following program is sponsored by seattle open door church seattle open door church is committed to loving god loving people and loving life our doors are open to whomever no masks required seattle open door church is located in downtown bierria next to the southwest courthouse welcome to their roots so your host for there is hope is richard over the senior pastor of seattle open door church in  may need to do is speak out we should speak out we should speak out against was taking place when our freedoms are being taken away we should take a stand i believe that we have the right to bear arms in america i believe as a christian we have a right to bear arms in america we should say you're not taking that right away it's the second amendment you're not taking that right away as christians there are christians who died so we had that right but i think what we need to do is then what we need to do is build a militia and we should go around and we start killing all the government entities that turn around that take our rights away what do you think you think i believe that up the not kill so i don't believe as a christian i should do that and but there's a balance there someplace and so we got to speak out for where but what should we not speak out truth i didn't i am i'm adamant about america because i want my freedom to preach the gospel freely i'm adamant i want to be that when i do my t v show we can air why some more people can hear the gospel of jesus christ so i will fight for those rights i'll speak out for those rights  everything but i will do it according to the word of god i won't do it with hate i won't do with bitterness i won't do it in a way that doesn't reflect the character of christ because then you miss the whole purpose of what you preach the gospel what else do we have walk in holy this walk in wholeness if we want to pray for america if you want to stand the gaff or america one of these we should do as christians do what we should walk in holiness if we're not walking in a hole is how can we tell the world to be holy if we don't hon marriage in america is christians why should we tell the last that their marriage is wrong because the bible says that i understand them but what about us walking in holiness being the example of what we should be we have what else do we lost my notes or pray for revival pray for revival do you know there is a group of pastors throughout america they've been saying that god has been speaking to all that there needs to be another awakening of the spirit of god i don't know why god told him now you've been telling me that for twenty years we need the move of god we need a revival in the land and so they're all talk about how they can start revival guess what you can't start revival going to behave so we pray for revival we pray for god to revive our nation we pray for god to turn around and wake up our land and that people will come to a saving knowledge of christ that there would be reaped intense in america that there would be a change that takes place in america that people will have a desire to want to honor god to serve god that people want to turn from their wickedness there was a viable in the land in the past in people would walk away from their sin there was a time i talked in our bible study do you think our church that every week somebody else come in the pulpit what do you think next week do you think somebody could is that it can you take the pulpit and then a week after so you take the pulpit and the hundred seven and it was a part of god's holy spirit and you know there was a time when there is a street revival there was a revival going on i was at the house where the zoos of st viable took place what a privilege guess what was just a house it was just a little bit house not the magical about the house it was the spirit of god work in that house but they had the street revival and people were getting filled with the holy spirit and there was miracles taken place there still is taking place and then they add their time they had a movement to a bigger building there was a time that somebody could be right in the pews and they'd come up and they'd start preaching somebody anybody could have possibly happened you know what happened they'd come up they take the pope put in if they start to speak and it was against the word of god god would shut their mouth they couldn't speak any longer that's when god's spirit is in control and the man in control what if we were at a place like that god had total control would have yet at that every time i preached there was conviction of the holy spirit of time i preached there was repentance going every time i preach there was a life that was being changed touched there was somebody else getting saved or somebody else is getting delivered what about that guy's gods was changing guy's lives in such a way that he asked for leaders every single man says i want to be a leader and remain single man says i want to know how i can become a leader in this church because i own what would happen if we all wanted to work together as a team to reach this city that he said when there's men's breakfast it was a man just a viking man but there's women invite him in that they know to come to the men's breakfast what would happen if god's spirit was working in moving and it started working here do you think it couldn't happen to another church another church and happen in our nation if you want to see america to change what we need to do we need to cry out for mercy god we need your mercy god forgive us as a nation god forgive us as a nation that we turn around and say that it's ok for men to marry men and women to marry women to marry women that we say it's ok you know that now in our nation in our country do you know now that they're trying to make it that a failure is not a sin it's not a sick this is not a disease that if you're a pedophile as long as the child consents it's ok so if the child can since it's ok in america in america they're pushing for that and what they argue is that if the child synths and their own up at the age of consent and the age of consent is they understand what's happening that it's ok and they understand that six year olds sometimes understand in america we should be crying out for the mercy of god in our nation but the point is don't