If you have your Bible open to Acts chapter 8, Acts the 8th chapter. I was going to start further down in the chapter, but I want to read more. Go to Acts 8. 4. But the believers who were Acts, chapter 8, verse 4. But the believers who were scattered preached the gospel of Jesus Christ wherever they went. Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto them. Crowds listened intently to Philip because of his message and to see the miracles that he did. Many evil spirits were cast out screaming as they left their victims. And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed. So there was great joy in the city. Then it talks about the dethroning of Simon. Then Peter and John come to lay hands on him to receive the Holy Ghost. They rebuke Simon for trying to buy that power. And it says in verse 25, after testifying and preaching the word of the Lord in Samaria, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem and they stopped in many Samaritan villages along the way to preach the gospel. How many full time ministers or staff pastors or Bible college students are here? Let me see your hands up. Yeah, good amount. So we've been focusing on this all week, that the pattern of preaching on Sunday morning and waiting till next Sunday or Sunday and Wednesday is not in Scripture. They preach. They preached in on Sunday, the Lord's day, and then they were out. They went out to lay hands on those people stopped in villages on the way back. Preachers are to preach. There's a scripture that says, the sower sows the word. Say that with me. The sower sows the word. So your job as a minister, obviously everybody is to take a day off the land is to take a year of rest so the soil can replenish. But the six days that are given to work are to be given to preach. Now, you can't wear your church people out having services six times a week. But the pastors that have the largest churches in the world preach in that church and then head out for the week to do a crusade in the Philippines or wherever. You would think that it would be hard to preach every day, but it's actually much easier to preach every day than to preach, get out of the flow and try to pop back in for Sunday. Staying in constant motion does something. So you see that pattern here. Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch. As for Philip, an angel of the Lord said to him, go south down the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza. Everybody say divine direction. So Philip then heard where he was supposed to go. Then he's going to find out why he went there. So he started out and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake, the queen of Ethiopia. Now, I've been to Ethiopia last year. I think it was last year or the year before, might have been the end of 2024. Ethiopia was one of the only places in North Africa where Islam didn't set in. It's a Christian stronghold. Because of this encounter, this guy took Christianity back. And so I want you to see this. Also from the Bible. You don't always know why God is sending you somewhere. All he told them was, go on the road. Then when he went, it became clear why he was going. If you make God tell you everything ahead of time, then you're never going to listen. You just learn to take the step that he tells you to take. And then it becomes clear. Can you say amen? So he started out and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kendake, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and he was now returning, seated in the carriage, and he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, go over and walk along. Beside the carriage. Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, do you understand what you're reading? The man replied, how can I unless someone instructs me? And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him. I want everybody to say this nice and loud. God desires partnership with people. So if you're the thing I'm going to preach on tonight, which I haven't told you my title yet, but the thing I'm going to preach on, you have to lose this religious devaluing of. It looks like everybody's safe here. I don't see any jihadists in the crowd. You have to lose this religious devaluing of people. My father and I were talking about this, that for decades, you know, how many know whether we preach or not, God's going to move? How many know. You don't have to listen to me tonight when I sing, just listen to the words. Well, seeing as the words are coming out of your mouth, it kind of necessitates that I have to listen to you sing. So the devil wants you to think that you don't matter. How many know God's going to do whatever he's going to do. In this nation, with or without us. That's not true. As Ezekiel 22:36, the Bible says, I sought for a man to rebuild the wall of righteousness so I wouldn't have to go in and destroy the city. But I didn't find anybody. You sowing seed as a preacher and praying for people as a preacher, it makes an impact. And lack of doing that makes a negative impact. Again, we have a lot of people here from Canada, most of whom are my friends. This is not to bash Canada, but what's the difference between the major problems spiritually that are taking place in Canada and this revival that's flipping everything in America? How do you have two nations this close and one is closing down all the abortion centers? Planned Parenthood. I started following Planned Parenthood on Twitter just to laugh, because every tweet is, we need help. We don't have any money. I wrote to him, have a bake sale. Amen. They're closing down 40 some centers were closed down in 12 months. All the ones in California were closed. The largest one in Houston was closed. They're struggling. The churches are growing. The mosque can't get set up in America. The churches are exploding. The largest gathering in Aroostook county on this Friday night is not some snowmobile hall or ski trip. It's people lifting up Jesus Christ and hearing the word of God. We. We're in a revival. Can you say amen? Why did God sovereignly choose to bless America and then just remain neutral about Canada? No. Where's the Canadian John Wesley? Where's the Canadian ministers from the 1800s that decided not to start one church but get on a horse and start 800 churches? Where's Canadian Charles Finney? Where's the Canadian preachers that stayed at a place? There's. There's Charles Price out west, which is why Alberta feels different than the rest of the country. You know how I found that out? I went to go preach in Saskatchewan, and I used to come into Canada through Toronto, driving. When I was coming into Toronto to preach and they asked me what I was doing, you'd have thought I told them my plan. I'm coming here to blow up Canada. They'd say, why are you coming? What do you do for a living? I'd say, I'm a preacher. They'd say, what are you coming here to do? I said, preaching. Why do you have to preach to Canadians? I like that lady with the same haircut as Joe Montana. Why do you have to preach to Canadians? I said, because Canadians are people. And God loves them. They made me step out of my car, they dismantled the seats, they looked through every page of my Bible, all the pages of my books. Then I went to Saskatchewan and I was ready for the same thing. Flew in, went through customs. What are you here to do or what do you do for a living? I said, I'm a preacher. What are you coming here to do? I said, I'm holding a revival meeting. They said, here in. What's the city in Saskatchewan? Saskatoon. Here in Saskatoon? I said, yes. The guy went, that's great. Hope you have good meetings, Reverend, but am I in Texas or Saskatchewan? So when I got to my hotel, I looked up, I googled great revivals in Saskatoon. I heard about a man named Charles Price that rented the ice arena and preached on healing. And so many people came to hear him preach that once the arena filled up, they started busting out the windows. Canadians, they can get violent if they're pushed. Started busting out the windows to crawl in through the windows, to over pack it and. And the police had to get involved to help sort out the crowds that were coming. You could feel it there. As I travel. Texas feels different than California. I'm going to Washington State tonight. I had to hire a tactical team because Antifa's been there protesting the meetings. If they throw something tomorrow or next week, it's not going to be good. I hired a group out of Las Vegas that likes to rumble. It goes on their insurance. I won't have to go to court. I don't have to do that when I go to Fort Worth. So why did you know Fort Worth that has so many great churches now? Used to be called Hell's Half Acre. They said somebody was shot to death there. Every day preachers came and preached and kept schedules where they got the word out. I watched my father do that. My dad pounded the road. Not so we could get a bigger house. We didn't even get a house. Not so we could do any of that. There should be a desire in the born again Christian that since I've gotten saved and now filled with God's fire, I'm going to do the one thing to pay Jesus back that he asked for. He wants the rest of the people to hear that he's alive and he lives forevermore. This Friday night, there's an anointing of acceleration coming on every person. And a new generation of Canadian pastors and evangelists are going to go back over the border and shake Canada with the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you know that's why you're here today. Clap your hands and shout unto God one more time. Hallelujah. 22:30. I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall. I couldn't find anybody. That's why that moron in Canada that was saying, it's not important whether Bill C9 passes or not. Jesus is still on the throne in Canada no matter what. No, he's not. Jesus is on the throne in Yemen. Jesus is on the throne in Somalia. Ask the Christians there how it's going. There aren't any left because they're all dead. Jesus is on the throne in the Soviet Union. We have to understand that Christ is the head, but we are the body. And if we fail to act in our nation, the nation goes into destruction. But if we rise up in the power of God, in one year, we can throw the devil straight out of Aroostook county, straight out of Maine, straight out of New England. New England doesn't belong to the devil. New England belongs to the children of God. Can you say amen? Acts, chapter 8. Wherever I left off. So an angel didn't tell him how to get saved. The Holy Spirit didn't tell him how to get saved. Philip had to go up and explain the word of God to him. That's how it works, even in Acts chapter 10. How is there a fly in here? It's 20 degrees. Even in Acts, chapter 10. Think of this. When an angel came to Cornelius, the angel said, go and get men and have them go to Joppa. Go get Peter and have him come here and preach to you. No cars, no Uber, no helicopter, no plane. That sounds like a lot of trouble. You know, you'd say, Mr. Angel, since you're here, why don't you tell me? But angels can't preach the gospel. Angels can direct people to people who can preach the gospel. So when you start seeing that what you do matters, I'm going to take it a step further. You know where I pastor. I've tried to get all the pastors together to pray. They're not interested. I'm trying to get. I think I might be the only one praying. Even if you are, you don't need to outnumber the devil's people. One person carrying the Holy Ghost and the word of God carries greater power than all principalities and powers of the devil. In that area, not only do you matter, God has entrusted you and equipped you to take the devil out. That wherever the sole of your Foot shall tread. You're on land that God's given you. I see you leaving this Friday meeting and giving the devil the worst 10 months that he's ever had. In Jesus name, if you believe it, can you shout Amen like thunder? My old Scripture. 