Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith to Live By.
I'm Pam Christian, your host, each and every week with this podcast, where I seek to help
us explore current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective.
So we, as God's children, know how He wants us to respond.
You've probably noticed a tremendous shift as of late.
And as I've explored in the past couple of weeks with Eric Burton, my guest from Groundbreakers
International, beyond what the trusted prophets have said, we have evidence from the Hebrew
calendar to expect the time since August 17th when we entered the Hebrew month of Elul.
We have stepped into an intensifying time leading up to what Eric called a new era that
Johnny Inlow and others have called the Kingdom Era.
The Jewish New Year began September 15th at sunset and the 10 days from Rosh Hashanah,
the New Year to Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, that begins at sunset
on September 24th are, in my personal expectation, extremely important days immediately preceding
the visible intervention of God in the affairs of humanity all around the globe.
And world events are radically shifting in what seems to some to be a sudden happening
when in reality, as we've explored since 2020 with this podcast, world events have always
been carefully under God's control.
As I've shared in the past, the great reset, the self-appointed elite want, is, in reality,
God's great setup.
As God said through Julie Green in her September 14th post, the enemy is walking into every
trap God has set before them.
Similarly, Hank Kuhneman said on Flashpoint recently, we can expect to see evidence of
a great turnaround around the time of the Jewish New Year. What looks hopeless for us, not
unlike the Hebrews experienced when pushed up against the Red Sea, will provide opportunity
for God to intervene on behalf of his people. And this will go down as one of the greatest
acts of God in modern history, as God intervenes to bring justice.
And we're even hearing about it from mainstream media who will soon be forced to tell the
whole truth on everything they have been lying and misleading the people about.
For example, it seems the puppet masters of Joe Biden have turned on him. And the protection
that Hunter Biden has received over his criminal charges seems to be being lifted.
Also, on September 14th, Hunter was indicted on federal gun charges. We also have video
evidence about the Biden crime family that is expected to surface by October 31st. This
video is expected to prevent Joe from running for president.
With this, there's talk about Michelle Obama running on the Democratic ticket. At the same
time, it seems the truth about Barack Obama's lies and deception are being revealed. Did
you see the Tucker Carlson interviews concerning Barack Obama in the past few weeks? And Speaker
of the House Kevin McCarthy was seriously challenged by Congressman Matt Gaetz for his failure
of keeping his agreement that got him the position as Speaker in the first place. This
is just a very small sampling of what is rapidly being brought out to finally be exposed and
properly dealt with. All of this is because of the heightened spiritual battle taking
place in our midst. In fact, if you have been suffering radically different trials and difficulties
lately, it's because of what is taking place in the spiritual realm. My immediate family
and nearly everyone I know is suffering most unexpected circumstances that have come at
a time when we are especially weary because of everything we've endured since 2020.
Because now more than ever we need to experience the power of the Holy Spirit, I've scheduled
Jared Lasky as my guest today to help us better understand the vital connection we must have
with God the Holy Spirit. In these days, perhaps more than any other days in the New Testament
history, our need for a genuine connection with the Holy Spirit is the greatest. Jesus
told his disciples as recorded in John and therefore provides instruction for us that
his departure would mean we would now have access to God in the person of the Holy Spirit
who indwells every believer in Jesus, who is to guide us into all truth and provide us
with wisdom and counsel. The Church at large has not done a sufficient job discipling us
about the Holy Spirit, so join me in welcoming Jared Lasky to the program. Jared Lasky and
his wife, Rachelle, co-founded Fireborne Ministries to teach believers how to live a daily spirit
empowered life. You can find their resources and learn more about their ministry at firebornministries.com.
They also have courses such as entry-level prophecy, The Last Days, The Baptism with
the Holy Spirit, and more on CharismaCourses.com. And the popular podcast, Adventures in the
Spirit, is available on the Charisma Podcast Network or anywhere you listen to podcasts.
Here is my interview with Jared about the Holy Spirit and how we must make sure we have
an unhindered relationship with him. May we use these days as God has instructed his
people between Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement,
to position ourselves to be blessed without restriction in this new year, this new era.
