Prophet Scott Shelton | Greater Faith Church

[Music] once you lift your hands once you lift your hands and let it be glorified in this place [Music] come on let's exalt him for a moment would you jesus come on every hand lifted in the building let it be magnified in this place my god we praise you my god we praise you my god we praise you we praise you we praise you hallelujah would you clap your hands unto the lord and give him praise just clap your hands are you thankful to be living for for god tonight hallelujah [Music] hallelujah the church is intended if you'd stand if you'd stand with me the church is intended to make an impact make a difference change something shake something up in every in every area of society the church is the most important thing in any society you have the absence of the church you have the full presence of evil and when the church is passive evil takes over someone once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing good men to do nothing and the church can never be caught in a place where we are apathetic uh complacent passive indifferent we have to be we have to be engaged and we have to set the tone for the spirit and the spirit world especially in our nation i before brother shelton comes i just had two or three verses that i wanted to read to you because i know uh they they put it out there in the nation in our laws and such that there is a separation of church and state that means that the state is supposed to stay out of the church's business but it doesn't mean that the church is supposed to stay out of the state's business well the church shouldn't get involved in politics we're not getting involved in politics but i just for those of you that think that what's going on in our nation has nothing to do with us and what's going to happen is going to happen and it's not a big deal you are you're absolutely wrong paul said to timothy i exhort you therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made of all men semicolon he's continuing this thought that these supplications prayers intercession and a giving of thanks should be done for kings and for all that are in authority that we may be that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty for this is good and acceptable in the sight of god our savior pray for kings let supplications and intercessions be made for kings and for all that are in authority in my lifetime i have seen some tumultuous times in america and i've seen them around the world i'm not part of the world war ii generation i'm not part of the vietnam war generation i'm not part of the world war one generation i'm not part of the crusades and and uh the overtaking of power of the ottoman empire i didn't live during those times but i lived during this time and there is a spiritual war for the soul of our nation and it is a spiritual war we've long since gotten beyond political labels and we've seen during this season that there wasn't a hair breaths difference between both of them now you say well then why did we care well because one side told you what they stood for the other side when they don't tell you you gotta you gotta take a step of faith and and do what you feel is right but when as he says many times when people show you who they are believe them and when they tell you what they stand for believe them when they tell you what they're going to do believe them and it was stated months ago that their agenda was to take away religious freedom they're not hiding that to take away your rights afforded to you by the second amendment being a gun owner and they're wanting to strip the churches of 501 c 3 status if they don't like what you're saying if they don't like what you're preaching when they tell you that they're not lying you can't look past that when they tell you they're okay with slaughtering millions of babies they're not lying about that we talk about covet i think 300 000 or so died in this nation or 200 thousand or 100 something thousand died in this nation allegedly when it was really less than 20 000 they actually died from covid but when they tell you that let's look at the millions of unborn children that are dying this very moment every minute every moment that ticks by an unborn child will never get the opportunity to enter into this world and they tell you they believe that they they believe that and so um i i'm thankful that we are mature enough as a church to get beyond political labels and see the spirit behind things that are happening here and we can't stick our head in the sand and we can't act as if we're we're just the church we can't we can't make a difference we can because the gates of hell and i'm not looking for a response here but the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church we are more powerful than any force of evil in the world greater is he i'm not looking for a response that is in you than he that is in the world the spirit of the world cannot overtake the church if we don't let it the spirit of the enemy cannot overtake the church if we don't let it brother shelton is coming and he may not go that direction but just based on what he said as he was closing the service this morning what a powerful service that was this morning i appreciate the man of god being obedient to the lord we are not interested in and just being religious and following some kind of guidelines and here's what we're going to do next and programming god we're apostolic we're going to flow with the spirit and we did the will of god this morning and i'm thankful for a man of god that led us into that so he's coming right now and as he's coming i um i want you to make contact with somebody if you're okay with doing that um just make contact and let's pray together i'm gonna start the prayer i want you to i want you to pray and the man of god is coming right now father in jesus name i pray that you would put your words in people's mouth i pray that you put your words in our mouth god and let us speak prophetically don't let us just speak fleshly words let them come from the voice of the spirit let them come out of the depths of your anointing put your words in our mouth in the name of jesus oh god i pray that you would help us to do your will in this place tonight help us to do your will so aren't you glad you made the decision to be in the house of god a lot of other places we could have been and if it wasn't for the love of god there's a lot of the places we would have been had it not been for him but since it was because of him here we all stand and i am most thankful for that give honor to bishop and sister nichols thank the lord to them big honor to elder jackson sister jackson thank the lord for them to brother brian nichols and his wife give on to them all these men of god that are on this platform i give honor to all of you and to the saints of god you ought to clap for your own self right now you can seat yourself in just a minute if you were british some of you would be sir drops a lot ah you can go ahead sit down i just wanted to have a little fun at your expense the book of ephesians chapter number five give honor to my wife my three little cherub children thank god for them [Applause] and we were out tooling around the city last night i told you about that earlier and uh my wife decided that it would be just a wonderful thing to allow sweet baby to call me and um poor little eliana she was just tore all the pieces just a crying and a wailing and i thought surely something terrible had befallen her but she was just missing her daddy what i said and she cried about it so much we had to facetime so that i was apparently so that i would be sure to know those were real tears and they were in fact dripping off of her and why it just was so uh infectious that it wasn't long that uh the lord of the manor little malachi was crying right along with her and what in the white world are you i want my dad and while i hate that it sure is good to be missed it's all i'm going to tell you you know there's some places you go and people never indicate one way or the other whether they missed you and you're kind of curious it's like okay i'm not coming back yeah you go home and if your little tribe isn't at the door malachi will if i terry in the truck oftentimes i'm on the phone if i wait in the truck too long with a little brother he just comes right on out gets out in the driveway and is knocking on my truck door climbing up in the truck he's not waiting and i have hung up on a lot of very important people for my children's sake and we'll continue to do so and i love my family i love my kids i love my wife i say it to her all the time if if god's going to take one of us before the other should we not live to see the rapture i pray he takes me first because i don't think i can live without her and uh and that's sweet and i tell her that all the time and she never argues with me i'm kind of thinking someday she's gonna say no baby it's me that needs to go first i can't but the sister never told me she can't live without me i know my kids like me and love me but they need her and so i i am just thankful for a good woman and um she's no pushover i'll tell you since i left home she's been giving all our furniture away and ripping up carpet and various other things she did not ask for my permission or blessing she didn't need it i love her well let's read ephesians chapter number five verse number 25 uh we're going to start there if you're ready say i'm ready oh they're cheating with that overhead stuff husbands i see y'all thought this was a marriage seminar don't you husbands love your wives not somebody else's husbands love your wives wives look at your husbands and say that's me um that was so powerful you think i'll drink stunning depth of wisdom there haven't even finished the first sentence we have fixed problems already husbands love your wife because in the end time you're gonna need her not that trashy thing you've been tailing around with you know who you are don't make me point at you even as christ even as christ also loved the church and gave himself for it you'd be willing to die for her hello you love your wife as unconditionally as christ loved the church he gave himself for his bride you be willing to give yourself for yours that don't mean wait until there's a threat of imminent death at the door that means every day you give up every day you quit being selfish for her yeah but she don't love me back that's not your problem you gonna go to hell if you don't do what god told you to do she go to hell if she don't do what god told her to do why that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word