Hello, my friends.
It's Andy and Hedy,
coming to you live from Yorba Linda,
California,
for the Living Fearless Devotional.
A production of resurrectministry.com,
where we're trying to bring the gospel,
the name of Jesus,
to every household in the world.
We're going to shoot high.
It's really, it's, you know,
the Lord Jesus Christ is an
extraordinary redeemer, resurrector,
the giver of life, the way maker,
the miracle worker.
And we hope that everybody
has a chance to experience
his redemptive power.
So that's what we're dedicated to.
That's our purpose.
That's what the website's all about.
Check it out.
Find some content that is
hopefully a blessing to you.
And we'd love to hear from you.
Drop us a line.
My book is coming out.
I would love it and be so
appreciative if you could
join our newsletter,
send us a comment just so
we can capture your email
and send out an invite when
the book is launched.
Yes.
I was thinking when you're
talking about houses that need Jesus,
I was thinking there's a
lot of fraternity houses and.
and such all kinds of
universities that need
jesus there's some tents at
universities right now that
need jesus yes that is for
sure for sure all right
make sure you comment let
us know that you are
watching by just saying
hello like kelly elliott
did thank you kelly hi and
then as we read the the
devotional if you have any
comments about what's being read
Maybe you have something
unrelated you want to add,
or you have any prayer requests.
That would be great because
towards the end of the show,
we will pray for anybody
that puts a prayer request
into the comments.
So make sure to do that.
And then as Hedias said,
just make sure you share
this out with other people
so that they can see it.
You never know what little
nugget will get them.
I literally started my walk
with Jesus by clicking on a
social media post.
That somebody shared.
On the communist YouTube channels.
Yep.
But it was a link on Twitter.
Oh.
I used to be a big Twitter user.
Oh, did you?
I mean, DC, everybody.
Really?
That's all we used.
I never used it until Elon bought it.
Oh, no.
In DC, that's all we used.
Wow.
No wonder they hated it when
Elon bought it.
Yes.
Oh, makes more sense now.
Who knew?
All right.
And also make sure and check
out our sponsors.
LifeWise is one of the sponsors.
Just check it down in the
comments down there.

Get stream yard now.com.
Also a unique URL to us,
where if you sign up, you will get a,
we will get the credit for you joining.
And maybe you have a
devotional you want to read
or a Bible reading.
Someone told me a great
story of a girl that goes on.
She's trying to memorize a former Muslim,
trying to memorize the Bible.
And so she goes on and
recites the scripture that
she's memorized.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So how do we know she's not cheating?
Like, well, thus,
we have a screen right in
front of us that we look at.
We're kind of like Joe Biden.
I mean,
if you're going to pretend that
you're doing that, you're going to hell.
Right.
So don't do that.
Don't do that.
And in the meantime, find Psalm 5,
1 through 3.
We're actually going to read
the whole thing, right?
We decided.
But find that in your Bible.
Have it prepared because
we're going to read that in
its entirety later on.
I say we like I can have
anything to do with it.
I don't.
Oh, I'm losing my voice.
This is not good before we
do the devotional.
Are we reading?
I am reading from Tozer for
the Christian Leader for April 29th.
Let me know when you want to take off.
I will.
And the title is Unanswered Prayer.
Psalm 5,
1 through 2 is the reference for Tozer.
And he says, Give ear to my words, O Lord.
Consider my meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry,
my King and my God.
For unto thee will I pray.
Amen.
Interesting.
I like hearken.
We don't use that enough.
Hearken back to a time.
Yes.
A.W.
says,
if unanswered prayer continues in a
congregation over an
extended period of time,
the chill of discouragement
will settle over the praying people.
If we continue to ask and ask and ask,
like petulant children,
never expecting to get what we ask for,
but continuing to whine for it,
we will become chilled within our beings.
If we continue in our
prayers and never get answers,
the lack of results will
tend to confirm the natural
unbelief of our hearts.
Remember this,
the human heart by nature is
filled with unbelief.
Perhaps worst of all is the
fact that our failures in
prayer leave the enemy in
possession of the field.
The worst part about a
failure of a military drive
is not the loss of men or
the loss of face,
but the fact that the enemy
is left in possession of the field.
In the spiritual sense,
this is both a tragedy and a disaster.
The devil ought to be on the run.
always fighting a rear guard action.
Instead,
this blasphemous enemy smugly and
scornfully holds his
position and the people of
God let him have it.
No wonder the work of the
Lord is greatly retarded.
Little wonder the work of
God stands still.
Lord, show me your power today.
Increase my faith.
Don't ever let the enemy
claim any territory because
of my doubt and unbelief.
Amen.
Wow.
So we took a couple goes at
this to really hone in on
what it was trying to say.
So what do you think AW is
trying to tell us here?
