Give it all, Lord, and to You, You deserve the glory. Yes, Lord, You deserve it all. We worship You, creator, Savior, deliverer, healer. We worship You this morning, God. We thank You for Your love. We thank You that there is forgiveness. Lord, You died on that cross to provide the way to wash our sins away. And Lord, God, You said that if we would confess our sins, that You would be faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We're thankful, Lord, that You love us, that You're merciful, that You're patient, that You're kind, that You're good to us. And even when we fall down, Lord, all You want us to do is get back up and ask You to forgive us, and You'll wash us clean in Your precious blood, because Your blood, Jesus, is the only thing that can wash sins away. Not good works, not religious works, simply faith in Your blood turning to You. Your death and resurrection, Lord, thank You so much, Lord. That's why we worship You. Only one worthy, the resurrection and the life, the name above every name is the name of Jesus. Somebody say amen to that. Amen. Hallelujah. Go ahead and give the Lord praise this morning. Hallelujah. All right. Hallelujah. You may be seated. And we welcome everyone to Fire and Grace Church, everyone watching out there. Good to have you all this morning.

  6. Finally, a little chilly in Alabama. It's nice. It's like God turned on the air conditioning down here. All right. Feels good. Y'all got your Bibles? All right. I hope so. A lot going on out in that world. I want everybody, though, right now to turn to Proverbs 22 real quick. Go get some wisdom today. Y'all want some wisdom? I think every now and then we need a dose of wisdom. Just a little dose, right? That's one thing the Lord told us. If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask. And the Lord, if you ask in what? Faith, He will give you liberally, right? So everybody has no excuse not to be wise. And yet, there are still fools. Right? When the Lord says, just ask, I give it to you. That's pretty good, isn't it? All right. Now, I want to read this verse because it won't leave me. I've talked about this probably a few weeks back, but we're going to go in a little different direction. But Proverbs 22 and verse three, Proverbs 22, verse three, I want to make sure everybody sees it. We'll have it up on the screen as well. Well, let's read it. It says, a prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple or the foolish pass on and are punished. Now, this right here, really, to tell you the truth, all true born again Christians who study the Bible, read the Bible ought to be ahead of the curve, right? We ought to know what's coming. We ought to see what's coming. And we ought to know to pay attention to what's going on in the world because most people walk around oblivious, right? Just, I got to get to the next, you know, party, or I got to get to the next drink, or I got to get to the next, uh, you know, joint, or I got to get to the next, you know, dead church service. I don't know. They, they just oblivious to what's going on in the world. And God never wanted us to be that way. He wanted us to be a people who both by his spirit, prophetically, by reading his word and by just paying attention, we should know what's coming upon us. He doesn't want, the Lord doesn't want any of his people caught by surprise about anything that's going to happen, especially if it is something evil coming. This is why the Bible has prophecy in it. It is to warn us

  7. like about the antichrist, about the mark of the beast, about the persecution of the end times, about the deceptions of the end times. This is why it's all there. So we will foresee it. And I'll tell you a lot of times, the reason that I recognize things is because I know this book. And I go, Hmm, that looks familiar right there. Now, in the days ahead, we are going to have to be so wise, and it may be closer than we think, we're going to have to be so wise to know when God wants us out and about and in the public. And when God wants us to hide ourselves, because there's going to be some chaos in this world. All right. And you have to have wisdom. And let me give you an example. There was a, do I have that somewhere? You look in my notes and look up the dream, the Walmart dream and see if it's in my notes. Because I may butcher it if I try to do it by you have it. Okay. I'm just send it to to my phone, I guess. I'm going to read that to you, though. Because this lady's dream that she had many years ago, really describes what I'm talking about. Okay. Because there's going to be a day, you better not set your foot in Walmart. You understand? I'm not I'm not talking about just, you know, you may not even be able to ride by. It's going to be used. There's going to be other stores that are going to be taken over first. And this is why I've told you guys to be prepared yourself, right? Because there's going to be a time that you need to stay home for a little bit. Not because of COVID, not because of some other biological weapon, but because of wicked people who are in a frenzy of violence and rioting. You said, Oh, no, no, no, that couldn't happen in Alabama. Well, look, I just read an al.com article that just said that if, you know, and then there's a lot of videos going around of threats, but if the government shutdown doesn't stop by November 1st, that all the people who are waiting for their government benefits, don't get them, they are going to start robbing people and going to the stores and tearing everything up and getting what they want and walking out with it. Now, if you think that can't happen in Alabama, I was shocked to find when Donnie and I were coming back from Huntsville. I looked up and I said, I didn't realize that out

