The Reason America Is Going To Survive

Intro: Welcome to the Lance Wallnau Show. Lance is broadcasting from one of his most recent events. You are going to be blessed and blown away by this teaching. Take it away, Lance. 

Lance: Peter just got told, interesting. Jesus, Jesus can tell you how you’re going to die as a martyr and it’s actually edifying. It’s a little about the Lord. He has a way of exhorting you and giving you bad news. You’re actually happy about it. That’s like Andrew’s prescription for stage four cancer is first of all, if you’re going to die, huh? Hallelujah. Which is an interesting point because there’s this book I got which is called Paradise Something of the Redeemed. I have this wild book. It’s a book of visions of heaven and this book of stories and I guess I got it from an end-time handmaidens or somebody but it’s a fascinating book.

Sometimes those unusual books that never became national bestsellers are the best because they’re written by Pentecostals that only Pentecostals can interpret. But I read that book and I got so fascinated with heaven. I started reading about the activities going on. This person, what they were experiencing and what it was like when I got there and all that stuff is like, whoa, this is wild. So, the interesting thing came up, I don’t know if I was talking to Andrew or somebody but I was talking to somebody about how the moment that they started studying heaven and the next life and got faith for it and got begin to enjoy it, begin to look forward to it like Paul. Like Paul said, it is better for me to go but for your sake, I’ll stick around. So, if it’s Better to go. In other words, if this is your vacation spot you get to go to, then you’re happy to go on your vacation.But I’ll stay here in the office and just keep grinding out for your sake.

So, anyway, I’m reading this and I’m thinking, you know what? A lot of people’s battle to get well is a fear of dying. But if they actually got excited about going to heaven, in many cases, it eradicates the number one hindrance to the healing which is the fear attached to not getting healed. And a moment the fear is removed, it may create an easier receptor for the grace to be able to bring you over the healing line. So just think about that. And I think we have to think about that way that way too. We’re all nervous nail biters about what’s coming to America. It’s like, oh my God. Oh my God. Everybody’s all upset.

Well, here’s the thing. What if I was to tell you that as the shaking and the breaking happens, remember this, God is laying siege to the gates of hell at the top of these mountains and he’s removing the idolatrous powers of those institutions. If you have that paradigm, then you don’t freak out with the news cycle. Secondly, what if I was to tell you that proportionate with the shaking and the breaking that’s happening in America? God is liberating the actual old glory that we put here with a new glory upon it to preserve America and that God‘s breaking down the American arrogance and confidence in its own strength in order to release the strength of Godand his people. None of you guys are applauding over here. Are you mad at me?

I got one pocket of enthusiasts over here and everybody’s like, well, I don’t know yet, but oh, it’s alright. It’s alright. It’s alright. It’s okay. It’s okay. But what if the spirit of God is coming down and the outpouring is going to happen proportionate to the shaking. The shaking produces a greater glory. The shaking liberates for us from structures that are trying to inhibit us. Anyway,so Jesus gives Peter his word here truly when you were young, you went wherever you wanted to go you’re girded yourself and wherever you want. When you grow old, you’re going to stretch out your hands and someone else is going to take, you bring you where you do not wish to go.

Well, evidently Peter wasn’t looking forward to his execution, but that word gave him encouragement. Why? This he said signifying by what kind of death Peter would glorify God. So he could, see here’s the thing. Whatever bad news you have, the good news is so powerful, all you have to do is get heaven’s perspective on it and the bad news becomes good news. Even you don’t have to go into the shallow end of the faith pool and just make everything is all going to be good all the confessions can be bad. No, like every now I think about Jeremiah comes out with a word. His country didn’t walk. It’s in the Bible. He was a word of faith preacher. They just didn’t like his word.

Not every word that comes out of a prophet’s mouth has to be blessed and positive for you. You just have to have a divine discerning as to what God‘s doing so that you can see how you’re going to glorify God in the midst of it. Then, it all shifts around. Does that make sense? But I love this line. Jesus says to him, follow me. Don’t be distracted by the executions. Don’t be distracted by Nero’s craziness. Don’t be distracted by Roman politics. You keep your eye on the ball and I’m the ball. Follow me.

