""In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and the Spirit of God hovered over the waters."" "Genesis 1:1-2" "When I was in seminary," "I had a professor take his glasses off one day." "He was cleaning his glasses, and he looked back at the back row where I was sitting, and Dr. Matthew said," ""Don't let us ever forget one thing." "We do not just worship the Father." "We worship the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."" "Like, when that feeling, the presence of the Holy Spirit comes, and the Holy Spirit is God on the Earth, and I'm telling you, for a drug addict to feel that, there's nothing better." "The Holy Spirit, to me... is God's presence here on Earth." "It's the spirit that convicts us... speaks to us, moves us." "There's nothing more fulfilling than having that one-on-one personal relationship with the Spirit." "He's a gift from the Father, and if you ask for bread, He won't give you a stone." "If you really want Him... the Holy Spirit coming on a person's life is the gift of His goodness as a perfect Father." "He will not give you a stone if you ask for bread, and neither will He not give the Holy Spirit to those who ask." "He is the great gift of Heaven." ""Holy Ghost"" "I want to show you something." "Something you've never seen before." "Some say He's dead." "Some say He's silent." "Some say He's a figment of my imagination... but the Holy Spirit is real, and I'm going to prove it." "This is a movie about risk." "I want to take the greatest risk possible as a filmmaker to make a movie that is completely led by the Holy Spirit." "No plan, no safety net." "Just show up wherever He leads me, find the adventure, and make God famous." "Jesus on Earth is Jesus in one place, but when Jesus is no longer present on Earth in his fleshly body," "He is now present in every one of us, and so He's present in us because of the Holy Spirit." "When the Holy Spirit is here, Jesus is here." "In fact, He's called the Spirit of Christ." "He's call the Spirit of Jesus, and so I have Jesus in me." "The main goal of the Holy Spirit is to make Jesus present everywhere." "One of the first things I felt God tell me was to go to Salt Lake City, so I took two friends of mine, Will Hart and Jamie Galloway, to the heart of Mormon country." "We just got off the plane and headed towards the Tabernacle." "One of the first people we met was a 21-year-old kid who admitted that he'd been haunted by dark spirits ever since he and his friends slept in a graveyard." "According to us, we agree that we [...] each other over, and now we're haunted just because we slept in a cemetery, and now we're in different continents, and we're all experiencing stuff on a day-to-day basis." "How would you like that to leave you and never come back?" "In a way, it would be sick because she hates the fact that I have stuff that follows me around the house." "I could do that for you." " Could you?" " Yes." "How so?" "I was a kid that had night terrors so bad, I had to be hospitalized." " Damn, son." " Yeah." " All right." " And then I came to Jesus." "He freed me, and He gave me this special power to help other people be free." "So I could take that away." "What religion are you?" "Just Christian, no religion." " Just Christian?" " Yep." "Christian in a Mormon state, huh?" " How's that working out for you?" " Ironic." "Ironic." "Okay, put your hand out." "Watch." "Holy Spirit, I want you to touch my friend." "Show him you're really real and break him free from all the haunting spirits that have been assigned to his life." "You feel that?" " Watch." " I feel something in my hand." "Double it." "Double it." "Yeah." "Yeah, that's weird." "Holy Ghost, I ask you to send Your power all the way up his arm as a sign of Your love." "Thanks, Jesus." "Feel that?" "My armpit's cold all of a sudden." "Yeah." "Watch." "Double it." "Double it." "More." "Now, Lord, show him it's not my power but it's Your power." "From the top of his head down to the soles of his feet, let that power go through his body right now." "You feel that?" "That's weird, man." "I don't know what to tell you right now." " Isn't that crazy?" " That feels weird." "Now watch." "Put your drink down." "Put your drink down." "Put your other hand out." "Watch, 'cause this is a moment." "This is a moment that..." "I feel like we're about to play that game." "Nope." "No, no." "Watch." "Double it, Lord, more." "That stuff is gonna come off your life." "It's the power of the Holy Spirit." "More, Lord." "You feel that?" " That is weird, dude." " Isn't that crazy?" "Now I'm gonna put my hand, my finger in the middle of your palm, and power's gonna go through your body." "It's not my power." "Lord, show him that it's not my power." "It's not my magic." "It's the power of the Holy Spirit." "In Jesus' name, thanks, Lord." "Man." "What do you think about that?" "I don't know what to tell you right now, dude." " I feel weird." " Yeah, watch." "Double it so much he can barely stand up." "No joke, my nipples got hard." "These things happen." "These things happen." "Watch." "More, Lord, more." "Why are your hands so warm, dude?" "That's weird." " Isn't that crazy?" " That is weird, dude." "I give you that." "It's getting more intense on you." "Isn't that crazy?" "My arms..." "It's all the way up..." " Yeah, it's..." " Yeah." "I don't know what to tell you right now." " Yeah." " It's weird." "I believe Jesus is..." "He's wooing you, dude." "He loves you, man." " I believe that." "I believe that." " Yeah." "Now, I know you're thinking." "This is just a parlor trick, that we're reducing the Holy Spirit to some sort of experiential oddity, but I can assure you, as you will soon see, that the heart of these men is to allow people" "to experience the power and presence of God so that they might enter into a relationship with Him." "I overcame a lot of religious beliefs about Holy Spirit." "That He was a taskmaster." "That He was a control freak." "That He had a lot of chores for me to do." "And I really got to know Holy Spirit, and He's completely the opposite." "He's the most free person in the entire universe." "He's not an it." "He's not some sort of innate substance." "He's not, you know, Star Wars, "the Force is with us."" "It's not that kind of a concept." "In fact, I've been in charismatic meetings where people refer to the Holy Spirit as, like, a blob of power, and they were, like, pretending to throw, you know, blobs of power" "at each other." "I don't think that's the way we should look at the Spirit." "He's not just some kind of blob." "He's not this power, this force." "He is God, but He's God with us." "Of course, as I was soon to discover, there are plenty of fellow Christians who think I am absolutely out of my mind." "At one point, we happened upon a man and his wife who were taking a slightly different approach." "How can Jesus be the devil's brother?" "What nonsense, what heresy, what lies." "And so how do you approach the ministry?" "Well, my approach is to be direct because I believe that's essentially the biblical approach, especially when it's dealing with heresy." "Mormonism is a heresy." "So do you ever, like, pray for, like, Mormons and stuff?" "Well, certainly." "I need praying for, and certainly they need praying for." "How do they typically react when you pray for them, like, on the streets?" "Oh, I see what you mean." "Do I get up to them and...?" " No, no, I don't do that." " Oh, okay." "But, you know, in a general sense, of course I pray for Mormons, yeah." "Okay." "It would be a rather unusual thing to go up to someone and say," ""Can I pray for you?"" "Oh, really?" "Because it's a misuse of prayer, in my opinion, but we must pray for Mormons." "So what's a misuse?" "What does that mean, "it's a misuse of prayer"?" "Well, I mean some people of the charismatic persuasion will go up to somebody and say, "Can I pray for you?"" "They put their hands on them and answer a prayer." "Well, I don't believe that's a biblical approach." "Okay." "I mean, you surely appreciate that in the evangelical world, there are those, such as myself, that believe in the cessation of the gifts, and there are those, the charismatic Pentecostals, who believe in..." "What is cessation of the gifts?" "What does that mean?" "Well, at the time of Pentecost, there was an extraordinary gifting of the Holy Spirit because the Bible was not complete, and it was to authenticate the ministry of the Apostles." "Now, today we don't have apostles." "Cessationists believe that when the Apostles left their earth suits and went to Heaven, the works of the Spirit were over." "I was one of those." "I just believed that none of this stuff ever happened anymore 'cause I didn't see it anywhere, and I really couldn't believe a testimony of someone that went overseas because I was just so skeptical." "I was like, "Yeah, whatever."" "They believe that the Holy Spirit with the early church, the miraculous was a launching pad for the church." "That's what they believe, but that ended." "But Cessationists believe that basically this is just completely illegitimate." "It is not for today." "So let me ask you." " Apostles die." " Yes." " Holy Spirit." " Yes." " He gets sucked back up to Heaven?" " No." " So He's here?" " Yes." "So was it really about men or about God?" " What?" " You know, that these apostles died and suddenly the gifts vanish." "But we have a more sure testimony, namely the Bible." "We don't need signs and wonders when we've got the Bible." "You see, you know, you need to be wary of individuals who claim they can heal people, raise people from the dead, and all this nonsense, because it's spurious." "There is no biblical justification for Cessationist teaching at all." "It just doesn't exist." "Now, here's what they say." "In 1 Corinthians 13," ""When that which is perfect has come, that which is in part should be done away."" "They say that's holy scripture being complete." "That's not what Paul's talking about at all." "He's talking about perfect love, but that's how hard up they are." "They have to go to that verse." "Or the other one is the very end of the book of Revelation, where it says, "If anyone add to these words, his name will be taken out of the book of life."" "Therefore you don't want to add to the book of Revelation, but they would say it's not just the book of Revelation." "Since that's the end of the canon, it means the whole New Testament, and they believe that if you say," ""God has shown you something," you're adding to Revelation." "That's nonsense." "In the history of the church, there are certain times where miracles... and extraordinary events happen." "We shouldn't necessarily expect them today, especially when we have the complete Bible." "Sadly, most people today, evangelicals in the church in the United States, their trinity is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Bible." "I hold that today, speaking generally, there's been a silent divorce in the church between the Word and the Spirit." "Now, when there's a divorce, sometimes the children stay with the mother, sometimes the children stay with the father." "In the present divorce, you've got those on the Word side, those on the Spirit side." "What's the difference?" "Well, take those on the Word side." "The emphasis is, we must earnestly contend for the faith once delivered under the saints." "Get back to expository preaching, know your