give up we shouldn't give up don't give up this sounds hopeless oh my goodness what can we do we don't give up in the last point is really true saved relationship with jesus christ can i say that's the answer to america people say homosexuals they get saved start to follow the g alcoholics drug addicts prideful people people who have eating disorders you could list a list a list a list a list list that if we will preach the gospel of jesus christ and we share the word of god we say here's how you can live victorious life that will change america good people say can we save people we can't say people can god save people how does god say people through us through can we as a church individually is we as a church the body of christ we have a long ways to go when we know somebody in this church has a loved one that's not they and they live here where we could have been fluence on him we should be train our heart cells crying out for that salvation of that soul if we don't do that here i was going to happen any place else where we need to do is find god how can we reach out so pastor and she is going to and it has where you can go to the fairs and ask people about how you get to heaven and and i want to get i want to pull it up but i want to pull up the thread meyers parking lot i want to pull it up to safeway i want to pull up wherever i can and pull that trailer up and i want to sit down with people and i want to talk with barrister to say see an open door church but i want to have that trailer and i want to pull it up and that people come up and that you can share jesus with them and you got something comes up and say what do you do how do you think you get to heaven and share you can share the gospel and i've been wanting to get that trailer by almost got it last year but we didn't have the money we have the money to get the trailers fifteen hundred dollars it would cost us eight thousand dollars to do it ourselves but it cost fifteen hundred dollars if we get one already made i want that trailer desperately because i want some trailer no because it's perfect to be able to share the gospel when the reason god hasn't given the recruit released son is you know why can't a man the trailer kemah get people that will sit in the trailer to share the gospel can you get some of this as i don't know how to do our best i know how to do that i don't do that whatsoever oh i'll teach you how i got this little book and you just open up and you read it who who is not able to read in this church via aaron able to read we're going to pray for god help you to read seven he can read so you open it up and they look on one side one side is for them one side's for you they look at it and you read it do you think you'll get to heaven by check which one can everybody do that can anybody do that maybe you can't can you see the next to the person  can you bring the person to come can after the person accepts christ can you pray with them can somebody do something to maybe make a difference someone's life because i hate to tell you but what we're talking about is the salvation of souls and most people don't care most people don't care we're talking about america do you know that most people i talk to don't care what happens to america most people say it's a big deal because i'm going to be in heaven anyways so if it happens i'll be in  anyways well what about before we get to heaven what about your son your daughter's your granddaughters what do you want them to live in do you want your grandkids to live in a country where they are have their throats slit because you're a christian you really want that i will tell you that almost for sure that's probably going to happen before christ comes so should we speed up the process by doing nothing or use the opportunity have to make a difference i want to look at the pictures real quick here does go to the pictures learn about the candidates you know because a person says or christian doesn't make them a christian and you don't know if you know that the democratic party you don't talk about god whatsoever and the republican party you talk about god so the republican party you talk about god because that's how you can get the votes of the most of the christian and so you as a person says they if you don't know a bible verse you're not a christian because if you're christian got to know at least one bible verse so if you ask the person do you know what your favorite pie or bible verse oh it's a private issue it's private if you're a christian is your religion private that is you don't know christianity doesn't have a christianity teaches christianity teaches we're supposed to be all about our faith not silent about our faith i have a private religious yeah that's what you have a religion you know of relationship with jesus christ who set you free because he set you free you want to talk about it so america go vote what else we need to pray let's pray this pray for america so what can we pray pray every pin for america's second chapter seven verses twelve to fourteen then a lot appear to solomon at night and said to him i've heard your prayer i have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice if i show up to heaven so that there's no rain recommend the locust to devour the land every symptom students among my people and my people were called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from the wicked ways that i will hear from heaven will forgive their sin even heal their land now my eyes will be open my ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place this look at it real quick but the art appeared to s praying at night some of his calling out to god and it says god answers as i have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house for sacrifice when you go to god chose those places where to know who christ is and i want this house to be a house of sacrifice the old way that means we have to sacrifice and i want to be that this is no mary if you want to have an encounter with g s this is where it happens would you not like that to have that happen you got to pray god did who said the dog has to devour the land god did who set the pestis among the people god did every one of those things god their god says if i do this the reason isn't that someone was crying out is because that was apennine