Speaker 5 (01:58):
To customers, ladies. We're not gonna let them because we've
got the word of God in our hands and our lips,
and we're gonna be using that sort of the spirit
to break off every yoke. Hallelujam. So there's a lot

(02:21):
of news out there, the snap benefits ending always always
you're hearing about the latest thing, the latest thing. When
is it gonna stop being the latest thing? And it's
gonna be the past thing. God's got a plan for
our lives that's much bigger than going from one emergency

(02:43):
to another emergency. And we all here frolicking on the mountains.
It's a beautiful day. This is the Spear Force with
Michael Basham, Fringe Radio Network, get the app, Fringe your
network on Apple and Google Play, support the war effort.

(03:05):
Just got the phone with my wife. There's like a
million things that we're dealing with up here, and you
start to count them all up and you're like, Wow, Lord,
thank you Jesus for the Word of God. Without this
word of God, there would be no hope whatsoever. We
are a recruiting station for the spirit force, the military

(03:27):
of God. We are open to applications. It's called the
prayer closet with the Bible. Many many opportunities. I can't
say that we provide dental insurance, but there is. We
have alien abduction insurance. That was what I was thinking.

(03:49):
We should start marketing as a fundraiser. Are you getting
abducted every night? Well, seriously, we're going to do a
cross Files podcast about super soldiers and some of the
supernatural spiritual warfare topics later today. But I'm going to
get into on this episode. We're going to be reading

(04:12):
the true and false prophets my grandfather's work. I don't
want to just make this whole show about, you know,
the spiritual warfare and the corruption. And there's fear from Russia,
fear from China, fear more fear. No, there's you have
the high ground. You can stand on this word and

(04:34):
you can overcome all the enemy's tactics, all of his plans. Hey, Wesley,
dental would be great. Well, if you live in Taiwan,
then you already have really good dental. I'd say, just
go on a trip to Korea or Taiwan and get
your dental work done. They're great over there. Pray over

(04:56):
your teeth, pray over your body. Get your dental insurance
on your list, get your life insurance. Get filled with
the holy spirits. Speak in tongues. When people bring up
to you all their problems, you combat those problems with
this would of God. You declare the already finished work

(05:16):
of Jesus Christ on that issue. Oh, thank you Lord.
New laptop, but thank you God, my eight year old
laptop is still working. New studio, But thank you Lord
for this studio. Currently, I just praise you God that
you're going to update, update, upgrade, upgrade, new cars, new friends.

(05:38):
I think you were the friends that I do have.
It's just sometimes you're like, I want to do more,
and you've got a lot of issues with the people
that you're working with. Are you in the right community,
should you be in the right are you in the
right echelon? So the way that the kingdom structure operates,

(05:58):
it's not like the military where you have a bunch
of egos where everybody is trying to one up, one up,
one up, and get higher and higher rank. The servant
of all is the greatest in the kingdom. And he
who humbles himself like a little child, you receive the
word like a little newborn baby. That's what's great in

(06:22):
the eyes of God. God will bless that, marvelously bless it.
And intimacy with God, the laying down of our sinful nature,
sinful flesh. What did Eve do? She wanted to control everything.
She was like, here, eat the apple.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Eat it.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Man, you've got to not eat that apple. Your wife
trying to hand you that apple, You say, no, sure ee, ma'am.
And that doesn't mean that you're gonna lord it over
your wife all the time either. There's this interesting interpretation
about the woman. After the fall, you will your desire
will be to actually rule over your husband. That's one interpretato.

(07:09):
I've never heard that, Johnny. If you've ever heard that, Ah,
that's funny. I wish I could read your comment. But
it's a Christian show. Who says bad words on a
Christian show? It's one of my favorite quotes from an
old Iron show. He's like, oh, damn it. Who says

(07:32):
damn it on a Christian show? Well, we are, I
guess The rule in the network is don't use any
words that aren't in the Bible, So technically there are
some words. But yeah, I've gotta probably shave my beard eventually.
It's it's just one less thing to do every day,
you know, shave every day? Are you kidding me? He says,

(07:56):
I don't trust you with the beard. You look like
you're gonna beat me up and rip me off. Maybe
rip me off and then beat my ass. I can't decide.
I've just been out here in mountain country so long.
It's it's cultural appropriation. So this concept of entering into

(08:19):
contractual agreements and then following through, Like what if I
was some kind of con man, and then I got
you to sign here and now here, give me the
keys to your car, and now here, let sign the
title over to me. Well, in the Garden of Eden,
the serpent, first of all, Eve listened and engaged with

(08:44):
the con man, the ancient serpent, the devil, and then
she followed through, and she obeyed, and then she gave
some to her husband, who also ate he was standing
right there. So the curve then was you're going to
desire to your desire is going to be to your

(09:08):
husband and he shall rule over thee. Well, I just
read this yesterday and I never saw this before. This
is so interesting. First of all, I never heard that interpretation.
Have you, Johnny, you've ever heard of this. I'm not
saying I agree or not, but there's certain interpretations that say,
like in the Old King James, it says in verse sixteen,

(09:29):
unto the woman, he said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception in sorrow, thou shalt bring forth children,
and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he
shall rule over thee. And apparently there's another verse or

(09:49):
another interpretation, sorry that that is basically that the desire
that the woman will have will be to rule over
the husband, and that there was a train translation change.
I don't know if that's true or not. By the way,
if you're watching on Faceboogers, we are live on Fringe
radionetwork dot com and that is the new and improved

(10:14):
audio audio and TikTok too. If anybody's on there and
we're broadcasting to Rumble, Hellelijah, make sure my audio is good,
all Nara fink. So, so this is an interesting interpretation.
I'm not saying I have a final thesis on it.
But it's interesting when you look at in a bigger

(10:36):
sense instead of people get all emotional when you talk
about relationships. When you look out and you see how
the world has been dominated by the Babylon system, Babylon
horror system, and she has wanted to rule over everything.
I mean, look at the Internet of things, look at
the fifteen minute cities, look at all their different evil

(10:57):
that they're going on and on on and on, and
I just wonder about, you know, the church. The bride
of Christ is submit, submissive to her husband, and but
what do we see. We see Christians running around trying
to control God, you know, God give me this, God
give me that, and then treating him like a drive

(11:19):
through at McDonald's. I want my healing, I want to
get out of debt. But then I don't want to
be under you. I don't want you to be my lord.
I'm not going to submit to you. I'm gonna try
to control you. God. I want you to do whatever
I want to do, want you to do. And so
that interpretation is kind of interesting. And yeah, Johnny never

(11:44):
heard that either. That is so interesting. I'll have to
look and drink some tea on that too. Thanks for commenting.
I would love to have a website with every comment
we've ever had and every review for every little business

(12:07):
that we're starting that we've ever had, and just save it,
because to me, these words are as precious as when
you guys comment, When you leave a good review on
the podcast on Spotify or iTunes, that's bigger than just
iTunes or Spotify. That's like if you got a letter. C. S.