doctrine, justification by faith, sovereignty of God, and until sound teaching is here, the honor of God's name will not be restored." "What's wrong with that emphasis?" "Well, nothing." "It's exactly right." "Take those on the Spirit side." "What's the message?" "We need to get back to the book of Acts." "Signs, wonders, miracles, gifts of the Spirit." "Get into Peter's shadow, you're healed." "Lie to the Holy Spirit, struck dead." "And until we have that kind of power, the name of God will not be restored." "What's wrong with that emphasis?" "Nothing." "It's exactly right, but the sad thing is that at the moment, both sides are entrenched." "They dig in their heels." "They don't seem to learn from anybody." "They just go on in their own thing." "But I believe were the day to come that the Word and the Spirit come together, the simultaneous combination will result in spontaneous combustion, and it will result in the greatest revival since Pentecost." "We may have disagreed on quite a lot, but in the end, we serve the same God, and deep down, we really desire the same thing." "I would... desire greatly for a visitation of the Holy Spirit in power when I preach, when I speak... as I would desire for any preacher of God's word, in any part of the world." "We need Him, because without His power, the Word is dead." "The word of God, in and of itself, cannot bring life." "We need the quickening spirit of God." "I pray for a visitation like we read about." "That's truth." "That's spirit and truth." "And, Holy Ghost, I just give You permission to be God over this man's ministry." "I pray, Lord, all of our errors, all of our deceptions, that we let go of them in this moment, and we want the truth of Jesus Christ to rule and reign in this man's heart and in every human heart in this city," "and I ask that you would bear witness to the preaching of truth when this man proclaims the supremacy of Christ in the streets." "So we prayed for him and blessed him, then headed across the street with his words that God doesn't speak to or heal people today ringing in our ears." "It didn't take long for the Holy Spirit to make His own statement in response." "Now, Lord, show him it's not magic." "It's not my power." "It's your power, Jesus." "From the top of his head down to the soles of his feet," "I ask you, for Holy Spirit, just to come upon him in power, now." " You feel that?" " Yeah." "What does that feel like?" "I guess when you feel like there's someone behind you" " or something's there." " Yeah." "And you turn around, and you can't see it." " That's what it feels like." " Watch this." "Double it." "Double it." "More." " Isn't that crazy?" " That is pretty cool." "There's been, like, generational fears that you've had to walk through." "Like, I see a courage on your life, but that you've had to really press past, like, fears." "Fears that have, like, tried to hold you back or suppress you." "And I don't mean to get personal, but I see, like, generational fears, like, have held down your family and almost, like, caused a fibromyalgia to come on someone or..." "Is that right?" "Yep, and so somebody has, like, a neck problem, yeah?" "Is that your mother?" "My mother and I." " Your mother and you?" "Okay." " Yeah." "See, and it's even caused breathing problems, like, breathing problems in the night, like, uh, waking up, hard time breathing when you're waking up." " Yeah." " Is that true?" " Yes." " Okay." "And I don't know you." "We just met, okay?" "And I'm not getting fed any lines from anybody." "But I do hear Holy Spirit, and He is speaking to me, and there's something else, though." "Like, I don't know if it was, like, a hernia or something in your stomach area?" "But something that you had to deal with." " Yeah." " Yeah?" "What is that, like, that I'm talking about?" "It was a mass that they found." "Right here?" "It was on my right side, yeah." "See, now, I don't know that stuff, okay?" "But I will tell you this." "Your life is forever changed from this moment." "This is a defining moment for you, and it's not because of me." "It's not because of Will." "It's because the Holy Spirit is pursing you." " Do you have metal in your body?" " I do." " Where?" " In my forearm." "Okay." "Close your eyes." "Do you have restricted movement because of that?" " I do." " Yeah." "Where?" " My wrist." " Cool." "Come on." "This is gonna be amazing." "You're gonna love this." " Are you ready?" " Okay." "We're gonna see movement." " What's that?" " Let's see how bad it is right now." " Yeah." " What can't you...?" "That's my mobility right now, just..." " No, that's as far as it goes." " Okay, you ready?" " Close your eyes, man." " All right." " This is gonna be awesome." " I got a lot of trust in you guys." "Dude, don't worry." "Like, it's gonna be amazing." "I'm gonna ask the Holy Spirit to come, and I'm gonna pray, and we're gonna see this thing." " Are you ready?" " Okay." "Close your eyes, man." "Come, Holy Spirit." "Come, Lord Father, in the name of Jesus." "Lord, Lord, do it." "I ask that You would just move metal, Lord." "I ask that You would make it flexible." "Lord, I ask You to work in joints, in tendons and ligaments right now." "Lord, I ask that You'd bring strength, God, that You would melt things." "Lord, whatever You have to do," "Lord, whatever You have to do to this metal, come, Lord." "Come, Holy Spirit." "Father, release your fire, now, in Jesus' name." "Move it real quick." "Same, better, or worse?" "I'd say it's about the same, but it feels a little bit..." "Do you feel anything?" "Do you feel heat or anything?" "Okay, watch." "Do you feel any heat or anything like that?" "If you feel heat, I want you to squeeze my hand as I'm praying for you." " Close your eyes, man." " Okay." "Heat, electricity, anything." "Come on." "Come, Lord." "Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, I ask for..." "Are you squeezing my hand, or are you just being nice?" " No, I'm squeezing your hand." " Okay." "Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, I ask for total restor..." "Come, Lord." "Are you squeezing it harder because you're feeling more heat?" " I am." " Okay." "Come, Lord Father." "I ask for total restoration." "In the name of Jesus, Lord, double it now." "In Jesus' name, come, Lord." "Total mobility be restored, in the name of Jesus." "Move that thing, buddy." "Move that thing around." "It feels pretty good." "It popped." " It feels pretty good." " It just popped?" " Does it pop a lot?" " No, not really." "Come on, man." "Do you have better mobility?" "I would say not really, but I understand that not everything comes at once." "Dude, don't worry." "I'm gonna pray one more time, okay?" " Okay." " Do you feel any difference?" "Yeah, do you feel a difference?" " Any difference?" " I do." "I do." "Like, if zero was where you started at and ten's perfection, where are you at right now?" "I'd say I'm probably, like, at three to four." "Okay, so we're moving up." "I'm gonna pray one more time." "All right." "Come, Lord." "Come." "In Jesus' name." "In Jesus' name." "Move that thing around, buddy." " It popped again." " It popped again?" " Yeah." " Can you move it?" " Can you move it back any further?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I can move it." "Dude, I'm telling you." " That's amazing." " That's pretty cool." "Come on." "No, move it again." " Like, I want you to..." " Yeah." "Dude, are you seeing that?" "That's fantastic." " That's amazing, dude." " That's pretty cool." " How much better is it?" "Seriously?" " I would say it's better." "Like, I haven't been able to do that for ten years." "Are you serious?" "Like, do something you couldn't..." "Like, move it around on here." "Do something you couldn't do." "Oh, my goodness." "I didn't have any strength at all in my hands." "This I could never do." "I could never hold this at a 90-degree angle." " Dude, that's amazing." " Come on!" " Come on, are you being nice?" " No, I'm not being nice!" " Come on, that's amazing!" " I don't know you guys." " I wouldn't be that nice." " That's amazing." " Now, we don't know you." " Yeah." "You know what I'm saying?" "And this guy, he didn't tell us anything." " No." " Okay?" "But all of this stuff is because Jesus is absolutely in love with you." " Yeah." "Come on." " He's crazy in love with you." " You get that?" " Yeah." "He's out here just seeking after you, and the Holy Spirit shows up because He wants to have a personal one-on-one encounter with you." "We have, like, nothing to gain other than just seeing the joy on your face." " Yeah." " Isn't that amazing?" "Yeah, it's pretty cool." " Dude, that's amazing." " Yeah." " I'm serious." " No, I am too." " That's like..." " That's amazing." "I'm just gonna..." "Father?" "I'm just gonna give him praise for a sec." " Lord, we give You praise." " Praise You, Lord." "Lord, I thank You for what You're doing." "God, I thank You that You move and shift metal, Lord." "I thank You that You take something that's been impossible for ten years, and, Lord, You do it as a sign of love for this one right here, Lord, and, Holy Spirit, I just ask for more." "God, I ask that you would melt it, Lord." "I ask that you would remove metal, Lord." "We ask that you would just move it and shift it now, in Jesus' mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty name." "Move that thing around even more, man." "Dude, dude." " That's crazy." " I want you to move that thing far." " Come on, brother!" " That's crazy." "Dude, you're amazing." "My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power." "You know, really, when you begin to hear the Holy Spirit, there's all these questions going on." "Your mind is going, "Is that You?" "Is that really Holy Spirit?"" "And really, it's the fruit of it." "Is the fruit revealing that you did listen to Holy Spirit?" "He says to Moses..." "He says, "Come out and worship me on this mountain, and when you come out to worship me on this mountain, then you will know that I have spoken to you."" "It's after the fact." "So you do what God tells you." "You listen to the voice, and when there's fruit there, then you realize," ""Yes, I did hear Holy Spirit."" "Yeah, for me, I had to grow in hearing the Holy Spirit." "I had to grow in recognizing His voice and when He speaks, and that only came from taking risk." "So, if you hear something, if you hear the Holy Spirit say," ""I want you to pray for this person, they're gonna get healed,"" "or, "I have a blessing for this person,"" "the only way you know whether you're hearing accurately is to step out and do it." "So you have to fail in order to hear correctly." "You have to miss it so you understand what it actually sounds like when He is speaking." "Learning the language of Holy Spirit is like learning the language of this world." "But now think about how you learn a language." "The way you learn a language is you become childlike." "You listen." "You're not afraid to make mistakes." "If you're arrogant and you're proud, you can't learn a language well because you're too afraid to make a mistake, but if you're childlike and you're not afraid to humble yourself and become like a little child," "you'll learn a language." "It's the same kind of process learning Holy Spirit's language." "The fear of failure keeps us from success." "You have to be willing to learn how to hear the voice, and that means, "I'm going to get