1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,740 Hello, and welcome to this edition of Faith to Live By, where each week I help us explore 2 00:00:04,740 --> 00:00:10,200 current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective, so we, as God's children, can 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,640 know how He wants us to respond. 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,120 I'm Pam Christian, the researcher, writer, producer, and host of this podcast, and I 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,400 sincerely appreciate you listening today. 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,920 Last week I announced that Stephen Groves would be my guest to help us know more about 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,360 Project 2025, also referred to as the Presidential Transition Project, which is overseen by the 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,060 Conservative Heritage Foundation. 9 00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:37,280 The multi-pronged initiative includes a detailed blueprint for the next Republican President 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,920 to usher in a sweeping overhaul of the executive branch of government. 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,640 What makes this especially interesting is that the Democrats and other left-leaning 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,240 leaders have been speaking about this project more than conservatives out of fear for what 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,280 could happen to them. 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,080 And as they always do, they have been twisting the realities of the project to make Trump 15 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:03,240 out to be a tyrannical ruler who, they say, would ruin our democracy. 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,920 First of all, our nation was founded as a constitutional republic, but under the radical 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,320 left-leaning leaders, our nation has been run like a democracy, which in itself leads 18 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:14,240 to tyrannical control. 19 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,880 As always, they project what they are doing on others as a way to hopefully have their 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,880 actions undetected. 21 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,160 Second, these leaders who are aligned with those seeking a one-world government have 22 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,640 every reason to be frightened, considering their treasonous deeds, that God has called 23 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,640 out through several prophets, clearly stating that he, God, is clearing out our corrupt 24 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,840 governmental leaders. 25 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,280 Unfortunately, Stephen and his entire family got ill, so we'll have to wait until next 26 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,080 week to hear from him about Project 2025, and it will be good, I promise. 27 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,040 Looking at world events today, just as God has promised, many things have escalated all 28 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,360 around the globe. 29 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,000 As God continues to expose evil for the purposes of judging it, before the eyes of the world, 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,600 evil wherever it exists is in a panic, striking out every which way possible. 31 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,360 This is the reason you are experiencing even greater devastation and chaos much closer to 32 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,360 home. 33 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,360 But, God has told us how to deal with this, which is to decree and declare what he has 34 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,880 said to stand strong on his word and do not give up. 35 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,400 God will do what he says he will do in the lives of his children who do not give up. 36 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,640 Those of us who remain in the faith and obey God will find ourselves in his protection 37 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:37,920 and provision, and this is certainly what we are seeing taking place in Israel today. 38 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:42,040 The escalation of events in the Middle East give us clear indication of the invisible 39 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,400 enemy's increased panic with the realization that God is closing in. 40 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,680 Early Sunday morning, the 22nd of September 2024, I received an alert from Amir Safadi. 41 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,040 He was clearly sleep deprived because of the three separate Hezbollah barrages sent throughout 42 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,440 the night. 43 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,280 Hezbollah targeted the northernmost airbase in Israel with roughly 40 long-range rockets 44 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,200 fired, most of which were intercepted. 45 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,520 Amir reported some of the rockets fell in open spaces. 46 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,720 Clearly, the range of rockets is now expanded and war is imminent. 47 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,040 There stated thousands of Israelis have been drafted ahead of a ground maneuver expected 48 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,040 in Lebanon. 49 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,520 You'll find a link in the show notes. 50 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,300 This report confirmed the report Amir gave on Saturday about Israel being on the eve 51 00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:33,440 of a major war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. 52 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,600 Israel received human intel about Hezbollah attempting retaliation against Israel for their 53 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:45,280 strategic attack on an apartment complex in southern Beirut, where 15 top Hezbollah commanders 54 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,680 were taken out. 55 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,360 Two were wanted by the United States for their part in the 1983 bombing of the US Embassy. 56 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Israel learned that Hezbollah wanted to send 1,000 rockets from all different directions 57 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,520 into Israel, but armed with intel, Israel sent a preemptive strike that took out 500 launchers 58 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,160 that had hundreds of missiles in them. 59 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,560 Thousands in all were destroyed by Israel. 60 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,360 This has put both Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran in tremendous confusion because clearly 61 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,840 they have been infiltrated with someone or more than one person feeding intel to Israel. 62 00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:25,080 This came on the heels of Hezbollah troops suffering great damage with their pagers 63 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,960 exploding one day and then radio communication devices exploding the next, injuring hundreds 64 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,440 of terrorists who seek to destroy Israel. 65 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,640 With world events escalating on a variety of fronts, I encourage you to connect with 66 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:43,840 me on Truth Social, ex-formerly Twitter, Gab, and the Blessed to Teach neighborhood. 67 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,960 I post about significant news several times a day. 68 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,680 I didn't include Facebook with that list because Facebook is censoring many of my posts. 69 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,520 We have to remember all of this in Israel and what's going on in the Ukraine and Russia 70 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,280 and China and North Korea and many other places are all part of God exposing evil for the 71 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,640 purposes of judging it. 72 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,920 And do not be naive about evil in the church. 73 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,320 It exists there too and God is judging it first. 