Ask of Me 07/23/2017: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:00 We’ve been talking about God talking to Jesus we’re going to go to Psalms 2 today and if you’ll read with me please or you can open your Bible and read along why do the nation’s rage and the people plot a vain thing now. you know these psalmists these songwriters they’re connected to the spirit that’s why I tell people read a Psalm every day they are every one [unclear] by the holy God alright this psalmist looked down the road and seen these brutes these communist leaders that literally killed millions of people and we and we shake hands with him today like they did nothing wrong in the past and Anyway and then [unclear] said that there is no God okay.

▶ 0:55 So there is no God but Hitler was a little smarter he claimed to be a Christian so he could get elected and he created his own christianity called positive christianity Jesus was a white man correcting the Jews I. Could. Amazing. Anyway. So when he talked about God and he talked about Christ he talked about it from his aspect and the Germans fell for this an intelligent race of people folks the Germans in history are very intelligent race of people and they fell for this nonsense and of course Hitler wanted to rule the world and he killed thousands [unclear] millions of innocent people and the Holy Spirit caught it.

▶ 1:48 twenty five hundred or more years ago isn’t that something and they say this book is a book of myths the king and rulers of the earth set themselves and take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed now there’s two anointed Jesus is anointed and the church the believer is anointed and when they oppose you they’re opposing Christ and I can give you a scripture for that it’s not just opposing Christ and they say let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us that’s exactly what these government leaders want to do even in America today they are wanting to suppress the church they’re wanting us to keep quiet and stay in our four walls and not be involved in politics not be involved in the community don’t pray out on the corner don’t protest don’t do anything and we’ll leave you alone they’re not going to leave us alone they’re going to appease us until they can get rid of us and you.

▶ 2:51 Got to understand that you can’t be naive [unclear] anybody can read the news and know what’s going on if they would read and they read their Bible they’d connect it so all this was prophesied twenty-five hundred years ago that has happened in our generation our era he who sits in the heavens were what laughs. There’s no opposition opposition against the Lord you can’t oppose him and the Lord will hold them in derision he’s going to mock them he’s going to laugh at them he’s going to ridicule them then he will speak to them in his what wrath what do we cover last week the day of wrath when he deals with the nations and the people you see and distress them in his deep displeasure he God’s going to do something to glorify his name and his church and the earth he hasn’t done yet all right and yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion who is that the church all right Israel is the natural Zion the church in the Bible is the spiritual Zion I will declare the decree here it is the Lord has said to me God has said to Jesus green is God the underlined

▶ 4:22 is Jesus my king Jesus. Are you there I got my own government. In that beautiful now what’s the decree that he’s going to give to Jesus a decree is a law it’s a rule it’s a subordinate law. same Psalm verse 7 and it’s also repeated in Hebrews 1:5 okay I was telling someone this week that the New Testament is nothing but verses from the old testaments about 80% verses from the Old Testament you just don’t know it because you don’t read your Bible but the New Testament is nothing but an amplified Old Testament alright now. Here is the decree you are my son is that what happened did God.

▶ 5:21 Bring Jesus in the flesh his only begotten son yeah alright. See Jesus is God in the flesh can you say that Jesus is God in the flesh the Holy Spirit is God in the spirit the Holy Spirit is God and the spirit and he does all that so we can understand how he works and he’s father God who is above what all of them know he’s greater you are my son today I have begotten you and we know that Jesus is the only begotten of the father and God is talking to him back there in the Psalm that makes sense isn’t it good isn’t it nice to know what God said to Jesus yeah. Alright ask of me Jesus had to ask why are you so afraid to pray.

▶ 6:21 Jesus had to ask God told Jesus you ask me you ask me and I’ll give you the nation’s the green is who talking God the underlined is who Jesus. I will give you the nation’s for your inheritance if you ask me. Don’t you think we need to ask for bigger things than a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in our garage and yeah we need to ask for big spiritual things could that be true and I’ll give you the ends of the earth for your possession now folks they didn’t know that there were other nations I keep telling you this at this time they didn’t know into the late 1700s. So this is really prophetic.

▶ 7:18 You shall break them with a rod of iron and Revelations he says he rules them with a rod of iron and in Revelations it also says that they that follow him will rule the nations with a rod of iron now put that together would you. Do we look like rulers now we look like a bunch of wimps. But let me tell you there is a move of God coming when he is going to glorify his church I’m telling it’s fact and you Jesus shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel. Alleluia hmm does that signify something powerful is going to be happening absolutely he’s going to shake these Stalins and these Hitlers these governments [unclear] communism is a real.

