Kylie
I'm Kylie, and two months ago I was in a really bad car accident where quite literally almost died. I had a brain bleed, liver laceration fractured my shoulder, and I broke my neck in three spots. And I had to have a spinal fusion from C5 to C7. And so they put like metal plates and stuff in my neck to like, keep it, I guess, in place. And so I haven't been able to like, look down or touch my cheek to my shoulder on either side or like, I haven't had full range of motion at all really. And the doctors told me that was something that I may never get back just because of, like, what they had to do. And they also told me that in the future I would be really, really prone to having to have like another surgery. I have like arthritis and stuff in my neck. I've just been believing that that's not the case because who wants that? But. And then when we came to the conference on Sunday, Pastor Jonathan was like, I'm gonna lay hands on everybody. And so when he did and he laid hands on me, I like, have never experienced anything like that. I like, gasped really loud and then just like fell. And when I fell, I started moving my head around because, like, obviously that's what I was believing for, like, so hard. And so I started moving my head around and I heard it pop. And I was like, that's new. And then I like tried to do everything that I couldn't do before and I could. And I did not know what to do. So praise God. Cuz that was. Yeah, yeah. But I can like do this and this and look down and I've not been able to do that in two months or like jump or anything. Like, my ankle is sprained and my shoulder is all messed up and I can do anything now. So here.

Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
We are raising up a family in this church. We're raising up a family in Pittsburgh. We're raising up a family in Texas that don't just know about God, they know God. They've handled his power. They've seen his power flow through Him. You're coming out of here today carrying fresh fire, fresh anointing, never to take another backward step. I really want you to understand that you, you are in a generational opportunity. Roe versus Wade flipped. I could run videos. You've seen me do it before. If you've come to this church for any period of time, we could run videos from now till 2pm of all the victories that God gave us this year. But like, like my friends that I was talking to, what. What are you going to do to actualize it for your life? Are you going to just scroll all day and respond to Democrat posts or MSNBC posts? Shame on you. You'll see one day. None of that does you any good. I want to tell you something that's going to sound extremely unchurch like and extremely selfish, but I mean it with all my heart and I could back it up from the totality of Scripture with all we do. And I preached 301 services this year, so I'm running around doing everything I can to help as many people as possible. Having said that, you should make a point to protect and grow what God's put in your hand, which is if you're a man, your wife, your children and your grandchildren as much as you can. If they don't want to receive it, you can't nag them into it. But the ones that do receive it, I'd give it all I got. Your life should be radically different 12 months from now than it is right now. There's everything at your back, and I'm going to tell you, if you don't guard what you take into your ear gate. The Bible says that what you believe is going to determine what you speak, and what you speak is going to determine what you have. Well, what determines what you believe? Faith comes by. And hearing by, you know, you had the stock market hit 60, 42, 46, 61. Record highs. It closed at a record high on Friday. And how many of you, by a show of hands, still hear people talk about economic uncertainty and affordability issues and I'm just nervous about the economy. I've been listening. How many by show of hands, have heard people talk like that this year? I told the last guy that told me this, I'm just concerned about the economy. It was on this last trip, I said, what economy and what country are you concerned about? Because here in America, there's almost nothing you could invest in that hasn't gone up. Minimum 21%. I think silver. What did silver start the year at? $26. And it was at $74 an ounce. 79. It's gone up since I said 72. Still climbing. You know, this is going to pass. The pendulum always swings the other way. And you can see elements of the conservative politicians that are nasty. See, I'm 45. I've lived through this one cycle already where the conservatives get in power, but then they become so mean that it creates a market for the tolerant, loving, fake loving left, and it goes back the other way. This is a generational window that we have as believers. Now, I told you, just so you know, I'm not rattling stuff off to start a service off. I said all this stuff last year. I said, this is a year to make moves. At this time, 12 months ago, how many Revival Today churches were there? Two. You were close. Even if you said one, you were only off by one. How many are there today? Fourth. Two churches planted in two different time zones in 12 months, that's double the amount of churches. And then we're gonna go from there. This. I'm not saying this to you. I'm telling you, I hope you follow my lead and see this. I told you when they announced tariffs and they were saying it was gonna collapse the economy, and every expert other than Scott Bessant was telling you it was gonna collapse the economy. I told you in April there's not gonna be a recession and the economy is gonna rip. And when it dropped, I said, if you're smart, you'll invest heavy. Right now I wonder how many people did. Because what's going to happen is I lived through the Reagan years. Nobody felt like they were in a good economy then. I could play you preaching clips from the 1980s and you would think they were preaching right now. You know, the price of oil, Middle east turmoil, that stuff is never going to go away. The Bible says this world's going to have trouble up until the coming of the Lord. But God's blessing does not work when times are good and then struggle when times are bad. God's blessing accelerates everything in the direction of the believer. And that's what you're walking in right now. Don't let 2024 through 2029 pass. And one day you're in 2040 looking back and say, man, you know, back, back in the 20s, there was a really good economy, and who knows what's going to happen down the road. This is a time for the people of God to set up. I believe young people that are here today, you're going to be a homeowner by this time 12 months from now. I believe people that are single that are desiring a husband or a wife, you're going to