Yes. Heat. It's true. We glorify you Yeshua. I just want to speak the name of Jesus. over every heart and every mind.

I know there is peace in your presence. I speak Jesus. I just want to speak the name of Jesus till every dark addiction starts to break. Declaring there is hope and there is free. I speak Jesus for your name is power and your name is heal and your name is life.

Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadow burning like a fire. Many know James as a worship leader, but many are still learning about our work that we do with young people. We have a recovery program for high school and college age youth. And we just opened up three women's homes in Lexington, Kentucky.

We're building a a recovery place for our guys in Hot Springs as well as a music arts program. In fact, if you want to help support that, we got merch in the back. You look good and get some bucks and help me rescue some kids off the street.

Amen. But um but I've seen the power of God break fit lawn and break heroin. Before I knew that there was a clinical way to do it, I just knew the name of Jesus. >> It's what my mama taught me. You get anointing oil, lay hands, and tell the devil, "You got to leave this body in Jesus name." >> Hallelujah. >> So I celebrate with you this new place, this new precious facility the Lord has given you.

And I declare many deliverances from addiction, from brokenness. Come on. This would be a hub of healing and deliverance in Jesus name. And anybody in the room that's got somebody in your life, you got a son or a daughter that's struggling that's that needs deliverance, I declare that this is a house of freedom.

This is a house of victory. And for not only for this, if you're a part of this church, not only is it for this house, but for your house. Come on. Victory is in your living room. Come on. Deliverance is in your kitchen. Come on, somebody shout hallelujah.

As for me at my house. >> So, I want you to help me make this declaration one more time. I just want to speak the name of Jesus over fear and all anxiety. Come on, sing it again. Sing it again. Sing it again. I just want to speak in the name of Jesus over fear, your anxiety >> to every soul held captive by depression.

Come on, I speak Jesus. Come on. For your name is power. Your name is healing. Your name is life. Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadow burn. Jesus from the mountains. Jesus in the street. Jesus in the darkness for every enemy. Come on. Jesus for my family. I speak the holy name.

Jesus. Jesus from the mountain. Jesus from the mountain. Jesus in the street. Jesus in the darkness over every Jesus for my family. I speak the holy name. Jesus, your name is power. Your name is power. Your name is healing. Your name is love. Break every stronghold. Shine through the shadows. like the fire.

Oh, your name is power. Your name is power. Your name is healing. Your name is life. Come on, lift your hands on this. Lift your hand and say, "Break every stronghold. Sh through the sh. Come on, shout name Jesus. The name that breaks every yoke. The name that brings healing, the name that brings deliverance, the name that is our strong tower.

No righteous man runs into it and he is safe. >> And that name that demons tremble in front of that name is what saved us in the power of the Holy Spirit. >> Hallelujah. Give the Lord a clap offering. He is worthy. As you are standing today and we're worshiping God, we're praising God.

We are reminded of the promise and the promise that Jesus gave us that in the last days, he will pour out his spirit on all flesh. We are reminded of the assignment Jesus has given to us. And that is not to build buildings and start YouTube channels and to build Facebook pages, but to win souls and make disciples.

He said, "This power will come upon you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea. You will be my witnesses in Samaria. You will be my witnesses in Yaka, in Reton, in Everett, in Spokane, in every part where your foot will step in." Hungry Jen has a vision and that is to lead people to encounter God daily.

But as a church, we are intentional to reach the next generation. As a church, we have seven unique characteristics. Our first one is prayer and fasting. >> The second one is to win souls. If people don't get saved, if the lost don't get saved, we are lost. The third one is we make disciples.

It's not about events. It's not even about conferences. It's not about buildings. It's about making disciples. The fourth one is we confront the demonic. We cast out demons. We don't hug them. We don't console them. We drive them out. >> The fifth one is we expect the supernatural.

We believe miracles are for today. >> And we don't have to be weird about it, but we can be wild about it. God still does miracles. Our sixth unique characteristic is that we raised next generation. It started with my uncle, my pastor who started to empower us at a young age.

And you're seeing young people today at this altars. You're seeing young people. We are reaching about 22 schools right now every Tuesday in the state of Washington where they hear the gospel. In the last 12 months, 1,000 students said yes to Christ in a public school. That's why you're going to hear about internship today because we believe that we have to raise the next generation.

If we don't raise them, we lose them. But our last unique characteristic is we call it thousands locally and millions globally. And it's not just a fancy word to talk about million subscribers. It's not a fancy word just to talk about that we want to be a mega church.

It is intentional that we have we are a local church with the global vision. Why? Because the Holy Spirit has a global vision. Now I know we're not in the best place maybe to have a global vision. Tri Cities is like an armpit of Washington. Most of you didn't even know this place existed.

And so this is not a destination, tourist destination that everybody wants to come and visit. But that doesn't matter. The question isn't how what's our population. The question is what is the size of the vision that God placed inside of us. So about two years ago, we launched our first campus outside of this church.

It was the worst time to do it because financially we needed finances. But our our approach was always this. We don't build buildings. We first build the kingdom. God takes care of the buildings. Last year another campus was launched was in Spokane. Let's go. And tonight we're going to be praying to commission and to release two more churches.

Let's go. And I want to present to you Pastor Rickard and Britney if they could come up. And they're going to be sent to Renton. Come on. And Britney, she grew up, got saved, got rocked in this house many, many, many years ago. And then her prince on the white horse, Rickard, cuz Britney always got those prophecies uh from Sweden who joined their team for some time already.

And the vision of this house isn't just to keep everyone here. We don't want to just count those we are seating, but it's those that we are sending. And so they already moved last month, well, this month to Reon. They don't have family there, but God's going to give them a family.

God's going to give them friends. And in just a moment, we're going to have people that will join them, come up on the stage. But until then, I want to also welcome Pastor Rudy and his wife Erica. if she if he and she can come up to the stage as well and they will be going to Yaka.

Let's go. Now, Pastor Rudy and Erica, they are from Yakima. Some of you might remember there was a tragic accident that happened to their son when he was on the way to the youth camp and he he died. So they actually that month or that season they were moving here because their son went through our internship.

He started to get involved and they already purchased a home and they were about to move here and this happened. And so they moved here, they stayed here, they've been with our team. But Yakima is one of the hardest places in the state of Washington. So is Spokane.

So we're not going to nice places. We're going to dark places. We're going to places that need deliverance, that need miracles, that need disciplehip, that need supernatural, that need a good Bible spiritfilled church, and need a man and a woman of God. Yakima is about an hour and 20 minutes from us.

So Rudy can always come back. Rickard and Britney cannot. It's a one-way ticket. Rudy has a back door. This does not mean that there's an excuse not to make it. But we believe that the Lord is going to bless. We're gonna have our first service in Reon on February 22nd and then we're going to start weekly services and then by September we're going to be doing weekly services in Yakima and God's going to move powerfully in our region.

So Rickard and Britney, we commission you to Reon. Go with prayer. Go with purity. Go with power. Go with shepherd's heart and a warrior's spine. May God give you favor with people. May God give you influence with the city. May your campus become a lighthouse to Reon and the surrounding areas.

And we're going to be praying for you today. If you can bring me a staff that the Lord, as he used the staff of Moses to do miracles, that God will give you a team. We're going to call it staff. That as you drop them, they turn into snakes and they turn back into staff.

That they will be flexible. That they will be powerful. Because our church is not built on a personality. It's always built on a team that God's going to give the same team that we have here even greater in Reon. The team that will split the Red Seas. The waters will come from the rock in Jesus name.

And I also want to invite the team from Renton if you can come up in just a moment. We're going to be praying for Reon. So we have people from Ron and then few couples from here. They'll be moving with them. Let's give them a round of applause as the staff is coming up.

Gio, are you going to rent? What's up? Okay. Did you just decide right now? Okay. Anybody else? Whoa. Okay. Okay. So, if there is anybody else from Tri Cities that you are going to go to Renton and you know now you were looking at this, you're like, I need to be part of that.

Um, if you're married, talk to your wife before you come up. But if you have that on your heart, you can quickly come up. This is going to be We are a missionary church. People ask us how often we go on missions. We are a church that does missions every single day.

We are missionaries in our nation and in our region. Washington is like a communist state and God brought missionaries here and we're the missionaries. You're the missionaries. God wants to change our state, transform our state. I know everybody's running from Seattle to Tri Cities area, but these people aren't going there because the cost of living is easy.

And it's not because the rain is not depressing. And it's not because we love traffic, but because God loves people. Come on, somebody. Rudy and Erica, we commission you to Yaka to go with boldness, to go with endurance, to go with love, and to go with wisdom. May God give you grace to build patiently and courage to lead strongly.

May Yakima encounter Jesus through your ministry. May salvation, deliverance, healing, and disciplehip be your portion in Jesus' name. We're not sending them with the applause. We're sending them with covering. We're sending them from the house that carries the grace to win souls and make disciples with the DNA to drive out demons. with the DNA to expect the supernatural.

With the DNA to raise a generation, with the DNA to win souls, thousands locally and millions globally as both of these couples are going to get on their knees. But before we do that, we're going to also give you a staff. It's the same size, though the staff behind you right now is going to be maybe a little bit smaller cuz nobody knew that Rudy's going yet.

But I want to invite his family if they can come up. And if you are from Yakima and you have a small group there and you're from Hungary Jen and you are from Yakima area, I want to invite you to come forward as well and you're going to stand together.

We're going to stand together with our family. We're going to stand together with the kingdom of God to see Yakima being not a gate for drug trafficking, but where angels ascend and descend, bring blessings, breakthrough, and anointing. Amen. Church, I'm going to ask you to stretch forth your hands and I'm going to ask the pastors if they can kneel and we're going to invite Kelly, George, our pastor Vasili, and I want to invite our pastoral team if you can come up as well.

And we're going to begin to pray. We're going to begin to surround them right now, and we're going to intercede that Reon, that Yakima will experience breakthrough. We're going to pray that God will give them staff, that God will give them resources and buildings, that God will give them anointing to break the gates of hell in those regions.

That God will help them to take territory for the kingdom of God in Jesus name. And I'm going to have Pastor Ilas start that prayer. And everybody else, I want you to stretch forth your hand. If you pray in your prayer language, this is a good moment to begin to intercede for them.

