Luke chapter 11. Luke 11, verse 14. Luke the 11th, chapter and the 14th verse. One day Jesus cast out a devil or a demon from a man who couldn't speak. Let me see King James up there. I'm reading it on Facebook, so then I'm going to reference another one. And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. I like that. Man couldn't speak. And it came to pass when the devil was gone out, the dumb man spoke. You'd be amazed what all you can do when the devil goes out. But some of them said he casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of devils. Or, no wonder he can cast out demons. He gets his power from Satan. So literally nothing's changed in 2,000 years. If you decide to do the Jesus type of ministry, then oh, that guy's of the devil. He's a false prophet. The only way to not get criticized in the ministry is don't pray for the sick, don't have any power, don't do anything. Just give a little speech and dismiss in prayer. Keep us safe as we go separate ways. But Jesus didn't have meetings like that. Jesus cast out devils, Jesus healed the sick, and Jesus said, the same work that you see me do, you shall do and greater. Then in Matthew 10, 1 and 2, the Bible says he called his disciples together and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all the sick. So not only do you have the ability to do those things, Jesus said, everywhere you go and preach this, heal their sick. Everybody say, Heal the sick. But religion doesn't like that. He gets his power from Satan, the prince of demons. Others trying to test Jesus demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. He knew their thoughts. So he said, now this is doctrine, red letter. Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. In other words, you say I'm casting out devils because I'm empowered by the devil. Well, that's not going to be a well-run kingdom if demons are casting out other demons. Any kingdom or house divided against itself cannot stand. How can the kingdom survive? And if I am empowered by Satan, what about your own exorcist or disciples? They cast out demons too. So they'll condemn you for what you said. But if I'm casting out devils by the power of God, it was a casting out devils by the power of God. If I'm casting out demons by the power of God, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you. Now listen to this, 21. For when a strong man is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe until someone stronger than him attacks him and overpowers him. That's what crusade evangelism is. That's what church pioneering is. You're coming in and in the strength of the spirit. See, pastors, when you go to start a church, other pastors in town, can I take you out for coffee? And then they're going to tell you all the reasons your church won't grow here. You know, it's a small town and people don't really come to church. There was a guy back in 1968 that had an affair, and so it's put a bad taste in the mouths of the people for the last 60 years. Even though all the people that saw it are dead, we're still using that as our excuse as to why nobody comes to church. But the Bible says if you come in the strength of the Holy Ghost, stronger than whatever principality is there, then he doesn't take you out. You take him out. Can you say amen? And I prophesy in the name of Jesus. Everywhere the devil has set up shop in your life and family, just like happened with Carly, the power of God's gonna drive that sucker out tonight in Jesus' name. If you believe it, can you say aloud amen? But it's not done. Even stronger, everybody say stronger. Overpowers him. You can overpower the devil, you can strip him of his weapons and carry off his goods. Go back to 21 on King James. I want to read it in the King James. When a strong man, now that's talking about people that are full of Christ. Well, Jesus was stronger than the devil, but we're just Christians. Where pertell does the Bible tell us Christ lives? We know he's seated at the right hand of the Father, but by mystery, he's also where? Christ liveth in you. So it's not a different Jesus. He doesn't have a twin brother that's like Jesus Gary, you know, is his middle name, and he's like weaker. The same, the same Christ of the Bible, everybody say, Christ lives in me. Everybody say, I live in him. So you become that strong man. When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace. Go back to 21. Think of that. Jesus has given you a picture of life and ministry. Whether you're in the ministry or not, life. Who was causing that girl to stay in that unclean relationship with that boyfriend? Why couldn't she get interesting how you don't even think about leaving for 11 years? You actually think about killing yourself before you think of leaving. And then the Holy Ghost comes on the scene and immediately you're done. See, people waste time in the ministry counseling people about their decisions. If you get full of the Holy Ghost, the Bible says, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons and daughters of God. Who told that girl to leave that guy? The Holy Ghost did. Who told my mother when my mother got saved by somebody passing her a track? And she went to the first church. She thought they were all the same. And she walked into a Latter-day Saints church, a Mormon church. She said, I sat down and I felt something on the inside tell me, not here, go. And she got up and left. And then went in the phone book. And because uh uh Assemblies of God is in the A's, she went to an Assemblies of God church, got baptized in the Holy Ghost, and went to ministry. We have tried to do church and Christianity without the Holy Ghost. And that's why there's so much failure. That's why at the average church you can say, how many of you need a breakthrough? Every hand goes up. How many of you are battling sin? Every hand goes up. Not only how uh how who's battling sin, the pastor will tell you, you know, I sin every day. Well, maybe you should put the mic down and go repent. Because you don't have to sin every day, you don't have to sin any day. The devil is not over your head, the devil's not eye to eye, the devil is under your feet, and Christ gave you the victory. You're receiving that victory tonight. You're gonna walk in what God said belongs to you, whether the devil likes it or not. Hallelujah. Man, I should have picked a different text because I don't think I'm gonna be able to get out of this one. Because that's a picture of what the devil's doing in people's families. He's keeping them and he's at peace. Some demons had a family locked down for five generations. Everybody drinks, everybody nobody goes to church. They don't have any strong opinions about anything except uh Huntington, uh uh what's what what's your uh Marshall football and WVU and that they don't like church. Wanna go to Applebee? Sure. Want to go to McDonald's? Sure. Want to go see a movie? Sure. Want to go to church? Devil flares up. As soon as you mention going in the opposite direction of that strong man, that strong man flares up. No, you don't go to church. That Bible's full of lies. And he's camped on that family for years. But the Bible says, when one's stronger than he, that's gonna be you coming out of this meeting tonight. Hallelujah! When a stronger than he shall come upon him and over take him. I like that. Beat the stew out of him. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusteth. He takes, he strips his weaponry, strips his armor, and then takes his stuff. Yeah. You get that. That's what souls are. When people come to the altar, then if you've watched me preach before, you've heard me sometimes when I get super excited when a big altar call. I go, how's that taste, devil? I not only took you out, I took all your people as an ambassador of heaven. That's what we're anointed to do. We are emissaries from heaven, and we're empowered to go find every place the devil thinks he owns. Knock his head, take his goods, take his people. That's what revival is. That's what's happening right now. Hallelujah. And I'm gonna show you uh ever say one stronger than he. What does one weaker than he look like? Go to Mark chapter 9. Mark chapter 9. Praise God. Feel great. Praise God. Mark 9, verse 14. When they returned to the other disciples coming off the mountain of transfiguration, they saw a large crowd surrounding them, and some teachers of religious law were arguing with them. When the crowd saw Jesus, can you get that lady, uh preacher from Check the News this morning, that taught on John 14, 6, she looks like a um a car salesman at a Subaru dealership. When the crowd saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe and they ran to greet him. What's all this arguing about? Jesus asked. Say this with me. If I refuse to get full of God's power, my Christianity will consist of nothing but arguing. That's right. You'll be on Facebook going back and forth with people, Instagram going back and forth, you know, I always have an opinion about every every but you do nothing. There's a guy criticizing me the other, you know, I wrote, that you're you preach an American gospel. I I said, uh, try that in Africa. I said, I've been to Africa twice this year, never saw you there. When was the last time you went? I preached this in Africa. I was in Nigeria in January on the fashion, preaching, preaching. Uh there were 60,000 pastors in that meeting from all over the world, 110 nations, I think. Pastors from Dubai and Oman and all over the world. This thing works everywhere. One thing I made up my mind is I'm not I'm not here to have arguments about ministry. I'm here to minister. I'm gonna do what Jesus did. Blow it up and let the Pharisees and Sadducees debate whether you're of God, whether you're of the devil, whether you're John the Baptist reincarnated, whether you're the real Elijah. You guys talk. I'm gonna win souls, I'm gonna preach the word, I'm gonna pray for the sick, I'm gonna cast out devils, and so shall you in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Yeah, because ministry is like baseball or like football. You got 22 guys on the field badly in need of arrest, and 50,000 in the stands, badly in need of exercise. Should have thrown it to the A receiver. Meanwhile, you can't even reach behind you to get your beer because your shoulder's frozen. Have trouble making it from the easy chair to the refrigerator. You're telling that guy should have hit a 40-yard uh uh route. You give me a thumbs up, I can't even remember what I asked for. Everybody say the Holy Ghost. Say, I'm not a critic. It's not convincing. Say, I'm not a critic. Yeah, you know what do you do if you see uh something you don't that that rubs you the wrong way about pastor? Go post it on Facebook or pray for him. Pray for God to help. When you get invested in prayer, you're not looking to uh criticize people, you're looking to help the church grow, not see if it grows or not. We're going to victory right now. Um he's a good guy, you know. Service can be a little long. Sorry to keep you from hardies. Yeah, just just nothing, not doing anything. Get involved in the thing. There is a joy, there is no joy in just attending church. There is a joy in serving in the house of the Lord, in doing the work of the Lord, in holding the arms up of your pastor and helping to build the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Everybody was arguing. What's all this arguing about? Jesus asked. One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal him. He's possessed by an evil spirit that won't let him talk. And whenever this spirit seizes him, it throws him violently to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. Let me see how it says that in the King James. And whereas wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him, and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth and pineth away. I don't know what that means. Something like something an old person would say. It's like prospector tuck. I'm out mining for gold, pining away. And I spake to thy disciples, and that they should cast them out, and they could not cast him out. Not they would not, they could not. That's where the arguing comes from. If you can't get people healed, you gotta, you know, you gotta argue why they can't do it, come up with a reason. How did Jesus settle it? Did Jesus have a cool new take on it? Oh, we never thought of that. No, he answered the problem by healing the boy. Can you say amen? Everybody say they could not do it. So just because you're a Christian, you have the capacity to be stronger than the enemy, but you have to access that strength. And the Bible tells you things you have to do. Fasting and prayer is a pathway to that strength. Jesus said, a servant is not