come let me get my shoes let me get my shoes I got you sir I got you sir let me get my shoes hold that in your head blood so we got to move to the let me get [Applause] my watch out well going to ask you uh to be merciful to me today at 4:10 a.m. this morning I had my message for the Book of Romans almost done literally been working on it since Friday and getting that together and I kid you not um my sermon title that I was going to teach you out of Romans 10 was titled already by Friday night can you hear this and it was Moses

and Isaiah speaking to the nation of Israel can you hear this can you hear the word of God being spoken to you can you hear this and so today marks the sixth time ever I have worn this colonial preacher’s robe from The Colony Colonial period in light of well yeah well you should know why many of you don’t know why I wear this I wear this in fact guys can you put the this this hangs this hangs just outside that back door right here where I come out of this hangs 247 365 because um I’ll put this on and wear it at times

of tyranny and I’ve done this during uh the passage of very bad laws I’ve done this in times of very very uh terrible things and you might be a little bit surprised uh today to learn how what I believe God teaches why today uh should be proclaimed as a solemn day of prayer and of meditation as to what in the world is going on in our country because friends believe it or not it’s much more serious than what befell Donald Trump yesterday much more serious and woe unto us if we do not recognize that uh with all due respect and I I get

it and I would have done the same thing uh to stand and and raise your fist after being shot uh in this culture that’s a good thing I get that I get it but in my opinion what transpires from that moment to these following hours after this attempted assassination is up to Donald Trump to make a decision he’s got in my opinion a very short window of time to take his Raised Fist and I understand it was in you know we will not be stopped Victory I’m I’m I’m okay and I get it and I agree with that but

I would think that God would want to see the next shot photo shot image shot camera shot the next real would be Trump on his knees with his hands lifted up to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and so church this morning must be unscripted I come to you asking for your grace but I can tell you that my heart is full and before uh you and I do a lot of heavy lifting today we do have it before us I want to read this to you Joel chapter 2 verse2 says now therefore says the Lord turn to me with all your heart with fasting and weeping

and mourning so Rend your heart and not your garments return to the Lord your God for he is great gracious and merciful slow to anger and of great kindness and he relents from doing harm who knows if he will turn and relent and leave a blessing behind him a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God blow the trumpet in Zion consecrate a fast call a sacred assembly gather the people sanctify the congregation assemble the elders gather of the children and the nursing babies let the bridegroom grow go out

from his chamber and the bride from her dressing room let the priest who minister to the Lord weep before the porch of the altar let them say spare your people O Lord and do not give your heritage to reproach that the nation should rule over them why should they say among the Nations where is their god father we pray God today that you would open the ears of America on this day the Sunday following the attempt of this assassination but Lord how symbolic is that our culture has been attempting to assassinate you from our nation for a

long time and Almighty God we look to you we call upon you to move in a way father God that cannot be denied that the righteous would rejoice and be humbled by your movement and that the wicked would be brought low and St and be brought to awe and God all those in power today would find out that they have no power but by almighty God and so father we pray that you would shake this nation to righteous Lord it is evident that we are in our last few moments we are gasping for our breath as a nation and as the world

looks on today to what will America Do America will accomplish nothing unless the church turns to you almighty God so father we pray now in Jesus name and all God’s people said amen you may be seated church family and um going to ask you to read with me you again I I have you be seated because this is going to be a long read but I want you to be listening to this what you’re about to read is thousands and thousands of years old penned by Moses regarding the nation of Israel but that truth applies to Any

Nation to any people I’ll read verse one if you will read the even numbered verses and I say if we can because what we’re about to read is seemingly yanked from either the autopsy report of America or a diagnosis and symptoms of America now it came to pass or now it shall come to pass if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God to observe carefully all his Commandments which I command you today that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth blessed shall you be in the city

and blessed shall you be in the country blessed shall be the fruit of your body the produce of the increase of your cattle The Offspring of flocks blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl and blessed shall you be when you go out the Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways the Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand and he will bless you in the land which the Lord

your God is giving you the Lord will establish you as a holy people to himself just as he sworn to you if you keep the Commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways then all peoples of the Earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord and they shall be afraid of you and the Lord will grant you plenty of goods in the fruit of your body in the increase of your livestock and in the produce of your ground in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you the Lord will open to you his good

treasure the Heavens to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand you shall lend to many nations but you shall not borrow wow verse 13 and the Lord will make you the head and not the tail you shall be above only and not beneath if you heed the Commandments of the Lord your God God which I command you today and are careful to observe them so you shall not turn aside from any of The Words which I command you this day to the right or the left to go after other gods to serve them but it

shall come to pass if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God to observe carefully all his Commandments and his statutes which I command you today that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you cursed shall you be in the city and cursed shall you be in the country Cur cursed shall be your basket and your kneading Bowl curse shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land the increase of your cattle The Offspring of your flocks cursed shall be uh you when you come in and cursed shall you be when
