Are we live? I believe we are alive. All right, my friends, I believe we are live here. I am at Utah Valley University. I’m sure everybody knows what occurred here a couple of months back, but tonight we’re here to celebrate. We have great Gloria’s Harvest Crusade. And it’s really a night that’s going to be hope for America. That’s the theme of the night. And I’m going to be switching back and forth. I’m in the arena. I think it holds about seven or 8,000 people, and it’s filling up. It actually starts at 6:00 Mountain Time here, so it’ll start in the next, I guess, 30 minutes or so.

But I just wanted to jump on with all of you early. And I got to tell you, it took us about an hour to get this all set up right. You know, it’s amazing, this technology today, figuring everything out, no matter how well you have it down, there’s always something that, you know, kind of go goes wrong for a little bit. But we’re here now, and so I want to say thank you for all of you that have tuned in tonight. It’s going to be about three hours. I’m not sure how long it’ll be because I want to get in and do a little worship also.

But we’re going to speak tonight about, you know, spiritual warfare that’s going on in this country. And I think many of you will agree with me on some of the things I have to say. I’m going to turn the comments on. I want to hear your comments. I really do. You know, I got to say there’s been a lot of anger, a lot of anger in these past two months, ever since tragic event with Charlie Kirk. And some of it called for, some of it I think is uncalled for. And we visited the spot here now where unfortunately this tragedy did occur.

It is roped off. They are doing something there to. To kind of clean up the site, I would say. Obviously, people don’t want to remember the tragedy that happened that day. There’s a huge American flag right now that’s right over the stage where Charlie was assassinated. And I got to tell you, it’s a great feeling. It’s raining here today, but the lines getting in here were just enormous. The place will be standing room only. And aside from that, there are other areas or other churches here that have opened up their auditoriums. There is a live stream, I believe it’s on harvest.org if you want to see the whole event tonight online, you can do that.

And then obviously, I’ll be giving commentary and talking about it, taking your comments. But really, people, you know, there’s so much divisiveness in this country right now. We want to see something unified tonight. Going to talk about certain things, bring it to your attention. You know what? I would ask that there’s no animosity here tonight. We’re trying to resolve something. We’re trying to get a spirit of hope and encouragement. A lot of things are said online, a lot of things that are, you know, just really, really mean and angry and hurtful. We want to eliminate that tonight.

We really do. And we want to talk about hope. And for me, it’s hope in my hero and my savior, Jesus Christ. That’s what this night is all about. And I know a lot of people say that Jesus is very divisive. Well, in a way, he is. He’s divisive because he said this very clearly. As scripture tells us, you’re either for me or against me. There’s no middle ground with Jesus. You’re either for him or you’re against him. And tonight, I know most people here in this arena are going to be for Jesus. Many people are going to make a profession of faith tonight.

Every time Greg Laurie, for the past 33 years calls for a profession of faith, thousands of people, they come out of their seats and they go down to where Pastor Greg is and they make a profession of faith. And I know we’re going to see that tonight. And you know what? Wherever you are, you don’t have to be here in this arena. You can be in your home, you can be wherever you are watching this. We would hope that you do the same. Because people, let me tell you something. You know, we’re not guaranteed another minute here on Earth.

Not another minute. I think when you certainly get to my age, 74 years old, you understand that. I’ve seen many people, you know, here one minute and gone the next. And where are you going? You know, why would you risk it? If Jesus Christ is really the only way, you know, the only way to get to the Father, why would you risk it? Why would you take a chance? You know, I tell people all the time, Jesus is a win, win situation. You can’t lose because of the man that he was and the savior that he is.

It’s a win, win situation. I want to talk to you about that tonight. My daughters and my little granddaughter just jumped in, come and say hello. This is my daughter Julia, my granddaughter Olivia. You’re looking right at that camera up there, my two girls and my future son in law, Tyler is here. Come on in, Tyler. Say hello. Just look at that camera up there. We bring the whole family and we’re really excited. It’s going to be a great night. Great night of worship. Do you know who Phil Wickham is? You know this. We. We talk about Christians bands, not about Christian bands anymore.

It’s about great bands. And Phil Wickham is terrific. Chris Tomlin is terrific. We’re going to hear them tonight. Honey, do me a favor. Show everybody what the arena looks like. My beautiful wife is here. She’s assisting me. She actually set all of this up. I want to give you a shot of the arena out there, the stage, and what you’re going to be witnessing tonight. People are crowding in. There’s a stage right there where everything will be taking place. It’s really beautiful. Keep going. Let people see. Push a little bit more, babe, so they see the other side.

That’s it. And we’ll be going back and forth tonight as the. The groups come up and Pastor Grave gives his message. We’ll be going over there. I gotta tell you, I love this church. Just tilt it down a little bit. Coming back of me. Can you see me? Tilt down a little bit more. All right, here we are. That’s great. So like I said, if you have any comments, I’m going to go to your comments right now. If you have any questions about the night, let me know. Let me go to it now, see what you all have to say.

One second. If you can see the title of this, I guess you want to call it Live Stream Podcast. It is Spiritual Warfare. And I’m going to be bringing out many of the reasons why I believe we are definitely in a spiritual warfare. Let me see what you have to say about this. If there’s any questions yet or comments, some reason, Max, I’m not seeing it. I don’t know why. One second, people. Stay with me, Stay with me. Trying to get to your comments. Oh, we got a good crowd here tonight so far, people. Thank you.

One second. Stay with me. Trying to get you some reason, Max. I can’t pull it up. I’m trying. Oh, gosh. Jules, you here? All right, people, I think we’re getting it now. Okay, here we go. All right, let me just see if there’s any comments you want me to answer right now. All right, people. Hi, Michael. What will be the discussion tonight? The state of affairs of the country and how it’s lost its way with Jesus. Absolutely. And People, I mean to tell you this. We are in a spiritual warfare. There’s no doubt about it. And I’m going to bring out some of the reasons why I believe it, and I want your comments on it.

There’s no doubt, you know, and the Bible is very clear. We are not battling physicalities, we’re battling spirits. And there is a spiritual warfare going on in this country. The divisiveness that we have in this country now is beyond anything I’ve witnessed in my entire life. And that’s the truth. And there’s reasons for that. There’s such divide on both sides of the aisle. I don’t want to get political. It’s not only a. A political. It’s. It’s a morality issue. A morality issue among all of us. And we’re going to talk about that. I used to live in Orem.

Now I live here in Layton, Utah. You should have joined us tonight. I don’t know how far away that is. Where can we watch the live event? If you go to harvest.org I think it’ll have a connection to the live stream. Harvest.org Michael, I’d love to talk to you from New York City and would love to help in any way possible, especially for addicts. Michaelfrancis.com or michaelfrancismail.com Just shoot me an email and we’ll see if we can pick up a conversation with that. Again, I don’t ask for donations, but, you know, I try to get to your comments first.

The main gunner. Thank you very much. Love the work you do, man. Respect from Ireland. I love the country of Ireland. Been there a couple of times now. The people have always treated me so well, accepted us so well. We went there. Speaking. I love city of Dublin and Belgrade and they’re just beautiful. So thank you for tuning in. Appreciate that very much. Nobody diverse deserves to be killed like Charlie did, but nobody should spread hate and division like he did and hide behind religion like he did. Well, you know what? Again, I don’t want to make this a battle tonight.

We’re not looking to do that. I think you. You see Charlie the wrong way. Charlie was very firm in his beliefs and he’s very definite in how he expressed them. He wasn’t a guy that was out there trying to express hate or evil in any way, shape or form. And if you feel that way, I wish you would look into him a little bit more. Not listen to all the noise that’s going on on YouTube about people on the left that are saying that Charlie was a purveyor of hate. He was not. Charlie was a very, very strong believer in Jesus Christ.

And if you believe in Jesus Christ and you practice his teachings, you can’t be a purveyor of hate. There’s no question about it. Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of all sins. A purveyor of hate he was not. And you’re viewing Charlie the wrong way. And I don’t want to admonish you about it tonight. I want you to see it differently. We are here, here tonight in Utah because the people of Utah, both the Mormons and all the Christians and everybody else asked us to come here. They asked us. It normally takes Pastor Greg and his staff a year to set up these crusades.

One year. He does it every single year. They’re free, by the way. We don’t charge anything. Nobody’s asked to donate. It’s a free event. All we want to do is spread the gospel here tonight, and that’s all we want to do here tonight. I want you to look at Charlie in a different way. We wouldn’t be here as a church trying to spread hope and encouragement and love if we believed Charlie was anything but a purveyor of love for Jesus Christ. That’s what it’s really all about. So I do hope you change your mind tonight. Listen in, have an open mind about it, and let’s see what happens.

You know, again, it’s really sad to see that. And there are people on the left that want to frame Charlie as somebody being a purveyor of hate and evil. Not so because we disagree with you. That doesn’t mean we hate you. It doesn’t mean we’re trying to spread hate. You know, we have an obligation as Christians not to impose our faith on you and not to try to turn you into a Christian. We don’t have that obligation. We have a responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s what he did. And some people get offended by that.

You shouldn’t be offended by it. You should listen. Listen closely and say, is this for me? Is there truth in it? Is there really a heaven and hell? If we don’t follow the teachings and accept Jesus Christ as our savior, is there a possibility that we’re not going to go to heaven? Why would you risk it by just being so negative and against it right away? Why wouldn’t you want to test that? Don’t you want to know where you go when you’re leaving this earth? For those of you that don’t believe in the afterlife. Don’t believe in heaven and earth, hell.

I feel for you and I pray for you, and I’d hope you change your mind about that because the Bible is very clear. And by the way, Christianity is not the only faith that believes in an afterlife. So it’s not Christians alone. What we believe is the only way to get to heaven is through Jesus Christ. We’re firm in that belief and that we don’t. We don’t deviate from that in any way, shape or form. But for those of you that are hard, your minds and your hearts are so hardened, why. Why would you not test it? Why would you risk.

Possibly, if we’re right about it, why would you risk being in a horrible place for all of eternity where there’s no escape, none, no relief and no escape? It’s a terrible thought, people. You know, when I was in solitary confinement and I spent almost three years there, when I was in prison, I developed a very healthy fear of hell because I believe in hell, a healthy fear of hell. I don’t want to go there. And as a result of that, I didn’t immediately accept Christianity. What I did was study it, research it. I actually had my wife send me books on every faith.

I wasn’t just buying into Christianity just on the face of it. I wanted to study it and research it. And I found out there is so much evidence, evidence, hard evidence to prove that the Bible is truly God’s word and that Jesus is our risen savior. That’s why I’m a Christian. No other reason. Nobody pushed it down my throat. I didn’t use it to get out of prison like some people. Silly. It’s such a silly thing to say that they don’t care what you are in prison. You’re not getting out because of Christianity. But some people like to say that it makes them feel good, whatever.

