Christianity Under Assault

|
| Sam, this is mockery. | |
| And by the way, these are not Catholic nuns. | |
| These are just people pretending to be nuns. | |
| This is Satanism, I think. | |
| What do you think about things like this? | |
| Yeah, we can't deny the fact that there is so much anti-Christian bigotry taking place in America like we've never seen before. | |
| Christianity is under assault. | |
| The United Nations reported that Christianity is the most persecuted religious ideology or group or philosophy, faith, in the world. | |
| Christianity, mind you. | |
| So Christians are being persecuted around the world, but not here in America. | |
| We're being persecuted culturally and even legally. | |
| So many court battles trying to defend our Judeo-Christian value system. | |
| Here's my question, Pastor Jim and Lori and Mondo and team. | |
| Let's talk about equity. | |
| Equity is the big word of the day. | |
| In the woken cancel culture, equity is sort of the undergirding microphone. | |
| It's all about equity. | |
| Well, if it's all about equity, if the LA doctors are having a pride night inviting the sisters of perpetual indulgence, shouldn't they likewise have a faith night inviting Catholic nuns to show up? | |
| That's the situation. | |
| There is no equity. | |
| Target, Target has pro-Satan paraphernalia merchandise and sexually attempting to groom our kids de facto with all the things that they are producing and so forth. | |
| Equity. | |
| You want to have that? | |
| Then we demand that you have a Christian section at Target where Christ is elevated and proclaimed. | |
| Where on Easter, it's not just about the bunnies and the bonnets and the candies, but talk about the resurrection power of Christ. | |
| Equity. | |
| The problem is that they have declared anything that's Judeo-Christian off limits, but everything that is morally reprehensible, everything that is embracing perversion and heathenism, that's the new idolatry, the new religion. | |
| So there's a problem here. | |
| It's America. | |
| It's all about the devil creating idols of sex and gender and race. | |
| And look over here, be obsessed with this. | |
| And we're doing away with the centrality of Christ. | |
| But once again, God's plan, Isaiah 14, 27, cannot and will not be stopped. | |
| He is on the throne. | |
| God will have the final word. | |
| Amen. | |
| Sam, you have a chapter in your book. | |
| It's called Double Blind with a section that have titles like Worship While Wounded and Praise in the Pain. | |
|
Open Your Eyes

|
|
| And tell us about that. | |
| I like that. | |
| Me too. | |
| Yeah, as you know, I'm a part-time comedian. | |
| So I include that in my writings because Jesus blinded a man with mud who was already blind. | |
| So it's the only double blind study in the, you know, in the Bible. | |
| I'm here all week. | |
| Eat the deal, please. | |
| So it's a double blind study. | |
| But I talk about the fact that when your praise is louder than your pain, nothing can stop you. | |
| A broken praise is still a praise. | |
| A wounded worshiper is still a worshiper. | |
| An anointed leader going through a problem is still an anointed leader. | |
| And I just elevate that in the book to speak about your pain and your wounds and your process does not disqualify you. | |
| And the matter of fact, I would argue it qualifies you. | |
| Hence, the process is temporary. | |
| The promise is permanent. | |
| Do not confuse what you're going through with where you're going to. | |
| And please stop asking God to restore your past. | |
| God is not interested in renovating your past. | |
| He is interested in releasing your future. | |
| He wants to open your eyes to see what you've never seen before. | |
| 1 Corinthians 2:9, Jeremiah 33, 3. | |
| So get ready for that. | |
| Get ready to see what you've never seen before. | |
| That's the double-blind study reality. | |
| This is a great book. | |
| I hope people will read it and it'll be blessed. | |
| It will really bless them. | |
| After each chapter, there's a section called Open Your Eyes with Suggestions and Prayer. | |
| You call it Open Your Eyes. | |
| Tell me about that and what it means. | |
| Yeah, open your eyes. | |
| So don't forget, Jesus instructed the man to go wash himself, and then he did. | |
| And he opened his eyes and he saw for the first time in his life. | |
| We need to open our eyes. | |
| 2 Corinthians 5:7, we walk by faith and not by sight. | |
| What do you want to see? | |
| What do you want to see in your life, in your faith, in your generation, in your children, in your home, marriage, health, finances, in your community, in America, in the nations? | |
| What do you want to see? | |
| If you want to see the glory of the risen Christ, 2 Corinthians 3.18, if you want to go from glory to glory, if you're tired of seeing drama and you want to see destiny, if you're tired of seeing trauma and you want to see testimony, if you're tired of seeing wounds and you want to see worship, what do you want to see? | |
| It's the prescription embedded in the word of God. | |
| Obey his word. | |
| Jesus said, go wash yourself. | |
| This man couldn't see, but he could hear. | |
| Who speaks into you is much more important than who speaks about you. | |
| Faith cometh by hearing and hearing of the word of God. | |
| Listen to the Holy Spirit. | |
| Listen to God's word. | |
| And you'll open your eyes and you will see in your children, in your children's children, in your family, in your life, what you've never seen before. | |
| What will you see? | |
| Romans 8:17, the glory of Christ. | |
