Everybody said a good. Amen Praise God. God bless you tonight as you give into the kingdom of God It a lot of things that are going on. I will say to you Please do not be alarmed if you happen to hear Sirens from a fire truck that is close by and just a little bit the pace fire department has been so gracious to come up to Bring the fire truck up to our kids here that are on Wednesday night and they're gonna enjoy being able to learn a little something that goes along with their lesson and So by doing that, they're gonna bring it up in front of the chapel And so please don't be alarmed if you hear them hitting the sirens because what's a fire truck without sirens? That's the reason why you follow it, right? Amen, and that's the reason why I can tell you if After having been a firefighter myself whenever they send those sirens I hear those sirens going something makes me want to jump on the truck and then I remember how old I am I Was pulling hose at 20 something As a firefighter, but 58. I don't think I'll be doing that I'll let somebody else and I have to just say I have to say this and then please forgive me for my own moment of proud heart but When I was at the fire department at Ocean City right and for Walton for so many years Paul's brother Clint came up that he and Paul came up to the fire department one day Maybe I don't know if his Aunt Rita brought him up or whatever and I dropped Clint into a pair of my boots and took a picture and the boots were bigger than he was and And from there he wound up going in the military and serving in the fire department there in the Air Force and when he got out He went right back to my Home station and got a job at Ocean City right and just recently just a few days ago Was promoted to battalion chief at Ocean City right and what a blessing that is and And pardon me for taking a little little pride beat my chest on that, but once you jump in those boots you get fever and And that's what he's been doing So I couldn't be more proud because he's excelled far beyond what what I did They used to call us 10,000 That's was because we made ten thousand dollars a year Four dollars and thirty five cents to drive a hundred and fifty thousand dollar piece of apparatus That was back in the day Yeah, so I'm really proud of him and and he may be watching tonight, but I just want to just boast on him a little bit because he's done So great You take your Bibles and please turn not to 2nd Timothy 4 Please turn to 2nd Timothy 2. That was a typo on my part. I Apologize Keitha. She printed it out the way I sent it, but Disregard that now the rest of it is all true. All right, but the first is a total lie and So if you read over in chapter number four you'll find out that you're not supposed to be a liar So it's not that I'm lying. I just typoed it wrong So thank you for for going to chapter number two while you're doing that I don't have this on the wall. These are things that are coming in late this afternoon. And so I Just I've been encouraging the staff here to Do what they need to do and prepare themselves for the days that are ahead Because there is Certainly and you you you're not Oblivious to it whatsoever You're hearing it. You're seeing it. I'm a I'm concerned that so many people are not being alert to it and So that's the reason why I say and I that's the reason why I bring this to you not To be some kind of a news anchor or something like that But to keep you informed I want this congregation to be as informed as I possibly can bring to you so that you can be prepared That's the reason and I hope that you receive it that way Just a few things that you're quite aware of and I will tell you that in the days that are ahead There is certainly a and I don't know if you feel it yourself, but an undercurrent In our society that is boiling to a point And and it I can assure you that they're saying that it's like 110 degrees Outside heat index, but but I can tell you in the in the in the mental spiritual even physical capacity It's exceeding that 110 in the undercurrent of our society right now And part of that is the anticipation as you've been seeing unbelievable protesting taking place in in front of our Supreme Court Justice's homes and I'm going to tell you that Our justice system It has its problems. There's no doubt about it But in its formation in its beginning the justice system came right out of this book the pattern for that it has been far perverted and distorted and all of that Over the years and now we're seeing an attack taking place Upon the very justice system of the united states of america Where it is actually against the law to protest that because you don't want justices Being politicized to the degree that they're going to start making decisions Like some of the attorneys general are doing in different states where they're absolutely ignoring Crimes and all kinds of stuff and letting criminals go free That's not even a you can read that for yourself, but When protesting out in front of a supreme court justice's home is actually an illegal act by our own constitution And yet it's been endorsed by those that are in the leadership of the highest of the land of america So there is an anticipation that's coming in a few days Of the abortion ruling and the possibility of the overturning of roe v. Way And you've been hearing a lot about that and so forth and i'm bringing that to your attention because it could be as they've been saying in fact the Homeland security has been saying that you can look for a summer of hostility and unrest And all of that in the united states of america over this decision And and that is forthcoming so i say that to you so that you can be prepared because i'm just going to tell you As you've been seeing if they're willing to stand out in front of of supreme court justice's home And an individual drive all the way across the united states with weapons to be able to take out Supreme court justice ret kevinall Literally to kill him that was his mandate. Thank god that they caught him arrested this guy And and got him out of that but This is part of that seething that's taking place in our nation not to mention the fact and and i just wish that that You know some time ago when when our own Uh principal from pace high school Uh prayed a simple prayer and suddenly it became the the We became the epicenter of the hotbed of the aclu right here in pace florida And thank god and for those of you that are not aware of that you can go online check it out This church stood with the students and stood with principal frank lay And uh the coaches that were there and the athletic directors that prayed a simple prayer Well now you've got another coach who's decided not to even involve the kids in it But to go out on the field and kneel and pray after the game And he's been brought before and is being brought before the highest court of the land and once again Now this is this is the dichotomy in which we live in and you see it going on right now We have uvalde Where they are asking people all over across the land. Please pray For us here at uvalde at rob elementary and we've got a coach on the ball field that's kneeling to pray But we want to outlaw this but we're asking for it over here and god said you are a double minded Generation you don't know what you're even say And so we've got that and this is this is the critical component for you to be able to understand We're not living in a world and I hope you understand this We're not living in a world right now that was for most of us having been raised In in a christian environment. Not only are we post christian, but we are according to this article now 50 of the united states polled in this particular poll Say that america's united states moral values are poor Well, that's an understatement to me But 78 percent think and this is the more critical Percentage and poll 78 percent think that the united states's moral values are getting worse Well, I can assure you that that that's exactly what's taking place in our world when we Elevate evil lawlessness and godlessness and all of the things that are against god Then ladies and gentlemen, I don't care that we are the united states of america. You can't ask god to god bless america When you are cursing god to his face