Persecution has a Face--June 14, 2020: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:06 Good morning everyone it’s good to have everyone thank you for joining us. I’m gonna begin with the scripture this morning. Jesus Christ. When he is speaking it says in Luke chapter 5 verse 4 when he had stopped speaking he said to simon launch out into the deep and let let down your nets for a catch but simon answered and said to him master we have toiled all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless at your word I will let down the net and when they had done this they caught a great number of fish and their net was breaking and this scripture remind me that though in our country in America there may not be a lot of revival going on but when Jesus Christ says let down the nets when Jesus Christ.

▶ 1:13 Says it’s time then things change and we want to pray that God would be the one to say let down your nets into the deep because you know when he speaks things happens things happen so this morning as we begin to worship let’s ask God to be the one speaking this morning speaking to us speaking to the people out there in the world through us and let’s stand and give him glory and honor and praise this morning I invite you to stand and let’s worship together.

▶ 25:15 Let me find your seats in his presence in Jesus name amen. Before we get started into the word the best part of this song I can feel it in my spirit feel it in my bones. Gonna send revival bring them all back home you know that’s the promise of God your children that go stray he said I’ll bring your children from afar this is a very powerful song. Can you feel it in your spirit can you feel it in your bones God’s gonna send revival bring them all back. Whoa that’s a powerful song that really is now aloo yeah I just want to let you know I’m excited and we serve a God that’s gonna fulfill his word it doesn’t matter what’s going on around us.

▶ 26:15 Keep your eye on Jesus and the Old Testament the prophets said we look under you law and it doesn’t matter what’s happening around we look unto you you’re gonna bring us through you’re gonna work this thing out amen I feel it and must be read feel it in my bone well God’s gonna send revival bring them all back home. Amen the backsliders the sinners amen that’s God’s destiny that’s God’s purpose and that’s the church’s destiny and with that we will.

▶ 26:54 Get into our word for the day I want to get this kingdom into you the way into the kingdom remember the kingdom is within us all right Jesus said seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shelter clothing food whatever will be added unto you the kingdom is to be priority we enter the kingdom through Christ and his sacrifice on the cross Jesus said if you don’t have righteousness better than the scribes and the Pharisees you cannot enter the kingdom the scribes and the Pharisees rejected Jesus and his death on the cross and the righteousness that he imputes to us our position of righteousness that he gives us even though we still got sin in our life is why we can enter the gate of the kingdom can I hear an amen we also got to get born again of the spirit we got to get converted and we got to become as a child just obey.

▶ 27:56 He is the king in the kingdom he is a king of righteousness he’s the king of peace he’s the king of power and we enter into the joy of our king and our Lord the fruit of the kingdom is righteousness peace and joy in power in the Holy Ghost that’s the fruits of the kingdom amen so we come in with a position of righteousness but the king is in the kingdom to bring our condition up to our position in that a great amen alleluia and we found that there is a reign seek God until he reigns righteousness upon you don’t quit seeking him until the rain comes and he develops righteousness in you and there’s a fountain of cleansing in the house of David the house of God for sin and impurity.

▶ 28:54 Not every sin is a hell sin is just some sins just don’t help us in life they’re impure and so we also found that those poor in the spirit and persecuted for right works is the kingdom of God if we are poor in the natural world we lack food clothing shelter medicine or whatever we can’t provide it for ourselves when we are poor in the spiritual world we lack spiritual things and we have to go to Jesus to get them amen and so those who recognize their need for spiritual things pour in the spirit that’s what the kingdom of God is all about how many of you need Jesus to give you riches of the spirit yes you can’t do it on your own it isn’t a mental thing it isn’t something a men can do it takes gone and if you do that if you’re gonna serve the righteous king righteously you’re going to be persecuted you’re going to be mistreated that is the kingdom so with that let’s go over to our next slide here and I’m going to make this statement that persecution mistreatment has a face and may lead to armed conflict.

▶ 30:15 Okay Matthew 24:1 that famous second coming chapter that everybody distorts Jesus starts out saying this temple that you see is going to be torn down it’s going to be destroyed every stones gonna be destroyed okay. This is the one the prophecy and was prophesied to come be born of a virgin the shepherd’s had angels visiting them and tell them to go worship the king Jesus as a baby and they did this is the same. God the prophesied and brought the wise men over to give gifts to Jesus and worship him this is the same supernatural God that promised all these things and now he’s here fulfilling them and he says I’m going to destroy this temple now I don’t know about you but I just start tearing the temple down.