that he might present it to himself a glorious church not having a spot or wrinkle or any such thing but that it should be holy without blemish so what men oh they said powerful principle again so men i guess one of the implications in this little sentence is you're not a real man if you're loving somebody else's wife yeah hallelujah somebody pray my strength in the lord i got to get on to my subject matter so ought well there's just tons of stuff in this book if you just look at it so ought men to love their wives as their own bodies if she's sick you ought to feel bad too if she's disturbed you ought to be concerned about it he that loveth e.t.h continues to love his wife loveth himself for no man that means you got to put her first i think we just turned this into a marriage seminar where's john where's he at where's the brother at you know where he's at don't you they've been not there there's not be one day from here on you don't know where that little brother's at you put some spyware on his phone if you need to you got a right to ask questions you turned them lights up where i can't see you didn't you she comes first she's most important thing in your life okay oh for no man ever yet hated his own flesh but nourisheth and cherisheth it even as the lord the church for we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones john chapter 17 verse 9 this is jesus speaking he says i pray for them i pray not for the world i pray for them not the world but for them which thou has given me for they are mine you we are his are you picking up what i'm putting down let all the earth fear the lord let the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him if you were of the world the world would love his own but because ye are not of the world but i have chosen you out of the world therefore the world hateth you that's john chapter 15 verse 9 if you want to put that up there let the saints of god know i didn't make that up i am we're going to leave the live stream going for a little while here i don't know we'll see what will happen i would be a liar if i told you that there was never a moment that in my flesh i didn't have some trepidation or some question or some measure curiosity whatever you want to put on it as an adjective about the times we live in and you've heard me say to you many times we live in a treacherous time and bishop said it so appropriately a few minutes ago we are living in a world where the moral decay of our societies around the world has become undeniable anymore there was a time and i i don't know i think there are some things being done worse now but i doubt there's any new sin being done under this son that hadn't already been done in fact if you even took just a casual glance and look at history you'd find out that the grecians and the romans were more vile publicly and it was a matter of status and standing some of the things that they did than we are yet but we have been living in a world for a long time that has been decaying and the thing about decay is it happens profoundly and powerfully but so gradually that it's hard some time to even really discern or notice that it's going on until you walk out and whatever has been solid and stable and dependable for however long now is fragile and breaks and falls apart we've my sister and i have teased my mother a lot of times because my mom and my dad were from the school of preservation and they believed in wearing your clothes until they were what was called thread bear and i lie not when i tell you my mother has some little shirts that she wears over shirts and they are so threadbare that you can read through them and i'm like my god in heaven mother you are not destitute nor broke and we've been looking at these articles of clothing for 25 years do you think we might could do something else well when it wears out i will well to someone who saw it on day one and then came back and looked at it 20 years later the decay was noticeable uh blatantly so but to her the normalcy of putting that on and the habitual process of putting her right sleeve on first and then the left and doing it in such a way that you become so comfortable with it you don't even pay attention to it anymore and i think that we have as a church as the people of god we have become so comfortable living in the world we no longer take notice of the world and we have worn it for so long and we have grown weary of battle we have grown weary of spiritual warfare we have grown weary of the struggle and so we have tried to um i don't know inoculate ourselves against reality and and feed ourself this fantasy that normal will be with us for always and so while we're lying to ourself the kingdom of darkness has been living in the truth and the reality that their plan is to do exactly that to us cause us to no longer feel the need to be alarmed by anything and cause us to become so docile that we are willing to accept everything and we have if we had not been seduced into that mindset then when these outlandish things were first introduced to our societies as a human race forget nationality and racial divides and language divides as a human race we would have stood against it but somewhere before the decision-making process came to us the deception you'll never the enemy will never force you to make a decision until he's deceived you first so the deception always precedes decision and to get us to make the right decision for his agenda sometimes it takes decades of deception our hesitation to choose absolute truth is not because we want to stand in stark contrast to the kingdom of darkness it's because we are hesitant to choose absolute truth because we are not willing to stand in contrast to the christian community and to good people one of the things that came to us by way of the enemy was the challenge to tell someone that you were witnessing to that had never heard the gospel you're witnessing to them and then they say to you so you're telling me that if i don't participate in this new birth experience that you're talking about i'm not going to be able to go to heaven well that's what we're telling them but they personalize it and the enemy puts that thought in their mind and that sentence in their mouth so you're telling me your neighbor your friend your family you're telling me that if i don't do what you're saying i'm going to be lost and go to hell so in an effort not to be in so stark a contrast to them and to make everybody at thanksgiving uncomfortable and are to make everybody at the block party hate your house we have found a way to water the absolute truth down so that we feel good about telling them our conscience is soothed we can say to ourself i have witness to my neighbors yet we did it in such a way that it didn't put them in a position of making a decision their ability to make the right decision would have been enhanced in a lot of cases if we had taken the approach the enemy does and lived a life of separation in front of these people to give them some premise upon which to make a good decision but because we don't want to rock the buggy and we don't want to upset the apple cart or be the wacko in the room we found a way to wrap absolute truth in such a story that people were not opposed to hearing it and it allowed us to cohabitate with them the problem with that is god did not ever intend the church to get along with the enemy ever and he warned us of one of the tools and methods and strategies the enemy would use brother jones he told us he said in the coming war between light and dark remember this you wrestle not against flesh and blood that is an absolute truth written in scripture you wrestle not against flesh and blood yet the enemy in his sneaky strategic way cunningly found a way to make us not see that verse anymore and then made it unpopular to have a different opinion and then lied to us and said if you offend people with the truth the truth can't save them but the scripture doesn't say that the absolute truth of scripture says you shall know the truth and what and what he didn't say the truth would hurt their feelings and make them not want to be your friend and because he didn't mention it he left us with two inferences there one it don't matter if they like you after they've heard the truth telling somebody the truth is not synopsis with trying to gain a friend and you and i have got to get out of this mental warp that we're in that soul winning is about making friends first i was on the fire department and i never made friends with one person before i pulled them out of a burning house not one 2 30 3 o'clock in the morning and that fire truck pulls up and you pull up in the yard and then people in that house can't get out because they foolishly built their house in three separate wings beautiful home but the wings where they slept in the windows were that wide they were out in the country in the county no no regulations and requirements so the only way to get them out was to go through the blaze to get them and when you're standing out there putting your helmet on and your turnout's on and you're buckling it up all the way to here and you're putting your respirator on and you're getting on a hose and then there you go and it's so dark you can't see anything except the falling embers of fire as they're falling out of the roof onto your body and burning you sometimes on the neck you're not worried about who in that house likes your approach you're not worried about whether or not you got their favorite antique wet with the water you're not worried about whether you had to kick a door in to get them you just know i've got the help you need whether you even need it no you need it or not i got what you're looking for and if you'll come with me i can save your life that's the gospel message in our hands it's not about us making friends and influencing people we are not here to influence anybody we are here to pluck them out of the grasp of the enemy and rip them out of hell at the very last moment if necessary but save them paul said i have become all things to all men that by any means even making you mad at me somehow some way sometimes you've got to have somebody so mad at you that they can't get what you said out of their head for six months and finally at the end of six months it has eaten on them and eating on them and eating on them until finally conviction gets a hold of them and they find their way to an altar and [Applause] repent however the enemy knew all that he knew how powerful the story of the new birth was because he was there at calvary when the reality dawned on him this may very well