you for being online watching us you may be seated if you're able you can run otherwise amen folks still coming in lord's filling the place up and i'm excited about that somebody gave me a sign this morning in the meet and greet line i'm hanging up my office today and uh it has the big f u says fired up isaiah 61 1 amen so we left it up here he's god we're going to stay fired up god is good church but things aren't good god still is amen and god's doing a good thing i want to give you a beautiful report and some other things i'll talk to you about during the message because it fits the context but uh how you know we've been praying for a long long time for land expansion and we started talking about it just two and a half three weeks ago in fact about three weeks ago three sundays and we told you that we were finally able to get in contract with the land over here and we got the land behind us and so we got in contract for the land beside us and it would give us kind of the remaining 15 acres of all of it and we've had people say this is the worst spot in wilson county and that's why god's doing it right here on this rock amen jesus said i'll build my church upon a rock so we'll take all the rock we got in wilson county because jesus is the rock amen and so we got in contract for a million and thirty thousand dollar deal with no money whatsoever amen because we knew if we made an announcement without being in contract some of these neighbors are going to get a little snakey on us and try to buy it out from under us they got more money we do but they got more money than god does so i i just want to let you know although it took a little longer than we thought it took a couple of days extra and a little bit more headache a little bit more heartburn and a couple hours of sleepless nights and a little bit more painstaking paperwork to god be the glory we paid cash and closed on all of it praise god closed on every bit of it 1.5 million dollars in the last three and a half weeks bought both properties paid cash for all of it i'm telling you god's still in the business and taking care of his stuff it ain't about our campus it's about his kingdom but i'm glad this campus is an extension of the kingdom church so praise god we got the whole ball of wax got one little sliver right here in the middle that a family's talking about one little tiny worthless sliver but the good thing is they can't really sell it out from under us because we got the whole thing landlocked so it's nothing but a little island sitting there all by its little lonesome and so i believe god's gonna give us that too amen and that'll give us full i don't know 16 17 acres whatever it is we'll have to measure it out but to god be the glory so that's a beautiful beautiful thing so i want to say thank you to everybody that sacrificed everybody that gave in-house and online and people mellowed in checks literally by the hundreds and uh the lord blessed in a marvelous way now we always are taking offerings for other people because even in the middle of raising all that money and buying both properties we still started by tithing that hundred thousand dollars that we had right out of the savings account and then over and above that we're still able to give so much more and we just we just didn't quit we just don't allow the the enemy to make us think that we can't by faith believe that god's going to continue to stretch us and grow us and do things if listen if it doesn't stretch you it's not faith it's fear right so it stretched us but we kept giving it we didn't miss any payroll didn't miss any bills and still paying all of our obligations and things that need to be done and so in saying that here's what today is right we didn't even take an offering this past wednesday a few people gave but here's what today's offering is because normally we're taking offerings for other people so it's been weird for me the last couple of weeks but to god be the glory i mean who who raises that much cash in just a few weeks right god does that's who does and so we don't have any debt don't want any debt and so today is literally in-house and online today is start over offering right it start over offering because god brought us right down to the wire savings account checking the whole deal and so he allowed us to be good stewards of literally every check dollar and dime that came in i know there's churches all over america that just sit around on millions of dollars for nonsensical reasons but we don't we give it away and we use it for the kingdom amen and so what we give today is restart offering just kind of get us back going again because we literally brought the thing right down to the wire so in-house and online globalvisionbc.com g-i-v-e give you'll see the link pop up there on facebook and youtube and so whatever we give today is gonna just restart global vision we know god's gonna give us a good offering we know he's gonna bless not only right now in the room but also online people still sending in checks every single week people give checks to this church in the mail just as faithfully as some of you will drop them in a tv bucket here in just a minute it is beautiful the outreach that the lord has given us the growth that we've seen both on campus and around the campus of the world amen it's just been absolutely beautiful and so we want a good offering today and so let's sacrifice let's dig deep we don't know what god has us given to next or by next or purchasing next whether it's that land or whatever it is but we know god is going to get his glory and we know that we will not have an unpaid bill that has god's name on it if we'll just be faithful good stewards of all that he's given us amen and so we give give give give give we pay for what needs to be paid for we don't sit around a bunch of money so this is restart offering today to kind of start us all over again and kick us back into high gear so we can continue to get be the most benevolent church you've ever been a part of i tell our kids when we go to a restaurant i don't want you to learn from me and your mother how to be the most generous people in the room i want you to be the most generous people on the planet at any given time and i want this to be the most generous church that any of you have ever been a part of in-house online i want people to walk away from global vision and say those people are not so crazy fall down the steps schizophrenic about giving god's money into god's ministry amen we'd love to do that and so let's be faithful today we know that god's going to meet every single need the ones we know about and the ones we do not and so today literally is start from scratch offering and i believe god's going to bring it in to god be the glory great things he have done he's doing some beautiful things around this campus people still driving in people still getting here to park and we're excited and one of the things i guarantee you we'll have to use some money for us we need some more chairs amen that's a good problem to have amen in this big old tent but we're gonna have to buy a whole lot more chairs and reconfigure some things and so if you want to buy some chairs today you can put it in there mark your check for chairs but god is doing a great thing and he is getting glory and i'm convinced if we'll keep giving him glory he'll keep pouring it out amen church he'll keep doing it so let's pray father in heaven we come to you in that name that is above every name the name of the lord jesus christ and we pray father that you would release us right now in a spirit of gifting and generosity lord whether we have the high end gift or not i pray all of us would be obedient to give today that father in this room and online and all over the world you'd release us right now in that spirit of benevolence in that spirit of sacrifice so that your campus your kingdom your church can continue to plunder the gates of hell and father we thank you that you now allowed us to have that property next to us and behind us what a blessing to god be the glory great things