Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Transformative Power of Testimonies

• Miraculous Healings and Deliverance

  • Multiple speakers share personal accounts of extraordinary healing and life-turnarounds attributed to faith and prayer, reinforcing the program’s core message of hope.

  • Tristan's Testimony:

    • After suffering a mental and physical health crisis induced by unnecessary medication, Tristan describes how listening to Pastor Jonathan’s sermons brought deliverance from "screaming demonic voices" and restored his peace and clarity. Later, prayer over a work project led to unexpected professional breakthroughs and provision.
    • "The day after that, there was a Jonathan Shuttlesworth sermon that popped up on YouTube. And I listened to that. And it's the only thing that stopped all the screaming demonic voices." (03:32)
    • "Now I'm completely healed. The Lord's opened major doors of provision. There’s only good things ahead." (05:00)

  • Carli Johnson’s Miracle Survival:

    • Carli describes surviving a suicide attempt and stabbing injury that should have been fatal, with doctors declaring her rapid healing miraculous. The experience led to a dramatic lifestyle change, newfound faith, and ongoing sobriety.
    • "They told my dad and my sister they have no idea how I'm alive. The doctors there said it was a miracle." (17:58)
    • "I've been sober completely from everything, smoking, drinking for eight and a half months now...I never knew this I could be the best version of me and who he wanted me to be." (19:18)

  • Christina’s Deliverance from Depression:

    • Christina testifies to an immediate, supernatural lifting of depression after attending worship and receiving prayer, reinforcing the claim that the Word and presence of God alone bring healing—“churches without the Word and Holy Spirit become referral centers.”
    • "When Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth prayed for me, I felt like a weight lifted off me." (21:51)
    • Pastor Jonathan clarifies, "The only reason I said, whoever you are, stand up…She was already getting free from the word and then just stood up. And God put a giant exclamation point at the end." (22:02–22:26)

---

2. The Power and Responsibility of Speech

• Impact of Faith-filled vs. Negative Words
  • The hosts emphasize that what we speak over ourselves and others has real spiritual and practical consequences.
  • Pastor Jonathan lampoons the common “one day at a time” approach to addiction, instead boldly claiming total, immediate freedom and using his own experiences and his father's miraculous recovery as illustrations.
    • "You have to take it one day at a time. Want to know something? I'm not taking my speech therapy thing one day at a time. My mouth's healed." (05:37)
    • "You sound like a nut when you start talking faith and everything looks the opposite." (05:57)
  • Discussion on how societal and even Christian environments often prophesy doom and lack, subtly shaping expectations for suffering and limitation.
    • "Everybody you're around is that Uber driver. Everybody you're around is that fourth grade teacher at Christian school…some of you, almost 100% of the people you're around are gonna tell you the exact opposite of what I'm telling you." (12:50)
    • Pastor Michael adds, "For all the hundreds of people that you have had and will have tell you that you can't have victory, I came to tell you on the word of God, if you'll be bold and courageous, meditate on the word, speak the word, refuse to fear, refuse to be dismayed, you will have every single promise." (14:13)

3. The Role of Faith in Breaking Negative Cycles

• Rejecting Limiting Beliefs and Generational Patterns
  • Hosts and speakers confront deeply negative, culturally ingrained narratives, especially regarding poverty and sickness.
  • Illustrative Story: Pastor Jonathan recounts his Christian school teacher foretelling a grim adult life, and contrasts this with his daughter's skepticism toward negative “prophetic” life scripts, praising her for discernment.
    • "That made me so happy that at 9, she has the ability to go, that's bull crap. If that happened to you...don't tell me that's going to be how it happens to me." (10:47)
  • Pastor Michael exhorts: "It only takes one person in a family to say enough is enough. I'm going to have what God said belongs to me." (14:40, 14:52)

---

4. The Promise of the Word and Power of Expectation

• Scriptural Foundation for Victory and Blessing

  • Repeated affirmation that believers are entitled to every promise in Scripture, not just selective blessings.
    • Pastor Jonathan: "The Bible's not a Las Vegas buffet...You're gonna have everything that God prepared on that table for you in the presence of your enemies." (15:18)
  • Pastor Michael: "You will have Deuteronomy 28. You will experience...every, not some, not 7 out of 10." (15:05, 15:18)

