Ministry Testimonial Speaker
I had three months to live. They told us on Wednesday in the medical center that I was gonna die. And something hit me, and I stood up and I said, I serve a great big God, and I'm gonna live and not die. On Friday night, we were right here with that man standing right there, and he walked down that aisle, and he didn't know me from Adam. And I had said, lord, if you're gonna take me out, let's do it now. If not, my purpose is not finishing this life. I need a touch. And he stopped by there, didn't know me, and laid his hand right on my chest. And he said, lord, don't repair it. Make it brand new. And immediately, I could feel heat from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Went back to the medical center and told them what happened. They said, oh, well, hey, you're going across the street to the guy that invented the PET scan, and we're gonna check your heart. I go back a week later, he walked in this time, didn't get him his clinics. He took the chart, threw it in Florida. And he said, we can't find that heart attack, and we can't even find the paperwork. Now I'm in the ministry in Guthrie, Oklahoma, working with Teen Challenge prison ministry. And I got to Sunday school for the whole church on Sunday morning. And this man started it all right here. And then the good Lord changed my life.
Pastor Jonathan
I know guys in Texas don't like hugging other guys, but make an exception for me. Love you. God bless you. 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 them. You're coming out of here today carrying fresh fire, fresh anointing, never to take another backward step. Number four. Matthew 16:18. And I say unto thee that thou art Peter. And upon this rock, I'll build my church. And I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Number four. Big churches destroy the gates of hell. When big churches are doing the work of the church, getting people saved, getting people baptized, it automatically there's not a desire for fentanyl. There's. I mean, everything's falling off a cliff right now in America, People identifying as transgender, almost zero. LGBTQ identification at college has dropped back down below 2%. Lowest level since, like, the 80s. Because where righteousness flourishes, there's two forces. At nighttime, if you shut all these lights off, I bet you it's pitch black in here. But if you turn a light on, the light doesn't have to pray or fast. Light drives out darkness, and a big light bigly drives out darkness. So when you have. I'm telling you that are here, you're not listening to a speech. You are the late of the world, and I'm getting more word in you today, and I'm getting more of the spirit into you today to go out, kick the devil's tail and let him know, Pittsburgh doesn't belong to you. Dallas doesn't belong to you. The church is here, and we're in revival. Big churches destroy the gates of hell, and hell knows it. Why do you think the first thing Hugo Chavez did was send all the missionaries home and close all the churches? Maduro shut down 100 plus churches right before they took them out. Nobody was allowed to pastor publicly because you cannot have a strong operation of sin and have strong churches. If there are strong churches, sin starts to die, gang. Because we're not against sinners. We call sinners to repentance. Gang members get saved. One meeting we did in Clarksburg, West Virginia, we had the head heroin dealer get saved. And the next day, he texted all of his clients and said, come with me tonight. And walked all of them, 27, to the altar to receive Jesus Christ. Because Jesus said, I'm not gonna let the gates of hell write the final chapter of the United States of America. I will build my church. Do you know who built this place? God build it. Nobody can do this. Up until this year, the Pirates couldn't get this many people to come to a day game with free hot dogs and free beer. Can't get them to come. This is the Lord's doing. This church is actually not just a home of sign and wonders. It is a sign and a wonder. It's a sign and a wonder. You can't do it. You got to remember, when you start a church in Pittsburgh, it's not the South. God doesn't know what the south is. He lives in heaven, and he's no respecter of persons in any nation, in any city where people call on him. There must have been some kind of hunger in Pittsburgh where people begin to call. I Don't want. I'm tired of seeing people buried from fentanyl overdoses. I'm tired of seeing what's happening here. Lord, do something. And God's answer to those prayers is to build a church. Congratulations in advance for being a part of the greatest thing on planet Earth. Earth. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you're thankful, can you say a loud amen? Number five big churches. The church is a statement to the nation. Even leaders that are wicked are troubled by it. Acts 4, 16 and 17. The leaders met. Can you do NLT? On the screen? I got King James here saying, what shall we do to these men talking about Peter and John? For that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them to manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem. And we can't deny it, but that it spread no further among the people. Let us straitly threaten them that they speak henceforth to no man in his name. But to keep them from spreading their propaganda, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in Jesus name. You know, when I see Maduro, send all the pastors packing and put them in prison. And you know there's no Christian country where they ban Islam. But Islam has to ban Christianity because if you let it in, it wins. It's the superior. It's the superior faith. I don't say that because I'm biased, though I'm super biased. I say it because every religion can take you to the tomb of their founder, but only Christianity can take you to an empty tomb. Because on the third day, he took the greatest weapon the devil had, which is death. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. And Jesus took death out and said, behold, I have the keys of death, hell and the grave. He's alive. He is Jesus. He is the son of God made flesh. More than a teacher, more than a prophet. King of kings, Lord of lords, and he is the head of the church. Somebody shout that name. Jesus. Yeah. So wicked leaders know that they're finished if the church gets drunk. Kim Jong Un won't allow it. But it's kind of like an encouragement to me to see that there's one thing that troubles demonic people. Tell those people to shut up. Bulldoze their churches. Don't let them meet. We can't do what we're doing if they get strong. Happened from two chapters into the church, and it's never stopped happening. Nikita Khrushchev in the Soviet Union. I've made it my mission to bury the church of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Soviet Union. But they buried Nikita Khrushchev and the Russian church is doing just fine. You can't stop this thing. Trying to stop the church is like trying to fight a thorn bush. You're going to get cut up. The bush is still going to be there with plenty of thorns. It's a powerful force. Can you say amen? I'm proud to report, like you heard us prophesy on New Year's Eve, Maduro got taken out in under 45 minutes. Did you know? Remember I said I'm going to go to Venezuela as soon as you can land a plane there. Did you know? I met someone in Kentucky who just met with 10,000 pastors and the new president of Venezuela was in the meeting and said, we want a big Christian meeting here. The man that ran it was at the lunch with me at the White House. We are making plans April 20 to get on our plane, fly down to Venezuela and give the devil another butt kicking in another nation. This is not the devil's time. This is not the devil's time. This is the hour of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Somebody say I'm a part of that church? Number 6, Acts 5, 15, and 16 NLT. Let me see if I can read it from here. If I don't, I need to go see a specialist. As a result of the apostles work, sick people were put out into the streets on beds and mats. So it would be like the church in the Bible. It'd be like. If we got done with our meeting, there were people scared to come in, but they brought their family that had cancer or whatever disease and laid them so that the believers would walk by them because they'd get healed so that Peter's shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. Sixteen crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem bringing their sick and those that were possessed by evil spirits. And how many of them were healed? Oh, number six, church is a place of healing. Dr. Fauci made church his number one target when Covid was out. One reason we didn't listen. You can't convince me that people die in church. People don't die in church. People get healed in church. How many of you? Now, I'm not asking you to just put your hand up and clap like a seal at SeaWorld. I'm asking you if you could testify in court that it doesn't have to be this church. Been to church before, and God did a tangible work of healing on my insides, my physical body. How many of you can testify that I have tasted of God's healing power. That's a lot of hands. Because church is a place of healing. If you come to this church, you see how big this church is. We've had four funerals in four years, and two of the people weren't members. Yeah, you say. Well, you say no one dies here. No, I said four people died. But I've gone to churches where the list of people that were getting ready to die that they'd put up for prayer look like the Vietnam War memorial in Washington, D.C. people come here sick and they begin to taste of the healing power of the Bible and the healing blood of Jesus Christ and the resurrection life that's resident in the Holy Spirit. I'm telling you, you might have just came to Easter service today. As an American thing, let's go to church. But you're being healed right now because where two or three are gathered, Jesus said, I'm there. And Jesus never goes anywhere without healing somebody. Be healed today in Jesus name. This is from last week in Kentucky. Play the old lady that was on oxygen.
