WEBVTT 00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:02.980 Greetings and welcome to this edition of Faith 00:00:02.980 --> 00:00:06.200 to Live By with prophet Barry Wunsch as my guest 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:09.080 for part three of my interview with him. Welcome 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:10.839 to those of you finding this podcast for the 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.460 first time and an especially warm welcome to 00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:16.399 my regular listeners. I'm Pam Christian, the 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.679 host of this weekly podcast where we explore 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:20.699 current events from a biblical and prophetic 00:00:20.699 --> 00:00:24.579 perspective so we, as God's children, can know 00:00:24.579 --> 00:00:27.960 how He wants us to respond to see His kingdom 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.039 will done on earth. as it is in heaven. I want 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.880 to say I am grateful to have so many listeners 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.859 in the United States and Canada, but I get to 00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:40.479 also be grateful for a growing number of listeners 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.520 in Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Brazil, 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.219 and the United Kingdom. These nations are among 00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:51.359 those leading the way for their people and those 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.640 in other nations to wake up to the truth of the 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.000 existence of self -appointed evil deep state 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.840 elite who are relentlessly pushing their tyrannical 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.409 oppressive agenda ahead. We need all listeners 00:01:06.409 --> 00:01:09.250 of this podcast to like and share this program 00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:11.829 with your friends and family. We certainly need 00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:14.230 many more people knowing truth and willing to 00:01:14.230 --> 00:01:17.569 do what they can to overcome evil with good, 00:01:17.769 --> 00:01:20.730 and the sooner the better. Fighting against evil 00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:24.390 is weary -making, so we need more people engaged 00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.250 in the process to help the few from burning out. 00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:30.549 Sharing this podcast is one very easy way for 00:01:30.549 --> 00:01:34.739 you to help get more truth known. Today's guest, 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.799 Barry Wunsch, is certainly all about truth. He 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.280 is a most well -respected modern -day prophet 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.900 who has been sharing various visions and prophetic 00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.980 downloads he's received from God specific to 00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:48.879 the days we're living in. If you didn't hear 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.599 parts 1 and 2 of this interview, I strongly encourage 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.519 you to do so as world events are truly heating 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.439 up and we have every expectation they will become 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.450 very intense in the near future. Last week in 00:02:01.450 --> 00:02:03.890 America we had some very important elections 00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:06.909 that are proving to provide tremendous revelations 00:02:06.909 --> 00:02:10.009 and exposures of just who is on the side of the 00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:12.550 deep state, Cabal, wanting to see the United 00:02:12.550 --> 00:02:15.629 States defeated, and who are on the side of the 00:02:15.629 --> 00:02:20.009 sovereignty of nations. Knowing many people may 00:02:20.009 --> 00:02:23.150 be fearful because of the stated election outcome, 00:02:23.469 --> 00:02:26.210 I want to remind us of what God has been prophetically 00:02:26.210 --> 00:02:29.360 sharing for months and years. In a nutshell, 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.000 God has victory in store for His people, and 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.020 He wants us to remember things are not as they 00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:39.560 appear. They are not as the Deep State is publicizing 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.379 and promoting. Listen to the word God gave to 00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:47.080 Julie Green on November 4th in preparation of 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.099 her releasing it on November 5th. the morning 00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:53.800 after the elections, knowing we would need reassurance 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.360 because of how the puppet masters use and control 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.439 mainstream media. What the Deep State continues 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.900 to do is no surprise to God. He is prepared in 00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:06.759 advance to intervene on behalf of His people. 00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:10.460 And remember, God primarily intervenes according 00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:21.120 to the measure His people invite Him. Your enemies 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.539 stole a city to steal a nation. My children, 00:03:28.379 --> 00:03:33.080 war is not coming. War is here in your nation. 00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:38.180 A war against Christianity. A war against your 00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:42.340 freedoms. A war to take your children. A war 00:03:42.340 --> 00:03:45.379 to take down financially. To enslave you the 00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:48.039 rest of the way into your enemy's global society. 00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:53.020 A war has been fought under the radar when this 00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:57.599 nation has been unaware. Military moves are constantly 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.960 being made to save this nation from global takedown. 00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:05.340 A war has been fought against a deep state trying 00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:09.719 to steal the 2026 midterm elections and how they 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.439 are trying to figure out how to steal 2028 election 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:17.680 so a person can never win again if they are not 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.050 apart. of the establishment. A war has been going 00:04:24.050 --> 00:04:27.329 on to stop election fraud because your enemies 00:04:27.329 --> 00:04:30.310 know they can't win an election without stealing 00:04:30.310 --> 00:04:34.529 it. They are making moves right now. They are 00:04:34.529 --> 00:04:37.750 being caught red -handed. Your enemies have no 00:04:37.750 --> 00:04:40.769 idea that I have set those traps and they are 00:04:40.769 --> 00:04:45.670 caught in them. Emails are coming to prove what 00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:48.970 they are doing in New York City with the mayoral 00:04:48.970 --> 00:04:54.629 race, with their man, Mamdani, is a socialist 00:04:54.629 --> 00:04:57.689 plant, a Muslim who wants to legalize Sharia 00:04:57.689 --> 00:05:02.089 law and completely destroy Christianity. He will 00:05:02.089 --> 00:05:10.240 be removed. He will not stay mayor. I allow this 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.540 to happen to show you how far the establishment 00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:17.139 is willing to go to steal a city, to steal a 00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:21.980 nation. Every dirty rat in New York City behind 00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:25.500 this mayoral race will fall flat on their face. 