Jim Bakker analyzes a recent White House assassination attempt, asserting divine protection over the president amidst threats from a lone wolf teacher and global powers like Russia and China. He connects this event to his 18-year-old sermon "Double," which accurately predicted economic struggles, inflation, and natural disasters including New Orleans flooding, while referencing Revelation's end times prophecies. Bakker contrasts his stable ministry of 3,000 attendees with failing denominations, urging listeners to sow into God's kingdom for double blessings despite current turmoil. Ultimately, the episode frames these crises as prophetic signs requiring faith and prayer rather than panic. [Automatically generated summary]

Prophetic Warning on Assassination Attempts00:08:39
I am bringing to you a message that God gave to me 18 years ago.
Wow.
Prophetic word that He gave me then that has happened in our days today.
As you know, they tried to assassinate the president again last night.
Yes.
The register,
I mean, people coming to that meeting banquet last night.
Correspondence dinner.
Correspondence dinner.
But they had to register every few miles on the highway coming there.
That's right.
I mean, they were stopped, had to show their invitation and their ID and all that.
But there was.
Thousands in the hotel registered that didn't have to go through.
Amen.
Regular guests.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Just guests that are registered, yes.
People, only the grace of God and mercy of God, our president, is still alive today.
Yes, amen.
Yes.
That man was determined to kill the president, I believe, and his staff that he could kill.
That's right.
President, trying to kill you, trying to kill all God's people.
I don't do this on Sundays, but I have just a little video of last night just in case any of you weren't watching.
You can just look at your monitors.
Go ahead and roll that, please.
Control if you can.
This was the chaotic scene as a man rushed past a security checkpoint at the White House correspondence dinner last night.
With shots fired.
Before the suspect was tackled to the ground.
Clear based upon what we know so far that this individual was intent on doing as much harm and as much damage as he could.
According to law enforcement sources, Allen is allegedly declining to answer questions, but allegedly made some reference to targeting administration officials, but was not specific.
Overnight, the FBI, Secret Service, and local law enforcement launching a massive nationwide investigation into Allen's background.
He was a lone wolf, a whack job.
These are crazy people.
These are crazy people, and they have to be dealt with.
I have a report this morning that most people haven't gotten yet.
But the would be killer has spoken just a few words, but he said he hates all Christians.
It's being reported in his manifesto, a document that he wrote to back up his terrorist act that he is against Christians.
And for protection of us in the United States.
Yes.
We are living in the last days.
18 years ago, I preached a sermon I titled at that time, Double.
That soon would cost us double to live.
That's right.
Wow.
Inflation.
Look at gas.
I think that's probably has already come to pass.
The killer hates, said he hates Christians.
But yet he got into the very hotel where the president was speaking.
Because how do you secure a complete hotel of thousands of people?
Yeah, it's very hard to do.
You're a smart man.
Very hard to do, amen.
And they were all there.
That's right.
They panicked people.
Yes, it would.
Trying to create fear.
Kennedy, whose many, many relatives were killed.
Yes.
Two of us.
Was there.
Yep.
And the lady whose husband was murdered just a few months ago, Erica Kirk.
Erica Kirk.
Erica Kirk was there.
Was there.
And it devastated her.
Yes, amen.
Her husband was shot dead.
As a martyr, yes.
I saw it myself.
I saw him shot.
Live on TV.
With the blood gushing from his throat.
And I'm sure she saw the pictures of that.
Days.
Absolutely, yes.
Revelations.
Our president is only alive because God has protected him.
That's right.
The grace of God.
Amen.
Amen.
And the word for 2028 God gave me was devil.
The Cost of Living Doubles00:02:44
That in the future, many will have to work double to make ends meet.
Amen.
Has that come true?
Oh, there are many cases above double, triple in certain areas, some groceries and gasoline and everything.
In 2008, it was the big economy crash with the housing, and housing prices across the nation not only have doubled, they are almost reaching double plus some.
The Lord spoke to me in the night in the year 2000.
And these last 18 years since I preached this sermon, great things have happened in my life.
Yes.
For four years, the government has decided that I cannot receive any salary, so my cost was not just doubled, mine was troubled.
Amen.
Does it cost you more to live today than it did 20 years ago, do you think?
Absolutely.
Amen.
Everybody knows that.
Gas is double.
Electricity is double.
Food prices have doubled.
The cost of eggs has doubled, tripled.
It would be double the labor, twice as hard to earn what we earned in the past.
I owe my land.
They have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their distestable, detestable, and abominable idols.
I'm away to the studios right now or to the church.
Cousin George and the Inheritance Curse00:03:37
I had received a call from my cousin George, and George's.