• Childlike Faith

  • Story of a child giving his last $20 as a seed for a new house—against all odds, the prayer is answered, reinforcing expectancy.
    • Pastor Jonathan: "Everybody say, childlike faith...Put it in the envelope and wrote on the children's church...for a house...She had no way to get that amount. She said, I'll have it by Friday…They walked in, the owner went straight over to her and told the kids, go pick out your rooms." (28:15–29:20)

---

5. The Church Community as a Place for Radical Change

• Contrast with Secular and Ineffective Religious Institutions

  • Hosts sharply critique churches that lack demonstrable spiritual power, calling them “referral centers.”
  • Pastor Jonathan: "Churches that don't have the Word and don't have the power of the Holy Ghost are just referral centers for people's problems." (16:16)
  • Pastor Michael: "But Jesus never referred anybody...He is the same yesterday, today and forever. What he did for others, he's doing for you right now." (16:56)

• Worship and Praise as Vehicles for God’s Presence

  • Worship, the hosts argue, is key to God's manifest presence, which makes deliverance and transformation possible for any visitor.
    • Pastor Michael: "God abides. Angels attend to your prayers, but God attends to your praise." (21:11–21:16)

Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

  – Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth (05:37)

[Tristan (Testimony Speaker)]

Hey, my name is Tristan. So last March, I had surgery for a tor bicep tendon. Had surgery. Surgery went good. They drilled into my bone to reattach my bicep tendon. And they put me on arthritis drugs, those drugs, for a month. I was having an allergic reaction to it, but I didn't know that I was. So I was hallucinating. I would see, like, my pen spinning out of the core of my vision. Then I would look, and it was just stationary. So after about a month, I called my doctor. I was like, this doesn't seem right. Like, can I stop taking these drugs? And he's like, oh, yeah, like you didn't even need those in the first place. I stopped taking the drugs cold turkey. And that night, my brain broke. Like, I was hearing screaming demonic voices that would not stop. It was terrifying. I. I don't know how to explain it. I actually ended up in the emergency room twice because of that. Because my blood pressure was at 157 and they gave me the highest dose of anxiety medication. I was taking those, and they still weren't doing anything. I just had this, like, this cold pit in my heart that wouldn't go. It was terrifying. I thought I was going to die. And then the day after that, there was a Jonathan Shuttlesworth sermon that popped up on YouTube. And I listened to that. And it's the only thing that stopped all the screaming demonic voices. And I was able to sleep for the first time in days. I slept through the whole night listening to that sermon on repeat 24 7. And I listened to it for about three days straight. And on the third night, I just remember, it's like I felt the presence of the Lord and it just broke off me. It was like warm honey washed over my mind. And there was just a shift in the spirit. And ever since that day, moving forward, everything just got clear.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Like the.

[Tristan (Testimony Speaker)]

The voices stopped. I was able to start sleeping well again. I have a second testimony that's completely unrelated. So Jonathan was in Oklahoma last year, and I went there and I worked in media for about 10 years. And I had a project that I was trying to look for financing and funding for. And I brought a poster. I made three posters and I brought one of them to Pastor Jonathan and he just prayed over me. He asked the Lord to open doors for provision for this project for favor. About a month after that, the Lord lined me up with investors and a team. And now I have a team of artists. We're working on our project to pitch the studios. We got an agent last week, so in May of next year, we'll be pitching to Lionsgate, Dreamworks, Sony, and we'll be bringing a film pitch to studios. So now I'm completely healed. The Lord's opened major doors of provision. There's only good things ahead.

