Speaker 2 (00:43):
Good afternoon, This is the Fred Hughes Show. Once again.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I'm Fred Hughes, and welcome to our show this evening.
I have some exciting things that I want to get
to tonight, and before I get started, I want to
just kind of remind you of our website and let
me put that address up there, Decision one dot org
(01:07):
the word decision the numeral one and then dot org
for organization. It's easy to find. There's a lot of
good things that are on there, including a couple of
books that I've written. One of them is Mister Fred's Box.
It's a children's book. It comes in you know, the
(01:28):
soft soft shell, the soft cover, the hardcover, and it
also comes in in the digital format and it's great.
It's a great gift for especially newly new mamas and
that sort of thing a wonderful shower gift, and so
(01:48):
avail yourself of that. If you have some children, well
it's something good to read. It's not there's a lot
of kind of junk out there, but I try to
give you something that teaches them something thing that's worthwhile
and also for you know, if you if you're a
little more adult reading. It's Beside the Still Waters and uh,
(02:11):
it is the book that I wrote recently and very
proud of it. It's especially if you're if you're just
if you're new in the faith and you really want
to nail down some good, good stuff solidly. How do
you have a relationship with a God you can't see?
And it's that relationship that is so important and so
(02:33):
vital to us. And I talk about, you know, how
you get born again and how how important that is
and why you would want to do such a thing
as that, And then I move on from there and
I talk about relationship and just kind of how how
to give good examples of how how you communicate with
God and it's very important that that we have that relationship. Uh,
(02:59):
And then I'm moving into you know, how to be
able to be empowered to buy that God to do
great exploits in his name. So I think you'll find
it great reading. And I would just encourage you if
you already have one of those books. I need some
little reports on Amazon where you can order it and
(03:20):
find it on our website. Anyway, I want to move
on into what I want to get to tonight. I
get to be my own guests tonight, and I have
a special just really I think this is a special meeting,
a special program for tonight, because it's really we've had
(03:42):
some difficult things happened. Charlie Kirk was assassinated yesterday and
today is nine to eleven, and that conjures up some
very difficult thoughts and it's just, you know, basically, we
are living in troubled time and we need to understand
(04:05):
and know that that's where we are and not be
shocked and not be moved by that too much because
and that's where it just says, you know, as you
see the day approaching, encourage one another. And so that's
what I'm trying to do tonight is I want to
encourage you in the Lord tonight. I also want to prophesy,
(04:25):
bring a prophetic word kind of over whoever is watching tonight.
And so I think I have some things that are
very very important, and I want to just begin by
putting up a scripture that it's really, you know, a
very important ones Joshua one nine. It just says, have
(04:49):
I not commanded you? And that's an important word command,
but it says, have I not commanded you? Be strong
and be of good courage. Do not be afraid nor
be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you
(05:10):
wherever you go. You know, that's a wonderful, blessed promise.
And we need to know, and we need to understand
our God doesn't never leaves us, never forsakes us. He's
not he doesn't leave us as an orphan. He's always
has us on his mind. And whatever whether there's troubles
(05:32):
coming our way or whether there's there's just wonderful bliss
in our in our path, it doesn't really matter, because
God loves us anyway, and he cares for us, and
he never he never gets out of our sight. He
wants to go through things with it with us, and
he wants to bring us out victorious every time. And
(05:55):
it's a sad day in America. It's really you know,
some issues with that. We're going to kind of talk
about that a little bit, but I just want to
encourage you that just because a good man passed away,
we lost a wonderful patriot and a very strong man
(06:21):
of God, and he has two little children that are
left behind. And why there is such evil in this world,
why there are people that would celebrate his death is
really beyond me. I really can't understand that. But you
do understand that there's just two kinds of people in
(06:42):
the world.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
They either have been they have a regenerated heart and
they're made new and they know God, or they do not,
and they're living in the old, sinful nature that they
were born with. And so unless you been born again.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Then you have you haven't.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You don't have the capacity to love and understand and
too and to reckon with the day that's in front
of you. Unfortunately, you have no destiny that's good, and
I pray for you if that's If that is you, you
(07:26):
need to be born again. Find a Bible somewhere. Just
understand that Jesus told Nicodemus unless you unless you're born again,
you can't see into heaven. You can't see the Kingdom
of God at all. You really can't comprehend what life
is UH and how to live life in a blessed
(07:50):
way if you're if you're not born again, I highly
recommend you to find that book that I was advertising.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Will Ago.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
The first part of it will tell you how to
get there. But anyway, I wanted to press on depth depth.
The rest of us understand that God has good plans.
He's got He's got a good future, is a future
of hope, and a future that that designed to prosperous
(08:18):
and be and keep us keep us going.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And so I have some thoughts that I just want
to share and I want to speak prophetically. As I
said earlier, I believe God is up to something very good.
I really do. I believe that God has got is
the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. And
so I know that He's up to something good. And
(08:45):
I know that, you know, sometimes in the darkness of
the day, when we when we think back about nine
eleven and how evil and how atrocious that that event
was going forward or to begin BEng Ghazi and for UH,
some of the Afghanistan things, and just a lot of
(09:07):
a lot of evil doing that's been going on in
the world. The wars that are raging right now, but
that with Israel and and that, and and with the
Ukraine and all of the you know, all the stuff
that's going on. There's just evil in our world. And
even in our own country we have you know, shootings
(09:30):
and and people that are killing people on buses for
no reason whatsoever. Charlie Kirk being shot down, and a
young man thirty thirty one, little children, wonderful wife and
and just just a man who trying to stand up
and and and speak plainly and tell the truth. And
(09:56):
there just seems to be people evil enough that want
to hide and and take and take a life that
doesn't belong to them. It's it's it's unfathomable all together.
But you know, nine to eleven was that's the day
that we're in where we're in nine to eleven right now,
(10:18):
and you know, three thousand people just for no reason whatsoever.
You know, people flying into into twin towers and taking
that many lives all at one time. It's just there's
much evil in the world. But what I want to
say to you is I want to remind you that
(10:41):
you are the.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Light of the world.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
There's much darkness, there's even deep darkness in our world today.
But I'm telling you you are the light. And you
have the understanding, and you have the born again spirit,
you have the spirit of odd inside of you. And
so according to Jeremiah, we we don't need to lose heart.