  8. of the 5 million people that live in Alabama, 750,000 plus are on federal government benefits. Now, if that, you know, not everybody's going to act a fool, as we say in the South, but even if 100,000 did in just Alabama, what kind of chaos could that create? I feel bad for these people who live in big cities because you think it could get bad around here, but man, Birmingham, Mobile, Atlanta. Oh, and I can't even imagine Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles. And so these are things that we have to, again, a simple paying attention of what's going on goes home. Maybe I should have some groceries in the house before November 1st. Maybe I should plan to not be going to Walmart and Kroger and Piggly Wiggly. Piggly Wiggly, that's Donnie's favorite place to go right there, the pig. I don't know, people in the North go, what's a Piggly Wiggly? You know, it's the greatest supermarket in the world, according to Donnie. But this is another, again, this is just, I think this is another thing to get our attention. Now, this may not be as bad as some are saying it could be. It could be worse. But let's just say it's not. Let's say November 1st comes and goes and nothing really happens. Just know this, at some point, the people who have been, see, this is why, I told this to Donnie, this is why every little venture into socialism, communism, always ends up in disaster. Every single time. See, our government programs, these are socialism, right? The school, the public schools, that's socialism, communism. It's never meant to be that way. And every time that we allow the government to create a system that socialism or slash communism, it always produces a disaster. There are some people living in America right now who have been on government subsistence or provision, however you want to call it, all of their lives. And they're like my age.

  9. But what gets me is this mindset. I don't have a problem. It's like, all right, some people need help sometimes. That's fine. Jesus said the poor you will always have with you. And it used to be the church and the community would take care of it. But again, the problem has grown so bad, right, that the government got involved in trying to provide for the poor. But what happens is, if you provide it too long, too much, and you set up a system where it doesn't lead to work and becoming your own self and providing for yourself, if it doesn't lead to that, then guess what it leads to? And what blows my mind are the people who think that somehow the government owes them. It's kind of like thinking that Jesus owes you. He doesn't owe you anything. Some of y'all got quiet as Lutherans. Jesus doesn't owe you anything. That's why you don't walk around and get an attitude. God, you can't give me this yet. Because he doesn't owe you anything. Even though he's provided healing for us, he doesn't owe us that. We don't walk around going, hey, I didn't get this, so I'm going to buck up. No. First thing you better say to the Lord is, I don't deserve it. I know I don't deserve anything. And this is why you can't be totally dependent upon any government of the world, because guess what? I assure you one day, that government's going to have a problem. They're going to go broke. Because you know what happens in socialism and communism? Is that sooner or later, you run out of other people's money, right? The thing about taking from the middle class, the rich, and taking care of everybody who won't produce, the problem with that is, eventually, the people who are working and making money get tired of it being taken away from them, so they find somewhere to move, and then guess what? The government can't keep paying for it. That's why that system doesn't work. But see, here's what's going to happen. Those people out there that think, oh, they owe me my SNAP, my EBT, or whatever it is, they owed me this. And if I don't get it, I'm walking to a grocery store, and I'm stealing my turkey. And anybody who gets in my way is going to get busted in the face. What do you think is

  10. going to happen? I said, as Donnie and I were talking about this yesterday, I said, well, you know, Walmart might step aside and let you take what you want. Mom and pop store might put a bullet in you, especially in Alabama. So it's going to end up bad if this goes on. But here's another thought. Let's take it to the next level so you got to think logically, right? Let's say there is mass rioting and looting of grocery stores. What do you think is going to happen once they're looted out? They're going to refill it for you to loot again? No, because they can't make money that way. And I'm sorry they're in business to make money, right? And if they did fill it up again, and it got looted again, then what? What do you do? And then it's not safe for some of us to go, especially certain races of people. And guess what happens? People start dying in front of grocery stores. What are the police going to do? They're going to be outnumbered. See, that's why the devil, you all think he's, it's just kind of random stuff that's happened. No, the defund the police thing years ago is, we see how that's working out, right? And this is just the beginning, y'all. See, what we don't realize is like, that's why like food production factories were under attack a few years ago, and many of them burned to the ground, destroyed in America. And we're talking about hundreds across the world. The war in the Ukraine is really to keep the wheat, the barley, and of course, the fertilizer that most of the world depends on is in the Ukraine. The lady running for Ag Commissioner here in Alabama, I've heard her speak several times. I like her McGinnis. But she has pointed out that right now in Alabama, one in every four pigs that we get our good bacon and ham from is owned by China. Now, how could that happen in Alabama? Because we got some bad people selling us out. She even comments and says that she knows that 400,000 acres of Alabama land

