Isaac Fair (Testimony Speaker)
Hey, I'm Isaac Fair. I'm from Seminole, Texas, and want to share a quick testimony? I was here for Jonathan's winter revival in December, and I got set free and delivered from an addiction of cigarettes. I smoked since the age of 13. And I'm 31 now. And so I've been trying for years to quit. And Jonathan prayed for me. And I felt the power of the Holy Spirit come upon me. And just laying there, just feeling his prayer presence, it was the most amazing thing. And when I got up, I was like. And Jonathan Said, you'll never smoke another cigarette. You'll never touch another cigarette again. And in my head I was like, how does that work? I've tried it time and time again. I just. I believe it, but I just didn't know how it would come to pass this time. But I walked outside to my truck right after service night. Two packs of cigarettes left in there, and I was like, well, I. I'm going to finish those two. I bet I'm going to finish those, and then I'll be done. But I could not grab a savior. I couldn't for the life of me. It just did not work. It was so powerful because I had never gone from the age of 13 to the age of 30. I had never gone even four hours without smoking. I was smoking up to three, three plus packs a day. And so that is all glory and honor goes to God. And thank you so much to Jonathan for being such a powerful and obedient man of Christ and for praying for me. And after that day, I have never touched another cigarette again. I had them riding with me in the truck for another three months. And a friend of mine asked, man, you're done smoking? I said, I'll never smoke another cigarette in my life again. And he said, why do you still have them there? I said, they have no power over me anymore. They're sitting right there until the Lord tells me to throw them out. They'll be sitting there. And three months later, the Lord said, all right, that's good enough. I was just going to show you they don't have the power over you. So praise God and thank you so much, Jonathan.

We are raising up a family in this church. We're raising up a family in Pittsburgh. We're raising up a family in Texas that don't just know about God, they know God. They've handled his power. They've seen his power flow through Him. You're coming out of here today carrying fresh fire, fresh anointing, never to take another backward step. This. This may derail the message, but put up Romans in the amplified classic. Romans 8:30. We read it last night. Those whom he thus ordained, everybody say, that's me he called. And those whom he called, he justified. Acquitted. Everybody say, I'm acquitted. Now, I want to tell you, if you're ever in a church service, I give you permission. Now, the consequences you're going to have to bear on your own. If somebody says, we're all sinners, I give you permission to lift your right hand up and go. Not me. I've Been acquitted. If you got acquitted of a felony, you were charged with a felony, but then the judge acquitted you and somebody called you a felon, would you say, yes, I guess I am. No, it was, I've been acquitted. Why do you claim to be a sinner when the Bible says that Jesus acquitted and expunged your record Made righteous, putting them into right standing with himself? I mean, we displease God every day. Not me. I'm in right standing with God. You got family members that are in right standing with you, and you got family members that are in wrong standing with you. Some of you, not everybody, apparently. You got family members that if you found out they were coming over to watch the Steeler game with you today, you'd be excited. And you have other ones that said if you found out they were coming over, you tell your family, let's go to Buffalo Wild Wings and lock the doors. They're not in right standing with you. But everybody say, I'm in right standing with God. And those whom he justified, he also glorified. Hallelujah. You're not going to share God's glory when you get to heaven? He's glorified those whom he called and acquitted. Now can you say amen? Hallelujah. Number two. We're all just sinners, saved by grace. How many of you heard that? 2nd Corinthians, 5:17. So if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. The old life is dead. Behold, all things have become new. Can you say Amen? I'm a sinner saved by grace. That's not possible. You can't be both. You'd blow up. You're either a sinner or you're saved by grace. But once you've been saved by grace, the sinner is not being dealt with. The sinner is dead. And you are a new creature in Christ. Old things are passed away. I quit calling myself an abuse victim or a trauma survivor. That person's been dealt with by the blood of Jesus. And the me that now lives is Christ in the flesh. And the life I live, I live by the faith of the Son of