(12:28):
Lewis used to reply to every single letter he would get,
and I'm sure back then it was not as overwhelming
with no social media, but he would sit down and
he actually wrote a letter to a professor that I
met in Tokyo who had the letter laminated. Imagine having
a letter from C. S. Lewis. It was just a nice, short,
little reply to something he wrote a blessing, but that

(12:51):
man carried that blessing his whole life. What if we
treated our comments more importantly like that more importantly? So
back to that, Uh, typically you women will want to
rule over you, so you have to set limits and
controls on her to keep things even well. People can
stay in their lane, right, like if a man is
trying to do all the cooking and child rearing, and

(13:15):
I mean that's usurping what women are actually much better
at doing that, And don't not saying women all have
to do it. It's better to get really rich and
hire a maid to do it and childcare as a rule.
I mean, we should be making plans to have that
kind of wealth and marching towards that destination. Not well, honey,

(13:39):
we got to seal another card to pay for the
insurance and the credit card. But here's another interesting thing.
So I was reading specifically looking at that, but then
this popped up too. So you know, thy desire shall
be to thy husband, he shall rule over thee. Well,
there goes sin, you know. And then they get kicked

(14:01):
out of the garden. And then verse chapter four, Adam
knew Eve. And then they had Cain and Abel. And
then obviously Cain brought the fruit of the ground as
an offering, but Abel brought the first lings of his
flock and of the fat thereof. So what was the

(14:22):
deal here? Cain? Unto Cain, and to his offering he
had not respect God was not respectful, and Cain was
very wroth, and his countenance fell, and the Lord said,
unto Cain, why art thou wroth? And why is thy
countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?
And if thou doest not well, Sin lieth at the door,

(14:44):
and unto THEE shall be his desire, and thou shalt
rule over him. Now parallel that verse with three sixteen.
Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall
rule over thee. I'm not trying to be a Bible here.
I'm just saying there's a lot of parallel between those
two scriptures, and when we talk about self control, for example,

(15:08):
like crucifying the flesh, not giving into lust, not giving
into backbiting and gossip and jealousy and envy, and not
even just we're gonna be reading my grandfather's book here
a little bit. But it's not just the big heenous sins.
It's also it's also ruling over that thing. And ruling

(15:35):
does not mean micromanaging. If I'm burdened by someone else's sin,
I can go to my prayer closet and pray for
them and get the burden off of me. Because what
sin does is it tries to like one guy's gross sin,
tries to get on everybody else, and then pretty soon
the whole ship is rotten and all the apples are rotten,

(15:56):
and everything's fallen apart, and there's lawsuits. And but what
I'm learning as an intercessor is spending more time in
prayer whenever somebody is burdening me. And it's just like
that uh kind of feeling. I'm sure Johnny's had it
with me when I've missed the mark? What is sin
missing the mark? And it's like, oh, well, I'm pretty

(16:19):
sure Johnny's prayed for me on those kind of times.
It's because he did not bring the Lord his best veggies.
Oh he brought old some old wilted ones, wilted onions
and peels and stuff. That's hilarious. Yes, yeah, I would assume.
I mean, if he was a gardener, then it should

(16:41):
have been it should have been fine that he brought vegetables, right,
I've never heard of any sacrifice being vegetables. Maybe he
should have like bought some sheep. It was like finding
out the hard way, like God doesn't like he's not
a vegetation, doesn't like vegetables. You know, that's a good question. Actually,

(17:06):
Like what what was going on Cain was a tiller
of the ground, and and Cain brought of the fruit
of the ground and offering unto the Lord. So like
that's kind of practical, Like that's what you would expect,
but maybe God didn't tell them. He's like, hey, I
want you know, to cover your sin, you need to
have a blood sacrifice. There's no vegetable sacrifice. There's no

(17:29):
like impossible burger sacrifice. There's something deep to that too.
So I really you know, Oh I never sinned against Johnny.
Oh well, I think Johnny is so like the Lord.
He just forgets when people do make mistakes around him,
he forget. He's quick to forgive. People have told me

(17:51):
they're like they're envious, like how come you have loyal
friends like Johnny? I don't have any friends. It's like, well,
I'm your friend, yeah, but you don't count.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Like what.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
But no, I said, it's not i''s not a real conversation.
It's just but people have said to me about you,
and just having loyal friends is so valuable. And that
being said, I want to promote the fringe radio network
on a higher level. I was telling my wife about

(18:24):
just how great it is to have an app and
to be able to use the Fringe Radio Network app.
You know how much money people spend to get an app.
That's a that is a blessing to know how to
do code and to know how to do all these
different complex operations. So the word is so infinite, Like

(18:48):
we could keep going in and going in and going in,
but it really comes back down to and my wife
was reminding me about this today too. It's just it
comes back down to love and at the heart of everything,
faith and and understanding mysteries, all of the interesting topics
that we explore on Fringe Radio Network and the cross

(19:08):
Files podcast that we're gonna do another episode today at
four o'clock. I don't think it'll be live, so I
shouldn't be promoting it, but go to crossfiles dot org
and that's those are the premium content. I would say.
I like to go live every day because I believe
in the power of the word released as a weapon.
And some people like to criticize the Bible, so I

(19:30):
like to walk around with my Bible as much as possible. Oh,
I was wrong. They did do veggie sacrifices. Okay, interesting,
I didn't know that. That's a good That's why live
is good. So yeah, if you guys are listening to
this wherever you're listening to it, leave a review on Spotify, iTunes,

(19:54):
Spirit Force, and Fringe Radio Network and get the app.
Tell people about it, Pray for us, and if you
want to donate, you can donate at the network website.
On my personal website, you can pray for us most
of all, and word of mouth helps a lot if
you just text somebody and say, you know, this guy

(20:15):
really doesn't know when to stop talking, but maybe you
could just encourage him. Here's his website, here's his podcast,
and listen to the other shows because it's a great
thing to be among hard working warriors. Don't take this
for granted too. You guys take the Internet for granted.
What is it going to be?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Like?

Speaker 5 (20:33):
Ninety percent of the Internet is going to be fake
in twenty twenty six, in a few short months, ninety
percent of the Internet is fake. And we use AI
for stuff. But I'm real, like, if you hear me
on here with some kind of new bad wonky doctrine
worse than usual, I've been through some circles and but

(20:58):
we're getting cleaned up. We're joining with word of faith
fivefold ministry gifts a lot of freedom in there, a
lot of freedom, a lot of expansion room. And I
would just recommend listening to the broadcasts and yeah, let
us know what you think.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
So.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Leviticus twenty three to nine through twenty two describes the
festival of weeks and the grain offerings that accompany it.
Numbers twenty eight one through thirty outlines the daily festival offerings,
including grain offerings. Oh, olive oil. Okay, so there were
other offerings. So maybe then Caine's offering was just not

(21:40):
very good. And this is something I'm learning about tithing.
I'm not telling you guys to tie to us saying
that tithing is a thing. It's a big thing in
the Bible to obey if you want to get out
of the hole. And I've been reading verses in the
Bible about how to receive from God and verses that

(22:03):
you can declare over yourself that my motivation of this
isn't a verse, but this is a quote. My motivation
for accumulation is distribution. I am a source of the
blessing to others, and I love to give amen. I
think this is good for Cain. We should have told
kine this one two Corinthians nine sixty eight. Remember this.

