Transcript

[Pastor Paul]

Amen. Amen. Victory Church. Anybody came this morning to win? Anybody here still believe that Jesus has already won? Anybody here still believe that Jesus is building his church? And the gates of hell shall not prevail because the church of Jesus Christ is unstable, unstoppable. The church of Jesus Christ is indestructible. The Church of Jesus Christ is still here. There is a revival happening. There is a great awakening in the making. America will never ever be the same. Oklahoma will never ever be the same. Tulsa will never, ever be the same. We are ready to make America Christian again.

[Andrew]

Grab a seat. Tell your neighbor I got a feeling that today is going to be a triggering day, trigger warning. This is going to be a bit truthful, a bit controversial, a bit convictional, but it's okay. You got are tough, right? Turn your neighbor, tell them, grow up. My name is Andrew. I'm here with my amazing wife that chose to marry me without looking at.

[Church Host]

Me.

[Andrew]

All the way from the socialist gay state of Australia. What does that mean? Watch last night's sermon. Cool. That's a different sermon. I'll leave that for you. But we're here to kind of give America a prophetic warning about the future. What can happen if. What will happen if the Church of Jesus Christ doesn't fight, Fight, fight. I love the name of the church. Victory Church. Everything is Victory. Victory Church, Victory School, Victory College, Victory Stadium. You gotta have a stadium. That's crazy. Victory Athletic center got open last year. Victory Missions, Victory Conference next week or in the few days. And I kind of concluded that you guys, he like to win. You're not losers. Pastor Paul and Ashley have cultivated, created and fabricated the culture of winning. And today I came to kind of ignite that warrior spirit within you because you are more than a conqueror. And the truth and the reality is you can't win without fighting. This is extremely important. One of the biggest reasons the church has been losing ground culturally, philosophically, theologically, across America in the last 50 years. It's not because we're not winning, because we're not winning. We're not winning because we're not fighting. This is extremely important. It's not. Christians don't win because they don't win. They don't win because. Because they don't fight. And the reason they don't fight is because of cowardice. So I came today to answer the question why you need to have courage for the faith and not just need, why you must have courage for the faith, why you need to be strong and courageous and fight, fight, fight. Because the road of wickedness is paved with weakness and the road of coward with compromise.

[Pastor Paul]

And before you know it, you're very weak, woke and coward. You can no longer fight, fight, fight and speak and proclaim the word of the Lord.

[Andrew]

People come to church now. They lack encouragement. You're beautiful. You're amazing. You're beautiful. You're worth it. This is the problem. Some of you are not very beautiful. Look at me. My mom still calls me beautiful. I think she's lying.

[Pastor Paul]

No, no, no.

[Andrew]

Encouragement doesn't mean you're beautiful. You're amazing. You're worth it. Baby flourish, baby, flourish. No, no. What encouragement mean is encouragement? It's when God places courage in your heart and fire in your soul and boldness in your spirit for you to fight, fight, fight and speak and proclaim.

[Pastor Paul]

The word of the Lord. This is why Paul said it this way. In the book of Corinthians that I have in the book of second Timothy. I have fought the good fight. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.

[Andrew]

Paul was fighting a fight.

[Pastor Paul]

This was at the end, at the.

[Andrew]

Crescendo of his ministry. This is the ending of Paul. Because a lot of people start strong, but they land soft. A lot of people start fighting, but they land surrendering.

[Pastor Paul]

And this is why you need to fight, fight, fight. This is why God told Joshua, be strong and courageous, AKA fight, fight, fight, occupy till I come. This is why Jesus sent the disciples, go into all the world and make disciples across the nations. This is why Christianity went from the most persecuted religion to the most powerful.

[Andrew]

Religion, from the most weird fringe ideology to the biggest religion mainstream idea in the history of humanity before you know it. Because the disciples fought, fought, fought, fought the good fight.

[Pastor Paul]

Because Paul said.

[Andrew]

Paul said our war is not against flesh and blood. A lot of people lack peace, peace, peace. And we're Protestants. This is kind of our slogan. It's peace if possible, but truth at all cost. And this is what happens when you're weak and woke and liberal. What happens to you? It's peace at all cost and truth when it's nice, truth when it's convenient.

[Pastor Paul]

Truth when it's easy. But we're Protestants, we're not Catholic.

[Andrew]

It's peace if possible, but truth at all costs.

[Pastor Paul]

Because Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. So the disciples fought very hard in.

[Andrew]

The first 300 years of Christianity that before you know it, Egypt became Christian, Turkey became Christian constant. Libya became Christian, Syria became Christian. Iraq became Christian. Italy became Christian UK became Christian.

[Pastor Paul]

All or most of Europe became Christian. America became a Christian nation, land of the free and home of the brave. All because of the Great commission that disciples chose to fight, fight, fight, fight. This is why Jesus said, occupy till I come. Take land, take territory, take culture, take political positions, take business. This is why Christianity spread.

