Jesus Vs. Allah

Any man that converts to Islam is either dumb or sexually perverted. I personally believe that Obama is a Muslim. America has created this gay effeminate Christianity. I don't think there is any pastor that is too bold. I don't think that there is any pastor that is too aggressive. You see it creeping in. You see Mandani being sworn in on the Quran. The leader of one of the greatest cities in America. What is Islam really about? So Egypt was Christian, conquered by Islam. Morocco was Christian, conquered by Islam. Yemen was Christian, conquered by Islam. Turkey was Christian, conquered by Islam. Iraq was Christian, conquered by Islam. All these nations that I just listed were Christians conquered by Islam. And America thinks they're not the next guy on the list. A lot of immature, weak, woke, cowardly leaders. They're like, well I just don't like how you do it. And my response typically is, well I don't like how you do it. What a lot of people can't understand is... Today we're talking about the dangers of radical Islam or what we call Muslim nationalism. How it's making its way to America today. How the church needs to wake up. And how do we be loving Christians while we war in spiritual warfare. I'm Landon Schott. This is Spiritual Leadership where we're helping leaders become spiritual leaders. Let's get after it. Spiritual Leadership Spiritual Leadership Spiritual Leadership

Spiritual Leadership Spiritual Leadership Spiritual Leadership Spiritual Leadership Spiritual Leadership Martin Sedra is a bold preacher who is wreaking havoc on lukewarm Christianity. He's a pastor of Echo Church from Australia and they're coming here to America. He comes from a family of courageous preachers who are willing to lay down their lives for Jesus. Martin is a gift to the body of Christ and I'm glad he's here with us today. You and your entire family are wild, outspoken spiritual leaders. And you guys started in a little bit of obscurity in Australia. COVID hits, the world shuts down, and I got connected with your brother. And him and I began a friendship. And for those that don't understand or don't know, you guys aren't twins. No, we're not. You're brothers. Yeah, we have one wife each, not two wives, one. We're not Muslims. But you guys are actually Egyptians that fled from Egypt. You're persecuted Egyptians, wound up in Australia, started church in Australia. COVID hits. Australia is crazier than America. Psychotic shutdowns. And you guys speak up, you guys get loud. What happened in that season of time? Yeah, this is the thing. We came from Egypt to Australia as refugees, religious refugees. The Muslim Brotherhood was literally going to kill us for preaching Jesus Christ. My dad converted thousands of Muslims that were coming to Christ under apostasy laws. You can't.

The government took my dad to prison. The government wanted to kill us many times. They wanted to behead us many times. We would wake up and look outside of our window. People following us. It was a hectic, hectic season. In 2007, really the tipping point of us moving to Australia as religious refugees was our address got published in a Muslim wanted hit list. Muslims in Egypt have like a newspaper and they release addresses of pastors that they need to get taken out. Our address got published. My dad was preaching on the other side of the world. He called my mom and said, hey, our address just got published. You need to pack your bags, take the kids and meet me in Thailand. My mom packs her bags within a week. Our bag is packed. We don't tell anybody. We get at the border, the Egyptian border. And in Egypt, if you're a Christian or a Muslim, it says it in your passport. So your passport says your religion. So at the border, if the Muslim, the border, at the border of the airport, if they find out you're leaving the country as a Christian, they want to know you're trying to escape the country or are you just going on a holiday. So my mom made a whole plan and she lied. We bought a bunch of instruments. She gave me a piano. She gave my brother a guitar. My sister had a violin. And we went to the airport without instruments. And my mom told us if they ask you at the border why are you leaving Egypt, tell them we're just going to perform in a musical and we're coming back. Because if they found out we're trying to escape the country, my dad told me I wouldn't have seen you guys again. They would have put you in prison. So we get through. We lie.

We tell them, hey, we can play an instrument. We get through the border. We chuck the instruments out. We land in Thailand. We're there for a year. My dad meets us there. And then we get accepted into Australia. And we live from house to house. My family didn't have money. We didn't have a house. We didn't have nothing from home to home. My mom went from serving in ministry to being a cleaner at a school to make money in Australia. My dad went to being a landscaper from a preacher in Egypt, one of the most well-known preachers in Egypt, to being a landscaper at a school to make money. our life was over as refugees. We were like, all right, we're starting in the bottom. And really what God is showing us now is we went from refugees to reformers. God flipped the whole story upside down. And now we're no longer viewing it as we escaped Islam. God was sending us to America and Australia to fight Islam. The very thing that chased us out of Egypt, now we're chasing them out of America. That's kind of the way God is setting the scene. And that's why the Muslims hate us, especially the Sedra family, the Muslims hate us. We get death threats all the time from the Muslims. I get messages every single week saying, I know where you live, I'm gonna kill you. I get, even we just announced that we're having a baby. The Muslims are sharing it around.

