I agree with you and God bless Pastor Jack,and all Pastors that are seeing their backs up against the wall forced to stand for the flock no matter what the course of events ensue. If I may suggest, fix it in your mind's your going to have confrontation with local authorities at least for a time so be prepared,and stayed prayed up.Once a plan, a time etc., is established to open up church, do so with cameras running everywhere from the parking lots to all over inside.Have at least one attorney present to witness and give counsel to you and law enforcement. Everyone stay together is groups or pairs at all times; Have volunteers able to communicate at all times; Be able to identify and verify that law enforcement are who they say they are; Know your U.S. constitutional rights before hand; Have all your personal business,and home life prepared in the event you or others are taken into custody; Have established a after situation briefing for all via online,or other means;Before action plan , seek legal advice about what questions you must answer to authorities et. If your taken into custody stay calm,rational,observe,and mentally log all you see and hear.While your in custody do not allow yourself to be upset and goaded into verbal or physical confrontation with staff or others.Know in your heart and mind your stay will only be a little while until your attorney gets you released.Know in your heart and mind that that God's peace that passes all understanding guards your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ Holy name.Keep in mind also , there are Christian law enforcement working too and they will watch whether you see them or not,whether you hear them or not. God bless in Jesus Christ name. The Lord God in Jesus name has got your backs, Amen.

@@peregrinus8007 amen!

Mr. Johnson, did the disciples “obey the governing authorities” when told NOT to speak in the name of Jesus? Most of them were martyred because in the face of authorities they continued to speak in HIS NAME

Pastor Jack I am one who listens and is encouraged almost daily by your testimony! Though we will not be Tribulation Saints we now can live out Revelation 12:11! Thank you for your courage to lead the way!!! God’s Blessings upon you from His Riches in Glory!

Brandy Collins This happened because the church was sleeping been sleeping for a long time ago He has tried to wake the church up but the church wanted to do things it’s own way so these are the consequences and I don’t think God’s going to remove the consequences there’s something we must learn. Most every church in the book of Revelation the Lord had something against them ...God has something against most churches today and maybe he’s removing their candlestick it appears to be so.

We must open. Missionaries have always placed themselves in danger to preach the word and help people who need help with whatever, where ever!

The church never closed.

@@truthclips I agree. Paul explained that to the Corinthians. He was there in spirit, just not in body. We are all one with one another if we are one with Jesus Christ. We as individual members have just been working together separately. Still praying. Still getting on the phone, or, on line, encouraging, and praying with one another. The heart of the believers are still beating new life into others through sharing the love of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Be blessed!!!!

Amen!

Anthony Fallone There are none open in my area. I would go if I could find one.

@@coricook9909 If you are on this medium, my I say, you are going to church, just not as we are use to. If the Government closed all worship centers, like some governors and mayors have said they would, do you not think we would be meeting in homes as our brothers and sisters do in full Communist countries. (I say full because we may be heading there soon).

Gavin newsom just want to keep us locked down for the mail in votes 🗳 so they can cheat on the election! Because he’s endorsing Biden.

@@venusochoa8657 h

TIG NIM Absolutely yes! You are so correct!

God may not want “the doors to be reopened”. Maybe He’s either caused or allowed them to to shut for a reason.

@@mr.bnatural3700 I read my bible!! Mark 16:15-16 Matthew 28:19, 10:27 2 Timothy 2:24-25, 4:2 Luke 9:2, 9:60 Acts 5:20 😚😄

Exactly and from the USA too. for a lot of us this has been our church due to the apostasy. if i could find a true local church, i would go. hopefully God is cleaning his house

Agreed. Listening in from Malaysia

Spot on, Greatgrandma!!!!

It may come to going underground. Restructuring is an issue. Big church, big payments due? All in God's will. 🙏

Yes, Amen!

