well I want to welcome you to a very
special edition of Kingdom connection we
are in a very special place recently the
Lord blessed us with a new campus and we
are in the process of getting that open
and one of the is in the area of
Alpharetta by the way if you’re in that
area we’d love for you to check it out
and this is the first time that we have
ever been on this campus preaching the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and it’s pretty
pretty remarkable pretty moving and
you’re going to get a personal message
normally I’m preaching in front of our
church and you know to our campuses but
I invited some special friends and and
uh folks that are part of our ministry
to come and as I watch the news as
you’ve watched the news my heart has
been so heavy for the nation of Israel
and for the war that is taking place for
the Palestinian people in Harm’s Way the
women the children the Christian
brothers that I know and have over there
and have people that I have done
business with as I’ve gone over there in
the shops and everything else and taken
literally thousands of people to to
visit the nation of Israel I’ve
developed longtime relationships with
people Palestinian people Arab people
who I know today need our prayers we
stand with Israel but we pray for the
light of the gospel and the love of God
to shine to all men and I even pray for
the terrorist that they would see Jesus
real fast and go to heaven amen if
they’re not ready and I do believe that
that he who guards Israel will not
Slumber or
sleep I want to talk to you again today
about why we stand with Israel
and why we believe that you need to
understand a Biblical worldview
concerning the nation of Israel
Deuteronomy 7 and verse 6 remember again
what God says about natural Israel he
says about spiritual Israel his church
every one of these words are love words
toward this is under the old Covenant
but we’re under according to Hebrews a
new and better Covenant by the blood of
Jesus Christ we have we are now part of
that blessing and in Deuteronomy 7 and
verse 6 for you are listen to this he’s
speaking to the nation of Israel and to
the Jewish people for you are a holy
people to the Lord your God the Lord
your God listen to these words has
chosen you to be a part for himself a
special
treasure that’s what God says over you
too he says it over the nation of Israel
and you better hear it you better hear
it Iran you better hear it Hamas you
better hear it Hezbollah you better hear
it haters of
Israel God says that nation and that
people are a special treasure above all
the people of the earth verse 7 he said
the Lord did not set his love on them
nor choose them because they were more
in number than any other people for you
were the least of all the
people now that’s our testimony that’s
my testimony I don’t feel like I have a
right to be preaching to you I don’t
know why God has given me the pull pit
that he has because I am the least and
probably the least qualified the least
in every way except God
chose and he chose you and he chose you
and he chose you and he chose you that’s
why you’re watching this
program God doesn’t love us because
we’re
valuable we’re valuable because God
loves us and if God be for us who can
stand against
us Israel is a special
people and God commands us to not only
love the land of Israel the Holy Land
Jerusalem and Capernaum and the Sea of
Galilee and and and all of the Bethlehem
and all of the
beautiful places of history and biblical
fulfillment but he commands us not and
he talked about in those verses not just
the land of Israel but the people of
Israel the Jewish people God has
sovereignly chosen
Israel as his people
Israel is a nation that is God created
it is God decreed it is God loved it is
God called Israel is God elected and
Israel is God
protected they are a special special
people and as for natural Israel the
same as for you the same is for me
praise the Lord he chose me I didn’t
choose him and when you understand that
you it ought to make you pray maybe
everything’s not going like you wish it
was was going in your life but you’re
still Chosen and everybody God ever
chose in the Bible went through Seasons
of Loneliness and pain and went through
seasons of crisis in their families and
went through in incredible times of of
Challenge and didn’t know what they were
going to do or where they were going to
turn that doesn’t mean you’re not chosen
because you go through tribulation and
you go through hard times matter of fact
fact if I were the devil I’d fight you
more than I fought the average person
because you are
chosen Israel secondly is not just a
special people but they have a very
special purpose listen to this Isaiah 43
and: 7 God has chosen Israel for his
glory they are a special people with a
very special purpose to glorify God to
show the world that he chooses the least
and he takes the
most likely to
fail the odds are stacked against you
the person in the back of the line the
person that other people Overlook the
the person that other people say is
trash God says there’re special treasure
and I will raise them and I will bless
them and I will use them and the secret
the secret sauce to their life will be
Jesus
is the center of my life and he gets all
the
glory god made a covenant with one Jew
named Abram changed his name to