[Pastor Michael]

We are raising up a family in this church. We're raising up a family in Pittsburgh.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

We're raising up a family in Texas

[Pastor Michael]

that don't just know about God, they know God. They've handled his power. They've seen his power flow through them. You're coming out of here today carrying fresh fire, fresh anointing never to take another backward step.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

You can't run from trauma. You have to run to a vision. I've been free from alcohol for 15 years, 8 months, 13 days, 7 hours, 11 minutes, 6 seconds. You don't sound free. You sound like you're on a long chain. You have to take it one day at a time. Want to know something? I'm not taking my speech therapy thing. One day at a time. My mouth's healed. My mouth moves faster than my brain works. My legs are healed. My dad's up out of his deathbed. You sound like a nut when you start talking faith and everything looks the opposite. My dad looked like a prison camp survivor 50 pounds later than he is right now. Skin and bones drawn in dead looking face. He's gonna need 24 hour care for at least a year. And my dad whispers out, christians heal faster. There was a built in resistance in his gut.

[Pastor Michael]

I don't receive that report. I'm not finished yet.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Amazing with all the backlash there is about death and life, beating, the power of the tongue, even heathen people. When a car crashes, the double yellow lines is going to hit them. Shout out Jesus. No one has ever almost gotten an accident.

[Pastor Michael]

When Buddha,

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Siddhartha, Guantana,

[Pastor Michael]

Shiva, Muhammad.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

No, even the Arabs shout Jesus. There's something built into people and they work you overtime in public school. They work you with $10 trillion of

[Pastor Michael]

Viacom backed programming to get you to subvert the nature of God. Because everyone was created in his image. But you know what? That's the great thing about preaching is

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

you can get 600 Mexicans in a

[Pastor Michael]

stadium that have never heard that before.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

And when you start talking it, they start crying.

[Pastor Michael]

The man takes his hat off and puts it over his heart because it's deep on. The word is nigh thee. It is on your lips and in your heart. That is the word of faith that we preach.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

When I. They have a. They have a coffee shop called Dutch Brothers. They're here, too. But they have one in Denver and the one I went to, I had a flashback when I went there. Not an acid flashback. I just remembered from 2023, the first time I was in. In Colorado Springs, and I took an Uber to the coffee place with Camila. We're sitting in the back. Sometimes you get an Uber driver that thinks he's Socrates reincarnated. They just start giving you life lessons and what they've learned. So, you know, I was sitting quiet. Guy's like, well, you find out in life you plan things one way, and a lot of times they don't go how you plan. Camila reaches her hand over what would she have been, nine, goes like this. I was like, you know. You know, everybody wants to sit out and have a happy marriage, but, you know, things go sideways. A lot of times they're out of your control. Puts her hand tighter into my thigh. You know, I've been dealing with some physical challenges. You know, sometimes you think you're going to live a long time when you're a kid, but then you get older and life has a funny way. She's tapping me at this point, like, wants me to rebuke her. I don't want to hear this. I never said anything. So we got out at the coffee shop, and Camilla's walking with me, deep in thought, and goes, hey, Pa, I don't know that a lot of what he said would be scriptural. Like, I was talking to my Pentecostal great grandma, Louise Crawford. In fact, if she keeps talking like that, I'm gonna get her hair in a tight perm power, wash the makeup and earrings off of her face, give her some dirty white sneakers and a jean dress. I don't know that what she. He said was exactly scriptural. You know, that made me so happy that at 9, she has the ability to go, that's bull crap. If that happened to you, I'm sorry, and I'd be happy to pray for you, but don't tell me that's going to be how it happens to me. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Okay. Good. Now I know what to do. I've told you that story before, where I got pulled out into the hallway in Christian school for laughing in class, which is a problem I've always had. And the more I try to stop, the more I do it. So my teacher, think of it, 23 years old, who talked to a child like this. It's like demonic. At Christian school. What are you laughing about? I said, I'm sorry. I really am sorry. You know, you're 10, fourth grade, you're 10, and life seems funny. One day you're going to get older, you're going to have a wife. I don't like the tone of voice that you're saying that. Yeah, but it's not going to be you. So I'm in the clear. One day you're going to get older, you're going to have what? This is what she said to me. You're going to have a wife, you're going to have children, you're going to have bills, and you're going to find out life's not so funny. And so, like Camila, I had started reading the Bible every year on the One Year Bible, as soon as I could read, because it was the 1980s and we got three channels. My dad was one of the few Pentecostal preachers that let us have a tv. And I don't even know why we had it. We weren't allowed to watch anything. Turn that off. Turn that off, too. Turn the whole thing off. That's all three channels. So I just started reading the Bible just out of boredom.