32 the passage of Scripture he had been reading was he was led like a sheep to the slaughter. And as the lamb is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. He was humiliated and received no justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth. The eunuch asked Philip, tell me was the prophet talking about himself or someone else? So beginning with this same scripture, Philip told him the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As they rode along they came to some water. And the eunuch said, look, there's some water. What's preventing me from being baptized? 37. You skip 37. That scripture is inspired. What? There's no 37 Philip said, if thou believest with all thine heart thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they went down both into the water. Everybody say baptize. However, Philip preached the gospel. It made the guy think, I need to get baptized right now. And Philip didn't tell him what's preventing me from being baptized. I'll tell you what. You haven't scanned our QR Code and joined our four week course on baptism. When God's dealing with somebody, don't make them wait. Flow with the Holy Ghost. Right? Then remove all barriers and slowing down that we've been accustomed to doing. He ordered the carriage to stop. They went down into the water and Philip baptized them. 39 when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way, rejoicing. Now I'm going to say some stuff that might be a little strong and if you don't like it, you don't have to come back because I'm not coming back either. If you could have talked to that Ethiopian eunuch, he wouldn't have been sure whether he had an encounter with a man or a spirit or an angel. Imagine somebody baptizing you, pulling you up out of the water, and he just gets snatched away. What just happened to me? I don't know if this was a vision or what. The Bible is clear that in the last days there'll be an increase of demonic activity. And you're seeing it now. But where wickedness abounds there the grace and power of God that much more abounds. So as there's an increase in demonic activity for the children of darkness, there will be an increase of angelic help and angelic assistance for the child of God. My mom and dad are in the front row. We used to live in a town called Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. My mom set me up to change for bed. I was 8ish. 8 or 9. 8. Bent over to pick my pajamas up, looked up, and there was an angel on the other side of the bed. Only one I've seen before then or since. And I know some people. There was a lady on Christian tv. She said, I go to heaven at least nine times a day. And I was watching it with my dad, he said, and they keep shipping her back marked wrong address. So if you doubt this stuff, I don't blame you. But I'm telling you what happened. I feel like my life has since bearded out. I looked up and the angel said, jonathan, God has reserved you for this last period of time to be an evangelist, to call men and women that are now in darkness into the light. For soon it will be eternally too late. Do you understand? And I said yes, with a speech impediment. I had eight sounds in the Alphabet that I couldn't say correctly. I had to miss recess twice a week. And when that angel left, something changed on the inside of me. In fact, you could ask my mom. I never made a plan to do it. I led all my friends in the neighborhood to the Lord in about, I don't know, another couple months. Started bringing them to church. Just talking to people about God. It was like going into that veil made me understand there's another realm that matters a lot more than this one. And that's why I'm not trying to sound like Mr. Tough Guy, but that's why when Dr. Fauci said we can't preach anymore, I not only didn't cancel any meetings, I booked an extra meeting for the last week of March 2020. Just as kind of my middle finger to Dr. Fauci, if you will, because I don't take my orders from him or the cdc. They can pass any laws they want me. And that angel made an agreement that day. When he said, do you understand? I said yes. I knew exactly the agreement I was making. If we could zap my wife here, she would tell you on date number two might have been date number one. I told her what I was going to be doing. You're not going to have a normal life. My first commitment before I made a covenant to marry you. I made a covenant to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and go all in. That angelic encounter did something to me. There's something that God gave the church. They're called angels. Lester Sumrall wrote a book called Angels to help us understanding the ministry of angels. All you hear now is people focused on demons, generational curses, etc. But I want to echo something to you tonight. When Elisha was surrounded by the military, his helper was freaking out and he said, lord, open his eyes and let him see what I see. When he did, he said, alas, master, there are more with us than there are with them. For he saw the hillside was surrounded with chariots of fire and the angels of the Lord. There are real demons. There is a real attack from hell. But there are more with the children of God in Aroostook county than all of hell put together. You're not going under, you're going over. In Jesus name, can you say amen? So in the last days, there's going to be something called, let me see, Ephesians 5, 15, 17. So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise, make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Do King James 15, 16, 17. See then that you walk circumspectly, not like fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time because the days are evil. Anyone can notice that the days are evil, but the Bible tells you when you see evil days, what you're supposed to do, you're supposed to access a supernatural anointing from God that causes you to do in one day what in the. In normal. It'd be like you squeeze a week into every day. Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the Past, the. The overseer of the Redeemed Christian church of God. 19,000 churches in 190 nations. He said, At 80 years old, what does redeeming the time mean? He said, it means packing twice as much into every day as every day is meant to hold notice. Philip just held a citywide revival. God didn't say, all right, go take a sabbatical. He said, go to this street. Lead this guy on. And then as he obeyed it, God sent ministering angels to get him quickly to the next town and keep going. There's a ministry of divine speed. There's a covenant of divine speed. I like going to Las Vegas, which, if you're in the ministry, is not a sentence you want to say in a microphone. But I don't go to gamble. I go to eat. And I'll tell you what else I go to do. I go to watch the biggest buildings on the planet get erected in a year, year and a half, two years, and put up like this marvels. No bake sales, no car washes, none of that. And you watch heathen people under a curse build huge things while the church takes offerings for 30 years to build a church, that's 8,000 square feet, 15,000 square feet. How can that be? I'll tell you how. If no one tells you that that's wrong, then you just accept what you've always seen. But the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. And the thing, the entity on planet Earth that's going to be doing the greatest exploits is not casinos, not NFL teams, not college teams, not universities. God is putting an anointing on his church to do exploits with speed. In Jesus name. That anointing is dropping on you today. You're going to do great things. You're going to do more in the next 10 months than you did in the last 10 years. Not by might, not by power, but by the spirit of Almighty God. If you receive it, clap your hands and give the Lord a mighty shout again. Read that verse for me if you would. So, as you see, the days are evil. It should motivate you to move. Yeah, and I'm going to be the last person that tells you that for a long time. People come up to me routinely. You need to make sure to rest. No, I don't. I'm 45, not 95. These are working years, ask any business person. 45 is not a time to chill. 45 is a time to build. I never thought the day would come, so I can't take any credit for it. Where the Department of Justice would flip from keeping watch lists on Christians that are going to church to having a wing devoted under Hermy Dylan to make sure that permits and zoning can never be used to stop a church from buying land or building buildings. And if they try to stop you, you don't even have to get a lawyer. The Department of Justice goes after them. We are living in a window that God has opened up that 10 years ago, no one thought would ever come again. Transgenderism has become a thing of the past. You can't even find a hospital in America that'll do it anymore. Everything the devil built collapsing. We need to run. We need to get anointed and run. We need to let the hand of God come upon us and in this window, punch the devil the hardest he's ever been hit. Kick him in the head. The hardest he's ever been kicked. If you believe it. Can you shout amen, Redeeming the time because the days are evil. 17. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. So God's will is for you to move. There's a covenant that we have. That's a covenant of action. Let me see. Romans 12, 11. Not slothful. All right. I don't know what I did to that tv. It's in power save mode. Not slothful in business. Fervent in spirit. All right. Serving the Lord must be a union. Television. It quit promptly at 8. It quit for real now. It's offended. I'm gonna have to apologize to a TV after the service. Say. Say it with me. Say, fervent in spirit. Now let me ask. Let me. Let me show you something. And to all the ministers that are here, this is not an insult. I don't even know what your pattern of behavior is. I know Pastor Matt a little bit. And Pastor Matt is an example of what I'm talking about, not the antithesis of what I'm talking about. To have a goal to put a church in every county in Maine. That's the Holy Ghost. You can always tell when you hear stuff like that, that's God. That's God saying it. You know, he doesn't need more churches in the natural. That's a risk, not a logical thing. Charleston Church is not a small church. It's the top full gospel church in the state of Maine. So if he was normal, he would join some type of golf club around there, you know, take he nowadays, he could take a four month sabbatical a year. Nobody would say anything. But instead he decided to put both feet on the accelerator, take the capital that's in the bank, and instead of store it, begin to push it into all the counties of Maine. That type of operation is going to become normal in this last hour of time. By this last hour of time, I mean from tonight, God's going to begin to speak to people here. You thought you were doing a lot, but God's going to increase your capacity so that you can do even more. And I have good news. You're going to do the most you've ever done and feel it the least you've ever felt it. Because you don't do it by your power. It's God's grace working through you. I tell you with a smile on my face, get ready for the best 10 months that you've ever had in your life. In Jesus name. The devil will be sorry he didn't take you out when he had the chance. Can you say amen out of curiosity? How does that say that in the nlt, by the way? Sorry, What's the. What's the first part before the comma? Never be lazy. We have been taught laziness. No one's done a seven week series on laziness. But we've been taught. We see a pattern in the Bible. Plant churches, go. John Wesley started 800 churches on a horse. Paul started churches all over the known world. If he had a car, we'd be done everywhere he went. Church. And somehow they taught us. I mean, most of us, the same building we started going to church in and our parents started going to church in. The church is still in that building. No second church, no third church. Now, let me ask you a question. Who takes the most sabbaticals? The people that are moving and at the Bible pace or the people that preach once a week? Yeah, the Once a week, 35 minute sit on a stool. That's where the people are all getting burnt out and tired. Because the more you move, the more it puts that into action. To he who uses well what he's been given, he'll be given even more and have an abundance. But to he who squanders what he has, even the little he has will be taken away. How many of you are ready to move with God in 2026? How many of you are ready to access something tonight where you do more from March to December than you did the last 10 years? Do you believe God will do that for you today? If you do, put your anointed hands together one more time and do what the Bible says. Clap your hands, all ye people. Shout unto God, But work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. So in other words, if you're not going to do it enthusiastically, then don't do it at all. I'm working hard for the Lord. This is my eighth straight week on the road preaching. You never hear me say stuff like that. Growing up in church, anytime an evangelist started a meeting, I never felt an anointing on. Forgive me, I drove through the night. Who cares? There's people in the military getting shot at right now. Brother Shuttlesworth seems a little tired tonight. First of all, quit referring to yourself in the third person. It's annoying. Then I'll be in Arizona. I'm not gonna go to Arizona in the morning if I seem like I'm dragging folks Been hauling off for the Lord. And Maine, it's a hard road, snowy ground, cold spiritual climate. Quit making yourself a victim. Quit glorifying your sacrifice. You haven't gone to the cross. You haven't taken a whipping on your back. Serve the Lord. It's a good thing to serve the Lord. It's a joy to be called into the service of God. Never be lazy, but work hard. This meeting tonight, Friday night, this is the product of people that are willing to work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Pastor Susie and Pastor Wes aren't like the Texas people at that, at that one church in Houston. So you want us to set up chairs there? That could take all afternoon, huh? Okay. These evangelists, no, it was their idea. And look how God rewarded it. It's over full.320 plus people. The biggest crowd of the night. Because when you make room for God, God fills the room. You're going to make room for God in these 10 months and God is going to fill what you give him. In Jesus name, do you believe it? Can you say a loud Amen? I'm going to play a video before I get back to my points and then pray for everybody. We're going to go out of here. The happiest shouting is people within 500 miles. Can you say amen? They're going to hear us in Sherbrooke, Quebec. They're going to hear a sound come out of this building. That and the devil's going to know he's in for the worst year he's ever had. In Jesus name, can you say amen? So I want to show you this as to glorify God. What's possible when you let God make you move and start going for him. I showed you what the Lord did last year. This was a big year. 2024. Not last year, the year before. This anointing that I'm preaching about. Tonight kicked in. I was doing 21 days of prayer and fasting. And with nine days left to go in the fast, the Lord said go to the west coast because it's like the devil feels like he still can own that place and do a thing called the righteous possess the West Coast. Go to Las Vegas, San Diego, Louisiana. And where is no, Phoenix. Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, Louisiana. And then we went to Lake Tahoe. Five cities. Planned it nine days in advance. I felt the Lord speak to me also. And I won't keep saying this, but I don't know another way to get it across as a middle finger to the devil. Rent a casino, rental well, we go to run a casino on the Strip in Las Vegas. They haven't allowed anyone to do it since 1983. Every casino turned us down. But just like the Lord said a few days before, the Plaza Hotel and Casino on the Strip. The guy called back, like I figured they would. Some money's better than no money. It wasn't religious discrimination. I found out they have an acronym. I can't remember what, what the acronym is, but it's first responders, Military, Law Enforcement, and Faith and Education. They don't rent to those people because they don't just want the casino full of people. They want it full of people that drink and gamble. Which, I mean, I could point you in the direction of some denominations where you'd make your money back for sure, and so they won't rent to them. Well, the guy called, though. There. Nobody had booked the room, the big room at the casino. So he said, all right, you guys can come. So we came. You're gonna see there were less than 200 people gambling on the floor of the casino and over 800 in the Pentecostal meeting. You're gonna see the security guards went out under the power. The owner of the casino came in. You know, they don't care. It's awesome working with sinners. They don't have any doctrine. So it's like, what's this? You know, it's like, hey, this is great. People are falling down. It's like. Like the magicians, but for real, then walk out. As long as you pay, they're cool with it. Then we had everybody say, obey God. I had a guy in a suit and tie come in. I thought he worked for the hotel. And he came in after I finished preaching. He said, how did you get this room? I said, I thought you worked for the hotel. I thought you were. I was coming to say thank you for giving it to me. He said, no, I'm at the Ahearn Luxury Hotel on the Strip. He said, they don't let preachers in here. That's when I found out about the acronym thing. I said, I just called and they let me in. He said, from now on, you won't have to push your way in. Call me and I'll give you the whole hotel and put your revival meeting on the digital display. You know how they have the digital display down the whole side of the hotel? He said, if you want to preach, I'll have you do that. Did you know? He not only kept his word, but after I preached, they played a praise and worship song on their on their hotel Instagram and showed how their hotel is open for preaching the gospel. So now notice now anyone can come and do it. Somebody has to break ground. Someone has to cross lines no one's ever crossed. Somebody has to break barriers. You are going to break barriers in your generation that nobody's ever broken. You're going to cross lines that no one ever crossed. The anointing to do it is coming on you today. In Jesus name somebody shout divine speed. So I want you to look at this and then what's going to happen is by visual impartation it's going to rub off on you. I was telling my parents there's an 80 year old pastor who's my friend Dean Shropshire in New Mexico when he left. What no I have seen last year, no breakthrough in ministry. He flew to Kansas City. He's 80. He pastors in New Mexico. He has a great church. He should retire if he was doing what they tell you to do. He flew to Kansas City and looked at a building to buy it to start a second campus in Kansas City. So I sort of feel a burden for Kansas City. He's not shutting down New Mexico. I don't know what he's going to do, just like I don't know what I'm doing. But he's following the breath of God. God doesn't need us to outnumber the devil's people. He needs to find somebody that's willing to stand in the gap so the devil can't come in and destroy the city. And I'm glad there's not one person like that here tonight. I'm glad there's not three. I'm glad we've got 300 plus that have come here on a Friday night to get anointed with the Holy Ghost and fire and bust the devil's mouth in Jesus name. Watch this for the glory of God. 20:24. The righteous shall possess the land. That's what you're going to see happen in the United States. I'm telling you right now. That fire, that fire puts a change where instead of your life being defined by what the devil's done and and sickness and infirmity and addiction and anger, your life is going to be defined by the power of the Holy Ghost in one night. There is something on the inside of you that the devil doesn't have the capacity to stop. You're coming out of here free. And with the victory tonight in Jesus mighty name.

