Psalm 18.1. I love you, Lord. Everybody say you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior. My God is my rock, in whom I find protection. God is available to be so much more to you than most people have him as. He is my shield, the power that saves me. And my place of safety. I called on the Lord who is worthy of praise. And he saved me from my enemies. Great job, F.A. Great job, all singers and all musicians. It's nice to have born-again Christians playing music in church. Many of the musicians where I travel, they look so sad. I might give two altar calls for now, one for the band, and then the crowd after. I called on the Lord who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. The ropes of death entangled me. Floods of destruction swept over me. The grave wrapped its ropes around me. Death laid a trap in my path. But in my distress, I cried out to the Lord. Somebody is going to be delivered from death permanently today. Permanently until you die. But in my distress, I cried out to the Lord. Yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me. He heard me from his sanctuary. My cry to him reached his ears. Then the earthquaked and trembled. The foundations of the mountains shook. They quaked because of his anger. A smoke poured from his nostrils. Fierce flames leapt from his mouth. Glowing coals blazed forth from him. Dark storm clouds were beneath his feet. Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dark rain clouds. Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him and rained down hail and burning coals. The Lord thundered from heaven. The voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and burning coals. He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies. Great bolts of lightning flashed and they were confused. Then at your command, O Lord, at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare. He reached down from heaven and rescued me. In both campuses, lift your hands to the Lord and say it from your spirit. He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me. They attacked me in a moment when I was in distress. But the Lord supported me. He led me to a place of safety and he rescued me because he delights in me. The Lord rewarded me for doing right. He restored me because of my innocence. For I have kept the ways of the Lord. I have not turned from my God to follow evil. I have followed all his regulations. I have never abandoned his decrees. I am blameless before God. I have kept myself from sin. The Lord rewarded me for doing right. Second time. Everybody say there's a reward for doing right. Most churches only teach the I don't even know if most do that now, but if anybody even does get into it, they get into the punishment and curse for wrongdoing. But how many of you are thankful there's a blessing for doing what's right? And you're doing what's right. You're in the house of God on Sunday morning, so get ready for a divine reward. Can you say amen? The Lord rewarded me for doing right, he has seen my innocence. To the faithful, you show yourself faithful. To those with integrity, you show integrity. To the pure, you show yourself pure, but to the crooked, you show yourself shrewd. You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud. You light a lamp for me. The Lord my God lights up my darkness. In your strength, I can crush an army. Put it up in the King James, if you would, 29. In your strength, I can crush an army. With my God, I can scale any wall. For by thee I have run through a troop, and by my God I have leaped over a wall. 30. As for God, his way is perfect. The word of the Lord is tried, he is a buckler to all that trust in him. Now, if you don't know what that means, that's why they made the New Living Translation. Do 30 NLT 1830 NLT. God's way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove true. He is a shield to all who look for protection. I'm gonna play a video that I've played before, but this was put out by the World Economic Forum. And one of the reasons, not all the reasons, but one of the reasons we preach what we preach is there's a plan. If you're gonna have a one-world government, then you can't have a strong sovereign nation anywhere. And you certainly can't have anything like the United States. So the attempt for open borders was not, had nothing to do with immigration, it was an attempt to overburden this country and collapse it. And God answered our prayers, and now everything's going in another direction. But while it is, one of the reasons why any communistic anti-Christ enterprise hates churches and hates the Bible is for the devil to dominate, he needs you weak. He needs you full of marijuana and docile and in debt and working and the state raise your kids. But the Bible makes people strong. It makes them strong financially, it makes them strong physically, it makes them strong in their mind, and you become a person that's too strong for the devil to take over. We have a church full here in Pittsburgh. We got another church full in Texas, and today you're gonna know God as your strength in Jesus' name. Here's the plan of the enemy as revealed by the enemy. Pause it. You'll own nothing and be happy. So when people preach against prosperity, they're actually, whether wittingly or unwittingly, some of them are paid to do it. And some of them are just too stupid to know what they're preaching. You're aiding that communist antichrist spirit. What does he need a house that big for? Why does he have a jet? Why are they spending all that money on that church? How about just my go play Tetris and mind your own business? There's a thing called private wealth and private ownership. And that