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 drug, 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? 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 voice, 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. And 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 cleared up. Like, the voices stopped. I was able to 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've 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 Faber. About a month after that, the Lord lined me 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.

We are raising up a family in this church. We're raising up a family in Pittsburgh, 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. I'm going to get right into the preaching today. Welcome. Glad that you're here. If you're joining us for the first time, I hope you feel welcome. You're welcome. Going to see this building improve every week as we turn it from a rock construction site into one of the largest churches in the mid Atlantic and northeast in Texas. I'll be down with you shortly. I want them to put on the screen First Corinthians, chapter 2, verse 12. First Corinthians, chapter 2, verse12. The Bible says now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Keep that up. Now. We have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us. Now, I would say the majority of churches in America and the bulk of vast majority, with very few exceptions in Europe and Canada, try to make it like you can have church and flow with the world. And the church is an arm of the world. In fact, the World Economic Forum back in 2008 invited a bunch of main pastors to come there. Thanks. A lot of pastors to come. And that's why the church during COVID a lot of them not only didn't fight against it, they became vaccination distribution centers, closed for church on Sunday because it's too dangerous to gather for worship and then open on Monday because it wasn't dangerous to gather to get the needle. So you see that a lot of churches want to play ball with the world. There's a lot of people, and I can't speak for Texas because I can't see you right now. But there's people here that you come from a Methodist background. How many of you that are here come from a Methodist background or a Presbyterian background? Let me see your hand. And how many of you in that lifetime saw those churches turn into a completely different thing than what you started off attending? Let me see your hand. Yes, because there were no rainbow flags. Sorry? There were no rainbow flags on the outsides of churches in 1950 or 1960, and there definitely wasn't in 1850 or 1860. So when the Bible prophesies this great falling away, that will happen, the Bible says many will depart from the faith. Everybody say depart from the faith. You can't depart from Pittsburgh if you've never been in Pittsburgh. You can't depart from Fort Worth if you've never been in Fort Worth. So the Bible's not talking about sinners getting more wicked. It's talking about people that were once on fire for God losing that fire and it going out. Which is why after Christ talks about him returning in Matthew 24, he immediately goes into the parable of ten virgins, five that were wise and five were foolish, five brought extra oil so their fire wouldn't go out, and five let their fire go out. The Bible tells you we have not received the spirit of the world. We've received the spirit of Christ. Under the past administration, I was double checking it to make sure it was true. Under Christopher Wray and the old FBI administration, they were beginning to make lists of people who went to church in America as threats for domestic terrorism. Because from their perspective, you are kind of a domestic terrorist because they're spending trillions of dollars to do away with marriage, redefine the family, redefine gender, redefine every American ideal and Bible ideal. And you ruin it by doing what you did today, which is going to church. And so that is not going to decrease. Now under this administration, God gave us a reprieve in America. But you can see in Europe, in Canada, they don't have that reprieve. The uk, where Islam's sitting in, and they were going to build a big Islamic city where a church is in your sister church in Texas that's joining us by video today. And that got shut down. Why is it that this global Antichrist agenda, where the Bible talks about how there's going to be a one world government, one world money, one world military, one world religion, and one world leader named the Antichrist. Five agendas of the Antichrist and Revelation, why is it that that's not been able to set up shop in America, just steamrolled Belgium, steamrolled Canada, steamrolled uk but it hasn't been able to set up here. It keeps getting repelled because there is a Christian in America. I'm not saying only in America, but I am saying there's a preaching here and a contending for the Holy Ghost that has produced a very strong believer. One of the reasons this church has grown so quickly in Pittsburgh is I have the privilege of re digging a well or building off of a foundation that Kathryn Kuhlman brought here where they welcomed Catholics and Presbyterians and let them know this is not about a denomination. This is about mankind being filled with the spirit of God. Can you say amen? And so I want to take today, and I've been hearing comments and I'm not going to go into them, both by religious leaders, major religious leaders that are basically just voice pieces for voice boxes for Marxism now and in America. If you look at what communist ideals are in turning a nation away from God, there's a