greater than his master, and a student's not greater than the teacher. But the servant will do what the master does, the student will do what the teacher does, and then he will become like his master. So if Jesus, born in the flesh with no earthly father and no stain of sin, often withdrew to pray and often fasted, what knucklehead would attempt to do what Jesus did with an earthly father and sidestep fasting and prayer? And often, often he early withdrew to pray. He was always praying to the point that the disciples said, Hey, teach us to do what you're doing. We will we see what you're doing, but we can't do it. You have to take the steps the Bible says. Like pray always in the power of the Holy Spirit. You know, and it's like most preachers are on a mission to tell you how you don't have to do it. Now I know it says pray always. How many know you don't have to always pray? No, it says you should always pray. You should be praying all the time. Can you say amen? And that's what's happening in this revival. Not only are a lot of people coming back to Christ in America, but they're gonna get shaken by the fire of God. They're not gonna be a lethargic, do nothing, argumentative Christian. They're gonna carry God's power in Ripley, West Virginia. Can you say amen? Jesus said, so the guy said he has an evil spirit. Jesus said, now listen, I know it's the first century and you people are very superstitious. You'll find out as time goes on that he has a chemical imbalance and whatever. Now, I'm not saying everything's of the devil, but Jesus never dismissed demonic problems. He said, Now come on, let's take it easy. There are demon spirits. Satan was cast out of heaven, and a third of those angels went with him that are now demon spirits. And they're behind problems. It's amazing when you read uh uh the millennial reign of Christ in the book of Revelation that there won't be car accidents. The lion will lay down with the lamb. You'd be amazed how much the devil that man started speaking when the demon left him. When the devil's off the scene, the lion will lay down with the lamb. There won't be problems. What's at the back? Yeah, we need to solve racism. Best of luck. It's not racism, it's a demon of hatred. And it actually doesn't even have anything to do with race. Because there's genocidal wars where everybody's the same color. If the devil gets you out of people that are a different color than you to hate, then he'll start you having you hate people based on size of forehead, wide nose, narrow nose, Sunni Shia Muslims, they're all Arab. Northern Ireland, Ireland, they were all white. Rwanda, all black. It's a devil that wants to steal, kill, and destroy. But thank God Jesus came to destroy all the work of the devil. So the disciples didn't have it. And lots of people don't have it. But everybody say, not me. Everybody say, I'm getting it tonight. Yeah, you have to make a decision to come into the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Yeah. Or you'll you will be weaker than that strong man, even though you don't have to be. I was preaching in uh uh the Pendell, Assemblies of God, youth camp a long time ago. It's probably 34. And I had no business preaching at youth camp that week because I was getting ready to go to Camden, New Jersey to do a crusade, and I was on a 21-day fast. So they weren't like youth meetings, they were like just me exploding every night. Like I was in a different realm. We were spending the most money we ever spent. We're going to the city that has the highest murder rate in America, if you count cities of under 100,000 people, and I was tuning up for it. So it was a different youth camp. We had two girls get knocked over by the power of the spirit at the altar, and they came the next night and said, we cut ourselves on our hips with razors, and we felt whatever that pressure was that made us do that. See, I'm not saying we're not dismissing uh doctors and people that are trying to help people, but you can't deal with spiritual things with pharmaceuticals, and you can't smoke enough weed to get it to go away, and you can't drink enough to get it to go away. There is power in the blood of Jesus and the fire of the Holy Ghost to deal with the devil. Hallelujah! And so they came and testified the next night. We cut ourselves on our hips, we felt whatever that was that made us do that go away. It's a devil. And then we went to change for better. But say it keeps getting better. We both cut ourselves on our hips for a year and a half. Obviously, you'd have a ton of scars. And when I changed, I saw I had brand new skin. So I went to go, yeah, I went to go find my friend to tell her, and she was running to tell me. God not only delivered them, he took away all evidence that they were ever bound. That's gonna be your story tonight. Jesus is not only gonna deliver you, there won't be any evidence. Like the blind man in John 9. Is that him or somebody that looks like him? They're gonna wonder if it's really you because they've never seen you smile, but you're gonna be laughing all the time. Your depression is changing to joy. I said, Your depression is changing to joy, your weakness is changing to strength, not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of Almighty God. If you believe it, can you shout hallelujah? So, anyway, in that meeting, I preached and prayed for people and had I mean, I was doing a real fast. And so when I was done, I was done. So I went and sat down, and uh well, I was I was done. I did three hours, the air conditioning was broken, of course, because it's the assemblies of God, and everything's broken. The projector doesn't work, the microphone doesn't work, nothing works. We don't believe in prosperity. I know, I saw your sound system. So uh I sit down and this youth pastor comes over to me that's in his 30s. He goes, Excuse me, my youth leader's having a panic attack. Can you pray? And so this lady, she's probably in her mid-20s, she's having a full-out panic attack, shaking violently. And uh I said, Are you in the ministry? He said, Yes. I said, Why don't you pray? I just did three hours. Can't you take care of your own leader? So he did what those type of Christians do best, got offended, dropped his shoulders, put his hand on her back, don't pray for people from behind. Dead churches always pray for people from behind. Where do you see that in the Bible? One time I went to the altar to pray, and I felt a hand come on my shoulder and start rubbing my shoulder. And I thought, this better be my wife, or somebody's gonna be missing a hand. I turned around, it was a guy. I said, Can I help you? He said, I was praying for you. He said, No, you're rubbing my shoulder. Where is that in the Bible? And he he quickly went and found someone else. Yeah, I don't like dudes touching my shoulder. So everybody say, pray face up. Because it's just like a weak uh Evangelist Cody, come here. I'll give an example. Okay, turn and face the altar. He needs this this is just weak. This is like I'm I'm in this with you. But Jesus ministered, you know, to take spit from your mouth and put it on somebody else's mouth so they can talk. That's face up. Laying hands on him, prophesying to somebody. This is like none of us have authority. Somebody has to have authority to take authority over the problem and pray. Can you say amen? So, thanks. I think the people understood without that, but I just gotta get this off my chest. This is slowly turning to group therapy. Hello, my name's John. I've been irritated at several church services. So he goes over and pray, puts his hand on her shoulder, nothing, she's still shaking. And I hear him go, peace. We speak peace. And if you could see in the spirit, the demon's going, yeah, peace. Peace. Everybody say, cast out devils. You know, we got a dog just before COVID hit, 2019, maybe 2018. And my daughter got to pick the name, and she liked Winnie the Pooh, so his name's Christopher Robbins. Christopher Robbins Shuttlesworth, and he won't answer to Chris. He'll answer to Christopher. So I'm out in the yard at our old apartment complex calling, Christopher! Christopher! Christopher, you get in here! Neighbors are going, I think that pastor has a gay roommate or something. Christopher, I love you. How many own dogs here? How many know with those dogs? You can say, hey, need you to come in the house. They don't even look up, still sniffing the grass. I've never seen a species of being so particular about where they pee. I've pulled over on Interstate 79 before to pee. I didn't have to like feel the grass. I think how to pick, pick around, look over the whole yard. And you know, especially when it's winter. 11 degrees, 17 degrees. Hey, come on, let's pee. Come on, pee. Hey, come on, let's get it going. Pee. And then when you've had enough. Hey, let's go! You can literally scare the pee out of them. And they pee, and then they bolt right back in the house. Or they're out in the yard, you need them to come in. Hey, come on. Christopher. Christopher, come on. Come on, buddy. Still sniffing around. Then when you've had enough, said it about four times, and it's starting to irritate you. Christopher, in the house. And they know. And I'm telling you, that story Smith Wigglesworth told when he was getting ready to get on the bus in England. And uh uh that lady was going to get on the bus, and her little Yorkie followed her out. And she went, Now you can't come with me. You get back in the house, turn to get on the bus, it never moved. Went to get on with her. Now you can't come on with me. You have to get in the house, never moved. And then the bus driver said, Lady, we gotta go. And she went, Get! And the dog ran in the house. And Smith Williamsworth stood up on the bus and said, That's the way you gotta do the devil. There's a way he spoke. Jesus spoke in a loud voice and commanded it to come out. There is a voice of authority that the devil tries to strip from you, but it's coming back in your life, and it's coming back in the church of America where you know how to look the devil in the eye and say, Come out, you unclean spirit, and it obeys your command. Somebody shout power over the devil. So I went over, and if the kid was already mad at me, he got madder. He has his hand on his shoulder. I knocked his hand off. You know, it's a guy, it's a man. Three stooges did it all the time. One time they taught my daughter at Christian school that violence doesn't solve problems. I said, that's true generally, but watch this, and I had her watch a couple episodes of the Three Stooges. I said, sometimes it solves problems. So I knocked his hand off. You know why I knocked his hand off? Because he was gonna get hurt. If that demon manifested, he's weak. He needed to clear out. And I grabbed her by both sides of the face and I said, You foul spirit of fear. Let me see 1 Timothy 1, 5 through 7. 