1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,920 Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith to Live By. 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,520 I'm Pam Christian, your host, each and every week with this podcast, where I seek to help 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,760 us explore current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective. 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,760 So we, as God's children, know how He wants us to respond. 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,800 You've probably noticed a tremendous shift as of late. 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,760 And as I've explored in the past couple of weeks with Eric Burton, my guest from Groundbreakers 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,960 International, beyond what the trusted prophets have said, we have evidence from the Hebrew 8 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,160 calendar to expect the time since August 17th when we entered the Hebrew month of Elul. 9 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:42,960 We have stepped into an intensifying time leading up to what Eric called a new era that 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,280 Johnny Inlow and others have called the Kingdom Era. 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:52,360 The Jewish New Year began September 15th at sunset and the 10 days from Rosh Hashanah, 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,600 the New Year to Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, that begins at sunset 13 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,080 on September 24th are, in my personal expectation, extremely important days immediately preceding 14 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,360 the visible intervention of God in the affairs of humanity all around the globe. 15 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,120 And world events are radically shifting in what seems to some to be a sudden happening 16 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,880 when in reality, as we've explored since 2020 with this podcast, world events have always 17 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,520 been carefully under God's control. 18 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,240 As I've shared in the past, the great reset, the self-appointed elite want, is, in reality, 19 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,480 God's great setup. 20 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,860 As God said through Julie Green in her September 14th post, the enemy is walking into every 21 00:01:38,860 --> 00:01:41,800 trap God has set before them. 22 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,920 Similarly, Hank Kuhneman said on Flashpoint recently, we can expect to see evidence of 23 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,720 a great turnaround around the time of the Jewish New Year. What looks hopeless for us, not 24 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,040 unlike the Hebrews experienced when pushed up against the Red Sea, will provide opportunity 25 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,160 for God to intervene on behalf of his people. And this will go down as one of the greatest 26 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,680 acts of God in modern history, as God intervenes to bring justice. 27 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,920 And we're even hearing about it from mainstream media who will soon be forced to tell the 28 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:16,640 whole truth on everything they have been lying and misleading the people about. 29 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:23,080 For example, it seems the puppet masters of Joe Biden have turned on him. And the protection 30 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,160 that Hunter Biden has received over his criminal charges seems to be being lifted. 31 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,280 Also, on September 14th, Hunter was indicted on federal gun charges. We also have video 32 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,680 evidence about the Biden crime family that is expected to surface by October 31st. This 33 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,120 video is expected to prevent Joe from running for president. 34 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,080 With this, there's talk about Michelle Obama running on the Democratic ticket. At the same 35 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,360 time, it seems the truth about Barack Obama's lies and deception are being revealed. Did 36 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,600 you see the Tucker Carlson interviews concerning Barack Obama in the past few weeks? And Speaker 37 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,040 of the House Kevin McCarthy was seriously challenged by Congressman Matt Gaetz for his failure 38 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,840 of keeping his agreement that got him the position as Speaker in the first place. This 39 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,520 is just a very small sampling of what is rapidly being brought out to finally be exposed and 40 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,600 properly dealt with. All of this is because of the heightened spiritual battle taking 41 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,960 place in our midst. In fact, if you have been suffering radically different trials and difficulties 42 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,040 lately, it's because of what is taking place in the spiritual realm. My immediate family 43 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,800 and nearly everyone I know is suffering most unexpected circumstances that have come at 44 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:42,480 a time when we are especially weary because of everything we've endured since 2020. 45 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,600 Because now more than ever we need to experience the power of the Holy Spirit, I've scheduled 46 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,200 Jared Lasky as my guest today to help us better understand the vital connection we must have 47 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,040 with God the Holy Spirit. In these days, perhaps more than any other days in the New Testament 48 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,800 history, our need for a genuine connection with the Holy Spirit is the greatest. Jesus 49 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,680 told his disciples as recorded in John and therefore provides instruction for us that 50 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:16,000 his departure would mean we would now have access to God in the person of the Holy Spirit 51 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,480 who indwells every believer in Jesus, who is to guide us into all truth and provide us 52 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,920 with wisdom and counsel. The Church at large has not done a sufficient job discipling us 53 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:33,120 about the Holy Spirit, so join me in welcoming Jared Lasky to the program. Jared Lasky and 54 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,120 his wife, Rachelle, co-founded Fireborne Ministries to teach believers how to live a daily spirit 55 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,200 empowered life. You can find their resources and learn more about their ministry at firebornministries.com. 56 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,600 They also have courses such as entry-level prophecy, The Last Days, The Baptism with 57 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,120 the Holy Spirit, and more on CharismaCourses.com. And the popular podcast, Adventures in the 58 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:02,040 Spirit, is available on the Charisma Podcast Network or anywhere you listen to podcasts. 