(11:06):
We don't need to be afraid. We don't need to
be fearsome and and and.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Cowardly.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
But we need to We need to you know, know
that the world has some surprises coming, and they're not
they're not going to be good. But we can move
through them. And we can do it victoriously when we
obey and and and you know, follow what God says.
(11:35):
When we when we respond and react the best way
when something when tragedy strikes, When when we when we
speak and believe the right things, we'll see grand results.
We'll see great results. But when we obey and the
(11:57):
follow the Holy Spirit and let him lead us, uh,
he will lead us in a great way and we'll
have great impact in the world.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
All of us, all of us have.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
The the miraculous uh, you know, resurrection power inside of
our inside of us. His name is Jesus Christ, He
dwells there by the Holy Spirit that lives and dwells
and has has his being in us. And so I
(12:34):
just I just want to encourage you right now. I
want to I want to speak the word of encouragement
over everybody that's listening to my program tonight, because it's
it's a time such as this to where we stand
up and where we make we make the strength of
the Lord and the and the true blessing of the
(12:54):
Lord revealed. Because perfect love, the perfect Love of God,
cast out all fear. And so there's no reason for
us to walk in fear. If somebody destroys this body
that you know, it's not the end of me or
(13:16):
you were. We are going to live eternally. We're going
to live with Him forever. So to be absent from
this body is to be present with the Lord. That's
where Charlie Kirk is. That's where you know, many of
those three thousand that were taken down in nine to
eleven in Ghazi and all these other places that I mentioned.
(13:40):
People made heaven if they're believing, if they confess with
their mouth and believed in their heart that Jesus Christ
is Lord, they are and were saved and that applies to.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You and your loved ones as well.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So I just want to you know, first of all,
I just want to uh, some of us have been
kind of in bondage or in a place that you know,
we we don't feel exactly like this is the best,
(14:19):
this is the number one thing, this is the best
that God has for me. And there's some of us
have been in that state for a very long time.
And I believe that this is a new day. I
believe God is breaking out. Uh some of those positions
that we've had in have been have been in. And
(14:42):
uh so I believe that, you know, the the problem
that you have had, the issue that you've been in
is possibly you know, both past and present. It's possibly
the the buried gate that that you're fiction to go through.
(15:09):
It's it's it's the victory. It's a victory gate for
you right now, because I believe God is starting to
move people out of where they were and into place
for which He has made ready for us. I think
(15:29):
this is an unusual time and I believe that God
is setting up his theater of war, if you will,
and and I think he is moving his soldiers around
into and positioning, positioning us in places that we're supposed
(15:49):
to be, the place that we were designed to be,
and we will fulfill our destiny and our we will
fulfill some of those dreams that we have had for long,
long periods of time, and we'll begin to see some
of those things come to fruition that we were not
(16:10):
have not been able to see as yet. But I
just believe that that day is coming. I believe it's
a gate of it's a victory gates. It's a gate
that that's opening up to to freedom and to a
new season of breakthrough for our lives. And I believe
(16:30):
that today is really a new day for a lot
of people, a new opportunity for you, and your past
problems are really the building material that for your life,
for your new life and your new purpose.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I believe you.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I believe some of the things that you've been through
are actually going to be a benefit from you have.
Let me let me just kind of refer you back
to a story, a biblical story, and a story of
Joseph is one that I really think is is apropos
for this particular word that I'm giving out right now,
(17:10):
Because Joseph had some dreams, and whenever he told them, well,
then they they put him in a in a weird place,
and they were from God. They were you know, they
were they were a plan, they were a vision, and
they were accurate and true.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
But whenever he.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Gave them out a little earlier or whatever, you know,
it just it wound up. He wound up kind of
you know, putting him in the in the pit, first,
in Potiphar's house second, and then even on into the
to a jail house. And but all of those stops
along the way, all all of those experiences, I believe
(17:53):
God was building character into his life. And I think
a lot of people, a lot of us have have
gone through some we've had some pits, and we've had
some jail experience, and we've had we've had some you know,
we've just had some some rough places. And it really
maybe you know, it doesn't fit in too much with
(18:17):
the with the vision, with the dream that God gave
us about what he wants for our life. And yet
we know that He's still working those things together for
good for those who love him and are called according
to his purpose. I believe you're called according to his purpose.
(18:37):
I do I believe I believe many many, many of
us have kind of given up on our dreams because
we've seen so we've been in the jail house a
long too long, we've been in the in the pit,
or we've been you know, in a in a place
where you know, we've.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Been accused or abused in some way.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And and so I just speak healing to you right
now in Jesus' name, restoration, fullness, and and and a
development of that of that character that that can only
come from from from a strengthening and uh so you know, uh,
(19:15):
he he got that, he developed that character that he
needed for the palace. He got that wisdom that he
needed to serve as serve the king. The king, okay,
and you need to be able to.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Be empowered as well.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And you're you're being made ready to serve the King.
And I believe that was my whole heart. I believe
that as for our our place right now, that I
really believe that it's really important that we understand that
(19:54):
we've been prepared, we're ready.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
And I know many many people that that have they
they they are very strong in the Lord. They have.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Just felt like they've been displaced and uh and just
not fulfilled the the things that God has shown that
you know, put in their heart that they wanted wanted
to get to. I believe that that's that's coming. I
believe that I believe that this is the time. Now
is the time.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
This is a victory gate that you're fixing to go through.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
In Jesus Mighty name. So I just declare and decree
that over you. If if what I said touches your heart,
you grab hold of that and you say, okay, I
receive it, and and show me that gate help me
walk right through that.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And so I just.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Really do believe that there is that darkness that's out there,
and I think we're going to see even more.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Honestly, I do.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I believe that we're fixing to go through an economic crunch.
I think where there's going to be some dark days in.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Ahead of us.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I know the enemy is not giving up and he's
not slowing down. He thinks somehow he might even win,
and so he is. He has really stirred up at
the moment, I really believe, to try to to try
to get his way, but it's not going to happen.
And you know, we we know that the scripture tells
(21:28):
us that you know it's it is part of the
birth plank pains we don't we believe, we know most
of most Christians understand we're living in in maybe not
the last of the last days, but we might be.
But we know that that the days are growing darker.
(21:49):
You know, it says it says that you know it'll.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Be it'll be like Noah's days.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It will be like you know, some other gives us
examples and we can look and kind compare that generation
tires and we can we can know that you know,
there there's some issues, there's some issues that are out there,
and uh, is he able to bring in a great
harvest here at the end? I believe he can. I
(22:15):
believe he will, and I believe he'll do it by
using us, flowing through us. That's the way he sets
up things. That the way he does things he does.