(22:26):
A farmer who plants only a few seeds will get
a small crop, but the one who plants generously will
get a generous crop. You much each decide in your
heart how to give, how much to give, and don't
give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves
a person who gives cheerfully, and God will generously provide

(22:47):
all that you need. Then you will always have everything
you need and plenty leftover to share with others. Amen, hallelujah.
So just see wine was a gift. Okay, give the

(23:10):
give the priests suburban for their for their hard work.
I've literally had we had Costco donating to us, and
some of the donations were were Costco whiskey. It was like, yeah,
these missionaries, they could really use some of this. All right,
I'm gonna jump to Derek Prince The Authority and Power

(23:34):
of God's Word. I like to read a page of this.
There is just a very short little booklet that the
ministry gave us. Actually we've been distributing these we're missionaries
here with even when we do like a door dash
delivery or whatever. Property management house clean. It's all part
of the ministry. We can distribute tracts, booklets, We are

(23:58):
looking at giving away. We've given away our trailer. We've
helped to connect people with donation platforms. After Hurricane Helen,
it's been a lot of weird, wonky weather. Have you
guys seen the weather in Jamaica recently? It looks like
a bomb went off in Jamaica. Praying for the protection

(24:21):
of the people. And as heartbreaking as those videos are,
you can see I see God allowing some of this
sinful artificial weather manipulation. And I mean, what is it
going to take to get you into your Bible? What
is it going to take for a nation like America

(24:41):
to repent, not to vote for Trump, but to repent,
to come back to the Word, to come to God.
And I don't know what the deal is in Jamaica,
but I'm not happy to see what Melissa did there.
But I'm also like, Okay, let's get ready for revival
in a serious way. And I'm just speaking to myself

(25:04):
that I'm getting into this word. I mean, this is
my brand new Bible. I broke in a new Bible
and I can't get out of it. I am absolutely
caught in this word morning, day and night. And I
have little places like places where I start. If I
don't know where to start, I go to the Psalms.

(25:24):
I'll go to specifically, the progenitor of the Psalms was Hannah,
and that prophetic psalm is so excellent. Blow the show
far too, I recommend. All right, we'll be right back.
I'm gonna take a small little break and we will
return in just a moment. Hallelujah. Welcome, my friends, Welcome

(25:49):
to spirit force. Let me.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Cue the powerful music we will be taking over on
all size.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
All the time. Do the word of God. Amen. Okay,

(27:29):
thank you Jesus, we are still here, and praise the Lord.
It's a good thing to be here with y'all. Love
you guys, Thanks for joining us. No tithing, even the
Old testamentunless you're a farmer or rancher workers around alilable
required to tithe, not getting out of anything if you

(27:52):
happen to be selfish and greedy, that's for sure. Yeah,
I'm I'm talking about breaking free from the kind of
like I am my own source of I mean, whatever
the verses are, I mean, it's pretty it's pretty well

(28:15):
known that that all churches and throughout time and the Temple,
and Paul tried to make a point of like, I'm
not gonna you're not gonna need to support me. I'm
gonna work all day every day. But that's not that's
not God's system, that's not what he I mean. It
actually says that they that preach the gospel should live

(28:37):
of the Gospel. And I've always been more of like Paul,
like Okay, I'll just go work all the time and
I'll be a missionary at the same time. But there's
a lot of mess to that and sacrifice. Whereas if
you have if you have people in obedience in a
community with a pastor and the five full ministry gift

(28:59):
and people are doing their jobs, the vision is that
they should get paid. People are used to doing things
for free because there's been so much disobedience to what
the Word says. And some of the poorest people I
know will say that they don't believe in tithing. It's
not a salvation issue, it's not an eternal issue. It's like,

(29:22):
it's just an obedience issue that will bust you out
of the whole of poverty that so many people that
I've known have lived in for so long. But yeah,
giving and being being according to the need, yes, ten percent,
but no percentages is even given. Well, we'll have to

(29:43):
look at that more. I really do believe in breaking
free from just like oh, I did this for you,
and you kind of did this for me, and but
it's kind of vague and instead of let's say I
have a foundation or a trust or some kind of
five oh one C three or something that's charitable that's

(30:05):
on paper, and I'm helping somebody with a really good
deal to rent a car, but then they can't afford
to pay me. And instead of stressing about it and
getting all few me about it, like be like, okay,
well this is this is now not under a profit business,
it's a nonprofit, and this is how much we just

(30:26):
donated to this person that couldn't pay us the two
thousand bucks or whatever. And that goes on the on
the record as a seed, whether the government recognizes it
or not. I'm not an accountant, and I don't really
understand taxes that well. I like how Jesus did taxes.

(30:48):
Bill Johnson's like.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
The Lord was born in the in the barn, and
there was the sheep who said I will keep him warm.
And then there was the pig that said, the cow
said I will feed him, and then there was the
chicken said I will give him of my feathers and
my eggs. And then the fish said, I will pay

(31:14):
his taxes. And then the pig said, I will allow
him to fill me with demons and jump into the ocean.
Bill Johnson love him. I gotta work on my accent,
Bill Johnson accent. But anyway, when you are dealing with

(31:36):
a situation like I am, which I'm used to, the
mess which is really bad. I mean, you don't want
to raise your family and be like, well kids, it's
just a big frey for all.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Just do whatever you want. And that's how we've always
done it. No, we're going to start talking about getting
things in order to where you're you're ready to get
the big bucks. Like you have organized finance, and you
know you have a separate checking account for the tithe.

(32:06):
So when I make a hundred bucks, maybe I put
ten dollars into paying off a debt account, and then
I put ten dollars into the tithe account, and then
I put thirty dollars into going to pay off the
rent account. And just start being organized and start thinking like, Okay,
I'm not going to live in this fighter flight sort

(32:29):
of mess mode. I mean, God is not in a
fight or flight mode. He's not in a rush. He's
never in a rush. Jesus's parables were about building incredible
amounts of wealth in certain cases. And what did he do.
He went around healing people, getting people free from demons.
He wasn't like scratching his head about, oh my gosh,

(32:51):
how are we going to make money for the disciples,
or even when it was it looked like an emergency.
Oh these people, they need to eat. There's just so
many hungry people. It's like, you give him something to eat.
He already knew what he was gonna do. He's trying
to teach us how to feed the five thousand. Don't
go running around listening to every Alex Jones report all

(33:12):
day and then pretend like you have faith. You've got
to have faith before the apocalypse, whatever that looks like,
because when it comes time, you're gonna need to be
able to raise that dead person. You're gonna need to
cleanse that leper. You're gonna need to And so what
happens is you start today this morning. When the devil

(33:34):
tries to throw like a million fastballs at you about
whatever your situation, so and so situation, and a lot
of it is in your head, the devil will try
to get into your head, and if he can't get
you to stop serving God, he'll try to get you
to compromise and put some doubts in and just water

(33:57):
down your conviction. You know, backsliding is a thing that
happens over time. Criminals don't just like I didn't just
become a criminal the day I forgot to shave and
start beating people up and you know, conning them. I'm
just if you weren't here earlier. Johnny says that my

(34:18):
beard makes me look like I could be that kind
of guy. I just think it's a it's a slighty,
slopey way mess into like from this mess to this
mess to this thing to this thing. And the whole time,
all you needed to do was get in the word
and get the word on your lips. And when the
enemy tempts you to break away from the word, then

