The Easter Message You Needed

This sermon explores the systematic effort to deconstruct Christian values within Western society, tracing a "long march through the institutions" that began with Marxist and secular humanist thinkers. From the removal of prayer in schools to the modern reframing of faith as a tool of oppression, the message outlines how cultural movements and legal battles—like the Scopes Trial and the weaponization of "separation of church and state"—have aimed to marginalize the Church and normalize a secular worldview. It identifies these shifts not just as political changes, but as a spiritual conflict designed to make believers feel embarrassed or hesitant to celebrate their faith openly.

A significant portion of the message specifically addresses the "Easter is Pagan" myth, debunking claims that the holiday originated from the goddess Ishtar or Eostre. By examining linguistic evidence and historical records, the sermon reaffirms that Easter is rooted in the Hebrew Passover and the historical Resurrection of Jesus. Ultimately, the message calls for Christians to remain unashamed and unintimidated, reminding the congregation that the Church has outlasted every empire and ideological movement that has tried to silence it.

So you can follow along. And on this resurrection Sunday, I like to talk about. I know that all across America and churches all across America, you're going to get the sermon that you expect to get. Every person that comes to visit church, whether they're Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, if they go into a Christian church because they want to go with a friend or they're invited because it's a special holiday, they know that they're going to hear that Jesus is alive. And uh they expect to hear that. And with that expectation, it's a certain inoculation against the power of the truth. You know, an inoculization is like a vaccine. If you have uh a virus going around, what a vaccine does is it gives you a little bit of that virus just enough so you can resist the virus. That's what a vaccine technically has done for many years. Okay. Now I'm not talking about the new, you know, scientifically made, you know, nanobytes by vaccines are giving now, but a traditional vaccine inoculates you with a little bit of truth, just enough to resist the full virus. Amen. And if truth was a disease, if truth was a virus that should take over your whole life and destroy all unbelief and and and every deception, amen, then the plan is from the enemy to give you just a little bit enough to resist the real thing. So what I want to do today is I don't want to just preach and teach a message on Christ is alive, he is risen, because that's what you're expecting to hear, and that's what anybody watching on YouTube or social media would be expecting to hear. Uh or what we could do is a defense. We could do a defense of those truths, which I believe would be even better. But I'm gonna do a little bit uh little bit farther behind just a defense, because the defense is good. I was planning on doing a defense, but I want to go a little bit beyond just a defense, but I want to show I want to show the satanic plan against the truth. Okay, so we're gonna look at our scriptures that we've been studying over the last few weeks on the Antichrist, because this does fit directly into our message. And the name of today's message is the systematic deconstruction of Christianity in Western Society. Amen. The systematic deconstruction of Christianity in Western society, and maybe God willing, we will talk about soon the satanic agenda for the Catholic Church, which is called the reclamation of the Protestant movement into the into the Catholic Church, which will set us up for the world false religion and the antichrist coming. So this is why we see a revival in the Catholic Church and many people converting to Catholicism as part of the Antichrist plan to bring as many people into that one world religion. So we'll look at that later on, but today we're going to look at the systematic deconstruction of Christianity in Western society. Uh, so first John chapter 2, verse 18. Let's turn there in your Bibles and let me know when you get there by saying amen or hallelujah or something. Let me hear, let me give me some response so I know that you get there. 1 John 2, 18. All right, amen. Praise God. I think the computer guys have beat the Bible flipping pages, guys. You just type it in, it comes right up, amen. First John 2.18. There we go. We do have the reference on the slides there. Let me put on my glasses. And without my suit jacket and without my tie, I do feel a little bit cooler today. A little not so hot, not so sweaty. Amen. First John 2 18. But my glass is still fogging up. Amen. Amen. 218. I'll try and work past the fall because I don't want to run to my office and get my rag. Okay, it says, little children, it is the last time. We talked about last week that this reference means the apostolic age, the final time. It says, little children, we know we are in the times of the Gentiles, the apostolic age. As you have heard, that anti-christ, say antichrist, not S, but it says antichrist, speaking of the person. Amen. That anti-Christ, oh, thank you, sir, shall come. Say shall come. But he says here something interesting. He said, even now there are many anti-christ with an S plural. So he's speaking about there being an antichrist, and I'm noting this because there are teachings floating around that there is no one antichrist. That there's the by they they teach people are saying there's many antichrists, Napoleon was one, Hitler was one, but there's no one figure. Be not mistaken. John the apostle is very specific that there is the main figure, the antichrist, that will come. And there are many antichrists before that time, little ones, whereby, and it's because of that, what that whereby means it's because of that, we know that it is the last time. Now let's scroll down the 22. It says, Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? I met with a man, a Muslim man, this week and his wife. They're supposed to be here this morning. Even this morning, they text me, all right, we're on our way, so we'll see if they ever make it. But he told me, we believe in Jesus, we love Jesus, we honor Jesus. He said, My Imam said that we really respect Jesus, but he is not the Christ. Well, John said 600 years before Mohammed that we know who is a liar is he that denies Jesus is the Christ. So if Muhammad said that, then he is a liar, according to God's word, written 600 years before he was born. Do you follow me? He is antichrist that denieth the father and the son. So he is anti-christ that denies the father and denies the son. Whosoever denies the son, the same hath not the father. But he that acknowledges the son hath the father also. So I want to share with you guys something I posted in our group today, and I'm gonna repeat that because it bears sharing to everybody, and especially those who are watching it. Maybe didn't get my text, but they're just watching online. Maybe they don't even know us. But do you know there is more evidence that Jesus existed than there is that Julius Caesar existed? Does