▶ 8:13 Enemy. Jesus prayed to the father for the world just like God had asked him to and it’s recorded in scripture John 17:1 Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said father. He’s talking to who the father he’s praying to who the father should we be praying to the father in Jesus name yeah don’t forget the father. Now we’re going he starts praying and asking God for things we’re going to skip down to our theme verse 15 I don’t pray that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one now since the 1800s what has the church been harping on second coming we’re going to be raptured they’re going to be taken out we’re going to get out of this mess and Jesus prayed what father don’t take them out of the world.

▶ 9:24 They directly oppose the very request of Jesus Christ by saying come Lord [unclear] tomorrow [unclear] we want to get out of it. God wants you to be a light in this mess. And the American churches bought this thing hook line and sinker. Just let that soak in I don’t ask father that you take them out of the world I don’t [unclear] I just want you to protect them from the evil one last week in our lesson can he protect us from the evil one can he protect us from the day of wrath yeah it’s plain [unclear] in the scripture.

▶ 10:17 So what’s all this big hype about the rapture because that’s what they promote and after you hear it enough what you believe it because you don’t really search the scriptures to find out if it’s true or not and when you do search the scripture you search it their way and that’s the answer you come up with. Are you there you need to search the scripture on your knees in prayer and asking God to let the Holy Ghost open those scriptures to you did Jesus open the understanding of the apostles do do we need the same opening yeah this is not an intellectual thing this is a spiritual thing can only be revealed by the [unclear] now I like that my God is big enough to protect the church don’t that sound better than [unclear] can’t handle it anymore and I

▶ 11:14 [unclear] check this out now this is a powerful prayer I pray all who believe in me through their word through other believers were the apostles may be one as you are in me and I in you does Jesus and God have two different doctrines do they have the same doctrine yes do they have the same goals do they have the same beliefs yes. And. God said I want you to make them one as you and I are one all right. That they may be one in us shouldn’t we be in agreement to God’s doctrine Jesus’s doctrine his ways his truth shouldn’t we be in agreement with them yeah our opinions does not matter and here it is here’s the prayer that the world may believe and know that you have sent me and love them as you love me he asked for the world by making the church come together in unity as God and Jesus are in unity oh.

▶ 12:36 Now you get theologians to explain to us what I said about this rapture stuff and all that they are tongue-tied they have to [unclear] start making things up. But isn’t that powerful God asked Jesus to ask him for the nation’s Jesus asking for the nations with two requests don’t take them out of the world and make them one and through them being one the world will not only believe in me they will know me. folks that’s [unclear] if I was a young Christian I’d be dancing a jitterbug right now and American Christians have lost their [unclear] they’ve lost their fight [unclear].

▶ 13:28 [unclear]. now then [unclear] is the church one has it been one since the early church was the early church one yes the apostles were one they did the miracles things happen they turn the world upside down they all died and then Polycarp and them carried on and Justin and then slowly the church fell away like God predicted it would and he said he would restore. So he’s going to restore us back to what the early church unity and power with the witness of the gospel. That’s going to be cool that’s why I’m a little jealous of my grandchildren I’m not sure I’m going to see any of this if I do it probably very little okay now if the church isn’t one can God come any minute.

▶ 14:40 no and folks we’re not [unclear] 67 percent of Christians in America believe in evolution not Genesis [unclear] gets higher every year fifty some percent [unclear] 70 percent of women that get abortions are Christian women with Christian in a Christian relationship and even though scientists now tell us that at conception that is a human being Christians still won’t use discipline they won’t use contraceptives they won’t use restraint they still just get drunk and they get pregnant and then they go and abort murdering an innocent baby.

▶ 15:38 The American church has deteriorated tremendously. 54% of Christians [unclear] in 2014 approved of a same-sex lifestyle and same-sex marriage. Totally against the Bible but they don’t have a problem with adultery either I mean Christians [unclear] they’re shacking up with each other and then go to some mega church and hallelujah and we don’t have any fear of adultery fornication incest is rampant in America between siblings and between parents and their kids and you don’t read about it I happen to know about it because I’m involved in it as a pastor you get called into these things and I do a lot of research and it’s bad and then.