have been the worst mistake i could have made because the scripture says that if satan had known he thought he had the deal all worked out but the scripture says that if he had known he what he would not have done it so now here we are all these years later and the enemy knows if the people of god tell the story of calvary it's going to set them free you shall know the truth and the truth shall will definitely definitive it's a promise the only thing that could set anybody free is the truth and the first truth we need to be worried about telling people is the death burial in the resurrection that truth satan made sin funny in his path to our decision making his deceptive path included humor because humor allows us to live in a world of denial sometimes and laughter doeth good like a medicine well he knows the book and he knew if i can get them laughing they'll feel good the scripture didn't say what laughing what you were laughing about the scripture just says laughter doeth good like a medicine so the enemy knows if i can get them laughing man they'll feel good and if they feel good about something they'll embrace it that'll take time because they were raised with a strong moral fabric but i will erode that little by little by little by little and so he took sin and made it seem harmless made it seem funny he made sin seem vulnerable then he started another path of deception don't be a bully don't be a bully that grew and grew and grew started out as a gecko don't be a bully that grew into the fire-breathing dragon now of hate speech and all the while that he was weaving his tapestry to make our belief and stance for truth seemed like that of a bully he was taking the most vial of sins in making that seem like the victim and the target of our hate another thing he has done with his tools and his weaponry is make us believe we cannot live without them i know churches that have split because of stuff they read on their phones but even before iphones came along i know if churches had split because of what was said over the telephone he knew that to get his message feathered he would have to use technology so he did bad news was always the target of technology the telegraph the pony express news nobody ever sent a pony express letter i seriously doubt to say maybelle had a baby no no but they did send letters there's been an uprising here there's been a bad news but we needed to know didn't we so we could be what prepared so in his tapestry of deceit he caused us to somehow believe that the only way we the only spiritual creation in the world could survive was with information that we were getting from the ungodly in these treacherous moments we find ourselves yet alive on today i'm going to tell you that less than 10 percent of the church is in the prayer room and in the word trying to find out what to do to be prepared for what's coming in the next few days it seems more natural to embrace this stuff than it does to turn a blind eye to it and set my face against the wall and say until i hear from god i will not read another text until i hear from heaven i will not read the news until i hear from heaven i will have no other earthly conversation with another flesh and blood person about the times i find myself in until i've heard from god we're not doing that we are not doing that so whose agenda are we feeding into the most if we're only listening to sources other than god whose agenda narrative and conversation and talking points are we facilitating the most he that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit has to say so there have been things that have happened down through our country's history that i personally believe we've looked at them and history's been kind to them but i think that we have looked at different things that have happened grotesquely unjust things here we are on the eve of the birthday of martin luther king if you ever wanted to know what a lack of justice was look at our history as a nation and even before what was done with slavery look at what was done to the american indian this country has been somehow another targeted by the enemy because it has also been targeted by god we have been goaded by the enemy into doing some very horrible things in the name of settling your country the trail of tears ends in the city i live in and even all these years later have you all ever heard of the hanging judge hold your hand up you ever heard of the hanging judge it was judge parker his gallows yet stand in fort smith arkansas he hung them by seven at a time his jail where he had them in the dungeon below ground surface is still yet there you can go in it i've been in it i've walked out and looked at the gallows and on one hand there's a part of every person that loves justice that looks at that and says well i guess they had they got what they had coming yet there's also a part of you that has to say i wonder how many were hung unjustly we don't look at the starkness of that seven man gallows and think some of them were hung for drunken behavior disorderly conduct some of them were hung because they were told on that they had done things they hadn't actually done and so they hung them seven at a time judge parker did and the u.s marshals are building a museum there in fort smith and across the river there into oklahoma is what was considered the badlands is oklahoma and when they marched all the american natives through our country the trail of tears we celebrate all kinds of trails in this country we talk about all kinds of things this parkway and that trace and this deal and that thing and oh it's just wonderful but we have managed to somehow wash out of our history the trail of tears and you go there and you stand on the hill where the original fort smith was built some of the foundation and footprint of that is still there and you look across the arkansas river late in the evening with the sun going down and you can just almost hear the cries of tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of american indians that were forced to cross a river without any real chance for survival for many of them how many of them drowned and floated face down down that river and got hung up in the brush on one side or the other how many children's lives were lost there are things in our country's history that are grotesque but not just ours every country in the world we're not but somehow the enemy wants us to believe that we are the worst country in the world and for all of the problems that we've gotten all of the things that we have done that were terrible we are not by far the worst country in the world there are things being done all over the world right now on this moment human rights are being violated in countries where christianity is already against the law and people are being persecuted and slaughtered for believing in god people have had to learn all over the world as we will too in this country someday most likely have had to learn how to receive the baptism of the holy ghost whispering as they speak in tongues because the neighbors hear it they're going to call and turn them in why because of another thread and that tapestry of deceit money it's the root of all evil the love of it if we'd have known what that really was talking about had we just known we'd have taken a stand a long time ago against some stuff but the enemy said celebrate wealth celebrate it make people feel like they can't be happy without money make people feel like they can't have a successful life or have a successful career if that career choice does not bring them loads of money send your children to college make them get a degree in a field that will return to them great money and we have taught our children i don't care if you like me or not i i don't care but we i've told my wife she said are our children going to go to college i said if it's the will of god they are but i'm not making my kids go to college just because i think they need a degree now brother shelton you're going to cause problems at my house then go pray but we've taken god out of everything we just decide when our children are two or three years old oh you're going to college that's cause you selfish and want them to pay for your retirement i would rather malachi be a trash truck man and happy and serve god and do the will of god than to be a neurosurgeon that hated his life cheated on his family was a whoremonger brother shelton you can't believe that look in my face do i look like i'm confused about what i'm telling you and we have bought into this thing and we have had this time in our past to lay down the foundations that if you're going to really be somebody you've got to pay attention to image and you've got to pay attention to how much money you've gotten you we've equated stuff with success and that's never been the way it was with him and so it's no wonder that the enemy can use money to get a neighbor or a family member to call the authorities and tell them those christians are at it again you can't blame that on the devil we bought into the lie that money was that important we bought into the lie to do anything to get ahead financially whatever it costs you to get ahead do it sell out your own family and they do it and if you are naive enough to believe it's not coming to this country when we've got people driving the streets of this city all of 2020 looking for people not wearing masks and we overlooked it because covet was so dangerous brother shelton you better not and i'm going to tell you something else don't you even think it i'll come get don't you start with me and try to intimidate me with that nonsense about you you're you're you're not being serious enough about covid you're making it out to be people have suffered i've suffered because of covet but i suffered because of cancer too my daddy died of cancer my brother died of a aneurysm in his lungs we all ain't talking about that but the enemy says you better not say one demeaning thing about covid you know why because that's one of his primary end time tools to get you into a frenzy of fear where you will do exactly what he wants you to do and i'm done with it [Applause] somewhere along the way there's got to be an alamo moment in the child of god's life somewhere you and i have got to realize i've got to stop backing up and start making a stand here i've got to tell the enemy i'm not going backwards any further than right here this was my last backward step i'm not moving from here except to go forward but but the scripture says now as janie's and jambries withstood moses and aaron the enemy's got a response to a lot of stuff we do and the enemy