The preachers evidently were afraid to preach from the Book of Revelation, and they never did. One of the first things I did after God called me to preach was to preach from the Book of Revelation. I was quite ignorant at the time as a preacher. I had no training, no concept of expository preaching and sticking with the Word.
Praise the Lord. Sister Bliss is saying good morning to the pastor—yours truly—and to everyone. I like that real good. That’s how we do as Christians. We ain’t mad at nobody. We love everybody because we can’t help it because of God’s love shed abroad in our hearts. And so, allow me to share a little something here.
Sister Bliss, we have a demon—or two demons, actually—who came into the church this morning. They actually named themselves demons. And so, I always believe, as I told Mrs. Whyte almost 39 years ago, I believe in doing what Jesus did. I believe in casting out demons. We just don’t have any room for demons.
But I noticed that these people—some of them are members of Marika Whyte’s family—are my enemies. They like to go into the new visitors room, Sister Bliss. And when I click on it, I guess Big O, they don’t allow you to click off new visitors. If you know of a way to do that, please let me know.
Be that as it may, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that You will cast the devil and the demons of hell—the satanic, demonic spirit of Judas, Jezebel, Sanballat, and Tobias—out of my wife, Mrs. Marika Whyte. I pray for her true, blue salvation—born again, saved, salvation with You, Lord Jesus Christ, living on the inside. You make all the difference. Lord, open her blinded eyes and stop her deaf ears. And Lord, show her the light, even today. And I know that she will be a different creature, a different person, a new person. For You make all things new.
And Holy Father God, I do pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that You will also cast the devil and the demons of hell and the satanic, demonic spirit of Judas, Jezebel, Sanballat, and Tobias out of Marika Whyte’s life and out of her mother, her aunts, her siblings, and all of her family; out of my own mother and siblings; family members, people very religious but very lost, as I was.
And Holy Father God, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I cannot express to You, Lord, how glad I am that I was able to make it here this morning. And I give You the glory, the praise, and the honor. And so, Lord, cast out all people who have named themselves demons as well. And Lord, if there’s a way for me to cast them out myself, Lord, please show me. But they have found a little loophole to get in here, and they hide behind the newcomers badge. And evidently, Big O has set things where you can’t cast out a newcomer. And that’s alright.
So Holy Father God, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallowed be Your name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. And Holy Father God, for Jesus Christ’s sake, have mercy and grace upon each and every one of us where we have committed the motions of sins, or rather we have the motions of sins in our hearts, our minds, our souls, and our spirits.
And Lord, I do pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for all of us who are born again saved. Lord, where we have had evil thoughts and said evil words and all unrighteousness and all ungodliness of thought, word, and deed, for Jesus Christ’s sake, please forgive us. Lord of our sins, our faults, and our failures, wash and cleanse our souls and our hearts and minds and consciences in the holy and precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. And make us, Lord, to be whiter than snow on the inside. Create within all of us who are born again and saved, a pure heart and a right spirit. Help us to all start this day right. And thank You, Lord, for a tremendous week with some change-ups. Deliver each and every one of us, Lord, from temptation, evil, and sin throughout this morning, this afternoon, and evening, for sin is the big problem.
Grant us Your grace and the power of Your Holy Spirit to love right, to live right, to think right, to do right, and to act right, and to do that which is pleasing in Your sight. And Holy Father God, we thank You for somebody who is sharing this life. I saw them, but so many other people have come in. Lord, You know who they are. Hippie, God bless you, Hippie, for being with us today. And Lord, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that You would bless them for evangelizing the world.
Deliver all of us, Lord, this morning and throughout this day from temptation, evil, and sin. No matter how strong the temptation is, Your mercies, Lord, Your grace, Your strength, and the power of Your Holy Spirit to love right, to live right, to think right, to do right, to act right, and to do that which is pleasing in Your sight. For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory.
And Holy Father God, for those of us who are born again and saved but have gotten away from You, Lord, revive us again, restore us again, renew us again. And Lord, grant us Your grace and the power of Your Holy Spirit indeed to love right, live right, do right, and act right, and do that which is pleasing in Your sight. And help us all to humble ourselves to pray, to seek Your face, and to turn from our wicked ways and to repent of our wicked sins and get back to You, our first love.
And Holy Father God, I do pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the peace of Jerusalem. I pray, Lord, for the salvation and the protection of the Israelites. Gaza is back in the news. Palestinians are back in the news. They’re having a big meeting about that today, and a whole lot of chaos is going on in the world. And we praise You, Lord, and thank You for what Deacon Rome has sent to You, God, and Jesus Christ was all about You.
And Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray, Lord, for the salvation and the protection of the Israelites, the Palestinians, all Gentile nations, and all Christians who are under persecution. And we praise You, Lord, and thank You for Sonia giving gifts to You as well. And we thank You, Lord, for Sonia Mills showing up as she often times does and is giving gifts to You, God, and Jesus Christ. Lord, I pray Your blessings upon her life. We have not formally met yet. I pray that one day she will let me know what led her to come to the Gospel Lighthouse for prayer and introduce herself. And we thank You for the money that she gives to You and Your kingdom, but we thank You more for her showing up and being here.
So Holy Father God, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the Christians who are being persecuted—myself, my children. Lord, protect us all from the messengers of Satan. Protect us all from the thorns in the flesh—people who are constantly trying to stop us from serving You, trying to hinder the gospel from going out. And Lord, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, but not only us—people who are in a worse situation in Nigeria and in the Sudan. And so, Holy Father God, give all of us this morning and throughout this day sweet victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil and the demons of hell. And I plead the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And Holy Father God, I do praise You and thank You for holy matrimony, even in a so-called bad marriage. And I praise You and I thank You for all of the benefits of holy matrimony to our lives in this world. And I pray that if it’s Your will for other people here who are single to get married, that they will go ahead and follow Mr. Kelsey and just go ahead and let it be known and stop playing games and go head on and do what needs to be done so that they can reap the benefits of holy matrimony. Particularly if they desire sex, and if they are involved with having sex of any kind, Lord, help them to do it the right way.
And this is coming from somebody, Lord, who never wanted to do it the right way, never wanted to get married. But You made it very clear to me that that is not going to work. I am amazed, Lord, at how much ignorance I came out of. I give You the glory, praise, and honor, Lord, for giving people knowledge, chastising people, rebuking people, teaching people, because most of us have never been taught by our own parents. And if You didn’t take us up, Lord have mercy, our lives would be a mess today, if not non-existent.
So I give You the glory, praise, and honor for always being the great, great Father. I never learned these things from my parents. They never even understood the importance of teaching me these things. The only thing my mother told me was, “Make sure you protect yourself and wear condoms.” And to tell a teenage boy something like that from your mother’s standpoint is like saying “sic ‘em” to a dog. My mother really didn’t have a problem with her children, evidently, committing fornication. And I committed a whole lot of it. And she put my girlfriend’s pictures on the wall, on the piano, in the house. So, Lord, I came out of a whole lot of ignorance and evil and foolishness. And for me to even be married for 39 years is a miracle of Yours.
And so I pray that others would take the leap instead of staying out there in the woods of fornication and pornography and adultery and all of that evil foolishness, because that’s not going to work, and they’re going to end up losers in the end as I would have, because I was hell-bent and determined to go that route.
So Holy Father God, thank You for leading me the other way. And even though Mrs. Marika Whyte is demon-possessed with pride—Jamaican pride and Pharaoh-style pride—and comes from a family where everybody has gotten divorces and is now living in sin, it’s a miracle that she’s still married as well. And I give You the glory, praise, and honor for that. And I pray marriage upon everybody here who is interested in having sex. And Lord, I pray—I know they don’t understand it because I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know why God was so insistent about this. But now I know it is one of the greatest blessings. Lord, You made me do it because it is one of the greatest blessings outside of salvation. Outside of being saved and knowing You, marriage and family has been my greatest blessing.