▶ 16:32 These people call themselves Christians. Are we one with God when we do that no and we’re certainly not one with each other and if we are one with each other we’re on the wrong side of the one we should be on the right side in unity not the wrong side in unity amen. Fifty percent approve of alcohol marijuana. Prescription drugs and so forth they want to legalize it and don’t you believe the lie hundreds of people die every year from marijuana related deaths they don’t tell you that all they tell you is there’s never been an overdose of marijuana it don’t have to be an overdose it can be the reason you died amen and alcohol is killing almost a hundred thousand a year plus all the accidents and all the medical bills.

▶ 17:31 Billions of dollars in medical and our tax money’s being used to take care of these people that won’t decide to live right. I ask you is that fair is that fair that the good people have to pay the medical bills of the people that won’t restrain themselves that’s not fair. Baptisms a large portion of the church don’t even believe in water baptism for salvation shocking. John’s message Jesus message was one repent be baptized every one of you for the remission of sin and did Jesus get baptized yeah the apostles get baptized yeah what is your problem. do you know what David’s problem a man who had a heart after God he would not discipline his children.

▶ 18:35 He did not correct Absalom when he murdered his own brother he did not correct that son when he raped his sister. Do you know how many Christians today cannot confront their children face to face you are wrong. now I had a son that tried to get rid of me [unclear] and take over the church I know how this stuff works and you have to do right in that time you cannot favor your kids when they are wrong they are what wrong. It’s a choice they make they have to live with it daddy isn’t going that direction.

▶ 19:29 Are you there so don’t tell me your problems are bigger than mine after I got a list of my problems I’ve been through and God brought me through them it would put yours to shame. Maybe. are you there [unclear] yes when your kid is wrong they’re wrong and I don’t have to appease them to have family unity and harmony. Amen preacher. Yeah I mean you know a spouse is wrong when they’re wrong I can’t cave into it to try to keep harmony in the home they’re wrong they’re wrong especially if it’s a flagrant wrong there are some wrongs it doesn’t matter you know how my wife organizes the kitchen you know as unorganized as it is it’s no problem.

▶ 20:35 Hey that’s her domain [unclear] I ain’t bothering her she could put plates anywhere she wants whatever I’m staying out of that. Yeah. But see a flagrant a flagrant decision affects the home affects the children affects the future and that has to be dealt with amen. Baptism of the Holy Ghost most Christians in America do not believe in the baptism of Holy Ghost with speaking in tongues and prophecy the word of wisdom word of knowledge faith discernment of spirits tongues interpretation miracles signs and wonders they do not believe it is for today and they cannot show you scriptural evidence for that they have to twist scriptures and the scriptures they use to twist I can expose them because they have other things in there that cannot be twisted.

▶ 21:36 are you there the baptism of the Holy Ghost is for everyone amen and we don’t agree on this baptism into the body you can’t decide to be a pastor you can’t decide to be an evangelist you can’t decide to be a Bible teacher God places in the body as what he sees fit and when he does he empowers you to do the job and we have thousands upon thousands of so-called pastors running churches and they’re no more pastor than a man in the moon they might be a good administrator they might be an evangelist you know they might have charisma when they talk they have life and made good make good oratorical speakers but they’re not a pastor. God has to place you in are you there [unclear] you can’t go to seminary [unclear] you better have the heavenly certificate.

▶ 22:38 Yes. 39% of Christians in America believe the Bible is a literal book of truth 39%. You see where we’ve gone we are not one so how can Jesus come back. He said don’t take them out of the world father but make them one whether they like it or not make them one I mean you raise your kids like that way you like it or not you’re eating the food you. Know right now will you like it or not you’re going to learn how to iron your clothes [unclear] like it or not you’re going to wash the toilet I put in my time I tell my kids I put in my time you don’t clean the toilet you got to do the dishes you guys do the vacuuming I put in my time.

▶ 23:46 And Jesus has said father whether they agree with me or not you move and make them one so the world know how many of you know God told us to be a light to the world that they may see your good works are these good works. Backing up homosexuality. backing up abortion with any reason any excuse. Are those good works not getting water baptized and teaching people not to get water baptized folks that’s horrible. Are you with me we are not one is Jesus’s prayer not going to be answered is God so weak that he can’t answer Jesus’s prayer that God himself told him to pray did you get that God himself told him to pray for the nations of the earth to inherit and possess them and then Jesus pray and God isn’t going to answer the prayer that God told him to pray does that make theological sense.

