God's Judgment on America 00:03:49
What I know and what I've heard, what I've really found out, that what is supposed to be the church underground, underneath, it's more like a worldly organization.
And I can't say what I want to say.
In a few weeks I may.
People, it's so serious that God's judgment is going to come on America.
If we don't turn back to God, there will be no hope for America.
And as John's concerned, America is going to be a third world country.
This is John's something that he's felt for a long time.
He's read the Bible, interpreted the Bible.
But if you, you need to get right between you and God.
First of all, every human being, every person, every church member, you need to make sure you're right with God.
You can't go around and say, oh, I love Jesus, but I hate you.
I hate my neighbors.
I hate the people in the church.
I hate all these people.
I hate religious people.
I'm so fed of that stuff.
I'm so fed up with it.
Is anybody nice to me or she's not nice to me?
Who cares?
You love.
It's you love.
God deals with you.
You understand what I'm saying?
If everybody would get right with God, this would be a Sunday school picnic, wouldn't it?
Right.
Yeah.
But we need to be right with God because things are going to happen.
God spoke to me that I was to come out of prison and be a watchman.
I never thought I'd ever be a watchman, but I'm supposed to be a watchman, so I'm sitting up here trying to watch.
Oh, God.
So here's my headline today.
Nanyahum says Iran must be stopped.
Iran is threatening Israel and the entire world.
What did we do?
We invested in Iran.
Right.
That's right.
We gave them billions of dollars.
And then they turn on us again and say, we're going to destroy you.
Disease X could be the world's next epidemic.
That's a headline today, Fox News.
Drastic storms.
We've had the coldest.
We've had the hottest.
We've had the most water, the most horrible floods, the most hurricane, everything.
All of these things.
And we've taught you and taught you and taught you how the extremes are warnings from God.
If you think you're going to make it alone, you need the church.
I was trying to tell you earlier, this is what God taught me 40, 50 years ago.
Oh, God, am I that old?
God's Ragtag Army 00:02:05
He said, the secret to survive in the last days before I come back.
He said that you must be a part of church.
Right.
You must be a part of a body.
That's what this is a church.
You say, oh, we're a motley crew.
No, we're a church.
We may be a motley crew, but we were a motley crew church then.
But we're a church.
God told me I'd build David's army.
When I lost everything, Prophet E.B. Hill called me and said, Jim, you're going to build David's army.
You're coming back.
I hadn't even gone to prison yet, but I was going, I was going to come back, he said.
He said, you're coming back, Jim, and you're going to build David's army.
So that means all I'm going to have is a bunch of ragtag people, a bunch of people that are hungry, a bunch of people who are in debt, a bunch of people who have problems.
Well, that's all I got.
Well, I'll tell you what, he started with Mondo and me, didn't he?
He started building that army.
Mondo and Laurie.
You interrupt my sermon.
But it's true.
I want to bring you into it.
Oh, yeah, but it's true.
You were a wild girl when you were before you found Jesus.
I was.
That's true.
Yes.
And Mondo, give me your hat.
You're ragtag.
Absolutely.
You were in the gangs, the killer gangs of L.A. Come on.
These, my kids are throwaway kids from the ghettos.
They used to run drugs as little teeny kids, four years old, running down the street with a bag.
Didn't know what was in it, delivering drugs.
God is raising up the ragtags and the people who will just say, God, I'm desperate.
I've got to have you.
I've got to have your forgiveness.
And church, we've got to cry out to God.
We can't keep giving God the finger.