Well,
I think in light of all of the other
ones that we've done about prayer,
he's basically in culmination, I think,
because he's kind of tying
it all together, saying,
we talked about yesterday
from the one that was even before that,
God has no obligation to
answer the prayers of the unrighteous.
So there's a certain amount of obedience,
holiness, righteousness,
pursuit of God's law,
keeping his commandments,
is the first step.
We do that,
then our hearts will be aligned to God.
And even though our hearts
are deceptively wicked,
that Holy Spirit within us
will help guide us to God's will.
Anything we ask will be
answered because we are in
accordance with God's will.
And then prayers will be
answered and our lives will be joyous.
If we, from step one,
are not practicing holiness,
are not following his commandments,
we have these very silly
prayers that are asking for
all kinds of material things.
They don't get granted.
We get disappointed.
We get angry with God.
Our prayers get even sillier.
And it starts this whole
cycle where the entire
church falls apart.
uh because they're either
being taught bad prayers
and bad theology or they're
just you know there's no
there's no victory there's
no transformation in the
body so it's not just
happening to an individual
here and there which of
course I'm sure happens
everywhere but he's talking
about a whole church
collapsing because of that
I mean,
which is an extremely serious thing.
I mean,
when you think about everything
that happened with Carl
Lentz and Hillsong and the
church and now the head of it,
whose name suddenly escaped me,
elderly brain, I'm getting.
But he, like, I mean,
there's millions of people
in the church and it's just, you know,
frazzled.
It just started to disintegrate.
How many people's faith was
tied up in that and then
suffers as a consequence of
bad leadership?
So moral of the story,
make sure you're aligned
with God's will and that
you are attempting to and
take serious following his commandments.
And I think we also see that as a, in a,
you know, on a,
on a state level and on a national level,
if we're to look at the, the, you know,
the Christian faith,
the church of the people,
not just one location that
Calvary Chappuccino Hills, right.
That it's a, it's the Christian faith,
the people, Christendom, the people, um,
that make up the church,
which is all the people, uh,
not in a building that we, um,
We're in bad shape.
We take a step back.
We don't talk enough about
Jesus and about God.
We allow immoral things to
enter our schools,
in our government because
we are too timid to say anything.
Fear is a sin.
Not being courageous for Christ is a sin.
Cowards won't enter heaven.
And so that cowardice is, I think,
additionally,
that's kind of what happens
when you close your eyes
and don't speak up.
And it's interesting.
It's happening everywhere.
I was telling you at dinner tonight,
Sean Voight that does
the... What is his tagline?
Like, what is...
What is he famous for?
Because he did it at Disney.
He basically does these
rallies all over whenever
there's an important issue
for the church.
So he's now doing these
praise rallies wherever
there is the rise of
anti-Semitism on a college campus.
He's basically doing it to
confront the anti-Semitism on campus.
And he had an interview on
Fox today with the Faulkner
Focus and was saying, like,
where are the Christians?
It's like,
why are we tolerating this anti-Semitism?
Why are we not defending our
Jewish brothers and sisters?
He says,
I just can't believe this is happening.
It's just yet another example of us.
falling asleep at the wheel, not caring,
timid, not wanting to get involved.
So they take your schools.
You know,
they started with our elementary schools,
right?
And then they took our high schools.
Now they're taking our upper
university campuses.
And everyone's kind of like, oh,
this is really bad.
And you're like, yeah,
you think it's really bad.
You know,
I just read something that came
across to one of my groups
that I'm in about the
California Teachers
Association taking the
Pledge of Allegiance out of
all of their events.
This is the Teachers Association.
Where's the one place that
you can count on the Pledge
of Allegiance being recited?
Because you don't recite it
after you get out of school.
No.
But that's where you're
supposed to learn it.
Yeah, at school.
At school.
So now the Teachers
Association has decided
we're no longer going to do
this because it's fascist.
to give the Pledge of Allegiance.
And we wonder why we're in
the situation where we put
these organizations in a
position of power over our
schools and have not really fought back.
Now, us all here in PYLUSD,
we have a pretty strong
group of parents who are fighting back.
And we're finding that it is
just a handful of people.
But that's kind of the thing.
You have a handful of people
in these universities that
are getting paid very well
through Soros funds and Rockefeller funds,
I'm finding out,
and some other very wealthy
people and organizations
where you have a group of
people that are then paying
students money.
and outside people to come
in and camp in within these universities?
You know,
we do this everywhere in the world.
And we call it promoting democracy.
And so, oh yeah.
So all of those entities,
the Soros Foundation, the Rockefeller,
all of those, I mean,
I spent years not only
developing the programs,
but evaluating them on
behalf of the State
Department for their efficacy.
And we partner,
we give hundreds of
millions of dollars along
with the other aid
organizations and major
private donations to get
people on the streets to
rally against sitting dictators,
to protest,
Promote democracy.
