Latest / Godly Hacks / Arrested for John 3:16: Ireland's Pastor in Jail
Transcript
- 0:01This is an unusual Godly Hacks podcast. It's not the normal tips for money or tips for this.
- 0:07I have a message to those in Ireland. I do have some listeners in Ireland,
- 0:11and I have a message specifically to the moron that arrested the pastor in Ireland.
- 0:19He is District Judge Peter King. He said that the pastor tested the law to the
- 0:26point he broke the law. Well, I've got a message to the judge in Ireland.
- 0:30You're the one that's testing God, and you are going to be found guilty.
- 0:36And justice is coming for you, you crazy, insane judge.
- 0:41Demonized lunatic. So if you're listening to me today, welcome to Godly Acts.
- 0:45And if you're in a different country other than Ireland, this applies to you
- 0:49because there's going to be more pressure in the end times, in the last days
- 0:54against the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 0:57And what are you supposed to do? I really feel in my heart, if you're listening
- 1:02to me right now, a lot of Christians are not ready.
- 1:05I'm going to do three hacks to help get you ready and three things that the
- 1:08Bible says to encourage you and why something like this should not upset you
- 1:12in the sense that you feel hopeless, but charge you.
- 1:16Excite you because the gospel was preached on the backs of men that were beaten,
- 1:21that were crucified, that were thrown in jail.
- 1:24And we've gone a long time without that.
- 1:27And I think it's coming back around and it's not exciting. It's not fun.
- 1:31It shouldn't happen. But when the people, when the church people sit there and
- 1:36you don't do anything and you don't do anything and you don't back these sucky
- 1:41politicians off, this is what you get.
- 1:44So if you're listening to me and you are a young person in Ireland today or
- 1:48an old person or a middle-aged person, you all need to hit the streets with
- 1:53your Bibles in your hand.
- 1:55And really you all should just hold hands and recite John 3,
- 1:5816 over and over again. What are they gonna do? Arrest you all?
- 2:02Don't you think in Ireland y'all been fighting long enough? Don't you think
- 2:05there's been enough things that you've been fighting about, why don't you come together with this?
- 2:10I don't care if you're a Protestant, a Catholic, a Pentecostal,
- 2:13grab your Bible and read John 3.16.
- 2:16As a matter of fact, why don't you stand outside that idiot judge's house and
- 2:19just begin to recite John 3.16 to him? That would be a good idea.
- 2:22And for the rest of the world listening, if you've got wicked political leaders,
- 2:27just know that if they tell you that you can't preach the gospel, they're full of a devil.
- 2:31I don't care what excuse they give for it. They are full of devils.
- 2:34And this guy was preaching next to a hospital and it was an abortion clinic.
- 2:39And obviously they don't want you preaching the gospel because guess what that'll do?
- 2:43That'll make a mother not wanna kill her baby if she's thinking about the love of God.
- 2:48So to that judge, you're a wicked heathen and may God's justice come for you.
- 2:54So let me get onto my message.
- 2:55I don't know where you're listening from. We have listeners besides Ireland,
- 2:59but I'm specifically talking to my Irish listeners today. I love you. I am praying for you.
- 3:05I am praying for this mighty man of faith and power.
- 3:09I mean, what a precious, precious man. Actually, let's listen to his news thing
- 3:15real quick before I get started.
- 3:17Let me see if I can find it. I just had it. Hold on one second.
- 3:20I will put it up for you. Yeah, listen to this. Pastor was just convicted for preaching.
- 3:26So, Pastor Johnson was convicted for preaching near an abortion clinic.
- 3:31What a precious man of God, and great is his reward. Listen to what he said.
- 3:36That day for Christian freedom, we held a short, brief, open-air Sunday service
- 3:43near Coleraine Hospital.
- 3:45We made no reference whatsoever to abortion, and yet the buffer zone law is
- 3:51so broad that But holding a Sunday service has been found to be a criminal offence.
- 3:58For 78 years, I find myself for the first time convicted of a crime.