Even though Mrs. Whyte has never been a good wife, mother, or woman—she has apologized for that, and that’s good; however, she has never repented—in spite of that, and this is shocking to most people, my side of the marriage has been absolutely wonderful. Reminded her of that yesterday. I’ve enjoyed marriage to the nth degree because I’ve never hearkened to her voice. I’ve never allowed her to have her way or to argue with me about anything. And I have gotten everything I’ve ever wanted out of the marriage. And the main thing was sex, sex, and sex.
And then on top of that, You blessed me, Lord, with the greatest children, I believe, in the history of the church. They probably don’t even realize it. And that’s how You oftentimes do it. We need to always wait for other people to praise us and not praise ourselves. And our children have never praised themselves—how good and wonderful they were. They just were good and wonderful in helping me in the ministry. And they have set me up to do ministry now that they’re living their lives the way they want to live their lives. So I give You the glory, praise, and honor.
And again, Lord, I ask that everybody who wants to get married, Lord, lead them to the right person. That person will not be perfect, and there will be things they will not know about them. So help them to step out by faith and go ahead and get married and enjoy the blessings of marriage and family and have some children, which will be, Lord have mercy, one of the greatest gifts that they will ever have in life is to have a child. What a blessing! And help them realize they only have a short time with that child, and then You will take them up.
I give You the glory, praise, and honor for all of the blessings You’ve bestowed upon us. Lord, help people not to be scared anymore. I help people to stop playing games and let young ladies tell men, “Now listen, I’m not having sex with you. I’m interested in you, but there’s no sex going on here until you put a ring on it.” And then just be up front. And then if they’re not talking right, then say bye-bye. And have men to stop playing games, being timid and scared of the woman, and let her know like Kelsey did: “I want you. I want you.” So I’m not going to wait on a phone call. I’m not going to play games. I’m going to practice patience as Kelsey has taught us.
So Holy Father God, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You for food to eat, a place to stay, and money under the car seat. And Lord, thank You for clothes as well. And Holy Father God, I thank You for holy poverty. That’s been a part of my life. You never wanted me to be rich, and You wanted me to stay focused on You. I didn’t understand it while I saw other preachers get rich when I was a young preacher, but You never let me do it. And I thank You for not letting me do it. Thank You that we’re not here about money. We’re here about glorifying Your name and lifting up Your Holy Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Save that soul that’s near as hell. Reclaim the backslidden. Revive the saved.
And Lord, deliver us all. Deliver Deacon Rome and his brother, Sister Bliss and her family, Brother Mark and his family, my children—pardon me, Daniella, Danny, Daniel, Anita, Danae, Daniqua, Daniel, Ezekiel, and Daniel, Duran, Daniel, and Kwasia. And Lord, protect us all from ourselves, our flesh, and the evil devil and the demons of hell. Give all of us sweet victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil.
And Lord, I pray for everybody else here. I pray, Lord, for salvation and spiritual, mental, and physical protection and provision, and mental and physical blessings upon each and every one of us. Prepare all of us, Lord, today for good days and our bad days. Prepare us, Lord, for celebrations and tribulations and tragedies. Prepare us, Lord, for weddings and funerals. Prepare us, Lord, for life and death.
And Lord, as I shared with my children and Sister Bliss and Deacon Mark and others the other day, they pray that prayer—the life prayer: “God, thank you for good days and bad days. God, thank you for celebrations and tribulations and tragedies. God, thank you for weddings and funerals. God, thank you for life and death. We thank you for it all because you’re in control.” This is, as the songwriter said, “This is my Father’s world.”
And so Holy Father God, have all that we do and say today in spite of the devil. In spite of devilish people such as Mrs. Marika Whyte, who is a Judas-Jezebel woman like her mother, aunts, siblings, and family members—they have a terrible spirit of the Judas spirit. I pray that You’ll protect my children from it and the Jezebel spirit, both very harmful spirits. The spirits and demonic spirits we have on my side of the family—fornication, whoremongering around, whoring around, bad attitudes, adultery—that runs deep in my family. And so all families have their gifts and have their sins. So we’re not picking on anybody; we’re just pointing it out as You have told me to share with the people. I’m not here to negotiate with you; I’m here to notify you of the evil that we all are doing and we’re all tempted with.
And so, Lord, have it all to be done for Your glory, praise, and honor, and the glory, praise, and honor of Jesus Christ. And Holy Father God, thank You for revealing to me the satanic plot that Marika Whyte and her family have against me. They know that she does not have what she needs to have for Social Security, and so they’re trying to set things up—set me up to steal my Social Security from me and to pass it on to her because she can’t get it because of her situation. And they’ve known this for many years. And so they’re trying to plot something to cause that to happen as a part of the general persecution that a person like myself—a prophet kind of person—has to face. Some in her family want to kill me. That’s one way. They do not realize certain people having restrictions put on them that they cannot come and visit, and because I know who they are. And the second plot is to try to get Mrs. Whyte, like Judas, to turn against me and lie on her husband and to have me jailed for no reason. But that’s the plot. That is the plan. They’re shocked that I’m bringing it out in the open as paperwork is being drawn up to restrict certain people from visiting us and especially me after finding out these things for some time.
And so I do pray that all of that would come to pass. I pray that Your blessing protect my children because these same devilish people who want to kill me, if they can’t get to me, they will kill my children. So Lord, this is a very serious matter. I commit it into Your hands that You would protect my children and me from these murderous Judas-Jezebel people. Drive the devil and the demons of hell out of their lives for Your glory, praise, and honor. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray for His sake. Amen.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, leads me to our message for this morning. By the grace of God, the devil is mad, Mrs. Whyte is mad, that I would tell the truth as to what is really going on. Oftentimes people die by not telling the truth because families and everybody want everybody to think, “I believe that everything is hunky-dory and perfect and wonderful in their marriage or in their family,” and that is not the case. I believe that family members and church members are involved in the death of my daughter Daniqua Grace. And so I want to preach in your hearing briefly this morning a part of the sermon titled “Heaven is the End of Sorrow for Martyr Charlie Kirk and Martyr Daniqua Grace Whyte, and the Rest of Us Who Truly Believe in Jesus Christ,” with yours truly today, Daniel Whyte III, here at Gospel Lighthouse of Prayer International.
And Sister Bliss, I know that I have to honor people who do wonderful things. Two Sundays in a row, Sister Bliss has given the offering that God has laid on her heart before the church even opened—in fact, an hour or two before the church even opened. Now, ladies and gentlemen, that is rare. It has nothing to do with me; that’s a God thing. And so I have to say—and I didn’t thank her for the gift until hours later because I didn’t see the gift. I don’t know if she did that this morning or not; I have not noticed anything or seen anything. But I’m thanking her now because the past two Sundays at this time, I should have thanked her. I should have noticed it those past two Sundays. And if she gave this morning, I should have noticed it already. But I’m oftentimes so busy getting ready to preach and doing other things and dealing with the devil in my wife, Marika Whyte, that I oftentimes don’t see when it comes in.