▶ 31:18 It’s gonna be torn down okay let’s just tear it down let’s just get rid of this thing the temple was a shadow law of things to come the house of God to come the temple wasn’t the real deal God says he didn’t dwell in temples made with him you see Stephen come along and he also said to the people Jesus is going to tear this temple down and the laws with it the shadow laws with it that’s what Stephen did costs both of them their life to say this natural temple is going to be torn down and this is what religious people do they hang tenaciously onto their personal beliefs their religion no matter what even if Jesus is saying I’m gonna destroy it are you there. So instead of going out and tearing the temple down just say okay Lord you want don’t want to templin anymore let’s just get rid of this thing they 40 years later 70 ad fought the roman empire.

▶ 32:24 Their military [unclear] beat the Roman empire and God’s whole purpose was to come in and tear that temple down if they would have torn it down themselves. The army wouldn’t had to come in. But because of their stubbornness their foolishness and who were they mistreating they were mistreating Jesus Christ himself Jesus said I’m gonna tear the temple down well we’re not gonna let you tear the temple down we don’t believe you. So Jesus brought in the roman army and they tore that temple down and not only simple they turn the hold over the whole city of Jerusalem down are you with me it took an armed conflict to fulfill a promise of God are you here church.

▶ 33:19 Let’s look ass take a look at American history how did we win our freedom from the tyranny of Britain armed conflict how did we win the slaves being freed from slavery armed conflict and almost 400,000 white boys in the north lost their life in that war to win the freedom for black slaves and where is the cry for all life’s matter. One just blacks back there where is the cry for the pastors and the Christians that put their property in their life on the line to let the slaves on the underground railroad escape to the north. Does their life’s matter. Where’s the retribution asks for those soldiers families where’s the rest rebuked as for those Christians that laid everything on the line to get those slaves out of the south and to the north to be free where is that cry there’s something wrong today in there amen it’s got a big enough to solve this absolutely.

▶ 34:34 Hallelujah so. Persecution and mistreatment has a face and may lead to armed conflict God has different ways of bringing about his predictions. Plagues war. Famine hexagon okay are you there wouldn’t it be better if we just followed and did what he said wouldn’t have been better if they just tore the temple down you don’t want the temple down with dick the dipper down. Hallelujah. So we’re gonna go to second Samuel chapter 15 verses 10 through 12 and we’re going to read the conspiracy was strong conspiracy is a hidden agenda to overthrow a movement a government a leader or whatever it’s a secret thing.

▶ 35:28 The people increased continually with Absalom Absalom was David’s third child Absalom killed David’s firstborn. Now Absalom wants to be king dad’s old he’s out of it you know he should retire he’s to just quit and give up I should be king and how did he do it he went to the gate where the people came in for judgment and he stood in the gate and he called everybody and said hey if I were made judge oh any suit. All with any suit or cause I would do him justice you don’t like having to go to the fields and glean because you’re poor I’ll fix it so the farmer has to bring it to you. Are you there.

▶ 36:28 You don’t like not having to work on the Sabbath day you want to work seven days a week no problem I’ll fix you up whatever the cause whatever it was he tried to find an answer for them to win them to his side and that’s exactly what the liberals progressives socialists and communists do today they try to solve everybody’s problem to get them to come to their side are you there. So Absalom sent spies secret agents out in the community hey well you think about epsilon being king yeah I don’t know well you know David’s getting old and you know I can’t think like he used to and you know we need a young new leader in there and and I’m next in line for the throne and epsilon is next in line for their song what do you think well I I consider that and they starts talking to people into who he knew hear the sound of the trumpet you make a shop that Absalom is kay.

▶ 37:40 So they went out. And they promoted Absalom’s king throughout the kingdom when he got enough people following him. Conspiracy became strong. When the trumpet sounds proclaimed that Absalom is king now here’s the important one please pay attention. With Absalom went 200 men out of Jerusalem Absalom went to David and said dad I gotta go and I got a sacrifice you know I gotta do something for God here outside of Jerusalem really what he wanted to get away from Jerusalem to lead this conspiracy okay and he took two hundred men out of Jerusalem David’s men David was in Jerusalem he took David’s men with him come on guys follow me.

▶ 38:42 Walk out him in were they. They were called. They went in their simplicity their ignorance they did not know what Absalom was up to and so many Americans do not know what the democratic party is up to and also the republican party when you have rhinos like mccain and like romney they want to run for president I wouldn’t vote because they weren’t republicans they weren’t for our constitution they weren’t for capitalism.