Jared Lasky, I have really been looking forward to having you on my podcast, especially knowing
that this was going to run right after my interview with Eric Burton. Eric Burton and
I have been exploring the Hebrew calendar, which as of September 15, 2023, transitioned
us into the year 5784 on the Hebrew calendar. And what we've been learning is that God has
been positioning the church, or maybe re-it positioning the church would be a better way
to say it, so that we understand what he is saying and we decree and we declare it to
see his kingdom well done on earth as it is in heaven. And one of the things that's vital
for that to happen is for God's people to truly know and respond to the Holy Spirit.
So that's what I want to talk with you about today is how people can actually know the
Holy Spirit. A lot of people know about him, but I don't think as many people personally
know him. What do you say to that?
Yeah, I think that's a great question. I think people have a tendency to know God the Father
and God the Son, but ignore the Holy Spirit because there's been like this mystery about
him through the ages or kind of ignoring or even some people don't like to see some of
the manifestations of the Holy Spirit or they might have an aversion to it and that might
be because of their upbringing or theological training or even just personal experiences
that they may have had in some places. But the Holy Spirit was present at creation. He
was hovering over the faces of the deep from Genesis 1 verses 1 through 2. He's part of
the Godhead, the triunity of God with God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit
in community with them as a family. And we have the distinct privilege and honor to know
him and not just Jesus, not just God the Father, but have fellowship with the Holy Spirit and
have a personal encounter with him and know him as a person because he has a will and
emotions and feelings, a personality and he loves to glorify Jesus. So really, I just
want people to know that he loves them. He's with them always when we receive Jesus. We
receive the Holy Spirit in that moment, but there's so much more available in the spirit
empowered life as we walk with the Holy Spirit as we spend time with Jesus and God the Father.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was the verse in John 14 verses 12 to 14 where Jesus says
that we would do even greater works than he did. That was actually my frustration. I mean,
I was praying to the Lord saying, why aren't we seeing more of your power done on earth
as it is in heaven? And I really clearly heard the Lord say it was for lack of knowledge.
And specifically as I've come to press in on that, it's lack of knowledge about the
Holy Spirit. I think we all have a pretty easy time understanding, as you mentioned,
God the Father, even known as Abba, which would be like Daddy, that we can be that close, that
personal with our Father, our Heavenly Father. We know about Jesus, our Redeemer, as our
brother, the firstborn of many, and we relate to him as our champion. But somewhere along the line,
the doctrines about the Holy Spirit have been blurred. And as a result, the church has been
impotent. And I think that we're at a time right now where God's saying no more. He wants that to
change. Yeah, the Holy Spirit is personable. The Holy Spirit is relatable. The Holy Spirit is a
person. As I'd said just a moment ago, he has a personality. And really, the Apostle Paul talks
about having fellowship with the Holy Spirit. And even in the book of Acts, during this,
one of the great controversies that they had to address in the day about, can we eat meat?
Can we not eat meat? What about all the unclean things? And what about these Gentiles coming
to Christ Jesus? Are they saved? How do we address this? What do we say? They said something very
incredible to me. They wrote a letter back saying, it seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit.
To the Holy Spirit, they were surrendered. And they had this fellowship and friendship with
the Holy Spirit in the early church that we need to have today where they personally know the Holy
Spirit. And this is his guidance and direction. And from there, they were able to issue these
instructions to the Gentiles, welcoming them into the Christian faith, because it was a theological
thing that they had to figure out was salvation only for the Jews at that time. What do we do
with these people? But they listened intently to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit and said,
it seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit. And that shows me that they had a personal relationship
and revelation with the Holy Spirit. And we can have that today. So one of the main keys that I
love to teach people is to surrender, surrender completely to the Holy Spirit, just like people
surrendered to Christ Jesus when they give their heart to him and they confess him as Lord and
repent of their sins and encounter God the Father. We can surrender to the Holy Spirit because there
is so much more in store for us. But if we're the successors of the disciples who had relationship
with the Holy Spirit, and if Acts chapter two verses 38 to 39 says that the gift of the Holy
Spirit is to all who call on the name of the Lord, to your children, your grandchildren, and all who
call on the name of the Lord, that promise is to us. So I love teaching people how to surrender to
the Holy Spirit and listen to him for guidance and wisdom. Let me try to help some of our more
reluctant brothers and sisters on this doctrine of the Holy Spirit. We know who a Father is because
we have an earthly Father. So we can understand a heavenly Father. We understand sonship and
brothers as we have in Jesus because we have got that plate out in our earthly realm. But there's
so much more mystery when it comes to the Holy Spirit. And I think people are concerned about
surrendering to him that that would mean that they lose control of themselves. Yeah, they don't need
to worry about that whatsoever because the Holy Spirit is a gentleman. The Holy Spirit is a person.