59 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,320 Here is my interview with Jared about the Holy Spirit and how we must make sure we have 60 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,560 an unhindered relationship with him. May we use these days as God has instructed his 61 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:17,560 people between Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, 62 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:30,560 to position ourselves to be blessed without restriction in this new year, this new era. 63 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,280 Jared Lasky, I have really been looking forward to having you on my podcast, especially knowing 64 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:40,720 that this was going to run right after my interview with Eric Burton. Eric Burton and 65 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,800 I have been exploring the Hebrew calendar, which as of September 15, 2023, transitioned 66 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,480 us into the year 5784 on the Hebrew calendar. And what we've been learning is that God has 67 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,920 been positioning the church, or maybe re-it positioning the church would be a better way 68 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,400 to say it, so that we understand what he is saying and we decree and we declare it to 69 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,320 see his kingdom well done on earth as it is in heaven. And one of the things that's vital 70 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:15,680 for that to happen is for God's people to truly know and respond to the Holy Spirit. 71 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,220 So that's what I want to talk with you about today is how people can actually know the 72 00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:24,200 Holy Spirit. A lot of people know about him, but I don't think as many people personally 73 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,000 know him. What do you say to that? 74 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,080 Yeah, I think that's a great question. I think people have a tendency to know God the Father 75 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,720 and God the Son, but ignore the Holy Spirit because there's been like this mystery about 76 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,800 him through the ages or kind of ignoring or even some people don't like to see some of 77 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,120 the manifestations of the Holy Spirit or they might have an aversion to it and that might 78 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,360 be because of their upbringing or theological training or even just personal experiences 79 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,480 that they may have had in some places. But the Holy Spirit was present at creation. He 80 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:04,560 was hovering over the faces of the deep from Genesis 1 verses 1 through 2. He's part of 81 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,560 the Godhead, the triunity of God with God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit 82 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,960 in community with them as a family. And we have the distinct privilege and honor to know 83 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:21,160 him and not just Jesus, not just God the Father, but have fellowship with the Holy Spirit and 84 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,080 have a personal encounter with him and know him as a person because he has a will and 85 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:32,920 emotions and feelings, a personality and he loves to glorify Jesus. So really, I just 86 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,680 want people to know that he loves them. He's with them always when we receive Jesus. We 87 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,680 receive the Holy Spirit in that moment, but there's so much more available in the spirit 88 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,880 empowered life as we walk with the Holy Spirit as we spend time with Jesus and God the Father. 89 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,160 Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was the verse in John 14 verses 12 to 14 where Jesus says 90 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,200 that we would do even greater works than he did. That was actually my frustration. I mean, 91 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,600 I was praying to the Lord saying, why aren't we seeing more of your power done on earth 92 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:10,280 as it is in heaven? And I really clearly heard the Lord say it was for lack of knowledge. 93 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,960 And specifically as I've come to press in on that, it's lack of knowledge about the 94 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,520 Holy Spirit. I think we all have a pretty easy time understanding, as you mentioned, 95 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,480 God the Father, even known as Abba, which would be like Daddy, that we can be that close, that 96 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,600 personal with our Father, our Heavenly Father. We know about Jesus, our Redeemer, as our 97 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,840 brother, the firstborn of many, and we relate to him as our champion. But somewhere along the line, 98 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,360 the doctrines about the Holy Spirit have been blurred. And as a result, the church has been 99 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,680 impotent. And I think that we're at a time right now where God's saying no more. He wants that to 100 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:50,440 change. Yeah, the Holy Spirit is personable. The Holy Spirit is relatable. The Holy Spirit is a 101 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,200 person. As I'd said just a moment ago, he has a personality. And really, the Apostle Paul talks 102 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,480 about having fellowship with the Holy Spirit. And even in the book of Acts, during this, 103 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,440 one of the great controversies that they had to address in the day about, can we eat meat? 104 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,200 Can we not eat meat? What about all the unclean things? And what about these Gentiles coming 105 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,440 to Christ Jesus? Are they saved? How do we address this? What do we say? They said something very 106 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:25,400 incredible to me. They wrote a letter back saying, it seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit. 107 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,400 To the Holy Spirit, they were surrendered. And they had this fellowship and friendship with 108 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,960 the Holy Spirit in the early church that we need to have today where they personally know the Holy 109 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:44,520 Spirit. And this is his guidance and direction. And from there, they were able to issue these 110 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,240 instructions to the Gentiles, welcoming them into the Christian faith, because it was a theological 111 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:55,240 thing that they had to figure out was salvation only for the Jews at that time. What do we do 112 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:01,400 with these people? But they listened intently to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit and said, 113 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:08,200 it seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit. And that shows me that they had a personal relationship 114 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,880 and revelation with the Holy Spirit. And we can have that today. So one of the main keys that I 115 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,560 love to teach people is to surrender, surrender completely to the Holy Spirit, just like people 116 00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:23,800 surrendered to Christ Jesus when they give their heart to him and they confess him as Lord and 117 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,560 repent of their sins and encounter God the Father. We can