This sounds like something some weirdo that's a preacher would say, but I can only say what I'm told. Right now, an angel is going to your house before you get there and clearing the way. Your house will be different when you come back. Your house won't be a tormenting place or a sad place. God's presence will be in that house.
Congregation/Assistant
Pray.
Jonathan Cahn
That angel would even screw the light bulb tighter so that it'll be brighter in there, not like dingy Jesus name. 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
Congregation/Assistant
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 backwards.
Jonathan Cahn
Now I want to read it one last scripture to you, and then I'm going to leave you alone till what no eye has seen. By the way, this is the theme of what no eye has seen. I announced it this week. I've just been flowing in this faith for the impossible. You don't need faith for what you can do. You need faith for the impossible. And I'm gonna. I've never done this before, but everybody that's speaking this week, I'm gonna tell them. That's the thing I want to hear. I want to hear from Matthew Ash, how he built a church of 12,000 in London. I want to hear from all these guests. I want to hear what God put in Their spirit about faith that'll make a sea become a desert highway with the ground dried up and then close it back in on your enemies. Faith, Bible faith. It's not a box you check on the census form Catholic, Protestant or other. It's a. It's a mountain moving force. It causes Lazarus to get out of his tomb. It causes a heart to go to the right side of the chest.
Congregation/Assistant
It is a power that God gave the church to effortlessly prevail in every battle of life.
Jonathan Cahn
And I tell you a third time
Congregation/Assistant
today, every battle you're going through, you're coming out the other side a champion, whether the devil likes it or not. Believe it. Shout amen like thunder.
Jonathan Cahn
Genesis 26:12. When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more than he planted, for the Lord had blessed him. Genesis 26:1. A severe famine now struck the land. Verse 12. But Isaac sowed in the midst of a famine and reaped a hundredfold. For the Lord had blessed him. He became a very rich man. These people teach that if you're blessed, it manifests itself in riches. And that's just not in the Bible.
Congregation/Assistant
Right there.
Jack Armstrong
Right there.
Jonathan Cahn
Became a very rich man and his wealth continued to grow. Everybody say increase, but how many know it's not money, it's spiritual things. In no. He acquired so many flocks of sheep, goats, herds of cattle and servants that the Philistines envied him. So the Philistines filled up all of Isaac's wells with dirt. Can I see the. The picture of the Friday night in Toronto just to show Everybody we had 43 new people saved on the last night. We had over 100 saved in one week. And it's not a crusade. I don't know where they came from, you know. Yes, that's the altar to get saved. And yes, I am wearing the exact same outfit. I thought I told you to wait in the car. So. Look at that. Room jammed. There was a Punjabi wedding going on in the room behind us. They were playing the music and dancing and beating the drum. It was like a contest, but we won. There's the place packed out with young people getting saved, all kinds of people getting saved. And so we're going to launch the church. September 6th. I think I'm going to go back once a month or so in between. And we already have the Canadian paperwork that went through that's supposed to take 12 to 18 months. We got it by a miracle. I don't have time to share that today. So that'll be church number Five. So now you'll have family in Canada as well as all over the United States. Can you say amen? So they plugged up as wells. I'm not going to keep you here all day. Oh, we broke 600. We're increasing during the service. Praise the Lord. So you think Pastor Michael and Sherry are doing a pretty good job? I know I do. Total blessing. Great job. So when they got mad that he was prospering, they filled in his well. Unrighteous people, when they see the righteous prosper, they don't know what to do to prosper on their own. So they want to fill in your well. That's why we got sued in Pittsburgh. They just didn't like other churches turned us in for having too many people in our building. It's called an attempt to stomp up your well. So I'm preaching on this because I'm not going to keep you here all day. I'm going to pray very shortly. Everybody say, dig another well. So when people see you prosper, they make an attempt to fill in your well. Toronto used to be a home of revival. Kathryn Kuhlman had to went up there to do a nightly healing meeting and had to do two. One at seven and one at 10 because too many people came. And then the devil does a work to fill in the well and stop up the well. That's what. If you have a business, you deal with permit people and permit boards, A lot of them are well stoppers. They just don't like you. Well, that'll never be. As long as I'm on the permit board. That'll never. You'll never build that. Who are you, Scrooge McDuck? Why do you wake up in the morning with a desire to just stop and thwart other people's dreams? But that's life. And so I'm showing this to you because people hear a guy like me preach, they get all cranked up on the inside about increase. And then the first time somebody does something to stop up their well. You know, I used to go to revival today, and they told me I'd increase. But then the permit man said that we couldn't buy the parking lot. And I just realized sometimes it doesn't work. No, you quit. You're not going to find anybody in the Bible that did anything they did without opposition. So God's word doesn't give you power. It's not spiritual marijuana where you smoke it up and just ignore what's going on. It's power to overcome the obstacles of life and there's part of your Abrahamic covenant. Genesis 28:1 4. The Bible says, your enemy will attack you from one direction, but I will make him free flee from you in seven directions. Anybody trying to thwart your progress comes under divine curse.
