"They'd Never Lie to Me" RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole
They'd never lie to me. Or would they? How gullible to think people would never lie to me.
We grant blanket immunity and undeserved credibility to trust certain people because of their position. We must look at character, integrity, and the fruit of the Spirit in discerning the safety of the people we are trusting. But telling lies is not as dangerous as believing those lies.
We are to be His witnesses. We have been trained to have to go to some intermediary to figure out what is going on with our lives, our body, our churches, and our government.
What is the solution to this fearful position where we just accept the lies as the truth, content to be cooked alive in the kettle of deception?
Jesus said, repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. He is drawing near. Humble ourselves and ask God to forgive us for believing the lies and allowing them to rule in our lives.

00:00.848 --> 00:05.131
I have an emergency. What is your location?
00:26.546 --> 00:30.350
'Cause there's a war for your soul. Oh, indeed there
00:30.398 --> 00:33.640
is a war for our souls. I'm sure most of you have already kind
00:34.140 --> 00:37.572
of experienced that in the last couple of days, weeks, months, lifetimes.
00:38.519 --> 00:41.745
Lord, it's here. It's on us. It's upon us. It's everywhere.
00:42.516 --> 00:45.437
And so we're not denying this war anymore. We're actually going to have to deal
00:45.485 --> 00:48.984
with it now, Lord God. And so I thank you, Father, for giving
00:49.096 --> 00:53.093
us your wisdom and open eyes and hearts to understand
00:53.125 --> 00:56.577
not only what is going on, but what has happened and what
00:57.077 --> 01:00.720
has taken place because of our complacency,
01:00.816 --> 01:04.574
because of fear, blindness, distractions, and all other kinds of things that we have been
01:04.606 --> 01:08.058
so busy doing in our lives that have nothing to do basically with
01:08.122 --> 01:11.623
life. Forgive us, Lord God, lead us not into temptation,
01:11.655 --> 01:14.416
deliver us from the evil one. Let thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
01:14.465 --> 01:17.339
You said repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.
01:17.932 --> 01:21.718
And we thank you, Lord, for that admonition, which is a lifesaver.
01:21.766 --> 01:25.119
Father, you are real. You are coming back and there's no turning
01:25.151 --> 01:28.407
back. So Lord, I pray that you protect everyone who's listening. Give us eyes
01:28.439 --> 01:31.391
to see, ears to hear, and a heart to be encouraged to speak up,
01:31.407 --> 01:35.658
stand up, and, and, and send this broadcast where
01:36.158 --> 01:39.171
it needs to go and to help the people, help all of us, protect all
01:39.671 --> 01:42.139
of us, Lord God, that no weapon formed against us will prosper, Father God.
01:42.700 --> 01:46.510
And we ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen. You know, here's my thought,
01:47.010 --> 01:50.050
my question, Jerry. And I know you've got the first scripture, but here's the title
01:50.550 --> 01:53.470
of the show. They'd Never Lie to Me.
01:53.970 --> 01:56.130
They'd Never Lie to Me. Crawling in bed last night, I said, God, what are
01:56.630 --> 01:59.830
we talking about? He says, they'd never lie to me. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's what
02:00.330 --> 02:03.870
we're talking about today. So fasten your seatbelts. You may not like this. That's,
02:04.370 --> 02:07.610
that's in itself a deception to think that they'd never lie to me. Well,
02:08.110 --> 02:12.330
that's the point. That's the point. That's the gullible naivety.
02:12.830 --> 02:16.284
Jeremiah chapter 9, verse 3. And then reading verses 5 and
02:16.784 --> 02:20.867
6. And like their bow, they have bent their tongues for
02:21.367 --> 02:25.098
lies. They are not valiant for the truth on the earth, for they proceed
02:25.598 --> 02:28.591
from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says the Lord.
02:29.184 --> 02:32.117
And then verseâ verses 5 and 6, Jeremiah 9.
02:32.886 --> 02:36.235
Everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the
02:36.735 --> 02:42.132
truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies and
02:42.632 --> 02:46.317
They weary themselves to commit iniquity. Your dwelling place is in the midst
02:46.381 --> 02:49.945
of deceit. Through deceit they refuse
02:49.977 --> 02:52.910
to know me, says the Lord. I just want to read part of one more
02:53.023 --> 02:54.457
in Amos chapter 2,
02:56.447 --> 03:00.167
verse 4. Because they have despised the law of the
03:00.667 --> 03:04.965
Lord, or the word of the Lord, and have not kept his commandments, their lies
03:05.400 --> 03:08.474
lead them astray. Lies which their
03:08.974 --> 03:12.207
fathers followed. Right. And this has been the path.
03:12.415 --> 03:16.885
It's a deceptive path that looks okay, looks straight.
03:17.286 --> 03:21.404
It looks safe for now. And so we've walked down this pathway until
03:21.452 --> 03:25.105
now, or, you know, even in the secular arenas,
03:25.137 --> 03:28.710
they're starting to be shocked. Whoa, we were lied to. Um,
03:29.222 --> 03:32.603
but here's the question is how gullible and ignorant
03:33.103 --> 03:35.439
and undiscerning to think that even the people of God,
03:36.177 --> 03:39.515
Um, would, would just think that no one
03:39.563 --> 03:42.756
would ever lie to me. What, what makes me think no
03:42.772 --> 03:46.624
one? Because I tell the truth, that doesn't mean everybody tells the truth. Um,
03:46.961 --> 03:50.604
so we have been accustomed to granting immunity
03:50.796 --> 03:54.407
and undeserved credibility and trust to people just
03:54.907 --> 03:58.387
because of, really, Jerry, because of their positions, because their, their credit,
03:58.483 --> 04:01.966
their credentials, their authority. Right, right. Because they're famous
04:02.030 --> 04:05.448
or they're on TV or they've written books or they're in a political position.
