Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, family, this is your host Pat Randall on Declaring
the Finished Work. I am in the midst of making
a transition for this particular season and being led by
the spirit of God to move into a different area. Therefore,
(00:31):
this will be my last episode of Declaring the Finished
Work on when Christians Speak Talk Radio on Blog Talk Radio, and.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I am sad about the transition, but also I have
a high expectation of.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What God is doing, not just only in my life,
but in the life of believers. During this season, we
are being challenged, we are being knocked down, but not
knocked out. We have this spirit that lives on the
(01:14):
inside of us that causes us to continue to move
forward and to trust in God and to have hope
and to know that everything is working together for good
in our lives. So I'm going to play a previously
(01:35):
recorded broadcast today and I will also along with my
daughter Jordana Cunningham, We're going to do a video together
and just to express our experience over the years with
When Christians Speak Talk Radio as well as how God
(01:57):
used this broad cast to not just minister to others,
but to minister to us as hosts. And we're grateful
We're grateful to the founder, Reverend Ray Rose, who is
currently living in Virginia as we speak. And I'm thankful
(02:20):
for this brother. He has such an open heart, his
love is unconditional. He has allowed us to express who
we are through the When Christians Speak Talk Radio Network,
and we're grateful. We're very grateful for him for his
(02:42):
loving heart, for his open spirit and allowing to let
God speak through him and to move his agenda out
of the way and to just trust God and trust
the spirit of God in others. So thank you, Reverend
Ray Rose. So this is the last formerly recorded broadcast
(03:10):
for this year for declaring the finished work. Thank you
listeners family for just supporting us, and hopefully you will
continue to support When Christians Speak Talk Radio Network. Check
out our Facebook page, check out our website when Christianspeak
(03:34):
dot com, and just continue to be blessed by the
various hosts that have been on this Christian network for
a number of years and have blessed us and have
encouraged us. So we thank God for his faithfulness to
(03:56):
us and knowing that all things are working together for
good in our lives and that we can trust God
and not trust the things that we see, because most
often they change. Amen. Everything here on this plane is temporal.
(04:19):
So we seek the things that are spiritual, which never rust,
which never decay, which travel with us in whatever state
that we're in. Praise God and God Bless you guys,
Love you bye.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I say when you wake me.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
In the morning, I say at the going down the same.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I say yes.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
To your weeed, and I'll say.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
To your way. I say, who, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 5 (05:50):

Speaker 1 (06:53):
As a five to one C three nonprofit ministry, all
of your gifts are taxed. So go out to our
website www. Dot when Christians speak dot com. God bless you.
(07:19):
So let's get started. I am going to speak about
deep waters and being known by our love. Amen. Father,
I want to thank you for this time, and I
thank you that you will breathe life into what I
(07:42):
am speaking, that your precious Holy Spirit will guide me
to only say what needs to be said during this time.
And I thank you for your faithfulness to us even
when we're faithless, and for your love that is unconditional,
(08:04):
and for Jesus Christ being the standard showing us and
guiding us. And what is the way, the truth and
the life, and we give things Amen. Amen. I had
(08:27):
to give a lot of thought to what I was
going to say on the broadcast today because there's so
much going on and we cannot ignore and teach as usual.
This is not a teaching as usual moment, and we
have to recognize the season that we're in. These are
(08:48):
troubling times, and yet Christians have become more selfish and
more self centered. We quote the scriptures that prophesie of
these end times. And we hold fast to the scriptures
that say believers are going to be okay, that we're
going to be fine, that we're going to have the victory.
(09:11):
But what about the world. Jesus died for the world.
Jesus died for the world. He didn't come to judge them,
but to save them. The world all people. When it
uses the word world, is talking about all the people
(09:33):
of the earth. So how can we not be concerned
about all people and see and and and and see
people as as as our enemy when the enemy has
been clearly exposed in the scriptures. Jesus exposed the enemy.
He came, and not only did he come to show
(09:57):
us our father and to show us the love that
the Father has for us, the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit, the love that they have for us,
but he came to show us who our true enemy was.
