Now the part of the chapter I want to start with in verse number one it says
unto thee will I cry O Lord my rock be not silent to me lest if thou be silent
to me I become like them that go down into the pit. Now those that go down in
the pit that's referring to hell and I'm gonna we're gonna go into that a little
more later on but he said I don't want to be like those that go down in the pit
he's like I'm saved I'm going to heaven I'm not gonna go to hell but he said if
God were to not listen to me when I pray that reminds me of how it is for those
who are not saved because let me tell you something God does not hear the
prayers of an unsaved man now many people think that he hears everyone's
prayers and so forth but it's just not true we are not all God's children as
many as received him the Bible says to them gave you power to become the sons
of God even to them that believe on his name let me just give you a few
scriptures on this if you would turn in your Bible to Proverbs 28 we're in Psalm
28 but if you flip over to Proverbs 28 and while you're turning there I'll read
you another scripture Proverbs 15 8 the sacrifice of the wicked is an
abomination to the Lord but the prayer of the upright is his delight look at
Proverbs 28 9 the Bible says this he that turneth away his ear from hearing
the law even his prayer shall be abomination so somebody who doesn't want
to listen to what God has to say somebody doesn't want to listen to the
Word of God even their prayers and abomination you don't say well at least
they're praying no their prayer is sin and there's another place where he says
let their prayer become sin that's what David prayed upon some people in another
part of Psalms here's another scripture about the believer Psalm 66 18 David
said if I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me Deuteronomy
326 Moses said but the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes and would not
hear me and the Lord said unto me let it suffice these speak no more unto me of
this matter you see it's possible for a Christian to get to the point where God
is not listening to them when they pray like he doesn't listen to those that go
down to the pit because people that are not saved God doesn't hear their prayers
okay but people that are saved he does hear our prayers but we can make God
angry with us or wroth with us to where he won't hear our prayers if we regard
iniquity in our heart he said he won't hear our prayers he said in verse number
26 of Deuteronomy 3 that he didn't hear Moses prayer because he was angry with
them 1st Samuel 8 18 I'll just give you the story quickly you remember how they
had asked a king against God's wishes and against the wishes of Samuel and he
warned them and he told them this is what it's going to be like you're going
to lose freedom and by the way they had all kinds of freedom before that they
lived in a great country but they said nay but we will have a king over us and
they lost their freedom they were taxed he said he'll take away your sons your
daughters will force them to be in the military he'll force them to be
confectionaries in his palace he'll force them to be his bakers he'll take
the best of your fields the best of your vineyards the best of your property and
just a few short chapters later we see David facing Goliath and he's told that
whoever defeats Goliath that his family will be made free in Israel wow thank
you I can be free if I slay the giant but before that when it was under the
system of the judges everyone was free until they made the mistake of having a
king set over them that basically would oppress them and so forth but look what
he's listen to what he said in 1st Samuel 8 18 you don't have to turn there
Samuel after he finishes warning them all the reasons why they don't want a
king why they need to stick with the government that he set up for them he
said and you shall cry out in that day because of your king which he shall have
chosen you and the Lord will not hear you in that day and by the way that's
where America is at tonight America has had every warning God's preachers and
God's men and no I'm not talking about the milk toast spineless sorry excuse
for pastors across this country who have not warned about it because they've been
in some series that they bought off the internet for $29.95 on you know growing
in grace or something you know just some generic bland not specific thing that
they've been preaching again and again and again week after week just trying to
get that paycheck I'm talking about God's men that actually read the Bible
they're filled with the spirit that preach what's needing to be preached
today have been warning and preaching this book has warned and it's just like
when Josiah found the book of the law in the temple and he opened it up and read
it he rent his clothes because he said God is going to judge us because we have
broken all these commandments the warning was there and we've been warned
and today we've said a king over us King Obama and that's why these bunch of
milk toast preachers across America are saying you know God fear God honor the
king I didn't think we had a king I thought we took care of that a couple
hundred years ago you know but oh you know the King Obama all of our
government that's over us that that wants to enslave us and is enslaving us
you say why are you so fired up about this you know it makes me mad it makes
me mad that this used to be a great country that people died for the Mike
both of my grandfathers received wounds dying for and my grandfather said to me
before he passed away just passed away a few weeks ago but he said to me when he
was yet alive he said if I would have seen what this country would become he
said I never would have gone and fought for this country and and sacrificed the
sacrifice that I made he said I wouldn't have done it said if I would have known
what it would turn into he said I would not have done it and I don't blame him
because it's a sad thing to see hundreds of years of heritage and righteousness
in this country flush down the toilet because people are too wicked to change
their ways to understand what's going on and therefore we're all going to be
judged we're all going to go into captivity we're all being enslaved you
say oh it's not a big our country is gone I mean whatever was left whatever
hope was left of this country getting back on the right track it's gone our
country is a completely socialist country now that the government doesn't
care what the people want they don't care what we want they don't care what
people are saying they're gonna do what they're gonna do they're gonna tax the
fire us you say well what's the problem you know I have seven people in my
family are you listening to me I have seven people in my family you know much
it would cost for me to buy health insurance for my family bar to buy
health insurance probably about fifteen thousand dollars a year for a plan that
would cover almost nothing I already worked my fingers to the bone I already
sleep in my car three nights a week I already work and slave and do the work
of two people so I can write them a big check on April 15th and I'm sick of it
tired of it we don't live in a free country free let me teach you something
about free have you ever got on so when you use the illustration about how it
gets free don't you say that if they have to give you money for it then it's
not free so how am I free when the government's taking all my money away
and now they want me to pay another $15,000 to their corrupt wicked abortion
machine their corrupt wicked perverted birth control pill dispenser whatever
filthy thing dope dispensing psychic psychotropic drug dispensing to kids and
abortions and all this stuff that I don't believe in that I want nothing to
do it and I will not do it I will not buy their insurance they can take their
insurance and shove it that's what they can do with it I'm not gonna fund all
that garbage I'm not gonna fund all their abortions and perverts they can
drop dead as far as I'm concerned and we're gonna get to that in the sermon a
little later because you know what I'm not gonna be a part of it I don't want
anything to do with it so I can pay their fines of tens of thousands of
dollars or whatever I'm angry about it and if you're not angry about it it's
because you just don't know what's going on or maybe you just don't know anything
about our country or the Bible or I don't know what the problem is but let's
read in the scripture here he said unto thee will I cry o Lord my rock be not
silent to me lest if thou be silent to me I become like them that go down into
the pit hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to thee when I
lift up my hands toward thy holy Oracle draw me not away with the wicked and
with the workers of iniquity and watch this which speak peace to their
neighbors but mischief is in their hearts give them according to their
deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavors give them after the work
of their hands render to them their desert because they regard not the works
of the Lord nor the operation of his hands he shall destroy them and not
build them up blessed be the Lord why because he had heard the voice of my
supplications that's why blessed be God that when we say God give these wicked
people what they deserve he'll hear our prayer and he'll destroy them like he
said he would look if you would have saw him 55 you'll find almost the same
statement that's all 55 verse 21 you see let me introduce you to the Bible this
is what by is what the Bible teaches it teaches that wicked ungodly bloody
deceitful oppressors will get what they deserve and that's what David was
praying to happen and he said thank God it will happen look at that look at Psalm
55 21 and compare it if you would to Psalm 28 where we just were verse number
three okay Psalm 55 21 says this the words of his mouth were smoother than
butter but war was in his heart his words were softer than oil yet they were
drawn swords compare that with Psalm 28 where he said draw me not away with the
wicked and with the workers of iniquity which speak peace to their neighbors but
mischief is in their hearts you see many times the person who speaks the most
peacefully in the most buttery and smooth and top is actually the evildoer
you know they get mad at the person who says something well and people get mad
at me all the time for things that I say I've never done violence to any person
in my life I can stand here and say I have never harmed a person did you hear
me I've never harmed anyone I've never I've never assaulted anyone I've never
killed anyone I've never beaten anyone and yet I'm in trouble for what I say
and yet mr. smooth talker is a murderer mr. smooth talker is an infanticide mr.