you have done lord they told us for a long time your landlocked ((music playing)) ((music playing)) and all the resources to cover you're gonna provide all the chairs you're gonna provide everything that we need for life and godliness so i pray right this moment whether we're in this room or watching online the lord you nudge in our heart right now the number that we need to continue to dig deep and give so the expansion of the kingdom of god can continue we're reaching people all over the world that we know not of but you keep good notes you're a good record keeper lord and we thank you for that and one day when we cast our crowns at the feet of the lamb and say thou art worthy he that redeemed us back to god again out of every nation tribe kindred language and tongue lord there will be people in line that we reached and didn't even know it that'll say thank you for giving thank you for fasting thank you for praying thank you for preaching thank you for prophesying thank you for staying open thank you for standing strong so father i pray that you would increase the influence and the voice that you've given us exponentially a thousand fold bless this offering we pray in the mighty name of jesus we ask these things and the church shouted amen god bless you as you give ((music playing)) i'm pretty fired up myself so fired up i just turned my microphone off let me tell you something it has been such an amazing couple of weeks and we're getting ready to do this song which god always does a new revelation every time i sing this song in worship ((music playing)) and when the bible talks about being in a consuming fire he's a consuming fire because fire spreads have you ever noticed ((music playing)) how fire can catch just so quickly and this song really addresses our identity ((music playing)) and realize who he created us to be and then calling that out of other people calling that out of our unsaved you are saved calling it out of our children you are you have a future in christ god has a calling on your life if we start speaking these things then that fire is going to spread ((music playing)) because knowing who you are in christ is the most important tool we have on our arsenal besides his word because if you're sick he calls you healed if if you're confused he says i'm not the father of confusion so then we can't be confused because he's our father if you're tired he says i hold you when you're weary if you're overwhelmed if you're burdened if you're struggling if you're poor he says i'm rich he is everything that we need and he has called us to be whole he has called us to be well he has called us to have joy the devil comes and tries to bring distractions depression confusion and god says i give you peace i give you joy so let's be fire starters let's stand up we're going to worship him this is an altar i love all this space here because if you have something you want to lay down at his feet at the altar in the bible you would build an altar for an event you would lay it down and then you'd that was it you built your altar sometimes god would burn it up with fire because he is all-consuming so if you have something you want to bring to the altar if you have something you want to let go we're going to worship together and we're going to be fire starters for christ it's not just a blue flame it's a it's a wildfire it's gonna spread it's already spreading can you feel it in your bones can you feel a new revolution of his church a new spirit of revival let that fire catch hold of your heart let it deliver you from whatever you're delivering from father we give you our worship father we know who we are in you father we know that we are called though we are already delivered that the battle is already won we give you all praise in our worship in jesus name amen ((music playing)) we worship you in this ((music playing)) place we give you praise ((music playing)) you unravel me with a melody ((music playing)) you surround me with this song ((music playing)) of deliverance from my enemies oh till all my fears ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) of ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) of god ((music playing)) you have chosen me ((music playing)) and i've been born again into your family ((music playing)) your blood flows and i'm no longer ((music playing)) foreign ((music playing)) foreign ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) ((music playing)) deliverance ((applause)) ((music playing)) ((applause)) come on ((music playing)) freedom ((applause)) right through my fears oh ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) yes ((music playing)) i am ((music playing)) come on cause we're no longer a slave to fear for i am a child ((music playing)) for i am ((music playing)) cause i am a child of god oh we're no longer slaves to confusion no cause i am a child of god we're no longer we're no longer ((applause)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) foreign foreign but no longer ((music playing)) ((music playing)) i don't know what your home life is like but you have a father in christ i don't know what your family situation looks like but you have a family in this room i don't know what you're battling but he is the overcomer he is the answer ((music playing)) he is the reason ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((applause)) we ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) let us ((music playing)) is ((applause)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) i am a yourself come on i am a child of god yes we of are we're full of faith hallelujah hallelujah if you're a child of god shout amen you may be seated all over the house if you have a license plate that says chan man we need you to move because uh the authorities have already been called they do not allow us to park on the road and our neighbors go nuts and they're looking for any opportunity to shut us down and so the staff and volunteers out there just sent me a word and a picture and so if you have a license plate says chan man we will make sure that you get in a good parking space but we need you to get out of the road and if anybody else is parked in the road please do not do that i know we're full but we will make sure that we get everything cleared out within the coming weeks so we can make more opportunities for parking but uh if you have a chan man license plate need you to move all right mark chapter number 11 in the word of the lord if you turn there please mark chapter number 11. if you believe the word of god is going to change you today say amen i'm telling if you came here to hear from me you're going to be disappointed but if you showed up to hear from the lord i believe god is going to do some amazing things in your life and that is why we're here because we want to hear from the word of god mark chapter 11 is where we're going to be here in just a moment and uh i got some ringing up here guys you turn my monitors down that'd be super cool and uh as long as i can hear myself we're all good but you can turn those down that'd be great all right mark chapter 11 get a lot to chit chat about and i want to get you in and out of here before the rain comes but i'm hoping the holy spirit reigns shows up on us amen and does some amazing things in our midst and so thank you for being here we welcome all of our online people matter of fact you know it's hard for them sometimes to know how much we appreciate them and many of you are here because of that and you made your journey here because you've been watching but uh let's welcome our online community today amen thousands and thousands of people watching all over the world and we honor them we say thank you so very much from the bottom of our heart for being here one more thing i want to do that we don't always get a chance to do i know pastor john shattered out a couple of states if you are not from the great state should be if you are not from the great state of tennessee and you have traveled to be with us today from another state stand up all over this tent all