2 Timothy 1, 5 through 7. You can do King James. When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois and thy mother Eunice. Say this I can pass down good things to my children. When I was talking about generational curse, what about generational blessing? I mean, no, when we're around and we go to the hair salon or the barber shop and different places we are, we pick up, we pick up demonic things without even knowing it. I don't pick up demons, I cast them out. Say with me, I don't pick up devils, I cast out devils. And then you don't have to be, you know, just generational curses. No, those died when I gave my life to Jesus. And now I'm passing down good things. The faith, Timothy, you're my son in the faith, and that faith you have, I saw it first in your grandmother Lois, and then your mother Eunice. And am persuaded that it's in thee also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up, see, there say this with me. There's things for me to do. Yeah, stir up the gift. How do you do it? No, pray in the Holy Ghost. Jude verse 20, pray always in the Holy Ghost, building up your most holy faith. I'll tell you another way. You stir up. Say this with me. God's power travels on faith-filled words. So one way you don't stir yourself up is I don't know how I'm gonna make it. I really need prayer. Is Pastor, that's not gonna stir anything up. You stir it up, don't I won't have you say stuff online, but I won't have you say this. Say, don't say how you feel. Say what you believe. Yeah, you're never wrong when you quote God. Anybody when they're feeling great, can say, praise the Lord, I have the victory. But when the devil's barking up a storm, telling you you're not gonna make it, there's not enough money, what did you get yourself into? That's the time to lift up holy hands unto God and say, Thank you, Jesus. I have the victory. I'm not trying to get the victory. Greater is he that lives in me than all those that are in the world. Go ahead, take 15 seconds and clap your hands. This is a great meeting here in Ripley. These are great people here in Ripley. Somebody shout hallelujah! Say it out loud. The Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. Praise God. Say that other scripture with me. Say, greater is he who lives in me. Where does he live? So why are you always talking like he's out there? Oh, Jesus, come into here. He's like, Hey, I'm with you. I came in when you came in. Can you say amen? One time in the assemblies of God, they were in the habit of doing that. You'd be like, you know, church was at seven, pastor would ask you to go meet him at 6:40 for God knows what reason. And uh, you go talk in the office, and then when it's time for you, you go, well, about time to go into service, let's pray. Let's gather around and lay your hands on Brother Jonathan. I w it's amazing I even have a ministry. I was like 25. And I went, you can pray for me, but don't lay hands on me. I said, I'm very particular about who lays hands on me. I don't know who your deacons are or anything. I have people lay hands on me on purpose that I want something that's in their spirit that they have, or to be healed, or to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. I've already had those things. So you don't just go laying hands on everybody. Then I said, they said, I said, and what are you gonna pray for? They said, we're gonna pray that God anoints you. I said, if you book somebody to preach at your church for 7 o'clock and they're not anointed by 6.58, it's a little late now, isn't it? They all left. And the pastor was older than me, but he came up to me and I said, You know, you got me thinking about that. Because you're gonna have two kinds of Christianity. One kind has a lot of defeat and bumpy roads. That's God outside conscious Christianity. Jesus is chasing, how many know he'll never stop chasing us down? Why don't you just quit running? Why are you running from him? How many know there's no wall, he won't tear down. So now you're building walls and running? What is this, fortnight? You'll never get me, Jesus. Anybody say, be born again. Say, let Christ abide in your heart. Say, be filled with the Holy Ghost. You're gonna do a lot better in life instead of saying, I don't know what I'm gonna do, Lord. Please be with me today. I'm gonna give you practice. Take your right hand and put it on your belly where your spirit is. Out of your belly will flow rivers of living water from within. This speak ye of the Spirit. John 7, 37, 38. Say this. Thank you, Jesus, that you live in me. Your power is in me. I have received an anointing from the Holy One that dwells with me always. Now say this so the devil can hear you. I'm anointed when I feel it, I'm anointed when I don't feel it. I am anointed with fresh oil. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. If you receive it, give the Lord a hand clap and shout one more time on this awesome Tuesday night. Hallelujah! Stronger, too strong for the devil. There's a way to function in Christianity where the devil doesn't know what to do. Can you say amen? You don't get slapped around by the way, how come after Jesus and I'm gonna finish the passage? But when Jesus finishes with them, um, he doesn't say, What were you guys doing trying to heal that kid? I didn't get I didn't tell you to do that. I'm Jesus, you're just disciples. Don't do that anymore. No, he had already given them authority over how much of the power of the devil. All of it. But so then why were they struggling? That's what they wanted to know. Hey, we've never had this happen before. We literally could not cast that demon out. Jesus said, Yeah, because there's some demons you just can't cast out. No, watch what happened. So they brought the boy. Now watch this. The evil spirit wanted budge with the disciples saying, Come out of it. But when they brought him to Jesus, you know, sometimes demons say weird stuff. Like one said in one of my meetings, um, you can't cast me out. I'm too strong. I said, then why are you manifesting, you big dummy? Because when they start talking, it's because the Bible says in Acts 28, Paul gathered an arm full of sticks to build a fire, and the heat from the fire drove out what? A viper. And it bit him on the hand, and he shook the snake back into the fire and was unharmed. Fire drives out snakes. So demons can remain. That's why there's so many churches that have trouble with people getting molested and affairs. If you have some docile, 80-minute, sterile, weak, pathetic service with no Holy Ghost and no power, those spirits can stay there. Perverts can wander around by the children's ministry. But when you let the fire loose, people get up and leave because one thing's gonna happen. They're either gonna get saved or they're gonna leave. But you can't stay because the fire's too great. You're going home. I'm gonna tell you something. No matter how dark things are in your family or your house, you're going home with a fire tonight that is too much, too strong for the devil. Somebody shout fire! When the spirit said Jesus, it threw the child to, oh, this is not good. You know, he's I'm not coming out, I'm not coming out. Then Jesus comes in, even said anything. He reminds me of, I'll tell you, if you want to know about how to cast devils out, you should watch the movie Tombstone, particularly the scene where Wyatt Earp goes into that, uh, whatever that place was called, and throws Billy Joe Thornton out and takes his seat. It's getting quiet, but I stand by what I said. You're sitting in my chair. Billy Bob Billy Bob Thornton starts mouthing off to Wyatt Earp. Wyatt Earp never moves. I'm getting real sick of your lip, mister. Puts his hand on goes, go ahead and skin it. Take that gun out and watch what happens. And then I like too that Billy actually, did I show it in Bible college this year? I can't remember if I did or not. I think I used it to teach about authority over the devil. Because Billy Bob Thornton's running his mouth, and White Earp just stands there and they say, You bet you better take that pistol out. He said, I don't need to take my pistol out to throw you out here. Then he slaps him in the face, grabs him by the ear, and throws him out on the street and sits down in his seat. And that's what you do when you're full of the Holy Ghost. Not to people. I don't want to read headlines tomorrow. Revival goers assault city members in Ripley. Story at 11. This is Edith from the local Victory Church. She slapped the fire out of a local man because he was sitting in her chair. I don't mean that. But I mean, say this with me. This is not a negotiation. This is not a contest. Say this. I've been given authority over all the power of the devil. Yeah, that's a lot of power. That's a lot of authority over a lot of power. So you don't have to put up with anything you don't want to put up with. Whatever you bind on earth, I'll back you from heaven. Whatever you loose on earth, I'll back it from heaven. But in both of those things that Jesus said, who's the initiator? God or you? You. There has to come deliverance, freedom, victory, healing, all of the good things from God. They begin with you saying, enough is enough. And that's why, in my opinion, and I don't believe I'm wrong, that's why almost every commercial is trying to get you to be docile and think it's normal to be sick. Cancer strikes one in three women. Cancer, if you're a black man over the age of 50, you have a one in six chance of getting prostate cancer. Always trying to get you thinking sickness, death. 50% of marriages fail. Marriages fail as much in the church as out of the church. Always getting you to think about defeat so that when the enemy attacks, you go, Well, this is normal. I'm having pain, but I am 55. And they told me that's part of getting old. That's not a Bible verse. The Bible says, as your days are, so shall your strength be. They told me I have a 50% chance that I might not make it. How old are you? I'm 58. Well, the Bible says 70 years or 80 years minimum by reason of strength. I'm not gonna die. I'm gonna see, that's what that grandmother heard me preach. They said it in the testimony, Psalm 118, 17. I will live and not die that I may declare the goodness of the Lord while I'm yet in the land of the living. That word hit her spirit. She said, wait a minute, I don't have to bury my granddaughter. I can stand in the power of God, I can stand in the place of faith and tell the devil, enough is enough. You're not having my granddaughter, you're not having my family. I stand to take my last name back. Shout it out, enough is enough. Praise God. See, and you remember that thing I read that Jesus said in Luke 11? You take the strong man out and then take all his goods. You know when that girl Carly got healed and came to church when she got out of the hospital? You think she was sitting by herself? You think she was sitting just her and her grandma? A row full of family that had never been to church. I think her father was a state trooper that wanted nothing to do with God. But when he saw God raise his daughter up off her deathbed, he was there and gave his life to Christ. Because when you punch the devil in the face, you don't just take him out, you take everything that he's been sitting on. That's what's happening tonight. The devil is gonna have to cover everything. Shout hallelujah! How long has this been happening? Since he was a little boy. Have mercy on us and help us if you can. What do you mean if I can? Jesus asked. You might not like Jesus as much as you think you would. Help us if you can. What do you mean if I can? You know who you're talking to? I'm Jesus, J-E-S-U-S. There's no if. Can you say amen? What do you mean if I can? All things are possible. I mean, all things are possible with God. This takes it a step further. All things are possible to who? Him that believes. Everybody say, I believe. Say so all things are possible. Now lift both hands and begin to thank God that impossibility and lack and hindrance is giving way tonight to the endless supernatural possibility that God has for your life. I don't hear anybody. Open up your mouth and begin to thank him. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for healing. Thank you for power. God's such a people right now. There's whole families that are gonna know that verse is a reality after tonight. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I prophesy in the name of Jesus. Not only are you going to heaven, every member of your family is gonna be standing right there with you when you go to meet the Lord. The plan of the devil is declared failed tonight. Can you say amen? All things are possible to him who believes. Everybody say, I believe. The father instantly cried out, I do believe, but help me to overcome my unbelief. When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil spirit. Listen, you spirit. So who's he talking to here? Yeah, you don't talk to God about the devil. Heavenly Father, we just take authority over this. What are you talking to me for? It'd be like going to the mayor and going, Mayor, we just take authority over this guy that's trying to rob the gas station in Ripley. I gave you a badge and a gun for you to go and enforce the laws and dictates of this place. Can you say amen? What are you talking to God about somebody's cancer for? Father, we just take Sister Beverly before you. Sister Beverly was already taken before him 2,000 years ago when Jesus took, not will take, took how many of her sicknesses and diseases? So don't talk to Jesus. Don't talk to God. I'm talking this kind of prayer. The Bible does not say talk to, I mean, no, stop talking to God about your mountain and start talking to your mountain about God. No, that'll get you in the psychiatric unit. Don't talk to mountains about your God. Jesus said, speak to the mountain. They would say, speak to the mountain. Can you find test of that lady from New Mexico that had the kid with the tumors in his arm? Because she brought him for prayer at the end of the service. I'd never heard of this. They'd cut the tumor out of his bone and then it would grow right back, and they said it was gonna do that his whole life, and it would probably end up cancerous. And she came, Roman Catholic, at the end. She said, Can you pray for my son's arm? That God takes the tumor out. I thought I've never really prayed for that before. And I thought the Lord speak to me. What's a tumor except a little mountain? So I told you you can send it a big mountain move, tell that little mountain in that kid's arm to get out, and it'll obey your command. Roll it.

