e God, who answers by fire, Lord, answer our prayers in the name of Jesus Christ. If you believe, you say, “Amen.” Amen. Can we, or shall we, rise up on our feet? Father, we thank you. Let’s just begin to give thanks to God. Thank Him for today. Thank Him for His mercy. Thank Him for His goodness. Thank Him for His faithfulness, for there is none like Him in all the Earth. For He is glorious in holiness; He is fearful in praise. Hallelujah! Just lift up your voice and give Him praise. Give Him praise. Father, we honor You. Father, we honor You. Z. We thank You. [Music] Lord, just give Him thanks. Give Him thanks. Give Him thanks. Z. For let it rise from out of the belly, shall flow. Keep, man. We bless Your name, Lord. We bless Your name, Lord. We bless Your name, Lord. We bless Your name, Lord. K. Z. [Music] Z. My a, in the name of Jesus. Huah. Hebrews chapter 12, and the verse number 28. Hebrews chapter 12, and the verse number 20. The Bible said, “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and God fearing. And, and, and godly fear. So we are praying to the Father, in the name of Jesus. Jesus, let the refining fire of the Holy Ghost burn out everything that doesn’t please You, thereby making my service to You acceptable. Burn out anything in me that does not please You, thereby making my service acceptable unto You. I want you to pray and cry out to Father, anything in me that is not pleasing. Let the fire, the refining fire, the fire of the Holy Ghost burn it out of me completely, in the name of Jesus. Lift up your voice and pray. Father, burn out anything in me that is not pleasing unto You. Anything in me, any cha, any drug, any thought, any behavior, burn out, out of me, Lord. Burn out anger. B. Burn out quarreling. Burn out pride. Burn out every narcissistic behavior. Burn out every low self-esteem. It, burn out every self-condemnation. Burn out any shame, oh Lord. Anything in me that is not pleasing unto You, let the refining fire burn it out of me this afternoon, in the name of Jesus. Father, burn it out of me. Burn it out of our church, in the name of Jesus. Any hidden sin, any hidden addiction, oh Lord, burn it out of me. Any pride, any anger, oh Lord, burn it out of me. Burn it out of me with a refined fire, burning it out of revival today, in the name of Jesus. Anything that is not pleasing unto You, so that our service will be acceptable unto You, in the name of Jesus. Any bitterness, any anger, any unforgiveness, Father, burn it out, in the name of Jesus. Father, burn it out, in the name of Jesus. Father, burn it out of me. Father, burn it out of me. Anything in my life that makes my service unacceptable unto God, burn it out, oh Lord, by Your refining fire. Burn it out, in the name of Jesus. In Jesus’ name, we have prayed. 1 John 1:10. 1 John 1:10. The Bible says that if we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. We are praying that, Father, by the blood of Jesus, cleanse me from all forms of unrighteousness, so I can live a sanctified life. Father, cleanse me of all unrighteousness, so that I can live a sanctified life, in the name of Jesus. Anything that is hidden, being done in the dark, anything that is, that is unrighteous that we do it and hide it, Father, by the blood of Jesus, cleanse me, so that I can live a pure and sanctified life for You, in Jesus’ name. Lift up your voice and pray. Father, by the blood of Jesus, cleanse me from all forms of unrighteousness. Father, by the blood of Jesus, cleanse me of all forms of unrighteousness, so that I can live a sanctified life for You. Father, by the blood of Jesus, cleanse me of all forms of unrighteousness, so that I can live a sanctified life for You, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Father, cleanse me of all forms of unrighteousness, in Jesus’ name. We have prayed. 1 Corinthians chapter 7:1. The Bible says that, “Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” Therefore, having these promises, beloved. Therefore, having, therefore having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. We are praying that, Father, in the name of Jesus, cleanse me of all filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit, so that I can live a sanctified life for You. Father, in the name of Jesus, cleanse me of all filth of the flesh and of the spirit, so that I can live a sanctified life for You, in the name of Jesus. Lift up your voice and pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, cleanse me of all filthiness of the flesh and of the spirit, so that I can live a sanctified life. I can live a sanctified life. I can live a pure life. I can live a holy life, in the name of Jesus. Oh Lord, I pray and I thank You for cleansing every member of Revival today, oh Lord, of all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, so that they can live a sanctified life. Let it be known that Revival today is the church of the sanctified people, where people live sanctified lives, where people live free of sin, where there is dominion over sin, in the name of Jesus. [Music] Father, we pray that let every member of Revival today continue to live a sanctified life, in the name of Jesus. Cleanse them of all filth of the flesh and of the spirit. Cleanse them from the filthiness of addiction, in the mighty name of Jesus. Cleanse them from the filthiness of addiction, drug addiction, th, in the name of Jesus. Addiction to pornography, in the name of Jesus, so that they can live a sanctified life for You, in the name of Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name, we have prayed. The Bible said, in Romans chapter 8:26 and 27, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Now He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, is now He who searches the heart knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercessions for the Saints according to the will of God. We are praying that, Father, in the name of Jesus and by the Holy Ghost, thank You for guiding me to continue to prevail in my prayer life. Father, in the name of Jesus and the Holy Ghost, thank You for guiding me to continue to prevail in my prayer life, in the name of Jesus. Now give thanks to God that Jesus helps us, the Holy Ghost helps us, for He helps us in our weakness, for we do not know what to pray, we do not know what we should pray, we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Lift up your voice and begin to pray in the Holy Ghost. Lift up your voice and begin to pray in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is making intercessions for you. We do not know what we should, how we should pray, but the Holy Ghost is making intercession for [Music] you. The Holy Ghost is making intercessions for Revival today. The, the Holy Ghost is making intercessions for Pittsburgh. The Holy Ghost is making intercessions for your family. The Holy Ghost is making intercessions for Pennsylvania. The Holy Ghost is making intercessions for the United States. We do not know what we should pray, but the Holy Ghost is making an intercession for you right now. The Holy Ghost is making an intercession for your parents. The Holy Ghost is making an intercession for your siblings. The Holy Ghost is making an intercession for your grandchildren. The Holy Ghost is making an intercession for Moon Township. The Holy Ghost is making intercession for [Music] America. Rise from out of the belly, shall flow. [Music] [Music] e. [Music] In Jesus’ name, we have prayed. And the church shouts a big, “Amen!” Hallelujah! I want to put our hands together and welcome our very own pastor, Pastor [Applause] Jonathan. Give Jesus a great big hand clap, one more time. You can be seated. Take your Bibles, turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 9. Welcome everybody that’s watching online. If you are between the ages of 18 and 35 and feel a call of God into the ministry, this is Revival today Bible Institute, and they’re going to pop up on the screen how you can apply. $2,000 a year, which is about $34,000 less than uh, the rest of the schools. I know the other schools include what they call dormitories. I would call Christian crack houses, not to be unkind to crack houses. So you’d have a great time here, meet people from all over the country and some other countries. And if you enjoy this ministry and would like to get an impartation from here, or if you’re a parent and you have a child of that age that you, you can tell they have the call of God, this is to become a pastor or an evangelist, which is basically how everybody’s going to start. I think you can graduate up from there, but uh, I want to tell everybody that’s a Bible college student here that’s very important. You know, pick what you’re going to be: pastor or evangelist. I want to be a missionary. That’s a pastor and evangelist in a different country. There’s no ministry gift—the Bible isn’t saying God gave gifts unto men: some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors, some teachers, some missionaries. There’s no sixth gift called missionary. Missionary is somebody doing that work on a foreign field. So one way that people waste their lives when they’re called to the ministry is they, you know, you could have an endless supply of water if you don’t have a bucket or some kind of container to hold it in, it just goes everywhere, and there’s, there’s no profit from it. So what if, instead of getting this building and having church on Sunday and this during the day, you know, the everything’s organized, what if we just kind of went out to Whole Foods and asked people, “Bro, is your back sore? Mind if I pray for you?” People would get healed, people’s backs would get healed, and uh, they’d be happy you prayed for them, and you’d lead people. We could go out on the street. We could meet here every day at 11 a.m. and then have a time of prayer and go out on the street with people to the Lord. They’d get saved. Where do they go? So you follow the book of Acts. The book of Acts is a blueprint. You had Peter was the pastor of the church in Jerusalem. Philip was an evangelist who left the church in Jerusalem and went to Samaria, where nobody had preached and preached Christ unto them. And then I, I do both things. I was an evangelist and am an evangelist for 22 years, and in the 20th year the Lord added this to it, to pastor. So when you’re in Bible School, don’t come up with some goofy thing that the Lord told you to do. Anytime people, people have something that doesn’t make any sense, they just cover it, “What the Lord told me.” “Lord told me I’m going to climb that tree.” Yeah, sure he did. So if you can’t find your ministry in the Bible, you don’t have a ministry. God blesses His word, and God blesses what’s in His word. He doesn’t bless your ideas. So um, you know, I, I just, I, I have like a real poetry gift, and I feel to write prophetic poetry and travel and just share it with people. You’re going, you’re going, you’re going to starve to death or have to get an actual job. There’s no, there’s that’s not a thing. So I, and I’m telling you this because now you’re, you’re young and in Bible school, so great, you haven’t messed up or anything. There’s people I’ve, I’ve talked to there in their 40s, early 50s, and they’re in the ministry. “Where do you, pass… uh, what time is your service on Sunday?” “What we mean on Fridays?” Okay, then you’re, you’re not, you don’t have a church. You have to, if you have a church, you have to meet on Sunday morning. That’s, that’s not, you know, if you have to write that down, R would write it down: church is on Sunday morning. You know, yeah, but there’s no property. Well, that’s, that’s the challenge of everything you do in life, there’s opposition, and you have to overcome the opposition. And then evangelism, there’s two parts to evangelism: one is raw crusades, like M did. If you want to know about raw crusades, you conduct to M. He just did one in Hawaii. “How much did it cost you?” “I was actually church.” So the church paid. Yes, sir, that’s good. Um, they went out and put a, put a tent up and chairs and did an outreach. That’s part of evangelism. Then there’s a second part of evangelism that’s giving to the, all these gifts are given for the perfecting of the Saints and the building up of, of the church, that we all come into the uh, full knowledge of Christ. So like when I go to New Jersey this week, I’m going to preach. It’s not a raw outreach; it’s at a church, but you’re end up doing that as an evangelist. Dag, Haywood Mills, nobody’s harsher on how people aren’t winning souls than him and how people need to go out into, into the forest of Africa and preach to the souls that have never heard, but he still ends up in Miami at GMA Maldonado’s church, and he ends up here, because that’s another thing that you have to guard: don’t, don’t, if you don’t have any fellowship with anybody, something’s wrong. You know, “Nobody’s winning souls but me.” No, you’re full, you’re like Lucifer, you’re full, full of pride, and people get like that. So you uh, you have to guard that you, when, when God calls you to do something, you become very convinced of its value, and you should. I’m very convinced of the value of Revival today church, but there’s no, there’s no churches that I know of in the entire Northeast that are doing what we’re doing. As soon as you start going into that, you’re, you’re God’s only person, you’re finished, because that’s pride. God has a, an a big body of believers, a big family. Many evangelists, they’re good, they’re all different, but they’re all great. R.W. Schambach wasn’t like T.L. Osborne. Oral Roberts wasn’t like Billy Graham, but then in another way they kind of are all the same. My dad’s not like my uncle Ted. So my, my dad would not, doesn’t see the value of praying for the sick as much as my uncle Ted does. I’m not saying my dad, my dad prays for the sick, and then my, my uncle Ted wouldn’t see the value of what my dad does as much as what he does, but neither of them would knock the other person. You see what I mean? You’re always going to be more convinced about what you do than what somebody else does, because it’s your thing. When God calls you to do something, remember uh, Wednesday, He told Gideon, “Go in this thy might.” So it’s like, it’s like a, like Jay, Pastor Jay would probably notice when we went to a place if there were no youth. And so even if they had 3,000 people there, got like 18 people in their youth group, they’re not reaching the youth. You notice the thing that you’re called to do. Tailors notice missing buttons. Barbers notice that I need a haircut. They’ll come up to me when I finish preaching, “Great sermon. You might, you want me to come cut your hair?” They’ll say stuff like that. People notice the thing that they’re gifted with. I guarantee you, like I think it’s happened with Brother Tony and Sister Clarita where we’ve gone to a place, I didn’t notice that the music was bad, you know, it’s not my thing. I’m focused on preaching, and then, you know, not that they do it—if you’re watching online, relax, it’s happened like one time—“Man, that music was rough.” I never noticed. They notice that the piano’s out of tune or, or, or the sound’s messed up. So you notice your thing, but you need to be able to notice your thing or, or value your thing without devaluing other people’s thing. You know, the B, the, the Southern Baptist church does not lay hands on people to receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost. They don’t believe in it. I love Southern Baptist people. I love, let me tell you, with all that’s going on in the world, I’m not looking to shrink the circle. If there’s PR people and people that believe the Bible is in, is the inspired word of God and that Jesus is the only way to heaven, I’m not going to, and they believe in a mid-tribulation rapture, which I’m pre-tribulation, okay, fine, I, I’m not going to take one tiny thing, and that’s what most believers do is they, they’ll interview somebody till they find one point of contention, so they don’t have fellowship with them. Just interview them: “Do you believe in the Rapture? Do you believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost?” “Yes.” “What do you believe the initial evidence is?” “Speaking in other tongues.” “Yes.” “Do you believe that all nine gifts of the Spirit are active for today?” You know, you should believe, you shouldn’t be, I’m not saying be open to everyone’s beliefs, you should believe your thing, but have fellowship with anybody that names the name of Christ and that Jesus is the only way to heaven. That’ll keep your circle big, because there’s a tendency, and I, I’ve noticed this with a lot of preachers in general, but especially younger preachers, is they get to this thing, but like, you know, like, “I, no one’s doing anything to lead anybody to the, the Lord.” We’ve had people come to this church, and we’ve had people come to the church in Texas, and they’ll say, “Man, I didn’t know anything like this existed.” You know, and you could tell it was like this kind of pops my balloon, because I was under the impression I’m Elijah, that’s the only servant of God left, and all everyone else is hiding in caves. But the other thing is, when you fellowship with people, it opens you up to what God’s doing all over the world. That’s how I knew about Dr. Panichi. It’s how I know about people all over the world, because I, I refused to get a narrow view that uh, you know, the local churches here don’t have to shrink for my church to grow. There’s three million people in the area, so even if there were 20 churches that seated 20,000 people apiece, it wouldn’t even make a dent in that if they were all packed. So I don’t have to push other people down for me to go up. Yeah, and, and not only do I not have to push other people down for me to go up, I want everybody to go up, because this will not be everyone’s church home. We couldn’t fit everybody. So if they don’t like me and they like somebody else, great, as long as you go to heaven, as long as you uh, get impacted by the Bible and your mind gets renewed, so you’re not interested in voting in communist policies in the United States, I’m happy. There’s no church in this city that could grow big enough for me to be happy, and it doesn’t inhibit my growth for my church. So if you’ll maintain that type of attitude, and I, I think that’s one of the many good things about this church, this Bible school that you’re in, is that most Bible schools have no outlet for what you’re learning. So you learn about soul winning, but there’s no soul winning, so you just argue about soul winning. You learn about divine healing, there’s no outlet for divine healing, so you just find people that don’t believe in divine healing and argue with them. But here, there’s crusades on the weekend, there’s that, that we want you to take what you learn and go do it out where the people are at, and then you don’t get caught up in the religious world that way either. This Saturday, I’m going to be on live radio on WABC 770 in New York City at 3:30, after, after church, 3:30 p.m., with Roger Stone, the political advisor to Ronald Reagan that helps out loosely with the Trump campaign, as a live guest. He wants me to talk about what the Bible says are the marks of the Antichrist. He saw my thing about how to spot an antichrist politician that’s not on Christian radio. So I don’t care what pastors like me or don’t like me. I live in a big world; I don’t live…