[Andrew]

But somehow across church, in the last 50 years, we've been singing Kumbaya songs on Sunday. And we say, blessed are the peacekeepers. And Jesus didn't say that. Jesus said, blessed are the peacemakers, which means it's peace through strength. You can't just want to be a hippie liberal gay guy. I want peace and love, coexistence and go to church and sing Kumbaya songs on Sunday and play spiritual karaoke and practice spiritual ritualism. All my Gen Z ers trigger warning. It's okay. Relax, chill. You're gonna be all right. It's just words. They're not gonna kill you. It's a word. I feel too comfortable in service. This is extremely important. The church for the last 50 years in America were being played Kumbaya songdon Sunday, practicing religious ritualism that somehow, somewhere, as the church gets bigger, the church, the culture gets darker because we have subscribed to a peace type of gospel. And most people don't fathom or understand that we are not living at peace. We are living at war. This is why Paul said, I have fought the good fight. This is why Jude said, you must contend and fight and defend the faith. This is why Paul said, our war is not against flesh and blood. So people have replaced the sword of Jesus, because it didn't. In case you didn't know, the Bible is not this nice love story between you and Jesus. Have you ever seen people, Jesus loves me. Jesus my friend. Jesus my boyfriend. I'm like, the Bible is not a love story. The Bible is actually a sword. It's a sword of the spirit. You don't, like, have love with your boyfriend with a sword?

[Pastor Paul]

No, no.

[Andrew]

The Bible is literally a sword. And the reason the Bible is offensive, because it is the only offensive weapon that we have to get people to know Christ.

[Pastor Paul]

So the Bible is not this love.

[Andrew]

Story of Romeo and Juliet or this gay twilight saga. Sorry, if you like twilight. The Bible is a sword of the spirit.

[Pastor Paul]

You're supposed to use it. You're supposed to preach it. You're supposed to go for it. So we have this moment of time when war is happening.

[Andrew]

We pretend that we are at peace.

[Pastor Paul]

And it's very problematic because some of.

[Andrew]

You had to see the literal manifestation of the war. Remember, we are no longer in Jerusalem, the city of peace. We are now in Babylon, the city of war. And some people needed to see that spiritual manifestation become a physical reality of seeing a young man by the name of Charlie Kirk, a young man, a loving husband, a sacrificial father, get killed and butchered on the streets of America for being a Christian, for sharing the gospel, and for saying something.

[Pastor Paul]

Some people had to see the literal.

[Andrew]

Manifestation of that war happen on TV by blood running on the streets of America for you to fathom that we are at war. So while the Christian are playing scumbaya songs and coexist, coexist, terrorism knows no religion. I'm like, it does. It's called Islam. Islam is waging a war on America. My name is Andrew. I came here from the Islamic world of Egypt as a Christian refugee in 2007. We grew up in Islamic world of Egypt. Egypt used to be 90% Christian. Islam took over by Egypt in 600 AD. We were like the. We were the original Coptics that when Martin. When Mark came In Egypt in 50 AD, he preached the gospel. There was a massive revival. By the year 300, 90% of Egypt was Christian. Gonna look on the screen quickly. I did a DNA test two years ago, and I was 98% Coptics. We were the original pagans. When Mark came into Egypt in 50 AD he preached the gospel. They literally ended up becoming all Christians. Before you know it, all of Egypt became Christian. Egypt was the ancient America of Christendom. Father Athanasius, the writer of the Nicene Creed that wrote most of the theology that we live in today, he was Egyptian in Alexandria. So I kind of googled it's going to come on the screen. I googled, you know, ancient Coptic Christians and my photo. And then I was like, oh, this is crazy. I googled. And then I was like, oh, I find myself in a painting. That's cool. Someone painted me before I was born. But we were the initial original pagans that when Mark came to Egypt and in 50 AD you became Christians. And what happened was the church in Egypt became silent, soft, liberal, feminine, feminized, gay, and drag queenish. That when Islam took over in 600, Muhammad literally sent a message to the Christian leader of Egypt. He told him, if you surrender, you will have peace. And the church at the time was playing politics with the Bible. Yeah, we're gonna be okay. We're gonna be all right. And before you know it, in the last 1400 years, Egypt went from 90% Christian to 10% Christian. From 0% Muslim to 90% Muslim. Christians were butchered, killed, men were beheaded, women were raped, children were enslaved, and.

[Pastor Paul]

Before you know it, there was a literal Christian genocide.

[Andrew]

Oh my free, free Palestine genocide. Genocide. Israel committed genocide. I'm like, read your history, history books. There is a genocide across the Islamic world of Christians. Egypt used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. Syria used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. Algeria used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. Lebanon used to be Christian, now it's on the past become Muslim. Iraq used to be Christian, now it's Muslim.

[Pastor Paul]

Israel used to be Christian, then it became Muslim.

[Andrew]

And thank the Lord for 1948 Israel took it back. Turkey used to be Christian, now it's Muslim, ancient constant.

[Pastor Paul]

Every single ancient church that was founded.

[Andrew]

By the initial apostles, all of them except the church of Rome, are Muslim. The church of Alexandria, founded by Mark, is now obliterated and gone. The church of Jerusalem is now gone. The Church of Antioch is now gone. The church of Constantinople, modern day Turkey. Turkey is now 99.9999% Muslim. Every single church across the Middle east was obliterated by Islam. And today I kind of came to give America a warning about what the future can and will look like if the American people don't fight this evil and wicked ideology. Islam is an existential threat to the country of America. This is extremely important. People always say about religion of peace, Islamic peace. Isn't Islam the religion of peace? I'm like, no, no, no. When Muslims talk, Muslims don't use language to communicate, they use language to manipulate. So when Muslims say peace, they mean war. When they say freedom, they mean tyranny. When they say equality, they mean Islamic supremacy. Because Islam is kind of a double word thing. Like Islam means salam, Salam means peace. But when you put the I in front of it, Islam, it means peace through surrender, peace through humiliation, and peace through subjugation. So Islam is not really a religion of peace. Islam is fundamentally a religion of war. I watched Taka Kitasen Kadasan said the other day, it is disgusting when people attack American Muslim and like American Muslim, that's an oxymoron. Like saying American Muslims is like saying trans woman and woman. It's like saying men can get pregnant.