Well, I love this thing here. It says something about the affectionate freedom that this company had with the Messiah, the resurrected king of the universe walking among them for 40 days. You’d think they’d be like standing in trepidation not wanting to say the wrong thing. Peter’s just like so comfortable with Jesus. He turns around. He sees John, his roommate. He goes, hey, hey, hey, what about him? This is like somebody, it’s a prophecy and it’s like, hey, bring your buddy over here. What about him? And it’s like they want to hear the next word. It’s like, what about John? He wants to get the dirt on John. He wants to know what John. You’re like, wow, what’s going to happen to John? How’s John going to die? Look, it’s gonna be interesting conversation.

Peter turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following them. I love how John’s writing the narrative here and he points out that Peter turned around and saw that very special disciple. That one who is particularly close to the Messiah, the one who had leaned back on his bosom at the last supper. He even goes on to give a description. The one who and the Lord, who is the one who betrays you? I’m the one he reveals those things to and so Peter seeing him said, ‘Jesus, Lord, what about this man?’ Jesus says to him, ‘If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?’ You follow me.

Now, this is an important point. If I want Donald Trump to be president, what business is that of yours? Cast your vote and do your thing. You follow me. You’re not going to be held accountable at the judgement seat for election reform. You’re not going to be held accountable for ballot counting. You do your due diligence. You do what God calls you to do when he calls you to do it.But you see, if you follow Jesus, you will do vastly more damage to the gates of hell in your assignment here in Oklahoma, then, bringing your hands and hovering over YouTube prophecies to go see what’s going to happen in America. You’ll get a bigger reward for doing what Godcalled you to do, then maybe even becoming a political activist like I’m trying to get you to do. Be careful about following me.

Although, I do think I have the mind of the Lord on this, but you understand what I’m saying? Because some Christians are so obsessed about this stuff that all they can do is Donald Trump come back and the Lord said to me, he didn’t tell me what’s going to happen with Donald Trump. I’m on his advisory. I don’t even know. All I can tell you is this, you can tell them this, he doesn’t want to come back now. We think it’s going to come back. Not if he has anything to do with it. Do you know why? Because he said, when he comes back, he wants four years to fix the mess, not two. So, he’s not even trying to get back there now.

So America’s obviously under divine discipline. That needs to be the update. But there’s a difference between discipline and judgement. There’s a judgement under death. But then there’s a discipline. The Bible says in first John, pray for this. If it’s not a sickness under death, then praise you can be healed. This isn’t meant to be a sickness under death for America. It’s meant to be a sickness under repentance. The nation is ill. And the church is the physician. And if the physician isn’t doing its job, then guess what? God now has a problem with the doctors.

Break: With the instability happening in the market right now and with inflation going up at the dollar and it’s like seems to be like in its free fall. We’re watching the stock market make some terrible reckoning adjustments. And where are people going? Well, when cash is unstable people put their money in a store of value. Gold and silver and precious metals. What I didn’t know till recently and I should have known it is that you can take your 401K and you can actually convert it and put it into an account that has silver and gold. That means that your 401(k) retirement savings is going to be in silver and gold so as the dollar starts to get unstable or decline, your gold and silver value is guarding your retirement.

Now, this is the tax exempt strategy that Birch Gold can advise you on. You want to go to “Lancewallnau.com/birch”. Talk to one of their consultants. Download the report and learn how you can convert a 401(k) or your retirement plan into. Gold and silver. Accounts secure and protect your money and have peace of mind. “Lancewallnau.com/birch”. Download the report. Talk to the consultant. There’s no obligation. That’s what I’m recommending people do.

Lance: The name of this is Encounter, right. It’s Encounter. Well, the encounter is with the Word of God. I mean, I’ve seen so many great healings happening. I’ve seen people get filled with the Holy Ghost speaking in tongues. Wonderful. I’ve seen some people sneaking in here God saved before they left. Wonderful, wonderful. But you know what? The encounter God wants to have,he wants to have it with you so that you can have it with transforming a city. Oklahoma City needs the encounter and if you want to have a bigger encounter, you got to join God in his building project.