can withstand us to a certain point but there came a point for those of you that don't know janie's and jamborees were some of the magicians that moses and aaron were having to deal with in pharaoh's court as children of israel getting ready to leave town and uh there came a point however you know the story of moses threw his staff down they threw theirs down they all turned to snakes then moses gobbled them up really wasn't that much of an astounding victory really that got the children of israel delivered because hey at least we turned our our staffs turned into snakes too but there came a point where janies and jamborees go back and tell pharaoh we can go no further what they've done this time we we can't do that and all we can tell you boss is that this was done by the hand of god this this was god that one they've been telling you about now you've seen it for sure i'm telling you we don't have any of these tricks in our little magic pouch and soon after that you know the story of the exodus of the children of israel took place but the enemy has copycatted us for decades we have a you know a history where we were the holy rollers well they didn't want to be holy rollers and we were pentecostal they didn't want to be pentecostal they're going to be charismatic are they going to be uh evangelicals or whatever but then they saw the blessings of god on the church jesus plays favorites he always acknowledges his bride above every other harlot in the room and what we've been mesmerized by out there all these pseudo-mega churches we've been mesmerized by that we've been trying to duplicate that jesus is looking at it and saying why are you trying to be like the harlot that's trying to get me to cheat on my own bride with them do you not understand that's what's been going on for decades they have been trying to get god to have an affair on his own bride and we want to be like [Applause] them i'd rather wear bib overalls and have one tooth in my head singing amazing grace and everybody making fun of me but being affirmed by my father the husband of my life and have miracle signs and wonders over all of this other stuff any day but again in his tapestry of deception he's told us you had some success with your stuff and look you're even so good at what you do now y'all remember the days when they no longer wanted to be the charismatics now they want to be pentecostal wait a minute why why did they decide all of a sudden better than that they wanted to be pentecostal now they made fun of us when i was a kid in high school in the 80s you almost felt ashamed to have tell anybody what church you go to uh the norfolk pentecostal church i know the people officers don't know because if if you say it right pentecostals almost sounds like feminist church and we've tried to find ways to blend because my friends were gonna make fun of me if they knew i was one of them yet when their duplication of our methods could take them no further as janies and jamborees found out then they became like the sons of skeva let's see can we buy this thing let's see if we can emulate their process to the point that we can get some kind of goosebump going in our churches and then when people clamored to their ability to enter and let's not be panicking about it all they've done is entertain people for decades it has not been god it was never god the doctrines of devils has woven itself into the entertainment industry in the church don't you lie to yourself for five more minutes and tell yourself that the only entertainment industry is in hollywood and in the cinema it's in the church and quite honestly it probably started in the church [Applause] amy simple mcpherson and catherine calvin and a.a allen and jack coe and william branham they were all sensationalists and they wowed the crowds and drew them in by the thousands and tens of thousands and made money doing it so the charismatics realize and we used to say that all time then we got to the point you can't take charismatics you say what you want to well i got the mic i'm going to say what i want to those unbelievers many of them who some of you in this room have idolized god showed them the truth how do you think they got as close to what we are as they did they got a revelation somewhere they were hungry somewhere back down the road and they got close enough to feel the glory and to see it at a distance and then decided that the cost brother baptist was too much and we're not going to pay that price but if we can camp right here inside of it [Music] and then the church got just horn swaggled we feel something when they preach we feel something when they sing right and i said it not long ago but the enemy we've got this all backwards we think that we're just drawing praise and worship stuff from them but you better be careful what you're singing that came from them because some of it hold on with you amen just second some of it was designed by hell to get strange fire on the wrong altar you better pay attention to what you're singing and doing what's your bible for that well there's some old preachers you say glad you asked nehemiah goes to rebuild the wall laid in ruins as a result of the doctrine i can't press hard enough to pass judgment on them i prophesied all i know to prophesy and i cannot prophesy judgment on them well then how we going to destroy them balaam's doctrine was get them to no longer see their enemy as their enemy and get them to take wives out of a strange land but then the enemy comes to us in our modern day and says that's culture's behavior we got the branch davidians and we got david koresh and we got uh tony alamo and we got them nut jobs laying up on top of a mesa out there somewhere in utah or idaho drinking dope and whatever waiting on a comet to come pick them up and because we don't want to look and sound and act like them we decide that it's okay to ignore absolute truth like be not unequally yoked together with an unbeliever i ain't your bishop but i'm going to tell you something if that thing you hot after don't serve god i didn't say don't come to church if that thing you think you can't live without won't worship god you better turn your buggy around and go the other direction just as hard as you can go because when that thing is over with they are going to drag you down to hell right along with them i'm tired of us being afraid to tell our young people no you cannot marry an unbeliever i will not marry you if you marry an unbeliever no but then in this tapestry of deceit he said to some gentle soul decades ago if you take that kind of a stand with them when they get into trouble they won't come back well if you'd have had a backbone in the first place they might not have got in trouble later i am done ignoring bishop these spineless preachers i'm sick of them they're a dime a dozen you can get them out of a catalog you can order your own kind special maid you can tailor make your own i'm done with it if you don't have enough spine in your body to tell the truth out of the word of god then sit down and shut up do not talk to me anymore we are not living in a playground we are not living in peace times anymore there's a war going on and the tapestry of deceit is beautiful it is sometimes it's even wrapped itself in the red white and blue and the enemy had so done his work several years ago and principally i agreed with it i may have told you this i don't remember who i've said what to but our governor governor huckabee at the time great man really really a good man and he did well for our state but he passed he got our our state congress to pass into law a law that said parents who smoke cigarettes could not smoke in their own car with a child five and under in the car because of the dangers of secondhand smoke now i'm gonna lose some of you right here i know i am oh i'm gonna lose some of you right here i had a problem with that not because i don't care about the children but if you've got that much power to get that past why not just outlaw cigarettes altogether why not wage a campaign until the state's broke whatever why not push it and push it and push it until you run out of options to get the sale of tobacco illegalized so that even grown people don't have to sit in a car with somebody huffing and puffing until you burn my house down i don't want to smell it either i'm 52 and a half i don't want to smell it but it passed and a friend of mine said what is your problem with that we're saving the lungs and lives of the innocent all the while in my blessed home state the natural state of arkansas while we don't want them to get second-hand smoke we didn't have a problem shoving a pair of scissors into the base of their brain before they could inhale on their own before they were out of the womb we had no problem shoving a mechanism up into that womb of that mom and hitting a switch and turning on a series of blades that chopped that baby into pieces and there's a spirit that says to me right now standing right beside me saying you're going to offend someone in this building if they've had an abortion let me tell you about you if you've had an abortion i stood in front of a woman to pray for her one night she was sitting in the chair and every time i'd reached to pray for her i could hear baby screaming and crying because she had been told i didn't know she had been told that's the only choice you've got and every day of her life she lived in torment because she could hear the sound of a baby screaming and the enemy was telling her that's your baby you did that you did that i'm gonna tell you something i'm sorry if you've had an abortion but there is hope for you now but god can restore you when i asked the lord that night why is she screaming out and falling out what is this he said i'll let you hear and he let me hear that baby he said now you ask her if she wants me to heal her mind and her emotions and from that day to this she's never heard that baby scream again and god gave her another child and she's raised that child and another child in the kingdom do you know why we don't take a stand for absolute truth because we're not sure of what else to tell them we won't preach against abortion because we're afraid that we will offend someone no i will offend you if i don't tell you it was wrong and i will offend you if i don't tell you god will heal you god has that it is if you've ever listen if you're in here and you've ever had an abortion i'm telling you that innocent baby is in the hands of an eternally just god and that child's okay the only one we need to worry about right now is you and god will heal your mind god will give you