Let the spirit pray through you in Jesus name. Father, we commission Pastor Rickard and Britney. We commission Rudy and his wife, Father, to the word God into the city of Yakima and to the city of Reon in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Father, we send them out with your power, Lord.

We send them out with your spirit, Father. Lord, I pray God that YOU WILL MOVE MIGHTILY through them, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Father, I pray that they will go with your presence in Jesus mighty name. I pray that they will GO WITH YOUR POWER, LORD, IN THE MIGHTY name of Jesus Christ.

Father, that they will preach your word, God. They will teach and that they will demonstrate your power, Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, that they will equip the saints for the work of the ministry in the mighty name of Jesus. Father, I pray that your spirit will lead them.

I pray God that your spirit will go before them other sides and behind them God. I pray that you will guide them every step of the way in visions and in dreams. God that you will speak to them that you will speak them through your word God. I PRAY GOD THAT YOU WILL reveal future to them.

Lord what to do, how to do it, when to do it. God that every step of the way, every step of the way God WILL BE LED BY YOUR SPIRIT in Jesus name. Father, we commission them. We bless them, God. We send them out from this house, Lord, into the field in the mighty name of Jesus.

We thank you for their Yes. We thank you for their hearts of surrender, God. We thank you, Lord, that you are sending them out from this house in Jesus' name. Pray with me, church. Pray with me. Hallelujah. We commit them, Lord, into your hands. We give them to the power of your Holy Spirit.

We give them over to the anointing that will be rest on their heads, Lord. That will, Father, give them words that will break chains that will free addictions, Lord, that will break the gates of hell in that city in Jesus' name. Oh, we speak freedom to rent, Lord.

We speak deliverance to rent. We pray that angels will descend and ascend upon that place where they gather your name. Give the word Lord that breaks the chain, Lord, that sets the captives free. Open the eyes of the blind, Lord, spiritual and physical. Let there be significant healings that will come. but glorify your name and your name alone, Jesus.

It's your church. It's your ministry. It is your anointing. It is your word. And let it rest powerfully, Lord, upon this dear couple, their family, and all their supporters, Lord. And may this staff be a spiritual staff that will break the power of the enemy. Break the fangs of the enemy.

Break the teeth. And we give you all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise. Jesus in your name. Ladies and gentlemen, Hungry Jen Renton, Hungry Jen Yaka, and more campuses to come, more churches to come. The kingdom of God will be advancing. God will be raising up people.

He will be saving more souls. He will be helping us to make more disciples. Would you give the Lord a shout of praise? God bless you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I want you to turn to your neighbor. Give them a high five. Greet them. Turn to the person behind you in the front of you.

Say, "What is your name?" Introduce yourself to them. No. As you're going back to your seats, if there is a seat, if you can right away try to squeeze to the center so that our ushers could bring people from the overflow so that we can fit everybody that we can fit.

Today we want to take a moment and welcome everybody watching us on live stream. Drop in the chat or where you're watching from. Share this broadcast with somebody and in Jesus name. How many of you guys enjoyed the ministry of Eddie James today as he was leading worship, leading praise.

Powerful, powerful move of the Holy Spirit during worship. And as we get ready for the word, before we go into the word, uh, I want to just welcome Pastor Bryson. Give me a round of applause, please, for Pastor Bryson all the way from Spokane. He's our last campus pastor.

And we're actually going to do a special offering today. Today's offering is not going to go to cover the conference, though we still have some expenses, but we're going to plant churches. And so all of it is going to go to help us with the Yakima campus launch, with Renton campus launch.

And Pastor Bryson is going to share just a quick testimony as well. And then we're going to pray for the offering. >> Thank you, pastor. Exciting times. Amen. I want to share with you my testimony of growing up in this house because as you know we're going to be giving an offering and it's be going to go to church planning our campus launches.

I want to share my testimony because I believe it carries weight with what we are about to do in this moment. Some could be here for the first time and see Hungry Jen and all the things that are happening and think it's because there's they're riding a wave of popularity.

You could be coming here because you followed the YouTube account of Pastor Vlad. You could see some people in here that you follow on YouTube and and think that this is something that's just trending in this season. But my testimony carries weight to the fact that this house is truly a sending church. >> I came to this church when I was 13 years old.

Youth hear me. I was 13 years old when I got radically transformed by God at our encounter retreat. How many know the encounter retreats that we have here at Hungry Jen? God encountered me at an encounter retreat. my life and the direction it was going went a completely different way.

And not only that, we talk about disciplehip in this house. But it's not just something we talk about. I am living proof of that disciplehip. If it wasn't for Pastor Vlad and Pastor Ilia who built me, who broke me, who taught me and led me. Sorry, I'm starting to get a little bit emotional, but they trust me and they've empowered me.

And now I'm going I've been in Spokane and we're making disciples there because the same DNA that they poured into me, I'm pouring into others. I learned how to cast out demons in this house. I may not be in this building, but I'm part of this family. I learned how to heal the sick.

I learned how to prophesy. I learned how to make disciples and be a disciple. And I want to just present something to you, a thought to think about as we're preparing our offerings tonight. I look back and I know we're stepping into this new building and it's amazing.

I think about the sacrifices financially I've even made but sacrifices in other areas in this house and I can't help but look back and realize that as I was giving into this house I was also being aligned with my future and my destiny. And I wonder how many of you who are here today, as you're going to give, God is aligning you to your destiny to win souls and make disciples to rise up as pastor, as a prophet, as you heard over this house.

This is an Antioch church, this team ministry. This is a house that sends out people and are in fa are faithful in doing so. I wonder how many of you as you give this evening into the launching of campuses, you're actually aligning yourself to be the person who sent out.

I wasn't expecting it, but here I am today. I'm a product of this house, a product of the vision of this house. And God is using me far beyond what I could ever imagine. Church, I want you to take your offerings in hands. If you're going to give by envelope, just raise your hand.

Our uh ushers will meet you. You can give at hungrijen.com/plant. Or you can use the fancy little circle on the back of your chair. Tap to pay and it'll take you to the link. But I want you to take this seed in hand right now. And I want us to pray.

I want us to pray into the vision and the future of hungry Jen. I want us to pray into the your vision in your future of how God will use you in this house and how God will send you out from this place. As we do so, let's pray that God multiply this that whatever we give and even if today you're not prepared to give, I believe that God provides seed to the sewer.

And so maybe even throughout the week, there will be an opportunity for you to give into this. This is good soil. My life is living proof of that. church. Let's pray. Lord, I thank you for every person who's going to give tonight. I pray that you bless this this this offering, the seed into the future of people that will be launched out of this house.

Pastors, prophets, evangelists, teachers, apostles. Lord, I pray that as they give this seed that they're connecting into the stock of heaven, kingdom stock, and the kingdom building work that's happening in this house. I pray Jesus that you'll take it and multiply it. Take it and use it for your glory.

And I pray that every person who's going to give tonight, Lord, that you would rebuke the devour for their sake. I pray God that blessing and favor would come upon them as they partner with your kingdom work. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen. Amen. As the offering is going around, please help me invite Pastor Casey as he comes to the stage.

What an incredible testimony, Pastor Bryson, that he shared. We just want to take this time to once say welcome to Revival Week here in Tri Cities. Can we give a round of applause for Jesus, as Pastor Vlad has alluded to, we have something really, really exciting starting in 2027.

But before I share too much about internship, I want you to hear from a couple of our past interns. So, if we can welcome the first intern to the stage here. Can we give them a round of applause? Can you share with us your name, where you're from, and what year you came to internship? >> Yes, sir.

So, my name is Anthony Oawa. Um, and the year that I came for internship was uh class of 2019. Shout out to the best intern class. Come on, wherever you are. And I'm from the state of Connecticut. And Tony, can you please just share with us what your experience was like during the hungry gen internship?

Um, internship was beautiful. Listen, this is an apostolic house sending and training. I mean, like the Bible says, and they gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry and for the edification of the body of Christ. That was my experience here.

I was equipped, given valuable tools so that when I go back to where I came from, I could then expand the kingdom with everything that they gave me. And that was my experience. I felt equipped. My foundations were solidified. And just in case, sorry. Because you see, this generation, especially us young people, you know, we're at the whim of of of in an information age, a robust information age.

You have a lot of information coming at you, right? and and intelligence engineered from the demonic realm coming to try and subvert your destinies. Let me tell you, there's nothing more important than getting direction, getting words spoken over you, knowing where you're going so in case anything tries to subvert you, you can say, "No, I'm going to stay on the straight and narrow."

And that was my experience. And that was my experience. I'm here. I'm solidified and I'm grounded and I'm walking in my purpose. >> Can we give a round of applause for Jesus? Thank you so much, Tony, for And we'll welcome our next intern, past intern to the stage here. >> Can we give her a round of applause?

Can you please share with us your name, where you're from, and what year you went to internship? >> Yeah, I'm Hannah Ye, and I came to Hungry Gen internship in 2022. It was uh the September through through Interior. >> Awesome, Hannah. And can you please just share your experience with internship? >> Yeah.

First I want to say this is the most incredible house to be a part of and and it felt like coming home. So I live in South Korea right now. But I came back to celebrate with his house and because it's full of people who love Jesus. They understand that it felt like home to me because there's a house full of people that that understand home.

That's Jesus Christ. And so I feel so honored to have gone through the internship. And I went through internship actually looking for not more information. Um like Tony said, there's more information. There's information everywhere. I was looking to be immersed in a culture uh where I could actively live out the word of God.

And this is exactly what the internship provides it. I mean it was a a godsend. I came to Kasco with my family in faith actually just just wanting to learn by serving and then this opportunity was opened up to me um in an invitation because they were accepting people that were mature older so and and I was looking to be a quit because there were there were a lot of I was I'm als I was living in Seattle and you when you encounter the Lord you understand not only your eyes are open but your heart burns and you want to be more equipped to be able to be an answer to the cries that you see, you can't unsee.

And so I'm just so thankful because each person that I encountered that were hungry for God, all the leaders that poured in, there's just so much that I have received from the house through this internship. And and I have to say, you know, it's incredible to see the equipping of the saints and the the warriors that have come like that are they're actively doing the work and will of God.