Probably one of the last of my living relatives that I talked to.
And George and I were little boys together.
I have pictures.
My cousin always kissed me.
He said, Why?
We were holding hands.
What was that about?
Where's your cousin?
Nowadays you wouldn't dare hold hands, but especially if you're boys, you know.
And George, I would
just like to talk about when we're little boys.
Is that all right?
Amen.
I don't have hardly any relatives left.
Well, we're your family, Pastor.
Thank God.
You know, Pastor, it says in Revelation 6 4, we've been going through the revelation.
Then another horse that was red was sent forth.
Power was given to him who sat on it to take peace.
From the earth, causing people to kill one another, then a great sword was given to him.
And that's what we're seeing now in our nation.
If I'm going to get through with this message, I'm going to have to go much faster than I'm going.
But I just want to talk.
He was very well educated.
Amen.
They said he was a teacher in California.
But he hated you.
That's right.
He hated Christians.
And he planned, I think, to kill the president of the United States and all of our leaders.
Do you realize what mass confusion if the president was dead and all the cabinet were killed at the same time?
Do you realize what that would do to our country?
We'd have subtly no leadership.
Well, the Democrats could take over, finally, because that's what they want.
I'm sorry, Democrats, if there's anybody here, I used to look at two parties the Republicans and the Democrats.
Yes.
Let Persecutors Be Confounded00:02:35
Amen.
Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded.
Let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed.
Bring upon them the day of evil and destroy them with double destruction.
And that's the title of my sermon Devil.
We have double trouble.
It costs you double to live.
Than it did years ago.
You know that.
Come on.
Do you know my dad and mother?
We're really old people.
I'm 86, and I'm the son, you know.
Hundreds of dollars, not thousands of dollars.
Do you remember any of those days?
Oh, yeah.
When you could get a house for a few hundred dollars?
You remember?
Anybody remember that?
Amen.
Raise your hand.
You lived in those days.
Come on.
I need a verification of history.
In 1980, I built a brand new house with an acre of property for $40,000.
Oh.
And that's not so long ago.
Four bedrooms.
Oh, there it is.
I thought you really were a.
Good builder.
My grandparents bought their first house for a little under $4,000.
Amen.
And I'm not trying to just make you feel bad that it didn't cost that much to have a house in those days.
But in the year 2008, Preaching from the notes of 20 years ago, almost.
More heat, more cold.
More earthquakes, more famine.
Extreme Weather and Natural Disasters00:05:18
Yes.
Weather extremes, power grid needs to be watched.
Can you imagine?
I said that many years ago and they still haven't fixed it.
Absolutely.
Is that right?
The prices are going up extravagantly because they're building all these AI data centers that require so much power.
Everybody's going to work.
I predicted there would be more terrorism from within and without malls, theaters.
Hmm.
We're seeing it.
I can show you.
It's going to be hotter and colder.
More rain, more heat, more cold, weather extremes.
power grid needs to be watched and without.
Oh boy.
That just happened last night.
A California teacher attempts an assassination at the dinner at the White House or at the hotel for the correspondence dinner.
That's from within.
That is not another nation.
That is someone in our nation.
Did anybody watch it last night?
Raise your hand if you saw it.
Many hands are up.
Come on, let me see.
I want to see.
You're not dead.
30 or 40 hands are up.
I talked to some of our staff members and said, I didn't know anything happened last night.
Boys, if you're on this team, you better be watching everything because you are God's watchman.
Yes.
Because there's a lot of nervous people around
me, but i'm not.
Miracles are taking place here.
Come on.
Lori's house is going to get bigger than it ever was.
Yes.
Packed with girls having their babies instead of being kicked in the street.
Come on.
Praise God.
Hallelujah.
I've come to the kingdom for such a time as this.
Come on.
One of the great prophets of all times, when I was 19 years old, said I would help usher in the coming of the Lord.
He gave me seven prophetic words the night I received the infinity of the Holy Spirit.
Praise God.
Amen.
Bill Haverson.
The reason I've got So I'm here.
Praise God.
God's not finished with you yet.
Amen.
And I plan to stay in this pulpit until I die.
Praise God.
So if I die someday preaching, say praise God, you win heaven.
I mean, it's serious.
God's real, heaven's real, the Bible's real.
You better hold on to the word of God because that's all you got, people.
That's right.
No matter what any great literature said, it's not important.
It is what God said.
That's right.
Amen.
That's important.
You hear me?
But this is what God told me 20 years ago, more drought, more rain.
Russia Awakens to Global Conflict00:03:27
They do.
Yes, amen.
And they hate us.
I prophesied there'd be terrorism worldwide, and surely the world is full of terrorism.