it wrong."" "That's automatic." "So what I have to learn to do is take ownership when it's wrong." "If I, you know, promise something that the Lord didn't back up, then I need to make that right." "I need to clean up my mess, but it's a part of the process." "When I taught my kids how to ride the bike," "I took them to the park where there was a lot of grass so that when they fell, they would fall on grass." "As leaders, we're supposed to create an environment where learning is safe." "In other words, you know, I don't put somebody on a stage to prophesy over 20 people that's just learning to hear the voice of the Lord." "It's probably not wisdom unless I'm specifically directed, 'cause I don't want to put them in a position where their fall is going to hurt." "Now, at one point during the day, we talked to our missionary friend's wife, who revealed something fairly interesting." "We're hoping that God will take this to Mormons that are questioning." "Have you seen people get saved?" "Yes." "At least four or five." " Now, that's..." " Over, like, how long?" " Years?" " Yes, years." "Oh, my husband has been working amongst Mormons for about 30 years." "And you've seen about four or five over 30 years?" " Yes." " Do you feel like that's worth it?" "Oh, absolutely." "If one person in my lifetime, if God chooses my words to save just one person, then it is worth it." "Then shortly after this, our new friend made an extraordinary statement." "We pray for revival." "We need revival." " America needs revival." " Absolutely." "You're right, man." "Sure, right." "We want the same matter of a wonderful visitation of the Holy Spirit, and I can assure you, if the Holy Spirit came to Salt Lake City, countless numbers of Mormons will flee from this devilish cult," "embrace Christ, flee from that which is horrendous and heretical..." "Sure." "So we need the Holy Spirit, but we do not need whipped-up emotion masquerading as the Holy Spirit." "Little did he know how prophetic that was." "The last people we met in Salt Lake City were four teenagers." "We struck up a conversation with them." "The guys gave each one of them a word from God, and one was healed of a knee injury from skiing." "While we prayed for them and invited the Holy Spirit to show them that He's real, we could hear missionary man shouting at people to turn or burn in the background." "Don't worry." "Father, would you release fire in his bones?" "You become so real to him... in Jesus' name." "In Jesus' name." "Wow." "More." "What did you just feel, man?" "Did you feel that thing go through you?" " Yeah." " What was that?" "The Lord." " Come on." " Your eyes are still closed." " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "What did you feel?" "Tell me about it." "I was, like, really warm, like, all over, yeah." "I felt like you were almost, like, getting woozy on me." " Are you okay?" " Yeah, I was kind of losing balance." "Yeah, watch." "Watch." "That actually happened." "Close your eyes." "Watch." "Come, Lord." "Come, Holy Spirit." " Come, Holy Spirit." " Yeah, it's, like, making me move." "I know." "It's okay." "We see it a lot when we pray for people." "These people were touched by the living God, who hasn't changed since Bible times and who wants to show each of us individually that He is real." "As a result of this encounter, all four teenagers accepted Jesus and invited the Holy Spirit into their life." "There are really only two ways to do this." "Jesus told us to bring people into the Kingdom, whether it takes you 30 years through one approach or 30 minutes through another." "If love doesn't motivate you, then there's really no point." ""If I speak with tongues of angels, if I have powers of prophecy and faith to move mountains and I understand all mysteries but I don't have love, then I gain nothing."" "I have never been able to draw, like, these clears lines and say, "This is how I tell." "This is how I separate."" "It really is more of just trust and experimenting." "You know, I ask a question, or I'm seeking out an answer from Holy Spirit, or I'm praying for something, and Holy Spirit speaks to me." "And there are times it just sounds like my own thoughts or my own voice in my head." "There's other times it doesn't." "There's other times that the thought really does come from somewhere else." "It's so obvious to me that it is not my own thought, and the only way that I can really learn to know the voice of Holy Spirit and differentiate between my own voice or my own thoughts in my head" "is just to trust that He is actually speaking to me and to just give it a shot." "Walking with Jesus filled by the Holy Spirit is so much better than anything you could do for God, you know, any work, any art," "I mean, because you become the art." "You become the work." "You know, Holy Spirit is the comforter that Jesus said He would leave and would be with us and who we would be able to rely upon until he returns." "The Holy Spirit represents power, you know, and gives us power." "Just always remember that to put any of your theology through the fact that He's a Father first, and I think a lot of people are scared to risk acting out and practicing His voice." "But I think if you can think of it like a father, you know, would you want your kids to risk hearing your voice and obeying you or fear failure?" "As I was planning this movie, I was supposed to go to Venice, Italy, with Todd White, but then one day the Lord told me instead to go to Monaco, that an adventure was waiting for me there." "He also showed me a clear vision of filming on a boat, so we headed to Monte Carlo for one day looking for an adventure and a boat." "So we walked up on the hill." "Last night we had walked around..." "Actually, we walked around, and all the stores were closed, and Darren and I..." "You and I walked around just to see where to eat, and we saw this one shop, and we went by it and said," ""Oh, this looks like a good place."" "And so today we went up to that place, made a beeline to go up on the hill to get up to this place." "We went up on the top of the hill." "We go in there, and a guy comes up." "Looks like a really cool guy, comes up." "I don't know what he said, but it was funny." "So I'm looking at this guy, and then the Lord speaks to my heart and says that he was a runner but he has damaged his knees real bad." "And I'm looking at his knees, and I'm thinking, "It's his right knee,"" "'cause I'm looking at his knee, and I'm on the right side." "So it was the knee I was looking at, but it was the left one." "Doesn't matter." "It's still the knee, right?" "And so I just dropped down on his knee, and just this guy, I don't know what he was doing." "It doesn't matter." "I was in a place again of everything's gone." "I'm just there." "It's just me and this man's knee that needs to be healed." "Jesus' name." "Move it." " It's better, man." " I know, dude." "I just shared the gospel with Nelo and shared about Jesus, man, and about having Him live inside of you, and I shared my life and what happened, and he prayed with me and gave his life to Jesus." "It was so powerful, man." "So, like, describe what you saw in his eyes." "I saw a sort of light." "It's very hard to describe." "Sincerity." "Sincerity was inside." "I have a big problem with my knee." "So does it feel better?" "It feels better." "I need to learn to pray because my life has been very hard, and I forgot to pray, you know, so..." "I said to him, I said, "Yeah," I said, "We're trying to get on a..." "We want to go on a boat and do an interview." "Do you know anybody that has any boats?"" "He said, "You need to go..." "It's right where Stars and Bars are." "There's Stars and Bars." "You need to go to Stars and Bars 'cause it's right there,"" "and I went, "Okay."" "Okay, so, if you go out from here, and then you go down, you have the harbor on your left side." "You go down on the harbor, and at the other side, there is a..." "You can see, it's a restaurant, Stars and Bars." "Stars and Bars." "We go down, and we're walking down to the yachts, and we're looking, and all of a sudden, I go to see this lady... or I'm standing beside this lady right in front of a yacht." "We're here filming a Christian documentary." " Oh, really?" " Yeah." " Oh, wow." " Yep, about the Holy Spirit." " Yeah?" " All over the Earth." " Oh, fantastic." " It's amazing." " I bet it is." " It is." "Oh, wonderful." "I was raised Church of England with my mom, but my father was French, being Catholic." " Yeah." " So, to me, there's a God and..." "Yeah." "So here's a question." "Have you...?" "This movie is all about the Holy Spirit." "And, so, with God, it's..." "I can believe in God." "There's many gods." " Yeah." " There's only one Jesus." " Right." "Yeah, yeah." " Okay, so... in Jesus, what happens is, is when I believe that Jesus is the one that paid for my sin, that paid for all that..." "He didn't pay a price for me to enter into religion." "He paid a price for me to enter into a relationship" " with my Father." " Yeah." "And so there's a place where..." "See, being spiritual is awesome, 'cause we want to connect all the time, but there is a place where you can be in a constant place of connection every day, all day long, where the Holy Spirit actually comes" "and makes His home inside of you to where you communicate with God all day, every day." "Have you ever entered into that place?" "Pray with me." "I'm serious." "This is having the Holy Spirit come and make His home in you, and He's gonna do it right now, and you're gonna actually tangibly feel it, okay?" "It's really easy, okay?" " You believe Jesus." " Yeah." " You believe Jesus." " Yeah, yeah." "Definitely." "Okay." "Just pray this with me." "Just say this." " Father God..." " Father God..." " ..." "I believe..." " ..." "I believe..." " ...that Jesus died for me..." " ...that Jesus died for me and that he raised from the dead for me." "...and that he raised from the dead for me." " I'm asking you to forgive me..." " I'm asking you to forgive me..." " ...of all of my sin..." " ...of all of my sins..." " and I'm asking you to fill me." " and I'm asking you to fill me." " Holy Spirit, come." " Holy Spirit, come." "Now just let me pray." "God, I thank You, in the name of Jesus, right now for this amazing woman." "Right now, Holy Spirit, come." "Let your presence come." "In Jesus' name, right now more, God." "In Jesus' name, fill her, God." "In Jesus' name right now." "More." "More." "Jesus' name, God." "Thank You." "Jesus' name." "More." "There." " That's awesome." " Wow!" " Did you feel that?" " Yeah!" "That's awesome." " Oh, I just..." " Thank you." "I just get..." " This is awesome." " Okay, okay." "Thank you." "This is what the Bible calls being born again." "Thank you." "It's when God the Holy Spirit comes and makes His home inside of you," " ...and He lets you know that..." " You're gonna make me cry." "...you're his daughter." " Listen, He loves you so much." " Yeah." "This is so good." "This is that place." "This is what our movie's about." "It's about people encountering the Holy Spirit, and today you've just encountered the Holy Spirit." "Thank you." "He's just come and made His home inside of you." "He'll never, ever leave you." "Is this awesome?" "I'm gonna cry." ""My Spirit that is upon you shall not depart from now and forevermore."" "I just believe." "I believe in the spiritual words." "I've spoken