WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.599
This is truly the identity of a believer in the

00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:08.419
United States of America. Who is for you? You

00:00:08.419 --> 00:00:17.899
are nothing but the voice of liberty. God promised

00:00:17.899 --> 00:00:21.519
us in Joel 2 .28 to pour out of his spirit on

00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.739
all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring. Are

00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:27.440
we content for that promised outpouring? We equip

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.420
for that outpouring so that we may engage in

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:33.460
that very outpouring. I'm Philip Buss. And I'm

00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:36.240
Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast today. We

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.240
have just made a new friend. Just recently, he

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.100
came to visit us. His name is Sri Virabhatami.

00:00:44.909 --> 00:00:47.750
I think I said that right. I'm real close. Anyway,

00:00:47.950 --> 00:00:51.090
he's from India and God has sent him here as

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:54.210
a missionary to the United States. And he has

00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:57.030
even become a citizen of the United States of

00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:59.789
America. He's married to an American and they

00:00:59.789 --> 00:01:03.109
have three children. And God is sending him around

00:01:03.109 --> 00:01:07.230
the 50 states to bring the pulpits of America

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:11.260
back to where they are supposed to be. He says

00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:14.000
it was the spirit -led pulpit that made America

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.500
great, and it is the spirit -led pulpit that

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:19.620
will make America great again. And we just want

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:23.260
to encourage you to tune into this and get your

00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:30.299
heart ablaze also. Thanks for joining us today.

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:32.980
We're so glad that you're with us. I really think

00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:35.540
you're going to enjoy this. This is an amazing

00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:39.319
story of a man that God has brought here to this

00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.819
country. And just stay tuned. But before we get

00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:44.980

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:48.359

you to do in this outpouring that's coming that's

00:02:09.870 --> 00:02:12.550
bigger than anything we've ever seen or heard

00:02:12.550 --> 00:02:16.349
of. It's going to be glorious. So it's a delight

00:02:16.349 --> 00:02:20.389
to have you with us, our brother Sri Virabhatani.

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.560
I think I got close to saying it right. We so

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.939
appreciate you being here and that you just have

00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:30.840
come by the Spirit to join us today for this

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.860
episode. Thank you so much for being here. So

00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:36.659
happy to be here. Thank you so much for having

00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:41.060
me. And also being on these special grounds is

00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:45.539
definitely a great honor. Hallelujah. So the

00:02:45.539 --> 00:02:49.639
Lord has brought you here to America as a missionary.

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.979
from India. At least I think that would be correct

00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:57.319
to say. You were born and raised in India, and

00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.520
you were raised as an Anglican, but you were

00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.860
surrounded by Hinduism, and God sovereignly brought

00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:06.060
you here. Tell us a little bit about your background.

00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:10.539
Yes, I grew up in the Anglican background, but

00:03:10.539 --> 00:03:15.000
the church in India would be, you'll have Jesus.

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.379
And you will have the Bible and all of that.

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.060
But the following or the worship is primarily

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:29.280
influenced by Hinduism. And for me, the distinction

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.639
was not clear, not clear enough for me, at least.

00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:38.500
So I was just living like any other person. There

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:45.360
is no true Christian ethics. values of such for

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.020
me. So it catches on to you. And one of the things

00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:57.379
that I started building myself with is ego. And

00:03:57.379 --> 00:04:00.620
because of that, you would get into fights and

00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:03.960
you get in the street wanting to show who is

00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:10.000
tough. Yes, exactly. So with that chip on my

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.919
shoulder, I would go to college to become a mechanical

00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:19.759
engineer. So there somewhere, the seniors usually

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.459
rag you when you come in with an end goal of

00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:27.759
getting you more acclimated. But somehow my thin

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.220
skin couldn't handle it. So I lost it on him.

00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.519
And because of that, I got marked. Either you

00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:43.519
don't mess with him or don't let him in. So because

00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.899
of that, I had to find my circle on the outside.

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.300
You know, outside is always a danger. So my friends

00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:56.980
are like somebody that were wanted in 14 criminal

00:04:56.980 --> 00:05:00.500
cases or those are my friends now. Oh, dear.

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:06.430
So I'm living this life. In the front, it all

00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:10.430
looks so macho, satisfying my ego and all of

00:05:10.430 --> 00:05:13.050
that because, you know, everything is at the

00:05:13.050 --> 00:05:16.329
snap of my finger. But then comes the nights

00:05:16.329 --> 00:05:19.829
when you sleep. When you are all alone, then

00:05:19.829 --> 00:05:23.069
this thing comes to you. You know you are not

00:05:23.069 --> 00:05:26.860
all that, right? So that reality hits you. And

00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:29.980
I was wrestling with it, which would also lead

00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:33.220
me to the point of contemplating suicide and

00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:37.439
also making some attempts of it. In the middle

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.199
of all of this, one of my Hindu friends calls

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.600
me asking, hey, could you bring a pastor to our

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:51.389
house? My dad is about to die. So I consulted

00:05:51.389 --> 00:05:54.850
my parents, and they suggested a pastor. So I

00:05:54.850 --> 00:05:58.350
took that pastor to his house. And the pastor

00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:02.050
was counseling him, talking to him. But he makes

00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:05.149
this statement saying, who gave you the right

00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:10.649
to abuse your body? So that actually jabbed me.

00:06:12.170 --> 00:06:17.230
My friend's dad is dying because of throat cancer,

00:06:17.269 --> 00:06:21.339
and he was a chain smoker. So that is what the

00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:25.899
pastor asked him. And it actually hit me and

00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:30.019
hit me very hard. But because by this time, I'm

00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:33.079
already struggling with my own vices, my own

00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.120
addictions, my own substance abuse, all of this

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.560
I'm going through. So now suddenly this reality

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.319
hits me. What do I do with it? But my ego don't

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.839
want to submit to this thing, I guess. So then

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.610
I started going, somebody from the college near

00:06:49.610 --> 00:06:53.250
the campus area, they were doing this Christmas

00:06:53.250 --> 00:06:56.529
event, and they would reach out to me asking,

00:06:56.790 --> 00:07:00.110
hey, basically they would reach out to me asking

00:07:00.110 --> 00:07:03.250
for protection because they're doing a Christian

00:07:03.250 --> 00:07:06.209
event and there could be somebody coming in and

00:07:06.209 --> 00:07:10.329
harassing them. So I said, okay, yeah, just if

00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:16.150
anybody shows up, just tell them my name. Okay.

00:07:16.150 --> 00:07:19.670
Such was my fame then, anyway. You claimed a

00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:23.129
fame then. Yeah, yeah, there you go. But a couple

00:07:23.129 --> 00:07:26.009
of months later, this guy comes on the motorcycle,

00:07:26.329 --> 00:07:29.709
interjecting me as I was getting ready to go

00:07:29.709 --> 00:07:33.199
into the movies. to watch a bad movie. I was

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.819
watching, walking into it and he comes in between

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:38.379
and he's like, oh, I'm such and such. Thank you

00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:41.639
for helping us with our event. And so he so happens

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:46.540
to be the leader of that event. So he starts

00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:48.800
talking and I'm like, man, I need to get rid

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.699
of this guy. So I would say, you know, I will

00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:55.339
come. Just leave me alone. I'll come see you.

00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.180
So he left. I went to watch the movie. And a

00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:00.579
couple of days later, I went and saw him because

00:08:00.579 --> 00:08:03.740
I have the habit if I give my word, I'll keep

00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:08.540
it. So I go and he starts talking. And then eventually

00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:11.379
he starts presenting gospel to me. And I'm like,

00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:14.500
man, I heard all of this all my life. You just

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:17.759
don't need to waste your energy on me. That kind

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.379
of attitude. Of course, you know, I memorized

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:24.300
all the Nicene Creed, Apostles' Creed. Everything

00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:28.600
is in my head. I can quote better scriptures

00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:36.100
than anybody, most anybody around me. So then

00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:39.879
as I was walking out, this is what he said. Sri,

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.480
if you are struggling with something, why not

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:50.720
you ask Jesus to help you in overcoming it? So

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:55.750
that for me felt so... refreshing because I'm

00:08:55.750 --> 00:09:00.409
not reciting someone else's prayer or I'm not

00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:05.230
asking for someone else to pray. But I am directly

00:09:05.230 --> 00:09:08.909
going to Jesus with a unique prayer request.

00:09:09.370 --> 00:09:15.590
So somehow it just felt so right for me. But

00:09:15.590 --> 00:09:18.470
in my head, I made a commitment. I'll try it

00:09:18.470 --> 00:09:23.049
tomorrow. I'll get saved tomorrow, right? Yeah.