[Pastor Paul]

It's not really, it doesn't make sense.

[Andrew]

Because America is about life, liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Islam is about death, tyranny, jihad and the pursuit of war. So Islam is fundamentally, it's a war religion. The Goal is to humiliate, subjugate, take over. And that is historically accurate and that is according to the Quran. So I'm kind of here from the Islamic world of, of Egypt to kind of give you an idea of the Word, the world and the worldview. What is the word? The Quran and the Hadith. Unlike Christians, Muslims actually believe in the Quran. I know some of you, yeah, the Bible is a nice book. I don't know if I believe in it. Well, Muslims actually believe in the Quran. The world is the Islamic world. I'm very blessed. I got to actually live there. The Lord kind of protected our family from that crazy Islamic world. We grew up in a world where you couldn't preach the gospel, you couldn't proclaim the gospel and everything. Single Islamic nation. It is illegal to proclaim the name of Jesus in the public square. It is illegal. This is the people you're bringing in, people that fundamentally do not believe that a Christian should ever be able to.

[Pastor Paul]

Claim and proclaim the word of the Lord. You can never, ever build a church. It is illegal to have revival. Illegal. It is a criminal offense to practice the Great Commission. So I grew up in a world.

[Andrew]

You couldn't preach the gospel, you couldn't build a church.

[Pastor Paul]

You couldn't invite anybody, anybody who's not a Christian to church.

[Andrew]

So Islam is not coming to America to immigrate Islam. Is he not here to immigrate. Islam is here to invade. Islam is not here to live and live. Islam is here to conquer and take over. Islam is not here to play coexistence, religious liberty games. Islam is here to conquer and divide. Because the way Muslims view the world, the way Islam view the world, or this world, worldview and word, the world is the Islamic world. The fish doesn't know its wet. You live in a Christian world. That's why you're inclusive of gay, liberal. You're nice, you're empathetic, Love the refugees. Jesus was a refugee. You're a Christian. And the only time a fish knows its wet is when you get the fish out of the tank and put it in the air. The fish shakes or die. So most people don't understand the reason you operate the way you operate is because you live in a Christian culture. So the problem happened when Christians don't view Islam through the lens of Islam, but they view Islam through the lens of Christianity because the fish doesn't know it's wet. So you have the word, the Quran and the Hadith. Growing up in the Middle east, in the Islamic world, I was forced to memorize the Quran. I had to memorize the Quran and the Hadith. I had to learn Arabic. I'm very blessed. I know the whole stuff. You got the worldview, which is the Islamic world. So every single Muslim sees the world through two different lenses. Either every place, people, nation, and civilization is either it is a house of peace, meaning dar es Salaam, or house of war, which is dar harb. So a house of peace is a place that is, number one, majority Muslim. Number two, every single institution and cultural civilizational establishment is infiltrated in, conquered by Islam. Number three, that they have some form of Sharia law. So this is how a place becomes the house of peace. So the way to change a house of war to a house of peace is to make sure, number one, that place needs to become majority Muslim. Number two, you need to infiltrate and conquer every single institution. Number three, you need to import and execute some form of Sharia law. And that is how you move a space, a place, a people, a nation, a civilization from a house of war, the house of peace. So right now, Egypt is the house of peace. That's why there's no terrorist attacks. They only attack churches because a church is a house of war. America, though, at the moment, it's a house of war. So Muslims literally would pretend to be immigrants. They'll pretend to one Nazis because Jesus was a refugee. They kind of play on your Christian empathy. You're very empathetic, but you're kind of stupid. Like, Jesus didn't say be dumb. Jesus said, be as humble as a dove but as wise as a serpent. Now we're a dumbest sheep. We don't even think about what we're doing. So what they're doing, they use your Christian empathy because they lack empathy. And they use your secular human victimization. Because we live in a moment of time when people pretend to be victims, we believe them. So when Islam is winning, they use jihad. Like 9, 11. When Islam is losing, they use immigration. Muhammad was literally an immigrant. He preached in the first 12 years of his life this stupid gospel. There's not God by Allah. I'm like, the Jews have been saying that for a bit. There's no God but God. I'm like, really? Wow. So enlightening. So nobody believed him. For 12 years he was preaching. He ended up with like 100 followers. His mom, his dad, his cousin, his wife. Nobody really followed him. So he ended up pretending to be an immigrant and immigrating from Mecca to Medina. And when he went there, he took over, infiltrated the institution. And from there he created and fabricated his army to take the whole entire world. So this is how Islam works. When they're losing, they're peaceful. When they're winning, they're violent. This is a literal manifestation of Islam and they tend to primarily attack houses of worship. We grew up in the Middle east and every, nearly every single year would get a little gift from Muslims and it'll be a bomb in a church. You'll go to Christmas and one church will get bombed. A few Christians get killed. You would go there and they will target some group of Christians on their Christmas or their Palm Sunday or on Easter. So, and this is the funny thing, people still went to church. You guys remember in Covid when people were scared from a virus with 0.3 death rate, I'm like, bro, you would not survive the Middle East. Like if you're scared for a virus that is like 0.00001 nanometer and you're scared from a virus that you can't even see that you don't even know how to catch with like a 0.03 death rate, if you are under 70, you would not be able to survive the church in the Middle east. People literally get killed. And you got this now crazy gen zers with this crazy tucker in Canada. Oh yeah, the Jews and the Jews and the Jews. Like have you ever seen a Jew going to church? Yahweh Akbar? Not really. Have you ever seen like a Christian go around Jesus Akbar and then the building bombs? Not really. Islam is a violent and authoritarian totalitarian ideology that pretends to be a religion. Islam is a one world order regime that pretends to be spiritual enlightenment. But more than anything, Islam is a one world authoritarian and tyrannical legal and political system that pretends to be spiritual alignment. And this is a problem with American exceptionalism. It's amazing, but it's now turning into American narcissism. What do I mean by that? It's when you view Islam through the lens of Christianity, not Islam through the lens of Islam. But more than anything, it's when you view the Middle east through the lens of Christianity, not through the lens of Islam. So you don't understand Islam, but you have opinions on Israel and the Middle east and, and the Jews and the Jews and whatever you're in today, you're not viewing Islam through the lens of Islam, you're viewing Islam through the rens of Christendom. So you have no wisdom, you have no discernment, you have no understanding. Look what Islam says Quickly.

