00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,200
And I didn't know he's a full-fledged cessationist

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,520
and that he hated Charismatics back then.

3
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:06,600
I didn't know he'd written books about guys like me.

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,960
But I'm driving down the road

5
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,200
and he and I rented a car together, we're riding together.

6
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,920
The guy calls me, a friend of mine, Pastor Shane Warren.

7
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,440
He's like, hey, hey Gibson,

8
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,920
are you ministering with Locke right now?

9
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,680
I'm like, yeah, he's like, he hates guys like you.

10
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,400
So he says on the phone and I'm like, I'm riding by him.

11
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,120
I'm like, well, we're getting along pretty good right now.

12
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,000
You know, things are going.

13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I didn't even know how bad it was freaking Locke out

14
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,240
because we're like driving in the car forever

15
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,560
and flying on planes together.

16
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,080
But I pray in tongues a lot.

17
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,480
And you know, instead of cussing

18
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,320
when somebody pulls over on me in an interstate,

19
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,280
I think it's better.

20
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,400
My flesh wants to cuss.

21
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,200
I think it's better to talk in tongues.

22
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,040
Pastor Brian Gibson, it's great to have you here

23
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:45,880
on Charisma News.

24
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,780
And we've been hearing some amazing things

25
00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:49,560
that God is doing in your church,

26
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,960
but it's actually his church.

27
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,300
I love the name of that church

28
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,400
because you're trying to keep the emphasis

29
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,360
that it is his church, it's God's church.

30
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,520
So welcome here to Charisma News.

31
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,000
Hey, it's an honor to be with you, John.

32
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
What an honor.

33
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,120
And it is his church.

34
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,680
You know, we've hung our hats on Matthew 16, 18.

35
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,000
Jesus said, I will build my church

36
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,360
and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

37
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,240
So that's like the guiding scripture of my life

38
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,040
that everything we do, it's about Jesus.

39
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,040
And we're just trying to stay out of the way

40
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,480
and let him do what he wants to do, man.

41
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,040
But thanks for having me.

42
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:23,920
What an honor.

43
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Amen, amen.

44
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,680
Yeah, it's an honor to have you here

45
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,720
and to talk about the revival that is really happening

46
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,760
at your churches, the different campuses that you have.

47
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,320
And I know that we're gonna talk about this in a little bit,

48
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:40,880
but you just had Jonathan Cahn there and Greg Locke,

49
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,840
which are two of our authors here at Charisma.

50
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,320
And we follow their ministries very closely

51
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:48,900
and we're excited whenever we saw

52
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,240
that you basically had these guys back to back.

53
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,220
And it's not because they were already like scheduled

54
00:01:54,220 --> 00:01:57,420
for something, God has been moving in your church.

55
00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:00,440
And I wanna hear about this revival that's been breaking out

56
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,720
and you've been saying that you've been actually feeling

57
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,440
things like physically too.

58
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,320
So tell us about what God is doing at his church.

59
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Yeah, it's been wild and been incredible.

60
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,520
I'm exhausted.

61
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,240
I've done like two solid weeks

62
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,900
of preaching right now every night, right?

63
00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:19,000
But it's been great.

64
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,160
We had a couple of conferences.

65
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,600
We did have some conferences scheduled, right?

66
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,760
So we got churches in Kentucky, Owensboro, Henderson,

67
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,020
then we have a church in Amarillo, Texas.

68
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,640
So we do a conference on the Texas side,

69
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:33,040
then we'll turn around the next week,

70
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,840
do a conference on the Kentucky side.

71
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,960
But what happened in Texas is I'm there one night

72
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,900
with a friend of mine, I think Daniel,

73
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:44,080
Pastor Daniel Bracken just built the largest church house

74
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,120
in the state of Alaska, a powerful man.

75
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,420
Pastor Shane Warren is in there as well with me,

76
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:54,300
me and my wife, and we're just hanging out in worship.

77
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,720
And man, you could sense and tell the power

78
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,280
of God's coming to the room.

79
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,280
And as I'm standing there, I did feel something like,

80
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,600
I'm real careful with my language like this,

81
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,820
so I don't over sensationalize stuff, but in worship,

82
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:10,440
I physically felt something touch me on the head.

83
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,280
And I opened up my eyes and there's nothing there.

84
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,000
And I didn't say anything to anybody

85
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,640
because I'm like, what is that?

86
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:19,320
Is that a flashback from acid in the 90s?

87
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Was it the spine crack?

88
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,440
Well, my wife, who never took acid, by the way,

89
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,300
she's standing beside me, she's a good kid,

90
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:29,840
preacher's daughter, I was an outlaw that Jesus saved.

91
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,800
She's standing beside me and she turns around

92
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,160
and she says, did you feel that?

93
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Now I'm like, she's like, something just touched me.

94
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,840
And Daniel Bracken, Pastor Daniel,

95
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,280
without us saying anything to him, he said,

96
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,520
man, I think there's angels in here,

97
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,000
something's touched me.

98
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Pastor Shane Warren said the same thing,

99
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,480
all independent of each other.

100
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,200
He's like, something walked by me and just brushed me.

101
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,160
And Pastor Shane said it when he was in the pulpit,

102
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,840
but I'm telling you, like the power and the anointing

103
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,400
and the presence of God just started to settle

104
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,320
into the room and miracles started happening, right?

105
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,860
There's a lady with a blocked aorta,

106
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:08,920
no blood flow into her legs.

107
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,400
And none of us prayed for her,

108
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,440
the ushers prayed for her that night.

109
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,080
And she went back and her aorta was opened up.

110
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Guys that like 10 year rotator cuff issues,

111
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,040
like couldn't get their arm over their head,

112
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,360
claimed that their rotator cuff totally healed.

113
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,040
A kid, I would not suggest this,

114
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,320
that needed reconstructive knee surgery,

115
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,260
an athlete, right, but fairly young,

116
00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:35,620
still strong, working out and stuff,

117
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:37,720
said God touched his knee, went in the next day

118
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,360
and put 350 on the squat rack and did it.

119
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,720
Like, I'm like, I do not suggest doing that, right?