God. Can you say amen number three? Life is hard. Now, don't. Everybody better lift their hands to this one. Because I grew up around Pittsburgh, Life's hard. One guy in Pittsburgh told me, like a real yinzer, which I missed. That accent. Hardly anybody has this Chris Begarly here. See, he's like the only one left. I love that accent. I grew up with it. It gives me fond memories. But Pittsburgh Loves that one guy Yinzer I was talking to, he went, if I won the Powerball, with my luck I'd probably get hit by a bus on the way to collect it. Pittsburgh loves self deprecating humor, which is fine, but then it crosses a line with a lot of people where it's just, how's it going? Same S H I T. You know, that's the thing. It's like, so then there's a resistance to the faith message when some guy's going to get up in a gray pinstripe suit looking like he's about to stand trial for extortion and running an illegal gambling operation comes and tells you that life, that God has good things for you. Oh yeah, must be nice for you. But it's different for me. But no, everybody say the word of God works for everybody. Now what you believe, why am I dealing with this? Because Satan can't just kill and destroy and steal from anybody he wants, just like God can't save anybody he wants. Before God can save you, he has to get you to believe in your heart and you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord because death and life is in the power of the tongue. And then it works the same way the other way. The devil has to get you to believe his lies and you to start speaking his lies before it can work. So what's the. I mean, good God, if you write life, if you believe life is hard and that's your viewpoint every morning when you wake up, just expect something always goes wrong. Just got the alternator fixed, brakes will probably go next. The Bible says the expectation of the righteous will not be cut off. You start throwing that kind of thing out of your spirit, it'll start magnetizing the bad things. Well, how many know life's hard? I heard that in Bible college. Ministry's hard, everything's hard. Marriage is hard. Having new children's hard. You know, the Bible doesn't say that. Bible doesn't say he that has children receives a curse from the Lord. It says children are a blessing of the Lord. I made up my mind. Everything I was going to enter into that God gave me, I was going to expect a blessing out of it. I would go to countries to preach and they'd say the people here don't have any money to. So you know, it's not going to be good for you or states. Rural Vermont, rural Iowa. No one here has anything. So I know still to this day, I know you have a plane and you have churches, but, you know, I wish we could bless you, but we can't. Thankfully for me, you're not the source of my blessing. The Bible says if you return to me in the tithe and the offering, see if I won't open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that's so great. My blessing is not connected to the earth's economy. My blessing is connected to heaven, where moth and rust can't decay. What's been laid up for me. How about you? If you receive that, go ahead and let the Lord hear your hand clap on this awesome Sunday. And then they'd even take it further. It's hard serving the Lord. You think so? Then try the opposite. Go serve the devil for a while and let me know how it goes. Go under the bridges that my one usher friend hasn't cleared out yet. He's cleared most of them into the river himself. But if we went to the tent cities in different cities in America and found people there, you're not going to find people there that got there through holy living and following the plan of God for their life. You're going to find people that drugs and sin and sexual immorality or growing up in a home where drugs and sin and sexual immorality blazed a trail to be sleeping under a bridge in the richest country in the nation. You're going to find people praying in tongues there and magnifying God and reading the Bible and getting exhorted. If they are, they're not going to be there that long. When people say it's hard serving the Lord, you're on dangerous ground. Because the guy that what happened? Who was the guy that hid his talent that God gave him? God said, hey, I gave you a talent to multiply. How come you didn't do anything with it? I know you're a hard man if you see God as a hard man and a hard task. How do you see a guy who sent his only son to die for you and think he's out to make life hard? You rising out of the ashes meant so much to God that he sacrificed his only begotten son that those that believe in him can have life and life abundantly. How many know life's hard? How many know serving the Lord's heart? No, I don't agree. You're not getting an amen out of me. I've used up all my