74 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,200 I've said many times over the four years I've produced this podcast, the reason the 75 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,360 world is in the mess it's in today is because the church has failed to be the ecclesia God 76 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,360 intended. 77 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,640 So today I bring a sober message to both church leadership and all Christians worldwide to 78 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,280 help us see the truth about the condition of the church so we can repent, realign, and 79 00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,600 reform Christ's church and our respective nations in partnership with God. 80 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,280 I also share a clip from a prophetic word God gave to Robin Bullock that was shared 81 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:53,000 on Elijah Stream's intelligence briefing hosted by Steve Schultz in July this year. 82 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,080 I ask you to listen to this podcast for yourself so you can make sure you are in position to 83 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,080 be in God's protection and for you to share this podcast with your church leadership because 84 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,440 God is not allowing corruption in his ecclesia any longer. 85 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,960 The time of judgment is upon us. 86 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,520 The Christian is recognized by God as a king and priest, co-laborers and joint heirs with 87 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,040 Christ and ambassadors for Christ. 88 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,940 We are all leaders called to influence the people in our sphere of influence according 89 00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:25,240 to God's word. 90 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,480 Additionally, God calls specific men and women to particular places of leadership for the 91 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,640 church who because of their positions of influence are called to a higher standard. 92 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,280 James 3.1 and many other passages support this. 93 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:43,440 One who has been called by God to leadership, who has compromised their role, and those 94 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,520 who have assumed positions of leadership who are not called by God, you are especially 95 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,320 being addressed by God in this hour. 96 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,480 Whether you serve in a position of church leadership or not, we are all subject to God's 97 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,360 discipline and judgment in these very days where God is intervening in the affairs of 98 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,360 mankind worldwide. 99 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,280 I remind you, I do not hold office of a prophet. 100 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,560 I have spoken prophetically, just as the apostle Paul said all Christians can. 101 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,800 I am called to be a teacher and as such, I study the word of God, listen to proven prophets 102 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,600 of God, and prayerfully seek to discern what God wants of his people and then encourage 103 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,520 all of us in that. 104 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,320 Faith and obedience are vital for each one of us to remain in God's protection and 105 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,400 provision. 106 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,160 God has prophetically promised the days at hand will get very dark as he intervenes. 107 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,240 He has said it will be very difficult to walk by faith, given all we will see and hear 108 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,960 in the process of his administering judgment. 109 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,880 So I pray you will let today's podcast penetrate your mind, heart, and soul that you seek the 110 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,720 Lord to know any area of compromise in your life that needs repentance. 111 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:59,200 To set the context for today's program, from the Garden of Eden, God made clear evil exists, 112 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,920 and those who want to escape evil must be aligned with him and obey his commands. 113 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,760 And that reality has existed from the beginning and will continue until Christ returns to 114 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,800 make his final judgment against evil. 115 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,120 We are living in a time when evil has progressed greater than the earth has ever experienced, 116 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,680 and therefore God's judgment will be the greatest the world has ever known. 117 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,800 Evil advances the most through people who reject God. 118 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,760 However, evil also works through those who are God's people who willingly compromise 119 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,960 their faith, essentially step out of the covenant with God. 120 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,840 I invite you to do a quick read through the book of Genesis to see the progression of 121 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:44,000 evil and God's constant intervention to discipline those who belong to him and judge those who 122 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,280 do not. 123 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,320 Through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob whose name was changed to Israel, God established his 124 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,320 nation of people called both Israelites and Hebrews. 125 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,360 In the Bible, the term nation always means nations of people identified by the God or 126 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,200 God's they serve. 127 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,880 God raised Moses up to be the deliverer of his people who had become enslaved by the 128 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,000 Egyptians for over 400 years. 129 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,280 Moses is a type and foreshadow of Jesus Christ who was and is the deliverer of all the people 130 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,440 of the world who choose to be rightly aligned with God through faith in Christ. 131 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,880 In Deuteronomy 4 verse 10, when Moses referred to the assembly of God's people, he uses 132 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,720 the Hebrew word Gal which is translated to the Greek word Ecclesia. 133 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,640 In the New Testament, the word Ecclesia is often translated as church. 134 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,800 The assembly was to be the corporate body of God's people who influenced the world 135 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:43,720 for God, who attract people to faith in God to help them choose life and to learn how 136 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,320 to live in ways that overcome sin and evil, to live in ways that subdue evil. 137 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,920 The word Ecclesia has a rich history. 138 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,560 In its root form it means called out ones. 139 00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,240 This word Ecclesia was used in a political context in ancient Athens to identify qualified 140 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,920 citizenship responsible for electing officials declaring war and military strategy. 141 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,560 When Jesus committed Peter for him receiving the revelation that Jesus was the Christ, 142 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:17,720 Jesus essentially said, upon this rock, this revelation that I am the Christ, I will build 143 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,200 my Ecclesia which is translated to church. 