Jim Bakker Show - God’s Prophecy and the Praying Church - Revelation News Aired: 2017-10-27 Duration: 29:57 === Judgment Begins At The House Of God (04:18) === [00:00:00] Can mainstream media and biblical prophecy give us a picture of what's happening today and the times we're living in? [00:00:06] All this and more on Revelation in the News. [00:00:22] I'm your host, Ricky Baker. [00:00:24] Why does the book of Revelation that's filled with judgments start with messages to the church? [00:00:29] 1 Peter 4, 17 through 18 says this, for the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. [00:00:36] And if it begins first with us, what shall be the end for those who do not obey the gospel of God? [00:00:40] And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? [00:00:45] See, the Lord deals with his own before he judges others. [00:00:49] God wants the church to be clean and ready for what's to come. [00:00:52] I mean, even 1 Peter 1 through 7 says, in the order that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Christ Jesus. [00:01:06] See, at the beginning of Revelation, these seven churches represent the whole church as it has moved down through the centuries and show only things that can be applied to the generation that's on the earth at the time that Christ returns. [00:01:18] And I believe that we are that generation that gets to see Christ return, which is such an honor. [00:01:22] I mean, imagine this. [00:01:23] We are the chosen ones. [00:01:25] We are the ones that were picked, handpicked by God before the beginning of time to be placed right here in this moment. [00:01:30] What's happening right now? [00:01:32] We're seeing so many signs. [00:01:33] We're seeing prophecies, prophecies coming true at this point. [00:01:36] That's true. [00:01:36] And this year, 2017. [00:01:38] There's been so many different signs, prophecies being spoken throughout this last year or so. [00:01:43] And one of the things that I feel like I've noticed is there have been a lot of people questioning, you know, is the church, are they being too silent? [00:01:51] Are they making a move, you know, with all these different cultural changes going on right now? [00:01:56] But I have to say, here in just a second, we're going to watch Kim Clement. [00:02:00] But what I want to say is, after hearing this, consider that I think God has actually responded to the prayers of the church. [00:02:10] So let's go ahead and watch this real quick. [00:02:28] And then in the middle of the restoration of America, rapidly because of a source of energy that shall come quickly. [00:02:42] And because of legal breakthroughs. [00:02:45] And because of agreements between nations, specifically China. [00:02:49] God said they shall say, we never dreamed this would happen. [00:02:52] They said that this in Japan would never happen. [00:02:58] But God says, listen to me. [00:03:00] As the beginning of the restoration, as it begins, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Estonia, you shall be the troublemaker. [00:03:22] You shall reckon Putin who claims himself as a Tsar to bring back a system of control and pain and suppression. [00:03:38] Ha ha! [00:03:39] I laugh at you. [00:03:43] Okay, John, in this B-roll, he was talking about Russia, Poland, and Estonia. [00:03:48] And isn't it true that two weeks ago, we just heard about these Russian war games that were going on? [00:03:53] A matter of fact, you're absolutely correct. [00:03:55] We had just seen the United States respond by sending two tank brigades over to Estonia and the east side of Poland to be an answer because right now Russia is challenging the power of NATO. === Riots And Prophecy (03:25) === [00:04:10] And right now the United States is responding. [00:04:12] So he is absolutely correct when he said that. [00:04:14] I believe that was actually in 2011 that he said that that would happen. [00:04:18] And he even went on to say that they would be used to create trouble. [00:04:23] Yes, he said, you troublemakers. [00:04:25] I love the boldness that Kim Clement had. [00:04:28] He wasn't scared because he knew that he had a word from God. [00:04:31] There's been so many powerful, powerful men that know, yes, I have a word from God and they're not willing to back down from it. [00:04:37] And one of those men was John Paul Jackson. [00:04:40] Let's watch something he said. [00:04:42] What kind of things do you see happening over the next, say, 2012? [00:04:47] Riots are coming. [00:04:49] Riots