Hello, this is Will Hardy with ManTalk Radio.

We are all about breaking down the walls of race and denomination. Your chosen Truth Network Podcast is starting in just a few minutes. Enjoy it, share it, but most of all thank you for listening to the Truth Podcast Network.

This is the Truth Network. Welcome to If Not For God, stories of hopelessness that turn to hope. Here is your host, Mike Zwick. If Not For God with Mike Zwick.

Man, I have one of my favorite guests that we've ever had on. This guy is on fire for Jesus Christ. Most of you guys first heard about him probably last summer, summer of 2020, when he started having these prophetic dreams. And I think maybe some people said well things didn't happen exactly as they thought they were going to happen on November 3rd or 5th or 10th or whatever.

And I think maybe some people started to write them off. But what I'm looking at now is I'm going back and looking at these dreams from Pastor Dana Coverstone. And I'm saying man he is more and more right. And I start looking at some of these old dreams and I'm saying my gosh this dream about persecution, it is right on the money. And there were some other ones as well and it's just amazing how God can speak to people through prophetic means, whether it's dreams or visions or whatever it is. And I know Pastor Dana Coverstone has had many many of them but today starting out we're actually going to be looking at Romans chapter 1 and we're looking in verse 16 and we're going to go all the way to the end. It's the just live by faith. Here it is, Romans 1 16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes for the Jew first and also for the Greek for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith as it is written the just shall live by faith for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth and unrighteousness because what may be known of God is manifest in them for God has shown it to them for since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse because although they knew God they did not glorify him as God nor were thankful but because but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened professing to be wise they became fools and they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness and the lusts of their hearts to dishonor their bodies among themselves who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshipped and served the create the creature rather than the creator who is blessed forever amen for this reason God gave them up to vile passions for even their women exchange the natural use of what for what is against nature likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust for one another men with men committing what is shameful and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge America 2021 God gave them over to a debased mind to do those things which are not fitting being filled with all unrighteousness sexual immorality wickedness covetousness maliciousness full of envy murder strife deceit evil-mindedness they are whisperers backbiters haters of God violent proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedient to parents undiscerning untrustworthy unloving unforgiving unmerciful who knowing the righteous judgment of God that those who practice such things are deserving of death not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them and Pastor Dana I think you're actually talking about Romans 1 right now this weekend is that right yes I'm actually I was going to preach through not the entire book I'm just preaching through Romans 1 been doing that for about three weeks now I got three more weeks on it I'm actually covering verses 18 through 25 this coming Sunday so Romans is very very dear to me although if you think about it look at Romans chapter 2 verse 1 because there really is the whole emphasis of Romans or chapter 2 verse 1 it's the whole emphasis of Romans 1 it says therefore you are without excuse every man of you who passed with judgment so basically Paul is letting letting mankind know you're all responsible for what you know and especially in the verses 24 on basically Paul is appealing to the universal the universal natural law that God put into the creation itself not the cultural it has nothing to do with the cultural laws he says look uh there's three key things also in Romans 1 verse 24 26 and 28 the term is this it says God gave them over God gave them over God gave them over God used or Paul uses that phrase three times God gave them over it's almost like when you when you just you know you kind of wash your hands and say okay go ahead and keep sleeping and miss your job and get fired go ahead and keep doing going down that path you're going to end up in prison and in this sense he is saying keep living the kind of life you're living and hell will be the consequence so Paul pulls no punches with with this passage and you had mentioned the dream about the wolves and the things there yes I really believe I really believe that we are seeing right now not just the start but the prep system of that of that that dream and you know on the first dream that I had a lot of people were oh this never happened that ever happened so I'll say the key was the fist punch and you think about look at how much has changed in America since the election of November 3rd 2020 think about what's changed as far as the administration think about the rule in the last two weeks we went from will not mandate this to should be mandated right and now you've got CNN reporting on the correspondence on there talking about how hey if you don't have a certain mandate you should not be allowed to go to the grocery store this and that Forbes magazine had an article just yesterday about a surcharge on people who do not have the the vaccination yet being charged 25 to 50 bucks a month basically coming out of their pay because they're being punished for not having you know not taking the mandate where did we ever think we would see that in this country I posted on my Facebook page yesterday you know you just want to say who do these people think they are and yet that that that is ripped off of my lips a whole lot lately and what Paul was and what Paul was describing that world that says hey we don't care who you are or what you're doing this is what you're going to do that's the mandate that's the