First night, I labored extensively probably confusingly. I said, Here’s the timeline. Prophets prophesied, Cyrus was coming. Cyrus came and Cyrus went. When Cyrus was there, he said, go build my house in Jerusalem. The Word of the Lord is, you Jews, go back, build the house. Only 40,000 went on the building project God wanted to do. You know one of the best, one of the smartest thing. I’ve never forget anything Andrew tells me every now and then he’ll give me an insight on something. But he said, he was talking to me about in terms of media. Because I was kind of like I’m still kind of get my head wrapped around it. We got a pretty big audience, but he said to me something he said, you have to actually get out there and get your message out there because most people are carnal. They’re not being led by God. So, they’re not hearing God say, go find this guy named Lance Wallnau. You have to actually put yourself out there so they trip over you. Remember that?

Most people are in the flesh. Christians too. They’re not being spiritually minded. They’re carnally minded. So, they’re not here in the Lord. So, they’re not going to find you unless you get out there and let them know where you are. Well, it’s an interesting thought about that. So, we’re going to have to actually put ourselves out there and we’re going to have to make ourselves known and I believe that the encounter for Oklahoma City is going to, or the encounter for wherever you’re from is going to begin when you actually go back home and say, what is Godbuilding?

Now, here’s what I taught the first night. Don’t want to lose it all but I said, here’s the sequence. God gave us, remember this correctly. God gave us the Cyrus and I wrote my book here. I said, I’m concerned that the church did not respond during the 4 years of this man the way they ought to. We should have seen it as an interruption of a divine discipline on America for the purpose of recovering. And the church really didn’t know what to do. They really didn’t. They liked him. They didn’t like him. Most people went back around doing their business and commenting on his tweets. We should have seen the threat that was coming and moved forcefully and Unity, but we didn’t. so, Cyrus came, Cyrus went and now what we’ve got is but what did Cyrus do when he was here? 40,000 Jews. 40,000 Jews went to Jerusalem to go do what God told him to do.

After 70 years, the prophet said, ‘Go back and rebuild the temple. Rebuild the supernatural community of God as a testimony to the nations.’ How many did it? Only a remnant. This is what the Bible says, 40,000 tells you how many. Where was the rest of them? They were comfortable in the previous move. The previous move was an adjustment to get them into Babylon which is now run by Cyrus and they were all still in the old move. The new move was,go back to Jerusalem and give me a supernatural house.

Now, do you understand the reason why Haman rose up? Why the government was getting hostile? This is the wisdom of God. Do you think about it? Because all the Jews that stayed behind now had to deal with the threat that was destroy coming to destroy them because they weren’t where they were supposed to be in the first place. Let me say that again. God said, go back and give me a house. Well, a whole bunch of Jews stayed behind. They were in Persia and they kind of liked. Cyrus was a great president. He’d ended terrorism. He ended wars. He gave domestic tranquility. He uprooted terrorism. He knocked out Isis. He put energy back out there. There were no attacks for foreign powers and all these Jews were so comfortable. Why would they want to go into the ugly territory of the broken down areas the church had left behind, and go fight for restoring and building what was lost? They were happy snuggled in there under Cyrus’ rule.

Well, Cyrus was gone. Along comes Xerxes. Xerxes likes Haman. Xerxes has no history with the people of God. Xerxes gives his signet ring over to a government official. Who decides there’s going to be quarantining, shutdowns of churches, forced vaccinations, passports, and if you don’t submit to what the government says, you’re in open rebellion. Mordecai stood up and said, I’m not going to do it and Haman said, I’m going to kill all those. Christians are going to take away all of their religious freedoms because they’re rebellious people that don’t won’t get with the new world order.