to a spiritualist." "I've connected with my parents that's in the spiritual world, and I just believe." "So you've had a lot of spiritual experiences, but you've never felt what you just felt?" "No." "No." "That was amazing." " This is the real Holy Spirit." " Yes, yes." "It'll never leave you, ever." " Thank you." " Oh." " You just lifted me." " That's awesome." "Thank you very much." "Where's my husband?" " He's there." " He's standing there." "And this is, like, nothing compared to this guy." "This is nice to watch this come in, but it's like, material." " I can't believe this is happening." " So do you feel different?" " Do you feel different?" " Yeah, I feel good." " Totally changed." " I couldn't stop crying." "That's awesome." "And then, for the first time in my seven years of making these films, it started to rain." "We made a dash for the nearest restaurant, which just happened to be Stars and Bars." "Almost immediately, God highlighted two women to Todd, who jumped up to see if he could pray for them." "It was only after Todd prayed for them that we learned this was actually the owner of Stars and Bars." "Even just on a boat." "Even if we could just, like, do it on..." "How many are you?" "We have five." " I might be able to help you." " I would love it." " We can't take the boat out, but..." " No, no, no, it doesn't matter." "It's kind of in a private area, so it'd have to be very, you know..." "Yeah." "No, that would be awesome." " Okay." "Well, let me know, okay?" " All right." "It was nice to meet you." "All right." " That is the craziest crazy..." " I can't believe what we..." "No, this is not even normal, dude." "This is like..." "I didn't even see the Stars and Bars." " I didn't either." " And I heard him say it." "Oh, my gosh, dude." "Like, I heard it in my heart specifically." "Like, by the Holy Spirit, like, "Go and pray for her."" "No." "I was thirsty." "And I heard it in my heart, "Go and pray for the lady."" "She had a cane." "Like, and I've seen lots of canes, man, but it was this specific... that lady had MS, so we walked over to her." "Well, that just happens to be owner of Stars and Bars' best friend." "So we got the directions, hiked our way there, turned a corner, and there it was." "And it just so happened to be her boat." "We're filming this because Darren said, "God had a..."" "Or he had a vision that God would give us the opportunity to go on a sailboat and film." " Yeah." " Really?" " I promise." " That gave me goose bumps." "Yeah, I promise." "Remember when I told you this is...?" " We talked about this months ago." " Here's the story." "So I'm a filmmaker, and this whole movie's being, like, literally, like, directed by God." " Literally." " So I hear him." "I'll hear a little, still, small voice, and I'll hear things." "And so I pulled out a map, and I'm looking at the map, and I'm thinking He's gonna make me go to..." "He's gonna ask me to go to some, like, biblical place, like the island of Patmos or something, 'cause we're going to Greece next." "And I was just looking around, and I saw Monaco, and it was, like, bright on the map, like, in my..." " Yeah." " ...spirit's eye or whatever." "And I'm like, "You want me to go to Monaco?" "Like, why do you want me to go to Monaco?"" "And I just heard, like," ""There's an adventure there for you, like, waiting for you."" "And then I just saw a vision of going on a boat." " How funny, huh?" " This is crazy." "And he comes over, and he goes," ""Do you own a boat?" "Does anybody have a boat?"" "I actually heard it in my heart specific." "And I mean, I pray for people all the time, but I really heard in my heart to, "Go over there right now and go and pray for her, and she's your friend."" "And so the crazy thing is, is we've been walking around, and I just needed some orange juice, and so I said," " "Well, let's go over..."" " And you ended up at Stars and Bars." "We didn't even know it was Stars and Bars." "So what's crazy about this, though, is three months ago, God knew that we were going to be stopping for orange juice at your restaurant exactly." " Really." " When I was walking by." "'Cause I was gonna go home." "I was heading home." "Wow." "You know, I just thought I'd come by, and I saw Dani, my friend there." "So I thought, "Oh, I'll just go ahead and get something for her."" "And you just jumped on us." "Well, this is just crazy." "We decided to eat at her restaurant, and she joined us for dinner, and that's when the entire purpose for this adventure was finally made clear." "With the church, they've messed a lot of stuff up, but Jesus never did, but the church has messed it up." "The control thing, the dominance thing, all that stuff." "So what Darren's talking about, what I talked about today is about relationship with God as a Father." "Oh, my gosh." "Okay, I saw a picture when he was praying for you." "Remember Raggedy Ann, the doll?" "I saw a picture of a Raggedy Ann." "Does that mean anything to you?" "Does that mean something to you?" "It was a picture of a Raggedy Ann doll on the ground, and there's a swing, and there's an empty swing, and it's swinging, and I remember looking at that, and I wondered, "Oh, my God, what is this?"" "And I just felt like He was saying there's something that's been lost from your past." "There's something that was lost in childhood, something in your childhood that was lost."" "Yeah." "And then so I'm looking at this thing, and I saw the..." "I see things in pictures." "And so the camera shifted, and I saw a little girl running up the steps of a house, and there was Daddy, her father." "Like, you were running into his arms, and I was just like, "I feel like He wants to, like, restore something that was taken."" "I feel like He's been chasing you your whole life, trying to get you." "I feel like you're a mover." "You're, like, a person who likes to move fast." "And I feel like He's saying, like," ""I've been running right behind her, like, running with her,"" "but it's almost like, you've been running, running, running, running, but trying to, like, accomplish things, and part of it has been because you haven't wanted to slow down to deal with certain things and deal with whatever," "but He wants you to know that He's been right behind you the whole time, and He's been keeping up with you, and He's just been waiting, waiting, waiting for however many years for you just to stop and turn around." "He's right there." "He's right behind you." ""Where shall I go from your spirit?" "Where shall I flee from your presence?"" ""Fear not, for I have redeemed you." "I have called you by name." "You are mine."" "Thank You, Father." "Thank You for being there for me." "I know you're there." "I'm ready to open my arms to You." "And..." "I don't think I realized..." "I didn't realize You were there." "I'm ready." "Thank you, guys." " Thank you all for being here." " Yeah." "I feel blessed." "So the Holy Spirit changed my plans to come to this city and gave me a vision of a boat." "Then He proved Himself at lunch." "He proved Himself at the docks." "He caused it to rain so we would meet this woman at the exact moment of her passing by this restaurant, just so He could get her to this moment." "All the expense, all the visions, all the direction for this moment, when the power of the Father's love finally captures His daughter's heart." "Oh, by the way, the name of the boat..." ""POWER OF LOVE"" "John 3, verse 8 talks about the Holy Spirit like wind and also talks about that as the nature of the believer." "So I think He likes when we learn to not just have everything regimented, but we actually learn how to listen, how to hear, how to move with Him." "I just think that delights Him." "I think it delights Him to see when we just believe God." "You know, faith is that which pleases God so highly." "I think He celebrates it much more than we might imagine." "Nobody ever changed the world playing it safe." "They just didn't." "Following Jesus is one of the most risky things ever." "I mean, not in the sense of salvation, but following Jesus in the sense of really wanting to change the world, that gets risky." "You're gonna be put in spots that, like, are scary and nerve-racking, and you're gonna have to be willing to look like an idiot, and you're gonna have to step out." "So one of the things is just flat-out realizing, if you're gonna change the world..." "I've never read about anybody, both in scripture... or read about anybody in history that changed the world that didn't take a risk." "You know, for so long... 'cause I was in the world forever, you know." "And for so long, it was just, like, "Oh, those Christian people..." "They're all goodie-goodies, and, you know, they do everything right, and they're over there." "They're in their bubble." "Christian music, Christian award shows, all that, and everything."" "And I just think right now is..." "Yeah, I totally think that just those walls should come down because you don't got to be in a country club to be a Christian, you know." "And Jesus said, "Go out into all the world."" "How are you supposed to go out into all the world when you're in your bubble?" "So, yeah, I know that my music, which has been a part of contemporary Christian music, has changed countless lives, and I'm grateful for that, but I also think it's sort of..." "I'm not sure that we're having a whole lot of impact on our culture, and that's what bothers me about it." "I don't want to follow the world, but I'm in the world." "I'm from the street, and I learned and grew up in the street." "I still love the streets, and I have a lot passion for folks out in the street." "We're all here to do our thing, where God wants us to be, and my place happens to be where it is, in the world of music and rock and roll, and I may reach people where others can't," "and they reach people that I can't." "What the world doesn't need are more Christian artists." "What we need are more artists who have their Christianity intact and really understand what it means to be a follower of Jesus." "What it means to be a follower of Jesus does not mean to sit in the church Sunday after Sunday and be good at everything, you know, and be sweet and be polite." "You know, we are called to go out into the world." "I think one thing that the Western church lacks is courage, and then you got those people out there on the edges, the people that are in, you know, what many Christians would call..." "You know, "You shouldn't be involved in that,"" "you know, that heavy metal or that, you know... whatever the thing is, you know, that heavy rap or whatever." "But that's where the lions live." "That's where the natives are, you know?" "We need people who, when they go out there, they're creating work that is birthed out of love." "Listen, art that doesn't have the presence of God in it is idolatry." "What we want is we want to bring the presence of God to the world, and the world is dying." "The world isn't gonna come inside the church." "The church has to go into the world." "We're out here living like rock stars, like you do." "We, you know, grew up watching videos of people, other rock stars partying and just everything they did, from drinking to..." "You know, that was just part of the deal." "So, as we were kids, we wanted to be in a band, me and Head, and we, you know, ended up looking up to these bands." "We're like, "This is what we got to do."" "You