of God, Yeshua,
- 2:19:34around us, upon us, upon our loved ones, and all that has
- 2:19:41been entrusted in our hands. And nothing of evil is
- 2:19:47allowed to penetrate it. It's off limits. This is our
- 2:19:53heritage. We are healthy, we are whole, and we are
- 2:20:00redeemed because of the Lamb's blood. From all
- 2:20:04destruction, sickness, disease, tragedy, calamity,
- 2:20:09or trauma, we are preserved in our covenant. Thank you,
- 2:20:16God. Thank you, Lord. If you agree with that, say amen.
- 2:20:23Wasn't that powerful? Pastor Doug, come, wow. All
- 2:20:27right, well listen, I'll see you tomorrow on Flashpoint
- 2:20:29Tuesday, and then also Wednesday. We're gonna tear
- 2:20:32it up. And I hope I can talk to some of you on the phone.
- 2:20:34It'd be a lot of fun. But help me believe we're gonna
- 2:20:36get it done for God and for the children. Amen, Pastor
- 2:20:39Doug. Please, hey, let me just say this. Don't go walk
- 2:20:43around unless you have to. It's very disrespectful to
- 2:20:47God and to someone whose life might need to be
- 2:20:50touched and saved. Unless you absolutely have to
- 2:20:54leave, you give Pastor Doug and God just a few more
- 2:20:58minutes. He's not going to take long. Amen? Amen. I
- 2:21:01want to be a better church at that. Last week I was
- 2:21:04grieved. I walked in the back. I said, "Holy Spirit,
- 2:21:06that is unacceptable." Can you imagine if this was your
- 2:21:10moment to get saved? And God has been running after you
- 2:21:15your whole life, and finally you surrender and people
- 2:21:17start walking out? Well, answer to God. Let's get
- 2:21:22better about that. Now, if you have to leave or
- 2:21:25whatever, then do it. But I think we need to honor God
- 2:21:30and respect the person who stands behind the pulpit.
- 2:21:33Amen? God bless you. Thank you, church, you're great.
- 2:21:37- Amen, praise God. Well, hey, I'm
- 2:21:40fired up, how about you? (congregation applauding)
- 2:21:42Let me just mention, because I'm
- 2:21:44thinking of it right now, you can be seated for just a
- 2:21:47moment, that if you're interested in doing what
- 2:21:53Brother John does and confronting school boards or
- 2:21:56learning how to do it, or you would just wanna pray
- 2:21:58for those that are going out, we have groups that
- 2:22:01we're setting up, it's called the Hammer and Sword
- 2:22:03Ministry, and I talked about it a couple Wednesday nights
- 2:22:06ago, but if you're involved or want to be involved in
- 2:22:09that, go to the information center, just give them your
- 2:22:12name, say I want to be involved in Hammer and
- 2:22:14Sword, and someone will get in touch with you about
- 2:22:16that, and we won't send you out to the school boards
- 2:22:19without training, you'll go as a group, but you're gonna
- 2:22:23learn to speak up on behalf of the children, so just
- 2:22:26another opportunity if you'd like to get involved with
- 2:22:28that. I wanted to mention that this morning. Ushers,
- 2:22:32if you would be in the aisles now, if what I'd like
- 2:22:35to do at this point, we want to bless Brother John. What
- 2:22:38a message, what a mission he has. And online also, we'll
- 2:22:43put the giving information up. And we're going to
- 2:22:47receive an offering for him today. Whatever you can do
- 2:22:50to help defray the expenses of having him here. How many
- 2:22:54of you would say it was worth bringing him in today
- 2:22:57to get a recharge? We need a recharge in this area, in
- 2:23:02some of those basics. So let's bless him today. And
- 2:23:06you can make your payment, your giving, your offering
- 2:23:09to Lord of Hosts, and then we'll make sure that we
- 2:23:12bless him and take care of travel expense and
- 2:23:15everything to get him in here. And how many of you
- 2:23:18would like to see him come back again? So let's bless
- 2:23:22him real good today. Thank you for doing that. And
- 2:23:26while ushers are finishing up receiving, if you're
- 2:23:28online, just go ahead and give however you normally
- 2:23:31give. And there will be a drop down in there for guest
