And we're gathered, once again to dive into the Bible and find what the truth of the Bible says about, we're gonna be talking about our culture this time and what, some things that are on our heart about the seven mountain mandate and maybe some of the political, posturing that's going on right now since we are in 2024, and it is a election year for America. And we're gonna have some discussions and hopefully educate some folks out there about Christians who might be a little confused about what's going on in the political realm and what the Bible says and might be leaning towards wanting to take action in our culture today to have some kind of stability and feel stable, but what does the bible say about how to follow the lord and have peace in Christ and look look up and for his redemption draweth nigh. So so thank you pastor for being here again. Thanks for having me. Yeah. I'm excited about talking about these topics and seeing what we have have to share. We've got lots of information that if anybody has not heard of or even looked into the seven mountain mandates, there's quite a few prominent people out there who have pretty strong followings that think this is the right way to conduct ourselves, right way to go. So what are the seven mountains? So we have education, religion, family, business, government slash military, arts, entertainment, and media. So so what does it mean? What does that mean, the seven mountain mandate? Well, they're going in Isaiah two, and they're ultimately want to get us to a place where the church dominates the whole world. And they've misinterpreted as Isaiah two. Isaiah two is the millennium Jesus rule and reigning and, the whole world coming toward him. But dominion theology or kingdom now theology or now seven mountain mandate, it's an effort that Christians would Christianize the world from a point of dominance, where we dominate all those seven pillars mandates that they have there. And once we accomplish that, then it would usher in the return of Christ. And there is no biblical proof for this. It began in the seventies with Lauren Cunningham from Youth With A Mission had a desire from an evangelistic standpoint to be able to permeate more of our culture. And then he compared his notes with Bill Bright Campus Crusade for Christ. And again, a desire to get the gospel into the colleges Into the world around us. And but they were Kind of evangelistic idea. Their bent was evangelistic, but it was also part of political, you know. Empowering. Let's let's let's take control basically. Like a game plan. The the secularists had control of these colleges. Let's not let the secular groups be in control of our colleges. We as Christians, let's let's get in their places of leadership and and equip our students and young people to share the gospel and to spread the gospel in that regard. And then Francis Schaeffer, he too jumped on with a vision of Christians should be more involved in the arts. And so not just paintings, but movies. And so you think in terms of Christian movies, so Mel Gibson with the passion of the Christ, how how powerful that was. Or today, is it actually a Christian effort in the show called The Chosen? How biblical, you know, is that show and what kind of fruit is it bringing and who are the people involved, and that sort of thing. And so anyway that was Frances Schafer in that regard. And then it went to Jerry Falwell and Bob Jones, wanting to maintain a segregation of the schools. White schools, black schools, and they wanted to maintain that their schools would remain white in their white communities. And the federal government said that they were gonna not fund that if they were to try and push that. So Bob Jones and Jerry Falwell went to court and they lost. But they came out of that with their moral majority, the emphasis became abortion. And so being against abortion, and we're gonna try and stop abortions, try and, you know, keep it from happening. So being pro life, and then they became a political movement, the moral majority or the evangelical bloc of voters today that And we you always gotta bring forth a champion who had championed the conservative thinking evangelicals. And so today that, you know, whether it be Ronald Reagan or others, as you're trying to run them as a Republican, one of the main tenets is they're against abortion, against funding of abortion. And every election cycle, you know you've seen the guys talk that they're anti abortion against abortion, sanctity of life. But it continues a downward spiral of more and more babies being aborted, more and more funding to Planned Parenthood, and no stopping it basically. Yeah, didn't really slow it down. Didn't slow it down. So even though they get elected on that platform, nothing really changes. So presently with the Biden administration, and as Rob pointed out, all over the world, all over Europe, there's a huge swell of conservatives that are tired of, the liberal parties. Yeah the Yeah woe and so they're banding together this next election cycle. They're gonna take back Parliament. They're gonna take back Congress and Senate. And so their champion in America is Donald Trump. And Donald Trump the victim. Donald Trump that you better get your hanky out because he lost the, you know, the court case. And and so you have guys like Charlie Kirk and Bill Johnson of Bethel and Paula White who advised president Trump before. You have many evangelicals, people that claim to be evangelicals wanting to ride the popularity of Donald Trump, grab get that voting block, get everybody in there, and, basically, we're not gonna take it anymore. And we're gonna take back Yeah. And here's the seven mandates. Yeah. Here's our action plan. Our action plan. Action plan. Wow. And that's the political effort moving forward as we're watching the tremendous decline of America. And so for many of us, we're asking the question, where is Jesus in all this? Right. Where is where is the bible? Where is scripture? Where what is your, you know, what is your effort based upon scripturally? How can you support this? And so Yeah. What's the movement standing on biblical scriptures Right. That that that says this is the way to go. This is the true pathway to