(34:42):
you really double down and you break into that word.
When the enemy tempts me not to get behind this
microphone and share the truth. Then I get even more adamant,
like we're doing the show, oh man, and get out
that show far and blow it. The adversaries of the

(35:05):
Lord shall be broken to pieces. Out of heaven shall
he thunder upon them. The Lord shall judge the ends
of the earth, and he shall give strength unto his
king and exalt the horn of his anointed. Where is
it in here that I have to do that for myself? See,
I'm putting the Lord on the spot. I'm just getting

(35:27):
my life organized. I'm putting the Lord on the spot
to handle and judge the ends of the earth. Our
prayers are Why Trump is there in Korea getting a
three hundred and fifty billion dollar deal with the Koreans
to raise the tariffs, to remove the tariffs. The Koreans
are going to spend three hundred fifty billion dollars. That's

(35:50):
how much it's worth to them to not have those
tariffs anymore. And what are we doing back home? We're
getting rid of all these EBT waste, billions of dollars
of waste, replace it with tariffs. I mean, this is
called accounting. What did I do? I have some little

(36:11):
things that I've let go for a while that were
online that because I've got different checking accounts. We've got
one checking account for the podcast now and all the bills,
the internet bill, that bill are going through that checking account,
so it's organized. So I'm I'm reviewing. I'm like, well,
why are we paying fifty dollars a month for this?
This could actually be twenty dollars a month. Why are

(36:35):
we in this suit? You know, it doesn't mean all
your messes are going to be fixed at once. One
of the reasons I recommend coming back to the Hannah's
prayer because it's time stamped. It's between a very dark
time in Israel, and she's got an adversary, she's got

(36:56):
her husband had another wife, and because Penn and Hanina
Panina Panina Panina was having all the babies, but Hannah
was the pretty one. And it's pretty obvious to see
what what all Cannah was in. He was he was

(37:17):
having his little you know, the perennial having two wives problem.
And so it says that her adversary also provoked her
sore for to make her fret because the Lord had
shut up her womb. Why did the Lord do that,
I don't know, but she was weeping, she was not

(37:40):
eating year by year. When she went up to the
house of the Lord, she provoked her. So she provoked her.
So this is the adversary. It's really it was Satan.
It wasn't. It wasn't the other wife. And she finally
she's like, look, I have asked of the Lord a son.

(38:03):
If I have this son, I will give him to
the Lord. And she got her way, and she overcame.
And Samuel was such a critical man in this dark
time in Israel, when people were not they were the
people in the temple knew, not the Lord. I mean,

(38:23):
this is a very serious time, and it's it's kind
of a headache sometimes to read through all the wars
and all the I won't call the reading the word
a headache, ever, Lord, I apologize, I repent. I'm saying
that it's a labor of love to go through this
much of the Bible where it's just like endless flesh,

(38:46):
bad decisions, fighting, wars, pride, egos. Well, the way you
read it is you go back to this prayer, this
victorious unleashing, unlocking of the anointing prayer that Hannah prayed.
I mean, she says it right here the Lord kills

(39:08):
and makes alive. He brings down to the grave, he
brings up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich. He
brings low, and he lifts up. So the Lord is
about to make a lot of democrats, not normal traditional ones,
but like the weird ones that voted for Kamala Harris
and still doubled on on that, and a lot of
just wicked men are about to start getting their wealth

(39:31):
taken away. And the Christians that have been I mean,
God bless us, but we've been not really doing it
right half the time most of the time. But the
ones that are faithful give to this man that invested
his talents, the talents from the guy that didn't do
anything with it. God is about to get really Jewish

(39:52):
with his people, and as in Jesus, the jew is
going to help make sure all of our accounts are
in order, and we're not there's no more waste, and
we're not gonna be like all like whoa wow when
we get our jets and we get our helicopters. And
because it's gonna be the company jet, it's gonna be
the church's jet. It's a body of Christ, it's an

(40:16):
economy of blessing and prosperity that none of us take
full credit for because we're all in our zone doing
our specific thing. But don't curse the people that have
a jet right now, because then when it comes time
for God to give you one, because God is the
one who's gonna give it to you, you're not gonna

(40:38):
have the faith for it because you spend all this
time criticizing people that did have it. You're gonna have
to repent from so many I have to repent for
so many things every day, and I'm getting free. And
it's the Lord makes poor and the Lord makes rich.
He brings low and he lifts up. What do you
see go out and saw? Well, I'm a truck always
done gone breaks down roundish time. The people of this

(41:03):
nation are cursing themselves with their tongues all the time.
God is trying to bless us. But we have to
have our hands open through our lips first and foremost,
be willing to change. And if we do end up
doing nephelim insurance or alien abduction insurance, I don't know.

(41:27):
That might be one fundraiser. That'll be a fun raiser.
But when it comes down to it, the Lord is
the one who is going to give us everything that
we need and then some. He says, I will open
up the storehouse of Heaven and pour out a blessing
so much so that you will not be able to

(41:50):
handle it. That's what Trump always says. He's like, look,
you're gonna be You're gonna be winning and winning and
winning and more winning and more winning. You're gonna be like, oh,
we're winning too much. But first we have to get

(42:15):
used to this culture of tithing again. I'm not asking
for money for me. I don't need your money. The
Lord is the one who pays my bills and takes
care of me. The gives and go is for the
Don Basha ministries, and it's there's a church that we
want to buy with that, and there are three cars

(42:37):
that I want to buy to be able to help
the local people and to turn around make that a
faithful investment. But if that's if that's not but in
my hands, I'm not gonna stop witnessing. I'm not gonna
stop all the different things that we do, printing out tracts,
and it's just that we're giving away time at a
loss on the books. It doesn't make sense. To move

(43:00):
forward this way. So we are going to set up
a five to one C three and we are going
to have car donations and just donated time. But every
single second somebody gets on the phone with a suicidal veteran,
we're going to keep very sharp notes and minutes because
that is worth gold, and gold is just falling here,

(43:23):
falling there. What we're doing here is extremely effective and useful.
Not in the sense of how many Instagram people you have.
You mean, how many board lonely distracted people are clicking
through your podcast? Well, how many effective ministers are you

(43:45):
in touch with? How many people that actually know how
to handle money and know how to get things done
in a militarized sense, not even on the outside. I mean,
it's it's about getting the job done. It's about actually
doing it, not just talking about it, says the podcast

(44:05):
host who spends hours a day talking. But we're speaking
the word. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse
that there may be meat in mine house. We have
meat for sale, by the way, a lot of it.
And prove me now herewith say it, the Lord of hosts.
If I will not open you the windows of heaven

(44:27):
and pour you out of blessing, that there shall not
be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke
the devourer for your sakes. And he shall not destroy
the fruits of your ground. Neither shall your vine cast
her fruit before the time in the field. Say it
the Lord of Hosts, and all nations shall call you blessed.