anyone believe Julius Caesar once existed? Without a shadow of a doubt, all the world would say there's no doubt. But there's actually more evidence that Jesus existed than Julius Caesar. And from the scriptures, there's more ancient pages and fragments of the Bible that have survived more than any other book from the ancient world. So the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian text, there's actually more pages and fragments and scriptures about from the Bible that have existed from antiquity than any other book in world history. As for the resurrection, the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 says, doubters should go and talk to the 500 eyewitnesses who saw Jesus post-resurrection. Josephus, the famous Jewish historian, wrote 100 years after the crucifixion, even though he was a Jew and not a follower of Jesus, that he was seen by hundreds of people after he was crucified, that he had rose from the dead. But he said it's a fact that he rose from the dead. He was seen by hundreds of people afterwards. They would try and make up stories that maybe this or that, you know, you know, maybe he was uh embalmed in some kind of medicine that would make him, you know, dead for three days, but then he came back. They would just, you know, try and make up stories throughout history, but no one could argue that man was crucified, taken off the cross, because uh hundreds of people saw it, put in a tomb. The soldiers fell asleep. Actually, they they made that lie that they fell asleep because what happened is the angels slayed them in the spirit, so the angels slayed them in the spirit, they were knocked on conscious of the at the advent of the the resurrection. That's today there is a cloth that's called the shroud of Turin, and this particular cloth is the wrap that was surrounding Jesus, and if you look at that cloth, you actually see uh Jesus' face and figure, like his you know, every his eye sockets, his chin, and you you see the whole face of Jesus in the same exact method that you would Xerox copy, you would photocopy something. When you photocopy something, you take anything, you run it through the machine, and a bright flash of light imprints that image onto the paper. That's what happened to the linen. When Jesus rose from the dead, the glory of God was so exuberant and it flashed so brightly in his dead flesh that it left a photo imprint on the linen cloths, and that is in museums uh today, that shard of Turin. So they would try and come up with different reasons and excuses uh to try and not believe that he is the Son of God, that he is Christ, but they couldn't deny it that he rose from the dead, amen. Now you fast forward to Mohammed in 600, and Muhammad says that Jesus was beaten and crucified, but right before he died, in front of everybody, God blinded everybody's eyes, and God replaced Jesus with a sinner, some random sinner, and that that random sinner is who died, but the one who actually bowed the head and died was not Jesus. God miraculously made him vanish and replace somebody else, and all the Roman soldiers and all the security guards and all the government leaders and all the family members and Mary and everyone that was there, they they they were they couldn't see it because it was a miracle. That's what the Muslims teach. Well, I have to say Muslims have more faith than me because if I'm looking at Josh and you tell me, oh yeah, that was Josh that sat down, but in the middle of the service, and he miraculously turned into Michael Jackson, and that was actually Michael Jackson, the last half of the service. I would think you're completely nuts, right? If not nuts, I at least at least I say you're trying to deceive me. But the Muslims, that's what they believe, it's completely nuts. It's either completely insane or Muhammad was trying to deceive. Do you follow me? So the resurrection was witnessed by over 500 people, written by historians who didn't even follow Jesus. And since most of those 500 people were still likely alive at the time, they could be located to attest to what they saw. So when the soldiers and the government in Rome went around to investigate this, and the soldiers told them that they were something power hit them and they were knocked on conscience, they said, Let's just say you were sleeping. They told them, lie and say you were sleeping, and say that uh while you were sleeping, his disciples came and stole the body. That's the narrative that they had to tell. So when the government went around and the people went around to actually investigate this, they were all alive still. And and over 500 people said, No, I saw him, he's alive, he is alive, he is alive. We didn't just steal the body and hide it, he's alive. We saw him, he ate with us, he talked to us for for for he came to my house and we prayed. And he walked to the wall, and and there were living testimonies. We got living history, you've got people who were there to cross-check whatever message is being put out there, so it's not as though these things could have been invented, and no one would have challenged it. You've got the idea that there are witnesses, go and investigate them, amen. And I think there's a man named Lee Strobel that wrote a great book on this called The Case for Christ. He was a lawyer that didn't believe in God, and he was an investminal investigator and a lawyer, and he set out to disprove to all of the people that were Christians that he would make, and he went to disprove the resurrection of Christ and the deity of Christ, and through his investigative uh training of disproving and finding evidence, he found that Christ was real, amen. And he wrote a great book, he converted, and he became a minister and wrote a great book called The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel, amen. So we're talking about the systematic deconstruction of Christianity in Western society. Number one, the key architects and movements supporting frames. I want to get to this entire thing because you need to know this. Uh, but if I feel like you're spacing out, then you stop me. Then I have to go back and rewind, and I got to repeat it several times and make you repeat it. So just try and keep check with me so I feel confident to hit hit point to point so we can get this all out in an hour. Amen. The systematic deconstruction of Christianity and Western society. Who are the key architects? We know from John that the key architect is not just one person, it's actually the spirit of Antichrist, preparing for the Antichrist. And let me tell you, very shortly, according to the Pali market, which is the market that tells you bidding statistics, which is usually very accurate, there is about a 60% chance this year that the federal government is going to come out with UFOs, aliens, and alien hybrid programming, uh meaning aliens breeding sexually with humans to make hybrids of half half human, half alien. This is a 60% chance to come out. These are things that the Bible has talked about, these are things that I know very deeply about, and I've taught about it uh uh one, you know, uh in depth once. I did a whole series on this in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Amen. And