in the streets are coming. [00:04:52] And if we're not careful, shortly after the next election, the anger will mount so much that we'll end up having martial law declared. [00:04:59] And there are six cities in the United States that, and there may be more than six, but I have seen six cities in the United States where martial law was declared. [00:05:09] Loss of life was taking place. [00:05:11] So you see Detroit, you see Los Angeles, you see New York, you see Atlanta, you see here in Dallas, surprisingly. [00:05:20] And then there's one other mystery city that I saw, but I don't know the name of the city. [00:05:24] And our freedoms are going to grow smaller and smaller. [00:05:27] Can you believe that? [00:05:28] He said that he saw cities rioting. [00:05:30] He said, our freedoms are going to grow smaller and smaller. [00:05:34] I mean, if this isn't, I mean, it almost feels like John Paul Jackson moved to the year 2017, went ahead and recorded everything that was happening and went back and he just decided to say, but that's exactly what prophecy is. [00:05:45] God shows them a vision. [00:05:46] He gives them a dream and lets them know these are the things to come because nothing on this earth happens without God first telling his prophets. [00:05:54] The prophets are usually mocked. [00:05:55] They're usually made fun of because they usually sound crazy. [00:05:57] But I promise you, we need to start tuning our ears to the frequency of the prophets because that is what's going to help us realize what's to come. [00:06:05] Yes. [00:06:06] And even seeing like him, him calling out martial law, what I'm afraid of with all these riots that we've been seeing from Berkeley to Ohio, different places all around the United States, that is martial law a possibility that could take place here in the States within the next few years. [00:06:24] Because one of the things I'm worried about is there's been a lot of talk about something happening next weekend, November 4th. [00:06:31] There's a lot of things being talked about, you know, protests and more riots. [00:06:36] Absolutely. [00:06:36] You know, and there's supposed to be a gathering of people going out the day of the election, you know, and they're going to go out and all at the same time, they're going to point their fists up into heaven and they're going to scream and they're going to yell. [00:06:48] And what they're yelling at, we don't know, but it sounds like they're just yelling at God, you know, because it sounds like they're blaming God for Donald Trump coming into office. [00:06:55] But, you know, Lance Wall now actually specifically tells us why Trump is being so used by God. [00:07:02] Yeah. [00:07:03] What is it about Donald Trump? [00:07:05] He's just a candidate running with like 15 or 16 other candidates. [00:07:08] What makes him any different than anyone else? [00:07:11] And the Lord said, Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness. === Anointed Leader and Religious Freedom (10:17) === [00:07:16] Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness. [00:07:21] Have we seen that be more? [00:07:23] I mean, that's how he's taken over Twitter and the responses. [00:07:27] You know, I don't agree with everything. [00:07:30] I don't agree with everything in the way he reacts to everything. [00:07:33] But he's definitely caught the attention of the American public without needing Fox News or CNN or any of these people. [00:07:42] He can speak directly to the people of the United States. [00:07:45] He sends out a tweet immediately. [00:07:47] Millions of people are. [00:07:49] That has broken the mold of political correctness because you have to go through editing processes. [00:07:53] You have to go through what sounds good and what's going to make the American people happy. [00:07:57] But he just tells it like it is. [00:07:58] Lance Walnell actually said something else in this exact same message. [00:08:02] God is about to break out on the earth in an extraordinary move of his spirit. [00:08:07] And he is going to do so in shaping nations in ways that we haven't seen. [00:08:13] And what if America is right now about to engage a prophetic journey itself? [00:08:18] That we, the greatest nation since Rome in terms of military power and since World War II with the guarantor of peace and democracy in the world, what happens if America doesn't protect its own blessing and it doesn't guard its own privileges? [00:08:37] Well, then America, in a