over the house stand up if you are not look at that that's one of the biggest delegations we've ever had from out-of-state people in one service thank you so much for being here wow that is beautiful i'd love to see that in the name of the lord amen all right you may be seated mark chapter number 11 let's pray and we're going to jump in father today i pray that you would settle our hearts calm our minds ease our hearts and i pray right now for the course of the next few moments that we have together in this house that you would be glorified that you would be worshipped you would be adored you would be praised you would be fear we would be in all of the power in the presence of almighty god lord there'll be a thousand distractions that the devil will throw our way may we not pay one bit of attention to any of them may we focus on the bible may we focus on prayer may we focus on the preaching not the preacher and holy spirit i pray that you will do a work in this place whereby when we walk out of here the father will be so glorified it'll blow our minds do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask or think captivate our hearts and our imagination so that for the next few moments we can sit and not just hear but absorb like spiritual sponges the truth of god's word get your glory in this room and to all the people that are watching and we'll watch later we want you to be honored and we want you to change lives and we believe the gospel is still the power of god unto salvation so work in this place we pray in jesus mighty name and all of god's people said mark chapter 11 is where we're going to be jesus is in a very controversial place in his ministry not only is he busy not only is he burdened down by the people that are there feed us jesus help us jesus sign our bible jesus resurrect somebody from the dead g everywhere he goes as we often say it's like literally a stomped ant bed the people are everywhere but this is different because he's not just saying the right things and doing the right things he's in a moment he's in a climactic point of absolute controversy for which the church-going crowd is very very angry and how many of you know that some of the meanest people on the planet are church-going people i tell them there's times i'd rather preach in a beer joint than a baptist church ladies and gentlemen sometimes church people can be crazy jerks for jesus and may we not be baptized with that type of a spirit and so jesus is if you will fighting against this religious spirit that has crept into his culture and no doubt controls the culture in which we live but i want you to notice some things that begin to happen look if you would please mark chapter 11 towards the end of the text verse number 27. so just after he preached a very controversial message it says and they come again to jerusalem so he's going back for another visit he went the first time people were saved set free healed delivered the whole deal but he's going back for a return crusade and as he was walking into the temple there come to him and notice who showed up immediately in the service the chief priests and the scribes and the elders now we know that everywhere he went people were magnetized to the messiah they were the drunkards and the prostitutes and the the dope heads and the gang bangers if you will and jesus had no problem sitting down and breaking bread with these people because he came to give us all life and life more abundantly and jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost and jesus gladly ate with sinners but you'll notice the people that immediately were magnetized were the people that hated him the most the scribes the chief rulers of the synagogue the temple the religious denominational phd hierarchies that says how dare you show up and preach such a truth how dare you free our people from bondage and by the way you know why churches get mad when churches like us stay open and it seems to shame them because we show them that the low down sorry cowards that kept their churches closed didn't have a message to propagate and preach to begin with and we've made them look bad but i'm not gonna let them shame me into closing this thing down i'm not gonna let them shame me and bully me in a corner of silence and say oh my goodness you are just far too demonstrative i ain't even got started yet ((applause)) if you think round one brought out a baptism of boldness you wait your round two show they ain't seen boldness yet they ain't seen boldness yet and so listen it's gonna be them scribes it's gonna be them chief priests it's gonna be those elders you see they had the people under their thumb they had those people under their domineering denominational control and when jesus showed up he brought freedom how you know jesus still brings freedom say amen a lot of times we preach on freedom from addiction freedom from meth freedom from crack freedom from prescription pills freedom from vaping freedom from smoking freedom from chewing freedom from drinking freedom from all those things you better know jesus brings freedom from religion too ladies and gentlemen i ain't bound up and wound up in man-made traditional religion that makes you perform perform or do this and do this and do this jesus already did it shout amy and he already did it church so jesus just does not bring addiction as far as bondage and freedom is concerned he brings you into freedom out of the bondage of nonsense that man has laid upon you and given you burdens that they themselves don't even carry and obey and so jesus is about to find out that the people that hated him the most could not turn their face away and the people that did not like a word that fell from his lips never missed a public sermon they showed up at every tenth meeting they showed up at every house gathering just to criticize they showed up at every temple they showed up at every church and they were there for one reason they didn't want to see converts they didn't want to see healings they didn't want to see baptisms they didn't want to see deliverance they didn't want to see victory they didn't want to see things progressing successfully and moving forward they were there for one purpose and that was to criticize what god was doing and might not just go on the authority of the word of god and be rather demonstrative and greg luck about this thing if the only reason you show up at this tent and this church is to criticize we need your seat you can leave any time you jolly well please we ain't got to ask your permission to worship god around here we ain't got to do it the way your grandmama did it and the way your paw pal did it i'm here to tell you this ain't a white church this ain't a black church this ain't just an american church this is god's church and we're going to do what the holy ghost says we don't care what the rest of them think and i promise you we don't give two flips of a wooden nickel what the government thinks about us keeping his church open ((applause)) i'm not asking nashville what to preach i'm not asking murfreesboro what to preach i'm not asking detroit what to preach i'm asking the holy ghost what to preach we do not need man's permission to do god's work that'll make a good shirt right there you can tweet that amen we do not need man's permission to do god's work and we got too many cowards that are pretending to be shepherds that are standing up asking other people what are we supposed to do next you're supposed to go with the wind of the holy ghost is what you're supposed to do you just go with the flow and you better know there's some flow going on in this place so that's just the first verse we gotta preach verse 28 and say unto him watch what their criticism was by what authority doest thou these things they're like wait just a minute sir let's throw on the theological jake breaks and ask you a question who gave you authority to heal people in your own name in that weird we don't heal anybody in our name we heal people in jesus name jesus he had pippa in his own name jesus show up late hands i'm like