I started it on Christmas, and people got upset. How could you preach on this in Christmas? Well, the reason why is because what I'm going to teach you today, why I'm preaching that on Christmas, and why I'm preaching this on Easter, you're gonna see why I'm preaching this on Easter, okay? Because when these these demonic entities, they are demons, and even JD Vance came out this week. He said, I have the highest level of security, I have seen the UFOs, I've seen the aliens, and I personally believe that they are demons. And they're about to be released. Nine of the people that work in the Department of Alien and UFO investigations, nine of them have disappeared in the last year. Because what is believed is that because they were going to blow the whistle, the government has been concealing and hiding this. Obama last month came out saying that aliens are real and we have it documented. They questioned Trump, and Trump said Obama should not be saying that as classified information. So it's very important that we go over what I'm going over today because, like JD Vance said, these aliens are demons. But what happens is that these demons, these aliens, they bring ex, they they bring a supernatural experience in their presence. When they appear to you, they can make you feel ecstasy all over your body, they can make you feel divine love, they can make you, they could, they could read your thoughts and and and and implant thoughts into your mind. Why? Because they're demons. Demons plant thoughts in your mind all the time, right? So they could, they could demons, first of all, you gotta understand they study us, right? So they know what we'll think, how we'll react anyways. If I start talking about a cheeseburger or a pepperoni pizza from Domino's, right? I know how he's gonna react. He's gonna start, there'll be salivation. I don't even have to see it dripping out of his mouth. There'll be salvation in the few minutes after that, talking about that juicy hot pepperoni. Because I because I know him, right? So demons know you, they know your triggers, right? So when they bring this feeling of euphorion, divinity in God, and they bring this message that Jesus is not the Christ, because they have a message. I'm not gonna get into the message today. They're coming with the message, and they've given this message to to I believe over a thousand different people that they visited over the last since 19, I think it was since 1948. It all started happening in 1948, the uh the abductions and all these things and visitations, but they always come with the same message, and this message, I'll get it, I don't want to get into it today because it'll get off my message, amen. But they come with the message and they come with the ecstasy and the love and the divine life. So the only way that they would be opposed is by people who know the truth. So the spirit of antichrist has been working at getting you not to believe the truth since 1891. We see this. Let's go to our slides. 1891, one of the key architects supporting the deconstruction of a Christianity belief. Antonio Gramse in 1891 to 1937. The most important name that very few people know. Let me see here who knows this name. Just raise your hand if you know his name. Okay, nobody here. Very few people know his name, but he is the father of this movement to remove Christianity from the West. The West is no longer a Christian nation. Sweden, Norway, the churches are empty. Denmark, the churches are empty. Germany, the churches are empty. Netherlands, the churches are empties. Amen. Sweden, they're empty. These were the Christian nations that sent missionaries all across the world 100 years ago. But what happened 100 years ago? The Italian Marxists realized that violent revolution wouldn't work in the Christian West. What you're seeing now in Antifa, it wouldn't work in a Christian country because it was too deeply rooted in Christian values. So his solution was the long march, the hundred-year march, the long march through the institutions, meaning to gradually take over education, media, law, the arts over generations, and the political revolution would follow automatically. If he could get into the education system, the media, and the arts, the revolution would happen automatically. He called this achieving cultural hegemony or hegemony. Next, you have the Frankfurt School, critical theory. Can you say critical theory? This is where we get the critical race theory, which basically is satanic. It's the idea of stoking and creating racism. One I heard one great black leader say they pit the black against the white so they could get the green.

unknown 24:23

Amen.

SPEAKER_03 24:25

Frankfurt School, Critical Theory, founded in Germany, 1920s. Say Germany in the 1920s, relocated to America, actually came to Columbia University, fleeing Nazi Germany. Key figures were Herbert Marcuse, Theodore Adorno, Max Horkheimer. They developed critical theory. This was a framework for critiquing every Western institution. Begin to critique every Western institution. Lord have mercy, including the church, the family, and traditional, say traditional morality. Should marriage be between a man and a woman? Should you this that should is it wrong to this that they began to systematically train the universities to teach people to critique and challenge family structure, the church, and morality. Their goal was to systematically deconstruct Western cultural confidence. Marcuse wrote a book called Eros and Civilization, for Eros for Eroticism, Sexualization. And that was the book that sparred the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, which ruined America. They were running around naked, putting their ding-a-lings in everything they could find. Boys, girls, everything. High up on coke, acid, PCP, free love, free AIDS, you know, and destroyed. I mean, most of the of the you go to you go to um, you know, say Switzerland, the neighborhoods of Switzerland, they're nice and they're safe and they're beautiful. You go to the neighborhoods of Houston, you can get shot every day. Every day the news, someone in Houston is shot. Lady was trying to park, and the guy was trying to park yesterday. This happened in Houston. He was trying to park, the lady was trying to park, and they were fighting for the parking spot. And he said, You better move your car, lady. And she said, No, I was here first. He said, You better move your car. I told you you better move it. She's like, No, I was here first. And he killed her with her two kids in the car, right here in Houston. That's just yesterday. It's been happening, these things have been happening all week long. How did America get there? Woodlands yesterday. Two sheriffs walked into a house in the woodlands, knocked on the door, and said, Man, we heard that there's been some robberies in the area, and we need to come in your house and just make sure that the burglars are not hiding in here. And she said, Oh, I don't know. You know, please, you know, uh, there's nobody here, trust me. And they pushed the door down, hog tied her, got her husband, hog tied him, robbed the place, and shot the husband in the woodlands yesterday. When people try to