Holy Disruption With Heather Schott | Islam vs. Christianity

If Islam was able to infiltrate, indoctrinate, and take over Egypt, what makes you think that cannot happen to America? They want the grace of God, the wrath of God. They want tolerance and no repentance. And you look at this movement and you're like, this is not Christianity. We are so close. We are potentially one more election away of losing our freedoms in this great nation. They're happy for you to be a Christian in the church, but you cannot be a Christian outside of the church. Their Christ is our Antichrist, and our Antichrist is their Christ. If a Muslim becomes a Christian, they can get killed on the street by the Muslim Brotherhood, or they will go to jail. I'm sorry to interrupt you. I have wondered for a long time. The next generation has been infiltrated, indoctrinated, and they don't even know it. We are in post-Christian America, and that is the reason killing babies is up for debate. Hello, everybody. Heather Schott here, your host of Holy Disruption. And I have an awesome episode planned for you today. I know you are going to learn so much because I have an incredible guest with me all the way from Sydney, Australia, Andrew Sedra. Thank you for being here. Thank you for the honor, Heather. We are here in Texas. We love what the Lord is doing through you guys here in Mercy Culture. It is a reformation. It is a revival. And it is definitely a practical revolution of the fear of the Lord, which is amazing. I love what the Lord is doing here, that it's not just some spiritual Buddhism, but the Lord is actually moving your hand and your mouth after your heart, which is amazing.

We live in a moment of time. I believe that the church has been so disengaged, silent for a very, very long time. And you look at the nation around you and somehow in the last 30 years, we had the biggest churches, yet the most ungodly culture. Somehow the church was growing, but freedom was shrinking. Somehow we're getting bigger buildings, but the Spirit of God is not outside of the church. And we have to look back and be like, hey, we cannot keep Jesus in the church anymore. America, the nation of the free, is the most silent in a time and period when the church should be the most bold with the freedoms that we have. We totally take it for granted in America, do we not? Yeah, 100%. America is technically and practically the only nation in the world that has freedom of speech. It's crazy that we claim the world is democratic. We live in the best moment of time. Yet somehow in Australia, where I am, I can go to jail for what I speak. I can get fined for what I speak. In Australia, if I literally pray for a gay person in church, I can go three to five years jail or get fined $100,000 for simply praying for a gay person. If I have a conversation, a pastoral conversation, or pray for a gay person in the lobby just after church, it is punishable by jail because they consider it conversion therapy. Wow. We're living in a moment of time where the devil is on an aggressive journey to censor, suppress, oppress the church, and the church needs to get out of the building to the public square. Yes, yes. There has been an obsession with revival, which revival needs to take place, but it's become these revival services of people come to our church, fill the seats, fill the plates with money. Instead of wait, God is going to pour out His Spirit

to create a bold people full of His glory that decrees, if I perish, I perish, to take it outside to reform the streets. I mean, this is what we see all throughout the Word of God. We can't get away from it. We cannot get away that God anointed His people to push against wickedness in government, wickedness in culture to arise and make the name of Jesus famous. We have this weak condition of what I call of Christian Buddhism. Which is like Christianity now is a soul experience, but it doesn't move beyond your soul to your action. It doesn't move from your Sunday to your Monday. It doesn't move from the ideas that you believe to you being engaged in the public square. And you look around you, babies are getting killed, but the church is like, yeah, it's too political. You look around you, the next generation is rejecting God and becoming gay. And the Bible does say those who practice homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God. And then the church doesn't care. The LGBTQ sex cult has infiltrated the next generation. The next generation has been infiltrated, indoctrinated, and they don't even know it. And the church is not willing, engaged to save the next generation. And I'm talking about Gen Zers. Gen Zers, they are the most radical people you'll ever meet. It's amazing. love them. I love them because they're not fenced people. Like they are right or left. I have a Gen Z daughter. Yeah. I love them. And I love that. And I love about them too, they're like social justice warriors. So they're not happy with the leadership of church and with five businesses to success and how to develop the leaders within you. They want something real. They want something real. They want something authentic. And they want something that will take Jesus to the public square. They're ready to fight for abortion or against abortion.

You get to decide what direction they're going to go. The passion is there. The zeal is there. They do not care about making more money. They care more about living a better world. And if the church, particularly the older generation, boomers and exes, if they're actually going to stop leading with the old mindset and start to understand where we're heading is a very unique place. Young people are not just hungry for a revival in the church, but for a revolution outside of the church. Absolutely. Absolutely. And it's going to take the empowerment of those pastors, even if they don't feel called specifically to go be a light into those dark places, which newsflash, that's what we're called to do. We're called to invade darkness. We are light is the body of Christ. We carry light. If it's dark, we invade. If pastors don't feel called personally to a specific area, why are we not empowering, like what you're bringing up, the next generation or others that are, and that goes to expose the fear, the cowardness of the church to say, no, not only do I not want to go there, I'm not going to empower the ones that feel called to. This is very important. What happened in America is that we are transitioning from a season of peace to a season of war. We are obviously no longer in Jerusalem. We are in Babylon. Babylon, Jerusalem is a city of peace, Babylon, the city of war, but we're facing at the moment is the older generation is unaware that we are no longer in Christian America. We are in post-Christian America. And that is the reason killing babies is up for debate. It's like pastors think that's a political issue. So that has been the infiltration of the church with the woke mind virus. The church has been infiltrated from the outside and the devil is so smart and so strategic because the way to silence the church is to name a topic, two things, controversial and political. And these are the buzzwords. The devil is so smart because the devil always uses terms. You're racist. You're sexist. Again, all these terms, they don't really mean anything anymore. It's all about intimidation. You're homophobe, you're sex phobia, Islamophobe, elves, all different type of phobe. And the devil has created his own demonic lexicon to demonize the church. So that's too political and that's too controversial. And little did they know the goal of the church, it's not to not be controversial. It's to actually be biblical. So people tell me, you're so controversial. I'm like, I don't care. I don't care. The question