With the way that people are living There's a reason why i'm saying this here tonight. So, uh, this is a this is a some critical things That you need to be aware of You need to be aware of the fact that the southern southern poverty law center Revealed that young men who belong to the democratic party Are the most likely group in america to approve of killing a political opponent 44 of young democratic men Approve of assassinating a politician who is harming the country or democracy Now in other places of the world That would be called a coup Here we call it russian disinformation On and on i'm going to explain to you tonight why it's so important for We as believers to stay Freed up from that in this lesson. You're going to see it in just a few moments But the thing that concerns me the most and what i really want to bring to you here tonight in this brief update Is that this article if you may have read about it? Heard about it, but today the fed raised the rate once again Three quarters and that is a huge Jump in fact, it is So high that it has been more than a more than a generation More than 40 years since the fed has raised the rate that high and they are expecting To raise it again A couple of more times to the same degree possibly 50 or 75 again, but here is what Here is what the former ceo of home depot said today After the raising of the rate. He said it's going to have Devastating impact on consumers And he says this quote I would tell the consumer Make sure that you're building up cash reserves Build up a supply of non perishables in your home And make sure that you're prepared for sustainable inflationary periods I've been telling this church and telling my staff now for years to prepare yourself For the days when you may very well Be seeing an environment We're so used to being able to go to the restaurant of our choice or whatever that may be but But you should prepare yourself and your own family to take care of you and your family The worst thing in the world that you could do is sit around and think that these things are not going to come to pass You cannot and I say with all due respect to the office of the presidency of the united states It is an affront To the citizens of the united states To stand at the afl cio convention and say That american citizens are now banking more savings than ever before in his comments and that everything Is just great in our economy You know and I know that uh when the when when we're looking at more than two dollars a gallon since this time last year Of an increase which everything runs on fuel Okay, uh, and I'm telling you this that and I say this with sincerity and and and and with all due respect And I would say first of all the bible never tells us to stop praying for our leaders regardless of who they are Where you voted for them or not? And I'm just going to tell you if you are of the persuasion that somehow that if we get Uh another person of another party in there or whatever That things are going to get fixed ladies and gentlemen. I I submit to you tonight america has crossed a line That This is not something that is going to be well. I've you've heard me say this before and it may be cliche, but Normal is not coming back But jesus is And and and I'll say something in just a moment to help you understand the mentality of what where I'm going and and quite frankly What is going to set the course as far as the ministry of this church between now and the coming of the lord? Because that's how severe that I think that we're in I think we're at a point of a very Of an inflection point that we will not return to things as we have seen before Uh, and why do I say that? You know read and I have had this discussion over and over again and people have been saying well, you know, um You know, they're saying they're working hard to get uh the the gas and all that kind of stuff under control and inflation and so forth We're doing everything we can But I want to help you and those of you watching online to understand When you think about america and you think about fixing it the situation and so forth, um, you have an idea I have an idea of you know, uh The family with the with the children and the split rail Fence and and the little puppy and all that kind of stuff and and everybody's for that You know and traditional values and all that kind of stuff But just what I've read to you here tonight lets you know that this country is doing a complete a complete 180 All right, and uh, you can't you can't Shut down pipelines and so forth and then turn around and blame the oil companies For not being able to bring their their prices under control. This is not that and it is not putin This is a transition listen to what they say a transition in our nation from fossil fuels to green energy And part of that is the great reset that i've talked to you about right here from the world uh economic forum But more than that with covet and everything else This is the opportunity that they're seeing to literally change The foundation and the structure of the united states of america As we have known it So the mentality that you have about You know go to church go to work come home pay your bills Live a good clean life and all that kind of stuff and that's what you're supposed to do But the bottom line is that's not there are forces coming against that very ideology I'll submit this to you That someone texts me this today Um That this is what this is what came on the screen prior to on a television screen prior to A uh anti-gryphous show Prior to an anti-gryphous show this disclaimer came up on the screen and the disclaimer says this This program contains outdated cultural depictions viewer discretion advised When you have viewer discretion advised on the anti-gryphous show So i'm telling you the media is not your friends And please don't don't try to pick one out and go well, you know this one right over here. No I'm just telling you that there is agendas And you got to remember this You got to remember the fact that satan is the principality of the air In high places well, where's all of this going where's your social media texts go Where does where does this broadcast go? Where does tv and media and all that's medium? That is exactly what it is. What do they call somebody who is uh reading tarot cards and and and weegee boards and and horoscopes and all They call them a medium Well, that's the terminology that you get for what the media is it's going through the air and so It is all designed to get minds literally changed from a traditional Values of the bible and those principles that made america What it what it is and it doesn't mean that everything in america is perfect by any means right But you must understand that um america has been here Uh for all these years under one constitution and what what's taking place Is the fact that satan knows his time is short And there is an unleashing of of the box of spirits that is that is on this land And and i told you this five years ago That once that same sex marriage Uh ruling came from the supreme court. It was going to unleash Lying spirits upon this land ladies and gentlemen. I have never in my life As you're watching what's playing out on on the news and seeing what's taking place on capitol hill and all that kind of stuff And i'm not saying everybody's perfect. I'm not here standing in one one arena right here I'm standing for god and his word. That's what i'm standing for All right, but here what i'm telling you there is so much lying where people are saying one thing And then right over here in plain sight. It's not even hidden anymore That's why you as a believer must have a discerning spirit Your walk with the lord your your communion with the holy spirit on a daily basis Is what causes you to have the scales off your eye and you see it for what it is Are you with me? Yes, sir. So now turn to the book Of second timothy chapter number two And look with me in the scripture because I cannot get out of This word endurance I haven't been able to shake that didn't want to if the lord wanted me to go more on it and behold that's where we are So in second timothy chapter number two is where we are tonight And I want you to look with me in verse number one where paul here as you know