This is how the Muslims work. They'll kill your wife, they'll kill your kid. And they want us to shut up in fear, but they don't understand God saved us from the Muslim hand in Egypt. And that's why we're not scared. We're like, man, God decides the end of my life, the beginning, the end. So we're just going for it. Well, you guys have been going for a long time and you are going from Australia where you have Echo Church to you're planting in Florida in 2027. And you guys aren't slowing down. And what I love about you guys is not only you're bold and you're courageous, some people might think that you're too bold, but I don't think any of us are too bold. When you look at making up genders, when you look up or look at the indoctrination of cramming LGBTQ and all of the other letters and symbols down our throats, not just in June, but all year long, the propaganda from Hollywood to Netflix, I mean, everywhere there is this propaganda of perversion. I don't think there is any pastor that is too bold. I don't think that there's any pastor that's too aggressive. I think that you guys just show the difference between those that are cowards, those that are weak, those that are woke, and true leaders. It's interesting because people look at you and you'll aggressively talk about perversion and Islam

and these different things. And it reminds me of David and Goliath. And his brothers are like, man, look at how arrogant he is. We know what's in his heart. Look at the Sedras, how arrogant they must be. And the truth is, is you're just calling out giants. And a lot of immature, weak, woke, cowardly leaders that are not spiritual leaders will look at guys like you and say they're prideful, they're arrogant, they're obnoxious, whatever adjective they wanna throw. And really what they're saying is he's calling out the giant that I was too afraid to call out. Exactly, exactly. America has created this gay effeminate Christianity. They view God through a Western lens. They think Jesus was a weak figure who was a tolerant guy. We view Jesus carrying a nice little lamb. Every picture you see of him, his hair is flowing, carrying a nice lamb. That's not the Jesus I see. The Jesus I see was a bold and courageous man who people wanted to kill him for what he said. So America has created this gay version of Jesus Christ. Jesus was not effeminate. Jesus was a bold line. I always tell people Jesus was not a soft guy. He had six packs. He was the most ripped guy you'll ever meet. He was a very bold and courageous man. He flipped tables in the temple.

He got a whip out. He literally destroyed people. And this is a problem I have. I seen Tucker Carlson the other day. Tucker Carlson, he said, when Donald Trump mocked Allah, Donald Trump said, praise be to Allah. And Tucker Carlson acts like a Christian. He said, that's not very Christ-like. That's not very Christian. And the Christians were so angry that they were mocking Allah. And they're like, Jesus wouldn't do that. The Bible doesn't speak about that. I'm like, what Bible are you reading? Since when did Christians not mock false idols and false prophets? Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal. Like people would say, you guys, I don't like the way you mock false prophets and the way you mock Muhammad. I'm like, I will mock Muhammad as much as I want because Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal. Elijah said, maybe your God is in the toilet. Maybe your God is asleep. And that's what we're doing now. Every false ideology that raises itself up in America, that raises itself up against the God of the Bible, my job is not to tolerate it. My job is to destroy it. What I think is interesting with people,

they're like, well, I just don't like how you do it. And my response typically is, well, I don't like how you do it. And so you can not like the expressions of how we do it or how you do it, but I don't like your silence. I don't like your cowardness. And so each one of us is responsible for setting a standard. Each one of us is responsible for confronting sin in three different ways. At Mercy Culture Spiritual Leadership School, we recognize that leaders are everywhere, but spiritual leaders are developed. Spiritual leaders walk with God and know his word. voice. The heart of our school is to raise up reformers who are able to spiritually lead in any room they walk into. We do this through encounters, teaching and impartation, service, equipping, and activation. You can attend SLS in person or online. If you'd like more information, text SLS to 59090. Outside the expression, outside the personalities, and everybody has different personalities and different ways to handle stuff. But to the topic itself, I feel like the church in America is asleep when it comes to Islam, where you see it creeping in. You see Mandani being sworn in on the Quran. You're seeing the leader of one of the greatest cities in America is now in open practicing. I personally believe that Obama is a Muslim. That's my personal opinion. He pretended to be a Christian, and the only thing he did was support Muslim values compared to Christian values. And so you're watching this come in through all these different aspects in America. You're seeing what happens right now in Minnesota. And I feel like the church doesn't realize what's going on and what is at stake. Begin to break down for the individual that doesn't know, that thinks that Islam is just like any other religion, and we need to be tolerant, and we have the coexist bumper stickers, and we want to be loving. Explain to the average viewer that doesn't know what is Islam really about. Islam for the last 1400 years have been destroying nations and cities. Islam for the last 1400 years have been going in Christian nations and Islamizing them. So Americans don't study