- 4:05I know it was an unusual place to hold an open air service.
- 4:09But that was the point. There shouldn't be any public spaces in Northern Ireland
- 4:14where you can be prosecuted and convicted simply for preaching the gospel. Exactly.
- 4:20If someone is out there causing trouble, stirring up violence,
- 4:24harassing, or verbally attacking people, then absolutely go ahead and prosecute.
- 4:29But I wasn't doing any of those things as the police video shows.
- 4:34And everyone involved in this case accepts.
- 4:37Preaching John 3.16 Come on, preacher. Preach it.
- 4:43Yes, sir.
- 4:48That's right, my brother. If there was ever a time in those near a hospital
- 4:53or far from a hospital needed to hear that message of hope.
- 4:58Today is the day. And today in this court, this was criminalized.
- 5:04This was criminalized.
- 5:06You're insane, Ireland judge. You are insane.
- 5:10Have you not learned anything from Goliath? Did you not learn anything from
- 5:14the king that was eaten up with worms?
- 5:16Have you not learned anything of a Roman empire that doesn't exist?
- 5:19You cannot and will not stop the church of Jesus Christ.
- 5:23And I pray to God that this pastor comes out so far on top that multitudes of
- 5:30money come in for him for the end of his days, that he just gets refreshed, rewarded.
- 5:36I pray to God that if they do put him in any kind of jail cell,
- 5:40that revival breaks out in the middle of Ireland.
- 5:43I pray that young people, young women, young men, young teenagers and old are
- 5:48so sick and tired of their pathetic government, that they hit the streets preaching
- 5:53the gospel, and that there's not enough police officers to contain it.
- 5:57As a matter of fact, I pray that over every country that's listening to me.
- 6:01Over Jordan, over Iraq, over Iran, over Singapore, over Japan.
- 6:07May these mighty men of faith and power rise up and crush the opposition to
- 6:13the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so tired of it, but guess what?
- 6:18God is not surprised. And the same way he shook the prison open for Peter,
- 6:22he can do for this pastor.
- 6:24And the same way that he brought people to their knees who came against him,
- 6:29the same way that Paul the apostle continued to press against the church and
- 6:34cause issues and Jesus knocked him
- 6:37off a donkey is the same way that these politicians are gonna get knocked.
- 6:42And so on today's Godly Hacks, I know it's different, but I'm a little fired
- 6:47up and I'm sick and tired of these morons that do things like this.
- 6:51And if you're listening to me and you're a Christian and you think you're never
- 6:55gonna get arrested, you better think twice.
- 6:58And you better get ready in case it happens. So let me help you out.
- 7:02When you preach the gospel, sometimes it will come at a cost.
- 7:06In Northern Ireland, it came at a cost with this pastor, but I hope that he
- 7:10gets so encouraged that he doesn't even think twice.
- 7:13The good news is that this is not the first time that the people of God have been threatened.
- 7:19Come on it's happened all throughout the scripture so what do you do when there's
- 7:24pressure because pressure does not mean that God has left you him going to jail
- 7:29does not mean that God wasn't pleased with his message you understand that.
- 7:39This doesn't mean that God was— Sorry, I just realized that I had my other mic
- 7:43on. I hope you guys could hear me. I'm assuming that you can.
- 7:46Hopefully you could. It doesn't mean that God is not there for him.
- 7:52Jesus promised that the end-time church would be popular.
- 7:55He promised that we would be powerful. In John 16, 33, These things I've spoken
- 8:00to you, that in me you may have peace.
- 8:02In the world you'll have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I've overcome the
- 8:06world. the early church was not arrested because they were weak.
- 8:10They were arrested because they were shaking cities. Come on.
- 8:14And that's what this older pastor was doing. You might think,
- 8:16well, it's just John 3.16.
- 8:18But yeah, John 3.16 is enough to shake hell.