Not even the angels get to come and proclaim the gospel.
We have that as a responsibility. Not even you know,
we have the the the authority that He has given us.
(22:38):
And if you're born again filled with the Holy Spirit,
you've been empowered and and from on high with gifts
and with power to raise the seity to heal the sick,
to raise the dead, to you know, cast out the
demonic forces, to preach the kingdom right now in this time,
(23:05):
we have been empowered through authords He to be able
to do great exploits. And then on top of that,
we've been given wonderful gifts. Uh Galatians, go find go
find them in your Bible, because you need to know
what those gifts are, and you need to know which
one He said. The Word says that he gives everyone.
(23:25):
Every believer has several of those gifts, not just one,
but multiple wonderful gifts that we have been given and
empowered with. It might be, you know that that we
have a gift of faith, or it might be that
we have a gift of healing, and we might have
you know, there's any number of there's nine different ones
(23:49):
that I know of it that that just drive off
the top of my head. You know that they're very powerful,
that we can prophesy, that we can you know, do
They're just all kinds of good, good things in there.
And now that belongs to us, it belongs to the believer.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We have these.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Wonderful, powerful things, giftings and blessings and authority that we
are designed to walk in. The enemy is equipped with
a lie. He's already defeated. He's already been defeated, and
he is under God's foot. But he left us to
(24:34):
rule and reign in this world until he returns. And
so that's our job. That's what we need to be
about doing. And we need to be able to rise
up and do that what it says. And you know,
we're given such wonderful promises. I mean, the first John
(24:56):
four seventeen says as he he is, so are we
in this world. In other words, we're just like Jesus.
We're walking around and we're able to do good just
like he did. We're empowered with the same kind of
spiritual giftings, the same kind of authority that he walked
(25:18):
around in while he was on this earth. He left that,
He passed that to us to be able to operate
and flow in. And we are the light of the world.
We are the power that restrains the forces of darkness.
We are the overcomers. We are the ones that have
(25:41):
the ability to flip the switch on, turn on the light,
and the darkness be dispelled. It's just that simple, profound,
but that's who we are, and that's what we have.
That's the opportunity tea that we have, you know, And
(26:06):
I know I want to stir you up just and
give you a little quick reminder of our founding father's death.
I'm doing this kind of on on on on the
heels of Charlie Kirk's passing yesterday. You know, we need
to engage ourselves in political activity as well. Jesus bumped
into political leaders and spiritual leaders right and left. He
(26:31):
didn't you know, he didn't bow down, cow down to anyone.
And there is no separation of church and state, by
the way, that's not in there. That is not part
of our government. That is a lie from the pit
of heaven.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean pit of hell. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That is not a blessing that came from heaven. It's
a lie from the pit. And I'm just telling you
that's not That's not what our constitution says, and that's
not what our founding fathers stood on and and and
in Charlie Kirk's behalf, I just I just really want
to quote you a little a little just just just portion,
(27:16):
just kind of a a little reminder from kind of
the final line that's in the Declaration of Independence, and
it just says we mutually these are these were our
founding fathers and they and they wrote on this document
called the Declaration of Independence. He says, we mutually pledge
(27:41):
to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I'm just telling you that's the kind of attitude we
need to step into as believers and patriots. We need
to be patriots of these United States because it is
it is the most blessed kingdom that exists in the
world right right now. And it's that way because it
(28:13):
was founded on the principles and precepts of the Scripture.
That's the only reason that we are head and shoulders
above the rest of the world. And that's really where
we want to return to. We don't want to lose
why our founding fathers paid high process for. We need
(28:36):
to return to mutually pledging to.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
One another.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Our very very you know, lives are very, our fortunes,
our sacred honor.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I don't know what happened to honor in the world today,
but it's it pretty thin.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's kind of.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Hard to find, and it's about time that Americans start
picking it back up and wearing it once again, walking
in honorably amongst each other, doing the right thing, holding
up the right precepts, and demanding the right the righteousness
(29:24):
of Christ Jesus be revealed through men, you know. And
we need to vow our very fortunes, the things that
we have in this world. We need to be able
and willing to give up those things, in able to
(29:45):
take care of mankind and to create a strong nation
that's based on moral issue. The law of our land
is based in the morality of the scriptures, the truth
that sets men free. And I'm just telling you that
(30:08):
there's just so such importance to that. And you know,
it's all it's upt.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Us individually, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Hebrews eleven one, it just basically says, now, faith is
the assurance, or in another translation, it says the substance
of things hoped for, the conviction, or in the other translation,
evidence of the things not of things not seen. You know, faith,
(30:48):
you can't see it with your physical eyes.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You just have to believe in it.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But there is a true substance to it, and it
manifests itself. It uses things in reality. If you believe,
you will see those things come to fruition. And if
you you know, if you walk in the faith of God,
(31:14):
you will see the results that He has intended for us,
and the destiny that He has plotted and planned and.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Given to every one of us. When we see you.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Know, nine to eleven and ben Benghazi in election frauds,
and the evil that's in the streets of our cities,
and and you know, the assassinations, the attempts and polition. Darkness, yes,
even deep darkness. We must rise up. We can't just
(31:49):
we can't just say, oh, we're defeated. Oh there's nothing
we can do about it.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
No, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
We can do it. We can take charge of it.
We have the authority and the power to do all
that we all that needs to be done. We are
and have We are and we have the answer.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
We we are the lot of the world. We are
the hope of glory. We are empowered for great exploits,
and we have a purpose that we need to fulfill.
God will reveal it to us if we just ask
him and ask for the direction, and we can affect
(32:39):
that darkness. We can affect this this this world we
can have We can make a big difference. We need
to be like the sons of Isakar. And we need
to be able to discern the times that we live in,
and we need to know what to do about it,
And you don't want Through Christ, we can do all
(33:03):
these things. Through Christ, we can discern the We can
we can we can understand, we can know, we can
have knowledge of what the enemy has planned against us,
and we can and we can overshadow it. We can
overcome it. We can sit in trapments for for the
enemy rather than him sitting in trapments for us. We
(33:26):
need to know what time we're in. We need to
know how what to do about it, how to respond.