Cindy
Hi, my name is Cindy, and I am testifying what all the good things God has done for me. I came to Marion, Kentucky, to a revival that Brother Jonathan was preaching at. I had been diagnosed a year ago with lung cancer. I was put on oxygen, and when I came in, I had my oxygen on. Brother Jonathan took my hands. It was like fire hit me in
Pastor Jonathan
my chest, in your breasts, in your lungs, in your esophagus and in your heart. The Lord has cleared out everything that's of infirmity and everything that's of disease. That's why you kept standing up and lifting your hands. You could feel it. And then as you lifted your hands, it kept doing more and more. Your strength is returning to you in full measure. You're gonna be able to eat what you want when you want, sleep through the night, use the bathroom on your own, wash on your own from the time you now till you go home to be with the Lord in Jesus name.
Cindy
And I fell out under the power. Laid there a few minutes. When I got up, I just felt wonderful, like I hadn't felt in over a year. A few minutes later, I noticed that, like, my chest was rising a little bit more than it has been. I took my oxygen out, sat there a few minutes, didn't even realize I had taken it out. A few minutes later, Brother Johnson said something and he looked and he goes, hey, where's your oxygen?
Pastor Jonathan
Why is there oxygen out?
Cindy
Took it down. Off he goes, why? It's a good cause I don't need it no more. Hallelujah. Brother Jonathan prophesied that I would be able to eat, I would be able to sleep, my body would work. He didn't know that I had a hiatal hernia as well. It's like I felt it zip up. Glory to God. He has been so good to me every day. My strength is stronger. He has blessed me spiritually, physically, financially. Hallelujah. I just signed on a new house last month by myself. Glory to God. And I just can't believe all that he's done. But he said, if you have the faith of a mustard seed, that anything you ask, he'll do it. And I'm living proof of that.
Pastor Jonathan
This lady is, from what no eye has seen last year, 97 pounds in wheelchair bound and told she's going to die. That could only prolong her life a couple months. Go ahead.
Cancer Patient / Testimonial Speaker
Hi, my name is Regina Clifton, 2023. I thought I was in the best shape of my life. Been working out with the trainer for two consistently and thought I had the flu virus one day and just took off from work. And the next day I was doubled over in pain. And they took me to just a clinic. Well, the clinic couldn't take me in, and before I could even get back out the door, I collapsed on the floor and was carried to the car. They took me to an emergency room at one of the big hospitals in Nashville. The doctor came in as they started doing an exam and said, you're going to have to stay overnight. And I'm confused because I didn't realize how serious the situation was. And I'm like, well, I got to go to work and. And just try to get out of it. But that began a long process. And in the next three and a half weeks, I went from 147 down to 98 pounds. And I ended up in ICU for five weeks and did three surgeries. And in the midst of it, I went septic. And they gave me 48 hours to live. My parents came to tell me by in case I didn't make it through surgery because my blood pressure kept dropping. And my mom came to tell me how much she loved me. But she whispered in my ear, I want you to fight. She is a prayer warrior. And as they took me off to surgery, she went to the Catholic chapel to go intercede. And they said when I came out of surgery, I was unconscious, but I was yelling out of my spirit, fight, fight, fight. I was in and out of the hospital hospital probably about every three weeks. When I finally got in, but I spent 165 days total in the hospital in the last couple of years and five surgeries. I kept dehydrating because I had an ostomy bag. The doctors were very negative. Don't know if they were Christians or not, but they'd say, you always live like this. You'll never be any better. You'll always have this ostomy bag. And I was just walking in faith, and then the opportunity came about for us to go to I has not seen conference in Pennsylvania. And so they loaded up all of my IV bags and I was off of food for 52 straight days. No food, and with a wheelchair and a backpack full of IVs and driving 1500 miles in eight days. They took me up to the conference and I got in every prayer line I could get. It wasn't like I had a lightning bolt moment. But when I got back from that conference, my blood work started coming back, right? It was still another year process of walking it out. They started doing tests on me and they can't find any diagnosis now. They said, there's your blood work's fine. They reversed the ostomy. I am back in the gym, I'm back working out, back running again. And now when I go to the doctor and they look at my blood work and they look at my paperwork and everything I've been through, and they look at me and they're like, we can't believe that this is who you are on paper because you look totally healthy now. And God has done an absolute miracle in my life. And in the midst of that, I've never been married before. And I met a minister who's also never been married before. And God brought me my Boaz in the middle of it, and I'm getting married in July of this year.