in my own name come out devil in my own name cancer go in my own name divorce you've got to flee in my own name addiction you've got to run in my own name we do it in his name he did it in his own name so that freaked this crowd out a little bit and they said unto him what authority do you have to do these things who gave thee this authority to do these things they're like who died and made you pastor who made you el capitan mr president who made you the messiah well god did because he was the messiah right but they didn't believe that they wouldn't adhere to that they wouldn't submit and obey that fact and so they said we'd like to know just one thing who gave you the keys to the kingdom jesus who do you lottie da da think you are to show up here bow your back like a benny rooster and tell us that we are wrong and that you are right who do you think you are who gave you such authority i love what jesus does jesus did something that my grandfather used to do before he went to heaven and it unnerved me he would answer my question by asking me one that seems weird and proverbial doesn't it but it's very wise it makes people think we have to do some spiritual inventory so jesus before he gives them an answer which he very readily does not give them at all because we know the answer he asked them a question that they're going to have a very very difficult time responding to publicly so watch this verse 29 jesus answered and said unto them i will also ask of you one question let me stop look at me for a second quit all this nonsense of thinking that all the red letters in your bible were casual willy-nilly culturally appropriate politically correct foolishness in which jesus never offended anybody i don't know what you're reading but it ain't a bible jesus said stuff to take people off on purpose did you know a lot of the red letters in the bible would get us in a whole lot of trouble in non-red letter churches these days i ain't talking about greg letters i'm talking about red letters people out time say will i tell you one thing if you'd preach more like jesus people would like you if i preach more like jesus more people would hate me than actually hate me right now because jesus had some stuff to say well you know you just you just need to stay away from all the hot button issues the church in america is in a mess right now because the pastors have stayed away from all the hot button issues and we've refused to say what needs to be said you know it's shocking to me how many people are okay with where the church is in america right now how many people are cool with it how many people are legit with it and how many people try to justify it you cannot justify stupidity remember a couple weeks ago i called it the real bs biblical stupidity i don't care any way you slice it any way you dice it any way you roll it you cannot justify what the church in america has done to the church in america you can't justify it you can't justify it so jesus said some things sometimes that just unnerved people and don't think for a minute we don't do that around here on purpose huh i tell we about to have a good time up in this house i'll preach whether you clap or not praise god cbs they said well you know we just we're concerned i bet you are i'm concerned about that documentary dropping next month before he's gone they said we're concerned that sometimes you get caught up in the heat of the moment and say things you don't mean i said you asked wayne he's sitting there i said that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard i said i do not get caught up in the moment and just say things have caught i said i so believe in the authority of the word of god that i create the moment because i know what people need to hear under that tent what people need to hear in this church i'm very calculated in every word that comes out of my mouth so you can take it to the bay if i say it from the pulpit there ain't no reason to try to get me to apologize for it i've done thought about it before it came out of my mouth and jesus said i'm gonna ask you boys a question that's gonna make you uncomfortable jesus got people's dander up he ticked neighbors off too he made church people mad by the way can i say something this is beautiful some of you can attest to this for being here today and a lot of you online thousands of you can attest you know everywhere i go everywhere i go without fail without exception without question especially here in the hospitality team you know i have ladies that'll walk up to me and say my husband is as unchurched as the day is long and he loves you you're the only guy that my husband will listen to preach the i like that man that's like a badge of honor for me my husband hates church but loves global vision you know why because your husband for a long time set under some limp wristed man mandy pamby individual that was afraid to say what was real and afraid to say what was true and he thought all preachers were that way well you got the wrong one if you thought i was going to be that way let me tell you what men want men want to be led by a man thank god for godly women thank god for women that stand up and do what's right but it's time for me to stand up and do what's right for the kingdom's sake and some of you women need to allow your husband to lead shout amen ((applause)) and jesus said to himself to make people feel weird but notice this he said i'm going to ask you a question and answer me and then i will tell you by what authority i do these things he said you tell me the answer to this and i'll give you the answer you're seeking here's some shrewdness right here this wise right here watch this verse 30. the baptism of john was it from heaven or of men and then it's like wait for it wait for it he says answer me man that would just tear me up just hearing him say them two words answer me boy was your granddaddy like that don't you stare at me like a billy goat eating briars you answered me but yes sir i didn't know what to say and jesus like hey the baptism of john the baptist is who's referring to in the narrative the context was it from heaven from god was it justifiably biblical or was it from man was it just earthly was it just motivational nonsense was he just a guru that people liked and then he says answer me and he knew two things number one they wouldn't answer it and number two if they did answer it they'd be in a hook and a crook in a rock and a hard place so they begin to do a little back pedaling they're trying to figure out what they can do now they get what you hear me call the baptistic porky pig syndrome they don't know what to say they're like oh man we gotta go over here and confer we gotta have a little secret meeting with our little secret handshake so we can figure out what's going on and so they they kind of go over the side they're like oh and they reasoned with themselves because they certainly weren't going to make it public saying if we shall say from heaven then he will say you ever try to figure out what people are going to say when you answer them about something you ever try to get you know like three steps ahead you're not playing checkers and you're you're playing chess right you're like okay if i say this they're gonna say this if i do this they're gonna do if i go here that's what these guys are doing they're like uh we got to figure this out because if we answer this way he's going to say this but if we answer this way he's going to say this they reason amongst themselves saying if we shall say from heaven then he will say why then did you not believe him look man that is tighter and a tick right there they said well we're in a catch 22. they said we're in a conundrum we're in a bad place we can't answer yeah we can't answer nay we can't answer right we can't answer wrong we can't go up we can't go down we're in a mess we're backed into a corner why because if we say oh his baptism was legitimized by god and he was from heaven then jesus will say in front of everybody and embarrass us well why don't you listen to the man then