reason why the first thing they'll do in North Korea or any communist nation, they don't go against Buddhism or Hinduism or any religion. Just like with Fauci and Covid, all of the target is church and particularly our kind of church, because the spirit of the world, if it runs a nation over, desolates it. But if the spirit of Christ begins to fill the people of that nation, it brings what many people call a revival. And that revival affects everything positively. Can you say amen? And so I want, I have a bit of a strong title. If you're visiting today, this will probably be your last service. But and I'm not saying it to be funny and I'm not saying it to be crude, I can't think of a better way to say it and I don't want to think of it, to me it is what the church is and it puts the right mentality. We are not here to cooperate with evil things that evil men want to pass. We are here to be light and darkness and salt of the earth, becoming a middle finger to Satan's end time agenda for mankind. Now what do I mean by that? I don't mean we walk around with our middle fingers up. We don't do that. But I will say you are in what you did today, a middle finger to trillions of dollars that were spent on public school education and university education. Everything that they wanted you to, to not do, you did by getting up on your day off, getting dressed, coming to church and not some boring funeral service church, lifting up your hands and singing to God and praising his holy name. Not going to some church where they're going to question the Bible, but going to a church where you want to hear scripture. And then in hearing that scripture, his word becomes a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. That's what God. That's the purpose of this church without going back into it. December 31, 2020, at our office party, the Lord spoke to me very clearly. Build me a strong church in this city. Because the Bible says Jesus said, I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Churches are doing. Building a church is doing warfare against the gates of hell. I want to show you, since we've built this church, what's happened. This is the. You remember we took authority over fentanyl when we started the church. Every day in prayer. This is fentanyl deaths last year, 30%. Almost 25% decrease in one year. Lowest since 2015. That's in one year. So I want to show you this as well, because a lot of people who preach from the standpoint I preach from, they have a defeatist mentality. Conservatives are some of the most defeated, joyless people you'll ever meet, because they know all the parts of the Bible that in the last days, many will depart from the faith. Wickedness will abound. And so they almost feel like we're fighting a losing battle. But we're not fighting a losing battle, because in the midst of sin, in the midst of wickedness, where wickedness abounds, they're the grace and power of God that much more abounds. And Jesus said, not now. If he said, I'll give my church power to survive, then I would preach from that standpoint. Let's hold on till the end. That's what a lot of churches you could have gone to today are doing. It's the same 60, 80 people, 110 people. And, you know, we're not bowing to the world. We're going to stay faithful. But faithfulness to God is fruitfulness. He didn't say, I'll help my church survive. He said, I will build my church. That's why this church is multiplying. That's why Texas is multiplying. That's why our church in Arizona that I was at yesterday is multiplying. California, blowing the doors out under Pastor Kofi. We are not good. We're not here to hang on. We are here to be a wrecking ball to the kingdom of hell. And say, you're not going to have Pittsburgh. You're not going to. We're not going to watch foreign religion come in. We're not going to watch drug addiction come in. We're going to see the power of God through us shake our nation. If you're pleased to be a part of that, go ahead and let God hear your mighty hand. Clap and shout. Pop the other graphic up that I sent you. This is startling. No, the graph. No, the one about voting. I'll send it to you again. I won't send it to you again. I don't have time. I'm in front of people. If you put a graph up that shows who's in favor of the dissolution of traditional marriage, transgender ideology, everyone is all for it except one group of people which are bible believing, what they call evangelicals because we are evangelists. The. The call to go into all the world and preach the gospel is not given to evangelists. It's given to all who believe these signs will follow them that believe in my name. They'll cast out devils, they'll speak in new tongues. They'll lay their hands on the sick and the sick will recover. And then he said, go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. The church that we rent or the building that we rent in California, in Santa Ana, it's a Hebrew school. There's no signs on the building. There's no sign out front. There's no. You wouldn't know what it is. And it's gated off because when they asked them why, they said there's a lot of hate against Jewish people right now in South Carolina, Southern California. So we just. They're not looking to evangelize. If you're Jewish, you're in. If you're not, you're not. But the reason we put signs up and billboards and me and Adolphus smiling face everywhere and digital marketing is we're not. You never get a mentality that though we have a spirit that's different than the world, we're not against the world. It is God's will that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Can you say amen?