a peace you have never had from that moment to this and so little by little he's used our patriotism against us i remember where i was the morning the planes hit the twin towers in new york i remember the phone call i got from the individual i got them from have you seen the news no what is it get somewhere and turn the news on and we all watched that we're alive that day does that story unfolded now the enemy being this strategist that he is said these were american hating people from foreign lands and he caused us to feel justified in our hatred for people we would never know somebody knows the truth about 9 11. i don't but in our efforts and attempts to as we did in arkansas with these unborn these these underage children make them safe we allowed our government to run free and establish homeland security i don't care what you call me i don't care if you think i'm a conspiracy theorist i really don't care but if you think that in the chaotic days immediately following the 9 11 events where thousands of our fellow citizens were slaughtered if you think in the rapidly unfolding events that came upon us they had time to lay out all the parameters of what the homeland security division of government was going to be if you think that all was birthed in the moments while the smoke was still rolling from the ruins in new york then you deserve to live the rest of your life happy and naive that was on the table long before it was ever needed statements have been made by nancy pelosi never let a disaster go to waste and the enemy and his tapestry of deceit has caused us to believe that was about politics it has never been about politics it has always been about the silence of the lambs us my sheep know my voice and the enemy has been trying to get you to shut up as long as god has been trying to get you to speak up but since we won't stop talking he had to give us something that felt close enough to the real thing to make us talk about it to obsess over it to pray about it and so when homeland security came guess which party was in power in the white house george w bush a republican christian but because we had been so deceived for decades to believe that everything that assembled itself under the banner of christendom was our brother we could not see past the facade of man to see the workings of evil and so incrementally our freedoms have been taken taken taken taken and the theme by which they have always taken our freedoms is it's for your own good have you paid attention to some of the idiots in dc the most intellectually challenged human in this room is smarter than two-thirds of the people that we have voted in to office my god i could do a better job than half them folks and i can't even talk good english like right there i said i can't even i use phrases like i don't know come here from sicum and even the i could do a better job but there's always been a parallel world at work at the same time mars was we're the church i read to you what the church was earlier no man hates his own flesh god doesn't hate his own bride why would a child of god be afraid of current events if we believe that absolute truth are they going to be comfortable days ahead of us no and i'm going to tell you something it wouldn't be comfortable no matter who ends up in that white house by the middle of this year i was getting texts just before i came to the pulpit from people that i i have a lot of confidence in and and there are very disturbing things that are being told to me that are that are brewing and and there's a part of me that's like yeah finally thank god and and then there's another part of me that says but hold on a minute now i'm going to be honest with you about a few things and i again i'm not trying to be ugly and hateful and i get stuff said about me on the internet all the time so i don't even care if you are going to judge what i say from this point forward from a political perspective get your junk and get out now because i don't want to have to feel your spirit pushing on me i'm not talking about politics i'm talking about the times and the seasons but politics is one of those weapons it's a golden calf you better not talk about politics because if you're anti-republican these people won't like you and if you're anti-democrat these won't like you and if you're anti-libertarian they won't like you if you're opposite of the the independence they're not going to like you well if we hadn't been worried about that all this time it wouldn't be an issue now if we had realized that what fellowship had light with dark but we hear that statement made and immediately somebody wants to know well who's light the republicans of the democrats all of these things that we're talking about were established before the republican party ever came into being before there was an elephant or a rhino or a donkey or anybody else with something stamped on a piece of paper or before the supreme court ever existed there was a high court before the chief justice ever existed there was a chief justice and he really is just and fair and the bible told us early on make your petitions known to him quit looking to man to fix your problems quit looking to the government to feed you quit looking to the government to help you and to secure you and to make you safe quit looking to man one writer said that if i find in this world i have hope only i am of all men most miserable but we've left the chief justice and gone to the supreme court if man can buy it you can't trust it if man can appoint it you can't trust it if man can vote it in you cannot trust it and i like our democratic society but when you obtaining an office is dependent upon people liking you you have just right that minute jeopardized your ability to take a stand for truth if you want to be elected worse than you want to tell the truth you can never be trusted again you know why people don't get elected to office because the enemy knows if they get into office they are going to take a public stand for righteousness and truth and i cannot allow them to have that kind of influence over a group of people we've got a congresswoman in new york that made a statement the other day and said it's time to go after the conservative traitors and let's make auschwitz look like child's play and it was such a vile tweet somebody in her office apparently pulled it down and now when you click the link it's not even there either but she said let's go after the conservative traitors and make auschwitz look like a playground do you know who the conservative traders are it is not the republicans she was not talking to anybody but the devil that drives her was talking to everybody that takes a stand against his demonic agenda and what you and i better come to a realization of is all of this stuff you're hearing in the news from politicians and everybody else it is the power of darkness that's speaking through them i don't care if they're a democrat or a republican you better leave your political party at the altar and get into the body [Applause] but in this tapestry of deceit there's a thread in there where he wove it tightly wrapped it around a lot of things and that thread says you need the government to feed you to clothe you and then he sends along covid and he says i'll confirm what i've been telling you i'm gonna lock you down i'm gonna make you realize how badly you need 1.9 trillion dollars 2 trillion a trillion i'm going to again because we've made money the god that it is and the deceit of need we all just rejoice like happy little barefooted country people when we look in the bank and there's our six hundred dollars a person and then we're sitting on the edge of our seat waiting on round two round two round two round two come on back and come on back come you know what they're gonna do they're not gonna send you money they're gonna buy you off and father legitimize the lie that we need them but to believe that to embrace that i must abandon scripture i have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread i'll never leave you nor forsake you and the cool thing about it is heaven don't need support our congress's vote to take care of his bride [Applause] i think i told you this now i know i'm on the internet and that's fine i want it on there i am a second amendment lover well i just have a problem with that yes you do because i don't and your problem's not going to be mine i love guns i got me a gun belt i had made in tennessee down around pigeon fours i look like hoss cartwright for the size of me i never have looked like little joe but one thing ties low heebo and i got good man i got to the point i could take a quarter put it on the back of my hand stand you can say go and i can draw that gun and have it in your face before that quarter hits the floor don't you let the girth fool you i was so good at it one night i was standing up i was at my grandmother's house she was out of town i was standing in front of this full-length mirror practicing well her big old german shepherd went nuts and i read neckarized a threat and when you read nicaragua something that means you realize as a redneck you better get armed so i armed it up i'd been dry firing a little ruger blackhawk you know i armed it up and i went on the prowl i strutted around out there like a bandy rooster you hear me i'm just ready to go there was no threat and if there was i'm sure they were laughing their head off at me prancing around out there like i was going to do something well i went back in the house and i forgot oh yes that that bad boy was loaded and i was on the phone with a friend of mine i'm just i'm just practicing practicing and i saw a blossom of orangish red fire come out of the end of that gun i stood there and i said my god i've shot myself there was no blood but there was a need for clean up on aisle three i thought i'd shot myself just sure as the world turns it didn't deter me though i went about doing a little inspection and i found out that that bullet had gone through that mirror and that wall through an entire rack of my grandma's clothes uh-huh hallelujah thankfully there were some i found out later she was gonna give away anyway and had put them aside to be disposed of so i reckon i disposed of them and when that bullet exited the other wall there was another mirror just like the one i had been in front of so it went through this mirror those clothes that wall that mirror and embedded itself in the wall about that high above her pillow yes that's what i said too thankfully she was miles and hours away visiting my family my mom and dad so i set about at about 11 30 in the pm because on the