And when we surrender to him, we still have our mind, our will, our emotions. But when we surrender
to him, he imparts to us power to tell others about Jesus. And it's kind of similar to, you know,
there might be manifestations, but people receive the Holy Spirit in numerous ways,
whether it's like for me, when I'd encountered the Holy Spirit when I was 18 years old, I felt
love, I felt grace, I felt power, like electricity, and knowing that God is supernatural, and he's
omniscient, omnipotent, all powerful, all knowing, you know, when we encounter him, something can
happen. So there could be some feelings and things that take place when we encounter him or just a
deep peace. I know people that received a deep peace and they just knew that they knew like a deep
knowing within them that they encountered the Holy Spirit for the first time that they received
some power. For me, I needed this incredible experience that went on for a couple of hours and,
you know, waves of power and grace, like about three or four different waves of his power through
me, but I still could speak in English, I could still talk to the person who laid hands on me,
around me, things like that. So it empowers us, the Holy Spirit empowers us to be a better equipped
witness for Jesus. And, but I just want to encourage people, surrendering to him is probably one of
the most incredible things, most beautiful things that you could possibly do. And then it's an
adventure in the Holy Spirit. You will be launched into greater faith, you will be launched into
greater power and works for service. And it's all about Jesus. And it's not about us at that point,
you know, it's all about him. You know, Jesus even said, if you want the Holy Spirit, ask,
have the faith of a child and ask, the Holy Spirit is given to us just by simply asking,
just like when we gave our heart to Jesus, how did we do it? We asked him in our life,
we confessed him as a Lord, and we surrendered to him in that moment.
And so you're breaking out two points that I want to highlight. One is that the Holy Spirit,
he is part of God, as you already mentioned. So we were created by the Holy Spirit in part,
Father, Son, and Spirit, the one God created us. So God knows us, and he's not going to embarrass us.
He's not going to do something that we would reject right away. He knows us. So he's going to
present himself in such a way that we can receive it easily. That's the first point. The second point
is about the surrender. What I would really hope people are hearing from you, Jared, is that you're
not talking like a surrender, a complete surrender of the self. We're really talking about deferring
our own will to the will of the Holy Spirit with belief that he is superior.
Jared – Yeah, that is absolutely correct. And what I know is that when I surrendered to him,
it was the most incredible moment, one of the most incredible moments of my life. I was never
the same. I was changed. I was transformed. And I needed this. I needed that empowerment.
And I was preparing to go on a mission trip within a few months at that time. And I was just a young,
18-year-old kid who was only clean and sober, like two months, two and a half months at that point.
If I do the math correctly, going all in for Jesus, you know, and that is what I needed at that moment.
And the Holy Spirit will touch people how they need to be touched. Different people react differently
to the Holy Spirit or when the Holy Spirit is poured out. And sometimes there's people that,
you know, they get their flesh involved. It's not on me to judge that situation. It's between them
and God. I need to stay focused on the Holy Spirit. So if anybody's ever been to one of those crazy
revival meetings, you know, or they think it's crazy, you know, during that time, just focus on
the Holy Spirit yourself. And, you know, he'll lead you, he'll guide you, and he'll reveal
scriptures to you. That's one of the main things that he loves to do is to reveal the scripture
to us. And if you have a question about something, ask him. He's got all the answers in the universe
for you to look at the scripture, to whisper in your ear what scripture to look up and to
confirm what is taking place. Or even to show you that maybe there's some weird stuff going on that,
you know, but he'll lead you, he'll guide you, and he's the best guide and comforter that we have.