In the tiny religious world, because even if you become the top of the religious world, where does it get you? Before you climb a ladder, know what wall it's leaning up against. Do you want to get to the top? I remember the denomination I started in; there were a couple of evangelists talking to me, and they said, "You know, if you do this, this, and this, and you get in good with this guy, you'll speak at the summer camp for the Youth every year, and then they'll have you; they'll talk to their friends, and you'll speak at other summer camps." This guy spoke at eight summer camps last year, so that sounded awesome when you have no summer camps and no meetings.

But then, after you get a summer camp or two, and you start thinking, "Wait a minute, I'm going to bust my tail and fast and pray and try not to offend these three people so that I can speak at eight summer camps for $1,500 apiece," that's my summer. So my summer would never be—I could never have a vision bigger than $120,000 for the summer. If, if, if that's my top—I'm not talking about preaching at summer camps—but if that's the top, and no, but then that's not it. Then one day you could be the district youth director. Okay, what do you do with that? Do you get to speak at, at um, Acer Stadium or Lincoln Financial Field and have a big Crusade with a $5 million budget and see 200,000 people come to Christ? No, no, you—no, but you—you—no. So the things I'm looking to do—that path is not going to lead there, so I'm not going to waste my time trying to climb a ladder that leads to the top of a wall that's not where God called me to go.

You have a big world; don't get caught up in the Assemblies of God or the Church of God in Christ, or um, whatever, or, or the independent charismatic world. Basically, things have collapsed in the church world—not that there aren't Christians or people that love God—but things have collapsed to the point that you have to build your own thing. There's nobody coming to help you; no one's going to help you build your church except Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Nobody's going to help blunt your Evangelistic Ministry. There's not—there's not some organization that you join, and if they accept you as an evangelist, they give you $70,000, and then I'm going to call my 10 friends, and, and uh, they're going to have you in to start. There's no thing set up like this, and that's what you're role modeling, seeing role-modeled, and receiving here. No one gave us this; this didn't come from anything; this came by the gift of faith. And so the time you spend at the beginning, like these 30 minutes praying in the Holy Ghost, building up your most precious Faith—that's how you take property; yeah, that's how volunteers come every—that's how money comes. You know, I'm going to show it tonight; get the checks ready with the um, the, the, the what, the pertinent information blurred out for tonight. But I mean, I'm home this week; I'm—I'm not, you know, my Uncle Ted called me, uh, or was texting me this morning, and I talked to him on the way in, and he said a pre—he said a preacher called me and said, "Is it true your nephew's taking in a million dollars a month?" And my Uncle Ted said, "I told him if he's having a bad month, and that's true."

So how does it make any sense when it's starting to get closer to a million a week to break even, starting to get to there? It doesn't make any sense for me to just teach Bible school, and you know, and I taught Bible school; I didn't take an hour and a half offering. Now, listen, some of you have grandparents that have wealth in their homes, and their doors are unlocked. I need you, by faith, to go and get in. No, it doesn't make any sense to come here and teach Bible School from a financial standpoint and not travel. And Patrick sent two checks in by picture message on the administration chat when they checked the mail yesterday; one was 100,000, one was 30,000. We said, "Praise the Lord!" Then he wrote, "Oh my goodness!" And then wrote, "Put more pictures." We had $432,000 come in the mail yesterday, heading up towards a million for the week, just—just doing what God—everybody say—gift of faith. So you do—do you do what God called you to do? I don't think that money would have come in if I said, "Now, look, Lord, I know you're leading me to teach Bible College this week and spend time with the students." There's no money in that, so I—I need to book a meeting and go out and get some money. See everything—remember what we started with yesterday? That spiritual—The Law of Spiritual Impact begins—what was Point number one from yesterday? No, no, no. Yesterday, the first point under the Law of Spiritual Impact: the ability to hear the voice of God. That this was my place for this week, this—and where—where God sends you, that's where your provision is; that's where everything is—is where God sends you. Does it make any sense when your brook is dried up and the ravens aren't bringing you any more food to go find a widow that also doesn't have any food? So God's instructions don't always make sense to the natural mind, but if you follow them—see, if you do what does make sense to your—to the natural mind—I've met those preachers; they're always struggling. They start a church in Manhattan because there's money there, and they're broker than anybody within 50 miles of Manhattan because it doesn't work that way. Then God could call you to the poorest place on planet Earth, and, and, and a miracle would just spring up. It's like—um, I—I keep using Tina's parents, Ed and Millie Vargas; they went to Costa Rica. I—that—that's the poorest place on Earth, but that's not—that's not Dallas, Texas, or Chicago, or some place where there's—there's like—no one's going to start a church in Costa Rica because they're—they want money. And yet, a home built for them, two properties, two church properties, and a bunch of acreage, and someone gave them a plane—like they gave me a plane to go back between the two churches. Your provision—that's why I put that as number one point for a reason. You've got to know—and you have a year; some of you have less than a year; some of you have a year and a half or a year and three-quarters—it should be your number one prayer point: "Father, let me hear your voice; where you have me to go and what you have me to do." And the more specifically you can get it, the easier the results are. I mean, if all I did was teach all four days on the ability to hear God's voice, that—that'll solve everything. There are Baptists that aren't filled with the Holy Ghost and have never operated in the gifts of the Spirit one time that have ministries that take in hundreds of millions of dollars a year because they did get the call of God, hear God's voice, and do what He said. And then, if you just go anywhere and do anything—which I would, on a side note, recommend going anywhere and doing anything when you first get out of—you know, somebody opens a door for you, unless you get a red light, do it. You know where you get that from? The Bible. The Bible says that Paul was going to go to Asia, but he had a dream, and the Holy Spirit spoke to him not to go. So what does that let you know? Paul was basically just going through every open door until the Holy Spirit said, "Stop." Not, "Let me pray about it" until he got a green light. You have a continual green light. Yeah, the first word of the Great Commission is what? Which is what color? Green. So you have a green—go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel. So go until you feel a check or, or something in your spirit. I've turned down very, very few meetings. Is M—MCAS here or not here? Wh—how many—how long ago was it when—when I first—I mean, it was a long time before I first said no to anybody, right? Years. Years where I first—and, and basically, in the past, I think you started saying no to people maybe three years ago. Maybe three years ago, I would go anywhere. Last year I preached at a church that had their record attendance on Sunday morning of 31 people, 'cause I like the pastor. I don't care; I—I—I like preaching; I like—if it's a big church, like Paulich's, great. If it's a church that just started—now, if you have 31 people and you've been there 30 years, something's wrong, and I don't feel like figuring out what it is. But if you just started a church and you're at 31, that's different—started from scratch. I want to come help, so I did. I like preaching; I like helping people; and I like—believe it or not—I like both; I like both a lot. I don't know which one I like better; it would sound stupid to say you like preaching to 31 people as much as you like preaching to 100,000, but I don't—they're just different. You can't lay hands on 100,000 people in those services; you can't really lay hands on anybody. But then 31, you can—you can—you can kind of hone in on the gifts of the Spirit and spend more time with people. So I—I like them both. So, uh, I would do whatever opens up—nursing homes, assisted living centers, prison—I'd go preach because the more you preach, the better you get at preaching. Amen. The Bible says it like—the Bible actually says about Paul in the book of Acts, I think, in the New Living Translation, "The more Paul preached, the more powerful his preaching became." So you just—you just hone it. Um, there's a talk show host that most of you are too young to know his name was Jay—anybody remember Jay Leno? That was on—your parents probably might have watched him while he was the host of The Tonight Show. He used to tour as a stand-up comedian while he hosted that show, which his contract was like $40 million a year, $60 million a year, or something, so he didn't have to like do extra work, but he liked doing stand-up comedy. So he would do 270 nights a year of stand-up comedy while hosting that show because they tape it at 5 o'clock, so he could still go perform in—in LA or Las Vegas or whatever at night. So they said to him, "Why do you do so many nights of stand-up comedy?" And he said, "So I don't have—have to write anything down." In other—and I know what he means; it's actually easier. I was telling somebody that this week; they said, "Is it hard for you to preach every day?" I said, "It's actually easier to preach every day than preach once every six days or once every 10 days because you get out of the flow and have to jump back in the flow." When you're in the flow of preaching, probably was like him for comedy, where you just—you remember what you said, you think of a better way to say it, you meditate and find—um—different supporting scriptures for it or whatever. So I'd preach as much as possible. In fact, my dad, when he was in Bible College, didn't know how to preach; had never preached. And he asked the Lord—he took three days to fast and pray that God would open up preaching experience for him. So it was like the end of the semester, April, and he gets a letter in the mail at the end of the three-day fast: "Hello, this is Pastor Ken Tinch," was the guy's name, and he said, "Uh, I was your counselor at Kids Camp when you—when you were a child at the Assemblies of God camp in—um—whatever that district is that Virginia's in—the Appalachia District, I think. And he said, 'Uh, you might not remember me, but I was thinking about you when I was praying. See, I want to tell you something. If you f—if you could send out your resume, you can post on Facebook, 'Hey, anybody need an assistant pastor for the summer?' You—you know, it's not a sin, but what if you do that? You get—you're taking carnal means to get something done, and you'll find people that use carnal means to get things done, 'cause there's two types of pastors: there's pastors that are scouring Monster.com or Facebook for somebody to hire, and then there's people like Ken Tinch. I was praying today, and the Lord brought you up in my spirit, and I wanted to know what your—I found out you were in Bible College, and I want to know what your plans are for the summer. If you'd like to come to my church, I'd like to have you. I'll have you—he—I can't pay you anything, but I can give you plenty of"—underline three times in all caps—"PREACH EXPERIENCE." And my dad went. So when you go about things a spiritual way, it's the best way to do things. Like if you were to talk to Patrick—I don't even know how he functions because he's from an accounting and business background, and nothing we're doing makes any sense. I don't mean just financially; I mean everything—nothing makes sense; the stuff I say—from the pulpit—our church should have seven people—seven farmers that are angry at America—and yet we have not just a large crowd, an extremely diverse crowd doing everything—anything they would tell you to do to have a diverse church. I'd do the exact opposite, but it—it—everything works when you get in God's Supernatural flow. I mean, I—if we pass the mic around, which we're not going to do—I—everybody that's here—see, that's why—that's why this is a different Bible school because there was no recruiting through a denomination or anything like that. Something happened supernaturally, whether I was at your church or you came to visit here, or something like that where you heard God's voice and came here. So it becomes a special collection of people because it's not people you rounded up and told them they should work for the Lord; it's people that are following the call of God on their life and that God led them here. You should have an expectation that, right from your first semester of Bible school, you're going to see God's Supernatural hand on your life in a visible way, in Jesus' name. Okay, let's review. What are the two things that, when you feel called into the ministry coming out of Bible school, it's going to fit into one of these two things: Pastor or evangelist. Evangelist. So pick one and do it. Don't end up with some weird charismatic ministry—we meet in the park and pray over the city. You can do that as a pastor; I'm not saying you can't. You—you want—when you're a pastor, if you want to read your prophetic poetry one night, you can do it, and the crowd will have to listen to you 'cause you're their pastor. But you can't build a ministry like—like that; you—you have to have a church, and you know, I took a lot of this church and the ideas from non-Pentecostal people because there's a lot of great Pentecostal preachers full of the fire of God; their churches don't grow because church is more than just preaching and having great services; it's a family. Two of the four—put—um—if you would put—put Acts 2:38 up in the New Living Translation, and then I'm—I'm going to read the verses after it, probably too—look at the early church. Peter replied, "Each of you must—" Okay, uh, gives the—Altra call 39. This promises—40, 41—3,000 added to the church that day. I don't believe in big churches. Okay, then you don't believe in the early church; it was not a tiny church; it was a huge church from the first day. Two—all the Believers. So what is—how—when they mention the early church, what's the four things that are of note of the early church? They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching. Everybody say the word—the word—to Fellowship, to sharing in meals, and to prayer. Two of the four are spiritual; two of the four aren't. So you basically have two groups of churches in the United States: you have ones that are all prayer and word—we don't have donuts and coffee; we've got the Holy Ghost. You don't have to pick between the two—like satanic donuts made of goat blood or something. "Yes, could I have that hexagon-shaped donut full of goat's blood?" Uh, so these people make this dichotomy that's not necessary. We don't have, you know, our youth group's not out eating pizza and playing games in the parking lot; we seek God at the altar. You could do both; you could actually—Pastor Dean was my youth—youth pastor, and he had us—we had a one-hour prayer service in the prayer room as a youth group where he taught on prayer and then for about 30 minutes, then had us pray for about 30 minutes, and then we had—floor hockey after that or basketball. So we did both, and you know, I was at 14; I was more excited about playing street hockey. In fact, this week I went to a hockey store and bought a street hockey stick—one for me and one for Camille—and I'm forcing her to play with me. But—came for that too. So it's not—you know, don't be stupid; don't—don't—don't be mean. And you know, again, when people say stuff like that—when all you're preaching is how your church is so—we don't do what these other churches do; we're about—something's wrong with you; who's attacking you? Why are you defending yourself when no one's attacking you? You know, if the mailman comes to my house to deliver something today and I open the door, I don't open the door and go, "Now, my house might not be as big as some of the other houses in this neighborhood, but I'm not—how—I'm not building my life on a big house; I'm building it on the Word." Okay, could you just sign—I have other packages. Why—why are you angry? Why—why are you like defending yourself to who? So you have got the one group that it's all prayer and the Word, and then you have the other group that it's all—put the scripture back up—is it 41? Acts 2:41, 42—and then all the other ones—all fellowship and sharing of meals, and the people are all there for—I went to a top secret, seeker-sensitive church about 20 years ago with my dad. We were at an evangelistic conference, and um, the largest seeker-sensitive church in the country was in the city where the conference was, so we went, and man, yeah, they had a lot of people. We were sitting up in the balcony; it—it was like no one cared; everybody was on their phone; everybody was on Yelp booking a brunch for—there was no engagement from the crowd, and those kind of churches are actually built not to have any engagement from the crowd. It's not even like the preachers looking for it; there's five services; they rattle off the same 28-minute message, same joke in the same place, same—P—for fake laughter, same touching your face for some reason, like you're contemplating the thought that you've said [Laughter]. Forth, you know, and they're looking—there's lights in their face; if nobody was in the room, they want to know. So there's no—no wonder there's no engagement with the crowd, but you don't have to pick. What I decided to do and told our staff from 8—you know, from—be until church starts—I want every idea that the seeker-sensitive churches use, and the second church finishes—I want every—every idea they used; I just don't want to have a seeker-sensitive service where we don't talk about the blood of Jesus or the resurrection or pray for people because that might be a little harsh for people. No, do all for—so we have prayer at this church; we have tons of Word at this church, but then we also have all those groups—you know, people come in through the groups—Revival today, fishing—there's people—you want to come to church? No, you want to go fishing? Yeah, then they go fishing, and they meet a bunch of Christians that fish, and they make friends. UFC night when we show the—the UFC fights—you know, those things are—eternal—4 and a half hours—you sit in a room full of Christians for four and a half hours talking, and they say, "Hey, uh, want to come—are you coming to church tomorrow?" "Uh, yeah, yeah, I'll be here. See you." Start making friends—fellowship—eating—you can't ask everybody to walk away from all their friends and give up their old life and not give them a new life; there—