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.399 For I, the Lord, will expose not only election 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.620 fraud in New York City, but more secrets in the 00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:39.420 city will be released regarding 9 -11. your enemy's 00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:42.399 deepest, darkest secrets, why the trend towers 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:48.319 were the target, why that specific day, what 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.439 all they were hiding and would have been taken 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:59.100 that day and who was all involved. My children, 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.279 all of this has been a part of war against this 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.699 nation. Do you not see by the 2020 election, 00:06:05.310 --> 00:06:08.250 Your enemies are willing to do anything to destroy 00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:11.889 this nation. Do you really think that because 00:06:11.889 --> 00:06:14.889 President Trump won the 2024 election that your 00:06:14.889 --> 00:06:17.089 enemies were just going to give up and stop? 00:06:19.790 --> 00:06:21.990 No, they are more desperate now than they were 00:06:21.990 --> 00:06:26.709 in 2024. But now in 2025, your enemies are in 00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:30.889 a nosedive they can't get out of. They are falling 00:06:30.889 --> 00:06:35.740 with no end in sight. After what takes place 00:06:35.740 --> 00:06:38.300 in New York City, more things will begin to take 00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:43.279 shape and more masks will be revealed. My children, 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.139 I told you it would look worse before it got 00:06:47.139 --> 00:06:53.759 better. Do you see the nation needs you, my children? 00:06:54.899 --> 00:06:59.779 They don't need politicians. They need my church 00:06:59.779 --> 00:07:03.480 using my glory to fill its nation. and free it 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.740 from the demonic chokehold it has been under. 00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:11.980 No more, no longer take what your enemies are 00:07:11.980 --> 00:07:15.879 doing and fight now back more with my words than 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.160 ever before. Don't let your enemies keep you 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.660 in bondage. Don't let them keep stealing from 00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:24.300 you. Don't let them take your kids. Don't let 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:27.480 them continue on their path of destruction for 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:33.139 you or your nation. You have something to say 00:07:33.139 --> 00:07:40.980 about it. And you can push back and win. I have 00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:43.740 given you all you need. I have defeated these 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:47.439 enemies. Now take back what belongs to you and 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:53.120 do not back off. Don't give up when it looks 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.439 like the war is getting worse and not better. 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.759 Do not believe that your enemies can win because 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:05.939 they can't. I am Jehovah -Nissi. I am your victory. 00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:10.899 And I never fail. My children, this nation needs 00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:18.319 you now. So shout my words. Again, shout my words. 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.560 Use the sword of the spirit and watch what happens 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:26.319 to your enemies when you do. Defeat is coming 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.389 to your enemies in unprecedented ways. So believe 00:08:30.389 --> 00:08:34.009 I will not forsake you. I will not abandon you. 00:08:34.350 --> 00:08:38.230 I will never and have and never will I Never 00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:40.590 have and I never will the time for my nation 00:08:40.590 --> 00:08:44.250 is now it's time to arise It's time to shine 00:08:44.250 --> 00:08:47.690 and destroy the darkness with my light that is 00:08:47.690 --> 00:09:00.029 on the inside of you Says the Lord of hosts Another 00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:03.049 powerful word from the Lord sternly instructing 00:09:03.049 --> 00:09:06.750 us to fight in partnership with Him to see His 00:09:06.750 --> 00:09:09.690 promised victory. I shared last week how many 00:09:09.690 --> 00:09:12.470 of God's promises are conditional, meaning there 00:09:12.470 --> 00:09:16.149 are specific responses required from us if we 00:09:16.149 --> 00:09:18.769 are going to experience the fullness of God's 00:09:18.769 --> 00:09:21.649 promise. Clearly the victory to overcome the 00:09:21.649 --> 00:09:25.190 evil in our nations requires God's people to 00:09:25.190 --> 00:09:29.139 fight against evil. Now, with this firmly in 00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:31.700 mind, let me play Part 3 of my interview with 00:09:31.700 --> 00:09:34.659 Barry Wunsch, continuing from last week's program, 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.340 where we are now moving into the very sobering 00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:40.820 reality of God's people, the Church, or better 00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:45.019 stated, the Ecclesia, being first in God's administration 00:09:45.019 --> 00:09:56.580 of judgment, according to 1 Peter 4 .17. I appreciate 00:09:56.580 --> 00:09:59.639 that you say that, and you are among those that 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.639 I follow who really just have a genuine, humble 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.960 spirit, and it's so refreshing. One of the things 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.440 when you were talking earlier about the Lord 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.340 removing people from positions, I wondered if 00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:14.019 there was any pastors that you have seen in these 00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:16.220 visions from the Lord. Because we have 1 Peter 00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:18.960 4 .14, I believe it is, where judgment begins 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:21.940 with the house of the Lord, I would imagine that 00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:23.620 there's been times that the Lord has shown you 00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:26.759 what he's doing with his ecclesia? Well, you 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.620 know, in September we were out in a place called 00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:34.820 Kelowna, BC. Beautiful city. You know, it's kind 