(44:48):
This is what's happening with America. I mean America as
an extension of Israel is blessed. And I can hear
Internet people's heads exploding when I said that. But it's true.
I mean we're an extension of Israel, which is God's country.
Doesn't mean the people are doing God's will all the time. Obviously,
people waste so much time debating that instead of just

(45:11):
reading the word. You shall be a delightsome land. Say it,
the Lord of Hosts. Your words have been stout against me,
Say the Lord. Yet you say, what have we spoken
so much against the You have said it is vain
to serve God? And what prophet is there that we
have kept his ordinance? And that we have walked mournfully

(45:33):
before the Lord of Hosts. See the ones that fear
the Lord. That hearkened and spoke often one to another
further on down up, you can read the whole thing, Mike.
At chapter three, God is he's marking and noting the

(45:53):
people who feared before the Lord, and it says that
a book of remembrance was written before him for them
that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
You can recognize it the more you get in the word,
not in like a self righteous way, but you can
recognize it as just like a matter of fact way,

(46:15):
like oh yeah, you're totally not in the word like
at all, Like I don't need to listen to you
go on and on and on. In the Babylon horror system,
the sinning woman who's giving you the fruit, you have
a choice to receive that or not. And hopefully you're

(46:39):
saying just say no to fruit, Just say no to
the fruit of the garden of you know, the tree
of knowledge of good and evil.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Just say no.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
I don't care how pretty she is, don't eat it.
And if you start looking at every day, you are
at that position where Adam and Eve were with the
snake with the fruit, and there's this beautiful wife of
yours or however we're looking at this the system of
this world that's now fallen, that's going to completely be

(47:12):
destroyed by the way. Don't eat of that fruit. Don't say, oh,
I'm going to take out a loan to pay off
this thing and get into debt for that. Don't speak
to those mountains in the way the world does. That
is sinning. Speaking against the word is sin. It's missing

(47:32):
the mark. We have plenty of space to repent. And
when you when you start to see this, it's like,
oh my gosh, Like I have opportunities not to sin
every day, all day. And at first people think you're crazy.
But you know what, I've already been on here talking
about space ships for years now, almost a decade at least. Yeah,

(47:54):
it's been over a decade coming online and talking about
the new Jerusalem and vision and dreams. And I've found
though that coming online and sharing visions and dreams usually
ends up just inspiring people to want to get into
the flesh. Whereas getting in love with the word and

(48:15):
making the word my whole world. That is where the
fruit is, and that's where I can feed others and
be fed myself, and the whole day is just completely transformed. Okay,
let's get into the authority and power of God's words.
So the point about the spaceships, though, is that we're
starting from the New Jerusalem and we're trickling our way

(48:38):
down and the river comes from the throne of God
into the judgment courtrooms of Heaven through his people and
through those that He has anointed to speak to us,
Ministers like Derek Prince and a lot of these ministers
that have had their faith to build up and get airports,

(49:00):
get wealth going for the sake of the Gospel. As
Jeremy Pearson said at their jet fundraiser which I want
to participate in, is that this is a preaching machine.
What is this beautiful studio that I have. It's a
preaching machine. And there's more ways to do this than

(49:22):
just in the back of a storefront. That every month
that it stays open is a miracle. We are in
a disaster zone in the mountains, full of witchcraft and
a lot of battles, but thank you Lord, we've had
just enough to still keep the lights on and speaking
the word out loud has provided a shield for the

(49:44):
operation here and we've been able to get a lot done,
but we could do a lot more. Anyway, Let's read
the fallibility of man oh, we read that yesterday. I'm sorry,
I forgot to ark that I read that. Thank you Lord,

(50:16):
how Jesus used scripture. This is so good. Hm hmmm.
Leading up to this though, I'll just back up a
little bit just in case. Jesus and the scripture, Yeah, okay,
to understand the authority and we got to do our
Derek Prince and I don't have any Star Wars music
right now.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
But.

Speaker 6 (50:37):
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
What would Prince do today? Let's let's we're not going
to the Witch of end or we're not summoning Derek
Prince from the afterlife. We're just just you know, close
your eyes and just picture Derek Prince coming and reading
to you some words.

Speaker 6 (50:56):
Hallelujah, hallelujah. Johnny Michael, Fringe Radio Network.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
Here we are today in TV Land.

Speaker 6 (51:16):
To understand the authority and power of God's word, we
need to consider the attitude of Jesus himself told the Bible,
because for us, who are his disciples, he is the pattern.
How did Jesus relate to the Bible. Let's look at
helpful scripture in the Gospel of John in the context

(51:37):
of a discussion with the Jewish leaders. Jesus said, if
he God called them gods to whom the Word of
God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken. In that
one verse, Jesus gives to the Bible the two titles
his followers have used ever since the Word of God
and the Scripture. When Jesus I identifies scripture as the

(52:01):
Word of God, he means it proceeds from God. It
did not even proceed from man. It came from Heaven,
from God. When he says the scripture, Jesus means that
which has been recorded in writing. God said many things
which are not recorded in writing. But those that are

(52:23):
recorded in the Scripture the Bible are recorded for our
special benefit. They contain all we need to know for
our salvation. Jesus attitude toward the Bible is summed up
in that phrase, the Scripture cannot be broken. Nothing can
express the authority of scripture more completely than that simple phrase.

(52:44):
If we believe that the Scripture cannot be broken, God
will hold us accountable for it. He will expect us
to accept the authority of Scripture in every area.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
Of our lives. Amen. Thank you Lord, Thank you for
Derek Prince Sie a later day, Prince, bye, thanks for
helping us. All right, now we're gonna switch the channel

(53:17):
over to Don Basham. We're not summoning Don Basham from
the spirit realm. We're not doing any kind of necromancy here.
This is not divination. Samuel was pode when they when
they did that, we are receiving words from great men

(53:38):
of God in the past. Okay, let's let's get Don
Bashman going. Okay, And I actually can't really do a
Don Bashm impression. So because he's my grandfather, that's like

(54:00):
making fun of your grandfather. You can't do that. But
I am going to read chapter two True and False
Profits here, and this is the truth. This collection of
work by my grandfather and his partner Derek Prince in

(54:23):
the past is so needed today that the devil has
fought so hard to keep Christians, especially Internet Christians, just
in the anything goes category of doctrine. But I'm thankful
for brother Johnny sharing some insights and his love for
scripture and his ability to be open to new interpretations.

(54:45):
Just brilliant. Now, Derek Prince Ministries is a publications ministry
and Don Basha Ministries also likewise, as we get the
ministry going, but you can go to emiic dot org
and have a shepherd pastoral anointing with the oral Roberts

(55:09):
anointing from the Copeland family. I would recommend doing that
as soon as possible, or just join and join a
local church or find a church that you like that
you can really get that covering over you. I'm not
here to be your pastor. I'm not here to be
your instructor or your teacher. We're like in a default

(55:33):
pastoral role at times because of the lack of that
and just the superfluous kind of religious spirit, we've from
time to time entered into those kind of roles. But
ideally you have an organized, ordered, militarized type of church

(55:54):
setting just the structure, the basic infrastructure, if you will.
I like the idea of just having a very militarized
functional like having prayer command and having you know, here
we are with communications. This studio literally looks to my
marine buddy. He says, it reminded him of some of

(56:15):
the Signals Intelligence Command bases in Iraq in the war.
I did I build this? You got a podcast studio.
You didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. Well,
kind of all the things in here are a total gift.
So I am so blessed and I'm just wanting to

(56:37):
pay it forward. Bless you. I have been blessed. I
want to bless you guys. And it's gonna be exciting
to see what God does because God is my source. Okay,
So God is the one, He is our deliver he
is the provider. Okay, we're gonna jump into true and
false profits. I was gonna kind of segue through that

(56:59):
music before, for it's just like Grandpa, Grandpa, come teach us,
teach us, hallelujah. But I don't want to be too silly,
just a little silly, just a tiny bit, just just
like my great grandmother used to say, I love you
just just a tiny bit, just just a tiny bit.