if he's from god then why didn't you get baptized why didn't you follow the messiah standing before you that he proclaimed he had his head cut off for why didn't you listen to what he said well because they disregarded it and so they knew that they could not save from heaven because it would make them look like biblical denying fools which they were but then notice this they had another conundrum they found themselves in verse 32. but if we shall say of men watch please the next phrase they feared the people why they feared the people because all men in that context consider john the baptist to be a prophet from god which by the way they should because jesus didn't say he was a great prophet jesus said he was the greatest prophet ever born of a woman and i must remind you that the greatest prophet ever born of a woman got his head cut off for preaching two messages jesus and corrupt politics so la di da da on all these people that think i ought to shut my mouth and not say anything about the corruption of this fraudulent jack-legged sleepy joe fake president that we got in the white house you've got the wrong one if you think i'm gonna shut my mouth ((applause)) you got the wrong one ((applause)) you say well i just don't know if i'm gonna come back that's cool i ain't begging none of you i ain't begging none of you to come back i hope you do but there's some other good churches in this town that'll talk about some things but not this if you want to go there and feel a bit more comfortable i'm sick of being comfortable in church i like a little fanning hot we might need a few people just pass out of the heat probably just fall them out the cedar chips i like a little uncomfortableness in church i think over overrated things are air-conditioned and padded pews we've air-conditioned ourselves to hell we've patted you our kids to hell i think sometimes we ought to get uncomfortable i like saying things sometimes that make you feel like you got butter on your britches slipping around up in here and so they would not say well it's of men because the people love john the baptist and here's why they wouldn't say it they feared the people you know why some of you have finally broke out of organized nonsense and you're here under this tent because you no longer fear the people um by the way let me say this we the people are still the people huh oh they done figured out a way to keep me from doing that ((music playing)) i'd do it front ways praise god amen we the people are still the people and our problem is we make stupid willy-nilly casual decisions because we fear what people gonna think about us you know the most freeing day of my life was when i got to a place where i didn't care what you think about me anymore well if you say that you're gonna go to facebook jail badge of honor ((applause)) i wear a consistent ankle monitor from facebook and zuckerberg they cut off one head we'll grow 15 more in the name of the kingdom of god and the gospel of jesus they can't de-platform all of us at the same time and so it's a beautiful thing when you stop fearing what people think about you by the way i'm just going to talk for a minute because this fits the context really i don't know how much father we'll get but we'll get back to the bible but i got to say a few things because it's in reference to what i'm saying from the bible amen that's why some of you are so confused right now about everything that's politically happening in america you don't feel conviction from the holy spirit you feel pressure from your family and there's a big difference because when you obey the conviction of the holy spirit you are going to feel pressure from your family some of you have already felt pressure from your boss i bet you we send a hundred religious exemptions for this stupid vaccine every single week out of this ministry i'll send ten thousand them i don't care i don't care ((applause)) but you know why some of you are struggling with it you know it's stupid you know it's sheepish 99.9 survivability rate and you're gonna put fertilizer and rat poison in your bloodstream ((music playing)) ((applause)) i don't care what right-wing watching news max and newsweek and the rest of the crowds i don't care i think the same thing they want to i'm telling you i as a shepherd have a responsibility to pull out a shepherding stick and lead people not to the slaughter but to the promised land but you know why some of you are struggling with it because people put pressure on you and you fear what people think look somebody told me this this morning i'm just talking we might be here a minute but i'm just chatting somebody said this morning my boss is tightening the screws but i'm going to make them fire me if your boss starts this vaccine requirement nonsense make them fire you ((applause)) don't just walk away if you already did god make those leftist fools fire you and put it on paper make them fire you i'm sick of this bull crap i'm not playing these games anymore i don't care how much they come against me and you better know some they coming against me coming against my family like never before i'd have never imagined since last week's prayer meeting under this tent being number two on nancy pelosi's hit list i never would have imagined they'd come after me and my family the way they have it's sick it's demonic wicked evil nonsense i'm telling you if it wasn't for the protective power of the angelic host of god that had taken his church out a long time ago but greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world no weapon i said no weapon no weapon no weapon no weapon no weapon formed against you shall prosper he didn't say the weapon wouldn't fall he said the weapon wouldn't prosper ((applause)) he said the weapon wouldn't prosper you push back against this nonsense he said i don't think preacher's supposed to talk this way you got the wrong one if you think i'm bowing out of it i'm just getting started good i'm sick of it i'm beyond tired of it and let me tell you what i'm more beyond i'm more beyond tired of people in the church thinking it's legitimately okay i'm sick of that you better figure out who side your own i ain't talking about republican democrat they two heads of the same snake as far as i'm concerned i ain't got loyalty to either one of them wicked devils my loyalty is to the kingdom of god and the gospel of jesus christ i ain't got no political affiliation i ain't got no denominational affiliation i got a gospel affiliations what i got that's where my authority comes from that's where my power comes from that's where my boldness comes from that's where my courage comes from ((applause)) they can follow the lawsuits against our church they want to we'll win every one of them the name of god we ain't worried about their mess we ain't worried about their stuff but the bible says the problem is they feared the people stop that stop fearing people do you realize that this whole nation has been turned in 18 months in a way that it will never go back to normal and they are going to destroy this nation for your kids and your kids kids kids and we want to sit around sing kumbaya on a campfire have some preacher get up and just talk about well romans 13 says that that we have to submit to the governing ordinances romans 13 says that the government was given to protect the righteous and be an enemy to those that do wrong that's what the government's for that's what police are for that's what politicians are for they're not bought and paid for but here's what's happened the beginning days of the birthing pains of matthew chapter 24 have taken place in our lifetime i said the beginning i didn't say the fulfillment i said the beginning because we never would have thought parents would turn against their kids and kids would turn against their parents and bosses would turn against their co-workers and co-workers would turn against each other and pastors and people would turn against each other and in it interesting we can put up a sign that's down there that says do not wear a mask at our church and