(10:19):
Because we've been so busy fighting among ourselves. Our battle
is not against flesh and blood. It's easier, of course,
to come against people than to actually deal with the
demons within us. Within us, it is easier to stay
(10:45):
on the surface of the scriptures than to do the deep,
oftentimes painful, look at what the scriptures are telling us.
Showing us the Holy Spirit through the scriptures will expose
what's in your heart and mind. And also for us
(11:09):
to be not also, but for us to be able
to courageously look at what's in us, what's in our hearts,
so what's in our minds. We need to be rooted
and grounded in our true identity as children of God.
(11:30):
So no matter what the Holy Spirit shows us that
we can look, we can look at it and face
it and realize that that's a shadow of who I am,
that's not truly who I am. The world is not
(11:55):
convinced by our words words and absolutely nothing. We get
tons of words. We're actually inundated with words coming from
all sources, all manner of sources, doctrine, theology, etc. It
(12:16):
means nothing to the world. It is our actions that
speak louder than words. What are our actions saying to
people who are watching? The church has falsely believed that
if we are all on the same page with our
(12:36):
doctrine and theology, then we can achieve the unity of faith.
I'm going to move into some scriptures at this point.
I'm going to start with Ephesians. For no, no, no,
(12:59):
I'm not going to Stary, aren't there. I want to
start with Galatians chapter three, and I'm just gonna read
one verse, and that's twenty eight. And this particular verse
actually speaks of the fact that you know, we are
all one, which means we are all on the same footing.
(13:21):
No matter how you see yourself in this world, with
your degrees, the money you earn, the success that you have,
it means absolutely nothing. We are all the same. So
this scripture Galatians three, verse twenty eight says, there is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bun nor free,
(13:44):
there is neither male nor female. For ye are all
one in Christ Jesus. Then we have well. Before I
read this next scripture, I just want to comment on
the fact that if you go into most churches it's
(14:08):
here in America at least at least I should say,
the United States, it doesn't look like there's neither Jew
nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor neither male nor female,
that we are all one. The structure of these organizations
(14:33):
actually say the opposite, because certain people are on certain
levels and depending on how much knowledge you have, which
I will address in another scripture that talks about knowledge,
that it puts you on a different level than anyone else,
(14:58):
and that you are able to to speak to people
as if you've already attained this place. Let's go to
John chapter thirteen. I'm gonna start in verse thirty five.
I'm gonna read verse thirty four and thirty five.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
For me.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
When I read this, it's telling me that love is
the identifier. So if people want to know who we are,
love is what identifies who we are. Starting in verse
thirty four, a new commandment I give to you. This
is Jesus speaking, a new commandment. I give to you
(15:46):
that you love one another just as I have loved you.
Not just not the way you want to love someone else,
but the way Jesus has loved you. So just as
I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
(16:09):
By this, all people will know that you are my disciples.
If you have love for one another, that's the identifier.
That is what the world needs to see. Let's go
to Ephesians four, and I'm gonna start in verse thirteen
(16:38):
through sixteen. It says, and he gave the apostles, the prophets,
the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers to equip the saints
for the work of ministry, for building up the body
of Christ. So that's an incredible responsibility. If you're an
apostle or a prophet, evangelists, or a shepherd, whatever you
(17:00):
want to call yourself or teacher, your job is to
equip God's people, to equip us for the work of ministry,
for the building up of the Body of Christ. And
if you're engaged in anything else other than that, you
(17:24):
have lost sight of your true purpose what you are
meant to do within the body of Christ. Verse thirteen says,
until we all attain to the unity of faith and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
(17:49):
the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer
be children tossed to and fro by the waves, and
carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning,
human cunning, craftiness, by craftiness and deceitful schemes, deceitful schemes.
(18:19):
And what I am seeing, it's too many people who
are supposed to have the responsibility of equipping us that
they are being very cunning and crafty and deceitful in
their schemes. They have their own personal agendas a men,
(18:41):
And to pull off your personal agenda, you gotta be
in control. You got to be able to control the
minds of people. Verse fifteen says, rather speaking the truth
in love, we are to grow up in every way
into Him who is the Head, into Christ, from whom
(19:07):
the whole body joined and held together by every joint.
