praises the rocks would cry out we are not going to allow the rocks to take our praise today ((music playing)) y'all better take about 15 seconds and lift the lid off this tent today and serve the lord in his place it's time to worship jesus in this house we don't serve a dead two in a palestinian tomb we serve a risen save your church hallelujah he's alive do you believe it shout amen shout hallelujah whoa you may be seated all over the house thank you so much for being here and i tell you what a great crowd he even on a uh a vacation weekend you know we had so many of our regulars say oh pastor we're to be out of town but i knew that the lord has made us a destination church meaning by that that people are taking their trips just to be here by way of a destination wow we are honored by that how many had a good thanksgiving with your family amen had a good time all right how many had a thanksgiving politics came up you got kicked out of the house amen right there all right good about five of us amen wonder some of you are not getting invited back next year amen but uh we'll still take you here at global vision man we love you we thank god for you if you have not been paying a lot of attention to a couple of the new things that we have happening around here one of my favorite gatherings is now the what we call the 633 gathering every saturday night under this tent there are people crawling all over this part of the campus like ants and bring it a little bit and uh and they are just absolutely lifting up the lord lifting up this tent lifting up this campus lifting up the next service we have people we started it and it was just i just did it one night on a tuesday told nobody about it and then i said you know what this saturday night we're going to do it and so we did a couple saturday nights ago about 55 people showed up last night we had over 100 people show up people and so i really think they're going to get to a place that hundreds of people every saturday night at 6 33 cq first are going to be here under this tent man we had people at the pulpit people in the chairs people walking around kiddos running in the back playing while all the adults were praying and we had the bluetooth speaker going it was a beautiful time i highly encourage you to get involved in this it's not some required class it's not a normal small group and uh there's a lot a lot of normalcy about what we do around here right now amen and so every single saturday night at 6 33 i'm not sure what's happening with the sound here but it's it's wonky on me if you have to turn my monitors down just turn them down that's fine and we get these new speakers up here trying to get it all figured out so every single saturday night at 6 33 we're gonna have people all over this campus i think it's going to be one of the most beautiful things just kind of an impromptu opportunity it's not really fellowship and teaching time or anything like that but hey if god want to heal some folks and save some folks and things start happening on saturdays that'll be fine but it's indicative of what's happening here on sunday morning because we were just in our prayer meetings on wednesday night and wednesdays as my wife said it's been growing growing growing we've had to use the whole middle section of the tent on wednesday nights and things are happening here prayer meeting is going longer there used to be a time on wednesday night that we would start at seven o'clock sharp and end at eight o'clock dull and not a whole lot had happened and i mean we were in for one hour that was it and it's to the place now where i'm not even getting up to teach until like 805 and nobody's leaving it's beautiful to watch the lord is delivering some people we are watching some things happen on wednesday it's beautiful and so that was the spillover to the 633 gathering on saturday nights and so it's just been a beautiful beautiful thing to behold and just a beautiful thing to watch so i just want to make a little bit of a lengthy announcement to remind you about that and we'll even on saturday nights that i'm in a crusade or a meeting somewhere and i'm traveling to get back since i never miss on sunday still somebody will be here and we'll start right at 6 33 promptly every single saturday night and it's just a beautiful thing if you are here today i know we still got folks coming in by the way what about them high-tech redneck doors on this tent isn't that beautiful that nice i preaching a lot of tents i never preaching one that's got glass french doors isn't that beautiful wow that's the real deal right there that'll be that'll be on the news tomorrow but nonetheless i love it i love it i love it speaking of being on the news tomorrow let me say this yes i promised everybody that i would make this announcement because nobody thought it was real i don't know how it happened but i was able to get back on twitter that really is my account that i started yesterday and so i said that i would have to make a an actual announcement from the platform for our people on telegram that thought all my pages got hacked no it really is me i won't be there long i'm sure twitter will suspend me for something uh ridiculous and especially with this new ridiculous variant that's popped up and so the first time you say something about that i'm sure that they'll end up canning me but that really is uh my new twitter feed all right and so they uh there was probably about 500 people yesterday that already reported me to twitter safety and said oh this was supposed to be a lifetime ban we can't believe you still got this guy back on twitter he's heard our widow feelings so we're going to like send out skittles and plus unicorns to people that got their feelings hurt from me being back on twitter yesterday and so that's beautiful but anyhow i just had to make the announcement so everybody know it was literally me if you are here today and you are not from the great state of tennessee and you traveled here hitchhiked here rode a bicycle here flew here drove here somehow or another you got here this day for this service and you are not a tennessee resident i want you to stand all over this tip we want to see how many out-of-state individuals we have all over the building today wow look at that hallelujah that is beautiful to behold especially on on a thanksgiving weekend wow that is beautiful praise the lord thank you so much for being here we honor you for your presence and everybody in house by the way let's make our online community feel welcome welcome all them folks behind those cameras right there tens of thousands of them watching us right now on the global vision live stream across a number of platforms and so we praise the lord that each and every one of them are here today well i noticed our guys are getting ready for the offerings it'll be a few minutes before we get to the offering guys and so uh you you can be seated because the last couple of weeks the lord has allowed us to have some beautiful beautiful heroes of the faith with us and under the tent and uh last week i never would have thought you know last week that the lord would allow us a couple of years ago my wife and i have become good friends with bo duke right with john schneider but wasn't that a great gathering last week wow that was a super jesus rally when they sang about jesus and talked about jesus it was beautiful and and they're getting ready for the the big christmas what they call uh bozar right instead of bizarre the christmas bozar and uh so i'll i'll be there and i'll be speaking on december 11th at their big cowboy church gathering that's going to be beautiful but that was good and you know we've had a lot of different types of people here but i am super excited about our guest today he's got a trailer out there i know many of you went to check out the merch i highly highly encourage you at the end of the service that you go out there and and you support this man's ministry and what he's doing around the world and he'll be able to talk more to that even than i will i i've seen the movie i've read the stuff i've watched sermons and i remember one time we were on the homeless experience for the church when i took like 35 men downtown and we were homeless for a couple of days and i wanted them to experience what what utter invisibility actually looks like and i remember i went to a truck stop over there and i saw the one of the trailers a different trailer than he has now but a trailer machine gun preacher and i think somebody else is driving i was like oh wow i've always wanted to meet that guy i've heard about the movie and all that and so through the years we've been in a lot of the same places but we've never been able to connect never even shook hands until i met him this morning in the chili parking lot out there when they were setting up but when i watched the movie that i was moved with compassion i was moved with more courage and more boldness you know i happen to like to have friends that are courageous right i like a man to be a man right that's what i like that's why a lot of people like this church because your pastor's a man right and so when i saw him and i began to talk to other people about him and and he's been out to a number of my friends here at the dream center and matthew barnett and all these people like wow you need to have this guy at the tent you know this guy the 10. and so somehow another the lord just worked it out and i'm not going to steal his thunder and take away his testimony and all the lord has him doing and where he's brought him from but i'm telling you we literally have a guy here today that goes by the tagline machine gun preacher that's our kind of guy right there amen machine gun