Should there should be, in there, should be great people to hang around; that's what, and you notice that's people obviously need that. What did the running club start at? Mcal. When you guys started running? Of us four, and then it went to what? Half 52 people ran a half. They're they're running just to be friends; it's not people that like running, they just—I I don't have any friends. These friends keep moving, and I have to keep up with them, cuz the only people that wanted to run were the first four. 99 now 999 in the club, just running. My wife looks the best she's ever looked running four miles every day. Said, "Hey, is it okay if I run?" Oh, it's okay, keep running, run for [Music] me.

Revival today, uh, the hunting, the hunt club, they're going to, they're getting ready to go out. There's people that aren't that interested in church, nominally attend church; they love H H, and then they start hunting together; they start being more involved in church because you're you you're you're tying people in where it's a family. So when you Pastor, remember that, make church—I went to a church growing up called, uh, before I moved to Maine, called Central Assembly of God Church. The pastor's name was Ralph Vulp; he's in heaven now. He made that church a family. We had a church fantasy football league; we—I couldn't wait to go to church. Wednesdays at school, I couldn't wait for Wednesday night Royal Rangers and Bible study; all my friends were there. Sundays, I couldn't wait to go; I loved children's church; I loved—there were a bunch of people I loved there; I—it was great. It so yeah, people don't think spiritually; you do—you're in Bible School. Most people, they just, they want someone to talk to; that's how they end up in false religions. There's somebody, "Hey, why don't you come with us to this group?" They're lonely; people are lonely, so they shouldn't have to look outside of the church. When the Bible says the early church ate meals together and fellowshipped, if you'll make that a part of your church, make your church a fun place to be. Yeah, I preach very strong; I'm not light on sin or anything, but people have a good time going to our church; not everybody, but most people have a good time. You know, there's laughter. How many of you were here Wednesday night? Place was like rocking, packed room. If you're watching and you don't like our church, a judiciously attended service with plenty of space, you know the kids are loving it. Camil on the way home without me asking, "I like, man, children's church was great; we had 71 kids upstairs; we had fun." Make church fun. Yes, make your messages—come to the pulpit with joy, not anger.

Was watching NFL kickoff, NFL, which, in my opinion, is a Godless organization; they're pro gay marriage. And I was watching, I was flipping through the channels and saw some last night; they kept showing Taylor Swift. How many know Taylor Swift? One of the demonic artists of our generation, leading thousands of souls to hell. She was wearing a necklace that has an occult symbol on it; it's a circle with a black stone, which is a witch's—you know, personally, I think she she belongs to a coven, and uh, people are like, "Okay, I just woke up; it's Sunday morning; I've not digested my corn flakes yet; what's your [Laughter] problem?" I'm going to tell you what a lot of people do: anger produces its own anointing; it's an anointing of the flesh. If you get angry enough, it's an anoint—it's a demonic anointing, and I think a lot of preachers don't know how to tap into the Holy Ghost, so the only way they know how to feel and the unction to preach is by getting mad about something, so they watch Newsmax or Fox News Saturday night. Can't believe they—how many of you heard that they arrested a woman outside of an abortion clinic for for holding a sign that said John 3:16? Is that what this nation's come to? So the Bible says the work of the ministry is for the building up of the Saints. Yes, people should feel better when they leave church, not worse. Where's that in the Bible? Well, Genesis 1 through Revelation 22; it's all through there. Bible says when Jesus got done ministering—I like—I liked what um Dr. Anichi was saying about the Jesus type of ministry draws crowds. Yeah, so people think we don't have a big church cuz I preach Holiness. Do you preach Holiness better than Jesus? Jesus was a Holiness preacher. We don't have a big church because we're big on the Holy Ghost. So Jesus had multitudes; was he small on the Holy Ghost? So stop making excuses for why things aren't growing; it's probably because you're mean and people don't really like being around you. Just come to the pulpit ticked off every Sunday. I mean, you know, some some people call themselves members of this church, but every time their daughter has a cheer—travel cheering squad, they're not here. Meanwhile, there's three families—they all know who you're talking about. Okay, me? Okay, sorry. And attendance goes down and down and down and down cuz nobody's waking up in the morning to get beat in the head. John Osteen, Joel's father, that built the largest church in America, said, "People don't go to church to get a load off or a load on; they go to get a load lifted off of them." Yes, amen. People should come in heavy and leave light, not come in—"Hey, it's Sunday; holy moly; I wouldn't be surprised if this actually is year one of the tribulation; you people are too stupid to even discern it." Okay, I don't like him; can we go to Cracker Barrel?

So if you're a pastor, make it fun; yeah, make it a joy; make people—make people happy. The miracle should make them happy; the coffee truck should make them happy; the people that are greeting them when they walk in should be happy. Church should be the—a joyful—a joy-filled place, am not an anger-filled place. How do you have as the tenant scripture of Christianity John 3:16 and 17? God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life; for God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but so that—that what's the—how do I not know this—the second part of it—God not sent a son of the world to condemn it, but so the world through him might be saved. He didn't come to condemn sinners; he came to save sinners. So if that's the mark of Jesus, why would anyone come—you hear—first of all, is Taylor Swift a professing Christian? Is Cardi B? No. Is uh—who who else is popular now? You don't know—like like I'm preaching to an Amish crowd. My cousin—my cousin Arnold plays the [Laughter] banjo. Who—Lizzo, does she claim to be a Christian? Nothing. El—who you know? So why—why are you railing on people that don't even claim to be Christians? Say something out loud: say sinners—sinners—Sin—Sin. Say this—that's how they got their name; that's how they got their name. So it's—if someone doesn't claim to be a Christian and they're sinning, how does that make you freak out every Sunday? You know, there's—there's a guy—CAU—two touchdown passing the football game—found out the girl he's—he—he went out with that night—they're not even married. Yes, they need Jesus; it's not us against them; it's us going to bring the gospel to them. Can you say amen?