We need to know, you know, if we're if there's
a financial crunch coming, and there is, we need to
know how to position ourselves. We need to know what
to do about it. We need to know what we
(33:47):
need to invest in. We need to understand that, you know,
the cash we have may may may lose by drop
by fifty percent, even overnight banks may close. It's happened
before it can happen again. And you know, we can't
(34:07):
just go around blindly thinking that nothing is going to
change and nothing is going to happen. And we can
just keep on doing things that are detrimental to us
as a nation and get bye with it.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
We just.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You know, what is the definition of insanity is keep
on doing the same thing and thinking and expecting different results. Now,
you can't just kick the can down the road forever
and expect that that's going to keep on working.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
And I believe that we're very close to a you know,
a reset. There's been a lot of talk about reset,
and I believe that and truly there is a reset coming.
It may not be comfortable, but my friend, you need
to be you need to be inquiring of the Lord.
What do I do? How do I get prepared? How
do I position myself to where I can come through
(35:05):
this thing victoriously and help other people? How can I
poise my my myself in a position to where I
can be a blessing? And I can you know, wave
the way, come, come this way. I found a good
I found a good way.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
And we don't need to be deceived by things that
are that are presenting it said their self is an
answer and uh, you know, I don't know, And certainly
this isn't you know, economic advice or anything like that.
I'm not a I'm not an economy an economic person
(35:46):
or whatever you know. I'm I'm not a financial advisor,
but I'm just saying you need to get your you
need to get your take a long look at your
finances and where you are. You need to get out
of debt that's at all possible, and you need to
put your savings in something that's tangible rather than something
(36:08):
that like cash or stock markets, uh, stuff that can
go poof and it's gone, because all of that can
and will find something tangible, find you know, maybe silver, gold,
maybe big coin, but I don't think so it needs
(36:29):
to be proven. Maybe land, maybe you know other investments
that have some real solid you know that it's real.
You can hold on to it, you can you own it,
you possess it, and it will make you strong to
be It will give you something that as we go
(36:50):
through an economic crunch you can survive.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
You're going to do all right.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You're going to be able to have what you need
to make it through. And maybe it's so, maybe it's hard.
I don't know, but I do know that these are
the kinds of things that are going to be difficult,
and they're going to come but I'm just telling you,
just like Joseph back here, the one that we mentioned earlier,
(37:15):
he wound up, you know, possessing having the king give
him the land of Goshen, and the Israelites later on
were able to go to the land of Goshen, and
they were protected in that they didn't go through all
of the the bad things that happened to the Pharaoh
(37:38):
and whatnot. Whenever Moses came and and uh and and
and delivered the people out out of there. You know it.
We have the ability to step in under the things
of God, the power of God, the blessing of God,
and we just need to get heart to heart. We
just need to take time to pray, to ask him
(38:00):
to to set before the King of kings and get
the information we need how to rule and reign in
our own life. And then we'll be able to have
a say and being able to encourage other people that
that need that same kind of blessing and help help
(38:22):
them lock hold by faith to the things that they
need as well. And so I want to I want
to just kind of wrap this thing up a little bit.
The victory is ours. We've already Jesus already won two
thousand years ago, just still done. He won, but he
leaves it to us to rule and reign from from
(38:45):
until he returned. So we occupied, we occupy, and we
and we and we should be ruling and reign and
we should have the authority. We should be in control,
if you will, these days until he shows up and
we get to suit up with him, and and and
(39:07):
uh and and go and rule and reign with him.
Excuse me, the victory's already ours. It's already been one
we have.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
But we have to suit up and show up. Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
It's it's not just a gimme deal. We have an act.
We have a we have a part to play in it.
We need to stand in the authority and power that
he's been that that we've been given. We need to
fulfill our purpose in the now, in the in the
right now, and the in the present day. We have
purpose in today and now is the time of salvation.
(39:47):
Today is the day, you know, the blessing of the
Lord coming coming in. So we need to be able
to stand in that authority and the power. We need
to fulfill our purpose. We need we need to understand
that trouble is on the way, but Praise God. Victory
is already ours and we are going to be the
(40:11):
one that comes through it with the victory because it's
already won for us. It's already a done deal. Joseph
took them through the trouble that was that they were facing.
They he knew how to prepare because he got in
touch with God, and he knew how to prepare the nation,
(40:35):
the nations really UH for the drought, for the for
the bad time, for the for the uh reset that
was coming their way, and uh. And he had he
got the wisdom of the Lord and he and he
got the plan from God, and he.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Knew what to do.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
He knew what the what to do about it, and
he knew how to how to take the people successfully through.
And listen to me, you have the same God he did,
and you have the same ability to contact and hear
from that God who will give you all the information
you need. He has given us all things for life
(41:21):
and godliness. He's not withholding from us. But we have
to inquire and and acknowledge the wisdom that He wants
to hand us and then operate in it, obey it,
fulfill it, perform it.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
And victory is already.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Ours, so so powerful, so important. It's just just so
so important. So I want to encourage you tonight. I
just speak prophetically over you. There's some of you are
breaking out, uh and uh some of us are are
are are are going into and we're going to both
(42:08):
be victorious. And so there there there, there's going to
be some some good things happening and some bad things
happening all at the same time. Don't let that confuse you.
You just stay with your with with the things that
God has told you to do, and you'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
I just want to encourage you that.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
God has the answers you're looking for, you need, and
he has the success for you to walk in.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Just believe me it is the truth, because it's scriptural. God.
God has given us all all things.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
That we have need of knowing, and he'll he'll he'll
let us have his mind to think with. We can
have the mind of Christ. You have the revelation that
we need in the moment, and as we follow his recommendation,
(43:09):
just like he did. He said, I look to the
Father and I see what he's doing, and that's what
I do. That's what I say, And that's exactly that
we have the Holy Spirit. We can look to the
Holy Spirit and we can see what He's doing, and
we can do that same thing, and He will lead
us and guide us and and give us every step
(43:32):
that we need to be successful to walk and maneuver
through whatever the enemy has in mind. Be blessed, be powerful,
and be on top of everything in a God in
the in the way that God wants you to be.