He does come in and he starts changing the trajectory of our lives. And you and I both, Pam,
know that he could get us in a moment and things could change for us. And honestly, it's for the
better. So what you're bringing out is what the Bible actually says, that the Holy Spirit is identified
as the one. Jesus said he would be the one who would lead us into all truths. Jesus said he would
counsel us and guide us. So you're making a great point that if we have questions, take it to the
Holy Spirit. That's pretty much his role in our life, in addition to the manifestations of God's
power. So what we are is we're given an in-filling of the Holy Spirit the moment we confess Jesus
Christ is Lord and Savior. That, the Bible says, is our deposit or our guarantee of our salvation.
And then beyond that, there's the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which can occur many times
in a person's life. Would you like to talk to that, please? Yeah, so that's a great question and a
great truth. So the moment we give our life to Jesus, the Holy Spirit fills us up. We receive
the Holy Spirit. And I know that people tend to kind of debate theology over the years,
if there is this baptism with the Holy Spirit. And then sometimes people have, they call it the
baptism of the Holy Spirit or the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The best way I could say this is that
when we receive Jesus, we are baptized in the Holy Spirit. We receive the Holy Spirit in that moment.
And the Coine Greek shows some distinguishing terms there, if you will, about in, in, and epi.
In, in, and epi. I don't want to get too caught up in the weeds there, but it is best translated as
the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Our English puts in the word with in some places, but that's where
the Holy Spirit comes upon us. That's where the Holy Spirit fills us from head to toe. And we are
baptized with the Holy Spirit with the empowerment that, that, that they received on the day of
Pentecost and Acts chapter two. And, and sometimes there are different signs or, or evidences that
can take place during that encounter. And on the day of Pentecost, we see that they spoke in
languages and preached the gospel boldly and 3000 people were saved. And that's where in Acts
238 and 39, the Apostle Peter says that this promise is to you and your children, all who are far
off, all who call on the name of the Lord. So this baptism of the Holy Spirit, this empowerment to
witness for Jesus is promised to all of us. And that's the gift of the Holy Spirit as a person and
as the baptism with the Holy Spirit. But then there are many fillings of the Holy Spirit afterward.
And we're in Ephesians, it talks about do not get drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery,
but instead be filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, I don't want to harp on Bible translations,
because translations are great, but our English can only capture so much of the original language
in the original language of Quinek Greek that most of the New Testimony was written in, where it says,
be filled, it says be being filled in the best transliteration that we have. It's an ongoing,
continuous, daily encounter, daily relationship with him, where we are filled, whether it's by
faith or like I like to tell people, I like to pray until something happens. If I'm spending time in
the presence of God, I want to receive a feeling in that moment for the rest of the day. And I'll
pray in the spirit, I'll spend time with Jesus, I'll read the scripture, I'll be studying.
So the best way I could say this to wrap this up is we are baptized in the spirit the moment we
give our life to Jesus. But then there's this baptism with the spirit or the baptism in the
Holy Spirit, which is the empowerment to be a witness as revealed in Acts chapter two,
and in other places in the book of Acts. And there are evidences that take place in that encounter,
that then we have these spiritual gifts given to us to be a better equipped witness for Jesus.
And then we have a daily ongoing personal relationship with him, and we're continuously
filled, whether that's asking him to fill us by faith, or we have another encounter, another
feeling, or, you know, we, someone lays hands on us and we receive a power encounter in that moment.
But it's an ongoing lifelong feeling that we live and walk in as being spirit empowered.
All right. And I think it's important to bring out too, what you just touched on is there will
be times that the Holy Spirit will impart a special anointing or a special baptism of his power or
awareness, discernment, any number of things for a specific situation that we are in.
