you have a bad life sometimes you have a bad week doesn't mean it's going to be a bad year you know i can sense tonight there's some burdens in the house i can sense it i i could tell during worship my dear brother michael mathis needed a hug amen i could just tell i could just see it tonight amen look ain't nothing a good hug won't fix get around hug three or four people tonight amen let's welcome each other in the house i don't care if you ain't a hugger you go hug not hook three or four four you don't know him we go hug we god's family tonight amen some of you big old burly dudes hug somebody amen be all right it's a blessing to be in the family amen nothing a good old-fashioned southern hug won't fix every night again you can shake hands hit some elbows give some fist bumps man there's just somebody embracing god's people in the body amen so i i know if one person needed one tonight a whole bunch of people needed them not amen you can be seated all over the house thank you for being here thank you for being with us online we welcome you to wednesday nights under the tent it's so much different than wednesdays or sundays under the tent but it's beautiful i love to see how whimsies are growing and how the lord has manifested his presence and doing great things in our midst been a lot of miles and met a lot of people and preached a lot of sermons since last we've seen each other on sunday and been to north carolina and been to west virginia been back now and today has been just really a super super busy day with a lot of uh just online things having to do and we were on newsmax a little while ago and so just a lot of interviews many of you know that yesterday after all this time i got the final can i got the final boot with a lifetime permanent ban from twitter that's interesting man and so i don't know if that's a badge of honor or something to lick my wounds over but we're not on twitter anymore but it grew telegram and it grew instagram and it grew getter and it grew all the other platforms and so i guess they think by deplatforming you they're going to take your voice away but what they do is accentuate the voice amen when the left tries to shut us down god just gives us a microphone and another platform and a megaphone and we just get louder and we just get louder and so he can't stop the gospel the devil can't stop what the lord is doing and so it's been an interesting week i think at 5 30 i didn't even watch it fox 17 did a little bit of a hit piece it was the short version at nine o'clock tonight if we're out they're gonna do the long version and uh so we'll see how that goes it'll be interesting but you know what it'll do to just drive more people here on sundays just to see what the lord's doing the tennessean did a pretty little hit piece usa today did one and so uh it's interesting they take the story of me being banned on twitter to really talk about why they don't like me and it has nothing to do with twitter and why they can't stand our church and why we're you know we're conspiracy theorists and kova deniers and you know anti-facts and they just want to they basically want to bully us into a corner of silence so that we give in and we give up and we finally apologize and we roll over and let the culture stroke our bellies and say oh we're sorry we're sorry we're sorry the reason we're not sorry is because you can't buy global vision by bible church ladies and gentlemen we're not for sale this bible church isn't for sale this pastor's not for sale this platform this ban we're just not for sale and so look when we have to apologize when we have to make things right we have to repent we'll do it but when we're right and we got the bible in our lane and we're going the right direction there's no need to apologize the devil hates oncoming traffic we are oncoming traffic to the enemy's camp to the enemy's kingdom and so we we we can't be silent we're dropping the right bombs over the right targets and we just continue amen we just continue and i believe tonight god's going to speak to our hearts in a beautiful way i've already enjoyed the worship i'm excited about further worship i'm really excited about prayer time i love prayer time on wednesday nights you know i wish sometimes we could just cut through all the drama and all the pizzazz and all the hurt feelings and all the power struggles just come to church to worship jesus everything wouldn't that be a beautiful thing ((applause)) put all the personalities aside last night i was preaching in west virginia place was packed to capacity and and i got towards the end of my message and i could tell i had a beating out of the palm of my hands it was ra rob bishkum we love jesus it was a rally man i could have sold cars that night i mean they were in it so we got close to the end of the message and i said look i'm gonna dial things back on purpose because i feel like i've fed my big personality a lot tonight in this service and i know look i know when when if i'm not careful my personality can overshadow what i'm trying to say i'm very demonstrative i'm big in public and want to be left alone drink my coffee by myself with my wife in private but last night i said look let's dial this thing back because this ain't about greg law this is about the gospel it's about jesus and i don't want my personality to overshadow what i'm trying to say about jesus you know sometimes i just want to go to church and i just want to be the pastor of global vision bible church right i just want to come to church and be a shepherd i don't care anything about internet stardom and newsmax and fox and cnn sometimes i just want to come to church just worship with my people amen just worship with the family that i love and that's what i want to do tonight i don't care about the rest of him thank god for everybody watching online but we're not doing this so we can get on more shows we don't need more radio exposure we don't need more newspaper exposure we don't need more social media exposure what we need is to be exposed to the presence of god tonight in this place like never before that's what we need and i want god to speak to our hearts and so that that's why i'm hearing so i just want to dial things back i just want to settle in be comfortable and watch god move in this place watch god move in this place so we got a lot of prayer requests that we want to share with you tonight and you know the drill we'll get you lined up here in a second and let you grab these requests and we'll nail all of this green carpeted area amen and we'll just allow you to call these names out to the lord for everybody watching on youtube and facebook and our social media streaming platforms just right now begin to drop your prayer requests right there in the comments section i promise you dozens hundreds thousands of people will be praying for you i promise you we will just as much as we're faithful to pray for these tonight and throughout the week we will pray for every single request that comes in i guarantee you we will and so don't think just because you're not with us in this tent tonight or on a sunday or whenever gathered with us physically we'd love to have you visit us sometime but just because you're not in this room physically does not mean that there won't be a host of people that are going to lift you up tonight to the throne of grace and pray for you i want to have our folks that are involved in our prayer team to go ahead and start making their way up they'll be at my right your left and i want you to come tonight if you need to be prayed for if you need somebody to pray with you lay hands on you love you tonight anoint you help you encourage you just look you in the eyes and let you know god's still on the throne and everything's going to be all right i mean that's what we want you to do tonight and so i'm going to have these prayer requests be passed out my wife and my daughter will come and we're going to allow you to just go ahead and stand in line you go ahead and just come both directions and let's grab these prayer requests tonight if you can just begin to kneel all across the front and all across the front here over by the baptistry area but if you need prayer i want you to come right over here let some people pray for you if you walked in with a burden you ain't got to walk out with the same burden if you walked