isn't because it's destruction by destruction. If the devil gets your mind of what is biblical for you to not be controversial, you lost the battle. The battle is not, are you controversial, but are you biblical? If what is biblical is controversial, I'm going to say, it doesn't matter. The battle is not, is it political, but is it spiritual? So abortion is spiritual. Marriage is spiritual. The whole Israel drama is spiritual. The whole sex cult of the LGBTQ is spiritual, but somehow everything that used to be spiritual is now political. Everything that used to be biblical is now cultural. Everything that used to be theological is now political. And then the devil is taking ground while the church is retreating. And rather than the church taking territory, we're losing territory. And it's because we're been playing peace where we are in war. And then they will tell you, oh, you're a culture warrior. I'm like, I'm not a culture warrior. I'm just a spiritual warrior. The culture war is a spiritual war in disguise. The culture war is actually a biblical war in disguise. I always tell people World War III is a spiritual war that is disguised as a culture war. So it's not a culture war. It's a spiritual war. for Liberty and Justice is to mobilize the church, wake up the city and take a stand for liberty and justice. And we want you to get involved. You can do that by going to forlibertyandjustice.us. If you're interested in running for office and reforming government, we have what's called Campaign University you can sign up for at your own pace and learn how to do so. Or you can help us by launching a county chapter in your county to mobilize the church and empower godly men and women to get civically engaged today. Now back to the podcast. So you're speaking to the biblical foundation that should be in the church, that the people should know, right? What the word of God says.

So I think that you're unveiling the first problem is I think many Christians don't know their word. So they don't have a strong faith to stand in what the word of God says. But the word also said we're supposed to be a people of no reputation. And we are also in an hour with the social media buzz that we're so worried about our following, we're so worried about our reputation. And literally the word of God says to be a people of no reputation. What does this mean for those of you that are listening? It means we fear nothing in this world. We fear nothing, no name calling, no demeaning thing. Oh, but they called me this. Oh, well, I'm pretty sure Jesus and his disciples face so much worse than what could possibly happen. But we're obsessed. We're obsessed with not just my own reputation, my own platform, my own following, my own business, my own finances. It's my, it's me, it's self. We worship the idol of self. And it's why we can't fully in this abandonment of everything else, fully worship Jesus and give him our all. But he's calling us into that place. I believe we're in a season of mercy, a window of mercy right now. I can't celebrate you enough for talking about

being a spiritual warrior. We get all of the time. Guys, aren't you exhausted? You're always in war. You're always warring against something. 100%. I'm sorry, but there's a spiritual war that is complete chaos that is happening around our children, around schools, in every neighborhood, on every news agency, in the nations that's taking place. How do you go at home and not realize that from a day-to-day base, we are in fact in a spiritual war? Yes, we are. And this is the thing, I love what the Lord is doing here in Mercy Culture because the focus on the fear of the Lord is essential. Because you have to fear something. You're either gonna fear God or fear men. And what the enemy is doing at the moment is that he has replaced the fear of God with the fear of men. When you fear God, you'll fear nothing less, nothing more than God. When you fear God, you will no longer care about what people think. That's right. When you fear God, you will worship God, not government. When you fear God, you will fear God and not men.

When you fear God, you will speak the truth of the Bible no matter what the cost. Because the issue we have at the moment, churches want revival without repentance. I'm like, the only pathway to revival is repentance. Come on. And churches want revival without a reformation. And that reformation has a goal of transforming the church back to the offensive yet transformative truth of the Bible. So the only pathway to revival is reformation. And the only pathway to revival is repentance. And reformation produces revival. Revival produces a revolution. And that revolution is a revolution of the fear of God. But we have at the moment so many weak churches and particularly weak men, that's why they lack strength and courage, who do not fear God. And they're shaking on the side of the road that every time a new giant rises, they're not picking up to go to fight. They are stepping back and losing territory. And it is so obvious, abortion, marriage, Israel, education, the indoctrination of children, drag queens. There is, and the weird thing is that you look at pastor Jean LaCroix for a second. Supporting Israel, it wasn't controversial 10 years ago. Now, it's very controversial. Which is, I'm like, sometimes I'm like,

I wonder what else is gonna be controversial? Absolutely, absolutely. Okay, so you speak out on all of these things at your church. You have an incredible church called Echo Church in Sydney, Australia. You're preaching on all of these things all of the time because we should be bringing biblical clarity to what our congregants and individuals, Christians are facing in our world right now. You're doing an incredible job of that, but it wasn't always that way. It wasn't always. You haven't always known Christ. Will you just share your background and how you were raised? So yeah, so I was born in the Middle East, Egypt, which is a Muslim country. So I come from a generation of pastors. as a pastor, who happened to convert Muslims to Christians, which is illegal. So we have blasphemy laws, which means any pastor that dares to preach Jesus outside of the four walls of church, they will go to jail, or they will get killed on the street by Muslim Brotherhood, which is like a violent terrorist group. So this is kind of the environment I grew up in. So it's illegal to preach. It's illegal to proclaim the name of Jesus outside of the four walls of church. It's illegal to have revival. So in the Muslim Middle East, very totalitarian, authoritarian, it is illegal for you to practice the Great Commission of you to go into all the world and make disciples of all the nations. So for a Muslim to become a Christian, it's illegal. So we have apostasy laws, which means if a Muslim become the Christian, they can get