  11. is owned by China. Now, if I was governor, that would be over. I'd take that land straight back, and China would be out of here. That's what they did in Arkansas. We should do it here. Y'all don't shout me down when I'm preaching. Good. Let me read the Walmart dream here. I think this is this is in the days ahead. This is so you can foresee it in the future. This was March 14th, 2012. The lady's name is Belinda Anderson. It was entitled Trapped by the Beast. And she said, I dreamed I was walking on my lane just as it was dawning to go up to the main road to the mailbox and get the newspaper. Just as I got to the road, I saw one of my neighbors getting into his truck. He drove up to me and said, you better get to Walmart quickly. They are giving away free food, water, medicine, and gas, which lets you know what's about to get to be in shortage, right? We had two refineries explode here in the U.S. I think that's probably already Chinese or Muslim sleeper cells starting to take out key targets. One of the things you target is oil refineries. And he said, my husband's asleep, so I'll have to wait until he wakes up. My neighbor said, well, I wouldn't wait too long or you might miss out. Then he left. I went on over to the mailbox and got the newspaper. I got halfway back down the lane when I heard a voice saying to me, it's a trap. It's a trap. Don't go. I asked, what's a trap? The next thing I knew, I was standing in a Walmart parking lot. The lot was packed like it always is. So I asked what was wrong. I heard the same voice say, look at the people. So I looked at the people and they were coming out of the store with grocery carts full of items, getting into their cars and leaving. And I asked again, what's wrong? The voice said, look closer at the people. So I zeroed in on the people and all of a sudden I noticed they were all wearing dog tags. I hope y'all figure that one out. Then I found myself inside the store. There was a long line at the left of the store against the wall. They had it set up like an airport with rope lines. So the flow of the people would be orderly. The store was full of products and people were shopping. So everything looked normal to these people in line. However, I noticed that the people shopping had on dog tags, like the people in the parking lot. My oldest brother had been in the military years ago. So I knew that these, what these dog tags

  12. were. And I said to myself, these are soldiers dressed up as civilians. Bear listen, because these soldiers that have come across the southern border are dressed just like the rest of us. Anyway, says, where was I here? Yeah, there we go. All of a sudden I was standing at the back of the store. The store manager was standing in front of a set of doors marked personnel only. I noticed that he had on dog tags as well. He was telling the people that only four people could go with him at a time to be processed in to get their vouchers for the free stuff. Free stuff. He had them line up two on the left and two on the right behind him. And they went through the first set of doors and there was a breezeway area, then another set of metal doors. He was telling these people that when they went through the next set of doors, there would be two women sitting at a desk to go up to the desk and wait. As soon as these people got up to the desk and the second set of doors closed, four large men that looked like sumo wrestlers came up behind these people, put their hands over their mouths and gave them some kind of shot. These soldiers took their driver's license and car keys from them. I believe these driver's license represent taking away their identity or something like that. So she started giving a little of her own interpretation. But then she says, two women sitting at the desk stamp these people on their right hands. I got closer so I could see what the staff read. It read bus number one, section A. And these people were led out the back door to a waiting bus. These people couldn't put up a fight as the shot they were given made them like zombies and they could barely walk. These people or victims driver's license were placed in a box that read bus one section A as well. And I'm sure this was so that they keep track of just exactly where they were taking them. Their car keys were given to some soldiers standing close by. I decided to follow these soldiers with the keys to see what they were going to do. They found these people's cars and drove them off the parking lot. I decided to go back to the bus to see what was happening there. I noticed they were taking people to the back of the bus and working their way forward. When they would get two people in a seat, there was a large harness that came over the people's shoulders. Then the soldiers reached down, grabbed another harness, and it went through the legs. It all joined together. So it was like a prison bus. Then again, the next thing I knew, I was standing in a large field off a dirt road. This field was full of empty car carriers. I watched as the soldiers drove onto the field up into the car carriers. And when the car carriers were full, they drove away. And then she said she lost count of how many cars they they had taken. But then she said,