Congregation/Assistant
Today, in Jesus mighty name, by the Bible,
Jonathan Cahn
can you say amen. So they filled up as well. And they also think that if they take what you have, they can have what you have. But they don't realize when. The reason they stopped it up with dirt was because when they took Isaac's well, it didn't work anymore. They think what you have is your blessing. They think if they seized my plane, which is Everett's plane, it's not even mine, I don't think you should have a jet. Well, good news, I don't. They take your building. That's what Pittsburgh told me when we were in our first building. If you have church on Sunday, we're going to padlock your building and you'll be arrested. Okay, see you Sunday. I read Genesis 26. You don't stop. The last thing you should ever do is quit moving forward. When the devil makes an attempt to get you to back up, that's the time to get in a bulldozer and go a hundred percent in the direction that God called you to go.
Congregation/Assistant
Everybody that's here that's facing opposition today, a power from heaven is loose in your spirit to plow through to the other side.
Jonathan Cahn
This is. Anybody remember 40 Days of Glory in Pittsburgh, the first year of our church in April, I said, we're going to have 40 days of glory. 40 straight days of services. Do you know what that was? That was the week that Pittsburgh said, if you have one more service in that church, we're going to arrest you. So then on Sunday, I said, we're going to have 40 straight days of services. If you're going to go to jail, you might as well really go to jail. Did they ever arrest me? Did they ever padlock the building? No. Did somebody hear about it and get ticked off and give us a bigger building? Did they sue us when we were in that building? Did somebody hear about that and buy more property for us? Did we get kicked out of that one?
Congregation/Assistant
Did somebody hear about that and build us a huge church that seats 1500 going on 3100? Keep going forward. Don't let anybody stop up your will. Keep digging. Keep moving. Somebody shout, dig another well.
Jonathan Cahn
So they filled up his wells. Finally, Abimelech ordered Isaac to leave the country. Deportation. Go somewhere else, he said. For you've become too powerful for us. So Isaac moved away to the Gerar Valley, where he set up their tents and settled down. He reopened the wells his father had dug, which the Philistines had filled in after Abraham's death. Isaac also restored the names Abraham had given them. Isaac's servants also dug in the Gerar Valley and discovered a well of fresh water. But then the shepherds from Gerar came and claimed the spring. This is our water, they said, and they argued over it with Isaac's herdsmen. So Isaac named the well Essek, which means argument.
Congregation/Assistant
Isaac's men then dug another well.
Jonathan Cahn
Everybody said, dig another well. But again, there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitna, which means hostility.
Congregation/Assistant
Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well.
Jonathan Cahn
It was a dig another well. But this time there was no dispute over it.
Congregation/Assistant
Say this out loud.
Jonathan Cahn
If I don't quit, the devil will quit. Pray, I command everything to form right in this child right now. Quickly. Discharge from the nicu.
Testimony Speaker
You
Jonathan Cahn
do it, oh Lord, to confirm your word in Jesus name. Let that baby be a mighty preacher. Did you have your baby last week? Thursday of last week, and just share.
Testimony Speaker
We found out about 20 weeks gestational age that he had a hole in his diaphragm and his stomach. We were told at that time his stomach was in his chest cavity. And they sent us to Cincinnati Children's Hospital because they have a team of specialists there. They wanted to do an experimental surgery. And we said, no, you're not playing with my baby. We believe in God. We don't believe in experimental surgery. So we knew. We knew very early on that it was going to be a battle. They kept telling us his lungs were going to be underdeveloped. His heart was shifted to the right side of his chest, which was really weird when he was born to see his heartbeat on the wrong side of his chest. It was really freaky. Today we found out that God has moved his heart almost back to the center. His right lung is starting to show that it's making some sounds. It's not ready to breathe on its own yet. And I finally have a doctor that is telling me he actually has two lungs, which we've stood on all along. They're calling it a lung nub on his left side. So we're going to call it his little nub. That's going to grow because that's what it will do. He was removed from dialysis yesterday morning. They're looking at taking his. He has a stomach drain because they weren't sure if his stomach was going to work at all. So he has a stomach drain that they're going to let the air into today. And providing that I'm expecting that we're going to hear the air that's going to go through his gut, that's going to come out tonight or tomorrow morning, and they're going to put a feeding tube in so he can start getting my milk in his little body. About 20 weeks gestation, they sent us in for our anatomy scan, and they immediately called us and said, we've called in somebody else for you. And then that person said, oh, by the way, we've called another person. He had almost no diaphragm, so his stomach, 20 weeks gestation, they could see it in the pictures. His intestines, his stomach, his liver and his spleen were taking up all of the place of his left lung. It was pushing his heart to the right side of his chest, his esophagus to the right side of his chest, and he almost had no right lung. Prognosis was extremely grim, at best, 50% chance of life for him. They wanted to do an experimental treatment for him, and we turned it down because God's word says he is healed, he is healthy, he is whole. He spent 128 days in the NICU, and we did the surgery to have his diaphragm repaired. And I told my kids, wait and see, you made room for God. God's going to fill this chest with two whole lungs. Just last week was the first time I saw his left lung and his right lung the same size on the X rays. God is so good. Only God. Today is his birthday.