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 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, 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 going to 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 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 yeah,

it's a Hebrew school. There's no signs on the building. There's no sign out front. There's no, you wouldn't know what it is. And it's gated off because when they asked them why, they said there's a lot of hate against Jewish people right now in South Carolina, Southern California. So we just. They're not looking to evangelize. If you're Jewish, you're in. If you're not, you're not. But the reason we put signs up and billboards and me and Adonis smiling face everywhere and digital marketing is we're not. You never get a mentality that though we have a spirit that's different than the world, we're not against the world. It is God's will that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Can you say amen? If you take that out, if you take out us from the world, literally the salt of the earth is gone. The world rots. There's no preserving agent. The Bible tells you that after Christ returns or when the rapture happens and the church is taken out of the earth. They think we're what's holding progress up. If we could get rid of those stupid Christians and their stupid homeschooling and their stupid beliefs, we could finally have some progress. But they're going to find out that when we're gone, the whole thing's going to implode on itself in less than seven years. I want you to see the importance of your life today. I want you to see the reason why the devil fights you so hard on living for God. Because one person you don't have to outnumber the devil's people. One person who stands for God, like Daniel, can overthrow the devil's whole plan in their generation. I'm glad today that we don't have one person like that. We have a room full of people in Pittsburgh, a room full in Texas, and many more watching on television online that have made up their mind. I live in this world, but I'm not of this world. I'm going to live by the Bible. I'm going to do what God tells me to do and be who God tells me to be. If you believe it, can you say Amen? So I want to read a few lengthy scriptures to you. Second Timothy, chapter three. This is the last book that the Apostle Paul wrote. Last words are important. It's a warning to Timothy and it's a warning to the last day Christians. The subtitle in my Bible is the Dangers of the Last Days. You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times for people will love only themselves and their money. They'll be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents and ungrateful. They'll consider nothing sacred. They'll be unloving and unforgiving. They'll slander others and have no self control. They'll be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride and love pleasure rather than God. Then that all dealt with the world. Here's the church. They will act religious or they'll have a form of godliness, but they will reject the power that would make them godly. Have nothing to do with people like that. They are the kind that work their way into people's homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires. Such women are forever following new teachings, but they're never able to understand the truth. These teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, they have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith. But they won't get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as happened with Jannes and Jambres. Paul's charge to Timothy. But you, Timothy, certainly know what I teach and how I live and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my patience and my love and my endurance. You know how much persecution and suffering I've endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. Everybody say a word with me. Say victory. When you preach overcoming faith and victorious faith, people think you've never read about Paul. These guys tell you that you're more than a conqueror and you'll always be the head and not the tail. What about Paul? Well, Paul's writing this, and he said, you know how badly I was afflicted. And he tells the three cities he was most afflicted in. But how does he close it out? But the Lord delivered me out of them all. We don't deny that there's trouble. We deny trouble's ability to stay. And you not have victory over that trouble. Today in this church, you're leaving with victory over whatever had trouble in your life. In Jesus, mighty name. Keep going. Switch to NLT verse 12. I'll read it off the screen. Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. You know Pastor Kofi? That's in California. He used to be a party planner in Bronx, New York. Not. Not Chuck E. Cheese. Parties. Party parties. He'd get you whatever you needed for the party. I asked him, I said, did you ever have to go to court? Never. The only time he ever had to go to court was with me after he became a pastor for our church. Being too big and not having enough parking, that's persecution. The only place they sent in people to count heads in Allegheny county in five years was our church. When we were at the soccer dome, we got sued at 107, we got sued at the soccer dome, we got sued at Baywood. And then God gave us our Rehoboth, a place to settle down and have permits. Did you know last Sunday was our first legal service in four and a half years? Yeah, because there's the spirit of the world and there's the spirit of Christ. They don't send people to count how many people are at the bars or they're over compliance. I went to a taco place yesterday in Phoenix. It was on Yelp's top 100 restaurants in the country. And it changed my life. Jesus changed my life. Adalus changed my life. And these carne asada tacos changed my life. And if I went there two more times, I would need about $12,000 more of clothes because I'm about out of all my clothes from fatness. When I went in there, that restaurant was jammed. And then there was a line from the register weaving through all the tables to the door. So a fireman came in and Adonis said, I bet he's going to tell them that he's going to shut them down if they don't get people to leave. But he wasn't. Somebody was parked in a fire spot and they just got him to leave. So they put up with packed stadiums and packed everything else. Now, Hopewell has been totally different, but everywhere you go, you know Pastor Russell, that new church he started in Spokane, Washington, first thing after three weeks, a permit guy came, cited him for moss on the roof that had been there probably for 40 years, and then been there since the last person in Washington state voted Republican, cited him for stuff, denied the permit, and three days before Easter said, we forbid you to meet in this church or we'll arrest you. So it's the same devil. Seattle, Pittsburgh. He knows that if churches like this pop up, he has no chance. Look what happened during COVID The pastors complied with shutting the churches down, and within 90 days, there were unbridled rioting in the streets. America turned into a war zone in 90 days. If you turn the light out, the darkness moves in for free. But if you turn the light up, light drives out darkness effortlessly and for free. That's what today's about. Today we're turning the heat up on the devil and letting them know, this country doesn't belong to you. This country belongs to the move of God's spirit upon its people. Hallelujah. I'm glad we were able. This might be the first time in church history that a church was able to transfer the rowdiness of the smaller building into the big building. A lot of times when you move into the big building, it turns into like a quiet NPR podcast. But I'm glad you kept your rowdiness. How many of you are going to keep your rowdiness for the Lord? But evil people and imposters will flourish. They will deceive others, and they themselves will be deceived. But you must remain faithful to the things you've been taught. You know they're true. For you know you can trust those who taught you. Can you Grab me. That guy sitting on the stool talking about how he doesn't believe in Noah's Ark. I want to play it. I'll tell you when to play it. You have been taught the holy scriptures from childhood, and they've given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Jesus Christ. All scripture. This is the key scripture to the Bible. Anybody of any worth, any denomination, Assemblies of God, Church of God in Christ, they all have this scripture as their number one doctrinal statement. Because if you undermine the Bible, you lose the foundation. He that builds his life on my word and on my teaching is like a wise man who builds his life on the rock. The wind comes and the waves crash, but the house is still standing firm. But then, if you start, the Bible says in proverbs, if the foundation is destroyed, what can the godly do? An old preacher who oversees thousands of ministers, his wife told me, we have seen ministers come back from everything. You name it, we've seen them come back from sexual immorality, drunkenness, drug addiction, you, any kind of problem, except if they get into bad doctrine, if they start undermining the Bible. Like, like, like if you just went to a random church, that's what you could hear. This is a church from about six Sundays ago. This is the pastor. Roll it, roll it. Question mark. Need more time. No problem. So you, you hear people undermine the Bible if you stay. Everybody say, all scripture is inspired by God. That host on ESPN said, I'm sick of Christians acting like if they find a scripture, they're bulletproof and you can just believe it. See, the devil does not want you to know, but you're going to believe something. Why would I believe an MSNBC anchor over the word of God? As I told my science teacher in 10th grade when she started making fun of creation and I raised my hand and stood up for it and she mocked me. I said, you're a 10th grade science teacher. He's God. You're not equal. You're not even high up in the, in the teaching thing. Now we're going to lose every high school teacher that's coming. But it's amazing how people will reject and mock the Bible and believe their aunt or their guy, that's their friend in their motorcycle club or their hunting buddy. You're gonna believe what someone says. Why not believe something that the grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God stands fore.