I can tell you I'm not outraged; I think it's why people like—check the news; it's why—check the news grew the way it did because you—you know, obviously I would be considered a conservative, but I'm not—it's not every night I'm outraged. You believe what's happening? Yeah, I can believe—first of all, all these pastors that say, "I can't believe what's happening in the world"—what did you—you think Jesus was just goofing around? No, he actually—wow, he actually meant that things would get more wicked. What do you mean you can't believe it? He told you 2,000 years ago; should have been waiting for it, and it'll get more wicked in the world in—in 5 years than it is right now. Bible says in Romans 1, they never—they never stop inventing new ways of sinning. So the Holy Ghost will help you with this because it's like me—none of it bothers me, but I hate the sin with all—with all my heart. But the people—read my Twitter; I'm not knocking Taylor Swift—that really—all the problems in America—you think we need to—let's start—okay, the—the fentanyl stuff can wait; we got to take care of this Taylor Swift lady; she's the problem. Y—but Jonathan, I—I know you said that, but you know, I—I actually have the documents that show that she—she says satanic stuff, and that—that necklace she was wearing—I know you made a joke about it, but it actually is a cultic—and that's where she gets her power from. Okay, great. What—what would you like me to do with that information? Yeah, and I'm sure if you're preaching works and you end up ending her career—everybody heard your sermon—all six people watching simultaneously on your Facebook Live after they heard your sermon and it worked and everybody quit buying her music, then the devil just—just be like, "Shucks, I don't have any more singers." See, I'm not old, but I'm also not young, so I'm old enough to have watched this stuff go in cycles. The death metal of the 1980s—let me tell you something; that was probably worse than what people are listening to now. Say what you will about Taylor Swift; she doesn't bite the heads off of live animals. I mean, the—the people that were out in the 80s—it was bad; it was—all the songs—you didn't have to like listen close; it was about—like the name of the song was like, "I love Satan," and then the song would be about—it wasn't like ironic; it was like the—the guy singing about how much you love Satan. Slayer, Mega Death, Judas Priest; their logos were—were their actual logos for the band were satanic. We had a guy come—we had a guy come to the Youth Camp I was at one time, and he was saying how if you played those songs backwards you could hear bad messages. So he took the song "Hell's Bells" by AC/DC and was playing it backwards, and it—it was—"Smoke marijuana, smoke marijuana, smoke mar"—here—see, I—I couldn't help it; I raised my hand—"What?" Yes, I said, "Have you ever listened to the song forwards? It's actually not like a great song; you don't really have to play it backwards to get bad messages." The name of the song is "I'm on a Highway to Hell." No, but if you play it backwards, he's telling you to smoke marijuana. Just always mad about something new. I was around when the new video games came out that showed Mortal Kombat; there's blood on the screen; the blood was like 8-bit red globs—"Kids are going to imitate that behavior!" Can—I play that game a lot; I never once got the desire to grab someone by the throat and pull their spine out of their back. Jonathan, what are you holding? I got to quit playing the video [Laughter] game. I'm not telling you to play violent video games; I'm just saying—you know—always mad about—kids are playing Grand Theft Auto; they're going to imitate that—baby—really? You're going—Jonathan, where you going? I got a couple grenades and an M16. Just [Laughter] What are you doing? I have—sorry, I got an impartation. Why are you wearing a cowboy hat, basketball shirt, no shirt, carrying an M16? I'm giving this up for good. Preach the word; am—preach about Jesus; preach about the blood; preach happy; tell sinners how much Jesus loves them; tell him how he died for him; tell him how there's nothing the devil's done to him that God can't do something about it. [Applause]

Today, what if Taylor Swift popped on—flipping through the—you know, people watch preachers; it's how Donald Trump—Trump found Paula White—flipping through a local Florida small Christian standard definition channel that—that—that gets piped into Mar-a-Lago, and he watched her preach and liked it, and he likes Jimmy Swaggert on there. So what if those people watch you? I—I would be—I would feel really bad if Taylor Swift had a bad night; I was like, "You know what? I don't know much about this stuff, but I—what—what is it with the Bible and all that?" And turn on—and then she—she turns it on and there's you. This Taylor Swift boy—she's never going to become a Christian if you're going to nail—if you're going to knock uh Taylor Swift—at least dress up like a Buddhist, so she won't—like—Buddhist—I'll never be a Buddhist. Speak kindly about people. See, how do you think you're like Jesus? Jesus never condoned sin. I'm not saying condone sin, but to single individual sinners out by name—that's insane and actionable; you can be sued for it. Leave them alone. Pre—if you want to preach on sin, preach on sin; don't slam sinners. Yes, can you say amen? Amen. I'll give you another scripture; say this out loud: it's the goodness—it's the goodness of God—of God that draws men to repentance—to repentance. Tell them about how Jesus is a—you know, when you hear people—tell them how he's a Healer, right? You know, I just believe the Lord's very angry with what's going on in America. He's not angry; you're angry. The Bible specifically says he sits up in heaven and laughs, and that Jesus satisfied the full wrath of God. Je—God was angry; he took all the anger and threw it on Christ, which is why I got beat so badly and all that happened, and he fully satisfied God's anger. So Paul said, because he satisfied it—2 Corinthians 5 through the beginning part of chapter 6—because he satisfied it and became sin for us; this is the wonderful message we've been given to tell others that God is no longer angry with sinners but is looking to reconcile them through Jesus Christ. The Gospel means good news; your face should look like good news; you should just scream good news! Hallelujah. Speaking—speaking of which, everybody say pastor—Pastor—evangelist—evangelist. What ministry is it? And I'm not telling anybody to stop—hear what I'm saying; it's not a—it's not a New Testament ministry to stand in front of an abortion clinic with scriptures; that doesn't shut abortion clinics down. Revival shuts it down; amen, sir. Women getting saved and not engaging in that behavior takes the business out of the pocket. You have to do Bible ministry. I—I'll give you an example; there's a pastor that I met from California when I was uh doing television taping one time, and he—he's an older guy from uh Asia originally; big ministry; and after he heard me preach—I didn't know he knew like about the Supernatural and stuff—but he started talking to me about some stuff. He said that was great what you preached; he said, "You know, one time I went to a church and they said, 'Can you pray for the women in our church?'" He said, "About what?" They said, "They're all having miscarriages; we haven't had anybody in our church that's gotten pregnant in the last two years be able to deliver their baby; every one of them is miscarried." So he starts talking to the pastor; they have a women's ministry at the church that—that does a Jericho March around a Planned Parenthood in the city and takes authority over that spirit; and when he heard it, he said, "That's the problem, because you can't—you have to deal"—this is what he told me, and I didn't forget it—"You have to deal with the devil along the lines that the scripture says for you to deal with the devil on—" Yeah, there's nothing in the Bible—and Paul led a march of the believers around the pagan temple in Acts 17. What do you think after you get down the seventh time you're going to shout and collapse the building on everybody? See, it gets quiet because you—some of you come from goofy churches where they do stuff like this, but I can save you some problems if you listen. We're going to go to the highest point in Pittsburgh on Mount Washington, and I want to have Brother Fa sing; we're going to tear down this—no—number one, that doesn't do anything; there's—there's nothing in the Bible about prophetic worship releasing the incense of worship into the air over a city, destroying the strongholds over the city; you made that up. Secondly, from what that guy told me, it actually—you also don't have any protection doing that. Now let me tell you—see, I act like—I act—and I'm not touched cuz I'm doing it in Bible—by the way, I'm in my pulpit preaching; if I went down and was doing what I did on somebody else's property—on Planned Parenthood property and pre—now that—now that they can—they can come at me. Paul didn't do that; Paul didn't go to unclean temples or synagogues; he got kicked out of—and I'm going in anyway. See, you can have zeal but no wisdom, and you'll end up in prison or dead. You saying I can't street preach? I'm not saying you can't street preach, but I'd get a permit or something; I'd have an organized meeting. Can you say Amen? So just running around trespassing—they kicked Paul out of a building he was preaching in, and he left—took the believers with him and ran into another hall. Yes, can you say amen? Amen. So what happens is people have zeal, but it's misdirected; that's what I'm telling you. The two—the two channels to use—use the channel Pastor, use the channel Evangelist, and do it for about 9 or 10 years before you get any other—other ideas, because that's what God—there's five gifts: Apostle—you're not one; nobody starts out as an apostle at 20. You know, "As soon as I graduate Bible College, I'm going to bring Pastor Paichi and Bishop David O under me and just kind of pastor them." That—that's not how it works; you rise to that. You want to know how you get it from scripture? Acts 13: "Of the company of prophets and teachers was Paul and Barnabas." Then later Paul said, "I Paul, an apostle." He's not listed as an apostle in Acts 13 when he first started and hadn't gone to the ministry yet, but later he graduated to be an apostle. Apostle, Prophet—Prophet are ordained from their mother's womb. So I'm not saying nobody's a prophet; I'm just saying that's not really—um, the training you get here will help you be a prophet, but you don't—you either are or you aren't. But the main two things are Pastor and Evangelist. Kenneth Hagin was a prophet, and he pastored; Kenneth Hagin was a prophet, and he evangelized. So even if you're a prophet—I—I don't know whether Uncle Ted believes he's one or not, but I believe my Uncle Ted's a prophet—he evangelizes. You're going to do one of these two things; it's not like if you're a prophet you don't evangelize or pastor; you just post a daily prophetic word on Facebook. I'm telling you—I'm not saying you can't post a daily prophetic word, but if your ministry is basically uh KLA Harris winning the election and doing away with free speech—away from you—not having a ministry anymore. I'm on YouTube right now; I'm on X; I'll use everything there is as means to get the gospel out; I am not limited to social media. If they take all that down, I have the ability to draw a real crowd in a real building and have a service, rather than have 9 million followers on social media and can't get four people in a building; something—something's off. Real life matters; you can't fly around in a Facebook emoji jet. That's why it's good—it's good you're at this school; you know, be around people that have ministries like that—Dag Heward-Mills Crusade—you know, he's on social media; tons of followers—hundreds of thousands—but he also can go out into the bush where nobody has Twitter and nobody has Facebook and have 40, 50,000 people there and win the town to Christ, rather than just—where you need a camera and a ring light before you can minister. What if the power grid fails? Is your ministry over because you have an online ministry? Utilize online—Dr. Anichi does that—commanding the Day prayer service 11 at night every night; there's a million people watching on Dunamis Television, not counting the 200,000 watching on YouTube, but you—he built that without that; that's just a way to reach more people. You have to have some type of concrete in-person—Jesus didn't send email blessings to people—people; he laid his hands on people; he taught them the word; he preached the word to them in person and laid his hands on them. And I'm going to tell you—I won't name names—but all the people—

That even are famous for having the opposite of what I'm telling you, taking people out on the street, praying for people on the street. Nothing wrong with doing that, but if that's all you do, there's no church; there's no, there's no word preaching. Even though Ministries like whoever you're thinking about—well, yeah—but what about so and so? What about them? How are they doing right now? I'm old enough to watch. There's a way to do ministry where you're going to have a 10- to 15-year run, tops, and be gone. And there's a way to do ministry where you can have a 65- or 70-year run where you're higher every year. That's the ministry you're going to have in Jesus' mighty name. Everybody say, "Long dist—" Long distance. Everybody say, "Longlasting." Longlasting. Yeah, not a flash in the pan, not something that that gets some 20-year-olds excited that we're, you know, we're going to march down to that Taylor Swift—now think of this—you could get a big crowd. We're going to go down to that Taylor Swift concert when she comes to Pittsburg. We're all going to have John 3:16 signs, and we're going to have uh, oil, and we're going to have signups to go baptize them in the Alany River if they want. People would like that because people want to do something about what's going on in America.