killed on the street by the Muslim Brotherhood, or they will go to jail. I wonder, I'm sorry to interrupt you. I wonder, I have wondered for a long time, is this what it's going to take for America? You have people in America, and I just did another episode on it, shared to tell their testimony in a place that you have freedom of speech because they're afraid that somebody will laugh at them. And I hope listeners are listening right now to what your childhood was like, what your father had to go through to preach the gospel. Get some boldness that is listening right now so that this does not have to be the state of America for us to finally preach the gospel. So people always call me a conspiracy theorist. I'm like, I'm not a conspiracy theorist because what people don't understand, Egypt was a Christian nation. Just Google in the 300s, Egypt was 90% Christian. Islam rose as a very masculine, toxic, toxic, violent, and domineering masculinism type of religion with very aggressive, angry, sexually perverted, sexually deviant men who took over all the ancient Christian world. So Egypt used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. Libya used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. Algeria used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. Jerusalem used to be Christian and it became Muslim and the Jewish community took it back. Morocco used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. Algeria, Turkey, which was considerable the capital of Christendom, used to be Christian, now it's Muslim. So the whole ancient Christian world is now Muslim. Now for people to think Christianity cannot be done in America, gone in America, that's actually a conspiracy theory because historically so many Christian nations fall under the demonic oppression and the demonic violence of Islam and we're starting to see it rise in America. I thought I was a conspiracy theorist and then New Year's Eve, you see the attack in New Orleans where 16, 14 Americans were killed by Muslim jihadists.

You had 9-11, hello, like just before the plane was about to crash into the World Trade Center, the person literally screamed, Allahu Akbar, death to America, victory to Allah. If you go and check the transcripts of 9-11, that's actually what happened. I grew up in the Middle East, when 9-11 happened, my friends were celebrating on the street. My very nice Muslim friends, they were screaming and celebrating on the street, thank God America just lost and Muslim Islam is about to win. So there is a war and the enemies of America, which is Islam, Islam hates America because Islam hates Christianity. Islam hates Christianity because Islam hates freedom and America has an enemy on the outside that is unaware of. In fact, the enemy is already on the inside. If you look in Australia, we're becoming Islamized. We're like 10 years ahead of you guys when it comes to Islam. We had a pastor get stabbed a few months ago as he opened the Bible. Bishop Murray Murray is literally 40 minutes down the road. He literally opened the Bible and he was opening the Bible, a young Muslim terrorist boy got a knife and he stabbed him five times in a Western Christian nation. Just a few weeks ago, we had a Jewish synagogue get bombed. So if you think, as you guys had here in the beginning of the year, the attack in New Orleans. So if you think Islam is not a danger, it is, it has been, it always will be. And if Islam was able to infiltrate, indoctrinate and take over Egypt, what makes you think that cannot happen to America? It's a very interesting question, I would say. 100%. Why would it not happen to America? But I also can hear the questions of people as you're talking, oh, that's a few radicals. It's just a few radicals. And that's why you have progressives with Christians both marching in pro-Palestinian marches. Yeah.

Like we're doing the loving thing. This is the loving thing. So the issue with Islam, you have three layers of Islam. You got the jihadist, which is like the ISIS terrorists, we're going to bomb ourselves. Then so these are crazy ones. These are the terrorists. So you also have a bunch of terrorists, but after the jihadist, you have Islam. 50, it's like the apostles, you know, like the apostle, the evangelist. So they have their own little, you know, ministry layers. So firstly, you have the jihadist. Jihad is the only certain way for you to make it to heaven. So if you want to be the highest form of Muslim, you become a jihadist. So you'll always find lots of little young people, or even old Muslim men, like that particular person who killed the 16 or 14 people in New Orleans, he's a jihadist. So jihadists, they're actively going to, in a militant way, kill people. You had it on October 7, that was Islamic jihad. Jihad literally means holy war against the enemies of Allah. So this is like the core of Islam. They're like the apostles. After jihadist, you got Islamist. So Islamists are, they are in the country, in the nation, but their goal is to make the nation Muslim. And they tend to be very silent. They go with the flow. But as they get more numbers, they start to act differently. For example, in America, you wouldn't have thought 10 years ago, that people support Hamas on the street. Now they are. So as they increase in numbers, they increase in dominance. So you got the Islamist. And I always ask Muslims, do you want Australia? Do you want America? Do you want the United Kingdom to become a Muslim nation? And most of them will say yes. Most of them will say yes. Of course they want, because Islam is a political ideology. Like Islam is a law. Like you got Ishmael, which is the father of Islam. You got Isaac, which is the father of Judaism. Break it down. So you got Ishmael and Isaac. So Islam comes from the Ishmaelites, which is Ishmael, which is the letter of the law. Islam is a sharia law that is not applied bottom up. It's applied top down. So you can't fully be a Muslim until you have the sharia law in the land. Islam is a sharia law. It's not like Christianity, a relationship with the Lord, the presence of God. In Islam, God is a ruler and a judge, who judges top down through an Islamic sharia law, through a Muslim government or through an imam. So you got this layer of Islamists, but now you have the Muslims who don't do it, but they're

silent because they believe in it. And when Islam takes over, they will not be on your side. So in Australia, 70 to 80% of Muslims vote for left-wing parties, which is the LGBTQ sex cult. And you know, left-wing politics is all about hating the West, hating the foundation elements, again, they hate America because they hate Christianity. They hate Christianity because they hate freedom. So for some reason, Muslims tend to be aligned with the godless left. Yeah. And it doesn't even make sense. It makes no sense because if you're a homosexual, that deserves death, correct? They kill you in the Middle East. So peaceful Palestine, it doesn't even make sense. So what would be the reasoning? So there is an unholy alliance happening with violent Islam and the godless left. And the unholy alliance has a goal of destroying America. Okay. Did everybody just hear that? There is an unholy alliance. That's what some people think. They think this is conspiracy theory. No, but they have the goal in mind to destroy America, to destroy America morally. To take over America. So Islam means submission. They always tell you Islam is peace. Islam is a religion of peace. So Islam is a double word. It's a compromise of two words. Islam. Salaam means peace. And the moment you put the A in the beginning, it means peace through surrender. So Islam means peace through surrender, peace through subjugation and peace through submission. So the goal of Islam, Islam is a totalitarian one world order that they believe one day they will control every single country in the world to create a one world Khalifa. That's the reason you find Muslims here fighting and protesting on the street for Palestine. It's like you're American Muslim. Why do you care about Palestine? It doesn't even make sense. Why do you care about totalitarian Islamist state where they kill the gays, they kill the Jews, they kill the Christians. There is literally half a million people in Gaza and there's like 800 Christians. So they say free Palestine. I'm like, what do you mean by free Palestine? Palestine is a totalitarian hell hole. There is no freedom in Palestine. If you're gay, you're going to be chucked off a building or raped or killed. If you're a Christian, there was 800 of us. We went from 6,000 Christians in the 1960s. Now there's 800 of us. There are three churches in Gaza and two of them got bombed