the left goes buckwild crazy but a large prominent african-american church in atlanta can tell people you can't even step on the property without a vaccination and the media is silent ((applause)) the media is the enemy of the people there is no doubt about that ((applause)) listen i know what non-fake news is and it's right here in the bible yes that's a book for me i stand alone in the word of god the b-i-b-l-e in this bible ain't no fake news in this bible that's some real news that's some truth news right there so stop fearing the people that's all free didn't cost you anything stop fearing them i'm gonna say something i was gonna wait but i'm gonna say something look you ever felt helpless let's be honest you want to know the most utterly helpless i've ever felt in 45 years of my life was two nights ago i say two months ago two nights ago all the men or a great number of 118 of them at the retreat but wasn't that a retreat too by the way amen i knew things were going to get dicey i know we online i knew things were going to get weird i just know how quick it was gonna get weird people think all the time well yeah why y'all got to have a security team at church because there's stupid people out there that hate the truth that's why crazy stupid people and it's not that they really hate us they hate the bible and they hate the gospel and they hate the truth so when you tell the truth and the bible and the gospel they'll hate you automatically but don't you worry and fret over that because jesus said they're going to hate you because they hated me first so you're in good company with jesus john the baptist and the minor major prophets ((applause)) so let me tell you why two nights ago i felt the most utterly helpless of 45 years of existence in almost 30 and a half years of preaching utterly useless powerless which sometimes a good place to be because you have to turn to the lord i flew down to savannah georgia the other day everybody all right just gonna talk for a minute we good i flew down to savannah and it was it was a last-minute flight i was going to drive didn't realize it was eight hours one way and i was just i was wore out from traveling and just you know we've been in the process of of moving and and all of that which comes at a great time as you'll hear so i'm preaching in this tent meeting a bunch of people showed up little bitty old town i mean jack spratt nothing there for 20 miles but people just showed up this little tent we had a great time lord set some people free and delivered some folks it's beautiful i grabbed something to eat i was going back to my hotel and i just i never i just i never traveled by myself so it just worked out i just guys were gone and i just i just got down there quick so i got some food and i went back to my hotel and i don't know nine o'clock 10 o'clock i was an hour ahead from here my phone started ringing which is not unusual my phone rings like 24 hours a day but it's 800 number oh that's weird i get them stupid robocalls like everybody else but i don't know i'm called after six or eight o'clock it's nine ten o'clock at night so i let it ring from and i thought i didn't go answer that so i picked it up and when i picked it up a text came through from my wife while i was answering the phone and i didn't get a chance to see what the text said i only got a chance to stay on the phone but i said wife i got these fires and hearts because i'm fired up heart-filled in love with my wife amen so it popped up so i saw that i thought well i'll check in a second and they said hey this is so-and-so alarm company we've just been alerted that you have an intruder in your house now let me tell you something if you ever hear that greg locke suicided himself don't you believe that stupid governmental bull crap had some freak car accident on old lead the dirt road died of natural causes in his sleep i'm healthy as a dadgum horse so you've watched all the movies about them false flag home invasions let me tell you how utterly helpless i felt when my wife texts me and said we've been watching this car parked outside look they knew my schedule they knew my older boys are going to be on a youth retreat and ben's retreat my wife and my youngest daughter home by themselves and they watched three or four times this car pull up look at his phone gps lit up she went out into the garage and got the pistols multiple out of the car ((applause)) no sooner she's felt the holy spirit since she got in house she shut the door no sooner she said i felt the holy spirit said turn the alarm on now the car pulled right down the road he got out beaufort within less than one minute maybe 45 seconds from the time my beautiful wife turned that alarm on they tried to come in through the downstairs the alarm company called and said should we alert the police i said they better be there right now is what they better be all the men were going i called brian i said you get in your car i said you get over to my house so lickety-split fast i said you come in wide open like barney five shooting a bullet if you i said you get up in there so i called my wife i didn't know she was on the phone with the police and they were saying let them get there and clear the house before you come out of the closet and my wife and my daughter were terrified in a bedroom closet with two pistols in their hand while these low down sorry people try to break in our house and intimidate us i was calling my wife and calling my wife and calling my wife and calling my wife and calling my wife and calling my wife the police wouldn't let her answer she hunkered down the closet brian showed up police everywhere guns drawn eight or ten of them running all over the house trying to clearly couldn't get in the door banging banging banging banging she's hiding in a closet with a pistol and a daughter i couldn't get her to answer the phone i so freaked out i couldn't see straight i was eight hours away no way to get home i was about to steal the rental car and make it home i jumped in my knees in that bedroom of that hotel man i threw up my hands and i said god i don't know what the world's going on in my house i don't know what's happening with my wife and my daughter lord right now i pray in the mighty name of jesus that you'll dispatch a host and a legion of angels to protect my wife and protect my house and protect my daughter don't you let them mongols do anything to my wife and kids don't you let them get in vandalize our house brian called me i said you better call me the second you roll up on a half a wheel up in that parking lot he called me he said they can't get in i said put it on speaker phone i said you hear me deputy kick the flipping door in kick the door in finally she answered now let me tell you something i don't i don't need a bunch of people in a meet and greet line oh i get it i don't say this for you sympathy i say it for your prayers my wife is hands down the strongest person character-wise and resiliency-wise i know i'm telling you you come get one of these kids should fight a buzzsaw bare-handed and whoop you in three seconds flat and then make a video out of it but i have never i've never sensed the anxiousness and the spirit of fear that's now trying to grip our family like i have the last couple of days oh she's cool it showed us number one that the move that we're making is right we knew eventually they'd find us if you think that was random you've lost your mind we got a little rental house right in the middle with big ol houses all around us if you think for any second somebody camped outside my house three or four times within a 45-minute period and couldn't figure out where they they knew exactly what they were doing so i'm gonna serve notice on all of them i'm telling you right now you better keep your hands off my family you mess with greg lock that's one thing you mess with my family that's a whole nother situation we are not going to stop preaching we are not going to stop prophesying we are not going to close this church we are not going to lay down i'm still going to