Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I titled it Living Above Addiction, Depression, Disease, Lack, Tragedy, Failure and Defeat. Because the Bible says, let me see. Acts, chapter 10, verse 38. Acts 10:38. One of the big guys that's much stronger than me couldn't bring that pulpit down on the floor. It'd be fine with me. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. This is Peter summing up the ministry of Jesus. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power. Everybody say in power, I won't make you repeat things all night, but I will have you say a couple things. So there's something that separates the ministry of Jesus from Buddha and Hinduism and any other religion you want to name is everybody taught things but Jesus. The Bible says, in fact, if you put it up there, if somebody's doing scriptures, Luke, chapter 6, verse 17, that Jesus had a peculiar thing about his ministry that set him apart, Bible says, and he came down with them. So he was praying, then he came down, and the company of his disciples and a great multitude of people out of all Judah, Judea and Jerusalem and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and be healed of their diseases. Everybody's saying, be healed. So he carried power, not just to teach people how to be kind and a different way to live life, but when people came, if they were sick or they had children that were tormented by whatever they would get healed. In fact, Luke was a medical doctor, and he writes about it maybe more than the other guys in the Gospels because it stood out to him how powerful Jesus was. They came to hear him and be healed of their diseases. 18. And they that were vexed with unclean spirits, and they were healed. That word vexed is Old English for tormented. So tormented is not just somebody that's demon possessed. If you've ever had a family member that's a heroin addict or a severe alcoholic, they're tormented by that thing. In fact, a lot of times I've been in ministry for 23 years. If you go up to somebody that's on drugs and say, you know, you really should get off drugs, it's not like they go, oh, really? They'll tell you. Almost all of them will tell you, I've been trying to get off drugs. I've been to the methadone clinic. I've been to rehab eight times. I can't get off drugs. I feel this power come over me and I can't get any relief from it until I have drugs or get drunk or whatever. That's a tormenting spirit. And they were all healed. 19. Everyone tried to touch him because healing power went out from him. So there's that.
Assistant or Co-Host
Acts 10:38.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
There was a power that Jesus carried.
Assistant or Co-Host
The Bible says a woman with the issue of blood knew, if I could
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
just touch his robe, the bleeding inside of me will stop.
Assistant or Co-Host
Everybody tried to touch him, for there went virtue or, you know, righteous power
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
came out from him. No, you put my scripture back up. They'll take my word for it when I quote the other ones. Luke 6.
Assistant or Co-Host
19. And the whole multitude sought to touch
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
him, for there weren't virtue out from him. And he healed how many of them? Oh, so when you have people teach you, sometimes God wants people healed, other times he doesn't. That's not consistent with the ministry of Jesus. Everybody wanted to touch him, and everyone that touched him, he healed them all. Acts 10:38.
Assistant or Co-Host
And no doubt you know how God
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power, who went about doing good and healing.
Assistant or Co-Host
What did he go about doing?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Good?
Assistant or Co-Host
Not bad.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You know, I don't know why God took my aunt. God's not taking people's aunts.
Assistant or Co-Host
God.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
God sent Jesus that people would have life. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came to bring life and have it more abundantly.
Assistant or Co-Host
Amen.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And he went about doing good and healing all. There it is again. All who were oppressed by who?
Assistant or Co-Host
The devil.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
The devil's the oppressor, for God was with him. And then, let me see. Isaiah 54, 14, 17, healing all who were oppressed of the devil. So Satan is the oppressor of mankind. You can deal with things at a natural route. You can take methadone. If you're on drugs, you. You can get counseling, work, or. For that we.
Assistant or Co-Host
For anybody that's trying to help people.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
But Jesus never dealt with things on a physical route. He dealt with things at their spiritual root. Because at the root of every problem is the devil. And then the Bible says in Isaiah 54:14 about believers and righteousness, shalt thou be established.
Assistant or Co-Host
The Bible's telling you that when you make a choice to turn your back
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
on sin and leave the devil's kingdom of darkness and join God's camp, righteousness is given to you and righteousness establishes you.
Assistant or Co-Host
Thou shalt be far from oppression.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
So some people teach that as long as you're in this world, you're going to be oppressed. How many know even as Christians, we battle depression.
Assistant or Co-Host
Well, I don't agree with that because
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
the Bible says here you can be far from it. Secondly, you can carry the same power
Assistant or Co-Host
Christ had that where you go, people get delivered from the things that are
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
meant to destroy you. That's what's going to happen this week.
Assistant or Co-Host
People that came in here bound are not only going to be set free, you're going to come out of these meetings and be a wrecking ball to
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
the kingdom of hell for the rest of your life. In righteousness shalt thou be established, and thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear and from terror, for it shall not come near thee. 17 no weapon. Everybody say no weapon. No weapon that is formed against you will prosper. Can you take that literally? Well, God, this is an easy crowd. Nobody needs convinced. You can know this thing's in revival already. Well, everybody say no weapon formed against me will prosper. You know, I preach in a country in November and again in January. Nigeria, where they're kidnapping Christians. They'll bust in and kidnap a whole sanctuary full of Christians. One one church. A couple weeks ago, 166, which was everybody in the church got kidnapped, never to be seen again. So this pastor there has the largest church in the world. Hundred thousand cedar with overflow. And they were asking him at this minister's conference, why, what made your church grow? So he's going to tell this story. I have the video of it. That they had a young boy that was going to university, kidnapped by Islamic jihadists, took him out into the forest, stripped him down and then got ready to shoot him. And they're going to tell what happened. Everybody say no weapon formed against me can prosper. Watch this.
Testimony Speaker
A woman, a widow woman who is on our welfare in church. And the son is on our scholarship in Plateau State. Was going to one of the bush areas in Plateau State from the school in Barak in la, the Federal Polytechnic and crossing the river and going. And then they were accosted with by Fulani headsmen, 15 of them with AK47. Marched them into the bush, striped them naked, asked them to recite the Islamic thing and they were not able and they wanted to shoot. Now the gun shot and the gun refused to fire. 15 AK 47s and then the people were released. What is this? Wear your cloth back? And they went into the went and the young man went back to school. About 10 days later, the head of the Fulani traced the young man back to school and he, Louis saw him. He said. He said, yes I know you. You are the one who wanted to kill us the other day. He said, yes, you really know me. Please, I came to ask you for the secret of that power. I need that same power. Can you give me that same power? And he said, what are you talking about? He said, the power that made our gun not to fire. He said, it's the power of Jesus Christ. He said, no, give me, tell me more. He said, because since that day, the gun has not fired anywhere. None of the guns, none of the guns has fired anywhere for nobody. He said, it is Jesus Christ that has given that made a difference in my life. He said, then I need to know about that. Jesus Christ Fulani headsmen. He said, can you give me your phone number? And the man said, you collected our phone the other day. He said, please, I'm so sorry.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
He said, can I have your phone number? He said, you stole my phone. Keep going.