00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:38.259 of mountainous and a lot like California, I think, 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.059 actually, to be honest. A lot of vineyards and, 00:10:42.059 --> 00:10:45.559 you know, fruit orchards and like it's a beautiful 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.559 spot, beautiful lake. And so one night I woke 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.710 up, actually September 25th, wide awake, I couldn't 00:10:51.710 --> 00:10:54.409 really sleep and I just, the Lord was stirring 00:10:54.409 --> 00:10:57.210 me. So I went and the place we were staying, 00:10:57.370 --> 00:10:59.370 they had this big deck on their house looking 00:10:59.370 --> 00:11:03.549 out over the lights of the city. So I went out 00:11:03.549 --> 00:11:05.590 there and I'm looking at this and I mean, I just 00:11:05.590 --> 00:11:07.970 felt something was really off. It was kind of 00:11:07.970 --> 00:11:10.909 like the calm before the storm. Actually, I felt 00:11:10.909 --> 00:11:13.909 really sad because I could see what was coming 00:11:13.909 --> 00:11:16.889 and I knew by the Spirit of God that there was 00:11:16.889 --> 00:11:21.039 major demolition ahead. And I knew there was 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:25.279 a tearing down and a big renovation and a rebuild 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.389 for his church. I'm sitting out there, and the 00:11:29.389 --> 00:11:31.750 father spoke to me clearly, and he says, I'm 00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:34.830 turning the church upside down. And just like 00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:37.850 that, I was taken into the Spirit, and I saw 00:11:37.850 --> 00:11:43.009 several ministries and leaders that I recognized, 00:11:43.029 --> 00:11:45.450 and I knew it was more than just them. I knew 00:11:45.450 --> 00:11:48.409 that it was more than the Okanagan Valley. I 00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:51.730 knew that it was, you know, I knew this was a 00:11:51.730 --> 00:11:55.450 bigger word than for there. But these guys were 00:11:55.450 --> 00:11:59.019 being basically held by their feet upside down 00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:05.100 and shaken and one by one and and so you know 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:07.519 what was happening is they were being shaken 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.740 everything in their pockets was being shaken 00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:13.600 out there was money there were keys to vaults 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.679 there was money to safety deposit boxes i saw 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.259 computer thumb drives that helped all sorts of 00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:26.960 bad things i saw hotel room keys I saw boarding 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.519 passes, I saw crumpled up notes and receipts, 00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:33.860 but this was like, it was all coming out. Every 00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:36.360 hidden thing was coming out. And it was just 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:37.679 like, you know, have you ever been on one of 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.100 those circus rides at the exhibition where, you 00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:42.059 know, they get you upside down and they, you 00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:44.259 know, spin and all your stuff falls out of your 00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:46.980 pocket? I mean, I've always been afraid of those. 00:12:47.019 --> 00:12:49.899 I've never ridden one, but it was kind of like 00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:52.799 that. And I knew it like it would be painful. 00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:56.019 but it would bring freedom. And so I knew that 00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:57.879 by the Spirit that there would be some that would 00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.899 repent and some would not, and they would never 00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:05.059 minister again. And there were some that were 00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:07.820 just raging. I mean, they were escalating with 00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:10.659 such anger and self -defense. They were just 00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:13.340 lashing out against anyone or anything that moved. 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.059 I mean, they were blinded by their own pride 00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:19.440 and rage, and they just began accusing anyone 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.029 in their path of attacking them. And so they 00:13:22.029 --> 00:13:25.190 went on a counterattack, which in reality was, 00:13:25.190 --> 00:13:27.850 you know, part of their delusional paranoia, 00:13:28.090 --> 00:13:32.330 frankly. But they proclaimed these accusations 00:13:32.330 --> 00:13:35.529 as lies and an attack from the enemy, when in 00:13:35.529 --> 00:13:38.929 fact it was the Lord who was lovingly bringing 00:13:38.929 --> 00:13:44.110 discipline to those He loves. and the consequences 00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:47.330 were the consequences of their actions. And so, 00:13:47.629 --> 00:13:50.169 they resisted the Father, and they were unable 00:13:50.169 --> 00:13:53.970 to really see clearly, let alone come into repentance. 00:13:54.830 --> 00:13:58.730 And so, you know, I saw these leaders and networks, 00:13:59.149 --> 00:14:02.690 interconnected ones, intertwined, you know, shaken 00:14:02.690 --> 00:14:05.389 one after another, just like a domino effect. 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.799 you know kind of again and so what and some of 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.580 these organizations they'd started out as good 00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:15.159 you know legitimate you know innocent looking 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.559 networks but they would now be exposed it would 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.919 all come you know at a great cost kind of to 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.240 them all but but in the end it would prove actually 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.259 to be the best thing that ever happened to them 00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:31.190 so so so that was a lot i go back to bed trying 00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:34.330 to get back to sleep after I made my notes. And 00:14:34.330 --> 00:14:37.529 as I was falling to sleep, the Lord woke me again, 00:14:37.669 --> 00:14:44.590 just boom. And He said, you know, bury an offering 00:14:44.590 --> 00:14:48.389 is one thing, but fleecing is quite another. 00:14:49.049 --> 00:14:52.970 And I do not take lightly to how shepherds and 00:14:52.970 --> 00:14:58.240 leaders mistreat my people. These ones have used 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.679 and abused my precious ones to satisfy their 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:06.039 own selfish carnal desires. You who have fleeced 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:10.519 my sheep, you who have manipulated and stolen 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:15.399 from my people, hear me clearly on this day. 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.899 It's time to examine your hearts. It's time to 00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:23.860 lay things down and clean things up. Leave your 00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:27.620 gift at the altar. and go to those you need to 00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:30.700 go to and make amends and make things right. 