JACK: Well imagine for a moment if an autopsy was performed on
the United States of America. Now an autopsy is performed when
someone is dead. But what if America is either dying or is
dead and you say, pastor, how could you say such a thing?
Well, one of the arguments that I have is that we are in fact a
constitutional republic, but is there evidence of that? You see,
listen, today you and I are standing at really the
crossroads of what this nation will decide, a very critical
moment. Now, I know that every politician and every news
service will say this is the most important election ever in
our lives. That is going to be repeated until time comes to an
end. But the fact of the matter is America is a nation that was
born out of the work of God, but it must be maintained by us
regarding stewards of that work of God. We are to maintain the
republic as Ben Franklin encouraged us to do. Listen, I
gave a message not all that long ago and it was rather dramatic
and lemme tell you the reason why is this robe that you're
seeing, this is right out of my office and this is a colonial
era robe from what is known as the Black Robed Regiment. The
Black Robed Regiment were the believers in the colonial period
from roughly from about 1720 all the way up to about 1790, the
Black Robed Regiment. And the reason why they were called a
regiment is because King George III called them that. King
George III from England said these preachers and pastors are
a problem. They are inspiring people and encouraging people to
break away from King George being king to Jesus being king.
And so recently, and you're about to see this, I've only
worn this six times in 35 years of ministry and I bring it out
as this old piece of paper I wrote on years ago says, leave
here, that is hanging up. Use in case of acts of tyranny and our
nation is in a very critical situation right now. Friend our
nation is at the crossroads. What will you do? Will you vote?
Will you stand up and vote or will you have excuses as why you
shouldn't get involved? Listen, let's remember this. The truth
of the matter is that the answer is not going to come from the
White House. The answer is not going to come. The Messiah is
not going to arrive on Air Force One. The answer is in God's
house. It's not in the State House, it's not in the White
House. The answer is in the house of God. Where you, I trust
reside. So it's time for us to get on our knees. It's time for
us to pray. It's time for us to do what is right. Listen, if 65
million Americans claim to be evangelical Christians and only
half of those are registered to vote, why is that? But if they
were to register to vote and get involved in exercise
righteousness, what could happen? God could show
us mercy. So listen, let's dive into this message titled
"The Autopsy of America" and see what we find.
JACK: Just as God warned the nation of Israel and any nation,
your land will be filled with confusion and our land is full
of confusion. God gave birth to the nation of Israel and that is
a matter of biblical fact. The interesting thing about God
giving birth to the United States is that it is an
historical fact. There is no mention of America being birthed
as a nation in the Bible, yet no one educated can deny the fact
that the United States has had more of God's blessings than
perhaps even Israel itself over the years. What God did for
Israel in the space of thousands of years, God did in beyond for
America and couple hundred years, how could that possibly
come to pass? How could that happen? Because our pilgrim
fathers saw that by chance, if we as a people who believe in
his Word would seek his face, it might be that God would want to
do a work among those who trust Christ. Our founding fathers
knew that they were not Israel. They knew that, they weren't
confused, but they also made reference and preached messages
regarding the fact that God's promises are open-ended to any
nation who will take up his promises. That God's word to us
is to anybody who will take up his word to obey. This is so
true that if Russia today or if North Korea today picked up the
Bible to obey it, God would begin to bless their land. God
would begin to bless their leadership. God will not turn
away anyone who calls upon him in humility. When people pray
humbly before God and seek his face based upon the Word of God,
not to pray that you might win the lotto or have a happy day,
but that God might rule and reign in America again through
the hearts and minds of men and women, do you think that kind of
prayer is going to go unopposed by the forces and powers of
darkness? Think again. If you are today, and I can't imagine
you being at this church, but if you are today somebody who
practices recreational Christianity, it's time to wake
up and get real. These are desperate times. It is obvious
on all fronts. What will become of America? Only God knows, but
this we know, if we will turn and seek his face, repent of our
sins and humble ourselves. God says, I will heal your land. I
don't know what that means, but I know it's good, but with all
due respect, we have to qualify that. That's a condition. Did
you know that? Well, I thought salvation was free. I'm not
talking about salvation. By the way. Salvation is free, but not
to God. It cost him everything. Thus it's free to us. He doesn't
accept our currency, but regarding this country, there's
a qualifier. If my people, let's be honest, have you been
weeping? Have you been sick to your stomach? Have you been
unable to eat? Are you watching the systematic rise of those
manifestations that the Bible says is of demonic activity?