smooth talker is a is a warmonger and and that's okay you know it's
unbelievable to me that people are deceived by the fair speeches of the
wicked it says here the words of his mouth
psalm 55 21 were smoother than butter but war was in his heart his words were
softer than oil yet they were drawn swords cast thy burden upon the Lord and
he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved but
thou O God shall bring them down into the pit of destruction bloody and
deceitful man shall not live out half their days but I will trust in thee just
go up a few scriptures in verse 15 there of Psalm 55 it says let this is
this is David praying let death seize upon them and let them go down quick
into hell for wickedness is in their dwellings and among them you say pray
for Obama I just did let's pray for him right now let him let death seize upon
him and let him go down quick into hell for wickedness is in his dwelling in
Jesus' name amen that's what the Bible says you know and and I can't believe
you still say that after all the trouble you got it I'll say it until I'm blue in
the base or until I drop dead that's the truth that's what the Bible says I never
I'm not the one who said it in the first place you know these bloody and
deceitful evildoers and they want to make us they're like they're like Eve in
the garden you know they want to give you the fruit and make you eat it with
them is what they want to do it's not enough that they're gonna kill babies
and and put women on a bunch of birth control pills that cause silent
abortions and give them IUDs and all these devices that cause abortions and
give them all these pills and put children on drugs and put them on
psychiatric drugs and dumb them down and slow them down it's not enough that they're
gonna do all these sick and perverted things they have to give you the fruit
and say eat it with me pay for it participate in it no I wish somebody
would stand up to these people I wish somebody would stand up and say I'm
sick of it this is America nobody tells me what to do I am free I was born free
I was born in the United States of America I don't have a king I don't have
a slave master I am a free person and I don't have to do anything that I don't
want to do no one can force me to do anything that's what freedom means nobody can force me to buy some kind of a health insurance that I don't want paying for
something that I don't believe in nobody can force me to do it am I free or am I
a slave you know I thought I was born free when did the Constitution cease to
exist in this country when did that become Nolan Boyd you say
well you do obey the powers that be as far as I know that the Constitution is
still enshrined somewhere behind glass somewhere in Washington DC and it's
supposedly the law of the land and you know what I'm falling right within that
document is that document tells us tells me that I'm free tells me I'm secure in
my person my property tells me I'm the king of my castle it tells me that I
don't have to do anything that I don't want to do that's what it says it says
the federal government has no power except what's explicitly spelled out
then it lists off a bunch of my rights eight times in the first eight amendments
of the Constitution then in the Ninth Amendment it says hey just because we
listed eight things it doesn't mean that we don't have other rights that aren't
even listed here because we have all kinds of other rights that aren't even
listed that's what the Ninth Amendment says and then the Tenth Amendment says
anything that's not explicitly said in this document the government does not
have the power to do it and that's what we're living in but our country is being
taken over by a communist socialist revolution right now you could say I
don't want to come to church to hear about politics well pretty soon you
won't even be coming to church at all because the pastor is going to be in
jail and you're going to be in jail and we're all going to be slaves and we're
we're all going to be in some kind of a concentration camp somewhere like we're
living in Nazi Germany if people don't wake up and pay attention to what's
going on in this country and get your head out of stupid American Idol get
your head out of all the rock and roll bands that are financing this stuff that
are promoting this stuff quit listening to Bono and YouTube and REM and Britney
Spears and filling your mind with that trash and then maybe God would look down
at you and think that you're righteous enough and he might even spare the
nation that you live in because the Bible says if my people which are called
by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my faith and turn from their wicked ways
turn off American Idol turn off the bunch of sodomites and homosexuals that you watch on that television
turn it off
set no wicked thing before your eyes quit watching adultery and fornication
and rock and roll and all the witchcraft and all the Harry Potter and what's this
vampire one that everybody's into what's it called? Twilight
godly right
undead zombies walking around having love affairs with young teenage girls
get that trash out of your mind and maybe you realize what's going on around you
there's no such thing as vampires
driving down the road and see some car just stickers all over it's all about vampires and
twilight
that's why they don't realize what's happening in this country well I do realize what's happening
because I live in this thing called reality I go out and work and sweat and toil
and I'm the one who has to just write these checks every month
thousand dollars to the state of Texas I just wrote that check less than a month ago
five thousand dollars to the IRS just wrote that check
fifteen hundred dollars to the state of Arizona I'm just writing check after check after check after check
over and over again
I don't care I don't want to hear about Twilight I don't want to watch Star Wars with you
I'm not interested in the Indiana Jones trilogy
I'm sick of it
that movie came out twenty stupid years ago quit watching that garbage why don't you read the bible
why don't you get a hero like Moses or Caleb or Joshua or Othniel and get some real bible stories
they're much more exciting than that stupid far-fetched Hollywood remake garbage
did they make another Indiana Jones movie?
what is it?
what are they going to make another Batman next year? oh that would be cool
Batman part twelve
and you just want to go down here and watch these filthy sodomites and whore mongers
and the late show and the late late show
and all this stuff and you wonder why God's judging you
this is why he's judging us
because everybody's guilty of it practically in this country
nobody wants to get serious about serving God if we were serving God like we were supposed to in this country
God would heal our land
but instead we're filled with worldliness
ungodliness
lasciviousness
we just want to just live this heat in this lifestyle
and just if it feels good do it
and you know what we're all going to suffer for it because it is coming to an end
something's going to happen
something has to happen
don't get mad at me something has to happen
it may not happen today it's going to happen tomorrow
it might happen next year
we don't have long folks
I mean I don't know is this the end? is this going into the tribulation? I don't know
but you know what whether it is or not
it's the end of this country
I'll tell you right now
you know you're blowing it out of proportion
I'm not blowing it out of proportion at all
you may be a little uninformed that's alright
that's fine you know I don't blame you for not wanting to hear about it because it's so depressing
but you know go do a little research and tell me I'm blowing it out of proportion
something's going to happen in this country
there's going to be violence who knows what's going to happen
I don't know what's going to happen
but it's a scary thought
and you know I wish that I had this country for my children to grow up in but too many
all these Christian pastors
they're too busy watching TV
they're too busy filling their mind with the world to read the bible
to even know what it says
and then they want to correct my doctrine just because they don't know what the bible says
they want to correct me doctrinally and tell me God loves everybody
God doesn't hate anybody
you know anybody who thinks that is not fit to be a pastor because they haven't even begun to read the bible
I mean come on what do you do with all these verses that say God
the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hated
what don't you understand about that?