- 8:22That's what it is. And when he's standing there saying, for God so loved the
- 8:26world, that devil that wants to kill babies began to tremble and caused him
- 8:31to get arrested and put him in jail.
- 8:33Well, devil, you can arrest him all you want. You can put him in jail all you want.
- 8:37But you are still going down and you're going into a pit forever. So in the end, you lose.
- 8:42And in Acts 4.18, it said, they called and commanded them.
- 8:47This is the same stuff. This is the same devil.
- 8:50They commanded the apostles not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.
- 8:54But Peter and John answered and said, whether it's right in the sight of God
- 8:58to listen to you, you judge, but we cannot but speak the things that we've seen
- 9:03and heard. You see, that's what God said.
- 9:05The spirit is, we're not gonna be hateful. We're not gonna be fear-filled.
- 9:09We will not be hiding. But we are saying, we will not stop saying what Jesus
- 9:14has done. And that's what this pastor said.
- 9:16Now, hack two, when man locks the door, God still has the key.
- 9:21In Acts 12, Peter was arrested, put in prison.
- 9:24Herod thought the chains could stop the move of God. But while Peter was sleeping
- 9:28in prison, the church was praying. Come on, pray.
- 9:31Let's pray now. Father, I lift up this great, mighty man of faith and power
- 9:35this pastor in Ireland that was arrested.
- 9:39Let me get his name proper, y'all, so that we have it.
- 9:42Name of the pastor in Ireland that's arrested.
- 9:46Yes, 78 years old. What is the wrong with him? Pastor Johnson, Pastor Clive Johnson.
- 9:52Lord, I lift him up to you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth,
- 9:55and I pray that you will break him out, that you will radically promote him,
- 10:00that good things will come his way, and that the judge that did this will be
- 10:03crushed under your feet.
- 10:04And it said that Peter was arrested and put in prison and Herod thought the
- 10:09chains would stop the move of God.
- 10:11But while Peter was sleeping, the church began praying and in Acts 12,
- 10:16five through seven, it says Peter was kept in prison, but constant prayer was
- 10:20offered up to God for him by the church.
- 10:22And behold, an angel of the Lord stood there and a light shined in the prison
- 10:26and he struck Peter and he raised him up and said, get up quickly.
- 10:30And then what happened? Peter escaped, Peter got out.
- 10:33The chains fell off. They didn't loosen, they fell right off.
- 10:37And that's what God's going to do.
- 10:38He's going to stop this. In Acts 12, 10, when they were past the first and second
- 10:42guard, they came to an iron gate,
- 10:45The gate opened because when God says, come out, even the iron has to obey.
- 10:50You may be in a locked season, but you do not serve a locked up God.
- 10:55Come on, I'm telling you all that God can do great things. And I don't know
- 10:58where you're listening, but there is going to be a lot more pressure coming.
- 11:01But you, you are equipped.
- 11:03You can handle it. You are full of the Holy Ghost and fire. And if you're not,
- 11:07you can receive the Holy Ghost.
- 11:09You can be baptized in the Holy Ghost and that will give you boldness.
- 11:13And hack three, persecution can become a platform for revival.
- 11:17Isn't that how the church was birthed to begin with?
- 11:20Isn't this how this whole thing started? That when they would lock people up
- 11:23and no matter what they did, the angel would shake the prison.
- 11:26They'd get out. They'd beat them. They'd keep preaching. They weren't afraid.
- 11:30Paul's like, I'm just going to keep preaching. They stoned him.
- 11:32They left him for dead, but he kept preaching. That's how this whole thing began.
- 11:36In Acts 16, 25, but at midnight, come on at midnight, Paul and Silas were praying
- 11:41and singing hymns, and the prisoners were listening, and suddenly there was a great earthquake,
- 11:47so the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately the doors were opened.
- 11:52Come on, this praise didn't just set them free. It freed everybody around them.
- 11:56And the jailer cried out, what do I got to do to be saved? Acts 16, 31.
- 12:01So they said, believe on the Lord Jesus and you'll be saved.