120
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,720
That's not, but miracles, I mean, just started happening.

121
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,120
And people got excited and crowds started coming, right?

122
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:56,080
This is before any names or, you know, any big names,

123
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,840
all of us are, the guys that are there,

124
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:00,180
we're all successful pastors and strong ministry gifts,

125
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:01,020
but not-

126
00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:02,120
Right, you're just having a church conference.

127
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,080
This is not like a big national thing yet.

128
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,840
This is just, you're just having your regular conference.

129
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,080
We're just having church and people start showing up

130
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,420
and people are excited.

131
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,800
I'll tell you what happened to me.

132
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,640
I preached one night, we,

133
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,080
Wednesday night it was supposed to be over,

134
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,860
it was Sunday through Wednesday,

135
00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:24,200
but the power of God was so rich and real,

136
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,480
we said, hey, we gotta keep, Jesus, I mean, we didn't,

137
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,280
I don't know, you know,

138
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,000
we didn't follow any keys to revival,

139
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,280
we didn't pray enough, fast enough or anything.

140
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:36,520
God just showed up to help his people.

141
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,400
And we extended it.

142
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,760
We extended the revival and I was preaching one night

143
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,680
I was preaching, I wanna get people in love with Jesus

144
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,880
again, right?

145
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,920
I mean, that's the only answer we have, right?

146
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,760
Right.

147
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,000
America's messed up.

148
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,640
We need a revival.

149
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,200
There is no political remedy for our nation.

150
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,820
And I'm a fairly political guy, but nobody can fix this.

151
00:05:57,820 --> 00:06:01,040
The only thing that can help this nation is an awakening.

152
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,000
So I don't think like our Republic can be saved

153
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,320
or anything like that at this point,

154
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,120
although I'm still praying and hopeful,

155
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,120
but I do think a revival can change our nation.

156
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,680
And so I was preaching out of where John, you know,

157
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,000
says there's one coming after me,

158
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,360
I'm not even worthy to tie shoes.

159
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,640
I'll baptize you with water,

160
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,920
but there's one coming that will baptize you with fire.

161
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Jesus walks up the next day, right?

162
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,840
It's the next day, John's prophesying.

163
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,000
It says the next day Jesus walks up,

164
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,200
John says, behold the lamb of God,

165
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,000
takes away the sin of the world.

166
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,520
And so I'm preaching, behold the lamb, right?

167
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,400
Look at all, look to the lamb with awe and expectation

168
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,240
and love and wonder, we need to see the lamb.

169
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,320
And I get down and I'm like,

170
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,420
I'm praying for a new passion for Jesus in our church.

171
00:06:48,420 --> 00:06:50,680
And I was laying hands on people in the altar

172
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,680
and I had a mini, I don't know,

173
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,280
I didn't see him with my eyes, let's call it a vision,

174
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,800
whatever you wanna call it, you know, these things are,

175
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,640
people see different, hear different,

176
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,600
we all interact with the spirit of God,

177
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,480
just a little bit different,

178
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,240
because we're people and we're fearfully

179
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,880
and wonderfully made, right?

180
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,480
I'm walking through the altar, I look to my right

181
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
and in my spirit, I see Jesus walking by me.

182
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Wow.

183
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Right, just for a second, it's not with my eyes,

184
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,280
it's with my spirit, with my heart, it's the way I see.

185
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,560
And then he stepped over from beside of me

186
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,520
and he stepped on top of me, right?

187
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,000
And I had buddies watching the live feed

188
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,620
and they started texting my wife,

189
00:07:29,620 --> 00:07:31,720
like something just happened to Brian.

190
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,480
I got so undone when it happened,

191
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,680
like I couldn't stop weeping.

192
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,880
And I had a handkerchief,

193
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,360
because I'm a big boy and my spiritual gift is sweating.

194
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,400
And I took this handkerchief and I just put it over my face

195
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,240
because I didn't really want people to see

196
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,160
how undone it was.

197
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,480
And as I was walking through the altar then,

198
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,120
man, everybody started melting when I got close to him.

199
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Just power God permeates the room.

200
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,040
So I think that kicked it off.

201
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,080
There were some, almost like,

202
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,440
if we're talking about Rabbi Cammel,

203
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,680
call them harbingers, that revival was coming, right?

204
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,560
Couple of months before,

205
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,760
like there's been some real hunger that's hit us

206
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,320
and some real, also brokenness, just to be honest.

207
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,000
We fought hell nationally for several years.

208
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,600
It's why I'm 46, I look like I'm going on 70,

209
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,040
through the lockdowns and became a voice

210
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,840
against government oppression of the church.

211
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,760
But I walked in the church a couple of months ago

212
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,160
and the secretaries came and got me and said,

213
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,080
pastor, there's somebody out front.

214
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,160
We don't know if he's dangerous or not.

215
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Kind of looks crazy.

216
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,880
And he did, he had all the signs up.

217
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,560
He was strung out and he was laid down

218
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:50,680
on the front of the church house, like by the door,

219
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:52,280
just face down.

220
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,880
And I went out there, I had a friend in town,

221
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Pastor Joel DeAngie, helps me pastor now,

222
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,960
so come on staff.

223
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,040
And I was like, Joel, watch,

224
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,200
I don't know what this guy's gonna do

225
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,280
because I've had a lot of death threats throughout the years.

226
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,080
And this guy's down there all strung out.

227
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,440
And I'm like, hey, I walk out, hey man, can I help you?

228
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,400
And he looked up at me and he said, he's weeping.

229
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,440
He said, my mama brought me to this building

230
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,080
when I was a little boy.

231
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,240
And I was across town, he was about 15 miles away.

232
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800
I was across town and I felt like

233
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,200
if I could get to this building, I could find God.

234
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,520
This is what the kid says.

235
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Wow.

236
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,640
And he's hanging on the threshold of the church.

237
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,000
Right.

238
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
So we prayed for him minister to invest we could,

239
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,280
you know what I mean?

240
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,880
Believe God for him and took him where he needed to go.

241
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,520
And I hadn't seen him since, I'm believing God,

242
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,960
God started something in him.