is something that's of God. God didn't say, if you serve me, I'll bless the community. He said, I'll bless you. And I'll bless your children. And I'll bless your children's children. Every politician that runs from now through November, you're gonna hear a ton of them say, if I get in, we're gonna make early child care available. I would have my child join the Navy SEALs at 13 before I would put them in state-run care. They get abused, they get taught everything anti-God. You're not raising my child, and you're not determining what I do with my family. I'm gonna buy God's strength, I'm gonna have God bless my house and my family, and so will you. Keep going. Plus. So there's the plan. The U.S. will not be the world's leading superpower. Says who? I think you forgot about somebody. Me and you. Don't make plans for my country without consulting me, please. Because righteousness exalts a nation. As this church grows, Pittsburgh's gonna get brighter. As the church grows in Texas, Texas that's already doing well is gonna do even better. The secret, when churches get weak, like they have in Canada, nations go down, another spirit comes in. But when churches get strong, the nation prospers, and the people of that nation prosper. Keep going. Yeah, global warming. It's the first week of May. It was thirty-four last night. No power, no electricity, no way to travel. Yeah, you can go first. Scientists haven't even worked out how to keep us healthy on earth. Pause it. What what what what uh what words could you substitute for Western values? Western values is code for what? Christianity. So the attack on Christianity is necessary if you're gonna have a one-world government and a one-world religion. They hate. I mean, good God. Maybe one day in the future, we'll call a special service and I'll just have Patrick play his recordings of the Moon Township City Councils about our church. You talk about hate. How can you hate a church? There's people, the traffic. Meanwhile, there's this thing called the NFL draft. So I don't want to hear anything about traffic anymore. You know that did you know that Pittsburgh was traffic free until we started this church? Those people are a problem. The hatred for Christianity comes from that antichrist spirit. And then if you have to have it, you know, even Joseph Stalin allowed worship services in the Soviet Union. These people, you know, we can't we can't kill all the Christians, so let them have their service, but you can have small churches and they don't make much noise, and you just get it out of your system. And most churches all over America are in compliance, not all, but most are in compliance with that system. You throw a rainbow flag up on the outside of your church to let that spirit know I'm not gonna be a problem, I surrender. But when you decide to have a big church, book of Acts, church, small or big? Increasing or decreasing? Miracles or no miracles? Loud or quiet? Yeah, Acts 2. Everybody came running to hear the loud noise. Building was shaken. So we have decided we're not gonna have the kind of church that the Antichrist is comfortable with. We're gonna have a church that destroys the spirit of Antichrist. Continue. I mean, even the music sounds like what they play on the waiting room when you're going to hell. It's like ominous. There's no anointing on it. So if you can see they want you weak. You won't own anything, you'll live where we tell you, nobody will have homes. We'll all live in condos where you can easily be told you can't leave the house. They don't want you with land, they don't want you with a home, they don't want you raising your children. And so they the devil needs you weak in order to have his way. You know where you get that from in the Bible? Let me see, James 4 7. Submit yourselves to God, therefore, brethren. Resist the devil, and he will flee. If he's not fleeing, you're not resisting. The devil has lost all his power. The Bible says Jesus stripped him of all his power. He's wearing a general's uniform, but he's been thrown out of the military. He's not even the God of this world anymore, as far as a Christian is concerned, because Adam was made in charge of the world. Adam forfeited it to the devil, and when Christ came, he took the keys from Satan and he's holding them for the church. So the devil needs you so weak that you don't resist. They said, My child has to get vaccined. They said that my child, um, you know, my child Bernie, he he wants to be a girl, and they said that that's normal. They, they, they, they, they, they, because you're weak. Because you let people tell you how to live instead of the word of God tell you how to live. But when the word comes in, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God at work. Saving everyone who believes, then there's power. There's power. You can't be ruled by an unclean spirit. Can you say amen? Strength for the final hour. If the Bible says one of the signs of the final hour is that people are going to lose their strength, men's hearts will fail them because of fear. Then I not only want you to know today that God is your strength, but all of the ways that He'll strengthen you. You may have come in here the weakest person in Pennsylvania, in Texas, but you're leaving here strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Are you ready? Psalm 27:1. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? Number one, strong in the Lord, the source of all strength, general strength. You know, how many know God wants us weak? No, he doesn't. If he wanted you weak, he could just give you heroin, methamphetamine, some drug that makes you weak. God came, God sent Jesus, his son, in the flesh to take man who had been crippled by sin, weakened by the power of the devil, and return the strength of God into their life. That strength is entering you today in Jesus' name. Everybody said, Be strong in the Lord. Now, Jesus, by a mystery, is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven. That's none of that mysterious. But then the Bible says he also lives where? Let me see Galatians 2.20. But Christ lives in you, the hope of glory. So this life I now live in the flesh, I live. I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. So I want you today to be God inside conscious. Hey, no, he'll never stop running after us. Well, then why don't you just stand still and let him catch you? And then let him come into your heart and live on the inside. Say with me, Christ in me. I'm crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live. Yet it's not I, but Christ lives in me. Christ isn't there as a statue or a symbol. His life is in me. That Texas clip of the lady that came in on a walker. I felt that life surge. Jenny, what'd you name your daughter, your oldest daughter? Which means what? The life of God. It's a Greek word, the life of God. How do you stone? How do you drag Paul out of the city and stone him to death? And then the believers gather around him to bury him, and he pops up out of the rocks and walked right back into the city. Men and brethren, ladies and sisters, we are not peddling a weak crutch of religion to help you get through life. We are talking about you shall receive power. Somebody shall have power. That power is coming into you right now, the substance of faith. And then so it's not you trying to be strong, it's learning to access those rivers of living water. Let me see John 7.37. Then I gotta get trucking in this message. John 7.37. You say, isn't that the same outfit you were in Toronto? Mind your own business. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. 38. He that believeth on me, not apostles, not prophets, not evangelists, not pastors. Anyone who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly will flow. I'm gonna tell you this, and then I'm gonna get trucking. Because I gotta get moving. You know, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water. That's why it's not that I'm long-winded as a preacher. It's just it's dangerous to turn that fire hose on. It's hard to shut it down. Now, if I stop for about 45 minutes, I can stop. But I'm telling you, once I get preaching, it wouldn't make any difference if there was a line of people outside right now and we're gonna have a one o'clock, and then we're gonna have a four o'clock, and then we're gonna have uh an eight o'clock, and then we're gonna have a midnight service. And I believe before Jesus comes back, the day will come where there'll be lines wrapped, and you won't know when one service ends and the other begins. There'll be such a hunger for God that that river will just keep flowing. Can you say amen? So say with me. I'm God inside, conscious. I'm not chasing him, he's not running after me, he dwells in me. And then, since he does, you can access that life. It's not you trying to be strong, it's just let the river flow. Nine, nine, uh, ten days ago now. I was just trying to have a uh YouTube broadcast. And when that lady said, When are you coming to Toronto? I felt that old timers called it quickening. Go. So I said, We're going. Then the place, I mean, last night was a divine meeting, so over because it's not my idea, and it's not my doing, it's the Lord's doing, and it's wondrous to behold. All of this in four years is Jesus. Everything you don't like about this church, blame me. Everything good came from Jesus because he's alive in me and he's alive in you. Hallelujah. Number one, strong in the Lord. Number two, Isaiah 54, 14. In righteousness shalt thou be established, thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear. Hallelujah. And from terror, for it shall not come near thee. Hallelujah. The righteous are as bold as a lion. You don't, you just have a an insane amount of non-fear. Not you trying to be tough. I got off the plane. I want I won't say what nation, because in West Africa. And this guy wants a uh a bribe. I said, I lean, I took the leather satchel he gave me to pay and gave it back to him and said, I'm not giving you anything. Now, you know I know it was the Holy Ghost, because I was tired. I just woke up. I was in a really good mood. I was like, yo. Easy lying up the trap of Judah. You know, and then have you ever yelled at somebody that felt good, so you just keep going. I went and spread the word that I'm not giving anybody any of God's money to do anything. So then another guy comes over with an AK-47. You know, because you're you're yelling in the customs office with a beret on. And I said, Oh, you have a gun? You better shoot me. My president's looking for someone to blow up. He put the gun back on his shoulder and went like this. So then the the head of the guys come come over and he goes, What's all the yelling? He said, Please stop yelling. I said, I won't stop yelling because this man. Asked me for a bribe and told me he won't let me into the country. I said, if you're not gonna let me in the country, then put me back on the plane. He said, You think I care if I go take a first-class flight back to Pittsburgh and go see my wife and child? Walk me back right now or let me through, but stop talking to me. Now he had a gun, but I had a bigger gun. And the guy said, the guy said, I never asked for bribe to a superior. I pulled the leather satchel off his hand. I said, Then why did you open this to me? Do you want a picture of my