And I'm grounded in the understanding that I can also continue being yielded and surrendered to him to do whatever he wants me to do and have confidence because I've been equipped by those who have gone before me are actively living in that way. So I just am I'm there's so much that I can share but I'm very thankful. >> Thank you so much Hannah for sharing.

God bless you. And we have one final guest that we would like to present and that is Dr. Dr. John Wheeler from Faith International University. Can we give a round of applause for Dr. John? Dr. John, we're doing something new this internship and that is with the partnership with FIU.

Can you please just take a couple moments to share about what that'll look like? >> Absolutely. you know, this internship, uh, we were at a pastoral conference with, uh, Apostle Lori, as you're going to hear from him in in a little bit, and I was told about an internship program that was the best on the face of the planet.

And as you've heard from these testimonies, that's what this is. We're not new to education at Faith International. Faith was founded in 1969 on the inherency of the word of God. Amen. That means that every single word in the Bible is true, and we're called to live it out.

We're called to be proclaimers. And that's what's being equipped and imparted into the interns in and through this house. But as I sat at that table at Pastor Lurkey's pastoral conference, this woman sat across from me and she said, "I'm sending my daughter to this place to this internship and I'm in education."

So I'm asking, I'm saying, "Where is this at?" And she said, "It's in this middle the middle of Washington." And I said, "Really?" Cuz we had just signed an articulation agreement with Hungry Jen. So I kind of had a feeling of where this was going, but I wanted to hear her say it. and she said it's actually with Hungry Jen and it's and she goes it's literally it's a transformation.

So I'm like starting to fill in her words, right? And it's literally if you have a desire for an internship that also is partnered with a university where you can earn college credit. Not only that, but have a full a partial scholarship towards this to where you can receive federal financial aid.

You receive college credit. And if you're a parent, you want your child to be equipped with the in the word of God and also receive an accredited education, you can send them to Hungry Gen internship and have them join us at Faith online or in person. >> Amen.

Thank you so much, John. >> Amen. >> God bless. >> God bless you. So, tomorrow we have a internship interest meeting at 1:00 p.m. If you tap that button that is on the back of your seat or on the front of the in front of you, all of the information will be there as well as building tours.

And so, the building tours you have to register for, but all of that information is there as well. But without further ado, I also have the privilege and honor to introduce our guest speaker for the night. welcoming Apostle Kelly Lurkey. His life is a powerful testimony to the transforming grace of God and he boldly proclaims that no one is beyond the reach of Jesus.

He challenges believers to live with wholehearted faith and uncompromising devotion. Apostle Kelly is the founder of the Cure Church Network based in Kansas City, Kansas. And for over 30 years alongside his wife Esther, he has faithfully pastored, planted churches, and raised up leaders with a heart for disciplehip, evangelism, and revival.

What began with just 11 people has grown into a thriving network of churches across the nation. Many led by pastors who were discipled and mentored under his leadership. He carries a deep passion for building healthy, spiritfilled churches that impact their communities for Jesus. As the author of Burn Your Ships and Punker the Pastor, he continues to call this generation to reject lukewarm Christianity and to pursue a life marked by truth, courage, and spiritual fire.

So, if you can please welcome Apostle Kelly to the stage. Come on, give the Lord praise. COME ON. HE'S ALREADY DONE SO MUCH. I SAID, "HE'S DONE SO MUCH. YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS." I KNOW WE SAY THAT ALL THE TIME, BUT CAN YOU TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK ABOUT THE DAY BEFORE YOU GOT SAVED AND THINK ABOUT HOW GOOD GOD IS?

YOU DON'T BELONG HERE. HE DIDN'T JUST SAVE YOU TO GET YOU OUT OF HELL, TO GET THE DEMON OUT OF YOU, TO GET YOU OFF DRUGS. HE WANTS US TO BE A PART OF WHAT HE'S DOING ON PLANET EARTH. I am so excited and honored to be here.

Please uh if sit down for a moment sit down. It It might be like the old Catholic church up and down a lot tonight. Before I even get into this, I'm so pumped. I've never felt so at home of the vision of this house, what our network does.

And I I do want to take a moment to honor Apostle Vlad and Lana. I'm serious. I know he's not he's getting used to that, but that's just a reality you're going to have to walk into because this is so much bigger. And and I'm a student of listening at stories.

And if it wasn't for pastor Vicili in Lubia trusting in a youth pastor who didn't want to do it, who wanted to get out of it and he beat you up and made you the man of God you are. And behind you is the result of your Yes.

It's not just a big church. People are not going to hell. And that's what this is all about. People are not going to hell. We honor you. My respect for you from a distance was always great. But the last couple years as we spoke for you to release spiritual sons and daughters that you could keep the best.

This church could be four or five times bigger if you kept your best, but you're sending them out to fulfill their destiny. I if you are a campus pastor or a pastor in here, give the Lord a hand clap for the spiritual sons and thank you for taking on the mission of pastoring and especially you that are going to cities.

Wow. I am honored. I'm honored. Brother Rick Hart and his wife had been to Kansas City. My network of churches love him and uh he paid a price. Didn't he get deported for a few years? That's right. He had to wait. He got married and had to wait.

And God's blessed him. So, I am honored to be here. And I I want to start off right here for a moment. I I want to break this mindset just for a second. This is probably not a message what God can do for you. This is a message what God can do through you.

We have enough of that for years. And you know, as we all watch the news and everything going on, there's chaos in our country and around the world. The answer is not going to be Republicans or Democrats. >> It's not going to be the nations. The answer always was and always will be Jesus Christ.

And the only Jesus this world's going to see is the one that lives inside of you and me. It's imperative that this generation, which I believe we are end times, that you find your assignment. If you gave your life to him, it's not yours. >> You You gave it to somebody.

It doesn't belong to you no more. >> It doesn't belong to you. It is imperative THAT WE NOT BE THE generation and pass it. Just settle for God's permissive will. It is time to seek God's perfect will. And I I'm very dogmatic about this. This is why I got saved.

And you'll hear about that. that yes, today people are going to go to heaven or hell by the decisions made at this conference. Not just the altar call for people to come forward, but what happens afterwards? The commitment, the covenant we make with God to say yes to your will.

There are people here that you've seen get announced. There's works that are out. I want to read a verse, then I'll read the story of it. The verse I want to launch off of is numbers 32:6. And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben.

Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here? Holy Spirit, I pray for your grace, your anointing, not only to be upon my lips, but to be upon the heart of your people. I pray in the name of Jesus, let nobody escape this building without knowing you as Lord or Savior.

And Lord, let no one escape this building, God, without finding purpose in their life and obeying it. Holy Spirit, go beyond my words, beyond everything happening today. Our hearts out, Father, that we live a life surrendered to you, God. And we say now, Lord, speak to us. And if you'd be so kind, use us, Father, to be a part of your kingdom in Jesus' name.

Amen. If you want to be used by God, give him praise. Th this is a scripture the second time about to enter into the promised land and they're on the verge of entering and now they've waited for many years for the 20 and older to die off that did not obey the first time and another generation has come up and they're about to accept the responsibility.

I I am I'm a well I believe the ills of society today like I said it's not the government's fault. It's not policy's fault. It's the church's fault. The church has not been preaching truth. It's been compromised. It's polluted and diluted the gospel. We've left things out because we want to offend people.

We put things in to appease people. And what we have is results of people don't know what sex they are. We have people that are killing babies. We have people that are confused, suicidal, strung out in fentanyl. people that are with such hatred in their lives. And the answer is Jesus Christ.

He is the cure for the world. He's the cure for racism. He's the cure for everything. And and we're living in that generation prior to us where we got a little bit seeker sensitive. We we got we want we're more fascinated about larger crowds instead of larger people.

And now God is getting ready to move the people of God into a new season. And I believe that new season is right here now. There are there was I don't know probably about several se was 2014 I think it was I was very frustrated with preachers and I know I'm older than a lot of guys.

My first time I've been the oldest dude on a flyer that was rattling. I told my wife look at I'm the old dude. And uh uh and then I seen guys I seen friends of mine that they became my friends. And I've watched these young generation guys that I was concerned about that were just felt like a show.

Then I see guys preaching righteousness standing up for God and said enough's enough. This is I'm tired of the hypocrisy. And I've realized there's a generation that's hungry for it. Truth. Truth. So Numbers 32:1 let me read this again. The tribes of Reuben and Gad owned a vast number of livestock.

So when they saw the lands of Jazar and Gilead ideally suited for their livestock and their herds, they came to Moses, Elar the priest, and the other leaders of the community, and they said, "Notice the towns of Assar, Derban, Jazzer, Nimra, Hispan, Ilia, Sabah, Nebo, and beyond. The Lord has conquered this whole area for the community of Israel and it is ideally suited for all of our livestock.

If we have found favor in your s in your sight, please let us have this land as our property instead of giving us the land across the Jordan. And verse number six says, "And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, shall we go to war >> while you sit here?

Why do you want to discourage the rest of the people of Israel from going across the land the Lord has given them? Your ancestors did the same thing and I when I sent them from Kadesh Birina to implore uh to explore the land after they went up to the valley of Ishko, they explored the land and they discouraged the people of Israel from entering the land the Lord has given them.

Then the Lord was very angry with them. And he vowed, "All of those who rescued from Egypt, no one who is 20 years old or older will ever see the land I swore given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for they have not obeyed me wholeheartedly." The only exception is Caleb, the son of Jeffna the Kisite, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

For they have wholeheartedly followed the Lord. This is an interesting story and I really feel the Lord on this of what's been spoken. I really didn't know I I had the great honor to be here this last year, but but I did not know the atmosphere of how this was going to play out.

But the last two nights, if you didn't hear them, you need to go back and listen. And if you heard it, you need to listen to it over and over again. There is a prophetic uncction over the future of this house that's going to shake the world. And it's going to be you sitting out there that's going to do it. >> I said it's going to be you sitting out there doing I don't even I'm going to be honest with you.

I don't care if you're not saved. You're going to get saved tonight and God's got destiny for you. these two tribes, Ruben and Gad, they they they they came all the way to the edge ready to cross over and and now it's time. And what happened was they it's a picture of compromise.

They're saying, "I I don't want to go over. I I I uh this is kind of nice where we're at." They wanted to compromise. It's it's a true picture of selfishness. disloyalty, half-hearted commitment to God and the will of God for their lives. The reason they did not want to go over is these tribes were the tribes that had livestock and the land, the Bible says, was good for livestock where they were.