[Pastor Michael]

And one thing.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

When you had God's Word in your heart, like Camila, when somebody starts saying crap from hell and prophesying wrong things over your life, it's like a red siren goes off. And I didn't have enough sense back then to keep my mouth shut. So I put my hands up on my waistband and my oshkosh Bagash corduroys, and I said, that's not true. Well, you know when someone's reprimanding you and you tell them that's not true, that's not the way to smooth things over. What do you mean it's not true? I said, bible says a merry heart doeth good like a medicine. That's not what it means. That's what everybody who doesn't know the Bible says. When you tell them what a scripture plainly says, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke with other tongues. That's not what it means. No, that's pretty much what it Means? That's not what it means. So I said, what else could it mean? And that's when she said that thing to me about. That's when she. She went into that diatribe about how rough my life's gonna be. Now, I'm not saying this. I hope she's not watching. I'm making a point. She got married a couple years after that. Guess. Guess whether she's still married or whether it ended in divorce. You know why? Because it was divorced before she got married.

[Pastor Michael]

She was set up.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

That marriage was gonna be hard. Reason children are gonna be hard. Heard you're pregnant. If any of you get pregnant, you're gonna hear this. You're going on vacation with your husband. Cause once that little demon's born, you'll never sleep again. Hey, thanks for the pep talk, Lucifer. Everybody, from the time you leave here till the time you come back next Sunday, some of you, almost 100% of the people you're around are gonna tell you the exact opposite of what I'm telling you. Everybody you're around is that Uber driver. Everybody you're around is that fourth grade teacher at Christian school. My daughter's dealing with it at school now. Oh, you go to that church where they tell you you're going to be rich. The lady actually took a whole class at Bible class to tell people about the air of the health and wealth teachings of the Bible, that it's a cult. And she said these people teach that you're to be wealthy. But God doesn't make people wealthy. It's like, hey, genius. You realize you're teaching in a private Christian school where the tuition is 11,000 a year. Every single person you're teaching to comes from a wealthy home. So either the devil made everyone rich so they could go to Christian school, or you are a moron. I go with option two. If you're discouraged, keep it to your freaking self. But you're a demonic person to sit a room full of sixth graders down

[Pastor Michael]

and tell them they can't be healed. And they let me tell you something. For all the hundreds of people that you have had and will have, tell you that you can't have victory. I came to tell you on the word of God, if you'll be bold and courageous, meditate on the word, speak the word, refuse to fear, refuse to be dismayed. You will have every single promise. There won't be one thing that's written in this book that won't come to

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

pass in your life.

[Pastor Michael]

Can I tell you another thing? It only takes One person in a family to say, enough is enough.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

I'm going to have what God said belongs to me.

[Pastor Michael]

You are going to have not belief, not speak.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Those are the vehicles that bring it.

[Pastor Michael]

You will have Deuteronomy 28. You will experience. Can you say amen every, not some, not 7 out of 10.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

The Bible's not a Las Vegas buffet

[Pastor Michael]

where you pick some Chinese food, pick some crab legs, leave the peas. You're gonna have everything that God prepared on that table for you in the presence of your enemies. Your cancer is dying now. Your eyes are coming clear now. Your blood is being healed now. The devil is a liar. God's word is true. God's word is true. God's word is true.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Put the lady up from LA that got saved and Kofi helped her out.

[Christina (Testimony Speaker)]

Hi, my name is Christina. I've been coming for a while now and actually today I wasn't gonna come because I was really tired and it was real unusual. I even felt like it was depression. I feel like depression.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Keep her picture up. If a person like that walks into 90% of the churches in Dallas, they can't help them. They can sit and listen, but then they're gonna. They can. I. We have a. Can I recommend a counselor to you? Churches that don't have the Word and don't have the power of the Holy Ghost are just referral centers for people's problems. I know a kidney specialist. I know a cancer specialist. I've been popping up pictures for the last year of people that the best cancer specialist said, you're screwed. The best kidney specialist. Let me tell you something. They find a tumor on your pancreas, it's over. Doesn't matter whether you have Joe Biden's healthcare package or section 8 healthcare package, there is nothing they can do.