preacher so here's what we're going to do we're going to take a few minutes we're going to let him talk to us and tell us what the lord's doing ladies and gentlemen global vision get on your feet brother sam shooters come to the platform and talk to us about what the lord is doing in your ministry machine gun preacher praise god god is good hallelujah you all can be seated how many of you seen the movie machine gun preacher raise your hand okay the rest of you i know the pastor will have an altar call afterwards no i said to the pastor outside i said you know for over two decades i've been known as the most controversial pastor in the world then your pastor comes along now i'm thinking i was thinking all night long in the hotel room what do i got to do to get it back but anyways i want to just share a little bit about our ministry and then i'm going to just tell you a couple stories and then i'm done but hey everyone knows what happened the past two years corona has almost stopped kingdom building around the world there's only been a couple only a handful of crusades that have went on around the world because of corona it was shut down we have a crusade starting up december 17th 18th 19th in northern uganda if you want to be a part of it you can see us at the trailer afterwards you can get you a card on it it's a three-day crusade we're going in the first night they'll preach to around 12 o'clock at night and then afterwards they'll play the jesus movie all night long in three different languages the next morning we start up again they'll be preaching all day long but we're doing something that i love to do and i do it almost everywhere i go we feed the people so they're suspecting around 20 000 people at this crusade we're going to be feeding them on saturday then they'll go into preaching they have big pits i have a backhoe from our farm we're digging in big pits filling them with water we're going to do baptisms then they'll play the jesus movie saturday night sunday morning they get up we feed them again but we have a crusade i believe it's a most needed crusade getting ready to happen for some of you that don't know much about our ministry you know i uh i was known for the gun-toting preacher still am people say well don't aren't you pentecostal i said yeah that's why i don't dance too much my gun might fall out but i'm pentecostal but i was known as the gun-toting preacher because i went into south sudan nearly 27 years ago on a mission trip i went on that mission trip just thinking that i'd get god off my back but then i went in there and i got in the middle of a civil war some of you that seen the movie when i got in the middle of this civil war we were in a village that was raided and i was walking around the outsides of the village looking for children that may have been hiding may have been wounded and i come across a small child that stepped on a land mine the child may have been that high if he or she had legs i walked around that child and i said god how can this happen in the world and we don't hear about it we hear about every stupid thing out there every hollywood star that's having another affair we hear about we hear about every gossip on every president every governor whatever we hear all the stupid things that doesn't do anything for us but a small child that's innocent steps on a landmine we don't hear about i stood over that child and i walked around the body ((music playing)) and i said god i'll do whatever it takes to help these people see i didn't realize what i was saying that night but 27 years later i'm still in africa what i want to just tell you real quickly because i believe some of you here god has given you a vision but see the problem with you the same problem that's with a lot of american christians we set back and we want to wait till god puts it all on our lap we want to wait till all the money's in our hands before we step out with the vision that god gave us god is not a bank what god wants to do is see how serious you are i went back three months later into south sudan and i started at an orphanage with no money with a mosquito net hanging in a tree to this day it's one of the largest working orphanages in south sudan ((applause)) never was shut down the movie showed the rebels attacking the orphanage burning it to the ground not true they attacked the orphanage three times they could never penetrate through a bamboo fence there would be 200 sometimes 300 rebels would attack that orphanage and 10 and 15 men would fight them off with the power of jesus christ ((applause)) ((music playing)) that orphanage that orphanage went from one orphan each to now five orphanages we work in east africa uganda ethiopia and south sudan but see the problem with us as christians we do something and it works and we're more excited about somebody patting us on the back instead of making it bigger see i'd done something and it worked i wanted to do more and one day god said to me he said well if you're just going to build another orphanage why don't you stay home and i didn't understand what he was saying see if you're in a third world country and you're in an orphanage and you're 15 years old you have to leave more than 70 of those children end up in prostitution what did we do as christians we've done nothing we built another orphanage and children to get 15 16 years old and they're in prostitution we've done nothing so god spoke to me that i needed to start teaching skills and trades so i started a restaurant it went from one restaurant to a commercial farm i'm not going to tell you everything but just that commercial farm last year alone we gave away we filled our own storehouses on every project and we gave away over 90 ton of rice my wife just as we're speaking a couple weeks ago done our riced harvest we get two riced harvests per year the rice harvest that she just did one season was over 70 ton this time and we're getting ready to give it away our ministry is known for building schools if you want to change a nation it begins yes with jesus christ but also education we've built seven schools over the years we're building number eight school right now we've drilled more than 50 whales over the years we're big into drilling whales we have a project now going on called the bush kids project i challenge you to look into it the bush kids project if you google malaria in africa they say over 1500 children die per day now why didn't our government get excited about that i was in a church the other week and a guy raised his hand and he had his phone up and he said sir i just googled and it's not 1500 children it's 3 000 children per day die of malaria we shut the whole world down over corona but what about the children dying in africa of malaria only we have a mobile clinic this is me doing this today when you have an opportunity to help us out you're not giving money to something that i send people out to do these boots are the boots on the ground we go in with a blood lab we go in with doctors we go in with security and nurses and we save children on the bush kids project i'm going to end by saying this here something that i would say there's only a handful of you heard about suicide bombers in uganda raise your hand if you heard about it a week ago my wife calls me terrified you know i run a security company that's what i do in africa i'm a contractor as well as a preacher but i run a security company and my wife calls me and she says sam we have something awful happening she says a bomb just went off in town i'm going to give your pastor a video after work see most of you couldn't even watch the video i'm tired of americans saying they're persecuted i am tired of it we don't even know what persecution is islamic groups have already claimed it they done four suicide bombs in one day killing people laming people blowing the faces off of people so i'm going to leave you by this here i not only need your help okay i don't need your help to go on a mission trip i'm a missionary i live in africa i don't need your help to send me on a two or three week trip i need your help to save children i started this 27 years ago i'm 59 years old i'm starting to get old there's an another documentary they're filming in march there's a second movie they're getting ready to start filming corona shut it down but they're far they're filming part two machine gun preacher but i need your help because i'm not done our organization's not done there's children dying we're still saving children if you're out there and you're listening if you want to help us you can go to the real machine gun preacher we had somebody hack our site stole it from us for almost two years kevin the guy that's my booking agent got it back the real machine gun preacher or you can go to machinegunpreacher.org people say why why do you why did you get the name machine gun preacher what does a preacher need with a machine gun good for offerings i get big offerings when i say nick bring the machine guns out but you know the name machine gun preacher was only a marketing tool got some of you here today i don't know how i got the name because i normally carry a pistol and a shotgun but i want to say thank you for coming out thank you for listening to me remember this today there's children dying in east africa the only hope they have now i know some of you are going to say no no they have jesus yes they do but the only hope they really have is you i need your help god bless you i love you ((music playing)) amen wow praise the lord hallelujah thank you brother thank you you may be seated man he's hot and heavy on the road and getting ready to head back and this is just his his time of touring in churches and i i guarantee you he could get up