Jonathan Cahn
Isaac also restored the names Abraham had given them. Isaac's servants also dug in the Gerard Valley and discovered a well of fresh water. But then the shepherds from Gerar came and claimed the spring. This is our water, they said, and they argued over it with Isaac's herdsmen. So Isaac named the well Essek, which means argument. Isaac's men then dug another well. Everybody said, dig another well, but again, there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sit now. Which means hostility. Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. It was a dig another well, but this time there was no dispute over it.
Congregation/Assistant
Say this out loud, if I don't
Jonathan Cahn
quit, the devil will quit.
Congregation/Assistant
That's right. Because perseverance is not a fruit of hell, it's a fruit of the spirit. If you keep going. The devil's not used to do, to react to a Christian that wants to stop there won't be defeated that tightens the deep on their gloves and keeps swinging Shout out, don't quit Shout out dig another well
Jonathan Cahn
dig another one. Then nobody. Then they left him alone. The devil's like, this guy's nuts. The plan in Pittsburgh. Let me read the rest. So he named it Rehoboth, which means open space. For he said, at last, the Lord has created enough space for us to prosper in the land. That's what this new building is for right now in Pittsburgh. Till we outgrow it from no parking to 990 parking spots, industrial park, you know. Then they were still writing in the paper. What do you have to say to the neighbors that are complaining? I said, there's no neighbors. It's in an industrial park. There's one house that's within a mile and a half of it. And he's not complaining. So just tell them to take their medication. People always complain. Complain. You don't even live near the place, you idiot. Idiot. Idiot. If you're here. Hispanic brethren.
Congregation/Assistant
Idiota.
Jonathan Cahn
I know how to insult in many languages. It's the first thing I learned. I already have French covered for Canada. Yeah. Somebody's always complaining. Somebody's always griping. If you let culture or your family or your friends dictate the level of your prosperity, you're not going to go very high in life. There's people that are here that nobody in your family has ever owned a car. They all take the bus. And you're going to be the first one to get a truck. And they're going to, you know, insurance is. You know how much insurance is for that?
Congregation/Assistant
Do you?
Jonathan Cahn
I'm getting a truck.
Congregation/Assistant
I don't want to.
Jonathan Cahn
I don't want to get stabbed on a bus. I'm done with public transportation. I'm not spending two hours more every day away from my family, taking the bus.
Congregation/Assistant
I want faith for a car so I can spend more time with my wife and my child. I'm telling you, you're going to increase and every effort to block your wealth. God's given you a Holy Ghost shovel today to dig that thing up.
Jonathan Cahn
Let me see the scripture. At last. The Lord has given us space to Prosper in this land. 23. And he went up from thence to Beersheba. Keep going. And the Lord appeared unto him that night and said, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham, thy father. Fear not, for I'm with thee and I will bless thee. You know what that means? You think you're blessed now and you're already increasing, but I'm going to bless you more. There is no limit to the amount that God will bless you. And I will multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. And he built an altar there. That's what you're doing today. You had plenty of things you could be doing Sunday morning, but you decided to carve out 2:29:10 as of right now to be in God's house and to hear the word. And you're building altar for God. I'm not worshiping the gods of this world.
Congregation/Assistant
I've come on Sunday to tell God I give you all the glory. You are my portion, you are my blessing.
Jonathan Cahn
You are my strength.
Congregation/Assistant
And as the praises go up, the blessings come back down.
Jonathan Cahn
And called the name of the Lord and pitched his tent there.
Congregation/Assistant
There.
