Faith And Patiences Inherit
After grappling with the intertwining nature of faith and contemporary issues, we invite you to explore with us the powerful message that "Faith And Patiences Inherit," rooted in Hebrews chapter 6. We'll share insights on the dangers of spiritual regression versus the rich promises of faith and righteousness, inspired by the tenacity of Abraham. This journey touches on the significance of national faithfulness and how modern leadership can align with divine promises, urging us to remember God's unwavering memory of our good deeds and the love we extend to others.
Reach down and pick up our Bibles and lift them up and wave them around Livestream. Get your Bibles out, please, and follow along with us. We want to give you God's perspective on some of the things that we've been in through and remind you of some things and give you some things to look forward to From the Word of God, god's perspective. That's my job to give you God's side of things and my side of things so you can be encouraged even more than you are now. We're all encouraged, we're on a high, and that's fine. We can have a victory lap. We deserve it. Let's wave our Bibles around. Let's make Jesus glad, the devil mad. Let's say this together Say Heavenly Father, I'm so glad to be here today. First of all, I worship you and I praise you. I thank you that I'm saved. I thank you. The Holy Ghost lives in me. The greater one puts me over and today I just forget about the troubles in my life. I forget about the things that I'm facing personally and I'm going to pick up the corporate things. I'm going to look at the big picture and I know you'll take care of everything else, in Jesus' name, amen, amen, not that we're going to not pray about your things, but sometimes we just need to zoom out and get the big picture. Let's look at Hebrews, chapter 6, and I'm going to assign homework today. Read the whole chapter, but we're not going to read the whole chapter this morning. You need to do that on your time, when you can, but we're going to read part of it, we're going to pick up. Let me just first of all say the book of Hebrews theme is Jesus is better. I'll say the book of Hebrews theme is Jesus is better.
Speaker 1:And this chapter is about. You know, when you read it it talks about how that that I believe Paul wrote Hebrews. It doesn't say so, but I believe he did. Sounds like him. Some people differ, well, whatever, but he, he basically reminded them that there's things that he'd like to share with them, but they weren't able to bear them because they had regressed. A lot of people in the church have regressed and they've gone backward. And he said you know you're unskillful in the word of righteousness. You need milk. I can't give you the meat.
Speaker 1:And then he goes on in chapter 5, chapter 6. He starts talking about how you keep going down that road, you can get to the place where you reject Christ and put him to an open shame. And there are those that have done that. They just went so far away from God. You know, once saved, always saved is a lie. It only applies to me, god. You know, we're not once saved, always saved is a lie. It only applies to me. I can say it because I was once saved and I'll always be saved. I'm never going back, like Kamala. Kamala said, we're not going back. Well, I don't know where you came from, but anyway I think you're going back. I'm not going back to the devil, but you can. We're free moral agents. We can choose, and some people choose to live, you know, apart from God's word, and their heart gets hardened. And he talks about all that. And then you know. So he tells them you know, be careful, listen, don't stay where you are.
Speaker 1:He's talking to a certain group of people in the book of Hebrews. They, they're trusting in religion, they're trusting in just the fact that you know, way back over here, and then they're just giving themselves permission to live ungodly lifestyles. Which, listen? This is not the time to do that. This is not the time to be watching mad Like Jesus gets you, he gets you and he wants you to repent. We forgot the word repent, and so, anyway, in verse 9, but, beloved, we're persuaded better things of you I'm not fussing at you and things that accompany salvation, even though we're speaking the way we're speaking. So find out what he said there.
Speaker 1:And then verse 10, for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love. He says that to America. He's not unrighteous to forget the good things we've done. You know, yeah, there's a lot wrong, but there's a whole lot right. He's not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you've showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints and you do minister, and we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of faith unto the end. In other words, keep on doing what you do and don't stop that you be not slothful, but followers of them who, through faith and patience everybody shout faith and patience inherit the promise. Everybody say faith and patience inherit, for when God made talking about Abraham, after he had patiently endured, he received the promise.
