=== God's Judgment on America (03:49) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:19]  And I can't say what I want to say.
[00:00:22]  In a few weeks I may.
[00:00:30]  People, it's so serious that God's judgment is going to come on America.
[00:00:38]  If we don't turn back to God, there will be no hope for America.
[00:00:43]  And as John's concerned, America is going to be a third world country.
[00:00:48]  This is John's something that he's felt for a long time.
[00:00:52]  He's read the Bible, interpreted the Bible.
[00:00:58]  But if you, you need to get right between you and God.
[00:01:05]  First of all, every human being, every person, every church member, you need to make sure you're right with God.
[00:01:17]  You can't go around and say, oh, I love Jesus, but I hate you.
[00:01:24]  I hate my neighbors.
[00:01:25]  I hate the people in the church.
[00:01:27]  I hate all these people.
[00:01:28]  I hate religious people.
[00:01:30]  I'm so fed of that stuff.
[00:01:32]  I'm so fed up with it.
[00:01:36]  Is anybody nice to me or she's not nice to me?
[00:01:40]  Who cares?
[00:01:41]  You love.
[00:01:43]  It's you love.
[00:01:47]  God deals with you.
[00:01:48]  You understand what I'm saying?
[00:01:51]  If everybody would get right with God, this would be a Sunday school picnic, wouldn't it?
[00:01:55]  Right.
[00:01:56]  Yeah.
[00:01:58]  But we need to be right with God because things are going to happen.
[00:02:06]  God spoke to me that I was to come out of prison and be a watchman.
[00:02:10]  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.
[00:02:16]  Oh, God.
[00:02:18]  So here's my headline today.
[00:02:23]  Nanyahum says Iran must be stopped.
[00:02:27]  Iran is threatening Israel and the entire world.
[00:02:33]  What did we do?
[00:02:35]  We invested in Iran.
[00:02:39]  Right.
[00:02:40]  That's right.
[00:02:41]  We gave them billions of dollars.
[00:02:48]  And then they turn on us again and say, we're going to destroy you.
[00:02:55]  Disease X could be the world's next epidemic.
[00:03:00]  That's a headline today, Fox News.
[00:03:03]  Drastic storms.
[00:03:05]  We've had the coldest.
[00:03:06]  We've had the hottest.
[00:03:06]  We've had the most water, the most horrible floods, the most hurricane, everything.
[00:03:12]  All of these things.
[00:03:14]  And we've taught you and taught you and taught you how the extremes are warnings from God.
[00:03:21]  If you think you're going to make it alone, you need the church.
[00:03:25]  I was trying to tell you earlier, this is what God taught me 40, 50 years ago.
[00:03:30]  Oh, God, am I that old?

=== God's Ragtag Army (02:05) ===

[00:03:35]  He said, the secret to survive in the last days before I come back.
[00:03:41]  He said that you must be a part of church.
[00:03:46]  Right.
[00:03:48]  You must be a part of a body.
[00:03:49]  That's what this is a church.
[00:03:52]  You say, oh, we're a motley crew.
[00:03:54]  No, we're a church.
[00:03:55]  We may be a motley crew, but we were a motley crew church then.
[00:04:00]  But we're a church.
[00:04:02]  God told me I'd build David's army.
[00:04:07]  When I lost everything, Prophet E.B. Hill called me and said, Jim, you're going to build David's army.
[00:04:13]  You're coming back.
[00:04:14]  I hadn't even gone to prison yet, but I was going, I was going to come back, he said.
[00:04:19]  He said, you're coming back, Jim, and you're going to build David's army.
[00:04:24]  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.
[00:04:35]  Well, that's all I got.
[00:04:37]  Well, I'll tell you what, he started with Mondo and me, didn't he?
[00:04:40]  He started building that army.
[00:04:43]  Mondo and Laurie.
[00:04:45]  You interrupt my sermon.
[00:04:46]  But it's true.
[00:04:47]  I want to bring you into it.
[00:04:48]  Oh, yeah, but it's true.
[00:04:49]  You were a wild girl when you were before you found Jesus.
[00:04:53]  I was.
[00:04:54]  That's true.
[00:04:55]  Yes.
[00:04:55]  And Mondo, give me your hat.
[00:04:58]  You're ragtag.
[00:04:59]  Absolutely.
[00:05:01]  You were in the gangs, the killer gangs of L.A. Come on.
[00:05:06]  These, my kids are throwaway kids from the ghettos.
[00:05:12]  They used to run drugs as little teeny kids, four years old, running down the street with a bag.
[00:05:18]  Didn't know what was in it, delivering drugs.
[00:05:24]  God is raising up the ragtags and the people who will just say, God, I'm desperate.
[00:05:30]  I've got to have you.
[00:05:32]  I've got to have your forgiveness.
[00:05:34]  And church, we've got to cry out to God.
[00:05:37]  We can't keep giving God the finger.