(57:21):
She was oozing with love for everybody. I just love
you just a tiny bit. I love you just a
little bit, all right, Hallelujah. So true and false prophets,
Thank you Jesus. It was some years ago that I
first wrote a book about immorality and unethical behavior among Christians.
I wrote with some haste and the hope that my

(57:41):
brief introductory survey of the subject would encourage other Christian
writers and teachers to examine the problem in greater depth.
But today, a decade later, that hope remains largely unfulfilled.
I know of no other book specifically addressing the subject,
and my first book is long out of print. Yet
the crisis of moral and unethical behavior among believers, including

(58:02):
Christians in leadership, seems to have grown steadily worse. I
wrestled with the problem for several years before deciding to
write about it. As an author and Bible teacher involved
in the charismatic renewals since nineteen sixty three, I had
seen thousands of Christians experience new life and power in
the Holy Spirit. But it didn't take long for me
to discover that the new blessings did not put an

(58:24):
end to old problems. In the counseling and correspondence that
accompany any public teaching ministry, I found myself listening to
an endless stream of confessions by troubled believers whose personal
problems seemed to deny the faith they professed. Many were
trapped in dishonest or immoral relationships with other Christians, including

(58:46):
Christian ministers. On occasion, I've even found myself sharing leadership
in conferences with men who had powerful public ministries but
whose private lives were a blatant contradiction of their public teaching.
Because of their moral behavior was not generally known or
at least not publicly admitted, they often took advantage of
the very people receiving their ministry iceive. I remember a

(59:12):
seminar in a western state where I spoke on spiritual warfare. Later,
in the prayer room, under the ministry of several mature leaders,
many people were set free from demonic torment. But there
was one troubled young divorcee. We could not help. She
became hysterical and rushed out of the prayer room, sobbing. Afterward,
one of the conference speakers, who had declined to help

(59:33):
us in the ministry was waiting outside the door. He
was furious. The young woman who had rushed from the
room was seated near him, still crying. What were you
men trying to do to this girl? Basham, he shouted, Man,
every time people get near you, they start imagining they
have demons. That deliverance ministry of yours causes nothing but trouble.

(59:56):
Before I could answer, he grabbed the girl by the
hand and hauled her away. A short time later, it
became public knowledge that the angry minister was in fact
engaged in an adulterous relationship with a young woman, an
affair that had led to the breakup of his own marriage.
No wonder she couldn't receive deliverance, No wonder he became
so angry. From such experiences, I came to realize that

(01:00:19):
spiritual anointing and power in a Christian's life are no
guarantee of moral or spiritual integrity. Watch out for false prophets.
Watch out for false prophets. Jesus warned by their fruit,
not their gifts, you will recognize them. In fact, the
naive and unscriptural belief that effective ministry is proof of

(01:00:40):
righteous character is one of the most dangerous of all fallacies.
It has allowed Satan to create havoc in the body
of Christ. Exposing that fallacy and correcting the religious naivete
that sustains it was to become a major goal of
my first book on the subject. Yet making the final
decision to write the book proved difficult. Regardless of what

(01:01:00):
seemed to be a genuine prompting from the Holy Spirit,
something inside me recoiled at the thought of writing in
on such a painful subject. Neither was I anxious to
stir up more trouble, since the deliverance ministry in which
I was involved was providing more than a little controversy already. Besides,
who was I to talk about other people's problems anyway?

(01:01:21):
Wouldn't I be accused of sitting in judgment? Wouldn't it
appear that I considered myself better than those that had
fallen into Satan's snare. While a loving wife and a
happy marriage gave me a security that some men in
ministry did not have, I knew I was no more
deserving than others who had fallen only for more fortunate.
In my case, opportunity for misconduct seemed providentially to coincide

(01:01:44):
with times when I felt spiritually secure. So this is
really a needed book. I believe in this generation, if
we can get people copies of my grandfather's books. This
is the only copy I have, Otherwise I'd make it available.
We've got a lot of faced up with the miracle copies.

(01:02:04):
But in general, don basham ministries. If you can just
pray for us that we're going to have those, and
I speak to this that we are going to have
the resources and the ability to make these available to
people on a large scale. All I can do is
make the sermons free, and we pay for the Don

(01:02:30):
Basham dot com u r L and the spreaker account
with Don Basham sermons. So you just hit Don Bashum
dot com and you can listen to his teachings. But
he would he would directly confront things like like does
this does this hurt? Does that hurt right there when
we push right there?

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Ah?

Speaker 5 (01:02:49):
Yeah that really hurts. Okay, good, We're gonna keep pushing
on it. Aha. So this is really what is needed.
I recall the last night of a meeting in a
northern city where during prayer at the church altar, a
number of people were visibly touched by the power of God.
One of them, a young woman with a stunning figure,
warmly embraced me in a manner that communicated more than

(01:03:12):
spiritual gratitude. Embarrassed, I peeled her arms from around my neck,
said something about giving God the glory, and turned to
pray with someone else. At seven am the next morning,
at my motel, I was already dressed and packed when
there was a knock on my door. When I opened it,
there stood the same sexy young lady, dressed even more provocatively.

(01:03:35):
She breathed something about needing counseling and started past me
into the room. Grabbing her firmly by the arm, I said,
we can talk while I have breakfast. Safely seated in
the coffee shop, I listened to her tearful recitation about
an unhappy marriage to a wealthy older man who seemed
largely oblivious to his wife's physical charms. I'm so hungry

(01:03:57):
for love and affection. I'm ready to have an affair,
she said, frank, trying not to look shocked. I expressed
sympathy for her plight, suggesting that she had she and
her husband find an understanding marriage counselor as soon as possible,
and reminded her I had a plane to catch. Then
I raced my room for my luggage, caught the airport limousine,
and forty five minutes later, was safely aboard the plane,

(01:04:19):
headed home to my wife and children. But even as
I thanked God for protecting me that day, sober memories
of other days came to mind, low despairing days of
doubting God, days that left me struggling against unholy mind
staring thoughts that never found expression and outward conduct had
opportunity for sin ever appeared at such a time, avoiding

(01:04:40):
satan snare would have proved far more difficult. That's a
sermon by the way that he made avoiding satan snare.
And I'll add to this. You know, the the answer
is always the Word. So how do you make it
through a dark time where it's like, oh, what if
you do have an affair? What if you do turn
into some raging alcoholic drug addict, chain smoking, dog kicking,

(01:05:10):
wife beating, or even just a gossip or a backslider,
somebody that's like, well, I don't really believe in the
Bible anymore. Oh my gosh. There's people that I've told
me this that were Christians before I was in a
marriage where that literally was the case. Just see somebody
just slowly leave their faith behind and and it just

(01:05:32):
got worse and worse. And people there's even people that
are supposedly in the Word kind of, but they don't
really have that loving relationship with God. And God has
put his word even above his name, so you can
sit there and have mystic revelations all day. But if
I don't see a Bible in your hand. I doubt