sense, becomes a parable. [00:08:39] You know, that's something really interesting that he just said that if we don't protect our blessing, what we've spent the last decades fighting for and building, I mean, we are one of the youngest countries in the world. [00:08:52] Absolutely. [00:08:53] But I believe we are one of the greatest, if not the greatest country in the world. [00:08:57] You know, second to maybe Israel, who, you know, is God's chosen people. [00:09:02] But just seeing that if we don't protect it, what we fought for and what we've earned, we could end up being a parable. [00:09:09] And I oftentimes think about the people in the Bible who are only remembered for their faults. [00:09:14] Absolutely. [00:09:15] Absolutely. [00:09:16] In 2,000 years, they're only remembered for their mistakes. [00:09:18] Absolutely. [00:09:19] You know, we see in the Old Testament, there's beautiful examples of things that messed up, but God's restoration. [00:09:25] But I love in the book of Hebrews in our New Testament, there's a lineup of these men called the men of faith and the women of faith. [00:09:30] And never one time after the crucifixion of Christ were their faults remembered. [00:09:35] They were saying they were remembered for this good thing and this good thing. [00:09:37] And this is why they had tremendous faith. [00:09:39] And this is why they had tremendous faith. [00:09:40] I mean, just imagine that, that God, after the resurrection, after he died and covered our sins in the blood, that we are just, those men now are just remembered by their good things. [00:09:49] So why can't we, as the body of Christ, also do the same for a brother, also do the same for a sister, also do the same for, I mean, yes, even a political figure. [00:09:57] You know, why can't we look at everyone through the blood of Christ and through that lens? [00:10:01] Wants Walnell actually brought up another point about Donald Trump that I really want you to hear because this is very important. [00:10:07] What was it about Donald Trump that attracted the Lord? [00:10:10] I'll tell you what I believe it is. [00:10:12] And I'm reading these words and I'm saying, thus saith the Lord to Cyrus, whom I have taken by the right hand. [00:10:22] Thus says the Lord of Cyrus, his anointed, who I've taken by the right hand to subdue nations before him, to loose the laws of kings, to open doors before him. [00:10:32] And I thought, Isaiah 45, it's the next president, the 45th president. [00:10:38] And I go, you know, grab Google and I go, look, well, Barack Obama was 44th president. [00:10:43] I thought, well, but he was re-elected. [00:10:44] But you see, you maintain the same jersey, even if you get re-elected. [00:10:48] So it's 44 twice. [00:10:50] The next president is 45. [00:10:53] And I said, oh, my gosh. [00:10:55] Nobody at that point when I was hearing that was thinking that Donald Trump was anointed to be the 45th president, let alone a Cyrus. [00:11:03] You know, what is the most important thing, Ricky, that we can know about Cyrus? [00:11:08] Why is he comparing him to Cyrus? [00:11:10] Well, you know, Cyrus was a, he was the king of the monarch over the Babylonian captivity over to those times. [00:11:16] And in the first, you know, he wasn't a godly man by any chance. [00:11:19] He wasn't a fearful believer of God. [00:11:21] But in his first year, he, you know, I believe God used him. [00:11:24] And it says that God used him. [00:11:26] And in that first year, he made a decree that the Jews had to rebuild their temple. [00:11:29] I mean, just things like that. [00:11:30] He was an ungodly man, mightily used by God. [00:11:34] And I mean, imagine that we see an ungodly man being very mightily used by God right now in our White House. [00:11:40] I think there's so many examples in the Bible of God using like imperfect people to do amazing things. [00:11:47] Absolutely. [00:11:47] I think when people hear us say that, like, oh, Donald Trump is called by God and he's anointed by God, and we believe that God has a purpose for him. [00:11:54] We're not saying that we think he's perfect. [00:11:56] We're not saying that we think that he's more perfect than or more righteous or holy than anybody else. [00:12:02] I think it's more saying more about God's character and ability to use really, really imperfect people to do his work. [00:12:10] Absolutely. [00:12:11] Listen, we are very unfaithful human beings. [00:12:14] We are born into sin. [00:12:16] Faithfulness