what don't you understand about break his teeth oh God in his mouth let him go down quick into hell
let him go down quick into the bottomless pit
I don't know what people don't understand about this stuff it's pretty clear in my bible
but the problem is that
those who are filled with the world and ungodliness and wickedness
they can't see it
they are blind because the bible says that it's possible for a Christian if they don't have the whole package of what God has to offer
in second Peter chapter one
you know add to your faith virtue virtue
all these different things he said he the lack of these things is blind and cannot see it far off
and forgotten that he's purged of his old sins
and so I just wish people would just get serious about Christianity
wake up
and figure out what's happening in this country because
you know it's to the point now where it's irreparable damage so the question is this
are you part of the problem or part of the solution because if you're part of the problem I believe you'll be the first one to go
you'll be the one that gets the judgment
because you know I believe God's going to protect and take care of me now I don't know what's going to happen
you know I explained the financial situation
I explained my personal financial situation but you know I believe that God is going to take care of me financially
I believe that my family will be fed and clothed and taken care of
hey I'm not worried about it now it makes me angry
because I'm suffering right now I go out and work a lot harder than I should have to
and all the fruit of my labor is taken away from me
that's not a fun thing
but do I think God's going to forsake me absolutely not but I think God might forsake you if you don't care
if you don't win souls if you're not doing anything about it if you're filling your mind with the world
you'll perish with the world
look at Noah's Ark
I don't believe for one second that Noah was the only man who was saved
that's not a Bible doctrine
read 1st Peter 3 and 4 he makes it clear that many of the people who died
they were judged according to men after the flesh
they died in that flood but they were saved in the spirit the Bible says
read 1st Peter 3 and 4 it makes it clear that there were men who were judged
according to men let me turn there really quick I don't want to quote it wrong to you
Noah preached for 120 years and nobody got saved
I know I've been in a lot of churches like that but guess what they weren't Bible churches
they weren't scriptural churches
you know if your church is 120 years you've never baptized anybody
you're just like Noah why don't you call it Noah's Ark Baptist Church
you know and probably one out of
eight of you is a sodomite too like I'm Noah's Ark
but it says in 1st Peter chapter 4
it says in verse 6
for this cause and this is going back to when he was talking about Noah at the end of chapter 3
he's describing Noah the old world the flood
he says in verse number 6 for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead
that they might be judged according to men in the flesh
but live according to God in the spirit
you see who won Noah the Lord?
Noah's dad, Noah's grandfather, all Noah's relatives that went before him
those people were saved somebody was saved
and he preached for 120 years he was a preacher of righteousness
and the Bible says that there were many that died
the gospel was preached to them also
yes they were judged with the world because they lived like the world
because they didn't get on the ark because they were worldly because they didn't believe
God about the flood and so forth you know Noah was too fanatical of a preacher or whatever
so they drowned
and let me tell you something I believe that those who do right
God will deliver the just and protect us you know there will be those that die for the cause of Christ
and that are imprisoned
that's part of being a Christian some people that's God's will for their life
you know Paul said I'm now ready to be offered at the time my departure is at hand
he was martyred for the cause of Christ but I believe that God will protect those who've done right
it's that way throughout the Bible
look at the book of Jeremiah, I love the book of Jeremiah
Jeremiah was a man who preached a very unpopular message
he preached a message that nobody wanted to hear
he preached the judgment of God on his nation
he said the king of Babylon is coming
he will take us captive and they said no we can win we can do this we can fight
you know you're not patriotic he said no we've sinned against God this is the judgment
we will go into captivity
he preached that message everybody hated him he was thrown in jail
then he was thrown in the bottom of an outhouse
he sunk down into the mire
one Ethiopian servant if cared about him Ebed Melek
Ebed Melek came and got
thirty guys to help him
he tied a bunch of cloths and rags together lowered them down into Jeremiah
he put them under his armpits because that's all he had the strength to do
and they lifted him up out of that monk and mire
he was put in a jail cell he ate one piece of bread every day until the bread ran out
and he suffered and was hated and persecuted but you know what happens interesting
when the king of Babylon came
not in person but Nebizar Adan the captain of his host was the one who led the troops actually in
Nebizar Adan came in
took over
they took the king to avoid him
poked out his eyes first they killed all of his children right in front of him then they poked out his eyes
that was the last thing he saw
that's what happened read the story
read the book of Jeremiah
then after they punched out his eyes they sent him into Babylon into captivity
well all the children of Israel are being led by the thousands into captivity and Jeremiah is among them
Nebizar Adan the captain of the host comes to Jeremiah and says you know what
God
is the one who sent us here to do this and he said I know that you prophesied the truth
you're the servant of God
he said you are free to go
he untied his bonds and he said
go here
come with us to Babylon go back home
he said here's some money for the road
he said go in peace
you're a man of God
see how God protected him and he ended up
being the one who was spared the judgment
even though he was persecuted even though he went through tribulation and persecution for what he believed
he was spared by God
God knows how to deliver the righteous out of affliction
I'm not preaching a prosperity gospel, Jeremiah didn't live the prosperity, he didn't live the Joel Osteen's best life now
he wasn't living his best life now in the bottom of an outhouse
but let me tell you something
he ended up being spared from judgment, God took care of him
and the longest book in the bible has his name on it because Psalms and Jeremiah are pretty much identical in length
very long books of the bible
and so God knows how to deliver those that are righteous, but you know what, most Christians in this country
are part of the problem
they're compromised
they don't stand for anything that they believe in
what good is it when we have the right to vote when Christians vote for people that aren't even
pro-life through and through
they vote for the abortionists themselves
just because they believe that a child should have to get parental consent before getting an abortion
oh wow, thank you, you're a radical you, whoa there
you conservative animal you
you know, and they vote for
warmongers, they vote for
whoremongers, they vote for
abortion promoters and protectors
you know, McCain
I don't care whether you like this or not
this is faithful word back to the church that was here before you got here and it will be here after you're gone
McCain said he wanted to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood
don't talk to me about McCain
it's true
all these Republicans, it's the same thing, it's garbage
I won't give you an ankle for any of them
I'm going to tell you something, we need to wake up in this country, turn from our wicked ways
and stop compromising and saying the lesser of two evils, hogwash
I want no fellowship with the unproven for worse of darkness, I'd rather just reprove them
you know, we need to wake up
you say oh, you're going to change? I'm not going to change anything, it's over, it's too late, it's done
but all I know is that I'm going to be standing at the end of it all, are you?
are you, when they get to you, are you going to stand up?
are you going to have God's word in your heart when they take away your Bible and tell you that it's a hateful book?
I already took it out of the schools
fifty years ago
nobody cared and then people send their kids to that school
or the Bible's not even welcome, if the Bible's not welcome, my kids aren't welcome
if the Bible's not welcome, I'm not welcome
churches today have public school ministries where they go into public schools and have a ministry
where they're not allowed to mention the name of Jesus
no thanks, I'll stick with door to door soul wedding
I don't need responsibility USA ministry
to go in and teach kids to be saved and not to drink and not to smoke
drink and smoke, don't drink, don't smoke, go to hell
no, I'd rather that you drink and smoke and get saved and go to heaven
I'm not going to walk into school and not mention the name of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the name that's above all names
that name will be on my lips at all times
it's not just the creator, it's not just the supreme being
it's the Lord Jesus Christ, God almighty, the son of the living God
if he's not welcome, I'm not welcome
and I don't want to go support some healthcare system that believes that there's no God
that's what the doctor believes, that God does not exist
that you're an animal
look, that hospital down there
whatever, what's it called, St. Luke's
you know, it's a veterinary clinic, my friend
it is
veterinary reform is what the healthcare reform ought to be called
that's what they believe
they're treating animals, you know
and so they have to hurt us like animals
and we have to all get our shots and we get our feeding trough
and we gotta get our nap time
and we're put in a cage like an animal
we have to be imprisoned
because, you know, God forbid we'd have any freedom, we wouldn't know what to do
it'd be like a calf looking at a new gate, it'd be like a cow that doesn't have a barbed wire fence
we wouldn't know what to do, we'd be like sheep having no... I'm a human being, I'm created in the image of God
you make my own decisions, thank you
and I don't want to be treated like an animal, and I don't want to go to a doctor who thinks I'm an animal
he's a veterinarian
imagine going to a veterinarian
you know, that's what we ought to do if it's too expensive, the healthcare
just start going to the vet, because the vet's cheaper, isn't it?