Testimony Speaker
We'll return back the phone. And close her eyes. And close her eyes. I was singing one of the songs. You are always there to help. You are always there to help me. Even when no one was there. She bent her head, finished singing, open her eyes. And she was sitting on the highway by the military checkpoint. She had disappeared from there. Translocated, transported from the road, sitting by military checkpoint on Benin or expressway. And the soldiers welcomed her. Oh, because they heard what happened. Oh, you are welcome. Sorry. And then kept her for another 24 hours, transported her to Lagos. People heard such things. And then boom, we started hearing calls. Somebody was kidnapped. Can you pray?
Assistant or Co-Host
So he's saying, you can bring back to me.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
He's saying the thing people were in the fear of most. There were kidnappers. It'd be like if you were preaching in Matamoros, Mexico, trying to start a church. And everybody's afraid of the cartels. And then the power of God starts setting people free from their grip. These Islamic jihadists, Fulani herdsmen would kidnap. And there's nothing you can do about it. The police are in on it with them. Then people started getting delivered by the power of God. So he said, they said, oh, this thing's fightable. This thing's conquerable. See if the devil can convince you that the problems of life you just have to lay down for.
Assistant or Co-Host
Depression runs in our family. Suicide runs in our family.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Kidney disease runs in our family.
Assistant or Co-Host
Cancer runs in our family.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Everybody gets depressed. We're in a mental health crisis. If that's what they tell you, then there's no resistance. The Bible says resist the devil and he'll Flee.
Assistant or Co-Host
So if the devil can get you
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
to stop resisting him, then he can stay.
Assistant or Co-Host
But tonight you're gonna find out there's nothing the devil tries to do to any man or any woman that the power of God won't strike it down. Today, in Jesus name, whatever you're up against, there is power from heaven to knock that thing out of your family permanently. In Jesus name, if you believe it. Can you give the Lord a mighty hand?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Clap tonight.
Assistant or Co-Host
Isaiah 54:17.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
No weapon formed against you will prosper. Every tongue that rises up against you in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance not of pastors, preachers, or expert Christians. This is the inheritance of everyone who serves the Lord. And their righteousness is of me.
Assistant or Co-Host
Notice 14.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
In righteousness shall you be established.
Assistant or Co-Host
17.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Their righteousness is of me. That's why such an attempt is made in churches, to get you to think you're like everybody else. We're all sinners. How many know we all sin every day? No.
Assistant or Co-Host
When you have contact with the blood
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
of Jesus, your sins are washed away. And now you're righteous because of Christ.
Assistant or Co-Host
You look like everybody else, but you're not like everybody else. You're a child of the most high God. Can you say amen?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
So I preached this yesterday in Texas, and it was the same in Arizona. There was a great flow that came out of that message. In fact, I did something I had never done before. I gave an altar call for people to get saved, which I normally do. And I got this message from a family. We had almost record attendance yesterday. The church is 2 years old, we're just under 700. And I got this message from a lady about her brother, Pastor Jonathan, I want you to know we have prayed for years to get my brother to your meetings and to get saved. He used to battle with fentanyl and alcohol and was in a recovery home the same weekend he just so happened to visit is the same weekend you announced you're coming to Texas. I come once a month. I haven't seen him in six years. He got saved at the altar. Touched by the Holy Ghost. And then she said a nice thank you to me. So then she sent the video of the service. This is their brother that they hadn't seen in six years on fentanyl and alcohol. That came right down to the altar right there.
Assistant or Co-Host
Be free. I command that stuff to let you go.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Jesus name came back and hugged them, smiling back at their seat. Here is another. So then I was going to have everybody line up like if you came in Seattle you saw me do. That's my standard operating procedure. And as I got ready to line everybody up to lay hands on them, I felt the Lord check me, that when everybody started moving, it would get people out of the flow. You know, people shake hands and talk and in Texas. And so I just went around the. The building and started to just anybody I saw that the power of God was touching. I weaved in and out of the aisles and there was a lady seated and I grabbed her hand. When I did, I felt like she had had damage on her inside from miscarriages. And so all I said was, be healed on your insides in Jesus name. She shook her head, yes, like this. And I kept walking, thinking she was just being polite. Probably didn't even have anything wrong with her. Just didn't want to discourage me. And then I got this. Today, Pastor Jonathan, after four C sections and especially over the last year, I have been really struggling with my health. My thyroid completely failed. And after trying holistic treatments that didn't work, I eventually had to go on a very strong medication. Even though I'm only in my 30s, there were times I honestly felt like I was at the end of my life. Zero strength and zero energy. When you prayed for me and said full restoration and strength, something incredible happened. It felt like the blood in my body suddenly started rushing. I could almost physically hear it moving through me like crashing waves. My husband and I were both completely shaken by it. I had the best sleep night of sleep in my life. And today I feel amazing without any medication or supplements. We are so grateful. Yeah, nice thing.
Assistant or Co-Host
I want to tell everybody that can hear me in Spokane.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Jesus.
Assistant or Co-Host
Religion changes, denominations change, but Jesus never changes. The Jesus of the Bible is the same yesterday, today and forever. And the same way. Everybody went to touch him so that they could be well. He said, wherever two or three gather in my name, I'm there in.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
In their midst.
Assistant or Co-Host
I'm not here to share my messages with another part of town and move
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
some books and have some more meetings and get some offerings.
Assistant or Co-Host
It is time for Washington State to become the center of the move of God again. God is going to touch. The devil has overstayed his welcome. And today is the day the Lord has made. If you believe that with me, can you say a living amen?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
So if no weapon formed against you will prosper. All I did in this title was make a list in the Bible. Say something with me. Say, the devil has no new tricks.
Assistant or Co-Host
Anything you go through in life, you
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
can find at least the template for it. In the Bible, if not the exact thing. And so you find what does the devil do to destroy humanity.
Assistant or Co-Host
That's the list I made living above addiction.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Now, notice I didn't say getting free from everybody.
Assistant or Co-Host
Say living above. Yeah, you can get free and never go back to that prison again. In Jesus name.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Living above addiction, depression, disease, lack, tragedy, failure and defeat. I think that sums up about everything. You can find the Bible that Satan did to people. I wrote this in all caps. When you give your life to Jesus and read your Bible, there becomes a
Assistant or Co-Host
clear understanding that I am meant to live above the natural.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
There's a word that's associated with Christianity, supernatural.