00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:30.870
But tonight is a party night. Yeah. But tomorrow

00:09:30.870 --> 00:09:34.570
comes. I was wrapped in my towel on my way to

00:09:34.570 --> 00:09:38.669
take my shower. In the shower is my wife. So

00:09:38.669 --> 00:09:42.129
there comes this gentle reminder. You said you

00:09:42.129 --> 00:09:45.250
were going to try. Wrapped in my towel, I'm like,

00:09:45.309 --> 00:09:50.370
okay. I would lift my arms up and say, Jesus

00:09:50.370 --> 00:09:55.950
changed me. Wow. That's all. That's all I could

00:09:55.950 --> 00:09:57.889
come up with because, you know, deep cries to

00:09:57.889 --> 00:10:00.669
deep, right? I know what I am struggling with.

00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:04.909
Yeah. So I was crying from that depth. And when

00:10:04.909 --> 00:10:08.110
I did that, it felt like a gushing wind came

00:10:08.110 --> 00:10:12.750
from about. And as the wind was coming in, something

00:10:12.750 --> 00:10:16.879
also got gushed out of me. Glory to God. Mind

00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.000
you, growing up Anglican, I have no clue what

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.960
born again is. But I don't know what has happened

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.539
there. But what happened is very clear to me

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:34.159
because if there were like 10 addictions, six

00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:38.320
of them are through my mouth. So my tongue instantaneously

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.870
got loose. Wow. So I got delivered from all those

00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:45.990
vices just like that. Glory to God. In that very

00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:48.529
instance, I can, you know, like I said, if I

00:10:48.529 --> 00:10:52.690
take two steps into the bathroom, is my substance.

00:10:53.690 --> 00:10:57.149
But right here itself, I got delivered. Wow.

00:10:57.669 --> 00:11:00.710
So I'm like, I know something happened here.

00:11:00.769 --> 00:11:04.669
I got to find, where is this guy who talked to

00:11:04.669 --> 00:11:09.960
me last? So I go to him and... I don't tell him

00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.240
anything. No, I don't tell nobody anything. My

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:17.360
ego is too big deal. But I got grafted into the

00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:20.720
ministry right away. In that very minute, I started

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.440
serving. I didn't even know I am into the ministry

00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.179
or whatnot. Started going to that Bible study,

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:30.580
bringing some snacks who are coming there. Just

00:11:30.580 --> 00:11:33.659
the Holy Spirit started breathing on it. And

00:11:33.659 --> 00:11:36.320
eventually it becomes youth retreats and so on

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.740
and so forth. Glory to God. That's tremendous.

00:11:41.299 --> 00:11:45.080
That's tremendous. So then you started ministering

00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.899
already right away and you started preaching

00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:52.440
in the villages and you met someone. Oh, yes.

00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:55.980
Yes. Yeah, that's a journey in and of itself

00:11:55.980 --> 00:12:00.179
because, you know, after this, so many people

00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:03.200
talking to me and a couple of them even. that

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.539
I would respect would come, you know, God is

00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:07.879
calling you into ministry. I'm like, man, that's

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:12.399
not my job, man. I'm an engineer. I'll make money

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.879
and let me build all of these youth buildings.

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.340
Because, you know, we struggled a lot with those

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:22.139
buildings. Yeah. Then we were going to the, so

00:12:22.139 --> 00:12:24.940
I'm like, oh, maybe I should be that. God make

00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:29.720
me become that moneymaker so I can. build these

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.179
things for you and help your ministry. That was

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:35.399
my negotiation with him. Right. I'll do it my

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.279
way. Yeah. But he kept bringing this voice back

00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.620
to me. So at one point I decided, okay, because

00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:47.539
when I came to Jesus, I didn't come to him as

00:12:47.539 --> 00:12:53.299
a God per se, but I came to him like a boss man.

00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:59.429
So if he says something, I will do it. His word

00:12:59.429 --> 00:13:03.970
tells me I shouldn't lie. I wouldn't. That's

00:13:03.970 --> 00:13:07.490
how my relationship started with him. Well, that's

00:13:07.490 --> 00:13:09.970
what Lord means. It means master. It means boss.

00:13:10.149 --> 00:13:14.470
Yes. But I understood that if he says something,

00:13:14.590 --> 00:13:19.110
I should do. So now my thing was like, if he

00:13:19.110 --> 00:13:23.009
is really calling me to preach, I don't want

00:13:23.009 --> 00:13:27.549
to be against him. So for me to have that clarity,

00:13:27.669 --> 00:13:29.860
what I... Made a commitment. I'm going to move

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:33.620
back into my parents, which again, that was not

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:38.799
my place I wanted to be in. Right. But I moved

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.960
with this commitment. I told the Lord, I'm going

00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:47.039
to fast and pray. In this, make it clear to me

00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.399
if you want me to be a preacher. Wow. So I fasted

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.559
for 40 days. And 39th day comes and I'm like,

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:57.899
I didn't hear from the Lord because I told everybody

00:13:57.899 --> 00:14:00.220
God is going to tell me something. I'm going

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:02.720
to tell y 'all what it is supposed to be. But

00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:07.559
the 39th day comes and I'm sweating. And I would

00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.019
ask the Lord, why are you not talking to me?

00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.340
Why didn't you talk to me? Then the gentleness

00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:16.779
of the Holy Spirit is like, son, I spoke to you

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:21.700
on the day 13th itself. I want you to be my mouthpiece.

00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.440
Yeah, I heard that, but I was like, I wanted

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.419
to ignore that. I think maybe I'm assuming this

00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:32.460
thing. But then comes the big challenge. How

00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:37.299
do I preach this word? You know, I don't know

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:42.440
how to be a preacher. So I tried to go to different

00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.600
Bible colleges. I mean, God wouldn't let me.

00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.779
The Holy Spirit just wouldn't let me go, even

00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:51.940
though the offers were great. Then out of my

00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:54.460
frustration or my encouragement, whichever way,

00:14:54.580 --> 00:14:59.059
I opened two of the Bibles and opened my notebook

00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:02.399
and started writing them down as an engineer

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.500
and trying to connect. I don't know how to do

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:07.860
a Bible study, but I know how to study for engineering.

00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:11.860
So I started drawing connections from here and

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:15.179
from the book of Genesis and starting. Writing

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:17.860
the genealogy, word connections, I'm just going

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:20.860
through all of this. As I was going through that,

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.139
comes to the 16th chapter. Somewhere there, it

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:28.320
hits me. It is related to a story from Luke.

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:34.480
So I'm like, oh, maybe this is what they call

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:39.820
revelation. So now I'm like, I found my new fix.

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:46.350
So I would. I would study the word every day,

00:15:46.490 --> 00:15:51.070
16 to 18 hours. No friends, no going out, nothing.

00:15:51.389 --> 00:15:54.509
Just stayed in that same room. If I came out,

00:15:54.529 --> 00:15:58.169
I came out to eat. Now I've gone back. And I

00:15:58.169 --> 00:16:02.090
was going through all of those processes. And

00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:05.289
God starts, of course, almost two years into

00:16:05.289 --> 00:16:09.509
it. God opens the door for me to preach. And

00:16:09.509 --> 00:16:14.470
I started there and blow. God would breathe on

00:16:14.470 --> 00:16:18.149
it so much that all the denominations around

00:16:18.149 --> 00:16:21.269
me would open the doors for me. Wow. I mean,

00:16:21.409 --> 00:16:24.309
even to the point I am preaching probably seven

00:16:24.309 --> 00:16:28.370
to eight churches a Sunday. Wow. On any given

00:16:28.370 --> 00:16:30.750
Sunday, I would be preaching that. I mean, young

00:16:30.750 --> 00:16:34.110
and passionate. So somebody says, come to this

00:16:34.110 --> 00:16:35.990
village, I'm there. If somebody says, come to

00:16:35.990 --> 00:16:38.700
this town, I'm there. I would just go preach

00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:40.779
the word. In the middle of all of this, as I

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:43.580
was doing this ministry, as you have mentioned,

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:48.600
this young white lady from America comes into

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:54.019
our mix. We are traveling with her. I'm traveling

00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:56.740
maybe probably four, five, six times. We travel

00:16:56.740 --> 00:17:00.600
together to villages to minister together. And

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.299
then the Lord says, oh, that's the woman for

00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:07.500
you. Wow. No, can't be, Lord. This is not my

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:12.059
color, you know. She's too pale. There are so

00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:16.240
many things that I can say no about. Then the

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:20.160
Holy Spirit leads me. Go check the notes you

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.460
wrote, the points you have written. You made

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:26.460
your list. Yes, I did. I did because the Lord

00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:30.319
would teach me. I would ask him, God, give me

00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.289
this. this wife that you talk about so I don't

00:17:34.289 --> 00:17:36.329
have to sin or I don't have to do all of those

00:17:36.329 --> 00:17:38.750
things. Give me that virtuous, righteous woman

00:17:38.750 --> 00:17:42.549
that you talk about in your word. The answer

00:17:42.549 --> 00:17:47.170
to that was, son, if you are asking me for that,

00:17:47.269 --> 00:17:50.509
don't you think my daughter is also asking me

00:17:50.509 --> 00:17:55.930
for a virtuous, righteous man? Very true. So

00:17:55.930 --> 00:17:59.410
then I immediately, two things I concluded. One,

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.480
That virtuous, righteous woman is a guarantee

00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.119
in the kingdom of God. Then, instead of asking

00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.539
God to give me what he has promised already,

00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.880
I would ask him to prepare me to inherit that.