04:05.545 --> 04:09.268
Yeah. Um, you know, we must start looking more
04:09.476 --> 04:12.831
at people's character and their integrity and the fruits of
04:12.863 --> 04:16.442
the Spirit and discern the safety
04:16.538 --> 04:20.486
before we trust these people. You know, we're not doing that. We have been so
04:20.727 --> 04:24.338
misled. You know, words are powerful and words can be used
04:24.838 --> 04:27.435
to tell the truth and words can be used to tell the lie. The question
04:27.531 --> 04:31.624
is who's using them and for what purpose. And so ourâ here's
04:32.124 --> 04:35.391
the problem. Going back to where we go with what it looks like, what it
04:35.891 --> 04:39.623
feels like, what everybody's saying about it. We have just given a blanket immunity
04:39.736 --> 04:43.070
to listen to this. You guys, this is your life. This is your children's
04:43.166 --> 04:45.795
lives. This is the outcome of your precious babies.
04:46.548 --> 04:49.482
We listen to our professionals, our priests,
04:49.770 --> 04:53.089
our pastors, our presidents, our popes, our judges, our doctors,
04:53.538 --> 04:56.808
our lawyers, our salesmen, our authors, our news media.
04:57.850 --> 05:00.735
And who of those, have not lied to us? Who have not?
05:01.136 --> 05:05.336
Who have you? And so what happens? So many more,
05:06.105 --> 05:09.792
but the more serious problem of who's lied to
05:10.292 --> 05:14.040
us and to know that is to know, um, what is the,
05:14.104 --> 05:17.711
what is the danger that comes from those who believe those lies? And why don't
05:17.727 --> 05:21.318
we stand up and say, I'm done believing the lies. Why, why can't we
05:21.818 --> 05:25.389
do that? Well, part of it is we don't, we don't discern the difference between
05:25.502 --> 05:28.660
lies and truth. Well, that's stepâ that's first. That may be the first problem.
05:28.708 --> 05:31.651
We don't have the discernment because we don't know the word. And another thing too,
05:31.830 --> 05:35.137
you mentioned about the character of those that speak to
05:35.170 --> 05:38.372
us, that lead us in our lives. You know, I think of the
05:38.872 --> 05:43.022
Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. It talks aboutâ he talks
05:43.522 --> 05:48.176
about how the character of
05:48.356 --> 05:50.623
them when they came to minister to them,
05:52.480 --> 05:55.259
that we weren't covetous, we weren't greedy,
05:56.028 --> 05:59.439
we behaved ourselves in a holy manner.
05:59.921 --> 06:04.544
We did not, uh, we weren't, uh, we worked and
06:04.833 --> 06:08.043
made our own living and everything like that. And we,
06:08.429 --> 06:13.068
we gave ourselves for you because you were dear to us. So there was an
06:13.244 --> 06:17.515
overwhelming character study. They were, they were, they were intact.
06:17.755 --> 06:21.191
They came with the gospel, right? And there's a lot
06:21.691 --> 06:23.775
of people out there that don't bring the gospel, or they bring a false gospel
06:24.275 --> 06:28.302
and they don't bring any integrity with it. Um, the Bible, however, does not tell
06:28.415 --> 06:32.059
us to trust men, but to trust in God. And we
06:32.124 --> 06:35.624
are his witnesses. Psalm 20, um, don't some trust in chariots,
06:35.736 --> 06:38.321
some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
06:38.803 --> 06:41.323
So, um, we are his witnesses.
06:41.917 --> 06:45.562
Those who love not their lives, they're talking about Paul,
06:45.691 --> 06:49.159
those who, who are willing to give their lives for others, uh, so that the
06:49.207 --> 06:53.364
word of God can be, you know, brought to the broken
06:53.397 --> 06:57.216
ones and rightly divided. So, but here's
06:57.264 --> 07:00.458
the problem. If you stand up for truth and righteousness,
07:01.165 --> 07:04.439
if you walk in integrity, if you ask questions,
07:05.113 --> 07:09.783
if you, you know, buck the narrative, then we're
07:10.088 --> 07:14.149
scolded for questioning the authorities or accused
07:14.325 --> 07:17.455
of not knowing anything ourselves. Being rebellious.
07:17.712 --> 07:21.207
And so we have to go in. We've been programmed and trained people to
07:21.223 --> 07:24.783
go through the intermediaries to figure out our own lives
07:24.831 --> 07:28.904
or what's going on in our own body or our church or any
07:28.936 --> 07:33.025
other in our lives. We have to go find out some stranger what
07:33.525 --> 07:36.024
they're saying. I should know more about what's going on in my body or my
07:36.056 --> 07:40.049
church or my, my family than going to a stranger. And I understand
07:40.401 --> 07:43.913
there are some people, we're not saying this is, there's not people
07:44.413 --> 07:47.858
out there who can help you that are understanding these things. I'm not saying that.