isn't part of our DNA right off the bat. [00:12:18] But you know what? [00:12:19] It is God's DNA. [00:12:20] It's who he is. [00:12:21] Faithfulness just runs through him because it's who he is. [00:12:25] Well, let me ask you this one question, Rick. [00:12:28] You know, as we've been paying attention to what's going on in the news over like the last eight years, previous administrations, you know, not just within the last eight years, but even before that, you know, seeing the direction that our country's going in cultural changes and shifts. [00:12:43] And we've even seen, you know, a lot of pressure come against the church in even private schools and different things like that. [00:12:49] Absolutely. [00:12:50] So my question to you is: do you feel that we are seeing proof that God is listening to the prayers of his church, the prayers of his people? [00:12:59] Absolutely, John. [00:13:00] I honestly believe that, you know, like you said, Donald Trump is not a perfect man. [00:13:03] We weren't electing a pastor or a pope. [00:13:05] We were electing a president of the United States that would stand up for our Constitution, our rights, and defend this country. [00:13:10] That's what he swore that oath to. [00:13:12] And I believe that God, yes, the answers of the prayer were answered by God, or excuse me, the prayers of the people were answered by God because of this reason. [00:13:21] I believe if Hillary Clinton would have gotten office, they would begin the beginning of the end for Christianity. [00:13:27] Absolutely. [00:13:28] Christian television, even the Christian ethics in schools, we're seeing it already ripped away, but I believe that would have been expedited so much faster because, I mean, let's be, you know, she wanted the Christian vote, but she really didn't care for the Christians themselves. [00:13:41] You know, that reminds me of something Kim Clement even said in one of his addresses where he was saying that we're going to have a leader in the White House who's going to be whispering. [00:13:53] He's going to be praying. [00:13:54] He's going to be in the Oval Office. [00:13:57] And at that moment, he's going to be shouting and praying. [00:14:01] And what have we seen over like the last 10 months? [00:14:04] I mean, he hasn't been in office that long, but he made some bold moves to have prayer meetings right there in his office. [00:14:12] We have never seen a president of the United States have this much prayer in the White House. [00:14:16] Yes, he might not be a perfect man. [00:14:17] I'm going to keep saying that, but remember, he is willing to be used by God. [00:14:20] He's allowing men and women of God to lay their hands on him, a very charismatic thing, and take pictures of it and post it. [00:14:27] They're allowing this to happen. [00:14:29] He's allowing this to happen. [00:14:30] Why? [00:14:30] Because I believe that he genuinely, he might not be the strongest Christian, but everybody's walk of faith has to start somewhere. [00:14:36] So don't criticize him because he's not the premier Christian that you might be. [00:14:41] Ricky, in the Bible, it says that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance. [00:14:45] Absolutely. [00:14:45] So it means that you can be anointed to do something, like whether you have the capability within yourself to do it doesn't take away the fact that you're anointed to do something. [00:14:54] And I think that's what we all are really agreeing on with Donald Trump, that he is anointed to do this. [00:14:59] No, like Ricky said, no, I don't agree with everything that he says or does. [00:15:03] And I don't think he's perfect. [00:15:05] And I'm not afraid to, you know, call him out when he does something wrong. [00:15:10] But I do believe that God anointed him. [00:15:12] And I think that we should be praying for God to make him usable, make him usable. [00:15:17] And I believe we've seen that more and more throughout his candidacy. [00:15:20] And you know what? [00:15:22] You said it perfect. [00:15:23] You know, we're not expecting him to be perfect, but we are expecting him to defend the people of the United States of America because that's what he swore his oath to. [00:15:30] That's exactly what he's sitting in office. [00:15:31] The president of the United States is so that he can serve the people. [00:15:35] And that's why I love that he's signing all these religious freedom acts. [00:15:38] I mean, you know, the Johnson Amendment. [00:15:41] Things