I didn't come here expecting to get attacked by the devil. I came here expecting that God was gonna bless me, bless my wife, bless this first. Back it up. Can you back it up to the security guards on the floor? Armed. Look at that. 800. Go ahead, just play it. I didn't come here expecting to get attacked by the devil. I came here expecting that God was gonna bless me, bless my wife, bless this first row, bless this second row. God didn't send us here to feel sin. He sent us here that the devil would realize God's got a mighty army. And in Paradise, Nevada, that has not bowed to bail, that has not kissed his face. It's not us that's getting attacked. It's him that's getting ready to get attacked. Border patrol was having one suicide like every couple days. Went out to pray for him. Adoles's women's conference, the resistance, they had so many women come there. They lay hands on them in downtown Pittsburgh, in the street, you'll see it matters.
- [38:11]
A
That's what Christianity you're all in.
- [38:13]
B
Or look, downtown Pittsburgh. Pause. That's going to be what we do in the last days. The biggest things the church is going to be out, invisible. And something you can't ignore keep going at all.
- [38:25]
A
I want everything or nothing at all. And if you can't give me everything, I don't want none of it. So what do we do? We continue to resist the enemy. We continue to resist against the lies of the enemy. Stand the therefore.

B
But in this church, we don't want some of the blessing. We want Fort Worth. We want healing. We want the Pittsburgh. That's where Bible college meets. We want the gifts of the spirit and we want the wealth of the wicked that's laid up for the judge. We're getting land in a building now. This church is not waiting for revival. We are revival. There is concern over a festival being
- [39:03]
A
organized by a local church.
- [39:05]
B
It is expected to bring thousands to Moon Township. But township leaders say the church isn't following the rules. This township does not need this. Can't support the traffic. This community certainly doesn't want it. Pause. Put it back where that guy's talking. Go ahead, play it. A festival being organized by a local church. It is expected to bring thousands to Mood Township. But township leaders say the church isn't following the rules. This township does not need this, boss. You know, they. They say like, you're ruining our lives, but I feel like she was sad before we Started the church. Keep going. I can't support the traffic. This community certainly doesn't want it. A new mega church in Moon Township has found itself in the middle of controversies. Now, if you can't take a Facebook negative Facebook comment, then, then God can't use you. What are you going to do when you're on the news every night and they're trying to vilify you? I had an old preacher call me. His name is Bob Nichols. He said, I saw they're putting you on the news in Pittsburgh. I said, yeah. He said, you're going to have a huge meeting this summer. He's in his 80s. I said, how do you know the Lord told you? He said, no, but if the devil's devoting that type of resources to shut you down, he knows there's going to be thousands of people coming. And he was right. Don't ever let the persecution back you down. Don't ever be ashamed of the gospel. If you can build big casinos in Pittsburgh, you can build big churches in Pittsburgh where a new generation comes out of this room that is not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus. Jesus Christ. Keep going over noise. Welcome to what do I have seen? 2024, 3100 people shout. He is my Jesus. He's my healer. He's my savior. He's my deliverer. Come on, raise your hands and shout hallelujah. It is a move of God that is coming to America. The eyes of religion will not see it. The eyes of tradition will not see it. The eyes of men will not see it. It's going to happen in Jesus name. When people think you have finished, you are just beginning. You are just beginning. You are just starting. When people think you have achieved so much, they just realize that you are just beginning. Listen, you have to find a socket. You have to find whether it's a black socket, a white socket, a brown socket socket, a yellow socket, a broken socket, and what kind of socket. Whether plastic or metal, you have to find a socket. You have to find a socket. When you put your sacrifice on the altar, you make God move in you've never seen before. I like him a lot. When you sacrifice, you will see pause. That's 76 years old, by the way. See how he moves and preaches? You don't have to be old even when you're old. Can you say amen? Continue supernatural. It's my time for Fort Worth. Broke a thousand in one year. The church is going to rise up in the demonstration of power of the Holy Ghost and remind the devil that 2,000 years ago, he got his rear end kicked on the cross of Jesus Christ.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walls's battleground state tour seem to be.
- [42:24]
B
This is not a political rally. But the Lord spoke to me before the election. Take 40 days off from the road and preach every night on national television. Which I did. Which is like doubly bad. You're not having any offerings come in on the road, plus you're paying for national tv. Kamala Harris set up the next building over from where I was preaching. And one day their official account tweeted, jonathan is of his father the devil. And then they erased it, like somebody was so mad watching what we were preaching. And I wrote back, that's not a nice way to talk about my dad. He's a good guy, a devil. Tish Ellsworth is a nice man. And so it has an effect. The Lord spoke to me, if you'll stay and preach faith, it'll crumble. What the devil's trying to do in America, this is not a anti Kamala rally or a pro Trump rally. Is this. But there was an agenda. If things went a different way, it was over. This country was this close. I'm telling you. When you think back of how close we were to being done and God gave us a second chance, we ought to take this thing by the horns and ram the devil straight into the ground. Hallelujah. You're gonna do it. You're gonna do it. The anointing's jumping in you to do it. Continue.

Keep battle. Brown states she has a four point edge in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

B
I'm going to do a thing called 40 days of faith for America. And I believe God's going to hit this nation with such a revival that people are going to lose focus on politics and get their focus where it should be, on the word of God. We got those cameras. We're preaching 40 days, 40 nights. Let the devil know it's different here. You're going to get a slap like you never got slapped before. The Fox News decision desk can now officially project that Donald Trump will become the 47th president of the United States.

- [45:28]
B
He was given a bad report that his ears. He wasn't able to hear. My dad was inflamed with psoriasis. Just to let you know, your wife died last night. But she came back. Jesus didn't come to put his arm around sick people, read them a story as they pass off into death. He came to heal the sick. He came to cast out devils. He came to raise the dead. And he told the church specifically the same work that you see.
- [45:57]

I was amazed because we went home that night rejoicing and praising the Lord. And I want to share this video with you guys. He slept 30 seconds without a single seizure. And then the 30 seconds went to a minute and then two minutes and then in five minutes and the next thing you know, he's sleeping and you can see this. The spirit of peace upon his life, he's able to sleep.

B
Justin, that big guy, you know how he, while he was in a wheelchair, he was transporting narcotics across state lines with his children in the car, got in an accident, busted them all up. He was going to lose custody of both sons, go to jail and was in a wheelchair from a high speed accident. And God healed him out of the wheelchair watching tv. And when he got up out of the wheelchair, his mother told him, you need to sit back down, you're going to hurt yourself. You are going to fight against people in your own house that when you start getting up and moving, they're going to tell you, you can't do that. Sit back down. I want you to get ready today that God's not only going to move you Forward. Every voice that tells you to sit back down, you're going to go forward anyway. You're going to go where they think you can't go and do what they tell you you can't do. Continue.

We just seen him break through ceiling after ceiling. You know what? These are just a few testimonies, but it covers autistic children, paralyzed, blind, Satanist. So basically, you can find yourself in here if you're going through a problem. That's why I play the testimonies, to show that it's beatable. This guy's son had autism, and if there were loud noises, he'd scream and run away. Every time they did the vacuum cleaner, the kid would freak out for the rest of the day. And after we prayed, his kid was running the vacuum in the house that's sticking it to the devil. I'm telling you, God's gonna. Whatever limitation, whatever sickness, whatever depression that Satan would use to immobilize you, God is cutting it off tonight. Patience that they had placed on him because of the diagnosis.

Or my youngest one. I'm gonna be home waiting for you guys whenever you guys. They don't really tell what they were doing in the first part. Their son was on drugs, and they hadn't seen him for 18 months. They said, would you pray that our son would somehow come home? He didn't know what state he's in. The next morning, after we prayed, he texted, where are you guys? I came home. They said, we're at a revival meeting. He said, when you come home, I'll be there. Can I go to church with you? Gave his life to the Lord that Sunday. God created the whole world in six days. He can sort out any person and any family in one day. Keep going. And glory to God, Everything was cleared up. He lifted up his shirt. It was gone. He lifted up, lifted up his. His arms. Everything was gone.

Just right now. Revival today. Church is breaking barriers and setting new milestones. Over 6 million has been sewn into ministries, charities, and disaster relief efforts from Israel to. To North Carolina. With over 30 million received in the ministry, the ripple effect is undeniable. Pastor Jonathan has journeyed across 34 cities, 20 states, and 6 nations, preaching 314 services, 189 on the road, and 125 at Revival today Church. He has preached on stages ranging from crusades in Ethiopia with Bishop Dag Heward Mills to the iconic grand Old Opry and even the largest church in the world. Together, we've witnessed the miraculous. 2,956 salvations through evangelistic outreach. 541 in our church. Church services 1,245 through our outreaches in Pittsburgh. 1,400.