know, I don't know how much the world knows, but it was nonstop, from my eyes open to a bong to a Xanax, throwing up, and then trying to make it as far as I can to not having a drink and then drinking," "but it was all just fun and games to me." "For two years, I did meth, and I was just, like, basically a junkie in a tour bus, you know?" "And I took my drugs to New Zealand, Australia." "I packed them in my suitcase." "I took them to Europe." "I ran out in Europe and had my dealer send me some over the mail in Europe." "I was, like, risking everything, and after that two years, I was like, "I got to get sober."" "And along with all of this started becoming... ripping relationships apart, violence, loneliness, to, you know, just getting bad, and he was in my life the whole time, and this guy's watched me rip people apart." "Like, I was just violent." "You know, I don't know why I never killed anybody, 'cause I was a pretty violent guy." "And it was getting pretty bad, to where..." "He ended up finally..." "Head left when he found..." "You know, he found Jesus, he left." "But what really changed me was, you know, I got into my house, and I got my Bible out, and I was still on the drugs, and I was flipping through it, and it seemed to be, like, talking to me, you know?" "And I was just, like, "How do I know for sure this is real?"" "Then all of a sudden, like, eternity seemed like it opened up all around me, and you got to understand, I was on meth for two years, so I felt nothing but just a gutter feeling in my soul." "I was just horrible feeling." "It was just so intense that I was just holding the Bible, and I started shaking." "I look up and..." "The best way to describe it is that I felt like I was home in life for the first time, and I just looked up, and I said, "Father..."" "Like, "Father, I'm home," you know." "And after that, like, the next morning, I threw away all the drugs." "I haven't touched them since." "I've stopped drinking." "I was basically addicted to the Holy Spirit's presence and just that feeling of eternity from that moment on, and I've just been going, going, going ever since." "And I was still just, like, just still partying, and then my dad got sick." "His dad was a prison minister, and he'd been praying for us and stuff like that, and especially his son." "So his dad called me to congratulate me after I left Korn and all that." "He's like, "Man, I've been praying for you guys." "That's so awesome."" "He's like, "Man, I'm telling you, I've been praying for my son too." "I can't wait." "If I ever get to Heaven and he's not saved yet, I'm going straight to Jesus."" "About three months later," "I hear that his dad got a deathly ill... illness that nobody knew what it was." "He died." "His wife's like, "Hey, your dad just wanted you to, you know, pray." "Will you pray with me?" And I'm like, "Yeah."" "I mean, it was just chaos, you know?" "I was like, "Yeah."" "So she prayed to ask me to accept Jesus, and I don't know what happened, but the whole family came back to my house, and my aunt was there, which is his sister, my dad's sister," "and she's, like, just sitting there." "We're, like, kind of mourning, I guess, and I told her..." "I remember going, "You think I'm saved?"" "And then, like, a week went on, and I decided..." "I don't know." "Something happened." "I just stopped drinking, and it's, like, seven days a week I drank." "These guys would take off on Sunday." "I'd go, "Why you guys taking a day off?" I drank seven days a week." "And it just stopped, and everything just stopped, and I just went to bed with no drinking, no weed, no pills, and I was just..." "And then the next day came, next day came, and then she got me a bible, and I'm like, "I don't know."" "Set it right there." "It sat there for, like, a week, and I was, like..." "Just opened it up." "Started reading it, and it just became truth." "I was reading it, and I go, "I'm gonna read this whole thing no matter what."" "Jeez." "And I just read it no matter what, and I was like, "Woah!"" "And this truth hit me, and every word was coming at me." "It was like, "This is encouraging love."" " And I was like, "Whoa!"" " Yeah." "And I just kept reading it and just didn't stop, and I told myself, I'm like, "I'm gonna read this every single day for the rest of my life."" "I've never been the same since, and, you know, since I asked Jesus into my heart and into my life," "I've never been the same." "So it's just crazy that his dad said," ""If I ever die and my son's not saved," "I'm gonna go to Jesus and ask him where my son is." "I've been praying for him."" "And that night that he died, he was like, "Am I saved?"" "You know what I mean?" "It's like..." "It's just crazy." "It's crazy how real Heaven is." "And once again, God asked me to do something crazy... take Todd White, along with Brian "Head" Welch and Fieldy from the metal band Korn, out to the crowds before and after a concert and see what the Holy Spirit would do." " What are we doing, Mr. Director?" " Where we going?" "Do you know where we're going?" " Hey." " Hey." " We're led by the Spirit right now." " Okay." "I think we got to go this way." "Do your thing." "Okay, yeah, we're gonna have to go..." " Where are we going?" " I don't know." "To front of house." " Where is it?" " It don't matter." "As soon as we walk out, it's gonna cause a scene." "Well, I think the front of the house is towards where the stage is at." "Walk on the other side of the curtain." "I don't know." "This is our Spinal Tap moment right now." " Yeah." " Spinal Tap?" "That's awesome, man." "This is kind of crazy." "Like, I don't even know if this is front of the house." "I haven't been there, but it's somewhere that way." "This is where the meet and greet was, out here, so..." "Would that be where your vendors are?" "We don't even know what's on the other side of this door, but..." " You want me to look first?" " Nope." "Okay." "Okay." "Oh, here we are." "Here we are, right here." "Can't get any better than this." "Led by the Spirit." "What's up, y'all?" "Hey." "Wow." "How'd we end up out here?" "Is this the line to get in?" "Yep, the line to get in." " What's going on?" " This the line to get in?" " Okay, go." "Anybody need healing?" " Awesome." "Hey!" "Listen, guys, before you go up in there, like..." " Listen." " Listen." "Brian and Fieldy and me, we want to pray for you right now as you're going through." "Regardless of what you believe, okay?" " Is that all right?" " Yep." "So we're just gonna go through and pray for you." "Who in here needs healing in their body?" " Anybody need healing?" " Physical healing, right now?" "Anybody at all needs physical healing right now?" "I'm serious." "You don't have to believe." "We'll just pray for you, and Jesus will touch you." "All right, is it your back?" " Is it your knee?" " Kidney?" " Kidney." " That's easy." "Come on." "Come on, let's pray." "Come on, Brian, let's pray." "Let's everybody pray." "So, Father, we thank You, in Jesus' name." " Okay." "Okay." " Because we're forgiven." " So that's the stain of that stuff." " I'm ready." "All right?" "Let's pray." "So, Father, I thank You in the name of Jesus, God." "God, I thank you in Jesus' name." "Liver, we command you be healed right now." "Father, I thank You for a brand-new liver." " Hey, no, no, no, thank you." " Awesome." "Thank you." " Thank you." " So good." " What about atheists?" " Huh?" " What about atheists?" " Come on, man, where?" " Right here." " Yeah!" "Awesome." " We love you." " What about it?" " Bless you." " Nothing, dude." "I was an atheist my whole life, man." "It took me getting shot." "I actually was an atheist my whole life." "Grew up in a home..." "My whole life, man." "I saw Christians that actually talked about God but didn't walk any God out." "I saw a lot of people talk the talk but didn't walk the walk." "So, like, as far as an atheist and all that stuff goes," "I'm not here to put anything on anyone." "That's the truth about where I came out of." " And my whole life got rocked." " That's a good story, bud." "It's amazing." "Do you have anything that gives you any trouble with one of your shoulders?" "No?" "Physically, are you healthy completely?" "Is there any problems at all physically?" "My back isn't the best." " I just had surgery on my back." " We call him "Brokeback Joe."" " Did you really?" " Yeah." "Did you break the bottom?" " Yeah, Brokeback Joe." " No way." " Brokeback Joe." " You got to see this, dude." "Come here." "I want to show you something." "Yeah, what's up?" "Want to sit back some?" "Put your butt back and just, like, sit back on the stairs." "Like, sit back a little bit more." " Come up here." " Okay." " Brokeback Joe." " Bless you, man." "So which side of your back hurts the worst?" " This side." " Okay." "All right." "So how long ago did you break it?" "Oh, a couple years ago." "Okay, so you got pain?" " A little bit." " Does it go down your leg?" " Oh, yeah." " Okay." "All right, so take your pants and hike them up a little bit." "All right, so I'm gonna put your legs together." "All right." "All right, so, when you look at..." "You've gone to the chiropractors and doctors and all that?" "Yeah, had surgery and everything." "They tell you your leg's shorter, your one leg's shorter than the other one, and it throws your back out?" "Okay, so regardless of..." " Well, yeah, no matter what." " You guys can see this, right?" "Take your toes and..." "So bring your heels together." "See how short it is?" "That's why I'm Brokeback Joe." "No, look, you can see your feet." " Do you see your feet?" " Yeah." "I'll hold them." "Just relax." "I got you." "Don't try to hold them up." "All right." "I'm relaxed, bud." "Okay, so, if you see this leg, it's longer than the other one, and with back injuries and stuff, a lot of times it throws your legs out." "Regardless of what you do, I'm gonna pray for you, and Jesus is gonna grow your leg out and heal your back." "You don't even have to believe, dude." "So you get into the weirdest place of belief that you want." "You can un-believe as much as you want, and God's gonna grow your leg out and heal your back." " I promise." " Okay." "Okay?" "Because regardless of where someone's heart is, His love for you is bigger." "Like, I know because I got shot at." "I was that guy." "You know what I mean?" "Okay." "So, Father, I thank You, in Jesus' name." "Left leg, I command you grow right now." "Jesus' name." "Look at it." "See it?" " Whoa." " Look at that." " Whoa." " You guys see that right there?" "Yes." "It's longer now than the other one." "That's nuts." "So, Father, I thank You for a brand-new back, God." "I thank You that it's not about religion." "It's about Jesus." "It's not about religion." "It's not about just a building." "It's about Jesus." "Look at that, man." "Jesus, I thank You for a brand-new back." "Father, thank You that all the pain would leave his back, that every bit would be healed." "So, Father, I thank You, in Jesus' name, that his back would be made whole." "God, I ask you to bless this man, overwhelm him with your goodness, God, 'cause he is awesome." "He loves me, and He loves you, bro." "I promise, man." "Look at that." "Stand up and check your back, man." "I'm serious, dude." " Brokeback Joe." " Brokeback Joe!" "Broke-fixed Joe." " What does it feel like right now?" " It feels good, bud." "Can you bend?" "Can you bend over