All right? I became a Christian because I believe it with all my heart. And I know I have nothing to lose by believing it. Nothing whatsoever. Because a follower of Jesus has nothing to lose. He was the greatest man that ever walked the face of the earth. And I can prove that in any way. Which way you want. The greatest man. He’s not a myth. He definitely existed. He definitely lived, he definitely died, and he definitely rose again from the dead. And his teachings are rock solid. You can’t lose by being a follower of Jesus on this earth or in the afterlife.

So that’s what it’s all about, people. That’s what we’re here tonight for, to let People understand. And again, not to impose it upon you. Let me get to some other questions. Does anyone remember the Sodom and Gomorrah display from the last administration? How about the Olympics? For over four years, I had liberal crap crammed down my throat. I don’t miss any of it. Well, we’re going to try to talk about that tonight, but in a very civil manner. I don’t disagree with you, by the way. I agree with you. And that was from Rena Z. I agree with you on that.

We had a lot of stuff shoved down our throats, okay, that we were almost told we had to accept. People were canceled if they didn’t accept what was going on for four years. Well, we want to dismiss all of that. We don’t want that anymore. You, because, listen, if you don’t believe in Christianity, that’s on you. God gave you a free will. You can accept it or reject it. God doesn’t impose his will on you. He doesn’t impose his faith on you. Not until the end times on Judgment Day. Judgment will be imposed on you one way or the other.

No doubt about that. But until then, you have a free choice. Accept, reject, do whatever the heck you like. Nobody’s forcing it on you. But we are sharing our beliefs with you. Remember that. Artemesa. The night is far gone. The day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Absolutely, my friend. You know what we need here? We don’t need to hate one another anymore. We really don’t. We need to try to understand one another. And that’s what Charlie Kirk tried to do. He went on college campuses and let me tell you something.

A lot of young men today, as a result of Charlie Kirk’s teachings, as a result of his discussions, of his willingness to come and debate, a lot of men are turning to Christ. Bible’s sales were at an all time high, all time high. And it’s young men that are leading the charge because they’re looking for purpose. And young men, I’m sorry, have been abused, have been belittled, have been demeaned over the past 25, 30 years. It’s happened. Men will agree with it. You know what? I have to say this. It’s one of the reasons why Andrew and Tristan Tate are so popular among young men.

That’s the reason. Because they’ve been demeaned, they’ve been diminished in stature and they don’t want it anymore. And what does the Bible do? The Bible just builds them up. And encourages them to be responsible men. Responsible men. Not masochists. Not, not, you know, he men, but responsible men. And that’s what the Bible teaches us. Michael, so many people are leaving their friends, even family, just because they have different political views. And that’s horrible. We should be able to discuss our differences politically, not hate one another because of it. I’m going to tell you something. I’m going to point out why there’s spiritual warfare.

I’m just waiting for this event to start and more people to come in. We have a lot of people in here right now, but I’m going to point out why we are in a spiritual warfare. And all I ask you, open your minds and your hearts. Open up your minds and your hearts. You know one thing that we should not do. I’m not the government. I’m never going to impose my will on you. I can’t do that. But I am going to share my beliefs. And you could either accept them or reject them. And you in turn, can share your beliefs with me.

And I can either accept or reject them. That’s what it’s all about, whether they moral beliefs, political beliefs, whatever, we should be able to discuss without hating one another. But that’s what’s happening in this country. And it’s being fueled by people who. Who want to fuel it. They want to see hate, they want to see division. They thrive on it. I am telling you, that’s it. People I’ve been around a long time. I grew up in a mob atmosphere. I spent 25, almost 25 years on the street. I spent eight years in prison. I know what divisiveness is about.

I know when people are trying to undermine you. I know when people are trying to split you and separate you and divide you. It’s part of the street life. I know it and I know it well, and I see it here in this country now. They’re trying to divide you. They’re trying to split you. Nobody’s trying to unify you. There’s hatred, hateful rhetoric on both sides. Both sides. I’m saying it. Look, I wrote a book, Mafia Democracy, that didn’t lean left and didn’t lean right. It was all about the political stuff, system and how the rhetoric, the harmful rhetoric is dividing us here.

It starts at the top, it trickles down. We as a society can put an end to it by not going along with it. We can’t fall into it. We can’t buy into it. But that’s what’s happening. This night is a night of Hope and encouragement, people, if you unite in Jesus Christ, there won’t be any of this bitterness and anguish. There won’t be any. And you know, for those of you out there, that, that see faults in the Christian church, of course you’re going to see them. You’re going to see faults in the Catholic Church, you’re going to see fault in every religion, because we are human, we’re not God.

And you don’t judge a perfect God by his imperfect people. But you don’t fall into that trap too, and saying, oh, all religions are bad. Oh, Christianity is bad. No, it’s not. Because it’s built on biblical Christian Jesus principles. And I really hope tonight that we can dismiss it. You know what you need to do? You need to say before this thing starts, you know what? I’m going to open my mind and my heart. I’m not going to look for bad people. When you look for bad in people or when you look for trouble, you’ll always find it.

Always. Because there’s trouble in this bed, in almost everything. You’re always going to find it. You’ll find it in the church, you’ll find it immensely in government, you’ll find it in foundations, you’ll find it in the Roman Catholic Church, you’ll find it in Christian churches, in the Jewish faith, in every faith. You’re going to find it if you’re looking for it. But there’s also good. You should seek good. Beware of evil, beware of it. Notice it, recognize it, but look for the good, because there is good in people. Look, I’ve traveled this entire country, almost every city in this country, many, many times throughout my ministry, throughout my speaking career.

People are wonderful. There are good people all over this country. There are good people all over the planet. I’ve witnessed it. I’ve traveled a lot. There are good people, and yes, there are bad ones. Yes, we have to look for the good in people. Because if we keep fueling the bad and fueling the bad rhetoric and fueling the divisiveness, we’re going to end up in a civil war in this country. Right now. We have a civil spiritual war, and we’re going to end up in a. In a physical civil war if this continues. Let me get to some more questions here.

Okay? Apollo, don’t expect the Christians not to give you the honest truth about fornication. Of course we will. We can’t deviate from what the scripture tells us. We’re going to tell you the truth. Period. Killeth. I’m a Disabled combat veteran. I have respect for Michael and love for Charlie Kirk. Even if I thought he spread hate and divisiveness, I still love him. Because Jesus would have felt the same. That’s true. But my friends, he did not spread hate and divisiveness. Because you don’t agree with somebody, it doesn’t mean he’s being hateful. Listen, I would have to honestly sit here if you said to me, I am of XYZ faith, I am not a Christian.

I would have to tell you that I do not believe that you can find your way to heaven without accepting Jesus Christ. Does that mean I hate you? Of course not. I’m giving you what I believe to be true with all my heart. And if I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t share it with you. Remember this about Jesus. Remember this. There is no gray area with Him. He said it. You’re either for me or against me. The Jesus of the New Testament said straight out, I am the Son of God. I am the way, the truth and the life.

The only way to get to the Father is through me, Jesus Christ. Because the Father gave him that authority. So if Jesus is not the Son of God, then he’s the devil. He’s evil. Because he was misleading the entire world. I cannot see Jesus as being the devil and being evil. I am sorry. Read the New Testament. Read Jesus teachings. His teachings were nothing but good. Nothing but from love, nothing from a good place. His wisdom, his character was impeccable. I cannot see Jesus being the devil. He would never spread that kind of rhetoric. He would never lead you or mislead you to the wrong place.

I believe that with all my heart and I say it with conviction. And if I were here doing the same, then I would be the devil. Because I’d be telling you, you need to follow Jesus in order to get to heaven. And if I disbelieve that or I thought it was untrue, then I’m the devil. I’m not a good person. I’m not out there somebody trying to help you. I’m the devil. And if you believe that, I would turn off right now. I really mean that, Michael. Have any other Mafia guys given their life to Christ like you? Sammy Gravano says he has.

I have no reason disbelieve him. It doesn’t mean that his actions afterwards are going to be perfect. The Bible never states anywhere that we are going to be perfect. The Bible states that we are going to be sinful. We can’t help ourselves, but we develop a Jesus Conscience. We don’t live in a pattern of sin anymore. And when we do sin as Christians, we feel it. We want to repent and we want forgiveness. Forgiveness. You can’t. You cannot. What was it? You cannot pretend on that. It either is real or it isn’t. And remember something, people remember this.

You’re hearing it from a guy that defrauded the government, that defrauded banks at one time, that defrauded insurance companies. When I was on the street, I knew how to pull a scam. I know I can’t pull a scam on God. And neither could any of you. And neither could any pastor, any bishop, any priest, any pope, any president. No one can pull a scam on God. So if I am trying to pull a scam on God, God will judge me that way. He’s going to judge my heart. I’ll stand in front of him and he’ll say, I never knew you.

Who are you kidding? So you shouldn’t be concerned about it. If I am misleading you in any way, I’m going to pay the ultimate price. And you know what? I’ve said this. I’m not going to hell for anybody. So I’m not misleading you for anybody. Not for anybody in the world. Not for money, not for fame, not for celebrity, not for anything. What I tell you about my beliefs in Jesus Christ are the absolute truth. Nothing. But don’t judge me as being perfect, because I’m not. Am I better than I once was? You’re darn right I was.

I can’t help it. Because I have Jesus in my heart. I can’t help it. Okay. I’m a disobey. Here I am. Oh, Michael. So, Sammy Gravano. I have no reason to disbelieve that. People knock him. They can knock him all they want. It’s between him and God. God knows his heart. So don’t worry about it. Karine Therese. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual force of wickedness. Absolutely straight from the Bible. That’s biblical. Our fight here is not physical.

It’s with spiritual. It’s with spirits. The devil is constantly prowess calling. And don’t think this is kind of boogeyman talk, people. It’s not. It’s real. It’s biblical. It’s true. We are in a spiritual warfare in this country. People. Let me tell you something. When there are people out there telling you that it’s okay for minor children, minor children to have gender affirming surgery without the consent of their parents and basically change who they are, who they were born to be. That is a spiritual warfare. That is not from God. There are two genders. You can deny it, you can say whatever you want, but when you are born, when you’re a fetish, you have a gender, it’s one or the other.

You’re either a male or a female. And for somebody to come and try to tell you neither one of those is true. If you were born a female, you are really a male, or if you were born a male, you’re really a female, that’s not true. That’s demonic. That’s separation. That’s trying somebody to separate you from God, to separate you from the truth. We only have two genders, people. That’s it. So when there are people trying to tell you different, that’s spiritual warfare. That’s trying to compromise the truth. And when doctors are willing for money, remember, they don’t do this for free money to mutilate the body of a young person who’s not old enough to drink, who’s not old enough to vote, who’s not old enough to really know what the heck is going on in their life.