07:48.483 --> 07:52.237
I'm saying that, We have been trained to believe we can't know anything
07:52.430 --> 07:55.512
on our own, you know, with the Spirit of God within
07:56.012 --> 07:59.336
us. We have to rely on other people. And in the past, and that
07:59.465 --> 08:03.153
makes us helpless and that allows treachery and
08:03.653 --> 08:07.726
deception and betrayal and treason to
08:07.758 --> 08:11.134
be major players in this end days scenario with Jesus.
08:11.214 --> 08:14.316
And Jesus said that. Yeah. At the time, what happens to
08:14.348 --> 08:18.130
us is we judge matters based on the opinions
08:18.419 --> 08:22.356
of others. Or the expression of others rather
08:22.501 --> 08:25.476
than using the word of God or flattery to,
08:25.929 --> 08:28.585
to judge in a sense.
08:29.298 --> 08:32.280
It's the standard. Oh, it's, it's hype. It's flattery.
08:32.540 --> 08:36.752
It's, it's momentum. It's the trend. It's the whatever charisma.
08:36.962 --> 08:40.098
Yeah. It's whatever it is. But Jesus said, again, people,
08:40.502 --> 08:44.268
Matthew 7:15, by their fruits you shall know them. You have to
08:44.317 --> 08:47.746
learn this. You have to, you have to use this
08:48.053 --> 08:51.340
this, uh, this standard, if you will,
08:51.725 --> 08:55.092
to judge the standard. Yeah, not this, the fruit,
08:55.108 --> 08:58.410
the opinions. It's just like what we, you know, TV commercials,
08:58.475 --> 09:01.922
they said if so-and-so, if somebody's famous, they recommend a
09:02.422 --> 09:05.465
product, that gives it an authority. That's a sheep. You're following this like, like a
09:05.593 --> 09:09.313
blind leading the blind, Jesus said. Yeah. Okay, so now with
09:09.522 --> 09:12.247
AI thrown itself in the bigâ the picture,
09:12.584 --> 09:15.759
it's evenâ there's another wrench in this pool of deception.
09:16.432 --> 09:19.884
And there's motivations, intentions. You don't know. You don't know what's real.
09:20.430 --> 09:23.706
Anybody can say anything about anything.
09:23.818 --> 09:27.286
Yeah, right. Anybody can lookâ make a picture look like somebody else,
09:27.816 --> 09:31.301
steal people's voices, identities. Yep, yep. You got an avatar
09:32.152 --> 09:36.567
and all this stuff going on. And so how are we gonna navigate
09:37.067 --> 09:40.517
this? Really, this can be superâ Jesus said it. He said in the
09:41.017 --> 09:44.626
last days there'd be this kind of false prophets. And that's
09:45.126 --> 09:49.023
exactly true too. False prophets, you know, angels of light, people coming like they're
09:49.521 --> 09:53.629
talking for Jesus as if they're Jesus and, and just
09:53.918 --> 09:56.983
babes everywhere just being deceived because they don't know the word.
09:57.288 --> 10:00.803
They haven't had time to read or study or grow up in the word and
10:00.883 --> 10:04.253
they've not maybe felt that they could even understand it themselves. They have to have
10:04.753 --> 10:07.367
an intermediary there to interpret the word for them.
10:07.944 --> 10:11.266
Um, you know, and you know, it's just not, we're not getting enough true,
10:13.721 --> 10:16.786
foundation, you know, withâ to discern the Word
10:17.286 --> 10:19.994
of God. Even in the church, we said, okay, here's what we say, here's what
10:20.494 --> 10:24.326
the Word says. But we look at the churches for the
10:24.826 --> 10:27.663
most part and say, well, they're not following the Word, but we follow the churches
10:27.695 --> 10:31.289
anyway that are not following the Word. Or the Wordâ or the churches
10:31.789 --> 10:34.931
are switching the Word, twisting it around so it can be something they want to
10:35.139 --> 10:38.605
preach or follow. But here's the other side of that coin. Okay, we've been lied
10:39.105 --> 10:42.904
to. We should admit that now, people. A lot of every direction.
10:43.081 --> 10:45.824
Yes. The food you eat, the people you listen to and follow, you know,
10:45.840 --> 10:49.113
medical community, everything. We have been lied to.
10:49.578 --> 10:52.209
Okay. Now what do we do about that? That's the real question.
10:52.723 --> 10:55.691
When you've been lied to, what do you do? What do you,
10:55.835 --> 10:59.878
what are you supposed to do? The trusted pillars of our foundations, our generations,
10:59.926 --> 11:02.172
our history, our, our, uh, you know,
11:02.910 --> 11:06.247
decades of this programming. When it's,
11:06.440 --> 11:10.194
when, when it's all moved away, when it's all exposed, when it's all said
11:10.694 --> 11:14.123
and done, Where do we go and what do we do? Well, we have
11:14.623 --> 11:18.437
to go back to the word of God, the institutions that we trusted,
11:18.710 --> 11:22.591
the procedures that we entrusted our babies to, our school
11:22.703 --> 11:24.932
children to, our young adult children to.
11:25.910 --> 11:30.000
What is happening to them? What is the fruit of their being exposed
11:30.500 --> 11:34.346
to these things that we thought were so healthy and
11:34.846 --> 11:38.566
sustaining and positive? Um, so here's
11:38.598 --> 11:41.746
the problem. While they're being exposed to all kinds of,
11:41.875 --> 11:45.119
you know, screenâ screens and commercials
11:45.328 --> 11:48.798
and internet and Snapchat and everything else,
11:49.199 --> 11:52.685
what are we doing? We're, you know, sitting at
11:52.797 --> 11:55.993
ease, um, unsuspecting, eating our dainties,
11:56.106 --> 11:59.929
playing the harlot against all the righteous and moral and
12:00.041 --> 12:04.056
godly institutions that God has given us, including the word. So what
12:04.556 --> 12:07.685
do we do? Simple instructions to trust and obey God.