So Sister Bliss, whether you’ve given anything or not already this morning, I don’t want to be in the situation that I was in the past two Sundays, having money sitting in the offering plate that you gave before church and I didn’t thank you for it. So I thank you now. I have not seen anything, but I thank you now for giving as you’ve given by the grace of God. Deacon Rome, thank you for your gifts. Sonia—Sister Sonia, we need to meet officially. Isn’t it amazing that when you’re in the online church, people can come and give generously, but you don’t feel like you know them yet? There’s been no formal introduction, and that’s how I feel about Sister Sonia. Sister Sonia’s been coming for almost a year now, but she’s never said anything. She just comes and she just gives money. And we thank God for that, but we’re not all about the money at all. And so Sister Sonia, let’s try to communicate a little bit before you give anything else.
Revelation chapter 21, verse 4—those of you on TikTok who are just showing up, I’m preaching briefly and wrapping up an important point, and then I’ll be through. We’re preaching the sermon titled “Heaven is the End of Sorrow for My Daughter Daniqua Grace Whyte and Martyr Charlie Kirk, and the Rest of Us Who Truly Believe in Jesus Christ,” with Daniel Whyte III, yours truly, here at the Gospel Lighthouse of Prayer International. And the scripture that we are coming from today is Revelation 21:4: “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
And last Sunday we were dealing with big point number two: the death of death. And we didn’t finish it. “There shall be no more death,” Deacon Rome. “There shall be no more death,” Sister Bliss. And we all ought to rejoice in that. For death has tormented us all. Death is the tyrant that has reigned since the Garden of Eden. The moment Adam and Eve reached for that forbidden fruit and ate it, death entered the human story. And I want you to notice how serious God is about sin. I mean, just that one sin messed up Adam and Eve and the entire world for generations. God does not want any disobedience. God gives you and I tests to see whether or not we’re going to be obedient.
One of the reasons why you are not to run out of your marriage is because your greatest test in life will be marriage to another sinner. God has built in tests on what you’re going to do. Are you going to obey His Word? Right now, we’re running an article—probably after noontime, maybe sooner—regarding Emmitt Smith’s former wife. Many believe that Emmitt Smith is the greatest running back of all time, and he married Martin’s former wife. Her name is Pat, and she’s a very beautiful woman. But see, I told Emmitt Smith—I don’t know why I wanted to call that man Emmitt Till, but anyway—I told Emmitt Smith in writing, in an article before he married her, and I mean this, and I tell all men this: First of all, do not marry a divorced woman, period. See, people have to be told this because people have not been taught this by their pastors and churches. Do not marry—I tell young women, don’t marry a divorced man, period. What do you want with a divorced man? And what do you want, sir, with a divorced woman? That’s number one.
Then number two, I wrote in the article a long time ago now, if you’re going to marry a woman, please do not marry a big dog’s wife. Now, I’m not talking about sexual prowess; I’m talking about a big personality person like Martin—I forget his name; Martin, whatever—y’all remember the show Martin. It was a top-rated show because they did a good job with that show. Martin, you remember the song, and I forget his name, but he was married to her for a little while, and they had one child. Martin is—he was a small guy, but he was a big dog personality. You know, you don’t want to follow a Martin who can make anybody laugh, and you know he can make her laugh. And that’s what many women want in a man—to be able to make them laugh because oftentimes they get depressed, defeated, and disgusted. And Martin was all that. He’s a big dog. You don’t want to follow a big dog who’s famous and rich and just as famous and rich as you are. And I feel so sorry for men who want to follow after another big dog man, and he thinks that by doing so, he’s getting something good.
One of the reasons why—let me just be frank with you—one of the reasons why you don’t want to follow a big dog man is because it’s going to make you look like a small dog man in her eyes after a while when the heat is on in the marriage. And I hate to touch on this, but big dog men, they do everything that is possible with a woman that they can possibly do that way. She will be run through all the way through. I know some of y’all don’t like it, but that’s just the reality. And you don’t want a woman who’s been run through. See, a big dog man, being rich and being famous, he’s just going to feel like he can do everything he wants to do with her. And so that article will come out today. And you just don’t want it. And it’s going to be a problem in the second marriage because it’s going to constantly come up. Because basically, you people are living in adultery. And if you’ve got any kind of adultery going on in the marriage or in the past, it’s going to fester. It’s going to be a problem because God is going to make it a problem because God is not pleased with you getting another man’s wife who has a child with that woman. That’s hellacious. And all of this talk about, “Well, we have an amicable relationship, and I just go and spend time with her daddy sometimes, and alone, and we talk about our daughter together”—all this foolishness. That’s how people get killed. Okay?
Sin is bad. You all do know that Sinbad was named after his grandmother, who kept telling her, “Sin bad, sin is bad, sin is bad.” He said he heard it so much they gave him that name, Sinbad. God takes sin seriously; we don’t. That forbidden fruit, death entered the human story, and it has never loosened its grip. Every generation since has been born under its shadow and has marched willingly or not toward its door. Kings and peasants, the mighty and the meek—none has escaped. That bad boy, death. Rest assured, nobody has escaped death. And guess what? I know you think that you’re going to escape, but you’re not. None has escaped. Death is no respecter of persons. Even prophets have to die. Pastors have to die. People who have served the church all of their lives have to die. The Apostle Paul called death the last enemy. Death does not play. Death always wins. You can say like the senator said the night he died, “I can’t die now. I got to get some other things done.” Senator Lindsey Graham—that’s what he said the night he died. But see, death was all over him, and death said, “No, you got to go right now.” Y’all don’t hear me, okay? Death is a monster.
The Apostle Paul called death, Mrs. Whyte, the last enemy. You say, “Well, Preacher, I heard you call Mrs. Whyte’s name out. Aren’t you supposed to be mad at her because of her being demon-possessed and proud, stubborn, and rebellious?” I’ve never been mad at Mrs. Whyte because of the Christ in me. Plus, also, I’m not hearkening to her voice. I don’t listen to her satanic foolishness. And so therefore, it’s going to go my way up in my house anyway. I want her to do what I want her to do. We’ve never had an argument over nothing. I insist. You see, I’ve had people ask me, “Well, how did you do it, brother?” I insist—my mentality, my spirit, my attitude is, I insist. I know your place, and I know my place, and I know God’s place, and you can’t have your way here. And also, I fall back on the fact—I told her now, before we got married—we’re going to do it Ephesians chapter 5 way or no way. I have no need to be an angry man. Listen to me, I enjoy my marriage immensely. Even though she can transform herself into a Tasmanian devil behind the scenes and act like an angel in front of you, and I know that she’s a Judas Jezebel, and I’m going to deal with it from that standpoint—filled with hell and the devil.
My enemy is not Marika Whyte. My enemy is the devil. We don’t wrestle with flesh and blood. And I encourage you, if you got a demon in your household, you better deal with them the same way. You walk in your authority that God has given you, and you pray and ask God to cast that demon out, or pray like I pray: God, at least restrain the devil and constrain the devil and control the devil in that person, because you’re wrestling against the devil. And the devil is almost like death. The devil does not play. The devil plays for keeps. So if you’re not praying like you’re supposed to pray in that household and you let that devil loose up in there, the devil will kill you. Because the devil is the father of murder, and the devil is the father of lies. So it’s very dangerous to have a demon-possessed person up in your household.
You say, “Well, Preacher, why do you keep her there? Why do you let her stay?” I let her stay because God told me to let her stay in hopes that one day she’ll get saved. And sometimes people may not look like they are getting saved or will get saved, but you can’t go by that. Sometimes God will allow things to happen a certain way until zip, bam, boom—that person is saved and on fire for God. Okay? Because all things are possible with God.