Pastor Jonathan
If you're glad you serve a living Jesus, can you say amen? This picture made it from the old building. It's a lady named Terry from Plattsburgh, New York, eating a cheeseburger, 97 pounds, part of her esophagus taken out and part of her stomach. And they told her if she ever eats solid food, she'll die. And this is her eating a McDonald's cheeseburger, which you're not even supposed to eat if you're healthy. And she sent me the picture. And when we came back the next year, she had put on 35 pounds. Her hair all grew back in. Her cancer was gone, and they don't know how she could process the food. I'm not saying this to brag. I'm saying it's because I didn't do it. I'm telling you two things. Number one, the original byline of this church was revival. Today, church, a home of signs and wonders. Not the home. A home. We're not a cult. There's other churches, plenty of them, where you can go and get prayer and healed, but not enough. Most of these people had to drive six hours by thousands of churches because there's no sign. You know why churches are small? Because if you go there, there's no sign Jesus is alive. It feels like they're having Jesus funeral, but we're not having his funeral. We're having a celebration that 2,000 years ago he put his foot on the head of the devil, cracked his head, took his keys, delivered me, and he'll deliver you today. So we show you these severe cases because there's no sickness God can't heal. If it's there, God can heal it. If it's too damaged to be healed, he can give you a new one. Do you think God only made enough kidneys for everybody to have two? He's got spare parts. He's got a Pep Boys full of kidneys and livers and pancreas and lungs. Who gave that lady new lungs in Kentucky? I'm telling you what they should be saying all over America today. God's not dead. Jesus is alive. On the third day, he got up and he said, if you call on me, this church will be a place of healing. This church will be a place where people find rest and healing and strength and health. If you celebrate that ahead of time with me one more time, give Jesus the mightiest hand clap and the biggest shout. Somebody shout. He's alive. A home of signs and wonders. Hallelujah. Where's the Dallas at? I might have to ever close the service out. I'm getting overwhelmed. Overwhelmed. This is a. This is insane. This whole thing's insane. That makes no sense to the mind. When they moved us out of that tent, back into 107 with the shuttles and everything, we should have gone down. Patrick was telling me yesterday we spent all day together. He said we should have been down to 60 or 80 people. You can't even get people to come to church if they can park in front of the church, let alone park two miles away. One day it was six degrees out. Everybody over the age of 85 should have died. Thank God for Pittsburgh people. They had their babies out shorts. Everybody looking like John Fetterman. Tough people. And that's when I saw that day when it was 6 degrees and we had 991 people. I knew right then the devil's going to have the worst time in America that he's ever had. Because Jesus is not coming back for a week. Defeated, barely hanging on church. He's coming back for you. He's coming back for a glorious church. Come on, let him hear your noise. Let him hear you in hell. Let him hear you in heaven. Say with me. Church is a place of healing. You don't have to lift your hands and you don't have to say yes or no. But if you came here needing healing, you're being healed right now. And we're going to pray at the end of the meeting. And Jesus will heal you. How can you be so sure? Because he said so. He put it in a contract and signed it with his blood so you can take it to the bank. Can you say Amen? Hallelujah, Praise God. Church is a place where people get healed. Number seven. Church is necessary to satisfy the spiritual hunger of this generation. Isaiah 2:2. And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills and all nations shall flow into it. Where are all these thousands of university students that are getting saved? Where are they going to go to church? Somebody's got to have faith to build a big. Why should there be a big Lowe's and a super Target and a super Walmart and big casinos and little teeny tiny disgusting looking roof caving in mold, deep water fountain churches. There should be big, huge, vibrant, life giving sign and wonder churches. And you're in one today. And I pray you'll be here next week because this thing's not going away. This is the smallest this church will ever be. We're gonna run the devil straight out of Pennsylvania, straight out of Texas. Number eight. Jesus died to make a church. Because a church is a place to secure the blessing of God for your life and your family. Psalm 92, 13:14. Those that be planted. Sounds like pirate talk. Are those that be planted. Those that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish. Everybody say flourish. I like that word, flourish. You'll begin to flourish when you plant yourself in church. God is a God of first things. It is impossible to take the first hours of a week, give them to God and him, not bless the other hours of the week. So things just start to work in the right direction. They'll Flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be fat, flourishing. Now people wanted that back then. I got the fat part down, but I like the flourishing. And you say, amen, Say you're not fat. I have two pairs on of adelaides spanx right now. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be fat and flourishing. Number nine. Church is a place that gives divine purpose and assignment. First Peter 2:9. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Talking about the church, a peculiar people that you should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness and into the marvelous light. Have you ever met anybody that's rich but doesn't have any purpose in life? And they're rich and miserable, and they're rich and mean to people because they're miserable. They don't have any purpose. When you tie into church. One of the builders of the church said, you can bring the volunteers here, but don't bring anybody else because it's an active construction site. Well, we had over 300 volunteers show up. He said, I told you, only bring the volunteers. They said, that's only the volunteers. They weren't even allowed to bring their wives or children. He said, this church has 300 volunteers. Yeah, because you find purpose in church. I'm not inviting you to come back. I'm inviting you. You know, we had a guy come here and give his life to the Lord that had been in gangs around here. He's a big guy, six, seven, looks like Chuck. So I said to him, I said, he was telling me what he did before he got saved. I said, so you can spot people that are up a problem. He said, oh, yeah. I said, join our security team. Don't just come hurt people that need hurt. Do what God's anointed you to do. If you don't like people, be a security. If you like people, be a greeter. Can you say amen? If you love children, be in children's ministry. If you hate children, be in children's ministry. Security. There's a place for you. There's a place for you to give your life. You know, a lot of you don't know. A lot of you do know, but a lot of you don't know the joy you think is a little thing. Being a greeter, a doorkeeper in the house of God. Like David talked about, you don't know the joy of seeing somebody that's coming for the first time. You can tell they're this close to turning on their heels and going back to their car. You've given them a warm greeting, then you walking them to their seat and then you watching their arms uncrossed as the service goes and lift their hands with tears in their eyes and come up and receive Jesus Christ and hug you on the way out. Anybody who plugs into church can never be miserable because man was not meant to sit in a room and talk about their problems. Man was meant to pour out to others. And what you make happen for others, God makes happen for you. Church is a place to find purpose. This is a different kind of Easter message, Resurrection Sunday, because we're dedicating a new church. And you know, most pastors have trouble working up the nerve I used to to ask you to give your life to Jesus. I'm going past that. I want to ask people that have come here today that have fallen out with God in church and sitting here today. Oh yeah, I miss this. Well, don't wait. I've never had a good meal somewhere and gone. I'm going to eat again next year. I forgot how good steak tasted. You know what? 2027. I'm going to eat again. No, I'll start snacking it on the way home. Whatever was left. And God is not a once a year God. He's not a God of just festivals. He's a God. The Bible says this is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad.

Cancer Patient / Testimonial Speaker
I think when you're diagnosed with cancer, you crave a semblance of normalcy. And control. And so work allowed me to be me. So I think it's really important that companies stay flexible. Cancer in a diagnosis can be all consuming, but it doesn't have to be.
Pastor Jonathan
Research shows there is a significant connection between the ability to continue to work and cancer recovery. We can make work a better place

The episode is also rich with personal and community testimonies of miraculous healing and restoration, showcasing real-life impacts of spiritual engagement and church community.
On Spiritual Warfare and Societal Impact:
“Big churches destroy the gates of hell ... When big churches are doing the work of the church… it automatically, there’s not a desire for fentanyl… Because where righteousness flourishes... Light drives out darkness, and a big light bigly drives out darkness.”
— Pastor Jonathan ([06:40–07:30])
On the Unstoppable Nature of the Faith:
“Trying to stop the church is like trying to fight a thorn bush. You’re going to get cut up. The bush is still going to be there with plenty of thorns. It’s a powerful force.”
— Pastor Jonathan ([11:18])
On Authentic Miracles:
“There’s no sickness God can’t heal. If it’s there, God can heal it. If it’s too damaged to be healed, he can give you a new one. ... Who gave that lady new lungs in Kentucky? I’m telling you what they should be saying all over America today: God’s not dead. Jesus is alive.”
— Pastor Jonathan ([21:40])
On the Daily Role of the Church:
