Andrew and Friends and I'm just so glad that you're here hopefully you enjoyed that video I thought it was gonna be Charlie and Jill's music videos set to these beautiful sceneries but it was actually a praise and worship service from one of our meetings here so the people that you saw in the crowd weren't here we aren't violating anybody's instructions but we had praise and worship and praise God it was just awesome you know I'm gonna introduce my friends here in just a moment but let me say that I've got Kerry Pickett here with me and Kerry is the one that typically hosts our Tuesday night live Bible study and we are going to leave some time at the very end of this service for you to be able to respond to us and so maybe you could tell them how to do that how do they leave a question yeah so whatever you're watching on right now Facebook live whatever form you are watching on today just go down to that chat section and then if you have a question for doing pastor Dwayne Jesse John Andrew give a question for us just send it in there and then we're going to get to as many questions as we can at the end of the service and also let me say that you know a lot of people are staying at home a lot of churches have canceled their services and are doing it either by livestream or whatever inside just this last Thursday I think it was the Lord Jesus spoke to me I'm not a pastor but this would just be a great opportunity to get all of our people together to invite Jesse Dwayne and John to come together and just try and put a positive spin on this there's so much fear and negative things being done that we want to counter that and so that's the only purpose for this is just to get together to praise God to show that the kingdom of God has not closed that God is still God and that praise God we are going to come through this let me just mention some things real quickly we had my staff do some research and we now have two hundred thousand hours worth of free material on our website two hundred thousand and this is all free so that amounts to if you watch 24 hours a day you could go to my website and watch for 22 years 24 hours a day or if you want to just go eight hours a day that may be 68 years worth of material so while you're sitting at home and doing nothing praise God we got videos we've got movies our gospel truth dot TV is playing our God with this movie and of course we've got Jesse on there and Duane on there and we've got a lot of great ministers also this coming week we're just I'm trying to go through this real quickly but we are trying to counter all of this negative ISM and so we have a Monday Night Live cast that truth and Liberty does every Monday night we're gonna have lance wall now on tomorrow night and he will be talking about probably some of the political things he's an adviser to the president and he has a unique perspective on things on Tuesday I'm going to be ministering on Psalms 91 just specifically to counter the fear and the things that are being done that's on Tuesday night on Wednesday night we have Paul Milligan and Billy Eberhardt Paul Milligan was the CEO he just retired Billy Earhart as his replacement they're both multimillionaires and they are into the financial things and we're going to be talking about the financial ramifications and how you deal with that then on Thursday pastor Greg Moore who is the director of our Karis Bible College here locally in Colorado he's gonna be speaking to us he's gonna be speaking on how do you minister to your family children and non-believers specifically during this time and I think that'll be real timely and then on Friday we've got Ashley and karlie Tara des and they're the ones that saw their little daughter healed I forgot the name of it but it was incurable she had less than a week to live and now they had a healing ministry and I mean they see miracles happen all of the time so all of this is basically just to bless you and to provide some things that will counter all the negativism amen so thank you for joining us and I tell you it's gonna be a great time I'm gonna introduce each one of these individually but you know the first person I want to ask on is John Tesh and I've seen his list of accomplishments and it's multiple pages long I can't give him a good introduction I think the best thing I can say about John is that he and his wife Connie have become great great friends man I love them they are out pretty much in the secular market but he is being outspoken with his testimony about me and miraculously healed of cancer and I think it's great for us to put things into perspective that praise God coronavirus is nothing compared to the cancer that John has already overcome so John welcome to our faith over fear Sunday and we just thank you for being a part of this and share with us what Jesus has done for you Andrew thanks so much and if you want if if you want the short version of my bio it's all in caps and it's he's alive he's been on Entertainment Tonight for I think ten years he's world-famous he performs he's gonna be on I think Huckabee's deal tonight Martha McCallum tomorrow he's very well known probably you know him already well I'm a I made the mistake of saying yes to HarperCollins when they said would you write a book about your cancer journey and your crazy journey in life and and and that's why I'm on all these shows but it's it's it's been pretty incredible because people I mean I had said to the publisher I said you know what a terrible time in the middle of this crisis to release a memoir and my friend my baahar from there said not really because the name of the book is relentless and that's what we're all trying to do right now so the real that you know the the corner piece of that writing is is something that happened to me and my and my wife and my family back in 2015 and I think you know for a moment I'm not going to talk about about a virus but I'm let's talk about something that's equally if not if not more deadly and and I think you'll see a lot of a lot of metaphor a lot of analogy in this and how and how you can and we're all talk about this together right and how we can go after not only this this disease that is not of God but of Satan but also go after our minds which is you know equally as important so yeah I you know in 2015 things were were wonderfully remarkable for me and and and for my family and and I you know my Connie and I my wife and I Connie sellecca we were we were dealing with a sickness that came upon her her mom who was in her 80s at the time and so we were out of town and we were we were consumed by that so I was a little late and going after going to get my general practitioner my doctor just for the the normal blood tests and stuff and so about six months later and uh I showed up for that and it was you know I got my blood tests everything seemed normal and then they did the you know the normal prostate exam and my doctor dr. Steve Galen said wow John there's something that's that's inconsistent with the way you know this this this normally is testing and I said well well what is he goes well let's just let's just do some other tests and let's go to the urologist let's let's get a sonogram maybe and so let's do some other tests let's check out some other things ended up being a very rare form of cancer a prostate cancer that didn't make any blood markers so those men who were watching and wives who loved their men there was no there was there was no PSA warning at all but it was just these it was like I said it was a rare form of this cancer and so it was like if those of you who have ever played football and you have ever been hit blindsided by by two takest at the same time that's how I felt how and how my wife felt and all of a sudden somebody had done the thing where you you pull the you pull the tablecloth out of a table and and and it's just my whole life changed in a minute and I talk about this in the in the book where and Johnny where were you with the Lord at that time your already born again yes yes absolutely and and and that's important to note too because I grew up in the Methodist Church my dad ran the church my mom was involved in the Women's Auxiliary and and I got to I got to college and like a lot of college students what happened was I saw I drifted right and and not until I met met Connie in 1991 and she was attending a messianic church for people who don't know it's the Jews and Christians together worshiping together was it was my faith renewed and so yes I had had faith in God and but I was at a place there you know when we were in this at this challenge where we had the biopsy and we got all these tests where it was you know after the biopsy the doctor who did that by ups he said to me and Connie said you know you should probably get your affairs in order and and they don't want to give you a time period but that feeling when we were pushing it ended up being like 18 months to two years - so there was no chance of you recovering in the natural no in fact I became I became a cancer patient and I acted like it I I acted with fear only and so you know immediately called the business manager to find out what said what was going on with the insurance I wanted to find out we were I was doing a daily radio show you know five hours a day wanted to know who was gonna replace me I started describing myself as a cancer patient and then we you know went through what everybody else it goes through you know during that period of time where I thought we had a surgery at Johns Hopkins to remove the prostate and then another surgery its or biopsy and at Northwestern University and then when the cancer kept returning ended up its jaw at MD Anderson with an oncologist and then the usual treatments chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy and you know and and all the rest of that stuff but you know looking back and I did this one I was writing the book here when you look back and I was connecting the dots and figuring out trying to write about that time I realized Andrew that I got cancer at 63 years old the same year in my life same year in my dad's life almost to the month when he got cancer and died so when I look back and connected the dots on one on what happened and what I was thinking during that period of time I realized that that I was worried about and I had a litter ID to this day I believe that I had manifested that cancer in my body now when we were in the middle of this fight from 2015 2016 2017 a miraculous thing happened for us and it came in the form of a CD that we were we were handed it was one of actually one of your CDs from from Karis Bible and it was a friend of ours named named cha-cha sand of all and we were at another church we were Jack you know jack hips you're a jack hips Calvary Chapel and after the service and I was you know I just like four or five days after chemo so I was still suffering she