The Apostle Paul called death the last enemy, 1 Corinthians 15:26. It is the enemy that digs every grave, Deacon Rome, empties every nursery before its time, and separates those who love each other. It is the enemy that has made every human goodbye weighed down with the possibility that it might be the last goodbye. Lajonette, I know that you’re new because I’ve never seen that name before in my life. Marvin, you’ve been here several times this week. God bless you. Shami, Same, Jehan—God bless you all with over 5,000 with us, 113. God bless you. And I know there’s some more people here who come regularly; I have not seen them. May God bless you all. We won’t be much longer.
And by the way, when you come early in the morning to the early morning new scheduled time for the church service here at Gospel Lighthouse of Prayer, you don’t have to come back at 11 now. You’ve already been to church. And there’s something wonderful about not only going to church, but having gone to church. Okay. You’re welcome to come back, but you don’t have to come back. And one day we may close that service down completely. Right now it’s still going to the chagrin of Mrs. Whyte and the devil himself.
It is the enemy that has made every human goodbye weighed down with the possibility that it might be the last. This is why even with Mrs. Whyte and all of our children, for over almost 39 years—and I started it with Mrs. Whyte when we first got married—every time I would leave the house just to go to pick up the mail, I train my wife to always say, “Goodbye, I love you, Daddy.” You say, “Well, Preacher, what if she doesn’t mean it?” That don’t matter to me. You just be obedient and do what I tell you. See, some of you men get all caught up in whether or not she means it and whether or not she truly loves you. I got news for you, man. Most women don’t love their husbands. Most women don’t. If they’re saved, they got the love of God in their heart. But they got other reasons why they married you. You don’t need to worry about that. She ought to love you, but that’s not always the case. And God’s agape love is the main thing she needs to have for you and the main thing you need to have for her. That’s the real love right there. Okay? That’s what makes me allow her to stay with me. And I thank God that she is still here, even though she’s not a good wife or a good mother or a good woman, as she’s admitting herself. Don’t worry about that. You can’t make people love you. You can’t make people do right. You’re worrying about the wrong thing.
I set a rule in my household with my wife and children. Whenever we depart one from another, we say, “I love you.” She was the first one I trained to do that before the children came. And in my household, she has to be the first one to say it because she’s not prone to do this. It’s not in her to say, “I love you.” Okay. And so she would say at the door, “Bye, Daddy, I love you.” And that’s what we say to this day. See, why? Because she could die before I get back, or I could die before I get back.
My daughter Daniqua—she came down to visit me. The next week she was dead. We said several times together to one another, “I love you. So good to see you. I love you.” Okay? We could have had a negative conversation and been mad and not said, “I love you.” And I’ve trained my wife and my children—I don’t care how mad you are about you can’t have your way or whatever—we’re going to say, “I love you.” And that’s what Daniqua said to me—hugged my neck. I told her I love you. And that was the last time I saw her alive.
And so you say, “Well, Preacher, I’m not going to do that.” You do what you want to do. I’m just saying to me, it is important to do that because I don’t want to be standing here having not said I love you. Now you did. And that’s the same. And every day I tell my children, “I love you.” And as grown as they are, when we see each other and talk with each other and so forth, they always say first and foremost, “Hello, Papa, I love you,” to my face. And then when we depart, “Okay, Papa, bye, I love you.” When they send me a text, they always say, “I love you.” Sometimes all they say is, “Papa, I love you,” and that’s it. Mark, so glad to have you. Samuel. Okay.
And so I would encourage all of you Christian people—even if your parents are lost and full of hell and the devil, and even if your spouse is lost and full of hell and the devil—and by the way, you can’t fake Christianity. Some people are going to be lost in your family. You will be taken up in the Rapture, and they’re going to be left behind. That’s what the Bible talks about. You make sure you say “I love you,” whether they say it or not. Okay? Don’t be petty about it. You make, as a Christian, you say “I love you” from your heart and the love coming from God. Amen. That’s right. Whether they say it or not, if they grumble something or they cuss you out, you don’t worry about that. You, as a Christian, have the ability to do what Christ did and say, “God, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Come on with it now. Stop hating people and calling yourself a Christian.
Mrs. Whyte hates me. She hates me because I won’t let her have her way. Now, deep down, she has a womanly, romantic kind of a love, but she doesn’t have God’s love in her heart. She hates me because I don’t let her have her way, and I don’t hearken to her voice. Okay? But I love her with the God kind of love, and I love her with the God kind of love to the point I’m not going to let her have her way because that’s not good for her.
Okay, so I’m calling on all of you Christians. You’ve got people in your life who hate you—your family who hate you. They hate everything about you. They hate the fact that you’re a Christian. They’re disgusted about that. You don’t know why. Don’t worry about why. You love them back—not with no fake superficial love. And once you have witnessed to them or given them a gospel, don’t say anything else to little people. But I thought, Preacher, you want me to beg them and plead with them and knock on their door and mess with them? No, no. I never told you that. You witness to them one time. You send them a videotape of somebody else preaching like myself, or you give them a gospel, and that’s it. Leave family members alone after you’ve done that because they don’t want to hear it from you, especially. They don’t want to hear that. They don’t want to hear it. The demon in them does not want to hear it.
Death has cast its pall over every birthday, every anniversary, Sister Bliss, every gathering of family—death, the unspoken knowledge that this too shall end. See, this is why God gave me the prayer: “God, prepare us for good days and bad days. God, prepare us for celebrations and tribulations and tragedies. God, prepare us for weddings and funerals. God, prepare us for life and death.” Why? Because all of this is going to end. Your family reunion has spent $2,000. All that’s going to come to an end. It means nothing. Some people have gone to the family reunion in July and then had to go back to a funeral in August to meet the same people. Okay?
But in heaven, the enemy is defeated, Mrs. Whyte—not merely in principle, but he is obliterated in practice. There shall be no more death, Deacon Rome. The funeral homes are shuttered. They’re out of business. No undertaker. We’re looking at the uppertaker—that’s who I’m looking for. I’m not looking for the undertaker; I’m looking for the uppertaker. The grave diggers have no employment. The obituary columns of eternity are blank. Nobody is being reported dead up in here. THE UNDERTAKER HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS FOREVER. GLORY BE TO GOD. THE FUNNY-LOOKING HEARSE DO NOT RUN IN GLORY UP IN HEAVEN.
Beloved, this promise is grounded in the accomplished work of Jesus Christ. Are you born again saved? I don’t care if you’re White or Black. Are you born again saved, and are you acting like you’re born again saved? That’s what makes the difference. Jesus Christ said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
If you were to die today, and you could die—a million things can go wrong in your body. I don’t care how fine you are, how fit you are, how beautiful you think you are, and what kind of medicine you’re taking. I don’t care if you’re taking this medicine called glutathione or what is a popular thing that many people are taking to try to stay young. I don’t care if you’re taking that. It’s a pill that goes into your cells and makes you look younger, healthier—they say will make you live longer. Some of you have heard of it. You’re still going to die.