Yeah. And whether that's a gift of faith, whether that is the spiritual gift of tongues or the
interpretation tongues or the prophetic, as I mentioned, there are evidences like for me,
when I received this, the baptism of the Holy Spirit on November 14th of 1998, I received it in
the way the Holy Spirit, I had to encounter him. And without a doubt knowing this was an encounter
with the Holy Spirit, this was life changing. And for me, I spoke in tongues. I received a
personal private prayer language that flowed out as an evidence in that moment. And for several
hours, I was doing this, but also speaking in English and thanking God in English and going
back and forth. And it was so incredible. The gentleman who laid hands on me, Sam,
he had told me, you know, now that this has happened, the enemy might try to say that you
made this up. I was like, no, in no way, you know, the end, I'm not going to accept that. But I also
knew there's without a doubt, this was Jesus. I encountered Jesus, who is the baptizer of the
Holy Spirit. And I will never be the same. And since that day, I prayed in tongues every single
day, even in combat zones, Pam, I would pray in tongues. Even when an IED went off in front of
us, I was in the second vehicle, every time that we'd encountered an improvised explosive device
in Afghanistan in 2009, I was praying in tongues. And my machine gunner, he was a pastor's kid from
the Assemblies of God. And he's like, go for it, chair, go for it. And my staff sergeant didn't
know what was going on, but he let me do it. You know, and there are moments where we need
to pray. There are moments where we need the gift of faith. There are moments where we need
a prophetic word to encourage someone. And that's that's evidence of the Holy Spirit in our lives
and filling us in that moment to give something that encourages, comforts, and edifies people. And
and then sometimes we're given boldness. I've recently seen someone who's had the boldness,
I believe, as an empowerment of the Holy Spirit, telling the Congress that they need to repent
of their sins and that God sees what they're doing and God sees everything. But without that
empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we are weak, but the Holy Spirit empowers us to lead people
to Jesus and to reveal the truth to others. You know, I think one way that it's really helpful
for me to consider the Holy Spirit is to realize that he is the supernatural power of God. So when
I surrender to the Holy Spirit or when I seek the Holy Spirit, I'm like I said, deferring to the Holy
Spirit and I am wanting God's super to be imposed on my natural. Amen. Well, I think this has been
very helpful. You know, there is a doctrine that's been around in the Christian faith for a long time
that has made us impotent. And that's the doctrine that the gifts are not available for today. These
people are called cessationists because they believe the gifts have ceased with the last apostle
that had actually walked the earth with Jesus. And I don't know where they get that from, Pam.
I grew up in a church very similar to that belief in understanding, but God was speaking to me as a
13 year old kid through prophetic dreams. And I didn't know what to do with them until I was
about 18 years old and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit and start moving in missions and
ministry and things like that. But just to sum that up, what they quoted was 1 Corinthians 13,
the famous love chapter all about spiritual gifts, tongues, prophecy, faith. And in 1 Corinthians 13,
it says when perfection comes, then the imperfect disappears. So they quote this saying that maybe
this perfection is the scripture. But if we see the context of 1 Corinthians 13,
it says that we will see face to face when perfection comes. Now, when perfection comes,
that is referenced to when Jesus comes back, or when we pass into eternity, our time here is done
and complete, our mission is accomplished, and we see Jesus face to face in the context of 1
Corinthians, the whole book of 1 Corinthians, especially with 1 Corinthians 13, the context
is all the way in the very first chapter where Paul, in the first couple of paragraphs, he shows
that he will be talking about spiritual gifts and perfection when the Lord Jesus Christ returns.
So spiritual gifts have not ceased to this day and they are open and available for all of us
because the Holy Spirit loves to be poured out and give gifts as he will so that the body of
Christ will mature in Jesus. And we will see God's will done on earth as it is in heaven.
So if people don't believe, they will not experience either salvation or the power of the Holy Spirit.
And a lot of times people will say, because I haven't experienced it, I don't believe it.
And they don't realize they're actually standing in their own way because we need to believe first
and then we receive. Well, do we see Wi-Fi? Do we see radio frequencies? Those things are in the air
all around us. And I don't want to compare God, the Holy Spirit, to any of those, but he is more
real than this plane of existence. And even though we may not see him, we can relate to him, we can
have personal relationship with him. And by faith, we know that he is there. And throughout all the
scripture, it shows his existence. None of the books of the Bible, all 66 books, there are no
contradictions. And it all points to Jesus. It all points to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
And it's a love letter from God to us. And I think that that's one of the things I really want people
to know is that it's about his love. He loves you so much. He wants you to have a personal
relationship with him. All three of him, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit,
and we can relate to him today. And we can, as you mentioned earlier, Pam, do greater things
than these in his name. The scripture says that you have the same spirit that raised Jesus from
the dead. That's a dead-raising power. Raise Jesus from the dead, that same spirit, the Holy Spirit
lives in you and me and to the listener. You know, Jared, both of us have spent many, many years in
ministry. I know that you and I are of the same heart. We can't imagine doing anything else.
