=== Redemption Through Exposure (02:21) ===

[00:00:00]  Pastor Steve, you made a wonderful point earlier, and I really want to expound on it.
[00:00:03]  You said that you believe, you know, they're crossing over all of these Ninevehs, but it's not a Sodom and Gomorrah.
[00:00:10]  There is a chance for redemption.
[00:00:12]  What does redemption look like across the globe, but specifically here in the United States of America?
[00:00:18]  Well, redemption would start with righting all the injustices, right?
[00:00:22]  The censorship against the word of God.
[00:00:25]  The censorship of the Bible in the schools.
[00:00:27]  These things must be exposed and ended.
[00:00:30]  And we go all the way to the top of all the elites and the people who went to Jeffrey Epstein's island.
[00:00:36]  Justice and peace and redemption would mean all of the abused children will finally get their justice.
[00:00:43]  I believe that we have the authority to actually call down justice.
[00:00:46]  You know, the Bible talks about calling down fire.
[00:00:48]  That's something that was characteristic of Elijah's ministry.
[00:00:52]  It's an end-time ability, an end-time calling.
[00:00:55]  But you know what?
[00:00:56]  The church has to be moral before it can call down fire.
[00:01:01]  Amen.
[00:01:02]  And that's my plea is I'm not here to try to say the church is wrong and people are condemned.
[00:01:08]  No, we need to clean up our lives because we have such a mission from Jesus.
[00:01:12]  We have such authority and power that he wants us to exercise and use in these last days.
[00:01:17]  And we can call justice down on this nation, but we must be just and we must be morally pure ourselves.
[00:01:24]  So we have to examine our heart.
[00:01:25]  That's where the redemption begins.
[00:01:28]  The revival begins when the church itself begins to repent and repent for what?
[00:01:32]  For its lukewarmness.
[00:01:34]  That's right.
[00:01:34]  It's so rich and comfortable and we've been lukewarm for so long.
[00:01:37]  We even allow our teenagers to live in sin.
[00:01:40]  People lose their virginity in the church like it means nothing.
[00:01:43]  These things have got to stop.
[00:01:45]  Amen.
[00:01:45]  Then we can walk in the authority as Jesus.
[00:01:49]  I believe there is a righteousness and a purity coming to the church in America.
[00:01:53]  It starts in the pulpit.
[00:01:54]  So, Pastor, if you are watching this or congregate, if you are watching this, continue to pray.
[00:01:58]  Holy Spirit, I do not want my heart to be hardened towards you.
[00:02:02]  I want your conviction to allow or I want to allow your conviction to fully expose anything in my heart that I need to repent of.
[00:02:10]  And I promise you, he will expose it and you will have the opportunity to say, Lord Jesus, I lay this at your feet.
[00:02:16]  I no longer want to carry this shame and this burden.
[00:02:19]  I simply want to carry your yoke, which is light.