144 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,640 To his disciples at that time, common understanding of the word Ecclesia would have included qualified 145 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,800 citizenship as Christ followers, responsible for electing officials within the church, 146 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,280 and declaring war and military strategy against evil. 147 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,800 And about his Ecclesia, Jesus said, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 148 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,520 Matthew 16 verses 17 to 18. 149 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,200 Jesus is predicting he will build a community of called out ones who will live in obedience 150 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:56,440 to God thereby in the power and the authority of Christ to overcome evil in this world. 151 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,760 And I hope to have adequately expressed how God has always intended his people, his nation, 152 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:08,600 his Ecclesia, his church, to influence the world and not the other way around. 153 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:14,480 When God's people fail to uphold his standards, when we compromise at any level, we lean 154 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,360 into the ways of the world. 155 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,360 Then little by little, the evil in the world penetrates the church. 156 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,040 As we see repeatedly in the Bible, when God's people reject him, in preference for ways 157 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,880 of the world, the ways of sin, he gives them over to their choices until they realize their 158 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,000 condition and call out to him for help. 159 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,800 Every time God's people genuinely repent and seek him, he hears their prayers and he 160 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,840 heals their land. 161 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,800 Healing the land includes judgment against evil. 162 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:50,640 As judgment has many aspects, it can be redemptive or a discipline to correct, it can be transformational, 163 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,960 it can be to hold someone accountable, and it can be condemning. 164 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,360 As the Ecclesia, we are instructed to demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself 165 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,680 up against the knowledge of God, and we are to take captive every thought to make it obedient 166 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:07,680 to Christ. 167 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,760 2 Corinthians 10.5. 168 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,080 When we fail to do this, evil advances. 169 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,560 It's that simple. 170 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:21,200 Because God has clearly instructed and provided His people everything we need to do His will, 171 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:26,280 including having the entirety of scriptures and the indwelling Holy Spirit in our times, 172 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,800 when we fail, we are held to a higher standard. 173 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,840 This is why 2 Peter 4 17 God states, His judgment begins with the house of the Lord, 174 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,920 the Ecclesia, and indeed we are seeing God judge the leadership of the Christian church 175 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,880 in this very hour. 176 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,840 As judgment begins with the house of the Lord, it will surely follow into every other area 177 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,600 of leadership and influence that exists. 178 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,920 We've learned of corruption in essentially every nation in the world. 179 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,160 We've learned of corruption in the United Nations, in the World Health Organization, 180 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:05,120 in the banking institutions, big pharma, big tech, and in fact in all the seven mountains 181 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:12,480 of influence which are religion, government, business, family, education, media, and arts 182 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,480 slash entertainment. 183 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,400 Genuine Christians worldwide who have allowed evil to flourish without doing anything about 184 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,040 it will be visited by God with corrective judgment. 185 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:29,080 Leaders in the church who have been called by God will be held responsible for the truth 186 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,920 they did or did not share with their congregations. 187 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,040 The fact that church leadership, at least here in America, has failed to adequately 188 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,640 talk about current events is outrageous to me. 189 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,280 And it seems that God, speaking through Robin Bullock, feels the same way. 190 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,080 In context, Robin is speaking of how many prophets predicted a second term for Donald 191 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,280 John Trump, and how, when events unfolded as they did with the 2020 election, many of 192 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:01,120 the prophets backtracked and many pastors openly found fault with the prophetic. 193 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,280 Robin is among a handful who stood firm on what God's told him, to which God provides 194 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,040 this prophetic warning. 195 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,600 In God's word that Robin shares, you will hear God say, I anointed your leader, referring 196 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,240 to Donald Trump. 197 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,000 Listen to this clip from Robin, which is God's word to the church, which includes all Christians 198 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:29,480 worldwide and especially leadership. 199 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,080 See when it first happened, the people did their job. 200 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,640 So it was between him and the prophets. 201 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,800 The prophets stood and did their job. 202 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,000 Now it comes back to the people again, right? 203 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,880 But then he started telling me about something else, about leaders of the churches. 204 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,080 And I'll read you the prophecy he gave me. 205 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,760 And I put this, I said this on your program. 206 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,800 I said it on the 11th hour and the Lord said, this is where the church is. 207 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,240 See, yeah, I'll just read. 208 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,320 He said this, he said, the body of Christ is the most powerful entity on the face of the 209 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,760 earth, capable of moving mountains with faith only the size of a mustard seed. 210 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,960 They think they cannot lose and in the abstract, they cannot. 211 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,800 But they believe they cannot lose for the wrong reasons. 212 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,040 They believe that God will win it for them, even if they don't, if they do not try. 213 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,880 However faith is involved, decision is involved. 214 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,720 Both must be in play in order for the body to win moment to moment. 215 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,880 It is the same in the time we found ourselves in faith and decision must be in play and 216 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200 added to this boldness and action. 217 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,960 And added to this as a willingness to speak in the time you found yourself in faith, decision, 218 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:45,200 boldness and action of speech is how you got into the kingdom and nothing has changed. 