here and tell stories and preach the gospel for hours and you know here's a man that's pastored people addicts come out of all that himself and the lord revolutionized him changed him how many of you in this room god has radically transformed your life would you put your hand up look at that look at that hundreds and hundreds of hands and this is a man that was radically transformed by the power of the gospel and the work of the holy spirit and now he has been able to reproduce that all over that region how in the world could we not support that we talk all the time save the children save the children sex trafficking save the chur we talk about all that right well let's help him save some children let's help him with this crusade that they've got coming up that's a lot of people to feed no matter how much rice you got in the storage barn right that's a lot of people to bless a lot of people to help and they they give so much of it away and we understand that because the one thing we do around here is we give more away than we keep for ourselves and then the lord just keeps blessing and keeps blessing and keep we give money away god gives us glass doors for the tent isn't that beautiful and so today i want you to be faithful i want you to give it's our our regular offering but we're going to give to the man of god we're going to sow into his ministry and so into what he's doing our folks online are so faithful to give so fervent to give globalvisionbc.com g-i-v-e-give we want you to help us right now and you just make a check out to global vision we'll make sure they get one check for expenses and check for everything they're going to need moving forward he still has some traveling to do some preaching to do and then he'll be heading back over and we want to make sure that we dig deep and we sacrifice and we give to the needs of the man of god and now and i'm always very up front with you and let you know look i'm not worried about how much gravel we got to pull in here this week okay i'm not worried about our campus i want to help them kids got to take care of our tent he'll take care of our gravel what about all that we ain't missed a meal we ain't missed a paycheck god's good to us and so when when you have need well you do you you sow seed and you just scatter it out there and you watch god bless and so i'm not the least bit worried about anything that we have to do at our campus this week i'm concerned that we give to the ministry of the man of god and we bless him amen and marketing tool or no marketing tool that's a cool name praise god i like that machine gun preacher and so we want to bless him and so let's pray for this offering and then let's be released in a spirit of generosity we'll worship a little bit more and get back into the word father thank you for brother sam thank you for his family we pray for his wife even now that you continue to protect her we pray for his team we pray for all of the the workers both paid and volunteer alike lord everybody that has surrounded this man of god to help him bring to fruition the vision that the holy spirit has placed upon his life 27 years now doing this lord and i pray you'd give them 27 more i pray to reach more people and save more children and bring more people to the body of christ protect them overshadow them lord i pray this documentary and this second movie would get a release and lord that you just bring in all of the necessary available funds for the kingdom work that this man of god and his family and those that are with him are doing give him safety as he travels to and fro even here in the states before he goes back bless this crusade that's coming up may it be the biggest most well attended most over the top number of conversions they've ever seen in the history of the ministry that you have entrusted with him he's been a good steward he's been a good steward and i pray the glory of god would rise upon this ministry like never before and lord the latter end will be greater than the beginning and god today we would give we would sow into this ministry into your kingdom work both in-house and online release us in a spirit of giving a spirit of sacrifice and father we thank you for all that you've done we thank you for all that you will do and we ask right now lord that when we walk out from under this tent we will know of a certain fact that you have allowed us to shake hands with hug next with brush shoulders with men and women of god that are heroes of the faith that are doing things around this world that the media is not covering but god's keeping good records in heaven and we pray for an abundant offering today to bless this man of god bless our worship in the mighty name of jesus we ask these things and all of god's people said god bless you as you give ((music playing)) i

playing)) hallelujah you may return to your seats glory to god there's still power in the name of the lord jesus amen devils still tremble hell still shakes salvation still happens healings still happen miracle signs and wonders in the powerful name of the lord jesus christ hallelujah hallelujah well i want to invite you to an unusual spot for just a few moments and i i pray in my heart and in my spirit and in my delivery that i can do justice somewhat to the narrative at hand and the text that i feel like the spirit of god wants me to deal with for a few moments and i realize that much of what i'm going to say is going to begin by way of interpretation and flow into our application what good is the bible if we understand it but we don't know how to apply it to our life amen the bible is a living book it's a powerful book it's more up to date than the newspaper headlines that are rolled out of nashville tennessee tomorrow morning revelation 22 may be over with but you better know something the ink is still wet and the prophecy is still true and titus 1 2 says god cannot lie he cannot lie and so i i pray that today you will understand with me that there is some some difficulty that will arise in the narrative that i want to read but it's on my heart so heavy the last few days that i just can't get away from it and i pray god will get glory and honor from everything that is said both in-house and online so revelation the 11th chapter is where we're going to be for just the next few moments an unusual place to be especially on a on a sunday morning we would normally reserve something like this for a longer opportunity on wednesday night to study verse by verse and line by line but if i'm going to be a holy spirit-led preacher then i have to obey the holy spirit when he tells me to talk about a certain text and deal with a certain subject and so we're going to pray and then we're going to go into reading the text father i want to say thank you for the privilege that we've already had to hear a glorious testimony a glorious story of life redemption transformation not just in brother sam's life but in the lives of the thousands tens of thousands that he has interacted with and been able to see and give the message of jesus to thank you for the beautiful spirit here today of people that just want to worship just want to give just want to pray lord there are people here today that no doubt have heavy burdens heavy heavy burdens things that lord they've wept about for hours weeks days months perhaps years and decades i pray today that you would ease the mind the heart and the load of that person that is carrying that burden today may they roll it off onto the arms of the lord jesus christ the lord we know the enemy's going to fight we know the enemy is going to distract we know he's going to do everything in his diabolical bag of magic tricks to keep us from listening to the truth of the word of god but i pray that you would overshadow us protect our hearts our minds our eyes may we focus by faith on the power of this book that we call the bible and lord when we leave i pray that we will refuse to be the same individuals we were when we walked in a few moments ago so gather glory unto yourself and lord we claim the promise of romans 1 16 that it is the gospel nothing else but the gospel that is the power of god unto salvation have your will and way in the mighty name of jesus and all of god's people said revelation chapter 11 as we've been doing here as of late on sunday morning i would invite you to stand out of reverence for the reading of god's word i'm going to read the entirety of the text that i'm going to preach on this morning and then after i read it you can be seated and we'll go into as much opportunity as we can to explain the bible revelation 3 and verse 11 and i will give power unto my two witnesses and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and three score days clothed in sackcloth these are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the god of the earth and if any man will hurt them fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devour their enemies and if any man will hurt them he must in this manner be killed verse six these have power to shut heaven that it rain not in the days of their prophecy they have power over waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with all plagues as often as they will and when they shall have finished their testimony the beast that ascended out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them and their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called sodom and egypt where also our lord was crucified and they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and in half and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves and they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry and shall send gifts one to another because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth and after three days and a half the spirit of life from god entered into them and they stood upon their feet and great fear fell upon them which saw them and they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them come up hither and they ascended up to heaven in a cloud and their enemies beheld them thank you for standing you may be seated oftentimes when we approach the 22 action-packed chapters of the narrative of the book of the revelation we can get a little bit dauntingly afraid and rightly so it's the only full prophetic book in the bible that when you read it sometimes you think yourself what does god mean is he being specific is he being general is he speaking allegorically what is god actually talking about but i must remind you that when you approach this book it is the one and only book of the 66 in the bible of the 31 101 various verses throughout the context of scripture of the 1189 chapters of the 791 328 words in the bible it is the only book that promises a blessing to those that read pay attention and heed the prophecies that are contained therein now again titus 1 2 says god cannot lie so we know from genesis to revelation all the bible brings blessing we know that we should be like a tree planted by the rivers of water we get that we know that it's a sharp two-edged sword we know that the bible gives us discernment and power we get that we know that it's a great hammer that breaks the rock in pieces we know jeremiah 23 says but his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones and i was weary with four bearing we get the analogy of what the bible is but only revelation is a book of the bible that promises if you read it if you heed it i'll bless your socks off it's the only book in the bible that god gives that authority to his children and so when we read it sometimes we think to ourself wow there's so much symbolism in this book and you are correct there is of which i do not have time to detail now i also want to remind you that much of what is transpiring when we read the book of revelation is futuristic it's prophetic it has not happened as of yet but do not be dismayed or discouraged because if god said it's going to happen you mark her down it is going to happen but here's the interesting thing that's transpiring before our very eyes the bible is popping off the page and the body of christ is missing it we are missing what god is doing in this nation and around the world we are missing it because it's not showing up the way that we had anticipated showing up we thought revival was coming out of a billy graham crusade we thought revival was going to come out of a wednesday night prayer meeting we thought revival would come out of a sunday school convention but in actuality revival came through the last 20 months of craziness around the world and now we know who the remnant is that is beginning to rise out of the ashes of nonsense now we know and by the way they know who can be controlled and who's going to be a problem moving forward and so when we read the book of revelation i must be honest i'm not discouraged one bit i'm encouraged that the bible has been true the entirety of the time let god be true and every man a liar and so when you read about the apostle paul and peter and james and john and all the disciples and all of the eyewitness apostles to the resurrection of jesus here's what you will understand definitively about their writings they wished to live in the day that we live in right now ((music playing)) paul would have loved to be around in this day watching what we watch on the news watching what twitter and instagram and facebook and tick tock is putting out and they would say church pay attention lift up your head for your redemption draws now make hay while the sun shines you have to work while it's yet day because the night comes when no man can work and we sit around oh bother ((music playing)) everything's bad everything's doom and gloom you better know god is still on the throne ladies and gentlemen he has not abdicated his authority or his power nobody's gonna veto him he's not going to resign he's not going to have to pay the streets of gold with asphalt i'm telling you god is on the throne he is still king of kings he is still lord of lords he is still the lion of the tribe of judah and you better know in the end god will be vindicated and his glory will rise upon the nations there is no doubt about that his glory will rise upon the nations give me a little bit of these monitors up here guys i don't have to overwork myself i feel it coming on praise god but when you get to revelation chapter 11 you have an unusual transition that is taking place you have two unnamed witnesses i really did go to cemetery i mean seminary and when i went there i bet i've heard a hundred sermons and declarations on who the two witnesses are and i still don't know and neither do you it doesn't matter they say well it's elijah it's my i don't care who it is if god's taking names i'm signing up i'll tell you that right now ((applause)) me an old machine gun preacher caused some fire down from heaven amen but at the end of the day whoever they are doesn't matter the application is still true that what these men are going to find then is the ground swellings of what we are finding out now and that is simply this truth is at war with the culture did you hear me church the truth of the bible is at war with the culture people say oh my goodness what are you going to do about cancer culture if you don't bow to the culture they can't cancel you know how the culture is not by barometer i'm not worried about what the republicans think or the democrats think they are two heads of the same snake you see my loyalty is not to a party my loyalty is to the kingdom of jesus christ that's where my loyalty lies so all of a sudden in the very middle of what we would consider prophetically and theologically the tribulation period these two men show up and god shows out in their life in an unbelievable way and it makes people so angry that when they die in the middle of the culture war the people send gifts one to another they're like whoa ding dong the witch is dead they were excited that the men of god had been removed because they were a barrier to what they call their progress and these men were literally thundering out the truth of the gospel performing miracles signs and wonders i get the understanding that they are a specific group of individuals they had special power this will be a special time this will be a special season for 1260 days almost three and a half years they thunder out the message and everybody hates them but here's what you find that when god resurrects them in front of everyone did you ever read that when you were a kid or see one of them crazy scary left behind movies and think yourself how is everybody in the world going to see their dead bodies laying in the streets social media that's how there's gonna be hashtag they are dead whoa it's gonna be everywhere it's gonna be all over facebook they'll have the dead preachers laying in the street right well we can't say anything about a stolen election but let dead preachers land the street and the whole world's going to see it cnn's going to talk about it fox's going to talk about it newsmax going to talk everybody's going to say look at these two preachers they were such troublemakers they deserved what was coming to them and god's gonna put breath in and resurrect them and the bible says call them up to heaven so all their enemies can behold the blessings of god in their life because i'm gonna tell you something my bible says that god almighty will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies everybody shooting bullets at you everybody hates you everybody on facebook wanted to unfringe you everybody mad about this and mad about that we can't believe you go to that church we can't believe you're part of that kool-aid drinking haley bop comic greg lock freak show of a cult right you all get that some people think you've lost your mind for showing up at this circus tent but we got doors we modern praise god we all right up in here but here's what's gonna happen everybody that's laughed at you everybody that's chided you everybody that's derided you everybody that won't invite you back to turkey dinner next year everybody that said you are fall down the steps crazy everybody that said your jesus is a fake and there's no such thing as miracles and you've lost your mind and you're nothing but a jesus freak let me tell you what god's gonna do he's gonna make a table let you sit down and eat and make them watch you eat on the blessings of god because you hear me greater is he that is in you that he that is in the world if god be for us who can be against us and god's coming back for a spotless bride not a trashy hooker a spotless bride and so you see that these men are going to be brought forth in the midst of days of real persecution the man of god was right we cry foul oh we're under so much persecution we don't know what persecution is yet i remember i watched the video i think i shared this with you a couple of wednesdays ago in bible study but i watched a video just a few weeks ago it was five years ago to the date and five years ago i said in the in my van looking into a camera you give it five years and we'll find out who loves the church in america and here we are with churches still closed with people still buying in to the nonsense with pastors still angry at churches like us and pastors like me because we've shamed them because of our overtness and because of their silence and we are living in days that people have become so sheepish so gullible so delusional that they would rather