SPEAKER_09 43:12

Back in 2017, we had found out he had a tumor in his arm that was. Guess you could say it was just growing.

SPEAKER_06 43:20

Everyone say I believe. See, somebody has to believe to change the story. That lady could have heard about that in New Mexico, like, I don't believe that. You were Catholic. Who cares if what you are? You're Catholic? Call me Father John. Great to have you here. You can kneel a couple extra times. Make yourself right at home. I don't care if you're Catholic. I don't care if you're a biker chick with a paw print tattoo on your upper booby. I care that you believe. I care that you believe God. God doesn't. It's funny how that lady believed God to heal her. God doesn't say, Well, you get that tattoo off first. Clean your No, God, the second you turn your heart to Him and say, Lord, I believe. Belief God will move heaven and earth to get your miracle to you. Continue.

SPEAKER_09 44:06

In 2019, he ended up having surgery to get it removed. Six months later, we go back to the doctor and it's back. This tumor right here is tumor number two. Um, in November of 2020, we went in and we got surgery to get it removed. May of 2021, we went back and his tumor was back, which is this one, tumor number three right here. In August, when Jonathan came for the summer revival, he was he prayed over my son for healing. And we go back to we went back to the doctor in September of 2021. And the doctor told us himself that he was expecting to come in and tell us that he was gonna need surgery number three for tumor number three that had came back, and was actually very, very surprised whenever he went in and he saw that the tumor was gone. Completely gone. There's nothing there. The tumor looks like it's killed. The bone looks completely killed, like nothing was even there. There was no surgery that ever happened or anything on that bone. And we just wanted to say thank you because through him, God did his miracle on my son. That we literally thought that we were gonna have to be going through for the rest of his life, tumor after tumor, and we were just so thankful that it never became cancerous.

SPEAKER_06 45:25

Hey, can you grab the lady who her daughter wants to walk from New Mexico? How many people does God want saved? How come they're not all saved? Because they have to, they have to believe and confess. So it's the same with everything else. It's God's a healer. Why isn't everyone healed? Why don't you go take a nap and wake up smarter? I had a guy write that to me on X. He's from a different sect of Christianity. He wrote, Why doesn't everyone get healed? I wrote back, I can't imagine being a 52-year-old minister and not having settled that question yet. Why don't you read? Why don't you read TL Osborne's book, Healing the Sick, and settle it? Why don't you read what F.F. Bosworth discovered and these great men of God that opened the eyes of the blind because they had the same question to you? Why choose to remain ignorant? I just have a question because Anne Edna had a corn on her foot and we prayed and it never went away. Okay, so you're gonna take that to the grave with you, Ann Edna's corn? Everybody looking for one reason to have a cop out rather than rise up stronger and bust the devil in the mouth. I've had people come to me, you prayed for me um three nights ago, and it's a little better, but it's not all the way better. Is that because of my faith? I said, Who cares? Let's just pray again. Everybody say, throw another punch. You know, if you got in a fight, these are terrible church analogies, but I'm gonna go with it. If you got in a fight and hit a guy in the face, you're gonna go by and he fall down. Hit him again, hit him a third time. Keep swinging till well, these are again, these are not good things to have because they could clip it and use against me in court if I'm ever brought up on assault charges. You know, my how many of you ever seen my dad preach? You know he's like much calmer than me now, and he's almost 70, and he's your trusted voice in Bible prophecy. Let me tell you what he told me when I was in second grade. There was a kid picking on me. I thought he was gonna pray with me. He said, Jonathan, I'm gonna tell you something. When he goes to shove you, he said, bullies always shove. Wait till his hands are extended, then showed me how to make a fist. These are his exact words. Then hit him in the nose like you're trying to drive his nose through the back of his head. I remember as a kid being like, okay, listen, this is a little much. It's just a bully. I'm not looking to beat a man to death in second grade on top of him with my Oshkash Pagash. But you know what? That's good advice. If he goes to shove you, try to drive his nose to the back of his head. I'm gonna tell you something. I've never done that to a human being. But if you want to have a mission statement for a ministry, we're trying to find wherever the devil set up shop and drive his nose through the back of his head. This is not a negotiation, this is an enforcement that 2,000 years ago Jesus rose from the dead, he took the keys of death out of the grave and be gave that victory. Jesus Christ is Lord. Here's another one. So they were passing out tracks or in invites to this revival in New Mexico at the grocery store, and this lady said, My daughter went there last year and showed her the showed him the video. You're gonna see her shirt. It says Cush, just smoke it. She's not even serving the Lord. Her daughter came with deformed legs. Watch this.