how much does it cost to get surgery on your dog?
a thousand bucks?
two thousand bucks?
how much does it cost to get surgery on a human being?
twenty thousand, it's the same
same philosophy
it should be mammal, mammal
I'm a mammal, the dog's a mammal
there are dogs that are as big as I am
I've seen a dog weigh, you know, 175 pounds, and I weigh 170 pounds tonight, I lost some weight
you know why I lost some weight, by the way?
because I was working so hard, I've only eaten two meals a day for the last four days
because I was working 16, 18, 20 hour days every single day
and driving all night
that's why I only... have you noticed I lost some weight?
because I don't have time to eat, I'm too busy paying
for people to abort their children
that's why
you say, preach the bible
why preach the bible?
why preach the bible to you?
if you're not going to read the bible, and take the bible seriously, and obey the bible
and you're going to disobey things that the bible says, and not care what it says
why do I need to preach the bible? and the people right now
that do read the bible
that do believe what I'm saying
that do obey the word of God
they don't have a problem with what I'm preaching at all right now
and the people who do have a problem with it
are the ones that need to hear it the most
and if you want the bible, go home and read it for a change
if you don't like this kind of preaching, because you obviously have never read the book of Jeremiah
or the book of Psalms
because they were too long
you know, I know you digested Philemon no problem
but the two most negative books in the bible are Jeremiah and Psalms
Psalms damns more people to hell than any other book in the bible
it's the truth
now let's get back into our regular scheduled broadcast
this program was interrupted
for a political statement from Pastor Anderson
let's get back to our regular scheduled broadcast
God, it's a good night and we love you
and we're glad you're here
turn in your bible if you would to
Isaiah, chapter fourteen
I want to show you about the bottomless pit
because he said
let us swallow them up alive as the grave and whole as those that go down into the pit
in Psalm twenty-eight where we started tonight, he said I don't want to be like those that go down into the pit
and by the way
quit being like people that go down into the pit
quit dressing like people that are going down into the pit
quit listening to the music of people who are going down into the pit
quit talking and acting like people that are going down into the pit
and I'm preaching Psalms again, I'm back in chapter twenty-eight
I'm back on track, okay, I'm with it
hey, your heroes are going into the pit
get some heroes that are going to heaven
and quit dressing like all these bunch of worldly devils
okay, the pit though
what is the pit? It's hell, let me prove it to you
look at Isaiah fourteen verse fifteen
it says
yet thou shalt be brought down to hell
to the sides of the pit
you see it's one and the same
the comma there is restated
you go right down to hell, comma, let me tell you what that is
the sides of the pit
so, the pit is hell, I have a whole page of verses on that
but just take my word for it
or read Ezekiel
twenty-eight, thirty-one, and thirty-two
it says that you go down into the pit
you're going down into hell, the bottomless pit
and so forth, hell is a pit
hell is down
the bible says that hell is in the lower parts of the earth
and
Ezekiel thirty and thirty-one calls it the nether parts of the earth
nether is another word for lower
it means that
down in the depths of the earth, in the center of the earth
is a physical, real
place called hell
it's hot, there's fire there
even the
veterinarian believes that
with eighty years of scientific training at a university, even the vet believes that
because he believes that the earth is filled with
a liquid, molten substance in the middle that's really, really hot, but hell is a pigment of our imagination
but there is this really hot place in the center of the earth
and it's burning hot
and it's thousands of degrees Fahrenheit, and they don't know what it is, and it's liquid
and it's
after one to ten miles thickness of crust, it's nothing but molten fire and lava and
brimstone and sulfur
but hell is not real
you know, the veterinarian
magma, mantle, core is all real, well the bible says that that's where hell is, says that it's in the heart of the earth
have you ever eaten an artichoke heart?
where is the artichoke heart found? in the center
that's where the heart of the earth is, Jesus said as Noah was
not Noah, Jonah
Jonah was three days and three nights
in the whale's belly
so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth
that's why he said this may keep the resurrection of Christ, Acts 2.31, that his soul is not left in hell
neither did his flesh see corruption
and so the pit, hell
nether part of the earth, bottomless pit
are all one and the same, it's talking about hell
he said I don't want you to be silent to me
lest if I'll be silent to me I become like them that go down into the pit
look at Psalm 28 verse 2
don't worry the other verse won't take this long
hear the voice of my supplications when I cry unto thee
when I lift up my hands
toward thy holy oracle
draw me not away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity which speak peace
to their neighbors
but mischief is in their heart
don't be fooled by what people say
let me give you some advice here based on verse 3
look at what people do not what they say
because a lot of times there's a big difference between what people say
and what they do, remember what Jesus said about the Pharisees
he said they're hypocrites for they say
and do not
so the Pharisees were saying a lot of the right things
they preached a lot of the rules of the Old Testament and those were God's rules
he said woman do you scribe as a Pharisee's hypocrite
for you pay tithe of mint, anise and cumin
but he said you've omitted the weightier matters of the law
uh... what was it, mercy, grace, truth
something like that, I forget the list off the top of my head
he said these I get to have done
and I believe the other I've done
he said I'm glad
that you pay your tithe, he said I'm glad that you follow the rules, I'm glad that you preach the law
and he said all things whatsoever they bid you observe
that observe and do, but do not after their works
he said they say it, do not
you see you've got to look at what people do
not what they say, there are a lot of people that talk the talk
that doesn't mean that they necessarily walk the walk
he says here people say a lot of the right things
peace is in their heart
and they speak peace to their neighbors but mischief
is in
their hearts
and he says this give them according to their deeds and according to the weakness of their endeavors
does that sound like he's asking God to forgive these people? No
give them after the work of their hands, render to them their dessert and he's not talking about an ice cream cone
because their dessert means that which they deserve
because they regard not the works of the Lord nor the operation of his hands
he shall destroy them and not build them up, blessed be the Lord because he has heard the voice of my supplication
the Lord is my strength and my shield
my heart trusted in him
and I am helped
therefore my heart greatly rejoices
and with my song
will I praise him
David here had some wicked people and this is kind of a lot of the songs, he had a lot of wicked people attacking him
a lot of people trying to
to harm him and he's crying out to God, he's lifting up his hands toward God's oracle
he's saying answer my prayer, be not silent to me, protect me from these people
listen to me
but in the midst of it all he said the Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusted in him
and I am helped
God is not going to let you down
God will protect you, God will take care of you, he said therefore my heart greatly rejoices
and with my song will I praise him
that ought to be the song of our heart by the way
on a daily basis, songs of praise to God
honestly, every single day
we should be praising God
if God's done great things for you
who here
can say God has done great things for me
you're saved
and you know, none of us deserves to be saved
and yet we're saved
and not only that
we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ
we will inherit the kingdom with them
we have a mansion waiting for us in heaven
if you're reading the King James
if you read the NIV you're going to get there and you have a room
in the NIV it says in my father's house are many rooms
you know, you get a key, it's like Motel 6, you scan the little card
and you go in the room
and that's where you stay, you know, if you're lucky you'll get two beds and wifi
but basically, you know, in my father's house are many rooms
God promises us a mansion, in my father's house are many mansions
hey, all of our sins are blotted out
as far as the east is from the west, God has separated us from our sins
while we're speaking of the pit
listen to this verse on the pit
if I can find it, give me one second here
it's in my notes here, it's a great verse
listen to this, Isaiah 38 17, you don't have to turn there
behold for peace I have great bitterness
but thou hast in love to my soul
delivered it from the pit of corruption
and listen to this, how did he do it?