history, so what ends up happening is history repeats itself. So my country, Egypt, 1400 years ago, we were 90% Christian. In fact, there was a historian that went to Egypt, and he wrote down his experience of Egypt, and he said, as I traveled from the top of Egypt to the Nile River, all I could hear was worship songs and hymns. That's how Christian Egypt was. Islam came in, conquered Egypt, made it Muslim. Now Egypt went from 90% Christian to 10% Christian. Islam went from 0% to being 90% of the population. So Egypt was Christian, conquered by Islam. Morocco was Christian, conquered by Islam. Yemen was Christian, conquered by Islam. Turkey was Christian, conquered by Islam. Iraq was Christian, conquered by Islam. All these nations that are just listed were Christians conquered by Islam, and America thinks they're not the next guy on the list. And when you say conquered, break that down. What has been the strategy that they come in and take over for the average Christian that thinks like, hey, I could just be kind and loving, and this thing is going to work itself out? So this is it. The way Islam conquered 1400 years ago is different to the way they're conquering today. Islam has two strategies. The first strategy was conquered by the sword, which they would go in a Christian country, and within 24 hours, they would burn down your churches, they would kill your pastors, rape your women, take your kids. That was their first strategy. Win by war, win by the sword. And Muhammad was a warlord. Muhammad was not a nice, peaceful prophet. He was a political leader that went around killing people. Muhammad came up to men. In the first 12 years of Muhammad preaching, just so everybody understands, there are verses in the Quran that are very peaceful. Muslims come up to us all the time and say, hey, look at this verse in the Quran. It says tolerate the unbeliever, and tolerate this guy, and love this guy. Those verses are in the Quran. So 570 AD, 570 years after Jesus Christ, Muhammad is born in the Middle East. That's 570 AD. In 610 AD, at the age of 40, Muhammad in the Middle East goes in a cave, and he encounters a spirit. And this is where Islam was birthed. Islam was birthed in a cave, and the spirit tells him, Muhammad, Christians are wrong. The Jews are wrong. You are the one true prophet. Go and establish Islam. Muhammad thinks it's actually a demon in that moment. He encounters Angel Gabriel, and at the beginning, he thinks it's a demon. He's shaking. He's hiding from a demon. Later on, he realizes, no, it's an angel, and he begins preaching Islam. And for the first 12 years in Mecca, that's where he started preaching, he preached a tolerant, nice message. Nobody believed him. Nobody listened. In 12 years, Muhammad converted 100 people. So after 12 years

in Mecca, he moves from Mecca to a city called Medina. And that's when he flips his strategy, and realizes, he realizes my preaching is not working. My sermons are not working. I'm going to have to pick up the sword. He gets a bunch of men around him in the city, tells them, hey, follow me, and I'm going to give you gold, girls, and glory. I'm going to give you everything your sinful nature wants. You see, in Christianity, God says, deny your flesh. Muhammad says, follow me, and I'm going to give you what your flesh wants. So these are the things that every spiritual father warns young spiritual sons, be careful of these three things. This is the thing that you get. That's what you get in Islam. So Jesus says, deny your flesh, give up your money, give up your lust, give up your pride. Muhammad says, follow me, and I'll give you girls. I'll give you lust. I'll give you pride. You'll feel like a conqueror. You win the nations and kill people. I'm going to give you virgins. I'm going to give you prostitutes. I'm going to give you everything and all the sexually perverted men are like, yeah, let's go. And that's why I tell people any man that converts to Islam is either dumb or sexually perverted. There's only two options. If you convert to Islam from Christianity, you are either dumb and you don't study or you're sexually perverted because you just want what Muhammad promises 72 virgins in heaven and all this stuff. So Muhammad promises men this and the sexually perverted tribal men, they're like, let's go. Give me girls, goals and girls, gold and glory. And he gets a bunch of men around him. He conquers cities. He kills people. Muhammad dies. Okay. Muhammad dies.

We believe by poison. Um, after he dies, believe it or not, within a hundred years of Muhammad's death, Islam conquers 70% of the Christian world. Wow. Can you imagine like this is their version of revival. Muslims call this the golden age, the golden age where Islam spread like wildfire. He went around killing every person that got in his way. You either convert to Islam or you die or you pay Jizya tax. Now what's happening is Islam realizes the West is too strong to conquer by the sword. Now that's where you come in the second part of Islamizing a nation. First part, you win by the sword. Islam looked at the West. They looked at Europe. They looked at Canada, Australia and America, and they realized this nations are too strong for us. We can't just send in our men and kill people. So they flipped their strategy from war to immigration, from war to getting in political power, like Zohra Mamdani, from killing people to getting in and acting peaceful that now, instead of conquering nations within 24 hours, now they're conquering nations in a hundred years. So Muslims are very patient. I'll give it to them.

They're taking their time with America. There was a document released by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the document was titled a hundred year plan of how Islam will conquer America. A hundred year plan of how Islam will conquer America. And when you read this a hundred year plan of them conquering the USA, you see that they're not up to year five of conquering America. They're up to year 35 of conquering the United States. They have been playing the long game, getting in through immigration, having more babies than us, getting in political spheres, getting in. And now they're up to year 35. And if America doesn't wake up, we're going to lose this country. Just like we lost Egypt, just like we lost Morocco, Turkey, America's next. I want you to compare Jesus and Allah. Because a lot of times when people are looking through this stuff, people just want to be tolerant. We've been taught like tolerance is a virtue when the Bible actually says, don't tolerate sexual sin and perversion. Revelations two, speak of the Jezebel spirit and all those attributes that come with it. But when you look at a religion, you're looking at the leader of it. So Jesus versus Allah. Explain the difference of the two men and what they taught. Because a lot of people don't know enough about Allah to realize the wickedness that surrounded a man that created this false religion. Yeah. I always tell people Allah is a demon. Allah is simply an Arabic word that translates to God. But I use Allah in a term that Muslims don't have a name for the God. So they call him Allah. I believe the Muslim God, Allah is a demon.