surrender to the Holy Spirit because there 118 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:36,280 is so much more in store for us. But if we're the successors of the disciples who had relationship 119 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,400 with the Holy Spirit, and if Acts chapter two verses 38 to 39 says that the gift of the Holy 120 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:47,080 Spirit is to all who call on the name of the Lord, to your children, your grandchildren, and all who 121 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:53,000 call on the name of the Lord, that promise is to us. So I love teaching people how to surrender to 122 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,480 the Holy Spirit and listen to him for guidance and wisdom. Let me try to help some of our more 123 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,520 reluctant brothers and sisters on this doctrine of the Holy Spirit. We know who a Father is because 124 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,560 we have an earthly Father. So we can understand a heavenly Father. We understand sonship and 125 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:12,920 brothers as we have in Jesus because we have got that plate out in our earthly realm. But there's 126 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,440 so much more mystery when it comes to the Holy Spirit. And I think people are concerned about 127 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,760 surrendering to him that that would mean that they lose control of themselves. Yeah, they don't need 128 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:31,240 to worry about that whatsoever because the Holy Spirit is a gentleman. The Holy Spirit is a person. 129 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:38,760 And when we surrender to him, we still have our mind, our will, our emotions. But when we surrender 130 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:48,040 to him, he imparts to us power to tell others about Jesus. And it's kind of similar to, you know, 131 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,760 there might be manifestations, but people receive the Holy Spirit in numerous ways, 132 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,280 whether it's like for me, when I'd encountered the Holy Spirit when I was 18 years old, I felt 133 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:05,640 love, I felt grace, I felt power, like electricity, and knowing that God is supernatural, and he's 134 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:12,200 omniscient, omnipotent, all powerful, all knowing, you know, when we encounter him, something can 135 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,720 happen. So there could be some feelings and things that take place when we encounter him or just a 136 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,720 deep peace. I know people that received a deep peace and they just knew that they knew like a deep 137 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,880 knowing within them that they encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time that they received 138 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,960 some power. For me, I needed this incredible experience that went on for a couple of hours and, 139 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,960 you know, waves of power and grace, like about three or four different waves of his power through 140 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:46,280 me, but I still could speak in English, I could still talk to the person who laid hands on me, 141 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:53,240 around me, things like that. So it empowers us, the Holy Spirit empowers us to be a better equipped 142 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:59,560 witness for Jesus. And, but I just want to encourage people, surrendering to him is probably one of 143 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:05,000 the most incredible things, most beautiful things that you could possibly do. And then it's an 144 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,560 adventure in the Holy Spirit. You will be launched into greater faith, you will be launched into 145 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:18,600 greater power and works for service. And it's all about Jesus. And it's not about us at that point, 146 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,680 you know, it's all about him. You know, Jesus even said, if you want the Holy Spirit, ask, 147 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:32,280 have the faith of a child and ask, the Holy Spirit is given to us just by simply asking, 148 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,360 just like when we gave our heart to Jesus, how did we do it? We asked him in our life, 149 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,480 we confessed him as a Lord, and we surrendered to him in that moment. 150 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,120 And so you're breaking out two points that I want to highlight. One is that the Holy Spirit, 151 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:51,000 he is part of God, as you already mentioned. So we were created by the Holy Spirit in part, 152 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:59,640 Father, Son, and Spirit, the one God created us. So God knows us, and he's not going to embarrass us. 153 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:05,080 He's not going to do something that we would reject right away. He knows us. So he's going to 154 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:11,080 present himself in such a way that we can receive it easily. That's the first point. The second point 155 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,920 is about the surrender. What I would really hope people are hearing from you, Jared, is that you're 156 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:23,240 not talking like a surrender, a complete surrender of the self. We're really talking about deferring 157 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,760 our own will to the will of the Holy Spirit with belief that he is superior. 158 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:34,920 Jared – Yeah, that is absolutely correct. And what I know is that when I surrendered to him, 159 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,880 it was the most incredible moment, one of the most incredible moments of my life. I was never 160 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:48,120 the same. I was changed. I was transformed. And I needed this. I needed that empowerment. 161 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,240 And I was preparing to go on a mission trip within a few months at that time. And I was just a young, 162 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:59,640 18-year-old kid who was only clean and sober, like two months, two and a half months at that point. 163 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:07,000 If I do the math correctly, going all in for Jesus, you know, and that is what I needed at that moment. 164 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000 And the Holy Spirit will touch people how they need to be touched. Different people react differently 165 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,760 to the Holy Spirit or when the Holy Spirit is poured out. And sometimes there's people that, 166 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,600 you know, they get their flesh involved. It's not on me to judge that situation. It's between them 167 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,960 and God. I need to stay focused on the Holy Spirit. So if anybody's ever been to one of those crazy 168 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,480 revival meetings, you know, or they think it's crazy, you know, during that time, just focus on 169 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:41,320 the Holy Spirit yourself. And, you know, he'll lead you, he'll guide you, and he'll reveal 170 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,080 scriptures to you. That's one of the main things that he loves to do is to reveal the scripture 171 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:50,120 to us. And if you have a question about something, ask him. He's got all the answers in the universe 172 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,280 