that was happening he's crying out to god this happened in america are required out to god and he says if i do this i have a sermon i haven't done it here them but i won't marry some christians to christian want to get married i want to marry him if they're not following jesus christ so out of it is this god's fault and when i say it's god's fault is this what this is a reason because god writes in his word of certain things happen it will bring judgment and his brain judgment he says you christians don't want good and godly marriages then i'll let you have this instead you christians don't want to be outspoken about your faith that all of muslim speak about their fa all let that happen why because judgment will happen because god judges the church first but he says in verse fourteen what's the solution what's the solution to america and my people called bob name are you called by his name are you christians christ followers if my people are called by the name mohamed themselves humble themselves means you be humbly admit that a we got a problem and pray and seek my face and earn from their wicked ways then i'll hear from repentance actually been told some of the things have taken place i think there needs to be repentance less churches that some things took place and can i tell you until there was public repentance and to his public confession the pastors and all the leaders of the past all the deacons all the elders all the pastors the past in the pastor that was under he became the pastor the church is a church was is dead i'm not saying this at a do it this church but that church was dying they asked the pastor come up he always walked down there to look at the different people he says tell me about some of these people and you start hearing stories deacon having sex with one the choir people in the church talk about what the basement was being used for the pastor says no well no way while pastor of this church and this you do one thing and this is public approved confession about what took place in this church you know what they did he walked over he took one of those pictures and threw him in the trash can he says i will not help men who are supposed to be representing up from the pulpit turn around in their turn around having sex outside of marriage have a sex with church members turn around involved in that all these things and they have a role of honor to those minute god bless the church can i tell you that we've had in our country we have a person running for president who is a criminal people call by my name at they will have of themselves it's humble to say things have gone on is that douche will seek my face turn for the wicked ways forgive their saying and heal their land you know what happened that church when they got rid of all those images call them idols they got rid of them all you know what happened they had year year of church services every single night every single night church services people getting saved people  from drugs people that were demonically possessed there getting free there was a lady that was a witch was doing say technique worship she came to the service she had all this this disease on her hand all over her hand and she was worshipping satan and she went to church and and she a somebody a relative got her to go there and she went up front and the pastor prayed for her hand got totally healed in front of everybody she came the next night and took all rich craft now my eyes will be open in my ears a ten of their prayer are from this place god says my eyes will be all up in my ears a bit to have to this place can i take if there's not repent as a listen to me i don't care what's going on in the past in this building i think something went up in this room up really before the service ever starts we should be repenting of it before it ever starts to the bafta words them our eyes will be open ears attend their prayer offered this place i want god to hear our prayers i want to be when we pray on a friday night god hears it mary we walk in holding this we be an example america needs revival lord have mercy never give up most important thing i think is the most loving act we can ever do for someone to share the gospel with them do you believe that those loving act we can do to anybody is share the gospel with them so i'm a put on a song a song is about praying for america and then we'll cl e father god you are great and worthy of praise you have promised to heal our land if we humble ourselves for you and today we do so in a special  christ set us free stand firm and do not let yourselves be burdened again by the yoke of slavery i thank you lord for the liberty and freedom that you have bestowed on united states lift up my president and his staff to you may the holy spirit give them the gifts of both leadership and servitude i pray for them to be encouraged to strengthen the relationship with you also ask your blessing on america's troops serving away from their loved ones and for your comforting hand to be on the families awaiting their safe return and give us the strength to stand with our allies but the will to stand teachers to pray for our leaders and seek your face teaches to pray for repentance as our forefathers did and may we never be a christian nation by mere proclamation but through our actions mercy and compassion amen the lord god we come to you in if we're totally honest we america is made up of we the people so when we talk about america in there america's done or not done that lord god we make up america we the people and lord in the old testament there was the standing of the gap that moses stood in the gap for israel he confessed the sins of israel as if there is and we've asked for your forgiveness lord god that we would stand in the gap for our nation that we stand a gap for the church that i spoke on really a lot of the problems is the body of christ it's the number one problem is the church itself it's us as christians  praise the world and the lord instead of being a light and a testimony that we look more like the darkness than the light i pray for each person that walks out of this room their desk odd how what is it that i can do what is it that i can do to make a difference in this country what can i do to make a difference in this church what can i do to make a difference in the