▶ 39:20 They wanted to blend everything with socialism are you out there you say preacher you’re preaching on politics I’m just preaching the truth you can’t get away from government remember government is the third most talked about topic in the Bible outside of God Jesus and right and wrong it’s government everywhere you look there’s government are you with me and so if we’re gonna have government we need what a good government and we don’t need to be simple in our thinking we need to be educated we need to know what black lives matter is all about what and tiffa is all about we need to know what the religious and socialists are all about I read every one of manifesto so I know what they’re about it doesn’t matter what they say out there publicly it’s their goals are to destroy America turn us from capitalism and and take away the constitution that our founding fathers gave us that’s their goal and the muslims goes the same.

▶ 40:26 There can be a good muslim when it comes to government because their Bible tells them that they’ve got to conquer the world with a force and make everybody believe like they believe are you there. How many say I don’t want to be simple. Yes you need to read you need to get educate and pastors should be teaching this stuff the churches should be sharp on this stuff they should know what’s going on. They knew not anything of what Absalom was going to do they joined his conspiracy. Not knowing not doing the research not taking the time to find out the truth.

▶ 41:21 So Absalom became king and his father David fled the throne and the kingdom because David’s very quickly he did not have the army organized he did not have the ability to defeat epsilon at that moment so he left Jerusalem left his throne and fled. See David’s wisdom hadn’t left him yet. But if you read on the people of Israel was slain before the servants of David twenty thousand people in one day the battle was scattered over the face of the country and listen now brooke you can learn a great lesson right here you ready for this yeah even at your age you need to know how powerful God is you young men you need to know how powerful God is all right.

▶ 42:16 The battle was scattered over the face of the whole country and the forest killed more people than the sword. Now how does a tree kill people how does thorns kill people when you got God against you he can rain hell down he in another ward he just brought rocks from heaven and destroyed the army in another place he just brought a plague and the whole army woke up dead the next day when you mess around with God’s people he doesn’t need a sword to do everything he can win the battle by being on your side using natural sources and one of those natural sources is epsilen himself epsons riding on his horse through the forest and the Bible says his head got caught in an oak tree and the horse went out from under he hears absence swinging in the middle of the air hung up in that oak tree now he’s gonna die.

▶ 43:26 Sooner or later from. Suffocation or lack of water or lack of food or whatever but Joab just come along and put him out of his misery just bing threw a spear and the tree was going to kill abdullah. And God said the forest killed more of Absalom’s army than the sword did you got God on your side don’t you be afraid of anything amen God will find a way to get you through things. Alleluia it’s powerful. God is not limited to our natural abilities folks. What Absalom and his followers and the simple ones did not consider okay.

▶ 44:21 The naive people the one who rallied behind out Absalom and absent himself there’s something they did not consider here they didn’t think about it all and neither is a lot of Americans considering in our day is the God factor you cannot rule out the God factor let’s see what it was God was correcting David for David’s adultery and murder of an innocent man. David committed adultery with bathsheba he had bathsheba’s husband killed by the sword of ammon so God came and said David because you’ve done this. The swords not gonna leave your household I’m gonna raise up your own kids against you well that’s what happened Absalom came against his own dad didn’t he and he said I’m gonna kill the child that is born from bathsheba your child and God smote that child all right.

▶ 45:29 That was it. That’s the punishment. No word did it say David was gonna lose his throne move his ministry of prophecy lose his priestly mantle no where does it say that but what it did say is God forgave David after God told David what was going to happen I’m gonna have to correct you and this is how I’m going to correct you he says God says I put away your sin you will not die and then you will not die Absalom couldn’t kill David he said if if absent I’m going to listen to the prophets he wouldn’t dare raise up against his dad God said David’s not going to die. Are you there checked it pays to know the scriptures it pays to read the prophets it pays to know what’s going on or else you’re going to be fighting against God nothing about the throne removal as part of the penalty nothing like that at all.

▶ 46:36 So David after he escaped and got away he sent spies back on Absalom he reversed it he sent secret agents in there to create havoc in. Epsilon’s camp and absum listen to him because God’s on David’s side you know when you’re on God’s side you’re gonna win you’re gonna win and they gave epsilen bad counsel. Abdomen and his followers died not David absent him lost his brief throne he wasn’t on the throne hardly any time oh there’s one other thing he said your your adversaries are going to have intimacy with your wives in public you did it in secret but I’m going to cause this publicly and that’s what Absalom did publicly he had end up and see with David’s concubines and so forth but that was it that was the punishment.