and check and see?" "Oh, yeah." " Any pain at all?" " No." " None?" " No." "Okay, so time will tell, man, but I just..." "I'm not, like, out here to say you need to..." "No, dude." "God loves you, bro, and that's it, man." "Semper fi, man." " Semper fi." " I love you, man." "No pressure." "I love you, man." "Awesome, man." "How about you, dude?" "Anything at all?" "How's your back?" "This dude's gonna heal people!" "Who needs healing?" " Your back's hurting, man, for real?" " Come on!" "Step up!" "For real." "So, like, what I heard in my heart, man, is you have two discs already in your back that are messed up, right?" " Two herniated discs?" " What?" " All right, man, for real, right?" " Yeah." "Okay, we're gonna pray right now, and Jesus is gonna heal you, dude, for real, all right?" "So, Father, I thank You, in Jesus' name." "God, thank You for brand-new discs right now, in Jesus' name." "Brian, just say, "Discs be healed."" "Discs be healed, in Jesus' name." " Right now." " Right now." "Jesus' name." "Dude, this is something that, like, even is passed down as, like, a family thing, your dad, like, all that stuff, like, they work hard..." "You have bad backs in your family?" "Jesus." "Come on." "Father, I thank You, in Jesus' name, that, God, You would actually heal his father too, right now." "God, thank You, and I thank You for his dad's right shoulder right now, in Jesus' name, right now." "Jesus' name." "Father, I thank you also for his mama's neck right now, in Jesus' name." "I command her neck to be healed right now." "Yep, she has a neck problem, man." "It's a problem." "It goes right up in the back of the right side of her neck, dude." "In Jesus' name, right now." "Touch her now, God, in Jesus' name." " How does he hear that stuff?" " Jesus' name." "Amen." "Can you bend and check your back?" "Check it." "Dude, check it." "Like, bend over." "Bend over and check it." "We don't know you." "How does...?" "It's crazy." "Was that right?" "Was that right, what he said?" "About your dad and about your mom, all that." " Are you serious?" " So good." " That's the truth!" " Dude, it's the truth, bro." " For real, dude." " Wow, man." "Hey!" "Seriously, can we pray for you?" "Like, no being put on the spot, man." "Like, is there anything..." "What would you say, man?" "Not being considerate to my parents." "Not being considerate to your parents, man?" " Yeah." " Come on, dude." "Where you at with Jesus, bro?" "I grew up in the Presbyterian church." "Okay, man." "Have you ever given your life to Him?" "Have you ever asked Him to come and make His home inside of you?" " No, I never have." " Come on, man." "The only way to be considerate to your parents, man..." "Honestly, I promise." "Dude, I was a drug addict for 22 years, man." "I was so mad at my mom and so mad at my dad, and I just..." "It just exploded all the time." " I'm an alcoholic." " Bro, for real, man." "God will take it, man." "God will take..." "I promise, man." "God will take it from you, dude." "Listen, the only way He can take it from you is if you ask Him to come and make His home inside, man, so He can work this thing out." "There's no way for you to clean yourself up." "Look, there's no way for people to clean themselves up enough to come back." "That's right, man, but Jesus can do it, bro." " Would you pray with me, man?" " Say it louder!" "I'm serious, man." "Would you let Him come and make His home inside of you?" "Come on, man." "Yeah?" "Look, how many of you guys have ever, like..." "Listen, man, you guys believe that Jesus is real?" "Do you believe that?" "Come on." "I want you guys..." "Will you do me a favor, bro?" "Listen, it don't matter who you are." "It doesn't matter what you've done." "It doesn't matter where you're at." "Would you be willing to pray with me right now, for God to have your life completely and for Him to possess your life?" "Who would say that they would do that right now?" " Does it got to be Jesus?" " That's right, it's Jesus, man." " It's got to be Jesus, man." " I'll do it." "Come on." "Who else?" "Who all would do it, man?" "Just say, "Yes to Jesus," man." "For real." "Come on, man." "Awesome." " Come on." " Come on in here." "Everybody come in the huddle!" "Whoever wants to pray with us, I want you guys to come in right now." "Come on, man." "This is awesome." "I'm serious, dude." "Have you guys ever given your life to Jesus?" " Ever?" " I have a crucifix on my back." "Come here." "Come on up here." "Come on." "Fieldy, this is so good." "Listen, we're gonna ask God right now to come and make His home inside." "This sounds funny, but I promise you, it changes everything." "If you've never given your life to Jesus, come up here!" "Do it right now!" "Come on, with Fieldy and Brian." "Let's just do it!" "And Jesus will heal you of anything that you're sick of right now!" "Come on, we're gonna pray and ask Jesus to possess us." "Oh, I promise." "It'll be the best thing you ever did." "Religion isn't a real deal." "Jesus is the real deal, man." " Something bigger than us." " That's right, bro!" "It's Jesus Christ, man." "He paid a price for us to be forgiven of all of our junk, but He also paid a price to come and make His home inside, man." "I promise you this, bro." "God will change your life, man." "I'm serious." "You came up here." "That was, like, bold, bro." "Bold, man." "I'm proud of you, man." "I love you, dude." "I don't even know you." "It don't matter, man." "I'm serious, dude." "Doesn't matter what you've been." "Doesn't matter where you've been." "It's one thing to say that I believe in God." "It's another thing to say that I believe that Jesus has come to make His home inside of me and I believe that Jesus is my only way to God." "Listen, there's a lot of gods out there." "There's only one Jesus." "Are you hearing me?" "Can you guys understand?" "That's right." "He's with you every day." "So, to ask Him to come and make His home inside of you, that's just it." "So, Jesus paid a price on the cross at Calvary." "Paid a price to forgive our sins, but He also paid a price to come and live inside of us through the Holy Spirit." "So what we're gonna do is we're gonna ask Jesus just to forgive us," "God to forgive us of all our sin." "Jesus paid a price that we could never pay." "Paid a price so that He could come and have His way and come and live inside of us, okay?" "So, right now, man, all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna lead you guys." "We're gonna pray." "Who here would say that they definitely believe that Jesus was real?" "Yeah?" "Come on." "That's qualification right there." " Do you believe Jesus died for you?" " Yes." "Do you believe that Jesus was raised from the dead for you?" "Listen, I don't care what kind of upbringing you had." "It doesn't matter if you were Catholic." "It doesn't matter." "What matters is that you know that Jesus paid the price He did, but He didn't pay just the price to get you to Heaven." "He paid a price to get Heaven inside of you so that the Holy Spirit could come and make His home inside of you." "Listen, right now what He's gonna do is take all your junk and all the stuff that we came up with, all the stuff that was done to us and all the stuff we wished we'd never done," "He's gonna clear it, dude, because Jesus is the only way." "I promise, man." "It's not religion." "It's a relationship with the King of Glory." " Amen?" " Yeah!" " Are you guys ready?" " Ready." " Everybody..." " Let's do it." "Everybody, I want you to pray with me, okay?" "I want you to say this." " Lord God..." " Lord God..." " ...right now..." " ...right now..." " ...we're saying..." " ...we're saying..." " ...that we believe..." " ...that we believe..." " ...that Jesus died for our sin..." " ...that Jesus died for our sin that he was raised from the dead for me." "...that he was raised from the dead for me ...and that all of my past and all the things I wish I never did and that all of my past and all the things I wish I never did all the stuff that I did that I wish I didn't all the stuff I did that I wish I didn't that right now we're about to nail it to the cross at Calvary." "...right now, we're about to nail it to the cross at Calvary." "Right now addiction is gonna be broken off of our lives." "Right now addiction is gonna be broken off of our lives." "Lord God, forgive us of our sin." "Lord God, forgive us of our sin." "We're asking You right now to come and make Your home inside of us." "We're asking You right now to come and make Your home inside of us." "So we're taking one person at a time, and hopefully we're encouraging you." "Tomorrow's a new day and..." "Like I said, it's hard to believe in shit you can't see." "But when you know what Jesus did, then you're forgiven that much of all your dirty laundry?" " Oh, yeah." " All that?" "No, He forgives you for everything that you've done." " I hope He does." " He does." "So, when you realize that, it says that those who have been forgiven much can love much." "Just pray." "Just ask Him in real quick." "Can you do that?" "Just say, "Lord, Jesus."" "Lord Jesus." "Come into my heart." "Come into my life." "Come into my heart." "Come into my life." "Give me the strength to do this stuff." "Give me the strength to do this." ""He saved us not by works we had done but because of His mercy through His Holy Spirit."" ""Ever since this encounter," "Brian and Fieldy have been praying for fans before or after their shows and have continued to see healings and salvations and Fieldy even got a new tattoo..." "There's this phrase in Christian circles that is "And God showed up,"" "and I get what they're saying, and I think it's important what they're getting at, but I think it's wildly unhelpful, because if God shows up, you have to ask," ""Well, where was God before that?"" "Right?" "And, I mean, if there's one thing I can say to the world, it would be that God is here." "God is..." "You know, when Jesus prayed, you know," ""Our Father in the heavens who fills the atmosphere, who is closer than the air we breathe..."" "And in my opinion, the question is never," ""Where is God, and how can I get Him here?"" "The question is always, "God is here." "You know, how can I wake up?"" "When you start to care less about what people think about you, you start to become free, really free, and I think when you become really free, then I think something opens up that gives you the capacity to sort of, like, you know..." "I call it a conduit." "Perfect conduit." "That's one of my biggest prayers." "Two prayers... not to ever be offended by anybody ever again the rest of my life and to be the perfect conduit for what the Holy Spirit wants to do." "The Holy Spirit comes, and He empowers us to take the risk and to go into those places that would normally be impossible." "So you're kind of going in with a secret weapon." "You're going in with a game changer, where normally you would be like, "I can't do that." "I can't walk on water." "I can't, you know, turn water into wine," or whatever." "Pick your miracle." "You're going with a secret weapon that you have to take risk." "You have to step out in order to see Him come, in order to see Him move." "It's not saying that the Holy Spirit won't move without us, but He's chosen to use broken vessels to move through." "So He comes and partners with us." "So what was the biggest risk I would take?" "My biggest test when God asked me