move out to the safe neighborhoods, safe neighborhoods, you're probably safer to live in the fifth war than you are to live in a nice neighborhood now. Amen. It's not like that in Switzerland. What happened? It all started from the 60s. America was safe before the sexual cultural revolution, before the free love and drug revolution. It was safe. My grandparents didn't lock their doors, everybody knew each other. Everyone went next door and go get to get a cup of sugar. Totally destroyed America. Then we get to the 1900s. John Dewey, say John Dewey, the father of progressive education. Dewey redesigned the American education philosophy in the early 1900s away from its explicitly Christian classic foundations. Lester Summerall always said this must to be gained by the discarded values of the past. Dewey reconstructed American education away from the classic foundations of Christianity. He was a secular humanist who believes schools should form social citizens, not souls formed by God. His influence is why prayer and Bible eventually became targets in schools. It was after John Dewey's motto. Then we get to the Scopes trial in 1925. The first, I don't know if you follow me on the slides, you know, but we're on the scopes trial of 1925. The American Civil's Liberty Union, which was which is an antichrist institution, recruited teacher John Scopes to deliberately violate Tennessee's ban on teaching evolution. It was a staged activist litigation. It was not an organic thing. You're gonna find most of these things that happen, they're not organic. They're completely, they are planned out and they are arranged and they're funded. The lady that Roe versus Wade, she came out a couple years ago. She's a Christian now, and she said they paid me money to come out and to sue and to fight. And she said, and I regret ever taking that money. I'm a Christian now, my eyes are open, and I know that they used me to kill hundreds of millions of babies in America because of me. And I so that's my great regret. She said, I'm saved now. And they I did it for money. They paid me money to do it. The big controversy that happened all across America with the uh the gay baker, and was it Indiana or Michigan, where where the bakery refused to bake a wedding cake with two men on it? I don't know if you guys remember that. It was national world, it was worldwide news. They the LGBT uh activist planned to attack Christians. And they said, let's look for a Christian bakery, and let's pretend that we're uh let's pretend that we're just you know nobody and just innocent people that want to get a gay wedding cake, and let's film it and record it and document it, and then let's make a mockery of it, let's sue them, and let's destroy and bring down Christianity in the in the Supreme Court. This is not a new thing, it's the same chapter out of an old book. Amen. So it was a staged litigation with John Scopes. They recruited Clarence Darro. Clarence Daro was El Capone. Those of you that don't know American history, El Capone was the greatest Italian mafia gangster ever to live, maybe the most powerful mafia gangster globally ever. He had a multi-billion dollar empire, billion, not its equivalent to billion, billion back in the 1920s, which today would probably be equivalent to you know multi-billions, maybe trillions. Because you could buy a Cadillac back then for, you know, you could buy a nice four-model T car for whatever it was 200 bucks at that time. Billionaire El Capone, lawyer, Clarence Darrow, was brought in as they set this up to challenge Tennessee's ban on evolution, teaching evolution to children. El Capone's corrupt lawyer of the underworld, Clarence Darrow, and he led, he was the underworld's lawyer, high-profile criminals. He led the defense, and he used courtroom theatrics designed, watch this, to humiliate Christian beliefs publicly, to humiliate Christian beliefs publicly, the deconstruction of Christianity in the West. Williams Jennings Bryan, they brought in the greatest theologian statesman of the era. Christian theologian brought in to defend the Bible, to defend creation teaching. But he lost. He lost. He lost not just legally but culturally, as the national press used the trial to permanently brand biblical Christianity as backward and unintelligent. Though Scopes was technically convicted, the secular, the antichrist agenda won the popular cultural belief. It was the opening shot to dismantle the Christian authority over public education and set the stage for Madeline O'Hara. What did that great theologian? How did he lose in court? How did he lose in court? He lost in court because he taught the popular Christian belief that the world is 6,000 years old. If I would have been on that stand, I would have had a revival in that courtroom. And I would have had them getting saved and casting out demons out of that Clarence Darrow lawyer, amen. Because the Bible doesn't say the earth is 6,000 years old. The Bible clearly paints a picture that the earth is billions of years old. That Lucifer ruled the world that was then, the Bible says, and destroyed it by a flood. Peter says the flood of Noah was the second flood to destroy the earth. We saw Lucifer and Isaiah and Ezekiel ruled the old world and the angels and the cavemen and the and the dinosaurs. And the rebellious angels came down and slept with women and had hybrids. And we see all these things in the Bible that classic Christianity did not teach. Why did classic Christianity for hundreds of years did not teach in all the alien entities that the prophets taught us on? Of all the vehicles from outer space that the prophets talked us, taught us about, and what their agenda is and who they're from and all these different entities and all of this, all of the history, the billions of years of history of scripture. Why did the Christian pastors and theologians not teach it? Because they felt people were too stupid to understand it and they didn't know how they would react. So instead they just fairy taled it. Amen. Amen. Looked like an idiot. What about the dinosaurs that were here for billions of years? How do you explain that? He gives some asinine reason that's not even scriptural to try and create this concept when the Bible clearly states that they were destroyed in the fall of Lucifer before the creation of Adam. Do you hear me? This set up Madeline O'Hara, who founded the American Atheists Society. She was the clean the key plaintiff in 1963 Supreme Court case and Abington School District versus Shemp, which removed Bible reading from the public schools. She founded the American atheists, and she was a major public figure in the atheist movement. You find that often most atheists are actually Satan worshipers. Not all, but especially back then they were actually worshiping Satan. Nowadays you have a lot of atheists because their agenda has become uh successful, right? But back then they were actually Satanists. As a result of a generation without God, a godless grooming of a generation in public schools that she bred actually came to her demise. And she was slaughtered, massacred, her, her sons, and her granddaughters were systematically butchered to death by another atheist because he grew up believing there are no Ten Commandments. She's the result of her own what she sowed. 