I can say this. I have seven children, seven grandchildren. I’m around kids all the time. Minor children do not, do not have the wherewithal and the mentality to make those decisions. And for anybody to promote that and encourage it, it’s demonic. It’s spiritual warfare. It’s just not true. It’s not common sense, it’s not reasonable. You think when medical doctors are performing that they’re not getting paid? It’s a very lucrative deal for them. Teachers, why are you encouraging young people to change their gender when they’re not old enough to vote? They’re not old enough to drive, they’re not old enough to join the military.

Why are you telling them that? I’ll tell you why. Spiritual warfare. Why are you trying to get parents out of making these decisions and having their children talk to them? Why? Why are you teaching five, six and seven year old children about sexual deviance? Why? What are you trying to prove? Why the purity of young people? Why are you trying to fill it with dirt and filth already? Do you understand what I’m saying? And I’m not coming after the people. I am saying it’s demonic. It’s spiritual warfare. That’s what you need to understand, people. We are in spiritual warfare.

When there’s hatred going on so much and listen there, and I’m Trying to understand this. It’s not being political, but there is so much hatred, hatred against Donald Trump. It’s as almost if he came into your household and raped your wife and raped. Raped your children or killed your husband. That’s the kind of hatred that’s put against this man. Why? Why? Don’t like him. Don’t agree with his policies and don’t vote for him. Do it all, but don’t. Don’t pray for him to get killed, and don’t pray for the things, the hatred. And I am speaking out of honesty.

I see it on social media all the time. You hate this man. You compare him to Hitler, a man who persecuted 6 million people, at least. I mean, come on. You want to call Donald Trump a liar? Okay, they all lie. They all lie in politics. But to hate him to the degree you want to destroy him, lock him up, kill him, kill his family. Now they’re going after his wife. All I’m saying is disagree with him. No problem. Don’t vote for him. Campaign against him. But the hatred. I’ve never witnessed anything like this. The hatred, the pure hatred against this man.

It’s demonic. It’s divisive. There’s no reason for. For it. Vote him out of office. Do whatever you want, but the hatred. No. I’m sorry. Let’s continue. Carlos. The spirits of confusions lives in these people’s hearts. Hopefully their eyes will be open. All right, we’re gonna. We’re gonna switch over for a minute because the event is starting. I want you to take a look at the stage and see what’s going on out there. I’ll keep talking. Who’s on the stage now? That’s Pastor Greg Laurie on stage right now. I love Pastor Greg. They’re showing some video of Charlie, I believe that might be on the day that he was tragically assassinated.

Marissa Milano said, I’m America first, not MAGA anymore. I agree with that. I totally agree with you. You can see they’re looking. I don’t know if you can hear what he’s saying, but Charlie. Probably not hear him, but Charlie is on there. He’s just talking. And people. You know, people are trying to put it in your heads that you. Charlie was a purveyor of hate. He was not. Charlie Kirk was not a purveyor of hate. My friends, please don’t let people fill you with that rhetoric. It’s empty, divisive rhetoric. He was not a purveyor of hate.

He believed in the Christian faith. He believed in certain principles and he debated with people. He listened to their side and he tried to convince the them to believe what he believed because he believed it. There’s nothing wrong with that. And what was he saying? He wasn’t saying hate your neighbor. He didn’t say that. People are trying to make you believe that it’s not true. Look at his speeches. And remember, because you disagree with what he has to say doesn’t mean he’s a purveyor of hate. It just means that you disagree with him. That’s it. People are letting you believe that because he said something that you don’t agree with, that it was hateful.

It wasn’t hateful. Charlie wanted everybody to go to heaven. He didn’t want people to go to hell. So don’t let these people fill you with those thoughts. It’s not true because you might think the same thing of me. You may say, hey, you’re trying to debate with us because you’re a Christian and this is what you believe. Yes. Is it hateful? Do I hate you for disbelieving what I believe? Of course not. Please understand the difference. Because you disagree with somebody doesn’t mean that they are being hateful. And that’s a point that I want to get across tonight.

You can disagree. It doesn’t mean that the people that you disagree with are hateful. What? James Byrne, return to your family’s heritage and Catholic faith. Michael, I think you’re a good man. You need the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and the sacrament of confession. You know, you need to understand. I don’t disavow my Catholicism. I don’t. The principle or the foundation of Catholicism is Jesus Christ. We just practice differently as Christians, that’s all. We believe the same. We practice a little bit differently. My belief in Christianity is because I don’t believe there’s anyone between Jesus and me.

Not the saints, not the Pope, not the cardinals, the priests, the bishops, the pastors. There’s nobody separating me from Jesus. There’s nobody in between me and Jesus. I don’t pray to the saints. I’m not disavowing Catholicism. I support Catholicism. So please understand that. I know some people get offended that I’ve. I practice as a Christian, an evangelical Christian. I don’t disavow Catholicism in any way, shape or form. You can stream it. If you want to stream what’s going on tonight, you can go on harvest.org and you can stream it. You don’t have to listen to me, but if you want to Stay with me.

You can. You can do both, Actually, that’s true. If you truly believe in our father, God, you have to realize God puts people in positions and uses them as vessels. Trump was saved for this purpose. Look, people, I don’t want to get into politics tonight. I really don’t. But I do think we were in a bad way for four years. We really were. I mean, look, I have to say this, and I know we’re going to get disagreement, but again, we’re talking about spiritual warfare. Why is it logical to anybody out there and reasonable for transsexual men or transsexual women, I don’t know which.

They are. To participate and compete against women in sports. Why? Why is that okay? Why? Why is it okay? It’s not. These are not women. They are men, period. They were born men. They are men. It is a fact, proven in every way, shape, or form that men are superior to women physically. This is not a debate. This is not a discussion. This is not that. Something that science, discipline proves. It’s a fact. So let transsexual men, if this is what they choose to do, let them compete against other transsexual men. What’s wrong with that? Have a different division.

Let’s create a new division in sports. Transsexual sports. What’s wrong with that? Why should women have to be penalized? And with sin saying it on and on and on. So many women are saying that now. Because it’s a fact. It’s not because they’re making it up. It’s a fact. Spiritual warfare. Yes, it is. Because those people were born of one gender and trying to change to another. Spiritual warfare. Yeah. We have Phil Wickham coming on now. Do any of you know who Phil Wickham is? Wonderful artist, wonderful people. I’m not so focused on transgenders. It was the first time I mentioned it.

I’m not focused on it. I just have to say what I believe to be true. If you can deny that we weren’t born with two genders, male and female, then tell me that. I’m not focused on it. I have no ill feeling towards it. But I will tell you, I don’t want a transgender male competing against my granddaughter in softball or in swimming. I don’t want it because they have an unfair advantage because they’re men. Sorry. Compete against one another. Come to my church. Come and sit down next to me in a restaurant. Let’s have a conversation.

Let’s talk about something other than your gender. No problem. None whatsoever. But don’t impose your will or your change on me or on my women because it’s not fair. We don’t want to be unfair to you. Get your own division. I may even come and watch it. So please don’t mistake what I’m saying. I’m not focused on them in a negative way. I’m stating facts and what I believe to be true. And there’s a lot of support for what I believe to be true. I am Pentecostal and go to a Catholic church. That’s fine. Michael, do you have Franz east wine on hand? No, I don’t.

We don’t bring wine into this. Catholic wasn’t a thing until after Yeshua died. So, no, Jesus was not Catholic or Roman Catholic. I’m hoping you can see me. The music. Music is loud here, and it’s great tonight. Everybody know who Phil Wickham is. He’s wonderful. I have to say this. Okay? We’re gonna go to Rumble, right? Wow. All right, so let’s get into a real discussion about this. Everybody know who Phil Wickham is. If not, you got to go listen to some of his music. It’s amazing. When you were in the mob. Let me ask this one.

When you were in the mob, did you believe in the Lord then, Michael, or did you have to get saved? Well, I grew up as a Catholic, so, yeah, I believed in Jesus then. Was I saved? I don’t think so. Quite honestly, I wasn’t a sincere Catholic. It was. To me, it was like a subject in school. I believed in God, but I wasn’t really into my faith. So, yes, I had to get saved and I was baptized. God doesn’t make mistakes. There’s confidence. Absolutely. God does not make mistakes. I have to bounce. Got to teach in the morning.

I may not agree with Charlie or you on some things, but I wish everyone a nice night and God bless each and every one of you. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Phil Wickham is great. He absolutely is. Chris Tomlin, and we the kingdom. Yes, Chris Tomlin will be here also tonight. Charlie fought every day the spiritual warfare against the devil. He absolutely did. All right, people, I’m gonna go right up to the top, okay? Christians allow and do disavow, meaning we were all messed up. Admit it, Come correct and endure the journey that checks us all.

That’s very true, Ryan. I am Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the ending said the Lord. Yes, religion cannot save. Only. Only Jesus domination. Charlie Kirk gave a platform to kids to express their opinions. He gave them a voice I don’t know how people twist that. Yeah. I want to hear what some of you think. Look at this event. Now, this is a packed stadium, people. And I mean packed. And there are other venues all around town where people are joining because they want hope and they want encouragement. And Jesus. I would leave it there for a while because they can hear me.

Jesus was all about hope and encouragement. This is Phil Wickham. I tell you, you know, people, I go to church because I just love. I love the feeling of worship. You know, I love worshiping our God, who. I know some people have a hard time thinking about this because they say, michael, there is so much evil in the earth, on the world, and there’s so much divisiveness. But you know what? God is so good. He really is. And, you know, I want to make people to understand, you know, God never promised us heaven on earth. He promised us heaven in heaven.

And we just can’t understand, you know, the wonders of heaven and what awaits those who accept Christ as our Savior. We just can’t fathom it. There are wonderful books out there. One by Pastor Jeremiah David. Jeremiah, who wrote about heaven. You need to get it. Yes. The battle belongs to you, God. That’s what Phil Wickham is saying right now. The battle belongs to you. This spiritual battle belongs to God. And if we give it up to him, people, we are going to benefit in ways that we could have never imagined. Let me tell you something. I don’t deserve to be alive and free, but because God had a different plan and a purpose for my life, that’s why I’m here.

That’s why I’m able to talk to you. It hasn’t been easy. I’ve had many struggles. I’ve had many challenges in my life. But to be alive and to be free. I know. I know how precious freedom is. I know how precious life is. I’ve outlived so many people, so many of my. My former associates who are dead now. Many of them died in prison. And here I am. And regardless of. Of what some people on. On social media want to say, I didn’t put anybody in prison. That wasn’t what I was about. I wasn’t looking to hurt my former associates.

Whether I like them or not, I wasn’t looking to hurt them. I wanted out of the life because I wanted to preserve my family’s life, because I saw what happened to my family. My mother, my father, my brothers and sisters. Their lives were destroyed. Destroyed. And I didn’t want that for my family. So I did what I had to do without putting people in trouble. Did I cooperate and sit down with the government? Yes, I did. Did I speak to them? Yes, I did. But not to the extent that I would put anybody in prison. And that’s a proven fact.