12:08.375 --> 12:12.084
Simple cautions not to follow men or be used by men to help
12:12.584 --> 12:15.986
them achieve their own selfish goals and statuses.
12:16.564 --> 12:19.615
Follow the money, like they say. Um, they're,
12:19.711 --> 12:22.714
they've been lying to us from the beginning. Everything. Satan is a liar.
12:23.404 --> 12:26.760
And that's how he manipulates the snake pit. That's how he gets us
12:27.260 --> 12:31.107
to, uh, he, bribes, he bullies, he tricks,
12:31.508 --> 12:35.323
he confuses, he conceals, he blackmails
12:36.141 --> 12:39.812
because there's no other way people would follow him because nobody loves
12:39.844 --> 12:43.178
the devil really because he's not very lovable. He's awful.
12:43.595 --> 12:47.202
Well, people are unconsciously following the enemy for the
12:47.702 --> 12:50.504
most part, more than they are following the Lord for sure.
12:51.130 --> 12:54.031
Well, you know, everything we've been lied to about what to eat,
12:54.353 --> 12:57.512
how to live, where, what we can afford to buy,
12:58.044 --> 13:01.186
where, yeah, they're now building cities for us to live in so that will be
13:01.686 --> 13:03.507
convenient for their plans,
13:05.934 --> 13:09.362
their agenda, I guess you'd say. And yet what have we got? We've got
13:09.411 --> 13:12.757
more people homeless, more people broken, more people addicted,
13:12.887 --> 13:16.675
more people living under the bridges, more people dropping
13:16.772 --> 13:19.482
out, more people dying, more people obese, more people,
13:20.886 --> 13:23.682
autistic, more people dysfunctional,
13:24.765 --> 13:29.031
and our recovery programs and our treatment programs and our interventions
13:29.791 --> 13:33.722
are being absolutely run over by the tsunami
13:34.062 --> 13:36.554
of destruction.
13:37.071 --> 13:39.628
You know, people are not being helped by these things.
13:41.288 --> 13:44.848
So when we discover, you know,
13:45.256 --> 13:49.139
the lies, in the recovery programs, in the medical interventions,
13:49.268 --> 13:51.902
in the cost that we end in so many lives,
13:52.255 --> 13:55.692
lives of our loved ones. How do we recover from the lies that
13:56.192 --> 13:59.499
we've been told in the church, at the grocery store, uh,
13:59.724 --> 14:03.563
by the media? Look at us, you know, we're, we're made
14:04.063 --> 14:06.968
in the image and likeness of God. And yet what do we look like?
14:07.032 --> 14:10.582
What have we become? What are we exemplifying?
14:10.646 --> 14:13.762
I mean, do we most, a lot of people don't
14:13.842 --> 14:17.435
look like you know, godly representations
14:17.531 --> 14:21.460
made in the image and likeness of God at all. They, they're broken, they're crippled,
14:21.476 --> 14:25.628
they're notâ they're hurt. The enemy has tried
14:26.128 --> 14:29.380
to steal from us our life and our health. And Ephesians
14:29.396 --> 14:33.084
5:11 says, and have no fellowship with the
14:33.164 --> 14:36.755
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
14:37.493 --> 14:40.892
And, you know, we, we in our, in our culture,
14:40.956 --> 14:43.313
in our, in our country particularly right now,
14:43.907 --> 14:47.006
There's a lot of lies, horrible deception,
14:47.215 --> 14:50.008
horrible treachery. It's been, you know,
14:50.105 --> 14:53.653
murderous treachery that is being exposed.
14:54.360 --> 14:57.780
It's being exposed gradually, but a lot of the people don't see it even when
14:57.828 --> 15:01.634
it's exposed. Or when it is exposed, it's not being
15:01.907 --> 15:05.696
judged, addressed. It's not being addressed. Yeah, nobody's going to
15:05.825 --> 15:09.614
jail. Nobody's gettingâ but that's the, theâ but the bottom
15:10.114 --> 15:12.952
line is the death penalty, the jail, is is the justice of God. But going
15:13.128 --> 15:17.039
back to what do I do now? I can't make those
15:17.152 --> 15:20.277
things happen, but it's like this. Think about
15:20.777 --> 15:24.573
the little frog that was put in a kettle of lukewarm water. Frogs can
15:24.605 --> 15:28.324
do water, you know, they're fine in water. And so this isn't too uncomfortable.
15:28.549 --> 15:31.466
It's a nice, it's nice lukewarm, but slowly,
15:31.514 --> 15:35.361
slowly the burner has been turned up. And now the
15:35.425 --> 15:38.679
frog is actually being cooked alive.
15:39.337 --> 15:43.109
Um, and so for so long we've been cooking in
15:43.609 --> 15:46.930
our own, the lies that we wanted to believe. We want to believe them.
15:47.604 --> 15:51.472
And for many it's now just too much effort
15:51.972 --> 15:55.004
to jump out or maybe they don't have the strength to jump out anymore.
15:56.432 --> 15:59.274
Or we don't think we're getting cooked. We don't think we're getting cooked.