(01:05:52):
those mystic revelations are really going to be helpful in
the end, especially mystics that say, don't bring your Bible
to church, don't be looking for verses in your Bible
while I'm preaching. That is so dangerous. And I've never
had more respect for the Bible now than when I've

(01:06:13):
come into the circles of Word of faith where you
don't have a bunch of affairs with Jesse du Plantis
and Jerry Savelle passed on and he's left his wife
with this beautiful ministry. I think I gave him like
twenty bucks and I got all these phone calls for
prayer and ministry. I mean, that is a real legit,
beautiful ministry still going strong. I speak that ministry is

(01:06:37):
going to be even stronger than when he left, proportionally
as Derek Prince Ministries was after Derek Prince died. Derek
Prince Ministry is exploded, and I'm speaking life into the
Don Basham ministries because I don't know how to start
a ministry. I mean, I'm a humble podcast host, but
there are people out there that need these words, and

(01:07:00):
I know there's still a few people that remember his name,
and there are young men rising up who actually know
of my grandfather's work, and they're out there ordaining, planting churches,
going on the attack. God bless him, Derek, Dennis and
David and others that I've met in California. So and

(01:07:22):
the devil hates it when we read this, so I'm
just going to keep reading it. Literally had a police
encounter after the last broadcasts where the first broadcast where
I started read true and false prophets, somebody called the
police on me, and it was like the most random
like way that persecution could come for the words sake,

(01:07:43):
And I just realized, the devil is literally getting stirred
up as we're reading these words, as we're sharing these words.
The enemy is so furious because he's lost so much
to my grandfather's ministry, and we're carrying on that legacy
right now in this studio. I'm gonna stop talking about it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
I'm gonna I'm gonna stop talking about the gun.

Speaker 5 (01:08:05):
We're gonna start shooting with it. Well, here's the Holstern,
here's the Baron Olan. I don't know if we'll finish
this chapter today, but I just want to say though,
that the Word is the answer, and you can sandwich
these heavy topics with really solid, encouraging teaching from Nancy

(01:08:31):
DeFraine or the Copeland family or Jesse Duplantis and just
get that word flow. I listened to Pastor Keith Moore
all night last night. I just listened to the whole
series of God's Will to heal? And is it God's
will to heal you? Yes? Do you look heal? Do
you feel healed? Doesn't matter. God already pay for my healing.

(01:08:54):
I am healed. I'm not gonna back down. And you
can say, well, I don't feel happy. Well, God is
delivering you from a spirit of heaviness and depression. And
it's not about feeling happy too. It's actually joy is
way deeper. The joy of the Lord is your strength.

(01:09:14):
But for all my reservations and unanswered questions, the problem
of immorality and unrighteous behavior in the Body of Christ
seems so great, and the prompting of the Holy Spirit
seems so insistent, I felt I had to say something.
My first attempt took place in a Bible seminar in
West Palm Beach, Florida. I remember the occasion vividly because
of the audience's unexpected reaction to my teaching. In my

(01:09:34):
message that evening, I began by sharing some thoughts on
the differences between the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which
are manifestations of God's supernatural power, and the fruit of
the Spirit, which reflects righteous character. I stressed the need
for both. Then I cited some scriptural examples of leaders
who fell into immorality. I also shared some carefully disguised
illustrations of contemporary influential Christians whose lives had been wrecked

(01:09:58):
by a dishonesty or immorality. I ended the message with
a fervent plea for personal righteousness and holiness. While I
felt the Holy Spirit's approval as I spoke, public response
was not what I expected. The audiences I normally faced
were conditioned to hearing messages on spiritual renewal, faith, healaying deliverance,
which is great by the way. They were used to

(01:10:21):
hearing testimonies of answered prayer, and hearing how the power
of God could be more fully released in their own lives.
They were shocked and stunned by my blunt warnings about
dishonesty and immorality, and their reactions quickly showed it. I
was accustomed to people coming forward after a message to
ask questions, to express appreciation, or to seek ministry, but
this time the group was much smaller than usual and

(01:10:43):
mostly hostile. Some frankly said they didn't believe me. Others
asked sharp, critical questions I could not answer, making me
aware that I needed to make a more thorough scriptural
study of the whole subject. One man, a minister, said
he believed it was highly inappropriate to speak publicly about
such sensitive matters. The barrage of criticism tempted me to

(01:11:05):
drop the whole subject permanently. Fortunately, among the crowd of
critics were a few people who seemed grateful, saying things
like I've been waiting for years for somebody to tell
it like it is. I was most affected by the
confession of a woman who drew me aside to speak
in private. She had become sexually involved with a prominent
Bible teacher and had suffered months of deep distress and

(01:11:26):
guilt before finding forgiveness and restoration with God. I was
weak and foolish in allowing me myself to be seduced,
she confided, and I know God has forgiven me but
what distresses me most is the attitude of the minister
who took advantage of me. He became furious when I
broke off the affair, but publicly he still preaches and

(01:11:47):
teaches as if nothing happened, shouldn't something be done to
correct or discipline him. Her testimony and her plaintive question
helped keep my resolve alive. Final encouragement to write the
book came from a conversation with Len Lessard and his wife,
the late Catherine Marshall. The Lyswords were members of the

(01:12:08):
editorial board of Chosen Books, which only a few months
earlier had published my book, Deliver Us from Evil. One evening,
when my wife Alis and I were having dinner with them,
the conversation turned to the subject of my next book.
When Catherine heard I was considering writing on morals and ministry,
but was feeling reluctant to tackle such a sensitive subject,
she shared something that occurred during the writing of her

(01:12:30):
best selling novel, Christi. In Catherine's novel, Miss Alice Henderson,
a Quaker missionary, confesses to a shocked and protesting Christi
how as a sixteen year old girl, she had been
seduced by a Quaker evangelist. In the book, her Tragic
Confession covers an entire chapter. I've extracted only a few paragraphs,

(01:12:51):
so we're not going to finish this chapter today. I
think it'll be good to come back to this tomorrow.
But the book True and False Prophets, which were reading today,
is in my hands. And it's not like to dwell
on sin, but it's to be aware of and to

(01:13:12):
share among responsible people that I mean, this is kind
of normal actually to have this kind of like the
great thing is you've got church going, you've got people
coming together, and you've got the church happening, and you
can read First and Second Corinthians and you can see
all the issues that were going on. First Corinthians is

(01:13:34):
like whoa man? Whoa I mean, Paul is delivering people
to Satan for the destruction of the flesh. Little leven.
Leven's the whole lump purge out there for the old leven,
that you may be a new lump as you are
unlevened for even Christ, our pass over is sacrificed for us.

(01:13:55):
Just real fatherly instruction in First Corinthians and dealing with
these kinds of problems and Second Corinthians gets a lot
more out there and just wow, like you clear out
the sin and all the issues that are blatantly obviously wrong,
and then you get to go into the revelations of God,

(01:14:19):
because then the Holy Spirit can land in that spot
where there's a clean holy temple that doesn't have all
this prostitution going on. Basically, but even in the Word,
he doesn't get too out there. There's so much to

(01:14:43):
do in our lives today when it comes to living
your Christian life that to just get into out there
stuff all the time. I mean, I'm a baby when
it comes to ministry, Like just starting to learn my
pastors showing up in my dreams helping me to repent
from things, stuff that I didn't even know was junk.