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.839
Beautiful. That's perfect. It's the capacity

00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.079
code. Capacity code, yeah. I would ask the Lord,

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:25.460
prepare me to be a husband material. Teach me

00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:29.819
how to be a husband. Well, I go back to the list.

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:37.880
And, you know, it's primarily all the list was

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.420
spiritual, but there are a few physical things

00:18:41.420 --> 00:18:49.279
also. But she fits the bill for 12 of them, but

00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:56.339
one. Okay. That one was height. Okay. She's taller

00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:59.900
than me. But even in that list, when I wrote

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:03.210
it, I had question marks next to it. Look at

00:19:03.210 --> 00:19:07.109
that. So the Holy Spirit was giving you questions

00:19:07.109 --> 00:19:11.589
on lists. He's so faithful. Yeah. Wow. At the

00:19:11.589 --> 00:19:14.849
same time, I think I had a conclusion there that

00:19:14.849 --> 00:19:19.089
God doesn't have a sense of humor, but he is

00:19:19.089 --> 00:19:22.950
humorous. Oh, amen. Amen. Amen. That's good.

00:19:23.170 --> 00:19:26.630
Yeah. That's good. That's the way I received

00:19:26.630 --> 00:19:32.119
the confirmation. She was leaving India. I thought

00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:35.599
she left. But one day morning when I woke up,

00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:38.819
the Lord would show me, give me the instruction.

00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:43.500
Today she will call you, make you peace. So that

00:19:43.500 --> 00:19:47.920
so happened to be my birthday. That's a kiss

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.839
from the Lord. Yes. So, of course, I was hanging

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.099
up on all the calls that came to my dad's landline.

00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.400
Thank you and click. But sure enough, by 11 o

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.279
'clock from New Delhi airport, she would call

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.099
me. That's her last airport before she was leaving

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:09.859
India. Wow. And in her conversations, she would

00:20:09.859 --> 00:20:12.779
say something like, it's good to be going back

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:16.619
to my hometown. And there I would tell her, it's

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:18.740
no longer going to be your hometown anymore.

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:23.880
That was my claim of her. Later on, she would

00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.720
reveal it to me that she totally understood what

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:31.930
I meant by it. Wow. Three days later, she would

00:20:31.930 --> 00:20:37.150
call me from the U .S. And then I would ask her,

00:20:37.250 --> 00:20:39.549
hey, what did you think of what I have said?

00:20:40.349 --> 00:20:46.049
And she was like, I will have to pray. So at

00:20:46.049 --> 00:20:49.569
that moment for me, that was like, I don't need

00:20:49.569 --> 00:20:53.650
to worry about this anymore. Because if the same

00:20:53.650 --> 00:20:57.160
father called me into this mission, Marriage

00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:02.660
for me is a mission and we both are partners

00:21:02.660 --> 00:21:08.160
in it. So he would speak to her also. I don't

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.059
need to force feed her nor force convince her.

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:16.680
So yeah, I left her alone with that. And probably

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:21.019
three weeks later, she would come back with a

00:21:21.019 --> 00:21:23.960
scripture through which God spoke to her and

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:27.880
gave her the confirmation. Beautiful. Wow. So

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.359
there was no big romantic getting to know one

00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.400
another? No, there was nothing romantic between

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:39.279
us other than the fact that Lord said, you both

00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.980
are what I have brought together. It's an arranged

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:46.539
marriage. Yes. Yes. Arranged in heaven. And that's

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:49.859
typical for your culture, is it not? Yes. Yeah.

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:54.039
In our culture, it's a very common thing. to

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:57.319
have an arranged marriage. So for me, it didn't

00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:01.920
seem out of the box in some ways. But the later

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.859
on journey comes, where are we going to settle?

00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:07.539
Where are we going to get married and all of

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:10.480
that there? As we were seeking the Lord in that,

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.200
it would be easier for her to come back to India

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:16.500
because she already has the visa. And then on

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:22.500
top of it, she has the plans to start an orphanage

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:26.829
there. And by this time, I'm a budding minister,

00:22:27.089 --> 00:22:31.009
and I'm just getting up to momentum in there.

00:22:31.630 --> 00:22:36.009
And it seemed so right for us to marry in India.

00:22:36.950 --> 00:22:40.369
As we were seeking the Lord on that, he would

00:22:40.369 --> 00:22:44.009
tell me, I want you to go to the U .S. Okay.

00:22:44.549 --> 00:22:47.410
So this wasn't because you wanted to go to the

00:22:47.410 --> 00:22:53.950
U .S.? No, no. Then as he says that to me, now

00:22:53.950 --> 00:22:56.750
I'm like, God, I can't convince this woman she

00:22:56.750 --> 00:22:59.549
is halfway here because she left half of our

00:22:59.549 --> 00:23:04.730
stuff in India. So I'm not going to do that.

00:23:04.809 --> 00:23:07.109
If this is something you want me to do, I'm willing

00:23:07.109 --> 00:23:11.869
to do it. But you have to convince her. So sure

00:23:11.869 --> 00:23:14.230
enough, after I shared it with her, a couple

00:23:14.230 --> 00:23:17.029
of days of praying, God would. Give her again

00:23:17.029 --> 00:23:19.390
a word of confirmation that she will take upon.

00:23:20.130 --> 00:23:22.789
Now, the visa process that we are coming through,

00:23:22.849 --> 00:23:25.529
we don't know anything about it. We have no pennies

00:23:25.529 --> 00:23:28.130
to our name. But somehow the Holy Spirit had

00:23:28.130 --> 00:23:31.809
to breathe upon it. Yes. And open one door after

00:23:31.809 --> 00:23:35.390
another and bring so many things to fruition

00:23:35.390 --> 00:23:39.430
that no man can make it happen. Glory to God.

00:23:39.470 --> 00:23:41.750
There's so many miracles that took place in all

00:23:41.750 --> 00:23:45.210
of that journey. After all those miracles and

00:23:45.210 --> 00:23:47.849
manifestation of those miracles, I mean, like

00:23:47.849 --> 00:23:51.730
a simple thing would be coming to the immigration.

00:23:52.849 --> 00:23:57.589
We have to prove to them we are engaged because

00:23:57.589 --> 00:24:02.710
coming on a fiancé visa. And the problem with

00:24:02.710 --> 00:24:05.809
that is we were never engaged physically. We

00:24:05.809 --> 00:24:09.549
were engaged spiritually. So there's no such

00:24:09.549 --> 00:24:13.799
evidence that I was engaged. So then we would

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:18.180
just, my wife, there was one picture for her

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:22.319
farewell dinner where I was sitting and she was

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.279
sitting next to me. And then there is another

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:28.819
pastor sitting next to her. And she would crop

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:31.720
him off from that picture and send that as our

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:36.099
evidence of being together. Okay. And that's

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:39.519
all we got in there. Holy Spirit had to breathe

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:42.839
on it and open the door for us. And it was an

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:46.680
18 -month process. While I was in India, she

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:50.559
was here. There was nothing physically, nothing,

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.779
not even movies. None of those things were involved

00:24:53.779 --> 00:24:56.980
in there. But the one thing that was involved

00:24:56.980 --> 00:25:00.779
in our calls regularly was almost every time

00:25:00.779 --> 00:25:04.079
she called, we would do a Bible study together.

00:25:04.339 --> 00:25:07.930
Beautiful. that allowed our spirits to be knit

00:25:07.930 --> 00:25:12.569
together. Beautiful. So it helped us, especially

00:25:12.569 --> 00:25:16.029
after coming to the U .S. in 2008, which is the

00:25:16.029 --> 00:25:19.609
peak of recession. Yeah, that was rough. Yeah,

00:25:19.630 --> 00:25:23.329
I'm not allowed to work. She's not getting good

00:25:23.329 --> 00:25:27.650
work anywhere. In the oddest of the oddest circumstances,

00:25:28.289 --> 00:25:33.089
we were still able to stand together. Wow. Because

00:25:33.089 --> 00:25:36.710
our spirits have been knit so much. Wonderful.