So I'm going to tell you something: once the devil realizes that you're not going to serve him anymore—you know, he's tried to lure you back into alcohol or drugs or depression or whatever bound you before—you're free; you're not going back; you're pursuing God's call on your life—then he changes his focus. Instead of trying to stop you, he tries to push you in directions that'll nullify your effect. So you get around some goofy guy that's barefoot, charismatic—I, I would be considered charismatic; I'm not knocking the charismatic movement—and you meet in his living room, and we have prophetic prayer uh, the second Tuesday and fourth Tuesday of every month. And when we take in the name of Jesus, we tear down the strongholds of Pittsburgh. There's nothing wrong with praying against uh, uh, whatever powers are operating in Pittsburgh, but if it is then not coupled—put Acts chapter 4, put the last part of the prayer that they prayed when all the Believers gathered together in prayer, Acts 4, the last paragraph of their prayer together. So they're praying; they're praying to to uh, God in the name of Jesus, Jesus about the church and about where they are in Jerusalem: "Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus." 31. After this prayer, the building where they were meeting shook. So that's called a powerful prayer meeting, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. I thought they just got filled with the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Everybody say, "Refilled." Refille. Then they preached; then they what? So they channeled this power. Now if that meeting had happened now in America, they'd say, "We're going to come back tomorrow night. How many believe we can get this building to shake again?" And it would be the building-shaking prayer meeting, and it'd go about 18 months, 12 months. Look at um, Asbury College. How long is, you know, you know, there's no one preaching. Amen. That's how these new revivals are going to be; they're going to be the nameless, faceless revivals. No—or not—'cause God actually uses people that have names and faces, like me. I have a face, and I have a name, whether there people like it or not. God uses people, right? So yeah, no, you know what I like about the Asbury Revival? No man's getting any attention. Well, men are going to get attention in a Revival; there's going to be a preacher; there's going to be a Billy Sunday or a Billy Graham. That's God's plan. "By the hands of the apostles were signs and wonders wrought." God uses people's hands; God sends people; God has people speak. After this prayer, the meeting place shook; they were all filled, and you could easily add the word powerfully with the Holy Spirit. If the building's shaken, I can only imagine what was happening to human beings that are less stable than stone walls. I don't believe in all that shaking. You think God shakes buildings and the people? You think the people are just like, "Praise the Lord," they're in this meeting, the meeting place shakes, they were filled with Holy Spirit. What did they do with that power? How did they channel it? Then they went out and began to preach God's word with boldness. You want to go up on Mount Washington and take authority over the demon spirits operating in Pittsburgh? Knock yourself out, but after you come down the mountain, you should come down like Jesus, filled with the Holy Ghost and preach the gospel, call people to Christ, pray for the sick. That's why those little house prayer meetings never go anywhere, 'cause that there's no outlet. You don't charge a phone—to charge a phone, the phone has a use. You get like Wednesday night you're getting filled with the Holy Ghost, Tuesday you're getting filled with the Holy Ghost; that's to charge you up, then there's to be an outlet. And I'm telling you what the outlets to be: build a church, travel and preach, be in a evangelist, be a great evangelist, not a not a one-night speaker. I mean, you got to take what you get in the beginning, but look to build. Even if they're only having you in Sunday night, have it in your spirit; don't bring it up to the pastor, just have it in your spirit. I'm going to I'm going to believe God that this thing gets extended. I don't believe that the results of this meeting are so great. I had it happen, you know, early on, Plattsburgh, New York. I was only supposed to be at that place Sunday night, and that's when that lady got healed of um, cancer that we have the picture of her eating the cheeseburger. That was 90-some pounds, and the pastor came up to me. I was only supposed to be there one night. Yay. Uh, "I know it's short notice, but this was awesome tonight. What do you think? Would you be able to stay over tomorrow if I announce it?" I said, "Absolutely." He got up; he said, "How many of you have enjoyed this service?" People were crying; you know, a bunch of people got saved. What, what do you think if we have our evangelist stay over another night? How many of you would come back? Standing ovation. Stay that night. Push. Don't just do the service, do your little part. When there should be a change in the temperature when you get the mic, like like, "Who is this guy? Where did this guy come from?" You know, you think about it, that Jesus, they were conducting a service in Luke chapter 4, then they gave Jesus control of the service, and a man that was full of the the devil cried out, "We know who you are. Have you come to torment us before our time?" That demon was able to stay quiet; there was no heat in the room; he was used to being in religious services, but when Jesus got up, the temperature changed, and the devil said, "I feel something tormenting me, like it's going to happen in judgment." That's going to be what you carry when they give you the mic; you're going to blow the devil out of every room you're in and bring the power of [Applause] God and build something. Hallelujah. Yes, sir. Get up, building. You know, I just saw the uh, somebody sent it to me, the Assemblies of God Church in Coropolis. First Assembly of God is up for sale with with a parsonage next to it. How much could they possibly want for that church? There's no way it would be more than $350,000. So, well, how I get a building? And I know 350,000 sounds like it might as well be 35 billion if you're 19, but I'm telling you, God doesn't care how much anything costs, and these churches are going to go up for sale all over the country because God—and I don't mean that church, I don't know anything about that church—God has evicted their leadership all over the country because Jesus is the head of the church. That's why you never have to be worried about the church. I'm very concerned about the church in America. Well, you squint in your forehead is not going to do anything about it, so relax. Why would you ever be concerned about the church when the Bible tells you who the head of the church is? Who's the head of the church? Jesus. Does he know what he's doing? Yes. I mean, if you followed NFL football uh, back in their Glory Days, The Patriot could be down by 11 points at halftime. No Patriot fan was worried; you'd hear him talk with great faith about Bill Belichick. You you watch what happens in the third quarter after he gets him in the locker room and makes some changes; they're going to come out and wish wish they didn't have the lead. And that's exactly what happened because they had confidence in the leader of that team. How much more confidence should you have in Christ? I'm not concerned about the state of the church. I'd be concerned about some people who claim to be a—if I was one of the people that claimed to be a part of the church and is goofing off—but the head of the church knows what he's doing; his name is Jesus; he runs a perfect ship; he runs a growing ship; you're a part of that ship, God. Think of this: that ship that he's running, he's invited you as the captain to come aboard for training, to launch out into his Navy. That's why you're here. What an honor to be a part, and our captain is Jesus; he knows where he's taking us; he doesn't lose; he only succeeds; he's going to make your life have a great mark. [Applause] You find out how much that church is going for? 750, give me a break. There must be smoking crack. Offer them 200 grand in a couple Snickers bars; they take it. It's an old church; there's nowhere to park. So the fact that they're asking for that much money makes me want to go down and buy it and just negotiate, just to yell at somebody. It comes with a parentage, right? Yeah, but I'm tell—but so what? Then then you buy it; then you get the money. I'm not telling you to do it. Finish Bible school, but I'm just telling you that's one down the road; they're going to pop up left and right; they're dying. The Episcopal Church is dying, and they're all—zone church. So all this crap you're watching me go through in court, you can skip it all, grab it, get the faith. I, how I ever get that much money? Then just quit the ministry if that's how you talk. How you going to preach about mountain-moving faith and then back it? Who cares if it's $9 million? I, I, that's why I tell you the kind of testimonies I'm telling you about what came in yesterday that were sitting at—open the mail up, and it wasn't from church. Some people go to our church that sent the money, and some are from other states where we don't have churches. If the people that gave the money were sitting here with the exception of one or two, I wouldn't know who they are. There's no rhyme or reason towards it other than in the fact—how many—somebody give 100,000 to Paichi. It didn't take long for it to come back, did it? Six days: 100 plus 30 plus 260 plus 68 plus little chick—boom. "Give, and you shall receive; your gift will return to you pressed down, shaken together, and running over to make room for more. I will cause men to give liberty into your bosom." That's why I share the amounts that are so unbelievable that other faith preachers call my uncle. "Is it really true that your your nephew's taking in a million a month?" If he has a bad month, we—if we only took a million a month, we'd be out of business in in a handful of months, maybe seven months; we'd lose money every month. Now those days are over. About to be a million a week. This week we'll hit a million dollars, 'cause what you make happen for others, God makes happen for you. Who cares how much anything costs? Get your eyes—drive around. Does does uh, Sister McCon still have a mic, or they take away your microphone privileges? Tell tell everybody, including me, because I wasn't around. Build me a strong church in this city that requires a building. See, I'm telling you where to put the targets for your faith. You have to know what to believe for. Church needs building and chairs; people can't squat for for two hours. So there's practical things that you have to use your faith for. The same faith and the same power that'll blow a cancerous tumor out of somebody's body will produce a building and chairs and a sound system and podium and cameras. Faith is universal currency that works anywhere in the world on anything it's applied to. Faith is universal currency that works anywhere in the world towards anything it's applied to. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. So we needed to build—I knew to build a strong church that requires a building. We can't meet at Starbucks. Don't you—can't—don't be a part of this ministry and cheap out. We have a about—we have a church; we meet in a Starbucks in the back. You can do that if you have five people; you can't have this. We—I couldn't take you to Starbucks, all of you, and start speaking like this; they'd call the police, even if we bought coffee. You can't—you you'd overwhelm the business. So people make small little plans—their living room. Nothing wrong with starting in your living room, but if you're still there in three months, something's wrong. And I'll tell you what's probably wrong is that you're in your living room. I'm not saying this 'cause we have a building. I put my faith out in this direction when we had no building. I'm not having a church that meets in our living room. I'm going to preach about a big God, and we believe God to shake the world. You can't you can't acquire a place to have church and the and the Methodists and Episcopal and churches with rainbow flags were able to acquire property, and you can't? Then don't preach on faith, anything. The devil can do for his crowd, God will do a thousand times more for you. Can you say amen? Amen. Go ahead. So I want to hear how we got this building, 'cause I was on the road. Which building? This one? This one here? 107. Yep. Um, so I was just coming out of um, maternity. I was probably for about two weeks, and I felt impressed to tell Pastor Sam—Sam Valz—I said, "Be my feet and grab me the number of every for-lease building." And so in my mind I had already envisioned that it was like a warehouse-style building. Pause it real quick. Yes. So what's that? That's called putting action to your faith. Yeah, we're believing for building; let's find where the buildings are and see what happens. We can't afford what? No, just go get your feet on the ground. Jesus, seeing their faith, healed their friend. Faith is not sit in your room believing for for something; you believe, then you go and do. Yes. Amen. Continue. So then he started sending me different photographs and uh, phone numbers of certain plots that he would see, and then he said, "Hang on a second; I found the owner of this current building." This one's different. And so I just kind of waited with baited breath, and he said, "I just met this—" and then he he called me; he was like, "Do you have a moment?" And so he said, "I—" Let me make another point off your testimony. Yes. Spiritual woman, Mallus; spiritual man, Pastor Sam Valz. It work with people of faith. If I had a pick—if I if I—let's say I needed to acquire property for a church in Los Angeles, and I had my pick between using the top real estate executive firm in LA, and they volunteered to do it for free, or using Pastor Dean, I'd use Pastor Dean because yeah, that real estate place will find yourself, and they'll find it for you; they can get it for 30% off because they know the guy, but then spiritual people get things supernaturally. Yes, and it feels Supernatural. Work with spiritual people; get around spiritual people; hire spiritual people; hire people that are full of the Holy Ghost and have sensitive Spirits. Why why is Mallus on maternity leave and thinking about the building? Because she's spiritual. I tell her to start a church; I should have been the one that was thinking. She did it because you you get spiritual people around you, like like Brother Kof is always thinking about growing the church; he gets almost no no credit. People think of Jonathan—Jonathan, you have a great church. Meanwhile—and then the guy that would ran all the Reinhard Bonnke Crusades was in the front row at Paichi. How old is he now? 71. Set up all those two-million-man Crusades—million—nobody knows his name; they know Reinhard Bonnke, but that guy Bonnke told everybody that would listen—that guy's the secret to my Ministry. You take him away, I got nothing. See, get—you'll get your—find them—somebody jells with your spirit; you can tell they're anointed; pull them in. I could tell Abraham was anointed when he came to visit the church. I said, "You you work here now." Do what? Do you want him to do? We'll figure out what he's good at, but but I want—anointed people are rare. That's why if you'll pray and be in these prayer services and pray like you are and get anointed—the Bible says, "A man's gift makes room"—in the Book of Proverbs—if you'd find it, put up on the screen: "A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before Great Men." It's impossible to develop your spiritual gifting and not have opened doors because that gift on its own begins to open doors. Why did Paichi feel to have me come to the church? With me just cracking jokes. And then what about uh, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills texted me yesterday that we're going to do three Crusades together in the Caribbean in February, the first time he's ever had somebody preach alongside him in a crusade. You think I'm the mo—you think I'm the best preacher he's ever met? No chance, but whatever—I got a little something in my tummy that opened stuff up. Yeah, that I'll tell you, man, you can't you can't beat the anointing. Yes. People can't lay a hand on you. You know how many people want to have wanted to shut this church down for two and a half years? Where are they? How come you can't do it? How come you always get so far and then can't touch it? Because it's not yours to touch, 'cause it's not mine; it's Jesus's. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Where is it? Let me see the scripture again. Proverbs 18:16: "A man's gift maketh room for him and brings him before Great Men." Hallelujah. Not just any room—makes room for you to be among the top. I'm telling you, when I was your age, I was at certain places sitting two-thirds of the way in the back. "Who are you?" Like that guy, like mid-sermon, "Who are you?" "My name is Jonathan." "Jonathan what?" "Shuttlesworth." "Oh, you're in the ministry?" Yeah. You know, like they just like—people—people are drawn to you and don't know why. Yeah. Then if you're unanointed, everything's capital campaign, fundraising, car washes, fish fries, multi-level marketing meeting on Saturday to help raise more money for the church. You can skip all that crap and just spend time with God, and it'll just flow. Because as much as I teach on finances and stuff, what did I do to get half a million dollars yesterday? No newsletter went out; no agency was used; no real—went out, "Hey guys, this is Jonathan." The anointing attracts numbers. You know what? I think I got my sermon for tonight; I'm going to preach on all the things the anointing does. Amen. Opens doors, brings you before Great Men. Jesus—the word Christ wasn't his last name; he didn't come from the Christ Family. Christ meant and means anointed one. So he's born, and all of a sudden wealthy Magi from the East feel like they need to go bring him—bring gold to this certain place. The anointing attracts wealth, just like sin repels wealth. The anointing attracts wealth. Get anointed; get—then once you get anointed, get more anointed; then once you get more anointed, get over anointed. Yes, and stay that way. Get refilled. Follow the book of the book of Acts Church; they they were just in the upper room with tongues of fire on their head; then they're in a room two chapters later getting it all again. Yeah, maintain a continuous filling.

Of the Holy Ghost be not drunk with wine, for that'll ruin your life. Remember that alcohol is a repellent to the anointing. How many Ministries you want me to list off that have lost their Ministries in the last 18 months because of alcohol? So anybody that put it in your head that it's fine, there's stupid; you should listen to me. I dress like I drink, but I don't drink; never have, never will. Don't touch it. Be not drunk with wine, for it will ruin your life, but instead be full of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The new wine, drink that; be drunk on that. Whatever feeling people are trying to get from whatever they're drinking, I already have it and more without any of the negative side [Applause] effects. I need to drink to relax, act to go to sleep? Try not having stress from being in the blessing of God. You have to drink to go to sleep, Brother Tony? No, me and Brother Tony are anointed sleepers; we could—I could sleep standing up like a [Laughter] horse. Go ahead, uh, MOS, where was I? You said so, so Sam said this one's different.