Christ is holding us together. We have to remember that
we're not in control of that. This is something that
has been done through Christ has joined us and held
(19:30):
us together. And yet our claim is that what we're
doing and saying, it's supposed to keep us united and
to give us everything that we need. But if you
(19:54):
look out and see how that's working, not very well,
because they're not speaking the truth in love. Okay, let
me finish this verse sixteen, From whom the whole body
joined and held together by every joint with which it
is equipped, when each part is working properly, okay. When
(20:19):
each part is working properly, okay, makes the body grow
up so that it builds itself up in love. So
when this thing is working the way it's supposed to
be working. What it's saying is that it will make
the body grow the Body of Christ so that it
(20:43):
builds itself up in love. That's key, that it builds
itself up in love. First Corinthians, Chapter thirteen, very well known.
I'm just gonna read verse eight. In verse thirteen, I
(21:03):
would suggest that all the scriptures that I quote, we'll
just read the whole chapter. Just read the whole chapter. Okay, Okay,
let's start verse eight. Love never ends. Okay, that's a
very profound statement. It starts off, love never ends. As
(21:26):
for prophecies, they will pass away. As for tongues they
will cease. As for knowledge, it will pass away. Think
about that. Think about that. And I think we're at
a place now because we're not operating in love, that
(21:48):
we are hearing prophecies, that some strange prophecies actually and
the knowledge strange knowledge or knowledge being manipulated according to
a particular agenda that has nothing to do with God.
(22:14):
But see, all of this is passing away. I can actually,
as I'm looking at it, I can at this, at
what is happening in these church organizations. I can see
it passing away. Because you can't. Really, it's getting to
the point where you can't rely on prophecies unless you're
(22:38):
truly operating in a discerning spirit. And because we're not
at that point where we're discerning spiritually, discerning these prophecies
and these tongues and this knowledge, a man, it's not
going to get the job done. It's a temporary thing
(23:02):
because it's all going to pass away. It's all gonna
pass away, because unlike love, it will pass it will.
Love never ends. But the prophecy and the tongues and
the knowledge it will pass away because we know. This
is what verse nine is saying. For we know in part,
(23:24):
and we prophesy in part. We don't want to acknowledge that.
But when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
Verse thirteen, the final verse of the chapter, says, So
now faith, hope, and love abide these three. But the
(23:49):
greatest of these is love. I'm going to stop right there.
This is a time where I see a lot of
failure in our leaders to prepare us for these times,
(24:11):
to prepare us to be able to see truth in
the midst of all these lies and these divisions, and
and it's just it's just crazy. The stuff that that
that you hear these days and just just very convoluted ideology.
(24:35):
It's it's it's that time. But we know that our
Lord and Savior was not unaware of of of of
what we would be facing during this time. And I
thank him that the voices will continue, continue to rise
(25:00):
up and expose the lies that are being delivered in
these church organizations that are leading people in the opposite
direction of the teachings of our Lord. And say to
Jesus Christ, so Father, as I close this out, I
(25:23):
thank you that your spirit will reach through these airways
and as people are hearing that strongholds, mental strongholds will
be broken so that the truth can get into the
(25:47):
hearts of your people. They're being deceived. But I thank
you that even when we're faithless, you're faithful. I can
rest in that knowing that you're the same yesterday, today
and forevermore. Thank you for loving us, Thank you for
(26:10):
your mercy and your grace. And I pray this in
the name of Jesus. Amen. Well, thank you for joining
me today, and I hope you'll be with me next
week and we'll see what the Lord has to say
to us next week. Praise God. So as you begin
a new calendar year, that you don't pressure yourself and
(26:38):
stress yourself out, but move in a spirit of love,
because you know love energizes us. It does. Love energizes us,
and it energizes us in a very positive way, as
opposed to what hate does to us, which is the
opposite of that blast. Love you next week. I'll see
(27:04):
you next week. And I just remember even the broadcast
schedule is first and second Thursdays of every month. Amen,
thank you for listening. Bye.

human cunning, craftiness, by craftiness and deceitful schemes, deceitful schemes.
(18:19):
And what I am seeing, it's too many people who
are supposed to have the responsibility of equipping us that
they are being very cunning and crafty and deceitful in
their schemes. They have their own personal agendas a men,
(18:41):
And to pull off your personal agenda, you gotta be
in control. You got to be able to control the
minds of people. Verse fifteen says, rather speaking the truth
in love, we are to grow up in every way
into Him who is the Head, into Christ, from whom
(19:07):
the whole body joined and held together by every joint.