things that we're seeing out there and I was going to share one other thing from uh from the book of Jeremiah chapter 2 and verse 47 because it applies to this you know we live now in a cultural society where people are not even aware of who or what they are I just saw where one school board came out with a transgender rights act for their students in chapter 2 verse 27 of Jeremiah it says through Satan's tree you are my father and to a stone you give me birth so they have turned their back to me and not their faith I got a good friend named Tom Bryant from Bible college we were talking yesterday and he had some notes from a from Dr. Terry Bleak one of my professors at assembly college and Terry Bleak had done some real research into this verse and basically he said this when it says two states for the tree you are my father that's the female word and to a stone you gave me birth that's the male word in other words these people were so committed to their delusions they didn't even know who or what they were and there's ever been a time in American history where men don't know their men and women don't know their women there was somebody I saw a news article where somebody wants to identify as a pizza where in the world does this come from you know so and basically also the wrath of God is revealed you know from heaven this comes from the throne this is not angels pouring bowls or blowing prophets in tribulation this is the wrath of God being unleashed from the throne because God has to judge the sinful things and you know talk about professionally wise they became fools they exchanged they basically said we're going to make that in our image we want to and that's what that's what that's why abortion happens because we decided that you know that life that life is not as important but our our will is our decisions are so we are living in romance one right now I hope I believe a lot of people in the church are seeing that way from them to it but uh we live in a culture that's confused doesn't know who or what it is man this world needs Jesus more than more than ever this world does need Jesus matter of fact you know and and it's one thing you know in in I think it's uh revelation 3 15 through 16 he says I know your works that you're neither hot nor cold he said I would rather you be one or the other but because you are lukewarm I will spew thee out of thy mouth another word or another another uh translation says I will vomit you out of my mouth let me give you a story that this is actually happening in the church uh published in march of uh march of 2021 gay drag queen becomes ministry candidate at the heart of the united methodist church split the united methodist church in america is in the middle of splitting up over lgbtq issues the progressive part of the united methodist church will keep that name the conservatives will be called the global methodist church though the split has not yet happened at the heart of the split is a 23 year old openly gay drag queen who who recently was certified as a candidate for ministry by a church district committee my very mission as a drag queen he says and really as a minister is to help bridge the huge gap that is between queerness and spirituality said bloomington normal resident isaac simmons simmons said his drag queen name is penny cost you get it penny cost now i i'm not a pastor uh but we we're in the presence of greatness right now we have stew epperson the owner of the truth network um i don't know if maybe you guys do you have you ever heard of something called the blasphemy of the holy spirit i i don't know yeah a little bit a little bit this is the word yeah this is a big deal blasphemy of any kind and this is a culture in a in a world and by the way this isn't new you know paul said in second timothy 3 in the last days perilous times will come men will be lovers of their own selves and on and on and on and the sexual deviancy which was going on in ancient rome which was going on in corinth and ephesus and all these towns and so we're seeing that here the the most dangerous and the most absolute dubious part of all that is when the church comes into that when the church when when my dear friend who's pastoring in a denomination that just ordained their first transgender pastor and we were having coffee and another christian brother walks up and and i said that to him i said yeah i'm having coffee with this dear pastor his denomination just did this and the guy's like hey you guys enjoy that and took off the other way he's like yeah i don't want to get embroiled that conversation but you have that kind of going on let me tell you something bottom line that's not a church a church that does not recognize man and woman a church that does not recognize gender a church that does not recognize that what the bible calls sin is sin is not a church yes it's a club it's a bunch of fun folks having fun get together they can look real nice and dress up like you do for the prom it's a problem it's a connection it's networking it is not a church a church is uh is big c it is where the word of god is absolutely authoritative it stands it is it is the foundation the bedrock jesus christ is lord he is god the son he's the son of god the trinity the fan the fundamental bedrock truths axioms of the bible marriage the the truth of eternity that there is a real eternal heaven there is a real eternal hell a lake of fire that there is one way to god there is one way of salvation it is by faith it is by grace it is not by baptism you are baptized to demonstrate publicly that you have been saved water does not save you you are only washed in the blood of jesus yes so these are clear things but when the lines are blurred when the lines are blurred on all of that well we kind of you know we're kind of like you guys well we're just you know we got a little we're the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints you know isn't it interesting how subtle that is right my sister sent me an amazing video of an amazing choir i'm watching wait wait a second this is lds you won't find one cross in any of their temples you won't find one cross in any of their stakes you can go to salt lake city you won't find one cross you'll find satanic masonic symbols all over encrusted and embedded in the temple and in on in that whole area on the temple