▶ 24:57 Doesn’t make any sense correct not scriptural spiritual sense. Amen aren’t you glad to come to church today. Yeah. Now as I told you before all the nations were found by the late 1700s [unclear] evangelizing to Hawaii in 1820 the Congo in 1888 and there are still. Uncontacted. Indigenous tribes out there Brazil has seen 42 of them but no contact and when citizens try to contact them they kill them there’s a fight went on arrows and spears or are used against guns and the government forbids people to make contact with these people for two reasons it’s going to annihilate them they can’t fight against guns and our diseases that we have will destroy them so these people have not been hit with the gospel yet and the Bible says that they everyone will so how can he come and that’s just in Brazil Peru Peru has some so does New Guinea and so.

▶ 26:23 Does deep Africa when I was in Africa in 85 and we were getting ready to start the service this 500 africans out there had come for the meeting leaders and their spouses and all of a sudden there was a big uproar yeah and I and I’m going what what in the world is going on I mean we’re getting ready to meet [unclear] and finally somebody come up and nobody did anything because I mean this was there was excitement in the air there was an uproar and then they finally got the message up to the platform where we were at and they had just given the news that a tribe that had never been reached with the gospel had just turned to Christ [unclear] got there he presented the chief with the gospel the chief believed in the whole tribe believed and then all of us got excited.

▶ 27:19 And by the way it was that tribe that worships the cobra. Where they get the cobra to come out of the rocks and the lady the maiden goes up and she kisses the cobra how many have seen that and you guys are literally [unclear] I Have to know these things when I go to Africa I want to know everything about Africa all right and that was the tribe that came to the one of the villages that came to Christ in that beautiful yeah and so folks. Wycliffe people are on this they’re trying to put the Bible in every language then they go in and they break our language down they’ve done a great job by the way great job anyway. In south America in Brazil there’s 42 known uncontacted in the indigenous people in 2014 now look at this statistic in 1910 sub-Saharan Africa sub-saharan means below the Sahara desert and.

▶ 28:30 1.4 percent of Christians live there that was 8.7 million of the world’s Christians in 2010 23.6 [unclear] of Christian population are african and there’s 400 million of them and they’re fifty percent of the population. Africa has become the capital of christianity in the world the dark continent has become the light continent through the preaching of the gospel while the light continents Europe and America have become the dark continent I mean we’re going back to tattoos bone in our nose bones in our nipples and and all this stuff oh and a crazy haircut you know we’re going back to the darkness and they’re coming out of that voodoo and juju into the light [unclear] America and Europe is going into the darkness.

▶ 29:32 Yeah. now if God would have come when these people wanted him to come look how many would have missed out on the kingdom and God’s prophecies would not have been fulfilled. Asia-pacific 1910 4.5% of christianity lived in the Asia pacific and that includes North Korea China and these are. Communist nations and the Muslim nations are thick there all right in 2010 13% of the Christian population is in Asia pacific and 32% of the asian pacific population that means that some of these nations are like 60 70 percent Christian.

▶ 30:28 was that worth Jesus waiting to come yes isn’t that just logical if you were one of these people where were you glad he waited absolutely is it making sense to you hallelujah now China alone has over 200 million Christians since 1982 after the cultural revolution and was that worth waiting for and no one thought China could be reached and God just went in there and did it without tearing down the bamboo curtain or anything he just went in and started moving [unclear] yeah no American missionaries messed that up until later as we usually do 2% of the Jews are Christians. Americans have spent billions of dollars trying to reach the Jew.

▶ 31:23 because they’re God’s chosen people and you know they they God brought him a nation back in 1948 and you know we got to reach them how many of you know it’s best to put your money into what God is harvesting. Alleluia think about it is God going to come with 2% Jews Christians when he promised that he would graft them back in to the olive tree are you there is this makes sense yes. In 1910 Latin America was 94% catholic and. 1% protestant in 2014 it is 69 percent catholic and 19 percent protestant and growing and this spirit-filled church is the one that’s growing and this is what I hear okay this is what I hear when I went to Latin America over the world I asked the people why did you stop becoming a catholic and become a pentecostal spiritual person and especially the women this is what they told me the Catholics promote drinking when my husband drink he is a bad man.