More stones, earthquakes, fires.
I prophesied back then that New Orleans would be underwater, and it was already once, but it will be gone.
With water, floods.
That's New Orleans.
New Orleans is already, shortly after I prophesied this, it had that, do you remember it?
Yes, amen.
Terrible flood.
Katrina?
It almost wiped New Orleans off the map.
Just about happened and
we all watched it.
Have we all watched it live?
You predicted, and then three weeks later, Fukushima had the fourth.
I've never professed to be a prophet, but I do prophesy.
And everything God has given to me has come to pass.
This was a prophetic message that I delivered almost 20 years ago.
It would cost double to live in America.
No more of that.
And it's already true.
I said more than double.
Keep your eyes on the Mideast.
I said back then, Russia is not asleep.
And Russia is still our enemy.
China is our enemy.
Yes, amen.
And they are helping Iran right now.
Absolutely.
Deceivers.
They can try to cheat you and steal from you and lie to you.
They're...
They're here.
God told me there'd be more storms, more earthquakes, more fires.
Is that not true?
Absolutely.
So true.
And he said, Keep your eyes on the Mideast of Russia.
And this is what he said to me Russia is not asleep.
No.
I don't want you to fear or be afraid.
Just the Bible is being fulfilled.
Do Not Fear the Trials Ahead00:15:22
That's right.
Just be prepared.
Amen.
If you want to go to a church that tells you it's going to get better and better, this is not it.
That's a fact.
Because I'm going to preach what God's Word says.
Experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.
Oh, hallelujah.
I want to give you a message that God gave me.
When He said, Many who will walk with God, hear His voice, will reverse this double trouble.
Amen.
Come on.
And receive double strength and increase.
Oh, hallelujah.
Yes, amen.
Amen.
You know, I haven't received a salary for 40 years.
Do you know that?
That's not important.
Who cares?
But they even took my mother and dad's house.
That's pretty bad, isn't it?
Because I owned the house because I was providing a house part of my plan, you know.
This head never stopped, but a financial plan anymore.
My financial plan.
Is heaven.
Amen.
Amen.
Several thousand acres.
Heritage was said to be worth a billion dollars.
They took it all.
I built what I feel was an amazing place to worship God.
We had at least 50 worship type services.
86 services every week was what the number was.
86 a week.
And I had 3,000 people to run it so I could do that.
I know you're bored by that, but God still does miracles, and God did that.
It was the greatest Christian place, I believe, ever built.
Oh, absolutely.
To this day, still.
Absolutely.
No one's beat it.
There's not been a bigger ministry.
You know, the upper room that we built, the.
To look at the app There in years.
But we built it just like the one in the Holy Land.
And do you know who owns it?
A boy that was a bad boy.
I always took in bad boys and bad girls.
There you go.
Get them saved, and they're some of the best preachers and teachers in the world.
Amen.
Yes, amen.
Amen.
And he went, that bad boy went and bought the upper room.
Yeah.
Hallelujah.
And he restored it, and it's still going on.
And he's been here.
He's been to Morningstar.
Randy?
Yes.
And thousands go there every year.
And they have Holy Ghost meetings.
That's all.
Hallelujah.
God told me to walk, I
was wiped out.
The FBI lied about me and.
Christians lied about you, some of them.
Preachers came in and lied.
Amen.
They said, We got to get rid of Jim Bigger.
He's building a Christian theme park for fun.
No, it was just that I knew people had to do things besides pray.
Amen.
Hallelujah.
With other Christians.
Amen.
They had to shop and eat, buy food.
We had at least five restaurants.
Yeah, and you know, they're staying all week long.
Great restaurants.
They're staying all week long in the heat, so why not a water park?
And do you know how hard it is to make a restaurant work these days?
Oh, absolutely.
Very high failure.
And you were successful with the best in the world.
I want some of you who have said you'd help me with that rest, with that store.
Do you know, I'm Dutch.
Do you know if Dutch people are known for stubbornness?
Yes, no comment.
But I'm more stubborn because of the Bible.
Amen.
I'm stubborn about God.
And some of you that volunteered to help me open the store, I want you to go and just hang out there.
I don't care what anybody tells you.
If we can't open this door, we must have given up.
That's a little thing, really, guys.
But the government has a lot of rules now.
You have to get a lot of permits and all.
That doesn't stop me.
Nothing has ever stopped me.
Except that the Lord says, and I don't want money for me.
I'm a pauper.
And we're going to see great victory.
Amen.
You little church, you're the teamwork.
You're the team that makes the dream work.
Yes, amen.
You're it.
Thank you so much.
So don't start bellyaching.