usher in Christ's return. Is that biblically sound at all? No. The the action the the biblical picture is that the church apostatizes Mhmm. That the church reaches the majority of the church. We get the professing church, and then we have the true church. And so within the professing church of Christendom, evangelicals. So this voting block can be Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, all of them, the evangelicals. And and they wanna spread the gospel over the whole world, but in many cases, the gospel has been so diluted in these various groups. Yeah. They present a different Jesus, a different spirit, a different gospel. Social gospel. Yeah. Social gospel, social justice, works, all these things, and seeker sensitive and all these. So you have a watering down, and so the Bible describes it as there'd be a great falling away. Mhmm. In second Thessalonians chapter two verse three, an apostasia. And the apostle Paul in his letters to Timothy and Titus talking about, you know, this falling away. And and so this falling away is a falling away from the truth. Right. That's a good distinction there. It's a rebellion against God. Not from believing in Christ, but believing Christ in the true Christ from the bible. To Not your make believe To stand for truth, to stand for righteousness gonna cost you. Mhmm. But we're watching evangelicals, the church, be more in love with America and more in love with the world and the things of the world as we've come through a in the era of prosperity like never before in the history of the world. So the thought of the collapse of America, the collapse of the dollar, the collapse of the economy, the one world health system they're trying to implement, the one world governmental system, the one world economic system. People are hearing this and they're hearing guys like World Economic Forum Claus Schwab say, you're gonna owe nothing and be happy. They're watching the World Health Organization try to make treaties to take over our health system. Yeah, even in America. And enforce vaccines and jabs on our children all the way up. Over And 50 of them, 60 of them are our children. And we've seen the genocide that's played out and their champion is with this audacity, he's even got his own bible, is Donald J Trump. Right. And my mind is like blown. How can you take the warp speed jab guy and make him your champion that's going to take back the country and make America great and get rid of all these bad know, Democrats and all. Yeah. And yet the Republican party did absolutely nothing Yeah. It was silent. Expose the stolen election, the previous election. Yeah. And then these these people have the audacity of saying there aren't enough Christians that vote. No. That's not the problem. The Christians vote overwhelmingly. The Diebold machines, the Dominion machines, the, you know, the My my my ballots and such. My ballot was in some dumpster somewhere because Yeah. We saw that. But no correction. No correction by the public expose any evil. So where I'm coming from is Ephesians five verse 11 says, have no fellowship the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them Yeah. Until we expose the evil, until we expose the lies. Yeah. Someone stands up and says, I was wrong. We cannot build upon lies. Yeah. We cannot. We cannot build upon lies going forward. So it really is a spiritual problem where the church, those in the pulpits, the leadership needs to call the people not to run for school board and run for county commissioner and run for this and run for that to get the country back. Needs to call the nation to repentance and to stand upon truth and expose the lies. The lies have to be exposed. These liars need to be exposed. You can't give them a free pass and think that you're gonna be able to build on lies. Exactly. So I I was reading I was reading about Paula White in one of the articles that was describing the ones who are Who's Paula White? Paula White is a pastor of and he is and she is the president Trump's spiritual adviser. And that when he was president, he he chose her. And actually, I I saw a documentary on YouTube about Paula White, and I'll put the link in in when I post this. But it's quite fascinating. I believe that they they met back in 2002. So they had a friendship and a interesting dialogue between each other for many years before he ran for president. But Paula White, here's one of the things that she was quoted to say. And she believes in, I believe, the seven mountain mandate also which, you know, taking back the the country, the education, the government. So she she know know very well known in in that kind of, circles. But the seven mountain mandate, it says here, Paula White, was the spiritual adviser for president Trump and had access to the White House. White has said any number of nutty things including, I saw Trump riding a golden horse alongside Jesus during Armageddon. That was that was was found in the Business Standard News, 01/08/2020. So interesting that she had a vision. On a She had a a horse. Yeah. She on a golden horse along riding a golden horse alongside Jesus during Armageddon. Wow. He was not just riding a horse it was a golden horse. Yeah. So amazing. Yeah. And and yet we see in Revelation 19 that Jesus comes back to the earth and Jude tells us with 10 thousands and thousands of the saints and he comes back and, you know, with a in his glory, with the Shekinah glory. And then Luke chapter excuse me, second Thessalonians two says that he destroys the Antichrist at Armageddon with the sword of his mouth and the brightness of his coming. Yeah. He doesn't need help from Donald Trump nor any of us in the church. None of us are there to help him. We're there, you know, coming back with him. With him. After having been raptured. And the Watch end of the tribulation period. And we're coming back as he, intervenes to save, the nation of Israel. The sad thing about this is people are so enamored, so in love with, so focused on the idol of America that they can't see the truth. Yeah. They can't see it. It's it's a strong delusion that's come over. And a lot of people don't want to talk about the truth because there's so much, things going on in the world today that's