handed the CD to Connie and I and said hey and she was healed of cancer herself and she said hey you might find this interesting you know you should know that the voice on here is a little wonky you might you might enjoy this right and so I had been had ever since people had found out that I was battling cancer i pamphlets were given to me and websites and books and cds and everything and I was like oh please another CD and so we got in the car we had an hour-long ride home and and Connie grabs the crabs to see if just give me that and she throws it in the and then the CD player in the car and that it's actually a very very funny chapter in the in the book which is the title of the book tell of a chapter is how dumb can you be and still breathe which is it for those of you who don't know Andrew that is that's sort of a battle cry a postive right out of the scriptures it must be you know my my people perish for a lack of knowledge and so we're listening to Andrew and sure enough you know I won't use the Gomer Pyle joke oops I just did here's this guy with it you know with a really strong southern accent and I turn to Connie I said oh I feel like I'm home my whole family was something up from the South but all of a sudden this stuff was coming out out of the CD was things I had never heard before and the first thing that landed on me was the scripture mark 11:23 and of course you know that's that's you know whoever says to this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart but the leaves and what he says will be done she'll have whatever he says and I had you know as a kid I'm sure I had stumbled over that that in Scripture but I had never really had never read it never heard it taught that way and then he's teaching you know proverbs 18:21 death and life from the power of the tongue and he's talking about you there's a better way to pray you know you God wants you well God's nature is for you to be well when Jesus went to the cross and this was the thing that slayed me when Jesus went to the cross said Andrew he took not only our sins but he took our griefs and sorrows our sicknesses and like wait a second so Jesus took our art our sicknesses and then it suddenly dawned on me that the way I had been taught or at least the way I was believing was I was pretty much just killing myself and so when by the time we got home we got through the first of the CD of like three of them in this in this collection Connie's dried on the interview internet we got to find one of these meetings to go to so we ended up in a meeting with you and ruined that in Riverside I believe it was Cali California and the teaching continued and but I but I thought wow how did I how did I miss this and and you must encounter people like that all the time still to this day right oh absolutely and you know John one of the things that you're saying about death and life are in the power of the tongue so many people feel powerless they're scared what can I do I can't do anything against this right here in your mouth you have power and that's literally you spoke your way into healing yeah it's true it's true I mean and and that's you know and in these a lot of these interviews that I'm doing with with the secular media where everybody's looking for for an answer looking for a weapon and I said well the weapons right there and then in the Bible and we can talk about this more later but it's you know that's in life or in the the power and so we want to give the Wayne and Jesse time to minister here but let me just real quickly have you expand on this a little bit that when you first got hold of that teaching it made a difference and you got healed but you went through the doctors and you use and then it came back on you but when it came back the second time you had grown enough that you decided you were just gonna stand and believe God and this time you received it directly from God I have a feeling that you were involved in writing the cliff notes of all that all of the the courses that I took that I wasn't yeah that's really that's a great way to summarize it yes for sure but and it's important to note that yes if I hadn't had Connie and I had not had faith for the doctors early on I would have made it right so we had faith for the surgery they did an amazing job that guy's envy Anderson and also Johns Hopkins but yeah when also you go back for the scans right about every six months and things like that and and and a lymph node would pop up here then another one would pop up there and it got to the point where we were the the battleground was Connie and I and our son Gibb we were in a radiation oncology ward you know which and they're always underground so it looks like some sort of horrible a post-apocalyptic film and and so the doctor was telling us that I needed to go through fifty seven treatments of my pelvis which is where the which is of course where the cancer had originated in a like a six week period and you you lose this function and that function and this function and at that moment you know remember that Connie and I had been through you know maybe 60 70 hours of teaching or more on the better way to pray and at that moment we just shared we just heard a look a glance and and she raised an eyebrow I raised an eyebrow and at that moment faith was born and Andrew I was not only healed of of cancer which blood tests later proved but I was also here too healed of arthritis I had terrible arthritis in my and my ankles because of breaking my right ankle especially over and over again over the over the years and but every bit of pain every bit of sickness was gone from from my body and I believe it was because I only had that was my last choice I only had I I had to I burned I burned my ships right to quote her neck or nine Cortes and that was the moment when faith was born when I knew that I was healed forever man that is awesome that is awesome John could you quickly give do you have a website or something if people wanted to get the book I've read your book and it's just excellent if they want to get the website I think I actually think you told me that it was it was the it was the only book other than the Bible that you had read recently in the last year - only book I I appreciate it yeah it's John Tesh relentless calm you know I have to say Connie and I really wrote it together because there's so much of it in there just I mean it you know this and it's all about adversity through through victory and and sort of my process not only of getting through the battle with cancer but also getting out of a pup tent when I was homeless at 19 and a half years old so it's it's it's all in there but of course the most important part is that the biggest message there is the healing message so John man I appreciate you coming on and sharing that and I pray that this really is encouraging you that praise God if you can overcome cancer if you can overcome arthritis and again if you'd go to our website we've got testimonies video testimonies of people raised from the dead people raised up from wheelchairs multiple sclerosis every kind of disease you can imagine and we have I think 40 of those videos of miraculous healings which is quite a faith builder so again we just want to offer this to you as a benefit so that praise got it can counter all the negativism that we're here in today's I thought I found your book on Amazon there it is a better way to praise there and that's the one that you were listening to that store I tell you what if you've got any religion in you that will either bless you or make you mad one of the two but you will not be indifferent to that so pastor Dwayne sheriff he's on my board of directors Dwayne has been a friend for we've been in close friends I'd say for 10 years or something like that but actually I've never met another person on this planet that we are so alike it's like the way that God dealt with us we are so alike that we will share our opinions on things and and we say the exact same thing so I just think he's awesome so anyway Pastor Dwayne pastors one church located in fourteen different locations tens of thousands of people and I just really counted an honor to have him as one of my friends he's awesome so what can you start but it will encourage the people during this time well I want to thank John for that testimony that that is wonderful and that will be an encouragement to so many people you know we live in amazing times it's a it's an amazing time for us as the people of God to step up and to and to shine I believe that not only do we need to counter all this negativism there are so many positive things that are happening and God is moving and I've been believing we're on the on the edge of a of a revival for quite some time for decades and I see the Lord moving I see people's hearts being turned I want to encourage you regardless of where you're at in your walk with the Lord those of you that are tuning in or or logging on that the Word of God is precious Jesus is the Living Word the Scriptures are the written word and God has told us about these things in advance he's taught us how to prepare for them he's taught us how to walk through them and then how to be a blessing in the midst of them so let me encourage you to get in the Word of God to take this time and while we're being somewhat quarantined to a measure individually and corporately this is a time to build your relationship with the Lord and the dig deep into the Word of God and there's so much available for you absolutely as Andrew said free of cost a pattern you you blessed you made the statement that God you know as told us in the word how to prepare for this could you speak what is the word address about situations like it's just it is amazing when you see things like this and and and you know the scriptures at all just seeing the kingdom of God at work seeing God moving Jesus in Luke 21 verse 26 talked about that whole chapter talked about signs of the end times and Wars rumors of wars diseases plagues literally says plagues and it says men's hearts will fail them for fear and looking upon the things that are coming upon the earth verse 26 Luke 21:26 so Jesus thousands of years ago said look there's gonna be Clegg's there's gonna be earthquakes there's gonna be Wars there's gonna be some bad stuff in this life and in in John chapter 16 he even warned his disciples in this world you're gonna have tribulation and he didn't say have a breakdown a meltdown be filled with worry anxiety and care he said be of good cheer because he's overcome the world so men's hearts we're seeing what Jesus said come to pass before our very eyes I'm witnessing people's hearts failing them for fear and for looking upon the things that you're coming upon the earth well you have to reverse that that our hearts should as believers if you're a believer watching your heart can be enlarged it can be strengthened your