to go to India, to a city called Varanasi, the oldest city in the world and the birthplace of both Hinduism and Buddhism." "I was told that to attempt what I was thinking, to worship Jesus at a Hindu temple at the banks of the Ganges and to pray for people there was suicide." "This is where the militants lived, and Christians were not allowed." "Oh, that's impossible." "Impossible." "Openly going in the name of Jesus, worshipping Him and praising and lifting His name high, people would get killed." "But if you want to obey the Holy Spirit, then sooner or later, you're going to have to trust Him." "We end up getting to the Ganges on day one after we toured some of the temples, and we're sitting there, and there's not very many people there 'cause it's been flooded for a while, the highest it's been in 20 years." "My first thought was, "There's not really a lot of people here, but I know that wherever we go, the Holy Spirit can draw and attract people."" "And Darren, he just came up, and we were like," ""So you want to play a little bit or...?"" "You know, and I was like, "Yeah, I guess so." "Like, let's just see what happens."" "Jake starts to play." "There's a very real sense of God's presence descending in that place and a very familiar sense of the Holy Spirit." "People started to come, obviously attracted by the music but more by the presence of God, and these two young guys come over, and they come over to me." "I see the Holy Spirit on them, and we get into conversation." "Do you like this?" "Yeah." "That's good." "And you can feel it here, can you?" "Yeah." " My heartbeat is going uncontrollable." " Your heartbeat is going fast?" "Yeah." "Yeah, we call that, the Holy Spirit is touching your heart." "Yeah, clearly." "Yeah?" "Why this place you chose?" "Well, we didn't." "We just, you know..." "We're wandering." " Oh." " Oh." "We're wandering wherever God leads us." "It's the Holy Spirit." "The Holy Spirit living in Jake is helping him to worship like that." "And you feel it inside." "You feel Him inside." "Yeah, I am feeling this..." "It's very good." "It's very, very good." "Very, very, very good." "Would you like to feel more of His presence?" "Would you like to feel more of this?" " Yeah, why not?" " Can I pray you feel more?" " Yeah, why not?" " Can I pray that?" "Okay." "So what was your name, again?" " I'm Saga." " Saga." " S-a-g-a, Saga." " Saga." "Could I put my hand on your shoulder, Saga?" " Yeah, why not?" " Would that be okay?" "Okay." "And put my hand on your chest?" "I'm gonna ask for more of the presence of God as Jake worships, and you'll feel His presence, yeah?" " Okay." " Okay." "So, Father, thank You for Saga." "Father, I just invite Your presence." "Thank You, Father." "You love Saga so much." "You love him with all your heart, God, and this is the joy that You want to bring to Saga, Your presence, and for him to know that You love him and that You care for him." "So come, Holy Spirit." "Just gonna ask for an increase of more of Your presence, more of Your goodness." "And will You just fill him from the top of his head right through to the soles of his feet?" "In every area of his life, he's overflowing." "His heart is bursting with Your presence." "And we just ask for more of Your presence." " I'm feeling that." " You feel that?" " Yeah, I'm feeling that." " Yeah." "More, more, God." "More, God." "Come, Holy Spirit." "More, God." "Fill him, Lord." "Just give him a taste of Your joy and Your love and Your presence." "My heart is trembling." "Yeah." "Your knees shaking?" "Yeah, I can see that." "That's the presence of the Holy Spirit on your body, Saga." "Yeah, that's, like..." "Yeah, more." "Thank you, Lord." "Now, from the innermost being, Lord... from his innermost being, would You just fill him?" "My heartbeat is telling me" "He is present there." "Yeah, you feel him?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Would you like to experience as well?" " Yeah, I would." " Come." "What's your name?" "Let the joy touch his heart, Lord." "I feel like what you pray for me." "You can feel that?" "There's more." "There's more for you." "That's my heart." "I feel what you prayed." "You all are very different." " Huh?" " You all are very different." " We're all different?" " Yeah." "Have you ever experienced that before?" "You had not experienced..." "That you haven't experienced this before?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Okay." " I believe in God." " I know." "Very much I believe in God, but this feeling is different." "And we are here because we are somewhat disturbed." "But now I'm relaxed." "One of the people there was a man named Ramesh." "Unbeknownst to me, our Christian friends had gone to him the night before and asked him to just hang out with us that day." "All we were told from our Christian friends was that he was a radical Hindu and his presence should lessen the chance that we would get a beating." "It was also very apparent that he liked Jake's music a lot." "You know, I remember you asked me, "What do you think?" "You know, should we go somewhere else?"" "And my reply was, "It doesn't matter where we go." "The Holy Spirit will be there."" "So I decided to take the guys for a walk and just let Jake play in the streets." "Our new friend Ramesh was so excited, he carried Jake's guitar case for him." "We're walking down the streets, and the streets here are so close that when you're singing into them, it creates this natural reverb, and your voice carries down these halls." "I mean, it's like singing in a hallway because there's no room for the sound to go anywhere." "So now people are looking out of..." "They're looking out the windows, and they're looking out of the corners, and they're coming out on the little balconies, and they're coming out in the streets, and it's like, "What's happening?"" "But then we get into the parking lot where we had parked, and all of a sudden, it was like," ""Oh, there is a lot of people now gathering."" "Do you like this?" " Yeah." " It's nice, isn't it?" "And do you feel something in here when he sings?" " Yeah." " Yeah, do you know what we call it?" "We call that the presence of God, the Holy Spirit." " Holy Spirit?" " Yes." " And it's nice, isn't it?" " Yeah, yeah." "Would you like to experience more of that presence that you feel here?" "Yeah, yeah." "I mean, God wants to give you more of His presence, what you feel here." " Yeah." " Could I pray for you quickly?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" " Okay, what's your name?" " Akil." " Akil?" " Yeah." "Father, I thank You for Akil, and, Lord, I just invite Your presence to come..." "Yeah." "I just ask You to touch Akil, fill him with Your Holy Spirit, fill him with Your presence." "Yeah." "I'm feeling it." " Can you feel that?" " Yeah." " So you feel God's presence?" " Yeah." "That's wonderful, isn't it?" " You can feel it here?" " There is something." "There is something?" "Yeah, I know." "I know." "And the crowd grew even bigger." "We couldn't stay in the parking lot, so we moved to a nearby park." "Little did we know what it represented." "And we go into this park where there's, like, this little statue or a bust of the leader... sort of the guy who represented... in very simple terms, it was the guy who represented the poorest class of Indians," "and that is, like, insane to me, 'cause that's, like, who Jesus came to meet." "Like, the Holy Spirit wasn't simply poured out so that we could have a nice encounter." "He was poured out 'cause He wanted to touch humanity, and you've got these..." "We're standing with now, what, a couple hundred people?" "I don't even know, and they're feeling power." "They're feeling presence." "They don't know what it is." "They don't have the language for it." "But we're sitting in the midst of the guy and the place that was built..." "This park was built to represent the poorest of the poor, the lowest class, and for us to go, like," ""This is where we want to hang out..."" "Like, we don't have a dog in this fight." "We're not here to prove anything." "We just want to tell people that God really wants to meet with them." "The whole purpose is God wants to..." "He doesn't want to just..." "He doesn't want to be from a distance." "He wants to get right up on you." "I just want to say..." "Can you let everybody know I want to say thank you for coming and listening, but I want to tell you..." "I'm only singing in the streets... and we sang by the river... because I came to India... for one reason... to tell you... that no matter where you're at... no matter what you're doing... no matter how rich... or how poor... you... are loved." "You are loved." "You are loved." ""Let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows Him because God is love."" "We were reminded just how dangerous what we were doing was when we went to a Buddhist temple where Buddha preached his first sermon after receiving enlightenment." "Jake began to play, a crowd literally exploded, and Mark started praying for people." "Now, I'm gonna pray for you." "Can I lay my hand on your knee?" "Can I put my hand on your knee?" "And I'm gonna ask Jesus to heal you." "Okay." "All right." "And is your knee in pain right now?" "What's wrong with it?" "What's wrong?" "And you still have pain now?" "Yeah?" "Okay, now I'm gonna pray, and we're gonna see what God can do." "So, Father, I thank You for bringing us here." "God, You love this man with all of Your heart." "We invite Your presence to come upon him." "Come right now, Holy Spirit." "In Jesus' mighty name," "I take authority over every injury to your knee and leg." "I command the joint be healed, the kneecap be healed." "I command the pain go." "I speak the oil of Heaven into your knee joints, and I speak right now all pain dissolve away and go." "I speak for mobility and freedom as you walk." "That's right." "A brand-new knee in Jesus' name." "Thank you, Heavenly Father." "Thank you, God." "All pain go." "Be healed in Jesus' name." "Thank you, God." "Okay." "Now, okay, now try." "See how it is." "Try it." "How's that feel?" "Try it." "You're healed." "Yes." "You're healed." "The one who's healed you is Jesus." "But shortly after we started, Jake got attacked." "So I'm kind of like..." "I don't know where this is gonna go." "So I finish Freedom." "They kind of clap." "They're pretty excited, and I get in sort of the next song." "People wanted to shake hands, 'cause they don't know who they're meeting, and they want to shake hands." "I start going to the next song, and I see a guy come up, and I thought he was going to go out and shake my hand." "And he's a smaller dude, but he literally reaches out and grabs my arm, and all of a sudden, I know this is not normal, and he starts to pull me, like he's gonna rip me off the stage." "Where's Mark at?" "Where's Mark and Darren?" "Okay, we need to move." "We need to move." " They're saying we need to move." " Okay." "Immediately I felt Matt, one of the other video guys, he tapped me on the shoulder, and he said, "We are leaving now."" "And so I backed up, kind of got out of the way." "We realized we were kind of cornered." "People weren't gonna let us out." "Immediately saw one of the guys we were with, and we kind of scooted on out of there, but it was... it was a super-intense moment." " Was it getting scary, your end?" " Oh, it was crazy on my end." " Was it?" "Was it?" " Oh, yeah." "It