Ever since I’ve been saved, Sister Bliss, I have been going to health food stores. I’ve eaten health foods all of my saved life. That’s one of the things that God will do for you in your salvation. He will show you how to live healthier. I was raised—I hate to say this, Lord have mercy, it’s just so unclean—my siblings and I and my family, my dad and mom, we were raised on Phenamint. Some of y’all say, “Preacher, you shouldn’t.” Some of you don’t even know what Phenamint is. I think Phenamint is out of business, I don’t know. We were raised on Phenamint. We were raised talking about laxatives and taking laxatives regularly. Why? Because we did nothing but eat junk—McDonald’s, Hardee’s, junk, and the Velveeta cheese. That’s probably the main reason why my mother gave us Phenamint. The Velveeta cheese was not quite right. Y’all know that. I don’t think it came from cows. I don’t know where in the world it came from. Fried chicken made with—Lord, that will make you say, “Praise the Lord”—Crisco oil. Fried chicken and hog jowls in the collard greens. Y’all don’t know anything about no soul food now. And Mrs. Whyte—not Mrs. Whyte, Mrs. Whyte can’t cook like my mother—but Shirley, Mrs. Shirley Whyte, my mother, she was raised by the old school women, probably one of the last ones raised by the old school women who would make some food on Sunday that’ll make your tongue slap your brain out of your head. I’m telling you the truth. I lie not. I’ve never had chicken like that ever since my mother made it. And we would travel with Kentucky Fried Chicken. I know y’all heard of the boy who was sitting in the car and he couldn’t quite see the sign “Kentucky Fried Chicken” that well. He started crying. His mother and father said, “What are you crying for?” He said, “The Kentucky Fried Children over there.” That’s crazy. But we would ride with Kentucky—we always, I mean, that was the thing, buddy. When we had to make that trip from North Carolina—North Cackalacky—down to Florida, buddy, we riding with the Kentucky Fried Chicken. We didn’t stop to go get the Kentucky Fried Chicken; we already had it. And it rode with us. And you know, if you know about Kentucky Fried Chicken, even when it’s cold, it tasted good. Until one day I saw the maggots come out of the Kentucky Fried Chicken at the house. But anyway, I digress.
This promise is grounded in the accomplished work of the Lord Jesus Christ—this overcoming of death. He did not simply survive death; He conquered death. Somebody ought to say “Amen” right there. Rising bodily on the third day—glory be to God. He stripped death of its dominion. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”
See, if you’re born again saved, you’re not afraid of death. They’re not in a hurry. I’m not in a hurry to die. I’ve never been suicidal in my life. I don’t even understand why people become suicidal. And now they have organizations that will kill you for a price—you got to pay to die. I’ve never had any thoughts of dying like that because of Jesus. Jesus is not in the business of dying. Jesus is resurrected. Okay? He’s in the resurrection business. Okay? If you’re contemplating death and thinking about death all the time, there’s something wrong because God and Jesus—they’re about life. They’re alive. 1 Corinthians 15:55.
The resurrection of Christ is the guarantee that death’s reign is finite. And in the New Jerusalem, the verdict becomes visible. Death himself is cast into the lake of fire, the second death. Revelation 20:14. Death dies. No more death because death himself is cast into the lake of fire, the second death. The enemy is destroyed.
This means that every reunion in heaven is permanent. When you see your believing loved ones again, you will never have to say goodbye again. No more goodbyes in heaven. You will never receive another phone call with terrible news. You will never stand—and how many of you have that fear of receiving that phone call, tragedy, at 3 o’clock in the morning? Don’t fear it; just accept it, because it’s going to happen in your life. Somebody in your family you just got through talking to is now dead. You will never stand again at a graveside—and that’s probably the most painful part of death, watching that body go down into the ground. The family of God will never be broken up by death. Life—full, abundant, everlasting life—reigns without interruption or end.
Beloved, the hymn writer was not exaggerating when he wrote, “When we’ve been there ten thousand years,” Mrs. Whyte, “bright shining as the sun, we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.” Ten thousand years and eternity has not diminished by a single second. Death cannot touch heaven and eternity.
Shall we pray?
Holy Father God, I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know that we deserve death because of our sins, our faults, and our failures. And I thank You, Holy Father God, for loving us so much to send Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered, bled, and died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose on the third day. He took our place in death and rose from the dead, conquering death.
So Lord, help everybody here who may be religious but are still lost. Help them to believe in You, Lord Jesus Christ, as You led me to do December the 19th, 1979. And Holy Father God, thank You for the people who prayed for me. I thank You, Lord, for calling me from the womb. I don’t understand it all. I’m just a nobody telling everybody about Somebody who can save anybody. I don’t dwell on things like that, but I do believe You called me from the womb. That’s the reason why You had me to pray first of all. That’s the reason why You had me to understand that my dad and mom—for a long period of their lives, even though they carried us to church—were lost and on their way to hell as well. And I believe that about my mother to this day. I believe my dad got saved under the preaching of Billy Graham and genuinely saved because he genuinely changed—the most loving man that I’ve ever met in my life is my dad. He loved us so much—he loved us too much—and because he never had a dad.
And so Holy Father God, open the eyes of the blind such as Mrs. Marika Whyte and everybody else who are still blind. They’re still blinded by the devil, and they don’t see. Show them the light. Open their eyes. And help them to truly believe in You, Lord Jesus Christ, so that when death comes, they’re ready, and they’re ready to deal with that and also to skip hell and go to heaven. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray and for His sake. Amen.
So dear friend of mine, if you’re with us today, let this be the day that you meet Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. And I am here to tell you—most of these people know—that if God can save me, if Jesus can save me, He can save you. I am the most unlikely person to be saved and certainly the most unlikely to be preaching the gospel on a daily basis for over 10 years by the grace of God, and preaching the gospel and the Word of God now for over 46 years—approaching five decades. You must understand that only God can do that with a man like me. And so if He can do that with me and save me, He can save you. All you have to do is believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.
But Jesus Christ said the most important words in the history of the world and the most loving words when He said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Praise the Lord.
Cynthia—I don’t know if this is Mrs. Whyte’s cousin Cynthia Reed, I mean Aunt Cynthia Reed—is asking. And these are the kind of questions that pastors love to hear, Sister Bliss. She’s asking—and I see Sister Gypsy Hart with us, glory be to God, on a Sunday morning. Wow. All the way from Canada. And Deacon Rome is still hanging in there with us. We’re getting ready to close. I appreciate you all staying throughout the entire service. And Sister Gypsy Hart, so good to see you.
But Cynthia is asking this question, which is the kind of question that pastors like to hear. She’s asking, “Do you usually do this all the time? I would like to join.” You’re welcome. You’re welcome to join, Cynthia. Now, if this is Cynthia Reed, Mrs. Marika Whyte’s aunt, you can join too, but I need to talk with you. I used to be your pastor at another church, Mrs. Cynthia Reed, if you’re here.
But ladies and gentlemen, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t play games. Take God seriously. If you feel a tugging at your heart, that’s the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart. Okay.
You heard the question that Cynthia asked. You may be asking that question. We’re here seven o’clock every Sunday morning. That’s our main service of the whole week. Now, we used to be at 11 o’clock, and we’re still at 11 o’clock for a little while—maybe for the rest of the year. I don’t know. The crowds that show up, it’s a different crowd that shows up for the most part, but the numbers are great. And so we may keep it if God gives me the strength to do that. And we’re here on Wednesdays for the Gospel Lighthouse of Prayer International Wednesday night prayer meeting. We still call it “night” because of the tradition of it, but we meet around noontime on Wednesdays. And we’re supposed to meet around noontime on Thursday with the Thanksgiving Thursday service, which bores some people to tears, but we still have it because we want to thank God anyhow. And we’re going to teach other people to thank God—and not just to pray, but to pray and to thank God for what He’s already done. Then you can believe for Him to do some other things as well.
Okay, so feel free to come. Follow us. Follow us, like us, and all that good stuff. That way, because I can start a service at any time, and we’ll do so—have done so. In fact, this past week, we had services in the nightcap service two to three times this past week, and I love those services because those people are really saved who come at 11:30, 12 o’clock, 11:59, 12 o’clock midnight, and we’ll stay for two and three hours. You know they say, okay.
So God bless you, my dear friends. Until next time, Cynthia, follow us and join us anytime. We’re not here for your money; we’re here for your soul. And I really mean that. If the Lord leads you to give, please give. But we’re not here for that.