Praying for you Pastor Jack thank you for being bold for our Lord Jesus GOD WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED This is a new beginning for believers in America we must be bold and follow Jesus no matter the cost I am standing with you in prayer and in any way I can

Good day pastor Jackhibbs! I am a resident of Palo Leyte, Philippines. I listened thru your message. I appreciate your passion in sharing the word of God and your supreme loyalty to Christ and the rest of God's church leaders including me as well. I also admire you envoking us pastors worldwide esp in California to show our allegiance to our Sovereign God over God's delegated authorities such as gov't authorities that we obey ought to God rather than man quoting it from apostles in the book of Acts. And you implied that the gov't authorities have prevented us from physical meeting together as a church for edification and evangelism. However, as we all know the issue here is NOT that the gov't prohibits us from doing church activities simply because they oppose our faith. Rather, it is because of health reason: so that this contagious coronvirus disease be prevented from spreading. In other words, to save lives of the people. That's why they require us to stay home and if we go out for necessity or emergency we have to wear mass, cec pass and observe at least 1 meter social distancing. And we are all aware we are commanded to obey the gov't (Rom 13). Yes just like I have fears what would happen the lockdown would for months. We don't know but God knows. Thus, I am praying that God stop Covid-19 so we can resume church gathering at least once a week. For me I am not complaining against the gov't for imposing this new law order for it is to save lives and we pastors our advocacy is to save lives also not destroy them, isn't it? I am at peace and enjoy praying and worshipping and reading and meditating on the word of God at home. After all Romans 8:28-30 all things: good and bad things God orchestrate them to happen for the good of those who love Him (genuine followers of Christ). In other words, there is a blessing in disguise of covid-19. However I don't ignore the distruction it brings us. But this crisis is not permanent. This is like a storm. During the storms of life we are under His mighty wings and we can overcome fears for God is in full control. In view whereof, I politely disagree with your stand persuading pastors to disobey the government that God instituted by resuming our church weekly services and doing ministries. .

@@jerrylimpiado4689 please wake up and smell the coffee. This is much more than just a virus, which is being used as a panic button in order to accomplish a diabolical agenda, and number 1 is to shut down and silence the voice of the church. Do you really think it makes any sense at all for the whole world to come to a standstill just because of a convirus? Do not be deceived. Grace and peace to you.

Thank you Jeanne Caley. God bless you and yours.

Jeanne Caley That’s right, where are the big bad pastors who always talked about going to jail for Jesus? Where are they now?

AMEN!!!

Stacy Gregory Amen!

I have been thinking about Daniel all night!!! He didnt now to the evil and the king, but stayed on God's side.....and what did God do? God knows each heart, and we cannot keep silent nor bow to those forces against our God!!! And I dont know how anyone cannot see that ALL of this against Gid and His children!!! I am and will be praying, but I think you know what you need to do!! Are we groaning?!?!

Susan Kaitukoff how did you get the information that 4/12 was opening this week give like that info

Same here in WA state. We are starting house church. We waited initially for our local churches to snap out of it. When that clearly wasn't going to happen, we decided we ARE the local church. Praying for OR. Stand firm. Our redemption draws near

Oregonian here also. Coupla yrs back, went several times to a nearby CC church, hoping it would be like the CC churches on line. Sadly this church was more like: here's your warm milk and cookies, and a fuzzy blankie togoto sleep with. End of the week nap time, instead of firing up, gurding up to face a new week. First time there, was asked by the pastors wife what brought us to their church, I answered I'd been enjoying JD Farag's online prophseys, and his is a CC church. Ya woulda thought I'd let out a long string of cuss words. Actually, I mighta gotten a better reception if I had! Youlda thought I had..?.. covid! Went back a few more times, but it still didn't get any better. Seems to be just a place too go, to be able to check off the list: "go to church on Sunday". One of Jan Markel's radio shows had a guest speaker who talked about a list to ask a church what they teach. Wish I'd wrote down how to get a copy. Sure would save a ton of time, effort (and dissapointment) in the search for a church. Like: "Fill out thIs application form" Sadly, "we follow Bible teachings" Aint nessarily so

Laura Wyant - Hi my friend! 👋🏽

Allen Rich Theaters, stores, and games don’t have a First Amendment Right and are of the world, not of God.

If churches will wait to that moment, it will be too late!

Allen Rich We must stand up NOW.

Allen Rich I agree with you.

Allen Rich I agree , I’m afraid Trump will take the heat and could loose the election!