Assistant or Co-Host
It means above. Not that you deny the natural, but God's given you power to live a supernatural life.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
When Covid hit in 2020, I wasn't pastoring a church, so I couldn't shut a church down. But I, I not only kept preaching live, I booked extra meetings for the end of March. Coming up on six years ago, the week we were supposed to be shut down, I booked a week of meetings in Huntington, Texas, just to kind of stick it to the devil. Well, when I did that, we made international news like they tried to do to shut anybody down. This idiot preacher is going to get everybody killed. And so I had one of my old Sunday school teachers call me that I've, you know, I've kept in touch with through the years. She said, you're getting kind of radical, aren't you? I said to her, you radicalized me. What did you think was going to happen to me at six years old
Assistant or Co-Host
when you read me stories like Daniel
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
and the Lion's Den and Shadrach, Meshach
Assistant or Co-Host
and Abednego and David and Goliath and Esther. Whatever you're going to read.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
When you read the Bible, even as a child, it starts to put something on the inside of you that I might look like everybody else, but when I hook up with God, I'm not like everybody else. There's a power that God gives me
Assistant or Co-Host
that the things that take other people out, not only will it not take
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
me out, God will give me his
Assistant or Co-Host
power to set my generation free.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I wasn't saying that to be a
Assistant or Co-Host
smart alec to my teacher. I meant that I can remember things she taught me.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
She was the one that taught me those stories.
Assistant or Co-Host
I remember hearing that and thinking, wait a minute.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
If this God is real, he's not
Assistant or Co-Host
just up in heaven divorced from our reality.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
He wants to share his power so
Assistant or Co-Host
that we can go and set other people free. In fact, the whole Reason he went up to heaven.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Remember Jesus? The disciples were upset.
Assistant or Co-Host
Quit telling everybody you're going to go up to heaven.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
We want you here. Jesus said, you think it's better for you if I stay here, but it's
Assistant or Co-Host
actually better for you if I go than if I stay. Because if I stay, I can't send another.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
He is the Holy Spirit, who is
Assistant or Co-Host
with you now and later will be in you.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I wasn't going to do this tonight. I was going to save it for tomorrow night, but. Tessa, can you find my tweet that I wrote last night? It's not going viral, but it's going bacterial. There's close to 20,000 views, which I would say my average Tweet gets about 4, 3 or 4,000 where somebody. It's amazing how there's this effort in Christianity to take all the power out of it. Like it's just a code of conduct. In fact, while you're getting that tweet where I go, I bust up everything that guy says. Can you find that guy on the stool talking about how he doesn't believe in God's miracle power anymore? You know, this is what many people. Why you should thank God for Pastor Russell every day. This is what many people are subjected to on Sunday.
Assistant or Co-Host
Not only are they not getting any
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
faith, they're getting doubt seeded into them from the.
Assistant or Co-Host
From the platform by the pastor that the things you read about in the Bible, God doesn't do those things anymore. He can do them, but they're not for today, this week, you're going to see and hear and find out that God not only is able to do
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
these things, he's looking for people in
Assistant or Co-Host
Washington state and Idaho and Alberta and whoever flies. If I heard people flew in from Russia. There's nothing the devil's done to you that God can't do something about it. Tonight God is looking for who to help this week. When you bring people here, there are families that are going to get set free. And what people don't understand that haven't been around revival meetings.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
It only takes one person in a
Assistant or Co-Host
family to knock the devil out. And then it starts spreading like wildfire through the rest of the family. There's people that are here tonight. You're the only member of your family. By the end of the week, the whole row will be full of your family that have come to Jesus Christ and received of his saving power. Can you say amen?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Good here.
Assistant or Co-Host
Why.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Why doesn't everybody believe like this? Because many. This is probably the kind of pastor that was Here, before Pastor Russell came, this is what empties a church.
Testimony Speaker
Out.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Watch this.
Church Planter or Guest Speaker
So why do we still go to church? Besides the fact that we started one and I guess we should show up. For me, as I may have just given away, I'm a little bit uncomfortable with spirituality, with miracles, with God supernaturally intervening in our world. And when I say I'm a little bit uncomfortable, I might not even believe that it happens at all. Which is probably a big downer for you to hear from me on a Sunday as a guy who runs a church. So if I don't believe in that, for instance, I'm. I'm not someone who believes that, you know, Noah's Ark was a real thing.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You can literally look it up and see if Noah's Ark on a satellite. Why.
Church Planter or Guest Speaker
Why am I still here? And on Sunday morning at 8:05 when I'm crawling under the stage plugging in cables, I ask myself that question sometimes. But I have a. What I think is a really good answer. Reason number one. I like the fact that Christianity is a code that teaches me what I think is like, maybe the best way to live, the best way to interact in the world, the best way to treat people. I still find a ton of value in that.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And so that guy couldn't have summed
Assistant or Co-Host
it up any better.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
If you want to have a church that doesn't bother anybody, reduce this book to being nice to people, treating people right, tipping 22% instead of 18%. And, and that's all good. We're not, this is not. We're not promoting treating people wrong and not tipping. But if you think the Bible is just a code of conduct, you have missed the entirety of the Bible.
Assistant or Co-Host
You can't go four paragraphs in this thing without running into God supernaturally intervening in the affairs of man.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
God has a vested interest in helping people.
Assistant or Co-Host
The Bible says he's a friend who sticks closer than a brother, and a
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
very present help in time of trouble. Anybody in here knows if you ever get in trouble, people go missing. In fact, during that Covid time, I didn't know Pastor Russell back then, but when I made the news and all that, I didn't even get texts. I got a text from my mom, and that's about it. My phone went silent for about two weeks. People go running when you're in trouble. Like the prodigal son when you got plenty of money and you're throwing parties, you make friends you didn't even know you have.
Assistant or Co-Host
But when you.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
When you get in trouble, people go Missing. Did you know Jesus is the exact opposite?
Assistant or Co-Host
He went around in the Gospels looking for people who were in trouble that had no hope and rescuing them. Jesus is a rescuer of those that are in trouble.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
If you came here and you're as weak as can be and you don't
Assistant or Co-Host
know how you're going to make it,
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
like that lady with the C section said. I wasn't sure I even had enough ready, enough energy to make it through the service.
Assistant or Co-Host
And she came.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Jesus had an interest in raising her up. Jesus has an interest in helping you today.
Assistant or Co-Host
You don't have to get your life together and get everything straight and come to him just tonight. If you'll reach out your hand, he'll touch you and make you well. If you can testify to that, can you say a living Amen? Today I'm going to show you another video. This is in Maine.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Maine is east coast Washington as far as climate and what you need to wear wool. And I would say a third thing. Church attendance percentage. Pacific Northwest and Maine and Vermont are some of the lowest in the country. Well, I'm preaching at this church in a tiny town. The town only had 1400 people with no big towns around it. In fact, the county I was in is the size of Connecticut and Rhode island put together. But there's only 67000 people in the whole thing. And so there's a lady there, Somebody brought her. They did an outreach in Section 8 housing and passed a invitation to her so I couldn't see her. In fact, the church was set up kind of like this, so she was sitting more in the back. I couldn't see her tattoos or anything. But she came to the altar to get saved and I could feel God's power touching her.