[Pastor Michael]

But Jesus never referred anybody. He traveled with a doctor named Luke. And he said, just write down how you see the great physician work. And I've got good news. Jesus Christ has not changed. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. What he did for others, he's doing for you right now. What he's done for others, he's doing

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

for you right now.

[Carli Johnson (Testimony Speaker)]

Hi, my name's Carli Johnson. I'm from Imperial, Pennsylvania and I'm here to tell my testimony. I was in an 11 year abusive relationship, physically and mentally. I did a lot of drinking, wasn't really living the best life, did a lot of partying. March 3rd of 2024. I ended up trying to take my life. There was a 4.6 inch blade that went into my chest, punctured a hole in my lung, and I was bleeding out. When I ended up at the hospital, my sister actually went to Pastor Jonathan's church that day and he was teaching about you will live and not die. And when she seen me bleeding out on the table when I was getting surged, when they were putting a tube in my lung, she kept praying that prayer over and over again. They end up putting a tube in my lung. They told my dad and my sister, they said if I were to hit an artery that I would be dead by now. So I was in the ICU for two days and I was waiting to get surgery to get the blood clots out. When I went into surgery, they found out that I did hit an artery and I was bleeding out slowly for two days and I was a fourth of a centimeter away from my heart. They told my dad and my sister they have no idea how I'm alive. That it was. The doctors there said it was a miracle. And during the time my grandma was calling revival to get prayers because she didn't know what was going on and she heard I was bleeding out. She ended up going to the office, Patton Drive, and ended up Pastor Abraham suddenly was there on a day that he wasn't supposed to be there. And my grandma asked for prayer and he didn't know the situation and he was praying that whatever she's bleeding out, whatever's going on, that it will be stitched up and it will be healed up in Jesus name. My surgery was a complete success. They cauterized my artery two, three days later. I stopped taking pain medication. They told me that they'd never seen anyone heal that fast. After I got out of the hospital, I went to church. The following Sunday, I got out of my relationship and I found Jesus. Because of that, he saved my life. I've never felt so loved in my entire life. I never knew this I could be the best version of me and who he wanted me to be. I've been sober completely from everything, smoking, drinking for eight and a half months now. And I didn't think it was possible. I really tried everything I could do except for going to Jesus and putting my everything to Him. And I've never been happier in my entire life. I didn't come to Jesus because I had an easy life. I went to Jesus because he showed me that my life was worth living.

[Christina (Testimony Speaker)]

Mission was creeping up on me. Anyways, I came here and the. The even the worship was. I could feel like the. A shifting the way I felt Pastor Jonathan.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

That's why we got Pastor Michael and Pastor Sh. The. The team's just getting like, stronger. All the singers and musicians. Cuz it's not. It's not music to bore people to death. I was at a church few times back. That's why I started coming just in time to preach. I'd be three songs in, looking for a ceiling beam strong enough to support my body weight and a rickety stool, when the music fades and all has slipped away. Are you okay? Can you try to not sing like somebody hit you with a horse tranquilizer? If you tell your wife you love her with that much passion, the marriage ain't gonna last that long. I love you. I just really love you. Quit talking in a breathy voice. What are you, Elizabeth Taylor from 1963? How many are glad you go to a church where we enter his gates with thanksgiving in our heart, come into his courts with praise. Lift him up.

[Pastor Michael]

Because when you do, God abides. Angels attend to your prayers, but God

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

attends to your praise.

[Pastor Michael]

When you praise him, he abides in the praises of his people. Then addicts can walk in. People with suicidal thoughts can walk in. And I feel something different in here. God is here. He's amongst his people today. Continue.

[Christina (Testimony Speaker)]

Sweets and Pastor Kofi both hit about

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Depress that says Sweets over top of her eyebrow. So I assumed it's her name. And I. I said, hey, nice to have your sweets after the Foottime Shoe. That's my street name. I said, it's also the name you have tattooed over your head. So that's what I'm going with. Continue.