(01:15:06):
They're like, yeah, you don't need that. Like Pastor Terry
showed up in a dream and she was just showing me, like,
I had this book from Japan and I really liked
this story, but there's a lot of violence in it
and not very Christian themes. And she was basically taking
the book out of my hand as she was talking,
and she was replacing it with another book that was

(01:15:26):
more pure, and she's like, you know, my father used
to do this and that and whatever he would preach,
and she was just doing it in such a Southern
Texas lady kind of a classy way. And I'm like, yeah,
I'll get rid of that, sure. I mean, things that
I never even thought were hindering my life for God.

(01:15:51):
And then another dream I had. I was like a
little kid, and I was walking around the church and
Pastor Terry was getting ministry ready and getting the like
the service ready, and I was literally getting to just
follow her around and just be a part of it
and see how it was all gonna happen. So trippy,

(01:16:14):
like how a pastor. Once you come under a pastor,
they their spirit. You're like, well, how are they gonna
have time for me? Listen to me? I mean, her
deputy Pastor Brian was right in this studio last year
or was that this year? When did they come here?
I forget it was around November. I think it was

(01:16:36):
following the hurricane. Anyway, Yeah, tomorrow's Halloween. So praise God,
We're gonna get through this season of darkness. And I'm
not even gonna pay attention to the devil. They're just
a bunch of squabblers. Screamers. I was in Walgreens yesterday

(01:16:56):
and I was like, you know this, this worship of
death is getting out of control. Like I take my
kids to school and there's like a dead baby face
on the big house in front of the school, like
just blatant evil and worship of evil in front of
little kids. And when the police officer came because some

(01:17:17):
ridiculous thing, I literally got out of the car and
opened the door and was cleaning my car. And because
I had millet like army pants on, somebody thought maybe
I was like some dangerous, weird guy like officer. I
was literally cleaning my car while waiting for my child
to get here. But since we're here, sir, and he

(01:17:40):
was like frazzled too. It was weird. It was just
the whole thing was weird. But I had just finished
a podcast reading true and false prophets, so I knew
that it was the devil trying to frazzle me. And
I refuse to get frazzled. I refuse to get all funky.
You'll know, when you get into the word enough, the

(01:18:01):
first reaction is not fear. Your first reaction is faith
and love and patience. But I was I confronted the officer,
and I was like, well, sir, since you're here, what
about that big demonic evil thing that all these little
children see when they come to the Christian school. And

(01:18:22):
he just said, oh, it's a halloween. There's nothing we
can do, like okay, but what if there's like anyway,
thank you sir, Sorry, okay, sorry for the trouble today, officer.
I've spent a lot of time outside this country. What

(01:18:45):
year is it, twenty twenty five. I've spent almost twenty
years on exotic missionary frontiers, and the Lord saw fit
to just PLoP us down here in the mountains. And

(01:19:06):
you know, people are living their lives and they're they're
happily going throughout their credit cards and seeing which one
isn't overcharged and seeing which one they can, and going
to church and having some word. But then these curses,
like we're just all sinners, say bad grace? Don't you
dare say amen when somebody says that you are the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I don't care how

(01:19:28):
messed up your life is, but I'm I'm here, and
we're here. You're obviously here too, And this is an
excellent opportunity to wage war on the enemy's camp through prayer,
through absorbing the word, and through sharing the word. And

(01:19:49):
these Don Bashim books are sitting there. I've got a
box of tapes there that I recorded to spreaker to
don Bashum dot com for free. They been sitting there
for years, though, how is anybody going to find them?
So I'm taking it to the next level and We're
going to assemble more warriors together. I've driven across the

(01:20:12):
country from to Florida to California and back up to
the mountains the Atlantic Ocean, and these podcasts are declarations
of God's Kingdom coming to us, the Word of God manifesting.
And I'm just kind of like I've had it with

(01:20:33):
everyday life that people live in their own little box,
and they things are about to change. Don't miss the boat,
get your butt in that prayer closet, get your eyes
on that word of God. You'll start to notice when
people are are being children. And in a faithless generation.

(01:20:56):
I mean, Jesus just kept saying, He's like, man, this
is a faithless generation America. Hello, guys, it's a faithless generation.
And I don't consider myself on some high horse here.
It's like the pursuit. I see the mountain top ahead,

(01:21:16):
and I want to go straight up to the top
of that mountain. I think people who listen to me,
who consents that this is real, Like, we're not here
to play, We're not here to pass the time. We're
not here because we don't know what else to do
with ourselves. The Word of God is your only defense.

(01:21:38):
It is your only refuge and shelter and get under ministries.
That likewise, at least they're pursuing that they know ministry
is perfect, but the Word of God is perfect and
converts the soul silver purified seven times. You can't go
wrong with the word, like confess, confess of the Word

(01:22:01):
through your lips. Get Basics, Get the Basics booklets free.
We're going to make that more on the front burner.
You can get the Basics book. You can get Insights
on Prayer. That's at Happy Texas Bell b E L
L E on X and that's our Prayer Command, Admiral

(01:22:26):
of Prayer Command. I have a book as well, Kingdom Romance.
It's a more of a fun trippy adventure, my first
attempt at fiction, which only good reviews so far. Some
really good reviews, some really like encouraging ones saying, you know,

(01:22:48):
keep writing and pray for our businesses. We have a
lot of different operations going on. I'd like to encourage you.
Think of yourself as an udrop. Don't just think clock
in and clock out's always going to be here, because
it ain't, because it ain't God's will. You don't lack
it when his people are slaves in babylone, just say

(01:23:11):
no to slavery, all right, hallelujah. Last of all, let's
read one of these little daily mites here. Watch out
about compromise. The devil will do everything he can attempt
you to forsake God's way, and if he can't get
you to stop, he tries to get you to compromise.
He tempts you with half truths that make you doubt
your convictions or not live up to them fully. Most

(01:23:36):
people don't realize that if they hold one little thing
back from the Lord, one little compromise, they're on their
way to backsliding, because one little disobedience leads to another,
one little refusal in denial leads to another, and one
bit of selfishness leads to more. So let this be
a warning to you. You might think, oh, it's just

(01:23:56):
this one little tiny sin, it's just this one little
tiny thing, it's not important. But that little crack in
your armor is where the devil begins to seep in,
and then his gas of deceit begins to poison your mind. Well,
maybe God doesn't want to heal me. I don't know,

(01:24:18):
because you disobeyed, and pretty soon you're totally off the track. Ah,
off the track, And if you don't really repent and stop,
you'll eventually go all the way back on the Lord.
Don't let it happen to you. Be faithful to the Lord,
be faithful to the voice of God, be faithful to
his work, the particular ministry He's called you to be loyal.

(01:24:39):
Resist the enemy, and he will flee from you. James
four to seven. Don't give him an inch, or he'll
take a mile or more. And everything you've got give
no place to the evil one. Amen, hallelujah, Thank you,
Larie Belle, bless you. Good morning. So this is a
little bit of an earlier broadcast today. Thank you for