  13. I stood thinking how clever that the whole process was. They didn't have to go to to the people. They devised a clever way to have the people come to them without putting up a fight like lambs to the slaughter. I also thought to myself, they have been planning this for a long time. Walmart would be a very logical staging area as they provide food, clothing, supplies, water, medicine, gas. They are always advertising it as a one-stop shop. Now we know why. I took another look at Walmart. For some reason, I looked at it in reverse from the dash out, and it read, Mark Law. And this could be Marshall Law. Then I woke up. This was in 2012. And then there was a season of weird things going on with Walmart setting down and construction going on, but yet no public permits or description of things that were going on. So I'm just telling you, it could be Walmart. It could be somewhere else. But there are things planned. And this is why I've said for years and years and years now, you have got to know the voice of the Lord. You've got to know when the Holy Spirit is saying, I don't want you to go there. But there's free stuff. Man, you better chew on some pine bark before you go do that. Right. And that's how they're going to do it. Because people are going to be, boy, I didn't eat. Now, if we have nationwide rioting over EBT, SNAP, whatever, Trump will have to call out the military, Marshall Law. And it's going to get interesting then. But I think that our biggest problem is not going to be our own soldiers. It will be the soldiers that are here walking around in our clothes who are not for us. And as I shared yesterday when I was speaking up in Huntsville, I've been listening to Sean Ryan's show a good bit. And I like him a lot. I don't think he's correct about everything. I don't, you know, I think he's kind of deceived, especially about the alien issue. But he has, you know, he's former Navy SEAL, former CIA, probably no such thing as former. But he has a woman on there called Sarah Adams, a blonde-headed woman who worked for the CIA. And she was basically in charge of drone strikes on targets that we had during the wars, the recent wars. And basically, she's doing independent intelligence work going into these places and getting in trouble from the Pentagon because she doesn't say go through the proper channels anymore. But she said, you know,

  14. if you go on the ground and you find out something, it's not like the government can tell you you can't talk about it. But anyway, the one thing I do think that they are very accurate about and telling us the truth about is how bad and how vast we have been invaded already and how that there is a plan and they know there's a plan by these people to cause another 9-11 except nationwide, more like an October 7th Israel thing where it just, they attack out of everywhere and started killing civilians and everything. It just caused, again, chaos, right? This is why, folks, that our founding fathers put in the Second Amendment. It's how they survived. It's how they founded this nation. It's how they defended themselves from a tyrannical government and what? From wicked people. I'm telling you right now, this is why every true patriot, true American should be armed to the teeth. Hey, Pastor Dean, you're a pastor. You shouldn't say that. Bring the riot to my house and see what happens. Why? Because I have a wife and a daughter, you understand? And I remember the Black Row Regiment, so guess what? I'm not going to sit there and just allow it to happen. But see, you need to be alert. You could walk into, you could be going about a normal, say, day out shopping and all of a sudden you start hearing gunfire. What are you going to do? See, some of us are going to run toward it. Some of you are going to have to run from it and hire yourself, right? And neither's okay, but this is what's going to be coming to America. And the police, the sheriffs, they're just going to be simply outnumbered. And what they'll probably do, these sleeper cells, what they'll probably do is cause some emergency somewhere to lure all the police and firefighters and stuff to one place and then take them out and then take their uniforms and their radios. Hey, Pastor Dean, this is worse than a movie. Oh, it's going to be. It's going

  15. to be. And you're going to have to be wise as a serpent and you're going to have to stay away from some places. I spoke three places and Thursday I spoke to the Montgomery, at the Montgomery Country Club to the capital city Republican women. That night, Thursday night, I spoke in Birmingham to the Federation, Alabama Federation Republican women and then yesterday up into the Focus on America group up in Huntsville, Madison area. But there was a lady that came up to me in Montgomery and she said, I just want you to know, because I had mentioned some of this in my speech there, so I just want you to know that we have had some Muslims and she said, not even trying to hide the fact that they were Muslim, but dressed like Muslims scoping out and doing recon work on churches in Montgomery. And she said, this has happened to several churches. And she said, they're looking at the smaller churches because they're not going to have the security that bigger churches are going to have. And I said, well, that's why everyone in your church better be carrying a gun. And she said, oh, I got mine right here and patted her purse. I said, good for you. She said, I just wanted you to know that, that this is happening in Montgomery. Now, that's pretty close to home because I know the area and my daughter and granddaughter happen to live very close to there. So this is, you know, this is real life and this stuff is going on. So you need to prepare yourself and you need to prepare yourself, you know, in case you can't go to the store. What have I been saying for years? What if you couldn't go to the store for three months? Just think about that. Can't go to the store for three months. What do I need? What if the electricity is off for three months? What would I need? What would I need to cook? What would I need to keep the house warm if it's cold? What would I need to purify some water? What would I need? How would I get water? How would I flush the toilets? This is one of the first problems going to happen. And you better know how you're going to do it. It's great. No, I want to show you. Let's read that verse again. Let's put that verse back up again. Proverbs 22