219 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,520 Now you can't, he said, can you lose in the abstract? 220 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,560 Nay, says the Lord. 221 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,320 Can you lose in the moment? 222 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,680 Most certainly. 223 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,360 If these four things are not in play, then he started talking to the leaders of the churches. 224 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,760 He said, you started bold. 225 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,520 Then you went another way. 226 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:07,440 Once again, you stand on the precipice of winning or defeat, but you have positioned the prophets 227 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:14,400 as scapegoats to bear the brunt of defeat if it should turn. 228 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,400 Stand as the body in the glory of His majesty. 229 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,440 Use faith, make decisions, have boldness and actions of words, action of words and believe 230 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,720 God will honor it. 231 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,320 Hear the word of the Lord. 232 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,720 Time, time. 233 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,360 You speak of time. 234 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,680 What is time? 235 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Time is the essence of the prophetic in the natural world. 236 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,320 This is your time, says the Lord. 237 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,960 Your time, you speak of my sovereignty, says the Lord, but what about yours? 238 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,960 This is your time. 239 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,600 I have anointed your leader. 240 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,520 Now is the time, your time to stand behind him. 241 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,560 If it is lost, says the Lord, it is not me that has failed but you because you will not 242 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,560 stand. 243 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,080 This is your time to tell the sun to stand still and the moon to stand still. 244 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,080 This is your time. 245 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,800 Will you not step up in it and speak faith, speak bold, speak loud? 246 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,160 There is a time and a season for every purpose under heaven and this is your time. 247 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,160 I have done my part, says the Lord on my side of the line. 248 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,720 Now do yours and tell the moon to stand still. 249 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,200 This is what he said. 250 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,440 So we're out of place. 251 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000 It's not between God and His prophets now. 252 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,840 It's between God and the people and the churches. 253 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,680 Pastors won't say, they won't speak. 254 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,720 They're afraid of losing their platforms most of the time. 255 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,220 The thing is. 256 00:17:28,220 --> 00:17:32,960 The thing is, is this, it becomes like Esther. 257 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,080 Esther, you know, it's amazing. 258 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,640 She knows, I think Saul's father was an ancestor of Mordecai, something like that. 259 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,640 Isn't that something? 260 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,520 But anyway, in Esther, I think that's right. 261 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,800 Anyway, in Esther, Mordecai, the prophet comes to Esther and he says they're going to destroy 262 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,800 the nation of the Jews. 263 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,040 You speak. 264 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,320 You're the queen, the body of Christ. 265 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,840 It's who she represented. 266 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,600 I said, you speak. 267 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,200 She said, I can't speak. 268 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,720 If I do, the king, if I go before the king, the king will kill me. 269 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,120 Mordecai said, this is my phraseology. 270 00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:12,040 Let's take something off the table for you. 271 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,280 If you think by not speaking that you'll save yourself. 272 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,920 He said, watch now, the Lord will raise up deliverance for the Jews from another place. 273 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,760 Not a person, a place, but you and your father's house won't survive. 274 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,760 Pastors won't speak. 275 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,160 They heard the prophet speak for three and a half years. 276 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,280 They wouldn't listen to them. 277 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,560 Most pastors wouldn't even listen to the prophet. 278 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,240 They wouldn't distance ourselves from their prophets. 279 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,120 You distancing yourself from prophets got you into that crap to start with because you 280 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:38,720 wouldn't listen to somebody speak. 281 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,440 You wouldn't listen to a prophet talk about tomorrow. 282 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,960 They say, well, wait, I remember when somebody said, well, why didn't any of the prophets 283 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,960 know about COVID coming? 284 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,520 I said, none of them knew about it. 285 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,560 And then suddenly I'd speak for our ministry. 286 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,120 Somebody posted, we posted a video where I was standing on stage on April 30th, 2019 287 00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:56,480 and said, there's a sickness coming, a plague coming, a pestilence coming. 288 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,720 And when we posted all of that, he said, well, I guess I was wrong. 289 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:06,440 Well then we go back and find another prophecy from 2016 on, on September 7th, I think it 290 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,440 was. 291 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,680 And he said that there's a sickness coming into the earth and it'll make the nations 292 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,560 tremble and it's going to hit in this planet. 293 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,920 And it told the whole thing. 294 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,920 Why didn't anybody know that? 295 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,440 How many prophets do you think knew that? 296 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,280 Nobody would let them in their church to say it. 297 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,080 And if they said it, oh, don't say that, that's negative. 298 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080 What death is negative too. 299 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:33,440 But maybe if the church had, had the prophets kind of had liberty to say those things, instead 300 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,200 of prophets sitting around a table with coffee saying, you know, there's a sickness coming, 301 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,120 you know, I know it, man, I heard the same thing. 302 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:39,240 You think prophets don't know that? 303 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,240 They know this stuff. 