▶ 47:37 All right David was restored back as king. Prophet and priest. Only the levitical priesthood could go in to the temple. But David when he brought the ark of the covenant back could go before that ark of the covenant and God accepted him as a priest it’s the church today priests of God yes that’s why Peter said huh we are a kingdom of priests hallelujah are we to rule and reign on earth yes. We are to rule and reign on that see we have that kingdom mantle and are we to go into the world and make disciples of all nations preaching the gospel yes so see David was restored back as a prophet a king and a priest of God and he was stored quickly God did not drag it out can I hear an amen hallelujah.

▶ 48:41 Now what the opponents and their followers today and their simple ones don’t consider see. The church’s opponents the church’s simple ones. Unlearned we watch too much tv and not enough healthy news. We like entertainment more than we’d like to dig into news and get information that’s the simple people alright. David is like Christ church David was called filled with the Holy Spirit David was chosen to be king and a prophet and a priest David was faithful David messed up as John says in John 1 I would that you not sin but if you do sin you have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous we can go like David did and get our scene corrected amen.

▶ 49:46 We can go and get forgiveness and the food we need correction he’ll correct this and that’s what the Bible says as a father chasen’s his child corrects his child sold does the heavenly father correct his people how many raise your hands there Lord I I submit to your correction yeah we need correction. No matter how hardheaded you are you need correction. So God corrected David he corrects us okay big deal all right he doesn’t he doesn’t kick us out of his kingdom he corrects us he restores us David was restored back to the kingdom and he refreshes us he says I was sent times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord and I will restore all things that all the prophets have spoken since time began.

▶ 50:40 God corrected his church by a great awakenings and after great awakenings he says if you want to do your own thing I’ll send [unclear]eus to your soul. Okay that’s one of the ways he corrects us we get dry. We get dead in the spirit okay it wakes us up that we need to get moving again. In the first great awakening in the early 1700s you can read this in any encyclopedia or historical resources secular or Christian. The church had gotten. Weak and dead because of rational thinking well we don’t need God we can solve our own problems okay.

▶ 51:36 Reasoning came into the church. Psychology whatever you want to call it so God moved and brought a great spiritual awakening. Right after that great spiritual awaking they some people didn’t get awakened. You know he brought correction and that’s when the revolutionary war happened. Are you there. So after the revolutionary war they had not solved. The slavery problem so God moved again around 1800 and he brought the church’s attention to slavery back to prayer back to a real experience with God not just going through formalities the supreme.

▶ 52:32 Court opposed it and said blacks were not human being there was a lot of opposition to what God was trying to do so that awakening begin to die off when the government opposed what God was trying to do with the slavery issue and there was other sin now and both before both spiritual awakenings people were saying we just need to help the poor help the alcohol except the down-and-out that’s all just just be good neighbors folks there’s a lot more to God than being helping the poor and now right. So in 1850s God moved again and that’s when the republican party got established on the whole platform of abolishing slavery and keeping the states united.

▶ 53:32 That’s where the republican party got birth in this third awakening and the civil war came and slavery got solved by armed conflict. Tyranny from Britain got solved by our armed conflict. In God move mine lee in the south and in the north a tremendous spiritual waking in spite of the war in spite of their conflict and their differences on slavery God and a blacks were coming to Christ in that second awakening and the third one but the whites would not let him in their churches. You know they preach the gospel to him they got saved but they couldn’t come into their churches it’s you ought to see the pictures painted back there the whites are over here in their building enjoying God and the blacks are over here and they’re building enjoying God how many know they’re they’ve missed the point of awakening there.

▶ 54:41 Yeah some of us are a little too slow and hard-headed to listen to God so. The fourth awakening happened in the late 40s Billy Graham or roberts came out of that other ones came out were to knowledge prophecy healing miracles Billy Graham filled stadiums all over the world just doing nothing but preaching the gospel he was the first one to have a million in attendance. Preaching the gospel not a rock concert not a you know an actress out there or hollywood performers preaching the gospel that was a part I lived through that it was powerful. Very powerful of what God was doing and so it continued through the 50s and then that awakening is when we put in God we trust on our money and one nation under God and our pledge of allegiance that’s when we did it.