Now, they know the consequences from their forefathers of not obeying God. They know the prophetic word and the will of God for all of them. BUT THEY SETTLED ALMOST DOING God's will >> but not all the way. >> See, we live in a mentality today that if we don't do it, somebody else will.

That's all right. They were settling a life of ease instead of fighting for God's will. And they asked Moses for a compromise. And in the compromise, they said, "Listen, we won't go, but I tell you what we'll do. We'll send our warriors to go fight with everybody, but our women and children will stay.

And once you guys win, we'll come back and stay on this side. Isn't it funny when the will of God looks hard and sacrificial in our lives? We always trying to find the easy way out. We try to find I don't know. Did you hear the prophetic word over my life last night?

Did you hear that? I'm supposed to crack a whip, so I'm going to get down tonight. All right. is it's going down. My this the first sermon preaching about the whip cracking. All right. These guys WERE SUPPOSED TO GO AND WHAT HAPPENED was they they they had cattle.

They they made a choice. It wasn't a good choice. They weren't even saying they're going to deny God. They didn't even say they were going to not, you know, help a little bit, but they just settled down. And their choice cost them something. Their choice demonstrated they weren't patient enough to fulfill the purpose of God over their life.

They weren't patient enough to fulfill their destiny. Now, when you first get saved, YOU KNOW, MY GOSH, WE COME EARLY. We leave late. We're excited. We're in the prayer room. We're getting a HOLD OF GOD. WE DON'T MISS NOTHING. We give like crazy. We're outreaching. And then, you know, we we hear messages like, "I'm going to do something for God."

But then time and chance happens and it doesn't happen the way we think it should or how fast it should. And sometimes we begin to settle short of what God wants for our lives. >> Here's the other thing is if they got impatient that this is not going to be an advantage to them.

You think, WELL, IF I DON'T FULFILL God's plan and I just STAY SAVED AND I JUST CHILL, that's going to be okay. Well, here's the problem. They meant well. The compromise sounded okay. But when you get out of God's will, it just it looks like a tiny little bit, but years down the line, I'm going to show you how far it goes.

Because years later in 1 Chronicles 5:25, THE PEOPLE OF THE TRIBES of Reuben and Gad and East uh the east Manasseh were unfaithful to God uh of their ancestors and they worshiped and they started worshiping the gods of the nations and the gods of out of Canadan and the king of Tigath uh of the Assyrians attacked them and made them prisoners.

So all of a SUDDEN BECAUSE THEY STAYED on the wrong side and they didn't finish their course, now they're worshiping the wrong gods. YOU YOU THOUGHT THAT JOB WAS THE RIGHT JOB. YOU THOUGHT THAT PERSON WAS THE RIGHT PERSON. YOU TRIED TO JUSTIFY instead of hearing from God.

You thought moving in that one place. I know this may sound dogmatic. IT MAY SEEM SIMPLE. But we as people of GOD MUST HAVE FIND GOD'S WILL ON EVERY STEP WE TAKE. EVERY YOUR CAREER, WHERE YOU LIVE, who you marry. I listen to me, single. If they don't want to do something for God and you want to, you can't do it. >> I said you can't do it.

Don't I don't care how good-looking she is or how good-looking he is. It ain't all that, man. And the Reubenites AND THE GADS, WHAT HAPPENED WAS NOW THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE BACK IN BONDAGE. THIS thing just goes out of control when they begin to compromise on the wrong side of the Jordan.

They didn't realize the long term effect how it was going to affect the generations to come. I have seen people come to my church serve God and I had this one particular family like the first year I was there. Great husband got a job making $50 an hour.

This was in 1994 93. Oh yeah. You liking that, huh? Yeah. Great job. But he's missing. He's far. Wife comes with the kids. >> They're doing good for a while. Then she just slowly stops coming. I I I wish this not bad. Anyway, this just I see this all the time.

Years go by, she stops. I just hear they're gone. There was adultery, divorce. Years later on Christmas day, I get a call. Many years later, their 8-year-old son got filled with the Holy Spirit in my church. God touched. And the mom tells me, "My son was killed last night.

He was birthday was on Christmas and he died on his birthday. He crashed his car in below zero weather and froze to death and died. Will you come do the funeral?" I'm I have no idea where they're at spiritually. I go do this funeral and right when I walk in, I see this casket graffitied with the most evil, wicked, demonic.

It's graffitied with nasty half crazy pictures of drugs and so forth. And I realized this kid's not saved. This kid is not right was God. And I just started thinking, I remember >> when they were doing so good and it pastor, I can give more, but it wasn't God's will. >> I know this bothers.

I know this interferes, but souls hang in the balance. LET LET ME show you something here about this group. Russell Johnson spoke about Mark chapter 5, the demonic man that was in the graveyard. Remember that >> if you read prior to that, the last verses of chapter 4, Jesus is preaching and there's literally thousands around him and abruptly in the middle of a crusade, middle of a conference, Jesus said, "We got to get in the boat and go cross the Sea of Galilee."

It's the story where they're crossing and then the tempest comes and his disciples are in the boat freaking out. Lord, don't you care? He rebukes the storm. Peace be still. What caused Jesus to leave the crowd to leave the prosperous church ministry of all these followers AND GET ON A BOAT?

Because Jesus didn't just say it's time to go. There's a reason he had everything. SO HE CROSSES OVER the Sea of Galilee, which you know it's not a sea, it's a large body of water. It's a lake. And it comes to this verse that we read the other night, Mark 5:1.

Then they came to the other side of the sea to the country of the gather. And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him a man out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit. He had been dwelling in the tombs. No one could bind him, not even with chains.

Because he often had been bound by shackles and chains, and the chains have been pulled apart, and the shackles have been broken to pieces, neither could anyone tame him. Always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs crying out and cutting himself with stones.

And when he when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran to WORSHIP HIM. HE CRIED OUT WITH A loud voice and said, "WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO? What do I have to do with you, son of the most high God? I implore you by God that you do not torment me."

And he said to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit." And he asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, "My name is Legion, for we are many." Also, we begged him earnestly that he would not send them into the country. There was a large herd of swine feeding there nearby the mountains.

And all the demons begged him, saying, "Send us to the swine that we may enter them." And once he gave him permission, uh the unclean spirit went out of the man. And there was about 2,000 uh went to the swine. About 2,000 the herd ran violently off the steep hill into the sea.

And those who fed the swine fled, and they told the city in in the country, and they went out to see what had happened. Listen carefully. Then they came to Jesus. They saw the one who was demonpossessed and there was had the legion sitting clothed in his right mind and they were afraid.

Then those who saw told how it happened and had been demonpossessed and the demons came to the swine and they begged and pleaded with him to leave the region. Did you know who these people are? They're the gadans. Do you know who their descendants are? The children of Gad.

You're looking at a long time out of God's will. >> You're looking at a people that once were hurting cattle and they've gotten so far away from God that they're hurting unclean pigs. YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOUR YES AND YOUR NO TO GOD AFFECTS YOUR family and your descendants. >> You don't realize, YOU DON'T THINK THAT FAR AHEAD in the selfish generation about YOUR CHILDREN THAT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE YET >> or your grandchildren. >> We live for now.

BUT GOD GOT OUT OF THAT AND HERE WE ARE. JESUS HEARS A CRY FROM ACROSS THE SEA OF GALILEE. IT'S A CRY OF A MAN WITH A LOUD VOICE. HE'S HOWLING AT NIGHT, HURTING. AND JESUS LEFT THE CHURCH, THE SAVED, THE FOLLOWERS FOR one miserable lost soul. >> Let me tell you why this story is kind of special to me.

I didn't grow up in church. I didn't grow up in church at all. I had no dad. Uh my dad, he is saved now, but my dad was uh he left us when we were 6 weeks old. I'm from Southeast Los Angeles. I grew up on Compton Boulevard.

Hey, Compton. I didn't think that was going to happen, but praise the Lord. I grew up in the southeast Los Angeles, and in the 80s when I grew up, drugs were everywhere. I mean, it was like there was no warning for anything. You had Nancy Reagan's Just Say No.

We said yes. That's what was happening. And it was a time of excess. And I remember age 12, my older my friends and their, you know, I I I didn't have no one at home. I was an only child. So I come home to an empty house. And of course, your friends find out the house is empty.

And you wait till your mom gets home. So they hung out. Time. I'm 12. I'm experimenting with drugs. 13. I'm getting high, taking pills. 14. I've already done opium and acid. And I remember my friend's parents got high. And I remember if the kids, my friend's parents knew they got high.

And I'm thinking, man, this is cool. I don't They don't hide. Everyone's open. So I decided I'm going to come home and tell my mom I get high. I'm 14. I came home. I said, "Mom, I want to be honest with you." I was so sincere. I pull back my bed.

I go, "This is my bong. I want to get high. I I get high. Mom, I want to be honest with you. I do this. I do that. And she's looking at me. The next day, I came home from school and my mom said, "Hey, we're going to go for a drive."

And my mom took me and dropped me off at a mental institution, not a drug rehab, a mental institution with adults, where I experienced some of the most ungodly things I' ever seen in my life. people killing themselves, slitting their wrists. The first thing they did is they put me in fivepoint restraints, put me in a pink room, first hang to my mom, I got high, they took my clothes, and my mom had me committed there for eight months.

I broke out twice. I was a rebel. I wanted out. I was scared. I I hated that place. Cops would get me, bring me back. And I kept thinking, why did my mom do this to me? The anger was so built up. I graduated because my mom's insurance ran out of money.

And I always gravitated to I would gravitate to punk rock. I was a punk rocker. Wow. Compton. Punk rock. What's next? I was a punk rocker. Blue hair. Crazy. Do what you want. Anarchy. Don't listen to your parents. Don't listen to the government. I was mad. I was angry.

I was a bitter kid for what happened to me. And I was so bad that well, since fun for a season, then you got to pay the price. I remember it's my 15th birthday and my two grandfathers came with my grandparents. They came to visit me and I'm in my room getting high with my friends.

That's how disrespectful I am. I'm loaded. Can't even see straight. And these two Germans came in the room. My grandfathers were both named Fred. And they bodies were flying. They threw me on the bed. One saying, "Hit him, Freddy." The other one saying, "Hold him, Fred. Hit him, Fred.