- [50:54]
B
That's my dad. 1,472. And I wasn't there for any of them. That's the church. People holding crusades every Saturday. Go out and get them. Don't wait for your church to grow. Go bring people in. Duct tape and chloroform work on anybody. Keep going.
- [51:08]
A
172 through our outreaches in Fort Worth, and 766 lives changed through our broadcasts. Believe it or not, we are only moving into our third year of being a church Revival Today Church continues to break records, and we are stepping in to a new dawn.

Now, I'm not saying this in any kind of my cheesy mode type way, but if you define what you're supposed to do in life by what people around you have done, you will miss what God has for you by a million miles. We have a church of 3,000 that we're building right now in a. It'll be ready in 10, 10 total months, starting from when we started. It'll be ready for Easter. The whole thing will be ready a few months after that. There's no church that's ever been built in the history of the city of Pittsburgh that has more than 3,000 Catholic, Presbyterian, nothing. So full gospel. I don't know that there's any church in Pittsburgh right Now that has 700 at a time in. In a service. So you don't go, well, it's Pittsburgh. No, no, no, no, no. Read the Bible. Your future is in the pages of Scripture. Get drunk on what God is able to do. Get intoxicated with God's limitless, overflowing power. Stop lowering your expectations to the town that you live in and start busting through in Jesus name Can you say amen? I've not seen this yet. This is the update from this morning at our church that'll open for Easter. Go ahead. There's the stage starting to take shape. We got the permits and everything already. I thought there was a new one. Now. That's 10 million on buildings in four years without feeling it. Put Proverbs 10:22. 10:22. Proverbs 10:22. I'm gonna have you read it when it pops up. Go ahead. The Lord, When I was poor. I really like this part. As I get older, I'm really enjoying this part. He doesn't just give you blessing. It's effortless, enduring riches. There's. I mean, did anybody hear? A family called and said, if I'll fly to their house, they have a million dollars for me. You only have to tell me once. I flew, picked up the million, came back, went to the church. Not for me, for the church. I got. I got my own money. That's for the church. So it comes. I'm telling you something tonight that if you move slow, you get slow, giving slow. The people that have money admire someone that believes in what they're doing. And the slowness that you move or the quickness that you move speaks to the people about how much you believe in what you're doing. Let me tell you this, then. I'm going to give you five scriptures and we're out of here. I'm going to pray for everybody that wants prayer. How many you'd like hands laid on you tonight before we wrap up what's been a great week in the presence of God? I'm going to do it. Then I'm going to get on the plane, go to Arizona and eat some Mexican food and go to bed. Some people take sleeping pills, but you don't need sleeping pills if you have a burrito. The blessing of the Lord makes a man rich and adds no sorrow with it. Everybody say, I'm going to move with speed. The first building that we were given originally, all the owner did was waive the down payment. It was owner financed and he said, Pay 10,000amonth for. For three years. He said, you can start working on the building tomorrow if you want. It was completely gutted. I told her, I said, be there at 8am and start working. We didn't have the money yet, but see, I found out later it was a test. If you say you want to start a church and somebody gives you a building and you wait another 18 months because you need to raise the money and you Cover in a thermometer. Those type of people don't like you because they move fast. I told that guy, he said, don't you think you're moving a little fast, having all these churches? I said, let me ask you a question. When you were my age, what did your week look like? He said, oh, I did work in Pittsburgh. Then I would fly to Germany for the middle of the week and do stuff with steel there. Then I'd fly to Japan, and then I'd go home every week. I said, okay, your work is steel. My work is the ministry. And so those guys that work hard want to see somebody not working. I don't mean struggling, but I mean putting your hands to the plow. Put your hand to the plow. He that takes his hand off the plow is not fit for the kingdom. Show God that you take his thing seriously. That's what taking up your cross means. Taking up your cross is not cancer, breast cancer, autism. It's not that. Your cross is your personal responsibility that God lays on you to advance Christianity in your generation. I made up my mind. I am not going to go to heaven. And Christianity went backwards in America during my lifetime. We're going to bust Planned Parenthood. We're going to bust the abortion industry. We're going to shut down child trafficking. We're going to let the world know that there's a mighty church on the earth and we're still full of God's power. Can you say amen? October does. November. December. December. That guy walked in with all three of our checks uncashed and gave them back to Patrick and said, you guys can have the building. When I thanked him in person, he said, you're welcome. When I saw the speed that you moved with in doing that building, it made me want to give it to you. Your slowness speaks that you're not serious. Your speed speaks seriousness. I think in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh sued me twice. They've banned our people from using public parking. I think they're backing down now. There's just a thing you have about you that I would not get in that guy's way. They can see in your eyes you're not messing around. This isn't a job and. Okay, okay. You don't want us meeting. All right. No, no, no. Told every department, a health person, you can't. Reverend, you can't have meetings. I don't remember asking you. This is America. You can't violate an amendment with a Facebook Live announcement. Can you say no? I'm not saying this to be mean. But I'm glad to see Janet Mills go gently into the night. The last remaining psychopath from that era that thought they could touch the church. Listen to me, everybody from cnn, everybody from msnbc, every mayor, every governor that put their hand against the church, every one of them, their political careers are over. And we're still here because we are anointed and to take ground. Everybody that tries to stop the growth of the church. Jesus has a word for him. I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against. Go ahead, take 30 seconds and let it rip. Let the redeemed of the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Say it out loud. The Lord is good and his mercy endures forever. You may seated. Any preaching that doesn't give you something to do is just theater. So now that we know these things and you're excited and clapping scripturally, how do you access divine speed? If there's divine speed available? That's what that jet is, that jets, divine speed. Old school evangelism. I finish tonight, go out to eat till one or two in the morning, wake up, drive, start driving home. Lose two days the jet and I'll tell you where the jet came from. God knew that if he gave me a jet, there wouldn't be more time off, there'd be more churches. When you move, God makes more tools available to you to get the job done. I see God making tools available to everybody here today to get the job done. Hallelujah. Well, I've tried not to, but I'm going to miss you. You have been fantastic people to minister the word of God to. I'll never forget you. I love you with all my heart. This is where you start getting quiet. Cuz Mainers don't like compliments. But I'm sticking by what I say. God bless every one of you. When I pray for you tonight, I'm going to pray with everything in my belly that you go through these 10 months with flying colors saying the Lord has done great things. How do you access divine speed? Number one, understand that your covenant with God includes divine speed. Isaiah 40:31 those let me see King James. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up like an eagle they'll run and how many times Be weary, they'll walk and how many times will they faint? So I think a lot of times people choose to do less in life because they've been around people that do more and they're all medic, Adderall up, antidepressant, Adderall for the day, antidepressant at night, Lexapro when it's cloudy out. And so they, well, I don't want to live like that. Yeah, I'd rather do less and enjoy my life with my wife and kids than be all drugged out trying to do something. But it's not struggling. It's actually like you never actually even feel like you're doing anything. It's like you come to the end of the year and you go, wow, we got four churches now. I didn't even feel like I did it, you know, this meeting, I haven't been like on the phones hammering them, calling back to our office, amp up the digital marketing. I want to fill that rec center. No, I don't know where you came from. The Lord gets behind it. And I feel fresher on this Friday night than I did when we started on Monday night. And after tomorrow afternoon in Arizona, where it's 91 degrees with no humidity, I'll be ready. Like, I had a nine day. That's another thing. And I'm not gonna ramble. I'm gonna ramble a little bit. When you keep a heavy pace. If you get like, like my dad and I were in Arizona and we preached together down there and we had the whole afternoon and evening off. It felt like a seven day vacation. Because you're operating in a different type of cycle. Can you say amen? God's going to give you a grace that you're going to break free from. Family patterns. Some of us grew up in families where if they were taking a vacation in June, they're packing now. I have a vacation coming up in June, so I can't go out. No, you're going to be able to do things quickly. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Everybody say renewed strength. So it's not God moving you to the point of exhaustion. Bishop David Oyedepo said, who has the largest church in the world. So it's worth listening to. He said, really? Even though we say God uses people and Lord, use me, in reality, God never uses anyone. He blesses people. He said he's not looking for who to use. Like use up. That's what the devil does. You're a comedian. For the devil end up on cocaine in a gutter. Movie star for the devil dead. God doesn't treat his servants like that. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. There's a power going through this room right now to mount up with wings as eagles. To run and never feel it. To walk and not faint. The last down day that you had will be the last down day that you have. From this day forward, joy begins to bubble over and multiply. Your energy levels go up by the supernatural power of God. If you believe it, can you say, I receive it? I wasn't going to throw this in, but put in first. Kings 18:36 ish. Go 40. Let me see. NLT Elijah took all the prophets of Bail Ashter to the Kishon Valley and killed them there. 850 people. Do you know how long it takes to shake hands with 850 people, let alone kill them manually? No firearms. Is Elijah 21 at this point, or is Elijah an old man? Okay, so he's called fire down from heaven. He's killed 850 people. That's tiring. I've heard. I've never done it personally. 41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, go get something to eat and drink, for I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. I want you to notice a parallel here. Philip did a great work for the Lord. Supernatural strength came on him to go to the next thing. Elijah did a great work for the Lord and the hand of God. God refreshes his servants. He gives his servants rest. He gives his servants peace. I'm preaching out of you. Anything you heard about how hard it is to serve the Lord? Oh no. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly at heart. And you'll find find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. 42 so Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees. Then he said to his servant, go and look out toward the sea. The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, I didn't see anything. Seven times Elijah told him to go and look. Finally, the seventh time his servant told him, I saw a little cloud like a man's hand rising from the sea. Then Elijah shouted, hurry. To Ahab and tell him, climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don't hurry, the rain will soon stop you. And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm. Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. Then the Lord gave what I want you to close your eyes and lift both hands and say, thank you, Jesus for special strength. Special strength is coming into your body right now. Strength to repair your body. Strength to repair your abdominal wall. Strength to repair your eardrums. Strength to repair a detached retina. God is strengthening his servants to run and not go grow weary. That the Lord gave special strength. Everybody shout special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab's chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel. I'm not texting. I have a question. Come on. Hey. How far did Elijah run when he ran all the way to Jezreel and outran the king's chariot? Don't be wordy. Make it succinct.