[Christina (Testimony Speaker)]

And they. They said about the joy of the Lord and how it's our strength. And when Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth prayed for me, I felt like a weight lifted off me. And I deliberate.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Can I tell you something? That part she has wrong. The weight had already lifted off of her. I could. The only reason I said, whoever you are, stand up. She had come from the park that's close to the church in la. Like a trash park. Stand up. I see the Lord has already lifted your burden. All I did was confirm what Jesus already did. There was no back room prayer or anything. She was already getting free from the

[Pastor Michael]

word and then just stood up. And God put a giant exclamation point at the end. And he's going to do that for 600 people today in Texas and 900 in Pittsburgh. If you believe it, shout Amen like thunder. Man, I feel good. Congratulations in advance on the best year that you've ever had. Hey, hey.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Continue. That scripture came to me while we were singing your sins. Jesus said, though they were many have been wiped out. And now God's going to put his spirit on the inside.

[Pastor Michael]

You're going to be used mightily.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Does she look bound? That's why I'm not being humble. I'm telling you the truth. She was already free. The Word set her free. There's a song we used to sing called the Word Is Working Mightily in Me. Say out loud, the Word is working mightily in me. You know, when you start getting a sniffle or a scratchy throat, you're not. You don't start getting concerned because you have a little bit of a sniffle and a scratchy throat. It's what it could progress to cause. You know, that bad thing, if left unchecked, will become a worse thing when the word of God enters it. The Bible calls it the seed of his Word. Whatever you get right now and whatever you're leaving with, that's not the end.

[Pastor Michael]

It's going to keep multiplying and growing and multiplying.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

You're going to rush into your Monday blessed. You'll come into your Tuesday more than a conqueror.

[Pastor Michael]

You'll come into your Wednesday triumphing in all things. What you're getting now is not the end. This is only the beginning of a new life in Christ. You're casting off the old man and putting on the new man.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Continue.

[Pastor Michael]

I feel like when you first started

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

coming, the devil tried to lie to you. Like this is other people's thing. Who do you think you are, sitting here? You think you're gonna make it, but God has proved his word true.

[Pastor Michael]

You're doing great. You're going from victory to victory.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

And it's never gonna see her bouncing. I watched T.L. osborne preach. Somebody out of a wheelchair one time, never touched them. It's getting in your bones. It's getting in your spine. Shimmy. He used the word shimmy. Shimmying in and reconnecting your discs. Just kept talking faith parked in front of them. I've watched. I watched Shambach do it. I've watched all kinds of people do it. They'd find the most ill beat up person in the room and just stand in front of them and preach. Because they knew. Get them right in the blast zone. Get the spit on them when they're saying their P's and S's, popping it and popping it and popping it. And you saw her. All I'm saying is positive. You know, I could say negative things and crush you. You get phone calls this week. If you don't, I mean, I'd recommend you do what I did. I got a new phone number at the beginning of the year. It's the most peaceful year I ever had. I kept hearing all during the year, so and so's trying to get ahold of you. But excellent. Tell them to keep trying. Cause there's phone calls you can take that when that person's done speaking. Somebody might as well have taken a Wiffle ball bat and hit you in the stomach. I need to lay down. Why? Are you okay? Aunt Sally just called. I was. It's 9:30am I'm going back to bed. So. If unbelief filled words can suck the strength out of you, then faith filled words can put the power of God. I'm telling you, they redid this video. I didn't see this. I forgot about, you know. She's in church for the first time and you're prophesying. Though your sins are many, God's wiped them all away. You're going to make it. This isn't other people's. How many of you have had kids 5 or younger before? You know, isn't it fun to just make them bounce? You can get them so excited, they're almost like an explode. I used to Camila, all the time, for my own amusement. I go, hey, Camila, do you want to have some fun? Yeah. Do you really want to have some fun? Or are you just saying you want to have some?

[Pastor Michael]

No, I want to have fun.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

What do you think instead of going to dinner, if. Instead we go get ice cream, then go to the slides, and then I push you, then we go get in the car.