SPEAKER_07 49:02

Hi, my name is Vanessa Gonville. Um, Jonathan Shuttleswork had prayed for my daughter. She was about one and a half at the time. Um she couldn't walk. She crawled on her knees. I took her to many specialists. I mean, you name it. I took her to Jonathan and he prayed for her and he told me she's gonna receive.

SPEAKER_06 49:23

I took her to many specialists. Now she didn't go to church. She knows she got saved the the next year. So I'm not saying this about her. Why don't people go everywhere else? You should learn to press in to faith just out of a hatred for waiting rooms. I've not spent any time of my life in a waiting room, and I never will. I go to God. Everything you're trying to get out there, you can get in church. Thanks for about 38% agreement. Jesus is all sufficient. His blood is all sufficient. Do you know when God told Abraham, Behold, I'm El Shaddai? Do you know what it means? The all-sufficient one. Everything those Philistines and Canaanites are trying to get out there, you can find it in me. And I want to testify at 45 and a half years old. Everything man needs, including this man, is found in the anointing of the Holy Ghost. And that presence is here to touch you and fill you tonight. Continue.

SPEAKER_07 50:28

By playing her yellow, she's gonna receive it. And she did on her second birthday. Instead of when I took her out of her cave and instead of going on her knees, crawling on her knees, she stood on her feet and she started walking. Praise God. And she's been walking testimony. Praise God.

SPEAKER_06 50:49

Bent up deformed legs. One prayer. Power. When I'm talking about power over the devil, I'm not talking about trying to get some devil to talk to you. Like these idiots on Instagram. What's your name? What are you gonna ask a liar what its name is? Jesus did, yeah, once, and he knew them all. They used to hang out in heaven. Which one are you that got thrown out? Oh, yeah, I remember you. Beat it. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. It's not a negotiation. Drive the devil out. Cancer is of the devil. Leukemia is of the devil. Depression's of the devil. All these things they're trying to get this generation to think are normal, they come from sin and Satan. And Jesus did not just save you so one day you can go to heaven after a long battle with depression or sickness. He saved you and delivered you from all oppression of the devil. And I came to tell you in Ripley, no matter who you are, no matter how bad you are, you're only one prayer away from the power of God, picking you up and setting you free. Go ahead and clap in the shout a little bit. Feels good in here. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Hallelujah. I asked you to be seated. I asked your disciples to cast out the evil spirit, but they couldn't do it. I do believe it helped me to overcome my unbelief. When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil spirit. Listen, you spirit, that makes this boy unable to hear and speak. There has to be a level of vitriol you have against satanic things. Hate. You know, that's a scripture. Can you help me out, Tessa? Um, love what is good, hate what is evil. Say this out loud. There's things to love, and there's things to hate. My mom texted me the other day, she said, I really enjoyed hearing you teach today. You can tell you love God. I said, I'll tell you what else you can tell. I hate his enemies. Not people. I hate the devil, I hate cancer, I hate deafness, I hate diseases and babies that are pre premature. I hate mothers and fathers crying and nickus. I hate it. I don't care. It's the part, you know. We don't never understand certain things. No. Let me pray. Let's smack the devil around a little bit. There's a way to pray that's like a knuckled backhand to the devil. And there's another way to pray that's a pat on the back. Peace.

SPEAKER_05 53:24

We speak peace. We speak peace. Peace. We speak peace. Before we go our separate ways, Lord, just help us today. Many of our children aren't serving the Lord, but Lord, we just ask you to be with them.

SPEAKER_06 53:37

The way you pray makes me feel like joining a different religion. There's no test. There's some guys the way they pray. I feel like getting testosterone replacement therapy and just jamming it in their gut and pushing the syringe. I go, try this. Too much estrogen, need more testosterone. Stop eating crickets and eat beef. Pray like a man. If you're a woman, pray like a woman of God. Pray like Deborah. Pray like somebody that knows that the devil's evil and God's giving you power to destroy his evil work. Hey, I see something rising in Ripley. The devil's in trouble. Let love be without dissimulation. I don't know what that is. Abhor that which is evil and cleave to that which is good. There has to be a hate when you pray, you gotta hate cancer. You gotta love God and love his power and love that person and hate that tumor. And pray as an expression of your hatred to it. You foul tumor. Listen to A. Allen cast devils out on YouTube. Go watch it. Type in YouTube, A.A. Allen cast out devils. And you'll hear somebody that hates the devil. Listen to Oral Roberts, pray for the sick. He hated that sickness that was on those kids. Break down crying mid-prayer. Hate it. My dad used to say to pastors, until you've cried tears at your own altar for your city, you'll never do much for the Lord. You have to hate it. Well, you know, there's a lot of problems here. This is how it is in West Virginia. That's how it is in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's got a big drug. Let me tell you something. Do you have me cursing fentanyl? You know, this will get you to hear what hate sounds like in the spirit. I just got tired of hearing our church people talk about their cousin, their son, their stepbrother, whatever, that's addicted and almost died or did die. And I month three of the church, enough. I'm gonna deal with this in prayer now. Roll it. I curse heroin addiction. I curse the supply line of fentanyl into this city. In Jesus' name. I curse. I curse the supply line of heroin and fentanyl into this city. There will be arrests in the next seven days. The police will think they caught a lucky break, but it's not luck. In Jesus' name. Let a curse come upon everybody that has a hand in the supply of drugs to this city. FBI, CIA, corrupt DEA, regular gang members, anybody that has their hand in the supply of drugs to this city, I curse that. In Jesus' name. Enough deaths, enough parents having to bury their children. In Jesus' name. That's March 16th, right? So you heard me say in the next seven days. I used to think God needed like a week. And basically, after stuff like this is when I started saying, right now. Right now. Now faith is. God created the whole world in six days. He does not need a week to do anything to anybody. From today, you will see speedy answers to your prayers. The devil takes his hand off your stuff. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 57:05

This is the man's agents arrested in one of the largest fentanyl busts in recent memory.

SPEAKER_00 57:18

Channel 11's Gabriella De Luca is live now with how local and state law enforcement piece this all together. Gabby?

SPEAKER_06 57:23

Thanks. You can bring it back to me. Pieced it together. Somebody forgot to pay the DEA off. That's how they pieced it together. I'm not gonna use that one. I'm gonna use Chat GPT. Hey, I heard that fentanyl overdoses are way down in twenty twenty-five. How far did they drop off of the list last year?

SPEAKER_02 58:01

Hello. I think you might have been waiting for me to reply earlier. I mean if you want to know exactly how much I can check for you.

SPEAKER_06 58:12

Yes, I'd like to know.

SPEAKER_01 58:18

In twenty twenty-four, U.S. drug overdose deaths dropped about twenty-seven percent compared to twenty twenty-three. Specifically, deaths involving fentanyl dropped nearly thirty-seven percent in twenty twenty-four.

