This is a calling for the body of Christ, every single one of you, who listen who believe in the power of God, we ask for a uniting right now and prayer wherever you are, whether it's the middle of the night, the morning, no matter what day you listen to this message, we need to unite in prayer in the spirit and one mind. And in Truth of the gospel and we went to lift up this pastor Nick, let everybody know what's going on. Yeah, so there's a pastor, his
name is, torben sondergaard. He's from Denmark, he had to flee his country because of persecution. So he came to the United States, 2019, I believe. And has been here for a few years. While just recently, he has been detained in Florida. De and they had claimed that he was trying to smuggle weapons from Mexico into the United States. He couldn't even tell you. The slightest thing about weapons is what he's claiming. And he's been serving God.
For 20 some years, he used the telephone to basically share what has happened. They're not giving him any answers. They're not letting him out on bail. So there's a lot of question marks. Here and not a whole lot of answers. I've followed him for the past. I would say, four or five years have tested his work and and the man seems pretty legit. He's crying out because he's now been in prison for over three months.
I think it's going on 100 days has not seen his family has not, I don't know if he's spoken to them. I have no idea. He has a wife, three kids, three grandkids people that rely on him every day. He's doing The best he can using it as an opportunity to preach the gospel to the inmates. I've heard that testimony, but he deeply misses his family, and this is a sign that persecution is here at our doorsteps in America, it's happening right
now. It's something we've talked about over the years as something that was on the horizon, it's here, right now, right before eyes, and it's just the beginning stages of it. If it's going to get worse and we need to pray and we need to lock arms and really trust that God is going to use it. And he's going to use it in a mighty way because we're persecution can come the furtherance of the Gospel can be even greater.
So that's really what I'm hoping and praying with this situation and this man and what has happened to him. Which you know, the Bible says, blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, he's doing the right thing. He serving God, he's preaching. The gospel and we just we just want to see him free see the the justice of come through. So this is a call a wake up, call a wake up, shout to the body of Christ. Everybody who listens you guys need to be in prayer.
Wake up, your brothers and sisters wherever you are. If you're surrounded by other believers, go grab them by the hand. Look them in the eyes and said, we are going to agree together in this Spirit of the Living God. And the days that we live in that we would see And that our hope is so great, because the darkness is so dark. We live in a day and age where they call, what is wrong, right? And they say, what is right?
They call it wrong and persecution is on the horizon, but something greater than persecution is on the horizon. It you're a witness to this. We've been saying for years as many other brothers and sisters that are in the truth of who God
is, have been saying for years. The denominational walls come down the dysfunction and disc order the church to be broken down and for there to be a connection in the spirit of the Living God that we would have one mind and one likeness that we would represent life and life more abundantly for that is what God brings to those who believe This is the calling. The body of Christ to start to move to start the wake up. Just like you can look out if you're in the northeast or up
north at all. And you can see the leaves start to change colors on the trees. I left work the other day and seen one tree. It was about 1/3 of the way to changing his colors. So is the reminder that was given to me that the body of Christ is waking up. Not all of us yet, but we're close. Be a part of that movement, you're a part of this story, whether you want to be or not now's the day, Nick, thank you. I did not know about this pastor until last night, when you sent
me this information. I looked into it. I prayed about it. I felt the calling to speak up and use whatever I have in order to represent. What is right is, right? According to the word of God. That's right. Yeah, and I just want to thank you Rodney because like I said, in my video, I put out on Instagram, you know, I only have 100 some flowers, which is very, very minimal. So, I don't have a huge platform. I don't have a large audience, I don't, I don't have that kind of reach.
I'm just hoping that one of the people that see my video, or if I passed along, someone else can pass it along, and maybe they'll reach a thousand or a million, and we can really spread this word of. Hey, listen, this It's going on inside our country, it's no longer a story of like, well, it's happening over in Iraq and the Middle East and China, where it's not as expected here in America, where it's been built on judeo Christian values as a country.
But yet now we're seeing, you know, Christians especially being persecuted for not doing anything wrong. And this is exactly Bible prophecy playing out before our eyes is, what Jesus said was going to happen. In the last days, they're going to hate you because they hated me, they're going to throw you in prison. Don't worry about what you need to say.
I'm going to give you the words to say at the very moment and to not lose heart and I think of all the moments of the early Apostles in the book of Acts and the moments, they got thrown in prison and the angel of the Lord came and all of a sudden their shackles were released and it's like almost like I'm praying for those type of miracles to happen like just how it was. Chuckles accept that all of a sudden. This man is just like some Angel. Just opens the gates or something happens.
Supernaturally, that is just astounding to everybody who's there and can be a testimony to so many more of, you know, what this was wrong but God is greater. We want to see faith in action. Just like God says it should look like. We don't want to start a fundraiser and get money to to try to get a better look. Lawyer. We are looking for the hand of God to move in the days. We live in that no man or no company or no organization could stand up and take credit.
But we want the glory to go to God and God Alone, what the prayer of one righteous man. Availeth much got set aside what the disagreements are. Unless glorify God, use your warship as a weapon to tear down. How many of you have been feeling tired and depressed and under attack this month because the satanic me. The show marches in a deeper number than I believe, ever before my lifetime. But now The light shines in the darkness and the Darkness. Comprehended it not.
A great light is those of us who have the truth of Christ. Don't hide that light under the table, put it up on top of the hill. Send out those prayers. Let's agree. That's be humble and less encourage each other. I've been praying for the gift of encouragement. He stirred up in the body because God told me we were going to need it for the days ahead. That's everything I got to say.