in with a heart ache you ain't got to walk out with the same heartache if you walked in with a sickness or an ailment you don't have to walk out with the same sickness and the same ailment as monica prayed and sang a moment ago he's still a healing god he's still a god miracle signs and wonders and so you come tonight and let some folks pray for you and over you and with you tonight in this place and you come grab these requests it's always my favorite time on wednesday night if you're a first time visitor don't feel compelled you're under no obligation if you want one in your seat one of our ushers can bring you one when they're done praying with them you just hold them up in your hands shake them like this and we'll make sure that we get them passed around but we pray for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of prayer requests every single wednesday night we take extra time to pray don't apologize we're not ashamed of that jesus said my house should be a house of prayer so you come tonight like a mighty crescendo you just call these names out to the lord out loud you pray for those needs god knows who they are and god knows what they need god hears and he loves and delights in answering prayer so you come tonight let's spend some moments in prayer ((music playing)) folks being prayed over tonight you come wherever you have you need some prayer let these people help you bear a bird and sometimes you just need somebody to lay a hand on your shoulder and pray for you let you know it's gonna be all right the sun will shine again god's gonna bless again he can still revive he can turn your situation around when there is no way god makes the way there's still a highway through the waters of the red sea like we sang about tonight he still raises the dead heals the sick he's still a miracle working god whatever you need tonight come on let him pray for you love to hear the sound of all these voices talking to the father talking to the father hallelujah so hallelujah ((music playing)) father tonight we enter into your gates with thanksgiving lord we just thank you for who you are god lord there's no doubt there are some heavy burdens in this place tonight but god we know that you are on the throne and that you are worthy to be praised in all things and god your children will not allow the rocks to cry out in our place and so god we will praise you and we will worship you in the valley and on the mountaintop because god no matter what is going on in our lives no matter what our situation is you are the constant one you are the same yesterday today and forever lord we can come to you and find grace and mercy in our time of need god we can find comfort and peace and love and all of the things that we search for and all of the things that we long for is in one name and that's the name of the lord jesus christ and so god tonight we thank you we thank you for your son we thank you for the holy spirit that can come in and teach us and comfort us and guide us lord god tonight no doubt so many people have some some decisions ahead of them so lord tonight we're asking from wisdom from your word god would we have open hearts tonight would the church hear what the spirit of the lord has to say may we feast on your word and allow it to cleanse us lord tonight in this place we thank you for all the people that willingly came forward that just needed prayer we thank you for the assembly of ourselves together i think about what monica said on sunday and how powerful that truth is that we are to come together as your bride as your church and edify one one another to lift each other up to love each other to carry each other's burdens and so god we thank you for the local church god we thank you that we have a body of believers that we can belong to that we can come to and get counseling and get wisdom and get prayer and get a hug when we need a hug or a smile when we need a smile or a pop upside the head when we need a pop upside the head lord we thank you for all of that we thank you that we are family and sometimes family doesn't always get along but we're still family and we still love each other and we still come together in unity because of who our father is and so lord tonight we just lift you on high in this place because lord it is you and you alone that we are looking to lord as we saying would you just open up the heavens would your will be done on earth as it is in heaven lord tonight would we see miracles in our midst would we see signs and wonders and all of the beautiful things that we long for god all of the things that we pray fervently for lord we trust you and we believe you because we have judged you faithful that has promised and lord your promises are yes and amen and so tonight god we are going to rest in your promise we will rest in the presence of your spirit in this place tonight god and lord we will worship you and we will praise you and we will honor you and we will give you all glory and all honor because it all belongs to you you are the alpha and the omega and so lord we just thank you and we love you in jesus name amen well shout amen church hallelujah the lord is working in this place we'll let them continue to pray we're going to go into worship here in just a moment before we get into our short teaching time tonight we always like to take time to pray on wednesdays we love to worship a little extra on wednesdays and we love to give on wednesdays we love to give every time we meet every time we gather i want our folks online globalvisionbc.com they'll put a link up there and we want you to help us tonight i know this past sunday we have been trying to get ahead and kind of catch our breath after we paid cash for all the land to god be the glory amen we got all of it amen god let us pay cash for every bit of it that's been a blessing we've we've helped a lot of folks but i want you to help me tonight i know last week we gave to pastor artur if we ever do wednesday night offerings it's almost exclusively 98 99 percent of the time for somebody else one of our own families one of our missionary families they're getting ready to go back for another survey trip to the country of peru and we've been privileged to partner with them and they live out in the ashland city area and have a farm out there but they're getting ready to go over to peru for another lengthy survey trip there's several children's homes a couple of orphanages some homes that they're working in both in the desert and in the jungle total polar opposites today was their deadline on being able to get the tickets and i hope that that they're still able to get what they need and get where they need to go but how many of you believe that especially when you have people in your own house that the house honors those that you're sending out of the house amen and we're a blessing to these folks and we get them to peru and get his wife there and get these kiddos they're a godly family a good family a loving family and so tonight for just a few moments as we begin in our our time of worship you see the buckets up here they're not always here on wednesday when they are you can know we're given to somebody blessing somebody make it a check just make it out to global vision we'll make sure that they get what they need they need a remaining eight thousand dollars at least to get all the kiddos and he and his wife and everything over there and to be a blessing to them when they get there it's not cheap to travel with that big of a family uh internationally especially i think they've had about 3 600 or so dollars come in over the course of really a long duration of time we can get them over that tonight we can bless them and we can help them some of our very own so i want you to stand and we're going to worship with all of our heart tonight but it's part of our worship i want you just to come whatever whatever cash whatever checks you put in our folks online globalvisionbc.com g-i-v-e give let's let's help they get these folks to peru let's get them that eight thousand dollars that they need tonight put them over the top they can buy these tickets buy what they need get over there and scout these places out so they can reach these boys and girls in these villages and these orphanages with the gospel of christ and i believe we're compelled to help i hadn't even thought about it all week