- 12:04The prison became a pulpit. The jailer became converted.
- 12:09The attack was an altar call. So the devil might think that he builds a prison,
- 12:14but God turned it into a church service.
- 12:16And that's what's going to happen to you and to me and to Christians in these
- 12:21last days. We are not going to let a wicked government filled with demonized
- 12:26politicians tell us when we can preach, but you're going to need a backbone.
- 12:30You're going to have to tell them you don't like, they try to silence you in
- 12:33Canada. They try to silence you in the UK.
- 12:36You're going to have to get a backbone and you're going to have to tell them
- 12:38we're going to preach. You're not going to put me in jail. I'm going to preach.
- 12:42And if they put you in jail, you preach in jail.
- 12:44You open your mouth and wherever you go, you preach the truth of the gospel
- 12:48of Jesus Christ. And I'm telling you, I am praying that a fire breaks loose
- 12:53in Ireland, the likes that they have never seen.
- 12:56I pray that the streets become filled with bold youth of Ireland and they shake
- 13:02the streets so that that judge overturns his decision.
- 13:05As a matter of fact, not only that decision, but that stupid,
- 13:08pathetic law that they put on the books gets crushed and removed.
- 13:13That a new politician would, or however y'all do, I don't know what you do there,
- 13:16but that that politician that did that law,
- 13:19that he will be removed immediately and he will never be back in office and
- 13:24that a good, holy and a righteous person will take office and change that law
- 13:28immediately and revival will break out. God, I thank you for doing that.
- 13:33And so I don't know where you're watching me from, but you need to believe God
- 13:37that he's going to help you, that you'll be able to preach the gospel and you shouldn't be afraid.
- 13:42And a hack for your life is if you want God to do great things for you,
- 13:46you can't be afraid. You can't be fearful.
- 13:49You can't be worried. You have to stand up with faith and power and you have
- 13:53to say, you know something, enough is enough.
- 13:57And that's what people need to say. You know, that this Bible that you claim
- 14:01to believe, the Bible that you read, it wasn't birthed because men were just casual.
- 14:06It wasn't birthed in churches with air conditioning and coffee freaking stations.
- 14:11And like we've got in America, I don't know what your church is like where you are.
- 14:15But freaking in America, you can't tell the difference between a church and a bougie coffee shop.
- 14:21You know, you got the lights and the smoke and the air conditioning and the
- 14:24big freaking seats. because, you know, in America, we eat 10 billion pounds
- 14:27of food and we're all fat over here.
- 14:29Just so y'all know, in foreign countries, we're all fat and chubby.
- 14:33I got a little extra weight on me, but I'm working on it. But we're all big.
- 14:37So the seats are big and it's all big.
- 14:39And you got the lights and the smoke and the bougie coffee house and whatever.
- 14:43I mean, what in the world?
- 14:44But the gospel of Jesus Christ was not brought to you like that.
- 14:48The gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul said, I was wounded. I was shipwrecked.
- 14:52I was buried or not buried. I'm sorry. I was floating a night and day in the deep.
- 14:56I I've been in perils of my countrymen and my friends and strangers and robbers.
- 15:02I've been broke and rich and naked.
- 15:04And I mean, all kinds of stuff. He was bit by a snake, but yet he kept preaching the gospel.
- 15:10And so I believe that God is raising up a mighty army.
- 15:14Maybe you're listening to me and you're part of that army.
- 15:18You are a force to be reckoned with. You are a young person with a fire that's burning in you.
- 15:24For the gospel of jesus christ there's something
- 15:27in you that will not be silent and you
- 15:30won't be able to do it alone but if you grab some of
- 15:33your friends and what are they going to do arrest you all they can't
- 15:36maybe there's a street full of 200 300 500
- 15:40what are they going to do bring the paddy wagons and arrest you all no they're
- 15:44not if you all go out there like when the muslims come out those crazy nut muslims
- 15:48come in the street they don't do nothing to them so just be like them Just go
- 15:52out there in the street and begin to pray like hundreds of you and stuff and
- 15:56just be done with it. And don't back down.