[Pastor Michael]

Yeah.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Yeah. You know how you do that with kids? Just about ice cream and swings. When you start speaking the word. She can't even stand still. She's not Pentecostal. She's not reformed. She's off the street. But the faith of God is firing

[Pastor Michael]

into her and you can't stand still. That's why they used to call them holy rollers. That's why they used to run the aisles. Because the faith of God was so infecting their body, they couldn't stand still. You're gonna run through a troop, you're gonna leap over a wall. You're coming out the other side with the victory. I want you for 30 straight seconds

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

to do what the Bible says.

[Pastor Michael]

Clap your hands, all ye people. Shout unto God. The shout of the Lord is in the camp. The shout levels the walls. Hallelujah. Good luck to the devil, good luck, he's already gone. The devil is defeated.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Jesus Christ is king of kings and Lord of Lords. Keep that up for a little bit. You know, there's a lady in California, you can be seated on the 21st day of the fast or on the 21 day fast. The first week of the 21 day fast. You know, she's believing for breakthrough and stuff. The she gets a notice from her landlord that they're evicting her. That's a nice. And she said when that happened, something just rose up in me. I thought then we're going to get a better place. She said, we didn't have enough money to get the place anything. And her kid heard her talking like that. Eight years old, I think took their $20, which is all they had. We didn't tell her, I'm not saying this. Trying to get breakthrough offerings from 8 year olds. I'm telling you what happened. Took his $20, put it in the offering envelope. And his mom said, he heard you speak because we had on about naming your seed. And don't just give. Give with an expectation here they're getting evicted. Heard his mom say, we need help. Put it in the. Everybody say, childlike faith. I don't like that. I'll fly you to California. You can tell them how you don't like it. But I'm telling you what he did. Put it in the envelope and wrote on the children's church. Said wrote on the envelope for a house. They went to a showing. She felt led to go to this showing of this beautiful house that was way out of their price range that they were leasing. Eight other families were there. Owner walked straight over to the mom, who are you? Tell me about your family. Are you qualified? What if I knock down the price? Can you get this amount by Friday? She had no way to get that amount. She said, I'll have it by Friday. It came in by Wednesday. They walked back into the second showing with five families. When they walked in, the owner went straight over to her and told the two kids, including the one that had put the money in the offering, go pick out your rooms in front of all the other families that were there to view it. Show's over. God heard that kid's request.

[Pastor Michael]

I'm telling you, never get in a mindset that the way things have been

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

is how they're always going to be. I want to tell you in the ministry there's tons of pastors like that. We have 400 people we take in. You know, we don't take in the kind of money you take in and you never will because of your stupid mouth.

[Pastor Michael]

It's not about where you are.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

We're in the country. Doesn't matter. He said he'd bless you in the country. He said we're in the city. The price is higher. He said he'd bless you in the city.

[Pastor Michael]

He said he'd bless you when you come in and bless you when you go out. I was in the same shape as you, but I made up my mind. I don't consider myself poor. I am the child of the most high God and every promise in that book, Hallelujah.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

It encouraged me when that guy jumped up and started yelling at me in Denver.

[Pastor Michael]

He know that devil could not stay

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

still with me walking by because I'm too full of this word. Could spot. There are times I'm in downtown Denver, not on a country path where the good Samaritan was tons of people walking by when I. I wasn't wearing a cross, I was in street clothes.

[Pastor Michael]

There you think you are. Yeah.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

Oh, nice to see you, Lucifer. I remember you from India. Nice to see you made it to Denver. Yeah. I might look like everybody else, but in the spirit, I'm not like everybody

[Pastor Michael]

else because I made a decision. I believe God's word. Let me tell you something. They might think you're a normal woman, a normal man. You're not. You have something on the inside of you called the everlasting, unbroken seed of God's word. You're gonna make it. The battle is not yours.

[Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth]

The battle is the Lord's.

[Hyundai/Podcast Host (Bobby Bones)]

Hey, it's Bobby Bones. You know, Eddie and I recently stopped by. Yeah, in Nashville. It's an incredible nonprofit empowering kids through music education. Thanks to Hyundai, we recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. How do you think learning an instrument helps kids with confidence?

[Carli Johnson (Testimony Speaker)]

Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are and be comfortable with it and then share a little bit about that with others. And if it's done in an environment that is celebrating and championing them, then that confidence can only go up.