1970s and 80s, the academic takeover. They want to oppress my sexuality, oppress my freedom, oppress my desire and whims to do what I wilt, which is the key verse of Satanism by Alistair Crowley and Anton Levet from the Book of Satan, do what thou wilt. Christians want to oppress it. I feel like I'm a man, I feel like I'm a girl, I feel like I want both. Amen. I want to shoot drugs, I want to steal. If I want to do it, how could it be immoral? The academic takeover said Christians are trying to oppress your right to joy. University humanities department systematically adopted a postmodern deconstructionist framework. Moral relativism. Can you say with me moral relativism? That became the default intellectual position taught to students, who then became teachers, who then became journalists, who then became lawyers, who then became politicians, who then became judges, who are leading our country now, buying children to rape and to murder with Mossad, Epstein, and the Israel, and are running our country now. These are now our leaders. More relativism, atheism that will say they're a Christian just to get the vote of the Christian right. You got both left and right saying we're Christians, and then you got them both on documented times denying Christ, denying their faith, denying their belief. Amen. And then in the next video, she says, We need to give people vaccines. We need to push the flu vaccine and we need to put in something to destroy the perennial gland because the perennial gland is what connects people to high faith in God. And if we could dull that gland, we'll get people to stop believing in God. And then we could de-radicalize the oppressors and we could be as gay as we want to be without feeling guilty. But how many know that sin makes you feel guilty even when you don't know better? There's something on the inside of us, and we're a little kid, we just know that we're doing something wrong. And the only way to get over that is to oppress it, suppress it, oppress it, suppress the guilt, suppress the conviction, suppress the guilt, suppress the conviction until you no longer feel bad about it. That's called searing. The Bible says your conscience becomes seared with a hot iron. The other day we got a barbecue pit, we put some coals and we we we barbecue some steaks at the house. Why? Because we want to keep all the juice in. The devil wants to sear your conscience so he could keep all the devil juice in you. Do you follow me? Amen. So these are now our lawyers, our politicians, our journalists, our teachers. They're now even our pastors, gay pastors, married to men. There's pastors, there's pastors that have marijuana farms. There are pastors that have marijuana farms. They're growing and selling marijuana. Matter of fact, one of the pastors you know, his pastor runs a marijuana business. Can you believe that? Pharmacia. Witchcraft. 1990s and pop culture. Entertainment industry increasingly portrayed Christian characters as foolish, as bigots, as dangerous. This is what they're this is this is what they're they're portraying. Even the Olympics. The last Olympics in France. They put up the Last Supper with a transgender with all drag queens, a drag queen last supper to portray Christian characters as foolish, bigoted, dangerous. In the 90s, they came out with the term. That it was that called separation of church and state, which actually does not appear in the constitution. If anybody had 10 cents of education, it does not appear in the Constitution. The Constitution says that the state should not interfere with the church. But they took this phrase and they said separation of church and state. And they weaponized it to mean that Christianity must be invisible for public life. And that we got people now that have taken this demonic spirit and said that the Bible should not influence legislation. Morality should not influence legislation. It's exactly what God intended. God, all of our laws came from the Bible. You have the right to free speech because it came from the Bible. And now, when it comes to homosexuality, you want to now say we can't use the Bible for legislation? Because it's convenient for you to sin. It's a demonic deception. It's a lie and it's a demonic deception. Do you hear me? Even though Jefferson's original letter meant the state couldn't control the church, they said that the church can't control the state. And they coined this phrase, you can't legislate morality. Oh, yes, you can. Murder? You can't arrest somebody for murder? They have so driven this point home that you can't legislate morality, you can't convict immorality that now if you're a pedophile, you get to go free. Now if you stuck into this country legally, you get to go free. Now you murder some little girl and rape her, gang raper, you get to go free. Because we can't use morality to legislate, can't use God's word. And now we just prosecute what is favorably politically. We have laws for them and not for us. Do you follow me? All this roots back to the deconstruction of Christianity in the West. In 2000s, we hit this climax where happy holidays replaces Merry Christmas. People would call me, telemarketers would call me on the phone, and Christmas and Christmas Eve and Easter, and I would say Merry Christmas. They would say, uh yeah, sir, uh, I can't say that. I'm being monitored. What? You go to Starbucks to get a coffee and say Merry Christmas, and they say, Oh, happy holidays. I said, Yeah, but Christmas. They said, Well, I can't say that. I believe too. I'm a Christian, I just can't say that. I said, What? Yeah, we'll get fired. I remember at the Target, they couldn't say Merry Christmas. Some of you guys can't remember that. The nativity scene was challenged in public spaces. You can't put Christ's birth up in front of the courthouse, but they're erect pagan statues to Moloch and Satan in the state Senate Congress. The war on Christmas was an actual documented cultural phenomenon. Easter eggs became Spring Spheres, they called them at schools. The public school system called them spring spheres. They were no longer allowed to say Easter eggs. The cross became legally contested, the the the symbol of a cross legally contested in public memorials by the government. People were protesting the government to take down crosses at public memorials. Let me tell you, this Christian, this country, some of the primary pioneers of this country were believers in Christ. And if you don't like it, get out. If you want to be Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, you are welcome here and keep your religion. God bless you. You're not going to go to heaven, but keep your religion. But don't try and change the religion that this constitution was made on. Do you hear me? And I love my Muslim friends because I have lots of Muslim friends and they're so respectful to me and Christianity and the church, and very respectful. Amen. It's these LGBTQ, pink haired, green haired people that are disrespectful. Amen. Amen. 2024. Last two years ago, Easter became the national transgender day of visibility. Do you know how demonic