See how this thing is set up? Mordecai didn’t bow because evidently there was a of whole bunch of Jews that did. Mordecai didn’t, and so he became the lightning rod to the persecution. The persecution came all the way to the king. The king authorized the persecution and that was Haman’s plot to destroy and kill all of those Christians, all those Jews. But my point to you and I want you to lose it. They shouldn’t have been there in the first place. So God was using, if you don’t mind me saying so, overruling even the animus and hostility of the devil to serve the purpose of a wakeup call to his people to get on board with the move of God that God was in.The interpretation of those tongues for those of you that missed it is, even the persecution coming against us in America is God‘s instrument to get us into the assignment he wants the church on anyway.

You people still aren’t cheering over here and I don’t know what’s wrong with you. So, what is the house? I labored over that chapter in this book for the longest time. 2 weeks, I held up the publisher. I said, I don’t have a revelation yet. One of those tormenting things God kept telling me, build my house. I don’t even understand. I pastored for 20 years. Thought he thought I was building a house of God when I was building a church. Then, the Lord called me out to go 7-Mountain talking and Trumpizing and media stuff. I don’t understand that. I thought building a house, building a church.

Now, I’m coming to a revelation now. The house of God is the community of the saints coming into unity where the Holy Ghost is in the midst of them being led by the spirit doing what Godwants them to do and it’s a house of God assembled in a territory. You’re the house of God and I feel the anointing is landing over there right now. Hallelujah. So, the supernatural house is being built. By the way, you know that I am now one of the faculty over at the Caris Bible School where the leadership programs are coming out. So, if you don’t like what I’m saying, you’re not going to get rid of me. I’m going to be right there too. God‘s building the supernatural house.

Break: What’s happening with Putin and Ukraine is actually having an effect not directly on our energy the way Biden says. But it is having an effect on food, because so much of the wheat that comes into Europe and into the Middle East and in the United States comes out of Ukraine. And so much of the fertilizer that we need comes from that region as well. And so farmers aren’t going to be using fertilizer. And that means that the crops aren’t going to be there. That’s when Joe Biden says that there really is going to be some food shortage. I mean that’ll make you worry, because these guys very seldom tell you the truth. So what we’re doing right now is we’re really doubling down and making sure that we have an adequate supply of food for our family. A 3-month supply and I’m taking $150 off of that three month emergency supply right now at My Patriots.

So go to “Lancewallnau.com/patriot” and do what my family’s doing. We’re getting a 3–month supply. We’re preparing ourself. We’re saving $150 now. And we’re getting the variety of breakfast, lunch, dinners, drinks, snacks, the everything is like a 2,000 calorie a day account. And I’m even looking at this honey powder they got. This stuff last 25 years, but you can sprinkle some of that honey powder on because even for the desserts, I like to make them a little sweet. But anyway, go to “Lancewallnau.com/patriot” and do what we’re doing. Give yourself peace of mind and prepare for the future. The wise man sees trouble, Bible says and prepares.

Lance: Now, once the house God gets is happening, once we got involved with the building project God wanted, the Bible says the remnant had an awakening. We’re all praying about an awakening. The word awakening in Haggai is used only where it refers to the remnant that repented of doing their own thing and began to unify around what God‘s thing was in their city. And when the church gets together around what God wants to do in the city, that’s when the awakening will hit that city.

Now, till then, you could be in revival because revival is personal. Awakening happens when the culture around you is impacted by your personal revival. Reformation happens when the awakening is so severe, it alters and removes the devils that are controlling the high places. We’re not after a revival. You can have a revival and still suffer terribly. We’re after reformation because reformation goes after the education. He goes after the doctrine that’s being taught and the perversions that are being propagated in high places and it ain’t going to be pretty. However, the house of God‘s building is the building project that God‘s in. So, God used the persecution to get the church the Israelites to wake up and eventually they began moving back in doing what God wanted to do.