15:59.482 --> 16:03.206
Exactly. That's exactly whatâ and if we don't admit that we've been lied to,
16:03.656 --> 16:06.417
then we'll never even consider jumping out of the kettle.
16:07.750 --> 16:11.525
Yeah, and the truthâ can we handle
16:11.846 --> 16:15.203
the truth? Jesus said in John chapter 17,
16:15.251 --> 16:18.785
sanctify them, set them apart. He's praying for his people.
16:19.492 --> 16:22.592
He's praying for us, extensionâ extending,
16:23.010 --> 16:27.009
paying for his own. This is the whole battle, you know, and praying
16:27.041 --> 16:29.178
for us future generations, actually.
16:30.672 --> 16:34.607
Sanctify them through your truth. Your word, your word is truth.
16:34.832 --> 16:38.567
And so the thing is, we have to come to the place where we're accepting
16:38.599 --> 16:42.767
the truth. And truth is not relative. Truth is Jesus
16:43.267 --> 16:46.631
Christ. Truth is truth. And Jesus, yeah, he said, I am the way, the truth,
16:46.695 --> 16:50.110
and the life. And so the truth really
16:50.446 --> 16:53.893
is not negotiable. It's not, here's your truth,
16:53.989 --> 16:57.227
here's my truth, right? You know, that's, that's the spirit of what
16:57.275 --> 17:00.209
we got today. Well, that's true for you, but it's not true, right?
17:00.642 --> 17:04.330
And so we compromise and we, we agree to disagree.
17:04.892 --> 17:08.259
But why are we being lied to? Let's go there for a minute.
17:08.419 --> 17:11.723
What really happens spiritually in the war, um,
17:12.108 --> 17:15.267
you know, at home and abroad where we're being
17:15.379 --> 17:18.875
overpowered and we're being overpowered by the consents that
17:19.003 --> 17:22.579
we are giving to our enemy, giving him the authority,
17:22.691 --> 17:25.786
the consent to destroy us. Why would
17:25.963 --> 17:32.073
anyone do that? Because the lies seem inconsequential.
17:32.314 --> 17:35.393
They're small, they're harmless. They're wrapped in the old,
17:35.906 --> 17:39.162
often used bread and circuses agenda,
17:39.756 --> 17:42.787
you know, being seduced. Uh, and, and,
17:42.980 --> 17:46.765
and now it's just fast food, fun pizza, and Netflix.
17:46.893 --> 17:50.133
I mean, it's the same thing. We're just too tired to get off the couch.
17:50.197 --> 17:53.389
We're too tired because we're eating dead food. We're too tired because we're not
17:53.889 --> 17:57.094
reading and being rejuvenated in the word of God. We're tired. We're tired
17:57.594 --> 18:00.527
of the battle. We're tired of being put down. We're tired of, of, you know,
18:00.543 --> 18:04.104
speaking up. We're tired of all kinds. We're tired. So it's getting harder
18:04.297 --> 18:07.746
and harder, but at the same time it should be getting harder and harder to
18:08.246 --> 18:13.537
turn a blind eye to, like I said earlier, these autistic statistics
18:14.037 --> 18:17.836
of babies and obesity and Alzheimer's and, um, you know, sudden death
18:17.868 --> 18:21.686
syndrome and all so many things that we see going on and
18:21.943 --> 18:24.896
who's going to speak up. So here's the question again.
18:26.051 --> 18:28.844
What is the solution to the crisis? Um,
18:29.406 --> 18:32.954
yes, one, number one, the return of Jesus Christ. But what did
18:33.454 --> 18:36.357
Jesus say when he came here the first time? What was his first words to
18:36.549 --> 18:39.824
us out of the chute? He said, repent and
18:39.920 --> 18:43.211
believe the gospel. For he says, for the
18:43.711 --> 18:47.048
kingdom of heaven is at hand, repent and believe
18:47.320 --> 18:49.889
the gospel. So that was back then. What do you suppose we should be doing
18:50.389 --> 18:54.008
now? It's probably a zillion times worse. So he said, um,
18:54.297 --> 18:57.437
repent, like you said, for the kingdom of heaven is at
18:57.937 --> 19:01.129
hand. Turn around, admit you have been deceived,
19:01.307 --> 19:05.024
cry out for mercy to the only one who can give
19:05.121 --> 19:09.002
us that mercy. Um, Jesus, if he
19:09.502 --> 19:12.479
said to them when he was on the way to carrying his cross on the
19:12.511 --> 19:15.184
road and the women were weeping over him, he says, if they do this in
19:15.684 --> 19:17.912
a green tree, what are they going to do when it's dry? What are they
19:18.412 --> 19:22.132
going to do when it's fullyâ the wood is fully, uh, flammable? Well, it is
19:22.180 --> 19:25.517
happening. We're burning cities, we're burning trees everywhere.
19:25.854 --> 19:28.805
We're burning, burning. It was interesting today, and of course, you know,
19:30.089 --> 19:33.313
we, we got information overload. Yeah. And I
19:33.813 --> 19:37.757
just popped into something today, and I was just scrolling through all
19:37.886 --> 19:40.934
the crises that are going on just in this country. Yeah.
19:41.319 --> 19:44.753
Just, you know, wildfires, floods, Tornadoes,
19:45.492 --> 19:49.363
um, homelessness, all kinds of stuff around
19:49.863 --> 19:53.153
the world. It's just going whack. Well, it is because these are the birth pains,
19:53.202 --> 19:56.414
honey. Yes, this is why. Now, if you didn't repent up to this point
19:56.914 --> 20:00.269
in time, you just took it lightly and thought, I've got time, your time
20:00.349 --> 20:04.606
is basically running out. Jesus is coming back. So here's the deal: repent.