[Pastor Paul]

Look.

What? Surah 9 5, it said kill the polytheist. Where you find them. Surah 9 29, it said, fight those who do not believe in Allah, particularly those people of the Book. Those people of the book are the Christian and the Jews. That is the reason Christianity was literally obliterated from the Middle East. Every single Christian nation is now Muslim. And this how you work. First they're going to go for the Zionist, then they're going to go for the Jews, then they're going to go for the gays, then they're going to go for the Christians, then they're going to go for the communists, then they're going to go to the socialists, then they're coming for you. We saw that in Australia a few weeks ago. You saw literally Muslims attack people on Bondi Beach. Bondi beach is like Miami. You had two Islamic men open fire on 2,000 Jews, killing 15 Jews. They killed a young girl called Matilda for simply being a Jew. They killed two Jewish rabbis for simply being a Jew. They killed, killed a Holocaust survivor that happened to survive Hitler Nazism. But they didn't survive Australia and Islam. And this is what Muslims do. They will always attack you on your most celebration days to make them a day of mourning. They will always change your Merry Christmas day to Allahu Akbar Day, the day of you celebrating all what the Lord has done. You saw that with October 7th, you saw that was every single thing. Their goal is to attack you on your most holy day, to change your day of celebration to a day of torment. And that's happening across the globe. So firstly, they're going to go for the Zionists, then they're going to go for the Jews, then they're going to go for the Christian, then they're going to go over the communists, then they're going to go for the socialists, then they're going to go for the gays, and then they're going for you. And that is literally what has been happening across Middle East. Guess how many Jews live in Egypt. 8. Guess how many Jews live in Gaza.

[Pastor Paul]

None.

[Andrew]

Guess how many Christians live in Gaza. 800 Christians. Christianity has been eliminated, genocided and obliterated from the Middle East. When people say free, Free Palestine, I'm.

[Pastor Paul]

Like, what do you mean by free Palestine? Have you even, have you even been to any Islamic nation that is free? There are 54 Islamic nations with blasphemy lords, which means this sermon will either get me killed on the street or.

[Andrew]

Go to jail and get tortured and die.

[Pastor Paul]

You also have apostasy laws which means if any Muslim becomes a Christian, they will get killed. Free Palestine. Free Palestine? What do you mean by free Palestine? You're crazy, dude. I'm gonna have to call the doctor for you. Can you try to make this make sense?

[Andrew]

Oh, but you're Islamophobe. Islamophob. I'm like, I am an Islamophob. It's very logical for a Christian who watch Islam kill and butcher Christians by the millions. At least hundred millions Christians died in the last 1400 years by Muslims. Not with guns, mostly with the sword.

[Pastor Paul]

Can you imagine if they have a nuclear weapon? They killed more than 100 million Christians.

[Andrew]

In the last 1400 years. Not by bombs, by the sword. Right now in Nigeria, Christians are getting butchered. 30 Christians are dead every single day. Not just that, 10,000 Christians died in Nigeria this year. Every single year they will surround churches and the average child of church there is 200, 250. And then they will burn the church while people are worshiping. And if someone tries to escape, they will literally shoot them. I was very glad that this Christmas, Donald Trump sent them a nice gift of a bomb to ISIS. That was good, right?

[Pastor Paul]

Why is this very important?

[Andrew]

Two years ago, Nigerian Christians, ISIS surrounded a church of 200 people, and they killed them on Christmas. So they didn't see this one coming. So it's peace through strength. This is extremely important. It's peace through strength. There's a time for peace and a time for war. And it's time for the church to stand up, to speak up, to learn that we are no longer in Jerusalem, the city of peace, but we are in Babylon, the city of war. So Islam is not here to immigrate. Islam is here to invade. And this is a sad, horrific reality. You had cities like New York that didn't listen to the prophetic warning of the Lord. In 1993, you literally had a terrorist attack by Muslims. Eight Americans were killed, 1,000 were injured, literally under the two towers. And guess what happened?