one in 2007, one in 2008. So this is the reality of Palestine. So Islam is a one world order ideology that has a goal of taking control of every single country of every single nation. And that has already happened in Egypt. Algeria and Turkey, all the ancient Christian world already is Muslim. Yeah. You say, what in the world would progressives, LGBTQ and Islam have in similarity to join up except for the fact of hating? They hate America. They hate the West to the core. So they hate America, but then even deeper, I would believe would be the hatred of Christianity. Exactly. So they hate America because America is Christian. Why do they hate Christianity so much? Because Christianity offers freedom and freedom, both sides of the coin is leftism and Islam. They don't want freedom. They want control. And Christianity offers, where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom and you know the truth and the truth will set you free. Freedom fundamentally is a Christian concept. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. You will know the truth, the truth will set you free. And whoever the son frees is free indeed. Islam is fundamentally a Christian concept. And that is the reason America fundamentally is a Christian nation. And that is coming from someone who's born in the Middle East. There is no free Muslim country. It doesn't exist. There is no free atheist country. There is no free communist country. There is no free Buddhist country.

The only free countries in the world are the countries founded on Christianity, on Christendom, because we believe fundamentally that humans are made in the image of God and they have the freedom to worship, to choose and to be whatever they like. So freedom fundamentally is a Christian concept and godless leftism, which is like socialism and communism, they do not want freedom. So you look to Australia, Australia, we are transitioning from socialism to communism at the moment. Under godless comrade Kamala, America was potentially transitioning from capitalism to socialism. In Australia, we are transitioning from socialism to communism, where there is no individual freedom. There is no freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom to worship. They're happy for you to be a Christian in the church, but you cannot be a Christian outside of the church. This is why it's so important. This is why we are ringing the bell, okay, for churches, for spiritual leaders, for Christians to stand up for such a time as this. I mean, you just, you just let everybody know what is on the line, that our toe is on the line of losing our freedoms in this great nation. We are so close. We are potentially one more election away. Yeah. And what people don't understand, the left is very smart. The way it works. And we see in Australia, firstly, they make a topic, controversial, abortion, LGBTQ. I'm like, I thought you wanted to get married next minute. You're trying to put me in jail. Like, wait, I thought love is love. Like this is the funny thing about the LGBTQ sex cult. Well, number one, the LGBTQ sex cult, it's a religion that pretends to be a political

ideology. It's a pagan religion. God created us to worship him, love people and use sex. What the LGBTQ sex cult does, it makes us worship sex, love self and use people. So it's a pagan demonic ideology. And in the beginning, they claimed we just want to get married. And now they want drag queens around kids. And I'm like, wait, I just thought you wanted to get married. Yeah. In the beginning they said love is love. And now as a pastor, my calling, my purpose is becoming criminalized one day at a time. I am becoming the enemy of the state. I'm like, wait for a second. I just, I thought love is love, but it wasn't about love is love. It wasn't about marriage. It was about persecuting the church. In the moment in Australia, we have what you call gay communism, where the state is using the LGBTQ movement to criminalize Christianity one day at a time, preaching, prayer, worship, pastoral care, deliverance, every single part of Christianity and Christian education too. Wow. All of this happening at once. All of this happening. Is this prophetic? This war that's taking place in the Middle East, this fight for freedom that's taking place in the nation's communism, all of this that is happening at the same time. It is prophetic. I always say it's not Israel versus Palestine. It's Israel versus Islam. So many pastors have been indoctrinated by the spirit of the age and have been infiltrated by the wisdom of the age that they can no longer see spiritual warfare when it's taking

place. that the son of the slave woman will persecute the son of the free woman. So in Islam, in Christianity, the son of the free woman is Isaac. In Islam, the son of the free woman is actually Ishmael. So we believe that the savior of the world, Jesus, came through the line of Isaac, the line of David, through the son of the free woman, the son of Sarah, Isaac. In Islam, they believe the promised son, that the actual son that was sacrificed on the altar, it wasn't Isaac, it was Ishmael. So for us, Israel is the most holy land. For Islam, Mecca, that thing, that black rock that they go around, that is their own first holy land. In Islam, Abraham didn't sacrifice Isaac. Abraham sacrificed Ishmael on that black rock, holy piece of unholy, holy pagan rock in Mecca. In Christianity, Abraham sacrificed Isaac on the holy of holies, on the Mount Hebron, on that big mountain. So what you're seeing at the moment, it's an ancient yet current. It's a political yet prophetic. It's a geopolitical yet spiritual ancient war where the son of the slave woman, Ishmael, is fighting against the son of the free woman, Isaac. It's an ancient war. And that's the question. Does salvation come through Jesus or does salvation come through Muhammad? Come on. Is the truth in the Bible, because, oh, my Christian, you're not pro-Israel. Well, guess what? You are questioning the credibility and the historical accuracy of the Bible because Islam says Israel is a holy land that belongs to the Muslims. According to the Bible, Israel is a holy land that belongs to David, that where God told Moses, go and let my people go so they can worship. It wasn't talking about Palestine. It was talking about Israel.