Then you know this, we call it mental illness. There is mental
illness, but I'm not buying that everything that's going on is of
mental illness. First of all, if it is mental illness, where's
all that coming from? I think the mental illness that we do
have is certainly a result of spending 40 hours a week playing
video games and never seeing the light of the day and having
Pepsi and donuts for breakfast. That stuff will kill you. The
brokenness of family, we read it today, that will destroy you.
The attempted banning of preaching of the gospel so that
young people think that there were nothing but a successful
exit out of a primordial mud hole of evolution, and then
somebody grabs a rifle and shoots up a classroom and we are
all in shock. What a bunch of hypocrites. We tell people
they're a derivative of an animal and a monkey, and then we
expect them to act like angels in the classroom or on the
streets. What a bunch of hypocrites. Our nation needs to
turn back to God. Listen, when it says nation, don't wait for
Barack Obama or Donald Trump or Gavin Newsom or anybody else.
It's not going to happen until I turn back to God. It's not going
to happen unless you turn back to God. Don't leave this service
today and saying, you know those people need to return back to
God. No, it's us. We are here in this condition because of the
church. Do you not know history? Alexis de Tocqueville gets
dispatched from Paris, from Versailles. You've got to go
take this assistant with you we'll fund the whole trip.
You're brilliant. You're a great observer, your great
philosopher. You're just the right man following the
Revolutionary War and the victory of the colonies over
Great Britain go figure out how did they do that and then bring
back the report so we can have a revolution here just like they
did. Tocqueville came to America and he went throughout the
colonies. You can read it. He wrote the book. Taking notes,
notation this, notation that, and he was puzzled out of his
own mouth, he was puzzled as to the greatness of America. How
could this be happening? This upstart nation defeats the
greatest military power on the face of the earth. How is it
that this nation in its army loses almost every battle and
then somehow wins the war? So it's not their military
strength, everybody knows that, so he checks that off his list.
He goes to the fields and De Tocqueville writes, unbelievable
production of apples and peaches, walnuts, cherries,
wheat. The farmer is getting so much out of one square acre of
land I've never seen such a thing. Bounty, writes that down,
cattle, all of it, he writes it down. But he said, listen, this
is brilliant. He said, this still doesn't explain the
greatness of America. What makes the ground do this? Do you
remember in California you guys, years ago I was born, listen,
born in San Diego, this is as far north as I've ever lived,
but I remember the days of California when the Central
Valley in the Salinas Valley, you could almost spit on the
ground and strawberry bush would grow. Did you know that
California was the fruit and vegetable basket of the nation?
Of the entire nation. The Salinas region, it was known as
the salad bowl of America. Did you know that? De Tocqueville
can't figure it out, and he is about ready to get back on the
ship and head back to France, but he went to church and he
said, I just found out America is great. He wrote, because
America is good. The day that America ceases to be great will
be because it ceased to be good. America is in its last twilight
gleaming the very founder of this nation, the first citizen,
the first commander in chief, the first general, the first
president bowed his knee daily in prayer to Almighty God. So
much so the famous painting from Valley Forge is not a hoax, it's
not a joke. Isaac Potts was dispatched to keep an eye on
Washington as he went into the woods away from the starving
forces of the colonial army, feet frozen in snow, bloodied
trails left behind by bloody feet and ice cold weather. Did
you know at Valley Forge we were eating the soles of our boots?