inner man and spirit man can be strengthened with might and power in faith and with faith we're a people of faith not a people of fear we walk by faith second Corinthians 5:7 we're to walk by faith and not by sight we live by this thing called faith and we certainly don't need to be looking upon the things which are coming upon the earth this thing there is so much overreaction now again I want to be cautious here don't want people to think that we are under reacting to something that's serious but it is blown totally out of proportion people are overreacting people are looking at the wrong things if you just turn your eyes to the Lord I promise you that your heart will be strengthened I promise you his word faith will come by hearing and hearing by the Word of God fear doubt and unbelief worry anxiety and stress will come by the six o'clock news be informed but you can't keep looking at all this stuff you got to look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith and this is a race we're in and we're running a race as God's people and this is a chance to be a witness in the midst of all this darkness you're the light of the world if you know Jesus you're supposed to be light in the dark you're the salt of the earth while we have some challenging things and we need God's wisdom fears not an option Andrew I saw you jump on you probably wanted to jump in I got excited I was just gonna say that I think that there's a lot of people watching this that probably say well yes I agree that that's the way it should be but how can I overcome fear because that's what's being peddled I mean people are paying so how do you how do you do what you're talking there's only one way to overcome fear and that's faith fear is the absence of faith in one degree and faith only comes one way it comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God and so we need to get in the Word of God also we need to develop our relationship with Jesus in a deeper way during this time that's kind of where I was headed that we need to hear the Living Word of God individually that'll strengthen your heart just hear Jesus just hear his whisper he's so close to you if you know Jesus he is closer than your your very breath it's in him we're living and moving and have our very being we're so United to him we have such an intimacy with him he's with us in this he's for us in this he's not leaving or forsaking us so these are the things that people need to be hearing and pursuing nothing's gonna separate you from the love of God let me give you four things then quickly individually that that strengthened faith that that are how we should react not overreact but react in faith we've been putting out daily encouragement stew our people and anyone who wants to tune in of how to choose faith over fear because it's a choice you choose what you listen to take heed Jesus said to what you hear and whatever you give your ear over to it's it's gonna it's going to be compounded so give your ear to Jesus give your ear to his word his promises that are yes and amen so for things quickly and I'll just use my time to go back and forth as individuals who love Jesus and as a corporate body the church we've had to to incorporate our our virtues and our culture in a proactive way outside even the four walls and that's number one honor we are a people of honor we honor one another we we honor civil authorities we we honor and we render honor to whom honor is due and so there's a place where we have to honor those that have authority over us individually and corporately second one is love is love we have to know God's love for us that's where relationship comes in you know the timing on I heard John talk about his book and the timing on the release of my my book our union with Christ I deal in that book it just came out and I deal with in that book with how that Christianity is a marriage it's a relationship with Jesus it's intimacy with the Lord it's knowing he will never leave or forsake you and that he's a good husband a provider a protector he is our refuge he is our enemy and I just want to encourage people to to take a look at at that book and the chapters in that book that go into detail on the love of God i define God's love in that book I share how Jesus loves us and nothing will separate us from that love and how to cultivate that love so love is is number two and then number three is wisdom man we need wisdom this thing is fluid now I don't want to I don't want to overstate something when you're on a small timeline you can can overstate it but this thing is plumb demonic the whole world is melting down and there's no cause for this I'm not saying idiot and real I'm not saying idiot and a deadly disease but historically and and individually all of us have faced worse things than this and yet everything's collapsing so we need wisdom because of how fluid this thing is I mean who knows what's going to happen next and so we need God's wisdom and that involves the fear of the Lord not being afraid of a man being afraid of the government being afraid of a stupid virus but we need to fear God which doesn't mean be afraid of God but it means to reverence God worship God God Jesus is Lord man everyone listening to me right now there might be an exception there might be some unbelievers and we love you so much and if you listen long enough that'll get fixed but most of you are believers and we say Jesus is Lord well as he is he Lord / coronavirus this is even even the first coronavirus we've had this is coronavirus 19 many of the things that we've already overcome that were a lot worse than this we're coronaviruses so we could spend a lot of time on that the last one is serving serving so number one and if you'll take Romans 13 it is amazing it's 14 verses and all four of those things are outlined in Romans chapter 13 the first one is honored civil authorities are ministers of the Lord and as a church we want to honor them we want to honor the medical community the first responders are our governors and mayors and there's a point where if they violate our conscience or they violate clear Scripture then then we can lovingly resist but we are to submit to those authorities that are over us Romans 13 verses 1 through 7 says and three times 3 3 times they're called ministers of the Lord so I want to honor them 1st Timothy chapter 2 says I need to pray for them and and in praying for them I'm honoring them and here's how we pray you're saying what can we do pray that the government not overreach while we don't want them to under reach we don't mind them stepping in and trying to save lives but we need to pray they don't over reach because we know the heart of man without God is is is greedy for power and so we're gonna have to really be wise during this time so honor till they violate my conscience or clear Scripture I want to comply and God has prepared at least us here at victory for our online community how to connect in small groups so we're turning to the Lord number two is love God loves us love cast out all fear first John chapter four verse 18 says that there is no fear in love but perfect love casteth out fear because it has torment he that feareth is not perfected yeah I got excited and pulled on the cord how do you they got me on a chain but God's love will cast out all fear say how do you overcome fear faith what does that mean God loves you what does that mean faith works my love just pursuit God's love for you and I promise you doubt leaves fear leaves worry anxiety these things are inoculated by the goodness of God in your life by the love of God now I'm gonna say this quick Andrew you'll have you'll have to fix it but first Corinthians chapter 8 talks about knowledge and it talks about how some of us have a knowledge that other people don't have and so we have faith because we have a knowledge of God but we're not to impose that faith on people and and and love doesn't cause others to stumble Romans chapter 14 also deals with what we eat what we don't eat what day we worship on we don't worship on in it it talks about to people weak faith and strong faith right now people are watching that have no faith but you're gonna get faith by hearing the goodness of God for you there's other people with weak faith your faith is weak and that's okay we're not to condemn you we're not to criticize you that's real I've gone through seasons of my life of weak faith I've had moments where I felt my faith was weak so you have weak faith then you have strong faith those with strong faith don't need to despise those with weak faith and weak faith don't need to condemn those with strong faith and so the bottom line is lots of churches even are gonna have to make decisions they're gonna follow their conscience and what they think the Holy Spirit is saying to them and I'm not here to judge you or condemn you for whatever you feel led in in following God but I am here to love you and not put a stumbling block before you number three is wisdom proverbs four seven wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom with all you're getting get understanding so we need wisdom the beginning of wisdom proverbs 9:10 says is the fear of God fear God listen to me give me your heart for just a second fear God not man not a virus and fearing God isn't being scared of God it's God I love you and if you said the sky was green I'm gonna preach it mm-hmm jesus said that Jonah swallowed the way a lot of preachers fear God and whatever God says is true it's truth God's Word is truth you're gonna hear a lot of psychobabble during this time of crisis listen to God get in the Word of God here men of God that are approved and women of God that are approved of God that preached faith and love and and and and that's called wisdom wisdom last thing I know I'm out of time last thing is serving people want to know well what can I do what do I need to do how do I act in my faith well you need to serve others especially those of you that are strong in faith you know I'm not if somebody doesn't want to hug me because they're weak in their faith I'm not gonna impose a hug on them but man if people want to hug me we had jerks just last week and I'm sure I hugged a man was 500 people they took more hands you can shake a stick at and they're recovering from a major surgery humanism in my immune system according to the world is as low as it's ever being or could be and it's not by the grace of God pally there is no fear in us because of God's love again while I don't force somebody to hug me I'm strong in my faith and I don't fear any plague I don't fear this whatsoever and so I want to serve people our church is serving our community we're opening our facilities up pastors get creative yet before God how can you serve your community if you're strong in faith don't be boasting about how great your faith is act in boldness in serving the Lord verse 14 