People up there like to talk that really don’t know anything. I don’t share everything that went on in my life. Everything. It’s nobody’s business. But I do share the fact that Jesus Christ had a different plan and a purpose for my life. And that’s why I’m here. And that’s why I’m here tonight. That’s why I’m able to talk to all of you. I’m blessed in many ways. Many ways. And the same thing could happen for you. You can have the blessings also, and I only wish that you do. You know what, people? I’m not going to stay on here that long because I want you to join in.

If you can, go to harvest.org and do a live stream of what’s going on here tonight, you need to hear the message from Pastor Greg. Laurie, I’m sorry that I can’t stream it here. I’m letting you watch it here now. I can’t stream it live. That’s my wife, my children up front. We all give praise and honor and glory to our God. You know, with all the. All the troubles and everything that we’ve had, God has been very good to us. And there’s some of you out there saying right now, well, God hasn’t been that good for me, Michael.

I’ve lived a tough life. I’ve not had a lot of money. I’ve had so many challenges in my life. I’ve been sick. I’ve been lost. People that I’ve been. I’ve lost people that were dear to me. Life has been one big struggle for me. Well, you know what? You can turn that around. You can. God does bless us in ways that we can’t even imagine. And some of you are out saying, you know what? I’ve prayed for certain things, and it hasn’t happened. Why hasn’t it happened for me? Well, I will tell you this, and this is something that’s very hard to understand.

But sometimes when God doesn’t answer the prayer that we want him to answer, he is answering our prayers. Lee Castillo. It’s amazing how you knew Fat Tony the Chin got. He bought big names like that, and now here you are giving the word. The way Jesus worked with you is so amazing. You’re a true inspiration, Michael. I’m a true inspiration because I’m obligated to be, because I love the Lord. I love Jesus Christ. He is my hero in life for the man that he was and for the Savior that he is. Leave it there, babe. It’s okay, because they can hear me.

You don’t need to be looking at me right now. You need to be looking at what’s going on on this stage. We have about 8,000 people packed in here right now. God knows how many more online watching this beautiful worship music. Gonna hear a great message from Pastor Greg Laurie tonight. A message of hope and encouragement, because that’s what our pastor is all about. That’s what our church is all about, and that’s what we that follow Jesus are all about. We’re all about encouraging people. We’re all about giving hope to people. That’s what we want to do.

You know, nobody listen. I disagree with a lot of people out there, and I’m going to be honest with you. You know, there were times at night during the Biden administration when I would go home and I would have very bad feelings in my heart for Biden and for some people in administration, because I thought they were misleading people. I really did. I thought that they were leading them away from God. But my prayer was at night, not at hate for Biden. My prayer was, you know, lord, I want him to repent. I want him to see his ways and that what he’s teaching is wrong, what he’s encouraging is wrong.

That’s all I wanted. I didn’t want him to go to hell. I didn’t want him to die. I didn’t want him to get cancer, not at all. You want people to come to their senses and to turn to Jesus Christ? Chris, Duke, Michael, after you gave your life to God, you were like Paul and immediately began to preach the gospel, or did it take you some time to become bold? In my faith, it didn’t take me time because I was recruited right away. As soon as I came out of prison, I was recruited to give my testimony at my church at that time.

So it’s like, I think God had this plan for me immediately, and for some reason, I felt very comfortable. I was never taken back. I was never nervous to speak to a crowd. I wanted to share what God had done in my life. For me, it was a blessing. I wanted to. And if there’s anybody listening tonight that needs to be encouraged, stay through this. You need to know what’s going on here, people. Did you leave the Roman Catholic Church or Become a Christian. You know, I hate to say I left the Roman Catholic Church. I believe in Catholicism.

I worship as an evangelical Christian. And the reason I feel that is because I don’t feel there’s any thing between me and Jesus Christ. I don’t pray to the saints. I don’t. I. I respect the Pope. I really do. I respect pastors and bishops and cardinals and priests. Priests, they’re men and women of God. I respect that. I just worship as an evangelical Christian because I feel a closer relationship with Jesus. And this life is all about a relationship with Jesus Christ. People, when you cut to the chase, when you break it down, it’s all about a relationship with Jesus Christ.

That’s it. Nothing more. So I feel a closer relationship with Jesus worshiping as an evangelical Christian. That’s what it’s all about. John, the scripture says, don’t you know you will judge. You will judge angels. We will be held accountable if you do not correct a brother and bring them in alignment with the word of God. Read your Bible and live it. You know, that’s a very good point. Christ, my king, thank you for making that point. We, we as Christians have a responsibility to share our faith with God, with, With everyone. I’m sorry. We have a responsibility to do that, to share our faith, not to impose it, not to try to turn you into a Christian, but to share our faith.

God will do the rest. Remember, the God that sometimes people point out is he gave us a free will. He didn’t impose our freedom, his word on us, he gave it to us in a very strong way because he wants us all to believe in him, to go to heaven. The bottom line is God wants us all to go to heaven, every single one of us. But he wants us to do it willingly. He doesn’t impose it on us. He shares it with us. The Holy Spirit is radiating from you. Well, you know what? That’s a compliment.

And that’s an encouragement because I believe it. People, listen. I tell you this. God has been awesome to me in my life through all my challenges and all my struggles. Why wouldn’t I want to share that with everyone? I don’t get paid for it. I’ve got nothing to gain physically here on this earth of other than the blessings of God. Doesn’t guarantee that I’m not going to get sick one day. It doesn’t guarantee that I’m not, God forbid, going to be in an accident. It doesn’t guarantee that I’m not going to suffer here on this earth, that I’m not going to lose a loved one.

I’m not guaranteed any of that and I don’t expect that guarantee. What I do want is to one day join my father in heaven. When I say my Father, I see my Father God and I want to bring as many people with me as I possibly can. That’s the reward. When I step in front of Jesus and he says, good job, my good and faithful servant and I see other people that were encouraged and came to heaven through my testimony and through my encouragement, that’s my reward. At the end of the day, that’s my reward. I expect to go through hard times.

I expect to go through struggles. I know there will be hardships because God doesn’t guarantee us that there won’t be. Like I said before, the Bible doesn’t ever say anywhere, anywhere. He doesn’t promise us heaven on earth. He promised us or tells us just the opposite. Beware. We are going to have tough times. We are going to struggle. But are we? Reward is in heaven and people. I’m telling you something. I’m thankful every single day. Good times, bad times, struggles. I lost my, my father in law a couple of weeks ago. I watched my wife suffer through it.

It was painful. He was sick for months. We watch him deteriorate. He died of cancer. All of his body organs started to fail on him. It’s horrible to watch a loved one die. And I watch my wife crying every night. She loved her father. So yes, we’re still going to feel that pain people. We’re not guaranteed heaven on earth. I can, I can say this so many times, but do you understand what the guarantee of heaven for all of eternity means? I mean, I say this all the time. Think of the worst thing that you could ever experience in your life.

The worst thing that ever happened to you or the worst thing that might ever happen to you. And think of it as a million times worse and never ending. Never ending. No relief, no hope in sight. That’s what hell is all about. Do you want that? Of course not. So why would you chance it? Why would you risk it? Why would you not do the research and really search? When you search for the Lord, you will find him. The Bible tells us that when you seek me, you will find me. And when you find him, the rewards are endless eternity forever and ever.

People, I don’t know how more strongly I can say this. It’s what I believe. My beliefs can never change. I’ve said this many times. I’m not the perfect Christian, not in any way, shape or form. But my faith in Jesus Christ is perfect. I believe in him with all my heart and soul. RENA Z. Jesus is the way to the Lord, no doubt about it. Stacy Lewis, I want, yes, we can hear you. This is awesome. Thanks for going live with this. Can everybody hear me? Just give me a thumbs up or tell me yes, you can, because I’m listening to this wonderful worship music.

I’m hoping you’re watching it, people. You know, people are rejoicing. These people tonight are going to be encouraged, I promise you. Many people are going to step out of their seats and go down onto the court just in front of the stage and they are going to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. And what that is going to do is going to begin their relationship with Jesus Christ and it’s going to be nourished. And people, let me tell you something. We need constant nourishment. Like I said, there is a spiritual warfare going on. We have countless, countless, you know, determinants in front of us to separate us from God.

That’s the devil’s ploy. That’s his plan. Separate us from God. And he has so many ways to do that. Through our phones, through all the social media that we hear, the negativity, through our government at times through, through all the horrible things that we can see online on the Internet used to separate us. Through drugs, through gambling, through pornography, you know, through alcohol at times. You know, there’s so many things that can separate us from God. So we need to be nourished. We need to engage in nights like this so that we can worship our God.

We need to surround ourselves with people that love the Lord. It’s so important, people. Don’t let anybody deter you from that. Don’t let anybody say, oh, you don’t need to go to church or you don’t need to. Yes, and if you’re unhappy with the church that you’re in, if you feel that they’re really not only teaching but acting the word of God, then find a better church. Churches aren’t all perfect people, I can tell you that for sure they’re not all perfect. And there’s some people that mislead in church because once again, they’re not perfect. But I’ve said this a million times.

I’ll say it again. Don’t judge an imperfect. Don’t judge a perfect God by his imperfect people. I’ve said that so often. Flee 32007 Paul considered everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of, of knowing Jesus Christ. That’s true. For those of you that don’t know the story of the apostle Paul, the disciple Paul, you need to read it. Paul was a murderer of Christians. A murderer. He was so anti Christian and he had the Damascus road experience. When Jesus spoke to him while he was on the road to Damascus and made him the lead disciple to the jail Gentiles to spread the word of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, he was a murderer.

He was a bad guy. Nobody was worse than Paul. But remember this. No matter how bad we are in our life, when God has design on you and you turn towards him, he will forgive you and he will use you. Because what the enemy meant for bad in your life, God will turn around and use for his glory if you allow him to remember that. Thank you for all the thoughts. Thumbs up for those of you want to make sure you can hear me. Appreciate that you can hear me and the music both. That’s even better.

This music from Phil Wickham. If you don’t know who Phil Wickham is, I go on YouTube and look for him and listen to his music. Absolutely wonderful dynamic. You don’t have to be a Christian to love his music. He’s. He’s just beautiful. Great. Thank you. Thanks, Michael. I needed to hear this, people. You’re listening to a sinner. That was one of the. I was probably worse than everybody listening to me at this time. Everybody. And yet when I found the love of Jesus Christ in my life, there was a change, a transformation. I don’t credit myself with this.