Oh yeah, so then he said I was—I got out of my car to take a picture for you, and the owner came up to me and said, "How can I help you?" And so he said, "I'm interested in this building." And so she was like, "I was just putting some stuff away in my vehicle," and I lifted my hands to the Lord and said, "Please, I need somebody to take this building from me." And so I, like a bad out of hell, got on my camera; I shot over here like an angel from heaven. Continue. Here's the thing: if you knew the all of the—the different Acquisitions that we had before, it has been just like this; it's been super easy, super fast; some sort of Supernatural element where, at that point, you know, it first started off with the brid—first uh, actually it started long before that, even with the office. We needed uh, an update in office space, and then the Lord provided that. Then we got the first Bridgeville building, super easy; then the second Bridgeville building, super easy; and then this one had that same feeling like when he talks about being in—feel it like you understand when—when this one's in the flow. So I got in my car and I ran over here just to take a look, to—to see, you know, what the building uh, looks like. And actually the owner was the one that gave me the tour, and so we went through each floor. She was talking about the steel that they used; I mean, they just did an amazing job in this whole building, and I was just loving it, and I could see the church in this building. So takes us all the way up to the third floor, brings us back down, and I'm coming down the steps and she says, "Mag," and I like look up to her and she says, "I have a feeling this is your building," and it was just like—it was a Holy Ghost moment. I mean, I still think about it and I'm like, "Oh my gosh!" And little did I know uh, all of the—the behind the scenes that they were even related; that there was, you know, a history between his—his mother and her, which I didn't know; nobody knew; nobody knew at that time. And so I said, "I really—I—I believe that uh, Miss Patty, I really do." And so we went down and we got into the car; Pastor Dallas was with me, and I said, "I really feel this—that this is our building; this one's—this one's ours." So Pastor Do said, "I believe it too." So she runs—she gets out of the car and does seven laps around the building. I still have video footage of her running around the building like, "This is our building! This is our building!" She even had oil and she had anointed the grounds. And so that's basically—I mean, do you want me to go into everything else or no? I guess that's good because it's almost too—I—I'll finish it, but I just—just so you don't think it's like—believe the Bible.

Yeah, and let me tell you another thing that the anointing will do and that you need to tap into: people are—are repelled by wimpy, squeamish, needy people. Yeah, and that's how most of you have been taught, if you've hung around any preachers, how to get things. We don't, you know, "Hey, you know, when the lady said that—own this building, I believe this building belongs to you," well that's a nice thing to say. I don't know how he'd ever afford something like that. People don't like that kind of talk. Talk like you have $1 billion dollars in the bank. I don't mean to tell people you have a billion dollars in the bank and lie; I mean, act like it and talk like it. Talk like you actually believe there's a physical God that you serve that owns all the silver and all the gold, and He called you to that City and gave that City to you. And pe—people are actually attracted to that. People are attracted to a forceful person who's on a mission, and like you can tell they're going to do it. If you don't give me this one, no problem; I'm going to get a building, you'll be sure of that. Yeah, in fact, one of the guys that I've met since I started this church, who's a very, very wealthy man—very wealthy—when we had outgrown this building, he asked me—not like an unbelief, like just wondering, "How are you going to get the money for another building? You know, now that the church has grown as big as it is, it's at least going to be 25 million, and no banks are going to give loans for—for a church." I said, "I don't take loans anyway." He said, "Yeah, well then how are you going to get the money?" I said, "It won't be a problem." He said, "How's—is not going to be a problem?" I said, "Because I have the ability to call in any amount whenever it's needed, right away." Now, that—that would, you know, should make a guy like—or whatever, he like this, all right? And he's helped since. People like a confident—if you're a leader, what's the scripture? Can you find that—P it up about the um, the bugler must sound a clear call? Take that in and see what comes up. I know it sounds like it's not a Bible verse, but it is: the bugler must sound a clear call, so that he that hears him—what is it?

1 Corinthians 14:8. Let me see in the Amplified Classic; that's great. 1 Corinthians 14:8; that's exactly what it is. Thanks, Max. And if the war bugle gives an uncertain indistinct call, who will prepare for battle? Let me see King James: For if the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to battle? People aren't going to go to war with you if your voice quivers, is what it's saying. Yeah, come on. You know, whether we get the building or not, I don't know; we don't know what the future—you need to know what the future hopes when it pertains to your assignment. You need to talk to the one that knows the future and tell people what the future holds. So if you give an uncertain sound, no one's going to go to war with you. Yeah, if you tell everybody, "Today's the smallest this church will ever be; we're moving out of here to the soccer complex; we're going to pack that out; and when the Penguins are done with their lease on PPG Arena, we're going to take that one over," people start coming from everywhere. When the bugler gives a certain sound, receive a Grace today that you give a certain sound, that you tell your vision, make it plain; let people know this isn't—we're not trying to do this; we're going to get it done, in Jesus' name! Hallelujah! All right, 151. Let me take some questions since this is Bible school, then I'll leave you alone. Anybody get anything on it today? Questions? Row three, obviously, whenever you're starting out—say your name first, everybody, so that I can like learn the names of the people who go to our church.

M, my question is, obviously, whenever you're starting out, whether you're a pastor, evangelist, you're going to take whatever opportunities are presented to you. At what point, you know, whether you are supposed to serve under somebody else's Ministry or start out on your own and take your own Ministry, the same way you knew to come to Bible College here or whatever other correct spiritual decisions you made? You just know, like, okay—when I felt like Adallas was the girl to marry—if I thought about, okay, I had a girlfriend or two before her—if I thought about marrying them—yeah, sorry—sorry, you may have seen me on the Jerry Springer Show—if I thought about marrying them, I got it like—didn't feel like it was like—and there was no reason; they were Bible college girls, you know, they were fine, but it was like—it feels like—like—and then—but then with Adallas, when I thought about it, it—I didn't get that feeling; it's just like—so like, if you were considering two different Bible schools, you know, why'd you come here? One maybe thought—or two different options: going to work with your uncle or coming here. Everything might have even made sense to go work with your uncle, but then every time you thought about it, you felt tense; then when you thought of this, you know—that that scripture—and I'm not teaching this as proper Bible interpretation, but I heard someone say this and it makes sense to me: when Elizabeth talked to Mary, her baby jumped on the inside of her. Yeah, what makes your baby jump? Somebody said that—were you talking? It's like that's the thing; it's like when Mallus called that day and told me about the building, it's like—I don't even know where it is or what it looks like—you don't even have to send me any pictures—that I like—what I'm hearing. When they showed me the property, the 36 acres before we had purchased it, I just started giggling: "This is the place!" Could feel it in my bones. So that's—out—just—and then like M was saying, everything's easy and flows; it's like—D, how do I know? I haven't prayed about whether to do the Crusades with him. It makes sense; an angel would need to tell me, "Don't go," because it makes it just, you know. Yeah. Oh, the top evangelist in the world wants me to do three Crusades with them. I didn't have to ask and say like, "Hey, Lcen, if I—if I were to pay for two of the Crusades, would there be a chance I could speak one?" None of that; "Let's do some Crusades together, me and you." You got it; just easy. Yeah, His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Help! Amazing! Thank you. Name? You told me your name before. My name is Serenity. Serenity. Um, if you feel like you're called to uncommon Nations, how do you get like connected to them? Because um, I'm not saying it would be easy for me to go to Africa, but like I have an idea of how I can put myself out in that way, but if it's like an uncommon combination, how would you go about it?

Um, well, you find out what you have to do to go to that Nation. If you need a visa, which you probably do if it's an uncommon Nation, then you get your visa, and I'd get my feet on the ground. If I didn't know any of the details, I would at least get in the geographical region of where I felt called. You know, if I was living at the time in like uh, uh, Idaho, and the Lord said, "Build Me a strong Church in Pittsburgh," I'd get here; I'd like—I'd start preaching here once a month or something, and I'd get on the ground, because good things happen when you're at the place you're supposed to be. Yeah, rather than sitting home—the Lord—Lord's like, "Yes, I would be happy—of you can you please go to where I told you to go?" So I—I'd find the way to get in the country, even if it was a tourist visa. If it's like uh, you know, wherever—I just find a way to get there, and then God honors Steps of Faith like that. Then when you go there, that—that cuz that's real faith. Faith isn't just believing confession; it's believing confession and action. And so when you make the move off of your faith, then God will honor that. Yeah, I mean like immediately; people be waiting for you at the airport. We were praying, and the Lord told us some—when was coming to that kind—that's when that kind of stuff happens. It won't happen here if you're called to Sri Lanka; it'll happen in Sri Lanka. Does that help? Yes. Front row. Oh no, go ahead. Let's get two mics. Dave. Dave. Uh, can you walk us through your personal preparation for preparing a deep meaningful sermon, maybe perhaps something that you haven't preached on before? Because you know, we all know you can just preach at any time, but for those of us that are just starting off, you know, what is some of the key aspects of preparing a really, really good sermon, like intro, me, conclusion, etc.?

I would listen to preaching all the time, and then there's—s an anointing on people who are anointed preachers that'll get on you by impartation, and uh, the impartation you get from here and them preach, and then it'll stir stuff in you to preach. And um, I'll tell you a great sermon preparation tool is ChatGPT, and by that I don't mean have it to ask it, "What should I preach on today?" I mean, if you feel like preaching—like say you're feeling something—St in your spirit to preach on, give me a—give me something—like if preach on salvation [Music] um, show me—ChatGPT—show me 10 scriptural instances or examples of someone's life being changed through salvation with Jesus Christ. See what 10 scriptures come up; see which one kind of best fits what you—what you were going to speak on today. Today I got one because I never got to my notes, but I was going to talk about basing your ministry on the word, and I had uh, Grok and ChatGPT give me 10 scriptures where the Bible talks about the power of itself. So some I knew and some—yeah, I've read the Bible through, but some I forgot. Jeremiah 23:29: "Does not My word burn like fire?" says the Lord; "Is it not like a mighty Hammer that smashes the Rock to Pieces?" Here—here they all are. 1 Peter 1:23: "You've been regenerated, not from a mortal origin, but from one that is immortal by the everliving and Lasting word of God." Uh, John 17:17: "Sanctify them; purify; consecrate; separate them for Yourself; make them Holy by the truth; Your word is truth." So I would get it in my spirit: "What do you feel passionate about speaking on?" And then develop it from there. And then I would say the missing link that most preachers skip that makes their sermon incomplete is—it's like they develop a flight plan where they're taking off from—how long they're going to fly and in what direction, but they never—where they're going to land. So what—where preaching is not an end to itself; when you finish—what—what is the end of the service going to be? Are you given an altar call for people to get saved? Is it a service to lead to the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Are you going to have a healing line? So you—you—you want to preach with that in mind. And then when it breaks—if everybody's up on their feet clapping and you still have two points to go—I'm in there. If you're going to do healing, all right, you're already up on your feet: "I want everybody that wants prayer for healing to—to come forward right now!" And then if you do that, you know, my dad has a thing he says that's pretty funny: "How many good—how many good—how many points should a good sermon have? At least one!" So you don't need a ton of points; you can make a point, and then I will tell you this too that'll make preaching easier: people don't know anything. So you've heard something a thousand times, but people have never heard Mark 11:22 through 24—Faith moving the mountain—or what—what caught you and your wife—what—what uh, what did I preach on the night you guys gave your—your—or recommitted or gave your lives to the Lord? And what do you remember from that night? What—what about it like struck you and made it where you not only got saved but you ended up moving from Oregon here?

Uh, honestly, I don't remember, but it was really powerful, and I was at a church that you know you have talked about before where there's a lot of Q and there's not a lot of power, etc., etc. And uh, we felt called to come there. You called us out of the crowd the second time you were in Salem and you said—whatever you spoke about privately before this—to put the kingdom first—uh, God honors that, and literally the car ride before that we decided to move to Pittsburgh, and I didn't have a plan on going to the Bible college, but that—that was like the main element. Yeah, interesting. So yeah, that's uh—and we have a homiletics class where they'll teach you how to prepare sermons. I will say, as much as it looks like I freelance because I do—I—I have notes, and I would encourage notes for probably the first five to seven years, just not be tied to them so much—like if you hit a point or you see somebody in the crowd and the Holy Ghost starts pulling you in a direction, be willing to abandon your notes, but you—you should have notes to abandon. That way, if people don't have notes and there's nothing moving, cuz you're not going to preach at Revival today Church a lot or maybe at all; you're going to go to some place where there's nothing—the praise and worship team made you feel like joining another religion, and then the announcements were depressing—the announcement—"How many you remember Brother Johnson that we prayed for last week? He passed away. And so please welcome our speaker tonight." There's nothing. So if you're looking to like flow off of what's in the room, there's nothing in the room. So then what? That's when you see people go like, "All right, come on! Look how many know we serve a living God! Let's all lift our hands and pray in tongues!" You start barking orders at people, trying to make an atmosphere that's not there, whereas if you have confidence in the Bible and you have notes, then it doesn't matter if nothing's flowing. I have 10 secrets to answered prayer; three keys for—to see every sickness or disease healed; and I—and I'm happy to get into it; I don't need like to go off the flow of the service. So if there's no flow, you don't have to manufacture one; you can just preach the word, and then that'll create a flow. Was there somebody over here? Go ahead. And then let me—let me have Zach go. Zach. Right. I don't have any—confused with your other brothers. Go ahead. So while you were in Africa with Dr. Paichi, what was something that you learned under him that you would share with us? Did you watch any of the services? I did. What did you learn watching it? What—what stood out to you? The power of God that moved—just—simply through the word of God—being able to sit there and watch and—and see that whole crowd just receive the thing that was really struck me—and I wouldn't say it's something I learned; it was just amazing how there's a 100,000 people there, but it's like there's 80 people there. You know what I mean, Jay? It's not like a big Crusade; it's like a church service; it's like it felt like this, but then you would just look around; there's—it's orderly, you know. So—and then I—I feel—which is probably why God's attached me to him—how his service was a Crusade—I—he liked me saying this—I said, "Your church is a Crusade Church hybrid." He told his wife, he said, "Tell my wife what you said," because it—and he's a Crusade evangelist, and that's how Revival today churches—it's like—it's not a normal Sunday morning, but it's not a straight—it's not an Outreach, but it feels like it's got the best of both things. And his church was like—it's like a Crusade, but it was an orderly church service; it was awesome. So I—I just liked, you know, after seeing that—nobody—now Jonathan, the way you have church, it's only going to grow so big because people want um, something that—no—not ever—not apparently the biggest one in the world. I'm kind of already on the track that—

Leads. Now I know where the track of on leads, so that's all that's what I got out of it. Your name again? Ava. That help. And there was nothing like that that jumped out of it. It was just awesome to see and really when you see something, it it it puts it in your spirit to be able to produce it.