for you to look at the scripture, to whisper in your ear what scripture to look up and to 173 00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:01,960 confirm what is taking place. Or even to show you that maybe there's some weird stuff going on that, 174 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,920 you know, but he'll lead you, he'll guide you, and he's the best guide and comforter that we have. 175 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:13,160 He does come in and he starts changing the trajectory of our lives. And you and I both, Pam, 176 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:19,400 know that he could get us in a moment and things could change for us. And honestly, it's for the 177 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:25,320 better. So what you're bringing out is what the Bible actually says, that the Holy Spirit is identified 178 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,840 as the one. Jesus said he would be the one who would lead us into all truths. Jesus said he would 179 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,200 counsel us and guide us. So you're making a great point that if we have questions, take it to the 180 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,480 Holy Spirit. That's pretty much his role in our life, in addition to the manifestations of God's 181 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:49,400 power. So what we are is we're given an in-filling of the Holy Spirit the moment we confess Jesus 182 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:55,560 Christ is Lord and Savior. That, the Bible says, is our deposit or our guarantee of our salvation. 183 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,760 And then beyond that, there's the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which can occur many times 184 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:06,520 in a person's life. Would you like to talk to that, please? Yeah, so that's a great question and a 185 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,840 great truth. So the moment we give our life to Jesus, the Holy Spirit fills us up. We receive 186 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:19,320 the Holy Spirit. And I know that people tend to kind of debate theology over the years, 187 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:26,040 if there is this baptism with the Holy Spirit. And then sometimes people have, they call it the 188 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:31,640 baptism of the Holy Spirit or the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The best way I could say this is that 189 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:37,640 when we receive Jesus, we are baptized in the Holy Spirit. We receive the Holy Spirit in that moment. 190 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:44,760 And the Coine Greek shows some distinguishing terms there, if you will, about in, in, and epi. 191 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:53,080 In, in, and epi. I don't want to get too caught up in the weeds there, but it is best translated as 192 00:17:53,080 --> 00:18:00,840 the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Our English puts in the word with in some places, but that's where 193 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,600 the Holy Spirit comes upon us. That's where the Holy Spirit fills us from head to toe. And we are 194 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,320 baptized with the Holy Spirit with the empowerment that, that, that they received on the day of 195 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,840 Pentecost and Acts chapter two. And, and sometimes there are different signs or, or evidences that 196 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,320 can take place during that encounter. And on the day of Pentecost, we see that they spoke in 197 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,520 languages and preached the gospel boldly and 3000 people were saved. And that's where in Acts 198 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:32,920 238 and 39, the Apostle Peter says that this promise is to you and your children, all who are far 199 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,000 off, all who call on the name of the Lord. So this baptism of the Holy Spirit, this empowerment to 200 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,480 witness for Jesus is promised to all of us. And that's the gift of the Holy Spirit as a person and 201 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:50,040 as the baptism with the Holy Spirit. But then there are many fillings of the Holy Spirit afterward. 202 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,960 And we're in Ephesians, it talks about do not get drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery, 203 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:01,480 but instead be filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, I don't want to harp on Bible translations, 204 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,680 because translations are great, but our English can only capture so much of the original language 205 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:12,120 in the original language of Quinek Greek that most of the New Testimony was written in, where it says, 206 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:19,320 be filled, it says be being filled in the best transliteration that we have. It's an ongoing, 207 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:26,200 continuous, daily encounter, daily relationship with him, where we are filled, whether it's by 208 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,000 faith or like I like to tell people, I like to pray until something happens. If I'm spending time in 209 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,160 the presence of God, I want to receive a feeling in that moment for the rest of the day. And I'll 210 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,000 pray in the spirit, I'll spend time with Jesus, I'll read the scripture, I'll be studying. 211 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000 So the best way I could say this to wrap this up is we are baptized in the spirit the moment we 212 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,320 give our life to Jesus. But then there's this baptism with the spirit or the baptism in the 213 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,520 Holy Spirit, which is the empowerment to be a witness as revealed in Acts chapter two, 214 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:02,840 and in other places in the book of Acts. And there are evidences that take place in that encounter, 215 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,680 that then we have these spiritual gifts given to us to be a better equipped witness for Jesus. 216 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,360 And then we have a daily ongoing personal relationship with him, and we're continuously 217 00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:18,680 filled, whether that's asking him to fill us by faith, or we have another encounter, another 218 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:25,880 feeling, or, you know, we, someone lays hands on us and we receive a power encounter in that moment. 219 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:32,280 But it's an ongoing lifelong feeling that we live and walk in as being spirit empowered. 