Speaker 1:And so for men verily, swear by by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. What does that mean? It means when you make the oath of your, when you lift up your hand and cut the covenant, my, my dad would say that's a lead pipe cinch, that's, that's, that's settled. There's no more arguing, there's more negotiating. This is the terms of the covenant. I'm going to give my life. Trump said it this way promises made, promises kept. I know that man believes in covenant. He might be a baby Christian. He might not measure up to a lot of people's idea of what a Christian can be, but he measures up to a president. Amazing that God selected a man like that to do what he's done. There's not, I can't believe. There's very many like that around. I've never seen one. So for men, verily, swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. We're, in God, willing more abundantly to show, under the airs of promise. Everybody shout that's me.
Speaker 1:The immutability or the unchangeableness of his counsel. Confirmed it by an oath. That by two immutable or unchangeable things. What are those two things? His promise and his oath. What he said he was going to do and that he swore that he'd do it, that by two unchanging. See, god cannot change. He does not change. Anybody changes. It's us We've got to change, we've got to move toward him. God has a side. We got on his side, finally, by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie. We might have a strong consolation. Who have fled for refuge? To lay hold upon the hope set before us? And ain't the hope in change?
Speaker 1:Obama talked about Lying before Biden, the worst president we've ever had. Biden was the worst. Kamala would have been even worse than that. Now we have hope that's set before us. Which hope we have as an anchor of our soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.
Speaker 1:Who entered within the veil? Jesus, our high priest. He's our part of the covenant. He's our surety that what God promised and swore an oath to do would come to pass. We have an advocate that went through the veil. He went through and sit and seated at the right end of God. And guess what? We're seated together with him in that place. Oh praise God Whether the forerunners for us entered. Even Jesus made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Speaker 1:So faith and patience inherit that's the name of the title of the message. It's all about inheriting or laying hold on our inheritance. My job is to see to it that you come into your inheritance. What is your inheritance? Well, in the Bible the inheritance was Israel, it was the land, and God swore to Abraham to give him all that land. And you know, but it wasn't overnight. I mean, he told me it's going to. You know, your people are going to go into Egypt and they're going to be evil and treated there 400 years and then they'll come out with great substance and then they'll come into this land. So God has made some promises and they're not necessarily instant. An inheritance has to be possessed by dispossession.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, in the land, in the land of Israel, it was inhabited by the Ites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, the Budlites, the Selulites, all the ites, and God couldn't take them out of the land because they had not filled the cup of judgment, they hadn't sinned long enough for God to say I'm taking this land away from you and I'm going to give it to my people. God does everything legally and honestly. We don't know much about judgment in the modern church. We've lived so far away from it and we don't understand judgment. Judgment is God's righteousness.
Speaker 1:You know, if God doesn't judge the wicked, then why do we trust him to do the right thing by us. It says he's going to do it. If he doesn't do it, how do we know he's going to bless us If he lets people get away with murder and they never held to account? They cheat on elections For generations, they lie, they get a hold of all the letter agencies in the government and they oppress the citizens of this nation and rob them and steal from them and nothing. They've never been held to account. Well, you know, I'm here to tell you God did this. Well, I'm here to tell you God did this. He did it because a portion of the church, like this one, woke up and started praying the right things. They didn't pray. 2 Chronicles 7, 14,.
Speaker 1:By the way, I'm invited to come to prayer meetings all the time. Let's pray 2. I pass those up because that's not any good. You might as well pray twinkle, twinkle, little star. That's not an effective prayer to pray.
Speaker 1:We're in the New Testament. We are. We have an advocate with a father, jesus Christ righteous, on the other side of the veil. We're in him. We have authority. It's no sense in asking God to come down here and heal our land when we're here. We have the authority to stop it and we have the authority to release judgment and punishments on those people. We have the authority to release judgment and punishments on those people. That's what we did Tuesday night in our prayer meeting. Yeah, tuesday night, after the election for the election was really fully known what was going to happen you were here, there's about 50 people came for prayer Tuesday night and I mean we prayed judgment on these people, punishments God believes in punishing the wicked and the church has gotten away from that. You know, we just want to pray for well, pray for the enemy. Well, let's get on the other side.