304 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,080 But you remember the prophets told Elisha, don't you know your master will be taken from 305 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,080 your head today? 306 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,080 He said, yeah, I know it. 307 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,240 They all knew it. 308 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,680 But everybody needs to know it. 309 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,680 So the prophets have been saying for three and a half years, Trump's the president. 310 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,680 Trump really did win. 311 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,680 This really happened. 312 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:55,680 There was a landslide. 313 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:56,680 This took place. 314 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,680 This took place. 315 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,680 This took place. 316 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,560 And the pastors, oh, oh, why? 317 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,840 Because they came after people. 318 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,440 They don't want to lose their platforms. 319 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,280 But what you compromise to keep, you will lose. 320 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,120 And what happens is, remember the old saying, the door, the back door, you leave open for 321 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:14,960 the devil to come, that's for you to get out of the devil to come in that door. 322 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,280 So pastors, you can't tell people who to vote for, but you can tell them the president and 323 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,440 the prophecies and let them make up their own mind because it's between God and the 324 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,440 people. 325 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,560 But it's also between God and the pastors. 326 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,560 Pastors won't speak. 327 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,240 I had a well-known politician talk to me the other day on the phone, call me. 328 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,740 And he said this. 329 00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:33,740 He said, he don't know this. 330 00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:35,400 He don't know anything I just told you. 331 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,840 He said the hardest thing in the world is to get pastors to speak. 332 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,600 He said they're worse than mafia bosses. 333 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,600 He did what he told me. 334 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,600 They're worse than mafia bosses. 335 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,040 Since when, they don't need to be involved in politics. 336 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,040 Really? 337 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,040 Is that true? 338 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,040 Okay. 339 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,840 Then why don't somebody tell Elijah to not talk to Ahab and Jezebel? 340 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,920 You should tell Elijah to leave Jehu alone. 341 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,520 Why don't you turn around and tell Jeremiah to leave Zeta-Kyle alone? 342 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,120 Why don't you turn around and tell Moses, don't go before Pharaoh, that's the government. 343 00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,640 You start going with Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elijah. 344 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,160 You start going from prophet to prophet to prophet to prophet. 345 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,640 And every one of them is talking to a king. 346 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,880 You get to John the Baptist. 347 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,880 Remember what John said to Herod? 348 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:13,960 John addressed Herod. 349 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:14,960 What about Jesus? 350 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,160 Well, Jesus didn't really, when Jesus was born, what was involved? 351 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,400 The IRS was involved with Jesus' birth. 352 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,400 Taxes were being levied. 353 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,160 That was all in His birth. 354 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,160 Taxes were levied. 355 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,160 Caesar was involved. 356 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,160 Herod was involved. 357 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,280 All of these were involved. 358 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,040 The killing of babies was involved, ordered by the government, abortion. 359 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,600 Everything's involved and when the God's people are involved. 360 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560 Well, I don't want to speak. 361 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,520 Well, let's take something off the table for you. 362 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,080 Deliverance will rise up from another place. 363 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:50,400 But the ones who won't speak may not preserve what they tried to preserve any longer. 364 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,960 It's just too big to fail. 365 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,040 Well, I'm going to tell you something. 366 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,040 I want to ask you a question. 367 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,240 And I know it's probably rhetorical. 368 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,240 I'm just asking. 369 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,120 You know, I say, you, you as everybody. 370 00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:08,280 You as them is the use of the world. 371 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,120 What did you get your platform for? 372 00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:13,560 If you won't speak the truth. 373 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,560 What? 374 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,320 Well, we got to use wisdom. 375 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,320 Most of that's a cop out. 376 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,240 We got to use wisdom. 377 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,240 Most of that's just a cop out. 378 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,240 You're just hiding. 379 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,320 What do you have your platform for? 380 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,720 You can't tell people who to vote for. 381 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,200 Nobody's asking you to. 382 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,200 But tell the truth. 383 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,360 Why don't you stand up and tell what things like the LGBTQ is wrong and doing? 384 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:33,360 Speak against BLM. 385 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:35,120 Speak against what it's against God's word. 386 00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:36,640 Why don't you speak the truth? 387 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,280 Speak these things that the LGBTQ community is stealing destinies away from tomorrow's 388 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,000 soldiers in the army of God. 389 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,640 Why don't you say that they're stealing the destinies of people? 390 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,360 They're stealing their identities. 391 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,080 Why don't you speak that from the platform? 392 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,240 Well, we just preach this. 393 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,560 And what you're doing is waiting for this thing to see if it fails or he really goes 394 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,000 back in office. 395 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,560 If it don't make it, then the prophets are settled with the defeat again. 396 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,920 I'm going to tell you something. 