be married by this time next year. This is a time of God supernaturally accelerating the blessings of heaven to his children. And that's what this service is about today. It's about raising up an army of champions that are going to go and possess the land in Jesus name. If you're one of them, can you let God hear your mighty hand clap? Say something with me. Say if my people that are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and I will revive their land. I want to miss the New Year's Eve service because I'm going to show you stuff I'm alluding to now. We have limited time in the first service, but I could play. I mean, if you can't see God healing our land, that we did cry out to God. And a lot of people think two things. I would say Christian leaders think a, you cry out to God, but he's not really going to hear you. We need to repent. But ultimately the world's getting worse and worse. I posted something yesterday. It was a silhouette of my daughter looking out at the sunset in Arizona. And I wrote, america is a great country full of amazing people and it's worth fighting for. And some religious person with a profile picture, that's the letter R, very brave man wrote, no, it's not. America is full of wicked people that need to repent. I don't know who you're hanging around. I'm not with a bunch of wicked people today. And I don't think that people that are believers should be spoken to like they're wicked. Some of you grew up in churches like that. How many know we all miss it Every Day. How many know we all sin every day? Who in the world is getting up to get showered and dressed to go get verbally beat over the head all Sunday morning? I guess some people like abuse. I'm not looking to get beaten down. The word of God is to lift people up. Can you say amen? When they were going to stone that woman to death, it was caught in the act of adultery. Jesus didn't go, what happened here? She was caught in the act of adultery. Sounds about right. Anybody have a stone I can throw? No. He picked her up, he drove the accusers away and spoke up to her. God's not looking to knock you down. He sent Jesus to lift you up. And then once you get saved, God's not done with you. There's a power, a supernatural, supernatural life that God has extended to the believer, to dominate in this life. I want you to get hungry. You know, I think if you think things are normal, you just accept them. You know, if you think it's normal to get diabetes, you're not going to fight that. You just get your insulin shots. And two thirds of Americans get diabetes. One out of every six men get prostate cancer. If you just accept things that the world tells you is normal, there's no point in doing what I'm intending to preach on today, which is fasting and prayer. If you think that you are bound for a normal life, but you attend church on Sunday and one day you're going to make heaven, which you will, and you get a little talk to help you survive through this next week. And that's what you think Christianity is. There's no point in going to this church when you read the Bible. The Bible is a record of common, ordinary, unskilled women, unskilled men. The Bible says, remember, brethren, First Corinthians chapters one and two. Remember, brethren, that not many of you are wise or mighty. When God called you, God deliberately chose the things the world calls foolish and used them to bring to nothing that which was thought powerful by the world. The Bible is not just to get you to heaven. The Bible is an empowerment. It's what made Abraham. It's what made Isaac. It's what made Jacob. It's what made David. It's what made Samson. It's what made all these heroes of faith. They were nothing. And they got a hold of God's supernatural power and became mighty in their generation. God has a great plan for your life. God's looking for who to use. God's looking for who to bless. And I pray that some people in this 8am service would get hungry to leave ordinary living and say, lord, I want you to use me to shake my generation. It's not hype. I'm going to send a picture to the media room. I want to show you something. Merry Christmas. All right, I'm sending this to the broadcast chat. This popped up in my memories. Fasting and prayer from, I think it was 2017. Some of you might have been there before. I had a church, I fasted and prayed and I'd run out the meadows room to teach and then pray if people showed up. Oh wow, that was quick. So there's the little group, 2017. There's me 48 pounds ago. There's Abel on the camera, Magossa's husband. We didn't have any staff, just Magallis and her husband helping out. Never keep that up. Never pay attention to where you're at right now. That's how the devil works. If it's working by now, it will work. Do something else. If you get God's long term vision and understand that it is impossible to sow unto the spirit and not reap a reward from the Spirit. Put that scripture up that I gave as the opening, if you would. Galatians 6, 8. For he who sows to his own flesh the lower nature and sensuality will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction. If you go like if you skip church today to go on a to go binge drink, you're probably not going to die. Binge drinking this morning, you're probably not going to get liver disease. Drinking this morning. That's why being a youth pastor is one of the hardest jobs in the world because everybody's at the initial stage of sin. You take a 17 year old that smokes and drinks and a 17 year old that prays in tongues for an hour every day. They basically look the same because they're 17, but they start looking different at 40. If you had to let, you wouldn't even need the discerning of spirits to take one person that's a spirit filled believer and one that's a binge drinker at 40, you'd get it 100% of the time because you don't harvest immediately. That's how Satan tricked and deceived Adam and Eve. Did God say if you eat the fruit of that tree, you're going to die? Eat it? Ate it. Are you dead? See, he just knew you'd be as wise as he is. The devil always wants you to think short term. Where has it got me now? I've been tithing for over two and a half months and I'm still not a millionaire. I think about put that picture back up if you would. What if back then I thought, you know, at this point I was 17 years into the ministry. I'm 17 years into the ministry. I can barely get 80 people to show up to come hear me preach. I gotta have my brother in law work our one camera and my pregnant wife helped set it up. Where is this getting me? I got a car that I have trouble registering. If the devil can get you short sighted on where you're at now, he can get you to turn back. If you understand from the Bible it is impossible. Be not deceived. God is not mocked.