00:25:37.269 --> 00:25:40.990
And yes. Then what happened? Of course, we have

00:25:40.990 --> 00:25:44.269
three children now. Yes. Yes. So obviously it

00:25:44.269 --> 00:25:49.150
worked. Yes. But God provided a special miracle

00:25:49.150 --> 00:25:53.369
to enable you to get even a work visa. Yes. So

00:25:53.369 --> 00:25:57.569
that was huge. Yeah. There's a lot involved in

00:25:57.569 --> 00:26:02.029
it in the sense of I have to pay. about $1 ,500

00:26:02.029 --> 00:26:05.990
to get my work permit. That's amazing. With no

00:26:05.990 --> 00:26:09.490
permission for me to work. And she's not finding

00:26:09.490 --> 00:26:12.789
any decent work. And then that too I have to

00:26:12.789 --> 00:26:16.990
do it in a given time. It's about like 90 days

00:26:16.990 --> 00:26:18.970
or something like that after we get married.

00:26:19.109 --> 00:26:21.829
We have to submit the paperwork with all of that

00:26:21.829 --> 00:26:26.839
amount. Wow. We knew the principle of sowing

00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:29.759
and reaping. I know that sowing and reaping works.

00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:35.720
Yes. And the wedding gifts we got, there was

00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:39.519
money that came in our wedding gifts. So we collected

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:44.559
all of that money, and it's about probably a

00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:49.779
little bit more than $200 maybe. So that's not

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:54.740
$1 ,500. No, no. So for me, growing up as a farmer,

00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:58.240
I know seed is for seed. Seed is not for eating.

00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:03.700
So we were like, I told my wife, my wife is not

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:08.539
that familiar with the concept, but she loved

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:14.039
me enough to sort of trust me. Wow. To let's

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.220
go, let's do this thing together. So we took

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:20.740
that seed and started sowing. into different

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:23.799
ministries, different places, different needs

00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:26.839
that may have come. We were using that as a seed.

00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.019
Once we sowed the seed into all these different

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:33.619
places, one day somebody asked, what is it that

00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:37.279
you guys would need in this journey? We are praying

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:39.619
for this. And we would tell them, this is what

00:27:39.619 --> 00:27:42.799
we are praying for right now. And they were like,

00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.160
oh, we're going to write the whole check. Glory

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:49.319
to God. And again, for me, that is the confidence.

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:53.460
The same God that answered my prayers in India

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:56.099
is the same God that answers my prayers in the

00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:59.599
U .S. It's the same God. Wherever I go, it's

00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:04.460
the same God. My story of America is I lived

00:28:04.460 --> 00:28:07.880
through pretty much anything a typical American

00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.400
would go. Wow. You know, there were times I would

00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:16.039
do six to eight hours of hard labor. just so

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:20.539
that my wife is fed. That's my reward for that

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:25.299
work. So I did those kinds of things also. But

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:29.059
at the same time, the story is that not only

00:28:29.059 --> 00:28:32.940
that those things have come. my way, all of these

00:28:32.940 --> 00:28:35.900
oppositions that have come my way. But I can

00:28:35.900 --> 00:28:39.740
also say in those oppositions, look what the

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:43.700
Lord have done. Both of them are so true at the

00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:46.960
same time, where the struggle is true, God's

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:50.299
provision is also true. So my story is not only

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:53.599
a story of the struggle, but also how God have

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.960
come through in every area of my life. Amen.

00:28:58.730 --> 00:29:01.309
Amen. So you've been here for a number of years.

00:29:01.349 --> 00:29:04.630
You became a U .S. citizen. And in doing so,

00:29:04.650 --> 00:29:07.269
you had to renounce your Indian citizenship.

00:29:07.549 --> 00:29:09.950
There's no such thing as a dual citizenship with

00:29:09.950 --> 00:29:13.029
India and the U .S. Yeah. India doesn't accept

00:29:13.029 --> 00:29:16.190
dual citizenship. Yeah. Yeah. They're very strong

00:29:16.190 --> 00:29:18.950
about that. Yeah. It was a tough decision to

00:29:18.950 --> 00:29:21.410
make, not because I don't want to be an American

00:29:21.410 --> 00:29:26.529
citizen. My parents were too old. I was like,

00:29:26.569 --> 00:29:29.849
how would that affect them? How can I be available

00:29:29.849 --> 00:29:33.329
for them? What all I could do or not do? Those

00:29:33.329 --> 00:29:38.329
were my hesitations. But in 2016, by this time,

00:29:38.349 --> 00:29:40.910
the Lord started showing me so much about what

00:29:40.910 --> 00:29:45.549
is happening in this nation and what is the prominence

00:29:45.549 --> 00:29:48.769
of this nation and the church of this nation.

00:29:49.170 --> 00:29:53.089
All of these details are coming to me. And for

00:29:53.089 --> 00:29:56.930
me, it felt like if I really want to see the

00:29:56.930 --> 00:29:59.930
change, as we always say, you have to be in the

00:29:59.930 --> 00:30:03.329
system. You can't just talk from outside and

00:30:03.329 --> 00:30:06.410
say, expect it to change. So I was like, OK,

00:30:06.509 --> 00:30:08.390
I'm going to I'm going to take up on this thing

00:30:08.390 --> 00:30:11.410
to become a citizen. I leave my parents into

00:30:11.410 --> 00:30:14.049
your hands, Lord. That's the same way I left

00:30:14.049 --> 00:30:17.349
them when I was coming to the U .S., take care

00:30:17.349 --> 00:30:21.680
of them, which he did because my mom was. of

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:25.200
ill health. Doctors have told her that she would

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:28.759
die at least three times in my life. But God

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:31.400
miraculously brought her back to life in those

00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:36.119
cases. He has been faithful in protecting our

00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.880
family. So I'm like, okay, I'm going to take

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.720
up on this thing. I became a citizen. And then

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:46.859
I had to go even further. In some ways, there

00:30:46.859 --> 00:30:49.960
is always a price that you have to pay. It's

00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:53.720
not that we are taking away from the sacrifice

00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:58.559
of the cross, but the devil is not going to give

00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:01.660
you a red carpet welcome because you said, I'm

00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:05.299
going to fight the enemy. So there he will come

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:07.940
against you. You know, as the word of God says

00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:11.980
in this world, you will have trouble. It's a

00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:14.759
promise. It's a promise. I treat it as a promise.

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:19.019
I do too. So don't be surprised. Yes. Yes. There

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:22.740
was no surprise and had to take up on that. But

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:25.359
the most important and the challenging thing

00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:30.480
that really what just jostled me in many ways

00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:35.119
is when I was in India, the church in India,

00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.700
if you go typically, this is what you will find

00:31:39.700 --> 00:31:42.640
as a typical church. You will have this so -called

00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:46.250
Christian church. But all the worship in the

00:31:46.250 --> 00:31:49.190
sense, what I mean, it's not about singing songs.

00:31:49.309 --> 00:31:52.349
I'm talking about how marriages are done, how

00:31:52.349 --> 00:31:56.410
the construct is being done, how things get done

00:31:56.410 --> 00:32:00.230
in the system, in within. All of them would adhere

00:32:00.230 --> 00:32:08.259
to Hinduism. So this idol worshiping. strategy

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:12.359
or protocol is what gets implemented even in

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.400
the church. So while I was in India, that is

00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.359
one of the things that I would challenge them.

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:22.480
You know, this is not about I am talking against

00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.660
another religion or whatnot. That is not the

00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:27.339
point. The point is you are the temple of the

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:30.460
Holy Spirit. When you are the temple of the Holy

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:33.940
Spirit, this is your altar. And in this altar,

00:32:34.059 --> 00:32:37.480
if you are worshiping the Holy Spirit and also

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:43.240
a bell, you are losing your power. You are diluting

00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.740
the power that you would exert. That's good.

00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:49.839
I mean, that's clear. That is where my struggle

00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:53.119
was to encourage my brothers and sisters in India.

00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:55.720
It's like, you know, we can't do this and that.

