Paul's small church stayed open during COVID lockdowns and tripled in size, which he sees as evidence of a religious revival. He believes the prophet Amos foretold this divine outpouring happening now across America and the world.
Hollywood, California. Paul, hello.
Dennis, so good to talk to you, sir.
Thank you.
I have a similar perspective to yours, but I believe that, um, the changes that I've seen in life are directly what God is doing, not just in my life but across America and around the world. You know, you know the Torah well, so you know, I believe it's the prophet Amos said in the last days I will pour my spirit out on all mankind. Right. And he talks about, uh, young women, uh, dreaming dreams and, and prophecies from young folks and old men dreaming dreams. And, and there's only two things that can happen when God pours his spirit out on man. Either you are drawn to him and move away from what you were doing before, or you rebel and fight against it. And I think that's what we're seeing now. And that your last caller and many others, I think, are evidence of what God is doing in lives of people that weren't, quote unquote, religious before. My church is small and was nearly dead before the pandemic, but we resisted and rebelled against the lockdowns. We never closed our doors. We social distanced. We had people wear the masks if they, if they were folks that were at risk, but we continued to have church. And our church has tripled in size from people coming because we went online and did the Facebook Live services.
And then, well, I wonder if there is a religious revival. It's an interesting point that I'm hearing from you folks.