How do I know he's a demon? The Muslim Allah, every time you hear the name Allah, someone's in pain, there is blood being shed. Every time you hear the name, Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar translate in Arabic to my God is greater. October 7th, the Muslims went around raping women, killing people, beheading people, butchering babies. What did they shout? My God is greater. Allah Akbar. Every time you hear the name, Allah Akbar, something's blowing up. Someone's dying. Someone's being raped. There's always pain, weeping and cries in Nigeria right now. They're shouting Allah Akbar while butchering our people. And that's how I know he's a demon because the Bible says the thief comes to kill, steal and destroy. Only the devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. But God says I've come to give them life and life to the full. When you speak the name of Allah, people die. When you speak the name of Jesus, people come to life. At the name of Allah, people die. Blood is shed. People are destroyed. Nations are destroyed. At the name of Jesus, people come to life. The blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear. That's the difference between Allah and Jesus. The other reason I believe Allah is a demon is because of the verse in the Quran that says a Muslim is granted forgiveness at the first drop of his blood. No Muslim is confident that they're going to heaven. You ask any Muslim, are you going to heaven? They tell you, I don't know. They can't know. The Quran tells them you've got to go to the mosque. You've got to go to Mecca. You've got to fast during Ramadan. You've got to give to the mosque. You've got to do all these things in order to earn God's favor. And when you get to heaven, we'll weigh your good deeds versus your bad deeds and see if you get to heaven. But there is one way, only one way Muslims are guaranteed salvation. One way. And that is to be a martyr for Allah. And it says at the first drop of your

blood, the moment your blood touches the ground, you are saved. And this is how I know it's a demon because this is literally the opposite of Christianity. Muslims are saved through shedding their blood. We are saved by the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. And that's my greatest way of evangelizing to the Muslims. I tell Muslims, you don't need to shed your blood, bro. You don't need to die for Allah. You can actually believe in Jesus Christ that he laid his life down. and be saved. But then there's Muhammad vs. Jesus. So that was Allah vs. Jesus. Now there's Muhammad, their founder, vs. Jesus, our founder. Muhammad says, kill the infidel. Jesus says, love your enemies. Muhammad, before he died, he said, may Allah curse the Jews and the Christians. Jesus on the cross said, Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they do. Muhammad had 11 wives and had sex slaves. He had concubines. Jesus had no wives. He honored women. He was holy. He was pure. Women wept at his feet. Prostitutes came to him. He was a holy man. Muhammad, in the span of 12 years, started 84 wars and raids in his lifetime. Jesus started zero wars, zero raids. He was a peaceful, loving man. Put ears back on. Yeah. Sorry? Put ears back on. Muhammad chopped ears off.

Jesus put your ear back on, which you're right. It's a very good comparison there. Muhammad married a young girl. Muhammad was 54 years old. He married Aisha when she's six, had sex with her when she's nine. Jesus, a young children, although he was bold and courageous, the young children ran to him. Like, you think about the Middle East, men are like these tough guys, you know. Jesus must have been so bold, yet so meek that the young children were willing to run up to him at the time. Muhammad, the woman caught in adultery in the Quran, there's the same story as the Bible. Muhammad just plagiarized the Bible, by the way. Muhammad was dumb. He was very stupid. He couldn't read, write. So he just, someone recited the Bible to him and he just copied the Bible, the Torah, and pagan texts, and he made up the Quran. And that's why you see a lot of stories from the Bible and the Torah and pagan stories in the Quran. So Muhammad looked at the story of the, you know, this, the adulterous woman, and he was like, I'll make up my own. So the woman caught in adultery, they brought her to Muhammad, he stoned her to death. The woman caught in adultery with Jesus,

Jesus said, neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more. Muhammad, when he encountered an evil spirit, a demon, the Quran says Muhammad was terrified. He was terrified. Like, what kind of prophet is that? That he can't, he can't deal with an evil spirit. The Quran literally says Muhammad, when he encountered this evil spirit, they believe it's an angel, Gabriel, we believe it's an evil spirit. He was shaking in the cave, hiding under a blanket. He was so scared. In fact, after encountering this evil spirit, Muhammad tried to jump off a mountain because he was suicidal. Jesus, when demons came to him, he didn't run from them. They ran from Jesus Christ. And that's why I worship Jesus Christ. When you just compare Muhammad versus Jesus, there is no comparison. Muhammad died by poison. Jesus died on a cross willingly for the sins of the world. And Muslims still believe today Muhammad is dead, rotting in his tomb. Jesus Christ is still alive. You can go to his tomb today. He's not dead. He's resurrected. So when people compare Muhammad versus Jesus, I'm like, bro, there's no comparison.