mount in salt lake city but you won't find one cross upon which my savior died the preaching of the cross is foolishness paul said i'll boast and nothing else than the cross of christ so fundamentally do i love my mormon friends absolutely i want to see them go to the cross i want to see that whole denomination turn to turn to jesus just google the bible and the book of mormon and watch the video google joseph smith and the bible just google that and you'll see the all the the the archaeology that proves that the bible stands it is the true book so you have all this these these subtle things but they're so nice of course they're so now you know it's it's wonderful to be nice and christians by the way you should be nice quit being angry i had a guy get up in wednesday in the word yesterday and he just went off on the vaccine and about how we got to take our stand and i said time out buddy i'm glad about your passion but if your if your message about anti-vax or your message about you don't like this or that or masking if it doesn't go toward leading people to jesus then you're just wasting oxygen you're just another angry person pontificating and championing your whatever your viewpoint is politically we need to bring people to jesus i'll put a mask on to lead my neighbor to christ who is a big time pro maxer i'm not gonna that person is made in the image of god so let's not let's stop attacking people's dignity you know what i want to lead transgender folks to jesus that's right quit attacking their dignity you know quit saying well homosexuality ah but then we got all this rampant adultery which by the way i heard a great pastor share this earlier this week he said look one of the problems in the church today is we have this rampant adultery people hooking up and you know getting divorced and you know marriage is like this almost like a big dating game all this premarital sex all these kids going on trips together cohabitating which is adultery which is a violation which is sin we have that so rampant that the homosexual community comes up is like well why are they you know blistering us right you know we're you know you know and we so what we've done is we've put these levels of sin and god hates sin god hates divorce and it's all kinds of sin right so there's all this duplicity within the church so fundamentally i've thrown out a lot of generalities but it comes down to what you quoted there in revelation we've got to go back to our first love yeah and i'm telling you if i'm loving jesus with all my heart i'm gonna look at you different no matter what your struggle is because guess what i'm gonna find out that i'm as messed up as you are no matter how much i hammer on you okay yeah and then i'm gonna love i'm gonna start loving you and loving you into christ and i'm going to start go i'm go to your church quit complaining about your church friend go to your church go disciple someone in your church there's someone standing in that lobby looking awkward because they're the they're the uncle of a of a kid that's being dedicated that day and they're just standing there no one's talking to him go talk to that man how are you sir how's your walk with christ hey how can i pray for you that's a real that's a super innocuous non-threatening thing there how can i pray for you and engage someone in christ yeah and build friendships that are pointing people to jesus i love what jd greer said every christian is either a every human being is either a mission field or a missionary and we start playing the middle ground we we start saying that the christian life is that we're tourists on a cruise ship as opposed to you know we're pilgrims we're aliens on a battleship trying to take back the enemy's territory and it happens through those relationships it just happens with engaging your kid let's put our phones down a second over supper let's just talk how can i love on you how can i pray for you and just listen and that happens at church that happens in the home and that happens when i am intentionally reaching out on mission to bring people closer to jesus and man i get excited when i come across a saint who's a lot closer to jesus than i that guy in that lobby who happens to be a retired pastor who i think man i'm going to reach this guy and maybe lead him to christ or disciple him i find out that this guy's been to seminary and he's been walking with christ for 20 years longer than me guess what i'm going to do sir will you disciple me hallelujah yeah you know see this isn't a spitting match you know like oh well this he's who's discipling who get that language out let's just go and if as soon as i find out you're more mature in the lord than i am i am going to listen and learn and hallelujah that god brought a paul into my life yes you're brand new in the faith you just came out of the the maternity ward and you're you know you're growing in jesus brand new baby in christ maybe i could be a little bit of a paul to you yes and you could be a timothy but everyone has to have a paul in their life to be discipling you a timothy in your life for you to be discipling and a barnabas is going to come alongside and you encourage you just do that and watch the church of the living god start to really grow that's a salute that's a practical solution that if you don't have those three people in your life right now you are part of the problem we can talk about all the church's compromise well i am part of the problem if i'm not mobilizing actively in people's life infiltrating the gospel in their life that that is a great point and one of the things that dana you and i were talking about a little bit this morning was that yes there are a lot of problems that are going on in the church there are a lot of problems that are going on in america but you said i think you said something about how sometimes maybe the persecution or the problems dana could actually spark a revival is that right absolutely you look at the book of acts when the church was was the church was scattered because paul a tarsus went on a affair you know arresting christ and steven has just been killed and but it says the church was scattered and the gospel went everywhere and i believe that one of the reasons that we're going to see miracles and healings is in the midst of persecution because the church one of the