how did he deliver us from that pit of corruption? Hell
for thou hast cast
all my sins behind thy back
what a blessing that our sins are cast behind his back
I thank God that as far as the east is from the west, so far God has separated us from our sins
I thank God that in Hebrews 10 17 he said their sins and iniquities will I remember no more
they're gone
our sins are blotted out
they are not even remembered before God
thank God for the forgiveness that we have, thank God for the salvation that we have
the home in heaven that we have
the holy spirit that we have
that walks with us and talks with us and guides us and comforts us
when we go to bed alone
he's with us
when we wake up he'll talk with us the bible says
we never have to be alone, we never go through life alone
he said be content with such things as you have
for he has said I'll never leave thee nor forsake thee
let your conversation be without covetousness
don't wish that you had something that you don't have
it should be enough
that God said I'll never leave thee nor forsake thee
that should be enough
man will leave you and forsake you, he'll let you down
but not Jesus, he'll always be there, when my father and mother forsake me
then the Lord will take me up, remember last week, Psalm 27
you see God is not going to let you down
he'll be there for you
he will always
stand up for you and protect you and love you and all you think
and that's something to sing about
what does the world have to sing about, do you ever stop and listen to the lyrics of the world song
you know I don't listen to all this rock and roll and pop music that's on the radio obviously
but you know people have worked with me
Brad's wearing a work shirt, you know he's worked with me
somebody will be working in one of these stores
that we work in, one of these department stores or drug stores, we're doing the fire alarm
you know I pretty much just tune out the music
after a while you just kind of tune it out
but every once in a while I'll be working with somebody like Brad or somebody else
all of a sudden I'll just start to hear the music
and I'll start to listen to what it's saying
and I don't know if I've ever said this to you, but sometimes I'll just look, I said this to Scott like two days ago
is this just the stupidest thing you've ever heard?
you know we're like is this guy a queer or what?
you know I'll just be like what is this song about, listen to what it's saying
you know that the lyrics are stupid
think about it
think about the world song, you know I can't think of any right now thank god
I'm trying to think of a stupid song
somebody help me out
you know when you listen to the lyrics it's just this
mindless
chant of just stuff like someone
you know and then you listen to most of the music you can't quite understand exactly what they're saying
so you get the CD and you're like oh the lyrics
you know what I'm talking about the big fold out sleeve
and you get the lyrics and you start reading them and it's hard to make heads or tails of them sometimes
like one time I heard this song and I thought I might know what it was about and I opened the lyrics and I was like
I don't think this song is about anything
anybody who has listened to rock music knows that I'm telling the truth
thank god that every song I sing has something to sing about
I open this song book and sing songs about the blood and salvation and Jesus Christ and going to heaven
you know the second coming and Christ
I'm glad I have something to sing about
you know because I'm thankful to god and when I come to church and sing
I sing from my heart
I'm not going through the motions
and throughout the week I sing from my heart because I'm thankful to god
because I'm happy about being saved
because I'm happy about having forgiveness of sin
I mean how many times I've sung you as well with my soul with a tear in the eye
and I think my sin oh the bliss of this glorious thought
my sin not in part but the whole
is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
praise the lord
praise the lord oh my soul
how many times have I said those Satan's should bump it and trials should come
let this blessed assurance control
that Christ has regarded my helpless sustainment and shed his own blood from my soul
it is well with my soul
and you know let the heathen rage and the people imagine the vain thing
let our controller and Obama and Pelosi and these filthy animals that run our country
yes I said that
they treat us like animals I'm gonna call them the brute beast that god calls them
you know they think I'm an animal they think I'm their cattle
You know, what do you want me to do today, where do you want me to go, where do I sign
on the dotted line?
I was driving through California and saw a bunch of cows with an electronic barcode thing
on their eardrum.
Who knows what I'm talking about?
Pretty soon we're going to have one on our eardrum because we're just cattle to them.
Pretty soon we're going to have an electric fence that we keep running into when we get
into unauthorized territory, you know, which is like 90-some percent of the state of Arizona
is like state land or federal land.
It's true.
I looked at a map of Arizona one time and the private property was like these thin little
lines and there's just all this public land.
Oh great, does that mean I can go camp there?
Public, right?
Can I go camp?
Can I sleep on the public land?
Can I pick a fruit off a tree and eat it?
Can I kill an animal and roast it over the fire and eat it?
What does that have to do with Psalm 28?
I need to stay focused tonight.
Alright.
God's going to protect us, God's our shield, and man do we need a shield with all the junk
that's coming at us right now.
You better have a shield.
If you don't have a shield, I don't know what you do with all the smut that you see when
you drive down the road.
It's a good thing that I have a shield.
You know, when I walk into the grocery store I've got my shield up.
When I go down the road I've got a shield up.
When I drive down University Drive trying to go buy alarm parts and I drive by 20 strip
clubs, I put up my shield.
Because you know what I do whenever I see these images being thrown at me and the devil
tries to hurl these darts at me and tries to tempt me with the flesh and the lust of
the eyes, I put up my shield.
Because the Bible says every word of God is pure.
He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.
God's word is the shield.
The shield of faith and faith cometh by hearing God's word.
Faith is placed in God's word.
I put up that shield and I always say this, whenever I see the dirty magazine, and boy
it's often, I say this, I say, I will send no wicked thing before mine eyes.
I hate the work of them that turn aside.
It shall not cleave to me.
That's what I quote every time.
I say, I will send no wicked thing before mine eyes.
I hate, oh you're so hateful, I hate the work of them that turn aside.
It shall not cleave to me.
Because I say, man, I don't want this stuff to cleave with me.
I don't want these images to cleave to me and I walk away and they're flashing before
my mind.
I'm not going to fill my mind with this stuff.
It's not going to cleave to me.
I don't want it to cleave to me.
God's word is a shield.
The word of the Lord is a strong tower.
The righteous running into it and is safe, the Bible says.
Let God's word shield you from the assault.
And you know, at the same time, I'm glad that I had a chance to get that off my chest
and breathe a little fire about this Obama veterinary plan.
I'm glad I got to rant and rave about that a little bit and put it in your pipe and smoke
it.
But I'll say this, I'm not all doom and gloom about it because I'm on the winning side.
I'm angry about it.
I'm upset about it.
I'm going to pray the same kind of death wish upon these people as David prayed upon them
in his day because I'm a man of God like David was a man of God.
Why don't you learn how to be one sometime?
And basically, I'm going to do the same thing and say the same thing.
But I'm not all doom and gloom about it because I'm on the winning side.
God's my shield.
God's my protector.
And when this world is dust, I'll still be ruling and reigning with Christ.
And if you're saved, so will you.
We shall reign forever and ever, the Bible says.
Forever.