We want a teamwork that makes the dream work, not a bellyaching team.
There's other words I learned in prison, but I don't use them.
I'm serious.
God's people need to not be complainers.
Complainers are remainers.
You need to be on God's side all the way.
We've seen what happened in the wilderness when they complained.
It didn't go so well with them, did it?
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her warfare
is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, for she hath received the lord hand double for all her sins.
Oh, hallelujah.
God's people can have increases while the world is facing earth shaking events.
Amen.
I think many of us this morning have experienced, you know, the troubles that we went through in our lives.
We've been faithful and believe God in His Word by faith, and we've seen Him multiply many times.
Get ready because you are the team that God has ordained.
You say, Oh, I'm just getting old.
Some people got to be over a thousand years old in the Bible.
You know, Pastor, you always say what happens in your mind happens in time.
Churches built on sand and money will fail and have.
They're failing by the tens of thousands every year.
Every year.
I hate to say that.
Yes, it's a shame.
My denomination that I grew up in, the evil people of the world are prophesying doom for that damn.
I won't say what it is, but I want you to know what I grew up in.
There's demons.
It's devil power.
God said, I will build my church.
And the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
Yes, hallelujah.
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trials, which is to try you as though some strange things happened unto you.
There's always trials for people that love God because the devil does it.
Absolutely.
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trials which is to try you as though some strange thing happened unto you.
God said, It's going to happen.
You're going to go through.
But the trial of your faith is more precious than what?
Than gold.
Yes, absolutely, ma'am.
But rejoice in as much as you are partakers of Christ's suffering, that when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad.
Amen.
Exceedingly joy.
Amen.
Exceeding.
That's an important word there.
If you've errored, reproach for the name of Christ, happy are you.
For the spirit of glory and of God rested upon you.
Don't mock those who love God.
Yes.
Many of us have suffered many times from stupid things that we've done in life.
We reap what we sow.
Amen.
That man that tried to kill the president last night said, I hate Christians.
Those who bow to God will come back double.
Come on.
Double.
Jesus said, I am leaving you with the gift, peace of mind and heart, and the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give, so don't be troubled or afraid.
Come on.
The words of Jesus.
You know, I've talked about this, and I really don't want to dwell on it too much today, but one person should never dominate your time or a pastor's time.
Troublemakers are of the devil, they're not of God.
Amen.
Our foundation is Jesus.
God Wants to Bless You00:16:00
Amen.
Remember that.
Amen.
God wants to bless you.
You see, I have no way.
I never received an inheritance from my father or my grandfathers or my uncles or my aunts.
I don't.
I never thought I would add or would.
I mean, my dad was a factory worker and he did, you know, he took care of us.
That's right.
But he didn't mass a fortune.
It's a hard working blue collar, man.
Making automotive parts.
There's such power in the body of Christ.
Yes.
And you are in that body.
Hallelujah.
We need the church more than ever priest over the house of God.
Let us draw near with a true heart and full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love.
Good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.
Yes, that's important.
As for the manner of some, but exhorting one another.
It's so much the more as you see that day approach.
Amen.
The more you get to the end times, the more you need to be together.
Amen.
That's absolutely right.
That's why, actually, I built this place for the end times.
Yes.
A refuge.
Great army against you,
those warming locusts and hopping locusts and destroying locusts and cutting locusts that ate your crops.
I I, God, will repay you back for those years of trouble.
Then you will have plenty to eat and be full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God who has done miracles for you.
My people will never again be ashamed.
Oh, hallelujah.
Amen.
You cannot be ashamed.
That's good.
Then you will know that I am among the people.
I am the Lord your God, and there is no other God.
My people will never be ashamed again.
After this, I will pour out my spirit on all kinds of people.
Your sons and your daughters will prophesy.
Your old men will dream dreams.
That's me.
Yes, same.
Your old men will dream dreams.
I'm having great dreams.
I'm still having visions.
I will show you miracles.
Place, right?
You're working, volunteering at the ministry many times.
But God says, I will pour out my spirit upon you.
Is that good?
I will show you miracles in the sky and on the earth.
Blood fire and on earth, blood fire and thick smoke.
The sun will become dark, the moon red as blood before the overwhelming and terrible day of the Lord comes.
Then anyone who calls on the Lord will be.
Saved.
Amen, amen, amen.
Because on Mount Zion and Jerusalem there will be people who will be saved.
Just the Lord said, those left alive after the day of punishment are the people whom the Lord called.
Keys to restoration and power.
Power is double, he said.
Hallelujah.
Yes, amen.
Matthew 18 19.
And again, I say to you that two, if you're sure of grace, touching anything.