The next stage after that is the Nehemiah stage. What did he do? He rebuilt the walls and the gates. See, this stage here, the nation’s boundaries, bleeding boundaries. We still can’t control our border. It’s a prophetic sign that America no longer has self-government. It’s being governed by lawlessness. You don’t have to accept it. You can war against it. But the restoration of our boundaries, the restoration of our gates of influence, that’s the Nehemiah Project. Nehemiah followed Zerubbabel and Haggai and those chapters. The sequence was, I told you like the other night, the sequence there is the sequence now.

God says, ‘I’ll give you political rulers for my purposes but my purposes need to be done during the period of those rulers. And if you don’t, well, Plan B is we’ll make it uncomfortable not to.’In Haggai, what do you think it was that got the Jews attention in Jerusalem? They were all working on their own houses. They were doing the same thing down there that the brothers were doing up in Persia. They were increasing the blessing on their life and the Lord cut off the blessing flow. He said, ‘Well, I guess we’re just going to have to put a little squeeze on the economy here to get your attention.’ That’s what God‘s doing with America right now. He’s judging all of our idols.

Now, for the people of God that are involved with God‘s building project, here’s the Lord said, the prophet said, ‘Now, that you’re focused on what I’m doing from this day forward, I will bless you.’ And so God made a covenant promise to prosper the people involved with his building project. So, the secret to surviving the economic chaos that is coming is to be clear about the assignment God‘s got you involved with because that boat will float. The provision will be there. So much so the Lord said, ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine. Don’t worry about the economic shaking.’ Why would God say silver is mine and gold’s mine? Because telling his people, you get involved with the glorious thing that I’m doing and I’ve got the economy that you need.

They built the walls and the gates and once they built the walls and the gates, they had a nation, a city that Jesus could ride into. And there’s going to be a great manifestation and powerful shaking is happening. Once this work in Oklahoma is done, the house of God coming together. You need to be focusing on what are the problems in your own city where the walls have collapsed and the gates need to be restored. As you’re involved with this phase, the house and the Nehemiah phase, the walls and the gates, Jesus will send revival and awakening to your city. Does that make sense?

Now, I know it takes a moment to process this. This is my whole book, the Chaos Code, a code is a sequence. Go left. It’s like a safe cracker. Right. Go left. Right. Poop. You open the vault. We all want Jesus to come into our city. Well, he’s saying, okay, I want a glorious house. I want a glorious. By the way, the glorious house is made up of a bit of all of you that are here right now. God just loves that diversity because Israel was made up of 12 tribes and they weren’t all the same tribe but they all came together as one nation. Does that make sense to you?

So, here’s what I want to do in concluding. We’re at the stage now where the Lord is saying, if you get involved with my project, then even all the shaking that’s happening in America can shake out to your benefit. Because you know what happens when they’re shaking? Obstacles are removed. The book of Hebrews says that everything must be shaken that can’t be shaken or that those things that cannot be shaken remain. That means that God‘s going to shake those things that aren’t based on and built on his principles or his words. So, you want to be able to look at this. Here’s where I want to go now. What would it be like if we were to just gather our hearts together, and say, alright, alright.

Now, if you want to know where the where this is where my sermon was supposed to go, I’m going to tell you. I was going to go to Romans chapter 1 verse 10. Paul says, “Pray that I have a prosperous journey to Rome.” Because we all want to have a prosperous journey. But he gets on board a ship, that doesn’t listen to his advice. He says, with Donald Trump, you’ve got a great economy. You’ve got no wars. The whole world’s afraid of what he might do and he likes it that way. China’s being nice. Russia’s trying to smile. Iran will come to the table and negotiate a better deal. They can’t last another 6 months with what you’re doing, they’re going to forget their nuclear deal. Instead of us right now giving them a nuclear weapon.

At the Abraham Accord, the Middle East never had more peace. Just stay with what’s working but oh no. That law of spirit had to go and steal, kill, and destroy. I think it must be so strong in America that the Lord said, okay, have it your way. You don’t like my plan? Let’s see how yours works. The apostle Paul and Luke and his small entourage. I always feel sorry for the people hanging out with Paul. They’re in all the traumas he’s in. Paul says, man, I just got a word last night. This is going to be a tough one. I perceive sirs, he goes right up to the captain of the ship, the owner of the ship, the centurion of the government guy in charge of all the prisoners. He says, I perceive That this void is going to be dangerous. It’s going to be not only loss of cargo and economic devastation, but it’s going to be the breaking up of this vessel and possibly the loss of all of our lives.