  16. verse three, a prudent man, wise man, forseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on and are punished. So just like this guy in her dream, boy, you better go get your free stuff. Better go get it. You might miss out. Yeah, you're an idiot, right? You don't know you're being set up. I want you to go with me to Hebrews. Hebrews chapter 11, of course, known as the faith chapter, right? It's got the the heroes of the faith, right? Now I want you to go. Yeah, we're going to go to verse six and seven. I'm going to read that. Y'all with me? All right. He says here, verse six, but without faith, it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him by faith. Noah being warned of God of things not seen as yet. Somebody say warned of things that hadn't happened yet. God warned him. And it says by faith, Noah being warned of God of things not seen as yet moved with fear. I'm gonna say moved with fear. I'm not supposed to have fear. Really? Fear is a good thing when it makes you prepare yourself for the evil coming. All right. He says moved with fear and prepared an arc to the saving of his house by which he condemned the world and became heir of righteousness, which is by faith. Man, that is such to me, it's one of the most powerful scriptures because it gives us so much truth because it says, first of all, he's warned of God. So he was hearing God's voice. He was discerning what God was saying and God was warning him. There's going to be judgment. I'm going to destroy these wicked people, and I'm going to send a flood. You're going to build a boat. And guess what? As far as I know, at the time, there wasn't any boats and there wasn't any rain. So he didn't even know what a flood was unless God explained it to him. He didn't know what

  17. a boat was. But the Lord said, Here's how you're going to build it. This is what I want you to build. So get to building it because this is how you're going to save your household. And you've got to do this before the evil comes. And there's a people out there that thought, you know, people that actually prepped for dangerous times. Remember for the last couple of decades, anybody that did that, oh, you're a crazy person. Yeah, it's crazy until you're eating and they're not. It's crazy when you go out and shoot you a rabbit, a squirrel, a deer, and they don't know how to fire with it. Right? Bullets and beef jerky, y'all. Bullets and beef jerky. If that's all you can get, go get them. You want to know a good gift for a man? Bullets and beef jerky. Bullets and beef jerky. We'll take it. You know, that's better than socks, man. All right. All right. Let me go back to this. Let's see, we back up to verse six. I think it's interesting because he says, but without faith, it is impossible to please him. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. And then he uses the example immediately of Noah getting ready for the bad time. Now think about that. It's not wrong to know or foresee what's coming and prepare for it. Now let me just tell you, let's say again, nothing happens on November 1st and none of this happens. It could be everybody stays calm and reasonable. Right? Just know this, if you're prepared for November 1st, you'll be prepared for it if it happens later. Right? And I'll tell you this much. I do these messages like this because you will not be able to say that somebody didn't tell you to get ready for this stuff. Right? And I was arguing with the Lord about it a little bit this morning. And he said, no, remind them, warn them. I made preparations

  18. the other day, but I can't tell you what I made. I have been waiting on. I'm about to make some more. You say, well, some people say, well, Pastor Dean, I can't do all that. What's okay? Do what you can do and the Lord will help you, but don't sit on your butt and go, I'm just going to trust God. Okay. God expects you to do something. Now think about this. God could have taken Moses and his family up to heaven, flooded the earth. I mean, Noah, I'm sorry. Noah, I got Moses on my mind for some reason, but he could have taken him up to heaven and said, hey, destroy everybody else and then put them back down. But yet he made Noah build a boat for 120 years. So he made Noah do something. So you best do something. Right? He was moved. Right? And obviously that he understood or the Lord revealed to him, but when it says he moved with fear, it means he understood this is going to be bad. And the only way I save my family and think about this, the responsibility on him, this is not only the way we save our family, but how mankind will continue eight people. And that interesting in China, one of their ancient pictorial language, it had a boat and eight people. Basically mankind came from all that. They knew everybody knew, right? The flood really is the most easy thing to prove that it happened. I mean, when you have fossils, you have, you know, of sea life on top of Mount Everest, it happened just the way God said it happened. Just the way Moses said. See, I got back to Moses, right? Now, let's, let's, let's go over here and let me show you something else too. Toward the end of the chapter, the Hebrews faith chapter, he says this, he goes through all these different people. Joseph, Moses. He talks about a lot of different people. Rahab to Harlot. But then he says is verse 32 and what shall I more say for the time