Is the is the mentor and timothy his understudy the mentee And paul is talking to timothy and he says thou therefore my son Be strong in the grace that is in christ jesus And the things that thou has heard of me among many witnesses The same commit thou to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also Underline three thou therefore endure hardness As a good soldier of jesus christ No man that warrath entangleeth himself with the affairs of this life That he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier And if a man also strive for masteries Yet he is not crowned except he strived lawfully The husband men that laboreth must be first per taker of the fruits Consider what I say and the lord give the understanding in all things Remember that jesus christ to the seed of david was raised from the dead according to my gospel Wherein I suffer trouble As an evil doer even in bonds but the word of god this is a good one to underline right here But the word of god is not bound Paul said I may be bound but the word is never bound Whoo, that'll make you shout run down highway 90 verse 10 therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake That they may also obtain the salvation which is in christ jesus with eternal glory This is a powerful passage of scripture Will stop right there And so As I was preparing this message This opening statement to you Okay It is time to strengthen what remains Now let me make something clear to you in the mission and vision of this church. Everything we do is all about souls everything And it's all about evangelism and getting the word of the gospel out to reach another soul to get them in the kingdom So if you're part of this church, you've just heard in a nutshell the mission and the vision of this house Okay, it's not for us to just have a social gathering It's not for us to just have some kind of you know Weenie roast or whatever that it may be This is for us to be able to to build the kingdom propagate the gospel and get another soul in the kingdom But especially on wednesday night as you know the format that I bring it into you That is to be able to help you to be discipled so that you can endure what is coming We we would be foolish To listen to people CEOs and others who have been in leadership positions of of large companies and then telling us to prepare And then turn and read the bible and god says be prepared in the in the evil day in the last day And then come to church here sermons walk out the door And and do a routine of religious activity My hope and trust is is that tonight and that's that's one of the reasons why I keep bringing these articles and so forth to you Because the last thing you need to do is feel comfortable here The moment you start feeling comfortable as a citizen of the kingdom You're going to be in trouble You take the mindset on so i'm telling you that my This has been confirmed by two witnesses that have come to me and didn't know what I was thinking about And what the lord was dealing with me about and that is to prepare the bride of christ for the imminent return of jesus christ That is to say to you ladies and gentlemen, we're going to keep reaching. We're going to keep preaching We're going to do everything we can and and it would be my goal that we would spend every dollar in the bank So that the antichrist don't have nothing When he arrives because he'll surely take over buildings like this and create his own religion But my intent is to to use everything and every resource we have to reach another soul with the gospel And then the trumpet of god sound and we rise to meet the lord in the air So my goal is to prepare the hearts For the period of endurance that is going to be absolutely necessary between now And the coming of the lord jesus christ I want to say a word to you tonight that you need to get used to and you need to start looking at and that is the word sacrifice What you have been doing before and now listen here. I'm not only uh, I'm not a financial expert. I'm not a Psychiatrist or psychologist. I none of that. I'm a spiritual Leader teacher pastor, whatever you want to call that, but I'm just going to tell you This means that you need to be prepared to make decisions concerning your finances Concerning your family concerning Your your future and and and all of that and be prepared to sacrifice in certain areas When they start putting disclaimers on anti griffith We are way down the road towards the antichrist kingdom being set up You don't need that mentality by thinking or having a lustful spirit to the degree that everything is about you And everything is about what you can consume Because god has never taken the mandate off of the church from the first day that he put it into place Going to all the world and preach the gospel boy. I feel my help coming in now Going to all the world preach the gospel baptizing them in the name of the father son of the holy ghost and lo I am with you always even until the end of the world. Matthew 28 19 that mandate is never going to leave the church Now who is going to be doing that? Will be those who have decided That this world is not my home. I'm just passing through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue the angels beckon me from heaven's golden shore And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Now you don't know that song but I just gave it to you right there. So you go home. Look it up So sacrifices and when I speak of Tonight i'm going to take one portion of this passage of scripture even though it this passage speaks to us about teachers It speaks to us about soldiers It speaks to us about farmers It speaks to us about athletes In all just what I've just read in these 10 verses all four of those particular characters are And occupations are found in this passage of scripture But there's a real highlighted portion concerning a soldier every principal found right there concerning endurance Rolls holds are over to every other occupation That you hear about in this particular passage of scripture from the farmer who has to wait patiently and endure until the crop comes To the athlete that has to strive for the masteries and be lawful in doing that Otherwise he won't win like he should because Like I preached this past weekend laying aside the weight and the sin that so easily besets us And run the race with patience that is set before us looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of faith who but for the joy Endured the cross Despise the shame and to sit down at the right hand of the father I'm saying to you tonight There will be sacrifices that you're going to have to personally make in the days that are ahead In every area of your life You should teach your children to like baloney Somebody said I don't even like baloney Let me tell you something spam was a highlight at my house Corned beef hash Was a regular Come on somebody A fruitful christian life Inevitably hear me now And this is where we are Because you're not going to be able I know i'm saying a lot of stuff right here for you right down But just hold tight you're not going to be able to fight this fight like the world fights the fight The church is not antifa We're not going in to burn it down and take it over The church is not other political agendas The church is exclusive And wholly set apart Holy w h o l l y holy h o l y We've been set apart Exclusively to preach and to reach people with the gospel of jesus christ to heal the sick to bind up their wounded spirits etc etc We're on a particular mission here So we cannot be judas In thinking that jesus has come to set up a political Even though it will be political by the time it's over we had to take over the kingdom and then we're going to put jesus in there That's the kingdom now Faults doctrine where we're going to get everybody christians in the government and take it over that's never going to happen And if you don't see that right now then you need to wake up Because everybody that calls himself a christian is not a christian Okay There is sin in the camp big time and it's affecting the nation Who who is it that what what and who is the church to be salt and light And it's going to at one point irritate The pastor i want everybody to like me and speak well of me