Caitlin
My name is Caitlin and I have had severe hearing loss since I was five years old. I am almost 42 years old. And I came into this week to serve on altar and to bless others. And I had no intention of trying to receive for myself. But I felt the Lord start to stir in me that what I never thought was possible was within my grasp on Tuesday night. And every night that I've come since, I've just been reaching for the hem of his garment, believing in faith that the impossible for me, which is complete restoration of my hearing could happen. And I sat in service tonight and Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth was like, lift your hands all over this place. And the whole message was about faith and about just believing what the Lord can do and the power of his word and the power of our belief partnering with him. And I just felt hot all over. And I just felt the Lord's presence come upon me. And I just believed that he could heal me, that he wanted to heal me, that he wanted to reward the love that I had for him in my heart. And it was such a beautiful, intimate moment with me and the Lord. And I pulled out my hearing aids and I could hear every single word of everything that Pastor Jonathan was saying. Everybody whispering around me, sounds that I have never heard my whole life I was able to hear clearly. And I just am so thankful for the Lord and His power and the complete healing and restoration. And I can't wait to share this with others.

Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Is that the scripture before or the scripture after? Let me see. Galatians 6, 8. It's 6, 9, right? Let me see. 6, 9 at 7. We're hearing in the crowd. I'm crowdsourcing the text today. Be not deceived. I want you to say this with me. Say, be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a Man sows that shall he also reap. Now, you were probably taught like I was. If you grew up in church, it was all negative. You smoke, you'll get lung cancer. You drink, you'll get liver disease. You get angry with people, you end up having somebody that's bigger than you. You'll lash out at the wrong person one day. That's true. Put Galatians 6, 8 up. If you sow after the lower nature, the flesh. I'm not going to church today. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to eat. When I wake up, I'm going to drink if I feel like it. And if I feel like having sex with somebody today, I'm an adult, I'm going to do it. You can do that, but the Bible says, don't be deceived. Whatever a man sows, that will he reap. If you sow to your lower nature, just like if you plant a flower seed, it's not going to pop up that day, but it is going to pop up. And so you can sow into the flesh. So some don't know about the law of sowing and reaping. It's not karma. The world stole this. This is God's law. The law, everybody say, the law of sowing and reaping. And so if you sow unto the flesh not you might reap corruption unto the flesh, you will reap corruption unto the flesh. Now, most of us, if you went to a traditional church, that's all they taught you. You they taught that you could do bad things and reap bad things. Even people that are anti prosperity, anti blessing, those type of Christians, they believe in that type of sowing. You know, if you do bad things, bad things are going to happen. But the Bible doesn't just leave it on the negative end. The Bible also tells you, just like you can sow to the flesh and reap corruption after the flesh. But he who sows to the Spirit, that's who I'm talking to this morning. He who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap everlasting life. Let me see King James out of curiosity. And let me see NLT after that. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption. But he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. How many have ever heard of Kenneth Hagin? His son's name is Kenneth Hagin Jr. Very easy to remember. He told me the last time I met him, a year ago. He said I was walking to the mall and this guy was having trouble getting out of his vehicle with a walker. So he said I went over and helped him out of the car and stood him up and got him on his walker. And he said, thanks for helping me out. Us old guys got to stick together. Kenneth Hagin Jr. Said, How old are you? He said, I'm 61. Kenneth Hagin Jr. Said%, I'm 87. He's older than he was when Ken Hagin Sr. Went to be with the Lord. So it's not us old guys. The 61 year old was looking older and acting older than the 87 year old. If I could get you this morning intoxicated off of this scriptural fact that there is a way to sow to the Spirit and every day you don't know what seed it was, you don't know what it was you did. But every morning goodness and mercy is popping up and pursuing you all the days of your life. Can I tell you something? That will be your experience on all of 2026. In Jesus mighty name. It's a spiritual law. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the spirit will harvest not might harvest not some. I want you to say something with me. And I know I'm strong for 8 in the morning, but for me it's like 11 last night. Say there's two paths in life. Say there's the natural path which is very difficult. And there's God's path which is filled with his blessings, which is easy. How many know faith doesn't make things easy. No, it kind of does. Can you think of an easier way to get across a body of water than to point a stick across it? That's how Moses did it. The water parted and the ground dried out. His yoke is and his burden is you would be hard pressed. I'm sure they exist. But you're going to be. You're not going to find many churches that are doing more production wise for the kingdom than us. And you won't find anybody happy. You might find somebody more productive, but you won't find anybody happier year or more stress free than this ministry. We didn't have to take the. What's today? December. What? We didn't have to take the 28th off because we're winded from singing hymns on Christmas Eve. Yeah, his yoke is Easy. And his burden is so God not only has a blessing for you see when you get around. My nephew and I went down to Arizona two years ago to a CEO training course. He went with me because we crested 50 employees back then and I thought I probably should know a thing or two about having a workforce. And I'm telling you, it was the first secular thing that I've been to like that and it'll probably be the last one I go to. It was so different from what I've heard from my friends like Jesse Duplantis and being around my father and my Uncle Ted. Everything's effort, everything's striving. And I think because most people have only been around that kind of life, when they hear me talk about blessing and God making you rich, they think I don't need all that stress. I don't need all that trouble. But it's not stress and it's not trouble. The blessing of the Lord. Proverbs 10:22. The blessing of the Lord makes a man and addeth how much sorrow. I'm telling you, the year that God has for you is not just a year of abundant blessing, but a year of stress free. In his presence is fullness of at his right hand pleasures forevermore. Let me see. Job 36:11. Job 36:11. If they obey and serve him, the hymn's God. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in and their years in. If they obey God and serve him, they'll spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure. God never has a plan for you to have a better last year. You don't have to go into this next year like the world. Who knows what 2026 will hold. I don't know what it holds for Russia. I don't know what it holds for Israel. I don't know what it holds for Canada. I don't know what it holds for Pennsylvania. But I know what it holds for me and my house because we serve the Lord. And it's going to be a pleasure filled year and days that are filled with prosperity. Say this with me. My future is not up for grabs. My future has been written in the pages of the Bible. See, if you go into it that way, that's what I did. Everything I did that I felt the spirit of the Lord direct me to do, it's not. Well, let's see if it works. We'll start a church in Pittsburgh, in Texas, Arizona and la. Obviously one of them has to grow. Law of averages. Probably one will fail one will fail. After a little while, one will be okay and one will grow. No. Anything that has God's hand on it is anointed to grow. How much of you, how many fish have you caught? Peter? We worked hard and caught nothing all night. Now I'm going to get involved, go in your boat, launch out into the deep, let down your nets and you'll catch some fish. And what he couldn't do once in an entire night of fishing now he had a different problem. His nets were breaking and his boats were sinking because of the catch of fish. Did you know that those stories in the Bible are not written so that you can see what God did for St. Peter and St. John? If you live back then, he wasn't St. Peter. He was Peter the Bozo. He said one dumb thing after another. Jesus rebuked him. He messed up. These are not people that were walking around with glowing orbs of light on their head called halos like this. They got tired, they got afraid. They were human beings just like me and you. But they decided to obey and serve God with all their heart and all their soul. And the Bible says when you do that, you enter into a spiritual law. They that sow unto the flesh shall reap corruption unto the flesh. But they that sow into the spirit. That's what you are doing. For 35 minutes before I took the mic, the Bible says, I would that ye lift holy hands without wrath or doubting and sing praises unto God. There's an old song we used to sing. When the praises go up, the blessings come down that scriptural because God abides in the praises of his people. Everything that God asks you to do in his word is not for his benefit. It's for your benefit. The Bible is a book of instructions that if you live different, if you'll separate yourself and do what the Word says, I'll put you on a different path. Let me see. Proverbs, chapter 4, verse 1. Proverbs, chapter 4, Verse 1. Do NLT. Here is the word of God. I want you to say this. I'm not having you repeat stuff just for fun or like to work you. I want you. Some people think you're like reading a book that was written to other people. This is what God spoke to the children of Israel. Yes, he did. But then he had it written down for perpetuity. And the Bible says what I say to one, I say to all. God is no key. Let me give you two key scriptures of the Bible and then we'll go back to Proverbs. 4, 1. Let me see. Numbers 23:19. Numbers 23:19. God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he doesn't change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? You will never read something God said in here. Say this with me. This is God's word written to me. So that'll get you out, all the charismatic bozo talk. What do you do when you're not hearing God's voice? Read your Bible out loud. There's no time you ever have to be without God's voice. This is God's word written to you. I can. I can get a word from God anytime I want by reading what he said he would do for me with the conditions attached if I'll do what he said. God is not a man, so he does not lie. He's not a human being, so he never changes his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