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.299 For you have made things more about your business 00:15:35.299 --> 00:15:39.440 than mine, and I say unto you on this day, it 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.360 is in your best interest to sort it out, for 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.960 if you don't, I surely will. And yes, there is 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.929 grace, and this is my grace unto you today. And 00:15:52.929 --> 00:15:57.610 the voices of revival will be the voices of despair. 00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:02.350 Kickbacks and greasy deals are coming to the 00:16:02.350 --> 00:16:06.190 surface. You can try to hide behind your friends, 00:16:06.690 --> 00:16:11.389 but for only so long, for truth will always prevail 00:16:11.389 --> 00:16:14.730 over the lies. But either way, it's all coming 00:16:14.730 --> 00:16:19.149 out. There have been land deals done in my name 00:16:19.149 --> 00:16:23.000 that I had nothing to do with. My name was used 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.799 to move money when it was your scheming and planning, 00:16:26.299 --> 00:16:29.620 and the truth is it's a crime. And there will 00:16:29.620 --> 00:16:33.740 be consequences that will be paid. What evidence 00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:37.679 was burned in a dumpster fire will not go away 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.320 that easily, and you can't blame the enemy for 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:46.080 the consequences. That blame lies upon your actions. 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.250 Remember, I'm a good, good father. and a good 00:16:51.250 --> 00:16:54.769 father disciplines those that he loves. And this 00:16:54.769 --> 00:16:59.509 is my heart for you, for I do love you, and I 00:16:59.509 --> 00:17:03.210 desire that you could come to me in honesty with 00:17:03.210 --> 00:17:08.069 your mess, with a repentant heart, mind and spirit, 00:17:08.369 --> 00:17:11.190 and I assure you I will take you through the 00:17:11.190 --> 00:17:14.970 breaking in order that you will know my statutes 00:17:14.970 --> 00:17:18.839 and be made whole again. So, Barry, tell my people 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.859 it's time to shut down the circus and the exhibition 00:17:22.859 --> 00:17:26.619 and get back being the people I've called you 00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:29.880 to be. For I've called you to disciple the nations. 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.339 I've called you to share the good news. I have 00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:38.779 called you. The kingdom of God is near. Heal 00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:43.200 the sick. Raise the dead. cleanse those with 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:47.420 leprosy, drive out demons, for freely you've 00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:51.259 received, freely give. So return to my ways, 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.619 my ancient paths, and I will tell you, things 00:17:55.619 --> 00:18:00.380 will turn around for good. And holy is the word 00:18:00.380 --> 00:18:04.720 of the Lord. Wow, very. With everything that 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.539 the Lord has been so gracious to reveal through 00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:10.480 his servants of prophets over the past several 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.339 years, and as it's really coming to a heightened 00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:17.460 sense in these last few months, it really seems 00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.140 to me that the Lord is giving more words, more 00:18:20.140 --> 00:18:24.220 frequent, more content with a greater intensity. 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.259 It seems to me that the Lord is cleaning up the 00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:30.680 church and cleaning up the governments and the 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:36.029 nations at the same time. We have a chance to 00:18:36.029 --> 00:18:38.630 wake up one morning in the not too distant future 00:18:38.630 --> 00:18:42.140 and have a whole new world. Yeah, it's true. 00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:45.339 I told a friend today on a call, I said, you 00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:48.059 know what, we're seeing the deep state, you know, 00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:49.920 in government, we're seeing the Lord dealing 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.740 with all that. But we're also seeing, in many 00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:54.900 ways, the church is actually operating like the 00:18:54.900 --> 00:18:58.519 cabal. And, you know, he's bringing his light 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:00.819 to this. And, you know, one thing I want to talk 00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:04.420 about is, is the God of mercy and grace. And 00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:06.819 he certainly has, I mean, look, he took Paul, 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:09.140 you know, I mean, he took Paul, turned him around. 00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:11.089 I mean, here was, you know, chief of sinners, 00:19:11.410 --> 00:19:15.369 of which I'm one. He took David, you know, an 00:19:15.369 --> 00:19:18.029 adulterer and a murderer and, you know, all of 00:19:18.029 --> 00:19:20.930 this and brought restoration and healing, which 00:19:20.930 --> 00:19:24.130 is true. But here's the thing we kind of jump 00:19:24.130 --> 00:19:29.430 over. We can't have mercy without truth and justice. 00:19:30.269 --> 00:19:33.349 And so what happens in my life, or it has happened, 00:19:34.049 --> 00:19:36.329 is truth has come and it's cut like a knife and 00:19:36.329 --> 00:19:40.380 it's hurt. but it's cut out that affection, infection. 00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:45.160 It's cut me in a painful way so that I deal with 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.079 it, which actually becomes justice, which comes 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.200 the repentance, which comes that part of it. 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.599 And then when that happens, then mercy comes, 00:19:55.099 --> 00:19:58.299 right? And so it's actually all God's mercy. 00:19:58.539 --> 00:20:00.299 And if we want to take it even a little further, 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.420 we can say that that's actually even when restitution 00:20:03.420 --> 00:20:06.660 comes. is as a broken people, we can actually 00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:09.660 go further and we can actually make things right 00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:12.500 with those that we may be harmed or even a little 00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:18.079 better. And so those are kind of heavy words. 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.180 So may we be a people that examine our hearts 00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:26.059 and steward our lives that we can be the best 00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:29.279 that we can be. You know, you're reminding me 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.000 of the scripture where it says if your brother 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.619 has something against you to leave your gift 00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:34.619 at the altar and go make amends with your brother. 