well then you won't fit the church Not between now the coming of the lord Because if you live it right you're going to irritate somebody and at the same time you're a healing agent Salt is a healing agent You don't believe me Salt is a healing agent for those of you that are transplants down here you get a cut on your leg or on your arm Don't run and you'll get some neosporum anything like that run right down to the beach get in that salt water Splash around for about an hour And and the tomorrow you'll see that Soar whatever it is that cut healing up drying up Because that salt and that water Is meant to heal The church is to be that but here what i'm telling you a faithful christian life inevitably Is going to be accompanied by intense spiritual warfare and opposition If you don't know it we're in spiritual warfare right now Okay, everybody's talking about world war three in ukraine. Let me just tell you something the church and Against the forces of hell Is in opposition and in warfare right now and here what i'm telling you let me let me let me say it like this Jesus and the devil have been fighting since day one Now the promise is is that That that satan would bruise his heel but but jesus is going to crush his head So he did that at the cross So i'm not waiting on jesus to crush the head. We're just we're just watching The blueprint Of what god said is going to take place take place just like he said So i don't have to fear or worry about what's going on You know the morals going down and the feds going crazy and stock market up and down and they shut down cryptocurrency boy That was that was a shocking offer people wasn't it 60 some odd thousand dollars for a coin And the next thing you know you wake up the next day and it's dropped by 25 thousand dollars And what did they do they did exactly what everybody else did they grabbed the break and said nobody's buying or selling Well, what do you know about that? digital currency just Evaporated just like i told you So the spiritual warfare has been going on between jesus Between light and darkness between jesus and satan The reason why i say that is We already know jesus wins and the devil loses Yeah, if you didn't say amen right now and you got some questions in your heart I just want to let you know jesus wins And the devil loses in the story read the back of the book. There it is Okay for all you that need cliff notes I just gave them to you of the bible What's the point the point is this? between The kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness is the prize That's you that's humanity The more satan you can pull into hell And he cares not who it is how old you are whatever that it is from the wound to the tomb Okay Canada has just passed a law a few days ago Authorizing euthanasia and assisted suicide by the government Of the elderly What's happening? There's a spiritual warfare going on and it's all about the souls of men women boys and girls And you have a decision to make and so do i And that decision is who we're going to serve Which side are we going to fight on? There's a fight. There's a side a contrary to everybody getting a trophy these days And every team wins and both sides win and we don't want to offend anybody There are winners and losers in this great fight And the winner to the winner goes the spoils of the remnant of god called the church And if you're in the church Of the lord jesus if you're in christ Then then your desires and your passion is for the kingdom of god's sake not for your own and not for this world If i get to go boating next week fine and dandy But if i don't Because things have turned around Then then i'm not going to sit around suck my thumb and and cry baby cry because I've got a 54 foot hadros in the backyard that i need to get into water You understand what i'm saying Pastor what's that all about it's all about this it's all about the desire of your heart And if you're you must turn your heart's desire toward god and his kingdom like you never had before And when i say sacrifice i mean starting now if you haven't already to begin to cut off the things That are weights that are holding you back from a full sellout commitment to god With that in mind here's what the scripture admonishes us that i want to bring to you tonight From this passage of scripture. He says therefore thou my son be strong in the grace That is in christ jesus the first thing you need to know is about empowerment He said i'm going to empower you By the grace that's found in christ jesus So every believer needs to be filled to overflowing with the baptism of the holy ghost The tongue talking kind If you're going to endure what's going on in this world. Let me tell you your mind is flooded day after day And and and in the middle of the night you wake up and all this kind of saying you're in spiritual warfare the other night I woke up at 3 33 saw the clock 3 33 And i mean i told my wife it was like it was like on it wasn't no ramp up It wasn't like oh wake up as soon as my eyes opened up. It was spiritual warfare right in the middle of the night And so i just did what i do i just started praying and it doesn't make me More spiritual than anybody else because i can tell you when you start feeling that struggle going on You know you need the help of the lord But thank god i didn't have to wait till sunday to get baptized in the holy ghost I started praying in the holy ghost right then And and and it was a few hours of of just praying and believing in you know What's going praying for people and all that you know you can just feel the tension and the struggle going on Because that's what they call the witching hour That's when jesus walked out on the water when it got so fearful and they said look it's a ghost. He said no it's me three o'clock in the morning How many of you understand what i'm talking about Three o'clock in the morning. It's it's the middle of the night. You're you're you're right there in the struggle It isn't yet daylight and yours dark south side here you go You're in the struggle, but god says the paul says timothy I want you to understand you're going to need the empowerment now the definitions I give to you are not only biblical, but they are also from webster's dictionary It's on your paper. I didn't want you to write it down. I want you to see this It means empower it means to give someone the authority or power to do something To make someone stronger and more confident Especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights. My god, webster could preach couldn't he? Look at that. That's a classic Absolute definition of what the holy ghost does in empowering your life to claim your rights Based upon the word of god and control your life The empowerment of god He says there in chapter number two verse number one. He said thou there for my son be strong In what not in yourself You're not going to listen to me. You're not going to fight this on your own And if you attempt to you'll only get as far As your physical limitation and human limitations are Some folks have only committed one verse to their memory Jesus wept and that one ain't working on the devil no more You better get another one Come on somebody look at somebody telling me you better get another one Yeah, you better get another one. You better get another one and another one There should not be a day go by where you're not reading the word of god getting the word of god inside of you And then memorizing that thing and get it in your spirit Because the bible says when we meditate upon the word of god and hide the word of god in our heart That we might not sin against god you may not quote it exactly right, but you know it's in there You might not even know the chapter in the verse, but you know it's in there Give me a few minutes and i'll find it but right now i'm gonna pull the sword out and i'm gonna use it on you devil Come on talk to me somebody You need to be empowered look at your neighbor and tell him you need to be empowered Empowered how by grace otherwise known as the favor of the lord Otherwise known please notice this right here. He said be strong in the grace that is in what? Christ he didn't say jesus christ, did he? He said christ jesus Write this down beside christ the anointing Be strong