Assistant or Co-Host
Find out later.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
It's her first time ever in church. When I went to hold her hands and pray for her like I did for that guy in Texas, she had 666 tattooed on the underside of her wrist, a bunch of occultic tattoos on her neck, which means Jesus doesn't care. He doesn't care what you got yourself wrapped up into.
Assistant or Co-Host
If you call on him, he'll answer you and pull you out of that mess.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
She not only got saved when I grabbed her hands like that, like their alcoholic brother on Fentanyl, she went out under the power and laid on her back for about 45 minutes and laughed and laughed and laughed. Next night she brought her boyfriend. He got saved.
Assistant or Co-Host
Final night she brought her mother, sister,
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
herself and one other person. Everyone came to the altar that Person
Assistant or Co-Host
who was serving the devil had become an evangelist by Friday night and had turned her whole family around.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You have it. There's the sister laughing.
Assistant or Co-Host
There's her on her back laughing.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
We never said one funny thing the whole night. There were no jokes.
Assistant or Co-Host
But that depression was turned to joy. I want to tell you something. God not only will take your depression away, he'll fill you with joy unspeakable. And you'll never be the same again. He'll not only take your sickness away,
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
he'll make you strong.
Assistant or Co-Host
Can you say Amen? So there is an effort.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You know, I don't have to tell you. That's how this church changed hands. The devil knows he can't stop the
Assistant or Co-Host
power of the church, of the word of God, so he tries to corrupt it from within.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I wouldn't be surprised if that guy that was sitting on the stool some point was as on fire for God as I am or as Pastor Russell is and got around some seminary professors. In fact, when I was preaching at Pastor Russell's church in Seattle, that's who criticized the meeting. We didn't have any problems with antifa.
Assistant or Co-Host
We didn't have any problems with lgbtq. The local full gospel seminary played clips
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
of our meetings and mocked it.
Assistant or Co-Host
The devil hates the power of God. He doesn't care how many churches we build as long as none of them carry God's power. So he tries to get people to doubt God's power.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Doubt signs and wonders.
Assistant or Co-Host
And then it turns churches into nothing
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
more than a referral center.
Assistant or Co-Host
You can't help anybody.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You tell people where a kidney specialist is.
Assistant or Co-Host
Your son's on drugs. I know a good drug therapy place you. You battle depression.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I know about Lexapro.
Assistant or Co-Host
I can help get you a prescription. But Jesus never recommended people to go outside for help. They brought unto him all the sick. And no matter what their sickness or. Or what their disease or if they were tormented by evil spirits, he healed them all. And God is looking for an end time church that will carry the power of Christ to their generation to set people free from the things the devil's using to take them out. You're going to be part of that church.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Let me see a scripture. Let me see. Second Timothy 3, 5. One of the signs of the last days.
Assistant or Co-Host
They will have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Let me see. NLT says have nothing to do with people like that.
Assistant or Co-Host
They'll act religious. A sign of the last days. They will act religious.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
There's no shortage of churches in Washington. There's plenty of them. But if you start saying Mother Earth equal with Jesus Christ, then there's no power. You can.
Assistant or Co-Host
The devil doesn't care if you erect
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
half a million churches.
Assistant or Co-Host
If they don't have the power of
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
God and a sign of the last days, they will act religious but they
Assistant or Co-Host
will reject the power that would actually make them godly.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Means like God, in righteousness shalt thou be established.
Assistant or Co-Host
When you come in contact with Christ, he not only forgives your sin, the sin nature comes under subjection of the righteousness of God. That makes you, without trying, a good husband, a caring father, someone that walks with God's power in your generation. I'm gonna tell you something tonight. There's enough firepower in this room with you to run the devil straight out of Washington state back into Canada, back into Puget Sound. When hundreds of people come out carrying God's righteousness on the inside of them, the devil won't know what hit him.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
They will act religious, but they will reject the power. So form and tradition is not what makes you carry power.
Assistant or Co-Host
An encounter.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
What's the. What's the mission statement of pursuit? Pop it up so everybody can see it. They'll act religious but reject the pound. So why is God using Pastor Russell and his church? Because their mission statement is the exact opposite of what the devil's trying to do. The pursuit church does not exist to
Assistant or Co-Host
be celebrated by local newspapers and local media.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You know, I would ask myself a question if I lived here. Why is there only one church Antifa doesn't like?
Assistant or Co-Host
Why.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Why is there one place that people that. That hate the things the Bible stand
Assistant or Co-Host
for, they're okay with all the other churches.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Churches have made peace with those organizations.
Assistant or Co-Host
People keep their mouth shut about things they know without being told. Don't bring that topic up. But there's one church in the Pacific Northwest that decided we don't care what the world's okay with. We don't care what political parties approve of. We're going to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ with power and demonstration. Revival or we die.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
The pursuit exists to glorify Jesus and in doing so bring people into an encounter with the presence of God. Somebody put something online a little while ago. They said too many times. There's a preacher. You could tell he was backslidden just by his tone of voice. He said too many times. We emphasize God's power without emphasizing his presence. And it hit my spirit realm. So I said to Chad, GPT. Why is this a stupid statement? I can't quite put my finger on it, but maybe you can help. And Chad GPT in under 10 seconds said, there's no place in the Bible where God's presence appeared. His power did not also manifest.
Assistant or Co-Host
I'm telling you, I'm not one of
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
these evangelists that thinks all my services are awesome. But yesterday in Texas, God's presence. Let me see what we started with. Luke, chapter 6, verse 17. Luke 6:17. When they came down from the mountain, the disciples stood with Jesus on a large level plain surrounded by many of his followers and by the crowds.
Assistant or Co-Host
There were people from all over Judea
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
and Jerusalem and from as far north as the seacoast of Tyre and Satan. They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those troubled by evil spirits were healed.
Assistant or Co-Host
Everyone tried to touch him because healing
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
power went out from him and he healed everyone.
Assistant or Co-Host
Let me see 19 in the King
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
James again, the whole multitude sought to touch him because there went out virtue. His presence went out. And when his presence went out, it healed everybody.
Assistant or Co-Host
There's people being healed right now as the word of God's going out. The presence of God is here. And where the presence of God is,
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
the power of God is.
Assistant or Co-Host
And where the power of God is, there is freedom from every oppression of the devil. I tell you tonight, whatever you came in here with, as real as it is the blood of Jesus is more real and will take it out of your life today. In Jesus mighty name. Go ahead, take 30 seconds and celebrate it. Clap your hands all ye people. Shout unto God. Let me see the pursuit mission statement again. The devil that's in back of these
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
groups that hate the church.