Speaker 1:He, he says that part of the way. I mean it's personal, but when something is wrong in the government, guess what that's? That's evil and it has to be put down, it has to be punished because people are suffering needlessly. Put down, has to be punished because people are suffering needlessly. So there's a time of where cups have to be filled. So you know, originally the judgment in Canaan land started right away. I mean it started drying up over there. And then Abraham Isaac and Jacob, you know, jacob came up. You know, and all the story of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, that's just a little bit of Israel. That's the beginning of Israel. Just a few people, and then, you know, they sold their brother Joseph, into slavery.
Speaker 1:He goes over to Egypt and then now they've got 70. And things got really bad in Canaan. Why? Because God's judgment came upon that nation for its wickedness and mainly for its idolatry. Well, they've got idolatry in Egypt, but yet they have idolatry over here in Canaan land. So, you know, isaac sends his boys over to because he hears, hey, they've had seven years of plenty in Egypt.
Speaker 1:By this time, you know, joseph has come from the prison to the palace. He's second only to Pharaoh. God raised him up as a leader. You know, he had gifts, he had dreams, he had interpretation, he had, he had supernatural gifting and favor, and he and he was running the country, you know. And so here comes his family. You know the story. And so they immigrate to egypt, 70 in all. Why? Why did they have to leave? They left because god's judgment fell on Canaan land.
Speaker 1:Get a picture of them filling a cup. It's getting full and full and now it's affecting the crops. God's not going to bless wickedness. There are nations on this earth that's never going to be blessed, never because they worship devils. We're going to evangelize and hopefully get a harvest out of those nations, but a lot of times, that's all you can do is get a harvest out of there, because the nation itself is going to perish. It's going to be a goat nation, mainly because they hate Israel, and every week they have a meeting in New York where almost all the nations of the world get together and curse two people America and Israel. Why don't we host that meeting? I want to know why. Why don't we kick them out? Why don't we turn the United Nations building into condos and put the money in the treasury to pay down the debt? But anyway, I'm getting off on my soapbox, but I'm talking about it. I'm talking about judgment.
Speaker 1:Now I want you to get a picture of the. You know, claire says don't call them third world, I call them third world nations. That's what I call them because they're not developing anymore. They had a chance to develop and most of them have gone backward. Look at Haiti. Oh my God, god bless, you know, the ones that are there trying to Max Manning. God bless, max Manning. I mean, he doesn't quit. So they've got a seed, but it doesn't look like they're developing. All right.
Speaker 1:So then, so they come over and God had already told them. He said you're going to be here 400 years and then they're going to be evil and treated of Egypt, they're going to leave and go back to the land. So what had to happen? Well, first of all, canaan land had to fill a cup to where God would take their land away from them and give it to Israel. And Egypt had to fill a cup so that God could judge them for the persecuting their, his people, because they enslaved them. And when they left, they left rich, they left full, they spoiled the Egyptians. Everybody say transfer of wealth Out of the hands of the wicked Into the hands of the righteous. See, it's just, it's a law, it's a law of judgment. God's not going to leave the money that they stole in their hands. They stole 400 years of labor.
Speaker 1:Are you with me now? I want you to see God's perspective on this whole election and what all we've been through. And so God will not be mocked. What a whatsoever man soweth that shall he also reap. If you sow to the flesh, you'll reap corruption. If you sow to the spirit, you'll reap life everlasting. That's just a law, it's a law.
Speaker 1:So you know this nation, little by little by little, has had termites, or you could say it had cancer. I think that's probably even more apropos. I mean, it's just like metastatic cancer, it's just spread. And it's what? Is it? The spirit of Antichrist? Yeah, you could call it communism, but it's bigger than that. It's a spirit of Antichrist.
Speaker 1:Antichrist is a global governance, one world, global, and the Democrats along the way bought into it, and a lot of the Republicans. There's globalists everywhere Bush family they're globalists. One of Bush's daughters is out there campaigning for Kamala W, george W's daughter, one of them. One of them's on TV, you know, on NBC, and then the other one is out campaigning for Kamala. So that's how far his faith goes. Doesn't go very far. Are y'all with me now? This is what we've had. You look back. You had eight years of Bush global, unnecessary war.