I wanted to take a moment and talk about one of the greatest injustices of our time. It's human trafficking. Right now, there are fewer than 700 long-term restoration beds nationwide for survivors of human trafficking. I'm going to say it again, 700 nationwide with millions and millions of people that are trafficked, only 700 places for them to go. To answer this cry of justice, our church has birthed a ministry called the Justice Reform. Right now in Fort Worth, Texas, the Justice Reform is building a long-term restoration home called the Justice Residence. It will house up to 100 women rescued out of human trafficking. The Justice Residence is a biblically-based and presence-driven facility that will disciple hundreds of women into healing and restoration with Jesus. I wanted to ask you and invite you to become a monthly partner with the Justice Residence. Help it make it possible for these women to have a safe place to learn and grow in their relationship with Jesus. To join us in this fight and to partner with us, text PARTNER to 59090 or visit thejusticereform.com. I want to talk about Christian nationalism for a second because this is a buzzword from woke progressive Christians that have selective outrage, that freak out over memes, but could care less when Biden had men with prosthetic breasts dancing on the White House lawn on our Easter Sunday.

They could care less that activists were hired into all areas of government and they persecuted Christians. They can care less that black women were thrown into jail for silently praying outside of Planned Parenthoods, where senior citizens were persecuted for trying to minister at abortion clinics, that Catholics and Christians and Jews were persecuted. I mean, this is cot-proof and the woke pastors are silent. It's crickets, but when there is a distasteful meme, and even ones that appear to be blasphemous, and at the same time are bad taste and shouldn't be done. But the outrage over memes and graphics compared to the actual actions of unrighteous, wicked leaders that have stolen billions of dollars, that manipulated, that falsely... that are rigging elections. I mean, it's insane, the selective outrage. And I constantly hear nonstop from woke progressive Christians, the complaint and the dangers of Christian nationalism. But I have not heard one of them talk about Muslim nationalism. Explain what you see the difference going on and the distractions of the enemy, getting people to look one way, while the real threat is somewhere else. Yeah, Islamic nationalism is Sharia law. So for all my people that don't want Christian nationalism, what do you want? You want Islamic nationalism?

Islamic nationalism means the Muslims are gonna get in power, they're gonna establish Sharia law, they're gonna get rid of the 10 commandments, they're gonna put Sharia law. Under Sharia law, for my people listening, under Sharia law, homosexuals are thrown off buildings, transgenders are stoned to death. Under Sharia law, husbands can beat their wives up. Under Sharia law, you can't open up a church. Under Sharia law, women have to cover their head. Under Sharia law, an old man can marry a child bride. That's Sharia law for you. So for my people that are attacking Christian nationalism, do you want Islamic nationalism? And the other thing for me is, a lot of people, culture has told the church for so long to stay out of politics. They've told us, stay out of politics. They've shouted it from the rooftop, stay out of politics. Stay in your pulpit, stay in your pulpit and podium, shut up about politics. And the Christians in America, we listen to them. We listen. We said, all right, you're right. I'm gonna stay out of politics. I'm not getting involved. I'm not gonna talk about homosexuality. I'm not gonna talk about gay marriage. I'm not gonna talk about abortion.

I'm not gonna talk about this stuff. And Christians, we've given over to Caesar what doesn't belong to Caesar. And that's what Jesus said, right? When he said to him, should we render the tax to Caesar? Jesus said, whose face is on a coin? And he said, Caesar. He said, give to Caesar, render to Caesar, give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, but give back to God what belongs to God. And what we've done as Christians, that we've given to the government what doesn't belong to the government, which is defining marriage. That's not belong to the government, that belongs to God. The sanctity of human life, the government doesn't decide that. God decides that. So we said, all right, stay out of politics. And the Christians said out of politics, guess who's getting involved in politics now? The Muslims are getting involved in politics. Zohra Mamdani now, the mayor of New York City is a Muslim. The mayor of Debo, Michigan is a Muslim. The mayor of Minneapolis is a Muslim. Now all these cities now, Islam is rising. So you decide for all my atheists listening to me, do you want Christianity ruling your nation, or do you want Islam ruling your nation? And I really prefer Christianity.

For me, Christian nationalism is really me saying, I'm not saying that everybody needs to be a Christian, but what I am saying is, I want a nation that fears the Lord. Even secular atheists that understand healthy civilization will look at Christian leadership versus Muslim leadership and say, this is a better route to go for a healthy civilization. 100%, exactly. All that knew the big atheist guys, like 50 years ago, atheism was very cool. All the young guys were becoming atheists. Atheism is stupid now because everybody knows there's evil. And when there's evil, there's good. And now they're trying to figure out what's good. So the atheists now, especially in Europe, all these big atheist voices, they, 50 years ago, said, we don't want Christianity here. Now Islam is rising. The rape cases in the UK is at an all-time high through Pakistani Muslims. The knife attacks is at an all-time high through Pakistani Muslims. And now the atheists are like, crap, I think I got that one wrong. I think I prefer Christianity over Islam. So that's what's happening now, is the atheists are waking up and saying, we rejected the best ideology ever, which is Christianity. The Bible is the greatest book in the world.