of Romans chapter 13 covers this and again that chapter covers everything I've said before 14 says put on Christ I may be no Jesus is the servant King and we're here to serve people and we're gonna lay hands on the sick and they will recover it amen that's a good word pastor Duane sorry I blew up that's why I invited you because I know man you're operating in faith you know let me say to the people that are watching that I made an address to our staff last Monday we called we had 500 staff here locally and we called them all together and talked about all this and I use the exact same verses again you and I are so much alike it's scary and I told him I said now if you don't want to hug me I won't hug you if you want this bump I'll fist bump you but I said if you want to hug me out after I hug nearly five or six people bit that that's about where I was this one lady she was so nervous she said can I put my hands on you and just pray for you as if I was gonna go oh my god don't touch me I can't him you know I've got a great picture I don't know if the guys yeah I don't know if the guys here can put it up or not but somebody sent mrs. hit your this is beautiful they said picture of a guy who you picture Jesus long hair wearing a robe and he's laying hands on somebody and he's got a surgical mask on can anybody imagine that Jesus would be afraid to lay hands on somebody because he could catch the coronavirus if Jesus wouldn't do that we shouldn't be doing that and there and there are more things that we're needing to stand against than this overreaction of this coronavirus at least at this point we all need to believe God's protection in every part of our lives so I again I got excited but I don't want to take up Jesse's time well oh there's there's a pitch that's not the one I saw but there's a picture of Jesus John Tesh has it up can you imagine Jesus doing something like this so again let me say that if you would like to see my reaction and what I shared with my staff about how we interact with each other during this time and stuff you can go to our website I have a 30 address there that will deal with the exact same thing pastor Duane did I talk about first Corinthians 8 in more detail just because I had more time than he had and it would really be a blessing to you so thanks pastor Duane bit are a blessing thank you I am blessed and let me also just add one thing Duane was talking about you know honor and the people over it before we came on here Jesse Duane and John and I were all talking and we think that there might have been other ways even possibly better ways to handle this than what has been done but I want to say this that we need to be careful about being Monday morning quarterbacks countering everything that's been done because nobody has ever gone through this before I'll be turning 71 next month and I've never seen anything that even remotely resembles this and so we need to be careful nobody knew how to respond to it and I don't think that we ought to be critical right now we just need to get through this I agree and I want to say something to all that are watching I don't recall in my lifetime somebody can email me but I don't recall a crisis anywhere near this worldwide and I don't recall a president asking the church to assemble and pray we were asked by the President of the United States to pray for him pray for the team and pray for our our cities and to me that was pretty awesome and I was honored to do so that raised man that's a great point I'm glad you brought that out man you know there are signs of revival all through this just like that president that you're talking about and people now are looking to God and we have an opportunity to shine and show the boldness and the freedom that we've got this is really a great hour for the church and so appreciate all your comments doing that's awesome so Jesse Duplantis we are glad to have you with us man you are just such an encourage and I thought when I when the Lord spoke to me about getting people together and let's do something to counter all the negative ISM and be an encouragement you were one of the first persons I thought out because that is thank you that is your name is mr. encourage er I've never seen you do anything except encourage people so if you don't know Jessie I again I can't do him justice but Jessie has travelled for I think over 40 years if I'm not mistaken and he they encourage or deluxe and Jessie and Cathy have become good friends of mine I tell you I really respect these people they have a relationship with the Lord and so what have you got to share to encourage people Jessie well I tell I tell people all the time that that encouragement is the oxygen of the soul so breathe a little bit here breathe I made up my mind I read the scripture I put on the helmet of salvation the breastplate of righteousness the shield of faith the sword of the Spirit a girdle my loins with truth and I shot my feet my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace before the coronavirus ever got him I made up my mind that God's Word is true no matter what I see now what I love about John Tesh I was listening to him how God healed him see what would change John to receive his healing he began to say what he want instead of what he had and when he first heard about the cancer he said everything you had said everything you had said everything he had then all of a sudden when he got your CD the word of faith began to kind of flow in and the word the gospel getting a flow it began to say what he want it begin to say what they want and mark 11 23 and 24 if I can preach a little bit here it tells you how to get rid of what you don't want and get what you do want and they said if you say to that mountain be thou removed now the church was waiting for God to say it it's not God's Mountain ladies and gentlemen it's your mountain so you say that mountain be thou removed be thou cast to see it not doubt in your heart believe those things would you say not not what God says would you say you shall have whatsoever you say it but you should be saved only what God says Andrew that's the whole thing that's why Jesus was so successful he said I only do what my father tells me to do only say what my father tells me to say so when I begin to hear John talking I said he began to say what he want that he wanted to be healed he wanted to be with his family he wanted to do whatever God told him to do and write this wonderful book what a blessing of God that is now he's healed today now the devil don't know what to do with that ladies and gentlemen well I want to taste them what the coronavirus it has a name and obama said everything name has the bow and the name of Jesus I don't doubt what's happening in the world but you know what I create my world you can do what you want to do I create my world and then I walk in it and I created through the word of the Lord Jesus Christ now some people say you don't care about nothing I said you right I ain't afraid of nothing and I don't care about nothing because care is a form of pride he's saying you that you God can't handle your business so you gotta take it back and worry about it I'm not gonna do that you said I'm the age and Andrew me and you that same age we're the age that my god we all love me walking outside we love to die you know with with the people that catch us all it but I don't care what the world says I don't deny it and I don't mean that to be rude or brash but I made up my mind that if I'm gonna believe this gospel the way it was written then it's gonna make some people mad just like Jesus when he preached it made people met but I made up my mind to speak the word I got I almost speaking answer instead of speaking of properly man I want to say something and I love this and I said this the other day when I was reading Genesis chapter 1 he said in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth without form and void and darkness on the face of the deep and the Spirit of Lord God moved upon the waters and God said let there be light or action the hebrew who said light me notice he did he recorded there was darkness there someone oughta be there to hear me I want it listen to me he didn't be say that went there he recorded it was there he that God didn't I say this in the beginning I created the heavens and the earth and darkness I got a dog out of here look hot dog it is idea Oh what we gonna do no he said like me what I'm telling everybody it's pushed the light if you will push the light you'll get rid of the darkness push that light and Jesus is the light of the world am I getting too excited here and no I think you're doing great yes that's awesome you just pushed the light when you push the light the lights gonna open up and destroy darkness you listen to me people I'm telling you I know what I'm talking about I am no novice in this I've had that devil try to kill me many times but great as he was in me than he was in the world and if death and life and upon my tongue that I won't speak with life says but people says you look mad I don't care what I look like I care about what I believe you see but there are a lot of the media a lot of people that they panic so much you don't hear a doctor go in and say and if he's got any kind of bedside manner you don't say man you look bad Jack and the guy next door just died look like you're gonna follow him oh that doctor says hey I've got something that can help you listen to me people listen to me world the body of Christ has got something we can help you with and it sure is it fear this fear tolerated is faith contaminated I love the three Hebrew children my god when Nebuchadnezzar ate their lunch I like what they said we don't we don't care how we answer you it doesn't make a difference what you say because great is he was in us if we live we live when we die we die but we're not bowing down to that image of fear and guess what the people that tried to throw them in there they died and the bonds that they tied them up with it burn off and they were walking in the fire and I like what the devil said he said I threw three in there but I saw another man who's that let me tell you something Jesus shows up and chose out when you're willing to walk through the fire in your day I walk through the valley of the shadow of death it didn't say though I stopped Miller house and canonized the place no and I'm not denying this and I believe in civil authority I believe and think about what the president is going through think about what the government is doing everything they know to do but I'm gonna tell you something ladies we know what to do also and so let's fight that devil from the medical side let's do all weekend but let's fight him with the spiritual side let's find him with what Jesus did he took our infirmity so if he took it why should you have it he bore your sickness so if he born why should you