Speaker 1:Iraq was totally and hey, trump was against it. And I didn't back in those days I didn't quite understand all that. I didn't understand that that was just a waste of time. We found out it was a waste of time. In fact, we did more harm than good in Iraq because we took out the counterbalance to Iran. And guess who occupies Iraq today? Iran does. We didn't do one bit of good and all the churches that were there got closed down. There was some churches there. Now they're gone. So we did a lot of harm going into Iraq and we did no good and our boys come back with one arm, one leg, blind, brain damaged, and a lot of them didn't come back. Anybody remember Fallujah? Door to door Urban warfare and how many guys died. Look at American Sniper. Watch that movie. That's what happened.
Speaker 1:This is what Kamala and Biden demanded. They demanded that Israel do the same thing in Gaza City. They begged. They wanted more ordinance, they wanted more bombs. They wanted to level Gaza City without going in there with boots on the ground, because they knew they were going to lose a bunch of and they did. They lost a bunch of young men going door to door like that and you can't protect the civilians anyway. They're all mingled in there. These people need to be punished. I'm not going to rest till they are, but that's just one slide, that's one little piece of it.
Speaker 1:So we get to where we were in 2020. I want to remind you. You know God had a word of 2020 greatest year yet. Anybody remember greatest year? Yet?
Speaker 1:It was all about inheritance, and America is a big part of our inheritance. It's not side of heaven. Heaven is in our future, but that's not really our inheritance because the land had what the land had giants and walled cities. Heaven doesn't have that. So the land of Israel when Abraham cut the covenant with God and we're all the seed of Abraham through faith in Christ, so that applies to us. God has a covenant with us. We've got a better covenant, found upon better promises, right. So it's more than just land, but it's everything that Jesus bought and paid for. It's peace, it's a good marriage, it's a blessed career. It's blessed to be a blessing. That's what it is. How can you be a blessing without being first blessed? You'll run out. That's what. If you're not blessed, you can run out. That's what if you're not blessed. You know, if you're not blessed, you can't be a blessing.
Speaker 1:I know that I couldn't be a financial blessing for a long time. Why? Because I got out of the will of God and my financial world crumbled, and I remember my tithe was zero because my income was zero for quite a while. It's no fun living like that. I was what Cursed. How could a man like you be cursed? Well, I got out of the will of God. I didn't obey the witness of the spirits. That's how important it is to hear from God. We've been talking about the living bread, so you got to have the living bread. I'm giving you some living bread today about what we've been through. But 2020 was all about it's going to be the greatest year. Yet when you look back on 2020, you're going to say my, this has been the greatest year of my life. Well, it was the worst year of most people's lives because COVID hit.
Speaker 1:Does anybody still remember Lena baby, shutting down the rodeo in March? I mean, this is, this is I don't know how many billion dollars worth in the economy of Houston, texas, that the rodeo is, but it's significant. And she shut it down because one person had COVID that came from Mardi Gras and came to the to the barbecue cook-off, was sick with COVID and she shut the whole thing down and I thought at the time I was so mad. You know, tv showed pictures of teenagers that had raised animals to be auctioned off for their college degree and be able to pay for college and all the millions of dollars that are sent and spent on scholarships for young people, and then just the fact that people out at the rodeo, people go out there and spend a lot of money. And then you have the vendors that come to town that pay a lot of money to sell their clothes, their belts, their hats, their belt buckles, their jewelry. All of that and she shut it down over one sick person.
Speaker 1:They're drunk on power. They don't care about democracy, they don't care about the Constitution, they care about turning you and I into subjects of their empire, global empire they don't care about. Somebody said I heard this news. I can't understand why anybody would argue with make America great again. Oh, I can. They don't love America, they don't love Americans. They don't love Americans. They don't love America as founded. They want a global governance. They want to be at the top of a global empire. That's what they want. That's why they don't want. In fact, maga is going to stop it from happening. Well, we're going to stop it from happening because America is going to get great again. I don't know how long it'll last and frankly, I don't care, as long as we get a harvest out of it. Are you with me now? All right, but I just think about we started praying pretty heavy.