believe something that makes them feel safe than believe the truth because if you believe a delusion you are not safe you are deceived so i just want to say a couple of things before i get into the text okay i know we've been shying away from some stuff here as of late but we got some stuff in the news that needs to be talked about because the bible is predictably prophetically practical for where we live right now the news had a meltdown months and months ago under that red and white circus tent when i said the delta variant was and i quote nonsense they went crazy but guess what we survived it but now we have omicron if you rearrange the letters you can spell moronic which is what you are if you believe this nonsense ((applause)) don't fall for this bull crap ((applause)) i didn't fall for it the first time i ain't falling for it the second time i sure ain't gonna fall for it the third time quit being so gullible ((applause)) you you do realize that this week jizzling maxwell's trial begins right those bunch of demon possessed sex trafficking pedophiles do not want you to know what's happening they want to divert the attention they want the news to be about the new variant the new variant the new fair the variant is those people are wicked and need to get saved by the grace of god that's what the varian is ladies and gentlemen that's the variant omicron my hind leg stop believing nonsense if you enjoy believing nonsense you will not last a 30 minute message in this church because i'm not giving into their mess i'm not playing their democrat games i don't need their money i don't care about their support and their threats do not threaten me one single iota and i ain't got a machine gun ((applause)) so i'm just getting a few things out of the way so you can know who we are right there's a lot of visitors here this to get to know you sunday but we know each other now but you think i'm bold you think he's bold you think we're both these two witnesses breathe fire and everybody's like well you know what you need to do is just comply because if you go against it then you are not being what jesus called a peace loving peacemaking individual these guys started a war with the beast system and the culture hated them if the culture loves you and strokes you we probably can't sit down and chit chat over starbucks coffee anytime soon we're just not going to see things i'll reach lost people i love crazy people i don't care if you're a heroin addict you can snort stuff sleep with who you want to and do all kind of crazy buck wild stuff right i'll help you i'll give you the gospel but if you are willingly ignorantly deceived by the wicked nonsense that is going on i promise you you and i are not going to see eye to eye and me being on your podcast is probably not a good idea this week because i'm done playing their games and that's why they're angry but these guys breathe fire these guys cause plagues to hit humanity and everybody's like oh my goodness y'all are just so abrasive y'all are so demonstrative you're just a little bit too bold somebody said the other day why can't you just take it down a few notches because i ain't even started taking it up yet ((applause)) so anyhow let's just get into the text you're halfway into the tribulation period things are happening literally all hell broke loose and god said i'm gonna fix something i will give power unto my two witnesses now look at me why is that so important because every single preacher in the bible that had power from god stood against the evil of the culture of their day every one of them i mean moses took a hickory stick walked right up into pharaoh's court and said you let my people go right now you let my people go you know good and well that these people have become slaves and you have built egypt on the backs of the you let them go right now and o pharaoh said who is the lord that i should obey your voice he said let me show you bam and ten plagues fell upon the egyptians and god even killed the firstborn because you don't mess with the holiness of god you just don't you have elijah he walked right into the throne room walked right into the throne room of ahab and jezebel the clintons of the old testament ((applause)) walked right into the throne room stuck his finger right in the king's face and said oh no country beaufrier you're the man you're the problem you're the reason we're in this mess you and your fathers have forsaken god and followed balaam and yet we want to say well you know you preachers you all just need to sit on a stool and be cool by stuff y'all just need to y'all just need to take it y'all just need to be like okay it's all good no problems we'll get through this one day we'll get back to normal no we're never going back to normal from this this is the beginning of sorrows matthew chapter 24. this is the beginning of what happens and if it's happening now can you imagine what it's gonna look like in the next five eight or ten years which i don't think we have eight or ten years if we don't buck up and do something about it right now if we don't get some some holy boldness and some gospel gumption about us somebody said this morning oh pastor like them pinstripes i said my wife bought this online had it shipped him got it yesterday it's all good they said wow i like him pinstripes i said well i felt like being a gospel gangster today amen we better get some gospel gangsters we gotta better get some people that are tired of being bullied and pushed into a corner of silence by crazy wicked demonic people now i've been shine away from this stuff for a while now so i just got to get a few things out of my heart i'm tired tired tired of people telling us we need to tone it down these men fought the beast system and by the way they fought the beast system by the power of god they didn't give in to it now i'm not saying that the antichrist is alive and well right now and taking power okay somebody says joe biden the antichrist no but he missed a great opportunity there is no doubt about that but i am saying that the days are being set that the platform is being made ready that the stage is being set up the curtain is being drawn and we are being led as sheep to the slaughter because nobody wants to say anything about it everybody thought noah was crazy till it started raining we talked about that this past wednesday night paul said i cease not for the space of three years to warn you night and day with tears warn you warn you warn you ding ding ding ding ding ding the bridge is out the bridge is house slow down take a detour and we are crazy queuing on conspiracy theorists because we're ding ding ding ding let people know the bridge is out you better take a detour so god raised these men up they had the power of god this wasn't the power of the devil this wasn't the power of education they had the power of god and they shall prophesy say prophesy that's a good word a thousand two hundred and three score days twelve and 1260 days clothed in sackcloth now when we read that or when we see one of the left behind movies or a little caricature or flannel graph about this you know we automatically think that but you have to recognize the fact that when john saw futuristically prophetically into something he never understood he would have not known what to call it and so in the old testament people would wear sackcloth as a sign of humility as a sign of repentance nationally so what he's saying is these guys are not going to be spectacular they're not going to look like they walked off a front cover of a gq magazine that's right they're going to show up they're going to be rough they're not going to be all super duper greatly educated and say all the phd phrases they probably have some ink on their arms and we're gonna look at these people and be like what these are the people that god is going to use as the unnamed witnesses to prophesy judgment to the entirety of the world yeah because god uses the weak things of the world to confound the mighty and the poor things of the world to confound the rich god always uses the person that you threw out of the ring and thought well they'll never make it god always uses the underdog so at the end of the day he gets the glory you don't i don't get the glory he gets the glory for what he's doing in this place and so the bible says for 1260 days these guys prophesy they preach clothes in sackcloth but then watch this verse four these are the two olive trees he's going to refer back to a prophetic statement that was made about joshua in the book of zechariah but he says these the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the god of the earth i was reading that the other day and it's interesting while i was reading him a little outline began to emerge in my heart began to emerge in my mind it says these are the two olive trees why it's a picture of their fruit their fruitful men of god they have results in the ministry because the gospel draws people to jesus jesus said in red letters not greg letters read letters if i be lifted up i will draw all men unto me there is no magic sauce in this tent just talk about jesus and people will show up to hear about jesus and these olive trees these men were a picture of fruitfulness in the ministry fruitfulness in the way that they preach because when you preach the gospel one of two things will happen people will get saved or people will get mad and that's truth john wesley told his preacher boys if you preach and nobody gets saved or nobody gets mad you're probably not called i am not called to win friends influence people and make you like me and have me over for dinner and cocktails i am called to stand on the principles of the word of god to suit up and boot up