this not our day? Who put darkness for light and light for
darkness, bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Woe to those

confusion. Something to twist, something to turn, something to
make untrue good is under attack today.

JACK: Friends, listen, we are at war
according to the Bible, and I'm not talking about
war mongering, I'm not talking about promoting war
at all. In fact, I'm waiting for the prince of peace to
return Jesus Christ Himself. But the fact of the matter is listen
carefully to this. We are at war on all fronts. It's not
something that's just between nations and political powers.
It's about invisible warfare that the Bible tells us about.
You and I obviously live right here on planet earth in the
physical realm that is clearly obvious. You and I live, we act,
we breathe, we interact on the physical realm, but notice what
is being animated in the physical realm as being animated
by invisible attributes of who we are. Our soul. Our spirit
animates our body. Our brain doesn't do what our will is. Our
brain is about an eight pound piece of gray matter. It's the
soul and the spirit that resides mysteriously spiritually in who
we are. The Bible tells us that we are actually as believers the
temple of the living God. That's a spiritual declaration. So
listen, when I talk about war, I'm talking about physical
things being manifested in the realm of the spirit and vice
versa, by the way, spiritual things manifest in themselves in
the physical world around us is equally true. Sometimes it's
pretty unexplainable perhaps, sometimes it's pretty
terrifying. Sometimes you throw your hands up and you say,
what in the world is going on? So let's grab
our Bibles because the truth is we're at war.
JACK: Number eight, the war against men,
the war against men. I believe when a
Satan's greatest attacks is against men, keep men dumb.
Don't let them lead. Have them take the backseat. Don't
let them sacrifice. Don't let them do the things that God
designed them to do. I believe Satan is against these things. A
man was created a certain way obviously, a woman was created a
certain way, a man was created in a certain way for sure, and
God knows exactly what He's doing. Genesis chapter 1 verse
26. Then God said, let us, notice the trinity. Let us make
man in our image. God says mankind, but He started with
Adam. I tell this as often as I can. It's amazing to me. Eve is
the mother of mankind. All people came from Eve, but Eve
came from Adam. Is that wild? God put him to sleep, yanked out
his rib. I dunno, if He yanked out his rib, but He took his
rib. The Bible says again in Genesis chapter 1 verse 27, next
verse. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God,
He created him, male and female, He created them. Absolute
symbiotic perfection. God speaks, creates male, female,
completely different but compatible and they come
together as one. What an amazing thing. But you and I live in a
world of lies right now. Lies like this. Men cannot be strong.
You're not allowed. So what do men do? They back away. Men are
told they can't be leaders anymore. Men are told that they
can't have an opinion anymore. If you watch the commercials on
tv, honestly go watch them. We don't know how to buy a battery.
We can't shop. We don't even know how to use our phones. We
can barely walk, actually. We have to use our knuckles to walk
and a man cannot possibly know what he should do with his life.
There's a war on men. I find it interesting by the way, in the
world of biology, did you know that when a woman miscarries, do
you know the bulk of miscarried babies are males? Did you know
from the moment of conception the male has a strike against
them all along the way? How many children are brought into the
world more male or female? Female by far, I think Satan
hates men. Number nine is the war against women. The war
against women. In Genesis chapter 2 verse 18, the Lord God
said, it is not good that man should be alone. I will make him
a helper comparable to him. Comparable. Comparable. Look
what the Hebrew meaning of the word is, it's absolutely
awesome. The word for the wife and the husband, relationship
for the woman in this in life period when God says, I've made
for Adam a woman, she is to be conspicuous. Think of that word.
That's what the Hebrew word means. Obvious. She's to be
obvious. It is obvious, that's Adam's wife. An ally, a woman is
to be an ally. The answer, the mean, the word means one who
encourages, informs, denounces, displays, explains, to give
evidence, to inform, to speak plainly. Now, I am reading you
God's definition of why there's a woman, why God gives wives,
and I love the reality of this, to be an ally. Most of us men at
times are tempted to reject the ally feature of the wife. That
comes from insecurity. She encourages, she informs, she
denounces. You say, I don't like that. I know you don't like that
because that's her saying, I think you're wrong about you
should have made a left turn back there. She says, you ought
not to be doing that. She speaks truth. She speaks plainly. She
informs. The power of a woman. I forget who said this, I'm just
going from memory, but the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the
world. And boy, that's so true. The power of a woman, wife, be
it a mother, the power of a woman, and friends today we're
in a world at war. Number 10 because I'm going quick now is
the war against children. We're all aware of this one. It's this
one though that I have a hard time controlling my emotions
personally and I confess that upfront. The Bible says in
Proverbs 22 verse 6, train up a child in the way that he should
go or she should go. And when he is old or when she is old, they
will not depart from it. Now this is an important passage of
scripture. It's often misunderstood. When the Bible
says train up a child in the way that it should go. Now I need
all of you to take, you need to handle this. You ready? Ushers,
lock the doors. Nobody escapes. This is pure truth and here it
comes right out of the Bible. You're pregnant, you have a baby
and you go home with the baby and your friends call you or
whatever, email, text, I dunno. What'd you have? None of us ever
took our kid on the way home called our parents or
grandparents, we don't know. We're not sure what we have
here. We don't even know yet. We don't know. So take a look. Look
under the hood. What's there? What do you see? I'm speaking
what every 5-year-old knew 20 years ago, maybe even last week.