want it and by His stripes I am healed now it doesn't make any what they say suppose do you die then I go to heaven suppose do you live I still go to heaven the end result is the same am I getting too excited here cancer I'm excited that John Tesh is living instead of a man because he said what he wanted I'm so glad that pastors bastard the winds got the church called victory life you don't have a church called victory death victory doubt God he's got victory life and life that more abundant and what is Jesus he said I came to give your life to the full till it overflows are you hearing what I'm saying let's push that light that's what I'm telling people and I believe in honoring and I love that with our pastor said honoring I was people that are in authority but let me tell you something Andrew this is for you and this is for me if we start saying if a journey catches them it's going to not listen they ain't gonna invite us to the party they don't want us at the party but I want to say something we going to the party because we don't only one that can read that handwriting on that wall you understand I mean that handwrite is coming it is Satan trying to destroy everything but God is putting ministers like Andrew myself like the Wayne like John my god they can say hey I've been through this thing and you know and I can preach what I'm going through don't preach what you're going through you don't know it you hadn't finished yet but if you preach what you've gone through you will know in whom you have believed then you'll be persuaded that he is able that's what I love about the Apostle Paul he said I don't care what anybody says I like I said for I'm persuaded it doesn't make a lick of difference what they say this man writes the greatest letter of encouragement to his spiritual son Timothy when he's in prison him nobody writing any encouragement letters in prison unless you know Jesus see you got to know Jesus you got to know what he can do and then you got to know what he promised well I know what he's done I know what he's doing and I know what he's going to do so I'm telling you I believe the Word of the Living God no matter what and I've had the devil do everything I've been down in three airplane crashes I've been shot at three times they tried to knife me twice I've been tried electrocuted me two or three times misses in 44 years of full-time ministry but you know what I'm still here because God wants me I have used that same logic I had somebody asking me about how bad is this and I said you know what when you've seen your son raised from the dead after being dead for five hours you seen your wife raised from the dead Dwayne saw his grandson raised from the dead John - is you know when you go through something like this the coronavirus which we aren't making light of it but we're saying it is nothing compared to God's power because of the power of who he is listen Andrew no one could change me but a God Almighty you understand I was one of the best senators you've ever seen when I take when I got saved Satan cried he said we've lost a great man today you know but when Jesus came into my life Oh Lord I mean I want a Holy Ghost right now when he came into my life he pushed everything else out I am finished with the world I'm finished with sickness I'm finished with disease I'm finished with all that's them who do you think you are just how much time you've got because in the beginning God created the heaven into Earth and my thought he said let's create Jesse God he created me to do what to be an image of him I want to be a reflection of Christ instead of casting a reflection upon you I believe that's what our pastor was saying here we need to honor we need to honor our people in authority and I'm gonna tell you sir I'm glad I'm not a governor I'm glad I'm not a president because they got to make some decisions but I'll tell you one thing I came back I came back the president I came back a governor but I made up my mind that the Word of God is true I would tell all the leaders if you're watching this today use us use the spiritual leaders my god we know how to attack super a virus we know how to do that they work from the natural we work from the supernatural I've told doctors that many many times and I said listen man I thank god you're here I believe in hospitals and doctors but I made up my mind I'm gonna help you instead of just hold you back I gotta tell you a story that happened probably 38 years ago I very seldom ever go Andrew to a hospital because I'm a traveling minister that's pastoral duties make a long story short I decided to go because someone asked me that there was a little boy named Chad that was dying I didn't know who Chad was I had no idea so I walked in there I had to go into the intensive care waiting room people were so sad I mean I mean that was such gloom and doom in there because the people that were in that intensive care they were dying I mean it was bad so I looked around and I saw this lady I said are you the mother of Chad she said yes my son's dying she said he's a he's been in a coma and his feet or now going like this and that says these are the brain is shut down I said well ma'am I have a card that I can get in that intensive care you come with me I didn't know what God was gonna do but I knew God was gonna show up and show out well when I walked in her and I don't mean this to be critical just being truthful here our pastor said whether the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away I said to myself my god he did lady don't need to hear this that she wants her son so I walked in there and I said I'm grabbing the plan blood like this and that this was at st. Francis's hospital in Monroe Louisiana all those many years ago when I walked up the little boy you know who was in a fetal position in Little Feat Herveaux oh I can hear it and feel it right now and the Lord said call his spirit I said what the muscle i said what he said call his spirit now the doctor was standing there the minister was standing there you understand their minister the people's man and their lady crying so I don't care people think I'm nuts as a kid dying here we got to do something he said just say well let's confess I believe in confession but what we confess we must possess it's time to get some things done and I hollered as loud as I could and Ruth I went I mean they ain't spoken five days fetal position office in the open his eyes he says mama I'm hungry well the place went crazy the doctor the doctor push me away I said hold on doc I'm doing better than you are and the momma said let him do something Lillian Newsome he had walked out of that all out of that Hospital just a day or two later and he's full-grown got his own family listen to me I don't deny this coronavirus but this fear I will not bow now that they in fear I will not do it and he's just casting all your care upon him for he careth for you it don't just fall off you you got the casting you see what I'm trying to say now you hear a man like this pastor here he's got one look he's got one Church in 14 different leg location must be saying something right hey man you see what I'm saying right it's common sense people don't do that so I'm I want to say what's right I want to honor our civil authorities but I want to tell you something if this is the finest hour of the church if the church will stand up get rid of the nomination on nondenominational end of the nomination and come together in one mine in one Court I haven't got Japanese today well I just don't believe in healing I said you hadn't got sick enough he said what I said you hadn't got sick enough yet young man oh I said you never had a doctor tell you got pancreatic cancer and you got a month to live but somebody like me becomes very popular when they say that to you John Tess's testimony is still stirring me up said he was acting like a cancer victim because he was saying what he had I don't know that but when he began to turn with mark 11:23 and begin to say what he wanted what did you want John he just wanted to live what's wrong with living live as long as you want death and life in the palm of your tongue you see and that's what changes things well I tried that trying don't get nothing done no doing get something done you see what I'm saying Hamish I made my mind up that I'm gonna push the light I'm gonna push this light with every fabric of my being I'm gonna get so bright you might have to put sun shades I want just to look at in a cocky way I'm just gonna I'm not gonna go in and and be moved by what I see I'm gonna be moved by what I've been in but I'm not criticizing anybody in any way shape or form of little faith of big faith what I'm interested in is destroying this enemy sad to say they're casualties in War I heard the president say we're in a war yeah but see Satan is just not interested in drew and killing people with the corona of ice he wants to kill the United States of America right he was destroyed financially he wants to destroy the churches see he's not interested in one or two things so we can be not ignorant of the devil's devices sometimes you gotta stand up I like with General George Patton said one time in World War two I mean I think I'll call him old blood and guts but I'll tell you one thing yet was afraid of that guy he said there's only two kinds of people are gonna stay on this Beach the ones that's dead and the ones that's gonna die now you get up and take that mouth and buddy they did when they hit it with Jima you know it five thousand Marines died there guys they want to go up there man but they knew if they had to get to Japan they had ajumma they had to get the Midway now listen if we can defeat Nazism if we could win in World War 1 World War 2 the Korean War Vietnam the Gulf Wars my god we can take care of this virus awesome done by a supernatural thing called the Word of God so if you're Catholic I'm on your side father if you're Methodist I'm on your side if you Baptists I'm on your side my god let's link together and say hey a fight you want a fight you're gonna get and I'm gonna tell you something when Satan begins to see that kind of power he backs off and then people need to be healed I'm Jesse Duplantis and I proved that man I you're an encourage one other thing I'd like to ask of you Jesse you were at our Lodge here in Woodland Park one time and the reason I want you to tell this story is because pastor Duane and John referred to to about how that he began to understand the love of God and God had given us this power pastor Duane was talking about intimacy perfect love cast out fear and you've spoken a lot of faith and encouragement but one time you were at our lodge and we were eating and you were just telling me about a time that you were praying and you recognized something was wrong and what this does it speaks about your relationship with God that's behind all