20:05.088 --> 20:07.738
Here's how you, you getâ you recover from being lied to.
20:08.236 --> 20:11.877
It's not locking someone up. It is repenting for your own
20:11.989 --> 20:15.546
sins, confessing your unbelief, confessing your sin.
20:15.835 --> 20:18.783
Humble. We humble ourselves. Yep. I was lied to.
20:18.976 --> 20:21.956
Yep. They deceived me. Yep. I bought it hook,
20:22.004 --> 20:25.450
line, and sinker. But now by the mercy and grace of God, Lord, get me
20:25.610 --> 20:29.231
out of this. Get me off this hook. I'm no longer going to
20:29.392 --> 20:33.206
give my agreement to the devil. I'm canceling out my agreement with the lies
20:33.702 --> 20:37.245
that I've embraced and promoted. And preached even to
20:37.745 --> 20:41.062
others, repent like the prodigal son who came back to his
20:41.158 --> 20:44.766
right mind. Cameâ if you come back to Father's house, this is the only
20:44.782 --> 20:47.669
way we're going to get back is to come back. Um,
20:48.374 --> 20:52.191
the time, the wisdom, the repentance is now.
20:52.800 --> 20:56.649
The time is short. The kingdom of God has come. It's around. It's all around
20:57.149 --> 21:00.354
us. But we're like you just said, we're in total crisis mode.
21:01.236 --> 21:04.484
So Um, you know what the truth is?
21:04.581 --> 21:08.426
God has inscribed that truth, the truth of truth, him onto
21:08.491 --> 21:11.362
the very, onto your very DNA and your spirit.
21:12.010 --> 21:16.011
So we can't stop. We can't kill
21:16.059 --> 21:19.433
time anymore. We can't wait around. We can't wait for someone else to do it.
21:19.915 --> 21:23.031
For now, everything is on the line. Walking in the truth, it's your life.
21:24.186 --> 21:27.627
It's your life. I personally believe that I'm fine.
21:28.313 --> 21:31.057
Because I have sought the Lord, cried out, read his word,
21:31.362 --> 21:34.732
helped other people. I'm not worried about me at all. I'm not.
21:35.278 --> 21:38.632
And you shouldn't be worried about you at all. You should be so free from
21:38.728 --> 21:41.777
that fear that you're able to go out there and rescue people who don't know
21:41.873 --> 21:44.810
yet the truth and who are still being bound in these lies.
21:45.163 --> 21:48.196
Be brave, speak up. If you don't speak up,
21:48.533 --> 21:52.064
then you're going to get what you consented through your silence to
21:52.564 --> 21:56.044
get. And that is exactly what the devil wants to give you. And that's destruction.
21:56.236 --> 21:59.495
Passivity is the greatest the greatest destruction.
21:59.608 --> 22:02.836
It's the greatest open door to the enemy where you justâ
22:02.964 --> 22:06.497
you're basically zoned out. You're passive. You don't, you don't
22:06.578 --> 22:09.950
move one way or the other. You're not valiant for the truth.
22:10.030 --> 22:13.965
We read that, I think, earlier. No one is valiant
22:14.465 --> 22:18.044
for the truth. Who is valiant for the truth? Who is really gutsy
22:18.076 --> 22:21.674
enough to, to face the truth, to repent against the
22:21.754 --> 22:25.030
opposition, and to go forward with Well,
22:25.063 --> 22:28.436
and the other thing is called us to do, uh, with that passivity, we make
22:28.581 --> 22:32.019
excuses for putting up with these things,
22:32.533 --> 22:34.573
you know? And I think a lot of people are just waiting to die.
22:35.023 --> 22:37.818
Okay. I'm just going to hang in here. I'm not going to get too involved.
22:37.898 --> 22:41.657
I'm just going to, you know, crawl my way, inch my way to the death
22:41.770 --> 22:45.175
line, and then I'll be out of here. You know, it's not the finish line,
22:45.240 --> 22:48.790
it's the death line. And, and so we stopped, but, but, but I,
22:49.561 --> 22:53.670
we have to stop making excuses for the lie. And declare
22:53.814 --> 22:57.387
the truth. Um, recognize the urgency because sin is,
22:57.964 --> 23:01.953
um, you know, it's the lie. The lies that are producing
23:01.985 --> 23:05.318
the sin are binding us. We're bound up in those things.
23:05.831 --> 23:08.795
We need to cry out to God for mercy. We need to repent, humble ourselves,
23:09.035 --> 23:12.432
turn around, seek the truth, stand and walk in
23:12.480 --> 23:15.765
the, in his word, in the truth and the power of the gifts and the
23:15.845 --> 23:19.274
discernment, not to be ashamed of the gospel or
23:19.774 --> 23:23.056
the power of the gospel. Uh, don't be confused by those who excuse
23:23.556 --> 23:26.920
you or are judging you or trying to fact-check
23:27.128 --> 23:31.120
you or call you a liar, or, you know, because they don't
23:31.136 --> 23:35.015
want you to say anything. It's a time for the sleepers to awake.
23:35.896 --> 23:39.343
God is saying that. He's actually saying that even in some of our movies.
23:39.503 --> 23:42.052
Awake, O sleeper. Yeah. Wake up. Yeah.