courtesy amens. About seven years ago, I told Adonis I won't say where we were. Sometime in the last three years. We were at a thing where there were multiple speakers which I Don't do much. And she said, are we going to the meeting? I said, no. She said, yeah, but they're gonna think, like that's kind of like a pompous thing to do. You only come when you preach and don't listen to someone when they know you're right in the same hotel. I said, I know, but I've used up all my fake head nods and. And that's right. And amen. I can't do it anymore. I'm going to get myself in trouble if I go listen to that guy and he says some junk about life being hard and how many know sometimes God doesn't always come through. I'm going to start looking for a pair of brass knuckles. Because in the Shuttlesworth family, we always settle doctrinal disputes. Physically, life is hard. What does the Bible say? It's not important what I think. It's not important what other people have said or what I've always heard. It's not important what your grandmother has framed in her kitchen in calligraphy. I was at my parents house and they have a thing up in the guest bathroom. Faith makes things possible, not easy. That's an interesting scripture to have up in the toilet. I don't know whether they're going through some struggles or what. You know what? I don't even have that as one of the ones I'm going to cover. Let's take that one. How many know faith doesn't make things easy. Makes it possible, really. Do you know an easier way to part a Red Sea than to hold a stick over it? Do you know an easier way to cure blindness than with spit? Do you know an easier way to acquire a $5.3 million building for free than to believe God? Nobody's children had to get kidnapped on their way home from private school and held for ransom. All the things that wicked people have to do to get money. The Lord flowed it by operating in his steps. I want to tell you something. Does life have challenges? Yes. But even when the challenges come, the greater is he that lives in you than he that's in the world. Hallelujah. Matthew 11:28 30. Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and overburdened. And I will cause you to rest. Jesus said, I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am gentle and humble in heart. And you will find rest, relief, ease, refreshment, recreation, and blessed quiet for your souls. The simplified classic for my yoke is wholesome Useful, good, not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious and pleasant. And my burden is light and easy to be borne. Keep going. Oh, no, that's it. Everybody say, my yoke is easy and my burden is late. I mean, you see, we had two churches certain this year. We have four now. Two are on the West Coast. I didn't tell the Lord, if you get me a plane with a bed in the back, then I'll go there and do that for you. I want to do it anyway. I'd have done it however you had to do it if the Lord said it. I don't have any conditions. But isn't it interesting that the same guy that gave me the Falcon 50 when he saw a start in those churches said, how would you like if I upgrade it to a Falcon 900? It has a bed at the back. That way when you're coming home from la, you can sleep. Then gave me Christian pilots that like that. We're starting the churches, watch the meetings. The one pilot was here. That one pilot, Aziel, that was here. He flew through the night. We got in at 6 in the morning and he was at the 8am Service. He doesn't have to be here. He shouldn't be here. In fact, if I was flying in the afternoon, I said, get home and go to sleep. I'm not crashing out of your love for God, boy. I love God. I know, but you got a body too. See? Who did that? I didn't ask our partner. Hey, listen, if you guys could help me get a plane because I feel to start churches just like no one was asked about this building. God is. Jesus is not a wicked master. He's a good shepherd. A good shepherd lays his life down for the sheep. And the Bible says, if God did not speak, spare even his only son. How much more will he give us? All these other things to enjoy.
Church Member/Testimony Speaker
I got healed yesterday by Jesus, of course, but through Mr. Shuttlesworth. He prayed for cataracts. He just all of a sudden spoke it out. And I've been believing for a cataract removal for a while and praying about it and stuff. And yesterday when he called that out, I just put my hands and my eyes and we would have out for lunch afterwards. And all of a sudden I said to my wife, I said, I can see perfectly clear. Like, it's amazing. This morning I brought my glasses. I put my glasses on to come here. I didn't recognize my wife in the lineup because I couldn't. Everything was blurry. I took them off, put in my Pocket. I brought them back to my truck. Hallelujah.