Speaker 1:We'd been praying before that election. We'd prayed in 2015 when he came down the escalator and all of hell broke loose and I really thought at that time. You know that I was going to vote for one of the other candidates I won't name a name but there was another candidate that I was attracted to. I liked him, though Gladys said I'm going to vote for Trump. I said, well, I hadn't made up my mind, I hadn't heard from God yet. I mean, well, I have, but I'm voting for Trump. Okay, whatever, she didn't.
Speaker 1:That ad they ran here recently that women don't tell your husbands that you, these people, are so out of touch with reality. And so you know, on the night of the Iowa caucuses, when they announced that Ted Cruz won, I'll just have to say Ted was my choice because he's a good Christian and I just felt like he's a brilliant lawyer and a brilliant man and I just thought he'd make a good president. But when he took the microphone, the Holy Ghost said he's not my choice, and so I started instructing our prayer people to start praying for Trump. I had a few squawks. I had a few people that didn't like it. I said, well, get out of the prayer group. I'm the pastor. This is how it's going to be. We're praying for Trump. You can't agree with that. I respect that, but I don't. You're not going to get a chance to pray, you're going to have to leave, so you know, uh, but we started praying way back then. I just think about all, just think about everything that went through the election. And then he won, and then, while he, before he's inaugurated, there's a meeting in the white house and the oval office with Obama and Biden and Comey, and they hatched the plan to delegitimize him.
Speaker 1:And you had Clinton involved too, because she paid for all of that mess. And they used the FISA courts illegally. They lied, fbi agents lied, they started going through, and then we had to pray all. Do you remember all that? I mean, we've been praying and praying and having to believe God for years and years. Faith and patience inherits the promise. Faith and patience possesses the land.
Speaker 1:Now, what did Israel have in the land? Well, they had squatters. They had the ites, and the ites had squatted there and built walled cities. So we have squatters. They started by trespassing. See, that's how it happens. You've got a piece of property. I've used the Thomas J O'Connor ranch as an example for years, but I'm acquainted in South Texas. They're rich people and they're Irish descent and they've got a Spanish land grant and it's millions of acres that they own and they have to watch it because they have people that trespass.
Speaker 1:If you allow a trespasser, then what happens? Well, the trespasser might poach. The trespasser might kill one of your fine bulls or some of your cattle. They might kill your deer. They might take your wildlife and in their accounts they've got a lot of African wildlife they've imported and they have hunters on parts of their property and they make money that way, and so then they're stealing valuable merchandise off of the property and then if you're not careful, you've got a trespasser, turns into a poacher, turns into a squatter, and once somebody squats on a piece of property, you know the law of possession enters into it and it's sometimes kind of hard. They've got this all over the country now. They've got illegal aliens squatting in people's vacant houses. They can't get rid of them. I said they can't get rid of them. They've got all kinds of rules for someone that owns and pays taxes and has an ownership position and someone else is living rent-free in their house. How evil is that? So you possess your land? By what Dispossessing they had to dispossess the ites. God had to first give it to them. That's the legal side, god. And once they put their foot on the land and started doing something, god helped them. So fast forward. Back to us Now.
Speaker 1:We got into the election of 2016. He won the election and quickly all of this stuff started flying apart and it hurt his effectiveness. He was able to pass a very large tax break and that helped, but everything all the rest of his agenda, got put on hold. He did close the borders and started building a wall, but remember how much trouble he had. Remember all the explosion. And you racist, you're Nazi, you're this, you're that. And you're racist, you're Nazi, you're this, you're that.
Speaker 1:All started back in 2016, 17, 18. We're praying. This church is praying. We're praying all the way through. We prayed through the 2020 election. Then he didn't get it. It looked like the election was stolen. We weren't sure he might be able to. You know, if he'd had a vice president and had any guts, he could have probably turned it around. But Pence was a weak weenie. We don't need any more weak weenies. Religious, not a fighter. And he didn't have the courage to stand with Trump when January 6th happened, he ran for the hills like a lot of people did. We didn't. We kept on praying, we kept on praying, I kept in.