So when we turn that on our own country,
that machinery is built.
That process is understood.
It's easy.
It's like a cookie cutter.
So it's not surprising that on a dime,
we could turn it on our own country.
And we're accused of
destabilizing countries all
over the world.
And people, and we will be like, no,
we just promote the innate
desire of human beings to
want to be free.
Isn't it crazy?
Yep.
It's wild.
It's wild because when you
start to see it happening
in Western countries, you're like,
wait a minute.
I thought we only do that to dictators,
you know?
But no,
apparently we like to destabilize
Western countries too,
including our own country.
and it's the same people, the same people,
uh, that were out and, and protesting and,
and were violent in the BLM.
It's the same people, same people.
They just changed the mask.
They have a,
they have a constant contact
mailing mailer that goes out to the,
these group of people say, okay,
today we're BLM today.
We're Antifa today.
We are a pro Hamas or pro terrorists.
And, uh,
We know it's the same people
because the same people
that had green hair and
were LGBTQ are now lovers of Hamas,
a terrorist organization that hates them,
hates them all.
My friend made a post commenting on that,
how they're basically the
Antifa thugs that have
changed their outer garments.
And I said,
I think what we need to do is
send them all on a field trip to Saudi.
Yeah.
And just see how long they'll last.
Saudi?
Why can't we do it to Afghanistan or Iraq?
Or the same.
Yeah.
It would literally be as
devastating because the
Matawa in Saudi will beat
you with a stick if you're
on the street with clothes
less than like any part of
your body showing other
than just your hands and your face.
Wow.
They'll beat you with a stick.
So I'd like to send the
greenies to Saudi for a week.
Can we do the same?
Can we put GoPros on them so
we can actually get video of that?
Yes.
And then I want to see how they feel.
It's so ridiculous.
So ridiculous.
And so they do all this, right?
And then just really quick,
where we'll get back on the
devotional in one second,
but now the liberal media
is just up in arms about
Kristi Noem shooting her dog.
In her book,
she talks about this dog that
just was not friendly.
It ate a bunch of chickens on a farm.
And so they shot the dog,
which is fairly normal.
I mean,
it's not normal for every farmer to,
but it's just when
something's not working out,
you usually euthanize the animal.
Why did she have to shoot it?
Why didn't she just take it
to the vet or something?
Well, that's just her story.
I didn't read.
It's in her book.
It was kind of a disobedient dog.
It killed a bunch of chickens.
Well, I get the idea of putting it down.
I mean,
that would happen here in the States,
too.
I mean, in any state, right?
They would take him to the
shelter and they would put him down.
the visit to the
veterinarian is about 200 bucks.
The bullet is like, you know, 15 cents.
I mean, I'm a dog guy.
Listen,
I had a friend of mine who we were
training police dogs.
He's imported this dog.
It probably cost him $4,000.
It was a Rottweiler.
We were out there training it in the dog.
He was the handler.
The dog's supposed to be biting me.
So the dog was biting my arm,
but when he told the dog to
release and he, the dog wouldn't release,
he gave the dog a correction.
The dog turned around and
bit him on the shoulder.
So he just turned around.
I mean, it was a nice bite.
Rottweilers have a hard bite
and you can see it hurt really bad.
So then you just shot it.
So he took the dog up into
the hills and he shot the dog.
So I don't mean to be loud.
I mean, some people would like,
they're just devastated.
Like how could she shoot this dog?
It was only, it was 14 months old,
but a 14 month old dog, depending,
I don't know what kind of dog it is.
It's, it's nearly full grown,
but back to my point,
they're all up in arms
about this whole thing,
but not about a group of people that says,
let's kill the Jews.
Let's kill.
Supporting people who raped
and murdered and pillaged
young Israelis at a festival.
Kill Jews.
They did not do any of those things,
even though we have video of it.
They go, oh,
I can't believe Kristi Noem shot her dog.
It's just the most ridiculous.
We live in a crazy world.
It really is crazy.
God said it would be like this, though.
Are you glad that
Are you glad that you are
here at this time to see
how everything's
prophetically working out in a way?
Not just seeing it,
but being alive at this time to be,
God willing, a benefit to the kingdom.
You know, I think for...
Muslims in particular,
we know violence and we
understand perseverance and
we understand persecution
and we understand courage.
And so I think a lot of
former Muslims coming into
faith right now is to help
strengthen our brethren.
So it's a great time to be a Christian.
It's a great time to be a
warrior of Christ.
What I love going now back
to the devotional is,
which we really didn't leave
the devotional,
but I think hopefully this
kind of rounds it out, is that we,
as far as I know and can tell,
we've been obedient to the
Lord with our moments of being human,
of our sinful self.
Where we repent,
when we do something that
we shouldn't have done,
done or something we thought
or something that we said.