long i saw him on sunday and told him we'd try to figure out what we could do and then tonight during prayer i looked over and saw my brother and his son sitting there and i said tonight let's take an offering for them let's be a blessing to them let's get them over and above what they need so in-house and online help us out tonight to get this godly family where they need to go so during our worship use a time of worship as a time of giving god bless you as you give god bless you as you sing ((music playing)) pastor said earlier if you have a burden let's not isolate ourselves because that's what the world would have us to do but let's run to the father you saw my conditions laying on on my own i've carried ((music playing)) i hear your invitation to let it all go i see it now i'm laying it down ((music playing)) ((music playing)) my soul needs a friend so i write to the father again and again and again ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) you saw my condition i had a plan from the start ((music playing)) and i don't have the context for that kind of love i don't understand i can't comprehend all i know is ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) again ((music playing)) come on let's run to the father ((music playing)) ((music playing)) long before my first breath ((music playing)) deep in is chest your mercy is ((applause)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) ((music playing)) the is ((music playing)) long before my first ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) ((music playing)) again ((music playing)) you know this last almost two years the devil has tried to separate to isolate us from not just one another but from the father and god says i've called you together there is nothing too big that he can't do there is nothing too out of his reach there is no one too far gone there is no circumstance there is no past there is no deed that his grace does not cover ((music playing)) and i don't know what you need today but i know that he is all in all that he is everything that we need if you need a healer he's a healer if you need a father he's a father if you need a friend he's a friend ((music playing)) so we're going to sing a little bit more and i just want i just want to run to the father tonight we have to come to a place where we are desperate for his presence desperate for his power because i don't want stale christianity i don't want a religion i want a relationship i want the power i don't want anything left behind i want all that he has to offer and he says i'm here i've just been waiting for you ((music playing)) so run to the park i'll fall into grace i'm done with ((music playing)) again again again i've run to the fall i fall into grace i'm done with the hiding no reason why my heart needs a certain ((music playing)) again again ((music playing)) again again ((music playing)) long before my first ((music playing)) deep in my chest your mercy is calling it's calling me out and just ask i am ((music playing)) ((music playing)) again ((music playing)) my heart needs again panted for the water so my soul longer after thee all cause you're lost you are alone all my hearts desire and i long ((music playing)) father we long to worship you that our soul would pant for you as the deer pounded forth the water so my soul ((music playing)) desire ((music playing)) cause you ((music playing)) are my strength my shield to you all alone maybe ((music playing)) desire and i long to shift thee ((music playing)) come on let's give him some praise tonight amen ((music playing)) i hope that is our desire psalm 42 1 as the deer panteth after the water brook so panteth longith thirsteth my soul after thee o god you know in that same context david makes a very interesting observation he said i will be satisfied when i awake with thy likeness you should never be spiritually comfortable or satisfied until you wake up looking just like jesus i will be satisfied when i awake without likeness and her singing that they're just kind of impromptu reminded me of that well i want to invite you to my favorite book of the bible the book of acts in the 19th chapter for just a few moments for our bible study time together tonight the book of acts in chapter 19 and really i just have a a wednesday night bible study thought that i want to share with you it'll take me a moment or two to develop the context and the historical narrative to get us where we need to be because as we often say bible preaching ought to come out of the bible thank you for standing our young people can be dismissed i get so excited about preaching i forget to get rid of the students amen get on students all right all of our young people 6th grade through the 12th grade they can be dismissed and find their place down below the hill there with the jones family while we find our place in acts chapter 19. and i appreciate our young people always having a a great group look at them grow and grow and grow and my goodness whole bunch of them going out and then a blessed amen give our young people a hand they're doing a great job for the lord let's pray father tonight i want to say thank you for letting me hold a microphone one more time and lift it up jesus and lord you said in red letters in the bible if jesus be lifted up then you'll draw people unto yourself and so i pray that you'll do what greg locke and global vision cannot do lord we just want to dial back a little bit and just teach let's preach a little bit from a passage on my heart and i pray that it would leave an indelible mark upon our soul tonight well there's one or two verses here that are so filled with gospel gravity they ought to pull us down to the ground in conviction and so i pray that you'd help me to develop them tonight in a way that would please you and bring honor to you but also would convict us and help us lord i want to come to church sometimes and fall under conviction to know how to be different to know how to be better for christ so tonight use this narrative to make us less of who we are by nature and more conformed to the image of our savior the lord jesus christ and whose name we pray and all of god's people said we've taught and studied and preached often times through the book of acts in a number of contexts and not too long ago under what i call now the old tent it's hard to even remember it now that the lord's done so much of his manifested glory in this one but under that tent we talk about something that happened in acts chapter 19 but we stopped short not for time's sake but it just wasn't the context of what we were dealing with so in acts chapter 19 you have to understand there's been a red-hot revival meeting that has taken place what we would call a blue flame revival people were being saved at the drop of a hat and the holy ghost was bringing the hat i mean he was throwing down the gauntlet converts were being baptized demons were being pulled out of people's bodies they were being healed i mean everything you could imagine a revival of the spirit of god to be was happening in acts chapter 19 and then some it was a beautiful beautiful display of the presence of god now in the middle of that there were some men that thought they were going to be just like the apostle paul they were seven sons of a man from skeva and he was basically an itinerant individual and so these men the vagabonds the king james calls them we don't have time to go back and look at them but these vagabonds these people that went from village to village they had no power themselves other than book smarts and how many you know there's a lot of people that are book smart and god dumb your education will get you just as far as a book will take you and the holy spirit can do way more than your phd and your education could ever imagine i had to unlearn a whole lot of stuff when i really started to study the bible it's a piece of paper on the wall that don't mean squat at the end of the day my grandfather used to say it's like the curl on a pig's tail it looks cute but it don't make any more ham and there's a lot of people that have a lot of book smarts but they have god in a box and i'm here to tell you when you get out of the books into that book you better know something god's going to extraordinarily change your life and so these men with book smarts showed up in town and they