- 2:23:34speaker. And if you put it in there, guest speaker,
- 2:23:38drop down, we'll make sure that that offering is taken
- 2:23:42care of and Brother John is blessed. Amen. Well, he
- 2:23:46preached the gospel today. I don't really need to go into
- 2:23:49too much of that. I mean, when he talked about none
- 2:23:52but the righteous shall see God and he talked about
- 2:23:55blessed are those that are pure in heart for they shall
- 2:23:58see God, that really described salvation and the
- 2:24:02fact that every person, I wanted to bring that up
- 2:24:05today, every person that's born on this earth, and
- 2:24:09every person that's alive today, has to make a
- 2:24:11decision one way or another. And if you don't make a
- 2:24:13decision for Jesus Christ, you've already made a
- 2:24:16decision to follow the devil and his plan. And it might
- 2:24:19be under the form of Buddha, it might be under the form
- 2:24:22of Allah, maybe it would just be an atheist saying,
- 2:24:24"I don't believe in anything." But if you don't
- 2:24:27follow Jesus, you've already made a decision. But the
- 2:24:31good news is that God gives us the ability to make that
- 2:24:34decision, doesn't He? And we can do that. And I want to
- 2:24:36give you, everyone here watching and those that are
- 2:24:38online today, an opportunity. I wouldn't want
- 2:24:40you to leave this place without knowing 100% that
- 2:24:45when you depart this earth, you're going to heaven.
- 2:24:50Brother Arlie over here told me a sad story. His
- 2:24:5543-year-old niece was taken out in a car accident, I
- 2:24:59believe. Is that right? It just happened a couple days
- 2:25:03ago. 43 years old, she was in a terrible car accident.
- 2:25:09Fortunately, she went home to be with the Lord. She was
- 2:25:12at a funeral that was held here about probably three
- 2:25:16years ago. And she accepted the Lord during that time.
- 2:25:21So praise God, she was on her way to heaven. Now she's
- 2:25:23rejoicing in heaven. So we have to make that decision
- 2:25:27while we're alive. You can't take it for granted. Every
- 2:25:30day you have to be thankful that you're alive and can
- 2:25:33fulfill what God's called you to do. But then be
- 2:25:36ready. Be ready. We need to be ready so that whenever
- 2:25:41you leave, every day we're closer to going home with
- 2:25:44Him. Whenever that day happens, you can be in
- 2:25:47eternity with Him. So bow your heads with me. I think
- 2:25:51the ushers have pretty much received the offering now.
- 2:25:54If there's anyone here today and you say, Pastor Doug, I
- 2:25:56haven't made that decision, I'm not 100% sure that if I
- 2:26:01was to leave this earth, if I was to be in a terrible
- 2:26:04car accident and just leave this earth this week, I'm
- 2:26:07not 100% sure I'd be in heaven. I need to know that.
- 2:26:11If you need to know that today, you can know that
- 2:26:13today. You can be assured today before you leave here
- 2:26:16that you have a place in heaven and you'll be there
- 2:26:20for eternity. We should shun hell and look forward to
- 2:26:26heaven. That should be what we're doing. And if that's
- 2:26:30you today and you say, "I need prayer," that's where
- 2:26:33it starts. It's just a simple prayer. I'm going to
- 2:26:35pray with you today. It's a simple thing. We're not
- 2:26:38going to embarrass you, but I want you to have the
- 2:26:40opportunity to pray. And wherever you're at, even at
- 2:26:43home, you can pray with us. But here's what I want you
- 2:26:46to do. I'm going to count to three. And if you're saying,
- 2:26:49"Pastor Doug, I need that prayer you're talking about.
- 2:26:53I need to know that I'm going to heaven. I need to
- 2:26:56make sure that hell is not in my future. I want to
- 2:26:59serve God because He has a wonderful plan for each of
- 2:27:01us. He has a destiny, a plan. He'll bless you with
- 2:27:07healing, with prosperity, with relationships. He'll
- 2:27:12bless you in your life, but you have to learn to make a
- 2:27:17decision to follow Him. And that's what we're doing
- 2:27:21today. You're making a decision to follow Christ.