243
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,640
But I think it was kinda like, God's like,

244
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,320
hey, I'm gonna bring the broken and the lost

245
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,160
and the hurting.

246
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,600
It was like a prophetic, prophetic sign to me, if you will.

247
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,600
But it started in Amarillo then it went to Owensboro.

248
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,640
And we did seven days.

249
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Owensboro is our Kentucky location.

250
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,440
Almost I left Amarillo in the middle

251
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,720
of a Sunday morning service,

252
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,200
cause you know, American Airlines owns you

253
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120
out in West Texas, the only way you're getting out

254
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,920
unless you wanna take a horse across the desert out here.

255
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,280
But we're flying out and man, people,

256
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,320
the power got so strong in the room.

257
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,680
I have to leave right then.

258
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:25,160
And we get to Owensboro and the same stuff

259
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,360
starts happening there.

260
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Same stuff starts happening.

261
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,440
So it's rolling.

262
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,240
God's doing something.

263
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,080
Wow.

264
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,920
So what were some of the things that were being preached

265
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,040
that were, what were some themes

266
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,800
that might have been able to spark this revival?

267
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,360
Then the strongest theme I know,

268
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,680
I'll say this, Pastor Daniel Bracken started preaching

269
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,760
about just believing God for bigger.

270
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,040
And he does have a real, he's like a,

271
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,760
he's a wrecking ball, just to be honest, and a faith man.

272
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,800
And he's just fought hell to build up.

273
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,800
It's like a 75,000 square foot building in Wasilla, Alaska.

274
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,440
His church is King's Chapel, but it was like,

275
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,960
he fought hell at a higher level.

276
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,360
Alaska, you only have so many months to build, right?

277
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,680
And if you can't get it built then,

278
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,880
you gotta wait till everything falls out.

279
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,960
I mean, it's a real deal.

280
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,920
And so it's been seven years him fighting the hell.

281
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,640
And I think he's got an uncommon faith.

282
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,440
And I think he was releasing that to the people to believe,

283
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,080
but that was massive.

284
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,680
I'll say this, like Jesus,

285
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,320
people were preaching spirit baptism, right?

286
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,480
People were preaching somewhat about the controversy

287
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,840
between the Jews and Palestine right now.

288
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,680
Okay.

289
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,880
Tied it back into Haman,

290
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,080
wanting to kill the Jews in the book of Esther,

291
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,720
and how there's a demonic warfare around.

292
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,400
But I'll say this, we had some great speakers in Owensboro.

293
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,000
We had Rabbi Khan, and we had Greg Locke.

294
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,360
Greg Locke's flying in tonight

295
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,160
to preach in Amarillo as well.

296
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,640
Oh, wow.

297
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,720
And Khan preached the return of the gods,

298
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,360
which is where we are as a culture right now.

299
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,600
Where it's about the old God Testament false gods

300
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,760
are really just demon powers, right?

301
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,680
Molech and the Asteroth and Baal.

302
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,280
And you see what they're doing in the culture right now

303
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,280
with the lies coming to our children

304
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,200
about all the LGBTQ stuff.

305
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,320
Also the blood, I mean, I call it blood sacrifice,

306
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,120
the abortion all over the world.

307
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,280
It's what it is, right?

308
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,400
Khan does a great job teaching that.

309
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,640
So I think that was touching hearts.

310
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,320
And I'll say this, one night,

311
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,280
I didn't have a big guest speaker,

312
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,840
and we got things going forward.

313
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,800
And I'm trying to pray,

314
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,520
who do I get over here to help me run this revival?

315
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,440
And Jesus spoke to me and he said,

316
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,680
can I be your special guest tonight?

317
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,600
And I'm like, yeah, Lord,

318
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,960
I would love to host you more than anybody else.

319
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,680
And so the big names showed up and they're awesome.

320
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,480
I love those guys, men of God, right?

321
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,440
But when people just came for nobody but Jesus,

322
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:22,040
it's pretty special, you know?

323
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,040
It's pretty special.

324
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,880
I don't say that to God.

325
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,520
The rabbi is a dear friend and great teacher.

326
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,600
I mean, I learned so much from him after the service,

327
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,760
blowing my mind.

328
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,000
It's just like, he knows more.

329
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,920
He's forgotten more than I've ever learned.

330
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,720
And then Locke's got an authority over the devil right now

331
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,320
that's hit another level.

332
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,920
And we go back.

333
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,000
I mean, he and I go back for some time now.

334
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,840
And-

335
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,400
I want you to share a little bit of that story

336
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,720
of how you and Pastor Greg Locke

337
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,840
have been doing some ministry together over the years.

338
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,120
But we'll save that for a little bit later.

339
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,680
But continue to tell me about what God's doing now.

340
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,240
Yeah, yeah, Jesus,

341
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,040
he just said, can I be your special guest?

342
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,720
And so I'm trying to keep it Jesus-focused

343
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,400
and Jesus-centered the revival, right?

344
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,000
And I'm trying to make sure we don't get in the way of it.

345
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,320
So like even other friends I've got that move so powerfully

346
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,480
like in the word of knowledge and stuff like that,

347
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,720
I got friends that can come in

348
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,480
and I travel with them pretty extensively.

349
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,760
Doesn't matter where we go.

350
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,240
Like some of these guys know,

351
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,560
they know everybody's name and what they're dealing with

352
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,800
and their job.

353
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,080
And I'm talking crazy, crazy gifts of the Spirit.

354
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,720
I love to see that operate.

355
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,640
But people can get like so wowed by that

356
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,080
that they forget what we came for.

357
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:43,920
We didn't come for the gift.

358
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760
We came for the one that gives the gift, right?

359
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320
And I want us to stay focused on that.

360
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
But in the middle of it, like in Owensboro,

361
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,800
I'll say this Owensboro, Kentucky,

362
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,200
I've never seen the level of demon possession

363
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,440
or oppression or whatever you want to call it.

364
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,280
I don't care what you call it.

365
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Just let's say people that the devil is tormenting.

366
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Like they're in the service.

367
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,760
And this is before Locke gets there, who's a big demon guy.