- [67:17]
A
Elijah ran about 17 to 20 miles from Mount Carmel to Jezreel.
- [67:22]
B
And yes, he outran Ahab's chariot 17 to 20 miles. Now, it would be an accomplishment to beat a horse in a sprint, but it would be a super accomplishment to outrun a horse for 20 straight miles. I have a question for you. Did kings have the weakest horses in the country or the strongest horses in the country? That's right. Ahab represents movement by the flesh. But when God gave Elijah special strength, he outran the king's chariot as an old man. No sassony running shoes, no Nike 2 ounce shoes, no spandex, no lululemon pants with a cloak, barefoot or in sandals. And for 20 miles ran about 25 miles an hour. That's called the hand of the Lord. Coming on God's servants to strengthen them and cause them to do things at a pace grace that's never been done before. Receive that grace tonight. How do you access divine speed? Number one. Understand that it's part of your covenant. Number two. By grace. Put first Corinthians. Can't remember. It's ten. Three or three. Ten. Where did Paul say, Tessa, that God poured out his grace upon me more than all the other apostles. And not without results. For I labored more intensely than all the other apostles. Yet it was not I laboring, but God's grace working through me. It's Corinthians. There it is. Good Job. Thank you so much. Number two. Receive grace from God. How many know? We all have grace. We all have access to grace. But the Bible talks about frustrated grace. It talks about more grace. And it talks about grace being multiplied unto you. Then Paul said he had more grace than all the other apostles. And he knew they were going to read it too. That's why him and Peter didn't Really get along that great. And you want to know how you know he had more grace than Peter? Peter wrote in Second Peter, chapter three, our brother Paul wrote about this, even though some of his writings are difficult to understand. In other words, I'm head of the church in Jerusalem and I don't know what this guy's talking about half the time. Everybody say more grace. But whatever I am now, it's all because God poured out his special favor on me. And not without results. Everybody say not without results. Grace is not a covering for disobedience. Grace is an empowerment to do great work for God. And that empowerment is coming on your body today in Jesus name. Not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles. What got on dean Shropshire at 80 years old to start a second church in another state? Grace. Grace causes you to think kingdom. And that's what got on Pastor Man. And nobody in their right mind has a goal to start a. He's not 21 at that age. It is not normal for an American minister to start a second church, let alone do one in every county. And if you follow standard procedure, it takes about two years for a church to be cash positive. So you're draining your resources in the natural. None of it makes sense. But when grace comes on you, God begins to speak of multiplied effectiveness. Poured out his special favor on me. And not without results. For I have worked harder than all the other apostles. Yet it was not I, but God who was working through me by his grace. Number two, access divine grace through. And they both start with H. Everybody say humility. God resists the proud, but he gives what to the humble, More grace and helplessness. Everybody say humility and helplessness. What do I mean by helplessness outside of God? You want to access grace? Lose a desire to get help from any person. If I'm building a 3,000 seat church in Pittsburgh, you know what I'm supposed to do? Not faster pray. Go to PNC bank, put up my 5.3 million dollar building as collateral, finance the building, revolving construction loan, and then do it like that. But I have having no confidence in the flesh. You don't. I'll make you the lender and never the borrower. So instead of doing it that way, I choose to lean on God. If I get a loan from pnc, the vice president of PNC might be friends with the guy in the city that doesn't want our church there. Now you start getting ishmaels involved. But I'm not doing it that way. I know Jehovah Jireh. I know El Shaddai. I know my all sufficient God. I am helpless without God. But because I have God, I access my help. From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. Can you say Amen Number three. Habakkuk Two, One and two. I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guard post. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer me. Two, two. Then the Lord said, let me see King James. Write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may.

What?

B
Run? You should not only have a vision, you should have one that when people read it, they want to, like, go to war with you. Yeah. Vision causes you to run. Vision causes people who are with you to want to run. Tessa, that's doing media back there, I like her. She was sending videos of the crowd to the group chat before the service like it was her meeting. Look how many people. This is great. You know, you could hire someone else that wouldn't send any pictures. We had to move from the church all afternoon, and I haven't been sleeping much. You can't go with people like that. But when you have a vision from God, it makes people hear it and want to run with you. That couple that gave me a million dollars two weekends ago, they said, we heard you talk about your church. We want to be a part. They don't live in Pennsylvania. They don't even live in that time zone. They don't go to our church. We want to be a part of that. A lady from California, 86 years old, wrote me, I watched Billy Graham and got saved. I got healed watching Kathryn Kuhlman. And it's delighted me to see you carry on their work. Here's some money to help. $1.26 million. If she was sitting here, I don't know who she is. I've never met her. I don't think she's ever been to a service. So when you have a vision, we're going to build an impactful church. We have a little ministry. You know, it's not. No one's going to help you get a vision from God. Write it. Make it plain that somebody not only can read it and understand it, when they read it, they want to run through a troop and leap over a wall. Can I tell you something? Tonight, none of you will lack direction for the rest of your life. You will have a vision birthed by the Holy Ghost. You'll grab it, run with it, and God will Send helpers to run with you. Can you say amen? Say vision. That church should cost $250 a square foot to build. Minimum, it's going to be $70 a square foot. A builder that doesn't go to our church saw them running those negative news stories, and it ticked him off. He goes to another Pentecostal church in, like, two counties away. And so he acquired a building. He told everybody that did the painting. Sheetrock, carpentry. This quote isn't good enough. You're gonna have to come in 50% lower. Sir. We're not even charging for labor. That's just materials. Not my problem. You know I'm the largest home builder in Pittsburgh, right? So if you want me to keep using you for my other houses, you're going to have to take this one on the chin. And he made them cut it down. I didn't do that. Why does he care? He doesn't. He's never been to my church. I've met him one time briefly. But, God, when people see the vision, they start taking it upon themselves to see you across the finish line. Can I prophesy something to you tonight? Some of you, your whole life has only consisted of people trying to stop you and people trying to hurt you. But from today, the Lord is going to send people to grab your arms like Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch, and see you go across the finish line. In Jesus name. I said in Jesus name. If you receive it, go ahead and lift your hands and just begin to thank God out of your mouth. From today. Helpers coming from God. Accessing divine speed number four. The Bible says in the King James, Tessa can find it first. Kings 18. The hand of the Lord was upon him. How do you access divine speed? Everybody say the hand of God. So how do you access the hand of God? Say this with me. Intimacy and purity. You're mumbling again. Intimacy and purity. That's how you get God's hand. He bowed low with his face between his knees and prayed, and the hand of the Lord came on him. Spend time, quality time with God with his word and prayer. Develop spiritual time with God to carry his hand on your life. You know his handmate. Yeah, it makes some people hate you, but then it makes some people like you. And the people that like you outweigh the people that hate you. Those two people, that's $2.26 million from two people that liked me and feel the hand of God on me. That's more than all the money we spent on lawsuits. And I'm not done yet. When it's done, I'm gonna get all that money back in federal court. But one thing at a time. Can you say amen? Yeah. Send more people that like you. The hand of God. There's a thing you carry on your body that makes you have. Let me see. Psalm 5:12. Hand of the Lord was on him. For thou, Lord, will bless the righteous with favor. Wilt thou compass him as with a shield? Everybody say, I have favor all around me like a shield. You know, most of you that came here tonight, unless somebody tricked you into coming, the majority of you that are here, there's some kind of favor God gave me. Some. Some of you, if I asked you at the beginning of the week, you said, I'm going to come one day. But