- 2:27:23And if that's you and you want prayer this morning,
- 2:27:26I'm going to ask you when I count to three to raise your
- 2:27:28hand. We're going to have you raise your hand quickly,
- 2:27:32and I'm going to pray for you. One, two, three. If
- 2:27:36that's you, you need prayer. I see a hand down here. I
- 2:27:39see another one over here. Is there another? And
- 2:27:41someone in the stadium seats. I see another one up
- 2:27:43here. You need Jesus this morning. You say, I want
- 2:27:46Jesus. I'm going to ask you to even be bolder. I'm going
- 2:27:48to ask you to stand up where you're at right now. Stand
- 2:27:51up, please. If you raise your hand, stand up. And I'm
- 2:27:54going to ask you to get out of your seat, come to the
- 2:27:56nearest aisle, and just come right down here to me today.
- 2:27:59Give them a hand as they come. Give them a hand.
- 2:28:03Thank you. Thank you from the stadium seats. We'll
- 2:28:06wait for you. If you're with friends, they'll wait. Come
- 2:28:09down here this morning. Just face me. That's great. Thank
- 2:28:14you, sir, for doing that. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you,
- 2:28:17little one. Thank you for coming today. Thank you for
- 2:28:20coming, guys. I want to just make sure...
- 2:28:23is there anyone else you need to come? Anyone else?
- 2:28:27We're waiting. Do you need to come? OK. OK. God is
- 2:28:32proud of you today. The Bible says, when you come to
- 2:28:35the Lord, heaven rejoices. Some of you may have
- 2:28:38relatives that have went on to heaven already,
- 2:28:41aunts, uncles, grandparents, whatever.
- 2:28:44They're rejoicing today because they're seeing you
- 2:28:46today. They're watching. When you go to heaven, you
- 2:28:48witness what goes on in earth. And they're watching,
- 2:28:51and they're seeing you today. And I'm so proud of
- 2:28:54you. Every age group from - we've got from,
- 2:28:58what, 5 years old to, I don't know,
- 2:29:00probably 20 or 30, most of you at the oldest. 60? Up to
- 2:29:0560. Oh, but what a wonderful thing to make a decision for
- 2:29:09Him. And it just starts with a prayer. Starts with a
- 2:29:13prayer, a prayer of repentance. The Bible says
- 2:29:16we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
- 2:29:19And that means we've all made mistakes. Every person
- 2:29:22in this room and everyone in the world has fallen short.
- 2:29:24None of us could get to heaven on our own. But what
- 2:29:27we do is we bow down to Jesus. In other words, we
- 2:29:30make Him the Lord. And we say, Jesus, you can take
- 2:29:36away my sin. You can forgive me for sin. And you can
- 2:29:39believe that. And then you receive it. And you receive
- 2:29:42Him as Lord. That's what it amounts to. He went to the
- 2:29:45cross of Calvary and died for us. And now you have the
- 2:29:48opportunity to receive Him as your Lord. This will
- 2:29:50change your life. Is this October 25th? 26th. I'm
- 2:29:55always off one day. You know, the calendar goes so
- 2:29:58fast. So October 26, 2025 is a day that will live in
- 2:30:03infamy in your life. In other words, it's a day that
- 2:30:06you'll never forget because it's a day that you received
- 2:30:09Jesus. So never forget October 26. That's why I
- 2:30:12have you come forward because it's a special
- 2:30:15marker in your life. And I want you to follow Him now
- 2:30:19as we pray this. But we're going to pray together. You
- 2:30:21repeat after me. As I pray, you just repeat after me.