put on the whole armor of god and i am called to stand having done all to stand regardless of how many friends or enemies i make in the process that's what we're called to do and people are like well that just seems a little abrasive that's fine you do it your way we'll do it our way and we'll see what happens at the end of all of it but these guys were super abrasive absolutely no we don't have to be dictators and jerk for jesus but i think we're so afraid to offend anybody that we're willing to be friends with everybody and offend god and i promise you i will hurt your feelings before i ever offend the power of the holy ghost of god in my life i will quench your friendship before i quench the spirit say amen in his church we better get there we better get there and they're the two olive trees the fruit and the two candlesticks that shows their fire and by the way they called down fire from god like elijah how long haunt you between two opinions you make one i'll make one and the god that sins by fire let them be god and the people said it is well spoken and we better get some fire about us because by the way without the fire you don't see the fruit and these men stood as two candlesticks which give light a city that is suddenly healed cannot be hid let your light so therefore shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven and the candlesticks were a part of the warmth where part of the fire was a part of the light and these men were light and will be a light in the midst of cultural wickedness cultural persecution to the church which is already begun we're in the formative days we're in the formative days and we watch things happen over in australia we watch things happen with our dear friend pastor arthur pulaski up in canada we watch things happen around the world we listen to those stories of people having her face blown off in uganda and sudan and we think well it's not coming here it's coming here ladies and gentlemen it's coming here we're warning it's coming here it is here and we better pay attention this was a picture of their fire and the light that they had but then notice what they did he says these are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing standing before the god of the earth this shows their faithfulness you see they stood before god not before men there was a time that i would have never been able to preach as demonstratively and courageously as i do now simply for the fact that number one it wasn't time for that but number two i wanted people's approval too much i wanted the denominational hierarchy to like me and invite me back for next year's pastoral meeting but i'm not worried about their pastoral meetings you know it's a beautiful thing i know you feel this way man of god it's a beautiful thing when you get to a place where the only thing you need is god's approval in life you become an extraordinarily dangerous individual at that point because you don't have to have their thumbs up or their thumbs down because neither one of them give you affirmation or dis affirmation you don't have to have their money you don't need their blue check marks they can take you off twitter off facebook off anything they want to they can say what they will cnn can say what they will and they can do anything that they jolly will please and at the end of the day the most dangerous person under this tent the most dangerous person watching online is somebody that only fears god fear not him that is able to destroy your body but fear him the table to destroy both body and soul inhale and some of you better fear god and quit fearing what other people think about you the disease to please will choke the life of spirituality out of you and they stood before the god of the earth it was a picture of their faithfulness and jesus said when i come again will there be any faithfulness in the earth and i pray that we will be some of those faithful people there's a lot of people preaching the gospel standing for what's right i say a lot there really is a remnant that is rising people hate that phrase what do you mean there's a remnant god even calls it all throughout the bible a remnant of people it's never the majority it's never the multitudes it's always the remnant that rises and by the way when things begin to happen that thins out the pack and thins out the herd and thins out the crowd you find out who the remnant is they begin to rise to the occasion because some of you were born for such a time as this for such a time as this our friend sean floyd with let us worship he's been here sean reaches out to me at random times and we'll text back and forth he's got something hot going on and of course he's not the individual that you would ever pick out of a lineup that god wanted to use of people that was going to change the world as far as worship music is concerned and be such a such a massive battering ram for the gospel to keep the churches open he had no idea a couple of weeks ago maybe a week and a half ago now i was i was going through just kind of a you know licking your wounds type of situation had been a bad media day had been a bad media a few days week or so and they were saying all matter of nonsense about our church and just how jim jones we are and all of that and i'll never forget just just out of the blue and it's never out of the blue because god knows when you need what you need sean sent me a text and it popped up and it said sir comma you were born for this keep fighting you were born for this and so their faithfulness brought about great fire and fruitfulness but notice verse five and if any man will hurt them i get it these are special class of men we have the protective power of god i get that these men are protected in a supernatural way that we can't even imagine i get that if any man will hurt them fire proceeds out of their mouth and devour their enemies and i do have to say by way of uh just selfishness oh to have that power one day in my life praise be to god i'm not claiming i've got it i'm just saying these guys opened their mouth and fire came out and devoured their enemies right before them which by the way vengeance is mine say the lord i will repay i do not have to bring them low god will bring them low because no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every critical wicked tongue that rises up against you god will yank it out and throw that thing to the floor god's got you you do not have to defend yourself god is a great defense eternity he's a great defense attorney and so he said fire comes out if any man hurts him he must the one that hurts them in this manner be killed verse six these have powers say those two words have power say it again have power this is power from god which means god is going to vindicate what's going to happen as a production of the powers that make sense if god gave them the ability then what they do with the ability is sanctioned by god no matter what some limp-wristed mealy-mouthed skinny jean-wearing preacher tells you these men had power to make war with the culture and the beast system they had power from god to shut up heaven that it reigned not in the days of their prophecy i don't claim me or anybody else in this tent or anybody watching has that kind of power if god wants to give it to us we'll take it but these men have a select number of days that they prophesy and they preach and they have power over waters to turn them into blood that's why many people think this is elijah and moses because of these similarities in the miracles whoever they are they some bad dudes and to smite the earth with all plagues as often as they will you mean to tell me that these guys are going to bring judgment yep that's just so mean that's just so unchrist-like jesus gave them the power to do it because here's the theme of the bible that you should never forget from one part of the book all the way through the book to the end of the book all the way to the maps from the introduction to the maps here's the theme of the bible judgment may be delayed but judgment will come judgment may be delayed but judgment will come and these men pronounce judgment on the culture that it turned from the power of the gospel verse 7 and when they shall have finished their testimony so they had a specific time a specific message the beast that ascended up out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them why make war against people that aren't causing trouble oh they were causing trouble they had a spirit of disruption about them now i can't help myself i've reached the pinnacle in my life at 45 that i have a spirit of disruption when i don't even mean to disrupt things all i have to do is take an extra sip of coffee and my wife says i wake up and step into controversial nonsense i don't even mean to it ain't like i call brother sam every day and be like hey let's figure out what we can do today to get in some trouble for the gospel it just happens some of us are just destined to walk into it we're just sovereignly created by god to walk right up in the mess and not even smell it while we're walking in it i mean we're like pot stirs right and so these guys are stirring the pot and the beast the antichrist that runs the system of the world that is on earth today and being set up before our very eyes the beast rises up and says these guys are an obstruction to progress these guys do not go along with the narrative these guys do not believe what we tell them to believe therefore we're going to make them believe we're going to do everything in our diabolical power to make sure that we remain in control of the narrative and if you do not see that's exactly what is rolled out right now in this nation and around the world then you are