moving so quickly with the with Russia and Ukraine and our economy with gripped in fear of what might be coming so they don't want to even talk about it. Let's talk about child trafficking the open border that has brought in 40,000,000 illegal immigrants into our country and how are just that alone is gonna destroy our age. In military age. That alone is gonna destroy the economy. Who's gonna take care of these people? They're put in hotels at $2,500 a bleeding money. And they're using NGOs. They're using Israeli Israel Family Council, the Catholic Family Council, know, Christian NGOs to administer these monies to bring these guys in and prepare them. What are they preparing them for? War? Right. You know, are these guys gonna be unleashed upon, you know, us are are we even gonna make it to the elections? That's what was gonna say. We gonna ask that question? The global is gonna use war, you know, to They have many fronts going on right now. Yeah. It's either war, the dollar not being the de facto currency anymore, the CBDC changing our money over to no longer cash, having that become central bank digital currency. So there's a lot of change going on and it's moving really really fast and we are we are only months away election. So 2024 is pretty crucial for what's going to happen and it's pretty heightened on many, many fronts across the whole world. Yes. And on June the ninth, Sunday, Saudi Arabia got out of they neglected to move forward with the petro dollar agreement that they have with America that they would purchase or they'd sell their oil in denominations of the dollar. Oh. So they're out of that now. And so you're watching the BRIC nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, And it's gaining Momentum? Momentum with more and more countries jumping on, moving away from the dollar, jumping on the new system. And then our country, we're moving in the direction of everybody receiving an identification. A digital ID. Digital ID and a digital currency, and that's where the world's going. Yeah. So I don't Getting ready for the the the reset. Yeah. And if the the great reset If the dollar collapses, we as Americans will won't know what hit us. Yeah. How are we gonna handle it? And and that's where I believe if Donald Trump is elected, if he's appointed by the globalist, he's gonna be the mouthpiece to the evangelicals, to the Americans to comply just as he was with the warp speed jab, which he was the salesman for. Yeah. Which is a genocide and he takes no there's no accountability in that regard. No. So I I I believe that there's a chance if we don't go to war and wipe everything out, that if America were to continue to an election and he elected, that the dollar, it's crashing. And he's going to be the salesman for, getting Americans to believe in the digital currency, the new central bank digital go. And a digital ID. Everybody needs a digital ID because after all, look at all these illegal aliens that are here. We need to know who's an American. You know? Yeah. And try to protect ourselves now Yeah. Is the only way is to But access to this new banking system. Yeah. So I I can see where he's gonna be the wizard. He's gonna be the guy that sells this whole new system to everybody. And in America, it's gonna cease to exist as we know it biblically, because we're going toward globalism. We're not gonna be this dominant global empire anymore. So how's that happen? Well, first and foremost, it happens with the crash of the dollar. Right. Because we won't be able to spend Yeah. More money on our military than all the other nations combined. Right. So that's gonna be huge. It's funny. I was listening back when you were teaching preaching on Revelation, And I think it was back in right when COVID started twenty twenty twenty nineteen and maybe into 2020. And you were saying the same thing that the dollar has to go down, but you just we didn't we hadn't experienced all the things that we've experienced now up to this point. So It's going down. What? Why? It's in the process. Fascinating that is is going faster and faster and faster. It's accelerating. Yeah. And the and the pedophilia and the human trafficking is now very verbalized and not in the mainstream media but on redacted and different people who are awake and not woke but they are actually awake and wanting to know the truth. And it's very sad to have that children, so many children being abused right under our nose in our country and our government is one of the main traffickers funding it. So do you think about the Russian move on putting ships in Cuba? I think it's a sign of the times of the treasonous act of our government of surrendering to the globalists, surrendering to globalism, surrendering to China, allowing China to buy up all of our farmland, allowing Russia to be right there in Cuba. And I believe I believe Russia is I grew up at a time where where we always had to have a boogeyman. And the media convinced me that these boogeyman, you know, we had mutually assured destruction with Russia. So the nuclear armaments and such. And as I've gotten older, you start to realize that the same globalist that bankers, the Rothschilds and the banking groups that that control America, control Russia, control China. Mhmm. And so China can't come out of the bottom without help from Western bankers, you know, with the Rothschild's help and all them, and so too with Russia. So the way I look at Russia now is they abandoned communism. Right. And they are they are moving in a direction back to their roots Mhmm. Of reestablishing Christian values, you know, all over Russia. So I look at the whole Ukraine double call, and I see Russia having to protect the Russian speaking Ukrainians. And for some reason our crazy government wants to escalate this thing. It could have been over a long time ago. Yeah. To the point of nukes, talking about nukes and such. I look at it as what choice does Russia have? You know, if they if they stand down crazy Biden and NATO and Zelensky and all these people, what are they gonna do? So anyway, I believe it's leading toward war. Jesus said wars and rumors of wars. Right. And when the economy crashes, the globalists love to use wars. Wars make a lot of money. Wars