SPEAKER_06 58:29

Fentanyl's down thirty-seven percent year over year. That's the largest drop. I'm gonna say, are you taking credit for it? I'm not taking credit for anything. All I want to do is preach and play video games. I'm not trying to make myself out to be Jesus' little brother, even though I am, if you study scripture. All the men say so am I. Firstborn of many brother. What I am telling you is somebody has to quit accepting things as normal and take authority. Whatever you bind on earth, I'll bind in heaven. That's what came to me in my spirit that day praying. Why pray for one person at a time when you can shut the whole tap off in the spirit? Lord, I curse the supply line of these drugs in the city. And that day they find that shipment and it went down from there. And the election swung the other way. Where the Department of Justice that was turning a blind eye, you know, they want you. They want our young people on fentanyl and heroin, so they can't rise up and do anything and they can't overthrow tyranny. But now you've got the problem for the devil. You've got Holy Ghost-filled men, Holy Ghost-filled women that are strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Things are turning around for your good tonight. Let me pray for this lady in the green. Come right out. In Jesus' name. Lift both hands right there. It's good. Tonight, the devil takes his hand off of all that pertains to you and has to pay you back sevenfold. Tonight, not seven days, now. In Jesus' name. May I pray for you, sir? I'll meet you over there. Thank you, Jesus. Lift both hands. I assume you're together. Father, I thank you that tonight the enemy by force. Somebody say by force. That faith takes by force. Hey, um, you can't get in there. Jesus is there, and there's already the whole house is full. And they climbed up on the roof and tore the roof off and lowered their friend up. Faith doesn't take no for an answer, and faith takes it by force. I'm not backing up. Somebody taught you it's a Christian virtue to be some castrated. Accept whatever. Sometimes things are count, sometimes they don't. We don't understand. I understand. When they're not working out, tell it to work out. What did Jesus do? Was Jesus a comfort in the storm, or did Jesus tell the storm to shut up? So where are you getting all these sermons from about Jesus being peace in the storm? And we don't understand. Sometimes God, how many know sometimes we want God to take us out of the storm, but God uses those. Where are you? What are you smoking? Jesus was in one storm. He didn't morph into an anchor. He didn't put his arm around them. He told the storm to shut up, and instantly it shut up, and they went over to the other side. And I tell you, whatever represents a storm in your life, God's gonna shut its mouth tonight, and you're going over to the other side. In the name of Jesus. And then, same as I told the lady with you, that right now, the devil has to cough up everything he took. Everything. People, money, everything. In Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus. You'd be amazed what happens when you kick the devil out. All we did, all Abraham did was pray for that lady's uh granddaughter, Carly. But the whole family came because once you kick the strong man out, you loot his goods. We're gonna do some looting tonight. Like me and my friends used to call it on Call of Duty, loot and scoot. We're gonna grab all his stuff and keep on keep moving. Can you say amen? Oh, I'm sorry, you're still talking? Good Lord. Can you say amen? Somebody say loot and scoot. That's what we're doing. We're gonna kick his head, take his stuff, move on to the next town. That's the life and ministry of Jesus. Give the devil a beating, take everything he had for a long time, then go do it again in the next city. Hallelujah. Looting and scooting. That's evangelism. Can you say amen? Loot it and then get on to the next place and do it all again. Listen, you devil that makes this boy unable to hear and speak. I command you to come out of this child and never enter him again. Then the spirit screamed. That's why you should have no fear over demon spirits. They all scream like five-year-old girls. Nothing strong makes that sound. The spirit screamed and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him. The boy appeared to be dead. A murmur ran through the crowd as people said he's dead. See, people just react He's dead now. Nobody does anything. So everybody just filming assaults himself. Jesus said, Oh, I think he's dead now. Then Jesus took him by the hand. Where's the scripture? Then Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28. And when he was coming to the house, his disciples asked him privately, because they were embarrassed. When they were in the meeting, amen. Praise the Lord. Wow. Then they got by themselves in the green room. Hey, why couldn't we cast out the evil spirit? Jesus said, because God's sovereign and there's some things we don't understand. He said, this kind can come forth by nothing, but why are you reading it like we're in a funeral? This kind come forth by nothing, but by choose the fast that's right for you. Maybe you can't fast. You can maybe like just not watch channel six. Those aren't fast. So you have to you either do what Jesus said or you don't get what Jesus got. And I'm telling you, when you enter into fasting and prayer, and say this say, I'm getting stronger every day. I prayed for you, but I really haven't seen that many miracles. Keep praying. Just like when you start a golf and you didn't see too many shots hit the fairway. You get better the more you do something. You learn things the more you do it. Hallelujah. Then as you do it, you start, it's like in the spirit, you start getting drawn to other people that do it, and they'll teach you things. Lester Summerall said he went to England to preach at Smith Wigglesworth's conference. And he said, When I finished preaching, I turned around to go back to my seat, and Will Wigglesworth bellowed out, son, you need to come see me. He said I felt like I was getting called to the principal's office. And he went to his house. Wigglesworth prayed with him, read the Bible to him, and they did that every uh several times a week for about a year and a half till they kicked all the Americans out of England for World War II. And he said, I got something going to that house. He talked to me about praying for the sick. Smith Wigglesworth said, When you pray for cancer, don't pray for the cancer. Bind the spirit of infirmity that gives life to the cancer, and the kid the body will take care of the cancer itself. And he said, When I started praying, like he told me, I sort of left better results. I sort of had better results. Do you have the uh uh uh me praying for that factory worker in Milwaukee? This guy was watching me on YouTube, like at a meeting like this. He had never been to church, was watching, and then he thought, I'm gonna come there. Came and got saved, and I was on a fast that day, and when I walked by him, I just knew he was deaf. Turned out he was a factory worker that had lost his hearing being around heavy machinery. Well, I was I never saw anybody pray for the deaf growing up in the assemblies of God, and those say, Lord, be with them, help them, kind of thing. But Jesus, what did Jesus do to pray for the deaf? Put his finger in there, told the deafness to come out, and it did. So then, as I got around those type of people, we had a preacher come to my Bible college. I'd never seen he he he was a healing guy, and um, we had a guy that worked there at the Bible college that I was friends with. His name was Josh, he's from Canada, and he was a weightlifter and his kidneys were failing. He's probably on steroids and stuff, and it his kidneys were going down. So they said, Um, they said, uh, brother so-and-so, would you mind praying for Josh? This is at the chapel, like 600 people. And so I bowed my head and got ready for the standard, Lord, be with Josh, guide the surgeon's hand. And this guy, when they asked him to pray, came up. He said, Put your hands on your kidneys. And the guy put his hands on his back. He said, I'm not gonna ask God to heal your kidneys, I'm gonna ask him to give you two new ones. I was thinking, I'd never heard this before. I'm gonna ask him to give you two new kidneys underneath your hands. He said, In the name of Jesus, underneath your hands flows the miracle-working power of God to recreate your kidneys. Well, that's a different way of praying. So you start realizing people that don't have success in spiritual things don't know what they're doing because they're ignorant either because they haven't been around the right people. It's like my daughter at Christian school, her Bible teacher said, people that teach that Jesus heals, that's not true. He heals in heaven, but he doesn't heal here. I said to Camila when I picked her up, I said, uh, what did you say? She said, I just laughed. I don't think she hangs around the right people. Hallelujah. She's right. So people aren't doing it to be malicious. They've just been in nothing but dead religion. They give some pat. I I I was working in a church years ago. They gave the same altar call every Sunday. If you need prayer, come forward. They'd play the saddest song you could think of on the organ. Same 19 people. One lady, her husband died. She's been wearing black with black eyeliner for 19 years. She's not looking for that's just that's just to get it out of the way. There's a difference between that and coming to the pulpit knowing what God wants to do in that service and carrying the power to get it done. I'm gonna tell you something. Your pastor has that, your pastor's wife has that, it's coming into you tonight. That's why if I was the devil, I'd be nervous. Because tonight we're gonna turn out into this town 200 men and women that know God, that carry his power, and are telling the devil, I'm not putting up with your mess. I can't even remember what I called for, so just play it. Oh yeah. This and hardness of hearing, in Christ's name, come out, open for the glory of God. Hear. Pause it. Everybody say, I have I have been given. Say this, not I will be given, I have been given. Does a state trooper radio back to the captain to make sure he has authority every time he's doing his job? No, he hasn't. So stop saying, Oh God, just be with He's with you. Settle, say this in Him I live. In Him I move. In Him, I have my being. Say, He abides in me. You know what abide means? Like when you go home, if there's some dude there and he goes, What are you doing here? You say, I abide here. This is my house. Can you say amen? Yeah. I abide in God. He abides in us. He is the head, we are the body. Hallelujah. Sometimes I just don't feel it. Who cares what you feel like? When my alarm went off at 5 o'clock p.m., I didn't feel anointed. I didn't even feel saved. I just felt sleepy. I didn't even know what time it was. I got up to think Camila to school. It was five in the afternoon. I thought, okay, let's shake ourselves and try this again. That's why the Bible says we walk by faith and not by yeah, the thing you battle most is not the devil, it's your physical body that's, you know, I don't know. I just don't feel like I can do it. Who cares what you feel like? Stop going by how you feel and go by what the Bible says. And the Bible says, I can, not I hope I can, I can do how many things? According to his power that works within us through Christ who strengthens me. So Christ isn't just abiding in you to be there like a little necklace on the inside of you. He, according to Philippians 4.13, he's in there strengthening you. That where I am weak, now I am strong. That his strength is perfected through my weakness. My friend, you're listening to a preacher that was in speech therapy from kindergarten through fifth grade, and they never fixed a sound. But where I was weak, now I am strong. Because with Christ, his strength is perfected in your weakness. Everywhere you came in in your weak, receive the strength of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Play from the beginning. Deafness and hardness of hearing, in Christ's name, come out open for the glory of God. Hear. In Jesus' name, both here. Pause it again. Let me tell you some things while I'm just flowing. So whatever you're getting worked up in your spirit to take authority over. What happened when Jesus exercised authority over that spirit? Did he just immediately start hearing and smiling and hug Jesus? No. He had the harshest convulsion that he had ever had to the point that they thought he died. And that happens all the time. Jonathan, you remember my husband Hank, that I had you pray with me for? Because he won't come to church and he's an alcoholic? When I got home, he had the biggest tirade I've ever seen him have. He broke things. My son, you know that I had you pray for, that's on drugs, he had the worst fit. He broke our windows and he took our car. And so can you pray again? You don't understand. That's the last flare-up. It's like the devil making a big noise as he leaves town. He knows he has it's like evicting somebody from an apartment. They're kicking stuff around, but they still have to pack their suitcase and get their B-U-T-T out of there. And that's what's happening tonight. The devil can shout, the devil can scream, the devil can throw a fit, but he's getting his rear end kicked out of your life, and his works are getting bulldozed, and you are gonna take his stuff. Deafness and hardness of hearing in Christ's name come out open for the glory of God. Plus here. It's great, it's great praying for the sick. Sometimes you feel that feel the ear hole widen. Sometimes you feel the deafness go past your finger. I know people watching online think I'm nuts. I don't give a, I don't care. They think you're nuts now if you believe Jesus is the only way to heaven. So might as well tell all the stuff too. There's power over the devil. I said, there's power over the devil. There's power over unclean spirits. There's power to open blind eyes. I said, there's power to open blind eyes. There's power that if you're losing your vision from sugar diabetes, from hidden valley ranch-induced sugar diabetes, God will open up those eyes to see. Stop saying I'm losing my vision. Start lifting your hands and thanking God that it's He that makes the seeing eye and He that forms the hearing ear. Stop saying I'm losing my mobility. God's giving you strength in your knees. God's putting new cartilage in your knees. God's giving you strong. Somebody's watching me online right now or on TV. I'm telling you, you're pulling this out of me. The glory of God is coming in that room and making you strong in your hospital room, in your prison cell. This is the hour of the presence of God delivering people in the United States of America. The devil may have written the first chapter, but Jesus is writing a new chapter. Hallelujah! But you don't have to yell like that. Wouldn't hurt. Hey, take authority quietly. Somebody's somebody's in your house in the middle of the night, two in the morning. Excuse me. I would yell, but I was raised Presbyterian. You're gonna talk. There's a way a cop talks that gets if he doesn't even have his gun drying, get somebody to quit messing around that's armed. Hey! Enough! Animals respond. Hey! Put that down! Drop it right on my mouth. I don't know why dogs do that. When they're like no, they're in trouble. Their ears get pinned back like an old Pentecostal woman's hair. Everything responds to the voice of God. Trees will quit bearing figs when you curse them. Can you say amen? Hallelujah. You know, I'm having a good time tonight. I don't know if you enjoyed this meeting, but I'm injoining myself. I'm gonna tell another story. I haven't told this story in forever. They had these um adult stores called Lion's Den in Pennsylvania. I don't know whether they still have them or not. I think they still do. It's like for truckers. So my dad drove to all his meetings. And in the 80s, late 80s, when I was a little boy, like eight or nine, he was driving down either uh 70 or 76, 80, one of them, going to a meeting, probably in New York. And he was praying in the Holy Ghost for the meeting, and he drove by one of those lines, then it ticked him off. Watching all the truckers pull in there. So my dad pulled this van over on the interstate and pointed at it and said, I curse you in Jesus' name. Got back in the car and drove to his meeting. And when he drove back, after a week of meetings, it was a smoldering pile of rubble. Yeah. It looked like an apartment complex in the Gaza Strip. And so he pulled over to find out what happened. And they told him they said that they're still investigating. It was a strange fire. Yeah. John MacArthur must have agreed with him in prayer. It was a strange fire that burnt quickly, and there's they can't figure out. They don't think it was electric. They don't think it was arson. They don't know what it is. Do you know the Planned Parenthood? Our church was in a township in Pittsburgh called Moon Township. There's a Planned Parenthood in Moon Township. I was preaching one time, it just came out of my spirit. I said, Do you think that this church can grow and that Planned Parenthood can stay here? I said, one would drive the other out. So if you think that place is going to stay open, I said, it's going to close down, and I may buy it and make it a daycare just to stick it to the devil. Well, when Planned Parenthood started going bankrupt, guess what the first Planned Parenthood was that they closed in Pennsylvania? That one right by our church, it's empty. And they're all emptying out now. Fifty some emptied last year, and they're emptying more, and they're getting ready to file bankruptcy because their money dried up, because they're cursed. I'm not cursed, but I can curse in the name of Jesus. I can bind whatever I want to bind, and I can loose whatever I want to lose. I want to ask you something tonight. What have you had enough of? And what are you looking for? Start wondering why, stop wondering why it's taking so long and start using this thing that God gave you to speak to the mountain and tell it to move and to call those things that are not as though they are. Receive your miracle tonight. In Jesus' name. Play from the beginning. Deafness and hardness of hearing, in Christ's name, come out. Open for the glory of God. Hear. In Jesus' name, both ear. First time in church. That's it. I command you to hear clearly. Pause it. When you watch your, I won't ever play from the beginning. I don't know why I'm showing you all this. When I go to pray a second time, I went to pray, and I literally could tell that's right, he's not deaf anymore. It's like I felt my spirit, there's not even anything to pray for. I've told people that I need prayer for this. And I got ready to pray. I'll tell you, the Lord just told me it's already done. That as soon as you made the decision to come for prayer and went up like he told you to, God answered based on your action. You're gonna be blown away by how quickly God delivers everything he said belongs to you into your hand. In Jesus' name. Play from the beginning. Deafness and hardness of hearing, in Christ's name, come out. Open for the glory of God. Hear. Can you authority? Who said all? I'm sorry. Yeah. Apologies. I'll make it shorter tomorrow night. Um what was I gonna say? Oh, if you can take authority over deafness, can you take authority over eczema? Anything. The things you're asking for prayer for, try slapping some oil on it and telling it to hit the road.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:23