We make a conscious choice
to try to be obedient.
Yes.
And I think that we see the
fruits of that.
yes in the midst of all of
the nonsense that's going
on yes so I think that that
is a the blessing that god
has given those christians
not just us but the
christians that that do
that that um you know it's
not like you don't have
problems right but there's
a there's a peace through
the storm that the lord
gives and there's a victory
that he gives and there's a um
yeah there's just there's
just a special a special um
sense you get from having
the holy spirit's presence
in your life and and
guiding and protecting you
I think in bringing this
back to this point I think
we should read the
scripture which uh yes will
be awesome for this psalm five
The Psalm of David.
Oh Lord,
hear me as I pray and pay
attention to my groaning.
Listen to my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for I pray to no one but you.
Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord.
Each morning I bring my
request to you and wait expectantly.
Oh God,
you take no pleasure in wickedness.
You cannot tolerate the sins
of the wicked.
Therefore the proud may not
stand in your presence for
you hate all who do evil.
You will destroy those who tell lies.
The Lord detests the
murderers and the deceivers.
Because of your unfailing love,
I can enter your house.
I will worship at your
temple with deepest awe.
Lead me in the right path, O Lord,
or my enemies will conquer me.
Make your way plain for me to follow.
My enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
Their deepest desire is to destroy others.
Their talk is foul,
like the stench of an open grave.
Their tongues are filled with flattery.
Oh, God, declare them guilty.
Let them be caught in their own traps.
Drive them away because of their many sins,
for they rebelled against you.
But let all who take refuge
in you rejoice.
Let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread your protection over them.
That all of those who love
your name may be filled with joy.
For you bless the godly, O Lord.
You surround them with your
shield of love.
That's the culmination right there.
All those who take refuge in you rejoice.
If you run to the Lord under his wing,
he gives you that joy,
that shield of love.
I love that.
It's gorgeous.
I love the way that's expressed.
That's what awaits the obedient servant,
the bondservant, as Pastor Bob says.
It's so true in 9 where he says,
my enemies cannot speak a truthful word.
Yeah.
And why?
Because they want to destroy people.
Right.
There's so much hate that no
matter what it is you say,
whether it's good for children,
for instance,
they can't leave it at that.
They can't say, oh, well,
what you just said is
actually pretty good.
They can't do that.
They say, well, that is horrible.
That's fascist.
You are a misogynistic
butthead is what they just
recently was called.
Not in those words, but misogynistic.
Yes.
Another series of words that
they called me.
But that's where they go.
The hate becomes so strong
that the enemy cannot tell the truth.
And their hate just controls
them so much that they
can't see the good.
Yes.
When it is right in front of them.
Kelly says Satan is trying
to come after the children.
That's exactly right.
Oh, Maria said, Shalom and blessings,
brothers and sisters in Christ.
Hope everyone is having a blessed night.
And hi, Corrine.
Hey there.
Amen.
Thank you, sweet Lord.
Corrine,
those flowers you brought to our
house are still kicking.
She said that.
She said if you just water them,
they'll last forever.
Oh, my gosh.
I didn't believe her.
I know.
I've never seen anything like that before.
It's been, what is it?
It was Sunday.
This Saturday will be two weeks.
How crazy is that?
For cut flowers?
Very long time.
She laid a blessing on those flowers.
She did.
She whipped them up like
they were this flower masterpiece,
this floral masterpiece.
Every time I go to the kitchen, I go,
how is that possible that
these things are?
I am replenishing the water.
Are you?
Because I'm usually not good at that.
I just usually let them die.
We had the most gorgeous
orchid plant that I just
literally killed.
It was terrible.
Last night, we didn't get a chance.
I'm not sure if you still
have it on your frontal
cortex of our message on
Sunday by Pastor Bob.
Well, yes, some of it I have.
Is there something in
particular you want to talk about?
I want you to talk about it
and then it'll make me
remember what it was that I
wanted to remember.
OK,
but so one of the things that we talked
about the revelation or in
the book of Revelation is
he goes through with the
help of Amir Sephardi's little trifold,
the difference between the
rapture and the second
coming of Christ and the
importance in distinguishing the two.
He is a pre-trib pastor.
uh pastor like pastor jack
hibbs and uh so he was giving us um
examples of and why we're
supposed to understand
these as two separate events.
And I just love the way, you know,
very similar to Pastor Jack
talking about us as the bride,
but he's basically saying
that all the things that he said about,
I go to my father's house
and I'll have a room for you.
The fact that we are the bride of Christ,
that he is a groom, he comes back for us.
We have the wedding supper and
He's he was explaining he's
like that that happens
first so that when we come
back to rule and reign that
that being betrothed and that gift,
the dowry being ruling over
the nations has been established.
So it makes sense that he
takes us first before we
come back to rule and reign,
because he says he made this funny joke.