00:20:34.619 --> 00:20:37.640 Now, this is speaking to believers, to God's 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.480 children. So God is asking us to do what we can 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:46.259 to make restitution, to make relationships restored 00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:49.220 in as much as possible. And then the whole idea 00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:52.039 of restitution is to try to make it even better 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.200 than it was before. Yes. Yeah, that's right. 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.440 And sometimes that takes some time. You know, 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:00.819 because we also have seen people go into a false 00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:04.299 peace treaty where they'll go and, you know, 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.660 try and make that phone call or meet and, you 00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:09.960 know, if I offended you, yeah, no, I'm okay. 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.900 But really, maybe there is a hurt there or something 00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:15.339 that they're not talking about. And so we can 00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:17.980 actually sometimes end up in a false peace treaty 00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:21.480 if people aren't being honest. And that's not 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:24.700 good either. Right. And so, but, you know, by 00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:27.500 the spirit, like if you're if You go into those 00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:32.000 situations. You know what's genuine and what's 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.839 right and what's not. And maybe some of those 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.200 relationships will never be the same. Sometimes 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.880 you'll come out and you'll deal with it, you'll 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.019 settle it, but that doesn't mean that maybe you're 00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:46.940 going to be doing everything together like you 00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:50.079 used to. And that's okay. And that's okay. Right. 00:21:50.190 --> 00:21:52.829 Forgiveness is one thing, but wisdom also needs 00:21:52.829 --> 00:21:55.690 to come into play. You're reminding me of how 00:21:55.690 --> 00:21:59.589 important it is that we as disciples of Christ, 00:22:00.410 --> 00:22:03.009 as his representatives here on earth, that we 00:22:03.009 --> 00:22:06.089 do our best to keep ourselves clean before the 00:22:06.089 --> 00:22:08.650 Lord, pure heart and clean hands, and that when 00:22:08.650 --> 00:22:12.539 we do when we realize we have offended especially 00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:15.059 a brother or a sister in Christ that we do everything 00:22:15.059 --> 00:22:18.039 in our power to make amends. I had a situation 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.039 recently where I was on the phone with a dear 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.240 friend of mine who's a wonderful Christian woman 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.799 and I guess I was abrupt with her pretty pretty 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.880 abrupt with her which I can be I yes I can and 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.460 I hung up the phone I thought I wonder how that 00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:37.400 went well she was good enough that she called 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.119 me back within Just a matter of minutes and lovingly 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.579 let me know She just wanted to talk to me and 00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:46.079 she let me know exactly how I had offended her 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:49.099 by being a breath the way I was Yeah, and we 00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:52.240 were able to have a wonderful conversation and 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.039 the very next time I saw her which was just within 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.500 a couple of days I was able to hug her Thank 00:22:57.500 --> 00:23:01.099 you for caring so much about our friendship to 00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:02.980 bring that to my attention because that was not 00:23:02.980 --> 00:23:07.119 easy for her No, but it was far better for us 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:09.299 and pleasing to the Lord that we handled it, 00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:12.140 that it was worked out the way it was. So beautiful. 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.500 And you can actually sometimes come out of these 00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:18.160 things closer and stronger, you know, being honest. 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:20.900 Well done. Well done. I got to give you a testimony. 00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:27.319 We were off in Kelowna doing some meetings and 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:29.779 I'd had a dream, you know, where there'd been 00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:32.799 a bunch of pain and hurt that had gone on. and 00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:34.759 the Lord came in the room with a towel wrapped 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:37.559 around his waist and a basin to wash the feet 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:42.279 of his people and the victims and leaders and 00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:43.660 different ones, you know, the ones that have 00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:46.819 been hurt by leaders. So anyway, I was sharing 00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:49.799 this with the leadership group there and they 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:52.059 said, Barry, we need to do a foot washing tonight. 00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:55.200 And within 20 minutes, they went out and they're 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.119 buying towels and they're buying buckets and 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:02.190 getting ready. So Pam, we did a foot washing, 00:24:02.950 --> 00:24:07.250 about 250 people in the room. My wife and I, 00:24:08.009 --> 00:24:10.509 this other pastor and his wife, another set of 00:24:10.509 --> 00:24:13.309 pastors and their wives, the altar was full of 00:24:13.309 --> 00:24:17.029 leaders, and people stood in line for an hour 00:24:17.029 --> 00:24:21.509 and a half to have their feet washed. And as 00:24:21.509 --> 00:24:25.089 we washed their feet, we did an identification 00:24:25.089 --> 00:24:29.319 repentance. What do you mean by that? would you 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.339 forgive us as leaders, as men and women who have 00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:35.640 hurt you, who have abused you, who have mistreated 00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:37.619 you, who have not heard your voice, who have 00:24:37.619 --> 00:24:43.059 not, and we had people bawling in our arms. And 00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:45.720 forgiveness, we forgive you, like it was actually, 00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:49.200 I've never been through anything like it. And 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.519 then within 12 hours, We had, you know, one of 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:54.400 the people had walked in and said, you're not 00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:56.660 going to believe this. And a miracle happened, 00:24:56.859 --> 00:24:59.619 kind of broken family and stuff. And within 12 00:24:59.619 --> 00:25:02.799 hours, there was reconciliation. And within another 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:05.759 24 hours, there was more family reconciliation 00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.480 within the family. But what it did is it broke 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.480 that thing in the spirit that had held them. 00:25:12.819 --> 00:25:18.390 And I'm telling you, it is... powerful. And so, 00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:21.849 you know, we come into that position to like, 00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:26.369 I just, it's a night I will never forget. And 00:25:26.369 --> 00:25:28.410 it was such an honor to be able to serve and 00:25:28.410 --> 00:25:32.690 do that. I just, yeah. I'm getting a little teary 00:25:32.690 --> 00:25:36.049 eyed with the whole story. It's so beautiful. 