I hold them friend two old men rage on me and they beat me down and threw me through my glass window and I lived on my own. I got kicked out of every single school you can possibly get kicked out of. Even the prison school, the uh continuation school where everyone gets kicked out of.

And I got arrested for robbing houses, shooting up dope. uh shooting up dope at 15. I'm not proudest, but I want to show you something. I can relate to this guy. Some of you in here, you people gave up on you. Chains didn't help you. The restraints didn't deliver you. >> The counseling didn't deliver you.

Only Jesus can set you free. I I'll I'll spare you all of it, but I'll just tell you. Yeah. I'm flying on planes transporting LSD at 16 and I'm sticking EVERYTHING IN MY ARM. HAVE MY OWN house as a teenager. Then at 19, someone's trying to kill me.

I have hepatitis. I'm peeing blood. I'm sick. I knew it was bad when I'm in a Burger King and there's a bunch of drug addicts in the bathroom and I needed to shoot up dope and I had no water because I'm hiding in the stall and I don't want to share.

I need water. I got to get high before I go in this concert and I stuck toilet water in my arm. That's how bad it was. Someone's trying to kill me now. I have nowhere to go. And these Mexican gang murders came from the hood. I don't know them.

They're in southeast LA. I need to get away. This is before internet, before cell phones to date how old I am. They let me live in their garage. I'm probably one of their first white friends. They let me live in their garage. I'm not safe. I'm getting loaded in that garage for three weeks.

I'm getting high. I'm getting loaded. I'm bringing chicks back there. I'm doing stupid stuff. I have no idea that they're saved and are in the front house praying for me. And then in 1987, 3 days on something called ICE that later became meth not sleeping, I ran somebody off the freeway.

I went to a concert. It broke up by the cops. I ended up in Huntington Beach at a girl's house. Robbed her house. And then all night like like Satan entered me. I want to hurt somebody. I have no idea why I'm driving on PCH. I want to rape somebody.

I want to kill somebody. It's not me. I've never wanted to do that. Just Satan entered me. It was ugly. And all night and thank God 10 in the morning. I didn't do nothing. But it was like I wasn't even driving. And I come to this garage at 10:00 in the morning.

I can't explain. Open the garage door. When I opened the garage door, something pushed me and I fell down on my knees and IT JUST CAME OUT. JESUS, I CAN'T DO this no more. Jesus, if you're real. I CRIED FOR 2 HOURS. WHEN I GOT UP, I NEVER SMOKED.

I never drank. I NEVER GOT HIGH. THEY LAID HANDS ON ME. THE DOCTOR SAID THE HEPATITIS LEFT MY BODY. I WENT TO THE FRONT DOOR. I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND I SAID, "LISTEN, DUDE. I THINK I BECAME ONE of you guys. I I don't know." And he goes, "You want to go to church?"

I go, "I'll go to church with you." Now, I haven't slept in three days. So, I missed the morning service. Thank God for Sunday nights. I went to a church in East LA on Woodier Boulevard. There's about a thousand people there. And I'm one of the only white guys.

All gang members. All gang members. THE ONLY WHITE DUDE WAS A preacher from Oklahoma. I don't EVEN KNOW WHAT HE SAID. I JUST RAN TO THE FRONT and I never ever left that church. I NEVER LEFT THAT CHURCH. That guy, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY. HE WOULD WAKE ME UP IN the morning.

You need to pray. I don't know how to pray. I know. Just kneel down and listen to me. >> Make me at 5:00 in the morning. Then then we went to a men's meeting and they're preaching a sermon on integrity. It's like I'm only been like two weeks save.

I don't I'm sitting there. Everyone's shouting about 600 men. Amen. Integrity. And I'm sitting there quiet. We went there and a low rider. We get OUT OF THE WE GET OUT of the car. We get out of the thing. We sit in the car and he's just getting to know me and he goes, "What' you think?"

And and I looked at him. I go, "I'm in trouble, dude." He goes, "What do you mean?" I go, "I don't know what that word is. I don't know what integrity is. I don't know how to spell it. I just realized I can't read, man. I messed up.

I messed up my whole life. I've been selling drugs since I was a kid. I got kicked out of every school. I don't know nothing. What am I going to do? I'm crying. How am I GOING TO GET A JOB? What's going to happen to me? He puts his hand on me.

I can feel it right now. It's going to be okay, man. He goes, "Meet me after work every day in the front and got me a Noah Webster's dictionary. We were going to ring the read the New King James Bible." And I then he began to take me out witnessing.

He began to tell me, "Okay, you're going to teach home Bible study." Me? He goes, "Yeah, this is how you put a sermon together." He had no idea what God was going to do in my life. I went to a conference just like this. I heard SOMEBODY PREACH A SERMON JUST LIKE THIS.

And I heard them SAY, "GOD WANTS TO USE YOU." BAM. AND I'M SITTING THERE THINKING, "WAIT A MINUTE. GOD WANTS TO USE ME. I'VE USED PEOPLE. PEOPLE HAVE USED ME. BUT THE GOD WHO SPUN THIS UNIVERSE INTO EXISTENCE WANTS TO USE ME. I'll never forget this. I'M I'M I'M SO RAW.

I I'M FREAKED OUT. I'M A NEW CONVERT. I HID IN THE PARKING LOT. THERE'S LIKE 5,000 PEOPLE THERE. I HID IN THE PARKING LOT LIKE A STALKER WAITING FOR THAT GUY that was preaching. I don't know who he is. He was one of the actually it was a guy from Puerto Rico.

And he said, "God wants to use you to preach." I hid outside and when he came I waited till he shook hands and everyone's leaving and I jumped out FROM BEHIND HIS CAR. HEY BRO, I mean blue hair crazy. I go I want to do what you do man.

Pray for me. I want to do something for God so bad. So bad. Where are those people today? AND I WANT TO TELL YOU, YOU SAY, "WELL, PASTOR KELLY, YOU WERE A LOSER. YOU WERE A DRUG ADDICT." CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING? LSD is no different than lying.

TCP is no DIFFERENT THAN PORNOGRAPHY. HEROIN'S NO DIFFERENT THAN HATE. WE WERE ALL SINNERS. JESUS SAVED YOU FOR A PURPOSE AND A PLAN. HE HEARD A CRY AND IT GOT JESUS' ATTENTION. AND THIS DEMON-POSSESSED MAN GETS SET FREE. THEN WHAT'S SAD IS THAT THE gatherans again because they didn't fulfill God's purpose.

They're telling Jesus, "Leave." >> WHY? THEY WERE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MONEY THEY LOST ON THE PIGS THAN A LIFE CHANGED. >> THEY WALKED RIGHT BY THAT DEMON-POSSESSED MAN. THEY DIDN'T REJOICE OR THEY DIDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. OH, BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED HIM. THE BIBLE SAYS HE WENT OUT AND HE PREACHED.

HE SHARED THE TESTIMONY. 10 NEW CITIES ARE COMING TO HUNGRY GENERATION. Pew research in 2023 reveals that 50% decline in churches reporting supernatural deliverance and repentance since 1990. What is going on? We have these large ministries with no anointing, no power, NO TRANSFORMATION. YET IN THAT SAME PERIOD, THE OCCULT AND WITCHCRAFT AND ASTROLOGY AND TAROT CARDS AND all kinds of wickedness has raised 90%.

It is a WAR THAT'S GOING ON. AND I'M TELLING YOU, YOU CANNOT SIT THERE AND WATCH OTHER PEOPLE ANSWER THE CALL OF GOD. YOU CANNOT SIT THERE WHILE WE FIGHT. YOU MUST JOIN THE FIGHT. HEAR ME. WE ARE A HURTING GENERATION THAT'S TURNED US INTO A HUNGRY GENERATION.

THEY NEED TO HEAR THE TRUTH OF PREACHING REPENTANCE AND OPERATING IN POWER AND DELIVERANCE. I got supernaturally delivered. >> There's a cry going out. Jesus heard it from a tomb on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. There's a cry of this world that's dying. >> I guess this is the point of the sermon.

I need to ask you, do you care? >> Do you care that they're going to hell? >> I know we don't want to talk about hell. >> Jesus spoke twice as much about hell than he did heaven. >> He spoke more about hell than all the writers in the Bible combined.

He Christmas is about hell. Unto us a savior is born to save us from hell. Easter's about hell. He died for our sins and wouldn't have to go to hell. No one wants to talk about it but your family, your co-workers, your high school, your neighbors. YOU WANT TO GO ON A MISSION TRIP AND YOU'VE NEVER KNOCKED ON YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S DOOR AND OFFER TO PRAY FOR THEM.

We must respond to the cry OF THE WORLD. WHEN I watch the news like Minnesota and these places and you see people screaming on the streets, I see people crying. They need Jesus. Yeah, I'm older. I want to get angry. I want to get mad. But God, I should check with my heart.

Do you remember where you came from? >> You remember how angry you were? How lost you were. We if we're not careful. We'll leave this conference the same saved. But you got to make a commitment. You have to have an ear to hear God's voice. Ours will not take this gospel beyond this nice, beautiful new building.

There's a world that's dying and lost. Will you respond? >> The cry. I mean, how many people have died just in a 20 mile radius since I started preaching? Acts 16:16. And when they had gone through uh Fria in the region, the region of Galatada, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.

After they had come to Mesa, they had tried to go to Bethnea, but the spirit did not permit them. Passing Messia, they had gone to the town of Trrowass. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A Macedonian man stood and pleaded with him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

And now after he had seen the vision, immediately he sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel there. What we need are people that have ears to hear the cry of the world. >> We are oversaturated with God. Give me this anointing.

Give me this class. give me the special thing. And you're we're so overprepared. I mean, this is a generation that at a flick of our phone, we can get the Bible in any translation, pull up any great sermon. I mean, you you were so overeducated where they didn't even have Bibles the way we did. >> We're anointed so much. >> So much.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THEY LAID hands on you? >> How many times HAVE YOU HAD OIL PUT ON YOU? HOW MANY TIMES AND WHY WHY DO YOU HAVE A GIFT? >> WHY DID JESUS GIVE YOU A GIFT? WHY ARE YOU A GIFT? YOU ARE A GIFT TO GET SOMEBODY ELSE SAVED. >> THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO PLANT CHURCHES AND TAKE CITIES. There's a man, he has a vision. Paul, THERE'S A MAN CRYING OUT, "COME OVER HERE AND HELP US, PLEASE. MODERN TRANSLATION, HE'S PLEADING. He's appealing. HE CRIED OUT. IT'S A CRY OF DESPERATION. I've been praying, thinking about this message for a couple weeks.