▶ 32:44 The Pentecostals the spiritual people they tell you don’t drink they teach you the Bible says don’t drink when my husband doesn’t drink he is a good man that’s why we are Pentecostals. Amen I heard it over and over in Africa I would ask ex-Muslims why [unclear] did you become a Christian every one of them said Allah doesn’t do miracles Jesus he does miracles. However I mean folks I was there I was interviewed on the tv and the radio and everything else and I got a you know I get the I get to do things. hallelujah isn’t that a great report. Then women wanted a good husband and the Catholics wasn’t producing them.

▶ 33:47 reasons advent predictors and teasers have been wrong since Darby and Miller invented this pre-tribulation premillennial rapture theory and it is a theory because it has a lot of holes in it all right and number one Israel didn’t become a nation till 1948 so how could he come in 1844. 1844 they predicted Jesus are going to come on a certain day in October the something and people literally gave away their possessions gave away their farms gave away their wagons their horses everything they put on white robes man and they went to the mountaintop or they went to some church service and they were ready for the king of kings to come through the sky thousands upon thousands from Maine all the way down to Florida and Jesus didn’t come they called it the great disappointment.

▶ 34:44 So they readjusted things and they keep telling us Jesus is coming any minute folks if that is true why didn’t he come a minute ago. Is. That a logical question because why it isn’t the appointed time and all things haven’t been done. But they like to butter the Christian people up you just believe God [unclear] everything going to work out don’t have to vote right you don’t have to think about your politics you don’t have to you know worry about what church you go to you believe in Christ you just go on ahead and we’re a bunch of dumbed down American believers because that’d be true that’s a little bit because most of you don’t read your Bible through the week I know I’ve taken a lot of surveys so the Holy Spirit can’t speak to you because you’ve got no time to read the Bible the spiritual food and you don’t take time to study it the Bible says study to show thyself approved study is [unclear] reading study has taken the time to know what you’re reading.

▶ 35:58 [unclear]. And so you go and you listen to preachers and you just believe what they say without checking them out and you listen to the radio the radio is the worse than the tv they’re going to tell you the same junk over and over [unclear] you just believe it you don’t have to have any proof everybody says it so they got [unclear] they got to be right. The gospel is the witness to all nations all nations weren’t discovered till seventeen the late 1700 the day of wrath has not come nor all [unclear] under his footstool and the prevailing did Jesus say I’m going to build a church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it are the gates of hell prevailing against us right now in America absolutely unrighteous laws unrighteous ways are abundant in America they’re on the increase and righteousness morals and christianity’s on the decrease.

▶ 36:56 So how can he come a glorious church without spot or wrinkle [unclear] are we righteous the church in America when you accept homosexual marriages and homosexual lifestyle is that a righteous belief no that is not. And there there they are ordaining them as ministers it’s horrible denominations are making ministers out of it. That’s these predictors and teasers some of them say well we don’t know the day or hour but they tease you [unclear] Jerusalem is surrounded by armies and you know [unclear] Russia is going to is down there now so they tease you getting you thinking whoa yeah it’s any minute without predicting a date are you there and these people are millionaires from telling you fantasies.

▶ 37:59 The books and the tapes and the money they make their multi-millionaire. The father gives Jesus all nations as the musicians come. We go to the book of Revelations and we find the solution it says in Revelation chapter 5 I saw and behold a multitude that could not be numbered what kind of multitude an innumerable company of people out of every nation out of every kindred out of every tribe out of every language out of what every language these indigenous tribes that haven’t been reached at is he going to bring some of them in yeah every language every tribe every ethnic group he is out to win them and they.

▶ 39:02 Were clothed with white robes what is white robes the righteousness of a saint did Jesus tell us to be a light to the world yes this church that he’s talking about obeyed God’s word and became a light to the world the righteousness of the saints the saints were living right this is Revelation the [unclear] prophecy of the future result amen and he says these people came out of what the rapture they came out of what great tribulation said great tribulation these people that cannot be numbered came out of what great tribulation can God bring his church through problems amen amen.

▶ 39:58 The blood of Christ and this is what it says they came out of great tribulation by the blood of the Lamb Jesus’s death is so powerful that nothing can stop what he’s going to do in these last days and our belief in that death is sufficient enough to bring us in and make us one and God fulfill his will in us in that beautiful. [unclear] folks that’s powerful. Your children have a future I’m telling you your children’s children have a future we have something to look forward to that this world has not. Experienced yet and it’s gonna be glorious now.