purposely not paying attention they're controlling the story they're controlling the narrative and so when you break ranks and you go against the narrative you are public enemy number one you become an enemy but you do not become an enemy of god you become an enemy of those that hate god you become an enemy of those that want to destroy everything good and godly and righteous and i'm telling you right now there are people that are so consumed and concerned with what is about to be revealed this week that they are doing all they can by way of the shell game and sleight of hand to divert your attention away from the fact that politically from the top down this country has become so godless so demonic so adulterous so immoral so wicked so full and free of godlessness that they want to divert your attention away from what is really happening because if you knew what was really happening you would be outraged right now you'd be outraged ((applause)) you some of you are like oh man i brought a visitor today ((music playing)) if you knew what was really happening behind the scenes you'd be like to your visitor hey did you hear that wow this is good but you're like oh my goodness what time is it oh my didn't he just let sam preach you know tell him what he'd have said he's trying to beat this controversy stuff baby he's been back at it but i'm telling you if we really knew what they're trying to keep us from seeing it would shell shock us i woke up i'll get back to this i woke up the other morning two mornings ago and uh we're we're pretty early risers and i like to get on my mountain bike and get out in the woods but i woke up and i was gonna go ride and the lord said no you're not go make some coffee sit in the living room and read about eli i was like what he said read about eli the priest you know god talked to you that way if you listen to him he'll tell you what to read he'll tell you how much creamer put your coffee i'm telling you you just talk to the lord like you talk to your best friend he should be your best friend seem like well that's odd to me you ought to read a bible ((music playing)) so i woke up the lord just dropped my spirit said i want you go read about eli so i went and i started reading about eli we talked about a couple weeks ago kind of inadvertently he just happened to be in the text we talked about samuel and his calling and all of that and you know we've had people said oh we could see the shift whenever it happened you know and you started talking in a different way and so i was like man it's been years since i've really like studied eli eli was a pretty good dude when he started out but he let his sons hopny and phineas act crazy and bring hookers into the house of god and they adulterated the temple of god they prostituted the pulpit they became high pimps instead of high priests and god said i'm going to kill them boys but he also said i'm going to judge eli and every generation after him because he refuses to do what needs to be done but do you know why he refused because the bible says twice that his eyes grew dim as i was sitting there drinking that coffee reading that the lord said that is where we are with the leadership in the american church eyes have become dim we don't even see what's going on around us because we choose not to see he knew what they were doing but his eyes were dim and the bible said that he got old and heavy now i ain't got to tell a fat joke but if god says you heavy you big i mean if god has to go out his way to say that person heavy you own 600 pound life heavy you big and god said this heavy set man whose eyes were going to the prophet sat on a wall and god said the glory is departed and he fell over backwards and broke his neck and i'm telling you thus saith god the leaders whose eyes have grown dim and have grown fat on their cowardly ways that sit on the wall god is going to tip them off the wall they shall fall over backwards and publicly they are going to be exposed for the lion devils that they are i promise you that is the fact open your eyes church open your eyes church open your eyes church open your eyes church these witnesses were willing to stand against the beast system and you better stand against the beast system it's being set up right now away with this nonsense away with giving into this foolishness it'll never go away there'll always be another variant there'll always be another problem but what about the 3 000 children that die every day in africa malaria and nobody is standing up for them ((applause)) we bout to lose the whole platform on facebook if i keep on stop believing all these numbers inflated evil and wicked nonsense all these people are not dying of what they're telling you they're dying of the hospitals of america are the death camps of east germany the worst place to go today is a hospital when you are sick they are killing people for money on purpose and you know i'm telling you the facts i don't give two flips with a nickel what nancy pelosi thinks about it fbi my hind leg you know exactly where my address is you bunch of cowards i ain't scared of your stupid hit list call me a top 40 terrorist i ain't afraid of their mess ((applause)) these doctors and nurses are killing people and blaming us it's him unmasked people it's him unvaccinated people now i know what we're running the risk of today when they can us you just go to globalvisionbc.com we'll keep the live stream up i ain't playing with these bunch of demons i don't care what right wing watch thinks cnn can say anything they want to you got the wrong one if you think i'm gonna bow down to this wicked evil nonsense i ain't playing their games i'll preach all day long and miss the chinese buffet if i have to i'm telling you the eyes of the preachers have grown dim god's gonna knock them off a wall every last one of them ((music playing)) so knock them all backwards they're all gonna have their necks broken publicly publicly i'm making war with the beast system ((applause)) i'm making war with the beast system but anyhow shall overcome them and kill them i got to keep rolling so these guys gonna die we keep it up some of us might too but there's one thing worth dying for and that's truth i'm going to leave something for my kids ((applause)) now i'm going to leave something for the church even at the end of cnn at least the last thing they did they were at least honest about it and they let me say my kids know i'll fight even to the death if i've got to go bear hunting with a switch i'll fight a bus saw bare handed to make sure truth comes out of this pulpit we turning this thing over to a bunch of fat cat eli's whose eyes are dim and won't tell you what the truth is i won't tell what the truth is i'm making war against the beast system republicans or democrats i'll make trouble for all of them and their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called sodom and egypt come by jerusalem where also our lord was crucified and they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves they want everybody to see it they do not even want to bury them don't even want to give them a funeral they want everybody to see oh look what the beast has done to the people that have turned against him well lottie da da beasty verse 10 and they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice say rejoice over them because they're dead and they gonna make merry man they gonna get drunk they're gonna fornicate they're gonna jump around and put it all over twitter and tick tock do some dances have some hashtags they're gonna send gifts one to another oh amazon gonna make all kind of money they're gonna send gifts in regards to the two dead preachers that for 1260 days got on our nerves on facebook live i don't know what these guys are going to be doing what they're going to be saying but you can imagine with an iphone in their hand how dangerous they would have been hey guys two witnesses here zuckerberg freaked out when these boys show up oh jack dorsey not gonna know what to do on twitter when these boys show up these people gonna be sending gifts one to another because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth now wait a minute they they they did what they tormented them why because they preached the truth they were like well you know did it believe it we just need to be calm in these days because eventually the lord's just going to swoop in save us from all the persecution we'll never have any more problems utopian pie in the sky that sounds more like bernie sanders than it does the king james bible doesn't we will be delivered from the wrath of god but we will not be delivered from the wrath of man persecution is coming he's warned us persecution's coming in ways that we could never imagine it's going to make australia and uganda and canada look like child's play if we do not rise up and say enough as enough of this wicked evil nonsense we're the last bastion of freedom in capitalism and they know it and they know it and these men made havoc and torment of the people that dwell on the earth why because they were jerks because they preached because they told the truth when nobody else would and after three days and a half the spirit that's capital s of life from god entered into them and they stood upon their feet great fear fell upon them which saw them oh yes indeed that's going to be a beautiful beautiful live coverage on the news right there and they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them come up hither and they ascended up to heaven you say well you know you're foolish to believe that oh no buckle this the bible you're foolish not to believe it he saw it as if it's already happened and they ascended up into heaven in a cloud and