[00:00:17] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_02]
[00:00:17] Will you please stand for the reading of God's Word. Turn in your Bibles to Psalms 122, verses 6 through 9. As we gather here this morning in peace and serenity, the winds of war are blowing over the ancient city of Jerusalem in the Middle East. Let's read Psalms 122, 6 through 9.
[00:00:40] pray for the peace of Jerusalem may they prosper who love you peace be within your walls prosperity within your palaces for the sake of my brethren and companions I will now say peace be unto you
[00:00:57] because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good can we pray together our most gracious heavenly father as we gather in this house today we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the many Christians
[00:01:14] in Iran that will now be free to worship you in spirit and in truth today we rejoice in the prophetic scriptures of Ezekiel revealing God's operation fury for the enemies of Israel in the near future
[00:01:31] King David writes in the Psalms concerning Israel you shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Amen. You may be seated. Consider the history of Iran's war of terror
[00:01:58] against America. I give this because there are always someone who says, so why did we do that?
[00:02:05] What has Iran done to justify this?
[00:02:10] The arranged war against America began in 1979 with the seizure of U.S. Embassy in Tehran where 52 Americans were held for 444 days.
[00:02:24] How many of you remember that?
[00:02:27] President Jimmy Carter took no action.
[00:02:30] The tale of terror continues.
[00:02:31] In 1983, Iran bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut and killed 63 people.
[00:02:38] Nothing was done.
[00:02:40] America took no action.
[00:02:42] In October 1983, Iran bombed the U.S. Marine barracks, killing 241 U.S. Marines.
[00:02:50] America took no action.
[00:02:53] Then there was the Khobar Tower bombing in June the 23rd, 1996, killing 19 U.S. Air Force personnel and injuring 500 others.
[00:03:04] America took no action.
[00:03:06] The point is, history proves that Iran will murder and rape countless people until they are forced to stop.
[00:03:16] Iran was given billions of dollars by Presidents Barack Obama and President Joe Biden.
[00:03:22] It was a bribe to keep the peace.
[00:03:25] This is pathetic diplomacy.
[00:03:29] America now has a president and Donald Trump who seeks peace, but he will not beg for peace.
[00:03:35] President Trump believes what George Washington said 250 years ago.
[00:03:50] America must have peace through strength.
[00:03:54] Peace through strength.
[00:04:00] God bless you, Mr. President.
[00:04:02] Iran is known as the head of the terror octopus and its militant proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah.
[00:04:09] Perhaps now their proxies will lose their ability to inflict their terror as they have over the past few decades.
[00:04:18] If that happens, it's very possible that Israel could enter a season of unprecedented peace with an expansion of the Middle East and trade agreements.
[00:04:28] One way or another, Israel's season of peace will come for the Lord has spoken it.
[00:04:34] Jeremiah 25, 30 and 38 says, for the Lord will roar from on high. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, meaning they're shouting for joy because they're making wine against the inhabitants of the earth
[00:04:53] because the Lord has a controversy with the nations. Listen, he has left his hiding place like a lion. Get that phrase. What did Israel call this military action against Iran? Israel called this military action Operation Roaring Lion, an absolute match for what's in the Word
[00:05:19] of God. Here's God's Operation Epic Fury for Russia, Iran, and Turkey in the future. The prophet Ezekiel makes it clear that in the end of days, right now, the king of the north, which is
[00:05:38] Russia, will invade Israel. Ezekiel's records, God will put a hook in the jaw of Russia and drag them to Israel. How? Because Israel has two commodities that Israel must have to be a superpower. Israel has an abundance of oil. The Wall Street Journal records that Israel
[00:06:02] has enough oil to last for a hundred years. Secondly, Israel has what Russia must have to be a global force, a warm water port for their Navy. Right now, Russia's Navy is limited by the
[00:06:18] icy conditions that surround them makes their ships unusable Ezekiel states that God quote in the fury of his wrath will send a great earthquake in the land of Israel so that the fish of the sea
[00:06:34] and the birds of the heaven and the beast of the field and all creeping things that creep on the earth shall shake at the presence of God mountains will fall and every wall shall fall to the ground
[00:06:48] Step one, this earthquake is going to swallow one third of the advancing army consisting of Russia, Turkey, and what's left of Iran, and groups of Islamics that want to join this marching army in the future coming to Israel. You say that's never happened before. Yes, it has.