He's like, what are we going to do?
Run up in the air,
change our clothes and then
just run back down.
He's like, that wouldn't make sense.
We wouldn't have all of our assignments.
We wouldn't know our positions.
So I really enjoyed that part,
him explaining that.
And just the constant
reminder that we should be prepared,
that the Lord's returning.
And we, again,
need to be practicing
holiness and be busy about
our Father's business.
And...
Encouraging others.
Yep.
It always is the reminder of
being like you said, being busy,
but it's it's.
Because we're so close that
there is no time to wait.
To begin to read the gospel,
obey his commands,
and to repent for those
things that you've done
that are in your flesh.
That we're so darn close.
We're close.
You know, what is he?
I forget how old he is.
But he says he's been a
Christian for 58 years.
Yeah.
The one thing he knows for
sure is he's 58 years
closer to the return of
Jesus Christ than he was
when he first became a believer.
Absolutely.
Oh,
you talked yesterday about the
earthquake.
That was really cool, too.
Yeah, that was really cool.
Maybe that's what it was I was thinking.
I thought that really kind of, wow,
that is so wild.
That the fault line exists
in the place where God says
that the earth will split,
the mountain will split,
the Mount of Olives.
And there's no way that I
don't believe that they
could have known that that
fault was there.
Only God knew it was there.
Just like I knew you in your mother's womb,
just the miracle birth and
childbirth and the creation
of a womb and all of those
things that God foreshadows
in the Bible that were not
known in those days.
Absolutely.
Maria says, Amen.
Thank you, sweet Lord.
Yes.
Did you say that already?
I did.
Karina says, Yay.
Did you say that already?
Yay!
No, I did not.
Did you want to...
Share with the what you saw
when you came home.
Oh, yeah, because I was going to post it,
too.
Can we show it?
We can if you text it to me.
Yes.
I just want to lay a little groundwork.
We're going to be talking
about our daughter, Zara.
And those of you that have
been watching for a while
know the journey,
a little bit of the journey.
Yes.
But it's one of those
journeys where not walking
with Christ necessarily.
At all.
Clearly, actually almost hostile.
Yeah.
And everything from rapid
onset gender dysphoria to
same-sex attraction to...
Substance abuse.
I mean, you name it.
We've been seven years just
in this tornado of crazy, demonic,
horrible, just oppression,
just really horrible oppression.
And I'd say it started to
turn around on Halloween.
On Halloween,
I took Zara to a little odd
out-of-the-way church that
was run by these two young people.
Krista,
I keep forgetting her husband's name,
but it's called Battle Cry Church.
And...
It's a deliverance ministry.
And they basically just for
hours and hours prayed with Zara,
prayed over her, yelling all kinds of,
get out, demon, get out.
Oh, I mean, you name it.
They went from everything
from ancestral curses all
the way up to modern day
abuses and broke every
single one of them off of her,
having her repent
repeatedly for each and
every one of those,
and then finally leading her
um to the lord and ever
since then it's been her
kind of like you know
slowly one toe at a time
you know getting involved
then she went to church
camp and that was
transformative um our
pastor our youth pastor
pastor josh told me that he
saw miracles that weekend
And yeah,
and so this is she is a AP artist.
So she has a portfolio to develop.
And this is one of her final
projects she decided to do,
which is spray paint and regular paint.
as large as I can make it, unfortunately.
So this is a cross with the
verse of Psalm 91 on it.
And in particular, it says,
I will speak... I think
it's the first... I can't
remember if it's the
first... I think it is the
first verses of Psalm 91.
Surely I will speak of your...
Sorry,
I suddenly forgot it because the
words she uses are
different than it's in the Bible.
So it says, oh, I will praise you, O Lord,
with all my heart and tell
of all your wonders.
So those of you who are listening,
what it is we are showing
is that Hedia walked in and
then looked out the window
and saw Zahra outside painting on canvas,
a painting of the cross in pink.
And then the words of, what did you say,
Psalm?
Psalm 91.
And that's one of those
pictures you take of your
kids when they don't know
you're watching them.
She's on her tarp there.
uh that is so amazing I'm
sorry I can't make it any
bigger if I didn't think
about it until just now but
uh yeah just one of those
sneak pictures that uh you
came up and you were I
thought you had wrecked
your brand new car that's
what I thought it happened
she came up she came into
my office which is right
here my office is in the in
the studio and she came
walking up and she had a
look on her face of like I
wasn't I wasn't sure what it was
And tears started coming down her face.
And she's like holding her.
And she just got a brand new
car yesterday.
And I'm thinking, you just came in.
You crashed your car on the first day.
And then we're heading down
the stairs towards the garage at first.
And then you turn into Zara's room.
And then I go, oh, my gosh.
And then I thought, well,
what's wrong with Zara?
And then saw the picture there.