So does salvation come through the Jews or does salvation come through the Muslims? Does salvation come through Jesus or does salvation come through Muhammad? You are dropping a bomb right now on the woke church. The woke church. You are dropping a bomb because you are saying by you not speaking out, you are not standing up for the Messiah who is returning. Who is returning. And guess what? This is a funny thing, is that no matter what your eschatological reality, pre-millennial, post-millennial, in Islam, they believe that Jesus, their Muslim Jesus, who is our Antichrist, in Islam, their Jesus is our anti-Jesus. Our anti-Jesus is their Jesus. In Islam, their Christ is our Antichrist. They believe that Jesus one day is going to come back to reign in Jerusalem. And there's going to be this Muslim political figure called al-Mahdi and Jesus who will lead the Muslims to kill every single Jew in the Holy Land. So there's going to be a war in the Middle East in the end time, according to their eschatology. And in that war, Jesus will lead the Muslims to kill every single Jew. Every single Jew, according to their eschatological texts, their Hadiths will be running around. And when they go to Hadar Rock, they say that the rock is going to cry, Hey Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. And there's going to be trees. And when the Jews run away from the Muslims and apparently Jesus is coming back to kill all the Jews. That's what they all believe. That's why Israel, for the Muslims, it's a very important piece of geopolitical space because they cannot have the end times until they capture Israel. That is why they will sacrifice their children.

They will sacrifice their women. They will kill themselves in Jihad because they have to capture that piece of land because Jesus would not be able to come back. And their demonic figure Mahdi would not be able to come back to reign over the whole world until they capture Israel and kill every single Jew. And that is, by the way, their eschatological text. So that's the reason Hamas's mission statement is to kill every Jew and annihilate Israel. So again, no matter what you believe, theologically, spiritually about Israel, this is the belief of the other side. So the funny thing about them when you read the revelation is that their Christ is our Antichrist and our Antichrist is their Christ. Wow. Wow. How is the American church unaware of this? So we are living in a moment of time where the American church has been disconnected from Christianity. as a whole. They're not interested in the Christian church being persecuted in China. And that's the reason when communism rises here, they don't know it. They're not interested in the persecuted church in the Middle East. I get so many people that watch me and they think they're like, Oh, you're racist. You're mean. You hate speech. You're hateful. Yeah. You don't, you have a mean spirit. I'm like, no, I just wasn't born here. So the way I see things, I don't see that through love, tolerance, empathy. I'm like, no, I definitely, I don't see it that way. It's very hard. You've had resistance your whole life. This is the only way to live as a Christian. So you don't want to speak the Bible because you don't want to offend people. I'm like people in the Middle East get killed, beheaded, tortured and raped for speaking the Bible and you don't want to offend people. How sad. So there is, this is a very prophetic moment in America because the Lord is opening America's eyes through immigration and the war in the Middle East. And what's happening in Australia as we're heading towards socialism, communism is that the American church will have to be forced to look at godless communism, which is godless leftism under people like Kamala Harris. She literally told a young guy who screamed Jesus is Lord. You're not welcome

there. She slipped. She said it. Yeah. I'm like, honestly, it's for everybody. It's like, if that is not what you're voting for, that's what you're voting for. But then the Lord has protected people like me from the other side of the world to come and tell you, Hey, there is an enemy rising from within. God warned you in 9-11. God is warning you because Israel is fighting the war against Islam on the other side. And I'll share my story. So we came to Australia in 2007 as refugees. And what's great about our story is that a few years before we came, my dad converted a particular Muslim woman to Christianity. She believed the gospel. She repented of her sin. She got baptized. My dad converted a particular Muslim woman. Her husband happened to be part of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is like the Hamas of Egypt, a terrorist organization that kills Christians, beheads Christians. It will kidnap young Christian girls and will rape them and force marry them to old men and they will never be able to see their families again. So because my dad converted a particular Muslim woman to Christianity, her husband was very, very angry and he wanted to seek revenge. So he decided that he will kidnap what is most precious and important to my dad, which was with me and my younger brother. He decided that he'll kidnap me and my younger brother and behead both of us. And then he will send our bodies and our heads back in a bag, just like you saw in the Christians getting butchered in Libya. You saw the Orthodox getting butchered on the beach. He will behead both, which is very common in Islam. What you saw in October 7th, it's not a surprise for Islam. That's what they do. People like rape is resistance. I'm like, no, that's what they do. They do it everywhere they go. So he decided that he will behead me and my younger brother. And then he puts our heads and bodies on the back and send it to my dad as a revenge for my dad, for my dad taking the most precious thing in his life, which is making his wife a Christian. So he got two of his Muslim Brotherhood friends, his two Muslim Brotherhood team, and they kind of orchestrated a plan. Me and my younger brother used to go to church. I mean, me and my younger brother used to go to school every single week at 7am in the morning. We catch a yellow bus. So he orchestrated the plan that the moment we come downstairs, me and my younger brother, that he will kidnap both of us. And they will kidnap us just as about the yellow bus is about to pick us up. He will quickly kidnap us, behead us and send our bodies back to my dad. So they orchestrated the plan. They came early in the morning,