  19. would fail me to tell of Gideon and of Barack and of Samson and of Japheth and of David and of Samuel and the prophets who through faith subdued kingdoms wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of aliens. Women received their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance. What way? How'd that get in there? Oops. Yeah. Yes. Some become martyrs and would not even relent their faith or deny Jesus under extreme torture. And it says that they would not deny him there. They would not and it says that they might obtain a better resurrection. Others had trial of cruel mocking and scourgings being beaten. Yay, more of bonds and imprisonment. They were stoned. They were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins being destitute, afflicted, tormented of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and in mountains and in dens and caves of the earth, and these all having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise yet. Think about that though. These are the heroes. The people that, yes, sometimes God is going to give you the victory over an entire army and sometimes he'll let you be taken captive, beaten, tortured, imprisoned. You say, well, Pastor Dean, that's not pleasant. Welcome to Rio Christianity, right? The Lord's going to allow some martyrs in the days ahead. The question is, do you love Jesus no matter what? No matter what you go through. No matter what difficulty comes. For some people, it's going to cave and go to Walmart. I don't like going to Walmart now. I don't like this

  20. iPhone I have to use. I'm actually kind of tired of computers. And folks just know this. I mean, we're not even at 12, so I can ramble on a little longer. Artificial intelligence, folks, is going to take over. I've been doing some more research into this and it is not good. Six more months is about all we got of normalcy. You understand? And they know, they know they already are losing control of it. Now, the only good thing I heard about that is I didn't know this until yesterday, but most of our nuclear weapons are not on the system, the digital system. They're analog. And their guidance systems are not GPS. There's actually a little door that opens and that uses the stars to navigate to its target. Kind of old-fashioned. I like that. I didn't know these things. And I've studied a lot. I've looked around, I guess they were classified for a long time. So the things that are probably going to be the more analog, the more old school, the more offline things are, the safer they're going to be. But I'm telling you that as I've studied this, every single AI expert who has worked on it to progress this stuff is warning now that it is going to control everything. It will be able to hack into anything. It's already creating its own language and code to speak to them themselves back and forth so that we don't understand what they're saying between each other. They don't like human beings. When asked who created this, they admit the fallen angels. That's who controls this. So it won't be long before they take control of all banking, of all buying and selling. What does that sound like? The mark of the beast. I always wondered how they would be able to enforce

  21. it. And guess what they just introduced in China. Saw it yesterday. The first humanoid robot that you can buy for your home. Yes. That runs around in place with your kids. Now, if they're giving that out as a retail device that you can buy, what do you think they have? Here's what's even scarier. Now they're building fighters, fighter jets, that are completely AI controlled. So meaning that they will be able to make turns and do things that having a human pilot in they can't couldn't do. Okay, that's good, right? But they're all synced up and controlled by artificial intelligence. So what if you got a massive squadron of these fighter jets fully armed to the teeth and AI decides, you know what, I'm not obeying these humans. In fact, they're the problem and they turn around. I mean, it really is Terminator. It really is Skynet. Because we're talking about drones and robots. Robots that will be bulletproof. I guess we'll have to buy Tannerite and blow them up somehow. But is that not going to be a creepy thing to see a bunch of robots marching down the street? And then let don't even get me started on China's super soldiers that they have genetically manipulated to not need sleep to be bigger, stronger, faster than all of us. You say, Pastor Dean, well, I'm sure we've been doing yeah, we probably have. So I guess what I'm saying is it's going to get sporty out there. Right. And you're going to need to be very wise and prudent about where you go, what you do. And women, please, if you go anywhere by yourself, or just you and kids, please have your gun with you. You are now most of y'all don't don't get this. You are now

  22. a product, a commodity. You are being hunted to be snatched and sold. So you got to be very careful. Very careful. Let me tell you, I was walking. Where was I? Oh, we were at a hotel. And I had to go back out the truck later. And I got left something in the truck and I was walking out there and I'm telling you now, where I used to just let somebody walk by me, a guy was walking by me this way, I turn around, make sure he wasn't turning around. This is what I'm talking about. You got to keep an eye on your surroundings. Say, oh, Pastor Dean, you shouldn't be like this. I mean, you can go find some man, be pam, be pastor out there. You know, I don't care. Go watch Joel Osteen. Have a good time. You know, go to Houston, live in Houston when this stuff starts. You're going to find out, right? We are as men. Let me just say this to men. We are not to be weak and passive when it comes to trying to protect the weaker. Do you understand? I don't know where this mentality got lost, that we can just be little man, be pam, that our wives and children be stolen or raped or whatever. No, no, no, no. Let me tell you, I got stuff in case I run out of bullets. I'll fight you with a sword, a spear, a knife, a Cherokee tomahawk. I'll put the boot to the face. I will not sit back. They will have to get to those two. It'll be over my dead body. Do you understand? That's what a man is supposed to be like, not girly men. You should know how to use a knife. You should know how to use a gun. You should know how to use a fishing pole. You understand? You should know these things, you know? The pedos and the homos ruined the Boy Scout. Our boys used to be taught something until they took it over. But this is what we must do. You can say,