family? Please go, please go. You can go. You may go, go. Yeah, I'm not paying. That's like the zillion time. The first time I ever went overseas was to India. And then the second time was to a place in Central Africa. I won't say where. I land, the guy says, I need your yellow card. I said, I had to turn in my yellow card to get to here, and you know that. I was 34. He said, Um, oh, that's gonna be a problem. I said, what kind of problem? The kind that ends with me giving you money. I'm not giving you anything. He said, then I won't let you through. I said, I'm going through anyway. And I walked by him. And it felt super good. But then after like nine steps, when he was coming after me, I thought, oh, this is not good. And then other people were coming. And so I thought, what am I gonna do? And I thought, well, don't turn around. You know, it's like OJ going to Mexico. Keep driving. I was just like OJ Simpson in that Bronco. At a low speed, I was headed to where I wasn't allowed to go. They're coming at me, and I thought, I don't know what I'm gonna do. And it'd be like if those double doors were to get into the airport where I hadn't been cleared for yet, like to get my bags. I popped the door open, and there's a massive, built Central African bray-wearing machine gun carrying soldier. And if you think I'm white now, you've seen how white I got then. I thought, well, this is how it ends. Couple old bullet holes in the chest for old Johnny. Dallas is young and pretty, she'll remarry, no problem. I had a good run. And the guy turns around with his angry face and goes, Brother Jonathan. I said, You know me? He said, I watch you every day on TV. I said, That's great. Please tell him to leave me alone. And he marched toward that guy, and the guy turned around and ran, and I went through to the other side. If you'll stand for God, God will stand for you. Whatever you're facing right now, you're not gonna get yourself out. Be strong, be up a good time. Somebody shout, Hello! You be seated. I know these stories sound insane. If you don't believe them, I don't blame you, but if you hung around me a little bit, you'd start believing them. I was at a place of business in the greater Pittsburgh area. This lady was uh had the side of her head shaved. We were doing business, and she didn't know me, and she goes, uh, I said, uh, what are you up to today? And she went, My wife and I are going out for dinner. Like thinking, I'm gonna, you know, like I I never went to public school or anything. I go, oh my god, oh my god. And I did the exact it was and let the river flow. My wife and I are going out to dinner. I said, You have a wife? She went, yes, I do. Me too, and held my hand up for a high five, and I got the most reluctant high five in high five. I went, they're great, right? Make cookies and everything. Broker. She'd loosen right up, we start talking, and then I come in the next time. You know? My ex, she made a point to tell me. Saturday hair's kind of grown in. Where's your church at? I was confirmed a Methodist as a girl. I'm thinking about going back. I said, You should come back. You meet my wife. Our mutual thing we had in common. Can you say amen? Hey, but say, let the river flow. So isn't it interesting how Jesus works? You'd think you'd yell at the lesbian and be nice to the guy with the machine gun, but God has you yell at the guy with the machine gun and be nice to the lesbian. Those are three sentences you never thought you'd hear on Sunday morning, but you heard them and you can't take them back. You're going to the other side. Every enemy that God let the devil rain against you, God's giving you the way. In righteousness shalt thou be established, thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear. Who's playing organ? You're doing a great job. I like the organ, I like all the stuff they tried to kick out of church. I'm gonna take out a billboard in Pittsburgh that says Revival Today Church for people that like church. There's all these new churches for people who hate church. Don't go. I like the house of God. In righteousness shalt thou be established, thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near thee. Jude 124. Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling and present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. Number two, strong in holiness. Everybody say, I'm strong in the Lord. I'm strong in holiness. Now, in the name of Jesus, that strength will keep you from sin. You won't say what other morons say. We all sin every day, we all miss it every day. Have you missed it today? I doubt it. You haven't had time, and you're in church. Well, just take the remaining hours and keep your feet on the path of life and begin to live a life of righteousness and holiness. Number two, what kind of strength? Strong in holiness. Number three, Romans 4 20. He staggered not at the promises of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Number three, strong in faith, unshakable confidence in God's word. Unshakable confidence in God's word. Unshakable confidence in God's word. Number four, 2 Timothy 2, 1. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. You know, just because we all have access to grace doesn't mean everybody walks in the same level of grace. Bible talks in the New Testament about frustrating grace. Don't frustrate the grace of God. The Bible says that he resists the proud but gives more grace to the humble. So you have it, but access it. It would say strong in grace. I have a grace on me to travel. I have a grace on me now to plant churches. I don't even like the word plant. I like pioneer. Like the old times used to say, because it's not planting, it's pioneering. But there's a grace for it. It's easy. How are you able to do it? Because I'm not doing it. It's not I, but the grace of God through me. I'll be more rested after this service than I was before the service. Because it's grace. Bless you, I'm the preacher. That sneeze would have cleaned the whole church out five years ago. Strong in grace. So just like you can frustrate grace, you can have the Lord resist you, He can also give you more grace. Lift your hands all over this place. Let grace be multiplied. There's another scripture. Let grace be multiplied unto you. Whatever grace you're operating in right now, grace to build. You know, uh Abel Griffiths that's been building this building. I laid hands on him Wednesday night after you guys left. I walked back in. The Lord said, Lay hands on him. I said, Let may there be a greater grace and more strength for your body as you build. That guy went out under the power and shook on the ground because there's grace to do the work of the Lord, there's grace to be a mother, there's grace to be a father, there's grace to be a business owner. Stop saying, I don't know if I can make it, and start saying, Thank you, God, for grace to get the job done. If you receive it, shout amen like thunder. Number five, Ephesians 3:16, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man. Number five, strong in your spirit and strong in your inner man. Number six, strong in heart. Talking like like like 17th-century British knights type of English. Courageous, heart, like the cowardly lion needed a heart. They must say, strong in heart. Psalm 31, 24. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart. Hallelujah! See, the battle you face in life is not with the devil, he's under your feet. It's by not letting your flesh and your mind take over and make you think things that are in the Bible, then speak things. I'm just weak, I don't know how I'm gonna make it. Every time you start to feel that way, learn to lift your hands and say, Thank you, God, that grace is multiplied unto me, and where I was weak, now I'm strong. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Number six, strong in heart. Number seven, Isaiah 40, 29, he giveth power to the faint and to them that have no might, he increaseth strength. And that's talking about physical strength. Seven, strength or strong in body. Everybody say divine health, divine vitality. So because Christ lives in you, you can access his strength not just for your heart, not just for your spirit, man. You can access his strength for your physical body. Can you say amen? Number eight. I want to expound on it. Deuteronomy 33, 25. Thy shoes shall be iron and brass. And as thy days are, so shall thy strength be. That means according to scripture, your strength is not allowed to dissipate while you're still alive. And I'll be the last person that tells you that until you come back to church Sunday, and you're gonna watch about a hundred commercials. I was watching Bishop Oyadel on YouTube last night and this morning. And the ads that came on when I'm trying to listen to healing in faith. Or uh, you know, what if you get cancer and some every people have life insurance but they don't have insurance? What if you live but you have cancer and you can't work? Always trying to get you to think about death. You know, you're in your 40s now, you're in your 50s now, you're in your 60s now. Caleb was 85 and said, I'm as strong today as I was when I was 40, and I can still travel in flight. Give me the mountain that God has promised me. In this church, your strength will not run out, your strength will increase. We have we have about 2,200 people on the roll here in Pittsburgh, and we're in month five. We've had no funerals this year. We've had four total funerals in four years. Two of them church members, two of them not church members. You know why? Because we preach this part of the Bible. What you don't hear preached, you never have, but what you hear preached, you get. Do most churches have only a little funeral? No, they have so many people dying, they've converted the side yard to a cemetery to save time. What happened to your church? They're all right there. They're converting the youth room to a crematorium, but not here. And we'll say with long life. Deuteronomy 34, 7. And Moses was 120 years old when he died, his eye was not dim, and his natural force was not abated. Isaiah 40. Do you hear that? Moses was 120, and that was not when people were living till they were 600. That's an R spin. Moses was 120 years old when he died, his eye was not dim. You know, when you get older, it gets hard to see the small print. Listen, I get it. At those steakhouses, I'm this close to getting a state trooper mag light to read the menu. But I'm not losing my vision, I'm not having cataracts, I'm not conceding any part of my body to the devil. His eyes were not dim, and his natural force was not abated. Isaiah 46, 4. And even to your old age, I am say this out loud. As I get old, God doesn't abandon me. The opposite. And even to your old age, I am he. And even to whore hairs. I'll be honest with you. I got a degree in theology. I don't have a sweet clue what that means. Glad there's not a W in front of that H. I will carry you. I have made and I will bear. Even I will carry and will deliver you. Even to your old age, I will carry you. I have made you. I will bear you. Even I will carry and will deliver you. Now listen, you see my little girl I have, Camila, get blessed ridiculously at nine and ten and eleven and thirteen. God doesn't care if you're young. He'll bless you when you're young and he won't forget about you when you get old.