(43:53):
And so I just speak blessings over you.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
And encourage you.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Whether whether whether you're coming out of and stepping into
shipping through that newgate that's going to open up wonderful,
glorious opportunities and make you feel fulfilled, or whether you're
stepping into one of those times of trouble that's going
(44:18):
to temper you and make you stronger. Either way, God
is working a good work in you. Believe it, receive it,
and operate in it. In Jesus' mighty name. God bless
you will see you later. Join us again every week

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Good afternoon, This is the Fred Hughes Show. Once again.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I'm Fred Hughes, and welcome to our show this evening.
I have some exciting things that I want to get
to tonight, and before I get started, I want to
just kind of remind you of our website and let
me put that address up there, Decision one dot org
(01:07):
the word decision the numeral one and then dot org
for organization. It's easy to find. There's a lot of
good things that are on there, including a couple of
books that I've written. One of them is Mister Fred's Box.
It's a children's book. It comes in you know, the
(01:28):
soft soft shell, the soft cover, the hardcover, and it
also comes in in the digital format and it's great.
It's a great gift for especially newly new mamas and
that sort of thing a wonderful shower gift, and so
(01:48):
avail yourself of that. If you have some children, well
it's something good to read. It's not there's a lot
of kind of junk out there, but I try to
give you something that teaches them something thing that's worthwhile
and also for you know, if you if you're a
little more adult reading. It's Beside the Still Waters and uh,
(02:11):
it is the book that I wrote recently and very
proud of it. It's especially if you're if you're just
if you're new in the faith and you really want
to nail down some good, good stuff solidly. How do
you have a relationship with a God you can't see?
And it's that relationship that is so important and so
(02:33):
vital to us. And I talk about, you know, how
you get born again and how how important that is
and why you would want to do such a thing
as that, And then I move on from there and
I talk about relationship and just kind of how how
to give good examples of how how you communicate with
God and it's very important that that we have that relationship. Uh,
(02:59):
And then I'm moving into you know, how to be
able to be empowered to buy that God to do
great exploits in his name. So I think you'll find
it great reading. And I would just encourage you if
you already have one of those books. I need some
little reports on Amazon where you can order it and
(03:20):
find it on our website. Anyway, I want to move
on into what I want to get to tonight. I
get to be my own guests tonight, and I have
a special just really I think this is a special meeting,
a special program for tonight, because it's really we've had
(03:42):
some difficult things happened. Charlie Kirk was assassinated yesterday and
today is nine to eleven, and that conjures up some
very difficult thoughts and it's just, you know, basically, we
are living in troubled time and we need to understand
(04:05):
and know that that's where we are and not be
shocked and not be moved by that too much because
and that's where it just says, you know, as you
see the day approaching, encourage one another. And so that's
what I'm trying to do tonight is I want to
encourage you in the Lord tonight. I also want to prophesy,
(04:25):
bring a prophetic word kind of over whoever is watching tonight.
And so I think I have some things that are
very very important, and I want to just begin by
putting up a scripture that it's really, you know, a
very important ones Joshua one nine. It just says, have
(04:49):
I not commanded you? And that's an important word command,
but it says, have I not commanded you? Be strong
and be of good courage. Do not be afraid nor
be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you
(05:10):
wherever you go. You know, that's a wonderful, blessed promise.
And we need to know, and we need to understand
our God doesn't never leaves us, never forsakes us. He's
not he doesn't leave us as an orphan. He's always
has us on his mind. And whatever whether there's troubles
(05:32):
coming our way or whether there's there's just wonderful bliss
in our in our path, it doesn't really matter, because
God loves us anyway, and he cares for us, and
he never he never gets out of our sight. He
wants to go through things with it with us, and
he wants to bring us out victorious every time. And
(05:55):
it's a sad day in America. It's really you know,
some issues with that. We're going to kind of talk
about that a little bit, but I just want to
encourage you that just because a good man passed away,
we lost a wonderful patriot and a very strong man
(06:21):
of God, and he has two little children that are
left behind. And why there is such evil in this world,
why there are people that would celebrate his death is
really beyond me. I really can't understand that. But you
do understand that there's just two kinds of people in
(06:42):
the world.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
They either have been they have a regenerated heart and
they're made new and they know God, or they do not,
and they're living in the old, sinful nature that they
were born with. And so unless you been born again.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Then you have you haven't.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You don't have the capacity to love and understand and
too and to reckon with the day that's in front
of you. Unfortunately, you have no destiny that's good, and
I pray for you if that's If that is you, you
(07:26):
need to be born again. Find a Bible somewhere. Just
understand that Jesus told Nicodemus unless you unless you're born again,
you can't see into heaven. You can't see the Kingdom
of God at all. You really can't comprehend what life
is UH and how to live life in a blessed
(07:50):
way if you're if you're not born again, I highly
recommend you to find that book that I was advertising.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Will Ago.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
The first part of it will tell you how to
get there. But anyway, I wanted to press on depth depth.
The rest of us understand that God has good plans.
He's got He's got a good future, is a future
of hope, and a future that that designed to prosperous
(08:18):
and be and keep us keep us going.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And so I have some thoughts that I just want
to share and I want to speak prophetically. As I
said earlier, I believe God is up to something very good.
I really do. I believe that God has got is
the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. And
so I know that He's up to something good. And
(08:45):
I know that, you know, sometimes in the darkness of
the day, when we when we think back about nine
eleven and how evil and how atrocious that that event
was going forward or to begin BEng Ghazi and for UH,
some of the Afghanistan things, and just a lot of
(09:07):
a lot of evil doing that's been going on in
the world. The wars that are raging right now, but
that with Israel and and that, and and with the
Ukraine and all of the you know, all the stuff
that's going on. There's just evil in our world. And
even in our own country we have you know, shootings
(09:30):
and and people that are killing people on buses for
no reason whatsoever. Charlie Kirk being shot down, and a
young man thirty thirty one, little children, wonderful wife and
and just just a man who trying to stand up
and and and speak plainly and tell the truth. And
(09:56):
there just seems to be people evil enough that want
to hide and and take and take a life that
doesn't belong to them. It's it's it's unfathomable all together.
But you know, nine to eleven was that's the day
that we're in where we're in nine to eleven right now,
(10:18):
and you know, three thousand people just for no reason whatsoever.
You know, people flying into into twin towers and taking
that many lives all at one time. It's just there's
much evil in the world. But what I want to
say to you is I want to remind you that
(10:41):
you are the.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Light of the world.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
There's much darkness, there's even deep darkness in our world today.