Pastor, can I get prayer?

SPEAKER_06 1:20:24

There's nothing wrong with that. But at some point, you gotta learn how to slap some stuff around yourself. Can you say amen? One more time from the beginning, in spite of the objections from the left hand side. Deafness and hardness of hearing, in Christ's name, come for the glory of God. Here in Jesus' name, both of you. Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:19

I haven't heard this good in 35 years.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:24

Those are nice testimonies that have come up. And there's gonna be testimonies like this the rest of the week. God's gonna reclaim your whole bloodline in Jesus' name. I said, God's gonna reclaim your. You might have had a son like Cody that was on drugs, but when it's all said and done, he's never gonna be off drugs. He's gonna be anointed with the Bible preaching the gospel and making the devil sorry he didn't take him out when he had the chance. This is not the devil's time. This is the last days where God is pouring his spirit out over the flesh. You came in here hungry, and God's gonna fill you with the Holy Ghost. Sit on your feet, everybody. Hallelujah. Say it out loud: the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. One more time, the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. I want everybody in this section that would like prayer to just line up over in this section, sort of, but I don't know how to do it. Use the aisle. However, you want. Just don't get in front of or behind anybody. Some charismatics get helicopter arms, and I want you to get your nose broken. Praise God. Anyone else? If you want prayer, just line up in that across that front section. Stand shoulder to shoulder, kind of like facing uh the wall, so I can get to you. Lift both hands. Thank you, Jesus. Praise you, Lord. Hallelujah. Every hand lifted it. Now, you're allowed to watch, but don't be a looky look. Watch and pray. Enter into God.

Thank you, Lord. Let me see this lady in the green. Just step right out to the side. Lift both hands, close both eyes. Thank you, Jesus. That's it.

City of Logan. You come up from there. Thanks for coming. How far is Logan from here? Appreciate it. You guys are together? Lift both hands, close both eyes. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for power.

I'll pray for you second if you don't mind, sir. Lift your hands as you the power of God comes upon you. Now, everywhere the devil has been sitting on your family. Tonight is Luke 11 night where he gets overthrown and his goods looted. In Jesus' name. Go ahead and lift your hand. Be healed in your body. Any lost monies, held back monies, they're released tonight. In Jesus' name, be healed. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. You served in Desert Storm, sir? Appreciate it. Lift your other hand of the Lord. Be healed in your body. Put one hand on like the be healed in your central nervous system. In Jesus' name. I curse torment.