I credit Jesus Christ for the transformation. I credit my beautiful, loving wife. Okay, for standing by my side and doing so because she had her foundation. Our marriage was. Our marriage foundation was in Jesus Christ. And let me tell you something. I haven’t been the perfect husband. I haven’t been. But she’s been the perfect wife. And I thank God for that. And I thank my mother in law who prayed for me day in and day out that I would come to the Lord and that God would use me in the way that he is. I don’t take any credit for this.

I don’t deserve any credit. And I mean that. I am blessed beyond anything that I can tell you. I am so blessed people to be alive and free. Remember that. I have. My brother in law comes in, he said, oh, listen to this. It’s true. When we talk about spiritual warfare, listen. 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. This verse is conditional promise from God.

It was given to Solomon after the dedication of the temple, outlining the steps people should take and the response that that God will give. And here’s the condition, people. The people must humble themselves. People, let me tell you something. I have found humility to be the most attractive character trait in people of power. Humility, because your life can end on a dime. I’ve seen people that had the power of life and death and I’ll name them. Joe Colombo, John Gotti, Fat Tony Salerno, the Chin, Carmine Persigo. The power of life and death at their fingertips one minute, the next minute, where were they? Locked in a jail cell, living in somebody else’s underwear, being told what to do by a 23 year old guard and then dying in prison.

Our power is nothing. It’s given to us by God. Humility is the attractive trait in people. People must humble themselves, pray and seek God’s face and turn from their wicked ways. And this is what God’s response to that will be. If this condition is met, God promises to hear their prayers from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. And that’s what we ask for in these United States of America. And you know what, people, I’m going to say this. I don’t believe Trump is a savior. I don’t believe he’s a deliverer. I don’t believe that.

I believe he is a vessel that God is using to help us come to our senses and not in every one of his policies. I’m not saying his tariff policy is great, I’m not talking about that. But what I am talking about is this policy, which is God’s policy. There are only two genders, male and female. That’s it. Abortion, okay, it is sinful. I am sorry, not in every situation. I am not the one to judge of that. If my wife’s life was in jeopardy and we had an unborn child in her body, I would probably look to abort the baby and save my wife.

Okay, I understand that. Let God decide when we stand in front of him. If my daughter or my wife were raped and they didn’t want that child, I would probably agree with abortion. Maybe that’s wrong, I don’t know. I’m being honest with you. I would have to stand in front of God and he will judge me on that. So we’re not saying that and we understand that. But when somebody has sex out of wedlock or even wedlock and becomes pregnant and then uses the excuse that it’s a woman’s choice, but because it’s her body and it’s a woman’s health choice.

No, it’s not. It was a woman that was irresponsible and decided she didn’t want to have the baby. That’s not biblical. That’s not right. That’s not moral. That is sinful. So what Donald Trump said is, hey, let the states decide. It’s not a federal ban. It’s not a federal case. Let the states decide. If the majority of people in that state say we want abortions, well, then, fine, let them do it. And they will face God at one point in time and he will judge them. So I believe that, yes, that was God’s wishes and he will judge people individually based upon that.

And I’m sorry, but God doesn’t honor transsexual activity. He doesn’t. He gave us two genders, male and female. So if Donald Trump made that executive order, well, then that’s biblical. That’s what God stated. So, no, Donald Trump is not the savior. He’s not the Messiah. He’s not the deliverer. But sometimes God can work through people. Doesn’t mean Donald Trump is perfect. Doesn’t mean Donald Trump doesn’t make mistakes. Doesn’t mean that Donald Trump sometimes goes off on the wrong tent. Doesn’t mean any of that. But just those facts alone, that he said there are two genders, that he wants abortions decided by the states.

Just those two facts, which are so critical, it’s meaningful, people. The fact that he doesn’t want trans homosexual men competing against women, that’s biblical. That’s God’s desire. There’s no compromise there. Please understand that. And I’m not at all, I’m not trying to be political on this, but you have to understand, the truth is the truth. We can’t. We can’t bend it to serve our needs or our desire are all wants. I was a Trump supporter, but after all that stuff with Epstein came upon, it’s really hard to stay on that same opinion. What are your opinions on that? Let me make this very clear.

I want all of the Epstein tapes, information, documents, videos. I want everything to come forward and let the chips fall where they are. May. And I mean that with all my heart. I want it all to be exposed. But when it comes to Donald Trump, since you brought up Donald Trump, let me say this. Why didn’t Biden. Why did not. Why didn’t people ask the same of Biden he had that information for four years. Because people on the left are trying to blame Trump and Trump alone. They don’t care about anybody else. Because those people that want to bury Trump, the people that wanted to impeach Trump, the people that wanted to imprison Trump, the people that indicted Trump, the people that hopefully wanted him dead, they’re the only ones now that are calling for this, or I should say they’re calling it only because they want to bury Trump, not because they care.

I want these tapes revealed because I want everyone held accountable. Everyone. Peter Feely is disgusting. It’s sickening. And everyone involved in it should be held accountable. I don’t care who it is, and I hope I’m being very clear. I don’t care who it is. I pay no favoritism on this. It’s good. Pastor Greg Loris I on there. People don’t need to see me. I’m hoping you don’t need to see me. You can hear me. That’s enough. I want you to see what’s going on here tonight. That’s more important. Only question, though, here’s a why shouldn’t the Mafia be framed? But it’s okay.

Your dad should, because he was in the Mafia. I’m going to tell you why. The laws are not made for individual people, for individual groups. You cannot allow the government to bring break the law in order to get the law breakers. That’s why they create laws. Because if you allow the government to break the law to go against the Mafia, they will break the law to go against anybody they don’t like. You have to hold government to, to the, to the laws. They must obey the laws. Remember this. They create the laws. They have all the money, they have all the power.

They have all the weapons. They have to go after people the right way. Because you give the government an inch, they’ll take it a yard. You give them a yard, they’ll take it a mile. They must obey the law. They have enough weapons to get people the right way. And let me tell you something, eventually they will. Everybody in organized crime goes down. My father went down. He would have gone down whether they framed him or not. They violated his parole five times. They convicted him on another case. You cannot allow the lawmakers to become the law breakers.

You cannot allow the law enforcers to become the law breakers. There’s no excuse, and I know that’s a hard concept for people to understand, but the law was made for everybody, not for one person. It’s why I don’t believe in the death penalty, even though I think some people probably deserve to die because of the heinous crimes they committed. But I don’t believe in the death penalty because people are framed. There were 202 people that were released from death row because they were innocent and DNA proved it. Many of them were put there because of government deceitfulness.

So you can’t have that. You can’t be executing innocent people. If you execute one innocent person, then the whole law falls apart. And life in prison without parole is not a walk in the park, especially if you spend it in solitary. So don’t think that that’s getting away with anything. It’s not. So, Del, I hope I answered your question. You don’t frame anybody. You get them the right way, no matter who it is. You have enough laws, you have enough weapons, you have enough money, you have enough people investigating it. There’s no reason why you can’t catch people the right way.

You’ll get them eventually. Okay, somebody said, keep talking about that radical woke progressive wing. You know, I don’t want to label it radical woke progressive. I want to label it people that are being unrealistic, people that are being unreasonable, people that are not using common sense people. When I talk about two genders, isn’t it just common sense really? You come into this world the moment you. I mean, you’re identified in the womb as either being a male or a female. You’re not identified as being anything other than that. So isn’t that just common sense that there are two genders? That’s what God intended.

It’s common sense. That’s what we’re looking at. And common sense happens to be biblical. I’m sorry. It happens to be what God wanted. So I’m sorry for people to be offended by that. They shouldn’t be. All right, so I don’t want to label it one thing or another. Although they labeled themselves as woke and progressive. Look, honesty has to play a role in this. I am so fed up and disgusted with social media because I see so many people that are just not telling the truth. There’s so much dishonesty, there’s so much hatred. I mean, social media has become just a terrible place in many, in many ways.

Excuse me one minute. Taking a drink. You know, you have to be able to weed through all the garbage that you see on social media to get to the truth because people lie all the time and that’s what causes this divisiveness. Da. Let’s first clean up our individual backyard before we open up the Epstein files. Well, you know, Da, I understand what you’re saying. We should look in the mirror first before we throw stones. We should make sure we don’t live in a glass house. However, we need to see what went on with Epstein. It was horrible and it was done at the highest levels.

It really was horrible. And I want to know what went on there. I really do. And let me tell you something, if it were Trump, I would be extremely disappointed. I wouldn’t cover for him. There was no way, do I believe that he was involved at this point. No, I’ve seen no evidence of, of that. And I’ve seen how the, how people on that left are trying to frame him for it. They’re taking bits and pieces out of context and trying to label like they did with that Virginia Guthrey who said straight out, you know, Trump was nothing but a gentleman to her.

She said it straight out before she died. And then they’re taking little clips of what she said, not taking it out of context and not saying what she said in totality. And it’s wrong, it’s deceitful, it’s wrong, it’s demonic. It absolutely is demonic. And that’s the thing that I’m talking about here. Quite honestly. All politicians are the same. Blank them all. I’m non political. Well, you know what? I don’t disagree. It’s hard to disagree with you that they don’t fall into that same trap of lying and embellishing. And it’s hard to say that, that you’re wrong about that.

I mean it. Okay, King. Juvenile. When you grow up, let. Let us know. I don’t know what that’s about. Christ isn’t. Oh, I see what you’re saying, King. Christ is an oil within. Within. Lol. It’s a metaphor. Your clowns, King. You know what? There’s no reason to be disrespectful to anybody’s faith because you don’t believe in something. I would admonish you on that. And you know what? You’re putting yourself at risk, my friend. And that’s fine if you choose to do that. You have a free will. But you’re putting yourself at risk by saying things like that and by disbelieving without searching.

And you haven’t searched. There’s no question about that. I know that just by the statement that you’re making. So my advice to you, not my demand, my advice and encouragement to you is look into Jesus before you knock him in any way. I really mean that before you knock others for believing in him. Because there’s billions of us. Billions. And if you think you’re right and billions of us are wrong based upon what we know, what we believe, what we experienced, what we researched, then who’s the fool here? That’s all I can tell you. We have to be children of God.

Read the number one book in the world, basic instructions before leaving earth. The Bible. Yes. Appealing to our sacred heart of Jesus. Absolute manipulation by those cruel Zionists. Well, I understand what you’re saying. If someone gave me 400 million dollar US jet, I would be given the electric chair plus 5 billion years in prison. Not if you were president. You, Gordon Ilgado. If somebody gave you a $400 million jet and you were the president, you wouldn’t be put in jail for that. Why should you be? If there’s anything wrong attached to that that you can point to, well, then maybe you’re right.

But I don’t know what that is at this point. So point to what? What is wrong or evil or bad or sinful in that and then we can have a deb. Six billion, not five billion, six billion Christians. Okay, I’m not going to disagree with that number. I’m not sure there are no politicians that act like that. Trump, he talks down to everyone like a three year old child. You know what? I’ll agree with you on that. I think Trump can do better with his rhetoric and some of his dialogue. I do believe that. There’s no question.