talk about election fraud i'm still going to call out nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and these bunch of wicked demon-possessed child pedophile mongrels i'm still going to preach i'm still going to pray and i'm here to tell you you lay your hands on my family i'll send you to hell so quick your head will spin you better shout at this church this means war i'm not playing their game ((applause)) ((music playing)) i'm not playing their games ((applause)) so you security folks buck up you in for a ride but scott if we got a higher overnight security at this campus every night we will i don't care how much they try to vandalize us listen i can put up with this nonsense but they've gone to a whole new level whole new level so i'm just warning you right now if you thought i was allowed before i'm gonna get real loud now ((applause)) i said i'm gonna get real loud now i don't give two craps what facebook says about it don't care about twitter if you think it's about blue check marks and you know special favoritism towards a famous internet preacher you have all of it i'll burn all of it to the ground to tell the truth ((applause)) burn it all to the ground to tell the truth so what all that means i don't know except for that little phrase right there i can promise you it's not going to be in my family's vocabulary because they feared the people no absolutely not absolutely not you know sometimes i sit around in my office and we're all be in a meet-and-greet line especially when we're out about and going different places and i think you know why in the world has god seen fit to give us such literally a global we knew i had no idea 15 years ago that this will be prophetic a global vision a global network for the world and i started writing down names of people that i know pastors pastors you know why i think god's raised us up for such a time as this maybe you can add to the list not now while i'm preaching you can email us i cannot find 20 men in america that are pastors that are saying what we're saying i can't find 20 of them i don't think i can find 15 of them am i right pastor john he travels i don't think i can find 20 people on a good day that are saying the things that we're saying because they're just too controversial just just lay down just lay down look life's too short to die coward life's too short to die a coward so i don't know what happens next but there's never been a time under this tent or that tent or the other tent or the other tent or the other tent or the other building that i haven't told you things that's going on in my life i just get out in front of it when i got on the hit list they're like hey get out in front of it get out what we did so i'm just gonna get out in front of this i'm gonna just get out front of it so i don't know what we're gonna do from here i don't know where we go from here i'm still trying to process it i'm still trying to make sure my family feels safe and comfortable but look i'm in too deep turn back now i'm in too deep turn back now ((applause)) so i told you a long time ago i'm gonna be done maybe i told you a long time even monica talked about the the flame the blue flame right i told you a long time ago that when i had that dream and the blue flames started popping it was during a time of intense persecution when they were trying to shut us down and trying to silence us and i'm gonna tell you why a lot of people don't recognize the revival that we're in because it didn't come the way that you thought it would it's coming through the back door of persecution it's coming through prison time it's coming through broken houses it's coming through death threats it's coming through vandalism but it's here we can either embrace what god's doing or we can push back and resist what god's doing which a lot of churches are doing right now but we're just gonna have to embrace it we're just gonna have to embrace it and accept what the lord's doing in this place and no matter what the cost is if you thought revival was gonna be free no wonder you've never seen it revival is gonna cost you not just a little bit serving jesus won't cost you something it'll cost you everything it'll cost you everything it may cost you your life to save this nation for our kids ((applause)) it'll cost you everything so jesus didn't answer the question he already knew the answer to it was rhetorical so they got to the end and nothing was said about who gives you this authority and jesus looked at him you can read the text sometime and he said neither do i tell you by what authority i do these things jesus said look i got to tell you jack spratt he's like i don't fear you like you fear them he's like i'm not accountable to any of you i do not have to tell you one single thing and he answered them not by whose authority i do these things but i just want to say for sake of an outline we've gone a long time i'm not going to give it to you i'm just going to hand it to you and you can do it what you want to it's time to take our authority back church we've been given authority in the kingdom of god we've been given a thought hey the bible does not tell us to go around and pray for the sick it says to go around and heal the sick in the name of jesus christ we don't go around having conversations with devils we walk around casting out those devils in the name of jesus christ we will not fear what man can do unto us don't fear him that can kill your body but fear him that can kill both body and soul inhale the bible says so jesus said i'm not going to tell you about what authority i have because we already know the authority and we've got the same authority right now in this tent in this room and online here's the three authorities you have in your life you have the authority of the word of jesus you have the authority of the name of jesus and you better know as controversial as it is you have the authority of the blood of jesus christ what can wash away my sin nothing but the blood of jesus what can make me whole again nothing but the blood of jesus they can take it off the screens they can take it off the marquee they can pull it out of the song books but the blood is still powerful still powerful and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb by the word of their testimony revelation 2 11 and they love not their lives unto the death if it takes that we preach we preach the truth and we don't slack off ((music playing)) and they don't bully us and we don't give in to fear and intimidation we pray we fast we throw our shoulders back and we walk to the gates of hell and we rattle the devil's cage i said we rattle that devil's cage ((music playing)) ((applause)) would you stand with me please heads are about eyes or clothes all over the room everyone's standing everyone's standing if you're here for our baptismal celebration as so many of you are every single week i want you to begin to make your way down to my left your right come over there miss billy and the team will be there we'll get you your towel get you what you need if you're here to be baptized go ahead and slip out we may have some more converts that want to do that in just a moment i want to talk to you before my wife comes and prays you just begin to line up right now ((music playing)) all over this room there are people that have come to this place for such a time as this they're hungry for something and some of you know not what you are hungry for but you've heard that jesus died for you was buried for you he rose again for you because as we say we do not serve some dead jew in a palestinian tomb we have a risen savior he died for my salvation in romans 4 and he rose again for my justification if he stayed dead you're still in your sin the bible says but jesus did for you what you couldn't do for yourself he that knew no sin became sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of god in him jesus is not one of many ways or multiple ways he's the one and only way john 14 6. i don't ask you a question as we're about before the lord i wonder if there'd be somebody right