Assistant or Co-Host
That's why there's a problem with this church. That's why no one ever protested outside
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
this church till four weeks ago. Because they're not looking to have dead lethargic church services.
Assistant or Co-Host
They're looking to bring people into having an encounter with the power of God. And I'm telling you tonight, you're going to have an encounter with that power. And you will leave out of here never to be the same again. The devil does not have permission to dictate the future of your life. God is going to put you on a different path today and you'll never
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
be the same in Jesus name. That's the last thing the devil wants, is for people to have an encounter with the presence of God. I'm not picking on Catholics, but my mom's family were faithful Catholics. My oldest aunt said they went once every other Saturday, twice a month their whole lives to Catholic church. Nobody knew what it meant to be born again. Nobody was saved.
Assistant or Co-Host
Everybody battled.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
My one aunt, the second youngest one
Assistant or Co-Host
already had had a son to a
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
guy that was in prison outside of
Assistant or Co-Host
marriage, going to church every other weekend. Church without the power of God is a fancy building that bores people to death. You come in bound, you leave bound. You come in sick, you leave sick. But I read you twice out of Luke chapter 6. Jesus's meetings were not like that. When you came to Jesus's meetings, you could come full of the devil with no clothes on and leave with clothes on. And in your right mind they brought unto him everybody. And he told us, after I leave the same kind of services I had, that's what I want you to have. That's what this week is set apart to be. 2026 will not be a repeat of 2025. God is going to turn everything around in you and your family's life. You're only one prayer away. The devil is not going to possess one United States.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
He's coming out of Washington, he's coming
Assistant or Co-Host
out of Oregon, he's coming out of Minnesota. All 50 states are going to be shaken by the power of God this year, whether the devil likes it or not. And Washington is getting in on the ground floor. Get ready for the best week that you've ever had.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
The last thing Satan wants people to know, in or out of church, is that you can have an encounter with God's power and never be the same. Look at this tweet this guy put up. Scripture never instructs Christians to rebuke our disease, cast out our problems, speak into our trials, claim our success, demand God to do something. God is not your genie and the Holy Spirit's not your puppet. However you want to phrase it, my friend. God's the one that said, come boldly before my throne and ask for help
Assistant or Co-Host
in the time that you need it
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
and I'll do it. So I felt like, put it back. I felt like this Dustin guy very succinctly pointed out, I thought if I
Assistant or Co-Host
were the devil, that's what I would
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
want people to think. You have no power to rebuke disease. You shouldn't even try. You can't cast out problems. You can't speak in address.
Assistant or Co-Host
So let's take it one by one.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Go ahead, rebuke our disease.
Assistant or Co-Host
Luke 4. 39.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Jesus stood over Peter's mother in law, rebuked the fever and it left her, and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. Jesus rebuked sickness directly. You know why this is going bacterial instead of 4,000 views, 20,000. Who knows
Assistant or Co-Host
how many you'll end up with?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
It's only less than 24 hours old. Because there's this false dichotomy that people make you think that guys like put the prior tweeter up. People like this Dustin guy, they have good theology. But guys like me and Russell, we have more exciting services, but we're kind of brain dead. You know, if we sat in a room with this guy, we don't know what we're talking about.
Assistant or Co-Host
So that's the real Christianity. But if you want to have, you
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
know, a Monday night, that's exciting, you can kind of just set aside the fact that me and Russell don't have good theology and enjoy a, a, a good service. But I'm telling you, you, we, we understand from the Bible none of those things are true.
Assistant or Co-Host
Go ahead, pop it back up.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
So people like to see that what they believe has scriptural backing. Luke 9:1. Then he called his 12 disciples together. Keep that up. And gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. You guys are an easy crowd.
Assistant or Co-Host
All I got to do is yell
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Bible verses and you clap. He called his 12 disciples together and gave them power. Everybody say, power and authority over what? How many devils? Jonathan, there's a demon principality that's overwashed and great. Does it fall under the category of all, all devils and how many diseases to cure all diseases? And so one guy wrote to me, I was surprised. He was from Ghana. West African churches usually know better. But I guess this guy got lost. He wrote to me, he said, yes, Jesus did that, but that doesn't mean we're coming to do it. Well, first of all, put up, put up Matthew, chapter 10, verses 1 and 2. When Jesus had called it. You can do NLT. When Jesus had called unto him his 12 disciples, he gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal how many kinds of disease and illness?
Assistant or Co-Host
2.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Then it tells the names of the 12. Keep going. Then Jesus sent them out with these instructions. Don't go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans, but only to the people of Israel, God's lost sheep.
Assistant or Co-Host
Go.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Now here's what they were not told to do. Go and tell them that the kingdom of God is near and heal the sick. Everybody say heal the sick. So you actually don't have a choice if you're going to be a real minister, to be a healing minister or not. Everybody say, heal the sick. Raise the dead. Cure those with leprosy. That was the most feared Disease of the day, cast out devils. Give as freely as you have received. Let me see. John 14, verse 12. John 14:12.
Assistant or Co-Host
I tell you the truth.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
How many know this was only for the first 12 apostles?
Assistant or Co-Host
No.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Do you know what the word anyone means?
Assistant or Co-Host
I tell you the truth.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Anyone who believes in me, it would say I believe. Now think of this. Keep that scripture up. That girl with her 666 tattoo and occultic tattoos on her body led more people to Christ that week than many people in that church. Do you know why? She has never had the chance to have a seminarian seed unbelief into her. No one told her those parts of the Bible don't work now.
Assistant or Co-Host
She just believed what she heard from me, from the Bible and decided to
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
tell people Jesus changed my life and
Assistant or Co-Host
he'll change your life too. Not I'm uncomfortable with supernatural activity.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Not I don't believe in miracles.
Assistant or Co-Host
What God did for me from the Bible he'll do for you. So all it takes to mess someone's faith up is some moron telling you it doesn't work today. But all it takes to light you on fire is somebody to come and tell you with force. The same God of the Bible is with you today and is anointing you to set your generation free. Not by might, not by power, but by the spirit of Almighty God. I tell you the truth.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Anyone who believes in me will do the same. Works. What kind of works? So when you read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, you read all that Jesus is doing. It's unscriptural to say, well that was Jesus. Because Jesus said I'm not doing these just to help people. I'm setting an example of what's to
Assistant or Co-Host
be the normal part of a believer's life. Can you say Amen? I tell you the truth.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Anybody who believes in me will do the same works I have done. And even what kind of works? Because I'm going to be with the Father. So when that guy wrote to me, yeah, Jonathan, but those verses you wrote that Jesus rebuked the fever out of Peter's mother in law. But that was Jesus. You can't.