I think sometimes he says things as president that shouldn’t be said. He’s not alone in that, of course, but he is guilty of that at times. And I think he might even admit that. People around him might admit that. But like we said, nobody’s perfect. But I wish that there were times when he would clean up his rhetoric at times and say things differently. I think people would view him differently. But he is who he is. He’s 78 years old and it’s kind of hard to change that. But what I would say is look at the overall good.

Don’t point to things in particular. Look at the overall good. Because like I said, if you continue to look for bad in somebody rather than good in what they’re doing, then you’re going to find the bad and that’s what you’re going to focus on. So my advice is try to look at the overall good he’s doing for the country, because that’s what matters. It’s not how he. What is the overall good he’s doing for the country and for the world. And if we see more good in that, well, then maybe that’s something we should look to.

Okay. John lynch the mob never hurt anyone unless you stepped on their toes. John. That’s true. And then there’s not truth to that. There were some people in that life that didn’t do the right thing all the time. And, and I think we have to be honest about that. So, look, there’s good and bad news in every organization. And there were times when people did things in that life that they shouldn’t have done to others. And I’ll be the first one to admit that. Barbara. The Lord redeems imperfect people and uses them to carry his message.

Just look at the men and women he raised up in the Bible to do his work. That’s absolutely correct. God never looked for perfection in people. He took people that were sinful. He took people that were flawed. He took somebody like me and he chose to use them to deliver his messages. And hey, nothing wrong with that, people. You know what? God did not discriminate when it came to anyone that he was going to use to deliver his message. Lee Castillo. Michael, you should do a video on the Maceo family of Galveston during prohibition. That would be so important.

Amazing. Maybe one day we’ll do that. Karine Michael, do you think the rape and murder of children deserves the death penalty? Life in prison doesn’t mean life and prison. You know what? I do. I do believe that people that are that disgusting don’t deserve the gift of life. However, my personal beliefs are not what matters. What matters is what’s true and honest for everybody. And the problem is that if, if the death penalty, like I said, if the death penalty is the law of the land, then the government will put innocent people to death. They have done that.

Do you realize that 200 people on Death Road were freed for being innocent? DNA evidence proved them. That means they would have executed 200 innocent people. So you can’t. Death is the ultimate, ultimate punishment. So you can’t, you can’t make mistakes. Unfortunately, we don’t have prosecutors in law enforcement, people that are always honest. They do conceal evidence at times that would be in favor of the defendant. They do. And you can’t allow that to happen, not even one time. So, yes, even though those people deserve to be dead, possibly for doing such a despicable act as murdering and raping children, you can’t look at one person individually.

But you know what? If they don’t repent, the ultimate is going to be life in Hell. So really, it’s up to them individually. So put them in solitary confinement. I spent 29 months there. It’s not a cakewalk. There were times that. I’ll tell you, if I didn’t have a wife and children, I would want them to put me to sleep every day living like that. It was horrible. You don’t want to live like that. So please understand where I’m coming from. Life in prison does mean life in prison. If life in prison without parole, yes, it does.

And you can make something new. Life in prison, in solitary confinement. You can do that. That I agree with. People like that don’t deserve any privileges in life. So I hope I answered your Korean. I hope you understand what I’m saying. I’m not in any way saying that you’re wrong in feeling that these people deserve to die. Damien Anukai. And look how insufferable your side is and the way you’re acting. Please stop with the projection. What? No. You could turn us off. That’s not insufferable. I’m sorry, Damien. If you don’t like it, you can turn us off.

Common sense. Amen. Appealing to our sacred heart of Jesus. All right. Oh, Damien. I love you, too. Young people need critical thinking classes. He made the male and female. Yes. Can’t you. Can you just let people be who they are without judgment? Yes, you can. But that doesn’t mean that those people can impose what they believe on you. I just said it. You can be whoever you choose to be, but not to impose your will on us because we don’t believe that. That’s why. I’m not imposing my Christian belief on you. I didn’t intrude on your household tonight and say, you must watch me.

I am asking you to listen to what I have to share. And it’s up to you to take it or reject it. So I don’t judge you. God judges you. God judges your sin. God judges it. I don’t. We’re just messengers. We’re telling you, okay, this is what is biblical. This is what God states in his. In his Bible. So if you’re going against that. I’m not judging you. God is. Because you know what? Let me tell you why I won’t judge you. I’ll tell you why. When Jesus died on the cross, for those of you that don’t know, there were two thieves that were hanging with him on crosses and one turned to him.

This was a murderer. Probably. You didn’t get crucified because you were a thief. He probably was a murderer. So here’s this thief on the cross. They called him the thief on the cross who looked at Jesus and saw something inside of his heart and looked at Jesus and said, lord, remember me today in your kingdom. Forgive me my sins, basically. And Jesus turned to him at that last moment of his life and said, today you will be with me in paradise. Jesus forgave him at that very moment. So who am I to judge anybody throughout their life? I don’t know what their dying words are going to be.

I don’t know how God is going to judge their hearts at the last minute. They can live a sinful life and and then be saved in the end. And don’t think that is being unfair because God judges our hearts. Our hearts. It’s like I’ve said in the past, why do good people do bad things? It doesn’t make them bad people all the time. It really doesn’t. Doesn’t make them bad people. It means they have bad behavior for a particular reason. But they may have a good heart that God thinks or knows, I should say, is willing to save.

He judges our hearts. And at the last moment of our life, that person may come to their senses. And if it’s honest and sincere, then yes, Jesus gave an example. He will save that person. So I’m not judging you, I’m sharing with you, King. Same blank, different interpretations. Well, you honestly are ignorant of the word of God. God, because you wouldn’t say that. It’s not the same. There’s only one Bible. There’s only one God, there’s only one Jesus. So when you talk like that, and I don’t mean this to demean you, you talk out of ignorance because you haven’t studied, you haven’t researched and you don’t know the Word and you haven’t studied other faiths and compared them to Christianity and compared them to Jesus.

I can say that just by your comment. I know that you haven’t. Okay, taking a sip of wine. How Christian have you? Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with wine. Nothing whatsoever. Drunkenness is a sin. Drinking wine is not a sin. Drunkenness is a sin. Drinking whiskey is not a sin. Drinking beer is not a sin. Drunkenness could be a sin. It’s biblical. Jesus first miracle on this earth was to turn water into wine at a wedding. That wine was being served at Jesus at the Last supper, changed, transformed wine into his blood. He served it to his disciples at the last Supper.

So drinking wine is not evil. You don’t know your Bible. And when you make those judgments is because you’re looking for something okay to attack. But you’re not biblical. You haven’t done your research, and you’re talking out of whatever, whether it be hate or whatever. Your problem is bitterness, anger. But you’re not talking out of knowledge of this, of the word of God. So I’m sorry for you, my friend. People being rude behind the Internet. It’s okay, you know, look, when you put yourself out there online, you expect certain things. I don’t be. I’m not offended at all.

So I don’t worry about that. He approves of the death penalty. Who does? I just said I didn’t. So I’m not sure who you’re talking to. 30 pieces of silver. Don’t forget that. Appealing to our sacred heart of Jesus. Absolute manipulation by those cruel Zionists. Michael, social media, even though everyone says their opinion has ruined how we should communicate with each other. Shame that the hateful and negative voices are the loudest. You’re right. Cam Doubleday, thank you very much. I tend to agree with you on that. Social media has become a very, very rough place, a rough community.

I have to say that honestly. And, you know, some. Somebody has asked me, and I’ve capitalized on social media. You know, I have a big YouTube platform. There’s no question my brand has capitalized on it. But if somebody said to me, michael, would you prefer that there would be no social media media, even though you’ve capitalized it, Capitalized on it, would you prefer that? My answer is yes, because I think in many ways it’s more harmful, it causes more damage. So, yes, I would agree with that. Some people. Robert Nunez, some people being disrespectful to Michael on here, you should know.

Watch your mouth. Oh, that’s okay. I welcome that. The. So same way Charlie Kirk welcomed disrespect and had an answer for it. That’s why we’re here doing this and offering hope and encouragement tonight. So it’s okay. I don’t have a problem with that. Young people need to learn critical thinking. I feel bad for them. I don’t understand why they are so full of hate. It makes no sense. And I agree with that. Again, a lot of it is fueled by the rhetoric they hear. A lot of it is fueled by what they hear here on social media.

And, you know, praise God, So many people, so many young men are turning to the Bible right now. I think we’re seeing a revival of Christian faith here. I really do. We’re seeing somewhat of a Jesus Revolution. We really are. And I’m very pleased with that because it can only bring good into the world. And, yeah, I mean, you could be disrespectful on here. It’s okay. I have thick skin. I can handle it. And, you know, it’s very easy to be disrespectful online. We know that for those of you that choose to act that way, look in the mirror, look at yourself and say, is this.

Is this a courageous act on my part or is just me being me? And maybe I should clean that up a little bit, but it’s up to you. Okay? Nobody is forcing this on anybody to watch. Thank you, Cam. I appreciate that. Michael, have you read books by David Grossman or Raymond Abraham? No, I haven’t. I know who they are, but I haven’t read any. Probably I should. I want to see Obama and Hillary go to jail, but they won’t. You know what? I would like to see them be held accountable to their actions. It doesn’t necessarily mean jail time, but people should know what they did.

And I’m going to leave it at that because I don’t want to get political. Accountability is important, important in life, people, because what it does, it dissuades people from acting in the same manner. You know, if we had accountability among our leaders, then maybe leaders that follow them wouldn’t act the same way, and that would benefit the people. So there’s nothing wrong with holding people accountable. Okay. For their actions. Weston Russell, sending you and your family love and prayers. Praying for your wife and family at a time of grieving. Blessed are you, Lord our God rest.

Wrap them in your grace, mercy, love and peace. Jesus name. Amen. Wesson. Thank you very much for that. Most appreciated. And I really mean that, Damien. You have more patience for him than I do. Michael. Damien, thank you. Thanks for your support. Yeah. Patience. I have. I have to be honest, one time in my life, I didn’t have too much, but, you know, it’s. It’s a gift that comes with age, I guess. And it’s a gift that also comes with a relationship with Jesus. He taught us patience. So I can. I can snap, don’t get me wrong, but I have a little bit more tolerance than I once did.

What does it mean to search? How do you search service? Thank you for asking that question. You know, aside from reading your Bible, and I would love for you, if you want to contact me, I can give you research tools where you can research and try to put the Bible to the test. That’s what I did. I put it to the test. And there are tools out there that you can use to collaborate, corroborate the truths that is scripture. And I can send you to all those resources and you can look at it objectively and you could either accept it or reject it.