00:25:36.049 --> 00:25:38.190 And it reminds me of what you said just a couple 00:25:38.190 --> 00:25:40.029 of minutes ago. So many people wonder what can 00:25:40.029 --> 00:25:44.170 they do? Well, being genuine and honest and I 00:25:44.170 --> 00:25:47.450 think you called it identification or representation. 00:25:48.569 --> 00:25:52.170 Identification or repentance. Yeah. So as leaders, 00:25:52.289 --> 00:25:54.970 we just went, we repented on those that, and 00:25:54.970 --> 00:25:57.190 I mean, I'm, I'm tell you, I mean, I can't tell 00:25:57.190 --> 00:25:59.589 Sarah in the air here, but we had people share 00:25:59.589 --> 00:26:03.240 things with us that they'd carried for years 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.859 and in some recent and the abuses and the things 00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:09.440 that had happened to them from pastors and leaders 00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:13.640 and oh man i'm telling you but the love of god 00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:16.779 came and touched and brought healing and deliverance 00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:20.079 it was just fantastic and the beauty that comes 00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:22.700 from something like that because in the years 00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:25.480 the precious people were carrying the the pain 00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:28.079 and the suffering the heartache the story is 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:32.240 very true hurting people hurt people yep When 00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.119 we have people within the body of Christ who 00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:37.160 are carrying such heartache Inevitably they are 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.720 also hurting other people. Yeah, so the healing 00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.420 has such a ripple effect. It's it's really Glorious, 00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:48.319 it's it's really beautiful. Yeah. Yeah it is 00:26:48.430 --> 00:26:50.710 You know, it's an ongoing thing, by the way. 00:26:50.730 --> 00:26:53.490 It's not like a one and done. You know, it's 00:26:53.490 --> 00:26:56.789 a continual thing. You know, we call it do your 00:26:56.789 --> 00:27:01.369 annual, it's like a spiritual car wash. You pull 00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:04.109 out the mats and pull the spare tire out and 00:27:04.109 --> 00:27:06.890 kind of dig in there. And then we, I think it's 00:27:06.890 --> 00:27:09.269 a good practice for all of us, whether you're 00:27:09.269 --> 00:27:11.390 a leader, whether you've been pastoring for, 00:27:11.390 --> 00:27:14.710 you know, two years, five years or 50 years. 00:27:15.230 --> 00:27:17.529 You know, I think that, you know, we all have 00:27:17.529 --> 00:27:19.910 stuff that you know, kind of sometimes piles 00:27:19.910 --> 00:27:23.210 up. I sure do. But it doesn't have to. Yeah, 00:27:23.450 --> 00:27:25.650 and the Lord doesn't want it to either. He's 00:27:25.650 --> 00:27:27.970 given us every opportunity and instructions on 00:27:27.970 --> 00:27:31.089 how we can go about being healed and delivered 00:27:31.089 --> 00:27:34.529 and united in His love. Barry, I so enjoyed our 00:27:34.529 --> 00:27:38.210 time together. I always do. Thank you, Pam. Yeah, 00:27:38.210 --> 00:27:41.150 me too. Thank you. I would like to know how you 00:27:41.150 --> 00:27:44.250 would like to close us out. What closing comments 00:27:44.250 --> 00:27:47.150 are on your heart? Well, you know, I'm just going 00:27:47.150 --> 00:27:50.369 to talk about something here just briefly. We 00:27:50.369 --> 00:27:53.930 were in some meetings recently, and, you know, 00:27:54.029 --> 00:27:56.710 this hit me pretty hard, like I needed to hear 00:27:56.710 --> 00:28:01.930 it. And it actually is about Shalom. And Shalom 00:28:01.930 --> 00:28:04.269 is peace, right? I mean, Hebrew peace is kind 00:28:04.269 --> 00:28:06.930 of how I always was taught. And, you know, we've 00:28:06.930 --> 00:28:09.029 got a lot of things going on today, you know, 00:28:09.029 --> 00:28:11.450 and there's lots of crazy circumstances going 00:28:11.450 --> 00:28:14.849 on. We've got some uncertainties, but I'll say, 00:28:15.049 --> 00:28:19.170 We're thankful for God's faithfulness, His grace, 00:28:19.230 --> 00:28:21.849 and all that He is to us. We're thankful for 00:28:21.849 --> 00:28:25.349 the shalom of God that is much more than peace 00:28:25.349 --> 00:28:29.609 in Hebrew. And so I was taught that shalom literally 00:28:29.609 --> 00:28:35.109 means, may the God of heaven come and destroy 00:28:35.109 --> 00:28:40.430 all power, all authority that is threatening 00:28:40.430 --> 00:28:46.390 to bind you to chaos. Furthermore, the definition 00:28:46.390 --> 00:28:50.470 of chaos means complete disorder and confusion. 00:28:51.450 --> 00:28:56.289 And so my prayer today for us all is that God 00:28:56.289 --> 00:28:59.869 would shelter us behind his impenetrable walls 00:28:59.869 --> 00:29:03.769 of his love, his presence, his protection, and 00:29:03.769 --> 00:29:09.190 may we live in lockdown in the place of shalom. 00:29:09.890 --> 00:29:13.170 And we are thankful for his word that never returns 00:29:13.170 --> 00:29:18.500 void. And we're very thankful that God is bringing 00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:21.680 the nations. He's bringing truth and justice 00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:24.779 to the nations and righteousness. We're thankful 00:29:24.779 --> 00:29:27.519 that He's bringing down evil thrones and kings. 00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:31.779 We're thankful that He's raising up righteous 00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:35.460 kings into thrones. And we're thankful that we've 00:29:35.460 --> 00:29:38.299 turned a corner in this battle. And that it's 00:29:38.299 --> 00:29:42.539 going to accelerate. So my prayer today for everyone 00:29:42.539 --> 00:29:46.980 listening is shalom, shalom over you. Shalom 00:29:46.980 --> 00:29:50.559 over your families. Shalom over your mental, 00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:55.220 emotional, and spiritual health. Shalom over 00:29:55.220 --> 00:30:00.319 every relationship. Shalom over your finances 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:05.720 and resources. Shalom over every father, every 00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:10.269 mother. every grandparent and great -grandparent, 00:30:10.890 --> 00:30:16.750 shalom over every son, over every daughter, grandchild 00:30:16.750 --> 00:30:23.509 and great -grandchild. I speak shalom, shalom, 00:30:24.190 --> 00:30:28.230 over each and every one of you, in Jesus' name. 00:30:30.159 --> 00:30:34.240 Barry, thank you so much, and we wish every bit 00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.799 of that to also be given unto you. Thank you 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:49.519 so very much. Thank you. A very sobering message. 