Yes, it shall be done.
Yes.
For them and my father.
It's time for us to start praying.
Place where people put, you know, right amount and drop.
And I'd like to do that again because it's important that we pray for one another.
Absolutely.
Every day.
If you ever need it, I want to pray for it.
My prayer is not as good as anybody else's, but it's, you know, I don't, at least because I'm a preacher, I'm not better than you.
If two agree, that's you, me.
If we agree together, we agree.
God says, I'll answer it.
Again, I say unto you that if two of you should agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Amen.
That's God's word.
You pray together, agree together.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am amidst them.
It's like.
I told the team, team makes the dream work.
We make it all the time.
Him that is alone when he falleth, for he hath, you know, I have fallen many times during my time of, you know, strokes and all.
And it was terrible.
I fell a couple of times when I was, nobody was around me.
Nobody could pick me up.
But now I can walk.
Praise God.
Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor.
We need each other.
Amen.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow, but woe unto him that is alone when he falleth, for he hath not another to help him up.
I've been that way.
I've been that.
Yes, amen.
Double can mean more than double.
And five of you shall chase a hundred and a hundred of you.
This is God's math.
The church.
God has even promised me trouble.
Yes, we stand on that word, amen, and claim it by faith, amen.
What God has promised is for every one of us.
My time is up, and I'll finish, maybe I'll finish this because I got a lot to say yet.
This is a very important word that God gave me.
But after, the Bible says, after Job prayed for his friends, the Lord gave him a success again.
The Lord gave Job twice as much than he was before.
Absolutely.
Before he was wiped out.
God's will is to keep it from eating,
and a worker should be given his pay.
God's standards of restoration has always been double.
That's the title of my sermon today.
Amen.
Double your trouble.
Double for your trouble.
Hallelujah.
If the thief is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or a donkey or sheep, he shall restore double.
If a man delivered to his neighbor money or articles to keep and it was stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, he shall pay double.
That was in the Bible.
Double.
Amen.
That's the principles that God set forth in his scripture.
Whoever the judge is condemned shall pay double to his neighbor.
Even Elisha asked for a double portion.
Yes, he did.
If we don't plant anything, you know, it's that season of the year.
It's spring, and we've been getting ready to plant some things.
And I think Linda wants to get some flowers this afternoon to plant.
But, you know, whatever we plant, we've already planted some grass seed.
We've seen it come forth, amen.
But, you know, some of us, we want the double portion.
We want what God has for us.
We want to hold His promises, but we're not willing to sow our time.
We're not willing to sow time with the Lord and in His Word and build that relationship between you and the Lord.
And, you know, we will only receive what we have sown into the kingdom.
And if I could read a couple scriptures as we prepare our hearts to sow into God's kingdom financially.
In Luke the 11th chapter, Luke the 6th chapter, 37 verses, Jesus is saying, Judge not that you be not judged.
Condemn not and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
So you can see that we'll give you favor as we sow into God's kingdom.
Amen.
If we sow into our families, to our children, we will see our children raised as godly children.
Even though they leave, we have promised that they would return.
If you sow into the church, wherever you sow, that God will bless you, God will anoint you.
And we have to take this word and say, well, it sounds good for someone else, but you take that word and claim it for yourself by faith.
Stand on the promise of God.
Well, Pastor, I've been giving for 20 years and I've been doing this and I've been doing that.
Well, you never give in, you never give up.
You stand by faith on God's word because God's word says that he will, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will men give unto you.
Now, he could just open the windows of heaven and pour out the manna like he did in the wilderness, but, you know, more often than not, God will give you favor with someone.
He might give you a gift.
If we want to see God move mightily, if we want to see God pour out his kingdom, all these things that the word of God tells us, you know, it's not to put fear in our hearts, but God wants us to be prepared.
Amen?
So when things happen, that we don't fall apart.
Amen.
Because we're standing united, and united we stand.
Amen?
Amen.
So as we prepare to sow into the kingdom, as the ushers get ready, let's bow our heads and bless God.
I want to believe that everybody here is going to become.
A double portion saint of God.
Yes.
Because I didn't finish this message, but it was all about double.
Absolutely.
And God wants to bless you all.
You say, I have no source.
Neither do I.
I don't have any source but God.
But he also,
you get Social Security.
Anybody raise your hand?
I'm on Social Security.
Yay!
Every month I get a check from the government.
Amen.
That was your money they took from you in the first place.
Yeah, they did.
But thank God it's a good check.
And I'm praying a double blessing for every one of you right now.
I want this church to be blessed.
I want this to be the most blessed.
Blessed congregation in the world.
Yes.
God's not through blessing you, God has something for you.