also remove all of with the witnesses and all of the whistleblowers, and it and it just makes a whole new slate where Yeah. Levels the playing field. Where Roosevelt and Stalin and, you know, and the leaders can sit at a table and then divide up the spoils of of the victory. Right. And that's where I see America gonna go down and then they'll divide the world into 10 regions. I was gonna say, how does this lead into because this is 10 really the plan regions. Yeah. That God has already established and written down in very very Yeah. In detail in the Bible. Daniel seven, Revelation 13, Revelation 17 says they're gonna be ten ten toes, 10 horns, 10 crowns, 10 kings. Yeah. And these 10 kings, one king over a region, and America will become a part of the North American Union is what they used to call it. Yeah. And so it'd be Canada, no borders, Canada, America, you know, South America, Central America, and just one of the 10. So no more America being the dominant global empire. And no borders. Right. No borders, nothing. And then a global digital identification, a global digital currency. So that's the future. That's globalism. Yeah that's the future. And that lends itself right into the Antichrist in a one ruler, one world ruler. So you know we thought years ago how could that possibly ever happen? And we're watching the playing field being laid out right now for it to happen. Right? Yeah. And many, many feel, many commentators feel that part of the kings could very well be technocrats. Could be like the leader of Google, know. Wow. Could be the leader like Bill Gates. Some of these kind of guys, these technocrats could gain bankers, could gain Well, should imposter themselves. Be the king like that because that's who they wanna be. Like Bill Gates. And so there's a bankruptcy in the world of leadership. And so that's setting the stage for the Antichrist to come along with solutions to the problems that the world is fast heading toward. The Bible says there there'd be perplexity of nations no way out and men's hearts failing them for fear during the tribulation period. But presently where I think we're at is what's called the birth pangs. We're in the birth pangs and the birth pangs are accelerating toward the tribulation period. So when we're looking at Matthew 24 and Jesus says, let no man take heed, that no man deceive you. And four times he talks about deception. The greatest thing that's taking place now is deception. The enemy's presenting a way out of this collapse Yeah. Which is vote for Donald Trump Yeah. Which is a lie. You're not gonna save the planet. Gonna be able to be the savior of America. He had the house to send the presidency before. Right. He didn't drain the swamp. He didn't get anything done that's lasting. And the thing that people have forgotten about is he's the father of the warp speed jab Right. Which is truly a Christian? Well, don't know that. We don't know that. I don't. In second Corinthians chapter 11 He has his own bible. What do you mean? He's got his own bible. Yeah. Second Corinthians 11, Paul talks about how Satan can manifest himself as an angel of light Mhmm. A minister of righteousness. Yeah. Like you said, he's got the Trump bible now. They put a inscription of him of Cyrus on a coin for Israel. Oh, that's true. You know? Remember that. So Paula Paula White's got him riding a golden horse. I mean, if those aren't alarm bells Co going off savior. You know? If if you don't have alarm bells going off, I mean, what what what are you thinking? Well, and some of the reasons why there's not a whole lot of alarm bells going off is we were sold the Rick Warren less bible and more community action. Right? Community service. More people in the church building if you're born again or not because we want to evangelize like we were saying the evangelize but with less of the bible without without knowing the bible and what what but what does the bible say about from Genesis to Revelation Having a working knowledge of the full counsel of God, which is not having that is detrimental to our understanding of what's happening right now in the world. Right. Instead they're leaning towards that seven mountain mandate which is trying to control the world, influence the culture and become co partner with God so he can come back and usher usher him in. And forget the rapture, you know, don't don't even don't even consider that because that's not right. Right. And and in John chapter 18 verse 36, Jesus said, my kingdom's not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, Pilate, then my servants would come and fight. You know? Oh, there you go. Looks like this seventh hill thing is there's an emphasis on fighting and trying to get back what what, you know, they think they've lost. Yeah. And the spiritual side of it is you never hear the word repentance. Right. You never hear the country or leadership take stock of how wicked we are, how evil we are. But they talk about how special we are Yeah. As Christians or or confession of faith, a confession of How corrupt we've become. Yeah. So there's no call to repentance. Instead, there's a call to go vote and get this guy in, and he's gonna enforce these seven, you know, hills, these seven mandates. But here's what I wanted to read Mhmm. In regard to what you just said about the dummying down of the church. There's a famine in the land for the word of God. As Rick Warren coined the phrase, it's not it's not creeds, which means teaching, it's deeds. And so his emphasis was upon social justice about doing good, you know, in the community. And he said, you don't need to teach any prophecy because it's none of your business when Jesus returns. And so we've had over twenty years of soft sell Christianity. But in Hebrews chapter five, the writer says, I believe it's Paul, he says, for when the time that ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again, which be the first principles of the oracles of God, and it becomes such as have need of milk and not of strong meat. So what that means is people that we know, people in our community who've been Christians for over twenty years, twenty five years, they're still sucking on the bottle. Yeah. They're still taking milk. Mhmm. And Paul's saying here in Hebrews, by now you should be teachers. Right. You should have grown up. Yeah. But you didn't grow up because your pastors didn't feed you the word of God. They didn't give you the full counsel of God. So then he says, for everyone that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness for he is a babe. And so we need to stand for righteousness. But if you don't know the word of righteousness Right. Then you're seduced by these big ideas, the doctrines of demons such easily deceived. And here we go. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even to those by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Oh, There you go. Why can Donald Trump get away with it? Why can these false prophets get away with these things, these lies? Because the church doesn't have the ability to discern between good And and COVID is an example of that. Yeah. Of how the churches became so divided in their inability to discern between truth and a lie. And a falsehood. Yep. Yep. And so now all these years later, here we are. And what? We're gonna go do it again? We're gonna bring the bird flu in? Yeah. We're gonna bring vaccines in? We're gonna bring Donald in? Yeah. I mean, it's mind boggling to me the incredible lack of discernment. Mhmm. Yeah. It's it's amazing how how you can not be able to navigate in a world that when believers should be the ones who do know the truth they can easily discern what a truth is compared to a lie. Then the Holy Spirit helps us you know be salt and light in a world that is so corrupt. We should be there and not like it was saying in Hebrews still drinking milk and not equipped to be able to discern anything. That's a great scripture for identifying what's happened of why the church lacks discernment. And how? Because the church doesn't have the word of God. They don't have a working knowledge of the scripture Yeah. With the help of the holy spirit to discern between good and evil. We're easily deceived. That's why the show Be not deceived. Be not deceived. The devil's greatest weapon is his deception. If you know the truth Jesus said the truth will set you free and keep you free. Yep. So you gotta know the truth. You gotta earnestly contend for the faith. Yeah. You gotta fight for truth. You gotta fight for righteousness. Right. And stand. You know stand. And you know I wanted to point out that Bill Johnson and Bethel and that movement of the NAR and and wanting more thinking that if you go there and start learning at that school and going to that church, That you're going to be more equipped. And it really is a deception because that's not what's happening. They're teaching a false gospel. They're proclaiming false scripture. They do not believe in the rapture. They are going off of emotions and similar to the kundalini spirit which is mysticism. Practicing a lot of things and really destroying a lot of the young people out there who might have a desire to draw closer to the Lord but they've been in churches that are not giving them the word of God and teaching them and giving them the whole counsel of the word. So then they are seeking somewhere else that looks more spiritual, more exciting. And it's a deception, it's a lie. They are not biblically sound. Don't fall into it. It is not what the Bible says how to be a Christian, how to be a believer with the fire walks and the and Fire tunnels. Tunnels and the feathers falling, you know, coming down and seeking after a sign. A new apostolic. They think they're present day apostles too. Haven't seen the resurrected Christ but they they think they qualify as apostles. New apostolic reformation. What are they reforming? What are they gonna reform? America? Yeah. Gonna reform the world? Well it sounds like any of those reformers which are going away from biblical truth into something more or better. So like the Seventh day Adventists did that, the Mormons, all the cults out there came there. A lot of their statements were I didn't like what I was hearing when I went to church so God has given me something better, a reformed way of believing and it's really just a deception of the devil. Right? Yeah. Yeah. They have a different Jesus, a different spirit, a different gospel, twisting and such. And and again, the the the focus is not heaven, not the return of Christ, the rapture of the church, the blessed hope. That's not the focus. Mhmm. The focus is America. Yeah. Humanism. What can we do? It's secularism. It's it's trying to gain enough power that that we can enforce upon the planet, you know, our mandates. And it's rooted in self. Yeah. It's self aggrandizement. It's a selfish approach. No suffering. No self denial. No taking your cross up. What's the lord say? Is it is it supposed to be self? Is that what he calls us to do? Is inward inward reflection, inward everything? No. What does he say? He says, crucify the flesh. Take up my his cross and follow him, not what can I do to empower Christ? Does he need us to empower him? No. He doesn't need us. He doesn't he we're to worship him. We're to follow him. You know, the exclusivity of Jesus Christ, he's the only way. Amen. We're watching the churches wimp out and start to say there's a bunch of other ways. We're watching the churches wimp out concerning, you know, gay marriage and, genders. Can't even call, you know, children who god made them a boy or a girl anymore. The confusion about whether someone's male or female and and we're watching the churches give in to the whole LBGTQ agenda and the effort by the wicked one is to sow incredibly corrupt the church. The church has no power. Right. There's absolutely no power. So I do agree with being salt and light as Jesus said, you're the salt of the earth, you're a light, You're a city set on a hill. And so we know that salt is a means of staving off putrefaction. Mhmm. So when he says you're the salt of the earth, he says, church, when you're on fire and you're following me and living for me, you're preserving the corruption around you. You're keeping it from corrupting so rapidly. Right. You're preserving influence, being an influencer on Instagram or Facebook or whatever. And then light, light exposes darkness. And so the cockroaches, if the light's shining