00:32:55.819 --> 00:32:59.440
We can't worship God and bell and expect results

00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:05.029
from God. We cannot. Sure. So that's where prayers

00:33:05.029 --> 00:33:10.289
of authority usually don't work, especially in

00:33:10.289 --> 00:33:13.950
India, because, you know, the demons challenge

00:33:13.950 --> 00:33:17.529
your authority. They're very territorial. So

00:33:17.529 --> 00:33:20.049
they always challenge your authority. I mean,

00:33:20.089 --> 00:33:23.589
the basic scripture for that would be, Jesus,

00:33:23.789 --> 00:33:29.619
I know. Paul, I know. But who are you? You know,

00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.859
if you are challenging the demons, you best know

00:33:31.859 --> 00:33:34.880
your answer. You best know where you stand. You

00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:39.240
best know what you are coming in. And it's not

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.019
just about binding the demons. You cannot bind

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:44.960
a demon with which you are in friendship with

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:49.500
last night. Or I would use the salty word, kind

00:33:49.500 --> 00:33:52.200
of like with the same demon you were in bed with

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.299
last night. Now you're asking, I command you

00:33:55.299 --> 00:33:59.369
in the name of Jesus, get out. It doesn't work

00:33:59.369 --> 00:34:02.970
like that. No. So that is where we are not able

00:34:02.970 --> 00:34:07.690
to truly cancel the demonic engagements that

00:34:07.690 --> 00:34:11.889
do happen around us. So that was the big problem

00:34:11.889 --> 00:34:15.829
in India. Because of that coming in, it's always

00:34:15.829 --> 00:34:20.590
the cry. The church will be crying always. So

00:34:20.590 --> 00:34:23.710
that kind of saddened me so much. They're always

00:34:23.710 --> 00:34:29.119
crying as though they are outsiders. And then

00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:34.300
when I moved to America, my original thought

00:34:34.300 --> 00:34:38.340
process was like, okay, finally I will have a

00:34:38.340 --> 00:34:41.260
church where I can be like, okay, we can live

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:44.360
in the church kind of a thing. Finally, I'm coming

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.639
to my big brother so I can have that freedom.

00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:51.760
But as I came here and I started observing the

00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:55.360
church, what I found out is the same idol worship

00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:00.989
is still here. But the difference is it is in

00:35:00.989 --> 00:35:05.389
the most deceptive way in the church. Explain

00:35:05.389 --> 00:35:09.710
that. So it could be a very black and white example,

00:35:09.869 --> 00:35:13.269
but there are churches that I have seen, particularly

00:35:13.269 --> 00:35:16.550
in the city areas, they will do what is called

00:35:16.550 --> 00:35:21.289
yoga Bible studies. Yoga Bible studies. Come

00:35:21.289 --> 00:35:25.630
on. Yes. They're doing yoga while they're having

00:35:25.630 --> 00:35:28.769
a Bible study? Yeah. Sitting in the lotus position.

00:35:29.170 --> 00:35:33.309
Yes. That's absurd. That is absurd. So, yes.

00:35:33.670 --> 00:35:39.070
Mixture. Every position. Yoga is marketed as

00:35:39.070 --> 00:35:42.530
a form of exercise. Right. However. However,

00:35:42.789 --> 00:35:46.949
it is a form of worship. Right. Every posture,

00:35:47.110 --> 00:35:50.610
every position in there is you're inviting that

00:35:50.610 --> 00:35:56.429
connect to these external spirits. You know,

00:35:56.469 --> 00:35:59.570
that's why David gives the clear roadway for

00:35:59.570 --> 00:36:03.550
us saying, your word is a lamp onto my feet.

00:36:03.750 --> 00:36:06.989
Yes. So there is a revelation that would hit

00:36:06.989 --> 00:36:11.550
me in the dark. I was walking one day and I'm

00:36:11.550 --> 00:36:14.250
able to walk in the dark in the house because

00:36:14.250 --> 00:36:18.750
I know where everything is. Right. Now, the Lord

00:36:18.750 --> 00:36:21.789
would be like, if you put a flashlight in front

00:36:21.789 --> 00:36:26.059
of your feet, even though it is all dark. you

00:36:26.059 --> 00:36:29.199
can find where you can put your step. Right.

00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:36.099
So now, spiritual world is such. It's all dark.

00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:41.059
The only thing that can shine the light to you

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:44.619
to let your feet walk is the Word of God. Right.

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.780
Word of God. gives that light. Okay, if the Word

00:36:47.780 --> 00:36:50.920
of God says such, that is the light for you into

00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:53.860
the spiritual realm that allows you to connect

00:36:53.860 --> 00:36:58.099
with God the Spirit. Not any other spirits that

00:36:58.099 --> 00:37:00.920
are out there. Not everything spiritual is godly.

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.780
There are so many other principalities. The Bible

00:37:04.780 --> 00:37:09.019
clearly talks about it. Our war is not with flesh

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:11.579
and blood. It's not in the seen realm. It's in

00:37:11.579 --> 00:37:15.420
the unseen realm. So if your war is in the unseen

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:19.820
realm, how careful we ought to be in accessing

00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:23.739
or engaging or disengaging in the spiritual realm.

00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.940
Amen. Absolutely. Now, you've mentioned to us

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:32.019
when we were talking together earlier about your

00:37:32.019 --> 00:37:35.579
concern about Hinduism in Western culture, in

00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:38.400
America or wherever Western culture, particularly

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:42.360
in America. Yes. I mean, I would combine the

00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:49.840
Hinduism, Buddhism, this one blob in a way because

00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:55.639
they all follow the same DNA. Right. Say, for

00:37:55.639 --> 00:38:00.340
example, in Buddhism, the ultimate goal is self

00:38:00.340 --> 00:38:03.760
-rejection. That's what is nirvana. A state where

00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:07.000
you attain you don't need nobody, you don't need

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:10.380
nothing. But that is not how God has created

00:38:10.380 --> 00:38:14.820
us. God created us to be in need of him and in

00:38:14.820 --> 00:38:17.119
need of each other as the body of believers.

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.989
And that is where he wants us to come back. The

00:38:22.989 --> 00:38:26.690
other most important thing is they want us to

00:38:26.690 --> 00:38:29.989
come to terms with the pain, pain or loss or

00:38:29.989 --> 00:38:34.130
sacrifice, as it is part of your life. But that's

00:38:34.130 --> 00:38:37.429
not what cross teaches. Cross teaches, yes, in

00:38:37.429 --> 00:38:40.630
this world you will have trouble. But he says,

00:38:40.730 --> 00:38:44.929
but be of good cheer, for I have overcome that

00:38:44.929 --> 00:38:49.409
same troubling world. So the Christianity is

00:38:49.409 --> 00:38:53.840
about the hope of resurrection. Yes. Every other

00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.480
religion talks and wants you to take the reality

00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:03.380
of the sacrifice and live with it. But there

00:39:03.380 --> 00:39:08.320
is no true hope without Christianity. True. And

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:14.719
now the most saddened part of us is the church

00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:20.980
doesn't operate in his resurrection. We are always

00:39:20.980 --> 00:39:26.579
trying to fight not to die, rather being in a

00:39:26.579 --> 00:39:28.980
place that we have been given the commission

00:39:28.980 --> 00:39:35.219
to resurrect, breathe life back into things,

00:39:35.340 --> 00:39:38.099
because that is one of the biggest commissions

00:39:38.099 --> 00:39:41.260
for us as the believers, to be able to bring

00:39:41.260 --> 00:39:44.460
hope. We cannot bring hope without resurrection.

00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:49.030
Right. For we are dead. And our life is hid with

00:39:49.030 --> 00:39:53.230
Christ in God. So our life, we're walking in

00:39:53.230 --> 00:39:56.550
his resurrection life already, but we're really

00:39:56.550 --> 00:39:59.789
not walking in it the way I believe he intended

00:39:59.789 --> 00:40:02.869
for us to walk. Yes. I think we're missing something.

00:40:03.170 --> 00:40:06.550
Yeah, because we are just living like survivors.

00:40:07.070 --> 00:40:11.190
Oh, my. In many cases, this is something that

00:40:11.190 --> 00:40:16.469
I use as the churches have become cemeteries.

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:21.039
We are maintaining the dead rather than us being

00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:25.059
in a place where we are bringing the dead back

00:40:25.059 --> 00:40:29.139
to life. Amen. That is what the glory has been

00:40:29.139 --> 00:40:32.440
given to us. Yes, the glory. Start talking about

00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.519
the glory. Part of my journey that I am traveling

00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:40.059
on Pulpits Ablaze with all the 50 states, part

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:43.340
of the journey is about talking about glory.

00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:49.210
Yes. I see that as a commandment where he said

00:40:49.210 --> 00:40:55.150
to move his church from glory to glory to glory.

00:40:55.389 --> 00:40:59.050
There you go. So for me, I equate glory as to

00:40:59.050 --> 00:41:03.610
manna. Your yesterday's manna is not good for

00:41:03.610 --> 00:41:06.670
today. True. So the same way your yesterday's

00:41:06.670 --> 00:41:10.010
glory is not good for today. That's good. And

00:41:10.010 --> 00:41:12.789
then also I can also give you another simpler.

00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.800
mathematical equation, if you want to say. Okay.

00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:18.280
You know, we believe that Jesus is coming back.