For me, Zach, when you first start getting opportunities to preach, what are some of the things that you recommend preaching on? Oh, great, great question. Not some of the things, this is I would preach on nothing but these four things until you turn 30 or until you've been in the ministry about nine years: salvation through Jesus Christ; the baptism in the Holy Spirit with and speaking with tongues; the soon return of Christ, the Rapture, the soon return of Christ, the Catching away of the Saints and the tribulation; the follow and all that; and Divine Healing. Those are the four cardinal doctrines of uh every Pentecostal organization. If you—now my uncle Ted told Teddy that when he was at Rama, "Don't preach on any of those anything except those four things." And when I heard that, I thought that seems pretty restrictive, but then after listening to what people preach on, I realize why he told he gave my cousin those guys guidelines, because people preach absolute crap. You know, I'm not saying you can't interpret dreams, but I would preach on those four things, and I I could I'm not look, you know, I would love to play video clips for you of people doing it the wrong way, but then I'm not looking to embarrass people on YouTube and make enemies. But I mean, I I could play what people feel to preach on, you know, that Donald Trump is the one being referred to in Isaiah 56:6. No, he's not. You're nuts, or you just want clicks. So you end up if if you don't stay on the foundational doctrines. That's why I like that our Bible college students went to Africa right out of Bible School. It'll make you a different Minister, going and preaching in places with one light bulb. You can't preach on stupid things; you have to preach on things that help mothers get their babies healed and stuff. And then that that sets like a—then you come home, you don't switch gears; it kind of like makes you that kind of preacher for the rest of your life. So I would preach what on what four things for the first nine nine years or so?

I'll give you another tip off the off the cuff, and I'll stop at 2:15, even though I'd stay here all day with you. I'll give you another tip off the cuff: a lot of times they're going to have you preach in youth meetings or college or age, and the people are rowdy; the youth pastor has no Authority, so that you know they give you the mic, it's like it's not even set up to be a service; people aren't even seated; people are talking; people have food. It's those kind of settings. I'll tell you a way when a youth pastor somebody tells you, "Just so you know, these are inner-city kids and they don't behave; we've had to have several of them thrown out last week for fighting during the service." I'll tell you how you can shush any crowd without being mean or authoritative: preach on the Rapture. Anytime I got invited—not anytime—but after I learned this, anytime it was a rough crowd out, I would crack open Second Peter, chapter 3, and read about the Lord is not willing that any should perish, but he's giving more time for people to repent, for the day will come suddenly, and and start talking, and then talk about nuclear war, and all of a sudden people are very well behaved. And I will tell you, if you're going to be at a place a few days, like they invite you to do a weekend retreat or something and it you know even the youth pastor will tell you or the pastor, like, "These are our church people, so I know you're more of an evangelist, but like these people are all saved," and you preach on salvation and sin or the Rapture, and watch two-thirds of the people that are all saved, including some of his staff, come to the Altar and get saved. Who knows that everybody's saved? I mean, what an arrogant state, "All our people are already know the Lord." Oh yeah, you keep the Lamb's Book of Life up in your, you know, you got an associate pastor with a Tinder account who's married, but you don't know, but God knows. I would start with salvation. I I'd do it anywhere. My dad preached on it at the Bible at my Bible School alumni meeting, and three people came to the Altar and gave their life to Christ—people that graduated Bible school and were in the ministry—people people are nuts. So that helps them be un-nuts. Does that help? Don't launch in. One time I got invited to preach at a um Word of Faith Church in New Jersey to their youth group, and I thought, "Finally, I'm not going to be in some dead denominational church; I'm preaching at a rama church; I'm going to preach on the gifts of the Spirit; I I can like skip a a couple steps." It was the worst service probably I ever preached because they weren't saved; those kids weren't saved. And then I realized, and I'd done that a couple more times, and I started thinking like this is this I'm making a mistake to just assume church kids are saved. I should start with the Rapture and salvation through Jesus Christ and Hell. Preach on hell. You know, when I say Sal, preach on salvation, I mean preach on all of it. Why did Jesus come to die on a cross? So we could have happier lives? Or because there's a hell with never-ending fire? Get Dag Haywood Mills' book, um, *How How You Can Preach Salvation*, and it has 120 salvation messages in it, and preach that and never let salvation get old to you. And don't give reluctant altar calls. Before we go, does anyone need Jesus Christ? Anyone at all? When you say "anyone at all," you've already given up on it; people already feel like they're the only one. If you say "anyone at all," they're not coming because they're nervous. Who here needs Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior? And I'll tell you another thing, uh, if no one—what if no one comes? Who cares? What are you—you know, it's not your religion; you're a worker in Christianity, so it's like who cares? Just get—like I pray you get that impartation from me, too. It's like, who cares? No one came; I did my best, so hopefully Billy Graham's ghost will come next week and can get the rest of the people saved, but you got me today, and I did my best. Then go go have a happy lunch. Who's next? Uh, go go. Oh, you have a mic already. Go ahead.

My name is Grace, um, from where? Connecticut. Which part again? New Milford. New Milford, okay. Yes. Um, so earlier this week you were talking a little bit about honor, and we just saw you do that so well with Dr. Paul. Um, how do you do that in a way that just doesn't come across like butt-kissy? You have to mean it. That's how, because it it does come across as they say in Connecticut, butt-kissy, if you're—I'm I'm from New England, so I I get you. Um, if it's fake, it sounds like that. If you genuinely honor the person, which is why you don't hear me go into the big diet tribe much at every—I don't do that at every church because I it would sound fake because it would be fake. But him, he's impacted my life; the people I talked about from Nigeria that impacted my life, impacted my life. So it's not it's not hard to say, 'cause I I really love him and what he's done and how God's used him in my life. So you have to mean it. And then if you can't mean it, Nigeria is a big honor culture, so is Ghana, so is a lot of Africa, maybe all of Africa. Um, I normally skip that. If I have 38 minutes on a clock countdown, I'm not I'm not using four of it to thank the entire front row of preachers. You know what I mean? Like it's a Hall of Fame induction ceremony. I like get I like getting right to right to the preaching. But there there it's would be a slap in the face. I wrote something on Twitter. Um, anywhere you're going to go to preach—I couldn't do this when I was starting out because the technology didn't exist—I would watch their live streams; I would see what their flow is; what's normal, not that you got to fit into it, but you can like give a head nod to the rules of the house before you break them. Does that make sense? Yeah. Or they at least you know there rules that you're breaking. Does that help? Yeah. Just be genuine. If you can't do it genuinely, then just go straight to the preaching, which is what I usually do. Who's uh—Hannah?

Hannah, um, so you just kind of answered my question, but my question is, is when you get asked to preach somewhere and you don't really like know the church that well, would you ask like the preacher some questions before you go to that church so you know like for sure like, "Hey, this is a good church to go preach to," or would you like just watch the live streams like you just said? Um, I'd watch the live stream, and like for me, I just went and preached everywhere. The only exceptions were the only reason I don't now is finally as of about three or four years ago, I have more invitations than I can get to, so I do have to shuffle the deck or sort the pack out. But when I didn't, my thought was always, whatever is wrong with the place, it's better to be on the road doing something than not doing anything. The only exception would be if the Lord—if I got a check, "Don't go there," which was few. Or I'll tell you what else would happen, like one guy in West Virginia called and said, "Hey, listen, I know you like to call people out and pray for them, and I believe in that, but we had a guy come and he caused a lot of problems, so uh, I would just ask you not to like call people out in the gift while you're here." I said, "Well, then I can't I can't go, because I I don't know how to do that," and uh, I'm sure and I it wasn't mean or anything. I said, "I'm sure there's plenty of people that that that would come that would be happy not to do that, but I can't," and I felt like when he asked me to do that, I felt like it was a test from the Lord whether I would like tell the Holy Spirit to hit the road so I could have a meeting or whether I would stay principal. But those—I mean, I was like two or three times that I turned anything down. And then now now I have a questionnaire, but you you don't have to ask questions; just watch the Facebook Live; watch what their church is like; watch what they believe; watch what they preach, not that you got to, but just know know what you're getting yourself into. You know, and it's also good to do that, too, because what if the pastor's wife just died of cancer three months ago? You're not going to not preach on healing, but you're going to go about it a little differently. You you know, if you didn't know that she died of cancer and you come up and say, you know, "Some of these people's claim to believe in Divine Healing; their own families aren't aren't even healed"—not that you should say something like that anyway—but then someone told—you know, you were just making a point, and I say, "Hey, just you know, my wife passed away, too, have months ago, so you know," or you say that and it gets icy cold; you see a couple people go like this, and you don't know what what's their problem. Know what you're getting into; do a little recon work. I don't mean recon work is in getting the then looking who members of the church and finding out what color car they drive so you can have pretend words of knowledge. I just mean know what kind of service, what what kind of church you're going into. Who's next? Go ahead.

Name? Hi, my name is Isaiah. I'm from Nebraska. U and my question is, do you know of any New Testament prophets that you would say, "Okay, that person is respectable; I respect their ministry; that's someone that I can say alive right now?" Yes. Oh, yeah. My my uncle Ted, Rodney Howard Brown, uh, Adalis. I feel Adalis is a prophet. I don't know if she would consider yourself one. She has great reads on things. She's told me stuff that's going to happen. I was dealing with a situation early earlier this year. I said, "What what are we going to do about that?" She said, "You don't have to worry about it; that guy's never going to come back to Pittsburgh." He never came back. And and he was supposed to come back. She'll tell me, "Nothing's going to come of this." She told me that 24.8 acres of land that we have, she said, "I'm just telling you right now, that's not where we're going to build the church." And I would argue with her, "Uh, yes we are, because it's 24.8 acres. And do you have another plot of land? No. Then what do you say we use the one we have?" And she just go, "I'm just telling you that's not where the church is going to be. I know in my spirit where it's going to be; it's not there." So I'd recommend Adalis. I'd recommend—so there's three: Rodney Howard Brown, Ted Shuttlesworth senior, and Adalis. And there's many more. Bishop David Oyedepo. I I feels graduated to Apostle without question, but he said he he says I'm a prophet. I' I' I'd recommend him strongly. Kofi could give you more, but they those would be the New Testament prophets. Have you seen my uncle Ted minister? Yes, sir. Notice how even he is a prophet. Number one functions as an event, in when I say Pastor, travels and preaches at churches, and secondly doesn't just get up and start prophesying; he preaches out of the Bible for a good hour. So there's no min—you know, Prophet isn't a license to be nuts; it's just it's just a different operation. Does that help? One more. Go. Two more. Go ahead. You first, sir.

I'm David, by the way, and um, from the Philadelphia area. That's right. Um, if you know God calls you to like a specific area after Bible school, right, how would you go about going there and starting a church? Like in instance, like I want to be a pastor and build a church from what I said early in my message, what what what would you say the answer is? I would say obviously look area, um, like Central PA. Okay. So with what I said today, you graduate, where are you going after graduation? Not sure exactly yet. Central—you feel called to Central PA? Where are you going to go? Central PA, right? And then once you get there, then you need a place to live. Get a place to live. Somebody has an empty home; pretend you're Venezuelan; just go right in. And uh, I'd go and then i' i' I'd start holding meetings. I'd hold meetings. Everything flows out of your preaching, so in your ministry, so I would go to central Pennsylvania; I would start getting clear and praying, "Where in Central PA?" Go to that town, and then I I would i' I'd get a I'd get a building and and announce meetings and put it out on Facebook. And if you could do it ahead of time, if you're graduating in April, if you could start announcing it in January and then see what happens. You know, three families come; there's 11 people there; one guy comes up and goes, "Hey, are you thinking of starting a church here?" And you were thinking of, "Yeah, well, we we we like you, and and I'd like to help you. I'm so and so; I'm the assistant to the mayor; I know of a property that's over on the west end of town if you want to go see it tomorrow; I know it's empty, and I know we need to put somebody in there because it's just rotting." We pray—could—that's what starts happening when people get exposed to your anointing in your preaching; it it draws something to want to attach to you and help you. So I'm glad he asked the question again because I apparently I wasn't strong enough on it in the beginning, and I'm not being sarcastic. Go where you're called and begin to preach where you're called. Am—does that help? Yes, thank you. Yep. Go ahead.