[00:07:14] Remember when Moses came down from the mount He had the Ten Commandments He found his people committing adultery Breaking the laws of God And he threw the Ten Commandments And it struck the ox And God opened the ground
[00:07:33] And swallowed everybody that had broken the law of Moses Problem solved Your congregation is reduced but these are the ones who will see the promised land.
[00:07:50] An earthquake is going to do this again.
[00:07:53] He will swallow one-third of that invasionary force.
[00:07:57] Immediately following that, the Bible says, every man's sword shall be turned against his brother.
[00:08:04] This is what military terms call as friendly fire.
[00:08:08] They will kill each other because there will be multiple armies speaking multiple languages with multiple weapons and they're going to hit confusion and kill each other.
[00:08:19] You said that's never happened before.
[00:08:21] Oh, yes, it did.
[00:08:22] Whenever Gideon in the Old Testament went to war, God says, blow the trumpets and make a lot of racket and the people who come against you will kill each other.
[00:08:31] That's exactly what happened.
[00:08:33] The third weapon God's going to use as he crushes the adversaries of Israel is hailstones from heaven.
[00:08:43] If you read in the Old Testament in the battle of five kings when the children of Israel were going to the promised land.
[00:08:51] The battle of five kings tried to destroy Israel.
[00:08:55] And God sent hell stones from heaven and killed most of those people.
[00:09:01] The Bible says in one verse, and the stones from heaven killed more than the swords of Israel.
[00:09:08] The point is, God has these three weapons ready for Russia, for Iran, and for Turkey and everybody that follows them in the near future.
[00:09:25] This is going to happen because this telecast is in Russia.
[00:09:35] I want to say to all of my Russian listeners out there get right with Jesus because he's going to tear their nation down.
[00:09:47] The Bible says it will shake all nations.
[00:09:56] Haggai 2 and 6, written by one of my relatives, said, For thus saith the Lord, Once more I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land, and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the desire of nations, that's Israel,
[00:10:12] and I will fill the temple with glory.
[00:10:15] Thousands of years ago, God told the prophet Haggai to write down this warning to the nations of the world.
[00:10:22] Once more, I'm going to shake heaven and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
[00:10:27] I'm going to shake all nations, and that certainly will include the United States of America.
[00:10:34] Haggai writes in 2.22, I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms.
[00:10:41] God says, I'm going to wipe you out.
[00:10:44] Where were you on 9-11 when radical Islamics flew hijacked commercial airliners into the towers of America.
[00:10:53] Did 9-11 change us?
[00:10:55] No.
[00:10:56] Did America turn to God with prayer and fasting?
[00:11:00] No.
[00:11:01] Did America forsake its godless lifestyle?
[00:11:04] No.
[00:11:05] We were emotional for a few days and then it was life as usual.
[00:11:11] Congressmen even sang God bless America.
[00:11:15] But as soon as they finished singing God Bless America on the Capitol steps, they then went back inside and started fighting among each other in a political gridlock.
[00:11:25] Psalms 33.12 says, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
[00:11:30] Say that with me.
[00:11:31] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
[00:11:34] All nations that forget God are turned into hell.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_00]
[00:11:38] From the moment we wake up each morning, the battle for our attention begins.
[00:11:42] But what would happen if every day began in His presence?
[00:11:47] What if before the pressure, before the uncertainty, before the distractions of life, you grounded your heart in the promises of God?

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER SPEAKER_02]
[00:12:42] destroyed, what can the righteous do? Our country right now is embracing communism in New York.
[00:12:53] Our educational systems are teaching our children atheistic doctrines. We have lost control.