We live in a world that is so deceived with the war on truth
and logic and everything else that we're talking about, that
there are those who would argue with you about your own child if
you were to say, hey, celebrate with us. We just had a little
boy, and they'll post on your site or something. How do you
know? Don't even answer people like that. The Bible says, never
answer a fool in their folly. Did you know that? I need to
text them back. I need to email that. Don't you dare. You don't
answer a fool in their folly. You just let them be in their
folly. Don't engage them. My point is this, friends, the
Bible says, train up your child in the way that they should go.
That means you check the plumbing if you're confused.
Look, some people have twins, male, female, boy, girl twins.
They look exactly the same at birth, except body parts. Their
biology is different, their chemistry is different. They're
different even if they're twins. And the Bible says even if you
have twins like that, train them up in the way that they should
go. You check the plumbing and you realize she's a girl and
he's a boy. Listen, this is going to be a hard truth. You're
going to hate me for this. No, seriously, without any
intentions, without any preconceived notions, your
4-year-old boy might grab your high heels and go down the
hallway clicking your high heels because it sounds cool. What are
you supposed to do as a parent? Do you stand and observe or do
you say, yo, dude, here's the deal. Those are for your sister
and for mommy. Get your dad's boots and take a listen to how
those sound. Let's put those on now, put your dad's boots on and
go down the hallway stomping. What are you doing? It's called
parenting. Watch. Watch this. Oh, but watch. The woke
progressive world that we live in will say, oh my gosh, you're
abusing that child. Oh yeah. What do you want us to do? Give
them to us. We'll totally make them into our image. Isn't that
funny? You are not allowed to parent, but they are allowed to
groom. You can't. You brought that child into the world, but
you have no authority over that child, the moment that kid
crosses the property of the school, which you pay for.
They'll tell them what their gender is and immediately your
little kids, our little kids are being confronted with the
philosophy of these of a dark world or a world of light, a
world of lie or a world of truth. The reason why we're
seeing so much going on in our culture today regarding this
generality stuff is because of a lack of parenting. Listen, if
you don't want to be courageous, don't be a parent. If you don't
want to grow up, don't be a parent. But if you want to be a
parent, you got a parent, and listen, sometimes there's events
with boy and or girl, it doesn't matter. Go out in the backyard
with them, roll around in the mud, chop down a tree, change
the oil in the car, get the son and daughter down there, get all
dirty, fun and sweaty. It's awesome. They love it. But
there's certain things that God has preserved for women and
young girls, and there's certain thing that God has preserved for
boys and for men and to mess with that, to mess with that
equation is to destroy a child's mind. That child didn't destroy
their mind. We either allowed it or we left them vulnerable to
the powers that be and the powers that be are diametrically
opposed to the plan of God in our world around us. Children
are under attack. Good is under attack, good is under attack
today. The Bible says in Isaiah chapter 5 verse 20, woe to those
who called evil good and good evil. Is this not our day? Who
put darkness for light and light for darkness, bitter for sweet
,and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own
eyes. That is two verses on pure confusion. Oh, look at the
beautiful sunlight out right now. That's not sunlight,
something to twist, something to turn, something to make untrue
good is under attack. You do good today and you'll be
probably ridiculed for it. Get in trouble for it. And then
finally, you guys is the war against the pulpit and we'll end
with this. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 20, it starts out by
saying the mystery of the seven stars. By the way, this is Jesus
speaking, the mystery of the seven stars, which you saw in my
right hand and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are
the seven angels, not angels that like Gabriel or Michael.
These are angels, we would say pastors, messengers,
proclaimers. The seven stars are the seven pastors, proclaimers,
messengers of the seven churches, the Ekklesia, the
congregation, the church, and the seven lampstands, which you
saw are the seven churches, chapter 2, verse 1, and to the
pastor of the church at Ephesus writes seven times, Jesus will
say, and to the pastor of the church at Ephesus, the pastor of
the church of Thyatira, to the pastor of the Church of
Laodicea, to the pastor of the church at Sardis. Are you with
me everybody? To the pastor of the Church of Philadelphia, and
he speaks to them. Listen, this is the 21st century and this is
2024. The world around us has fallen apart and yet it's the
glorious hour for the church to stand, but listen, the church
won't stand unless it's got pastors in the pulpit that are
more afraid of the judgment of God than of the governments.