Speaker 1:You know, remember how sad it was, how terrible it was when they took over and they started doing all their stuff and we had COVID, and then inflation started coming in and then they opened the borders. The next thing, all of a sudden, we're getting overrun with all these illegal aliens, and not just from Hispanic countries, no, from the entire world. We're getting them from Syria, we're getting them from terrorist countries, we're third world countries, uncivilized countries, people that don't know how to use the bathroom indoors, people that don't know anything about a toilet, and they're living in a hotel in New York. This is crazy. And they're taking jobs and they're having wrecks with no insurance on the roads and they're committing crimes. And they're taking jobs and they're having wrecks with no insurance on the roads and they're committing crimes and they're eating pets All of the things that came out. And then, oh, that's racist. No, it's not, it's a fact. And I don't hate them. I want them to go back where they came from, because they're here illegally.
Speaker 1:Kamala said oh, they're not criminals. Well, yes, they are by definition. They broke the law, and just because you allowed them to doesn't make it any better. You're also lawless and you belong in jail. Everybody that opened the border. That's against the law.
Speaker 1:I want to see these people punished for what they did to this country. Oh, you just want revenge. No, not revenge. Revenge is not. It doesn't have anything to do with it. You just want revenge. No, not revenge. Revenge is not. It doesn't have anything to do with it. It has to do with justice. That's the fear of the Lord is to hate evil, pride and arrogancy and every evil work. Well, I hate it and I want it punished because God wants it punished. So what we're going to do we're part of our prayer coming up is going to be to release these kinds of things as we go down the line. Amen, are y'all with me now? I want you to know where we stand. I just think about. I'm so proud of you because you stood the course.
Speaker 1:A lot of people couldn't do it. They just ran out of patience. They didn't have much faith to begin with and they just bowed. I had people in this congregation that bowed to woke. They couldn't stand up to their kids coming home from college. They couldn't rule their own house, they couldn't stand for truth. They just went ahead and just well, I can't take that position. My daughter just won't cooperate. They're gone and they need to be gone. They don't belong here. They got to get an agreement with what we're doing. This is too important. What we saw was a not only a landslide, it was a rock slide. I mean it was, and nobody predicted it, and God did it. We have to understand. The author of this whole thing was God and he answered our prayers exceeding abundantly. Above all, we ever dared. Did you really believe it was? See, everybody was saying it's just razor thin, razor thin.
Speaker 1:You know, you give a couple of times and your phone blows up with requests for more. 150, 200 times a day. My phone is going off asking for more money. I want that changed. You better stop that Republican Party. I hate that. I'm with Michael Berry on that. That's ridiculous. Stop it. Stop asking me for money. You're not getting another dime. See, they hire these people and these people get a rake off of all the money. So they just keep going on and on and on. One text will say I'm so proud of you, John. You're doing this, john, we haven't heard from you. Have you given up? You know it's one thing or another. You know junk, junk, junk. I did give but I ain't giving no more, right? It's going to be a long time before I give again.
Speaker 1:Kamala spent a billion dollars yeah, a billion and she's 200 million in debt, or no, yeah, excuse me, 20 million, 20 million in debt. 20 million in debt Because she paid Beyonce and Lady Gaga and Eminem Is he even still on the scene? Anyway, all these nothing burgers to come, and it didn't attract much of a crowd anyway. And then they booed Beyonce when she didn't sing. Laura Ingraham wrote a book in the 80s that said shut up and sing, that's what I want. Come out with another issue of that Shut up and tumble, shut up and sing, shut up in whatever you do. All right, praise God. We're talking about judgment, talking about filling cups, and let me just present this to you before I close cups. And let me just present this to you for a close.
Speaker 1:It was disappointing that Trump didn't get back in the White House. We all know they cheated A lot of people like. Remember Paul Manafort? He was very close to Trump. They put the man in prison and put him in solitary confinement, broke him. They're trying to do the same thing to Giuliani. They've done this. General Flynn Does anybody remember General Flynn? All in trying to flip these people to testify against Trump. And then you've got another one I can't think of his name now. He just got out of prison right before the election Bannon, yeah, and a good man. And so they've done wrong and they need to be punished for it. They've abused the Department of Justice, the FBI, every one of these letter agencies. They've abused them.