But I'm telling you you are the light. And you
have the understanding, and you have the born again spirit,
you have the spirit of odd inside of you. And
so according to Jeremiah, we we don't need to lose heart.
(11:06):
We don't need to be afraid. We don't need to
be fearsome and and and.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Cowardly.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
But we need to We need to you know, know
that the world has some surprises coming, and they're not
they're not going to be good. But we can move
through them. And we can do it victoriously when we
obey and and and you know, follow what God says.
(11:35):
When we when we respond and react the best way
when something when tragedy strikes, When when we when we
speak and believe the right things, we'll see grand results.
We'll see great results. But when we obey and the
(11:57):
follow the Holy Spirit and let him lead us, uh,
he will lead us in a great way and we'll
have great impact in the world.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
All of us, all of us have.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
The the miraculous uh, you know, resurrection power inside of
our inside of us. His name is Jesus Christ, He
dwells there by the Holy Spirit that lives and dwells
and has has his being in us. And so I
(12:34):
just I just want to encourage you right now. I
want to I want to speak the word of encouragement
over everybody that's listening to my program tonight, because it's
it's a time such as this to where we stand
up and where we make we make the strength of
the Lord and the and the true blessing of the
(12:54):
Lord revealed. Because perfect love, the perfect Love of God,
cast out all fear. And so there's no reason for
us to walk in fear. If somebody destroys this body
that you know, it's not the end of me or
(13:16):
you were. We are going to live eternally. We're going
to live with Him forever. So to be absent from
this body is to be present with the Lord. That's
where Charlie Kirk is. That's where you know, many of
those three thousand that were taken down in nine to
eleven in Ghazi and all these other places that I mentioned.
(13:40):
People made heaven if they're believing, if they confess with
their mouth and believed in their heart that Jesus Christ
is Lord, they are and were saved and that applies to.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
You and your loved ones as well.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So I just want to you know, first of all,
I just want to uh, some of us have been
kind of in bondage or in a place that you know,
we we don't feel exactly like this is the best,
(14:19):
this is the number one thing, this is the best
that God has for me. And there's some of us
have been in that state for a very long time.
And I believe that this is a new day. I
believe God is breaking out. Uh some of those positions
that we've had in have been have been in. And
(14:42):
uh so I believe that, you know, the the problem
that you have had, the issue that you've been in
is possibly you know, both past and present. It's possibly
the the buried gate that that you're fiction to go through.
(15:09):
It's it's it's the victory. It's a victory gate for
you right now, because I believe God is starting to
move people out of where they were and into place
for which He has made ready for us. I think
(15:29):
this is an unusual time and I believe that God
is setting up his theater of war, if you will,
and and I think he is moving his soldiers around
into and positioning, positioning us in places that we're supposed
(15:49):
to be, the place that we were designed to be,
and we will fulfill our destiny and our we will
fulfill some of those dreams that we have had for long,
long periods of time, and we'll begin to see some
of those things come to fruition that we were not
(16:10):
have not been able to see as yet. But I
just believe that that day is coming. I believe it's
a gate of it's a victory gates. It's a gate
that that's opening up to to freedom and to a
new season of breakthrough for our lives. And I believe
(16:30):
that today is really a new day for a lot
of people, a new opportunity for you, and your past
problems are really the building material that for your life,
for your new life and your new purpose.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I believe you.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I believe some of the things that you've been through
are actually going to be a benefit from you have.
Let me let me just kind of refer you back
to a story, a biblical story, and a story of
Joseph is one that I really think is is apropos
for this particular word that I'm giving out right now,
(17:10):
Because Joseph had some dreams, and whenever he told them, well,
then they they put him in a in a weird place,
and they were from God. They were you know, they
were they were a plan, they were a vision, and
they were accurate and true.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
But whenever he.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Gave them out a little earlier or whatever, you know,
it just it wound up. He wound up kind of
you know, putting him in the in the pit, first,
in Potiphar's house second, and then even on into the
to a jail house. And but all of those stops
along the way, all all of those experiences, I believe
(17:53):
God was building character into his life. And I think
a lot of people, a lot of us have have
gone through some we've had some pits, and we've had
some jail experience, and we've had we've had some you know,
we've just had some some rough places. And it really
maybe you know, it doesn't fit in too much with
(18:17):
the with the vision, with the dream that God gave
us about what he wants for our life. And yet
we know that He's still working those things together for
good for those who love him and are called according
to his purpose. I believe you're called according to his purpose.
(18:37):
I do I believe I believe many many, many of
us have kind of given up on our dreams because
we've seen so we've been in the jail house a
long too long, we've been in the in the pit,
or we've been you know, in a in a place
where you know, we've.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Been accused or abused in some way.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And and so I just speak healing to you right
now in Jesus' name, restoration, fullness, and and and a
development of that of that character that that can only
come from from from a strengthening and uh so you know, uh,
(19:15):
he he got that, he developed that character that he
needed for the palace. He got that wisdom that he
needed to serve as serve the king. The king, okay,
and you need to be able to.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Be empowered as well.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And you're you're being made ready to serve the King.
And I believe that was my whole heart. I believe
that as for our our place right now, that I
really believe that it's really important that we understand that
(19:54):
we've been prepared, we're ready.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
And I know many many people that that have they
they they are very strong in the Lord. They have.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Just felt like they've been displaced and uh and just
not fulfilled the the things that God has shown that
you know, put in their heart that they wanted wanted
to get to. I believe that that's that's coming. I
believe that I believe that this is the time. Now
is the time.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
This is a victory gate that you're fixing to go through.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
In Jesus Mighty name. So I just declare and decree
that over you. If if what I said touches your heart,
you grab hold of that and you say, okay, I
receive it, and and show me that gate help me
walk right through that.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And so I just.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Really do believe that there is that darkness that's out there,
and I think we're going to see even more.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Honestly, I do.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I believe that we're fixing to go through an economic crunch.
I think where there's going to be some dark days in.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Ahead of us.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I know the enemy is not giving up and he's
not slowing down. He thinks somehow he might even win,
and so he is. He has really stirred up at
the moment, I really believe, to try to to try
to get his way, but it's not going to happen.
And you know, we we know that the scripture tells
(21:28):
us that you know it's it is part of the
birth plank pains we don't we believe, we know most
of most Christians understand we're living in in maybe not
the last of the last days, but we might be.
But we know that that the days are growing darker.