morrow she was returning home would you believe the hand of god was so with me i found two mirrors just like the two i had destroyed bought them there was yet a little decal up in the top left hand corner the one in her room so i carefully went and put a pot of water on the stove and began to boil it and i took that glass and held it over that steam until it loosened up and the lord was so kind and he helped me take that decal off there and put it on her new mirror i forgot about a verse of scripture about be sure for your sins we'll find you out about five years later at a christmas gathering i patched that hole in her wall i couldn't even find it but she saw it and she very slyly with a grin made a statement about that hole just above her bed yes ma'am i'm so sorry i love my freedoms i love the rights that i have not just my second amendment i love my first amendment i feel more of a threat against my first amendment than i do my second amendment we are more willing to let them take away our very first given amendment than we are to think about relinquishing our right to keep and bear arms why do you think that the first amendment is under such fire right now because there is creative power in the spoken word of god and the enemy knows he can't stop the power in the word so he knew from the very inception of the world there will come a day that i will have to silence the lambs but i'm not going to cut off their ability to talk about him i'm just going to make it necessary to do it in a certain way and so little by little by little he has eroded our absolute stances he caused us to compromise truth if you've never been to washington dc and been through the holocaust museum you should go and it would keep you from being willing to listen to somebody mark the slaughter of millions of jews and it would also cause you to raise up a standard and say never again are you going to make that statement and not be called out for it where was the collective voice of the church when statements like that have been made why haven't we called them out about it because even i i hope to god they hear me say this even our very own supposed apostolic brethren speak against things that we're talking about things i'm preaching about they have begun to mock anybody in the church who's questioning the goings-on in our country now am i telling the truth people we know people that have preached in some of our very powerfully apostolic churches are making comments on the internet demeaning and bashing and and diminishing anybody in the church that's currently out loud asking questions not making proclamations asking questions and when our own brethren are turning against us and it's not just no-name people it's big names in the organization people that are really influential i'm influential bless god you think i'm kidding i've got influence with god i can pray right now and ten thousand angels will start moving on my who what what are you talking about you're influential you don't need some several celebritized individual in the organization to know your name you need to know that god knows your name and you've got influence with heaven i'm gonna land the plane here in a minute i don't know if a government shutdown's coming or not i don't know i don't know if martial law is coming or not god hadn't told me it was or wasn't so i'm going to tell you the truth i've kind of made a few preparations because i don't have a word from god one way or the other what is or is not going to happen i feel something tugging in my spirit but it's not something he's told me to publicly broadcast so since he hadn't told me not to we went shopping the other day and added a few things to the pantry it was no big deal though but i've been buying toilet paper for months you're not catching me no y'all know what i almost said didn't you [Applause] you'll catch me in no precarious predicament no no um i had the money to buy it i'm buying my wife said what are you doing with all that nothing yet i got plans for it are you with me god bless you you've endured so much i'm paying attention i'm being aware taking some precautions because god hadn't told me not to i have a preference about what i want to see happen in this country but i also have something that predates that it's called god's plan and as i have told you and your bishop has told you and the elders have told you there will come a day it's not going to matter i said it not long ago right here in this very place it will not matter someday who's in the white house it's not going to matter the will of god is going to ultimately be done and the only thing standing between us and the rapture is the end time so what why would we not be ready let's go for god's sake the enemy says yeah but if you all do that if you go into the end time that's going to be no it's not going to be forever heaven's going to be forever the end time ain't going to take but a minute in comparison to heaven i've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread i have a personal opinion i've got my own ideas about how the joint ought to be run i know what i think needs to happen but at the end of the day jesus had an opinion too in the garden but at the end of him telling god what he wanted to see happen just like i'm telling god what i want to see happen i now have to pray the rest of his prayer nevertheless not my will but thine be done thy kingdom come thy will be done in this earth in this earth as easily as it's done in the heavens it is not okay for a child of god to be more patriotic to our kingdom than we are submitted to his and you better not let your patriotism for this country get in the way of you being saved and being involved in god's kingdom the right to keep him there arms come second to go ye into all the world and tell the gospel [Applause] the lord asked me weeks ago months ago are you loyal to your country lord thou knowest and i am i've prayed for every president i can remember whether i liked them or not bill clinton didn't get voted in as president he got voted out as our governor we were sick of the brother and that but we were like satan had we don't my god oh slick willie took it out didn't it boy he just went right on down pulled out his agenda and just went after it locked stock and barrel and look at the mess we're in right now i didn't like him when he was our governor spinning us into oblivion crooked corrupt are you kidding me but he was my president and i had to pray for him or be lost because scripture said to do it and if joe biden ends up in that white house with what's your name miss harris kamala our father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name i'm going to pray for them too because i still live in this country but i may not pray the same prayers for them as i prayed for some that i liked because they're okay with murdering innocent children that are yet in the womb so i'm not going to pray that blessing going on i'm going to pray god stop them at every turn let the righteous stand up god stay their hand don't give them leeway to cause mayhem in this country ahead of your timing and i'm gonna tell you something you can sit there and stare me down all you want to but if you can get behind somebody that's okay with sucking an innocent baby out of the womb there's something wrong with your salvation brothers i got a problem with you saying that i got a problem with you having a problem with it [Applause] we got any babies in here somebody holding a baby mother jackson standing up holding that little child just stand right up there hold that little baby up anybody back here got a baby you got a baby stand up with that child if it's under two years old stand up oh god anybody over here got a little child are they all in the nursery huh would we would we stand by as a people if somebody in the white lab coat came and plucked this baby out of this mother's hands uh-uh gonna have a problem i don't even know the child's name but i'm not gonna stand here and let somebody come and rip this child out of this woman's arms and murder him why have we stood silently by and let him do it in the womb you can sit down you can miss it because that tapestry of deceit has wound us up so tight we can't even see truth anymore in our own mind we can't even see it much less know what it is for the world and i'm going to tell you something about all of you that might not have a problem with abortion in certain circumstances does prayer not work in those certain circumstances are we not people of faith do we not believe in healing do we not believe in miracles do we not believe in signs and wonders do we not believe that god has the ability to do anything that when the doctor says there's no choice you've got to go back to that ageless book whose report will you believe but i've only got oh i've only got one report brother shelton no let him that hath in the ear hear what the spirit is saying about what about what the doctor's saying you've heard the doctor's side now get in an altar stay there until god tells you how to deal with the thing in front of you we have justified murder it's murder it's murder and if you are okay with somebody doing it you are an accomplice to murder you're not gonna scare me there's somebody over on this side you're not gonna scare me i preach like this in houston last year early on and they shot the window out of my truck at the hotel overnight you don't scare me i am sick to my gills with intimidation done with it they hate the president i don't care if you like him or not you ought to be thanking god for the last four years i'm not going to tell you how to vote the next election cycle around here i don't care if it's for dog catcher but i can tell you this if we all knew what the book said and if we all had to fear god and if we were all submitted and if we were all obedient nobody would ever have to say a word in church about what to do and what not to do and we would all vote the exact same way if that book was our absolute law but because we've allowed the enemy to negotiate and navigate us around the importance of the word of god we no longer conduct our lives in business by the word of god you know as well as i do a vast majority even in this assembly are a little intimidated to take a bible out at work to take a bible out on public transportation take a bible out on an airplane in the airport take a bible out in a restaurant that's why some people just love the fire out of electronic devices because we can read the bible and nobody know if that's the case you ought to get the biggest family size bible you can find and tote that puppy around