their enemies i love that beheld them all them people that laughed all them people that scoffed all them people that mocked all them people that censored them all them people that arrested them beat them killed them malign them everybody that came against them with a judgmental critical disparaging discouraging tongue all of them be hailed as god let them ascend to glory power honor and victory and reward in front of the people that hated them the most and they ascended up into the presence of god and their enemies beheld them and all i want to say next as we get ready to close we didn't read it in the text but watch what happens simultaneously verse 13 and the same hour there was a great earthquake and the tenth part of the city fell and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand and the remnant were affrighted and gave glory to the god of heaven they preached for 1260 days the culture hated them the king hated them everybody the false prophets hated them the eli's of their days hated them but god honored them god gave us half a chapter about them we don't know anything about their critics he calls the guy that owns the world at this time the beast and yet only gives a little bit of credence to him gives half a chapter to the two guys that fought against the beast and when the beast killed them god said oh not so dear neighbor and resurrects them after three and a half days so that all the enemies see them go up into heaven and the same hour say hour same hour god started shaking things and i'm telling you god's beginning to shake some stuff he's beginning to shake out the cowards he's beginning to shake out the stingy he's beginning to shake out the scribes and the sadducees and the pharisees and the people that have been baptized in a religious spirit that don't love jesus or the gospel he's shaking out the jezebels he's shaking out the eli's the hospitalities and the finish he's shaking them out he's shaking out the diotrophies of first john that seeketh to have the preeminence among them he's shaken out the proud and the arrogant and those that are not willing to stand for the truth and i find it interesting that the moment these guys were resurrected and ascended up into heaven the same hour god started shaking the earth because i'll tell you something when a nation refuses to listen to prophetic truth there is no other remedy but the judgment of god ((music playing)) there is no other remedy for a people that will not repent and believe the truth of the gospel and when they ascended god said let me roll up my sleeves and get busy for a minute and i'm telling you i know the interpretation i'm well aware of the application i'm aware of the hate i'm aware of the danger i'm aware of the prospect that a message like this throws us into a whole new arena and level but i'm also aware of the fact that prophetically we're on the right side so no matter how much they hate us or try to cancel us or try to stop us or try to kill us or try to silence us prophetically there is nothing they can do to us or against us because this nation is not going to be rescued politically it's going to be rescued prophetically we don't have a political issue we got a prophetic issue but i've read the bible and i know what it says prophecy wins truth wins jesus wins the gospel wins ladies and gentlemen and if you are on that side get on your feet this morning let a mighty roar and shout come out of your lungs for jesus christ hallelujah church it's time to stand ((applause)) i love when the lord moves it i i was sitting down there and the lord took me to the book of ezekiel while he was preaching before he even started saying it you know god told ezekiel he said son of man prophesy to the shepherds of israel he said woe be unto the shepherds that have fed themselves and not their flocks and we're living in a time that yeah you may lose friends you may lose family you may lose your job you may lose a lot of things but you know one thing they cannot ever take from the bride of christ her groom they can't take our truth they can't take our foundation they can't take the rock on which we stand so i don't know about you i know he's my husband but he's also my pastor he's my shepherd and not just from this pulpit but in my home every single day when i tell you that i thank god every single day that i have a shepherd that will speak the truth to me in love even when it's hard even when it's hard he really does drink coffee and just step into controversy by accident and we just brace ourselves every single day because we never know what the day will hold but one thing i always know the day will hold that my husband is a man of honor and that my husband is a man of truth and that my husband will literally fight to the death for the church for the bride of christ that he would come out like paul in the book of corinthians and he would remind us that we are unified in christ jesus our firm foundation christ the cornerstone the one that brings the body of christ together and so today i'm most thankful that i have a shepherd that will speak the truth amen let's pray church father lord we come into your throne room right now god lord and we thank you father we thank you for the truth of your word that god even though sometimes the truth is hard to hear father we know that it is the truth that establishes us lord it's what sets us free it's what sets us apart from the from the world your word says be ye separate to come out from among them father lord would you give us the boldness and the courage to come out from among them father lord we have had one foot in the gospel and one foot in the world for far too long father so lord we thank you for your truth we thank you that even though shepherds have left their flocks to run astray that you are the good shepherd father that you are the shepherd that we hear your voice and we follow your voice lord the voice of truth god lord you are the voice of truth father and lord we thank you for that we thank you that you are everlasting the same yesterday today and forever and even when everything else around us is changing you are not changing father lord we know that in this time you are bringing unity within the body but lord as your body we can discern that there's been a spirit sent against us a spirit that is taking truth and is twisting it father lord they can make us look crazy they can make us look like a cult like we're over here drinking kool-aid but father your truth is going forth and they are taking that truth and they are twisting it and they are turning the body against each other father because the enemy knows he knows that your body unified together in you in christ our cornerstone will go out in this time and will reap the harvest so lord would you give us a discerning spirit to know that when those that come to us that have forward mouse forwardness is in their hearts father that lord your word says that suddenly suddenly calamity will come upon them father lord we thank you that father we have you as our unified front that lord that it doesn't matter the words that they twist the words that they use to sow discord among your body father that lord we have the power of the resurrected king to say that they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony father and so lord right now over your church the bride of christ we plead the blood of jesus that every dark assignment sin against us would not prosper in your name father but lord that it would be broken in your name lord lord that we know that in you truth goes forth and god it doesn't matter if they take the truth and twist it because a half truth is a whole lot father and we rebuke that in the name of jesus lord that your church that your bride would stand on the truth lord that we would speak your word in love in this time lord lord that you would unify your body together lord that we would know that we are at war father we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities lord against wickedness in high places lord would you remind us of the weapon that you have given us the sword of the spirit lord that when we speak your truth that enemies must flee from us because demons still tremble at the name of the lord jesus and so lord we thank you for that truth we thank you that you have given your bride power and authority in this earth lord lord that we can take what the enemy is using to hold us captive and god that we can speak the name of jesus and that people would be set free lord lord that there is no stronghold that can overcome the power of your name that there is no demonic spirit that can overcome the power of your name there is no curse spoken against your bride that can overcome the power of your name and so lord as we sang earlier we speak the name of jesus we shout it from the mountains we shout it in the streets lord we pray it over our families we speak the name of jesus over your church god because lord you are the name above all names father and lord we thank you that in you we do have victory that the lord is our shepherd and we shall not want you maketh us to lie down in green pastures you leadeth us beside the still waters lord you prepare a table in the presence of our enemies god and lord we thank you for that we thank you that with the same words in the same manner of which they came against your bride that suddenly lord suddenly calamity will come upon them lord lord there will be no way that they can stand against the power of your bride because of your son and so lord we thank you and we worship you in jesus name amen let me have some of our prayer team members go ahead and start making their way down if you're here to be baptized in our baptismal celebration i know many of you are