Assistant or Co-Host
That's incorrect theology.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Because Jesus a he said I only do what I see my Father do. And I only say what I see my Father say. He wasn't some anomaly. He was showing us how to act
Assistant or Co-Host
like God on the earth. 13. You can ask for anything in my name.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
What can you ask for?
Assistant or Co-Host
And I will do it.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Not I might do it. I will do it so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Keep going.
Assistant or Co-Host
Yes. Ask for anything in my name.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I will do it.
Assistant or Co-Host
I would, I would tone it down
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
a lot if it said I can do it or I might do it. But he said, I'm leaving the earth. You know, you can only pack so much into one night. Ephesians 1. He is the head, we are the body. So he said, I'm leaving so that
Assistant or Co-Host
instead of there being one of my
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
bodies on the earth, everyone that's in Christ will be a member of my body.
Assistant or Co-Host
And instead of there being one person that can lay hands on people, I'll have a hundred million in, in America, 800 million worldwide, that are full of
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
the spirit, that cast out devils and heal the sick.
Assistant or Co-Host
Think of how different Washington will be after tonight. That there's now hundreds of people that don't just go to church, don't just read their Bible, but they realize I'm here for such a time as this, and anywhere the sole of my foot shall tread, I'm on land that God's given to me. I'm here to heal the sick, cast out devils and raise the dead. I tell you in advance, congratulations on making impact for the kingdom of God and giving the devil the worst year that he's ever had.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Let me see my tweet again. Rebuke. We're never told to rebuke our disease. He rebuked the fever, literally. Then he called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. Keep going. We're never commanded to cast out our problems. Believers were explicitly commanded to cast things out. Mark 16:17. These signs will follow them that believe my name. They will cast out devils. They will speak with new tongues. Now, I'm that that girl that was in Maine. I thought I was going to have to cast the devil out of her.
Assistant or Co-Host
I grabbed her by the hands at
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
the altar and when I did, her face. I'm not trying to get spooky on you, but I've cast a few devils out. People get hard eyes and a hard face, then usually they'll yell, her face scrunched up, she gripped my hands real tight. And then you could just feel the thing leave. And that's when she breathed and smiled and went under the power and just
Assistant or Co-Host
laughed and laughed and became an on
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
fire evangelist for Jesus. Because the problems in life are real.
Assistant or Co-Host
But Jesus gave you authority to tell those problems to hit the road. And they have to obey your command. If you believe that, can you shout a loud Amen?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Matthew 17:20. For verily I say unto you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed. You can say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place. That means get out of here. And it shall remove. And how many things will be impossible for you? If you'd have told Pastor Russell when he was in that barn at their first church, Snohomish.
Assistant or Co-Host
That the day will come where you'll
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
have three big churches in Seattle and then another one five hours away. And you'll preach in all of them on Sunday. When he couldn't even afford a generator, had to borrow electricity and went. By borrow, we mean steel from the neighbor's house. He'd have told you that's impossible. But you start realizing as you go with God, God starts increasing your capacity. Where you start with God is never where you finish.
Assistant or Co-Host
If we could go back in time
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
together and sit by that lady with the 666 tattoos.
Assistant or Co-Host
The first service she came to on Monday night.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I bet she just said, I don't
Assistant or Co-Host
even think I'm going to go down
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
there and get prayer. I'm in the occult. I don't believe in this stuff. She would have never believed that. By Friday, she'd have brought six people down to the altar.
Assistant or Co-Host
And they all would have got filled
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
with the Holy Ghost. Because with God, where you start is
Assistant or Co-Host
never where you finish. If you'll stay with him, he'll keep growing you and building you and increasing you. It's not you trying. It's him pouring his anointing out on you to do great and mighty things for God. I prophesy in the name of Jesus, nobody in here will die small. God is going to connect you to his power source tonight. And you're going to change your generation for God. Now, I would like to tell that
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Dston guy you feel we're not supposed to speak to our problems and tell them to leave. Then you would have to interpret Matthew 17:20 that Jesus wanted us to tell. What's the closest mountain here? Big mountain. Spokane Mountain. No, I believe you. You look honest. Spokane what? Spokane Mountain. So I would say then, Dustin, you believe that Jesus put this verse so we could move Spokane Mountain to Northern California or to Indiana. Spokane Mountain in Jesus name. Indiana is so flat, they need a mountain. We have too many mountains here.
Assistant or Co-Host
I command you to go to Indiana. And the mountain uproot and go there.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Is that what you think? That because this verse is there. So if it was physical, then Jesus wanted us rearranging landscape for no reason. But when Jesus spoke about mountains, he
Assistant or Co-Host
was talking about Things that in the natural cannot be moved. Long standing.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
It was a long standing, long standing and large problems.
Assistant or Co-Host
There would be very few people in
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
this crowd that if I said, what long standing, large problem do you have in your family? Some places nobody's ever gotten out of debt. Some places nobody's been able to keep a marriage together. The devil has set up shop in
Assistant or Co-Host
an area of life.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Everyone's been sick.
Assistant or Co-Host
When one person gets cared, another person
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
has to go to the hospital. Jesus said, you don't have to put up with those mountains anymore.
Assistant or Co-Host
You don't have to climb those mountains anymore.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You don't have to go around those mountains.
Assistant or Co-Host
You don't have to. You can speak to that mountain. You can speak to cancer, you can speak to poverty, you can speak to sin, you can speak to alcoholism, you can speak to addiction. And say in the name of Jesus, you come out today and that mountain will obey your command. I see every mountain that set up shop in your life coming out today
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
in Jesus name
Assistant or Co-Host
number three.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Speaking to our trials. Jesus specifically taught, speaking to situations. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say, everybody say, say to this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea. And shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass. He shall have whatsoever he saith. We're never told to speak into our trials. Faith is expressed by speaking. What's the next scripture? Claim our success. We're never told to claim our success. Scripture repeatedly teaches confession and expectation of victory.
Assistant or Co-Host
2nd Corinthians 4:13.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Powerful scripture. We have the same spirit of faith the psalmist has where it is written,
Assistant or Co-Host
I believe, therefore I have spoken. We also believe, and therefore we speak. Joshua 1:8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night. For then thou shalt make thy way
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
prosperous and you shall have good success.
Assistant or Co-Host
Say with me, this book of the
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
law shall not depart from your mouth, but you'll meditate.
Assistant or Co-Host
That means you think on it day and night.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
But you don't just keep it in your mind or in your heart. You speak it. Now, there's a. There's, you know, YouTube and stuff. They, they think they figure you out by algorithm. So because they know I'm a preacher by now, they think I just like all preachers. So they'll pop up. Preachers, people speaking live on YouTube, which is fine. I was driving to church with Abraham, that's with me, and they popped up a Pastor who was getting ready to preach. And I thought, well, I'll listen to him preach while I'm on my way to preach. It'll get me thinking about the Word. So they introduce him and they said, this guy is a church planter. And they have him come up. Everybody clapped. And he said, as they said, I'm a church planter. He said, when you're a church planter, that means you start a new church.