00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:53.779 As Barry said, we can't have mercy without truth 00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:57.839 and justice. And I'll add, before justice can 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:01.490 be experienced, Judgment must be administered. 00:31:02.630 --> 00:31:04.750 Learning from Barry and many others I follow, 00:31:05.130 --> 00:31:07.910 I wrote my recent blog post. And if you're not 00:31:07.910 --> 00:31:10.329 a subscriber to my free bi -monthly e -newsletter, 00:31:10.509 --> 00:31:13.029 you can still see the blog post by just visiting 00:31:13.029 --> 00:31:15.859 the site. I do suggest however, especially since 00:31:15.859 --> 00:31:19.000 my blog is complimentary, that you go ahead and 00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:21.960 sign up so it comes to you directly. My subscribers 00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:25.519 can attest I don't even come close to bombarding 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.599 them with other emails, announcements, or promotions. 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.839 That's just not what I do. Subscribers only hear 00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:34.700 from me once every other month with a very rare 00:31:34.700 --> 00:31:39.200 contact otherwise. So in my recent blog titled 00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.519 As in the Days of Noah, As in the Days of Moses, 00:31:42.750 --> 00:31:46.430 I wrote, quote, As God's trusted modern -day 00:31:46.430 --> 00:31:50.269 prophets have warned, judgment is coming. But 00:31:50.269 --> 00:31:53.049 those who repent and seek to be intentionally 00:31:53.049 --> 00:31:55.430 aligned with God the Father through faith in 00:31:55.430 --> 00:31:58.049 Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, 00:31:58.410 --> 00:32:01.009 they will be spared from judgment and instead 00:32:01.009 --> 00:32:03.930 participate with the bounty of God's justice. 00:32:04.329 --> 00:32:07.190 God has prophetically warned for several years 00:32:07.190 --> 00:32:10.250 now that He is soon to perform another Exodus, 00:32:10.490 --> 00:32:12.990 far greater than He did in Egypt, where His people 00:32:12.990 --> 00:32:15.589 will be delivered out of the bondage of evil, 00:32:16.150 --> 00:32:18.809 freed to worship Him, where the wealth of the 00:32:18.809 --> 00:32:21.529 wicked will be given over to the righteous, God's 00:32:21.529 --> 00:32:25.630 people, as a second chance to accomplish His 00:32:25.630 --> 00:32:30.750 will despite our failure. For context, the blog 00:32:30.750 --> 00:32:33.809 began by explaining the reason the world needs 00:32:33.809 --> 00:32:36.450 judgment is because God's people fail to properly 00:32:36.450 --> 00:32:40.150 uphold truth by making disciples in all nations. 00:32:40.890 --> 00:32:44.269 Now continuing the blog, quote, I believe all 00:32:44.269 --> 00:32:46.769 the signs for the flood of God's judgment and 00:32:46.769 --> 00:32:49.869 deliverance is immediately before us now. The 00:32:49.869 --> 00:32:52.809 recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas to 00:32:52.809 --> 00:32:56.210 quell the thousands of years of war brings peace 00:32:56.490 --> 00:33:00.730 perhaps the false peace referred to in 1 Thessalonians 00:33:00.730 --> 00:33:03.630 chapter 5 verse 3, potentially providing even 00:33:03.630 --> 00:33:06.750 more reason for God's people to use this time 00:33:06.750 --> 00:33:10.410 wisely. I see our immediate future as a time 00:33:10.410 --> 00:33:13.329 of reprieve from the intensity of spiritual battle 00:33:13.329 --> 00:33:16.049 that we should use to be refreshed and restored, 00:33:16.390 --> 00:33:19.990 ready to step into our place in God's plan, to 00:33:19.990 --> 00:33:23.029 reclaim what we have given up, and to rout the 00:33:23.029 --> 00:33:26.019 enemy back. Route is a military term meaning 00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:28.880 to defeat the enemy completely and force them 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:35.859 to flee in a disorganized way." I see God urgently 00:33:35.859 --> 00:33:38.660 positioning his people, calling and equipping 00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:41.779 us to reclaim all the territory we have given 00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:45.680 up and to route the enemy with all God's might. 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:49.019 As God spoke through Julie Green and as God has 00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:52.539 shown Barry in the visions he shared, we are 00:33:52.539 --> 00:33:55.789 in a war. We have been in a spiritual war for 00:33:55.789 --> 00:33:58.490 thousands of years, but God's people lost sight 00:33:58.490 --> 00:34:01.650 of that for decades, allowing the enemy to gain 00:34:01.650 --> 00:34:04.650 tremendous advancements, taking territory from 00:34:04.650 --> 00:34:08.550 us, from God. Now is the time God is ordering 00:34:08.550 --> 00:34:13.050 us to take it back. The Church has become much 00:34:13.050 --> 00:34:15.929 more of a social gathering place than the Ecclesia 00:34:15.929 --> 00:34:19.090 God always intended it to be. When Jesus said, 00:34:19.150 --> 00:34:22.469 I will build my church, he used the word ecclesia, 00:34:22.829 --> 00:34:25.630 which was fully understood by the people of his 00:34:25.630 --> 00:34:28.670 day to not be a building or a worship service 00:34:28.670 --> 00:34:32.409 or an organization. In fact, ecclesia was not 00:34:32.409 --> 00:34:35.750 a religious word, but a governmental term referencing 00:34:35.750 --> 00:34:38.809 a real -world example of the time which was a 00:34:38.809 --> 00:34:41.590 group of people in position of great influence 00:34:41.590 --> 00:34:45.639 in Athens. Ecclesia refers to an assembly or 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.539 group of people called out from the overall population 00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:52.219 in order to govern. In the time of Jesus, an 00:34:52.219 --> 00:34:55.280 ecclesia played a central role in the political 00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:58.260 life of the city. The ecclesia had the power 00:34:58.260 --> 00:35:01.500 to nominate and elect magistrates who were responsible 00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:04.119 for administering the city's affairs and carrying 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.719 out decisions of the assembly. The Ecclesia also 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.300 had the authority to pass laws and to decide 00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:14.000 on issues related to foreign policy, defense, 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:17.800 and the administration of justice. According 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.179 to study .com, quote, In addition to its legislative 00:35:21.179 --> 00:35:24.300 powers, the Ecclesia also participated in the 00:35:24.300 --> 00:35:27.900 judicial process in Athens. The Ecclesia members 00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:31.159 would try cases involving serious crimes such 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:33.719 as murder, and they would impose punishments. 