220 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,120 All right. And I think it's important to bring out too, what you just touched on is there will 221 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:41,720 be times that the Holy Spirit will impart a special anointing or a special baptism of his power or 222 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:47,480 awareness, discernment, any number of things for a specific situation that we are in. 223 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:54,840 Yeah. And whether that's a gift of faith, whether that is the spiritual gift of tongues or the 224 00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,280 interpretation tongues or the prophetic, as I mentioned, there are evidences like for me, 225 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:06,520 when I received this, the baptism of the Holy Spirit on November 14th of 1998, I received it in 226 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:13,560 the way the Holy Spirit, I had to encounter him. And without a doubt knowing this was an encounter 227 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,920 with the Holy Spirit, this was life changing. And for me, I spoke in tongues. I received a 228 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:25,480 personal private prayer language that flowed out as an evidence in that moment. And for several 229 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,560 hours, I was doing this, but also speaking in English and thanking God in English and going 230 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,760 back and forth. And it was so incredible. The gentleman who laid hands on me, Sam, 231 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,480 he had told me, you know, now that this has happened, the enemy might try to say that you 232 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:45,080 made this up. I was like, no, in no way, you know, the end, I'm not going to accept that. But I also 233 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:51,400 knew there's without a doubt, this was Jesus. I encountered Jesus, who is the baptizer of the 234 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:57,160 Holy Spirit. And I will never be the same. And since that day, I prayed in tongues every single 235 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,280 day, even in combat zones, Pam, I would pray in tongues. Even when an IED went off in front of 236 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,400 us, I was in the second vehicle, every time that we'd encountered an improvised explosive device 237 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:13,480 in Afghanistan in 2009, I was praying in tongues. And my machine gunner, he was a pastor's kid from 238 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,120 the Assemblies of God. And he's like, go for it, chair, go for it. And my staff sergeant didn't 239 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:22,120 know what was going on, but he let me do it. You know, and there are moments where we need 240 00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:27,880 to pray. There are moments where we need the gift of faith. There are moments where we need 241 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:34,120 a prophetic word to encourage someone. And that's that's evidence of the Holy Spirit in our lives 242 00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:40,040 and filling us in that moment to give something that encourages, comforts, and edifies people. And 243 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,400 and then sometimes we're given boldness. I've recently seen someone who's had the boldness, 244 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:51,000 I believe, as an empowerment of the Holy Spirit, telling the Congress that they need to repent 245 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,000 of their sins and that God sees what they're doing and God sees everything. But without that 246 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,120 empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we are weak, but the Holy Spirit empowers us to lead people 247 00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:07,800 to Jesus and to reveal the truth to others. You know, I think one way that it's really helpful 248 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:16,120 for me to consider the Holy Spirit is to realize that he is the supernatural power of God. So when 249 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:21,160 I surrender to the Holy Spirit or when I seek the Holy Spirit, I'm like I said, deferring to the Holy 250 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:28,680 Spirit and I am wanting God's super to be imposed on my natural. Amen. Well, I think this has been 251 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:34,040 very helpful. You know, there is a doctrine that's been around in the Christian faith for a long time 252 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,560 that has made us impotent. And that's the doctrine that the gifts are not available for today. These 253 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:45,480 people are called cessationists because they believe the gifts have ceased with the last apostle 254 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,440 that had actually walked the earth with Jesus. And I don't know where they get that from, Pam. 255 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:56,040 I grew up in a church very similar to that belief in understanding, but God was speaking to me as a 256 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,040 13 year old kid through prophetic dreams. And I didn't know what to do with them until I was 257 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:07,080 about 18 years old and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit and start moving in missions and 258 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,080 ministry and things like that. But just to sum that up, what they quoted was 1 Corinthians 13, 259 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:20,360 the famous love chapter all about spiritual gifts, tongues, prophecy, faith. And in 1 Corinthians 13, 260 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:26,680 it says when perfection comes, then the imperfect disappears. So they quote this saying that maybe 261 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:32,040 this perfection is the scripture. But if we see the context of 1 Corinthians 13, 262 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:37,800 it says that we will see face to face when perfection comes. Now, when perfection comes, 263 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:46,200 that is referenced to when Jesus comes back, or when we pass into eternity, our time here is done 264 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,320 and complete, our mission is accomplished, and we see Jesus face to face in the context of 1 265 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:57,000 Corinthians, the whole book of 1 Corinthians, especially with 1 Corinthians 13, the context 266 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:03,000 is all the way in the very first chapter where Paul, in the first couple of paragraphs, he shows 267 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:09,080 that he will be talking about spiritual gifts and perfection when the Lord Jesus Christ returns. 268 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,120 So spiritual gifts have not ceased to this day and they are open and available for all of us 269 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:19,000 because the Holy Spirit loves to be poured out and give gifts as he will so that the body of 270 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,120 Christ will mature in Jesus. And we will see God's will done on earth as it is in heaven. 271 00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:31,240 So if people don't believe, they will not experience either salvation or the power of the Holy Spirit. 272 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,520 And a lot of times people will say, because I haven't experienced it, I don't believe it. 273 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,360 And they don't realize they're actually standing in their own way because we need to believe first 274 00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:46,760 and then we receive. Well, do we see Wi-Fi? Do we see radio frequencies? Those things are in the air 275 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:52,200 all around us. And I don't want to compare God, the Holy Spirit, to any of those, but he is more 276 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:59,320 real than this plane of existence. And even though we may not see him, we can relate to him, we can 277 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:05,480 have personal relationship with him. And by faith, we know that he is there. And throughout all the 278 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:12,520 scripture, it shows his existence. None of the books of the Bible, all 66 books, there are no 279 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:19,400 contradictions. And it all points to Jesus. It all points to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. 