  23. well, actually, I don't feel ready for any of this. Well, start somewhere. Best thing you can get you first, if you don't have a gun, is get a gun. The next thing you need to have is a great survival knife. These are some of the basic things you got to have, because if you go out into the woods, minimum, you need a knife. You can do a lot of stuff. You can make a lot of different weapons. You can make stuff to hunt with. You can make stuff to trap animals with, but you need a knife. That's why my daughter loves knives. I buy her knives. She's got a Marine Gerber knife, and that doesn't mean baby Gerber stuff. It's the knife the Marines like to carry. You say, oh, that's just weird. No, it's not. And I started this years ago. I got stuff I bought 15 years ago, 16 years ago, because I'm ready to go. I'm ready to do what I need to do. Ready to get some chickens, some goats. Let me go to one more passage. It's only 12. If that clock is correct, let me go to one more. Go to Proverbs chapter 30. More wisdom coming at you. Say, I like wisdom. I like wisdom. This is pretty cool here. I was actually going to talk about this yesterday in Huntsville, but I didn't get to it. Go down to verse 24. Proverbs 30 verse 24. So say, I want to be exceedingly wise. All right, here it comes. That's what he says. If you want to be exceedingly wise, verse 24 says, there be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise. Here's what it is. First one, he says the ants. What he says the ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer. What does that mean? The ants know they got enough wisdom to know food's going to be short in the winter. So we're going to work our butts off in the summer so that we got what we need to get through the difficult time. So think about that. He said, you want to be wise, you got to think like the ant. Say, I'm going to think like the ant.

  24. I'm going to get my stuff ready before I can't. Then he says this. This is awesome right here. The conees are but a feeble folk, yet make their houses in the rocks. Now, this one's good. How many of you know what a coney is? Anybody know what a coney is? Huh? What do you know? Okay, I can't believe it. No one in this room knows what a coney is, except maybe Wanda might know. Nope. It's a little thing. Here's what it is. It's basically a similar to a badger. It's a little creature that's probably a bit bigger than a squirrel, probably about the size of a rabbit, but it's not a rabbit. Anyway, it's called a hyrax or something like that. Anyway, what these things are, they're cute too. They eat vegetation and you can have one as a pet as long as you had a nice big rock. Here's what it is. Their wisdom is this, is that mostly they live in the desert. Hot, dry place, dangerous place. They have many predators in the desert, especially eagles and hawks and things that can take them easily. This is why he says, but they hide themselves in the rocks. What they're talking about is that they don't have a cooling system. What they do is they find rocks where they can get into places and make their home there so they have shade and they'll stay in there in the daytime and they'll come out when it cools off a little bit and they'll eat what they can eat and then they run back in so the predators won't get them. What I love about this, what he's saying is the wisdom is now who is our rock? Jesus. Doesn't he say also that he's our high tower and the righteous run in and they are safe. He's telling us right here, the wisdom you need to have is make sure you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, that you dwell in the presence and in relationship and in the place of prayer and worship with Jesus so that you will be like the conies that hide yourself in the rock. Amen. This is the next one. This is awesome. He said the locust, say I want to be like the locust. Y'all weren't too sure about that right there.

  25. He said the locust have no king yet they go forth all of them by bands or together, gather together. Oh this is so important. He said the wisdom you're going to get from the locust is that you are not to be a loner. You are not to be separate from the body. You're not to try to isolate yourself. You're not to try to do it on your own. You're going to need each other. Therefore what is this talking about? This talk about the need for a church family, a need for people who are like-minded and unified true unity because we're going to have to help each other when this goes down because we all have different skills, different abilities, different things that we can help people with and the Bible tells us to do good especially to the household of faith in Galatians. But see what he's saying there they have no king and they're still in unity. Boy if the church of Jesus Christ could learn this, we have a king. We have one king, Jesus. We have one book. There's one way. There's not many ways. If we could learn to all accept what the Bible says and be unified together we could accomplish anything, right? And that's why the scripture says in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 25 that we are to what? Not forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is but what? Let me hear you. Put it up here for them. I don't think they know it. I want y'all need to get this verse down in you. This was the anti-covid verse. I was talking to somebody up in Birmingham the other night and they were talking about how disappointed they were and this is somebody in Alabama that all the churches shut down. They could not find one open. I said well we didn't shut down and they were like well I wish I'd have known that. I'm like yeah why did we not shut down? Hebrews 10 25. Let's read it. Want everybody to see it? This is a verse you ought to memorize. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is but exhorting one another. What does that mean? Not just encouraging. It means to do what's necessary. Get your exhorting one another