There's a cry going out to Seattle. There's a cry going out to Portland. There's a cry going out to San Francisco. >> Can you hear it? >> Can you hear the cry? Can you hear them in the graveyard alone, lost, without Jesus where their family, their family put them there, said, "We're done with you."

These are people in Macedonia bound by idolatry. where God God is calling him to Macedonia, a place bound by idolatry, addicted to sin. He goes, he wanted to go to two other places. And God said, "No." I'm going to say this for some of you. You don't always get to go where you want to go. >> You don't always get to go where you feel called to go. >> It's not about you.

It's about him. As a matter of fact, he goes and everything goes wrong. A woman demonpossessed gets them in trouble, gets they get beaten, thrown in jail. I mean, you got to be thinking, did I hear God's will? >> So, let me tell you real briefly my story.

Thank God I got saved in a culture like this where I sat underneath a man that literally said, "If I if you don't do better than me, I failed you. You must go out and do better than us." And I remember we were in this culture of taking cities and I wanted to pray new convert.

I'm going to Chicago. No one no one's gone to Chicago. I I want that city. I seen gangster movies. Back in those days, you had to go to a library. For all you young people, there were buildings with books in them long time ago. And I go read about Chicago.

Hey, even when I married my wife, I fasted. My I asked my pastor, "What do you think about Esther Garcia?" He goes, "Good girl. Pray and fast for 5 days." I stopped eating right there. Three days, no water. Two more days water. I walked up to her the fifth day and I said, "I've never spoke to her at all."

And I said, "I've been praying and fasting if it's God's will for you to marry me and preach the gospel like a stalker. Listen to me, brother. Don't do what I did." She said, "God was speaking to me too about you." Thank God. But everyone in my church has tried this.

It's never worked. The women tell me, "Stop sharing your story." I PLANNED MY LIFE. I SAT DOWN and my pastor said, "Esther, if you're not willing to go anywhere in the world, then don't be be engaged to Kelly because he wants to preach." >> I'm like, "She better not leave this room because I fasted five days."

And she said, "Yes." I said, "I'm not getting in debt. I'm not going to get in debt." That's me. I'm not telling you. I said, "I'm I know what God wants me to do. I was going to do something to disqualify myself." And I remember I'm praying for Chicago.

I fasted for I bought a Chicago hat. Everyone knew I was going to Chicago. Every every conference people are going out. We're having a conference every six months. Three churches, five churches. We're exploding. And then one day my pastor comes up to me and he says, "Hey, you're going out this next conference."

And I'm like, "Oh man, it's on it. You know, you can talk about it and one day reality hits." So, I know I'm going to go and a few months later, I'm preparing. My pastor comes up to me and he says, "Hey, can I meet with you and your wife?"

And he said, "We have a situation. We have a church in Sacramento. We have to make a pastoral change before conference. We know you're going to be going out next. Would you pray about going?" It's, you know, had about 90 people at time. I said, "All right, let me pray."

I went back and I told my pastor, "You know what? Thank you, pastor." He was not a controlling man, very humble man. Really, honestly, he had the very much demeanor of your pastor. Very kind. And he goes, "Uh, no problem. We'll get somebody else. I just want to give the opportunity."

The very next day, I drove a truck for the uh I was a Letoro. I worked for I drove a truck for the dairy delivering milk uh for the schools and we lost our contract. I was a union and all of us got laid off. All right, I'm going to be a pastor.

I don't have a job. One month later, he offers me a church in Reading, California. Same scenario. He told me to pray about it before conference, you know, we'll give you first opportunity. Prayed about. I came pastor, thank you, but no thank you. After I I told him, I just didn't feel peace about it.

It was a Wednesday night. this happened. I I I'm 25 and somehow I got on the stage that night. They asked me to share a testimony how my car was carjacked the year before LA and I had a cut list. What do you expect? And how I got my car back.

And I'm saying, you know, I I was trying to do God's will. They stole my car. I stood on God's word and I got my car back. Everyone shot. And when I'm doing that, there's a little cholo in the back going like this. and I'm trying to get my attention, but I'm 25 and I'm like, "I ain't getting off the stage.

I never get up here." So, when I walked off the stage, he goes, "Bro, you're not going to believe this. When you were testifying about them stealing your car, they just stole your car again out of the church parking lot. GOD IS MY WITNESS." HE GOES, "WE THOUGHT IT WAS YOUR WIFE BECAUSE SHE PUT A BABY IN a car.

IT WAS A WOMAN THAT stole your car. We waved goodbye. came in and seen Esther in the church. One week later, my car is totally stripped in Compton. No job, no car. Six weeks before conference, I'm going to be ordained as a pastor. My pastor comes to me and says, "Hey, we have another situation came up a church in Toma and he said, pastor's going to do mission work and we need somebody to go I'm going to just give you that opportunity instead of Chicago.

Same thing I prayed, very humble, was not bothered. The next day, my wife was seven months pregnant with our second child and I had a crummy hospital where you see a different doctor every time. And that we were just there a week before. Everything's fine. This doctor said, "Our baby's dead."

This is the next day, just like every other time. They told my wife in the hallway and I'm sitting there going, "Wait a minute. What? We were just here and they said, "Look," and I'm like freaking out. I'm like, "Can you can we go back in there?" There was a strike going on and all kinds of stuff.

They go, "Look, we you have to make an appointment. It's not like that." So, we have to make an appointment like 5 days later. And so, we're in church. They're laying hands on my wife. I'm believing God for a miracle. This is how we're going to start our ministry.

WE GO back to the hospital and my baby's still dead. The doctor says, "Will you stay with your wife and help her with the IV because she's going to be sick and she needs help to the restroom." So, I'm with my wife and she's giving birth 11 hours for a dead baby.

And as I'm taking her to the restroom, the unthinkable happens. The baby comes out in the toilet. Yeah. I want to tell you the truth. My wife goes into shock. I run and get a nurse. The nurse is yelling at me, "What are you doing out of bed?"

I said, "The doctor told me to help her." And she grabs my wife and my baby and puts my wife and the baby in the bed. Puts a blanket over and says these words, "We have a situation. You're in the wrong part of the hospital because we're overcrowded.

You know, there's a strike with the nurses downstairs, but there will be a doctor here in a few moments." left me in that room with God, the devil, my wife, and my baby. And I'm crying. I said, "God, all I want to do is pastor." My whole life, I've wanted to do this.

The doctors came and removed the baby, and they hurt my wife. For six and a half years, my wife bled every single day where she almost died while we were pastoring and never been able to have children since. We have one son. That week, three weeks or four weeks later, WE GET ANNOUNCED.

KELLY NESTER TO THE city of Chicago. I'm beat up. They announced me. They did this. Laid hands. Guy was going to Mexico City. Another guy was going to Pico Rivera. I'm going here. I remember going to the bathroom in the in the Ontario Conference Center to change my clothes.

I got a graveyard shift just to get some money. This is my big day. Two weeks later, they're meeting with the guys that are going out and they say, uh, the assistant pastor said, "Listen, you guys got to get ready to go to your cities." Blah, blah, blah.

At the end of the meeting, he says, "Uh, Kelly Nester, can I talk to you?" Sure. He goes, "My p your pastor, this is the assistant pastor. I didn't like this guy. And he goes, "Hey, pastor wants you to pray about going to Kansas City." And I said, "Every time you guys offer me a church, something bad happens to me."

And he's like being scared of me. And he goes, "Look, I know, I know, I know, I know, but he really feels God in this." And he goes, "Will you just pray about it?" I said, "Yes." But in my heart, I was saying no. I'm walking to the car and my wife, a little Cuban, goes, "Oh, I really feel like a woman I pray way more than you.

Don't even start. We're going to Chicago." And she said, "I feel God. I went to church that Sunday." And my pastor, he's passed on, walked up to me like an Oklahoma guy. Hey boy, you ready for Kansas City? I stand right there on a Sunday. I said, "A pastor, I'm not going to go." "Yes, you are."

And I looked at him and I cried because I knew I was going to do what he said. And I said, "Pastor, you know what I've been through?" And he said, "Kelly, I have nobody willing to go far. We have one family that needs a pastor from this church there." one family.

I said, Hebrews 13 says 13:17, "Obey and submit for you watch over. So if you say it's God, I'll go." He looked at me, said, "It's God. Quit your new job. It's on Sunday. Quit your job. Tomorrow we need to get a U-Haul truck. You got to leave Tuesday."

And walked away from me. What would you do? Just being honest. God never spoke to me. Oh. Oh. But he did. He spoke to me through my pastor. >> Now, I know that's hard because today we live in the time you're controlling me. You're legalistic. >> Everything in my life that I've been taught and read about disciplehip, obedience, God's will was put in a forefront.

I will tell you something even crazier. I believe God spoke to me about Chicago just like God spoke to Abraham about Isaac. >> Are you willing to let go of your vision and trust me? >> Everything's a test. >> I go to I go to Kansas City and I'm I'm a soul winner to this day.

Wherever I go, I witness to people. one salvation in one year and she was pregnant AND ROBBED THE BANK FOR 30,000 bucks. Came back to THE CHURCH BROKE WITH NO MONEY. I'm like, you got nothing? Guess what? Her and her husband next couple months are going to go start the Cure Church Little Rock, Arkansas. now been with me from the beginning.

MY WIFE WAS SICK. NOT everything was going everything was going wrong. >> I don't want to glamorize >> the call of God. But there's A LITTLE SECRET. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT all we love this. BUT ALL THESE GUYS DIED DOING THIS. ALL THESE GUYS WERE BEHEADED, ATE BY LIONS, WHIPPED, STONED, >> DOING WHAT these men are doing. >> WE'RE WE LOVE RESULTS, >> BUT GOD REWARDS FAITH.

There's a cry going out. I don't have to list off cities, but there's a cry from Jesus. God saw the cry of humanity and he sent his son Jesus to die. And when this is all done, when it's all over, that's all that matters. If you're here and you're not saved, you're not born again, if you said a sinner's prayer and you got baptized and your life did not change, you said words and took a bath.