▶ 55:45 That’s how powerful that awakening well that’s when. Eisenhower. Got the supreme court to overrule the 1896. Supreme court ruling that blacks were equal but separate and the republicans could not get the democrats to pass a civil rights amendment. Now black people don’t know that you. Got to go read history to get this I lived through it and that’s why I know a lot of it and I’m a reader I was born to be a reader I read newspapers not the funny papers not the comics and not just sport fades I read the editorials I actually read the first second headline baited are you out there yeah.

▶ 56:39 So. It wasn’t until the 60s that the civil rights amendment passed and the democrats took credit for it that they had opposed all them ears. Pretty smart of them have to agree. God corrected his church after ever awakening and he corrected it by an awakening this lasted into the 80s the in the 60s God poured out his spirit on all denominations starting with the episcopalians they spoke in tongues they were filled with the Holy Ghost nobody could stop God he went to pisgah pay in presbyterian anglican and fisk you know right on down the line in 1978 or 68 he poured it out in the catholic church I went to a convention at anaheim convention center during this time and there were over 10,000 catholics priests and nuns and everything in there speaking in tongues and worshiping God just like spirit-filled church’s.

▶ 57:43 Powerful and the catholic church was the only one smart enough to say we’re not going to kick him out all the other denominations are kicking him out and so they went out and started independent churches but the catholics saw that error and they said we don’t want to lose our people will give you a room in the back and you guys can have your surface and it worked for a catholic couple are you there alleluia then the hippies come along they rebelled against anything yeah if everything’s artificial everything’s plastic they’re buzzed out in their head from marijuana and drugs and lsd and all that stuff and it looked like a hopeless mess and then God blew across the world again and what’d he do he brought those hippies in and they were titled Jesus people amen and then about ten years later in the 80s that.

▶ 58:43 Awakening died because of the faith camp the false healings the false prophecies all these people are trying to act like that they were ministers and they weren’t all these people trying to copy what God used people to do they try to copy Billy Graham or roberts and all these and it doesn’t work and so God drew back the prosperity movement came in the faith movement came in the prophetic movement came in all this stuff came in and just drowned it out the real revival that God had done. And that’s what we do we are great at putting out the fire God we pray for the fire and then when it comes we want to put it out so God corrects his church and this is what our opponents don’t understand is right now the American church is going through a season of correction they don’t understand that and neither do naive Christians understand that.

▶ 59:49 Somebody on my facebook page says you know what it’s going to take persecution to wake us up I said well how much persecution do you think we need they shut us down on abortion they stood us down on homosexual lifestyles and marriages they shut us down I mean you if you talk about righteousness they call it hate speech how much more persecution do we need. Don’t you think we just need to submit to God and get back into the river amen I mean oh yeah yeah. And. Leanness of the soul when you do your own thing he brings leanness to the soul and that’s your testimony.

▶ 1:00:38 You need to get fired back up again as I said the last spiritual awakening was in the 80s and we’re being corrected now the church just like David will be restored back to reigning preaching and ministry to Jesus in spirit and truth can I hear an amen yes the church will I mean as a whole we can do it as an individual church but I’m talking about God’s gonna sweep across America again he said he would bring times of refreshing he said he would restore and God has not done with America he’s not done with your family he’s not done with your marriage he’s not finished with your children they will all come back home hey man. The Bible says I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it is that scripture still here yes.

▶ 1:01:38 The Bible says he’s going to present to himself a glorious church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing is that going to be fulfilled yes. Hallelujah. The Bible says in Revelations that the church overcomes Satan by the blood of the lamb the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives into death and they keep the commandments of God. Can Jesus do that in his church kenny willy yes do we have something great to look forward to or we got to get caught up in this doom and gloom stuff. Alleluia. Did Jesus say that I’ll make you the head and not to tell yes you’ll rule over they will not rule over you you know what he said is the church going to get ignited and come back look what we did in the 50s as a church by a move of God can that happen again you bet you just hang in there church the king always has another move a man he always has another move when they say checkmate ah.

▶ 1:02:54 You can’t checkmate Jesus he always has another move. In Psalm 2 says oh city of God glorious things are spoken of you let’s get the focus on the glorious things oh there amen. And. He says your children will come from afar and the nations will come to the brightness of your rising. Don’t you want to see that hallelujah Solomon had to wait 13 years between visitations it’s been almost 40 years between the last awakening and the new one that’s coming let’s pray it in amen things are going to get better church I don’t don’t get your news from the newspaper get your news from the Holy Spirit alleluia get your news from the good news.