But, yeah, Maria says, like,
Dada's good all the time.
lisa hernandez says now that
the wedding supper is
traditionally seven days
which to the lord is like a
year as in seven years amen
his time was different yes
fantastic but yeah that was
um that was pretty good it
was fantastic it was I'm so
happy that wasn't your car me too
But it is, yeah,
it's just a journey of just
the Lord's goodness.
I think it's always important,
and I brought this up at
one of our home churches.
I can't remember which one.
But I think sometimes you
sell yourself short on the
strength that God has given you.
You never ceased praying,
and you never gave up or gave in.
that this this can only
happen with the strength
god has given you to to not
give up yes to be in prayer
constantly and I think if
we go back to the
devotional it he talks
about it it takes time and
then you know you can begin
to lose faith and then you
begin to pray for other
stuff and then you start to
mess around and then pretty
soon you're no longer praying
but your prayer has never
stopped being strong.
No, and it's not giving in, you know,
because, I mean,
we're never promised tomorrow, right?
So we never know if even
after accepting the Lord,
the children of God forbid
could backslide or whatever it may be,
but you just never,
you stand on the word of the Lord
And you just never give up on him.
That's really what it comes down to.
It's not the person you're
not giving up on.
You're never giving up on him.
You're holding on to his
promise and his word and
knowing that you can never
fail when you hold on to him,
regardless of what the
outcome is on the other end of it.
Mm-hmm.
Rosa Parks Gaming.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
So on Twitch,
we have very interesting names.
Rosa Parks Gaming.
Good evening.
Kelly says, what a beautiful testimony.
Thank you so much, Kelly.
For sure.
We've had different paths, you and I. Yes.
When you are talking about
not giving up on him, big H, God,
that was not easy for me to
not give up on him.
Because I was thinking that
it had something to do,
as I've often said, with me, like
I can do this.
I just need him to kind of
give me a little guidance.
I don't need I don't need all of him.
Right.
And so that also meant that
I could easily blame him.
Right.
I mean,
there's so much that is just wrong
with the way that I live my life with God,
you know, that I didn't need him.
And then all my success was to me.
But then when things didn't go well,
it was all his fault.
Yes.
All those kinds of stuff.
I don't know that I've ever
heard you say that you've ever had that.
It's always been about him.
And so I really love the
fact that you said it
wasn't necessarily about her.
That it's about him,
that you didn't give up on him.
That is really, I think,
important for people to hear.
Not most of our listeners
have been with us for a while,
but people that may be like
Rosa Parks gaming.
Understanding that that is a
very powerful part of even
what this devotional is talking about.
that you're focused on him
and his praise and praising him.
And I really think it's such
a good observation because
it's really at the crux of
what brings peace in my
life because I do it with our marriage.
I do it with her.
I do it with my mom.
It's always about him.
Our marriage is about him.
We wouldn't be together in
any other circumstance.
So I rarely think about Andy does X, Y,
and Z. I'm always like, Lord, how?
Guide me.
What do I do about this?
How do I make this work?
Because I know his promises
were this marriage.
Like I know I stand on that
word because I know it's his word.
So whatever goes wrong,
it's my fault or your fault.
You know what I mean?
It's never his fault.
So if something is not working.
that's because we're not making it work.
You know what I mean?
As opposed to, oh,
we're not supposed to be in
this marriage or even just
blaming the other person.
It's just,
it's always looking for that
relationship with God.
That's what brings peace.
Well, here,
Rosa Parks Gaming says he or
she hopes that one day God finds peace.
Oh, my dear friend,
God has found you today.
God never stopped looking for you.
The question is,
are you willing to find God?
Right.
He knew your name before you were born.
Yes.
Formed you in your mother's womb.
Has a plan and a purpose for your life.
Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
And he came for every one of
us to be saved.
So I hope you will take this
opportunity to meet God where you are.
We actually talk about that
on our website.
Yeah, go to... There you go.
Resurrectministry.com
It's right there.
All you need to know.
And you can contact with us,
communicate with us.
Yeah.
Perhaps lead you to some
things that will help you
understand what it is we're
talking about.
Yeah, we'd love to walk with you,
talk with you.
We'd be happy to help.
God is there right now for you.
He's had his hand out
waiting for you right in front of you.
And like you,
I did not really understand that.
I think that me stumbling on
this broadcast could be a real sign.
Amen.
You know,
we have had a number of people
come to Christ on this broadcast.
So God willing, I mean, that's our heart.
That's our heart on why we do the show.
Why we do the website is to
bring people to know Christ
right where you are.
I met, I met Jesus on YouTube.
So don't think it's strange.
We actually opened up the
broadcast with that talking
about how important it is
to share on social media because we,
you could have a radical
encounter with Jesus right where you are.
And of course,
we pray before we hit the go live button.