And I would love for you to do that. And I’m going to do something that I don’t normally do. Michael Franz. I’m sorry, MJ Franzese, the number 527gmail.com send me an email and let me send you those resources. Because if one person listening to this comes to the Lord tonight, then you’ve made a night for me. All right? Mjfrancise527gmail.com Email me. And that goes for anybody. You want a resource. Because, people, I want you to be saved. I really mean that. I want you to come to Jesus because I believe with all my heart he is the only way to paradise, the only way to heaven.

And you will get the benefits of giving your life to Jesus here on earth, but you get the everlasting benefits one day in heaven. I want you seriously, you can make my night by at least doing the work, doing the research, saying, michael, you know what? You’ve convinced me to at least look it up. Because. Because I want to prove you wrong. I don’t care what your reasoning is. You want to prove me wrong. You want to say, michael, I don’t believe this. Michael, I’m an atheist. Michael, I’m a Jew. Michael, I’m a Muslim. I’m. Whatever.

I’m going to prove you wrong. Do me a favor and start that search now and prove me wrong. I want you to. Lee Strobel, very dear friend of mine, if you really care, if you really want to look at the truth, look up the name Lee Strobel. S T R O B E L. Look it up and look at some of the books he wrote. Lee Strobel was a hardcore atheist. He hated the thought of Christianity more than that. He was a journalist, a researcher. His wife was going to a Christian church and he hated it.

All of a sudden, she started going to church. And he was so incensed, he said, I’m going to prove you wrong. I’m going to do the research and I’m going to prove you wrong. Well, he did the research. He was a journalist, a research expert, and he has become one of the strongest Christians that I’ve ever met. Based upon the evidence that supports the fact that the Bible is truly God’s word and that Jesus truly is our risen savior. So I’m begging you, any one of you there, do the work. Prove me wrong. Be able to come back on here and say, Michael, you’re 100% wrong.

And I just proved it. Do it. I challenge you. Mjfrancise the number 527mail.com. But look up the name right now. Lee Strobel. And look at his books. The case for Christ, the case for creating. Look it up. Please do. Cyrus Kamar. What does it mean to search? I think I just answered that, Cyrus. I hope take me up on my offer. Michael. Best Christian song, song I listened to is I can Only imagine. I love that song. I love it. I truly love it. It did a lot for me at a time that I was going through some rough times.

I can only imagine people go and listen to that song. Beautiful, beautiful song. I can only imagine when I’m standing in front of the Lord what I’m going to see. Please look it up. I am, I’m speaking. I’m not in the seat watching. Fortunately. I’ve heard pastor Great many, many, many times. He’s my pastor. I love the man. I know exactly what he’s going to say tonight. My joy here is in maybe getting one person to come to the Lord tonight. And listen, there’s going to be an altar call, there’s going to be a profession of faith call.

If you want to jump off here at any point in time towards the end of the evening, please go on harvest.org please and, and give yourself the opportunity to accept Christ tonight. It’s. It’ll be life changing for you. It’ll be a transform people. Let me ask you this. Fortune magazine, you know the deal 1986, 50 biggest and most powerful mob bosses in the country. Okay? They wrote it, it was a huge article. They had a chart with the 50 of us on there according to rank and wealth and power. I was number 18 on the list.

I was the youngest guy on the list. Do I believe I was one of the most powerful mob bosses in the country? No, I don’t have to believe that. Who knows? Who know, who cares? Okay? But I was on that list and I was a mob guy and I did make a lot of money. Can you explain to me right now, explain to me why 48 of the men on that list some 30 odd years later are dead? 48 of them are dead. Number 49 is either in prison or he’s just released. He’s in his 90s.

I’m not sure. And I’m the only Only one alive and free, publicly professing my faith in Jesus Christ. You think that’s a coincidence? Or do you believe that God had a different plan and a purpose for my life? You think everything is just a coincidence in life? Oh, Michael, you skated. Let me tell you something, people. From the minute I walked away from that life, I was public. I didn’t go into witness protection program. I didn’t go into hiding. I lived publicly from the moment I walked away from that life. Yes, they kept me in solitary, but they kept me in solitary, in prison because they were punishing me.

And for the last six months, I was back out on the yard. I spent a lot of time on the yard. Out of my eight years, five years were on the yard. Well, not five, because they put me on diesel therapy for a couple of months. So at least four years round in population. And I had walked away from the life. It was all over the news. And then when I got out, I was publicly speaking at churches. They advertised this. I was speaking at speaking engagements. They could have got to me if they wanted to.

You think maybe God had his hand of protection on me? There’s no magic to this. God had a different plan and a purpose for my life. It’s plain and simple. So what are you waiting for to know that you will go to heaven? What do you need to do to find what the Bible calls a peace that passes on human understanding? What do you need to do to find meaning and purpose in life that you’re searching for? Number one, you have to admit you’re a sinner. The Book says to pray for your authority. That’s right. That’s right, Ryan.

We ought to pray for our leaders, whether we love them or whether we like them or not. We’re supposed to love them no matter what. But whether we like them or not, we ought to pray for our leadership. And praying for our leadership if God answers our prayers is only going to benefit the people. Remember that. Because then they’ll do the right thing. They’ll do what’s building. Biblical. Okay, I have a Eric Dillman. Thank you, Eric, for your donation. Again, we don’t ask for that, but Eric, I always appreciate your support. And Eric quoted a Bible verse, Proverbs 15, chapter 15, verse 1.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The most effective way to handle harshness and anger from others or from the inside is to respond with clear kindness or a neutral understanding. Eric, that’s very appropriate. Thank you for sending that. You’re very Right. And, you know, being in the venue where Charlie was tragically murdered, that’s all Charlie tried to do. He didn’t ditz anybody. He didn’t curse them out. He didn’t use profanity. He tried to debate with them. He was. He was definite in his. In his debate. He didn’t show any.

Any cowardice in the way he debated. He was very definite in what he believed, and he expressed it that way. There’s nothing wrong with that. You know, Christians are not. How could I say, we’re not cowards. You know, we’re not. We don’t not defend ourselves when we’re supposed to defend ourselves. So don’t think that because we. We come out in a forceful way, and I mean in our speech and not necessarily in profanity, that doesn’t mean that we’re doing something in a hateful way. Michael, do you have a favorite Bible verse? You know, I have many, but the two verses that.

That really led me on my road to Christianity were proverbs, Proverbs 16, 7, which says, When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, even his enemies are at peace with him. And why that verse meant so something to me. It was the first night that I was in solitary, and I picked up a Bible, and that was the first verse that really got to me because I had nothing but enemies that night. The law hated me. People on the street hated me. I had nothing but enemies. And it caused me to really look at myself and say, you know what? You walked away from that life, but you didn’t do it for you.

You did it because you wanted this girl in your life, and you knew you couldn’t have both because she was a Christian. And I just knew that she wouldn’t accept some of the things that I was involved in. So I made a choice. I wanted her. I wanted a family. I wanted to, you know, to have a life with her. And I said, so don’t think that you did a noble thing by walking away from the life. If you would have done it for me, I can take care of your enemies. That’s how that verse struck me that night.

And it really had an impact on me. I have it tattooed on my forearm. And then Proverbs, chapter 3, verses 5 and 6 was the verse that followed that one up. And it says, trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, Acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight. And I believe that verse put me on the right track, put me on the path to starting my search for the Lord. And that’s what did it. And for the next 29 months and seven days, I searched.

I searched every faith. I had books sent to me on every faith. I read my Bible inside out and upside down. God knows how many times. I had a Sony walk, man. And I listened. First discovered Pastor Greg during my time in solitary. And I came out of there convinced that the Bible was God’s word based upon the evidence. And, and I was convinced that Jesus is my risen savior. And it hasn’t changed. It’s become only more powerful to me throughout the years because I’ve seen what he’s done, not only in my life, but in the life of other people.

So that’s my story, people. And I know I have everything to gain and nothing to lose by following Jesus Christ because I turn from my sinful ways. I know when I’m committing a sin. I know it’s wrong. I do repent when I commit a sin. I try to be a. A better person. Don’t always succeed, but try my best. And I know that I have a loving and merciful God that’s helping me along the way. And my reward for all of this, as I believe firmly in my faith, is all a paradise when I leave this earth.

That’s what it is. And, and I’m sorry. You could believe it or you could disbelieve it. God gives us a free will, so that’s it. It’s good not looking over your shoulder all the time, right, Michael? John? Yes, you’re right. And I don’t look over my shoulder all the time, especially at this point in my life. Like I said, I’m 74 years old. God has given me a good life. What do I have to worry about at this point? I’m pretty secure on where I’m going when I lead this life. So I live it. I take one day at a time.

And I wish everybody, everybody can have the same feeling that I have. And I really mean that. And you get that feeling. You get that feeling by having a relationship with Jesus. Deb Perry Jordan Yes, Michael? Everyone has a purpose here on earth. And God loves us all. That’s the truth, Deb. We all have a plan. God has a plan and a purpose for every one of our lives. And by being in a relationship with Christ, that’s how we get to know what his purpose in our life is. Why worship false idols when you are in the universe? Well, you shouldn’t worship.

Worship false idols ever. There’s only one True God. And that’s who you should worship. Gangster for God. Yep. Call me that. Sign me up. I’m a gangster for God. True on that. Yes. Right. It simply means that you just disagree with him. We all disagree with each other on something. Even in the most perfect situation. Absolutely. Very well said. True on that. King, you are the earth. It’s not flat or globe. 3. King, I don’t know where you’re going, my friend, but you can do yourself a great favor. Instead of rejecting things with no knowledge, why don’t you search, have knowledge and then make a decision? Isn’t it always smarter? Okay.

Isn’t it always more correct to know what you’re thinking, know what you’re talking about by doing the work, by doing the research before you automatically reject something? I think so. But the choice is yours. Joannette. I appreciate your explanation about Catholicism. I’m a spirit filled believer and I still celebrate Ash Wednesday. I love it. It’s a time for renewal, confession, and to get things right. Well, that’s good that you celebrate Ash Wednesday, because we do. We celebrate Pentecost also. We celebrate all of that legal leading up to Easter. So nothing wrong with that. Karine Therese, I hope so.

God will welcome you to paradise with a well done, my good and faithful servant. Well, that’s what we strive for. And if we strive for that, we’re going to be better people. No doubt about it. Cam Doubleday. I’m going to join the family Bible study. Thanks for the reminder. Yeah, I mean, that would be. That would be wonderful. The more people we have in that Bible study, the more people are blessed. I can tell you that much. That’s for sure. All right, people, I am. I’m going to be wrapping this up in about 15 minutes. It’s 7:30, so if you have any.

I want to get out there and worship and listen to what Pastor has to say and get involved in this beautiful worship music also. So if you have any more comments, put them in here, but please understand what I’m saying. Fifi. Redemption and freedom. Redemption and freedom from the oath once taken, which goes something like. As burns this saint so will burn my soul. I enter alive and I will have to get out dead. Okay. That’s a good variation of the oath that I took some 50 years ago on Halloween night, 1975. Yeah, people, everybody on here, I think you should give a prayer for this person.

