00:00 God's truth is enduringly true throughout all the generations.
00:06 It transcends culture.
00:08 The church is always going to be an embattled people.
00:13 If it's swimming with the tide, it's not being the church of Jesus Christ.
00:18 Look to the past, learn from the past, because the whole world lies in the power of the evil
00:24 one.
00:25 China has more than 200 confirmed cases of coronavirus, it's called.
00:29 The entire state of California ordered to stay at home, that's 41.
00:32 California has some of the strictest policies, leveled against churches.
00:35 Gavin Newsom's executive order threatens jail time and a $1,000 a day fine.
00:40 Government stopping people from going to church, Dr. Fauci.
00:43 When I went into the White House, when I sat in on the task force meetings, was a shocking
00:48 level of gross incompetence.
00:51 Mortality rate from the virus was 0.2%, you know, 99.8% survival, rather than the 3 or
00:57 4% mortality that the people were saying at the time.
00:59 The culture and the understanding of the people of Grace Church has always been, not only
01:03 do you obey government, but you honor government.
01:07 Thousands of people in the streets, but you can't have church?
01:11 The hypocrisy of letting people riot, it helped us all understand one thing, this is not what
01:16 they say it is.
01:17 By meeting, we're testifying the government has no jurisdiction here.
01:21 I was arrested and driven to a maximum security prison.
01:27 The government has obviously turned up the heat on churches.

01:47 of the word of God.

01:54 We were going to be sued.
01:56 They wanted Grace Church shut down.
01:59 We wanted to go on the offensive and attack the health order as unconstitutional.
02:05 This wasn't about health and safety, this was all about control and opposition to religious
02:11 freedom.
02:12 As the government gets more corrupt and more corrupt, snitches get rewards.
02:18 Its totalitarian control has to increase.
02:21 You have to have a mask on.
02:23 And as they shut down any attacks against them, this is not about freedom or personal
02:29 choice.
02:30 The last thing standing is going to be the church.