found a man that was demonically possessed and the bible says that these seven sons of skeva began to call over that man that had a devil in the name of the lord jesus comma whom paul preaches these men didn't even know jesus these men had a working understanding and knowledge of what the gospel was they had a head knowledge not a heart knowledge and as billy graham used to say much of the people in the church world are going to go to hell and miss heaven by 18 inches the distance from their head to their heart and these men knew about jesus but they didn't understand the power of the gospel themselves and so they said we know about jesus and we know about paul and so we command you in the name of jesus that paul preaches to come out of him and the devil laughed at them and the devil came out of that man's throat and said paul i know and jesus i know but who in the world do you think you are you see the devil sees through your fake spirituality did anyone what i'm preaching on tonight but i feel good about right this moment the devil sees through your religion the demons see through your denominational hierarchy and just a little bit of education what the devil is after is the anointing you hear me the devil's not just after your family he's not just after me as an individual he's not after this tent he's not after global vision bible church he's after the anointing that's what the devil's after because it's the anointing that breaks the bondage and the yoke of the devil's back in jesus mighty name there is no doubt about that fact and so he said look we know who paul is and we know who jesus is but we ain't got the foggiest idea who you think you are and the bible says the man in whom the devil was leaped on all seven of those men stripped them naked beat them half dead and shamed them out of town now i don't know if they had twitter back in that day but i guarantee you it blew up there is no doubt about it these preachers came to town and when they walked in they had on their three-piece suits they had on their bow ties they had their hair slicked back gold wire rim glasses big old family bible under their arm but that ain't the way they left town because the devil beat them and stripped them naked and shamed them out of town so they walked in like this but they walked out like that that's what the bible says shame them out of town because the devil can see through your fair circle nonsense the devil don't care how spiritual your grandmama was the devil doesn't care how spiritual your other pastor was the devil doesn't care how spiritual your parents are it's me it's me it's me oh lord standing in the need of prayer and you need a personal relationship with jesus you don't need my relationship with jesus you don't need their relationship you don't need his you don't need hers you need your own personal walk with god because the devil can see through all that fictitious nonsense but that's not even what we're preaching on so we're going to pick up the story right when it got finished of wounding these men stripping them naked kicking them out of town verse 17. and this say this what just happened the devil stripped them naked kicked him out of town this was known to all the jews and greeks also dwelling in ephesus i bet it was i bet the word spread real fast over that situation but notice what happened and fear fell on them all and the name of the lord jesus was magnified now let me tell you why that does something to me and my spirit tonight in bible study the devil did the work and jesus got the glory did you just see that the devil stripped these men naked beat them kicked them out of town and the bible says that fear fell on the people and they glorified jesus not the devil and i don't care what the devil throws your way i don't care what hail by the acre you've been fighting in your home i don't care what addiction you're falling down the steps struggling with i don't care what the enemy tells you it doesn't make any difference he will come against you he will malign you he will marginalize you he will attack you he will shame you he will guilt you but at the end of it god almighty is the one that's going to get the glory for everything the devil is putting you through because what the enemy means for evil god means for good that's why joel said that god is able to restore unto you the years that the locust ate now that's a whole wednesday night teaching in and of itself i used to say all the time well you know the bible says that god will give you back what the locusts ain't no done it says god will give you back the years that the locals say all those years you were a bad spouse all those years you were a bad child a bad parent all those years you were a bad you fit in the blank all those years you wasted when you wanted to serve jesus but you didn't have enough gospel motivation god is going to give all the years back that the enemy took away from you that's what the bible says so the devil did the leaping and jesus did the reaping the devil is the one that did the work and nobody said praise be to the devil everybody said praise be to the lord god almighty but then notice it says in verse 18 and many that believed came and confessed and showed their deeds now i love that natural progression right there in verse number 18 really it's an outline in and of itself you can take it and use it sometimes they came they confessed and they showed their deeds so they came to christ they believed they repented and believed the gospel that was the first message of jesus mark 1 15 repent and believe the gospel it was the first message of john the baptist repent for the kingdom of god is at hand it was the first message of the disciples repent repent repent not a happy-go-lucky clap your hand message nobody wants to hear it today but the message hasn't changed you need to repent that's what the bible says and so once they came to christ they repented and they confessed their sin the bible says we believe in our heart that god hath raised him from the dead romans chapter 10 and with the heart we believe unto righteousness and with the mouth somebody say mouth confession is made unto salvation life and death are in the power of the tongue and the bible said that they came and the bible said that they confessed but then i love this it says and they showed their deeds now here's why we're slowing down tonight here's why i think this is important i think we miss that if we're not careful we like that come to christ contest to christ repent believe the gospel but there's something that happens because you do that you see a salvation stick with me a salvation that won't change your life will never save your soul ((music playing)) a salvation that can't get you to church won't ever get you to god's kingdom there's no doubt about that a salvation that cannot transform you inwardly but only transform you outwardly is a powerless salvation and the bible says that we deny the power thereof and there's a lot of people in the church that profess christ but not possess christ and the bible says that they came and the bible says that they confessed and the bible says because of that they showed their deeds there was a visible transformation that took place in their life if there is one thing in the american church that i have been criticized more and more and more and more than even my political stand it's the fact that i believe when you get born again you will be a new creature in christ old things are passed away behold all things are become new you don't get to use the grace of god as lasciviousness and live any way that you jotted well please when you get born again you'll be different you won't be perfect but you will be different the god on the inside will manifest himself on the outside that's what the bible teaches you cannot show me you cannot show me a non-transformed christ follower in the bible well you know maybe i'm saved maybe i'm not some days i feel it some days i don't look you ain't saved by feelings you say by faith let me say something i'm happily wonderfully joyfully over the top madly in love married but i don't always wake up feeling married but i know i am because i wake up beside her and i got a ring on my hand right and so it's not that i wake up saying whoa i'm married well then one day i wake up i just don't feel married some people treat god