And part of my prayer was
that if there was somebody
going to be watching that
needed to know you, God, I was talking to,
not you necessarily.
No offense, but I was talking to God.
If there's somebody that needs to know you,
give us the words or give
them the opportunity to see
what it is we're talking about today.
And here you are.
Yeah, you never intended.
Well, God knows your heart,
so let us know how we can help.
And just a reminder, in case he wasn't on,
I'm assuming it's a he, I don't know why,
but you found God on YouTube.
Through a social media post on Twitter.
A young lady saying that her
pastor changed her life.
And I clicked on the link
and it was just a matter of
months before I prayed and
heard the voice of Christ call my name.
And that was it.
So he will meet you.
He's a relational God.
Our God speaks, communicates, is living,
is capable of transforming
your life in an instant.
So never underestimate the
power that God has, the creator,
the way maker, the miracle worker.
So open your heart, pray,
receive the Lord and watch
the transformation.
You found God on the
Internet through a social media post,
like you said, and then.
I happen to be wandering
around the church for 20
years as a Christian name only,
and only because of coded
that I end up going to a
church in Chino Hills.
Pastor Jack gives a coverage
opportunity hills because
of you finding God on the internets.
Eventually,
you found Pastor Jack Hibbs at
Capuchino Hills.
We end up in line together,
and we see each other.
God tells us,
you two are supposed to be
together for the rest of your lives,
and it brought us together.
So it's not beyond the norm
of God to bring you to a
devotion like ours.
And we're not pastors.
No, we're just two people that love Jesus.
Definitely not pastors.
So this is one of the seeds
that may be leading you to
a relationship with God.
And I think that that would be amazing.
Um, how can I join my local church?
Do I have to sign up before I go?
Oh no, it's absolutely public.
Uh, as far as, as far as I know,
every church in America is public.
So, uh, yeah, uh, but it may be a good,
tell us what town you're in.
Maybe we could help,
but it's good to do a
little research on the internet first, uh,
because there's all kinds
of buildings that look like
they're Christians,
but they may not actually be Christians.
They could be, uh, Mormons or, uh,
uh what is the other one
seven day adventists no
they're not so bad but what
is the other kind of
somewhat goofy exact one
not just mormons uh casper
wyoming oh I wish I knew
something there's got to be
a good church in casper
right um so then probably
more mainstream in casper
but yeah so look for
at a non-denominational
church in your area.
A Calvary typically is a
place of Jehovah's Witnesses.
That was the other one I was thinking of,
yeah.
So avoid the Jehovah Witness
or the Mormons.
The doctrine's way off.
You won't be able to
celebrate your birthday.
Jehovah Witness, Kelly thought of it.
Perfect.
But Calvary's tend to be pretty good.
Yes, absolutely, absolutely.
That's what we go,
Calvary Chapel Chineos and
then Calvary East Anaheim is where we go.
But can we put a link to
real life so that she can
hear Pastor Jack?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You can watch Pastor Jack online.
Yeah, you can watch our pastor online.
He's awesome.
I feel like he said that
there is somebody in
Wyoming that's doing a home church,
which.
Yeah, they have home away church.
Well,
we're going to put up the link to
real life for copy.
Real life because it'll take her to.
The network, Real Life Jack Hibbs.
That's going to take us to
where we upload our videos.
So we're going to put you to
our pastor so that you can
watch him online.
Because honestly,
I watched for six months
online before I stepped foot in a church.
So you could take your time
getting to know the doctrines.
and learning more about Christ.
And then when you feel comfortable,
you go to a church.
Yeah, you should see the link down there.
If you don't, here it is,
but jackhibbs.com.
But yeah, he teaches the Bible.
And just...
On one note, again,
I spent a lot of a couple
of decades in churches
where I really didn't hear
the gospel until I got to Calvary Chapel,
Chino Hills with Jack Gibbs.
He teaches the Bible and
teaches it powerfully, passionately.
You can understand it.
And please, can you go to our website?
Can you put that up again
and drop us a line?
Let us know.
I don't know what your real name is,
but let us know about your journey,
please.
And if we could help,
because I would love to
hear about your journey,
help you pray and receive
the Lord as well.
So whatever we can do to help.
That is that is our heart.
Here's a here's a website link to.
You want to bring up any of
the other Twitch comments?
Oh, so we have some other.
Some are a little goofy, but.
Yes.
How did you get a marriage?
What hacks do you need?
It was all Jesus.
We met in line, literally turned around,
said hello.
And we haven't been
separated since that moment.
We got married in three months.
So can you date a stripper
if I'm in love with her?
I don't think it's her profession that is.
I mean,
I think you both need to come to Christ.
And then he says he's a pastor.
Wait one second.
I'm a pastor.
I don't believe it.
I don't know something about it.