like that are happening under this president. [00:15:43] I mean, we even listen, you know what? [00:15:44] Actually, just watch this video of what's happening right now with President Trump and the Religious Freedom Acts. [00:15:48] We are ending the attacks on your religious liberty, and we are proudly reaffirming America's leadership role as a nation that protects religious freedom for everyone. [00:16:01] You know, I love that because you don't just see Christians standing there. [00:16:03] You don't just see Muslims staying there. [00:16:05] You don't just see Hindus, Orthodox Jews. [00:16:07] You see everyone. [00:16:08] You know, he's the president of the United States of America fighting for religious freedom. [00:16:13] And to a sense, that's why no, you know, no one should be against what he just did there. [00:16:17] Absolutely. [00:16:18] He had every representation there. [00:16:19] And as a Christian, as a true Christian, you should want everyone to be represented there in the White House because we get our rights back. [00:16:28] Absolutely. [00:16:29] And listen, this is the thing. [00:16:30] Everyone's saying, well, you know, we don't want religious freedom for this certain religion or this certain religion. [00:16:34] But listen, if we can keep religious freedom, we'll just do what we do best. [00:16:38] Let God do his business. [00:16:39] And the Christian faith will always be on top, will always be the best because we serve the only true living God. [00:16:46] So why are we so afraid to let God shine? [00:16:49] Yeah, yeah. [00:16:50] I mean, any kind of people group that sees this should that has faith, any Muslim, Hindu, anyone, as you said, should be proud of that moment. [00:17:00] You know, we see a lot of great things like this happening, but the mainstream media seems to be telling us a completely different story every single time. [00:17:08] Every single time. [00:17:09] And, you know, there's one thing I do want to say. [00:17:11] We've even seen Kim Clement within the past few years, I believe it was 2011, he even went to go as far to say that the man who's going to be in office is going to, like the financial gain, God's going to open up the doors and the financial gains of our country are just, it won't be something that we can totally understand. === Jobs And Racism Can't Be Denied (09:10) === [00:17:32] And if you look at the news right now, people, Alan Greenspan is wondering, you know, why does the stock market keep going up? [00:17:41] Over the last 10 months, we've seen record broken after a record broken. [00:17:45] Well, John, what's Trump's impact on the economy been so far? [00:17:49] Well, look at this. [00:17:51] Since he's been in office, he's spurred on job creations. [00:17:54] President Trump's impact on the economy has been immediate, spurring job creation across the country. [00:18:01] There's been lots of jobs created under President Donald Trump. [00:18:03] And that's something you can't be mad about because listen, typically jobs are non-discriminating. [00:18:08] They don't care if you're black, white, gay, straight, Christian, or not. [00:18:12] They will give you a job. [00:18:13] And so this is something that we should be extremely happy about. [00:18:16] But people still try to rip him apart for this. [00:18:18] Well, and over like the last several years, we've seen companies, major corporations move out of our country. [00:18:26] Absolutely. [00:18:26] Which means we lose money and we lose jobs. [00:18:29] So that way they can have lower fees, lower fees, and they don't have to pay people as much. [00:18:34] But since January, the economy added 863,000 jobs, including 821 in the private sector. [00:18:43] Wow. [00:18:43] Also, 79,000 construction jobs were added since January. [00:18:48] Now, that's January 2017. [00:18:50] Yes. [00:18:50] 79,000 construction jobs since January 2019. [00:18:54] 10 months. [00:18:55] That's amazing. [00:18:56] And he's also added 42,000 mining and logging jobs since January. [00:19:00] Wow. [00:19:01] Also, 41,000 manufacturing jobs. [00:19:05] The numbers keep growing. [00:19:06] A matter of fact, we are at 5,121,780,000. [00:19:14] 780,000. [00:19:16] Thank you. [00:19:18] That's a big number. [00:19:18] That's a big number. [00:19:19] That's how much Americans' wealth has gone up. [00:19:23] But look how much Donald Trump is ruining our country. [00:19:26] You know what I'm saying? [00:19:26] You might not like him. [00:19:27] You