Living in an anti-christ culture right now. There are lawsuits being
filed all over from the west coast. We want to go in.

You can, they're saying on the west coast, you can't even, if you go
into the building, you can't even sing what we just did today. You can't
even sing inside the church. And they're losing the lawsuits today.

Listen, I believe with all my heart, I believe with all my heart that in
less than five years, our country are going to turn on the church. The
Bible preaching pastor in the pulpit will be seen as hate speech and
will be fined, imprisoned, and even shut down. We're not going to be
shut down folks by a pandemic, but I'm telling you, there is something
coming that God is wanting to prepare us right now for, or we're worried
about trying to find a vaccine.

We've got to get prepared for what's coming down the pike. See this
pandemic is not about a virus. It's about God preparing us for a
persecution.

That's what he's doing. Listen, we don't, we know how to do upper room,
come Holy Spirit, come fire of God. We don't know how to do acts eight
and persecution.

We know how to do upper room and meet in the church, get the choir
singing and call people to an altar, but I'm not really sure we know how
to do acts eight and God is getting ready. The getting the church ready
for a church without the building. Let me say that again.

He's getting into our DNA, how to have church without a building.