And I've written a few books on the topic of faith and the gifts for today because I want people
to understand how we truly can live a transformed life through faith in Jesus Christ and see the
enemy actually be caused to retreat. And I know that's what God is calling his church to do today.
So in closing, would you share a little bit with my audience about this very time we're in
where God hears his people saying, God, where are you? And God is saying back to us, but my people,
where are you with the power I've given you? Oh, amen. God is with us. God is with you.
God is with me. God is with every person that will listen to this. He is present always. He will
never leave us nor forsake us. And in the days ahead, Pam, you and I both know that there's a
showdown coming just like Elijah on Mount Carmel. You know, there's a showdown for all of Israel to
see. And there might be a lockdown coming for some people, some things, some powers that be trying to
usurp our rights and, and, you know, who have the wrong narrative, the false narrative. I mean,
in the days ahead, because we have the Holy Spirit, there will be more boldness. We will need more
boldness to share the love and grace and truth of the gospel message, but also be exposing
the nefarious things that the powers that be are doing, knowing that Jesus is in control of all of
it. And he has you and me in his hands. And we need community in the days ahead. We need
prophetic communities. We need Holy Spirit and power communities of people taking care of each
other, seeing signs and wonders take place, seeing food multiply as we be generous on every occasion,
as we live the gospel message. And we saw this in 2020 and all of a sudden it's going to be coming
back around, but there's a showdown coming and people in high places will be exposed and their
true colors will come out. And there's going to be a lot of pushback, but I don't want people to
fear anything. The scripture talks to us about fear not, fear not. We need to be in complete
surrender to the Holy Spirit and do what he's telling us to do. Like Pam, you've got this podcast,
you release your books, I do the same thing and all kinds of other things, preaching the gospel,
but we need that same faith that the apostles had in the Book of Acts. They went through some
crazier times, but they had the boldness and the power of the Holy Spirit around them,
and they faced martyrdom. Out of all the apostles, only one made it to old age. The rest of them
were martyred for their faith, but in the days ahead, we need the boldness of the Holy Spirit.
There's a showdown coming, but God is in control and we need to fear not, and we need to listen to
the voice of the Holy Spirit for ourselves to do what he has called and assigned us to do.
Each one of us. We're one body, many parts. I will definitely have all of your information in the
show notes for my listeners so they can find out about your Fireborn Ministries, your podcast,
and your new book that you have, The Baptism with the Holy Spirit. What you're doing with your wife
or shell is just such a help to the body of Christ. I want to thank you, and I look forward to having
you back. Well, thank you so very much, Pam. It's always an honor to be on your podcast and have
you on mind, and thank you so very much. Keep doing what God has called you to do. Many thousands
of lives will be changed and transformed through you and already have, but I think you're going to
see a multiplication in the coming days yourself. All for God's glory.
In quick review, it's imperative that we willingly surrender to the guidance of the Holy Spirit
with the conviction that as God, He knows what is best for us and He alone can empower us to
experience the victory Christ died to give us. If you would like more help in understanding
the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and about the accessibility of God's supernatural gifts for
today, I encourage you to get my book, Renew Your Hope, Remedy for Personal Breakthroughs.

Jared explained we actually have three access points to the Holy Spirit. He used the Greek terms
n, ian, and epi. First, at the moment we place our faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit is given to
indwell us and to guide us into all truth. This is our deposit or guarantee of our salvation.
The evidence of this indwelling is often noted by speaking in tongues or what I like to call
our supernatural heavenly prayer language. The second way is in a given situation, according
to God's wisdom, the Holy Spirit's power manifests to accomplish a particular public purpose.