Something I've found a lot in Christian culture is back to the David Goliath, arrogant, prideful analogy, is that a lot of people get put off by guys like you and your brother, guys like me, because of the intensity or in the boldness, but they don't realize the kindness behind the scenes. What a lot of people can't understand is the difference between warring in the spirit, where you're using language, demons, spiritual warfare, and the people that are involved. And so when you say intense stuff like gay or demonic or what these buzz words that I'm sure will get censored on YouTube for saying, we're talking about spirits while there's people in the crossfire that we're still ministering to on a regular basis. And so what a lot of the progressive, when I'm saying progressive and woke, I'm trying to use words that people will understand, but really what I mean is weak, immature, fake Christians. What they don't get is that Jesus held the tension of grace and truth. And really that's where we find mercy, where you can say, get behind me, Satan. can call out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and Sadducees, where he can deal with intense topics while ministering to people that are bound in that sin at the same time. Because while we're saying this transgender sex cult ideology is wicked, evil, and demonic, full stop, we believe that. Transgenders, those that are struggling with same-sex attraction, are welcome at our churches. They're welcome at Mercy Culture. They're welcome at ECHO. And we will love you, and we'll throw our arms around you. We'll help you find the correct bathroom, but you are welcome at our

churches. And you're going to have a community come around you that is not going to identify you by your sin, but who you are made to be as a child of God that will love you as you are. But we're not going to pretend that's really who you are, because no adjective gets to come in front of your identity as a Christian. You hear gay Christian, straight Christian, trans Christian. No, no, no, no. All of us are sinful people that had to deny our flesh, pick up our cross, and follow Jesus. And that's the tension that a lot of people don't understand from aggressive, intense, bold guys like you and your brother and your family members. But behind the scenes, those people that are struggling are welcome in your ministry. You're seeing deliverance in those. You will witness to Muslims. You will share the gospel. You will love these people. Talk about the tension, because a lot of people only see that side of you, because they don't see behind the scenes. So I get accused of the same stuff all the time. You guys are so mean, and can't you be more nice and more tolerant? Okay, all that nonsense, because they don't see behind the scenes. When the truth is, the guys preaching a woke, compromised, fake Christian, they're the ones that are not loving, because they're allowing people to remain in the bondage of their sin, to be persecuted by those demonic spirits. They're not getting freedom, and those are the leaders that are going to have blood on their hands. Those are the ones that have to answer before God for their inability to really protect the sheep. I can't tell you enough how many homosexuals have come up to me after my sermon, as I do my preaching tour across America, weeping and hugging me, going on their knees and saying, forgive me, Lord. I kid you not, Pastor Landon, I've traveled across America, and as I've traveled in the green room, I've sat in green rooms with pastors, and the pastor looked at me and said, Martin, I beg you, don't mention homosexuality in the sermon. I kid you not. Call their names out, all of them. Say their names right now. I've sat in green rooms where pastors told me, don't speak about homosexuality. Don't speak about abortion. They've told my wife, Millicent, don't speak about abortion. Don't speak about dystopics, and they told me, please, you're going to offend people, and I told the pastor, I will not leave out one word out of the Word of God. I told him, Pastor, the Word of God works. Stop being scared. Let me release the Bible. I get up on that pulpit, and I preach the Word of God, and at the end, I kid you not, half the church is at the altar. Those churches that he said, oh, my church is already Christian, you know, they love God. No, no. Half of the church is at the altar repenting. Every week, for the last four weeks, every week, I've had one homosexual come to me