- 15:59Don't let the devil put fear in you. You have a God in heaven that made the
- 16:04heaven and the earth and the moon and the stars, and he put his fire in you.
- 16:09And if you're listening to me and you don't have the baptism
- 16:12of the holy spirit you need it it's not
- 16:16tongues he's a person and in
- 16:18the book of acts it said that fire fell on them and they began to speak with
- 16:24other tongues there's a fire from heaven jesus said don't go anywhere until
- 16:29you get this power and that fire from heaven my friend will give you but i don't
- 16:33even know if this pastor is baptizing in the Holy Ghost, but he's definitely bold.
- 16:38But if you're a young person listening or an old person and you've never received
- 16:42the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.
- 16:45You can now read the book of Acts chapter one, chapter two, chapter three.
- 16:51And then as I pray, you just believe God. How do you do it, Lisa?
- 16:55You just say, Father, fill me with the Holy Spirit and you open your mouth,
- 17:00and begin to speak in a language that's not English.
- 17:08And I am telling you, my friend, you will have extreme boldness and the devil
- 17:12will get his lunch handed to him every single day.
- 17:16So I pray that this message has encouraged you, inspired you.
- 17:21You might not be in Ireland, but this spirit is coming for you because it's
- 17:26sick, it's demonic, and it wants to stop the preaching of the gospel.
- 17:31But you're going to have to be like the apostles that you read about.
- 17:36And you can do it. You've got faith. You've got power.
- 17:39You can be a bold person for Jesus Christ. And I am telling you,
- 17:43I am telling you, you serve a mighty God and he will empower you.
- 17:48He will put fire in your tongues.
- 17:50He will bless you. He will give you the words to speak for those of you in ireland
- 17:55you will go ahead i only have a couple listeners but if you can get this message
- 17:59just share it to some other friends and may the god of heaven may the god of
- 18:04heaven send fire to ireland to go into the hearts of the people and that same fire.
- 18:11Burn up the politicians that have come against the church of Jesus Christ.
- 18:15And whatever nation you're in, that is my prayer for you. That the God of heaven
- 18:20will set you ablaze with the power of preaching.
- 18:23And that every politician, every wicked voice that would try to silence you,
- 18:28that that voice gets silence instead of you.
- 18:31And I'm telling you, this is a great time to be alive.
- 18:34There's a mighty God. He's the same God that healed the sick,
- 18:37that raised the dead, that cast out devils. He is the same God that when those
- 18:41idiots thought they had Paul in prison, him and Silas prayed and sang praises
- 18:46and the chains broke loose.
- 18:48He is the same God that when Peter was in prison, just taking a nap,
- 18:52that he's like, let's go get Peter.
- 18:54Send the angel. Go get him. He's not done. That is your God.
- 18:58And may the God of heaven bust out the prison doors to any fool who thinks he can arrest a man of God.
- 19:06I thank you, Lord, that today you're doing something great in their nation,
- 19:10great in their hearts, and that you are going to do a great.
- 19:31May the mighty strategies of heaven come into the vocal eyes and the mouths of people in Ireland.
- 19:41May they have strategies beyond their wisdom, beyond their schooling,
- 19:46and beyond. Oh, may they outsmart the courts in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
- 19:52And that goes for every listener.
- 19:54If you don't know what that was, it's called tongues, and it's in your Bible.
- 19:58If you're listening to me today and by some miracle, you don't know Jesus Christ, you can.
- 20:02The Bible says it's appointed once for man to die. And after that,
- 20:05the judgment, how do you get saved? You say, Father, I'm a sinner. Please forgive me.
- 20:10Jesus, come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. If you pray that simple
- 20:14prayer, I am telling you, my friend, your life can be changed. God can bless you.
- 20:19God can change you. And things can just be different for you.
- 20:22Amen. I love you so much. I don't want to keep you. Remember,