[Pastor Paul]

They still let them in. In 2001, you had 3,000Americans get killed by Islamic jihadists. As that plane was about to crash, the guys literally screamed, victory to Allah, death to America, Allahu Akbar. Which literally means, my God is greater than your God and my God is greater than the God of the Bible.

[Andrew]

I was literally in Egypt 2001 when that happened. And I had my nice, very inclusive Muslim friends who were friends and they were celebrating because 3,000Americans died.

[Pastor Paul]

I was there.

[Andrew]

And the same Muslim that was celebrating 9, 11 of seeing 3,000Americans and Christians die. They were the Same Muslims celebrating October 7th. Free, free Palestine. I was literally there. So what do you mean by Islam means peace. Islam means peace. Islam is a religion of peace.

[Pastor Paul]

And New Yorkers still didn't listen. Just a few months ago, they voted in for a Muslim socialist. This is no conspiracy theory, friend. This is no conspiracy theory.

[Andrew]

Look what I said. So fight those who don't believe in Allah, particularly those people of the book that ask the questions.

[Pastor Paul]

A few verses later. Surah 9:20, it say, Kill the polytheists.

[Andrew]

Wherever you find them. Kill, Kill them, besiege them, seize them, wait in ambush and hide for them.

[Pastor Paul]

Until they turn or die.

[Andrew]

And this is why they classify Christian. And the polytheists where the polytheists. Because we do two things. Number one, we worship Jesus, who's a God man and man God. So they accuse you of being an adulterer. So if you worship Jesus, you are an adulterer. But not just that, you're also a polytheist because you worship three gods, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. So you're both an adulterer and a polytheist and someone who worship multiple gods. And this is the reason they need to apply Sharia law unto you and bring you to submission and humiliation. Islam means peace through humiliation, peace through subjugation, and peace through submission. And then you'll find more than the three you probably have that we believe in Jesus. We like Jesus, we love Jesus. We love Jesus. I'm like, that's the problem. Your Jesus is not my Jesus.

[Pastor Paul]

Your Jesus kills people. My Jesus heals people. Your Jesus kills the living. My Jesus said, love your enemy. Your Jesus hate the Jews. My Jesus was a Jew. It's a very weak Jesus.

[Andrew]

And this is very eschatological for them because they believe in the final days, in the last days. That's why Muslims at the moment, they're manifesting about the Israel thing. It's very big to them because it's eschatological. They believe that one day the final imam, which is the final figure of Muhammad and Jesus, are going to come back to Israel to reign over the world. And that Jesus that they claim, he's our Jesus, he's going to kill every single Jew in Israel. There will be a massive genocide. That's why Hamas, they were literally trying to bring end times. If you actually understand Islam through the lens of Islam, that was an eschatological experience. If you see those guys going to Bondi and killing Jews, they're literally trying to fasten the end times. So moderate Muslims, they believe the same thing. They just get there differently. The radical ones, they're going to get there, but both of them, they have the same goal. It doesn't matter about moderate Muslim, Islam is radical. It doesn't matter how moderate and not moderate you are, you still have the same goal. Subjugation, humiliation, control and Sharia law. No matter how much of a moderate Muslim you are, that is your goal. So that Jesus is coming back to Israel to kill every single Jew to the point that as they're butchering all the Jews of Islam, Islamic armies, there's going to be the trees and the rocks are going to cry out, hey, Muslim, there is a Jew behind me. Come and kill them. And after that, Jesus is going to lead a war against the Christians. He's going to tell the Christians, you need to worship Allah and if you don't worship Allah, you're going to be killed. Jesus is going to break the cross, pray the Islamic prayer and then leave Christians to become Muslims. And then we're going to only live happily ever after. That is what they mean by peace. So that whole Israel, Palestine thing for them, it's very eschatological, it's very evangelical, it's very conquering type of mindset. It's very, very big for them. And they always. So their Jesus is not our Jesus. They always come to you. We love Jesus. We love Jesus. We worship Jesus. Jesus is a prophet. Jesus is a prophet. Jesus is just a prophet. When did Jesus say you should worship him? I'm like, what do you mean?

[Pastor Paul]

Jesus said before Abraham was, I am John 1:1 said in the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. And the world was with God and the world became flesh and dwelt among us. So Jesus is not just a man. Jesus is not just a prophet. Jesus is the God man. Jesus is the man of God. Jesus is fully man, fully God. And as Christians, we don't just love Jesus. We don't just like love Jesus. We don't just have a sweet baby crush on baby Jesus. No, we worship Jesus. I'm saying we worship Jesus. This is the message of the gospel. That God became man, that divinity became humanity, that perfection became sin, that the author of time, space and reality stepped into the story that the infinite became an infant. So you might know him. Jesus is God. Jesus is the one and only true God.

[Andrew]

So when a Muslim, I tell them I worship Jesus, I don't just have a crush on him, like I full on worship Jesus. This is the three points of tension between Islam, Christianity, Number one Christology. They claim that you're a polytheist, you're an infidel, you are an adulterer because you worship Jesus, who's the God man and the main God. This is the second point of tension with Islamist bibliography bibliology, which is that they claim that we changed the Bible, we corrupted the Bible, that Muhammad came to fix the Bible. Even though Muhammad couldn't read and write, he couldn't read. Like how can someone fix the Bible when they can't even read and write.

[Pastor Paul]

He wasn't even alive during Jesus.

[Andrew]

He came 570 years after Jesus, after the disciples, after the gospel and then.

[Pastor Paul]

He claims to know about Jesus more.