that is? What is the resurrection of Christ? The resurrection of Christ is the visibility of God's Son Christ as Lord. It is the global, it is the universe day of the visibility of God the Son. That's what it is. And they named it the transgender day of visibility to replace the image of Christ. Let me tell you the if as far as demon possession, do you know that the worst demon possession is the homosexual demon possession? That's the worst one. That takes over people's total personality. They start walking feminine, talking feminine, acting, because that demon takes control of their body. That's why when you're doing exorcisms, those are some of the hardest ones to cast out. My friend Bishop Cheeto was trying to cast a demon out of one, and it the tables and the chairs were flying in the air, flipping over, being thrown across the room. And his associate pastor was cracked his pants, ran out of the ran out and refused to go in there as the demons were whipping chairs all around the room from one little gay boy. And Bishop Cheeto just stood in there and prayed with that kid till he was set free. And now he's married with the family and delivered. Amen. The homosexual demon is a powerful demon. The transgender demon is Satan. Haven't you guys seen Behemoth? The demon behamoth is a demon with breast and a penis. When you see a transgender, you actually see what Satan looks like in the flesh. That is his total self manifesting himself to the world to be seen. Behemoth Satan as the transgender demon. Easter. The day that was God's day of the visibility of his son for in the in the universe. I sing in the universe because every entity in the universe must submit to the name of Jesus. A very famous journalist came out yesterday. He told the story when he was in Washington, DC. These hybrids appeared to him. Him and his wife were getting lunch on a Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon. They got out of the car, and these four men about seven feet tall with pignoses and long black trench coats and fedoras and pale skin got out of this uh suburban uh limo in front of him. And when they turned and they turned around and they saw him, him and his wife were walking down the street in DC to get to the restaurant. He said, The power of them threw him back and he hit the wall and he was hyperventilating in great fear. And his wife said, Honey, are you okay? And he's and he he couldn't talk. He said he was terrorized, every part of his being, and they just looked at him and they turned around and they went into this hotel. They are among us. And when you come across an entity like that, if you don't have 100%, you know with every fiber of your being that you are seated with Christ in heavenly places, and that your Christ is the head of all principality and power, you'll not be able to overcome these things. My cousin Bobby had a situation where he came into fornication with the a woman who was bred by Satan worshippers to be the bride of Satan. And he fell into sin with her. That night, two gargoyles in the flesh came into his room and beat him to death. He almost died. They broke three of his ribs, they threw him across the his apartment has holes in the walls. They beat him and they threw him against the walls. They broke his ribs, and he was praying in the name of Jesus, get off in the name of Jesus, and they beat him to a bloody pulp until he was, he he escaped their grip enough to get up to the stairs and bang on my my my aunt's door. And when she opened the door, they left. And we better know who we are. Amen. We better know who Christ is and the power that we have in him. It just can't be what you think, or you will not have no power over them. This false teaching campaign weaponized, such as fake church history. Say fake church history. This is one of the most strategic, effective tools used to attack Christians from the inside, making devout believers doubt their own foundation. They say that Easter is a pagan myth. This has come from within the church. I could tell you, Christians that have been in this church that believes it's pagan, because they have come across false teaching created, fake history, created to make Christians devout their foundation. If you don't have a strong foundation, you cannot come against these seven-foot hybrid demon alien spirits, I'm telling you, that are coming in, that are coming now all month long. NASA says that that that the the mediators that are showering, hitting this earth have been increased this year 200%. There's a reason why Trump created Space Force and they're sending people around the moon now. There are reasons these things are happening. Do you hear me? They have taught within Christian circles, Christian people, Easter is pagan, to put a kink in our foundation. That's false. The facts are the only source for the goddess named Oester is a vulnerable bead in 19, excuse me, in 725 AD. One single reference. There was zero archaeological inscriptural inscriptions, or there's zero literally literacy evidence of this goddess that it was ever widely worshipped. Many historians consider it possibly BD was describing uh just a folk belief, a local folklore, not a major pagan religion. Eoster the God was not a major pagan religion that the Catholic Church had to just copy to get everyone to convert. That's complete false teaching. Really popularized by the cult Jehovah's Witnesses, actually. Can you say internet mythology? Facebook and Twitter and Instagram has never made the lame to walk or the blind to see, but it has enabled the dumb to speak. You don't get that. It's the truth. It's internet mythology. Do you hear me? It's not fact, it's just internet virality. Ishtar, Easter connection, the words are aren't linguistically related at all. Say not linguistically related. The traditions aren't related. And Ishtar was a Mesopotamian goddess with no meaningful presence at all in Europe. Catholics didn't adopt this to conform to the European religion. They weren't even in that region. The word Easter is only used in English because it comes from the German Ostern. In virtually every other language, the word comes from the Hebrew Peshak. So the German are used in Ostern, which comes from the Hebrew Pashak. In French, it's pakes. In Spanish, it's pasqua. In Italian, it's pasqua. In Russian, it's pashka. Does anybody know what that means in English? Passover. Oster or Easter that we say in English, you know, English words come from Latin, comes from Greek, and comes from Germanic words. Oster is the English word Easter from the Hebrew word Peshak or Passover. Easter means Passover. Facts, not internet facts, linguistic historical facts. This alone, just that point alone, destroys every internet pagan origin argument. The feast of Passover is definitely and historically rooted in the Passover of Jesus Christ and the Passover meal that he shared, his death, burial, and his resurrection. Easter eggs were were symbolized by the sealed tombs that opened. That you take it and you'd break it open because they had the thing that would roll over the stone, it was rolled in front of the grave. And so the Easter eggs were created by the early Assyrian church to show that the stone