they have to go hide. But if the church doesn't know the truth, if the church's not standing for the truth, then the wicked one are able to get away with their lies. And lies are the key component. The propaganda, the media, the lies that creep even creep into the church with the false doctrines and such. The way they're able to forward their false agenda. Mhmm. And so the solution is more truth. Instincts the word. Expose the lie. More Shine the light and and be salt light. So being salt isn't just voting. Being salt is standing against evil. Amen. Standing against, anybody that would posture themselves as being a savior, and they're going to be able to make America great. And yet he's the father of the Warp Speed Jab. A leader in Japan this past week is apologizing to his country, for what's happened. Over in Europe, they have leaders. Doctor. Vernon Coleman laid out a really nice Yeah. He's banned on everything. Chronological expose on the effects of the mRNA vaccine and such, but you can hear a peep among the voters. The voters don't care about it. It's like we're moving on now. We got we got the Donald. The Donald's gonna lead us to, you know, nirvana. We're gonna get America back. We're get we're not gonna lose our pensions. We're not gonna lose our social security. We get to keep our houses. Klaus Schwab is wrong. The Donald's gonna lead us there, and yet the reality is 36,000,000,000,000 in debt. They're purposely spending the They're purposely spending the dollar to crash it. Right. It's in motion. It's crashing right now. Fast. It's crashing right now. It is. And and so you're watching you're watching governments like China and Russia and stuff buy as much gold as they possibly can Yes. Intangible assets. So if really it's the love of money is the root of all evil Mhmm. And the people are wanting to hold on to their money and Donald Trump represents that money Yeah. He's gonna let me hold on to it. You're being deceived. Yeah. You're being deceived. It's crashing. Mhmm. You see what I mean? Yep. I do. You know, was gonna say too another like you've said before, you don't know what flavor you are until you're put in hot water. You know? How do Christians respond to difficulties, pressures, the world around us, what decision to make. If we are in the word and we're being taught and we're being counseled by the word of God, it teaches us that we depend on him. We don't go to pharmakia, we don't. And then people we don't peep and then the world is watching. How are they handling? How are the Christians handling the enormous amount of stress that comes at you every day or the decisions that you That's a good question. So here's the here's the strategy of the wicked one. The devil wants the world to depend upon government. There you go. So Donald j Trump Your money and government. Government. Mhmm. And so replace God with government. So the government will take care of me from the wound of the tomb. So as things wax worse and worse, people are gonna be looking to the government to take care of them. When the government collapses and the government systems collapse, people are gonna be faced with a reality that they never thought could happen. It just blows their mind that that could ever happen. So you're gonna have professing Christians committing suicide who are already committing suicide, professing Christians. And you're gonna see numerable multitudes of people looking to psychotropic drugs, Melting down. And and self medicating and alcohol. Mhmm. And whatever else they can do to what we would call cope. Yeah. What we've been trying to encourage people is rely upon Jesus. Rely upon him. Every trial the Lord gives you is a test, is is an equipping so that when things happen in your life that you're not in control of, you learn to walk by faith not by sight. You learn to rely upon Jesus, that he'll give you the wisdom, and that he'll provide, that he'll heal, that he'll like the book of acts, you know, a dependency upon him. Right. So the early church couldn't depend upon the Roman government. They they were not they were not treated well by Right. By the Roman government. They had to depend upon Jesus, and as a church they helped each other, and they worked as a community, they worked as a the ecclesia, those called out from the world. And many of them, 6,000,000 of them died in the first two centuries of the church because all they had to do once a year was pinch incense and say Caesar is Lord. See that They refused to do it. They refused to say Caesar is Lord. They said government you've gone too far. You know we'll obey the laws but you've gone too far when you compel us to worship Caesar. We're not gonna worship Caesar. Right. And so then the the Roman government, 10 waves of Roman Emperors, the system of martyrdom of martyring of executing Christians. And so and that to me illustrates what's happening today. You're gonna choose between Jesus or Barabbas. You're gonna choose. You get to choose. Pilate's gonna let you choose and I'm exhorting people to choose Jesus. Exhorting them to come to the place of repentance. And who knows if you if you really want a solution for America, the only solution I see biblically is the solution of Nineveh. When God told Jonah to tell the Ninevites, you've got forty days or you're gonna perish. And from the king on down, they all repented. That's amazing. They didn't restructure their government. They didn't change to get a new person to lead. Yeah. They recognized their sinfulness. It hit them. And from the king on down, they repented, sackcloth and ashes. And God gave a reprieve to the Ninevites of over a hundred years before he came back and finally judged them when they're ripe for judgment. So what's holding back the tide of evil presently is the church in the world today. And the Bible calls it in second Thessalonians two, a restraining influence. So we're salt, we're light, we're also with the help of the Holy Spirit, we're restraining evil. Evil, you can see Can only look so far. See they can they wanna just dominate. They want to bring so badly. And so I believe the Lord, you know, part of the solution is the rapture of the church. Yeah. When we're raptured out, they're gonna be able to go with