[Andrew]

Than the people that saw Jesus. I will say Islam is mental illness.

[Pastor Paul]

It doesn't make sense.

[Andrew]

And the third thing is trinitarian theology. We worship the one triune God, Jesus, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, our God. The is three in one. So this is what text says, kill them, besiege them and take over the land. So Islam is not to here to immigrate, Islamists here to invade and they are commanded by God to go to the end of the world and do this. And they will try to kill me for saying this because I'm spilling the beans. You're not supposed to know that. It's very funny thing that Islamic terrorists that came butchered the Jews in Bondi, they went to what you call Medina prayer center. So Muslims, they shape shift. They have two philosophical frame. When they're, when they're winning, they're people of war. When they're losing, the people of peace. So when they are minority, when they don't have a lot of political power, look, we're just here to exist and coexist. But this is the funny thing about those two people that killed you. They went to Medina mosque. So in Islam there's two periods, the Medina period and the Mecca period. The Mecca period and Islam is losing. They use peace, peace, peace, peace. Love and hugs and kisses. Nice. But when they're winning they use the Mecca period which in full on jihad and war. So, so you find Muslims, every time they tell you we're peaceful, I'm like, yeah, are you in Medina period or Mecca period? Are you in your peace stage or your crazy stage? And this is the problem. While Islam is spreading like a virus, Christians are killing their babies, butchering their babies, letting the culture to become gay and homosexual. The next generation is getting butchered and stabbed by the millions every single year. So many young people are being cutting and Butchering their body parts. There is so many things. So while Christians are killing their babies, butchering their babies, letting the next generation either be aborted or become gay and not have children, Islam is spreading like a virus. Have you been to London's Fan recently? The most common baby name in London in 2019-2020-2021-2022, 2023. The most common baby name in London is. It's not Jacob Chesterton. There's not a Peter pan. It's not C.S. lewis. It's not Winston Churchill. It's Mohammed. The most common baby name in Berlin in Germany. It's not Adolf Hitler. It's not Klaus Schwab. It's not Beethoven. It's not Karl Marx. It's not Martin Luther. It's not Dietrich Benhofer. The most common baby name in Berlin, in Germany is Muhammad. There is something happening. This is happening across all of the. All of Europe. It's happening. Islam is conquering. Churches are becoming mosques. Christians are being eliminated and eradicated. And Islam, they are people.

[Pastor Paul]

It's because Islam is the truth.

[Andrew]

I'm like, no, Islam is not spreading. Islam is not spreading because Christianity is wrong. Islam is spreading because we're not fighting. So Islam is not the cause of the fall of Christianity. Islam is the. Because we're not fighting. And some of you are. But that would never happen in America. Oh, my God. That would never.

[Pastor Paul]

My First Amendment, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

[Andrew]

Right now, the most common, the second most biggest religion in Oklahoma is Islam. The second most most common, biggest religion in Texas is Islam. The second most common biggest religion in Tennessee is Islam. The second most common biggest religion in Virginia is Islam.

[Pastor Paul]

The second most common, biggest religion in Alabama is Islam. The second most common biggest religion in North Carolina is Islam. 20 out of the 50 states of America had the second most biggest religion as Islam. You literally just had Zohra Bdani, a Muslim mayor, become the first ever Muslim mayor of land of the free, home of the brave. New York, Statue of Liberty, the biggest city in America. It's happening. Look in the book.

[Andrew]

And like, look what he did. He swore on the Quran. I love it when liberals and gays.

[Pastor Paul]

Yeah. Religious tolerance.

[Andrew]

I'm like, can you open the book and read it? Yeah, Quran. I'm not swearing on the Bible. I'm swearing the Quran. I'm like, yeah, can you read the book? The book literally said kill the infidel. The book literally said, fight the enemies of Allah. Particularly.

[Pastor Paul]

I'm like, can you guys open the book and read it.

[Andrew]

Not just that the replacement rate of Christians in America is 2.6. The replacement rate of Muslims in America is 2.1. So by the year 2050, Islam is anticipated the double for 4 million people to 8 million people, while Christianity is anticipated to be less than 50%, particularly 47%. So there is a problem happening. There is an actual problem happening. So if the church doesn't stand up, speak up. Fight, fight, fight. Be strong and courageous because their word is their sword. Our sword is our word.

[Pastor Paul]

This is very important. Paul said it this way.

[Andrew]

We wage war, it's going to come screen.

[Pastor Paul]

We wage war, but not like the world. We wage war by taking every single false argument, by subduing every single false idea and making it obedient to Christ. Because Muhammad killed the living. Jesus healed the sick. Muhammad killed so that he might live. Jesus died to save the world. Muhammad killed his enemy. Jesus said, love your enemy. So their sword is the sword. Our sword is the word. All we need to do is to speak. All we need to do is to preach. All we need to do is to proclaim. All we need to do is to go into all the world and make disciples of all the nations. All we need to do is to speak. The Bible is the only offensive weapon.

[Andrew]

We have in Christianity. The Bible is. It's the only defensive weapon. There is no way around it. So it's time for the church to fight, fight, fight to ignite that fighter, that warrior, to ignite that passion and zeal for the Lord. It's time for the church to choose courage and not cowardice. To choose conviction, not compromise. To choose passion and not apathy. I was trying to tell me.