- 2:30:24Father in heaven, thank you for sending Jesus. I believe
- 2:30:30he went to the cross of Calvary, and I believe he
- 2:30:33died for me. And the Bible says he was buried, and he
- 2:30:39rose again from the dead on the third day. I believe
- 2:30:43that. Jesus, I want to serve you. I ask you, be the Lord
- 2:30:50of my life. Forgive me for sin in my life. Make me a
- 2:30:56new creation, and I will serve you all the days of my
- 2:31:00life. In Jesus' name I pray. Altar team, would you run up
- 2:31:05here now? I want you to stand behind them and take
- 2:31:07care of them. Our altar team is out here, and I had
- 2:31:09forgot to ask them to come forward. They're going to
- 2:31:11give you some information today. They're going to have
- 2:31:14you fill out a little sheet of paper so that we can send
- 2:31:16you a congratulations letter. We want to help you
- 2:31:18in your walk today. And thank you again for doing
- 2:31:21this. I just want to shake your hands as
- 2:31:23congratulations. Thank you, son, for doing that. Thank
- 2:31:26you, sir. Thank you, ma'am. I appreciate you making that
- 2:31:29decision. Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate that. Thank you
- 2:31:32for coming today. God bless you. God bless you, sir. God
- 2:31:35bless you. Good to see you. Oh, thank you so much. Well,
- 2:31:40I'm just excited about that. Isn't it worth waiting for
- 2:31:43that? Yes. Praise God. Well, I have a couple
- 2:31:47announcements, and then I'm going to let you go while
- 2:31:49these folks are filling out the information and getting
- 2:31:52everything taken care of. Also, I guess I forgot to
- 2:31:55mention, if online you made that decision - did we put
- 2:31:58up the prayer line already? I didn't
- 2:32:00notice. Yeah, okay, it was up there. You can call that
- 2:32:03prayer line, even if you're watching this archive and
- 2:32:06this message touched your heart. You can call the
- 2:32:08prayer line 24 hours a day and our prayer counselors
- 2:32:10will send the same information that these are
- 2:32:13receiving today. They'll pray with you and you'll
- 2:32:15know that you're on your way to heaven also. So I just
- 2:32:17wanted to mention that. Couple other things, don't
- 2:32:20forget, Pastor Hank will be on Flashpoint this week, 7
- 2:32:24o'clock Central Time. Don't miss that, Monday and
- 2:32:28Tuesday. And then there's two events coming up on
- 2:32:31November 13th that I wanted to mention to you. If you're
- 2:32:33not a member of this church, and you say, I wanna get
- 2:32:36involved in this church, I wanna serve in this church,
- 2:32:39I feel like Lord of Hosts should be my church, then
- 2:32:42you can sign up for membership seminar, which is
- 2:32:45November 13th, and it's a Thursday evening, and then
- 2:32:49we'll receive you in the following Sunday as a member
- 2:32:52of Lord of Hosts. In order to serve here, in order to
- 2:32:54work in the nursery, or greet, or usher, or do
- 2:32:57anything like that, you have to be a member. So you can
- 2:33:00go to the Information Center, sign up. We'll make
- 2:33:02sure you're part of that class on Thursday, November
- 2:33:0513th. Also, we have a special movie night that
- 2:33:09same night. For those of you that are not in membership
- 2:33:11class, the premiere of All is Merry and Bright, a
- 2:33:15wonderful Christian family movie is happening, and Lord
- 2:33:19of Hosts bought out a theater for that. We have
- 2:33:22100 seats that are available at the ACX in Elkhorn, and
- 2:33:27you can sign up for that. Information's on the screen.
- 2:33:30You can download that QR code, scan it for tickets.
- 2:33:33They're $12 a piece, better than what you'd pay if you
- 2:33:36walk in and paid your own price, and just sign up and
- 2:33:39show up, and that'll be a great time of fellowship and
- 2:33:43just supporting. How many of you think we should support
- 2:33:45good Christian movies? In fact, this one, this movie
- 2:33:52actually has a physical healing in it that they
- 2:33:55credit to God, which that doesn't usually happen in
- 2:33:58movies anymore. Even in Christian movies, sometimes
- 2:34:00they don't get that bold. So this one is worth
- 2:34:03supporting. And I think that's pretty much it. Don't
- 2:34:07forget, you heard a lot about Rescuing a Generation.
- 2:34:11That's this coming Wednesday night, online only. So get
- 2:34:14involved with that. A lot of things on the calendar. But
- 2:34:17God bless you. Thank you again for waiting patiently.
- 2:34:20Have a wonderful weekend. And we'll see you in the
- 2:34:23house next Sunday. It'll be a wonderful time to be back
- 2:34:26together. God bless you. Thank you, online audience,
- 2:34:28for tuning in. Have a wonderful weekend.