7am. And as me and my younger brother was about to go downstairs, and as we were walking on the street, that man and the two men helping him, they felt a force and they couldn't move until me and my younger brother came downstairs, went in the yellow bus, the yellow bus drove to the end of the street and then disappeared. The moment that bus disappeared, they started to move again. They were getting very angry. Like you Muslim coward, how dare you not kill those Christians? We have killed so many Christian people. We have kidnapped and tortured so many pastors. How dare you not kill those two children? He was so confused. So he orchestrated the same plan. He came a few days later or the week after, and he had the same plan. He's got two different men. The same thing happened. He comes again. He orchestrated the plan. He comes in front of our house, our apartment, 7am in the morning, the yellow bus comes down. And the moment me and my younger brother starts to walk downstairs, all of them, they felt a force, take their hand and put it behind their heads and they couldn't move. They could not move the three of them until me and my younger brother went to the yellow bus and the yellow bus drove to the end of the street and disappeared. And the moment the bus disappeared, they started to move again. See, we didn't know this story. If I knew that was happening, I wouldn't have went. school that day, obviously. I would have said, Mom, someone wants to kill me. I think that's a very good reason not to go to school. I don't think my parents would have let us down that day. Yeah. The only reason we know is because that Muslim person came to us a few weeks later and told us that your God saved you to my dad. He told them your God saved you, your children and your family from my evil and wicked hand. Your family and your children should be dead. I am only here because God protected you guys. He became a Christian. He repented of his sin. He believed in the gospel and he got baptized. Wow. Come on. And he's a Christian or him and all his family right now. And you and your brother are both preaching the gospel. Exactly. And that's the reason I am not fearful and I'm not scared because my job is to preach. God's job is to protect. My job is to speak. God's job is to deliver. My job is to declare the truth of the Bible. God's job is to build a church and it's time for the church to stop being politically correct and to stop fearing men and to stop playing politics with the Bible. But more than anything, it's time for the church to get back to the fear of God. Because the main issue, we fear men and we don't fear

God and God protected me from the other side of the world. He told the church here, do not fear men. If God wants you dead, you're going to be dead. He'll protect you. He knows my day and I'm going to live it to the fullest until the end that my life means something and isn't lame trying to preserve a life that proves that I don't have faith. So fear God and not men. Yes. What should the church be doing and responding with what's happening in Israel right now? What's happening on our on our own soil? We have to support Israel. And again, even if you don't support it, even if you don't support it theologically, I support either theologically, which is again, I think it's a very stupid argument that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which happened to be Israel. Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, which happened to be Israel. The gospel was first preaching it in in Jerusalem, which happened to be in Israel. The first church was planted in Jerusalem, which happened to be in Israel. Jesus performed all the miracles in Israel. I'm like, all the Muslims want that piece of hot property land because it is a holy land. So I'm not really sure Jesus was not a Palestinian. Jesus was a Jew. Yes. Yes. So I'm not sure how can you theologically or historically support the credibility of Israel. But politically, we're living in a moment of time where Israel politically is the only beacon of freedom, hope, and liberty in the Middle East. I can go to Israel right now, I'm going to Israel this year. And I can preach a gospel, I can convert people, I'm not going to get killed. If I go to Egypt, which is literally a few kilometers down the road, I'll be killed. So Israel is a beacon of hope, freedom, and particularly the freedom to worship and to build churches in the Middle East, because in the Middle East, you cannot build the church. So we need Israel as a beacon of freedom, liberty, and democracy in the Middle East. And if we lose Israel politically, you're going to see the alignment of the Muslim world, the East and the West. So you get Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Algeria, Sudan, Egypt, and Israel in the middle. And on the other side, you got Syria, Iraq, Iran. If Israel disappears, which is that's the goal, the goal of Islam is to eradicate Israel, and to take over the whole region, because once that region is done, they're going to be able to form their one world Islamic order, and take over the world and have their eschatological moment of being their own Christ, which is the Antichrist. So politically, the church must be pro-Israel. Theologically, it's very hard for you to make the case that Jesus was a Palestinian, obviously. But more than anything, with the justice cause,

the Jews across the world at the moment are being persecuted and killed. And it is a church's job to defend those who cannot speak for themselves. In Sydney, we are having cars across Jewish areas getting bombed every week. We had one a few days ago. In Sydney, we had a Jewish a Jewish temple get bombed. And what Christians fail to realize is that first, they're going for the Jews, but then they're going for you. In Egypt, we have eight Jews. Firstly, they persecuted the Jews, Islam will always persecute the Jews, and then the Christians and then the gays. So what people don't realize after Islam persecutes Israel and Christianity, Israel and the Jews, we are next. And I'm from the Middle East to tell you, they destroyed the Jews, now they're going after the Christians. And here in the West, in America, in Australia and the United Kingdoms, after they go for Saturday, they're going from Sunday. After they scream death to Israel, they will scream death to America. And the same people that were celebrating 9-11 are the same people who are celebrating October 7th. And I'm just giving you a historical and political insight. You are in a very dangerous spot and you saw it with the terrorist attacks happening across America in the last few weeks. You're like, wait for a second. You are killing Americans. I thought you just want to kill Jews, but the warning, the writing is on the wall. Yeah. I mean, they're, they're decreeing in the streets of America from the sea to, or from the river to the sea. What does that mean? Break that down for people. So from the river to the sea, they're talking about the promised land from the river, the Jordan river to the sea, the Mediterranean sea. If you read Joshua 1, God promised the promised land to the Jews, to the Jews, to Joshua, to Moses and to Israel. So according to Islam from the river to the sea, that is their own promised land. Again, Muhammad declared Jerusalem at the second most holy city.

So for them, this is a very important piece of land because their Christ and Muhammad is coming back to Jerusalem to reign over. And at the same time, Muhammad told them that Jerusalem is your holy land. Again, does salvation come from Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament, or does salvation come from Allah, the violent God of Islam? This is not, it's not Israel versus Palestine. It's Israel versus Islam. Yes. You know, have you, as you have been sharing this whole time, I'm looking at you as this beacon of light about how God just divinely reveals himself to your family, sets you apart for such a time as this to boldly preach the gospel, to bring truth that sets people and nations free. I truly believe that that's what your voice is doing right now, what it's going to continue to do. And it reminded me of this moment. I was in Jerusalem years ago and we are praying for the salvation of the Jewish people. We are praying for the salvation of the nation. We're praying for protection. And as I'm crying out and praying, the Holy Spirit convicts me so strong. Why are you not praying for my Muslim sons and daughters? Amen. And I mean, I'm overwhelmed with tears. It's one of those moments where you feel the holiness of God that's jealous for a people. And as you're sharing, you know, I mean, it was a complete disaster. Our borders under Kamal, a complete disaster. And I believe what the enemy meant to take us out, God can turn around for his glory. And I thought, what if, what if Americans, what if Christians responded to this call that you're making? What if they awakened and began to get bold and testify and become witnesses to Muslim individuals, men and women that have been brought into America, the place where there