Jonathan Cahn
Isaac's servants dug another well. Once he even had peace and prosperity, he kept digging. Let me see you. Galatians 4. 28. Galatians 4. 28. G A L A T I A N S. Now we. This is New Testament. Now we brethren, as Isaac was. Children of the promise. NLT. Let me see. NLT Galatians 4:28. Oh, you caught it up there. Who's clapping? Chopper? And you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of the promise, just like Isaac was. You know why I'm reading that to you? Because if you don't understand these scriptures, you think we're just reading Bible stories. But when you understand that the Bible says all these things were given to us, as in samples or examples. Say this with me. The devil has no new tricks.
Congregation/Assistant
So when you read how he dealt with Isaac, you read what he does to you. And when you read how Isaac overcame it, you, dear brothers and sisters, are children of that same promise, just like Isaac. What God did for Abraham, what God did for Isaac, what God did for Jacob, what God did for David, what God did for Solomon, he's doing for you. Because you're now under a better covenant.
Jonathan Cahn
Covenant build on better promises.
Congregation/Assistant
I don't hear anybody in here. I'm telling you, you're not like. You might look like everybody else, but you're not like everybody else.
Jonathan Cahn
Can you say amen? And I don't know why I preach this and then get surprised when the Lord speaks to me to dig another well. More than happy with four. It's four more than I intended to have. But now Toronto is another well, and you dig another one. And then I think back that three years ago we got pulled into court and we're on nightly news every night that the devil is trying to shut down our church in Pittsburgh. People in Pittsburgh had to park two miles away and take shuttles. And it was 11 degrees outside, 17 degrees. That should bring the church down to 60 people.
Congregation/Assistant
For that was the devil's plan. The devil has a real plan to block your multiplication and your marriage and destroy your family. But you're not like everybody else. You are children of the promise, just like Isaac. Not only are you getting your well back, you're gonna dig another well. And the devil that tried to shut you down is gonna find out you're anointed to multiply. You're anointed to multiply. You're anointed to multiply.
Jonathan Cahn
Can you say amen? I'm sure whatever devil was assigned to our ministry is under disciplinary review in hell. Because not only did the church in Pittsburgh not shrink, it's jammed. It's now the largest gathering of any church in a service in Pittsburgh in four years. And I'm not. I'm not. I don't. Which is great, but I'm not comparing myself to Pittsburgh. I'm looking at my. My fathers in the Lord, Bishop, I d up on them and seeing what's possible. That one day the Steelers will reroute their games and the Cowboys will stop having games on Sunday because there's too
Congregation/Assistant
many people coming to church and they
Jonathan Cahn
can't get people to come to the stadium.
Congregation/Assistant
We're in revival, my friend. We're digging some wells. We're digging the dirt that the devil put in the wells in Texas, in Pittsburgh, the dirt that he put on Kathryn Kuhlman's ministry, the dirt that he put on FF Osworth. We're taking a Holy Ghost shovel and digging that thing out.
Jonathan Cahn
And so I'm preaching today. One of the reasons I had almost no notes and didn't use them anyway, I wanted to tell you out of my spirit. The devil that's trying to shut down your one well in four and a half years, now there's five. The devil can't determine your destiny unless you believe what he says and repeat what he says. Notice all these testimonies we played. They said, at best, I'll use a walker for the rest of my life. Who are you to tell somebody their future? You can tell somebody they had a stroke. You can't tell them they'll never talk again. That's called prophecy. You can't tell what the future is. But the Bible holds your future.