In the favor the grace of the anointing Of jesus christ the same power that raised up the three-day dead body of jesus christ Dwells on the inside of you and ladies and gentlemen i want to make it clear the devil does not have more power than god He only has the power that god allows him to have That was all settled not in the future that was settled at the cross No man takes my life I'll lay it down and when i get ready to take it up jesus said i'll take it up And i just want to let you know the timeline mr. Devil and everybody else out there i'll be back in three days Oh, i feel like preaching right now i'll be back in three day. Look at your neighbor tell him i'll be back in three days Oh, yes assures i'm planning i'm coming up again But i won't look like i did when i went down you may have looked at me And i might have had scars and i may have had trouble and it may have looked like and i was defeated But i got news for you when you've been planted in christ There will be a resurrection and you'll put on a brand new body have a brand new life come on somebody There is the power of the holy ghost that's greater than all of the devil You are empowered by the grace of god in christ jesus The anointing of the holy spirit is upon you You need to claim it and begin to operate in the anointing and the empowerment of the holy ghost Because i'm going to tell you nobody wants to go to war with a coward soldier I need somebody's got my back when i get in the foxhole I don't need somebody over there biting their fingernails and wondering how do i put this into the chamber I need somebody who knows how to load up and shoot Come on somebody I need somebody knows how to fight when i get in the fight But he tells us that the weapons of our warfare second carinthians chapter 10 weapons of our warfare Are not carnal but mighty through god to the pulling down the strongholds casting down Imaginations all these imaginations You know most of what you're wrestling with is imagination that's been put into your head by the devil What breaks that yoke the anointing the power of the holy ghost over All the power of the enemy you need the empowerment of the holy spirit Philippians 4 13 you know that don't you? If you don't you need to commit it to memory you probably already do you might not know what it says What what where it's found right there, but Philippians 4 13 says I can do That's right I can do all things change it around a little bit. I can do all things through the anointing Who strengthens me the strength comes through the anointing I shared this in a staff meeting yesterday From Philippians 4 13 if all that we have is all I can do Then I'm limited But the book says under the anointing of the holy spirit written down Didn't leave one word out for our admonition. I can do all things through Christ through the anointing Ask david david said I don't come to you with a spear and a sword. Those are physical weapons I come to you and even the rock and the rag that I have it's not sufficient to take you down But I come to you in the name of the lord of host Are you hearing what i'm saying? You've got to be empowered In the lord be strong in the lord. That's what Ephesians 6 10 says be strong in the lord and in the power of his mic The second thing you need to know is he says to us in chapter number two In verse two and the things that thou has heard of me by many witnesses Timothy The same commit thou to faithful men Who shall be able to teach others? This is where we get this teacher Injected into this verse and what that is all about Interesting what is interesting? It is to assign the responsibility for doing something to someone Simply put What you are hearing what you are getting tonight you should if you're faithful to the kingdom It's been entrusted into you not for you to hold on to But to feed on it and pass it on to someone else Let me try that again Instead of posting all that trash on social media that you do Feel free to take what i'm teaching you here tonight and we post it Because the only thing going out there in that social medium world Is the word of god that's going to change the lives of people not the gossip not the not the You know inquirer magazine not all that kind of stuff not all of you at the 42 different Selfies that you take of yourself all in the same place in the bathroom. I don't get that And I just wish people would stop using our bathroom at pace assembly as a photo lab We've seen it God has entrusted you with the word of god. Do you realize you owe this world the gospel now that you've been born again? Who have you talked to about jesus this week? You talked to him about something Well pastor, I you know, I don't I'm I'm I'm just Talk to me You know good and well Did you talk about what you love what you want to do when you want to do it how all that kind of stuff And then you tell me you can't talk about jesus Then you need to get filled with the holy ghost because he will take care of that timidity That's the reason why the holy ghost came they were all afraid hiding until after they got filled with the holy ghost And then they stepped out and peter preached the word with boldness And it pricked their hearts I'm not saying you got to jump up on your car with the bible I'm saying drop the seeds some plants some water, but god gives the increase Come on somebody You may get to harvest it, but you all you might just be planting the seed But plant the seed whatever you do We ran into someone today and you know, I think they were checking us out somewhere and and uh Rita turns around says listen, we're the pastor's over at pace assembly and she said well, I live over there Okay, uh, then we'd like to invite you to come to church and and uh be with us in service sometimes Oh, I know right where that church is at. I'm amazed at how many people are members here, but don't come anyway I'm also amazed at how many people have keys here, but anyway That's for another time a sign He assigns the responsibility To us Who's going to do it? Well, that's your job preacher. No, it's not my job Actually, if you read this bible, my job is to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry That's what i'm doing right now. I'm equipping you i'm i'm letting you know You need to be filled with the holy ghost and be empowered so you can affect that world I'm letting you know he has entrusted you with gold with the message of the gospel And then he says if you're going to commit it to somebody commit it to people who are faithful Here's what the niv reads and things that you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses And trust to reliable men I'll put women in there too who will also be qualified to teach others reliable people Reliable people Are you reliable? Can god trust you with this word so that it won't get stuck with you, but you'll give it to somebody else Every day of your life. You should be looking for someone at that appointed time to drop that word on them Did you hear me look for that opportunity because god's going to give it to you if you're a child of god And i'm just going to tell you what happens The paul said i'm addicted to the ministry So if you're going to be addicted to something be addicted to the ministry But but let me drop this on you It becomes an adventure For the child of god when you're walking through your day you pray at the beginning of the day lord set me up Set me up Now because and i'm going to show you that not everybody needs to get the seed from you Everybody's not everybody's not able to receive what you have That's the reason why it has to be faithful reliable people who are going to hold this thing Until the anointing of god in you says this is the one you release it to today You understand what i'm saying Look for opportunity because it becomes an adventure to find out who you get to minister to today Are you hearing what i'm saying? Now if you want ministry if you want your christian life to get exciting Start looking daily for the person you get to minister to I can tell some of you missed it today I'm not getting very many amen Well pastor i work with the same people every day But are they the same every day? Or do they walk in with trouble one day? Do they walk in and say my husband just walked out on