is still freedom. You're not going to die. Your life's not on the line for preaching the gospel to these individuals that are in. And what if revival began to happen inside of Muslim people, inside of America? So one of the biggest things is going to happen. And it is amazing. We 100% can reach the Muslim community. You will get the ones that don't really believe it, but you'll get the one that fully invested into it. So it's kind of this whole tension. But the reality is moving forward, the Bible said, if my people were called, my name will humble themselves and pray. We don't need all people. We just need God's people. Yes. And this is the tricky part. Come on, shake people up right now. Because so many times you look and you feel discouraged, but the promise of God is not revival through repentance of the world. It's revival through repentance of the church. So the beauty at the moment, all we need is for the church to stand up, speak up. We need the church to get back to the Bible. We have to get back to the offensive yet transformative truth of the Bible. The problem is the Bible is offensive. It is offensive. The gospel is offensive. Jesus offended all the time, everywhere he went. And the issue is the more you try to remove the offense of the gospel, the more you remove the power of the gospel. That's why Paul said, I am not ashamed of the gospel.

So as a church, if we are ashamed of the gospel, we will not see revival. This is very, very important. The key ingredient of revival is repentance. And the key ingredient of repentance is to call people to be triggered, to choose God or to not choose God. You will either get offended or be repentant. There is no middle ground. The problem in America, we've been trying to create the fence. Hey, you can go on a journey. You can go on a journey. I'm like, Jesus said, today's the day of salvation. What do you mean by journey? There is no journey today. Make the choice today. Today, we have been in this very liberal church the last 30 to 50 years in America. Well, they always tell you we're on a journey. Tomorrow's promised to nobody. What if you die? Yeah. What if we die? There is no journey. Today is the day of salvation. If the Lord is your God, serve him. If Baal is your God, serve him. It's time for the church to give every single person the ultimatum. Come on. Do you want Jesus or do you want the world? Again, we don't force people. Unlike Islam, you will get killed. You will get paid Jizya.

You will be subdued to become Muslim. Like what happened in the Middle East. That's how Egypt became Muslim. But for Christianity, you're not forced to become a Christian, but you do need to make a decision. And the church for the last 50 years have rejected the traditional way of evangelism by taking people on a very weird, they call it lovey-dovey Christianity, where they're not telling people what they believe. Like you ask the liberal pastor, is homosexuality a sin? Like, I don't know. Oh, yeah. I'm like, can you answer the question? Gymnastics. They will start dancing and doing yoga and stuff. I'm like, can you please answer the question? And is abortion a sin? I don't know. I don't know. Is the Bible. It's not clear. It's not clear. And it's very weird. And it's actually manipulation. Yeah, it is. It's manipulation. And it causes confusion, which God is not a God of confusion. So another spirit is. I think, not I think, in the book of Acts, Christianity was very clear. Like Peter, the first revival, like I really had to go back to the Lord. I'm like, Lord, why aren't we seeing revival? I was like, Lord, why? And God was like to me, why don't you read the first sermon in the history of the church ever?

Peter. Peter said, repent of your sin, you evil and wicked generation. Yeah. That is a sermon that calls revival. Yes. Yes. It's very not nice. Yeah. Yeah. Turn back to him. That's what repentance is. It's turning away from your wicked ways. But you have to know what wickedness is. You have to be able to discern between that which is right and that which is wrong, which we know we are in the times when the word clearly warns us that in those days, they will not know the difference between that which is good and that which is evil. And you have to discern between the two. So Peter said, repent of your sin, you evil, wicked generation. 90% of pastors in America would not say that. Yeah. So. Insane. But you can't have godly outcomes without godly pathway. Yeah, absolutely. You read through that text and you're like, Lord, we've been doing it wrong. Yeah. Jesus didn't, Peter didn't say, hey, guys, let's go on a journey. I'm going to water it down a little bit. I'm going to put a little bit of sugar on the gospel. I'm going to try to make you feel good. You go to this church and they say, come as you are. But what they really mean is stay as you are.

Yeah. And I think. Yeah. And, and they're very, um, they're very reason for not preaching on repentance is actually what has made repentance the cuss word of all cuss words that in submission in, in the Bible, when repentance is a beautiful word. Repentance means I get it, weep and say, I'm sorry, God. And you're going to throw the most horrific moment sin that I've committed, betrayed the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. And you're going to throw it into the sea of forgetfulness. That's good news. Repentance is good news. It's not a cuss word. It's good news. It brings us back into alignment with the favor of the Lord, with the presence of God. And I promise you, those of you that are listening right now, if you choose repentance, like he's preaching to you right now, he meets you right there. And it is so much easier. It is not a perfect walk. It doesn't become perfect life when you repent and, and lean on Jesus and allow him to be Lord of your life. But I promise you this, him being your defender, him being your provider, your protector, all of the things that we have talked about today makes life so much more beautiful. And at the moment we have the liberal world Christianity, they want revival without repentance. A hundred percent. Yeah. And they want the Holy Spirit without holiness.