like that they wake up one day well i'm saved wake up the next day well i don't know if i'm saved look you are not saved by your feelings you are saved by faith and guess what we got a ring called the bible to prove it ladies and gentlemen there's transformation of the heart when you get born again you've got to make sure you're basing your salvation on the right stuff now i don't think about i got to say this because i do this a lot in personal soul winning time when i'm when i'm trying to apply the gospel to people's lives and i see that they're like a deer in the headlights and they're not getting it i always say this i say look you've got to make sure that you're not just trusting on the fact that you know who jesus is mentally you're relying on the fact that jesus is your lord and savior and the only way to the kingdom it's all in what you believe not that you believe there's a lot of people that believe they believe they don't want to go to hell they believe that there is a god they believe that you know whatever whatever whatever at the end of the day the bible says believe on not believe him the devils believe and tremble and no devil's ever been born again so here's what i tell people in personal confrontation maybe to help you tonight let's just suppose for example that here in a little bit i give an invitation and somebody comes running down here to the altar by the lions and the tigers and bears oh my and they come down here and they kneel and let's just suppose that they say lord jesus i want you to save me right now by the grace of god and when they say that let's just suppose that the lights in the tent flicker kind of like they just did couldn't have planned that no better thank you so let's just suppose that the lights kind of just kind of flicker when you when you pray to trust god and you jump up and you're like well i'll be i know i'm born again because the lights flickered at global vision bible church under the tent when i got saved and prayed on a wednesday night so you walk out of here basing your salvation on the fact that the lights flickered when you prayed but the story doesn't end there because then you get down the road about half a mile and a drunk driver has gone off into the ditch and hit a telephone pole snapped it slam in too nes down there trying to fix it sparks flying all over the place wires hanging down the road do not pass do not pass do not pass danger danger high voltage so here's what the enemy says oh did the lights flicker in that tent because you got saved or did the lights flicker in that tent because a drunk hit a pole and that person goes the rest of their life not knowing whether they're saved or not because they base their salvation on lights flickering in a tent when they shoot a basement on a person named jesus christ it don't matter the lights are on or the lights are off or the lights are flickering right now it don't matter and people base their salvation on a lot of erroneous things that does not give them any concrete foundational proof that they've ever been born again and the bible says we are saved one way by faith by faith so they came to christ they confessed and they showed their deeds they proved their salvation we say the proof is in the puddin well this past sunday we said the proof is in the power the proof of your salvation is in your life transformation now here's the danger in that because there is a danger in that and the danger is this the danger is when we compare ourselves amongst ourselves we say well that person's not growing as fast as i am they're not changing as fast as i am they're not repenting as quickly as that look i'm not the measuring stick and neither are you everybody grows at a different rate some people grow over the course of 20 years some people grow over the course of 20 minutes some people get born again and they're bible theologians some people get born again and for 40 years they're ignorant as a brick and they've got to learn every day everybody's got to grow but they ain't got to grow like you grow and if we're not careful we'll look down our long phariserical noses at people that aren't where we are spiritually but i remind you you didn't get here in 24 hours and they ain't gonna get there in 24 or 48 hours either somebody loved you somebody was patient with you somebody discipled you somebody fasted for you somebody invited you to church somebody answered your phone calls and your crazy text messages at three o'clock in the morning and they loved you and they loved you and they loved you and the more stupid you were the more they loved you ((music playing)) and that discipleship and that holy spirit sanctification setting us apart makes us who we are right now so let me just say in passing make sure you love people where they are not where you wish they were don't love people five years down the road you love them right now or they'll never be who god called them to be five years down the road don't stunt their growth by making them use you as a measuring stick because you're not the measuring rod i'm not the measuring rod jesus is the measuring rod so you measure yourself against me and you look pretty good i measure myself against you i look pretty good we stop that nonsense and start measuring ourselves against jesus don't none of us look so hot at all amen church because he's perfect and we're not we're still fall down the steps psychotic and crazy there's no doubt so they came they confessed they showed their deeds but here's what i want to show you the next two verses blow my mind they amaze me and they won't take a long time to develop they just amaze me because without any fanfare without anybody poking and plotting nobody put up a tent nobody showed them a youtube video that this is what you're supposed to do nobody railroaded them and ram-rotted them and said this is what you do no they knew what to do next they knew what to do next they knew what it was that was kinking the hose and damning up the flow of the holy ghost in their life they knew and nobody had to badger them about it and so let me just say one more thing before i read the next verse stop playing the holy spirit in people's lives because you and i do a lousy job of trying to be the holy ghost let god be true and every man a liar we should want people to grow we cannot force their fruit out of season or it will be rotten and so they came they confessed they showed their deeds and the first way they showed their deeds is check this out verse 19. many of them same people that came confessed showed their deeds here's how they did it many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together and burned them before all men and they counted the price of them and found it 50 000 pieces of silver that's crazy right there nobody came to them that we know of in the narrative and said now look now that you have come to christ you confess your sins you got to go home and separate yourself from your past you got to go burn that wickedness you got to get rid of that witchcraft that satanism and that sort nobody had to tell them that i've had people say brother lock the reason y'all baptize so many people is because you don't make them go through a month or two month long discipleship class if we just baptize them the first sunday they showed up and got born again we'd have that many numbers as well number one that's a lousy excuse number two show me a discipleship class for baptism anywhere in the new testament huh that dude out in the desert the ethiopian eunuch he said hey here's water what does hinder me to be baptized philip said you believe he said yep he said let's roll buddy bow dunk him you see we try to ripen people faster than the gospel ripens people some of us come out of the gate wide open heaven down with a hammer down we can handle it some of us get changed boom i mean we're just crazy for jesus like 24 hours right but for some of you it takes a while and that's cool but you and i have the same holy ghost they did and the bible says when they came and they confessed and they showed their deeds the first thing they did is they went back home and the bible says they got their works and their curious arts and their past and they burned them before all men go back that verse up on that screen they burned them before all men the bible says and here's what's interesting they