an an abandoned toward evil that they've never been able to do before. So the times are getting more and more evil Yeah. The times we're living in as as the I feel it. System beast system is there. And that's the birth pang as you see that. And so I believe there's a huge deception taking place as people in America are looking to Donald Trump to save them, the evangelicals, rather than prophetically understanding the time clock, understanding the times we're living in Mhmm. And that it's time to look up. Amen. It's time to get ready. So Yep. As far as coping, as far as being able to see what we're made of, I call it the way to live is Matthew six. We'll teach you Matthew six. And the heathens are concerned about what they're gonna eat, what they're gonna drink, what they're gonna wear. Yeah. They're consumed with it. And Jesus taught in Matthew six to seek first the kingdom of God and all these other things will be added unto you. So don't look to man. Vain is the help of man. Look to Jesus. Keep looking to Jesus. Keep looking up. He's the author and the finisher of our faith. And don't get caught up by these false prophets, false doctrines, different ways. What's the new what's the latest thing they're calling the DEI? Diversity, equity, and inclusion. Oh. Is their phrase. Diversity, equity, inclusion for the gay and lesbians for for their lifestyle. They want they want to impose diversity, equity, and inclusion. They wanna be inclusion. Well, we're here to let you know that Jesus is the only way. Yeah. It's called exclusivity. There's no other way. Yep. And that makes people angry because they want all groups of people, everybody to be admitted into heaven because they think so. Yeah. But Jesus said, no man come to the father but by me. He's the only way. He's the only way. He's the way way the truth and the life and no other way except No other way. Yep. Amen. Well, I I think it's fascinating that that we've got such a huge amount of seven, you know all all these all these very prominent people that we were talking about that call themselves Christians and and they're really buying into the seven mountain mandate and thinking that they're they're doing a good thing. And thank you for showing us you know kind of that timeline of how it kind of started moving you know YWAM and into the moral majority and how it's just grown into this Bethel movement and all the different ones who you know, really bought into this and it's it's not biblically sound. It's a work of the flesh. Yeah. And it's it's destined to failure as a result of the work of the flesh. It's not by might nor by power but by my spirit said the Lord of hosts. There needs to be a work of God's holy spirit. Not a false spiritual thing of the NAR. Mhmm. A true radical moving and working of the Holy Spirit within the church that the church would be so salty Mhmm. And so bright and lit up that we'd no longer be lukewarm like the Laodicean church that says I'm rich and increased with goods in need of nothing. Yeah. That's where we're at. I they're saying I'm rich and increased with goods in need of nothing. And where's Jesus? He's been kicked out of his church. Yeah. And the that's church outside of the door. And the Laodiceans are looking to Donald Trump to get them more riches, crease with goods Blessed and and And Jesus said, you're delusional, you Laodiceans. Mhmm. And Laodicea, it means people rule. And he said he'd rather they were hot or cold, but since they're lukewarm, they make them sick, spew them out. But he says no, because you're so delusional, he said you're naked, poor, blind and miserable. That's your true condition. Yeah. But we think we're so exceptional and that we're going to be in charge and usher in, you know It's like a false hype. World sit you know, the messianic age that Jesus is gonna come once we gain control of everything. It's delusional. We're delusional. Right? Yeah. That's that's a delusional philosophy or or direction. Right. And and so You just can't. Boggling to me that, quote, unquote, the voting block in America, the evangelicals are falling into it. Right. And Yeah. Interesting. So here's the question that'll come up. Well, who are gonna vote for? Yeah. Yeah. You're gonna vote for the lesser of the two evils? You know? Who are gonna vote for? Yeah. And I'm voting for Jesus. I know. So so what do you mean though? What do you mean when you you're voting for Jesus? What do I mean? I mean, I'm gonna put him first and stand for righteousness. I'm gonna trust that he'll if he wants America to continue, that he will present a viable candidate. Yeah. Because I'm not going to vote for mister Warpsby Jad. I am not going to compromise the truth and ethics and you you it's idolatry. It's like I would only be trying to use Trump to get what I want. You know? It's a me centered thing. Yeah. There's no standing for righteousness. Yeah. You know? If we even get to the election. Yeah. Right? If we even get there. I I think they're they've got civil war. They've got collapse. They've got wars and rumors of wars. All sorts of famine. God, all the food that they're destroying. Right. I mean, there's so many things in play. It's crazy. Only Jesus can save us. Amen. I'm waiting. I'm ready. Come on, Lord. That's where my hope is. Yeah. We're looking up. And the worst that they can do to me is kill me and to be asked when the bodies be present with the Lord. Amen. So I don't fear men. I don't fear the threat of death. Jesus said don't fear him who can kill the body, but rather fear him who can not only kill your body but cast your soul into hell. Yeah. I know I'm going to heaven. Don't fear going to hell. Exactly. And I wanna I want to honor Jesus. I want to reverence him as Almighty God, know? Yeah. And I don't want to lower him, diminish him, and be snookered, be deceived into trusting in men, especially the caliber of leaders we have now Right. The caliber of men we have now and women. I mean, give me a break. Yeah. It we've we've sunk to a to a new low. Yeah. We've sunk to a new low. So am I a pessimist or an optimist? You know? Oh, well I'm a As believers, we're optimists. Realist? Because we are we have a blessed hope. You know? Right? Well, I know, but they'll they'll