23:42.597 --> 23:46.620
Awakening is soâ we need another great
23:47.120 --> 23:50.190
awakening. We need a personal awakening, and we need
23:50.690 --> 23:54.410
an awakening as a nation. People have been praying for that, fasting for
23:54.910 --> 23:58.230
that, crying out for that for years and years and years and years. We've had
23:58.730 --> 24:02.710
some great awakenings in this country. We've had someâ there's some great awakenings that
24:03.210 --> 24:06.530
are happening in other nations right now. But the thing is, let's,
24:07.030 --> 24:09.610
let's look at it this way. How about you and me? Yeah, let's wake up.
24:10.110 --> 24:13.630
It's time to wake out of sleep. Don't be silent. Romans chapter
24:14.130 --> 24:17.210
11, I believe, where it says, and now is our salvation nearer than when we
24:17.710 --> 24:21.667
first believed. Amen. Rebuke the fear of speaking up. You know,
24:22.148 --> 24:25.256
we've lived in that fear and programmed by that fear to keep our mouth shut
24:25.272 --> 24:28.830
for a long time. We have been called not to keep your mouth shut,
24:29.503 --> 24:32.724
but to be called to be the witnesses, his witnesses, to tell the
24:33.224 --> 24:36.474
truth, to warn others, to set the captives free of sin and
24:36.570 --> 24:40.688
indulgence and passivity and, and the
24:41.137 --> 24:44.760
influence of the enemy. Let's be free. To testify
24:44.824 --> 24:48.290
to the truth, to fear God, not man. When you fear God,
24:48.370 --> 24:51.821
you won't have to fear men. Yeah, let me just read this. I, uh,
24:52.125 --> 24:55.094
it's Romans 13:11, not 11:13.
24:55.174 --> 24:57.999
Romans 13:11: Do this knowing the time,
24:58.689 --> 25:02.428
that now it is high time to awake out of sleep, for now
25:03.423 --> 25:07.130
our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent,
25:07.194 --> 25:10.853
the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness
25:11.302 --> 25:15.101
And let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in
25:15.149 --> 25:17.554
the day, not in revelry and drunkenness,
25:18.035 --> 25:20.231
not in lewdness and lust,
25:21.401 --> 25:24.927
not in strife and envy, but put on the Lord Jesus Christ
25:25.008 --> 25:28.502
and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts.
25:28.598 --> 25:32.766
You know, this admonition is an encouragement
25:33.266 --> 25:36.581
to those of you who are already speaking up, standing up, telling the truth,
25:37.030 --> 25:39.868
refusing the lies, paying attention,
25:40.316 --> 25:43.587
walking in the Spirit, discerning the good from the bad, whether it's in the
25:44.087 --> 25:46.649
grocery store or in the political arena. You know,
25:47.996 --> 25:51.267
Satan wants to kill the human race. He has to
25:51.283 --> 25:55.628
use humans to do it though. He cannot just outright kill us because he
25:56.128 --> 25:59.316
can't, because if he could, he'd already done that. So he's got to use us
25:59.816 --> 26:03.694
to do the job, to kill one another with words, with jealousy,
26:03.726 --> 26:07.590
with corruption, with bitterness, with unforgiveness. But Lord
26:07.654 --> 26:11.614
God, we're in a very wonderful place that we can actually see The
26:11.646 --> 26:15.366
power of God's love, the power. He said, they will know you are my disciples
26:15.414 --> 26:19.293
in the last days by the love that you have for one another. And so
26:19.358 --> 26:22.371
we are here to walk in the power
26:22.403 --> 26:26.219
of that calling. You've been called for such a time as this, for these days
26:26.267 --> 26:28.976
that we're living in. It's not a time to be afraid. It's not a time
26:29.476 --> 26:33.225
to be upset. It's not a time to be confused. It is the time to
26:33.725 --> 26:36.607
stand, a time to stand and know who you are,
26:36.977 --> 26:39.431
who God is and why you are here.
26:40.287 --> 26:43.969
Okay? The rest of eternity is going to take care of itself. But right now
26:44.502 --> 26:47.957
we are called on stage to act on behalf of
26:48.457 --> 26:51.817
the Most High God, on behalf of ourselves and our generations
26:51.849 --> 26:55.145
to come, our posterity, and that God's
26:55.161 --> 26:58.363
kingdom, his will will come as
26:58.395 --> 27:03.646
he died to give it to us, as he wants us to enjoy that
27:03.662 --> 27:07.030
kingdom in eternity. Lord, make each of
27:07.530 --> 27:11.375
us valiant for the truth. Yes, Lord. And, and the truth has to
27:11.875 --> 27:15.304
be spoken in love. You said speaking the truth in love,
27:15.368 --> 27:18.543
that they may grow up, grow. Speaking the truth in love,
27:18.976 --> 27:21.958
it's not just whack, whack, whack, um,
27:22.905 --> 27:25.951
with the truth, but it's the truth has to be there with love.
27:26.593 --> 27:30.024
And the Holy Spirit will make the impact in the hearts of
27:30.524 --> 27:34.208
the people. As they receive the truth. Not everybody's going to welcome the truth.