You mind if I pray for you? If I don't do anything crazy, lift both hands, close to both eyes.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:34

Jesus on holy gray.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:48

Sister Clarita, great job. All year, and great job tonight. You're a blessing. A real blessing. A couple of us wearing matching military green tops. I know I already prayed for you one time. I'll pray for you again. God's not a communist. You can have more than one prayer. Prayers aren't bread lines. Praise God. What town did you guys come from? You did, huh? Stand side by side. Now I'm telling you, things are different from tonight. In the two areas I preach. Number one, anybody bound that's connected to you, they're free right now. And then the rest just watching it play out. Secondly, any held back money or money you had to spend helping people. Now that part I'm not clear on, whether it's like rehab stuff or sickness stuff. But whatever you had to spend money to help people, the Lord's gonna make the devil cough all that money up times seven. So just off of that, you're gonna get rich. Also, any lost money from having to take time off work or not expend your company or whatever because you're dealing with the devil's mess, the Lord's gonna give you that money back. In Jesus' name. You're gonna have the best summer you've ever had. You guys are gonna go on vacation this summer. It's gonna be the best vacation, most peaceful one in Jesus' name. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Would you mind lifting your hands all? Can I pray for this lady in the teal? Teal t-shirt? Can I pray? May I pray for you? Yes. Teal. Lift both hands, close both eyes. Power of God's on you. Thank you, Jesus, for total freedom. For every crooked path, that's it. Every crooked path made straight. That's what God's doing right now. Life from tonight won't be guesswork. You're gonna hear the voice of the Holy Spirit saying, This is the way, walk ye therein. And you won't miss the will of God by one inch. One more shot. Enough is enough. Jesus' name. Mind if I pray for you, sir? Mind if I pray for her? Come right out. You. I'll pray for you first if you don't mind. Take a step forward. The beginnings of infirmity trying to set up in your body, they all go now. All of them be healed. In Jesus' name. You know why they they mock West Virginia on the news of CNN and those people and they go like backwards? They don't like West Virginians because West Virginians have great faith. They love God. Even the unsaved people. West Virginia is the kind of state that if you take the Lord's name in vain at a bar, somebody will punch you that's not saved. We don't talk like that here. God loves this state. You know that? Some great preachers have come out of this place. And there's more getting ready to come out. Be healed in your body. In Jesus' name. Are you a preacher? Or feel called to preach? Come right around. I knew you were either a preacher or an Eastern European arms dealer. Lift both hands, close both eyes. The anointing to do what God's called you to do. That everywhere the Lord sends you, you'll be stronger than that strong man that's there. The ability to bind him up and take his goods, loot his house. In Jesus' name. Thank you, Jesus. Praise the Lord. And but say, greater is he who lives in me than all those that are in this world. See, when you carry that strength God means for you to have. A few nights ago I finished preaching in uh Spokane, Washington, and we flew to Phoenix. There's a Mexican restaurant that's open until two in the morning. So I go there to eat before bed. Some people take ambient. I like burritos. They help me sleep. So I went there, and I guess the ladies that work there, it's all Spanish speaking. And I had my pilot with me from the Dominican Republic. So the Lord orchestrated the whole thing. They had looked me up on Instagram. So think of this. I just finished a service like this, then flew to Arizona and just went to a Mexican restaurant. And though my pilot said, That server wants to know if you'll pray for. And he translated, My husband is an alcoholic and it's hurting our marriage. I prayed. She started crying, was staggering, getting ready to fall. And I finished praying and went to leave. This is almost this is at 1.55 in the morning. After I finished eating. Then three more got in line, servers. My son's on uh drugs. Will you pray for him? Prayed. Power of God hit her. And uh I have witnesses that were there. That sounds like a made-up preacher's story. So then I finished, everybody that worked there was in line. Seven people, maybe? So literally the exact same thing we had happen in church recreated itself. It's an outdoor restaurant because it's Arizona, it never rains, and uh we're surrounded by barbed wire. If you go to eat Mexican food and there's not police tape and bullet holes, you're at the wrong place. So that that stood out to me. That if you if you get that strength that the disciples didn't have in Mark, but they did have an axe, then you don't need a church service. Everywhere you go, you know, we we started parking our airplane at a new airport. My pilot came up to me when we went to leave and said, the two owners want to know if you'll pray for them. I mean, all older, well-to-do men and pray. It's just it recreates. That's why the Bible gave that instruction. Be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. And I don't know why they decided to glorify weakness. I mean, no, God wants us weak and broken. No, he doesn't. He wanted you weak and broken, he didn't just send heroin from heaven or drugs. He sent Jesus that those that are weak and broken can be whole and strong. Can you say amen? May I pray for this man in the second row? Black t-shirt and glasses? Come right around. The Lord has set you free of a long-standing little fox that was trying to spoil your vine. Lift both hands, you're already free. In Jesus' name. There it is. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. It's done. You won't battle those things anymore. In Jesus' mighty name. May I pray for you in the nice, uh, nicely brake dress? See your hand. No more struggling. In Jesus' name. Praise God. Jesus never struggled. You guys got a devil and nobody can get come out, and the th the demon throws itself to the ground when Jesus comes, and Jesus' like, how long has that been happening? Yeah, since he was a little boy. Easy. Now they're bringing me prayer requests from TV and YouTube. That number that's on the screen, text prayer to 75767. The next five people that do that, I'll pray for you individually. That's a lot of prayer requests for not mentioning it. Starting to come in from TV now. We launched a new station. Real America's Faith and Family. It's on Dish Network and it's on your it'll be on your smart TV shortly. Tony, Artie, Tomiko in Colleen, Texas, Helen, James in Oklahoma, Christine in Florida, Shelly in Washington State, Asia and Fort Worth, Texas, Dave in St. Louis, love you, man. I know who you are. Roberto in Florida and others. Everybody that's here, lift your hands and I'm gonna pray. And then I'll the next five that write in, I'll pray for you too. Every every hold of the enemy, everywhere the devil has set up shop in your family and convinced you that's just the way things are gonna be from now on. That devil is gone. And everything he's held back, now it's released to you. In Jesus' name. There's people here tonight. Very shortly, you'll be in church. Your grandkids will be with you. Your daughters and sons will be with you. I don't mean for Mother's Day, half not wanting to be there. I'm talking. Some of you are gonna have kids that don't go to church, that don't go to church right now, that are gonna get so on fire for God, it's gonna make you look lukewarm. They're gonna get radical. So get ready for it. And don't be that kind of mom that would pray for your son to get saved, then got saved, and you talk him out of going to Bible college or whatever. Let the fire burn. Let me pray for this lady in the gray zip up. Come right out. Lift both hands. I want to give you a commendation from Jesus. The Bible says to stand strong and fight well in the Lord's battles. And you've done that, but now in the book of X, where it says, then times of refreshing will come from the Holy Ghost. Everything that that battle that you stood and never wavered, but it took something out of you, the Lord puts that back in you. Double strength, double joy.

unknown 1:41:57

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:00

In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. If you feel yourself falling over, don't grab me. I'm the problem. Praise God. Hallelujah. I pray for uh Brother Cody and in the tan jack. Have I met you? Where? Okay. Where do you live? Kentucky? And then oh yeah, I remember you from the pickleburn. All three of you guys come forth. Lift both hands to the Lord. I pray for you, Makana and your wife. She's still with you. Lift both hands to the Lord. You've done well, Brother Cody. But you're gonna do even better. The Lord's pleased with you. Another level. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. The anointed. What the Lord put on Patrick, I lose it to you. Be able to run the finances for people that are nuts. If you're the accountant for the guy who does the accounting and stuff, if you're an accountant for a Holy Ghost man of God, it's like being Pablo Escobar's bookie. You don't know what the guy's gonna do. Just announce he's starting a church somewhere, it's not in the budget. Lift both hands, close both eyes. You're turning the corner, you're gonna make it. Just like you had that meeting in Minnesota at an actual church, those those are gonna open more for you now. The grace it takes to be a preacher and a preacher's wife, receive it. In Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. Praise God. Every head bowed, every eye closed. If you're here tonight, we've been talking about people standing for their family. Maybe you're the one people were standing for. You've never given your life to Jesus Christ. Or you once did when you were. I was witnessing to this lady in Pittsburgh at a place of business. She's as far from God as you could be. She said, I was confirmed in the Methodist church when I was eight. So maybe you had some experience with church, but you're not living like you should today. If you were going to stand before God in 60 seconds, you would not be ready to meet him. Let's change that tonight. I'm going to pray, and if you want to be included in that prayer where I surrender my life to Jesus Christ, you know, on topic of what the Lord had me preach on tonight, you know what happens when you get saved? One of the things is the Bible says you're transferred out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of his dear son. So the devil loses access to you because you don't belong in his kingdom anymore. Just like a Colombian military official can't harass me, I'm not in Columbia. He can't come to Wexford, Pennsylvania, and say, if you don't pay me a thousand dollars, I'm gonna do that. He can't do it. I'm not in his jurisdiction. And when you get saved, you get transferred out of the devil's jurisdiction. So if you have never received Jesus Christ, or you once did, and you fell away, and you say, Jonathan, when you pray tonight, I want Christ to save me. I want Jesus to heal me from the inside out. I want you to quickly lift your hand. I'm gonna include you in this prayer. No shame. Just I'm turning my, I see your hand. I see your hand. Who else? I'm turning my back on the devil tonight. Tonight's my night to tell the devil, you and I are finished. I'm gonna live for Jesus the rest of my life. And God will save you right now. He'll heal you from the inside out. Very quickly, those that lifted the hand, come out of your seat and join me at the front. We're gonna pray. In Jesus' name. Go ahead and clap for them as they come. Come. Those that lifted the hand, come, I'm gonna pray with you.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:27

Jesus is the answer.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:30

Say this out loud with me. Tell me your first name. Jesse, go and lift your hand. Say this. Heavenly Father, I turn my back on sin. I repent. I believe in my heart, you raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth, Jesus is Lord and my Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen.