me today? And then do you start talking to him about the weather at that moment? Well, it's cloudy out here, isn't it? Oh, yeah, right perfect time You've been entrusted with something to heal the brokenhearted and to bind up their wounded spirit You're not on that job to do You're on that job to look for that opportunity that god is going to give to you And if you don't have an opportunity it's up to you get up out of your house and go find that opportunity Let me ask you a question If you knew that that tomorrow at noon Jesus christ was coming back in the clouds to get his church How would you witness between the time now and then? Who would you call? What would you look for i'm saying to you my dear friends That's the passion that i am looking for out of this house between now and the coming of the lord Because we could build programs and you know have this and all that kind of stuff going on and that's wonderful And we're going to do stuff But i'm just telling you if it's not about reaching souls and you being mobilized to get out into this community When we've got in the next few years more than five thousand homes that are coming I talked to someone just tonight who called me today and is packing up their house as i speak Putting it on the market on monday and moving to this place Because they've been watching this church And the anointing has said this Is where you need to be I say that humbly before god, but i'm telling you to whom much is given Much is required Come on talk to me somebody Now why should i not just throw the seed out any old way? Well, you should read your bible You don't need to throw in it on on places that are not going to be Uh productive and good soil, but follow what this says in the book Um of john chapter 2 listen to what jesus said this is an niv this is this is a caption Of what's taking place here John 2 23 through 25 you write that down now while he was in jerusalem jesus at the Passover feast many people saw The miracle signs he was doing and believed in his name Verse 24 this is a kicker because many people don't think that jesus would have this kind of an attitude But he read their mail their email their text And he said but jesus would not entrust himself to them For he knew all men He did not need man's testimony about him For he knew what was in a man They had their own agenda He read it Come on somebody You gotta know when to be able to place that seed And who tells you the holy spirit empowerment does that can you say amen to that? Now let's come to that word that's been troubling my soul now for weeks endure What does this word endure mean? It means suffer evil or afflictions Suffer something painful or difficult Patiently remain in existence patiently. I love that one patiently remain in existence I'm gonna try that on again Patiently remain in existence So when people look at you and say go to hell You say I don't have to I'm going to patiently remain in existence Yes, siri thorn in your flesh Have a nice day Jesus loves you by the way You ever had anybody tell you that yeah, well, I don't have to why because I've been to the cross. I don't have to go to hell And besides that you're not the one who's gonna send me there But how about you go to heaven with me Thou therefore endure hardness That word hardness means affliction It means pain and I'm just gonna tell you my friends. This is something at the church Uh, and especially in the western culture has no knowledge of They think it's a pain because it rained outside on sunday and I'm not going to church But I'm going to tell you my soul is still grieved Over the fact that we shut this church down during covet Trying to do our best to abide and and be Unifying when I find out today That the that the results are in That every bit of that shutdown was a design to push us into where we are now in a great reset And trust me not my dear friends The climate situation is going to be the next one and as I speak there's a new breakout every other week Now they tell me that dr. Fauci now has covet. We should pray for that man We should pray for that man Come on. Don't copy that attitude What's the bible say pray for those who despitefully use you and say all manner of evil against you falsely You christians. What's the next? I'm already told you several weeks ago They're getting ready for a climate shutdown and that looks like this Look, we need to be able to get all this under control. So nobody drives on sunday So we can be able to get this rolling blackouts Under control You mark my words it's coming See the stuff I say right now if you'll just go back and look over the past three years They call me conspiratorial Some of you didn't even believe what I said But you should be able to go back and take a look at it because everything that I've told you Okay Evil continues to seemingly grow But wait a minute. Jesus said Don't be all been out of shape when you see evil and wicked people Being evil and wicked and prospering what it looks like prospering Don't worry about that This ain't your home I'm gonna try that on again because somebody didn't pass it. No, I got home down the street. I'm still paying for it and Let me just say to you this ain't your home Are you a christian? Are you a believer? You better get your mind made up. This is not your home You better detach from stuff that you're attached to because if there's anything that would hold you back when the trumpet of god sounds You better turn it loose now And I don't mean your husband and you why? Bless god. They're holding me back Endure somebody say endure What does paul say he says He said this literally translates take your timothy take your scare of suffering as a good Not just a soldier a good soldier Let me ask you a question. What did you constate if you were in the military and you were on the front line out there? Somewhere afghanistan wherever it may be What would constitute a good soldier to you? Somebody who's no no surrender somebody who's faithful Somebody who's who's not jumping up for a coffee break every five minutes Well prepared Got my bag What got jesus? Yeah, that's a good thing. I'm just going to tell you and it's true Everybody has got jesus in a foxhole Nobody talking about buddha this and mohammedeo. I'm an atheist. Oh, no, it's jesus when the bullets start flying Come on somebody Our military in this house has done their their stint. They know exactly what i'm talking about. What constitutes a good soldier What is that paul is telling timothy? I need you to be a good soldier. What does that mean? Good soldiers endure. What's the first thing they do at boot camp? They push you to the absolute limit of yourself I can't do it people cry mama Why Why you seen it? You know what i'm talking about. He's military people in this room know exactly what i'm talking about They're crying for months. I want to go home all they can't no no Why because we're pushing you to the limits of yourself because when you get out there And it gets hot I won't go home. Well, you know going home Come on somebody one of my favorite people every time we've ever gone to to dc and And uh, we we go to arlington cemetery. I always like to go back by the tomb I know it's weird, but I just go by the the grave marker there of of of the most decorated soldier of world war two awning murphy At 18 years old He jumped up on the back end Of a tank with a 50 cal and took out I think it was a battalion or more of german soldiers that was coming that would have destroyed all of his men And he single-handedly took them out He was awarded the most awards of any soldier in world war two That's the kind of guy I want to go to war with I don't all right, so let's transfer that into the spirit realm You want is a good soldier somebody who prays crisis prayers or is he praying every day? Is a good soldier somebody who comes to church every once in a while or you see him faithfully sitting there on the pew and engaged in worship Come on somebody Would you call faithfulness somebody who gives their ties once every other month? Got tight then didn't it should I leave now? Endurance endurance. What do you call a good soldier? Paul says timothy a good soldier is somebody who will not only suffer his own Issues and hardships, but suffer with other