(21:49):
You know, it says it says that you know it'll.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Be it'll be like Noah's days.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It will be like you know, some other gives us
examples and we can look and kind compare that generation
tires and we can we can know that you know,
there there's some issues, there's some issues that are out there,
and uh, is he able to bring in a great
harvest here at the end? I believe he can. I
(22:15):
believe he will, and I believe he'll do it by
using us, flowing through us. That's the way he sets
up things. That the way he does things he does.
Not even the angels get to come and proclaim the gospel.
We have that as a responsibility. Not even you know,
we have the the the authority that He has given us.
(22:38):
And if you're born again filled with the Holy Spirit,
you've been empowered and and from on high with gifts
and with power to raise the seity to heal the sick,
to raise the dead, to you know, cast out the
demonic forces, to preach the kingdom right now in this time,
(23:05):
we have been empowered through authords He to be able
to do great exploits. And then on top of that,
we've been given wonderful gifts. Uh Galatians, go find go
find them in your Bible, because you need to know
what those gifts are, and you need to know which
one He said. The Word says that he gives everyone.
(23:25):
Every believer has several of those gifts, not just one,
but multiple wonderful gifts that we have been given and
empowered with. It might be, you know that that we
have a gift of faith, or it might be that
we have a gift of healing, and we might have
you know, there's any number of there's nine different ones
(23:49):
that I know of it that that just drive off
the top of my head. You know that they're very powerful,
that we can prophesy, that we can you know, do
They're just all kinds of good, good things in there.
And now that belongs to us, it belongs to the believer.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We have these.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Wonderful, powerful things, giftings and blessings and authority that we
are designed to walk in. The enemy is equipped with
a lie. He's already defeated. He's already been defeated, and
he is under God's foot. But he left us to
(24:34):
rule and reign in this world until he returns. And
so that's our job. That's what we need to be
about doing. And we need to be able to rise
up and do that what it says. And you know,
we're given such wonderful promises. I mean, the first John
(24:56):
four seventeen says as he he is, so are we
in this world. In other words, we're just like Jesus.
We're walking around and we're able to do good just
like he did. We're empowered with the same kind of
spiritual giftings, the same kind of authority that he walked
(25:18):
around in while he was on this earth. He left that,
He passed that to us to be able to operate
and flow in. And we are the light of the world.
We are the power that restrains the forces of darkness.
We are the overcomers. We are the ones that have
(25:41):
the ability to flip the switch on, turn on the light,
and the darkness be dispelled. It's just that simple, profound,
but that's who we are, and that's what we have.
That's the opportunity tea that we have, you know, And
(26:06):
I know I want to stir you up just and
give you a little quick reminder of our founding father's death.
I'm doing this kind of on on on on the
heels of Charlie Kirk's passing yesterday. You know, we need
to engage ourselves in political activity as well. Jesus bumped
into political leaders and spiritual leaders right and left. He
(26:31):
didn't you know, he didn't bow down, cow down to anyone.
And there is no separation of church and state, by
the way, that's not in there. That is not part
of our government. That is a lie from the pit
of heaven.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I mean pit of hell. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That is not a blessing that came from heaven. It's
a lie from the pit. And I'm just telling you
that's not That's not what our constitution says, and that's
not what our founding fathers stood on and and and
in Charlie Kirk's behalf, I just I just really want
to quote you a little a little just just just portion,
(27:16):
just kind of a a little reminder from kind of
the final line that's in the Declaration of Independence, and
it just says we mutually these are these were our
founding fathers and they and they wrote on this document
called the Declaration of Independence. He says, we mutually pledge
(27:41):
to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I'm just telling you that's the kind of attitude we
need to step into as believers and patriots. We need
to be patriots of these United States because it is
it is the most blessed kingdom that exists in the
world right right now. And it's that way because it
(28:13):
was founded on the principles and precepts of the Scripture.
That's the only reason that we are head and shoulders
above the rest of the world. And that's really where
we want to return to. We don't want to lose
why our founding fathers paid high process for. We need
(28:36):
to return to mutually pledging to.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
One another.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Our very very you know, lives are very, our fortunes,
our sacred honor.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I don't know what happened to honor in the world today,
but it's it pretty thin.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's kind of.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Hard to find, and it's about time that Americans start
picking it back up and wearing it once again, walking
in honorably amongst each other, doing the right thing, holding
up the right precepts, and demanding the right the righteousness
(29:24):
of Christ Jesus be revealed through men, you know. And
we need to vow our very fortunes, the things that
we have in this world. We need to be able
and willing to give up those things, in able to
(29:45):
take care of mankind and to create a strong nation
that's based on moral issue. The law of our land
is based in the morality of the scriptures, the truth
that sets men free. And I'm just telling you that
(30:08):
there's just so such importance to that. And you know,
it's all it's upt.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Us individually, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Hebrews eleven one, it just basically says, now, faith is
the assurance, or in another translation, it says the substance
of things hoped for, the conviction, or in the other translation,
evidence of the things not of things not seen. You know, faith,
(30:48):
you can't see it with your physical eyes.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You just have to believe in it.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But there is a true substance to it, and it
manifests itself. It uses things in reality. If you believe,
you will see those things come to fruition. And if
you you know, if you walk in the faith of God,
(31:14):
you will see the results that He has intended for us,
and the destiny that He has plotted and planned and.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Given to every one of us. When we see you.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Know, nine to eleven and ben Benghazi in election frauds,
and the evil that's in the streets of our cities,
and and you know, the assassinations, the attempts and polition. Darkness, yes,
even deep darkness. We must rise up. We can't just
(31:49):
we can't just say, oh, we're defeated. Oh there's nothing
we can do about it.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
No, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
We can do it. We can take charge of it.
We have the authority and the power to do all
that we all that needs to be done. We are
and have We are and we have the answer.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
We we are the lot of the world. We are
the hope of glory. We are empowered for great exploits,
and we have a purpose that we need to fulfill.
God will reveal it to us if we just ask
him and ask for the direction, and we can affect
(32:39):
that darkness. We can affect this this this world we
can have We can make a big difference. We need
to be like the sons of Isakar. And we need
to be able to discern the times that we live in,
and we need to know what to do about it,
And you don't want Through Christ, we can do all
(33:03):
these things. Through Christ, we can discern the We can
we can we can understand, we can know, we can
have knowledge of what the enemy has planned against us,
and we can and we can overshadow it. We can
overcome it. We can sit in trapments for for the
enemy rather than him sitting in trapments for us. We
(33:26):
need to know what time we're in. We need to
know how what to do about it, how to respond.