after my sermon, hugging me, and weeping, and telling me, Pastor Martin, you have been the only pastor that told me this, and I'm so grateful for you, and I go on my knees with them, and I weep with them, and I pray, and I believe in that moment that God washes them as white as snow. They are made new. They're a brand new creation. The old is gone, and new has come, and that's what these guys don't understand. The only reason we are intense, the only reason we shout and yell, the only reason I am intense is because I know this sermon might be the sermon that pulls you out of hell. This sermon might be the one sermon that pulls you straight out of the gates of hell, and I am not going to allow any coward pastor to hold me back. I've told pastors before, if you're not going to let me preach this sermon, get me and my wife out of your green room. I'm not coming. I don't want your honorarium. I don't want your invitation. I don't want anything to do with you. I have one message from God, and this is what I tell people. The Word of God, the Word of God is not a pet to put on a leash. We treat the Word of God like a pet. Pastors say to the Word of God, you know, you stay here. You sit here. You can't go to that topic. If you make people feel better, they do the same thing with the Holy Spirit. They do the same thing. You stay here. You can't go there. You can't preach about abortion. You can't preach about homosexuality, and this is what I love what Charles Spurgeon said. Charles Spurgeon said, the Word of God is not a dog to put on a leash. The Word of God is a lion to release, and lions, you don't put lions on a leash. You release them, and that's what I do when I preach. I just release the lion, and some people get torn by the lion. Some people get offended by the lion, but some people get saved by the lion. I'm not sure what the lion's going to do to you, but my job is just to release the Word of God. His Word is a fire shot up in my bones, and that's what I tell pastors in the green room. The Word of God is not a twinkle, twinkle in my belly. Some pastors, I'm sick of seeing preachers stand at the pulpit like this, and preachers, if the Word of God is like a dead, they just had like, they need some Red Bull or something. The Word of God is not like a tinkle in my belly. The Word of God is a fire, as Jeremiah said, a fire shot up in my bones. your burns being on fire, that's how you are to preach. Every preacher in America, preach like you're on fire. And as John Wesley said, I light myself on fire and I let the world watch me burn. I remember in 2015, I released a book called Gay Awareness. And there was a pastor in, what city was it? I want to say Philly, pretty sure it was Philly. His name is Pastor Joey,

pastor of a church called the Block Church, great church out there. And he said, I want you to come out and minister on homosexuality. And I mean, I had pastors tell me, I don't want to touch your book, your message with a 10 foot pole. And those were actually pastors who were in hidden sin that are no longer doing ministry today. And so I go out a day before just to meet with him. He's asking me a bunch of questions before I minister and a really good guy. And he's a shepherd. And so he cared about the hearts of people, family members that are struggling, all sorts of stuff. So we have dinner and he has all these questions and we get done. And I said to him, you didn't ask me or you haven't brought up the most important thing. And he said, what's that? And I said, you have these concerns about people and how they're going to receive this word that I come and bring tomorrow. I said, but you haven't brought up the thousands of people in your church that when they hear the gospel being preached, when they hear the truth being preached, they'll never go down that road. And pastors need to be aware that the world is going nonstop hardcore after your young people. And you have to be willing to go the full distance to match what the world's doing to bring truth and clarity. It's not just all the people that are currently struggling, but your ability to preach the truth and touch these topics will keep people from going down there. A hundred percent. Paul, where history is about to emerge, legalizing gay marriage in Minnesota. This morning, the Supreme Court recognized that the constitution guarantees marriage equality. I was a young minister and I was seeing all of these young people struggling with homosexuality and same sex attractions and nobody was talking about it. It was this taboo subject. And I was grieved in my heart because I saw so many people struggling that needed help and they were looking for spiritual leaders to help them, to teach them the Bible and to stand with them. So I began to ask the Lord, give me your heart and your mind for sexuality. I spent a multi-year journey seeking God, studying God's word. Gay awareness is a Bible study. It's a Bible study of the heart of the father and the mind of Christ. It's a story of deliverance. It's a story of righteousness. It's a story of freedom. And so many different individuals that are following Jesus and living successful Christ-centered lives by denying their flesh and following Jesus. Gay awareness will help you learn what the Bible says and equip you to live a holy life. Gay Awareness by Landon Schott. Available now on Amazon.com. Let me ask you this question. What is the best way for the

average Christian that loves God but just doesn't know enough to start to minister to the Muslim community? They got friends, co-worker, Mohammed's working with them at a coffee shop. What is the best way to begin to engage their heart with bringing the gospel? The best way for Islam, there's a few ways. One of the ways is the love of Jesus Christ. They don't understand love. Muslims have no idea what love is in Islam. God does not love. God is not personal. They don't even have a name for their God. So just beginning to describe that our God, Jesus Christ, doesn't just have a name. Our God has a name. Our God is a father. Our God is personal. Our God came down to earth, lived among men. This for Muslims is just, and that's why Muslims tease us when we speak about this because it's beyond their comprehension that God would step down to be man. God would die for you. God would love you. Their whole experience of God is what I can do for God, not what God did for me. Islam's worldview is what can I do for God? How can I give God? How can I die for God? So I think one of the best ways to evangelize to the Muslims is selling them the love of Jesus Christ. Sell them the gospel. 2,000 years ago, he who knew no sin became sin that you might become the righteousness of God. You don't have to work for your salvation. You don't have to go to Mecca pilgrimage. You don't have to fast in Ramadan to be saved. You are saved through the blood of Jesus Christ and we've seen hundreds of Muslims come to Christ. Like people always tell me you hate the Muslims. I love the Muslims and the reason I attack Islam and Muhammad so much is because I love the Muslims. I love Muslims but I hate Islam and the reason I hate Islam is because I love the Muslims. I hate Islam with a passion. I hate Muhammad with a passion because he is the one holding the Muslims down from encountering Jesus Christ and that's what I tell people. Muslim women are always wearing hijab. Muslim women always wear a hijab. They cover their eyes. I believe God spoke to me one time and told me this is not just a physical covering. This is a spiritual covering. The devil is blinding Muslims. Muslims from seeing the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, who came 2,000 years ago. And we got to pray for the Muslims. We got to fast for the Muslims and we got to evangelize to the Muslims. And, and, and Muslims need the love of Christ. I always tell if any Muslim listening to me here, I love you and Jesus loves you. And, and it's crazy. I was in California, um, at a campus with turning point and we were debating in the