You say a thousand year reign.
Nope.
In Revelation 22, after the millennium, he says reign forever.
Reign forever.
Of his kingdom, it says in the book of Daniel, there shall be no end.
If you're on the winning side, and long after Obama is burning in hell,
and when he's been there 10,000 years, bright shining as the sun,
you know, he's no less days to burn in hell,
we will still be praising God in heaven.
We're on the winning side.
Fear not them which kill the body and are not able to kill the soul,
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
What can they really do from me at the end of the day?
What are they going to take from me?
I wanted to reach out and pull out my wallet.
It's not in my pocket, it's at home.
But if I had my wallet in my pocket right now,
I would have pulled it out and just showed you that there's nothing in it.
No money.
Who has a wallet with some money?
Give me your wallet.
Do you have any money in it?
Oh, you're married.
I need somebody to stay up.
Married people don't have any money in their wallet.
Yeah, here we go, the single guys.
Man, this thing's packed with cash.
This is what I need.
What are they going to take from me?
A picture of Andrew Jackson?
And thank God for Andrew Jackson, by the way.
Thank the Lord for Andrew Jackson.
It's so perverted to put his face on a Federal Reserve note.
When he was the man who fought against the central bank
more than any other president,
and they put him on Federal Reserve notes.
I'm sorry, Andrew Jackson, that we let you down in this country.
And what are they going to take from me?
Pieces of paper?
Or worse yet, what are they going to take from me?
My credit card, all the imaginary money that I spend every day,
little white pieces of paper that I signed that say,
I promise to pay this someday.
It's funny because I had a credit card for years.
For years I had a credit card and I signed it and signed it and signed it.
And one day I'm like, what am I signing?
Has anybody ever read the receipt that you sign, what it says?
I mean, I signed like 200 of them before I read it.
You know how to sign it?
I picked it up and read it.
It said, I promise to pay this amount.
So now every time I go, whenever I go to a store and sign it,
I always say, I promise.
I always say it out loud while I sign it.
I say, I promise to pay this someday.
What can they do?
Take away our money.
Take away all the fictitious pieces of paper and all the things we have.
You know what they can't take from me?
The Bible.
Because even if they took the Bible out of my hand,
I've got enough of it committed to memory to where I could quote it
and quote it and quote it for hour upon hour upon hour,
whole books of the Bible.
I've got the Word of God in my heart.
It's always with me.
No one can take it away from me.
What can they do?
Destroy my body?
Maim the body?
I'll get a new body.
You know, everybody's body has imperfections and ailments.
You know, my right middle finger is messed up.
You know, I can't make a fist with my right hand.
That one day I'll have a brand new, go ahead, just finish me off.
My finger's no good and that's the whole thing.
One day I'll get a brand new body.
And thank God, no sickness, no pain.
That's something to be thankful for.
That's something to praise God about.
And so, yes, we're in heaviness for a season.
But, yeah, we rejoice with joy and speak full of great glory.
See, you've got to have the balance in your life of having anger and hate
toward the abomination that runs our president,
abomination that runs our country,
and the balance of just rejoicing in Jesus Christ and saying,
you know what, we're saved.
It's going to come upon their own head.
Would you trade places with these people,
flying around in Air Force One, eating their lobster and champagne?
I wouldn't trade places with them for one second
because this life is a vapor that appears for a little time
and then vanishes away.
I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God
than to flourish in the tents of the wicked.
I would rather be on the winning side.
I'd rather suffer every day for the rest of my life
and never have enough food to eat
and be cold every day and not properly clothed
and to go to Heaven and reign with Jesus
than to go to Hell.
So I wouldn't trade places with them for one second.
Plus, at least I have some respect for myself.
You know what I mean?
What's that worth?
What's it worth to wake up in the morning and say,
I'm doing the right thing.
I'm not perfect.
I'm a sinner just like you are.
And there are times when I sin
and have to weep before God and say that I'm sorry.
And I'm sure that I sin on a daily basis
because the thought of foolishness is sin, the Bible says.
Even just a foolish thought is a sin.
But I'm going to tell you something.
Guilt.
Guilt is a terrible thing.
I'd rather live with hunger than guilt.
I'd rather live with famine and cold and nakedness than guilt
because there's something about having a clear conscience
when you go to bed at night
and confess your sins to God and say I'm doing right.
That is better than all the food, all the comfort, everything,
having a clear conscience before God and man.
That's what Paul said.
He said, I exercise myself always to have a conscience,
a void of offense toward God and man.
And you can have that clear conscience tonight, by the way,
no matter who you are.
You go to bed tonight and you get on your knees
and you say sorry to God for the sins that you've been involved in
and for the sins you've committed.
And if you don't know what they are, I'll help you.
I'll help you. I'll tell you what they are.
It's all the junk that you watch on TV.
That's part of it.
It's any alcohol that you drink.
That's another place to start.
It's all the junk that you fill your mind with.
It's all the blasphemy that could come out of your mouth.
Hopefully God forbid it would come out of the mouth of anybody in this church.
It's all your worldliness and ungodly friends.
That's what it is.
Get on your knees and just confess it to God and say,
God, I want to do what's right. Help me to do what's right.
Help me to do better.
Fill me with the Spirit, God.
I don't want to walk in the flesh. I want to put on the new man.
In Jesus' name, amen.
You go to bed with a clear conscience and you can sleep like a baby no matter what you do.
You don't know what I've done.
Jesus paid it all.
You can have a clear conscience through Christ,
but those who will not admit that they've sinned and those who persist in their sin,
they live with guilt even if they're saved.
They live in guilt. Get rid of the guilt.
But you can't get rid of the guilt until you admit you've been wrong and turn from it.
Confess it and forsake it.
And wake up tomorrow morning with a clear conscience.
What's that word?
Do you think that Obama has a clear conscience?
Do you think Pelosi has a clear conscience?
Do you think George W. Bush has a clear conscience?
Do you think John McCain has a clear conscience?
These people know that they're one heartbeat away from hell.
They're one heartbeat from roasting in hell.
They know that they're wicked. They know what they've done.
They're not happy.
They're evil.
They're already being destroyed.
They're going to be destroyed and they want to destroy as many as they can.
They're just like Satan. They're like the devil.
They're like a human version of Satan just on a TikTok.
Does anybody have a doubt here that Satan is going to spend eternity in hell eventually?
There's no doubt about it. I'm pretty sure that he understands that.
The Bible says he's wiser than Daniel.
I'm sure he understands the fact that he's doomed.
And so do they. So do the architects of evil in our country
and the people behind the Hollywood faces that are really controlling Obama and these people
that are really behind the scenes.
They don't have a clear conscience.
I'm going to leave places with them for one second.
I'd rather pray and fast than to feast with them. Period.
We're on the winning side.
Let your songs be praises to God.
Get the new song in your mouth even praised to our God.
Not the world song. Not the song of fools.
It's better to hear the rebuke of the wise than to listen to the song of fools the Bible says.
But he says this in verse number 7.
Verse 8.
Now I preached on Sunday morning about prayer.
And I hope that sunk in. I hope you did some praying since then.
But maybe you did some extra prayer or thought more about prayer
because I hope that the word of God that I preached in that sermon
stirred you up a little bit about prayer and motivated you to pray a little bit.
You say, Pastor Anderson, teach us to pray.
Remember when they said that to Jesus?
Teach us to pray as John taught us to say.
This is how to pray right here.
This is it right here in the book of Psalms.