368
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,240
Just like we're walking in the church building

369
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,760
and people that are oppressed of the devil

370
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,800
are running to us around the building.

371
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360
Me and one of my friends, Pastor Shane Warren,

372
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,680
pray for me, pray.

373
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,440
I got these issues and you can tell when it's demonic,

374
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,280
it's different, right?

375
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,520
Just total spirit of fear and freaked out.

376
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,280
And then we get in the service.

377
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,120
And like I'll give you an example.

378
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,520
One night I called people up.

379
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,560
People have been getting healed,

380
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,040
like 20 people getting testified in the church.

381
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,880
They just received healing.

382
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Our teams praying for them and God's moving.

383
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,200
And then I call people up for salvation

384
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,080
before Khan ever speaks.

385
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,480
And I got words of knowledge on several of these people

386
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,320
that are up there.

387
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,360
And I get to one and full-fledged manifests of devil,

388
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,720
start screaming out, falls on the ground,

389
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,840
almost right in front of Khan's on the,

390
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,320
sitting on the front row.

391
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,760
And we minister to him and there's kids getting saved

392
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,080
in this altar call too.

393
00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,920
And they're looking, you know,

394
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,920
not everybody's seen a devil just cried out and screaming.

395
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,960
And I'm like, don't pay attention to that, honey.

396
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,600
That's just a devil.

397
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,160
We're gonna focus on Jesus.

398
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,240
Pastor comes out, I mean,

399
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,600
I'm trying to pass for these teenagers.

400
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,920
They get freaked out.

401
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,560
But I'm like, that was happening four or five times a night.

402
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,400
I don't know.

403
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,520
Like I pastored in Owensboro,

404
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,760
pioneered a church there in 0405.

405
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,920
And I don't know what's,

406
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,040
it's always been a witchy kind of city,

407
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,160
to be honest, for Kentucky.

408
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,800
It's an old river town.

409
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,040
And a lot of times I think those type of,

410
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,520
I don't know, you know, occultic stuff or witch stuff,

411
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,160
palm readers, all that kind of stuff

412
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,840
that comes and demonizes a city,

413
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,160
went down the river ways early on.

414
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,160
And you can find it in old river towns.

415
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Used to, I rented an office from people

416
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,960
that owned the first New Age store in that town.

417
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,520
But it's gone to another level now.

418
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,960
And I don't know, I think it's that coupled with the drugs

419
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,360
and the fentanyl coming up from our southern border.

420
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,160
I think there's a lot of occult practices

421
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,960
in the cartel thing, right?

422
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,600
You know, they got their patron saint of drug running,

423
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,680
they pray to.

424
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Then they employ a lot of witches

425
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,200
to pray over the dope and stuff.

426
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,720
And I mean, you don't go to any major city in America

427
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,520
right now without seeing fentanyl junkies

428
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,520
and meth heads on every corner.

429
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,320
But in a little town of 50,000,

430
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:24,880
it really sticks out, right?

431
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,640
Cause it's a small place.

432
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,280
And the town is getting like that.

433
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,600
So when we start preaching the gospel over there,

434
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,320
man, the demons just crowd of people

435
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,520
and they've gotten demonized.

436
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,520
Jesus is setting them free.

437
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,120
But it's even just going down to the like walking in town

438
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:43,240
by myself, demon possessed people are finding me everywhere

439
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,360
during the day.

440
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:46,000
So I mean, my wife is like,

441
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,440
this is getting out of control, Brian.

442
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,360
Like I'm walking and demon possessed people

443
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:51,760
are screaming at me from the top of parking garages

444
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,280
and stuff and coming up and trying to talk to me.

445
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,880
We're ministering Jesus to them.

446
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,280
Cause when you're talking to people like that,

447
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,560
there's two entities you're talking to.

448
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,080
There's the human in there, right?

449
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,320
That is drawn to you and drawn to the Jesus in you

450
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,160
really cause they need deliverance.

451
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,120
And then there's the demon that is possessed

452
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:11,160
and vexed them.

453
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,760
And a lot of Christians aren't used to that,

454
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,280
but it's all over the New Testament.

455
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,160
They'll try on Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

456
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,120
They'd learn something about the Jesus who breaks chains.

457
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:20,560
Yeah, absolutely.

458
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,240
And I know that, you just mentioned that pastor Greg Locke,

459
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,200
God's using him mightily in deliverance right now.

460
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,560
But when you guys first started working together

461
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,720
and ministering together,

462
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,880
he, brother, you were a big part of him,

463
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,760
coming to the knowledge of the Holy Spirit

464
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,400
and leaving his cessationist ways behind.

465
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,600
Could you tell me, could you tell us a little bit about

466
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,040
early Greg Locke and what you see now

467
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,280
and the transformation that's been happening?

468
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,600
Yeah, I used to see Locke,

469
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,760
he blew up on Facebook years ago.

470
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,800
And I'm a bit outspoken too

471
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,640
and people would send me videos of him.

472
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,440
And at the time I'm like, whatever, you know.

473
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,000
But Locke and I got,

474
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,800
we started pushing back against the lockdowns

475
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,880
and he got loud and I was loud.

476
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,520
And yeah, I think back then I was on some of Charisma

477
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,320
podcast back then with the strength, right?

478
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,360
So I did some over that and Locke's around,

479
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:24,280
around voices back then like Pastor Rodney Howard Brown

480
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,640
was a voice at the time.

481
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,880
There were different guys.

482
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,400
What's his name out in California?

483
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,400
Jack Hibbs became a voice, Rob McCoy became a voice in that.

484
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,480
The guy down in Louisiana, they kept arresting,

485
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,040
I forget his name, but he became a voice during the time.

486
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,360
That brother held the line.

487
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:44,440
I gotta say about him, he held the line.

488
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,440
I don't know him, but I'll tip my hat to him.

489
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,440
But we were doing a rally in Kentucky,

490
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,560
in Frankfort at the Capitol.

491
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,840
And I called Locke and said, Locke, why don't you come over?

492
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,000
You know, I know you're with us aligned on this politically.

