- 00:03
- Good morning, church. Thanks for reporting for duty before the captain of the
- 00:09
- Lord of Hosts, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It's in his name we are gathered in this hallowed hall, and it's in his name that child sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood, will be driven back to hell from whence it came.
- 00:30
- Amen? All right, so I got some good news and some bad news.
- 00:42
- Which do you want to hear first? Good news. Well, it doesn't make a difference what the order is, because until our nation fully comprehends the bad news, they will never treasure the good news.
- 01:00
- That's not only true in evangelism. That is true for our future and hope as a people.
- 01:08
- Well, brothers and sisters, there are two abominations that when they reach heaven, you are in deep, deep trouble with the
- 01:20
- Almighty. And that is child sacrifice, the shedding of innocent blood, and parading our sin like Sodom.
- 01:32
- America has done that to the nth degree in a face of a holy
- 01:37
- God. When I say America is in trouble, we are in deep, deep distress and trouble.
- 01:48
- Now, God warned Israel when they were coming into the promised land to not commit the same pagan practices of those that were in the land before them.
- 02:04
- And he was speaking about the host of sexual immoral practices, especially those that led to child sacrifice and the shedding of innocent blood.
- 02:19
- And this is God's warning that we need to take heed here today. Do not defile yourself with any of these things.
- 02:30
- For by all these, the nations are defiled, which
- 02:36
- I am casting out before you. If you want to understand what's happening in America today, we,
- 02:43
- God's people, are being dispossessed even as I speak. Understand this.
- 02:51
- This is why the open border. This is why citizens are locked down. We are being dispossessed because we have committed these abominations before God.
- 03:03
- He says, for the land is defiled. Therefore, I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
- 03:18
- You see all these natural disasters? You see us getting hit left and right? You see
- 03:24
- Americans carrying away the remainders of their belongings? What's happening?
- 03:30
- Our sins have reached heaven. Nature itself is rebelling against the
- 03:37
- United States of America. When innocent blood is shed, the land becomes defiled, and it cries out to God for vengeance.
- 03:53
- And believe me when I tell you, it has massive political ramifications.
- 03:59
- You read Psalm 106 when the children of Israel mingled with the
- 04:06
- Gentiles and committed these abominations before God. God's Word says they sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.
- 04:17
- Understand this. This is not a political social issue.
- 04:23
- This is a gospel kingdom issue. These are literally the altars of Moloch and Baal and Astera that our tax dollars are supporting.
- 04:34
- We are sacrificing our daughters and our sons to demons.
- 04:40
- Look at this generation. What in the world do you see? What do you see?
- 04:47
- It's demonic to its core, and we're feeding it with the broken bodies and the shed blood of our own children.
- 04:57
- God's Word says He hates this. It angers Him. And what does the anger of God look like in the real world?
- 05:08
- Listen church, those that hate you will rule over you.
- 05:17
- In other words, we will be turned over to weak, inept, wicked rulers.
- 05:24
- Look at Washington, D .C. Look at it! And you will be subject to oppressive laws by which you cannot abide.
- 05:37
- This is what's happening under our watch, brothers and sisters, and we must remember this.
- 05:43
- Our God will not be mocked. What men and nations sow, they shall surely reap.
- 05:53
- And we have sowed to the wind, and we are reaping the whirlwind. Now our gathering here is to address this deplorable situation.
- 06:06
- Our gathering here is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
- 06:14
- But we're not stopping here. We are here because we love our nation, because we love the state of California, excuse me,
- 06:22
- South Carolina. God forgive me! No, I love you
- 06:28
- California, you need the Lord! Help me,
- 06:33
- Jesus! We are here because we love our families, amen?
- 06:42
- We are here because we love our children and our grandchildren, and we want to secure a future and a hope, brothers and sisters, so critically important.
- 06:52
- We are here to stand in the gap, to make up the heads, to give God a reason to show mercy to this nation that's literally begging for his judgments, amen?
- 07:02
- And so our heart cry here, and everywhere we go, we are saying to the state of South Carolina, I was going to say
- 07:12
- California again. Maybe, I need to be in California. But honestly, brothers and sisters, our gathering here is sending a message.
- 07:24
- Repent with us. Repent with us. May God touch hearts and change minds, because God's word tells us that we meet the righteous conditions laid out in his word.
- 07:39
- Please hear this. God's word says, a broken and contrite heart he will not despise.
- 07:49
- A broken and contrite heart. Remember Psalm 106?
- 07:55
- Remember Psalm 106? They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons, and they got turned over to the wicked politically?
- 08:04
- Do you know what God says at the end of that passage? When he heard his people cry, when he heard them cry out, he remembered the covenant, and he restored them back in the land.
- 08:20
- And this is a cry to almighty God, amen? And our nation needs to tremble once again at God's word, fear him, and depart from this grave evil.
- 08:33
- The scriptures promise this. If we return to him, he will return to us.
- 08:39
- If we draw near to him, he will draw near to us, amen? And make no mistake about it, there is a bill of abolition being put forth here in the state of South Carolina, and that is
- 08:52
- H4046, and it's introduced by Jonathan Hill right there.
- 08:58
- Give him a round of applause. And understand what this bill is bringing to the table.
- 09:14
- This is not just about ending abortion and abolishing this evil. The bill itself, listen, is an act of repentance.
- 09:25
- The bill itself is an act that South Carolina is returning to the
- 09:31
- God of our fathers. It is an act of justice, and it is an act of love.
- 09:38
- One that is necessary to secure a future and a hope for these children.
- 09:44
- My grandkids are right there, right there, to secure a future and a hope for them, amen?
- 09:51
- So here's my concluding statement, brothers and sisters, and it's not just for California.
- 10:01
- There is a reality that we're facing, and it's one we cannot avoid.
- 10:08
- Either abortion ends in the United States of America, or our nation ends as you and I have known it.
- 10:19
- Now more than ever, we must stop child sacrifice, quit regulating baby murder, and quit appeasing evil.
- 10:44
- This bloody scourge must end once and for all. Now listen, our children and our grandchildren, their future literally hangs in the balance, amen?
- 10:59
- So God bless you saints, and keep pressing on to that high calling prize in Jesus' name.