unknown 36:14

Your greatest blessing.

SPEAKER_02 36:22

Strong and old age. Finishing full, not fading out. Number nine, Deuteronomy 20 and 11. And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods in the fruit of thy body and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord swore unto thy fathers to give thee. Ecclesiastes 5:19, you'll own nothing and be happy. Want to bet? Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth and hath given him power to eat thereof and power to take his portion. That's what this church is. They tried to kick us out of Pittsburgh, but God gave us power to take our portion. Receive that power. And to rejoice in his labor. This is the gift of God. Psalm 115, 14. The Lord shall increase you more and more. You and who else? Ever say my children are blessed. God will increase you, and God will increase your children. Hallelujah. Anybody arguing online about how big Joel Osteen's home is? Tough luck. What do you think is gonna happen to somebody that their dad spent every Monday just signing checks to send to missionaries? Church sent tens of millions of dollars in the 80s and 90s. It'd be like hundreds of millions. What do you think is gonna happen to the kids? If you're upset about Joel, you should check out his brother and sister. They're rich too. So tough freaking luck. Quit minded what God's doing for other people. Quit getting jealous about other people's blessings. Don't be an Esau, don't be a Cain, be an Abel, be a Jacob. Get what God has for you. Continuing with today's message. Number 10, strong against the devil. James 4, 7. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Strength to stand against the devil. Hallelujah. Satan is not over your head. Satan is not eye to eye. Satan is under your feet. If Satan's under your feet, how much further are demons? There's a major principality in this area. Well, tell it, unfortunately for him, I read Ephesians. And you and all your buddies are under my feet. If the demons are under Satan and Satan's under your feet, how much further are witches? Brother Jonathan, I think this lady that moved into my apartment complex is a witch. And I think she's been putting curses on me. After today, there's gonna be a witch going to her meeting in the woods saying, I think the lady that moved into our complex is a Christian, and I think she's been praying in the spirit, and none of my squirrel blood works anymore. All of my frog blood doesn't work anymore. All the things we do to conjure up some kind of imitation power, it's not working because the greater one lives on the inside of you. Witches are under your feet, the devil is under your feet, satanic power is under your feet. I feel bad for you, son. We've had 99 problems, but a witch ain't one. The last day the devil ever had a victory in your life will be the last day you ever had, because you're gonna be able to do that. 1 Corinthians 15, 58. See how many of these are there? That's why I didn't tell you how many up front because it would have depressed you. 1 Corinthians 15, 58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. For as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Number 11, power or strength to stand. Be immovable. Couldn't move us out of 107, couldn't move us out of the soccer place, couldn't move us out of Baywood, because then this opened up and you'll never move us out of here because we're immovable. Every time, think of it, every building the enemy tried to attack us in, God gave us a bigger and better one. You almost hope they start attacking here because whatever the enemy means for evil, if you'll stand, having done it all to stand there for brother, instead, if you'll stand what the enemy meant for evil, God not only will give you the victory, God will turn it off in Jesus. Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against thee. Me. Twelve. Strong in warfare. I'm really in some spiritual warfare. Then win it. Christians were in the UFC, they'd go back to their corner. There's a man trying to punch me. Yes. Yes, yes, there is. Fortunately, God gave you two fish and two feet. Strong in warfare. Has subdued under me those that rose up against me. Psalm 1839. Strong in warfare. Victory over all your enemies. Lift your hands all over this place. Everything that represents an enemy. Man, I feel good. I'm not seven pounds. I can like feel. I can feel my preaching. I don't have seven pounds on my belly going, stop talking. Strength, can you say amen? Hallelujah. Power over your enemies. Are enemies in life real? Oh yeah. But God's given you power over all your enemies. Congratulations in advance. Not just for victory, but for victory after victory. In Jesus' name. Number 13, Colossians 1:11. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering and joyfulness. Strengthened with all might. Are you ever wrong to quote God? So instead of waking up and saying or driving to work, I don't know how I'm gonna make it. Then I here's our memory verse for today. Let's do a Baptist memory verse. Colossians 1 11. Strengthened with all might. You, not him, you, according to his mighty power, his glory. Strengthened with all might. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't know how I'm gonna make it. Father, thank you that I've been strengthened with all might. According to your glorious power. Who's ever been here when Bishop Daggy would know to preach? Goes till about midnight. Then on the last night, he meets with all of his pastors from Ghana. When we were at Baywood, he met with all his pastors from Ghana until six in the morning. Let him ask questions and stuff, and then went straight to the airport to get on the plane to preach. He is 61 years old. Strengthened with see who you hang around will determine what hangs around you. If you think when I turn 61, I'm gonna hang out with a bunch of other 61 year olds. Walking like Babe Ruth at the old timers game. Kenneth Hagin Jr., the last time I saw him, told me he was at the mall the day before he saw me. And there was a guy having trouble getting out of a car. And he said, Let me help you, sir. And he took under his arm and helped him out. Got him situated on his walker. And the guy said, Thanks. Us old guys have to stick together. Kenneth Hagin said, uh, how old are you? I said, 61. He said, I'm 86. Yeah, you, you, you chose to get old. And he chose to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Now I'm gonna tell you, if you're in rough shape physically, don't be condemned. Be like my father Tiff. That when the devil tried to take him out physically, he realized Christians heal faster because you might have gotten a shot in, but this power on the inside of me is gonna overwhelm whatever the devil tried to put in my life. And it didn't. And what God did for him, he's doing for you. We will have the healthiest, handsomest, strongest seniors of any church in North America. Texas and Pennsylvania. These churches are declared a cancer-free cell. If you believe in shout, amen like thunder. Number fourteen. Where's Brother F? You got a good speech, you look like a midfielder for Manchester United. Number fourteen. And the American tenure. Of rich food. And sweet drinks. And share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before the Lord. Don't be rejected. This is a Bible command. And don't be sad. Repeal that from your life. I've caught myself one time I was walking in the mall and I caught my reflection in the window and I thought, good Lord, I look like that. I thought I was just like walking. I look like the third guy from the left on the evolution journal. You look terrible and you don't know it. You've allowed a dull look to come in your eye. So you can say different things when you take the offering first. You have a dull look in your eye. You've allowed yourself, you're sighing all the time. My wife and I have a joke. If one of us sighs, we go, you battle on oppression. Because there's a verse in the Bible about sighing and being oppressed. The people of God. Let me see the scripture. It's in the Psalms, I believe. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord. The sign of robust, healthy Christianity. It is an unbreakable joy. Joyful are those who live like this. Psalm one forty one forty-four fifteen. Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord. In his presence is fullness of joy. Not a little bit of joy. Fullness of joy. You know how fullness of joy is that lady from Texas wearing the uh shotgun stuff run. Kicking her knees up to here. Bible says, when that man that was crippled, when Peter said, Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk. Then the man went walking and leaping and praising God. That lady with that suicide disease came to that meeting to testify. I was gonna die, but Jesus made me alive. I gave the keynote convention of the people studying that can't figure out how to cure the disease and wanted to know what happened to you. My friend, it wasn't Ricky Crystals, it wasn't healing power from the Eastern religion, it is the robust, powerful blood of Jesus that makes the sad happy, that gives life to the depressed. Can I tell you something? Everything the enemy has sent to your life to bring to you! Addiction! Whatever it is, right? What else do you join? If you receive one of the second one, we'll be able to get a lot of people. Let me tell you something. If you study praise, you can pray quietly, but it is scripturally impossible to praise quietly. Praise is full-bodied, robust, loud, expressive. It's how they knock characters' walls down, it's how they knock the cherry off of every prisoner. It's how they every prison. And his mercy endorsed forever. I popped in uh when I was getting changed today, and though my semi-exact clothes I wore yesterday. I I put on um on YouTube, I just want to listen to something about power over the devil. So I put power over the devil in, and two messages came up because of my algorithm. Mine from four years ago, when we were at 107 with 320 people, year one. And then one about a year and a half after that, we were at the soccer dome, thinking we took the world for Christ because we had 520. And then now we're in this rough place, and it's getting bigger, and then the place everything's gonna get painted and the roof cut off. And I'm having a happy time laughing in the face of the devil. Not only can you not shut us down, we