  26. and so much the more as you see the day approaching. I'm just talking about the end times. This is particularly focused on not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together in the last days because you're going to need you're going to need people. I need y'all. Y'all need me. You need him. She needs her. Just keep doing it right. That's the locust. They have no king. Now let's go to the next one. Huh? The spider. Oh this one. This one's going to be good. It says the spider takeeth hold with her hands and is in king's palaces. Now we know what that's talking about. Spider takes the web and forms it into their home and sometimes the different spiders form like tunnels that they will be hidden down in and some of their webs are more sticky than others but they're they they build them a place of safety and to catch their food right but where does the web come from? Comes from within them right? They produce it okay. This is another principle you have here of getting off your butt and doing the work yourself. I'm not waiting for somebody else to provide for me. I'm not waiting for the government to provide for me. I'm going to provide for me. I'm going to do what I know to do. I'm going to do everything I know to do. I ain't going to lay on the couch and watch Netflix and eat my month. That's over and that means too as that spider produces that from you know there's this this old saying that basically what you uh what you're full of is what Jesus said will come out of you right? See these hard times we find out who's who and some of us when we find a lazy person we can take them out behind the barn and give them a good whipping and uh as we say here and they'll learn to get off their butt and produce right because guess what you know farm work itself taking care of animals a garden a canning food it's work it's work hunting is work try hauling 150 pound deer out of the woods

  27. how not easy say well I'll have me a nice little side by side well I hope you have gas for it one day the gas runs out you better know how to you better know how to dress that deer up and make it a backpack in the woods carry that thing out or you better be man enough to throw it over your shoulder and carry it after you've got it out there you're going to have to oh gosh I can't stand the sight of blood some of you gonna have to get some testosterone shots before it's over with I think stop eating the soy too much estrogen out there and these men say well pass it in again I can't do all the air you can you can do what this is the thing about it who could believe that you can watch I've watched spiders like I my porch we go in at night sometimes we've walked through that area and by the next morning there will be a whole thing built there to catch us they're like how did they do this overnight this is the kind of stuff say the ant the coney right the locust the spider god said these things are little upon the earth yet they're exceedingly wise they're not lazy they get the things done that need to be done in time they know where their place of refuge is right and they get off their butt and work hard pretty good stuff I think y'all get some wisdom today are the netflix and bonbons over with now all right let's stand now people gonna be looking at what's a bonbon let's pray father in heaven we love you today and god in heaven we know that you want us to to foresee the evil means you want us to hear your voice you want us to be aware you want us to be looking around and looking at what's happening in the world and to not be caught unaware lord you want us to know your word you want us to hear

  28. your voice you want us lord to prepare lord to prepare our meat right in the summer before the winter gets here and so lord help us prepare for these uh evil days and dark days and dangerous days that are coming and lord we pray for our nation we pray for our president we pray for our leaders governors in every state we pray for our mayors and our police officers and our soldiers our intel agencies we pray for all the good guys and good women that are in these places we pray god that you bless them anoint them give them wisdom uh to fight they bear not the sword in vain help them intercept and stop the plots of the wicked as much as possible lord help us be a people that that looks after our neighbor lord raise up some men that will run toward the gunfire to help the police and not run away or we pray the name of jesus that we will truly be bold and brave and courageous in these days that are ahead no matter what happens lord and that we will not draw back from you deny you disobey you we will not fear death we will not fear persecution we will not fear those things we will trust you whatever if we are to be victors over an army or if we are to be thrown into prison and persecuted lord we trust you will be there your presence will be there your grace will be there your power will be there to get through whatever's happening but help us be like the spider and get to work like the ant like the locust like the coney's lord we want to draw near to you and do what you want us to do and i pray this for everyone here for everyone watching and listening god give us wisdom for these days let us hear your voice let us discern the people around us that might be pretending to be something they're not thank you thank you lord we praise you this morning jesus name amen amen real quick uh before we dismiss this morning um we are moving forward with uh building we are probably we i think we are finding some solutions that

  29. are going to work for us just keep fasting and praying it's working we're finding what we need and so i don't think it's going to be very long before uh we have a building on that land out there that we we owe without borrowing a dime from the bankers so we'll say bye to y'all out there hugs the next before you leave god bless and y'all stay here for a second all right i'm waiting love y'all