280 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,000 And it's a love letter from God to us. And I think that that's one of the things I really want people 281 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,120 to know is that it's about his love. He loves you so much. He wants you to have a personal 282 00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:33,400 relationship with him. All three of him, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, 283 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,920 and we can relate to him today. And we can, as you mentioned earlier, Pam, do greater things 284 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:45,400 than these in his name. The scripture says that you have the same spirit that raised Jesus from 285 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:51,880 the dead. That's a dead-raising power. Raise Jesus from the dead, that same spirit, the Holy Spirit 286 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:58,040 lives in you and me and to the listener. You know, Jared, both of us have spent many, many years in 287 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,440 ministry. I know that you and I are of the same heart. We can't imagine doing anything else. 288 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:08,520 And I've written a few books on the topic of faith and the gifts for today because I want people 289 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:15,640 to understand how we truly can live a transformed life through faith in Jesus Christ and see the 290 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:22,520 enemy actually be caused to retreat. And I know that's what God is calling his church to do today. 291 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,960 So in closing, would you share a little bit with my audience about this very time we're in 292 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:33,480 where God hears his people saying, God, where are you? And God is saying back to us, but my people, 293 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:39,800 where are you with the power I've given you? Oh, amen. God is with us. God is with you. 294 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,760 God is with me. God is with every person that will listen to this. He is present always. He will 295 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:51,400 never leave us nor forsake us. And in the days ahead, Pam, you and I both know that there's a 296 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:59,880 showdown coming just like Elijah on Mount Carmel. You know, there's a showdown for all of Israel to 297 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:06,840 see. And there might be a lockdown coming for some people, some things, some powers that be trying to 298 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:13,400 usurp our rights and, and, you know, who have the wrong narrative, the false narrative. I mean, 299 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:19,000 in the days ahead, because we have the Holy Spirit, there will be more boldness. We will need more 300 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:25,720 boldness to share the love and grace and truth of the gospel message, but also be exposing 301 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:32,520 the nefarious things that the powers that be are doing, knowing that Jesus is in control of all of 302 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:39,480 it. And he has you and me in his hands. And we need community in the days ahead. We need 303 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,480 prophetic communities. We need Holy Spirit and power communities of people taking care of each 304 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,520 other, seeing signs and wonders take place, seeing food multiply as we be generous on every occasion, 305 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:55,080 as we live the gospel message. And we saw this in 2020 and all of a sudden it's going to be coming 306 00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:01,480 back around, but there's a showdown coming and people in high places will be exposed and their 307 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,920 true colors will come out. And there's going to be a lot of pushback, but I don't want people to 308 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:14,120 fear anything. The scripture talks to us about fear not, fear not. We need to be in complete 309 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,640 surrender to the Holy Spirit and do what he's telling us to do. Like Pam, you've got this podcast, 310 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:25,640 you release your books, I do the same thing and all kinds of other things, preaching the gospel, 311 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,600 but we need that same faith that the apostles had in the Book of Acts. They went through some 312 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:37,480 crazier times, but they had the boldness and the power of the Holy Spirit around them, 313 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:44,600 and they faced martyrdom. Out of all the apostles, only one made it to old age. The rest of them 314 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,600 were martyred for their faith, but in the days ahead, we need the boldness of the Holy Spirit. 315 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:56,200 There's a showdown coming, but God is in control and we need to fear not, and we need to listen to 316 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,800 the voice of the Holy Spirit for ourselves to do what he has called and assigned us to do. 317 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,440 Each one of us. We're one body, many parts. I will definitely have all of your information in the 318 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,240 show notes for my listeners so they can find out about your Fireborn Ministries, your podcast, 319 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,800 and your new book that you have, The Baptism with the Holy Spirit. What you're doing with your wife 320 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:20,840 or shell is just such a help to the body of Christ. I want to thank you, and I look forward to having 321 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,720 you back. Well, thank you so very much, Pam. It's always an honor to be on your podcast and have 322 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:32,040 you on mind, and thank you so very much. Keep doing what God has called you to do. Many thousands 323 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,280 of lives will be changed and transformed through you and already have, but I think you're going to 324 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,440 see a multiplication in the coming days yourself. All for God's glory. 325 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,440 In quick review, it's imperative that we willingly surrender to the guidance of the Holy Spirit 326 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:58,680 with the conviction that as God, He knows what is best for us and He alone can empower us to 327 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,560 experience the victory Christ died to give us. If you would like more help in understanding 328 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,440 the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and about the accessibility of God's supernatural gifts for 329 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:13,800 today, I encourage you to get my book, Renew Your Hope, Remedy for Personal Breakthroughs. 330 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,400 If you purchase through my website and you use the promo code FTLB, which of course stands for 331 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,040 Faith to Live By, you'll receive a 20% discount and I'll even sign the book for you. 332 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:30,360 Jared explained we actually have three access points to the Holy Spirit. He used the Greek terms 333 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:36,760 n, ian, and epi. First, at the moment we place our faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit is given to 334 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:43,080 indwell us and to guide us into all truth. This is our deposit or guarantee of our salvation. 