open and a bunch of Muslims came and we were debating with the Muslims for an hour. And by the NFL, the Holy spirit, tell me to this, the Muslim leader of the, of the group there, he's a big Muslim guy. No one wants to debate him cause they're scared of him. And God told me to stand up on my hand on his shoulder and tell him I love you. And I stood up with the Muslim guy, stopped the debate. I got up and I put my hand on his shoulder and I looked at the Muslim guy who was angry at me and I said to him, I love you. I love you. And I'm praying for you and I want you to come to Christ. I told him on the way here, I prayed for you. Did you know that? And he just ignored it. It was like love. Like the fact that a Christian would tell him, I love you. That's shocking. Cause he hates me. And I was like to him, do you love me? Do you love me? And he ignored me. He ignored, he didn't want to answer the question and asked him five times in front of everybody. Do you love me? He ignored me. He didn't want to answer. I squeezed the answer out of him. I said, stop ignoring me. I told you, I love you. I love you. And I want you to come to Christ.

Do you love me? And he ended up saying, no, I don't love you. I hate you because the Quran commands me to. And one of the best ways to reach as Muslims in America is to love them. I will hate the crap out of Islam, but I will love the crap out of the Muslim. I will, I will buy you something. And, and by the way, I want to make sure my listeners don't get it confused because there's this new idea in America where they say, let's bring the Muslims here to save them. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that there are, there are the Muslims already in the USA. I love them, but the Muslims in the Middle East, we don't need to bring them here to save them. This is a huge misconception in America now, a new movement in Christianity rising where they're like, let's bring all the Muslims here. God is bringing them to America. Let's save them. No, that's called suicide. That's stupidity. Uh, Jesus didn't say bring the world to save them. He said, go into all the world. So if anybody feels called to the Muslim nations, don't bring them here by immigration, go to the Middle East. Uh, that's what missionary is for, right? I think America, they don't like the idea of missionaries because you go to the Middle East and to save them and you might die for the faith. They don't like it. So they're going halfway of a missionary. Let's bring them here and be a missionary to them here. No, that's not missionary.

Being a missionary means you go to them. Um, so America, I think that they're committing suicide now by bringing them all in. Um, and just for everybody listening to me, God is moving in the Middle East and Muslims are leaving Islam by the millions. So great news. Uh, in Iran, 2023, 50,000 mosques shut down in Iran, 50,000 mosques out of 75,000 mosques shut down in Iran because Muslims are not going. Um, the fastest growing church in the world right now is Iran. Uh, Indonesia, I was just preaching there. And as I'm preaching a bunch of women in hijabs at the back, repenting of their sin, hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Indonesia are coming to Christ. In Gaza, 2023, 200 Muslim Gazans saw visions of Jesus the same night. God is moving in the Middle East. So I'm not telling, I'm not saying don't save the Muslims. I'm just saying, let's not bring them here to destroy America. Let's go to them and save them in the Middle East. I'd like to close with this. Would you pray over the Christians that are listening for a boldness that is on you to come on them and that God would give them a new passion and love to really not, not, not, not the weak, not the woke, not the progressive Christian to, to accept their sin, pretend that you love, but really, really love and have a heart for the Muslim community. Amen. Amen. Amen. Would you pray with me, Lord? I thank you God for every listener right now. God, in their car, in their home, God, whatever they're doing right now. Thank you, Lord, that your presence is there, God.

And I pray, Holy Spirit, of every person listening, God, I pray for boldness and courage, Lord. I thank you, God, that it is not by might nor by power, but by your spirit. I thank you, God, that boldness is not a matter of your gender. Boldness is not a matter of your age. Boldness is not a matter of your personality type or your skin color. Lord, I thank you that boldness comes from the Holy Spirit. Lord, I pray of every person right now, as Jeremiah said, if I try to remain silent, if I try to not preach, if I try to keep your word out of my mouth, Jeremiah says, your word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary of holding it in. I pray right now, God, every person listening to me, that they've been scared to preach the truth. They've been scared to share their faith, whether with the Muslim, whether with the homosexual, whether with an atheist. I pray for every person listening to me right now that from this moment on, God, your word will not just be in their mind, but it will be a fire in their bones. God, fill them with your spirit, send them into their schools, send them into their universities, send them into their workplaces, send them into the streets, send them across the world to bring a revival and reformation like we've never seen before. And we will see a revival in the mighty name of Jesus in Islam, in the Middle East, in Egypt, in Morocco, in Turkey. We will see a revival of Muslims coming to Jesus Christ and repenting of their sin in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen.