Yeah, absolutely. And they want, they, they want revival. If they want Holy Spirit, I'm happy. Most churches are trying to actually shun Holy Spirit with Holy. We could talk about Jesus all day long. Jesus is my best friend, but a spirit that is supposed to sanctify you, that is supposed to make you look like him, take you through a refiner's fire, that portion, we don't want. The gifts of the Spirit, speaking in tongues, healing. all that type of stuff, unless I really need the healing, but then the rest of them, I want to throw those out. And so you're right on about picking and choosing what do I want to manifest, which is really this, what's the word, new age type of belief system that I want to form my own type of Christianity of what the positive words that I wear. It's Christian Buddhism. Like my wife is way better at that stuff. She does all the stuff, but it's Christian Buddhism. It's this neutered, godless, immoral Christianity where they're like, yeah, Jesus is my best friend. But then when you look at the practical application of the gospel, it doesn't exist. It doesn't exist. And then they want the love of God without the fear of God. They want the grace of God without the wrath of God. They want tolerance and no repentance. And you look at this movement and you're like, this is not Christianity. It's Christian Buddhism. And then Peter nailed it very well. He landed with very important that people ask Peter, what must we do? It's not what must we feel. So like, and I literally had to go back and restructure everything I do because I've been saying, Lord, send revival, send revival, send revival, send revival. But I'm not following the text. But like I read and I'm like, this is the first sermon. This is the foundation of the church, the building of the church, the most important sermon in the church. Repent of your sin, your evil and wicked generation. So Jesus said, repent. John the Baptist came to prepare the way. Um, Malachi said, repent. Peter said, repent. And Paul said, repent. So how come we're not following the basic instructions that people need to repent, believe the gospel. And that's the reason the Bible said, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my faith and turn. Yes. That is by the way, the moment from there. But the problem is

pastors, they want revival, but they don't want people to turn because the moment you bring the turn, some people or half of the people are going to leave. This is what I want you to do. And that's, that's what it really is about. That's why I don't think it is so much. We could go into a whole another episode, but revival does not equal actual revival to most pastors. Revival means a bunch of people coming into my church, my church growing and exploding. It's all over social media and people will repost it. And then I get a name for myself and then I get book deals. And that's what revival means for so many pastors. And that's why they won't preach repentance, which is what equals true revival of what you're speaking. I want you to pray for the American church. If you would just pray for those that are listening right now, pray for this repentance, pray for revival and reformation in America. And I'm going to pray for the Muslim nation. Lord, we thank you Lord for this moment of time where we have four more years of freedom. I pray Lord over the next four years that you'll give people a spirit of courage and strength. You said Lord that you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you said after Lord, that power will enable you to speak my word. We know Lord that the power of the Holy Spirit produces courage. The power of the Holy Spirit produces boldness. The power of the Holy Spirit produces authority. Yes. We seek God of being confident. We want to have authority. We don't want to go out to be a cool church. We want to be God, a church that has anointing. I pray God for your power to give every single pastor and every single leader and every single Christian and every single person listening to me that they will have the power and the courage to speak your word. They will have the power and the courage to speak truth to power, Christ to government, the Bible in the public square, and Christ to culture. They will have the power Lord to be Daniel and open the window when they pray. They will have the power to be Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, God to stand up when the whole world is bowing down to the quiz for Palestine, to the LGBTQ sex cult, to the gender pronouns, to the cult of homosexuality. God, when all the pressure is coming down from the media, from the political establishment, from God, even abortion, your people will stand up and say no. Yes. As you said God to Jeremiah, you must say whatever I tell you to say. We need a generation of prophets. Yes God. We need a generation of reformers. Yes. We need a generation of courageous leaders that will speak the word of the Lord. And as you said, you will be with them and you will protect them. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Yeah, and Lord, I just pray for all of the courage and power he prayed for Christians, for Americans to be filled with, Lord. Lord, I pray with that courage that they are taking the gospel, they are taking their testimonies, they are taking truth to Muslim nations and to those that are in our nation. Lord, I speak to the spirit of fear and I say, we are not intimidated by you. We will not bow to the spirit of fear, but Lord, I thank you that holiness, that boldness, that consecration, that a people group would arise and not fear the ways of this world, culture, evil agendas, but that they would place their fear back in you and preach the gospel to those that don't know you, to those that are worshiping false gods, Allah, Mohammed. Lord, I thank you that those false gods are being torn down in America, that those false gods, just like on the day of Elijah, Lord, I pray for the day of Elijah that is coming soon that the false prophets are being struck down and that your name shall be made famous, not just in America, but in the Middle East, in Israel, in the nations. Lord, we ask for revival and reformation, not just in America, not just in Israel, but I ask for revival and reformation in the nations, God, awaken those in the Jihad, awaken those in Hamas, awaken those father with these evil agendas to destroy your people. I pray that they would see your face with eyes of fire. I pray for holy encounters to break out, that you would awaken these leaders in their sleep to the fear of God, let the fear of God come back to the Middle East. Lord, I ask for a mass salvation. It was your word that said radical love will bring mass salvation. I ask for a mass salvation in the nations, that Lord, a great harvest is going to be prepared for your return. Lord, I speak to the spirit of confusion. Go in Jesus' mighty name, the woke church, the sleeping church, the church that is turned away from true biblical values, Lord, I pray that you would awaken them to your truth and use them as end time missionaries, as end time evangelists with the fire of God. Awaken the Catholic church, Lord, I pray for an awakening in the Catholic church, a holy ghost visitation, that your glory would fill your temples once again, and Lord, we decree the victory is yours.

In fact, we give you glory over it. We give you glory that the victory is yours, and Lord, I thank you for every single person that is listening right now, that their faith has not just been encouraged, but it's been multiplied. Lord, I pray that your people would stand firm in their faith in this hour in your army and say, yes, I'm called to spiritually war in this day and not run from it. Lord, we give you all of the glory, all of the honor, and all of the praise in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Well, thank you so much for today. Thank you. Thank you. That was awesome. What an awesome time. I hope you learned a lot today. I did. Would you go share this video? Would you share this video all over social media? I don't always do those pushes, but I feel like what was shared today needs to go out. Share this podcast with other people. Tell them to listen, and then rise up in boldness. Share your faith with everybody around you, and we'll see you on the next Holy Disruption podcast. Thank you for joining me on this episode of Holy Disruption, where we are awakening the bride of Christ and calling the church back to holiness.