335 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,880 The evidence of this indwelling is often noted by speaking in tongues or what I like to call 336 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:54,040 our supernatural heavenly prayer language. The second way is in a given situation, according 337 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:59,960 to God's wisdom, the Holy Spirit's power manifests to accomplish a particular public purpose. 338 00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:04,440 This is a special empowering for various works of service, whether it be to speak in tongues in a 339 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:10,040 public setting and wait for the interpretation or to discern spirits, to produce healing, or any 340 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:15,320 other miraculous feat. The third way is in our private relationship as we seek a conscious 341 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,840 guidance from the Holy Spirit and choose to yield to Him throughout our day. As Jared said, 342 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:26,920 we are to be being filled, which is to say it is to be a continuous, present tense experience we 343 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:33,240 seek. In these days, on God's timeline, more than ever, we need to be rightly connected to the Holy 344 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:39,080 Spirit to experience all God wants for His children. God has been teaching us about the 345 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,960 importance of our words, the power of the tongue, and how life and death are caused by the words 346 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:50,200 we speak. On the Jewish calendar, this is the decade of the 80s, so using our mouths to decree 347 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:55,800 and declare God's will is highlighted. God spoke through Julie Green about this with her post of 348 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:03,800 September 8, 2023, and I loosely quote, Your enemies will not win. I will remove every chain the 349 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:10,520 enemy has had on you, but you have not given me the opportunity. God then speaks what He hears 350 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:16,680 us saying in response. But Lord, why wouldn't we want our enemies to be defeated? That's what 351 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:23,560 we've been praying. And God responds, Yes, that is what you've been crying out in prayer, but my 352 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:29,480 children, your words outside your prayer closet are exactly opposite of what you've prayed. The words 353 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:35,320 you speak outside of prayer reveal what you actually believe the most. They reflect what you believe 354 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:41,400 in your heart, and so you speak them. You need to be in my written word. I've repeated this time 355 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,920 and time again because some of you still aren't. It's important to renew your mind with my words, 356 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:53,400 to get these words down on the inside of you. Then believe my word and speak those words out of 357 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:59,480 your mouth. Believe and you will receive, not hope and wish and you will receive. Speak to those 358 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:05,800 problems, speak to those mountains, speak to those chains. You command them to be removed, 359 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:13,080 to come off. I've given you that power in my name. There's no more time to wait. There is no more 360 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:19,720 time to wait. It's time, my children, I'm here and I'm waiting for my children to take their place, 361 00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:27,080 to speak my words with boldness. I am faithful to perform my words, so speak them, decree them, 362 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:32,680 get them down into your heart, because in what is coming you will need my words. 363 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:39,720 Don't fear what I'm saying. No, don't fear these words. No, I am telling you this to prepare you, 364 00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:45,960 so you are strengthened. To the ones who will obey, great will be your reward. Great is the reward 365 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:53,080 for those who believe, those who remember who I am. I am your protector, deliverer, standby, 366 00:34:53,080 --> 00:35:01,800 advocate and judge over all the earth. I am bringing justice, so stand. Again, I say this day, 367 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:08,040 stand. I am coming. My glory is falling upon the earth for miracles, signs and wonders. 368 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:14,120 They are all coming. Don't lose hope now, because I am looking for those who have faith, 369 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:20,360 who will persevere, who won't give in and won't quit. I have something very special on the horizon 370 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:26,680 for you. Perceive the gifts I have. My glory that I am pouring out. The strength I am giving. 371 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:35,000 Great is your reward." End quote. I strongly encourage you to watch the video for this prophetic 372 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,240 word and the other three mentioned earlier. You'll find the links in the show notes. 373 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:46,040 Truly, we have been being graciously warned by God for quite some time, and though it seems like the 374 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:51,800 fulfillment of prophecy will never come, the day does come, and I believe with all of my being, 375 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:58,840 we are in the very start of the fulfillment of God's prophetic words. Tim Sheets prophesied 376 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:04,280 about the months of June, July and August being followed by intensified times in September and 377 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,760 October, which is entirely consistent with what I have also sensed from God. 378 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:15,960 Okay, that concludes today's podcast. Next week, I plan on having James Roguski back on to explain 379 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:22,120 the outcome of our efforts to rally the people of the world to put the World Health Organization 380 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:28,200 on notice that we do not give consent for them having control over our health care. 381 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,760 Remember the deadline for notifying them was September 20th, so make a point of listening 382 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:38,040 to next week's podcast to learn what more we must do to protect the autonomy of our health care. 383 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,440 There are three more important meetings planned by the United Nations and the World Health Organization 384 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,360 where your action is vital. Learn more about it next week. 385 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,520 If you like what you hear from me with this podcast, I highly recommend my book series, 386 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,160 my award-winning blog, Connecting with Me on Social Media, where I cover many more topics than I can 387 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:02,200 with this weekly podcast, and consider signing up for my certificate course in apologetics. 