say, oh, he's pessimistic. Oh, he did you know, he doesn't think he thinks it's over, you know, that doesn't sell. Are you an optimist? Oh, yeah. We'll for him. Everything's gonna be great. No. I'm a realist. Yeah. I'm looking at scripture. I'm looking at the time frame. I'm looking at the things that are happening, and I I I don't want to give in to lies. You know, that's the thing is is is when you you draw closer to the Lord and you see how he responds to lies and deception from the false prophets in the Old Testament and even people who come along and try to deceive in the New Testament believers into buying into needing to be circumcised. There's always somebody's idea out there that tries to creep in like the the tears among the wheat. To figure out what is the truth and desire to want to be truthful in what you do and you live and then how you what you what you receive in as we're flooded with all sorts of craziness out there in the world. You know, like, what diversity, you know, that Diversity, inclusion is their new mantra. Yeah. So so it's it's it's it's very important for us to be people of the truth of the truth Absolutely. And the and the biblical truth. And then to to be study students of the truth of the of the word of God which is so amazing. I think you know God is very serious about about the truth because he is the way, the truth, the life. That's and that's our message as as people lose hope, as people become suicidal, as they as they recognize they've been deceived, the glorious gospel, the stage is set for you and I, for us, to share the good news of Jesus. It's amazing how Jesus wants to forgive them of their sins. Yeah. Yeah. But Jesus wants to give them eternal life. Amen. That that Jesus has gone to prayer a place for him, you know. That's where our hope is not to against us. Absolutely. And he's he's he has a he has a a salvation plan for you. I mean, you don't you don't have to be stuck in this deception and and this this world of lukewarmness even in the church. You can surrender unto the Lord and give your heart to Jesus because he paid the price for you. All you have to do is receive his gift, his free gift. Amen. And That's her mercy. And be born again. It the time is so short. Time is so short. Amen. That's why we do this right here. So the the good news of the gospel can go out and be be seek seekers of the word of god, dive start in John, the book of John, and and you'll find out who Jesus is right away in the first chapter, and and then you'll find out what he's done for you. So please read John and then keep reading, keep keep seeking, surrender, repent. All you have to say is I'm a sinner and you you died on the cross for me and I receive your gift and just surrender your heart unto him and he will come in. What's what do you always say he comes upon beside you? The holy spirit comes within and upon with to convict of sin. So all of sin come short of the glory of God, and then The holy spirit right here. Death, but the gift of God's eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Mhmm. And and whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. So God commend his love towards us and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. So the Philippian jailer says, what must I do to be saved? Mhmm. And, you know, Paul with, Silas there says, believe. So faith, the devils the devils, the demons know that Jesus is real. The demons know that God's real. No such thing as an atheist. But saving faith is a dependency upon Jesus. It's turning from our sins and we cry out God be merciful to me a sinner. And as we do that God is merciful. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. Grace is his unmerited favor where he gives us as a free gift eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So when you call upon the name of the Lord, whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord, God be merciful to me a sinner, he hears that prayer of the unbeliever and he responds by sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within you. So with, in, you're born again, and upon is the empowering as God has, chosen you and called you to serve him. He's gonna give you the power of the Holy Spirit, to find your place within the body to serve him for his kingdom, for his glory, and for the edification of the body of Christ. Amen. I was gonna read through John three sixteen because There you go. That's just powerful salvation here. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only son. This is the verdict. Light has come into the world, but people love darkness instead of light because their deeds were right, but whoever lives by the truth comes into the light so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been has been done in the sight of God. So you all you have to do is believe in Jesus, and he and he is not here to condemn but to set you free set you free from the bondage of sin and death. Right? You don't have to stay there. But you're condemned already because if you don't surrender, if you don't believe, you're already condemned. But Jesus says you don't have to stay that way. All you have to do is believe. I just call you to do that. That's our message today. Seek the truth and surrender. Amen. Right? Amen. Well, thank you pastor for coming. Be not deceived. Don't don't be deceived. Thanks for having me. Surrender surrender your heart today. Hopefully, stirred up a hornet's nest. We're gonna be we're gonna be hated for this one. Really? Very, very few people will understand what we're saying. I I believe Donald j Trump losing that court case was absolute genius Right. To Masterful. To yeah, to masterful to gain sympathy and and the to call the troops, the evangelicals, to take charge that we're gonna take this country back. You know? I think it was genius from a, from an election standpoint. Right. From a strategy standpoint. Right. So, so we'll continue doing, our podcast and, and be not deceived. So, look out for the next one, and I thank you again for being here. Thanks, Adam. And, and letting us, dive into the word and lead people, to the glorious gospel of salvation. And that is, what we're supposed to do salt and light. Amen. Alright. Thank you. Thank you.