people with hardships That's what makes up a a great a great military. That's they call that in the military and correct me if i'm wrong guys A band of brothers Are you hearing what i'm saying that when one goes down? We're not leaving them behind Come on now Good soldiers are y'all with me right here He said I want you to endure like good soldiers because because between now and the coming of the lord christians are going to be Persecuted like never before and paul was persecuted and christ was persecuted and he's letting his understudy Know just because you haven't hit it yet doesn't mean it didn't come in you need to be still And endure like a good soldier because your day is coming timothy when when i'm not going to be here You're gonna have to do the endurance People enlist in the military because they know they're gonna have to suffer When they enlist in the military today in a lot of cases they go okay I'm on list in the military so I get a good education And then they're shot when a gun is put in their hand and they're put on a c 130 and shipped overseas But i'm telling you that's exactly what you signed up for I want to say to all you christians You didn't sign up for a yellow brick road and I get my best life now I'm just telling you that kind of mentality and that kind of read out of the word of god is not That's the reason why people are running away from that kind of ultra faith kind of Pie in the sky that everything's great and everything's wonderful Well every time I put gas in my vehicle right now everything ain't great and everything ain't wonderful Come on somebody. I've been thinking about opening up my own refinery. Come on somebody Get me some oil and process that stuff All right, you know what i'm talking about. I might have to figure out how to get me a horse Right. There's a sway back one across the street Come on. I can get some fuel for him Come on somebody I saw somebody Put it up the other day about Battery powered cars and it was two adults and one of these little plastic jeeps you give your kid driving down the road That's where we're at boy Oh Yes, siri. I I tell you what I won't be flying on a battery powered plane If one dem tesla's only give me 200 97 miles down the road I flew more than that going to arkansas all the other day. Come on somebody I'm not going to be waiting around for a battery powered police car Oh, we can't get there ran out of juice Seven hours from now though. We'll be there as soon as we get charged up My house is burning down battery powered fire truck. What you gonna do? Oh, I'm sorry. We had to run down the road run down the road run down the road and we are out Come on church Why because we are now worshiping the creation More than the creator Romans one So i'm saying to you tonight with all the love compassion and push that I can put in this I'm saying to you tonight. You better get ready to endure some things and that's going to mean a sacrifice We've got vacation plans for disney world. You might need to rearrange it and go to months in lake What's the fourth one? Engage some I say engage What is that definition to put under a pledge? Not what you think and I'm not talking about furniture polish to put under pledge to place under obligation To do or for bear something as by a pledge an oath of promise to bind by a contract Or a promise I wanted to take that very first little bit of that verse No man that war if In other words engage The battle Are you hearing what i'm saying? Engage the battle You're not he's not calling you a soldier because you're gonna sit on the sideline No man that war if that means there's got to be an engagement of the battle That means that there's got to be That you you didn't sign up for that you didn't say yes to jesus christ and then think everything's going to be rosy between now and then did you You didn't read the book Jesus himself said They persecuted me They're going to persecute you And guess what that persecution is coming upon us right now I've gone in the grocery store and start praying out loud Watch people look crazy at you And now what you're going to do you're going to keep praying What pastor I I wouldn't I wouldn't do that there. Well do it in the restaurant You pray over your meal or do you go? You better teach your children how to pray one of the most horrible lines In a movie clip that I found Uh one hollywood star was doing this movie and it's supposedly going to the moon or whatever in the world You know, it's amazing. They got more apocalyptic things going on on the movies than the bible And the line in there by that by that movie star said Nobody taught me how to pray The tragedy of the next generation will be is that mom and daddy didn't teach their children how to pray Because they never saw it and they never heard it You better teach your children and your grandchildren how to pray Engaged where I engage the battle I engage the battle in prayer That's my spiritual warfare going on not that i'm going to get up and sock somebody in the mouth We don't wrestle with flesh and blood But with principalities and powers Are you hearing what i'm saying? Engaging that number five entanglement. This is a big deal right here. What does it mean to complicate? Look at this to complicate To emesh or to twist or interweave in such a manner as not easily being separated to make confused Entangled like yarn or like hair To involve in such listen to this to involve in such complications as to render Extrication a bewildering difficulty. Are we there right now or not? He said no man that wariff So the implication is here if you're a christian you're in the war Now you're a promised victory, but there's going to be some hits And sometimes from unsuspecting places I got mine today There's nothing worse than being labeled with people of false preachers and All that kind of thing But you know what? Because I know who I am and I know who he is I quit reading crayon messages a long time ago Why because if I spend my time Like this now watch what i'm about. This is this is important If I spend my time So focused in that which is the which is the devils That is the tactic of satan strategy There were some events that most of you don't even know that happened They said and we haven't been able to locate it but said this past weekend of people in this building right here There was desecrating that service Right here in this building Okay Doing things that not even married people would do in the building Why is that because the enemy wants to distract you From what you're supposed to be doing He warns us don't get entangled in stuff Now i'm about to show you something And I've never I've read this and I've preached from this passage of scripture I don't know how many times but listen very carefully to the absolute literal translation and definition of this particular passage of scripture no man that warrants entangle it himself with the affairs of this life Why so that he may please him who chose him to be a soldier first of all I want to take the back side of that to tell you this the one you're supposed to please Is god Everybody else must come alongside Are you hearing what i'm saying if you try to please everybody I'm gonna please my wife. I'm gonna please my husband. You will never do that I appreciate you. I love you, but you'll spend a lifetime and the next thing you know You're mentally worn out because you are unable to satisfy or reach the level of what god alone Has said in your life for you to reach I think I just helped myself with marriage counseling right there If you please the lord the bible says he'll make even your enemies to be at peace with you Are y'all listening here What's the point the point is this if I'll please the lord god will work out the rest of it Am I pleasing the lord? I gotta hurry here. I gotta put this in your in your spirit So this passage of scripture literally translates are you still with me here? Okay a good soldier also Cannot get entangled in the affairs of this life The word affairs Deals with this It is dealing with the affairs of state. It is the word we get Pragmatism from Which pertains to business? civil or government business in other words He is talking primarily of getting entangled in political and governmental Stuff warring