493
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,240
And like, there's Mike Pence's fly again,

494
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,480
aligned with us politically.

495
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,200
Cause we don't think the government should,

496
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,080
we don't think politicians tell prophets what to do.

497
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,120
I think prophets tell politicians what to do.

498
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,920
And I don't care what, whatever they're selling,

499
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:16,760
I'm not smoking.

500
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,120
I got a first amendment right to keep the church open.

501
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:20,600
I don't care what's happening.

502
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,200
And so Locke goes on the road with me

503
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,840
and we preach in like 30 states together.

504
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,640
And I didn't know he's a full fledged cessationist

505
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,920
and that he hated Charismatics back then.

506
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,000
I didn't know he'd written books about guys like me,

507
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,360
but I'm driving down the road

508
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:36,520
and he and I rented a car together, we're riding together.

509
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,320
And a guy calls me, a friend of mine, Pastor Shane Warren.

510
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,800
And he's like, hey, Gibson,

511
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,320
are you ministering with Locke right now?

512
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,120
I'm like, yeah, he's like, he hates guys like you.

513
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,800
So he says on the phone and I'm like, I'm riding by him.

514
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,760
I'm like, well, we're getting along pretty good right now.

515
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,400
Things are going.

516
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,400
I didn't even know how bad I was freaking Locke out

517
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,560
because we're like driving in the car forever

518
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,920
and flying on planes together.

519
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,440
But I pray in tongues a lot.

520
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,360
And instead of cussing when somebody pulls over on me

521
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:06,640
in an interstate, I think it's better.

522
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,800
My flesh wants to cuss.

523
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,960
I think it's better to talk in tongues.

524
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,880
And my wife's a lot happier with me

525
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,680
when I talk in tongues instead of cussing.

526
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,520
So it's a habit.

527
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,200
I just pray in tongues and I remember Locke looking over

528
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,840
at me like what in the world's happening?

529
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,160
But he would watch us and I would give words

530
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,440
and knowledge and prophesy as we were traveling.

531
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,560
And he kind of figured out, he's like,

532
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,000
man, this guy's not crazy,

533
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,520
at least not totally crazy, right?

534
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,000
And God was already speaking to him.

535
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,800
He's looking in the Bible.

536
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,520
And so Locke saw that what we were doing, that it's real.

537
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,560
And the spirit of God was working on him.

538
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,760
I think there was kind of culmination of that.

539
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,880
And Locke tells this story,

540
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,520
I think it's in one of his books.

541
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,480
He comes over to my church house in Owensboro,

542
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,120
the church we pastor.

543
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:52,480
I always call it the church house

544
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,720
because it's not the church, right?

545
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,440
It's where the church meets.

546
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,280
So-

547
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,100
I like how you'd make that distinction.

548
00:21:57,100 --> 00:21:57,940
That's good.

549
00:21:57,940 --> 00:21:58,780
Yeah, yeah.

550
00:21:58,780 --> 00:21:59,620
I try to help people theologically like that.

551
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:00,920
It's the church house.

552
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,960
And I had a friend of mine from Columbia.

553
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,600
He's a prophet, Gustavo Piaz.

554
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Piaz is like the highest level male reader

555
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,360
I've ever seen in my life, right?

556
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:14,000
It's like, holy moly, this is insane.

557
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,160
So he tells Locke almost everything

558
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,060
he's ever done in his life,

559
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:19,880
prophesies over all of his children,

560
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,560
Locke's childhood, all this stuff, and Locke's just undone.

561
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,800
And I think that changed everything

562
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,360
in their life and ministry.

563
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:29,600
So he wrote a book about it.

564
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,280
I think y'all carry the book.

565
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,960
It's maybe accessing or anointing,

566
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,800
or it's something about the anointing.

567
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,440
I don't know, maybe, maybe not.

568
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,240
But all of our books got these anointing titles.

569
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,400
So it's some book with anointing in the title.

570
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,280
So in the book, he tells the story

571
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,200
of how God touched him that way.

572
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,480
And then he comes to our church

573
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,200
and he's preaching about that.

574
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,760
And demons start screaming out in the room, all right?

575
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,440
So there's like five or six of them that night,

576
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,740
which was uncommon at the time.

577
00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:03,720
It seems more common right now.

578
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,240
I think our culture with all the crazy stuff

579
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,120
that's been loosed in our culture,

580
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:12,480
with the sexual, you know, just green light.

581
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,720
You can be a trisexual, try whatever you want.

582
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,560
You know, and us applauding, not us,

583
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,720
but people applauding it in our school systems.

584
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,720
It's getting more demonized.

585
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,120
But that night people were screaming out and stuff,

586
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,720
and Locke didn't know what to do with them at the time.

587
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,000
And there's a woman like manifesting on the front row.

588
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,680
You know, she's dancing, she's doing all kinds of weird,

589
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:31,880
devils come to distract.

590
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,180
So it's kind of sensual what she's doing

591
00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:35,440
and she's manifesting.

592
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,360
And I walked down right in front of Locke and the woman,

593
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:40,600
and I'm like, come out of her in Jesus name.

594
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,200
And she goes down and starts to ride them

595
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,120
and the devil starts coming out of her.

596
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:45,680
And afterwards I'm like, hey, Locke,

597
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,360
do you see all those demons screaming in the service

598
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,000
when you started preaching?

599
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,400
I'm like, I'm pretty sure God's doing something here

600
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,800
and he wants to use you to set the demon disaster free.

601
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,520
And it was a prophetic moment in Locke's life.

602
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,380
I think he talks about it in one of the recent books.

603
00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:05,900
And then there were other things coupled with that.

604
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,100
And then he dove in, he went all the way in, right?

605
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:10,720
He started studying all the, everybody

606
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,060
and all these other guys, this is what they do.

607
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:18,060
I'm a pastor, I'm not just a specialist in deliverance

608
00:24:19,060 --> 00:24:21,740
or specialist in the prophetic or you know what I mean?

609
00:24:21,740 --> 00:24:25,180
I'm a general practitioner, I'm a pastor, church planner.

610
00:24:25,180 --> 00:24:27,660
But he got in deep and God's used him.