then favor made you go, I'll come Tuesday, then Wednesday, then Thursday, and before you know it, you've been in church more this week than you were in all of 2015 put together. Some of you went to church more times this week than your family's gone since Ulysses S. Grant was the president. Everybody say, favor. Favor makes people do something for you that they won't even do for their own children. Favor makes a casino owner call you and say, we have a policy not to let preachers in, but I'm going to let you in. That's why you should never, never listen to people that tell you what they allow here and what they don't. I don't need them to allow. Everybody just make an exception for me. And favor makes people make an exception for you. Everybody that's facing something right now, or they told you, over my dead body will you ever get that land. Over my dead body will you ever get that zoning or permit? God is going to open a door for you tonight and no man will be able to shut it in Jesus name. Everybody, everything is turning around for your good. Everything is turning around for your good. Number five. Everybody shout impartation. Hang around, movers. Hang around, people. Can you do the Dag Healing video and do it halfway through? Do it when he's playing the. When he's praying the sinner's prayer. Get around, Dag. Heywood Mills has 85,8000 churches. William F. Kamulyi, 8500. Enoch Attaboye, 19,000. You hang around people like that, next thing you know you're just moving different because what's on them rubs off on you. You can't hang around lazy low achievers and do much. You have to make a point to get around people that are Doing things for God. Can you say amen? So here's one. See, when you see this, it changes you. And I was here with them a few times. Roll it. Jesus, please forgive me for my sins.
- [79:52]
A
Please forgive me for my sins.
- [79:54]
B
Oh, God, I am a sinner. Oh, Jesus, I know I am a sinner Tonight. Tonight I come to you, Lord, just as I am, oh, God. Pause, by the way, when you hear people ask, how can we reach the Islamic world? You put up a stage and preach, same as you reach everybody. It works everywhere. Can you say amen? Keep going, please wash away my sins. Make me a new person. From today, I open my heart. Look at that. Pause. Now. I was in meetings like that. I came back to our church in Pittsburgh and we set our record attendance that Sunday. I came back, I said, where did everybody come from? We don't know. You pick up things in the spirit. You can pick up smallness in the spirit. You can pick up medium size in the spirit. You can pick up tall, you can pick up grande. But you can pick up vente and Trente. I see Vente and Trente being your story. In Jesus name. Keep going, River. Come as you are Surrender your heart Broken and beautiful. Broken and beautiful Beautiful Come as you. Somebody shout out living. Amen. Everybody shout, impartation. How do you receive impartation? Three main ways. By listening to someone preach. His spirit entered into me when he spake to me. I think it's Ezekiel 2. 2. Everybody say close association. Timothy, the faith that was on your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice is now in you. So you get what you're around. Just like if you hang around some people long enough, you'd start smoking, even if you don't smoke. If I could pick your friends for you for this year and have you hang around with them a minimum of five hours a day, I could have you dead by December. Or I could have you, a mighty man or woman of God, by December. Just from being around you don't want to hear something interesting? It's interesting to me. Anyway. Two of our pilots on our planes did not have much to do with Christianity. One was not a Christian. One was a Christian, didn't go to church. And they started flying me. And then, like, now the plane's waiting in Presque Isle. So they don't know, because in my service they can get out anytime between 8:45 and 2:00am so they watch on YouTube to know when to do the plane. And then watching every Friday, it started to be where they'd start sitting in the back then one time I was laying hands on people and they were catching. They said we saw on YouTube they don't really have like people to catch the people. So we came and then before you know it, there's worship music playing in the plane. Then the one guy is going to move his family to attend the church. Church. The other guy got baptized. Let me see the two Iranians. These two guys are from Iran. We have a rotation of pilots. He's from Iran, he's getting baptized this May. Gave his life to Jesus Christ. You can't hang around something and it not rub off on you. You can't hang around something. Now think if I was a cocaine snorting booze hound, they'd end up going out to the bar with me. And if they didn't do cocaine, they'd start dabbling in it because that's what we do. But if you hang around a Holy ghost preacher, you're going to start serving the Lord. You've been hanging around one all week and you're not going to be hanging around one anymore. You're going to be one yourself. You're going to take the light of God to your apartment complex, to your home. People are going to be different by impartation. If you believe it, can you say Amen? I like those guys. There are families all in Iran. As soon as a town opens up to preach the gospel after the regime falls, we don't even have to wait for there to be commercial flights. My fucking 900 can get there unless somebody beats me to it, which if Franklin Graham tries, I'm going to like trip him. Just get there just ahead of him. I want to do everything in my power to be the first person to preach an open air meeting in Iran since 700 AD. We're going to do it together. In Jesus name, can you say Amen? I told them that. And then he go, you know, they didn't go, oh, it's dangerous. They went, yes. They said the regime will go down soon. And they said, when it does, I know where we can go. And then this guy who's not a Christian yet goes, the people want it. They don't want Islam, they want what you preach. He said, it'll be a great meeting. See that? That's the people God's going to give you. Not reluctant pilots, people that get the vision. Can you say amen? God's going to clear the bums out and replace them with people that get the vision. Number six, Acts 10:38. There's only seven, so you're almost done. You know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil, for God was with them, no doubt. You know how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost and with power. Then what was the first thing that happened? Jesus went about, when you get anointed with the Holy Ghost and power, you start going about. I've never seen a spirit filled preacher that can stand still when he preaches. Brother Hagin was walking around when he was 85. They all move. Jesse Duplantis moves. Kenneth Copeland still moves at 90, headed up on 100. When you get anointed, you move. You can't even stand still when you're preaching. My dad starts off every sermon like he's from the Southern Baptist convention. And about 35 minutes in his ties loose, he's sweating and spit flying. Because you can't stand still. When you're filled with the Holy Ghost and then it carries into your other life, you start traveling. That's what the devil didn't tell Pastor Matt to start. Churches in every county. When you get anointed, you start going. You're not content to stay in one place, not out of nervousness, not because you don't like being around your family. But you go. One guy told me, he said, why do you have to fly to all these states to preach? I think you should just stay in Pittsburgh. I said, I guess me and you have a different interpretation of go ye into all the world. Not ask the whole world to come to Pittsburgh. Go into all the world and preach the gospel. Can you say Amen? Everybody say, get anointed with the Holy Ghost. Yeah, that's what access is, divine speed. So another way you can receive, that's by the laying on of hands. And number seven, Psalm 67:5 to seven. May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you. Then what happens when you praise God? It's not a trick question. Praise and joy facilitates growth. Refusing to be a sad person, a heavy hearted person, a down person. In a zillion years, you would never have anybody say, how are you doing, Jonathan? The Lord's good. Is it? Why don't you notify your face? Things are going good. Amen. What? An angel should hit you with angelic brass knuckles. Hate him, Lord. Lord is good. God's faithful. Is he? Because you sound like somebody shot you. No. Everybody say, I'm a praiseful person. Yes. When you Praise. They can chain you in a prison, but praise makes it where you can't be locked down. The doors come open, the chains come off. You plant a church and you're on to the next city. Everything that tried to take your joy, every enemy that tried to take your strength, a deluge of praise is coming out of your spirit today. It's knocking every chain off and opening every prison door. 7. Yes, God will bless us. And people from all over the world will fear Him. Let me see Joel 1. Eleven in the king James. Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen. Hallow, ye vinedressers for the wheat and barley. Because the harvest of the field has what? Why did it perish? 12. The vine is dried up. The fig tree languisheth. The pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree. Even all the trees of the field have withered.