So if you’re willing, Cynthia, and everybody else—if you’re willing to get prepared for death and to get saved to heaven instead of hell—believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. For again, Jesus Christ said the most important words and the most loving words in the history of the world for you and for everybody: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Do that for three reasons. Believe on Jesus Christ for three reasons:
Number one: You are a wicked and evil sinner—and so am I, so is the Pope, so is the Dalai Lama, and so is even Joel Osteen. Nobody—pardon me—is good. Nobody. We all have done evil in God’s sight. And God, as I told you earlier, takes the evil we do very seriously. God does not allow anybody to get away with anything. God is good. God is loving. But God does not play when it comes down to violating His law. You saw that in the Garden of Eden. When God tells you something, He expects you to do it, and He’s going to hold you accountable—whether you like it or not. You say, “Well, Preacher, I never heard about the Ten Commandments.” Well, now you know. See, ignorance is not going to work because there are millions of Bibles on this earth that God left back for all of us to read. If you went speeding at 80 miles an hour in a school zone that’s 15 miles an hour, you think the police is going to want to hear that you were ignorant of the speed zone? According to the law, even man’s law, it doesn’t matter whether you’re ignorant of the law; you’re going to be punished for breaking the law. And that’s how God operates. God loves you. He did everything He could to save you. I mean, He gave you the entire Bible. Nobody has an excuse. Red, yellow, black, or white—we are all under God’s commandments, and we’ll be held accountable. And God has stated we all have broken His commandments. The Bible says, God says, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Everybody. Doesn’t matter who you are.
Number two: God has warned you and told you that you’re going to die, and He told you why. God said you’re going to die because you have committed sins. “The wages, the payment of sin is death.” That’s what you get for sinning against God—you’ve got to die. The man or woman who sins must die. That sounds like to me we are under a God who does not play. He is the one and only true God.
And then number three: You will be punished and suffer in the burning hell—yea, the lake of fire—after you die, if you do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ in this life. As sure as I’m Black and my last name is Whyte. And it makes no color. It makes no difference what color you are—Black or White, Red or Yellow, whoever. It does not matter. God is not the author of confusion, and God is no respecter of persons. Okay. Whatever God said for one, He said it for all. There are no special people on this earth regarding that. We do have a group of people called the Jews who are the chosen people of God, made to be an example to us. And we thank God for His wisdom and all that He has done to get the gospel to us. And by the way, Jesus Christ is Jewish. He was a Jewish carpenter. And He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins. And all you have to do is believe in Him. He is the Lamb of God who has taken away the sin of the world. And no wonder He’s a Jewish carpenter because He’s building a beautiful place for you to live when you go to heaven. Okay?
So believe in Him. Trust in Him. Have faith in Him. And He will save you. Pray and ask Him to save you. For the Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Let’s pray. Repeat after me phrase by phrase and meaning from your heart:
Holy Father God, have mercy and grace upon me, a sinner. I admit that I’ve done evil in Your sight. I’ve broken Your Ten Commandments by lying, by stealing, by lusting after people and things, by dishonoring and disrespecting my parents, by dishonoring and disrespecting You, by lying on You, by taking Your name in vain, and many other sins. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul. Please forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in You, Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who’s taken away all of the sins of the world, including my sins—wash my sins away in the blood of Christ. Lord Jesus Christ, I believe in You. Please come into my heart and into my spirit and save my soul from the burning hell and from my sins. And help me to follow You in the newness of life and help me to permanently change and repent of my sins. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray and for His sake. Amen.
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, may God bless you and may God keep you. Sister Gypsy Hart, Sister Bliss, Deacon Rome—thank you so much for your gifts and your Christian love. And all of you who have been here throughout this morning early morning—by the way, I don’t know about you, but I like this early morning service, everybody. And like I said, if you come to the early morning service from now on—which is probably going to be the longest service of the day—you do not have to come back at 11 unless the Lord leads you to come back. We are still having that service because the news has not gotten to everybody yet.
But for the remainder of this day, in the words of even Whitney Houston, “Look to the Lord and pray without ceasing.” Look to Him and pray without ceasing throughout this day because the spirit that you have right now, I pray will stay with you. If you feel lifted up, if you feel cleaner, if you feel more encouraged, I want you to stay that way for the remainder of this day. And don’t leave here and follow the devil into sin. Pray and ask God to lead you not into temptation. And pray and ask God to not only give you peace, but keep you in peace.
For those of you who prayed the sinner’s prayer and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ from your heart, may God bless you and may God keep you and shine His face upon you. Congratulations for doing the most important thing in life, and that is believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and praying and asking Jesus Christ to save you.
Here are a few things that God wants you to do now. Here are your next steps:
Number one: Get baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Find a local church in your area. Let them know you got saved, and the pastor there told you need to get baptized as Jesus Christ told and commanded all of us.
Number two: Start praying. Pray every day, three times a day. Pray the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew chapter 6, and pray without ceasing until you meet God in Jesus Christ face to face. Cynthia, write these things down.
Number three: Read the Bible every day. You don’t have to read a whole book of the Bible. I know my daughter Daniella Danny has done that—I’m reading whole books at one time. If you want to do that, do that. If you got the time to do that, do that. But one chapter a day will be great. Three chapters would be better. One verse would be great as well.
Number four: Obey the Bible. Don’t just be a reader of the Bible, don’t just be a listener to the Bible, but a doer of the Bible, as the Bible says. That’s where the power is because Jesus Christ said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
Number five: Please be a witness for the Lord. If the Lord leads you and you feel comfortable, understanding that everybody can’t handle what you’re handling, when you come to the church service, go ahead and share the live, if the Lord leads you to do so. When you do that, you are witnessing to other people. You’re allowing them to hear the gospel and biblical truth. And if you’re worried about something that I might say, that’s okay. You know I’m going to preach the gospel towards the end. Wait and go live at the end, do as the Lord leads you to do.
But you can go to a free gospel tract resource called fellowshiptractleague.org and order free gospel tracts. Now, don’t order a thousand tracts if you’re not going to pass out a thousand tracts—you’re going to have a thousand tracts sitting around the house. But order 100 gospel tracts and make sure you have a few in your pocket or your purse when you leave the house. And make sure you have some in the car. Because here’s what’s going to happen: If you’re saved, if you’re born again saved, God is going to tell you while you are out and about at the grocery store, the car wash, or Walmart or Target or wherever you go. God is going to tell you and remind you, “Now when you pay for this food right here, you need to give that lady a gospel pamphlet and give her a chance to get saved.” I’m not going to be there telling you nothing—I know that’s bad English; I’m trying to help you to understand it, it sounds better—it’s not going to be Pastor Whyte telling you. The Holy Spirit of God is going to tell you. And you therefore need to be ready. Okay? At least have the gospel pamphlets in your car somewhere up front. OK, so you can get to it because I’m here to tell you: if you’re saved, God is going to tell you through the Holy Spirit, “You need to witness to that person.” Because you may not be interested in trying to witness to people and get them saved, but God—He’s the greatest soul winner in the history of the world. And Jesus is the greatest soul winner in the history of the world. And the Holy Spirit is the other One winning souls because They know. Most of us don’t care for souls. We’re not soul conscious. Having the gospel pamphlets with you, the Lord will teach you how to be soul conscious, having souls on your mind instead of just your soul. Okay? Okay. This is a commandment. This is not a suggestion. Jesus Christ is the One who tells everybody—all of us who are saved—”Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel.” And nothing will fire you up and keep you on point like being on the mission of telling other people about Jesus. Okay?