You want to know how to read Psalms? Here's a great prayer.
Save thy people and bless thine inheritance.
Feed them also and lift them up forever.
Pray for God's people.
Pray for your fellow church member and your brother and sister in Christ
that God will feed them, that God will lift them up,
that God will save us from the destruction that's coming.
Pray. I've prayed many times.
And by the way, I don't pray for America.
Did you hear me? I stopped praying for America
because I told somebody, I explained to somebody,
I said, I have a line that if America crosses this line,
I will pray not for God to bless America ever again
because it's too wicked.
It's not right for me to pray for God to bless wickedness.
It's just wrong. And that's a whole other sermon.
But there's plenty of scripts on that where he said,
pray not for this people.
And he explained all the wicked things there.
And I told my good friend, the same guy that marched around the neighborhood
seven times and everything, but he didn't blow a trumpet.
Remember that story from Saturday morning?
That same friend, I told him, I said,
when America gets to this certain point,
and that's a whole other sermon.
I don't want to confuse the sermon by bringing up what it was that I brought up
without preaching to the other sermons.
I said, when America gets to this certain point,
Brother Reggie, I said,
I will no longer pray for God to bless America.
I will pray for God to destroy America.
And America crossed that line a long time ago.
So I don't pray for God to bless America.
But you know what I pray?
I pray that God's people will be saved.
That's what I pray.
I pray, I say, oh God,
would you please keep me and my family safe?
Would you keep your people?
I say, God, look down upon,
and this is what I pray. I'll be honest with you.
You know what?
You may not like me, and there's some people who don't like me,
and there's probably some people in this room that don't like me.
But let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something right now.
With me, what you see is what you get.
Okay?
Now, you know, go to some other church
and find the guy whose mouth is smoother than oil,
and that's not me.
And I've never claimed to be that.
You know?
I've never claimed to be Mr. Silver Tongue.
But let me explain something to you.
With me, I'm just real.
And you know what?
With me, I'm telling you the truth.
Okay?
This is what I pray.
Now, whether you like it or not or whatever,
I'm just telling you what I pray.
And you can believe me.
This is what I pray.
I pray that.
I was just praying this last few days.
I prayed, and I said,
God, just please look down upon everybody in this country
who's a soul-winning Christian, who loves you,
who's winning people to Christ,
who reads their Bible.
You know, just look down at the people that you see as righteous,
that are doing right.
Just like you looked down and saw Noah
and these other people that found grace here.
I just say, God, just protect us.
Just keep us safe when your judgment comes.
When you pour out your wrath, dear God,
don't destroy the righteous with the wicked.
That's what I pray.
I just pray, God, protect me.
God, I'm not part of this.
Protect me.
And I say, protect my wife.
Protect my children.
Protect the people in my church.
And I'll call the names of people in the church.
And I'll think about other churches
and other Christians across America.
I just say, God, and it's a scriptural prayer.
It's straight out of Psalm 28 and 9.
We just read it.
Save Thy people.
You know, please just protect your people.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation.
Thy name be ever praised, O Lord, make us free.
That's what songs were scriptural, by the way.
Protect your people from tribulation, God.
Let us escape, dear God.
Let us be saved.
Let us be and make us free.
You know, whenever I hear a song that says,
set us free, I know they're reading the NIV.
Every song in this hymnal, do you see the hymnal on my hand?
Every old song in this hymnal,
all the old hymns, they all say, make us free.
I mean, I can whisper to you a bunch of songs.
Thou hast made us free.
I mean, just on and on.
It's make us free, make us free,
because that's what the Bible says in the King James Version.
All these new songs, it's, you know, set me free,
why don't you be?
You know, when you walk in the church.
It's always like, and honestly,
whenever you're in these liberal churches,
it's Bill Gaither,
and all these modern Christian contemporary
and Southern gospel, it's always set me free,
set us free, set us free.
No, the Bible says you should know the truth,
and the truth shall make you.
That's how you can tell where the reading material's coming from
by the terminology.
See, we want to be free.
We want liberty.
We love America, what it used to be.
We don't love our government.
We don't.
Oh, you're like, really?
Oh, you just woke up.
Thanks for joining us.
No, we don't.
We don't support what our country's doing.
Because it's evil.
And you know, I don't care if people don't like that.
It's okay.
It doesn't matter.
It's true.
And so we need to get back to,
in our own personal lives,
holiness and righteousness and godliness.
It's too late for our country.
It's too late.
Don't say that there's hope for our country,
because there's not.
I'll prove it to you from the Bible.
There's been innocent blood shed in this country,
and it must be required at the hand of our nation.
It cannot be fixed.
The only way to solve it would be to put to death
everyone who shed the innocent blood,
and that will never happen.
That's what the Bible says.
The only way that the land can be cleansed of innocent blood
is to put to death and shed the blood of all those who...
You know, Garrett Priest has said one sermon on this
not too long ago.
He was talking about the same thing.
That's how the land is cleansed from innocent blood.
As soon as every abortion doctor and all these congressmen
and all these different people are all put to death,
and all the people who participate in any way
which is like millions and millions of people,
then it'll be...
It's not going to happen.
God's going to do it, and it's going to be ugly.
It's too late, but you know what?
It's not too late for me and you.
In the world, you shall have tribulation,
but be of good cheer.
I've overcome the world.
You see, we can be spared.
We may have to go through suffering.
We may go through hard times.
Everybody's going through a famine here pretty soon,
you know?
Whatever is going to be the cause of all this.
And in the Bible, God's people went through famines,
but you know what?
He always seemed to take care of them.
He kept them alive.
I've never seen the righteous forsaken
nor his seed baking bread, the Bible says.
And so I believe that God's going to take care of me.
But woe, woe, woe unto this nation,
and woe unto those that are a part of it
and part of the problem and that participate in it.
I will not participate in it.
I will not vote for any of these people
that are destroying our country.
I won't do it.
I will not empower them.
I will not stand for them.
I will not promote them.
I will not be a part of it in any way, shape, or form.
I want to just keep my hands clean of it.
You know, it's to the point where pretty soon,
it's going to be impossible.
Are you listening to me?
It's going to be impossible to do the right thing
in this country and be within the law.
It's true.
That's how Germany is right now.
If you live in Germany,
your kids will be taken to the public school at gunpoint.
Not, it might happen.
It happens.
It's in the news all the time.
Even in America.
Who's seen stuff like that in the news about Germany?
People being, you know,
home school families being taken at gunpoint?
Children being abducted from their parents and so on?
You can't do what's right in Germany.
You can't do it.
You want to have a bunch of kids like the Bible says?
Good luck.
You want to raise them right?
You want to teach them the things of God?
No.
It's all against the law, doing all the right things.
And you know what?
That's when God's people are in a bad place.
When it's illegal to do the right thing.
Because then they have a choice to make.
They can either sin against God, you know,
and for example, it's illegal to spank your children in Germany.
Same thing.
And so, you know, what are you going to do?
You're going to spank your children.
People do go to jail.
They do get arrested in Germany.
It's not just a family.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to spank a child?
And maybe you might go to jail.
You might have your children taken away.
You might be incarcerated, fined, whatever.
And you know what?
That's why freedom is so important.
People tell me,
I just don't care about what's happening in the world.
I just don't care about politics.
You call it what you want.
Call it politics.
It's called our life.
It's where we live.
It's our country.
It's us.
It's our future.
It's our children's future.
That's what it is.
It's not politics.
It's our life.
It's our money that we use to feed ourselves.