here today you'd say you know what pastor i've heard the message i've perhaps heard this before or maybe for the first time maybe a thousand times of the very first time but today you know good and well that you're a sinner indeed of the grace of jesus you need to repent and believe the gospel he's the only way to the father the only way to peace the only way to joy the only way to real life transformation and change and i wonder right now all over this room 1 2 5 10 20 100. i wonder how many folks would silently but sincerely be willing to slip up their hand and say pastor lock i know what god's saying to me i don't want to go to hell i want to know my sins are forgiven i want to know jesus to be my lord and savior i want my sins forgiven i want to know that heaven's my home that christ is my savior i want to know that today not tomorrow night next week not on easter today you sir you ma'am you need to be born again today you know why you need to be born again because the first one jacked you up we're born in sin but you can walk out of here a saint in the eyes of god cleansed by the blood of his son the lord jesus if you need jesus today you need to be saved today you're willing to trust christ repent and believe the gospel right now sir right now ma'am all of this building wherever you are would you hold your hand up high quickly quietly silently but hold it up hold it up hold it up all over the building god bless you god bless you god bless many hands god bless you all over the room uh hold him up hold him up hold him up jesus said don't you be ashamed of me you may put your hands down and look at if you raise your hand look at me if you raise your hand look at me look at me only if you raise your hand look at me i don't have any pixie dust i don't have a hocus-pocus prayer that i can pray i can't sprinkle something over you i can't put you in the baptismal waters i can't do some hail mary full of grace no i can't do any of that and save you today the best you know how you got to converse with god call out to the father in the name of jesus to be saved so i want to help you not because i've got a magic prayer a prayer didn't die for you but a person named jesus did die for you and rose again and right now the best you know how i want you to bow your head and your heart before the lord and i want you to talk to god and i want you to mean it i want you to reverence and in fear and in awe repent turn from your way and trust him that's the only way and if that's you sir if that's you ma'am if that's you young person visitor member regular tinder in-house online then right now before god i want you to pray something like this heavenly father i know i'm a sinner and i know for my sin i deserve hell but i ask you lord jesus to forgive me of my rebellion and my sin i believe that you died to save me i trust that you rose again to give me new life and life abundantly and right now lord jesus ((music playing)) the best i know how i trust you and you alone to be my savior forgive me and cleanse me transform my life and i trust you and you alone to take me to the kingdom of god when i leave this world now as we're about before the lord let me ask you a question between you and god between you and a friend you and a spouse whoever's there we want to rejoice with you today the bible says there's rejoicing in the presence of the angels it doesn't say that the angels rejoice it says there's rejoicing in the presence of the angels because angels don't know what it means to be redeemed but sinners do and if you today have joined the ranks of those of us that have repented and believed the gospel and you prayed to trust christ right now sir right now ma'am all over the room quickly hold your hand up high you say i pray i trus god bless you god bless you god bless you many hands all over the room god bless you hold him up high hold up rejoice church rejoice church rejoice church you know why a lot of churches don't see this because god will accelerate what we celebrate and if we celebrate it god will accelerate it we've got a whole lot of people getting ready to follow the lord in believers baptism i said believers baptism if you got saved today hey look you can wait till next week you can wait till wednesday you can wait a month to be baptized you're as saved today as you ever will be but some of you will give you a towel you can figure it out pull your shoes off walk over there get in line and follow jesus don't be ashamed of him before men don't be ashamed of him in this tent don't be ashamed but i want to say this i wonder how many of you that are saved you're carrying something real heavy today i don't know if it's a sickness i don't know if it's a financial burden i don't know if it's a threat i don't know if it's a job situation something we talked about or a thousand things we didn't but the holy ghost did i wonder right now i wonder if we wouldn't have some leaders in this tent that right this very moment would be willing to slip out of their seat and come down to this altar and let some of our prayer warriors and some of the men and ladies on our prayer team lay hands on you and pray for you and pray with you and pray over you i wonder how many of you right now should just be willing to drop all pride and sense of selfishness and just slip out right now and say i gotta have some help i gotta have some strength i gotta have something from god i need to be baptized in boldness in the name of jesus all over this room i just want you to begin to come just want you to begin ((music playing)) i know sometimes we can feel like we've been put in a vulnerable place and we can just stand still and we could stand there and we could think to ourselves man i really know that i need to go up there because i'm carrying something so heavy and i just need to lay it down and it causes us to get out of our comfort zone right but listen church if there's any place that i could tell you that is the best place to be it is out of your comfort zone the bible tells us in the book of peter to grow in grace you know what that means it means that we have to allow seasons in our lives we have to allow situations in our lives to grow us because if we're not careful we won't face those things head on and they'll become a root of bitterness in our lives and then it's going to destroy everything around you every relationship you have every place of employment that you go to every church that you go to every friendship that you have and it's all because we're not willing to get out of this place of comfort we're not willing to be put in a place of vulnerability but it's a beautiful place to be because i'm going to testify to you today and i'm going to tell you that transparency in your life will disarm the enemy in your life it are it's the things that you refuse to deal with it's the things that you refuse to seek help for it's the things that you say to yourself i can't go up there and have somebody pray for me because what are they going to think of me who cares what they think of you fear not their faces this is where the spirit of the lord is and there's restoration here available for you there's boldness here available for you there's freedom here available for you you really can come and lay it all down at the foot of the cross because i hear the spirit of the lord saying to me right now that there's some people in the room and you feel like this is your red sea moment right i feel like in my life this is my red sea moment and i see the red sea before me and the enemy is encamped all around and i'm like lord what am i gonna do what am i gonna do and then he reminds me that he's the same god yesterday today and forever and that he's going to part the red sea and that i'm going to walk through on dry ground and i feel like today that you need to know that it doesn't matter what you're facing it doesn't matter all the people in their faces that you're looking at there is freedom in the lord jesus christ there is deliverance in the lord jesus christ there is restoration in the lord he will call home your