Abraham I want to tell you thirdly that
Israel is not only a special people and
they have a special purpose but they are
under special
protection and I don’t care what MSNBC
says I don’t care what ABC says and I
don’t care what CNN says or anybody on
Fox news says or anybody out there in a
university or some Professor or some
crazy politician who berates and is
anti-Semitic I tell you God protects the
nation of Israel you better hear it
United Nations and you better hear it
Iran and you better hear it Hamas and
you better hear it hos God himself has
an
angel the most powerful Waring angel
named
Michael and he said I assign this is in
Daniel 8 this is in Daniel The Book of
Daniel chapter n he says I assigned that
angel to defend that Nation I don’t want
to fight against an angel because one of
them in the Old Testament slew
185,000 Assyrians in one night when they
came against the nation of
Israel that’s the only way you explain
why Israel is still in existence today
because they have been threatened many
many times but they’re under special
protection God actually says this in
Jeremiah 31 and verse
35 he says and I’m going to just sum it
up but he says in order to destroy the
Jews you would have to destroy the power
that regulates the Sun the moon and the
stars and when you can do that when you
can destroy the universe itself then you
can destroy Israel because God said he
who watches and keeps Israel Psalms 121
will not Slumber and will not sleep and
I tell you that ought to make you
rejoice because I don’t know what you’re
going through but God has not forgotten
about you he’s watching over you over
your family you may be walking through
the valley of the shadow of death but
God says I am with you and no weapon
formed against you Israel natural Israel
and spiritual Israel give me a big amen
that’s you no weapon formed against you
shall prosper every tongue that rises
up sometimes the greatest weapon that
will come against you is people’s
tongues but he said it will not Prosper
he didn’t say it wouldn’t be formed he
didn’t say you wouldn’t be attacked but
he said it will not ultimately Prosper
cuz I’ve got Divine special protection
over my
own you cannot destroy God’s people and
their purpose they are protected
fourthly Israel is a very special place
I’ve been there many many
times so many times I don’t know how
many I was there this
year something’s happening in the world
folks something’s happening in the
church something’s happening among young
people something there’s a stirring
going on this is no time for church as
usual this is no time for Christian TV
as usual I’m I’m telling you you better
be ready Jesus is coming again you
better get right backslider they’re
preachers kids that are watching me
right now and you don’t know why you’re
watching somebody’s sitting there with a
bottle of liquor in your house and
you’re drunk but you’re watching
me by the grace of God it could be me
but by the grace of
God and I’m telling you Now’s the Time
to come back home this thing we we need
to be ready we need to be living at high
alert I believe in life I believe you
ought to plan like you got a
hundred-year vision go to school get
your education get married have babies
live it up have a wonderful time enjoy
life but keep an urgency keep a passion
keep a fire down in you in the parable
of the 10 virgins that Jesus taught
about his
return all of them knew he was the
bridegroom was coming all of them knew
it but they all fell
asleep a lot of people in the body of
Christ have fallen to
sleep many have not returned since
Co thank God that’s not true at our
church but I hear it from my other
friends and in that Parable what is so
astounding is Jesus said Jesus had just
told in Matthew 24 one two will be
working in the field one will be taken
one will be left behind Jesus himself
preached the Rapture I don’t understand
why preachers can just see the news and
see all that is happening and never get
up and go right on with her little
outline as though about how to have a
better this and that when we really need
to turn our hearts to God there are
seasons When God Says Rend your hearts
and not your garments I I want you to I
want you to get brutally honest and
search your heart and and know where you
stand with me that’s what God is saying
saying repent and he’s saying come home
and get right these are not normal
days and in that Parable that Jesus he
did a whole chapter chapter 24 is
nothing but Jesus sermon on end time
prophecy the whole chapter every
word and then immediately in verse one
of chapter 25 he goes into the parable
of the 10 virgins and how they all fell
asleep and 10 of them had oil in their
lamps or or had five of them had oil in
their lamps lamps and five of them did
not and the only reason that I can find
why Jesus told that Parable he said when
the bridegroom came in the Midnight Hour
when they weren’t looking for
him five of them were ready and five of
them were not ready
and the only reason that Jesus told that
Parable was he was saying it is possible
when I return for my bride that there
will be people who would who will think
they are ready but in reality
50% in Jesus own end time sermon he said
50% are not there they know I’m coming
they know who I
am but they are not ready for my soon