00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:23.179
Right. So we also know that if he is coming back,

00:41:23.219 --> 00:41:25.579
when he is coming back, he is coming back in

00:41:25.579 --> 00:41:29.539
his glory. Yes. So in other words, we were closer

00:41:29.539 --> 00:41:33.659
to that glory today than yesterday. Yeah. Absolutely.

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.199
So that means we have to move into the greater

00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:40.630
glory and where we were even yesterday. But what

00:41:40.630 --> 00:41:44.489
we have conditioned ourselves is to live off

00:41:44.489 --> 00:41:47.469
of yesterday's glory. And a lot of the saints

00:41:47.469 --> 00:41:50.449
in the church, I see them praying, God, pour

00:41:50.449 --> 00:41:53.110
out your Shekinah glory, pour out your Shekinah

00:41:53.110 --> 00:41:56.769
glory. And even in this journey, when the Lord

00:41:56.769 --> 00:41:59.289
sends me off, he's like, can you tell my church

00:41:59.289 --> 00:42:02.750
not to pray for that place? Because I have done

00:42:02.750 --> 00:42:07.630
it already. This is where the Lord would show

00:42:07.630 --> 00:42:11.610
me about the glory that he wants to pour out

00:42:11.610 --> 00:42:17.110
the greatest glory the earth has ever seen. Yes.

00:42:17.309 --> 00:42:20.730
The greatest glory. And the purpose of that glory

00:42:20.730 --> 00:42:25.150
coming in is to usher in the greatest awakening

00:42:25.150 --> 00:42:28.329
the earth has ever seen. Yes. So each day should

00:42:28.329 --> 00:42:31.550
be, we should look at as greater glory. Yeah.

00:42:31.650 --> 00:42:35.610
Every day, wake up new day, greater glory. Yes.

00:42:36.030 --> 00:42:38.809
Absolutely. Yes. So tell us how the Lord called

00:42:38.809 --> 00:42:42.170
you into this journey around the 50 states. One

00:42:42.170 --> 00:42:45.769
of the most fascinating thing about this nation

00:42:45.769 --> 00:42:49.750
and the church in the United States is there

00:42:49.750 --> 00:42:53.230
is no other nation like this or no other church

00:42:53.230 --> 00:42:57.289
like this. True. The foundations of this nation,

00:42:57.449 --> 00:43:00.409
I would use always when I talk about the foundations,

00:43:00.650 --> 00:43:04.619
I always go back to the Mayflower. The reason

00:43:04.619 --> 00:43:08.900
why I talk about Mayflower, Mayflower is God's

00:43:08.900 --> 00:43:12.860
interjection into this land. He was bringing

00:43:12.860 --> 00:43:16.860
his path and his plan of redemption into this

00:43:16.860 --> 00:43:20.659
land. And there, the people that have come on

00:43:20.659 --> 00:43:23.679
Mayflower, as you know, they are not from the

00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:26.460
government. They're not from this high class.

00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:29.119
They're not from this class. They all belong

00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:33.760
to one church. And they came here. as a church

00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:38.119
to plant and propagate the Christian faith in

00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:43.380
this land. So that makes it very clear and distinct

00:43:43.380 --> 00:43:47.679
compared to what has happened in Virginia. Virginia

00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:52.039
came in as a government, as a governmental authority,

00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.780
whereas Mayflower people came in as a church

00:43:55.780 --> 00:44:00.869
with an act and a plan of redemption. So even

00:44:00.869 --> 00:44:03.570
though the Virginia people brought in some Christian

00:44:03.570 --> 00:44:05.750
values and Christian origin and such and such,

00:44:05.869 --> 00:44:10.010
whereas the Mayflower people purely came to bring

00:44:10.010 --> 00:44:13.889
the gospel for them to have the freedom to worship

00:44:13.889 --> 00:44:18.190
the Lord the way they are being inspired in within.

00:44:20.829 --> 00:44:23.650
There was a foundation that was laid onto this

00:44:23.650 --> 00:44:26.789
land for me as the Lord would take me back and

00:44:26.789 --> 00:44:30.610
show all these things. It seemed like he honors

00:44:30.610 --> 00:44:34.789
that as though it's a covenant. So it almost

00:44:34.789 --> 00:44:40.210
feels like America is similar to Israel, whereas

00:44:40.210 --> 00:44:43.130
Israel, God made the covenant with that nation.

00:44:43.369 --> 00:44:47.289
Whereas this, the people of this land made the

00:44:47.289 --> 00:44:51.949
covenant with the Lord. For me, in there, the

00:44:51.949 --> 00:44:55.190
way God showed me is I have honored this land

00:44:55.190 --> 00:44:59.050
time and time again because of the covenant that

00:44:59.050 --> 00:45:03.949
they made with me. Yes. So now, and when he honored

00:45:03.949 --> 00:45:07.309
it, how did he honor it? He always uses a vessel

00:45:07.309 --> 00:45:11.570
of bringing his manifestation. The vessel that

00:45:11.570 --> 00:45:16.219
he have used in this nation is pulpit. Pulpit

00:45:16.219 --> 00:45:20.000
is the one that has been used. So I use this

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:23.780
statement. It is the spirit -led pulpit that

00:45:23.780 --> 00:45:28.219
made America great. Wow. And it is the spirit

00:45:28.219 --> 00:45:32.619
-led pulpit that makes America great again. Amen.

00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:37.360
For me, that is the conduit, or I also use it

00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:40.820
as it is the portal through which God have entered

00:45:40.820 --> 00:45:44.599
his oracles into this land or his plan of redemption

00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:48.619
into this land time and time again. Yes. And

00:45:48.619 --> 00:45:51.860
no matter what you talk about it, anything good

00:45:51.860 --> 00:45:54.599
that have happened in this land is through the

00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:59.119
interjection of the church. The church had to

00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:03.210
lead the voice. Right now. We are in this spiritual

00:46:03.210 --> 00:46:07.650
impasse, who we are as a United States of America.

00:46:08.409 --> 00:46:13.170
Are we this big, ginormous superpower, military

00:46:13.170 --> 00:46:16.690
superpower, or are we this financial institution,

00:46:16.909 --> 00:46:20.150
or are we this, you know, all these definitions

00:46:20.150 --> 00:46:23.510
are out there, but all of them are at a stalemate

00:46:23.510 --> 00:46:27.949
because none of them can... work in this nation

00:46:27.949 --> 00:46:31.469
without the true foundation or the true machine

00:46:31.469 --> 00:46:35.309
running this nation, which is the church. The

00:46:35.309 --> 00:46:38.909
church is basically the foundation of this nation.

00:46:39.010 --> 00:46:41.829
And the church has to function, not only function,

00:46:42.010 --> 00:46:46.190
but it has to lead. Yes. And in this spiritual

00:46:46.190 --> 00:46:49.250
impasse, the only way that is going to break

00:46:49.250 --> 00:46:52.190
off is through that leadership coming from the

00:46:52.190 --> 00:46:56.210
church. So this is where I talk about Let the

00:46:56.210 --> 00:47:01.190
pulpits be set ablaze because through the pulpits,

00:47:01.269 --> 00:47:05.130
God wants to pour out his glory one more time

00:47:05.130 --> 00:47:09.469
upon this nation. And not only that, once it

00:47:09.469 --> 00:47:12.650
happens in this nation, I want us to imagine

00:47:12.650 --> 00:47:15.929
this great United States of America as the altar

00:47:15.929 --> 00:47:18.909
of the Lord. And now imagine all these pulpits

00:47:18.909 --> 00:47:21.949
are set ablaze. That means this altar is ablaze.

00:47:21.969 --> 00:47:26.260
And now the coals from this. altar, that fiery,

00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:30.380
filled with glory of God, those altars being

00:47:30.380 --> 00:47:34.860
cast from this altar into Africa, into Japan,

00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:38.039
into Jamaica, in all of these nations all of

00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:41.099
a sudden having a piece of that fire, not what

00:47:41.099 --> 00:47:45.159
we have now, but that fiery ball going from here

00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:48.300
would set the nations on fire like we have never

00:47:48.300 --> 00:47:51.659
seen before. That's why I am... telling it again

00:47:51.659 --> 00:47:54.460
and again, the greatest glory the earth has ever

00:47:54.460 --> 00:47:57.940
seen, which word usher in, the greatest awakening

00:47:57.940 --> 00:48:02.260
the earth has ever seen. Hallelujah. Set Scotland

00:48:02.260 --> 00:48:07.159
now on fire. Yes. Every land is out there. Every

00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:10.820
way it is out there. Yes. Highway, byway, everything

00:48:10.820 --> 00:48:13.739
is going to be set afire. Yes. But it has to

00:48:13.739 --> 00:48:19.420
start here. This is his entryway. And once this

00:48:19.420 --> 00:48:22.940
has the structure and the structural integrity

00:48:22.940 --> 00:48:27.139
for it to accept such a responsibility. Yes.