counted it 50 000 pieces of silver so my question is who cares how much it cost they could have been playing with monopoly money in ephesus for all i care why does it matter that when they bought all of brought all of their books together and their ambulance and all of their sorcery and all of their witchcraft and all their whatever you want to call it when they brought it why does it matter that it was valued at 50 000 pieces of silver because what the holy spirit is showing us is this when it comes to going to the next level in your spiritual life there's no price too high to be paid to make sure that you unblock what is keeping you from growing to the next level and they brought their works and their curious arts and their magicianry and they brought all of their sorcery and they brought all their satanism look i don't have a long time to develop this we can have a whole series on this we can talk about it on a sunday morning when there's a lot more people here but i'm here to tell you witchcraft has infiltrated the church in america sorcery has infiltrated the church in america satanism has infiltrated the pulpits of america it's infiltrated us this transcendental meditation nonsense jesus said my house should be a house of prayer not a house of transgender meditation that shall take you to another dimension you better get out of that dimension you better stop all this stupid soul projection nonsense i'm hearing christians talk about eastern mysticism like it's in the bible it's nonsense it's witchcraft the church is full of it the church is full of it has to be called out so guess what happened watch the next verse we're going to come back but watch the next verse this is what i want to get to verse 20. so mightily say mightily so mightily that's big grew the word of god and prevailed so the question is this had not the word of god grown and prevailed up until that point yeah but it reached the stopping point so it didn't grow and it didn't grow mightily and it didn't prevail until they got rid of what was kinking the system were people saved yes were people baptized yes where churches started yes where healings miracle signs and wonders abundant yes but they didn't go to the next level until they dealt with where they were at their current level i hope god gives you the capacity to handle what i'm telling you right now there's some of you you've got to divorce yourself from what you used to be before god will ever take you to the next level of who you should be in christ so i could take this message a thousand and fifty two different ways but at the end of the day they knew what to get rid of they knew what to burn they knew what to deal with there's a lot of people that are so consumed with hollywood they know nothing about the holy word some of you ought to choose your netflix resources a little bit better say amen now i've gone from preaching to meddling but i'm on metal for a minute some of you need to watch what kind of entertainment you let up in your house some of you need to pay attention to what you watch and what you let your kids watch and what you listen to what you're hearing and what you're seeing you've got an eye gate you've got an ear gate and once it goes in the mind it's like a steel bear trap it never goes anywhere it can pervert you it can make you or it can break you be careful what you submit you and your family to the devil likes to work through objects you see well i just don't believe that you've lost your mind that's why if you're a born-again bible believer i don't care if hasbro or disney whoever puts it out you better get them ouija boards up out of your house say amen ((applause)) don't you play don't you watch him stupid movies all about that mess all this transcendental meditation all this levitation myth all this demon possession oh i love to watch the exorcist yeah you ain't gonna like it when one of your family members has their heads spin around like a swivel and throws up all over the place and regurgitates nonsense from the devil hey don't celebrate satanism in your house don't celebrate that nonsense the bible said they burned it you know why because they knew how evil it was they knew about all that mess now we think well you know ain't no witch doctors over here in america no we got people that call themselves pastors that are nothing more than witch doctors church service is nothing more than a spook fest and by the way that's why i've had such an aversion to the prophetic because i've seen it done wrong but when it's done right the right prophetic calls out the wrong prophetic and some of y'all need to go home and have yourself a good old-fashioned burning maybe i'll have a big old parking lot burning next wednesday i just burn some stuff just bring all kind of stuff to burn that's holding you back in the name of god now if you've got bags and bricks of dope don't bring that praise god i'll all get a contact buzz but i'm here to tell you there's some stuff you ought to burn some of you ladies you're like man i tell you i'd love to be more in love with my husband then quit reading them trashy sexual romance novels and you will fall more in love with your husband you ought to burn that trash in the name of god you can't enjoy your husband because you're too busy reading about everybody else's somebody shout him in this place while i preach till 9 15. i know what time it is don't look at your watch i'll penalize everybody in the whole class some people need to go through some dvds and deal with that mess i like when people get born again they say well you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna sell all the stuff from my past if it ain't good for you it ain't good for your neighbors burn that trash i don't care how much it's worth the bible said it was worth 50 000 pieces of silver and some of you right now you're like oh my goodness i got this in my house and i got man i bet you this is satanism i bet this witchcraft you better deal with it because guess what you didn't know up until now ignorance is bliss but now to whom much is told much is required and if you know the truth you better deal with the truth and some of y'all need to have a good old-fashioned what papo used to say baptist burn barrel in the house now look we can go figuratively tonight we could talk about burning toxic relationships we could talk about burning bitterness and burning anger and burning all this kind of look i get that but some of you let's get a little bit more tangible huh some of y'all better burn pornography you better get that wicked devilish demonic hellish garbage off your phone he said well i can delete my browser history you can't delete what the holy ghost sees he sees all of it did you know i crisscross this country all the time wear myself out preaching the gospel and you know the number one problem the number one the number one the number one problem in churches in america is internet pornography the number one problem now let's shall shock you you know what the number one struggle with pastors is in america internet pornography by the way it don't start with pornography it starts by getting under the spell of that nonsense it starts by dabbling in some of this stuff that i'm saying you better get rid of and you better deal with i'm telling you there is a prince of the power of the air the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience and that spirit is alive and well in this nation and he's wide slam open in most churches we've got to burn that mess i'm going to jump out and say something i know is going to offend a couple of people but i got to say it because god told me to ((music playing)) the last time i even remotely mentioned this we had a guy that followed us for a long time and gave a lot of money to the church he said i'll never give another dime i said i don't want your blood money i'll tell you something you hear me and you hear me well if you have any affiliation with a masonic lodge whatsoever you better break that wicked demonic nonsense out of your life ((applause)) i don't care if you stand i don't care if you clap i don't care if you throw maters and taters i don't need your stupid secret handshake i don't need you putting your hand inside your coat when you pledge allegiance i'll call you out lickety-split lick it i'm telling you the masonic lodge is illuminati