will trample under you on you like your dust under our feet. Listen to me today. I'm not just telling you you have victory, I'm telling you you are walking into effortless victory because Christ is the one that brought the victory to you. Almost got raptured all by myself. I'm not joking. Man, I feel good. My grandfather that preached for 62 years used to say, I feel good all over more than anywhere else. Hallelujah. Start talking like that. Start talking about the strength of God. Every time you get tempted to ask for prayer for something, lift your hands and say, Thank you, Father. I got strength for my body. Your word says so. Thank you. I have strength for my mind. I don't battle depression, I cast out depression. In Jesus' name. Give the Lord a great hand clap one last time. Come on, let heaven go. You believe the word, let hell go. Come on, Texas, let it go with hell. The battle is over, the battle is not yours. Every head bowed, every eye closed. Keep playing exactly like you're playing. If you're here tonight or today and you've never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then all this was was a pep rally. And the devil that can't come in this sanctuary because the presence of God's too thick will just wait for you in your car or at your house. And the problems continue. The just shall live. If you're gonna translate it super accurately, the just shall live by his own faith. That's why I don't call you during the week or come over your house. You sow the word into people and they've got to take the word and run with it. So if you have never crossed the starting line, the starting line is turning your back on sin and making Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. Some of you, as I've been preaching on strength, the devil put you through a hellish year. Maybe not this year, maybe it was last year, maybe it was 11 years ago. You lost everything, you lost close to everyone, you lost your freedom and went to prison. And the devil used that attack to turn you away from God. But something has happened where God, by his grace, has brought you to church today to hear his word and make a decision, and that decision is devil, I choose life, I choose healing, I choose the blessing, and I choose it today. All the devil has to do is keep to keep you bound, is get you to put this off for another week. But today you're gonna make this the worst day the devil's ever had in your life, and you're gonna make Jesus so happy as he receives what he paid for with his blood 2,000 years ago. You, while you were yet in sin, God loved us and gave his son to die for you. He wants you, he wants a relationship with you. Have you ever received that? Do you need Jesus to heal you from the inside out? People going to therapy for trauma, and the therapy you've been in forever, you still have the trauma. Everyone's trying to solve the problems of man with outside things, but only the blood of Jesus and his life is a solution to the troubles. If you're here and you say, Jonathan, I've never done that, or I once did, and I fell away. If I was to meet God in 10 minutes, I'm not sure I could say I'm living a holy life. I allowed something to put distance between me and God. But I recognize that the reason I'm here today is God has orchestrated a series of events to get me to hear his word and respond to his invitation to get rid of sin instead of sin getting rid of me. If you've never done that, Texas, if you've never done that here in Pennsylvania, or you once didn't fell away and you say, Jonathan, when you pray, I want to be included in that prayer. I want Christ to come in and give me power where I was weak. He gives strength to the weak. And you need that strength today. If that's you, and you say, Jonathan, when you pray, I want to be included in that prayer. I want you to see your hand up high right now and wave it at me so I can see it. In Jesus' name, I see your hand. Who else? There's more, there's more. There was a ton in Toronto, too many for the altar. This is the last call of God before this world wraps up shop. Anyway, I see hands in the back. Who else? If the Lord's wrestling with your heart, don't wrestle, give in to it. It'll be the greatest decision you ever made. Very quickly, people are coming already. Very quickly, everyone that lifted a hand, come out of your seat and join me at the front. We're gonna pray. We're gonna pray. Keep coming, keep coming. This is your day. This is the day the Lord has made. He's gonna give you a reason.

SPEAKER_01 58:56

Victory is mine, keep coming, victory, keep coming, keep up victory, keep up.

SPEAKER_02 59:35

Let both hands to the Lord. Both hands lifted to the Lord. Give me a second on the drums. Every hand lifted, say this prayer nice and loud with me. Say it so the devil can hear you, so there's no confusion in hell that you and him are finished. Say this out loud, Heavenly Father. I've come forward today to give you my life. Forgive me of all my sins, wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart. You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and my Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved. I am forgiven. I am clean. In Jesus' name.