397 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,760 Prophets will stand, but they're tired. 398 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,240 They stood when everybody screamed at them they're wrong. 399 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,240 Beat on them. 400 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,240 Well, okay. 401 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,240 But we stood. 402 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,240 Now you stand. 403 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,760 Now listen to what I told you. 404 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Don't tell people. 405 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,760 You can't tell people who to vote for. 406 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:24,760 They're free. 407 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,840 They're free, Steve. 408 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,960 You're not going to say nothing. 409 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,760 So you just leave me out here. 410 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,760 But they are free people. 411 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,000 So you don't tell people who to vote. 412 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,160 You don't tell them what to vote for. 413 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,640 You just tell them the truth. 414 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,720 But there is prophetic scriptures and there is time. 415 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,560 There is a devil and there is demons and there is things that's trying their best to steal, 416 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,200 kill and destroy. 417 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,680 Talk about the supernatural. 418 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,680 Hallelujah. 419 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,680 Well, that's all. 420 00:23:49,680 --> 00:24:11,400 You can watch the entire broadcast with Robin Bullock and Steve Schultz using the link in 421 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,000 the show notes. 422 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,520 God said it was between God and the prophets and that the prophets have done their part. 423 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:25,840 Now God says to see him work on our behalf is between God and the pastors and the people. 424 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,080 It seems clear to me that God is regrouping the five-fold ministry to properly include 425 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320 prophets and apostles. 426 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,760 Part of the reason for the impotency of the church is that we have been functioning primarily 427 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,240 with the evangelists, pastors and teachers, with many churches omitting the prophets 428 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,400 and apostles altogether. 429 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,520 That's man's rejection of God's plan. 430 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,640 Don't you see? 431 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,840 Romans 2.20 informs us that the church is built on the foundation of the apostles and 432 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,160 the prophets with Christ himself as the cornerstone. 433 00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:00,400 I am aware there are some Christian denominations that reason the foundation laid by the prophets 434 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,240 and apostles was laid during the lifetime of Christ. 435 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,840 And since Christ's work as the chief cornerstone was completed with his death, burial, resurrection 436 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,000 and ascension, therefore they reason, the work of the prophets and apostles must be 437 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,600 complete. 438 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,800 These same people claimed the apostles and prophets completed their mission by giving 439 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:26,000 us the written word of God, which they claim is the completed revelation of God. 440 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,200 They claim the ongoing work of the apostles and prophets is now manifest in the Holy Spirit, 441 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:37,400 speaking through and teaching us God's word and they say, in that way the five-fold ministry 442 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,840 is still active. 443 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,680 Honestly, if that were the case, God would have told us so. 444 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,320 God has not even intimated this. 445 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,960 This thinking is man's reasoning devoid of any inspiration from God. 446 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,040 Let's walk through this rationale. 447 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,360 If the work of the apostles and prophets was complete at the point of Christ's death, 448 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:02,800 burial, resurrection and ascension, then how do we explain the entire body of work by the 449 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:09,200 apostle Paul, who was converted on the road to Damascus, four to seven years after Christ's 450 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,960 ascension? 451 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,560 In Matthew 5 verses 17 to 18, Jesus said, Do not think that I have come to abolish the 452 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,520 law or the prophets. 453 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,040 I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them, for truly I say to you until heaven 454 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:29,680 and earth passes away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 455 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,880 End quote. 456 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,480 The phrase until all is accomplished points to Jesus's fulfillment of the specific Old 457 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:41,080 Testament hopes, partly through his earthly life, death and resurrection, and then more fully 458 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:46,240 after his second coming, which is confirmed through his sighting the passing away of heaven 459 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,240 and earth. 460 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:52,880 I see this to mean all of the fivefold ministry is in effect until after his second coming. 461 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,440 One more consideration. 462 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,200 There are about 88 prophets featured or mentioned in the Bible. 463 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,000 A prophet is someone who receives revelation from God for equipping and preparing God's 464 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000 people. 465 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:10,160 They are different from the personal revelations God gives us individually as we seek understanding. 466 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,920 Of the 88 prophets, 63 are in the Old Testament and 25 are in the New Testament. 467 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,960 Some listed in the New Testament are referred to as false prophets, which reveals there 468 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,360 would be such thing as a legitimate prophet. 469 00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:26,080 Jezebel in Revelation 2 verse 20 is one example. 470 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:33,160 Additionally, in Acts 13 verse 1, specific to the church at Antioch alone, there is 471 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,040 a list of prophets and teachers which is significant because the entire book of Acts records the 472 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,960 Acts of the early church after Christ's ascension. 473 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,440 Listen, my husband is an architect and I have learned a lot through the years about the 474 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,000 importance of a foundation for any building. 