of this faith people hear you tell all these great stories and they try and go out in their flesh and do it but this story shows your personal relationship with God and it's one of the treasures that I have from you if you'd share that quickly yes sir what I wanted from God see being raised I was raised Catholic all I knew was two prayers the Hail Mary prayer now I found the prayer that's it see what I'm saying so I didn't know I knew a lot about God but I did not know God I thought of God is the Holy Roman Catholic Church then my mother and father got saved and thank God they did but here's the thing I thought you know there are a lot of people say I know Jesse Duplantis no you don't you may know about me or I know Andrew Wommack no you don't you may know about it I know John Tesh I just met him through a video screen well I don't know no I don't really know him I know about him because he beginning to tell me his testimony here's what I'm talking about I said god I don't want to do I want a relationship I want to fellowship I want this hello Jesus hi Jesse what's wrong with her can I have that you talked to Abraham he said yeah you called him the friend of God I said God can I be your friend he said Jesse I need a friend well what you talking about Andrew I'll never forget that I went and I did my morning devotions like I normally do I have the most wonderful time I mean I just I have many conversations with God and it's wonderful to talk to the Lord and the reason why some people can hear his voice as soon as they finish praying to get up and walk out and God goes so I want more than relationship on one fellowship so I went into my office my study actually had my home and and I was praying and I said something wrong now I'm gonna freak some of you people out when I say this I sent something wrong ladies and gentlemen it was only me and God in that room because I've gone in for my morning devotion and ladies and gentlemen there was nothing wrong with me am i shocking you I knew something was wrong with gonna get mad at me let me finish don't judge me God God wasn't acting like he normally acts because God is God so I said Lord what's wrong did somebody hurt you today did somebody hurt you today Lord Sivas God's capacity to love is for greater than ours but his capacity to hurt is even greater than ours and he went yes my children have disobeyed me he said I have some bad kids Jesse but there's still my kids I knew that he wasn't for lack of a better way to say it not acting right I could say it in the Holy Ghost but this aid in English is very hard you know what I said and Andrew you know what I said I said Lord I'm gonna stay right here I'm cancel all my appointments and I don't know how to say this to you but I'm just said in my natural mind I'm gonna thank you and praise you and love you so you for lack of a better way to say it so you feel better Andrew I lifted my hands up and I praise the Lord I just been getting honor him and just bless him and reach out and I heard the Lord go he said Jesse thank you and I'll never forget that long as I ever live it it touches my heart when I think about that I said we're children you see we're not God's ladies and gentlemen we use children and don't you love your kids don't you want to bless him and I made God for lack of a better way to say it feel better he said you can go to the office now and thank you Jesse he said you're getting close to me and you starting it I felt like of a better way to say so we can understand the natural feel what I'm feeling see see ladies and gentlemen Jesus when he was born had to learn to be a human you that are born again have to learn to be spirit okay now listen to that you got to learn to be spirit and the way you do that is not only relationship with Jesus but fellowship with him so while I was preaching a while ago and I know I sound hard and brash but let me tell you something we got a serial killer out there and his name is Satan he ain't playing games he don't come to make sick he come to what steal kill and destroy and he can't kill you unless he steals from you first don't let him steal this word of God oh could be so come I thank you holding on he said say this listen to this some of you you still fight your sin from you are not a forgiving Center quit saying that you are a new creature in Christ all things have passed away behold all things have become new when you understand that I realize that so now when I talk to the Lord y'all gonna laugh when I say that I walk in I talked in this morning said hello are you worried about the coronavirus amen holy saying is used my word yes use that sword of the Spirit it's not in your hand it's in your mouth this is one of the things that I've come to love about you most people don't get to visit with you behind the scenes and they hear the great testimonies and they get encouraged but it's your personal relationship with god that makes you who you are and have this boldness and that's what I know about pastor Duane and that's what I know about Jeff - that's about me and Kerry Kerry I heard her minister on love one time to a group of preachers and you think all of the preachers are bound to know that God loves them but she she exemplified it she shared her relationship and there were preachers pastors repenting and there every one of us that you're looking at this is what makes us tick and let me just say it this way that if you are in fear I'm not criticizing you I'm not condemning us pastor Duane said some have no faith some have a little face I'm have strong faith we aren't against you but if you are in fear over this it's because your love relationship with the Lord is not where it's supposed to be it's not like what jesse was talking about and that's what we need and if nothing else comes of this it should serve as a wake-up call to so many people who are now panicked and fearful it should reveal to you that there is something lacking and it's not the healing from the coronavirus many of you watching this don't have any symptoms you aren't sick and yet you've still got problems it's not the sickness it's the problem it's the lack of relationship with God the lack of intimacy with God and if you don't have that relationship that Jesse was talking about that every one of us is describing I would encourage you to just call out to God and as Jesse was explaining you don't have to pray a religious prayer you can just simply call out and say Jesus this reveals that I don't know you that I am afraid when it goes beyond my ability the doctors ability to deal with something I don't have anything beyond that I need a capacity that comes from the spirit and not just from physical natural things so let me just I believe that there's some people right now praying and they're saying man I need what you guys are talking about and it really is as simple as calling out to Jesus and saying Jesus I recognize my need I don't know you even somebody who may be born again you don't know God the way that Jesse was talking about and you need to pray right now and say Jesus I want to know you I want to know you in an intimate way not just that you exist but I want relationship with you I repent of my sins and right now by faith I receive and then stick your nose in this Bible and begin to learn it because this is God speaking to you and we've put up the website address of all of these different speakers you can get their materials like I was saying I got two hundred thousand hours worth of materials on fine website twenty-two hours 22 years of 24 hours a day looking at it there's no reason for you not to know God because we're taking everything that we've got and sharing it with you man God spoke to people amen yes sir I believe people guys say hey Andrew can I say something yesterday you know when you get kind of locked down Louisiana daily locking everything down as much as they possibly can I mean I was about ready to pray in the Lord actually I was walking toward where I go pray I have a chapel in my own home I built it and it's really and I call it God's room and to make long story short he said hey Jesse what you doing that's it well I was coming to talk to you he said let's walk outside doc I said okay now people what do you believe this or not that's okay I'm just saying so I'm walking out and I'm just having this wonderful conversation with God and you know in south Louisiana we have some of the prettiest oak trees you have seen yo I'm what they call live oak some of them are 400 years old five and I mean they got I mean their branches are so heavy they're on the ground and they have to support the branches and they grow through them that and I said well god that's the tree he said didn't I do good with that tree that sounds so hmm weird we see God notices every little thing and I begin to realize that as my relationship and my fellowship gets greater with the Lord I begin to see through his eyes the small things as well as the big things and I don't mean this to sound arrogant I don't have time to worry I don't have time to get depressed Andrew you've been knowing me a long time if you ever saw me sad no sick disgust it just bombed it discouraged and I've had many opportunities to do that broke no I made up my mind when God spoke to me about my ministry ladies and gentlemen I thought well how I'm gonna do all this financially he said yes II know what he said I didn't ask you to pay for it I asked you to believe for it oh that set me free from the top of my head to the soles my feet see you gotta understand the loyalty of God he will never leave you he will never forsake you and he gave you a wonderful gift called peace he said I give it to pieces possession of adequate resource we're thinking just in the natural that's spiritual physical financial in every area amen I'm telling people today I will not operate in fear and if I'm gonna say what I just gonna tell you something we did when Hurricane Katrina hit here New Orleans was devastated there wasn't a light on anywhere we had over 500,000 refrigerators and freezers with rotten food in them that they were throwing in in the garbage and I was flying in and Andrew I could smell a trot 50 miles out it would come through in our plane to make a long story short man I mean it got to the point that they will push it so much sadness that people begin to turn the television off turn it off because it see panic and fear will make you sick I heard Governor Cuomo of New York say this yesterday he said are there any psychologists or therapists if you could volunteer your time because so many people are panicking with mental trauma ladies and gentlemans as ministers of the gospel we are essential workers we are preaching this gospel but they need us listen to me you can call Andrew woman you call mine you can call bypass the the way or whatever where that went and John to whatever when you hear that he stirred