00:35:33.929 --> 00:35:37.130 This made it an important institution for ensuring 00:35:37.130 --> 00:35:39.730 justice and upholding their rule of law in the 00:35:39.730 --> 00:35:42.630 city. The Ecclesiast's powers and importance 00:35:42.630 --> 00:35:45.429 varied over time, but it remained an important 00:35:45.429 --> 00:35:48.550 part of the political landscape of Athens throughout 00:35:48.550 --> 00:35:52.230 the Classical period into the Hellenistic era." 00:35:52.230 --> 00:35:56.210 So you see how very different Christ meant the 00:35:56.210 --> 00:35:59.980 Church to be than what it has become today? Jesus 00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:02.820 always intended his people to be the primary 00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:06.119 influence of righteousness, upholding God's kingdom 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:10.280 rule and operations in all world affairs, on 00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:13.519 all the seven mountains of society. These very 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:17.820 days we're living are highly significant. I believe 00:36:17.820 --> 00:36:20.579 they are the most important times in God's plan, 00:36:20.980 --> 00:36:23.980 second only to Christ's first advent and his 00:36:23.980 --> 00:36:28.769 second coming. You are alive today. by God's 00:36:28.769 --> 00:36:33.510 design. You have a calling by God, a specific 00:36:33.510 --> 00:36:37.849 role to play in His plans for this very time. 00:36:38.829 --> 00:36:43.230 At this point, you can't simply live your life 00:36:43.230 --> 00:36:47.150 separate from all God is doing. He has made you 00:36:47.150 --> 00:36:50.789 aware of His plans and you are part of His plans. 00:36:51.289 --> 00:36:53.909 For you to fail to step into what God has revealed 00:36:53.909 --> 00:36:56.670 is desired of you. what He has already fully 00:36:56.670 --> 00:37:00.050 equipped and prepared you to do, would mean you 00:37:00.050 --> 00:37:03.309 will be held accountable for disobedience. Now 00:37:03.309 --> 00:37:06.269 I don't say that to condemn you, but to convince 00:37:06.269 --> 00:37:10.630 you of how important you are, how important these 00:37:10.630 --> 00:37:14.329 times are, and how the entire worldwide church 00:37:14.329 --> 00:37:18.710 needs you. We need to become the ecclesia Christ 00:37:18.710 --> 00:37:23.409 always meant us to be. I ask you, to intentionally 00:37:23.409 --> 00:37:26.650 take time with the Lord in prayer, seeking Him 00:37:26.650 --> 00:37:30.710 in any and all ways you need so you can confidently 00:37:30.710 --> 00:37:33.769 step into your God -given purpose for such a 00:37:33.769 --> 00:37:38.349 time as this. And as you do, expect God to anoint 00:37:38.349 --> 00:37:41.369 and bless you, giving you victory in ways you've 00:37:41.369 --> 00:37:44.619 never before experienced. As each of us does 00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:47.820 our part in God's plan, the entire world will 00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:51.340 be blessed and we will see a global transformation 00:37:51.340 --> 00:37:54.420 which I believe is essential in the preparation 00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:58.460 for Christ's return. Next week and the following, 00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:02.920 I'll be on vacation. The first one in 12 years. 00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:06.719 So I will either replay one of my most popular 00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.920 podcasts or bring you a special broadcast. Either 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.659 way you can expect the same level of content 00:38:12.659 --> 00:38:15.940 I always bring you with a deep heart desire for 00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:18.460 all of us to discover and live in life -giving 00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:21.820 truth and experience all the hope truth provides. 00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:25.000 This month of November is the month for us to 00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:27.559 finalize reservations for our ground tour in 00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.960 Greece scheduled for April 2026. If you have 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.119 been thinking of joining us, it's not too late 00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:35.760 to sign up. All we need is your name and the 00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.059 number of people in your party. Confirmations 00:38:38.059 --> 00:38:40.340 and deposits for reservations will be expected 00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:43.199 later this month. We hope to get a group of about 00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:45.340 30 people signed up because this size group is 00:38:45.340 --> 00:38:47.960 best for this type tour. And the more people 00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:50.019 who sign up, the less the trip costs each of 00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:52.800 us. Some who previously signed up have had to 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.099 let me know that their plans changed, which means 00:38:55.099 --> 00:38:58.019 we have more spots available now which we want 00:38:58.019 --> 00:39:00.880 to fill up. At this point, we need you to put 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:03.260 your name on the reservation list and expect 00:39:03.260 --> 00:39:05.860 to pay your first deposit before months end. 00:39:06.539 --> 00:39:08.559 I'll explain more about the process of placing 00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:11.219 your reservation later in this podcast, but I 00:39:11.219 --> 00:39:14.789 urge you don't delay. Now, I ask you to please 00:39:14.789 --> 00:39:16.889 listen to my closing announcements and to take 00:39:16.889 --> 00:39:18.889 advantage of the many goods and services I bring 00:39:18.889 --> 00:39:21.030 you in an effort to at least cover the cost of 00:39:21.030 --> 00:39:23.670 this podcast. The first announcement clarifies 00:39:23.670 --> 00:39:26.250 more about the changes to our Greece tour scheduled 00:39:26.250 --> 00:39:30.329 for April 2026. So once again if you haven't 00:39:30.329 --> 00:39:32.110 signed up to join us and you've been thinking 00:39:32.110 --> 00:39:35.150 about it now is the time. It's hard to believe 00:39:35.150 --> 00:39:37.170 but we're in the month of November when we need 00:39:37.170 --> 00:39:39.730 to finalize the details about our planned ground 00:39:39.730 --> 00:39:44.010 tour in Greece in April 2026. This is the time 00:39:44.010 --> 00:39:46.530 we need to get final commitments with the first 00:39:46.530 --> 00:39:49.139 deposit due by the end of this month. We want 00:39:49.139 --> 00:39:51.320 to have about 30 people total because this size 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.940 group works best for this type tour. We'll be 00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:55.880 walking in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. 00:39:56.269 --> 00:39:58.969 We had nearly 30 people express interest before, 00:39:59.010 --> 00:40:01.289 but some have recently indicated their plans 00:40:01.289 --> 00:40:04.030 have changed, opening up additional spots we 00:40:04.030 --> 00:40:07.030 hope to fill. So if you think you'd like to be 00:40:07.030 --> 00:40:09.349 part of the Faith to Live By Christian Tour with 00:40:09.349 --> 00:40:13.570 me during April 2026, now is the time to commit. 00:40:14.090 --> 00:40:16.309 Attendees need to arrange their own air travel 00:40:16.309 --> 00:40:18.849 to and from the Athens International Airport. 00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.019 Details of the daily agenda during the tour can 00:40:22.019 --> 00:40:25.159 be found on my Beyond the Podcast page.

My aim with that course 00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.199 is to help people learn how not only to use apologetics 00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:04.900 to share truth with others, but to help Christian 00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:08.019 leaders incorporate apologetics into their respective 00:41:08.019 --> 00:41:10.780 ministries so more Christians are learning how 00:41:10.780 --> 00:41:13.059 to share their faith.