godless wicked organization that has nothing to do with jesus whatsoever i don't care what your granddaddy told you ((applause)) i don't care what you i'll give you five seconds to leave if you get mad i will not apolo i'm telling you it is satanism it is satanism it's right at the end of tate lane i ain't playing their stupid good old boy games i ain't getting involved in that witchcraft not nonsense that thing has nothing to do with jesus what so don't you let anybody tell you because here's what they'll say well there's just certain things in the lodge we can't share our secrets we ain't got no secrets praise god and i'll tell you why i say that some of you need to go home and i don't care if your granddaddy's great granddaddy great granddaddy great great great granddaddy was on the ark with noah you need to get rid of that masonic bible that you got in your living room because that thing's got demonic spirits attached to it and you ought to get rid of it and burn it in the name of god i don't care if you clap or not ((music playing)) i'm telling you you ought to separate yourself from witchcraft they'll threaten to kill you do everything they can that oh my goodness i can't believe you calling out the masons it's a jesus organization i dare you to walk up in one start talking about jesus and see what happens it's a sexually perverted explicit vile cult is exactly what the masonic lodge is i never preached about it like this but i am right now because i'm feeling froggy i'm jumping it's straight straight-up witchcraft i don't care if you come back or not i don't need your money i don't have to have your support we ain't got to have any more people fill up this tent i'll empty this thing out i'm going to preach against demonism every time i see it it's evil as hell it's wicked as the devil it's nothing but full-blown satanism it's full-blown satanism now here's why some of you have a hard time with that because your granddaddy was a master mason so was mine you know what master mason means nothing it means he was part of the good old boys club he went to the fish fries and he got a ring that said he was a third degree mason but guess what happens when you're a third degree mason you've got a choice to make you see they got two different rights that you go up you see them guys with them upside down trash cans on their head them shriners look i'm glad they ride go-karts and help burn victims i'm glad what they do in the hospitals but it's nothing more than a money cover-up for what they ain't doing in them hospitals someone say right now i don't care they can put a laser on me right here bring it you start preaching like this you become a big target let me tell you something when they get up that high i've studied it for years i know all their secret handshakes i know other stupid secrets i know all the mess that they propagate i know about all the sexual deviants i know about bringing strippers into them buildings my friend that ain't got no windows and that's why they do shame on them dirty old men i know about the fact that the masonic lodge is the number one sex trafficking place in the planet i know about the fact that they cover for the illuminati i know about all that stuff i know about other hollywood connect you ain't fooling me ((applause)) i ain't playing you can't argue with me about this mess i know it all i know what they call the name of their god when you become a 32nd and a 33rd degree mason and it ain't jesus they call him jobulon they walk in a circle three of them oh i'm getting some secrets out now they hold hands and they walk in us jehovah bale and apollyon three deities combined into one that's the god they serve it is a demonic influence in this nation oh i can tell some of you ain't coming back i can tell right now i can see it on some of y'all's faces and the fact that you're pissed off about it shows i'm right shows i'm right ((music playing)) shows i'm right expose all their wicked mess by the way did you know you can't name a president except trump who ain't been a mason huh can't name one all them bunch of devils stroking each other's egos you ever noticed why people look i didn't look at your cars and you came tonight i don't care what you've got in the back your car if you've got one of these stupid little eastern mysticism symbols on the back especially if you ain't a mason and you've got one on the back of your car you'll take that nonsense off you know why they do that they do that to keep from getting a ticket because guess what if a cop's a mason and he pulls over mason he's got an obligation not to give a mason a ticket you ever wonder why murderers and rapists and pedophiles and junkies get off so easily because if a judge is a mason he can't condemn and judge another mason i don't think y'all listen to me tonight ((music playing)) burn that mess witchcraft burn it sorcery burn it get rid of all that mess listen that camera time some of it looks so kitty it just looks so disney-like it's just so innocent ain't nothing innocent about satanism you got to read deuteronomy god said put the wizards and the witches to death don't suffer them to live in the camp he said so you can you know you can play your harry potter games all you want to but i ain't playing with you it's entry level witchcraft and satanism 101. one thousand percent good thing i'm off twitter i can be able to see what newsweek and right-wing watch says about me tonight amen but i don't care that's wednesday so we got a much smaller crowd i get it but i'm just as bold tonight as i'm ever gonna be i have a responsibility as a shepherd to warn the sheep leave that mess alone leave that mess alone everybody okay ((applause)) i'm just checking anybody want to jump up here grab a mic and publicly debate me about it i'm so quick on my feet i'll let you hmm anybody want to get up deny what i just said about them stupid handshakes huh anybody want to jump up and say job belong is not true didn't think so i'll take anybody up on it online you show up anytime you won't do skippy anytime you want to i ain't playing their demon games i'm done with it i don't know if i've just ate something bad or i'm fired up because i got banned on twitter but i ain't playing it no more i'm letting witchcraft come up in this church i ain't letting demonism come up in this church i ain't letting sorcery come up in this church i ain't letting false prophecies come up in this church we're going to keep it clear we're going to keep it right we're going to keep it smooth we're going to keep it biblical we're going to keep it godly we're going to call it all out all of it all of it so we got to pray we got to get out of here so notice verse 20. so mightily grew the word of god and prevailed so what's the result when you deal with the garbage you grow when you deal with the garbage you grow i know that makes me seem abrasive but i know the facts i've read their books i've talked to people that came out of it that were in it as high as you can go that live under threat of death and despair because they made an oath to gouge out their eyes and cut their innards what kind of christian makes an oath like that by the way i'm going to say one more thing is that okay for the three of you that said yes i'm gonna say one more thing when i was in college i had to take a colts class six weeks was on the masonic lodge six weeks so we had a man who wasn't a master mason we had a man that was a shriner top of the line come to class that left it and he showed us inside pictorial video of a step by step if i'm lying i'm dying may god strike me dead right here on these steps if i'm even stretching or exaggerating what i'm about to tell you that's how serious i am about it i'll die for what i believe in i ain't letting sorcery creep up in this tent i'll chop the head off a snake every time he showed a video of the step-by-step initiation of what what happens when you first get initiate that's why you have to be brought in you can't just walk you don't go down the street just open up hey i'm here to be a mason oh no you can be brought in you play by their rules and he showed step by step by step by step initiation of the masonic lodge just to be amazing just to get in we didn't talk about degrees just to get in then he turned that camera off and turn another video camera on step by step by step word by