return not only is Israel a special
people and a special purpose under
special
protection but it is a special
place God put his people in a special
place I would encourage you if you I
don’t know if we’ll ever get to go back
to the Holy Land ain’t that
something I don’t know I don’t know if
I’ve been over there for the last
time but if you ever get a chance to go
and you get out on the Sea of Galilee
and it hits you this is where he walked
on the
water you go to cai’s house and you
realize he was here the steps date back
to the very time when Jesus would have
been wounded and beaten and slapped and
the beard plucked from his face and the
crown of thorn shoved on his
skull the whipping
post and you stand there and you you go
to those sites you go to the upper room
and you realize I’m in
Jerusalem and I think it’s so
significant that the word Jerusalem is
spelled j r and right in the middle of
it is u a
Lim
LM God help America USA to always stand
with Jerusalem and Israel and it’s a
special place and God said in Genesis 12
and
verse3 I will bless those that bless
Israel and I will curse those that curse
Israel and I pray to God that all of the
church the body of Christ and all of
you will never fail to defend the land
of
Israel if you’re going to become School
teachers if you’re going to become
politicians if you’re going to become
leaders in the world that God puts you
in always stand with Israel and stand
for the people of Israel and pray for
the people of Israel does that mean we
don’t love Palestinian we don’t love
Arabs no no no we love them we pray for
them we send support we’re working on
something even now to help but we know
biblically we are to stand firm with the
nation of Israel why because it’s a
special place think about this in
closing God took out of the whole
earth he found one land and he called it
my holy
land and then out of that Nation he
found one
city and it was nothing but a
mountain the same place where Abraham
raised a knife in willing
obedience and was going to stab his
son
Isaac and he heard a voice say stay your
hand guess where was it was on that
hill and God said in that same place
where he started the Covenant with God
said now I
know I can trust you now I know and you
know during that time biblically I don’t
know if you have ever realized this the
way the way that they worshiped in that
area the heathens is they would offer
their firstborn in
Fire and he went up there put the wood
on his boy’s back the Bible said the lad
carried the
wood he’s climbing up Mount Calvary of
tight the Bible said that as he goes it
took him three days to get to the top to
climb the mountain three days three days
three days in the father’s mind the son
was dead he knew why he was going up
there and when he raised the hand
and was about to stab Isaac a picture of
Jesus Christ on Calvary a voice said
stay your hand but the next time the
Fulfillment of that happened in a city
that that same
Hill would be called Calvary now in the
same
vicinity the father did not
say I’m going to let the cup
pass but this time you’re the Lamb of
God
and by the way he told Abraham the
reason I want you not to kill that son
is I have a ram caught in the
thicket I’ve got the
sacrifice the Bible say I have
prepared himself
myself that’s what it says in the text
if you read in the King James he said I
prepared myself
around that’s that’s in the Old
Testament But Here Comes Jesus God in
skin and he dies on the cross in a place
called Jerusalem on a hill and God says
that’s my Hill that’s my city that’s my
land that’s my
nation now I want to conclude
this there is
coming I believe very
soon a call from
heaven for the church to be raptured and
taken to be with the Lord and while we
are raptured and called away and I know
there’s a lot of people these you know
they debate we’ll be raptured mid Trio
which would be you know three and a half
years after the Great Tribulation in
order for that to happen the Antichrist
has to reveal himself I personally am a
preacher of
preacher I I believe believe and I like
what uh old Bishop Tenny used to say he
said I’m a pan Trio I said what is that
he said it’ll all pan out just like God
wants it
too but you know what I I’ll put it like
this if you don’t have enough to take
you up you don’t have enough to take you
through so you better be ready we better
be prayerful people you go to Israel
natural Israel you go to the Wailing
Wall the eastern wall and they are
praying people you will see those rabbis
praying you will see them bring their
children down you they pray one of my
favorite things is to be in Jerusalem
and I’ll go down sometimes with always
go with someone or go go with people and
we’ll we’ll go down sometimes at 1:00 at
night to the Wailing Wall and it’ll be
filled 24 hours a day it never stops
prayers and just like natural Israel we
are to be a prayerful
people they’re prepared
too even the young teenagers at the age
of 18 all of them go into the military
male female and all of them
go and you will see beautiful uh Israeli
girls and handsome young men who look
just like our teenagers look except
they’re in uniforms and they’re carrying
M16s and ar9s and they they have their
weap all day long they’re
prepared everybody is a soldier in
Israel nobody is on vacation right now

moment in the twinkling of an eye we