611
00:24:27,660 --> 00:24:31,020
I mean, the books come out, the movie, millions of watch.

612
00:24:31,020 --> 00:24:32,860
And the guys he had on there,

613
00:24:36,380 --> 00:24:38,420
when you first get into a movement like that

614
00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:39,980
and you don't know everybody,

615
00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:42,340
some of the voices you get connected with are good voices,

616
00:24:42,340 --> 00:24:43,600
some are bad voices.

617
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:45,980
He invited me to preach

618
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:48,500
at that first deliverance conference he had

619
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:51,820
and I didn't want to go because I didn't know all the guys

620
00:24:51,820 --> 00:24:54,700
and I'm real careful who I link arms with, right?

621
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:56,900
Maybe I'm a little looser than I used to be now

622
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:01,700
because, but anyway, Locke's learned some lessons

623
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:05,780
in that area, God teaches us all lessons.

624
00:25:05,780 --> 00:25:07,980
And a lot of people will judge you

625
00:25:07,980 --> 00:25:10,360
on something you did a couple of years ago

626
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:12,700
when you're a different man now.

627
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:14,260
And Locke's a different man

628
00:25:14,260 --> 00:25:16,300
and God's changing him every day.

629
00:25:17,180 --> 00:25:20,820
I love him, I'm committed to him as a man and a man of God.

630
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:24,740
And I'm thankful that we got to be a little part

631
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:27,300
of the story that what God's doing in him.

632
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:29,260
Amen, amen, that's exciting.

633
00:25:29,260 --> 00:25:30,260
Thank you for sharing that.

634
00:25:30,260 --> 00:25:33,180
And I want to, we're kind of coming down,

635
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:35,740
coming towards the end of this interview right now,

636
00:25:35,740 --> 00:25:37,220
which I think this is going to be the first

637
00:25:37,220 --> 00:25:40,060
of many interviews because I just enjoy talking with you

638
00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:41,380
and hearing what God's doing.

639
00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:45,280
But I want to hear, you've been able to sustain this revival

640
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,580
in these two different areas

641
00:25:46,580 --> 00:25:48,420
or actually a couple of different areas

642
00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:51,140
for a little while now.

643
00:25:51,140 --> 00:25:53,600
What is it, I mean, we talked about what sparked it,

644
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,260
but what are you believing is going to sustain this revival?

645
00:25:58,260 --> 00:26:01,620
Well, number one, I have no idea what I'm doing, all right?

646
00:26:01,620 --> 00:26:03,320
Just put that out there, right?

647
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,940
I've never tried, I just don't know what I'm doing.

648
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:08,180
But God's doing something.

649
00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:09,820
I mean, I'm not an idiot, not a total idiot,

650
00:26:09,820 --> 00:26:12,380
but I don't know what I'm doing right now.

651
00:26:12,380 --> 00:26:15,220
I think I've been talking to guys

652
00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:18,320
that have had these kinds of revivals that keep going.

653
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,860
Because we've been successful planning churches

654
00:26:20,860 --> 00:26:22,240
and we've always moved into gifts,

655
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,020
but never an extended revival.

656
00:26:24,020 --> 00:26:26,840
First one, I'm 20 years into this.

657
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:32,300
So I know this, passion for Jesus is paramount.

658
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:34,100
So I'm trying to keep him centered.

659
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:35,460
Now keep reminding the crowd,

660
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:38,380
hey, tonight we have a special guest, right?

661
00:26:38,380 --> 00:26:41,300
Tonight we have a special guest.

662
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:44,300
And his name is Jesus.

663
00:26:44,300 --> 00:26:45,140
There's no other guest,

664
00:26:45,140 --> 00:26:47,260
there's nobody else I want to host.

665
00:26:47,260 --> 00:26:49,820
I know, I'm going to eat with one of the pastors

666
00:26:49,820 --> 00:26:53,740
of the largest church in the world, like on what is tonight,

667
00:26:53,740 --> 00:26:55,700
on the 31st.

668
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:57,380
I sat with all those guys, knew all those guys,

669
00:26:57,380 --> 00:27:00,340
knew Dr. Joe before he went to heaven.

670
00:27:00,340 --> 00:27:01,700
The old generals, I know all those guys.

671
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:04,180
I loved them all, appreciate them.

672
00:27:04,180 --> 00:27:06,460
But there's nobody like Jesus.

673
00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:11,180
So CEOs, I know them, presidents, families, I know them.

674
00:27:11,180 --> 00:27:12,740
I want to know Jesus.

675
00:27:12,740 --> 00:27:15,500
So I keep that, I'm trying to keep that first and foremost,

676
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,240
number one, try not to touch it,

677
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,060
get in the way, not mess it up.

678
00:27:19,060 --> 00:27:22,740
Secondly, I think we got to pray more, right?

679
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:25,420
I mean, this is just Christianity 101.

680
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:28,900
Attacks come, right?

681
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:31,860
I got some real lessons during the lockdowns.

682
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:34,980
I got involved politically about keeping the church open

683
00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:37,720
and it wasn't just a local church fight.

684
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,380
It was like a national governance fight.

685
00:27:40,380 --> 00:27:42,780
And people say new level, new devil.

686
00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:47,780
I learned that at a higher level than I've ever experienced.

687
00:27:47,780 --> 00:27:48,620
Right?

688
00:27:48,620 --> 00:27:50,940
So I want to get people praying for us.

689
00:27:50,940 --> 00:27:55,500
Like even last night, like I was, I'm moving slow

690
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:56,940
because middle of the night, I get a call

691
00:27:56,940 --> 00:27:59,580
and the devil attacked my brother's health last night.

692
00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:02,540
My brother went down in front of his wife,

693
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:05,740
got up straight up out of bed, threw up,

694
00:28:05,740 --> 00:28:08,340
said, call the ambulance, something's bad wrong with me.

695
00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:09,540
He's not that kind of guy.

696
00:28:09,540 --> 00:28:12,460
So we were all up praying in the spirit, he's in Kentucky.

697
00:28:12,460 --> 00:28:15,460
I'm in Texas and we're up binding and loosening last night

698
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:17,220
at like two in the morning.