Number four. What about Paul's thorn in the flesh? Well, let's read it. Second Corinthians, chapter 12, verse 7. Or does it start before that? And to keep me from being puffed up and too much elated by the exceeding greatness of my revelations. So first of all, you don't even qualify for Paul's thorn unless you have exceeding revelation on the Bible. Paul was caught up into the third heaven and saw things so wonderful. He said they're unlawful to speak about. Here you have trouble quoting John 3:16. Much elated by the exceeding greatness of these revelations. There was given me a thorn, a splinter in the flesh, a messenger of Satan. Now it's going to tell you. What do you think the thorn was? Keep reading and it'll tell you. There was given me a thorn. It was cancer, blindness. No messenger of Satan to rack and buffet and harass me, to keep me from being excessively exalted. Three times I called upon the Lord and besought him about this and begged that it might depart from me. But he said, my grace is sufficient for you and enables you to bear the trouble manfully. Or my strength and power are made perfect, fulfilled and completed and show themselves most effective in your weakness. Therefore I will all the more gladly glory in any weakness and infirmities that the strength and power that word infirmity means. A weakness of attack. It is not the word in the Greek for sick. Look it up if you want. I'm not, I'm not like. Because it told you what it is. When you see what Paul did. When you see a 60 year old man that got shipwrecked and was in the deep and then washed up on shore and then was bit by a viper and was helping gather wood. You know what I always found interesting in Acts 28? It doesn't say all the prisoners were helping to gather wood and build a fire. Paul. While the other younger prisoners were shivering. Paul was up after having been in the sea for over a day and with wet clothes. Hey, I'm in my 60s and you know, I've been. I've had iron chains on me for a long time. Does anybody know how much longer till this fire is built? Paul's gathering the wood to build it. Well you, you have to have a deficiency in your brain to read the ministry of Paul and think he was a weak suffering with sickness person. He's getting beaten, he's getting stoned to death, popping up out of the rubble and going Back to preach. So if it wasn't sickness, which it tells you clearly it wasn't, what was? The thorn in the flesh. Amen. I told you what it is. A messenger sent from Satan to buffet and harass me. Do you read about Paul being sick in the Book of Acts? No, you don't. Do you read about Paul? Everywhere he goes and a revival starts breaking out, leaders from the Roman government or leaders from the synagogue coming to kill him. Do you read about men taking a vow that they won't eat until Paul's dead? Do you read about him having to get lowered over a wall by his nephew because they're going to storm the jail and kill him? Do you read that? Yes you do. They were trying to kill him everywhere he went. So he said because of the abundance of revelation, there was a messenger sent from Satan that stirred people up to harass and buffet me. So I could never get proud. He wasn't doing a tour of Roman talk shows. They were trying to kill him everywhere he went. But it wasn't sickness. So you say, well what about that? What about it? Jesus didn't die to alleviate our persecutions. That's what people get confused about with me. They think because I preach prosperity, those guys preach prosperity but they never mentioned persecution, just mentioned it. I'm going to mention it some more. In this life you will have trouble, you will have trials, you will have tribulation. But be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. You know, scripturally, Scripturally I can't pray. Father, make all of this persecution. Make the Moon township message board that attacks me disappear. Make everyone like me in this whole township, O Lord, in Jesus name. Doesn't work that way. Lord, make everyone stop giving our church trouble to build the church. Doesn't work that way. But what he will give you is though there is opposition, God will always craft a custom made plan that puts you out on top because you can't curse what God has blessed. I call you blessed in Jesus name number five. God makes you sick to teach you. Isaiah 53:5. Isaiah 53:5. But he was wounded for our transgressions. Who was he wounded for? You know, he wasn't making like a vacation trip to Jerusalem and always had wanted to die on the cross and see what it was like. Everything Jesus did was done for us. Every religious leader was doing what they did to try to get to heaven. If you read their writings, they're men that wanted to get favor with God, carry out a mission and have God bless them. Jesus Is God. He already lived in heaven and left heaven. He didn't take stripes on his back for his sickness. He didn't have any. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities. The chastisement of our peace and well being was upon him. Everybody say peace and well being. And by his stripes we are healed and made whole. Yes, but that's talking about spiritual healing. Is it? Matthew 8, 16, 17. When evening came, they brought to him many who were under the power of demons. And he drove out the spirits with a word. Under the power of demons there is demon power. But I want to tell you something. The power of God breaks the hold on it. There's a lady. I won't say at what church. I will say she's in Fort Worth, probably listening right now. Don't wave your hand. When we started the church, she was super dejected, and I understood why. My son is in his early 20s. I raised him in church. He's living with an older man in a homosexual relationship. He hates church. He hates me and won't come to church. I said, all right, let's pray. And we prayed then she'd come back, you know, Can I. I said, we already prayed. God heard us. Give it a few days. The Lord heard us. Give it some time to work. Can you say amen, then come back another time to preach? And