word by word illustration by illustration verbatim to the t without a doubt same steps to be initiated as a member of the satanic church my line same steps now i love everybody enough online but especially under the tent to say this if you've gone through that initiation just renounce it just repent of it you didn't know no better but you know now so you got a choice you can call me a liar and fight with me but obviously your coward won't do it in public or you can go home pull that stupid ring off your finger throw that thing in the garbage can burn that silly bible that ain't a bible because it teaches by the way on the first page of the introduction the fatherhood of god and the brotherhood of man which means that god is everybody's father and everybody is my brother and sister that is not true if that's true jesus was a liar and there was no need for jesus to die because the only people that have god as their father are those that have been born again by the grace of the gospel not everybody's my brother and sister in jesus only those that have been saved by jesus are my brothers and sisters ain't no fatherhood of god brotherhood that's in the first page of the introduction of the bible so do your homework before you argue with me so all i'm saying is some of y'all been through it renounce it renounce it in the name of jesus until the good old boys club you ain't coming back for their fish fry we'll have a fish fry up in here without sorcery so look i don't know where any of that came from tonight that was not in the notes well none of it planned but i'm i'm just i'm i'm to the place now i ain't backing down no more i'm done with it he said i don't think he was backing down before i really ain't backing down now i i don't care i'm done with it something happened to me when they put me on that list something happened to me i'm telling you there's a divine bubble of protection over this tent over this campus over our houses no sickness shall come nigh thy dwelling i'm here to tell you greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world i'll still drive by that place in my barber truck and it won't bother me one bit i'm telling you renounce it i said you better renounce it you better announce that mess in the name of jesus i am not gonna allow witchcraft and sorcery to creep into this church i'm just not so i'm sorry if you've never heard a pastor like me but i happen to be a pastor that loves his sheep so much i ain't gonna let the wolves get them i ain't gonna let the lions get them i ain't gonna let the fake sheep get them we gotta call it like it is the bible said they got rid of their sorcery some of you just go home get rid of some stuff i know i know it'll cost us some influence oh i can promise you this one will not go unchecked i can get they'll let me get away with saying crazy stuff about joe biden still in the election which he did but they'll let me say things about abortion they'll they'll let me you know say things about you know don't take the jab they'll put up with some of that but you start stepping in their bedroom you start stepping in their cave you start stepping on their dominion and i'm telling you the things start coming out so i don't know who needed it tonight this ain't one of my normal sermons and i i ain't even looking for a place to land i'm just gonna quit i don't need a place to land people keep saying all the time operating that gift to the prophetic operating while i'm operating in it right now because i'm prophesying to you right now that stuff's from hell you better get rid of it and i know i know for some of you like oh my goodness if i say that to my grandma don't say nothing just don't deal with it just get rid of that mess just quit placating to it quit giving into it quit justifying demonism come say something if you dance with devils they'll keep playing the music you dance with the devil and he'll keep playing the music for you he'll let you do it i ain't dancing with him we started this church 15 years ago with six people look what god's brought us huh look what god's brought us on a wednesday we should not have crowds like this on easter it's a wednesday so all that says this there's only one person in this church that i would ever be t totally over the moon crazy upset if they left and that's my wife ain't no seatbelts in this tent nobody keeping you here i want you to stay i want you to bring friends i promise i won't preach like this every sunday i won't embarrass you i know some of you like man i'd love to bring my friends here but i don't know what you're going to say i'm going to say the truth what i'm going to say i'm going to say the truth let me ask you a question if we had a witch doctor walk in the back door start shaking skulls and bones and start acting would you want me to call them out okay all it is just witchcraft repackaged denominationally i got pastor friends that are well i say friends i got pastor acquaintances that have had me in for meetings and found out that i was against the masons and wouldn't have me back for nothing because they won't call it out anybody ever grow up southern baptist yeah guess what i know about southern baptists the biggest membership of the masonic lodge is southern baptists 85 of masons are southern baptists i'm telling you i'm just stating some facts i'm just spitballing i feel like rapping i just feel like throwing down right now i can't even help myself it's 8 33 i got to quit i'm starving to death so i don't know i'm just saying just something that was not even the direction i was gonna go but spirit got all over me because look i just i'm not gonna allow it to creep into this church i'm just not i love you enough not to allow it so sometimes your daddy has to be mean right so sometimes the pastor has to get a little bit forthright and let you know hey no doors close you devil get out i like our tour get out devil get out nazis well we're gonna run the devil out of here some of y'all might need to stick around pray over this tent praise god because man when mason see it they're gonna be mad but that's cool yes he is bigger so i ain't backing down i'm sorry if i embarrass your friends i ain't backing down i can't i know too much i got too much word flowing in me man look i know i know you'll say oh do it do it i'm not but look i'm telling you right now even getting off this subject and getting on something else i promise you without missing a beat as hungry as i am and as tired as i am i promise you a dollar to a donut i could preach till two o'clock in the morning right now and never even never never even break a sweat hardly i don't know what's coming over me lately i'm just kind of talking right i'm just kind of chit-chatting i know i know it sounds so abrasive now people hate me online that's cool somebody got to say it somebody's got to say it's not polished you know it's not seminary cemetery it's not you know it's not real educated it's true it's true and so i say with paul and i'm done have i now become your enemy because i tear the truth have i now become your enemy because i tell the truth can't have it both ways you either love me for telling you the truth or you hate me for telling you the truth but in both cases i told you the truth whether you hate me or whether you love me i still told you the truth and that's what matters at the end of the day if you believe it shout amen father in jesus name we thank you for the power of the holy spirit protect us tonight lord i do pray that you would help us to be strong and bold and resilient baptize us in boldness don't let us back down we ain't backing down none of them none of them none of us i don't get the republican i don't care if they're democrat i don't care if they're masons i don't care for shriners i don't care if it's the church of satan i don't care if it's an abortion clinic i don't care if it is the fraudulent president of the united states it makes we are not backing down lord we ain't i'm just now getting bold i believe our church is just now growing because lord when we can break through the nonsense we can get the real sense the sins of the holy spirit and i think there is a lot of churches don't see miracles signs wonders salvations baptisms and healings is because we got too much damning up the flow we got too many kinks in the holes and some people tonight need to go