might not agree with everything he's doing, but you cannot deny the good. [00:19:31] You know, we don't agree with everything everyone says out there, but you can't deny when there's something good happening like that. [00:19:36] You know, a lot of people, a lot of Christians, a lot of the Jews back in the day, back in the Old Testament probably didn't like Cyrus. [00:19:43] Right. [00:19:44] Because he wasn't with them, supposedly, but he's helping. [00:19:47] You know, he made the declaration, you guys are going to rebuild your temple. [00:19:51] And right now, I feel like Donald Trump is making the declaration. [00:19:53] We're going to rebuild the Christian faith back to where it was, and we're going to rebuild America. [00:19:58] I think that it's like right now, the world needs political maturity. [00:20:06] Because here's the point: because I had to learn it myself, spill to maturity, figuring out that, yes, just because you don't like this guy or you do like this guy, they do do bad and do good. [00:20:16] This has been creating jobs. [00:20:18] This has been creating things that for us, for America to become a more powerful nation like we used to be. [00:20:24] Absolutely. [00:20:25] You know, I want to say something. [00:20:26] I don't think everybody liked Joseph. [00:20:28] When Joseph was saying, hey, you know, I know the times are good, but let's start saving. [00:20:34] Let's take a portion from everybody and we're going to put it over here for a day that maybe bad things are going to happen. [00:20:41] So to this point, President Trump has saved $560 million by cutting regulations and meeting the promises to eliminate two old rules where if you come up with a new one, we're going to cut two out. [00:20:55] Exactly. [00:20:56] I mean, even President Trump even fulfilled his promise to the American people by nominating after Senate confirmation appointing Neil Gorsuch to our Supreme Court, our SCOTIS, the United States. [00:21:05] That is so important. [00:21:06] But you know what? [00:21:07] It seems like we see all these great things, but we can't get past the fact that, you know, people think like Donald Trump's a racist. [00:21:13] Right. [00:21:13] You know, that's just always what hits the forefront. [00:21:16] Yes, he might be creating jobs, but he's a racist. [00:21:18] Quite honestly, it's like their go-to button. [00:21:20] Let me ask you a question. [00:21:21] I don't want to talk about the good things. [00:21:22] Let's just go back to this easy target. [00:21:25] Let me ask you a question, John. [00:21:26] Is Donald Trump a racist? [00:21:29] Let's actually watch him answer this. [00:21:32] Racism is evil. [00:21:34] And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. [00:21:50] We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. [00:21:57] We are equal in the eyes of our creator. [00:22:00] We are equal under the law. [00:22:03] Now, that's what Donald Trump says about racism. [00:22:05] But let's see what Trevor Noah says about Donald Trump, what he says about racism. [00:22:10] Do you think Donald Trump is racist? [00:22:13] I do. [00:22:14] I do. [00:22:14] You do. [00:22:15] And I'll tell you why. [00:22:15] It's tough to say that somebody is not racist when they're doing all the racist things. [00:22:21] You know, sometimes I feel like we need to invent like a racism Richter scale. [00:22:25] Because racism in America is such a loaded word. [00:22:28] It feels like people are more afraid of being called racist than actually being racist. [00:22:32] Nobody wants to be called racist. [00:22:34] No, people go, don't call me racist. [00:22:36] I might do these things, but you don't call me racist. [00:22:38] If Donald Trump chooses an advisor who has a platform that specifically caters to a movement that is neo-Nazi and white supremacist, then what do you call that? [00:22:48] You know what? [00:22:49] Let me tell you a few things that aren't racist. [00:22:51] Let's just read them off right here. [00:22:53] 863,000 jobs, including 821 in the private sector, 79,000 jobs in the construction world, 42,000 jobs in the mining industry, 41,000 manufacturing jobs, and $5,121,780,000,000 added to the United States of America. [00:23:10] No matter if you don't like the man, no matter if you think he's a racist, even though he denounced racism, you can't deny multiple times over many years. [00:23:19] Multiple times, people wanted to get behind him in his policies and what he was doing, even long before he