my faith you see and we can get rid of this because the battle is really here and the visor taking a hike as soon as you change this amen you go from this to this you change that virus that's awesome awesome awesome well if we got any questions that have come in we've got just a little bit of time here but I know that probably people have been encouraged and they may want to express it or ask a question yeah we've had over 11,000 people on and so we have tons of questions so we're gonna get through as many of them as possible but Carnac in on YouTube sis's how can we preach or share or tell people who don't believe in Jesus and tell them how to not fear during this crisis time how does one start the conversation with this with a non-believer who would like to take that one I'd like to I tell people since you don't believe in God you better believe in something because you need some help and you need some help quick so why don't you believe in a person that does believe believe the unbelievable receive the impossible because it's doable because they're the only Jesus sir that anybody ever gonna see is that Jesus and you are the Jesus in me so it's very imperative that I stand strong and show you the love of God and show you the faith of God because let me tell you someone you get terrified enough you will reach out to somebody who's strong enough to say we can fix this amen ladies and gentlemen Jesus Christ has already fixed this all we got to do is pick up the answer so find you someone I like what the Apostle Paul said follow me as I follow Christ and that's what I'm talking about so there are a lot of people that don't know the Lord and that's remember see but not the things of the Lord but when you face in death and I've seen people tell me that before in a hospital I don't know God I said well we will fix this problem with your body but we got to fix your spirit for men we're reaching out to someone so I would tell ministers and I'm not saying it's easy we don't have time to get depressed we don't have time to get discouraged we don't have time to be despondent we got to go to work this is a war and every minister should be on the frontline ministering to people you know I believe that we're too concerned about people's reactions and stuff and so we hold things back and I think we just ought to be ourselves and if people reject us let them reject us but the Lord spoke to me a long time ago when a guy came to me with the problem and he asked me how do I deal with this and I knew what the problem was and it was him and God told me exactly what to say to it and I thought he's not gonna like this he's gonna reject this and as I was debating whether or not to tell him the Lord spoke to me and said if you don't tell him what I told you then you rejected the truth for him every person all I have the right to reject the truth on their own don't you reject it for him it's good so I would say that all of these people that just go out there and start sharing and you may not do it perfectly but God's never had anybody qualified working for him yet just get started don't quit Amen on that real quick again part of spirit filled life the main thing of being filled with the spirit is to be a witness that's what you're saying and Jesse is saying be confident be filled with joy be filled with Thanksgiving be filled with a servant's heart and I'm Tony it'll draw people in to the love of God and giving their life to to the Lord so be filled with the Holy Spirit and in that be a witness John let me ask you John because you you are pretty much in the secular realm where as all the rest of us are in the religious room we affect people in the secular room but you are out there all of the time talking to people who just probably think that everything that we've been saying is absolutely crazy how do you share with them how do you make an end well I mean my wife Connie and I are the same way we want to make sure that when we leave the house we always have bullets in our gun now that's a metaphor that's not so my job at Connie's job on the intelligence for your life radio shows is to curate information and when you curate information you take a you take a large concept or or even a you know five thousand word article you turn it into two hundred and thirty three words and that's a minute thirty there are times when you really have to pick a lane when you meet people and you have to understand first you have to live but I think with Stephen cover you wrote the seven Habits of Highly successful people you have to figure out what their paradigm is right if you come in with guns blazing they're gonna be like whoa what is this okay so where are you are you in the dinner party or are you in in line at the shopping center or at the grocery store and you wish you look at the paradigm and you figure out what that is and how to come come at them and so a lot of people look to us for evidence right and so sometimes that's that secular evidence sometimes that's not secular evidence and also one of the big things that we do and this is not self-serving at all is is you will will talk about my testimony right which is which is easy to do and everybody has a testimony but then we'll say hey do you want to go further and we actually send videos from from Karis Bible that are on on YouTube now people can go to your website of course one of the easiest things for them to do is this they say hey just search Wommack right here I'll smell it I'll give it to your own texted to you and there's so many people that's what you know what it is is like okay I'm I go as far in the white keys right to use the the piano analogy I'm playing the white keys but if you want the Jazz here's Andrew because I'm I'm still I'm still learning right both of us are still learning so yeah I've got mark 11:23 and yeah I've got Psalm 90 in Psalms 91 yeah I've got proverbs 18:21 but listen do you want to go further you know and then we have a conversation about what you've seen people we brought people to your meetings right who we're talking about and whenever we do a concert there are hundreds of people who will show up in our lobby after they hear my testimony like how do i how do I go further and then you find people like Caroline leaf you know Caroline leaf right and and she's a she's a doctor but she's a neurologist and she's also a Christian and and she believes and she has studied this that where we are right now right is in a place where if we continue to worry if we continue to ruminate here we are locked in our houses and if we continue to to move away from God's Word and listen to everything that's on the television and the radio we are going to destroy our immune systems and we're going to be set up for what Satan wants to do and that's the science of it all so dr. Leif said quote you cannot control the events work or circumstances I'm gonna put it up here hang on one second she says you there it is you cannot control the circumstances or you cannot control the circumstances or events of your life but you can't control your reactions and controlling those reactions is the difference between healthy minds and bodies and sick minds and bodies she also says whether we switch on happiness peace and good health or switch on anxiety worry and negativity we are changing the physical substance of the brain now what is that we will have what we say it's it's it's supported by science and it's supported by the Word of God yeah that's obvious I've read some of that not the whole book but she says that once you get discouraged depressed start focusing on the negative that your brain starts sending signals to every cell in your body to be sick they have problems and stuff and what jesse was expressing what all of us are expressing man when you get into faith it just starts sending this power of God throughout your whole body you can't be sick and be praising God amen well we're gonna take another question here a cowboy Tom on chat says this what advice would you give to those of us in essential services that cannot always be in isolation beyond what the authorities are telling us there are many needs that must be met to keep others supplied with what they need to sustain life so what would you say to the essential workers out there serving people right now pastor Duane well obviously they need to be full of faith they need to be believing God for protection they need to be confident they need to be filled with hope and be positive and it's it's it's it's infectious when we are filled with the things of God and so the people on the front line they need to be they need to be built up in their faith their most holy faith now you need to go to work realizing this is not just a physical battle it is a spiritual battle so they need their mind on the Lord they need to be believing for protection for themselves to be able to reach out to people so man I've encouraged all of our first respond others to make sure that they're they're working on their their daily devotion their relationship that they're filled with the things of God and filled with faith and and hope that's just something in the natural that's good it's obviously good in the spiritual and so I think that's more important than even the physical things is to be an encourage encourage people and allow your faith again to be infectious in people's hearts because if you'll go for the heart you'll get the body in tone and you know on Tuesday nights I'm gonna on Tuesday night I'm gonna have our live Bible study and I'm going to be teaching specifically from Psalms 91 switch which we haven't talked about today but every one of us believes and that says that no plague will even come nigh your dwelling that you shall not be afraid of the noise and pestilence and it's all voice-activated Psalms 91 - I'm going to talk about this but those people that are having to serve other people where they could possibly be infected you can get to a place that no germ can live that touches your body I believe that all of my heart that's where I live amen hey can I say something I was listening I heard of us I think this is a movie line somewhere I believe it was in Pearl Harbor the movie and one of those people said there's nothing like the heart of a volunteer and that's so true there are a lot of people these people they're on the front line they are tired work I have a nurse she's working 16 hours a day gets home Texas shower cleans up sleeps 2 hours and runs back because there's so much going on but we have people here in New Orleans that they've shut down the restaurant so you know what they did they have take you out is that you do that but they volunteers are coming in and making up boxes for people that can't afford things and doing whatever they can and you know they have to look and you know that virus is out there yeah but then you know there's something about the volunteer a heart of