Stay in the port God put you in. But they got together and had a vote. It says. And their strange process prevailed. The owner of the ship, Captain Centurion, they said, this fanatical Jew you got on board here. Who is he? Oh, he’s on his way to Rome for a trial. What do you think? I said, let’s get the heck out of here and go to the better port over there. Alright. I read an agreement. Alright, let’s go. Boom. They took off. At that moment, they set sail out of the will of God. The problem was, God‘s unfulfilled prophetic destiny was on board the ship because Paul has a word from Jesus before he gets on the ship And the word wasn’t and this is how you will glorify me in your death, you will drown for me in Jesus name.

Acts 23:11, the Lord stood near him in Jerusalem said, be encouraged Paul just as you born witness here in Jerusalem. So shall you bring a testimony before them in Rome. Notice that when God has a prophetic purpose for you, you know God has a prophetic purpose for you when the devil tries to kill you. So, Peter got that word. When you’re old, you’ll stretch out your hands. They’re going to take you where you want to go. Well, maybe that’s how come he was sleeping. He wasn’t so distressed when they had him chained to four soldiers and the next day he was about to be brought out before Herod and executed. He had that word from Jesus when you’re old. He’s like 35 and this is happening now. It’s like well, the church is wrestling all night in prayer and Peter’s sleeping. Sleeping so deeply, the angel had to actually get frustrated with him. Kick them. Come on. Get up, will you? Trying to do a prison break here and you’re snoring away. Not like jittery, it’s just like. And Peter, God bless him. Spiritual man that he is. He had visions that were so real. He thought he was just in a vision. I see an angel waking me up. He didn’t realize it was actually happening. The angel goes, put your shoes on. Put your sandals on, will you? How about, that angel had a quite a job to do working with him.

So, Peter’s like, in the vision, I’m putting my sandals on. Because it says it didn’t occur to him that it wasn’t a vision till he actually the gate opens and closes behind him. It’s like, oop, it’s like comes to his awareness. Oh my God, this is actually happening. Oh, the devil tried to kill him but his prophetic purpose wasn’t fulfilled and if you don’t mind the little Jewish humor on this, see, he couldn’t die under Herod because he had to die under Nero. Paul couldn’t drown, because he had to get beheaded. Okay. See, that’s Jewish humor. But it’s in the right time and how you glorify God. That’s the main thing. At the end of a victorious life. They take off on the journey.

Now, listen to me. This is right there in the Bible. Paul writes to Romans. He said to the Romans, he said, pray I have a prosperous journey. You should see the prosperous journey Paul had. They’re taking off at the wrong time, going in the wrong direction just like America but you see, the prophetic word on Paul was you got to be a witness for me in Rome. And I’m telling you something, the unfulfilled prophetic word on America and the American Christian is what’s going to help us survive the breakup. The ship goes off and sure enough, it gets caught in this 3-way cyclone. They can’t possibly get to where they want to go. They’re driven without daylight,with storm and they’re throwing the cargo over the economy is going. The thing is and it’s after days of fasting. Paul had to go to war to make sure that the prophetic purpose is going to be fulfilled. He wasn’t just casual. He’s praying and then he gets the breakthrough. The angel comes to him and says, ‘Paul, you are going to go to Rome and God is giving to you all them that are sailing with you.’

Notice the change. He was sailing with them until everything was lost. Now, they’re sailing with him because his unfulfilled destiny is saving their butts. Gods got to spare them so he gets spared. So Paul goes up and they’re listen, they’re rocking and they’re distressed and they’re buking. The ship’s still tough and he says, be of good cheer because the Lord just appeared to me the other night and the Lord of my who I serve and his angel said to me that, we’re all going to make it. We’re going to make it. So, get some food. Be encouraged because this whole thing’s going to break up here on some island somewhere. So as far as I got was there’s an island. It’s going to be okay. That’s all he got.