Speaker 1:So, you know, we say God, it's hard to understand how we could fail after we prayed the way we prayed and it didn't happen. He didn't get back in office. None of that worked out. Everybody fled the scene and he alone stood there and remember you had all these people line up to run for president. He ran for president yet again, and you had Nikki Haley and you had a whole list of people that ran for president. Some of them, you know, finally caught on and they made their peace with Trump, and some of them didn't make their peace with Trump, and so they're gone. But it was hard to understand. But what did we do? Faith and patience inherits a promise. We keep praying, we keep on standing On God's side. I can see why it happened the way it did and I want to give you this verse that God gave me, Exodus 23. I'm winding up here. I'm so excited about what's in front of us Exodus 23, verse 25.
Speaker 1:This is talking to the children of Israel about possessing their land and have to get it by dispossessing the inhabitants of the land. As far as God is concerned, they're squatters, they're illegal. God has removed their legal right to the land. Only God can do that. Only God can give permission for another nation to evade another nation. In the Bible, every time a nation invaded another nation illegally, that nation that did the invading was punished. There's going to be a lot of punished nations because they invaded our nation. They, in fact Venezuela, all these people that turned out their prisons and turned out their, their, the bottom, bottom, dwelling part of their non-productive part of their population, dumped them at our doorstep. They're going to be judged. Step, they're going to be judged. Get ready, get ready.
Speaker 1:Verse 25, exodus 23, 25. And you shall serve the Lord, your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water, and I will take sickness from the midst of thee. There shall nothing, cast their young, nor be barren in thy land. The number of thy days will I fulfill. I will send my fear before thee and I will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. And I will send hornets before thee which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, the Hittite from before thee. I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field multiply against you, but by little and little, I will drive them out from before you until you be increased and inherit the land by little and little Now.
Speaker 1:We weren't ready to possess the land in 2020 because we had more evil in place in this nation that anybody knew and we have a segment of our population that had not been exposed to the depths of the depravity of the people that are in power. But once they started opening the borders and they started paying these people money to be here, transporting them all across the country, paying for their lodging, paying for their food, giving them all this goodies and people that have lived here for generations, that are on the bottom of the uh scale of of income and all struggling and then inflation going through the roof. Their kids can't get educated because the schools are shut down and their children are at home with you know, fearful, and by themselves, in many cases trying to get learning off of a computer. I mean, we've got massive problems with our young people because they're psychological problems from all this lie of the masks and all the lie of COVID was real, but the way they responded to it was all a lie. Every bit of it was a lie. Six foot distance. All the whole thing is just a bunch of baloney. It's all lies. We stood against that, remember.
Speaker 1:And the vaccine a lie. It's not a vaccine, it's experimental gene therapy. We brought the doctors in to tell you it's not a vaccine. A vaccine means you're immune from that disease. I have a polio vaccine. I don't think about polio because I've been vaccinated against it. Oh, if you get the COVID, it won't stop it from coming, it'll just we think it'll lower the intensity.
Speaker 1:Well, no, it didn't. And it gives you other things. Some people, it killed them. I'm convinced people died because of it. And if you decided to make that health decision on your own, then your company may have fired you or laid you off. We lost a lot of medical people. We lost nurses, doctors. We lost so many professional people over that stupid non-vaccine.
Speaker 1:They lied. Who profited? Well, Fauci, I'd like to see him in prison. He's a billionaire because of it. How did he get so? And by talking about how rich, how is it that the Obamas got so rich? How can they have five mansions and a yacht? I mean, they were paid what? 400 grand a year for eight years. How do you get that much money? Oh well, they got a book deal. A book deal is nothing compared to what they've got. They're billionaires. Why is the news media not more curious about how they got their wealth? Because there are Democrats, I guess. I want that investigated. I want to see why, where that money came from, will you? No, I'm not jealous that it was ill-gotten gains. That's what it is. Do you know that? I think it's enough to where you ought to find out. I don't know, but I suspect so.
Speaker 1:We weren't ready to have this nation back under Trump, because I don't think he could have gotten the job done because the people hadn't been awakened yet. Now they've been awakened. The American people looked around and they saw this craziness of the gender. You know you you're. We're going to make your kid a female without you knowing it and we're going to make him a male without you. We're going to take your kids and indoctrinate them. We're going to teach them things you don't want them taught.