I don't believe.
and which has some of our
favorite comments right in
the years that we've been
doing I used to sell sell
smoothies and then I became
a youth pastor helping them
as guided all right maybe a
youth pastor I might
believe that yeah but um
rosa parks interesting
gaming I'm so interested to
see what that oh gaming as
in playing like keep doing
it yeah yeah I was thinking
gaming as in gambling
Oh, no.
I figured it was video games.
I should have realized that.
All right.
So we pray for Rosa Parks Gaming.
Yes.
Do you want to give us your real name,
Rosa Parks Gaming, by chance?
Yeah.
We would love to be able to
all pray for you.
Yeah.
Pastor Jack teaches the
Bible better than anyone I've ever heard.
I've been a Christian since I was a child.
Amen.
Yeah.
He's a great teacher.
You're going to enjoy listening to him.
And that's not to take
anything away from Pastor Bob.
Absolutely.
Pastor Bob is... He's more
of a local pastor.
Pastor Bob?
Yeah.
Pastor Jack is a national pastor.
Yeah, international.
I mean, he's just a, I don't know.
Pastor Bob is a wonderful local pastor.
Like, he's so warm.
It feels, it's like a hometown church,
you know?
And he teaches the Bible brilliantly.
I think it's just the
personalities of the two
are just slightly different.
Hmm.
And I don't want to say this
in a negative way,
but Pastor Jack is somewhat
of a celebrity in the sense
that it's harder.
Like we've already gone out
to dinner with Pastor Bob.
Yes.
And his wife.
And I enjoy that.
I mean, I always, you know,
we're actually extremely
blessed because we have
access to Pastor Jack,
unlike most people.
We've never had dinner with him.
But we've never had dinner with him.
I had lunch with him.
Oh, did you really?
Yes.
What?
At the church?
No, no.
Get out of church.
Where was I?
Yeah, that was way before you.
Me and Jim.
Oh, it's a woman.
Sorry.
I assumed it was.
How did you know that?
Rosa Parks.
Come on.
We've seen some pretty silly names.
But it wouldn't have been a
guy with that name.
Nassandra.
So we're going to be praying
for Nassandra.
I love that.
That's an important prayer.
Yeah.
But don't let this stop here.
Click on the link for Resurrect Ministry.
Click on and listen to an
entire message of Pastor Jack.
You will go, oh my gosh, I had no idea.
I did that the very first time I went.
I had no idea the Bible said that.
I had no idea that's what that meant.
Yeah, Nisandra,
what's your experience with Christianity?
Did you grow up in a home without God,
or did you grow up in a
Christian home where you
just walked away?
What was your upbringing?
I'm curious.
I want to know.
Nisandra Cordell.
Hmm.
Pray first and then maybe
the answer will come as well.
Oh, my parents believed in God,
but I was never taken to church.
Fascinating.
Well, I used to be a Muslim.
Andy, as he said, walked around a church,
but wasn't actually a Christian.
Hey, I was walking around mosques.
I was a very devout Muslim
before I met Jesus.
Head covering and everything.
Yeah, whole nine yards.
You can check it out on the website.
A lot of funny pictures.
So all of you that are watching,
especially our regular viewers,
if you could join us,
and I know you do join us,
but join us in prayer for Nassandra,
getting closer to having a
relationship with Jesus Christ.
I think that would be amazing.
Yes.
Dear Lord, thank you.
Thank you for this blessing.
amazing time this amazing
time with your sons and
daughters um and with our
new friend nissandra lord
we lift her up to you and
we ask that you come in
power that you come in
spirit and in truth and
that you show her that you
are a living god that you
are a relational god that
you are a god who responds
to his children who calls
them that you have
predestined through your foreknowledge
for those who would respond to the call.
And Lord,
we lift Nassandra up as she makes
this outpouring to know God
and to know you, Lord,
and that you will answer that call.
And she will know.
She will know without a
shadow of a doubt that it is you,
that there'll be,
whether it's a dream or a
vision or your voice or in
reading your word or watching the videos,
Lord,
that she will know that Jesus Christ is,
That walked on earth as the man, God,
entirely God,
entirely man died and rose
again for us to be made right.
to pay the price of our sins
so that we could spend an
eternity in paradise, Lord.
Teach her the simple gospel
and that all she has to do
to believe is to profess
with her mouth and believe
in her heart that Jesus
Christ is Lord and died for her sins,
Lord.
We love you.
We're so grateful for all
that you do in and through us.
We ask you to bless our friends,
all of those that are
suffering from diseases and ailments,
Lord,

through
a paralysis right now, Lord.
She's her emotional support right now,
Lord.

loved ones and everyone in
our lives that bring us joy, Lord.
Thank you for your healing
hand and for all that you
do with our lives and for
the immense joy you give
your sons and daughters.
We love you.
It's in the mighty name of
Jesus that we pray.
Amen.