00:48:27.739 --> 00:48:31.119
That is why it is so important for us to understand

00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:35.780
what is this Hinduism or this pantheistic view

00:48:35.780 --> 00:48:39.360
is doing to us. You know, it doesn't look like

00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:41.679
a threat because, you know, when you talk about

00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:44.480
Islamism, it looks like a threat because it sounds

00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.480
arrogant. It looks like a takeover. But whereas

00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:51.039
the so -called Hinduism or so -called yoga or

00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:57.250
so -called this rejective religiosity. It feels

00:48:57.250 --> 00:49:02.849
like non -threatening, yet it is so much of a

00:49:02.849 --> 00:49:06.090
threat, not only threat, but it is a diluter

00:49:06.090 --> 00:49:10.110
because it is coming in a form that is acceptable.

00:49:10.409 --> 00:49:13.349
Right. Now, this is nothing but the Garden of

00:49:13.349 --> 00:49:16.829
Eden. Right. The fruit was so acceptable and

00:49:16.829 --> 00:49:21.050
so looking good and so attractive to eat. Right.

00:49:21.190 --> 00:49:26.059
So there is no true resistance to it. Yeah. And

00:49:26.059 --> 00:49:28.699
on top of it, God didn't say it doesn't taste

00:49:28.699 --> 00:49:33.019
good. That's true. That's not the commandment.

00:49:33.260 --> 00:49:35.840
So a lot of the times you might see all these

00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.420
things that come into you and you think, oh,

00:49:38.420 --> 00:49:40.460
it's fine. I think maybe it is helping me with

00:49:40.460 --> 00:49:42.940
this. All these kinds of things that we just

00:49:42.940 --> 00:49:46.679
get into. And the problem is you are diluting

00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:50.800
the true spiritual identity or the true spiritual

00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:55.250
DNA. If you are a Christian. Yeah. We always

00:49:55.250 --> 00:49:58.929
need to remember you are the temple of the Holy

00:49:58.929 --> 00:50:02.230
Spirit. Exactly. In other words, you are the

00:50:02.230 --> 00:50:05.369
altar of God or the pulpit of God at the micro

00:50:05.369 --> 00:50:09.269
level. Yes. And if the micro level pulpit is

00:50:09.269 --> 00:50:12.610
compromised, I bet you macro level pulpit is

00:50:12.610 --> 00:50:15.909
compromised. Yes. So now we have to come into

00:50:15.909 --> 00:50:18.969
this thing in two ways. Not only we are asking

00:50:18.969 --> 00:50:21.389
and putting a demand on the pulpit where the

00:50:21.389 --> 00:50:24.409
pulpit has to be resurrected and walking in the

00:50:24.409 --> 00:50:27.429
glory of God. We also have to take the responsibility.

00:50:27.570 --> 00:50:31.590
Every one of us has to walk in the freedom and

00:50:31.590 --> 00:50:35.889
to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Amen.

00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.699
Yeah, and like any other nation, this nation

00:50:39.699 --> 00:50:44.860
has the purpose clearly defined. So that is why

00:50:44.860 --> 00:50:47.659
one of the things that I do in my 50 -state journey,

00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:51.260
which, by the way, I started in July of 2025,

00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:55.360
and I was given the instruction by the Lord that

00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:59.260
I have to finish it by the July of 2026, which

00:50:59.260 --> 00:51:03.039
is our 250th anniversary. Yes. So, I mean, like

00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:06.889
God just supernaturally would say, go. And my

00:51:06.889 --> 00:51:09.650
thing to him was, I'm not familiar. I'm not a

00:51:09.650 --> 00:51:13.449
known person. I'm not all of this. But this is

00:51:13.449 --> 00:51:17.349
what I said. Here I am, Lord. Amen. I'm in. I

00:51:17.349 --> 00:51:19.929
don't know what all I can do for you, but I'm

00:51:19.929 --> 00:51:23.730
willing to walk this. Beautiful. And to his credit,

00:51:23.889 --> 00:51:28.030
his faithfulness, thus far, this state that I

00:51:28.030 --> 00:51:31.730
am sitting in, Arkansas is my 32nd. second state

00:51:31.730 --> 00:51:35.090
in this journey. And God has been faithfully

00:51:35.090 --> 00:51:38.170
taking me to every state capital. I go to every

00:51:38.170 --> 00:51:41.349
state capital. And then after I walk through

00:51:41.349 --> 00:51:43.690
the chambers or walk around the capital, whatever

00:51:43.690 --> 00:51:47.429
God leads me, I take a communion with the land,

00:51:47.590 --> 00:51:50.969
which again, what was taught with the redeeming

00:51:50.969 --> 00:51:55.110
of land, I enact it there. I live through it

00:51:55.110 --> 00:51:58.880
because this is where every blood that has been

00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.820
shed on this ground is crying out for vengeance.

00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:05.599
True. Only blood that is crying out for redemption

00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:08.840
is the blood of Jesus. That's true. So that's

00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:11.360
why we take the communion with the land. And

00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:13.920
as you do that, as I take that, the next step

00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:18.699
I do is I go to the state's replica of the Liberty

00:52:18.699 --> 00:52:21.150
Bell. Yeah, I didn't know there was one in every

00:52:21.150 --> 00:52:23.829
state, but there is. Yes, there is a replica

00:52:23.829 --> 00:52:26.449
of the Liberty Bell, which again, that's why

00:52:26.449 --> 00:52:29.909
I tell it again and again. What is on that Liberty

00:52:29.909 --> 00:52:33.449
Bell? Right. It's not just an iconic thing. It

00:52:33.449 --> 00:52:37.269
is a spiritual purpose that has been engrafted

00:52:37.269 --> 00:52:41.030
and etched into this nation. Yes. Which originally

00:52:41.030 --> 00:52:44.650
was the bell of a church. Right. Eventually becomes

00:52:44.650 --> 00:52:47.170
the bell of the state. And then eventually it

00:52:47.170 --> 00:52:49.769
becomes the bell of the nation. which is written

00:52:49.769 --> 00:52:54.469
in Leviticus 25, where it says, proclaim. Listen

00:52:54.469 --> 00:52:57.510
to that. Proclaim. Proclaim means you got to

00:52:57.510 --> 00:53:00.670
be all the more louder. Yeah, that's good. You

00:53:00.670 --> 00:53:04.070
got to be all the more louder. Proclaim liberty

00:53:04.070 --> 00:53:09.110
throughout all the land, which is all the United

00:53:09.110 --> 00:53:13.329
States of America. Yes. And to all the inhabitants

00:53:13.329 --> 00:53:17.670
thereof. Amen. Not just people. Anything and

00:53:17.670 --> 00:53:20.530
everything that is living, you have a responsibility

00:53:20.530 --> 00:53:25.010
as a purpose over this nation. If you are an

00:53:25.010 --> 00:53:27.309
American and if you are a Christian, you best

00:53:27.309 --> 00:53:31.889
not walk away from that. And this is truly the

00:53:31.889 --> 00:53:36.630
identity of a believer in the United States of

00:53:36.630 --> 00:53:40.110
America. Who is for you? You are nothing but

00:53:40.110 --> 00:53:46.369
the voice of liberty. Amen. The grace of liberty.

00:53:46.449 --> 00:53:49.269
This is my challenge wherever I am going. I have

00:53:49.269 --> 00:53:51.409
to go to all these 50 states. I go to the state

00:53:51.409 --> 00:53:53.829
capitol. I go to the Liberty Bell. And then I

00:53:53.829 --> 00:53:57.170
find a church that would resonate with this vision.

00:53:57.369 --> 00:54:00.010
And I would preach this message and anoint the

00:54:00.010 --> 00:54:02.610
church and anoint that pastor with the mantle

00:54:02.610 --> 00:54:05.369
of that state, with this pulpit sublase. And

00:54:05.369 --> 00:54:08.250
then only, then and then only, I can go to the

00:54:08.250 --> 00:54:11.210
next state. Wow. Because all of these things

00:54:11.210 --> 00:54:15.380
have to be combined in such a way. As I say,

00:54:15.539 --> 00:54:20.000
I come from a hurricane land, Florida. For a

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:24.019
hurricane to happen, you need three things. Water.

00:54:25.059 --> 00:54:29.579
Right? Yeah. And then you need wind. Right. And

00:54:29.579 --> 00:54:36.300
then you need heat. Hot water. Yes. Not cold

00:54:36.300 --> 00:54:39.880
water. You got to have hot water. Yeah. So heat,

00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:44.059
water, and wind. Wow. Who got all those three?