[Pastor Paul]

You're too much. I'm like, you're too little. You're too much. I'm like, no, no, I'm not too much. You are simply lukewarm. They're like, you are fundamentalist. I'm like, I'm fun. You are the mentalist.

[Andrew]

People who are lukewarm call passionate people too much. Cowards call courageous people man spirited. Some people tell you meanie meeny, meeny meeny, eeny meeny, minimo, you're meanie meeny meeny. I'm like, I'm not meanie meeny. You're just coward. People who are lukewarm will call courageous people many, many people who are lukewarm will call passionate people too much. I'm telling you, we're not too much. They're simply too little. You need to choose courage, not cowardice. You need to use passion, not apathy. You need to choose conviction, not compromise. This is extremely important. This is the fork in the road. If something doesn't fundamentally shift and change in the hearts of every single person, America would no longer be land of the free and home of the brave. The freedom comes from the courage. If the church doesn't be strong and courageous to fight, fight, fight, there will no longer be America just like what happened across the whole entire ancient Christian civilization when the people of God chose to fight for fight, fight. Because Islam is the judgment of God on nations and civilization that abandoned the God of the Bible for the sake of theological liberalism. That's what Islam is. Islam is the judgment of God on on Christian nation civilization that choose to kill and butcher the next generation by the millions every single year. And people think it's okay, it's all right. I'm like, it's not going to be all right. Islam is the judgment of God and Christian nations and civilization that have traded the holiness and the sanctity of the children's sexual future to get them to be gay and cut and butchered in the body part. Islam is the judgment of God. And God saved me from the other side of the world to come give you this prophetic warning. In 2007, a few years before we immigrated to Australia, my dad converted a particular Muslim woman to Christianity. We didn't really intend on that. We're just loving her, showing her love because her husband was very abusive. So we showed her the love of Christ and we preached the gospel to her. So she ended up becoming a Christian, getting baptized, repenting her sin of her sin. What we didn't know at the time is that her husband was part of Muslim Brotherhood. What is Muslim Brotherhood? Muslim Brotherhood is like the Hamas of Egypt. Hamas was actually founded by Muslims from Brotherhood. Her husband was very angry and furious for my dad, taking what is most precious to him, which was his wife. So he decided he was going to kidnap me and my younger brother John and he was going to kidnap us, behead us, and then send both our bodies and heads in a bag as a revenge and a consequence for my dad taking what is most important and precious to him, which is his wife. He orchestrated the plan. He made the plan. He got two people of Muslim Brotherhood. He came 7am in the morning as me and my younger brother were about to school. He came to way as me and my younger brother were going to school 7am in the morning as him and the two other Muslim Brotherhood men were about to come to Kidnap us, kill us and behead us. All of them froze and they could not move at all. They froze and they could not move at all. Until me and my younger brother John, both of us, we. We went to the bus. The bus drove to the end of the street. The moment the bus moved and disappeared, they started to move again. The guy was very confused. What the heck? You coward. You cowards who have killed many Christians. How dare you not to kill those Christians? So he decided he's still going to kill us. He came the week after with two other Muslim Brotherhood men to exude the exact same plan. He comes with the two other Muslim Brotherhood men and as they watch us go downstairs to the school bus at 7am in the morning, both the three of them felt a power and a force take their hand and put him behind their head. And they frozen time and space and they could not move at all until me and my younger brother John went to the yellow bus. The bus drove to the end of the street and the moment the bus.

[Pastor Paul]

Disappeared, they started to move again.

[Andrew]

See, we didn't know this was happening. If I knew this was happening, I.

[Pastor Paul]

Wouldn'T be going to school that day. I'd be like, mom, can I please keep school? Someone wants to behead me. I think she would have said yes. No, no, no, no, no.

[Andrew]

The reason we know this was happening, because that Muslim Brotherhood man came to my dad a few weeks later and he told him, your God saved you, your family and your children from my.

[Pastor Paul]

Evil and wicked hand. He became a Christian, he got baptized, and now him and his whole, entire, entire family are Christians. So Victory Church tells us. I came to tell you that I shouldn't be here. I couldn't be here if it wasn't for God. God saved me so I can speak to you. God protected me so I can preach to you. God delivered me so I can speak to you. Your job is to preach. God's job is to protect. Your job is to speak. God's job is to save. Your job is to proclaim. God's job is to deliver. So be strong, be courageous and fight, fight, fight. Because I would rather die for something rather than live for nothing.

[Andrew]

I would rather fight for something rather than believe in nothing. And this is a question in front of every single person. Will you choose courage or cowardice? Would you choose conviction? A compromise? Will you choose passion or apathy? And Charlie Kerr got shot for choosing courage. See, sometimes God will save you, sometimes you will not. Sometimes God will deliver you, sometimes you're not. But as Shadrach Meshach and Abednego said, king Nebuchadnezzar, we know our God can save us.

[Pastor Paul]

But even if he doesn't, we will not worship. We will not bow down.

[Church Host]

We will not.

[Pastor Paul]

We will not compromise even if he doesn't. I pray victory tossed up that Charlie Co Death will activate a warrior spirit within every single heart to preach and proclaim the word of God. We are ready to fight harder. We are ready to preach.

[Andrew]

Boulder.

[Pastor Paul]

We are ready to speak louder.