You've got to fear God. I am going to quote myself here on
this. If it offends you, then that's on me, but the pastor's
to be a man of God called to be the voice of God to the church
and to the culture to which he's been called, the pastor's real
estate matters. Location, location, location is his
pulpit, where he has been placed and those who are influenced by
his calling will be witness of it. In other words, there are no
pastors in America unless they've got Bible open and
they're teaching the flock of God to look to God, to know God,
and to know God's Word. And this year is going to cause a great
shaking. And you're going to see, I don't know what, pretend
pastors from real pastors and don't be surprised by the end of
the year that the pretend pastors will be gone, but the
real pastors will be standing bloody cheeks, swollen eye,
missing a tooth, armor dented. But thank God armor was used.
But church, according to the Bible, the pulpit is the place
where the truth is to be proclaimed without apology.
According to the Bible, the pulpit is the place where the
church is trained in righteousness, according to the
Bible, it's the place where faith is ever increasing and
developed. And according to the Bible, the pulpit is the place
where biblical doctrine has and is the final Word of God. We are
living in some very perilous times. I'm going to ask you to
stand as I read to you these last final scriptures here
regarding the pulpit. First verse, Jeremiah chapter 3 verse
15. God says, I will give you shepherds according to my heart
who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. Just think
about that for a moment. Ask yourself this question. Is this
happening on the pulpits of America? In some places, yes.
The by and large, no. Next verse, Jeremiah 23:4, I will set
up shepherds over them who will feed them and they shall listen,
they shall fear no more. Why? Whatever food, the shepherd's
feeding the sheep of God, the result is they don't have any
more fear. They're not dismayed anymore, nor shall they be
lacking, says the Lord. That's powerful stuff. You don't need
to be afraid. It's flu season happens every year. Klaus Schwab
announced the other day that the X virus is coming. Did you see
that? It's called the X virus. It's not funny, by the way, the
X virus, it's a designer virus. No, I mean it's made. Don't be
afraid. Why? You have this Word. And He Himself gave some to be
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors,
teachers for the equipping of the saints. That's you. That's
us for the working of ministry. That's what we do, for the
edifying of the body of Christ. That's why we love on one
another. That's what it's for. It's called church. I'm going to
ask you to lift your hands in dedication to God. Halfway
through this prayer, if you chicken out, put your hands
down. Heavenly Father, we stand before you with our hands
outstretched and we dedicate our lives to you today. We ask you
Holy Spirit, to possess us, to fill us, to baptize us afresh in
the renewing power of your Word. Heavenly Father, we declare the
name of Jesus. We may be standing with hands raised high,
but we proclaim before heaven as our witness. Our hearts are
bowed low, our knees are bowed low. We proclaim Him and Him
alone, Lord and Savior. We dedicate our lives to the Lord
now. We pray that every step of our lives from this moment
forward and this year to come now that God, we would be
ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For God's so loved the
world that He gave H0is only begotten son, that whosoever
would believe on Him, would not perish, but have everlasting
life. That you would trust Jesus and that the world would hear
the gospel through us, that Christ died for us and rose
again from the dead. So Father, here we stand. We ask you to
fortify us and to galvanize us and to cause us to speak up and
to stand up and to show up. God that we might honor you as
husbands, as men, as wives, as women. Our children would be
blessed. And God, we pray, we pray. So I pray selfishly that
starting from Chino Hills, the pulpits of America might catch
fire with the Holy Spirit's presence like this nation has
never seen before until it reaches the tip of Maine into
the Keys of Florida, into the islands of Washington state and
everywhere in between, we dedicate ourselves to you dear
God. We pray in Jesus name and all God's
people said, amen. God bless you.
JACK: Well friends, listen, it is so
obvious that we are at war in our culture,
in our world, in the church, in our very faith. Listen,
now's the time for us to just stop playing it safe. I
think the days of being spectator Christians are long
gone. We are in the fight of our lives as believers. We are to
stand for what is right, speak up for what is true. In fact,
God warns us that we ought not to be silent in the day of
adversity. for pastors, we are commanded to blow the trumpet of
warning to God's people. No more are the assumptions that the
ship's just going to right itself. We're living in the last
days friends, as Jesus said. But listen, all I know for sure is
that we have the Word of God, but that's not a statement of
desperation. It's a statement of assurance. All I know is that we
have the Word of God, because that's all we need. You and I
have got Jesus Christ. He is the commander in chief of this
battle, in this war, and he's the captain of our souls and
he's leading us on into victory. Now I'm talking about the
victory that after you and I have been contending against
evil, we've been speaking up against what's wrong. We've been
sharing our concerns to our elected officials, to the police
chief, to the school board, to the office, whatever it might
be. We are Christians first and that we are to be shining that
light. We are to be that salt. And what is so important about
us being commanded to do that is that if we do that and we must
do that, friend, we must do. It's not like if, but since we
are going to do that, we must be busy about our Father's
business, that's the key, to be busy about our Father's
business. That's why we right here want you to be in the Word
of God 24/7, 365. So listen, if you're not already a subscriber