388 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,360 My aim with that course is to help people learn how to not only use apologetics to share truth 389 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:11,880 with others, but help Christian leaders incorporate apologetics in their respective ministries so 390 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:17,000 more Christians are confident about sharing their faith. Learn more about my online apologetics course 391 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,800 using the link in the show notes. Should you have a topic you want me to explore with this podcast, 392 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:27,640 simply let me know. Again, my email address is faithtoliveby at PamelaChristianMinistries.com. 393 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,360 If this podcast blesses you, and I certainly hope it does because you are the reason I work as hard 394 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:38,040 as I do, would you consider partnering with me in my vision? You know my whole goal is to help 395 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,920 people discover and live in life-giving truth and to experience all the hope truth provides. 396 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,720 You can and I hope you do personally share truth with others on your own, but have you 397 00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:53,320 thought about how many more people you could reach by partnering with me? Help me grow this podcast, 398 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,400 get my books into more people's hands, and talk me up to others to get me more speaking 399 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:03,560 engagements and increase this podcast's audience then together as partners. We will be making a 400 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,600 much greater impact than we can on our own. There are several ways you can choose to partner with 401 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,880 me. Certainly telling others about me and my ministry along with prayer is top of the list. 402 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,120 There is nothing as powerful as personal endorsements or word-of-mouth referrals. 403 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,640 Buying my books and products is another way. All of my books in the Faith to Live by series 404 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,960 were written to help people better understand the Christian faith and how to successfully 405 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:33,720 live it out. The first book is Examine Your Faith Finding Truth in a World of Lies. The second, 406 00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:39,720 Renew Your Hope, Remedy for Personal Breakthroughs, and the third is Revive Your Life. Rest for 407 00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:44,280 Your Anxious Heart. There are two more in this series about the end times. The first one is 408 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,080 Prepare for the Harvest-Confidence in God's End-to-Time Promises, written for Christians to 409 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:55,000 properly understand God's plans for His people during the end times. And the other is Prepare 410 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,400 for the Harvest, God's challenge to the Church today. It's written to help Church leadership 411 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:05,640 be ready in every way possible for the long prophesied Billion Soul Harvest. Visit my website 412 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:11,800 and get any or all of these books with a deep 20% discount by using the word Truth at checkout. 413 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:16,600 I also welcome donations, but for now they're not tax-deductible. However, I'm working on that, 414 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,840 so listen in the weeks to come and you'll learn more about how you can support me through donations 415 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,400 that will be tax-deductible. Supporting the businesses I feature as affiliate partners is 416 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,880 yet another way you can partner with me. I seek to find affiliates who can offer you goods and 417 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:35,880 services you need, and I have some very exciting Money Saving America first goods and services 418 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,920 you will not want to miss out on. Newest to my affiliate list is a company I'm exceedingly 419 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,440 excited to introduce you to. If you're like me, you're tired of paying very high prices for cable 420 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:51,640 television and you've been waiting to find just the right company who shares your values to replace 421 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:58,040 your cable service. Well, I found it. It's called QStreaming. They provide over 3,000 channels, 422 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:04,280 including live TV, local stations from across the United States, US networks, sports networks, 423 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,800 movie networks, and pay-per-view events. You get all that for about half of what most cable 424 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,680 companies charge and there's no contract, just a monthly subscription. Using the link in the show 425 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:19,640 notes, go and look around and sign up to start viewing the programs you like for a fraction 426 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,440 of what you're paying now. All while supporting a Christian-owned and operated company that 427 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,720 exclusively uses word-of-mouth advertising so as not to spend money on commercial advertisement 428 00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:34,760 that supports the Woke movement. And don't forget, when it comes to your health, I also have 429 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,360 affiliate partners Mfinity and Dr. Zalinko's ZStack Supplement. You can learn more on the 430 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:45,480 Affiliate's page and the information in the show notes. Also, there's Operation Tomahawk, 431 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,720 which Scott McKay started. It's a subscription program that allows you to get your household 432 00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:54,760 and personal care items from a company that is American-owned and operated because we don't 433 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,640 want to support the deep state. And regarding your finances, I want you to know about Dr. 434 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,840 Kirk Elliott. He's a personal wealth advisor who offers free consultations to understand your 435 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:10,040 financial goals and help you reach them. When you purchase my books, products, or services, 436 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,760 or products and services from any of my affiliates, you get something you want and at the same time, 437 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:20,600 you support me. It's truly a benefit for all of us. So why not shop for yourself or to get gifts 438 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:26,440 for friends and family? Your support is greatly appreciated. All affiliate partners' information 439 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,840 is in the show notes and I have a dedicated web page where you can learn even more and you can 440 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,480 hear the interviews I've conducted in the vetting process. Of course, you need to do your own due 441 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,960 diligence to make your own decisions what to purchase. But to help you, I am researching 442 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,960 companies and interviewing the representatives and using their products or services myself 443 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,680 to provide you a personal recommendation. There's a link to all the interviews in the show notes. 444 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,960 I sincerely hope you appreciate my dedication to you through these podcasts.