So ladies and gentlemen, go to fellowshiptractleague.org and order some gospel tracts.
God bless you, dear friends. Until next time, pray for me as I pray for thee. Pray for us, follow us, like us. Give to the ministry through the system that is available to you. You can also give at Cash App: Daniel Whyte III—I’ll give this—Cash App, sign Daniel Whyte, capital I, capital I, capital I. Anything that the Lord leads you to give will help us along the way. We’re under great satanic attack, and any prayer support, financial support that you can offer will be greatly appreciated because it’s greatly needed. Sonia, thank you for giving as well, and everybody who has given—can’t name everybody right now, but I thank God for everybody who’s done that down through the years.
Remember the motto of the Marines: Semper Fidelis—be always faithful to the Lord in this case. Never, never, never quit. Semper Supra—that’s the motto of the Air Force and the Space Force. Always above. Keep your heart and mind. Stay on the Lord above, and He’ll keep you in perfect peace. God loves you. Jesus Christ loves you. And I love you in the Lord. God bless you, dear friends. Until next time. Lord willing, I’ll see you soon.
No Sarah, God bless you. Thank you for your kind words. But I do not have private conversations with any woman or any man nowadays. But I do thank you for your kind words. God bless you all. Have a wonderful day. Like I told you, I went over 6,300. We’re closing out with—if you’ve been here for this entire service, you’re good to go. You don’t have to come back at 11. I may preach the same thing at 11. I may preach the next point. The next point is the vanishing of pain. And I’m more excited—believe it or not—I’m more excited about, for some reason, Sister Bliss, I’m more excited about preaching this third point than the second point. I can’t explain it. But anyway, y’all have a wonderful day in the Lord. Pray for this old preacher, and I’ll be praying for you. God bless you.
Never Too Much just showed up. God bless you, Never Too Much. We’re closing the services, but Lord willing, I’ll be back at 11. Never, never too much.
I still have not received an email from you. Still looking for that email. Glory be to God. Sonya Mills showed up and showed out. Deacon Rome showed up and showed out. Sister Bliss showed up and showed out. Cynthia, God bless you. Join us anytime. No Sarah, God bless you. 92968. Plotch, Richard, Rose, Linda, Rose, Mary, Kay, Michelle, Mary. Sister Bliss showed up and showed out always. Roy, uh—who is that? Robert. Somebody. God bless you for being here. Glory be to God in the highest. My brothers and my sisters.

He is also the founder, president, and editor-in-chief of the 20-year-old BlackChristianNews.com (BCNN1.com), which has impacted every denomination in the evangelical and Christian world and has influenced presidents, the U.S. government, governments around the world, and the public square. BlackChristianNews.com has been named the #1 Black Christian website and blog in the world for four years running by the independent Feedspot and is on the list of the top 60 Christian news sites in the world—red, yellow, black, or white.
He has preached the Gospel and the Word of God in person across America and in over 24 countries to thousands of people. He has preached the Gospel and the Word of God to millions of people around the world with the help of the internet, preaching live and on-demand multiple times a day for over eight years, to this very day. His mottoes are “Crying in the Wilderness,” “Exiled on the Isle of Patmos,” and “Preaching the Gospel by any means necessary,” all for the glory of God and Jesus Christ.
Daniel Whyte III is the president of the over-40-year-old Gospel Light Evangelistic Society International and the over-37-year-old Gospel Light House of Prayer International. He is known worldwide as the prophet who predicted the Coronavirus Plague over 10 years before it hit in recorded preaching and writing. God also led him to guide thousands through the Coronavirus Plague that killed over 20 million people because of the sins in the Judas-Laodicean church.
Daniel Whyte III’s greatest blessing in this life is his “quiver full” of 10 children—Daniella (Danni), Daniel IV, Danita Evangeline, Danae Mary-Louise, Daniqua Grace, Danyel Ezekiel, Danyelle Elizabeth Breedlove, Danielle Tekeela, Duran-Daniel, and the first Daniel IV (deceased and in heaven with the Lord)—along with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Daniel Whyte III has been unblissfully but sexually satisfyingly married to his first and only wife, Meriqua Whyte of Christiana, Jamaica, for over 37 years since December 19, 1987. Jesus Christ said: “And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.” Even though many evangelicals, charismatics, and Protestants try to act as if these words of Jesus Christ are not a reality in our modern Christianity—primarily because of the Satanic-driven prosperity gospel and an over-positive philosophy, which is a lie not based in reality or biblical truth—the words of Jesus Christ are true for every person who preaches the Gospel. The outcomes of the Gospel are a changed life and opposition from family, lukewarm Christians, Laodicean-Judas pastors and churches, the world, and the devil. This is a reality in our present evil world.
While Daniel Whyte III thoroughly enjoys his married life because he did not allow his wife to have her way at any point and was and is solidly and biblically the head of his household throughout the marriage—often quoting Joshua, “As for me and my house, we’re going to serve the Lord” “up in here!”—and because his wife never failed in the very important area of sex, which he got married for in the first place to avoid sinning against God, he has especially enjoyed the privilege and joy of raising his children in the Lord virtually by himself. He served the Lord with them every day of their lives, from the time they were born until they graduated from college, became adults, and moved on.
However, his wife, Meriqua Whyte—motivated by Satan, with a Pharaoh-style pride mixed with the well-known female Jamaican-style pride, stubbornness, rebelliousness, and witchcraft—has been his greatest Judas enemy in the world and has been what Paul spoke of: a “messenger of Satan” and a “thorn in the flesh.” Amazingly, and by the grace of God, that Satanic evil opposition has spurred Daniel Whyte III on to preach the Gospel probably more times than any man on record. God has honored him because he did not “hearken to the voice of his wife.” Whyte tells other Christian men to only hearken to the voice of God and Jesus Christ—not to their wives, as so many thousands of church men have been taught by pastors and other older men throughout the years. Remember, we are in this worldwide, multi-generational mess because Adam hearkened to the voice of his wife and not to the voice of God.
Before they were married, Daniel Whyte III told his wife Meriqua Whyte that they would not do family life as her parents did, because their married life was hellacious and ended in divorce, as did some of her other family members, including the aunt she was living with. He also told his wife they would not do family life as his parents did, because it was also hellacious and out of order since his mother was the head of the household, not his father. But thanks be to God, they never got a divorce. Whyte told his wife before they got married that they were going to do it God’s way according to Ephesians chapters 5 and 6, or no way at all. And then he asked his wife, “Are you willing to do marriage God’s way according to Ephesians chapters 5 and 6?” And she said yes. Whyte told her before they got married that if she did not live up to her end of the deal, all bets were off.
Because Daniel Whyte III’s wife, Meriqua Whyte, was so proud, unsubmissive, stubborn, and rebellious after they got married, God led him to read Ephesians chapters 5 and 6 every day in their family devotions throughout their marriage. In the first year of their marriage, Daniel Whyte III also gave his wife a list of verses for women from the Word of God for her to read, which she still reads to this day. He also bought her many books to read to help her be the wife God wanted her to be.
Whyte realized early in the marriage that his wife was not a born-again, saved person even though she lied and said she was before they got married. After over 37 years of marriage, she is still not saved, never bearing any fruit of a saved person, to the point of not even wanting to tell her children, “I love you” and not wanting to hug them when they were little children, even after her husband told her to do so. She also hated the daily family devotions that her husband led and tried to hinder them. She also demonically hated and tried to hinder every Gospel preaching service to this very day.