there's a young man sitting next to her like this. You could tell he was trying not to like me as hard as he could. And then she said, this is my son. He agreed to come. I said, praise the Lord. Well, then she comes up to me after that service, you know, he agreed to come, but he left two thirds of the way and said he, you know, he needed to go. I just wish he would have stayed, you know, Number one, and I probably should leave this part out too. I would say 90% of people, the blockage to their miracle is them that supposedly is believing for the miracle. Because you're so freaking. Not you. No one here, no one at Fort Worth. Just general people. You're so negative. You think you're believing for a miracle, but. But you're so tied. Yeah, I wish he'd have stayed. Why can't you see there's progress? You. You just told me he said he'd never come to church and he came to church. How about thanking God for that? How about thanking God for the five loaves and two fish before enough comes to feed the multitude. Hallelujah. What a. What a Great church. You guys are something else. I, I, I love this church. So then I said, I said, well, he's here. I said, thank God for it. Well, then come back the next week. And he's not with her. And I hadn't been there in like six weeks. And I said, what's, she came up to talk to me. I said, what's the word on your son? She's smiling this time. She said, he's right there. He's an usher. He came back, got saved, joined the church and is volunteering many that were under the power of demon spirits. Hallelujah. Let me see the scripture. When evening came, they brought to him many who were under the power of demons, and he drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health. How many that were sick? How many know he does any? You know, some people teach God wants to heal everyone, but what if you can show me? I'm going to work the media theme over. Put Hebrews 1:3 in the Amplified classic. Hebrews 1:3. I want people to know I'm not just making stuff up and spitballing. He, the capital, he is. Jesus is the sole expression of the glory of God, the light being the outrang or radiance of the divine. And he is the perfect imprint and very image of God's nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by his mighty word of power. When he had by offering himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, he sat down at the right hand of the divine majesty on high. I kind of could have broke that up better. Let me see. Hebrews 1:3 in the New living translation. Whoever broke that scripture up was the same one in charge of making the abbreviation for id. The I stands for I and the D stands for identification. The sun radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God. And he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. That scripture tells you everything about Christ, represents God's will. Exactly. Do you remember Jesus said, I only do what what I see, who do, and I only say what what I hear my Father say. So if you're going to make a doctrine about healing, then you better back it up with the life and ministry of Jesus. So if you can find me somebody that said, jesus, I want to see, and he said, too bad, then you got a case. If you could find me a place where somebody Said, hey, I have an issue of blood, I want to be healed. I'm going to grab the hem of your garment. And he said, well you're not getting healed and I'm going to charge you for dry cleaning. For getting dust on my rope? No. Everybody that came to Jesus to be healed, he healed them all. And Jesus Christ is the same. Yesterday, today and forever. Hallelujah. Say it out loud. I'm not religiously brainwashed, I'm New Testament taught. Let me see. Matthew 8, 16. That evening many demon possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command and he healed all the sick. Now it gets stronger. This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah. I believe that spiritual sicknesses, well you got a problem there. Because he wasn't healing people spiritually. The Bible says they brought to him people that were under the power of demons and people that had sickness, physical sickness, lepers, fevers. In fact, if we read the first 15 verses, it tells you lepers, paralysis or a palsy, something that affected the central nervous system. And then Peter's mother in law had a fever. Then when they get healed, the crowd found out he was there and brought all their sick. Not spiritually, but they weren't bringing. This guy's not really reading his Bible every day. Could you heal him? No, they brought it to him physically sick and he not only healed them, then the Bible says it's a doctrine. He did this to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, that he took my sicknesses and removed my diseases. Now I'm going to tell you something. Since the same blood covers your sickness, that covers your sin, then that's why when people start getting weak on salvation, they get weak on healing or vice versa. Well, we don't believe that God heals everybody. And you also don't believe that your sins are forgiven. That's why you're still saying I'm a sinner. That's why you're still saying I'm sick. But let me tell you something. The sinner is dead and the sick man's dead. And the new me's been raised to life with Christ. And by his stripes I am healed. The cross purchase my salvation and the stripes purchase my healing.

Jonathan Shuttlesworth brings high energy, humor, and an engaging, conversational tone. He employs personal stories, regional humor (especially references to Pittsburgh culture), and a bold, sometimes confrontational style to drive home his teachings. Testimonies from guests add authenticity and emotional impact, while a recurring theme is found in his insistence that faith brings tangible change—not just theory or religious jargon.
This episode is recommended for listeners interested in charismatic, faith-focused Christian teaching, particularly those seeking motivation to overcome obstacles and walk in their faith with renewed confidence.