He get a whole lodges an island out there somewhere and sure enough they go out there but something happened on that trip. Paul’s disposition his leadership his strength was such that the centurion the guy in government saw him as an asset. We must position the church so that local government in Oklahoma City and in your city and your State don’t see you as the eccentric non-conformist with weird religious taboos but they see you as an asset that’s providing anencouragement and direction during the crisis. Because when the ship was about to break up and they had to let all the prisoners go, they were going to kill all the prisoners because Rome’s rules was this. If one prisoner escapes, you die and take the place of that prisoner.

Well, nobody in that ship was willing to die for those prisoners including Paul who just they think is a nice guy, but they’re going to kill him. The centurion wanting to save Paul’s life wouldn’t let them do it. The government isn’t always your enemy Your job is to make the government your friend. So, when they land on that island, you know the story. The story is that everybody’s gathering up sticks and they’re trying to create a fire and Paul gets bit by a viper. Now, this is like this poor guy. This is an interesting life he’s got. He helps him survive a shipwreck. He’s being he’s modeling apostolic servanthood. It’s freezing cold. It’s wet. He’s out there gathering up sticks to go put in a fire. Doing a practical thing to go serve. He’s just saying, ‘I’m the apostle Paul. I’ll intercede while you do those things.’ He’s our gathering stick.

A viper comes out because of the heat and fastens on his hand. What does it tell you? Just a simple spiritual principle. The moment you invade new territory, the devil will manifest in order to attack you because you are anointed to cast him out. So, I’m telling you this for a reason,because the Lord told me, do not fear negative media. For negative media will put you on the map. I thought, oh that’s strange. He took me to this story because when Paul got bit by the viper, everyone on the island is watching this crazy crew come in from a shipwreck. They’re saying, man, are they lucky? Are they ever lucky? They just smashed up right here. They’re swimming on board and boards and stuff. They’re coming up and then they’re watching them. They’re watching Paul. They’re watching these guys start a fight. Just watching them. The natives are trying to figure out they’re good, they’re bad, they’re Romans. I don’t know. It’s going to be okay with us and then they watch that snake, the most venomous snake. Land on the arm of that one scrawny Jew. Paul shakes it off and it goes into the fire.

Now they’re walking parallel with it because they’re waiting for him to suddenly stop. His tongue to stick out of his mouth. The white froth to show up. His body start to bloat because that is the most venomous snake they have and they’re saying to each other, is this guy cursed or what? It’s like he survives a shipwreck and gets bit by our worst snake. This is like surviving a plane crash and getting run over by the ambulance. This guy is cursed. That’s what it says, but then when they notice, it has no effect. Paul’s looking and realizing, oh I’ve seen this before. Hi, guys. He’s got a little audience here. Now, they change their mind and the word in Greek is fascinating. It means the alchemy of their thinking shifted and suddenly, they’re saying, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a second. This is no normal guy. That guy is like supernatural and the word get out. They got some guy there that’s like supernatural.

That word gets to the governor of the island whose father-in-law is sick. His father’s laying sick of a bloody flux. Paul goes in, prays for him. He’s supernaturally healed. They have a healing revival. An evangelism crusade. They plant the church in Malta and he’s got 270 souls that were on board that ship all watching and listening politely unless the natives kill them. When the time comes to go back, they got a new ship built. Paul’s on board fulfilling his destiny. God will make the devil pay for what he did to America.

Malta was not in the original blueprint, but God does things like this. If the devil hits you, if you’ll stay in the perseverance of faith in the midst of the contradiction, God will add Malta to your inheritance. God overrules the folly of men in order to glorify himself. That’s the story for America. Malta is here in your city. This is where you have to demonstrate the goodness of God. The ship estate has its own battle. We’re on board the ship that’s why it’ll eventually make it, but it’s going to come down to a demonstration sheep nations, sheep states.