- [89:27]
A
Why
- [89:31]
B
you guys mumble, huh? Try one more time, a little louder. Because joy has withered away from the sons of man. It caused the harvest to fail. Psalm 65, 67 has the opposite. Praise the Lord and the earth will yield its harvest. Refuse to praise, everything dies. As church attendance is at a record high in America. That's why you're going to see the economy rip. It doesn't matter that there's World War III on the horizon. You can't suppress this economy because when people praise God, God causes their earth to be productive. That's why they found that new oil reserve in the Permian Basin that can keep America going for several decades without any help. That's why Iran can't cut their oil off. We don't need them anymore. First refinery being opened up this week, $3 billion invested into it. God is reversing the economy of the United States because the people have decided on Friday night, you're not drinking, you're not smoking, you're not fighting. You're lifting up holy hands unto God without wrath or doubting. And God. God is blessing his people. Stand on your feet, everybody. Did you get something tonight? Me too. Praise God Bible College revival today. Bible institute.com. if you feel called in the ministry now, if you're already at a Bible college, we won't take you. I'm not looking to rip people out of another school. But if you're young and you felt the call of God this week or tonight, here's a next step you can take. $2,000 a year in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, third year if you're invited. And then we're starting revival today. School of worship with Pastor Clarice in Pastor Tony this coming fall. And we're going to take the best students from there and bring them on the road like brother Hagen did with the Raymond Singers and Band. So if you feel the call of God, I want to give you a path forward. You can come to the altar and pray, which is great. But then you need to make a plan to facilitate what God calls you to do. What else do we got? There's something else on. Yes, Tessa, you just got a raise tonight. Raise? Revival today, Global pursuit. If you would like, if you like. This week there is a leadership drought for ministers in America. Many people, the only time they hear from their overseer is if their tithe is late. You don't tithe to this. I was telling Pastor Wes who's joining. I said, he said, what? What am I supposed to do? I said, we geared it. It's not bottom up. It's not for the ministers to help us. It's top down for the ministers to help that are at the top to help those that need counsel. Every minister gets a call once, once a month to ask how you are and get prayer. So there's nothing wrong with being independent in the sense that you didn't join the Assemblies of God or the Church of God or some big denomination, but if you're independent where you're not connected to the body of Christ, it's a massive mistake. So you don't have to join this. But if you want. That's Pastor Russell Johnson in Seattle. That's me. We have Pastor Stefano Giswaldi in Montreal doing Canada. Mitch and Belfast, Ireland. Who does Europe? Dag Heywood Mills is in charge of Africa, his Bible college for the, for people from Africa. It's a network that's going to be at a hundred churches. It started in November. We'll be at 100 churches very shortly. And then we have two, three Bible colleges. One in Montreal, four one in Montreal, one in Seattle, Professor Russell, myself, Bishop Daggs in Africa. And so everybody that's here and everybody that's all over the world, if you want to connect and not make this a one week thing, but join hands and go together, you know, if they try a Dr. Fauci thing again, you'll be a part of something that doesn't say, shut your church down or we'll take your credentials. We have an attorney that will hook you up with. To make the state of Maine sorry they tried to do anything to you. Pastor Steve in Canada was the one of the only churches of any size that did anything to Fight the lockdown. And so you're going to be with winners that fight. Can you say amen? And you're gonna be with happy people that are happy to see your church grow, not, not upset that your church got bigger than them. Can you say amen? And so you have the Bible school, that's for ministers. And now this is for everybody. Every head bowed, every eye closed, lift both hands to God. I thank you Lord for this impartation of divine speed that's come into Aroostook county tonight. By your word that this place I pray, Lord from the depth of my heart as a personal favor, as a sign that what we preach was directed by the Holy Ghost. I pray the largest churches is in the state of Maine would emanate from this county in Jesus name, I pray this would not be known as a place of small Pentecostal works, but of impactful, far reaching churches and ministries that spring out of this county starting tonight. You did it once before when Amy Simple McPherson came and brother Bickford was touched and places exploded all over here. Do it again 110 years later. Do it tonight. 110 years later. Let a new generation of book of Joel, last days Holy Ghost filled preachers, prophetesses, apostles, pastors, evangelists and teachers arise out of this county and do the greatest work for God that's ever been done in Jesus name. May Global ministries emerge from this room beginning now. Every hardship that's blocked them. Thank you for knocking it down. Thank you for empowering them to break every barrier and cross every line. In Jesus name. I want you for 60 seconds with your hands lifted to begin to thank the Lord in tongues in the Holy Ghost. If you're not filled with the spirit, thank him in English, thank him in French, thank him in whatever language you speak. Spanish. But everybody's mouth should be saying something. Thank you Lord that I'm going to another level. Thank you that you're opening doors no man can shut. We respond to you today. Thank you for putting your hand on us to outrun the king's chariot. Thank you for angelic help to take us from one place to another in blinding speed. No one in this room will die small. No one will live an unimpactful life. You will too. Great things for God in Jesus name. You'll impact your generation. You will impact your generation in Jesus name. And all God's people said a living Amen. Give the Lord a mighty hand. Clap every head bowed, every eye closed. If you're here tonight and you've Never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I want you to let me pray for this lady with the blonde hair, black turtleneck and off white thing over it. Let me pray for you. Come out. Come on this side. I'll pray for you. Now. Put one hand on your belly. Lift your other hand to the Lord. Times of refreshing from the Holy Ghost. When you're weary from the fight, the Lord gives you refreshing. In Jesus name, In Jesus name. Lift your hands one more time. Maybe I pulled out of the praying prematurely. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for moving through the through this place. Wave after wave after wave. In Jesus name, In Jesus name, In Jesus mighty name. Every head bowed, every eye closed. If you're here tonight, you want to do what so many did this week. But it's not enough till everybody does it. If you've never been born again, not attend church, not make your first communion, not get sprinkled as a child, are you living a pure and holy life right now? Are you ready to go to heaven? Or are there things that you've allowed to become a part of your life that the Bible calls sin and will separate you from God? You must be holy even as I am holy. For without holiness, no man will see God. And I want to give you a call to take care of that tonight. I'm glad you enjoyed the music. I'm glad you enjoyed the shouting and preaching. But the goal is not to enjoy church services. The goal is to have your name written in the Lamb's book of life. And I'm going to pray tonight. If when I pray, you'd like to be included in this prayer, I want you to put your hand up high. I want to give my life to Jesus Christ. I want to live the right way from now on. I want to join this tidal wave of people coming to Christ in America. Put your hand up high where I can see it. Nice and high. I see it. Keep them up. I see you. Who else? Young people. Yes. Awesome. More. Yes. Damn. Starting to break. Praise God. Praise God. Everyone that lifted a hand, you can come together as friends. But I want everyone that lifted a hand to come out of your seat and join me across the front. We're gonna pray right now. In Jesus name. Come right now in the name of Jesus. Keep clapping. Welcome. This is your night. Who else before we. We pray? Ah. Keep singing. Keep coming. Yes. There's room for you. There's time. Come. Yes. Sing it if you know it. Let's sing. If God's wrestling with your heart, come. Who else will before we Pray. I want to make things right with God tonight. I want to turn my back on sin. Awesome. Praise God. Yes. Who else? Sing it through one more time. Yes. People are still moseying up here. Come on. Clap for them as they come. Welcome them to the kingdom of God. This is your night. Tell the devil goodbye.

Every hand lifted across the front. Say this prayer out loud with me. I'm only giving you the words because some people, it's like if you told me, jonathan, go fix this car. I have no idea how to do that. And some people, like, I don't know how to fix a car, they've never prayed. So if I said, just pray, you don't know what to say. So I'm going to give you the words to say. But it's not a recital. Say it from your heart. Make the words your own. You're talking to a real God and he won't answer this prayer while you're praying it, he takes out your old heart and gives you a new heart. Say this nice and loud. Heavenly Father, I've come forward tonight to give you my life. Forgive me of all my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart. You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth. Jesus is Lord and my Savior. Right now I receive forgiveness. By the blood of Jesus. I am saved. I am forgiven. I am clean. In Jesus name, amen.