[00:13:02] What did our forefathers do when America was in a crisis? When it looked like America was about to come crashing down like a house of cards. When the Continental Congress was drafting the Declaration of Independence, they came to an impasse. They were arguing and debating with each
[00:13:24] other how it should go down. That's when Benjamin Franklin called upon the members of Congress to fall on their knees and ask God Almighty for his divine guidance. Our forefathers stopped what they were doing, got on their knees, and prayed to God. Think about that. Why pray? Because God
[00:13:49] answers prayer. The Bible says, call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not. America doesn't know the power of God because we will not release
[00:14:02] the power of God. America needs to hear from heaven. The church needs to see great and mighty things. Our nation needs healing from anarchy, from anti-Semitism, from political hatred. We need to be united again. Make us the United States of America once again. I wonder what would happen
[00:14:31] next week if President Trump were to walk into Congress and ask the men there to fall on their knees to seek the face for divine guidance. What did the father of our country, George Washington,
[00:14:45] do when it looked like the American Revolution was lost? A fact of history, which you no longer study in public school. The fact of history is that our militia ran from the British army in the first two encounters. Why? These were farmers with pitchforks facing the finest army
[00:15:06] in the world, the British. People were calling for George Washington to be fired. They said his tactics and his leadership and his ability to lead are inadequate to form this nation.
[00:15:21] a large part of his volunteer army would have to go home on January the 1st and this was Christmas week because they had only signed to work until to fight until January 1st America was facing a
[00:15:42] national disaster Washington knew that if he did not do something to win this war right now come spring that his officers and himself would be hung as traitors by King George.
[00:15:57] So what did he do?
[00:15:59] He prayed.
[00:16:03] George Washington was renewed and energized by the power of God.
[00:16:09] He shook off that stinging criticism that tried to crush him.
[00:16:14] fear and pessimism gave way to faith and divine assurance that he was going to be successful George Washington and his troops were hungry many did not have shoes they were marching through the snow and they crossed the Delaware River
[00:16:32] they attacked the enemy they were all Hessians that means they were German military forces that had been hired by the British to fight the colonies They found the Hessians and they won that fight in a matter of minutes
[00:16:47] Victory or death The word victory reigned throughout the colonies The fight and fury of the American dream was born on a snow-covered battlefield When one man dared to pray It may not be the political thing people want to hear
[00:17:07] But the secret of America's survival is prayer Prayer from God's people The Bible says, listen, one can chase a thousand.
[00:17:17] Two can chase 10,000.
[00:17:19] That's in the Bible.
[00:17:20] That's not my word.
[00:17:22] Saints of the living God, America and Israel are under fire.
[00:17:26] Our future hangs in the balance.
[00:17:29] The victory is going to be won in the supernatural.
[00:17:32] Walk out onto the battlefield of prayer.
[00:17:35] Open fire and let God arise and let his enemies be scattered.
[00:17:40] Psalm 75, 6 and 7 David writes For promotion comes not from the east Or from the west Not from the south Or from the north But God is the judge He puts one down And he sets another up
[00:18:06] Who does that?
[00:18:10] God Who promotes to the White House?
[00:18:14] God Who promotes to Congress?
[00:18:18] God who promotes to the Supreme Court? God. America's not in the hands of Washington, D.C.
[00:18:25] God is saying to the church, what's your pleasure? Then make it known to me in prayer, command ye me. That's God talking to you and you and you and me. He's saying, command ye me,
[00:18:41] ask and you shall receive it. Give the Lord praise in the house. Here's God's battle cry.
[00:18:55] If my people, hopefully that's us, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, then will I hear from heaven and I will heal their land.
[00:19:09] You will not hear that in the halls of Congress in America.
[00:19:13] The story of Belshazzar in Daniel 5 fits here.
[00:19:18] Belshazzar of Babylon was having a massive government gala with a thousand of his political friends.