that was there, they rolled over, and they would color them. They would color them not blue, green, orange, they'd color them red. They were all red because they symbolize the blood of Christ. This comes from the Syrian Christians. The ancient religions of Christianity, Orthodox, Syrian, Coptic, and Catholic. They're all 2,000 years old. They all claim to be the first one. Amen. But this is from the very earliest church, the use of culling the eggs red to symbolize the blood of Christ and the stone that was rolled away. It's not pagan, it's not from a Mesopotamian religion that never existed in Europe. But who spread this? Again, the 19th century, rationalist scholarship, and then viral internet content. Most famously in 2012, there was a video that went viral, falsely connecting Easter to Ishtar phonetically, which was academically embarrassing, but most people are stupid. And it became culturally devastating to the roots and the foundation and the authority of Christians to be to have a place of a voice in the marketplace. Why are these false teachings so dangerous? They accomplish something and they open an attack that Christianity cannot. They make Christians themselves doubt the own authenticity of their faith. As a believer who was told your celebration is just recycled paganism, and they begin to think, oh, if my beliefs are recycled paganism, how do I know this is the right religion? If we're just a copy of this book and a copy of that book, how do I know this is the right religion? It's meant to make you believe that your religion is just a recycled copy of another religion. And when the aliens come, maybe we should follow them. They are our gods, they tear a farm to earth, and we are their offspring. You see how it's all coming together? They feel embarrassed to openly celebrate, quietly step back from your traditions, spread the doubt to others in church, conclude Christianity maybe is just one religion among all. Maybe we're all right. This was Gramaski's cultural hegemongy, hedge, hegemony in action. This was his plan that he detailed and wrote about. You don't need to ban Easter, you just need to make Christians feel foolish about celebrating it. Do you hear me? Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:12 that we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world. Who did that journalist meet? I believe that they were rulers of the darkness of this world, coming to meet with DC leaders. Human intellectuals like Gramsci, Marcuse, and legal activists are instruments only in the larger spiritual conflict. The patterns consistent with scripture. Amen. Attack the foundations, remove the creation teaching. If there's no creation, there's no creator, then there's no moral authority. Then do what you will. And then whatever entities come with great power, lines, signs, wonders that we've been teaching on, we'll believe them. Privatize your faith, make it secret, make it personal, keep it in your bedroom, in your closet. Normalize a ride a rival worldview until Christianity seems strange, bigoted. This is what C. S. Lewis described. And if anybody has not read C. S. Lewis, I encourage you to please get those books right away. He wrote a book called Screw Tape Letters. And he said that the most effective strategy is not dramatic prosecution, persecution of the church, but slow, quiet, comfortable, drifting away quietly from the truth. Amen. Christ is risen, evidenced by over 500 people, evidenced by our changed lives, evidenced by the power of the Holy Ghost, signs, wonders, miracles, the baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire. Because the word itself and virtually every tongue traces back to Passover, that empty tomb. The church has outlasted every empire that's tried to marginalize it, prosecute it, and shut it down. And it will outlast this moment too. And God will come. This is a setup. We have to be educated and know what we're talking about and be confident in what we believe and be able to war against these powers and bring other people to the truth that they don't fall under this deception too. Because what's gonna happen next is they're gonna put the misbehaviors, the rebellious, the bigot, racist, oppressive, ignorant, foolish Christians are not gonna be able to swipe their Visa cards, their Apple taps, and their accounts will be locked, and you'll not be allowed to use your debit cards or credit cards if you don't take the mark of the beast. And if you think that sounds far-fetched, they did that to Kanye West. Two years ago, Kanye West made a comment about the Jewish people and the control over his life, and they shut down every one of his bank accounts. He was a billionaire, he was a billionaire. They shut down every one of his bank accounts, his PayPal, they canceled his Nike contract, or was it Dina's contract, Adidas contract, and his other clothing contracts? They made him broke overnight, and he said that he was at the Walgreens trying to buy some aspirin in a bottle of water, and every single card would not swipe. They did it at the snap of their fingers. They will do it when you don't take the mark of the beast. If you don't fall in line and submit and take the word of the mass, take the vaccine, do what they say, they'll shut you down. Unless you take that mark. This is what's coming on the earth. And if we just think that maybe our religion is a copy of other p other religions, and maybe all religions lead to the same thing, and I well as well just might as well just believe in and this guy is the is God instead. Because maybe the other religions were just fairy tales and folklores. We'll fall for those deceptions. That's why on Christmas I taught on this. On Easter, I taught on this. Because there's been an attack on our core traditions and beliefs. I'll put up a Christmas tree, I'll throw an Easter egg in your face. You tell me that Easter is pagan. Because it's not, it's Christian. And today we have reason to celebrate. Hallelujah. Amen. Let's stand to our feet. I'm gonna ping some eggs and whip them at Roy, hallelujah. Our good friend Roy believes all that internet stuff, you know. But he he's a good guy that loves the Lord, amen. It's just if if you're you know, if you're not if you're not really trained in theology and history, and you just take some online Bible course and watch some people on YouTube, you're gonna fall into that spreading of false teachings, which is gonna lead other people to this belief in their heart deep down that maybe we just copied other religions, maybe we're all the same, maybe, maybe we're just rebrands, rebrands of Egyptian religions and rebrands of Sumerian religions. Maybe no, my friends, Christ rose from the dead. There's more fact, historical fact, testimonies written that he rose from the dead than the existence of Julius Caesar. But the enemy wants us to have subtle doubt, amen. And he wants Christians to go to church every week and never hear preaching like this, just hear you're loved and you're forgiven and you're wonderful and you're great, and and speak encouraging words, have a positive mindset, and just keep you in apt and untrained and uneducated to fight against the power of the age that's being fed