King, I really mean that. When we, when we hang up, let’s just. Let’s just say a prayer for him and, and see if God will touch his. There are too many records that prove God came. Absolutely, William. Highly corroborated. No doubt about it. Every knee will bow. No doubt. No one sa utterly resurrected conquering death so that all who believe on him may have eternal life. 14,000. Let me see what that said. I missed 14,000. Oh, that’s. Never mind that. Okay. 144,000 chosen ones know that there’s 12 tribes of 12,000. This has shown with 1440 minutes in a day and 144,000 days in the Mayan 14th buck turn.

Okay. Wish I was a mob boss that made millions. Well, I wish you were, too. And then came to the Lord. How’s that? The healers for Jesus is Michael Raphael. Michael. Another author that I have read is Roger Le Depous. He was in charge of the FBI’s behavior, a science unit, and wrote the book between good and Evil. He’s too Christian. All right, we’re going to be signing off in 10 minutes, so let’s turn the camera around. All right, I want to thank all of you for tuning in tonight. I appreciate it, and I’m really encouraging that.

Now to go to harvest.org that’s H A R V E-S-T.org and listen to the remainder of this crusade here tonight. Pastor Greg is delivering a wonderful message. Right now. We’re going to hear some more worship music, and then we’re going to hear from, I think Phil Wickham again. Yeah. And Chris Tomlin. And boy, if that music doesn’t increase, encourage you and raise your spirits, nothing will. So, look, I thank all of you for tuning in. I appreciate it very much, giving me the opportunity to share a little of my faith and beliefs with you. And once again, people, this is all about sharing, not about imposing my faith on you.

I’ve spoken to, I have to say, millions of people over the last 30 years, whether it be online, whether it be in person, whether it be on the radio. I’ve had the privilege of delivering the gospel message for the past 30 years, and God has blessed me in many, many ways because of that. I know many people have been blessed because of the message that I’ve delivered, and that was the purpose of all of this here tonight. So for all of you out there, anything more? Do you want to end this in prayer? I think we’ll do that.

When? Let me see. I see a few last minute up here. Okay. Geological proof of parting of the Red Sea and lots of other stories in the Bible. Absolutely. There is geological proof of that living life is just better. Okay. Michael, do you use a study commentary? I do, and it’s very, very helpful. And I used one that was created by Pastor Greg Laurie, but there were so many good ones out there you can get online. Vito, we’re going to sin a lot and then ask Christ to forgive us. Well, you can’t. No, you know, Vito, you can’t pull a scam on God.

You can’t just say, you know what? Let me sin all week long and then go into confessional on Saturday or Friday and just ask for forgiveness, and then an hour later, start sinning again. You’re not kidding God. You’re kidding yourself. You’re not pulling a scam on God. So if you have that attitude, you know, don’t even bother. Why even bother? Catholics don’t preach that either. Catholics don’t say, go out, you know, confess your sins on Friday and on Saturday, start sinning again, then come back next Friday. They don’t say that. That’s not Catholicism. I’m sorry. If this isn’t what you believe, then move along and stop criticizing those who do believe.

Well, you know what? You got to pray for those people because they’re ignorant. Honestly, they’re ignorant of the word of God. So you have to pray for them. Again, this is not about divisiveness here. It’s about praying for people that haven’t seen the light, light of the word. What’s that? Who is that? Oh, everybody’s going down to the stage now. Let these people see. Oh, they’re on there already. Oh, no. Okay, can you see all these people coming down now? Turn it that way, people. I want you to see this people, because they’re going to be coming down to that stage now after the message that Pastor Greg just delivered.

Oh, we have a donation here. Let me go to him. J Dove, Jay, thank you very much. Very generous of you. I found God. Thank you for your words of wisdom, Michael. God bless. Thank you, Jay. Hopefully it was before tonight, but if it wasn’t and it was tonight, praise God for that. I’m thankful for that. But look at these people going. These people are going to have a transformation in their lives tonight. No doubt about it. They are walking down out of their seats. They’re going to be going down to the stage. Look at that.

And they will experience a transformation. There’s no doubt about it. They’re going to be experiencing it tonight. I’m so happy to see this in every time. Every time Pastor Greg does this, so many people give their life to Jesus Christ Life changing experience. If some are in here who don’t know God, don’t be embarrassed to pray. However you sound won’t matter to God. He will hear you ask for revealing of things you don’t understand. If you were there now and you don’t know the Lord and you want to join into this, please, you can jump off of this right now.

Go on harvest.org listen to Pastor Greg’s message message and he’s going to give you an opportunity to accept Christ tonight. It’s an offer that you shouldn’t, shouldn’t refuse. Believe that you left the life with millions in the bank. That also helps. No, I did not leave the life with millions in the bank. You don’t know the situation so why would you say that did not have millions in the bank. I pled guilty to racketeering. I paid millions of dollars in fines and restitution and gave a lot away. I did not have millions in the bank. You’re wrong about that.

So whatever. And I did eight years and my wife went through pretty much of a hell during many most of those eight years. So please get your this is what I tell people about listening to what you listen to online. You know, do your research before you say something. It’s better for you and it’s better for the people you communicate with. George Seinfeld, your daughter’s channel is starting to take off. Great content being delivered. Thank you George. We appreciate your support. They’re two good young ladies. I can tell you that. I’m proud of the both of them and I appreciate you saying that the devil is the accuser, not God.

You’re right. Absolutely right. You left the life with no. Here we go again. Michael need healing. Prayer for chronic pain and eyesight. Mayor I give you my word. I will pray for you tonight. My wife and I both will pray for you. Mayor I’ll remember that name. It’s in my hand. You need prayer for chronic pain and eyesight. I’ll do my best. And anybody on here that’s willing to pray for Mayor, please pray for healing for his pain and his eyesight. Mayor look at that state. Look at the people coming down there to accept the Lord tonight.

This happens at every crusade. Lives are being changed right now. Right now, lives are being changed. Man versus Vegas. God bless you and your us, Michael. Jesus, King of kings, Lord of lords. Absolutely. O.J. i think you made your your point. Do you want to keep going? That’s fine with me. Absolutely. There’s a lot in the Bible about forgiveness of sin. One of the big ones, 1 John 1:19, which says that if we confess our sins, he’s faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us. God bless you, Michael, and the whole team. God bless. Bless everyone in this chat, regardless of sex, race, political views.

Cam Doubleday, I’m becoming a fan of yours on here. Thank you for spreading, you know, you’re really spreading the gospel right now, whether you realize it or not. And I appreciate your help. Thank you very much. DAVID S. Thank you, Michael, for helping me try to find a better relationship with God. I never read the Bible before listening to you, Michael. David, thank you so much. That’s very, very encouraging and that’s what I love to hear. Michael I tried the wine. It was very good. Thank you. I appreciate that. Jesus, Smyrna and Philadelphia teachings. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, the false Christ.

Satan comes first. Ezekiel 33. Watch, watch men. Satan arrives at 6. You’re right about this. Smyrna. Everything. Derek Lopez, My father came to Jesus Christ to be saved after he lived a life of crime. And Derek, if he came to Jesus, you have one guarantee. He was saved, no doubt. Pam Tar have you read the Case for Christ? I absolutely have read all of books and I encourage everybody on this chat and viewing right now to read Lee Strobel’s books. Lee Strobel, My understanding of Catholicism is they aren’t directed to proselytize. Why is that? I can’t answer that for you because I don’t know if that’s true.

But I would look it up, Amy, and try to respond. I don’t want to answer that. Anything. I don’t know if that’s correct or not. Right now, Pastor Greg is giving the invitation and he’s saying, jesus, I know that I’m a sinner, but I know that you’re the Savior. And tonight I repent of all my sins. I ask for forgiveness, Lord, and from this point on, I turn from my sinful ways and I agree to follow you forever, Lord, because you are my God, you are my Savior, you are my redeemer. And I ask you from this point to fill me with your Holy spirit.

I hope that anyone listening now, if you want to be saved, those are the words I’ve just given you. And God bless all of you, all of these people that you see on the stage, they’ve all came down and accepted Christ tonight. Ryan thank you very much. Ryan Keep up your wonderful work. Michael thanks to you, I devoted my spare time to read my Bible and follow path of The Lord. Praise Jesus. Bless you. Ryan. Thank you very much for that. Very encouraging. All right, people, I’m going to go out and get blessed by Pastor Dave, Pastor Greg right now.

There’s a few pastors here tonight, but thank you all for tuning and I mean that. So I’m going to, I’m going to, going to end this in prayer for all of you. I’m going to end it specifically for King, for og, for all you people out there that I really believe you need to hear the word of God. Karine, thank you very much. I appreciate your participating in this and being encouraged tonight. Justin, thank you very much. Let me see. Feel no way. Thank you very much. Cam Doubleday, thank you especially. Thank you for being so, so just kind and wonderful tonight.

Thank you for contributing. Jojo, brother, I never seen you do this, but you have my respect. I just ate a prayer for myself for the first time and I’m a young black brother from chi and this life just made me respect. Well, brother, I appreciate that very much. And let me tell you, some black, white, red, yellow, we don’t look at that. We look at brothers and sisters in Christ because that’s what we hope for, that we all are brothers and sisters in Christ. But thank you. And I’ll say a special prayer for you tonight, Jojo.

Promise you that. Paul Farrell. Thank you, Paul. Good. You want to play chicken with somebody? I wouldn’t have picked God. So true words, my friend. Thank you. Yes. I’ve had Mormons come up to me, Joshua. There were Mormons in prison that tried to convert me to Mormonism. Didn’t work. But we, we shared a lot of good words between us. All right, Mayor, again, I’ll be praying for you tonight, my friend. All right, so I’m signing off. I’m going to sign off in prayer if you want to join me in. Dear Lord, thank you, God, for all the blessings that you’ve bestowed on me and all the people that attended and are attending this wonderful, wonderful service tonight, this wonderful crusade.

I ask for a special blessing for all the people here that were affected or impacted in any way by Charlie Kirk’s tragic murder. We ask for special blessings on the people here of Salt Lake City and all of Utah. I ask for special blessings on all those Mormons who turned to us and asked us to come here tonight. And we pray for a special for all of them. I pray, Lord, for a special blessing for everybody that’s on this live tonight. I thank them all for tuning in. Very, very much appreciate to all of those of you who support me online and who have supported my ministry throughout.

Thank you God for all of that and just enjoy the rest of the evening. I encourage you all to go to harvest.org and stream this live tonight because you’re going to hear some wonderful, wonderful worship music. And I really mean that. The best is yet to come. God bless all of you and we’ll see you next time. Take care.