Well, I'm not going to say you're going to be perfect. I don't know you, so I can't judge you. But what's the Holy Spirit saying? If you died, would you go to heaven? I'm not asking you what ministry you're in. >> I mean, I'm I'm not asking you.

This is a good church. I guarantee when people get saved, this church, it claps. They get excited. If you're here and you're backslid, you're away from God, you don't know Jesus, your Lord and Savior, the Bible says, "You confess me before men and I'll confess you my heavenly father."

If you deny me before men, I'll deny for my heavenly father. Christianity is personal. But it's not private. You have to openly confess. That's why we do altar calls. You can't hide. So, forget the person next to you. I don't care if it's your spouse, your parents, or someone in your ministry.

You know that something's telling you today, I need Jesus, or I need to rededicate my life. Lift up your hands. Say, "Pray for me." Hands going up. Lift up your hand. I see those hands. I see those hands. Come on. Come on. If your heart's pounding, lift up your hands.

Keep them up. Keep them up. KEEP THEM UP. KEEP THEM UP. JESUS IS CALLING YOU. All the way up there. All the way over there. I see them. Look, look at me. You raised your hand. And I'm going TO TELL YOU, IF YOU'RE WERE BROKEN LIKE ME, IT'S NOT HARD TO RAISE your hand.

BUT IF YOU'VE BEEN IN CHURCH, it's hard to RAISE YOUR HAND. SWALLOW THAT RELIGIOUS PRIDE. BUT WHEN WE STAND BEFORE GOD, IT DON'T COUNT. You raised your hand or you didn't. Come quickly. Just come. Get out of your seat. Come. Come. Jesus loves you. Come home. Come home.

Backslider. Come home. They're coming. They're coming. THEY'RE COMING. THEY'RE COMING. COME, COME, COME, COME. HE'S CALLING YOU. HE'S CALLING YOU. Come home, husband. COME HOME, WIFE. Come home, GRANDPA. Come home, BACKSLIDER. COME HOME. COME. COME, COME. Look at me. All of you at this altar, look at me.

Look at me. I'm going to say one prayer, but I'm not done. Look, look at me. This is what's going to happen. All of you, if you're out there, you sneak up anytime. No one's going to care. We just get up here. What's the worst sin you've ever done in your life?

I want you to think about it. Don't say it out loud. What's the worst sin you've ever done? That thing you regret that you don't want no one to know about. What is it? You thinking about something and now you're going to stand before God. I'm here to tell you Jesus will forgive you of that thing you're thinking about and everything else and he'll never bring it up again.

That's what forgiveness is. It's a second chance. Then he's going to come inside of you in your life. I can't tell you. You have to experience. I used to give people drugs and say, "Try this." You have to say, "Jesus, come in. You become the temple of the Holy Spirit like me.

MY WHOLE LIFE CHANGED. I COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT. You have to experience it. I don't care if you're a repeat offender. I don't care if you've done this before. It's going to be different this time." Okay? Then he's going to write your name in the book of life and you get TO GO TO HEAVEN, BUT YOU CAN'T LEAVE HERE AND PRETEND LIKE THIS didn't happen.

You have to go to church. YOU HAVE TO PRAY. YOU HAVE TO TALK TO GOD. GET ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA TONIGHT AND TELL EVERYBODY, "I GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS. Do it. YOU CAN BE A GOOD DAD. YOU CAN BE A GOOD MOM. YOU CAN do this." Close your eyes.

You're not praying to me. You're praying to the Lord. Repeat after me. Say, "Lord Jesus." Come on. Say it again. Say, "Lord Jesus, I thank you for dying for me. I believe you rose from the dead on the third day. Forgive me of all my sins. Wash me in your blood.

I receive you now as my Lord and as my Savior. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, I'm going to serve you, but I can't do it on my own. I need your help. Fill me now WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT I CAN BE WHAT YOU WANT ME to be and do what you want me to do in Jesus name.

I'm yours. Someone praise God right now. You You mean that, bro? You can do it. Look at me. You mean it? If I see you at Walmart this week while I'm in town, I'm going to say something. if I see you doing something stupid. Okay, look look look at me.

I I know we got it's late, but don't act like it ain't been late before. This is the real This is the real deal right now. While they're here, I I don't care how crowded it is because Pastor Vlad's going to get the bug like I do. I don't see new converts.

I see future pastors, prophets, evangelists right here. I look like her when I got saved. I came to church with hair spiked out, boots up to here, leather jacket. You're there. And don't say it's for drugs because Luke was a doctor. >> Peter was uneducated. Luke was a doctor.

Paul was a religious person from another church and God had to break his traditions to fulfill God's purpose. Here it is. Are you brave enough to say tonight, Jesus, if you would use me to preach the gospel and take a city, I'll do it. HE MAY NOT, BUT ARE you willing to say, God, if it's me, I'm not asking you if you're married or not.

I wasn't married. I don't care your story. God uses all kind. Have you read the first VERSES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT? GOD. Abraham begott Isaac. Isaac. Jacob. LIAR. LIAR. CONNYIVER. WHO'S THE next guy? Not Joseph. Judah who had insexual sin with his daughter-in-law. Pretend to be a prostitute.

Rahab. David murderer adulterer. And God can move through though. Jesus can move his seed through them. He can move through you. You can take a city for Jesus. AND IF THAT'S YOU, I DON'T CARE HOW CROWDED IT GETS BECAUSE I HAVE A prophetic act. I want you say that's me.

God, if you would use me to take a city, I'm going to pray about answering the call of God. You must just like them. Get out of your seat and come as close as you can. I don't care how crowded it gets. But we're going to do a prayer for this.

Come. Come because your Yes. Listen to me. Your Yes. Yeah. Come. Come. It's all right. It's going to go all the way down. It needs to be this way because it's not your life. Look at me. I want you to understand the spies that said no destroyed a generation.

Our no there some maybe some people there is no plan B. >> We always think somebody else. What if it's just you? >> The Holy Spirit. Hear me. Romans chapter 10. Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How can they go unless someone tells them?

And how can they go unless someone sends them? Some of you will be called to sin. You know that guy that led me to the Lord knows me. He actually went out and pastored for a year and didn't do good. He came back and still to this day teaching Bible say out of his living room.

Eight men went out and pastored great churches. It doesn't matter who waters, who get long as people get saved. If you're called to stay, you're called to create people to go. This is a launching pad here. Start praying for cities right now. Come on. Some of you start praying for nations right where you're at in Jesus' name.

Come on. I'M NOT GOING TO LEAD IT OUT TO YOU. THE HOLY Spirit's going to put a city on you. You You're just saying, "God, I'll go." If you're single, prepare your life. Don't fornicate. Don't do something stupid. If you're married, get your finances together. GET READY TO SELL YOUR HOUSE.

GET READY TO GET A NEW JOB. Don't do it on your own. You need to hear from God and you need to hear from your pastor. As a matter of fact, wow. While you're praying, Philippians 2:20, Timothy, Paul says, is like no other. He cares the same passion and your welfare that I care in my carry in my heart.

Listen to it. For it seems though everyone else is busy seeking what's best for themselves and not the things that are important to the Lord Jesus Christ. You already know his excellent reputation, how he served alongside of me as a loyal son of the ministry. You're not going to go out and rebel and say, "God spoke to me and rebelled against this house."

The Bible says they were sent. They weren't. They didn't went. You want what you seen tonight, the process. You want hands laid on you. You want to do what's right. You want a covering. We have too much lone rangers that rebelled against leadership out there and they're actually causing more damage in the body of Christ.

Okay, Pastor Vlad, can you come up here for a moment, please? And I don't want no one to move. Don't leave the sanctuary for a moment. He quoted Acts 18. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. Listen, you will be my witnesses telling people about me everywhere in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.

Jerusalem was the close regional place. Then they went a little further out to Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. These early churches that are here, they're just the beginning. All of you pastors I spoke to you earlier. This people at this altar are watching you. Stay holy.

Don't quit. Or you'll discourage the next generation. >> Humble yourself when you're going through it. I'm going to move quick, but I I I'm going to obey. This is what I seen. My confirmation. I had no idea you handed staffs out to your guys. I think that's cool.

Exodus 17 verse8. While the people of Israel were still in Revan, they warriors of Amalcch attacked them. Moses commanded Joshua, choose, say, Moses commanded. >> Moses commanded. >> He chose some men to go out and fight in the army for Amalcch for us. Tomorrow I will go stand at the top of the hill holding my staff of God in my hand.

Joshua did as Moses commanded and fought the army of Amalcch. Give us disciples that will listen to their leaders. Meanwhile, Moses, Aaron, and her climbed to the top of the nearby hill. Listen to this. The first act was Moses commanded and Joshua and Caleb responded. They were told what to do.

Then the next thing is Moses, Aaron and her went to the top of the mountain. What's interesting is when Moses went to the top of the mountain, Aaron and her were not told what to do. Aaron represents priestly ministry. Her represents administrative ministry. because of his grandfather in d putting together the ark.

They went to another higher level with their pastor where these folks couldn't go. They didn't have to be told because they had the heart of Moses when they went up. The Bible says as long as Moses held the staff up in his hand, the Israelites had advantage. And whenever they dropped his hands, the Amalites had taken advantage.

Moses' arms became weary and tired and could no longer hold them up. So Aaron and her found a stone for him to sit on. And they stood on each side of Moses holding his hands. And his hands were held steady until sunset. Let me let me stop there.

You have hands on and then I I don't I I'm not going to do it but I was going to say who would you consider your in this house your head spiritual administrative type leaders around you but it's not important and the Bible says he he did this I want all of you to do this every one of you in the building look at me very carefully do not bend your elbows because if you put your hands down.

Not you. You've been doing it. No, you you get your hands up, sucker. Put your Everyone look at me. Everyone keep your hands up. You put him down, the enemy wins. This is the posture of a pastor. Keep them up. Don't Don't put them down no matter what.

This is the guy that was a youth pastor that people didn't believe in. This is a guy that I heard his testimony felt insecure about his eye and people making fun of him. This is the guy that gets attacked, slandered all over social media. Keep your hands up.