00:54:44.780 --> 00:54:48.519
Jesus is all three of them. Yes. He is the water,

00:54:48.619 --> 00:54:51.380
he is the wind, and he is the fire. And those

00:54:51.380 --> 00:54:54.880
three things are combined, brings a tornado or

00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:58.519
a hurricane that is coming in. Yes. That is what

00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:02.380
we can call as the great awakening. When that

00:55:02.380 --> 00:55:05.639
glory of the Lord combined in all of this and

00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:08.679
coming upon this nation, coming upon the pulpers

00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:11.780
of this nation and blasts upon it, that is where

00:55:11.780 --> 00:55:14.940
every altar that has been built with any of these

00:55:14.940 --> 00:55:18.119
false gods will be eviscerated. While they are

00:55:18.119 --> 00:55:20.980
eviscerated, the people's eyes will be opened

00:55:20.980 --> 00:55:23.960
up to the truth where they can identify and say,

00:55:24.139 --> 00:55:30.639
behold, the king. Amen. Amen. Amen. And talk

00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:34.000
to us about coming to the table. This is very,

00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:38.280
very important to understand. Where are we? There

00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:40.239
are some things that we have to understand. This

00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:43.000
is what we are entering into. So may as well

00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:45.760
get into the mock draft, right? When you know

00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:48.539
you're going into the draft, you're also preparing

00:55:48.539 --> 00:55:53.400
yourself through mock draft. Okay. So now anything

00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:56.780
that we are going to be into eternity. we will

00:55:56.780 --> 00:56:01.940
be given an opportunity to walk into it. You

00:56:01.940 --> 00:56:04.380
know, the order of events, the way you want to

00:56:04.380 --> 00:56:09.340
see them is this. Whatever Genesis was, when

00:56:09.340 --> 00:56:13.039
we are going back, it will be the reverse order

00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:17.219
of it. In the reverse order, where we are in

00:56:17.219 --> 00:56:21.659
the times is we are at Abel and Cain, rather

00:56:21.659 --> 00:56:25.769
than dwelling together. Wow. After this comes

00:56:25.769 --> 00:56:29.789
marriage. Okay. The family reunion, everything.

00:56:29.869 --> 00:56:32.570
That is what we are ending up to be. Like it

00:56:32.570 --> 00:56:35.849
or not, we end up in a marriage. Good. Like it

00:56:35.849 --> 00:56:39.050
or not, we end up in a family. So that is why

00:56:39.050 --> 00:56:43.730
we are being called to be at the Father's table.

00:56:44.210 --> 00:56:47.989
Good. Now the hour, I went to every kind of church

00:56:47.989 --> 00:56:51.230
thus far. This is what I told them. This is what

00:56:51.230 --> 00:56:54.760
I will tell anywhere I go. I have nothing against

00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:58.300
anybody, nothing for anybody. I'm here on behalf

00:56:58.300 --> 00:57:02.000
of the Lord of the hosts just to pass these summons.

00:57:02.059 --> 00:57:09.699
The father is calling us to his table. As a brother

00:57:09.699 --> 00:57:12.820
and as a sister, somebody may have offended you,

00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:15.619
but this is where you have to figure out how

00:57:15.619 --> 00:57:18.519
to come to the father's table. You don't know

00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:20.420
what the wrong the brother did. You don't know

00:57:20.420 --> 00:57:22.869
what the wrong the sister did. Let me tell you

00:57:22.869 --> 00:57:27.610
something. I could care less. Because the call

00:57:27.610 --> 00:57:31.289
is not from the brother. Right. The call is not

00:57:31.289 --> 00:57:33.989
from the sister. Right. The call is from the

00:57:33.989 --> 00:57:38.320
father for us to come to his table. No longer

00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:40.579
he is going to come honor us because we have

00:57:40.579 --> 00:57:43.460
a separate table somewhere, separate teepee somewhere.

00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:46.659
He is not going to come honor that. It is time

00:57:46.659 --> 00:57:49.460
that we all come to the table, to the Father's

00:57:49.460 --> 00:57:53.079
table, and worship him in the order of Aaron

00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:57.199
where brethren dwell together. Let that priestly

00:57:57.199 --> 00:57:59.760
anointing flow through us, that high priestly

00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:02.300
anointing flow through us, that it would bring

00:58:02.300 --> 00:58:05.679
the healing that like we have never seen before.

00:58:06.570 --> 00:58:09.070
This nation, this land is in need of healing.

00:58:09.190 --> 00:58:12.150
The nations all around are in need of healing.

00:58:12.210 --> 00:58:14.269
The best way that we are going to bring that

00:58:14.269 --> 00:58:17.170
is through this brotherhood where we can come

00:58:17.170 --> 00:58:22.170
to the Father's table. Amen. Amen. And our relationship

00:58:22.170 --> 00:58:26.230
with the Father brings us into the ability to

00:58:26.230 --> 00:58:28.630
have relationship with one another. Amen. Yeah.

00:58:28.869 --> 00:58:31.989
You know, when I start seeing the Father, I cannot

00:58:31.989 --> 00:58:34.969
not see Father in you. There you go. Because

00:58:34.969 --> 00:58:39.820
you both resemble. Yes. Yes, absolutely. We all

00:58:39.820 --> 00:58:42.599
look like our Father. It doesn't matter what

00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:47.860
we see as differences in height or width or skin

00:58:47.860 --> 00:58:51.260
color or hair color or eye color. We all look

00:58:51.260 --> 00:58:54.739
like our Father. All of us. Yes. Look just like

00:58:54.739 --> 00:58:58.090
Him. Amen. Yeah, I think we have to walk away

00:58:58.090 --> 00:59:01.630
from the lie that the devil is continually using

00:59:01.630 --> 00:59:04.250
against us to divide us with this skin color,

00:59:04.409 --> 00:59:08.690
with this language, with this and that. Don't

00:59:08.690 --> 00:59:11.769
forget, what is our common thread? The common

00:59:11.769 --> 00:59:15.489
thread is simple. We are believers. And believers

00:59:15.489 --> 00:59:18.909
have one job and one job only. That is to believe.

00:59:19.250 --> 00:59:22.650
Amen. That is who we are. He said he will do

00:59:22.650 --> 00:59:25.079
it. What are we going to do? We don't argue with

00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:28.840
it. We believe. We believe. And when we come

00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:31.559
into that simplicity, I know without a shadow

00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:35.840
of doubt, we will fight for each other, fight

00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.719
with each other, rather than fighting against

00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:40.920
each other like how the devil wants us to be.

00:59:41.820 --> 00:59:44.440
So I think the Father is giving us a great opportunity

00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:47.739
to this nation, to the Church of the United States.

00:59:48.170 --> 00:59:51.309
to come back and be that beacon of hope, the

00:59:51.309 --> 00:59:54.989
true beacon of hope that it ought to be for it

00:59:54.989 --> 00:59:58.769
to be back again as the city on a hill. You know,

00:59:58.789 --> 01:00:01.349
none of these things are possible without God.

01:00:01.650 --> 01:00:05.610
We cannot do that without God. This nation, we

01:00:05.610 --> 01:00:08.610
know this very well. Our formula is very simple.

01:00:08.750 --> 01:00:12.570
In God we trust. That is our formula of success.

01:00:13.619 --> 01:00:16.480
And may that continue to resonate with us. May

01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:19.440
that continue to lead us. And the commitment

01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:23.079
for us is also very simple. It's this. We are

01:00:23.079 --> 01:00:28.219
one nation under one God. Amen. And may we stay

01:00:28.219 --> 01:00:31.179
true to that and let the pulpits of this nation

01:00:31.179 --> 01:00:34.440
be set ablaze. And you, being the believer, let

01:00:34.440 --> 01:00:38.920
this pulpit, the temple of the Holy Spirit, let

01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:42.880
that be set ablaze. so that God can create a

01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:46.400
certain reaction that no weapon on this earth

01:00:46.400 --> 01:00:49.639
that can be formed against and can stop it. But

01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:52.420
you also will be bold enough to bring that voice

01:00:52.420 --> 01:00:55.500
of liberty out of you that would allow you, as

01:00:55.500 --> 01:00:58.059
the word clearly says, every voice that rises

01:00:58.059 --> 01:01:02.500
against you, you shall condemn. May we walk in

01:01:02.500 --> 01:01:05.380
that authority and may we walk in that place

01:01:05.380 --> 01:01:08.800
where not only we are bringing liberty to the

01:01:08.800 --> 01:01:11.760
people that are oppressed around us, but we ourselves

01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:14.980
are walking in the true liberty the Son of God

01:01:14.980 --> 01:01:19.820
has given to us. Amen. Well, thank you so much