became president. [00:23:26] And even since 1999 and before then, he has denounced David Duke. [00:23:32] He's denounced the KKK. [00:23:34] He's denounced. [00:23:35] But do we have proof of that? [00:23:36] Yes. [00:23:38] Let's roll it. [00:23:40] How many times do I have to reject? [00:23:43] I've rejected David Duke, rejected David Duke. [00:23:46] I've rejected the KKK, the Ku Klux Klan. [00:23:50] From the time I'm five years old, I rejected them. [00:23:53] Let me ask you this question. [00:23:54] What about the David Duke is saying to his supporters and followers, vote for Donald Trump? [00:23:58] White supremacists are saying, Do you want those votes? [00:24:01] No, I don't want them, and I don't want him to say it. [00:24:03] I can't help if he says it, if he says it, but I don't want it. [00:24:07] And I don't, if he says it, John, if he says it, he says it. [00:24:11] Okay. [00:24:12] Do I want it? [00:24:12] No. [00:24:13] And do I want the supporters? [00:24:14] No, I don't want anything. [00:24:15] What do you think about white supremacists, by the way? [00:24:17] I don't like any group of hate. [00:24:20] Hate groups are not for me. [00:24:22] I don't like any groups of hate. [00:24:24] But still, we feel like, yes, he's saying this, but let's go ahead and say he's not saying this. [00:24:28] Let me also say, Trevor Noah also mentioned a platform of racism and white supremacy. [00:24:36] I'm like, apparently he has not read the Democratic platform because we've talked about it a hundred times on our show. [00:24:42] Well, hey, John, who started the Ku Klutz Klan? [00:24:45] Democrats. [00:24:45] The Democratic Party. [00:24:46] So how is the Republican Party a platform of racism? [00:24:49] And you can't deny that. [00:24:50] The facts are there. [00:24:51] If you really want to know and go into some detail, there was a wonderful movie put out called Hillary's America. [00:24:55] And this man spent his life dedicated studying this right here. [00:24:59] And almost every single racist entity that has come birthed from America has been birthed out of the Democratic Party. [00:25:05] Yeah, all the way back to Andrew Jackson and before. [00:25:07] Absolutely. [00:25:08] Absolutely. [00:25:08] You know, and he even goes as far as even saying, you know, not one Republican politician back then owned a slave. [00:25:14] And he actually proves it. [00:25:15] He said there was one, but he paid him. [00:25:18] That's right. [00:25:18] It's absolutely insane. [00:25:19] And it's like even through the Civil War, we see a group and a party of Republicans go to war, losing lives to show that there is equality in our country, that we are a country of equal people. [00:25:35] Absolutely. [00:25:35] And listen, you might not like what I'm saying, but listen, you cannot deny the facts. [00:25:40] You can't deny these facts because they are what is written in our history. [00:25:43] And you know what we see right now more than ever, John? [00:25:45] We see people trying to erase history. [00:25:47] Because what happens when you erase history? [00:25:49] You can rewrite it to be whatever you want it to be. [00:25:51] And that is a death sentence for America every single time. [00:25:55] Yes, you might not like the statues. [00:25:57] Yes, you might not like what's written in the Constitution because it was written in the time of slavery. [00:26:01] But I promise you, if we try to remove that, if we try to rip it from its original roots, what's going to happen? [00:26:06] The tree is going to die. [00:26:09] America's going to die. [00:26:10] We're going to see martial law happen every single time. [00:26:13] We're going to see death and destruction from the inside out of America. [00:26:17] And that's the thing I don't understand. [00:26:18] Why do we want to see, you know, they're burning American flags. [00:26:21] They're stepping on the American flags. [00:26:23] And I understand it's not about the piece of cloth. [00:26:25] Don't get me wrong. [00:26:26] But listen, what that piece of cloth represents. === Pray For Change (03:29) === [00:26:29] It represents men and women, black, white, gay, straight, transgender. [00:26:32] I don't care what they are, going overseas, fighting and losing their lives so we can have our religious freedoms. [00:26:38] So we can have our freedoms to think Donald Trump's an idiot or think he's not an idiot. [00:26:42] That's what they're fighting for. [00:26:43] So don't go disrespect that cloth because you