699
00:28:17,220 --> 00:28:21,340
And the devil, you know, you just get uncommon attacks

700
00:28:21,340 --> 00:28:22,900
when stuff like this is happening.

701
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,620
Don't fear it, right?

702
00:28:24,620 --> 00:28:25,580
We don't have a spirit of fear.

703
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:27,300
We have authority over the devil,

704
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:30,620
but raising up that shield of faith with prayer.

705
00:28:30,620 --> 00:28:33,340
We need people praying for us, praying for our team,

706
00:28:33,340 --> 00:28:35,780
praying for safety, praying for protection.

707
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:37,580
I think prayer's big there.

708
00:28:37,580 --> 00:28:41,100
I think gospel preaching, simple gospel.

709
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:42,860
The ultimate form of spiritual warfare

710
00:28:42,860 --> 00:28:46,900
is the verbal proclamation of the gospel, the kerygma.

711
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:47,740
Right?

712
00:28:47,740 --> 00:28:49,500
The coming Messiah, death, burial, resurrection,

713
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,420
repent, believe, come on, he's coming back.

714
00:28:52,420 --> 00:28:55,180
I think preaching that feeds any revival.

715
00:28:55,180 --> 00:28:59,220
And I think just learning to steward it well.

716
00:28:59,220 --> 00:29:00,980
I think what we're going to is we'll probably do

717
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:04,580
three days a week in both locations, right?

718
00:29:04,580 --> 00:29:06,940
I like do a week over here, three days,

719
00:29:06,940 --> 00:29:08,580
then take it over here.

720
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:11,620
And right now it feels like wherever we go,

721
00:29:11,620 --> 00:29:14,020
revival's going with us, which is crazy.

722
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:17,420
Like one of my campus pastors, Pastor Jordan Chrysley

723
00:29:17,420 --> 00:29:20,020
in Owensboro went to a funeral this week

724
00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:21,380
in the middle of this revival.

725
00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:24,340
A guy, I don't know, I forgot what killed him, young guy.

726
00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:27,180
Small group, like, I don't know, 75 people in the room,

727
00:29:27,180 --> 00:29:30,100
20 people got saved in the funeral, right?

728
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:32,980
My wife went to the salon, right?

729
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:35,500
Because her anointing is like when she gets her hair done

730
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:37,260
and her nails done and all that stuff.

731
00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:39,900
So she's in the salon, and my wife's a better preacher

732
00:29:39,900 --> 00:29:41,860
than I am, she's a fireball.

733
00:29:41,860 --> 00:29:45,660
But they are asking, we do a lot of trips to Israel,

734
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:48,020
and they're asking, hey, what's happening in Israel?

735
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:49,660
Is this the end, the girls?

736
00:29:49,660 --> 00:29:50,580
Is Jesus coming back?

737
00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:52,540
And she, is Jesus coming back?

738
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:54,060
And three or four of the hairdressers,

739
00:29:54,060 --> 00:29:55,900
she has an altar call in the salon,

740
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:58,500
they get born again in the salon, right?

741
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,180
This Sunday in our Henderson campus,

742
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:03,060
we baptized over 60 people this Sunday

743
00:30:03,060 --> 00:30:05,700
from the revival in our campus.

744
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:08,540
So Henderson, we just pioneered that church,

745
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:09,940
I don't know, three years ago,

746
00:30:09,940 --> 00:30:11,780
and it's hitting about 300 people on the Sunday

747
00:30:11,780 --> 00:30:12,780
in the morning right now.

748
00:30:12,780 --> 00:30:14,900
And it'd be bigger, but the church is too small,

749
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:15,900
we need a miracle.

750
00:30:15,900 --> 00:30:18,740
So they're baptizing 10 people over there,

751
00:30:18,740 --> 00:30:22,460
and 11 more people that are just in the room that get saved

752
00:30:22,460 --> 00:30:24,020
decide they need to get water baptized,

753
00:30:24,020 --> 00:30:28,140
run up and get baptized in their good clothes,

754
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:29,820
walk home wet.

755
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:33,220
Pastor John Tatum was doing that in Henderson.

756
00:30:33,220 --> 00:30:35,620
We just want to, we need an awakening,

757
00:30:35,620 --> 00:30:37,980
we need no revival, we need, we revival,

758
00:30:37,980 --> 00:30:39,780
and I believe this, I believe revival isn't coming,

759
00:30:39,780 --> 00:30:41,140
I believe it's here.

760
00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:42,740
It will operate in it,

761
00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:45,820
and we'll walk humbly before the Lord.

762
00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:49,180
And I think God, you know, in a lot of ways,

763
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:52,020
He allowed us to be broken over the last few years,

764
00:30:52,020 --> 00:30:54,340
so He could pour out a blessing,

765
00:30:54,340 --> 00:30:56,780
and we just want to do it well.

766
00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:57,620
Amen.

767
00:30:57,620 --> 00:30:59,740
You know, Pastor Brian, as you're talking about this

768
00:30:59,740 --> 00:31:00,900
and you're sharing those stories,

769
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:04,460
I'm reminded of the passage in Acts where the,

770
00:31:04,460 --> 00:31:05,860
I forget what town it was,

771
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:08,180
but they said the people that have turned the world

772
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:10,540
upside down have come here as well.

773
00:31:10,540 --> 00:31:13,580
And so the revival, we're going with them,

774
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:14,780
and what you're seeing,

775
00:31:14,780 --> 00:31:17,140
and as you said it so eloquently earlier,

776
00:31:17,140 --> 00:31:18,980
is that no matter where we're going,

777
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:20,820
the revival is gonna break out.

778
00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:23,620
And there's faith in that declaration,

779
00:31:23,620 --> 00:31:25,140
and there's faith in that,

780
00:31:25,140 --> 00:31:28,220
because we know that revival's not isolated

781
00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:30,580
to a physical location.

782
00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:32,060
Revival can go with you,

783
00:31:32,060 --> 00:31:33,580
because it's the Holy Spirit moving,

784
00:31:33,580 --> 00:31:35,140
it's drawing people to Jesus.