until you overcome your intimidation and the fear of your flesh and your need to fit in and realize god did not call you to get along with the enemy and to fit in with him satan has always looked for the kind of leaders that he can put in government that have a spirit of ahab because jezebel is the tail that wags the dog he never needed jezebel to be out front he needed jezebel behind the scenes her power was not being out front her power was in the malicious lies and all of the nonsense that she propagated from behind the scenes hey go tell that prophet i'm gonna hack him into pieces like he did all my servants if she had wanted that brother then she could have got an assassin as close as she got a messenger she didn't want him dead no more than the church wants you dead then then the enemy wants the church dead the enemy doesn't want to abolish the church he's trying to change the message he will let us remain and will not challenge us as long as we change the message he's not trying to wipe the church out from being visible he is trying to destroy us from within so that if what we preach in here can be manipulated we will never take a stand for it out there money he's he's allowed wealthy people to come into the church and then he says to preachers you need them i had a man tell me one time he said i have 14 millionaires in my church and i wish they would all leave he said i can get past every devil in the world but i can't get those 14 on board with nothing nothing wrong being a millionaire i think there will be more of us than there are but in that tapestry of deceit he has woven the deception of importance of money and taken it out of its significance to the kingdom and made it significant to us one of the things he's done is make us self-preservationist what was the majority of the praying going on during 2020 concerning covet did anybody in this room pray god let me go ahead and get it lord would you go ahead and just slip a brother a little dose of that no we didn't pray that i'll guarantee you every human in this room prayed in some fashion or another lord keep our family safe well something wrong with that brother shoulder nah it's okay to pray it but don't live paralyzed the scripture does that timeless book does say something about he that seeks to save his life shall jezebel hates the president of the united states hates every truth loving human in this country just like they hated the three little hebrew boys what was their response to government mandates and edicts ain't gonna do it i know they were from arkansas because that's got to be how they said it we ain't gonna do it now what was daniel's response same thing nah that ain't gonna be my playbook i'm gonna keep doing exactly what i've been doing what was david's response to his trashy little wife when she was all embarrassed about his worship he told her you trashed your thing have you lost your mind i was shouting and dancing and carrying on like this before i ever knew you are your daddy when i was out there with them nasty sheep i behave like this if you think a palace is gone but the problem is the palace does change the praise and so the enemy and some of us don't have enough god-given sense and discernment to know the difference between a blessing and a bribe and so the enemy's been bribing us with blessing so it seemed and now we don't want to jeopardize what we've got we've been having to borrow the world's music because people like you come along and pastors won't stand up and tell them you will not go among the heathen and prostitute your gift and then tore your little fence up up here for the love of god i can't my ocd kicks in you get a gift in the church and you get prostituted use you up till we can't get anything else out of you then we throw you on the trash pile we have entered an age in the church where it is no longer okay to blend jezebel is out to get the truth the other day some of prosecutors in georgia have decided now that they may just go ahead and pursue legal charges against the president from meddling and for meddling in the run are you kidding me choke me with a stick he made a public comment and that's meddling and y'all down there pushing buttons and flipping things around and you don't know nothing about it brother shelter you know what don't you challenge me get your head out of the dirt and realize this is not mayberry you probably can't remember a time in any of our living history that any of us were alive when something was completely fair and above board been cheating and carrying on and conniving and backstabbing and gossiping and tail bearing for decades but ain't nobody going after the rest of it but our president makes a statement i don't care if you like him or not our president makes a statement about the elections down there and everybody wants to jump up in arms do you know why because the enemy and i said it a little bit this morning i feel you tightening up on me so i'll drop the plow and come back around the enemy needs an ahab in the white house the enemy needs an ahab at the vatican the enemy needs an ahab in italy the enemy needs an ahab in germany the enemy needs an ahab leading every superpower in the world because the spirit of jezebel has got an agenda and cannot do it as long as jehu's in the land we're scared of ahab at the palace in jezebel in the palace but the secret that we don't know is jezebel is terrified of jehu out on the road and i'm going to tell you something i've been thinking about that little sister must have spent some time observing him because when nobody else knew who that maniac was coming jezebel took one look out the window she said oh god nobody sets a horse like jehu that's got to how did she know that was him the same way hell knows who you are all the church world can sing and play the same song but there's something different about the praise of an apostolic there's something different about the worship of a jehu there's something different about the preaching ministry of a jehu there's something different about an apostolic that's not just a judeo-christian but an apostolic and hell hates you so what is what is jezebel's answer to jehu attack him nah jezebel knew if i attacked jehu that joker is gonna stick a blade in me but i got to get him out of my way so what am i going to do with jehu well what did she do you better be careful when everything besides god starts trying to dress itself up and look picture perfect to you jezebel knew the only chance i got to survive this encounter i mean he's coming to town how did she know he was coming for her the same way hell knows the church is coming for it it's our season do you hear me listen to me i know the next few days are going to be interesting and i know if biden and harris go in we're going to pray for them and we're going to abide by the laws of the lamb but the laws of the land do not supersede the mandates of the kingdom you may change what i can say on the street but you cannot change what i feel in my heart what i'm saying in my mind you can't stop me from worshiping you can't stop me from having faith in god you can't stop us from prophesying you can't stop us from proclaiming truth but the enemy's trying to get the church to the place that we believe if what's happening in the land does not go a certain way that we've lost our power do you not know that the darker the night the brighter the light then you go ahead and be a doomsdayer all you want to but i'm telling you right now he said it this morning my preferences may or may not be met in the days ahead but my kingdom allegiance is not going to waver and i'm looking for the coming of god more and more and more and more every single day [Applause] we wrestle not against flesh and blood and if your takeaway from all this this evening is brother shelton has a problem with a certain political affiliation then you didn't hear anything i've said there's not one person in this world i hate but there is a lot of the enemy that's being manifested in people that are trying to influence the direction of the world and if it's god's timing for all of this to happen i'm on board with it fine no problem because there's not going to be a day that god finds out i'm more i'm more patriotic and dedicated to my country than i am his kingdom i'm not going to choose the second amendment as the hill i die on if they come to my house somebody said the other day well what are you going to do with your second amendment rights if the government shows up at the front door wanting all your guns i'm going to tell them what the gun case is so you're not going to go down guns are blazing no i've got a kingdom mandate to keep on living because the gospel work has still got to be done i'm not some militia madman that's just going to go out here and just tear everybody up i'm going to protect my home with my second amendment but if the day comes i've got to choose between that and god's kingdom i made that decision a long long time ago let them tell us you can't have your church anymore yes i can no we're taking your church no not unless you're taking my life you're not because i am the church and that's what we know they don't know they think they'll destroy us if they take take my building every time you look in history the gospel will spread more rapidly when there was not a building to confine it and i know some of y'all been saved since the womb but there was that one old song hit me with your best shot my god matter of fact you all know how to play that somebody up here knows brother bright don't you be then i think about little bonnie ray let's give them something to talk about i know y'all sanctified and washed by the blood then i think about that country song well you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything you've got to be your own man not a puppet on a stream well brother shelton i just can't get on board with that well i got another one for you kenny rogers saying you got to know when to hold them know when to fold them know when to walk away know when to run you never count i got past the message went right on out into iniquity there's going to be times god's going to say turn around walk away and then there's going to be some other times he's going to say hey run don't let your pride make you take a stand when god says run and don't you let your fear make you run when god says take a stand hello somebody you will always be called on and required by god to take a stand for truth always but in the days ahead we're going to have to go back to another biblical proof a word fitly spoken the spirit of jezebel is running rampant in this world