don't agree with what something, you know, something that happened a long time ago. [00:26:49] And I understand bad things happen. [00:26:50] Absolutely. [00:26:51] They need to be addressed. [00:26:52] They need to be corrected. [00:26:53] We need to fix them. [00:26:54] But that doesn't mean that every white person's a racist, every brown person's illegal, and every black person, you know, is a thug. [00:27:00] Absolutely not. [00:27:01] We have to come to the realization that this is honestly the greatest country on the earth because we've been blessed. [00:27:06] And like Lance Wall now said, is it Lance Wall now? [00:27:09] We might be removing that blessing because of our own ignorance. [00:27:13] You know, I want to say this one thing. [00:27:14] We just got a couple seconds left, but I want to remind people, just because things are moving in the right direction, and we've even shown you that, and prophecies are being fulfilled, to not stop praying. [00:27:24] Pray for your country. [00:27:25] Pray for your leaders. [00:27:26] If you don't like what's going on right now, I suggest you to get on your knees and start praying for the president. [00:27:32] Start praying for his cabinet. [00:27:33] Start praying for the people of your governors and your senators. [00:27:38] That's how you make change. [00:27:39] Imagine if we had a church that believed what the Bible said. [00:27:42] That whenever you look at someone as an enemy, if you were to look at Donald Trump as an enemy, if you were not to like him or his policies or anything he stands for, what if instead of badmouthing him on Facebook, you got on your knees and you prayed and you prayed and you prayed that God would reveal himself to this man? [00:27:57] Imagine how different we would look as a nation. [00:28:00] You know, I actually got to watch the whole John Paul Jackson video, and what surprised me there was that he put so much into praying for Obama at the time. [00:28:11] He says, we need to pray for Obama. [00:28:13] He says, we don't need to go against him. [00:28:15] We need to pray for him. [00:28:16] And it's the same thing right now. [00:28:18] Absolutely. [00:28:20] Especially if you don't, especially if you, for some reason, don't like this president. [00:28:24] Pray. [00:28:24] Pray. [00:28:25] That's the point. [00:28:26] But that's why John Paul Jackson, such a wise man, saying at that moment that the main thing you need to do is pray for Obama, pray for the president. [00:28:34] So just keep doing that now. [00:28:37] I always like this saying. [00:28:38] They always say, don't ever put the face of the enemy on the face of your friend. [00:28:43] And it talks about like we wrestle against flesh, we don't wrestle against flesh and blood. [00:28:47] We wrestle against powers and principalities. [00:28:49] So if you do see something that you don't agree with, if you do feel, you know, this oppression over the nation or something that you don't agree with, like you said, pray for it. [00:28:59] Like there's no point in just vocalizing your griefs and complaints. [00:29:04] Pray for it, and God can change the situation. [00:29:06] Let's pray for the president instead of cutting his head off and acting like it's comedy. [00:29:09] Exactly. [00:29:10] Listen, we see the world absolutely going crazy. [00:29:12] You know, there's things happening. [00:29:13] There's earthquakes, there's fires, there's lies, there's wars and rumors of wars. [00:29:16] Everything we're seeing in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 and the book of Revelation, all happening before our eyes. [00:29:22] But let me tell you something. [00:29:23] There's one place and one place only that we can find our security in these last times for any type of peace, any type of joy, and any type of comfort. [00:29:30] And that is the rock that is Jesus Christ. [00:29:33] If you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ, do that today. [00:29:35] I encourage you. [00:29:36] Take that step of faith today and do that. [00:29:38] Listen, you can call Morningside Church. [00:29:40] You can call us at 1-888-988-988. [00:29:43] I promise you, we'll answer. [00:29:44] We'll talk to you. [00:29:44] We'll walk you through that. [00:29:46] And we want to be here for you. [00:29:48] We're here for you all the time. [00:29:49] But listen, put your foot on that solid rock today so that you have security, so that when everything's happening, you know exactly what's going to happen for you.