Did you know that we were eating and chewing on bark off the
trees? We were reduced to nothing and Washington left his
troops and it was noticed. Where's he going? And he walked
his horse into the woods and he got on his knees in the snow and
he prayed and part of that prayer was written down by the
man who heard him. That man also said in that moment, I knew
right then and there, there is no way for Britain to defeat the
United States if the God of benevolent heaven heard this
man's prayer. Is this too much for people? Is this a message
that I'm saying that will gender criticism? I hope so. We are so
ignorant of American history. We don't even know this nation and
how it came into being. But do you realize that if we got on
our knees and prayed, God might do something. Can we get on our
knees and pray? For those of you who don't care to remain seated,
some of you cannot physically get on your knees. Actually,
that's just, it's too tight, isn't it? You want to stand? Can
you get on your knees? Okay, let's do it. Let's get on our
knees. Yep. You can be part of Newsweek's headlines, pastor
forces, people at Sharpie pinpoint to get on their knees.
Father, we come before you right now. We pray right now that
unless you watch the gate, the watchmen watches it in vain.
God, our nation has been torn open. Our borders have been
destroyed. Our economy is imploding. Our children are
exposed to the violence of the streets. We are in debt. We have
forsaken Almighty God and we ask you Lord in Jesus' name that you
had awakened the United States of America for no other reason
but to bring you glory. God wake us up to the reality. This
nation has not won a war since World War II and we live off of
hype, showmanship, so much of it, perception, we have been
hollowed out because you are no longer the epicenter of this
nation. Lord, we invite you to come back to this country with
mercy, come back to this country God, we plead, we ask upon you
and we plead upon you, almighty God, to forgive us of our sins,
expose the pornographers, expose Lord the drunkenness, expose
Lord the evil, expose the aberrant sexuality, expose the
robbery, expose Lord the idolatry, expose the things that
have ravaged this nation all the while you, you have been
targeting our ears all along and saying, church, will you hear
me? Church, listen, and Father, I pray today that instead of
President Trump raising his fist in victory, which I understand
any political photo of that, I mean that is a poster, no doubt
about it. That's a commercial clip. No doubt about it. I pray
that you would just dissolve that thinking and that there
would be the going to the knees. Father God, we pray now and we
ask in Jesus' name for you to do a miracle in our midst. Start
with California. If you're going to start with California, start
with us, but dear God in heaven, may we not wave a flag all over
the place without the Holy Spirit being pleased with our
conduct. The only answer is going to come from God's house
and we pray, Lord God, in Jesus' name and all God's people said
CONGREGATION: Amen.
JACK: Amen. Church family, I'm going to ask you to hear this,
right? You hear this all the time, but for God so loved the
world. I heard a very famous preacher this last week say that
God only loved those who believed in him and he did not
love those who did not believe in him. It's too bad Jesus
didn't know that. For God so loved the world, Jesus said,
that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever would believe
trust in him would not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus
Christ loves you. He died on the cross your sins, but for you to
reject and disobey his free offer of eternal life leaves you
in the condition that you're in. To throw the gift back in his
face is to have no gift, and it's that gift that you must
have to enter into heaven. I pray that for you. I pray that
would sweep this nation. Time is running out. I pray that you
sense the great sense of urgency, that we would stop
being idle and that we would obey him.
JACK: Well, it's kind of radical I know, right? To think that
America could be at the end of her life. The issue of America
and Americans getting involved in our constitutional republic
is something that you don't hear anymore and I'm just beginning
to wonder just how far along are we? Is it even possible perhaps
that America is either A on life support or B has already passed
away? Well, listen, the truth of the matter is that as you just
saw, that this message I gave was one of a call to a solemn
assembly. If we don't get that, then we'll never get it, now's
the time. Or do we think maybe it's not bad enough? I don't
know. I certainly do. I pray that this nation would honor God
again and so as you know, as you saw all those in attendance we
got on our knees and we prayed for America, and I'm asking you
to do the same thing. With your family, with your church, with
your friends, alone if you need to. Get alone and pray for our
leaders because no matter what, there's going to be a transition
of power and may the transition of power by God's mercy be one
that will at least honor a remnant of a Judeo-Christian
worldview value, the Bible because there are those clearly
in the two parties representing this election that are for life
and those that are not for life, for religious freedom or not.
The choice is actually yours. Listen, to help us get the Word

stay close to him because our faith in him
is what truly matters. God bless you.