Assistant or Co-Host
You find out four things.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You don't have much money. Not many people come. You don't have your own building, and
Assistant or Co-Host
you don't have any help.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I thought, man, while you're at it, why don't you just tie a noose and kill yourself? Say something with me.
Assistant or Co-Host
Say, death and life is in the power of the tongue. Do you want to know why that
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
guy doesn't have many people come to hear him? Doesn't have any real estate, doesn't have
Assistant or Co-Host
any help, and doesn't have much money
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
because he got what he said.
Assistant or Co-Host
You know what I never heard Pastor
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Russell say when he called me on the phone? I'm going to take him to church in Spokane.
Assistant or Co-Host
They don't have much.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Many people, they don't have any money. It's going to be hard. He said, the Lord is starting to transfer a building in Spokane to us. I believe that God's going to bless that place.
Assistant or Co-Host
I believe we're going to pack it out on day one. You know what he decided to do? Rather than speak about how hard things are, he started speaking about how God's going to help him, how God's going to make every crooked way straight, how no weapon formed against him will prosper. You'll be amazed what will happen in your life when you stop speaking about what's against you and start claiming the promises of God that are yes and amen. Don't just believe them in your heart. Speak them with your mouth and they'll manifest. Go ahead, take 60 seconds and clap your hands. Feels good in here on Monday night. Hallelujah.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
What's the last one? Demand God to do something. Scripture actually invites bold requests. They shortened that one on my tweet. Let me see Isaiah 45, 11 in the King James out obscure scripture. They don't tell you this one much. It's too strong for people. Thus saith who? The Holy One of Israel and his Maker Ask me of things to come. Which I was going to skip that. Everybody say, ask God about things to come. God knows the future better than we know the past. And you can actually ask him instead of stumbling around learning by trial and error. Anybody ever heard, especially if you're a young person, have you ever heard an adult say, experience is the best teacher? Okay, well, if that was true, then a driving instructor would just tell you, go 60 miles an hour and slam your car into that telephone pole. Then we do it, say, no, don't do that again. Experience, I would say, is the worst teacher. The best teacher is, is God's word and God's spirit. There's no lesson God has for you to learn that you have to go outside of this book to learn. Can you say amen? You don't have to learn by trial and error. You don't have to have four divorces to learn how to have a good marriage. You can actually do everything right from the start because the Holy Spirit will lead you. I said the Holy Spirit will lead you.
Assistant or Co-Host
From today, you're going to enjoy being
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
led by the Spirit of God.
Assistant or Co-Host
And the Holy Spirit never leads you backwards.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
He never leads you sideways into a ditch.
Assistant or Co-Host
He never let anybody in the Bible into decrease. The Holy Spirit moves you forward and takes you easily where you could never
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
go at all in your own strength.
Assistant or Co-Host
Lift your hands all over this place. One of the blessings you're going to
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
get on this Monday night from being in God's house.
Assistant or Co-Host
You're going to enjoy God's leading and he's going to take you to an
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
amazing place in 2026 if you believe that.
Assistant or Co-Host
Can you shout amen like thunder?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Ask me of things to come and concerning the work of my hands. Command ye me. Tell me where you want me to put my power. God's not up in heaven and you're some bother to him. Excuse me. There's a lot going on in Iran right now. Can you just chill for a few months till I get things sorted out? God's not worried about anything. God knew everything that was going to happen before it happened. And he said, it actually pleases me
Assistant or Co-Host
when you tell me what to do
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
with my hands according to my word. You know I didn't.
Assistant or Co-Host
Who.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Who made that lady's blood start rushing inside her body again? Wasn't me.
Assistant or Co-Host
I don't know how to do that.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
All I did was touch your hand and said, be healed.
Assistant or Co-Host
You're commanding God's hand according to the
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
things that he already said in his word that he wants to do. Can you say amen? Can you say a better amen? Who would write such a stupid tweet that never we commanded. Let me see it again. Never we commanded to Tell God what to do.
Assistant or Co-Host
You're not commanding him like you're in charge of it, but he actually put
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
his power in your hand.
Assistant or Co-Host
He told Moses, I'm giving you a
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
rod and I'll make you as God to Moses, take this rod and with it do signs part the Red Sea.
Assistant or Co-Host
Throw it down and have it swallow
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
up the other snakes. God hasn't held his power and you're
Assistant or Co-Host
bothering him to ask for it. He gave the power that's in his hand and put it in your hand that you can do a mighty work for God. And I tell you a fourth time tonight I see you doing a mighty work to for God with your life. The devil will ru the day he didn't kill you when he had the chance. Today God is anointing you with power to set your generation free.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Let me see. Isaiah 45:11 on the tweet. Come, command ye me concerning the work of my hands. Hebrews 4:16. Let us therefore come boldly under the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace in the time of need. How did he say to come before him? Beggarly, like a beggar. What'd you say? Boldly come like like. Talk like her. You get your prayers answered quickly. Everybody say boldly. That's how God said to come.
Assistant or Co-Host
He doesn't like timidity.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
He's not timid. He created us in his image. He said, if you're gonna come into my presence, ask me for something big and ask in a bold way.
Assistant or Co-Host
That's what we're gonna do right now. Everything that you thought could never happen,
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
every diagnosis and prognosis that's been made
Assistant or Co-Host
over your life, you're gonna find out that God doesn't upbraid people.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
When they come to Him. He's happy to answer them, to deliver
Assistant or Co-Host
them from all their trouble. I'm going to give you one more
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
scripture before we pray. Put James, chapter 1, verse 5 up. James, chapter 1, verse 5. KJV. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to
Assistant or Co-Host
all men liberally and upbraideth not.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Do you know what upbraideth not means? Because I didn't.
Assistant or Co-Host
It means God won't do to you what the author of that tweet did.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You're not to command him.
Assistant or Co-Host
Who do you think you are?
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Whoever came to Jesus to be healed, and Jesus said, get away from me. All you people ever asked for is healing. They came one after another till the whole village came.
Assistant or Co-Host
Then they brought their children and he
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
laid his hands on Them and blessed them.
Assistant or Co-Host
God will never be upset when you come to him. He enjoys that you come to him.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Can you say Amen?
Assistant or Co-Host
He'll not only give you what you asked for, he'll give it liberally.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And he won't rebuke you for asking.