[00:19:25] This was in ancient America This is in the Bible by the way They were mocking the God of Israel While they were having this great banquet And mocking the God of Israel The finger of a man's hand
[00:19:42] Began to write in the plaster of the wall It shook everybody in the room Daniel 5 and 6 said Then the king's countenance was changed And his thoughts troubled him so that his joints were loosed and his knee and his knees smote one against the other
[00:20:03] he was so afraid his knees were bouncing together the translation God scared the devil out of him so they call for Daniel why because they said the spirit of God is in him Daniel walked into
[00:20:22] the palace and the banquet hall and he gave the interpretation which took courage. He lived in a kingdom where people were killed for speaking the truth. Daniel announced to that cadre of 1,000 half-drunk politicians, God said, your kingdom is finished. Two, you have been weighed in the
[00:20:45] balances of God and found wanting. Three, your kingdom will be divided between the medes and the Persians. And he walked out. That night, the Persians reversed the tides of the river and came under the massive walls of Babylon. And the king was killed that night. And they had a
[00:21:09] new ruler the next morning. That's when God answers prayer like lightning. Look at the control here.
[00:21:18] look at the control here who said Belshazzar was finished God who weighed his kingdom in a balance God who divided his kingdom God who was an absolute surrender for all the time God why did God get involved
[00:21:37] because Daniel prayed three times a day he was willing to be thrown to the lions rather than to stop praying now get this what was the result this Persian king he was a pagan he gave the Jews the money
[00:22:03] the materials and the manpower to go back to Jerusalem and repair the walls of Jerusalem it was a massive construction job it cost millions of dollars to do and a pagan king gave every dime
[00:22:21] to get that done you know why we get the rulers we have because God's children don't vote.
[00:22:29] They either don't vote or they vote for ungodly people with no character and no integrity because they're too lazy to find out what that person believes.
[00:22:40] Let me give you a clue.
[00:22:42] Vote the Bible.
[00:22:52] Consider the story of King Hezekiah who was attacked by Sennacherib.
[00:22:56] Watch the story.
[00:22:57] The massive armies of Assyria had surrounding Jerusalem The brilliant flags of the Assyrian army rippled in the breeze.
[00:23:05] The Assyrian general, Sennacherib, mocked the God of Israel in a letter.
[00:23:12] He sent the letter to Hezekiah and said, your God cannot deliver you.
[00:23:16] If I give you 2,000 horses, can you put 2,000 men on those horses so we can have some sport while we're killing you?
[00:23:25] How's that?
[00:23:30] This king said to the people of Israel, your men will eat their own dung and drink their own urine.
[00:23:36] How many of you see that as sarcastic?
[00:23:40] Yeah.
[00:23:42] Hezekiah spread that letter out before God and he prayed, God, look what this heathen has written to me.
[00:23:51] God replied, for I will defend this city.
[00:23:54] The sun set and the evening campfires of the Assyrian army glowed in the black of the night.
[00:24:01] Then it happened.
[00:24:02] The sun set and the campfire simmered in the darkness.
[00:24:06] The prayer power of one man exploded on the battlefield.
[00:24:11] It was an invasion from outer space.
[00:24:13] The angel of the Lord walked through the camp of those who mocked the God of Israel.
[00:24:19] He smote the generals in their tents.
[00:24:22] He smote the centurions in their post.
[00:24:24] He smote the officers as they rehearsed their battle plans.
[00:24:28] Suddenly and swiftly, the angel of the Lord moved through the camp, leaving 185,000 dead Assyrians in that camp.
[00:24:45] Why?
[00:24:46] Because one man dared to pray, and God destroyed the most powerful army on the face of the earth in one night.
[00:24:57] That's power.
[00:24:59] One man's prayer shaped world history.
[00:25:03] It's in this book. I believe the prayers of one church can change the destiny of a nation.
[00:25:19] I want you to start praying for a supernatural breakthrough in this nation where the Word of God is preached and practiced, and God Almighty releases His supernatural power to liberate the United States of America from the spirit of communism and socialism and anti-Semitism
[00:25:40] and everything that divides us.
[00:25:42] Bring us together by the power of the Holy Spirit.