Speaker 1:I thank god for this, this part of the country, because we've gotten a hold of that. We've gotten good people involved where it's not happening here, but it's happening across the country, a lot of places. It's happening in Texas in some places. We've got to get rid of it. We've got to stop it. Are you with me? Now, by the way, there's 350,000 children missing and they're talking about abortion. We've got to have abortion. We've got to have abortion. You don't even care about 350,000 children that were crossing the border. We don't know. Are they being trafficked? Are they being abused? What's happened to them? Where are they? Boy, what a bunch of incompetent. Well, really, it's not even so much incompetence that they just don't care. Yeah, they're incompetent, all right, but they don't care.
Speaker 1:So my point is is that God lifted his hand a little longer for this country to suffer through the last four years? Why? Because he knew the church could be fine. See, we're fine. We're not victims. Besides that, we have faith and patience. We're going to be blessed, no matter what happens to America. We're going to be blessed. We're not victims. We're never victims. The greater one lives enough, but yet I do feel for people that are working people and people that have been taken advantage of and lied to for generations. We're going to come take care of you and when the time comes to take care of them, they're taking care of everybody else. Are you with me now? So I just want to salute you because you just stood with us and you prayed with us. You listened to us. Many of you worked in the election. You were with us. You listened to us. Many of you worked in the election. You were election judges, you were poll watchers, you counted the ballots, you stood late, you got involved.
Speaker 1:Just think about all the meetings we've had in this church in the last five years. I mean we've turned this thing into a Republican meeting place. It's the influence of this church has spread through not only Harris County but the state of Texas and really it's getting to be national now. And God said that was going to happen. We didn't know how it was going to happen. Well, it happened because faith and patience. And, harris, I promise we know God, we know how to pray, we know how to pray, we know how to pray according to his word, we know how to stand in patience until our faith produces fruit.
Speaker 1:Now, the thing that I want to leave you with, let me read to you out of Isaiah. I came across this book of Isaiah and you know Israel was in a similar situation. A lot of trouble, a lot of gnashing of teeth, a lot of it was brought on self. You know they disobeyed God. America's done the same. We've gotten out from under God. We've quit worshiping God. The fear of God is at an all time low ebb and it's beginning to change now.
Speaker 1:In Isaiah 33, verse 8, the high ways lie waste. The wayfaring man seetheth, he hath broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He regardeth no man. The earth mourneth and languisheth. Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down. Sharon is like a wilderness. Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
Speaker 1:See, that's the picture of curse. That's the picture of this country. I mean things that we were great in at one time. We just dried up. We were the greatest manufacturing entity on the planet and we exported all of it to these godless third-world countries because of cheap labor. Our corporations used to be American corporations. Now they're global entities, with global. They care about the global economy. They don't care about America at all. That's why they go woke. They go with whatever the flow is. They need to be held accountable.
Speaker 1:Now listen to this verse 10. Now will I arise, saith the Lord. Now will to be held accountable. Now listen to this verse 10. Now will I arise, saith the Lord. Now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself. And I like the message. Now I'm stepping in.
Speaker 1:God says From now on, I'm taking over the gloves. Come off. Now. See how mighty I am. Oh, come on, praise God, the gloves come off. No more, nice guy.
Speaker 1:I tell you, god is a mighty terrible one, you know. He told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 20, verse 10, he said for the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one, a dread champion, a ruthless tyrant. And the church is going to have to adopt that side of God to pray the judgment and the punishment through for these people that have hurt our nation the way they have. And then we're just right on the cusp of the greatest revival. See, the church is reviving now. The church is awakening. Now Pastors are finally coming.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness, I didn't realize what we were contributing to. We better change our ways. We better change our emphasis. We better start talking about these things in church. We better start guiding our flock like a pastor should guide their flock. See, they're beginning to wake up and and that's revival, revival. And I believe the end result is we smash the antichrist in the face and pull, push him back so that we can receive a mighty harvest. Come on, lift your hand, receive glory to god. There's no backing up, there's no bowing down. We're not going back where we were, we're going forward. Come on, let's lift voices, give the Lord a big shout of praise.