This is a special empowering for various works of service, whether it be to speak in tongues in a
public setting and wait for the interpretation or to discern spirits, to produce healing, or any
other miraculous feat. The third way is in our private relationship as we seek a conscious
guidance from the Holy Spirit and choose to yield to Him throughout our day. As Jared said,
we are to be being filled, which is to say it is to be a continuous, present tense experience we
seek. In these days, on God's timeline, more than ever, we need to be rightly connected to the Holy
Spirit to experience all God wants for His children. God has been teaching us about the
importance of our words, the power of the tongue, and how life and death are caused by the words
we speak. On the Jewish calendar, this is the decade of the 80s, so using our mouths to decree
and declare God's will is highlighted. God spoke through Julie Green about this with her post of
September 8, 2023, and I loosely quote, Your enemies will not win. I will remove every chain the
enemy has had on you, but you have not given me the opportunity. God then speaks what He hears
us saying in response. But Lord, why wouldn't we want our enemies to be defeated? That's what
we've been praying. And God responds, Yes, that is what you've been crying out in prayer, but my
children, your words outside your prayer closet are exactly opposite of what you've prayed. The words
you speak outside of prayer reveal what you actually believe the most. They reflect what you believe
in your heart, and so you speak them. You need to be in my written word. I've repeated this time
and time again because some of you still aren't. It's important to renew your mind with my words,
to get these words down on the inside of you. Then believe my word and speak those words out of
your mouth. Believe and you will receive, not hope and wish and you will receive. Speak to those
problems, speak to those mountains, speak to those chains. You command them to be removed,
to come off. I've given you that power in my name. There's no more time to wait. There is no more
time to wait. It's time, my children, I'm here and I'm waiting for my children to take their place,
to speak my words with boldness. I am faithful to perform my words, so speak them, decree them,
get them down into your heart, because in what is coming you will need my words.
Don't fear what I'm saying. No, don't fear these words. No, I am telling you this to prepare you,
so you are strengthened. To the ones who will obey, great will be your reward. Great is the reward
for those who believe, those who remember who I am. I am your protector, deliverer, standby,
advocate and judge over all the earth. I am bringing justice, so stand. Again, I say this day,
stand. I am coming. My glory is falling upon the earth for miracles, signs and wonders.
They are all coming. Don't lose hope now, because I am looking for those who have faith,
who will persevere, who won't give in and won't quit. I have something very special on the horizon
for you. Perceive the gifts I have. My glory that I am pouring out. The strength I am giving.
Great is your reward." End quote. I strongly encourage you to watch the video for this prophetic
word and the other three mentioned earlier. You'll find the links in the show notes.
Truly, we have been being graciously warned by God for quite some time, and though it seems like the
fulfillment of prophecy will never come, the day does come, and I believe with all of my being,
we are in the very start of the fulfillment of God's prophetic words. Tim Sheets prophesied
about the months of June, July and August being followed by intensified times in September and
October, which is entirely consistent with what I have also sensed from God.
Okay, that concludes today's podcast. Next week, I plan on having James Roguski back on to explain
the outcome of our efforts to rally the people of the world to put the World Health Organization
on notice that we do not give consent for them having control over our health care.
Remember the deadline for notifying them was September 20th, so make a point of listening
to next week's podcast to learn what more we must do to protect the autonomy of our health care.
There are three more important meetings planned by the United Nations and the World Health Organization
where your action is vital. Learn more about it next week.
If you like what you hear from me with this podcast, I highly recommend my book series,
my award-winning blog, Connecting with Me on Social Media, where I cover many more topics than I can
with this weekly podcast, and consider signing up for my certificate course in apologetics.
My aim with that course is to help people learn how to not only use apologetics to share truth
with others, but help Christian leaders incorporate apologetics in their respective ministries so
more Christians are confident about sharing their faith. Learn more about my online apologetics course
using the link in the show notes. Should you have a topic you want me to explore with this podcast,
simply let me know. Again, my email address is faithtoliveby at PamelaChristianMinistries.com.
If this podcast blesses you, and I certainly hope it does because you are the reason I work as hard
as I do, would you consider partnering with me in my vision? You know my whole goal is to help
people discover and live in life-giving truth and to experience all the hope truth provides.
You can and I hope you do personally share truth with others on your own, but have you
thought about how many more people you could reach by partnering with me? Help me grow this podcast,
get my books into more people's hands, and talk me up to others to get me more speaking
engagements and increase this podcast's audience then together as partners. We will be making a
much greater impact than we can on our own. There are several ways you can choose to partner with
me. Certainly telling others about me and my ministry along with prayer is top of the list.
There is nothing as powerful as personal endorsements or word-of-mouth referrals.