Um, I'm Pro, and um, I have a question for like post-graduation. So say you're planning to—when do you graduate? This year or next year? This year. So um, planning for after you graduate, would you should you plan a major event that you would hold in the area that you feel called to, or multiple events that are more consecutive? That's good thinking. I don't think either's a bad option. Maybe a major multi-day event. I like more than just one one-night things because it gives time for somebody that gets impacted that wants to bring their friends the next night or whatever. I three nights, whatever. Yeah, I like that. And and preach like you said. Go ahead. You have another thing? No, I was just gonna say thank you, sir. Oh, you're welcome. That helps. Yes, sir. I like that you guys already have things stirring in your spirit. Go ahead. M, and then I'll make—got the last one. My name is M; I'm from Hawaii. I wanted to ask just just from the perspective, like, I don't know anything about it, and because you hit it hard at towards the end of the of the, you know, of the thing, uh, how do I get anointed for the ministry? Well, you you are, and I say I say you are; you are. It's just it's just increasing it. Bible says, "You have an anointing from the Holy One that abides with you always." So every believer, once they're filled with the Holy Spirit especially, is Anointed for service, and then it's increasing it. So you follow this the plan of God, which was to bring you to this Bible School; you get—you know, you've had hands laid on you many times, so it's not like you you don't have something; you need it's just increasing what you have, and that never stops. I had people tell me after Wednesday night, "I can tell your you're different coming back from Nigeria than before." It's not like I was unanointed the week before, but you grow, and then I I should be stronger towards the end of the year than I am now. You just keep keep growing; keep getting around this—you know, not more people necessarily—but get around the people God brings in your life and get around them often and have them keep imparting to you. But you're you're doing great; don't beat yourself up, you know, if you're not, because you probably wind up having the same tendencies as I do. Or if you're out preaching in a Yankee Stadium with it packed all week, by the time you're 24, you feel like a failure, but you kind of are, but uh, don't let it stomp you; keep pushing. One more in this section. One more question. Oh, I'll do a—oh, there's two. Okay, Autumn, and then Griffin, then I'll be done, I promise.

So you've talked about um, like how to launch into pastoral ministry, starting a church, move there, hold a meeting. What about when you want to go into evangelism? How do you get yourself out there? Do you like post a picture of yourself like, "Hey, guys, I want to preach; have me in your church," or like do you get connections? How do you go about—so like I want to go into evangelism in America; do I what do I do? You know, well, one thing the Lord spoke to me when I was starting out that that really encouraged me is I was like, "I I need I need meetings," and the Lord spoke to me, "You only need one meeting." In other words, who knows what's going to happen? 'Cause I've had meetings where I I finally did get my schedule out booked and wished it wasn't because it was like double the size on the last night, but I had to go to South Africa because I scheduled meetings, whereas if you get one meeting, can blow it up. And then if you don't and you go home—I was in that boat a zillion times where, "Okay, that meeting's over; I have no more meetings." They'll come. I don't know how I don't I I don't know—like not for you, I don't know for me—how the heck did I end up in Aja, Nigeria? Why am I going to Millvale, New Jersey? This I I don't even remember.

How I met that guy, or why he wants me to come to his church, I don't remember. Uh, that would be the story with almost—there were a bunch of meetings this year and last year. I met the pastor for the first time when I came to the church. I don't remember how, you know. I was in LA, preaching; a guy felt to come down to be a part of the meeting that I'd never met. Well, you come to Seattle, went to that one; stuff came out of that. So, preaching—just preach and uh, take what's open, even if you don't want it to be your your end thing, you know. If you take something—how old are you right now? 19. So you graduated 21. You know, if you went to help your dad—I'm not saying you're supposed to or not supposed to—but I don't really want to be at my dad's church. I want to be an evangelist, and you will. But if he gives you something to do there, you're not committing to be there till you're 91. I would take what's open and keep—the only challenge is once you start getting a paycheck, to turn your faith off. I'll tell you what I wouldn't do: when I say take what's open, I wouldn't go work at Verizon or wherever else, because you won't you won't get back in. Now you have a paycheck, now you have a house; there's a different desperation when you're going to starve to death if God doesn't answer your prayer. You pray differently than like, oh, no, I would like to have some meetings, you know. Then when this is it, I'm not making any plan BS. So, but but but then if something opens up, like I worked for my dad when I got out, and his plan was for me to travel with him and play the drums and preach the youth night on Wednesday night, and I was cool with that. But as it progressed, you know, it'll progress, but and he did, and at least gave me a youth night to preach. Preaching is good; you're called to preach. Pastor, evangelist—either one's preaching. If anything opens up for you to preach, I'd preach. If a Methodist Church needs you to come in and fill in a Sunday once every three Sundays, I'd go fill in, you know what I mean? I don't want to be a Methodist pro—for—you're not—you're filling in once every three Sundays, and you'll learn to preach. You know, if you go to some Methodist Church that's got 13 people that are all over the age of 103, you're going to turn into a good preacher because it's a dead church.

I always wanted to go preach in like Southern churches or big Word of Faith churches when I got out of school. I'm so glad I was in tiny New England churches with no people, because it made you—you get no courtesy amen. You go preach in—If You Preach in Maine and have successful meetings, you could preach anywhere in the world. Those people don't give you anything. I don't mean money-wise, I mean emotion, love, eye contact—I mean the whole—I've never preached in a state where everybody's crosses their arms like like a four-year-old. You get them to uncross their arms, get them to the altar; if you can do that, there's no—you know. Meanwhile, you go preach in Alabama, open your Bibles, amen, we love the Bible—just get amens for for nothing. Have you ever seen me preach online when I'm down south and I'm like finding a scripture, and because it's taking too long, someone's like, amen? They're like just helping keep the momentum alive; they're like with you. So so so take take—that's why it's good. I'd go on a dolls' prison team, go preach to her cousins, because again, that—you can't preach crap in prison. You got you got to you have to be a good good speaker, and and it's great preaching in prison. It's not like they're mean or anything, but you you can't get up there and go like, how many, you know, like what—everything okay? You have to like actually speak and have actual things to say. So I would preach; I'd get involved in what you can get involved in here. Outreach, prison, all of the above. I I'd do as much as you possibly can, so that by the time you graduate, you you've preached a lot. Preaching in Section 8 housing at a basketball court with kids running around, it'll make you a good preacher. You you'll make you—and then and then so then when you are in a situation like I'm at right now, with people behaved, sitting listening—yeah, anybody can do that. But I don't have to have this; I could have like a super rowdy crowd that's barely listening, and I can get them on my side; I can get them to listen. I've done it before. So if you can do that, you can preach anywhere. But if you only know how to preach in air-conditioned churches with Christians, then—

I had a guy, this pastor one time at an Outreach, he had an outdoor Evangelistic Outreach, and he said, I'm going to preach the night, the first night, and then I'll have you preach the second night. First night, he gets a rowdy crowd, inner city, and he goes like this, maybe you preach tonight, and he was on, but he was like, if you only know how to do Church preaching, you're useless in other places. I mean, I was in um, what was the name—Northern Uganda, at the Kiran Dango refugee resettlement camp, and I go to preach, and I'm sure this was demonic—it was the dry season; there was about 4,000 of the people from the refugee camp that came out that were standing, and I was going to preach on the back of a—no, they had a stage set up and stuff. This small black cloud formed in the distance, and then and it looked like nothing—I mean, there was not one cloud in the sky except this; it was like the Elijah story but in Reverse, like it was negative. And then it got bigger, out of nowhere, and then right as I—it was time for me to preach—it poured rain, and the wind blew the stage down. I'm talking it was a demonic—as somebody that makes fun of people saying that kind of stuff—it was a demonic storm. So all of the all of the Americans and Canadians and Europeans that were on the trip ran back into the tour bus that they would take us from our little hotel to the meeting to like shield himself from the rain, and I just out of habit went to go with him, and I thought, you know what difference does it make? Go go to the bus with—go to the cinder block Hotel. So I I I grabbed a bullhorn from somebody and got on top of the pickup truck flatbed, and I went, everybody wait, and I told him, and I preached a short salvation message, real strong, gave an altar call, then I said, tomorrow night I'm going to lay hands on everybody that comes; I want to preach on how the same Jesus that saved your soul will heal you; bring everybody you know. And I said to The Interpreter, cuz it was a un—Refugee, I said there's nothing here anyway, so I said, even if you don't like like me, it's the best thing going on. They laughed. I said, I'll see you tomorrow night; I'll pray for everybody that's here. So I go back in, soaked, and the the Ugandan um guy that was running it, he went, wow, he said the people love you; he said they were so surprised that you would stand out in that rain as an American to preach to him. And then that's when—if you ever hear me telling the story—that the two Anglican guys were like, you need to be careful; you said you're going to lay hands on everyone; some of these people have the AIDS, you know. So yeah, no kidding; why go to Africa then? I was going to pray for you, but I heard a lot of you have AIDS, so what an idiot. So uh, you go—the next night there was a lot of people, like a lot, 10,000 or so, and then uh the the storm didn't go that time, but I'm tell—you know, you'll be in situations like that. Bullhorn, rowdy crowd, people never heard—if you develop that, you can develop that—you can—if you can preach in Section 8 America, every every place else is going to be easy, and then you'll find—I don't mean they're difficult, they're receptive. My daughter had 14 out of 406 come forward to receive Christ. It's just it's you—it'll turn you into a preacher that can actually communicate Christianity, not just like like you know, either either the two extremes, the this extreme. And so as we contemplate how—why a Creator would come and dwell Among Us um, you know, they'll leave, they'll go back in their house, and then if you do the ultra—I'm not hearing anybody; I'm not hearing anybody in this section of the basketball court; let me try over—someone's going to go, and then I'll go like this—shoot him again. You actually have to speak, so that'll be good.

Those of you that are watching online tonight, we have Miracle service at 6:00, moving it up 1 hour, at the at 1442 corapolis Heights Road, on the new property. If you're anywhere within two hours driving, I'd start leaving now and get there; it's going to be a powerful night tonight on the anointing. And then um, Saturday, same place, monthly communion service. Sunday morning, main event for Fort Worth, 9:00 a.m.; Pittsburgh, 10:00 a.m. If you're watching around New Jersey, I'll be in milville, about 45 minutes from Camen. If you're in eastern Pennsylvania, milville, New Jersey, home of Mike Trout, right, and uh, we'll be there preaching Sunday night through Friday night, 7 o'clock. I'd love to see you in person while we're at it. The week after that, two weeks after that, we're doing the NFC North tour: Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, and then I threw Denver in too, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th. I've never preached in any of those four cities, so I'm knocking them all out. Then that'll leave me with North Dakota and Arkansas and Mississippi as the only States I've left to preaching; Idaho, Montana, Wyoming—six left. So then I can knock all that that out in a week. I'll do a a tour called the middle of nowhere tour; seriously, that's what I'm going to name that one. So Detroit, looking forward to seeing you; Chicago, looking forward to seeing you; Minneapolis, looking forward to seeing you; and Denver—we should rename it from the NFC North to to all of the city's Trump will lose Tour: Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Denver—the dark blue tour tour. So I guess judging from the response, we'll keep it as the NFC North tour, September 17th through the 20th. So Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, and Colorado, look forward to seeing you there. Let traga know what's the name of that uh gang that took over the apartment complex in Aurora? Trend—how does no one know? I just didn't want to say it wrong in Spanish. Trend—it's Trend something, TR r n de—anybody in the comments? Is it AAA araga? I left out a couple letters—TR araga—let them know that we'll be in Denver; they're welcome to the meeting. Whoever has the most face tattoos, we're going to have a prize; going to have a good time. Amen amen. Stand on your feet everybody. Were you blessed today? Father, thank you for your hand on all these students; thank you for your hand on all the adults that are here, all the all the church members, all our friends, all the visitors. I pray that they would never lack open doors; I pray that their life would never cease to make impact on their generation; I pray they would do Great and Mighty things for you and your kingdom and receive a great reward on the day we're caught up out of the earth to meet you in the air, in Jesus' name. Bless their lives, bless their faithfulness for leaving their families and everything that was comfortable and go into the land that you showed them, in Jesus' name. I pray that a new generation of pastors, great pastors with hearts for their cities, would be raised up out of this school; that firef—filled evangelists would be raised up out of this school and go go all over America, all over Canada, all over Mexico, all over the nations of the world and make great impact, in Jesus' name. Everybody said amen? Amen. All right, I'm scooting out here cuz I'm going to I'm I'm going to go home and change and come right back, but I hope you enjoyed this, and I know I kept you a long time, but I'm not here every week, and uh I wanted to spend some time with you and just give you everything I know, and I and I'll we'll do it again. I'll be I'll be back. Have a great Friday. God bless you everybody.