However, only by the grace of God, they are still married, and despite the devil constantly working through his wife to try to hinder him from preaching the Word of God, he is still preaching the Gospel and the Word of God live and on-demand. His ministry reaches over 148,800 people per month with over 21,000 unique views per month, reaching 149 countries, preaching the Gospel and the Word of God in 2 to 3 services a day, 7 days a week. Glory be to God!
Mrs. Meriqua Whyte’s Apology to her Husband and Their 7 Children for not Being a Biblical Wife or Mother
Mrs. Meriqua Whyte, the Wife of Daniel Whyte III, Gave him the Best Father’s Day Gift Ever About 10 Years Ago When She Unexpectedly and Voluntarily Apologized for the First Time to Him and Their 7 Children for Not Being the Wife, Mother, and Christian Example of the Woman She Should Have Been Over the Past 37 Years of Marriage
Here is what Mrs. Meriqua Whyte wrote ten years ago after verbally apologizing to the entire family on Father’s Day, right before church service:
Over thirty years of marriage. Over thirty years of ups and downs. Over thirty years of trying to make our problems a personal thing between my husband and me. Thankfully, he did not allow me to do that and kept telling me it was between God and me—over thirty years of acting on my feelings and not on what the Bible says. Over thirty years of refusing to obey God’s simple command to a wife—to be obedient to your husband in all things. Over thirty years of disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, lying, and dishonesty, all rooted in pride. Over thirty years of simply not choosing to mature as a Christian.
God has been dealing with me for over thirty years now about changing my attitude and behavior as a wife, which has manifested itself in disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, lying, dishonesty, having an ungodly attitude and spirit, and simply not being the wife, mother, or example of a Christian woman that I should have been throughout the years. (By the way, for those of you who may be thinking that my disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, lying, and dishonesty have resulted in adultery, I will say here that I have never committed any adultery or had sex with another man besides my husband, Daniel Whyte III, since I was born.)
God kept telling me I needed to stop my rebellious and stubborn behavior, apologize to my husband and children, and get my heart right with him, my husband, and my children. He sent others my way to tell me how to behave:
- My husband, but I didn’t want to hear it from him
- Other Christian women speakers
- Other preachers
- Books and other materials, but I would not take heed
I knew what to do, but I chose not to do it. The devil had me thinking and believing—as he is having a lot of wives and mothers think and believe—that your relationship with your husband and how you respond to him, whether positive or negative, will not affect your relationship with your children or your relationship with God. I say without hesitation that this is one of the devil’s lies, and sad to say, many wives and mothers are falling for this lie.
Another lie of the devil that Christian wives are falling for is that you can still have a strong relationship with God without being submissive to your husband. Lie! Lie! Lie! There is no truth to this. I know because I have experienced this and am still experiencing this as I am going through this breaking process, which is not happening overnight.
Even throughout my years of rebelliousness, stubbornness, and pride, I still kept praying the prayer I used to pray daily before I got married: “Lord, make me be exactly what You want me to be. Lord, break, make, and mold me into what you want me to be.” Well, God took that prayer seriously, and once you accept Him, He will begin the breaking process. It’s up to us how long that breaking process will take. For me, sad to say, it has taken over 30 years, and the breaking is not complete. In what way is God breaking me down right now? Well, our children have grown up. The three oldest have gone through and are still going through college, have gotten their degrees, and some are working on their second, third, and fourth degrees, launching their careers and moving out. God slapped me into reality and truly intensified the breaking process. My husband told me before our first child was born and repeatedly while the children were young that my job was to love our children and make positive memories with them and that if I did that, I would have a wonderful relationship with them as adults in the time to come. Well, I disobeyed God and my husband, who did not let up on his duties. And he has a wonderful relationship with our children, even the girls, and I don’t. However, God led me to finally break the day before Father’s Day, and while I was helping my husband get dressed to preach, I asked him if I could apologize to him and the entire family. That’s the first time I ever did that on my own. Throughout the years, he has always told me that I needed to get my heart right with God, him, and my children; otherwise, I would never have the joy and peace of the Lord in my life. However, I kept on lying and denying that I was the problem.
Here is what I said to my husband and children on Saturday afternoon, June 17, 2017, the day before Father’s Day. My husband told the entire family that this was the best Father’s Day gift I have ever given to him:
“Daddy, children, I apologize for not being the wife, mother, and example of a Christian woman I should have been throughout the years. I have shown nothing but pride, disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, and a bad attitude and spirit toward God and my husband in front of you. My disobedience and rebelliousness have caused much unnecessary unrest and upheaval in the family. As my husband told me, things could have gone much better if I had obeyed God’s word from the beginning. Please accept my apology, and I am asking you to forgive me.”
The diminishing of peace and joy in my life throughout the years I brought on myself. Not having a proper relationship with God, my husband, and my children, I brought on myself—all because I chose the disobedient route. My number one desire is to live a life of peace—peace with God, my husband, and my children. I have learned that peace will not come as long as I live in disobedience, rebelliousness, stubbornness, and pride.
I will end this with two notes: (1) Happy Father’s Day to my husband: you have been a great husband and father. (2) Happy Children’s Day to my children: You all have been great children. I have no complaints whatsoever against my husband and, of course, children; you have never been at fault. My bad behavior is all on me, and I’m sorry I put you through this. May God bless your lives, and I love you.
Ephesians 5:22 – 6:20 (KJV)
Below is the passage in the Bible that Daniel Whyte III read in their family devotions every day for decades. It covers the biblical duties of the husband, the wife, and the children, and includes how to fight against the devil who is seeking to destroy the family.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
The Gospel in a Nutshell
If you were to die today, where would you go: Heaven or Hell? If you’re not sure, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Jesus Christ said the most important words ever spoken in the history of the world when He said, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

The Most Important Question in the World: Have You Been Twice Born?
This is the “Chief of sinners,” Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, with the Gospel Light Minute X Podcast #447, titled, “The Big Question.” I’m here to remind you of what the Bible says: that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” like you and me.
“Have You Been Born Again?”
The question is not, “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but, “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life, likewise, is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).
A New Nature Needed
By physical birth, we become partakers of human nature; by being born again, we become “partakers of the divine nature.” A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting.” The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.”
Not “Trying” But “Trusting”
“Trying to follow Christ” is not Christianity. Christianity is not imitation of Christ; it is the indwelling of Christ. Christianity is not trying to do anything. It is trusting Christ, who has done it all! He has “finished the work,” and there is nothing left to do but simply to receive and trust Him. He shed His precious blood on the cross, and the work is all done once and forever! Cease trying and begin trusting! Believers will progressively become more and more like Christ, but by His power, not their own.
What Must I Do To Be Saved?
Simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.” The Bible states in John 1:12-13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
You are born again, you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in and life begins!
What Is Meant By “Believe”?
To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God… now commandeth all men everywhere to repent.”
The faith which saves, then, includes the necessity to repent and to receive Christ as Savior and Lord, to rest upon Him alone for salvation. It means to trust Him so utterly and completely that, if He should fail, there would be no hope at all!
May I Know That I Am Born Again?
This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved, you are “born again,” you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!
One Final Word
You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again,” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again,” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you want to be saved from the wrath to come and from an eternity in Hell, and if you believe that Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead, and you are willing to trust Jesus Christ with all of your heart so you can go to Heaven, please pray with me what is called the sinner’s prayer:
Holy Father God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I admit that I have sinned against You and that I have broken Your Ten Commandments. I have lied before. I have stolen things before. I have lusted after people and things before. I have dishonored and disobeyed my parents. I have taken Your holy Name in vain. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul and forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in Your Holy Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for my sins, was buried, and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to repent of my sins past. Help me to turn from my old, evil life and follow You in the new life. For it is in Your Name I pray. Amen.