We need to know, you know, if we're if there's
a financial crunch coming, and there is, we need to
know how to position ourselves. We need to know what
to do about it. We need to know what we
(33:47):
need to invest in. We need to understand that, you know,
the cash we have may may may lose by drop
by fifty percent, even overnight banks may close. It's happened
before it can happen again. And you know, we can't
(34:07):
just go around blindly thinking that nothing is going to
change and nothing is going to happen. And we can
just keep on doing things that are detrimental to us
as a nation and get bye with it.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
We just.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You know, what is the definition of insanity is keep
on doing the same thing and thinking and expecting different results. Now,
you can't just kick the can down the road forever
and expect that that's going to keep on working.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
And I believe that we're very close to a you know,
a reset. There's been a lot of talk about reset,
and I believe that and truly there is a reset coming.
It may not be comfortable, but my friend, you need
to be you need to be inquiring of the Lord.
What do I do? How do I get prepared? How
do I position myself to where I can come through
(35:05):
this thing victoriously and help other people? How can I
poise my my myself in a position to where I
can be a blessing? And I can you know, wave
the way, come, come this way. I found a good
I found a good way.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
And we don't need to be deceived by things that
are that are presenting it said their self is an
answer and uh, you know, I don't know, And certainly
this isn't you know, economic advice or anything like that.
I'm not a I'm not an economy an economic person
(35:46):
or whatever you know. I'm I'm not a financial advisor,
but I'm just saying you need to get your you
need to get your take a long look at your
finances and where you are. You need to get out
of debt that's at all possible, and you need to
put your savings in something that's tangible rather than something
(36:08):
that like cash or stock markets, uh, stuff that can
go poof and it's gone, because all of that can
and will find something tangible, find you know, maybe silver, gold,
maybe big coin, but I don't think so it needs
(36:29):
to be proven. Maybe land, maybe you know other investments
that have some real solid you know that it's real.
You can hold on to it, you can you own it,
you possess it, and it will make you strong to
be It will give you something that as we go
(36:50):
through an economic crunch you can survive.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
You're going to do all right.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You're going to be able to have what you need
to make it through. And maybe it's so, maybe it's hard.
I don't know, but I do know that these are
the kinds of things that are going to be difficult,
and they're going to come but I'm just telling you,
just like Joseph back here, the one that we mentioned earlier,
(37:15):
he wound up, you know, possessing having the king give
him the land of Goshen, and the Israelites later on
were able to go to the land of Goshen, and
they were protected in that they didn't go through all
of the the bad things that happened to the Pharaoh
(37:38):
and whatnot. Whenever Moses came and and uh and and
and delivered the people out out of there. You know it.
We have the ability to step in under the things
of God, the power of God, the blessing of God,
and we just need to get heart to heart. We
just need to take time to pray, to ask him
(38:00):
to to set before the King of kings and get
the information we need how to rule and reign in
our own life. And then we'll be able to have
a say and being able to encourage other people that
that need that same kind of blessing and help help
(38:22):
them lock hold by faith to the things that they
need as well. And so I want to I want
to just kind of wrap this thing up a little bit.
The victory is ours. We've already Jesus already won two
thousand years ago, just still done. He won, but he
leaves it to us to rule and reign from from
(38:45):
until he returned. So we occupied, we occupy, and we
and we and we should be ruling and reign and
we should have the authority. We should be in control,
if you will, these days until he shows up and
we get to suit up with him, and and and
(39:07):
uh and and go and rule and reign with him.
Excuse me, the victory's already ours. It's already been one
we have.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
But we have to suit up and show up. Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
It's it's not just a gimme deal. We have an act.
We have a we have a part to play in it.
We need to stand in the authority and power that
he's been that that we've been given. We need to
fulfill our purpose in the now, in the in the
right now, and the in the present day. We have
purpose in today and now is the time of salvation.
(39:47):
Today is the day, you know, the blessing of the
Lord coming coming in. So we need to be able
to stand in that authority and the power. We need
to fulfill our purpose. We need we need to understand
that trouble is on the way, but Praise God. Victory
is already ours and we are going to be the
(40:11):
one that comes through it with the victory because it's
already won for us. It's already a done deal. Joseph
took them through the trouble that was that they were facing.
They he knew how to prepare because he got in
touch with God, and he knew how to prepare the nation,
(40:35):
the nations really UH for the drought, for the for
the bad time, for the for the uh reset that
was coming their way, and uh. And he had he
got the wisdom of the Lord and he and he
got the plan from God, and he.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Knew what to do.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
He knew what the what to do about it, and
he knew how to how to take the people successfully through.
And listen to me, you have the same God he did,
and you have the same ability to contact and hear
from that God who will give you all the information
you need. He has given us all things for life
(41:21):
and godliness. He's not withholding from us. But we have
to inquire and and acknowledge the wisdom that He wants
to hand us and then operate in it, obey it,
fulfill it, perform it.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
And victory is already.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Ours, so so powerful, so important. It's just just so
so important. So I want to encourage you tonight. I
just speak prophetically over you. There's some of you are
breaking out, uh and uh some of us are are
are are are going into and we're going to both
(42:08):
be victorious. And so there there there, there's going to
be some some good things happening and some bad things
happening all at the same time. Don't let that confuse you.
You just stay with your with with the things that
God has told you to do, and you'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
I just want to encourage you that.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
God has the answers you're looking for, you need, and
he has the success for you to walk in.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Just believe me it is the truth, because it's scriptural. God.
God has given us all all things.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
That we have need of knowing, and he'll he'll he'll
let us have his mind to think with. We can
have the mind of Christ. You have the revelation that
we need in the moment, and as we follow his recommendation,
(43:09):
just like he did. He said, I look to the
Father and I see what he's doing, and that's what
I do. That's what I say, And that's exactly that
we have the Holy Spirit. We can look to the
Holy Spirit and we can see what He's doing, and
we can do that same thing, and He will lead
us and guide us and and give us every step
(43:32):
that we need to be successful to walk and maneuver
through whatever the enemy has in mind. Be blessed, be powerful,
and be on top of everything in a God in
the in the way that God wants you to be.
(43:53):
And so I just speak blessings over you.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
And encourage you.