was super intense." "I had a guy try to pull me off the stage." " No, you're joking!" " No, really." "They tried to grab me off the stage." "We were told, you know, these people wouldn't hesitate to kill you and to cut your body up and throw it into the Ganges." "This is the most radical place you're gonna find on Earth, and it's serious business." "So, when we were taken to the most radical part of Varanasi to try to do what I felt God was telling me to do, we all understood the dangers involved." "Earlier, we had learned that Ramesh was actually the high priest of the local Monkey God Temple." "So imagine my surprise when, at 4:00 A.M. the next morning, the Lord woke me up and gave me my new marching orders." "So, in the morning, we go down to breakfast, and we're kind of hanging out, talking about the day." "What are we gonna do?" "What does this look like?" "And you had said, "Hey, look, like, I want to see the impossible."" "We were told by one of the women who represents some of the ministry here, she had said, "Getting into and filming inside of a Hindu temple would be like getting into the Dome of the Rock,"" "because it's that impossible." "When we went back to the streets of Varanasi, this time to the holiest part of this holy city, it was time once again for God to do the impossible." "So I approached our new friend, who, it was clear, was some kind of big shot down here, and asked him if I could actually film inside his Monkey God Temple." "He looked at me for a moment and then simply said, "Yes."" "And I think all the leaders here were kind of like, "You're not kidding." "Like, you want to go film..." "You're gonna go as crazy as you can, even if you get beat doing it."" "And it was kind of like, "Yeah, that's why we came," you know." "So, I think once that distinction was made by all the leaders and Ramesh himself, it was kind of like, "Well, let's go for it," you know." "It's kind of like, "Let's just see what happens."" "So we headed for the temple, but Ramesh turned and started leading us away from the Monkey God Temple." "When I asked him where he was taking us, that's when he dropped the bomb on me that he was also the high priest of the Shiva Temple." "Well, you know, I'm just following everyone." "I'm thinking we're going to the Monkey God Temple." "So we walk up these steps, and I'm thinking, "This is the Monkey God Temple?" "Doesn't look like the Monkey God..." "I can't see any monkeys." "I can't see any statues of monkeys."" "Then I'm told that this is the Shiva Temple, this is the big one." "In a religion of over 3 million gods, Shiva is at the top." "The Ganges River is holy because it flows from Shiva's hair." "For a Shiva temple to touch the Shiva River is..." "Well, this is the very heart of Hinduism... and not only were we about to do what everyone told us was impossible, but the high priest of this holy place was actually inviting us to do it." "So we arrive where we shouldn't even be, and Ramesh had another surprise for us." "But he's like, "No, bust out your guitar and sing that Freedom song."" "The high priest of the god Shiva is asking me to sing a song of freedom on the steps of the Ganges River in front of their temple." "So we just..." "So we do." " You like the freedom one?" " Yeah." "And I start singing Freedom, like, you know, got to get to the good part that the high priest of Shiva would like to have happen on his temple steps, and so I start playing, and he just starts..." "Dude, this guy..." "How do you describe the head priest of the Temple of Shiva on the Ganges River singing... just eating... just eating his thing being like, "Freedom!" "Freedom!" "Yeah!" "Freedom!"" "And he's just getting it right there, just loving it, and we're just, "God, come and bring freedom to this place."" "That's all we want." "We're not trying to sit here and convert thousands of people, because when the truth..." "We know where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." "And so he's like, "Let's take this thing to the streets!"" "Okay, Ramesh." "Let's hit the streets." "So we go to the streets." ""I am the Lord your God." "Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it."" "Later, we would discover that our Christian friends had secretly assigned each of us two bodyguards, as they were convinced that what we wanted to do would result in a riot and possibly our deaths." "Yet no one touched us." "With the high priest at our side, we openly proclaimed Jesus as Lord in the heart of this, the oldest city in the world." "That by itself probably would have been impossible enough to call this a good day, but this was God's movie after all, and He wanted to go out with a bang." "We were told it would be impossible to film inside a temple on the Ganges River, but this wasn't just any temple." "This was Shiva's temple, making it that much more impossible, but with God, all things are possible, and so we walked in." "Immediately, a man jumped at me to tell me to stop filming, but we simply said we were with the high priest, and just like that, we were in." "While we were in the temple, I came upon the holy of holies." "It was forbidden for me to enter... a foreigner, a Christian..." "But the Holy Spirit is greater than any God, and He opens doors that no man can shut." "That is impossible, I would say." "You can't go inside there." "If you went the holier-than-holies place, nobody's allowed there." "So I don't know." "Maybe..." " You mean, like, a foreigner?" " Yeah, foreigner." "I mean, this is most..." "'Cause I filmed it." " With film?" " I filmed it." "Oh, that's something." "I mean, foreigners are not allowed there." "Shiva is the destroyer, the God of death and destruction." "Hindus believe that within the holy place, they will be able to literally touch their God, if only for a second, and here I stood on His doorstep, inside the holy of holies, doing something that should have gotten me killed." "This was impossible, yet the God of love opened a way for me enter this place because He had, I think, a very simple message for the world." "We try so hard." "We do so many things." "We go to such great lengths in an effort to touch God, when the truth is He has already sent His Holy Spirit to touch us." ""I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart." "Before the gods, I will sing your praise."" ""For the Lord is the great God, the great King of above all gods."" "We get back, and we get upstairs." "I kind of set this down, and I just start crying to the pastors, and I said, "Thank you so much for what you fought for,"" "because we know that what they've done..." "This isn't...hasn't anything to do with us." "What they fought for is being manifested in the streets, and they said... literally, their words exactly, they said," ""We could have never dreamed for something like this." "Like, we would have never even tried to do what you just did."" "Like, and they showed me these little press passes, and they have these little press passes." "They showed us the press pass and said," ""We carry these just so people won't hurt us as we silently prayer walk the streets, and you went right into the midst of it and walked through the streets, declaring the name of Jesus and freedom," "and no one bothered you." "They actually wanted to join."" "And he said, "We would have never..."" "And then they said, "I do not believe, in the history of our city, that this has ever happened before."" "What?" "Like, who gets to do that stuff, dude?" "We go into 5,000-year-old cities and get to just tell Jesus we love Him." "We walk through a city, declare Jesus, and Hindu gods don't just come crumbling." "They're still in power, but in the Spirit, something has shifted." "We just encouraged the church years ahead of schedule maybe." "I don't know." "Ten years." "I don't know, but all I know is the Christians that walk these streets every single day, who have no names and no popularity, they're not selling any CDs, nobody cares about their sermons," "we just convinced them that God wants to take them farther and deeper than they could have ever gone on their own, and we encouraged them, walked with them, prayed for them, loved on them in a way that nobody even cares about." "But something has shifted in the Spirit, but the truth is, is we don't give enough credit to what's broken in the Spirit, to what God establishes in the Spirit that changes everything and shakes history." "We have barely begun to scratch the surface to who God really is, but what I know is just what the Bible says, that the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power." "And we're good at talking, and we're good at programs, and we're good at putting God in our little boxes, but what if we, collectively as the church, just said," ""Okay, God, no more boxes, no more limits, no more we have to control everything,"" "and we just gave God total control?" "Yeah, it's scary, but I think that's the way that we were meant to live." "This is about participation." "This is a God... three persons who have never done anything by themselves." "This is a God who has never been alone, right?" "There's always been community." "There's always been relationship, and we're made in the image of that God." "We're not designed to do this alone, right?" "So participation becomes the invitation." "It takes risk, right?" "I want certainty." "That's why intellectuality and rationalism and doctrine and theology, which I love, by the way, but that's where we go and hide rather than the mystery and the risk that's involved in relationship." "We talk about all of this "religious" stuff." "People talk and talk and talk, you know, but it's really about a connection, one-on-one." "And God's right here all the time, and He just wants to have a relationship." "Ask, and you'll receive." "Seek, and you'll find." "Knock, and the door will open to you." "If you want an encounter with the Holy Spirit, ask." "Ask, and you'll receive... and then wait for it, because when it comes, you'll know it's Him, and it'll change everything." "I wanted to show you something, something you've never seen before." "Some say He's dead." "Some say He's silent." "Some say He's a figment of my imagination, but my God is real, and I love Him, and the Holy Spirit is here on the Earth so that the world might see and believe that God is good," "that God is love, and that with Him, anything is possible." ""And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age."" "Dude, so what, man?" "Come on, Jesus separates mobs." "There's a Roman mob, and Todd wants to go into the middle of it." "Right in front of the Coliseum, dude!" "This is awesome!" "They need Jesus, man." "Okay." "I'm gonna go through and touch as many people as I can." "If I get punched in the face, it's okay." "Jesus." "God, thank You." "Bless them." "Jesus, get them." "God, thank You." "Let your presence, God." "Jesus' name." "Get them all, God." "Jesus." "Oh, no!" "Can I go through here, please?" "What?" "Yeah, sure." "Jesus!" "Bless them, God!" "Jesus!" "Hey, Jesus, bless them." "God, thank You." "Let me pray for you!" "Will you let me say something on there?" "Can I say something on there?" "Can I use this to speak real quick?" "Yeah, can I do it?" "Come on, man, let me see." "Jesus loves everybody here!" "You guys..." "Jesus!" "Everybody say this with me!" "Ready?" "Jesus!" "Jesus!" "Jesus!" "Holy Ghost Reborn" "Fall 2015"