475 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,640 The higher the building, the deeper the foundation needs to be. 476 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,560 Since we have been adding to the world population globally, we have gained the greatest number 477 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,640 of Christ followers in our day worldwide, and this number will continue to increase until 478 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,120 the last days. 479 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:07,960 This means we are continually expanding the foundation of the church to meet the needs 480 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,480 of all the people. 481 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,360 Yes, there are false prophets and there are legitimate prophets. 482 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:17,480 We can easily discern which is which by their fruit, and what I've consistently brought 483 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,400 you are prophetic words by God's proven prophets. 484 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,960 Anyone in the five-fold ministry who has assumed their position in the church without being 485 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,040 called by God will fail, and they will be held accountable by God for any harm they 486 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,640 cause God's people. 487 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,800 Conversely, anyone who is called by God but fails to share truth with God's people will 488 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,160 be held accountable for that. 489 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,320 And this includes the influence lay Christians are to have in sharing the truth with people 490 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,560 they encounter as part of our Great Commission. 491 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,640 We are to be ready in season and out to give a reason for the hope that is within us. 492 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,880 The work of the prophets, especially in the last days as evil advances, is needed more 493 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,880 than ever to guide God's people through tumultuous times. 494 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:07,400 Kim Clement gave many prophecies that have been and are being fulfilled in these days. 495 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,120 As he explained, part of the work of a prophet is to pray against destruction and calamity 496 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,520 at evil plans to bring preservation to a nation. 497 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,680 There's a short clip of him speaking about this with the link in the show notes. 498 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:27,320 Ephesians 4 verse 11, which by the way was written by the apostle Paul after the ascension 499 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:33,200 of Jesus explains all five positions are to be in place to prepare God's people for 500 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,320 works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in 501 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,320 the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the 502 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,880 whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 503 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:52,120 Works of service means each one of us doing what we are gifted and called to do to advance 504 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,640 the kingdom of God, thereby subduing evil which is essential for us to occupy until 505 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,560 Christ returns. 506 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:05,520 To have God's intended victory as God expressed through Robin Bullock means four things must 507 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,880 be in place. 508 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:15,080 We must have right faith, right decisions, right boldness, and right action or speech. 509 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,800 God said he has already done his part in the battle against evil and now his people must 510 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:26,600 partner with him to see the work completed, specifically the pastors and the people. 511 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:32,000 Through Robin, God admonished pastors especially, specifically stating, what you compromise to 512 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,680 keep you will surely lose. 513 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:40,480 Robin said pastors of course cannot tell people who to vote for, but they must tell people 514 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,920 the truth. 515 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,760 The lack of church leadership addressing real world events is one main reason I started 516 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:47,960 this podcast. 517 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,520 I am willing to speak from this platform what pastors and other leaders need to say but 518 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,920 are not. 519 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,760 Many of the reasons pastors give for not speaking on current events are lame, just as Robin 520 00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,760 said. 521 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:05,400 And it's dangerous too because rather than seeking to please men or build their own platforms, 522 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,280 pastors need to seek God and build God's platform. 523 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,720 This lie about the separation of church and state and that church should not be involved 524 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:19,000 in government or politics, has actually been given teeth by the Johnson Act and the whole 525 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,120 thing is a scheme of the enemy. 526 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,480 The kingdom of God is a government. 527 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,040 The government is upon Christ's shoulders. 528 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,760 We are to be co-laborers with Christ. 529 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:34,080 We are most definitely to be involved in God's kingdom government to subdue the evil governments 530 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,720 of the world. 531 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,440 All the ancient kingdoms and nations of the Old Testament that were not for God were judged 532 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,040 by God as he worked through his people to overthrow the wicked nations. 533 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,800 God told his people to attack and get rid of all sorts of nations to subdue them because 534 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,560 in so doing they were overcoming evil. 535 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,160 People who say Christians are not to be involved in government or politics are woefully lacking 536 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,840 in basic Bible understanding. 537 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,640 Our role in this New Testament era is to first fight from a spiritual perspective through 538 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,160 worship of God, prayer, and decreeing and declaring what God says. 539 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,760 Then God sends heavenly hosts to fight the evil hosts who are working through people 540 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,520 causing all manner of destruction on earth. 541 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:22,200 Second, and especially in a constitutional republic that is governed for and by the people, 542 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,200 our role is to be involved in government and its politics to assure righteous and truthful 543 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,360 laws and rulings. 544 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:35,040 Proverbs 29-2 states, when the righteous increase the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule 545 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,760 the people groan. 546 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,560 But involvement doesn't stop at government and politics, it includes the other six mountains 547 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:48,760 of influence, religion, family, business, education, media, and art slash entertainment. 548 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:54,200 Third, some who are called to serve in government will be called to the military to physically 549 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,040 fight against evil governments just as we are witnessing with Israel. 