a volunteer they're just amazing to me and I thank God for that but I like what you said and people say oh that's craziness well you know Andrew you're gonna be 71 I'm gonna be 71 we still here you know how many germs have touched our body that didn't make it they died your life through I don't get sick I don't I it's been a decade since I've been sick I just don't get sick because I believe what the Word of God says exactly the same way and I'm not you know people so I get sick all the time well I'm not here to judge you I'm just saying I just take this Word of God as medicine every day in my life and every day not just some day not just on Church day I observe God more than just on Sunday and services he's in my life every day and I want I just feel little the Lord to say this right there I know there's some people hurt you've lost someone with the over the coronavirus and you know and that's a terrible thing I haven't had that at my family so I can't say I know what you're going through but what I can do at the end you if you don't mind I'd like to pray for the people I'm still in people's families that have lost people to the coronavirus if that's alright that's great lord I ask you to help people today yeah Lord shut down this virus today in this iris I talk to you and I command you to get under these people's feet for all to actually bring peace and love and that passes all understanding to the families that may have lost a family member I call it today because faith destroys all distance between me and them I mean right now with through technology Mike Andrews in Colorado I'm in New Orleans I believe John's in Los Angeles I'm not quite sure and and I pastors in another place but if the media can do that in technology how much more can faith just permeate through this program and give peace and love fievel's we prayed you not not yourself in Jesus name we are for you and we are with you amen amen I know we're short of time but what I didn't put out right there at the end that he just prayed I would I would recommend everyone on the frontline be under a good a good pastor get in a church it knows how to pray and knows how to stand for you and believe with you amen you know let me just mention this that Jesse and I have a conference coming up on don't limit God on April the 30 and may the first and you know I guess it's still up in the air whether they're gonna let us do that but at this moment we're planning on doing it amen and so that would be awesome he's coming here to our facilities in Woodland Park and we are just going to be talking about taking the limits off God and I've written a book about I mean my whole life and ministry has changed and Jesse is one of the few people that I get around who's believing bigger than me and so I think that between the two I'm expecting to receive but I believe that you will be tremendously blessed so go to our website you can find out information and then on September the 24th through the 26th pastor Duane and I are going to be doing an identity conference that's what I call spirit soul and body when I realized I was a spirit being instead of just this physical emotional person and so I pastored Duane has a book entitled identity theft and we're going to be just taking everything that God has shown us and both of their be ministering on the same thing that's gonna be fun it'll be awesome so anyway it'll be like to be excited you can go to our website again and get more information about that and I believe it'd be a real blessing to you sorry I can't I can't wait on this don't limit God because you see even though that conference is coming up if we started today we don't limit his power and his healing this coronavirus are shot down before we finished a man today a man that's how powerful it is and I really mean that you know people say oh you just you're giving people false hope they no such thing as false hope when you put faith with it now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen so if you can't see the virus use the stuff the killed over the virus that the virus can't see as the evidence of faith is not see and you know I've never heard anybody else see this so I'm gonna couch this that I could be totally wrong this is just a theology but did you know that we will go years without a plane crash and then there will be some plane crash but because it's put on the news and everybody's talking about it and everybody is speaking fear there will be a multitude a rash of plane crashes because something happens it seems like it goes in spurts and I really believe it's because people collectively get to speaking doubt in fear and of course this is certainly happening with the coronavirus and just to Jesse's point if we would rise up at the body of Christ and quit speaking forth and rehearsing all of this fear and go to speaking our faith I believe we can stop this stuff this negativism this false news and stuff is doing a lot of damage so we need to be bold amen amen amen one of the things that you can also do for anybody that watching if you're saying hey I need some prayer I need someone to stand with me to agree with me I've got things going on my family please call our prayer line our prayer line ministers are standing by seven one nine six three five eleven eleven so they want to pray with you so throughout the week they are ready to pray for you so twenty four five they're available for prayer so I don't have Sunday no they're not available on Sunday but call us tomorrow morning - amen we're ready for you and we're now in 24 hours a day and I tell you we've seen people raised from the dead through our phones and great great things are happening so it is a huge huge resource again we've put up Duane's information we put up Jesse's we put up John's you can contact them and I know that Dwayne and Jesse have all kinds of materials there that can minister to you and stuff so anyway this this whole purpose of this was just to be an encouragement to counter the negativity and I think that this was a god deal amen I really enjoyed it I had a great time and we want to meet you every night this coming week and so Monday nights are normal truth and liberty Tuesday night we have our normal Tuesday night Bible study and Rudy's gonna teach on Psalms 91 it was powerful last Tuesday and then on Wednesday Paul Milligan and Billy ever heart going to be talking about the financial things a number of you asked questions about how do we deal with economic fallout this would be a great time to tune in then on stay Thursday a lot of you asked about children and family and how do i minister to my children and fear that they're going through Thursday night pastor Greg Moore is going to be ministering to us on how to minister to our children our family members and non-believers and then on Friday with Ashley and karlie Tara days they're going to talk about healing and so just we're just gonna spend a power-packed week live stream you'll be able to ask questions and answers so invite people you know that really need to hear this word and one of the last things that I'd like to say is just thank you to our partners because you know we're shut down to to a very large degree and yet Friday when I looked at the my last reports we're about 1.3 million dollars ahead of where we were this time last year our partners you guys are awesome they just continued to give and I know that pastor Dwayne I bet you your people because you've taught them they are Canadian to support you I know Jesse is having his partners continue to support him yes yes John you don't have partners but you've got a world she's around yourself I'm speaking directly people who are watching this for the you know for the first time Connie and I have been we've sat under Andrew and also Dwayne in in school at Karis Bible and you guys have become partners of Andrews ministry man I'll tell you what the what you've done Andrew with your Bible School is your training up people to be mini use it's a crazy expression but we see the training that you're doing this focus almost primarily on unhealing and so I'd any buddy who wants to support a university that is training people in the Word of God man it's just so incredible is one thing I just have to say no we're out of time but it came to me today one was I knew I was gonna talk to you guys is that what I'm gonna practice this week is something called faith hygiene I don't know if anybody's ever come up with this before but we're so consumed by hygiene right which it's the gloves and the mask and the washing and the hands and and the Purell and all the rest of that stuff but I'm gonna I'm gonna concentrate more on replacing any thought that comes into my head casting it out second Corinthians five to the obedience of Christ and cleaning up my brain so that I'm devoid of worry and the only thing left is the Word of God and that's that's the faith hygiene and I'm practicing that's a great analogy because they're going to all of these extremes in the physical and yet the trash of the world is flowing through their mind and without any cleaning at all jesus said in John 15 now you are clean through the word that I have spoken unto you so we need to purify our minds you know I have to say that when John said that if you get these terrible thoughts of fear and things that if you don't speak them they'll die they'll they'll die unborn they will abort themselves think about that I think we get thought said and see this that's not my thoughts my thoughts are lovely just good report and pure and virtuous I'm gonna think on those things and you know everybody get some ugly thoughts and and sometimes someone jump in there but if you don't speak them they'll die unborn they will abort themselves and then and when they abort themselves they cannot no longer hurt anything so I appreciate that I like that John faith hygiene I want to say this the job for a man that's been through cancer you know you chapter 6 it says take no Thought saying what shall we eat what should we sleep and I just stop right there and say this is the way you take a thought is when you say it if you don't speak it it doesn't release its power death and life that's the power of the tongue so quickly in it and also it says in first Corinthians 15:33 that be not deceived evil communications corrupt good manners it's not only the words you speak but every word you hear is either releasing life or death faith or fear so we need to practice some faith hygiene that's a great word holiday meant hey thank you all for being with us thank all of our speakers here Jesse Duplantis Duane Sheriff John t love you man and thank all of you for being with us and again remember these broadcasts all next week be with us we are going to be encouraging you like this just countering all the negative things that are going on god bless you thank you for joining us we'll see you next time you