Congregation/Assistant
And the Bible doesn't hold a bad future for you, it says if you're mine. I know the plan I have for you, says the Lord. I know the plan I have for you. Plans to prosper you and never to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jonathan Cahn
So check this out. And I close, close with this. Toronto opens up as I'm trying to finish the Pittsburgh church. We still have 4 million to go on that. Where's my other pages up there? Are there pages on this? Can somebody run to me real quick? I know it's not part of your job, but God will bless you. Thanks, brother. So remember I said, I want to go to Venezuela as soon as you can. When I went to rededicate America, 250 leaders from Venezuela and Colombia met me there and said, we have a plan to reach 8 million people. The President backs it in 300 cities on August 1st, and we'd like you to be there. We'd like you to do one city and Adonis to do another city. And so there's that. We're going to take in shipping containers of food. Everybody said, number one. Yeah. Then you got Toronto number two. And then you got. A guy calls me two weekends ago and says there's a building near where your building meets right now that they're going to put on the market. But the guy likes your church. And he said, if Jonathan wants it for the church, he said, if I sell it to developers, I'm gonna sell it for 8.5 million, which is what it appraised for. But if Jonathan wants it, I want to work something out with him where we can get him in, which he's not, you know, he's still got to pay. And that's where I got the theme, because the old businessman I was talking to, when he said that to me, I said, well, I'm still doing phase two in Pittsburgh. And then the Lord just started, spoke to me to do this one in Toronto. But when that came out of my mouth, I didn't like the tone of voice that came out. It sounded like people I don't like. I said, but who cares? And the old guy said, that's right. You don't need faith for what you can do. You need faith for the impossible. And so at 4:00 clock today, I'm going to look at the properties. I can't remember how many acres it is. About 5, which is in a zillion. It's right near here. And so five acres, 50,000 square foot building. Obviously we can use it in tandem with this. I'm not saying People are watching from here. But it would give us permanence and an owned building for a church that's multiplying rapidly. 50,000. I think it would build out to 41,000 square feet. That's just slightly smaller than the one in Pittsburgh. And so I'm looking at that at four while doing Toronto and while doing this. If the Bible's not true, you'll know because I'll be on a park bench covered in newspaper in about 20 days. But ever since that crusade in Philadelphia, I've been out on a tightrope walking on the water with Jesus bidding me come. And the Word is holding me up on that water. And the waves that should be drowning us aren't drowning us because we're held up by the word of God. Can you say Amen? I wrote this down. I want everybody in Pittsburgh to hear it and everybody here. I want you to be the first to know. Three major doors just swung open at the same time. Number one, a miracle in Canada. In early May, I felt strongly to go to Toronto for one night with only nine days notice. The response was so overwhelming that if the venue hadn't stretched to accommodate us, they let our people sit in the lobby, we would have had to turn away more than 140 people. What was supposed to be one night turned into a full week because there was an unmistakable momentum there. The same kind we felt in Fort Worth and Los Angeles before those works launched. The challenge was obvious. You can't effectively run a Canadian church from an American office. Government processing alone would take 12 to 18 months. Then something happened that I've honestly never seen before. Before we ever arrived to preach, a pastor had already contacted us saying he felt strongly to hand his church completely over to Revival Today. That changed everything overnight, all the paperwork and everything. Instead of losing momentum waiting a year and a half, we were able to move immediately. And last night, we officially announced Revival today, Toronto launching Sunday, September 8th at 10am church number five and our first international location number two, a permanent home in Texas. A pastor in. A past, a pastor in Fort Worth, was preparing to sell his beautiful property to developers for millions. Before signing anything, he reached out to us first. His words were simple. I'd rather see it stay at church. Not only did he offer us the opportunity, first he offered to work with us to make it happen at a greatly reduced price. This property is exactly where we need to be. It gives Revival Today Texas permanence, stability and room for continued growth.

Yes. Listen to Armstrong and Yeti on Demand on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
In this dynamic episode, evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth delivers a sermon-like address focused on the power of unwavering faith—in particular, “faith for the impossible”—and the biblical directive to persist in the face of adversity. Drawing from the story of Isaac in Genesis 26, Shuttlesworth uses the metaphor of “digging another well” to advocate resilience, spiritual boldness, and expectation for divine increase. The narrative is enriched with personal testimonies, ministry updates, and an unfiltered commentary on cultural and religious opposition.
On Perseverance: “Perseverance is not a fruit of hell, it's a fruit of the Spirit. If you keep going. The devil's not used to...a Christian that...keeps swinging.”
(Jonathan Shuttlesworth, 15:48)
On Faith and Cultural Limitation: “If you let culture or your family or your friends dictate the level of your prosperity, you're not going to go very high in life.”
(Jonathan Shuttlesworth, 17:15)
On Ministry Expansion: “One of the reasons I had almost no notes and didn’t use them anyway, I wanted to tell you out of my spirit. The devil that’s trying to shut down your one well—in four and a half years, now there’s five. The devil can’t determine your destiny unless you believe what he says and repeat what he says.”
(Jonathan Shuttlesworth, 23:16)

Jonathan Shuttlesworth’s episode challenges listeners to maintain resolute faith for the impossible, to refuse surrender when confronted with life’s obstacles, and to anticipate divine increase. By paralleling biblical narratives with contemporary church challenges, he urges the Real America’s Voice community to seize their spiritual inheritance, keep “digging wells” despite opposition, and live as people of promise and perseverance.
For listeners seeking motivation to overcome setbacks, expand their vision of possibility, and witness faith in action, this episode offers both theological depth and practical application—highlighted by engaging testimony and expanding ministry impact.