Buying my books and products is another way. All of my books in the Faith to Live by series
were written to help people better understand the Christian faith and how to successfully
live it out. The first book is Examine Your Faith Finding Truth in a World of Lies. The second,
Renew Your Hope, Remedy for Personal Breakthroughs, and the third is Revive Your Life. Rest for
Your Anxious Heart. There are two more in this series about the end times. The first one is
Prepare for the Harvest-Confidence in God's End-to-Time Promises, written for Christians to
properly understand God's plans for His people during the end times. And the other is Prepare
for the Harvest, God's challenge to the Church today. It's written to help Church leadership
be ready in every way possible for the long prophesied Billion Soul Harvest. Visit my website
and get any or all of these books with a deep 20% discount by using the word Truth at checkout.
I also welcome donations, but for now they're not tax-deductible. However, I'm working on that,
so listen in the weeks to come and you'll learn more about how you can support me through donations
that will be tax-deductible. Supporting the businesses I feature as affiliate partners is
yet another way you can partner with me. I seek to find affiliates who can offer you goods and
services you need, and I have some very exciting Money Saving America first goods and services
you will not want to miss out on. Newest to my affiliate list is a company I'm exceedingly
excited to introduce you to. If you're like me, you're tired of paying very high prices for cable
television and you've been waiting to find just the right company who shares your values to replace
your cable service. Well, I found it. It's called QStreaming. They provide over 3,000 channels,
including live TV, local stations from across the United States, US networks, sports networks,
movie networks, and pay-per-view events. You get all that for about half of what most cable
companies charge and there's no contract, just a monthly subscription. Using the link in the show
notes, go and look around and sign up to start viewing the programs you like for a fraction
of what you're paying now. All while supporting a Christian-owned and operated company that
exclusively uses word-of-mouth advertising so as not to spend money on commercial advertisement
that supports the Woke movement. And don't forget, when it comes to your health, I also have
affiliate partners Mfinity and Dr. Zalinko's ZStack Supplement. You can learn more on the
Affiliate's page and the information in the show notes. Also, there's Operation Tomahawk,
which Scott McKay started. It's a subscription program that allows you to get your household
and personal care items from a company that is American-owned and operated because we don't
want to support the deep state. And regarding your finances, I want you to know about Dr.
Kirk Elliott. He's a personal wealth advisor who offers free consultations to understand your
financial goals and help you reach them. When you purchase my books, products, or services,
or products and services from any of my affiliates, you get something you want and at the same time,
you support me. It's truly a benefit for all of us. So why not shop for yourself or to get gifts
for friends and family? Your support is greatly appreciated. All affiliate partners' information
is in the show notes and I have a dedicated web page where you can learn even more and you can
hear the interviews I've conducted in the vetting process. Of course, you need to do your own due
diligence to make your own decisions what to purchase. But to help you, I am researching
companies and interviewing the representatives and using their products or services myself
to provide you a personal recommendation. There's a link to all the interviews in the show notes.
I sincerely hope you appreciate my dedication to you through these podcasts. Let me know how
this podcast impacts you and what you're now doing in response to the equipping you've received
through me. Again, my email is faithtilivby at PamelaChristianMinistries.com. If you like the
content and resource material I bring with this podcast, you'll find much more by connecting
with me through my blog. In fact, my blog has been awarded two unsolicited awards for Christian
content and I'm very active on social media. I can actually cover more on social media than I can
with this weekly podcast. And to receive even more, please be sure to check out my dedicated
podcast listeners page called Beyond the Podcast. Here's where we can connect exclusively and you
can download complimentary devotionals, resources, and more. And on that page, I also ask you to
help me learn more about what you want by completing the form visible once you scroll down the page.
And I would especially appreciate you subscribing to my complimentary bi-monthly e-newsletter.
As a new subscriber, you can choose one of three gifts I offer in appreciation for your subscription.
Subscribing will make you a preferred member where you will receive special announcements and
offers not available to others. Depending upon where you listen to my podcast, if you've enjoyed
today's episode, please subscribe, rate, and review the show on iTunes, Spotify, Google,
or wherever these features are available. Your review helps the show reach more people,
it helps spread the gospel, and helps people learn how to better apply their Christian faith.
I hope you'll join me next week until your friends and family to listen right here on Faith
to Live By, where we learn how to gain spiritual victory over life's issues. Until next week,
I'm Pam Christian, asking you to remember, Christ died for us, the least we can do is live for Him.