Has anybody ever seen me driving a fancy car or anything?
I mean, you know, has anybody seen me out blowing money?
No.
I'm just trying to live my life, okay?
I'm not trying to be wealthy.
I don't want to be rich.
I'm just trying to live my life here, you know.
My life is being hindered.
My life is being encroached upon
when I'm being forced to do things that I don't believe in.
But the bottom line is this.
Nobody can truly take away my freedom
because Jesus Christ has made me free.
And the Bible says that if you're a servant in the flesh,
you're free in Christ.
And if you're free in the flesh,
He said you're Christ's servant.
And let me tell you something.
Nobody can make me do something that I don't want to do.
Okay?
That nobody can make me deny what I believe.
Nobody can make me take back any of the things
that I've said across this pulpit,
and they never will.
They can intimidate me and threaten me
and put out a warrant for my arrest
and whatever they want.
They cannot make me take back the things that I've said,
and I will not take them back.
And nobody can make me participate in something
that I don't believe in,
and nobody can make me go down to the doctor
and get a bunch of injections that I don't believe in
and have my children injected with things
that I don't believe in.
Nobody can make me do it.
And they can come down with a shotgun,
but they can't make me do it.
All they can do is just pull the trigger.
And let me tell you something.
This is where we're getting in this country.
You know, you need to get a history book
and read about the Soviet Union.
Read about Nazi Germany.
Read about what's happened all throughout the world.
It's happening right now in Communist China.
It's happening in other places across the world.
Just in Gilbert, Arizona.
How far away is Gilbert from here?
There's Dave.
Twenty minutes.
Yeah.
This was less than a mile from Brother Dave's house.
The church was shut down from having a Bible study in a house.
Twenty minutes from here.
I mean, they gave the intersection.
That's your intersection, Brother Dave.
What, Gilbert and Ray Road?
That's what they said?
Where are you at?
Igli and Ray.
So what's that, a mile away?
Yeah, a couple months.
Gilbert and Ray Road, they said,
a church is not allowed to have a home Bible study.
They had like thirteen people studying the Bible in the house.
They said it's illegal in Gilbert, Arizona.
Did you hear that?
They said it was illegal.
They said you're not allowed to have a fellowship activity.
No church fellowship activity.
I mean, you can't have an ice cream social at your house.
You can have a beer party.
You can watch the Super Bowl.
You can eat potato chips and beer duds
and watch Obama be inaugurated.
But you can't have a Bible study.
You can't have a church ice cream fellowship.
You can't have a leadership meeting, they said.
You can't have the leadership of your church get together
and have a meeting about the future of the church
in a home in Gilbert, Arizona.
That's the law.
And not only the law, it was enforced.
This Oasis Church, or whatever it was called,
was forced out, fined,
and they were forced to pay money to rent a space
to have their Bible studies
because they're not allowed to do it in the home anymore.
Are we living in Communist China?
Isn't that what happens in China?
They tell people they can't meet in their house
and read the Bible together?
That's in Phoenix now.
I wish some young man would just go start a church
in Gilbert, Arizona in his house.
That's what I wish would happen.
I wish some married man would start a church
in Gilbert, Arizona in his house
and tell them to go drop dead.
That's what I thought of when I heard that story.
That's where we're at now.
You have to have a permit to have church, they said.
I don't need anybody's permission to have church
except Jesus.
You think I need permission to be here right now?
Oh, thank you for letting me preach.
And then they'll say, well, you can't have a permit
because you're a hate group.
Or you can't have a permit.
That's what they'll say.
You can't have a permit.
Did you have an intent B to go door to door solely
and you have to have a permit?
Ask me if I have a permit.
That's a good one.
Probably when you get that permit,
you probably submit what you're going to be handing out
for approval.
Sure they'll love the invitation to our church.
They'll love that doctrinal statement.
You literally.
It's true.
In Tempe, the city ordinance says that it is illegal
for us to knock on somebody's door
or to put a church invitation on their door.
Ask me if I care.
Because there's a bigger law.
You say obey the law.
Yes, I will.
First Amendment.
Congress shall make no law
that encroaches or encroaches upon the freedom of religion,
that abridges the freedom of religion,
the exercise of religion,
and the state of Arizona has a similar provision
in the Arizona Constitution.
Those things all protect me and my rights as an American.
I will go soul winning.
I will have church.
And we started the church in our house.
And if I did start another church,
I'd start it again in the house.
Because that's what the Bible says.
Ananias and Sapphira had the church.
Or not Ananias and Sapphira.
Good night.
They were the ones who started the house.
Who were those other people?
The good ones.
Priscilla and Aquila.
They had church in their house.
Philemon had church in their house.
Five times in the Bible they had church in the house.
But they didn't live in Gilbert, Arizona.
Gilbert, Arizona, if they would have been living there,
they would have had to go rent a little strip mall
to start the church.
I can see Paul writing to Philemon.
Philemon, I've heard how they made you go to that strip mall, brother.
He had to get a permit again.
I don't need permission to preach.
I don't need permission.
And hey, let me just say this.
My body, my choice.
Get your laws off my body.
I'm serious.
This is my body.
You're not going to inject my body with aborted fetuses.
They're called vaccines.
You're not going to inject my body with drugs.
No, this is my body, my choice.
And if you're going to inject me with some,
you're going to have to strap me down and do it.
This is my body and my children's body
and my wife's body are sacred.
If something's going to be injected,
it's going to be because I said it's going to be injected,
not because the government said it's going to be injected.
Period.
Now let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer.
Father, we thank you so much for your word, dear God.
And Father, people may not like this kind of sermon.
Maybe they do.
It doesn't really matter.
I don't really care.
But Father, if this is the preaching
that we had across America,
maybe then we wouldn't be in the position that we're in
if people would stand up and say,
this is the line, this is where we say,
you're not going to cross this line.
And Father, I just pray that you would please keep us safe, dear God.
Answer our prayer.
Guide us, direct us, and shelter us from the storm that's coming, dear God.
And Father, I believe that you will do that.
I believe that, like Jeremiah, I'll be preserved.
But whether I am or not, dear God,
I still won't bow down to the image that Nebuchadnezzar has set up,
whether I'm delivered or not.
And so Father, I just pray that every single person here
would have the backbone to stand up for what's right,
because Father, we are living in perilous times.
We don't know what's going to happen.
We don't know what the day is going to bring forth.
Some bad things are coming, God,
and I know it, and you know it,
and it might not be today, but it's going to be tomorrow.
But Father, I pray that you would give every person here the strength
to stand firm for what they believe,
not to cave in, not to give in or water down.
And God, help us to be in church.
We need church more than ever right now,
a place to be with believers,
to be strengthened in what we believe, dear God.
Help us to be in church.
Help us to have the Word of God in our hearts memorized, dear God.
Help us to have the two-edged sword in our hand
and the high praises of God in our mouth.
Bless us, preserve us, keep us, dear God.
Hear us. Don't be silent to us.
We don't want to be like those that go to the pit, dear God.
Listen to us as we cry out for mercy from you, dear God.
We are not the problem.
We are not the ones who destroyed this country, God.
Let it come down upon their own heads, dear God,
but preserve us and keep your people safe.
We love you, and in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Alright, let's sing 143, Blessed Assurance 143.
Song number 143.
Let's sing it out, song number 143.
Let's sing out the first verse.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine.
Heir of salvation, purchase of God.
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story, this is my song.
Praising my Savior all the day long.