with that Trying to resist the government Well if somebody would preach this right here, this would straighten out all this mess Between what's going on and people trying to elevate personalities who were previous presidents to being the messiah of the united states of america I don't worship the president. I worship jesus christ. I already got a messiah Stop trying to entangle yourself. Well pastor you're all the time talking about politics and all that kind of stuff Listen, he didn't say don't engage it But don't get entangled in it Don't let that have control and tangles up your life that you're so consumed with that that you're no good to the kingdom of god Because you're all been out of shape With the cares of this life That's the reason why he said politics is not your fight. Let me give you the insight Whatever is going on now somebody stole the election Don't get entangled in that First of all that election is gone Come on now. I'm about to hurt somebody's feelings right now I've been looking forward to this point that all night long So I stole the election. We got to do this. We got to do that. You are operating in an entanglement That you will never get out of you know why because once you and once you entangle yourself in that particular secular Mindset worldly activity that is under the control of the devil You will be the one who is confused Why does god i'm about to shout right now Why does god say don't entangle yourself for the affairs of this life? Because there's a new government coming And it's not trump and it's not biden and it's not obama or whoever else is on the horizon It is the kingdom of our god and of its christ and of its kingdom there shall be no end So i'm worried about what's going on down here I'm gonna vote i'm gonna do my best to be a good citizen But they're gonna take this government and everything straight down to hell the bible already predicts what's going on The antichrist is gonna set up his kid if you're worried about the president now Don't be here when the antichrist becomes president of the world Whatever it is right now. He's gonna raise your taxes. You think it's bad now He's gonna raise your taxes. You ain't gonna be able to buy or sell You're gonna have to have the mark of the beast ladies and gentlemen by the time that gets here I'll be sitting at the marriage supper of the lamb with the bride of christ and when it's all said and done His kingdom shall come Thy kingdom come Thy will be done Say amen somebody I don't have time to get to the rest of this I'm all i'm i'm i'm gonna suspend right here. I can't handle the rest of this Tonight y'all all right with that? Good Glad I took a poll vote And I think I stole the election it'll be all right Are you getting what i'm telling you here tonight? Endure hardness like a good soldier you need to get yourself prepped up and and built up in your spirit Don't let people talk you out of coming to church talk you out of serving the lord Talk to you out of loving your spouse talk you out of raising your kids the way that you are wanting to raise your children In the godly admonition of the fear of the lord Don't let people talk you out of talking in tongues and and and breathing the breath of god in worship Wherever you are All that intimidation that's going on in the world that you you know you walk down the mall everything right now It's all about pride isn't it in that amazing pride? And that's the one thing that god said I hate even a proud look But I want to make sure y'all understand because there have been a lot of people that's been comparing The pride flag of six colors But I want to remind you that the covenant of god is seven colors Man's number is six god's number is seven He'll never match up to the covenant of god they can mock it They can do everything they want to and wave the flag, but i'm just going to tell you god's number is seven come on somebody That's the reason why you can't get entangled in it. Don't fight with anybody. Just love everybody Pray for those who despitefully use you get yourself built to endure the battles that are coming ahead Because here's what I see Because of the biblical illiteracy that's happened in our world over the past decade or more Even i'm talking about in church Right now as when I when I was being raised it was Sunday school 945 whoever made that up 945 I don't know why we went quarter hour But we did 945, okay 945 Sunday school that was our discipleship time People don't come to Sunday school anymore How am I going to how am I going to be prepared? You know what god's saying it's going to be up to you individually to get your own bible out You got podcast you got bible you got worship you got youtube you got every other resource possible feed yourself Listen if you're going to get fat on something get fat on the word of god Dig in get the word of god in your spirit because your challenge is coming and here's what I see I see You being challenged in your faith And here's what here's what peter said be ready to give a defense for the gospel In other words, he's not talking about getting up and fighting with somebody He's saying know what you're supposed to know in the word of god so that when somebody confronts you with your faith Well, you know Cain married his sister Look at the lock up in this room People send me these questions Some of y'all go Who's cain you really read your bible? Because you is one right now I'm saying that your faith is going to be confront it's going to be confronted And you cannot stand there if you're a good soldier With no bullet spiritually speaking Click click click And the enemy goes ha you ain't got nothing you don't even believe it You hadn't read your bible enough to be able to know what it is. Listen to me. The devil knows that word. He tried to use it on jesus You better know that word. You better be filled with the holy spirit and actually engage the warfare. How do I do that? Wherever you are is light You're salt and light right Right That's not a trick question. You're supposed to be salt and light Some of y'all need to change your dimmer switch for an actual switch In certain settings And certain when I get to church boy God don't like that. He said if you're luke warm i'm gonna vomit you out of my mouth So you better be hot or cold come on somebody if you're gonna be a heathen just go all the way out But if you're gonna be safe get all the way in Engage empower yourself Be filled with the holy spirit on a daily basis. Are you praying in tongues? If you'll pray in the spirit, you'll be praying perfect prayers. God will set you up He'll give you the strength you need to whatever it is my prayer when i'm coming to work lord I don't know what today may hold But give me the wisdom give me the understanding give me the strength to face whatever that it may be today And give me the right words to say at that very moment And you know what the bible says when you stand before the magistrate god will give you words he'll put words in your mouth Have you ever been there before? He'll put words in your mouth How many of you want the lord to use your life in these last days? Let me see your hand father for every hand that you see lifted up right now and those that are watching online I pray that your spirit would now empower them like they've never been empowered before We recognize that these are the last days. We're not guessing at it We're not we're not having to present it like it's some far-off thing Lord it is right now upon us among us and we must be last day believers empowered And ready to endure The battle no matter what it takes. I might have to take mocking. I might have to take ridicule I might have to face stuff lord like i've never faced before but give me the strength Like paul said like timothy said to endure Like a good soldier And I give you glory for this great church that's going to be used in these last days To be an oasis to the nations and we give you praise for it right now in jesus name And everybody believes it shout a great big amen Now when you stand up i want you to find some money and smile at them and tell them you're a good soldier Amen, all of you watching online. Don't miss this weekend as father's day We're going to celebrate the dads this weekend. Don't miss it