27:34.993 --> 27:38.616
Some, you know, people willâ Father, people willâ some
27:39.116 --> 27:42.110
people will love you for the truth that you bring, that you demonstrate,
27:42.206 --> 27:45.331
and some people will hate you for it. That's the way it is. Regardless,
27:45.652 --> 27:49.339
stand for the truth. Keep that belt of truth around you
27:49.839 --> 27:53.410
and that armor. Father, we ask you to forgive us also for indulging
27:53.506 --> 27:57.257
and tolerating the lies, for putting up with lukewarm,
27:57.369 --> 28:00.433
for putting up with lies that are dressed to look like the truth.
28:00.979 --> 28:04.111
We ask you, Lord God, to deliver us from the
28:04.611 --> 28:07.709
evil one, from his lies, his treachery. We ask you to forgive
28:08.271 --> 28:12.110
us for our passivity and our silence. We ask you, Lord God,
28:12.543 --> 28:15.788
as we humble ourselves, we forgive those who've lied to us
28:16.703 --> 28:20.542
and for whatever gain or reason, we forgive them
28:20.654 --> 28:24.525
because we're not carrying around that judgment. That's yours to carry, Lord God.
28:25.135 --> 28:29.308
And we forgive those who have just slept
28:29.325 --> 28:33.669
through most of the, of the whole, the whole crisis wake
28:33.877 --> 28:36.699
up and we forgive them. And we ask now that you would forgive all of
28:37.199 --> 28:40.370
us, that we would no longer put up with the lies. First of
28:40.870 --> 28:44.249
all, we'll walk in the power of your holy truth. We'll love your word.
28:44.297 --> 28:47.584
We'll read your word. We won't be deceived
28:48.084 --> 28:51.608
by those who are impersonating God to us, the Holy Spirit
28:52.108 --> 28:55.519
to us, uh, through the lies of other people. We thank you
28:56.019 --> 28:58.677
for discerning of spirits. Oh God, which is one of the gifts of the Spirit.
28:59.062 --> 29:02.081
We thank you, Jesus, that you're coming back. We thank you that you warned us
29:02.193 --> 29:05.548
about the deception of the last days. We thank you, Jesus, that you are
29:06.048 --> 29:09.257
the truth and you don't change. You're the same yesterday, today, and forever. We thank
29:09.757 --> 29:13.560
you, Lord, for giving us courage to not do, not give place, not agree with
29:13.977 --> 29:17.589
the things Satan is setting up in us to try to use our consent
29:18.089 --> 29:23.225
to destroy us. We ask, Father, for a transformation, a true repentance,
29:23.851 --> 29:26.242
crying out to you, falling on our knees.
29:27.461 --> 29:31.566
Let the fear of God come upon us, come upon our nation, Lord God.
29:32.047 --> 29:35.559
And we ask you now, we know that you're hearing this prayer, and we know
29:36.059 --> 29:38.061
that there are many who are praying it with us right now. We lift up
29:38.561 --> 29:42.343
this prayer to you, Lord God, and ask for your mercy and your divine intervention
29:42.391 --> 29:45.727
to break the grip of the terrible one over
29:45.759 --> 29:49.191
our lives, over our children, over our destinies, over every part of
29:49.691 --> 29:53.585
our families. You would break the grip of the terrible one because only
29:53.857 --> 29:57.032
you, Lord God, can do it. But we're asking you to do it,
29:57.144 --> 30:00.511
and we're thanking you ahead of time that you're doing it. And we're thanking you
30:01.011 --> 30:04.967
for the peace that you've given us and for the restoration and recovery of
30:04.983 --> 30:07.612
many of the things that have happened to us because we believed the lies,
30:07.724 --> 30:10.930
because we were passive, because we were deceived. Restore our
30:11.430 --> 30:14.409
health, Lord God. Restore our destiny. Restore the brightness in our eyes.
30:14.842 --> 30:18.208
Restore our lives to the excitement
30:18.708 --> 30:21.847
of the love of God and the miracle-working power of your love.
30:21.975 --> 30:25.069
Restore us, oh God, for your glory's
30:25.149 --> 30:28.244
sake, because we are your witnesses. Forgive us for
30:28.744 --> 30:32.770
being not available to testify when we needed to testify. We're showing
30:32.818 --> 30:36.590
up, Lord God. We're showing up because you have showed up for us.
30:36.670 --> 30:40.265
So Lord God, let this be an awakening, a wake-up
30:40.765 --> 30:44.839
call. Let it just reverberate
30:45.401 --> 30:49.221
through the earth, Father God, that your people will come in one
30:49.285 --> 30:52.880
accord to come before you, to cry out before you,
30:52.896 --> 30:56.363
Lord God, and that you will come to deliver us
30:56.732 --> 31:00.564
from the evil, the evil that is, is surrounding us, that you will deliver
31:01.064 --> 31:03.978
us from evil, Father. And for your glory we ask these things. Amen.
31:04.908 --> 31:08.419
Amen. Amen. Hey, tell us aboutâ there's

a wake-up call right there. Yeah, it is. Like, it isâ spiritual
31:26.859 --> 31:30.823
warfare has been a very taboo subject. People don't want to
31:30.951 --> 31:33.519
talk about it. They don't want to admit that we're in a war. They want
31:34.019 --> 31:37.113
to just kind of let this be the cruise ship, the enchanted,
31:37.611 --> 31:41.623
you know, whatever. But you're set. You're right. It's a wake-up
31:41.703 --> 31:44.944
call to help us not only to understand what spiritual warfare is, how it got
31:45.444 --> 31:48.763
here, and how it operates, but also what to do about it
31:49.263 --> 31:52.617
in terms of Deliverance and Inner Healing. So yeah, and you can get that