[Andrew]

We are ready to choose courage for the faith. I fought a good fight. I finished the race and this thing. I have kept the faith. If tonight you're ready to choose courage and 555. Why don't you come to the front today? I want to pray for you from the front to the back, from the right to the left, every single person under my voice. I came today to ignite the warrior spirit within you, to be strong and courageous and fight, fight, fight to be like Joshua who will go and take and conquer the land because we are more than conquerors in Christ, because our war is not against flesh and blood. So one day, Victory Church. We will say we have fought the good fight.

[Pastor Paul]

If the two come to the front.

[Andrew]

We are ready to preach and proclaim.

[Pastor Paul]

The word of God. We are ready to fight harder. We are ready to speak louder. We are ready to preach.

[Andrew]

Boulder. The Bible said, you receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you'll be able to speak my word. Today I'm praying over you for courage, boldness and authority. Something happens when the authority from God is on your mouth. People can't shake it. The Holy Spirit came on a young girl called Esther. She went from a young girl to a bold woman of God that went to the king to defend her people, the Jews. And she said, if I die, I die. That same Holy Spirit came on Daniel when they told him, you can't preach or pray in public.

[Pastor Paul]

You better go to your bedroom.

[Andrew]

The Bible said that Daniel went to his bedroom, he opened the window, he looked towards Jerusalem and he prayed publicly.

[Pastor Paul]

That same spirit came on Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego when they told him, you cannot worship God. You need to worship King Nebuchadnezzar. They went in the public square and.

[Andrew]

Refused, refused to worship Nebuchadnezzar.

[Pastor Paul]

That same spirit came on Peter, Paul and all of the disciples. And they said, we would rather obey God more than men. Would you lift your hand up, Lord? We need courage, boldness and authority from the front to the back. From the right to the left, every single person under my voice, we are ready to go and proclaim. We are ready to go and speak. Fill every person to have the courage to speak. Fill every person to have the courage, the courage to proclaim the word of God. Every single corporate person, they will go to the work, they will not have the pronouns in their bio. Every single young person, when their friend ask him, they will preach. Every person when their Muslim friend asks them about Jesus, they will proclaim. Every business person will make the tough decision to lose money now for the sake of the gospel, not later when they have a bigger contract. Every single person, when they are around the dinner table and that question comes up.

[Andrew]

They will boldly, courageously proclaim the word of the Lord.

[Pastor Paul]

Let's give it up for Jesus Victory. Church.

[Church Host]

Come on, church. How many y' all were blessed by Pastor Andrew?

[Andrew]

So powerful.

[Church Host]

You know, I want to do something. How many y'?

[Andrew]

All?

[Church Host]

This today was like consuming things that you haven't heard before, whether it's in the church or even just on the news. You're like, man, I feel like I'm hearing some things for the first time and really like taking it in, chewing on it, meditating on it. I told him that in the last service. I said, I don't know that I've heard a message as direct as yours about what's, what's coming. He said, he said, I feel like I'm coming from the future to warn you and to warn America on some things. And I said, I want to do a follow up podcast on this message to ask specific questions. There's people in our church that have good friends that are Muslims in our city, good people in our church that have family members that are Muslims. And how do you walk that line of friendship and love relationship when you have completely different theology? And. And so we're gonna do a podcast. How many of you all enjoy listen to a long form podcast where it would be breaking down. I'm talking like an hour and a half of just really questions. And if you have questions that you would want to ask on that podcast that you would want me to ask him, he's gonna be here for an extra day to record that and we're gonna do that and then we'll release it just to understand not just what he shared today, but kind of going a step further, further to walk that out. And I would, I mean, even right now, I would sit down and talk for the next hour and a half and do it because it's there, there is such a need. We don't hear messages like this in the church, but we should. And as your pastor, I want to say I repent for not preaching a message like this sooner because I do feel like it's important for us to hear what's going on in the battle for what we believe in, to contend with, for the faith. I know I was convicted to become more bold today. I was convicted to walk in a greater level of conviction and boldness. How many y' all were convicted today to do that? You know, every year when we do Victory Conference, there's always a few messages that stand out to me. This is going to be one of those messages that will stand out to me for a long time. And I was talking even with my brother a couple weeks ago, my brother John, and. And he said, you know, our kids need to be challenged. We need to be challenged, and we need to toughen up. We live in a culture. Everyone just wants to be so soft and never offend anybody and never offend your children and never offend each other. And I felt like what Pastor Andrew was bringing today was it was an offensive message on purpose. It was to press us past the point of just being soft and never wanting to say anything that's controversial, to really understand what do we believe that is different and why is it a threat and why do we need to be prepared for what's coming down the pike. And I receive it. How many y' all receive it today? Come on. Well, Lord, I thank you, God, for your hand on Pastor Andrew and Nolene, the Sedger family, their church in Sydney, Australia. I thank you, God, for bringing him here to speak and deliver the messages he did. And I thank you, God, this week, week as we go into Victory Conference, that our hearts, God, would be ready for all that you want to speak to us, all that you want to do in us and through us. I pray for greater courage, God, that we would pick up that blood stained microphone, God, where people are trying to figure out who's the next voice that's going to speak truth in America. Lord, let it come out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I pray, God, that we would be a church that stands on your truth. Not our truth. On your word, God, not our word. But Lord, I pray that we would be filled with your spirit and God, when we are, Lord, when we are in those public places, that we would rely on your holy spirit. Just as you told the disciples, when you stand before judges and you stand in public squares, the spirit of God will give you the words to speak and that we will speak God, by your leading, with your love and your truth in Jesus name, Amen and amen. I love you. God loves you. Be blessed.