Christ is holding us together. We have to remember that
we're not in control of that. This is something that
has been done through Christ has joined us and held
(19:30):
us together. And yet our claim is that what we're
doing and saying, it's supposed to keep us united and
to give us everything that we need. But if you
(19:54):
look out and see how that's working, not very well,
because they're not speaking the truth in love. Okay, let
me finish this verse sixteen, From whom the whole body
joined and held together by every joint with which it
is equipped, when each part is working properly, okay. When
(20:19):
each part is working properly, okay, makes the body grow
up so that it builds itself up in love. So
when this thing is working the way it's supposed to
be working. What it's saying is that it will make
the body grow the Body of Christ so that it
(20:43):
builds itself up in love. That's key, that it builds
itself up in love. First Corinthians, Chapter thirteen, very well known.
I'm just gonna read verse eight. In verse thirteen, I
(21:03):
would suggest that all the scriptures that I quote, we'll
just read the whole chapter. Just read the whole chapter. Okay, Okay,
let's start verse eight. Love never ends. Okay, that's a
very profound statement. It starts off, love never ends. As
(21:26):
for prophecies, they will pass away. As for tongues they
will cease. As for knowledge, it will pass away. Think
about that. Think about that. And I think we're at
a place now because we're not operating in love, that
(21:48):
we are hearing prophecies, that some strange prophecies actually and
the knowledge strange knowledge or knowledge being manipulated according to
a particular agenda that has nothing to do with God.
(22:14):
But see, all of this is passing away. I can actually,
as I'm looking at it, I can at this, at
what is happening in these church organizations. I can see
it passing away. Because you can't. Really, it's getting to
the point where you can't rely on prophecies unless you're
(22:38):
truly operating in a discerning spirit. And because we're not
at that point where we're discerning spiritually, discerning these prophecies
and these tongues and this knowledge, a man, it's not
going to get the job done. It's a temporary thing
(23:02):
because it's all going to pass away. It's all gonna
pass away, because unlike love, it will pass it will.
Love never ends. But the prophecy and the tongues and
the knowledge it will pass away because we know. This
is what verse nine is saying. For we know in part,
(23:24):
and we prophesy in part. We don't want to acknowledge that.
But when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
Verse thirteen, the final verse of the chapter, says, So
now faith, hope, and love abide these three. But the
(23:49):
greatest of these is love. I'm going to stop right there.
This is a time where I see a lot of
failure in our leaders to prepare us for these times,
(24:11):
to prepare us to be able to see truth in
the midst of all these lies and these divisions, and
and it's just it's just crazy. The stuff that that
that you hear these days and just just very convoluted ideology.
(24:35):
It's it's it's that time. But we know that our
Lord and Savior was not unaware of of of of
what we would be facing during this time. And I
thank him that the voices will continue, continue to rise
(25:00):
up and expose the lies that are being delivered in
these church organizations that are leading people in the opposite
direction of the teachings of our Lord. And say to
Jesus Christ, so Father, as I close this out, I
(25:23):
thank you that your spirit will reach through these airways
and as people are hearing that strongholds, mental strongholds will
be broken so that the truth can get into the
(25:47):
hearts of your people. They're being deceived. But I thank
you that even when we're faithless, you're faithful. I can
rest in that knowing that you're the same yesterday, today
and forevermore. Thank you for loving us, Thank you for
(26:10):
your mercy and your grace. And I pray this in
the name of Jesus. Amen. Well, thank you for joining
me today, and I hope you'll be with me next
week and we'll see what the Lord has to say
to us next week. Praise God. So as you begin
a new calendar year, that you don't pressure yourself and
(26:38):
stress yourself out, but move in a spirit of love,
because you know love energizes us. It does. Love energizes us,
and it energizes us in a very positive way, as
opposed to what hate does to us, which is the
opposite of that blast. Love you next week. I'll see
(27:04):
you next week. And I just remember even the broadcast
schedule is first and second Thursdays of every month. Amen,
thank you for listening. Bye.