785
00:31:35,140 --> 00:31:37,380
We know that nobody comes to Jesus

786
00:31:37,380 --> 00:31:39,500
unless the Holy Spirit draws them.

787
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,700
And Jesus is our special guest.

788
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:43,820
And Pastor Brian, we talked about prayer,

789
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:46,820
and I want to ask you to pray for those that are watching,

790
00:31:46,820 --> 00:31:50,980
that they would really treat Jesus as a special guest.

791
00:31:50,980 --> 00:31:53,220
And however it is that you want to pray,

792
00:31:53,220 --> 00:31:55,580
I just want to kind of release you for that.

793
00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:58,180
And I just believe that there can be revival

794
00:31:58,180 --> 00:32:01,180
breaking out from people watching this interview,

795
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:02,420
that this video right now,

796
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,700
and as they share that with their friends and family,

797
00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:06,860
that they can be a part of this revival.

798
00:32:06,860 --> 00:32:09,020
Would you just pray for them right now?

799
00:32:09,020 --> 00:32:10,220
Amen, I love that, John.

800
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:11,740
I love what you said about these men

801
00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:13,580
that have turned the world upside down

802
00:32:13,580 --> 00:32:14,940
from the book of Acts.

803
00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:15,780
I believe that.

804
00:32:15,780 --> 00:32:18,220
I want to pray along those lines.

805
00:32:18,220 --> 00:32:19,660
And I can feel the power,

806
00:32:19,660 --> 00:32:23,420
the physical power of God on me right now for revival,

807
00:32:23,420 --> 00:32:24,860
and that's Jesus.

808
00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:27,420
So Lord, we come boldly to your throne right now

809
00:32:27,420 --> 00:32:30,540
in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

810
00:32:30,540 --> 00:32:32,020
We thank you that he's the healer.

811
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:34,180
We thank you that he's the chain breaker.

812
00:32:34,180 --> 00:32:36,940
We thank you that he's the one that sends revival.

813
00:32:36,940 --> 00:32:40,540
He is the one that baptizes in Holy Spirit fire.

814
00:32:40,540 --> 00:32:42,660
Right now, Father, we pray that we would be like the book

815
00:32:42,660 --> 00:32:45,340
of Acts, men and women, that everywhere we go,

816
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:47,100
that your name would be lifted up

817
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:49,140
and that you would be the special guest.

818
00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:52,060
So Father, I pray now you would come and bless John

819
00:32:52,060 --> 00:32:52,900
and his household.

820
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:54,420
You would bless the organization

821
00:32:54,420 --> 00:32:56,140
that he represents, Charisma.

822
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:59,460
I pray right now as well that you would continue your work

823
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:01,060
in the churches we lead

824
00:33:01,060 --> 00:33:04,380
and that it would roll over to other churches.

825
00:33:04,380 --> 00:33:07,980
I declare my cup runneth over from Psalm 23

826
00:33:07,980 --> 00:33:09,980
and let it go all over the state of Texas.

827
00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:12,260
Let it go all over Kentucky, Tennessee,

828
00:33:12,260 --> 00:33:14,820
all over the Southeast, into California,

829
00:33:14,820 --> 00:33:16,380
into Seattle, Washington.

830
00:33:16,380 --> 00:33:19,620
Father, I declare revival fire is coming

831
00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:21,580
and flowing and moving.

832
00:33:21,580 --> 00:33:23,260
Right now, I thank you that in this revival,

833
00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:25,140
you're tapping on the shoulders

834
00:33:25,140 --> 00:33:26,980
and the heads of young men and women.

835
00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:29,540
Father, I pray you raise up prophets and pastors

836
00:33:29,540 --> 00:33:32,740
and teachers and apostles and that you raise up kings

837
00:33:32,740 --> 00:33:35,380
that are business leaders and they're in the marketplace

838
00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:36,300
making a difference.

839
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:37,820
Raise up priests, Father,

840
00:33:37,820 --> 00:33:40,060
those that take care of the house of God.

841
00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:42,700
Lord, I thank you that revival's coming

842
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:44,900
and the dead things are living again.

843
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:48,220
I say the fire of God and the breath of God are blowing

844
00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:50,340
over dead things, Father.

845
00:33:50,340 --> 00:33:54,340
Dead bones and dry bones are raising up even now.

846
00:33:54,340 --> 00:33:56,260
I know that there's a rise of the beast system

847
00:33:56,260 --> 00:33:57,420
all over the world,

848
00:33:57,420 --> 00:34:00,180
but I thank you that there's a rise of the bride

849
00:34:00,180 --> 00:34:02,140
that's even stronger right now.

850
00:34:02,140 --> 00:34:05,420
I thank you that the bride is more powerful than the beast.

851
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:09,140
I declare the bride is more powerful than the beast.

852
00:34:09,140 --> 00:34:12,740
I said the bride is more powerful than the beast.

853
00:34:12,740 --> 00:34:16,660
So empower your bride, give them passion for Jesus,

854
00:34:16,660 --> 00:34:18,180
touch them and change them.

855
00:34:18,180 --> 00:34:21,620
Lord, signs, wonders, miracles, salvations,

856
00:34:21,620 --> 00:34:24,420
let them flow, let that anointing hit every leader,

857
00:34:24,420 --> 00:34:25,540
every church person,

858
00:34:25,540 --> 00:34:28,820
every just Jesus-honoring person watching.

859
00:34:28,820 --> 00:34:30,620
We say there's a new authority.

860
00:34:30,620 --> 00:34:32,140
Say revival's not coming.

861
00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:35,940
Revival is here, in Jesus' name.

862
00:34:36,780 --> 00:34:37,900
Amen.

863
00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:38,900
Amen.

864
00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:41,620
Pastor Brian Gibson of His Church,

865
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:45,380
thank you so much for being here on Charisma News

866
00:34:45,380 --> 00:34:47,620
to talk about what God is doing.

867
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:50,580
This is powerful and I love hearing what God's doing

868
00:34:50,580 --> 00:34:52,780
and I can't wait to hear more from you

869
00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:54,900