to us 24 hours a day on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, magazines, universities by our professors. That's why the Bible says, study to show yourself approved, ready to defend the truth. We can't just be cultural Christians. You become the dumb people that the early that the that the that the church leaders of a couple hundred years ago assumed we were, and said, let's not teach them about these beasts with eyeballs inside of them with four or five different heads, these beasts that fly on machines with bright lights and and that travel to and from the earth. And let's not teach them about the 200 uh deities that are hybrid, uh hybrid breeding with women on earth, and where are they at today? Let's not talk about any of those things because people are stupid. Let's just say that you are loved. Let's just hold signs out in front of the church saying you are loved, you are welcome, you are amen. We have to have a defense of the truth, amen. Because we will slip into this just sublime, subconscious feeling that what if this isn't all true, and then the devil will have power over us, amen. Thank God for those that gave their life for this message, not only from the apostles, but to guys like Jim Elliott that went to Latin America and gave his life on these truths. Amen. I tried to be one, but God kept me alive during COVID. I went to this the COVID hospitals to heal the sick, and I said, if I die, I'll die of I'll be you know, I'll be legendary. Well, I didn't die, amen. Amen. God kept me alive. Let's pray, Heavenly Father. We thank you that we stand here today, not because this is our religion of choice, you know it wasn't my religion of choice. I wasn't raised and to follow God, I was raised to just do what I willed, but we stand here because we came into the truth that Jesus is alive, that He not only alive, but He is God Almighty, manifested in the flesh, the only begotten Son of God, who is the head of all principality and powers and might, and name that is named not only on this earth, the Bible says, the Bible says that his name is above every name, not only on this planet earth, but also in the other planets, also in the other worlds, the Bible says, on Mars, in Jupiter, in the other galaxies, his name is powerful, mighty, far above all the arcas, dominions, and demi gods and other galaxies and universes. Very plainly in scripture, it says this, and we are those that bear his name, we are not weak, we are not feeble, we are not flailing, trying to make it and the being blown around by the wind. But we are the powerful apostles, the ambassadors of the king of the universe, and in Jesus' name we pray that we continue to manifest the powers of the world to come and authority over devils and to cure diseases, and in Jesus' name give us victory over these demonic principalities and powers, these archetypes and structures in this world, and let us be people bearing the truth in the name of Jesus, and let the glory of the resurrection. The scripture bears out that there's no other place in history in the Bible where all four major words for power were used in a single sentence except at the advent of the resurrection of Christ. Exustia, dunamis, aptos, four of the major words, of the only words in Greek that express glorious power in the universe were all used at the same sentence when Christ was rose from the dead, because he not only rose not only brought uh not only from hell, but not only from that tomb, not only from a dead body, a dead flesh body to become to life again, but he rose through the heavens, through the powers, through the principalities, through the aliens, the palades, the demon powers. He rose and made, he made the show of them, the triumphant show of them openly. Colossians tells us. Because Jesus defeated you, Satan. Jesus defeated you, devil. Jesus defeated you over every imp power that tries to attach himself to us and hang us up. Be gone in the name of Jesus. We are risen with Christ in heavenly places. Hallelujah. We walk in dominion over demonic powers, depression, shura sata, people raging, breaking into homes, raging on the uh uh on the parking spots and on the highways, pulling out guns to shoot you if you cut them off or or you don't speed up or made a wrong turn. We take dominion over them in the name of Jesus and we disarm them. We disarm them in the name of Jesus, break their powers, and we declare that they shall be saved, they shall be set free. We shall we shall be intentional to bring the name of Jesus to be de-escalation specialists. The Bible says, peacemakers shall inherit the earth to be de-escalation specialist in the name of Jesus. And Father, we thank you, we praise you this Easter resurrection morning in Jesus' name. Somebody give God a shout of praise. Hallelujah. We had to stop the recording at that point, but you might be listening right now and you say, Pastor Joey, I wanted to pray that prayer. If I was there, I would have prayed with you. I'd like to pray right now, as a matter of fact. I'd like to give my life to Jesus Christ. I would like to have God in my life, and I'd like to know Jesus as my Savior and my Lord, and surrender my life to him. You know, repentance means to turn away from your way of doing things and to turn to God's way. We've done things our own way, like they used to say in Alcoholics Not Amiss and Narcotics Not Amiss. When I did the 12 steps, they said, your best decisions and your best ways of thinking and your best ways to handle life have gotten you to this situation. And now is time to trust a higher power. Well, there is no higher power than the God of all the earth. His name is Jehovah, and he sent his son Jesus to die for you, and through him you can turn from your way of doing things to his way, and his way is the right way because he made you. He made you for a purpose, and he knows exactly what you need to pull out your potential to forgive you of your sins, deliver you from the things that keep you away from God in a sin and death cycle. And if you'd open up your heart to him right now, together with me, God can begin a new work in your life. So just pray with me wherever you're at, whether you're driving your car, whether you're at home, wherever you are, just pray with me and repeat after me. Say, Father, I come to you now. In the name of Jesus. I ask you to forgive me. Forgive me of my sins. Wash me in the blood of Jesus. I believe that your son died for my sins. And on the third day, he was raised from the dead. From this day forward, I belong to you. In Jesus' name, amen. You prayed that prayer, I'd like you to contact me, and we can send you some more resources and materials that can help you start this new life because this is the first day of the rest of your life. Email me at Joe at nationsabroad.com or email the church at nfcontact at gmail.com. And we'd love to speak with you and just correspond with you and put you on the right path, maybe help you find some local churches there online or something, or maybe we know some pastors there that can follow up with you and help teach you the word of God. Thank you for listening, and feel free to download the other podcast and just feed on the word of God.