and i have said this on multiple occasions to you and here i am yet again on tonight saying it again we can no longer need to blend with our surroundings the world if you think we've got consternation about the days ahead what do you think those that don't have jesus are feeling right now if the church has had such fear concerning covet for the last 11 months what do you think people without god have felt and i'm going to be honest with you we've missed a great golden opportunity for harvest and ministry to the lost because we were afraid to talk to anybody unless we get covered to live as christ to die as gain and if you ask me where brother shelton what do you say about those that have got it and going on to be with the lord they got there ahead of the rest of us that's what i got to say about it i'm weeping because they're not here with me but i'm not weeping about where they've gone they got there ahead of me i'm a little bit envious of some of them you better get your minds off of politics for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers principalities rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places we have dealt with powers principalities but we are now dealing with national strong men princes of nations the battle has moved on hold the grounds you've gained but the battle has moved on into different arenas now we're we're fighting on a whole different level now and we're not just dealing with the regional prince here or the city strong man or whatever around here you've got authority with that hang on to that but god is calling the church to step up and begin to pray prayers on a national level we have got to pray for this country there is a spirit of the enemy that is missing in its hierarchical structure over this country in the last few months of last year this church among others began to pray and push and pull pray and push and pull and battle the gates of hell and i personally am of the opinion that god gave the church victory over the prince of this nation but from the moment that happened the world has gone nuts in this country people that would have never said some of the stuff they're saying publicly are saying it publicly now when you've got social media giants exercising the authority that they've got to shut down your ability to speak clearly and they wouldn't have done it two years ago you know why jezebel is thinking i've got i've got that i've got that man gone i've got that but what she don't understand is it was never about donald trump but it was about the spirit of god in the nation and it was about a man giving the church courage do you not understand what i'm telling you god used even even the president of the country to say to the church be bold be brave take a stand speak your mind be who you are be the church i'm going to say this as kindly as i know how you've got your feathers in a ruffle every time i say his name and every time i mention what he has done and how god has used him well i just don't believe god will use somebody that's that vile and unclean well then tell that to the donkey that talked to a prophet tell it to the worm that ain't a gourd down to get a prophet to do the will of god tell it to the whale that swallowed a prophet to get him where god wanted him do you honestly think god needs some tongue talking hair long to the floor pentecostal to get something done in the earth if he can use a well a worm a stick a stick he took a prophet and threw a stick in the water and an axe head rose to the surface if doc can use that why didn't you why do you think he couldn't have used our president i am shocked at the level of resistance i can feel pushing back on me from people in this building yes because they want to make this about politics and i'm not going to do it god has given us a space of time to get back to the basics of our identity and to quit being so blooming image conscious and quit being so caught up with the image that we have painted for ourselves and he gave us time to get back to our biblical book of acts identity and if it took a heathen in the white house to hold back the stem of of the enemy's onslaught and stranglehold the enemy handled i do not care who god uses to do his will i'm just glad god still loves us enough to do his will among us and there's gonna be people in the kingdom that are gonna there are people in this room that don't even realize how close they are to losing their soul over the way this thing turns out in the next 60 days if donald trump goes back in there are at least five people on this side of the building that their soul may be taken and and destroyed and you may not see them in this building anymore but if if biden goes in there's just about the same amount of people that are going to end up with their soul in jeopardy and they be lost because they didn't get their way and how in the world can i get behind you don't have to quit thinking about it you've got to get behind a man for god's sake get behind god hello somebody we're not rallying behind a man or a political party we're trying to get behind god and if this is all about a man i don't need donald trump he needs god i don't need joe biden he needs god they need us worse than we need them hello they need the church worse than the church has ever needed them but if god has to send a cloud of termites to eat congress down he'll send a flock of termites in there to eat the building down around them constitutionalist no not first second maybe first first first time not a constitutionalist first present yourselves therefore unto god which is your reasonable service a living sacrifice and you know why some people are having such a problem with the way things look like they're going right now is because you're having a real problem the real problem is not with the political winds that seem to be blowing or not blowing the real problem is you're having a problem becoming a living sacrifice you cannot be sacrificed without a blade you can't be sacrificed without death you can't be sacrificed without an altar somewhere and the problem that the church has is nobody wants to be a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto god which is our reasonable service our first service is not to some country a constitution though i love both my first act of duty and service is to the kingdom of god would we argue over politics and let 10 people go to hell no no i love my country i'm proud to be an american where at least i know i'm free i won't forget the men who have died and gave that right to me i honor our soldiers and our veterans past present and future but not more highly i honor dr king but not more highly than i honored gt haywood a man that put his face in his shoebox and shook the world his face in a shoebox in a dung field stable in l.a dr king lifted the people out of the bondage they had been in and thanked god for him but then god said that's not the end of the journey i got the end of that journey not only includes one people but all people gt get your face in the book get your face in the box start praying and i'm gonna bring a revival that'll follow on the heels of all of these other things and i'm going to deliver the world from sin all of our patriots that have given their life for our red white and blue freedoms elder jackson i thank god for them but not more not more than i thank god for cp kilgore i got a phone black and white picture on my phone of cp kilgore stepping into that pond in oklahoma and all the snakes going out the other side those are the elders that i honor highest that's the kingdom i want to be part of the most and this country is only going to be blessed if our first allegiance is to the eternal kingdom and will of god it don't matter if they put gomer pyle in the white house it don't matter if it's peter cottontail hopping down the bunny trail at 1600 pennsylvania avenue it don't matter if it's dumbo it don't matter who it is it don't matter if it's shrek it don't matter if it's donkey it don't matter who it is what matters is the will of god being done in the earth and that being my first priority it's perfectly okay to have an opinion and a preference but it is not okay for that of mine to supersede the will of god we talk about it do we not we we discuss it we have conversations about it i i have my own preference i like our country i like our freedoms but so far the only prayers we're praying are god preserve us we have not yet begun to pray even so come quickly and according to that book somewhere along the way we're going to have to start praying that stand with me all i'm saying to you is we are fighting greater demonic spirits now on a national level than we have ever fought before ever you have a right to affiliate yourself with whatever political party you want to that's part of the beauty of this country do what you want to do but don't bring it into the kingdom don't center your prayer life around your politics because the greatest most supernatural move of god the world has ever known is coming the question has been asked many many times i just don't understand what god's waiting on well there were 120 that were still there when god finally showed them what he was waiting on 500 started we are in a season where scripture's being fulfilled even now everything that can be shaken will be shaken and the scripture says there's going to be a great falling away from where the world no they already fallen from the church they're going to be people that are going to lose their soul over the politics but gonna do it it's gonna happen period well you're very encouraging brother shelton it is encouraging because i ain't gonna be one of them from here on in there's going to be a lot of stuff that rubs us the wrong way quit getting close enough to let it get closer to jesus than you've ever been fight the good fight because we are dealing with demonic spirits the likes of which we have never dealt with and i'm telling you right now you ran jezebel out of here but she is still in this country and she hates the prophetic nature and spirit of the church hates it put your hand on somebody's hand or shoulder whatever is appropriate we need god you hear me we need god we need god to show us what he wants us to see tell us what he wants us to hear and blind us and and stop our ears up to everything that's not his will come on just i don't i don't even know what to tell you to pray i just feel like we need to pray for a few minutes i'm gonna lay the mic down bishop come get it when he's ready but we need to pray these are those days that we have preached about and prophesied about come on ah foreign you