550 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,760 But God is working to give Israel victory over the unrepentant evil people who want 551 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,440 to see Israel wiped off the face of the earth. 552 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:12,320 Yes, there are human casualties of this spiritual war, because it is a spiritual war of good 553 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,040 versus evil that is played out in the natural world. 554 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,360 Some of us may be called to physical battle and have to risk our safety and lives, but 555 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:28,960 it's for the greatest cause ever, the very same cause Jesus died for, to overcome evil. 556 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:34,680 Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends. 557 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,080 John 1513. 558 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,520 Where would we be without the brave men and women who risk their safety with some giving 559 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:47,560 up their lives to fight for the preservation of good since ancient times? 560 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:54,200 Romans 819 means that the entire creation, including the earth, is eagerly anticipating 561 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,840 the full revelation and manifestation of God's children who will bring about a restoration 562 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,640 and healing to the world. 563 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,200 Essentially, the earth is waiting for people to fully live out their identity as sons and 564 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:11,760 daughters of God, bringing positive change and aligning with God's intended purpose. 565 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,440 I've been working hard to help you realize your personal place in God's plan for the 566 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,400 past several weeks. 567 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,400 Compared to the population of the world, relatively few of us will be called to a physical battle, 568 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,680 but every single one of us is called to fight the spiritual battle. 569 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,760 I'd love to hear from you to learn what you got out of today's podcast. 570 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,320 Please email me at faithtoliveby at pambolacrishonministries.com. 571 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,840 As I shared, I expect to bring Stephen Groves next week. 572 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,040 Stephen is highly educated and has a very impressive resume, and he's often seen on 573 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:54,720 ABC, BBC, CNBC, CNN, and CNN International, CBS 60 Minutes, Fox News, MSNBC, National 574 00:34:54,720 --> 00:35:03,480 Public Radio, Voice of America, NHK, Al Jazeera, Al Hurra, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. 575 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,480 That's a lot. 576 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,040 And just think, now you can add faith to live by on that list. 577 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,960 Seriously, I know I'm the one who's being honored for him to be my guest. 578 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,800 And heads up, I have a call into Amanda Grace to have her back as soon as possible. 579 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,360 It's always enlightening when Amanda shares with us. 580 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,400 Now, I ask you to listen to my announcements and to take advantage of the many goods and 581 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,720 services I bring you in an effort to at least cover the costs of this podcast. 582 00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:35,000 It may seem far off, but most people make plans for a significant vacation about a year in 583 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000 advance. 584 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,200 So, if you haven't already expressed interest in traveling with us in October 2025, now is 585 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,520 the time to do so. 586 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,800 We want to have about 30 people total because this size group works best for the specific 587 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,600 tour I have in mind. 588 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,400 You'll be walking the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. 589 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:57,600 I'm using the time between now and February 2025 to determine if we have enough interest. 590 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,920 And the trend indicates we definitely should. 591 00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:04,200 We have just about 30 people on the list now, but I'd like to have more because when it 592 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,120 comes to the actual day of making a commitment, things could have changed. 593 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,600 And I want to be able to have at least 30 actually attend the tour. 594 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,960 So if you think you'd like to be part of the Faith to Live by Christian tour with me in 595 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:21,280 Greece during October 2025, now is the time to get your name and number in your party 596 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,280 on the list. 597 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,880 There's no obligation at this point. 598 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,880 You're just expressing your interest. 599 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,200 While the specific details are subject to change, as it stands now, the week-long tour 600 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:37,040 will include four nights at Devani Palace Acropolis Hotel in Athens, which includes breakfast, 601 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,960 one night at Amelia Hotel in Delphi, which includes breakfast, one night at Grand Meteora 602 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:48,520 Hotel in Kalambaka with breakfast, two nights at Mediterranean Palace Hotel in Thessaloniki, 603 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,200 that includes breakfast, two dinners at local restaurants, tour guide throughout, deluxe 604 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:59,720 coach throughout, admissions to museums and sites, tips to guides, drivers and restaurants, 605 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:01,640 and all local taxes. 606 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,400 Estimated cost per person double occupancy room is about $3,000. 607 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,520 Attendees need to arrange their own air travel to and from the Athens International Airport. 608 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:16,120 To get your name on the list, send an email to faithtolivby at Pamelachristianministries.com 609 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,760 with the word Greece in the subject line. 610 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,240 In the body of the email, provide your name, contact information, and number of people you 611 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:24,920 expect to be in your party. 612 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,160 This will place your name on the interested in attending list, but does not obligate you 613 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,160 in any way. 614 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:36,520 It merely assures you have first right or refusal come February 2025 when down payments are due.

signing up for my certificate course in apologetics. 619 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,100 My aim with that course is to help people learn how not only to use apologetics to share 620 00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:03,480 truth with others, but to help Christian leaders incorporate apologetics into their respective 621 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,640 ministries so more Christians are learning how to share their faith. 622 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,360 You can learn more by using the link in the show notes. 623 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:16,000 For now, I offer my weekly podcast, my blog, and bi-monthly e-newsletter at no cost, and 624 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,120 certainly I have hard costs associated with doing all I do. 625 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,640 If you've been blessed by my work and would

can do is live for Him.