Just like me. City coming against me. Wife sick. Devil coming against you. Believing God for miracles. You put your hands down. We don't win. We don't win. I need you. You need me. We need each other. Aaron her come beside him and they hold his hands up. But they don't look at me.

You Aaron and Hersen house. They didn't take his hands and make the steering wheel. They didn't force him. No, we want you to go this way. Pastor, don't manipulate at your level of ministry. Keep them up. Come on. You feel it. You feel You feel it in your armpits and your back.

Keep it up. That's You're You're feeling something. This is the posture that a pastor of this network now has to take. He's already been at Joshua and Caleb. Now God has brought up an apostolic anointing where he's commanding people to go in cities and fight and take out Amalcs.

Amalax in Seattle, Portland, and whatever city God's put on your heart. 10 cities we're believing God for just to get started. Keep your hands up. Even if you get sick. I I I got I didn't even tell you my first second year pastoring my I literally had no car for 11 months.

I had in the Midwest I had to ask people to give me a ride to church. It was so humiliating and people didn't even let me borrow a car. Had to go to work. I had to keep my hands up. Keep it up everyone. Sh. Stop playing for a second, Jar.

Put him down. You hear that? Look at me. Look at me. He doesn't get to do that. That's called the weight of the ministry. You know why this is important? Because the Bible says they had victory because his hands were up. And it's one of the times when God spoke after the victory and said, "I have a name.

It's Jehovani. The Lord is my banner." God gave them a flag right there. and Jehovani the banner of hungry generation will be established in city after city. You're a fascinating man. I mean this God has gifted you on such cool stuff and bring such challenging messages that a teenager can operate in.

And it's going to take that. And you've walked humili. I I'm around people. I ask about their family, their kids, everything. And I I love you, bro, but this is so big that now you have to steward this. But what if what if God said yes to all of them?

Do you know there's enough in here to shake this world? >> Just this one network to shake this world. to shake this world. I don't care how many times you've messed up. If there's a class you need to go to, go to it. Stop being flaky. Stop. You want to have a church, you better start paying your tithes now.

You have a broke church. You go reap what you sow. Do what's right now. Sew into the future. Make a decision. Make a decision. I'll read it to you. I I I just got to read to you because this is important. Ephesians 5:15. I I just wanted to read this one.

The contemporary English version says, "Act like people with good sense and not like fools. These are evil times. Every minute counts." I love this version because it says my favorite word. Don't be stupid. Instead, find out what the Lord wants you to do. Don't destroy your life by getting drunk, but be led by the spirit and let the spirit of God fill you.

DON'T BE STUPID. FIND OUT GOD'S WILL. Forget Don't drink. DON'T GET HIGH. DON'T ACT STUPID. LET GOD USE YOUR LIFE. Whatever you did at this altar, God heard it. From tonight to when that day happens, you will be tested. You will. You You'll be tested. You'll be tested by blessings.

You'll be tested with a good job. You'll be tested with losing everything. Everyone tests is different. But hold on and people will go to heaven because of your yes. God bless you. Come on. Thank you. Let's give the Lord a clap offering for a powerful powerful message. Mhm.

And Pastor Kelly, this this was just not a sermon as you saw. This was his life message. And I mean that testimony and I've heard it few times already. But every time he shares it, this this hits different, which is one of the reasons I really wanted him to speak tonight because the heartbeat of Hungry Jen is for people to be saved, is souls to be saved is what we're seeing today.

And also for us to start thinking, I know we're in Tri Cities, but for us to start thinking that our church is not just your normal your grandma's church. It is a sending center. It's not because we want to build a franchise. We have better things to do with our time.

It's not our brand. It's the vision of Jesus to win souls and make disciples. If you think look at our guys, Pastor Ilia, he was running three businesses. This is not that. He had nothing else to do and decided, well, let me just try pastoring. And those people who walk around and tell me, I want to be a pastor.

To me, that's the first thing is a sign I don't think God called them. Cuz everyone I talk to who becomes a pastor, that was not part of their plan. And so God calls us and we respond to God and we pay whatever the price we need to pay.

Not because of comfort, not because of convenience, not because it's easy, but because it's the right thing to do. It's what we need to do. We look back, me and Pastor Ilia look back when he preached the last sermon in our old building and it's been 24 years and I can tell you one thing, I have no regret.

Yeah, there were sleepless nights. Yeah, there were months we went for fasting. Yes, there were things we did that were foolish. They were radical. We were breaking into churches to pray because they didn't trust us with keys. And so we would break in on Friday night at 11:00 and calculate when the pastor of the church who lived next to the church would go to sleep and turn off the car, go on neutral and pull straight into the church and pray and get caught.

But we would hide among the pews that he would put flashlight never know who we were. What saved us? He had no security. There was no cameras and that was foolish. We would never do that now. But I look back at my life. Although my other friends those 24 years they were spent on something.

Your life will be spent. You will either wreck it by sin wasted by living for your dreams and visions that will backfire because we don't lean on our understanding or we invest our life in doing what pleases Jesus. Whatever the cost, whatever the price, whatever we have to go through.

And some of you may say right now, yes, I'm going to go and take the city. Uh why don't you take Sunday for now? >> Come to church on Sunday. Why don't you start tithing? Why don't you take life class? Why don't you join a small group? Because this is where it starts.

It did not start with the mountaintops. It started at 5:00 a.m. prayers. It started preaching three times a week at the youth service on Sunday and then going to jail. and a homeless shelter. And it wasn't we didn't do it so that we can get ready or prepared.

It was the obedience that was required at that season. >> Fulfill that obedience because the time for you to be released to launch a campus to take a city might take 20 years, might take 30. It doesn't matter how long it takes. What matters is that you're submissive to the process that God has chosen for you >> in Jesus name. >> Amen. >> Amen. >> I know that we received a lot today.

We were stretched. That impartation was released. Give the Lord a clap offering one more time. I want you just put a p put a put a put a put put a hand on your on your neighbor's shoulder for just a moment. We're just going to take a moment and pray.

Pray for the person next to you. If you are seated, you can do that seated. But if you are if you are able to stand up for the next just 60 seconds, I want you to open up your mouth. Pray for the person next to you and begin to say, "Lord, I ask you that you will activate them.

Lord, I ask you that you will use them. Lord, I ask you that you will fulfill your will in their life. Lord, I ask you that they will have their yes. Lord, I ask you that they will not give no to you, but that they will give yes to you.

And that many people will be impacted because of their yes. That many people will be delivered because of their yes. Many people will be healed because of their yes. That their grandchildren will be affected by their yes. That their neighbors will be affected by their yes, Lord. that their co-workers will be affected by their yes.

Lord, I pray right now that they will, even if they're not ready to say yes, God, prepare them. Lord, move circumstances, release angels, dispatch your assignment on their life. We cancel every assignment of the enemy on their life in Jesus' name. May your calling on their life be fulfilled.

Lord, as they say yes to the call that you will say yes to the cry that you will answer the cry of their generation, the cry of their people in Jesus' name. In Jesus name. Lord commission us tonight. Lord release us tonight. Lord activate us tonight. Lord let your vision for our life become a seed in our soil today in Jesus name. in Jesus name.

And everybody said And everybody said, "Amen." Today, tonight, as I'm going to dismiss you in just a moment, but I want to encourage each one of you, uh, Pastor Kelly has very little books there. He's a dynamic, dynamic speaker, but his story is in that book. Make sure you check it out.

Make sure that he leaves back home without any books. And our wonderful psalmist also has merch and then ministry there. They support the work that they do not only in singing but also the work in helping people to be free. And so check out their table so that you can be a part of that as well.

And for those of you who maybe got really rocked today, hey, I want to plant churches. You know what? Consider helping us to finance that. You know, as a church, we pay for that. We we help the pastors to move. We help the pastors to get a location, buy an equ buy buy some equipment.

We don't do usually it just comes out of our operations budget, but this year we felt like we want to invite the larger body of Christ to say, "Hey, churches are shutting down left and right. Let's help to open new churches. Let's help to send more men and women of God to the darkest spots."

Some of you may not be able to go there physically, but you can send your resources, you can send your prayers, and you can send your fasting. Amen. Tomorrow night, tomorrow at 1:00 is going to be our internship interest meeting. So for those of you who have the call and you're like, "Hey, I want to take three months."

Especially if you're from outside of United States, you can come. You can also get visa. And so you make sure you come and you're going to hear some more details and ask any questions. And Jen, are we still doing a tour tomorrow? Yes. And where do people sign up?

On the tap tap on the Okay. So, for those of you who are interested, you're like, "Hey, I would like to get a little tour um just tap the the um um the behind the table, behind the chair, and then you can actually sign up to come and there's a 30 minute slots from 11 till 1:00, and you're able to come in.

We would love to show you um some stuff is still not finished, but it would be a great blessing to you uh to do that." And then tomorrow's service is at 6:00. Do come early as it's Saturday's service. uh my good friend Isaiah Salivar who is here with us.

I'm honored that you are here and uh not a lot of people, you know, some people would come and just just speak and Isaiah came in, you know, a day before. Kelly's been here for a whole week and so uh we got the speakers. Isaiah says that we have warranty on them so he'll try to blow them um blow them up.

But I said they're so powerful he won't be able to blow them up. So tomorrow is going to be our deliverance service. So, um, bring the people who need prayer. We're going to be praying for everybody that needs prayer. Um, our whole team, it's one of the things that God has graced this house is to break bondages, to pray for people to be free.

Uh, we're not a demon hunting church, but we sure hate them. And then we love people to be free. And tomorrow night is going to be a special prayer for deliverance. And then Sunday morning is 9:00 and 11:30. Now, a little uh difference than what you've seen on the flyers is that Sunday morning, both services are going to be identical.

Uh my good friend David DGA is still going to be here with us. He won't be ministering full service, just sharing an encouragement because if we do a ribbon cutting and a grand opening first service, and then everybody stays for the second as you see, we just can't fit everybody.

So, he was very kind. Um and then, you know, he uh is going to minister on Sunday night in a nearby city and I'll give you that information on Sunday. And so for those of you who want to go and receive that ministry, but Sunday will be two duplicate service.

If you come to one, you're not allowed to stay for the second one. And if you come for the second one, you know, then um you don't have to come to the first one. Amen. The vision of hungry Jen is to lead people to encounter God daily because Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to