other things i appreciate what the brother was saying one of the things that's missing in this church right now is balance i mean balance theologically balance spiritually we have got to be realizing that yeah persecution is coming judgment's coming hard times are coming we have to keep our faith rooted ground in christ and when the persecution comes either i believe we're about to see you know okay in the last week i've talked over 200 people who have been told they're gonna lose their jobs they don't see the mandate they don't care what the employer said so here at the end of this month i'm calling for prayer time at my church we're gonna lay hands with people we'll be praying for people literally who are looking at losing their jobs in four or five days that's the first time we have at the church in other words they're gonna have to stand on their faith and okay god we're gonna have to trust you so we talked about the assistant romans the righteous live by faith yes but we're about to really find out what that means how that works because people are gonna are gonna be pushed to a place okay god i gotta trust you for my provision i gotta trust you for food on the table i gotta trust you for insurance i gotta trust you to take care of my health i guess you know and i literally i play with 200 people 200 people to call the church i call my cell phone emails and said this is what's going on and so i believe though that that becomes an incredible opportunity for the church to say you know what i'm going to see god move i mean you know and typically a lot of times before the battle happens we don't say oh yeah you know we have this excitement we're going to win but when you're in the battle and the swords are going and there's blood everywhere and you're and you're tired and you're weary um that's when you realize that you know the lord the lord becomes your strength and your power he becomes your buffer and your shield there's a reason that paul told us to put the armor on because every day we deal with warfare every day we deal with emotional issues every day we get the enemy lying into our ears about what we can do what we can't do and so we're in a place where in the church we've got to know who practice what he wants to do in our lives who we are in relationship to him and then the grip on the sword is strong the grip on the shield the faith is strong and that we march in the battle unafraid and uh i believe the persecution is going to bring great opportunities for us to shine for the lord and make a difference now there's also a lot of folks in the church that jesus talked about how you know there'll be mother against daughter and son against father and all those and you know you look at what the even the mandates are doing in family uh i i know people personally been told you know don't come to thanksgiving because you haven't got something so even within the context of the church we're seeing division and god always uses those things to strengthen to secure to establish and to bring to bring balance and hope and faith to people and we're about to learn how to really live by faith and i think it's a good thing for the church in all reality i i do too and and i know some people say well i don't want to talk about the vaccine or i don't want to talk about you know certain issues that are controversial whether it's lgbt or whatever it is and and i agree with what stew was saying before where that's not all we need to talk about there are definitely other things to talk about but i will also say this i had a dream my dad took the vaccine and after he took the vaccine he had uh he passed away of covid after he had the vaccine so he came to me in a dream a little while after and he said something i realized it was him and then a few months later he came to me in a dream and he was trying to tell me something and he kept trying to tell me but it was like covered up his mouth was covered up and i pressed in and i said dad what are you trying to tell me and he said don't take the vaccine don't take the vaccine yeah so um it's uh and we got about three minutes left but uh sharon we got our friend sharon here did you have a question for dana maybe about spiritual warfare yes uh in your time that you that you these messages and all that the lord's given you you see this as for the church right absolutely absolutely i mean persecution maybe the church needs to see persecution as tests and trials and refinement would you agree with that i do and you know the only way faith has to be tested and it's like any any student you you study the subject you take the test to see to show you that you have have learned the subject matter you've applied it right and uh our faith will be tested we know that jesus says in many trials and tribulations you will enter the kingdom of heaven and those trials and tribulations for tests and difficulties and frustrations and difficult times that come out of nowhere as a pastor for 30 years i've had people come to office and say you won't believe what just happened this or that or a diagnosis from the doctor just lost my job when my wife wants to leave me and i've seen people who have to under who who find that their faith is tested in ways that it's never been tested before but on the other side they always come out stronger and better if they say okay well i'm going to trust you through this so understand it doesn't make sense but those tests and those trials are necessary for us to grow none of us would ever be the christians we are today without the difficulties and the things that drove us to our knees or ask others to pray for us or just you know drove us to the word so i'm thankful for the i'm thankful for the test that god allows because they make us better fishermen amen it's the bride becoming ready right yes absolutely absolutely so um and we i guess we have about a minute left i was going to ask um uh dana what if if people wanted to find out more about what you're doing do you do you've been doing shows with a lady named shari goth is that right or do i have the name wrong yeah shari goth is an assembly guide minister uh she's a passionate wife in arkansas she does she's written a book and works in agreements with patient uh works in the office as a prophet uh and i've come over as just a fifth friend i just invited she helps me with