Assistant or Co-Host
And it shall be given to him.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
What else? Six. Here's a caveat. But let him ask in faith, never wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea. So look before they switch it, let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, never wavering. Now, if you had that guy sitting on the stool in the T shirt that's two sizes too small and he was your pastor, you would never be able to ask in faith, never wavering, because that guy would have put a lot of doubt. I don't believe that God intervenes supernaturally. I don't think you can do that. So when you went to pray, part of you would have faith, but part of you would hear that guy talking in your head.
Assistant or Co-Host
If you followed that guy on Twitter,
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
you could never ask in faith, nothing doubting. Well, he said we're not supposed to ask command him anything and that God never told us to rebuke our problems. So you won't get anything. But if you hang around the right people. Everybody say, hang around the right people. My daughter goes to Christian school and I went to pick her up. And when I picked her up, she said, hey Pa, my teacher said today God doesn't heal people anymore. I said, what did you say? She said, I just laughed. I think she doesn't hang around the right people. I like that. You can't trouble my daughter.
Assistant or Co-Host
She's got too much faith.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
She's been in too many meetings. And she was right. She had compassion for her. I think she just.
Assistant or Co-Host
But it's kind of funny to hear
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
a 12 year old say that a 45 year old doesn't hang around the right people. She could tell that whoever's influencing that lady is not influencing her. To faith and miracles. Basically what my daughter was saying is if she would hang around where I hung around, my daughter's in those meetings. My daughter sees those people get healed.
Assistant or Co-Host
You can't get her to doubt it. That's the value of this week. The devil may have surrounded you with bozos that doubt the word of God and talk up the devil and talk down God. But after today, you're in the company of the people of faith. Something's wrong rubbing off on you right now. The overcoming spirit, the more than a conqueror spirit, the Spirit of faith. And now you're surrounded with a room full of champions. You're going to finish your race, you're going to win the prize. You're going to do everything that God's called you to do. The plan of the devil has failed. Sit on your feet everybody.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Every hand lifted once you stand up. I thank you Jesus for this week that we have in the beautiful state of Washington with your holy people who have gathered here, those that are being brought in. I thank you Lord for touching people today. I thank you for healing people today.

Things that are lingering physical and mental
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
results of trauma and hardship and near death experiences.
Assistant or Co-Host
I thank you that you not only heal people, you restore everything the devil took. Let everybody come out of this meeting stronger than they were before the attack. Stronger than they were before the attack. In Jesus mighty name, with your hands lifted. I thank you Lord for turning whole families around even right now.

Assistant or Co-Host
If you're here tonight and you've never
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.
Assistant or Co-Host
I'm gonna pray like I did that
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
night for that Satanist girl that came, who received Christ. Thank God for all the great stories of last week and and the past. But it's not enough till you're ready and right with God. We want all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. I want everybody who's here tonight to ask yourself a question. Are you sure you're ready to meet the Lord? Are you living a life that's a hundred percent right with God or do you need to make things right today when I pray?
Assistant or Co-Host
I would love to include you in that prayer.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Prayer and you make Monday night for you. St. Patrick's Day will have a different meaning for the rest of your life.
Assistant or Co-Host
That's the day I got right with God. That's the day my old life died
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
and a new life was born on the inside of me. By the Holy Ghost.
Assistant or Co-Host
If you say Jonathan, when you pray tonight, I want you to pray with me.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I want to receive Jesus Christ.
Assistant or Co-Host
If you fell away from God, I want to come back to the Lord.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Maybe a tragedy took place and the devil used that tragedy to drive a
Assistant or Co-Host
wedge between you and God. But tonight you realize God brought me
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
here to bring me back to him.
Assistant or Co-Host
There's nothing you've done that's too great for God to forgive. I would love the privilege to pray with you tonight.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
If you say Jonathan.
Assistant or Co-Host
Yes. When you pray, include me in that prayer. Please put your hand up high and
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
wave it at me and I'll pray
Assistant or Co-Host
with you right now.
Podcast Host
Wow.
Assistant or Co-Host
That's awesome.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I want you to do something. The Bible says in John 1:12, if you confess me, if you confess me before men, I'll confess you before my Father in heaven. John 1:12, as many as received him. To them he gave power to become the sons and daughters of God.
Assistant or Co-Host
I want you to do it the Bible way.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
The Bible says if you'll come out from the crowd and be separate, if you'll confess me publicly, there's something powerful about it because it's the exact thing
Assistant or Co-Host
you're gonna have to do your whole
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
life is not care what the crowd's
Assistant or Co-Host
doing and do the thing you know,
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
in your spirit, you need to do.
Assistant or Co-Host
Those of you with more courage, I
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
want you to come first.
Assistant or Co-Host
It'll help those that are more timid. But everyone that lifted a hand in that business with God, join me at the altar.
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And we're going to pray right now in Jesus name.

Come. I'm gonna pray with you right up here. Keep coming. Keep clapping.

I'm going to give you the words
Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
to say, but say these words after me as your own, as your own prayer to God. Even as you're praying this, God is going to do a work on the inside of you. Take out your old heart and give you a new heart. Say this nice and loud. Heavenly Father, I've come forward today to

Podcast: Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Host: Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Date: April 24, 2026
Episode Theme:
How believers can live above life’s most persistent struggles—addiction, depression, disease, lack, tragedy, failure, and defeat—through the supernatural power and promises of Jesus Christ.
In this energetic and faith-filled episode, Evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth urges listeners to rise above life’s most common and crushing challenges. Drawing deeply from scripture, personal testimony, and current ministry experiences, Jonathan emphasizes that believers are called not merely to cope with or escape their problems but to truly live above them—through supernatural empowerment, boldness, and the practical application of God’s promises. He contrasts genuine, powerful Christianity with a powerless, purely ethical religion and testifies that Jesus offers not just a moral code, but transforming, miracle-working power to set people free.

| 63:05 | Prayer: Impartation to “infect” listeners with faith
| 66:40 | Call to Salvation and Altar Invitation
The episode is high-energy, passionate, and confrontational against doubt and religious apathy. Jonathan utilizes vivid stories, scriptural exegesis, humor, and authoritative exhortations. The language is accessible yet uncompromising, with a strong sense of expectancy for miracles and transformation—both for individuals and entire regions.
Jonathan ends with a fervent altar call, inviting listeners to make a decision for Christ, as well as a powerful prayer that the strongholds of addiction, depression, sickness, and generational curse be utterly broken—not just managed, but permanently defeated—by the power of God at work in and through believers.
This episode is a clarion call to reject powerless, comfort-driven Christianity in exchange for a dynamic, supernatural faith that changes lives, families, and regions. For those seeking hope above despair, and victory over every work of the enemy, Jonathan Shuttlesworth’s message is crystal clear: God’s power, available today, is the difference-maker—embrace it boldly, live above the ordinary, and carry it to your generation.
